Expo takes global approach EMILY BRANT news@uncmirror.com More than 30 international groups, cultural centers and community organizations gathered Wednesday in the University Center Ballrooms for the World Expo.

The World Expo was part of International Week, an annual weeklong event hosted by the Center for International Education. As guests walked around the various tables, they were able to eat food specific to each represented country and learn more about each cultures.

Almost every continent was represented at the expo.

Each table had various items common to the country it was representing, with international students explaining more about their cultures.

Gena Sturgon, a junior cultural anthropology and sports and exercise science major, helped organize the World Expo as a volunteer with CIE. Sturgon said the purpose of the event was to raise awareness of the international emphasis UNC

“It creates a ripple effect,” Sturgon said. “When one student hears that you know someone from Taiwan or Australia, then they want to get to know international students too. It’s a way to get more people involved.”

Ludivine Costanzo, Claire Moussu and Audrey Helleu, French exchange students, made crepes and displayed examples of high-end fashion that originated in France, such as Dior and Chanel.

UNC cultural centers, such as the Marcus Garvey Cultural Center, Asian/Pacific American Student Services and the Korean Student Association, also made an appearance.

Various community organizations also con-

tributed to the World Expo.

A group of Somali students from Greeley Central High School and Greeley West High School spoke with visitors about their journey from Somalia to the United States, education and the trials of learning English as a second language.

The Greeley chapter of the Zonta Club, a women’s rights advocacy group, also took part in the festivities. Representatives said their goal is to advance the status of women worldwide through service and information.

The University of Northern Colorado Taekwondo Club also presented some of their techniques that originated in the orient, such as breaking concrete blocks with their fists.

A group of Saudi Arabian men also took the floor and demonstrated a traditional dance.

Sturgon also discussed how international students often go back to their own universities with plans of creating programs similar to UNC’s International Ambassador Program.

The World Expo housed just a small portion of the international groups on campus. UNC has more than 300 international students on campus, with 100 fulldegree-seeking students.

Facebook continues quest to conquer time-wasting universe Take a moment to think of everything Facebook has to offer.

People can play Farmville, upload a weekend’s worth of pictures, take a quiz to figure out which Jersey Shore persona they best exemplify and rant about an annoying roommate.

Mission Statement

Facebook is one of many places on the Internet friends can connect, games can be played and pictures can be posted. And with more than 600 million users, it is clearly the most popular for not just the aforementioned activities, but several others.

Movies are already advertised on Facebook anyway. So to Warner Bros., it made sense to stream the movies to Facebook users on demand.

The first movie available will be “The Dark Knight,” the most “liked” movie on Facebook with almost 4 million.

teamed with Warner Bros. to make a new advancement in online video streaming.

According to IHS Screen Direct, DVD revenues are falling and Americans spent $385 million dollars to rent or buy movies online last year. That, coupled with the fact that Facebook is the second-most visited website in the country behind Google, according to Internet marketing research firm ComScore, it’s easy to understand why the decision to do this was made.

It gives Facebook another branch into its users’ lives.

A

ing field experience by shadowing middle school counselors. My time there has taught me the delights of deciphering the secrets that lay behind the adorable cherubim faces of sneaky little tweens.

At that age, an overdependence on peer approval prevails over the sensible advice an adult may give.

The limbic system, which is the basis of emotions in the brain, bursts with activity during pubes-

cent years, leaving the prefrontal cortex — which regulates emotions— to catch up, finally finishing in a person’s early 20s.

This lack of control explains the counselor's daily chore of untangling yet another ferocious feud started by playground name-calling. Slurs based on race, gender, sexuality and religion are tossed about by kids who can’t grasp their context and upset kids who don’t understand the emotions incited.

I expect juveniles to test the weight of these words much like a toddler will pick up a toy, chew on it and hurl it at any nearby target; that seemingly whimsical act is actually a key part of development, learning the repercussions of our actions. We are all born into this world with an identity beyond our control, and it is a natural part of maturation to feel

out the boundaries, expectations and trappings of those spheres society assigns in order to gain understanding of our world.

On campus, however, I’m privy to exactly the same thing. Girls abuse each other with charming terms like “skank;” “gay” and “faggot” are also still used.

Maybe I’m overreaching, but I expect my peers to be sensible of the impact of their vocabulary.

The power of words is indubitable.

The incalculable array of abstract concepts that we are able to communicate is staggering, and we learn volumes through verbal interaction. Language is a tool through which we can define and elaborate upon the contents of our soul, yet people limit themselves with vituperative vile slogans and perforate their relationships by using insults as endearments.

People argue that they don’t mean the word in its historical context and are carving out a new connotation for it, but I find that to be a cop out. The context stands anytime you make use of a word in public; redirecting the meaning of a word only works if you can redirect the implications that our entire society has linked with it, which stands as yet an insuperable feat.

What is so attractive about the notion of fighting to keep words based upon the notion of depreciating another person or group? If you want to make a positive change, it would be more effective to eradicate words that are instruments of oppression and build your relationships with words of respect.

New organization seeks drug policy reform Constitution, law enforcement discussed during initial event SARA VAN CLEVE news@uncmirror.com

The UNC chapter of Students for Sensible Drug Policy hosted its first campus event Wednesday to give students an opportunity to learn about their rights when encountering law enforcement.

Know Your Rights Day featured information about SSPD, the chapter’s specific goals and a screening of the informational film “10 Rules for Dealing with Police.”

The purpose of this event was to teach students their rights as United States citizens, which are protected under the U.S. Constitution.

Drake Bellias, a freshman philosophy major, helped found the University of Northern Colorado chapter in September and said he thinks it is important for informational events like this one to be hosted on campus.

“It’s really important because students today don’t know what their rights are,” Bellias said.

“Students have rights, but they can get tricked by the wording of cops.”

The film, created by the non-profit organization Flex Your Rights, presented students with 10 tips on how to use and protect their rights when encountering law enforcement officials

whether it is during a routine traffic stop or regarding a controlled substance.

Christopher Pezza, a junior business major and president of SSDP, said there are three main pieces of advice to remember when in a situation dealing with law enforcement.

“Remember that police have the right to lie,” Pezza said. “Just because they say, ‘Your buddy told me you were selling pot,’ all of that can be false. They’re allowed to do that to try and see if you are up to something.

Never consent to searches, ever. It doesn’t matter if you’re doing something wrong or if you’re not doing something wrong.

You’re protected by the Constitution to never consent to searches, so never do it. Flex your rights as an American.”

Pezza said it is also important for students to be polite and respectful to officers and remain calm.

About 20 students attended the event, including several studentdrug-policy activists.

Kelsie Lefebvre, a freshman pre-nursing major, is one activist who said she will continue to go to SSDP events.

“I’m a part of SSDP because I got caught with possession, and I’m against the (current) laws right now,” Lefebvre said.

“SSDP can eliminate the amount of people who get

caught for not a very good reason.”

The organization is working to help repeal the Financial Aid Elimination Clause in the Higher Education Act. The clause eliminates any financial aid college students are receiving if they are caught in possession of one-half of a gram of marijuana and refuse to take the required drug courses.

Next year, SSDP will join other organizations, such as the Drug Policy Alliance and other SSDP chapters, in a statewide campaign to legalize marijuana in the 2012 primary election. The chapter will also have informational booths at upcoming conventions in Denver.

For more information about SSDP and Flex Your Rights, visit www.ssdp.org and www.flexyourrights.org.

Aspiring health professionals assist those in need TESSA BYRNS news@uncmirror.com

For the fifth year in a row, UNC’s Pre-Health Professionals Club members donated their time and efforts by volunteering Wednesday at the Weld County Food Bank in downtown Greeley.

Health Professionals Club is not exclusively for health majors, but many of the events the club hosts are targeted toward students who are looking for a healthcare career after graduation. The club helps provide health majors with their required volunteer credits.

About 35 students participated in the volunteer opportunity, and members said they take great pride in providing services to those in the community who need their help.

“Malnutrition affects a substantial portion of the Weld community,” Weigum said. “As future healthcare providers, we are passionate about the well-being of others and seek to help the less fortunate. To serve the community is helping those in need. We are so fortunate, so giving back to the community is the least we can do.”

The club tries to host projects that help the progress of community health.

The International Film Series and the Schulze Speaker Series brought Chinese film director Evans Chan to the UNC campus for two days this week.

Tuesday, Chan’s film “The Map of Sex and Love” was screened, and the following day, his film “Bauhinia” was shown as part of IFS.

“The Map of Sex and Love” is a film about the portrayal of sexuality — not only straight, but homosexual, as well. The film is based in post-colonial Hong Kong.

Sarah Kirby, an English graduate student, said she thinks international films often say more than American-made films.

“I think a lot of times, Hollywood films are focused on big-action and complex scenes,”

Kirby said. “Whereas a lot of foreign films, in some way, are a little more pacified. There’s a bit more subtlety in international films, but I feel like they say more because of the layers of complexity, which they expose in their interactions between cultures.”

Following the screening of “Bauhinia” Wednesday, Chan gave a lecture titled “Drama and Docu-drama: Reflections

on Fact and Fiction in Film,” and he engaged in a discussion with the audience.

“Bauhinia” is a film based in New York shortly after Sept. 11, 2001, and follows a young Asian film student who is making a documentary on China’s strict birthing laws. While she is editing her film, she struggles with her pregnancy and whether her See Filmmaker, Page 7

“In a forthcoming book about Evans Chan and his films, cinema scholar Tony Williams has described Evans as a critic, a film maker and a trans-cultural artist,” said Kenneth Chan, an assistant professor of film studies at UNC. Evans lives in both Hong Kong and New York.

He was in New York on 9/11 and said he knew

three people who died in the attacks, and his main female lead for “Bauhinia” fled New York because of her newborn and the risks involved. Afterward, he included the terrorist attacks in his story line but focused on the struggles of a potential mother living in New York.

Men’s hoops earns NCAA berth for first time DAVID WILSON sports@uncmirror.com

Hill, its first regular season Big Sky Conference championship and now a 65-60 instant-classic win in the tournament championship game over Montana has guaranteed the University of Northern Colorado its first trip to the NCAA tour-

nament in school history.

The regular season and tournament MVP, UNC senior guard Devon Beitzel, finished with a game-high 27 points.

Beitzel scored 11 of the Bears’ (21-10, 13-3) final 13 points to seal the victory.

No shot was bigger on the night than his 3-point dagger with a minute to go and three seconds left on the shot clock that boosted UNC’s lead to 5750, which sent the soldout crowd into a frenzy.

“I caught the ball real deep and didn’t have time to make a move, so I just let it go,” Beitzel said.

To have the community step up and take ownership of this program and be a part of it is really special. They deserve a lot of credit.

“Luckily for us, the ball went down, and emotions just took over.”

UNC came into the game ranked sixth in the nation in free throw shooting but struggled Wednesday night, going 21-of-35 in the game.

Beitzel was able to salvage the poor shooting at the line by hitting five of his last six free throw attempts in the final two minutes to halt the Grizzlies’ comeback.

“It’s a sign of a good team that we didn’t let that affect our defense and other aspects of our game,” senior forward Neal Kingman said.

Kingman scored 10 points on the night, and junior forward Mike Proctor added six points and nine rebounds off the bench en route to being named to the all-tournament team along with Beitzel and senior forward Chris Kaba.

“I didn’t think I was going to get it because Neal and Chris have been playing great,” Proctor said. “My numbers are down from last season and not where I want them to be. But that doesn’t really matter about the whole season; it matters when it comes down to the end of the season.”

Students rushed the floor for the third time in the last two weeks, turning over tables and chairs on their way to celebrate the momentous and historic victory.

Bears head to NCAA wrestling championships STAFF REPORT sports@uncmirror.com

The UNC wrestling team will have two representatives at the NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships in Philadelphia next week after the NCAA announced Wednesday junior Casey Cruz earned an at-large bid.

Cruz, who wrestles at 133 pounds, will join sen-

ior Justin Gaethje, who wrestles at 149 pounds, at the championships.

Cruz was named one of 50 at-large selections by the NCAA Division I Wrestling Committee, which used a selection process that included head-to-head competition, quality wins, results against common opponents, winning percentage and coaches rankings, among other things. The

process was in no specific order.

Cruz finished competition in the Western Wrestling Conference with a 6-0 record and lost in the finals of the 133pound weight class Sunday at the NCAA West R e g i o n a l / W W C Championships in Colorado Springs.

Cruz’s first opponent will be Andrew Long, a sophomore from Penn

State. Long, the No. 4 wrestler in the country at 133 pounds according to InterMat.com, is the third seed and is a returning AllAmerican.

Gaethje won the thirdplace match in the 149pound weight division Sunday, which gave him an automatic bid into the NCAA Championships.

Gaethje earned an atlarge bid last season and also became the first

UNC beat the Lady Griz, 65-56, Jan. 6 in Missoula, Mont., but suffered a 53-51 loss Feb. 12 at ButlerHancock Sports Pavilion.

Four players scored in double-figures for the Bears in their January win, led by sophomore forward Lauren Oosdyke, who had 20

points. UNC held Montana to one made 3-pointer on the night and 34 percent shooting for the game.

The Bears also outrebounded the Lady Griz 3528 and posted 16 assists to Montana’s four.

Montana led that game by three points at halftime but allowed UNC to score 40 points after intermission.

UNC freshman guard D’shara Strange tallied 12 points in the game, and sophomore guard Victoria

Timm and freshman forward Kim Lockridge both came off the bench to score 10 and 14 points, respectively.

In UNC’s home loss, the Bears won the rebounding battle 36-34 but attempted only nine free throws in the game and committed 21 turnovers.

The Bears face Montana at 5:35 p.m. today in Portland, Ore. If UNC wins, it will face the winner of Eastern

Washington and Portland State at 3:07 p.m. Saturday.

UNC was 2-0 against Eastern Washington this season and 1-1 against Portland State with each team winning on its home floor.

Next Game: Montana 5:35 p.m.

Division I All-American wrestler at UNC in the last 40 years.

At the Championships, Gaethje will face a familiar foe, Ganbayar Sanjaa, a junior from American University. Sanjaa is the No. 8 wrestler at 149 pounds in the country according to InterMat.com and is the eight seed in the Championships.

Gaethje and Sanjaa faced each other in the

finals of the 2009-10 Old Chicago Open at 157 pounds when Sanjaa was wrestling for Colby Community College. The match went into four overtimes before Sanjaa finally won on a reversal in the final overtime.

The 2011 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships will begin March 17 and continue through March 19 at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia.
