Contestants vie for recognition in business plan competition BENJAMIN WELCH news@uncmirror.com

Burgeoning businessmen and women presented their business plans in the final stage of the Entrepreneurial Challenge Thursday in the University Center. The 10 contestants, who came from all over the state, competed for a chance to win $3,000, $5,000 or $10,000 in two categories: Start Up Ventures and Stage Two Growth. A panel of six judges

determined the outcome of the challenge. The judges’ resumes included a chief operations officer, programs directors and general managers from Hewlett Packard, Northstar Financial Companies and Rocky Mountain Innosphere, to name a few. The keynote address was delivered by Gary Hoover, an author, consultant and founder of one of the original book superstores, BOOKSTOP, and Hoovers.com., an Internet database of compa-

nies and people in business. Hoover said curiosity is one of the main attributes to a successful businessperson. “My conclusion is that most people in most industries are not fundamentally curious. They are not out there looking around. They are not asking questions,” Hoover said. “There are people curious about something,

but they never do anything about it. Being an entrepreneur, you both have to be curious and you have to actually go do something about it.” When he was 12 years old, Hoover said he subscribed to FORTUNE Magazine because he was interested in the way company founders gain inspira-

tion. Expanding on that, he said as a young man he talked to local business managers and owners to gain insight because history shows those who pick great minds succeed. Throughout the day, business professors and other entrepreneurs conducted workshops. Topics included management styles, utilizing the Internet, marketing and sourcing capital. “It’s been a very interesting process to go through this competition because it’s really helped us learn and grow,” said Ben Roscoe, a competitor who created a heart rate monitor smart phone application through his flag ship corporation, Roscoe Sports Tech. “It’s an incremental process where you start with all kinds of information you want to talk about, and as you slowly learn your product, you actually

find out that you can start to distill what you want to say in a short amount of space.” Participants said regardless of contest outcome, the competition was a way to jumpstart business ideas. “We’ve taken this as an opportunity to develop the business aspect of ours,” said Adam Doehling, Roscoe’s assistant. “It was kind of a kick in the pants to get us going in creating our business plan and presentations. It’s good motivation, and we got great feedback. The winner of the Start Up Ventures was Steven Roy, developer of VetDC, a company that modifies human technologies for companion animal benefit. Jacob Castillo, founder of Panda Bicycles, a company that makes bicycles out of bamboo, was the victor in the Stage Two Growth category.

Alumna’s passion for orphans helps win contest EMILY BRANT news@uncmirror.com A UNC alumna recently traveled to Madrid, Spain to test drive a new 2012 Ford Focus and was awarded $10,000 to donate to her favorite charity, all as part of the 2012 Ford Focus

Consumer Drive contest. The contest presented 40 individuals the opportunity and reward. Among the winners was Suzanne Damstedt, who graduated from the University of Northern Colorado in 1993 with a degree in psychology.

Damstedt said she has used her degree in a variety of contexts but none closer to her heart than working with orphaned children. Three of her nine children have been adopted from China. Four years ago, Damstedt began volunteering with Love

Packed pavilion pushes patrons’ passion for game passes One of the biggest sporting events in Division I UNC history took place Wednesday when the men’s basketball team beat Sacramento 84-54 in ButlerHancock Sports Pavilion. Excited to finally have a sports team worth bragging about, many students ventured to Butler-Hancock in anticipation of watching the Bears clinch the Big Sky Conference title. However, some of these students were, surprisingly, turned away. A new student club, Cheering On With Spirit or C.O.W.S., as it is more commonly called, somehow was able to make its original yellow and blue T-shirt the ticket into the game.

Mission Statement The Mirror’s mission is to educate, inform and entertain the students, staff and faculty of the UNC community, and to educate the staff on the business of journalism in a college-newspaper environment.

could attend for “free,” or, rather, could take advantage of the fees they are paying the school for sporting events. Because this decision was not the UNC Athletic Department’s, they are not to blame for this debacle. Therefore, even those who possessed the necessary shirts but arrived too late — an hour before tip-off — were forced to find game coverage on the radio or on the Internet. Also, it’s understandable that those who have cheered on the team in previous contests should have preferred seating instead of those who “just want to watch the good games.” However, this suggests that other students who

are less loyal and dedicated and don’t deserve entry. Perhaps some students are bogged down from working six days a week to afford attending school full-time and made sacrifices to cheer on the Bears in their championship run only to be turned away. The point is, when all students have the right to attend an event, UNC should first recognize that right and not base entry on prior participation. Student Senate has made available 460 tickets for the Bears’ semi-final and championship game. If what students are wearing during the game is controlled, at least make it open to all UNC apparel and not just one club’s shirt.

Crude apparel slogans give insight to disappointing personalities Joanna LANGSTON

For a ticket, students were told they had to be wearing a C.O.W.S. shirt, which could have been acquired at previous men’s basketball games if a student so happened to want an item of apparel that associates them with a large bovine. But the denial of entry doesn’t stop here. In an e-mail sent Thursday, UNC Athletics stated that because the big game was expected to be at capacity, the number of students allowed in for free was shrunk by the Big Sky Conference to expand the amount of sales revenue from purchased seats. Out of the more than 12,000 students at the school, only about 460

keep seeing people sporting paraphernalia with the slogan “haters love me.” I have to say, that seems like an enormous pile of silliness, and I don’t quite understand what that means. Are you supposed to be so awesome that even the chronically critical can find no flaw in you? Or do hateful people simply seem to enjoy sullying your good name? Both possibilities are asinine things to be advertising, the former being highly improbable and the

latter being highly unfortunate. The only thing I can really be sure of is that anyone sporting such phrases has some dramatic tendencies; why else would you be trying to hype up your supposed notoriety? To prove your maturity? Our society celebrates conflict, which is a natural and healthy part of life — in an unnatural way. Much of the emphasis is on being aggressive, dominant and in the right, but it seems people are ill equipped for reconciliation. The brunt of this phenomenon falls, I fear, on females. Experience has taught me that if you hear a lady say that girls are drama, it’s a pretty sure marker that she’s got some drama up her sleeve. Such girls usually don’t

understand the carnal rules of friendship: trustworthiness, honesty, communication and forgiveness. They explain it away by saying all girls are (rhymes with snitches). Even good friends will clash, but that doesn’t have to mean drama. When a person upsets you, you have the choice to hold onto anger and let it fester inside or to let it go and carry on with your business. Even if the person is indisputably awful, spending hours conjuring up all their worse qualities to yourself and your friends is hardly the path to enlightenment. I have a little mantra that helps me when I feel like someone has exceeded the human limits for debauchery. It goes like this: If I

were God, I would smite you to hell. If I were Nero, I would throw you to the lions. If I were a shark, I’d eat you, limb by limb, a little more every spring break. If I were the president, I would have you deported to a volcanic island. This allows me to acknowledge my annoyance and resolves the issue for me, because though I am enraged, I am not God, I am not a shark, and I am not (yet) the president; I am just human. Therefore my only hope for relief is to forgive and hope that person finds real happiness so they can stop interfering with mine. —Joanna Langston is a senior psychology major and a weekly columnist for The Mirror.

Organizations present reasons for SFAP increases SARA VAN CLEVE news@uncmirror.com

— Alexander Graham Bell Before the Student Senate meeting adjourned for the men’s basketball game Wednesday, three programs seeking funding increases as part of the Student Fee Allocation Process presented their requests. Director of Finance Sean Jiang presided over the SFAP hearings. Senate members heard presentations from the Center for International Education; the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender and Allies Resource Office; and International Film Series. Due to the early adjournment, two programs were not able to present. Student Senate and Greek Life will present during next week’s meeting. Center for International Education seeks funds for

transportation, events Vanja Pejic, the graduate assistant for cross-cultural events, presented on behalf of the CIE. The center requested an increase of about $5,500 in its programming budget provided by SFAP. The CIE budget relies on SFAP, revenue made through students purchasing tickets to events and the CIE International Student Service Fee, which costs $50 for students. SFAP currently provides 26 percent of the budget, which is $4,478. CIE uses its budget to host campus and cross-cultural events so international students can see different parts of Colorado, to provide transportation for international students, and to advertise for events. Pejic said CIE needs more funding from SFAP because the enrollment of interna-

tional students at UNC has tripled to 284 since 2004, and the number of University of Northern Colorado students studying abroad has quadrupled to 280 students in the past seven years. The number of events CIE hosted more than doubled this academic year to 48 from 23 in 2009-10. When Pejic was asked to prioritize the four purposes of the CIE, she said transportation and cross-cultural events are the most important parts of the program. “Students can’t get here without us, but without transportation, we can’t go anywhere,” Pejic said. Transportation includes airport pickups and transportation for shopping trips and events. Pejic said she believes transportation, including a one-time airport pickup for

international students, should be covered completely by SFAP. All CIE events are open to all students. If SFAP funds are allocated to the CIE to cover transportation, the one-time airport pickup will have to be made available to all students, international or domestic. Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender and Allies Resource Office seeks funds to become self-sustaining Student Senate faculty adviser Evan Welch presented on behalf of the GLBTA Resource Office and GLBTA graduate assistant Jael Esquibel, who was not able to attend the meeting. GLBTA requested an increase of $5,332 from SFAP in order to become self-sustainable. The office has relied heavily on other programs and organizations, such as the Women’s Resource Center and the International Film Series to co-host events. In the past, it has hosted more passive events than active ones, and members said they would like for that to change. The GLBTA Resource Office is also the only office on campus that does not have a fulltime staff member. Welch said the fund increase would make it possible for GLBTA to host more events on its own — to host more active events as opposed to passive events, such as a booth at the University Center. This would allow the office to expand its current events, such as See Senate, Page 8

Students to compete in history contest CARRISSA OLSZEWSKI news@uncmirror.com

In order to make beneficial progress for the future, it is important to take a look at events that have occurred throughout history. UNC History Day is an event that allows middle and high school students in the northern Colorado area to dissect certain historical events and learn about their lingering effects. The history day started in 1996 at the University of Northern Colorado after instructor of history Mary Borg attended a similar event in Boulder in 1995.

Save 10-70%

“I was totally enthralled with the excitement high school and middle school students exhibited over history,” Borg said. She came back to UNC and persuaded the chair of the history department to host a regional history day. Borg personally volunteered to organize the event and enlisted the help of other professors and community members. When the first History Day was hosted, about 100 students from schools in the northern Colorado region participated. More than 250 students, on average, partici-

pate annually. They come from Greeley, Fort Collins, Wiggins, Erie, Brighton, Fleming and Windsor. As of 2005, Jennifer Newman, a history instructor at UNC, has been the coordinator of the event. Newman was involved with the event as well before she became the coordinator. “It is a great way for faculty of UNC to interact with young scholars in our own community,” she said. “The program encourages students to think creatively and critically about history.” Each year, there is a different theme, which

students must follow, and this year’s theme is “Debate and Diplomacy in History.” Students are able to enter the program individually, but most students enter because their teacher initiates it in the classroom. Ted Goodwin, a high school history teacher from Erie, said he believes that in the beginning, students often said they were competing because their teachers made them, but that changes as the project progresses. “Having been through weeks of research, revisions and our own school’s ‘Erie History

Night,’ their projects are now something they are really proud of and are excited about sharing and being judged on,” Goodwin said. “As one of my juniors said earlier this morning, ‘I can’t wait to show off our project.’” The top three winners of the event go to participate at the state level in Denver. Then, the top two winners at the state level move on to nationals. The national competition is often hosted in the Washington, D.C. area. This year, it will be at the University of Maryland. The winners at the national levels compete

for scholarships. Also, Newman said United States Congress members and Supreme Court justices have served as judges for the event. Students who won at UNC in 2007-09 advanced to nationals. Local students have created papers, performances, websites and documentaries that were also met with acclaim. UNC History Day will be hosted 8 a.m.–1:30 p.m. March 5 in Ross Hall. The award ceremony will take place between 1:30 p.m.-2 p.m. in Lindou Auditorium in Michener Library.

Men’s basketball secures top spot for tournament PARKER COTTON sports@uncmirror.com

UNC senior guard Devon Beitzel was not going to stand by and be shown up by Sacramento State on senior night. Beitzel, who said he got no sleep the night before because he was so excited, equaled his jersey number and tied his career-high of 32 points to lead the University of Northern Colorado (1910, 13-3) to an 84-54 victory Wednesday at ButlerHancock Sports Pavilion. The win secures the top seed and home-court

advantage in the conference tournament for the Bears. After cutting down the nets after the final buzzer, Beitzel could hardly put it into words what the feeling felt like. “I couldn’t believe it,” he said. “You talk about it, and you’ve worked for it for the last five years, and it’s – I can’t explain it. I really can’t. It’s a game I’ve been playing my entire life, and to finally get the championship, it’s an amazing feeling. I really can’t explain it.” It’s difficult to blame him.UNC finished a stretch of five days that

contained three games, and the Bears earned their first regular season championship since 1989 when the team was a member of the Division II North Central Conference. Head coach B.J. Hill capped off his first regular season as head coach with a convincing victory over a struggling Hornets team and the first Big Sky regular season championship since UNC joined the league in 2006. “It can’t happen to a better guy,” senior forward Neal Kingman said. “He came and took the reins, and we didn’t skip a step. He never let us make excuses. No matter what the circumstance was, whether it was losing a coach or losing whoever’s not playing this year or the injuries we had or anything like that, he just said we’re a good team regardless of who we have on the floor. He works harder than anybody. All the credit to him, no doubt.” Kingman, who was born in Greeley and attended Greeley West High School, finished with six points and eight rebounds. The Hornets scored the first points of the game, but Beitzel scored eight in a row, and UNC never looked back. The Bears led by as many as 15 points in the first stanza and took a 39-24 lead into halftime. UNC never slowed

down as it increased its lead to 35 at one point late in the second half. The Bears held Sacramento State to 32 percent shooting for the game and outscored the Hornets, 20-0, in fast break points: most notably sophomore guard Elliott Lloyd’s drive into the lane, followed by a fake pass to Beitzel on the left wing and a scoop layup with 3:24 remaining in the first half. “I thought our defense was very disciplined,” Hill said. “I know Sac State didn’t shoot the ball well, but we had a lot to do with that. They had trouble penetrating our defense, and so they had to shoot a lot of bad threes. And that’s a credit to our guys.” Much like Beitzel, UNC senior forward Chris Kaba, who finished with eight points, was overflowing with emotion. “This is a dream-cometrue, storybook moment,” Kaba said. “We get to cut down the nets in our gym in our first Big Sky championship ever. Now we get to host the tournament here and everything. So, I’m just happy to be here. I am glad to be a part of this team.” The Bears will not find out which team they play in the semifinals until Saturday. UNC senior forward Taylor Montgomery, who finished with four points and eight
