Competition bring history to life SAVANNAH MCCULLY news@uncmirror.com About 200 high school and middle school students from northeastern Colorado gathered in Ross Hall Saturday for the National History Day Regional Competition. Displays ranged from the history of the radio to the feminist movement, and students covered all aspects of history, from current events to ancient times. National History Day was designed to enhance the teaching of history for sixth – 12th grade students. “The goal of the event is to celebrate history as a discipline where students can be

actively engaged in what they are learning,” said Cyrus Fernandez, a UNC graduate student and competition judge. The participating students are part of a yearlong education program in which they must research a historic topic of their choice that relates to the designated theme. Students were required to present their findings through dramatic performances, imaginative exhibits, multimedia documentaries, interactive web sites or research papers. This year’s theme was “Revolution, Reaction, Reform in History,” and the presentations reflected the

theme. Students chose topics such as the Civil Rights Movement, the British Invasion, the Columbine Massacre and even the Harry Potter phenomenon. There were also performances that were open to the public, such as “Revolutionaries in Bloomers: Women Working for Suffrage, ” while other students chose to present documentaries or create websites. Presenters were in the first step of the National History Day competition and the winners from each category advance to the state competition. If they win the state competition, they will be eligible to compete nationally. The event brought together middle and high school

students as well as secondary educators, college students and college professors. Many UNC graduate students and faculty were judges at the event; other judges came from other institutions in northern Colorado, including Colorado State University and local high schools. The goal of National History Day is to enhance the teaching and learning of history for students, but also to bring together secondary students, college students and professional faculty to work together to promote the importance of history and to help students build critical thinking, problem solving and research skills.

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.

Women in motorsports need more positive mode than Patrick It is a well-known fact that women are a minority in motorsports, and it could be argued that any woman who brings attention to the fact that women race would be a good face for the females in the sport. Unfortunately, this isn’t the case. Danica Patrick is one of the most famous female racers on any circuit, mainly because she is racing in one of the most popular motorsports in America, NASCAR. However, just because she is the most popular doesn’t

mean she is the most talented and should be the face of femininity in the racing world. Since she started her professional racing career in 2005, she has only won one race, and that was nearly four years ago in the IZOD Indycar Series. Patrick is better known for being in numerous suggestive GoDaddy commercials and posing in lingerie and bikinis on classic cars than she is known for her success on the track. While Patrick may attract

male fans of the sport, she does nothing for women in motorsports besides further objectify them. In no way should she be a role model for young female racing fans, which is one of the ways to get more women involved in the sport. Plenty of women win races, and they should be the ones making the sports recaps on the news. Take for example Ashley Force, who has won nine national events since taking the

wheel in 2004. In 2011, she took a break from her racing career to start a family and was named president of John Force Entertainment. Since she began her career at 21, the most provocative outfit she has worn for a photo shoot is a tank top and jeans, but she is usually fully covered in a firesuit. For women to be taken seriously in sports, they must have a strong, positive representative who can actually win. Patrick is none of the above.

Suicide among young contagious, MPAA R rating for ‘Bully’ appropriate Josh DIVINE

editor@uncmirror.com

ecently, high school student Katy Butler began a plea on Change.org for the Motion Picture Association of America to reverse their R-rated ruling on the upcoming documentary “Bully,” scheduled for release March 30, and instead grant the film a PG-13 rating. The premise of “Bully” is selfexplanatory. The MPAA recently rated the picture R due to pervasive violent language and dark themes and denied an appeal by the Weinstein Company, the film’s domestic distributor. Butler asserts that the R rating will prevent “Bully” from being viewed by its intended audience.

While her intentions are noble and “Bully” is sure to be an enlightening film (although the distributors are being dishonest by advertising the film as “not yet rated”), the MPAA’s R rating is appropriate. Having a good message does not necessitate changing a rating. R ratings are based on whether the following exists, according to the MPAA: “Adult themes, adult activity, hard language, intense or persistent violence, sexually-oriented nudity, drug abuse or other elements.” That’s the standard that MPAA-rated films are judged on. Standards shouldn’t be changed just because we wish to reach a different audience. That degrades the purpose of defined standards. In addition, “Bully,” while containing good themes, could actually be damaging to some who view it because of its inclusion of suicide.

Suicide and bullying have been linked in the media, and when several gay people committed suicide in the fall of 2010 allegedly due to bullying, numerous organizations sprang up to combat bullying. Recently, however, organizations are confessing that media hype and portrayal of suicide are deeply damaging and may actually encourage young people to commit suicide. David McFarland, executive director and CEO of the Trevor Project, a suicide-prevention organization, has stated that showcasing the suicides of victims of bullying “has also increased suicide risk.” McFarland said media portrayal of suicide “can influence someone who is at-risk to assume that taking your own life is what you’re supposed to do next if you are LGBT or bullied.” In other words, the attention

that people receive from suicide may be something that others are seeking. With this in mind, allowing unfettered access to the movie “Bully,” which deals with the extremely dark theme of suicide, could have a tremendously negative effect on many people. Dr. Nicholas Christakis in his book “Connected” points to research that shows that young people are most vulnerable to the contagious effects of suicide. The R rating regulates the viewership of many of these young people and gives parents the responsibility of deciding whether their children are able to handle “Bully,” minimizing the number of people who could be harmed by the contagious aspect of suicide from viewing the material. — Josh Divine is a senior mathematics major and a weekly columnist for The Mirror.

‘Day of Dance’ helps keep community ‘heart healthy’ ASHLEY REITZ news@uncmirror.com

Every 34 seconds, a person in the United States dies of heart disease. Most of these people acquired the disease from preventable causes, such as lack of exercise and diet. Since 1900, heart disease was the United States’ leading cause of death each year, except in 1918 when it was cardio vascular disease, according to

the Northern Colorado Medical Center. What if these individuals changed just one thing about their lifestyle and were able to live longer with a healthier heart? The NCMC Spirit of Women program hosted the “Day of Dance” Saturday at the Greeley Family Funplex to help promote healthy lifestyles through exercise and dance, and several UNC teams showed off their

moves to promote health. Dancing is known for its strenuous movements and skillful technique. It’s a common myth that you have to study dance to be a dancer. It’s not a common workout method for the general public, but once it’s attempted, it can be more fun for some people than running on a treadmill. The purpose of the annual “Day of Dance” is not only to promote dancing in Greeley, but also to inform individuals about the importance of heart health and physical activity. Hundreds of locals attended the event, coming to check out the fun and leaving with more knowledge about their bodies and most likely still sweating from participating in Zumba. For the past three years, the NCMC Spirit of Women program has hosted the “Day of Dance.” The event gives community members the opportunity to watch dance performances, participate in activities and learn about the importance of fitness for heart health. Dancing is promoted at the event as a fun

way to workout, lose weight and make the heart healthy. “It’s free for all members of the community,” said Kris Howard, the manager for Family Life Education and Spirit of Women. “It’s a great day of fun.” Red, black and gold balloons filled the Funplex gymnasium as health experts were on hand to answer questions. The tables were set up for people to “Ask the Docs” about issues regarding OB/GYN, pediatrics, family medicine, internal medicine, sports medicine and orthopedics. This was an opportunity for performers and spectators to walk around and find ways the body is affected by poor health and how dancing and physical activity can help get one’s health on the right track. Along with help from experts, appearances from University of Northern Colorado sports teams helped get the crowd involved and proved that even athletes can have fun dancing. “It’s about keeping your heart healthy,” said Elaine Kercher, a volunteer for Spirit of Women. Not only was the event’s

The Colorado Dance Collective, The Conservatory, UNC Dance Alliance and Dance Fusion were just a few groups that performed during the event. A particular performance by the Dancin’ Divas provided the audience with proof that dancing is possible no matter the age. The Divas are a tap dancing group of women older than 40. The performances showed how much fun danc-

ing can be, no matter the size, age or skill level. Along with performances from Greeley dance groups, there were also different showcases, like Zumba Fitness, line dancing and “Moving Mantra” yoga, in which audience members were able to come to the stage and participate for a quick workout. Dance instructors who attended admitted to loving the event because it brings all different northern Colorado dance styles together. As long as one person who attended the event becomes motivated enough to improve their hearts’ health, the event is considered a success, said organizers.

Illuminerdy gathers gamers to support children’s charity STEPHANIE RICH news@uncmirror.com For a 24-hour span, Lindou Auditorium was filled with Illuminerdy members and UNC gamers dedicated to raising money for Child’s Play, a charity that provides toys and video games for children’s hospitals around the world. Child’s Play is a charity

Children’s hospitals around the country have Amazon wish lists of different video games or consoles that are fulfilled by Child’s Play. The children’s hospitals

aim to keep a child’s mind off their disease through different entertainment media. Students brought their own TVs and consoles to play the video games of their choice. Consoles ranged from handhelds to Wiis, Xbox 360s and Playstation 3s to older systems like Super Nintendo Entertainment System and computers. “I had a lot of fun and I feel like we’re doing a good thing,” said Matt Hall, a junior English major. About 15 people attended the gaming fundraiser, but between the fundraiser and the online donations, the club has raised $725 so far. “I’m not really a gamer but I came here to support,” said Estrella Romero, a sophomore theater studies major. “I’ve been here the full 24 hours.” One of the members even

reached out to local businesses to donate food for the gamers so they wouldn’t go hungry during the long gaming session. The Illuminerdy, a “nerd” club at the University of Northern Colorado, was thought up in a joking way. Clark Lamson, Illuminerdy co-founder, was hosting a Magic card game night in Turner Hall when his brother suggested they create a “nerd” club. Lamson initially shrugged the idea off but a few days later decided, with a couple of friends, that it would be a good idea after all. With the help of James Keaton, a professor of communication studies, the Illuminerdy was formed. “We’re normally smaller scale, but this semester we wanted to do something big,” said Lamson, a senior communication studies major.

It was no more than a place to talk about nerdy things and play video games. But lately, they’ve been trying to work on the club’s core values and start giving back to the community. Originally, the club wanted to support an organization that helps kids struggling with bullying in their schools, but couldn’t find a charity that felt right. That’s when club member Heather Winzent brought the idea of Child’s Play to the table. Lamson said he and the

other club members wanted to do something now rather than wait until the perfect charity came along. Lamson said the club worked hard to spread the word about the fundraiser. They asked their professors to mention it in classes, asked nursing students for help, put up signs, utilized UNC Student Radio and got in touch with online sources, such as video bloggers in the “nerd” community. They also set up an account on Fundly so people outside of the UNC community could donate. People interested in donating can visit www.fundly.com/theilluminerdy. No account is required to donate.

Bears earn No. 2 seed after senior night win PARKER COTTON sports@uncmirror.com

The members of the UNC women’s basketball program said all last week they needed to be the hot team at the right time heading into the conference tournament. Now winners of five straight after defeating Portland State at home Saturday, that’s exactly what they are. On a night meant to honor the seniors, the University of Northern Colorado (19-10, 11-5 Big Sky) got an entire team effort in a 65-50 victory at ButlerHancock Sports Pavilion, a win that gives UNC the No. 2 seed in the Big Sky Conference Championship tournament, which starts Thursday in Pocatello, Idaho on the campus of Idaho State University. The Bears now have the longest win streak heading into the tournament, thanks in large part to having four players score in double fig-

ures, led by junior forward Lauren Oosdyke with 18 points. “I felt we played together as a team really, really well,” Oosdyke said. “We were having a lot of fun, everyone had a positive attitude, we had a great crowd, everyone was doing well. We had a lot of fun. We did it for our seniors.” The seniors, forward Kaisha Brown and guard Amy Marin, playing in the final home game of their careers, started together in the same game for the first time this season. Sophomore guard D’shara Strange, the regular starting point guard, went to head coach Jaime White prior to the game and asked that Marin start in her place. “That just shows what type of team we are, that we all love each other,” Brown said. “We’re each other’s best friends, and I have so much respect for her for doing that.” Brown scored 10 points and Marin went scoreless but grabbed four rebounds and had three assists. Strange

scored 16 points in her first game of the season coming off the bench and sophomore forward Kim Lockridge added 10 points and eight rebounds. Brown missed her first couple shots but got on the board with a 3-pointer five minutes into the game. “I wasn’t too nervous, I just didn’t have any shots falling, but that didn’t matter and we came out and played great team defense and played a great team game all around and it ended the way we needed it to,” Brown said. Oosdyke scored nine of UNC’s first 14 points as the Bears opened up a 10point lead in the first seven minutes. Oosdyke scored 12 in the half, and UNC had a 32-20 advantage at halftime. The Bears held the Vikings to 25.8 percent shooting in the first 20 minutes. “The first half was excellent,” White said. “I thought we did a great job of taking care of and distributing the ball.”

The Bears extended their lead to as many as 19 in the second half, continuing their hot streak and cruising to the No. 2 seed, eliminating Portland State from tournament contention in the process. “I think we’ve peaked at the right time so far,” Oosdyke said. “We’ve had some games, we’ve had some setbacks, but overall we’re getting more and more solid every game.” UNC now has to wait until Thursday night to learn which team it plays. The 3-6 seeds play in the quarterfinals Thursday, and the Bears play the highest remaining seed at 5 p.m. Friday while topseeded Idaho State plays the lowest remaining seed at 7:30 p.m. The winners of the semifinal games then play at 7:30 p.m. Saturday to determine which team receives the Big Sky’s automatic berth into the NCAA Tournament. “Getting a bye is huge

Brown said the uncer-

tainty of opponent at this point won’t change how the team prepares before it departs for the tournament. “I think it’s just preparing like we do for every other game: work on ourselves at the beginning of the week and toward the end of the week start preparing for whoever we’re going to play,” she said.

Men’s track Junior sprinter Evan Taylor fell short in his bid to earn a berth in the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships in the 200meters Saturday in Ames, Iowa. Taylor, who broke his own school-record of 21.41 seconds in the 200 on Feb. 25 with a time of 21.16 seconds,

finished fifth Saturday with a time of 21.56 seconds. Women’s golf The UNC women’s golf team finished in ninth place at the Red Rocks Invitational in Sedona, Ariz., held on Saturday and Sunday. The Bears shot a 324 (+36) as a team Saturday and was tied for ninth in the 20-team field with fellow Big Sky member Montana State. The Bears carded a 321 (+33) on Sunday to finish 69-over-par

for the tournament. UNC junior Carleigh Silvers sat in fourth place at the end of Saturday after shooting a 75 (+3) and finished in a four-way tie for 14th place and at 10-over-par for the tournament. UNC senior Ali Nelson finished +17 for 37th place, while junior Hannah McNeley and senior Chelsea Silvers, Carleigh’s sister, finished in a tie for 58th after both ended the event 21over-par. UNC’s only other

competitor, freshman Jocelyn Thompson, finished 37-overpar for the tournament and tied for 106th place. Women’s tennis The UNC women’s tennis team (3-5, 3-1 Big Sky) picked up road wins against Big Sky foes, beating Idaho State Saturday in and Weber State Sunday in, both by 5-2 scores. The Bears’ No. 1 doubles team of sophomores Stephanie Caitlin and Elizabeth Tapia, No. 2 team of

senior Jennifer Whateley and junior Adriana Nieto and No. 3 team of junior Jennifer Buchanan and freshman Chrissie Hoolahan swept all six doubles matches in the two days. In singles competition, Tapia, Caitlin and Hoolahan all won their matches against Idaho State and Weber State. Men’s tennis The UNC men’s team (25, 1-4 Big Sky) fell 5-2 to Idaho State on Saturday and suf-

fered a sweep Sunday at Weber State. UNC’s No. 1 doubles team of freshman Ben Gendron and junior Brandon Lupo earned an 8-6 victory against ISU, but the No. 2 and 3 pairings both lost. UNC’s two points in the match came from Lupo and Gendron’s wins in singles competition. The Bears lost all three doubles matches and all six singles matches to take a 7-0 loss to Weber State the next day.

have to meet certain criteria to receive recognition as an Honors graduate. Students are expected to take a seminar and research class and attend a minimum amount of events in four areas: Honors events, cultural events, civic engagement and academic enrichment. In the final two years of Honors study, students begin work on their thesis project. Students propose their thesis during their junior year and conduct the research and write their findings during their senior year. Students’ research is also published in the Undergraduate Research Journal. These requirements help students enrich and expand their education outside of the classroom. “The program is a great way to get involved in the school and give back to the community,” said Danielle Bloyer, a freshman education major and a current Honors student. Current UNC students must have at least a 3.25 GPA to be admitted and must also submit an official application, a letter of introduction, two letters or recommendation and official transcripts. For future UNC students, the same requirements are needed except the minimum GPA must be 3.5.
