Speaker gives presentation on Rwandan genocide SARA VAN CLEVE news@uncmirror.com When many Americans think of the popular headlines in 1994, they probably think of O.J. Simpson sending police on a chase down a Los Angeles freeway, or figure skater Tonya Harding hiring a hit man to break Nancy Kerrigan’s legs. Few Americans probably think of the 800,000
Rwandans killed in genocide between April and June 1994. The country was focused on what could be called trivial news as Tutsis half a world away were being killed by their Hutu neighbors. During his presentation “When Never Again Becomes Ever Again: Breaking the Pattern of Genocide” Thursday in the University Center at UNC, Peter Fredlake, the director of

national outreach for teacher initiatives for the National Institute for Holocaust Education at the United States. Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C., told the story of Rwandan genocide and how both it and the Holocaust can help people prevent anything like it from happening in the future. In April 1994, the Rwandan president’s plane was shot down shortly after takeoff, and the Tutsi, one of the two major racial groups in the country, were blamed and every Tutsi suddenly became a victim, Fredlake said. Once the killings began, Americans were told to leave the country and the interna-
tional community turned its back on the nation and the Tutsi people, he said. The shooting plane was a catalyst for genocide, but it was not the cause. Fredlake said conflict between the Hutus and Tutsis began at the end of the 19th century. “Genocide isn’t a thing that just happens,” Fredlake said. “It takes place in a historical context and decisions have consequences.” Fredlake discussed how the warning signs and patterns of genocide, how others respond and survivors’ legacies, can stop future atrocities. Several signs have become patterns of genocide, Fredlake said, including an
entrenched ruling elite with genocidal ideology, scapegoating and preparations. Just as Jews were required to wear a yellow Star of David during Adolf Hitler’s reign in the 1930s and ‘40s, the Tutsi were required to carry around an identification card that stated their ethnicity. If they found themselves stopped at one of the many roadblocks set up by Hutus, they were often killed on the spot. Fredlake said the Rwandan government greatly admired Joseph Goebbels, the Reich Minister of Propaganda under Hitler, and used the propaganda machine to rewrite their history and promoted the idea of keeping the race pure.
Although atrocities were performed, the reactions of the people at that time and now are important in recovering and preventing any future violence. Fredlake told the story of Carl Wilkens, his personal friend and a missionary who was in Rwanda with his wife and three kids, and Damas Gasimba, the second-generation owner of an orphanage with more than 300 children. Wilkens, the only American to stay in the country, sent his family to Tanzania and helped Gasimba defend the orphanage when Hutu soldiers came looking for Tutsi children and workers. The orphanage is still around today, and one of the young men who lived there as a child during the genocide is now studying to become a lawyer. Fredlake said the young man knows he could become extremely wealthy through being a general lawyer, but instead of pursuing a degree for the money, he opted to use his degree to help women and children and work to prevent the things he saw from ever happening again. This young man’s decision to protect others after the atrocities he saw is just one of the many legacies left behind after the genocide. “Two men made a series of decisions and created a legacy,” Fredlake said. After the genocide, the Hutu and Tutsi went back to living side by side, and the trials for the Hutu men who served as killers See Never Again, Page 7

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.
About us The Mirror is published every Monday, Wednesday and Friday during the academic year by the Student Media Corp. It is printed by the Greeley Tribune. The first copy is free; additional copies are 50 cents each and must be purchased from The Mirror office.
Obama will be tough out for Romney in November As the race for the Republican nomination begins to come to a close, it seems that Mitt Romney will be the candidate facing off against President Barack Obama in November. Rick Santorum’s inability to catch Romney shows, in politics, the candidate with the most money almost always wins. When Santorum visited Greeley in February, he made remarks toward Romney’s seemingly endless cash flow. More specifically, he said, “yes, Governor Romney has the most money in the primary, but he will not in the general (election).”
He continued by saying, “ideas, principle, trust; that is the currency that will win the election in the fall.” But on April 10, Santorum announced he would be suspending his campaign for The White House. When Santorum told the UNC crowd that “ideas, principle, trust” was the currency that will win the GOP nomination, he was mistaken. However, he was right when he said that Romney will not have the most money in the general election. As Romney and his most generous political action committee,
Restore Our Future, now take aim at Obama, they enter into an arena where they don’t hold the money advantage. He must face Obama’s campaign fundraising with the help of his political action committee, Priorities USA Action.Romney is already at a disadvantage because he has been in full campaign mode and consistently spending money since Jan 3. According to the website Opensecrets.org, Romney has raised $74 million and spent $67 million trying to attain the Republican nomination while
President Obama has raised a daunting $157 million and spent only $75 million. If Romney doesn’t receive some financial aid from those generous donors who have made it all but certain his name will appear on the ballot come Nov. 6, it may be very difficult for him to defeat the incumbent. If Santorum’s unsuccessful campaign for the Republican nomination is attributed to the fact he could not match Romney financially, what does that tell us about the likelihood Romney will defeat Obama?

Marijuana legalization fully ripe for unneeded slippery slope Josh DIVINE
editor@uncmirror.com
T
he Campaign to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol obtained enough signatures to place a proposed amendment on this year’s ballot to legalize marijuana for regulated recreational use. Similar legislation failed in Colorado in 2006 and in California in 2010. Another organization, Legalize 2012, is seeking to put another initiative on the ballot for unlimited recreational use. The pro-marijuana agenda has followed the proven method of incremental legislation whereby a person or organization slowly changes public opinion through the legal system. An excellent example
of successful use of this is Thurgood Marshall, who convinced the Supreme Court in 1948 to ban discriminatory housing against blacks by private parties, warming up the cultural environment to successfully win Brown v. Board of Education. The pro-marijuana agenda first pressed for medical marijuana. Now, the ubiquitous nature of medical marijuana has opened people up to the idea of recreational use. I must commend them on their tactics; however, the agenda has brought us on a path that has the potential to lead to a slippery slope. At its core, government exists to take away our liberties, to protect the populous at the expense of individual freedoms. As a conservative, I am naturally in favor of strong limits on the powers government has over us. Even with this in consideration,
I strongly oppose the move to legalize marijuana. It is demonstrable that when the ban on an activity is lifted, the number of occurrences and participants of said activity increases dramatically. According to the National Institute of Health, marijuana has myriad debilitating effects. Apart from containing carcinogens and increasing risk of heart attack 4.8fold, frequent use of marijuana can place people in constant states of decreased intellectual capacity and inhibited perceptions because the effect of marijuana on cognitive functions can persist for days or even weeks after the most noticeable side-effects diminish. We must ask ourselves whether we’re willing to take actions that will almost definitely skyrocket the use of marijuana, especially at a time when we’re already falling behind in education and work pro-
ductivity compared to other nations. But legalizing marijuana also has the potential to set a dangerous precedent. Already, the legality of alcohol is used as an argument for legalizing marijuana. If marijuana is legalized, it too may be used to incrementally legalize more dangerous drugs. Once society grants one thing, it is not too far off to grant legality to something slightly more damaging or controversial, which can then be used to advocate for the legalization of still something worse. Though this slippery slope is certainly not guaranteed, the legalization of marijuana would open the door to this possibility, but keeping marijuana illegal shuts the door firmly. — Josh Divine is a senior mathematics major and a weekly columnist for The Mirror.

Luau celebrates Hawaiian culture SAVANNAH MCCULLY news@uncmirror.com Although the UNC campus is more than 3,000 miles away from the Hawaiian Islands, members of the Ha’aheo ‘O Hawaii Club on Saturday transformed the University Center Grand Ballrooms into a festive luau celebration. A luau is a traditional Hawaiian celebration that marks special events such as birthdays, graduations or to welcome visitors. Hawaiians have considered the rituals and foods prepared at luaus to be symbolic. For instance, the food served at dinner could represent virtues such as strength or courage.
The ballrooms filled with friends and food while attendees were treated to a special Hawaiian dance presentation that celebrated the history and culture of Hawaii. The night also followed a theme, incorporating the hit television series “Hawaii Five0,” which first premiered in 1968 and ended in 1980 but was recently re-imagined in 2010. Guests were treated to a traditional luau dinner menu with entrées including roasted pork, chicken, long rice and a coconut pudding dessert. After dinner, the Halau Hula ‘o Ha’aheo performances began, in which 13 different traditional dances were performed. Many of the dances were exclusively male or female until the final couple performances and the finale. More than 20 dancers took the stage to bring the art of Hawaiian lu

This year marked the 21st annual Hawaiian luau at the University of Northern Colorado, in which the committee and club members are devoted to sharing the culture of Hawaii with the community. “The luau is put on to present Hawaiian culture and to share the customs with the community,” said Shawn
Saito, a chairperson of the luau committee. There are two organizations on campus that celebrate the customs of the Hawaiian lifestyle. The Ha’aheo ‘O Hawai’I Club teaches students and the community about Hawaiian culture, while the Halau Hula ‘O Ha’aeho club teaches traditional as well as contemporary Hawaiian dances.

Forum analyzes negative stereotypes TESSA BYRNS news@uncmirror.com
Holocaust Remembrance Week continued Sunday as the College Of Education and Behavioral Sciences and the College of Humanities and Social Sciences hosted a presentation on the social, economic and intellectual roots of Nazi Anti-Semitism. Peter Black, a senior historian from the Center of Advanced Holocaust Studies at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, gave the presentation in the Centennial Room of Brown Hall. Black also worked for the U.S Department of Justice Office of Special Investigations as part of a team tracking and prosecuting suspected war criminals. The session analyzed how negative stereotypes toward Jews, rooted partly in theological interaction between Christianity and Judaism, developed from the Middle Ages as a result of legal, economic and social regulations that determined how Jews and non-Jews lived together in Europe during the early modern era. It followed the impact of emancipation on interactions between Jews and non-Jews, and how racist social Darwinism of the late 19th century gave birth to “voelkisch� nationalism, a racist view of German history. Black described throughout his presentation that there are five general types of anti-Semitism: Christian, legal/economic, job competition, racial and Jewish Bolshevik conspiracy antiSemitism.
“I definitely know why people say the things they say about Jewish people now,� said Sylvia Stone, a freshman English major. “I never knew that people back then thought the Jewish were into money because those were the only jobs that they could get; the jobs that made them handle money.� Black explained that Christian anti-Semitism
I’m so glad I went to this presentation. Now I can tell those people why those stereotypes came into being and then maybe they won’t do it anymore.

was first introduced after Christ’s crucifixion. Before then, Christians and Jews lived in harmony. Both were influenced by and interested in one another’s doctrines. “We see that this starts to change after the first millennium,� Black said. “Before Judaism, Christianity was the dominant religion and Christians felt that their religion was under threat — it was an existential threat.� Once Jews gained emancipation, they were able to own land and finally allowed to work jobs they normally didn’t have. When new job offers started rolling in, there came job competition. “Many Christian leaders thought that Jewish people had 1,000 years to try to see the light, and so people thought Jews could be blamed for the Black Death and other things
that plagued life for other people because they were believed to be evil,� Black said. Racial anti-Semitism goes into social Darwinism and how the Jews fit in. Many people after Charles Darwin’s book came out thought Jewish people were a part of the white people plight, but it later turned out they were not regarded as white people. Students also found the whole experience uplifting because they learned how to counteract stereotypes they hear because they learned about how they were incorrectly created. “I’m so glad I went to this presentation,� said Elyse Flores, a freshman elementary education major. “Now I can tell those people why those stereotypes came into being and then maybe they won’t do it anymore.�

Bears end with mercy rule in series sweep of NYIT at home MICHAEL NOWELS sports@uncmirror.com
The UNC baseball team earned a four-game sweep against the New York Institute of
Technology this weekend, with three games ending due to mercy rules. The University of Northern Colorado (1417. 5-3 Great West Conference) took the first

two games Friday, by blowout scores of 15-2 and 10-0, both in seven innings. Saturday’s first game was closer and was the only game the Bears didn’t win with the mercy rule, 14-8. UNC won the final game handily by a 13-1 score. UNC freshman left fielder Jensen Park went 3-for-4 in each of the first three games of the series and 9-for-15 overall. He drove in three runs with his bat and crossed the plate seven times throughout the weekend. Park said he stays loose at the plate because he knows his teammates are
there to back him up. “When I’m up there, it takes a pressure off to know I’ve got the rest of my lineup that’s going to be there, putting up the numbers too,” Park said. UNC owned the weekend, outscoring NYIT (224, 0-7) 52-11 between the four games. Pitching was key in the success of the weekend, evidenced by senior southpaw Joe Willman throwing a seven-inning complete game in the final contest, allowing just one run on four hits. “It’s really good confidence for me to do something like that, just to
close out the series for our team like that, it feels good,” Willman said. Willman used his defense a fair amount on Saturday, only striking out four batters but only walked one. He said he likes to pitch to contact to help keep the rhythm of the game moving. “I like to move quick, obviously,” Willman said. “(Second baseman Ryan) Yamane and (shortstop Adam) Hilker up the middle are pretty dang solid, and I definitely love to get them some ground balls and make plays for me and get us back in the dugout and let the offense work.”
UNC played quite a bit of small ball during the weekend, with three sacrifice fly-outs and three sacrifice bunts, in addition to numerous drag bunts. “We have to play our brand of baseball,” head coach Carl Iwasaki said. “All we can do is play hard, put the ball in play, try to beat it out. So be it if they make errors or plus plays.” The Bears return to the diamond Tuesday in Manhattan, Kan., when they take on Kansas State University (17-18, 3-9 Big 12) for the first of a twogame series.
Football’s linebacking unit begins to take shape MICHAEL NOWELS sports@uncmirror.com
The linebacking corps at UNC was a strong point a n d bright s p o t for last s e a Football son’s 0-11 football team. There will be a few new faces among the linebackers next season, but that doesn’t change expectations for the University of Northern Colorado. For those returning, having a year under their belts in this defensive scheme should prove helpful. Linebacker coach
Derrick Davison said he thinks his group is learning to communicate better. “I feel the guys have more confidence in what they are seeing as far as communicating with one another because communication is 90 percent of it,” Davison said. After leading the team with 145 tackles and earning Second Team All-Big Sky honors, junior Clarence Bumpas said he didn’t have much of an offseason because of the amount of work he has put in after the closing of last season. “We’re basically just trying to build on the
small things that we didn’t do last year, which could have won us the games that we lost by two or the games we got blown out,” Bumpas said. One starter from last year, junior Gavin Miller, moved to defensive end, leaving one open spot alongside Bumpas and senior Cameron Friend. One player vying for the opening on the field come fall is senior Herve Tonye. Tonye transferred from Alcorn State, with his brother Raymond, a junior running back, to continue playing for head coach Earnest Collins Jr. Tonye, a Montreal native, said he thinks his best
attribute is his physical nature. “I believe that I am pretty physical,” Tonye said. “That’s one of my strongest aspects. Also, I try to understand not only my position, but every other position, as well.” Collins said he feels the three most important parts of playing linebacker are physicality, smarts and instincts, and those are what he is looking for in spring practices. “Those three things make a good linebacker because a linebacker has to go from playing the run game to the pass game off of what happens in the backfield,” Collins said.
SPENCER DUNCAN | THE MIRROR
Senior linebacker Cameron Friend, 51, look to make a play in practice on April 5. Friend led the team with three interceptions for 22 yards last season. Collins and Davison both mentioned junior Dominick Sierra as a player that has impressed this spring. Collins also said he expects sopho-
more Leilon Willingham, a transfer from Central Florida, to play in the competition during fall camp when he returns from a hand injury.

genocide but left the presentation affected in her own way. “I feel like I can do something,” Townsend said. “Instead of standing on the sidelines, I can get involved in this. I’m also sad. It was a lot of information that was really sad; I thought I was going to cry a couple times. But was great information. It was noth-
ing like I expected it.” Jackie Moody, an English and German major, said Fredlake helped her make connections she never realized before. “I thought it was a really good eye-opening experience,” Moody said. “There were a lot of things about the Rwandan genocide and the Holocaust that I didn’t really put together, like the
warning signs he was talking about. I think just for basic overview for students and stuff, it was a real eyeopening experience.” Fredlake’s presentation was the first in a week-long series of events remembering the Holocaust.

Colorado Youth Works is dedicated to helping enrich the lives of Weld County youth and will be hosting an event for UNC and the Greeley community to continue to do just that. ‘It’s For Kids’ will take place from 5-9 p.m. today in the University Center Ballrooms. The fundraiser is open to the public and will feature a silent auction, live music and free food. The concert will be hosted with the help of UNC Radio and feature Dan Barton and Danny Tramel. The event has been
accepting donations from local businesses for the silent auction portion of the evening. “The Greeley community has been very generous and many places have provided us with auction items including a Kindle Fire, food gift certificates, barber and beauty shops gift certificates,” said Sara Pena, the executive director of Colorado Youth Works. Several local automobile shops have donated tools and gift certificates for free oil changes. Other donations include movie tickets, a handmade quilt and several baskets filled with assorted items, Pena said.
“Colorado Youth Works is a program dedicated to the improvement and enhancement of young peoples’ lives,” Pena said. “The purpose of our organization is to help youth through leisure time and diverse activities to develop their physical, mental and emotional capacities in order to grow toward full maturity as individuals and members of society.” The program supports local youth through after school activities, mentoring and tutoring. It meets every week on Wednesday at UNC and with after school activities such as homework help and various games, Pena said. “We are always looking
for motivated and caring individuals to join us in facilitating after school activities for the youth that we work with,” she said. The overall goal of the non-profit organization is to develop a presence in the community and to better serve the children of Weld County. Students are encouraged to get involved with the club and can volunteer at any of the fundraisers. “This is a wonderful organization aimed to improve the lives of youth and we are searching for people to help us accomplish this goal,” Pena said.
