Initiating discussion essential to overcome suicide BENJAMIN WELCH editor@uncmirror.com
Due to events that have transpired during the last five months, now more than ever counseling professionals at UNC and in Greeley want students to be aware of resources available to those considering suicide and their peers.
Keith Wawrzyniak, the project coordinator in Weld county for Project Safety Net for the Colorado Office of Suicide Prevention, says unique risks of suicide are associated with college students. “The academic issues, the relationships issues, socialization and drinking and partying, but I think a compilation
Available resources to students considering suicide • National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 1-800-273-TALK • National Hopeline Network: 1-800-SUICIDE • UNC Counseling Center: 970-351-2496 • UNC Psychological Services Clinic: 970-351-1645 • North Colorado Medical Center: 970-352-4121 • For an emergency, call 911 or the UNC Police Department at 970-351-2245
of all the above is when it hits,” Wawizyniak said. “College is entering a new world, and all those things eventually hit you and you have to deal with them. I don’t know if there are any preparations a student can make before coming to college, but preparation once you get there is to know what resources you have for support … and being able to ask for help.” According to the American Association of Suicidology, people between the ages of 15-24 in Colorado commit suicide at an 18.4 percent rate per 100,000 population — the seventh highest in the United States in 2009. The Office of Suicide Prevention noted that in
Colorado in 2010-11, suicide was the second-leading cause of death for young people. “To me, that shows that not only can we all be at risk at some point depending on circumstances, but at some point we will all be in contact with someone at risk: friends, family, neighbors or strangers,” said Karyn Poole, a fourth-year Ph.D. student in psychology. Poole advised students to avoid the bystander effect and take an active role in helping a friend who may be depressed or considering suicide. Wawrzyniak says that five percent of the population thinks about suicide at some point in their lives, and that rate is higher for college and high-school students. “There’s a stigma with mental health issues and suicidal ideation that people hesitate, and society doesn’t accept talking about suicide or isn’t comfortable with the topic,” Wawrzyniak said. That social taboo is a major issue in suicide prevention techniques today, and overcoming it is the first step in decreasing the rate nationwide, says Renee Gilkey, a staff psychologist at the Counseling Center at the University of Northern Colorado. “Here at UNC, we’ve lost students recently, so (suicide) is taboo and people have a difficult time talking about it,” Gilkey said. “But if we can get people talking about it, we can realize at some point in our lives, we’ve all felt overwhelmed or that there’s no way out. But by being able to say that it’s a real thing and recognizing that life is some-
times overwhelming, we can help people feel more comfortable talking about suicide.” Wawrzyniak agrees, and says that initiating conversation is the best way a student can help his or her friends find help and stop considering suicide. “The biggest issue is that students are afraid to ask their friends if they’re thinking about killing themselves,” he said. “They’re just looking for someone to open that door so they know it’s OK to talk about.” Training is available for students, resident assistants and other members of the community who have an active role communicating with people in highstress situations. Recently, Wawrzyniak and Poole took an active role in bringing ASIST Training to UNC, a program that teaches par-
ticipants to connect, understand and assist a person with suicidal ideations. In September, Project Safety Net will again be offered along with QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) Training. Though Gilkey said students should not blame themselves if a friend commits suicide, being available as a resource and to direct friends to counseling can save lives. Those who are having suicidal thoughts should also be proactive in seeking assistance. “We need to recognize the big picture and that total health is not only physical health but also includes mental health, and looking at a holistic picture of health … to recognize we all go through a range of emotions and should not be afraid about opening up about needing help,” she said.
Warning signs of someone considering suicide • Talking about suicide or making remarks such as “I wish I were dead” or “I wish I hadn’t been born.” • Getting items that could be used to commit suicide, like a gun or stockpiling pills. • Withdrawing from social contact and wanting to be left alone. • Dramatic mood swings, such as being emotionally highone day and deeply discouraged the next. • Being preoccupied with death, dying or violence. • Feeling trapped or hopeless about a situation. • Abusing alcohol or drugs. • Changing normal routine, including eating or sleeping patterns. • Doing risky or self-destructive things, such as using drugs or driving recklessly. • Giving away belongings or getting affairs in order. • Saying goodbye to people as if they won’t be seen again. • Acting out of character, such as becoming very outgoing after having been shy.

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.
Academic majors should not define skill set, job applicant On Saturday, a host of high school juniors invaded UNC for Junior Days, a marketing ploy wherein high school students and their parents visit the University of Northern Colorado to see if it is the “right fit.” One of the activities for parents and students at the event was meeting UNC faculty in the University Center Ballrooms to discuss potential majors. The top question on every parent’s and student’s mind was “What can you do with that degree?” This is an asinine question
because students do not attend college to study a potential career. One does not major in one specific job. The goal of any college major should be to teach students to think and write well, and those are the most important skills with which one can graduate. They are rare skills, too. If a person can think critically, can look at a problem and determine a viable solution to it and can communicate intelligently, then he or she is a prime candidate for any job. True, individuals who chose majors that lead to professional
careers — business, engineering and education — are looking for specific jobs. Most people are not that specific, nor should they be. In an AOL Jobs article, Steve Langerud, director of professional opportunities at DePauw University, is quoted as saying, “What I hear from employers in greater numbers than ever is that candidates are not their majors. (Employers) are seeking talent first and then majors.” Langerud goes on to assert that college graduates live in a talent economy, so a graduate’s talents are what get him or her a job.
Often, these talents are developed separate from a one’s major course of study. To an extent, it is unfair to make 17-year-olds think about how they want to spend their professional lives. Most professionals, middle-aged men and women, frequently change careers because they feel uneasy. A college major does not trap a person into one career; it is not destiny. However, the truth of the matter is that the individual and his or her skills are more important than what he or she majors in.

Lack of communication skills disqualifies many Student Senate candidates Josh DIVINE
editor@uncmirror.com
T
he Student Senate elections start tomorrow, and as nice as it will be to graduate this year, I am disappointed that I cannot have a more active role in this election and that the candidate turnout is so dismal. The nice thing is, though, that with historically low voter turnout rates, those of us who do vote can have a large influence on the election’s result. For those of you who don’t know, the Student Senate controls where close to $1.5 million goes. That’s enough for you to have a vested interest in who
wins the election. I wrote a column last November about how Facebook posts can be incriminating. In this case, Facebook was instrumental in narrowing down my vote. Here’s a list of people I don’t vote for: I don’t vote for people who put as their political views “I like to parrtttyyy” or believe they are “the (expletive).” I don’t vote for people who are unable or unwilling to differentiate between “your” and “you’re.” I don’t vote for people who flip off the camera and, indirectly, me. Off Facebook, I don’t vote for people who show up in basketball shorts to formal candidate events or people who don’t even bother to show up to said events without having a good reason. I don’t vote for people who can’t capitalize an opponent’s
name, who claim divine knowledge of a candidate’s thoughts or who commit more than 80 semantic and factual errors in a one-page written grievance against another candidate. Other things equal between two candidates, I don’t vote for people who are pursuing bachelors’ of arts degrees who run for academic affairs and I don’t vote for people for finance if their majors aren’t finance related. I have higher expectations for Greek candidates. This is largely because Student Senate is disproportionately represented by Greek individuals by an overwhelming amount and because many (but not all) Greek individuals ride in along a Greek ticket with hardly any campaigning. That’s not to say I won’t vote Greek. I have before. I will in this election. That is to say that Greek candidates have an extra
burden to show me how they can do well for all students, not just those who are Greek. In case you’re wondering, everything except for the finance/academic affairs bit refers to current candidates. It’s up to you to decide whom to vote for. Maybe you should take a look at candidates’ Facebook pages. Candidates, maybe you should increase the security on your pages unless, of course, you think that it will signify you have something to hide, which for some of you it does. And, voters, if you don’t like a candidate who is running unopposed, don’t vote for him or her. It says something if an unopposed candidate hardly receives any votes. — Josh Divine is a senior mathematics major and a weekly columnist for The Mirror.

Annual relay raises $55,000 for cancer research SAVANNAH MCCULLY news@uncmirror.com The Campus Recreation Center at UNC underwent a transformation Friday from its normal scenery of individualized fitness workouts to a busy, upbeat and chaotic center of cancer awareness fundraising as hundreds of students participated in Relay for Life. The second-floor track was packed with students who walked alongside friends and teammates. The first-floor basketball courts resembled a makeshift campsite, with tents and canopies lining the walls and dedicated
teams sprawled on mattresses and chairs, playing games and listening to music to pass the time. From 6 p.m. Friday to 7 a.m. Saturday, 79 teams participated in the 8th Annual Relay for Life, an event that raises money for the American Cancer Society, which uses proceeds to find a cure for cancer. The event brought together students from several groups on campus, representing Greek Life, campus clubs, residence halls, athletic teams and groups of friends. Participants spent the night walking the track to raise money,
often switching shifts with other team members. “I did this because it’s going to a great cause,” said Katy Masterson, a freshman art education major. “It’s a lot of fun, and it’s bringing students together.” Teams did more than just walk to raise money by fundraising prior to the actual event. Students could raise funds individually through their friends and family, but many teams hosted events on campus to raise money. For instance, many residence halls held events like “Pie Your Resident Assistant” while
other teams sold baked goods in the University Center. Their efforts paid off, as a volunteer from the American Cancer Society said funds had already reached $55,000. Students spent almost 12 hours in the Campus Recreation Center but could participate in a number of different activities. Many campsites welcomed anyone to join board and card games. One site had set up Guitar Hero for interested students, and UNC Student Radio played music throughout the night. Despite the games and fun that took place throughout the night, there was also an awareness of the event’s meaning. Upon entering the basketball courts, participants were greeted by a large banner that asked “Why do you relay?” on which students wrote why they chose to participate in Relay for Life. While some people wrote they were “relaying” for their team or to find a cure, others wrote about having family members battling cancer. The night also featured

to those who lost their battle with cancer, were given candles and completed a remembrance lap. Laughter and music filled the air throughout the event, but there was also a sense of empowerment and strength among the students, who knew their efforts were going to a great cause. The event also united the campus together in an effort to find a cure for cancer, and demonstrated the strength of the UNC community.

Summit to focus on eliminating inequality
KELSEY HAMMON news@uncmirror.com
With the help of the Summit Organizing Committee, the Summit on Social Justice and Diversity at UNC is set to inform students on eliminating inequality. The summit, which will be hosted from 9:30 a.m. – 5 p.m. Tuesday in the University Center’s Panorama Room at the University of Northern Colorado, will present research papers, speakers
and a panel to address and analyze issues of inequality. “Looking at a problem allows you to facilitate the right action,” said Hermon George, a professor of Africana studies and the adviser for the Summit Organizing Committee. “The forum is an annual commitment to social justice on behalf of the community. The purpose of Summit is to offer a place at the university where students can be proactive towards social justice issues.”
This year’s event will have a social justice report card. The grade given examines the number of black residents in the state and compares them with the percentage of black students on campus, George explained. For example, the percentage of blacks in Colorado is four percent, which is compared to the number of blacks who attend UNC. The closer the percentage is to the statewide percentage, the higher the grade is.
“The report card holds the institution accountable for seeking diversity,” George said. This year’s panel will address and examine pressing issues such as the Occupy Wall Street Movement, immigration, the economy and voter suppression. The Summit Organizing Committee is a good way for students to partake in fighting for social justice, George said. Besides educational forums, the group also raises funds for causes
MCB series brings past Panera president COLLEEN ALLISON news@uncmirror.com
Neal Yanofsky will round out the Monfort Executive Speaker Series at UNC Monday when he discusses the challenges faced while building a United States brand in a foreign market. Yanofsky will present “If There’s a ‘Global Marketplace,’ Why Haven’t You Eaten a Pork Floss Donut? — The Challenges of Building a U.S. Brand in a Foreign Market” at 11:45 a.m. today in Kepner Hall. “Neal Yanofsky’s career has spanned several industries, with a common thread of developing strategies and building teams that drive the expansion of highgrowth firms,” according to a press release for Yanofsky’s presentation. He was the president of the popular restaurant chain Panera Bread. While he was president, he helped the restaurant chain grow
from 500 to 1,200 locations. During this time, he also achieved industry-leading returns for its shareholders. Earlier in his career, he re-launched the venture capital arm of Fidelity Investments, where he specialized in medical technology investing. He served as president for the international Dunkin’ Brands, the parent of Dunkin’ Donuts and Baskin-Robbins. He was responsible for all operations outside the U.S., comprising more than 7,000 stores. He has also taught graduate management programs for more than 20 years at Radcliffe College in Cambridge, Mass., and Simmons College in Boston. “The purpose of the Monfort Executive Professor Program is to strengthen the integration of practical experience in the theoretical
basis of the curriculum taught in the College of Business Administration through opportunities for ongoing interaction among academicians, students and business professionals and practitioners,” according to the press release for Yanofsky’s presentation. “The program will help keep the curriculum and education of the students in the
College of Business Administration current and relevant by supplementing theory with experience, research with practical application and resources of the university with the resources of industry.” For more information on the Monfort College of Business and the Monfort Executive Speaker Series, visit www.mcb.unco.edu.
of justice. The group has hosted the Summit on Social Justice and Diversity since 2004. The summit has also seen some renowned inspirational speakers and authors. “Last year, James Loewen, author of ‘Lies My Teacher Told Me,’ spoke,” George said. The forum is impor-
tant because we need to ask the right questions in order to get the right answers, George said. The summit’s panels, papers and speakers give students the chance to be proactive to fight for social injustices. It’s important to examine public policy and how today’s issues revolve around public order, George said.

Softball team splits series with Weber State SAMANTHA FOX sports@uncmirror.com
Big bats plagued and helped the UNC softball team, splitting the fourgame series during first weekend of conference play against Weber State at Butler-Hancock Softball Field. “I think Weber was good enough to come in here with their bats to take a game from us, but I just don’t think they should have taken two,” head coach Mark Montgomery said. The University of Northern Colorado (17-17, 2-2 Pacific Coast Softball Conference) had 35 total runs in the series, with Weber State (13-20, 2-2) tallying 28.
“Hitting is game before contagious,” freshman Kelci senior designatCheney went ed player Alex into the circle as Neely said. “One relief. person gets a hit, “I think (Kelci) that next person is doing great,” up steps up Montgomery there with more said. “I think confidence and I Alex Neely Duffy pitched a think we were had five hits and well game in the just able to put six RBIs in four last one.

After a 10-pitch ent softball game than the battle, Smith went down others of the series. The swinging for the second Bears lost 3-1, but that is out. Following that, a not to discredit freshman strikeout from Duffy ended pitcher Mikayla Duffy, who the game. recorded the loss. Duffy “I felt really good about had two earned runs in the it — I did,” Smith said. “I
battled and Duffy had been working really hard. It was a one-run ball game until the last one. I really wanted it for them because they all worked really hard, and especially in the last inning. Everyone worked hard to get on base, so I really wanted to get them in, but it sucks that it didn’t happen.” During Sunday’s first game, the Bears had a six-run third inning. Smith had two RBIs and a run in that inning and six in the game, four off of doubles and the final two when she hit a triple to right. “I just felt really good at the plate today,” Smith said. “Cheney was pitching a heck of a game, so I wanted to make sure she had a lot of runs and felt good about going out there and being confident.”
Both of Saturday’s games ended with the eight-run rule during the fifth inning of both games. The Bears lost 15-6 in the opening game of the series, during which Duffy took the loss after giving up six runs. The Bears brought their bats early in the second game, though, and a six-run third inning for UNC put the team ahead on its way to a 12-4 victory. The victory began with a two-run home run in the first inning from Neely, who also had an RBI double in the game. “I just wanted to be aggressive,” Neely said. “We worked on attacking the first couple strikes rather than getting down in the count and really being aggressive, especially with runners on and making something happen earlier in the count.”

All-conference 2010 receiver returns to football team MICHAEL NOWELS sports@uncmirror.com
The UNC football team has a tall task ahead of itself on offense this season: replacing speedster wide receiver Patrick Walker. Luckily for the University of Northern Colorado, the top performer from the 2010 season, redshirt junior Jace Davis, is set to return to the roster after missing a year due to academic ineligibility. In 2010, Davis was an all-conference player for the Bears, racking up 992 yards receiving and seven touchdowns on 53 receptions. While he was forced to miss last season,
Walker stepped playing with the up and outdid first-string team Davis’ numbers, in spring pracwith 1,171 yards tice, and Davis and 10 touchsaid he apprecidowns. Now, ates that his Davis and his coaches have mates on the shown such receiving corps belief in him. Jace Davis “The coaches will look to obviously have a replace that had seven touchlot of faith in me p r o d u c t i o n downs two years to put me at from Walker, ago before missnumber one who graduates ing last season. automatically,” in May. “Any time you lose Davis said. “My teammates your top producer it hurts, and my coaches really but I’ve always said the helped me out in a positive next guy’s got to step in way, so I give them all the and be ready to go,” wide credit.” Collins said now that receiver’s coach Keith Davis is able to be back on Grabel said. Davis, who was the team, it’s his responsidescribed by head coach bility to keep himself Earnest Collins Jr. as a focused on schoolwork. “freakish athlete,” has been “At this point in time in
Jace’s career, it’s really on him,” Collins said. “You could babysit a kid, you could do all sorts of things, but the bottom line is for him to learn the lessons of life, he has to want to do this himself.” Last year, the tight end position was not utilized much in the passing game, as junior Doug Steele led the tight ends with just seven receptions on the season. Collins said he expects that to change in the fall. “That’s one of the key things we’re trying to develop this year — our tight end spot,” he said. As for the rest of the wide receivers aside from Davis, senior Dominic Gunn, junior Chris Morris and sophomore Dimitri
Stimphill will figure to see the field quite a bit this fall. Now that they have a year under their belt in the new coaching staff’s playbook, Grabel said he expects they will understand the concepts of the offense better. “Their knowledge is going to be better,” he said. “Their understand-
ing of the game is going to be better. It’s pretty much the same system, the same concepts that we’re running, so it’s going to be quicker for them, they’re going to understand it better and they’re going to play faster, which is what we want.”

Editor’s endorsements for 2012 Student Senate election
For this year’s Student Senate election, we’ve chosen to endorse the following candidates based on the experienecs and platforms they expressed during the campaign trail. President: Charlie Charbonneau. Running unopposed, Charbonneau’s work as both a resident assistant and this year’s director of Organizations have made him extremely familiar with the way the university works as well as legislative tasks. His experience makes him a good fit for next year’s Senate. Director of Legislative Affairs: Andrew Hill. Hill has expressed solid
ideas in increasing relations between UNC and the Greeley community. He also has expressed dedication with increasing voter awareness on campus and transparency on tuition. Director of University Relations: John Pherson. Pherson, who is running unopposed, received experience on Senate this year as the director of Academic Affairs. His classroom experience as a marketing major will help him enhance the university’s prestige and promote it to potential students. Director of Student Organizations: Samantha Fox. After three years of involvement with Senate in a non-voting role, Fox is pre-
pared to excel in dealing with clubs and organizations and provide the information and leadership needed to provide fairness in the funding process. Director of Finance: Oliver Bourne. A finance major, Bourne, who is also running unopposed, has worked with current Director of Finance Tyler Ames. Bourne brings a know-how and experience to the position that should help him succeed in Senate. Director of Academic Affairs: Shelby Williams. With a penchant for passion, Williams has outlined her ideas for the future and is already accustomed to
Senate and its functioning as a representative from the college of Humanities and Social Sciences. Student Trustee: Levi Fuller. Fuller has been an outspoken member of Senate this year as the director of Student Affairs. Though running unopposed, Fuller has structured the proposal to restructure Student Senate and wants to see that through. Director of Student Affairs: Nick Loveridge. Loveridge brings experience from roles on the President’s Leadership Program, the Colorado Leadership Alliance and the Denver Leadership
Foundation. Loveridge comes prepared for the role and looks forward to increasing relations between Colorado universities. Director of Diverse Relations: Ben Fuller (writein). Though running as a write-in candidate, Fuller brings more of a sense of leadership and experience than other candidates for the position. A strong online campaign shows his dedication to Senate and his willingness to be a part of it. Student Leadership for Environmental Action Fund Ballot Proposal: Yes. The measure’s request of one dollar per credit hour per student would raise $500,000
for environmentally sustainable projects, a seemingly small price to pay when the university charges students much more for less savory things. Restructuring Student Senate Ballot Proposal: No. This proposal will change the makeup of Student Senate to remove five director positions and increase the number of college representatives to three each, minus University College. Involvement with Senate among the student body is low enough as is, and delegating tasks ambiguously among representatives won’t be as effective as it is in current form.

Management Club to sell earth-friendly bags COLLEEN ALLISON news@uncmirror.com
The Monfort College of Business’ Management Club is helping UNC students spruce up their spring accessories in a sustainable way with their earth-friendly bag sale. The sale will take place from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. April 2 – 6 on the lower level of Gunter Hall. Bags will be $4. “The proceeds are divided between the Earth Day Network and future funding for activities and recruiting efforts of Management Club — about a dollar each,” said Jason Richards, the activities coordinator for the MCB Management Club.
TAYLOR HENSEL arts@uncmirror.com Libra (Sept. 25-Oct. 22) If you’re having relationship problems, try to talk them out calmly and rationally. If that doesn’t work, turn to your best friend Jack, and his pals Jim, Johnnie, Jose and the Captain. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov.21) Too bad you didn’t win the $640 mil this weekend.

“Since Earth Day is less than a month away, we wanted to create an event that engaged the club and helped raise money for the Earth Day Network and the club.” The motto for the bag sale is “Support your school, support your planet.” The bags are handwashable and have a rigid bottom to help with weight distribution. “Our goal is to sell 100 bags and raise $100 for Earth Day Network,” Richards said. The yellow bags have logos on them that the Management Club designed, which features a University

The more you use it, the more it helps,” Richards said. “These bags are jumbo size, so they can be used for the gym, moving and laundry.” The Monfort College of Business’ Management Club is dedicated to helping business students get real-world experience. “Management Club is geared toward preparing students to enter the realm of business management,” Richards said. “We attempt to increase our capacity as managers by
developing and implementing events and activities that enhance club and community commitment.” According to Richards, this will not be the only event the club will host, as they are already planning for next semester. “The beautiful part about the club is we want to create events that are not typical fundraisers or activities — (we) drive creativeness,” Richards said. “This event may be annual; it depends on the evaluation of it. We attempt to attend a tailgating party during the fall and plan on having a bowling activity near the end of the semester.”
Taurus (April 20-May 20) You will wake up with an unexplained hatred for Brad Paisley. I will be sitting in my lair, cackling over the success of my mind-control device. Gemini (May 21-June 20) If you don’t know what “Faith-Hilling” is, you’re obviously not a fan of South Park.
Cancer (June 21- July 22) Years from now, you will realize the only class at UNC that was actually as cool as it sounded was “History of Rock and Roll.” Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) You’ve never seen Lynyrd Skynyrd, but you sure saw Molly Hatchet.
