Student Senate Update
Senate grants PVA $750, revisits grade inflation ALEXANDER ARMANI-MUNN news@uncmirror.com It was a busy night for Student Senate members Wednesday as they approved a funding proposal and resolution before hearing the second reading of a revision to the Graduate Student Association’s bylaws and entering the second round of the Student Fee Allocation Process. Senate approves PVA Student Council funding The UNC College of Performing and Visual Arts requested $750 in funding for its Student Council. Gerard Heise, the PVA representative, cited a consistent decrease in funding for PVA in recent years as the reason for the college making the request. Senate unani-
mously approved the full allotment of $750. Charlie Charbonneau, the director of Student Organizations, reported there is no money remaining in the Student Organizations fund. GSA seeks bylaw revision A proposal for a revision to the GSA bylaws entered its second reading. The proposed change to the bylaws would allow the graduate dean of students or provost to request a GSA president to serve a third term. Due to transitions in the graduate school, current GSA president Shanda Crowder has agreed to serve a third term next year. The bylaw would allow the current extension in Crowder’s term while
preventing future presidents from exercising the power to extend their own terms. If the proposal is approved, a GSA president will only serve a third term when asked to by either the graduate dean or provost. The proposal has seen no opposition so far; however, a motion to change the wording of the revision was approved. Senate will vote on the proposal after the third reading during next week’s session. Senate revisits, revises grade inflation resolution Senate then revisited a resolution to confront grade inflation at the university. The revision calls for the formation of a task force to investigate grade
inflation at the University of Northern Colorado and to determine viable solutions. The resolution declares that grade inflation is “rampant” at the university and affirms that no more than 30 percent of an undergraduate class consisting of 15 students or more should be awarded grades between an A+ and a B. Crowder expressed concerns over the lack of data to support claims made by the resolution, such as the prominence of grade inflation at the university. Crowder was supported by Krystal Duff, the director of Diverse Relations. “I don’t want to pass something without data,” Duff said.
The Senate moved to strike three clauses from the resolution. A clause claiming grade inflation was “rampant,” a clause claiming there was an increasing disparity of high grades awarded in certain departments and the clause urging a 30 percent cap on students receiving high grades were all cut from the resolution. After revisions, the resolution was approved and now moves to the Board of Trustees. Despite the approval, Ben Schiffelbein, the administrative assistant for Senate, said with so few weeks remaining in the semester, it is unlikely this resolution will be addressed until next academic year.
Senate completes initial SFAP hearings Senate moved into the second round of SFAP, completing initial discussion on all requests. Senate has a rough framework for next year’s SFAP budget; however, a deficit of $6,500 remains to be cut. SFAP funding this year stands at more than $1.3 million. Of the 17 organizations that receive SFAP funding annually, 10 are requesting increases for next year. Many of the organizations seeking increases in SFAP funding have suffered cuts by other monetary sources. Without increases in SFAP funding, many of the organizations’ final budgets will be decreased.

Dress to impress: outfits can alter self-perceptions Mother always said to dress the best; people aren’t taken seriously if they wear pajamas to work. To save others’ scrutiny of outfits, we listen to mother. We dress well to strike respect from those we wish to impress. From job interviews, to school, to church, each setting calls for a special polish. A recent finding argues that dressing well not only inspires others to respect authority, but it also affects esteem. If a woman wears a white coat she believes resembles that of a doctor, her ability to pay attention increases

they are carrying and holding a heavy clipboard makes people feel more important. Adam D. Galinsky, a professor at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, led the study that proves how clothing fashions a mutual beneficiary. Galinsky and his colleague Hajo Adam conducted three experiments in which college students were randomly selected to wear clothing that did not vary except for their symbolic connotations. The students were then given a timed test to measure their selective attentiveness based
on their abilities to find incongruities in images. College students wearing “doctor” coats found twice as many mistakes as students wearing “artist” coats or no coats at all. Galinsky says the idea behind the heightened cognition is that we reason with our bodies and not solely with our brains. Subsequently, another secret to success has been revealed. Those blue and white school uniforms make sense all of a sudden, and the phrase, “dress like a boss if you want to be a boss” has developed fresh validity.

irst of all, I’d like to congratulate this morning’s winners of the 2012 Student Senate election. This has been a fun race to watch and be a part of, and I’m sure that the best candidates for each respective position came out on top. It’s been some time since I have been overly critical in my writing, but I’m happy to have come across another fad that is annoying and unreasonable. Previous generations of American youth are commonly
identified and remembered for their overshadowed struggle as young people, swept into a historical context. Some are remembered as the last child laborers. Others were left homeless during the Great Depression. Often, Americans leave a legacy as defenders of freedom abroad. Twice, the federal government has initiated the military draft, and twice, a generation of Americans bravely accepted the call of duty. If you were born roughly between World War II and the Vietnam War, you are considered a “baby boomer.” Based on a recent Facebook marketing sweep, if you were born in the 1990s, you are considered “Nickelodeon slime.” Say you’re roughly 20 years old. You probably spent your childhood watching more televi-
sion and playing more video games than those in any other generation. Your heroes are twodimensional drawings and your most memorable moments of life involve a commercialized entertainment product that was projected from a box on Saturday mornings. Your life revolved around televised stimulation. Now, being born in 1990, I can hardly deny that this was the case for me. Just last week, I realized that I could name all the characters from “Doug,” “Hey Arnold!,” and “Rugrats,” having not seen any of these shows in years. We were all susceptible to this influence, and maybe our parents were as well. Easy, free entertainment meant keeping your kids occupied in the safety of the living room. Could there be a correlation
between that type of social isolation of our youth and our current addiction to isolated social contact such as Facebook, texting and other electronic media? I think it’s easy to overlook the global, political and cultural achievements of the 1990s when production companies like Disney, Fox and Nickelodeon had such a tight grip on our attention. I only ask that if you are going to be proud of the arbitrary date of your birth, try to latch onto an achievement of the decade that you can truly be proud of. “Good Burger” was not the crowning American feat of the 1990s. — Benjamin Fuller is a junior economics major and weekly columnist for The Mirror.

GLBT community, allies party under big top at Queer Prom PETER SZARAZ arts@uncmirror.com Lions and tigers and bears — oh, my! Yes, the circus came to UNC Thursday night, but not in the way one might expect. Instead, these animals were part of a circus theme for the 2012 Queer Prom, an event hosted every April at the University of Northern Colorado for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender students across the state. The entrance to the event was decorated with pictures of circus-like acts, such as tightrope walking, an elephant standing on its hind legs on a pedestal and a lion being fought off by a
man holding a whip. The prom was split into three sections to display the theme to its fullest; the east ballroom in the University Center was set up for entertainment purposes with a fortune teller and a bean bag toss. In the middle ballroom, tables were set up for socialization among the attendees. Refreshments were provided. The west ballroom consisted of green, blue and red strobe lights scattering along the room’s ceiling while people danced on the floor and in cages below. Attendees moved to the pop and electronic sounds of artists like Pink, Madonna and Nicki Minaj. People dancing to the
music were offered a chance to be themselves for an event set up primarily for them by Spectrum, an on-campus GLBT organization. Mary Odbert, a junior English major and secretary for the organization, said the prom allows GLBT youth to have experiences like every high school student should. “This is an opportunity for high school kids to have a prom for people attracted to the same sex,” Odbert said. “Every year it has grown.” Previously, turnout for the prom had been high, according to Odbert, but since the amount of attendees has risen over the years, Spectrum was able to reserve all ballrooms. This year’s
prom used the largest amount of room since the event started. For Odbert, her association with the GLBT community inspired her to start volunteering for the organization. “I have a lot of friends in the community and I wanted to represent them in a concrete way,” she said. “I have met so many amazing people while working in Spectrum. They gave me the confidence to be myself.” The support the event receives is immense. Colorado State University’s GLBT organization, SoGLBT, dedicated its time to support those who have been discrim-
inated in their schools. Odbert said after SoGLBT members went out to dinner, they drove to Greeley to
attend the event. For more information about Spectrum, visit www.spectrumunc.webs.com.

Tuition bill makes education more affordable, benefits all citizens SARA LEACH
As a student who is minoring in MexicanAmerican studies, I have done much research and learned about the effects of immigration on our economy and society. I believe that Colorado’s Senate Bill 12-015 is not a bill that punishes
documented immigrants and rewards undocumented immigrants, but rather looks to maximize the potential of future United States citizens. How the bill does this is by requiring these students to submit an affidavit to the institution to which the student is admitted stating that the student has requested

documentation of, has applied for or will file an application for lawful status as soon as he or she is eligible to do so. As a result, these undocumented students are required to work toward citizenship, and once obtaining it will be able to contribute to our community as educated citizens. An educated popu-
lation has many benefits including greater civic participation and lower crime rates. So, my question to those who oppose this bill: would we rather have an educated population or an uneducated population? In addition, many of those who oppose this bill are concerned about the U.S.
citizens’ tax money that is given to students through financial aid. Although undocumented citizens, in general, do pay property, sales and income taxes, this bill does not allow undocumented students to obtain financial aid nor funds from the College Opportunity Fund. With the degree of greater accessibility of college, more undocumented students will attend college, which will increase revenue for each college or university that chooses to adopt the policy. Another concern to those who oppose this legislation is that this bill is promoting more undocumented people in our state. According to the
bill, the student had to have attended high school in Colorado for three or more years, thus meaning that undocumented students could not simply come to Colorado to receive standard-rate tuition. Therefore, I believe that S.B. 12-015 will be beneficial to Colorado in many manners, including economically and educationally. I would like to personally thank the UNC Board of Trustees for supporting this bill and recognizing the opportunities that it holds for UNC, Colorado and future U.S. citizens. — Sara Leach is a junior recreation, tourism and hospitality major at the University of Northern Colorado.

First-inning deficit too deep for softball comeback MICHAEL NOWELS sports@uncmirror.com
UNC’s softball team took a 10-6 loss at the hands of Colorado State Wednesday after it fell behind early and wasn’t able to dig out of the hole. The University of Northern Colorado (17-18, 22 PCSC) dropped to a losing record for only the second time this season after the contest started with a bang as CSU sophomore shortstop Ashlie Ortega launched a pitch from Bears freshman starter Mikayla Duffy over the right-field fence for a lead-off home run. The inning didn’t
get any better for Duffy, who gave up five runs (four earned) wth two outs before she was relieved by sophomore Megan Wilkinson. Wilkinson said her mindset as a reliever helped her in quelling the Rams’ (18-18) early outburst. “You kind of have to have the mentality of being able to shut the other team down because that’s really what the relief role is,” she said. CSU batted around in the first inning and again in the sixth frame on its way to 18 hits in the game. UNC senior outfielder Erin Geddis closed the gap to four with an RBI single in the second inning, but the Rams put two more
on the board in the third. The Bears scored again in the fifth on a two-run shot by junior outfielder Lindsey Smith, but CSU again stretched the lead with a three-run sixth inning. Smith said after her home run, she thought the team would have a chance to make a run at the lead. “At that point, it was only 7-3, so I thought we definitely had a chance to come back after that,” she said. “I thought it would have provided a spark for us.” UNC continued to score in the sixth and seventh innings, with RBIs from freshman shortstop Kaitlin Flynn and Duffy. A wild pitch
in the seventh inning helped UNC as well, allowing Geddis to score. But it proved to be too little, too late for the Bears. UNC head coach Mark Montgomery said his team is putting itself in too difficult a position when it falls behind early. “The fact is we can’t keep spotting teams runs like this,” Montgomery said. “We’re not losing games because the other team is outplaying us and outperforming us. We’re spotting the team four or five runs, and that allows you to play with the utmost confidence and the utmost care in the world. Whereas, when you’re behind, you’re constantly at odds of trying to

Past week’s University of Northern Colorado sports brief update STAFF REPORT sports@uncmirror.com
Men’s basketball UNC (9-19) struggled to put together wins this season, but a definite bright spot was 3-point shooting, where it ranked first in NCAA Division I with a 44.4 percentage. Sophomore guard Paul Garnica was a huge contributor, shooting 48.5 percent, 10th-best in the country for a single player. Freshman forward Tim
Huskisson, sophomore guard Tate Unruh and sophomore forward Emmanuel Addo also added to the team’s stellar percentage by shooting 46.3, 46.2 and 45.7 percent, respectively. Men’s golf At the Towson Fireline Invitational in Grasonville, Md., this past weekend, the University of Northern Colorado tied for first, just barely losing out on its first team title since 2006. The Bears had a team score of 871 (plus-7) over three rounds and were led by
freshman Steven Kupcho, who shot a 5-under par 211 in the tournament and came away with a secondplace individual finish. Men’s and women’s tennis Victories sent the seniors of both teams out on a high note, honoring Andre Lepine in the men’s match and Jennifer Whateley in the women’s. In the men’s match, the only doubles victory for the Bears came from the duo of junior Brandon Lupo and freshman Ben Gendron, downing Metro State’s No. 1
doubles team Saturday. Lupo and Gendron also had victories in singles competition, both coming down to tie breakers. Sophomores Jeff Carlson and Michael Moya had the final two Bear victories, both winning with set scores of 6-0 and 6-1. For the women, Whateley had a final home win against Portland State, Saturday defeating her opponent 6-3, 6-0 in singles competition. Junior Jennifer Buchannan had the only loss
in singles, losing in three sets, after winning the first set, 6-2. UNC swept the Vikings in doubles competition. Both teams will play at Montana Saturday. The men are set to start at 10 a.m. and the women’s start time is to be determined. Track & Field The women’s squad defeated Air Force (249-0) and the University of Colorado (207-142) and fell to Colorado State (491.5129.5) and Wyoming (219186). The men downed Air Force, 197-81, and fell to CU
(201-146), CSU (396.75135.25) and Wyoming (191146) in the Fum McGraw Invitational in Fort Collins. Freshman Ashley Atkins led the Bears, winning the 800-meter dash (2:17.38). Freshman Amoni Ashby finished second in the 100 (12.01) and 200 meter (24.81). Her times were both career bests. Ashby now has UNC’s fifth-fastest time in the 200 meter. For the men, freshman Trevor Evanson, reached 1.96 meters in the high jump to take second.

Students need to be more vested in Board of Trustees’ actions Alexander ARMANIMUNN
editor@ uncmirror.com
R
ichard Monfort is a wealthy man. So wealthy, that in 2005 he joined his brother, Charles, in purchasing the Colorado Rockies. Today, Monfort is responsible for making executive decisions as the chief executive officer of the Rockies and as chairman of the Board of Trustees at UNC. Late last semester, Monfort and his colleagues on the Board of Trustees used their vested power to approve a contract with the
Greeley-based drilling company Mineral Resources Inc. The contract will allow Mineral Resources Inc. to administer hydraulic fracturing, better known as “fracking,” to extract oil and natural gas from rock shale underneath the University of Northern Colorado. According to the terms of the contract, the university has leased 246 acres of underground property to Mineral Resources for five years in exchange for $123,110 and 16 percent royalty payments on all oil and gas extracted from the site. If this is the first you are hearing of this contract, you are not alone. The Board of Trustees chose to approve the contract without consulting
members of the campus community, including the student body. To this day, the university has done little to disclose the details of the contract, and for that reason, the majority of the student body remains unaware of its existence. Perhaps the board does not consider fracking to be a controversial issue. Maybe it saw a business opportunity that was too good to pass up, or maybe a preoccupation with raising tuition prevented them from consulting the campus community. The truth is, fracking is a controversial issue, and the Board of Trustees did the university a disservice when it approved this contract without the consent of the campus community.
The other truth is that this contract is a great business opportunity with the potential to generate significant revenue for the university. Unfortunately, that revenue will not offset the seven percent tuition increase the board is proposing for next year. This will be the second consecutive year the board has raised tuition, following the 13 percent increase that took effect this year. According to the 2011 UNC Financial Report, student tuition was the university’s largest source of revenue each of the last three years. In those three years, revenue from tuition has risen from $79,206,461 in 2009 to $93,322,869 in 2011. By keeping students in
the dark on such decisions as the Mineral Resources contract, the Board of Trustees is alienating the population that allows the university to exist. All board meetings are open to the public, and an agenda outlining topics of discussion is available online before each meeting. Student Trustee Lauren Zdanowitz was informed of the Mineral Resources contract in November, just days before it was approved by the board. To her knowledge, the board made no efforts to consult the student body on the contract. “I do believe that the students could be better informed about what happens at the Board of Trustees level and in some cases, (the
board should) consult students before reaching a decision,” Zdanowitz said. “Based on my knowledge, the board has no direct contact with the general student body.” I spent an afternoon canvassing students to find out what they knew about the Board of Trustees and the decision-making process at UNC. I also wanted to find out how the student body felt about fracking and the Mineral Resources contract. Many of the students I spoke to were familiar with neither the process of fracking nor the contract approved by the board. In fact, after speaking to roughly two-dozen students, See Fracking, Page 7
D-line changes, filling in gaps left by graduating Bears BEN WARWICK sports@uncmirror.com
The UNC defensive line will have some noticeable differences when the team lines up against the University of Utah on Aug. 30. The biggest difference will be the absence of graduating seniors Marcus Felker, VJ Holmes and Nick Hernon. The University of Northern Colorado hired Jon Carpenter in the offseason as the team’s defensive line coach. Carpenter came to Greeley from South Bend, Ind., where he spent the past two years under Notre Dame head coach
Brian Kelly. Carpenter takes over the defensive front from James Jones, who will focus on the defensive tackles. Redshirt sophomore Devontae Chapple, who started all 11 games last season, will be joined by sophomore Lexington Smith and sophomore Marcus Lucas up front next season. Smith could be a key addition to the starting unit of the defensive line. Smith said he looked up to Felker and will work to be even more effective. “Last year, being in the game gave me a taste of what it was like,” Smith said. “Felker was my idol coming in as a freshman.

Miller
said he’s excited to tackle the new challenge. “It’s definitely more physical,” Miller said. “It’s been a nice transition from linebacker because it’s easier to read. When you’ve got guys like Chapple and (Smith), Shawn Alexander and Chris Urbaniak, it makes it easier. You know they’re going to be in the right spot.” While the defensive line is young as a unit, Chapple said it is experienced, which will help in the fall. “It’s coming together,” Chapple said. “We’ve got a lot of young guys. We’re young as a defensive line as a whole, but some of us
have experience like me, (Smith) and (Miller), and we’re just working out all the younger guys to get them up to where we’re at.” Smith said the unit is playing well together in spring ball and the entire defensive line will take the field come fall camp ready to play. “The reason why I believe we’re meshing so well is because we’re both dedicated,” said Smith, who had 31 tackles and a sack last year. “A lot of times you have a player or two who can’t really grasp what we’re trying to do, but in this line unit, everybody wants it, everybody’s hungry and everybody wants to play.”

Oil, gas should help offset rising tuition Fracking from Page 6 only three were aware of both fracking and the Mineral Resources contract. Brandon Shadley was one of those students. Shadley learned about fracking in an environmental science course he took at UNC. Shadley said that fracking, when done with water, did not both-
er him. He was more concerned with the chemicals that are often used in fracking fluid. Shadley was concerned by the prospect of drilling at UNC but not surprised by the board’s decision to approve the contract. Kaycee Kealoha and Kate Jeavons are two
UNC students who were unfamiliar with fracking and unaware of the Mineral Resources contract. Both expressed concern of rising tuition and said they hope that profits from drilling will go toward making the cost of attendance more affordable. “Notifying the stu-
dents would have been nice,” Kealoha said. I encourage all students to consider how they would like to see the money from this contract spent, and to take those considerations to the Board of Trustees at its next meeting, June 8 in the University Center Panorama Room.
