Concert collects funds for AIDS benefit Local bands featured at annual awareness charity event DEVON NAPLES news@uncmirror.com

On a day of awareness and observance known worldwide as World AIDS Day, an array of UNC student clubs and organizations came together to coordinate another socially conscious campus event.

Wednesday’s World AIDS Day Benefit Concert, at which local bands The Hey Day and Left Lane Ends performed, was free for students. It raised money for the Colorado AIDS Project through donations and raffle tickets.

Tickets for 30 Seconds to Mars, Dropkick Murphys, Ozzy Osbourne and My Chemical Romance shows were provided

by UNC Student Radio and raffled for fundraising. Gift cards to Barnes & Noble and James Salon were also raffled away along with an iPod Touch, an Xbox Kinect and an X-Games pass. UNC Student Radio also contributed lights, sound and other resources.

The University of Northern Colorado campus organizations that participated, UNC Student Radio, Pi Kappa Phi fraternity, the Gay Lesbian Bisexual Transgender Resource Office, the Student Activities Office, the Center for Peer Education and the Drug Alcohol Tobacco Education Program sent volunteers to organize the concert.

Senior theatre arts major Mark Drum headed the planning and execution of the event. Drum, the vice president of Pi Kappa Phi and College of Performing and Visual Arts representative for Student Senate, said he had no problem recruiting volunteers for the event.

“I’ve had a great experience planning the concert,” Drum said. “I love giving students an alternative, something other than going to clubs on a Wednesday night. And getting local bands involved is great too.”

During the day leading up to the concert, the Center for Peer Education offered free HIV test-

ing in the University Center for students.

Organizers said awareness is a priority, but the next step is getting tested, something students are often hesitant to do.

Freshman elementary education major and Alpha Sigma Alpha member Kara Johnson said she volunteered for the event for that very reason.

“I don’t think our generation knows enough about the AIDS epidemic at all,” Johnson said.

“I think if you ask anyone about it, anyone our age, they usually know the basics, but they don’t know how to protect themselves. They don’t know what to do about it if it becomes a problem. And the main thing is they don’t want to get tested.”

Though AIDS is a thoroughly publicized topic, some students involved in the AIDS Day Benefit Concert said they thought higher awareness is necessary to defeat the epidemic.

Johnson said educating the public about the virus is the way to make this incredibly important awareness feel rele-

Crabtree Brewery hosts battle of Revolution DEVON NAPLES news@uncmirror.com

MELANIE VASQUEZ | THE MIRROR

Bikers gather Thursday outside the Crabtree Brewery to participate in a series of cycling sprints. Adam Davison, left, the host of Greeley Revolution, informs the participants of the winning prizes.

Crabtree Brewery in Greeley was the host of a collection of eccentric and lively personalities Thursday night for the Bike Battle, a competition organized by the cycling group Greeley Revolution.

The small brewery fit a surprising number of people and even accommodated bike competitions in a warehouse. Most of these abundant attendees were sipping on fresh local Crabtree beer, including various ales, stouts, seasonal brews and their signature ginger beer.

Two local bands performed in the bar for guests not yet enthralled with the cycling madness occurring in the next room.

In the Whale, a Fort Collinsbased indie rock collaboration of two former UNC students, played first. Machine Gun Scorpions followed.

People in the bar were danc-

ing; it started with just a guy in a yellow sweater doing the mashed potato and what appeared to be some modified version of an African tribal dance, and his moves inspired many others to join him one-by-one in the empty space in front of the bar’s tiny stage.

In the small warehouse where the bike battle was raging, DJ Matty Dice provided a musical backdrop for the riders.

Cheba Hut catered the event.

The sub shop’s general manager Dylan O’Reilly explained the Bike Battle.

“It’s actually a bike competition for the Greeley Revolution, which is just a local bike group that gets together and rides and throws parties,” O’Reilly said.

About 20 people brought their bikes. They played indecipherable games in the warehouse that involved a lot of bumping into each other, falling down, hitting walls and snatching things off the

ground. And later in the night, some of them took their bikes outside and conducted races through the brewery’s parking lot.

Sophomore Spanish major Madison Slater brought his bike into the warehouse and participated in the obscure competitions. He explained the meaning of the competition to Greeley’s biker community.

“This is a very warm event for bikers of all sorts,” Slater said.

“We are just all here partaking in crazy games to, you know, show off but in a very friendly way.

We’re all part of this sub-culture of American society, and people are sometimes intimidated by its exclusivity. So it’s good to get together. Tonight we all gather in a warehouse and ride around where cars won’t try to hit us.”

Slater said several bike shops in Fort Collins and Greeley sponsored the event. “We’re just having a good time the best way we know how to,” he said.

Tips, tricks available to students preparing for finals week TESSA BYRNS news@uncmirror.com

Finals week is upon students, and preparing for finals is no easy task.

Academic Support and Advising staff provide tips and tricks that can help any student get an A on his or her finals; but first, each student has to decide which method of studying best suits him or her.

“Each student needs to figure out the best way that they study and, ultimately, how they prepare for finals,” said Jennifer Griffin, director of Advising Services. “For example, for some students, a study group might be helpful, but

for others, they might not — (it) depends on all the people involved. As far as types of tests, it again depends on the individual taking the test. Some people do better at essay and some prefer multiple choice.”

Some students said they think

it’s better to find a good place to study before they work.

“What helps me with my study habits is being in a good environment like a library and having good notes for myself and then seeing how they correspond to what other students have,” said

There are numerous routes a student could take when they are studying, but the best is not to procrastinate and be efficient when they hit the books.

Rangel dangles by thread in House of Representatives Why bother with lectures on political ethics, top-notch education and instruction on how a pubic office is to be conducted when our leaders and representatives act in ways showing they think they are somehow exempt from reprimand once they obtain the position?

Rep. Charlie Rangel, you have some explaining to do — that is, if you can.

Rangel, D-New York, was recently censured by the House of Representatives after its ethics committee found him guilty of 11 charges of ethical breach, which

Our trust as voters is evident through who we elect. Trust is the foundation we rely on to sustain credible officials in the highest levels of government. Rangel’s ability to maintain his position shows he has the qualifications for the position, but he has become as jaded as his hideous hair cut.

We need people who can lead without being distracted by alternative motives. The education center being erected is a good thing, of course, but Rangel missed the point by labeling his laurels and good deeds to the community.

The ethics a representative needs to follow are not only stated by the ethics committee, but are usually stated in candidates’ campaign speeches. Without the guidance of leaders who have come before, how else can future representatives lead by example?

Although the representative has been a beacon of political power in New York for more almost four decades, his knowledge of specifics in the House should have helped him catch his errors.

police; I find them to be condescending and impersonal.

Whenever I am confronted with one, I try to imagine them as a baby to make my face seem pleasant while they reprimand me for speeding. Which is hard because I never feel wrong for speeding because I only do it on the highway. It’s a million miles of flat, straight land — also known as the perfect place for me to try to coax my old car

up to 80 miles per hour and beyond.

I’ve been pulled over for many things: speeding, swerving, turning right where it was prohibited and being a ridiculously fly individual. And you know what? I’m guilty on all charges. When I get pulled over, I know what I’ve done and I don’t need a speech, I just need a ticket and a court date. Spare me your fatherly consternation, officer; I’ve got places to be.

But recent events have led me to reconsider the degree of gratitude I might usually feel for them, because much as it irks me to have my excellent driving insulted, I don’t know what it’s like to walk a day in their shoes.

I never once in my life have responded to an emergency call or picked up some drunk-and-

disorderly person or had to break up a fight or willingly put myself in dangerous situations for the benefit of others. I do my fair share of tackling people, but that’s purely therapeutic for me; I’m not worried about chasing criminals.

Do I think most policemen have a tendency to stereotype and disadvantage minorities?

Yes. Do I think they sometimes manipulate their power to work in their own favor? Yes. Do I think that they have an unbecoming pretentious swagger when they walk? Also yes. But these are superficial flaws that could pertain to anyone, like George Bush, for instance.

The point is the degree of safety in our neighborhoods is directly related to the amount of policemen patrolling the

area. An officer recently gave his life in service of our safety and justice, and this sobering incident and the memorial service that followed are a credit to the community, showing solidarity and faith within the justice system. Even I, the disreputable speedster I am, willingly admit that law enforcement is the single driving force that keeps our society from crumbling. So to all those pesky cops out there, I humbly offer my gratitude. We owe all officers our thanks for the danger they put themselves through on a daily basis where it is needed most. Even if a few tickets get in our way.

Dining halls provide boost before finals

Study breaks at campus dining halls are offered every finals week for students who have a meal plan. These breaks are hosted so students can relax from studying and grab a snack with friends.

“It gives the students some nourishment so that they can study hard and do good on their finals,” said Holly Wainscott, the associate director and registered dietitian for UNC’s Dining Services.

Study break meals will be restored to a student’s account, making the event free for students with meal plans.

However, if a student swipes in multiple people, only one of those meals will be restored.

For those who do not have meal plans, they can pay to join the

Student Senate Update

Plans for Grade Forgiveness Policy reconstruction in works CARMEN BRADY news@uncmirror.com Benjamin Schiffelbein, the director of Academic Affairs, gave an overview in this week’s Student Senate meeting of the possible changes that will be made to the Grade Forgiveness Policy.

Schiffelbein said the policy is currently being reviewed. As it stands, students have to have a Cor below in a class to apply and be eligible for Grade Forgiveness and can only use it for up to 12 credits. Schiffelbein said if the planned revisions are made, the application process will be removed, as will the C- require-

ment, and students will be able to repeat the class an unlimited amount of times, having the most recent grade stand for university purposes.

Schiffelbein said he did not personally approve of the policy as a whole because the grade only changes the student’s GPA at UNC, but original grades stay on students’ transcripts, which will be looked at by any other universities they apply to .

Ryan Shucard, the director of University Relations, also said he did not approve of the policy and that the name Grade Forgiveness was misleading because the original grades stay on a transcript.

Schiffelbein’s previous pro-

posal to change the Conference Grant System entered its second reading. The changes would allow any student in good academic standing who are endorsed by a professor to apply for a grant, eliminating the need for a committee to approve a grant. The requirement of 12 credit hours would also be changed to one.

Schiffelbein added an amendment this week, which would allow an unlimited number of students to go to any given conference, as the bylaws currently only permit five students to a conference.

In addition, the proposal would make changes that will help structure the way the SOT allots fees by changing the requirement for when clubs have to submit their rosters. Originally, Elliot wrote the proposal that required rosters to be due the third Friday of the semester, though she amended the proposal this week to the final withdraw deadline for individual classes.

Both proposals will enter their third-and-final readings at the

next Student Senate meeting, which will be the first Wednesday of the spring semester.

Student Right’s Advocate Samantha Fox reported the Student Judiciary’s second meeting was productive. Fox said there are still two vacancies open on the Student Judiciary, and it has been decided that the applications for the positions will be reopened until today, with the two spots officially announced by the end of January.

Bears give away lead, fall to rival CSU STAFF REPORT sports@uncmirror.com

Despite a five-point halftime lead, the UNC women’s basketball team lost to Colorado State, 73-66, last night at Moby Arena in Fort Collins.

The University of Northern Colorado (2-6) had four players score in double figures, led by junior forward Kaisha Brown, who scored 15 to go with seven rebounds.

UNC scored the first seven points of the game in just over a minute and had a 13-5 lead early.

Colorado State (5-2) closed the gap to 20-17 with just under 12 minutes to play, but the Bears went on a 13-3 run, capped by a layup from freshman guard D’shara Strange, who scored 14 points, to take a 33-20 lead with just under five minutes left before halftime.

After the break, the Rams

slowly chipped away at the Bears’ lead before tying it at 45 with 13:16 to play.

The teams exchanged the lead several times before battling to a 59-59 tie with 7:32 left in the game. A layup by CSU freshman forward Sam Martin with 6:16 left gave the Rams a lead they would not relinquish.

Martin finished with 14 points in the game.

The Bears went 3-for-14 from the field in the final seven and a half minutes of the game as CSU pulled away.

Sophomore forward Lauren Oosdyke scored 13 points, and senior guard Courtney Stoermer added 11 points and five assists.

After dismal shooting against UC-Santa Barbara on Sunday, the Bears bounced back, shooting over 40 percent from the field against the Rams.

After a 0-5 road trip, the Bears will return to ButlerHancock Sports Pavilion to take

Men’s basketball team to take on Black Hills State STAFF REPORT sports@uncmirror.com

In this time of year when gift giving is on everyone’s to-do list, the UNC men’s basketball team will look to wrap up a win for their fans Saturday.

To send Men’s Basketball t h e University of Northern Colorado student body home for Christmas on a happy note, the Bears (3-3) and head coach B.J. Hill must first send NAIA opponent Black Hills State (9-2) home with nothing

but coal in their stockings.

This is the second time in recent years Black Hills State has paid a visit to ButlerHancock. In 2008, the Bears demolished the Yellow Jackets, 91-62, in the season opener.

The Black Hills State schedule notes this game is nothing more than an exhibition for the Yellow Jackets.

Though this should be nothing more than a tune-up for the Bears, they will need all the fine-tuning they can get before facing No. 21 Illinois, fresh off defeating North Carolina on Dec. 12.

The Illini will be the second power-conference opponent

the Bears have faced this season; UNC fell, 93-70, to Arizona in the first round of the Las Vegas Invitational last week.

Black Hills State is led by senior forward Luke Enos, an NAIA All-American, first team all-Dakota Athletic Conference, and DAC Player of the Year last season. Enos has started all 11 games for the Yellow Jackets and is averaging 15.8 points and 7.3 rebounds per game.

UNC senior forward Taylor Montgomery, acknowledged by coaches and players as one of the best post defenders in the Big Sky Conference, will be tasked with stopping Enos.

BHSU also features two local

products; sophomore guard Craig Von Allman from Windsor is the team’s third-leading scorer with 11.6 points per game and is an 82 percent free-throw shooter. Greeley native Clay Pottorff, a senior guard, averages 6.3 points and a steal per game.

UNC is led by senior guard Devon Beitzel, who averages 16.5 points per game.

Senior forwards Neal Kingman and Chris Kaba also average double-figure scoring with 12.5 and 10.5 points per game, respectively.

Redshirt freshman forward Emmanuel Addo has also emerged as a force on the offen-

Askew, Eddy and Davis all earned first-team honors for the first time in their careers.

Swimming team to take on Falcons SAMANTHA FOX sports@uncmirror.com

The UNC swimming & diving team is looking for its second conference win of the year when it takes on Air F o r c e Swimming & Diving tonight at Butler-Hancock Pool.

The University of Northern Colorado (7-1) lost to the Falcons (2-4) last season, and UNC head coach Kelly McClanahan said the team wants to avenge that loss this time around.

“We want to beat Air Force this year,” McClanahan said.

“Last year, they beat us a little over 30 points, which in swimming, isn’t a lot. So this year, we want to win the meet; it’s going to come down to the wire, though.”

The Bears come into this year’s meeting, however, boasting young talent.

“We brought in 13 new freshmen this year,” McClanahan said. “Eighty percent of those 13 are contributing. It’s rare for a freshman to contribute right away — usually they need that year to adjust, but our freshmen are contribut-

“

We brought in 13 new freshmen this year.

Eighty percent of those 13 are contributing. It’s rare for a freshman to contribute right away usually they need that year to adjust, but our freshmen are contributing right away.

— Swimming and diving head coach Kelly McClanahan ing right away.”

One freshman who has stood out this season is Courtney Van Oost, who has been named Mountain Pacific Sports Federation’s women’s Swimmer of the Week twice this season.

“It makes me feel good I’m doing good in college,” Van Oost said. “It’s an honor to be athlete of the week twice.”

In UNC’s last home meet Nov. 4, New Mexico handed the Bears a 136-102 loss, but this was a big improvement compared to New Mexico’s 244-180 victory when the Lobos had

home advantage last season.

“I attribute a lot of that to our home crowd,” McClanahan said. “(Tonight’s) going to be a home advantage for us, having our home crowd here, but at the same time, a lot of Air Force’s team are Colorado kids, too. The support that we pull at our meets is more than most schools, even in this state or even in our conference will ever pull to a meet. The better the fan atmosphere, the better our girls swim.”

Last year, the Falcons defeated the Bears, 174-124.

Junior JJ Smith said one strength UNC has to overcome Air Force tonight is the close relationship the Bears have formed.

“We have our own little family up here,” she said. “I think us being that close as a team helps us rise above other teams and pushes us to be better. We see other teams who aren’t as close, and you can definitely tell. It helps us win more meets because, right now, we’re doing better than we were last year.”

Smith currently holds the team’s ninth-best 50-free record with 24.44 seconds.

Smith will help contribute against the Falcons in the 50free, 100-free and relays.

“Our strongest events are

going to be the relays,” McClanahan said.

McClanahan said the matchup with Air Force has been a main focus for the Bears this season.

“We all compete on bragging rights for recruiting Courtney Van Oost b e c a u s e we’re all has been named recruiting Swimmer of the about the Week twice so far same aththis season. l e t e s , ”

McClanahan said. “I go into it, expecting to win it. I expected to win it last year; it just didn’t come together for us in the end, but I expect to win it this year.”

The meet is set to begin at 5 p.m. tonight at Butler-Hancock Pool.

Next Meet: Air Force 5 p.m.

Organizations look to inform students Clean-up from Page 2

would like to see on campus that is not already implemented.

Rockwell said most of the light bulbs in the residence halls are fluorescent except for a few for safety reasons. Also, these lights are on special timers, scheduling when they turn on and shut off. If a student sees a light switch or something else amiss with the timers or lights, they should report it to Facilities Management right away.

Organizers said the main reason the Green Clean-Up Day is hosted is to make people more aware of what they are discarding. Some things that people throw away, such as televisions, can have lead in them, which, if the glass breaks, can be very harmful to

those handling it.

Also, if drinking water somehow gets into TVs, people who later drink the water may develop illnesses. Making disposable materials safe is another reason for the clean-up. The men and women working at the disposable companies have to handle all the things that people throw away, including items that have potential to be harmful.

Cleaning supplies, aerosols, shoes, electronics, printer cartridges, cell phones and eye glasses were among items accepted for proper disposal at the event.

For more information about how to recycle and discard items in a sustainable way, visit www.unco.edu/facility or www.greeleygov.com.
