Show awards standout artists in different styles JORDANE HARTBAUER news@uncmirror.com

UNC’s School of Arts and Design hosted its awards ceremony for the annual student art show on Wednesday outside Guggenhiem Hall. The ceremony honored the students who won best of each category and the best of show. The best of show winner was Ambrette Gilkey,a graduate student, for her piece of art “Line.” Each of the best of category winners won a certificate and $50. Gilkey received $150 for best in show. Joan Shannon Miller is the director of the UNC galleries and was in charge of putting together the students’ art show. “Each student can enter up to three pieces,” Miller said. “We had about 200 pieces of art today. We

have a juror who juries out some of the pieces. He selects what he deems to be the best of the pieces.” According to the School of Arts and Design’s Web site, there were 10 possible categories in which students could enter their work. These categories included drawing, painting, printmaking, photography, fiber, jewelry, sculpture, mixed media, graphic design and computer graphics. There was also a separate category for graduate students. All of the artwork was selected by Scott Lorenz, the owner of Maxims of Greeley art gallery, a commercial art gallery. He was also responsible for selecting this year’s best of show winner. “What I look for is attributes that are more on a commercial level,” Lorenz said. “I might be leaning more towards beauty and

craftsmanship. Even in good abstract, there should be a sense of confidence in the work; the work should be very loose and spontaneous. Craft is a really huge thing for me; that is probably what I was looking for the most — not just the message of the art, but how well executed it is.” John Sawvel, a junior visual arts major, was one of the award winners. Sawvel received the Dean’s Purchase Award and best in drawing. “It is important to enter my work into this art show because it helps to get my work out there,” Sawvel said. “It is also really fun to see where my work stands and to get the feel of the competition. Most importantly, I entered this competition so that people could see what I am doing.”

Student Senate members finish academic year with final meeting, farewells DARIN MORIKI news@uncmirror.com

The Student Senate concluded its meetings for this academic year by hosting a banquet that commemorated the achievements of this year’s Senate cabinet. “You’re all really a tremendous group of people,” said Dean of Students Raul Cardenas. “I’ll always remember the work that you’ve done and the mark that I think you all have left on this campus.” Among the recognized accomplishments was the creation of the Student Judiciary, which will function as the university’s new student-led judicial body beginning in the fall semester, if it is approved by the UNC Board of Trustees. If instated, the five-person judicial body will

hear a wide range of student grievances, including those concerning academic, legislative and ethical issues. Some Senate members acknowledged that their participa-

tion in the Student Senate not only provided them with leadership experience, but also allowed them to grow as individuals. “Student Senate has really changed our lives because without

it, we wouldn’t be who we are today,” said Student Body President Justin Puckett. “I can look back on my senior year of high school and remember that being above a 3.0 student was a

fantasy; being Student Body President wasn’t even an option at all. But when I compare where I was four years ago when I first came here to where I am now; the change is amazing.”

Campus cultural events open to all students Recently, members of the Black Student Alliance hosted a panel discussion titled “What it is to be Black on a predominantly White campus,” to raise awareness and bring to light problems many students of color may face at UNC. Like many other organizations on campus that cater to the needs of students of color, BSA hosts programs that are meant to bring attention to the diversity issues on campus. Members of the group expected a diverse audience — specifically those who are of the majority on campus. However, a

it does not mean it is limited to the students who the center is encouraged to support the most. If anything, these organizations exist so that many students who are not aware or have questions concerning the different students present on campus have a way of learning about the different groups. Diversity is a great thing to have on a college campus. Not only does it provide a healthy environment for those who attend the university, it opens students’ eyes to the beauty of difference and acceptance.

have experienced a different culture other than their own may feel hesitant to attend programs that aren’t directly tied to them. However, one cannot truly call themselves well-rounded if they stick to experiencing only one type of culture. For this reason, organizations on campus have tried new ways of reaching out to the majority on campus. Because a program may be sponsored by BSA doesn’t mean it excludes those who are not black. If a program is put on by the Cesar Chavez Cultural Center,

common problem one may notice about these programs is the lack of diverse students who show up. In order for the diversity issues to be nearly eradicated on campus, attendance to programs that are put on by students of color need to have an audience of very different backgrounds. What many students who are in underrepresented student groups on campus claim to be a perpetual factor with the results of their programming are students feeling intimidated by the group or program itself. This being said, to some who may not

I assumed the basis of this is that this person — like many other people — doesn’t pay attention to the news because it’s always “bad news” — or that the media has a liberal spin and that doesn’t fit into this person’s concept of reality. Whatever the reason, I know that there exist a lot of the strange myths about journalism. I’ve noticed in the past four years studying and practicing journal-

ism that people have grown a negative outlook on media. The notion of media constantly reporting bad news comes from the idea that whatever is reported is inherently bad, like corruption and murder. The perspective of liberally slanted news is linked to the attitude that media gatekeepers manipulate the news to push their agendas. The by-product of these ideas comes down to the delusion that journalists are bad. We’re not bad. We’re actually pretty OK. Long ago, journalists, or the press, earned the nickname of the Fourth Estate. Without delving into its history, in America it’s like the fourth branch of government. The press is —or should I say, “was,” considering the

amount to distrust — known as a check-and-balance. The American Constitution specifically addresses the freedom of press so that it can expose and indict an unfair government. Somewhere along the way, some people decided the press didn’t help. It was actually an enemy of the people. Now there are theories that news reports genocide and murder because it involves violence and tragedy, which sell advertising — or that the news is brainwashing society. Therefore, some people decide to cease watching, reading or listening to the news. What a shame. The ignorance stemming from the uninformed masses creates the frustrating politics that plague the nation. People put more trust in propaganda than in the press.

What the media actually report is change. Events that happen every day change from the previous day, this includes violence and tragedy. Liberalism is change. Conservatism is maintaining the status-quo. So by definition, the media will have somewhat of a liberal stance. If conservatism reigned supreme, there’d be no reason for journalism. Nevertheless, I’m sure my friend from class and anybody else who doesn’t pay attention to news live their lives in a bubbly state of ignorant bliss. But I’m not envious. I only hope the majority of people pay attention. Or unfortunately, our lives will be taken out of our own hands. — Mitchell Woll is a senior journalism major and a sports reporter for The Mirror.

Higher education finances on edge of ‘cliff’ UNC Board of Trustees prepares for expected decline in state funding in 2012 ERIC HEINZ news@uncmirror.com

UNC’s Board of Trustees continues to make efforts to stabilize the university’s budget for the following academic years. The next few years could be fiscally trying for many people because of the effect of state funding cutbacks. According to a document provided by the Board of Trustees, the state economic forecast estimates a $580 million cutback to higher education funding — this time is known as the “cliff.” The Trustees met Thursday in Gunter Hall for a finance and committee meeting to discuss aspects of the University of Northern Colorado that may help soften the inevitable blow. Board members said because the state can’t afford to fund higher education at this time, they will seek student-generated funds for budgetary fuel.

The meeting covered many financial issues higher education will soon face. In addition to raising tuition another 9 percent next semester, the Trustees discussed ways to

Pacifism strikes a pose PRESS RELEASE: Mike Manning, one of the cast members of MTV’s Real World in Washington, D.C., announced he is organizing a photo shoot to raise money for equal rights. The money raised will go directly toward UNC’s “In & Out” club, the GLBTA’s student group. Funds raised will be given to In & Out following the photo shoot and will be donated in memory of victims of hate. The photos will later be compiled into viral YouTube videos to be incorporated into the larger campaign. Also invited to attend are other Real World D.C. cast members, Congressman Jared Polis, Senatehopeful Andrew Romanoff and more. “A picture is worth 1,000 words,” Manning said. “If you get 300 students to attend this event, that’s a lot of words.” This is expected to be the first of a series of “End Hate” events from Mike and other activists around the United States.

avoid raising student fees and enhancing retention and other programs, thereby cutting expenses.

Some of the savings reserves will help with the budget, but other methods of revenue will be needed. “We have to be sophisticated in the way we run things,” UNC President Kay Norton said during the meeting. “But it’s not going to be easy.” The board presented a pie chart of the university’s revenues. The current budget consists of $170 million with $109.5 million from student revenue — $58 million from financial aid and $51.5 million directly from the students. The rest comes from state support, $44 million, and miscellaneous revenue, $16.5 million. In addition, the forecast of state funding for UNC will be $35.2 million — as low as it was in 2006. “(The Board is) putting the reserves together and looking at their expenses and looking for revenue wherever they can,” said Dick Monfort, chairman of the

UNC Board of Trustees, after the meeting. “They’re going to allow tuition to go up 9 percent, and there will be a few additional fees. Next year’s not as bad as the following year, and we’ll just have to see how the state reacts to that.” After assessing the budget, the Trustees discussed strategy models to attack the monetary gap. Most of the suggestions were based on improving academic affairs on campus and funding new technology, such as online classes. “The March forecast was the first quarterly forecast from the state in probably two years where there was no additional bad news,” said Michelle Quinn, the senior vice president and chief financial officer. “I think it’s an indication that we’re starting to make a slow recovery; however, the state budget (…) is relying on saving and funding that are not going to continue to balance the budget.”

Women’s Resource Center awards above-average efforts AMBER BAILLIE news@uncmirror.com

ELIZABETH FEHRINGER | THE MIRROR

Winner of the 2010 Inspiring Student Woman Award, Ashley Ruesgen, a sophomore political science and Mexican American studies major, receives her award Thursday in the University Center Ballrooms.

The 16th Annual Women’s Recognition Reception took place Thursday at the University Center Ballrooms to recognize female students, staff and faculty who’ve made efforts to improve UNC. The ceremony celebrated 30 years of the Women’s Resource Center, the ninth anniversary of the Stryker Institute and the 90th anniversary of the Women’s Suffrage Movement. The theme for the event was a quote from Mahatma Gandhi, “You must be the change you wish to see in the world.”

“Tonight, we want to recognize women who have gone above and beyond in different capacities,” Stryker Graduate Assistant Jennifer Kennymore said. “These ladies are inspirational and know their passion, and I think that really motivates people.” There were 36 women recognized from the Stryker Institute Leadership and Development Program, including first-year student leaders, mentors and middle school “Little Sisters” from the mentoring program. Through the program, secondand third-year Stryker scholars are able to mentor young girls for

team-building activities and discuss what it’s like to be a woman in today’s society. Seventh-grader Bethany Schmunk said she thought one of the activities on body image was influential and inspirational. “I’ve learned that you are who you are and loving yourself is all that matters,” Schmunk said. Scholar and mentor Cydney Martin said the program is a way to encourage girls and let them know that others believe in them. “It’s a way for us to give them the tools to succeed and set a good example as females,” Martin said.

Achievements of three recognized by university Women from Page 6 Martin also said as a non-traditional student, the Stryker Institute has been a huge support system while trying to manage school and parenting. “The minute I joined the program, I knew that I was no longer alone,” Martin said. “You can have a terrible day and walk into the Stryker Institute and be greeted with hugs, Hershey chocolates and people who know what you’re going through; it’s a wonderful support group.” The event also featured the Inspiring Women’s Awards organized by the Women’s Resource Center. University of Northern Colorado student, fac-

ulty and staff nominees were recognized for their honorable dedication and compassion to helping others and making a positive difference at UNC. “We really wanted to recognize these inspirational women and honor their hard effort and contributions put forth at UNC,” Kennymore said. Award recipients for 2010 included Ashley Ruesgen for Inspiring Student Woman Award, Teresa Steele for Inspiring Staff Woman Award and Priscilla Falcon for Inspiring Faculty Woman Award. WRC Director Yvette Lucero concluded the ceremony with a message to those honored.

Senior citizens get involved with community CARMEN BRADY news@uncmirror.com The Weld County chapter of the National Retired and Senior Volunteer Program hosted a sidewalk sale Thursday in Brown Hall. The sale included baked goods made by the volunteers, as well as other handmade items, such as knitted hats, scarves, Afghans and quilts. All items were made by volunteers and were on sale to raise money for the organization. RSVP is a program for volunteers over the age of 55 to help out in their community by offering a multitude of different services. The Weld County chapter is sponsored by UNC. The money made at the fundraiser will go to support community service. The chapter hosts fundraisers three times a year —

once in the fall and in the spring on campus and once a year at Island Grove Regional Park. “The funds that are raised from here go to ramps for those who are handicapped, Medicare counseling and we grocery shop for those who are homebound, plus some other programs,” said Marcia Schaffer, a director and volunteer with the program. “We have about 40 volunteers that brought in baked goods, and all of the other items were made by our volunteers. We have 880 volunteers that are servicing Weld County, and we work with 118 non-profit agencies throughout Weld County. All this helps fund what we do.” The volunteers said they enjoy the program because it gives them something to do, and it is something that benefits those around them. Liz Armstrong moved to Greeley about eight years ago, and

she said the program has helped her adjust to a new place. “It helped me make friends,” Armstrong said. “It’s helped me learn the area, finding different businesses, different volunteer areas, and I really have enjoyed RSVP.” Donna Gibson is another volunteer in the program and said she shared Armstrong’s sentiments. Gibson said RSVP helped her make friends and gave her a productive way to spend time. “I’ve been with them for about five years now, and I really enjoy it,” Gibson said. “I’ve made a lot of friends, and I feel like I’ve done some good stuff here. I feel like this committee gives some ladies an outlet for their creativity. They’re able to share that creativity with others and make a little money for the program. So, it’s been a good thing for everyone.”

New head coach makes transition easy JORDAN FREEMYER sports@uncmirror.com

After a hectic first week on the job, UNC men’s basketball head coach B.J. Hill is beginning to settle into his new role. The University of Northern Colorado athletic department hosted an informal press conference and meet-and-greet Wednesday in the High Plains Room at Nottingham Field that introduced Hill to boosters and members of the media. Members of the team were also present. “I couldn’t be stepping into a better situation,” Hill said. Hill is taking over a UNC team that went 25-8 last season and is only losing two seniors; the success allowed former head coach Tad Boyle to take the same position at the University of Colorado. “That was an opportunity he couldn’t pass up, going to the Big 12,” senior forward Neal Kingman

said of Boyle’s departure. UNC director of athletics Jay Hinrichs said he knew Boyle’s eventual departure from the program was inevitable and that a plan was in place to install Hill as his replacement. “That’s why he was the associate head coach,” Hinrichs said. “For two years now, he’s been taking on responsibilities that are more like head coaching while still being our head recruiter.” Hinrichs said Hill will have a multiyear contract as the Bears’ head coach, the terms of which cannot be released until they are approved by UNC’s Board of Trustees. After being named head coach on April 19, Hill traveled to Texas the next day to meet with incoming freshman guards Paul Garnica and Tevin Svihovec, who both re-affirmed their commitments to UNC. “It’s been a crazy week, but a fun week,” Hill said. “When I got

back into town, it hit me like a tidal wave.” Also staying at UNC is assistant coach Shawn Ellis, who has worked with Hill the past four seasons as an assistant at UNC and coached against him in Kansas at the junior college level. “He’s known me longer than she has,” Hill said, referring to Ellis and his wife, Eliza. Ellis said he thought about going with Boyle to CU but Greeley was the place for him. “A chance to go to the Big 12 is awesome,” Ellis said. “But a chance to work with one of your best friends at a place you really know and a place you really love; it was pretty easy.” Thanks to the fact that Hill and Ellis are staying with the program, the players said the transition has been easy. “Coach Hill is somebody we believe in,” junior forward Mike Proctor said. “It really couldn’t have been any easier.”

The UNC baseball team has split its last eight games and will close out April with a four-game series at conference foe North Dakota this weekend. Baseball T h e University of Northern Colorado (18-19, 9-3 Great West Conference) will need a strong team effort to take down the Fighting Sioux (9-24, 5-7 GWC) and their talented hitters.

“They can swing the bat pretty well and pitch average, so hopefully we can hit well and pitch better than average,” UNC head coach Kevin Smallcomb said. As far as the UND hitters are concerned, the team is led by junior outfielder Josh Lagein and junior first baseman Jake Magner. Lagein is hitting .282 with six home runs and 22 RBI this season. Magner was named the National Player of the Week last week after hitting six home runs, including four in one game, in a four-game series against the New York Institute of Technology. Magner finished the series with 10

runs scored and 14 RBI and is now batting .295 with 13 homers and 36 RBI on the season. On the mound, UND is led by sophomore right-hander David Lind, who is 2-1 on the season with a 5.40 ERA. The Bears haven’t played consecutive games away from Jackson Field since a series at Texas-Pan American in early April. Junior right-handed pitcher Joe Sawicki said sleeping arrangements and different food make it difficult to play on the road. “You’re just not in your own bed, and a lot of the guys live close to

(Jackson Field), so it’s nice taking your own time getting to the park,” Sawicki said. “On the road, you’re eating fast food and not getting the cafeteria food like you’re used to and whatnot.” Senior outfielder Mike Raudenbush, on the other hand, said he likes playing away from home. “I’ve never really had a problem playing on the road,” Raudenbush said. “I kind of like it. You can get away, just focus on baseball only, and nothing else. I enjoy it.” The Bears have not played against the Fighting Sioux since

2002, when both schools were members of the Division II North Central Conference. Raudenbush said they don’t know what the atmosphere will be like against North Dakota, but the Bears will go in expecting to win. “I don’t know about their field, I don’t know about their fans, and I don’t know about the umpires up there,” Raudenbush said. “I just know that if we go up there with the same sort of focus that we have when we win, then I think we’ll have a successful weekend.” The series starts 3 p.m. Friday in Grand Forks, N.D.

Senior aims for conference championship before leaving UNC PARKER COTTON sports@uncmirror.com

Senior outfielder Mike Raudenbush has been on the UNC baseball team for three years, and head coach Kevin Smallcomb said he has become a talented player and a leader for the team. “He can hit and he runs pretty good, so he’s a very versatile offensive player,” Smallcomb said of Raudenbush. “He’s a very good vocal leader and a guy that the younger guys look up to.” Out of high school, Raudenbush went to Otero Junior College in La Junta. In one year there, Raudenbush hit .360 and was a firstteam all-conference selection. It was after that season that Raudenbush made the decision to come to the University of Northern Colorado. “I decided to call up Coach Smallcomb, or send him some emails, after my freshman year, and he looked at my stats and my records and decided I’d be a good fit and told me to come for a visit,” Raudenbush said. The next year, Raudenbush was in a Bears uniform and he worked his way into the lineup for 32 of the team’s 54 games and hit .364, second on the team. This season as the starting right

fielder, Raudenbush is batting .358 with two home runs and 20 RBI.

Raudenbush said he started playing baseball as a kid and his favorite thing about the game is the bonds on the teams, especially on this Bears team. “I’ve been playing baseball my whole life, ever since I can remember,” Raudenbush said. “My dad brought me a T-ball one day and I’ve been playing ever since. I love the camaraderie of the team, as a whole. I love being in the locker room with all the guys. We got a lot of good guys in the locker room, and that’s the thing I’ll probably miss the most.” Raudenbush said he wants to leave UNC with a Great West

Softball hits road looking to capitalize on momentum STAFF REPORT sports@uncmirror.com

After a dismal beginning to the 2009-’10 season for the UNC softball team, the Bears have turned their fortunes Men’s Basketball around and will look to build off their six-game winning streak this weekend against Seattle University. The University of Northern Colorado (16-28, 7-5 Pacific Coast

Softball Conference) hit its stride midway through April as it has won six straight games, and nine out of its last 10, since April 17. The Bears swept PCSC rivals Weber State last week and will look to continue their hot streak in conference play in May. UNC will take on Seattle (2124, 8-6 PCSC), who currently sits in second place in the conference going into this weekend. The Red Hawks are led by senior outfielder Katie Antich, the only player in their lineup who has started every game, as she is hitting at an impressive .381 clip as

the leadoff hitter. The Bears will have to concentrate on keeping Antich off base as the big bats of freshmen infielders Theresa Clark and Jessica Ulrich follow her. The dynamic duo of freshmen leads the team in RBIs; Ulrich has 27 RBIs on the season while Clark has batted in 23 runs. The Bears offense will counter with a more spread-out approach but will rely heavily on their leadoff hitter and big bats in the middle of the order to produce. Senior outfielder Jessie Schoepflin holds the leadoff spot in the lineup and is batting .356

on the season. Sophomores Erin Wilkinson and Melisa Ryba follow in the fourth and fifth positions in the lineup, respectively. Wilkinson is batting .313 with 18 RBIs while Ryba leads the team with 22 runs batted in and has a .331 batting average thus far.

First pitch between the Bears and Red Hawks will be at 1 p.m. Saturday at Logan Field with game two of the series starting at 3 p.m. The two teams will wrap up the four-game series with another doubleheader on Sunday.

Correction: We mistakenly identified the mug shot of sophomore catcher Erin Wilkinson in Wednesday’s paper. This is her actual photo. The Mirror regrets the error.
