Students, community donate supplies to benefit hospital CARMEN BRADY news@uncmirror.com

Sarah Rose, left, a senior criminal justice major, helps take down donation information with Rachelle Robinson, a senior communication major, Saturday at the Bears Give Back Carnival in Cranford Park.

Students who wanted to give back to the community by raising funds for a local organization came together Saturday at Cranford Park on central campus. Participation from many groups on campus assisted to make the third annual Bears Give Back Carnival possible.

The event was organized by the Panhellenic Council and other UNC organizations, such as the Student Alumni Association.

The carnival was open to the public and featured different

booths and activities. A cakewalk, and a fishing game where participants could bring home a goldfish, were a few of the available games for attendees, with UNC Radio providing music.

This year’s carnival raised money for St. Jude Children’s Hospital. The last two years the carnival gave proceeds to AIDS research.

“We found that within the different organizations there was more of a passion for the children at St. Jude’s in Memphis, so we switched the focus,” said Jessica Jones, a senior psychology and communication major.

Jones, who helped organize the carnival this year, said she was glad to see the excitement from those who attended.

“We all really care, and it’s a good way for our school to help,” she said.

The event changed locations this year from Turner Green to central campus.

“It’s nice because it’s not as enclosed by large buildings,” said Rachelle Robinson, a senior communication major. “It’s

been really well attended.”

Robinson is a member of the Panhellenic Council and said she has worked at the event since it began. She also said it’s good to see how much it has grown.

Joy Stanley, a senior communication major and also a member of the council, said she agreed with Robinson.

“It’s just a way that our community gives back,” Stanley said. “We do it at the beginning of each year, and we just put on a little booth and invite the kids to come out. It’s really great.”

Jones said she thought the outcome was really good and was glad to see that, despite the change of location and cause from the past two years, people still came and supported the community.

“I’m excited to see how many people are here,” Jones said.

“There’s just a really good atmosphere here. Everyone wants to help out. We’ve found a way to make it really fun for everyone, too. You can come out, play games and know that everything is for a really great cause.”

Mandatory meeting for club chartering takes place tonight FIZA JOHARI news@uncmirror.com Clubs are one of the most popular ways to get to know students with similar interests. To meet the financial needs of the clubs, officers and presidents of the organizations must go

Recent ban on burkas affects various issues The recent ban on face coverings in France as part of a campaign to celebrate culture and protect national identity, has stirred up major controversy concerning foreign affairs.

Major arguments regarding this topic have skimmed the surface of feministic perspectives, government security and the possible “weeding out” of foreign customs. Could it be mere patriotism? Or discrimination against a tradition in a religion that has faced major criticism in the last decade?

France’s ban against “burkas,” or face coverings, found itself on

religiously diverse, culturally diverse and ethnically diverse. It would be foolish to put a ban on everything that may be foreign.

Let’s face the facts: People who may not be French by blood can still be considered French citizens. Why should certain religious differences or traditions be banned because they are not part of “original” French culture or are not acts of patriotism? If common ground can be found among all affected by the law, it would lay to rest the controversial talk of “who is right and who is wrong?”

some may be in other Islamic countries), but do, indeed, participate in the tradition because they feel it is their duty as a Muslim. However, there are those who may think that having to wear a face covering is reinforcing misogyny in a male-dominated society. Who is to say who is right and who is wrong? This is where the main question comes in: Was it wrong of France to ban something that is worn every day by many women who practice Islam?

national headlines. This ban reigns as another leading issue in the discussion of foreign policy. With debates regarding immigration in the United States — specifically the changes in Arizona — conversation of all things foreign has found itself in a neckand-neck competition with the ailing economy.

When one sees a woman with a burka on, it is assumed she is a devout Muslim. Many women in the Islamic community, who do not live in an Islamic society, have stated that wearing a burka is their choice. They are not forced to wear burkas (as

forward to: their financial aid disbursements and, for many, their refunds.

According to the Office of Financial Aid website, more than two-thirds of UNC students receive some form of financial assistance. Many of these students receive a refund from their aid.

It’s not too far from the truth to guess that the money students see from their refunds is fleeting, to say the least. Between rent,

bills, books and the endless amount of necessary school supplies, any reserve of funds can quickly dwindle.

And yet, even necessary spending is not enough to explain the truth of quick, careless spending practiced by most college-aged students. For many people, including those who live off their refunds, it is shockingly easy for them to spend money on trivial events and meaningless possessions with no regard to the costs of these expenditures.

College students are notorious for casually spending money— perhaps a result of our age, our naivety and our generation. But increasingly college students incur more and more education debt, a blaring fact that can no longer be ignored.

As any soon-to-be graduate can attest, the prospects of graduation

and the never-ending job search in an ever-looming job market are enough to bring the onslaught of money-anxiety to the forefront of one’s problems.

The average college student will voice many money worries and lose several nights of sleep to stress over money problems throughout their college career. Still, I would venture to say that many of these same students will continue to throw that same money that stresses them out away on the newest fashion they must have, that night-out in Denver they just can’t pass up, or one more late night Starbucks/McDonalds run.

The truth is that all the minor spending that students engage in on a daily basis truly does add up.

That daily coffee? $60 dollars a month. Just one shopping trip probably averages $50 at least. And never saying no to going out—

that’s another $20-$100 a week.

Light spending isn’t actually that light after all.

Rather than wait until the panic of graduation hits, I challenge all students, from freshmen on up, to actually know where their money is going, to know what they’re spending that money, no matter where it came from, on. And remember that even "free" money from the Federal Government will eventually have to be paid back, so make it worth the while.

My point in all of this is simple.

Think before you spend. At the least it will save you those nights of sleepless worrying about where the money for rent will come from. At the most, it could save you a couple years of debt.

Local talent highlights street festivities Bands of various genres play consecutive sets at fourth annual Block Party KRISTEN MARTIN news@uncmirror.com

Community members and UNC students flooded to the stages Friday on 16th Street to rock out to local musical talent and enjoy the many attractions during the fourth annual Block Party.

There were five stages to host 43 bands along the closed off 16th street and part of Ninth Avenue for the main-stage performances. Thousands of people made their way of the stages and the Artist’s Block art sale on Eighth Avenue and 16th Street.

During the last few years,

The Block Party has been a way to immerse students with the Greeley community, as well as help the local businesses along the streets.

The event has also received help from The Atlas Theater.

“We coordinate with UNC to figure out the first Friday when students come back to campus and invite them into the community,” said Eric Long, a member of the Atlas Church, which helped promote the event. “We want them to get a rich college experience.”

Long also said there was a lot of preparation put into the night of entertainment.

I’ve been teaching music at Frontier Academy (high school) for 10 years, and as a teacher, I feel it is my obligation to create opportunities like these to help out my students.

“

— Eric Long, a member of Atlas Church “We had to get every permit conceivable: one for serving alcohol, one to block the street, one for amplified music, as well

as having to obey the noise ordinance and many more,” he said.

“The city was very cooperative.”

Events like these create a lot of opportunities for everyone in the community, especially the musicians who recieve a lot of exposure to new fans.

“I’ve been teaching music at Frontier Academy (high school) for 10 years, and as a teacher, I feel it is my obligation to create opportunities like these to help out my students,” Long said.

The shops on 16th Street stayed open late for the event, as well as provided specials. The chicken mascot from Randy’s Chicken Coop, played by Leon Hernandez, danced on stage with the band In the Whale.

“I love coming out every year

and seeing our local talent,” said Chelsey Linclau, a senior acting and nursing major. “It makes me smile to know that Greeley works to foster the artistic environment.”

Amber Holcomb, a sophomore business administration and criminal justice major, said she loved all the local bands that played live.

“The Block Party definitely brings UNC and Greeley together,” said Leah Alstad, a junior human services major. “This is one event where we can all enjoy ourselves and the local talent shown.”

The Block Party continues to grow every year. And with the help of the Atlas Theater congregation, 16th Street businesses will thrive for yet another year.

Council’s dance night attracts students Club UNC offers evening of social entertainment after first week of class JESSICA GATES news@uncmirror.com

Left to right: Maggie Meneghin, a junior elementary education and Spanish major; Meredith Davis, a freshman nursing major; and Jamie Garin, a freshman nursing major, collect glow sticks Friday during Club UNC in the UC.

Friday night, the University Center Ballrooms were transformed into a dance hot spot as the University Program Council hosted Club UNC. Students were greeted at the doors by UPC members and were given free glow stick necklaces and bracelets. Ashley Cooper, graphic design coordinator for UPC, took pictures of groups of friends as they arrived, all dressed up for a night of dancing.

Through the ballroom doors, attendees were welcomed by the blast of beats from DJ The One, as well as neon and glow-in-the-dark lighting to set the mood for a fun night. The dance floor was packed, and the lounge area with refreshments provided an accessible place for students to take a breather and catch up with friends.

Meghan Nyberg, the arts and

entertainment coordinator for UPC, said council members chose the club theme because they knew a lot of students often go to Denver, Fort Collins or Boulder on the weekends. She said they wanted to give students, especially first-year students, something fun to do for free on the weekend in Greeley.

“We heard the most MIPs are given out the first week of school,” Nyberg said. “We wanted to demote and prevent that before it begins.”

Kevin Parkinson, a freshman pre-business major, said he came to the event because he wanted to have fun. Parkinson said he really liked the event and it had a nice atmosphere to it.

“I think this is a good event because it keeps kids on campus and gives them something else to do besides drink,” he said.

Caitlin McCann, a sophomore American Sign Language major, said even though it started out

slow, a lot more people eventually showed up. McCann said the event was a lot of fun, and the DJ played some awesome music.

“I enjoy dancing, and this was a good wrap-up to the first week of school,” McCann said.

Elizabeth Same, a junior journalism and Spanish major, is a transfer student to the University of Northern Colorado this year and said she decided to come to Club UNC because she loves dancing.

Same said she was really impressed with the event.

“I absolutely love everything UNC has to offer so far,” she said.

“This event is a great way to come out and meet people, and a great way for everyone to get involved.”

At the end of the night Nyberg, said she thought it went really well.

“Whether it’s 200 or 5,000 people here, as long as they’re having fun, it’s a success,” she said.

mandatory informational meeting 5.30 to 7 p.m. today in Columbine B in the University Center.

Katelyn Elliott, the director of Student Organizations, organized the first meeting on Thursday and will host another session today for those who were not able to make the first.

“Students can obtain information on how to charter a club, the requirements, how to receive funding, information about cocurricular transcript, information from the financing office on how club funding works and how the

club account works,” Elliot said.

Elliott also said with the new co-curricular transcript, students can provide documentation of their extracurricular activities. This bolsters students’ transcripts and makes them more marketable.

“The funding process from Fall 2009 to Spring 2010 has changed drastically, and the change from Spring 2010 to Fall 2010 is more of perfecting the funding request system,” Elliott said. “The main difference is that student groups can request for funding every single week if they wanted to instead

of once every fall semester.”

Kayla Narhuminti, a junior social science secondary education and geography major, said in addition to attending classes, getting involved on campus helps enrich students’ university experience. Narhuminti said it is a great way to meet people and learn something new. “(The first meeting) was helpful, and even though I am involved in a few organizations on campus, I was not really familiar with the process of chartering or how organizations were to become official at

UNC,” said Shelby Williams, a junior molecular biology and philosophy major.

Williams also said the meeting was a good way to familiar-

ize herself with the process of starting a club. She also said Elliot was very helpful and informative with familiarizing students with chartering.

Bears come up short against Idaho JORDAN FREEMYER sports@uncmirror.com

The UNC women’s soccer team struggled to finish Friday night, dropping a 3-2 game to the visiting Idaho Vandals at Jackson Stadium.

Forwards Ariel Cook, a junior, and Brittany Dunn, a freshman, scored the University of Northern Colorado’s goals in the 38th minute and 87th minute, respectively.

The scoring opened on an odd play in the 10th minute.

With Idaho (1-2) sophomore forward Jill Flockhart clear of the Bears’ back line, UNC (2-2) junior goalkeeper Kirsten Salminen came nearly 20 yards off of the goal line in an attempt to cut Flockhart off.

However, Flockhart was able to send in a cross that was deflected into the back of the net by UNC junior defender Janelle Kramer, giving

the Vandals a 1-0 lead. “(Salminen) came out to try to get the ball, and when she didn’t it was big trouble,” UNC head coach Tim Barrera said.

Flockhart also played a key role in the Vandals’ second goal, which came in the 23rd minute. She found sophomore midfielder Megan Lopez at the top of the penalty box with a cross, which Lopez cashed in for a 2-0 lead.

Fifteen minutes later, the Bears drew one back, taking advantage of a set piece when Cook headed home junior midfielder Kimmie Fiedler’s corner kick, one of five corners for the Bears before halftime.

“I turned around and the ball was perfectly to my head,” Cook said. “All I had to do was redirect it.”

However, the Vandals’ lead was again expanded to two goals in the 54th minute. Idaho sophomore midfielder Erica Hart ran under a

long ball sent over the UNC defense by sophomore defender Lauren Layton and converted an easy oneon-one with Salminen.

“From then on, we were chasing the game and they were trying to stall — just grab a few seconds here and there whenever they could,” Barrera said.

UNC got it to 3-2 on Dunn’s late goal from the top of the box, but was unable to convert several chances in the waning minutes of the game.

“When we got down, we kept pressuring them and pressuring them, and we finally got one in,” Dunn said.

The loss to Idaho was UNC’s last home game until a contest against New Mexico State on Sept. 24. The gap will be spanned by a six-game road trip.

That trip started on Sunday in Boulder with a 2-0 loss to the Colorado Buffaloes.

Offense returns many starters from last season BEN WARWICK sports@uncmirror.com

The UNC football team may be coming off a season in which it went just 3-8, but expectations are higher for a team that coaches say is very talented offensively.

The biggest question going into fall camp was who would replace starting quarterback Bryan Waggener. That question was cleared up last week when University of Northern Colorado head coach Scott Downing named junior Dylan Orms the leader in the quarterback battle.

While Orms did not start a game under center last season, he isn’t

without playing experience. Orms played in 11 games last year as Waggener’s backup, going 6-for-10 passing for 96 yards and two touchdowns.

“Because of his experience, Dylan probably has an edge on most of them,” Downing said.

Though Orms has been named the leader, Downing said the competition was very close from the first day of fall practice.

“I think we’ve got a very competitive situation,” Downing said. “They each bring some different talents to the table.”

Despite the fact that the quarterbacks have been the dominant story in camp this year, they are not the

only storyline to follow. The Bears receiving corps could be the team’s biggest offensive strength going into the season.

UNC returns most of the receivers who contributed last year, and should have plenty of talent to replace wideout Alex Thompson.

“Losing Alex obviously was a big loss because he was our go-to guy last year. He had a lot of production, but 12 of 13 guys who caught balls last year returned, so I think we’ve got a lot more experience on the field,” Downing said. “We really think this is the strength of our team, and we’re excited about it.”

The Bears have sophomore wide receiver Dominic Gunn and senior

wide receiver Brandon Smith, who both went down with injuries last year, returning to the lineup.

First-year offensive coordinator Greg Peterson said he is happy with the progression of the running game this offseason.

“With Andre (Harris) and Jhamele (Robinson) and our fullbacks, we’ve got some talent in the backfield,” Peterson said. “We can be a one-back team, we can be a two-back team, and those guys can catch the ball in the backfield.”

It’s no secret that UNC’s offense didn’t click on many levels last year, finishing last in the Big Sky in scoring, but Peterson thinks that will change this year.

“From the spring, I thought by the end of the ninth or 10th practice, we started to make strides and understand, and where we’re at right now, we’re leaps and bounds from where we began, and we can be a very, very good offensive football team,” Peterson said.

If the Bears can avoid the injury bug, look for them to improve on last year’s win total, perhaps significantly. UNC could be an offensive force to be reckoned with when Adams State comes knocking at 1:35 p.m.

Sept. 4 at Nottingham Field.

“We haven’t played a game, but I think we have the capability of being a more explosive offense than we were a year ago,” Downing said.

For students who brought a car with them to college, the parking situation can be confusing and expensive; however, if students understand the different violations, parking at UNC can be hassle-free.

An annual parking permit, which is valid for the school year, costs $230. This allows for parking in any student lot around campus. Student lots are marked with a blue sign at the entrance, and faculty lots have a gold sign at the entrance.

Students parking in a faculty lot may find themselves with a ticket on their windshield when they return.

The price of a parking ticket for a majority of infractions is $30. This includes parking in the wrong lot, parking without a permit, parking in a slot with an expired meter and improper parking. If a ticket is paid with-

Stealing or attempting to forge a permit carries a $200-ticket fine, plus a possible $75-boot fee and possible criminal charges. Parking in a fire lane or handicapped slot is a $150 fee, and parking in

a service vehicle spot is $50.

If a ticket is not paid, the bill will be sent to the student bill and a hold will be placed on his or her account, preventing them for registering for classes the following semester.

Steve Dowdy, a security II state employee and lot superintendent, said the most com-

Dowdy said sometimes, students will park there to pick someone up or make a delivery and will return to find a ticket. He also said everyone who conducts business on campus must buy a permit, from students to faculty to

“Parking services does not receive money from the state or from the university to operate,” said Ron Eberhard, the manager of Parking Services. “So the purchase covers the maintenance, the upkeep; everything that goes into having parking lots across campus is what those permits and citation money goes for.”

Eberhard said the recently completed projects included the paving of the Jackson Field parking lot and additional construction of lights, as well as work on the T lot, north of the University Center.

New Gold bus route begins

A Greeley Evans Transit bus sits on the street. Buses similar to this model are used for the Blue and Gold bus routes that go to downtown Greeley and UNC campus. New Gold routes are in effect today.

STAFF REPORT news@uncmirror.com After an unsuccessful first week of the new Blue and Gold bus routes, Student Senate and the Greeley Evans Trasit have established a new set of stops along the campus Gold route, which runs during the day from 7:45 a.m. to 2 p.m. The new stops go into effect today.

The routes were changed when students submitted complaints about the length of waiting time between stops.

The bus routes were initially implemented by the Quality of Life Act, which was voted in favor of last spring by the student body during the Student Senate elections.
