UNC’s president welcomes students to ’09-’10 school year

W

elcome to the start of a new academic year.

It’s reinvigorating to see the new and returning faces that bring campus to life as fall semester gets under way.

Students are the heart of our university and have made it a special place going on 120 years.

In UNC, you’ve chosen wisely.

Our world-class faculty are leaders in their field and committed to providing you with exceptional education

in preparation for the next stage of your life. You’re not treated like a number here.

There are opportunities to work alongside faculty, learning together, on projects that include research that advances human understanding — research that received a record $16.7 million in outside grant funding last year. There also are opportunities to learn away from the classroom through internships and field experiences in your area of study.

Your investment of time, energy and expense in earning a UNC degree furthers personal and professional growth and leads to fulfilling careers in which earning a salary matters, as does making a difference in the lives of those around you. You’ll leave here prepared to be an active and engaged member of your community and leaders in your field: from

education and nursing to business, the sciences and performing and visual arts.

At UNC, we continue to make changes with students in mind. Over the summer, the finishing touches were put on the new West Campus Residence Hall complex. The $58 million, bond-funded project adds the latest amenities in providing more living options in our comfortable learning environment.

It’s true that fiscal challenges remain a reality. I’m pleased to tell you that our Board of Trustees, the university’s governing board, has addressed your investment in education by increasing multi-year scholarships and investing in a sustained commitment to financial aid to help offset adjustments to tuition and fees. Such discounting provides students, many with

the greatest need, the ability to continue the pursuit of their degree.

Finally, I’d like to remind you to get involved. It’s never too early to become an active member of the campus community. Join a campus club or organization, volunteer, attend Bears’ NCAA Division I sporting events, take in guest lectures by notable professionals who regularly visit campus and get out to events offered by the Office of Student Activities. There’s always something going on around campus.

Whatever you choose to do, make the most of your time here. In the blink of an eye, it will seem, you’ll be on stage at graduation.

I look forward to seeing you at campus events throughout the year.

-Kay Norton is the president of UNC.

Learn to balance school, extracurriculars AZHIA LONG arts@uncmirror.com

It is hard for some students to be involved on campus while keeping up with schoolwork.

Many new students may find it hard to balance their class work with their club requirements.

Here are a few helpful hints to help those who need assistance with their organizational skills.

1. Never procrastinate.

The easiest way to overwhelm yourself is to do things at the last minute. The more time people take away from getting class work done, the harder it is to catch up.

Also, doing work at the last minute lowers the quality of the finished product that is assigned… if it actually gets completed.

2. Stay organized. A planner

is the best way to keep up with all of your classes as well as outside activities.

Designate time to do homework, take breaks and attend meetings, class and social arrangements. Writing things down helps with memory slips that may occur and could allow people to have something to refer to if an assignment, meeting or event is taking place.

3. Don’t be afraid to ask for help. Asking for help can save so much time. Time spent on worrying can be used to do something productive. Feelings of being overwhelmed may occur, and if this happens, an appointment with a counselor may be scheduled.

This can help reduce stress levels and get students back on track with their schoolwork.

4. Utilize academic resources. There are so many resources on campus to assist students with any subject. There are tutoring centers located on west campus that may help with coverage on all subjects. Finding resources is not necessarily limited to going to a tutoring center.

Students may approach professors, peers and other faculty members capable of helping out. The beauty of college is that anyone or anything on campus can be used as a resource.

5. Do what interests you. College is about having fun, but students must remember the reason they are here.

They should do things that interest them, but make sure that

whatever they are doing is going to benefit them in some way.

College is all about choices.

Every choice a student makes should benefit him/her. There are times when students will feel stressed out, but once they get into a comfortable routine, things tend to fall into place.

Being around positive people and accomplishing what you came to school for, is key. For more information on how to be a successful student, visit UNC’s Web site www.unco.edu/current.

Survival techniques: 10 tips to surviving hangovers ALEXANDRIA VASQUEZ arts@uncmirror.com

Thunder inside your brain, lead running through your veins and sacrificing the contents of your stomach to the porcelain god. Yes. The infamous hangover. Fear not, for here are some tips to overcome this ailment.

1. Don’t drink in the first place. Just, you know, putting that out there.

2. Hair of the dog. I’ve heard this one a lot. Take a shot of whatever you were overdoing last night, and the hangover will magically go away. This is only true to an extent. Your body will stop beating you up so it can focus on processing the new alcohol, and then you’ll go back to feeling even worse than you did before.

3. Bloody Mary. Same con-

cept as the “hair of the dog” tip, only the tomato juice actually replenishes all those vitamins and minerals you flushed out of your body the night before.

4. Man up. Stay away from those pink concoctions that come complete with the tiny useless umbrella. The sweeter the drink, the more you’ll drink without wanting to stop. The sugar in the drink will also break down the alcohol faster and make everything even worse in the morning. Be a man and drink something that tastes horrible.

5. Don’t mix your alcohols.

Unless you actually like hurling all night.

6. White is right: I know, once you’ve started drinking there comes a point in the night when you cease to care what it is you’re ingesting as long as it gets you faded. That’s fine as long as you remember that clear liquors (vodka) won’t come back to bite you quite as hard the next morning.

7. Take your vitamins. Trust in the almighty powers of The Flinstones. Alcohol tends to rid your body of Vitamin C, so take a few vitamin supplements, and you might feel a little better.

8.Water.Water.Water.

Although it might be a pain, try matching every cup of alcohol with a cup of water. One of the reasons you feel like death is that alcohol dehydrates your body.

The water will flush out all the toxins before they can get to you and slow down the rate at which you drink.

9. Know your body. Duh! If you know you have a tendency to blackout after three shots, then keep it down to two.

Knowing your limits can also drastically decrease the number of “walks of shame” you make.

Just saying.

10. Menudo. The mother of all hangover cures. I don’t care how you feel about a soup made from tripe, also known as stomach meat. It’s delicious and spicy, which will make you sweat and release all those toxins you so willingly imbibed the night before.

Students stay fit at campus rec center CHARLIE CHARBONNEAU sports@uncmirror.com

For incoming freshmen looking for interaction and opportunities to meet new people, the Campus Recreation Center is a readily available place to not only stay fit, but also get acquainted with the UNC community.

The Campus Recreation Center, located on West Campus next to Harrison Hall, serves more than 250,000 students and faculty/staff every year. It is almost 79,600 square feet in size and contains multiple programs for fitness, recreation and wellness.

“The Campus Recreation Center was incredible for me,” junior journalism major Jessica Kenyon said. “It helped me stay in shape during the school year,

and I was able to meet a lot of great people through it.”

The center was once used as part of the training facilities for the Denver Broncos when the team had training camp in Greeley.

There is more than 7,000 feet of space for strength and conditioning, including weight machines, free weights, treadmills, steppers, ellipticals, bicycles and rowing machines.

The recreation center has two multipurpose gyms and an auxiliary gym, with five full-size basketball courts.

Above the main gym is a onetenth of a mile-long track. There are also three racquetball and volleyball courts, as well as an indoor climbing wall, a group fitness and exercise room, locker rooms and meeting spaces.

How to show your roommates you care ALEXANDRIA VASQUEZ arts@uncmirror.com

For all of you freshmen out there, I know you have a lot on your plate. Navigating a new campus, clingy parents not ready to let go and a crazy new course load; it can be a lot. Meeting your roommates for the first time can be scary. Follow these guidelines to being a good roommate and ease away some of that fear.

1

Upon moving in, don’t introduce yourself or make eye contact. Once your roommates come to you, after a prolonged awkward silence, act really excited to finally meet them.

2

Mix up your underwear drawers

and make sure your roommates find out by seeing you in their favorite bras or pairs of boxers. Sharing is caring.

Surprise your roommates with little gifts, such as a bitten apple or broken calculator. Leave them in random places (under pillows or between their sheets is a sure win) so they can feel special and appreciated.

3

4

Make a big deal about having your own personal space.

While your roommates are away from the room, reorganize their desk and change their sheets for them.

5

Lecture your roommates about the dangers of binge

drinking, and then invite them to go down a 40oz with you in the parking lot.

While you’re all in the room, text them insulting and possibly offensive messages. When confronted, act like nothing has happened and deny everything.

6

Do nice things like taking out the trash and making their bed, and then demand compensation.

Nothing in life comes for free, you know.

7

Make sure to bring as many girls or guys back to the room as possible, so that your roommates are fully aware of your player status.

8

Whenever possible, play your music as loud as it can go. You’ll be doing your roommates and everyone else on your floor a favor by exposing them to what is sure to be great taste in music.

9

Invite your roommates to eat with you in the dining hall. While eating, make a point of looking at the time and asking them to hurry up because you have other things to do. You’re a very hot commodity, and they need to realize that.

Textbook shopping: where to buy RUBY WHITE arts@uncmirror.com

School is back in session, classes begin to commence and homework assignments are passed out. There’s also something every professor makes clear each student needs to have; this, of course, would be that heavy, expensive, sometimes not even bound textbook. The question on each student’s mind is “how much are textbooks going to cost me this year?” Well, put your worries aside; here are a few suggestions of places to shop for books.

You might have walked past the Barnes & Noble in the University Center and maybe The Bookstop on 16th Street, and your automatic thought is to buy your textbooks from the book-

stores that are visibly seen. How original. You probably go into Barnes & Noble before you even dream about going to The Bookstop. This is probably because Barnes & Noble is the most central bookstore on campus. Here are some pros about the bookshop: • You can purchase books online and pick them up in the store. (No need for all that backbreaking searching when you can just click on a mouse.)

• Barnes & Noble is closer to campus than The Bookstop.

• Barnes & Noble offers a larger selection of leisure reading material.

There are a few cons about going to Barnes & Noble, as well: • Not every class has a book in that bookstore.

• The used books tend to sell

The Bookstop is located at 931 16th St. and shares a building with Margie’s Java Joint. The Bookstop is open seven days a week. out quickly, and you are mostly left with the more expensive new books.

• The lines can be very long during the first weeks of school.

The cons are not too bad.

Either way, you’re going to end up spending more money in a corporate bookstore. This is a bit different for The Bookstop. The Bookstop is not a corporate store and most professors prefer it to Barnes & Noble. Some pros of The Bookstop are: •Books not found in Barnes & Noble can usually be found in The Bookstop.

•The Bookstop offers students coupons to help them save money and sometimes get back more money.

•The Bookstop shares a building with Margie’s Java Joint, so students can sit and study in a friendly atmosphere.

However, there are cons to The Bookstop, as well: • The Bookstop does not allow buy backs after the add/drop deadline • It is a fair distance away from West Campus.

•Sometimes, required discs are missing from used textbooks.

• The lines can be long in a very small space.

There are also alternative ways to purchase your books: The online world is a great tool for buying books. Sites such as amazon.com, eBay.com and half.com are great ways to get textbooks.

Usually, you can go online and find books that are a lot cheaper than they would be in a physical store. Online bookstores allow bidding for prices and can allow you to sell used books. The cons to buying online are books not arriving on time, lost orders, and/or physical damage that cannot be seen online.

Taking all of this information into consideration, you decide which option works best for you.

Whether it’s taking that long walk to The Bookstop for what you consider a better deal, or waiting an extra two weeks to get a book that was at least $20 cheaper than in Barnes & Noble; either way, to get a good deal you must compare bookstores.

Planning your time wisely in college

JAMES J. WALLACE news@uncmirror.com

Students go into college thinking now is the time in their lives to party and nothing more. Then they realize they have classes, clubs, classes, sports, classes, Greek life and more classes.

The schedule can be overwhelming, but fret not. Being overloaded by college activities will teach you critical skills in time management. Follow these tips and those priorities won’t seem so daunting.

The best thing you can do is get a calendar. If an important date is approaching, write it down. If you have a phone or

computer with a calendar application on it, list it in there, too.

If you have a roommate or girlfriend/boyfriend, tell them as well, so they’ll badger you about it. Little reminders written on scraps of paper, or your hand, help immensely.

Plan ahead. If you have a 10-page paper due at 8:30 in the morning Friday, don’t start it at 11:30 p.m. Thursday.

When you get the assignment on Monday, set a goal to do a certain number of pages a day.

It’s easier to bang out those last couple pages Thursday night as opposed to the whole 10-page assignment.

Lists are helpful tools, so use them. You’ll be able to manage

your time better if you know exactly where to go, what to do and what you need at the store.

Going back to the phone and the computer, use the calendar or a daily planner application to help schedule everything that needs to be done.

The Internet, although incredibly awesome and useful, is a massive timewaster. You’ll

be online searching for books for five minutes, and the next thing you know, you’ll have wasted an hour looking at funny photo galleries at thechive.com. Limit your time online to three 20 minute sessions in the morning, noon and at night.

Do not overload yourself.

Don’t try to write up 20 essays, attend three club meetings and attempt to climb up Ross Hall in one day. Time management also involves scheduling in a few breaks for yourself so you can sleep and eat and try to develop a social life.

-- James J.Wallace is a senior journalism major at UNC, and a news staff writer for The Mirror.

Ten commandments of what not to put on your dorm door SEAN BROOKOVER news@uncmirror.com

1. Pictures of your girl, girlfriend, wife, fiancee, boo or shawty-lo.

It creates unnecessary hormonal frustration among male conversation. Here is an example: “Daaannnggg. Shawty lookin’ good in them jeans! I’m bouts to holla at that, bro!”

2. Pictures of contraband narcotics, like influential rap/hip-hop superstars of our nation so boldly sport.

Your RA, betrayer or tattletale would most likely find this displeasing. It may be the cows grinding on the nerves, but it seems displeasing an almighty being who has control over hall privileges may be a bad idea.

3. Letters from family, especially the mom and grandma.

Such artifacts create

potential harm for the student bearing them. Such harm can include, but not limited to, verbal abuse, heehees and hahas, and rumors pertaining to the student’s “momma’s boy” status.

4. “No soliciting” home stickers.

All these stickers do is turn away anyone wanting to purchase your home due to depreciated value. On another note, half of society today does not know what “soliciting” means.

5. Posters of Britney Spears past age 20.

She just went downhill from there.

Let’s remember the good years.

6. All things Jonas.

The Jonas Brothers will be the downfall of this nation.

Buildings will crumble, fire will rage and gravity will cease to exist if this catastrophe is allowed to continue.

7. Signs pertaining to ownership of a room: “KRAY-

OLA’S ROOM -- INTRUDERS WILL BE KOLORED ON.” Such signs/posters are so last year, and anyone seen displaying such items shall have his/her street credit removed forever. As some may or may not know, popularity means everything.

8. White erase boards or other items of the like displaying one’s mood of the day.

Such things are better left to Facebook or MySpace for obvious reasons.

9. Old-school methods of signing to the roommate about sexual activity or the like occurring in the room, such as the tie on the door.

Well, in times such as these where creepers, peepers and tweakers run all about, it would be smart to explore options of conveying such important information through more privatelyknown methods.

10. Holiday decorations, if you are too lazy to take them down after said holiday has passed.

It makes the real holiday much more depressing. Walking around the neighborhood and getting into the Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanz aa spirit is much harder when everyone around is still celebrating Halloween.

Basic essentials of college living AMBER BAILLIE news@uncmirror.com It’s time to go to college, but you don’t know what to bring. You’ve checked off all the necessities: clothes, computer, bedding, laundry items, toiletries, decorations and electronics. Everything is packed, and you’re ready to journey on to the next stage of your life. Before you hit the road, let me share with you some important items that tend to go unnoticed when living the college lifestyle.

1. Always have quarters.

Laundry machines in college are almost never free and

don’t take credit cards. Make sure to always have them on hand, so you’re able to wash your clothes when needed, as well as those dirty sheets you’ve ignored for a couple weeks. They could use some soap and water. Quarters are also convenient when hunger cravings strike. They allow you to buy snacks and drinks from the vending machines on campus. Whether you’re running late for class and need a quick bite to eat or thirsty from a long day of errands,

Finally...

spare change is great for feeding an appetite. Quarters are also an excellent resource when you need to copy something from the library.

Copies are usually 10 cents per page, but if you absolutely need to have something coppied before class, you’ll be glad you have the insurance of coins jingling in your pocket.

2. Air fresheners and disinfectant sprays are crucial when sharing a space. While living in a dorm, you’re bound to have roommates.

Just because you like things to smell nice doesn’t mean others feel the same way. You’d be surprised by the smells that your roommates can generate, and it’s good to prepare yourself for anything. Don’t be afraid to breathe and keep the Febreze bottle close to you at all times. Air fresheners are great for covering up those unwanted odors, and disinfect sprays help eliminate germs.

3. Buy a USB flash drive.

It’s important to save your work on something other than just your computer. There are times when you will put hours into finishing your assignments. There’s no telling what would happen if a paper didn’t save and you were forced to redo it.

Spare the temper tantrum and tears by saving it onto your thumb drive. You also never

know when your printer will have issues. By saving your work on the USB, you’re able to print your assignments at the library if you need to.

4. Buy sticky notes or a planner.

College is about balancing your time and evening out work and play. Deadlines and social opportunities will constantly come up, and the only way to keep track of your schedule is to continually remind yourself. Sticky notes are great visual reminders for remembering tasks. Planners enable you to keep track of dates and organize your schedule from day to day.

5. Stay caffeinated. Ideally, it would be great to perfectly prioritize your time while in college, so you’re able to have fun with your friends, always complete your assignments on time and get at least eight hours of sleep each night.

Realistically, that just doesn’t happen in a typical college student’s schedule where procrastination and late nights occur. Try not to drink too much caffeine, but just enough to boost your productivity. Drink caffiene from a reliable product; energy drinks are expensive and have many unnecessary ingredients that weigh you down.

Not a sexy town, but that’s OK with me Eric HEINZ

A

t first glance, you may feel like you’re headed to the middle of nowhere. For those who have just arrived, if you still believe what your friends have told you about Greeley, you are about to be surprised. At UNC, you are guaranteed to find something of interest.

My father once told me, “Greeley is not a sexy town.”

And he was right. Apart from the campus, there isn’t much in this town, unlike Boulder or Fort Collins, and I see this as a benefit. I chose to come to this

university because of the temperate social environment — dealing with delinquents is rare and intelligent conversation is plentiful.

I am not saying this school is immune to distraction. During my first year at the University of Northern Colorado, I saw dozens of my friends expelled or flunked out due to lack of motivation and unwillingness to adapt to the college lifestyle.

This year will also see an inevitable drop in students after the first semester. Make

sure you’re not one of them.

From what I’ve seen, students who come to UNC are looking for a nonstereotypical social college experience: They don’t want to be lumped together in classrooms of more than 200 people; they typically have specific goals in mind for their future, and they possess positive attitudes and a strong appetite for what the university has to offer in academics.

With the right mindset, Greeley will be everything you seek in a college experience. Students

who have been here for years would agree there are times when it feels like you’ve dropped off the map, especially if you’re from a large city. It’s these times you must remember why you decided to come here in the first place, remembering the dream you set out to achieve. These are your moments in history — don’t waste them.

Begin handling yourself in a professional manner. As ambassadors of not only your school but also your family and yourself, it is time to start the process of becoming a proficient member of society. Welcome to UNC. -- Eric Heinz is a senior pre-journalism major the news editor for The Mirror.
