The holiday season cameand went but not withoutorganizations at UNC takingaction to bring joy to those inneed.
Several fundraisers and proj-ects were implemented to raisemoney and collect toys to giveto children throughout theWeld County area.
Last semester, students mayhave noticed Christmas trees inthe University Center, the
Women’s Resource Center,Turner Hall, North Hall andboth dining halls. These treeswere decorated with tags con-taining information about chil-dren and what they wanted forChristmas.
Students were given the oppor-tunity to buy gifts for children andbring them to the StudentActivities Office, located on thesecond floor of the UniversityCenter. The Salvation Army thenpicked up the gifts and deliveredthem to children in Weld County.Hundreds gave provisions for
about 500 children in need.“I loved helping put on this
event because even though wewere unable to see the faces ofthese children when theyreceived a gift this Christmas, itwas nice to feel like you didsomething to help, and the stu-dents were very generous intheir gift giving,” said ChristyHarms, the coordinator for theGiving Tree program throughthe Salvation Army. “Just know-ing you helped a child in needwarms your heart.”
Other organizations, such asthe Nu Alpha Kappa fraternity
and the Cesar Chavez CulturalCenter, did their part to helpthe community as well by par-ticipating in an Adopt-A-Childprogram that provided gifts for50 disadvantaged youths inGreeley. They also gift-wrappedseveral presents for charity.
The College of Educationand Behavioral Sciences alsoshowed their participation bydonating presents to childrenin Weld County School District6, donating about 670 presents.
Additionally, a new photo-graphic imaging group on cam-pus, Behind the Lens, took part
in Help-Portrait. Help-Portraitis a global movement to usephotography in a way that helpsthose in need.
The idea is simple: take aportrait of someone in need.This could be a homeless per-son, neighbor, friend or familymember. Then, print the pictureand deliver it to them personal-ly. The organization’s motto isabout giving being more thansimply delivering a picture;hope is provided in the process.
For further information aboutthe goal of this movement, visitthe Help-Portrait website atwww.helportrait.com.
“Behind the Lens attractedover 36 volunteers and providedportraits of 128 individuals in 44families,” said Nantena Beller,president of Behind the Lens.
The organization receiveddonations from local business-es, and skilled professionalsgave their time to be part of theevent, which was hosted inGray Hall.

Student Senate Update
SARA VANCLEVEn e w s @ u n c m i r r o r . c o m
During the first meeting of2011, UNC’s Student Senatepassed one proposal, tabledanother and listened to a guestpresentation from the vice pres-ident of University Relations.
The Senate looked at twoproposals, both of whichentered their third and finalreading.
Proposal 13 proposed changesto the application process ofreceiving funding and grants foracademic conferences.
Representative KelseyMurray of the Residence HallAssociation proposed anamendment to Section 3, LetterF of Proposal 13. This amend-ment sought to require a facultymember to sign a fundingapplication, verifying that the
conference a student is attend-ing is academic in nature.
Murray motioned that therequirement be changed tostate that a faculty or staffmember be required to sponsorthe student’s conference grantapplication. After discussion,Senate voted and the amend-ment failed; however, Proposal13 was passed.
Proposal 14 proposedchanges to the StudentOrganizational Team, includingchanging the name to theStudent Organization Boardand providing funds to paymembers of the team for theirwork.
Paige Lewkow, director ofDiverse Relations, motioned totable Proposal 14, and themotion was seconded. Senatewill vote on the proposal at alater time.
Vice President of UniversityRelations Chuck Leonhardtgave Senate members an in-depth look at UNC’s brandingcampaign and listened to sug-gestions from Senate membersas to what should be added totheir campaign.
“We had some very specificobjectives in mind,” Leonhardtsaid. “We want to raise aware-ness of the university, so whenpeople think of what universitythey want to be a part of, theythink of us. We want people tounderstand why we are a viableand a strong option, who weare, what we represent and whythey would want to come here.Last, we want to engage stu-dents, future students, alumniand the community at everylevel.”
Leonhardt said UniversityRelations is working on an inte-
grated marketing projectbetween the colleges anddepartments so the same mes-sage is sent across campus.
UNC also relies on mediacoverage such as the recentcoverage on FOX News of pro-fessor Stephen Mackessy’s workwith snake venom in develop-ing a new cancer drug. Out ofthe press coverage UNCreceives, 60 percent is positiveand 85 percent is published byprint media.
University Relations is alsousing newer technology in theirpromotions, such as a revisedhomepage and social mediasites like Facebook and Twitter.
Election’s CouncilCommissioner Danielle Morgansaid the council is currentlylooking for voting assistants forStudent Senate elections for the2011-12 academic year.
Elections will be the week ofApril 11.
Representatives and direc-tors also reported on theirrespective projects and coun-cils. Salynthia Collier, thedirector of Student Affairs, saidshe is working toward finding adaycare provider for the chil-dren of UNC students at a dis-counted rate.
Evan Welch, Student Senateadviser, said four candidateshave been interviewed for theposition of director of CareerServices.

What has happened in thepast century? People ordermovies from computers, babieshave cell phones and parentsschedule cesarean sections tochoose zodiac signs for theirchildren. “What’s that last one?”you may ask yourself.
It may be that this craze hasbeen around for longer than theyear 2000, but in today’s world,it is a way of birth that hasbecome increasingly popular inplaces like Hong Kong, SouthKorea, Japan and Thailand. It issaid that up to 70 percent ofpatients in certain Indian hospi-
tals have opted to have cesareansections in order to control theirchildren’s astrological signs.
It’s not that this isn’t aninsanely creative idea; itdeserves some credit. But whenastrology goes from simple,maybe-fake predictions to peo-ple micro-managing their off-spring’s potential, things getinteresting. It calls to question ifsome people may have had abad experience with a Leo andthey wouldn’t be able to standthe sight of one even if it wastheir own child. Maybe somedesire “Stepford” families that
possess perfect compatibility.These reasons seem thoughtfulenough, but messing with des-tiny has never proved to be astrategic decision.
The web has been abuzz withnews of a mysterious addition tothe familiar 12 astrologicalsigns. Ophiuchus, the newestsign, takes over Nov. 29-Dec. 17,providing many shifts to the restof the calendar. For example,people who would have beenSagittarians may now beOphiuchus, and those who wereAquarius may now be Pisces.But don’t run to change your
tattoos just yet — changes in theEarth’s alignment only affectinfants born after 2008.
It seems the life-savingadvancement of technologyinvented centuries ago is nowbeing used as genetic engineer-ing by starry-eyed expectingparents. But the main questionis are parents taking things toofar in order to create the perfectchild? If planning a birth metic-ulously is the number-one pri-ority in a family, some parentsmay want to take a good look atwhat’s best for their child, nottheir astrological hobbies.

If you have been to theCampus Recreation Center oflate, you may have noticed thatthe once-peaceable arena nowbustles with people like thestreets of New York. This can eas-ily be attributed to all those con-founded New Year’s resolutionspeople are so fond of making.
For my part, I must confessthat the purpose of a New Year’sresolution eludes me. It’s not thatI dislike self improvement — I canthink of several people off the topof my head right now who couldstand to self-improve.
Nonetheless, if you find with-
in yourself a habit or trait thatcauses you dismay, it would bebest to make some movement tofix it right there on the spotinstead of waiting for the newyear and clogging the gyms ofAmerica with your well-meantbut short-lived ambitions.
Now, I understand that wecan’t just wish away pounds ordebt or what have you, but I dohave a couple tried and truemethods for personal progres-sion, which have worked won-ders in my life.
The first method is to makelike an infant and take little babysteps. People often become dis-couraged when they feel theirgoals are not being accomplishedquickly enough and give up,when most goals, such as weightloss, academic improvement,financial management, quitting
cigarettes, career advancement,attitude adjustment, spendingmore time with friends and fami-ly, etc., are perfectly achievable.It just takes time and consistenteffort to get there.
Start off with a reasonablysmall adjustment, something youknow you could live with forever,and make that a habit. Then, littleby little, make changes in your lifeto help you get to your goal.Eventually, you will see a muchmore permanent solution to whatonce seemed to be a huge prob-lem, and you can slowly hem inthe edges until your life is perfectlytailored to suit your ideals.
If you attempt this and do notfeel an increase in satisfaction,then the time has come to admitthat you are a decadent heathenand that hedonism becomes youto such a degree that there can be
no reformation, or you would loseall your charm and lust for life.This is very good news for mebecause though I am tardy, lack-adaisical, grouchy, sarcastic,impetuous and irresistibly attract-ed to junk food, the loss of thesefine and noble traits may very wellbe the death of me.
The pursuit of self-satisfactionincludes both change and accept-ance. If something is negativelyaffecting your esteem, career, rela-tionships, and/ or liver, you woulddo well to think of removing it. Butyou must never think of polishingall your naughtiness away —imperfections are an innate part ofus all, and half of the time they’reall I truly admire about a person.

Reading into life lessonsProfessor authors book on valuesSARA VANCLEVE
n e w s @ u n c m i r r o r . c o m
In an effort to reinforce old-fashioned values in an ever-changing world, a UNC professorshares stories of hardships andhow they were overcome in anewly published book.
James Elsberry, an executiveprofessor in the Monfort Collegeof Business, authored “The Powerof Doing the Right Thing: FindingSuccess through a Values-DrivenLife” with his brother, clergymanTerence Elsberry.
The book shares stories ofpeople who have faced adversityand situations and were still ableto be successful through living avalue-driven life. Some of thepeople went through the GreatDepression and a World Warwhile others were faced with can-cer or were restricted to a wheel-
chair. The one commonalitybetween them all was that theywere able to face their adversitiesand come out of them successful.
Elsberrysaid a value-driven life isone thatconsists ofi n t e g r i t y ,p e r s e v e r -a n c e ,h u m i l i t y ,opt imism,faith andhard work;h o w e v e r ,living avalue-driv-en life does not mean that life willbe perfect.
His book provides guidanceon how to survive misfortunesand tragedies, keep hope alive,become the person others needand want, and enjoy the rewardsof living life with such values.
Elsberry said one of his mottosis in the title of the book.
“My motto is ‘Do the rightthing,’ he said. “More oftenthan not, that means workinghard at accomplishing some-thing. It might be a job or rais-ing a family or creating the nextFacebook — anything of lastingvalue requires work.”
Elsberry worked as a newspa-per publisher and magazine edi-tor before he began teaching atthe University of NorthernColorado.
“With more than 30 years inpublishing under my belt, I couldprobably fill several books withlessons learned from that career,”Elsberry said. “Certainly therewards and requirement for hardwork is one of those lessons.”
Elsberry said many collegestudents are given a bad reputa-tion because they are raised in the“entitlement generation” thatthinks it should have everythinghanded to them without having towork for it. But he said he seescollege students differently.
“If that’s true, I see plenty ofexceptions in my classes,” hesaid. “If others of their genera-tion aren’t willing to work,those who will work hard willhave a great advantage in life.Often, it’s not the smartest ormost talented who win in life; itfrequently is those who workthe hardest.”
“The Power of Doing theRight Thing: Finding Successthrough a Values-Driven Life” isavailable at Woody’s News Standin Greeley and online atXlibris.com, Amazon.com orBarnesandNoble.com.
James Elsberrysaid misconcep-tions about entitle-ment are commonin the college arena.

The UNC women’s basket-ball team overpowered Big SkyConference foe Portland State,72-60, behind a pair of career
nights lastnight atB u t l e r -H a n c o c kS p o r t sPavilion.
T h eUniversity of NorthernColorado (7-9, 2-1) was led bysophomore forward LaurenOosdyke and her career-high 28points on 10-for-15 shooting.Oosdyke also gave UNC its first
seven points of the game. “I was glad my dad was here
to see it,” Oosdyke said. “Heflew from California.”
Also with a record night wasjunior forward Kaisha Brown,with a career-best 10 rebounds.Brown also tallied seven points.The Bears as a team tookadvantage of their 17 offensiverebounds by posting 12 second-chance points and 44 points inthe paint. UNC out-reboundedPortland State (7-8, 0-2) 45-29for the game.
Freshman guard D’sharaStrange started the second halfwith two free throw shots, andthe Bears built their lead fromthere. UNC led by as many as 18
in the game.“For me, coach talked about
attacking,” Strange said. “Iwanted to just run and attackthem.”
The Bears’ defense steppedup noticeably in the win. Theteams were tied six times in thefirst half, but UNC preservedthe lead throughout the secondhalf. Toward the end of the firststanza, the Bears led by asmany as 14, and went into thelocker rooms with a 38-28advantage.

It was not always pretty, butit was a win for the UNC men’sbasketball team, as the defenseheld Idaho State to a dismal 25percent shooting effort to stay aperfect 5-0 in the Big SkyConference with a 57-37 victoryThursday night at Butler-Hancock Sports Pavilion. Theteam has won its last five gamesin a row.
The University of NorthernColorado (9-7, 5-0) trailed onceat 5-4 early on, but a 9-0 runcapped off by a 3-pointer byredshirt freshman Tate Unruhstretched the lead to 13, forcingthe Bengals (5-11, 1-3) to takean early timeout.
Offensively, UNC struggledthe majority of the night withtimely shooting and ball control.The Bears surrendered 14turnovers compared to 11assists. UNC, coming into thegame ranked fourth in the nation
in free throw shooting, alsostruggled from the charity stripe,going just 7-14 on the night.
“Sometimes, the shots arejust not going to fall, so tonightit came down to defense, andthat’s something we’ve tried tohang our hat on this season,”senior guard Devon Beitzelsaid.
The Bears’ defense respond-ed all night to make up for theoffensive lapses. UNC forced 15turnovers and held the Bengalsto just 10 percent shootingfrom three-point distance. ISUcouldn’t buy a basket in thesecond half, as it scored justthree field goals during the first11 minutes.
“We have to rely on ourdefense because at the end ofthe day, defense wins games,”sophomore guard Elliott Lloydsaid. “Our defense helps createour offense, so we have to focusin for forty minutes a night.”
Lloyd finished with a team-high 11 points.
Also not lost on the night
was the play of the Bears’bench, as the reserves scored22 points on the night andhelped aid the offense as seniorforward Chris Kaba was heldscoreless in limited playingtime due to foul trouble.
“They were great, and I thinkit’s really important they getmore experienced the fartherwe go this season,” Bears’ headcoach B.J. Hill said.
UNC will now go back on theroad after its three-game homestand, as the Bears will take onSacramento State nextThursday. The Bears are a per-fect 6-0 at the friendly confinesof Butler-Hancock SportsPavilion, but Hill said he hopesthat intensity is not lost on theroad.
“I just hope they keep thathunger, that sense of urgencythat they had after they gottheir butts whooped in the firstpart of December,” Hill said. “Ifthey’re mature enough to keepthat mentality, this team can dosome good things.”

Wrestling prepares for weekend dualsTARIQ MOHAMMAD
s p o r t s @ u n c m i r r o r . c o m
After a respectable showing atthe Utah Valley dual Jan. 8, theUNC wrestling team is looking tocarry some momentum into theLone Star Duals today andSaturday in Grand Prairie, Texas.
The University of NorthernColorado will face Arizona State,Appalachian State and TheCitadel during the meet.
Arizona State comes into thedual featuring seniors AnthonyRobles, who is ranked No. 3 inthe 125-pound weight class byInterMat.com, and BubbaJenkins, who is ranked fourth in
the 157-pound division. TheCitadel boasts TurtogtokhLuvsandorj, a sophomoreranked No. 10 in the 165-poundweight class.
The Bears faced No. 5 BoiseState and No. 15 Nebraska earlierin the season, and despite losing,members of the team said theexperience was invaluable.
“Ranked Nebraska and BoiseState are great teams for us towrestle because it helps us knowwhat to expect toward the end ofthe year,” junior Casey Cruz said.
UNC head coach BenCherrington said the team hashad some wrestlers quit theteam, and have experiencedsome injury and eligibility issues
r e c e n t l y ,which hasmade piec-ing togetherc e r t a i nw e i g h tclasses dif-ficult.
“We’re ina tough partof the sea-son whereour walk-onplayers thatwe hadhoped to stick it out for the fullseason quit,” Cherrington said.“It’s tough to come in everydayand get your head beat in forfree, essentially, and when it’s
unlikely that they will be step-ping on the mat for a varsity sin-gle. Unfortunately, this year, wehad a significant drop-off innumbers at the Christmas break,which has left us with a lack ofdepth in the 141 and 184 weightclasses.”
Starting wrestler Eric Brennan,a senior, who wrestled in the 184-pound slot, was injured lastMonday. Although these injureshave hurt the team, individualperformances have still kept theteam competitive. Senior All-American Justin Gaethje, who wasineligible for unspecified reasonslast semester, said he will stillcontinue to push the rest of theteam and is hopeful it can get past
the injuries.“A couple bumps in the road,
hopefully, will prove to be benefi-cial in the long run,” Gaethje said. “Ican’t be satisfied until my ultimategoal, which is winning a nationalchampionship for the UNC Bears,is reached.”
The Bears start their portion ofthe meet against Arizona State at 10a.m. today.
Justin Gaethjesaid he hopes tobring UNC anational champi-onship. Next Dual:

Bears’ defense seals victoryfoul, don’t put them on the freethrow line.”
The Bears kept PortlandState’s leading scorers in check,allowing junior guard Eryn Jonesto just five points on 2-for-10
shooting for the game. “We make sure we always know
who all the shooters, and who theirbest scorers are,” Oosdyke said.“For each shooter we had differentdefensive schemes.”
Strange finished with 15points, six rebounds and twosteals, and as one of five newmembers to the team, White saidStrange is part of a growing,young team who has cometogether in a way that has bene-fited the team’s playing.
“I thought they played reallywell together,” White said. “Wehad 12 assists, and I thought theymade some good passes.”
With the win, the Bears are nowfourth in the Big Sky, behind
Eastern Washington, who theBears will host at 2 p.m. Saturdayat Butler-Hancock Sports Pavilion.
apart from those in previous yearswas more inter-campus involve-ment.
“This year’s UNC Day has a peprally format,” Haas said. “Both theboys’ and girls’ athletics are repre-sented. Also the band and cheer-leaders are there.”
The hundreds of students inattendance had a variety of enter-tainment to partake in, includingphoto booths, food, item give-aways and socialization.
“I think school spirit is showingpride in your university,” saidAngie Nolen, a freshman graphicdesign major. “One thing thatcould make it better, though, is
having a live band performancefrom my favorite, A Moment’sNotice.”
Students said there are a coupleof other things that could improveUNC Day.
“There wasn’t enough lightingin the UC Ballrooms,” freshmanundeclared major Keith Cook said.“There needs to be more light.”
UNC Day was a great successpartially because the students whoattended said they loved the freefood.
“What’s good about UNC day isthe free food,” Nolen said.
Although UNC Day didn’t havea live band performance, it didhave a ton of items that showcasestudents’ school spirit.
“I think the best part aboutUNC Day is to be around the com-
munity,” said Gabe Christie, afreshman history major. “Schoolspirit is all about love for our fellowstudents.”
There are different views ofschool spirit, though. Sometimes, ithas nothing to do with the school,but the community.
“I think school spirit is pride forthe university, but also friendshipand enjoying the great atmos-phere,” Cook said.

refreshments and booths fromdifferent businesses aroundGreeley that catered to wintersports. One of the businesseswas Blacklist, which displayed abooth with fliers and other infor-mation about how to getinvolved in winter sports.
The day of activities waswell advertised and many stu-dents said they were curiousabout what this event was allabout. Brittney Schorzman, thepublic relations and marketingdirector for the UniversityProgram Council, was in charge
of the advertising.Schorzman said the UPC put
up posters all over campus andadvertised the event on theirwebsite. Schorzman also saidthere were banners hung up inboth Holmes Dining Hall andTobey-Kendel Dining Room.Word of mouth was also anotherway that people heard about thisevent.
Winter Bear Fest Snow Daywas also advertised at the UNC’sGot Talent the night before.More than 650 people attendedthe talent show.
This event was created to givethe students an opportunity for afun new event that theUniversity of Northern Coloradocould continue in the future. Itwas a great way to welcome newand returning students back forthe spring semester.
“Nothing like Snow Day hasbeen done before, and UPC isproud to have introduced some-thing new and creative,”Schorzman said.
Maddie Miller, a freshmanmajoring in pre-nursing, said theinner tube hill was especially
entertaining. She was also a vol-unteer for the day. Miller saidthe main purpose for this eventwas for students to have a goodwelcome back and to give them abreak from the first hectic weekof school.
Some daring participantsventured onto the inner tubehill, and even though theyseemed skeptical at first, anatmosphere of jubilationspread over the event. Thoughsome took a tumble, they pro-ceeded to return to the hill foranother run.
