The UNC baseballteam lost its firstseries in almost amonth againstSeattle. Read atwww.uncmirror.com
Due to events that havetranspired during the last fivemonths, now more than evercounseling professionals atUNC and in Greeley want stu-dents to be aware ofresources available to thoseconsidering suicide and theirpeers.
Keith Wawrzyniak, theproject coordinator inWeld county for ProjectSafety Net for the ColoradoOffice of SuicidePrevention, says uniquerisks of suicide are associ-ated with college students.
“The academic issues, therelationships issues, socializa-tion and drinking and party-ing, but I think a compilation
of all the above is when it hits,”Wawizyniak said. “College isentering a new world, and allthose things eventually hityou and you have to deal withthem. I don’t know if there areany preparations a studentcan make before coming tocollege, but preparation onceyou get there is to know whatresources you have for sup-port … and being able to askfor help.”
According to theAmerican Association ofSuicidology, people betweenthe ages of 15-24 in Coloradocommit suicide at an 18.4percent rate per 100,000 pop-ulation — the seventh highestin the United States in 2009.The Office of SuicidePrevention noted that in
Colorado in 2010-11, suicidewas the second-leading causeof death for young people.
“To me, that shows thatnot only can we all be at riskat some point depending oncircumstances, but at somepoint we will all be in contactwith someone at risk:friends, family, neighbors orstrangers,” said Karyn Poole,a fourth-year Ph.D. studentin psychology. Poole advisedstudents to avoid thebystander effect and take anactive role in helping a friendwho may be depressed orconsidering suicide.
Wawrzyniak says that fivepercent of the populationthinks about suicide at somepoint in their lives, and thatrate is higher for college andhigh-school students.
“There’s a stigma withmental health issues and sui-cidal ideation that peoplehesitate, and society doesn’taccept talking about suicideor isn’t comfortable with thetopic,” Wawrzyniak said.
That social taboo is amajor issue in suicide preven-tion techniques today, andovercoming it is the first stepin decreasing the rate nation-wide, says Renee Gilkey, astaff psychologist at theCounseling Center at theUniversity of NorthernColorado.
“Here at UNC, we’ve loststudents recently, so (suicide)is taboo and people have a dif-ficult time talking about it,”Gilkey said. “But if we can getpeople talking about it, we canrealize at some point in ourlives, we’ve all felt over-whelmed or that there’s noway out. But by being able tosay that it’s a real thing andrecognizing that life is some-
times overwhelming, we canhelp people feel more com-fortable talking about suicide.”
Wawrzyniak agrees, andsays that initiating conversa-tion is the best way a studentcan help his or her friendsfind help and stop consider-ing suicide.
“The biggest issue is thatstudents are afraid to ask theirfriends if they’re thinkingabout killing themselves,” hesaid. “They’re just looking forsomeone to open that door sothey know it’s OK to talkabout.”
Training is available forstudents, resident assis-tants and other members ofthe community who havean active role communicat-ing with people in high-stress situations. Recently,Wawrzyniak and Poole tookan active role in bringingASIST Training to UNC, aprogram that teaches par-
ticipants to connect, under-stand and assist a personwith suicidal ideations. InSeptember, Project SafetyNet will again be offeredalong with QPR (Question,Persuade, Refer) Training.
Though Gilkey said stu-dents should not blamethemselves if a friend com-mits suicide, being availableas a resource and to directfriends to counseling cansave lives. Those who arehaving suicidal thoughtsshould also be proactive inseeking assistance.
“We need to recognize thebig picture and that totalhealth is not only physicalhealth but also includes men-tal health, and looking at aholistic picture of health … torecognize we all go through arange of emotions and shouldnot be afraid about openingup about needing help,” shesaid.

On Saturday, a host of highschool juniors invaded UNC forJunior Days, a marketing ploywherein high school students andtheir parents visit the University ofNorthern Colorado to see if it is the“right fit.”
One of the activities for parentsand students at the event wasmeeting UNC faculty in theUniversity Center Ballrooms to dis-cuss potential majors.
The top question on every par-ent’s and student’s mind was“What can you do with thatdegree?”
This is an asinine question
because students do not attendcollege to study a potential career.One does not major in one specificjob.
The goal of any college majorshould be to teach students tothink and write well, and those arethe most important skills withwhich one can graduate. They arerare skills, too. If a person can thinkcritically, can look at a problemand determine a viable solution toit and can communicate intelli-gently, then he or she is a primecandidate for any job.
True, individuals who chosemajors that lead to professional
careers — business, engineeringand education — are looking forspecific jobs. Most people are notthat specific, nor should they be.
In an AOL Jobs article, SteveLangerud, director of professionalopportunities at DePauwUniversity, is quoted as saying,“What I hear from employers ingreater numbers than ever is thatcandidates are not their majors.(Employers) are seeking talent firstand then majors.”
Langerud goes on to assert thatcollege graduates live in a talenteconomy, so a graduate’s talentsare what get him or her a job.
Often, these talents are developedseparate from a one’s major courseof study.
To an extent, it is unfair tomake 17-year-olds think abouthow they want to spend their pro-fessional lives. Most professionals,middle-aged men and women, fre-quently change careers becausethey feel uneasy.
A college major does not trap aperson into one career; it is notdestiny.
However, the truth of the mat-ter is that the individual and his orher skills are more important thanwhat he or she majors in.
Academic majors should not define skill set, job applicant
The Student Senateelections start tomor-row, and as nice as it
will be to graduate this year, Iam disappointed that I cannothave a more active role in thiselection and that the candidateturnout is so dismal.
The nice thing is, though, thatwith historically low voter turnoutrates, those of us who do vote canhave a large influence on the elec-tion’s result.
For those of you who don’tknow, the Student Senate con-trols where close to $1.5 milliongoes. That’s enough for you tohave a vested interest in who
wins the election.I wrote a column last November
about how Facebook posts can beincriminating. In this case,Facebook was instrumental in nar-rowing down my vote.
Here’s a list of people I don’tvote for:
I don’t vote for people who putas their political views “I like to par-rtttyyy” or believe they are “the(expletive).” I don’t vote for peoplewho are unable or unwilling to dif-ferentiate between “your” and“you’re.” I don’t vote for peoplewho flip off the camera and, indi-rectly, me.
Off Facebook, I don’t vote forpeople who show up in basketballshorts to formal candidate events orpeople who don’t even bother toshow up to said events withouthaving a good reason.
I don’t vote for people whocan’t capitalize an opponent’s
name, who claim divine knowledgeof a candidate’s thoughts or whocommit more than 80 semanticand factual errors in a one-pagewritten grievance against anothercandidate.
Other things equal between twocandidates, I don’t vote for peoplewho are pursuing bachelors’ of artsdegrees who run for academicaffairs and I don’t vote for peoplefor finance if their majors aren’tfinance related.
I have higher expectations forGreek candidates. This is largelybecause Student Senate is dispro-portionately represented by Greekindividuals by an overwhelmingamount and because many (butnot all) Greek individuals ride inalong a Greek ticket with hardly anycampaigning. That’s not to say Iwon’t vote Greek. I have before. Iwill in this election. That is to saythat Greek candidates have an extra
burden to show me how they cando well for all students, not justthose who are Greek.
In case you’re wondering,everything except for thefinance/academic affairs bit refersto current candidates. It’s up to youto decide whom to vote for. Maybeyou should take a look at candi-dates’ Facebook pages. Candidates,maybe you should increase thesecurity on your pages unless, ofcourse, you think that it will signifyyou have something to hide, whichfor some of you it does.
And, voters, if you don’t like acandidate who is running unop-posed, don’t vote for him or her. Itsays something if an unopposedcandidate hardly receives anyvotes.

The Campus RecreationCenter at UNC underwenta transformation Fridayfrom its normal scenery ofindividualized fitnessworkouts to a busy, upbeatand chaotic center of can-cer awareness fundraisingas hundreds of studentsparticipated in Relay forLife.
The second-floor trackwas packed with studentswho walked alongsidefriends and teammates.The first-floor basketballcourts resembled amakeshift campsite, withtents and canopies liningthe walls and dedicated
teams sprawled on mat-tresses and chairs, play-ing games and listening tomusic to pass the time.
From 6 p.m. Friday to7 a.m. Saturday, 79 teamsparticipated in the 8thAnnual Relay for Life, anevent that raises moneyfor the American CancerSociety, which uses pro-ceeds to find a cure forcancer.
The event broughttogether students fromseveral groups on cam-pus, representing GreekLife, campus clubs, resi-dence halls, athleticteams and groups offriends. Participants spentthe night walking thetrack to raise money,
often switching shifts withother team members.
“I did this because it’sgoing to a great cause,”said Katy Masterson, afreshman art educationmajor. “It’s a lot of fun,and it’s bringing studentstogether.”
Teams did more thanjust walk to raise moneyby fundraising prior tothe actual event. Studentscould raise funds individ-ually through theirfriends and family, butmany teams hostedevents on campus to raisemoney.
For instance, manyresidence halls heldevents like “Pie YourResident Assistant” while
other teams sold bakedgoods in the UniversityCenter.
Their efforts paid off,as a volunteer from theAmerican Cancer Societysaid funds had alreadyreached $55,000.
Students spent almost12 hours in the CampusRecreation Center butcould participate in anumber of different activ-ities. Many campsiteswelcomed anyone to joinboard and card games.One site had set up GuitarHero for interested stu-dents, and UNC StudentRadio played musicthroughout the night.
Despite the games andfun that took placethroughout the night, therewas also an awareness ofthe event’s meaning.
Upon entering thebasketball courts, partici-pants were greeted by alarge banner that asked“Why do you relay?” onwhich students wrote whythey chose to participatein Relay for Life. Whilesome people wrote theywere “relaying” for theirteam or to find a cure,others wrote about hav-ing family members bat-tling cancer.
The night also featured
guest speakers, an hon-orary lap around the trackfor cancer survivors andthe luminaria ceremony,where participants gath-ered together remember
to those who lost theirbattle with cancer, weregiven candles and com-pleted a remembrancelap.
Laughter and music filledthe air throughout the event,but there was also a sense ofempowerment and strengthamong the students, whoknew their efforts were goingto a great cause.
The event also unitedthe campus together in aneffort to find a cure forcancer, and demonstrat-ed the strength of theUNC community.

With the help of theSummit OrganizingCommittee, the Summiton Social Justice andDiversity at UNC is set toinform students on elimi-nating inequality.
The summit, whichwill be hosted from 9:30a.m. – 5 p.m. Tuesday inthe University Center’sPanorama Room at theUniversity of NorthernColorado, will presentresearch papers, speakers
and a panel to addressand analyze issues ofinequality.
“Looking at a problemallows you to facilitate theright action,” said HermonGeorge, a professor ofAfricana studies and theadviser for the SummitOrganizing Committee. “Theforum is an annual commit-ment to social justice onbehalf of the community.The purpose of Summit is tooffer a place at the universitywhere students can beproactive towards social jus-tice issues.”
This year’s event willhave a social justicereport card. The gradegiven examines the num-ber of black residents inthe state and comparesthem with the percentageof black students on cam-pus, George explained.
For example, the per-centage of blacks inColorado is four percent,which is compared to thenumber of blacks whoattend UNC. The closerthe percentage is to thestatewide percentage, thehigher the grade is.
“The report card holdsthe institution account-able for seeking diversi-ty,” George said.
This year’s panel willaddress and examinepressing issues such asthe Occupy Wall StreetMovement, immigration,the economy and votersuppression.
The Summit OrganizingCommittee is a good wayfor students to partake infighting for social justice,George said. Besides educa-tional forums, the groupalso raises funds for causes
of justice. The group has hosted
the Summit on SocialJustice and Diversitysince 2004.
The summit has alsoseen some renownedinspirational speakersand authors.
“Last year, JamesLoewen, author of ‘LiesMy Teacher Told Me,’spoke,” George said.
The forum is impor-
tant because we need toask the right questions inorder to get the rightanswers, George said.
The summit’s panels,papers and speakers givestudents the chance to beproactive to fight forsocial injustices.
It’s important to exam-ine public policy and howtoday’s issues revolvearound public order,George said.
The UNC football teamhas a tall task ahead of itselfon offense this season:replacing speedster widereceiver Patrick Walker.
Luckily for theUniversity of NorthernColorado, the top per-former from the 2010 sea-son, redshirt junior JaceDavis, is set to return tothe roster after missing ayear due to academicineligibility.
In 2010, Davis was anall-conference player forthe Bears, racking up 992yards receiving and seventouchdowns on 53 recep-tions. While he was forcedto miss last season,
Walker steppedup and outdidDavis’ numbers,with 1,171 yardsand 10 touch-downs. Now,Davis and hismates on thereceiving corpswill look toreplace thatp r o d u c t i o nfrom Walker,who graduatesin May.
“Any time you loseyour top producer it hurts,but I’ve always said thenext guy’s got to step inand be ready to go,” widereceiver’s coach KeithGrabel said.
Davis, who wasdescribed by head coachEarnest Collins Jr. as a“freakish athlete,” has been
playing with thefirst-string teamin spring prac-tice, and Davissaid he appreci-ates that hiscoaches haveshown suchbelief in him.
“The coachesobviously have alot of faith in meto put me atnumber oneautomatically,”
Davis said. “My teammatesand my coaches reallyhelped me out in a positiveway, so I give them all thecredit.”
Collins said now thatDavis is able to be back onthe team, it’s his responsi-bility to keep himselffocused on schoolwork.
“At this point in time in
Jace’s career, it’s really onhim,” Collins said. “Youcould babysit a kid, youcould do all sorts of things,but the bottom line is forhim to learn the lessons oflife, he has to want to dothis himself.”
Last year, the tight endposition was not utilizedmuch in the passinggame, as junior DougSteele led the tight endswith just seven receptionson the season. Collins saidhe expects that to changein the fall.
“That’s one of the keythings we’re trying todevelop this year — ourtight end spot,” he said.
As for the rest of thewide receivers aside fromDavis, senior DominicGunn, junior Chris Morrisand sophomore Dimitri
Stimphill will figure to seethe field quite a bit this fall.Now that they have a yearunder their belt in the newcoaching staff’s playbook,Grabel said he expects theywill understand the con-cepts of the offense better.
“Their knowledge isgoing to be better,” hesaid. “Their understand-
ing of the game is goingto be better. It’s prettymuch the same system,the same concepts thatwe’re running, so it’sgoing to be quicker forthem, they’re going tounderstand it better andthey’re going to playfaster, which is what wewant.”
Big bats plagued andhelped the UNC softballteam, splitting the four-game series during firstweekend of conferenceplay against Weber State atButler-Hancock SoftballField.
“I think Weber was goodenough to come in herewith their bats to take agame from us, but I justdon’t think they shouldhave taken two,” headcoach Mark Montgomerysaid.
The University ofNorthern Colorado (17-17,2-2 Pacific Coast SoftballConference) had 35 totalruns in the series, withWeber State (13-20, 2-2)tallying 28.
“Hitting isc o n t a g i o u s , ”senior designat-ed player AlexNeely said. “Oneperson gets a hit,that next personup steps upthere with moreconfidence and Ithink we werejust able to putthat big inningtogether, andafter that, wejust kept addingto it each inning, so thatwas really awesome.”
The final game of theseries looked like a differ-ent softball game than theothers of the series. TheBears lost 3-1, but that isnot to discredit freshmanpitcher Mikayla Duffy, whorecorded the loss. Duffyhad two earned runs in the
game beforefreshman KelciCheney wentinto the circle asrelief.
“I think (Kelci)is doing great,”M o n t g o m e r ysaid. “I thinkDuffy pitched awell game in thelast one. Whenwe’re on, we’rereally good.”
With thebases loaded in
the seventh inning, juniorright fielder Lindsey Smithwent into the game topinch hit. After a 10-pitchbattle, Smith went downswinging for the secondout. Following that, astrikeout from Duffy endedthe game.
“I felt really good aboutit — I did,” Smith said. “I
battled and Duffy had beenworking really hard. It wasa one-run ball game untilthe last one. I really wantedit for them because they allworked really hard, andespecially in the lastinning. Everyone workedhard to get on base, so Ireally wanted to get themin, but it sucks that it didn’thappen.”
During Sunday’s firstgame, the Bears had a six-runthird inning. Smith had twoRBIs and a run in that inningand six in the game, four off ofdoubles and the final twowhen she hit a triple to right.
“I just felt really good atthe plate today,” Smithsaid. “Cheney was pitchinga heck of a game, so I want-ed to make sure she had alot of runs and felt goodabout going out there andbeing confident.”
Both of Saturday’s gamesended with the eight-runrule during the fifth inningof both games. The Bearslost 15-6 in the openinggame of the series, duringwhich Duffy took the lossafter giving up six runs. TheBears brought their batsearly in the second game,though, and a six-run thirdinning for UNC put the teamahead on its way to a 12-4victory. The victory beganwith a two-run home run inthe first inning from Neely,who also had an RBI doublein the game.
“I just wanted to beaggressive,” Neely said. “Weworked on attacking the firstcouple strikes rather than get-ting down in the count andreally being aggressive, espe-cially with runners on andmaking something happenearlier in the count.”
The Bears have one gameof non-conference play athome against Colorado Stateat 5 p.m. Wednesday beforethe team’s first conferenceroad trip of the season whenthe Bears will travel to UtahValley for a four-game week-end series.
Alex Neely had five hits andsix RBIs in fourgames againstWeber State.
“I think Weber wasgood enough to
come in here withtheir bats to take agame from us, but Ijust don’t think theyshould have taken
