With the help of slowmotion, highly sensitivecameras and wind tunnels,a UNC professor and twograduate students havemade a new discoveryinvolving the role the tailplays in the flight of bats.
Rick Adams, a profes-sor of biology at theUniversity of NorthernColorado, has studiedbats for more than 20years. It was only in thepast few years, though,that he and his colleaguesmade a new discoveryabout the tail membranesin certain species of bats.Their research found the
movement of the tailmembrane creates athrust during takeoff,unlike verte-brate in anyother flyingspecies.
“We’re pret-ty diverse, so Iwould say onethird of theresearch sur-rounds move-ment,” Adamssaid.
Adams, alongwith former grad-uate studentsJason Shaw and EmilySnode, who received theirdoctorate and master’sdegrees, respectively, lastspring, took the high-speed
videos, which revealed thetail movement indiscernibleto the naked eye.
Adams saidmost videoresearch done onbat movement istaken with as l o w - m o t i o nvideo camera,and that 97 per-cent of theresearch on batsflying is con-ducted in windtunnels. Windtunnels create afalse environ-
ment and not enoughresearch has been com-pleted to determinewhether bats’ natural flightdiffers from flight observed
in wind tunnels.It also does not
account for takeoff move-ment, Adams said. He,Shaw and Snode wrote apeer-reviewed article ontheir findings in whichthey detail how they wereable to observe a fairlynatural takeoff. The arti-cle is available on thePublic Library of Sciencewebsite.
“We filmed 95 individ-uals of five species of ves-pertilionid bats as theylaunched from a horizon-tal platform after beingheld stationary by hand,”Adams said.
The researchers firstnoticed the bats’ tailmovements when theywere flying directly at thecamera. Follow-up videosrevealed the unexpectedmovement of the tail bothabove and below the bodycoordinate with themovement of the wings.The tail does not simplyproduce a thrust uponlifting into the air; itseems integral to the actu-al movement of flying.
Between taking and digi-tizing the video, Adams saidit took a couple of years toprepare the research to
present in a journal.“People have been pret-
ty amazed,” Adams said.Though it has not been
available long, the articlehas more than 1,500views, and Adams hopesfor more publicity as wellas follow-up research onhow much force the tailcan produce.
Adams has been a biol-ogy professor at UNCsince 2002 and is thefounder of the ColoradoBat Society, which exists“to foster public appreci-ation of bats and to sup-port the conservation ofbat populations inColorado,” according totheir website.

On Feb. 26, 17-year-oldTrayvon Martin was walking to arelative’s Florida home when hewas shot in the chest and killed byGeorge Zimmerman, the neighbor-hood watch leader of his gatedcommunity. Martin’s murder hasbeen rightfully publicized; theshooting has appeared in headlinesacross the United States, yet hismurderer stands free.
One month has passed sinceGeorge Zimmerman allegedlyadmitted his guilt to the Sanford,Fla., police, but authorities haverefused to arrest him. Zimmerman
says he shot the unarmed boy, whowas black, in self-defense, but therecently released 911 tapes paint amore honest picture of the lastmoments of Trayvon Martin’s life.
On one tape, an unnamedcaller explains there is a distur-bance occurring behind her house.Martin’s screams for help can beheard in the background. While theoperator collects information fromthe caller, the deadly gunshot, withwhich Zimmerman was apparentlyprotecting himself, is heard. IfZimmerman was acting in self-defense, it is peculiar to be afraid of
a bag of Skittles, the only thingMartin had on him when he waskilled.
On the tape that recordedZimmerman’s call to the police,Zimmerman reported to a dis-patcher that Martin was acting sus-piciously and as if he was on drugs.“These guys always get away,” saidZimmerman before he ended thecall.
Not only have police ignoredZimmerman’s apparent indiffer-ence to human life, but they havedefended him in public state-ments, describing him as a college
graduate who took a class in crimi-nal justice. Sybrina Fulton,Trayvon’s mother, immediatelytook her tragedy to the media afterpolice disregarded her son’s case.Change.org is hosting a 2,000,000-signature petition calling on AngelaCorey, Florida’s 4th District stateattorney, to prosecute Zimmermanfor the shooting of Martin. At thetime of publication, the petitionhas a little more than 1,900,000 sig-natures. Visit Change.org, searchTrayvon Martin and sign the firstpetition to make your difference inthe case.
Shooter of 17-year-old walking home should be jailed
As somebody who “iscommitted to creat-ing an unprecedent-
ed level of openness in govern-ment,” President BarackObama has so far disappointed.
I think the many conspiracytheories surrounding Obama’seligibility are far-fetched, butObama hasn’t helped his causeby hiding much of his past.
It took three years for theObama administration to releasehis long-form birth certificate.They did so at a time when it wasconvenient to shame politicalopponents — probably a smartmove. I do think, however, thatthe release of his birth certificate
was well overdue. It’s not thathe’s black; it’s not that he’s aDemocrat. I would expect thesame from any presidential can-didate. In fact, John McCain pre-sented his birth certificate toCongress. Obama should havedone the same.
It appalls me that there is alack of a good formal processensuring the verification of can-didate eligibility. For any candi-date, I want to see a birth certifi-cate. I want to see documentedevidence that the candidate haslived in the United States for atleast 14 years.
I’d also like to see every can-didate’s academic records, taxreturns and marriage licenses(multiple for Gingrich!). If some-body wants to pursue publicoffice, he or she must be willingto give up personal privacy toensure government transparen-cy, which consists of every facet
of government, not just policies.It makes me wonder why
Obama won’t release his aca-demic information. The rumor ishe received sub-par marks atColumbia. While he did exceed-ingly well at Harvard, one mustwonder how he got into theschool. Current admissions stan-dards for the median HarvardLaw admit are a 173 (99th per-centile) on the LSAT and a GPAof 3.88, enough to receive Latinhonors from most universities,honors that Obama did notreceive from Columbia.
If he was admitted intoHarvard on an affirmative actionboost, I could understand himwanting to hide his academicrecord. If he failed poetry, I couldlikewise understand. But I don’tknow how he got into Harvard,and I don’t know why he’s hidinghis record. That’s the problem.What’s more likely, that he is hid-
ing something innocuous, orsomething harmful? What couldbe more harmful than Bush’s C-average or McCain graduating inthe bottom one percent?
It’s also policy related. TheAssociated Press reported thatthe Obama administration hasreleased fewer records thanBush, despite more requests.Ironically, 194 pages of internalemails concerning the OpenGovernment Directive werecensored.
These are all problematic, andObama certainly isn’t the firstpresident to fail to keep the gov-ernment and candidates trans-parent. I hope he’ll be the last,though, because for a people tobe free, it is necessary for thegovernment to be transparent.

The process of fillingthe two vacant seats onthe Student Judiciarycontinues, and will tenta-tively be completed just
one week before UNChosts its Student Senatecampus-wide electionsApril 3-5.
Student Rights AdvocateSamantha Fox hosted anopen forum with the fourjustice candidates Friday,
giving Senate members andother interested studentsand faculty the chance toget to know the candidatesbeyond their applicationand resume.
Judiciary candidates areMatthew Rhinehard, a soph-omore recreation andtourism major, ConnorMong, an undeclared fresh-man, Scott Lee Cooper, afreshman mathematicsmajor, and Morgan Byrd, agraduate student in therehab counseling program.
Fox asked each candi-date several questionsabout why they want toserve on the judiciary and
how both he or she andthe judiciary would bene-fit if he or she were to beappointed.
“I want to try some-thing different and getinvolved somewhere oncampus where I can con-structively voice my opin-ion and share mythoughts with other peo-ple,” Rhinehard said. “It’sa great opportunity andan important for UNC tohave this outlet.”
Another question’sanswers that will prove tobe important to whoever
Alpha Kappa Lambdaspent last week raisingmoney for the AssaultSurvivors AdvocacyProgram and encouragingstudents to pledge to putan end to violence on theUNC campus throughtheir annual “TheseHands Don’t Hurt” phil-anthropic event.
Every semester, the
University of NorthernColorado chapter hoststhe weeklong philan-thropic event in conjunc-tion with ASAP.
Students who stoppedby the booth coulddonate to the cause andtrace their hands onpieces of drywall to showtheir support to findingan end to domestic vio-lence. The wall of hands isthen displayed in the fra-ternity’s chapter house.
The goal the fraternityset for donations, all ofwhich are given to ASAP,was to match last semes-ter’s total of $1,000.
Chris Haley, a fresh-man international affairsmajor and member of thefraternity, said it lookedas though they had nar-rowly missed their goal.
“We somewhat expect-ed that since it’s thespring semester and thelast one seems like it wasjust a couple weeks ago,”Haley said. “Still, we didraise a lot of money thissemester.”
Arick Sweitzer, a fresh-man physics major andmember of AKL, said thissemester’s event receivedless attention because itwas not done in conjunc-tion with Take Back theNight as it was in the fall.
“We definitely pulledin more attention since itwas helping with Take
Back the Night,” Sweitzersaid. “We’ll be doing thatagain next semester so Iam excited to help withthat next year.”
Haley said the mainway people found outabout the event and donat-ed was through word ofmouth as opposed to stu-dents just stopping by thebooth.
“We tell people that weare having the event, andthey come by,” Haleysaid. “There aren’t thatmany people who justwalk by and donate. Ourmain source of income isviral; we tell our friendsand then they tell theirs.”
Mitchell Loya, a juniorpsychology major andAKL president, said eventhough the fundraisinggoal wasn’t quite met, theevent was still a success.
“It’s something every-one can get behindbecause there is nobody
who really disagrees withstopping domestic vio-lence,” Loya said. “It’ssomething that needs tostop, and giving the dona-
tions to ASAP is a greatway to make sure the vic-tims are able to get thehelp and support theyneed.”
Dennis Pumphreybecame a resident assistantas a sophomore at UNC.Ever since then, he’s held aposition of authority oncampus.
Pumphrey was namedthe University of NorthernColorado Police Departmentchief of police earlier thismonth. He was an RA forthree years before earninghis degree in speech com-munication in 1989. His loveof the campus environmentkept him around, and heapplied for the UNCPDdirectly after graduation.
“I think I have a goodgame plan, but having thefriendships and working with
people in the past and show-ing that I’m part of this uni-versity and value my commu-nity’s opinion really helpedpush me forward into thechief’s role,” Pumphrey said.
Times have changed inthe 22 yearsPumphrey hasbeen on theforce, and with itcomes updatesand renovationsin enforcementstyles.
“It’s a differ-ent environmentnow,” Pumphreysays. “We haveresponsibility ona greater level tohelp protect people frompoor decisions they’ve maderegarding their own health
or any impact they may haveon people around them …We want to anticipate trou-ble before it becomes toobig.”
When Pumphrey was inschool, the police depart-
ment’s prioritiesmostly revolvedaround keepingdisturbances at am i n i m u m .Pumphrey saiddrug usage wasmore under-ground than it istoday, and thelegal drinkingage was 18.When the legaldrinking age was
raised, however, vandal-ism, disturbances andfights decreased, and the
expanding departmentcould concentrate on sub-stance incidents.
Going forward, Pumphreywants to continue concen-trating on emergency pre-paredness and plans for safe-ty in case of circumstancesranging from natural disas-ters to a campus shooter.
“It’s simply not accept-able anymore for a policedepartment to deal solelywith issues of law,” he said.
For this to be effective,Pumphrey said beinghighly connected withagencies and departmentsin and out of the UNCcommunity is essential.He also said he wants theUNCPD to become moreinvolved in student activi-
ties, as the departmentwas in years past.
Three police chiefs havecome and gone duringPumphrey’s tenure, and hesaid he garnered wisdomfrom Mikel Longman, themost recent ex-chief, onhow to efficiently performhis duties.
“He casually explainedto me some of the needs ofthe community from a lead-ership position and whatthey’re looking for in theirpolice chief, and I think thathelped me as much as any-thing else,” Pumphrey said.He also said Longmanshowed him available polic-ing resources he wasn’tfamiliar with before.
Pumphrey said he would
like to continue usheringthe UNCPD into an era ofcommunity policing, “like athrowback to a neighbor-hood officer everyoneknows.”
“It’s not sufficient just tobe happy with the day-to-day operations when thingsare going well,” he says.“We have to look forward towhat does our communityneed, what’s the next stepfor us to take? While we’rehaving success, let’s buildon success and let’s not besatisfied with the successnow and make it more thanwhat it is.”
Tragedy has againstruck the UNC campuscommunity as the death ofEvan Pilkington, a senior,occurred Friday evening,according to the GreeleyPolice Department.
Officers were called tohis 11th Avenue home,which he shared with sever-al roommates, around 5:41p.m. Friday after he wasdiscovered in the basementof the house with a self-inflicted gunshot wound tohis head, a spokespersonfor Greeley PD said.
Before his death,Pilkington had beenwatching TV with hisroommates when hereceived a phone call. It is
unclear, according to thesource, who was on thephone or what the callwas regarding.
Afterward, he took tothe basement where heposted a suicide note on
Facebook. The entiresequence took about 20minutes, the source said.
The Mirror will contin-ue to provide updates ofPilkington’s death as theybecome available.

Baseball splits series with South Dakota StatePARKER COTTON
The UNC baseball teamentered the ninth inningagainst South Dakota Statewith a seven-run lead Sundayand needed every bit of it asthe Jackrabbits plated fivemore runs, but the Bears still
escaped with a 15-13 victory.The University of
Northern Colorado (8-11) sal-vaged a split with SDSU (6-12-1) in the four-game series,and it was anything but easy.
UNC freshman pitcherJess Amedee entered thegame in the ninth and got onequick out before allowing sixconsecutive singles. Amedee
allowed a sac fly and anotherRBI single before getting a flyout to end the game.
“Tip your cap to them,they’re a good hitting ballclub,” UNC head coach CarlIwasaki said. “I didn’t expectthem to generate five runs ina quick order, but they did.And we have to prevent that.I told (SDSU after the game),I appreciate them fighting.That’s what we have to do.We appreciate seeing a teamfight when they’re sevenruns down.”
The game started withUNC being the team that hadto fight back, as five earnedruns were charged to Bearssenior Joe Willman in his fiveinnings pitched. Willmanallowed three first-inningruns and one run in the sec-ond and third innings and theBears trailed 5-0 going intothe bottom of the third.
The third inning was thefirst of five straight innings inwhich the Bears scored atleast one run. UNC freshmansecond baseman Ryan
Yamane advanced to thirdbase on an error with one outand was brought home bysenior shortstop AdamHilker. Two batters later, sen-ior third baseman TonyCrudo sent a home run overthe wall in left-center field tobring UNC within 5-3. Hilkeradded a two-run double inthe fourth inning to tie thegame at five.
“We had a lot of confi-dence early in the gamebecause we knew there wasa lot of game left,” saidCrudo, who went 3-for-5 atthe plate. “We’re happy ithappened so early. Guyswere getting on for us all theway through the lineup, sothere was nothing to worryabout that early in the game.We just trusted ourselves.”
After the Jackrabbitsadded another run in thetop of the fifth, the Bearstagged SDSU pitchersTalon Jumper and MarcusHeemstra for three runseach in the bottom of thefifth and sixth innings,
respectively, to open up a10-6 advantage.
A four-run seventh inning,including a three-run blastfrom junior pinch hitterBrooks Schneider, put theBears ahead 15-6.
SDSU tacked on two runsin the eighth before collectingseven hits for five runs offAmedee in the ninth. Senioroutfielder Adrian Schenk,who was 1-for-5 Sunday, saidAmedee’s performance wasnot indicative of how good ofvaluable Amedee is.
“Amedee wasn’t makingtoo bad of pitches,” Schenksaid. “We still trust Amedeein the end there relieving.When he comes in, every-body’s like, ‘All right, this isour guy. He’s going to getthe job done.’ We have a lotof confidence in him.”
Iwasaki praised his hit-ters at the bottom of theorder, sophomore designat-ed hitter Colby Harrison (2-for-3), junior catcher DerekBaum (1-for-3 with an RBIand three walks) and junior
center fielder Dylan Banach(1-for-4 with two walks) forkeeping several of the team’sscoring runs alive.
The win gave the Bears asplit in the series after UNCdropped the series opener 10-5 on Friday before earning an8-7 victory and a 7-3 loss in adoubleheader Saturday.UNC’s win Saturday was thatof the walk-off variety asCrudo lined a one-out, bases-loaded single into right-cen-ter field to score Yamane fromthird to end the game.
UNC has four non-confer-ence games remaining beforestarting play in the Great WestConference early next month,the first three of which comeagainst Seattle starting at 7p.m. Friday.
“We wanted to win theseries here at home,” Crudosaid. “South Dakota State’s agood team, so we’ll take thesplit. Definitely glad we won it(Sunday), but we got a longweek of practice. We’ll getbetter. We’ll be ready to playin Seattle this weekend.”

UNC softball sweeps visiting Jackrabbits over weekendSAMANTHA FOX
With a single to center,the UNC softball teamclosed out a weekendseries Saturday againstSouth Dakota State as itswept the Jackrabbitswith a 2-1 victory Butler-Hancock Softball Field.
The University ofNorthern Colorado (15-14) already had two one-run wins against SouthDakota State (4-15) after adoubleheader Friday withfinal scores of 3-2 and 8-7.
“I’m proudof them,” saidhead coachM a r kMontgomery. “Imean, all threewere nail-biters, all threecame down toone-run games.If you noticed,it’s always a dif-ferent personwho keeps com-ing through, and that’sthe key to a good ball cluband that’s what we needto keep building on.”
The win wasthe secondwalk-off in theseries, and inSaturday’s game,it was freshmandesignated hit-ter Mikayla Duffywho camethrough. Withtwo runners onand one out,Duffy hit a shotto center, scor-
ing senior center fielderErin Geddis from secondbase for the win.
“I had more confi-
dence in the lasttwo batters,”Geddis said. “Ihad all the con-fidence in theworld one ofthem was goingto drive me inand I’m fastenough to getfrom second tohome, so it’sgood. I’m gladwe won.”
Geddis went 2-for-4 atthe plate Saturday, 5-for-12 in the series, with tworuns scored.
A major ele-ment to UNC’sgame play andsuccess thisseason underMontgomery isa constantchanging ofplayers through-out the game.
“ A s h l e i g hWaterland, asubstitute, goesin and makes (a
diving) play, but we feelvery confident that who-ever we put out there willget the job done,”
Montgomery said. “Ithink that is so importantthat we can make allkinds of moves. I driveour (Sports InformationDirectors) crazy, I’m quitepositive, with all thechanges that go on, butyet, every time it maxi-mizes the strength of ourteam.”
Freshman pitcherKelci Cheney went allseven innings ofSaturday’s game witheight strikeouts. Cheney
Mikayla Duffy drove in the win-ning run againstSouth DakotaState Saturday.

in a crappy relationship,get rid of that freeloadingjerk by firing an arrow atthat him. Just tell thepolice that all you wantedto do was play “Katnissvs. Everyone Else.” Ifyou’re a boy and are in acrappy relationship, stopwhining and start baking.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov.21) You take comfort in
the fact that no decisionyou have to make thisweek will be as difficult aschoosing between Peetaand Gale.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)If you dressed up for
“The Hunger Games” pre-miere, good for you! Justknow that you have nowofficially given up theright to look at someonein a “Team Jacob” shirtand say, “God, look atthat nerd.”
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)Throwing a “Hunger
Games”-themed costumeparty could be lots of fun,provided you’re all willingto dress like HaymitchAbernathy.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)At UNC, it can be pretty
irritating if you don’t get outof class until after the dininghalls close. It’s kind of likewhere I come from, wherepeople starve to death onthe streets. Oh wait, it’s notlike that at all. Sorry, I’mkind of new at this.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)You need to start appre-
ciating your younger sib-ling more. Trust me.
Aries (March 21-April 19)School can be hard
sometimes. Know whatelse can be hard?Realizing you might haveto kill someone who’sbeen in love with youtheir entire life. Did Imake you feel better?
Taurus (April 20-May 20)Good job for getting an A
on test you studied really hardfor. Now learn to bullseye arabbit at 100 yards and we’lltalk.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)Secure people don’t
take being compared toother people seriously.Trust me, “The HungerGames” has been com-pared to both Bella Swanand Harry Potter. I’msecure in the knowledgethat Katniss could put anarrow through both theirhearts at the same time,vampire or no vampire,wand or no wand.
Cancer (June 21- July 22)You shouldn’t worry so
much about your appear-ance. Seriously, I was hairierthan a water buffalo for 16years and I still made the cutebaker’s son drool over me.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)Want to amaze some-
one with awesome infor-mation? Tell them thatKatniss Everdeen is 1/8Cherokee. This has noth-ing to do with lineage.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)You just need to real-
ize that no matter howhard you try, no matterwhat you do or how youdo it, you will never be asboss as Katniss. She canrun, jump, sing, shoot,kick butt, drink moon-shine, dance, blow crapup, and makeout like aprom queen.

Walk-off wins highlight Bears’series against South Dakota State
was the only pitcher toappear in all three games ofthe series. She had 16 strike-outs, eight of those coming inSaturday’s game.
“Kelci just keeps raisingthe level of her game,”Montgomery said. “She’s afreshman, but she just keepsgetting better and better andbetter, and that’s what weexpected. She hit a little slumpat the first part of the season,but she’s kind of through thatand she feels more comfort-able and I think she got betteras the series went on. She
pitched the first game, did anOK job and pitched today andwas lights out.”
Senior catcher ErinWilkinson said all of thepitching UNC had this week-end was important when itlooks toward conference play.
“This team’s a pretty goodhitting team, so I think it wasgood for (our pitchers) to gettheir feet wet with a good hit-ting team just so they can finetune their pitches so we’reready to go into conference,”Wilkinson said.
In the first two games, dif-ferent players were able to
help the Bears claim victoriesin big ways. It was freshmansecond baseman MelissaMarcovecchio who had a sin-gle to drive in the winning runin the second game of theseries and a double-steal byjunior right fielder LindseySmith and freshman infielderKelcee Santos that gave theBears the go-ahead run ingame one.
The team hits the roadWednesday to face in-staterival Colorado State beforeopening up conference playat home against Weber Stateon Saturday.

Justice candidates share opinions, viewsis appointed was “Whatdo you believe is mostimportant: The rights ofone student, the rights ofmany students or the let-ter of the law?”
Each candidate had a dif-ferent answer and reasoning.
“I believe that all are
important,” Byrd said.“But I also feel law,because it is more con-crete, has much of astronger effect, but I stillfeel like the voice of thestudent is also importantand should be incorpo-rated with the law.”
Rhinehard said the let-
ter of the law followedclosely by the rights ofmany students, Monganswered the rights ofone student and Coopersaid he believes the rightsof many students are themost important.

Police chief considers UNC ‘family’troubleshooting role and inmeetings, Pumphrey says thefeeling of helping those in thecommunity makes it allworth it, and each instance ismemorable. He said someinstances are memorable forother reasons, as well.
“We tend to engage somecharacters,” Pumphrey saidwith a laugh. He told the storyof a frequently encounteredstudent who swore she wasrelated to him. “Every time I
saw her, she had seen me onTV rescuing somebody.”
Campus policing is dif-ferent than that of othermunicipalities, though.Pumphrey said if studentsmake mistakes in college,they can recover, albeit per-haps after paying a fine insome capacity, and theencounter could have “goodtakeaways they can benefitfrom down the road.”
A family man with a wifeand two daughters,Pumphrey says balancing
his home and work life isnot overly complicated.
“It’s not as difficult abalance as you mightthink,” he said. “My familydoes understand thatthere’s sacrifices that haveto be made. Some jobs area little easier to get out ofto watch a track meet orvolleyball game, and I’mnot going to make everyone, but it really doesn’timpact my kids negatively.I’m usually home for din-ner and have the evening
with my family.” As of now, he plans to
stay on until the 30-yearmark, perhaps a little longerif his daughters decide toattend UNC. Regardless ofhis future endeavors,Pumphrey says he’s foundhis home here.
“UNC will always be apart of my family and what Ido,” he said. “I’ll be donewith the school as anemployee at some point,but I’ll never really leaveUNC.”
