Volume 94, Number 19Week of Monday, October 29, 2012
Senior outside hitter Kelley Arnold (17) sets the ball during Saturday’s match. The UNC volleyball team was swept by the Idaho State Bengals Saturday at Butler-Hancock, which was the second time this season the Bengals defeated the Bears. The first was Sep. 21 at Idaho State, where the Bears fell 3-2.
College students areamong the worst demo-graphics hit by the economydownturn. Not only is therea shortage of jobs for collegegraduates depending ontheir field, but there are alsojobs students are overquali-fied for when they graduate.
Career Services is hold-ing the Fall Job andInternship Fair from 2-5p.m. Tuesday in theUniversity CenterBallrooms. This fair is tohelp many unemployed stu-dents look for internshipsand jobs all over campusand all over the country.
“Students need intern-
ships and jobs,” said PegGriffin, the fair and eventcoordinator for CareerServices. “Some will be look-ing for full-time jobs whenthey graduate in December,as well as in May, so CareerServices will also be organiz-ing a spring job and intern-ships fair.”
Career Services is part-nering with many compa-nies planning to attend thefair that are looking forpotential employees.
“Some of the companiesthat are involved with thefair don’t even know thatthey need employees, so weallow them to look foremployees that they didn’tknow they needed,” Griffinsaid. “We have companies
that are suited for all types ofmajors. We have companiesthat are suited for criminaljustice, law and medicalprofessions.”
Student should prepareto talk to some of the busi-nesses they hope to be hiredby and do so in a way thatleaves a good first impres-sion.
“First rule is to dress pro-fessionally,” Griffin said.“Employers like to see thatthe students are seriousabout work. Studentsshould also research thecompanies of their choiceand know a little about whatthey do. If you ask a compa-ny about what they do, thestudent has already made abad first impression. Of
course, if students are justbrowsing and they don’tknow what they would beinterested in, they shouldask questions and try to get abetter understanding of thecompany.”
Convenience is also vitalto the fair. Companies cometo the students instead ofstudents having to look forcompanies that are hiring.
“Start a conversationwith some of the represen-tatives of these companies,”Griffin said. “They willengage you.”
Students who are look-ing forward to the fair arereally serious about findinga job.
“I need a job like I needto breathe, so this job fair iscoming at just the righttime,” said StephanieNorwood, a junior journal-ism major. “I’d also reallylike to get an internshipsince I am a junior in col-
lege. I’d like to get a start onan actual job and actuallystart to know what it wouldbe like in the chosen field Iwant to be a part of.”
Other students alreadyhave a job so they find thisfair unnecessary but likelyhelpful for other people.
“I already have a job, butI do think it is encouragingfor other students who needjobs and can’t seem to findanything,” said MichelleElkins, a sophomoreEnglish major. “But, I wouldlike to get an internshipmaybe.”
There will be a total of 75companies at the job andinternship fair. Companieslike Wal-Mart andWalgreens will be attendingthe fair, as well as jobsaround campus and thecommunity such as theWeld County Sheriff’s Officeand UNC’s Monfort Collegeof Business.

Halloween. For cosplayers,it is a never-ending decision onwhat costumes they spent sev-eral hours making that theywant to wear for a single day.For others, it’s a last-minutethrow-together of whateversilly stuff they might have intheir closet for a party theyrecently got invited to.
Regardless of what youdress up as or why you choosethe costume to wear, it’s anopportunity to be somebodyyou’ve never been or to dressin a way that might make youfeel uncomfortable in every daylife. As the meme says,“Halloween: a night wherewomen from 14–45 can dress
like a slut and get away with it.” Dressing in costume and
taking part in the Halloweenfestivities has always been asacred day for some. It givespeople an opportunity to besomebody they normallyaren’t. Couples have thechance to make cute cannoncouples from literature andpopular culture, while for sin-gle people, it provides anopportunity to spice up theirevery day outfits just enough tocapture the eye of another sin-gle ghoul who happens to be atthe same party.
Lacking costume inspirationfor a party this Wednesdaynight? Fear not. There are hun-
dreds of options. Some of theeditors at The Mirror are goingas Disney characters.Specifically Pacha from “TheEmperor’s New Groove,” or theentire cast of the ‘90s cartoonshow “Doug.” (Quailman isalways an option for you gentswith an extra pair of tighteywhities and a brown belt lyingaround.) Current cartoonshows have also been quite atrend this year, specifically“Adventure Time” from theCartoon Network. You canalways go as sports stars ormafia members. Countless popculture icons will also be mak-ing appearances this year.
While we all know that
Halloween happens to fall onWednesday this week, we urgethat you follow some bits ofsafety advice. If you go trick ortreating or out to a party,always have a friend at yourside. With so many people outand about, some predatorscould very well be on theprowl. For those of you who are21 or older, be sure to drinkresponsibly and always have adesignated driver. It may be“wasted Wednesday”; however,you might have an 8 a.m. classthe next morning.
From all of the editors andstaff at The Mirror, have a fun,festive and safe Halloween thisyear.
Regardless of costume, remember to have a safe Halloween
Edgar Allen Poe, the mostfamous author of themacabre this country has
produced, once wrote that the mosttragic event a writer can constructwith his or her fiction is the murderof a young, beautiful woman.
However, as evidenced by ourall-encompassing media, the eventthat produces the most outrage,sadness and fear is the murder of awhite female child — nothing gar-ners more discussion than caseslike JonBenet Ramsey, Caylee
Anthony or (now) Jessica Ridgeway.In our culture, we have con-
structed a commonplace that can-not be violated: Children aresacred, innocent and harmless, andanyone who transgresses this istransformed into a specter, an irre-deemable monster whose destinyrests in the fires of perdition.
I do not intend to challenge thisassumption; I merely want to pointout its existence.
I imagine that enthusiastic read-ers or viewers of news feel pangs ofsorrow upon encountering the lat-est — and highly publicized —details of the Ridgeway case, and assuch, her alleged killer, Austin ReedSigg, has been hopelessly vilified.
I think we must consider one
thing, though: Reed, only 17 yearsold, is a child himself. According toThe Denver Post, he came from abroken family and endured signifi-cant bullying throughout his educa-tion.
As a north Denver native, I wasslightly disturbed to see my home-town and all of my youthful hauntson national television, butWestminster is not the setting for aghastly narrative. Indeed, it is a realtown with real humans sufferingreal pains.
Yes, a human being, Ridgeway,died by the hands of an older boy,but why does this murder receiveso much popular attention? I thinkthis attention results from theaforementioned commonplace.
Nevertheless, in highlighting thegrisly murder and dismembermentof a child, the media tends to ignoretangible human pain and sensa-tionalize one type of killing. We feeda type of want from terrible, horrificstories. Child murders should notget the attention they do.
Instead of focusing on the grue-some and sensational, we need toask some questions about our cul-ture: What makes a child kill anoth-er child? Why do we derive a kind ofjoy from discussing cases of childmurder as if they were subplots inhorror films?

POLLThis week’s poll question:
Do you have plans to vote earlyfor the election?
Cast your vote at wwwwww..uunnccmmiirrrroorr..ccoommLast week’s poll question:
the luxury of conveniencewhen it came to gettingfrom A to B. I could hopon my bike and reach anydestination in my smallcity of about 30,000 withina half hour, an alternativeI frequently indulged in.
Upon arriving at UNClast fall, I was pleased tofind that Greeley was acity that could accommo-date my inclination fortwo wheels.Unfortunately, the same isnot true for Prague. Ofcourse, I never had anyambition of transporting,or purchasing, a bike formy short time here.
Now, my standardmode of transportation,disregarding my own twofeet, is the tram, concep-tually, a simple mecha-nism found in cities theworld over. However, Ihave come to find that interms of public trans-portation, the tram is itsown animal. From a codeof unspoken etiquette tothe threat of petty theft,there is certain knowledgethat one should familiarizeoneself with when fre-quenting trams.
If you are planning tostudy abroad in the future,especially in Europe, youcan bet that trams willplay a major role in thepublic transit of your hostcity. Consider this a crashcourse in mass transit,specifically trams.
First, know in advancehow you are going tofinance your transit. In mostcities, the expense of 24-hour passes can accumulatequickly. Your best optionmay be to get a long-termpass. In cities like Prague,London and Berlin, amonth-long transit pass willpay for itself in less than twoweeks. If you require amonth-long pass, you willlikely have to purchase itfrom a ticket broker.
Next, do not make themistake of assuming everyservice worker in Europespeaks perfect English. Inmany cities, especiallythroughout EasternEurope, English is stilluncommon among oldergenerations. It is best tohave a friend present whocan translate. Or, it helpsto be familiar with somebasic terminology in therespective language.
Third, once you havepurchased your pass,never be without it. Afterbeing in Prague for almostsix weeks, only on oneoccasion was I asked topresent a transit pass.Under these circum-stances, it is easy to
become complacent, andif you are like me, you maybe naturally forgetful.However, the penalty fortraveling without a validpass can be severe. InPrague, the fine for areplacement ticket is 800crowns; I paid a total 746crowns for my month-longstudent pass alone.
Fourth, trams areunique because they runon an individual track,usually separate from theregular flow of traffic. Still,in cities like Prague, tramscomply with traffic lightsand traffic stops.Therefore, the tram sched-ule and duration of a tripcan vary, unlike other railsystems such as subwaysthat are generally veryconsistent. It is best togive yourself five to 10minutes of leeway inanticipation of trafficdelays.
Fifth, never let yourguard down on the tram. Itis not necessary to be para-noid; still, in most largecities, pickpocketing isrampant. This is especiallytrue on trams where peoplepack tightly together, acondition that makes it
easy for a pickpocket tooccur discretely. Alwaysstore your wallet and othervaluables in a secure place,such as an interior pocket.
Finally, be aware ofunspoken etiquette. Inreality, this does notexceed simple commoncourtesy, the basics beingoffer your seat to older or
handicapped individualsand when standing, do notobstruct the exits. In addi-tion, when boarding thetram it is always polite toallow the people exiting topass first.
These are all simpleconcepts. Nevertheless,failing to recognize theseprecautions could result in
unfavorable conse-quences.

There is a certainspooky buzz around cam-pus as the week begins.Halloween is fastapproaching, and thatmeans it’ll be time for peo-ple to dress up to go aroundto trick or treat.
As always, safety is themost important factor onthis highly-anticipated hol-iday, whether one is goingto trick or treat or to takepart in a haunted house.Also, considering recentevents that have happenedaround Colorado, keepingthe community safe andhappy is high up on the listof how to make Halloween
a fun holiday, but there isstill plenty of fun to be hadaround campus.
The Residence HallAssociation is putting on a“Safe Trunk or Treat” eventon Halloween. This eventwill be open to the publicfrom 5-8 p.m. Wednesdaynight in the C Parking Lotsouth of the UniversityCenter.
Students as well asother community mem-bers can bring their vehi-cles and park them in thelot to decorate their cars forthe event.
“It provides a safe envi-ronment for trick or treatingand general fun for the pub-lic,” said Matt Reinhardt, amember of RHA.
Beyond the Safe Trunkor Treat event, there arealso Halloween games inGordon Hall before andduring the trick or treat-ing. The residents therewill be hosting fun andsuitable games for kidslike bobbing for apples,small pumpkin paintings,face painting and cookiedecorating.
“Haunted Harrison”
will be held in the base-ment of Harrison Hall,running from 7-11 p.m.Between the hours of 7 and8 p.m., the haunted housewill be child friendly, butwhen 8 p.m. rolls around,the level of scary willincrease to better suit anolder audience.
There will be an admis-sion charge of $1 or acanned food donation.Haunted Harrison will alsobe open from 8-11 p.m.Monday and Tuesday night. From 7:30-10 p.m.Wednesday in thePanorama Room in the UC,a scary literature readingwill be held for those whowish to not partake in thehaunted house.
Students, faculty andstaff braved the briskmorning air Saturday for a5K breast cancer aware-ness race hosted by BlackMen of Today.
Participants gatheredat 9 a.m. outside HolmesDining Hall to begin therace, the proceeds ofwhich went to raiseawareness and money forbreast cancer research.
About 40 participantsattended with a registra-tion price $5 for students
and $10 for non-students.“It’s just anything we
can get that helps,” saidpresident AJ Moosa.
Those who partook inthe race received abracelet and a certificateand also entered into araffle for a chance to win anew pink iPod.
First to finish the racewas Daniel Rubic, a seniorexchange student fromAustralia with a time of 17minutes and 40 seconds.Rubic said he enjoyed therace because he knew hewas benefiting researchfor breast cancer.
The event was not onlyopen to UNC faculty andstudents, but communitymembers were asked tojoin as well.
“(It’s) a great cause,and we all know someonewho has been affected bybreast cancer,” saidValerie Anderson, a staffmember at UNC.
As the race was comingto an end, music was puton to entertain the peoplewaiting for the last of thewalkers to finish so theraffle could begin. Manyof the participants got upand danced to well-
known songs and showedtheir enthusiasm and sup-port for the cause.
“It was fun,” saidMichelle Frounfelker. “Ilike how casual and easy-going it was — no stress. Iwould participate in anytype of run that supportsan end to cancer.”
When participants hadfinished, the much-await-ed raffle began. A randomnumber generator onMoosa’s phone choseShanelle Robinson as thewinner of the brand newiPod.
The Black Men ofToday is an organizationput together by studentsat the University ofNorthern Colorado.
“Our mission is to pret-ty much touch the lives ofall black men on campus— or just men in general,”Moosa said. “And to show
people college is not allabout partying — it’sabout giving back.”
The 5k is not the onlyevent this organizationhas put together to helpthe community. In fact, in
November, it will hold anevent called SurpriseTurkey Day during whichit will provide 10 lower-income families withThanksgiving dinners.
In the spring it will alsohave an event called theBlack Men of TomorrowYouth Growth Retreat.During this event, themembers take kids fromthe inner city and Greeleyto a cabin in Estes Park toteach them how to be aman.
“How to treat women,how to cook, aboutstereotypes, interviewsand resumes and how todress properly,” Moosasaid of the event’s pur-pose.
Because of the successof this 5K, the Black Menof Today plan on hostinganother race in thespring, giving students,staff and the communitysomething else to lookforward to.

“Parade,” written byAlfred Uhry, is a dramaticmusical based on thetrue story of the 1913 trialand lynching of a shopowner, Leo Frank, whowas accused of murder-ing his 13-year-oldfemale employee. Sincethe trial was heavilyinfluenced by media andthe already antisemiticview of almost all thoseinvolved in the trial, hewas thought to be guiltyby the town and subse-quently was found so.While he is thought to beguilty by the majority ofthe town, his wife,
Lucille, maintains hisinnocence until he iskilled.
The plot of the playsurrounds not only thetrial but also the interest-ing relationship betweenLeo and Lucille.
In dramatizing thestory, Uhry emphasizedthe evolving relationshipbetween Leo and Lucille.Their relationship shiftsfrom cold to warm insongs like “Leo atWork/What am I WaitingFor?” “You Don’t KnowThis Man,” “Do it Alone”and “All the WastedTime.” The poignancy ofthe couple, who fall inlove in the midst ofadversity, is the core ofthe work.
Dealing with themes
of religion, racial intoler-ance and consistent ten-sion, as well as an under-lying emotional storylinefollowing the growinglove between Lucille andLeo, “Parade” is sure tokeep the audience on theedge of its seat wonderingwhat is going to happen.
With performances at7:30 p.m. Nov. 1-3 and 6-10and at 2 p.m. Nov. 3-4 and10-11, there are plenty ofopportunities to see thisdynamic and dramaticmusical.
Tickets for “Parade” areavailable through the boxoffice in Frasier Hall; howev-er, there are no remainingfree student tickets available.The show is rated PG-13 dueto adult language and maturethemes.

Shakespeare came toUNC Saturday as theUniversity of NorthernColorado Opera Theatre puton a performance of “TheBard of Opera” for a packedaudience at the UnionColony Civic Center.
With two acts featuringscenes from operas such asGioacchino Rossini’s“Otello” and GiuseppeVerdi’s “Falstaff,” the vocal-ists gracing the HenselPhelps stage captivatedaudience members.
“I really enjoyed theshow, the variety, the sceneselections and the talent,”said Casey Weimer, an audi-
ence member.The amount of work that
goes into putting together aperformance takes diligence,perseverance and talent.Opera is a difficult art form,which does not come easy tomany but seemed to for thesemusic students.
“It has been very impres-sive to see how much the stu-dents have improved overthe course of these fewweeks, in terms of both actingand diction,” said DanielReem, a second-year mas-ter’s student of music anddirector of Hector Berlioz’s“Beatrice et Benedict: Act II.”“This entire process has beenan absolute delight.”
With respect to theShakespeare theme, each
scene was uniquely staged,giving the audience the uni-versality of Shakespeare tran-scending time with its relat-able content. The tastefullighting and use of props andcostumes helped audiencemembers to understand themessage of each operaticscene regardless of languagebarriers. The audience heardFrench, Italian and Englishthroughout the night.
“Doing opera scenes gaveme the opportunity tostretch myself further than Iever thought I could,” saidSusan Elser, a junior vocalperformance major whowowed attendees with herbeautiful and vibrant soundin Samuel Barber’s “Anthonyand Cleopatra.” “It was
absolutely amazing.”The UNC School of Music

Offenses struggle as Bears lose to NAUPARKER COTTON
In a game that wasessentially a defensivestand-off for three and ahalf quarters, both theUNC and NorthernArizona offenses awokein the final eight minutesof the game Saturday atNottingham Field.
The Lumberjacks hadthe ball last, though, andthey made the most of it,kicking the game-win-ning field goal with 15seconds left to secure a12-10 win.
“As a coach building aprogram, you have to tryto take the positives awayfrom it, but it hurts,”
University of NorthernColorado (2-6, 1-4 BigSky) head coach EarnestCollins Jr. said. “It hurts alot when you know yougot a team on the ropes,and you basically justgave it to them.”
After both offensesstruggled mightily in thefirst three quarters, UNCbroke that spell with a10-play, 91-yard drivemidway through thefourth, capped with a 15-yard strike from juniorquarterback Seth Lobatoto senior wide receiverDominic Gunn to give theBears a 10-9 lead. UNC’sonly points until thencame on a 20-yard fieldgoal from junior kicker
Dave Eden in the secondquarter
UNC left 4:52 remain-ing on the clock, though,which was just enoughtime for the Lumberjacksto maneuver 76 yards andset up an 18-yard fieldgoal with 15 seconds left,the team’s first offensivepoints of the game.
On that drive, NAUfaced a 4th-and-2 fromUNC’s 28 with 1:39remaining, and instead ofattempting a field goalthen, NAU handed off toits stud running back,junior Zach Bauman, thesecond-leading rushingin the conference.Bauman was limited to92 yards rushing — shortof his 122 per-game aver-age — and he was heldout of the end zone, buthe did enough damageon a two-yard carry thatgot NAU another firstdown, allowing it to fur-ther milk the clock beforeits field goal.
UNC’s final play fellapart on a fumbled lat-eral as time expired, giv-ing NAU (7-1, 5-0) thevictory.
Northern Arizona
came into the gameranked No. 13 at theFootball ChampionshipSubdivision level butcouldn’t manage anyoffensive points untilthe final quarter. TheLumberjacks’ ninepoints up until thencame via a first-quartersafety of senior punterMason Puckett and aLobato i n t e r c e p t i o nr e t u r n e d f o r at o u c h d o w n i n t h e
s e c o n d q u a r t e r .“We gave them every-
thing they had — theyonly scored three pointson offense,” Lobato said.“That pick-six that theyhad and the safety wasthings [sic] that we gavethem, and if we can elim-inate those things, we’regoing out of here happy.”
Lobato went 20-of-36through the air Saturday,
UNC sophomore linebacker Leilon Willingham (left) tries toshake a block from a member of NAU’s offense duringSaturday’s game. Willingham had nine tackles in the game.
“Concentration and mentaltoughness are the margins ofvictory.” In Saturday’sstrange — and sometimesdownright wacky — 12-10defeat at the hands ofNorthern Arizona, it wasapparent these traits in par-ticular are still being devel-oped by UNC’s footballsquad, a group with two win-ning experiences in the pasttwo years.
Despite being out-gained by theLumberjacks by 103yards of total offense, theUniversity of NorthernColorado gave itself a 10-9 lead with a Seth Lobatotouchdown pass to
Dominic Gunn with less thanfive minutes to go in thegame. From that point, anNAU offense that had not yetproduced points drove 76yards to set up an 18-yardfield goal with 15 seconds leftthat gave the 13th-ranked‘Jacks the win.
All day, the Bears defensekept NAU’s Zach Bauman,ranked eighth in FCS in yardsrushing, bottled up. Butwhen it mattered most, on4th-and-2 from the UNC 28with 1:39 remaining, the star
running back picked up justenough to keep the drivealive. The ability to performin marquee situations is askill not easily acquired, asthe team is learning.
The “clutch gene” —despite its designation as ahereditary attribute — can belearned, but it is usually notparticularly quickly. For thefirst half of his career, PeytonManning’s prime-time abilitywas questioned, as his teamsperformed well in the regularseason but fell in the playoffs.The quarterback was able tobuck that stigma by provinghimself in big-time situations.
UNC is not near that levelyet, but it faces a similar chal-lenge in taking the next stepafter tasting success. Headcoach Earnest Collins Jr. said
he is trying to be patient ashe and his group work outthe kinks in their game.
“I know that most folkswant it just to be turnedaround quick, and even as acoach, you want it to gofaster than it’s going, but I’vegot to keep my head onstraight and keep looking atthe little bitty things that areleading to us being successfulin the future,” he said afterthe game.
The team played as if itwas more confident through-out the game and held itsown against a marquee BigSky opponent. But “clutch”doesn’t stipulate good playonly in the waning moments.Early mistakes cost the Bears,as the Lumberjacks’ first ninepoints came while UNC pos-
sessed the ball, in the form ofa bad snap on a punt thatcreated a safety and a pick-six as Northern Colorado wasmounting a drive.
In the end, though, UNClikely gained some confi-dence in hanging with a verygood squad in NorthernArizona. In fact, wideout JaceDavis said the team gave thisone away — a strong state-ment for a team of the Bears’stature against a rankedopponent.
“That game was ours,” hesaid. “You know, we gave itto them, and we’re going toprepare for Weber, and we’regoing to come out just asstrong. We’re going to exe-cute like we did, and I expectto win that game.”
In my time at The Mirror,
I’ve heard football players saythey expect to win a game.This, however, was the firsttime a player made mebelieve him, too.

Football team’s confidence seen during Saturday’s close loss against NAUMichael
The UNC volleyballteam fell to Idaho State witha sweep Saturday at Butler-Hancock Sports Pavilion.
The University ofNorthern Colorado (16-8, 9-5 Big Sky) needed this win inorder to be bumped up inthe standings for secondplace, but now Idaho State(18-5, 12-2) has secured aspot in Big Sky ConferenceChampionship tournamentbecause of its win againstUNC.
The Bengals’ offense iswhat brought them to thewin over the Bears, hitting a.325 attack percentage,which resulted in the sweep
(25-23, 25-21, 25-23).It was in those last few
points of each set that UNCwas able to come close towinning. Whenever theBears had the lead, theBengals came right back upto eventually win the set.UNC head coach LyndseyOates recognized those leadchanges and how IdahoState was able to comeback.
“We definitely had athree or four point leadthrough most of that firstgame, and they went on onerun that got us in serve-receive where we werestruggling a little bit pass-ing-wise,” Oates said. “Thatcaught them right back up,and then it was a point-for-
point game, and we justdidn’t execute at the end.”
UNC senior outside hit-ter Kelley Arnold playedstrong in the match, record-
ing 15 kills and a .367 attackpercentage. Arnold saidthere was a lot of energy onthe court throughout thematch.
“Even though we lost, itstill felt like almost like wewon when we got a hugepoint,” Arnold said. “It wasso much energy out thereand so much fun and lovefrom every teammate —whether I got the kill andsomeone was cheering forme or if someone else gotthe kill and I was cheeringfor them.”
Bears sophomore mid-dle blocker Andrea Spaustatalso had a strong matchagainst the Bengals, tallyingnine kills and a .533 attackpercentage. During eachset, there was a greatamount of momentumfrom both teams, whichresulted in long ralliesthroughout the match.
“We just did all-outdefense and when we prac-tice it in practice, that reallyfires our team up,” Spaustatsaid. “We just came togeth-er after the play was overand just talked to each otherin the huddles, which alsohelped keep us energized.”
Oates said she waspleased with how UNCplayed against Idaho State.With less than a month leftuntil the conference tour-nament, Oates talked aboutpreparing for that to try toclinch a spot in the postsea-son tournament her teamhosts this year.
“I like how we playedtonight,” Oates said. “IdahoState played very well, andwe’re not at the level yet, butwe will be Thanksgivingweekend if we can make thetournament, and we will seethis team again, chances are.I like where we are headed,and I like how we playedtonight — and obviously dis-appointed with the outcome,but I think we’re headed inthe right direction.”
The next match for theBears will be 8 p.m.Thursday at SacramentoState. The Bears will returnhome for a match againstNorth Dakota at 7 p.m.Monday, Nov. 5 at Butler-Hancock Sports Pavilion.

Women place fifth, men finish10th at Big Sky Championship
After just two years onthe UNC volleyball team,sophomore middle blockerAndrea Spaustat hasalready earned her spot inthe starting lineup.
Spaustat was named BigSky ConferenceFreshman of theyear last year, andshe was also namedpart of theNorthern ColoradoClassic All-T o u r n a m e n tsquad inSeptember. Notonly has she proven herstrengths on the team, but italso shows how much sheenjoys playing.
Volleyball isn’t the onlysport the criminal justicemajor was interested in,though, as she participated insoccer, swimming and div-ing, tennis and basketballthroughout her life.
Out of all of those sports,volleyball was the oneSpaustat chose. Coming allthe way from Omaha, Neb.,Spaustat chose the Universityof Northern Colorado for theatmosphere and the people.
“(I came here) for the aca-demics and what they had formy major,” Spaustat said.“And the coaching staff andtheir values and morals, andtheir team’s a family, and alot of my club teams and myschool teams — those havebeen like my sisters, basically— and I wanted a team thatwas going to be generally thesame.”
When she’s not gettingready for practice or prepar-ing for a game, Spaustat saidshe loves to hang out with herfriends. One friend in partic-ular that she said she is closeto is sophomore outside hit-ter Tambre Haddock. Notonly did Spaustat andHaddock join the team at the
same time, but theyalso lived togetherfreshmen year andhave grown closersince.
“Once we startedgetting to know each
other, we justclicked,” Haddocksaid. “Our humor
is very similar, and whenwe’re together, it’s kind ofhard to shut us up.”
Another personal interestthat Spaustat said she has isrelated to her major. Shechose it because she enjoyslearning about murder inves-tigations and cases as well.
“I was really interested inmurder mystery books and alot of TV shows, like ‘CriminalMinds,’ when I was little,”Spaustat said. “It’s reallysomething that interests me alot, so I wanted a job thatwould be really interestingand keep me on my toes.”
Spaustat has a very funnyand caring personality off thecourt. When it comes to play-ing matches, she is a veryreliable and strong player.Head coach Lyndsey Oatessigned her with the Bearsbefore last season and hasliked the way Spaustat playswith the team.
“She’s a great competitor— she gets after it, and you’d
never know how light-heart-ed she is off the court bywatching her only on thecourt — but she brings a littlebit of that to the court aswell,” Oates said.
As one of the key startingplayers, Spaustat has a .345hitting percentage and 84blocks this season. Oates saidthat her strengths do not gounrecognized.
“She’s just deadly on thatslide attack — she’s one ofthe best, not only in ourregion but really probablynationally,” Oates said.
Since Spaustat is only asophomore, she tries to lookup to the older players as anexample. One player in par-ticular is senior outside hit-ter, Kelley Arnold. Arnold isalso a key player and talkedabout how she tries to be astrong leader.
“I think for me, and beinga leader by example, and Ithink that Andrea definitelyfollows that,” Arnold said.“When people step up andstart playing at a certainlevel, she wants to absolutelybe a part of that and wants toplay as hard as she can.”
Over these next few yearswith Spaustat on the team,Oates said that Spaustat hasdeveloped a lot as a blockerand knows that she will keepgetting stronger.
“She’ll continue toimprove,” Oates said. “Shehas a big ceiling, and sheneeds to continue to devel-op more diversity in herattacking, so she’s hittingmore shots, different sets,and continue to improve asa blocker.”
Sophomore light-heartedoff court, intense on court
The UNC cross coun-try team finished its sea-son Saturday inScottsdale, Ariz., at theBig Sky ConferenceChampionship, with thewomen’s team finishinga program-best fifthplace.
UNC freshman RikkiGonzales paced theUniversity of NorthernColorado, finishing 13thoverall with a time of17:51.05. Gonzales was

Following Gonzaleswas sophomore AshleyAtkins, who placed 30thwith a time of 18:42.Joining Atkins in the top-40 was senior MeganHorsch, who finished35th.

The UNC swimmingand diving squad celebrat-ed senior day against AirForce Friday in its firstmeet at home and the sec-ond of the season.
The University ofNorthern Colorado fell to
the Falcons 165.5-134.5 ina very intense and closemeet.
“This is by far the bestdual meet I’ve ever seenmy girls race in the threeyears I’ve been here,” UNChead coach KellyMcClanahan said. “Theyhave fought for each finishand even the opposing
coach, Casey Converse,said that we just have afighting team. It is by farthe best team we’ve everhad as far as not giving upraces, always going in andtrying to get the next pointand really fighting to thenail to get to the wallbefore anyone else.”
Starting the nightstrong, UNC finished firstand second in the 200medley relay. The firstplace team included fresh-man Elle Gawronska, jun-ior Renee Stephens, juniorGina Riggle and sopho-more Jessica Reed-Baum,who finished with a time of1:50.07.
“I feel like, as a team, wewere all united together,which is what we reallyneed this year, and I feellike this will justbe continuedthroughout theseason,” Rigglesaid.
Riggle also fin-ished first in the100 breaststrokeand second inthe 200 breast,finishing with times of1:05.86 and 2:23.13,respectively.
“It’s nice to have one-on-one meets because, forme, it’s more intense,”Riggle said.
The Bears had at leastone swimmerplace third orhigher in everyevent. Senior diverSara Moldenhauerfinished first dur-ing both dives inher last homemeet.
“It’s good to know that
you made it the fouryears,” Moldenhauer said.“You know that most peo-ple don’t, and it’s just real-ly good to end it on a goodnote.”
McClanahan saidMoldenhauer’s place onthe team has been huge,always being able to con-tribute to the team with
her diving abili-ties.
“She has beensuch a big compo-nent to our team,”McClanahan said.“She’s gone
through a lotwith our pro-gram — three
coaches in four years —and so she’s gone througha lot of adversity and she’salways come through ontop of everything.”
In such a close meet,the winner was decided inthe final two races — the
200 individualmedley and 400freestyle relay.Junior CourtneyVan Oost finishedsecond in the indi-vidual medley,
with a final timeof 2:11.52.
“Air Force is a bitter-
sweet rival for us,”McClanahan said. “It’snice because they’re justdown the road, and they’reat our same level of com-petition. But it’s bitterbecause we just want tobeat them so bad. I thinkthe team wanted this winso bad they could taste it.”
Being senior night,McClanahan had a specialreason to reflect on thefour seniors: Moldenhauer,Tatum Boehnke, AlicenFair and Hattie Oatts.
“This class, they’re veryclose to my heart becausethey’ve literally beenthrough every single stepof building this programwith me, and so I’m gettingchocked up thinking aboutthem right now,”McClanahan said.
Boehnke fin-ished fourth in the1000 freestyle witha time of 11:03.27.
“Tatum alreadycame in a naturalborn leader,”M c C l a n a h a nsaid. “She’s oneof those thatshe’s going to lead no mat-ter what.”
Fair was part of the 400freestyle relay team thatfinished fourth with a timeof 3:45.55.
“Alicen Fair is someonethat came into the pro-gram as a walk-onand leaving as ascholastic ath-lete,” McClanahansaid.
Friday’s meetwas special forOatts in particu-lar, since it washer first time competing in
more than a year. She swamlead for the relay squad fin-ishing sixth in the 200 med-ley relay. Oatts was original-
ly recruited byMcClanahan forWyoming beforeboth came to UNC.
“She has proba-bly gone throughthe most adversity
with her shoulderi s s u e s , ”M c C l a n a h a n
said. “She could stay behindand do another year ofswimming, but she chose togo on and graduate. She isone of those that, despitethe adversity because shehad an excellent freshmanyear and she hasn’t done
her time sincethen, she stillshows that sheloves the sport. Sheloves the team.”
The Bears hitthe water again for
a dual meet at 11a.m. Saturday at
Northern Arizona.

passing for 198 yards — 105of them going to juniorwide receiver Jace Davis,who had seven receptions.
Davis said he wasalways confident in theoffense’s ability to score,saying Lobato is a greatleader, but it was penaltiesSaturday — the Bears were
whistled for seven of themfor 75 yards — that reallycost UNC.
“I feel like me and Sethare developing a reallygood relationship on thefield and off the field, andit’s going to turn positivefor us,” Davis said. “It was-n’t prevention from (NAU).It was what we were doing— we were making mis-
takes. We could have runwhatever we wanted onthem. We just got to exe-cute and stay away frompenalties.”
No penalty stood outmore than an illegal blockthat negated a 62-yardtouchdown from juniorrunning back TromaineDennis on a screen passon the first drive of the
third quarter.Despite the penalties
and the loss, UNC seniorsafety Jordan Bible — whorecorded the Bears’ inter-ception — said thedefense’s performance wasone that it can build on.
“I think for the whole 60minutes, this was the bestwe’ve been able to play as adefense,” said Bible, who
also had eight tackles. “Ourdefensive line really playeda great game. You need yourdefensive line to control theline of scrimmage whenyou’re playing a good run-ning game, and they cameout — them and the line-backers — tackled the guy,made it hard for him all day,and that helped everybody.We just came together.”
Collins said he wasproud of his defense’seffort, but the team as awhole still has a lot oflearning to do in order tobe successful on a consis-tent basis.
UNC’s next test comesat 2:05 p.m. Saturday inPortland, Ore., againstPortland State (3-, 2-3 BigSky).

When one thinks aboutcollege campuses with themost alcohol-related issues,UNC likely doesn’t come tomind — even if thinkingstrictly about schools inColorado.
While any university hasits share of parties on anygiven weekend, UNC isn’tnotorious for its debauchery.
“We’re below the nationalaverage for irresponsiblealcohol use,” said EmilyHedstrom-Lieser, the assis-tant director at the Universityof Northern Colorado’s Officeof Prevention. “Ninety per-cent of our students reportusing a designated driver. Theoverwhelming majority of ourstudents are using alcoholresponsibly.”
This is in part becauseUNC has a history withresponsibility campaigns inthe past. Perhaps more sothan other college campuses,UNC has tried to make sureits students know the risks ofexcessive alcohol use andwhat they can do to lessenthose risks.
The school’s history withresponsibility campaignsmade it an attractive candi-date for a statewide initiativeto promote responsibledrinking, led by the PersistentDrunk Driving Committee.The committee is a stateorganization, created in 1998with the Persistent DrunkDriving Act. One of the com-mittee’s focus groups is col-lege students and collegecampuses, which it is target-ing through its Social NormsCampaign.
“We were a model cam-pus for responsibility work,”Hedstrom-Lieser said of thecommittee’s decision to workwith UNC. “We had alreadylaid the foundation for pre-vention.”
UNC was the third collegecampus chosen to launch theSocial Norms Campaign,after Western State College inGunnison and Colorado StateUniversity at Pueblo.
The campaign specificallyaddresses how students viewalcohol use. There’s no doubtthe hard-drinking college stu-dent is a persistent stereo-type. In some cases, there is astigma attached when refus-
ing to drink alcohol in collegelife.
The Social NormsCampaign, however, makesthe argument that this ismore of a perceived notionthan an actual one. Not everycollege student is a frequentheavy drinker.
“We’re starting with athree-year campaign to col-lect data,” said Brittany Bohl,a prevention counselor atUNC.
Data collection consists ofsurveys given to UNC stu-dents, asking about theiralcohol use.
“We surveyed 400 stu-dents in randomly-chosenclassrooms,” Bohl said.
The survey seeks to cut tothe heart of students’ percep-tions about alcohol use, withquestions such as “On aver-age, how many drinks do youthink the average student atUNC consumes per week?”and “Do you believe thatalcohol makes [you] moreattractive?”
The positive result of thesurvey was that while overhalf of UNC students reportusing alcohol, the majoritywasn’t consuming it in an
overwhelming fashion. Thestereotype of constantlydrunk university studentsdoesn’t fit UNC, at least.
Maybe the most impor-tant aspect of the SocialNorms Campaign is that it isspecially tailored to students.While the Persistent DrunkDriving Committee is orches-trating the initiative, each col-lege campus has its say inwhat its campaign looks like,complete with specificthemes and advertising.
Western State, for exam-ple, chose the Truth Fairy asits campaign’s mascot — amale student in a tutu, com-plete with a wand dedicatedto telling the truth about alco-hol and social norms. CSUPueblo opted for the slightlymore macabre zombie-themed campaign.
Because this is the firstyear of the campaign forUNC, the program has yetto be completely fleshedout, and students will havea large amount of say inwhat their Social NormsCampaign looks like oncampus. Many of thosedecisions will be made inthe spring semester.
All stereotypes aside, UNCreally doesn’t have many ofthe problems that other uni-versities have with alcoholabuse. While school-spon-
sored programs are impor-tant, the Social NormsCampaign is looking toensure that UNC stays thatway.
UNC to launch campaign aimed at alcohol use

Penalties plague Bears in close loss to LumberjacksFootball from Page 10
It’s early morning whenLaura Pritchett looks out thewindow of her house and seesa bear huffing and pawingabout her yard. For Pritchett,who lives on a ranch, this isn’tanything out of the ordinary— neighbors spotted bearsclimbing in the trees or evencoming close enough to thehouses to leave a trail of bearsnot on the window.
This early morning sight-ing is special, though,because Pritchett, a UNCinstructor in English, sees thebear and feels a calling towrite “Great Colorado BearStories.”
“My approach for thisbook was different because itwas something I had beenasked to write,” Pritchett said.
And Pritchett’s approachwas hands-on. As part of her
research, Pritchett snow-shoed several miles to climbinside the den of a hibernat-ing, tranquilized bear.
“Bear dens smell good,”Pritchett writes in her book.
“Bears don’t defecatewhile in hibernation, so thesmell comes from the envi-ronment — you smell thepine and aspen trees and theearth and winter,” saidPritchett.
This is quite the oppositeof an awake bear, whichPritchett describes assmelling rather rank.
Not only does “GreatColorado Bear Stories” detailPritchett’s investigation of abear den, it also reveals to read-ers how to get to know andunderstand bears, while rais-ing concern for the future ofbears in Colorado’s wilderness.
Bears used to live on theplains of what is now Greeley.However, due to a growinghuman population, the bearswere pushed from their habi-tat. Still, if people learn moreabout bears and how torespect them, it may becomepossible for both humans andbears to live in the same habi-tat peacefully, a conceptPritchett approached cau-tiously when she put her facenext to a hibernating bear.
“We want to live along-side the bears and be aware,curious and protective,”
Pritchett said.Pritchett was entranced
by bears after a year and a halfof researching.
“When you love some-thing, you learn to protect it,”Pritchett said.
And out of her love comesa deep respect for the ani-mals. Pritchett wanted toaddress in her book some ofthe misplaced fear of bears asdangerous, people-ravagingcreatures, without taking the
other direction and writing aromanticized book of cuteand cuddly bears that couldfit right in with the bear mugsat the gift shop.
Pritchett’s hard work andhands-on research paid off.
“A valuable and wide-ranging work of scholarship,love and respect, Pritchett’sbook is a great source for thehistory of bears in Colorado— black and grizzly,” saidRick Bass, author of “Why I
Came West.”Pritchett describes herself
as a student of Colorado’sbackcountry, a place she hasbeen fascinated with andwonder-struck by since shewas just a girl. Growing up ona ranch in LaPorte, Pritchettfelt right at home.
“Being in the naturalworld is a huge part of who Iam,” Pritchett said. “I learnedthat I needed a lot of space tobe happy, kind of like a bear.”

English instructor offers in-depth look into bears
Shortly before 4 p.m. Friday, there was a water main break in Turner Hall on west campus.Bottled water was provided in the lobby, and residents were granted access to LawrensonHall, Harrison Hall and the Campus Recreation Center. The water was turned back onSaturday morning at 9 a.m. The facilities plumbing staff started on the 13th floor andentered every resident’s room to ensure the showers and toilets were both working.
For more than 20years, Harrison Hall hasscared the Greeley com-munity and UNC campuswith the annual hauntedhouse.
The festivities begintonight in Harrison Hall,and tours will run from 8-11p.m. tonight and tomorrow,and for Halloween, it will beopen from 7-11 p.m. Eachtour through the hauntedhouse will last approxi-mately five to 10 minutes.
The Harrison Hallcommunity has teamedup with the Weld CountyFood Bank for the event.
To get into the hauntedhouse, there will be a $1fee or students can bringa canned food item.
“The biggest reason toput on Haunted Harrisonis to bring UNC closetogether with our commu-nity, specifically the foodbank,” said Sam Hyland, asenior R.A. in Harrison Halland event director forHaunted Harrison.
As director of thehaunted house, Hylandhas recognized thegreat effort put in bythe UNC community tomake this year a suc-cessful one. The pro-duction is made up ofvolunteers, mostly stu-
dents and residents ofHarrison, but it alsoincludes others fromaround campus.
As residents ofHarrison may know, thebasement is sometimes aspooky place any time ofyear. However, forHalloween each year,Harrison puts on a home-made haunted housethroughout the basementfor everyone to enjoy.
This year, the layoutwill be different fromprevious years. In coordi-nation with OutdoorPursuits, students willenter through the back ofHarrison and then beforced to choose one of
two paths. Each path willhave a very different feelfrom the other, so partic-ipants are encouraged toexplore both.
The theme for this yearis going to be dark but alsoincludes a college feel.
“We are going for thecrazed R.A. and overrunstudents,” Hyland said.
Although it is a hauntedhouse, and will have scaryaspects, it is age appropri-ate for children. There willbe a special performancefor children on Halloweenfrom 7-8 p.m.
Haunted Harrison is alarge creation that takesa lot of planning. One ofHyland’s assistant direc-
tors, Tyrell Allen, will behelping out during theweek.
“It is very impressiveto see that college stu-dents are capable of cre-ating such a wonderfulperformance,” Allen said.
Although the hauntedhouse is sure to give par-ticipants a fright, it isunderstood the mostimportant aspect is giv-ing back to the commu-nity.
“It is great thatHaunted Harrisonbrings the schooltogether with the com-munity as well as allow-ing Harrison and UNCto give back,” Allen said.

The Mariani Gallery inGuggenheim Hall is cur-rently hosting “Herstories inRock Art,” an exhibit onfeminine rock art icons byLydia Ruyle.
This exhibit opened Oct.24, and runs through Nov. 30.
Upon entering the small,quiet gallery, there is a smalltable with a guest book onthe right and informationdesk on the left. However,the main attractions are thebright banners and paint-ings that surround the out-side walls of the gallery, aswell as the banners on atemporary wall in the mid-
dle of the gallery.The medium of choice
for this exhibit is bannersmade from nylon that havebeen painted, sewn and col-laged.
“The most interestingpart of the banners is all thedifferent cultures each ban-ner represents,” saidMorgan Hengsteler, a soph-omore early childhood edu-cation major.
The banners portrayfamous feminine rock artfigures from all differentcultures and time periods.Each banner is made in away that best represents theculture that the icon isfrom.
The interesting thingabout the banners and art-
work in general is theabstractness of the iconsand how disproportionate
the figures are. The bannersare eye-catching with theirbright colors and shapes
that make up the femininefigures, as well as the back-grounds they reside on.
One particularly eye-catching banner depicts theicon named “Venus ofWollendorf.” This Germanfeminine icon is originally astatuette that Ruyle madeinto a banner. “Venus ofWollendorf” is a small figurewith a maze-type design inthe head. According to thedescription sheet, this“Venus” is more than 30,000years old and is supposedlythe most well-known“Venus.”
“The rainbow cloud sur-rounding the figure mademe more curious anddrawn to that banner inparticular,” said sophomorebiology major VeronicaMoore.
The exhibit will be inthe Mariani Gallerythrough Nov. 30, and isopen noon-6 p.m.Mondays-Wednesdays,noon-4 p.m. Thursdays-Fridays and 10 a.m.-2p.m. Saturdays.

Senior tight end DarinMcDonald has made hisway from GreenwoodVillage to Greeley by theroad less traveled.
The 24-year-old spentthree years in the minorleagues of baseball and ayear at Wyoming before heand his family settled at theUniversity of NorthernColorado.
In the southern suburbsof Denver, the McDonaldname is legendary atCherry Creek High School.Darin and his older broth-ers, Darnell and Donzell,were all drafted by MLBclubs and spent time inprofessional baseball.Darnell was a record-breaking running back inhigh school and is still inthe New York Yankeesorganization.
Fellow tight end, junior
Austin Wilbers is also agraduate of Cherry Creekand said he grew up watch-ing the brothers excel in allathletic competitions.
“It was hard toreally miss them,”Wilbers said.“From his brotherDarnell to Donzellto him, they couldpretty much doanything theywanted, athleti-cally, from basketball tofootball to baseball. It wasalways fun to watch as a lit-tle kid.”
Darin, an outfielder inbaseball, was selected inthe 12th round of the 2006MLB draft by thePhiladelphia Phillies. Heplayed two years of rookieball in Florida for the GulfCoast Phillies and one yearfor the Williamsburg, Pa.Crosscutters. He said hefeels a bit of regret aboutleaving baseball, but he is
glad to be a Bear, and he’swiser for his journey.
“I don’t have moreknowledge than peoplearound here,” he said. “I’d
say I am morewise. I justapproach it asevery day could bemy last because Iretired from base-ball, and I kind of
had some regrets— not extreme
regrets — but I wish Iwould have given it a cou-ple more years.”
An all-state cornerbackin 2004 and 2005, Darin hasmade the conversion to tightend by route of wide receiv-er. Wilbers said the teaching— about football and aboutlife — goes both ways.
“He has a lot of lifeexperience — footballexperience — so it’s justalways nice to catch upand talk to him about any-thing,” he said. “You can
go to him for problems inlife, and as far as footballgoes, he’s always been ath-letically strong, bigger,faster than everyone. Histransition to tight end —
from a physical standpoint— it really wasn’t much ofa transition.”
Offensive coordinatorJon Boyer said that versa-tility is what makes the big,fast senior so impressive.
“His strength is defi-nitely in the pass game,”Boyer said. “He’s a greatroute runner, and he’s gotgreat speed. He’s progress-ing in the ground game,and each week, he’sbecoming more and moreskilled in that phase of thegame. It’s fun to have a guyyou can move around toeach position.”
In the Oct. 13 game atCal Poly, Darin pulled inhis first touchdown catchas a Bear. He admitted hewas emotional about theexperience that broughthis ride full-circle.
“Right when I got that, Igot kind of emotional,”Darin said. “It just kind ofvalidated the fact that I
could have quit manytimes during this. I’ve hadseason-ending surgeriesand things like that, but Ididn’t want this career tobe like my baseball careerand cut it short.”
