While the campus com-munity grieves the loss ofShawn Yoho, 20, his profes-sors and closest friends wearsolemn smiles as theyremember their friend’sbright smile and vivaciouspersonality.
Yoho, a sophomore com-munication studies major atUNC, was on his way toCalifornia to play with hisband when the vehicle heand two others were travelingin was rear-ended.
11 on the westbound lane ofI-70 near Richfield, Utah.
“Westbound traffic wasstopped becausean electrical com-pany was dealingwith a fallenpower line,”Johnson said. “Avehicle frombehind, not pay-ing attention,rear-ended them.It was a HondaElement that rear-ended a DodgeDurango, whichthen hit a car infront of it. Shawn Yoho was apassenger in the Durango. Amusical instrument case inthe back of the Durango dur-ing the collision was pro-
pelled forward and hit him inthe back of the head and gavehim head trauma.”
Yoho wastaken to a hospitalin Richfield andthen transportedby medical heli-copter to UtahValley MedicalCenter in Provo,Utah, where hedied from hisinjuries Jan. 12,Johnson said.
The driver ofthe Durango andthe other passen-
ger, both students at AimsCommunity College, hadminor injuries.
A candlelight vigil willbe held in Yoho’s memory
at 7 p.m. Thursday in frontof Lawrenson Hall. Thefuneral for Yoho will be at11 a.m. Saturday at TrinityBaptist Church, 15555 E.Quincy in Aurora.
David Palmer, an assis-tant professor of communi-cation at the University ofNorthern Colorado, saidYoho was in his Non-VerbalCommunication class lastsemester and was liked byeveryone he met.
“He was just an awesomeyoung man,” Palmer said.“He was very genuine, full oflife, full of laughter. He wasfun to be around. He was verycreative, and he was a musi-cian. He was a joy to have asa student. He was a wonder-ful addition to class, and hisinput was welcome. When hetalked, people listened. It’sjust a deep loss for every-body. Life is very fragile.”
A handful of Yoho’s closefriends at UNC said they willalways remember how he wasable to make people happy.
“Whether you were hav-ing a good or bad day, it justseemed like his attitude wascontagious,” said Jarrett
Durant, a sophomore psy-chology major and one ofYoho’s roommates this year.“Whether he was in good orbad moods, he’d just seemto bring people up.”
Sophomore journalismmajor Chris Johnson, Yoho’sroommate for the last twoyears, said it was easy forYoho to befriend everyone.
“A couple days before theaccident, we were all walkingto class, and a girl from oneof his classes came up andjust gave him a hug,”Johnson said. “We were justlike, ‘What?’ A girl that he hadmet this semester — so justone class — hadcome up and gavehim a hug.”
Johnson also saidthe amount of emo-tional assistancehe’s received fromother friends hasmade the situationmore bearable.
“The supporthad really justmade everything so mucheasier for us because we’resurrounded by people thatknew Shawn,” Johnson said.“We could seriously tell sto-ries about Shawn all day thatjust make us laugh. Given thecircumstances, everythinghas just been a lot easier thanit should have been justbecause of the guy Shawnwas and all the memories youthink of. You can’t help butjust smile instead of cry.”
Quintin Myers, a juniorhistory major, said he metYoho when he was 5 years oldwhen they joined a T-ballteam in Aurora.
“Shawn and I met before Ihave recollection of meetinganybody else,” Myers said.
“He was kind of like my veryfirst friend.”
Myers, who also playedon a roller hockey team withYoho coached by Yoho’sfather when they wereyounger, said he’ll miss thesmile of one of his bestfriends.
“He was just happy all thetime,” he said. “His smile wasjust radiant. His smile felt likethe best thing that could hap-pen. He also knew what tosay if you weren’t doing sohot that day.”
Durant said he cherishedthe time he was able to spendwith Yoho for the time he
knew him.“To have gotten
to know him as wellas we have has justbeen — everyone
else has justmissed out — it’sjust been incredi-ble,” Durant said.
Myers, amember of theUNC club
lacrosse team, said in addi-tion to displaying photos oftheir childhood in his room,he would dedicate thelacrosse season to Yoho.
“I’m playing this seasonfor him,” Myers said. “We’resupposed to be good thisyear, and hopefully we’ll go tonationals, but every accom-plishment I make is for him.”
Myers wrapped whiteathletic tape around thefacemask of his lacrosse hel-met. On the outside areYoho’s initials. On the inside,where Myers can see it whileplaying, he wrote: “Play hard.It’s for him. RIP.”

In less than one month, “StarWars” fans will flock to movietheaters and spend millions ofdollars to see an old movie in anew way when Lucasfilm Ltd. re-releases “Episode I: ThePhantom Menace.”
This seems to be becoming atrend in Hollywood. Not only isevery new blockbuster moviebeing released in 3D, even whenit is entirely unnecessary andmore annoying than entertain-ing, but studios are re-releasingmore and more movies after“digitally enhancing” them withthe 3D effect.
It might seem fun to watchDarth Maul fight Jedis and begiven the illusion of being ableto reach out and grab a lightsaber when “The PhantomMenace” returns to theaters,but once the first three films arereleased and they begin torelease the 1970-80’s “StarWars” movies, the 3D effect willonly ruin a classic trilogy.
Part of the fun of the old “StarWars,” and other films being re-released in 3D, are the classicfeel of the movies, which can beruined with too much technolo-gy. Re-releasing and “improving”
the classic sci-fi films and otherclassics may be an even worseidea than when they replacedpuppet Yoda with a CGI version.
Another recently re-released3D classic is “Beauty and theBeast.” The 3D effect in new ani-mated movies is annoying andunnecessary, so there is no wayeven Disney could take a 1991film, make it 3D and have it lookgood.
Just like it has been since thetechnology was originally intro-duced in the 1950s, 3D moviesare a money-making gimmick.As if paying nearly twice as much
for a new 3D movie isn’t enough,Hollywood expects people to paynearly twice as much to watchmovies that were released morethan 10 years ago.
Instead of paying $12, at least,to watch a movie one time in 3Din theaters, movie fans couldinstead buy the movie for nearlythe same price and watch itagain and again.
However, people willundoubtedly flock to theaters,and probably even camp out, forthe “new” “Star Wars” films, andHollywood execs will watch theirpockets get fatter.
Gimmicky re-released movies only expand companies’ profits
The summer prior tofreshman year, I madea few friends during
orientation. When I got toschool in August, luckily, theylived across from me in WilsonHall. They had gone to highschool together, and two of theirnames were on the door togeth-er. On the door to the room nextdoor, there was one name wedidn’t recognize: Shawn Yoho.
As the year progressed, we allbecame closer and saw eachother, including Shawn, almostevery day. Shawn shared qualitieswith each of us, but he was verydifferent in many ways, as well.
His faith in God and his musi-cal abilities really separated himfrom the rest of us and helpeddefine him as a man.
Shawn passed away in a caraccident last week, and none ofus could find the words toexpress how we felt about him.That’s probably partially becausesentiments like these are so diffi-cult to verbalize to begin with,but it also had a lot to do with thetype of guy he was. The best traitsabout Shawn were not easily spo-ken but instead were in picturesor songs. I will forever rememberhim with a smile on his face, gui-tar in hand.
Whenever we were playingvideo games and Shawn walkedin, he’d greet us and walk rightback out. He had more worth-while things to do, like completehis daily devotional or write anew lick on his guitar. When he
did stay, he’d stay somewhatdetached from the game, insteadfocusing more on interactionswith us.
This year, he was living withtwo of the guys from that groupoff campus. I went over there afew times last semester, but a fewblocks is a lot farther than a cou-ple strides down the hall. I let mylife get in the way of my relation-ship with my friends, assumingthere would always be anothertime to be with them. Nowthere’s not.
Since the accident, I’ve seenan outpouring of support bothfor me and for his roommates.I’ve had phone conversationswith all kinds of people fromother parts of my life, helpingme through it. I went over toShawn’s place a few times thisweekend, and there were alwayspeople over there spending time
with his roommates.When we’re together, it makes
the sadness a lot easier to handle,because we tell stories aboutShawn. But as soon as I’m alonewith my thoughts, it becomes alot more difficult.
Fortunately, one friend saidsomething that has stuck withme. When we were hanging outin the other room, Shawn wouldbeat on the wall to tell us he wasback from class. We’d beat backto let him know he should comeover or to see if he was awake.Sometimes, it would just turninto a loud battle back and forth.Regardless of the reason forthem, those beats will always bein our hearts until we get to seehim again.

Don’t let busy life interfere with meaningful time with friends
Surrounded by black andwhite balloons and otherNew Year’s Eve decorations,UNC students dancedaround the UniversityCenter Ballrooms and sangalong to some of 2011-12’sbiggest hits during ClubUNC Friday.
Nicole Larson, the tra-ditional events coordina-tor for the UniversityProgram Council, con-cocted the special eventto close out the Universityof Northern Colorado’sWinter Welcome Week.
Club UNC gave stu-dents another chance toenjoy ringing in the NewYear.
Larson said she knowsthat to have a blast, someparty elements must bemixed together.
“When people arrive,they get 2012 Silly Bandbracelets and noisemak-ers, and a secret surpriseat the end,” she said.
Larson, who spent herown New Year’s Eve inFort Collins, said manystudents left Greeley tojoin their families for theholidays. To give studentsa chance to ring in the
New Year with theirfriends, UPC decided tohost a party where stu-dents could enjoy every-thing New Year’s has tooffer all over again.
“It is a crazy idea tohave two New Year’s par-
ties, but it is to celebratethis time of the year withour friends on campus,”Larson explained.
The Greeley HumanResources Commission andUNC recognized MartinLuther King Jr. Day Mondayby co-sponsoring a marchand celebration in honor ofthe late reverend and hisdream of racial equality.
The event began with amarch from the GreeleyChamber of Commerce to theUnion Colony Civic Center,through downtown Greeleyand Lincoln Park. Once at theUCCC, community membersand students gave presenta-tions in honor of MLK.
The presentationsincluded a testimonial byFathi Barkadle, a junior psy-chology major, about herexperience with immigrat-ing to the United States.Touré, an author and TVpersonality, spoke abouthow it is important to real-
ize racism exists as muchtoday as it did during King’slifetime and how peoplemust keep combating it.
Along with the presenta-tions, the second annualDream Big, Spread Hope,Inspire Others CommunityAward was given to MariaSanchez, director of theUniversity of NorthernColorado’s Realizing OurCommunity program, forher work helping to pro-mote diversity and solidari-ty in the community.
The event was attendedby both UNC and Greeleycommunity members, all ofwhom were there to showsolidarity for King’s message.
Nicholas Ceehorne, aGreeley community member,said this was his second yearattending the event. He saidhe thinks it is important tokeep recognizing what Kingadvocated during his lifetime.
“I believe in Martin
Luther King’s dream, so I’vecome here the last twoyears,” Ceehorne said.“People need to keep striv-ing for what Martin Luther
King did and know thatevery little bit counts.”
Walt Becker, a seniorhistory major, said he wasglad he could participate in
the march.“Just because it’s a holi-
day doesn’t mean it’s a dayoff,” Becker said. “Weshould all be civicallyengaged, and this is theleast that I can do.”
Megan King, a junioranthropology major, said shethought the presentationswere particularly important.
“People think racism isover,” King said. “But, likeTouré said, it’s still a part of
our everyday lives. We need torealize that and keep workingtowards something better.”
Tori Peterson, a fresh-man environmental studiesmajor, said she was glad sheattended.
“There is no better dayto support a march thatpromotes diversity andacceptance of all kinds,”Peterson said. “It reallymakes you feel like you’re apart of something.”

Students can warm uptheir dancing feet and lis-ten to rock-solid local tal-ent during UNC StudentRadio’s Rock Radio Showat A.F. Ray’s this Friday.
Doors will open at 9p.m.
Ska Skank Redemptionis first in the lineup andwill be followed by T-shirtsfor Tomorrow, BonesMuhroni and The Say So.
Tickets are $10 for ages18-and-up and $5 for 21-and-older. This is the firstshow sponsored by UNC
Student Radio in 2012, andall four bands are musical-ly diverse in instrumenta-tion and style.
Sam Wood, a seniorgeography major andgeneral manager of UNCStudent Radio, said, “TheUNC Student Rock Radioshow at A.F. Ray’s willhopefully bring aware-ness about UNC StudentRadio and local artistsfrom Colorado. UNCRadio booked BonesMuhroni before they wonthe Battle of the Bands inDecember, and the rest ofthe artists have eitherplayed or wanted to play
for UNC Radio.”Crew Rienstra, a senior
acting major and acousticguitarist for BonesMuhroni, admitted thatthe band name’s name is adouble entendre. A bonymoroni is a rhythm-and-blues chord that wasplayed by artists like RayCharles, and it also servedas a childhood nicknamefor Rienstra.
Just as the self-pro-claimed folk-rock band’sname demonstrates dou-ble facets of meaning,Bones Muhroni’s music ismulti-dimensional insound.
Chris Jones, vocalistand guitarist for BonesMuhroni and senior actingmajor, described hisband’s sound as “brutallyhonest, true and full. Weput on a hell of a show. Wego out there, and this iswhat we love to do. OurFriday night’s the night toget down, and any chancewe have to do that is unbe-lievable. People will have agood time.”
The headliner of thenight, The Say So, is aDenver-based alternativeband that has playedtogether for the last threeyears.
“We’ve wanted to playGreeley, so it was justkinda perfect,” said bassistand keyboard player ChrisBeeble. “We all have vary-ing musical interests suchas Mute Math, Thrice,Incubus, Circa Survive andThe Black Keys. Obviously,we’re a unique hybrid ofthe things we love aboutother bands.”
The Say So has a simplephilosophy for their stageperformance: They wanteveryone who is watchingthem to be aware that they,as a band, are doing whatthey love.
Interested in pursuing
new areas of musical pro-duction, The Say So prom-ises to unveil a light show,which they have createdspecifically for the RockRadio Show. The Say Sobelieves that music isbecoming more of a multi-media entertainment.
“Though we are musi-cians, we are also fourvisual people who lovemovies and cinema, and(the light show) is our wayof combining visuals withour music,” Beeble said.
Proceeds from theevent will go to the bands,A.F. Ray’s staff and UNCStudent Radio.

In “Sister Carrie,”Theodore Dreiser’s classic,gritty novel of a youngwoman’s rise to stardom, thereader encounters the tribu-lations of making a name onBroadway and the toughtransition from ensemblework to a leading role.
Much like Carrie,Dreiser’s immortal protago-nist, UNC alumnus DerekHanson, who graduated witha degree in musical theater in2006, is navigating the com-plex workings of New York’sacting scene.
Starting on Jan. 10,Hanson has been onBroadway as an ensemblemember for “AnythingGoes,” the well-known musi-cal about romance on the SSAmerican. He is also the
understudy for both BillyCrocker (played by ColinDonnell) and Lord EvelynOakleigh (played by RobertPetkoff).
David Grapes,the director of theUniversity ofN o r t h e r nColorado’s Schoolof Theatre Artsand Dance,worked withHanson whenHanson partookin the New YorkShowcase, anevent where UNCstudents showtheir talent torenowned casting agents.
Grapes has followedHanson’s career with interest.
“Frequently, students willget calls and fly back andforth to New York. That’swhat happened to Derek,”
said Grapes, who recollectedhis experiences with Hanson.
At UNC, Hanson starredin “Go-Go Beach Woody,”“Jekyll and Hyde,” and “42nd
Street Thug.”The over-6-
foot-tall falsettosinger attributesmuch of his suc-cess to UNC’s the-ater program,which is small andencourages stu-dents to readnotable plays.
“UNC wasexactly the pro-gram I needed,”Hanson said.
“They focus on all aspects ofmusical theater: singing, act-ing and dancing — the triplethreat…UNC also makes itsstudents read the master-pieces like Shaw.”
Rehearsal for “Anything
Goes” began on Dec. 26. Hanson turned down the
chance to work with DanielRadcliff in “How to Succeedin Business Without ReallyTrying” to work on “AnythingGoes,” and he has beenenjoying the experience,especially working with big-name actors like Joel Grey,one of only eight actors whohas won both a Tony Awardand an Academy Award forplaying the same part.
“To be standing up onstage with them is a trip,”Hanson said. “I admirethem. It’s like seeing lifecome full circle.”
Hanson, who on averagegoes on 100-150 job inter-views a year, cautions thatthe life of an actor is not a“normal” career.
“There’s a lot of timeswhen you don’t know whenyour next check is coming
in,” said Hanson. “It’sbecoming increasingly diffi-cult, but you get what youput into it. Nine times out of10, (casting agents) say,‘Thank you, but we’re goinga different way.’ You have tohave thick enough skinwhen you don’t get it.”
Before his role onBroadway, Hansonappearedin thenationaltour of“ S h r e k :T h eMusical”as PapaOgre andStraw Pig#1.
He also did regionalwork, performing in showslike the Arvada Center’s“Best Little Whorehouse inTexas.”
The blued-eyed actorunderstands that audition-ing is like marketing: Theactor is attempting to sellhis or her type.
“We don’t like to thinkabout it, but we’re selling aproduct,” said Hanson,who argues his type is “thechorus guy who canunderstudy the lead.”
“The peo-ple whos t r u g g l ethe mostare theones whofight theirtype.”
Am e m b e rof the
Actor’s Equity Union,Hanson lives in New YorkCity with his wife, whomhe married in October2011.

Women’s hoops starts home stretch against GrizMICHAEL NOWELS
The UNC women’s bas-ketball team will host theUniversity of MontanaThursday and look to start athree-game home standwith a victory.
The University ofNorthern Colorado hasdeveloped a bit of a rivalrywith the Grizzlies (10-7, 3-1Big Sky) in both men’s andwomen’s basketball, soUNC’s squad is particularlyinterested in winning thisbear fight.
The team nicknames arenot the only things that aresimilar about these twoteams. Each team lost toDenver in non-conferenceplay, and both teams havebeaten Northern Arizona
and Eastern Washingtonand fallen at the hands ofIdaho State in the earlygoing of Big Sky Conferenceplay.
The Bears (11-7, 3-2) gota big game last time fromsophomore forward KimLockridge in their win overEWU. Lockridge poured in24 points on just 13 shotattempts, and she said shethinks her game is improv-ing as the team gets furtherinto the season.
“It’s a lot of my team-mates getting me the ballmore often, just looking forme, and I’m actually mak-ing my shots now,”Lockridge said.
Junior forward LaurenOosdyke said she thinkshigh-low action has been apart of the formula for
UNC’s success and can beused against Montana.
“Making the high-lowhappen is huge, and it reallyshrinks their defense moreinto the center of the paint,so high-low is going to be ahuge game againstMontana, for sure,”Oosdyke said.
Bears sophomoreguard D’shara Strangesaid she thinks her teamwill need to be successfulon the perimeter to openup Montana’s 2-3 zoneand make it vulnerable topost play.
“We’ve been a littletimid with (Montana’s)zone, so we need to practiceon our 3-point shotsbecause once we start hit-ting those, they’re going tocome out of it,” Strange
said. “Then, when that hap-pens, we can start attackingthe basket and the paintwith our post players.”
Strange leads the teamin scoring at 18.5 points pergame and in rebounding at10 per contest.
Grizzlies junior forwardKatie Baker earned Big SkyPlayer of the Week honorslast week, averaging 18points and 10 rebounds invictories over NorthernArizona and Weber State.
The Bears will need toexpose Montana’s poorshooting (36.5 percentfrom the field and 23.9percent from 3-pointrange) as well as be wary ofthe defensive prowess ofthe Grizzlies, who average10.5 steals and 5.8 blocksper game.
Oosdyke said the bottomline is that UNC must takeadvantage of home court inthe conference, as road winsare tough to come by.Lockridge said the same in
fewer words.“Home losses just put
you behind,” she said.Thursday’s game tips off
at 7:05 p.m. at Butler-Hancock Sports Pavilion.

Men’s basketball heads to Montana, Montana StateGRANT EVANS
After a short homestand, the UNC men’sbasketball team will travelnorth to take on Montana
and Montana State in amake-or-break road trip.
The University ofMontana (11-6, 4-1 BigSky) is currently in sec-ond place in the Big SkyConference and Montana
State University (8-8, 3-2)is tied for third.
Last year, theUniversity of NorthernColorado (6-10, 3-2) beatMontana in the Big SkyC o n f e r e n c eChampionship toadvance to the NCAATournament for the firsttime in school history.Junior guard Elliott Lloydsaid the team is lookingforward to the contestagainst Montana, a schoolthe team has developed abit of a rivalry with.
“They are a hard-com-peting team, and we aretrying to compete as hardas them,” Lloyd said. “Ifwe focus and execute, we
can get the jobdone.”
A f t e rSaturday’s winagainst EasternW a s h i n g t o n ,UNC headcoach B.J. Hillsaid his teamshowed a lot ofmaturity andthat he is look-ing for that tocontinue on theupcoming road trip.
“We will know a lot moreabout our team after thisweek, there is no doubt,”Hill said. “I feel a lot betterabout our competitivenessin terms of the level we aregoing to bring.”
M o n t a n acurrently ranksat the top ofalmost everydefensive cate-gory in the BigSky, and Hill ismore thanaware of thechallenge histeam’s offensefaces.
“We have tofocus on us,” Hill
said. “We have been beatingourselves too much this year.We have to take care of thebasketball, defend, reboundand when we do that, it givesus a chance to win night inand night out.”
Despite battling an ankle
injury for the past twoweeks, sophomore guardTate Unruh said he is stillnot 100 percent but remainshopeful that he can play inthe upcoming road trip.
“I tweaked it again againstEastern Washington, but dayby day it gets better,” Unruhsaid. “I’m planning on play-ing this week. Saturday forsure, but gosh, I want to playMontana.”
The Bears are scheduledto take on Montana at 7 p.m.Thursday in Missoula, Mont.,and Montana State at 7:05p.m. Saturday in Bozeman,Mont. With wins over bothopponents the Bears couldmove as high as second placein the Big Sky Conference.
