Professors from uni-versities across the coun-try, including UNC, aregetting the chance toteach a much larger audi-ence than that found inthe average classroomthrough Northeast PublicRadio’s “The AcademicMinute.”

“The Academic Minute”is a program thatairs on almost 60radio stationsacross NorthAmerica andfeatures a two-minute spotlighthighlighting ap r o f e s s o r ’ s

research or area of interest.Topics so far have rangedfrom groundbreaking sci-entific research to morepop culture-derived topics,such as trying to explainthe popularity of currentTV shows.

Four University ofNorthern Colorado pro-fessors have participatedin the program so far.

“Professors who partici-pate in ‘The Academic

Minute’ arefound through-out the UnitedStates, fromlarge prestigiousuniversities tosmall collegeswith less than1,000 students,”said Steven

Anderson, an earth sci-ences professor at UNCand director of the Mathand Science TeachingInstitute at UNC. “The top-ics cover the full spectrum

of things professors at uni-versities do with their time,from scientific research tothe arts to business. If aprofessor studies it, itcould be part ofthis program. Ithink over 100different schoolshave had profes-sors participatein this.”

Other profes-sors found thatworking on theradio show was a greatexperience.

“This program is sup-posed to help professorsshare their expertise andtell people what profes-sors do,” said MichaelMills, coordinator of Coreand Integrated Learning,co-director of the Life ofthe Mind Program and aprofessor in the College ofHumanities and SocialSciences.

Mills wanted to recordan AcademicMinute radioshow so he couldinform morepeople aboutsomething ofinterest to him –semiotics.

“I’m ateacher at heart,so (I did it) to inform alarger audience aboutsemiotics, which is thestudy of signs, for about aminute and 40 seconds.”

This program not onlyhelps audiences get a lookat the academic world,but it also helps promotethe university and thecommunity.

“The university seesthis program as a good

opportunity to promotetheir professors’ researchand the university itself,”said David Thomas, assis-tant professor of manage-

ment and man-a g e m e n tinstruction. “Iworked on myd i s c u s s i o ntopic with pro-fessor MichaelKimball. He’sthe director ofthe Honors,

Scholars and Leadershipprogram. My discussiontopic for the radio show isthe role that organiza-tions play in their com-munities is changing. I’mlooking at how landlordswho don’t invest at allinto their homes and howthat affects everyone in acommunity. I’m dis-cussing how some peopleare improving as an aca-demic providing a placeto promote learning, how

people need totake socialresponsibility inhow their com-munity looksand how affec-tive it is at help-ing the peoplewithin thatcommunity to

strive for better things.” Michael Opitz, a profes-

sor of elementary education,discussed the link betweenliteracy and fitness in youthduring his presentation.

POLL

Mirror Reflections are the opinion of The Mirror’s editorial board: Parker Cotton, Ryan Lambert, Sara Van Cleve, Melanie Vasquez and Benjamin Welch. Let us know what you think.E-mail us at [email protected].

Every issue, one of the editorsfrom The Mirror is required toreflect on something happeningin the world. Reflection isn’tcomplicated when there is recentand interesting news to discussand disseminate.

While virtually sifting throughdozens of articles on the web,this time was different. Or maybeit wasn’t different and enlighten-ment was found in the apparenthidden sting of current eventreports.

Before today it was easy toignore the almost complete neg-

ativity of news reports regurgitat-ed to us by personalities we aretold to trust. The realization sud-denly was prominent after eachwebsite visited was bustling witharticles designed to anger ordepress their audience. The topthree articles of BBC News as oftoday: lying politician, ship-wreck, death. For CNN: politicalfallacy, war deaths, rescue effortsend.

It’s not that easygoing,inspiring articles are completelymissing. These days they aretreats held especially in the

entertainment sections of news-papers or hidden in the week-end guides and fine prints. Evenin the entertainment sections,major news corporations arelikely not thinking of laughter,amusement or enjoyment whenthey list “entertainment” as asubcategory. What they reallymean is “people in entertain-ment”—celebrity gossip. Arts,music and movie reviews aremost often even more deeplyembedded in the maps of thesewebsites via subsections of sub-sections, which are often enti-

tled arts and culture.The sad thing is that cheerful-

ness is no longer mainstream.While serious news is vital toworldly issues, the regression ofnews has pushed what we shouldbe grateful for deep into a rabbithole. The United States hasbecome too wrapped up in sadis-tic violence, idiot criminals andname-brand celebrities and hasfailed to give due respect to thelights of life. America might agreethat news reports could do wellwith a lot more pie and a littleless brussel sprouts.

At UNC, the new yearand new semestercan bring about

plenty of opportunities forstudents.

Resolutions, be they to quitdrinking so much, exercisemore, or get better grades, arealways reasons to anticipate anew-and-improved you. GreekLife also utilizes this fresh startin order to assess the previoussemester and set goals for thecoming term. Many leadershiproles have changed followingelections in November, andorganizations will start off theyear combing campus for theirnext pledge class. It is well

known among fraternities andsororities that, as slim as thenumber of potential membersmay be, spring recruitment iscrunch-time.

The frenzy of events, tours,and interviews, although effec-tive, seldom rivals the excite-ment and anticipation ofUNC’s fall rush. Whether thefall brings about better weath-er, or perhaps a more enthusi-astic campus, the springsemester continues to maintainan underestimated advantage.

The typical fall freshmanrecruit may have a precon-ceived view of what Greek Lifeis all about, and most are excit-ed to join a cause greater thanthemselves. The decision torush can include the chance tomake new friends and perhapsbask in the more vibrant socialevents. However, for somenewcomers, the pressure to

impress your favorite houseand the sheer volume of cam-pus events can be overwhelm-ing enough to reserve yourinvolvement for a later time(this was the case for me.)

Fast-forward to January,where interest in rushing mayhave taken a dive, but the fewwho remain had ample time toexplore other areas of involve-ment, focus on classes, anddiscover their adult selves.Such credentials make youngmen and women extremelysought-after, and though hardto come by, make for well-pre-pared members of Greek Lifeor otherwise.

Whether you are an incom-ing freshman or an experi-enced upperclassman, realizethat the spring recruitmentseason may be the time for youto give Greek Life a chance.The slower-paced environment

and the intimacy of the springprocess may prove to contrastany assumptions Greek Lifeexpressed to you during fall.

So if you have never consid-ered joining a Greek organiza-tion, or if the thought of JohnBelushi in a toga makes youcringe, I understand, but Iinsist that you take my wordfor it when I say Greek Life haschanged my life for the better,and has made me a more suc-cessful student and a moreinvolved member of this com-munity. If you decide to rush, Icannot guarantee you thesame, however, I know thateveryone deserves a chance toexplore the idea of becomingpart of an organization at thisuniversity.

The Board of Trusteesended their final meetinglast semester with a unani-mous vote allowing MineralResources, Inc. to begindrilling for natural gas andoil on UNC property.

The University ofNorthern Colorado willreceive at least $123,110under the drilling contractand 16 percent in royaltiesfor any gas and oil found oncampus property.

Kay Norton, the presi-

dent of UNC, said theagreement allows MineralResources, Inc. to utilize246 acres of campus prop-erty for horizontal drilling.Surface activity will beminimal, as drilling occurs7,000 feet below groundand deeper, which willaffect no aquifers or anycampus activity.

Drilling locations willbe between 3rd and 4thAvenue and 17th Street.

The drilling will be farenough from any campusactivity that UNC stu-dents should not be

affected, which increasedsome students’ support ofthe project.

“As long as it doesn’taffect our studious atmos-phere and provides moneyfor the school then I’m allfor it,” said James Church,a freshman marketing andaccounting major.

Each horizontal oilwell contains approxi-mately 20,000 quarts ofoil and 500,000 MCF ofnatural gas. One MCF isequal to 1,000 cubic feetof natural gas.

“With relatively new

horizontal oil wells, wewill be able to obtainmore oil,” said LoganRichardson, land manag-er of Mineral Resources,Inc. “We hope to see moreproduction from thisprocess.”

Richardson said hori-zontal wells take about twoto three weeks to fill upwhile vertical wells takeabout a week.

Plans are still beingmade for when thedrilling will happen butconstruction will contin-ue at each of these sites

while the city prepares forthis resource production.

Mineral Resources Inc.explained they also have 10current sites in WeldCounty, including some

west and south of Greeley.For more information

Student Senate Update

Representatives discuss university, Senate improvementsCARMEN BRADY

[email protected]

During this week’s UNCStudent Senate meeting,Senate members discussed avariety of issues brought tothe Senate’s attention by stu-dents as well as possiblechanges to the functioning ofSenate.

Between StudentSenate’s meetings lastweek and this week,Senate members wereasked by Tyler Ames, thedirector of Finance, andKatelyn Elliott, the stu-dent body president at theUniversity of NorthernColorado, to ask studentsaround campus what theythought the most promi-nent issues with the uni-versity were.

The Senate memberscollected a wide range ofproblems students felt need-

ed to be addressed, withmore than 40 individualcomplaints.

There was variation inthe complaints, as well assome overlap, with issuesincluding AcademicAdvising, Dining Services,Parking Services andschool spirit.

Members of Senate dis-cussed the issues studentsbrought up to them in themeeting, though no finalizedlist was made. Ames request-ed that each member lookover what had been broughtup and choose six of theissues they felt were mostimportant, and bring themto the next meeting.

From there, Ames saidhe plans to make a finallist of the six most impor-tant issues and conduct aschool-wide survey to seewhich of those six issuesstudents would most like

to see addressed.Ames said he is pushing

this survey because he feelsthere are many issues stu-dents would like to seeaddressed, and Senate is theonly body on campus capa-ble of doing so.

“The biggest problemthat we have right now is thatalthough Student Senate ismeeting its requirements, wearen’t actually going out andfinding issues that studentshave to make sure that thoseissues are met,” Ames said.“So the reason why I have ahuge push and I’m reallypassionate about it is thereare a lot of issues that overthe past five years I’ve beenhere that still haven’t beenmet, and that will continueto not be met … the reasonwhy I’m doing it now isbecause it has to get done atsome point.”

Both Ames and Elliott

said last meeting they wereplanning on discussing arestructuring of Senate thissemester, which was dis-cussed this session.

Elliot said members hadexpressed eliminating orcombining some of themore superfluous positionson Senate to have a smallercabinet.

Though this was met bygeneral consent by the wholeof the Senate, members hadseparate ideas of how to goabout restructuring Senate.

Though it was discussedfor a while and differentideas were expressed, it wasultimately decided that aseparate committee wasneeded to finalize and for-malize the ideas, which willbe discussed next session.

Levi Fuller, the director ofStudent Affairs, said hethinks a restructure anddownsize of Senate is neces-

sary because job responsibil-ities are spread unevenlyacross the cabinet, and hethinks Senate itself does notfunction as well as it mightbecause of that.

“I think if we were torestructure and make itsmaller and create more jobsfor different schools, then itwould be much more pro-ductive,” Fuller said. “Wecould form focused commit-tees instead of trying to geteverything done in StudentSenate meetings.”

William Schiffelbein, theelections commissioner forthis spring’s election, pre-sented his timeline for theelection to be approved bySenate. Though no one hadany objections to the time-line itself, the timeline didnot pass because of concernsSenate members had aboutthe restructuring.

Schiffelbein will pres-

ent a timeline next ses-sion for approval.

Charlie Charbonneau,director of StudentOrganizations, introducedfor approval a newOrganization Funding Boardmember. One of the previ-ous members could nolonger make it to meetings,and needed to be replaced.

The proposed memberwas Krystal Duff, a seniorcommunication studiesmajor. The proposal passedunanimously.

Lauren Zdanowitz, theStudent Trustee, said sheattended the Board ofTrustees meeting lastweek, where next fiscalyear’s tuition increasewas discussed.

“The goal was to onlyraise tuition for in-state stu-dents nine percent,”Zdanowitz said. “But this isnot finalized yet.”

Friends remember ‘light’ Yoho brought to UNCKRISTEN MARTIN

[email protected]

Students and friends ofUNC student Shawn Yohogathered around a single yel-low candle in his memoryThursday on the lawn nearLawrenson Hall.

Yoho, a sophomorecommunication studiesmajor, died from injuriessustained in a car accidentin Utah Jan. 12.

Childhood friends ofYoho, Eric Bloom, a juniorcommunication studiesmajor at the University ofNorthern Colorado, andJesse Christy led the candle-light vigil.

“Shawn was a light to myworld and I bet that he was alight to all yours,” Christysaid. “Shawn made me smileno matter what. That’s what Iremember most about him.”

Matt Estrin, a worshipminister at Journey ChristianChurch, met Yoho atChipotle the Thursday beforethe accident and had askedhim about a sociology classhe was in.

“The professor made ablanket statement that ifyou’re a religious person,you’re gonna hate this classand said ‘I’m pretty muchgonna slam your faith,’”Estrin said.

He asked Yoho how hefelt about it, to which hequoted James 1:2-4 from theBible, a passage that address-es perservering faith evenunder scrutiny.

“I can’t wait to get my faithtested,’ he said. That’s the lastmemory I’ll have of Shawnand that’s a great memory,”Estrin said.

Kyle Hope, one of Yoho’s

bandmates, was in the carwith Yoho when the acci-dent occurred and sharedhis best memories of himduring the vigil.

“It’s a recurring themehow he makes friendsbecause he was kind of acreeper sometimes and theway I met him is kind of a Godthing,” Hope said. “Senioryear of high school, we wereat two separate schools and attwo separate churches and hesomehow found out that Iwas a worship leader and thatI was good at guitar. Hesomehow got my number, Idon’t know how, and he juststarted texting me.”

Hope said Yoho askedhim if he wanted to be in hisband. After listening to hismusic, Hope told Yoho hewas not into his punk style ofmusic, but they decided togive it a chance anyway.

“Later on we actually metat the same church, and itwas kind of awkward, but wefound out we were bothgoing to UNC and that wewere gonna be in the samedorm,” Hope said. “It waskind of like, ‘Oh, God has apurpose for this.’”

They eventually got theirband together and were con-tinually writing songs andplaying their guitars.

“He was so talented, hecould harmonize with any-thing,” he said. “It was amaz-ing. I’ll definitely rememberthat. I don’t know if I’ll findthat again. God put us togeth-er and he opened this door togo to California, it was ourfirst big gig and we were real-ly excited to go.”

On the day of the acci-dent, he said, they stopped ata scenic point in Utah.

“I went out on this ledgeand looked out at all of the skyand the hills, it was just beau-tiful,” he said. “I went over tothe edge by myself and closedmy eyes and felt the wind andfelt God and a couple secondslater I felt Shawn touch me.We just talked about it togeth-er for a second. It was beauti-ful. I felt like it was kind of agoodbye. It was a God thing,just to be with each other for asecond, just me and him.”

Hope said it was Yoho’sdream to go on tour andspread his faith.

“He just wanted to reachout,” he said. “That justshows his heart and howmuch love he had for every-body. That’s why there are amillion people affected bythis. Gosh, I’m gonna misshim so much. I know he’swith Jesus.”

Hope said they oftendescribed the music they cre-ated as heavenly.

“We were writing a songfor this camp and he made aguitar line with his new pedalboard and we’d always say,‘Man, that sounds so heaven-ly,’” he said. “I just know heknows what that really meansnow. He was a God-sentfriend and I loved him. I’llmiss Shawn. He had a beauti-ful heart.”

Bloom said he loved hear-ing all of the stories and toldthe crowd that most of hismemories involved adven-tures with Yoho.

“Most of my memorieswith Shawn are of laughingat one of our own expenses,”Bloom said. “We were play-ing dodgeball and (I) waswearing glasses. Shawn has arocket for an arm and he hitsme in the corner of my glass-

es and shatters them. Shawnjust comes over with thisgoofy smile and says, ‘Ohman, I’m so sorry,’ and I wasjust like, ‘I wish you hadglasses right now.’”

He said his favorite mem-ory of Yoho was at a mutualfriend’s brother’s weddingand they decided to go four-wheeling in the groom’sNissan Altima before therehearsal dinner.

“We’re up in Conifer andwe decide to find some areasthat have some sweet turnswe’re gonna go around,” hesaid. “We were going aroundthis corner drift and on theleft side is a 10-foot ditch andto the right was a mountain.Shawn didn’t realize that youhave to avoid the ditch, so hedrifts around it and half thecar is hanging in the ditch andhalf is hanging on the dirt.We’re all laughing and Taylorand I had to walk three milesto finally find a firefighter. Wecome back and Shawn andJoe are just tossin’ a baseball.”

Bloom also shared a timewhen he and Yoho shared acabin for two weeks at camp.Bloom and the other cabin-mates were always woken upat 6 a.m. by Yoho’s ringtone of“Gone” by Toby Mac.

“At 6 o’clock his TobyMac ringtone would go offand wake up everyone,” hesaid. “I’ve been realizing overthis past week, there’s thatline in his ringtone, ‘Younever know what you got tillit’s gone.’ When I think ofShawn over the last week, asI’ve been processing throughall the emotions and theheartache, I never really,really realized the friend Ihad in Shawn until now. Hewas one of the most genuine

guys I’ve ever met.”Jarrett Durant, a sopho-

more journalism major, livedwith Yoho this past semesterand copes with the loss bytelling stories involving Yoho.

“Living with him, we justkind of forged this reallytight-knit family,” Durantsaid. “We spent our entiredays with that kid. We havestories that never ever runout. That’s how we’ve beendealing with this whole thingis just going through all thosefunny stories and we havetoo many…It’s been crazygetting to know him the waywe have.”

There was a marchthrough the 11th Avenue tun-nel so attendees could seeYoho’s signed handprint onthe wall. The vigil concludedat the University Center.

“The reason why westopped here at the UC andending it here is because it is

the last spot Shawn was at onthis university before hepassed away,” Christy said.“He was here playing musicfor the talent show put on byUNC. He was here worship-ping and showing God topeople who didn’t know Him.He went out doing the thinghe loved, and that’s one of thebiggest things. He was on hisway to worship God, andthat’s what Shawn did, heworshipped God.”

With Montana wel-coming the UNCwomen’s basketball teamhome Thursday, expecta-tions over the rivalrygame were high, but the

Bears came away with the59-42 win at Butler-Hancock Sports Pavilion.

Montana’s (10-8, 3-2 BigSky) defense forced theUniversity of NorthernColorado (12-7, 4-2) to turnthe ball over 10 times in thefirst half. The trouble forMontana was sinking the ball

into the net — a problemUNC senior forward KaishaBrown was not having.

Brown was the second-leading scorer for theBears with 13 points, nineof which came off 3-pointers, the last of whichpassed former Bear andteammate, CourtneyStoermer, for 3-pointersmade in a career, totaling178. Brown’s first two 3-pointers in the game wereback-to-back at thebeginning of the first half.Brown said it was anhonor to break a formerteammate’s record.

“That wasn’t her maingame,” Brown said. “Shehas all those steal records,and so it’s just what wealways did. She has allthose assists and most ofmy threes are from assistsfrom Courtney, so it’scool to break someone’srecord who you’ve playedwith.”

The Bears went into

halftime with a 28-16 lead,and started the second halfjust as strong as the first,eventually building a 23-point lead.

UNC junior forwardLauren Oosdyke had agame-high 20 points,which Oosdyke said wasimportant because of thestruggles she has hadagainst Montana.

“Montana’s defensehas always been tough forme to play against per-sonally, and I think as ateam we’ve struggledbefore,” Oosdyke said. “Ijust tried to find the gapswhen I was open onoffense and tried to driveto the bucket more andtried to get fouls.”

UNC sophomoreguard D’shara Strangehad a career-high 15rebounds, good for onethird of the Bears’ 45 totalrebounds.

“I felt like we were soliddefensively all night,” UNC

head coach Jaime Whitesaid. “There were a couplemisreads, but for the mostpart, I felt we were prettysolid.”

Montana is the first ofthree opponents in the rowthe Bears are hosting, withMontana State visitingSaturday.

“I think this gave us alot of confidence, beatingMontana,” Oosdyke said.“Beating Montana’salways great, it’s a bigrivalry. It’s going to giveus a lot of confidence, and

we know we can beat any-one in this conference.We just have to come outto play every singlenight.”

The team’s blowout wasa great way to celebrateWhite’s birthday. The lasttime the Bears played onWhite’s birthday was duringthe 2007-08 season, whenthe Bears defeated PortlandState, 61-56, at home.

“Birthdays have beengood for me,” White said.“I don’t want to have oneon every home game, butonce a year’s not bad. It’sbeen fun. The girls areawesome and we kind ofjoke around about birth-days, but the kids aregood kids, they’ve beenworking hard and we justhope every game’s likethis one.”

The Bears are back inaction against MontanaState (12-6, 4-2) at 2:05p.m. Saturday at Butler-Hancock Sports Pavilion.

After two close lossesagainst the University ofNorthern Iowa andCalifornia State atBakersfield, the UNCwrestling team is lookingto regroup and preparefor a tough weekend atthe No. 21-ranked team inthe nation according toIntermat Wrestling,Oregon State.

“You have to look at itas a great opportunity,”

UNC headcoach BenC h e r r i n g t o nsaid. “Some oftheir best guysare going tomatch upagainst some ofour best guys.”

Oregon Stateboasts fourw r e s t l e r sranked in thetop 20 in the 10 weightclasses according toIntermat with sopho-mores R.J. Pena (157

pounds) andScott Sakaguchi(149 pounds)both ranked No.18, freshmanTaylor Meeksranked No. 17at 197 poundsand senior 285-p o u n d e rClayton Jackranked No. 5.The Bears said

they are excited for theopportunity to competeagainst some of the bestwrestlers in the country,hoping to catch theBeavers off guard.

“If they overlook us,there is always a chancethat we go in there andtake care of business,”Cherrington said.

With a little more thana third of the season gone,the Bears said matchingup against better compe-tition will give them a bet-ter interpretation on what

needs fine-tuning head-ing into the bulk of theseason.

“Each week that we’vehad, I’ve been slowly per-fecting some of the things Ineed to work on,” said sen-ior Casey Cruz, who is 10-4at 141 pounds. “Now thatit’s the turning pointtowards nationals, I’mrediscovering some of theweaknesses I have in certainsituations and kind oftweaking them. We have thepotential to be one of thetop teams right now afterI’ve seen where we havebeen.”

The team has highexpectations and looks tosurprise the competition.Not all of the Bears are float-ing under the radar, though.

Senior Gabe Burak is ranked13th in the 165 weight classaccording to Intermat.

“We are building everyday, getting better and seek-ing to improve,” Burak said.“The ultimate goal is to wina national title. I think afterlast week, we will be focusedand ready to fight for sevenminutes if we want to win.”

The Bears all have highaspirations and know thatrankings do not mean any-thing until nationals.Members of the team saidthey are confident that if eachwrestler takes care of hismatch, the dual will take careof itself.

“The pressure is alwayson a team like that whenthey are wrestling a team likeus,” Cherrington said.
