the heart of a 6-year-oldboy. I want people toknow how good heartedof a person he was. Hewas always smiling,telling jokes. He was just a

warm person.”Pilkington wanted to

The Friends of theUNC Libraries hostedauthor R. W. “Ben” Benoitin Michener Library todiscuss his ancestors, theAcadians, and theirdeportation from theirhome in Nova Scotia toBritish colonies through-out the world.

Benoit, a 10th genera-tion Acadian, presented“Acadia: History’sForgotten Atrocity,” whichfocused primarily on thehistory of the Acadians’deportation around the18th century.

He began the presen-tation talking about hisfaithful companion, “Mr.History,” saying he has amemory that could even

“Well, I got on myhands and knees andwent under the rug, andimagine what I foundthere,” Benoit said. “Ifound Acadia.”

The Acadians original-ly sailed to the Bay ofFundy from France in1504, landing in PortRoyal and becoming oneof the first colonies ofNorth America.

UNC supporting S.B. 12-015 encourages more illegal immigrationKARL HONEGGER

While UnitedStates immi-gration laws

are stupid and restricteconomic growth, givingillegal aliens in-statetuition only makes theillegal immigration prob-lem worse. ColoradoSenate Bill 12-015 tries todo so.

These “undocumentedresidents” are illegalaliens as they still haveforeign citizenship. Theyonly become immigrants

in the U.S. when theygive up the right to citi-zenship in their parentcountry. Residing in theU.S. does not make youan immigrant. The onlyreason an individualwouldn’t have documen-tation is because theydecided not to use thesame means of entry intothe country as a U.S. citi-zen is required. Even aU.S.-born citizen likemyself can only cross theborders of my countrythrough authorized legalmeans. If I do not pro-

vide documentation ofmy visit to a foreigncountry, I am in thatcountry illegally.

Giving illegal immi-grants in-state tuitiongives them better privi-leges than legal immi-grants of most otherstates. A resident of NewMexico who is a legalimmigrant from Mexicoends up paying more for aUNC college degree thanan illegal alien! Whyshould we use Coloradolaw to discriminateagainst law-abiding U.S.

citizens and punish legalimmigrants? Peoplerespond to incentives,and giving discountedtuition to illegal alienswill only increase theamount of them cominginto our state.

These illegal aliens needto return to their homecountry and apply for citi-zenship. Those withMexican citizenship canattend colleges in Mexico forthousands of dollars a yearless than at UNC. I’ve evenhad a professor who got hisdegree in Mexico. This

proves that legal immigrantscan still get a U.S. job if theyhave a foreign degree. TheUNC Board of Trustees sup-porting Senate Bill 12-015indicates that if they weregiven the option, they woulddiscount their tuition forillegal aliens. They think thiswill make the problem bet-ter. This “solution” wouldonly increase the amount ofillegal aliens in our state andcreate incentives for them tostay.

The responsibility ofUNC is to provide tuitionto legal residents, and

indicating support forillegal aliens attendingUNC is disrespectful tolegal UNC students.Making the path to citi-zenship drastically easieris vital for our economyand society. However, theuniversity needs to showrespect to legal Coloradoresidents such as myselfand stop trying to makethe situation worse. Nottill they rescind theirposition will they deserveour respect.

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 editor@uncmirror.com.

At the Student Senate OpenForum and weekly meeting onTuesday and Wednesday, respec-tively, the downsizing of gradeinflation at UNC received a con-siderable amount of support fromcandidates and Senate membersalike.

Although it’s nice to see bothparties passionate about a specifictopic, the problem of grade infla-tion is being made out to be a big-ger problem than it actually is.

Granted, the proposed resolu-tion submitted to Senate is correctwhen it recognizes “the increasingdisparity of high grades awardedin certain departments,” implyingthat it’s easier to earn a higher

grade in a certain major, commu-nication studies, for example, thanit is in a more difficult major, suchas biology or business.

However, there’s a very simplereason as to why that is: somemajors are just easier than others.Additionally, it’s not just a profes-sor’s fault as to how difficult acourse is. Students have to be heldliable for their part, as well.

If students in a particularmajor aren’t getting high grades,maybe they should look at them-selves first before blaming a pro-fessor. A major’s difficulty is onlyas challenging as a student’s workethic makes it.

The proposed resolution to

Senate also pointed out “the nega-tive effect grade inflation has onthe integrity of the academic insti-tution.” This shouldn’t be consid-ered a valid point because the dif-ficulty between a communicationstudies course and a biologycourse at Stanford University isjust as disparate because of therespective self-evident natures ofthe classes, but this does not affectthe academic integrity of Stanford,does it?

Furthermore, the proposedresolution asks that “no moretha(n) 30% of a class consisting ofmore than fifteen studentsshould” receive a grade betterthan a B, making this a proposed

resolution that has the potential tosystematically prevent somebodyfrom earning a grade they rightful-ly deserved thanks to a rule devel-oped by a stranger in a more diffi-cult major that couldn’t stand theheat of their own courses.

So, as Senate elections getunderway next week, realize thatyou chose your major for a reason.So did the people you’re votingfor.

Take care of yourself. Don’tworry about what students inother classes are doing or howhard or easy their major may be.They made their own bed. Nowthey must lie in it, just like every-body else.

Election season is uponus, both in nationalpolitics and here at

UNC. As President Barack Obama

awaits the revealing of his officialopponent that the RepublicanParty will offer, campaigning andadvertising has begun for StudentSenate candidates. Before I beginmy rant regarding Ron Paul’splace in this mess of an election, Iwould like to mention that I haveofficially begun my own cam-paign as a write-in candidate for

the director of Diverse Relations.Relative to the Ron Paul cam-paign, candidates like us need astrong base, and must sometimesconsider the math and the realityof potential results.

Now, I’d be hard pressed tosay Dr. Paul thinks he’s out of therace, but his delegate numbersare simply too low to continue.This being the case, one mustalso take a look at Paul’s careerand voting record in Congress;such a legacy would suggest thatstubbornness has been the key toany of his success. Paul has nevervoted to raise taxes or grantpower to the government. Paul isa firm Libertarian who believes infree markets and civil liberties.He gains much of his supportfrom young people, YouTubersand college-age activists. With his

tenure in Congress, we canassume he knows his chances ofactually winning the Republicannomination. Why then, is he stillin the race?

Paul has always had a dedica-tion to his beliefs. Some havecalled them radical whereas oth-ers even suggest that age hasdone its job on his mind.However, his lack of electabilityalong with his current challengesin this race lead me to believethat he will most likely take theloss from the GOP and run as athird-party candidate.

What would this mean forthe Republican nominee? MittRomney (who will become theGOP nominee), who has alreadybeen polling low againstObama, would now have anoth-er problem on his hands.

Although Paul has been losingin almost every statewide dele-gate race, he still seems to pickup about 10 percent of eachstate’s GOP vote. If Paul stays inthe race and pursues his finalpolitical venture, Mitt couldstand to lose a substantialamount of votes during thepresidential election.

My prediction is that if RonPaul stays in the race untilNovember, his small yet loyalvoting base will vote in hisfavor, contrary to the fact thatthe actual Republican candidatemay lose. Essentially, if Paulgoes all the way, Obama will beelected for a second term.

Students who haveever dreamed of workingside-by-side MickeyMouse had the opportu-nity to find out how tomake that dream a realitywhen the Disney CollegeProgram visited UNCThursday.

The Disney college pro-gram started more than 30years ago at Disney World togive college students theopportunity to gain real-lifeexperience in their majorsthrough working for Disney.It is now available at bothWalt Disney World Resort inFlorida and DisneylandResort in California. The

program is open to studentsof all majors and years at theUniversity of NorthernColorado.

Getting the internship is athree-step process: the appli-cation, a web-based inter-view and a phone interview.

John Stephenson, aDisney College representa-tive, said students don’tcompete against one anoth-er, only themselves, for aDisney College position. If astudent is qualified anddedicated during the appli-cation process, a positionwill be made for them.

The number of internsvaries each semester,though it averages about7,000 students with about12 coming from UNC every

semester. Stephenson saidstudents who come to theinformational meetinghave a better chance ofearning an internshipbecause they have seenwhat qualifications Disneyis looking for.

“I was grinning throughthe entire presentation, so Ithink that’s a sign I need todo this,” said Emma Cohn,a senior theater major.

Once accepted to theprogram, students havethe opportunity to select“roles” — Disney speakfor jobs — they’re inter-ested in working. Theseinclude food service, mer-chandise, custodial andattractions, but there aremore than 30 from which

to choose.In the program, stu-

dents also have the free-dom to go into the park atany time when they’re notworking and bring up tothree guests once they’ve

worked for two weeks. Disney college alumni

speak fondly of thefriendships they made.

Getting work experi-ence and making lastingfriendships all whileworking for one of thecompanies he loves arethe reasons why JulianGines, a current UNC sen-ior and Disney Collegerepresentative, says heloved his internship.

Disney College is bene-ficial even to students inmajors that seem com-pletely unrelated to thecompany because there arebenefits to interning with aFortune-100 company.

Working for Disneylooks good to many pro-fessional companies andgraduate schools. Internshave the opportunity totake a networking classwhere they meet with amajor Disney hiring exec-utive each week if theychoose to do so instead oftaking the college classesthat Disney offers.

“You’re going to have towork with people,”Stephenson said. “Nobodydoes that better than theWalt Disney company.”

was nice to learn the historyof it,” said Helen Reed, thedean of Michener Library atthe University of NorthernColorado.

They were ruled by KingLouis XIV of France but weretraded to Queen Ann ofEngland during the Treaty ofUtrecht. The Acadians didn’tfavor their new position withBritain and decided to remainneutral between the twocountries.

However, when KingGeorge came to power inGreat Britain, he wanted tocapitalize on the 13,000Acadians by taxing and dis-continuing their practices inFrench culture and adoptBritish culture.

It wasn’t until 1755 that

the Boston Port leased anumber of cattle ships to theBritish and landed on NovaScotia to start the deportationprocess. First, they separatedthe men from the women andchildren, giving the men achance to sign a proclama-tion surrendering their rightsto gain independence fromBritain.

“I thought he added someinformation,” said ShirleySoenksen, a library techni-cian with Michener Library. “Ididn’t know of what it was liketo have the men and womenseparated, but that wouldhave been devastating forboth sides.”

Upon refusal to sign theproclamation, the British,keeping the men separatedfrom the women and chil-dren, led the Acadians to their

ships and dropped them offat various British Coloniesaround the world.

“I thought it was inform-ative,” said ThomasSpellman, an earth sciencesmaster’s program alumnus.“I echo his sentiment that itis probably an under-researched part of history.

Many of the Acadiandescendents settled inLouisiana and are known as

Cajuns. It is unclear howmany Acadians reunited withtheir families, though.

Baseball heads to Seattle for three-game setMICHAEL NOWELS

sports@uncmirror.com

The UNC baseball teamlooks to add a few more roadvictories before heading intothe conference season as ittravels to the GreatNorthwest to take on SeattleUniversity in a three-gameset this weekend.

The University ofNorthern Colorado (8-11) is4-4 on the road so far thisseason, with victories overbig-name programs likeWashington State andNebraska. Junior catcherDerek Baum said he thinksroad games are less chaoticbecause the focus is square-ly on baseball.

“Being on the road, we’renot as rushed like on aFriday trying to get fromclass to the field,” he saidWednesday after practice.

The Emerald City’s noto-rious humidity willundoubtedly play a role thisweekend.

“Humidity always plays afactor in how the game’splayed,” senior pitcher NateSteinmetz said. “It makesthe ball travel less far whenthe batter hits it, but itmakes your ball move a lotmore as a pitcher, too, so it’ssomething you need to getused to in the bullpen beforeyou go out to the game.”

The humidity factor intheir home games may playa part in how the Redhawks

(12-9) play ball, as they playa more low-scoring brand ofbaseball. They average 4.4runs per game. UNC aver-ages 5.9 runs per game,playing in a dryer climate athome. UNC head coach CarlIwasaki said, however, thathe plans on his team playingits own game, regardless ofthe opponent, as the gameitself is a difficult opponent.

“We just play against thegame,” Iwasaki said. “We’llnot play against the jersey.”

The Bears andRedhawks have a commonopponent in Nebraska-Omaha. UNC took two ofthree games from UNO,and Seattle swept a LeapDay doubleheader fromUNO. Baum said he thinks

the team is in a better placenow that it has found arhythm in the season.

“Once you get into theseason more, everythingjust starts to gel better,” hesaid. “We start playing welltogether, we start knowingour roles more and we canfocus on getting our jobsdone as part of the team.”

Baum also said theRedhawks’ pitchers are notflamethrowers, but they useaccuracy to pitch effectively.

“From what I’ve heard,they don’t really have any-thing overpowering but theylocate well — they keep theball down,” Baum said.

Iwasaki said his travelteam will be heavily left-handed at the plate to coun-

teract the three right-hand-ed starters of Seattle.

The series starts at 7 p.m.

tonight as is followed by 2p.m. games on Saturday andSunday.

New leadership, excitement fills spring practiceTARIQ MOHAMMAD

sports@uncmirror.com

While UNC studentsenjoy a string of warm days to

bring int h emonthof April,t h em e m -bers of

the University of NorthernColorado football team lacedup their cleats this week at thestart of spring football.

Monday was the officialstart of practices in an off-season that pleads forimprovement after a dismal2011 season, and the maingoals are sure to includegrowth and progression.

“Leadership and effort,hands down,” sophomorelinebacker ClarenceBumpas said. “Last year,we had somewhat of an

effort but wewere lackingleadership. Butnow I think thatan 0-11 seasonopened peo-ple’s eyes andthey realizeexactly howimportant lead-ership is for ayoung teamsuch as ours.”

The team has workedconsistently during thewinter with the director ofstrength and condition-ing/sports performancecoach, Lavell “Dinky”Williams. Four o’clockmornings may have notbeen very appealing forthe Bears, but they haveproved to make a differ-ence in preparation forspring football.

“It’s progressively get-ting better; we just have to

keep going,”head coachEarnest CollinsJr. said. “Thereal test willcome when westart wearingpads every dayand guys are hit-ting each otherand tacklingeach other.That’s when the

true test of ‘have we gottenbetter?’ will come out.”

The Bears expect tohave their first day of fullpads today.

The start of spring ballalso presented the emer-gence of a new, muchmore vocal leader: start-ing quarterback SethLobato, who will be a jun-ior next season.

“I’m more of a lead-by-example type of guy,but if guys need fire litunderneath them, myselfand others will providethat for them,” Lobatosaid. “I’m trying to pro-mote an environment tobreed success.”

Collins said he could nothave been more pleasedwith Lobato for becoming astronger leader.

“I love it, I love it,”Collins said. “He under-stands that in order to getbetter, we got to put inextra work. It was great tosee him take on that lead-ership role.”

With an entire seasoncomplete as the startingquarterback, Lobato feelscomfortable with his sur-roundings and is nowexcited for his secondyear, an opportunity togrow and develop inside a

familiar offense.“The overall experi-

ence from last year isgoing to help out andbeing in the same offen-sive system is also goingto be helpful,” saidLobato, who threw for 17touchdowns and 2,448yards last season. “Itbecomes second naturefor my teammates and I.That will lead to instinc-tual-type plays.”

The offense has theirleader, and so does thedefense. Bumpas, wholed the team with a whop-ping 145 tackles last sea-son, said Lobato is clearlythe leader of the team.

“Everyone knows he’sa leader, but is one ofthose lead-by-examplekind of guys,” Bumpassaid. “With him beingmore vocal, it definitely

spoke volumes.”With leadership devel-

oping, Collins said he islooking now more thanever for effort. Springfootball is being used as ameasurement for the off-season to evaluate wherethe team is and whatthings it needs to work on

entering the summer,Collins said.

The excitement ofbeing back on the fieldshined as bright as thespring sun, and the Bearsseem to be prepared togrow and make progressas they motivate andinspire one another tobecome better.

“All-in-all, it’s theexcitement—shear excite-ment—to see if all thework we’ve done is reallycoming to it and to see ifwe can pull together as ateam,” Bumpas said. “Inball games, it really comesdown to who wants it themost. The team that worksthe hardest is going togive the best effort and thebest effort in any situationis a ‘W.’ I think we defi-nitely are going in thatdirection.”

ALEXANDER ARMANI-MUNNnews@uncmirror.com

During Wednesday’sStudent Senate session,Senate approved twoappointments to theStudent Judiciary, beganthe first round of theStudent Fee AllocationProcess, heard a new res-olution and updates onseveral projects.

Senate appoints twonew justices

Student Rights AdvocateSamantha Fox recentlyconducted interviews withfour candidates vying fortwo vacancies on theStudent Judiciary, and can-didates participated in anopen forum Tuesday to give

Senate members a chanceto get to know the candi-dates better.

Fox’s two recommen-dations drew some opposi-tion from Senate members.

Student Trustee LaurenZdanowitz cited severalerrors on the application ofone appointee, and elec-tion commissioner WilliamSchiffelbein cited a weakresponse to an ethics ques-tion as a noted weakness inthe other appointee.

Fox spent severalweeks interviewing andscreening the candi-dates, and Senate recog-nized her for her efforts.However, no appoint-ment was made in haste,with one appointee ulti-

mately being rejected.Senate discussed thestrengths of all four ofthe candidates beforeapproving Connor Mongand Lee Cooper.

Mong and Lee willassume the duties onStudent Judiciary imme-diately and serve on thecommittee for the dura-tion of their time at UNC.

Senate begins StudentFee Allocation Process

Senate then movedinto the first round ofSFAP. The process is dis-cussed in three rounds; around of discussion willoccur at weekly sessionseach week for threeweeks with no decisionsbeing made final until

the third round of dis-cussion.

Senate discussed pos-sible funding increasesfor the Center forInternational Education,UNC Student Radio andthe Graduate StudentAssociation, thoughSenate will not be able tosatisfy the fill amounts ofevery request.

Senate hears gradeinflation resolution

Administrative assis-tant Ben Schiffelbeinintroduced a resolutionregarding grade inflationat the university toSenate. The resolution isaimed at establishing atask force to investigatethe status of grade infla-

tion at the university andsuggest ways to reduceinflation. Discussion waspostponed until nextweek to give Senatemembers an opportunityto review the resolution.

Directors give updateson projects

Director of StudentAffairs Levi Fullerinformed Senate mem-bers that he has a meet-ing planned to discussissues with the onlinemarketplace site Bodegathat is likely to be imple-mented at UNC in thenear future. Fuller alsoannounced that the uni-versity is considering anew online program toreplace Blackboard,

though nothing has beendecided yet.

Director of LegislativeAffairs Jamie Britt report-ed updates on concernsregarding the online stu-dent and faculty directo-ry on the university web-site. Concerns have risenover the accessibility ofstudents’ personal infor-mation.

Kony film raises awarenessKRISTEN MARTIN

news@uncmirror.com

Joseph Kony is cur-rently the InternationalCriminal Court’s most-wanted fugitive. He isresponsible for kidnap-ping more than 30,000children in North Africa,specifically Uganda. Heturns boys into soldiersand sells girls as sexslaves. This has beenhappening for 26 years.

A movement has start-ed in an attempt tosmother Kony’s furtherinfluence and power.Invisible Children, Inc. isa non-profit organizationfocused solely on helpingthose affected by Konyand the Lord’s ResistanceArmy. The organizationis also attempting to get

Kony arrested and triedin the InternationalCriminal Court.

Members of InvisibleChildren made a docu-mentary to exposeKony’s actions to the restof the world, which wasshown at UNC Thursdayevening.

Daniel Szymczyk, afull-time volunteer withInvisible Children, saidthe film is just an entry-way into the conflict anda lot of people havebecome interested insupporting the organiza-tion’s efforts in stoppingKony.

“When we firstreleased the film we had agoal, throughout the year,of getting 500,000 views ofthis film,” Szymczyk said.“As of today, just over two

weeks after releasing thisfilm online, we have got-ten over 120 millionviews, which is awe-some.”

The documentary,narrated by InvisibleChildren co-founderJason Russell, showedthe conditions of Ugandaand told the story of hisfriend, Jacob, who wasrescued by InvisibleChildren from the LRA.

The film showedimages of people muti-lated by young LRA sol-diers. Russell also saidKony made the youngboys kill their parents.

Grace, a member ofInvisible Children, saidgrowing up in Uganda,an area affected by the

See Kony, Page 12

LRA, a lot of her familymembers were abductedand killed by Kony andmembers of the LRA.

Her hometown ofSeeta, Uganda, Gracesaid, was the safest placeat first because it is locat-ed in southern Ugandaand at the time the LRAstill remained in northernUganda. However, theLRA quickly spread to herhometown.

“Living in my homestate became hard and Ihad to resort to leaving,”Grace said. “One of my

relatives was abducted bythe rebels. Today, I haveheard no news about him.I do not even knowwhether he is still alive.After he was abducted,fear gripped me. I thoughtI was going to be the nextperson to be abducted orkilled.”

Grace said she had tomiss two years of schoolbecause her universitywas being shut down bythe influence of the LRA.Luckily, Invisible Childrencame to the rescue andreopened the university.They offered her a schol-arship to go back to

school and she graduatedwith a degree in businesscomputing.

Russell took the infor-mation and footage hecaptured to Congress.However, he said repre-sentatives in Washingtonwould not get involved ina conflict where U.S.national security or finan-cial interests are not atstake.

The film showed howmembers of InvisibleChildren spread the infor-mation and gained a fol-lowing that sparked thegovernment’s interest. InOctober 2011, President

Barack Obama sent 100advisers to Uganda to aidtheir army in capturingKony.

Russell said the pur-pose of the video is to

stop Kony in 2012. Thevideo, he said, will expireDec. 31, 2012, becausethat is how long the mis-sion is expected to last.The Ugandan Army

essentially has to findKony but will need thehelp of the U.S. govern-ment advisers. The U.S.government, however,has to believe people careabout Kony getting arrest-ed or else the mission willbe cancelled. Russell saidthe plan for the rest of theU.S. and the world is tomake Kony and his crimesfamous.

Students can getinvolved by putting upposters around campuswith permission as well asattend a benefit concertat 6:30 p.m. on April 20 onTurner Green. Posters canbe downloaded for free atwww.kony2012.com.

“We want to get asmany people involved aspossible,” said TylerEllison, a freshman sportsand exercise sciencemajor.

After the concert,Ellison said members ofthe Invisible Childrencommittee will partici-pate in a national event,“Cover the Night,” dedi-cated to hanging upposters everywhere inevery city. The committeewill only be focusing onhanging posters inGreeley.

Students can alsoreach out to Colorado’sUnited States Senators bycalling Sen. Mark Udalland Sen. MichaelBennet’s offices and urg-ing them to take action.
