Student Senate Update

New bucket list blackboard may come to McKeeALEXANDER ARMANI-MUNN

[email protected]

During Wednesday’sStudent Senate meeting,Senate members heard apresentation from a stu-dent looking to renovateMcKee Hall, continueddiscussion on three pro-posals and were intro-duced to a new proposi-tion regarding the servicecoordinator bylaws.

Prior to discussion onthe proposals, Senatemembers welcomed guestspeaker Dylan Marshall, ajunior at UNC. Marshallspoke to Senate about con-structing a large black-board on the south wall ofthe McKee Hall breezeway.

The blackboard wouldbear the title “Before I Die”and students would beencouraged to write shortstatements about theirdreams and aspirations.

“The board would helpmorale around campus,and also, bring somethingunique to the campus thatwould set UNC apart fromother universities.”

Senate responded posi-tively to Marshall’s pro-posal and offered sugges-tions on funding for thematerials and mainte-nance of the board overtime.

The Senate com-menced discussion on oldbusiness with the thirdreading of a Proposition007, which concerns theStudent Senate memberremoval process.

The current removalsystem of removal requiresa vote for removal from 10percent of the studentbody or consent from fiveof the seven Senate mem-bers serving on a RemovalCommittee.

The new system would

require a grievance to besubmitted to the StudentRights Activist, who, uponreviewing the grievance,would determine whetherthe Senate member inquestion should go in frontof the Senate JudiciaryCommittee.

It would then be up tothe Student JudiciaryCommittee to vote on theremoval of the member.

“The Student JudiciaryCommittee exists for mat-ters like this,” said LindseyYost, Senate JudiciaryCommittee member.

Director of LegislativeAffairs Jamie Britt madethe point that less than 10percent of the studentbody votes in general elec-tions, and it would beunlikely 10 percent wouldvote on the removal of aSenate member.

Cabinet members alsoexpressed concern over

the publicity that the cur-rent system creates, whichin some cases could bringnegative attention toSenate.

Those opposed to theproposition argued thatthe new system wouldopen the door for unjusti-fied grievances that couldthreaten the job securityof Senate members.

Further action onProposition 007 was even-tually postponed until nextweek, allowing cabinetmembers to create amend-ments to present to theSenate.

Proposition 008, whichcalls for amendments tobylaws concerning theCollege Student Council,entered its second reading.

The current bylawsstate the director ofStudent Organizationwill serve as the StudentSenate liaison to all col-

lege student councils. However, all College

Student Councils are cur-rently represented atStudent Senate meetings,making it unnecessary tohave a separate liaison.Senate did not discuss theproposal, but voted for itspostponement until nextweek.

The Senate also dis-cussed Proposition 009,which entered its secondreading this week.

The proposition is aninterpretation of thebylaws regarding theOrganization FundingBoard. The dilemma fac-ing Senate members isdetermining whether ornot events with closedparticipation shouldreceive funding fromOFB.

After limited discus-sion, Senate membersvoted to postpone further

action until next week.New business dis-

cussed by Senate consistedof Proposition 010 and theallocation of student con-ference grants.

Proposition 010 isrelated to the servicecoordinator position inthe Senate bylaws, whichdirector of Student AffairsLevi Fuller said was notpertinent.

Senate voted to post-pone further discussion onthe proposal indefinitely.

Finally, Director ofAcademic Affairs JohnPherson presented theallocation of funds for stu-dents attending academicconferences.

Pherson also describedthe formula he used todetermine allocationensuring that all funds weredistributed fairly. Senateultimately approved allgrant funding.

Putting a humorous spin onreal news, a la StephenColbert, is one thing. Makingup news with the intention ofbeing funny is another.

People buy it, though;that’s why the news satirepaper The Onion still exists.Sometimes it’s enjoyable read-ing about Bill Gates’ fake $56million spending spree onAmazon.com or a story titled“Justin Bieber Found to beCleverly Disguised 51-Year-Old Pedophile,” though Biebermay not care for the faux arti-

cle as much as some.However, feigning a news

story describing gunfire at theCapitol building and membersof Congress holding youngchildren hostage on Thursdayshould not have a place insociety, made up or not.

Enough Twitter updateswere posted about the storythat U.S. Capitol Police beganinvestigating the report.

It may not have been as biga deal as it was if the FBI hadnot arrested a Massachusettsman a day earlier who alleged-

ly intended on bombing theCapitol.

There’s no harm in reading“Bored Fans Start ChantingFor Broncos To Put JakePlummer Into Game,” or“General Mills Releases NewLucky Charms With 15 PercentLess Leprechaun Meat,” butthere is definite cruelty inshowing a Congress memberholding a gun to a little girl’shead in a doctored photo.

Having fun is fine, butthere’s a line. The Onionneeds to realize that not every-

thing it puts on its website willbe received well by everybody.

The Onion will not likelylose its readership because ofone story, but readers couldsend a message if that indeedhappened.

Its journalistic efforts shouldbe held to a higher standard,even if its news content isuntrue. That makes for betterreading and fewer attacks onpeople who may not deserve it.

Itold myself I would waitat least another week towrite again about sports,

but then something happenedWednesday night. Somethinghistorical. Something crazy.Something awful.

My mother grew up inBraintree, Mass., a suburb ofBoston. All of her family still livesat least part-time in the area, andwe’ve been back several times tovisit. Each time, we’ve taken a tripto Fenway Park to watch the RedSox.

Now let’s get one thingstraight — I’m a Rockies fan first.In the 2007 World Series that pit-

ted Boston vs. Colorado, I was sig-nificantly less torn than I thoughtI would be. I was devastated bythe Rockies being swept, no ques-tions asked.

But I also do root for the Sox,and they, along with the AtlantaBraves, completed two of thebiggest choke jobs in the historyof September baseball. Twenty-five days ago, Boston led TampaBay by nine games in the race forthe American League Wild Card.In the final game of the season,the Rays sealed the fate of the Soxby defeating the Yankees whileBoston lost to Baltimore, both indramatic fashion.

The collapse brought backmemories of pre-2004 failures formany Boston fans. I’m too youngto remember many of those dis-appointments, but I do rememberthe punch to the gut that wasAaron Boone’s home run for the

Yankees in 2003 to knock the Soxout of the playoffs.

The worst part of Wednesdaynight was not that the Red Soxappeared to have it in the bag, orthat the Rays seemed sure to lose,giving Boston at least a one-gameplayoff. The most gut-wrenchingaspect of the evening was findingmyself actually kind of, halfway,almost rooting for the New YorkYankees. Only to be let down bythe very team I’ve grown todespise.

There is nothing worse thanresigning yourself to relying onyour enemy to come through foryou. Instead, New York stabbedBoston in the back, and did sowith a not-so-veiled smile. Yankeefans are happy to have their teamlose in order to keep their rivalout of the playoffs.

As a Denver sports fan, thepast year has hurt. Of the four

major professional teams, two —including the Broncos, arguablythe heartbeat of the city — fin-ished second to last in theirleague, and the other two tradedat least one player who wasarguably the face of his respectivefranchise. It’s likely we won’t havea basketball season this year.

While all this negativity is frus-trating, I must recognize thatsports as a whole are played at alevel we probably haven’t seenbefore. The athleticism of today’spro competitors is enhanced bytraining techniques and technolo-gy like never before, aside fromthe cheapened steroid era. Thereare still great stories and drama allaround, so I’ll keep the chips andsalsa out and enjoy with my eyes,if not with my heart.

riding a bike as opposed todriving a car.

In order to do that, hesaid he would work dili-gently to have the city’s

sidewalks and streetsrepaired and maintained.

While Norton saidbelieved people will ulti-mately drive their car towork, he stressed the

importance for residents tokeep promoting the uniqueadvantages Greeley has tooffer by just simply incor-porating it more in every-day conversation.

The topic then shiftedtoward the Greeley econo-my and UNC’s role in it.

True said Greeley needsto keep the UNC studentsin Greeley by creating a safeway to bring the studentsoff campus and downtownto help boost the economy.

In response, Nortondrew attention to some ofthe projects he already

implemented as mayor,specifically revamping theuniversity, the downtownarea, 10th Street and theGreeley Mall – all in aneffort to improve economicdevelopment.

The two candidatesclosed the debate with Trueurging Greeley residents tostep out of their comfortzone and integrate new,

innovative solutions to thecity’s main problems.

“It’s exciting to hearNick True talk,” said MarteSamuelson, a Greeley resi-dent. “He represents mydemographic. He had realsolutions as opposed totalking status quo.”

Norton’s closing argu-ment focused on taking arealistic look at the city’sproblems and what he hasalready accomplished asMayor.

The debate will be re-broadcast at 10 a.m., 3 p.m.and 8 p.m. Mondays,Wednesdays and Fridays,Saturdays and Sundays at 8a.m. and 3 p.m. Oct. 7 – 31on GTV8.

Climbing for a cause: CRC promotes women’s healthTESSA BYRNS

[email protected]

The UNC CampusRecreation Center offeredwomen extra perks to getmotivated to maintaintheir health Wednesday incelebration of the nation-wide Women’s Health andFitness Day.

Women were given freeaccess to the University ofNorthern Colorado’s CRCfacilities all day, as well asfree admission to the groupfitness classes.

“This is an annual eventaround the nation thatfocuses on and hopes to getserious attention and justhopes to be a reminder forwomen that they need totake good care of them-selves and keep aware oftheir health and fitness,”said LeeAnne Kosovich,

graduate assistant forWellness and Nutrition.“We also want the womenon campus to come intothe recreation center andsee what we offer here.”

Exercising alone can beintimidating, but, as stu-dents discovered, having abuddy to work out withhelps maintain the motiva-tion to be healthy.

“My friend and I aredoing a fit class together,”said Andrea Covington, asenior elementary educa-tion major. “I think firststepping into the gymmight be a little bit intimi-dating to some people atfirst. So this Women’sHealth and Fitness Daycould be helpful for thosepeople who haven’t partici-pated in sports or want tobe active.”

As part of Women’sHealth and Fitness Day, theCRC hosted Ladies ClimbNight at the rock-climbingwall and Women onWeights, a free weight andmachine tutorial.

“For the Ladies ClimbNight, which theRecreation Center hasevery week, we want toshow women how to profi-ciently climb,” Kosovichsaid. “But we also wantthem to feel comfortable,as well.”

Providing a safe exerciseenvironment for womenwas one of the most impor-tant things for the CRCemployees.

“To promote women’shealth and fitness, we needto provide a comfortableenvironment for women,”said Kirsten Latham, a sen-

ior elementary educationmajor. “We also want themto have fun.”

Themes and pizzaaccompanied Ladies ClimbNight.

“We’ve had the LadiesClimb Night for at leastfour years, if not more,”Latham said. “We’re try-ing to promote womenand health year-round.Every Ladies Climb Nightwe bring pizza and wehave themes. The lasttheme we had was disco.Rock climbing is a greatway to build musclestrength and give educa-tion to what rock climbingis all about and try to notlet women feel like aminority at the gym andnot to feel pressured toshow up the guys at thegym. Just have fun.”

Free food encourages students to embrace cultural diversityCARRISSA OLSZEWSKI

[email protected]

For the 15th consecu-tive year, the enticingaroma of home-cookedfood emanated from theKohl House Wednesday asthe Asian/Pacific AmericanStudent Services at UNCprovided students with amyriad of free traditionaldishes to showcase whatthe organization has tooffer.

Taste of A/PASS was cre-ated to introduce studentsto the program and spreadawareness about differentcultures.

There are usually about300-400 attendees eachyear, and Wednesday wasno different. Students linedup along 20th Street to

sample the free food. “When you go to other

countries, you usually try thefood,” said Scottie Chen, amember of the A/PASS staff.“Food is a good way to getothers to begin to understandabout another culture.”

The house was filled witha variety of dishes that stu-dents were able to choosefrom as they made their waythrough the buffet-style mazeinside the house.

Chen said in past yearsthey have run out of food butusually have enough to feedthe majority of attendees.

The event was meant tohelp familiarize studentswith the services A/PASShas to offer and what theorganization is about.

“In addition to providinga safe haven and communi-

ty for students, we have stu-dent workers who know thecampus well and can act asan advocate for new stu-dents,” said Aletha Stovall,the director of A/PASS.

Stovall said though theorganization’s focus is onsupporting Asian andPacific Islander students,the organization does notdiscriminate. The KohlHouse and its facilities,including a miniature com-puter lab and two kitchens,are open to all students.

The house is openMonday – Friday from8a.m. - 5p.m.

Students are able to walkinto the house and utilizethe printer, fax and copier,all free of charge.

The organization alsopromotes certain clubs on

campus like the Hula Club,which performed a danceat the event.

The Hula Club is one ofthe longest running clubson campus, dating back 21years, said Alika McGuire,the president of the club.

“It is unique in that youcan’t go anywhere else inGreeley to get that type ofexperience,” McGuire said.

He said the group isopen to all students, andthere are no requirementsto join the club except awillingness to learn newthings, such as Tahitian andMaori dances.

Stovall said that A/PASSworks closely with clubs likethe Hula Club to providenights that showcase their tal-ent to spread cultural educa-tion throughout the campus.

Diplomat seeks students to foster relationships with foreign governmentsTESSA BYRNS

[email protected]

Roger Pierce, an ambas-sador and diplomat fromthe Department of Statevisited UNC Wednesday totell students about oppor-tunities to travel abroad tolocations like Europe andAsia while securing peaceand stability in countriesaround the world.

“The Department ofState negotiates relation-ships and maintains rela-tionships with foreign gov-ernment,” said Peg Griffin,career services events coor-dinator. “It is a valued posi-tion to have and great forstarting a career.”

The Department of Statehas 61,600 employees total.There are 11,700 Foreign

Service Americans, 9,300 inthe civil service and 265 postsin more than 180 countries,including embassies.

“Students and poten-tial employees need to fig-ure out what country theyare interested in or whichcountry needs the help,and it dictates what kindof special agency andcountry the student willreceive,” Pierce said. “Wehave internships in thesummer, fall and spring.We also offer fellowships.We only take applicantsstarting at juniors. We’relooking for students whowill still be in school thefollowing year. Graduatestudents who will still bein school when they areaccepted are eligible.”

In most countries of

Europe, the Departmentof State will not providehousing.

“It is easier to find hous-ing in Europe than any-where else, like Asia or

Australia, so the statedepartment doesn’t offerit,” Pierce said. “We do pro-vide housing if you are sta-tioned domestically, like inWashington, D.C.”

The Department ofState has different tracks orfields for which applicantscan apply.

“Our different areas areconsular, which you wouldbe assisting Americanswith their documentationsif they were charged withbreaking the law in a for-eign country and help getthe Americans out ofharm’s way in natural dis-asters,” Pierce said. “Thereis also economics, helpingAmerican businesses over-seas, and public diploma-cy, making Americanentertainment available to

foreign markets.” Students are expected to

stay overseas three years,two years domestically and18 months if the place isconsidered dangerous.

Learning the languageof the country in which astudent would like to stayis not required but highlyrecommended.

However, if the applicantis accepted who does notspeak a second language,they will teach English in thecountry they are assigned.

“I’m interested ininterning and working forthe Department of Statebecause I want to traveland learn languages,”said Jon Dotson, a juniorGerman major. “I want totravel abroad, and this is agreat way to do it.”

Volleyball takes on two Big Sky teams this weekendSAMANTHA FOX

[email protected]

The UNC volleyball teamlooks to overcomeSaturday’s loss toSacramento State this week-end when it takes the courtagainst two Big SkyConference foes on the road.

The University ofNorthern Colorado (8-5, 2-1Big Sky) will open the week-end at Eastern Washington(8-6, 4-1) today, followed bya match at Portland State (7-9, 3-1) Saturday.

After losing in straightsets to the Hornets, the Bearsare looking to use the lossand convert it into two wins

this weekend.“I think after this week-

end, it’s humbling and youdefinitely wantto go after itnow that wehave that feelingof that loss —we don’t wantthat again,” jun-ior outside hit-ter KelleyArnold said. “So,I think goinginto this week-end we’re goingto work reallyhard and play ashard as we canand take it to them.”

Arnold currently has a.291 hitting percentage and

is first in the Big Sky afterpassing teammate, fresh-man middle-blocker

Andrea Spaustat,following theS a c r a m e n t oState match.

According tosenior defensives p e c i a l i s tA m a n d aArterburn, a lotof the discon-nect in theS a c r a m e n t oState matchcame from lackof communica-tion within the

team, but she said the teamneeds to grow from thetimes of trouble to be vic-

torious in the future.“We just need to know

how to transfer that intopositive energy,”Arterburn said. “We’rereally excited to play tworeally good teams afterwhat we’ve gone throughthis past weekend. Wedefinitely can give every-thing we have, and atti-tude and effort are goingto be 100 percent, that’sfor sure.”

The Bears and PortlandState finished atop the con-ference last season withidentical 14-2 conferencerecords. UNC went 0-3against the Vikings last year,including the Big SkyChampionship game, losing

in five games each time.Conversely, the Bears defeat-ed Eastern Washington inboth meetings.

Head coach LyndseyBenson said the team needsto counter the history theBears have on the roadagainst the two programs.

“We’ve never beat bothof them at the same timeon this road trip,” Bensonsaid. “We’ve always splitor come home 0-2. That’sthe challenge ahead of us:can we put two matchesback-to-back together thisweekend.”

Both Eastern Washingtonand Portland State are cur-rently in the middle of five-and three-game winning

streaks, respectively. In order for UNC to

win, the Bears can’t allowmistakes to overtake theirmental edge.

“I would say it’s com-ing in on every play, nomatter what,” Arterburnsaid. “If we lose the pointor win the point, it’salways staying together asa team, we’re in it togeth-er — losing together,fighting out of our losingtogether, to come and wintogether.”

The volleyball teamwill play at 8 p.m. Fridayin Cheney, Wash., beforetraveling to Portland,Ore., to play the Vikings at8 p.m. Saturday.

In search of its first win,the UNC football team facesarguably its toughest test yetwhen it pays a visit to theUniversity of Montana onSaturday.

Montana, ranked No. 16in the FCS Top 25, is comingoff a tough loss to No. 25Sacramento State last week-end. The University ofNorthern Colorado will belooking to spoil homecomingon the Grizzlies’ campus, atask that hasn’t proved simplein the past as Montana hasn’tlost a homecoming gamesince 1992.

The good news for theBears is that Grizzlies startingquarterback Jordan Johnsonis questionable due to aninjured shoulder. Defensecoordinator Zach Shay saidhe is preparing his defensefor all the Montana schemes

figured to be seen.“Johnson is their leading

rusher, and obviously in thepassing game, they’re playaction and screens, so we’vegot to be prepared for that,”Shay said. “I think it’s moreabout us executing what weneed to do.”

The defense will aim torepeat its second-half per-formance in last weekend’sloss to Weber State when theWildcats were held to 10points as UNC clawed backinto the game. Sophomorelinebacker Clarence Bumpashad a season-high 19 tackles,junior linebacker CameronFriend had 13 tackles andsenior safety Chuks Nwekehad 10 tackles.

Shay said the secret tofinding success on the defen-sive side of the ball is focusingon the play at hand and put-ting four complete quarterstogether.

“We’ve had our issues inthe first half, so I think we

just have to come out and inthat first quarter, take it pos-session by possession andworry about getting onestop, then getting two stopsand getting some momen-tum,” Shay said. “We can’tfocus on getting to the fourthquarter. We’ve got to getthrough the first quarter,then build off that.”

To perform well inMontana’s hostile environ-ment, Bumpas said thedefense has to keep its focusfrom the Weber State game.

“What we’re trying to do iskeep the focus from the bot-tom half of that last game andbring that into the first quar-ter of the next game, that waywe jump on them instead ofthem jumping on us, and viceversa,” Bumpas said.

Head coach EarnestCollins Jr. said he knows histeam is capable of greatthings. It’s just a matter ofgetting the players to realizetheir own potential.

“We’ve got to get ouryoung men to understand tobegin to really focus on exe-cution in the beginning of thegame,” Collins said. “(I) don’tlike us to get down 35, 28points before (they) decide tocome out and play ballbecause, as you can see, it’snot that we don’t have theskills or we don’t have theoffense or defense to do it.For whatever reason, we’renot executing in the first half,and I’m trying my best to fig-ure that out because it’ssomething mental with ourkids in order to get them tocome out and function in thefirst half.”

Collins also said it doesn’tmatter that Montana is in theTop 25.

“Because we’re in thesituation we are, we’re 0-4,”Collins said. “For us, itcould be the Top 25 or thebottom two, it doesn’t mat-ter. I just want to go win thefootball game. They’re a

conference game, and we’regoing to focus on beatingthem, so it doesn’t matterwhat their rank is, we just

want to go beat them.”The game kicks off at

1:05 p.m. Saturday inMissoula, Mont.

The University ofNorthern Colorado (3-5-2) opens conference com-

petition at home Fridayagainst Northern Arizona(1-7-3), a team the Bearslost to by one goal twicelast season.

“Going into confer-ence play, the records goout the window,” headcoach Tim Barrera said.“We are both 0-0. The keyfor us is scoring the firstgoal. In any of these con-ference games, usually

they are pretty close.”Going into conference

is something the wholeteam is enthusiasticabout. In their last twogames, the Bears haveattempted 61 shots, whileholding opponents to 23shots. Being aggressiveand in control on theoffensive side of the ball iskey for the team’s victory.

“I feel like we are peak-ing at the right time,” sen-ior goalkeeper KirstinSalminen said. “We kindof had a rough start, butwe are scoring goals now,so I think we are ready tokeep on rolling through.It’s very exciting for me

because that means ittakes the pressure off me,and as long aswe keep scor-ing goals, it’srelaxing forme becauseit’s down onthe other endand not somuch on myshoulders.”

Senior for-ward and mostrecent Big SkyCo-OffensivePlayer of theWeek, ArielCook — who scored thefirst goal and deliveredtwo assists in the 4-2 vic-

tory against South Dakota— said she is eager to

start with a cleanslate in confer-ence after gain-ing some offen-sive traction.

“It’s definitelya positive thatwe’re actuallygoing at playersand starting totake ourchances,” Cooksaid. “I think wecame out a littletimid at first.”

NAU hasgiven up 35 goals in 11games, while only scoring11 goals.

The Bears can’t justfocus on the match againstthe Lumberjacks this week-end. On Sunday, the Bearswill travel to Wyoming (6-4-2). First, though, the Bearshave to take care of theLumberjacks, and playerssaid they expect a largecrowd.

“It’s very exciting justto play in front of a biggercrowd and that muchmore energy in the stadi-um itself just gets us moreexcited,” Salminen said.

The Bears face NAU at7 p.m. Friday at JacksonStadium and take onWyoming at 1 p.m.Sunday in Laramie, Wyo.

Kirstin Salminen is second in the Big SkyConference with50 saves.

Students pedaling acrosscampus on bicycles are acommon sight at UNC, andOutdoor Pursuits wants tomake sure they keep movingby hosting a maintenanceworkshop Wednesday.

The workshop providedstudents with the tools andresources to keep their bikesin working condition and theknowledge to repair them sothey are not required to payfor something they can fixthemselves, said KonradSchlarbaum, a junior recre-ation and tourism major andOP employee.

Scott Treas, an assis-tant for OP, said studentsdo not have to have exten-sive mechanical knowl-edge to practice basicbicycle maintenance skills.

“It’s about sustainabilityand being able to do it your-self,” Treas said. “Plus, ifyou’re 30 miles off the roadand your bike breaks, you’re

going to need to know how tofix it.”

Many cyclists have likelyhad to endure the problemsthat goat-head thorns, snowand ice can cause. While theymay be treacherous to thelongevity of a bike, Treasexplained a few simple main-tenance tips that could keepstudents cycling all yearround.

Treas said cyclists shouldclean their chains at leastonce a week with teflon lube,especially during the winter,to ensure that road residuedoes not work its way into thegears.

Students can also fill theirtire tubes with a special slimethat seals abrasions to keepgoat-head thorns from flat-tening a tire.

For those who enjoy rid-ing long distances, Treas sug-gests always carrying a multi-tool kit, extra tire tube, airpump and cell phone. Allthese tools are easily accessi-ble for students and inexpen-sive, Treas said.

Bike riding around cam-pus has many benefits,especially for those whodon’t feel the need to searchfor a parking spot.

“The only negatives forriding a bike to class that I cansee are that you may get a lit-tle sweaty,” Treas said. “Otherthan that, riding a bike cansave you a lot of time andmoney.”

Schlarbaum said he hopesthe event encouraged stu-dents to continue riding bikesand enjoy being outdoors.

For those students wholove biking as a hobby, OPoffers many opportunities forstudents to join in on moun-tain biking expeditions.
