During the secondStudent Senate meeting ofthe semester Wednesday,Senate members heard apresentation from an attor-ney, read three proposals andapproved the new membersof the Organization FundingBoard.

Dan Satriana, an attorney,made a presentation toSenate to clarify the details ofthe “open meetings” lawunder which Senate operates.

Satriana said the lawmeans Senate and its mem-bers must do three things:make all meetings open to thepublic, keep a record of min-utes and give the public fulland timely notice. After men-tioning what the law entails,Satriana gave members alegal definition of each

requirement. Following Satriana’s pres-

entation, Senate heard thesecond reading of a proposalmade during the last sessionby John Pherson, the directorof Academic Affairs.

The proposal’s revision,which seeks to amend theconference grant process,would maintain that in orderfor a student to receive a grantto attend a conference, theconference must be strictlyacademic. Pherson said thisrevision is really just a clarify-ing matter, since the bylawsalready imply the samerequirement.

Student-at-Large KelseyMurray raised the concernthat the Residence HallAssociation conferences,which focus more on leader-ship and have academicundertones, would no longerbe eligible for grant funding.

Pherson said it is true thatRHA conferences would nolonger be eligible but reiterat-ed that the grants should begiven for strictly academicconferences.

Debate closed on the pro-posal, and it will enter its thirdand final reading at nextweek’s meeting.

Pherson opened up adebate on a second proposalthis session, which wouldamend the bylaws so stu-dents could receive fundingfor international conferences,which currently is notallowed.

“There isn’t a reasonthat students shouldn’t beallowed to travel to a differ-ent country for a confer-ence,” Pherson said.

The proposal will enter itssecond reading next week.

Jamie Britt, the director ofLegislative Affairs, opened a

proposal that would removethe Legislative Action Teamfrom the senate bylaws.

To replace theLAT, Britt is work-ing on a statewidegroup with leg-islative membersfrom universitiesacross Colorado.

“The LAT is abody of studentsthat was sup-posed to meetonce a month inthe fall and twicea month in thespring for legisla-tive session, but that was justat the university level,” saidBritt. “The new group will beat a state-wide level so that itgives a voice to students allover Colorado.”

Britt said the new groupwill provide students acrossthe state with a louder voice

and will garner more respectfrom the Capitol when thelegislative group represents

the voice of highereducation.

Britt said thestatewide groupis still unnamedbecause they arestill establishinga constitutionand bylaws.

The propos-al will enter itssecond readingduring the nextsession.

C h a r l i eCharbonneau, the direc-tor of Student Clubs andOrganizations, submittedthe names of the new

members serving on theOrganization FundingBoard this semester forSenate’s approval. Theproposal was approved

Student Body PresidentKatelyn Elliott said she isinvestigating the hiring freezeof student employees oncampus and is looking intosetting up a meeting withPresident Kay Norton.

“What I’m working on isinvestigating how the hiringfreeze is affecting studentsand the services provided tostudents through studentfees,” Elliot said.

Elliot said she hopes toprovide more informationfrom Norton in upcomingmeetings.

UNC members help integrate immigrantsCARRISSA OLSZEWSKI

[email protected]

Community membersand UNC students and fac-ulty have partnered withRealizing Our Communityto teach immigrants andrefugees in Greeley theskills necessary for them tosurvive and thrive in anunfamiliar society.

ROC was started threeyears ago when theUniversity of NorthernColorado’s CommunityIntegration coordinatorand ROC director, MariaSanchez, applied for theposition because shewanted to bring the pro-

gram to UNC. The pro-gram is funded by a grantfrom The Colorado Trust.

“ROC is a programmeant to provide immi-grants and refugees withopportunities in small agri-cultural endeavors and gar-dening, sewing and conver-sational English,” Sanchezsaid.

The program has abranch called Women ofthe ROC, which is specifi-cally designed to reachout and teach basic skillsto women from variouscultures.

About 25 UNC studentsand three professors, aswell as a variety of volun-

teers from within the com-munity, are involved in theprogram each semester.The volunteers help withthe Family LiteracyProgram, community gar-den and sewing classes.

FLP meets at GreeleyCentral High SchoolTuesdays and Thursdaysand works to help themembers of the commu-nity learn conversationalEnglish.

Carolyn Wright, a jun-ior elementary educationmajor, originally gotinvolved with WOTR bybeing a mentor with FLP.She said she realized theimportance of the pro-

gram and is now the coor-dinator.

“There are a lot of dif-ferent people in Greeley,and we don’t all knoweach other and (WOTR’sprograms) are a great wayto get together and com-bat misconceptions aboutother cultures,” Wrightsaid.

The community gar-den is another way WOTRmembers provide immi-grants and refugees with away to survive and thrivein the Greeley area.

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].

The First Amendment is underattack at the University ofNorthern Colorado.

Free speech, and the practicethereof, has long been a staple ofthe freedoms associated with livingin America. In fact, if you don’t likeyour rights, you’re able to protest byburning the flag in a ceremony tar-nishing the legacy of hundreds ofthousands who have died for yourfreedom to burn it. It’s your right.

But what if you tell a joke thatsomeone may find offensive, orone that may convey, subjectively,racism or homophobia?

You could face repercussionsfrom UNC, for one.

According to the 2011-12

Housing and ResidentialEducation Handbook, “In anattempt to create an inclusivelearning community and supportthe academic and personal pur-suits of all individuals regardless ofrace, religion, sexual orientation,ethnicity, national origin, ancestry,age, gender, or ability, bias moti-vated actions…are not tolerated atthe University of NorthernColorado. Any actions motivatedby bias will be documented in aHousing & Residential EducationInformation report….”

While it is certainly proactive,and, indeed, admirable to encour-age students to be accepting of oneanother, threatening to take action

against those who express them-selves in language that may notconform with societal norms isboth thin-skinned and a violationof the Constitution.

In fact, these “bias motivatedactions” may be as unremarkableas, “inappropriate jokes andpranks that are motivated by bias”or as vague as, “unintentional dis-criminatory acts (that) affect thecommunity and individuals in var-ious ways.”

In a report released this year bythe Foundation of IndividualRights in Higher Education, 67 per-cent of the nation’s most presti-gious universities have speechcodes in violation of the First

Amendment and other codes offree speech.

For example, this year atHarvard, incoming students arebeing encouraged, if not forced, tosign a “civility pledge,” whichessentially vows their allegiance toHarvard’s definition of morality.

Colleges and universitiesaround the world all have the goalof fostering an environment ofindividuality, enlightenment, dis-covery and self-examination.Institutions dedicated to usheringyoung adults into the professionalworld carry the responsibility ofinstilling ambition and independ-ence, not coddling and trying toprotect everyone’s feelings.

This week, I got myselfa little present as areward for surviving

the first week of classes: the lat-est installment of Lil’ Wayne’s“Tha Carter” series. As I lis-tened to it, at no point was Isurprised, positively or nega-tively. It was exactly what Iexpect from today’s hip-hop.

I realized during my listening,however, that these expectationsare problematic. I have becomeaccustomed to glamour rap. Thehip-hop stars of 2011 by-and-largerap about how many cars, homes,

clothes, etc. they have. Jay-Z andKanye West’s compilation album ofthis summer, “Watch the Throne,”is cut from the same cloth.

Although I truly appreciate thetribute to and sampling of OtisRedding in the album’s fourthtrack, “Otis,” the track itself isshockingly elitist. West’s line,“They ain’t seen me ‘cause I pulledup in my other Benz/ Last week Iwas in my other other Benz,”exemplifies this new luxury rap.Later on the track, Kanye boasts ofhis “sophisticated ignorance.”

That is not what the spirit ofrap is all about. In fact, it is theexact opposite of what hip-hoptruly stands for. Yes, rap culturedoes emphasize taking care ofoneself, but there has always beena socially conscious component tothe genre. Where have the days of

Public Enemy gone?What’s truly disappointing is

that Weezy, ‘Ye, and Hova haveall shown the ability to makemusic for the ‘hood, as opposedto music for the gated communi-ties. Jay-Z had “Hard KnockLife,” and Wayne was active inrebuilding New Orleans afterKatrina. West’s “FamilyBusiness” was a socially relevantsong. These men went from ragsto riches and have seemingly for-gotten their roots.

There is one song on “Throne”that pleads for an end to inner-cityviolence. But after all the dia-mond-encrusted boasting, itseems, at best, half-hearted and,at worst, feigned entirely.

It’s time for rap music con-sumers to demand more responsi-ble productions from the big-

name artists. I doubt many listen-ers are truly purchasing thesealbums to vicariously live this lav-ish existence. When did rappersstop trying to relate to their audi-ence? Or are WASPs now the tar-get consumers for hip-hop?

Rap does not always need to beculturally cognizant—lots of greatsongs come from just recountingeveryday events—but those hap-penings must be relatable tourban America. For now, I’ll take atrip to “El Segundo” with A TribeCalled Quest, or ask “Why?” withThe Roots or simply “Be” withCommon Sense. When main-stream hip-hop wants me back, itwill know where to find me.

Cheese brings professors, librarians together for ‘Chat’TESSA BYRNS

[email protected]

Professors and librariansat UNC bonded over cheesecubes and intellectual banterduring the seventh annualCheese and Chat onThursday.

Cheese and Chat at theUniversity of NorthernColorado introduces facultymembers to subject librari-ans, or librarians that special-ize in particular fields, so theycan work together in thefuture to provide betterresources for students.

Before the socializingbegan, Helen Reed, thedean of Libraries, intro-duced Robbyn Wacker, theacting provost and seniorvice president for AcademicAffairs, who spoke aboutthe academic endeavor ofthe university.

“It’s basically an openhouse,” said Annie Epperson,the head of ReferenceServices. “We provide wineand cheese, and it’s just anevent that we can show thefaculty that we support them.It’s also helpful to get to knowthe library because everyonewill have to, sooner or later,work within the library. It’slike a party. Everyone is drink-ing wine, reinvigorating rela-tionships, chatting.”

Following Wacker’s pres-entation, professors and sub-ject librarians socialized overwine and cheese and dis-cussed their areas of interest.

Subject librarians aredevoted to several particularareas of study and often usetheir expertise to assist pro-fessors in finding materialsfor classes.

“A subject librarian is aperson who is devoted to col-

lections and instructiondevoted to a specific subject,”Epperson said. “We some-times guest lecture, purchaseperiodicals or books to sup-port what they need for theirlesson plan.”

The Cheese and Chat alsoshowcased a new tool avail-able on their homepage onUNC’s website.

“I’ve heard that one of thetools works like Google,” saidAnnie Kelvie, a teacher’sassistant in the Englishdepartment.

The new search engine onthe libraries’ website, calledSummon, finds books, news-paper articles, DVDs andother forms of media.

“Summon has thesame catalog,” said GailShimokawa, a library tech-nician. “It’s still on there.It’s just that the new toolsbasically take away a cou-

ple of steps. If studentsdon’t like the new version,they can also go back tothe classic version.”

Some people have alreadyfound the new system veryuseful.

“Our new grad stu-

dents come here, and theyfind it really helpful,” saidJanice Hayes, a nursingprofessor.

Reception helps acquaint non-traditional, transfer students with campusTESSA BYRNS

[email protected]

Non-traditional studentswere officially welcomed toUNC Wednesday with areception and resource fairat the University Center.

The Welcome Receptionand Resource Fair forCommuter, Non-Traditional,Transfer and VeteranStudents showcased thenumerous clubs and organi-zations the University ofNorthern Colorado has tooffer all students.

Representatives fromOperation Bear Awareattended the fair as well asrepresentatives from CareerServices, the Women’sResource Center, Michener

Library and Skinner MusicLibrary.

“The services that arepresent during the fair arejust tailoring their resourcesmore toward transfer andnon-traditional students,”said Evan Welch, the assis-tant dean of the Student Lifedivision of Academic Affairs.“Students can always gofind out more informationabout the services that UNChas by contacting the specif-ic student activities andresources directly.”

Some students said theyfound the fair helpful inlearning what both UNCand Greeley have to offerstudents.

“The fair really gave anoverview of what UNC and

the community has (sic) tooffer in terms of servicesthat it provides,” said

Chanaichon Damsri, afirst-year doctoral studentin educational studies.

“I’m really looking forwardto using the Women’sResource Center, theRecreation Center, CareerServices and Bear Aware.”

Bear Transfer, an organ-ization created by AbbeyPalmer, a junior elemen-tary education major, andMaddie Raven, a sopho-more business major, wasspecifically designed fortransfer students toacquaint them with cam-pus life. Palmer and Ravensaid they were both trans-fer students last year.

“As a transfer studentlast semester, I felt alien-ated from the rest of thegroup,” Palmer said. “Ihad a really hard time, so Iwanted to make an organ-

ization that focuses ongetting transfer studentsmore integrated into thecampus and getting themto meet other people thatare in the exact same posi-tion they’re in.”

However, new transferstudents are not expectedto navigate UNC alone.

“Bear Transfer will usethe buddy system, so newtransfer students will pairup with older transfer stu-dents,” Raven said. “Themore experienced trans-fer students will show thenewer transfer studentswhere everything is, howeverything works. We’llalso be going to UNCevents together as a groupso no one feels left out.”

Football hosts Lindenwood in openerBEN WARWICK

[email protected]

In what has shaped up tobe a season of firsts, theUNC football team beginsits 2011 season Saturdayagainst NAIA opponentLindenwood.

The University ofNorthern Colorado will havesophomore Seth Lobatostarting at quarterback, thefirst sophomore quarterbackto start the first game of theseason since TonyChristensen in 2003.

“I’m just really excited,”Lobato said. “Ready to getout there with my team-mates and finally play adifferent opponent thanyour teammates.”

Lobato said he knowshe has to stay focusedwhen he takes the field asthe starter.

“I’m going to try and stay

calm, cool, and collected,and go out there and leadthe team.”

Last year, Lindenwoodaveraged 52 points a game,including one 90- and one77-point game.

UNC defensive coordina-tor Zach Shay said he hasstressed that UNC will face achallenge on both sides ofthe ball.

“Their skill guys are very,very talented,” Shay said. “Ibelieve they had a guy lastyear who graduated and is inan NFL camp if I’m not mis-taken, so their skill is as goodas anybody. They have agood scheme, they’re verygood at what they do, sowe’re going to have to be dis-ciplined with our eyes, andread our keys, and not allowbig explosive plays wherethey strike on us quickly andcreate touchdowns.”

To combat the skill set,

Shay said he has been stress-ing three things to hisdefense during practice thispast week.

“The first is ‘BIA,’ andthat means ‘Best in America’in pursuit to the football,and that tells effort, attitude,and toughness,” Shay said.“The second thing is whatwe call ‘cause BDs,’ which isball disruptions. That’ssacks, quarterback knock-downs, quarterback hurries,(tackles for loss), intercep-tions, (pass break-ups), andthe last thing is tackling. Ifwe can get to the ball withgreat effort and enthusiasm,if we can cause disruptionand if we can tackle, we’ll besuccessful.”

Head coach EarnestCollins Jr. said he knowsLindenwood is not a teamto sweep under the rug butsaid he thinks playing athome can give the team the

advantage it needs andhelp ease the transitionthat comes with a newcoaching staff.

“It gives us another dayto be at home and go oversome intricate details, plusto open up a new season andnew staff at home is an awe-some feeling,” Collins said.

Since his hiring inDecember, Collins has hadmany firsts at UNC: meet-ings with players, practices,a recruiting class, amongothers. Saturday marks hisfirst game, and he said hedoesn’t know what toexpect yet.

“I don’t know what it’sgoing to be like when I walkout and see the fans outthere and know that I’mcoaching my first game backat my alma mater,” Collinssaid. “I know it’s going to beemotional, but I can’t tellyou what that emotion’s

going to be. I could be bawl-ing at the top of my lungs orI could be quiet, but I knowit’s going to be a special dayfor me.”

The Bears will hope tomake it a special dayagainst the Lions, kickingoff at 1:35 p.m. Saturday atNottingham Field.

The UNC volleyballteam carries its 2-2 recordinto the Fairfield InnNorth Baylor Classic todayin Waco, Texas.

The team’s second wincame in a Tuesday victoryover Air Force that HeadCoach Lyndsey Benson saidher team was fortunate to get.

“We didn’t play extremelywell, by any means,” Bensonsaid. “We were lucky to getout of there with a win, andthat’s why I say we survived.”

The University ofNorthern Colorado nowturns its focus to threematches this weekend, start-ing with Texas-Pan American(1-3) at 11 a.m. today. TheBears will face both McNeeseState (0-3) and BaylorUniversity (2-1) on Saturday.

Baylor is UNC’s sec-ond Big 12 opponent ofthe season. The Bears lostto Colorado Aug. 28.

Junior setter MarissaHughes said she enjoys play-ing tougher teams becausethe increased competitionmotivates her to play harder.

“I love going out thereand playing great teamsbecause when you play goodteams, you raise the bar toplay better,” Hughes said.

Following this tourna-ment, the Bears take part inthe Rams Volleyball Classic,in which they will face NovaKBM Maribor, a Slovenianprofessional team; WichitaState, who was picked tofinish second in theMissouri Valley Conferenceand Colorado State, who iscurrently ranked No. 15 inthe country.

UNC junior outside hitter

Kelley Arnold, who had agame-high 24 kills against AirForce, said playing teamsfrom bigger conferences inthese early-season tourna-ments is challenging, but

provides many opportunitiesfor growth.

“I think it exposes someweaknesses that we mayhave that we need to work onfor our season and for ourconference, and so I thinkplaying these higher-levelteams makes us play at ahigher level,” Arnold said. “Itbrings out a different type ofUNC volleyball.”

Benson said playing inBaylor’s tournament will bebeneficial for her team goingforward in the season.

“We want to play at a highlevel so we can be challenged

to play at a high level on ourside of the net,” she said. “Wereally need to be challengedright now, and so we’re look-ing forward to this — espe-cially the Baylor matchup.UTPA and McNeese aren’t ashigh of an RPI, but they’regoing to expose some weak-nesses, and then the Baylormatchup is going to be a big,physical match.”

After facing Texas-PanAmerican today, the Bearsface McNeese State at 9 a.m.tomorrow and take on Baylorlater in the day at 6:30 p.m. inWaco, Texas.

Volleyball team heads to Texas for tournament

“We really need to

be challenged rightnow, and so we’relooking forward tothis — especially theBaylor matchup.

Group helps refugeesadjust to life in Greeley

Greeley and is tended by10 ROC participants;most are documentedimmigrants from Burma.

The participants takea lot of what they growhome for their familiesto eat but recently alsosold some of their excessvegetables at thefarmer’s market inGreeley.

“The farmer’s marketwent really well,”Sanchez said. “The par-ticipants learned theycan earn money from thevegetables and begin tointegrate with the com-munity.”

WOTR also teachesboth women and men tosew. The sewing classesstarted several monthsago with the help of SallyMcBeth, an anthropolo-gy professor at UNC.

“I love to sew andlove unique textiles andfabrics,” McBeth said. “Ihoped I could getwomen interested in oneof my passions, and it

didn’t take much. Ourfuture plan is to start anartisan cooperative mak-ing Kareni (Burmese)bags and other indige-nous arts and crafts.”

WOTR and ROC arealways in need of volun-teers and donations.Donations are necessaryto help buy bus passesand books so the immi-grants and refugees havetransportation to eventsand resources to learnEnglish.

The Bears own an 8-4all-time record over theFalcons and have won sixconsecutive meetings, butpractice this week was busi-

ness as usual.“We are going to take

everything from the past fourgames and moveforward,” seniorm i d f i e l d e rKimmie Feidlersaid. “We justneed to work onpossessing theball better.”

Feidler leadsthe team in shotswith 15.

The Falcons(3-1) are averag-ing three goalsand 11 shots ongoal per game.

“They are a strong,physical team,” juniorforward Danielle Birdsallsaid. “Our main focus is

going into the game con-fident.”

“I think wehave been lack-ing a little bit inc o n n e c t i n gwith eachother,” Birdsallsaid. “Once we

get that back, I think wewill be doing a lot better.”
