It wasn’t the tempo the UNC men’s basketball team was used to, but the team managed a 72-63 win against Sacramento State Saturday at Butler-Hancock Sports Pavilion.

The University of Northern Colorado (13-4, 7-1 Big Sky) will leave Greeley for four games, the longest road trip of the season, still undefeated on its home court.

The Sacramento State (6-11, 2-6) defense caused a lot of disruption for the Bears, keeping them from ÀQGLQJ�PXFK�UK\WKP��EXW�15 offensive rebounds resulting in 15 second-chance points helped the Bears stay relatively pro-ductive. Senior guard Tate Unruh was four points away from reaching the 1,000-point milestone, but he only had two points, both from the free throw line with just under two minutes left in the game. 8QUXK�PLVVHG�DOO�VL[�ÀHOG�goal attempts.

Senior forward Derrick

Barden led the game with 13 rebounds. Sacramento State’s sophomore guard Cody Demps went into Saturday’s game with an average of 4.3 rebounds per night, but he didn’t JUDE�RQH�LQ�WKH�HQWLUH�ÀUVW�half and ended the night with just three. Offen-sively, however, Demps had 16 points in the game, tying for a team-high with junior guard Mikh McK-inney, who missed about eight minutes at the end of WKH�ÀUVW�KDOI� DIWHU� UHFRUG-ing his third foul.

Sacramento State shot �� SHUFHQW� LQ� WKH� ÀUVW�half, but the Bears slowed them down in the second half, holding the Hornets to 40 percent.

“I feel like a broken record because we’ve got to get stops, get little runs going because they were matching every basket we had,” said junior forward Tim Huskisson, who had a game-high 18 points. “On the defensive end we needed to push back because they were doing whatever they wanted on the ball screens, and on the offensive end we had to make them guard.”

There was a big attack from both Bears point guards, freshman Jordan Wilson and junior Corey Spence, with 11 and six points, respectively.See Basketball on page 10

I was helping with after school programs for elementary schools last semester by tutoring and su-pervising children. As Christmas drew near, the kindergartners and ÀUVW�JUDGHUV�ZURWH�OHWWHUV�WR�6DQWD�Claus telling him what they want-ed for Christmas.

When I helped gather the let-ters I noticed that almost all of the children asked for tablets, Kindle Fire HDs, cell phones or other electronic devices. Only one child asked for a bicycle.

years old. When I was their age all I

wanted to do was go outside, play with dolls or create something out of cardboard. I didn’t get my ÀUVW�FHOO�SKRQH�XQWLO�,�ZDV�D�IUHVK-man in high school.

I couldn’t help but feel a little sad that many of these kids would rather play video games, watch television or play on a tablet than go outside, play with toys or cre-ate artwork.

When my parents and grand-parents were children, they would spend most of their time outside in the dirt digging up worms, playing baseball, riding bikes or playing in the treehouse they helped build with their dad.

The mothers of children more than 30 plus years ago had trouble calling their kids inside the house for dinner, and now it seems as if some parents may struggle trying to get their kids to go outside.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when parents set their babies and toddlers down in front of the television as a form of babysit-ting.

Yes, placing a child in front of a television might keep them still and quiet and prevent mess making around the house—but is it really a wise decision to use it as a form of babysitting? What if the child sits inches away from the screen because you are not watching him or her? How will this affect their eyes?

Aren’t kids supposed to make messes, make noise and play with each other?

It concerns me because if young children are placed in front of a television set more often than they are encouraged to go outside, what kind of habits will they develop in the future? Are WKH\� JHWWLQJ� HQRXJK� H[HUFLVH"�How will this effect brain, physi-

cal and social development? I understand that educational

television is also available, but even this should have a set limit. $� VXIÀFLHQW� DPRXQW� RI� WLPH� LV�about 30 minutes.

Unfortunately according to kidshealth.org, two-thirds of in-fants and toddlers watch an aver-age of two hours of television a day. Kids ages eight to 18 watch an average of four hours a day.

I feel as if technology may be interfering with childhood on some levels. We don’t build childhood memories from elec-tronic devices. At least I didn’t.

Yes, I interacted with electron-ic devices growing up, but my favorites memories are of spend-ing time with my family, being outside for Easter egg hunts and playing in the snow.

It is these memories that I remember the most, not the See Kids on page 15

President Barack Obama ad-dressed sexual assault crimes during his weekly address Satur-day and is seeking to raise aware-QHVV�RI�WKH�HSLGHPLF��VSHFLÀFDOO\�on college campuses.

He announced the creation of a White House Task Force to pro-tect students from sexual assault, which would work with college presidents to help make their campuses safer. It also suggested improved law enforcement—in-cluding higher arrest, prosecu-tion and conviction rates of sexu-ally based crimes.

According to a report from the White House Council on Women DQG� *LUOV�� RQH� LQ� ÀYH� FROOHJH�women report being a victim of sexual assault. That number does not include the 42 percent of rape crimes that the report states go unreported.

President Obama said high sexual assault rates affect every-

one, not merely victims.“Because when a child starts

to question their self-worth after being abused, and maybe starts withdrawing… or a young wom-an drops out of school after being attacked… it’s not just these in-dividuals and their families who suffer,” President Obama said. “Our communities—our whole country—is held back.”

Although sexual assault crimes are at an all-time high on college campuses, sexual assault numbers at the University of Northern Colorado are relatively low compared to other schools in Colorado.

UNC had two reported forc-ible rapes between 2009 and 2011, which is a low number when compared to the Univer-sity of Colorado-Boulder’s 14 re-ported rapes and Colorado State University’s seven reported rapes over the same period.

UNC Chief of Police Den-nis Pumphrey said that the UNC Police Department is constantly

patrolling campus for unusual circumstances. He said UNC is extremely safe when it comes to rapes with unknown perpetrators, also known as stranger rape, be-cause there are many resources students can use to help them feel protected while on campus.

However according to the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network, 73 percent of sexual assault victims personally know their attacker, and as such they are not as prepared because the attack is unexpected.

There are many precautions students should take when pre-venting sexual assault. Pumphrey said UNCPD encourages people to take a self-defense class to help them feel more comfort-DEOH� LQ� D� GLIÀFXOW� VLWXDWLRQ��7KH�Campus Recreation Center offers a self-defense class this semester from 7-9 p.m. each Wednesday. He also said students should be aware of the campus-wide emer-gency poles and the campus es-cort system that UNCPD has to

offer for anyone walking on cam-pus after dark.

“You’ve got to just use your head,” Pumphrey said. “Make sure you don’t put yourself in a situation where your safety is go-ing to be compromised.”

There is a fear that not all col-leges are accurate and honest with their reports of sexual as-saults on campus, with the inten-tion of saving face and maintain-ing a popular name. However, Pumphrey said UNC is accurate when revealing sexual assault re-ports.

“Sometimes schools are more concerned about their reputation than sexual assault crimes. I am proud to say our school is differ-ent from that,” Pumphrey said. “We feel the information is get-ting to us.”

vides a 24-hour hotline for stu-dents who need someone to talk to.

Gina Brillon knows what the audience is thinking. She started her stand up routine on Tues-day at the University Cen-ter with fart jokes.

Brillon said she’s aware that this isn’t the best way to start off her set, but the jokes are universal— everyone has gone through what she de-scribed.

“We have all been there, where we can feel it coming,” Brillon said. “We think there may be something else after the initial fart. We need to get out of the conversation or situation that we’re in.”

The small crowd laughed heartily.

Although Brillon has been featured on Comedy Central, MTV Tr3s, Chel-sea Lately and the Fuse Network, many audience members had never heard of her.

Not knowing her name didn’t deter the audience from enjoying her act.

“I thought she was re-ally funny, and she was different than the other comedians that I’ve seen,” said Hanna Brost, a junior human services major. “My favorite part was when she was talk-ing about the subway be-cause I’ve been to New York, and the subways are crazy.”

The subway story Bril-lon mentioned seems fairly typical: she was mugged on the subway. Her unique perspective and upbringing made her reaction to the incident hi-larious.

“I was on the subway, and this big guy grabbed

my bag and I was thinking ‘I’m getting mugged,’” Brillon said. “First he punched me. Don’t worry about it. I’ve been to pub-lic school. So then he tries to punch me again, and I grab his arm. You know when you start winning in D�ÀJKW�DQG�\RX�VWDUW� WDON-

Craft crewing can be a magical world—let’s go exploring

I grew up in a family where my parents’ vices weren’t the usual suspects. My parents weren’t drinkers or smokers; their weak-ness was Diet Coke. So, as a kid, I wasn’t around beer much.

However, there is a story that my parents like to tell me from when I was a baby.

We were at my grandparents’ house, and my dad and granddad were talking. My granddad had a beer. Out of either stupidity or

just bad decision making, they decided to see what my infant re-action to a sip of beer would be. They replaced my bottle with a sip of beer and, to their surprise, I loved it and didn’t want to give it back.

Bad parenting comments aside, it’s funny to think back to that story and see where I am now as a beer drinker. Growing up, drinking beer was generally looked down upon, and I was always told that beer tastes like “horse piss.”

So when I turned 21, I didn’t want to be that guy ordering Bud Light by the dozen just to get a buzz. I kind of wanted to be a beer snob, even before I knew what I was being snobby about.

On my 21st birthday my en-trance into the craft beer world started with a beer from Mac &

Jack’s Brewery in suburban Se-attle.

That was the moment that I realized that beer didn’t have to taste like animal waste. I’m now 24, and in three years of drinking craft beer, I’ve tried well over 300 distinct beers. I’ve learned that this industry is one of the most laid-back groups of people I’ve ever had the pleasure to meet.

That doesn’t mean they don’t take their craft seriously. This was never more evident than when I had the opportunity to go to the Great American Beer Festival, where grizzled brew-ers “fan-girled” over competing brews. It’s like a comic conven-tion but with fewer super villain masterminds and more drunken hop heads.

Since GABF I’ve become a KRPH�EUHZLQJ�ÀHQG��,�NQRZ�WKDW�

I want to stay in this industry in some capacity and dream of open-ing my own brewery someday. I’ve also taken steps to become a brewing scientist, which is ex-actly as awesome as it sounds.

Through the brewing science class at UNC, I received the op-portunity to intern at New Bel-gium Brewing Company in their quality analysis department. I get to be around beer all day, and af-ter work I take some home. Not a bad gig if you ask me.

Enough about me and my ob-VHVVLRQ�� LW·V� WLPH� WR� ÀQDOO\� VWDUW�talking about beer. Here’s a quick and dirty guide to not ordering EHHU�ÁDYRUHG� ZDWHU� GXULQJ� \RXU�next trip to the bar.

of a need to be combative in conversations

about race.

“In America, we don’t like to talk about

race,” Jones said. “It’s time we stop alien-

ating ourselves because somebody doesn’t

agree with us. Stop thinking ‘If you don’t

think like me, there must be something

wrong with you.’”

One theme of Jones’ address was an ur-

gent need for people to begin living up to

their full potential. To make his message

personal, he told of the triumph he felt upon

PDLOLQJ�D�FRS\�RI�KLV�ÀUVW�PDVWHU·V�GHJUHH�to a professor who told him in 1987, “you

people don’t tend to do well in graduate

Three UNC students who performed

at the Martin Luther King Jr. celebration

seemed to embody what Jones meant when

he said young people in particular should

“strive to be the best of the best.”

Eboni Coleman and Dar-

ian Gray each gave vocal musical

performances. Tyrell Allen, a senior Af-

ricana studies major, shared some of his

own performance poetry with the audience.

Allen said his piece, “We Are Royals

(Remix),” was about his struggle to feel

validated as a gay black man.

“It feels good to honor the legacy, and

DOVR�ÀJXUHV� OLNH�%D\DUG�5XVWLQ�ZKR�ZHUH�a part of his work,” Allen said. “I tend

“I describe the idea of validation as roy-

alty but suggest that we can all share this

sense of royalty by validating each other’s

identities and making less assumptions,”

Allen said of his poem. “Too many folks—

trans folk, folks in various non-Christian,

spiritual or non-spiritual communities,

the list goes on—spend too many days

on this earth being robbed of their vali-

dation because of political, economic, or

UNC wrestling’s dual Sun-

Sports Pavilion came down to

Trey Andrews’ performance in

WKH�ÀQDO�PDWFK�RI�WKH�GD\��+H�GH-livered, earning the Bears a 19-17

win.

Andrews (125) faced Cal Poly

senior Britain Longmire, but the

challenge of taking on a more ex-

perienced wrestler wasn’t enough

for Andrews as he was also faced

with the pressure of a winner-

take-all match.

The Bears were down by one

score wasn’t something he was

paying much attention to prior to

taking on Longmire.

“When I go out there, I don’t

see team scores,” Andrews said.

“I don’t see we’re down, I don’t

see we’re up. When I go out there

I’m looking to win regardless

of who I wrestle, regardless of

more to succeed.”

After two periods, Andrews

held a 1-0 lead over Longmire.

As the third period began, the

roaring crowd got louder, the

Bears on the bench began to show

their excitement, and Andrews

took control. At 1:47, Andrews

bumped his lead to three with

a near fall and seconds later, he

completed a reversal. Andrews

Bears find success at free-throw lineBasketball from page 1

UNC Head Coach B.J. Hill said he determines his point guard rotation on a game-by-game basis.

“With those two guys it’s all by feel,” Hill said. “Who I think has the en-ergy, defensively more than anything else. When I start seeing them stick to ball VFUHHQV� DQG� QRW� ÀJKW� RYHU�it, not having that swag-ger about themselves, then it’s time for the next guy to get in. To me, sometimes -RUGDQ� ÀQLVKHV� WKH� JDPH��sometimes Corey does. I don’t care who starts, it’s DERXW�ZKR�ÀQLVKHV�µ

Hill said one goal for the team was to get to the free throw line about 30 times, which the Bears did, mak-ing 26-of-31 attempts at the charity stripe. Spence and junior guard Tevin Svi-hovec both sunk six for a

team high. S e n i o r

center Con-nor Osborne didn’t see any court time; Os-borne start-ed Thursday but was put on the bench the rest of the game due to a knee injury.

The Bears’ sole loss in conference was at Montana State during the only road trip the Bears have taken during conference play.

“It’s good to win at home; we’ve got to do that,” Barden said. “But we can’t get a big head for road games. They’re going to be tough. Everybody says that’s our drop-off point, but we’ve got to just keep playing how we’re play-ing and practicing hard and carrying it over to the game.”

The Bears will take to the road beginning at Port-land State at 8 p.m. Thurs-day. The Bears return to Butler-Hancock Thursday, Feb. 13 when they host Montana.

Portland State has a bal-anced offensive attack with six players who average at least eight points per game, so the Bears must be pre-pared to play solid team de-fense to beat the Vikings on the road.

Saturday night, UNC takes on Eastern Washing-ton, which is second behind the Bears in scoring among Big Sky teams.

the restructuring comes a broader

Taking a number and waiting in line has never seemed like an exciting prospect—that is unless the line in question is for WKH�ÀUVW�RIÀFLDO�UHFUHDWLRQ-al marijuana sales in north-ern Colorado.

Local dispensary Cloud 9 Caregivers, situated in Garden City, opened up shop Jan. 20 and made KLVWRU\� E\� EHLQJ� WKH� ÀUVW�dispensary in this re-gion of Colorado to sell

marijuana for recreational purposes.

“It went really well. It ZDV� GHÀQLWHO\� FRRO� WR� VHH�a bunch of out of state people come in and take the time to see us,” said Ashley Park, a reception-ist at Cloud 9. Park said the dispensary had visitors from South Dakota, North Dakota, Illinois, Virginia, California, Utah and Wyo-ming who crossed state borders for the momentous occasion.

While many dispen-saries in Denver began

selling on Jan. 1, recre-ational marijuana sales haven’t quite taken off in other areas of the state just yet.

“We received our re-tail license prior (to Jan. 1), but we still needed a few things from the state,” Park said. She said the dis-pensary had some technol-ogy updates and changes to inventory that caused the delay in sales.

electronics. These are the types of memories that make me smile the most.

You could spend hours on the TV or Internet as a form of entertainment, but how much of it do you re-member the next day? I’m guessing not much. You could spend 10 minutes walking around the block with a loved one, and now how much do you remem-ber?

Even though you may have spent more time on an electronic device, it seems to be easier to make memo-ries away from an electron-ic regardless of the amount of time spent.

So what can we do to encourage the younger gen-

erations to stay active, en-gaged and socialized with the world around them? Participate in outdoor ac-tivities with them. Play soc-cer with them. Play tag with them.

This and encouraging physical activity will create a bonding experience for you and the child. It ben-HÀWV� WKH� FKLOG·V� KHDOWK� DV�well as your own.

If you are trying to cook dinner and little Timmy is making noise, you may feel tempted to place him in front of the TV to keep him quiet. Resist the temptation.

Ask your spouse to take Timmy outside and play with him for 20 minutes. Ask Timmy if he would like to help you make din-ner. Perhaps he could wash

potatoes. Or simply smile and admire the fact that Timmy is having fun and just being a kid.

There are other ways to keep children occupied and well-behaved rather than giving them a tablet or vid-eo game.

Electronic devices are fun and entertaining, no doubt, but one should keep in mind that these devices should be used responsibly so we may continue to en-joy time with loved ones, experience life hands-on and simply live.

This is a true story although Brillon ad-mits that she wasn’t actually thinking about all the weight she thought she lost; that was thrown in for comedic affect.

“A lot of the stuff I talk about is just life experiences that I feel like people can re-late to,” Brillon said. “I mean, in a strange way we are a lot more connected than peo-ple think. So when I share my stories re-gardless of my cultural background, I have a mouth like that, bringing my real life to the stage.”

Other audience members really liked her brand of honest comedy.

“I thought it was really funny,” said Tabitha Benton, a sophomore biology ma-jor. “I go to all of the comedy shows here so I thought she connected to more real world things. My favorite part was her talking about her background because she shows that its okay to be your background.”

Brillon talked about her love of choco-late, her vegetarian college years and how every woman has a crazy side. Check out Brillon’s website, www.ginabrillon.com, for show dates. Brillon will also be on this season of Stand Up Revolution on Comedy Central.

Getting tired of seeing the same types of photos on Instagram? I swear, if I have to look at one more person’s foodgram, cute pet pic or VHOI�LQGXOJHQW� GXFN�IDFHG� VHOÀH�� ,�might lose it.

Even non-science nerds will love having their mind blown by the incredible photos from NASA. The government org regularly posts pics of how they’re using the cutting-edge technology and the hyper-focused details of a su-pernova. They frequently show DVWURQDXWV�JRRÀQJ�RII�LQ�WKH�VSDFH�station. And as every astronaut

knows, you really can’t beat a self-ie from space.@Payphones

The hipster in you will adore this ode to the technology of yes-ter-year. In 2011, account owner Dan Marker-Moore started looking for forgotten payphones around his Los Angeles neighborhood. Now, contributors send him their shots of #payphoneography from New York and Chicago which he adds to his blog. Each photo in the feed is a poetic tribute to the now virtu-ally irrelevant phone.@psimadethis

This account is for every-one who cannot take one more birthday picstitch or 2013 Flip-gram. @Satiregram is a sardonic look at the typical Instagram user. The snarky tone is sure to make you laugh. It’s all text and no pic-tures, but I’m sure you’ll get the message.

of anywhere from 30 min-

utes to three hours, this is

where similarities to a line

at the DMV ended. In or-

der to make the wait less

excruciating, Cheba Hut

catered the momentous

day with toasted sandwich-

es and assorted munchies.

There was also a DJ at the

event to make sure spirits

remained high.

Customers were led to

a separate room to actu-

ally view and purchase the

marijuana.

Dino Bonacasa, owner

of a local smoke shop

called Bear Necessities,

said he was excited about

the effect the advent of rec-

reational marijuana sales

may have on his business.

“It’s always been a

good business so close to

campus,” Bonacasa said.

“We’re looking forward to

getting a new clientele we

wouldn’t normally have.”

While employees at

Cloud 9 didn’t wish to re-

lease the exact number of

sales that have been made

in recreational marijuana,

on advertisement, accord-

ing to Park, so they relied

on word-of-mouth when

it came to the grand open-

ing of recreational sales.

The crowded receptionist

area and groups of people

waiting outside on Mon-

day seem to be proof that

an announcement on the

Cloud 9 Caregivers Face-

book page was all that was

needed.

It would seem that,

at a dispensary in a col-

lege town, the major-

ity of customers would be

university students, but

Park said that’s not the

case.

“Honestly the crowd

that we’ve been get-

ting, the majority of it is

maybe about 40 plus,”

Park said.

She said that younger

adults still come in to

Cloud 9, but it’s a more

diverse group than some

might assume.

Average wait time over two hours on first day of sales
