Ethics expert speaks on honesty

Opera to debut at Northern Colorado

Jennifer Hazeldine [email protected]

Nearly 95 percent of American employees ad-mit to telling a lie while working for an organiza-tion. Of the accounting profession, 43 percent are honest at work.

On Tuesday evening, Beta Alpha Psi and the Student Center for the Public Trust invited guest speaker Gaylen Hansen to share his experience

regarding ethics - the val-ues we consider to be ac-ceptable or unacceptable - from over 30 years in the accounting industry.

Beta Alpha Psi is an honorary organization at UNC that encourages and recognizes scholastic and professional merit in the ÀHOG� RI� EXVLQHVV� DQG� LQ-formation.

SCPT promotes an interactive environment that supports ethical be-haviors and ideas.

Within the SCPT, stu-GHQWV�FDQ�ÀQG�RSSRUWXQL-ties for access to networks involving the business community while devel-oping leadership skills at a professional level.

Beta Alpha Psi and SCPT welcomed Han-sen as a guest speaker to UNC to provide students with an opportunity to gain valuable informa-tion and advice from an experienced accoun-tant.

Hansen used to serve as a member and chair of the Colorado State Board of Accountancy and is currently the Chairman of the National Associa-tion of State Boards of Accountancy with almost 40 years of experience in accounting.

He is also a part of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Standing Advisory Group. See Ethics on page 10

Imagine an intangible, spiritual realm somewhat parallel to our universe.

A realm where pun-dits of various viewpoints dissect current events unabashedly, riling each other up and freely sling-ing whatever dogma they believe in.

This part shouldn’t be hard; it’s not too differ-ent from most cable news programs currently on air.

Now image this realm, but Judy Garland is there—and so is Mi-chael Jackson. This is the realm in which much of David Conte’s new opera “Stonewall” takes place.

In the memoir, Groom discuss-es her experiences with alcohol abuse at 15 and pregnancy at 19. Groom, a victim of abduction and rape, also writes about her many stints in rehab and how poetry saved her from a life of addiction and self-mutilation.

Groom has published three books and has been featured in The New Yorker, The New York Times, Poetry Magazine and Best American Poetry 2010.

National recognition for UNC Cumbres teaching program

The University of Northern Colorado’s Cumbres teacher preparation program was recently recognized in the “What Works for Latino Students in Higher Ed-ucation Compendium” compiled and published by Excelencia in Education, an advocacy organiz-ing established in 2005 dedicated to increasing academic opportu-nities for Latino students.

The mission of the Cumbres program is to prepare teachers for the instruction of Hispanic students, language minority stu-dents, children of poverty, and other diverse populations.

The UNC Cumbres program was highlighted in a section titled “Culturally Compelling Strate-gies for Latino Students.”

Letter to the editor: 51st State initiative no good

The Mirror— October 21, 2013OPINIONS

Where has the support gone? I attend many of UNC’s sporting events to watch the excitement of our home teams com-pete against opposing teams across the na-tion. However, I have noticed the student audience sections of the volleyball and football games are generally a bit slim. I can easily count the number of students who attend with a general glance.

Where are our supporting students? UNC teams have won and lost several

games this fall, but I have an idea that might improve our teams’ performance even further: Student enthusiasm and sup-port.

Let’s think back to when we were chil-dren growing up. Mom and Dad are cheer-

ing us on at the talent show, the soccer game, the baseball game, the science fair, etc. Our friends and family scream out our QDPH�DQG�ERRVW�RXU�FRQÀGHQFH��

How did you feel when you could hear the cheering from afar? Pretty good. It makes you want to go above and beyond, does it not? A part of you does not want to let your fans down.

Even in high school it still felt good to be cheered on in any event. No matter the age, we as humans appreciate having sup-port from our family and friends.

This is the idea I would like to pass for-ward within our university.

Imagine the student sections of each sporting event spilling over with excite-ment, cheers and almost every seat oc-cupied. Try to picture dozens of students wearing their school colors and waving big poster signs of encouraging words.

Our home teams may feel so elated that they could be motivated to perform to the best of their abilities every time they com-pete in a match.

If the other team scores a few points, students could build up our teams’ con-ÀGHQFH� DJDLQ� E\� FRQWLQXLQJ� WR� FKHHU� RQ�

the Bears without degrading the opposing teams.

Students would be demonstrating good sportsmanship by not “booing” the other team, but simply continuing to uplift and show support towards the Bears. Encour-aging good sportsmanship serves as a great role model for children and other audience members.

Many students may say that they are too busy to attend a sporting event. Stu-dents do not have to attend every event. I too have a busy schedule and am not able to attend every sporting event. With homework, family, friends and work it can EH�GLIÀFXOW�WR�DWWHQG�DQ\�HYHQW�DW�81&��

However, attending the events UNC has to offer could actually decrease the amount of stress an individual holds in a given week because it allows for him or her to leave the house and the liabilities behind for an hour or two and escape from the chaos.

It is also worth noting that the recruit-ing process for college athletics usually involves inviting a prospective recruit to a game or match of his or her respective sport. Typically, this is an opportunity for

the recruit to gain a perspective on the competitive atmosphere of the school and the support of fans.

Recruits are more likely to attend schools where there is a broad and spir-ited fan base that provides a high-energy environment for competition. Unfortu-nately, the poor attendance at UNC sport-ing events may be negatively affecting the university’s ability to attract top recruits.

Taking a break from business allows for the mind to clear and rejuvenate. Af-ter returning from an event, students are likely to feel more prepared and willing to study without stressful thoughts clouding their heads.

Sporting events provide excellent op-portunities for quality time with friends and family. They also provide for a memo-rable experience.

Chairs were pulled up all around the living room of the Cesar Chavez Cultural Center on October 16th as about two dozen students gathered to share and listen to sto-ries about the experience of immigrating to the US.

The event, entitled “Viajes de Aquí y Allá: Historias de Inmigración”, or “Trav-els from Here and There - Stories of Immi-gration,” involved nine students (all native Spanish speakers of Hispanic origin) read-ing original stories they’d written about personal, cultural, or familial immigration experiences.

The stories were followed by a brief open mic session and opportunity to share food and drinks with participants.

The event, described as an afternoon of immigrant stories, was put on by Sigma

Delta Pi, the Hispanic Honors Society, in conjunction with the Cesar Chavez Cultur-al Center and the Hispanic Studies Depart-PHQW��7KH�HYHQW�LV�LQ�LW·V�ÀUVW�\HDU��DFFRUG-ing to Sigma Delta Pi President Rodolfo Vargas.

“They do this in different classes, so we were just trying to share those stories with other people outside of those classes,” Var-gas said. “So we could have the opportu-nity to share the experiences.”

Stories are chosen by Professor Efrain Garza, who teaches classes for native Spanish speakers, along with members of Sigma Delta Pi.

“We ask different people and if they’re willing to share their stories, they’re wel-come to share them,” Vargas said.

Many attendees this year were members or students in the Hispanic Studies Depart-ment as well, though the event was open to the public.

Patricia Ward, a student in one of UNC’s classes for native Spanish speakers, had the experience of writing a story like those shared in her class.

“(I) wanted to hear...the ones they were going to read today,” Ward said. “I’m not participating, so I just wanted to be on the other side,” she said.

The afternoon started with Garza’s read-ing of an article he’d written for a Hispanic cultural journal, describing the struggles and dangers of journeying to the US.

Students Karlett Eguiluz, Francisco Vargas, Nicole Pedraza and Virginia Purata shared familial immigration experiences, including stories of ancestors who arrived decades ago from Europe, grandparents facing challenges of legal and illegal im-migration and memories of immigrating with parents.

Brenda Moreno and Janette Lopez Rodriguez told stories of friends and ex-

tended family members facing domestic violence, deportation, and the separation of families.

Rodolfo Vargas discussed the impor-tance and strength of family support.

The Cultural Center, along with Sigma Delta Pi, holds various events throughout the year for students interested in Hispan-ic culture and native speakers alike, said Honor Society Vice President Angelica Rivas.

“They can stop by here, ask, or go to WKH�RIÀFH�RI�KLVSDQLF�VWXGLHV�µ�5LYDV�VDLG�when asked how students can learn more about hispanic studies at UNC.

Students interested in learning more about the Heritage Month, the services and support available to Hispanic students, or opportunities to speak in Spanish at UNC can visit the Cesar Chavez Cultural Center, open Monday to Thursday from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Fridays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

On Oct. 16, Outdoor Pursuits offered students an opportunity to learn about camping and the outdoors by providing a camp kitch-en workshop. The goal of the camp kitchen workshop was to show students that they can have gourmet food anywhere.

The workshop displayed all forms of camp kitchens, from the elaborate com-PHUFLDO� VHWXSV� WR� D� ÀUH� SLW�and a rustic backpacking set up.

With each of these sets, a unique menu item was given, starting with cider, hot chocolate, omelets made in a bag, reconsti-tuted, freeze-dried lasagna, cherry cobbler and a camp must—s’mores made over DQ� RSHQ� ÀUH�� $OO� RI� WKHVH�foods can be made using different setups, depending on the type of camping be-ing done.

Common to most wider-ness groups, Outdoor Pur-suits emphasizes “leave no trace” ethics, a code of environmental stewardship that urges people to leave limit evidence of their time spent outdoors.

The foremost advice given to students about camp meals is that every camp kitchen must be set up for the desired cuisine.

“It is always a good idea to plan what you’re go-ing to do, how long you’re going to go on the trip for, how many meals that’s go-ing to be, how many meals are going to need to be quick.”said Rebecca Howe, an intern at Outdoor Pur-suits. “If you’re going to have a busy day, if you’re going to have to get up early, if you’re coming in late then you’re going to be tired and not want to do as much in the morning, so having those quick things to do is important.”

For backpackers, weight of food is an important thing to consider. Students can get a wide range of freeze-dried meals from the gear shop that serve four people and other gear as well.

The dos and do nots of outdoor cooking urge students to keep in mind the “Bearmuda Triangle.” Camp kitchens should be set about 200 yards away from the campsite —same with the bear bag—and a water source should

be nearby. Although a small num-

ber of people came, they camp for different reasons.

“In Korea, I never get to go camping a lot, so I think, what kind of food in camp-ing?” said junior business major Jiyoung Kim.

For those that came, it was certainly an educa-

tional experience about the kinds of food they can have on the trail, depending on where they are going next.

The next Outdoor Pur-suits workshop—and last of the semester—is “Maps and Compasses,” sched-uled for Nov. 13. Outdoor Pursuits workshops are free for all students.

The Island Grove Park Events Center, which stu-dents at the University of Northern Colorado may only recognize as ‘that place’ where the Greeley Stampede is held every year, was transformed into a site of free, one-on-one services for individuals in need this weekend.

Hundreds of volunteers helped to make Weld Proj-ect Connect a success on Friday afternoon.

Weld Project Connect, which is in its third year, is a collaborative event

involving the City of Gree-ley, Weld County Govern-ment and United Way of Weld County.

,Q� LWV� ÀUVW� \HDU�� :HOG�Project Connect served over 1,100 community members. Last year, the event served over 900 resi-dents.

The event’s slogan, “Neighbors helping neigh-bors,” came to life with the help of local and national sponsors, UNC included, who donated time, money and services.

Volunteers greeted guests as they arrived and assessed what services they would need.

They then walked in-dividuals and families through every step of the way, waiting in line with them and making sure they received all the help they needed.

Free childcare was pro-vided for participants with children and free trans-portation to the event was available through the Gree-ley-Evans bus service.

Shea Masterson, a se-nior nursing major at UNC, volunteered at the health section by giving IUHH�ÁX� VKRWV��ZKLFK�ZHUH�in high demand.

“It feels good to give back to the community and

to be able to help people that normally wouldn’t be able to afford these ser-vices without volunteers,” Masterson said.

Services were made available from over 50 different health and hu-man services agencies and community organizations, including a couple of lo-cal hair salons that offered free haircuts.

%LUWK� FHUWLÀFDWHV�� WX-berculosis testing, medical screenings, legal help and resume assistance are all examples of the plethora of aid offered at Weld Project Connect.

“What this is about is

services, not referrals,” Greeley mayor Tom Nor-ton said. “It’s not just a lot of people standing around handing out brochures.” Norton also said this year’s event depended on the help of volunteers more than ever since so many fami-lies have been displaced by WKH�UHFHQW�ÁRRG�GLVDVWHU�

Mark Tucker, director of marketing and commu-nity development at Unit-ed Way of Weld County, said that this was taken into consideration and that representatives from the Federal Emergency Management Agency and American Red Cross were

made available this year for those families affected E\�WKH�ÁRRG�

Unlike similar events, which may require proof of need, Tucker said that the goal of Weld Project Connect is to help all those in the community who re-quest it.

Often times, the people in need of help may feel isolated from the commu-nity and not know how to gain access to these ser-vices.

“We really want to make sure that they be-come aware of options that they didn’t know were available,” Tucker said.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Self-assembling robots are a new breed of a once- thought-to-be-impossible machine of another world.

Not just hunks of metal and buttons that can pick up and drop objects, more than the robotic carpet cleaner Roomba, and well beyond the mechanic dance move from the 1960s, self-assembling robots have catalyzed a new generation of automatic devices.

The idea was thought to be impossible when a young John Romanishin proposed the design to his robotics professor Daniela Rus in 2011.

“I am inspired by a de-sire to try to design and build interesting systems that could be helpful to so-ciety,” Romanishin said in response to the question of what inspires him to push VFLHQWLÀF�OLPLWV��

Rus said it would be impossible. However, Romanishin was not con-vinced. Romanishin and Rus, along with Kyle Gil-pin have worked together to defy the impossible.

The execution of this

idea was spawned from a young man. In an interview Romanishin was asked how professionals take his ideas and project seriously.

“Nobody really took me seriously until I built a prototype and showed them a video of it work-ing,” Romanishin said. “It also probably helped that WKLV�ÀUVW�SURWRW\SH�ZDV�DOVR�part of an application for a small grant (MIT Eloranta Fellowship).”

“I think that the main lessons that I learned from this, which are now much more clear to me, are that taking initiative really is as important as we are told. In my experience profes-sionals or professors are so busy and are bombarded with ideas and requests for funding, to try to show that you are prepared to attempt to actually implement ideas \RXUVHOI�DQG�DWWHPSW�WR�ÀQG�resources goes a long way.”

These self-assem-bling robots are small cubes, known as M-blocks, which have no external moving parts.

This essentially means that they move unlike ani-

mals or humans. No ap-pendages or limbs assist in movement.

M-blocks have the unique power to climb over, around, under, roll on WKH�JURXQG��ÁLS�WKURXJK�WKH�air, and move while hung from a metallic surface. The mechanism that makes WKHP� ZRUN� LV� D� Á\ZKHHO�that lives inside of the M-block.

6SHFLÀFDOO\�� WKH� Á\-wheel moves at the speed of 20,000 revolutions per minute. When it is put to a stop, the wheel projects an angular momentum to the cube.

The edges of the M-block additionally have magnets arranged on the sides in order for any two M-blocks to connect to one another.

Rus claims that the exe-cution of this idea has been long sought out after in the modular robotics com-munity. She explains that researchers have studied a sliding-cube model where two cubes facing each other can slide up the side of the other and, without changing orientation, slide

across its top.Studying this model

helped acquire a sense for the development of self-as-sembly algorithms. Before, Rus describes how her team had a similar, stable model.

This enabled MIT re-searchers to then manipu-late this new robot and VLJQLÀFDQWO\� VLPSOLI\� WKH�design by leaving the prin-ciple of static stability be-hind. Because of this, the researcher’ robot relies on high-level engineering, en-abling faces of any cube to attach to one another.

When asked how Ro-manishin expects to further the project, he said, “The main interesting research directions that we are in-terested in are making the modules more capable, (add sensors, add multiple directions of motion) while also decreasing the cost of each module enough to build somewhere from 20-100, and then implement interesting algorithms in an attempt to make this larger number of modules perform useful functions autonomously.”

After 16 days of partial shutdown, the federal gov-ernment has reopened after the Senate overwhelmingly approved a budget bill. Ac-cording to Fox News, the short-term bill will fund the government and raise the debt ceiling, just in time to DYRLG� WKH� ÀUVW� GHEW� GHIDXOW�in American history.

If a deal wasn’t passed by last Wednesday, accord-ing to CNN, the Treasury Department would have exhausted accounting ma-neuvers to keep the nation under the legal borrowing limit. Were this to happen, the Treasury would have been forced to pay the na-tion’s debts using an esti-

mated $30 billion in cash reserves. Economists esti-mated that these reserves would have lasted no later than early November, at which point economic fall-out from the United States’ inability to pay debts would have begun.

The vote came after House Republicans, who hold the majority, said they were ready to back down on their demands that a budget bill include mea-sures to reign in the Afford-able Care Act.

Speaker of the House -RKQ� %RHKQHU� DIÀUPHG�that the House would take up the bill, and that he ex-pected the shutdown to end Wednesday. He told a Cin-cinnati radio station that Republicans had “fought

WKH� JRRG� ÀJKW�� >WKH\@� MXVW�didn’t win.”

President Barack Obama signed the bill into law late Wednesday night. He said that both branches of Con-gress need to work togeth-er better, and that he will speak in the coming days on avoiding the political brinkmanship that charac-terized the shutdown.

CNN reported that the Senate bill included a mea-sure to extend current fed-eral spending levels until Jan. 15, and one to raise the debt limit until Feb. 7. The bill also sets up budget ne-gotiations between the two branches aimed at devising a broader spending plan for WKH� UHPDLQGHU� RI� WKH� ÀVFDO�year, which ends on Sept. 30, 2014. Another mea-

sure provides back pay for hundreds of thousands of federal workers who were furloughed during the shut-down.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid called the com-promise worked out be-tween himself and his Re-publican counterpart Mitch McConnell “historic,” and was quoted by CNN as saying that “in the end, po-litical adversaries work out their differences.”

However, the debate over the Affordable Care Act, which was the major point of contention between the parties throughout the shutdown, isn’t expected to fade away. CNN said that Boehner and other Repub-lican leaders had told their caucus they’d vote for the

Ethics from page 1 Hansen’s work experi-

ence centers on Securities and Exchange Commission accounting and reporting. His responsibilities include IRUPXODWLRQ�� ÀUP� DFFRXQW-ing and audit technical policy standards. Hansen VSHFLDOL]HV� LQ� ÀQDQFLDO�reporting, business valu-ation, and expert witness services.

The evening opened with a short lecture. Han-sen discussed the impor-tance of ethics, ethical is-sues in business, improper accounting practices, and other aspects involving ethics in the workplace.

Hansen told the audi-ence to try to picture wheth-er they would be all right if everything they said in the course of a day would be posted on the front cover of the public newspaper. He explained that they could use this thought process whenever about to make an ethical decision.

“(It) is a good way to know if you made an ethi-cal decision or not,” senior accounting major Grant Smith said.

According to Hansen, many employees have no formal ethics training. In fact, honesty in the work-place is quite slim.

Hansen explained that some of the major reasons good people make bad de-cisions are peer pressure, failing to view certain ac-tions as “illegal,” lack of resources and the inability to feel loyal to a company or organization.

Lack of independence and corrupting the public interest are a few of the major ethical issues cur-rently taking place in Colo-rado’s organizations.

To further provide his audience with ideas re-garding the types of ethi-cal issues that could take place in the workplace, Hansen passed out true story cases in which ethics were violated in several different organizations.

Audience members worked in groups to dis-cover which method would be the most ethical solu-tion for resolving the issue at hand. Resolutions to the cases were revealed and discussed in further depth.

The cases proved to be helpful to students by al-lowing them to have a JUDVS� IRU� HWKLFDO� FRQÁLFW�and how to resolve a simi-lar issue in the future.

When the discussion ended for the night, stu-dents continued to talk for an additional twenty min-utes. Many continued to

discuss what they found to be the most appealing as-pect of the lecture.

“I really liked the sce-narios Hansen passed out because you can relate the cases to real life situations. When you go out into the workforce, you can look back to these scenarios and refer back to them,” senior accounting major Monica Erebia said.

Other students found the event to be rather appealing and informational. Some of the information Hansen re-vealed proved shocking to some students.

“I like the fact that Han-sen pointed out that there

are so many unethical people in the workforce,” said the Alumni Relations 2IÀFHU� RI�%HWD�$OSKD� 3VL��a senior accounting major DW� 81&�� ´1LQHW\�ÀYH� SHU-cent of people admit that they lie on the job. It is a big eye-opener. I found the speech to be appealing because it brings to mind the idea that accounting is more than just crunching numbers. Accounting is always asking, ‘Am I do-ing something that is go-ing to hurt someone else?’ Another element I liked is the idea that, ‘It’s okay to lose your job for an ethical reason.’”

The crowd held its breath as another egg dropped from the eighth story win-dow in its specially engi-neered casing.

It plummeted to the ground with a sudden, vio-lent splat.

7KH�(JJ�'URS��D�À[WXUH�of CU’s Engineering Days, took place Friday outside of the Engineering Center. It gave passersby a fun sight and contestants a chance to compete on design and crowd approval.

“The whole point of E-Days is to get people inter-ested in engineering,” said senior electrical and com-puter engineering major Daniel Donahue, 21.

Stonewall from page 1 The pundits in “Stonewall”

are no different than the pundits we’re familiar with: they don’t exist without a talking point. In “Stonewall,” the characters in the spirit realm exist to comment on the show’s other setting, namesake and primary storyline: New York City, 1969, the Stonewall riots.

In the early hours of June 28, 1969, New York City police raid-ed the Stonewall Inn, a gay bar in New York’s Greenwich Village. Police raids on gay bars weren’t unusual at the time, but police lost control of the crowd that quickly amassed outside. The ensuing ri-ots of that night and the night af-ter are widely considered the be-ginning of the modern gay rights movement.

UNC alumnus John Stirling Walker wrote the libretto, or op-eratic script, for “Stonewall.” By merging the historical and spiri-tual settings, the libretto makes the historical backdrop of the Stone-wall riots relevant to a modern audience.

Although the viewpoints ex-pressed by the pundits in the spiritual realm were written to re-ÁHFW� YLHZSRLQWV� IURP� WKH� ��V��WKH\·UH� WKH� VDPH� UHÁHFWLRQV� DQG�arguments we hear today on either side of the GLBT rights move-ment.

According to associate pro-fessor of music and “Stonewall” director Brian Luedloff, “Stone-

wall” offers “a completely unam-biguous voice” in the current po-litical climate.

“John (Walker) was very inter-ested in this idea that the left and the right weren’t talking to each other,” Conte said. “That they were talking past each other. There was no real conversation.”

Before Walker’s death in May ��&RQWH�DQG�:DONHU�KDG�FRO-laborated on eleven other projects together, including “Famous,” an opera featuring Andy Warhol, Sal-vador Dali and Edie Sedgwick as characters. Conte said that Walk-er’s connection to UNC was what brought the “Stonewall” premiere to Greeley.

The sometimes harsh words that make up “Stonewall” are ac-companied by up-tempo, occa-sionally cartoonish and exagger-ated music.

Although Stonewall is an op-era, the musical style sounds like an opera-musical theater hybrid at times. Conte says that both he DQG� :DONHU� ZHUH� LQÁXHQFHG� E\�Stephen Sondheim, composer of “Sweeny Todd” and “Into the Woods.”

Conte composed “Stonewall” the same way he says he composes all his works: he sang every note and “lived” with the characters.

“You have to create these char-acters and get up with them every morning,” Conte said. “Like that piece we did about Andy Warhol, ‘Famous.’ It was, ‘Good morning, Andy.’ And I’d have to be with

Andy Warhol that day.” That kind of dedication to char-

acter from the composer is some-thing the actors in “Stonewall” might be able to relate to.

“That’s the thing with opera. You’re sometimes someone very different from you,” said Jack Richard, a sophomore vocal per-formance major. Richard plays Father O’Rourke, one of the con-servative pundits from the spiri-tual realm.

German Duarte, a junior mu-sic education major, plays Prince Charming, a main character and participant in the 1969 Stonewall riots. During a run through per-formance, Conte said he thought

one of Duarte’s solos was going to be a show-stopping moment. Duarte said he is proud of his per-formance and of the movement he represents with it.

“Stonewall” is about a move-ment, one of many, about social justice that is still living today,” Duarte said. “The GLBT move-ment is something we’ve been pushing for since before Stone-wall (the riots), since before that, too. And we’re still pushing.”

“Stonewall” will be at Union Colony Civic Center in Hensel Phelps Theatre Saturday. for per-IRUPDQFHV�DW��S�P��DQG��S�P��)RU� WLFNHW� LQIRUPDWLRQ�� FDOO� ��

“Stonewall” intended to reflect viewpoints on GLBT from 1960s

Shadae [email protected]

A unique sound came from the Mount Evans ballroom on Tues-day—a mixture of guitar, a series RI�VKXIÁLQJ�IHHW�DQG�GDQFH�LQVWUXF-tions played over the speaker sys-tem.

“When you hear that guitar, it’s D�GLVWLQFW�VRXQG�WR�EDFKDWD�µ�ÀOP-maker Adam Taub said during his presentation titled “Bachata Dance: Roots, Style and Evolution.” Taub made a documentary about bachata called “El Duque de la Bachata,” in English, “The Duke of Bachata.”

The lecture and dance lesson gave everyone in the audience a chance to learn about the culture of the Dominican Republic and the beginning of bachata.

“I loved learning about the cul-ture,” said Dan Kiemele, a special education major at UNC. “I had no idea how much a dance could say about a culture.”

While it was not popular when LW�ÀUVW�VWDUWHG��EDFKDWD�KDV�EHFRPH�a very large part of the Dominican Republic’s culture and many na-WLYHV�ÀQG�D�VSHFLDO�FRQQHFWLRQ�ZLWK�the music.

“Bachata means remembering

the past but living in the present. You may think of someone you once knew or a past experience,” said Margarita, a native of the Do-minican Republic, in Taub’s docu-mentary.

Taub said Bachata is popular with people of all ages and in coun-tries around the world.

“Anyone from 5-years-old to 85 can enjoy Bachata. The fes-tivals are held in many different countries such as: Australia, Japan, China, Finland, Russia and Italy,” Taub said as he encouraged the au-dience to come forward to dance. “Listen to the music and you’ll be

better at the dance.”The audience consisted of a va-

riety of different experience levels. Practiced dancers and those who have never danced bachata before came forward to give it a shot.

“It was a new experience,” communications major Jamie Vorce said, “I learned a lot about the culture.”

Overall, Taub said he felt the event was a success.

“The dancing was great, we had a wonderful turnout,” Taub said shortly after the end of his work-shop. “It was great to get this style out there.”

WEDNESDAYS

In the daytime, Gree-

ley’s Morbid Nights haunt-

ed house is bright and open,

but when the show starts

at 7:30 p.m., it’s a differ-

ent story. Morbid Nights

focuses on the life of Dr.

-HQNLQV�� D� ÀFWLRQDO� VHULDO�killer, who killed his family

and is now letting the audi-

ence visit his deadly home

for dinner.

Corey Calhoun plays

the star of the show, Dr.

Jenkins himself, and said

he appreciates the opportu-

nity to work at the haunted

house.

“There’s not really any

other outlets in Greeley,

besides there’s a comedy

club, and other than street

acting, this is a really good

outlet for a lot of people

ZKR��,�ZRUN�LQ�WKH�RLO�ÀHOG�myself and it’s kind of a se-

rious job, can’t really mess

around on the job, so I

come here,” Calhoun said.

“It’s a really good creative

outlet.”

Preparation for the role

of Dr. Jenkins is more than

meets the eye, and requires

a different mindset.

“I have to yell a lot when

I get in there and really get

into Dr. Jenkins voice-wise

so all day I sing really loud.

I can’t sing but I still just

get my voice ready for it,

and you know, you put on

the costume.”Calhoun said.

“You get into it, and it’s all

about the energy. You just

have to get your energy

ready to give it to these

SHRSOH�� WR�ÀOO�XS� WKH� URRP�and really scare them.”

Calhoun is also an Iraq

veteran, and talked about

how this haunted house is

a good civilian outlet. Cal-

houn says he feels military

veterans do so well in the

business, and spoke about

the family atmosphere and

the ability to be indifferent

of what other people think.

“People are scared of

things like acting or public

speaking, but when you’re

in the military they break

down those fears,” Calhoun

said. “If you’re not going to

kill me, I’m not going to be

scared. I can go out and say

whatever I want, do what-

ever I want in character

and I’m not embarrassed

because I’ve been in places

to where I can’t be embar-

rassed or scared. All the

actors here, we’re all close

and we look out for each

other, we joke around a lot.

It feels like I’m back in the

army, it’s a great time.”

Enthusiasm is apparent

on the faces of everyone

interviewed, and when

asked about the best part of

the job, the most common

answer was their cowork-

ers. Jenna Hedrick, who

usually plays the roll of the

psychotic clown, has been

involved with the haunted

house since it was built.

She painted most of the

rooms.

“I love everything to

do with Halloween and

scary stuff, especially hor-

ror movies. It is so much

fun being here. The favor-

ite part about it for me is

the people. Some of the

people, yeah, we do have

drama with, but most of the

time we all just really get

Soccer splits overtime bouts on the roadSta! [email protected]

UNC soccer took to

the road last weekend to

face Northern Arizona and

Southern Utah, splitting

the two matches which

both saw extra time.

Friday night was the

weekend opener for the

University of Northern

Colorado (8-5-3, 4-2-1 Big

Sky) against Northern Ari-

zona (9-4-3, 5-2) in Flag-

staff, Ariz.

The game remained

scoreless through the

scheduled 90 minutes, but

in the third minute of ex-

tra time, NAU sophomore

forward Nicole Sherwin

received a pass from ju-

senior Bears goalkeeper

Natalie D’Adamio for the

deciding score.

start, but UNC freshman

on an unassisted goal.

Eight minutes later,

though, the Thunderbirds

(5-10-1, 2-4-1) evened the

score once more.

SUU senior forward

Sabrina Hernandez scored

on D’Adamio in the 82nd

minute, eventually forcing

the Bears into overtime

for the second time in less

than 48 hours.

This time around,

though, UNC was able to

come through and earn the

victory.

Freshman forward

Katherine Day received a

pass from junior defender

Ambree Bellin and depos-

ited it behind sophomore

SUU goalkeeper Tessa

Christensen in the 96th

minute to secure the vic-

tory for her Bears.

As of Sunday night,

UNC sits in fourth place in

the Big Sky, which would

qualify for the conference

tournament, though there

are two games remaining

in its conference season.

Band stands strong in supportRachel [email protected]

Week in and week out, rain or shine, they’re loud and proud.

As members of the Pride of the Rockies, the UNC marching band never loses sight of its energy during a home football game, by staying loud in support of the team.

No matter the score, this close-knit group will do what it takes to support the University of Northern Colorado.

As a section leader, se-nior music business major and tenor drummer Dustin Knock embraces what the band can do for each other.

“There’s a lot of stuff that we think about, and there’s a lot going on, but everybody really sticks to-

gether and keeps that en-ergy going,” Knock said. “People bounce off of each other and everybody just seems to be excited for the game no matter what hap-pens.”

The marching band practices every Wednes-day, Thursday and Friday for two hours to prepare for each home game. On game day, the band arrives at practice more than three hours prior to kickoff and marches through campus, ÀQLVKLQJ� DW� 1RWWLQJKDP�Field to start a ripple effect of energy.

Senior music major Ra-chel Hutchens is a saxo-phonist for the marching band. She said a key for the band is to have a good time.

“That’s the thing, we just try to keep having fun,” Hutchens said. “We know

that the football team needs our support and they really do thrive off of the energy from the crowd, so we try to bring that energy for them.”

The season doesn’t end for the marching band when the Bears play their last home game. During the spring semester the band still practices just like the football team does.

“Most people will do concert band, symphonic band and wind ensemble, and near the end of the spring semester, that’s when we start picking our section leaders, drum ma-jors and all of our staff for the next year, and picking out our music,” Hutchens said.

The marching band per-forms a halftime show dur-ing each game to keep their

momentum going. Senior music performance major Shaina Rush is one of the three drum majors, who conduct during halftime. Rush said there is a differ-ent mindset during halftime show for the band versus the actual game.

“We have to focus a lot more and kind of get the band to feed off of that, be-cause if we’re not focused, then they’re not going to focus during the show,” Rush said.

The marching band only plays at home foot-ball games, and stays home when the Bears travel on the road. The next home game for which the band will prepare to support UNC will be at 1:40 p.m. Nov. 2nd when the foot-ball team takes on Montana State.

RI�WKH�ÀHOG�KDG�D�IHPLQLQH�WRXFK�LQ�KRQRU�of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. A time

to spread awareness, raise funds and honor

those affected by breast cancer.

According to nationalbreastcancer.org,

breast cancer is the most commonly di-

agnosed cancer in women and the second

leading cause of death among women.

Breast cancer awareness also one of the

most recognizable causes. Because of the

large number of people affected by breast

cancer, many organizations, companies and

foundations have done something to both

raise money and awareness.

Recently the National Football League

has been criticized for giving only a small

percentage of its revenue from pink gear to

the cause it purports to support.

The retailer gets the largest chunk, 50

percent, followed by the manufacturer with

37.5 percent. The next two chunks are the

American Cancer Society Cancer Research

and American Cancer Society Administra-

tion with 8.01 and 3.24 percent, respective-

ly. The smallest chunk of the money from

merchandise sales goes to the NFL, which

says all money that doesn’t go to any of the

other four categories goes to “A Crucial

Catch,” a campaign that, “is focused on

the importance of annual screenings, espe-

cially for women who are 40 and older,”

according to the NFL’s website.

The idea of helping raise awareness and

funds for cancer is a noble cause; I will

never argue against that. Breast cancer re-

search is especially important to me as my

great-grandma beat it twice before passing

away only a few years ago and her daugh-

ter, my grandma on my dad’s side, was

recently diagnosed with breast cancer for

the second time. Both of these women have

fought against something: a disease which

has killed off so many others, and I cannot

express how blessed I am to not have lost

anyone because of the cancer.

What I do argue against, though, is how

breast cancer awareness has become more

of a trend than a goal of raising funds.

Bandwagons are too customary in society,

and too many times the message of the

greater goal is lost in the trend. It’s when

the actual purpose becomes lost in the fad

that the problem begins.

If the NFL is really concerned with

raising awareness, sanctions shouldn’t be

handed out to those who are spreading

awareness of a topic important to them

rather than just the ones the NFL deems ap-

propriate.

Marshall wasn’t wearing a disconnected

color to the cause, nor was he making up a

cause for himself. The only difference be-

tween Marshall wearing green cleats and

other players wearing pink ones is that one

cause has the stamp of approval while the

other doesn’t.

Do I think the NFL should donate more

of the money made from pink products?

Sure, but at the end of the day the NFL is

a business that gets tied up in contractual

obligations and is never able to be as black

and white as it would ideally be.

The bigger issue I have is the lack of

awareness and support for causes that are

outside the realm of constructed impor-

tance.

Volleyball head coach gives birth after leaving matchRachel [email protected]

A new teammate and family member has come into the fold for the UNC volleyball team. Weighing 7.7 pounds, Dylan Lu-cas Oates arrived on Oct. 11 at 1:09 a.m. to head coach Lyndsey Oates and her husband Mark.

The University of Northern Colorado was preparing to host Portland State Oct. 10 at Butler-Hancock Sports Pavilion when Oates left before game time due to contractions during warm-ups.

“I was starting to know that I needed to make a decision if I

was going to coach the match or not,” Oates said. “I watched (the match) in the hospital as I was sit-ting on the bed waiting, but it was GHÀQLWHO\� WKH� ULJKW� GHFLVLRQ� WR�leave when I did, which was right at the national anthem.”

2DWHV� EULHÁ\� WROG� WKH� %HDUV�that she was leaving for the hos-pital, and senior outside hitter Alyssa Wilson embraced the joy she had before the game.

“I was super excited,” Wilson said. “One was because I was ex-cited to play, but that just added a little extra excitement that a little baby was going to be here soon.”

The absence of Oates left as-

sistant coaches Jenny Glenn and Tom Hunter in charge of coach-ing the match, the second they coached without Oates after trav-eling to Sacramento State on Oct. 3 without her.

“I was prepared and just kind of stepped up to the plate in that moment and just reviewed the scouter report to get the overall picture and kind of just went for it and coached the match,” Glenn said.

The Bears fell to Portland State that night, 3-1 but bounced back to win against Eastern Washing-ton 3-1 Saturday while Oates was still in the hospital watching the

match from there.Oates returned to practice on

Tuesday to prepare the Bears for a weekend road trip. She will not be traveling with the team, but plans on returning next week.

“I feel good, and by the time they come back next Sunday we’ll be ready to go on Monday and I think I’ll feel back to my old self,” Oates said.

Oates did not travel with the team last weekend as it defeated Northern Arizona Thursday night and beat Southern Utah Saturday night to move to 4-6 in Big Sky Conference play this season.

The University of North-ern Colorado was forced to compete without key vet-eran players, leaving a team largely made up of fresh-man and sophomores to win big games.

“It’s all or nothing, our season ends next week,” VHQLRU� PLGÀHOGHU� -DPHV�Rucker said. “It’s in our best interest for the veter-ans to go out on a high note

“It’s the small details,” Rucker said of the team’s play heading into the play-offs. “We have the team to do it. It’s time to get picky.”

UNC edged out Wyoming dFriday at the Greeley Ice Haus 8-5.

Wyoming brought a physical game across the state border, according to senior forward Tripp Wheat.

“We just kept trying to keep our heads even though they were hunting for us,” he said.

The University of Northern Colorado played aggressively on defense in the neutral zone not allowing Wyoming clean lanes into the UNC zone.

The game was riddled with penalties for both sides. The Bears had eight penal-WLHV� LQFOXGLQJ� D� ÀYH�PLQXWH� PDMRU� JDPH�misconduct call on senior forward Corbin

Fitzgibbons. Fitzgibbons was ejected after the call midway through the third period. Wyoming had four penalties, including two in a row that allowed Bears senior defense-men Brandon Pougnet to score on a 5 on 3.

Both Wheat and Fitzgibbons were strong offensive presences, scoring two goals each.

Late in the third period, Wyoming scored two goals in two minutes to make the score 6-5 UNC with 5:58 left. With un-der a minute left, Wyoming pulled senior goalie Timothy Hill and UNC scored two HPSW\�QHW�JRDOV��WKH�ÀUVW�E\�IUHVKPDQ�IRU-ward Ansel Duesenburg and the second by sophomore forward Cody Thompson.

Coaches share family storiesSamantha [email protected]

Friends and family weekend is directed

at students but the UNC football coaching

staff makes family a priority, something

the coaching profession doesn’t easily al-

low.

When Earnest Collins Jr. took the head

coaching position at the University of

Northern Colorado, he introduced Thurs-

day night family nights. He brought the

idea from Kansas, where he was the sec-

ondary/special teams coach. Every Thurs-

day, four coaches can take a night away

IURP� WKH�RIÀFH� DQG� VSHQG� WKDW� WLPH�ZLWK�those who matter most.

“I’ve heard too many coaches in this

business when they get older, when their

kids are older, I’ve heard them say, ‘I

didn’t get to spend any time with my kids

and I missed this and I missed that,’” Col-

lins said.

“I don’t think it has to be that serious

when you neglect your family. I know not

everyone thinks like that, but I choose to.

My coaches understand this about me. If

something’s going on in their family, that

takes precedence over anything we’re

doing. I don’t care if it’s a game, cham-

pionship, middle of the week practice, it

doesn’t matter. You have to go be with

your family because when this is all over,

all you have is your family.”

Collins said after his Christian faith,

his family is the most important part of

his life. Collins and his wife Tabatha have

two daughters, Taylor and Marci, ages 15

and 11. They were born in Denver, and

this is the second time they have lived in

Greeley and the third for Earnest.

He played for UNC from 1991-1994

and graduated with his bachelor’s degree

LQ� NLQHVLRORJ\� LQ� �� 7KH� ÀUVW� WLPH�Earnest lived in Greeley with Taylor and

Marci was when he was an assistant from

2000-2003 for the Bears.

“When we lived here before my wife

worked at the Denver Tech Center, and it

goes to the family thing for me, I didn’t

want her driving from here down there so

I drove from down there to here,” Collins

said.

“When we knew we were coming back,

I said, ‘Baby, you know head coach-wise,

we’re...’ and she said, ‘we’re going to

Greeley, it’s no problem.’ So she’s happy

to be back home. We made our home here,

my girls love going to school at Universi-

ty (High School). It’s a good place for us.”

Wide receivers coach Keith Grable and

offensive coordinator Jon Boyer are the

other two UNC alumni on the coaching

staff, both making home for their young

families in Greeley.

Grable and his wife Susan have three

boys, Jaxson (8), Ryan (6) and Austin (2).

Keith met his wife at UNC, which led way

to them planting roots in Greeley to raise

their family.

“This place has done a lot for me, per-

sonally, and I just feel very fortunate to

still be here on staff and we’ve got a lot of

guys on staff that are alumni, so they’ve

been around, too,” Grable said. “It says a

lot about this university and this football

program. I grew up in Thornton, not too

far from here. I love the place, I love the

area and I love the community.”

Greeley is not only close to Grable’s

hometown, but also close to Longmont

and Eaton, where Susan’s parents and

Keith’s twin brother Dean reside, respec-

tively. Keith and Dean both played foot-

ball and basketball for the Bears. Dean

now coaches at Eaton High School.

“Their games are on Friday night so

he’s here every Saturday with his wife

and kids,” Keith said. “My mom and dad

are here, a lot of my brothers-in-law and

sisters-in-law come up to the games from

Longmont. It’s not far from anywhere and

it’s great to get everyone together like that

because a lot of families don’t get that op-

portunity.”

Boyer and his wife Vanessa grew up to-

gether in Grand Junction and both attend-

ed UNC. Jon played quarterback for the

Bears in 2000 and 2001 and later attended

graduate school at UNC and began coach-

ing for the Bears in 2004 as quarterbacks

coach while Vanessa was also obtaining

her graduate degree in education.

“I knew I was going to try to get into

coaching, talking to Coach (Kay) Dalton

about it,” Boyer said. “The one thing I

was always told was that it was very dif-

ÀFXOW�RQ�WKH�ZLYHV��,�WROG�KHU�DERXW�ZKDW�had been expressed to me by coaches. I

had to make sure that was something she

wanted to do before our relationship went

further.”

Considering the two are now married,

the realtionship has worked, even to the

point of expanding their family. Feb. 27,

“I think that other half is what keeps

you going in this business,” Boyer said.

“If I didn’t have (Vanessa) right now I

don’t know what I’d do.”

The emphasis on family is not common

for coaching staffs, especially at the col-

legiate and higher levels, but the staff at

UNC does recognize there are more im-

portant things in life than football.

along, we’re like one big, happy family. Our ringtone for everyone at the haunt is the Addams Family,” He-drick said. Cast members have fun together and even have their own little show behind the scenes.

“Especially when you really get into character, you’re in that room all night, it’s so much fun, especially when we don’t have people going through the haunt, we talk to each other in character, it’s hi-larious,” Hedrick said.

In every haunted house there are a wide range of visitors. Some people try to mess with the ac-tors, perhaps mask their own fear, while others are overcome by their sur-roundings. Hedrick told the story of the visitor she thought was swept off his feet.

“I think the funniest guy that went through our haunt, he was with this group of his friends, they SXW� KLP� ÀUVW� DQG� KH� FDPH�into my room. I came out

from behind the curtains, scared the crap out of him, I laughed at him, and he just went, ‘Oh, crap!’ and KH�ZDV�RQ�WKH�ÁRRU�VFUDP-bling and crawled back up around my stairs, back down the stairs, saw me again and did it again.”

Adam Phillips, the cre-ator of Morbid Nights has been creating haunted houses since he was four-teen years old. After his backyard haunted house

was seen by 2,800 people in 2008, Phillips’ father en-couraged him start his own public haunt. Inspiration for Phillips’ houses come from nightmares he has and writes down.

´,� RQO\� KDYH� DERXW� ÀYH�or six bad dreams a year, but the bad dreams I do have are kind of like this, and then also we have a committee of people that get together twice a month year-round, all volunteers and they bring their ideas to the table as well,” Phil-lips said. “In fact, one idea was, a friend of mine came to me he was like, ‘Man I had this dream last night, I was going to heaven I was walking on on the street and then all the lights turned off and I heard, ‘Step into the dark-ness,’ and that year we put it in the haunted house and we scared 500 plus people”

“The haunted house was really scary and impres-sive, they clearly put a lot of work into it,” UNC stu-dent Kira Korab said.

Morbid Nights accepts volunteers to play a part in its interactive theatre show.

Details about volunteer-ing may be found on their website, morbidnights.com, along with informa-tion about when they are open.

Poor attendance at a

recent time management

workshop suggests that the

student body at the Univer-

sity of Northern Colorado

may have almost entirely

mastered the concepts of

punctuality and responsible

prioritization.

The Center for the En-

hancement of Teaching and

Learning organized a time

management seminar on

Tuesday.

The CETL provides the

time management seminar

every month as long as stu-

dents still need it.

Although only one per-

son attended the seminar

this month, it is likely that

more than just one student

at the university could ben-

HÀW� IURP� EHWWHU� WLPH�PDQ-

agement.

The CETL is a resource

for students to learn more

about software applications

and skills that students will

use after they graduate.

“We provide training

in face-to-face and hybrid

workshops and through of-

ÀFH� YLVLWV�� GXULQJ� GHSDUW-ment professional develop-

ment meetings, with online

tutorials, through mini-con-

ferences, or through what-

ever venue best suits the

needs of the campus,” said

Robin Weber, instructional

technologist for CETL op-

erations.

“The Center provides

training for software ap-

plications, course develop-

ment, personal job skills,

leadership, time manage-

ment, Blackboard and

more,” said Weber.

“We also host monthly

Faculty Forum and Staff

Forum events that provide

professional development

opportunities for faculty

and staff.”

For the presentation on

time management, students

were able to take a quiz to

gauge how they spend their

time effectively.

“Students can go to

www.mindtools.com and

click on the productivity

quiz to see how they use

their time now and how

they can use their time

more productively,” Weber

said.

Kelley Giovanini, a ju-

nior nursing major recently

learned about the merits of

time management.

“I got a job this year dur-

ing school so learning how

to manage my time is really

important to me,” Giova-

nini said.

“I want to be able to do

everything I want to do and

sometimes I do and I ac-

complish everything,” she

said. “But I’m still strug-

job as well, especially since

it’s in Aurora and not Gree-

ley.”

Allanna Kotarski, a ju-

nior special education ma-

jor, said she loved that the

school has monthly time

management meetings.

“I feel myself slipping

into procrastination mode

right around this time of

year,” Kotarski said.

“It’s not the beginning

can skate by even though I

know that’s not necessarily

true. Going to these meet-

have more time to just hang

Breelyn Bowe | The MirrorRobin Weber, an Instructional Designer at CETL, speaks Tues-day at a monthly time-management workshop. The primary purpose of CETL is to develop faculty and sta! at UNC.

Time management workshop poorly attended Different priniciples applied in egg dropEgg from page 10

of Engineering Principles.”

“We looked on the inter-

net for a bunch of different

designs, and then we went

to Home Depot. We got the

wooden crossbars, we got

the main mast and we spent

probably eight hours in

all building this.” Sadighi

said.

The team designed an

arrow-like device to propel

the egg safely down.

The event was a smash-

ing success, according to

an freshman engineering

major, freshman Brandon

Antoniak, 18.

Antoniak attended the

Egg Drop to see what teams

were building this year to

give him ideas to compete

next year.

“I’m not interested in

getting the biggest splat,”

Antoniak said. “I’d work

on saving the egg because

as an aerospace engineer, I

want the astronauts to come

back and survive.”
