Baseball grabs three Great West wins over weekendDaymeon [email protected]

After a solid weekend of baseball, UNC hit a wall Sunday in a crush-ing 23-7 loss to North Da-kota.

The University of Northern Colorado (15-15, 6-2 Great West Con-ference) won the fi rst three games in the series against the University of North Dakota (11-15, 2-6

“We struggled a lot of-fensively and defensively, but thereʼs a lot to learn from it,” sophomore out-fi elder Jensen Park said. “Everyone out there is do-ing the best they can and we know that every play is going to help when try-ing to get out of innings.”

#UNCOtweetSigma Chi case still openStaff [email protected]

The campus community has stood behind the Sigma Chi fra-ternity as fi ve of the brothers were involved in a car accident in north Weld County April 3.

The case remains open, due to the condition of the driver and the investigation still being con-ducted.

“Because of the injuries to the driver, the case is still open. We are waiting to hear back if drugs and alcohol were involved,” said Steve Reams, Weld County Sher-iff bureau chief. “The driver sus-tained the worst injury. The others only suffered treatable injuries.”

Reams confi rmed the driver of the car was Nickolas Retallick, 19. The passengers were identi-fi ed as Brian Fischer, 20; Samuel Nadon, 20; Ryan Tweed, 20; and Garrett Hogue, 23.

Reams did mention the Sher-iffs Department should be receiv-ing the information needed to of-fi cially close the case.

“I would guess they will have that information rather quickly,” Reams said.

Reams described how danger-ous those country roads can be for a driver that might be unfamiliar with the territory. According to the Weld County Sheriffs Of-fi ce, the accident occurred around midnight.

“At this point, it looks like the cause of the crash came from driving in unfamiliar territory and in dense fog,” Reams said. “In the north part of the county, those county roads might look straight and safe but can be very danger-ous.”

According to The Greeley Tribune, the accident took place around Weld County roads 57 and 96, northwest of Briggsdale near Pawnee National Grass-lands.

Members of Sigma Chi held a candlelight vigil Thursday, April 4 in which members from other Greek life organizations and from around the campus com-munity were in attendance.

Graffi ti: A freeing artistic expression or a deviant act of vandalism?Thoughts from the editorial staff of The MirrorRefl ects

Secretary of State’s work with China must slow down N. Korea

The Mirror Refl ections are the opinion of The Mirror’s editorial board : Parker Cotton, Samantha Fox, Shimon Lidmark, Conor McCabe and Jaisee Starr. Email letters to the editor to [email protected].

By Cody Wright

The Wright Stuff

As we have all heard, North Korea has been causing the

world considerable stress over the past few weeks. Kim Jon Un has unleashed a barrage of aggressive rhetoric pertaining to the possible use of nuclear arms against the United States and South Korea.

Five missiles — pos-sibly armed with nuclear warheads — have been moved to North Koreaʼs east coast and stand ready to be fi red. Thus far, all talks, sanctions and

threats from the United States have proved inef-fective in the attempted denuclearization of North Korea. Secretary of State John Kerry is currently undergoing a diplomatic mission to speak with the leaders of China as well as Japan and South Ko-rea. Kerry is attempting to persuade China to use its economic and politi-cal leverage against North Korea in hopes that it will bring about peaceful ne-gotiations and the desired denuclearization.

According to NBC.com, China is North Ko-reaʼs primary trading part-ner and fi nancial backer. They have the strongest position to be able to dif-fuse the diffi cult situation in the east and the possi-

bility deal a serious eco-nomic blow to the already impoverished nation.

While reading an ar-ticle on NBC.com about Kerryʼs visit to China, I learned that the previ-ous Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, caused a great deal of mistrust with the Chinese due to some strong arguments over a variety of issues. The United States needs to show China that our country can be trusted and that North Korea must be subdued to prevent dam-age to the United States, South Korea or any of the surrounding Asian coun-tries. While doing this, the United States needs to urge China to convey the message to North Korea that we are not trying to

cause problems and want to resume a peaceful rela-tionship.

The sanctions imposed against North Korea by the United Nations came from North Koreaʼs dis-regard toward nuclear policy and construction of nuclear weapons. North Korea, while constantly pointing fi ngers at the United States for its inse-curity of being threatened, brought its isolation upon itself. NBC.com has ob-tained a statement from North Koreaʼs primary news station which states that nuclear weapons are North Koreaʼs “guarantor of peace.”

Our threats are a re-sponse to unacceptable actions. This needs to be made clear and China

has the unique ability to show Kim Jong Un that the United States is purely concerned with the grow-ing number of nuclear powers and the possibility of a catastrophic incident, not bullying a smaller na-tion.

I hope Kerry can con-vince China to take a more aggressive stance against North Koreaʼs young and headstrong leader. I would hate to see events unfold into war, and I would hate to see North Korea lead as an example that it can make threats and go against the policies of the United Nations.

The controversy re-garding whether graffi ti is art or vandalism is chang-ing as it is becoming more accepted in society.

Living in Greeley, one can recognize the grow-ing popularity of street art. Businesses are be-coming more accepting of large murals on build-ing facades around the downtown district. More opportunities are on the rise as Greeleyʼs art scene rapidly grows and the city begins to open its eyes to street art.

On the other hand, gang culture cannot go unno-ticed in Greeley or other urban settings. Graffi ti has been closely linked to

gang tags and boundaries, but these acts usually have associations to specifi c gang culture, separating themselves from the com-munity. This is the biggest difference between gang-associated graffi ti and street art.

Our neighbors in Den-ver are also stepping up to the plate, including street art as highlights in soci-ety. Denver has hosted a yearly street art festival three years running called Colorado Crush™, usually hosted in the fall, which is a block party focused on embracing the culture that is embedded in the sur-rounding community. This daylong event celebrates

the art and hip-hop culture found in Denver, highlight-ing local street artists.

History shows the im-portance of art and how, through even the earli-est societies, it has been integrated into the very structures people lived in. Frescos dating no less than 30,000 years ago can be found refl ecting the societies and geographic locations in which they occur.

Modern street artists use their surroundings to create a message, often closely linked to the com-munity surrounding the area. Members of these communities are able to emotionally connect to the

images being plastered, utilizing new age art ele-ments such as appropria-tion of images, time and space or location.

Appropriation is spe-cifi cally subjective to street art, taking common images recognizable by the public and juxtapos-ing their meaning with ad-ditional text or design for new artistic meaning. Con-temporary art and culture continue to change as art-ists experiment and push boundaries in their work.

In the words of Ray-mond Salvatore Harmon, author of “BOMB: A Manifesto of Art Terror-ism,” “Art is an evolu-tionary act. The shape of

art and its role in society are constantly changing. At no point is art static. There are no rules.”

Not only are street art-ists pushing their work to new heights, but all mod-ern artists are facilitating viewers to look at art in a new way. Opinions are vast in todayʼs society and while street art does not always create unity of viewpoints, it creates the opportunity to understand through purposeful expo-sure of growing ideolo-gies.

Students and children of all ages made their way south of the University Center Saturday to enjoy a petting zoo and carnival events.

More than 100 guests came to the University Program Councilʼs pet-ting zoo, which included face painting, free carni-val foods and an infl atable jumping castle.

The petting zoo in-cluded goats, sheep, don-keys, rabbits and miniature

horses. Hay and alfalfa were provided for students to feed to the animals. The event was intended to attract students at UNC with children in addition to the typical college student.

Many events that are held on-campus are at night or incorporate aspects that arenʼt necessarily appropri-ate for families and young children, so this was the perfect opportunity to inte-grate kin of UNC students and get them on campus for the event, which included stations catered more to a younger audience.

“We have been wanting to reach more students and be more inclusive in our programming,” said Lau-ren Koppel, a senior inter-disciplinary studies major and social developmental coordinator for UPC. “We thought that having food and activities such as the bouncy castle would be great for students with and without children.”

One of the most popular destinations was the face-painting station, which had a long line throughout the event and attracted all ages. Many of the younger kids took advantage of this station to illustrate on their faces.

“I heard about this event from Tramaine Duncan (UPC employee) and he en-couraged me to come with my daughter,” said Pamela Sanders, a senior social science and sociology ma-jor. “I think it is great that UPC put on this event for non-traditional students, and it is really cool to be invited and be able to share this place with my daugh-ter. It is really nice to feel included.”

The event was also well-received by UNC students without children, several of whom expressed a hope

that this would become an annual event, given the number of non-traditional students who are involved in the campus community.

“I love that this is hap-

pening and that there are so many people here,” said Brent Engel, a junior en-vironmental sustainability major. “It would be great for UNC to do this again.”

Poetry slamshowcases raw talentTessa Byrns [email protected]

With $50 from Best Buy at stake, aspiring slam poets at UNC bore their souls as a part of this semesterʼs slam poetry night Monday at the University Center.

The University Program Council and UNC Student Radio host the poetry slam once a semester in lieu of normal open mic nights. Student Senate Director of Diversity Relations Jonte Major also helped organize the event.

The winner of the poetry slam, Sean Higgins, talked afterward about what it meant to win the competi-tion.

“It feels amazing to have won,” Higgins said. “I get inspiration for my poetry from my life. I grew up in Denver, so thereʼs a very diverse population. I write about minorities and the people who are disrespect-ed — the people who canʼt speak for themselves.”

Several students who at-tended the event loved the candor that was shown by the poets.

“I like the poetry slam because all of the perform-ers are all so passionate,” said Javier Mancha, a soph-omore human communica-tion major. “Itʼs cool to see these people come out and put themselves out there. Itʼs an open environment and everyone can just feel the love.”

That sincerity brought about a few mixed reac-tions, particularly when more risqué subjects were broached. Hot-button issues such as gay marriage, rape, abuse, immigration, self-es-teem and relationships were

all addressed throughout the night.

“We want to give stu-dents a real poetry slam cafe experience,” said Shanice Clarke, a PR and marketing coordinator for the Univer-sity Program Council.

The poetry slam is judged in a way similar to the format used for UNCʼs Got Talent, with judges picked from the audience and each per-former receiving a rating from one to 10. The five performers who receive the highest score go on to the next round and are given prizes after a sec-ond performance.

During this semesterʼs poetry slam, six people were invited to the next round due to a tie between

two of the performers. While the organizers

typically highlight a popu-lar poet from the Denver area, this semesterʼs po-etry slam brought in last semesterʼs poetry slam victor and recent UNCʼs Got Talent winner Tyrell Allen as the featured poet.

Allen hosted the event and performed some of his own poetry, as well. Allen has been a familiar face

at open mic nights since he has been attending the University of Northern Colorado.

“Iʼve been attending open mic nights for the past three years, and I can only guess that Iʼve per-formed 10 times,” Allen said. “My inspiration for my poetry comes from my life. I was asked to host the poetry slam from Ria Vigil (the assistant director of Student Activities and the University Program Coun-cil). I think they asked me to host this event because I have a good relationship with Ria and I also won the last poetry slam and UNCʼs Got Talent.”

The next open mic night will be 9-11 p.m. next Monday, April 22 at the UC Fireside Lounge.

We all ‘Screams’ for lost childhood innocence Staff [email protected]

Luke Belsito, a se-nior philosophy major at UNC, revealed his dis-tinct perspective of life in his creation of an edgy comic book entitled, “Screams from the Inside of a Cardboard Box.”

Made of a series of three bizarre yet intrigu-ing, narratives, the com-icʼs story originated from three separate improvisa-tional shorts all centered on the concept of trans-formation and experienc-es that lead to the loss of a personʼs innocence.

“Questioning the world

around me is food for the imagination and for art,“ Belsito said.

Belsito is selling “Screams” at three Gree-ley locations: Mellow Yellow, Café Panache and Woodyʼs Newsstand, or it can be bought online at www.crowstread.com.

Belsito is not afraid to push the boundaries of comics through his surreal vision of three characters in perhaps the most disparaged states of their fi ctional lifetimes. One of these characters is a teenager who was once overly indulgent in a boyhood fantasy of Pokémon. Through a fan-

tastic series of events, he completely transforms into one of the characters of his childhood, and a wise homeless man says of his misfortune, “Once you grow up, you forget so easily where youʼre going!”

“ʻScreams ̓ started as three improvisational comics I did when feeling really depressed, anxious and felt like my youth was slipping away — my quarter-life crisis,” Belsi-to said. “Iʼm not someone who writes for an audi-ence. I want them to be readable, yes, but I make comics Iʼd want to read, so someone who played

too much Pokémon as a kid or is on the Internet too much, I guess. The three shorts are funny, sad and weird.”

The narrative fl ow is skillfully executed through fast action from event to event, which per-haps offsets the “weird-ness” of the narrative and makes the audience ques-tion what the value of in-nocence truly is.

The subject matter re-minds readers how eas-ily childhood play and goodness can be thrown to the wind when the tri-als of life become too unmanageable in the adult world. It also dem-

onstrates the essence of what makes life positive among universal negative life events.

The quick-sketch style of the drawings reinforces themes of youthful pace and mimic the erratic ups and downs of maturation. Belsito masterfully draws the eye across the page with his compositions, which makes the comic a quick and engaging read.

He will be at Denver s̓ second Comic Convention this May and June, where he plans to debut his new work entitled ʻBAS-TARD! ̓ a story about politics, love and halluci-nations in a small town.

Dancers invade audience space in IntimaciesOdil [email protected]

Over the weekend, the School of Theater Arts and Dance presented its annual spring concert “In-timacies,” the perfect title for a show with choreog-raphy demanding dancers fi ll every pocket of space at Norton Theatre with the expressive energy emanat-ing from their bodies.

The close proxim-ity of the dancer s̓ bodies to the 95 people packed into the small space made for a unique audience experience.

“This was such a unique show because we connect with the audience in such a close setting,” said Mat-thew Meyer, and a junior acting major performing in the dance “Emerge.” “I feel like we are pulling the audience into becoming literally part of the perfor-mance and see it in many different angles.”

The performance was

divided into eight dances and one semi-skit scene that fi lled time while per-formers were preparing backstage. “Here We Are” was the opener, accompa-nied by “Hymn” by Moby. All the artists danced this piece. It represented the birth of love, unity and cooperation. The dancers walked and held hands, embracing one another and forming an expansive circle.

“My parents and I havenʼt seen much dance performances (sic) and this is one that we enjoyed very much,” said Alex Hanna, the assistant stage manager and a sophomore in theater performance.

All pieces varied in style and rhythm. The members danced to ev-erything from tango to a mix of Afro beats to jazz tunes.

“There was a differ-ent set of stories in all the pieces performed, and I really liked the last dance

ʻHood ̓because the danc-ing was so interesting and fun to watch,” said Heather Winzent, a junior theater and African Stud-ies major. “I think that it was also the most up-beat as well.”

Andrew Cassel, Megan Carroll, Jake Elvig, Jenna Goebring, Kevin Kantor, Sara Kowalksi, Michael Ochoa, Niel Olson, Ra-chel Richards and Au-drey Sullivan all danced in “Hood.” Dancers wore jungle-themed costumes and moved in ways remi-niscent of Native Ameri-can clan dances made in honor of Mother Earth.

“All pieces have a unique touch and mes-sage for the audience,” said Olivia Beyette, a senior psychology ma-jor. “The performers not only expressed through their dance moves but also through their facial expressions, breathing rhythms, undertones of the meaning of the act.”

UNCʼs softball team suffered a setback in con-ference play at home this weekend as it was swept by Idaho State in a three-game series, continuing a seven-game Big Sky Con-ference losing streak.

On Saturday, the Ben-gals won both games of a doubleheader, 9-5 in nine innings and 15-4. Sun-dayʼs game ended 14-8 in ISUʼs favor.

The fi nal game of the series didnʼt start the way the University of North-ern Colorado had hoped as it turned to junior relief pitcher Megan Wilkinson after sophomore pitcher Kelci Cheney struggled, giving up fi ve runs and re-cording just one out. The inning was punctuated by home runs off Cheney from Idaho Stateʼs fi rst baseman Terah Black-well and shortstop Hailey Breakwell.

Wilkinson said, as a re-lief pitcher, she is gener-

ally prepared to step into the circle at any point her team might need her.

“Iʼve always been a re-lief pitcher,” she said. “Iʼm always ready to come in, and I always want to shut down whateverʼs happen-ing right when I come in. I think our defense did a good job of backing me up and making plays when I gave them good ground-balls.”

The Bears responded in their half of the inning with a three-run bomb by sophomore catcher Tiana-lia Faʼasua, who said her focus at the plate was on what she could do to help her team.

“I was just thinking about my teammates,” she said. “(Weʼre) kind of like sisters, always working together. We lose together, we win together.”

Though Wilkinson sti-fl ed the Bengals ̓ rally in the fi rst frame, they were able to score three runs off her in the second inning as Blackwell sent another ball out of the yard. ISU

catcher Vicky Galasso also homered in the fourth and sixth innings. Galasso and Blackwell, the third and fourth hitters in the Bengal lineup, each fi n-ished with fi ve RBIs on the day.

UNC began the series with a four-run fi rst inning in Saturday afternoonʼs fi rst game. Unfortunately for the Bears, Idaho State was able to tie the game by the end of the seventh inning. The Bengals then plated four runs in the ninth, earning the victory when they held the Bears scoreless in the bottom half of the frame.

The second half of the double dip lacked such drama as Idaho State jumped out to a 10-2 lead by the fourth inning. ISU senior pitcher Amanda Fitzsimmons earned the win and blasted two home runs in her clubʼs 15-4 victory in six innings.

UNC head coach Shana Easley said she was happy with her team s̓ offensive output but the team must

put a whole game together.“Iʼve been relatively

pleased with how weʼve done offensively this weekend and (Sunday) we did a good job,” she said. “Where we fell short was just being able to contain their runs and really al-lowing ourselves to com-pete in the game. Weʼve got to keep the ball in the park and contain their best hitters.”

Wilkinson said fi rst-base coach Patrick Kies

implored the team to lighten its mental load and play loose.

“Coach Kies made a good point (Sunday) — he said we just need to play like we have nothing to lose and at this point we really (do),” she said. “I think thatʼs a really impor-tant mentality to have for the rest of the year.”

The Bears ̓ next con-test is 5 p.m. Wednesday against Colorado State at Butler-Hancock Field.

Softball swept by Idaho State in weekend series

Ben Stivers | The MirrorUNC infi elder Mikayla Buddy swings at a low pitch during the Bears’ Saturday doubleheader against Idaho State.

game hitting streak after going 1-for-4 Sunday with an RBI. The Bears ended with 12 hits to North Dakotaʼs 24.

“We hit the crap out of the ball at times, so we felt like we were pretty much in the whole game, and we tried to battle through every inning,” senior third baseman and pitcher Brooks Schneider said. “We were down four (after the fourth inning), so we thought we could get right back in the game. The wind wasnʼt out of our sails yet, but we didnʼt get the quality at-bat like we wanted and obvious-ly got punished in the ninth.”

Schneider started the game at third and went 3-for-4 at the plate. He was the eighth and fi -nal Bear to step on the mound in the game — and the third of the ninth inning. On the mound, Schneider allowed fi ve hits and three earned runs, which added to the 12 total runs given up in the ninth alone.

In total, the pitching staff al-lowed 12 walks, 23 runs and 24 hits. Junior Nick Miller began the day on the mound and re-ceived the loss after giving up eight runs over the span of 3 2/3 innings.

“Yes, it was a successful se-ries, but itʼs how you fi nish,”

UNC head coach Carl Iwasaki said. “Weʼre going to see these guys again defi nitely in the postseason, so we need to have a short-term memory. Were we prepared to play today, physi-cally and mentally? I think so. We had a big inning that got away from us, and Nick Miller didnʼt have his best stuff today, so then the second breakdown in the ninth didnʼt help.”

There was also controversy in the game when North Da-kota catcher Tyler Peterson ran through Bears ̓ junior catcher Andrew Coffman. UNC sopho-more infi elder Ryan Yamane confronted the opposing catcher

at his next at-bat. In response, Yamane was thrown out of the game. Despite the umpire try-ing to make right with Iwasaki, Iwasaki said it was too little, too late.

“The umpire apologized to me but it wasnʼt good enough for me,” Iwasaki said. “It wasnʼt good enough for my player, and it wasnʼt good enough for my shortstop, and Ryan just showed that he had his catcherʼs back.”

The Bears face Air Force at 3 p.m. Tuesday in Colorado Springs before returning home for a weekend series when they host the New Jersey Institute of Technology.

Softball coach brings fresh enthusiasm to BearsRachel [email protected]

Just one month into the

school year, the UNC soft-ball team was suddenly left without a head coach.

Former head softball coach Mark Montgomery and an assistant coach re-signed from their positions in September and took the

same positions at Louisiana Tech University.

The University of Northern Colorado had to act fast in order to obtain a new coach, and in Octo-ber, Loveland-native Shana Easley took the position and brought along assistant softball coach Patrick Kies.

“I was really excited about it,” Easley said.

“This is where Iʼm from, so it was a wonder-ful transition for me, and I was lucky enough – even though the timing for of it might not have been ideal – I was lucky that this team is just a solid

team. I just feel really blessed, and we were able to really hit the ground running and not have to deal with too many nega-tives at all, so it was exciting.”

Easley was hired as the teamʼs fourth

head coach in program his-tory. She coached at the University of Missouri—Kansas City for fi ve years before coming to UNC. Ea-sley brought along her own playing experience from the University of Arkansas as a four-year starting catcher.

“Softball is obviously something that Iʼm very passionate about, thatʼs

important to me, and also Colorado is something that Iʼm really passionate about, and I love being home, and thereʼs no place else I would rather be,” Easley said. “Combining those two was the best of both worlds for me.”

The women s̓ tennis team won both its Big Sky match-es this weekend, defeating Idaho State Friday and We-ber State Sunday, winning 10 of a possible 14 points between the two competi-tions. With the victory Fri-day, UNC clinched a spot in the Big Sky Conference Championship tournament.

The University of North-ern Colorado began the weekend with a 6-1 win against Idaho State in Po-catello, Idaho. The Bears took all the single points aside from the No. 1 match as ISUʼs Marian Tangarife beat UNC senior Jennifer Buchanan in straight sets.

The rest of the team did more than enough to earn the victory, though. Junior No. 2 Elizabeth Tapia defeated

Kasey Bacon of Idaho State in straight sets, and the rest of the squad dropped just a combined two sets, includ-ing doubles play.

Sunday s̓ match was more hotly contested as UNC best-ed Weber State 4-3 in Ogden, Utah. This time, the Bears showed off the depth they possess as a group.

Both Buchanan and Tapia were defeated, but the other four UNC players took three of their individual match-es, tying the score at three matches per side. The Bears were able to win two of the three doubles matches to earn the extra point and the overall victory.

UNC will take on Colo-rado State at 2:30 p.m. Tuesday for senior day. The Big Sky Championship tournament will be held April 26-28 in Sacramento, Calif.

Family important to Bears senior pitcher

Rachel [email protected]

As a man molded large-ly by family ties and hard work, senior baseball player Brooks Schneider s̓ deci-sion to come to UNC was facilitated — at least in part — by proximity to home.

Coming from Longmont, Schneider is both a third baseman and pitcher for the University of Northern Col-orado baseball team, and it s̓ clear he s̓ never overlooked how important it can be to be close to loved ones.

“Being really close to home was a huge factor for

me — I love my family to death,” Schneider said.

One family member he

considers himself very close with is his younger sister Haley, who is a freshman on the Bears ̓swimming and diving team.

“As far as athletics goes, weʼre our biggest fans — she doesnʼt miss a lot of my games and I try to make ev-erything I can for her,” said Brooks, a sport and exercise science major. “(Weʼre) al-ways there to pick each oth-er up after rough days and things like that.”

One of the roles of an older brother is to be a leader to younger siblings, and Haley said she has always had that in Brooks.

“I think he sets a really good exam-ple for me,” Haley said. “He has such a good work eth-ic, and he s̓ such a good person — he s̓ so humble and there s̓ no one I look up to more than I look up to him. We support each other in every way possible, and we can go to each other about anything.”

Brooks said he tries to set a good example for his sis-ter and his teammates have noticed how he tries to do the same for the team.

“He s̓ a great teammate,” senior fi rst baseman Ben Packard said. “He s̓ support-ive of anyone who s̓ playing on the fi eld or hitting, and you always know he s̓ go-ing to have your back.”

Brooks has seven RBIs and two home runs this sea-son, to go along with 11 hits, fi ve runs and a .239 batting average.

Senior outfi elder Dylan Banach sees him as one of the hardest-working play-ers on the team.

“The kid puts his nose in front of everything — any

groundball com-ing his way, heʼs going to stick his nose in front of it,” Banach said. “He works hard, and he gets after it every day at practice, so thatʼs all you can ask from him as a teammate.”

Brooks ̓motivation be-hind playing baseball is that he fell in love with the sport when he was 3-years-old. In the seven weeks Brooks has left on the team, head coach Carl Iwasaki said he is hoping for Brooks to keep improv-ing his game for the rest of the season.

“Everyone has a dif-ferent role — his role is to execute and to play the game and just play that third base,” Iwasaki said. “All I need him to do is play baseball and to ex-ecute.”

and have scored 171 runs so far in Easleyʼs fi rst sea-son. The transition into Big Sky softball has been somewhat diffi cult, but the team remains deter-mined to do well, a mind-set that largely comes from Easley.

Senior outfi elder Lind-sey Smith said she feels bringing in Easley as the new head coach was the

perfect match for the team. “She still has confi dence

in us to do really well in conference, and I think weʼre still going to meet our goal in going to the Big Sky tournament and win-ning,” Smith said. “I think we can still win it.”

Junior pitcher Megan Wilkinson was recruited by Easley to attend the UMKC, but she chose to be a Bear instead. The two met again when Ea-sley was hired by UNC,

and Wilkinson said Easley brings a positive attitude to the team.

“You have to have a passion for the game play-ing at this level, and if you donʼt youʼre just going to get trampled, and I really think that her passion—and our passion—has helped us grow and thrive as a team this year,” Wilkinson said. “We havenʼt done as well as weʼve wanted to but weʼre learning a lot, and thatʼs part of the process.”

Wilkinson also said she is happy with how Easley has led the team and what her coaching will bring to the team for the rest of the season.

“I think that as long as she keeps doing what sheʼs doing and just leading us and giving us positive atti-tude, encouraging us to do well and really making sure that when we do something wrong, we know what it is and we know how to fi x it,” she said.

Around these parts, the name “Monfort” is synon-ymous with cattle, wealth and baseball, but the over-riding theme to all those topics is business.

After all, UNCʼs busi-ness school has been named in honor of the late Kenny Monfort. But the ties to the university do not end with the business schoolʼs namesake.

Dick, one of Kennyʼs sons, is now the Monfort mainstay in the Greeley area. He took over his fa-therʼs meatpacking opera-tions but eventually left the cattle industry and is now a majority owner of the Colorado Rockies baseball club along with his brother, Charlie. Despite consid-erable hands-on involve-ment with the organization and other investments, the 1976 University of North-ern Colorado alumnus still makes time to chair the Board of Trustees at his alma mater.

“You fi nd time to get it

all done, and if you canʼt get it all done, you start getting rid of stuff,” he said simply.

Understanding the school and the community and a focus on completing tasks as effectively as pos-sible are two useful attri-butes for a board member, especially the chairperson. Trustee Dee St. Cyr said she sees those qualities represented in Monfort.

“We rely on him for the history of where UNC was to where it is now, to where we want it to be. So he adds that very valuable piece,” she said. “He also runs the board like a business. I ap-

preciate that about Dick Monfort, and he is passion-ate. He is really committed to UNC. Heʼs exceptional in that even when the (Rockies) season starts, he never misses meetings.”

Monfort said he sees his role on the board as one of piecing together a vision of the direction he wants the university to venture and of creating policy that refl ects that course. Mon-fortʼs vision for the uni-versity relies on a constant stream of fresh ideas and a commitment to improving the quality of education at the University of Northern Colorado.

“We need to continue to improve our quality and image,” he said. “We need to be at the cutting edge of new technology or new training or new education standards so we can do a better job than weʼve done in the past. A lot of, not only universities, but businesses get stale, and they donʼt continue to move. Youʼve got to continue to challenge people to change.”

As UNC tries to keep up

with higher-visibility in-state schools like the Uni-versity of Colorado and Colorado State University, Monfortʼs efforts to keep the Rockies competitive and growing as a mid-mar-ket team – with hopes of outlasting the likes of the high-rolling Dodgers in the National League West — proves useful. He says the focus must be on creat-ing strengths with what is available. For the Rock-ies, that is mostly batting; for UNC, that is often done through individual schools.

“Within that signifi cant amount of money, you just have to be smarter,” he said. “You have to get more with what you spend. Youʼve got to do more with less. There is a little bit of a crossover. At the Rock-ies, weʼre trying to build our brand; Iʼd like to say at UNC weʼre trying to do the same thing — weʼre try-ing to grow our visibility, whether itʼs through dif-ferent schools, athletics or performing arts.”

As trusteeship is not a

paying job, all members have signifi cant responsi-bilities outside of the board, perhaps none greater than Monfortʼs responsibilities with his ballclub.

First-year board mem-ber Sue Carparelli said she believes Monfortʼs style of leadership is well-suited for the busy group.

“He has a very facilita-tive style of leadership, so I think that lends itself well to making sure that all voices are heard and people have the opportu-nity to express themselves and that really is an impor-tant aspect of his job as our chair,” she said.

Considering his famil-iarity with the university and the Greeley commu-nity, Monfort recognizes that there is a disconnect between the two, but he said he believes bridges are being built despite the common student complaint of a lack of weekend buzz.

“If the students stayed around, the businesses would probably grow and thereʼd be more activities over the weekend,” he said.

“If there were more activi-ties over the weekend, the kids would probably stay. Itʼs been a problem forev-er, but I do see a tighter tie with the city and UNC, so hopefully thatʼll continue to grow.”

Finally, Monfort said his UNC education aided him in the business world and offered some advice to students who may believe theyʼll be stuck in a box once they graduate.

“Education is half inside the schoolrooms and half outside. UNC taught me to be an entrepreneur. It taught me how to deal with issues, how to make decisions,” he said. “No matter where you land, youʼre not destined to be there all your life. If you take that defeatist attitude, thatʼs bad. I believe that itʼs all within that person. If you land somewhere and you do the very best you can and you work your tail off and you take the extra step, youʼll be found.”

Given his business own-ership in various indus-tries, Monfort knows about mobile careers fi rsthand.

University of Northern Colo-rado junior, Alex-ander Heit passed unexpectedly and tragically on April 3, 2013 in a car ac-cident.

After graduating from Fairview High School in Boulder with honors in 2009, he did a year and a half at Western Washington University in a pre-med track before enrolling at the Uni-versity of Northern Colorado. Alex found a fi t with UNC’s audiology program. His in-terest in the science of hearing and balance was spurred by his grandfather’s struggles with hearing loss.

Alex was looking for an opportunity to use his knowledge in the sciences — to help people.

Alex’s professional aspirations were just an extension of his personality, according to his family.

“He was kind to people and all living things,” his mother Sharon said. “He really longed for a more just world.”

He grew up in Boulder, CO with an affi nity for being in the mountains. Alex

loved being with his family and friends, snowboarding in the winter and hiking in the summer. He was recognizable around campus for his very tall, thin physique and calm, gentle presence.

In honor of Alex’s memory, his family asks that you please do something kind for a stranger who needs help, as Alex always wished for a world where people were kinder to each other. There will be a memorial wildlife rebuild project planned in Alex’s honor. To volunteer or donate, please contact [email protected]. When the details are fi nalized, you’ll be alerted by email.

Alex was texting and driving when his SUV went off the road. His story and the text in progress that was written simultane-ously to the accident have traveled around the world in media coverage. Alex’s story told on the BBC, Today Show, Yahoo! and hundreds of global news sites has created an overwhelming response from people re-thinking their habits of being on the phone while driving.

While the cost was far too high to pay, Alex continues to have an impact on mak-ing the world a better place.

Katrina Rodriguez, UNC s̓ assistant vice presi-dent for Student Engage-ment and the Dean of Stu-dents, was recently awarded the 2012-13 Wise Woman Award by the American College Person-nel Associa-tion s̓ Standing Committee for Women.

According to its website, the Standing Com-mittee for Wom-en gives the Wise Woman Award to a recipient “based on the history of her contributions towards wom-en in student affairs and on her efforts to promote the professional and personal

development of women.”Rodriguez holds a Ph.D.

in Higher Education and Student Affairs Leader-ship from the University of Northern Colorado and has been serving the university since 1998, holding posi-

tions as coordina-tor and assistant director of Resi-dence Life and director of the Stryker Institute for Leadership D e v e l o p m e n t before moving to her current posi-tion in August 2011.

“It is such an honor to receive the award,” Rodriguez said. “I feel ex-tremely humbled about it.”

Chris Linder, a professor at the University of Georgia and former doctoral student

of Rodriguez nominated her for the award, along with several other contributors. She received the award at the 2013 ACPA Convention in Las Vegas, which took place March 4-7. Rodriguez was honored by the com-mittee alongside three other women, who received other awards for their respective contributions to higher edu-

cation and the committee.“What is so powerful is

being nominated by people who feel like you are doing work they respect,” Rodri-guez said. “I hope I live up to that respect — that is my desire.”

She hopes to provide stu-dents and staff with an ele-ment of support that fuels success in the education and

real world scenes, as well as encourage the recognition of good work and paying it forward at UNC.

“I like watching people

get excited about what they are doing,” Rodriguez said. “I love seeing the faculty I work with help students reach their goals.”
