Student Senate changes—good ideas that miss the markThoughts from the editorial staff of The MirrorReflects

The Mirror Reflections are the opinion of The Mirror’s editorial board : Alexander Armani-Munn, Steven Josephson, Michael Nowels, and Ben Stivers. Email letters to the editor to [email protected].

[email protected]

Three years ago, a for-

ward thinking and enthu-

siastic senate proposed a

ballot initiative to restruc-

ture the Student Senate at

the University of Northern

&RORUDGR��,Q�WKHLU�ÀUVW�UH-structuring meeting of the

semester two weeks ago,

the current senate exhib-

ited the strain that comes

from inheriting such a de-

manding task.

It appears there is still

some confusion amidst

current members as to the

exact nature of restructur-

ing, which is discourag-

ing considering the slow

progress of the restructur-

ing process.

In my coverage of the

restructuring process, and

in various conversations

with former and current

senate members, I have

come to understand that

a driving force behind

the restructuring process

is the desire to increase

student engagement with

the senate. Certainly, stu-

dent involvement in cam-

pus politics has been all

but nonexistent in recent

years.

Last spring, the senate

hosted an open forum to

introduce candidates for

senate positions to the

student body. The open

forums gave students the

opportunity to listen to

two-minute statements of

intent from each candidate

and then to pose questions

to the candidates. No stu-

dents other than those run-

QLQJ� IRU� RIÀFH� DWWHQGHG�the event.

The poor attendance at

the candidate open forum

last spring was another in-

delible indicator of paltry

student involvement at the

university. The previous

two senate elections drew

turnouts of under 600 vot-

ers…at a university of

over 10,000 undergradu-

ate students.

The senate is right in

adapting to the changing

landscape of the univer-

sity and in seeking new

ways to serve and engage

the student body. Further-

more, their determination

WR� ÀQDOO\� FRPSOHWH� WKLV�daunting task is com-

mendable. Still, I struggle

to believe that the new

structure is an adequate

solution to the lack of

interaction between stu-

dents and the senate.

Essentially, the new

senate structure will trim

fat, make senate more ef-

ÀFLHQW� DQG� UHPHG\� WKH�overlap in duties for cabi-

net members. These im-

provements are a neces-

sary change for the senate

and will likely pan out as

expected. However, there

is nothing to guarantee

that the new structure will

draw more students to en-

gage with senate.

Last year, four of the

nine elected senate posi-

tions were determined in

races with a single candi-

date. Under the new struc-

ture, the elected positions

on senate will increase

requiring more students to

run in elections.

It is unclear how the

senate hopes to draw

more students to cam-

paign; however, they have

discussed increased mar-

keting and advertising,

something that has been

lacking in the past.

The success of re-

structuring relies heavily

on the upcoming spring

elections. Another elec-

tion with a turnout below

600 and races that lack

adequate candidates will

doom the restructuring

process that three senates

have worked hard to com-

plete.

It will be up to the sen-

ate to thoroughly market

spring elections and to

identify quality candi-

dates. It will be up to the

VWXGHQWV��WR�ÀQDOO\�WDNH�DQ�interest in their own repre-

sentation.

Friday Fest finishes last event of 2013 with high hopesSta! [email protected]

Friday marked the last Friday Fest of

the year. And for those that were there,

there was plenty to do at 9th Street Plaza.

This Friday Fest featured the theme

“My Favorite Bands,” with Front Range

bands performing musical covers of their

favorite bands.

The New Ben Franklins performed

Waylon Jennings; Craig Cornet and the

Phast and the Wreck less covered Cat Ste-

YHQV�� DQG� WKH�)HPERWV�ÀQLVKHG� WKH�QLJKW�out as Heart.

lieves that Friday Fest has been great for

“Actually, it has really energized down-

town,” Bricker said. “Everybody knows

this where you can come on Friday nights

and have a good time... It’s a pretty cool

vibe down here, see all the kids, people

bring the kids down, dancing in the

streets, it just doesn’t get any better. And

so we’re pretty excited about what it’s

done and really energized our businesses

who all have had record sales this year on

Friday nights.”

Bricker says that next year’s fests could

expand beyond the 9th Street Plaza.

“We already have two more restaurants

coming on board so we actually have the

ability to stretch go-cup over to the next

plaza as soon as we have liquor license

holders over there. We can have maybe

even another night we do it over on that

plaza.”

Bricker hopes that as more restaurants

move downtown, retail stores will follow

and bring patrons downtown throughout

the week.

The Dugout, a long-standing bar and grill just south of campus on 11th Avenue, is under new own-ership. Jeff Gentry, Patrick Thompson and Jeff Wol-WHQPDWK� RIÀFLDOO\� ERXJKW�the Dugout in August.

Gentry, a CSU graduate, said he dreamed of owning a bar since he was 19 years old.

He met Thompson, a UNC alumnus who now works with the Dallas Cowboys, and Wolten-math, also a UNC gradu-ate, two decades ago through their mutual love of sports.

When Gentry discov-ered their old hangout was for sale, the three jumped

at the opportunity.According to Gentry,

the Dugout was once a ma-jor hangout for UNC stu-dents.

“All of us had too much fun here,” Gentry said. Students would go back and forth from the Dugout to other bars and parties. No matter what, he said, everyone ended up there.

Though much time has passed since the new own-ers’ partying days, they plan to keep the memories alive.

The Dugout used to be a fun place to come and watch sports, Gentry said. He and his partners want to recreate an environment for college students and sports lovers alike to relax and have fun.

“This is not just a party

here, it’s a business and we take care of people who walk through the door,” Gentry said. The Dugout stands out among other similar establishments by obtaining quality food for their customers, regardless of the cost.

The new owners are also working to improve the bar by updating the building. They installed hardwood ÁRRUV�DQG�WRRN�RXW�WKH�FHLO-ing over the bar to create a vaulted ceiling.

They plan to repaint, update the bathrooms and change the lighting, among other cosmetic upgrades. Gentry said they hope to be ÀQLVKHG�E\�'HFHPEHU��

Robbi Johnson, the bar’s former owner, has been at the Dugout since it opened in 1986.

Johnson said the new owners have done well im-proving the bar and grill, as well as gearing it toward the younger crowd.

The Dugout’s grand opening weekend coin-

cides with UNC’s home-coming on Sept. 27th, 28th and 29th. On Saturday, Sept. 28th, the Dugout will open at 9 a.m. for drink and breakfast specials.

There will be shuttles to

take customers to Notting-ham Field for UNC’s foot-ball game, as well.

The new owners say they plan to bring back an old Dugout tradition start-ing Oct. 8th: Fat Tuesdays.

Stanford professor John Willinsky believes that re-search should be available and accessible to everyone.

“It is a human right to know what is known,” Willinsky said during his lecture titled “The Pub-lic Good of Research and Scholarship: The Long View from Medieval Mon-astery to Modern Universi-ty,” at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday at the University Center.

Willinsky, a profes-sor of education at Stan-ford University, discussed a concept he called “The Problem,” which refers to the public’s limited access to scholarly research. He wanted to inform his listen-ers of this problem so that

students can help shape the future, and allow research to become more readily available. He described the evolution of universities, explained the open ac-cess movement, intellec-tual property and the social contract.

Willinsky explained that university students have an immense amount of re-VHDUFK� ÀQGLQJV� DYDLODEOH�that soon becomes strictly limited after they graduate.

Only 20 percent of re-search is accessible for the public.

“Why shouldn’t research be free?” Willinsky asked.

Willinsky said he be-lieves that the world de-serves to know new in-formation, and that new discoveries should be shared amongst everyone.

“I owe the public a copy,” Willinsky said.

He informed his audi-ence, that if research were free, it would serve for the good of society, because the population could con-tinue learning even after they graduate from college.

To further help viewers understand his reasoning, Willinsky described the evolution of universities, starting with the develop-ment of monasteries. With-in a monastery, the monks were devoted to learning, sharing absolutely every-thing with one another.

Willinsky compared universities to monasteries because both organizations were dedicated to the pur-suit of knowledge, with the primary difference being WKDW� WKHUH�ZDV� QR� SURÀW� LQ�

monasteries. When a new health re-

search article is published, it is regulated and sup-ported by The National In-stitutes of Health. The NIH has a public access policy that requires research to be released within a year of publication.

According to Willinsky, other research documents are generally not avail-able for outside viewing for at least 12 months. He mentioned that President Barack Obama’s admin-istration is committed to making publicly-funded research available in less than 12 months.

:LOOLQVN\�ÀQGV�WKLV�WR�EH�wonderful news. It could potentially mean quicker public access to cures, health discoveries and oth-

er valuable information. Willinsky believes that a

driving force behind mak-ing more research public, is the public.

He says that people need to start expecting that re-search should be freely available to them. He sug-gested that when more people who start to expect free research, publicly ac-cessible information will LQFUHDVH�� ,Q� ÀYH� \HDUV��Willinsky hopes that the percentage of available re-search could increase from 20 percent to 99.9 percent.

Many students enjoyed Willensky’s lecture, and appreciated his references to various schools around the country.

“I liked how Willinsky brought up key points on what our money is used

for in the libraries and in the magazines,” said sophomore general studies major Brett Baldwin. “He gave examples of James Michener and related it to other schools, mainly Stan-ford,”

Although many students found the speech to be fas-cinating and agreed with Willinsky, some found his words to be controversial. Some worried what might happen if people start abus-ing their access to free re-search.

“People should have the right to access free re-search, but at the same time, I would not want peo-ple to use that research for the wrong reasons,” said freshman athletic training major Lilly Roybal.

Professors from page 1

The study included wages of all full-

time staff whose primary role is instruc-

tion: 72 percent of all higher education

employees in the 1,204 institutions sur-

YH\HG�� 7R� VXP� XS� WKH� VWXG\·V� ÀQGLQJV� for UNC, they chose three words that

might not capture the severity of the situ-

ation: “Far below median.”

Patricia Jolly, an associate professor of

DQWKURSRORJ\�DW�81&��VDLG�VKH�GLG�QRW�ÀQG�the results of the study surprising.

“I think that the way of valuing educa-

tion has changed a lot, so that if one were

to believe that compensation is a way of

valuing education, then it’s not valued at

all,” Jolly said. “The lack of payment does

send a message of not being valuable. I do

understand that perspective.”

Jolly, a UNC alumnus, said that the uni-

versity’s low wages are a problem that is

not necessarily being addressed. A social

stigma is attached to the title “professor”

-one of wealth and stability.

“I think that the perception is that pro-

fessors live in ivory towers and we must

all be doing really well,” Jolly said. “I get

hit up for donations all the time, and up un-

til two years ago, my family would have

TXDOLÀHG� IRU�0HGLFDLG� RU� IRRG� VWDPSV� DW�different times.

“To be a professor of an institution,

and I was a single mom of three kids and

I was an adjunct, I was perceived as, ‘Oh,

will you come to our fundraiser? Tables

are $150 for a seat,’ and I’m like, ‘Yeah, I

made 18,000 this year or 25,000 this year

and worked two jobs to have it,’” she said.

Those social perceptions, Jolly said,

need to change. “I think it’s a hard dia-

logue to have, because I think if people

knew how bad the wages were, I believe

WKDW�WKHUH�ZRXOG�EH�D�ORW�PRUH�DFWLRQ�WR�À[�that,” she said. “I think that there does need

to be awareness to this because we’re not

going to change it from inside. It’s going to

have to be something that people get aghast

about, which means that we have to deal

with social perceptions of elitism.”

Another misconception about the value

of professors is the idea that their only work

is three or four hours of class time and an

“The world load is very similar to you

guys as students,” said Jolly. “As students,

for every class credit, it’s times three. If

you’re taking 12 credits, you’re looking at

36 hours of being a student. I would say

that it’s a little higher for a professor, with

WKH�SUHS�WLPH�DQG�WKH�JUDGLQJ�WLPH��RIÀFH�hours and all that, so (teaching four class-

es) is very easily over 40 hours.”

ing and a research component. Jolly said

WKLV�VHPHVWHU�VKH�LV�WHDFKLQJ�RQH�H[WUD�FODVV�and working a minimum of 45 hours every

week.

“When you start looking at the fact

that someone like me is regularly working

overtime, but making a salary that is less

than entry level teaching, that’s hard to jus-

tify and I can see why it would get a lot of

people down.”

Feeling underpaid does not motivate

employees to stay in an institution. “I have

watched brilliant people that would be such

an asset to this university come and go,”

Jolly said. “I’m an alum from here and so

my commitment to UNC is much greater

than my career, and so I have other intrinsic

pieces of value. But I think if I were shop-

ping around and if this were about build-

ing a career and a more standard academic

trajectory, no way, no way would I stay.”

The university keeps public records of

RI�0LFKHQHU�/LEUDU\�As shown on those records, not only

are professors paid very little at UNC—

the base salary for an associate professor

in Jolly’s department is just $35,000 per

year—administrative position salaries are

disproportionately high, the majority of

6L[WK� \HDU� UHFUHDWLRQ�� WRXULVP� DQG�hospitality major Sarah Silvers said she

thought administrative salaries are too high

compared to professors.

“(Professors are) teaching our future,

they should be getting paid what they de-

serve,” Silvers said. “Administration, yeah,

they put it all together, but our professors

are the ones who actually help us all grow

into what we become.”

Despite the obvious lack of wages, Jolly

said she sees the climate of the university

changing.

ing. I came seven years ago and I just had

this like, ‘Oh my gosh, the morale is hor-

rible, everybody’s bitter, nobody wants to

talk to anyone else cause they’re scared.’”

The change is occurring partly because

way university employees feel valued.

“I think our provost is doing an amazing

and visionary job at bringing morale up,”

Jolly said. “I don’t know that I’ve talked

to anyone who isn’t at least slightly hope-

ful or at best neutral, whereas, in the past,

sometimes in our leadership there’s a lot of

acrimonious (complaining) that goes on.”

-ROO\·V� H[SHULHQFH� ZLWK� WKH� XQLYHUVLW\��despite the low payment, has been a posi-

tive one, she said. “I get paid very, very lit-

WOH��DQG�,�IHHO�YHU\�DIÀUPHG�DQG�VXSSRUWHG�and I feel like my chair does everything

she can to help in every way,” she said. “It

wasn’t in her control how much to pay me,

EXW� LW�ZDV� LQ�KHU�FRQWURO� WR�SURYLGH�RIÀFH�space, to provide support, to keep me as a

part of the team and to help with that.”

Whether or not the university’s efforts

to improve morale are working, the prob-

lem of monetary wages still needs to be

addressed. According to Jolly, part of the

reason it hasn’t yet is the fear of “collective

bargaining,” or unionization.

“70 percent of us are not tenured,” Jolly

said. “If we collectively bargain, we can

put our jobs at risk.”

That fear of starting a conversation per-

petuates the problem. Jolly suggested that

opening the eyes of the public—and espe-

cially the student body—is the most effec-

tive solution.

“If we don’t know what a problem is, we

can’t solve it, so starting a dialogue is re-

ally important,” Jolly said. “Students have

The Student Senate at the University of Northern Colorado is moving closer to completing the process of restructuring this year with hopes of implement-ing new elected positions in time for spring elections.

6HQDWH� PHPEHUV� ÀUVW�proposed restructuring in 2011. The initiative for reconstruction passed a student referendum in the 2011 spring elections and aims to condense the ex-ecutive positions in senate while broadening student representation throughout the university.

Currently, the elected senate positions include

seven student directors, a president and a student trustee.

Non-elected positions on senate include a stu-dent rights advocate and a parliamentarian that also serves as election commis-sioner.

Student Senate Faculty Advisor Evan Welch is re-sponsible for hiring appli-cants for non-elected posi-tions with feedback from senate members.

The two non-elected po-sitions that exist on senate now will remain after re-structuring.

Through restructuring, the senate hopes to elimi-nate non-essential posi-tions, consolidate duties and enhance student repre-

sentation in each college at the university.

The black-clad hotel matron stands behind the desk of a dark hotel and tells the crowd that the town hasn’t been the same since the haunting, a door opens of it’s own accord with a hiss of fog. 7KH� FURZG� VKXIÁHV� RXW� ZLWK� WKH�foreboding words of the matron in their ears:

“The townsfolk won’t be as courteous as I. Do enjoy your stay,” she says. Various people check their ghost radars. There DUH�GHÀQLWHO\�JKRVWV�DURXQG��ZDV�she one?

Saturday night saw the grand opening of the Fritzler Corn Maze and the debut of their latest at-traction: the Interactive Haunted Ghost Hunt, which takes small groups through an old west town DV�WKH\�WU\�WR�ÀQG�JKRVWV�DQG�GHDO�with the unsettling townsfolk who have remained behind.

The haunt was the idea of Josh-ua Stanton and Trevor Fritzler, the co-owners of Colorado-based Ex-treme Custom Makers and long-time workers at the maze, which is owned by Fritzler’s father Glenn.

“My dad came to us and said, ‘Hey, we need something new’

and we were just sitting around talking,” Trevor said. “Josh and I were just sitting there and he goes, ‘Man, what if we had like a ghost radar like Ghost Busters and turned it into an old ghost town?’ and it took off.”

From that idea came six months of planning and building as Trev-or Fritzler and Stanton worked WKURXJK�KRZ�WR�UHFRQÀJXUH�DQ�ROG�indoor maze into a haunted ghost town and designing and program-ming the ghost radars, which vi-brate, light up and help bring new ghostly features to life.

Most of the work was done in-house, with various Fritzler employees contributing their tal-ents to building the design. Trevor Fritzler and Stanton brought the special effects to life, working in a hologram window in the town’s jail, a two-way bar mirror and several other ghostly surprises for would-be specter seekers.

Another vital part of the hunt’s effectiveness is the corps of actors that work throughout the haunted town.

“They’re our elites,” Trevor Fritzler said. “They’re the people who have been here forever. I grew up with them basically.”

Many of the actors have been with the maze over 10 years.

Trevor Fritzler said that they add-ed a few talented newcomers to the group, who are are allowed to improvise with the groups as they go through.

“We pretty much let them ad lib this whole thing,” said Trev-or Fritzler. “...This is your role, make something up and they go do it.”

The hunt’s opening night was not entirely glitch-free. One of the effects vibrated itself unplugged, and the actors are still working on helping patrons experience the full effect of the hunt while get-ting through quickly enough to keep the line moving, but both Trevor Fritzler and Stanton were happy with how things went. The maze had offered a Facebook coupon for free admission to the haunt, and a line of 20-30 people could be seen outside the attrac-tion throughout the night.

Maze owner Glenn Fritzler is pleased with the work that has been put in to improve the attrac-tions at the Maze.

“If we took baby steps the last three, four years, we took 1,000 steps this year,” Glenn Fritzler said.

The improvements are seen both as being as vital to the maze’s success and also to pro-

viding value to the patrons.“Once you’ve walked through

corn, you’ve walked through corn,” Stanton said, emphasizing the need for other attractions.

In addition to the ghost hunt, the maze features several other attractions including a zip line, ropes course, a zombie paintball hunt, a haunted corn maze and several food vendors.

The haunted corn maze and the zombie hunt will open on Friday. Both feature live actors and spe-cial effects to add to the experi-ence.

Glenn Fritzler says that they work hard to make the maze af-

fordable for college students by offering discounted rates on most Wednesdays and Thursdays, in addition to coupons and online incentives.

Trevor Fritzler hopes that UNC students will take the time to head down.

“You guys studying all day long and working in class, go be a kid again,” Trevor Fritzler said. “This is a place to do that.”

The Fritzler Corn Maze is lo-cated two miles south of LaSalle on U.S. Highway 85, more in-formation can be found on their website www.fritzlermaze.com and on their Facebook page.

to determine the optimal structure for UNC. The senate found that the new structure was common at state institutions around the country.

“Each college will have 3 representatives (not in-cluding University Col-lege) that will serve as a part of three committees: Academic Affairs, Student Affairs, or Finance Com-mittee,” Fuller wrote.

The senate is still deter-mining the distribution of respective duties for each committee. The only exec-utive positions intact in the new senate are President, Student Trustee, Director

of Finance, and Director of Student Affairs.

The Student Trustee will continue to serve in the tra-ditional role of liaison be-tween the Board of Trust-ees and the student body. Colorado law requires every public university in the state employ a student trustee to facilitate commu-nication between the stu-dents and the university’s board.

The President, Director of Finance and Director of Student Affairs will each be responsible for chairing a student representative com-mittee. The President will chair the Academic Affairs &RPPLWWHH��WKH�'LUHFWRU�RI�Finance will chair the Fi-

QDQFH� &RPPLWWHH�� DQG� WKH�Director of Student Affairs will chair the Student Af-fairs committee.

Restructuring also re-quired the senate to rewrite its bylaws, an arduous task. Despite the challenges, the senate was able to approve new bylaws last year.

“There is no guide on ‘How To Dismantle and Reassemble University By-laws.’ We simply went in KHDG�ÀUVW�µ�)XOOHU�ZURWH��́ ,W�has been a long and tedious process, but there is no doubt in my mind that we had a group that has done an absolutely phenomenal job and will continue the next step- which is success-ful implementation.”

As the third delegation to usher restructuring, the current senate is under pres-sure to complete a process that began three years ago. The 2011 Student Senate that proposed and approved restructuring hoped the pro-cess would be complete by the spring 2012 elections.

Fuller explained that a lack of adequate prepara-tion in last year’s senate attributed to the delayed completion of restructur-ing.

This semester, a senate led restructuring commit-tee is meeting every other Wednesday, alternating with regular senate ses-sions.

The Restructuring Com-

mittee meets in the Coun-cil Room at the University Center and is open to all students. Students are wel-come to attend restructur-ing meetings to learn more about the process or to con-tribute their input.

As the university contin-ues to grow and change, the student senate must adapt to meet the needs of the stu-dent body it represents.

“The world around Sen-ate has constantly been adapting to the genera-tion, but we have faulted in keeping up,” Fuller wrote.

The senate is consider-ing a new procedure for voting in student elections that will allow students to vote online from their

smartphones, laptops and devices.

Student elections in 2008 and 2009 allowed satellite voting and drew a turnout of 800-900, which is greater than recent elec-tions conducted at a single voting station in the Uni-versity Center.

After implementing the new structure, delegates have their sights set on re-vising the Student Fee Al-location Process.

The senate is also plan-ning to host multiple town hall meetings this semester to discuss the process of restructuring with the stu-dent body and to identify the new opportunities war-ranted by the new structure.

If it wasn’t for an old basketball coach encourag-ing her to play volleyball, Brianna Strong may never have been a part of the UNC volleyball team.

“Because I was so tall, he said, ‘You should play volleyball,’ so I was like, ‘alright, might as well try something,’” the six-foot-two middle blocker said.

Strong, a junior social science major, began play-ing basketball when she was three, and played vol-leyball in the offseason starting in middle school. In high school, Strong said that she grew to like volley-ball more from playing on a club team, but still played both sports at the time, as well as participating in WUDFN�DQG�ÀHOG�RQ�WKH�VLGH�

Strong’s hometown, Mount Vernon, Iowa, is a 12-hour drive from Gree-

ley. So why would Strong come all this way when she was recruited by schools closer to home? Colora-do State, Iowa, Northern Iowa, Bradley University, Kentucky and Arkansas are other schools that re-cruited her, but Strong said the University of Northern Colorado offered her the chance to explore.

“I come from a really small town and a lot of peo-ple stay in town and go to colleges locally, and I just kind of wanted to get out and experience the rest of the country,” Strong said. “I felt like this would be the only opportunity that I could do that.”

Strong redshirted as a IUHVKPDQ�� DQG� KHU�ÀUVW� DS-pearance for UNC was in 2011. Last season, she had 229 kills, 11 solo blocks and 91 block assists last season. Strong already has 115 kills, eight solo blocks and 45 block assists after

12 matches this season.Last weekend Strong

broke her career high in kills twice when she re-corded 15 at Montana State Saturday and 19 vs. Texas A&M Sunday.

Head coach Lyndsey Oates said Strong possesses physical characteristics that are helpful on the court.

“She’s aggressive and she’s very physically gifted with her height, her arm speed and things like that, which volleyball demands,” Oates said. “She uses those talents well.”

Standing almost at eye level right next to Strong on the court is junior middle blocker Andrea Spaustat. Strong and Spaustat spend considerable time together between practice, games and living together.

Spaustat said Strong’s playful personality is an at-tribute she appreciates as a teammate and a roommate.

“She’s one of my best

friends, and she’s just crazy, she’s joking all the time,” Spaustat said.

Strong said she was very active with her family as a child, likely lending itself to continuing on in her ath-letic career with the Bears.

“I love to be outside and we used to go camping and ÀVKLQJ�D�ORW�DQG�WKDW�ZDV�DO-ways a lot of fun,” she said. “I like to stay active, with basketball and just sports, and hang out with friends.”

Strong still has at least one more year at UNC, and as one of the team’s older players, she tries to be an effective leader for the rest of the team and strive for the goals she set for herself and her fellow Bears.

“I just want this team to grow as a whole,” Strong said. “Obviously winning the Big Sky is the priority, but after that, after we reach that goal hopefully, to go to the NCAA, and hopefully ZLQ�WKDW�ÀUVW�URXQG�µ

The Bluejay Invitational at Creighton University in Omaha, Neb. pitted the UNC volleyball team against some of the stiff-est competition it will face all year. For se-nior defensive specialist Merideth Johnson, it was an opportunity to shine as she was named to the all-tournament team.

“It was pretty awesome,” Johnson said. “I wasn’t expecting that at all; it was a huge honor.”

After falling to Creighton on Sept. 6 and California the next day, Johnson and the University of Northern Colorado needed a spark. They got just that. After averaging just over 17 digs per match for the tourna-ment, Johnson led the squad with 20 in a comeback win for the Bears over South Florida.

“We had two really tough losses before that,” she said. “So to come out and win that one was really good for our team.”

Johnson’s roommate, sophomore out-side hitter Kendra Cunningham, said John-son is reliable on the court.

“Her leadership is incredible on de-fensive,” Cunningham said. “She calls

the plays on defense, and if there’s a ball I can’t get to, she’s always there. You can trust her.”

So far this season, Johnson has 219 digs, the most on the team. That’s an average of 5.21 digs per set. Coach Lyndsey Oates said Johnson is a leader and a defensive star in the middle for the Bears.

“From a leadership standpoint, she’s kind of our go-to,” coach began. “She’s the girl on our team who can get after people and push the right buttons. And we need that from her.”

Oates added that the team has plenty of encouraging players, but Johnson’s ability WR� WDNH� XS� D� ODUJH� SRUWLRQ� RI� WKH� ÁRRU� RQ�defense is unique.

“She’s been very consistent, especially in her senior year,” said Oates. “ She made huge strides this spring, and we trust that she has a third to a half of the court covered on any given play.”

For Johnson, the experience of being a collegiate athlete has been priceless. John-son says her teammates make her experi-ence as a Bear even more special.

“It’s one of my favorite college expe-riences,” she said. “I have 11 automatic friends and we are pretty much a family.”

As a senior, there is one

players on the team:

“A lot of the things I’ve

done in the past, don’t.

Don’t make the same mis-

takes.”

UNC soccer went 2-0-1 over the course of last week between a road date at Wy-oming and the Omni Hotels Colorado Women’s Soccer Classic in Boulder.

The University of North-ern Colorado (4-3-2) began play this week with a rare mid-week match at Wyo-ming.

Freshman forward Shan-lie Anderson scored shortly before halftime to give the Bears a 1-0 lead they’d keep WKURXJK�WKH�ÀQDO�ZKLVWOH��,Q�the 42nd minute, Anderson took a cross from fellow freshman forward Kather-ine Day in the left side of the box and deposited it in the net from about 15 yards

out from the goal.UNC soccer’s success

extended into the weekend in the Omni Hotels Colora-do Women’s Soccer Classic in Boulder, as it Nevada-Las Vegas 1-1 Friday night and shut out Stony Brook 1-0 Sunday afternoon.

From that point on, though, UNLV largely dic-tated play. UNC placed just two more shots on goal for the remainder of the game but held strong defen-

sively despite seven shots on frame and eight corner NLFNV� E\� WKH� 5HEHOV�� 7KH�only converted chance for UNLV was Courtney Both-ello’s transition goal in the 37th minute, knotting the game at one.

Sunday’s match was also a closely contested one. Junior defender Ambree Bellin supplied the only goal of the afternoon in the 20th minute for the Bears on a free kick after a foul by Stony Brook (5-3-1). The shutout was goalkeep-HU�1DWDOLH�'·$GDPLR·V�ÀIWK�clean game of the season and her tenth as a Bear.

The team mentality is a big part of who Davis is, according to senior line-backer Clarence Bumpas, who said Davis was more of a brother than friend.

“He’s a real good guy, he’s real sincere,” Bumpas said. “He genuinely cares for other people. There’s not much he wouldn’t do to go out of his own way to help a friend or a family member.”

Inspiration can be from

anywhere. For the UNC

football team, it comes

from a 14-year-old boy.

“You do have to count

your blessings,” senior

linebacker Clarence Bump-

as said. “The kid’s just

a motivation factor. You

think about everything he

has to go through day by

day and no matter how hard

your day goes you’ve got to

understand that it could be

worse.”

Saturday was Live Like

Austin Day, in honor of

Austin Ervin, who suf-

fers from bilateral closed-

lip schizencephaly, which

causes him to suffer from

anywhere from 80-100 sei-

zures a day.

Ervin visited the Uni-

versity of Northern Colo-

rado during spring practice

and was named an honor-

ary member of the football

team. He signed with the

club, got his own locker

and his own Bears jersey.

Friday, Ervin was back

in Greeley and spent the

weekend with the football

team, and stood on the side-

lines during the game. Be-

fore the game when he met

with the marching band,

Kurt Ervin, Austin’s fa-

ther, said Austin was over-

whelmed by the attention.

“He turned to me and

said, ‘I don’t deserve all

this,’” Kurt said.

During a timeout break,

Austin was introduced over

the stadium’s speakers and

he received a standing ova-

tion. Kurt said the support

from the team, the univer-

sity and the city of Greeley

has been great, and to have

a day dedicated to Austin

was a momentous occasion.

“You have mile-markers

in your life, and what UNC

has done for Austin and me

is create a mile-marker in

his life,” Kurt said. “You

always talk about the big

things, do you remember

win, and this is obviously a

day we will remember.”

Keeper D’Adamio anchors defenseDaymeon [email protected]

UNC women’s soccer

has seen its share of wins

and losses throughout the

season so far, but when

they have been successful,

usually senior goalkeeper

Natalie D’Adamio has

shown her unique athletic

ability.

“She worked hard,

learned, got better and she

had a great year (in 2012)

and now is following that

up,” said University of

Northern Colorado head

coach Tim Barrera. “We

want to defend as a team

and with Natalie back there

making the saves she’s sup-

posed to makes the defend-

ers comfortable with their

teammates.”

So far this season the

Bears (4-3-2) have been

able to shut out oppo-

nents in each win, thanks

to strong, consistent play

from D’Adamio. UNC has

been able to rely on its

keeper to communicate ef-

fectively and set up its de-

fense.

“With her directing play

back there, also being a

great shot stopper, her dis-

tribution being good and

she’s vocal, allowing her to

be a really solid player for

us,” Barrera said Thursday.

“We’ve had three shutouts

our last three matches so

we’re on a little bit of a roll

and now we have to keep

rolling from there.”

D’Adamio has been a

Bear for four years now

and has grown throughout

her time here, from sitting

behind all-time saves lead-

er Kirsten Salminen to be-

ing named Big Sky Goal-

keeper of the Year in 2012

and returning this year with

more to prove.

“I’ve grown in many

ways,” she said. “When

I came here I was super

shy, closed off, just shy all

around, but now I’m more

outgoing and as a player

,·P�PRUH�FRQÀGHQW�LQ�P\-

self. I feel two hundred per-

FHQW� PRUH� FRQÀGHQW� WKDQ�,� ZDV� ZKHQ� ,� ÀUVW� FDPH�here just from playing and

learning from different

players. The shutouts feel

really good and I just want

to continue that and stay

positive and keep working

as hard as I can.”

This year, D’Adamio

has saved .831 percent of

the shots she has seen,

grabbing 54 on target in

non-conference play alone

after stopping 82 in 2012.

She said the volume of

shots doesn’t really bother

her, largely due to her atti-

WXGH�RQ�WKH�ÀHOG�“My parents put me in to

soccer, my mom said I nev-

er liked it but they force me

to play and it’s great that

they stuck me in it. I got

my attitude from my mom,

VKH�LV�SUHWW\�ÀHU\�µ�VDLG�WKH�goalkeeper, “I just take the

shots as they come, I’m not

really counting them but I

guess there has been a little

more action than last year.”

D’Adamio came up big

for UNC last week with two

shutouts in three matches.

She made 19 saves in 20

opportunities as the Bears

enter Big Sky Conference

play Friday when they head

to Portland, Ore. to face

Portland State.

Austin from page 18

“I actually witnessed him have a seizure (Fri-day),” Collins said. “He has them all the time and I hadn’t seen it, and to wit-ness him have one was ab-solutely amazing how he re-acted after that situation. It was about a minute and his dad picked him up out of a meeting, sat him in the hall-way and then he jumped up, like ‘Okay, let’s go.’ That’s part of what it is for us. No matter what’s happening or has happened, you’ve got to move on and keep moving and keep working at it to get it better and that’s what that young man does and that’s what we’ve got to do. He’s a special kid, that’s all I can say, and I’m glad he’s a part of our program.”

Even the players said Austin inspired them, put-ting Saturday’s loss in a

greater perspective.“I came to the sideline

and my head was down, I was really mad because (the University of Northern Iowa) did a four-and-out, and I sit down on the bench and he’s right there next to me and I look at him, and I’m just like, ‘This isn’t even that big of a deal — there are people with much bigger problems,’” fresh-man running back Darius Graham said. “That moti-vates me. That tell me to keep my head up, go out there and give it your all because you never know when it’s going to be your last time playing football.”

Austin’s presence at the game was a reminder for all present not to take things so hard and to appreciate what each and every person has in the present. Most do not have to deal with the prob-lems Austin does, and to

have the reminder present Saturday puts a 1-3 start to the season in perspective.

“For me, at times like this when you’re feeling down and just lost a game, and then you look at little Austin and he’s got so many hardships in his life, you’ve got to remember you’ve

still got to keep a good at-titude about things and be grateful for everything you have,” senior quarterback Tim Tancik said.

Even after a tough loss extending a disappoint-ing start to the season, the Bears reminded themselves to live like Austin.

Bears struggle to find offensive tractionFootball from page 13

that wildcat, we knew, we expected it and we actually practiced for it. It just didn’t work out. There were a couple plays that were mental errors and busts and it gashed us at the end of the day.”

Offensively, the Bears were already ÀJKWLQJ�DQ�XSKLOO�EDWWOH�ZLWKRXW�WKUHH�year starting quarterback Seth Lobato, who suffered a shoulder injury last week at Wyoming. In his stead, senior 7LP�7DQFLN��FRPSOHWHG��RI��SDVV�HV�IRU��\DUGV�

But Tancik was not immune to the blunder bug, throwing two in�terceptions: one while being blasted in the second quarter on a drive that stretched into UNI territory and an�other late in the game.

The second pick had the Bears ÁDVKLQJ� EDFN� WR� WKH� SUHYLRXV� WZR�weeks when they threw two intercep�tions for touchdowns in each game. Deiondre’ Hall jumped in front of a Tancik pass and streaked down the right sideline but was called for un�sportsmanlike conduct as he raised

the ball over his head. The penalty EURXJKW�WKH�EDOO�EDFN�WR�PLGÀHOG��EXW�didn’t save UNC from defeat.

“Not good enough,” Tancik said of his performance. “I’ll never say I had a good enough game when we get a loss. We were moving the ball at times EXW� WKHQ�ZH�ZHUHQ·W�ÀQLVKLQJ�GULYHV��and I had some crucial mistakes.”

Backup quarterbacks are often told to prepare as if they were starting. Tancik said this week was slightly dif�ferent despite his best efforts in the past to do so.

“I pretty much kept the same rou�tine that I’ve always been doing,” he said. “Of course, there’s a little bit of added pressure or whatever but there’s also a lot more support.”

On the ground, the Bears picked up just 75 yards after factoring in nega�tive rushes. Senior running back Tro�maine Dennis went for 71 yards on 15 carries and freshman Darius Graham KDG��\DUGV�RQ��FDUULHV�DQG�WKH�VHF�ond touchdown of his young career.

“Coach put me in there and he said, ‘You’d better get in that endzone.’ I

said, ‘Yes, sir.’ I just grabbed the ball, I just trusted my linemen and my re�ceivers and I just hit it,” he said.

Saturday was named Live Like Austin Day for UNC in honor of Aus�WLQ� (UYLQ�� D� ��\HDU�ROG� \RXQJ� PDQ�from Las Vegas who suffers dozens of seizures each day because of a condi�tion called schizencephaly. He and his father came to visit the Bears on April �� WR� VKDUH� KLV� VWRU\� DQG� KH� TXLFNO\�formed a strong bond with many of the UNC players and coaches.
