Honors students atUNC had the opportunityto take an in-depth look atwhat is required for theirhonors theses through anInstitutional Review Board

workshop Monday.The workshop was led by

Michael Kimball, the directorof Honors, Scholars andLeadership, and was open tostudents completing thesiswork in the UniversityHonors Program.

An honors thesis is an

independent research proj-ect honors students arerequired to complete priorto graduation.

For many, the researchinvolved in an honors thesisrequires the study of livingsubjects, such as animals orhumans. To conductresearch involving live sub-jects, students must receiveIRB approval.

The IRB is present atmost research universitiesthroughout the country. AnIRB generally consists of fac-ulty members and, occasion-ally, well-informed commu-nity members.

IRB members are respon-sible for examining students’proposed research methodsbefore giving it universityapproval.

The IRB recognizesthree types of researchapproval: exempt, expe-

dited and full board. Exempt approvals apply

to research that does not dis-rupt or manipulate partici-pants’ normal experiences orincorporates intrusive proce-dures. Research that qualifiesas “exempt” requiresapproval of a co-chair mem-ber of the IRB and is valid forfour years. The review gener-ally takes two to three weeks.

Expedited research posesa minimal risk to subjects.The probability and magni-tude of harm or discomfortanticipated during theresearch is no greater than inexperiences ordinarilyencountered in daily life orroutine examinations.Expedited review requires theapproval of an IRB memberand IRB co-chair and is validfor one year.

University, organizations help students find financial aidCARMEN BRADY

[email protected]

There is no denying thatgoing to a university is notcheap, particularly withrecent cuts in state funding.However, UNC studentsdon’t have to pay for it com-pletely out of pocket, whichwas the focus of theScholarship Fair Tuesday.

The event was hosted bythe Office of Financial Aid,but that was not the onlyoffice represented at the fair.

All of the colleges at theUniversity of NorthernColorado had booths, as wellas the Women’s ResourceCenter, the Honors Program,the Center for InternationalEducation, the GraduateSchool and the American

Cancer Society.Each booth had informa-

tion on what scholarshipswere available to studentsand a representative toanswer questions.

The Office of Financial Aidhad a booth with informationon the universal scholarshipapplication as well as infor-mation on the FreeApplication for FederalStudent Aid. Both applica-tions provide opportunitiesfor financial aid, but from dif-ferent places.

“The FAFSA is govern-ment support,” said NancyGray, the scholarship directorat the Office of Financial Aid.“That will give you funds suchas loans and grants. The uni-versal scholarship application

is through the university.”Gray said it is important

for students to submit eachapplication by their sharedpriority deadline of March 1.

“The FAFSA requires stu-dents to have tax informationfor themselves and, if they areyounger than 23, their par-ents,” Gray said. “But thesecan be estimates; it’s better togo in and give an estimateand correct it later.”

Loree Crow, the associatedirector for the HonorsProgram, said it was impor-tant to make sure studentsare knowledgeable aboutscholarships as soon as theyenter the university.

“The Center for Honors,Scholars and Leadershipoffers a lot of opportunities,

and it’s best to get involvedas soon as you start goinghere to take full advantageof them,” Crow said. “Ithink that holds true forscholarships in general —the sooner you get them,the more likely you are tokeep getting them.”

Danielle Colwell, thecommunity relationshipmanager with the AmericanCancer Society, said studentsshould be aware of opportu-nities outside of what theschool has to offer, such asthose through the organiza-tion she was representing.

“We provide scholarshipsto cancer survivors, whichisn’t related to academicsexactly,” Colwell said. “Andthere are other opportunities

out there for students.”Gray said students are

welcome to visit the OFA withany questions they haveabout scholarships, the uni-

versal application or FAFSA.“You can make an

appointment or walk in,”Gray said. “We are here tohelp.”

Mirror Reflections are the opinion of The Mirror’s editorial board: Parker Cotton, Ryan Lambert, Sara Van Cleve, Melanie Vasquez and Benjamin Welch. Let us know what you think.E-mail us at [email protected].

The regulation of birth con-trol is a mere etch in the linethat parts Americans and socialamity. The argument lies in themorality of the prevention ofunwanted pregnancies.

Every month, a woman’sbody begins a process thatresults in the maturation of anegg. If a man’s semen reachesa woman’s egg during inter-course, the result is a fertilizedegg inside her uterus.

Contraceptives aredesigned to stop the egg fromever fertilizing, thus control-ling whether a woman

becomes pregnant.Some cry genocide while

others moralize contraceptivesas family planning. Leadingcable news channels in thenation have given particularwind to the debate since Aug.1 of last year, the dayPresident Barack Obama man-dated that health insurancecompanies offer free birthcontrol as part of theAffordable Care Act.

Today, the argument stillboils. Last week CNN, MSNBCand Fox News hosted debateson the topic of contraceptives,

but as much as birth controlaffects women, it was menwho dominated these discus-sions by almost a 2:1 ratio.

According toThinkProgress.org, these topnews broadcasters invited 146guests, 55 of whom werewomen, to discuss contracep-tion. Ninety-one men were fea-tured in the debates concerningbirth control, a system heedingthe bodies of women.

Birth, a woman’s treasure,has not surpassed the grips oftoday’s patriarchy. Rather thanasking for women’s voices, CNN,

MSNBC and Fox News assumedmen would have more tenableopinions about women’s bodies.Women, who would know howdifficult access to birth controlis, how much it costs and whatthe effect of Obama’s mandatewould ensue, were consideredinvalid even when they were thecenter of the topic.

A woman’s opinion on con-traception should be broad-casted in an even environmentin order for voters to under-stand American women’s expe-riences as contraceptive usersor non-contraceptive users.

Women foremost opinion on birth control ease, accessibility

In the United States, weare fortunate to hostmany of the world’s best

athletes in their respectivesports. If you’re one of the bestin the world at baseball or bas-ketball, no matter whereyou’re from, it’s likely that youwill spend some time playingin the U.S. That being said,there are still racial lines thatare drawn within those leaguesand associations.

We all know the stereotypesabout basketball — after all,the NBA is 77 percent black,three percent Latino and onlyone percent Asian, according

to a study by race-sportsauthor Richard Lapchick. Thegame is expanding to all cor-ners of the world, though, andis growing rapidly in Asia,where several players compet-ed during the lockout. The twoAsian players that would havereadily come to mind a coupleweeks ago were Yi Jianlian and,of course, Yao Ming, both tallerthan seven feet.

In steps Jeremy Lin, a 6-foot-3 benchwarming pointguard for the New York Knicks.Filling in for a depleted (andfrankly, under-talented) Knicksbackcourt, Lin has absolutelyshined, averaging 28.3 pointsand 8.3 assists over the last fivegames going into Tuesday, allwins, and four of which hestarted in. However, unlike Yiand Yao, Lin is not an importto the United States. He grew

up near Stanford and attendedHarvard, which is great pedi-gree for a rocket scientist, butis generally quite the oppositewhen searching for someone torun the pick-and-roll.

Some in the basketball com-munity and beyond have madea big deal about Lin’s race,considering Asians are grosslyunder-represented in the NBA.There have been some positiveresponses, from proud Asianpeople and progressives of allskin tones.

Unfortunately there havebeen some negative reactions,as well, most notably fromboxer Floyd Mayweather andFox Sports contributor JasonWhitlock, regarding Lin’s raceas the main cause of his recentmedia attention and popularity.

According to Lin, he experi-enced some of the same senti-

ments from opposing fans andeven players during his time incollege, so this is nothing new.I suppose racism is somewhatcommon when someone issuccessful representing aminority in his or her field, butthat does not make it any lessdisappointing.

If Americans placed lessemphasis on skin color andmore emphasis on culture andpeople, we would be able totake a step back and appreciatethe accomplishments of others.It’s time for us to grow up asfans and as people to shift thefocus from the race of the play-ers to the beauty of the gamethey play.

process takes three to fourweeks.

Full-board researchmethods are personally intru-sive or have the potential toproduce stress beyond whatis likely to be encountered bythe subjects in daily life. Full-board review requires theapproval of the entire IRB andis valid for one year. Approvaltakes four to six weeks.

Students applying for IRB

approval are required toreceive informed consentfrom research subjects.Informed consent ensuresthe subject is fully aware ofthe research procedures he orshe is agreeing to and he orshe is welcome to opt out ofresearch at any time.

“The IRB looks very close-ly at (research) methods,”Kimball said. “(Students)must be clear and explicit intheir application.”

The IRB takes several

aspects into consideration.First, who are the subjects,and are they part of a vulnera-ble population? What are thestudent’s methods for datacollection, and how will theyaffect the subjects? How is thestudent analyzing and usingthe data, and does analysispost any threat to subjects?Finally, how is the studenthandling and storing data,and will a subject’s privateinformation be vulnerable?

Kendra Owsley, a seniorinterdisciplinary studiesmajor, said she is planning towork with children for herhonors thesis.

Owsley has not yet deter-mined her exact researchmethods, but it is likely shewill observe and interact withchildren, a population theIRB considers vulnerable,and will likely be required toapply for exempt approval.

Valentines show love in creative way, support SHCDANNY GROSS

[email protected]

Love filled the UniversityCenter as students createdcolorful cards for their lovedones and supported theStudent Honors Council atthe “Make Your OwnValentine” station Tuesday.

SHC hosted the valen-tine-making station to raisefunds for the program’ssocial functions and trips.

SHC is a group com-prised of honors studentswho coordinate events,community service projectsand recruitment venturesfor the Honors Program.

“I think it’s a really cuteidea,” said Amber Rey, theco-vice president of Social

Affairs for SHC. “It’s reallynot one of our biggestmoney-maker fundraisers,but we’re doing it more forthe students then our per-sonal money gain.”

Members sold carna-tions and chocolates as wellas crafts students could useto make their own uniqueValentine’s Day card.

SHC also took preordersfor handmade cards in whichcouncil members took itupon themselves to design.

“We thought thatValentine’s Day is a prettygood day to do any type offundraising because peopleare trying to buy things fortheir sweethearts or trying tobe clever, like with a secretadmirer,” said Raven

Krueger, SHC’s vice presidentof alumni relations and anEnglish major. “So we figuredwe’d have something where itwas affordable and they couldmake a card without havingto go to the store and buy one,and they could have theirown little saying in it.”

In keeping with the aver-age college student’s budget,each item for sale was only$1. Students used construc-tion paper, crayons andmarkers as well as an abun-dance of other craft suppliesto create their own uniqueway of saying “Be mine.”

“We were going to do glit-ter but we figured that mightbe a little too messy,” Kruegersaid. “We decided to hold offon that ‘til another time.”

Because of the dangers ofglitter, the SHC found a saferoption, glitter markers, forthe students to bedazzletheir valentine creations.

The most common cardforms were hearts made ofpink and red paper, althoughsome students went for morerisque designs like lips tomake their message clear totheir significant others.

“I think it’s amazingbecause for broke collegestudents like myself, wecan still do something forsomeone we love, and it’snot super expensive,” saidLacey Schwartz, a fresh-man pre-nursing major “Iam making a heart for myboyfriend that I’ve beenwith for five years.”

IFS makes lesser known films available to studentsSARAH [email protected]

Every week, UNC stu-dents have the opportunity tosee international cinema cap-tured by Golden Globe,Sundance and other foreignaward-winning directors.

The University ofNorthern Colorado’sInternational Film Seriesrecently announced its filmlineup for the springsemester.

Films are shownWednesdays at 7 p.m. andThursdays at 7 and 9:15 p.m.in Lindou Auditorium, locat-ed in the bottom of MichenerLibrary.

All films are free to UNCand Aims students. Films are$3 for community membersand UNC faculty and staff.

Non-English-languagefilms are shown in the origi-

nal language with Englishsubtitles.

Kenneth Chan, an associ-ate professor of film studiesand IFS faculty adviser, dis-cussed the IFS cinematicexperience.

“[Students] get to watchfilms that they will not get tosee at the average Cineplex,”Chan said. “Cinema viewingcan also be a social experi-ence. Coming together withfriends to see films at the IFShelps encourage this aspectof the filmic experience.Furthermore, we try our bestto bring films that have yet tobe made available on DVD.”

With titles expandingacross the globe, each IFSfilm captures a new multi-cultural perspective. In“Circumstance,” genera-tions clash when MiddleEastern culture brushes upagainst homosexual identity

and women’s rights. Other films, such as “Le

Havre” from Finland, discussimmigration issues and civilwar in Africa.

Roxanne Greg, a junioraccounting major, is excitedabout the price of IFS films.

“It’s free, I mean how canyou not love that?” Greg said.“Every time I view an IFS film,I gain a new understanding ofcultures and locals. I’ve usedthe films as an extra learningtool, one that has supple-mented my curriculum inseveral of the humanitiescourses I’ve taken at UNC.These films are not fluff. Theycapture contemporary socialissues in innovative ways.”

Not only does IFS prideitself on showing cultural-ly diverse films that arenoted cinematic awardwinners, but IFS is alsoexcited to announce that

there will be guest appear-ances this semester.

Documentary directorEllen Weiss will talk on Feb.16 at 7 p.m. after thescreening of her film, “AWoman Like That,” whichnarrates the 17th-centuryfemale painter ArtemisiaGentileschi’s provocativework and dramatic life.

In collaboration with the2012 Oscar Shorts, WeldCounty filmmaker RobWalker will discuss his experi-ences at the 2011 PhiladelphiaFilm and Animation Awardson Feb. 22-23 at 7 p.m. Ascreening of his animatedshort films will follow.

Shannon Sproston, stu-dent director of IFS and a sen-ior composition and anthro-pology major, mentionedsome of the other co-spon-sorships happening thissemester.

“I’m a bit of a film nut, soI jumped at the opportunityto apply for student directorwhen it became available,”Sproston said. “IFS will beworking with the newlyestablished GerontologyClub and the GLBTAResource Office to screen anew documentary titled‘Gen Silent,’ which concerns

homosexual in the elderly.” The penultimate film,

“Korkoro,” will coincide withthe Holocaust MemorialObservance Committee.

IFS is a volunteer-based,student-run and student-funded organization.

“Dancing atLughnasa” centers ontension — tension amongsisters, between religionsand throughout the out-side world. These con-flicts, which are shownmost plainly through theexpressive faces of thesisters, keep the playmoving not forward butdownward in an inex-orable spiral.

Maggie, played withgoofy grace by Abby Ritt,is the glue of the familyand keeps the show, as

well as her sisters, togeth-er with her charming rid-dles and spontaneousdancing and singing. Sheis not, however, simply acheerful woman; Ritt por-trays her with great depth,showing the pain ofbetrayal and lost lovethrough an open expres-sion, showing more in hereyes than any words shecould express.

The rest of the sistersneed Maggie’s glue astheir characters developand disintegrate. Agnes(Kayla Reynolds) andRose (Erika Vetter) have aspecial connection that is

immediately felt andappreciated.

Rose, with her bounc-ing curls, is given a child-like innocence by Vetter.Her trusting impetuositycreates a bright discor-dance within the house.As motherly Agnes,Reynolds gently but firmlybrings Rose back to realitytime and again.

Agnes’ worry aboutRose is compounded byan unknown anxiety thatshows through the con-tinual tensing ofReynolds’ body. It is as ifshe is just hanging in herworld, waiting for the

worst to find her. Kate, played by

Malloree Hill, also worriesfor Rose and keeps hertension close in her body;however, she is also setapart from the others notonly by her demeanor butalso in her clothing.

As a schoolteacher,Kate is attired in a char-coal gray pencil skirt andmatching sweater, where-as her sisters are dressedin pastel gingham dressesand aprons. Hill generatesan air of pride and relent-less sensibility for Katethrough her carriage andvoice.

Chris, the last sister(Malorie Felt), is oppositeof Kate in her tempera-ment and portrayal. Feltlights up the stage whenshe enters, most especial-ly when dancing, whichshe does often. Pure joybursts forth from her eyeswhen she smiles and cre-ates an enchanting senseof peace and hope thatshe holds not only for her-self but for her young son,Michael (ChandlerDarby), and the man sheloves, Gerry (Chris Jones).

These remarkablewomen act out their joysand sorrows in the mini-

mal, yet realistic set (therewere real water spills fromthe sink) designed byZachary Keller.

This simple realismplaces the audience in thekitchen of the Mundyhouse. Keller’s layout,from the ironing board, tothe kitchen table, to thesink, to the stove, createsa circular patter to thescene, fitting for the danc-ing and action.

As these women circleround and round the cen-ter stove, so do their livescircle round and round,

PVA drama’s cast captures sadness in realistic manner

Senior wrestler leadsUNC team by exampleMICHAEL NOWELS

[email protected]

UNC senior wrestlerCasey Cruz knows the mean-ing of hard work. During histime at the University ofNorthern Colorado, he’s builthimself from an unrefined,talented athleteinto a polishedwrestler and, moreimportantly, awinner.

UNC headcoach BenCherrington saidhe thinks Cruz hasearned his 9-2 dualrecord this seasonthrough the work he has putin.

“When he first gothere, he was very raw,”Cherrington said. “He wasvery green. Just with hiswork ethic, he’s overcomea lot of things. He’s notthe most athletic kid, buthe works his butt off andhe figures out new posi-tions and he’s been suc-cessful because of it.”

In a sport likewrestling, where

matchups are based onweight in order to ensurea fair contest, that hardwork and dedication canbe an important factor indetermining success.

Coming into this season,Cruz was 40-24 overall, com-peting in the 133- and 141-pound weight classes. Thosevictories have likely helped

him stay positive,which seniorGabe Burak saidmakes Cruz, whohe’s known sincehigh school, avaluable asset tothe team on andoff the mat.

“ W e ’ v eknown each

other for a while,” Buraksaid. “Casey does a reallygood job of just keeping apositive attitude and beingupbeat and trying toencourage the guysaround him. He workshard — he leads by exam-ple in that area.”

Cruz himself said he likesto lead by example but alsoenjoys taking a teammateaside to discuss techniqueand motivation.

“I’m always pushing thepace just by myself,” he said.“Other guys will realize thatand build off that. But thenalso just talking to guys indi-vidually and just motivatingthem. Just helping them ontechnique stuff.”

Not only do Cruz’steammates see him as aleader, but Cherringtonsaid he also thinks Cruz is anatural in the role.

“You couldn’t ask for abetter kid in a leadershiprole,” he said. “He’s vice pres-ident of the Student AthleticAdvisory Committee. He’s anatural leader. He’s vocal andhe also leads by example withhis work ethic.”

Cruz has been workingwith G.R.I.T., a freestylewrestling team for children inFort Collins. He said he’d liketo continue to give back to thesport in whatever way he canbecause of the lessons he’slearned through wrestling.

“Wrestling’s taught mea lot of life lessons,” Cruzsaid. “From discipline tobeing on time for things topushing through certainthings I didn’t think Icould get through.”

The UNC swimmingand diving team begins thefinal stretch of its seasonwith competition in theMountain Pacific SportsFederation Swimming andDiving Championshipstoday in Los Angeles andColorado Springs.

The University ofNorthern Colorado swim-mers will begin at EastLos Angeles CommunityCollege, and the team ishoping to finish in thesame spot as last year orimprove.

“We’ve got one newteam coming in this year,and that’s BYU, so thatgives us 10 teams,” headcoach Kelly McClanahan

said. “So if we score any-thing less than sixth placethat means we’ve failed aspot this year and that isnot my goal. I want toeither maintain or moveup.”

The Bears’ team in the200 medley consists ofsophomores CourtneyVan Oost, Renee Stephensand Christina Gregoryand senior JJ Smith, who

holds the top time in therelay with 1 minute, 45.87seconds, which was setagainst Air Force. Therelay team is currentlyranked fifth in confer-ence.

Smith said she is hop-ing to break schoolrecords in this final meet,including the relay times.

“Looking at my timeslast year, I’m about a sec-

ond or so off the 100(meter) and also with the50, so if I can get that,being injured and every-thing, that would be awe-some,” Smith said. “Also,a couple of the relayrecords. We got a couplelast year, and we canhopefully break thoseagain and get the last twothat we need.”

After the medleys,

McClanahan said theteam’s biggest strengthsin competition are in theback, individual medley,breaststroke andfreestyle. The breast-stroke doesn’t begin untilFriday, but freestyle andIM preliminaries beginThursday.

UNC will geta good testagainst EasternWashington assenior guardBrianne Ryanhas been on firefor the Eagles.Ryan averagesjust less than20 points pergame andscored 33points in a home winagainst Weber State lastThursday. The last time theBears and Eagles faced off,UNC limited Ryan to only12 points.

“We have to play ourgood team defense, com-municate and know where

she is on the court at alltimes,” UNC senior forwardKaisha Brown said of Ryan.“Not giving her any openshots and making her takehard, contested shots is allwe can rely on.”

The Bears know EasternWashington is going to be atough game, but afterThursday night the Bears

Characters release tensionuntil none seem to knowwhere they started from inthe beginning.

This dissolution com-pletes the transformation ofNorton Theatre into theMundy’s kitchen. Those atthe show cannot help butbecome sucked into the tan-gle, passion and heartbreak ofthese sisters’ lives.

A small yet integral sub-plot for the show involvesFather Jack (KyttMcLaughlin), the uncle of thesisters. A longtime minister inAfrica who has only recentlyreturned to his home inIreland, Father Jack is an

intriguing part of the play. Played with bright-eyed

sensitivity by McLaughlin, heserves as a sweet contrast totrials and tribulations of thegirls. Seen most often pacingin a worn but clean cardigan,Father Jack lights up thestage in his own way throughthe telling of stories andoffering advice.

The most memorablescene of the play was also theonly of complete joy andabandon. Bookended onboth sides by a tense momentamong the sisters, theunquenchable Maggie, eyessparkling like a mischievousimp, smears her face with

flour and begins twirlingabout the kitchen, yelpingand hollering, letting go of thetension and fear and pain sheheld inside for so long.

Soon, all the sisters havejoined her, dancing to themusic of their beloved radio,spinning and shrieking likewomen without a care in theworld. The sheer energy andunbridled ecstasy of these fewmoments is breathtaking.When the music stops andthe sisters halt, there is a pal-pable sense of loss hoveringthrough the theater.

The play will be presentedtoday through Feb.18 at 7:30p.m. and Feb. 19 at 2 p.m.
