At any point throughoutthe school year, students atUNC have plenty of opportu-nities to attend events aimedat engaging students in thecampus community. Many ofthese events, such as home-coming week or the highlyanticipated spring concert,are presented by theUniversity Program Council.

UPC is a student organi-zation that coordinates andhosts events throughout theschool year.

UPC has six distinct areasthat are led by student coordi-nators, including marketingand public relations, graphicdesign, arts and entertain-ment, traditional events,

diverse programs and socialand developmental events.

The six coordinatorsagreed that one of the biggestrewards for them is watchingstudents get involved oncampus.

“I wanted to make peoplerealize that they can dothings that they might notthink they can do,” saidNouri Marrakchi, the socialand developmental eventscoordinator.

For the upcomingschool year, UPC is seekingto fill all coordinator posi-tions with new students.The current UPC coordina-tors held an informationalhiring meeting for prospec-tive applicants on Tuesdaynight in the Aspen Suites inthe University Center.

Each coordinator gave abrief overview of his or herresponsibilities.

Students interested inbecoming the traditionalevents coordinator canexpect to be in charge of coor-dinating events such asHomecoming Week, Fall andWinter Welcome Weeks,Friends and Family Weekendand Comedy Clubs.

The diverse programscoordinator is responsiblefor providing students withopportunities to attendevents that bring aware-ness to diverse issues inthe community.

The arts and entertain-ment coordinator is incharge of planning musicaland artistic events such as artexhibits, concerts, and Open

Mic Nights. Additionally, thearts and entertainment coor-dinator is also the organizerof the UPC Arts and MusicNewsletter.

The social and develop-mental events coordinatoris in charge of planningsocial events that do not fallinto the previous categories,such as bowling tourna-ments and laser tag. Theseevents take place both onand off campus and areaimed at engaging the stu-dent population.

The last two coordinatingpositions are responsible foradvertising events.

The graphic design coor-dinator designs promotionalitems for UPC events and reg-ularly updates the UPC socialnetworking sites to keep stu-dents informed aboutupcoming events. Studentsinterested in this positionshould keep in mind that itrequires knowledge of high-er-level design programs.

The pubic relations andmarketing coordinator is incharge of outreach, recruit-ment and advertising forUPC events. Working close-ly with the graphic designcoordinator, the public rela-tions coordinator is oftenexpected to be an announc-er at many events and mayfind him or herself “prettymicrophone-friendly,” saidKacie Thomas, the currentpublic relations and mar-keting coordinator.

Each coordinator hasdistinct responsibilities,but they all work togetherto bring events to the stu-dent body. Prior to theschool year, the six studentstravel to Estes Park for aretreat where they bond asa group and discover howthey can best work sepa-rately and as a group.

There are also far-reach-ing benefits to working as acoordinator for the UPC.Serving as coordinators can

also prepare students forcareers after college.

“I’ve learned so many dif-ferent things that I can useprofessionally, too,” saidNicole Larson, the traditionalevents coordinator.

Applicants must be cur-rently enrolled at UNC with atleast 12 undergraduate cred-its or 9 graduate credits.Applicants must be in goodacademic standing with atleast a 2.5 semester GPA.Coordinators are expected tomaintain a cumulative 2.5GPA and must meet the timecommitment of 14 hours perweek.

Applications can be com-pleted online atwww.unco.edu/upc/hiring-info.html.

The application deadlineis March 9 and the interviewprocess will begin March 20.UPC will host another infor-mational meeting at 6 p.m.March 1 in the Aspen Suites atthe University Center.

Are you concerned with thepossibility of a zombie apocalypse?

Don’t worry, there’s a class forthat.

At least there is at MichiganState University. The MSU Schoolof Social Work has announced theopening of an online summercourse called “Surviving theComing Zombie Apocalypse –Catastrophes and HumanBehavior.”

The seven-week course willcombine aspects of sociology, geol-ogy and anthropology, among otherdisciplines, to examine humanbehavior and nature change after

catastrophic incidences.The creator and instructor of

the class, Glenn Stutzky, said thetopic is a serious one as far as thehuman behavior is concerned. Theaspect of hypothetical zombieswreaking havoc on society simplymakes the class more interesting.

“We are using the idea of azombie apocalypse to attract atten-tion to the important research andscience on the topic of‘Catastrophes and HumanBehavior,’” Stutzky told MSU’sUniversity Relations.

It’s a very creative angle to takewith a course, but there are a few

flaws in how it’s planned.For one, it’s an online class in

which students will be placed into“survivor groups” and work togeth-er for the duration of the class. Toget students in an online class tocome together is difficult but notimpossible.

Second, for the right type ofsociology majors, the zombieaspect isn’t necessarily needed. Ifanything, it detracts from what thecourse is really intending to informthe students about.

Finally, in order to take the two-credit class, one must be willing tospend some cash. Granted, people

take online and summer classes allthe time, but to ask Michigan resi-dents to pay $380.50 per credit for ajoke of a class like this is unreason-able. If a student is a non-residentattending MSU, they’d pay morethan $1,900 just for this one class.

If you really care about surviv-ing the zombie apocalypse thatbadly, rent “Zombieland” for anight. It’s a much cheaperoption, and the final is probably alot less difficult.

Just remember: good cardio isa must, beware of bathrooms,and by all means, remember thedouble tap.

Expensive online class not needed to learn survival

In recent years, nostalgiahas become increasinglyprevalent and even cele-

brated. Old-school jerseys,throwback radio and the fashionof the ’80s and ’90s have becomemore common recently, and Iwill be the first to admit it hasbeen fun. But if we can’t evencreate our own culture, then howwill our generation transitioninto adulthood?

I remember when I discoveredVH1’s series of “I Love The _0s”(yes, I watched VH1 — everyonedid in high school, right?). I felt like Ilearned so much about my parents’generation and the pop culture past

of America, and I honestly couldn’twait for the 1990s edition to comeout so that I could see others’ reac-tions to some of the things thatshaped my childhood.

When it finally aired, I wasecstatic that I was able to relivesome of my favorite memorieswhile simultaneously being con-fused about why the show had evencome out so soon after the decadeended.

Last year, “I Love the NewMillennium” premiered, docu-menting the first 10 years of the2000s. I was once again happy tolook back at some of the events, butsince when can we fully grasp thecultural relevance of a decade lessthan two years after it has ended?

With the ever-increasing speedof the Internet, America hasbecome over-reflective of eventsbefore they have even sunk in.There’s a difference between remix-

ing a recent hip-hop track to addnew verses and sampling a songthat is from the same era as the newproduction. The former is accept-able while the latter is somewherebetween awkward and lazy.

As much as I enjoyed JimmyKimmel’s “Movie: The Movie” trail-er, it was an example of howHollywood’s decision to embraceself-referential humor is spiralingcomedy into a strange place fromwhich return is questionable. Starsare becoming memes and carica-tures of themselves, creating ridicu-lous situations simply by their pres-ence in a production.

Similarly, Jimmy Fallon, BrianWilliams and The Roots “slow-jammed” the news this week, andit was absolutely hysterical.However, if the most enjoyableproductions from pop culture aremarriages between two complete-ly different parts of the society, the

creativity of the people must comeinto question. Fallon oftenemploys such tactics, and does soquite successfully, but entertainersshould also experiment with newbrands of music, film and comedyto further our culture.

I must confess that I love flannelshirts, Dennis Rodman and A TribeCalled Quest. But once that gapbetween the current culture andthe time period about which it rem-inisces closes, the line between thepast and the present blurs, and thefuture becomes an afterthought. IfAmerican culture continues on thispath, our nostalgia will catch up tothe present, creating some sort ofcultural black hole. Maybe theMayan calendar was right about2012.

The Women’s ResourceCenter kicked off its recogni-tion of Eating DisorderAwareness Week by educat-ing UNC students about dif-ferent illnesses and about liv-ing healthy lifestyles throughthe Mind and Body FairMonday at the UniversityCenter.

“This week is important tounderstanding that we have

to take care of our minds andbodies and realizing whenthere is a reason to be con-cerned,” said Yvette Lucero-Ngyuen, the WRC coordina-tor. “There are resources oncampus.”

Some of the tablesoffered entertainment activ-ities such as henna tattoosand snacks, and a largeposter informed passing stu-dents that an averagewoman would have to be

between six and nine feet tallto have the proportions of aBarbie doll.

Other tables, though,

focused on the serious impli-cations of eating disorders.Campus and Denverresource centers offered

information and support forfamily and friends of peoplewith eating disorders to helpthem understand the condi-tions and educate them onhow to best help their lovedones.

One of the manyresources in attendance wasthe Eating Recovery Center inDenver. The Eating RecoveryCenter offers help for peopleafflicted with eating disordersas well as classes for thefriends and family of thosewho don’t know how to help.

“It’s cool to be able to sup-port people that way,” saidSarah Gilstrap, a representa-tive for the Eating RecoveryCenter in Denver.

A key point made at thebooths was that eating dis-

orders are not choices; theyare medical conditions,and college is one of themajor life changes that leadto an increased risk for eat-ing disorders. The fair gavestudents a chance to learnabout the places they couldgo for help without the fearof being judged.

Many of the facts given onthe pamphlets and at thebooths were simple, directand crafted to break stereo-types. Facts stated that 10-15percent of people withanorexia and bulimia aremale, genetics factor intowhether a person is likely toget an eating disorder andanorexia kills more than anyother mental illness.

“I learned that there’s a lotof information out there –more than I anticipated,” saidLindi Stultz, a junior psychol-ogy major.

The fair was the first in aseries of events that UNC willhost this week in recognitionof the National EatingDisorders Association’sannual awareness campaign.

“The national theme ofthis week is ‘EverybodyKnows Somebody,’” Gilstrapsaid.

Wednesday, representa-tives from the WRC and theCounseling Center will pres-ent in various classes abouteating disorders.

The WRC will host“Canvas and Chocolates” at 7p.m. Thursday in the UCwhere students will have achance to paint portraits ofwhat they think is beautiful asthey enjoy chocolate desserts.

The quilts displayed inthe Mari Michener Galleryare not to be cuddled with.They are to be admired asunique pieces of art.

Last Friday, the Friendsof UNC Libraries hosted areception for Evans’Pieceable Friends QuiltGuild, an organization thatstarted in 1995.

The Pieceable FriendsQuilt Show, which will be inMichener until March 23,exhibits 60 quilts.

Maureen Waite, theguild’s current president,acknowledged that manypeople would not call quilt-ing an art, and they wouldbase their argument on thepractical use of quilts: to

keep people warm.However, Waite believes

Torie Anderson’s “TorieUncivilized” presents a quiltthat has no practical pur-pose, a quilt that was madefor art’s sake.

In “Torie Uncivilized,”mountains, trees and hillsframe a lake’s slowly mov-ing waters, an image thatcomes to life due to its useof green, brown, blue andpurple hues.

“The quilt has no practi-cal purpose,” said Waite,who identifies as a “practi-cal” quilter. “It’s composedlike a painting… Quiltinghas evolved as an art in thelast 20 or so years.”

Waite related a Hawaiianfolk belief: Because quiltersput so much of themselvesinto the quilt, they only pos-

sess their souls when theysleep with it.

Shelia Bolsover’s “Pussin Books” is a massive hom-age to cats in English andAmerican literature, fromJames Boswell’s “The Life ofSamuel Johnson” to Dr.Seuss’ “The Cat in the Hat.”

Not all of the quilts weremade by members, though.Some of them are familyheirlooms.

Donna Hubbard, a for-mer guild president, lent thegallery “Prayers for Donna,”a dominantly blue quilt fullof Bible hymns, flowers andrabbits. Hubbard’s familymade her the quilt as a giftfor taking care of her termi-nally ill mother for threeyears.

Additionally, “Lydia’sFans,” was made by Waite’s

great-grandmother, a 19thcentury indenturedNorwegian slave who earnedher freedom by taking care ofa dentist’s child.

Helen Reed, the dean ofthe University of NorthernColorado’s library system,was present at the eventand said she seesMichener art receptions asa way to engage theGreeley community.

“We are part of the com-munity, so we need to workon breaking down the barri-ers between UNC andGreeley,” Reed said. “This isan opportunity for us tobring the Greeley commu-nity to campus and buildrelationships.”

The Pieceable FriendsGuild meets the thirdTuesday of every month

in the Evans CommunityCenter at 6:30 p.m.

Waite encouraged peopleto visit the guild, even if only

for social purposes.“We enjoy talking as

much as we enjoy quilting,”she said.

The social issues of theearly 20th century have oftenbeen portrayed by thedepressing, gloomy storiesabout intolerance, injusticeand discrimination.

There was darkness pres-ent during that time ofAmerican history, but boththe bad and the good havemade their way in the Collegeof Performing and Visual Arts’version of the musical“Ragtime,” which is based onthe 1975 novel by E.L.Doctorow.

The musical openstonight at 7:30 p.m. and willrun until March 4 in

Langworthy Theatre, locatedin Frasier Hall.

Set in early 1900s NewYork, “Ragtime” focuses onthree major groups: blacks,Eastern European immi-grants and well-to-do whites.Within these groups areMother (played by juniormusical theater major AnneTerze-Schwarz), CoalhouseWalker (played by guest per-former Terron Brooks), hislover Sarah (played by juniormusical theater major AishaJackson) and the Jewishimmigrant Tateh (played bysenior musical theater majorHayden Stanes).

Brooks is a singer andactor whose credentialsinclude performing with

Michael Jackson and star-ring on Broadway’s “TheLion King.”

“I have a chorus role andplay one ofC o a l h o u s e ’ smen,” said RandyChalmers, a for-mer UNC stu-dent. “The playhas a lot do withrace and status,social issues thatwere prominentduring that timeperiod.”

The produc-tion is under thedirection of DavidGrapes, and it traditionallyrequires that about one-thirdof the cast be black. There are

three black students in themusical theater program, soaudition requirements werenot limited to UNC students.

“I was workingwith a girl who is inthe theater depart-ment, and she wastelling me she waslooking for peopleoutside of thed e p a r t m e n tbecause therearen’t too manystudents of color,”Chalmers said.

The Tonyaward-winningmusical pieces

in “Ragtime” includegospels, cakewalks, rag-time and marches.

The University ofNorthern Colorado WindEnsemble, directed by KenSingleton, will provide themusic for the diverse pieces.

“I think (Grapes) decidedto put on the show to provehe can direct a diverse cast,and it’s a good recruiting toolto show students of diversebackgrounds and ethnicitiesthat we’re not just an all-white school,” said CoreyThompson, a senior musicaltheater major. “This is thesecond show of the semes-ter, and rehearsals tookplace the weekend beforethe semester started. Theywere really early.”

The musical, rated PG,will focus on the preju-

dice, freedom, hope anddespair experienced bythose trying to obtain theAmerican Dream duringthe turn of the century.

“I think it’s a good thingthat the arts department ispromoting diversity by bring-ing such a production to theUNC community,” saidJames Richardson, a seniorcomputer graphics major. “Ithink it’s important for theperforming arts school tobring more diverse shows tocampus so (it) can showcasethe colorful, talented students(who) attend this school andare in the community.”

Women’s hoops close to securing second seed STAFF REPORT

[email protected]

The UNC women’sbasketball team letNorthern Arizona have its

fun Monday, but Bearshad too much to lose tolet it continue.

The Lumberjacks got a4-0 lead to start thegame, but the University

of Northern Coloradotook the lead two min-utes later and neverlooked back, leavingFlagstaff, Ariz., with a 75-63 victory.

With the win, UNC (18-10, 10-5 Big Sky) stays in aloss-column tie for sec-ond place in the confer-ence with EasternWashington (16-12, 10-5)and Montana (16-11, 9-5),and the team stays in therace for the No. 2 seed anda bye in the conferencetournament next week.

Save for the first fourminutes against NAU (8-20, 3-12), UNC’s win wasrarely in doubt.

The Bears shot 45 per-

cent from the field andutilized their free throwattempts — making 13-of-16 in the first half — tobuild a 12-point lead inthe first 20 minutes. UNCwent into halftime with a33-28 advantage.

UNC sophomoreguard D’shara Strangeand senior forward KaishaBrown both scored 11points in the second halfto keep NAU out of thegame.

Strange and Brownscored 21 and 18 points inthe game, respectively,and junior guard VictoriaTimm tied her season-high with 12 points as theBears cruised to their

fourth consecutive win.Junior forward LaurenOosdyke tallied ninepoints and five assists,and three bench playersadded at least four pointsfor UNC.

Strange also made 11-of-13 free throw attemptsin the game, both of

which are season-highs,and the Bears as a teammade a season-high 56percent (5-of-9) on 3-point attempts.

UNC concludes its reg-ular season at 2:05 p.m.Saturday against PortlandState at Butler-HancockSports Pavilion.

Quest for No. 2 Seed

If the Bears defeat Portland State athome Saturday, they’ll secure the No. 2seed in the Big Sky tournament. If UNC

ends up with the same conferencerecord as Eastern Washington and

Montana, UNC wins the tiebreaker afterhaving swept both teams this season.

Faith keys senior wrestler’s drive in only season as BearTARIQ MOHAMMAD

[email protected]

“Faith” is the word thatbest describes UNC seniorwrestler Gabe Burak.

Burak, who won threeColorado high school statechampionships atCoronado High School inColorado Springs, trans-ferred to the University ofNorthern Colorado for hisfifth and final year ofwrestling from theUniversity of Pennsylvania,and the move influencedthe Bears’ wrestling roomfrom day one.

“Gabe is a quality guy,”UNC head coach BenCherrington said. “He prac-tices what he preaches inevery walk of life. That’s the

type of person you need in aleadership role. We are veryfortunate to have him onour team, even just for oneyear. He has made a hugeimpact on our young guys.”

Redshirt freshmanCharlie McMartin, Burak’sroommate, said Burak chal-lenges people around himto have big goals.

Burak, who was raisedwith a strong faith in God,has applied that faith toevery facet of life, fuelingthe fire that propels him tosucceed. Belief is one thingthat Burak said will alwayssit inside him.

“My faith is the mostimportant thing in my life,”Burak said. “It allowed meto seek and guide everyaspect of my life.”

Burak has gone 19-2 forthe Bears this season, whichis not surprising consider-ing how athletic his familyis.

His father wrestled atMuhlenberg College inPennsylvania, his motherwas a gymnast at theUniversity of Minnesotaand his two little brothersboth wrestle. A devout reli-gious family, the Burakswere taught to know Godpersonally. Burak attributeshis successes in life and ath-letics to the Lord.

His teammates andpeers easily notice thatbelief.

“Gabe is a guy who caresa lot about people,”McMartin said. “The quali-ties of the people around

him areenhanced whenhe is aroundthem. He doesn’tdomineer oro v e r s h a d o wthem but encour-ages them to bewho they are.”

With team-mates andcoaches, andmuch of his fami-ly and friends, watching, itis difficult for Burak toplease everyone, althoughhe said would like to. ButBurak said he looks toplease more than just them.

“When you’re just livingto serve and please thosearound you, if no one iswatching then you mightnot give your best,” he said.

“I still strugglewith that, but Iknow that Godis with mewherever I’mat, so I want toseek to give myvery best, tohave a passion,whether that’shere in thewrestling room,doing school,

whatever area it’s in, todo my very best that isdone to the Lord. As I’mdoing that, I do hope thatothers see a differenceand it affects my team-mates.”

Burak will look to earnAll-American honors at theend of this season, a distinc-tion he’s fallen just short of

in years past. Cherringtonfound himself in the sameposition as Burak at BoiseState but managed to earnthe status in his senior year.Burak looks to follow inCherrington’s footsteps.

“This is his last chance,and he is going to throw allthe cards on the table,”Cherrington said.

With high goals for notonly himself but also every-one around him, Burakheads into the upcomingWestern WrestlingConference Championshipswith few worries.

“He’s is not a guy thatis afraid, or (shies) awayfrom the hard things inlife,” McMartin said.“He’ll face those headon.”

Gabe Burak went 19-2 in hisonly season atUNC after transfer-ring from UPenn.

The Counseling Centerand Women’s ResourceCenter helped educateUNC students about eat-ing disorders through aunique film screening andinteractive theater experi-ence during the EatingDisorder Awareness Weekevent “Fitness U.”

The University ofNorthern Colorado centersscreened the documentary“Someday Melissa,” whichtells the story of a young

woman named Melissawho suffered from bulimiafor five years before herdeath at age 19.

Her story is toldthrough her family,friends, doctors, homemovies, photos and jour-nal entries. It takes itsname from a list of thingsshe hoped to do someday,including eating break-fast, keeping a job andmaking a film that wouldchange lives.

“Someday Melissa” isalso the name of the char-ity her mother founded toraise money for eatingdisorder research andawareness.

After the film, studentswere invited to stay forthe “Fitness U” perform-

ance where studentsshared stories and worksdone by people strugglingwith a disorder.

Jade Northrop, a UNCstudent, read three poemswritten by a woman inrecovery from an eatingdisorder. Steven Buchanan,a communication studiesmajor, read one from thefather of a recoveringanorexic. Olivia Beyette, aUNC student, shared herown story of continuingrecovery.

“It feels like a hugetherapy session for me tobe able to have thisopportunity,” Beyettesaid.

The performancebecame interactive whenKim Wilcox, director of

the Counseling Center,joined the others on stage.She asked the performersand audience questionslike whether it would beeasier for each person toname 10 things to hate or10 things to love aboutthemselves.

The conversationfocused on noticing thesigns of eating disordersand finding the courageto get help. The fact thateating disorders aresecret diseases withsymptoms difficult tonotice was reiteratedmultiple times in boththe film and during theperformance.

“By having this con-versation, we get closer tohaving more resourcesand to recognizing thatthis is an epidemic in ourcountry,” Wilcox said.

The Counseling Centerteamed up with the WRCto host this event to offersupport and spread theword about diseases thatare hard to see, even tothe victims and the peo-ple closest to them.

“This was enlightening.I came because I’m study-ing education and I thinkit’s relevant to workingwith high school students,”said Emma Fleming, aUNC sophomore.

After the performance,Wilcox encouraged inter-ested students to talk toher, as well as to referfriends who might be suf-fering from a disease tothe Counseling Center.

“I think that there ishope and that educationand awareness are key,”Wilcox said.
