It smells like chiliThe 8th annual ColoradoChili Cook-Off takes overthe UC Ballrooms. PAGE 2

LAUREL CASEYnews@uncmirror.com

A crowd of 140 UNCstaff, students, faculty andcommunity members paida three-dollar donation tohave a chili lunch and chatTuesday in the holiday-dec-orated University CenterBallrooms.

All donations raisedwere given to the ColoradoCombined Campaign(CCC), which is an organi-zation that funds charitiessuch as the Boys and GirlsClub, Weld County FoodBank, United Way, AWoman’s Place, NorthernColorado Red Cross andother aid organizations inthe Greeley community.

“It’s the best day of the

year,” said Dave Steward, agraduate assistant in theDean of Students Office andchili contestant with hiswhite bean chicken chili.“The networking of stu-dents, staff and faculty iswonderful, and it is anuplifting chance to visitwith everybody.”

Eighteen different chiliswere entered in the cook-offand were in the running formost unique, best red andbest green chilis. Uponentering the Ballrooms, vis-itors grabbed a spoon and avoting sheet and made theirway around the room totaste chilis presented insmall plastic cups.

Total donations reached$205 toward the ColoradoCombined Campaign.

“I think in the comingyears we may look for adonation for the cinnamonrolls from a local business tohelp keep those costs down,”said Lori Brachtenbach,event coordinator and assis-tant to the vice president in

the division of finance andadministration. “The totalamount donated to theColorado CombinedCampaign through payrolldeductions, credit card andcheck donations is over$15,000 up from about

$12,000 for last year”.The majority of guests

were not students at theevent, but one student inparticular showed herenthusiasm for chili, mainlybecause she entered adessert chili into the contestwith a friend.

“We wanted to make adifferent dessert chili main-ly to beat out Hal Brown forthe most unique award,”said Katie Mandem, a sen-ior political science major.

Her dessert combinationconsisted of strawberries inplace of tomatoes, marsh-mallows in place of beansand a homemade chilichocolate sauce toppedwith whipped cream, inplace of sour cream.

Another crowd pleaserat the showdown wasBrown, director of diningServices at UNC, and hisfamous “Two Chile BeerChili.” Brown grows barley

for Coors BrewingCompany and is proud touse beer that he has brewedfrom his crops in his chilicreations.

“The best part is themoney that we raise,”Brown said. “Also workingwith my gifted staff andlearning through them.”

His chili takes two daysto make and includesAnaheim peppers andsmoked jalapenos alongwith his brewed beer.

Advertisements for thisevent were in UNC Todayand campus emails. KimGray, an office manager inParking Services hasentered her chili into thiscook-off six years in a row.

“The best part is seeingeveryone that comes in andfeeding them my chili,” Graysaid. “I enjoy meeting newUNC people and visiting withcampus friends that youdon’t get to see often.”

During the Dutchess ofCambridge’s visit to thehospital, her nurse was

contacted Dec. 4 by two radio hostswho pretended to be the Queen ofEngland and Prince Charles. Thetwo radio hosts imitated Englishvoices while feigning genuine careof the Duchess and the nurse, whotruly believed she was speaking tomembers of the royal family andgave confidential informationabout the Duchess’s (Kate

Middleton’s) condition. This was allbroadcast live during a radio pro-gram in Australia.

This prank became publicizedaround the world and seemedrather comical until the 46-year-oldnurse, Jacintha Saldanha, wasfound dead in her apartment Fridayafter apparently committing sui-cide. She was the mother of twochildren. The radio hosts have beensuspended indefinitely due to theoutcome of the prank.

My heart goes out to the twochildren who have lost their motherbecause she apparently could notcope with the embarrassment andstress of having divulged confiden-tial information to a larger part ofthe Australian community. The

woman was ridiculed on live radiobecause someone wanted ratingsand thought a prank might be agood idea.

I would like to know when it is agood idea to divulge into the privatelife of someone who has been hos-pitalized and broadcast it on the air.Middleton was reported as havingsevere morning sickness, but that’sall that needed to be reported. Thewhole world does not need to knowthe details of illness in the royalfamily of England.

This is one of the reasons whythe media’s prodding can anger me.Yes, it is important to gain inter-views and details in order to informthe public about the events in theworld. It is not important, however,

to go to great lengths to find outwhy a person is hospitalized.

I am sure that the two radiohosts are upset at the outcome oftheir prank — rather, I hope theyare. They should have seen the pos-sible consequences of a prank suchas this.

The suicide is a tragedy and onethat could have been prevented ifothers had chosen to mind theirbusiness. Knowing that Middletonwas in the hospital should havebeen enough information about hercondition. Someone did not need topay the expense for a few minutesof higher radio show ratings.

As I sit in procrastinationof driving to Greeley onelast time to help put

together my final weekly edition ofThe Mirror for this semester, I thinkabout my time spent in this bovinemetropolis. I have observed manythings throughout the 16 months Ihave spent here.

I moved here on a whim. I hadgotten weary of spending time inmy perceived wasteland known asLaramie, Wyo., and I needed achange. That change brought me toGreeley at the beginning of the 2011school year. I was in a new city, anew school and in a whole newprogram. I wanted a change, and itwas a change I got.

I’m moving away again but thistime under different circumstances.As I get older, I am realizing that myroots are ready to settle somewhereand create a “home-base” if youwill. I realize now that Greeley is notthe place for me, not even enoughof a place for me to stay and gradu-ate. This was a realization I wish Icould have recognized before wast-ing five years in Laramie.

I am not weary of the time that Ihave spent in Greeley. I’d like tothink that being brought here wasfor reasons beyond my compre-hension. I learned to let go of thingsI can’t control, to recognize where Iam at and no longer lie to myself. Ilearned that if I want something, Ihave to go forth and achieve what Iset out to do.

My time as a member of theRunaway Artists Group has beenvery inspiring. I had the privilege ofseeing the vast amount of talentcoming out of the art program at

UNC. The opportunity to act in theSpring One Acts provided a memoryof working with amazingly talentedindividuals who are sure to succeedincredibly at UNC and in futureendeavors, and the family that CO-OP provided for me was needed andwill always be cherished.

Perhaps one of the most memo-rable and life-changing experiencesof living in Greeley was working atThe Mirror. After walking in thedoors in August of last year tobecome a photographer and seeingevents that molded the Universityof Northern Colorado and Greeleyas a whole. I became part of the edi-torial staff which eventually becameyet another dysfunctional familythat I looked forward to spendingmy evenings with on Thursday andSunday, preparing a publication forwhomever wants to pick it up.Working at The Mirror is somethingthat taught me a lot about myself —who I am as a reader, a writer, a

photographer and an observer.My time in Greeley has been

short, but I am ready to move onand continue the search for theplace I can spread my roots and callhome. But to you, reader of thisnewspaper, I encourage you tospend your time here wisely. Yourlife and time spent anywhere is onlyat the control of where you putyourself. The worst thing you coulddo is waste years of your life floatingaround without any drive.

I urge you to be intentionalabout where you are and what youare doing. If waking up and going tothat one specific class becomesyour day’s most tumultuous event,then do something about it. Enjoythe here and now, make life inten-tional and, in the great words of RuPaul: “Don’t (expletive) it up!”

The Average Life of Nicci BeeBy Nicole Busse

Students to handle $1.2 millionbudget, get real world experienceSTAFF REPORT

news@uncmirror.com

For a business financestudent, getting hands-onexperience can be difficult.Managing money on a per-sonal level isn’t the same astaking on anything resem-bling an actual portfolio.Fortunately for 12 businessstudents at UNC, the collegehas provided a solution to thisproblem by offering actualexperience at the undergrad-uate level.

It’s called the Student andFinance Fund, and JohnClinebell, a professor fromthe Monfort College ofBusiness, helped to set it up20 years ago. The programallows business students towork with a fund of moneydonated from the UNCFoundation and to make real-life decisions as to where toinvest that money. Today, theamount of money the stu-dents have to work with is$1.2 million, but it wasn’talways that way.

“We started in the fall of1992 with $200,000,” Clinebell

said. “We were one of the ear-liest universities in the coun-try to get this program goingand definitely one of the firstto have it at the undergradu-ate level.”

While SAFF is set up as aclass for students to take,the whole operation closelyresembles responsibilitiesin the real world, with oneof the most noticeable dif-ferences being that stu-dents are required to applyfor the program.

“What happens is eachsemester students fill outapplications and then inter-view. Enrollment is limited to12 students,” Clinebell said.“We look at academic back-grounds of the students, butwe’re also looking for stu-dents who can make the tran-sition from student to profes-sional and show maturity andtake responsibility.”

Given that these studentswill be managing more than$1 million of UNCFoundation money, theapplicants always are, asClinebell says, “top students”.

While there was a certain

amount of concern back in1992 about letting college stu-dents manage and invest uni-versity money — especially atthe undergraduate level —the results speak for them-selves. The fact that the pot ofmoney has grown from$200,000 to $1.2 million illus-trates the students’ ability tohandle a portfolio well.

“Students go through thewhole investment and portfoliomanagement process,”Clinebell said. “They perform allthe functions they would in thereal world, including an eco-nomic forecast and managingboth stocks and bonds. Theyhave to give presentations to theclass about where they feel themoney should be invested, andthen they have a class debate. Allthe final decisions are made bythe students.”

The SAFF was a risk thatthe University was willingto take in 1992. As Clinebellsaid, “there’s always somenervousness” when startingsomething like that. Itturned out, however, to bean investment that hasmore than returned its cost.

The 2012 productionof “The Nutcracker,” pre-sented by ColoradoDance Theatre group,took place Dec. 7-9 at theUnion Colony CivicCenter. “The Nutcracker”is performed annuallyaround the world and hasplayed in Greeley for 18years. The ballet is a cele-bration of the Christmasseason.

“What a blessing it isto work with such amaz-ingly talented and beau-tiful dancers,” saidDebbie Larsen, who haschoreographed and

directed the classicChristmas holiday balletfor the last 11 years.

“Thank you for your end-less hours of rehearsalsand the many sacrificesthat you make so that wecan bring this beautifulballet to our community.Working with you bringsme such joy.”

In the first act, ayoung woman namedClara is given aNutcracker as a gift fromthe mysterious HerrDrosselmeyer. Once theclock strikes midnight onChristmas Eve, Claraawakens to a magicalreality — her Nutcrackerdoll has transformed intoa handsome prince withwhom she travels to meetthe Sugar Plum Fairy and

the yuletide members ofher kingdom. The role ofClara starred CarlyMcClees Friday andSaturday and TiffanyDann on Sunday.

“I really enjoy watch-ing ‘The Nutcracker’because there is so muchenthusiasm,” said EmilieDaniels, who saw theshow for the first time lastyear and said she couldnot wait to return. “It issuch an enjoyable show.”

Guests artists RandyHerrera and AutumnEckman were the high-lights of the perform-ance. Eckman, whodanced the coveted roleof the Sugar Plum Fairy,

is originally from Atlantaand has trained with theAtlanta Ballet, Tom Pazikand the Houston DanceCompany. Herrera, whoplayed Cavalier andearned several outbreaksof ecstatic applause forhis agile spins and acro-batics, earned the presti-gious Princess Graceaward and is a frequentguest artist at ballet stu-dios both nationally andinternationally.

The show boastednearly full seating at allthree shows and the per-formances were well-received, resulting in astanding ovation on oneof the nights. The audi-

ence ranged from infantsto senior citizens. SueDowdy attended theevent with her best friendof decades because herniece bought her ticketsas a holiday present. Shehad never seen “TheNutcracker” and has notattended many theatricalor ballet performances inher lifetime.

“It is beautiful andfestive,” Dowdy said.“The set is so colorfuland seasonal. Thedancers are wonderful.”

Family, caring and intensity key to senior’s success at UNCSAMANTHA FOX

sports@uncmirror.com

For many, family is thefirst thing to form the typeof person someonebecomes.

For senior outside hitterKelley Arnold, family iswho she is, and a big part ofwhat brought her to theUNC volleyball team.

“Knowing that I will beable to see their faces in thecrowd and talk to themafter the game is just awe-some,” Arnold said. “I’m abig family person, andbeing from my backgroundwhen we moved around alot, I know that family is thebiggest thing in life that willstand by you.”

Originally from Ohio,Arnold and her familyhave moved four times,including twice toColorado before settlingin Berthoud during hersophomore year in highschool.

Arnold attendedBerthoud High School,where she was named to theAll-State team twice, a finalistfor the Gatorade Player of theYear and a Prep VolleyballFab 50 recruit for 2009.

“She was — at the time,and maybe still is — thebiggest recruit that we’vegotten,” Bears head coachLyndsey Oates said. “The

fun thing about her recruit-ing process is she wanted tocome to UNC before weeven offered. She wanted tobe a teacher. She wanted tostay close to home. We werea great fit for her — she did-n’t want to go to a bigschool. It didn’t take longfor us to make her an offerwhen you see that kind ofarm on a 6-foot-2 lefty.”

Arnold said UNC waswhere she had wanted togo, and when she foundout the volleyball teamwas interested in her, shedidn’t have to think twice.The elementary educationmajor had planned ongoing into teaching for awhile and is on track tobegin her student teachingin the fall of 2013.

Throughout her timeas a Bear, her family hasbeen a strong support forher, coming and cheeringfor Arnold at home con-tests, as well as occasion-ally traveling to roadmatches. Arnold said herfamily is her biggest moti-vator and she plays hergames for them.

That family mindset isa big part of the culture ofthe UNC volleyball team,and one teammate in par-ticular has grown closewith Arnold, even in justone season of playingtogether.

“She’s like my bestfriend out here — she’slike my sister,” freshmansetter Allie Hutchesonsaid. “She’s really takenme in and been my emo-tional leader off the court.There’s obviously beensome struggles movingaway from home, butshe’s just picked me upand said, ‘I’m carryingyou through this. I’m get-ting you through this, socome with me.’”

Part of that trust hascome from the caring per-sonality Arnold has off thecourt. She said she cares forthe girls on the team, andgives so much of the credit

of her collegiate success toher teammates.

“I think it’s just my pas-sion and love for the game,”Arnold said. “These girls,especially, make it so easy.Every day in practice, wealways say we’re playing foreach other. And I tell Lyndsey,whether I get zero kills or 20kills, I am still happy to beplaying with these girls on thiscourt, and I think that’s defi-nitely what’s kept me goingare these girls and the lovethat we have here.”

Arnold has been namedto the All-Big Sky Conferenceteam and the Big SkyConference VolleyballChampionship All-

Tournament Team the pastthree seasons, includingbeing named the 2011 BigSky Conference MVP.

In 2011, Arnold led theBig Sky Conference and wasnationally ranked in kills perset (3.88) and points per set(4.54), ranking 63rd and48th, respectively.

Arnold has led the team inkills her sophomore throughsenior seasons, with 455, 435and 442, respectively. Herfreshman season, Arnoldmissed 26 matches due to ashoulder injury, and has suf-fered a plethora of injuriesthroughout her career, butOates said her mental tough-ness has helped her face thatadversity.

“She’s learned to han-dle injuries better as hercareer goes on,” Oatessaid. “You really have tobe mentally tough to han-dle injuries.”

Another way Oatessaid Arnold has grown isher feisty attitude on thecourt. Oates said herintensity was not in com-plete control as a fresh-man but has grown overtime. Her attitude on thecourt is one of her mostdominating traits duringmatches.

“It takes a little whileto understand KelleyArnold, but what makesher great is she’s so caring

with her teammates offthe court that they seethat side of her and knowwhen she’s on the court,she wants to win,” Oatessaid. “She’s just beingcompetitive.”

Sophomore outsidehitter Tambre Haddocksaid Arnold’s intensity issomething that is not justpresent during matches,but her work ethic andcompetitive nature trans-late into practice — whichmotivates the rest of theteam to repeat.

“Everything aboutKelley’s game is intense,”Haddock said. “She nevergives a half effort. Shestrives for that perfection,and you see it in practice.She’s diving for balls inpractice like it’s a game.”

Arnold will be leaving ahole on the team, some-thing that Hutcheson saidwill leave the returners theneed to step up as newleaders on the team nextseason. Part of what willbe missing is the intensityand passion Arnold bringsto the Bears.

“Kelley goes all out,”Oates said. “Whetherthat’s on the court, off thecourt, everything shedoes she wants to be thebest at it, and she does itwith passion and goesafter it hard.”
