Art may vary in style and content from nation to nation, but the UNC Gala showed on Saturday that art unites more than it divides. Th e 34th annual Gala, themed “World Tour,” kicked off at 6 p.m. as over 1,000 people crowded Union Colony Civic Center for an art reception of more than 70 works by UNC students. Art was displayed in the Tointon Gallery and in the second-fl oor lobby, with media ranging from traditional charcoal drawing to 3D print-ed plastic. Stefan Th akur, a junior art and design major with a ceramics emphasis, contributed an ab-stract sculpture with rusted plates of steel con-nected with rods. Inspiration for the precariously

balanced Fractured I was two-fold, he explained. “I’m going through a lot of tough times…with all that stress in my life, I’ve had a lot of chaos and unpredictability, and I wanted to portray that in a way to express how I feel in everyday life,” he said. “Also to display a reaction to the events of 9/11, and how my dad was almost placed on the plane that fl ew into the Twin Towers.”

Caucuses: What voters need to knowStaff Report

[email protected]

Ready. Set. Caucus.

Unlike general primary election voting, a

caucus is an informal system where voters

actively debate with one another, in an at-

tempt to persuade other members of their

party to support their preferred nominee.

Colorado has a round of precinct-level

caucuses in various places and neighbor-

hoods around the state. Candidates need

to meet a minimum of 15 percent of voters'

support to send enough delegates to repre-

sent them at the next level.

Caucuses are important because the num-

ber of supporters each candidate gathers

shows the level of support for that candi-

date in Colorado.

For years, UNC’s journalism program has labeled its major as journalism and mass communications. But this upcoming fall semester, the program and major’s name will be changed to journalism and me-dia studies and will be accompanied by an entirely new curriculum. Charles Ingold, the coordinator of the journalism and mass communications program, said there was a variety of reasons for the modifi cation, but that keep-ing up with changes in the media landscape and in media professions were the main drivers. Unlike some other fi elds of study, it doesn’t take an advanced degree to become a professional in the fi eld of journalism, according to Ingold. While a master’s or doctorate degree may be required to become an economist or a psychologist, journalism students are expected to get a career immediately upon graduat-ing with a bachelor's degree. Th erefore, it is important undergraduate journalism students learn all the skills necessary for entry level jobs in the industry. To be qualifi ed for a job in the media, students must be prepared to use digital programs such as Adobe In-Design and Photoshop, and must be able to edit vid-eos eff ectively. Faculty and staff in the journalism program have

been talking about updating the program for years, but they have not had enough resources until now, In-gold said. He clarifi ed that the program has been mak-ing periodic changes over the years, but has not made any major overhauls. Lynn Klyde-Silverstein, an associate professor of journalism, said the news-editorial emphasis of the major will be merging with the telecommunications emphasis. Th e new emphasis will be known as news and multimedia production. In the new program, students will be learning how to use cameras, how to work in a news studio and how to write news for print and online. “Everyone will be ready to work in a fi eld that’s changing,” Klyde-Silverstein said. Th e public relations and advertising media empha-sis will become the strategic communications empha-sis. Th e new classes being off ered will be synthesizing marketing, public relations and advertising. Associate professor of journalism Lee Anne Peck said she has been working on creating the new cur-riculum for public relations for the past three years, starting with discussions she had with former profes-sor Amy Reitz. Th e pair essentially created the new curriculum for the strategic communications emphasis in the spring 2013, she said. “Instead of having Intro to Public Relations, Intro to Marketing and Intro to Advertising Principles, it is turn-ing into Intro to Strategic Communications,” Peck said.

Ingold also said the program was changing as a way to make it more clear what the program is actually about, as many people perceive mass communications to mean older media like television and newspapers. Changing the title to journalism and media studies alleviates that sort of confusion, making it clearer the program also prepares students for careers pertaining to social media. “Media studies was seen as a more all-encompass-ing name,” Ingold said. One of the new courses being off ered for the news and multimedia emphasis is Media Writing, a course in which students will be instructed on how to research, report and write for “various media channels, including newspapers, TV news, public relations and internet.” A few other new courses being offered are Im-pact of Media on Society, Video Production and Media Ethics. Students in the current journalism and mass com-munications program will not be left behind, though. “Current students will be able to fi nish under the old requirements, and if they stay under the old cata-log we will have to deliver the program to them,” In-gold said. “If the courses they need—maybe they need a specifi c course or two to fi nish their requirements—we’ll substitute something in the new curriculum that will actually be better. But they will defi nitely be taken care of.” “I’m looking forward to the change,” Peck said. “It’s long overdue.”

Students go on ‘world tour’ for GalaFrom page 1

Though the artwork was forged in suffering and anxiety, its place in the gallery shines proudly for the artist. At 7 p.m., crowds rushed to the doors of Monfort Hall, where the musical portion of the Gala opened with “Wilkom-men” from Cabaret, set in Germany. In three different languages, the Emcee, Corbin George, welcomed the audi-ence before remarking on the orchestra’s beauty as the curtains opened up to the String Orches-tra. Taking the audience west to Ireland, Christopher Luther led the orchestra in a Celtic medley. President Kay Norton then gave opening remarks, and an-nounced that fundraising for the Campus Commons has already reached a third of its goal with four million dollars. Later, Socrates Garcia led his Latin Jazz Orchestra in his own composition “Vantage Point,” featuring percussion instru-ments from his homeland of the Dominican Republic. After Garcia threw down his hand for the climactic final note, things slowed down in an ethereal cho-ral piece called “Stars” by Latvian composer Ēriks Ešenvalds. With some members playing musical glasses, harmonious droning provided a heavenly backdrop to the talents of the Concert Choir.

The Garibaldi Sax Quartet picked things up with mariachi pieces “La Negra” and “Guada-lajara” performed in traditional mariachi garb. UNC Internet project #Virtual-Band performed “Celebration” by Marcus Hatfield with seven live performers playing with 18 video performances made by musicians in nine different countries. The second half of the pro-gram kicked off with the come-dy-filled Act I Finale of Pirates of Penzance, a piece that parodies its own musical form. After a musi-cal theatre duet, a piano quartet played two pieces by J.S. Bach on two pianos. The pianists seemed entranced as they performed “Sicilienne” before moving to the fast-paced “Sabre Dance.” Vocal Lab combined with a percussion ensemble for “Butsu Mutandari,” a song of the Shona people of Zimbabwe and neighboring countries. The performers—and even some audience members—nodded their heads and moved in rhythm with the song. Though many individual performers and small groups were showcased throughout the Gala, the finale united about 150 performers as the audience arrived back home with “God Bless America.” Jill Burgett, director of choral music education and associate director of choral studies, di-

rected the finale, which she says is meant to capture that feeling of arriving home. “I have been on many inter-national tours with my choirs, and it never fails: When we travel internationally, as great of a time as we have, there’s this sense when we land back in the U.S. of really arriving home and a newfound appreciation for home,” she said. “So it makes sense to me to end our global tour coming home.” Burgett said that the finale’s grand scale is about more than just numbers. “As much as we highlight in-dividuals and small groups, we always end with everyone. That’s a really important aspect of the Gala because we’re all in our lit-tle areas and we don’t get to work together very often, so whenever we have a chance to collaborate like this it’s a wonderful experi-ence for everybody involved,” she explained. Junior music education major Lindsay Dean participated in the finale for her third year and echoed that appreciation for the collaboration it takes. “We usually close out with something big and powerful, so it’s always really cool to be right in the center of it,” she said. “To be standing behind all of these bass drums and timpani and trumpet and vio-lins everywhere - it’s cool get-

ting to have that much sound all around you.” The audience was invited to experience that sensation as ad-ditional brass lined the sides of the concert hall at the end of the

finale, completely filling the hall with music. Though the musical perfor-mance is over, the art will re-main on display at the Tointon Gallery until March 5.

Since opening its doors in 1914 in New York, the Apollo Theater has played a vital role in African-American history, bringing about talents such as Bill Cosby and Sammy Davis Jr., and popularizing jazz, gospel, blues and soul music, according to the Apollo Theater website.. Fast-forwarding nearly 100 years, the theater and its past are still important to the African-American com-munity, and its famous amateur night was brought to students at UNC. Wednesday night in the University Center, the school’s Marcus Garvey Cultural Center and Black Stu-dent Union teamed up to put on “Apollo Night” as one of many events being held for Black History Month.

Several acts were signed up for the “talent show,” but audience members were also called to come on-stage—with or without talent—to sing, dance, read poetry and even tell knock-knock jokes. Booing is expected at amateur night at the Apollo, so it was encouraged at UNC’s event as well, as long as it was “respectful.” A few acts were booed jokingly, but laughter and shouts of encouragement echoed throughout the University Center during the event. The audience engagement was a notable feature of the night, and as it got later, more performers were encouraging people to get up and dance along with them. “I think the participation of everybody is just infec-tious,” said Adreonna Adair, a junior special education major, excitedly. Brianna Gilbert, a junior business management major and a recruitment officer for the Black Student Union who was helping run the event, agreed, saying

the turnout was even better than they expected. Gilbert explained that the Marcus Garvey Cultural Center and the Black Student Union collaborated at the beginning of the year to plan out the events for Black History Month, and that was when the idea for Apollo Night came up. Gilbert said that although this “talent show” had never been put on at UNC before, she hopes for it to continue in the future, and get better each year. “It’s nice how everyone came out to support each other,” Gilbert said. “It’s a good way for people to show off their talents. Some of us didn’t even know that these people could even do certain things. It’s fun. It’s a nice relief for the middle of the week—everyone’s stressing about school—so it’s just fun for everyone to relax and have fun.” Events for Black History Month continue through the month of February.

Yo-yo talent brings back the goldBy Trevor Reid

[email protected]

George Covarrubias spun a humble story about his yo-yoing skills that earned him fi rst place at UNC’s Got Talent Th ursday night in the Recreation Center. “I fi rst got into yo-yoing when I couldn’t play any instruments, and I ended up fi nding a cheap yo-yo in my room,” the senior audiology and speech-language sciences major said. Aft er fi nding a 2005 World Champion yo-yo video, Covarru-bias began modifying his cheap yo-yo to make it perform like a professional one. Eventually he convinced his parents to get him a professional yo-yo, paving the way for his unconventional talent. For a half-time show, three UNC students exhibited talents of their own in challenges from the game show “Minute to Win It.” Th e fi rst challenge was a hectic scramble as each student attempted to juggle three balloons with one hand. “Paper Dragons” required them to unroll party streamers two at a time, with one hand for each streamer. In a hilarious fi nal challenge that had the audience laughing, the partici-pants had to get ping pong balls out of tissue boxes tied to their lower backs. Seven of the nine talent performances showcased more tradi-tional musical talent at UNC. Four singers exhibited passion and range, from Beyoncé’s “Mine” to a belting rendition of Evanes-

cence’s “Call Me When You’re Sober.” Last year’s crowd favorite Nikea Minott breathed new life into one of the most widely covered songs in music history, “Summertime.” Two guitarists performed original songs, one a love song and the other a Christian song. Later, ukulele player Anna Fielder cov-ered Amy Winehouse’s “Back to Black.” Junior sports and exercise science major Ariel Russell broke up the musical talent, bringing expressive and energetic dancing to the stage. First performing to “Formation” by Beyoncé, Russell threw off her coat with a fl ourishing spin to the audience before heading off -stage to dance. Th ough it was her fi rst time performing in a college setting, Russell said she picked up dancing about 10 years ago. “I got into dance when I was about 10 years old,” she said. “My dad and I were just watching music videos and we would always have dance competitions, and ever since then, I’ve just loved to dance.” Russell began practicing for the talent show in January, but she performed a free-style rendition Th ursday night. Th ough she won

third place, Russell said her real focus was having fun. “I am so proud of everyone,” she said. “I didn’t want to place. I just wanted to do it for fun, but getting third place… that was really rewarding, so I had a great time.” Th e talent show was coordinated by senior business manage-ment major Jessi Ray. Being the Arts and Entertainment Events Coordinator of the University Program Council, Ray puts togeth-er events with comedians and professional entertainers. Despite the large scale of the professional events, they do not require as much planning as the talent show, she said, mentioning that auditions for the event started in November. Ray said all the work was worth it, thanks to the diverse talents that showed up. “I was really excited because I felt like the talent was very dif-ferent,” Ray said. “Everyone wasn’t singing or playing guitar. Th ere was dancing and yo-yoing and still singing, but there was a uku-lele. I was excited because I felt like it was a diff erent event com-pared to normal talent shows.” Covarrubias said he was surprised by how well everyone re-ceived his unconventional yo-yoing talent. “I’m pretty blown away,” he said. “I didn’t think I’d win. I pulled too hard on a trick in the fi rst routine, so I hurt my fi nger. I didn’t think I’d win because the string kept getting caught on my fi nger. It kind of feels like I’m in a dream right now, so hopefully I don’t wake up.”

UNC closed out its dual schedule Wednesday evening falling to familiar foe, the Air Force Falcons, 19-12. The first of the four Bear wins came in the third match of the night when red-shirt freshman Ben Polkowske picked up a win by decision at 141 pounds. After going scoreless in the first period, Polkowske started the second period on top and scored a vi-tal four-point nearfall. He only added to his lead in the third period, putting up three points for UNC with the 8-2 victory. Next, red-shirt senior Tim-my Box followed Polkowske’s lead at 149 pounds. Getting off to a quick start, Box got a takedown in just 11 seconds. He started the second period on bottom, managing to es-cape in four seconds, but the score would be tied going into the final period due to a take-down by his opponent Jerry McGinty. In the third period, Box proved to be too much to

handle, picking up the win 9-4. Junior Eleazar DeLuca picked up the Bears’ third win of the night at 157 pounds. The first period ended with De-Luca up 2-1 after a takedown and an escape by his opponent Zach Stepan. DeLuca secured a reversal in the second pe-

riod moving his lead to three points. That ended up being enough despite an escape by Stepan in both the second and third periods. The third straight win of the night put the Bears on top after five matches by the score of 9-7. The Bears dropped the next

three matches before red-shirt senior Trent Noon turned things around picking up a victory at 197 pounds. Noon picked up his second win in as many tries against Air Force’s Parker Hines this season. Noon led 2-1 after the first pe-riod—Noon with a takedown

and Hines with an escape. A takedown, plus an escape of his own, gave Noon a 5-2 advantage heading into the third period. Hines quickly tied the match at 5-5 to start the third period, but a reversal and the riding time advantage point gave Noon the 8-6 win by decision. “Tonight was a bit disap-pointing and definitely a tough loss,” head coach Troy Nick-erson said. “I don’t think we wrestled our best, but it puts things in perspective as far as where we’re at and where we need to go. We’ve been trying to hit our stride all year and I still don’t think we’re there, but we do expect to be there in two and a half weeks.” The competition in two weeks is the Big 12 Confer-ence Championships that will take place on March 5 and 6 in Kansas City, Missouri. In their first year in Big 12 competition, the Bears fin-ished 4-7 in duals and 1-5 in the Big 12, while grabbing five individual champions and putting numerous other wrestlers on the podium in various tournaments.

A well-rounded team effort came up just short as Northern Colorado (8-18, 5-9 Big Sky) dropped its fifth straight game at North Dakota (13-12, 8-6 Big Sky) 74-73. UNC had two players reach double figures and five players end with nine points apiece in the loss. Red-shirt sophomore Jeremy Verha-gen and red-shirt junior Dallas Anglin both led the team with 10 points each. Verhagen added four boards and two blocks to his final stat line, while eight of Anglin’s 10 points came in the sec-ond half. Jordan Davis, Anthony Johnson, Tanner Morgan, Ibrahim Sylla and Jor-dan Wilson all contributed with nine

points apiece. Both Davis and Morgan scored all nine of their points in the fi-nal 20 minutes of play. “I thought we played extremely well defensively—we had couple of mishaps in the second half due to fatigue, but to hold somebody (North Dakota) who’s that explosive offensively to 41 percent shooting on their home court is a great job,” head coach B.J. Hill said. “For the first time in a long time I don’t feel like our defense was the culprit and I’m very proud of the effort on that end.” UND held a 12-6 advantage during the first five minutes of the game be-fore the Bears went on a 10-0 run to take the lead, 16-12. During the UNC streak, North Dakota was held scoreless for nearly five minutes. Northern Colorado extended its lead to as many as eight (25-17) over the next three minutes thanks to five

straight points from Verhagen. The Fighting Hawks retaliated with a decisive 8-2 run to end the half and sent UNC into the locker room down 33-29. “We missed some crucial box outs, but the big thing obviously was the turn-overs,” Hill added. “It wasn’t just one guy, it was everybody right on down the line that turned it over and you can’t have that obviously in a one possession game. That was the difference.” North Dakota picked up right where they left off, scoring the first six points of the second half to build a double-digit lead (39-29) for the first time all game. For the next 13 minutes, Northern Colorado trailed by at least nine points to UND. The Bears largest deficit came with 9:48 to play in the game after a layup from Adam McDermott put North

Dakota on top 56-42. UNC’s offense began to click after the basket from UND and the team slowly chipped away at the lead. Over the next nine minutes, the Bears erased the 14-point hole and found themselves down by just two (68-66) with 33 seconds to go af-ter a three-ball from junior forward Jon’te Dotson. The Fighting Hawks were clutch down the stretch at the free throw line, ending the game 6-of-8 at the line to hand UNC the loss. As a team, the Bears shot 48.8 per-cent (21-of-43) from the floor and finished 40 percent (8-of-20) from the three-point arc.
