a 19th century landscape photog-
rapher.
-DFNVRQ�ZDV� WKH�RIÀFLDO� �����Hayden Geological Survey pho-
tographer, and after the creation
of Yellowstone National Park, he
earned his reputation as a photog-
rapher.
Jackson eventually switched to
printing, where he sold his nega-
tives to the Detroit Publishing
Company after it had gained the
rights to photocom in America.
The prints are available for
viewing in Archival Services in

,�WHQG�WR�DYRLG�FRQÁLFW�like it’s a fat venomous spider sitting on a nest full of hatching eggs. I like to make peace, not war.
So what does a people-pleasing pushover like myself do when things just aren’t going my way? When do I draw the line and speak up about it?
To be honest, there are very, very few things that I see as enough of a prob-lem for me to say some-thing about. Drinking and driving is one of them.
I know way too many people that drink and drive regularly, and con-tinue to do so because nothing bad has happened yet. They haven’t got-ten pulled over yet. They haven’t gotten a ticket yet. They haven’t gotten in an accident yet. They haven’t killed anyone yet.
It’s much easier to ig-nore the rules when you’re lucky enough to have nev-er experienced negative consequences. It’s enough to make people believe that they never will have to deal with those conse-quences. But just because you’ve never been caught doesn’t mean you never will be, and just because you haven’t crashed your car doesn’t mean you nev-er will.
Every time I tell people that drinking and driving is one of the few things that really infuriates me, they always say, “What’s the big deal?” Let me tell you.
,W� ZRXOG� EH� ÀQH� ZLWK�me if when you got be-hind that wheel you were just taking your own life in your hands, but you’re not. You are endanger-
ing every other person on the road, including the people who thought ahead and chose to stay sober, the people like me who are just driving home from their night shifts, the people who are going to see their loved ones some-where.
You have no right to take those peoples’ lives in your hands, just as a murderer has no right to take the lives of innocent people.
Did I just compare drunk drivers to murder-ers? Yes, I did. Every drunk driver is a potential killer.
I know that when ev-eryone got their license, they had to watch the scary anti-drinking-and-driving videos where so-and-so ended up in a wheelchair, and so-and-so
wrapped her car around a light pole killing everyone inside or so-and-so hit another car and was com-pletely okay but killed the other car’s passengers.
I know you (yes, YOU) have seen that stuff. Everyone I know who drinks and drives has seen that stuff, and it blows my mind that they still choose to do it.
My same aforemen-tioned coworker recently got arrested for a DUI. He was not the one to tell me; I heard through the grape-vine. He still has not told me what happened, but he knows I know vaguely. I have not asked other peo-ple, and I have not asked KLP� IRU� FODULÀFDWLRQ�� ,�hope he chooses to tell me himself.
This is just speculation, but it must be out of shame
that he’s chosen not to tell me. He has quit drinking time and time again, be-cause he has driven drunk time and time again and he knows it’s wrong.
I would not judge him if he told me what hap-pened. I love him with all my heart. But I do not understand that af-ter his brushes with the law and after his brushes with death he still cannot choose, when drunk, not to drive.
I choose to walk every-where when I’m drunk. And dammit, I shouldn’t be the only one.
— Danielle Ross
Letter to the editor: Weed more chill than liquorI prefer marijuana to alcohol.
There, I said it. I know I’m not the only one,
and I know the other people who feel this way have their own rea-sons for their preference as well. I certainly have plenty of reasons.
Among others, I’m way too busy to get drunk and party it up. Ever. I have a job and classes and a long-term, committed relation-ship, and it’s all I can do to keep some semblance of a social life.
With school as my main focus, I know marijuana affects me and my studies much differently than alcohol affects those who choose to drink.
When I wake up, or between classes, or before or during work—I like to blaze it (don’t worry, I work at a smoke shop).
When I’m stressed or bored or writing—I like to blaze it.
Heck, catch me with a ten-min-ute break at any time during the day—and I’ll blaze it.
Obviously, my smoking habits have a big effect on my study hab-its. Although marijuana gives me a sink-into-the-couch feeling, it also inspires me.
Drinker-students tend to get all their work done ahead of time and then party on the weekends. I, however, don’t do my work in bulk. I space it out and procrasti-nate pretty hard.
Maybe that’s the biggest dif-ference between the two student lifestyles.
I do, however, believe it is eas-ier to be productive when high. I can get blazed beyond belief and still know who I am, where I am, make good decisions and be aware of the things I have to do, though I may be less motivated to do them.
If I get drunk beyond belief and manage to not throw up, my brain is jumbled, too fast, confusing and spinning.
No way could I get any work done drunk.
If you have to remember facts DQG� ÀJXUHV�� KRZHYHU�� \RX� PLJKW�as well kiss weed goodbye.
I can’t imagine doing engineer-ing, or math, or sports and exercise science, or nursing, or anything like that while being as friendly with Mary Jane as I am.
But philosophy, English, or art majors are just better suited for the stoner lifestyle.
As a student, you just have to have your priorities straight when you pick your poison, and how of-ten to partake.

Monfort offers new program in the fall
Breelyn Bowe | The MirrorCris de la Torre, director of MBA studies, speaking to students interested in the new program last Tuesday in Kepner Hall.
Kimberly [email protected]
The University of North-ern Colorado’s Monfort College of Business will begin the 2014 fall semes-ter with a Master of Busi-ness Administration pro-gram for graduates seeking to complete their master’s degree.
Classes in this new pro-gram will be located at UNC’s Loveland Center at Centerra, which will make it convenient for profes-sionals from the Northern Colorado area and Denver to be part of the program, XQLYHUVLW\�RIÀFLDOV�VDLG�
The college, which has earned exceptional ac-counting and business ac-creditation from AACSB International, seeks to ex-pand access to education with convenient schedules and the ability to surround students with experienced faculty.
In the competitive mar-ketplace, it is essential for students to expand their knowledge and set the foundation of entrepreneur-ship, and this is exactly what the MBA program provides students with.
Enrolled students will also have the option of us-ing software and hardware that is actually used in the business world.
The MBA program, with the help of expert faculty members, will guide stu-dents to thrive in today’s
business world and global enterprises. The program LV�D�EHQHÀFLDO�UHVRXUFH�WKDW�works with the schedules of working professionals. Classes are eight weeks in length and meet two times a week.
“The MBA program is ÁH[LEOH� DQG� ZLOO� EULQJ� D�new program to people in the region and provides a nice hands-on experience,” said John Paradis, UNC marketing development manager.
He also said that the classrooms will be small and allow students to get more one-on-one interac-tion with their instructors.
With a total of 36 de-gree required credit hours, the core curriculum is made up of 27 credits with nine credits being elective courses a student can take. The elective credits earned may be concentrated in the specialization areas.
Specialization areas can consist of healthcare ad-ministration and human resources management, and these consist of nine addi-tional credit hours.
The MBA program provides students with business fundamentals in ethical leadership, manage-ULDO� SURÀFLHQF\� DQG� VROX-tion driven problem solv-ing.
A Master of Accounting specialized program is also offered for students who wish to complete their spe-FLÀF�DUHD�RI�VWXG\�RQ�FDP-
pus. An MBA thesis option is also available.

Any students interested in being part of the MBA program at UNC’s Monfort College of Business can ap-ply online 60 days prior to WKH�ÀUVW�GD\�RI�FODVVHV��
Applications are online and students are required to have at least a 3.0 GPA and D�FRS\�RI�RIÀFLDO�WUDQVFULSWV�from an accredited college or university they have at-tended.
Students are also re-quired to have a GMAT score of 500 or higher.
Students have the option of applying for probation-ary status if they receive GMAT or GRE scores be-low the minimum require-ments. The GMAT or GRE scores may be waived if a student has a graduate de-gree from an accredited in-stitution.

Alexander Heit: More to the story than texting and driving
Alexander Heit
Photo courtesy of Greeley Police DepartmentAlexander Heit’s cell phone display screen shortly after the ac-cident showed a text message Heit had typed but never sent.
Katarina [email protected]
Society sometimes over-looks the bright side in fa-vor of the darkest stories.
Alexander Heit was an amiable and benevolent person. Though he kept a reserved and quiet demean-or on the University of Northern Colorado’s cam-pus, his friends and family knew him as the clever and witty man he really was. Heit was naturally curi-ous, and he often chose to observe the world around him, noting the changes he would like to make one day.
A 6-foot, 22-year-old audiology and speech-lan-guage major, he had de-cided to pursue his degree after witnessing his grand-father’s struggles with hearing loss. He cherished his academics and gradu-ated with honors from Fair-view High School in Boul-der in 2009.
Heit found peace in nature and a home in the outdoors. He loved his Colorado mountains and WKH� EHDXW\� KH� FRXOG� ÀQG�in them. Whether he was hiking or snowboarding, Heit was passionate, and he found excitement in an ac-tive lifestyle. Some of his biggest adventures steered him to snowboarding in Whistler in British Colum-bia, Canada, and Jackson Hole in Wyoming, and also led him to be a regular visitor to Colorado’s many snow resorts.
He was an effortless giv-er. Though typically intro-verted, Heit became an ex-trovert when it involved the happiness of other living things. He was interested in helping everyone he could and making their quality of life better. As a volunteer at both the Humane Society and at the local hospital, he wanted to be a positive con-tributor to other people and animals’ lives.
Heit was also skilled
when he turned on his vid-eo game system, preferred dub-step music, rocked Nike clothing and was an avid Atlanta Braves fan.
A dependable and trust-worthy brother to his two sisters and a congenial son to proud parents Sharon and Steve, he was close and involved with his family. They said they noticed he had a unique vision and an old soul, and that they were often surprised with his in-sights and humor.
But in one moment, with one simple mistake, every-thing was taken from Heit and everyone who had ever gotten to know him.
A little over a year ago, Alexander Heit was in a car accident involving texting and driving that took his life.
According to the Gree-ley police report, Heit had been traveling eastbound at about 5 p.m. April 3, 2013, on O Street from 35th Av-enue on a turn with a nar-row dirt shoulder and a steep drop. Witnesses said he appeared to have his face down when he began drift-ing into the oncoming lane RI�WUDIÀF��$IWHU�+HLW�QRWLFHG�another vehicle traveling westbound slow down and move over, he jerked his steering wheel and over-corrected his vehicle, caus-ing it to roll over. Heit died from brain injury.
Heit had a clean driving record and was not speed-ing when the accident oc-curred.
Days later, his parents released a striking image of Heit’s phone, which showed the text message that he had been typing but never sent. Police found Heit’s phone with the text message conversation on display.
“Hey man I had to run out for like an hour,” the sender wrote.
Heit had a partial re-sponse typed out, but it was never sent.
“Sounds good my man, seeya soon, ill tw,” it read.
The Heit family made clear that they wanted to use this photo as an eye-opener for those who have made the mistake of texting and driving. They said not everybody really under-stood the tragedy they were
going through when they lost their son. Sharon and Steve Heit said he was a beloved and integral part to not only their family, but to the community as well.
“No words can truly de-scribe the nightmare Alex’s tragic and sudden death has been to us,” they wrote in an
email this week to The Mir-ror. “He was a bright young man with a good heart and a strong desire to make a positive contribution to the world, and his loss will be felt forever more.”
When it comes to texting and driving, the Heits say simply: do not do it. They said drivers should have their full attention on the road. They often see people obliviously texting while driving, they said, and it saddens them. Often it only takes one slip-up for an ev-eryday driver to end up in the same catastrophe.
“We would ask only that students recognize their own importance to their families’ and the world, and when they can, choose to make safe choices,” they wrote.
Sharon and Steve Heit recalled a memory of Heit that demonstrated the way he lived his life. They said that although Heit was very gifted and talented when it came to his education, he had always struggled with learning the Spanish lan-guage. Despite the fact that LW�ZDV�GLIÀFXOW� IRU�KLP��KH�pushed through in middle and high school and even went on to declare a minor in the language in college.
They said he did this because he knew it would help him serve and aid the Spanish-speaking popula-tions in America, and it would allow him to fully be able to communicate with them.
“It was just the way he was,” they wrote.
According to textin-ganddrivingsafety.com, 23 percent of auto collisions in 2011 involved cell phones. That is approximately 1.3 million car accidents. Tex-ting while driving is also about six times more likely to cause an accident than driving intoxicated, and is the same as driving after four beers.
According to the Insur-
ance Institute for Highway Safety Fatality, texting while driving is also the cause of death for 11 teens every day.
In Colorado, all drivers are prohibited from texting while driving. According to drivinglaws.org, the law VWDWHV� WKHUH� LV� D� ���� ÀQH�plus a $6 surcharge for a ÀUVW�RIIHQVH��WKH�ÀQH�LV�WKHQ�$100 plus a $6 surcharge for a second offense. It is also a primary law, which PHDQV� WKDW� DQ� RIÀFHU� FDQ�pull someone over just for witnessing him or her tex-WLQJ�ZKLOH�GULYLQJ�� WKH\�GR�not have to witness some other violation.
The only exception to this law is if there is an “emergency.”
The Heits are current-ly working with Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks to restore and en-hance a section of the pop-ular South Boulder Creek Trail in Alex’s honor. They plan on replanting native vegetation and establishing a new creek access point for visitors. The trail was sup-posed to open last fall, but EHFDXVH� RI� WKH� ÁRRGV� WKDW�happened during that time period, the opening was postponed. The project is predicted to be complete by the middle of this month.
On UNC’s campus, a Burr oak tree was planted north of Gunter Hall in honor of Heit. The tree was planted Oct. 18, which would have been Heit’s 23rd birthday. The tree is also accompanied by a bench with a plaque for Heit.
Sharon and Steve Heit said that they appreciated the experience Heit had at UNC and the kindness the school has shown since the accident.
“We are reminded of how precious and fragile life is, to cherish the mo-ments with the ones we love and to be kind to ev-eryone,” they wrote.

Michaela Cross | The MirrorColorado has the eighth highest suicide rate in the nation. Not addressing this rate has made it the states’s “silent problem.”
Colorado’s “silent problem” heard by UNC studentsMonique [email protected]
Suicide is the leading cause of death for 10-34 year olds, and the seventh highest cause of death for all age groups in Colorado. According to a press release from the Colorado State Senate, Colorado is home to the eighth highest suicide rate in the na-tion. Because of the high suicide rates in the state, it has become known as Colorado’s “silent problem.”
Senator Linda Newell, who just began her second four-year term, has attempted to address these high sui-cide rates by pushing legislation to establish a commission of public and private experts. These experts would help provide recommendations for how to reduce the suicide rates of Coloradans.
Anthony Thomas, a senior criminal justice major, said the issue is close to his heart.
“I was suicidal, and I think it’s a cheap shot,” Thomas said. “It’s more EHQHÀFLDO�WR�UHDFK�RXW�IRU�KHOS��%XW�QR�
one wants to help unless they know that you’re going through something.”
With the creation of the bill, a com-mission will be created with the inten-tion of providing both private and public leadership and interventions for suicide prevention.
Those representing both the private and public sections will have experi-ence or will have been affected by sui-cide and suicide prevention.
“I know a lot of people who thought about it, and it was an easy way out for them,” said David Fitch, a freshman computer science major. “With younger kids, I think suicide is a way for them to get attention. But for some, it is a real problem and it’s sad to think that they don’t think they have anything to live for at such a young age.”
Suicide may be written out as an attention-seeking ploy by some, but the legislative declaration states that suicide is a statewide problem and that there should be more education pro-vided to make the public more aware of the problem. It also says the state
should provide options for the people of Colorado who are struggling with the issue. It also stated that it is neces-sary for this bill to be passed for the safety, health and peace of the public.
Some of the responsibilities of the Suicide Prevention Commission include providing public and private leadership for the prevention of sui-cide, setting statewide suicide preven-tion priorities, being an advisor to the RIÀFH� RI� VXLFLGH� SUHYHQWLRQ�� ,W� DOVR�promotes coordination and coopera-tion between suicide prevention pro-grams and strategies throughout the state.
UNC offers counseling and psychi-atric care for UNC students who are in need of these services.
“I know that we have them, but I don’t know how effective they are. No one wants to talk about their prob-lems; they don’t want to be stigma-tized and think they’re alone, no mat-ter where they go,” Thomas said.
The Counseling Center is located RQ� WKH� VHFRQG� ÁRRU� RI� &DVVLG\� +DOO�and can be reached at 970-351-2496.

Balancing act of work and a social lifeMonique [email protected]
The University Alumni Association and UNC’s Counseling Services provided a workshop last Monday for seniors on how to maintain a proper work and life balance.
Tips on mindfulness meditation, stress management and breathing techniques were provided at the workshop.
Lee Shefferman, a staff psychologist from UNC’s counseling services, said mindfulness meditation is the practice of observing one’s breathing patterns and making notes of where thoughts are during breathing. Being mindful is the ability to make moment-to-moment judgments with-out emotion clouding the decision.
Shefferman said that while being mind-ful helps with the ability to make judgment calls, it also helps with being more aware of the present so that it is easier to gain perspective on a situation. Shefferman also said it helps with being able to control reac-tions from stress.
According to a pamphlet handed out at the event, stress is involved in everything in life, and it causes people to view situa-tions differently than they normally would. According to www.msn.healthyliving.com, there are seven reasons stress is healthy for the body: it gives life it’s zing, makes people more social, improves memory, en-hances creativity, makes people more alert, boosts immune systems and helps human bodies recover faster. But too much stress can also cause the immune system to fail. Ulcers can begin to form and weaken the heart, which can eventually lead to heart at-tacks and strokes.
Some tips the pamphlet provided to manage stress are to learn to accept what
cannot be changed, try to be happy with a performance that was less than satisfactory, learn how to organize time and prioritize tasks by their importance. The pamphlet’s tips also recommended to eliminate solu-tions that can further impair one’s health, recognize short-term solutions as short-term solutions and learn the body’s signs of stress so they can be controlled.
The pamphlet said it is also very im-portant to keep the body healthy by eating well, getting plenty of sleep and exercising regularly.
Another important tip in stress man-agement provided by Shefferman at the ZRUNVKRS�ZDV� WR�FKRRVH�EHWZHHQ�ÀJKW�RU�ÁLJKW��6RPHWLPHV�KLGLQJ�DQJHU�FDQ�EH�PRUH�stressful than showing it, but it is important to choose battles that are worth it.
Chest breathing, which is caused by the ERGLHV� ¶ÀJKW�RU�ÁLJKW·� UHVSRQVH�DQG�RIWHQ�by stress, can quickly lead to hyperventi-lation. Through chest breathing there is not enough carbon dioxide in the blood and can result in nausea, irritability, light-headedness, confusion, anxiety and muscle twitching.
Chest breathing requires the body to work harder than it does during diaphrag-matic, or belly, breathing to bring the same amount of oxygen into blood cells.
“I think that for these techniques to work the person has to want them to work. It’s a mind over body situation,” said Ashlyn Adams, a freshman secondary education theatre art major.
The point of mindfulness, Shefferman said, is to be fully aware of present experi-ences, no matter what they might be. The seven principles of mindfulness are non-judging, patience, beginner’s mind, trust, non-striving, acceptance and letting go.

Walking through the
University Center is part
of a lot of students’ usual
routines, but last week the
same old route had a very
different view. There were
colors, familiar game faces
and rows of pottery being
displayed with lines of stu-
dents ready to buy them.
Art students had the
opportunity of presenting
their art work last week on
the lower level of the Uni-
versity Center.
The mini-exhibition was
hosted all week, Monday
through Friday. The gala
hosted two main types of
art, which were print and
clay pieces from the two
departments on campus.
The art pieces were ab-
stract and unique. They
VHHPHG�WR�EH�D�UHÁHFWLRQ�RI�each individual artist con-
tributing to the gala, such
as with artist Hyuk Chang,
a sophomore art major with
a drawing emphasis.
Chang explained that
RQH�RI�KLV�GUDZLQJV�UHÁHFW-ed the past trauma he expe-
rienced as a child, and his
success in overcoming bul-
lying. Chang said he most
enjoys pen and ink art, and
he draws what comes to
mind.
Not only were these
pieces available for pur-
chase to the people fre-
quenting the University
Center, it was an opportu-
nity for students to display
their talents and show the
public and peers their hard
work and accomplished
pieces.
“It is rewarding, and this
is what I work towards all
year. It is really interesting
to hear feedback, especially
when we are isolated in the
studio,” said Michelle Sil-
verstein, a senior art educa-
tion major.
The art sale is a way for
students to get credit for the
work they put in their piec-
es, and they also have the
opportunity to sell them.
Taking full ownership
of their art, the students
choose the price for their
work.
Jimmy Ferrari, who has
a specialty in making his
own creation of naked lady
cups, sold all 30 of his piec-
es by the end of the week.
The senior and art educa-
tion major explains why he
is a part of the art sale every
year.
“It is a really great feel-
ing because the campus
does not understand the art
till I am able to explain my
creation. It’s a celebration
of hard work,” Ferrari said.
The student artists also
offered ways to make fram-
ing the art convenient for
buyers by offering bundle
deals.
“I had someone buy a
three pack of my Super Ma-
rio mushroom paintings,”
senior art major Steven
Josephson said. “I painted
the standard red and green
ones, and I decided to add
a yellow one because it
looked cool. But yeah, buy-
ing a frame through us is a
great way to save money
and time because we’ll
even frame it for you.”
Frames included dif-
ferent stlyes, shapes and
styles.
Even all the pottery and
ceramics were made with
convenience in mind be-
cause all of the items were
dishwasher and microwave
safe.
The art sale is hosted
twice a year at the end
of each semester, and the
surrounding community is
invited to see the wide va-
riety of art pieces.

Breathe Carolina album twitter competition a success for twoStaff [email protected]
Last week The Mirror announced a competi-
tion to win a copy of Breathe Carolina’s latest
album “Savages.”
What contestants had to do was submit a
band name to The Mirror’s Twitter account.
It was suggested that the name have something
to with Colorado, but that was not a require-
ment.
$IWHU�JRLQJ� WKURXJK�DOO� WKH�HQWULHV�� WKH�ÀUVW�winning name chosen was “Mountain Virtue,”

The second band name to win was “Sugges-

“May the fourth be with you,” was a common Face-book status on Sunday as pun-happy fans took to social media to celebrate 6WDU� :DUV� 'D\�� DQ� XQRIÀ-cial celebration of general nerd-dom. Nowhere was that sentiment more rel-evant than at The Crvsh Room, where UNC senior visual communication and design major Kyle Starrett had hung a vividly-drawn, colorful portrait of Darth Vader as part of the Seniori-tis Art Show.
“I didn’t plan for the fourth,” Starrett told The Mirror in a phone inter-view. He said the coinci-dental portrait of the Sith lord, along with two simi-lar portraits hung next to it, were inspired by Andy
Warhol’s work on iconic ÀJXUHV�RI�KLV�WLPH��
As the name suggests, the Senioritis show mostly features the work of UNC seniors. Student artist Elle Levy, whose portion of the show included large and small drawings inspired by ÀFWLRQDO� HOHPHQWV� UDQJLQJ�from familiar fairy tales to WKH� ����� ÀOP� ´7KH� /LWWOH�Rascals,” organized the show and selected her fel-low students to hang along-side her work.
Although the artists did not coordinate the show to-gether, each artist’s work ZDV� ÀOOHG� ZLWK� HQRXJK�bright colors, ironic state-ments and cameos from famous cartoon and pop culture character to weave together to make the show look cohesive and polished.
“This a last hurrah for all of us,” said Carolyn
O’Brien, a senior majoring in graphic design. Her con-tributions to the show were woodcuts mostly done this spring. Her style is bold black lines on white back-grounds, but she said she chose pieces for the show that showed more range and that she thought might sell well.
“I did my piece ‘Orchid’
for my mom,” she said about a purple and blue woodcut of three orchids. ´6KH�MXVW�ORYHV�ÁRZHUV��,W·V�representative of the beauty and simplicity in all of us.”
Marquise Netters, a se-nior art and design major, also used his part of the show to display his repre-sentation of beauty with pieces titled “She A Beat Up Queen” and “Beat Up Drag Queen,” featuring queens in makeup and hair, EXW�ZLWK�WLUHG�H\HV�DQG�ÀYH�o’clock shadows.
“There’s a glamour and juxtaposition there that’s fun to show,” Netters said. “If you ask anyone, I do faces. And I love my char-acters.”
Katrina Parsons, an art education major with an emphasis in design, said she chose multimedia piec-es that most represented
KHUVHOI�WR�GLVSOD\�DW�KHU�ÀUVW�art show outside of the uni-versity.
“There’s a portrait of an elderly woman. I’ve cared for the elderly a lot in my life; that’s been my job through college. That one is probably the most ‘me’ because it’s about seeing past the face and seeing the person.”
Parsons will graduate LQ� 'HFHPEHU� DIWHU� IXOÀOO-ing her student teaching requirement. She plans to move to Alaska and work as an art educator there.
“This show was a great opportunity to work with other artists, which we’ll all be doing from here on out. It’s a start to a journey of collaborative art,” she said.
Netters said he hopes to continue working in Gree-ley, as well as other cities in Colorado. His work will be
on display on Friday at the “Pancakes and Booze” art show in Denver.
O’Brien said she hopes to use her art degree and business minor to break into a career in advertising and work as an art director.
Starrett said he plans to continue to hone his de-sign skills by obtaining a MRE�ZLWK�D�GHVLJQ�ÀUP��+H�also said he will continue to work on his clothing label.
Tom Saunders, Mateo Rodriguez, Sarah Huizar, Teddy-Jacob Asuncion and Manny Perez were also fea-tured in the show.

Art and a show: “Til Dance do us part” and silent auctionNatasha [email protected]
A good cause and a
show. Anyone who went
on Saturday to the Atlas
Theater, which hosted two
showings of “Til Dance Do
Us Part,” got to watch an
original play and bid for art
in a silent auction all in the
same event.
The play is a musical
production set in the seem-
ingly timeless era of the
suburban 1950s. All of the
actors were UNC students.
The story is centered
around a suburban couple
planning a vacation for two
weeks aboard a cruise. But,
as it turns out, the main
character, Harvey (played
by Jake Brumley), is afraid
of dancing, a theme which
persists through the play.
“The title is particularly
funny because it’s about
this guy Harvey, who is ter-
ULÀHG� RI� GDQFLQJ�� DQG�� VR��when his wife suggests they
go on a cruise—which of
course includes dancing—
and he decides instead of
facing his fears, he decides
to fake his own death,” said
Eric Pashia, a UNC mu-
sic student and the show’s
composer. “So it’s kind of
a dark comedy in that way.
So we thought ‘Til Dance
do us Part’ was getting all
we want across.”
Later, as Harvey and his
reluctant therapist conspire
on his plan, the whole situ-
ation turns ironic as Har-
vey’s neighbor convenient-
ly dies in the same way that
Harvey plans to fake his
own death.
The neighbor dies by
falling off a ladder while
À[LQJ� VRPHWKLQJ� LQ� WKH�house.
When Harvey attempts
his faked death, he only
ends up with a broken an-
kle and having to go on the
cruise any way. There was
no dancing, however, much
to his relief.
And with this, the show
ends.
Pashia said that, from
VWDUW�WR�ÀQLVK��WKH�SOD\�WRRN�about two years to create.
“We started in Novem-
ber 2012 with nothing, but
I knew I wanted to do a mu-
sical. But then I reached out
to the English department
and we got Ariana (Con-
way), and we kind of went
IURP� WKHUH� DIWHU� RXU� ÀUVW�meeting.”
Ariana Conway was
hired on as the librettist for
the show. The librettist is
the person who writes the
words to an opera.
“So we met, we had no
story ideas, brainstormed
a bunch together and ul-
timately decided on ‘Til
Dance do us Part,’” Con-
way said. “I loved seeing
the visual come together,
that was really important to
me.”
Conway also said she
loved seeing the musical
jokes Pashia was able to
work into the show, which
she said she felt went hand
in hand with the script.
Because of Conway’s
writing style, which includ-
ed a lot of wordplay and the
creation of a few words a la
Shakespeare to create sub-
tle jokes, Pashia said that
Conway’s contributions to
the writing were his favor-
ite parts of the show.
“I always think that if
the lines aren’t delivered
H[DFWO\� KRZ� WKH\·UH� ZULW-ten, it’s not going to be as
funny. So it’s great to see
the wit and the humor that
she injected into the script,”
Pashia said.
While the production
was going on, there was a
silent art auction, with all
art created by UNC stu-
dents. All proceeds went to
the Weld County Boys and
Girls Club.
Cassius Vasquez | The MirrorAll art was donated by anonymous artists from Arts Collab-orative, a club on UNC’s campus. Bidding began at $5 and in-creased by $5 at each bid. People provided their names and phone numbers next to a price to big on an item.

Oak Room and Mariani art galleries come to a close with a repeat best in showAntonio [email protected]
Picture after picture, sculpture after painting and portrait after drawing, it was easy to get lost in the amount of stories being told in the Mariani Art Gallery in Guggenheim Hall.
The student award cere-mony and closing reception of the 2014 UNC Annual Juried Student Show took place last Wednesday, and the event displayed artwork by artists, students, staff and the community.
Michael A. “Chip” Coronel has been a profes-sor for the Art and Design school for 38 years.
“It’s nice to see how full the gallery is this year. So many great pieces by stu-dents,” Coronel said. He said he was proud of what his students had achieved this school year, and that he thinks the annual showcase offers students a much-
needed opportunity to see each other's work.
“They spend so much time focusing on their own. It’s nice for them to look around and see how cre-ative and talented they are,” Coronel said.
The pieces are submitted to the juror for a small fee, and then the juror and com-mittee select which pieces will be in the gallery. Some pieces will be bought and
displayed by the director and dean.
“This gallery is an amaz-ing opportunity for the stu-dents to build their portfo-lios,” Coronel said. “The gallery owner may choose to buy some pieces as well and display them in Den-ver, which would be great for an artist’s resume.”
Categories for the awards included ceramics, computer graphics, draw-
ing, graphic design, paint-ing and "Best in Show."
Several students said WKLV�ZDV� WKH�ÀUVW� WLPH� WKH\�submitted their art for the gallery, but for Cameron Barker, a senior art educa-tion major and the "Best in Show" winner, it was a humble return to the top.
“It’s a surreal feeling to win this award again. I don’t even know what to say,” Barker said.
When asked about his "Best in Show" winning SLHFH��KH�ZDV�VSHFLÀF�DERXW�his process.
“I feel that all aspects of art have meaning, and the canvas is usually over-shadowed,” he said. “I wanted to carve into the wood. Let it tell a story, as well. The painting was an intimate process because I have personal connection to the models. Ultimately, I wanted to give the audience something to relate to.”

Rachel Akey, a junior speech pathology major, had one piece in the gallery. It was an acrylic painting called “Grandfather,” and she said she was happy to share a sentimental memo-ry with everyone.
“I was inspired to make it based off a photograph of my grandpa the night I graduated from high school,” Akey said. “This
painting probably took about 18 total hours, and I am very pleased with it. I wanted to convey his hap-piness and pride that night. $OVR��DV�D�VLGH�QRWH��KH�ÁHZ�in all the way from Califor-nia.”
The Oak Room gal-lery also featured art from students from entry-level courses. Both galleries came to a close on Satur-day, but students can view more of the art displayed in WKH�'HDQV�RIÀFH���

Ethridge graduat-ed from the Universi-ty of Texas, where she was an All-American point guard under hall-of-fame coach Jody Conradt. Eth-ridge began coach-ing alongside Jane Albright at Northern Illinois University.
7KH� ÀUVW� WR� VSHDN�at Ethridge’s intro-duction was UNC president Kay Nor-ton. She warmly wel-comed Ethridge to the university’s bas-ketball program.
“We are very, very excited about her agreeing to join our athletic family,” Nor-ton said.
Athletic director Darren Dunn also welcomed Ethridge. He spoke about the SURFHVV� RI� ÀQGLQJ�an outstanding new
coach after former head coach Jaime White left to become the head coach at Fresno State University.
“We made hundreds of phone calls and talked to many people throughout the wom-en’s basketball community and we were really pleased with the high level of the candidate pool we had and the interest in our program,” Dunn said. “But during the process, it was very obvious that there was one person who stood out among everybody else, from day one.”
Dunn said Ethridge is the perfect person to lead the women’s basketball program into a
bright future.A smiling Ethridge took the podium and
was greeted with lively and wholehearted ap-plause.
“I’m thrilled to be here,” Ethridge said. “I’m thrilled to be the women’s basketball coach at Northern Colorado.”
(WKULGJH� VDLG� WKH� URDG� WR� KHU� ÀUVW� KHDG�coaching position has been a long one, and she had many people to thank for helping her to get here, including retired University of Texas coach Chris Plonsky, hall-of-fame coach Jody Conradt, hall-of-fame coach Jim foster and Jane Albright.
“I think about those people and I go, ‘Man, if I just have a tiny bit of all of those people, you know, a lot of good things are going to happen for this program and we’re going to win a lot of games,’” Ethridge said.
Ethridge said she respects Jaime White’s development of UNC’s women’s basketball program, and looks forward to building on it in the future. She said her dream is to grow the team’s fan base and to make women’s basket-ball games “the place to be.”
“I just can’t wait to get more involved in the university,” Ethridge said. “I can’t wait to engage with the faculty and the peers and to be at games and to support this place and to become a member of Greeley and this com-munity.”
Ethridge is ready and willing to effectively lead the team through the tough transition pro-cess.
“Yesterday they told me they felt like or-phans, so it just felt good to belong again,” Ethridge said. “We may not like each other all the time, but we belong to each other now.”
Ethridge said she is bringing competitive-ness, a work ethic and a will to win to the UNC Bears.
“I won’t settle,” Ethridge said. “I don’t want to settle for less than we’re capable of being.”

With series win, softball moves on to Big Sky tournamentSamantha [email protected]
A 17-5 loss in the last game of a three-
game series may not have been the way the
UNC softball team wanted to send their
seniors off, but Southern Utah University
took the lopsided win in six innings, pre-
venting the Bears from completing their
weekend sweep Saturday.
The tempo Friday was much different
than Saturday for the University of North-
ern Colorado (20-32, 11-7 Big Sky). The
Bears won both games in Friday’s double
header against Southern Utah University
��������������������LQ�ÀYH�LQQLQJV�DQG�����in nine, respectively.
In the bottom of the seventh inning of
the second game, the Bears were trailing
5-1, and senior pitcher Megan Wilkinson
ZDV�WKH�ÀUVW�WR�VWHS�LQWR�WKH�EDWWHU·V�ER[�“I just wanted to set a good tone for our
offense that inning, and I knew if I had a
good at bat that my teammates would fol-
low,” Wilkinson said.
Wilkinson doubled to center, and fresh-
man Emily Holtz entered the game to pinch
run for the pitcher. Freshman shortstop Eri-
ca Dick hit a double to get Holtz home, and
narrowed SUU’s lead to three.
With the score 5-4, junior utility Mi-
kayla Duffy stepped into the box. Duffy
evened up the score to go into extra innings
with a home run over the fence in center.
“I knew my bat wasn’t as hot has it’s
been in the game. My team did a great job
JHWWLQJ� RQ� EDVH� DQG� ÀJKWLQJ�� DQG� ,� VDLG��‘This time I’m going to do it for the team,’
and made sure it was just a poke some-
where,” Duffy said. “I got a home run,
which was nice.”
Duffy ended the day 4-for-7, with a walk
and two RBIs, including the game winner.
'XII\�GURYH�LQ�MXQLRU�RXWÀHOGHU�-DLF\�6XWDN�to clinch the second game.
Wilkinson had the win in both of Fri-
GD\·V� JDPHV� DQG� D� FRPSOHWH� ÀUVW� JDPH��ending with a Bears’, 9-1, win. After 4.1
innings, Wilkinson replaced senior Bree-
anna Holliday. Wilkinson didn’t allow any
more runs, threw two strikeouts and gave
up three hits in her 4.1 innings.
The Bears began Saturday’s game by
honoring seniors Wilkinson and Holliday.
The Bears also presented each of the Thun-
derbird seniors with a single red rose.
Following the ceremonies, it was time to
play ball, and Southern Utah’s offensive at-
tack led to the lopsided loss after an eight-
run seventh inning where the ball managed
to get through UNC’s defense, leaving the
Bears struggling to get an out. After fresh-

“I give credit to their hitters,” head coach
Shana Easley said. “They were swinging
their bats today and we weren’t able to get
it done in the circle and on defense.”
Wilkinson had the loss in Saturday’s
affair, giving up six hits and just as many
runs. She was relieved by Holliday in the
second inning after giving up SUU’s sec-

she said. “My dad texted me today and
said, ‘Today’s a new day,’ and that helped
me a lot.”

UPC got this idea from the original Color Run or-ganization that was found-ed in 2012 to promote happiness and health in the United States.
It has become the largest event of its kind, which is why UPC wanted to have
their own version of the 5K run.
“It’s for our cam-pus to get active and to have fun with something that people would enjoy,” Porter said. “We originally had room for 100 students, EXW� LW� ÀOOHG� XS� UHDOO\� IDVW��So we opened it up to 150, and since we moved
the day back a week because of the weather, we were unsure if people would come. But we have a good amount of people here.”
