Hey, Macklemore, can you come to UNC?

What? What? What? What?What? What? What? What?Yes, thatʼs right. Heʼs coming.The hottest name in music

right now will grace the stage at Butler-Hancock this semester in what will clearly be a concert to remember.

Macklemore s̓ “Thrift Shop” has had the No. 1 spot on the iTunes top single list for several weeks now and his latest album, “The Heist,” has remained steady in the top-10 albums. In other words, University Program Council, you hit a home run with this one.

The entire student body should recognize how big a deal this is. For somebody at UPC to have the foresight that Macklemore would reach worldwide popularity by the time the spring concert came around is nothing short of incred-ible. We all owe the people be-hind this accomplishment a round of applause and thanks for their surely tiring efforts.

Some around campus have

voiced their displeasure with the choice, though, arguing that “Thrift Shop” is tacky and has been overplayed on the radio and has gotten somewhat annoying.

Admittedly, it has been played a bit too much on the radio, es-pecially when the edited version isnʼt nearly as entertaining. But thereʼs a very simple solution this gripe: Go listen to his other songs.

A quick glance through his previous albums will introduce people to Macklemore songs that arenʼt as popular as “Thrift Shop,” but should be. Not all of his musi-cal endeavors are tacky.

Sure, “Fake ID” is relatively tasteless, but itʼs pretty entertain-ing to hear him retell the story of how a bouncer caught him cheat-ing the system, thus ending his reign as “the man/ Buying the contraband with a fake (expletive) hologram.” But go fi nd “Oth-erside” and listen to the warn-ing about how people should be mindful of how destructive drugs can be; go fi nd “Love Song” and

hear him preach about how com-forting an intimate relationship is with lyrics like, “And if your life truly fl ashes in front of you/When you die just know/The best time of my life has been lovin ̓you.”

Itʼs safe to say Macklemore isnʼt like most rappers. He has a playful side to his music but can take a more serious approach to his lyrics. His songs arenʼt always about drugs, women, money and the like. Hopefully he shows his deeper intellectual side on March 3 so attendees who have pigeon-holed his music see a different Macklemore than they may have expected.

Being that “The Heist” has ab-solutely blown up, we can prob-ably expect a playlist loaded with songs from that album. If “Thrift Shop” has become too tired for you, “Same Love,” “Wing$” and “Canʼt Hold Us” might do the trick.

Macklemoreʼs songs truly display how dynamic he can be. “Same Love” voices his open-mindedness about gay marriage;

“My Oh My” displays a wealth of pride in his hometown of Seattle; “Wing$” illustrates the tragedy of people being killed for a pair of Michael Jordanʼs sneakers.

If it happens that Macklemore has not stolen your musical heart, no hard feelings. Stay home and listen to something else that is more your style.

But if you plan on attending UNCʼs grandiose spring concert, get your tickets early because theyʼll be “limited edition/Letʼs do some simple addition,” consid-ering Macklemoreʼs meteoric rise up the pop charts, there will be potential ticket-buyers left with-out admittance. Butler-Hancock can only house so many wildly screaming students.

Thank you again to UPC for providing us with this form of en-tertainment. I know it will be well worth it, or, if you prefer, it will be — to borrow a phrase — “F-ing awesome.”

Comcast’s monopoly on cable enables sub-par customer service

The Mirror Refl ections are the opinion of The Mirror’s editorial board : Parker Cotton, Samantha Fox, Shimon Lidmark, Conor McCabe and Jaisee Starr. Email letters to the editor to [email protected].

[email protected]

For three years I have been a loyal customer to Com-

cast. Since I moved to Greeley, I have used Com-cast for both cable and Internet services. Never have I been so wronged by any type of service provider.

The more I investigate reasons why my bill rises

around $5 to $10 a month, the more I become frus-trated. One would assume that a company would cater to both new custom-ers and older customers. Instead, Comcast only provides deals to attract newer customers, much as an angler fi sh hangs a bright light to attract un-wary prey.

I see Comcast as a cable monopoly. Yes, one is able to obtain Dish Network or Direct TV for some very low prices; however, these two are not cable services. They may provide televi-sion and Internet services, but the fact is that Comcast

is the most abundant yet untrustworthy provider.

I cannot afford Di-rect TV on my own and am seriously considering transferring my Internet services to another pro-vider. Iʼm at my last straw of tolerance.

My bill has been so er-ratic the past three months because I was neither noti-fi ed that Comcast thought it was right to not bundle my services and save a loy-al customer some money, nor was I notifi ed that my bill would be increasing because specials have run their course. Where is the customer service? Where

is the common courtesy? It is nonexistent.

Calling Comcast to in-quire about your increased bill, problems or discuss-ing downgrading services requires nearly an hour of your time. I assume this wait is either to deter un-happy customers and pre-vent them from canceling or that there is such a large number of dissatisfi ed customers that the phone lines are so tied so that the waiting list resembles the line at the DMV.

I do not understand why the customer service is such an abomination. Comcast is purely inter-

ested in attracting new customers rather than keeping the ones they cur-rently have.

The only way to lightly sweeten a sour deal after your specials run out is to threaten to switch to an-other provider. You might get something, but the chances are that you will be back to square one of your problems with them after a few weeks have passed.

Broadcast journalism students at UNC donʼt just have to attend classes in order to master their fi eld. They have the ability to join a real-world news studio, and they only have to go as far as Candelaria Hall.

Bear News, the televi-sion news organization run

by UNC students, can be seen every Thursday on cable channel 98 and on YouTube shortly after be-ing aired.

“Our mission is to cover anything that affects the campus community,” said Dale Edwards, news di-rector for the show and an associate professor of journalism and mass com-munications. “Not only just

things on campus but things that affect campus, as well. For example, we did a story (Thursday) on fracking and that may not be a story about campus, (but) it defi -nitely affects it.”

Edwards continued by explaining the difference in staff during the fall and spring semester.

“In the fall, it is run as a club, and in the spring, it runs as a class that I teach,” Edwards said. “Anyone can join and volunteer as to help out the club but the class is a majors-only class.”

Edwards brings 15 years of broadcast experience and eight years of teaching to the program in his efforts to improve societyʼs future journalists. Even though Edwards is the director, Bear News is student-run and produced.

Bear News is more than

just fi nding and reading off the news. Itʼs a fun way to gain experience for the people involved. Many of the crew members, from the people behind the camera to those on the desk, all show interest in pursuing jobs in broadcast journalism.

Junior Paul Ford is the chief meteorologist for Bear News and said he is enjoying what he wants to do while working with friends.

“I just really enjoy the people — itʼs like a fam-ily atmosphere,” said Ford, who majors in journalism and meteorology. “Itʼs just really good experience for us because itʼs really hard to get this experience anywhere. Being an on-screen meteorologist — it has been my dream since I was little.”

Megan Pressler, one of the news anchors, has been a part of Bear News for four semesters.

“I love Bear News be-cause I learn a lot,” Pressler said. “I learn a lot from my teachers, I learn a lot from my coach, workers and even fellow classmates. I mean, you get to per-fect and get ready for the real world.”

Bear News offers the fi rst-hand experience stu-

dents need that makes them so valuable to potential employers.

“I want to be a lead an-chor for a large news sta-tion, and one day be the face of the station, and I feel like Bear News helps me a lot in reaching that goal,” Pressler said.

Behind the camera even, students make everything look and sound the best it can. Senior journalism major Raymond Ndjonok-Tonye is working with Bear News as a part of a class, and he said heʼs thoroughly enjoyed his time there.

“Itʼs my fi rst year being a part of Bear News, and so far I have been able to go

out and fi nd jobs and help out with the technical part, as well,” he said.

Ndjonok-Tonye, among many others, is proof Bear News can help when apply-ing for internships and fu-ture jobs as it gives students valuable experience.

“I am currently in an internship with Fox, and it has been an awesome ex-perience,” Ndjonok-Tonye said. “What I have learned at Bear News has benefi ted me greatly.”

Students interested in watching this weekʼs broadcast can tune in early Thursday evening to chan-nel 98 or check YouTube a few hours later.

The campus community recognized the beginning of Black History Month Thursday with a speech by Hermon George, a profes-sor of Africana Studies, fol-lowed by a reception at the Marcus Garvey Cultural Center.

An audience of about 30 people gathered in the Col-umbine Suite at the Univer-sity Center to hear George speak about black history in America, a speech offering a compelling alternative to the skewed American his-tory indoctrinated in the masses.

With unadulterated ob-jectivity, George spoke can-didly about the shortfalls of the Emancipation Procla-mation and the untold big-otry of famous Americans

such as William Faulkner, Union General George Custer and Abraham Lin-coln — an outspoken sepa-ratist prior to the Civil War.

For many people in at-tendance, Georgeʼs speech painted a new picture of American history.

“I really like what (George) had to say about Lincoln,” said Megan Erlich, a freshman speech pathology major. “I had no idea. It defi -nitely brought a whole new perspective to things.”

Erlich wasnʼt the only one coming away with a new perspective about Americaʼs past.

“I had no idea Thomas Jefferson owned slaves,” said Ben Brown, an art edu-cation major.

In 1926, black historian Carter G. Woodson, along with the Association for the Study of Negro Life

and History, designated the second week of February as “Negro History Week.” Woodsonʼs hope was that a week of recognition would eventually end the dichot-omy of black history and American history, as people would come to recognize them as one and the same.

In 1976, the federal government formally rec-ognized “Black History Week” and extended it to a full month. It seems the best way for any person to observe Black History Month is by taking the time to learn the true history of race in America.

“From my experience, I wasnʼt really taught Afri-can-American history,” said TyʼRay Thompson, director of the Marcus Garvey Cul-tural Center. “There were so many African-Ameri-can people who did a lot

of great things, and I didnʼt know about them.”

Throughout Georgeʼs talk, he emphasized how much black people have shaped the United States over time.

“I think that (Black His-tory Month) has grown to represent the central role that African-Americans played in the founding of this country,” he said. “And all the questions associated with that are still impor-tant, still needing to be ad-dressed, still deserving of an airing and accounting by the nation.”

The election of Barack Obama in 2008 and again 2012 was a historic step toward overcoming racial inequality in America. Still, the road to true equality stretches on.

“If Americans open their eyes, they will see that

there is a lot of work to be done,” George said. “After all, when the Civil Rights Movement destroyed Jim Crow, it was not one per-

Steve Martin’s comedy pairs Einstein, PicassoCarlie [email protected]

Picasso and Einstein meet in a bar. It sounds like the start to a witty joke, right?

That is because it is the premise of Steve Martinʼs “Picasso at the Lapin Ag-ile,” which director Ken Womble is bringing to Norton Theatre Feb. 7-8 and 12-16 at 7:30 p.m., and Feb. 9-10 and 17 at 2 p.m.

The play is set in Paris circa 1904, the historical setting of Picassoʼs Cub-ism revolution and Ein-steinʼs theory of relativity.

“(Itʼs) a thinking per-sonʼs comedy,” Womble said, explaining why he chose this play. “(Itʼs) very unique. It has Steve Martinʼs sense of humor.”

The promise of a cer-tain brand of humor was enough for some students to say they will attend a showing.

“I would go see it be-

cause it is witty comedy,” said Alberto Gonzalez, a freshman pre-nursing ma-jor. “Witty comedy is the best.”

The play revolves around intellectual topics, but audiences do not need to have a deep under-standing of relativity or Picassoʼs art to enjoy the show. Martin took com-plicated concepts, broke them down for the com-mon man and added his own touch of humor.

The University of Washingtonʼs “The Daily” described Martinʼs humor and his creation by say-ing, “It at fi rst appears to be ridiculous until you re-alize that it has unraveled something so complex, the process of reduction is brilliant.”

That said, Womble ex-plained that if one has a basic understanding of Cubism and relativity go-ing in, it will “enhance the experience.”

The characters sit and

discuss what life might be like at the beginning of the 20th century, which causes the audience to re-fl ect on its own reality and how the future came to fruition. Looking back on how two geniuses hoped society would evolve posits compelling and rel-evant questions to modern audiences.

Freshman psychology major Scott Rice said he is looking forward to the play.

“It will be interesting to see how the two interact,” Rice said.

Einstein, Picasso and the various characters they meet at the Lapin Agile weave a tale that will be both intellectually stimu-lating and hilarious.

“It will make you think but in a good way,” Wom-ble said.

Tickets are $9 for UNC students. Adult themes run throughout the play, so it is not recommended for children.

Meyers transforms students into die-hard fans a twist. He found the card the audience member had picked originally inside of a lemon.

Some of his humor was inappropriate and a little immature, but all of it was well-received and kept the audience entertained.

“I call this one my ex-girlfriend shuffl e,” he said when showing different ways to shuffl e cards. “Looks good but does nothing.”

Some of Meyers ̓tricks were scary for the helpers selected from the audi-ence, but he joked that they should trust him because he “went to Hogwarts.”

Many hesitant students

were charmed by his con-versational jokes seam-lessly integrated into his magic tricks.

“My favorite part was

the end because he start-ed out by saying that he wasnʼt going to tell the audience a sappy story like other magicians do at

the end of their acts,” said Kendryn Gates, a fresh-man English major. “His story was that he never saw snow when he was a kid. The trick was that he had all these pieces of paper that seemingly came out of nowhere and they fl oated all around the room. It was pretty cool.”

Other students who at-tended the event said that it was the most entertain-ing show that they have seen recently.

“The only bad thing about this event was that I got here late,” said Marisa Roggensack, a sophomore elementary education ma-jor. “I only got to see about a half hour of it, but it was really funny and Joel Mey-

ers is really good-looking. Also, you donʼt really see magicians being really funny, as well, so that was really cool too.”

Other students thought Meyers ̓ fl oating table trick was the most inter-esting trick of the night.

“I thought the best trick and probably the most surprising one was the fl oating table,” said Kyra Trimble, a junior psychol-ogy major. “I was looking for a string and I couldnʼt fi nd any.”

The Winter Welcome wraps up at 8:30 p.m. Wednesday in the Uni-versity Center Ballrooms with the Winter Jam Con-cert, hosted by the Center for Peer Education.

Men’s basketball has success from bench in lossUNC junior guard Paul

Garnica fi nished with 11 points, making 3-of-5 3-pointers. Garnica tied ju-nior forward Emmanuel Addo for the most points on the team. Sophomore guard Tevin Svihovec fi nished second with 10 points on 4-of-8 shooting.

“I could kind of tell in warm-ups that we had some blank stares on guys ̓ faces,” Svihovec said. “Guys were com-plaining about not feeling well and stuff, but we just didnʼt come out ready to compete at all.”

The Bears were out-re-bounded 35-27 and shot 5-of-16 3-pointers, com-pared to the 15 they made in a win against Idaho

State on Thursday.In addition to Addo

and Garnica, the rest of the bench, including sophomore forward Bren-dan Keane and freshman guard Greg Tucker, had an effect on the game. Keane and Tucker each had fi ve points, showing why they deserved playing time.

“I thought Greg Tucker competed defensively at the way I want,” Hill said. “I thought Brendan Ke-ane did a couple of good things. He was not great defensively, but at least he was tough enough to get a catch and fi nish some shots on the inside.”

Svihovec also recog-nized the contributions of the players off the bench.

“I think Brendan al-

ways comes in and plays solid,” Svihovec said. “He knows his role, he knows his limits, he knows how to use his game. (Addo), heʼs talented and every-body knows heʼs pretty talented. He was aggres-sive, which is good, which he needs to be.”

Redshirt freshmen guard James Davis Jr. fi nished with six points and two assists and also expressed his disappoint-ment in the result.

“Regardless of how we play from half to half, if itʼs not a full game, we donʼt like it all,” Davis said. “It doesnʼt matter if I come off the bench and score 30 or if we lose by 30, itʼs the same thing. Itʼs a loss and it doesnʼt

feel good.”The Bears ̓next game

will be at 7:05 p.m. Thursday at conference-leading Montana (16-4, 12-0).

“Thereʼs nothing we

can do as of right now with the loss (Saturday), but weʼve just got to come back Monday, put in the work and, I think, really work defensively,” Svihovec said.

Tennis drops home openerTommy [email protected]

The season has just started for the UNC wom-enʼs tennis team, and after a loss in the season opener Friday against Colorado, the University of North-ern Colorado (0-2) faced a top-70 Stephen F. Austin University team Sunday morning and lost 6–1.

“Weʼre at a place where weʼre getting better,” as-sistant coach Mandy Pre-

uss said. “But weʼre still not where we need to be. We have work to do.”

Stephen F. Austin hails from Austin, Texas, and is not a member of the Big Sky Conference.

“Today was a good opportunity to see where weʼre at against a team that weʼve never played before,” Preuss said.

The Bears had only two victories, with freshman Claire Uhle collecting the

only singles victory with 6-1, 6-0 set scores.

UNC also managed a win at No. 3 doubles, with the junior team of Eliza-beth Tapia and Stepha-nie Caitlin winning 8-7, which came to a tiebreak-er, that UNC won 7-5. The doubles win did not give the Bears any points, since a school needs two of the three doubles teams to win to get the sole dou-bles point.

“It was an important match today,” Preuss said. “In the future, we need to play better than we did to-day.”

The Bears have another match scheduled against South Dakota State (0-3) at 9 a.m. Feb. 17 at Work Out West at 5699 W. 20th St. in Greeley before they play their fi rst intra-con-ference match against Montana (2-2, 1-0 Big Sky) at 1 p.m. Feb. 23, also at home.

UNC adds to Hall of FameSamantha [email protected]

From wrestlers to basketball players to in-spirational coaches, the 2013 Athletics Hall of Fame class was offi cial-ly inducted Friday at a reception in the Univer-sity Center Ballrooms.

There were seven in-dividual inductees and the 1988-89 menʼs bas-ketball team was also inducted as a group. The ceremony began by honoring former Athlet-ics Director Bob Oliver, who was elected to be part of the class of 2012 but was unable to attend the ceremony last year.

One honoree was a Bear for just a short time. Mike Pantoya wrestled from 1988-91 and was

a two-time NCAA Divi-sion II National Cham-pion at 134 pounds. Pantoya was inducted in 2001 by the NCAA Di-vision II Wrestling Hall of Fame.

The 1988-89 menʼs basketball team holds the only conference championship for UNC in the North Central Conference. The team went 24-6 overall and 14-4 in NCC play. Part of the Hall of Fame team was Toby Moser, who played for the Bears from 1986-90, and was also inducted Friday.

Moser was honored with First-Team All-Region and NCC All-Conference his senior season.

Jazz Faculty Quartet send sultry sounds into the airwaves Alexandria [email protected]

The UNC Jazz Faculty Quartet brought the best of Greeleyʼs musicians to the University Centerʼs Pan-orama room last Thursday.

The seasoned musicians and jazz experts explored potentials of jazz sounds with special guests in a performance called “Horn Players ̓Choice.”

The theme was in honor of the unusual addition of the trumpet, saxophone and trombone to the quartetʼs

music. The lively combi-nation of sounds blended together to create a conver-sational fl ow between the artists and their music.

The atmosphere pro-vided the feeling of sitting with friends around a din-ner table.

“The community spirit carries from the classroom to the performance,” said Dana Landry, the direc-tor of Jazz Studies and a professor of music. “Itʼs a matter of sharing the music between professors and stu-dents.”

The University of North-ern Coloradoʼs jazz instruc-tors not only inspire in the classroom on an almost daily basis but also fre-quently exhibit the levels of artistry and professionalism students should be working toward with their own per-formances.

“It was really differ-ent — a lot of their stuff had a more modern vibe, tonally,” said Kevin Miles, a junior jazz ma-jor. “But I liked it be-cause the faculty really made it swing and still

brought their own stuff to the table.”

The sounds were most certainly creative as reflected in one of the most inspiring pieces of the night, cleverly titled “Liquid Cake.” The sul-try sweet sounds were entirely inspired by the popular cake batter-fla-vored frozen yogurt.

“The tunes were crazy interesting,” said Adam Gilsdorf, a percussion jazz major. “It was high energy, and the faculty was just phenomenal all around.”

Women’s hoops wins big at Weber State

Trustee comes from business experience

Staff [email protected]

UNCʼs womenʼs basket-ball team ran its win streak to four games with a 65-47 victory Saturday at Weber State.

The Univer-sity of Northern Colorado (11-9, 8-3 Big Sky) was able to stretch a two-point half-time lead to a sec-ond half blowout on the strength of its defense, sur-rendering only eight points in the last 11:36 of the contest.

After Grace Farnsworth made two free throws to put her Wildcats (0-21, 0-12) on top 39-37, the Bears stepped up on defense, al-lowing Weber State only 1-of-12 shooting from the fi eld to close out the game. UNC also forced six turn-overs over the timespan, minimizing the number of Wildcat possessions.

The Bears were led by senior forward Lauren Oos-dyke, who poured in 22 points, sinking 10-of-13 shots from the fi eld. Oos-

dyke also snagged a team-high nine rebounds.

Senior guard Victoria Timm lent a helping hand, racking up a career-high 11 assists to go along with six points. As a club, the Bears tallied 21 helpers on the af-

ternoon.Leading We-

ber State was starting center Jalen Carpenter with 14 points, but she and for-ward Kalie Mat-thews were the only Wildcats to break into double digits, as Mat-

thews notched 13 points.As is common among

struggling teams, Weber State found little success in sharing the ball, recording only nine assists as a group, with no Wildcat dropping more than two dimes.

UNC sits at second place in the Big Sky behind only the Montana Grizzlies, who are 10-2 in conference. The ursine relatives square off at 7 p.m. Thursday at But-ler-Hancock Sports Pavil-ion. The bear brawl looms large as conference season is more than half through.

Denise St. Cyr has met

and shaken the hands of three United States presi-dents: Bill Clinton, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush. She has pictures of these momentous occa-sions hanging in her offi ce in Denver where she works for a Native American-owned company, CADDO Solutions.

A successful woman, with 27 years of business experience that includes working as the director of community relations for Qwest and currently an offi cer for UNCʼs Board of Trustees, St. Cyr has a story that inspires.

Her Native American name means “Bear Wom-an.” Her tribe from Win-nebago, Neb., is the Bear Clan. With strength and determination, St. Cyr, much like her name, has been a symbol of strength and prowess as she has worked to climb her way to the top in a world where discrimination and hate sought to keep her down.

She once turned down an offer from Joseph T. Colt to be paid to study at the JFK School of Govern-

ment at Harvard. Now, she refl ects on the moments that led her to become a successful woman and the people that inspired her along the way.

“I did not forsake my beliefs,” she said. “I did not feel I had to be any-body else.”

She grew up in a large family with sev-en siblings but without much money to go around.

“My family was poor,” St. Cyr said. “We couldnʼt afford lunch boxes or the cute dresses the other girls got to wear.”

She remembers being treated differently from her other classmates because of her background.

The instance that sticks out to her happened when she was 4 years old. She was sitting at the reading table with the other chil-dren, and St. Cyr, who had been very tired that day, accidentally dosed off at, and when the teacher no-ticed, she poured a pitcher of water on St. Cyrʼs head, a punishment that would not have been used on any-

one else.Despite the discrimina-

tion, St. Cyr said she never wanted to act like she was a victim, and this mindset helped her fi ght the nega-tivity she felt growing up.

Today, she advocates against such discrimina-tion and gives speeches for schools and the com-

munity, includ-ing Harvard. St. Cyr says she was excited and shocked when she received a phone call from the Governorʼs office asking her to be part of the Univer-sity of North-

ern Coloradoʼs Board of Trustees.

“I wanted to be in-volved in UNC because I really liked that the univer-sity has cultural centers,” said St. Cyr, who is also on the board of directors for the Rocky Mountain Indi-an Chamber of Commerce. “Itʼs so important for stu-dents to feel supported,”

While she was work-ing for Qwest, St. Cyr re-ceived a call from the di-rector of public relations. He wanted her to speak at Harvard to the Native

American students. St. Cyr recalls having dinner after the speech and being enamored as the director proclaimed that she had taught and inspired the students so much. She was then extended an offer to study at Harvard for free, but she felt that she had to turn down the offer.

“That was one year of my childrenʼs lives I would never get back,” said St. Cyr, who still feels that she has accomplished great feats and says she doesnʼt regret her decision.

She was recently named Mile High Leader of the Year, just another award to put on her extensive re-sumé.

St. Cyr still believes that discrimination is a problem in schools, only now she says it has gone underground. Cultural cen-ters have helped breached these negativities.

“If we want to move forward, we have to ac-cept and value people,” she said.

During last weekʼs Stu-dent Senate meeting, the Senate heard committee reports from the University Program Council, LEAF and the Restructuring Com-mittee.

The members then dis-cussed the upcoming elec-tion season and distributed funds to two organizations through the Organization Funding Board.

“It will be a brief intro-duction about the differ-ent programs and where the fees actually go,” said Oliver Bourne, director of fi nance. “Students will

then have the opportunity to speak on behalf of what-ever program they want.”

University Program Council Update

UPC held its second open mic night of the spring semester in the University Center lounge on Monday and announced it is also hosting a Valentines ̓ Mas-querade Ball Feb. 15.

Also discussed was the musician for the spring concert, which turned out to be Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, an announcement made Saturday at a magic show from comedian and illusionist Joel Meyers.

Though the announce-ment was still a few days away at the time of the Student Senate meeting, the anticipation was clearly palpable.

“It is starting to become very diffi cult to keep the artist a secret, but we are very excited for the show and announcement of the artist,” said Lauren Koppel, a UPC representative.

Election Season

As of last Friday, elec-tion packets are available for potential Senate candi-dates. The packets can be found at the Student Ac-tivities offi ce on the second

fl oor of the University Cen-ter and are due March 1.

In order for a candidate to be eligible to run, he or she must attend one of three candidate informa-tion meetings, which take place throughout the month of February. The dates of these meetings can be found in the Student Activi-ties offi ce.

OFB Update

Organization Funding Board proposals dominated most of the Senate meeting. The Student Senate fi rst heard from Japanese Lan-guage Club and approved funding for its annual Lu-

nar New Year Celebration, Monday Feb. 11 to ring in the Year of the Snake.

Doors to the UC Ball-rooms open at 5 p.m. and tickets cost $5 for students and $15 for faculty, staff and the general public.

“We are expecting around 500 people to be in attendance,” said Kai-tlyn Grigsby, treasurer of the Japanese Language Club. “We are very excit-ed about the Lunar New Year and happy with the amount we received to put on such a big event.”

Campus Crusade for Christ was the second group to present and will be hosting Justice Week

to raise awareness for human trafficking.

The week-long event will begin Feb. 25 and will include events on campus, a guest speaker and a film screening.

Student Senate con-cluded with reports from the College of Natu-ral and Health Scienc-es, which will host the Sweetheart Blood Drive from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Feb. 13 in the UC parking lot, as well as a meet-and-greet session with all the presidents and advisers of clubs within the college from noon-1:30 p.m. Feb. 23 in Gunter Hall confer-ence room 1120.

O. Kay Dalton served as head coach of the Uni-versity of Northern Colo-rado football team from 2000-2005 after serving as the offensive coordinator for 11 years. Former quar-terback Corte McGuffey (1996-99) introduced Dal-ton. McGuffey collected letters from former players, including one from Tony Lee, who was a safety for the Bears from 1998-01.

“Through (Dalton) I learned the value of tough love,” Lee wrote. “This is a tough, unforgiving world we live in, and there is no-body out there like Coach, and I will always be thank-ful for the no-nonsense, get it done, get out of my face mentality you brought ev-eryday. You made it hard, but you did it with love. You made sure we left this program as men.”

Once Dalton took to the podium, he refl ected on his time at UNC, sharing the story of how he came to UNC, following one season

with his alma mater, Colo-rado State, from 1987-88.

Dalton began working at UNC as the offensive coor-dinator in 1988. When for-mer head coach Joe Glenn was offered a job elsewhere, he asked Dalton to join him. Dalton declined and only had one thing to say.

“I will do all I can as an assistant to help you if you feel you can get a job, but I will not under any circum-stance leave UNC,” Dalton told Glenn. “I have fallen in love with this damn place. Itʼs my kind of place, and I will never leave.”

This is what landed him the head coach gig, where he had a 38-31 record be-fore being dismissed in 2005.

Dalton brought exten-sive coaching experience to UNC, a journey that started in 1958 and included stints at other Colorado universi-ties, the Canadian Football League and the NFL.

Inductee Mick Holmes may not have played under Dalton, but Holmes had his own success as an all-

purpose back whose name is still found in the UNC record books with top-20 statistics.

Another inductee with a lengthy resumé was Ruth Nelson, who earned four varsity letters in tennis and volleyball from 1966-70. Nelson coached volleyball at four different universities over the span of 20 years, and played and coached for the United States Olympic team and is the co-founder and president of Collegiate Athlete, Inc.

“Iʼve been able to come full-circle as a player, a coach, an innovator, a men-tor, as well as a teacher, a motivator and a visionary,” Nelson said. “One thing is for sure; : providing the best opportunities to athletes al-ways comes fi rst. It has pro-vided me purpose, a means to pay it forward. Thank you, University of North-ern Colorado, for providing me a solid foundation to fi ll my career and welcoming me into the Athletic Hall of Fame.”

Kiha Thomas Sutta

played for the womenʼs soccer team from 1998-00, starting during current head coach Tim Barreraʼs fi rst season. Sutta is now an assistant coach for the Air Force Academy. Prior to her current position, Sutta coached at the Univer-sity of Southern California

from 2006-07, when her team ended with an 11-5-5 record and appeared in the quarterfi nals of the NCAA championship tournament.

The inductees were also honored at halftime of the menʼs basketball game against Weber State Saturday.

The class of 2013 has many versatile players with different accomplish-ments, both during their time at UNC and after, but there is one common trait this class, and all previous and future classes have: Once a Bear, always a Bear.
