Klawz Around Campus By Amber Liddiard

The deadline to registerto vote is fast approachingas the race for 1600Pennsylvania Ave. heats up,and the University ProgramCouncil is partnering withNew Era Colorado to pro-vide students with an easyway to register before thedeadline of Oct. 9.

Bear Vote: VoterRegistration will be heldfrom 4-8 p.m. Sunday,Sept. 23 at South Hall withthe intent to inform stu-dents about the candidatesand issues on the ballotthis November. Studentscan also enjoy food, musicprovided by the UNCStudent Radio and gameswith the chance to winprizes.

“This is the first yearthat Bear Vote is occurringon campus,” said LaurenKoppel, a social and devel-opment coordinator forUPC. “It is a collaborativeevent between StudentSenate, UniversityProgram Council andHousing and ResidentialEducation to encourage

voter registration.”The University Center

ballrooms will provide stu-dents with a location tocast their votes on ElectionDay.

“On election day, theUniversity Centerbecomes a polling place,”Koppel said. “All of ourdifferent departmentsdecided to host voter reg-

istration events in orderto increase student civicinvolvement and empow-er students. Youth andstudent voters are incred-ibly important. We alsowanted to provide non-partisan opportunities forstudents to learn aboutvoting and register.”

Every election year,candidates face the diffi-cult task of motivatingstudents to register andactually vote. The demo-graphic in which studentsare classified tends tovote the least amount inthe general election.

“I don’t know if I’mgoing to vote in this elec-tion,” said sophomorespecial education majorAllanna Kotarski. “I don’treally know any of theissues, and I don’t knowwhere any of the candi-dates stand. I need to findout the issues and thestances of each of thecandidates before I eventhink about voting.”

Other students feelthey need to vote, but theydon’t really feel any con-nection or strong supportfor any of the presidentialcandidates.

“I know it is a really bigresponsibility to votebecause we’re young peopleand (voting) really doesaffect us and our future gen-erations the most,” saidSolomon Smith, a sopho-more biology major. “I’mgoing to end up voting, but Idon’t really like either of thecandidates.”

UPC to register students,other first-time voters

“This is the first year

that Bear Vote isoccurring on cam-pus. It is a collabo-

rative eventbetween Student

Senate, UniversityProgram Counciland Housing and

ResidentialEducation to

encourage voter reg-istration.

Calling all dreamers, calling allchasers, calling all night owls, lon-ers, outcasts, lovebirds, friends andforgotten. We’re talking to you.

This past Saturday was the firstday of autumn here in lovelyColorado.

It has been a while since we’vegotten to wear the other half of ourcloset, and my friends, the time ishere to don our warmer wardrobe.The leaves are changing, pumpkin-flavored everything has reachedthe shelves of every cupcakery, cof-fee corner and microbrewery. Cornmazes are opening in the comingweeks, and it’s about that time tostarting putting together your best

Halloween costume yet.It is finally time to pull out

cardigans, sweaters and scarves.The feeling of the cool breeze rush-ing, picking up leaves and placingthem on the sidewalk, to crunchunder your shoes is nothing shortof inspiring.

But how are you expected tosee all of these beautiful thingsbound to happen this autumn ifyou have your nose pressed upagainst your smartphone and yourears taken over by Carly Rae Jepsensinging “Call Me Maybe”?

Many of us get preoccupiedwith the new iOS 6 software,groundbreaking photography of

pets on Instagram and your bestfriend’s second cousin’s Facebookstatus voicing an overbearing polit-ical opinion.

We get so consumed by tech-nology and websites that we forgetto stop and take a look around us.What ever happened to being amember of a school, communityand supporting causes, friends,and our sports teams?

Did you know our volleyballteam is among the best, if not thebest, team in the Big SkyConference? Our Jazz Lab I bandhas won Grammy Awards for itsincredible talent. We have quite thebustling community of coffee

shops, churches, restaurants, andart galleries on 16th Street.

On this campus, we have morethan 100 student organizations,ranging from religious groups,Greek organizations, culturalgroups and intramural sportsteams. There is bound to be some-thing that tickles your fancy.

Lift your nose out of this paper.Look around you and see the col-ors of the trees changing beforeyour eyes, compliment the outfit ofthe girl walking by, feel the autumnbreeze on your face and smell thepumpkin spice. See somethingbeautiful, make somebody smileand enjoy this moment.

Autumn’s long-waited arrival: Notice something beautiful today

Mitt Romney’s “47 per-cent” comments havebeen blowing up the

Internet since the secretly tapedspeech hit the newswire last week.

The remarks and the firestormare completely separate issues fromone another, but each is intriguingin its own sense and deserving to bedissected independent of the other.

Here’s the recap in case yourpolitical knowledge is based entire-ly on the new Will Ferrell flick:Romney was recorded on tape say-ing that nearly half of the UnitedStates is not his concern becausethey do not pay income taxes due

to their occupational status andfamily situation. He said those peo-ple are practically guaranteed tovote against him.

The funny part of the whole sit-uation is that nothing he said wasparticularly incorrect. He’s rightthat there is a considerable portionof the country that is not taxed, andthat they are not likely to vote forhim. He certainly knows quite a bitabout taxes, having had some of histax activities called into question.

The main problem Romneyfaces after the quote is regainingsome of the votes he inevitably lostfrom the people who he wasdescribing. He singled out thosewho are retired, and I would ven-ture to say most of us have a con-servative-leaning grandparent ortwo. I doubt he lost those who werealready firmly in his camp, but hedid not do himself any favors in the

conservative demographic, as somehave questioned his competency torun an effective campaign.

The way that the Obama camphas taken this situation and runwith it has also changed the outlookof the coming election. Despite thepositivity the president’s supporterstout, the fact of the matter is thatthe operation is trying to use thecomments to run Romney’s cam-paign into the ground.

I had been fairly impressed withthe job Obama’s people did inavoiding smear ads (for the mostpart) until these particular quoteswere pasted all over the president’sadvertising campaign. The quoteshave been blown out of proportionin hopes of alienating potential vot-ers from Romney.

The measures taken by theObama campaign will certainlyturn some undecided voters away

from the GOP candidate.Exposing people to a quote asblunt as Romney’s is politicallyadvantageous. However, I can’thelp but think there are somepeople who would find the politi-cal strategy disappointing, com-ing from a campaign that haspreached positivity, hope andchange from its inception.

Both Romney’s statement andObama’s reaction to it have meshaking my head at the state ofpolitics in our country. The cyni-cism is frustrating, but it is alsoinevitable. My belief in the peoplemay be purely naïveté, but it isstill aflame, even with the dark-ness of skepticism closing in rap-idly to snuff it out.

The definableelements ofhuman nature

have long been a sourceof dispute. From theargument of human func-tion set forth by Aristotleto the more contempo-

rary theories of Hobbesand Locke, history hasfailed to determine a uni-versal standard for defin-ing what is innate in allhuman beings.

By no means do I con-sider myself at all quali-fied to render a final ver-dict on what is, in fact,human nature and whatis otherwise human con-ditioning. However, I willargue that curiosity andthe desire to experiencethe unfamiliar are funda-mental motivators ofhuman behavior.

Whether it is in thecontext of asking, “Howdid we get here?” or“Where are we going?”

the human race has longindulged in the mysteriesof the earth. Curiosity isthe adversary of an idlelife, and in the context oftravel, the principle cata-lyst of any journey.

In ordinary life, dayspass in cyclical revolu-tions, often trapping peo-ple in an idle existencewhere time moves for-ward while the mind andspirit wither in dormancy.

The French poetVictor Hugo said,“Idleness is the heaviestof all oppressions,” sug-gesting that a steadfastcommitment to a routinelifestyle hinders a per-son’s ability to evolve

and realize true freedom.Alas, our curious natureis what ultimately rescuesus from this monotonouscondition. Dissatisfiedand bored with routinelife, we begin to look out-ward for new experi-ences, and in doing so,open the door for arevival of mind and spirit.

My own curiousnature has lead me twiceto the sun-washed bar-rios of Nicaragua, onceon a 10-month workingtour of the United States,a relocation to Coloradoand now to a semesterabroad in Prague. Each ofthese excursions hasbeen paramount in my

personal developmentand my ability to thriveas an individual. It is dif-ficult to imagine the typeof person I would betoday without each ofthese valuable experi-ences.

Of course, I am not

superior to, or at all dif-ferent from, any otherstudent at UNC. I havesimply chosen toacknowledge my curiousnature and to embracethe opportunities givento me.

As you progressthrough the years of col-lege life, you will likelyfeel from time to timetrapped in an idle exis-tence of term papers,books and dauntingexams. In these times,you may feel the need tosuppress that curiousnature in order to staythe course and finish therace. Bear in mind, how-ever, that college is agateway to the wideworld, and your curiousnature will ultimatelycarry you as far as youwould like to go.

So go forth, seek ful-fillment in the unfamiliarand do not wait for aninvitation. The world iswaiting.

Atli Sveinsson is a

second-year master’sstudent from Iceland,and he and his teamrepresented Icelandon the field with talent,t-shirts and face paint.Sveinsson played inthe soccer cup lastyear, and decided tocome back again toplay this year.

“I played soccerwhen I was younger,and last year wasfun,” Sveinsson said.“It is awesome beinghere.”

Although domesticstudents were allowedto participate onlyinternational studentsjoined the fun thisyear. There were norestrictions on sex,

age or level of studies. This year, there

was one all femaleteam with membersfrom all over theworld. Team Brazildidn’t consist of anyplayers from Brazil,but they came togeth-er to play soccer andrepresent the countrythat they believe isthe best in the world.Team Brazil’s playersconsisted of studentsfrom Australia,Canada, Germanyand Ireland.

Chemistry studentsgathered Friday after-noon for a seminar fromBrain Leonard, a profes-sor of chemistry at theUniversity of Wyoming.They discussed hisresearch on synthesizingmetal carbides at lowertemperatures.

Leonard’s work focuseson fuel cells, which com-bine metals (metal car-bides) as catalysts to createless expensive metals andgenerate electricity. Heexplained how fuel cellscould power houses,hotels and cars. In the caseof the car, they can create50-60 percent fuel efficien-

cy. Such a car is currentlyin prototype, though it isnot yet cost-effective to sellto the general public.

“The most commonlyused fuel cell catalystmaterial is platinumnanoparticles,” Leonardsaid. “In addition to beingquite expensive, platinumhas several problemswhen used in fuel cellsincluding poisoning, parti-cle agglomeration and dis-solution.”

Metal carbides are lessexpensive and often easierto melt at lower tempera-tures, which wastes lessenergy and time.

A major carbide used inhis research is tungstencarbide, which is tough(9.5 hardness compared to

diamond’s 10) and rela-tively inexpensive.

Benefits of using thesecarbides include cleanenergy solutions for carsand buildings, traction fortires and even productionof clean water. But thereare also some problemswith traditional carbidesynthesis, generally relatedto the number of resourcesavailable.

To work toward over-coming those obstacles,Leonard has invented car-bon nanotube templatedcarbides. Bulk metals arecombined with multi-wallcarbon nanotubes to cre-ate metal carbide nan-otubes.

Leonard and his stu-dent assistants have tested

this with other carbide sys-tems.

“All of them seem tohave this general wire-likesystem,” Leonard said.“The amount of time andtemperatures needed withthese metal carbide nan-otubes are significantlylower than they would befor each individual com-ponent.”

Leonard brought hisseminar to a close byinforming the crowd of hiscurrent research, which isto extend this process tobinary carbides. Leonardnoted that most metals willform the same type ofstructure and have goodmorphology control, nan-otubes with small diame-ters and vast surface area.

‘Earth Made of Glass’ shatters global perspective

The genocide thattook place inRwanda in 1994

is an event that has beenwell-documented bymedia and filmmakersalike, but it has neverbeen shown from thisangle before.

Rwandan citizen Jean-Pierre Sagahutu lost hisentire family to the atroc-ities carried out duringthis tragedy.

Director DeborahScranton focuses the

majority of her film onSagahutu’s journey tofind the truth behind hisfather’s death.

“Forgiveness, if thereis no truth, means noth-ing,” Sagahutu said.

Throughout his jour-ney, Sagahutu encoun-ters a number ofRwandans who are skep-tical about revealing anyinformation regardingthe death of his fatherbecause of their fear ofthe repercussions of thepast.

Eventually Sagahutufinds someone who iswilling to help him findhis father’s killer. Uponmeeting the man whodirectly witnessed hisfather’s murder,Sagahutu is extremelyangry and merciless,

especially since the mandidn’t offer his father asingle ounce of assis-tance.

“I’m not ready to for-give,” Sagahutu said.

Sagahutu makes theman show him the placewhere his father wasburied so he can recoverhis remnants and begiven a proper burialwith family and friends tocreate a feeling of clo-sure.

The story behind thestory is the corruptionand backroom dealsbetween the French gov-ernment and JuvenalHabyarimana, the presi-dent of Rwanda at thetime.

“The justice system isjust so fragmented,” saidHannah Nix, a senior

nutrition major.According to the film,

the French aided theRwandan genocide byproviding the govern-ment with countlessnumbers of arms andammunition used tocarry out their horrificacts of malice.

The French tried todeny accusations thatthey had any involvementwith the genocide thattook place in Rwanda,even though they broughtmilitary forces bothbefore and after thegenocide took place.

Overall, the film por-trayed a very powerfulmessage to the audienceand I found the film to beboth incredibly inspiringand informative at thesame time.

Scranton did an out-standing job with inter-twining the personalstory of Jean-Pierre find-ing out the truth behindhis father’s death andwith providing the audi-ence with the truth aboutthe French government’sdirect contribution toRwandan tragedy. I wastruly moved by the storythat played out onscreen. All in all, this is afilm I would recommendto any and all moviego-ers, for it is both educa-tional and uplifting, pre-senting new knowledgeof a conflict that hasnever been covered likethis before.

After the film conclud-ed, there was a Q-and-Awith Scranton, in whichshe kept answers short,

simple and somewhatfeisty, exemplified by hercalling out one audiencemember for talking whileanother was asking her aquestion.

“She’s sassy,” saidAlena Ruzicka, a sopho-more special educationmajor. “I loved it, it wasintense.”

“Earth Made of Glass”premiered at the 2010Tribeca Film Festival. Itwas also an OfficialSelection at the 2010 AbuDhabi Film Festival andreceived a ProducersGuild Award Nominationfor Best DocumentaryTheatrical Motion Picturein 2011.

The second annualRunaway Artist Exhibit willdecorate the atmosphere atThe Blue Mug at MargiesThursday from 5-8 p.m.

The UNC studentorganization has distrib-uted 4-inch by 4-inchblocks of wood out tonumerous art studentsacross campus. Studentswere asked by the mem-bers of Runaway Artist todecorate the blocks inwhatever medium, facet orfashion they felt inspiredby. The event is a fundrais-er, in which the moneygoes back to the art stu-dents to help supportshows and exhibits.

“The Blue Mug just took over Margies, which made it a little bit easier to find aspot,” said Kati Stanford, asenior fine arts major andpresident of RunawayArtist. “We’re trying tobecome a new place for

community and studentsfor arts and music. We arehoping that the weatherwill be nice. We like sup-porting local business, andsince it’s on 16th Street, we

hope to draw in other peo-ple from the communitythat may not be aware ofthe Runaway Artist.”

The blocks of wood thathave been transformedinto art will be sold duringa silent auction. The blockswill start at $4 and go up in$4 increments. TheRunaway Artist encouragesart students to present andshow their work in public.

“I think students will besurprised by how many dif-ferent mediums you canuse in these little woodenblocks to create this uniqueart,” said Jaisee Star, a jun-ior residual arts major andmember of Runway Artist.“Everything from sculptorsto printmakers to paintersadded to the art beingsold.”

Affordable art by stu-dents and faculty will notonly help grow and developthe arts department at theUniversity of NorthernColorado, but it also allowsstudents to participate withcommunity members.

The intricate possibilitiesare endless even with thissmall form. Notably, someof the most prized pieces ofart throughout history werecomposed on pieces that aresmaller than a 4-inch by 4-inch block of wood. In par-ticular, many of RembrandtHarmenszoon van Rijn’sfamous pieces of work werequite small and one of theoldest known three-dimen-sional pieces is the “Venusof Willendorf,” a fertilitygoddess sculpture.

President Norton willaddress the attendeesfrom 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m.Tuesday in the UniversityCenter Ballrooms. TheState of the Universityaddress is annual, and itis an important eventevery student should beaware of.

“I’m thinking of goingbecause if I’m paying togo to this university, Iwant to make sure theteachers are working tohelp me achieve mygoals,” said Sylvia Stone,a sophomore Englishmajor. “I also want tomake sure that tuitionrates won’t be increasingby too much. I know it’snaive to think that tuitionrates won’t increase. I’mjust hoping it won’t putme into debt until I’m like80 years old.”

With college tuitionson the rise, studentsshould make sure thatthey are utilizing all of theresources an institutionof higher education has tooffer. The State of theUniversity intends toinform students, facultyand community memberson the direction of theUniversity.

“I don’t think I’ll

attend because I didn’tmake plans to go,” saidKaylynne Tanner, a soph-omore biomedical major.“Otherwise I would’veread up on the issues.Instead, I had no idea thatthe University has a Stateof the University address.”

Norton became the12th president of theUniversity of NorthernColorado in July 2002. Sheis a vocal advocate forpublic higher educationand building strong andsustainable university-community relationships.

At last year’s address,Norton spoke about theschool’s admittance andgraduate concerns inrelation to the state’sstandards. She also out-lined fiscal goals andresponsibilities the uni-versity had set for itself.

“The state will want tomeasure traditional things— how many students ofwhat kind will be graduat-ing with what type ofdegree,” Norton said lastyear. “Our students arestudents. They’re not cus-tomers, and they’re notproducts. Our mission andour meaning lie at theheart of everything we do.We must do what is rightfor UNC. Our target of(saving) $5 million will

help us fill the hole left bystate funding reductions.”

This year, Norton will

probably speak about thesame issues and mostlikely, the impendingpresidential campaign, asboth candidates havespoken about theincrease in collegetuition.

The second annualRunaway Artist Exhibit willdecorate the atmosphere atThe Blue Mug at MargiesThursday from 5-8 p.m.

The UNC studentorganization has distrib-uted 4-inch by 4-inchblocks of wood out tonumerous art studentsacross campus. Studentswere asked by the mem-bers of Runaway Artist todecorate the blocks inwhatever medium, facet orfashion they felt inspiredby. The event is a fundrais-er, in which the moneygoes back to the art stu-dents to help supportshows and exhibits.

“The Blue Mug just took over Margies, which made it a little bit easier to find aspot,” said Kati Stanford, asenior fine arts major andpresident of RunawayArtist. “We’re trying tobecome a new place for

community and studentsfor arts and music. We arehoping that the weatherwill be nice. We like sup-porting local business, andsince it’s on 16th Street, we

hope to draw in other peo-ple from the communitythat may not be aware ofthe Runaway Artist.”

The blocks of wood thathave been transformedinto art will be sold duringa silent auction. The blockswill start at $4 and go up in$4 increments. TheRunaway Artist encouragesart students to present andshow their work in public.

“I think students will besurprised by how many dif-ferent mediums you canuse in these little woodenblocks to create this uniqueart,” said Jaisee Star, a jun-ior residual arts major andmember of Runway Artist.“Everything from sculptorsto printmakers to paintersadded to the art beingsold.”

Affordable art by stu-dents and faculty will notonly help grow and developthe arts department at theUniversity of NorthernColorado, but it also allowsstudents to participate withcommunity members.

The intricate possibilitiesare endless even with thissmall form. Notably, someof the most prized pieces ofart throughout history werecomposed on pieces that aresmaller than a 4-inch by 4-inch block of wood. In par-ticular, many of RembrandtHarmenszoon van Rijn’sfamous pieces of work werequite small and one of theoldest known three-dimen-sional pieces is the “Venusof Willendorf,” a fertilitygoddess sculpture.

UNC’s soccer teamstarted its conference sea-son off on the right footthis weekend with shutoutwins over their visitingfoes.

On Friday, theUniversity of NorthernColorado (4-4-2, 2-0-0 BigSky) defeated PortlandState (3-6-1, 1-1-0) 1-0, andthe Bears took downSacramento State (3-4-2, 1-1-0) 2-0 Sunday, with bothgames at Jackson Stadium.

Head coach TimBarrera said he thinks thekey to success in the BigSky Conference is to takecare of business at home.He said his squad was ableto accomplish that duringthe weekend matches.

“In our league, one ofthose important things isto get home wins,” Barrerasaid. “You have to holdcourt at home — get a winor a tie. Those are twogood teams. Sac will bethere at the end, PortlandState will be there at theend, so to be able to get

wins against those teamsis important.”

The Bears playedPortland State to a score-less stalemate until the85th minute, when a shotby junior midfielderChandler Guetz deflectedoff a Viking defender andinto the net behind PSUsenior goalkeeper LaineyHulsizer. UNC was able tohold onto the lead andcomplete the victory.

Sunday’s game wasalso scoreless into the sec-ond half, when in the 68thminute, Bears junior mid-

fielder Mallory Van Houtslid to punch in a free ballin front of the Hornets’goal. Van Hout said shewas excited to break thetie and score what provedto be the winning goal.

“It felt really good and Ithink, with a 0-0 game, itfelt really good to get thatin the back of the net andget the team going,” VanHout said.

Then, in the 81st minute,junior midfielder TaraRickenbach scored arebound goal after a pushdownfield by senior midfield-

er Alexsys Tamayo.Sacramento State seniorgoalkeeper Shelby Tomasellomade a quick reaction saveon Tamayo’s shot, but theball fell right to Rickenbach,who added the insurancescore for the Bears.

Barrera said he washappy to see that both goalsSunday came from freeballs in the Hornets’ box.

“Those are nice goals,”he said. “We love reboundgoals because that meanswe’re working. If you lookat both the goals wescored, they’re hustle

goals, and that’s fantastic.”Rickenbach said the

team is off to a nice start inconference play but isn’tsatisfied yet.

“(Two wins) is a goodstart,” Rickenbach said“Our wins at home arereally important, so we’reready to go. We want towin them all.”

The Bears return toaction against new BigSky member NorthDakota at 7 p.m. Friday atJackson Stadium.

For the UNC football team,facing Montana State, the No. 2team at the FCS level, onSaturday was going to be adaunting task.

It wasn’t until after allowing21 unanswered points in thefirst quarter that it was really evi-dent just how daunting.

The Bobcats’ big first quar-ter was enough breathing roomfor the rest of the game as MSU(4-0, 1-0 Big Sky) went on to win41-16 in Bozeman, Mont.

The Bears (1-3, 0-1) gainedsome offensive traction in thesecond quarter with a 40-yardfield goal from junior kickerDave Eden and a 10-yardtouchdown pass from junior

quarterback Seth Lobato tosophomore wide receiverDimitri Stimphil to cut the leadto 11 points.

The made extra point onStimphil’s touchdown gaveEden 51 for his career, break-ing the school’s Division Irecord of 50 held by MichaelYork (2006-09).

After putting a dent in thescore, UNC’s defense allowedanother 10 straight points, cre-ating a 31-10 deficit.

The Bears got the ball backwith 33 seconds left in the halfand moved 33 yards to set upa 42-yard field goal from Eden.UNC went into halftime trail-ing 31-13.

With 6:42 left in the thirdquarter, Eden hit a third fieldgoal, this one a 38-yarder.

Eden’s three field goals inthe game were a career-highand pushed him into the top-10 at UNC for career fieldgoals with 16.

The Bobcats scored anothertouchdown in the third andanother field goal in the fourthto complete the scoring.

Montana State junior quar-terback DeNarius McGheetorched UNC’s defense in thegame for 387 yards passing andtwo touchdowns — a 9-yardpass in the first quarter and a49-yarder in the third. McGheecompleted 34-of-44 passes andalso added 44 yards rushingand another score on theground.

Montana State also gotbig games out of junior run-ning back Cody Kirk (89

yards rushing, two touch-downs) and junior widereceiver Tanner Bleskin (10receptions, 116 yards).

As for the Bears, Lobatopassed for 209 yards, the touch-down to Stimphil and an inter-ception. Lobato was alsosacked four times.

Stimphil had two recep-tions for 29 yards, junior widereceiver Jace Davis had 59yards on four catches andsenior wide receiver DominicGunn had one catch for 56yards, a catch that later set upStimphil’s score.

Junior running backsQuentin Hildreth andTromaine Dennis rushed for 46and 26 yards, respectively, on acombined 16 carries.

Defensively, junior line-

backer Clarence Bumpasrecorded 11 tackles, runninghis streak of games against BigSky teams with double-digittackles to nine, not includinglast week against SacramentoState, which was not techni-cally a conference game.

Sophomore safety Kyle Griffinalso had eight tackles in hisfirst career start as a Bear.

The Bears now have a byeweek, but will be back on thefield at 1:35 p.m. Oct. 6 for theirhomecoming game againstMontana (2-2, 0-1).

If it weren’t for a highschool gym teacher, UNCsophomore outside hitterTambre Haddock mightinstead be playing basket-ball for the University ofNorthern Colorado.

During her time atLongmont High School,Haddock participated inbasketball, volleyball andtrack her senior year, justfor fun. AlthoughHaddock did not know thegym teacher too well, shestill told the Bears’recruiters aboutHaddock’s abilities.

Haddock said she actu-ally wanted to play bas-ketball in college, but

after her sophomore yearin high school, her inter-ests changed.

“It just felt right,”Haddock said. “I love vol-leyball, and playing at col-lege is such a differentlevel than anything Icould have ever played.”

Playing for the Bearswas not in Haddock’splans — for she was alsorecruited by RegisUniversity. Her highschool coach knew thevolleyball coaches forUNC, and that made therecruitment process —and eventual decision ofwhich school to choose —a little easier for her.

Haddock’s decision tobecome a Bear has provedpositive for both parties less

than two seasons intoHaddock’s UNC career.Haddock has 150 kills so farthis season, and head coachLyndsey Oates describesHaddock as the emotionalleader for the team.

“When she is high-energy, our team is high-energy,” Oates said.“When she is low energy,our team is low energy, sowe really need her to playfeisty and competitivebecause our team followsher lead.”

Being only a sopho-more, Haddock, a sportand exercise sciencemajor, said she tries tolearn as much as she canfrom the older players.

“(I look up to) all theseniors, like Marissa

(Hughes) — she’s an awe-some leader,” Haddocksaid. “And Kelley (Arnold)— I rememberplaying her inhigh school, andI’ve always lookedup to her.”

A l t h o u g hHaddock looks upto the seniors onthe team, evenArnold —another outside hitter —said she is motivated byHaddock, and she saidHaddock influences theteam in a positive way.

“Even when we’redown, she has these moti-vational talks that youwouldn’t necessarilyexpect from an underclass-man to step in and say

something,” Arnold said.On the court, Haddock

is motivational and ath-letic, but outsidethe arena iswhere her per-sonality reallyshows.

S o p h o m o r emiddle blockerAndrea Spaustat

joined the vol-leyball team the

same year as Haddockand said she considersHaddock one of her bestfriends, best evidenced bytheir bonding over themovie “Bridesmaids.”

“(I) love that movie —so funny — and we literallyquote that movie all thetime,” Spaustat said. “Wejust go back and forth quot-

ing it, and we could go onfor days about that movie.”

So far in her youngcareer, Haddock hasimpressed enough to earnconsistent playing time.Only time will tell howmuch more Haddock willimprove at UNC, butOates is understandablyoptimistic.

“The sky is the limit forher, and she is just the tipof the iceberg right nowfor her potential,” Oatessaid. “She was a multi-sport athlete, so for her toplay year-round, that’swhy we saw so muchgrowth in the spring — isthat she’s finally focusedon one sport because thenwe can see a lot ofgrowth.”

The University ofNorthern Colorado (10-3, 3-1 Big Sky) had its first con-ference matches on theroad, and the openingmatch against Idaho State(10-3, 4-0) in Pocatello,Idaho, did not turn out theway the Bears would havehoped.

Bengals proved to be atough team, only allowingthe Bears to win by four andthree points, respectively.

After a strong 2-0 lead,the Bears dropped the nexttwo sets to the Bengals. Inthe fourth game, UNC wasat match point, but IdahoState stepped up and forceda fifth set.

After the loss, the Bearshad less than 24 hoursbefore facing Weber State(7-8, 0-4) in Ogden, Utah.

Saturday proved to be avery different tempo againstthe Wildcats, with the Bearsfinishing the road trip with asweep.

Hughes became thefourth Bear to reach the

4,000 assist milestone aftergetting 32 Saturday. Shealso notched five kills in 10total attacks for a .300 hit-ting percentage.

A goal is scored andthe crowd goes wild. Thegoalkeeper makes a saveand the fans cheer. Butwho gets excited about aball being cleared out ofthe box?

The job of defender isoften thankless, but it is akey position for the suc-cess of a soccer team.That is where UNC seniordefender AundreahaMartinez comes in.

Martinez has been inthe University ofNorthern Colorado pro-gram for five years, hav-ing redshirted her sopho-more year. After a fresh-man year in which shedidn’t see much playingtime. She said she hasgained significant knowl-edge year after year,improving along the way.

“I’ve definitely gottenbetter playing throughoutcollege, but it’s been alearning experience every

year,” she said.According to head

coach Tim Barrera,Martinez had to manipu-late the timing of herinternship with Relay ForLife to take advantage ofher final year of eligibility.

Having received theextra year, Martinez hasstepped into the role of theBears’ veteran leader in theback. Barrera said Martinezhas been a stabilizing pres-ence in her final seasonwith her vocal leadership.

“I think they’ve done agood job of communicat-ing,” he said. “We use alot of players in the back,probably a few more than

most people do. ‘Dre’sbeen dinged up a little bitthis year, as have someother players. I think thecoordination in the backhas been quite good.”

Senior goalkeeperNatalie D’Adamio alsoemphasized the impor-tance of communicationon the defensive half ofthe pitch.

“I think it makes every-one more comfortablewhen you’re talking to oneanother so that every timethey come to you, you’reorganized and you’reready for whatever theyhave,” D’Adamio said.

Martinez explainedwhy communicationamong the defense is soimportant and what roleshe plays in that process.

“It’s pretty muchabout getting peopleorganized — knowingwhere your marks are,knowing where she(D’Adamio) wants us,”she said. “As soon as shelets me know where she

wants me, it just goesfrom there.”

Barrera said Martinez’sathleticism makes up forher small stature — a rari-ty for a center back.

“She’s a 400-meterstate champion in thestate of Washington,” he

said. “Most center backsare more JJ-sized than 5-foot-3 (Bears senior mid-fielder JJ Wykstra stands 6feet tall). It’s her speedand her power and alsoher ability to read thegame and be a vocal pres-ence back there that’s

really made a difference.”With Martinez holding

down the back half of thefield, the Bears shouldn’thave much trouble hear-ing their marks, enablingthem to focus on playingtheir game, rather thanlistening for directions.
