Tomorrow, millions of peoplewill go to the polls to vote on a wideselection of candidates and issues inthe country’s general election. Withall of the politically charged adver-tisements this time of year, it can behard to decipher what the candi-dates truly stand for and what theissues really are.

In the race for governor are threecandidates. John Hickenlooper, themayor of Denver, advocates the newhealth care reform, looks to promotesmall businesses and fix the mainstreets in cities and towns.

Tom Tancredo, the representa-

tive from the Constitution Party andUNC alumnus, lists his importantissues as stopping illegal immigra-tion, legalizing marijuana, creatingjobs and is pro-life.

Dan Maes, the Republicancandidate, is in favor of eventu-ally making Colorado income-tax free, stopping illegal immi-gration and removing unions forstate employees. Maes has beencriticized for some of his state-ments and his alleged fabrica-tion of job experience. He hasbeen pressured to exit the raceto allow Tancredo a betterchance at a conservative holdingoffice.

Two major candidates for the

United States Senate seat areRepublican Ken Buck andDemocrat Michael Bennet.

Buck is the current WeldCounty District Attorney. He isan advocate for smaller govern-ment and has promised to nevervote to raise taxes if he is elect-ed to the Senate. He supportsrepealing President Obama’shealth-care reform bill, a reor-ganization of the Department ofEducation renovation and hastaken a strict stand against ille-gal immigration.

Bennet was the Denver PublicSchools superintendent and iscurrently one of the two ColoradoSenators in the United StatesSenate. He was chosen byGovernor Bill Ritter to replacecurrent Secretary of the Interior,Ken Salazar. He is a strong advo-cate for education improvements,and shortly after becoming theDenver school superintendent hereleased the “Denver Plan,” whichstates areas that need to beimproved within the district andhow to improve them.

One of the larger races with-in Weld County is betweenRepublican Bob Boswell andincumbent Democrat JimRiesberg for the State House ofRepresentatives seat for District50.

Growth of government, jobsand the economy have been sub-

jects of debate between these twocandidates. Boswell claims thedemocratic majority has support-ed growing government and thatspending must be brought undercontrol. Riesberg says he has notvoted to grow government and isaccomplishing much to bringjobs to Weld County.

Also on the ballot are sevenamendments and two propositions.Amendments change the state con-stitution and propositions changestate statutes, which are laws passedby the legislature.

Three of the most discussed billsare Amendments 60, 61 andProposition 101.

Amendment 60, if passed,will repeal the authority of localgovernments to keep propertytaxes above their constitutionallimit, establish expiration datesfor property-tax increasesapproved by voters in the futureand cut funds provided by taxesfor public schools in half andreplace them with states fundsduring the next 10 years.Amendment 60 could effect allpublic schools offering K-12thgrade in Colorado.

Amendment 61 proposesrestrictions on governmental bor-rowing. If passed, new state gov-ernment borrowing will be prohib-ited starting in 2011. The amend-ment aims to control governmentlending by putting a timeframe on

all expenditures and bonds. Taxcuts after loans are repaid wouldalso become mandatory.

Proposition 101 proposeschanges in the taxation and feecollection of income, vehicles andtelecommunications. Proposition101, if passed, would reduce thestate income tax from 4.63 percentto 4.5 percent in 2011 and eventu-ally reduce it to 3.5 percent. Itwould reduce or eliminate taxesand fees on vehicle purchases,registrations, leases and rentalsduring a four-year period. It wouldalso eliminate telecommunicationfees, except for 911 fees. It wouldalso make voter approval neces-sary to create or increase fees onvehicles or telecommunications.

Amendment 62 proposes theterm “person,” within its consti-tutional rights, be used todescribe any human that hasbegun biological development,affecting abortion laws.

Amendment 63 proposes thechoice of health care be added to theconstitution, prohibiting the stategovernment from requiring a per-son have a public or private healthcare plan and preventing the statefrom limiting a person’s ability tomake or receive payments for healthcare.

With many issues to consid-er, voters have much to decideupon this Election Day onTuesday.

Mirror Reflections are the opinion of The Mirror’s editorial board: Jordan Freemyer, Eric Heinz, Melanie Vasquez, Benjamin Welch and Ruby White. Let us knowwhat you think. E-mail us at [email protected].

They aren’t welcome untilthey’re needed. Then they can’tarrive fast enough.

Students around the nationspeak ill of universities’ team of lawenforcement agents, both publiclyand among their social circles.These conversations tend torevolve around how a fraternityparty was stopped by the cops lastweek, or how the police depart-ment caught a couple of under-aged students with beer in-handand cited them with minor-in-pos-session tickets, or other trivialinconveniences.

However, some people tend toforget that college campuses can

be the most susceptible to vio-lence. Contrary to popular belief,campus police’s goals extendbeyond knocking on dormitorydoors and searching for booze.

On Tuesday, the University ofNorthern Colorado PoliceDepartment, along with assistancefrom the Greeley PoliceDepartment, arrested Eric Kinder,a former graduate student, onfelony menacing charges. Kinderpossessed numerous handguns,and was making threatening homi-cidal and suicidal statements onhis Facebook page.

The potential of this situationdraws memories of the shootings at

Virginia Tech in 2007 when a stu-dent, Seung-Hui Cho, killed 32 ofhis peers and injured many more.

While there is no indication thatthe incident near UNC involvingKinder would have developed intosuch an event, there are similaritiesbetween the two circumstances.

Despite the negative connota-tion campus officers may garneramong students, these men andwomen of law enforcement haveshown they are dedicated to secu-rity. UNCPD responded quickly toreports of Kinder’s alarming behav-ior and was able to negotiate hissurrender after a short standoff.

Though Kinder was armed, the

suspect was taken into custodywithout any requisite injuries.

Officers of UNCPD should becommended for this, especiallybecause displaying weapons to thepolice is usually a recipe for disaster.

The situation was contained,and Kinder is currently being heldin the Weld County Jail. Authoritiessaid Kinder is a threat to the campusand members of the UNC commu-nity will be alerted if he is released.

Though gunmen on campusare, thankfully, a very rare occur-rence, the UNCPD officers contin-ue to put their lives on the lineevery day to protect the campuscommunity.

This week’s poll question:Do you think the UNCPDhandled the emergencyincident involving a formerstudent Tuesday?

Cast your vote atwwwwww..uunnccmmiirrrroorr..ccoomm

Campus police do more than speeding tickets

Of course with this fall’s elec-tion only one day away, I find itmy civic duty to urge you not onlyto actually get your lazy bums tothe polls, but also to not merelycast a blind and uninformed vote.

It’s easy to register to vote; it’seasy to go vote. The hard part isactually casting your vote with aninformed decision behind it.Let’s be honest here. We all knowthat more often than not votingcan become a little bit like thatmultiple choice test you procras-tinated studying for, wherechecking off your answers or fill-ing in the bubbles becomes morelike a fun exercise of pattern and

coloring skills than anything else.In the voting booth, many spon-taneous coloring skills can mani-fest themselves in the form ofrandom-button-pushing.

Now, while I admit that push-ing buttons at random in a votingbooth does have a certain erranttemptation to it, all those namesand questions serve a higher pur-pose. In other words, the buttonsaren’t just there for your entertain-ment. So please, for the sake of ourcountry’s future, resist the urge.Now that our inner child’s devilishways have been addressed, we canmove on to tackle the greatestissue of voting: the blur of namesand ballot issues.

After what seems like the zil-lionth question, it’s easy towonder what possessed you togive a darn in the first place. Icompletely understand.

Americans are required to voteon and for far more issues andpeople more frequently thancitizens of any other democraticnation. One could easily under-stand why it would seem likethe only way to be informedwould be to take up a full-timecareer in political science.

But I’m here to tell you this isnot the case. Yes, there are a lotof people who know more aboutthe elusive inner workings ofthat massive beast we call gov-ernment than we do. But, quitefrankly, no excuse is goodenough, especially not that one.The people and issues we arevoting for or against will andalready do affect virtually everypart of our lives, whether werealize it or not. So makinginformed decisions about howwe cast our votes is vital.

So many of us are passionateabout what we disagree and agreewith when it comes to govern-ment. We’re not afraid to make ourvoices heard when arguing withfriends, when talking with familyand when entering political dis-cussion in class. And yet, too oftenwe take for granted the opportuni-ty we are given to affect change byvoting. It’s certainly not too late tobe informed about your decisionswhen you walk into that boothTuesday. I urge you, if you haven’talready, to browse the web, readyour local newspaper and, at thevery least, find an informativevoter’s guide to take with youwhen you go to vote. Take pride inyour voice, in your vote.

Sue Allen, the administrativeassistant for the University ofNorthern Colorado School ofMusic, said chamber music ismore intimate than other typesof musical ensembles. Allensaid these types of concerts arenot loud, but more quiet andrelaxing. Allen said they soundappropriate for backgroundmusic and no solos are per-formed.

One of the performers,Xiangyu Zhao, a sophomoremusic major, said he had beenpracticing for this particular

concert for about a month anda half.

Zhao is an international stu-

dent from China. He is a pianistand has been playing since hewas 4 years old. He said heheard about UNC’s music pro-gram from a former professor.

Theater honors society promotes safe Halloween with carnivalBRIDGETT WEAVER

n e w s @ u n c m i r r o r . c o m

While most college studentsspent October preparing forHalloween parties, some spentthe holiday preparing to giveback to the community.

Alpha Psi Omega, theNational Honorary TheatreSociety at UNC, hosted itsannual Safe Halloween,Saturday in Frasier Hall, for stu-dents in grades K-6.

Admission was either a canof food or $1, with all proceedsdonated to the Weld Food Bank.

Safe Halloween is a familyevent intended to add to the

spirit of Halloween in a virtual-ly risk-free environment.

“We’re proud because we’renot only connecting to thecommunity but also helpingfight hunger,” said HeatherKimiecik, a sophomore theaterarts major, who is the APO com-munications director.

Safe Halloween was splitinto four events, including facepainting, cookie decorating,pumpkin painting and a three-legged zombie race.

“We wanted to do somethingthat not only used our creativeability, but gave the Greeleycommunity a safe Halloween,”said Mark Drum, president of

APO and a senior theater artsmajor.

Funding for the event wascleared through the StudentActivities Office with a setbudget. Kimiecik said therewere some problems gettingeverything approved this year,making it hard to advertise intime.

“It’s difficult to do becausethere’s a lot of planning,”Kimiecik said.

Mark Montemayor, a profes-sor of music education, broughthis family to enjoy the festivi-ties. Montemayor said it wasnice to be able to incorporatean optimistic holiday with his

place of business. Alpha Sigma Alpha, Wilson

Hall, President’s Row dormito-ries and the Junior Honor’sSociety helped make the eventpossible by volunteering.

APO is a service fraternity fortheater and arts majors set upby a point system, and potentialmembers can earn points bybeing involved in shows and byattending meetings. The frater-nity invites new members whenthey earn a certain amount ofpoints.

APO helped with the wel-come picnic early this semester.The organization will also hostthe Senior Practicum Show and

the Tommy’s, the APO studentawards banquet, similar to theOscar’s, later this school year.

In the spirit of ghosts, ghoulsand witches, UNC communitymembers formed a line from thebasement of Harrison Hall to befrightened for philanthropy.

The haunted house has been astaple of Halloween at UNC formore than 20 years. Students arefamiliar with this event; however,they may be unaware of what it pro-vides for the community.

Patrons paid $1 or one can offood to experience the hauntedbasement. The money is not usedfor the residence hall but is donatedto a local charity. Last year, morethan $400 and a few hundredpounds of food were donated to theWeld Food Bank.

“This is the time of the yearwhen (the food bank) reallyneeds the help,” said ColleenToomey, the hall director forHarrison Hall.

Toomey said with the holidaysright around the corner, many peo-ple are in need. She said membersof the residence hall have beenplanning for Haunted Harrison forthe past three weeks, but buildingof props began on Thursday. A

delay in the building processoccurred because residents neededaccess to the laundry rooms in thebasement.

The basement was an ideallocation because Harrison hasbeen known for many of itsghost stories. This is the otherreason Harrison Hall has beenchosen to host this event overthe years.

Many students help out withthis event every year. LaurenZdanowitz, a member of theResidence Hall Association, saidshe enjoyed helping out. This washer first year to help and she said

she was excited to help guidegroups through the event.

Zdanowitz also said HarrisonHall Community Council membersdecide the theme yearly. This year,the theme was a haunted hospital.

“It was really well done,” saidChris Grossman, a junior businessmajor. He said the house was notthat terrifying, but was fun andworth the cost.

Haunted Harrison was open 8-11 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Achild-friendly version of the attrac-tion was open from 7-8 p.m.Sunday, a less-scary version moreappropriate for young children.

Kelly Scott, a UNC professor ofjournalism and mass communica-

tion, said she was impressed by theeffort each group of students putinto the projects.

“The students in this classseem to enjoy getting together andworking on projects like this,”Scott said. “I hope that this willcontinue after college. I also hopethat these projects will help themunderstand how important it is toget your message out.”

“We chose these proposi-tions because we thought thatthey were the main ones on theballot that would have thebiggest impact on college stu-dents,” said Maurene Walsh, asenior political science major.

Volleyball honors seniors with victoryLichtenberg becomes 14th Bear with 1,000 career kills in sweep of WildcatsDAVID WILSON

s p o r t s @ u n c m i r r o r . c o m

Senior night could not havegone smoother for the UNCwomen’s volleyball team Saturdaynight at Butler-Hancock SportsPavilion, as it easily disposed of theWeber State Wildcats, 3-0, in frontof nearly 800 fans, and, mostimportantly, the seniors’ parents.

University of NorthernColorado senior outside hitterAshley Lichtenberg finished with amatch-high 16 kills, and in doingso, recorded the 1,000th kill of hercareer early in the first game, mak-ing her just the 14th player inschool history to reach that mark.

“It was really special; it’s one ofthose perfect matches,”Lichtenberg said. “But it was extraspecial tonight because my familywas here. I never thought I’d get tothis mark, but I’ve had a lot ofgreat teammates who have helpedme out.”

The University of NorthernColorado (19-5, 10-1) also saw

big nights from its two othergraduating players: senior out-side hitter Julie Stephenson andredshirt junior defensive special-ist Abbie Howe.

Howe finished with a career-high 14 digs, while Stephensonchipped in nine kills and five digs ofher own.

“You put four years into this,and it’s a really hard four years foranyone who has played collegiateathletics, and it just went greattonight,” Howe said. “Getting thatframed uniform tonight was a totaltribute to how hard I’ve worked andhow possibilities can come true.”

The hard work Howe has put inhas also been memorable for Bears’head coach Lyndsey Benson whohas known her since she was 10years old.

“I grew up babysitting Abbie —her and her three sisters I’veknown since they were tiny,”Benson said. “There is a long con-nection there, and that’s what Ilove about coaching at UNC.There is those connections with

local kids; they’re not just a num-ber and a name.”

Saturday night’s matchupagainst Weber State (3-22, 1-11) isnot the last home match for theBears, but Benson said she movedsenior night up a few weeks tomake sure Lichtenberg’s momcould be in attendance.

The Bears played a flawlessgame one, as they hit a stagger-ing .600 attacking percentagewith no attacking errors on theirway to an easy 25-10 win. Therest of the night followed suit asthe Bears took games two andthree, thanks in part to the playof their three seniors.

Saturday was a feel-good nightfor the UNC volleyball programand a memorable one not only forthe seniors, but also for Benson.

“I wasn’t choked up during thehonoring of the seniors,” Bensonsaid. “But when Ashley got her1,000th kill and the crowd wascheering for her, I had a flashbackof her four years. I got a little emo-tional when she got that kill.”


UNC senior outside hitter Ashley Lichtenberg serves the ball inthe Bears’ 3-0 win against Weber State on Saturday. Lichtenbergrecorded the 1,000th kill of her career in the match.

Football team falters early in loss to South DakotaSTAFF REPORT

T h eUniversity ofN o r t h e r nC o l o r a d o ’ s(2-7) 34-6loss to South

The Bears had a chance toscore at the end of the first half,

but Orms was sacked at the USD30-yard line and the clock expiredbefore UNC could take its finaltimeout.

Broncos’ aggressiondoes not buck BearsERIC HEINZ


Coming out of the gates withunyielding powder-keg explosive-ness, the UNC club ice hockey teamfilled the first-period void it hasstruggled with in its previous games,defeating Boise State University, 6-4,Friday at the Greeley Ice Haus.

The Bears carried the earlymomentum the rest of the way andheld the Broncos to a trot the entirenight. Shots on goal were 45 to 20 infavor of the University of NorthernColorado (3-6), which out-shotBoise State (1-9) 19 to 4 in the firstperiod, taking a 3-1 lead.Sophomore goaltender Brian Deanearned his first win in the startingposition.

“They did it all themselvestonight; there wasn’t anything Ineeded to do,” UNC coach NickHarper said. “After the slow start wehad last week, they knew they need-ed to come out flying, and they didthat in the first.”

The formula for a smooth break-out is not discovered overnight;however, the Bears were able to stayaway from the deadly mistake ofdefensive-zone turnovers with crisptape-to-tape passes and strengthagainst a hard Broncos’ forecheck.

“BSU pinched us hard against

the boards, and we knew theywould,” Harper said. “I told the guys,‘Get it, chip it out and go after it,’ andthey executed that perfectly.”

Senior forward Kevin Insanacontinued his goal-scoring scourgeagainst the West Division of theAmerican College HockeyAssociation, tallying two goals —one each in the first and third peri-ods — and an assist.

“A lot of the new guys are startingto become a lot more comfortableand keeping their head up,” Insanasaid.

Harper also said the Bears’ abili-ty to take care of rebounds in front oftheir own net was essential to stay-ing on top of the opponent. WhileBSU was unable to capitalize on anyrebounds, UNC still has some issuesprotecting the net and defensive-zone coverage.

“We saw a few breakdownswhere we didn’t help out the goalie;we’re still not 100 percent there,”senior forward Travis Hitt said.“From what I saw, we still need totake the body a bit more and havesome more defensive awareness.”

This week, the ice hockey teamhas a week off and will return to takeon CU-Boulder’s Division II squadFriday, Nov. 12, on the road andreturn to the Ice Haus Saturday,Nov. 13, to face the Buffs in a home-away doubleheader weekend.

Basketball to tip-off against Western StateSTAFF REPORT

s p o rt s @ u n c m i r r o r . c o m

The new season for the UNCmen’s basketball team startstonight with an exhibitionmatchup against Western State.

It will be the debut of B.J. Hillas head coach for the Universityof Northern Colorado, whichwent 25-8 last season underdeparted coach Tad Boyle. The 25wins set a school record for mostin a season.

Western State, a Division IIschool, went 5-21 last year, andlost to UNC in an exhibitiongame. UNC led 59-33 at halftimeand went on to win the game,111-65. The Bears shot 50 percentfor the game and had five playersscore at least 12 points. No UNCplayer was on the court for morethan 19 minutes, and all but twoplayers on the roster scored.

Probably the most impressiveperformance, though, was that offreshman Emannuel Addo, whoredshirted last season. Addo had7 points and 7 rebounds in sevenminutes of play.

The leading scorer from lastyear’s matchup, UNC’s DevonBeitzel, had 18 points and returnsfor his senior season. Beitzel iscoming back from a foot injurysuffered on Feb. 13 at Weber Statethat forced him to miss the lastseven games of the season,including the opening round winand quarterfinal loss of the

CollegeInsider.com Tournament. UNC will have plenty of height
