The Center for PeerEducation transforms theUniversity Center Ballroomsinto a bingo hall severaltimes each semester to helpeducate students aboutdrugs and alcohol and

encourage students to makesmart decisions.

Bingo games are hostedWednesday nights to providestudents an alternative toother notorious Wednesday-night activities. Five morebingo games will be hostedthis semester and six in thespring.

Although bingo is oftenassociated with the elderly,the CPE staff makes sure todeviate from that stereotype.

“It’s a lot more fun thanyou think it is,” said JenGamarano, a junior journal-ism major. “It’s not just forold ladies.”

Students who attendedbingo games last year willnotice a few differences thisyear in terms of prizes. This

year, CPE is giving away UNCgear, gift cards and tickets tosporting events.

UNC Student Radio willprovide tunes as well as vari-ous concert tickets as a prize

at every other bingo game,including tonight’s game.

“We combine fun energyand educational material,”said William Schiffelbein, adrug and alcohol educatorwith CPE.

CPE members’ goal is toeducate UNC students with-out judgment.

“CPE is unique becauseCPE students are educatingtheir peers,” said KelsiStreich, a graduate assistantfor the Drug, Alcohol andTobacco Education Office.“CPE does not condemnstudents for their decisions,but educates about issuesfacing our campus and howthe decisions we makeaffect not only us but thegreater community.”

On average, there aremore than 200 studentswho attend bingo games,but attendance is expect-ed to rise as the semestercontinues.

“Homecoming is thegame with the biggestturnout,” Schiffelbein said.

CPE hosts other eventsthroughout the schoolyear, as well. These eventsinclude a comedian onOct. 18, AlcoholAwareness Week eventsduring the week of Oct. 17,Tobacco Awareness WeekNov. 14-18, and “Did YouNotice Me Last Night?”from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. todayoutside the UC.

Nottingham Field fits about8,500 people, so there is noexcuse as to why the stadiumwasn’t filled to capacity whenthe football team opened itsseason on Saturday.

Why the student bleacherswere only a third full (notcounting the band) for the firstgame of the season is pathetic.

Last season’s openeragainst Adams State was sopacked that people were afraidto leave their seats for a sodafor fear of not having a place tostand when they returned.That’s how Saturday’s game

should have been.It’s understandable if people

didn’t recognize Lindenwood’sname and because of thatthought it was an easy win,making it not important to go.But not going to a football gamebecause of that thought processshould not happen.

It’s understandable if peoplechose/had to go home for LaborDay weekend. That probablyplayed a part in the lacklusterturnout. It’s understandable ifprior plans had been arranged,but the point remains: Nobodyshould be complaining today.

Our football team was facedwith a quality opponent. NAIAteam or not, Lindenwood was atough team that gave UNC afight different from what theBears will see in Big Sky play.

The four-fifths of the stu-dent body who couldn’t bebothered to attend a footballgame should not complainabout the outcome. If peopleweren’t there to support theteam to begin with, they haveno right to start bashing theplayers, coaches or program. Ifpeople couldn’t spare a fewhours to support their own

school’s football team, theyshouldn’t start acting like theylegitimately cared all along.

If people cared, theywould have been in thestands, wearing one of thoseawesome “It’s Game Day” teesand yelling until it hurts. Thatis the proper way to support afootball team, or any team forthat matter.

The fact that the Bears lostis irrelevant.

But the apathy that thisschool continues to showtoward its football team cannotbe ignored.

Lackluster turnout denies students excuses to complain

In standup comedy, thebest and the worst arereferred to as entertain-

ers of varying skill and talent. If they’re bad, they’re bad

entertainers. If they’re good,they’re still entertainers. In liter-ature, on the other hand, thefunniest novelists are not enter-tainers, but artists. Both profes-sions are built on a person’sability to find new life in oldwords. Practitioners of both areexpected to tell a story with afresh point of view. And bothcan obsess for hours or weeksover a single turn of phrase. But

we separate them, presumablyby their intentions, money-wise.

Regardless of intention, oneof the most hilarious novels ofthe past century, “Catch-22,” isalso among the most successful.More to the point, comedianswho don’t expect to make adime occupy every Americanbar and club stages every week-end. So, it’s not a matter ofmoney.

Function doesn’t play a legiti-mate role in the distinctioneither. Kurt Vonnegut’s storiesare as entertaining as any come-dian’s set, and Steve Martin pro-duced comedy as artful as anygreat novel. We want talentedentertainers to make us thinkand discover, and we want tal-ented artists to surprise anddelight us. But we still draw a linebetween entertainment and art.

The trouble with this stems

from both the audience experi-ence and the entertainer’s expe-rience because,on the whole, wevalue entertainment as some-thing less noble or “important”than art. If we expect less fromentertainers than we do fromartists, they are bound to deliv-er. Expecting things at all isdamaging when we distinguishbetween two groups.

Art is defined by its ability tobreak the norm. If we don’texpect entertainers to do this,we will be disappointed whenthey cross boundaries. Whatdoes this mean for a mediumlike, for example, comic books,which are books in the strictestsense but often not comical atall? What does it mean for anactor (full disclosure: I meanme) whose “work” consists ofsolving problems by makingnew ones, but whose “job” is to

entertain an audience? It gets even hairier when we

draw lines based on genre. Whatis the difference in purposebetween art film and commer-cial film? What is the differencebetween a pop musician and ajazz musician aside from theirdiffering impulses?

It’s time we discard the dis-tinction altogether. Art con-sumers want to be entertained,and they should be. Entertainerswant respect for their art, andthey should have it, unlessthey’re bad at what they do, inwhich case it doesn’t matter ifthey’re artists or entertainers orperformers or traveling sales-men. The bad ones are just bad.Let us raise the bar.

KARL HONEGGER

Mark Maxwell’sstatement thatwealthy citi-

zens should define them-selves by how much morethey have to give in taxes isfrightening. A better under-standing of economics wouldhave helped with under-standing how taxes work.

Every dollar that thewealthy have and earn willeventually be spent on a prod-uct or service that benefits thepoor. This is why taxing therich negatively effects the poor.

Of course, there are morepoor than there are rich, andsome money gets taken outof the system by incometaxes, but the flow of moneyin an economy will end upbenefiting the poor.

College-level economicsteaches that wealth is not aone-size pie. Instead,through the innovation,intelligence and hard work ofAmericans, the pie can grow.

The problem with the gov-ernment trying to cut a largershare out of the pie is thatHauser’s Law states no morethan 19.5 percent of GDP canbe collected through incometaxes (which target the rich).Therefore, raising higher rev-enues through taxes will onlywork when you increase thesize of the pie.

Basic economics teachesthat taxes create inefficiencyand a deadweight loss.Economist Arthur Laffer hasfound that 30 cents of everydollar is wasted in complyingwith and collecting incometaxes. This means that when

we try and take from the richto give to the poor, the poorand the rich both end upwith less money.

Poor people can’t givepoor people jobs; rather, it isthose who control the wealth

who give jobs because theyknow how to create it. It isthe government’s responsi-bility to let the rich give thepoor opportunities.

Frat boy culture ruining Americaone financial crisis at a timeBENJAMIN SCHIFFELBEIN

Contrary to popu-lar belief, it isnot elite, secret

societies that pose a dan-ger to people; rather, it’s acollection of fraternitiesand sororities, all attempt-ing to promote their mem-bers from mediocrity tofame via booze, sex, anddisillusionment.

More threatening, how-ever, is how Greek Life hasbecome a paradigm of“involvement” at collegesand universities across thenation. This ruinous trendnot only leeches funding

from students, but recruitsstudents by pretending tosupport charitable organiza-tions and offer leadershipopportunities.

Under normal circum-stances, we would considerthese sorts of organizations’fronts; here, however, we areintended to praise theirefforts and the “leaders” theyproduce.

These leadership qualitiesare anything but beneficial,however, and the frat boyculture espoused by such“leaders” that dominatedWall Street and the WhiteHouse for most of the previ-ous decade contributed

greatly to the current eco-nomic crisis.

Wanton disregard forthe law and the security ofothers in fraternities leadsto wanton disregard forregulations and lawswhen in actual leadershippositions.

Complete indifference tothe harmful effects of theirwomanizing behavior in fra-ternities leads to a completeindifference to the millions oflives ruined by fraudulentand avaricious investing. Andif patriotism is the virtue ofthe vicious, then certainlyblind obedience to one’s fra-ternity or sorority must be

the virtue of the ignorant. College is not about

getting involved and learn-ing from one’s insignifi-cant student leadershipopportunities; it’s aboutgoing to class, opening abook, and learning fromthe brilliant minds ofthose who have comebefore us.

If you want to makesomething of yourself, don’tget involved outside theclassroom — get involvedinside the classroom.

Economics teaches poor need wealthy

parts of the world.David Trussell, the

museum designer, said hethinks about 85 percent ofvisitors come from placesoutside of Greeley.

“We looked at the guestbook for one day last weekand there were peoplefrom three foreign coun-tries and six states in justone day,” Trussell said.

He said he researchedmuseums around theworld for several years, vis-iting places like Germanyand New Jersey. He said hewas able to decide whatstrategies worked and didnot work for museums.

The Greeley FreightStation Museum is self-sufficient, and all of themoney used to build itwas raised privately.

The museum is now

run by over 280 volun-teers from all around thestate, and all costs arepaid for by four sources:donations, admissions,special tour groups andpurchases made at thegift shop.

Trussell said hebecame interested intrains in his childhoodwhen he lived with hisgrandpa who worked at arail yard. Later in life,

Trussell became a pub-lisher but remained inter-ested in trains and build-ing model railroads.

“I am doing exactlywhat I’m supposed to bedoing,” Trussell said. “Itjust took me a long timeto figure that out.”

The museum alsooffers UNC students aninternship experience,which is open to allmajors. An internship

with GFSM is most bene-ficial for students pursu-ing art or businessdegrees.

The museum is kid-friendly, providing a scav-enger hunt for children,which guides childrenthrough the museum, andan actual caboose toexplore.

“You get all aspects ofpeople that are coming inhere: train enthusiasts,people that have workedon railroads and grandpar-ents and grandkids of thoseenthusiasts,” said JohnEisman, the GFSM boarddirector. “That really is thefun part about watchingthe kids and watching theirenthusiasm.”

Campus is even morebustling this year withstudents to fill classroomseats thanks to an enroll-ment increase at UNC.

At the University ofNorthern Colorado,enrollment has increasedby 1.9 percent, or 227 stu-dents, raising the totalnumber of students to12,389, according toUNC’s website.

The university has acomprehensive strategyguide that allows forplanning in the shortterm and long term forenrollment increases.Therefore, this increasewas not a surprise toEnrollment Managementand Student Access.

The enrollment increasewas across a variety of sub-groups, including fresh-men, undergraduates andgraduates. However, thenumber of transfer stu-dents decreased slightly byabout 15 students.

New freshmen resi-dence has increased by 37students, or 1.6 percent,undergraduate enroll-ment increased by 130students, or 1.3 percent,and graduate enrollmentincreased by 97 students,or 4.6 percent.

According to statisticsfrom Randall Langston, exec-utive director for EnrollmentManagement, the UNCminority populationincreased by 3.47 percentwith the Latino Hispanicgroup rising to about 2,589students, or 20.9 percent ofthe total population.

While females makeup the majority of UNC’spopulation, the malepopulation increased by6.93 percent.

“We’re very friendlyfor access to college,”Langston said. “There is areal team effort amongstthe entire faculty on cam-pus to recruit academi-cally sound students toUNC.”

For students who wantmore out of their cinematicadventures than what“Shark Night 3D” or“Apollo 18” have to offer,UNC’s International FilmSeries has returned for its38th year of screening filmsfrom across the globe.

IFS was first organizedin 1973 and is a facultyproject that receives helpfrom a wide array of skilledand knowledgeable stu-dent volunteers.

IFS’s goal is to broadenthe horizons of UNC stu-dents through film. Theseries specializes in filmsthat students would notnormally be able to seebecause a majority do notsee wide releases in theaverage AMC or Cinemark.

The films IFS offers,such as the horror film“Peeping Tom,” the 1960precursor to Hitchcock’s“Psycho,” and “Biutiful,” a2010 Oscar-nominated

Spanish neo-fantasy filmstarring Javier Bardem, arevery much outside theaverage college student’susual cinematic taste.

Some of the films aredecades old, and others aresubtitled. April Miller, aprofessor of film studies atUNC, works closely withIFS and assists the IFS fac-ulty adviser, KennethChan, an assistant profes-sor of film studies, inselecting and procuring the

films that the seriesscreens.

“ S t a t i s t i c a l l y ,Americans are far less likelyto watch a film that is sub-titled than, say, Frenchfilmgoers, and I think that’sa shame,” Miller said. “IFSis our attempt to accultur-ate students to watchingfilms that might be outsideof their comfort zone, per-haps because of contentbut also because they aresubtitled and, thus, less

‘easy’ to watch than stan-dard Hollywood fare,”Miller explained.

The films are not simplyscreened on a television ina classroom; the films areshown in MichenerLibrary’s LindouAuditorium on a largescreen in 35mm theatricalprint.

Additionally, for thefirst time in IFS history,the screenings are free forstudents. Because IFSreceives most of its fund-ing through student fees,the organization believesthat students deserve toattend the screenings forfree.

In years past, the seriescharged a $3 admissionprice, but now studentscan save their money andtake in a film. Many stu-dents are already enjoyingthe films and taking part inIFS itself.

Taryn Malila, a juniorEnglish major and assis-tant director of studentvolunteers, has embracedIFS as a part of her life.

“I loved coming totheir films, and I knewthey needed help withvolunteers,” Milila said.“So I just showed up oneday, and they gave mestuff to do, and I neverleft.”

Like Miller, Malila isexcited that students willbe seeing films theywould not normallyselect. Students who wantto get involved with IFScan contact her atunco.IFS@gmail.com.

However, students donot have to be a memberof IFS to enjoy its films.Jacob Harvey, a seniorEnglish major, said hisfavorite part of IFS is thevariety of films.

“They don’t limitthemselves to one genre— or even one country,”Harvey said. “It’s alsovery cheap and easy to getto.”

With so many passion-ate people at work behindthe scenes, IFS has a goodoutlook for a quality fallseason.

In a game that saw theUNC football team escapedanger on several occasions,the team’s luck finally ran outin the final seconds of the sea-son-opening 22-20 loss toLindenwood University fromSt. Charles, MO.

After a field goal put theUniversity of NorthernColorado up 20-19 with justmore than a minute to go inthe fourth quarter, the Lionsgot a 44-yard kick return andproceeded to go 44 yards intheir next seven plays, settingup a 21-yard field goal withtwo seconds left. The kicksailed through the uprights asthe time ran out, and theLions poured onto the field incelebration.

“It didn’t turn outexactly as we planned, butwe learned some valuablethings in this game,” UNChead coach EarnestCollins Jr. said.

The Bears moved downthe field on their openingdrive, capping it with sopho-more quarterback SethLobato’s swing pass on 4th-

and-1 from the 7-yard line tosenior running back DavidDeans, who scored for anearly 7-0 lead.

Injuries brought downUNC, though, as both Deansand Lobato would be injuredin the first and second quar-ters, respectively.

With a 7-6 lead followingtwo Lindenwood field goals,UNC junior safety MarcelGibbons forced and recov-ered a fumble to stop theLions’ momentum in thesecond quarter, opening thedoor for Deans’ replace-ment, sophomore QuintinHildreth, to score from nineyards out, putting the Bearsup 14-6. Deans was cartedto the locker room with aright knee injury andreturned to the sidelineslater on crutches.

The Lions got their firsttouchdown on the nextdrive, cutting UNC’s lead to14-13. The game went intohalftime with that score, butLobato — who had beensacked and injured rightbefore the break — wouldnot return in the game.

UNC senior quarterbackDylan Orms, who lost hisstarting position to Lobato in

fall camp, played the entiresecond half, completing 5-of-10 passes for 65 yards.

“Seeing Seth go down, itwas hard because I know howmuch he worked to get hisfirst start, so that wasn’tsomething I wanted to seehappen,” Orms said. “Butwe’ve got guys like Hildreththat can step in at runningback, and I was glad I could goout there and do what I did.”

Late in the third quarter,UNC senior defensive backElliott Dorsey interceptedLU junior quarterback JohnUribe’s pass at the three-yard line to stop the Lions’scoring threat.

With four minutes gone inthe final quarter, LU juniorrunning back DenodusO’Bryant caught a short passand scampered 71 yards for atouchdown, showing why hewas the most dangerousoffensive player the Lionshad. O’Bryant finished thegame with 65 rushing yardsand 97 receiving yards alongwith the touchdown. For notknowing much about UNC’sdefense coming in, O’Bryantwas happy he could help gethis team the win.

“I heard they had a lot of

guys coming back, whichwe didn’t have much of abig report on them,” hesaid. “The coaches saidthey are physical and theyare going to come lay thewood on you.”

After the game, Collinssaid he was impressedwith O’Bryant.

“The running back is whatwe thought he was: a tremen-dous football player,” he said.

Orms managed to createdrives to put sophomore kick-er Dave Eden in position fortwo field goals, briefly givingthe Bears their final lead of thegame. With less than aminute left, the little luck theBears had ran out.

LU junior receiver AndrewHelmick made a bobblingcatch inside the 5-yard line,and after having a run playstuffed, sophomore JamesNeal was in position for hisgame-winning kick.

UNC players weren’texpecting this tough-luckloss, but it’s one the team willlearn from.

“I thought we weregoing to come in here androll (Lindenwood), but wecan’t sleep on anyone, andwe know that now,”

Gibbons said.Despite the loss, there

is no shortage of confi-dence going into UNC’snext game with ColoradoState, which is at noonSaturday in Fort Collins.

“This is going to be a hardone to get over,” Orms said.“This is only going to be moremotivation for the CSU game.People are going to be think-ing that we don’t even have a

shot, especially after today —losing to a school that mostpeople thought we should’vebeat, but maybe it wasbecause we put so muchemphasis on the CSU game. Iknow that it means a lot toeverybody on this team,everybody that’s been a Bear,everybody in the community,so they can all expect us tofight, give everything that wehave in that game.”

Don’t lose faith in football team with only one loss

Let’s all do our-selves a favor andrelax a little bit.

I’m not the least bithappy about our footballteam losing to Lindenwoodeither, and pardon me forbeing an optimist, but hereit comes.

Many people — including

some of the players — prob-ably thought we would winhandily. And we probablyshould have, but it was clearthat UNC was not the betterfootball team on the field.

I hate to say that, andI’m sorry if it’s earth-shat-tering news for anybody,but it’s the truth.

UNC ran into a very goodteam, and that was evi-denced with a few things.

For starters,Lindenwood’s running back,Denodus O’Bryant, couldprobably start for any teamin the Big Sky. That guy did-n’t play around. He shredded

our defense like it was hisjob, and our players couldn’tdo a thing to stop him.

Another thing that wentagainst the Bears was theadded difficulty of winning agame when the startingquarterback and runningback both get injured. Iknow there’s nothing thatcan be done to really preventthat — except maybe betterblocking — but injuries are apart of the game.

With a new coachingstaff, you’d expect there to besome rust. I know I expecteda little bit, like maybe a guymisses a blocking assign-

ment or a linebacker missesa tackle. But in no way, shapeor form did I expect a loss.

I don’t think anybodydid. While walking to thegame, my roommate askedme what team UNC wasplaying because he couldn’tremember. Upon hearing“Lindenwood,” he said,“Wait, isn’t that a highschool team?”

Well, any other NAIAteam might have beenworthy of that compari-son, but this wasn’t anyordinary NAIA team. Notonly is Lindenwood in theprocess of moving to

NCAA Division II, but theschool is leaving a periodof time where it rolledover NAIA teams.

This program is 66-19over the last seven years,has won its conferencethree times, advanced tothe NAIA playoffs five timesand reached the title gameonce in 2009 when theLions lost by three. NAIAprogram or not, that’s animpressive run.

The Lions also averagedclose to 53 points a game lastyear, including a 90-19 win.Losing by two points on alast-second field goal doesn’t

sound so bad now, does it? Idon’t care if it’s NAIA compe-tition or not, you don’t score90 points without talent.

In time, our team willhave success. Hey, we were ablocked field goal away fromhaving this column be happyand filled with sunshine andsnowcones, right?

It’s one game, everybody.Let’s have some faith in ourcoaches and our players toget it right next time.

Ex-volleyball player returns to team on coaching staffDAVID WILSON

sports@uncmirror.com

Her playing careerended in 2009 with thefirst Big Sky Conferencechampionship in UNC

h i s t o -ry andt h ef i r s tN C A At o u r -

nament appearance inschool history in anysport.

Her love for theUniversity of NorthernColorado and for theBears’ volleyball programdidn’t leave upon gradu-ation but instead was theleading factor in herdecision to return as agraduate student and thedirector of volleyballoperations.

Breanna Van Der Mostfinished her career in blueand gold with 1,517 digs,which ranks seventh inthe UNC record booksand 11th all-time in theBig Sky Conference. Her

numbers solidi-fied her as oneof the mostw e l l - k n o w nliberos to callGreeley home,and becauseUNC hasbecome justthat, choosing agraduate pro-gram to furtherher aspirationsof becoming acounselor waseasy.

“UNC is my home, andI’m comfortable here,”Van Der Most said. “I had

already spentfour great yearshere, whichhelped moldme.”

After receiv-ing word thatshe had made itinto the gradu-ate program,Van Der Mostwas approachedby Bears’ headcoach LyndseyBenson aboutan opening in

the volleyball staff. Thedecision to add the formerBears standout was an easyone, Benson said, and theassistance Van Der Mostbrings to the coaching staffhas been evident.

“She was my firstthought since she wasgoing to be here for threeyears,” Benson said. “Sheis very organized, sheunderstands the gameand she has that mindset,so I thought she would bea perfect fit. All those littleextras we do as coaches,Breanna is doing thatnow, and it’s been a hugehelp.”

Not only were thecoaches happy to have aproduct of their own sys-tem join them, but play-ers like senior defensivespecialist AmandaArterburn were thrilled tohave a former teammateand leader back along thebench.

“She taught me a lotabout the skill part of thegame, but she also taughtme how to lead and howto lead as a libero in theback row,” Arterburnsaid. “It’s really specialbecause when I heard shewas coming back, I knew

I’d have her to look overto on the bench. She haslittle things to say to fireme up or calm me down.She’s a good medium.”

The adjustment frombeing a leader on thecourt as a player to beinga leader from afar will bean unusual change.

Van Der Most said shewill continue to talk toplayers as friends andpeers while still honoringher staff member statusand her part on thecoaching staff.

The biggest change in

prospective from being aplayer to being a staffmember for Van DerMost was witnessing thework put into the Bears’program behind thescenes.

“You realize how muchwork and time the coach-es put into this,” Van DerMost said. “As a player,you know your coachesare staying till 8 p.m., buton this end, I’m doing it.But because of theamount of work they putin, that’s what makes ourprogram successful.”
