During the past sixyears, Father GaryThomas has been workingthrough the CatholicChurch in the ExorcistMinistry as a Vatican-trained exorcist.
On Tuesday, he stoppedby the University CenterBallrooms to share hisexperiences with exorcismsand demonic presences tocap off a two-day eventhosted by Bear Catholic.
Nearly 700 peopleshowed up to listen toThomas explain the truthabout exorcisms. As apriest in the exorcist min-istry, Thomas is a verycredible source whendealing with exorcisms.
“This ministry is aministry of healing,”Thomas said.
He has found thatmost people who come tosee him find a solutionthrough different types ofhealing. During the sixyears Thomas has been inthe exorcist ministry, hehas helped about 125 peo-ple and performed adozen exorcisms.
While most of Thomas’patients believe there issome type of demonicpresence within theirlives, it is only found truefor about 10 percent. Theother 90 percent are typi-cally suffering from amental disease.
Thomas was offeredthe position as an exorcistwhen in Rome. Heinstantly accepted and hasbeen performing the riteof exorcisms ever since.
While in Rome, Thomasstudied with journalistMatt Baglio who wrote abook titled “The Rite,”which captures theessence of the exorcismsthat Thomas performed.
Last year, “The Rite” wasmade into a movie. Thomashelped co-star AnthonyHopkins master the correctway to perform exorcisms.The way Hopkins portraysThomas in the movie is trueto the procedures used dur-ing an exorcism.
“The movie coincideswith what Father Thomasspoke about tonight,” saidAngie Gomez, a seniorphysical education major.“It portrays the realness ofexorcisms and gives somecredibility to Hollywood.”
Gomez believed theUNC campus could beaffected by the speechgiven by Thomas becauseit offers solid truth aboutexorcisms and arguesthey are, in fact, real.
“Exorcisms are inter-esting to learn aboutbecause you don’t hearmuch about them inGreeley,” said SydneyHintz, a freshman unde-cided major.
To decipher whethera patient is dealing witha demon or fighting amental health problem,Thomas works with ateam including a med-ical doctor, clinical psy-chologist, psychiatristand a lay person who isdescribed as havingunique qualities thatallow her to communi-cate with spirits andrecognize demonicpresences.
With the variety ofpeople involved in theprocess, Thomas is able todetermine the best solu-tion to aid the patient to ahealthy solution.
Thomas continues toexplain there are manydifferent levels of theexorcist ministry,including discussion,prayer and truth.Thomas teachesdemons are a very realthing, and anyone canencounter them.
“Lead a strong sacra-mental life, faith life,prayer life and moral lifeto stay protected,”Thomas said.

The election has passed, theyard signs have been taken downand hopefully this pastThanksgiving holiday wasn’t full ofpolitically-charged attacks as youasked your uncle to pass the gravy.
The country deserves a sub-stantial break from the world ofpolitics, but for the residents ofGreeley and farmers of WeldCounty, more is at stake.
The state of Colorado has seenone of its most devastatingdroughts in recent years this pastsummer, while the farming andranching community surroundingthe university continues to struggle.
The 2008 Farm Bill expired
Sept. 30, which continues to hinderthe lifeblood that is Greeley: thefarming and ranching community.The five-year reauthorization bill,known as the 2012 Farm Bill, wasset to bring the needed assuranceto Weld County farmers as theycontinued to recover from severedrought conditions.
The Democrat-controlledSenate approved the five-yearextension, leaving it up to theHouse of Representatives to deter-mine the fate of Weld Countyfarmers. Even after the ObamaAdministration and HouseAgricultural Committee approvedthe bill, Cory Gardner, Greeley’s
House representative, joinedRepublican leadership and disal-lowed the bill to reach a vote.
This didn’t completely kill thebill but significantly decreased itschances of passing. Now the billcontinues to live in limbo as theRepublican leadership is only leftto blame.
The irony of this situation con-tinues to be how many Republicanslive in Greeley while so manyDemocrats supported the 2012Farm Bill, including the president.
Congressional District Four,which spans the entire eastern bor-der of Colorado and is home toGreeley, is the 11th most produc-
tive agricultural district in thenation, while Weld County ranks inthe top 10 for agricultural produc-tion in the U.S.
As Congress has adjournedfor the lame duck session, hopefor Republicans to pass the five-year reauthorization is not high.It’s expected to only get a one-year reauthorization and pass onto the 113th Congress set tobegin Jan. 3, 2013.
For a city, district and countythat religiously trusts theirRepublican leadership, it is theDemocrats leading the charge tosupport the farming and ranchingcommunity in Greeley.
Republicans continue to block Greeley farmer assistance
Last year, a disappointing-ly low number of stu-dents went to the
University Center to cast their voteand have their voices heard in theschool’s Student Senate elections.In a fashion seen fit by severalmembers of last year’s Senate, aproposal was initiated that wouldrestructure the current student rep-resentation. Whether or not anyoneunderstood what they were actuallyvoting for, the initiative passed.
The proposal was aimed atmaking Senate positions more effi-
cient and effective while promotinga more diverse representation over-all. Realistically, several electedpositions that were generated in thepast simply have no place or rea-sonable amount of responsibilitiesin this current campus environ-ment. So, out with the old and inwith the new.
Over the past several months, theStudent Senate has been working onrewriting its bylaws and trying to sortout the mess of the past. I have seenso myself. Restructuring meetings golong into the nights. Externalities andtroubleshooting are a commontheme in the Senate office.
Regardless of the current obsta-cles, this spring, students will have agreater opportunity to become apart of their Senate. Oh, and there isno need to worry about the popu-
larity contest of the past for most ofthe new positions.
Essentially, each individual col-lege will elect three candidates torepresent the respective CollegeStudent Council. If you are a busi-ness major, for example, you will beable to run and vote for positionsof your own college — The MonfortCollege of Business.
Along with these individualCollege Student Council positions,there will be three major positionson Student Senate that all studentswill be able to run and vote for.
If this all seems a little confus-ing, that’s because it is.
Although this orchestrationseems more complicated than inyears past, this new system doesallow for more diverse representa-tion. Students will be able to repre-
sent constituents in their collegewho are more likely to be investedin the same things. The days of theGreek Life monopoly on Senate aregoing to come to a halt this spring.Elections will no longer be aboutwho has the most friends.
If you are interested in runningfor a position, get a head start now.In the words of T.J. Sullivan, a moti-vational speaker and writer who’sniche is higher education and stu-dent-organizational leadership:“Think you want the position?Make it known at the very start ofthe semester that you intend to run,and then spend your time lookingcompetent to lead. Don’t be coy bysaying, ‘I might run.’”

Last night, the worldpremier of “Queen Lear”graced the stage of UNC’sLangworthy Theaterlocated in Frasier Hall.
Running until Dec. 2,this unconventionaladaptation on theShakespearean classicfeatures guest artist LucyPeacock playing the roleof Queen Lear, not thetraditional King Lear. Setin the Scottish isles dur-ing the 5th and 6th cen-tury, director DavidGrapes invokes a newcultural backdrop to this
gender-twisting tale. Told in retrospect,
Peacock’s queenly role asa shamanistic triballeader is groundbreakingin the creation of conflictwithin the plot. As thequeen realizes that hertime has come to stepdown and allow herdaughters to rise up asnew leaders, turmoilerupts amongst thegreedy daughters, allexcept for Cordelia.
Cordelia must suffer afate that exposes her tothe margins of the king-dom, while Queen Learquickly falls into a hyste-ria stemming from those
who she thought lovedand respected her most.
As the truth is unveiled,Queen Lear experiences afallout that causes nothingshort of a tragedy whichkeeps the intensity of theplay constantly pushingtoward a resolution.
A performance thatpromises to be rivetingwhile ruthless, QueenLear will usher in a the-atrical composition likeno other. The productionincludes some musiccomposed by UNC stu-dent Anna Landy andperformances by world-renown guest artist.“Queen Lear” is guaran-
teed to illustrate issuessurrounding the humancondition that transcendhistory and apply tomodern-day society.
Recently recognizedby playbill.com, a note-worthy theatre reviewwebsite, “Queen Lear”has already been nation-ally recognized with asurge of interest from theGreeley community.
With showings through-out the weekend, QueenLear plays 7:30 p.m. Nov. 30and Dec. 1 and at 2 p.m.Dec. 2. Tickets are stillavailable and for moreinformation, call (970) 351-2200 or visit arts.unco.edu.

Guest star Lucy Peacock and a fellow actor performin a scene from UNC’s production of “Queen Lear,”which premiered Thursday in Langworthy Theater.
The French FilmSeries showedthe final film of
its collection this pastTuesday night inCandelaria Hall. “Lechâteau de ma mere” or“My Mother’s Castle” isthe story of a young boywho falls in love with hisfamily’s summer vaca-tion home and finds outthat it’s not the locationwhere he spends his holi-
days that has created somany memories butrather the people hespent those times with.
Marcel Pagnol (JulienCiamaca) is a very intelli-gent young boy who hasfallen in love with thehills of Provence, France.So much so that he day-dreams about hisbeloved hills day andnight. His father Joseph(Philippe Caubère), who
is a teacher, strives forhis son to be the verybest student he can pos-sibly be. Marcel couldcare less about hisschoolwork and doeseverything he can toreturn to his place ofadoration.
Director Yves Robertdoes a magnificent job incapturing the majesty ofthe hills of Provence; it’sso enticing and beautifulto the viewer’s eye: vastlyenormous trees and avariety of bushes withblooming flowers ofevery size, shape andcolor. The movie mademe want to visit theFrench countryside to dosome exploring of myown.
This film is mildlyoverdramatic in theamount of emphasisplaced on blasé topicssuch as breaking minuterules to defining genderroles, but it keeps thingslight with its corky senseof humor throughout.
As the film progresses,the family spends moreand more time at itshome in the hills whereMarcel encounters hisfirst love and loss, cre-ates long-lasting friend-ships and recognizes theimportance of family.The film concludes witha good overall messageto its audience, that lifemust come to an end,and in some cases itcomes back around full
circle to remind you ofyour past.
This film is the sequelto “My Father’s Glory,”which was also extremelywell-received by audi-ences around the world.Both films are part of anautobiographical storytold by the directorthrough the eyes of theyoung Marcel.
This film is extremelywell-written and the dia-logue works very wellwith the plot. As does thebeautiful orchestralmusic that is heardthroughout the filmwhenever the family isenjoying each other’scompany in the hills theyhave all come to love.The film was extremely
different from what I hadexpected, which is thecase for most foreignfilms, but it was welldone and deserves ascreening by any interna-tional film lovers.
“My Mother’s Castle”was nominated for avariety of Cesar awards(which is French equiva-lent to our Oscars),including Best CostumeDesign, Best Music, BestSupporting Actress andMost Promising Actor. Italso won Best Film at the1991 SeattleInternational FilmFestival.

The regular season maybe over for the UNC volley-ball team, but the postsea-son will present a wholenew set of challenges.
With a 3-2 win Saturdayagainst Idaho State atButler-Hancock SportsPavilion, the teamadvanced to the NCAA forthe third time in four years.
The University ofNorthern Colorado (24-10,14-6 Big Sky) will take onthe Oregon Ducks 9 p.m.tonight in Eugene, Ore., andthe Ducks (25-4, 16-4 Pac-12) are ranked No. 6 nation-ally and are the fifth seed inthe tournament. The Bearswill take on Oregon for thesecond time in school histo-ry, losing 3-1 the first timein 2004.
For senior outside hitterKelley Arnold, this will beher third and final timetraveling to the NCAATournament. She was withthe team on its trips in 2009to Fort Collins and in 2011to Hawaii.
“I kind of have an ideaof what to expect, but everyplace is different, and
we’ve never played on theOregon home court, so it’sgoing to be a lot of fun, andI’m really excited,” Arnoldsaid.
Because Arnold hasbeen to the NCAATournament two timesprior to tonight, she can beportrayed as a leader forthe younger players.
“With this freshmanclass, they are so motivatedalready and whenever theyget out on the court theyare going to give their 100percent,” Arnold said. “Inever have to worry aboutthem being motivated orworking hard or wanting itjust as bad as I do, so italmost makes it easier tolead out on the court forthem because they want itjust as much as I do.”
Freshman setter AllieHutcheson, who saw a lotof time on the court thisseason but more as an out-side hitter, said going to theNCAA for the first timebrought a lot of emotionsto her as a young player.
“I’m so excited, and it’llbe so much fun and such agood experience — goingto play at Oregon,”Hutcheson said. “It’s a big,
fun, pretty place, so it’ll beexciting to go play thereand play big, hard volley-ball.”
The Ducks have a fewkey strengths that will bringan advantage for themagainst UNC. Bears headcoach Lyndsey Oates talkedin practice this week abouthow UNC should face thosechallenges tonight.
“Four of their five hit-
ters are going to be toughto defend,” Oates said.“They’re going to get somekills, and I think how werespond to that will beimportant that it doesn’tfrustrate us and that wejust move on to the nextplay and score back atthem or steal one on thenext point.”
Oregon ranks No. 1 inthe NCAA in kills per set
with 15.90 and has an over-all .292 hitting percentage.Ducks senior outside hitterAlaina Bergsma con-tributes to those statistics,with 476 kills and a .338attack percentage this sea-son. This year, Bergsmawas also named Pac-12 vol-leyball Player of the Year.Oregon sophomore outsidehitter Liz Brenner joinedBergsma on the All-Pac-12team with her 379 kills thisseason.
Even though Oregon is ahighly-ranked team, Oatesexpressed great confidencewith the team after the endof the regular season.
“I am proud, especiallyof how we finished with theBig Sky Tournament, and Ithink each year gets a littlebit better of how weapproach the tournament,”Oates said. “Our seniors —who this is their third year— should be more confi-dent and more preparedfor what to expect, and Ithink, as a whole, will bemore prepared this yearthan they have ever been.”
The Bears and Ducksbegin at 9 p.m. tonight atOregon for the first roundof the NCAA Tournament.

Dining Services is pro-viding students with tips onhow to spice up their every-day food options with thelatest installment of itscooking demos. On themenu Wednesday, pastadishes were created atHolmes Dining Hall.
This cooking demo wasone of four that were hostedduring this fall semester; twowere held in Toby-Kendalland two in Holmes, all withdifferent food themes.
Twenty-five seats wereavailable, and guests couldattend the demo by buyinga meal at the door, using astudent meal card or usingfaculty and staff payrolldeduction.
Hosting the event wereJason Kearns, the unit chefat Holmes, and Jay Wilson,the lead cook. Kearns start-ed off the demo by giving
the audience informationon the background of pasta,introducing different typesof pasta and their transla-tions from Italian toEnglish. He also passed outpackets to the audiencewith general and fun infor-mation about pasta and dif-ferent recipes.
Kearns turned the demoover to Wilson, who passedout a demonstration of hisown creation, made withbutternut squash, candiedalmonds and homemaderigatoni pasta.
Wilson demonstratedhow to prepare the doughfor pasta and how to shapedifferent pastas like tortelli-ni, ravioli and noodles forchicken noodle soup. Afterpreparing the noodles,Wilson made sauce for thedifferent pastas and gavetips on measurement andusing one’s taste to deter-mine flavor instead of exactmeasurements.
When the pasta was fin-ished cooking, the crowdwas treated to samplings ofthe food. Michael Trujillo,an exploring freshman,praised the dishes.
“It’s great,” Trujillo said.“I just wish there was moreof it.”
Rosa Figueroa, a fresh-man audiology and speechlanguage sciences majormajor, had nothing butcompliments for both thefood and demonstration.
“It was amazing,”Figueroa said. “I wasn’t sureif I would like it, but thedemonstration was actuallyfun, and the food was fan-tastic. It’s good to know thechefs at UNC know whatthey are doing.”
After the demonstration,Wilson, who has been cook-ing since he was 16 and hasworked at many high-endrestaurants and hotels,expressed how pleased hewas with the demo and how
it affects the relationshipbetween students and din-ing services.
“It’s important to inter-act with the students,”Wilson said. “It makes thestaff more approachableand not so intimidating. It’salso a great opportunity forstudents to get involvedwith and voice their opin-ions.”
The cooking demos thatDining Services offer are aunique way for members ofUNC or the community toget involved and have activevoices within the diningcommunity
“Demos let studentsgain new insight aboutwhat the dining halls cando,” said Aran Essig,executive chef of diningservices. “Cooks andchefs also get to sharetheir creativity and getstudent feedback thatcan be incorporated intonew meals.”

As an opportunity forall Bears to showcasetheir unique abilities,UNC’s Got Talent audi-tions were held Mondayin the Pikes PeakBallroom on the secondfloor of the UniversityCenter.
UNC’s Got Talent is acompetitive talent showfor students, put on bythe University ProgramCouncil, led by Pat Nixon,the GA for UPC. UNC’sGot Talent will occur dur-
ing Winter WelcomeWeek on Jan. 17.
The first-place prizewill be $500 dollars incash, which all the com-peting college studentsare certain to covet. ThePikes Peak Ballroomwas partitioned into asmall space where 20audience chairs weresymmetrically setbehind two judge’stables, which faced apiano, several micro-phones and a soundboard.
Despite the comfort-able open-space, the air
was electric with nervousenergy for those whowere scheduled to audi-tion. Judges included afew faculty membersfrom the School of Visualand Performing Arts andseveral carefully selectedupperclassmen studentswith performance experi-ence.
The auditionsoccurred on a customschedule and includedvocalists, guitarists andeven a ukulele player. Anupperclassman majoringin vocal performance,German Duarte, chose to
play “Halo” by Beyonceon the Ukulele for hisaudition.
“It does a good job ofshowing off my range,”Duarte said. “It’s notwhat I’ll play for theactual show.”
German acted as ajudge at last year’s talentshow and said that manyof last year’s participantsreturned for another shotat first prize.
After his audition,German was foundseated outside the ball-room playing hisinstrument and singing
quietly to himself ,which created relaxingbackground music forthe dozen or more stu-dents studying at theUniversity Center’supstairs tables.
“I’m really glad wehave the opportunity toshow off our talents andto see all the differenttalents we have here oncampus,” said a musicianwho wished to remainanonymous.
Alex Graff, an educa-tion graduate student,was one of manypassersby who com-
mented that UNCshould continue to pro-vide opportunities likethis for students.
“It encourages free-dom of expressionamong students who aretoo often taught to con-form to a certain way ofthinking concerning art,”Graff said. “Art is notabout conformity. It’sabout putting yourselfout there and trustingsomeone in the audiencewill connect with yourmost soulful emotionsand most inspiredthoughts.”

The UNC swimmingand diving team travelstoday to Omaha, Neb., forthe Mutual of OmahaInvite, hosted by theUniversity of Nebraska-Omaha.
The University ofNorthern Colorado iscoming off an impressiveshowing at the WildcatDiving Invitational, wheresenior diver SaraMoldenhauer had animpressive performance,winning her one- andthree-meter divingevents. This week,
Moldenhauer said shecontinues to stay deter-mined.
“Every goal I set formyself at every meet isjust to score better thanmy previous score and tryand get a personalrecord,” she said. “Theseason this far has gonevery well. I made myNCAA zone cuts earlierthis season, and the pre-vious meet, I set theschool record for plat-form diving.”
Senior swimmerAlicen Fair said a newpersonal record is some-thing she wants toaccomplish as well at the
Omaha-Nebraska invita-tional.
“My goal for this meet
is to beat my personalrecord in the 200 free,”Fair said. “I’ve been work-ing on that event especial-ly hard during practice.”
This invitational willfeature competitionfrom Omaha College ofSt. Mary, ColoradoSwim Club, IowaCentral CommunityCollege, Iowa LakesCommunity College,N e b r a s k a - K e a r n e y ,Northern Iowa andSimpson College.
“Well, we have nevercompeted some of theseteams, so I don’t reallyknow what to expect,”Moldenhauer said. “I try
not to focus on the otherteams even when theycompete. That way I don’tget intimidated, and I canfocus on my dives.”
Fair said she is confi-dent the Bears will beone of the top teams at

The University ofNorthern Coloradowrestlers understand theimportance of the event,and UNC head coach BenCherrington said the teamis looking forward tocompeting on such a largescale.
“The publicity is alwaysgood,” Cherrington said.“The last few years we’vehad guys go out there anddo really well in this event. Ifthey can do well here, thenit really helps them with therest of their season.”
The Cliff KeenInvitational comes on theheels of a very successfulUNC performance at theOld Chicago Open, hostedNov. 17 at Butler-Hancock Sports Pavilion.The Bears took home winsin five of 10 weight classesin that tournament andare looking to capitalizeon that success when theygo to Las Vegas.
“We trained prettyhard last week,”Cherrington said. “Wewere really trying tofreshen the guys’ legs up,and now we’re focusingon getting them mentallyready. It’s basically a pre-view of the NCAA. Thewho’s who of everybody isgoing to be there —they’re definitely going tohave 10 to 15 of the top-20schools in the country.”
Wrestling at a high-profile tournament likethe Cliff Keen Invitational
isn’t easy. Yet, it’s also agood challenge, saidHenry Chirino, a sopho-more who won the heavy-weight bracket at the OldChicago Open.
“I’m excited becausethis is a true test of all thehard work and time I’veput in so far,” Chirinosaid. “I want to see howthat will translate on themat.”
In a tournament thathas attracted high-rank-ing schools such asMissouri and Ohio State,several challengesabound.
“One of our guys mighthave to face one of thetop-five wrestlers in thecountry first thing,”Cherrington said.
Chirino has beenpreparing himself for thatbattle, however.
“I just try to focus onwhat’s going on with me,”he said. “I try to have
faith in the hard work andtime that I’ve put in. Thatway I’m not looking atsome other guy and say-ing to myself, ‘He’s doingreally well’. It’s like, ifyou’re running track,you’re focusing on run-ning, not on everyone else
behind you.”Chirino, freshman
