In any business, but par-ticularly in the business ofhigher education, there is agreat deal of work that goeson both visibly and behindthe scenes in order to makean enterprise run smoothly.This is especially true ofhigher education, as manystudents aren’t aware of theinner workings of their uni-versity and how it operates.

One of the major deci-sions on the running ofUNC is the naming of theprovost — a key academicposition in the school’sadministration. Just recent-ly, Robbyn Wacker wasnamed the University of

Northern Colorado’s newprovost. This is an impor-tant decision and a vitalpart of UNC’s manage-ment.

“The provost is the per-son responsible for over-sight of all academic activ-ities,” Wacker said. “Theydeal with everything youcan think of on the aca-demic side of things.They’re in partnershipwith everyone.”

UNC President KayNorton considered this inher decision of namingWacker as provost, a jobdesigned to bring togetherall the academic aspects ofthe university and ensurethey work together in acohesive manner.

“Robbyn is not only astrong academic leader butalso a strong university

leader,” Norton said. “Oneof the things I have come toappreciate during 10 years

as president here is theimportance of workingtogether as a universitycommunity. Robbyn has aremarkable ability to bringpeople from throughoutUNC together to worktoward a common goal.”

Wacker herself has beenofficially involved withUNC for more than 20 yearsbut also attended the col-lege as a student, graduat-ing with a degree in geron-tology — the study of howpeople age.

“I received my master’sfrom UNC,” Wacker said.“At that time, it was one ofthe few schools in the coun-try with the program.”

Wacker returned toUNC later on in her life,

becoming involved in anumber of programs andareas around campus,including holding a posi-tion as a research dean.

“I’ve worn a lot of hatshere,” Wacker said “I’mvery lucky that way. It’sgiven me a very broad pic-ture of UNC. I’ve been for-tunate enough to getthat.”

As provost, Wacker —and UNC as a whole —faces a new set of chal-lenges; one of the biggestof them is managing thenumber of studentsenrolled through the uni-versity and preventingtuition from rising.

“Enrollment manage-ment and making suretuition levels are smooth,”Wacker said. “It’s a bigdeal, and we need tounderstand that and beproactive about the newenvironment for highereducation.”

Through it all, though,Wacker maintains a solidsense of optimism withher job and an excitementabout her new position.

“The provost’s positionis meant to be about leader-ship and vision,” she said.

Wacker also describedher appointment as “prettyexciting” and “quite anhonor.”

It seems safe to say thatexcitement is the generalreaction to the newappointment. The school isready and looking forwardto the new provost’s term.

“I am excited about theunlimited possibilities forUNC with Dr. RobbynWacker as our provost,”Norton said.

Mirror Reflections are the opinion of The Mirror’s editorial board: Parker Cotton, Spencer Duncan, Samantha Fox, Sarah Kirby and Conor McCabe. Let us know what youthink. E-mail us at editor@uncmirror.com.

Spencer DuncanI am thankful for the opportunity

to live in a country where I can openlylove whomever I want, regardless ofother people’s opinions. I am thankfulthat I can have faith and moral free-doms, and I am thankful for big citieslike Denver to escape too whenGreeley smells just bad enough.

I’m thankful for my camera tocapture my life around me, and theamazing Thanksgiving dinner I get tospend with my family and partner.

I am also thankful for highereducation and the time to finishit at my own speed.

Sarah KirbyColorado woke up to a year of

independence. I’m thankful to see

a rise in youth voters this year.The year has also welcomed the

creative medium with a versatilevariety of artistic interpretations.Greeley worked together to keep itslocal independent cinema and hasdeveloped the sense of an art dis-trict around downtown. This too, Iam thankful for, but the roots of mygratitude rise from my five sensesand the creation of environment.

Samantha FoxAfter this final fall semester, one

of the biggest things I am thankful forare family and friends. These are thepeople who see have been there forme at my best and have stayed withme at my worst. They have beenthere for me through so much, and I

wouldn’t be close to half the person Iam now if it weren’t for all of them.

I am also super thankful for theeducation system that challengesme in every aspect of my life. Myyears at UNC have showed mehow to not only survive as a stu-dent but also how to excel at life.

Conor McCabeI am thankful for the family and

friends I have in my life who con-tinue to support me. I am thankfulfor the professors that have helpedguide me through my educationalcareer. I am thankful the electionhas moved past us, for one becauseI fundamentally believe the coun-try is headed in the right direction.Secondly, after an election cycle

that has almost divided the nation,we can move forward once againas a country united.

Parker CottonI’m thankful I get to spend a

second consecutive Thanksgivinghere with my best friend.

I’m thankful for the best familysomebody could ever ask for. I’mthankful for the amazing friends Ihave, and they all know who theyare. I couldn’t ask for a better group.

I’m thankful for my wonder-ful girlfriend and my professorswho put up with me and guideme at the same time. I’m thank-ful for my health, my educationand the fact that I have so muchlove in my life.

The Mirror editorial staff has a lot to be thankful for

This week, we’ll once againpartake in my favoritecelebration of a national

holiday: Thanksgiving. I prefer it toChristmas because, in my experi-ence, football replaces materialismwithout sacrificing family.

I enjoy the holiday more thanany other, but it’s also important torecognize the issues it should bringup and address them in an appro-priate manner. Two topics immedi-ately come to mind: thankfulnessand treatment of Native Americans

in this country.It’s important to remember how

fortunate we are as Americans to havereadily available necessities. There arethose around the world and in ourown country who lack proper nutri-tion and shelter or are in abusive rela-tionships or broken homes.

Many of these people areAmerican Indians, who we tend toremember only around this time ofyear, but they no longer fit into themold that white America has creat-ed for them.

Those who were forced ontosome of the least desirable pieces ofland in the United States haveflooded out of those borders inhopes of finding a better life thanthe dead-end one they left behindthem on a reservation. They leave

family and oftentimes a consider-able amount of culture by the way-side as they try to fit into our cultureof capitalism.

Beyond the struggles for assimi-lation (which, in itself, is controver-sial among tribal nations), theymust face racism that is bred intoAmerican culture.

As a sports fan, I’ve grown upknowing who the Kansas CityChiefs, Cleveland Indians andWashington Redskins are, anddon’t recall seeing an AmericanIndian play for any of those teams.It’s hard to understand why it’sacceptable to use a group as a mas-cot, even as we’ve reached a some-what post-PC society.

The University of North Dakota,a new Big Sky member, uses the

nickname “Fighting Sioux”, refer-ring to the Lakota Indians (a termthey much prefer to the French“Sioux”). The NCAA has put pres-sure on the institution to change thename, but why is there even a ques-tion on the issue? UND is simulta-neously using people as their mas-cot, misnaming them and further-ing the absolutely false stereotype ofNative Americans as violent.

This Thursday, while enjoyingthe autumn harvest of turkey, pota-toes and pie, remember the nameof the day and its meaning, as wellas the people we use as Halloweencostumes and have spurned sincearriving on this continent.

A UNC professor, alongwith three graduate andthree undergraduate stu-dents, have taken to theremote canyons ofColorado’s front range toanalyze the calmingsounds of singing birds.

The deep walls andsmooth surfaces create anoptimal acoustic soundbarrier allowing for thebirds to be observed in adetailed and effectivemanner.

Assistant Professor ofBiological Sciences LaurynBenedict, along with herstudent companies, haveand are currently studyinghow the songs of canyonwrens change when theyare faced with an intruder,as well as completing otherresearch on bird activity.They do this by usingrecordings they took fromcanyon wrens.

“We now analyze theserecordings, and recordingsprovided from othersources, by taking meas-urements from sonograms,visual images of whatsounds look like,” saidAnne Rose, an undergrad-uate and studentresearcher in the AnimalBehavior Lab. “I study the

repertoires of these birds— the different types ofsongs the birds sing, othervocalizations they make,what situations they vocal-ize in and shared songtypes or dialects across theFort Collins area comparedto other regions.”

To record the birdsongs, they travel through-out Colorado’s front rangeto collect them. They turn

their focus onto thecanyon wrens to see theirdifferent reactions.

“What does that bird dowhen you play anotherbird’s song?” Benedictsaid. “He gets angry.”

Benedict said when the

birds are angry their songbecomes lower in pitch.They are just starting outon their research and havea long way to go, though.

“With the currentthings we have going, easi-ly three more years ofresearch needs to bedone,” Benedict said. “Iwant people to know thiskind of research is going onand be aware of the birdsaround them.”

Benedict is alsoexpecting she will havemore questions to answeras they continue theirresearch, so it is likely thatthey could be doingresearch for a very longtime.

“Animal behavior isreally fun to study,” Rosesaid. “We learn about thenatural history of a species,and we discuss how behav-ior is used for communica-tion and how these behav-iors may have evolved. Notto mention, field work isalways an adventure.”

They are several differ-ent things that theresearch group hopes stu-dents and other peoplecan learn and take away

from this research.“I would want stu-

dents to recognize thatthere are many animalspecies found inColorado that are

under-studied, so thereare many opportunitiesfor research projects,”said Nat Warning, agraduate student in bio-logical sciences.

Greeley’s local bandLaRett held their kick-starter performance ear-lier this month at Zoe’sCafé, and the proceedswill help LaRett produceits first album with six ofthe band members’favorite independentlyarranged and composedsongs.

James Everett, a for-mer UNC student, and AliLamar, a current AimsCommunity College stu-dent, are the members ofLaRett, and prior to theirawaited performance thetwo of them were seenfellowshipping with theaudience and supportingthe bands playing beforethem. Both members arethe lead vocals of theband, and Everett playsthe guitar while Lamar

plays a banjolele, a com-bination of a ukulele andbanjo.

Musicians such asKyle Hope of Greeley, theband Ashida, TimVeilleux and othersopened up the night forLaRett.

“I was given theopportunity tonight tojoin James and Ali, whoare two of my bestfriends, play for a showthat helps benefit theirband,” said Veilleux, whowas accompanied by acellist, violinist andfemale vocalist.

About 70 people gath-ered to support LaRett inits musical endeavor.Paul Beveridge, the coor-dinator of the event washelping at the door andwas also the master ofthe ceremony.

“Getting the showtogether was worth itbecause LaRett is a great

part of the local musicscene,” Beveridge said.

LaRett came togetherwhen Everett led worshipat Christian Challenge —

a college campusChristian ministry — andLamar tried out to be partof the worship team.Both of them found com-

monality in their style ofmusic and began to singtogether. Once the bandwas formed, the namewas to be chosen andcoming up with it was nochallenge.

“‘LaRett’ is a combi-nation of our last names,Lamar and Everett,”Lamar said. “Wesquished them togetherto make one beautifulword.”

The definition ofLaRett is still evolvingthrough its music.

“Whatever our musicis to the people, that iswhat LaRett means,”Everett said.

LaRett practices threeto four times a week for acouple of hours. Theband’s music is mainlywritten by Everett butfinalized by both mem-bers.

“We like to call ourmusical genre ‘folk-pop,’

so it kind of has the folkfeel to it, but its also notas indie as a lot of folkmusic,” Everett said. “Itbrings a lot of pop ele-ments to it. We like to tellpeople its folk pop withlyrics about Jesus.”

Shelby Baker, aUniversity of NorthernColorado junior majoringin ideology, was presentduring the show andknows Everett throughChristian Challenge. Shewas invited throughFacebook and says sheloves the music.

“This is a really cool timeto hang out with friends andlisten to great local music,”Baker said. “LaRett’s per-formance is really fun andsmooth. Their music is chilland cool.”

A small group of stu-dents and faculty enjoyeda delicious Mexican buffetThursday in theCentennial Auditorium ofBrown Hall as Josh Fox —the director of “Gasland,”which premiered at theUNC International FilmSeries — came to talkabout hydraulic fracturingor ‘fracking’ and its imme-diate threat to the Greeleycommunity.

“Fracking” is theprocess of pumping mil-lions of gallons of watermixed with chemicals andsand into the ground in

search of natural sourcesof energy.

When asked to esti-mate how many peopleare directly affected byfracking, Fox replied,“Roughly 7 billion;”implying that the entireworld is affected byhydraulic fracturing andthat it is a very seriousrisk to our immediatehealth.

After giving a morepersonal presentation inwhich Fox discussed theissues of fracking in ourcommunity, he thenwent on to a more formalpresentation put on inthe University CenterBallrooms to a full houseof nearly 600 attendees.

Fox covered a widerange of topics, begin-ning with the storybehind his documentaryand all of the unbeliev-able findings he made onhis exploration of thisshocking issue.According to Fox, his filmhas been viewed by morethan 50 million viewersin 30 countries.

In learning of theupcoming decision toallow fracking to go onunderneath of our veryown University ofNorthern Colorado cam-pus, Fox was in strongopposition of the univer-sity’s choice.

“There is no way Iwould let anyone frack

anywhere near me,” Foxsaid. “Colorado should-n’t accept this.”

Fox also touched onthe topic of how frackinghas had a direct effect onthe climate change thathas occurred in recentyears.

Fox’s key point that he

kept referring back tothroughout his speechwas that of the socialcontract and how we as acivilization need torespect one anotherenough to realize whenwe have done somethingharmful to our fellowpeople.

“I’ve lived in Weld Countyfor two years, and I didn’tknow there was hydraulicfracturing near my home,”said Shane Davis, a researchbiologist wearing a sweatshirtwith the word “FRACTIVIST”across the front.

Due to the success ofhis first documentary,“Gasland II” will be com-ing out very soon, and asan alternative to his first

film that covered theissues that fracking hasbrought solely to theUnited States, this filmcovers the effects it hason the entire world.

Fox concluded his pres-entation by busting out hisvibrantly authentic banjo,which he used in “Gasland”to play a tune outside a gaswell in his gas mask, whicheventually became thecover photo for his docu-mentary. Fox couldn’temphasize enough how theimpact of a group can haveif everyone gets out thereand voices their protest offracking.

“The best way to cre-ate change is canvass-ing,” Fox said.

UNC safety MarcelGibbons walked intopostgame interviewsSaturday at Nottingham Fieldwith an ear-to-ear smile. Heand the rest of the Universityof Northern Colorado footballteam had just knocked offNorth Dakota 28-27 in its sea-son finale — on senior day,no less.

“We seniors always talkabout turning it around —that’s just always been avision of ours,” Gibbonssaid. “And to really see thewins coming together, thefamily coming together,we’ve always preached thatbut was never really there,and in this last year of ours,you truly feel like you’re thefoundation of it.”

The Bears trailed 24-21 athalftime, but UNC’s defensestood up to only allow threepoints in the second half, adefensive effort keyed byGibbons’ pair of fourth-quar-ter interceptions of UND (5-6,3-5 Big Sky) quarterbackBraden Hanson, one with4:58 left and the second with1:47 remaining.

UNC’s ensuing drive after

the latter interception wentnowhere, and the Bears wereforced to punt. On UNC’s 34-yard line, North Dakota run-ning back Jer Garman wasstuffed on a rush on 4th-and-1 by Gibbons and senior line-backer Herve Tonye-Tonyewith less than a minute left.Bears (5-6, 4-4) junior quarter-back Seth Lobato took a kneeon the next play to run out theclock and seal the victory.

The win gave UNC itsmost wins in a season sincewinning four in 2005 and aneven conference record, it’sbest since joining the Big Skyin 2006 — all just a year aftergoing winless.

“I’m just so proud of myteammates and what we wereable to accomplish today andthis year,” Lobato said.

Lobato threw for 210yards and two scores — oneto junior wide receiver JaceDavis in the first quarter andone to sophomore tight endSawyere Monson in the thirdquarter to put the Bearsahead for good. Junior run-ning back Tromaine Dennishad a career day, gaining 222yards rushing and two touch-downs. Dennis’ rushing totalis the most in UNC’s DivisionI history and the sixth-most

all-time for a single game.“He runs like he’s mad at

people,” UNC head coachEarnest Collins Jr. said ofDennis. “It’s very seldomsomebody’s going to takehim down on the first hit, andhe’s a special player.”

After a promising seasonending with a three-gamewin streak, postgame inter-views were laden with opti-mism for the future of theprogram.

“With leaders like thisman Seth, we got (Dennis)running the ball like anyoneelse in the world could, theyhave everything going their

way,” Gibbons said. “We get(linebacker Clarence)Bumpas back next year,they’re going to hit the winterconditioning really tough andsummers are always good foreverybody, so I think they’regoing to get more and morewins. Everybody’s scarednow to play the UNC Bears,and we like it that way.”

Said Dennis: “Everybodyin the Big Sky is definitelygoing to be scared of us nextyear. Momentum is definitelygoing to carry over. I’m excit-ed for my family and thecoaches. We’re going to getthe job done.”

After a falling to 1-1 fol-lowing a loss last Tuesday toin-state rival Colorado State,the UNC women’s basketballteam takes on Utah tomor-row in Salt Lake City.

The University ofNorthern Colorado will facean undefeated Utah (3-0)team, which is led in points byjunior guard Michelle Plouffe,who averages 19 points agame. The Bears counter withjunior guard D’shara Strangeand her 17 points per game.

Strange said the scoutduring practice helped theteam in preparation for Utah.

“One of our scouts was tonot bluff out on (the pointguard), because they’ll justpass it out to the 3-pointshooters,” Strange said. “Ourdefense is huge, so we’ll just

need to block and box out.”Something that stifled the

Bears against CSU was theinability to get into a flow.

“They had some tall kidsinside, and I thought they did agood job, especially early, toprevent us from scoringinside,” UNC head coach

Jaime White said. “That’s ourbread and butter. We hit a cou-ple of nice outside shots, but wejust couldn’t get into a rhythm.”

Timm said the team hasbeen working hard to nothave another game like theone it played at CSU.

“Coach focuses on

responding, and I think we’vecome out here and practicedand we don’t want to have agame like that again, so we’vecome out and practiced hard,”senior guard Victoria Timmsaid. “I think it’s motivating.”

Tipoff is at 7 p.m. Tuesdayin Salt Lake City.

During the annual OldChicago Open Saturday atButler-Hancock SportsPavilion, hosted by the UNCwrestling squad, threeattached and two unattachedUniversity of NorthernColorado wrestlers finishedatop their respective weightclasses.

Junior 149-pounder JustinGonzales improved to 10-0this season — the only Bearwho has gone undefeated. Inhis five matches, he had twopins, two decisions and onemajor decision, with themajor decision coming for

the championship win.“I’m always happy with a

win, of course, happy to winthe tournament and to be 10-0 right now, I’m prettypumped,” Gonzales said.“But I feel like I definitelycould have wrestled a lot bet-ter on some areas. I feel like Iwrestled good, but I want towrestle great.”

Freshman 141-pounderNick Adams took his weightclass, as well as theOutstanding Wrestler Awardfor the open. A key to Adamsgetting the honor was win-ning all three of his matcheswith extra points, finishing hisfirst match with a pin and tak-ing down his final two oppo-

nents with technical falls.“Nick does the right things

on and off the mat,” headcoach Ben Cherrington said.“When he goes out there toface an opponent, he’sabsolutely fearless. He has nofear of anybody who stepsacross the line from him andhe goes out there to win anddominate every match.”

Winning the open’s MostPins Award was sophomoreheavyweight Henry Chirino,who won all of his matcheswith falls, pinning his oppo-nent in the finals after only2:53 on the mat.

“It just shows exactly whathe’s been doing,”Cherrington said. “He’s been

putting in a ton of work, andthat’s what makes you suc-cessful in the sport ofwrestling is mat time and put-ting in extra work, above andbeyond what your opponentsare doing.”

Also winning in theirweight classes were juniorNick Bayer (184 pounds) andfreshman Brian Macchione(197 pounds), who both com-peted unattached.

“It’s just another steppingstone for us,” Chirino said.“Two weeks back, we com-peted in the Cowboy Open inWyoming and we did prettywell there. We had a couple ofchampions and last week wedueled Nebraska, and we’ve

been working really hard, andthe work is showing in ourmatches and our competi-tion.”

Next on the schedule forthe Bears will be a trip Nov. 30and Dec. 1 to the Cliff KeenInvitational in Las Vegas.

The Union Colony CivicCenter filled Tuesday nightfor the semester’s second-to-last UNC at UCCC band con-cert. Three different groupsmade up this two and a halfhour concert: the

Symphonic Band, theConcert Band and the WindEnsemble.

The concert band beganthe evening under thedirection of Ken Singleton,director of the program.The largest of the threeensembles, the concertband started off strong with

a piece by Richard Wagner.The Symphonic Band

took over the performanceafter about 40 minutes. Asmaller and more intimategroup, the Symphonic Bandis made up of 68 instrumentsand directed by RichardMayne, associate director ofthe University Bands.

“Holst’s first suite wasmy favorite to perform,”said Jacob Cecil, a seniormusic education studentand trumpet player with theSymphonic Band.

Holst’s piece has a greatdeal of historical significancefor band players, as it wasone of the first major worksfor band that was specificallywritten for that ensembleand not just an arrangementof an orchestral composi-tion. Holst’s piece for bandhelped to legitimatize thewind ensembles of the early20th Century.

The Symphonic Band’sperformance was lighter intone than the ConcertBand. The repertoireranged from one of Verdi’searly operas — “Nabucco,”a piece which Singletonarranged — to the end cred-its from John William’sscore for the television pro-

gram “Lost in Space.”“We’ve been rehearsing

four hours a week since thefourth of October,” said jun-ior music education studentBen Nickerson, one of thepercussion players inSymphonic Band. “I had alot of fun playing the crashcymbal part on Nabucco.”

The Wind Ensemble,again directed by Singleton,ended the evening with fouradditional pieces and closedwith “Music for Prague 1968.”

“This is possibly themost important work of thelast 60 years,” Singleton saidin explaining the signifi-cance of the piece.

The piece was composerKarel Husa’s response to theRussian suppression of thePrague Spring movement.The three-movement piece isfilled with unresolved tensionand the unusual melodiccomponent of a 12-tone row

and none of the characteristiccharm of band music.Evoking imagery of invasionand the silencing of thefamous bells of Prague, thepiece is difficult for both per-formers to play and audiencemembers to enjoy.

It was a profound way toend the band’s fall season,and, after a moment ofsilence, was met with a waveof tremendous applausefrom the audience.

Punch and cookies wereprovided afterward compli-ment of Kappa Kappa Psi,the band fraternity.
