One of Lifetime’s newest reality television shows, “Bring It,” is set to air its !rst season !nale this Wednesday. "e show chronicles the ups and downs of a dance troupe that specializes in hip-hop majorette competitions called the Dancing Dolls. It has received harsh backlash from some view-ers since its debut in March, with detractors calling it a multitude of things—most notably, the words “ratchet” and “ghetto” come up repeatedly. "e Dancing Dolls, founded in 2001 and coached by Dianna Williams, have won over 15

Grand Champion titles and more than 100 trophies since their inception. According to their of-!cial website, the studio the team is based out of “promotes high self-esteem, determination, per-sistence, high academic achieve-ment, community involvement, the importance of health, etc. in young women through the art of dance.” Episodes of the show have highlighted the engagement of black mothers and fathers in their children’s lives and chronicled two of the dancers’ auditions for an elite performing arts acad-emy. None of this sounds like the type of thing to be branded as “ratchet”—a term that conjures

up the image of no-good hood-rats at a nightclub—so one has to wonder where this negative response to “Bring It” is really coming from. Did I mention the show is set in Jackson, Mississippi and features a team of all black dancers? "e language we use is impor-tant, and whether the people using these terms realize it or not, the words “ratchet” and “ghetto” have become comfortable, com-monplace replacements for “un-apologetically black”—a brilliant form of racism that conveniently toes around actually pulling the race card out. “Dance Moms” has aired on the Lifetime channel for years now.

It features coach Abby Lee Miller screaming at her dancers while pitting them against each other every week, and earlier this year dance mom Kelly Hyland was charged with assault in relation to an incident that was caught on camera. "e only reason this show has escaped the same criticism as “Bring It” is that the activity in question is coming from blonde hair and thin lips. "ose who are depreciating the show question how “booty shaking” could possibly enrich the lives of the young girls who make up the Dancing Dolls team. "ese critics are engaging in respectability politics—the

problematic notion that if black people would just step into line and act white enough, they’ll get the respect they deserve. "e dancers on “Bring It” may not be performing ballet or jazz, but their routines are !lled with obvi-ous technique—and yes, lots of booty shaking. "is doesn’t make the Dancing Dolls less deserving of respect or admiration.

VOLLEYBALL HITS A SWEET SPOT

Breelyn Bowe | !e MirrorSophomore defensive specialist Makenna Meier and head coach Lindsey Oates celebrate a point in Northern Colorado’s win over the University of Wyoming Saturday. !e volleyball team went three-for-three as the host of its three-game series last weekend.

!e Northern Colorado volley-ball team swept its weekend series hosting the Hampton Inn & Suites Northern Colorado Classic. UNC defeated Hampton University Friday night then defeated both UC Davis and the University of Wyoming Saturday to close out the tournament. Northern Colorado (7-5) "n-

ished the weekend by earning their fourth straight victory with a big win against Wyoming (11-2) 3-1 (20-25, 25-17, 25-22, 25-21). Wyoming was able to pull ahead in the "rst set of the match Satur-day night edging out UNC, but the Bears responded with aggressive play in the second set to tie the match. !e o#ense as a whole showed how dangerous a balanced attack could be with four di#erent players

achieving double-digit kills. Head coach Lindsey Oates said the experience of returning players Brianna Strong, Andrea Spaus-tat, Kendra Cunningham, Kim Weissmann and Timarie Nymyer contributed to the win. “We need to be balanced,” Head Coach Lindsey Oates said. “Teams are going to focus on our returners, Brianna and Andrea are no sur-prise to any conference opponent, neither is Kendra, so they are going

to focus on those three. I thought Timarie and Kim stepped up where we could have a really balanced attack with all "ve hitters.” Northern Colorado played argu-ably its best match of the season, controlling the last three sets of the match against the Cowgirls. We’re really "nding an identity,” junior outside hitter Cunningham said. “We’ve had a couple

!e Mirror: Can you start by telling me a little bit about how you ended up at UNC?

DD: Well I applied for the position and it was an extremely thorough, detailed, chal-lenging process, mentally and physically, when you start from the very beginning and go to the end of what the people who are involved in the process did. It was a great learning process for me. !ere are several reason why I was interested in this position. One, it's a beautiful campus, a beautiful part of the world. My family and I truly enjoy the outdoor activities that Colorado and Greeley have to o"er, so that was really exciting to us. I have always followed the Big Sky Conference and each conference member. I worked at the University of Montana for my very #rst internship so I'm very familiar with the Big Sky, and I like this level. It's a Division I level, so you compete at the highest level, but it's more about graduating student-athletes than about winning national championships. To me, that's why I'm in this business, to help make sure student-athletes have the opportunity to compete at the Division I level but also they all know their primary focus is academics and graduating.

!e Mirror: Would you say that's unique to UNC or have you seen it in other pro-grams as well?

DD: I think at this level, at this Division I level in the Big Sky Conference and in some other conferences that are similar, I think it's more about graduating student-athletes. !ere's a lot of great conferences and great teams that focus on graduat-ing their kids. I'm just saying here in this conference, especially at UNC, that is more important that winning national or conference championships. I really believe this is a great time to be here. !ere's a lot of potential here, a lot of people who want to help us, and that was very obvious early on. We've been able to get a lot of new people involved and do some good things like the new video boards and the renova-tions to the basketball court and things like

that. !ose are some of the most important reasons why I'm here. I feel like I can help make UNC athletics better.

!e Mirror: What is your vision for the future, years down the road?

DD: It's not any di"erent than right now. I want to compete now and be one of the top three teams in the conference in every sport. To me that's important. I also think we need to provide more resources and tools to our coaches in order to be success-ful and to be able to compete at that level. Our conference is very strong in all the sports, and from a resource standpoint, we have fewer resources than all but one other conference member. It's tough to compete when you don't have all the tools, but my job and our department's job is to pro-vide additional tools and resources to our coaches so they can compete at a higher level and win conference championships, but not lose sight of graduating student-

athletes. I want to be successful on the court, or on the #eld, or on the mat, but I want to provide a great experience for our student-athletes. Part of that is graduating, but while they're here, socially, they build their skills to be able to be a contributing member of the community, whether it's here in Colorado or wherever they're going to go home to. !at's our job, and those are the things that we focus on. I want to win, I want to graduate our student-athletes, but also I want to make sure they have the best experience we can provide them while they're here.

!e Mirror: Are there any changes that you speci#cally have made in this depart-ment since you've been the director of athletics?

DD: We've reorganized. We've kind of moved some people around, and some people have le$, so we've been able to hire some people that I feel really #t their roles.

!e Mirror: What is your relationship like with people who are new to the depart-ment?

DD: I feel like we're close. I think it's important to work closely with all of our sta". We're a small sta" so it's not too hard to get to know each other personally, and that's important to me. I think to build a strong team, you have to care about the individuals #rst, and that's what I try to do.

!e Mirror: How have you selected the people you've brought in? What exactly are you looking for when hiring people for UNC?

DD: !ere are a couple of things. One is that they're a good person and they care about the things that I care about: gradu-ating kids and providing them a great experience while they're here. To me, if they don't have that and you can't work with them, it won't be a good #t, so that was something that we looked for #rst and foremost. Secondly is, I want a coach that wants to win and push the student-athletes to make them better on the court and in the classroom. Coaches work extremely hard, and I think that's critical to be a successful coach. You have to put in the time. Coaching is a small part. Recruiting and doing things internally take up a ton of time, so that's something we talked a lot about. We wanted someone who is pas-sionate about their sport. !ose are some of the key elements we've looked for in any coaching hire.

!e Mirror: Do you have any comment on the football team's performance so far ?

DD: I think that our team is playing really hard. I think it is a close, tight-knit team who care a lot about their head coach and their assistant coaches, and they don't want to lose. To me, to start a quality pro-gram, those are the most important things. I really believe Coach Collins has done a great job of getting the team ready to compete. We're about to enter four tough weeks because our conference is so strong.

It would be a challenge for any team to get through these next four games, but I'm excited about the direction they're going and what Coach Collins believes in. He's making sure these young men play hard, but they're focused on academics and developing themselves o! the "eld. In all of our sports, our coaches focus on graduating their kids. #ere are very few institutions that do a better job of that than we do. Whether we win or lose, mak-ing sure our kids graduate and they have a great experience, that's the most important thing. Now our fans and our students love to see us win, as do I. I want to win a foot-ball championship in the Big Sky. Once we provide resources and tools to Coach Collins that other schools already have within our conference, I think we could be more competitive within the Big Sky, and that's what we're working extremely hard on and raising money to make sure he has the tools and resources he needs to be successful.

#e Mirror: What can students do to con-tribute to UNC's athletics?

DD: For us to be more successful, we need the student body. Our team feeds o! the student body when they're at the games. Our students here make the games more fun for our team and for our fans. #ey're the rowdy bunch that's having fun, and that makes everyone else have fun. I re-ally believe it makes our team play better. We need our student body to embrace our team. Come to games. Have fun at tailgating. We're trying to do a lot of dif-ferent things, like providing free parking for students close to the stadium if they want to drive. We have a lot of giveaways and promotions that we'll do for them. We handed out free pancakes before the last home game, and we're trying to do some more similar things like that. I know students love free food, so we want to help them as much as we can. It's so important for them to be there. I'm a "rm believer that we can't just send a $yer to all of the students that says 'come to the game.' I think we have to go over there, meet with them, talk to them, interact with the stu-dent organizations, and I'm hoping this fall I'll have more time to meet with student

leaders and organizations. I know some of our coaches have already. It's important for me to meet them, get to know them, and see what they're interested in seeing other than wins and losses. I want to do other things for them to make the games more fun and easier to attend. #at's something that's really important to us because you can't just ask them to come. I feel like we have to meet with them and ask them what will make them more interested in coming and spending their Saturday a%ernoon here in Greeley.

#e Mirror: Several of our teams have aca-demic awards. How do you plan to keep up academic records on UNC's teams?

DD: We have a great academic sta! that provides tremendous support to our student-athletes. To me, that's critical. You also have to have coaches who want it. #ey have to want to see their kids do well in school. We, as a senior sta! and in my position, have to make sure the coaches and student-athletes know how important that is. How I think is last year, we had a

great year academically, from our gradu-ation rates to the GPAs, and I want to continue that, but I also think about what we can do now to make it even better. It's kind of like a high jumper. We got over the "ve-foot pole and that's great, but now how do we get over that six-foot pole? So that's what we're talking about now. What else can we do to make sure our student-athletes are excelling in the classroom? We're fortunate to have such tremendous faculty here who believe in our student-athletes and understand they have to miss class periodically for events. We're very fortunate to have faculty who work with our student-athletes. #ey still hold them accountable and make sure they do all the things that every other student has to do, but they have a good understand-ing of athletics and all the time demands that student-athletes have. It's hard to be successful in academics when you have so many other things going on, but when you have an academic sta! and a coaching sta! that care about graduating our student-athletes, to me that's what's critical to continue to improve academically.

!e University of Northern Colorado’s men’s golf team completed the Rams Masters Invitational Tuesday in Fort Collins tied for 11th place a"er posting an overall score of 900 (300, 304, 296). On the par 70 course the Bears team #nished +60 with sophomore Jack Cummings (le") scoring the best of the Bears at +11. Cummings led the Northern Colorado team a"er the #rst round and managed to #nish with a tie for 31st place overall a"er #nishing the tournament with scores of 71, 77, and 73 in each round for a composite score of 221.

tough games that we weren’t able to pull out but this game against a good team. We #nally #nished a game and won. I think good things are to come.” Cunningham was UNC’s MVP for the entire tournament. She had a total of 48 kills over the three matches as well as 40 digs. Coach Oates credited her defensive play this weekend. “Defensively she was the catalyst,” Oates said. “Some of the saves she made, she made look easy that were not easy plays. She was in the right spot at the right time. She just was ahead of the game.” !ere was a total of 24 tying scores between the two opponents Saturday night that all happened within the #rst three sets. !e Bears dominated the #nal set, al-lowing no tying scores or lead changes.

Northern Colorado’s defense was tested Friday night as the team defeated Hamp-ton University (5-8) 3-1 (25-19, 28-26, 25-9, 25-16). Hampton’s o$ense was led by senior right side Vendula Strakova who earned a total of 23 kills. “She had her way with us,” Oates said. “But they became one dimensional so that was ok. It was a matter of her beating our balanced o$ense.” Early Saturday the Bears earned their second win of the tournament taking down UC Davis in the #"h set 15-12. UNC is on a season-high four-game win-ning streak as they head into conference play this week. !e team’s hitting percent-age currently sits above .500. !e Bears’ #rst conference game is a home game against Idaho University on !ursday Sept. 25.

VOLLEYBALL SWEEPS TOURNAMENT


WOMEN’S SOCCER ENDS DERBY WITH A WINA hard-fought weekend saw the Bears in a 0-0 draw against Wyoming Friday and a 3-2 victory against Bryant Sunday

Makalah [email protected]

Jackson !eld roared in cel-ebration Sunday night a"er the Northern Colorado women’s soccer team defeated Bryant Uni-versity, 3-2, in double overtime play. #e game !nished regulation and the !rst overtime with a lin-gering score of 2-2. As the second overtime dwindled down to its !nal seconds, UNC sophomore Paige Morris responded to team-mate Rebecca Lancia’s corner kick with a header into the goal. “Becca put in a really good ball and I just happened to be there and get my head on it and get that goal,” Morris said. “It was a

hard-fought game. It was a fun game, down and up, back and forth so I’m glad we could come out with a win.” As the team heads into confer-ence play, Morris said she plans on using the ball-keeping tech-niques her teamed used against Bryant to succeed in the future. “I think we did a really good job keeping the ball and working o$ of each other so if we could carry that into conference,” she said. “Just stay calm and com-posed and working o$ of each other then I think we could pos-sibly go far in conference.” #e battle between the Bears (5-4-1) and the Bulldogs (2-8-0) concluded with 23 UNC shots, 15 of which came in the !rst pe-

riod. In the same period, Bryant couldn’t complete any shots and eventually !nished with a total of nine. Bears freshman Brooke Braden !nished with six shots, a team and season high. Braden didn’t attribute her shots count to anything in par-ticular. Instead, she said it was more of an opportunity waiting to be seized. “I just realized we haven’t been scoring in the goal so I thought I’d take my chances and take more shots.” Neither the Bears nor Panthers scored in the !rst half, and the second period brought a 2-2 tie. Northern Colorado head Coach Tim Barrera said the game was a bit frustrating and lacked %ow

but he was overall satis!ed with the results. “I thought we played a good !rst half,” Barrera said. “We had some good chances and just didn’t convert. Second half we came out and they scored the !rst goal in the !rst three and a half minutes into the game and we fought back. #ey scored again. #en Adrienne scored a great goal and obviously we kept !ghting and fought all the way through overtime.” Friday’s game against the University of Wyoming ended in a 0-0 stalemate, though not for lack of trying. A"er the game was delayed 55 minutes because of lightning, Ru$ showed her grit with a performance that added

a season-high nine saves in the game to her record, bringing it to 41. #e team also chocked up a season-high eight corner kicks in the game. Of the Bears’ nine shots, four were on goal. Missed shots by the Bears and saves by Wyoming goaltender Alex Boehm kept UNC from the goal, but a strong game by the Bears’ defense and by Ru$ simi-larly shut out Wyoming’s attacks. Sunday’s game marked the second overtime game of the weekend and the third in the year, but Barrera said the experi-ence is good preparation for the upcoming conference games. Next, the Bears travel to Idaho to take on the Vandals Friday night.

“You have to condition your whole body because you get hit every play. The weak don’t really survive in a game that’s about survival of the fittest.”

“What’s important is your trunk: your glutes, your back, and your core. The core is the most important because it’s the center of everything

you do, throwing, hitting, running.”

“You have to condition your whole body because “I swim freestyle, so what I

focus on is mostly my shoulders, my lats, all of my upper body. It would probably

be more legs for butterfly or breaststroke swimmers. And of course there’s the abs

because you’re rotating all the time.”

WHAT EQUIPS ATHLETES

“An ideal football player has nice arms and big legs.

“I take pride in the weight room. I feel like I condition my body to be strong, and I put the right things in my body.”

“You also have to be mentally strong for this game. It’s more mental than physical.”

“I’ve been doing this forever. I don’t know if I would’ve ex-celled at another sport. I’ve been swimming since I was six.”

“I’m on the smaller side in softball. I’m a little faster, so I really use my legs and hamstrings too.”

“Probably every part of the lower body is important.”

“You definitely need your legs and your core. All your power comes from your legs, and you swing from your core.”

“The most important is anything in your core, and your lower back because basi-cally the other guy is trying to put your face in the mat and a strong lower back helps you keep him from doing that.”

“Your core is important, and your glutes for shooting. Then there’s your quads and hamstrings. We use our hamstrings a lot so that’s

something we have to keep strong.”

“I guess you do need the upper body for long throws in some po-sitions, but in soccer it’s predominantly the lower body and core.”

“You need your legs more so than your arms, especially for when you’re shooting and driving through.”

“A big part of it is just knowing what to do with the tools that you have.”

“As a pitcher, I need a strong arm, but it has to be flexible too.”

FIRST UNDERGRADUATE TEACHER BRINGS POETRYAndrew [email protected] Amanda Jones, a senior English education major, is the !rst undergraduate stu-dent at UNC hired to teach an honors poetry course for the fall semester. "rough teaching this class Jones will be completing her honors thesis credits. Jones is plan-ning to graduate in May. In order to complete the honors credits, each member of the program is asked to work on a project that is re-lated to their major and area of study. While Jones was thinking of how to approach her thesis she thought of teaching younger students the importance of poetry. “Secondary schooling fails at teaching poetry to students at younger ages,” Jones said. A#er going to the advisers and directors of the English programs, Jones got the ok to go ahead and begin her syllabus and lecture notes for the new class. In order to get the ball rolling, Jones had to go through the steps any professor has to in order to start teaching, which means getting her syllabus approved by the bureau of education. “At !rst there was a lot of push back, not many professors and advisors gave the support I needed.” Jones said. “It’s an amazing experience, but comes with big honor and responsibility.” Originally designed to be a co-teaching class, Jones partnered with Lisa Zimmerman. "e two were to split the lecturing time between themselves. Zimmerman was unable to ful!ll her part of teaching the class due to scheduling con$icts, leaving the responsibility of the class to Jones. “I really like it and it’s interesting,” said Clara McGowan, a freshman, at UNC. She said she was hesitant at !rst, but saw Jones as someone

she can relate to and o#en forgets that Jones is an undergraduate student. Jones is not only using this class as her honors thesis. She’s using it as a research assignment. "e college of Humanities and Social Sciences at UNC is designed for students to participate in research opportunities that promote growth in areas of study. Normally these programs are centered around science research projects, but they were so impressed with Jones’ idea that they awarded her a grant for the study. Once the class started, Jones asked the class if they were willing to sign a contract allowing them to be a part of her research. With a 100 percent return rate, Jones has begun using test strategies to evaluate the ef-fectiveness and learning rate each student is at. Each student has remained anonymous and only uses their PDID and designated folders

they were assigned at the beginning of class. “I’m only teaching the subject and looking at the growth of each student,” Jones said. Her goal to promote poetry in a positive way is constantly teaching her new things along the way. Even though she said it is an exhilarating experience for her, Jones is ready to teach in an actual classroom primarily focused on the high school scene. “I don’t care what grade or subject that I’m teaching, I just want to work with the kids at di%cult times of their adolescence,” Jones said. “Anyone who has the drive, they have every right to teach.” Unfortunately this class is only o&ered this fall, but Jones would like to see more under-graduate students given the opportunities to teach classes like she has been able to.

NCAA HOLDS ATHLETES TO HIGH STANDARDS !e public eye has been drawn to the sports world as various athletes begin suspensions. Most recently, Ray Rice faced inde"nite suspension by the NFL. !e controversy lies in whether or not this suspension is just, in regards to being suspended for an incident that occurred in Rice’s personal life taking a#ect in his athletic career. !e standards that college athletes are held to are made clear to them at the beginning of every year. Students "ll out paperwork regarding the National Col-legiate Athletic Association, also known as the NCAA, expectations. At this point in time the athletes must comply, or choose to forfeit their eligibility. While the choice may seem obvious, NCAA rules provide limitations that the “average” college student may not be able to abide by. Student athletes can be suspended for low grades, failed drug test, poor representation on social media sites and a spectrum of alcohol related occur-rences. UNC athletes meet these requirements by random drug testing, a speci"c amount of study table hours that must be signed o# and coaches must perform social media check-ups. “I think the rules are reasonable. !e NCAA holds athletes to a higher standard than the rest of the university does,” said Michael Luca, a senior walk-on wrestler. Luca is not the only student athlete that believes the NCAA standards are within reason. “I think to a degree the expectations are reason-able. It really depends on your lifestyle and what amount of control you deem reason-able,” said Samuel Anderson-Aidoo, a senior rugby player who has played on the UNC rugby team for four years. While there are students that believe that the NCAA regulations are completely reasonable, there have been a multitude of situations that have drawn controversy to

the expectations. Amongst these are drunk-driving ac-cidents, ticketing, sexual harassment, rape cases, drug and steroid usage. !e punish-ment’s for these incidents vary in severity in regards to federal and state laws, but all

result in the same NCAA suspension. “I think there are schools that try to cover these types of stories up,” Luca said. “!ese types of stories can ruin the reputation of a school; these incidents also make it harder to draw in new recruits.” !e e#ort made by student athletes

to consistently meet NCAA standards is one that they most certainly work for and commit to. “I don’t mind being held to a higher stan-dard, especially when it’s for something that I love being a part of,” Anderson-Aidoo said.

MEXICAN INDEPENDENCE DAY CELEBRATION At the César Chávez Cultural Center Tuesday, UNC hosted a celebration in honor of 16 de Septiembre. On September 16th, 1810 the Mexican War of Inde-pendence began when a catholic priest, Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, began to !ght for freedom by issuing the Grito de Dolores. "is cry for independence by Hidalgo was a call for the 300 years the Spanish took rule of Mexico. "is !ght for independence helped the people of Mexico to earn their freedom, redistribute land and gain equality in Mexico. A populist army formed in the town of Dolores and they soon marched the Mexico City in hope of tak-ing control of the Mexican Capital. In 1821, the Spanish royalists negotiated a plan with Vicente Guerrero and on August 24, 1821, Spanish Viceroy Juan de O’Donojú signed the Treaty of Córdoba, which approved the plan to make Mexico an independent constitutional monarchy. "is celebration at the César Chávez Center was an op-portunity for UNC students to stop by and be apart of a meaningful event and experience the culture behind the independence of Mexico. At the fair free food, entertain-ment and the chance to explore multicultural organiza-tions was available for students.

“September 16th feels like a home away from home. It was a way to celebrate my heritage... I was truly nervous because it was my !rst time ever singing Mexico’s National Anthem. How-ever, I feel very honored to be able to represent my home country,” said Azanet Rodriguez, a junior nursing major and transfer student from Aims Community College, about performing traditional mariachi music. "e September 16th celebration is an annual event that is hosted and planned by a student at the César Chávez Cultural Center. Martha Pina, a senior human services and psychology major, an employee at the Cultural Center says that September 16th “means a celebration of the Mexican Independence Day and also an oppor-tunity to share our culture with others.” “It was amazing to see what a great turn out we had... the event was a success and it was great to see the support from UNC and the community. I feel great to accomplish this,” said Denise Romero, a ju-nior international a#airs major and host of the event, said.

"e outcome and support gave students the opportunity to join a cultural impact on campus.

When the Campus Commons was discussed at the State of the University Address on Tuesday, September 16, there were not many students that attended the event to state their opinions or to ask UNC President Kay Norton questions on the 74 mil-lion dollar construction project, that will be funded mostly by donors and state funding. !e Campus Commons is a “revo-lutionary idea,” Norton said in her speech on Tuesday. It would hose the Visitors Center, Career Services, "nancial aid and registration along with other o#ces that are currently scattered around campus. !e Com-mons is an opportunity for students to come together and to erase the barrier between di$erent cultural groups as well as give them op-portunities they would not have available otherwise. To be completely successful in housing all of these o#ces every

employee that works in the Commons will be trained on what each o#ce is responsible for so that they can best serve the students of UNC.

Not only will the Campus Commons contain the services of the di$erent o#ces on campus but it will also house a new auditorium and art gallery for students to be more prepared and able to compete in the competitive job market a%er they have graduated. Students such as James Adams, a sophomore Crimi-nal Justice major, agree that the Campus Commons really would be a revolutionary idea and make being a UNC stu-

dent easier. “!ere have been times that I end up going to one o#ce to "nd out that I need to go to another one and when I get

back to my dorm I’ve walked all over campus and dealt with more stress trying to "gure out what I am supposed to do than I should have dealt with for something so simple,” he said. !ere are many students who disagree with the Campus

Commons construction project. Cassandra Sanchez, a junior Political Science major, say that there are other things on campus that could be done on campus to give UNC students more opportunities rather than building the Campus Commons. “!ere have been several times I’ve seen students that are walking on crutches walking across campus. I’ve never seen a cart or a way that UNC assists them. And then when it starts snowing, there’s ice on the sidewalks and they have to maneuver

around that. How is that fair or safe for them or for any-body on campus?”

Last week, on an uncharacteristi-cally warm fall evening, students made their way out for a night at the movies. Although unlike most movie nights, people were shu!ing their way into UNC’s Michener Library for the International Film Series’ "rst showing of 2014-2015 school year, Wes Anderson’s “#e Grand Budapest Hotel.”

#e International Film Series, or IFS as it’s more commonly known, is a faculty initiative supported by student volunteers with the goal of exposing UNC students and the surround Greeley community to important international "lms.

Settling into their seats for the Wednesday night screening, stu-dents and faculty members found themselves side by side as they waited for the house lights to dim.

Already familiar with IFS, UNC student Brittney Karl was attend-ing Anderson’s "lm for the "rst time.

“Last year, I went to all of them except for two,” Karl said.

Annie Epperson, a UNC faculty member attending with a friend, heard about the screening through UNC Today, an email on daily UNC events that goes out to all faculty members.

“We’ve been fans of the "lm se-ries in the past and I really wanted to see this movie when it was "rst

run and we just didn’t make it for whatever reason, so I jumped on it,” Epperson said.

“It was an easy deci-sion.”

Established in 1973, the IFS was initially born out of Professor David Caldwell’s love for movies.

“He just had a great love of mov-ies and wanted to have an oppor-tunity to share them with students. So he stared this little "lm screen-ing group and that’s how it all started,” said Sarah Cornish, the IFS faculty advisor and an assistant professor of English.

While the IFS screenings may be new to many students here on campus, it was once a thriving experience for a variety of commu-nity members.

“It used to be this big thing that all these people came to from Greeley and it’s since lost that fol-lowing,” Cornish said.

While the reasons for the decline in attendance are unclear, IFS is taking a number of steps this year to engage students and the sur-rounding community, the "rst of which being the price of admis-sion.

IFS decided to make "lms free to both students and community members this year in hopes that it will encourage students will bring friends from outside UNC.

#e group has also been deliber-ate in selecting its schedule of eight movies for the fall.

“If you show things that are too obscure nobody is going to come. So we have to reestablish a con-nection to cinema through UNC stu-dents and community members,” Cornish said.

In an e$ort to build a deeper connection with the UNC community, the group has chosen to work with regional directors to allow students the opportunity to work with those behind the lens. While the IFS’s screenings include international double features and horror mov-ies for Halloween, IFS will also be bringing two directors to talk about their "lms.

A screening of “Uranium Drive-In” will feature a chance for students to meet and interact with director Suzan Beraza as her "lm explores themes similar to the fracking boom that’s happening

locally. #ough collaboration with the

High Plains Library District and their “Reel West Film Festival” IFS was able to bring in director Ethan S. Knightchilde for a screening of

his movie “Ghosts of the West.”

#rough "rst hand experiences such as these, the organizers behind IFS hope that students will recon-

nect with their love of cinema. “Very rarely do you get an actu-

ally "lmmaker to come in and talk bout the "lm,” said Josh Savage, a graduate assistant with IFS. “It’s an awesome program and we really want people to know that.”

Hosted by the UNC school of Music, the Marine Band Brass Quintet performed four selections for a scattered crowd of majors at Foundation Hall Tuesday.

!e brass quintet is consist of two trum-pets, a French horn, trombone and tuba. !e brass quintet performs at a plethora of events including bill signings, dinners and weddings.

!e quintet has toured the country since 1990. !e selections they pick o"en portray a certain mood for the event they are performing.

Musicians interested in joining the Marine Band do so by going through a rigorous audition process. A"er turning in a resume, doing an initial interview and a #nal inter-view, talented musicians can be a part of American history.

Michael Mergen has played trumpet with the orchestra for 15 years. He enlisted with the Marine Corps just to play with the orchestra and has loved it ever since.

Although from New Jersey, Mergen enjoys traveling with the band, saying its “wonderful” and they visit “great towns”.

Mergen encourages performers to join a military band because not only do you do what you love but you are well paid. Students marveled at how methodically the band played together, each compli-menting each other as they almost subcon-sciously played each selection and ending with the Barnum and Bailey Circus march leaving the crowd with nostalgic smiles on their faces.

In between each piece di$erent band members would stand and introduce themselves, their instrument and the in-strumental they were about to play.

Before the Marine Band’s recital, the Cattle Baron’s quintet, a band of UNC brass performers composed of under-

graduate and graduate music majors performed.

Each performer played their piece to key and received grand applause from the audience.

Once they #nished one of the trumpet players from the Marine Band began to critique their piece.

Cathy Verbyla, a second year French horn performance major, greatly appreci-ated the advice.

“I was really glad that he help. It was super helpful and the group was super enthusiastic. “

!e piece the quintet played was a #ery Spanish selection titled “Vuelta del Fuego” which translates into “Ride of Fire”. “Ride

of Fire” is the major piece they will be performing Sat-urday for the Cattle Baron Ball, a major fundraiser hosted by the American Cancer Society.

Verbyla commented on how this was their #rst time to perform this piece for an audience before the ball. Supporters of the band were also in the crowd.

Emily Ellerbusch , sophomore special Ed major, was friends with a quintet perform-er and was excited to see what they had worked on.

“It was cool seeing the Marine Band because they are a living part of history,” she said.

Foundation Hall is a hidden gem behind central campus across from Roma’s. It’s breathe taking stage takes you back in time when with the classic seating and giant grand organ in the corner. While the trip is far it’s worth the experi-ence.

Listening to music in such a unique building is a great way to experience the arts o$ campus but close to home.
