UNC hosted a blood driveTuesday to benefit localpatients of the North ColoradoMedical Center.

“There is always a need forblood donors to keep the supplyreadily available,” said JaredPayton, a graduate assistant forCivic Engagement with Housingand Residential Education.

The blood the University ofNorthern Colorado collects goesstraight to the medical center to

help people in Greeley.“As the population increas-

es, we anticipate that the needfor new blood donors willincrease, as well,” Payton said.

UNC is a prominent commu-nity supporter, organizingevents for students and commu-nity members to participate in,including blood drives.

“I feel that UNC is a majorpart of the Greeley community,and it is our responsibility ascitizens of that greater commu-nity to help out in any way wecan,” Payton said. “The UNC Be

Thankful Blood Drive is oneway that UNC students, facultyand staff can give back to theircommunity.”

Payton said numerous blooddrives have been hostedthroughout the years and theevents are an integral part toUNC’s community support.

According to the BannerHealth website, people who aregenerally healthy, do not takeserious medication and have nottraveled outside of the U.S. aregood candidates to be donors.

People who take certain

medicines or have a tattoo orpiercing also face restrictions.Ear piercings are acceptable ifthe process has been done in anestablished facility with a ster-ile needle and if the site is freeof infection. Those who havereceived a piercing anywhere

but the ear, or a tattoo, cannotdonate for one year.

“Someone I work with in thelibrary (…) one of their relatives isgoing through treatment, so I’vebeen meaning to donate,” saidGail Shimokawa, a library techni-cian. “I’m glad it’s on campus soit’s easier to give blood.”

Other students have been giv-ing blood for numerous years.

“I wanted to give blood eversince my sophomore year inhigh school,” said OschelleLopez, a freshman nursingmajor. “I got to donate bloodmy junior year and I’ve beendonating ever since.”

A price is paid for the free-dom Americans share, andThursday’s Veteran’s Day is aday to remember military mem-bers who have sacrificed fortheir country.

Veteran’s Day has been anational holiday since 1919 whenPresident Woodrow Wilsondeclared Nov. 11 Armistice Day inremembrance of lives lost duringWorld War I. In 1954, the namewas changed to Veteran’s Day,commemorating all veterans inthe United States, according tothe United States Department ofVeteran’s Affairs website.

Greeley is the home of 6,088veterans, according to theGreeley Census Data Center.This is a little more than 10 per-cent of the population.

Ivan Virruet, a sophomorejournalism major and a studentemployee for Veteran’sServices, said at UNC, there arebetween 150–200 veterans, orthose who have close ties to themilitary. Virruet said he came tothe University of NorthernColorado because he was sta-tioned in Colorado Springsserving in the army after a tourof duty in the Middle East.

Virruet also said Veteran’sServices’ job is to assist militarystudents in obtaining financialaid and working with theRegistrar’s Office. TheVeterans’ Services office islocated in Roudebush Cottagenext to Gray Hall on centralcampus.

In recognition of the holiday,Veteran’s Services will have atable with information Thursdayat the University Center.

Another military program oncampus is the Reserve Officers’Training Corps program. AtUNC, 46 people are enrolled inMilitary Science classes.

“Army ROTC definitely pro-motes a college education,”said Michael Lanhrop, an ROTCinstructor. “Without a bache-lor’s degree, you cannot com-

mission as an officer.” Scholarship cadets receive

full tuition for four years ofschooling. The ROTC programprovides other opportunitiesfor cadets, such as mentorshipprograms and intramural sportsteams. Lathrop said any stu-dent is able to enroll in theMilitary Science 100 and 200level classes with no commit-ment outside of a regular col-lege class.

To commemorate the veter-ans in the Greeley area, 6,000flags will be displayed on theUniversity Center’s lawn facing11th Avenue.

“It is important to recognizethe soldiers still out there at warand recognize those that arehome,” said Jared Payton, agraduate assistant for CivicEngagement. “We must thankthem for their service.”

POLL

My dissatisfactionstarted when I wasa freshman at ori-

entation and was unable to signup for several classes, but I dis-missed the problem. I had a lateorientation, and as a freshman,I had low priority in pickingclasses.

The battle to register for classeshas since then occurred biannually.Students rush to log on when theirpin numbers become valid so they

can hope to fill one of the last fewspots in a class. It becomes a click-ing race, and the winners are oftendetermined by Internet connectionspeeds.

The second time I registered forclasses was also bad. The third andfourth times were progressively bet-ter, and when my fifth registrationwent almost perfectly, I figured Ihad finally passed beyond low-pri-ority registration and was on thehome stretch.

I never thought about the possi-bility of poor design.

Of the four classes I must takenext semester in order to graduateon time, two are offered at the sametime and the other two were fullbefore my registration opened.

Luckily, one of the professorswas able to green-card me into oneof the full classes, but for the othertwo classes, I’m out of luck, and thislikely means I’ll have to stay anextra semester.

I understand underclassmenwon’t necessarily be able to takeevery class they want to, but once astudent gets into the final stretchwhere each class must be taken at acertain time, there should be noroom for mistakes.

It’s not even that the two classesbeing offered at the same time arein separate programs; that, I wouldbe able to understand, but bothclasses are required for my major.

I’m now faced with a dilemma:stay an extra semester and possibly

be able to finish my programs, orgraduate on time and risk not com-pleting my minor.

Ironically, my minor is more intune with what I want to do withmy life, and since I’m so far intoboth programs, transferring schoolswould only set me back, probablyfurther than UNC’s oversight will.

I don’t know where educationwent wrong. That’s not entirelytrue; I know, but 400 words isn’tenough to go into detail — but Idon’t think education was meantto be a button race, one which Ilost before I could participate.

MSNBC host KeithOlbermann was sus-pended indefinitely

on Friday when Politico reported hedonated to Democrats’ campaigns.The network’s ethics guidelines barjournalists from making contribu-tions to politicians without priorapproval. Indefinitely turned out tobe two days; Olbermann returnedto host “Countdown” Tuesday.

There are several ethical ques-tions here. For one thing, what isOlbermann’s responsibility to thenetwork? To my mind, if anemployee signs a contract, there isno excuse not to follow the employ-

er’s rules. That’s not to say theemployer is always correct, onlythat Olbermann makes too muchmoney not to do what he’s asked.In this case, he said he didn’t knowthe contributions were againstcompany policy. If that’s the truth,it’s more than fair to punish him forhis ignorance.

The question then is more inter-esting: What is his responsibility asa journalist? Or, more directly, whatis his responsibility to America? Thefact that Olbermann is involved inpolitical activity shouldn’t surpriseanyone; his donations toDemocrats shouldn’t surprise any-one; his bias is present and clear inhis show. At Fox News, SeanHannity gave thousands of dollarsto PACs for Republican candidates.There was no fuss there.

I don’t mind that Olbermanndonated. I think it’s possible to be a

fine journalist and also have a clearopinion. But when Arizona Rep.Raul Grijalva appeared on“Countdown,” Olbermann didn’tmention donating to him. Not asmart move. As a fan of his show —isn’t it strange that “news pro-grams” can have fans? — I refuse tobelieve Olbermann was just stupid.He didn’t say anything because hedidn’t want to be seen as biased.

If there’s a question of ethics, itlies in his manner. Do what youwant as a network or a reporter, butfor the sake of the viewers, let themknow when there’s a conflict ofinterest. As a former sportsreporter, Olbermann ought toknow not to bet on a game he isreporting on.

Exchange program switches students domesticallyBRIDGETT WEAVER


Students dreaming of travel-ing and experiencing differentcommunities within the UnitedStates, but are nervous abouttaking time off school, have anopportunity to do so while stillgoing to school through a UNCprogram.

The National Student Exchangeoffers students a chance to exploreother parts of the U.S. while takingclasses at another university for upto a year.

NSE coordinator Dee Schrinerhosted a meeting in her office atthe University Center for stu-dents interested in learning moreabout the program.

Select colleges, in every stateexcept North Dakota, partici-pate in NSE and work withUniversity of Northern Colorado

in every state except NorthDakota. Currently, 11 studentsfrom other colleges are takingclasses at UNC through NSE.

The program works as an alter-native for those who cannot affordto study abroad because there areno extra tuition fees to participate.Students pay their tuition to UNCjust like in a normal semester, andtheir room and board costs arepaid to the host college.

Other than choosing a collegethat offers classes within theirmajor, the options of where to goare basically limitless.

The University of Georgiamight be appealing to those whosuffer the wrath of a Coloradowinter, or Queens College inNew York might appeal to small-town students looking for a bigcity experience.

“I want to go somewhere I’venever been,” said Briana Moon, a

sophomore elementary educationmajor.

Students can apply by fillingout an application and paying theapplication fee. Once acceptedinto the program and officiallyplaced in a school, students canregister for classes through theiradviser at the host university.

“You can take some (classes)for fun that are just electives,since you don’t have the beachin Colorado to do so,” Schrinersaid in reference to classes inMarine Biology on the coasts.

Schriner advised participantsto live on campus because it is eas-ier to meet people and have moretime to experience their newhome, rather than worrying aboutthings like groceries and bills.

She said every situation is differ-ent, but they try to customize theprogram to every student’s needs.The goal is for students to experi-

ence a new part of the country. “I want to expand and get a

different point of view,” saidJake Carstens, a sophomore

earth science major.For more information about

National Student Exchange, contactDee Schriner at 970-351-1367.

Several UNC psychology profes-sors had shared the research theyhave been conducting with othermembers in the field of psychologyaround the world in France, Peru,China and Canada.

These professors attendedconferences internationally, inwhich they not only presentedtheir research but also were ableto see what kind of researchother psychology professionalswere conducting.

Psychology professor DougWoody and two student assistants,psychology majors SkyeWoesterhoff and Alexis Walker, pre-sented research that investigatedhow the beliefs of members of a juryare affected by confessions madeduring police interrogation at theAmerican Psychology-Law societyconvention in Vancouver, Canada.

“While in Vancouver, I had theopportunity to attend many pre-sentations related to novelresearch in psychology and law,”Woesterhoff said. “Specifically, Iattended several presentations oninterrogation and interviewing,detecting deception and jury deci-sion-making. I also had the oppor-tunity to converse with prominentscholars in the field about theirresearch. Additionally, AlexisWalker and I presented a poster onthe effects of an interrogationtechnique, called a false-evidence

ploy, on juror decision-making.”David Gillam, a psychology

professor, presented research onfetal alcohol syndrome at a meet-ing of the International Societyfor Biomedical Research onAlcoholism in Paris. Gillam’sresearch focuses on how genes ofboth the mother and the childwill influence the effects of alco-hol on the child’s brain.

“The best part of presenting wasthe ability to talk with other biomed-ical alcohol researchers from all overthe world about their research,”Gillam said. “I learned about severalnew research techniques in thestudy of Fetal Alcohol SpectrumDisorders in my area of research.”

Nancy Karlin, a psychology pro-

fessor, collected research on theeffects of natural disasters on com-munities. Karlin was part of a groupof researchers who conducted datacollection on Vina Vieja, a smallfarming community outside ofLima, Peru. Karlin used community-based research to look at theresilience of communities as they tryto make it through these crises.

“During our stay at Vina Vieja,we took on the roles of bothresearchers and of community par-ticipants, recognizing that thisresearch could not take on the nor-mal hit-and-run method of data col-lection,” Karlin said. “As we dealtwith people’s personal thoughts anddebilitating experiences, we formedan initial bond with our participants.We were also (…) invited into theirprivate worlds that research oftenhas a difficult time reaching.”

Several other University ofNorthern Colorado psychologyservice professors also presentedresearch internationally. CarlGranrud gave a research presenta-tion in Switzerland, and PaulKlacynski did a variety of presen-tations, consultations and datacollection in China.

Two students cross country for water struggleERIC HEINZ


Instantaneous access toclean, consumable water issomething almost any citizen ina well-developed country takesfor granted, yet a large percent-age of the world’s populationgoes without this luxury, and itcan sometimes prove fatal forcommunities.

Two UNC students havetaken the initiative to help the

struggle for clean water byteaming up with Thirst ReliefInternational, an organizationdedicated to funding cleanwater in developing countries,and will travel across the coun-try to assist the effort.

Seniors Kelsey Bigelow, aphotography major, andMerida Teot, an English major,are organizing a plan to visitevery state in the continentalUnited States to fund countrieswith water deficiencies by set-

ting up photography and mod-eling workshops. They willdonate 80 percent of what theyearn from the clinics to ThirstRelief International. The expe-dition is called The 48 in 48Project.

According to the ThirstRelief International website, $5can help one person who isaffected by poor water condi-tions. The goal of the organiza-tion is to be able to provideworldwide clean water through

donations and research.Bigelow said although they

will not take photos in everystate, they plan to at least visiteach state and set up photogra-phy workshops in various citieswhere there is a demand forphotographers.

“We’re doing photographyshoots and workshops in 53cities across the country,”Bigelow said. “What we’re look-ing for are ambassadors — forexample, I’ve never been to

Savannah, Ga. I don’t knowwhere to shoot, I don’t knowwhere the colleges are, so wewant to find people who canhelp us.”

The photo shoots areaccompanied by professionalphotographers and models whovolunteer for the workshops.Participants go through a two-hour workshop to learn aboutlighting, modeling and other

Percussionists provide unique melodiesRYAN LAMBERT

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

On Tuesday, Foundation Hallreverberated with the melody ofUNC’s percussion ensemble, agroup that consisted of 30 musicmajors performing a concert.

The event was free and opento the Greeley community, UNCstudents, faculty and staff.

The ensemble wanted toexhibit its talents, members said,and they were satisfied with theturnout of more than 40 people.

“We put in over 100 hours ofpractice on this concert, easily,”said Nathan Wilkinson, seniormusic education major. “Also,

this gives us the chance toincrease our musical abilities.”

The event began with 12 per-cussionists playing a rendition ofJack Stamp’s intense“Vociferation,” which garnered itstitle for its ending, a loud utterance.

Next, the group played SteveReich’s minimalist composition,“Music for Pieces of Wood.” Thepiece began with one percussion-ists getting up from the audienceto play a pair of claves, smallwooden rods. As the piece pro-gressed, however, other musi-cians began to slowly join theircompanion. Soon, five percus-sionists were on stage playingmusic written to mimic the

sounds of nature.The concert continued with

“ C h a m e l e o nMusic,” a melodythat was basedon a story by therenowned jour-nalist, essayistand novelistTruman Capote.The story is “TheMusic forC h a m e l e o n s , ”and it is about aM a r t i n i q u ewoman’s amazing ability to sum-mon animals to her jungle terracewhenever she plays works ofMozart.

Indeed, the piece made cre-ative use of Mozart’s music and

elements ofCapote’s story.For example,in the story, thec h a m e l e o n senter a trancewhenever thewoman playsthe piano, andto break thisspell, she muststamp her feet.T h r o u g h o u t

the performance, the percussion-ists stamped their feet, breakingthe audience’s trance-like state.

The band also played David

Steinquest’s jazz version of BellaFleck’s “Metric Lips.”

Finally, the group per-formed Eric Ewazen’s “ThePlace of Nine Perfections.”Scrolls painted by the seven-teenth century painter YuanChiang inspire the music, andit is designed to invoke a mili-tary procession under theChinese emperor K’ang-hsi ashis army marches to the impe-rial palace.

The procession membershoped that their audience had agreat time at the show.

“I hope that they had an amaz-ing night and experienced somegreat music,” Wilkinson said.

Popular college topics brought up during improv showTOTIANNA WEEKLY

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

Theater students have beenkeeping a hilarious secret thattakes place on Sunday evenings.Corduroy Comedy Troupe hasbeen splitting the sides of audi-ences for about two years, and theshow’s comedic styles are intend-ed to fit most college students’standards of what is consideredfunny.

This Sunday, crude and offen-sive skits were performed thataddressed many topics and cur-rent issues, such as prayer,Facebook, werewolves, guardianangles, homo and heterosexuali-ty.

“I’m glad to be involved withCorduroy because I think it is agreat stepping stone,” said HeidiCheek, a Corduroy Comedy per-former. “One of the founders nowattends Second City, which is a

comedy school in Chicago.”The improvisation show

began with three students inUNC’s theater department. Sincethen, the troupe has grown to 15members.

In one of the subtle skits con-cerning the dating website E-Harmony, the actors branched offinto a physical dating cafe withthe same intentions of finding outif a man and woman were com-patible enough to be a couple.The lights faded from black on thestage and the audience watched anice, young established coupleenjoying coffee together.

The host appeared and beganto ask a series of questions like,“What’s your girlfriend’s favoritetelevision show?” and “What’syour boyfriend’s favorite sport?”

The next questions changedeverything and the host asked theboyfriend, “What is your girl-friend’s favorite drink?” The

boyfriend answered wrong, andthat response deemed the coupleincompatible and the boyfriendwas whisked away into darkness.After that, the girlfriend is leftalone at the table and isapproached by a woman. The twofell madly in love and theboyfriend was outraged.

The audience roared withlaughter once they saw the reac-tion the ex-boyfriend had to thesituation. The girlfriend cried outenthusiastically, “I have neverbeen more happy,” and ran offwith the woman. The boyfriendsaid, “ If she can sleep with some-one else, then so can I.” The hostbluntly said, “There are nomatches for you!”

The performance filled theroom with wild laughter, chucklesand people gasping for air.Corduroy, is a show where per-formers become immersed withaudiences in some cases, and the

audience is very interactive witheach other and the skits.Enthusiasm can be seen through-out the seats. Most college stu-dents will enjoy CorduroyComedy, because of the comedic

topics. Going to this improvisation

show may seem like a randomthing to do during Sundayevenings, but going will beworth it.

The UNC men’s basketballteam will look to build on the suc-cess it found last season as it tips offthe new season Friday againstTabor College.

The University of NorthernColorado set a school record with25 wins a year ago, and seniorguard Devon Beitzel said he andthe rest of the seniors will have tolead the team this season to be suc-cessful once again.

“We have to lead by example,”Beitzel said. “A lot of the guys onthe team weren’t a part of this pro-gram when we went through our 4-24 season and then the come-up,what we had to do to go from 4-24to 25-8 last year. A lot of these guysdon’t know what kind of work,what kind of effort is needed to putinto practice day in and day out. Asseniors and guys who have been apart of this program for a long time,we just gotta lead by example.”

Head coach B.J. Hill said he islooking forward to the leadershipthe seniors on the team will bring.

“We really have two groups,”

Hill said. “We have a group that’sfour seniors and one junior, and wehave a bunch of freshman and guysthat haven’t seen the floor a lotwhen the lights are on and there’speople in the stands, and we needthose seniors to provide someleadership because they’ve beenthrough the battles.”

Beitzel, who averaged 14.3points per game last year, was theteam’s second leading scorer and isreturning from a foot injury thatforced him to miss the last sevengames of the season.

“I feel good; I feel confident,” hesaid. “It sucked last year going outwith an injury, especially when Idid — when we were playing sowell. Rehab went well, and sum-mer went well. The foot’s feelingstrong, so I’m ready to go.”

Beitzel also said freshmanguard Paul Garnica has been veryimpressive in practice leading upto Friday’s season opener.

“Paul is looking really good,”Beitzel said. “He’s very talentedand working hard, and he’slearning. And that’s the mostimportant thing.”

As for redshirt freshman for-

ward Emmanuel Addo, senior for-ward Neal Kingman, who averaged7.2 points and 3.5 rebounds pergame last year, said he was excitedfor what Addo brings to the team.

“I think his redshirt season wasdefinitely good for him — he putsome weight on, got stronger,”Kingman said. “He’s so skilled inthe post. He’s just as skilled as any-body we got.”

Hill said sophomore centerConnor Osborne, who has aseverely broken wrist, and fresh-man guard Tevin Svihovec, whohas a broken foot, will likely beredshirted this season because oftheir injuries.

The Bears return five of theirtop six scorers and their top fourrebounders from last year,which should make for anothersuccessful season for UNC.Despite the numbers, however,Kingman said the team still hasa lot to accomplish.

“We haven’t proven anythingyet,” Kingman said. “We didn’t wina Big Sky championship. We didn’tgo to the big tournament like wewanted to. Yeah, we set a record forwins in a season for any Northern

Colorado team, but that wasn’t ourgoal last season. Our motto thisseason is we haven’t achieved any-thing yet.”

The team will take its first steptowards their goals against TaborCollege at 7:30 p.m. Friday atButler-Hancock Sports Pavilion.

Sixth-place Eastern Washingtongave UNC all it could handle earlier

this season asthe Bears nar-r o w l yescaped witha 3-2 win inC h e n e y ,Wash.

The Eagles (7-16, 6-7) willcome into Butler-Hancock SportsPavilion Thursday night with a lotto play for as their postseasonhopes are still alive, while theUniversity of Northern Colorado(21-5, 12-1) will look to inch clos-er to a Big Sky regular-seasonchampionship.

The magic number is down tothree for UNC, as they still only holda half-game lead over Portland

State in the standings, despite own-ing a six-match winning streak.

Eastern Washington is a just 1-10 on the road this season, whilethe Bears are a perfect 6-0 at homein conference play and 12-1 overallat Butler-Hancock Sports Pavilion.

UNC has been sparked duringits win streak by its defensive effort,which included a season-high 15.5team blocks in the Bears’ 3-0 victo-ry over Montana State on Saturday.

Eastern Washington is a verydeep team offensively with six play-ers on its roster who have 100 ormore kills on the season, led bysophomore outside hitter ShelbyPuckett with 238. EWU as a team,though, has only hit for a .160attacking percentage.

The Bears, as usual, will look tosophomore outside hitter KellyArnold to provide electricity offen-sively and defensively. Arnold leads

the Bears with 374 kills and ranksthird on the team with 226 digs onthe year.

UNC will get its chance to set aschool record for single-seasonvictories with a win Thursdaynight, breaking the mark they setlast season.

UNC and Eastern Washingtonwill get under way at 7p.m.Thursday inside Butler-HancockSports Pavilion.

We’ve reached themidway point of theNFL season, and it’s

been a very unpredictable onethus far. Just ask Jerry Jones andWade Phillips.

Many players stepped up infantasy this year, though, especial-ly lesser-known players who cameoff the waiver wire.

Broncos’ wide receiverBrandon Lloyd wasn’t supposed todo much this season. With rookieDermaryius Thomas, JabarGaffney and Eddie Royal, Lloyd

was supposedly an afterthought inDenver’s offense.

Through week nine, Lloyd isleading the NFL in receiving andhas been Kyle Orton’s favorite tar-get. He is averaging more than 100yards per game and has scoredfour touchdowns this season.

Texans’ running back ArianFoster wasn’t expected to domuch this season either. With therookie season that Steve Slatonhad and the signing of DerrickWard, I didn’t think Foster wouldmake much noise.

He has completely surpassedhis expectations, though, and isthe number one rusher in the NFLright now. He is averaging morethan 100 yards on the ground pergame with nine touchdowns andhas kept Houston afloat throughtheir struggles.

Eagles’ quarterback MichaelVick was predicted to spend theseason on the bench whileKevin Kolb shined. After Kolb’sinjury, Vick was thrust into thespotlight and has done nothingbut succeed.

In five games, Vick has thrownfor seven touchdowns, rushed fortwo more and has yet to throw aninterception while leading theEagles to a 5-3 record. Vick alsohas the best quarterback rating inthe NFL.

These players were overlookedby almost everyone before the sea-son started but all have managedto succeed and lead the league intheir respective categories.

Here are my sit-start picks forWeek 10.

The Kansas City running backtandem of Thomas Jones and

Jamaal Charles has been tearingteams up this season and will con-tinue to do so against the Broncos,which have the second-worst rushdefense in the NFL.

Look for the two to rush forabout 100 yards apiece andboth to reach the end zone atleast once.

Vick’s matchup this weekagainst the Redskins looks to melike a fantasy point bonanza. Theyhave an awful pass defense and aremediocre at best against the run.

Vick will party in the end zoneall day Sunday, throwing for 200yards, rushing for 100 more andthrow for two touchdowns andrun another in.

Vikings running back AdrianPeterson has been quiet this sea-son but has still managed to rushfor 857 yards through his team’s

first eight games. This week, the Vikings face a

stout Chicago Bears defense thatranks third in the NFL againstthe run.

Peterson will get shut downthis week, rushing for only 75yards and no scores in a Bearsvictory.

Cowboys’ receiver Miles Austinhas continued to excel since heburst onto the scene last season.Unfortunately, Jon Kitna can’tthrow a football, and the Giantshave the second-best pass defensein the NFL.

Austin can’t throw the ball tohimself and will only accumulate60 yards on the day.

Unexpected stars become league leaders at midseason

Fresh faces highlight women’s hoops teamJORDAN FREEMYER

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

Over the past four seasons,UNC women’s basketball coachJaime White could count on onething come game time: WhitleyCox would score points.

Now, Cox and the 18.4points per game she scored lastseason are gone, and White willturn to a veteran frontcourt anda bumper crop of newcomers toget the University of NorthernColorado on track.

“(I’ll miss) her automaticoffense, her ability to takesomebody one-on-one and pullup inside of the key,” Whitesaid.

UNC will rely on seniorCourtney Stoermer to takemore of a leadership role thisseason. Stoermer was the Bears’second-leading scorer last sea-

son with 12.2 points per game.She also pulled down an aver-age of four rebounds per gameand led the team in both assistsand minutes played.

“It’s important as a seniorleader with a lot of experienceto step in that role especially forthe young kids coming in,”Stoermer said.

Stoermer will anchor a deepUNC frontcourt along withsophomore Lauren Oosdyke,

who led the Bears with 6.8rebounds per game as a redshirtfreshman.

“Averaging a double-double;that’s my goal this year,” saidOosdyke, who averaged 9.6points per game last season.

Stoermer and Oosdyke willbe joined in the frontcourt byseniors Lara Merritt, who start-ed all 30 games last season, andJayne Strand, who shot 53 per-cent from the floor as a junior.

Mainly to bolster its perime-ter game, UNC brought in fivenewcomers this season, fourfreshmen and a junior collegetransfer, some of whom will becalled on to contribute earlyand often this season.

photography techniques. Thecost of the workshops is $25 —$20 goes to Thirst ReliefInternational and $5 will go to tripexpenses. Bigelow and Teot set upphoto shoots in Denver earlierthis semester to gauge how effec-tive the workshops are. Now, thetwo plan to take their idea on theroad.

According to the World HealthOrganization website, about 1.1billion people in the world arewithout clean, consumable water.This problem is also the catalyst formany waterborne illnesses, such asdiarrhea and cholera.

Bigelow said she contactedThirst Relief in March after sheworked with the groupPhotographers for Haiti, a programthat included mini photo clinics tohelp send funds to Haiti. She said

she pitcheda similaridea toT h i r s tR e l i e fs h o r t l yafter, andt h e yb e c a m eo f f i c i a l l yassociatedwith theorganization a few months later.

Both Bigelow and Teot saidthey want to leave Jan. 1, 2011, buttheir departure may be delayeduntil mid February because of theamount of scheduling required tovisit all of the cities. For the twosoon-to-be alumnae, the trip is ahumanitarian mission, but it isalso intended to be a post-gradua-tion self-exploration.

“I had this idea of doing this

road trip,and I wast h i n k i n ga b o u twhat Iwanted todo afterg r a d u a -tion, and itwas kindof the onlything that

made sense,” Bigelow said. “Ithought, ‘I should be traveling,’and I wanted to pair it up withThirst Relief because I think it’s awonderful organization.”

Bigelow also said the reasonthey chose to donate to ThirstRelief International because themoney they raise will go directlyto the cause. She said the laborcosts are none and benefit thecommunities because they hire

local help. Reflecting on charitable work

they have done since coming toUNC, both women said they neverexpected to do something thisinvolved after college.

“Four years ago, I came toUNC and thought, ‘When I leave,I’m going to make a lot of moneyand be very wealthy, have a nicecar and a high-paying job,’” Teotsaid. “Now, I’d rather live onSeventh Avenue in my crappy, lit-tle one-bedroom apartment forthe rest of my life if it means I getto help people.”

from Fountain-Fort Carson High School, will beasked to start at point guard, a spot vacated in thelineup by Lizzie Cooper,UNC’s other senior last sea-son.

“I really like our freshmencoming in,” White said.“We’re going to get reallygood minutes from KimLockridge, Kirsten Hess andMolly Duehn.”

Junior Kaisha Brown willalso see increased minutesin Cox’s absence.

“I think we have to stepup, work as a team and takecare of the ball,” Brown said.

Brown started 10 games a year ago, averaging 7points and shooting a team-best 38 percent frombehind the arc. She said she wants to play a morewell-rounded offensive game this season.

“I’m looking to score a little more,” Brown said.“Be a little more of a threat in two different ways,off the dribble and not just from the 3-point line.”

Being somewhat of an unknown quantity in theBig Sky Conference, UNC was picked eighth in boththe coaches’ and media preseason polls.

The Bears finished seventh in the Big Sky lastyear, just missing the conference tournament forthe second straight season. White said the team’sgoal is to end the two-year dry spell.

“It’s not just our goal to make it, we want to winit,” White said.

UNC opens its season with three-straight homegames, the first of which is Nov. 12 against SouthDakota.
