Is your NCAA Tournamentbracket busted like a fake Rolex ina soft breeze? Don’t worry, so iseverybody else’s.

And you can blame the two No.15 seeds that messed it up foreverybody, Norfolk State andLehigh.

These two 15 seeds didn’t getthe memo that their games werejust formalities on Missouri andDuke’s paths to the Final Four.

Coming into this year’s tourna-ment, 15 seeds were 4-104 againstNo. 2 seeds, and a 15 seed beating

a 2 seed hadn’t happened in 11years. It happened twice on Fridayin a span of five hours.

The West region’s No. 2 seedMissouri fell first, 86-84, to NorfolkState, and the South region’s No. 2seed Duke promptly followed witha 75-70 loss to Lehigh inGreensboro, N.C., just 53 milesfrom Duke’s Durham campus and479 miles from Lehigh’sBethlehem, Penn., campus.

To add even more red toAmerica’s brackets, fourth-seededMichigan in the Midwest region

fell 65-60 to 13th-seeded OhioFriday, as well.

So, two highly favored No. 2seeds and a dark-horse No. 4 seedall lost in the same day. TheMayans must have seen it coming.

A No. 4 seed losing isn’t asremarkable, but March Madnesshas never seen the madness of twoNo. 15 seeds winning their open-ing games in the same year.

“We messed up some brack-ets!” Norfolk State senior centerKyle O’Quinn yelled beforepostgame interviews. “We even

messed up my bracket.”O’Quinn’s Spartans and Lehigh

both lost in their next gamesSunday, but they gave college bas-ketball fans a day to rememberand Missouri and Duke fans a daythey’ll never forget.

Although millions upon mil-lions of brackets were busted, froma strictly fan perspective, that kindof madness is what makes collegebasketball’s crown jewel one of thegreatest events in sports. Anythingcan happen, and nobody sees itcoming.

Surprises the main attraction for college ball’s premiere event

Recently, laws requir-ing voters to showidentification were

blocked because Democratsasserted the laws are designedto disenfranchise minoritieswho don’t have ID cards andwho tend to vote Democrat.

There are more than a fewexamples of Democrat voterfraud. An NAACP official wasconvicted on 10 counts of voterfraud last year in Mississippi.Left-leaning ACORN has beennotorious for promoting illegalregistration. Allegations recentlyarose that President BarackObama wasn’t eligible to be onthe Indiana ballot because offorged petition signatures.

Republicans could turn thetables and assert that Democratssimply want to keep illegalvotes, but this tactic, like theDemocrats’ current tactic,detracts from the issue and doesno good.

Some are against voter IDlaws because they feel voting isthe foundation of democracyand should not be burdened.

Voting is indeed the founda-tion of democracy, but that’sexactly why we need to safe-guard its integrity.

Many assert illegal votingisn’t a widespread problem, butwe have no way of knowing howwidespread it is because of thesimple principle that people vieto hide illegal activity.

However, ColoradoSecretary of State Scott Gesslerdid identify 12,000 Coloradononcitizens registered to vote in2010 — 5,000 of them voted inthe close election between Ken

Buck and Michael Bennett.That number doesn’t includeillegal registrations that weren’tidentified, ballots cast on behalfof dead people — at least 1.8million dead people are regis-tered, according to NPR — ormultiple ballots cast by singleindividuals.

What it comes down to iswhether requiring an ID is over-ly burdensome (and thereforedisenfranchising) for people orif it constitutes a poll tax (bothof which are illegal).

Many eligible voters do nothave IDs; however, it’s not diffi-cult to obtain one. Inconvenient?Yes, but not excessively onerous— especially when Texas is offer-ing to give them out free to eligi-ble voters.

The more pressing issue iswhether it constitutes a poll tax,and the resounding answer isno because the primary purposeof IDs is not concerned with

voting. IDs are used for a wholeslew of purposes ahead of vot-ing: boarding transportation,opening bank accounts, makingcard purchases and even gettinga library card in many states.

Is it burdensome (and there-fore illegal) that some voters livefarther from poll places thanothers? If paying for an ID isconsidered a poll tax, thenshouldn’t the stamp on mymail-in ballot or the gas I use toget to the polling place be con-sidered likewise?

Let’s stop being ridiculousand start protecting our right tovote. One illegal vote is toomany. At least 5,000 in oneColorado midterm election is atravesty. It’s no wonder so fewpeople have faith in their votesanymore.

The possibility of atuition hike in the 2012-13 academic year was thetopic of a lengthy discus-sion for the Board ofTrustees during theirmost recent meetingMarch 9, with a seven-percent increase seemingthe most feasible forUNC.

Tuition increase discussedThe main topic of dis-

cussion among thetrustees was the tuition-increase options availablefor the University ofNorthern Colorado dur-ing the next academicyear.

With state funding for

universities being cutacross Colorado, manyinstitutions are anticipatingtuition hikes for the 2012-13academic year, includingUNC. However, the Boardof Trustees expects anincrease significantly lowerthan what will be seen bymany universities.

An increase of sevenpercent is anticipated,although an officialannouncement of tuitionincrease will not be madeuntil after the board voteson tuition in June.

“Even at seven per-cent, we would look likesuperstars,” said DickMonfort, the chairman ofthe board.

No increase at allcould be feasible for UNCfor the 2012-13 academicyear, and the universitycould still see an increaseof about $500,000 justfrom the expected one-percent increase inenrollment.

However, not raisingtuition for 2012-13 wouldcause the university totap into its reserve fundsand would most likelylead to a higher-than-average tuition increasethe following year.

“It would be nice to bea poster child for highereducation across thecountry if we could dozero percent this year,and the year after thatand the year after that.But if we had to increase,that good publicity wouldgo south very fast,” saidStephen Luttman, theFaculty Senate represen-tative. “Moderation mightbe called for.”

Robbyn Wacker, the

acting provost and seniorvice president for theDivision of AcademicAffairs, shared data col-lected from students whowere accepted into UNCbut did not register withthe university about whythey chose to attend a dif-ferent institution, and thedata proved that costplayed a small role in thedecision.

“Do we really think a zeropercent tuition increasewould garner us a significantenrollment increase?,” askedMichelle Quinn, the seniorvice president and chieffinancial officer. We honestlydo not believe that would bethe case.”

Quinn said the univer-sity seeks to continue toserve a wide variety ofstudents, even if a tuitionincrease is necessary.

“We want our prices tobe aligned with bringingin students that can besuccessful at UNC,”Quinn said. “When I talkabout pricing, it not onlyincludes setting stickerprice but also includesthe really complex task ofhow and what kind ofscholarship dollars weshould award, and this isreally kind of a new ven-ture for UNC.”

In the past, UNC hadawarded about $2 millionin scholarships, Quinnsaid. Now UNC is award-ing an average of $14-15million in scholarships.

Quinn also said UNCneeds to maximize dis-counted revenue for theuniversity by making themost use out of the “dis-count dollars,” or scholar-ships, awarded to students.

Raises in employeesalaries discussed

The board also dis-cussed increasing salariesfor faculty and staff atUNC.

The board membersreviewed a multi-yearcompensation identityproposal presented byMarshall Parks, the direc-tor of Human Resourcesat UNC.

The proposal calls foran increase in salary to atleast 90 percent of thesalaries offered to facultyand staff at peer institu-tions after UNC has seena steady corrosive slide insalaries over recent years.UNC employees have notreceived a raise for thepast four years.

The multi-year com-pensation identity pro-posal was an informationitem, and therefore noaction was taken follow-ing the discussion.

Trustees support Senatebill for in-state tuition

The first item theboard approved wasUNC’s support of SenateBill 12105, which is a pro-posed Colorado Senatebill that would giveundocumented residentsunsubsidized in-statetuition at universities.

The board passingapproval of the bill addsUNC to the list of publicColorado universities thatsupport the bill.

Trustees approve griev-ance process change

The board also unani-mously passed FacultySenate item 1022, whichwas a request to changethe faculty grievanceprocess.

Doors line the hall-ways of the second floorof McKee Hall at UNC.Behind the doors are sim-ple rooms. The smallercontain a couple of chairsand some sort of decora-tion; larger rooms containup to a dozen chairs in acircle, and yet anotherroom contains a minia-ture table with matchingchairs and hundreds oftoys.

A large two-way mirrorcovers one wall of eachroom with what looks likea technological cave onthe other side, wheresupervisors observe.

The rooms are eachdifferent in aesthetics,but they all serve one pur-pose: To train futurecounselors while helpingthe University ofNorthern Colorado andGreeley communities.

The second floor ofMcKee is home to thePsychological ServicesClinic, a counseling centerstaffed by master’s anddoctoral students, licensedpsychologists and coun-selors who offer a varietyof services, including indi-vidual, couples, group andplay therapy.

Emily Richter, theassistant clinic director,and her colleague,Richelle Walker, boththird-year doctoral stu-dents in the counselingpsychology graduate pro-gram, spend long, tedioushours of their week at thePsychological ServicesClinic and at other loca-

tions providing counsel-ing services that helpthem accomplish theirgoals to become profes-sional psychologists.

While the two are boththird-year doctoral stu-dents, they are at differ-ent points in the programand have some very dif-ferent experiences.

MondayRichter, with her blonde,

shoulder-length hair andbusiness attire, looks morelike a professional than acollege student.

She begins her day asassistant clinic directorby 9:30 a.m., answeringemails and returningphone calls from poten-tial clients, both individu-als and organizations inthe community. Richteralso helps professorsorganize clients for stu-dents taking practica, theclasses where studentsinteract with clients. Shealso helps the cohorts, orgroups, of students asthey intake clients.

She received her bache-lor’s degree in psychologyfrom Colorado StateUniversity, where shefocused on cognitive psy-chology. When she startedher master’s degree, sherealized she wanted to workdirectly with people, whichlead her to the counselingbranch of psychology.

Additionally, Richtermeets with the one clienton her caseload this semes-ter. Because she is so faralong in the program, sheonly has one client at UNCbut has more than a dozenat Colorado StateUniversity, where she is

serving her externship.During their third year,graduate students serve anexternship where they per-form counseling duties at afacility other than thePsychological ServicesClinic, including other uni-versities, veterans’ hospi-tals, psychological centersand other facilities.

Richter said she hashad an interest in psychol-ogy since childhood. Asshe grew up, Richter hadother experiences in herpersonal life that solidifiedher interest in psychology.

“I had several friendsin junior high and highschool commit suicide,and that was very mean-ingful and importantexperiences in my lifethat impacted me,”Richter said. “Wanting tounderstand why they didthat and what led them tothat decision … are what,I think, puts most coun-selors into the mindset of‘Hmm, I think I mightwant to understand psy-chology better.’”

TuesdayWalker combines the

average college student’slook with a professionalaura as her dark hair staystucked away in a pony tailand headband that saysshe’s ready to keep up withher schedule while main-taining a professional lookwith slacks and a top.

Walker spends herTuesdays away from theUNC campus counseling

students at her externshipat Regis University inDenver, where she meetswith 12 clients with differ-ent issues, ranging fromrelationship concerns tosubstance problems.

“Regis has really strictpolicies with drug andalcohol use on campus, soif anybody gets busted,either intoxicated or inpossession, then they areautomatically mandatedcounseling,” Walker said.“So I see substance abusemandated clients too,which I think is whatmakes Regis differentthan other places.”

Although some of herclients meet with herbecause it is mandatory,it is common for them tocontinue with sessionseven after their require-ments have been fulfilled.

“So far, my experiencehas been that people wantto continue after that,which is all about develop-ing a relationship,” Walkersaid. “The first session,

Hoops season ends with Big Sky, WNIT lossPARKER COTTON

[email protected]

The UNC women’s bas-ketball team believed all sea-son it would get to the NCAATournament. The Bears camewithin six minutes of doing it.

Against Idaho State inthe Big Sky ConferenceChampionship game March10 in Pocatello, Idaho, theUniversity of NorthernColorado led 40-35 with 6:04remaining in the game. Thetop-seeded Bengals went on a14-6 run to end the game andearned a bid into the NCAATournament.

The Bears fell into an early16-8 hole, which eventuallyballooned into a 21-10 deficitwith 7:12 to play in the firsthalf. UNC then went on an11-1 run, keyed by two 3-pointers from junior guardVictoria Timm sandwichedaround a layup from juniorforward Lauren Oosdyke thatleft the Bears trailing by justone at halftime at 22-21.

UNC took the lead early in

the second halfand built its lead toas many as six with13:42 remaining.The Bears clung totheir lead as IdahoState wouldn’t goaway, but lost thelead for good withtwo minutesremaining, thoughthe Bears took achance to mount acomeback.

ISU seniorguard Chelsea Pickering hittwo free throws with 21 sec-onds remaining to push theBengals’ lead to 47-43, butTimm answered with one ofher four 3-pointers of thenight. UNC was unable to foulon the ensuing inbound andISU junior guard Kaela Oakesgot an uncontested layup onthe other end.

The Bears had seven sec-onds to work with after that,but the ball was tapped awayas time expired.

Despite the loss, UNChead coach Jaime White, whoremains tied for the mostwins as a head coach in UNC

history with 82,said she was veryproud of how farthe team had got-ten this season.

“We had to doso many differentthings (againstIdaho State), andour kids juststayed focused onthe goal and real-ly did whateverwe had to do tomake it work,”

White said. “All of them did agreat job. We had to do a cou-ple different things and somedifferent kids had to step upand they did.”

Sophomore guardD’shara Strange and Timmwere both honored after thechampionship game asmembers of the all-tourna-ment team.

Because the Bears fin-ished second in the tourna-ment, they were rewardedwith their first-ever postsea-son bid into the Women’sNational InvitationTournament against theUniversity of Colorado last

Wednesday inBoulder.

The Buffaloescame away with a54-42 victory afterhaving two playersscore 10 pointsand two othersscore nine.Oosdyke led UNCwith 15 points, theBears’ only playerin double-figures.

Timm, fresh offa season-high 18-point outburst againstIdaho State, was second onthe team with nine points andsenior forward Kaisha Brownwas third with eight.

The Bears had a UNCDivision-I school-record with23 steals against CU but wereout-rebounded 41-28 andshot just 26.4 percent fromthe field in their final game ofthe season.

Senior guard AmyMarin had the third-high-est total of steals in UNC’sDivision-I history witheight against CU.

Brown’s eight points inthe final game gave her 1,003

in her career,making her the17th player inschool history tohave more than1,000. She alsoends her careerwith 207 3-point-ers, a schoolrecord and thes e v e n t h - b e s ttotal in Big Skyhistory.

In UNC’ssemifinal game

of the Big SkyChampionship tourna-ment on March 9, it tookdown Montana State 51-43.

Sloppy play plaguedboth sides in the openingminutes as nobody scoreduntil more than threeminutes into the contest.MSU built an 11-4 leadmidway through the firsthalf, but the Bears foughtback and a 3-pointer fromsophomore guard MollyDuehn gave UNC an 18-16 advantage at halftime.

The Bears held MSUscoreless for the first six-and-a-half minutes of the second

half and built a 29-16 lead as aresult. The Bobcats got withinfour points twice in the finalthree minutes, but the Bearsfought them off each time.

Oosdyke, Strange andsophomore forward KimLockridge scored 16, 15and 12 points, respective-ly, to lead the Bears to vic-tory.

Strange posted her 10thdouble-double of the sea-son by also grabbing 12rebounds, and in theprocess shook off thenerves she had last season.

“(Last year) I had awhole bunch of nerves,”Strange said of playing inthe Big Sky tournament asa freshman. “This year, Iwas calm, cool and col-lected. I had confidencein myself and in my teamas well, and we got a teameffort. We did well.”

The Bears’ season endswith a 20-12 overallrecord, just the third timethey have had 20 or morewins in a single season(21-8 in 1997-98 and 20-9in 1999-00).

for Richter when sheworks with students atColorado State Universityfor her externship, whereshe has about 15 studentson her caseload.

“I’m really focused onthe college population,”Richter said. “I really likeworking with college stu-dents as clients. I getimmersed in people’s sto-ries. I think it’s amazing totry to put yourself into

someone else’s shoes.Everyone is so different butat the same time we’re allso similar.”

ThursdayWhile much of their

time is spent beingtrained in a real-life coun-seling setting, Walker andRichter are still both stu-dents. Walker spends 10hours in the classroomand then supervisesyounger cohorts Thursdayevenings.

Friday The young women

spend their Fridays awayfrom UNC at their respec-tive externships, meetingwith supervisors and col-leagues, counseling clientsand taking notes and writ-ing case notes.

Both Richter andWalker’s goal is to oneday have their own pri-vate practices, but theysaid they both realizedeveloping a clientele will

take time and experience,the latter of which theyare on their way to estab-lishing through workingat the PsychologicalServices Clinic at UNC.

Baseball team picks up four wins during breakSTAFF REPORT

[email protected]

The UNC baseball teammade good use of its springbreak, adding four wins to itsrecord in series wins againstthe University of Nebraska atOmaha at Jackson Field andSouthern Utah on the road.

On March 9, theUniversity of NorthernColorado (5-8) took the seriesopener against UNO 9-5behind solo homeruns fromshortstop Adam Hilker andthird baseman Tony Crudo,both seniors, and a three-runblast from junior designatedhitter Ben Packard. The Bearsdropped the first of a double-header March 10 8-1 butregrouped to win the second13-12.

In the late game, UNCsenior outfielder AdrianSchenk finished a doubleshort of the cycle, going 5-for-

5 at the dish, including a two-RBI triple in the eighth inningthat gave UNC a 12-11 leadafter previously trailing 11-8at the seventh inning stretch.After the Mavericks (3-12) tiedit in the ninth, Hilker hit abases-loaded walk-off RBIsingle into right field to scorefreshman left fielder EricFerguson for the 13-12 win.

UNC senior lefty pitcherJoe Willman and junior right-hander Dan Talley were cred-ited with wins in the series,winning the first and finalgames, respectively. Willmanwent five innings, allowing allUNO runs on six hits but gotstrong bullpen relief fromsenior Cameron Tallman andfreshman Jess Amedee, whopicked up his second save ofthe season. Talley pitched aperfect two-thirds of aninning and was the seventhand final UNC pitcher used inthe finale.

Willman started the first

game against Southern UtahThursday in Cedar City,Utah, and went fourinnings, allowing two runson six hits with two strike-outs. Amedee relieved himin the fifth and finished thegame, going five inningswhile allowing no runs ontwo hits with four walks andeight strikeouts.

The Bears trailed 2-1when Willman left the game,but a two-run seventh putUNC ahead. Hits from out-fielder Dylan Banach andthird baseman TaylorAnderson and a sacrificebunt from outfielder JensenPark, all freshmen, put tworunners in scoring position.Freshman second basemanRyan Yamane hit a sacrificefly to left to score Banach totie the game. Hilker reachedbase on an error, scoringAnderson, giving UNC a 3-2lead, which would be thefinal margin.

On Friday, the Bears had10 players get hits, but a 13-run fourth inning forSouthern Utah was too muchto overcome, as theThunderbirds came awaywith a 20-11 win. Park, Hilkerand Schenk all had three hitsand at least one RBI, andfreshman Brooks Schneiderhad a three-run double in thegame. Only nine of SouthernUtah’s runs were earned, asthe Thunderbirds benefitedfrom five Bears’ errors.

UNC bounced backSaturday with a 12-5 victo-ry to take the series win in agame in which it had 14hits and no errors. Hilkerwent 4-for-4 at the platewith four RBIs and Crudo,Schenk and Park all hadtwo hits.

Southern Utah (3-15)scored three runs in thefirst inning but two runsin the second and sixth inthe third put UNC ahead

for good. Senior pitcherCasey Coy went fourinnings and allowed fiveruns on six hits. He wasrelieved by freshman EianRaeber who pitched fiveinnings of three-hit ball

and had four strikeoutswhile picking up the firstwin of his career.

The Bears take to thefield again Tuesday to starta two-game set at Nebraska(14-6) in Lincoln.
