UNC students Nicoleand Ashley Larsonteamed up with the RockyMountain CancerRehabilitation Instituteand the Swing Club toraise awareness about theinstitute’s work by host-ing the Spring Swingdance event on Saturdayin the University CenterBallrooms.
Nicole, a junior sportsand exercise science and
psychology double major,organized the event inhonor of individuals whohave touched her lifethrough their battle withcancer.
She brought her twinsister Ashley, a juniornursing major, on boardwith plans of a smalldance.
“I planned eventsthroughout high school,and earlier this year, Idecided that I wanted toplan another one, andthat’s where the whole idea
came from,” Nicole said.As their friends and
family learned moreabout the project, it grewinto a full dance event,complete with big bandmusic, swing dance les-sons and a DJ to play con-temporary pop musiclater on in the night.
Members of the SwingClub taught attendeeshow to do the basic stepsof swing dancing and theCharleston earlier in theevening.
Afterward, studentswere turned loose topractice their newfoundskills to the tune of bigband music. TheUniversity of NorthernColorado Jazz Band andthe Front Range JazzOrchestra provided thetunes.
The event was hostedto raise awareness andsupport for the RMCRI.
According to its web-site, RMCRI was estab-lished in 1996 and worksto improve cancerpatients’ quality of lifeand to prevent cancersurvivors from relapsingthrough prescriptive exer-cise rehabilitation andnutritional intervention,which makes RMCRI theonly institute of its kind in
the United States.The institute serves
the Greeley and campuscommunity and is housedin the Ben NighthorseCampbell Center on cen-tral campus.
RMCRI relies solely ongrants and donations toprovide services to patients.
The institute also pro-vides internship opportu-nities for sport and exer-cise science majors. Theinstitute staff said theybelieve that understand-ing and identifying thebenefits of exercise incancer patients and sur-vivors is imperative to theprogression of cancerrehabilitation research.
Jaime White, the UNCwomen’s basketballcoach, spoke at the danceabout her own experi-ences with RMCRI threeyears ago during her battlewith cancer. After beingdiagnosed with multipleforms of cancer at 33, shesaid she was discouraged
but did not want to dwellon the diseases.
“I wanted to dwell onsurviving, and that iswhat the Rocky MountainCancer RehabilitationInstitute did for me,”White said. “I can’t do aplank while I’m healthy,and they expected me todo one when I was goingthrough radiation andchemotherapy. They gaveme a reason to hope.”
The Spring Swingraised more than $1,000from ticket sales alone,and an estimated $500more from the silent auc-tion. All proceeds will bedonated to RMCRI forresearch purposes.

Mirror Reflections are the opinion of The Mirror’s editorial board: Parker Cotton, Eric Heinz, Melanie Vasquez, Benjamin Welch and Ruby White. Let us know what you think.E-mail us at [email protected].
We are all aware of the impactYouTube has on our society.Whether it is an important newsreport or stereotypical perpetuationof a certain group of people (coughs:Antoine Dodson), YouTube hasfound a way to influence us.Available to users of this video,social-networking site is a plethoraof our live performances and musicvideos from our favorite musicians.From Billy Holiday singing her bluesto Chris Brown’s hit, “Look At MeNow,” almost every music enthusi-ast can find at least a video or twofrom their favorite artists.
But, because anyone and every-
one can upload a video to YouTube,artists who were once only able tofind fame on street corners and incoffee shops can now have their tal-ents spread like wildfire in a matterof hours. This has proven to be agood thing for many people, suchas tween heartthrob Justin Beiber.
Recently, a 13-year-old namedRebecca Black shot a video thathas gone viral with more than 40million views of her song, “Friday,”which allotted her an interview onThe Tonight Show with Jay Leno.Usually a riveting song, perhapsonly being a one-hit-wonder butbringing euphoria to the ears of lis-
teners, would accompany suchfame. For Black, however, famedidn’t come with positive feedbackfrom a major fan base and musiccritics everywhere have negativelyrated her song and video.
The song has received majorcriticism for its lack of clever lyrics.It provides listeners with the pleas-ure of hearing about a 13-year-oldhaving fun on Friday and beingexcited at the fact that it is Friday.But, the problem here isn’t the factthat Black’s song has been reportedas a cacophonic abomination to themusic industry, but instead thepopularity the song itself and Black
have benefited from the provenlack of her talent.
It has been reported that Blacknow makes about $27,000 per weekfrom royalties she receives from thepopularity of her song. Musicianswho may have actual talent andbust their rumps every day to beheard barely get the time of day.Instead, we have a tendency tospend our time exploiting kids andbashing them on the songs theyrelease. We should focus on the realtalent out there without contribut-ing to the thousands of dollarsthese kids are making that collegegrads barely earn after school.

Music industry lacks focus of quality entertainers
The past two months Ihave been in rehearsalfor a play that opens on
campus this week. The processhas been pleasant, although attimes physically and emotionallyexhausting. Nicky Silver’s scripthas wild turns, both in plot andin tone. It is, in some ways, mas-terful. With no credit to me, theshow is surprisingly funny.
But when “Raised InCaptivity” premiered in NewYork in 1995, much criticalattention was on the play’s AIDSthemes. Along with dozens ofother playwrights in the ‘80s and
‘90s, including his colleaguesChristopher Durang and the bril-liant Tony Kushner, Silver usedthe theater to bust open discus-sion about AIDS in a new way.
The emotional and socialconsequences of the virus couldbe explored in the theaterbefore they could be parsedapart in the classroom. Thereare no HIV cures to be found inthe theater, of course, but hav-ing a public forum for the per-sonal side of the virus can givepeople something to talk about— something not to be ignored.
“Angels in America” did notbecome a contemporary classic bybeing easy to watch. The play isimportant, rather, because it tells acomplex story that is inextricablytied to HIV. The play could not havebeen written before it was.Conversely, though it is (too) easy
to laugh at some outdated bits of“Rent” now, when the musicalopened, it contained bold state-ments about sex and youth culturein a world touched by epidemic. Itspoke for its time. And though itseems counter to logic, the musicalwill survive not as an artifact but asa living art. The first New Yorkrevival will open this summer.
HIV is still a problem to besolved, but a lot has happenedsince the AIDS scare of the ‘80s.The September 11 attacks haveinfluenced and informed moreAmerican plays than perhapsany event since the war inVietnam. The same goes for liter-ature and visual art.
Some artists ask why Godmight allow something like thatto happen. Others ask whathappened 30 years ago to bringabout the present war. Still oth-
ers ask where the head is on thehead of our government. Butthe art that will withstand thetest of time will be the very artthat speaks for its time. Theplays that tell personal storiesthat could not have arrived atany other point in our history.My question is, in our currentglobal culture, how can theAmerican experience bedeemed more accessible thanthe Libyan? Or the Japanese? Orthe Israeli? And what will be thenext event, catastrophic or not,only art can examine with thenecessary mix of delicacy andhonesty? Not just for NewYorkers, not just for Americans,but also for the world.

UNC has many clubsthat interest students butnone have catered tothose who consider them-selves a stereotypical“nerd” — that is untilnow.
Illuminerdy is not yetofficially chartered by theUniversity of NorthernColorado, but the presi-dent, or rather the “highwar chief,” Clark Lamson,a junior communicationmajor, said he and the clubmembers are working onbecoming an official club.
“The first thing we hadto do was create a consti-tution,” Lamson said. “So
we had the members andofficers create one by list-ing what they wanted tosee in Illuminerdy.”
Lamson saidIlluminerdy is a place fornerds to discuss anythingand everything they havein common.
“We are trying to fosterthe idea that everyonenerds out about some-thing,” Lamson said.“Anyone can be a nerd.”
The club members’main goal, Lamson said,is to spread the wordabout Illuminerdy oncampus, as well as hostmore programs.
“Since we aren’t offi-cial yet, the membershave to bring in their own
money to do stuff, soeverything we do is on avery small scale,” Lamsonsaid.
Matt LeFevre, a seniorEnglish and philosophy
major, said his role as thevice president, or “vicedungeon master,” is tohelp run the meetingsand help spread aware-ness about Illuminerdy tostudents.
“We want this club tobe a democracy,” LeFavresaid. “We want everyvoice to be heard.”
Illuminerdy has beenmeeting for two months,and LeFevre said he hasalready met a lot of peo-ple and made friends.
“Being a part ofIlluminerdy gives meaccess to learn newthings,” LeFevre said.“There are places andconventions I want to goto with some of the peo-ple I have just met andnow want to be with allthe time.”
According to UNC’sstudent club and organi-zation chartering process,the potential studentorganization must submita constitution and a com-pleted chartering packetby the third Friday of thesemester.
Lamson said they didnot meet the deadline buthave completed the nec-essary requirements toapply next semester.
He also said he hadbeen playing the cardgame “Magic: TheGathering” for awhile anddecided it would be a goodidea to get people togetherone evening in Turner Hallto learn how to play.
“I asked the communi-ty council of Turner forfunding to buy decks forthe game, and there was areally good turn out. Weall had a good time,”Lamson said.
Lamson said the goodturn out at the eventsparked the thought tostart a club for nerds, buthis little brother inspiredhim to actually begin toestablish Illuminerdy.
“My brother is a super-nerd, and my inspirationto embrace my nerdi-
ness,” Lamson said. “Hejokingly asked me, ‘Whydon’t you start a nerdclub?’ So I put somethought into it and talkedwith my close friends, andwe got excited about it,and here we are.”
Illuminerdy meets at 8p.m. Sundays in the firstfloor lobby of Turner Hall.
The club is open to allUNC students.

Greek Life students willkick off the annual GreekWeek this week, Monday-Thursday. The week is filledwith competitions and cel-ebrations of the fraternallifestyle.
“Greek Week is an annu-al tradition, similar tohomecoming, offering phil-anthropic and spirit eventsfor Greek chapters to com-pete in and see who iscrowned the Greek Weekchampion,” said HeatherJames, the coordinator ofGreek Life. “Every GreekWeek, like homecoming,has a theme, as well. Thisyear’s theme is ‘GreekOlympics: Gods vs.Goddesses,’ and is in thespirit of the ancientGreeks.”
Greek Week events areall voluntary, but most fra-ternities and sororities par-ticipate. Each participatingfraternity is randomlymatched with a sorority,and the organizations com-pete in teams.
“All of the Panhellenicsororities and IFC fraterni-ties will be participating, aswell as the multiculturalfraternities and sororitieson campus. Everyone reallygets involved,” saidMeaghan Todd, the presi-dent of Delta Zeta Sorority.
Greek Week is not only atradition for the Greek sys-tem but also for theUniversity of NorthernColorado.
“Greek Life has been atradition at UNC since 1915,but we do not have recordof the first Greek Week,”James said. “However,
Greek Week has been acommon tradition on manycampuses for severalyears.”
Greek Life will beginthe week by hosting twoscreenings of theInvisible Children film,“Tony,” at 7 p.m. Mondayin the University CenterBallrooms.
The opening cere-monies and flag contest willbegin at 4 p.m. Tuesday atthe Garden Theater on cen-tral campus. The Greekswill then host a Greekmythology trivia game at 6p.m. Tuesday in McKeeHall.
A lip-syncing contestwill be hosted at 4 p.m.Wednesday in the UCBallrooms.
The fraternities andsororities will meet at 1p.m. Thursday on TurnerGreen for an Omega picnic.Following the picnic, the
teams will compete in theGreek Olympic Games at 4p.m. in Gray Hall Gym.
Although the events areexclusive to Greek Life mem-bers, James said the eventsshowcase fun and enjoyableactivities that could makestudents want to join in onthe fun next semester.
“While Greek Week isn’tnecessarily a ‘recruitment’event, it is definitely a wayfor non-members to observethe fun and meaningfulactivities Greeks participatein,” James said. “All eventsare highly visible on campus.Research has shown that themore students are involved,the more successful they willbe in their college experi-ence. Greek Life is one of thebest ways for students to getinvolved and connect withUNC. It offers opportunitiesfor academic success, lead-ership, personal growth,service and friendship.”
Todd said Greek Week isnot only a good way to getmore students involvedwith Greek Life but also togain more fulfillment out ofthe college experience.
“Greek Week is a goodway to get more membersbecause everyone on cam-pus gets the opportunity tosee us having fun and hang-ing out together,” she said.
Todd also said GreekLife is a great way to gain afamily on campus.
“I love my sisters morethan anything, and by join-ing a sorority, I have foundmy best friends who will bethere for me no matterwhat,” she said. “Not onlydo I have my house tocount on, but I have gainedgreat friends in other Greekorganizations that I wouldnever have met had it notbeen for Greek Life givingme the opportunity to getso involved on campus.”

Baseball drops series to ThunderbirdsPARKER COTTON
The UNC baseball teamcould not carry over its suc-cess at the plate Friday as itdropped its Saturday dou-bleheader to Southern Utahat Jackson Field.
The University ofNorthern Colorado (2-15)had six hits in the first gameof the doubleheader, a 6-3loss, but never had morethan one hit in the sameinning until the ninth, a farcry from Friday’s gamewhen the Bears had at leastone hit in each frame.
“We generated offense(Friday),” UNC head coachCarl Iwasaki said. “Theythrew a rookie at us in gameone — (Chris) Chung — astate of Hawaii pitcher of theyear. He’s an unknown kid.He’s gonna be known by thetime he finishes his college
career. He shut us down.”Chung went eight
innings, allowing five hitsand one walk in the firstgame Saturday. UNC seniorright-handed pitcher JoeSawicki also went eightinnings, but he also allowedfive runs on nine hits.
UNC trailed 6-1 goinginto the bottom of the ninth,but senior second basemanT.J. Berge led off with a tripleand scored after junior thirdbaseman Tony Crudo sin-gled to left. After anotherrun scored, UNC had thebases loaded with two outsbefore a fly out ended thegame.
UNC was held to fourhits in the second game, allcoming in different innings,culminating in a 3-2 loss.
Junior first basemanCasey Coy had three of theteam’s hits, including an RBIdouble in the ninth, which
cut the SUU lead to 3-1. Coyadvanced to third on apassed ball and scored on aBerge groundout. A strike-out from sophomore catch-er Harrison Lambert endedthe game.
“I thought we were a lit-tle more aggressive yester-day than we were today,”Berge said of the Friday winand Saturday’s losses. “Wewere waiting for the game tocome to us a little bit ratherthan going after it.”
In the Friday game, UNCstruck for eight runs in thefirst three innings en routeto a 10-3 victory.
Berge went 4-for-5 inthe game including threedoubles, giving him 40 inhis career, which puts himfourth on the school’s all-time list past ChrisKnabenshue (1983-85)with 39, Terry Davis (1995-98) and his father Jordan
Berge (1980-83) with 38.“I saw the ball really
well,” Berge said. “Theykept trying different things.I was able to hit it to differ-ent parts of the field. I feltgood up there.”
Berge also said he wasunaware of the record hisfather previously held.
“I actually had no ideaabout it until he made megive him a ball and sign it,”Berge said. “He was a greatplayer here, and anytimeI’m on the list with him, it’s agreat feeling.”
The Bears now have roadgames against Kansas State,New Mexico State and AirForce before the start ofGreat West Conference play.UNC faces Kansas State at5:30 p.m. Tuesday inManhattan, Kansas.
“It’s very important (weplay well),” Coy said. “Wegotta get some confidence
going into league and getour bats going a little bit.”
Iwasaki said theupcoming schedule won’tbe very easy, but he saidhe believes his team is up
to the challenge.“If there’s a challenge,
we’ve got it ahead of us,”Iwasaki said. “But we’renot afraid of challengeshere.”

Softball splits doubleheader with rival Colorado StateSAMANTHA FOX
The UNC softball teamsplit a doubleheader againstin-state rival CSU Saturdayat Butler-Hancock SoftballField in the season home-opener.
The University ofNorthern Colorado (3-23)won the first game, 7-5, andColorado State (7-27) wonthe second game, 9-5.
“We expected to get two,but one’s better than noth-ing,” senior pitcher KelliHenderson said.
Henderson allowed
seven hits in seveninnings for the Bears inthe first game, and shealso had 10 strikeouts.
CSU started the firstgame with a two-run home-run, and the Bears respond-ed with two runs of theirown in the first inning.
Junior catcher ErinWilkinson singled to center,making it to second on anerror, which allowed tworuns to score.
“I absolutely love playingCSU — it’s a rival; it gets mepumped up,” junior center-fielder Erin Geddis said. “Iknow my job as the leadoff is
to (get on base) for the teamand set the tone.”
With the score tied at 3,the Bears had a four-run rallyin the bottom of the sixth.Freshman Megan Wilkinson,who played first base in thefirst game and pitched in thesecond game, started theinning with a double to leftfield. Senior shortstopMegan Hamilton’s sacrificebunt allowed Wilkinson toscore, giving the Bears thefirst lead of the game. TheBears went on to score threemore runs, assisted by twoCSU errors, and the Ramsnever recovered.
The Bears struggled inthe second game, as they left12 runners on base.
“I’m disappointed; Iwould have liked to havewon both,” said headcoach Mark Montgomery.“I felt like we played avery emotionally-chargedgame in the first game,and we came out on top,and I felt good about that.In the second game, westarted off a little slow.We let them score early,and we were playingcatch-up the rest of thegame.”
In the second game,
Megan Wilkinson startedpitching for the Bears andallowed three runs on threehits before being relieved bysenior Jamie Juelfs.
UNC did not get on thescoreboard until down 7-0going into the bottom ofthe third, when Hendersonhit an RBI double.Henderson later scored ona hit by Juelfs.
CSU scored twice morein the game, once in the fifthand again in the seventh.
The Bears answered withtwo runs in the fifth and onein the seventh, but that wasas close as they got.
“One of our goals hasbeen to try and eliminatethe big inning, and I feel welet them have a couple of biginnings,” Montgomery said.“The ones and the zeros, I’mfine with that. We’re playinggood defense. It’s when welet them score three, we gotto find a way to limit that sothey don’t get those runs.”
The Bears’ next homegame will be Thursday, April5 in a doubleheader againstAdams State, the first gamecoming at 5 p.m. and thesecond game starting at 7:30p.m. at Butler-HancockSoftball Field.
The calendar may onlyread March, but the UNCfootball team is preparinglike it’s already September.
First-year head coachEarnest Collins Jr. takesover a team that finishedwith two wins in Big Skyplay a season ago.Although that was a firstfor the University ofNorthern Colorado, it is a
mark the coaching staffsaid can be improvedupon.
New offensive coordi-nator Zach Shay said thecoaches preach the samemessage the team fol-lowed last year: “Winevery day.”
“We’re just trying towin every day — get betterevery day,” Shay said.“We’re in spring ball, andI’m sure we’ll reevaluatewhere we’re at after springfootball.”
One of the major story-lines coming out of springcamp is the ineligibility ofjunior-to-be wide receiv-er Jace Davis, who had abreakout 2010 campaignculminating in a FirstTeam All-Big Sky selec-tion. Davis, who wasdeclared academicallyineligible for all of theteam’s practices duringthe 2011 spring semester,should be back for thestart of fall practice inAugust, but Collins said
when Davis returns isultimately up to him.
“Jace is in control ofthat,” Collins said. “Jacetakes care of business andgets his grades right andgets back in the fall.”
As for the learningcurve that comes with anew coaching staff, Collinssaid that is also up toDavis.
“He’s definitely goingto be behind,” Collins said.“It’s going be up to himhow fast he can grasp it.”
Although Davis’ ineligi-bility is a major factor, thetransition of head coachesis another; one that juniorwide receiver PatrickWalker said is goingsmoothly.
“We’re going to missthose coaches we hadbefore, but I guess it’s justtime to move on,” Walkersaid. “They’re greatcoaches; they’re easy totalk to, and they’re goingto love you up but at thesame time coach you
hard, too.”Practice will continue
throughout the rest ofMarch and April. Thespring game will be at 1p.m. April 16 atNottingham Field.
Junior quarterbackDylan Orms said the teamhas seen the recent successother UNC sports pro-
grams have had, and thefootball team wants to getin on it, as well.
“Especially with whatwe’ve seen the basketballteams do, we want a tasteof that,” Orms said. “Wewant people to be excitedto come to our games,and we want to do UNCproud.”

Get the skinny on UNC’s music libraryCARMEN BRADY
Students of the Collegeof Performing and VisualArts at UNC use theSkinner Music Libraryevery day, but few knowthe history of the man forwhom it is named after.
