The 9th Street Plaza came alive Friday night as Ely Corliss of The Crew Presents and the Greeley Downtown Development Author-ity teamed up to host the seventh annual Block Party.

“We’ve been putting togeth-er this Block Party as an an-nual event for seven years,” said Corliss, who owns The Crew Presents, the Moxi Theater, and Bandwagon Magazine “We do this because there isn’t much else

Page 3: The Mirror-September 9, 2013

Early in 2011, amidst the height of the Arab Spring, many of the citizens of Syria decided that they had put up with enough from their government and de-cided to do something about what they saw as an unjust system.

Since 1971 Hafez al-Assad had ruled Syria as the president of a nation where only one political SDUW\�ZDV�DOORZHG�WR�ÀHOG�FDQGL-GDWHV�IRU�SDUOLDPHQWDU\�RIÀFH��

The only vote one could cast regarding the nation’s president was on a referendum that asked whether or not you approved of him.

After the death of Hafez al-Assad in 2000, his son, Bashar al-Assad took power and initially many in the country hoped that a new, more progressive era might be able to begin. Fast forward 10 years later and little had changed in Syria, but changes were occur-ring elsewhere.

Libya was in a state of civil war, Egypt and Tunisia had ousted their former leaders from power and many Arab nations were changing their governmen-tal systems in order to appease their citizens.

Syria was right in the middle of this movement, which we now call the Arab Spring. What had started at the beginning of 2011 as relatively peaceful protests and subsequent governmental response quickly escalated to a full blown civil war by the end of July. Now, a little over two years

later, the war rages on.Accurate numbers are hard to

come by, but the few that have come out from creditable sources are fairly sobering for the na-tion that was estimated to have a population of 22.5 million before the war.

In June the U.N. estimated that there were 100,000 civil war-related fatalities. That’s 0.44 per-cent of Syria’s pre-war popula-tion, or in plainer terms, one dead person out of every 227 that was alive before hostilities began.

A Jan. U.N. report estimated that there were at least 2 million displaced refugees (nine percent or one in every eleven people in pre-war Syria) and close to the same number of people are dis-placed and still residing within the country.

A report from The Washington Institute for Near East Policy in March estimated that there are at least an additional 130,000 or more people who are either unac-counted for or are being held pris-oner (0.58 percent or one out of every 172 pre-war Syrians).

$OO� WRWDOHG�� RQH� LQ� HYHU\� ÀYH�people who lived in Syria before civil war broke out is now ei-ther dead, a refugee, homeless or missing.

Whether or not you feel that these statistics are enough to jus-tify foreign intervention is ulti-mately irrelevant to the purpose of this column.

The point is that most people

on campus probably knew about and had an opinion regarding Ben $IÁHFN·V� EHLQJ� FDVW� DV� WKH� QH[W�Batman before they’d even heard about the likelihood of the Syr-ian government using chemical weapons against its own citizens.

They might have known about it even before they were aware of the continued violent unrest in Egypt that re-erupted over the summer.

This is, to my mind, unaccept-able. Most of you reading this pa-per are either in or have been to college, institutions dedicated to the pursuit of learning and at their idealistic core, the betterment of mankind.

At the very least, we are all members of the human race and should be inclined to take notice when other members of our spe-cies are being so affected.

The 17th century poet John Donne in his poem titled “Medi-tation XVII” probably put it as well as anyone ever has:

No man is an island,Entire of itself,Every man is a piece of the continent,A part of the main.If a clod be washed away by the sea,Europe is the less.As well as if a promontory were.As well as if a manor of thy friend’sOr of thine own were:Any man’s death diminishes

me,Because I am involved in mankind,And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee. The problem as I see it now is

that we are not, as Donne put it, ‘involved in mankind.’

Perhaps we should think about that. Here we are in college, and we care more about a man being SDLG� WR� SUHWHQG� WR� EH� D� ÀFWLRQDO�character so that we can have about two hours’ worth of distrac-tion two to four years from now than we do about a real-world event that is tearing a country apart.

In his statement about Syria on Aug. 31, President Obama H[SUHVVHG�KLV�GHVLUH�WR�VHHN�FRQ-gressional approval before the U.S. military was to begin a strike against the regime.

+H� H[SODLQHG� KLV� GHVLUH� IRU�congressional approval in re-sponse to the Assad regime’s use of chemical weapons, stating, “I’ve long believed that our pow-er is rooted not just in our mili-WDU\�PLJKW��EXW�LQ�RXU�H[DPSOH�DV�a government of the people, by the people, and for the people.”

What does it say about our government’s capacity to act if the people don’t know what’s go-ing on in the countries in which we might intervene?

Welcome back stu-dents! And what a welcome it is.

Since you have been gone for the summer two new directional drill-ing projects have been approved by the Greeley City Council!

That’s right, soon ev-eryone in Greeley will have an un-obstructed

view to very beautiful tan oil storage tanks. That’s after the drill-ing and derricks do their job drilling and fracking 24/7 of course.

Takes away from hav-ing to try and focus on those pesky mountains in the distance.

And do we know what the president of

UNC (who happens to be married to the mayor of Greeley) says about Mineral Resources, the company responsible for the majority of this drill-ing?

They are “family,” “great friends to UNC,” “it’s personal with them.” That is probably why mineral leases for UNC

were signed without a competitive bid (http://e c o w a t c h . c o m / 2 0 1 3 /public-outrage-against-fracking-colorado/).

If this is not why you chose UNC think about joining a group that op-poses this activity, one group (Weld Air and Wa-ter – they are on Face-book) even meets a block

away from campus. UNC itself has the

Students for Environ-mental Action and other organizations.

I mean, once the drill-ing and seismic activity starts it will be hard to study anyway, right?

—Carl Erickson Greeley, CO

It may be a new school year, but Student Senate is wrestling old demons as a new delegation attempts to complete the process of re-construction.

5HFRQVWUXFWLRQ� ZDV� ÀUVW�p r o p o s e d two years ago as a means to make Stu-dent Sen-ate more e f f i c i e n t and more c a p a b l e of serving and representing the student body.

The student body ap-proved the reconstruction proposal via a student ref-erendum in the spring of 2012. Since the referendum, three senates have worked to implement the recon-struction, which includes a redrafting of bylaws along with an overhaul of cabinet positions.

“In discussing, asking students and oftentimes debating, we as a Student Senate within a committee open to all students created a structure taking all of the ‘old’ Student Senate’s re-sponsibilities and bylaws and condensing them into what will soon be three main committees (Student Affairs, Finance, and Aca-demic Affairs) headed by three Directors,” said Stu-dent Body President Oliver Bourne.

By consolidating the du-ties of senate into three com-partmentalized committees, members hope that it will be easier for students to in-teract with the senate while eliminating excessive pay and unnecessary positions. Although certain job ‘titles’ are being eliminated, re-sponsibilities are being reas-signed to different positions.

The Student Senate is currently composed of nine

positions including Presi-dent, Student Trustee, Direc-tor of Finance, Director of Legislative Affairs, Direc-tor of University Relations, Director of Student Affairs, Director of Student Clubs and Organizations, Director of Diverse Relations and Di-rector of Academic Affairs.

Restructuring was pro-posed due to the concern that there was an excessive number of seats on sen-ate and that some members were being paid to perform duties that could easily be absorbed by other positions.

The new senate structure consists of a Student body President, a Student Trustee, a Director of Finance and a Director of Student Af-fairs. Each representative will serve as a chairperson RI� VSHFLÀF� FRPPLWWHHV� WKDW�bring together student rep-resentatives from each of the university's six colleges. The President will serve as chair of the Academic Affairs Committee; the Student Trustee will chair the Organization Funding Board Subcommittee and the Student Leadership/Scholarship Award Com-mittee; the Director of Fi-nance will head the Finance Committee, the Information and Technology Funding Committee and the Student Fee Allocation Process Sub-committee; The Director of Student Affairs will chair the Student Affairs Commit-tee and the Bear Vote Initia-tive Committee.

According to chapter one section one of the new Stu-dent Senate bylaws, “The Student Body President, Student Trustee, Director of Finance, and Director of Student Affairs must keep and post a minimum of ��� RIÀFH� KRXUV� SHU� ZHHN��These hours shall be be-tween 8 a.m. and 6 p.m.. At least three days a week must be spent in the Student Cab-LQHW�RIÀFH�µ�

Documenting and main-WDLQLQJ� UHJXODU� RIÀFH� KRXUV�

will ensure that all senate PHPEHUV�DUH�DFWLYHO\�IXOÀOO-ing their duties, and justify-ing their compensation.

This semester, Student Senate will be working dili-gently to reach out to stu-dents and to inform them about the changes that will come with reconstruction, as well as the senate's goals for the future. Informational tables will be set up around campus periodically and events will be held on Oct. 30 and Nov. 13 to give stu-dents a chance to ask ques-tions and to be informed on all the issues and how they can get involved.

“Currently senate has nine members and in the 2014-2015 year we hope to have as many as 19 (three from each college and four directors). This alone will create an opportunity for stu-dents to get involved and be a leader within their college and impact the University as a whole,” said Bourne, “With more members from different academic areas, I feel Senate will be able to better represent all students when making decisions that affect the entire University.”

Anyone can get involved in Student Senate and affect the decision-making pro-cess at UNC, and the cur-rent senate would like to see more students applying and campaigning for positions within Senate.

“We will be conducting Student Educational meet-ings all around campus to spread the word about how anyone can run for the 2014-2015 Student Senate,” said Bourne. “We strive to be able to represent every student on campus, and if we cannot, we communi-cate and reach out to those people in any way we can. We encourage all students to voice their opinions and Student Senate will work hard to protect the voices of the sometimes underrepre-sented people on campus.”

The Take Back the Night planning committee will meet Wednesday from 10-11 a.m. at Scott-Wilcoxon Hall.

The planning committee offers students an opportu-nity to get involved with one of the university’s big-gest annual events.

Take Back the Night is an annual march and rally to unify and protest vio-

lence against people of all genders, ethnicities, and orientations and to promote awareness of the attitudes and behaviors that perpetu-ate this type of violence at UNC.

Take Back the Night is an international event that began in Belgium in 1986.

Take Back the Night is coordinated by the UNC Women’s Resource Center.

Last year’s event drew a crowd of nearly 500 people and featured Katie

Hinda, former kicker for the University of Colorado football team, as a guest speaker.

Interested students can contact Bernadette Cordo-va via email at [email protected] or by phone at (970)351-2941.

The planning commit-tee will meet Wednesday at 10 a.m. for the next three weeks.

Take Back the Night will be Oct. 3 from 6:30-8:30 p.m. at the Garden Theatre.

The Union Colony Civic Center celebrated 25 years this weekend with a gala Sunday night.

The UCCC represents a unique element in the cul-tural makeup of Greeley and has played a pivotal role in the city’s growth since it was built in 1988. Throughout its history, Greeley has been a haunt for thespians and artists, and it is hard to imagine the city without a thriving cul-tural center like the UCCC.

“This is the crown jewel of a jewel city,” said for-mer Greeley Mayor Robert 0DUNOH\�� ZKR� KHOG� RIÀFH�when the UCCC was com-pleted in 1988.

Current Mayor Tom Norton echoed Markley’s praise, saying, “This is the

only class-A performing arts facility in Northern Colorado.”

With 69,000 square feet in total space, a 1,700 seat concert hall, a 240 seat the-atre and a 1,000 square foot art gallery, the UCCC pro-vides the Greeley commu-nity and the University of Northern Colorado with a supreme venue for any cul-tural event or performance. The tight-knit relationship between the UCCC and UNC traces back to the center’s inception, which began with grassroots cam-paigns for erecting a civic center as early as 1966.

The original idea for building a performance venue in Greeley came from discussions between the university and the Gree-ley Philharmonic.

In 1973, a study was released recommending

an auditorium be built in Greeley; however, citizens voted down an initiative to build the auditorium the next year.

Citizens again voted down an initiative to build an auditorium in Greeley in 1979 after a proposal was made to build a $7.5 mil-lion cultural center on the campus of UNC.

In 1983, community members began a fundrais-ing effort to fund the build-ing of a cultural center, and the city government paid $360,000 for designs. After receiving $5 million in pri-vate contributions in 1985, local advocates were able to get a cultural center ini-tiative on the ballot in 1986.

With Greeley citizens wary of excessive spend-ing, the initiative was met with some resistance, and a second referendum was

even held to ensure build-ing the civic center was the majority preference. The initiative passed again, and construction began later that year.

Greeley’s school chil-dren were invited to submit their ideas in a contest to name the new civic center. Fifth grader Jenny Kreitler from Sawsheen Elemen-tary won with the submis-sion “Union Colony Civic Center,” an ode to the city’s early roots.

The UCCC regularly hosts performances by UNC faculty and students, creating a relationship that is dynamic and mutually EHQHÀFLDO�

“It has been a long and productive relationship,” said UNC President Kay Norton, “(The UCCC) would not have been need-ed if not for UNC.”

Many of the original ad-vocates for the UCCC were on hand for the celebra-tion Sunday. City of Gree-ley Festivals Coordinator Rhonda Welch recalled fondly the opening of the

center in September 1988 saying, “It was so exciting. We could hardly stand it. It literally became every-thing we had hoped for and had been waiting for for so long.”

Shortly after the end of the spring semester, the University of Northern Col-orado hired Dr. Leo Welch as the Dean of the College of Preforming and Visual Arts.

Welch started on Aug. 15 relieving Professor Ver-gie Amendola who served as interim dean after the de-parture of former dean An-drew Jay Svedlow. Amen-dola will retain her position as assistant dean.

Dr. Welch comes to UNC from Florida State University where he served for nine years as the Asso-ciate Dean of Community Engagement in FSU’s Col-lege of Music. Welch has worked in academia for over 20 years, and prior to his tenure at FSU, he was a

faculty member at Marshall University in Huntington, W.Va. From 1992-2003.

´7KH� FRQÀJXUDWLRQ� RI�the College of Fine Arts at Marshall University close-ly matches the design of the three Schools of Mu-sic, Theatre Arts and Dance and Art and Design here at UNC. I most recently served as an associate dean at the Florida State Uni-versity College of Music in Tallahassee, Florida. The College of Music at Florida State University and the College of Per-forming and Visual Arts here at UNC share the same reputation for arts excellence, and they also

have about the same stu-dent body size, which is 1,100,” said Welch in an online interview.

“I was immediately im-pressed by the obvious ded-ication and engagement of the search committee’s faculty, staff and adminis-trators concerning the best interests of the students of UNC,” said Welch.

,Q� KLV� ÀUVW� ZHHNV� DW�UNC, Welch had the op-portunity to tour the PVA school, observe classes and begin engaging with stu-dents and faculty.

Welch expressed admi-ration for the dedication

and engagement of the PVA college’s students and fac-ulty.

“I spent the last week touring the facilities within Theatre Arts and Dance, Art and Design and Music. It was really interesting to see so many students thorough-ly engaged in the creative learning process. If I have the time, I would love to come back to each of the classes that we visited to-wards the end of the semes-ter see how their work was progressing,” said Welch.

As an accomplished administrator and musi-cian, Welch offers the PVA school a leader who is both passionate for music and experienced in the arena of academic administration. In the coming year, Welch in-tends to continue to interact with students and faculty at the PVA school to culti-

vate a better understanding of the college and to deter-mine the direction he hopes to lead the school.

“I am learning quite a bit about the college’s cul-ture, and I hope to learn a lot more in this coming year as I continue to speak to faculty and student’s regarding the future di-rection of the college,” said Welch, “I have found that effective leadership at the dean level means galva-nizing the energy and focus within a college and creat-ing a collective vision that includes input from the fac-ulty, students and staff.”

Welch has the good for-tune of making a living do-ing what he loves, and al-though he is professionally trained in classical and jazz guitar, he enjoys all styles of guitar.

The artwork of former University of Northern Colorado Professor William “Bill” Cordiner is being featured in a new exhibit, which opened Wednesday at the Marianai-Gallery in Guggenheim Hall. The new exhibit was orga-nized by Joan Shannon-Miller, the director of the Mariani Gallery and the Oak Room Gallery in Crabbe Hall.

The exhibit featured several sculptures, collages, and PXOWLPHGLD�ZRUNV�FRYHULQJ�WKH�ZDOOV�DQG�ÁRRU�RI�WKH�0DU-iani Gallery. Guests noshed on food and drinks during the exhibit’s opening on Wednesday as they reviewed 40 years of Cordiner’s work.

Cordiner worked at UNC for 29 years from 1966-1995, teaching sculpture, collage and foundation art. He passed away October 1, 2012.

The exhibit will remain open until Cordiner’s birthday on Oct. 5.

The majority of Cordiner’s work is abstract because he liked to create his art from intuition and use of the senses.

“The pieces are your friends. They have a mind and soul of their own. His work is understood by the heart, not intellectually,” said Cordiner’s widow, Lynne Hemingway Cordiner, at the opening.

He explored several different majors in college before deciding upon sculpture. Despite his indecision, Cordiner always maintained a desire to create. His admiration for three-dimensional art originated in his childhood.

An art exhibit showing the works of current and for-mer UNC sculpture students held its opening reception on Wednesday in the Oak Room Gallery at Crabbe Hall.

Five students—Hee-hun Cho, R. Christoval Roma, Ryan Erickson, Cody Steiner, and Pete Niehoff— with twelve pieces between them were chosen by head sculp-ture professor Tom Stephens to participate. The artists were either recent graduates of the UNC sculpture pro-gram or current students. All of the featured artists have been a part of UNC’s art and design program and chosen sculpture as an area of concentration. The program re-quires students to submit art portfolios for initial accep-tance, followed by completing beginning and advanced sculpture classes.

The exhibited work was largely abstract multimedia, with the exception of one sculpture of a human head. Ryan Erickson submitted a sculpture titled “Ready Made 1,” which was composed of recycled and salvaged objects in-cluding a window from an abandoned church, metal from a scrap yard and some cast bronze that broke through a mold. Erickson showed some pieces in the UNC student H[KLELWLRQ�ODVW�\HDU��EXW�WKLV�ZDV�KLV�ÀUVW�WLPH�GLVSOD\LQJ�his work in the Oak Room, which he said “feels great.” “(I

am) glad people are coming to look,” said Erickson. Some of the other pieces on display included a wave-shaped metal frame covered with rice paper, and three paint cans mounted onto the wall, pouring into empty astronaut suits.

The Oak Room Gallery, with its wood-paneled walls and manageable size provided an intimate setting for the exhibit. Over 100 visitors stopped by over the course of the opening, including many art students. Lauren Jacob-sen and Naomi Butler were both encouraged by their art teachers to visit the exhibit.

The show opened alongside another art exhibit at UNC: “Frougewerk,” the art of Bill Cordiner, which held its opening reception Wednesday in Guggenheim Hall’s Mariani Gallery. Frougewerk showcases the work of for-mer art professor Bill Cordiner, the professor, who accord-ing to Tom Stephens, “really started the ball rolling” in the creation of a strong sculpture program.

After Frougewerk was chosen to be exhibited in the Mariani Gallery, “Joan (Shannon-Miller, the director of both the Oak Room and Mariani Galleries) asked me if I would like to have a sculpture show in the Oak Room Gallery to go with this show,” said Stephens.

Stephens was very pleased with his student’s work, saying that all the pieces were “very strong.”

“It’s nice to be able to continue the tradition of a strong sculpture program,” said Stephens.

As a small boy, Cordiner would create little toys, such as small boats, guns, and airplanes out of wood in his fa-ther’s shop. He would also create collages out of different types of paper and combine it with a water-based glue. During his extensive career as an artist, Cordiner amassed a portfolio of artwork that is diverse and unconventional.

Much of Cordiner’s art is asymmetrical and derives its appeal from its intricate details. The artwork featured in-corporates various materials such as wood, metal, rock, ceramics and paper. Some of the sculptures made use of scrap materials such as twine and rusted metal.

Cordiner’s unique sensibilities garnered a wide variety of reactions.

“I don’t understand abstract,” said senior photography and graphic design major Kira Gehle, “A lot of his artwork is above my comprehension, but there were a few pieces that were aesthetically pleasing.”

Senior art and design major Zach Britton offered a posi-tive review of Cordiner’s artwork: “I think it’s really great! He has a holistic vision. He’s great with the composition of his sculptures.”

Cordiner was remembered as an impactful professor during his time at the University of Northern Colorado —he was known as a teacher who inspired students to create what they feel, rather than what they see. Although current UNC students will never have the opportunity to take a course with the late Professor Cordiner, “Frougewerk” of-fers the opportunity to enjoy his work and to learn from his artistic example.

The Friends of the University of Northern Colorado Li-braries hosted the opening reception for a new art exhibit featuring the work of Enrique Alvarez Friday afternoon at the Mari Michener Gallery in the Michener Library.

Alvarez’s exhibit, titled “Naturalism,” featured a selec-tion of oil-based paintings.

Alvarez was born in Spain and moved to America later in life. He spent his career working as a medical doctor and SV\FKLDWULVW��$IWHU�UHWLUHPHQW��KH�ZDQWHG�WR�ÀQG�D�QHZ�SDV-sion that would keep him occupied, so he decided to start oil painting. Alvarez’s style for each painting changes de-pending on the state of his mood. He prefers to paint what he sees and only uses oil paint as his medium.

The gallery coordinator, Colette Pitcher explained that (QULTXH�$OYDUH]�ZDV�FKRVHQ� IRU� WKH�ÀUVW� VKRZLQJ�RI� WKH�semester due to his unique style, ideas and variety of paint-ings.

Alvarez’s exhibit runs from Aug. 26 to Sept. 22. Many of the featured paintings rely on different animals such as lions, zebras, elephants, rhinos, horses, birds and bulls as objects of attention.

Other paintings on display feature images of Native Americans and colorful landscapes.

After the initial remarks for the opening reception, Al-

varez gave a short speech about himself and shared advice with his guests, telling them to enjoy living, because life is short.

He let the audience know that they should do what they are passionate about in life, because it will bring them hap-piness. He reminded the guests to make lifelong friends and to be merry.

Alvarez’s speech was well-received by the audience, who were given an opportunity to comment and ask Al-varez questions. Greeley resident Araceli Calderon was particularly moved by Alverez’s words and work.

“Thank you. You are teaching me how to be brave,” said Calderon during the Q&A portion of the reception.

Many students stopped to admire the work on display while passing through the library.

“The landscapes are gorgeous,” said freshman second-ary education major Natalie Smith. “These paintings look very real.”

D’Adamio shuts out Air Force in home openerDaymeon [email protected]

A warm night provid-ed a textbook setting for UNC women’s soccer’s (2-3-0) home-opening win against Air Force (0-3-1). With the support of a relatively large crowd the University of Northern Colorado survived to hold on to a 1-0 victory Friday night at Jackson Stadium.

After the match Guetz talked about how being back home affected the team.

“It feels pretty great,” Guetz said. “We had a great crowd tonight, es-pecially with all the other sports teams out here to support us. It was a really good environment and very fun to play in.”

Despite various inju-ULHV� WR� 81&·V� PLGÀHOG�

and defensive backs, the Bears were still able to endure a late rally by the Falcons by virtue of a few key saves by senior goal-keeper Natalie D’Adamio in the second half.

“I just had to keep the team in the game,” said D’Adamio. “It was me trying to keep that shut-out, so I was just think-ing that I had to save ev-erything. A lot of people have muscle injuries and stuff like that but playing at home again gives us the chance to have people recover and take a break, so hopefully we’re back stronger with a lot more people.”

D’Adamio had six saves in the game.

UNC volleyball was busy last week, playing four matches in ÀYH� GD\V�� LQFOXGLQJ� WZR� RQ� 6DW-urday as part of the Bluejay In-vitational. Unfortunately for the University of Northern Colorado (2-3), though, the competition was stiff and the team went 1-3 over the week.

Looking to bounce back, Northern Col-orado headed to Omaha, Neb. for the Bluejay Classic host-HG�E\�QR�����&UHLJKWRQ��7KH�%OXH-jays (4-1) dominated throughout the match, holding the Bears to .036 hitting as they took all three sets, 25-12, 25-18 and 25-16. Se-

Saturday morning, Johnson matched her dig total from the night before, but that was the only saving grace for the University of Northern Colorado as Cal (5-0) defeated UNC 25-14, 25-16 and 25-16.

In the evening, however, the Bears found their stride against South Florida as they beat the Bulls (3-4) by set scores of 25-11, 17-25, 26-24 and 25-21. Several UNC players put up big stats in the match. Johnson and freshman setter Ashley Guth-

UNC selects new men’s golf coach

Labels are just that — labels; an easy way for SHRSOH�WR�GHÀQH�RWKHUV�DQG�subjects with which they are unfamiliar.

Head Coach Earnest Collins Jr. and the rest of the UNC football squad knew this, and now others need to recognize it. The University of Northern Colorado team may have lost to a labeled Division-II team, but Colorado State University-Pueblo is the sixth-ranked club in the di-vision.

“When you’re playing a top 10 team, I don’t care what level they are,” Col-lins said. “You’ve got to understand they’re going to come in here and play football. They’re going to come in and play football

the right way.”2,450 passing yards in

a season, not too shabby, right? That is last year’s season total for CSU-Pueb-lo junior transfer Chris Bonner, who threw for 267 yards against the Bears, which was well fewer than senior quarterback Seth Lo-bato’s 390 for the Bears.

I’m not saying the rea-son UNC lost was because the ThunderWolves were the better team — they’re not — but the loss came down to Bears mistakes, particularly two pick-sixes and weakness in the sec-ondary.

“They’re a good team,” Lobato said. “We had ev-erything that we wanted, we just killed ourselves and when we turn the ball over we give them opportunities and if we don’t capitalize on opportunities, obviously our game is going to come out like it did.”

While UNC should have won, it’s better to lose now to a non-conference team while it’s still early enough

to correct the problems. Teams will learn more in a loss than they will in a win; instead of focusing on er-rors in a victory, teams will see what they did correctly, and won’t focus enough on the wrong.

In 2011, Lindenwood came to UNC and no one seemed to expect the Bears to lose. Lindenwood was an NAIA team, after all. But that game taught a greater lesson than any other loss that year: never underesti-mate the opponent based on division.

While UNC is expected to have the upper hand, determination can equal-ize the opponent’s level of play. Determination to prove the team should not be overlooked over because of division and determina-tion to prove beating a big-ger opponent is possible. A greater number of scholar-ships allowed for smaller football programs doesn’t hurt either.

Years from now people won’t be looking back

saying how bad UNC was in 2013 because it lost to CSU-Pueblo. The season is only two games old with ten left. How teams react to surprise losses often deter-mines the rest of the season. Football is a game-to-game mentality and being able to move on and learn from the loss will mean more in the long run than if the team had won Saturday.

“Any game you lose is tough to swallow,” Collins said. “But you play an in-state school and you should have beat the school, yeah, it is tough to swallow. But it’s about what you do from here. Do you let this game beat you the next game and the next game and the next game, or do you use this to IXHO�WKH�ÀUH�DQG�XQGHUVWDQG�what you’ve got to do week in and week out to win football games.”

UNC has hired former Wyoming head coach Rog-er Prenzlow to be its new head golf coach. Prenzlow coached the Cowboys from 1982 to 2002 and now takes over for departed head coach Chuck Scheinost who left the program to coach at George Washing-ton.

Since leaving the Uni-versity of Wyoming in 2002, Prenzlow has been at the Old Baldy Golf Club in Saratoga, Wyo., eventually becoming the club’s direc-tor of golf.

Prenzlow does have his-tory in Colorado prior to

his time at Wyoming. He is a native of Boulder and golfed at Northeastern Ju-nior College in Sterling prior to transferring to New Mexico. He also was the as-sistant golf pro at Boulder Country Club from 1979 until his hiring at Wyoming in 1982.

completing 29 of 45 passes for 390 yards and three touchdowns to senior wide re-ceiver Jace Davis. But it was the other two touchdowns off Lobato passes that helped CSU-Pueblo (1-0) secure the win.

Lobato threw two picks, both returned for touchdowns, and he said the game’s result was directly correlated to key turnovers.

“When we turn the ball over and give them opportunities and we don’t capitalize on our opportunities, obviously the game’s going to come out like it did,” he said.

“I felt great but that doesn’t matter if we don’t win,” Davis said. “It’s all about the team. All I’m trying to do is help my team win. A loss is a loss for all of us. It doesn’t matter what I do. We lost the game.”

ThunderWolves running back Cameron McDondle scored a touchdown with six sec-onds left in the half to give Pueblo the lead heading into the break. UNC retook the lead by one in the second half on one of senior running back Tromaine Dennis’s two scores.

The next time UNC got the ball, another mistake gave the ThunderWolves the lead for good. CSU-Pueblo redshirt freshman de-

fensive back LaRon Tarkinton picked off a Lobato pass and took it to the house.

A late rally by the Bears fell short when a fourth-and-18 pass from Lobato to junior wide receiver Dimitri Stimphil skipped just before Stimphil could get his hands under it with 51 seconds remaining.

Head coach Earnest Collins Jr. said UNC lost due to big plays by the ThunderWolves.

“The bottom line from today is too many mistakes, just plain and simple, on both sides of the ball,” he said. “We gave up three explosion plays on defense for touchdowns. You can’t do that and expect to win. We gave up two pick-sixes for touchdowns. You can’t expect to do that and win.”

The Bears moved the ball offensively as they gained 497 total yards, but it wasn’t enough to overcome allowing two defen-sive touchdowns. Senior defensive back (PDQXHO�+DPLOWRQ�ÀQLVKHG�ZLWK�VL[�WDFNOHV��including a key stop on CSU-Pueblo’s last drive. He said after the game that the defen-sive line forced CSU-Pueblo to pass, which the ThunderWolves did effectively.

“They’re a well-balanced team,” Hamil-ton said. “Our guys up front did a great job and we made them pass the ball. I’ve got to give credit to the guys up front. We just had to execute more down towards the stretch.”

Collins said the loss is frustrating, but the team’s response to it is critical.

“Any game you lose is a tough one to swallow,” he said. “When you’re playing an in-state school and you should have beat the school, it is a tough one to swallow. But it’s about what you do from here. Do you let this game beat you the next game? Or do you let WKLV�IXHO�WKH�ÀUH�DQG�XQGHUVWDQG�ZKDW�\RX·YH�got to do week in and week out to win ball-games.”

stages. In addition to the outdoor venues, several bars and restaurants in the area had their own live music.

“The Moxi Theater, Grabo’s, the brand new Bear’s Country Saloon, the Kress, the Penalty Box, Patrick’s Pub are all host-ing some of the bands that we have here tonight,” said Corliss. “We also have advertisers that have helped support the event like Mike’s Hard Lemon-ade and Budweiser. The event doesn’t make money but I would guess that the event does generate some increased sales for the bars and restaurants where the Block Party is held.”

Bar owners agree that they get increased exposure when there are concerts QHDUE\�� 7KH� DGGHG� WUDIÀF�IURP� WKH� %ORFN� 3DUW\� GHÀ-nitely created more sales for the restaurants and bars that line Ninth Street.

´%ORFN�3DUW\�GD\�LV�GHÀ-nitely one of our busiest days,” said Kristin Ham-ling, a senior environmen-tal sustainability major and manager of the brand new Bear’s Country Saloon. “Having the Block Party and all of the added custom-

ers has pros and cons. The pros would be that there is a lot more customers and orders coming through. The cons would be that we have to bump up security. We def-initely have to be more on top of it. But it is well worth the hassle.”

While it’s not located downtown, the Wing Shack LQ� *DUGHQ� &LW\� EHQHÀWV�from the publicity that the Block Party provides.

“Our owner (Brian Sei-fried) is the mayor of Gar-den City so he volunteered us to participate in the Block Party,” said Conor Nehf, a cook for the Wing Shack. “He wants us to participate in as many events as pos-sible, which is awesome because we get free expo-sure and free advertising,” said Tori Kane, who works the front counter at Wing Shack. “We’ve been partici-pating in the Block Party for WKH� ODVW� ÀYH� \HDUV�� ,W� UHDOO\�just brings together the com-munity.”

Some businesses are hop-ing increased publicity from the Block Party will help overcome recent downturns. Grabo’s Restaurant is bank-ing on the increased revenue over the weekend.

“We need the money so we’re hoping more people

will come by downtown and help us increase our sales,” said Luis Ochoa, owner of Grabo’s Restaurant.

Despite all the stress that goes into throwing a party, the event went off without a hitch. There was palpable anticipation among the au-dience as the widespread expectation was that this Block Party would be supe-rior to those of years past.

“I have been to the Block Party three years in a row now, and I really love the new location,” said Sarah Armstrong, an associate at Assisted Living. “I’m also excited for all the bands that are performing. I really can’t wait for The Epilogues and Photo Atlas. I really don’t think that there is a draw-back to the Block Party. You can listen to great music and

people watch.” “The Block Party is the

only thing that seems to happen in Greeley,” said Josh Hudgin, guitarist of Sorry I Came. “We’ve been to the Block Party three or four times now. I was at WKH�YHU\�ÀUVW�EORFN�SDUW\�LQ�2007 with my other band. I think that more people from the college and people in the community need to support local bands. Most of them are from the Greeley area or are really close to it. People need to see more local bands instead of going to see mov-ies.”

“Everyone in the band wanted to play the Block Party ever since we were freshmen so this was a great opportunity for more people to see us and hear us play,” said Devon Hildeb-

randt, guitarist and singer of Silver and Gold. “We are very dance-y. We love see-ing people dancing in the crowd. We are kind of indie, kind of bluesy. We are play-ing a couple new tunes that we are very excited to play for you guys.

“The band got started around February this year.

We all just love making mu-sic and gave it a shot. We are made up of current and previous UNC students. All of us are music students.”

For those who missed the Block Party, many lo-cal bands will be playing at Friday Fest, which happens every Friday night on Ninth Street.
