Deciding on a major in college ends up being one of the most important choices in life. One’s major does not only dictate a per-son’s career, it also dictates how much money a person will make on an average basis. For students such as Aalyah Austin, a UNC freshman studying international affairs with an emphasis in Middle East and Africa, the major that seems to be most likely to yield a big paycheck is biomedical sciences. More specifically, Austin said those who focus on this major and graduate to become doctors, dentists and veterinarians are, in her mind, the students who get to take home the biggest paycheck out of college. According to Payscale, a website that compiles data from 40 million individual salary profiles, Austin’s guess is a reality. The site conducts an annual college salary report to determine the majors that result in the biggest paycheck, and in the 2014-2015 analysis, the site lists education as one of the lowest paying starting salaries. The report claims early childhood education has a starting sal-ary of $29,700 and a mid-career salary of $38,000 dollars. The site also places child development as the lowest paid major, re-cording an early career salary of $32,000 and a mid-career salary of $36,400.
“Teachers don’t really get paid a lot unless you teach for a long time or you’re a professor,” said Bre’Aja Patterson, a freshman studying business administration with a minor in accounting. As far as careers with the highest paying starting salaries are concerned, Payscale states that petroleum engineering has an ear-ly career salary of $102,300 and a mid-career salary of $176,300. Forbes also cited petroleum engineering as the best-paying major, stating those who graduate with a degree in this field earn about $3.4 million more in their lifetimes than those who gradu-ate with degrees in fields such as studio work or social work. Actuarial mathematics and nuclear engineering places second and third place on Payscale’s report, with an early career salary between $60,800 and $67,000 dollars. Following several engineering gigs comes physics at 11th place, with an early career salary of $57,200. In addition, some other majors with high-paying checks in-clude philosophy, marketing and occupational health and safety. Philosophy and marketing rest at $40,700 and $43,000 dollars, while occupational health and safety is placed at 57th with an early career salary of $51,600. Creative and artistic careers such as fashion design tend to have an early career salary of $41,100 and a mid-career salary of $79,500. Areas of academic interest such as English literature and American studies tend to receive starting salaries of $40,600 and $42,400, while journalism receives $39,000.

UNC students discuss new logo
By Cortez Tafoya [email protected]
The 2015-16 school year, like every year, is new and different. There are new people, different opportunities and classes. This year, the school even has a new Bear logo, and it has gathered the atten-tion of many students. Walking through the campus, it’s easy to spot the new bear logo accom-
panied with a new “UNC” letter design. The preference regarding the old logo over the new logo appears to vary among UNC students. “I like the old logo because it’s a more fierce bear, and it represents the college better,” said Deedee Holcomb, a sopho-more audiology major. Rachel Lachelt, a sophomore theatre design and technology major, also said she prefers the old logo because of the fierceness and aesthetics. A Facebook page called “UNC Bring Back the Bear” was created in May ad-
vocating for the old bear logo. Over the summer, the Facebook page was active with students commenting about the new and old logos. The Facebook page posted the link to a petition to bring back the old logo, which received 550 signatures to date. “I find the new logo bland and very flat,” said Marie Pipinich, a sophomore theatre design and technology major. “ It doesn’t represent much of anything. I think it changes the way new stu-dents see the logo and how our school is represented.”
Although there is a lot of negativity surrounding the new logo, not all stu-dents contribute to it. “They’re equal to me,” said Brittney Karl, a junior molecular biology major, when comparing the new logos. “I don’t really prefer one over the other.” People also are commenting on so-cial media, expressing their acceptance of the new logo. Regardless, the new logo is here to stay, and no further changes are being made concerning the old one.
Left: In the “UNC Brand Identity Style Guide,” the permitted uses of the new logo are outlined in a 30-page document. This document includes color palettes to be used with the customized UNC Bear gold color and the UNC Bear blue. Ten examples shown in the “UNC Logo System: Unacceptable Uses” section demonstrates various rearrangments and distorions of the logo not allowed. Right: The section titled “Logo Phase Out” gives examples of prior logos, then asks to no longer use these logos in the attempt to implement the new logo.

With football season draw-ing near comes the subsequent end of the starting quarter-back race. Now that last year’s starter Sean Rubalcaba is gone, the race has narrowed down to four men, all of whom said they are enthusiastic about the open competition. “All of us were extremely excited because all every quar-terback wants is the chance to play at the college level,” said Jacob Knipp, a redshirt fresh-man and one of the four start-ing quarterback contenders. “It has been really fun for all of us to compete against each other. We’ve all gotten better because of that.” Knipp, who was a redshirt for the University of Northern Colorado last season, is the youngest of the players but said he believes he has what it takes to uphold the starting posi-tion and boost the program to higher levels. “That’s why I came here,” Knipp said. “I want to lead the UNC Bears. I think we have the squad to make this pro-
gram go in the upswing, and I think we’re headed in the right direction. I would love nothing more than to lead the way.” Returning Northern Colo-rado senior Jonathan Newsom, who finished 54-93-2 with 617 yards last year, also referred to the competition and pos-sible opportunity of being the starting quarterback as a good thing. “The competition brings the best out of everyone. You can’t complain about that,” Newsom said. “It’s been my dream since I got here, and all I want to do is go out there and do my best.” Newsom saw the most of Northern Colorado’s action out of the four competing quarterbacks, as he started in four games last season once Rubalcaba was hit with an injury. During his UNC debut against Montana, Newsom broke the record for the longest rush for a TD by a quarterback with 74 yards. By the end of the game, Newsom completed 198 passing yards and 72 yards on the ground. Newsome’s fellow senior quarterback runner-up Brock Bergland also saw a bit of Bears play before injuring his foot during the Houston
Baptist game. Berglund said he was also motivated by the open com-petition, but his mentality to-wards the game has remained the same. “Whatever the circumstanc-es are, I just go out there and compete every day, whether that’s in high school or now,” Berglund said. “That’s always been my mentality. I control what I can, which is me and my preparation, and I let the rest take care of itself.” Southern Mississippi Uni-versity transfer Kyle Sloter said he is taking advantage of the opportunity, after being somewhat looked over by the Golden Eagles. Sloter said he knew the starting position was going to be determined through an open competition but he chose not to draw back or reconsider. Instead, he headed full force into the QB competition. “That’s what any quarter-back wants, just a chance to compete for the starting job. You want to be able to say you won or lost it on your own and not have any bias or anything like that. I wanted to come here and compete for the job,” Sloter said. “It’s been my dream since I was a kid. I was close at
Southern Miss and hopefully if I can earn the job here that’ll be a dream of mine, just to be a starting college quarterback,” Sloter said. The obvious end goal of all four players is to be named the starting quarterback but, as Berglund said, the purpose of the competition in itself is much bigger for the players. “To perform at your highest level is really what the focus is
and to be able to do that in any circumstance is really what’s important,” Berglund said. “To be able to be a part of a group of guys like this and a team that’s close is a blessing and we’re thankful for it.” Students and fans alike will have to wait until the Bears take Western State Colorado University on Saturday Sept. 5th. to see who will be under center for UNC.
Bears battle for starting position
Bears split opening games of Colorado Cup
Schroeder’s second half strike leads to win against Air Force

The University of Northern Colorado women’s soc-cer team fell in their season opener against Colorado College on Thursday night in Colorado Springs, los-ing 1-0 but bouncing back with a 1-0 win over Air Force on Sunday. The Tigers continued their home streak against the Bears, having now won 13 straight games against UNC at home. Northern Colorado’s sophomore Brooke Braden re-turned to her hometown and led the Bears with three shots, although none made it on goal. Of the Bears’ 11
shots, only five were scoring opportunities. Colorado College came out firing in the second half, taking seven shots and getting four on net. Senior Kaitlin Ruff primarily kept UNC in the game, making a three of her four saves in the second half. Ruff was only beaten once by freshman Tiger Lau-ren Milliet in the 70th minute. The Bears would have one last burst of effort getting two additional shots in the final two minutes of the game; however, sophomore Tiger Louisa Mackenzie was there to keep Colorado College on top. The Bears continued their play in the annual Colo-rado Cup in Boulder against the Air Force Falcons. Another defensive battle ensued as both teams put on
the pressure early. Both teams managed six shots, with Northern Col-orado making better of their opportunities, getting four on net. After a scoreless first half, it was junior Sydney Schroeder who found the back of the net for the first UNC goal of the season in the 62nd minute. Air Force was only able to get one additional shot in the second half, giving sophomore Madeline Burdick the night off. Burdick only had to make two saves in her 2015-16 debut, claiming her first shutout of the season. After finishing the season 10-9-2, the Bears fell in a double-overtime loss to Idaho State in the Big Sky Conference tournament in the 2014-15 season. UNC will host its first home game of the year against Pittsburgh at 7 p.m. on Friday at Jackson Field.

UNC volleyball started the year on a positive note and didn’t hold back in the annual alumni game, sweeping the three matches 25-13, 25-16, and 25-22. The Bears beat the alumni during UNC’s annual “Bears Bash” weekend, created as a way to celebrate past players and allow cur-rent players to prepare for the upcoming season. The current team was able to overcome the alumni and was led by sophomore Kim Weissmann, who had nine kills, and sopho-more Alex Kloehn, who had four blocks. The Bears’ current roster wasn’t able to get any player into dou-ble digit kills, but five players were able to get at least five, with Weissmann leading the way. Students in attendance were able to see glimpses of what put Northern Colorado atop the Big Sky Conference last season. A well rounded team has UNC looking like a powerhouse of the Big Sky Conference. Currently ranked No. 4, the Bears were eliminated in the first
round of the NCAA tournament last year at the hands of the Uni-versity of Colorado- Boulder, 3-1. Head coach Lyndsey Oates noted the depth of the team and said players have made strides in development from top to bottom. UNC’s sophomore Timarie Nymeyer led Northern Colorado with a .667 hitting percentage in the Alumni game. She also had four kills. Northern Colorado also managed a .211 hitting percentage, compared to a .029 percentage for the alumni. Even with their depth, the Bears will rely on their strong defen-sive core made up of Megan Garcia, Makenna Meier and Audrey Landry. The trio provides a solid base for the Bears to win matches. Meier is one of the most versatile players on the Northern Col-orado roster, as she contributed 26 aces last season, the second highest on the 2014-15 championship team. She, alongside Landry, ranked fifth and third in digs last season. The Bears only had one question to answer following the 2013-14 season: Who could fill the shoes of Meredith Johnson? The position was filled by Garcia, who led the Bears to the
championship in 2014-15. Now a senior, Garcia will have the task of continuing to hold down the defense. Coming off a 22-11 record as well as a 12-4 record in the Big Sky, the Bears will look to improve as well as repeat as Big Sky Conference champions. The Bears have appeared in the NCAA tournament four times, including appearances in 2011, 2012 and 2014. The 2015 season will begin with a matchup between the Bears and the University of Central Florida at 10 a.m. on Friday in Flor-ida to kick off the UCF tournament. The Bears will next face Southern Illinois the following day, as well as Delaware the day after. The Bears will have their first home game against Western Michigan at 4 p.m. on Friday, September 4, at the Bank of Colo-rado Arena, when UNC competes in the Holiday Inn Orlando East UCF Area Invitational. Northern Colorado will compete in two invitationals, which include the UCF tournament and the Pistol’s Pete Showdown in Wyoming, before hosting the Northern Colorado Classic at the Bank of Colorado Arena. The Bears first Big Sky Conference matchup will be against Idaho on September 24th in Moscow, Idaho.
