CHARLIE HEBDO: SATIRE GONE WRONGBy Jacob Scott

Unless you have been hiding under a rock this new year, you know at least a little bit about the terrorist attacks in Paris this past week. Th e city as well as the country has been thrown into a violent spiral aft er 12 people were killed outside of the Charlie Hebdo offi ces, alongside four hostages in a nearby kosher supermarket. All of the violence started because the magazine Charlie Hebdo, a weekly satirical

publication, repeatedly published cartoons of the Islam prophet Muhammad. Al Qaida has come out claiming they directed the attack on the carefully chosen targets of Charlie Hebdo journalists as “re-venge for the honor” of Muhammad. Th is revenge had some forewarning in mes-sages from the late al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden in the form of a warning against “the consequences of the persistence in the blasphemy against Muslim sanctities.” Now the French Prime Minister has declared “war” on radical Islam. In support of the victims who died,

thousands of French citizens are marching to Paris to show their respect. France is uniting together very much in the way that America did aft er the events of 9/11. As France unites, they will have to face many questions regarding their government and their secular views of diff erent religions. Some are saying that the images shown in Charlie Hebdo were okay to be shown because of the freedom of speech and freedom of the press. Which technically is true. But just because you can publish something doesn’t mean you should publish it. I would imagine that the staff at Charlie Hebdo knew these images were very controversial and would do well stirring up conversation, which is what these types of publications should do. Print media may not always dive into the hard news issues because they may be boring to read. Hard news stories over controversial topics are good, but when it comes to re-ligion, no matter the religion, I would use always recommend using caution. Satirical images over religious fi gures and ideas can obviously have consequenc-es, as we have seen in Paris. And the repeated uses of the images can bring up questions about the staff that agreed to publish these images. How many images does it take to create backlash? How many images are too many before becoming too off ensive? Being a journalist in America, it is hard to imagine that a magazine could publish these images stateside. If these cartoons were published in the states, groups would be up in arms the mo-

ment they were seen. Th ey would blow up the internet, tele-vision stations and newspapers across the nation, as most controversial subjects do. I do not believe the artists were out to get Muslims in France and across the world with their depictions. Th ey simply wished to give a diff erent angle on diffi cult topics to create conversation and to make readers think. Honestly, every paper should challenge its readers to think outside of the box because that can help create solutions over certain issues. Even with controversial issues, the press has the right to give all angles on a story to the public and let them decide which they agree with. Sadly, not everybody will like what we publish, and that is what journalists worldwide must prepare for when releas-ing controversial images and stories.

Science experiments, the Civil War and writing in cursive are some of the typical lessons taught in a sixth grade classrooms. These lessons weren’t enough for Oklahoma teacher Melissa Bour, who took her teaching to a whole new level when she demon-strated to her students and, subse-quently, the world how powerful and dangerous social media can be. Bour posted a letter to the social media site Facebook which explained the dangers of posting too much information and less-than-appropriate photos on social media networks. In an interview with The Today Show, Bour said the inspiration that sparked the post came as she was browsing her Facebook. “I definitely think that people need to be careful about what they post,” said Jessica Moser, a senior elementary education major. “I’m really cautious about what I post, but I don’t post that much any-ways. I see inappropriate stuff a lot. I just kind of skim over it.” Moser said she agrees with Bour’s opinion of discretion when using social media networks. “I noticed more pictures were showing up that were inappropri-ate, so I used a teachable moment,” Bour said. “I got out a piece of computer paper and a green pen and I wrote a little note.” The message, which was written in capital letters in all green writing and on a blue notebook paper, was shared in 33 different states and four countries within eight hours. Today, it’s been shared in all

50 states and dozens of other countries, including Saudi Arabia, Australia and England. The viral letter taught sixth graders their posts can follow them and potentially jeopardize how others may perceive them and pos-sibility injure their reputation. The possibility of social media’s hinderance to employment is a reality many college students fear. Preston Adams, a junior music business major, understands the possible consequences a faulty post can have on his career.   “I don’t know who is going to see me on my Facebook,” Adams said. “I don’t want anybody who’s going to possibly hire me to do a

role or performance or a job to see something on my Facebook that’s less than a good representation of myself.” Bour said when she initially shared the post on her Facebook page, she hoped it would reach some family members on the west coast, at the very most. To her surprise, the post went much further. As a result, many of Bour’s students deleted their Facebook pages while others have deleted some old posts. Adams said it is important to be cautious when on the internet and to censor one’s self when using social media websites. “That means no photos with

alcohol, no half-naked photos, no weed photos,” Adams said. “No statuses with cuss words. None of that.” Though the students on the University of Northern Colorado’s campus are much older than the sixth graders who witnessed the lesson firsthand, understanding the dangers that can come from post-ing too much on Facebook, Insta-gram and other social networks is just as important to these students, if not more so. Getting a job after graduation is usually more important than tweeting a picture of a blunt for favorites.

DANGERS OF SOCIAL MEDIA REALIZED

MARIJUANA USE NEGATIVELY IMPACTS SAFE DRIVING.

STUDENTS AGREE THAT

By Chelsea [email protected]

Most students expect to experience and learn many new things while attending college, but most do not expect to learn physical defense techniques. But UNC happens to provide lessons on self-defense. Th e university’s police depart-ment off ers diff erent programs to the community that teach individuals basic self-defense. Th e department conducts two- to four-hour seminars of ba-sic self-defense for UNC groups, such as sororities and campus housing, upon request. Lessons provided by the police department use some of the same training the police participate in, like pressure point control tactics,

but are modifi ed for civilians. Individual introductory class-es are not going to make some-one an expert in self-defense, but these classes do provide partici-pants with safety tips, awareness and the knowledge of how to separate from an aggressive situ-ation, said Dennis Pumphrey, the university’s chief of police. Pumphrey has had signifi cant formal training in self-defense and used to assemble the self-defense courses. “We speak a little more from experience because we see it on the streets much more than any-one else does,” Pumphrey said. “We’re the ones who respond to all those cases.” While police training prepares offi cers with the knowledge of how to control an assailant, the courses are altered to educate the

public on how to disengage. “Th e diff erence is that you don’t reengage to get control of the person; You’re going to continue to disengage to get out of the environment,” Pumphrey said. If an individual expresses in-terest in self-defense, Pumphrey said they may want to look into a more extensive course. Interactive courses will im-prove skill sets signifi cantly and help illustrate limitations and the unusual aspect of physical contact, Pumphrey said. Collaborating with individuals of varying body types showcases the diff erent levels of resistance and diffi culties dependent on an individual’s general build, Pum-phrey explained. Th e single seminar the police department provides serves as an

introductory to self-defense and focuses on the legal rights and responsibilities that are involved in defense. “Th e law will let you go very, very far in defending yourself, obviously, to the point of causing the death of another individual, if it’s justifi able that you were in just as much risk or signifi cance risk,” Pumphrey said. One of the biggest diff erences between private courses and the course the police department hosts is a clarifi cation of what is considered legal action and what actions would cross that line. “We have some time built into those classes where if people want to take us off onto a path that’s a little bit diff erent, that you wouldn’t necessarily talk about in a basic self-defense course, we’re willing to talk about those

things,” Pumphrey said. He said answered questions and additional knowledge may be more useful than the physical aspect of self-defense. “It’s part of what our mission is: to educate people about crime prevention and safety,” Pumphrey said. “If there’s a need and people are interested, we’d be more than happy to do it.” Th ere is no charge for the lessons, and seminars can be requested by groups, either by phone or email inquiry. For more information, indi-viduals can get in contact with Training and Crime Prevention Offi cer Larry Raimer at [email protected], Chief Dennis Pumphrey at [email protected] or by calling the UNCO police department at 970-351-2245.

As the new semester rallies in, UNC students are slowly bringing Greeley back to life and preparing for their new busy schedules. For a majority, this means get-ting used to being up before 1 p.m. and surviving mainly off coff ee. Th e Mirror has put together a list of the top fi ve apps every University of Northern Colorado student needs to help get into the grind of things for the upcoming year and new semester.

Spotify Th is music app allows students to fi ll the time between walking from Candelaria to Ross with their favorite jams to get pumped for that last class. Spotify has two settings: free and premium. On the free version, students have complete control to listen to whatever they may like on devices like their computers.

Th e exception is they cannot play whatever artist they choose on their cellphones, and they only have the option to listen to music in shuffl e mode. Th e $5 premium version allows students to have a free range of music on any device, including their cellphones.

WellsFargo (or any banking app, really) Some weekends, swiping a credit card becomes just as important as breathing for a college student. To prevent being the cliche broke college student, use this app to keep an eye on spent money. Having a banking app on a cellphone allows students to keep up with their balances and charges, so rent money doesn’t become too much of a worry or hassle aft er a crazy weekend of bar-hopping.

Merriam-Webster Dictionary While sometimes it is easier to just look over and dis-regard the gargantuan words in assigned readings, those are usually the words professors expect students to know. Don’t be a deer caught in the headlights when this mo-

ment inevitably happens. Instead, be the fi rst student to raise your hand, because the defi nition is literally right in the palm of your hand.

OWA (Email) As a college student, one quickly learns that the only way to truly be in the now is to constantly check email. BearMail is the portal to all the happening events on campus, including sports games, volunteering opportuni-ties and cancelled classes. Downtime Apps Common apps in this category usually consist of Yik Yak, Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook or, for all you hard-core gamers, Candy Crush Saga. Th ese apps aren’t always used for the intended down-time purpose, but keeping them off the fi rst page of your iPhone might create less of a distraction.

All apps listed above are free on iOS and Android devices.

MEN’S BASKETBALL ROLLS WITH THREE CONFERENCE WINS

By Danielle [email protected]

The UNC men’s basketball team upheld a three-game Big Sky win-ning streak last Monday night with an 84-73 win over the undefeated Sacramento State Hornets. After a neck-and-neck first half, the Bears began to outshoot the Hornets, and pulled ahead in the second half. The stadium stayed tense as Sacramento (9-6, 3-1 Big Sky) kept the scoring gap within 10 points, but stellar defensive plays and shooting an 81 percent in the half gave the Bears enough momentum to earn the win. UNC is now at 8-7 for the season, 3-1 Big Sky. “Our goals stay the same in every play, and they came in and shot it well,” Bears head coach B.J. Hill said. “Fortunately for us, we shot well enough to keep it within striking distance in the first half.” Hill said there was weakness in the Bears’ defense and rebounds in the first half, but the team’s depth worked to its advantage as the Bears managed to keep their pace while the Hornets tapered off. UNC was down by only six points at the half. Leading the team in scoring was senior guard Tevin Svihovec, who put up 20 of his 26 points in the second half. “As a team right now, our main focus is ‘me vs. we,’” Svihovec said. “I might be the one out there mak-ing plays, but it’s literally all the guys on the bench, all the guys on the floor, we’re coming together.

We have a goal in mind, and there might be a few guys here and there that step up and voice a little more and have a little bit more control on the team, but it’s a whole team effort this past week or so.” Svihovec also said smart pass-ing and “taking care of the ball” helped the Bears extend their lead and keep a steady offensive pace. About halfway through the half, five straight points by sophomore guard Jordan Wilson sparked an 11-point scoring lead for the Bears, and though the Hornets brought the score back to within three points with just minutes in the game, the Bears managed to stay ahead. Other offensive leaders for the Bears included sophomore Camer-on Michael with 12 points, Wilson with nine points and sophomore Anthony Johnson with nine points on three three-pointers. UNC finished the game with season-high field goal and three-point percentages, with 64 percent and 60 percent, respectively. After a steady 56 percent field goal percentage and 44 percent three-point percentage by the Hornets in the first half, strong defense by the Bears held them to only 33 percent in field goals and 25 percent in three-pointers in the second half. Senior forward Dominique Lee, who put up seven points for UNC, recorded 60 percent in field goals. He said the Bears focused on keeping pressure on the Hornets throughout the game. “For me, it’s just about going

hard every single possession,” Lee said. “Like coach always says, go hard every play, and if you get tired, he can take you out. But I go hard every single play, and it just elevates my game, and it kind of sets the mood for all the other players on the team. When that happens, we just come together as a team.” Hill said that better communi-cation has been a major improve-ment for the Bears over this three-game winning streak. He said the team has positive energy, both encouraging each oth-er and not being afraid to discuss problems in a constructive way. He said, if anything, the Bears have

been “too nice” to each other. “They’ve got to be close enough to play for each other, but they’ve also got to be grown-up enough to call each other out when they’re not doing their jobs, and that’s what we had trouble with earlier this season,” Hill said. He said the team is beginning to understand that addressing problems is beneficial to the suc-cess of the team as a whole. Hill said the real test will be instilling the team’s “me vs. we” mentality as they hit the road later this week. UNC will travel to Grand Forks, N.D. for its next game at 2 p.m. this Saturday at the University of North Dakota.

By Dylan [email protected]

The UNC women’s basketball team (8-7, 2-2 BSC) held off Portland State last Thursday but could not complete the comeback on Saturday as they fell to Sacramento State University. The Bears never trailed in the game against Portland State, as senior guard D’Shara Strange and senior center Stephanie Lee combined for 47 points to lead Northern Colorado to a 68-54 win. Portland State tied the game twice within the first three minutes, but could not contain the Bears’ offense as they started a 10-2 run with a steal by Strange that finished with a jumper by Lee. A back and forth game entered half time with the Bears riding a 30-25 advantage.

The second half was taken over by Lee, who went 10-13 from the field and hit one three-pointer to lead the Bears in scoring. UNC built a 16-point lead in the second half and never let Portland State back within eight points. On the defensive side, the Bears managed 14 turnovers, 10 steals and seven blocks while Portland State also did well with 12 turnovers, 10 steals and one block of their own. Northern Colorado finished the game shooting 45.8 percent in field goals while Portland State was held to 37.5 percent. The teams were nearly identical with free throws as UNC was 10-16, while PSU was 8-13. Strange and Lee continued their dominance into last Saturday’s match-up against Sacramento State. Sacramento State led the entire first half and entered the second half with a 41-31 advantage.

Northern Colorado rallied back during a four-minute, 19-2 run that tied the game at 55. The Bears also gained their first lead of the game as a steal by Strange led to a three-pointer. Sacramento State responded with their own run, gaining an eight-point advantage and forcing the Bears to respond again. As the minutes ticked away, so did Sacramento’s lead as Lee made a layup to claim the lead again with under three minutes left to play. Four straight missed three-point-ers allowed Sacramento State to take the lead for the last time and outlast Northern Colorado. The Bears field goal percent-age was 43.1 percent, and they were 6-for-7 on free throws. Northern Colorado will return home for a three-game home stand against North Dakota at 2 p.m. on Saturday at the Bank of Colorado Arena.

WRESTLING FALLS Staff Report

[email protected]

The Northern Colorado wrestling team fell by a wide margin to Boise State University in its first dual home meet last Friday. Though several of the Bears had very strong per-formances, they ultimately fell to the Broncos 32-15. Northern Colorado got on the board first in the heavyweight class as soph-omore Brian Macchione took the match over Boise’s Gabriel Gonzalez with a fall in the first period. The Bears then lost the lead to the Boise State as they took the following four matches.

The Broncos took three of the four with pins in the 125 lb, 133 lb and 144 lb weight classes over sopho-more Trey Andrews, red-shirt sophomore Abe Fox and senior Ben Polkowske. Senior Mitchell Polkowske gave UNC its second win in the 165lb class with a long three-period match that ended 6-3 in Polkowske’s favor. The Bears got their third and final win when junior Keith Johnson took on Boise’s Zach Coffman in a hard-fought match that saw the first period end 4-4. The wrestling team will next face off on the road at 7 p.m. Friday against North Dakota State University.
