The Dearfield DreamOral History Project isseeking volunteers to helppreserve the memories ofa forgotten ghost town 12miles east of Greeley onUS-34. It focuses on howa small town near Greeleyhelped blacks during atough time in history.
The project is run bynon-profit organizationthat seeks to preserve theblack historic town ofDearfield in Weld County.It takes a look at blackentrepreneurship in thetown and the black com-munity before the GreatDepression.
“The Dearfield DreamOral History Project islooking for volunteersfrom all overbecause thereare so manycassettes thatneed to be digi-tized,” saidShanice Clarke,a DearfieldDream OralProject coordi-nator. “Weneed help fig-uring out whichtapes are fromDearfield and which tapesaren’t so the ones that arefrom Dearfield can dis-played online.”
The various groups ded-icated to helping Dearfield
include Colorado StateUniversity; the City ofGreeley; the Center for
Honors, Scholarsand Leadership;and the BlackAmerican WestMuseum.
“Paul Stewart,the founder of theBlack AmericanWest Museum,found the tapesand has discov-ered that most ofthe stories fromDearfield are
about what happened thereduring times of slavery,”said Alexandra Denton, aDearfield Dream OralHistory Project coordinator.
Denton said there are
no prerequisites for beinga volunteer. The advice hegives to incoming volun-teers is to be patient.Even though the work
may be tedious, all of thevolunteers will learn a lotabout the history of blackculture .
“Everyone involved isthinking that the wholeprocess of getting the cas-settes to be completelydigitized and online willcontinue on for at leasttwo to three more years,”said Robert Brunswig, aUniversity of NorthernColorado professor ofanthropology and direc-tor of the UniversityCenter for EngagedResearch and CivicAction.
The Dearfield Projectbegan Feb. 18 and isreceiving help fromGeorge June, a UNC
Africana studies profes-sor, and the BlackAmerican West Museum,which wants to not onlypreserve culture but alsoresearch even further.The research is set to con-tinue for five more yearsthanks to the communityand student volunteers,Brunswig said.
“What the volunteersand everyone elseinvolved want to accom-plish with the DearfieldDream Oral HistoryProject is trying to pre-serve and save it for thepresent and the futuregenerations so mysteriesof Dearfield can beexplained,” Brunswigsaid.

After weeks of cam-paigning around the UNCcampus, 33 hours ofpolling at the UniversityCenter andhours of count-ing hundreds ofvotes, the pre-liminary resultsare in, and nextyear’s StudentSenate membershave beenannounced.
Several of theelection’s win-ners are current-ly serving inother positionson Senate, and some havesaid they look forward tostarting their new posi-tions in the fall.
Charlie Charbonneau,the currentdirector ofS t u d e n tO r g a n i z a t i o n sand a seniorsport and exer-cise sciencemajor, ranunopposed forthe studentbody presidentand received489 votes.
“I was veryexcited whenthe initial results cameout,” Charbonneau said.“Although I was runningunopposed, it still was anervous week and I triednot to get too excitedbefore they actually wereannounced.”
While Charbonneausaid he has enjoyed serv-ing in his current position
this year, he is lookingforward to the opportuni-ties next year will bring.
“I had a great experi-ence sitting on Senatethis year, and next year,I’m excited to get more
involved withthe inner work-ings on cam-pus and reallyfind out whatneeds tochange,” hesaid. “I hopemy new posi-tion will giveme the free-dom and abili-ty to reallymake changeson this cam-
pus in a positive way. Ifeveryone on Senate workstogether, there are nolimits to what we canaccomplish.”
While someof the electedare Senate vet-erans, otherswill be servingfor the firsttime next year,such as JonteMajor, a fresh-man businessm a r k e t i n gmajor, who waselected direc-tor of DiverseRelations.
“I was honestly verysurprised,” Major said ofher win. “I started to pacethe room with disbelief.,Then when my best friendcame knocking on mydoor, we screamed andjumped around like anygirl would have.”
As director of DiverseRelations, Major said she
hopes to go above andbeyond what is requiredof her in the position.
“I hopeto fulfill myp o s i t i o n ’ sduties tot h e i rfullest,” shesaid. “I alsohope toc r e a t esome newr e s o u r c e son campusfor those inneed.”
As withany newjob, thenew Senatem e m b e r swill haves o m e w h a tof a learn-ing curveonce theyassume their roles, butMajor is nothing butexcited about it.
“I am mostly lookingforward to allthe knowledgeI will gain fromSenate and theupperclassmenI will be work-ing with,” shesaid. “I knowthat working onSenate is one ofthe best learn-ing experiences,and I cannotbelieve I get toexperience it.”
Major, who received245 votes, beat out heropponents Emily Barker,who received 169 votes,and Ben Fuller, whoreceived 131.
According to the pre-
liminary election results,the 2012-13 Senate, inaddition to Charbonneau
and Major,will consist ofS t u d e n tTrustee LeviF u l l e r ,Director ofF i n a n c eO l i v e rB o u r n e ,Director ofU n i v e r s i t yR e l a t i o n sJohn Pherson,Director ofA c a d e m i cAffairs ShelbyW i l l i a m s ,Director ofL e g i s l a t i v eAffairs BeccaHoy, Directorof Clubs andOrganizationsSamantha Fox

One of the best seasons isupon us. The grass is turninggreen again, the semester is wind-ing down and baseball season isfinally back.
At the Colorado Rockies’ homeopener, the excitement was feltthroughout the stands — well, untilthe third inning when JhoulysChacin gave up his fourth run ofthe game. The setting didn’t havenearly the same feel after that.
Following the game, com-ments from fans and the mediahave been nothing but nega-tive against the players andmanagement. However, four
games into the season isn’t thetime to point fingers.
It is going to be a long andpainful season if the currentstandings are a reflection of therest of the year.
What’s the biggest indicatorthere is no way the current MLBstandings reflect the end of theseason standing? Look in the NLEast. The Mets sit atop the divi-sion. Among teams such as thePhillies and the Braves, third isthe highest the Mets should everbe in the division.
The Yankees and Red Soxare occupying the bottom of
the AL East. This won’t last. Askany true fan of the Yankees,and he or she will gladly bringup the fact that the 27-timeWorld Series Champions wonthe 1998 Fall Classic after start-ing the season 0-3.
For teams like the Rockies,fans should be able to recognizethis year as a rebuilding season,especially with only four returningstarters taking the field during thefirst inning Friday in the seasonopener at the Houston Astros.With all the changes, strugglesduring the first weeks of the sea-son are expected.
As a fan in Coors Field onOpening Day, it hurts to watchyour team lose a 7-0 shutout to apitcher who hasn’t thrown onesince 2003. But, this can’t be areflection on what the team willlook like come July.
Patience is a virtue. Baseballfans, be patient because the sea-son will turn out differently thanthe current standings. If yourteam is one that is scrapping thebarrel, don’t fret. If the standingsare the same come August, that iswhen you will need to make yourrally cap a full-time wardrobeaddition.
Early-season baseball results are no reason to panic
As I left class around7:30 Mondayevening, the sun had
yet to set behind the moun-tains. This was just one of themany indicators that summer isnear. One can smell it, even if itis slightly masked by Greeley’spreternatural stench.
The itch is insatiable, but asstudents, it’s still in our bestinterest to remain focused onacademics, as difficult as thatmay be. I’m not sure about every-one else on campus, but the nexttwo weeks are shaping up to bemy most difficult of the semester,full of papers and projects.
With final exams quicklyapproaching, professors rush tofit the remainder of a course’scontent into what’s left of thesemester. That means a prettystressful end of the semester forboth instructors and students.Equally important to complet-ing the coursework, though, isridding oneself of the stressesthat are bound to tag along withthe workload.
Everybody blows off steam inhis or her own way. Some areable to use the stress as fuel topower through homework, andthat in itself is a good release.Many times, just knowing that along-dreaded paper is behindme can be quite a boost.
More often, though, I needsomething outside school to useas an outlet, and the springweather is a great help in open-ing up more of those possibili-
ties. A round of disc golf on thecampus links is a nice way tospend a sunny afternoon andtake my mind away from thework to which I must returneventually.
Stress is bound to be ram-pant in these days of our pro-duction-based society, even inschools. The important thing tobear in mind is that classes arenot a matter of life or death.There is always another chanceto redeem a mistake, whether itis this semester or later.
I know I have been experi-encing abnormal amounts ofstress, by my standards, so Iplanned to do something aboutit this week. I found somesmall bowls and purchasedthem with the intent of break-ing them (fret not, they wereonly a dollar apiece). I did thedeed with some good friends,
expecting that I would feel aburden lifted. But instead, itstayed.
Later that evening, I satalone outside, writing outwhatever came to my mindand drinking in the sounds ofthe town. That experienceproved to be much morerelieving, surprisingly.
As the semester tailspinsdown and the projects pile up,remember that stress relief cancome in many forms. Go workout, or grab a book. Rock thedrums, or listen to a newalbum. Break some bowls, orwrite a poem. But whateveryou do, don’t pull your hair outover a class you can alwaystake again.

The College ofEducation and BehavioralSciences honored stu-dents and presented themwith a speech from a rec-ognized UNC alumnaTuesday in the UniversityCenter Ballrooms.
Tuesday was the 6thAnnual HonorsConvocation in which 51students were recognizedfor their work in academ-ics, research and commit-tees. The 51 students arein the top 1.3 percent oftheir classes at both theundergraduate and grad-uate levels. They werehand-selected by theirprofessors to receive thehonors titles.
The convocationbegan with EugeneSheehan, the dean of
CEBS, giving a smallspeech to welcome every-one, introduce faculty andspeak briefly about thecollege’s achievements.
The guest speaker forthe evening was EllenWagner, who taughtEducational Technologyat UNC from 1983 to 1994.
“Trying is essential,but ‘doing’ is what makesa person,” Wagner said.
During her speech, shegave the audience insightinto her endeavors beforeand after working at UNC.She explained how she fol-lowed her dream all overthe world from Coloradoto Switzerland and hasnow settled down with ajob as a senior analyst.
“Dean Sheehan want-ed someone that has goneoutside what is consid-ered the normal pathafter professors stop
teaching,” Wagner said. It is Wagner’s many
career paths that broughther to the University ofNorthern Colorado to
speak Tuesday. Sheehansaid Wagner’s most pro-found piece of advice forstudents was to avoid get-ting locked into a specificcareer path. She notedthat for over half the stu-dents there, their thirdprofessional job hasn’teven been invented yet.
Once both Sheehanand Wagner were finishedspeaking, faculty mem-bers were called up topresent the awards fortheir respective disci-
plines. Each faculty mem-ber took the time to say afew words about the hon-orees so the audiencecould gain a brief under-standing of why they werechosen to receive such aprestigious award.
The passion and carethat was put behind everyprofessor’s words wasenough to make any audi-ence member want tocongratulate the honoreesfor what they’ve done aswell as inquire further.
“I feel fabulous,” saidKarlee Provenza, a seniorpsychology major. “I’vehad a great team of pro-fessors, and withoutthem, I wouldn’t havefound this passion.”
The event concludedwith an Italian ariasinging the song “AlmostThere” from “ThePrincess and the Frog”performed by StephanieBrickles, an undergradu-ate special education andmusic education majorwho hopes to be teachingmusic at the elementarylevel by 2013.

‘America’s Daydream’ to debutSTAFF REPORT
Journalism and masscommunication studentshave just put the finishingtouches on a self-directeddocumentary, and it is set totackle the concept of the“American dream.”
At 7 p.m. Monday, April23, at Lindou Auditorium inMichener Library, countless
hours of work will finally berevealed to UNC faculty, stu-dents and the Greeley com-munity. The premier is freefor all attendees.
The documentary is titled“America’s Daydream” andwill challenge the surround-ing elements of the modern-day American dream. It willfeature several interviews andfirsthand accounts of themany struggles that follow
when people risk it all toachieve their ideas of theAmerican dream. The inter-views range from students,professionals and randomAmerican citizens.
It will more specificallyevaluate the role race, gender,socioeconomic status and thecurrent economic downturnaffect individuals’ chances ofreaching their goals.
“The American dream has
changed drastically throughthe past decades; we want toknow if people still believe itexists and if it is even achiev-able,” said AlejandroSanabria, the student directorof the documentary.
Professor GarySwanson, the students’faculty advisor and anEmmy award winner,lended a hand to the mak-ing of the documentary.

With the amount ofwork and studying UNCstudents have to do, it canbe hard for them to stayconnected with what isgoing on outside their nor-mal routines.
Thanks to a new socialnetworking site dedicatedto University of NorthernColorado students, though,knowing what’s happeningon campus and around thecommunity can be a loteasier.
Peleg Rosenthal, a jun-ior business administrationmajor, founded the newsocial media websiteStrictly Platonic.
“As a student at UNC, Ifelt at times that Greeleyand the campus area didn’thave a lot to offer despitethe large student body,”Rosenthal said. “I decidedto get out of my shell, try tomeet new people andexplore Greeley and UNCunder a different light. Tomy amusement, I foundout that UNC has a lot tooffer. I wanted every stu-dent at UNC to know that.”
Strictly Platonic is anactivity-based social net-working site that allowsstudents to meet new peo-ple on campus based oncommon interests ordesired activities.
Using their BearMailaddresses, students can logon and find out what is hap-pening near them as well ascreate activities of their own,such as one-on-one or groupmeetings with other students.
“For underclassmen,Strictly Platonic will offer a
great platform to get involvedwith the student body and thearea, meet students outside ofclass and get to knowGreeley,” Rosenthal said.“Upperclassmen can use it tomeet students for profession-al purposes, go over a resume,provide work advice or evenreview a final paper together.They can also use StrictlyPlatonic to recommendplaces in Greeley to freshmenand sophomores becauseeveryone should know aboutThe Kitchen.”
The site is also user-gen-erated. After a user opens aprofile and populates it withinterests and some basicinformation about them-selves, the site will matchthat user with other students
with similar interests. Thesite also recommends eventsin Greeley and at UNC.
“Coming from out-of-
state to a new area can be abit overwhelming,” saidPatti Mokry, a junior phi-losophy and environmen-tal studies major. “Youdon’t know anyone orknow what there is to do.This site is a great idea inthat it pushes students togo out, explore and interactwith people face-to-face.”
At this time, students canpost any event or activity onthe site as long as it doesn’tviolate the terms of use.
“I’m really excited to seewhat will happen,” Rosenthalsaid. “Hopefully, with thehelp of Strictly Platonic, I willremove those barriersinvolved with meeting peopleand make students’ lives a lit-tle more fun.”

Various one-acts performed in Norton Theatre
SPENCER DUNCAN [email protected]
At the beginning of thesemester, seven studentsenrolled in THEA 440:Directing the One-Act play,which is taught by J. DavidBlatt, a theatre arts professor.On Sunday, their labor will bedisplayed.
The seven one-acts, fea-turing students from the uni-versity are set to take stage at1 p.m. in Gray Hall’s NortonTheatre. Performances will befree for attendees.
While being mentored byBlatt, the class experiencedeverything that a directorwould go through while cre-ating a one-act production.The process started by select-ing a play, holding auditions,
conducting call-backs, cast-ing and rehersal.
“It’s a really good firstexperience being on stage atUNC,” said Tyler Richmeier, asophomore acting major.“Everyone on stage takes itseriously. The best part hasbeen the entire rehearsalprocess. We have kept askingourselves questions andpushing ourselves forward asa cast.”
Richmeier will be per-forming in the opening play,“Dentity Crisis,” ChristopherDurang’s drama about theaftermath of a woman’s nerv-ous breakdown and herrecovery with a mother whoclaims to have inventedcheese.
Richmeier said heenjoyed working with his
director, Angela Gabardi. “She gives us our artistic
freedoms, but at the sametime, she keeps us level,”Richmeier said. “She containsit. Everyone — the cast andthe crew — isb o n d e dtogether tocreate onebeing.”
R i t c h i eHann, asophomoreacting major,said his play,“Fissures,” as u r r e a l i s tplay aboutvarious peo-ple whoseem to losetheir memo-ry, has beenenjoyable towork ondespite itschallenges.
“Differentscenes andmonologuescome togeth-er to portray one person’smemories,” Hann said. “It’san ensemble cast, so no oneperson has a set character; noone person will be playingmultiple people. It has beenreally difficult because it’ssuch a different piece.Presenting it in a believableway has been tough. Now, theweek before the show, thecast has really come togetherand has started to work outthe kinks.”
The one-acts will be per-formed from Sunday, April
15, to Thursday, April 19. Carolyn Warner, a junior
theater education major,directs "Life Under Water," asummer-time story aboutlove affairs among two
w e a l t h yy o u n gwomen anda sensitivep r e p p i eman.
"It hasbeen anincredibleprocess; Ihave discov-ered whatmy direct-ing style isand how Io r g a n i z et h i n g s , ”W a r n e rsaid. “It’ssuch a won-derful jour-ney becauseit hasallowed meto re-dis-cover what
theater means to me." On Sunday, theatergoers
will have the opportunity towatch all seven plays withshort intermissions betweeneach performance.
Those interested inattending the show areencouraged to arrive an hourbefore the production is set tostart in order to obtain tickets.
Tickets are free, butbecause Norton Theatrehas a small amount ofseating, early arrival isrecommended.

Softball looking to break losing streak at CSUMATT GABRIEL
UNC’s softball teamhoped to pick up steamon the conference roadtrip to Utah over the
weekend but will insteadneed to find momentumwhen it plays ColoradoState at 4 p.m. today inFort Collins.
The University ofNorthern Colorado (17-22,
2-6) came back to Greeleyafter a four-game seriesagainst Utah Valley with itsrecord bruisedand its PacificCoast SoftballC o n f e r e n c erecord droppedbelow .500.
“I don’t knowwhere we fell offthe tracks,” headcoach MarkMontgomery said.
The Bearswill need tochannel somemomentum intotoday’s game against CSU(18-18), which has wonthe past two gamesagainst UNC this season.UNC freshman pitcherKelci Cheney said theteam is going into the
game with a differentmentality than before.
“No one feels pressure,just motiva-tion,” Cheneysaid. “Before,the pressuregot to us.”
Cheney willstart the game,a change fromthe past two, inwhich fresh-man MikaylaDuffy started inthe circle.Duffy said los-ing twice has
changed the team’s moti-vation to win against theRams.
“We’ve got some firerumbling,” Duffy said.
The team hopes to usethe frustrations stemming
from its six-game losingstreak. If it hopes to comeback to Greeley with a win,the team will have to kickthe errors that have beenplaguing them lately.
In the past six games,the Bears have committedeight errors — six fromthe series at Utah Valley.
“Sometimes, thewheels fall off the wagon,”Cheney said. “The hitting,the pitching, the runningand the fielding compiles,and we need to fix itinside the games.”
One thingMontgomery said won’tbe changing because ofthe losses is the lineup.
“If they always live infear of being pulled, wewon’t learn,”Montgomery said.
Montgomery said tobreak the streak, one keycomponent will be tostart playing as a teamagain.
The first pitch isscheduled for 4 p.m.today in Fort Collins. TheBears will return homeSaturday for a weekendseries against PortlandState with games at noonand 2:30 p.m. and twogames Sunday at thesame times.

UNCSPRN hosts dinner to teach proper etiquetteSARAH KIRBY
The age-old decorumof proper eti-quette can stillburn or buildbridges in thenetworking andbusiness worldof the 21st centu-ry, which is whyUNC StudentPublic RelationsNetwork willhost an etiquettedinner April 18 at7 p.m in Brown’sCentennial Hall.
The deadlinefor registration is today,and tickets can be pur-chased for $10 in theJournalism and Mass
C o m m u n i c a t i o nDepartment office locat-ed on the first floor ofCandelaria Hall.
Normally a$21 meal, theetiquette din-ner includesthree courses:salad, entrée(with a possi-ble vegetarianoption) anddessert.
At thee v e n t ,K a t h e r i n eMason, presi-dent of the JonD. Williams
Cotillions SocialEducation Program, willexplain the different ritesof etiquette passage and
their importance to a suc-cessful business meetingor luncheon.
“One thing I’velearned is that firstimpressions and how topresent yourself matter,”said Samantha Brescia, asenior journalism majorand president of SPRN.“For example, smiling iskey to showing that youare approachable andthat you are excited to bewherever you are. Theskills one learns at an eti-quette dinner make youmore marketable as a per-son, more engaged andmore apt to have employ-ers want to hire you andwork with you.”
Multiple plates, unbe-lievable amounts of uten-
sils and different styles ofeating can quickly causethe most poised individ-ual to question what hisor her first move shouldbe.
Manners are generallydetermined by an individ-ual at the head of thetable, which can be anunsaid code.
There are multiplerules in etiquette. Forinstance, in European eti-quette, an individualshould keep the tine ofhis or her fork facingdown on the plate whilecutting meat.
Both of these are smalldetails, but as Mason willdemonstrate, they all addup to make an impression.
“In my old sorority, we
had to use proper eti-quette during our weeklymeetings and dinnerstogether,” said SashaPooridgemen, a sopho-more history major. “Ithought it was a stuffytradition at first, butknowing how and whento pass the rolls makes anoddly relevant differencein how people view yourmanners, which are areflection of you in gen-eral not only as a poten-tial employee but also aperson.”
SPRN is taking 45 stu-dents, and there are somespots left. Anyone major-ing in business, publicrelations, communica-tions or any other profes-sional avenue that deals
with networking isencouraged to attend theevent.
“I’ve learned that theimportance of networking iscritical in today’s job marketsearch,” said Kyra Stroble, ajunior communicationstudies major. “If I can builda better relationship withsomeone based on myinteraction with them —which would include propermanners — then I wouldhate for something so sim-ple to get in the way of myprofessional success.”
Katherine Mason will teach prospec-tive UNC businessprofessionalsabout proper din-ner etiqutte.
Tickets for the eti-quette dinner canbe purchased fromthe JMC office. Thedeadline is today.
Contemporary Dance performed in Langworthy TheatreASHLEY REITZ
This weekend, theSchool of Theatre Arts andDance presented “ACelebration of Dance in itsMany Forms” inLangworthy Theatre inFrasier Hall.
On Thursday’s openingnight, about 150 studentsand Greeley communitymembers came to showtheir support of the pro-gram.
With a total of fourpieces, dancers presentedvarious styles of dancefrom four different chore-ographers. The choreogra-phers consisted of UNCinstructors includingMonte Black, a professorof dance, and Christy
O’Connell-Black, anadjunct ballet instructor.
David Marchant, a pro-fessor of dance atWashington University,and Jacob Mora, artisticdirector of MoraporvidaContemporary Dance inDenver, served as guestartists.
Instructors had anopportunity to displaytheir choreography skillsand art in their individualpieces.
“Each dance has suchdiversity,” Monte said.
Each dance had its ownsense of modern style,which is a style thatemerged as an expressionof rebellion against classi-cal ballet.
Modern dancing is allabout expressing inner
feelings through move-ment. Although each por-trayed modern choreogra-phy, each had its own fla-vor that correspondedgreatly with the choreogra-pher.
The opening act, called“Mass Chaos” and choreo-graphed by Christy, pre-sented modern move-ments with overtones ofclassical ballet in theadvancement of move-ment.
The piece was eye-catching; each dancerwore a white outfit. The setconsisted of a royal bluelight in the backgroundand various bars on thestage from which dancerscould flip and swing.
“The lead dancers real-ly complimented each
other in their acrobaticsand tumbling,” said EmilyLorenzi, a senior educa-tion major. “I loved theentertaining elements ofthe piece.”
The second piece,“ B e l l a d o n n aDivertimento,” was chore-ographed by Marchant.
“Belladonna” means“beautiful woman” inItalian, and “divertimen-to” refers to a sort ofamusement.
Seven female dancerstook the stage in loosegreen dresses with onemale performer, FrancisCorby.
The third piece,“Beneath the Surface,” hada variety of music choreo-graphed by Mora.
Modern style was pres-
ent in the choreographywith aspects of jazz, con-temporary and hip-hop.The large ensemble ofdancers wore dark, grungyoutfits. Each change oflight corresponded with adifferent style and mood ofdancing, including anentirely black backgroundwith dark modern move-ments. The performancewas extremely powerfulwith explosions in themusic and strong partnerwork.
“It was a great learningexperience learning fromJacob Mora,” said ChelseaCampanelli, a junior edu-cation major and danceminor. “I was honored tobe a part of his piecebecause he has such anauthentic style.”
The entire second actwas filled with Black’spiece, “Punks: A LoveStory,” with a variety ofmusic by The AirborneToxic Event.
The dancing wentthrough short stories com-prising into one about theclassic love story of boyloses girl, boy misses girl,boy finds new girl.
The ensemble of 21dancers wore punk-rock-inspired outfits with neon-colored hair and brightprints. The piece was filledwith high-energy move-ment with a humorousoutlook.
“Monte’s dance bringsyou back to the beginningflirty stage of a relation-ship that everyone canrelate to,” Lorenzi said.
