Though there has beenpositive news about theUnited States coming outof the recession in thepast few weeks, there isno doubt the nation isstill facing foreclosuresand a poor job market.

For students at UNCand colleges across thecountry, it is a particular-ly scary environment;most students graduate indebt from student loansbut are still expected tostart their lives by gettingcars and apartmentspost-graduation.

One key factor in beingable to do all this is by hav-

ing a good credit score,which is often forgotten orunknown to students.

On Monday, theProfessional AdministrativeStaff Council looked to offera bit more guidance by offer-ing University of NorthernColorado students, employ-ees and community mem-bers a free credit manage-ment workshop in theUniversity Center.

PASC brought in DanBeck, a UNC alumnus andpresident of CreditManagement Specialists,to give an hour-long talkwith basic pointers onkeeping credit scores inthe proper range andthings people can do toincrease their scores.

Deborah Borelli, amember of PASC and theevent organizer, said theywanted to bring Beck to the

university because PASCtries to host useful andtimely presentations andshe felt a class by Beck fellinto that category.

“We thought this was agood one, especially withstudents who are nowentering that credit era,”Borelli said. “Somethinglike this presentation willhelp them start out withthe knowledge so theycan avoid messing uptheir credit.”

The presentation con-sisted of a slideshow and aninteractive lecture by Beck.

Advice was givenabout credit cards andwhen to open them, whatwebsites to trust to giveaccurate credit scores andwhat myths peopleshould and shouldn’t lis-ten to when it comes toimproving their creditscores.

Two attendees alsoreceived a raffle prize ofBeck’s book “Revealed:The Truth about Credit,”which goes into moredetail about the topic.

Norman Miller, thematerial handler inDining Services, said hefelt the presentation wasuseful even though he hasa longer credit historythan most traditional

UNC students.“I thought it was a

good class,” Miller said.“It wasn’t just a lot of talk.The way he presented itsounded like it was prettysimple to implement. It’sgood to know how you’reaffecting your credit scoreno matter what.”

Beck said that thoughhe normally works one-on-one with clients, itisn’t out of the ordinaryfor him to give lectures.

“I usually do two tothree a month,” Beck

said. “Most of the time itis for realtors in Coloradowhere they get credit fortheir license to come lis-ten to something like this.To the public, stuff likethis, I don’t get out asmuch, but I would like todo more of those.”

Beck said, as an alumnus,it was good to give a lectureto the UNC community.

“It’s always good togive back and help out,”he said.

Psychology professor follows passion in researchSARA VAN CLEVE

[email protected]

More than 30 yearsago, a young NancyKarlin, who was just asophomore in high schoolat the time, experienced alife-changing and career-defining moment simplybecause she did not prop-erly address her mathteacher.

Karlin’s high schoolused what was called the“Third Wave,” which usedNazi principles and pro-cedures to control theclassroom. One day,Karlin did not properlyrespond to her mathteacher and was embar-rassed by her teacherwhen he acknowledgedher improper response infront of her classmates.

“Apparently, I didn’tsay ‘Yes, sir’ or ‘No, sir’ tomy math teacher at thetime,and as a result, I wascalled out,” Karlin said. “Iwas chastised and humili-ated in class. I was anextremely active studentin high school and notone of my fellow studentsdefended me; they all justsat there.”

This experience iswhat piqued Karlin’sinterest in how thehuman mind works.

“I never understoodwhy they all just sat there,”Karlin said. “That got meinterested in psychology.”

That interest led her toEvangel University inMissouri, where sheearned a bachelor’sdegree in psychology,Fort Hays State Universityin Kansas, where she

earned a master’s degreein general psychology andto Colorado StateUniversity to earn a doc-torate in experimentalpsychology.

It was at CSUwhen Karlin gother first experi-ence at thehead of thec l a s s r o o m ,teaching as shefinished herdoctorate, andshe has beenteaching eversince. She is inher 23rd year asa professor ofpsychology at theUniversity of NorthernColorado.

Karlin said it has beenthe students who havekept her going for morethan two decades.

“I really enjoy theinteraction with them,”she said. “There are littlebits and pieces in otherareas that made me wantto stay here, but that hasto be the primary reason.”

Karlin teaches a vari-ety of psychology coursesat UNC, including SocialPsychology, Psychologyof Learning, Maturity andAging, Psychology ofPrejudice, AdvancedSocial Psychology andCommunity Psychology.

When Karlin walks intothe classroom, she opensup her Apple laptop andprepares the day’s lessonvia PowerPoint. Shebegins her lecture theminute the period starts.As she goes through theslides, students takenotes and ask questions,

which Karlin answers indetail.

Students even share afew laughs as Karlinmakes jokes about thecurrent topic or shares a

funny cartoonon PowerPoint.While Karlinand the stu-dents’ moodsare light duringthe lecture,there is stillbusiness to bedone, andKarlin staysfocused onteaching.

“A professoris one who makes a classfun and your hand numb;this is Dr. Karlin,” seniorpsychology major OliverMendoza said with asmile. “Dr. Karlin is a pro-fessor that challenges oneto think and to take homeideas outside of the class-room. While doing so, shemakes it very fun andinteresting to learn.”

When not it class,Karlin can be found in heroffice in McKee Hall withher door propped open,welcoming students andothers in to talk. Multiplebookshelves accent theroom, holding a multi-tude of texts and display-ing her personal achieve-ments, with her threedegrees proudly dis-played on the wall.

While teaching isKarlin’s profession, she istrained as a researcherand conducts research ona regular basis.

“I am trained to besomeone who doesresearch in the area of

social psychology,” Karlinsaid. “I do familial care-giver research, so that’swhat makes it appliedsocial psychology and theelements of going frombeing a non-caregiver to acaregiver in a sandwichgeneration, which iswhen you’re still caringfor your kids and yourparents as well. It’s appli-cation research.”

It was another person-al experience that helpedKarlin gain interest in theelderly and their care-givers. Karlin’s best frienddied of cancer, and shesaid it was the trauma ofhaving to watch differentelements-including fami-ly, friends and caregivers-interact with the dyingprocess that got her intoher area of research.

Over the past fewyears, Karlin has traveledto different parts of theUnited States and othercountries, including Italyand Peru, to gather dataregarding the resiliency of

survivors of natural disas-ters as well as perceptionsand experiences of agingacross cultures.

Karlin is currently col-lecting data regarding theaging experience in Italyand Botswana and willtravel this summer with agroup of about 10 stu-dents to Thailand wherethey will be able to collectdata on aging in the coun-try, visit historical sitesand perform communityservice.

While her research isstill ongoing, Karlin saidshe has been able to makeone preliminary assess-ment.

“We’re currently find-ing that resiliency fromcountry to country is dif-ferent, and the percep-tions of aging from coun-

try to country; it’s clearlycross-cultural research,”Karlin said. “It shows it isnot one world.”

Karlin said her philos-ophy with life, both per-sonal and professional, isto do what is important atthe time.

“Life experiences havegotten me to where I am,”she said. “I think that’strue of most people. I gothere because of thingsrolling into my path of lifeand just having to dealwith it and having tomake some decisionsabout what I wanted toact on or not. Some of thethings that happen in lifeare good and some arenot so good, but I’m a bigbeliever in what you dowith it, and I try to do themost with what I have.”

Nancy Karlin teaches a variety ofpsychology coursesat UNC, includingSocial Psychology.

Infamous for their crimes, theshooters at Columbine HighSchool, Eric Harris and DylanKlebold, killed themselves aftershooting their classmates andteachers in 1999. But the pattern ofmurder-suicide was implementedlong before these two troubledColorado teens were forlorn. Therecord goes as far back as 1903when Gilbert Twigg, who, afterkilling nine people and injuring 25more, committed suicide inWinfield, Kan.

It would seem rampage mur-derer Anders Behring Breivikwould have followed the pattern

set by his predecessors, but themassacre he committed followed aless suicidal pattern.

On July 22, 2011, Breivik deto-nated a bomb outside governmentoffices in Oslo, killing eight people.He then traveled to Utoeya, a smallisland where a youth camp washeld, where he shot and killed 69people. Of the 69 dead, 34 werebetween the ages of 14 and 17. Asunoriginal his crime may be,Breivik is an atypical criminal.

Those who go on mass ram-page killings sometimes end theirown lives before punishmentensues. Breivik had no such plans

for suicide, although he admits hedid not expect to live, and he isnow on trial for his actions.

During his testimony on April16, Breivik openly expressed hisemotional detachment from themurders. He said his actions werebased on good, not evil, andbelieves he has “carried out themost spectacular and sophisticatedattack on Europe since World WarII.” Breivik’s disenchantment withmurder has surfaced claims ofinsanity — but not from Breivikhimself.

According to BBC News,Breivik’s mental state is at the heart

of the trial, which is expected tolast 10 weeks. If the court findsBreivik insane, he will be sent topsychiatric care. If he is found to bementally stable, he will be jailed iffound guilty. Breivik plead guiltywhile arguing he is completelysane and that he sees an insanitydefense as discrediting the anti-Muslim and anti-immigrationmessage he attempted to send.

It is apparent Breivik has adesire to be recognized for hisoffenses. If all goes well, Breivik willget what he wants: a cold, hard jailcell, which he undoubtedlydeserves.

Oslo bomber unfortunately getting attention for crime, plea

In 2000, Stan Kroenke pur-chased both the ColoradoAvalanche and Denver

Nuggets. At that point, Kroenke’sclaim to fame was his marriage toAnn Walton, daughter of BudWalton, a co-founder of Wal-Mart,as well as his own success in pur-chasing and developing shoppingcenters. Now, he owns the majorityof the St. Louis Rams and ArsenalFC in London, and his Coloradofranchises are being left behind.

This past year, the Nuggets wereranked 28th of 30 NBA teams insalary spent. They are currently inposition to be the sixth seed in theWestern Conference playoffs, a

moderate success for any team buta big accomplishment for a squadthat does not see much financialsupport from its owner.

The Avalanche finished just out-side the playoffs in 2011-12, spend-ing less than 300,000 dollars morethan the New York Islanders, whohad the lowest salary total of anyclub in the National HockeyLeague.

Both Colorado franchises havestrong, young nuclei, poised tobecome major players in their ownleagues within the next five years.The only question is this: IsKroenke willing to put up themoney for his forgotten Coloradofranchises to be successful?

In 2010, Kroenke opted to buymore stock in the Rams. The NFLdoes not allow its owners to ownother major professional sportsfranchises, so he gifted both theNuggets and the Avalanche to his

son, Josh. Perhaps, he truly believedhis son would be successful as agovernor of two major sports fran-chises, but it’s more likely that hejust decided to do anything to gethis football club.

With 15 players from the 2011-12 roster potentially coming offthe Avalanche’s books this offsea-son, management will have plen-ty of salary cap flexibility to makesome quality moves.

Josh Kroenke and GeneralManager Greg Sherman would bewise to re-sign late-season acquisi-tions Steve Downie and JamieMcGinn, who provided a boost forthe club. They should be run out oftown if they don’t re-sign ErikJohnson and Ryan O’Reilly, as bothmade great strides during the sea-son, and Matt Duchene, whoseinjuries did not allow him to gainmuch traction this year.

The Nuggets are a different

story. Only aging point guard AndreMiller has a contract that expiresafter this season. While head coachGeorge Karl has a strong affinity forMiller, his play has become wildlyinconsistent this year, and he is notworth his $7.8 million cap hit. Butfor a lower price, he is a valuableveteran presence.

We all remember the frustratingCarmelo Anthony saga, which wasactually handled fairly well byNuggets General Manager MasaiUjiri, as the franchise received sev-eral young, talented pieces. Boththe Nuggets and the Avalanche areon the verge of becoming con-tenders in their respective sports.It’s now up to the Kroenkes todecide if they will be all-in when theteams’ cores reach their prime.

“Panache” meansreckless confidence offlare and style. The defini-tion seems to fit CaféPanache, the French-inspired crepe restaurantlocated at 821 10th Streetin downtown Greeley.

Model Eiffel Towerlegs line the corners ofthe café to give theappearance they supportthe ceiling, while localmodern art hangs on thecafé walls.

When owner RogerBrindisi opened CaféPanache in the summer of2011, he and his wifedecided to mix Frenchcuisine with the idea ofquick and simple ingredi-ents; this philosophy isclearly reflected on theirmenu.

Ten crepes, each filledwith a unique combina-tion of ingredients, are onthe menu year-round and

at any time of the day.There also is a strawberryand walnut salad, soupsand a few non-alcoholicdrinks as well as alcoholicdrinks.

Besides their business,the Brindisis are active inthe community by partner-ing with other local busi-nesses. By doing so, theysell alcohol from theCrabtree Brewing Companyin Greeley. Not only do theysell it to drink, they haveadded it to one of theirsoups; the Sodbuster Innserved this soup, which waspart of a seven-course mealfor the 100th anniversary ofthe sinking of the Titanic onSunday. The event aspiredto bring the town togetherand encouraged people tocome in costume.

“I think I am at my cre-ative best making soup,”Brindisi said. “It’s so fun!”

Last summer, theytried making cold soups,but they weren’t very

popular in Greeley.Brindisi said he is hopefulthat this will change andthe idea of cold soup willcatch on, but for now,making hot soups andcrepes is successfully get-ting people’s attention.Also, the Brindisis useherbs fresh from theirgarden during summer.

A local said she can tellthey try their best to getfresh, quality ingredientsany time of the year.

“I just had a crepe withpeanut butter, bananasand bacon, which seemslike a really weird combi-nation, but it’s the perfectdelicious morning treat,”Greeley native AmyMcCullough said.

Even though Brindisicreated all the balancedconcoctions that make upthe menu, the savorycrepe batter recipe isfrom Brindisi’s hero, chefJulia Child; and accordingto Brindisi, she is one of

the finest chefs and bestcooking educators ever.

The French themeexpands beyond themenu to the inside of thebuilding. The café’s deco-rations reflect Brindisi’sidea of opening a crepeplace originating directlyfrom France. After livingin France for three years,Brindisi noticed that cafésdot every corner of thefood-centered city.Although sit-downrestaurants that servecrepes are rare and streetvenders usually sellcrepes, he adapted theidea to fit Greeley.

Even before openingthe café, Brindisi and hiswife made it a priority tomake a contribution to thetown they live in. TheBrindisis incorporate localart into their business. Asartists, the Brindisis alsouse the café to showcasetheir own art.

A variety of local

artists also get the oppor-tunity to showcase theirwork because the cafédisplays a new artist’s arteach month, and a differ-ent local performanceartist plays each Friday.

The art also extends tothe back of the store. Onthe way to the restrooms,the walls are painted withwhite tiles and graffiti artlike Paris’ metro stations.

To further support art,they invest in local oppor-tunities by donating theirtips. For example, onemonth, the Brindisisdonated their tips to an artteacher in Fort Collinswho only gets $75 for 400students’ art supplies.They give beyond art caus-es too. The Brindisisdonate their tips eachmonth to a different localcause because they firmlybelieve it’s important tohelp out the community.

As the crepe businessthrives to help locals,

Brindisi plans to expandin the near future. Thestore next to CaféPanache will be for salesoon, and Brindisi hasconfirmed with the ownerthat the Brindisis can buyit when it goes on themarket. Brindisi plans tohave friends who own anice cream and baristashop to open their busi-ness next door. The twobusinesses will be con-nected with an archedopening on a shared wall.

Brindisi said he hopesthe expansion will allowCafé Panache to focusmore on music and giveboth of the businessesextra seating.

“We really wonderedhow we would be receivedhere,” Brindisi said as helooked around at thefilled tables in thecreperieafter the lunchrush. “But as you can see,people come and feelcomfortable here.”

Holocaust victims, survivors honored at ceremonySARAH MOE

[email protected]

Students, staff, faculty andcommunity members gath-ered in Michener Library atUNC Monday to readaccounts of the Holocaustfrom both victims and sur-vivors as part of the City ofGreeley’s annual HolocaustMemorial Observances.

This year’s theme forthe memorial week is“Voices from theHolocaust,” so the eventwas a fitting tribute.

Much of the audiencehad brought somethingpersonally meaningful toshare with the group.

First was Jeri Kraver, anEnglish professor at the

University of NorthernColorado and a member ofthe Holocaust MemorialObservance Committee,Kraver read from the recentNational Public Radio

broadcast “Violins of Hope.”“Violins of Hope” is

about a collection ofinstruments played byJewish people during theHolocaust. Some of thesepeople were saved from thegas chambers only becausetheir instrumental skillswere needed to give newprisoners a false sense ofsecurity upon entering theconcentration camps.

Myra Hanson, an elemen-tary education major, choseto share a picture book titled“Always Remember Me: HowOne Family Survived WorldWar II,” by Marisabina Russoabout her grandmother’sstory of survival in theHolocaust.

Hanson said she selected

the book because she is inter-ested in educating children.

“Children are not afraid ofwhat adults are afraid ofsometimes,” Hanson said,speaking of her belief thatchildren should be educatedon difficult topics, such as theHolocaust.

Another reading wasfrom the book “FourPerfect Pebbles,” theauthor of which, MarionBlumenthal Lazan, will becoming to UNC to tell herpersonal story of survivalThursday at 7:30 p.m. inthe University Center.

“I offer my belief that outof darkness can come light,”reads the dedication inBlumenthal Lazan’s book,which she offers to her family.

Other readers at theevent included BethanyKoscheski, an English major;Amanda Jones, an Englisheducation major; ArleneStredler-Brown, a doctoralstudent; Arlene Hansen, theassistant director of theOffice of SponsoredPrograms; Rosemary Neel, abusiness major, and Greeleycommunity members HollisBerendt, Tracey Adams andMary Walsh.

People from acrossGreeley shared stories andread survivors’ tales, poetryand stories of communitieswho rose to protect theirJewish brethren from thehorrors the Nazis inflicted.

To end the event, CassieWilliams, an education and

musical theater major,sang the ballad “Prayer ofthe Children” a capella.

Kraver, who coordinat-ed the event, said she waspleased that people fromacross the UNC andGreeley communities par-ticipated in reading andsharing stories of survival.

While some of the readershad family or friends who hadbeen affected by theHolocaust, others came outof an interest in the Holocaustand what they can do to pre-vent more horrors like it fromever happening again.

“I’m a big fan of equali-ty, and the Holocaust was aheinous violation of that,”Neel said before readingher selections.

“Children are notafraid of what

adults are afraid ofsometimes.

It’s a Tuesday night indowntown Greeley, andthe intersection of 8thAvenue and 9th Street isquiet except for the tinybar facing 8th Avenueknown as Patrick’s IrishPub.

Every Tuesday, thepub is packed with fans ofThe Stubby Shillelaghsready to rock out to theoriginal Irish rock music.

The members of thelocal band are AndrewMithun, lead vocals;Shaughnessy McDaniel,guitar and back-upvocals; Ryan Knaub, bassand back-up vocals andJackie McConnell, fiddle.

They started the bandin October 2010, and theirfirst gig was at Patrick’s.They have since becomepopular all over the state.

8:50 p.m., Feb 21

All 40 seats have beentaken by fans in anticipa-tion for the band to startits show. Each window isfoggy, and every coat hascome off as people con-tinue to crowd into thepub.

The band membersand bartenders wear kiltsand black t-shirts. Theyare set up in a little nookthat sits behind the barwith walls decorated withalbum covers of classicand Irish rock bands. Thebartenders are furiouslyworking to fulfill drinkorders.

9:15 p.m.

Fifty people crowd

into the pub, and afterfree shots of Jameson’swhiskey are given out, thecrowd livens up a bit toenjoy fast-paced Irish jams.

“I think it’s about timeto play ‘Finnegan’s Wake,’”Mithun said. “I’m bettingon you old folks to educatethose new folk how we dothis (expletive).”

As the song begins,they are accompanied byeach person pounding onthe bar tops and tables.Everyone joins in the cho-rus. Once it ends, the fist-pounding is supposed topause with the music;anyone still pounding isexpected to take a drink.

11:30 p.m.

About 70 people havecrowded into Patrick’snow; the capacity of the baris more than 100 people.

Danny Ordal, a bar-tender, said sales haveskyrocketed since TheStubby Shillelaghs havebeen playing at the pub.

“Usually it is muchmore packed than this on aTuesday,” Ordal said. “It’sprobably because of theweather; a lot of people getscared away easily.”

11:45 p.m.

The band plays themost anticipated song ofthe night, “SevenDrunken Nights.”

It is a slow balladabout a man confrontinghis wife after discoveringon each day of the weekcertain items he does notown — a horse, a coat, apipe, a pair of boots,among others. Theupbeat chorus is the

wife’s response to eachitem he discovers.

People stand on thebenches of the boothsand barstools to cheer onthe band. Most sing dur-ing the fast-paced chorus,but everyone joinsMcDaniel for the lastverse.

“As I went home onSunday night as drunk asdrunk could be, I saw alad sneakin’ out the backat a quarter after three,”McDaniel sings. “Well, Icalled me wife, and I saidto her, ‘Will you kindlytell to me? Who was thatlad sneakin’ out theback, a quarter afterthree?’”

“‘Actually, I think itwas a quarter to three,’”Knaub sings.

When they reach thechorus, Ordal stuffs anapkin in his black shirtand joins Mithun in awhiskey-chugging con-test. After about 10 sec-onds, Mithun finishes hissecond bottle, whileOrdal gulps from a fullbottle of Jameson’s for a

good 15 seconds. Mithunfinishes the song.

“Ah, you’re drunk,you’re drunk, you silly oldfool, still you cannot see,”the lyrics go. “That’s anEnglish tax collector thatthe Queen had sent to me.Well, it’s many a day I’vetraveled a hundred milesor more, but an Englishman who could last tillthree, I’ve never seenbefore.”

12:10 a.m., Feb. 22

Mithun, slurringslightly, shares with thecrowd their plans torelease a l ive albumand a studio albumwithin the next threew e e k s .

“It’s thanks toPatrick’s for allowing abunch of drunken idiotsto form a band that’s nowwanted all over thestate,” he says. “Wewanna leave you with asong that puts a smile onyour face and a skip inyour step.”

The band ends ontheir cover of Monty

Python’s “Always LookOn the Bright Side ofLife.”

By the end of thenight, 64 people remain

to finish their beers whileThe Stubby Shillelaghsgather their equipment,proud of another pub-packed Tuesday night.

In a stark black-and-white photograph by JRSchneizer, a young boy,his rich, brown skin sweat-ing from sweltering heat,gazes at the audience fromthe bottom right-handcorner of the page.

In the image’s back-drop, the environment issurrounded by squalor —dilapidated huts, clotheslines and trash.

This melancholy pho-tograph, “Lost Boys,”priced at $325, was one of82 digital images on dis-play in the Mari MichenerGallery for a showing ofthe LovelandPhotographic Society’swork.

bers from Cheyenne,Wyo., Denver and Boulder.

Some members createart with the simplestpoint-and-shoot cameras,whereas others use themost advanced single-lensreflex cameras.

“By allowing us to showhere, you’ve allowed over45 photographers theopportunities to showtheir fruits and hardwork,” said TimHitchcock, the society’spresident.

The opening receptionfor the event, titled“Photography — TheDigital Age,” was Friday.It was put on by theFriends of UNC Libraries,and the display will rununtil May 5.

Brice Harbert, who hasbeen photographing land-scapes for 35 years, hastwo works in the gallery.

Harbert shoots on four-

by-five inch film, scans thefilm into his computer andmanipulates the image inPhotoshop to alter tonalities.

His “Gnarled Juniper,”priced at $375, presentsthe viewer with a twistedtree trunk, which leads theeye on a kind of roller-coaster ride to a barrenlandscape. The tree is jux-taposed to dominatingcloud coverage andmountains.

“I greatly enhanced thecontrast in the mountainsand darkened the fore-ground,” he said.

The show was a celebra-tion of digital art, and Harbertsaid he does not miss dark-room photography.

“There are someadvantages to film interms of shooting, butthere’s so much more youcan do in Photoshop toadjust the image,”Harbert sa id. “ I t ’s

great technology.”In one work, Sally

Erickson’s striking “WaterSprite,” a young girl, herlarge face and crookedsmile acting as the focalpoint, runs through asprinkler. Each drop isperfectly captured by aquick shutter. Her wet shirthangs unevenly around herright shoulder.

Erickson’s photo sellsfor $225.

When addressing theaudience, SheliaBolsover, a member of theFriends of UNC Libraries,commented on her lovefor various photographs.

“I’ve earmarked three —so don’t bid on those,” shejoked with the attendees.

The reception wascatered by gallery manag-er and Greeley artistColette Pitcher and hermother, Beth Irvine.Attendees were provided

with red velvet cup-cakes, cookies, fruitkabobs, juice and potstickers.

Minor league experience comes to baseball staffTARIQ MOHAMMAD

[email protected]

Each baseball gamebegins with a pitch. Theaction of firing a ball fromthe mound dictates every-thing, and with gamesrelying on such an imper-ative action, such a chiefposition, the men whotrain, guide and coachthat position are as impor-tant as the position itself.

“Our kids that comehere at UNC are thirsty forknowledge,” head baseballcoach Carl Iwasaki said.

The University ofNorthern Colorado base-ball team has an opportu-nity to quench that thirst,learning from two rela-tively new additions tothe coaching staff, both ofwhom have been aroundthe block once or twice.

The first welcomed wasRandall Dale Spiehs, who wasadded to the coaching staff inAugust. Spiehs — betterknown as R.D. by players andcoaches — spent seven years

playing for various teams atthe minor league level.Spiehs, who was drafted bythe San Francisco Giants in2001, has beenworking with theBears’ pitchersafter deciding toleave GraysonCounty College inSherman,Texas,where he led theVikings to theNational JuniorCollege AthleticAssociation WorldSeries in 2011.

“ P i t c h i n gand defense,whether its 12-year-old Little Leaguers,D-I athletes or guys in thebig leagues, pitching anddefense are the corner-stone to making theengine run,” Spiehs said.

Alongside Spiehs isPatrick Perry, who returned tohis alma mater in 2010, wherehe still holds records in dou-bles, total bases and RBIs.Along with his school records,Perry was also a Division IBaseball All-American and D-

I Independent Player of theYear in 2004. Perry was draft-ed after his junior season bythe Boston Red Sox as a

catcher in the sev-enth round of theMLB AmateurDraft and spentfive years playingin the minorleagues.

Both coachesbring the expe-rience andmentality of theminors to UNC.

“Both ofthose guys havebeen there at theD-I level but also

played at the professionallevel,” Iwasaki said. “That’sPat Perry and R.D. Spiehs;teachers first, coaches sec-ond. (Our players) can askall the questions they want.”

With professionals tolook up to, the Bears lookto improve and continueto grow and improve.

“We really work ontaking our time, taking itone pitch at a time,” sen-ior pitcher Nate

Steinmetz said. “We’renot worrying about any-thing else going on, notworrying about distrac-tions or whateverhappened before.”

Thinking a pitchat a time has trans-lated to wins forUNC (14-18) thisseason. The Bearsswept the New YorkInstitute ofTechnology thispast weekend byholding NYIT to tworuns or less in threegames of the four-game set as sevenpitchers combinedto allow just seven walkswhile striking out 27 battersin the series. Perry said, theteam needs to be able tofeel the joy of victory at anymoment during a game.

“It’s something theyhave to bottle up and callon,” Perry said. “This gameis easy to play when you’reahead and easy to play whenyou’re far, far behind. Theyhave to bottle it up andremember that good feeling

and call on that any time.”The Bears are excited to

have Spiehs and Perry, whobring experience to a key

position inbaseball. Withe x p e r i e n c eand credibili-ty, the coach-es said theybelieve theyhave a lot ofwisdom tospread fromtheir experi-ences aftercollege.

“I thinkthe fact thatR.D. and I

both played pro ball givesus a certain amount ofcredibility with the kids,”Perry said. “Us (sic) havingbeen there — and moreimportantly failed — wecan call on the failures wehad in our careers andhopefully give these kids abetter opportunity to suc-ceed.”

Spiehs and Perry mightnot be with the Bears forev-er, but Iwasaki said the two

teachers look to continueto develop players, givingthem the chance to achieveas much as they can.

“This is a great steppingstone for them,” Iwasakisaid. “I don’t feel this willbe a stop for them, for 10to 15 years. I’d love it to be,but coaches like Spiehsand Perry — my job is toget them to the big jobs. Toget them to be head coach-es, and that’s my mission. Iwant these guys to be headcoaches.”

R.D. Spiehs was named the SanFrancisco Giants2011 best lateround draft pick.

Patrick Perry was drafted by theRed Sox in theseventh round in2004.

Hypnotist controls students’ minds, learns hidden secrets TESSA BYRNS

[email protected]

Students were treatedto the supernaturalTuesday night as a hyp-notist controlled theminds of multiple volun-teers in the UniversityCenter Ballrooms.

The Residence HallAssociation put on a pres-entation by Jim Wand, afamous hypnotist whohas appeared on a num-ber of TV specials forComedy Central andother major TV networks.

“There are three thingsthat can prevent someonefrom achieving a hypnoticstate,” Wand said. “One isthat they really don’t wantto be hypnotized. If you

don’t want to then you’renot going to. Two is thatthe person doesn’t have ahigh enough intellect, andthree is that the person istrying too hard to be putunder hypnosis.”

Before Wand put the19 students on stage andeven a few audiencemembers in their hypno-sis, Wand had the audi-ence participate in a sus-ceptibility exercise todetermine whether or notthey were eligible to behypnotized.

Wand then directedthe 19 students to begin anumber of different activ-ities. He had the partici-pants imagine they werein a casino playing for thecar of their choice with a

unique accessory.Many of the answers were

highly entertaining, but thetwo that received the greatestapplause were the audiencemember playing for aDelorean with a flux capacitorand the audience memberplaying for a Bat Mobile.

Wand had the partici-pants win their cars and driveoff, hitting a cop car and thenspeeding away. He then hadthe participants pulled overby the police and when thewinners were caught, Wandhad them come up withstrange but creative excusesfor why were speeding.

The answers ranged from“I forgot to shave,” “Grandmais dead, and I needed to makeit to the funeral” and “I’mblack.”

“It was like someone elsewas in control of you and all Icould focus on was Wand’svoice,” said Sarah Kelley, asophomore elementary edu-cation major. “I couldn’t real-ly see anything either. It wasall blurry.”

Audience membersresponded highly to the hyp-notist’s performances withthe students.

“I thought it was fun-nier because I knewsomeone who was onstage doing all the weirdstuff he was telling themto do,” said Aaron Small,a sophomore Englishmajor.

Other audience mem-bers agreed Wand pos-sesses a unique gift butare still skeptical how

someone can control oth-ers’ minds like that.

“I thought it was odd,and I’m a little freaked

out that Wand can dothat,” said Brona McGery,a sophomore elementaryeducation major.


Hypnotist Jim Ward questions UNC students abouttheir dream car after hypnotizing them during his per-formance Tuesday in the UC Ballrooms.
