Benjamin Franklin was onceasked whether or not Americawas a republic or a monarchy. Tothis he replied, “A republic, if youcan keep it.”
President Kay Norton mim-icked Franklin’s statement during
The 2010 State of the UniversityAddress by identifying the crucialstate of UNC.
“It is a precious thing we can doat UNC, if we can keep it,” she said.
Norton gave the address during aluncheon Tuesday in the UniversityCenter Ballrooms. The presidentprovided optimism and new ideas tolighten situations of darkness: the
November elections, the currenteconomic situation, state fundingand many other future obstacles.
“As we look forward, and I usethis term loosely, is there a reasonfor despair?” Norton said, referringto the November elections. “Only ifyou put your faith in fairy tales; only

Mirror Reflections are the opinion of The Mirror’s editorial board: Josh Espinoza, Jordan Freemyer, Eric Heinz, Melanie Vasquez and Ruby White. Let us know
what you think. E-mail us at [email protected].
Competitors come and go, yetthe journalism profession typicallyremains the same. But when theenvironment changes and collegestudents are forced to make adjust-ments, preserving the practice canbe very difficult.
Recently, our competitor, TheUNC Connection, closed its doors.It is still uncertain why. While somemay see this as an asset to TheMirror, the warning remains thesame: newspapers continue to beon shaky grounds.
How do we stop this hemor-rhage of potential, passionatemedia students leaving to pursueother fields when they could havebeen masters of the craft? The only
way to continue the supply of well-written, solid news stories is toemphasize scrupulous coverage ofthe issue at hand, instead of memo-rizing readers with speculation.
Like a business, a newspapermust sustain its revenue in order tothrive. In an economy that cripplessmall businesses, let alone largerenterprises, the availability ofadvertising revenue is hard to comeby, which is the bloodline of anymedia organization. This may notbe the reason why The UNCConnection closed, but it is the sit-uation for many other publications.
College newspapers rely heavilyon student fees to function at aminimal level, but they need adver-
tising to continue weekly or dailyproduction. The costs of printingcannot be compensated with stu-dent fees. In order to maintain a tra-ditional-style newspaper, the con-tent must be flawless, carefully edit-ed, interesting and in good taste.
Unfortunately, large media out-lets, such as Fox News, MSNBC andCNN, have distorted the standardsthey should have preserved formedia students by putting audi-ence and ratings before informativeand vital news. If the reporting isthere, the audience will follow.
Any hope for newspapers mustcome from the deliverance of solidand well-researched stories,instead of blowing the flavor of the
month out of proportion. Studentsmust take it upon themselves tobecome the better future mediarepresentatives and gatekeepers.Without putting the classroom topractice, students are not onlydoing themselves a disservice, butto the community they may oneday report for.
Journalism is undoubtedlychanging, and students who wereonce comfortable with writing,video packaging and other areas ofmedia study must now becomeskilled in all the areas of the newsprofession. It is imperative for stu-dents to keep the pursuit of goodreporting imbedded within theirambitions.

One of my textbookshas not been crackedopen this semester. I
feel guilty about this, notbecause I have trouble keepingup in the class the book accom-panies (I’m really not), norbecause I am worried abouthurting the book’s feelings, butbecause I spent $120 on thebook. $120! And I bought itused! When my professor pro-fessed that the book is arequirement for the course, howwas I to know that the lectures
would be more detailed ver-sions of the text chapters? Howwas I to know that my $120,which can be almost doubled bythe time I pay off my loans,would go to waste?
Here’s the story on text-books, according to my under-standing: Unlike the consumerpublishing business, textbookconsumers, that is to say stu-dents, are required (or “stronglyencouraged”) to purchase theproduct. Because we are notgiven any other options, pricedoes not enter into our purchas-ing decision. We fight againstthe cost, somewhat weakly, byselling our books at the end ofthe semester for less than 50percent of the original price.Textbook publishers then fight
back against us by publishingnew editions every two or threeyears. We’re not fooled. Neweditions often have little morethan a new cover and a handfulof “supplemental” materials,bundled with the book as a wayto jack up the price even fur-ther.
For less than the sum priceof my required textbooks, Icould have bought a shiny newlaptop computer, with access tothe World Wide Web. We mightcall that the largest textbook inhistory, and we can certainlycall it more interesting than theMath for Liberal Arts book. It’snot our fault that isn’t a faircomparison.
Better yet, if students andinstructors embrace digital
texts, we can save money. Forthe price of one semester’sphysical books, we could evenpurchase an E-book reader likethe Kindle. As a bonus, wewouldn’t have to lug 30 poundsof books around, saving us yearsof back problems without hav-ing to push around one of thoselittle suitcases. Because thosethings just look silly.
The nice thing about sillybags, unlike textbooks, is thatwe have choices when it comesto our consumption. And if Ihad a silly bag, you can bet Iwould use it. Unlike that $120useless trash I bought a monthago.

Students looking to gain a com-petitive edge in the job marketgathered Monday in MilneAuditorium in Kepner Hall to lis-ten to best-selling author andexecutive coach Debra Bentonimpart her business wisdom.
Benton presented her lecturetitled “Your Turn at Bat,” which wasgeared toward teaching studentsextra skills for thinking and actinglike a Corporate Executive Officer.She said one of her greatest mis-sions in life is to help others do well.
“People who feel adequatelook like they expect acceptance,”Benton said. “And then they get it— it’s that simple. If you lookundaunted, comfortable, confi-dent and competent, they will takeyou that way, and they want to bearound those kinds of people.”
The key points to Benton’slecture were methods to boost aperson’s confidence and obtainthe assurance of success in theworkplace. She said doing whatothers don’t do is essential tostanding out in a pool of candi-dates and landing a job. The“Your Turn at Bat” title symbol-ized handing the reigns of leader-ship to a new generation.
“CEOs feel just as insignifi-cant as you do,” Benton said.“They are just more experienced
at camouflaging it.”In addition to advice on atti-
tude, Benton also utilized presen-tation and posture lessons to pro-vide an example of impressionand confidence. She said they wayan applicant is dressed is alsoimportant; an outfit should nothave more personality than theone wearing it.
“If you put yourself at a higherlevel, people will take you asdeserving to be there,” Bentonsaid. “Too often, young peoplelooking for their first job out of theuniversity (act too modest)because they need the job. You’remore likely to get it if you look andact a higher level.”
Benton also worked with AppleCEO Steve Jobs early in her career.
“Confidence is something Ineed to work on, but now I knowfeeling sufficient is one of themost useful tools to finding andsecuring a job,” said SusanGreene, a junior business major.
Benton has interviewed hun-dreds of CEOs and top execu-tives throughout her career toresearch how they achievedtheir success.
Benton has written eightbooks. Her most recent publica-tion is “CEO Material: How to be aLeader in Any Organization,” andshe has published works in Forbesmagazine, the New York Timesand others.

The audience at theCorduroy Comedy ShowSunday night had plenty of rea-sons to literally laugh out loud.Thirteen sketches performedby the 10 cast members neverceased to keep the audiencerolling throughout the entireperformance.
Three UNC students found-ed the comedic group in 2009.Zach Twardowski, a graduatestudent pursuing a master’s inEnglish, was one of thefounders and is still a member.He said their performance onSunday was one of their bestshows to date.
“Everybody was really intoit,” Twardowski said. “It was agreat performance as far as
energy between the crowd andon stage. There was never a dullmoment.”
In future sketches,Twardowski said the group isplanning on incorporatingmore multimedia.
Tetrianna Silas, a sopho-more musical theater major,said she really enjoyed being apart of the audience andthought it was really funny.
“I think this is an importantevent to have on campus toeducate people who aren’t inthe fine arts about differentevents,” she said. “I think thishelps the university grow as awhole.”
Heidi Cheek, a senior actingmajor and Corduroy member,said the turnout was great andthat their new cast membersare the perfect additions to the
group. She also said events likethis are vital to campus life.
“It’s free, we have a musicalguest, it’s safe and it’s some-thing everyone can enjoy,”Cheek said.
Anyone interested in being afeatured musical guest, eitherlocal band or solo acts, cancontact Corduroy members [email protected] group is also available tobe booked for events both onand off campus and can bereached via e-mail.

Talents tested, students entertained during Open Mic NightJOANNA LANGSTON
a r t s @ u n c m i r r o r . c o m
The hefty crowd at theUniversity Center Monday nightreveled in the festivities of Open
Mic Night, flowing freely with wine(of course by wine, we meanStarbucks), women and song. Inthe ever-delightful presence ofyouthful exuberance, songs gaveflight, poets were born and deprav-
ity ran its twisted theme through-out the evening’s acts.
The night started off with a duetof The Prayer, originally sung bysuch greats as Josh Groban, CelineDion and Charlotte Church. Theperformers rendered the songbeautifully, followed by a couple ofother equally sweet acts. Thencame the debauchery. Dirty jokes,raunchier songs and lascivious cat-calls filled the air as the party reallygot started. Joining in the rambunc-tious antics were Starbucksemployees, getting their groove onbetween beverages.
Rik Patenade, a junior graphicdesign major and Starbucksemployee, shared his evening’shighlights.
“Buddah was awesome, and sowas the last one,” Patenade said,referring to a lewd lyricist and a
rock duo who performed an excel-lent rendition of “Hit the RoadJack” before moving into a moremellow ode to love. “I thought theywere pretty good. I had a lot of fun.”
Walter Booth, a freshman actingmajor, was the comedian toppedwith a mop of curly red hair; he hadbut to speak and the crowd washooked. The scrawny young soldierwith a shirt of bright saffron, par-layed joke after joke with a naturalease.
Describing an inebriated scene,Booth told the audience “(He) wasso drunk you could see the mosqui-toes flying around him getting intofights and having unprotected sex. Iknow what you’re thinking:Mosquitoes can have protectedsex? Well you’d be surprised howsmall they make condoms. Thatguys know what I’m talking about,”
pointing to a random audiencemember. Booth was no stranger tothe event, but it was his first timeonstage.
David San Miguel, a freshmanacting performance major, was alsoa huge hit that evening. He hadmade waves at the previous gather-ing with his delightful nerd songabout revenge on his enemies, andenchanted the audience once morewith a couple of comedic carols,before laying down the smack withhis haunting ballad about sweetlove on the beach — not the kindyou’re thinking.
“I’ve never sung anything thisserious in front of so many peoplebefore,” San Miguel said. “It was alittle nerve wracking.”
One can only imagine theamusements in store at the nextgathering, Monday, Oct. 4 at 9pm.

The UNC volleyball team willstart a five-match homestandThursday night againstSacramento State.
The University of NorthernColorado is the hottest team inthe conference as it will go intoThursday’s matchup winners of11 out of its last 12 matches.
The Hornets (7-8, 0-0) are ona two-match skid, and will have
the daunting task of cominginto Butler-Hancock SportsPavilion for their first Big SkyConference match of the sea-son. UNC (11-3, 2-0) is 6-0 on itshome floor this season.
“Sacramento State has somestrong outside hitters; and withthis game going to be their firstconference game, we know theyare going to be ready to go,” sen-ior outside hitter AshleyLichtenberg said.
The two big hitters for the
Hornets are sophomore JanelleCurrey, and junior Eryn Kirby, aseach average over three kills perset. Currey leads the team with204 kills on the year.
For Bears’ coach LyndseyBenson, it’s not SacramentoState’s offense that she thinks willbe key in Thursday’s game.
“I know they’ll be pretty simi-lar to last year’s team, whichmeans they’ll be strong defen-sively,” Benson said. “We havetwo really good hitters that they
won’t be able to key on just oneof them.”
UNC’s dynamic duo of sopho-more outside hitter Kelly Arnoldand senior hitter Lichtenberg willbe key in getting the offense start-ed early and often. Arnold leadsthe Bears in kills with 192, withLichtenberg second with 172.
The five straight matches athome are huge for UNC right nowwith the amount of minor injuriesthe team has suffered thus far.The Bears will only play three
matches in the next two weeks,headlined by Colorado State com-ing into town on Tuesday.
“It is relaxing to not have suchquick turnarounds from game togame with practices in between,”sophomore defensive specialistJill Dawson said.
The Bears and SacramentoState will get underway at 7 p.m.Thursday at Butler-HancockSports Pavilion, and UNC willlook to continue its early successin the Big Sky Conference.

UNC senior fullback DerekPalmer has a daily routine that
would makea day with an8 a.m. laband threeother classesseem like abreeze.
Palmer, who is workingtoward a degree in businessadministration, has his obliga-tions to classes and football, buthe also has a full-time job and hasto support a family.
Palmer and his wife, Jayna,met as freshmen in high schooland were married six days beforehe turned 18. Since then, theyhave had two boys, Dante andBrogan, and a girl, Nevaeh, ages4, 2, and 4 months, respectively.To support his family, Palmermakes time to manage a Sonicrestaurant.
After beginning as a walk-on,Palmer has seen time as a line-backer, defensive lineman, line-
backer again, tight end and nowfullback. For his hard work anddedication to the team, Palmerwas awarded with a scholarshipat the beginning of the year.University of Northern Coloradohead coach Scott Downing saidPalmer deserved the scholarshipbecause of his dedication andcontributions to the team, as wellas because of how trying his dailylife can be.
“Here’s a young man who’smarried and has three kids. He’sgot a full-time job, going toschool full-time, and he’s playingfootball full-time,” Downing said.“Now I don’t know how manyhours you got in a day, but he’sprobably full for about 23 and ahalf when he’s working full-time,so we thought he warranted ascholarship because of every-thing that he’s brought to thetable. He’s the epitome of ayoung man that you’re reallyproud of and want him to be apart of your team.”
Palmer said he was verygrateful for the scholarship andhow much it has helped his
family.“That was definitely great,”
he said. “That helps me in moreways than just one about beinga football player. That helpswith my family, time at home,time sleeping, and really it wasjust great to focus more onschool, on football, and on myfamily, of course.”
Teammates said they respectPalmer more than anybody elseon the team because of howmuch is on his plate and how wellhe handles it all.
“From my point of view, beinga football player and a student-athlete is hard,” senior line-backer John Eddy said. “I’ll havemornings where I wake up and Igot to go to weights, I’ll startthinking of excuses and wantingto hit the snooze button, andthen I think about the fact thatDerek Palmer probably woke upat 4 a.m. to go unload a truck atSonic, and he’s working full-time, got kids, doing what I do,and it just makes me think if hecould do that, then I should beable to pull my weight.”
Senior safety Max Hewittexpressed the same sentiments.
“He isthe epitomeof a greatteammate,”he said.“And I’vetold peoplethis before, Ihave theu t m o s trespect forDerek. I’ven e v e rr e s p e c t e danyone the
way I do him because he doeshave quite the life off the fieldthat he has to take care of and hehas to be responsible for.”
Palmer said he does the besthe can to keep everything in line,but it’s a tough job.
“Time management is defi-nitely key,” Palmer said. “I losea good amount of sleep, and Ialso prioritize the best I can onnights where I maybe have tostudy I skip because I have to goto work.”
Palmer also said he is honoredto be respected by his team-mates, but he only tries to be thebest teammate he can be with hisactions on and off the field.
“I’m glad to be a part of thisteam and help however I can,”Palmer said. “If I influence some-body along the way, that’s greattoo because they influence me.”
Hewitt said Palmer has a greatinfluence on every player in thelocker room because of his workethic on and off the field and ded-ication to everything in his life.
“We talk about leadership allthe time, and it’s not necessarilythe best player who’s making themost plays on the field, butsomeone who does things rightall the time, and that’s Derek,”Hewitt said. “He never takes aplay off, never takes a snap off,works his butt off in the weightroom, obviously works his buttoff, off the field, trying to supporthis family. He sets an examplefor the younger guys and eventhe older guys. If we had every-one be a little more like Derek,we’ll be all right.”
Derek Palmersaid that timemanagement andprioritizing are criti-cal in his busy life.

University takes new financial angle
if you think that the hero (…) on thewhite horse is going to come save us.If you believe instead in what hap-pens at UNC as I do, you can still bean optimist.”
Norton also identified the leapsand bounds the University ofNorthern Colorado has made dur-ing the past year, from increasingenrollment 2 percent and offeringmore than $20 million in scholar-ships, as well as the implementa-tion of other programs. It was notuntil later on in her speech whenshe discussed a $3.5 million loss infunding this year.
Norton challenged everyone toremember what the university’s roleis, what it produces and to committo examine university spendinginstead of slashing employment.
“We have at UNC, by history,by tradition, by size, maybe evenby location, the opportunity to bethe quintessence of what is greatabout American higher educa-tion,” she said.
Francie Murry, a UNC profes-sor of special education, andMichael Todd Allen, assistantprofessor of psychology, bothattended the speech and are partof the Faculty Senate.
Murry and Allen said theythought Norton’s speech was inspi-rational and optimistic yet realistic.
Murry said the president “hit itright on the head,” and he is lookingforward to implementing her newideas and creative measures for han-dling the financial situation.
In addition, both expressed a lit-tle bit of concern.
“There is always the worry of
how you are going to cut back anddeal with the loss of funding fromthe state, as they say the ‘devils ofthe details,’” Allen said.
Linda Allen, professor of com-munication, was one of the few whoasked questions during the lunch-eon. Allen said she was touched byhow deeply the president caresabout UNC and how she puttingtogether a collaborative processesfor generating new ideas.
“I think President Norton real-ly espoused the key differencethat we have as educators, andthat is the difference betweensimply training and learning theskills to do something, versusembodying the (transformation-al) experience that comes fromthinking, discovering, creating,imagining and organizing ourknowledge,” Linda Allen said.
