Swimming to Greeley A young swimmer from China breaks UNC records
By Crystal White ’08
University of Northern Colorado’s swimming sensation sophomore Nan Liu began swimming 14 years ago in Da- lian—a harbor city in northern China— and she’s made swimming a part of her life ever since. The first Chinese woman to be a member of the UNC team, Liu currently holds all-time UNC records with a time of 55:91 in the 100-meter butterfly and 2:01.96 in the 200-meter butterfly. When the UNC swimming and div- ing team competed in the Colorado State University Early Bird Invitational with 10 other schools, Liu competed in several medleys. With three individual victories, she helped lead the team to fourth place at the meet. “Nan stands out because she is so fast and her un- derwater technique is so powerful,” says teammate Chesney Randolf, a junior journalism major. Liu, 20, grew up in China with her mother, Wenqiang Liu, an engineer at a boat manufacturing company, and named Most Outstanding Athlete by the food; however, she says Chipotle her father, Shumei Liu, a craftsman the Liao Ning Province. burritos are becoming a favorite U.S. Nan Liu currently of fishing products.

UNC Men’s Basketball is on the Rise The UNC men’s basketball team gained a lot of attention around campus after its impressive win against Denver University, and hope rose even higher after the club managed an upset win against rival Colorado State. In a tense game, the Bears outlasted the Rams, and with a few clutch free throws, they sealed the deal in front of a capacity crowd of 2,759 fans at Butler-Hancock Sports Pavilion. “The win against CSU was definitely a watershed moment for our program,” says Coach Tad Boyle, who is in his second season with UNC. “It really showed that we belong in Division I, and that we have the ability to compete with anyone at this level.” The Bears proved themselves worthy early in the season with a number of wins in Greeley. With key players like junior forward Jabril Banks (.641 from the field) and sophomore guard Will Figures (10-15 from three-point range) stepping up, any player could have a big night. “I like our balance,” Boyle says. “We don’t have a star system and anyone can step up and contribute any given night.” As the season progresses, this balanced attack will be tested as the Bears head out for a four-game road trip that features a challenging match against perennial college basketball power- Tad Boyle led the house Gonzaga. “As a coach, you don’t prep any differently for Gonzaga than you do Bears to a strong start for Johnson and Wales. You just go out there and implement your game plan,” Boyle in his second season says. “But the fact that teams like that are on our schedule is very exciting. Being a as head coach. Division I team allows us to go out and compete with storied programs like that.” After two big wins and a successful homestand, the Bears are looking toward the upcoming Big Sky Conference games, but are careful not to get too ahead of themselves. “In December, you learn a lot about your team, but January is when you get it done,” says Boyle. “Right now we just want to get better everyday.” With this much potential, the Bears have a great chance to do just that. — Josh Rhoten ’08
Soccer
Women’s Soccer Completes High-Caliber Season No one could have predicted a championship-caliber season for the UNC women’s soccer team when it began by losing the first four games. But by the end of the season, the team was riding high as it beat Northern Arizona in the final home game to clinch a trip to the Big Sky Tournament for the first time in school history. “We started out 0-4, and I was proud of how our players kept working at it and stuck with it,” says Coach Tim Barrera. “I think our players learned that they could do well in this league as long as they played hard every game.” The turnaround came for the Bears in late October when they won three games in a row, including wins over conference rivals Eastern Washington and Montana. From there, the Bears posted a 3-2-2 record in conference play and became an undeniable force in the league, even- tually earning a berth in the Big Sky Tournament. Senior Megan Miller (#14) was named The trip to the tournament proved a fruitful to both the Big Sky one, as the team knocked out Weber State in All-Conference and the first round, avenging a one-goal loss from All-Tournament teams. earlier in the year.

UNC’s Jazz Press Provides Music to Many Among UNC’s Jazz Program’s strengths is something not many schools can boast—a fully functioning/publishing arm. In fact, the UNC Jazz Press is one of the largest jazz presses in the world. “We have 3,000 titles in our catalog by about 400 composers,” says Dave Stamps, the associate director of Jazz Studies. Those titles are available for college, high school and middle school jazz ensembles to purchase for use in performances. “Another way UNC’s Jazz Studies is recognized is through the press,” Stamps says. “When people order a chart, they see that it comes from UNC.” Not only does the Jazz Press publish music for bands to perform, but it also publishes some of the school’s own recorded performances. The most recent is from Lab Band 1, titled “Here in the Now,” a collection of nine songs sent to Down Beat magazine for award consideration.

Northern Vision < University of Northern Colorado > 13 The Center for Honors, Scholars and Leadership challenges students to go beyond education to think for themselves A HIGHER LEARNING
BY JENNIFER STARBUCK n Photographs By Erik Stenbakken
To find yourself, think for yourself. This quote is often attributed to ancient Greek philosopher Socrates as spoken during his trial on charges of corrupting young minds. And while his defense failed—he was condemned to death—Socrates’ ideas became the base for Western philoso- phy and law. Some 2,400 years later, Socrates’ ideas have found a home at UNC’s Center for Honors, Scholars and Leadership. “To find yourself, think for yourself” is the center’s motto. Just talking to the students and faculty involved provides a strong and immediate sense of how real Socrates’ quote is at the center.

A University of Northern Colorado professor and her doctor (Dr. Susan Cart- er) faced a dilemma 12 years ago. Sport and exercise science professor Carole Sch- neider experienced debilitating fatigue af- ter undergoing treatment for cancer. They suspected moderate exercise could make Schneider feel better. At the time, little or no research had been published about dealing with the physical side effects of cancer treatment. So, Schneider and Cart- er had to break new ground—Schneider experimenting with what kind of exercise increased her mobility and energy, and Carter overseeing this innovative treat- ment for cancer-related fatigue.

Transforming Cancer Patients The American Cancer Society estimates that, in 2007, 1.4 million people in the United States were diagnosed with cancer and 560,000 people died of the disease. Although the incidence of cancer is increasing, the mor- tality rates for certain kinds of cancer have decreased. More people are surviving cancer and living years after their diagnosis and treatment. Bob Hessler of Greeley is one of the cancer survivors benefiting from the RMCRI program. The 61-year-old had a stroke shortly after he retired in 2002. Not long af-

They also agree that the scholarship meant Pictured from left are Glenn and Clarice Davis even more after meeting the Davises in person. “Meeting 1945 with scholarship recipients Helen Hopper the people who fund my scholarship really makes me want Taylor White and Lois Reed Philippone to try harder to get better grades,” Mares says.

James Adams Jim Agee PROFILE Joe and Tammy Alexander Vergie Amendola Mike Applegate Michelle Athanasiou Robert Brunswig Jr. Lori Ball director of the School of Social Sciences and Marilyn Banta anthropology professor Ben Barnhart Tim Barrera PROFESSOR BOB BRUNSWIG believes so much in the students and the faculty that make up the Denise Battles University of Northern Colorado, he puts his own money behind them. Brunswig, who is the director of Bob Baxley the School of Social Sciences and an anthropology professor at Jill Bellendir Jonathan Bellman UNC, contributes money to student scholarships in the anthro- Barry Benson pology program. The fund was set up several years ago by some Ann Bentz faculty members as a way to support outstanding students, and Linda Black now, Brunswig says, almost every faculty member gives to the Kathryn Blair Gayle Bohrer fund—and that truly says something about the staff’s commit- Diane Bolden-Taylor ment to education. Jack Boynton Brunswig says he supports the scholarship program because Amanda Brian students throughout the years have become an extension of his Sean Broghammer Sara Brown family, and he wants to see them do well in life. He keeps in Robert Brunswig Jr. contact with many students long after graduation, often hiring Jill Burkey them for research projects. “It’s important to encourage students Linda Carbajal to get a quality education and develop an enthusiasm for what Diane Cays Donni Clark they want to do,” Brunswig says. “That gives me tremendous Susan Collins satisfaction. That lifelong connection and commitment just keeps Laura Connolly going on.” Shannon Courtney Brunswig and his wife, Becky, also make it a point to support Brenda Cozzens Mary Crepeau-Hobson the junior faculty members, who often need encouragement Galen Darrough when they start out in their careers. The $1,000 award lets junior faculty know that the Brunswigs are root- Pam Davis ing for them. “As we progress in our careers and experience some success, I think that it’s important to David Diggs give back. All senior faculty should consider it,” Brunswig says. “The university has given us a lot over the Jacalyn Dougherty Carolyn Edwards years, even though it’s a rough road sometimes, but I still think that our people deserve our support.”
