Mirror Reflections are the opinion of The Mirror’s editorial board: Parker Cotton, Spencer Duncan, Samantha Fox, Sarah Kirby and Conor McCabe. Let us know what you think. E-mail us at [email protected].

Almost two weeks ago now, thebricks of Kepner Hall were treatedto a bit of chalk graffiti courtesy ofwhat appeared to be students ofFrasier Hall.

And it’s only being speculationthat it was because of Frasier stu-dents because it was signed“Frasier Rules.” Above that,though, was: “Music gives to socie-ty. (Expletive) you snobs! Trust-fund babies.”

It’s unclear as to how or whythis tension arose, but it’s evident-ly there for a reason.

Before going further, it shouldbe pointed out that the editorialstaff of The Mirror is made up of ajournalism major, a studio artmajor, an English graduate stu-dent and two journalism and soci-

ology double-majors, so we on thestaff don’t have a horse in thisrace, as the saying goes, nor do wecondone the actions made or yetto be made by either party.

That said, it’s unfortunate tosee this kind of hostility betweenthe groups of students that occupythe two buildings involved, whichare primarily business and musicmajors.

College students have enoughto worry about at this point in lifethan to create petty argumentswith other students. To do so qual-ifies as “horizontal violence,” asociological term that describespeople of relatively equal standingalienating themselves from eachother because of some sort of con-flict.

Whatever the reason is for theFrasier v. Kepner tension, whetherlegitimate or not, is unclear at thispoint. But for the sake of the stu-dents involved, it should beresolved soon.

College students experience alot of stress already with that paperdue next week, a problem athome, keeping a boyfriend or girl-friend relationship going and try-ing to find time for work and sleep.The last thing students need is tocreate more problems for them-selves and for others dealing withthe same situations. No good willcome of it.

Additionally, the stereotypingof other students will do no good.Not everyone who has all theirclasses in Kepner has a trust fund,

and so what if they do?Money can only take someone

so far. It takes hard work and talentto really succeed. It doesn’t matterwhat major someone is or whatkind of money they have.

What matters is what one doeswith that major or how one utilizesthat money or makes up for theirlack of it.

To quote English clergymanGeorge Herbert, “Living well is thebest revenge.” Take that to mean,take care of you first and worryabout others later. What they dowith their lives doesn’t matter;what you do with yours is what’simportant.

To add to that, calm down. Lifeis too short to concern yourselfwith, and be critical of, others.

Horizontal violence among students not necessary in long run

What is going onwith college foot-ball?

No, I’m not talking about theBears’ less-than-deplorableexcuse for an athletic assemblywhose mediocrity rivals that ofthe latest box office hit includingNicholas Cage.

I’m talking about scandals,under-the-table deals, perform-ance enhancing drugs and shallwe refer to the most recent atroci-ty as “Sandusky”?

I have been watching collegefootball for almost two decades. Ican still produce the burst of arbi-trary emotion that came over mewhile my dad distributed his pas-sion and love for NebraskaCornhuskers football to me andmy brothers. Saturday was gameday.

As much as I miss the sound ofthe occasional cheer coming frommy living room, I often smile atrecollections of picking up ourspirits, shattered, much like theshattered hopes of several disap-pointing seasons.

A lousy record is one thing, amajor bummer at first, but I can-not imagine the pain that isinflicted upon players, coaches,fans and students when a team is

found to be associated with crimi-nal activity.

Obviously, I will not associatedirty recruiting or performanceenhancing drugs with such horrif-ic and evil acts such that werefound to be occurring at PennState, however, I will lower myhead in shame at each case.

Ohio State, USC and PennState are just a few of the institu-tions that have been penalized fortheir misconduct in recent years,but is it really fair to punish an 18year-old who worked his butt offto get to said school, after thealleged incident? Why are wepunishing the players, fans andstaff who were never, or are nolonger, associated?

The disciplinary policies

including restrictive recruiting,bowl game ineligibility and mediascrutiny are outlandish and sym-bolic of unnecessary control.

The NCAA needs to punish theguilty and leave the innocent alone.No college institution, as a whole,is guilty of these atrocities. Quitpursuing attempts to punish theinnocent and quit being cowardly.

Press legal actions against thosewho are out of line and leave therest of the institution alone.

Consider this my formal com-plaint to Mark A. Emmert, presi-dent of the National CollegiateAthletics Association.

With the bid day ceremo-ny at 5 p.m. tonight in theUniversity Center Ballrooms,sorority recruitment comesto a close and marks the offi-

cial end of panhellenic for-mal recruitment.

For the past week, fivesocial sororities on campushave offered a full scheduleof events to meet and get toknow attendees.

The week of formalrecruitment for theNational PanhellenicCouncil began with orien-tation Sept. 11. The atten-dees then had a casual din-ner Sept. 13, which provid-

ed a chance for the mem-bers to get to know eachother.

On Friday night, theattendees traveled aroundcampus to take a tour ofeach chapter house at UNC,which included AlphaOmicron Pi, Alpha Phi,Alpha Sigma Alpha, DeltaZeta and Sigma Kappa.

Although each house isdifferent, the members allshare the desire to give back

through the community.Every sorority dedicates anumber of service hours tothe philanthropic cause ofits choice throughout theyear. As part of recruitment,attendees were able to meetwith each house to hearmembers discuss theirsorority’s service opportuni-ties.

Sunday’s Preference Teamarked the last day of recruit-ment for potential new mem-bers. Attendees were able tomeet with their top two hous-es for a formal, serious meet-ing to get to know the tradi-tions of the chapter.

“(Preference Tea) is aglimpse into each of thechapter’s rituals, and it isthe last chance for the chap-ters to talk to the potentialnew members before bidday,” said Jolene Aragon,vice president of externalaffairs for NPC.

Each sorority has theirown rituals that differentiatethem from each other.According to the Greek Lifepage, “Ritual emphasizes theinternational organizations’values and the commitmentthat the member made

when becoming a brother orsister.”

Aragon said the ritualsare very secretive to eachrespective sorority, even tothe extent that students out-side of recruitment do notknow exactly what goes onat Preference Tea.

This last formal eventends recruitment. Both thesororities and attendees

must mutually agree onjoining the chapter. If thesorority would like to offeran attendee a bid, thepotential new member maypick up their invitation atthe UC today.

Bids will be handed outfrom 11 a.m. - 2 p.m. stu-dents should go to the UCtoday to receive their invita-tion to join a chapter.

Fiber optic installation shines on in MarianiWILL [email protected]

Light imagery intertwinedwithin a sea of cob websmakes Wen-Shu Lai‘s instilla-tion, “Through the Wrinkles IImagine” seem as though oneis submerged in a dimly litwonderland.

More than 100 studentspacked into the hall to hearLai speak at the CentennialRoom in Brown Hall Sept. 13on the opening of her newfiber optic installation.

The theme behind herinstallation is “through thewrinkles of light, artistic spiritis lit.”

Lai is an assistant profes-sor at National Chiao TungUniversity in Taiwan. Shegraduated with a degree indesign from the University ofIowa and went on to teachdesign at Angelo StateUniversity in San Angelo,Texas from 2001-04.

Her first solo exhibition

featured, “The Fragments ofImages,” was in 2007. Hersecond installation wascalled, “Light From Within,”and was put on display in theHonggah Museum in Taipei,Taiwan in 2010.

Lai showed a slide showdisplaying a multitude of herwork, as well as the multi-stepprocess that she goes throughin creating an installation.

Lai says she finds inspira-tion in numerous differentfacets of life including film,books, nature and most fre-quently, light.

“Her presentation mademe feel really captivated byher sense of harmony withnature, and with life in gener-al,” said Bree Nosal, a seniorvisual arts major from UNC.

Patrick Geddes, who was aScottish biologist, sociologist,geographer and philanthro-pist, had a huge influence onLai and her work. Lai quotedGeddes in one of her slidesstating, “By living we learn,

by learning we think.”Lai said another huge

influence in her work is thefilm “Fahrenheit 451,” partic-ularly the light imagery usedthroughout the film.

Lai said she does not mindif people do not share hersame vision in her art.

“A lot of my work is morefor myself,” she said.

Not to mention the factthat she has a wonderfullycharismatic personality thatthe audience seemed toappreciate.

Standing at just over fivefeet, Lai joked, “I am small,but my ideas are kinda big.”

Sarah Winder, a seniorgraphic design major, foundLai’s lecture to be “very inspi-rational.”

“I really liked the way sheused different mediums,abstract ideas and ways toexpress yourself,” Windersaid.

Lai sent an installationproposal to the UNC galleries

in January of this year, and byAugust all of her works hadbeen prepared, packed anddelivered to campus.

Lai has multiple differentvariations of her fiber opticinstallation on display for thepublic’s viewing pleasure.One of which resembles a

cluster of jellyfish gleamingbrightly with tentacles fallingdown upon one’s head.Another resembles a web-likestairwell seemingly suspend-ed in the air by no stringswhatsoever.

Her most recent installa-tion will be on display from

Sept. 12 through Oct. 20 in theMariani Gallery located onthe first floor of GuggenheimHall. The gallery is open fromnoon-6 p.m., Mondaythrough Wednesday, fromnoon-4 p.m. Thursday andFriday, and 10a.m.-2p.m.onSaturday.

Following its 3-1 defeatSaturday of Montana Stateat Butler-Hancock SportsPavilion, the UNC volley-ball team ran its conference record to 2-0and tied its Division Irecord for best 11-matchstart to the season.

It wasn’t easy, though.After cruising through

the first two sets with relative ease — winning 25-19 and 25-17, respective-ly — the University ofNorthern Colorado (9-2, 2-0Big Sky) was given areminder of what playingMontana State (7-3, 1-1) isactually supposed to be like.

The third set featuredsix ties but the Bears couldnever get the lead aftertying it and trailed by asmany as six points andeventually lost 25-19.

“We served very aggres-sively in games one andtwo to keep them out ofsystem,” head coachLyndsey Oates said. “Ingame three, we backed off alittle bit with our servingand then we saw theMontana State team that’s

capable of hitting over.400.”

After being held to a.194 and .080 attack percentage in the first twosets, respectively, MSUturned the tables and hit.448 in game three to forcea fourth set.

The fourth set, though,was reminiscent of the firsttwo, with the Bears holdingthe Bobcats to a .061 attackpercentage, leading to a 25-17 set victory to win thematch.

The win gave UNC a 2-0start in conference play forthe fourth consecutiveseason.

Although a sweep wasp r e f e r r e d ,senior outside hitter KelleyArnold said it was benefi-cial for the team to be chal-lenged to the extent it was.

“When a team comeacross adversity, you haveto get over that, and it real-ly shows the character ofyour team,” said Arnold,who had 12 kills and eightdigs in the match. “I thinkwe were mentally unfo-cused (in the third set).

ly we can keep her there.”The Bears, after eight

Dim lights and a coffeeshop atmosphere set themood for the UniversityProgram Council’s OpenMic Night Sept. 10 at theFireside Lounge of theUniversity Center.

The stage was set for15 performers as theyshowcased their talent foran audience of about 150people. The event wassponsored by Starbucks,

which offered compli-mentary coffee, hotchocolate and its newiced refresher beverage tostudents.

The evening began ona strong note with ConorTerrones and his band.The band had a very laidback, alternative feel to itsperformance. Each per-former following kept upthe excitement. ScottChaney, while playing aguitar, sang “New York isNot My Home,” originally

performed by Jim Croce.After giving the crowd

something to cheer aboutwith a song called“Believe Me,” sophomoremusic major DevonHildebrandt basked inhow much he enjoyedperforming.

“I love it, it’s fun,”Hildebrandt said. “Iwould love to open up aconcert venue one day.”

Hildebrandt is no strangerwhen it comes to performingfor a large audience, havingplayed other larger venueslike Street Fest.

Street Fest was held inLincoln Park Saturday at10th Avenue and 8thStreet. The event held anannual Chalk Festival,while also welcoming pro-fessional and amateurartists, students of all agesand the general public tocome join the festivities.

While the majority ofperformers at the OpenMic Night played aninstrument or sang asong, two freshman busi-ness majors, BrianFriedric and Joe Boydworked as a duo in their

rap performance. “We met at orientation,

actually,” Boyd said. “Thisis the first time we haveever performed together.”

While Fredric was on themic, Boyd kept a steady beatfor him to rap to. Unlikemany rap performances,Fredric and Boyd’s perform-ance was entirely freestyleand encouraged audiencesuggestions near the end.

Monique Garbutt gave amoving poetry reading

toward the end of the eventthat left the audience bothcheering and snappingtheir fingers. Her expres-sive, detailed language andstraightforward approachwas both thought-provok-ing and was a beautiful dis-play of art.

“I thought there was avariety of talent, whichshowcases the wonderfulperformers UNC has,” saidEmily Kribb, a junior the-ater studies major. “The

rappers were my favorite.” On more than one

occasion, people stood inapplause for many of theperformers, includingRyan Ziedler, who playedacoustic guitar and sang.

UPC will be hostingtwo more Open MicNights, on Monday, Sept.24 and on Monday, Oct. 8from 9 to 11 p.m. at theFireside Lounge. Studentscan sign up to perform atwww.signupgenius.com.
