This space has
been used to tack-
le a broad range of
big issues.
Still, there’s one topic
that I have long desired to
cover but until today had
shied away from.
It’s not a big national
issue, and it likely doesn’t
impact massive swaths of
the U.S. or global popu-
lation. Some might even
point to the fact that this
column is being written as
evidence of the anarchic
death-spiral of modern
culture.
Still, it’s a chance I’m
willing to take if I can
reach out to just one per-
son in the greater Greeley
area and help them make
a difference.
In section 10.2 of the
2012 Colorado Driver’s
Handbook, right of way

destrians meet one anoth-
er, and there are no signs

The section goes on
to list various scenarios

pected to be enforced.

For instance when two
cars are stopped facing
each other at an intersec-
tion, one intending to go
straight and the other with
their left turn signal on,
the expectation is that
the person with the right

ing I’ve seen this system
work fairly well. Until I
moved to Greeley, that is.
Here I consistently en-
counter people of all ages
and racial spectrums who
seem to think that when
I’m taking a left and
they’re going straight,
that I’d rather not wait for
them to cross the road and
instead wave me on, en-
couraging me to take my
turn ahead of them.
The main problem with
this is that by the time I
realize what they’re try-
ing to tell me, both they
and I could’ve gone if
they’d just followed the
right of way.
While this may seem
like a polite gesture,
ultimately it tends to cost
more time than it saves.
Right of way laws are
designed to solve these
conundrums.
When I’m turn-
ing left and the other
person looks to go
straight, I expect the

will stare at you and insist

Being a future teacher can of-
ten give a person an interesting
perspective on life, especially as
I am in a discipline that asks you
to never take things at face value
but to question everything.
These days, I question the
value of standardized testing. I
read so many stories of teachers
leaving their once beloved pro-
fession over the sheer amount of
time spent testing and preparing
for testing.
There is a lack of actual in-
struction time. The reality is that
in the end it takes away from the
art of teaching.
To put it in the words of a
teacher I had the pleasure of ob-
serving, “We weigh the pig and
we weigh the pig and we weigh
the pig but we almost never have
time to feed the pig.”
While I personally am not
overly fond of comparing stu-
dents to pigs, the metaphore cer-
tainly applies. We test and we test
and we test, but where is the ac-
tual instruction time?
Teachers and bureaucrats alike
are concerned about the achieve-
ment gaps in the United States.
<HW� WKH� UHVSRQVHV� DUH� FRPSOHWH��SRODU� RSSRVLWHV�� WKH� EXUHDXFUDWV�want to blame the teachers and
layer on more testing.
Teachers, already strained by
the sheer amount of legislation,
ÀJKW� IRU� ZKDW� OLWWOH� LQVWUXFWLRQ�time they already have between
all the testing windows. At the
same time, because test scores are
used to “grade” schools, teachers
feel obligated to teach to the test.
This only further destroys the art
of the teacher.
Closing the achievement gap
lies not in more testing, but rather
in giving teachers more time to
GR�WKHLU�MRE��WHDFK��A recent article from the
Denver Post shed some light on
the issue, stating that the chil-
dren of doctors and lawyers do
better on these tests and those
schools with higher percent-
ages of low income students get
lower “grades” by Colorado
standards.
Thus we must conclude that in
order to start closing the achieve-
ment gap in Colorado, we need to
cut down the testing and put that
money toward schools that genu-
inely need it.
Teachers will always do the
best they can with what they
have, and those students who
care will respond to it in kind,
thus causing school performance
to rise as a whole.
However if funding for
schools is continually cut and put
toward these tests, the achieve-
ment gap will continue to widen
ever more, and those who strug-
gle will continue to be further left
behind despite the best intentions
of the bureaucrats.

Frat fights hungerCommons will cost studentsAlexandria Adair [email protected]
An increase in student fees to help fund the new Campus Commons building was discussed by the senate, and several student orga-nizations requested money from the Organization Funding Board for events in the University of Northern Colorado community.
The members of Student Senate met March 12 before Spring Break in the Univer-sity Center Council Room to discuss updates from around the campus.
One topic that seemed to concern several members of senate during updates was that of the proposed Cam-pus Commons building, which is in its early plan-ning phases. It was noted that an increase in student fees to help fund construc-tion of the new building was not discussed at the most re-cent UNC Board of Trustees meeting, but Student Sen-ate President Oliver Bourne said it seemed that more VROLG� ÀJXUHV� PLJKW� EH� SUH-sented at the upcoming June meeting.
$W� WKH�ÀQDQFH� DQG� DXGLW�meeting last month Presi-dent Kay Norton said the guesstimate cost would be about $70 million. Some senate members said that they feel they have heard
several different numbers about what the exact in-crease in cost for students ZLOO�EH�DQG�QRWKLQJ�ÀUP�MXVW�yet.
Christopher Rose, a se-QLRU�PDUNHWLQJ�PDMRU��TXHV-tioned whether it would be fair to charge students for a building they won’t even be able to use. He made the point that it wouldn’t make sense to have students share that burden. Student Trustee Ben Fuller asked about the progress of Campus Com-mons focus groups.
“They’re looking at a pretty penny, but there’s still no true budget,” Bourne said. He said the groups have discussed the purpose and location of the building, what will be located inside it and what technologies will be used.
There were also three student groups to request funding from OFB. One group, Spectrum, is a group for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer, ques-tioning students and their allies. The club requested $2,200 for help with putting together an Equality Ball. The event is geared toward informing the community about and celebrating mar-riage equality.
The Student Nurse’s As-sociation requested funding along with the marketing club to promote a 9NEWS
health fair that will take place March 29 at the Uni-versity Center.
Members of the club are also looking for volunteers who can help to administer free screenings to those who can’t afford the cost of a hos-pital or clinic visit. Those interested in volunteering may sign up online at http://WLQ\XUO�FRP�NEMZ�PI�
Finally, members of Lambda Theta Nu Soror-ity, Inc. requested $3,000 in order to put on their an-
nual Latina Youth Leader-ship Conference. The event, which is geared toward mentoring young women of color and teaching them the value of higher educa-tion, has taken place on the UNC campus for the past 17 years.
All three organizations were approved for the full amount they requested.

Teeter-Totter from page 1
When a person donated $100, the fraternity mem-bers had to ride the teeter-totter for 24 hours straight.
The fraternity members took turns riding this teeter-totter nonstop until March 14. They even set up a tent next to the teeter-totter, so they could ride overnight and still have a place to rest and catch up on sleep. Members of the fraternity even rode for up to 10 hours each.
The teeter-totter fund-raiser was a new idea initi-ated by Lambda Chi Alpha this year, and members said it was a trial run to see how well it would go. Their ini-tial goal was to raise $300, but passed that goal expo-nentially by the end of the week. Their new goal was to reach $1,000, which they ultimately met.
All sororities and fra-ternities involved in Greek life are required to have a certain number of charity KRXUV� WKDW�DUH�EHQHÀFLDO� WR�
the community, otherwise known as their philanthro-py hours.
The fundraiser appeared to be a philanthropic suc-cess for the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity and the Weld Food Bank because of the unexpected amount of money donated. For ev-ery dollar that the Weld Food Bank makes, it is able to provide six meals.
Helping to combat hun-ger is something the frater-nity members seem used to, however, since the chapter is already well known for raising over 10,000 pounds of food at UNC recently.
Lambda Chi Alpha de-cided to host a unique event, but there are other things people can do to help out. There are plenty of vol-unteer opportunities and chances to advocate ending hunger in Weld County.
Weld Food Bank pro-vides food box programs, a backpack program and var-ious other programs aimed at curbing hunger in low-income school children.

Workshop teaches students how to make posters that pop Staff [email protected]
While the “Undergraduate Research
Workshop: Delivering a Stellar Poster
Presentation” on March 10 focused on stu-
dents in the sciences, the presentation on
how to create posters for class projects hit
several points that were cross-disciplinary.
Stephen Mackessy, from the School
of Biological Sciences, shared tips that
would help any student at the University
of Northern Colorado succeed.
Mackessy told those in attendance that
posters are good for sharing complex ideas
and formats may vary with discipline. The
advantages to a poster are that they are
usually up for a long time, which is unlike
a convention where speakers come and go
in a more rapid order of succession.
Mackessy also said posters have the
advantage of allowing the presenter to
interact with the audience in more detail,
even though they cannot reach as many as
people as oral presentations do.
The key to any poster is to have a good
idea, even if it is not fully completed. Ex-
plain the work and research put into the
project, why was it done and how.
Mackessy emphasized that graphics are
a must, and subtle color schemes are bet-
ter. A simple poster is easier to look at for
the audience than a tie-dye scheme would
be.
Some technical details Mackessy gave
were that font size should not exceed 24 to
28 point with the exceptions of references,
VRPH�WH[W�DQG�ÀJXUHV��The main title should be between 48
and 60-point. The author’s name should be
large and bold. The title itself needs to be
brief and informative. He said to be sure to
include all contributors.
Another necessary technical bit is the
abstract, which is a brief synopsis of the
work.
Mackessy said the introduction section
of a poster is there to provide background
and context to the reader. This one or two
paragraph section may contain the thesis
or statement of problem.
The next section—materials and meth-
ods—may or may not be necessary de-
pending upon the discipline. Mackessy
said each discipline will have its own
equivalent of this section, however. The
length of this section should be about 10-
20 percent of the poster.
The third section important to a suc-
FHVVIXO�SRVWHU�SUHVHQWDWLRQ�LV� WKDW�RI�ÀQG-
ings and results, in which brief results
of the data and an analysis are provided.
Mackessy said not to discuss results in this
section, and this should make up no more
than 30-40 percent of the presentation.
The last section includes the conclu-
sions and discussions, which should be
formatted into brief bullet points. Make
sure to highlight major points, Mackessy
VDLG�� DQG� PDNH� VXUH� WR� VKDUH� WKH� VLJQLÀ-
cance of the results.
Further, Mackessy said to question what
contribution your research makes to the
ÀHOG��6KDUH�� LI� UHOHYDQW�� DQ\� IXWXUH�GLUHF-tion for further work. This should be no
more than 10-15 percent of the poster.
References need to be selective—only
the most important should be listed alpha-
betically in a smaller font size. Mackessy
said an acknowledgements section may or
may not be necessary. Again, be brief.
Mackessy said the most important les-
son of all was to make every word on the
poster count.

Presentation at UNC acknowledges race, integration needsNatasha [email protected]
The subject of race can be a touchy one. On March 12, UNC faculty had a chance to address the topic and listen to ideas on how to better integrate race into the classroom through a pre-sentation called “Centering Race in the Classroom: En-gaging Faculty in Inclusive Pedagogy.”
This event, open to facul-ty only, was attended by pro-fessors from a wide range of departments. The present ZDV�&KD\OD�+D\QHV�� D� ÀUVW�year instructor at the Uni-versity of Northern Colo-rado. Haynes is teaches in the Higher Education and Student Affairs Leadership program.
According to the pro-gram’s website, Haynes’ research interests include
“examining the effects of racism on college student persistence among racially minoritized students, the operation of power and privilege in college teaching and applications of Critical Race Theory to postsecond-ary educational context.”
Haynes presented ideas that explored the impact of the growing diversity among students in higher education. A key idea to this is the fact that white professors are unaware of how their racial status and privilege set them apart from their minority students in the academic world. She also said professors need to take into account the entire student body when they write lessons, the syllabus and expectations for the class.
“My goal with this pre-sentation is to make college
campuses a place where ra-cially minoritized students want and are able to learn,” Haynes said.
It’s not that white pro-fessors don’t care, Haynes said. It turns out that a good number of them do care about how race can make up a large part of their students’ identities. A
t the same time, some professors said, with race being a touchy subject—and the potential for someone to play the so-called “racist” card —some professors just aren’t sure how to deal with the subject.
Haynes suggested that faculty look to include some form of inclusivity state-ment at the beginning of the course. Another suggestion was to bring in issues of social justice and develop critical consciousness in students and professors
alike along the way. Some factors in the way
of race consciousness are common classroom priori-ties such as subject matter and learning outcomes, FODVV�VL]H��FRXUVH�FODVVLÀFD-tion and course sequence. Many teachers and pro-fessors are ill-equipped to address some of these is-sues, but at the same time, are concerned about be-ing more inclusive in their classrooms. In fact, with each class being so differ-ent, it can be hard to know which students will see race as a larger part of their per-sonal identity and which will think nothing of it at all.

Breelyn Bowe | The MirrorChayla Haynes discusses the importance of integrating race into UNC’s classrooms and acknowledges a racial inclusivity that is essential for complete equality.
“My American Life” tells many stories. It is author Neil Di-amond Williams’ autobiography, as well as an abridged family his-WRU\��,W�DOVR�VHUYHV�DV�DQ�XQRIÀFLDO�guide through American history, from Jim Crow to civil rights and beyond. In some ways, the book is a story of UNC, which gets its own chapters detailing Williams’ education and professional career on campus. He spoke with The Mirror via email and in a phone interview about his autobiogra-phy.
“I wanted to write from a per-spective of how history, events,
people and places shape our per-ceptions, our lives and how we chose to communicate with hu-man beings,” Williams said.
On paper, Neil Diamond Wil-liams organizes information by president. Throughout his auto-biography, “My American Life,” Williams sets historical mile markers for the reader by men-tioning the president at the time. Three of his grandparents were born in 1899, when William 0F.LQOH\�ZDV�LQ�RIÀFH��,Q�������when Williams’ grandmother was six years old, Woodrow Wilson issued an executive order segre-gating cafeterias and restrooms used by federal employees.

president of the Black Student 8QLRQ� ����� WKURXJK� ������ +H�VDZ�ÀUVW�KDQG�WKH�RSHQLQJ�RI�WKH�Black Student Center, later re-named the Marcus Garvey Cul-tural Center, which still stands today. Williams says in his book that he was not involved in the
decision to rename the Black Cul-tural Center the Marcus Garvey Cultural Center. He told The Mir-ror that, while he respects the leg-acy of Garvey, he probably would have recommended the Fred L. Shuttlesworth Cultural Center or the Wellington and Wilma Webb Cultural Center instead.
The UNC president at the time was Robert Dickeson. The UNC “Plan for the Future” called for the strengthening of some pro-grams, the consolidation of oth-ers and the removal of some altogether. The plan called for anthropology, black and women’s studies to be rolled into a depart-ment together.

UNC alum’s autobiography includes important UNC history
A new hope is emerg-ing for a local business. Earlier this year, The Mir-ror reported on a string of break-ins that hit local businesses over winter break.
The newly-established Game Alliance arcade was hit particularly hard with over $10,000 in theft and damages. After months of fundraising, it has been determined that local nerd den will reopen.
It’s just not certain when.
Jennifer Fulmer, sis-ter of Game Alliance co-owner Jim Knipschild, organized an online fund-raiser on the website Go-fundme.com.
More than $2,500 was raised from the campaign, called “A New Hope for Game Alliance,” plus
outside anonymous dona-tions have been raised for Knipschild and his wife Cindy to open the door’s
to Game Alliance for a second time.
“It’s taking a little lon-ger getting inventory and
everything set up, but should be well on his way when he gets everything set up,” Fulmer said in an
email to The Mirror. She also said the Knip-
schilds are adding more equipment and TVs to shorten wait times for the grand opening.
“It’s very exciting to reopen, and Jim wants it to be a big re-grand open-ing,” Fulmer said.

Other businesses that were broken into in Janu-ary include Textbook Bro-NHUV�� &OXE� �����*HRUJH·V�Gyros and Burgers and The Blue Mug @ Mar-gie’s.
The Greeley police department is still investi-gating the break ins.

Vandalized business to reopen

Even at home, if a team comes out without energy, it’s likely going to get beat.
UNC men’s basketball was that team Wednesday night in its 82-71 Col-legeInsider.com Tourna-ment loss to Texas A&M-Corpus Christi before a subdued crowd at Butler-Hancock Sports Pavilion.
“I just thought that they had more energy. They played with more life to them,” head coach B.J. Hill said. “We looked real-ly exhausted mentally and physically, as evidenced by those three turnovers down the stretch—just plays that we didn’t make all year. I thought that and the rebounding is what did us in.”
That energy advantage the Islanders (18-15) held over the Bears (18-14) showed itself primarily through A&M-CC’s 13 offensive rebounds and 32-23 rebounding advan-tage overall.
“All of them were ath-letic, they were all physi-cal.” Bears junior guard Tevin Svihovec said. “It showed a little bit on the boards for sure.”
After nearly beating host and top-seeded We-ber State in the Big Sky Tournament, the Bears looked like their minds were more focused on what could have been an
NCAA Tournament berth with a Big Sky Champi-onship.
“Obviously this isn’t where we want to be so it’s bittersweet for sure but I mean, Coach’s big thing today was appreci-ate our opportunity we have,” senior guard Tate Unruh said. “You know, there’s a lot of teams that aren’t playing still. We had a postseason chance
and didn’t make the most of it.”
Texas A&M-CC point guard Jon Jordan con-trolled pace on offense with 16 points, six assists and six rebounds.
“That’s what I’m good at: getting to the cup, playing inside-out,” Jor-dan said. “That’s some-thing I pretty much do on the regular.”See Basketball on page 16

UNC women’s tennis took on Northern Arizona Wednes-day and the Lumberjacks won the match 5-2 in Sedona, Ariz.
The Bears (7-6, 5-1) were able to take the No. 5 and No. 6 indi-vidual matches to earn their two points for the team match, but a lone doubles win beyond those
victories left them with the loss.
F r e s h m a n Laura Wehner beat NAU’s Sarah Maria Spruch in a close No. 5 match, 6-4, 6-7 (8-10), 10-4. In the No. 6 match, UNC fresh-man Beth Coton took down Ta-
tum Rochin in straight sets, 6-2, 6-4.
In the other singles match-es, UNC se-nior Adriana Nieto fell to Johanna Vang 6-2, 6-2. Se-nior Stephanie Catlin took NAU’s Emelia Box to three sets before falling
In doubles play, Box and Ro-chin won the No. 1 match over Catlin and Coton by a score of 8-3. Vang and Spruch defeated Wehner and Hoolahan by the same score.
UNC’s doubles win came in the No. 3 match when Nieto and freshman Courtney Schulte took down Tatum Rochin and Denesik 7-6 (7-2).
Women’s tennis loses first Big Sky match of season
Northern Arizona swept UNC men’s tennis in singles play Thursday and won the overall match 6-1 in Sedona, Ariz.
University of Northern Colorado junior Ben Gendron and senior Michael Moya de-feated NAU’s Kester Black and Fabio To-masetti, 8-2, in the top doubles match, and the No. 3 pair of junior Jordan Loughnan and senior Jeff Carlson took down Trevor Unger and Sarp Laleli, 8-1, earning the Bears (7-4, 5-2 Big Sky) the doubles point.
Those would be the only wins of the day for the Bears.
Sophomores Mitchel Knight and Jacob Sheldon were swept 8-0 by Alexandre Loc-
ci and Jordan Gobatie in the No. 2 doubles match.
Only Gendron and Moya were able to win sets in their individual matches. Gen-dron lost to Gobatie 6-4, 4-6, 6-3, and Moya fell to Blaine Mengert 6-2, 5-7, 10-6.
Loughnan and sophomore Eric Schuer-mans both fell 6-2, 6-3 to Unger and Black, respectively.

Men’s hoops ends season with CIT lossBasketball from page 13
Unruh was second on the team with 15 points as senior forward Der-rick Barden led UNC with 18 points and seven rebounds.
Svihovec added 13 points and a team-high sev-en assists. Junior forward Dominique Lee supplied a second-half boost with 11 points and four rebounds, three offensive.
Lee’s push midway through the second half wasn’t enough to get the Bears out of their rut, though.
“The tiger had trouble hiding its stripes,” Hill said. “Unfortunately for us, that was kind of our deal
the last month of the sea-son: We didn’t defend very well. I thought we defended better the last three games, but tonight we kind of went back and looked like the Bears of the beginning of February, late January.”
“I think we’ve got eight guys that are capable of starting, and I think that the fact of the matter is all three of the guys that come in in our early rotation de-serve to start,” Islanders head coach Willis Wilson said. “They’ve been self-less enough to really buy into who we are just so that we have a rotation.”
Wilson’s faith in his bench was rewarded by for-ward Rashawn Thomas’s team-leading 22 points.
Thomas, guard Joy Wil-liamson and guard Jake Kocher, who scored 12 points, have an identity for themselves as the reserve unit.
“We usually call our-selves the turn-up squad,” Thomas said. “Whenever we come in, all we do is try to intensify the game, get us back in the game or push the lead ahead more.”
Unruh, Barden, forward Connor Osborne and guard Xzaivier James, who saw some rare playing time late in the game, walked off the court for the last time as Bears.
The Islanders fell Satur-GD\�DW�3DFLÀF�LQ�WKH�VHFRQG�round of the CIT by a score of 89-60.

Waiting game
Swank opens the bar and con-cession stand, turns on the pro-jector to warm it up and patrols the theater until opening time.
“Then I just wait for customers to come in for the movie,” Swank said. “When people start showing up, it is usually me bouncing in between the concession stand and bar. We have a pretty small staff so everyone is cross-trained in pretty much everything.”
Much of Swank’s time is spent answering questions about what to expect from the experience of the theater. Stray passersby stop in to quench their curiosity and the ringing of the phone adds a rhythm to the clinking glasses and running tap of various liq-uids. Swank’s speech about the mission of the theater is recited
genuinely to each and every questioner.
He explains the process of paying for a movie and paying for drinks or dinner is a separate experience.
“We aren’t a dinner theater,” Swank said. “We get a lot of calls about that. People basically ask how the whole thing works. I just have to tell them, there is admis-sion for the movie and you can buy concessions or food separate. It is a common misconception that we are a dinner theater.”
One of the stray passersby, Rebecca Diaz, stopped in to ask Swank simply “how it all works.”
“We were walking by and saw the advertisement for the movie so we thought we would stop in and see what is going on here and ask how everything works,” Diaz said.
The ringing phone blends into Swank’s routine. The low rum-
ble of chairs scratching against the hard wood is omnipresent, re-minding Swank to keep moving and checking up on his guests.
He bustles around the theater, alternating between running the bar, concession stand, ticket sales and bus boy duties before, during DQG�DIWHU�ÀOP�VKRZLQJV�
´,W�UHDOO\�LV�DOO�HEE�DQG�ÁRZ�µ�Swank said. “Half an hour before a show, people will trickle in. If it is going to get busy, it’ll get busy 10 minutes before the show. We can have a sold out showing and the place will be dead until a couple minutes before we are scheduled to start.”
Swank relishes in this experi-ence as smaller theaters are more ÁH[LEOH� WKDQ� IUXVWUDWHG� ZLWK� D�last-minute crowd.
“That is where it helps being a smaller theater because we have a ORW�PRUH�ÁH[LELOLW\�µ�6ZLQN�VDLG���“We do not have everything on

“If a movie gets out and a few people are here we will stay open for them for a bit,” Swank said. “It is very rare when I have to kick someone out because it gets to be too late, but I have done it before,” Swank said.
Before Swank can head home though, he has one more respon-sibility.
“Every week we get a hard drive with trailers on it,” Swank said. “We have to look at what we might get, set up a playlist RI�WUDLOHUV�IRU�WKRVH�ÀOPV�RU�RQHV�similar to them, push play and make sure it is good to go. Then I can pack up.”
The theater lights are then turned off and Swank leaves the creaking building to settle into silence and emptiness to await D�QHZ�FURZG��ÀOP�DQG�EXVWOH�RI�business once more.

revealed large disparities in the treatment of minority students in public schools.
“This data collection shines a clear, unbiased light on places that are deliver-ing on the promise of an equal education for every child and places where the larg-est gaps remain. In all, it is clear that the United States has a great distance to go to meet our goal of providing opportunities for every student to succeed,” U.S. Sec-retary of Education Arne Duncan said in a press release on the U.S. Department of Education’s website.
The study brought to light, among
other facts, that black students are sus-pended and expelled at a rate of 16 per-cent—compared to just 5 percent of white students.
This disparity and reluctance to talk about the very real effects race has on students trickles upwards into the higher education system.
Haynes said another notably large fac-tor that blocks racial inclusivity is the Eu-rocentric view on several content areas. For those teachers and professors wanting to be more inclusive, Haynes tells young teachers to go for it.

realize that value judgments of the president’s plan af-fect lifelong experience. A plan is simply a plan. Un-til it is proven successful, it will remain just a plan,” Williams said in 1982.
Williams credits Dicke-son—with student and fac-ulty help—with salvaging the black studies, women’s studies and anthropology programs at UNC. All three programs are still avail-able at UNC although black studies has since been re-named Africana studies. In 1983, The Mirror ran a front-page story and photo of Williams and Dickeson leading a Martin Luther King Day march from the University Center to Carter Hall.

The students responsible issued verbal and written apologies at the Marcus Garvey Cultural Center. Williams asked photogra-phers present to take only take photos of the perpetra-tors from behind to avoid excess backlash against them.
On top of his responsi-bilities with the BSU, Wil-liams balanced academics and ROTC duties while on campus. Williams told The Mirror that two years of his OLIH� ZHUH� ÀOOHG� ZLWK�PHHW-ings, debates, public speak-ing and media and commu-nity outreach.
“By the month of May in 1983 I was personally ex-hausted; once checking in the Greeley Medical Center
for symptoms of exhaus-tion.”
He saw change and pro-gression at UNC, but al-ludes to the responsibility of current students to main-tain a positive atmosphere.
“During the next 10 years after I graduated from UNC, UNC became a better place,” he said. “It became a place to communicate, to resolve issues and to have healthy debate. We opened up a new era. And the rest was left up to people like you.”
In addition to his auto-biography, Williams has published a children’s book called “Bears Can Swim and so Can I!” and a col-lection of Christian love poems.
