STUDENT GROUPS

Walk up to the club, sign up From spelunkers to Quidditch enthusiasts, CU has a group for you

By Mitchell Byars Staff Writer

C

ollege is a time to explore interests, and that isn’t just limited to classes.

The University of Colorado offers hundreds of clubs for students covering all sorts of activities, hobbies and topics, from the Advertising Club to the Zen Society.

CU provides a complete list of student activity groups on its Center For Student Involvement website, but we’ve taken the liberty of picking out a few of the unique clubs students can join this semester.

Astronomy Club CU has a long, proud history of launching stuff into space, whether it be fancy contraptions developed at CU or actual people who went to CU. The astronomy club is for people who look up at the stars and wonder at the marvels of the universe, and not just wonder how they ended up lying on the ground in the middle of the night.

The club brings together people with an interest in space for field trips, astronomy discussions, presentations by faculty and researchers, and even support and research for projects.

For more information, visit the club’s Facebook page.

The Backcountry Club

Are you one of those people never satisfied with just riding up and down the mountain on a ski lift? Well for skiers and snowboarders looking for something a little more off the beaten path, this club is for you.

CU Astronomy Club member Joseph Hicks captured this image this year during a club trip to Brainard Lake

The Backcountry Club is for both experienced backcountry riders and those looking to get into the sport.

From organized trips to free gear rentals and safety tips, you’ll be winding your way through the trees in no time.

For mor information, visit the club’s website.

A crowdsourced list of the best places to cram around campus

There’s plenty of space on CU’s 600-acre campus: Nearly every one of its 200 buildings has a chair-and-table set by a window for the desperate last-minute crammer. But those truly in the know have assembled a comprehensive list of places for every scholarly need.

The fine folks at Qualify, the Buffs-only dating app, have crowdsourced the CU community’s studious habits. About 1,000 students have divulged their go-to spots through the app’s matching questions.

REC CENTER

Find your fit to get Buff at CU With variety of classes, those fees pay for ‘more than just weights’

By Aimee Heckel Staff Writer

S

ure, it has the standard goodies: a weight room, pools, group fitness classes.

But the University of Colorado’s student rec center has much more than just that — with offerings extending out into nature and even your next outdoor vacation.

Even if you think you know the CU rec center, it’s time to get reacquainted. It has evolved over the past year, with some new and different features to help keep students active and healthy.

CU has two different indoor rec centers, the Student Recreation Center on campus and the Bear Creek Rec Center for students in Williams Village.

Full-fee-paying students have access to both facilities, although some features, like the climbing gym, cost extra.

The Student Recreation Center spans more than 300,000 square feet, complete with multiple basketball and tennis courts, an ice rink, three artificial turf and four grass fields, four pools, a 7,000-square-foot climbing gym and more.

What’s new this year?

One of the biggest changes with the rec center this year is with its intramurals, says Annie Mulvany, assistant director of marketing for CU’s Recreation Ser vices.

This year, students can pay a flat $16.50 to play as many different intramural sports as they want to for the entire semester. In the past, students had to register and pay for each individual activity separately.

Mulvany says she hopes

this will increase involvement in intramurals.

Intramural sports are also expanding to some more novel activities, she says.

For example, new this year: water basketball and water volleyball in the pool. And for students who don’t want or don’t have the time for a longer commitment, the rec center is offering more tournaments.

“The tournaments are shorter, so there’s not as much commitment. It’s two days over the weekend instead of six whole weeks,” she says.

Even if you don’t want to play intramurals, the rec center aims to offer a wide

Norlin Library

A library’s a bit of an obvious choice for studying, but there’s one spot in particular Qualify users like: the window-heavy top floor.

You can sit and overlook Ramaley, the Quad or the aptly named Pleasant Street.

“It’s a really good place to de-stress,” said Chenoweth.

Business library

The bottom floor of the Koelbel building is where you go when you want to be inspired and rub shoulders with future (potential) entrepreneurs and CEOs. “You feel like you’re on their level,” Chenoweth mused. “You feel smarter

when you’re there.”

It’s a popular spot and often crowded, but private rooms can be reserved.

Technically reserved for graduate students, rebellious undergrads have been sneaking into the top of the physics tower for years.

“It’s the most beautiful view on campus,” Chenoweth said.

“It’s super central on campus,” Chenoweth said — right next to the bus stop — “it feels like a hip spot.”

GREEK LIFE

Band of brothers and sisters Sororities, fraternities offer perks like housing, dances and snacks

By Sarah Kuta Staff Writer

W

ant to go Greek?

You’re not alone.

Roughly 14 percent of University of Colorado undergraduates are involved with Greek life on the Boulder campus.

We broke down the different types of sororities and fraternities you can join, what it will cost you and what to expect during recruitment and beyond.

Sororities and fraternities

There are two types of councils in the University of Colorado Greek system: the Panhellenic Executive Council and the Multicultural Greek Council.

The Panhellenic Executive Council consists of nine national chapters and one associate member that is religiously based, according to Greek life officials.

Recruitment for Panhellenic sororities runs Sept. 1-7.

Look out for the Greek Life Fair at the University Memorial Center in August, which is an opportunity for new female students to learn about the nine chapters.

The Multicultural Greek Council encompasses seven sororities and fraternities that tend to focus on social justice, diversity and culture.

Since 2005, fraternities have not been connected to the university officially. The Interfraternity Council acts as a private community organization, but still recruits and caters to male students at CU. There are currently 16 fraternities and two interest groups (basically, fraternity chapters that are in the process of forming) in Boul-

der.

Look out for formal IFC recruitment events for fraternities in late September.

In the fall of 2015, the university announced that it would like to re-affiliate with the fraternities and launched its own fraternity community for new chapters that would like to start in Boulder. So far, the university has not made any announcements about new fraternity chapters joining its Greek life community.

houses, which are privately owned and maintained by local or national alumnae house corporations.

Some chapters require members to live in these houses, and some do not, but Greek life officials say living in Greek life housing is comparable to other housing options.

It can cost around $1,300 the first year after you join a chapter, which includes some one-time expenses.

After that, it’s slightly less Cost expensive each year, dependSome sororities and frater- ing on which chapter you nities have houses for mem- join and whether or not Jeremy Papasso / Staff Photographer you live in a Greek house. bers to live in.

Center from page 10 spectrum of activities that appeal to ever yone, Mulvany says.

Students can get certified in CPR, First Aid or as a lifeguard.

They can sign up for scuba diving classes or take a small-group personal training session.

The wellness center offers free nutrition consultation, a Musculoskeletal Injur y Clinic to screen for minor muscle and joint injuries, flu shots and massage.

Then there’s the Challenge Course, a high and low ropes course.

Planning an outdoor trip or hike?

The rec center’s Adventure Planning Center helps students plan trips, print maps, find equipment and even guide trips.

“It’s a good resource for students who want to go out and explore Colorado,” Mulvany says.

“We’re more than just weights and cardio equipment,” she adds.

Wisdom from page 4

sincere wish that your memory, however it looks, is a nice one. I have a feeling it will be.

But if you’re turned off by the prospect of good times and fond recollection, then maybe you’d be wise not to pay me when I show up at your door. Because I promise you, the times will be bad if I don’t get my money.

Maybe you’ll wake up the day after disrespecting me and find your cat is dyed blue or that a silly hat was super-glued to your head while you slept.

Perhaps you’ll open that box of two dozen donuts you just bought and find that four of them have been eaten. I might abduct your goldfish.

What you need to understand is that I have sick thoughts in this head. Sick thoughts! Would I ever do anything to hurt you physically?

No. But would I spook you a bit or slightly inconvenience you with a prank moderately sinister in nature as retaliation for your failure to pay up?

Absolutely.

So my advice to you, as you begin to navigate the choppy but wondrous waters of college, is to be open to new things and people, to challenge yourself mentally and to give me money when I ask you for it. Do that, and we won’t have any problems.

Because, I mean, we don’t want a problem, do we?

Do we?

Good. I didn’t think so.

McConnell / The Denver Post They say dress for the position you want, not the one you have. But you may just wanna go business casual for your first interviews. vant, he said, because it

Craft a killer cover letter

“Numbers make the bullet points pop out. It really draws that attention in and says, ‘This is a person who pays attention to detail.’”

Ben Wurzel program manager for outreach and career counselor in CU’s Office of Career Services

Cliff Grassmick / Staff Photographer Darren Drouge carried his resume in a Peanuts lunchbox during Tube to Work Day in Boulder. Your resume should be detailed and well written, but don’t go too flashy with the template.

Ah, the cover letter. One of the trickiest skills to master.

We’re overthinking it, Wurzel says. All we need is a good metaphor.

“A cover letter is a lot like speed dating.”

In the first paragraph, you say “why them” — why you want to work there.

Use the second paragraph to say “why you” — why they should want you to work there.

And the final paragraph, Wurzel says, is when you say, “Let’s get together.”

Ask for an interview or prompt a follow up, with a line in there about the mutual benefits of bringing you on board.

INTRAMURAL & CLUB SPORTS

A little friendly competition A bit of sporty fun for anyone — without that varsity-level pressure

T

here’s no better way to burn off stress than exercise. And what could be better than exercising with 15 or so of your closest friends?

CU’s got you covered with intramural and club sports on campus. Don’t want to play? You can also live vicariously through the Buffs’ many talented varsity athletes or cheer them on with the student section, aka the C-Unit.

Intramurals

Intramural sports are the most casual way to play organized sports at CU. Teams in the intramurals program play other CU teams — it’s only CU students versus CU students.

You can play all the classics, like three-on-three basketball, ice hockey, football and soccer through CU’s intramural sports programs.

Fall registration generally

Spring sport registration takes place the first week of March. You can even play

Nail your next interview You’ve got your foot in the door. Don’t make them slam it shut on you by looking sloppy and incompetent.

There are three questions every interviewer is thinking when they talk to you: Do you have the skills (or the ability to learn) needed to do the job? Do you have the enthusiasm to do the job? and Do I like you?

“Show you work well on teams, handle conflict well and in general have a disposition that’s easy to work with,” Wurzel recommends.

Something students tend to undervalue is the group work they’ve done — mostly because tons of people hate working in groups, Wurzel says. But the ability to work well with others is crucial, and enthusiasm for teamwork can make you stand out.

“Those are the experiences students can gain in college that, if they can really master the art of working with others, (are) going to serve them.”

Don’t turn your cover letter and resume into a mass marketing exercise.

Get personal.

Get revenge.

(No, wait, skip that last part.)

Lewis Geyer / Staff Photographer

Resume from page 19

proves you can hold a job.

“Working as a waiter or at summer camp, that experience is actually very valuable to show (you) have work ethic and other transferrable skills,” he said.

And if you’ve been in college for four years and lucky enough to have someone else paying all your bills?

Write that down, too: College is hard work and definitely should be on your resume.

It’s a numbers game

Bullet points highlighting your experience and skills are great, Wurzel said, but they often lack substance.

“Whenever possible, include numbers or statistics,” he said.

For instance, a 4.0 GPA is great, but did you graduate in the top 1 percent of your class? Shout that out. Being a manager at Hollister is

cool, too, but it becomes much more impressive if you oversaw 15 other people.

“Numbers make the bullet points pop out,” Worzel added. “It really draws that attention in and says, ‘This is a person who pays attention to detail.’”

No mass marketing

what you’ve got to offer with what they’re looking for.”

He recommends having a master resume with all your creds on it, then creating a one-page resume that targets a specific job.

Don’t get fancy

Resume templates are all over Buzzfeed and Pinterest these days: Trendy colors and fonts, eye-catching graphics — they’re mega cute and oh-so-easy to plug your creds into (giggity).

But use caution, Wurzel said.

“Keep it simple and basic,” he said. “Stay away from anything that’s too flashy.

“One important thing to keep in mind is your resume is your marketing material.

The goal is not to get the job, it’s to get the interview.”

You know when you get a mass text from that one friend wishing you a Happy New Year? It’s OK, but it doesn’t give you the warm fuzzies of a personal message sent only to you.

The same is true for resumes and cover letters.

“Do not send out 100 of the same cover letters just changing names of company,” Wurzel cautions. “For jobs you really want, write a cover letter for each individual job. It shows you’ve done Shay Castle: twitter.com/ shayshinecastle your research and matched

Colorado Daily file photo Rodney Hooks and David Lee spar during CU Taekwondo Club.

Sports from page 22 can even come up with a clever team name, like “Ball So Hard University” (basketball) and “Sweepin’ it Classy” (broomball) to shout from the huddle when you win.

Club sports Club sports requires slightly more commitment than intramurals. These teams employ part-time coaches and schedule practices that members are encouraged to attend. Club sports teams compete against other schools across the country, too.

There are more than 30 club sports to choose from, including baseball, cycling, equestrian, fencing, lacrosse, swimming and more.

CU is well known for competitive club programs — the triathlon club team has won more than a dozen national titles, and CU club swim team is not far behind with at least nine national titles.

You get the idea. Buffs are athletic.

Jeremy Papasso / Staff Photographer Jimmy Mickle was part of the ultimate frisbee club at CU. After graduating, he was recognized as the best ultimate frisbee player in the nation. Dream big, Buffs.

Sports from page 30 Cheering section Your odds of playing for the Buffs are pretty slim, but you can help out by cheering them on.

Though the football team didn’t have the best season last year (they won four of their 13 games), the games are a blast and a great way to get know your fellow Buffs. So are the basketball games, which make the Coors Events Center hoppin’.

You can help by hanging out with the C-Unit, CU’s loud and vivacious student section, which shows up to most sporting events on campus.

CU’s move to the Pac-12 Conference in 2011 and the past success of the men’s basketball team have given the student section new life in recent years. Former Buffs’ basketball star Spencer Dinwiddie (who now

plays for the Chicago Bulls) has even referenced the deafening roar and atmosphere created by the C-Unit when talking about factors that led to Buffs wins.

Here’s how to join your fellow Buffs in the C-Unit: Step one: Obtain black and gold paint, apply liberally to body.

Step two: Cover any other body parts with Buffs apparel.

Step three: Locate other similarly dressed people in the crowd.

Step four: Stand next to them, cheer loudly, jump up and down and hold up a photo of a giant, floating head of a player (or men’s basketball coach Tad Boyle) above your head.

Now you’re Buffing awesome.

Safe from page 34 Police suggest going out and staying with friends, watching out for each other and drinking responsibly.

And instead of walking alone on cold winter nights, students can take advantage of resources like the Buff Bus and NightRide, which can be reached at 303-492-SAFE (7233).

Pedestrian and bike safety is another big issue on campus, police say.

Pribble encourages students to use lit paths and crosswalks — and not to assume cars will stop for you in those crosswalks.

Cyclists should have a bike light if they’re out after dark, and walkers should have a flashlight.

“It’s safer for you and everybody else if cars can see you coming,” he said.

To reduce the odds of a stolen bike, police suggest keeping bikes inside whenever possible or locking them in well-lit and well-traveled areas when they are kept outside.

Bikes also should be secured with U-locks, not the easierto-break cable locks or chains.

“If you don’t ride your bike all the time, check on it at least daily,” Pribble said. “It’s easier to track if it’s stolen if you report it right away.”

Owners also should register their bicycles with either

Boulder or University of Colorado police, which makes the bikes easier to flag if they are located or sold.

CU students can register their bikes with the CU Bike Station outside the University Memorial Center or online at cubikestation.com.

Along with bikes, the other valuable and easily stolen item that most CU students own is a laptop.

Students studying in the library or another public place need to take their laptops with them on bathroom breaks, he cautioned.

Laptops, phones and other electronic devices can be registered at CU’s Telecommunications Center, 1045 18th St.; Boulder Public Safety Building, 1805 33rd St.; Boulder PD Hill Community Police Center, 1310 College Ave.; and Pearl Street Community Police Center, 1500 Pearl St. Information such as serial numbers and a description of the laptop can help, along with the IP address — which can be tracked by CU if the laptop logs on to the school’s network.

Overall, Pribble said, CU is a safe place — and students share responsibility for keeping it safe.

“It is vital to the university that we have a safe campus,” he said. “We’re constantly working to find new and bet-

Can’t find your bike?

• If a bike appears to be abandoned, was found locked to something other than a bike rack, or impedes disability access or any kind of traffic, Parking and Transportation Services may have impounded the bike.

• Registered impounded bikes are held for 90 days, and nonregistered impounded bikes for 60 days.

• If you believe your bicycle was stolen, call the campus police at 303-492-6666 or file an online report.

• The easiest way to claim a lost, stolen or impounded bike is through registration records. Register your bike at either of the two bike stations. (One: located east of the UMC at the fine arts lawn, and Two: Folsom Station located at the southwest corner of the Engineering Center.)

ter ways to keep everybody safe. But we need the students’ help. We need them to be diligent, have their heads up and notice somebody approaching. We need them to make sure they’re acting safely when they’re walking out and about.”

what’s perceived to be hours has gotta be as close to nirvana as I can hope to attain.

A time traveler from 100 years hence offers you your choice of the fruits of transhumanism: chlorophyll skin, webbed toes, carbon fiber bones, you name it.

What genetic/surgical modification do you make to your body?

I’d have to go with the obvious answer and lay claim to some particularly durable elbows. Never know when the ol’ arm joints will shit the bed, so some added longevity to the trusty headlockers will go a long way.

Also ass-cheek racing stripes, but those are something I can probably pull off with a pocket mirror and some greasepaint. Don’t have to bring time travel into the equation.

If you were 6 inches tall, what animal would be your mighty steed?

The height might actually make this a bit of a pain in the ass, but when I was a kid I really wanted to have a pet graboid (you know, the giant subterranean worm monsters from that Kevin Bacon movie “Tremors”) to ride around on (Or in?

Fuckers traveled underground, and logistics were not my strong suit as a child). I’d still like to make that work someday.

If I rifled through your fridge, what’s the most scandalous item I am likely

to find?

If you rifled through my fridge right now, all you’re going to find is a lot of foodborne illness and more chocolate milk than a grown man should admit to owning. And you’d probably end up very sticky at the end of it all. It’s best to just leave the fridge alone.

What is your preferred method of disposing of the body?

Well I did have this one secluded drainage ditch for dedicated corpse-dumping activities, but “Pokemon Go” really ruined that whole goddamn operation once it came out that you could catch Abras there. So now I’m back to using seagulls and a shitload of sunflower seeds in a poor man’s Tibetan sky-burial setup.

What is the best flavor of Jell-O shot (besides snozzberry, of course)?

Every Jell-O shot I’ve ever consumed had a thick film on the top with the consistency of boiled football leather. This probably isn’t a part of the standard method of preparing these shots, and I’m sure they could be better than the rubber little morsels I’m used to, but still, I’m not particularly fond of them. That said, I’ll eat most anything if it comes in fig flavor, chewy outer alcoholic ring be damned.

carbon fiber bones, you name it. What genetic/surgical modification do you make to your body?

I have no use for my uterus anyway, so let’s ditch all that baby-makin’ gear and replace it with a nanobot factor y that perfectly regulates my hormones.

While we’re messing around in there, might as well convert some of that space to store and play my

music collection.

If you were 6 inches tall, what animal would be your mighty steed?

I know I should probably pick some bird of prey for this, but I can’t stop thinking how cool it would be to ride a basilisk, aka the Jesus lizard, as it speeds majestically across the surface of a pond. Plus, I would give it forehead armor with a decorative horn for maxi-

What is your preferred method of disposing of the body?

Compost that sucker. I know what you’re thinking: “You can’t put meat or bones in the bin!” Au contraire, mon frere. With enough heat and air, it’ll break down just fine, although I recommend increasing the surface area for best effect (chop chop!).

Plant a fruit tree on top, and in a couple years, Mr. You’d-Look-Prettier-If-YouSmiled will be the secret ingredient in your blueribbon apple pie. Waste not, want not — that’s what I always say.

What is the best flavor of Jell-O shot (besides snozzberry, of course)?

Baked potato, with chives and a dollop of sour cream on top. Yum. What euphemism makes you grin like a demented middle schooler?

Aside from stress relief and lowering blood pressure with the power of purrs, what little-known medical benefit do cats provide?

If they deign to knead on you with just the right amount of claw, cats can give a decent acupuncture session.

But most helpful is their sleep-inducing ability. If I’m

having trouble falling asleep, just observing a curled-up feline can be enough to make my eyelids droopy. For a more powerful effect, get a hand under that fuzzy chin and let the purring vibrations traveling up your bones knock you out like a freight train full of Ambien.
