A few hundred milesdown I-70 from Burlingtonis the town of Junction City,Kan. For UNC graduateJoseph Stratton, most of hisprofessional life has beenplayed out somewherebetween these two prairietowns.

Hailing from Burlington,Stratton was recentlynamed CEO of GearyCommunity Hospital inJunction City. This comesafter a distinguished careerin hospital administrationacross much of the westernUnited States.

While Stratton has a doc-torate from the University ofSouthern California, his first

college experience was atthe University of NorthernColorado in Greeley, after hegraduated from SalinaSouth High School in Salina,Kan.

It was here that hereceived a Bachelor of Artsin organizational communi-cation in 1981. He thenreturned to Kansas, earninga Master of Science fromKansas State University in1984.

Much of Stratton’scareer has centered on howto blend the field of commu-nication with business andscience. His 20 years ofexperience in the field ofhospital administration at awide range of hospitals is agood example of this work.

Awards from the

American College ofHealthcare Executives fol-lowed, and he later foundedthe Kansas Association ofHealthcare Executives(KAHCE). It was through theKAHCE that Stratton metGary Drake, who is thechairman of the GearyCommunity Hospital Boardof Trustees. Drake offeredStratton a job at GearyCommunity Hospital.

Stratton was the CEO ofthe Kit Carson CountyHealth Service District inBurlington at the time. Heand his wife were looking toreturn to Kansas, and GearyCommunity Hospital wasjust across the county linefrom Stratton’s hometown.

A CEO with 20 years ofexperience at a variety ofhospitals might have beenenough. But Stratton seems

to be someone always intenton doing more, and pushingboundaries in life.

He has taught businesscourses at community col-leges around Kansas, andfor 15 years, he taught andserved on the boards of twoschools for troubled youth:St. John’s Military Schooland The Saint FrancisCommunity Services, also inKansas. As if that weren’t

enough, he also served asthe Director for BehavioralHealth for the ChoctawNation in Oklahoma.

UNC is always inter-ested in how its alumniserve the world they are apart of. Stratton is a goodexample of someone whowent above and beyondthe call of duty, usingGreeley as a springboardfor success.

Being that Thanksgiving(and the ensuing weekend)isnow complete, it seems suit-able to discuss the impor-tance of having traditionsduring this time of year.

Green bean casseroles,sweet potatoes with marsh-mallows and pumpkin pieswith entirely way too muchwhipped cream are a good wayto go, as is having dozens ofpeople around to share in thefestivities with you.

Also on that list should berooting for the Lions andagainst the Cowboys andbreaking out the holiday CDsas soon as the meal is over.

Whether you have aleisurely Thanksgiving or anextravagant one, it’s impor-tant to have some sort ofritual or tradition withthose you share it with.

For some, that’s easiersaid than done. It’s difficultfor some out-of-state stu-dents to justify spending somuch on plane tickets orgas for a trip home thatwould last just a few days.

In such a situation, find-ing a close friend to spendthe day, or days, with canbe a blessing.

If you can’t spendThanksgiving with family and

friends of home, the next bestoption is the second familymade at college.

Additionally, findingsomething ritualistic to dowith the welcoming family iseven more satisfying. If thatmeans partaking in a back-yard football game or passingaround the Black Fridayadvertisements and formulat-ing a game plan for theevening and early morning,so be it, but at least you havesomething you can sharewith people who caredenough to include you in hol-iday plans.

And it’s at moments such as

these that you realize whatThanksgiving weekend is reallyall about. It’s not about pecanor pumpkin pie, the Lions win-ning or the sweater for areduced price. It’s about whoyou are fortunate to share thattime with.

And what you do with thosepeople will make memoriesthat a specific food, game oritem cannot compare with.

When taking into accountall of the experiences andmemories one can create witha second family during theholidays, that is truly whathappiness is. Everything elseis just gravy.

Thanksgiving a time of traditions, regardless of company

Recently, George Lucassold his rights to“Star Wars” for just

more than $4 billion. After somany years of denouncing cor-porately-owned movies andthe effect which corporationshave on the creativity ofmovies, he has decided to sellthe entity, which many aroundthe world had grown to love, tothe Disney Corporation.

While researching thistransaction, I have seen a lot

of negative feedback. I, forone, am rather happy that the“Star Wars” universe will beexpanding.

I am a huge fan of the Jediversus Sith and Republic ver-sus Empire struggle. Ever sinceI was a child, I have watchedLucas’ films with wonder andadmiration for the creativegenius which he set upon thefilm industry and world.

I have always hoped thatthere would be a continuationafter “Return of the Jedi” butnever felt that it would be cre-ated because of seemingly irre-placeable characters such asHarrison Ford’s Han Solo.

I do believe that there is agreat deal of hope for a new

trilogy, and while the origi-nality of the charactersmight be lost since they aretoo old to take part in thefilm, I do see there being awonderful chance to advancethe story. I support this ideabecause of the dozens upondozens of books, videogames and other formsLucas’ brand has taken.

I think the fans of StarWars deserve the chance toknow what happened afterthe Death Star exploded offthe moon of Endor. I believethat a wonderful story couldbe created with the old base,which is the first trilogy,combined with the new cine-matic wonders and anima-

tions that have been devel-oped over the years and usedin later Star Wars movies.

Imagining Luke Skywalkerperforming the acrobatic fight-ing implemented in Episodes1-3 brings a smile to my face.That or seeing the MillenniumFalcon touched up anddesigned in a new and clearway to give it a brand new feel-ing of realism which matchesour cinematic expectations willbe something I will look for-ward to until 2015 whenEpisode 7 releases.

‘Queen Lear’ answers questions of curiosity

Earlier this month,Darrin Pratt, the director ofthe University Press ofColorado presented“Publishing with aUniversity Press” in JamesA. Michener Library.

There were five rowsfacing a projector screen,and the audience consistedof mostly seasoned andassistant professors inter-ested in publishing aca-

demic works, but severalcurious undergraduate andgraduate students werepresent as well.

Pratt, who has workedin academic publishing formore than 20 years, deliv-ered an experience aimedto inform the audience. Helectured with the aid of aPowerPoint for half anhour and then opened theevent to an informal Q-and-A. Information includ-ed advice about how topublish with all UniversityPresses: what to submit,

how to format submissionsand what to expect of thepublication process.

Pratt said people seek-ing publication withUniversity Presses shouldconsider “fit, execution andcontribution.” By “fit,”Pratt meant that authorsseeking publication shouldresearch various UniversityPresses to discover one thatpublishes related works.

“Look at what you useand start there,” he said.“Attend conferences andask questions at book-sale

booths. They are there toanswer your questions.”

By “execution” hemeant “following submis-sion guidelines,” and by“contribution” Pratt meant“being honest about whatthe work accomplishesacademically.”

Pratt said “polish” iswhat makes a manuscriptstand out from others.

And, with UNC’sUniversity Press averaging150-200 submissions annu-ally and publishing about10 percent of those, the

crowd welcomed hisadvice.

“I found the informa-tion on what to include in abook proposal useful,” saidsenior UNC undergraduateand assistant researcherSarah Redman. “I found itwas interesting that polish-ing was so important.”

After exhausting theattentive audience of allvoluntary questions, heconversed with individualsconcerning specifics oftheir works, offering direc-tion as to where they

should seek publication.Professor of Women’s

Studies Christine Talbot,who is looking to publish abook concerning pluralmarriage in the 19th centu-ry, shared the challengesshe faces in preparing topublish and asked severalquestions.

“It was all really useful,”Talbot said. “The discus-sion of the prospectus ismost valuable. Dive intothe anxiety. Let it fuel you.Get yourself out thereregardless of the anxiety.”

Three matches, 11 sets,two sweeps and 139 kills waswhat it took for the UNC vol-leyball team to be named the2012 Big Sky Champions forthe team’s third champi-onship in four years this pastweekend at Butler-HancockSports Pavilion, capped witha five-set thriller Saturdayagainst Idaho State.

It was a situation the

University of NorthernColorado (24-10, 14-6 BigSky) was more than accus-tomed to: a championshipon the line and a berth in theNCAA tournament at stake.After matches against NorthDakota (15-17, 10-11),Portland State (21-11, 17-3)and Idaho State (23-8, 16-4),the title and berth were bothin UNC’s possession.

It was announced Sundaythat the Bears would take onthe No. 5-seeded University

of Oregon at 9 p.m. Friday inEugene, Ore., in the NCAATournament’s first round.

Named to the all-tourna-ment team for UNC wereoutside hitter Kelley Arnoldand setter Marissa Hughes,both seniors, as well as thetournament MVP, sopho-more middle blockerAndrea Spaustat.

“I feel very, very grateful,”Spaustat said. “I was definite-ly shocked. I definitely feellike there are a ton more girls

who deserve it more than Ido, and I can’t even takecredit for it at all. It’s becauseof my team.”

In the three matches,Arnold had 40 kills, includingthe championship-winner.Hughes had 115 assists in thetournament and Spaustathad a hitting percentage of.474 over the course of thethree matches.

Idaho State ended up tak-ing the first two sets, 25-21and 25-20, respectively.

“We did it the exciting waytonight,” UNC head coachLyndsey Oates said Saturdayevening. “There’s no otherteam that we owed a come-back like that to more thanIdaho State. They beat ustwice when we’ve been 2-0.”

The lost first set endedUNC’s 12-set winning streakof Big Sky tournament sets,with the last dropped set inthe 2010 finals againstPortland State.

A renewed UNC squadproved it was not going togive up its title easily, winningthe third set and fourth sets25-18 and 25-12, respectively.

With everything comingdown to the fifth set, theBears were able to use theirmomentum from sets three

and four to seal the deal, win-ning it 15-11.

“Honestly, it was amaz-ing,” Hughes said. “Thecrowd was amazing. Iremember the fifth set, meand Kelley looked at eachother and we’re like, ‘We’redoing this. Let’s do this.’”

Before the win againstIdaho State, the Bears sweptNorth Dakota in the quarter-finals and then Portland Stateand semifinals, with bothmatches on Friday.

UNC sophomore middleblocker Brianna Strong ledthe match against PSU with10 kills, hitting .450.

“That’s outstanding,”Oates said late Fridayevening. “Kelley, (sopho-

more outside hitter) Tambre(Haddock) and (Spaustat)have been our kill leadersthroughout the whole sea-son. So, that’s our fourth hit-ter leading the match in asemifinal against the confer-ence champion.”

Hitting was a weak spotfor PSU, with UNC keepingthem at -.070, .480 and -.020,respectively for the three sets.

That type of defense willhelp the Bears when theytake on a No. 5 Oregon teamin the first round of the NCAATournament. The Duckswent 25-4 overall this seasonand 16-4 in the Pac-12, withtwo losses coming toStanford, a No. 2 seed in theNCAA Tournament.

I’m in my third yearat UNC, and untilSeptember, I had

never set foot in Butler-Hancock Sports Pavilionto watch the volleyballteam play a match. Imust say that I am disap-pointed in myselfbecause of that.

When I was initiallyasked to go to the firsthome match for volley-ball for The Mirror, Ihonestly had no idea howto approach it. I didn’tknow much about thegame or the players, but Iwanted to learn moreabout both.

Every match, Iwatched the way headcoach Lyndsey Oates

communicated withthe players, and afterinterviewing her morethan a dozen times, Isaw why theUniversity ofNorthern Colorado

has her as head coach. Inever saw her get veryangry during any match.What I did see was a largeamount of support bystanding up and cheeringfor her team and encour-aging her players.

I enjoyed watchingvolleyball so much that Iwas more than happy tobecome the beat writerfor the team.

One aspect of beingthe writer for the teamwas writing features onseveral of the players. Ihad the opportunity toget to know who they areoff the court. I found outthat senior setter MarissaHughes has a very bubblypersonality and is the bigsister on the team.

Sophomore middleblocker Andrea Spaustatwants to do somethingwith her major — crimi-nal justice — and herbest friend, sophomoreoutside hitter TambreHaddock, originallywanted to go to collegefor basketball.

After every feature Iwrote, I had a betterunderstanding of the typeof person and player eachBear was and I observedhow supportive and emo-tional the team is duringa match.

I now admit it wastough for me to show noemotions on the side-lines, especially duringthe Big Sky Conferencetournament this week-end. I wanted to go to atleast one match where Icould sit in the stands asa fan, but I realized Ienjoy writing about theteam more, and I didn’twant to give that up.

I found that no matchresult could be expectedbecause, even whendown two sets to noneas they were in thefinals, the Bears had theheart and ability tocome back. The energyat Butler-Hancock wasso high because of thesupport from the playersand the fans. I had neverseen so much support

from any team and I waslucky enough to have afront row seat for thatmatch and every matchbefore it.

My journey with theteam started off with awin and ended with awin, and I am alreadylooking forward to nextseason and getting toknow the team in a dif-ferent way than I did this

fall. I wish the best ofluck to the Bears in theNCAA Tournament and Ihope to see even moresupport for the team nextseason. It’s worth it.
