Dvery year on Sepr 15, the celebrationof Hispanic heritage and culure begirs.

As with any other racial or ethnic group,the activides send out to the world a simplemessage: If you want progressive change andgrowth, roll up your sleeves and immerseyourself in the arduous task of selfdetermi-nation. Through knowledge, ffnd out whoyou are and where are you corning from,and be proud of it.

One way to do this is to tum back to his-tory and fill in the blanls.

A Metro group called I-os Herederos ofChange and F-speranza (the Heirs of Changeand Hope) has taken it uPon its shor. dersto cross and look beyond long-establishedborden and limitations, including challeng-ing the curriculum of Chicano Studies.

"We have inherited a new t'?e of strug-gle," said Daniel Salcido, president of I-osHerederos and a Metro shrdenL "It is ourresponsibility to leam from the past and apply ttre knowledge in agreement with today'schanges."

Part of Los Herederos' efforts to exposesocial sbuggle in ib variow forms has beenthe facilitating of a wide range of spealers.Thev invited local and national heroes, whohave been a part of revolutionary move-ments at one time or another.

In their own revolutionary wan the aca-demic club has challenged the curriculum ofChicano Studies at Meho for leaving out thevoices of the Chicano cornrnunity in Colo-rado, The studenb started the Beyond Chi-' canismo OraJ History hoject, meant to ffll inthe blanks of Colorado's Chicano history.

The Regency opened three weeks ago,and despite ffnal construction and the startof the,new semester, students created agrowing community that is beginning to take

'I would-have considered not being here(at UCD) if it wasn't for this place," Allersaid. 'Everybody there (on campus) is on amission to go 0o school and there is no socialMe for the most part Or it's spread out sofar around Denver you have to drive 45 min-utes to hang out with someone from class."

The kitchen is also in firll swing. Surdenbare served a firll range of foods, rangingfrom vegetarian cuisine to steak" and are of-fered meal plans ranging from pay-a.*yougoto three meals per day. But at a cost of $7to $10 per meal on the pay-asyougo plan,students who plan on eating a.t the domr alot have gone with bigger meal plans.

'It's much better to get the meal plaru"said Aaryn Minidt, who is a fieshman musicmqjor at UCD, as well as Aller's roomrnale.

"The food is healthy, and I achrally prefer that to going out sometimes, becalsethere's more

"It's exciting to see," said Carmen LermaMendoza" qpokesperson for The Regency.Mendoza said she expects The Regencyto ffU its vacmcies for the ffrst phase by thetime the second phase opens inJanuary.

Metro shrdent James Endres is livingar the Regency as well. Ijke Aller, Endresdid not know anyone when he moved in,but now he feels at home among newfoundfriends.

"I know almost everybody in here Ithinlq unless drey just moved in, but lll getto know them," Endres said. "Socially, ev-erybody in this complex gets together per-f""dy."

An4 unlike many fieshmen before him,Endres won't have to deal with commutingto, and parking on carnpus than}s to theshunlebus that runs a loop between campusand The Regency every half hour, with trreffrst shuttle leaving fiom the dorm aJ 6:45a.rn.; and the ffnal bus leaving canpus 46:45 p.m.

The skiing and snowboard tips will cost$199 wifi an additional separate fee of $30for hansportation. These Eips include fourlessons and four equipment rentals alongwith a season pass.

The OA will be not always be stayingin tlte Denver metro a.rea; they plan on tak-ing longer hips. One trip, during FaIl Break,Nov. l&22, will be to New Mexico for theEnchanted Circle lfike and hot springs.They will also be in Ouray from Jan. 7-lIfor some ice climbing.

Bryan Ferguson, OA program coordina-tor, said that each outing would be led bystudents for students. This is change fromthe past where he would organize and ei-ther lead each event or serve as a backup.Changing this allows his stpdene a chanceat breaking down the barriers that stopmr-rlticulhrral students from gefiing togetherand growing. While he said he still wants tobe part of dre evenb, he said he eventuallywants to be seen as the trainet's trainer.

Another factor this year is that the rockwall is in place and is creating so much ex-

citement that the OA hasn't been able tokeep hack of the large number of partici-

Pants."We knew that people would use it (the

rock walll" said Adas-Ingebreson, "but thatit would engage them to come down. Andasking about AI,P is not something that Ithought would happen nahrally. (Also) thenumber of women who are climbing on thewal! I am so happy with."

This is the third year Ferguson and At-la.slngebreson have worked together. Theycombine his knowledge of the outdoors withher multicultural experience to create thebyproduct of several diversity events, whichhave had a oositive effect on those who haveattended. Atlas-Ingebretson said several par-ticipants have left her "astounded" by howmuch they gained from the experiences.

Other factors impacting the OA this yearare the hiring of hesidentJordar! who saidrecendy in a Metropolitan interview thai see-ing students through to graduation is one ofhis goals.

All shrdents who meet the oualificatiorsto run in the election will begin their cam-paigning on Oct 3.

The reMsed election commission by-laws qpeci| that only Meto computer labsare recognized as official polling st"tions,however because voting is conducted elec-tronically, online, through MetroConnec!any student can vote legitimately fiom anycomputer. This provision was added due tothe disqualification of Williams based on acomplaint from Metro student Arma Davis,who accused Wiliams and her supporters ofviolating state law by conducting a privatepolling station.

Seuing up a private polling station couldcarry a violation of l0 points, a new provi-sion added to the revised bylaws. Under thisnew point system, an individud, party orreferendum could be disqu.liffed and takenoff the ballot for l0 accumulated ooints.

The Regency will also be holding adrawing for a new VolkswagenJetta; all stu-dents who sign a lease before Dec. I areeligible to win it.

Students have been taking initiative inorganizing groups around the community.

There is discussion of starting clubs forsnowboarding, basketball and even a spar-ring club for students involved in martialaxts-

Aller and Endres have been bouncingideas around about organizing a range ofsbrdent Fips, from playing pus-puft to skihips in the winter.

All these activities revolve around thenew friendships that are being made.

"Everybodyknows everybody, especiallybecause it staded out so small,n Aller said.

"We kind of made our own communitybefore kids started moving in, even after thefirst day, so it's just building upward like thatand making it easier to meet people-"

hundreds ofresearch hours, the sh.rdents produced hto books, now supplementa.l of theChicano Shrdies texts drroughout the state.

The lust book ca.lled "The Slrnbols ofResisLance" goes deeper than the establishednorrns to re-evaluate the rnurder of a Colorado Mouimiento leader fucardo Falcon. the1974 mysterious death of six Boulder stu-dents known as the Zos Sek de Boulder, andthe death of Luis 'Junior" Martinez, shot bythe Denver oolice.

The book came alive because almostnothing is wdtten about these people. Thevale some of the blank spots, said Morales,the Chicano Studies professor who moni-tored the academic content in the book.

But Morales and the shrdents also en-countered ar inberesting phenomenon.Many people in the Chicano community,where part of the research was done, werereluctant bo discuss any further what hap

pened decades ago."They (n'ouid) protest horv the story isn't

told, but then, rvouldn't u'ant to talk aboutit," Morales said.

He understood that part of the problemwas the tide of the project "Beyond Chi-carismo." Nlora.les found out that familvmernbers and comrades of Chicano activistswould see a denarhrre from the real valuesof the movement and what the revolutionaries involved in it fought for.

"But 'beyond' means to open newdoors," Morales said and added, that for any

ethic group to be stuck in blind nationalism,there u'as a risk of misinterpretation of what

the real objectives .,r'ere.

Another problem appeared to be thatmembers of the community accepted theproject as a way to criticize the activists'struggle for social justice and some of themethods they used, Morales said. But also.the divenity of the ac[vism has to be re-membered white radicals, activists fiom

\eu,Ai:ika movement and actirists fromPuerto Rico rvere also part of the Chica-nostruggle for selfdeternination, he said.

"'Beyond Chicanismo' is a radical peda-gogical project"" he said. "It is an attempt tomove beyond ceftain culh-ual and nationalistic ideas: not to ignore them, but to reachout to other corrmunities rvorking for socialiustice."

And following his zest for leaming aboutnew and interesting subjects, Meho seniorDave Mason got involved in the secondbook the shrdents produced-"The St-ugglefor La Sierra." The book ta]ls about the four-decadesJong batde of Chicano residents in

the San Luis Land Grant in Colorado to re

cover their rights over the land dating backto the 1800s.

N{ason grew up outside Dekoit and, be-ing a "white boy," was mosdy unaware ofthe Chicano Movement existence. he said.

"What was surprising to me w'as the low-intensity conflict that was going on for sorne

time," N{ason said. "I never really kne'rv thatChicanos faced such racism."

Tillking about the project, Nlason said itis worth,n'hile for undergraduate students k)palticipate in it because the benefits rangefrom having to dea.l with oral history togood preparation for graduate shrdies andresearcn.

"Oral historv is the story that usuallydoesn't get told, the real nuts and bolts, theday-to day Me, the real human experience,"he said. "The 'Beyond Chicarrismo' projectis an inva.luable experience in brling to getthe whole pichre, regardless of your political views, color or perceptions."

"Beyond Chicanismo'' is an ongoingproject. The next research effon to growinto a book will be about the United Mexi-c an-American Students orga.rrization, whichstarted 35 yean ago at the University of Colorado at Boulder.

KATRINA. Metro graduatefinds transition back at home eaqrContinut'rl from .lJ

home, Algiene was thinking about every-thing he 'rvas leaving behind.

"I was relieved that my rvife, my cat andI were safe, but you get attached to things, soit was heart-nrenching to leave them. We leftso ouicklv that all we had were the clotheson our backs and a small suitcase." he said.

"We thought the hurricale would blowover and rve rvould be back in a few days.We had no idea rvhat rvas achrallv about tohappen."

Algiene, who graduated fiom Metroin 1993, decided to come back to Denver

because he and his wife have family here,

who offered them a place to stay. Since hewouldn't be rehrning to the Universilv ofNer.r. Orleans-rvhere he was working ona graduate degree in accounting-an1.timesoon, he popped in at Metro just to checkout rvhat classes were being offered. Thenexi thing he knew, he was sifiing in classthe same day he arrived in tou.n, Sept. 1.Now' he's taking genera.l accounting classeshere at Metro.

"Metro lr.as very fleible rvith my situation." he said.

The school w'aived regishation fees andis attempting to reduce his financial burden

bv allowing him to parv in-stale resident tu-ition. One of his instructors even spent l,aborDay wit} him catching him up on lessons hehad missed and preparing him for a test thefollou'ing day.

Now that Algiene is setding into Colora-do, he's thinking about the trip back to New'Orleans that he'll make with his u.ife in thenext few ,,l.eeks. 'lhey ',r.ant to see what's leftof their second s0ory apartrnent ernd hope-ftrlly rescue a few. more personal belongings,but they don't have their hopes up. They'vebeen monitoring their home via satellite overthe Intemet and are nou' assured *rat it's nolonger under waber.

They are even discussing their move

back io New Orleans in the spring. He'snot sure if they'll be able to live in their oldaDartrnenl due to the threat of mold andtoxins that have possibly seeped their rvayinto the rvalls and u'ooden cuoboards. Butthat \ron't stop tlem liom continuing *reirlife rvhere they left off.

In the meantime, Algiene is waiting andwatching the progress in New Orleans, andfinding comfort in the fact that they escapedsafely. And life in Denver again, he said, hasbeen a pleasalt experience.

"So far, everyone's been really helpful."

Words f"ilwrath ofKatrina

In the wake of Hurricane Katrina (nopun intended) there has been a completesaturaton (pun intended). The sahrralioncame not onlv from the copious amounb ofmoistue that-now floods ttie Heart of Dide,but from the media covering this disasterfrom aII angles and the charitable organiza-tions that are scrambling to help the evacu-ees. Every dav I trun on CTIIN and find theonslaughl of ioverage as thick as it was onSept 1I. The only difference is that this wasan act of God, not an act of war.

So where am I, the lowly columnis! supposed to stake my claim to this event?

I can't write about the devastalion inNew Orleans and Mississipp! the photojour-nalists have given us enough to look at Athousand of my words can do nothing but

head-aching photo.I can't write about the people beca""e

the rest of the print and broadcast mediahave dohe that Every story now is notabout the wafer level in dre city or the bi}lions of dollars in damage, thi stories areabout the people who have gone throughhell and have come out on the other sideminus homes, possessions, merrories andat times, friends and familv members. Eachperson in the bayou has a devastating storyand no two are the same. The rest of themedia are going to tell each of those storiesif it takes a year. They did it with SepL 11,why not this?-I

can't wdte about the charitable orga-nizatiorx out there eying to help each andevery doe-eyed person in sight because theyare doing it thernselves. During each com-mercial break on television and on the radiothere are advertisements asking people to"dig deep' and "help those who have beendisplaced by this eagedy." The AmericanRed Cross, the Salvation Army, Goodwill,The United Way and every other organiz;-tion that posts a bucket outside of every grocery store and on ever major intersecton inthe country has found ways !o raise monev.

I can'i write about how euen the pii-vate sector has gotlen in on raising money.Companies ranging from car dealerships tomovie theaters to restau.rants are doing whatthey can during this time of economic skife.The larger companies are sending money aswell as provisions to the people in need inthe south as well as to the people who havebeen hansplanted to neighboring states toseek refuge or to staxt their lives orrer com-pletely.

Mothei l0lJlople often ask how I do iL Usually I say, 'I don't

I get up. I get everyone else up. My oldest daughter goesto school on one side of Denver, the,voungest three on theother side. They all need to be there by 8;30 am., which,incidentally, is the start time for rny MondayfMednesdayclass.

On those two days my youngest goes to Auraria's day-care while I'm in class. I pick her up at 12:30 p.m. to dropher off at her other school by l:05. While everyone is inschool, I am either at school shooting assignmenb or tak-ing care of my mom. At 3:30 it s time to stan rounding thekids up to go home. Luckily, three of them get out of thesame school at the sarne time, leaving only one more to bepicked up 45 minutes later on the other side of town. Thenits home to fix dinner, do homework and chores: there'staling care of our dog, schedr:ling everyone's doctor, den-

tist eye, and other appointnents-as well as delivering thernthere--paying the bills and allowance, watering and mowingthe lawn, cleaning house, doing laundry for six, working onthe Jeep lm attempting to build and ffnishing unpackingsince we just moved, And let's not forget there are dancelessons, music lessons, sport, swimrnin& mA, FtO, CSCand various other commitees reqporsible parents shor:ldatend. Oh wait ... and frrnd-raising, we can't forget fi:nd-raising (anyone want to buy an Ebook?).

HaIf the time I am shopping at midnight in my PJs wheneveryone else is sleeping. I average 80 miles per day gettingeveryone where they need to be and back again. Above allof this, I am on+all for my mom 24hours-aday in case sheneeds help or has to go to the hospital. This is my chaos ...and now I must get to it. It's 11:39 p.m. and I need to goinstall a new shower head before I can edit my photos, writethe captions, complete an online lab for chemistry ... well,you get the idea.

Soccer mom's got nothing on me. I love this stuff

Roberts shouldbe approaed

With the aftermath of Hurricane Kalrinafflling most broadcasb and broadsheeb thelast few weeks, the confirmation hearings forJobn Roberts have been-unlike Katrina---amere blip on the radar screen. In fac! thehearings have come and gone with little fan-fare, and Roberts' nomination for chief ius-tice of the Supreme Court is expected to besent to the fi.rll senate as soon as today.

Democrats on the Senate JudiciaryCornmittee, the hearings' hosg had hopedthe ouestion-and-answer sessions would al-low fir the painting of the SGyear-old Rob-ert as inexperienced and an ideologue, possibly scutling his nomination to the cout.Not surprisingln thougtL l6ony liberalblowhards like Senaton Charles "I-Can'rStopTalking-About-Mpelf" Schtrner, NJ-,and Ted "I{an'tStopDrinking" KennednMass., failed to so much as dent the con-ffrmation chances of hesident Bush's iudi-cious judicial choice.

Inferences that RoberG is inexperiencedwere easily eftced by his resplendent resume. Roberts, a very poised and obviouslyintelligent man, earned his undergraduateand law degrees from Haward, graduatingwith honors both times. Shortly after lawschool. Robert clerked for the man he willbe replacing, the late William RehnquislRoberts went on to serve two Reoublicanpresidenb: Ronald Reagan and

- George

H.W. Bush. Roberb' extensive experiencehandling appellate cases led him to loin Ho-gan and Hartson, one of the most prestigiousand politically connected law ffrms in thecounky. Two yea-rs ago, Bush nominatedRoberb to the U.S. Court of Appeals for theDistrict of Columbia Circui! the most inllu-ential of the federal appeals courts, whereRoberts has since presided.

Claims that Roberts is an ideologuehave been equally eviscerated. Roberb, un-like Democrals' politically pandering pet jus-tices, is not a judicial activist and carefirllycrafts his decisions. which tend to favor nrecedence over *ytiri"g remotely resemblingpolitics.

Such a faithfirl application of the lawshould not be unexpected from a man whois faithful in other aspecb of his hfe. To begiq Roberts and his wife are devout Catholics.

I wouldnt be surprised if they weremembers of Opus Dei, a prelature of theRoman Carholit Church tliat is renownedfor its very h:adiflonal views and advocacy ofincorporation of the hith into the pen6naland professional lives of is members. Rob-erts is also a devoted hlher, having adopleda boy and grl rft.r he and his inife *ereunable to conceive.

The New Ymk Times attempted to dig upthe adoption records of Roberb' children,Jack andJosie, but was called out by liberaland corsewalive groups for the shamelessmooping.

Having found nothing on which tomount a meaningfrrl protest, the Democratshave lost the ffght for what could be themost influential appointnent to the SupremeCout As usual, the Democras' failure isto everyone's benefft, as ChiefJustice JohnRoberb will be a conscientious and adeptprobctor of the law

SGA DO()MED T() REPEATTRAGEDY ()F SPRING

Bravo. The Shrdent GovernmentAssembly finally did something!Four weeks after the start of the FaIlSemester, they passed election com-mission bylaws that will govem thespecial election slated for OcL 31.The ballot perhaps the most impor-tant election Metro has ever seen,will be for the ofrce of president andthe entire senate.

This election is signiffcant for somanv reasons. First thls will be theffrst SG,q, to work-actively-with Met-ro's administration. hesidentJordanhas promised a seat on his cabinetto the SGA presidenl Interim Presi-dent Dennis Bergquist has kept thatseat warrn, but a firll-time paxticipantis needed. This will also be the firstSGA to work under the new constitu-tion, passed last year, unless anothermud-slinging fiasco breaks out

Ah, yes, last spring was frrn for allof us. We probably should have seenit coming. Tensions were higl\ stakeseven higher. Payback and validationwere the silent pladorms on whichcandidates and their companies ran.

We can only hope the past is behind us, but fear is running throughour veins. While the bylaws havefewer loopholes and are easier to un-derstand, there are still a few stickypoints.

Filst of all, "official polling station"is not clearly defined. For starters,the document draws a line betweencasting a ballot on campus and else

where. The bvlaws read: "The offtcial polling siatiotts recognized bythe Election Commission axe all theMeto State computer laboratories. ".Yet the authors follow up with, "Anyshrdent can vote from any computer,whether on cuunpus, at home, libraryor elsewhere axound the world." Weffnd these two statements to be con-tradictory and ambiguous.

Moreover, there is nothing pro-hibiting anything similax to what theWilliams' camp did last spring whenthey set up polling stations of theirown and were disqualified for iL Theonlv reference comes in this clausediscussing "point violations," a sys-tem used to assign punishment tocandidates breaking the bylaws, "10point violation for violating MehoState College of Denver, AHEC,City of Denver, State of Colorado orFederal rules, regulations or laws.'

Another injustice done by thisdocument is campaign finance. Un-der the new rules. anv individualcan spend up to $250 for their runat oftce. However, any group of shr-denb forming under one ticket canonly spend $300. This simply doesn'tmake sense. Sure, we can understandthe power of "we," but allofting sucha small amount for an entire ticket isutterly ridiculous and a blatant disapproval of teamwork.

We hope the SGA will heed ouradvice and execute a fair. flawlesselection.

The past few months of my life havebeen swallowed in h:aveling.

Throughout my travels, I have pledgedto avoid tourist attractions like the plague.ln childhood museuns and national monu-ments once had a certain entertainmentvalue. Nowadays, I find nothing more depressing than visiting a location in anotherstate or country that is completely devoid ofnative residents, aside from those workingbehind food counters or pushing brooms.

It is not the personalities of my fellowforeign bavelers that I ffnd so unnerving; itis their behavior. Witness Exhibit A:

In Washington last spring I saw sequinedpurses spring up on the carb of street ven-dors downtown that later had a shong presence in the French storefronts of ChampsElysees (one of the few parts of Francewhere everyone speaks English and wearsfanny pacla). These same bags dominatedthe storefront windows of both the Copen-hagen Airport and the Bethany Beach, Del.,surf shops. T a<t week, I spotted at least twodozen people snakhing the same bags outof stores in Tirnes Square at 2:(X) a-m., in alast minute shopping spree after dining atthe Olive Garden.

Evervwhere I wenl Americans wenebuying tLe same thing to hold as a memoryof a place other than their home. I wonder ifthey realized they could just visit their state'stourist sites and purchase the same crap.No ma$er where Americans visil no matlerhow many opportunities for completely newexperiences call to them, I ffnd my fellowcitizens buying the same stupid things theydo not need and eating the same mediocrefood they could buy at home.

Any penon in a new town already hasan abrmdance of opporhrnities to make afool of themselves in their joumeys. Peoplewho have never used public hansporta-tion monopolize poles in subway trains asif there was one for each passenger 0o per-forrn a dance on. Others butcher a new lan-guage in an attempt to get directions on thestreet We fumble with our suitcases, blocksidewalla staring at new sighb and carry ourbelongings in parcels that enable convenientpick-pocketing. No matter how easy it is tolook like a bumbling idio! American tour-isb insist on maling it worse.

Everywhere I have been the past fewmonths, my goal has been to buy as fewnorredible things as possible and yet take asmuch as I could home with me. I refused tobuy things for the sake of having somethingand I nixed the words "photo opporlrnit/from my vocabulary in these havels,

I walked the stretch of the BrooklynBridge ralher than SoHo in New York Ihad brealfast on a hill top in Paris eatingbaguettes and drinking coffee surroundedby French poppies. In Delaware, I woke upat 5:0 am. and sat on the beach watchingdolphins frolic in the waves.

ld like to start off by saying thatmy views are completely my own andit's not my intention for you to agreewith what I have io say. Rather, my in-tention is to open some eyes or eani orheads, or evei hearts, to another angleon some issues I deem of signiffcantvalue in society.

That being said, I'11 always beshaighdorward and honest with evbry-thing I share with you. I feel this is animportant point to make, rnainly due tothe fact we live in the "ase of media."What the average *sheEp" or ulem-

mingn or "unconcemed citizen" hearsthrough the regular news channels isonly a reflection of where their compa-ny's potitical efFliations lie. You mightthink many of my beliefs and theoriesare differenL I believe deviance is theonly way we can remedy the horriffcproblems cutting this counfy tro piecesas if we're Jeftey Dahmer's victims.

I'd Iike to share with you a figure.hesident Bush's baby. rhe uar in lraqhas cost almost $200 billion. so far. Ifound a Website giving some otheruses for the same anount of money.Instead. we could've naid for almost 26million children to attend Head Start,insured 116.6 million kids, or hired 3.3million ad&tional public school teach-en for a year. Or. the one that I cur-rently care most about we could'veprovided 9.4 million studenh four-yearscholarships at public universities.

This causes me to question whetherall that green ig really going to ffght awar, where, alt}ler''gh irmocent "sheep"have gone out to slaughter, there hasbeen no progress to something hal.ing no point to begin with. The truereason was one of pure selfishness, atno cost out-ofpocket to "Dub-a-)r-rh,"our famous, someday inf4mous, com-mander-in-chief. He wanted to be theapple of his daddy's eye. Too bad theapple has worms. This nonsense, how.evet comes ai a verv high price for us,the vanishiirg rniddle<lass, an endal-gered species much like the wolverine.Difference being, the wolverine alwaysffghts back against anything b:ying todo it harm. Is it due to the fact hu-man beings are more evolved? Thatmight be true, if we never hunted orkilled or foughr Having the abifity tocommunicate-as I arn with you nor ',

I could go into so many difierentareas right norv, but the hot topic isHurricane Kab:ina. Fin! if this hadhappened in Texas or Florida, where'Dub-a-mh" has familv. the entiremilitary- over in Iraq and Afghanistanwould've been shipped back here onieb and would've been ordered toitand, shoulder to shoulder as a hu-man blockade. to Drotect and sen'e.Who would've protected them? Orwould receiving an honorable firneralservice be a sufficient enough reward?

Since nothins was done about thehurricane until iay 0oo late, it showsthe govemment cares less about thepeople of l,ouisianq Alabama andMississippi than it does about NewYork or Washington. This might seemlogical, but re're the Uniled States,not the Individualized States, and defi-nitely not in the free world.

THtrIR OPI1\IO1\By Kurt White, SGA Senotor, with Senoton Josh Holle, Joel Pyle, Donoy Powers, 0scor Peno ond Dono Allen

Fronklin doesn't know this SGAAs a newly appointed senator, I've heard a lot of

criticisms lately about the SGA. The latest is Mr. AlanFranklin's atiack in the Seot. 15 issue of Ifte Metroholitan. l'd like lo clear ,rp io-" of the misconceptionsthat are being perpetuated. First off, there are onlythree retuming SGA members from last year. The ninesenaOors are all new and had nothing to do with lastyear's election process, except for being the inheritorsof an SGA that was victimized bv the ooor choicesand decisions of the former election commission andoartisan candidates.

As chairman of last year's election commission,many of the election's problems can be laid at the feetof Mr. Franklin himself due to a series of ill-conceivedand unethical decisions. This includes the writing of theelection bylaws and procedures in collaboration with astanding SGA member who had a vested interest in aspeciffc presidential candidate. He allowed the last-min-ute removal of policy, preventing polling stations notrun or approved by the election commission, with apparent self-interest in mind. His resisnation and the sub-iequent dissolution of rhe election c=ommission midwaythrough the process wzrs one of the primary reasons theelection was thrown into chaos. This, again, served hisself-interest as shown by his almost instantaneous a1>pointnent to ccchair a candidate's campaign and rtmas a write-in candidate himself.

In the short time that the new SGA has been insession, we have faced dre difficult task of overcom-ing last year's disarray and streamlining the process sothere is not a repeat sihration, not exactly an easy feat

considering that 75 percent of the memben are new.This includes many hours spent approving the newlyrewritten election bylaws and policy manual in order toassure they are fair, equitable and will ensure a smoothelection process this year. ln additiorq we have beeninvolved in such issues as gathering information on al-temative sources of health insura.nce for students (stopby the SGA office for a list of providers), ffghting forfreedom of speech on carnpus, restruchrring of frrndallocation in order to ffeate a more eouitable distribu-tion to benefft all student groups, and we had a hand inorganizing donations for victims of Hurricane Katrina

As for Mr. Franklin's personal attacks on the newSGA organization, l'm nuprised that he was able toform such opinions without ever having come to anymeetings, inhoduced hlmself to any of the new mem-ben, or taken part in any way other than to complainabout last year's problems.

Perhaps the reason for this is that Mr. Franklin isactually unaware that the majority of the current SGAwas completely uninvolved with last year's electionprocess. We shongly encourage not only him, but allshrdents to come meet with us, work with us and getto know us before afiaching last yeais baggage to analmost entirely new organization.

We have weekly meetings on Wednesdays at 4o.m. in Tivoli 329 and our offices are in Tivoli Roorn307. Please come by and speak with us. We're here torepresent the student body and we more than welcomeyour input to help guide our actions and improve stu-dent Me.

To KilI a Mockinsbird (1962)This fflrn stands as a benchmark in

American cinema, a work that takes its placearnong staples for its iconographic and cul-tural significance.

Like Harper Lee's novel that inspiredthe fflm, "To Kill a Mockingbird," directedby Robert Muilig- ("hrside Daisy Clover,'"The Man in the Moon'), works on manynarrative levels. It is a coming-of-age story,a social documentary of American race rela-tions during the 1950s and, ffnally, a parablethat explores human appearances, substanceand redemption.

Atticus Finch, played with a quiet dignityby Gregory Peck, is an Alabama lawyer whotackles confoversial cases and fights fiercely

for his ideological convictions. As a parentof two children, Scout (Mary Badham) andJem philip Alford), Finch staads as an en-dearing and inspirational role model notonly for his own children, but also for anyattentive audience member. The impact ofPeck's performa:rce is clear in the fact thatAfticus Finch has consistendy been r.otedamong the al-time favori@ -orri" ah"raat"r,in the American Film Institute's survey.

What's more, Robert Duvall's silent por-hayal of Boo Radley is an auspicious detulas his moving performance conveys a host ofemotions and sentiments. Although the paceof the film may seem sluggish to modemaudiences, the qualty of the content ffts thepacing. Harper Lee's tale of hurnan &gnity

and justice resonates in every frame of thisclassic and defining filrn.

The l,egacy reissue serves more as a trib-ute to the late Gregory Peck than a compre.hensive retrospective of the fflm itself. Thereare documentaries on the actor. a clio of hisOscar acceptance speech ard even a writtenkibute to the actor by Harper ke.

Although the DVD includes a packageof miniature movie posters and productionnotes on the ffhn, the 2disc set is clearly apaean to Peck. For buffs seeking a morecomplete view, the focus on the actor mayseem narrow in its orientation. Still, after ex,ploring this sel it is impossible to deny thegrace, dignity and convicti.on of the fflm'sstar.

The Deer HLrnter (1978)More a social and psychological con-

demnation of war than a facfiral account,"The Deer Hunter" illushates the futilitv andhorror of badle in its constant metaphorsand characterdriven narrative. Director Mi,chael Cimino dwells on the social and psy-chological casualcies o[ rhe war .hi]e cbmmenting on the fue nahre of friendship andbravery.

The filrn follor,rs the odyssey of tbreebest friends fiom a small torvn in rural Penn-syh'ania, played bv Robert DeNiro, Christapher Walken and John Savage. They enlisttogether to fight in Viehnm, and the horrorthey find in the jungle sets each onro a sepa-rate and express path to their own personalhell. Gmino's masterful use of repeated images and metaphors gives ihe fflm a stun-ning constarcy, despite the sta-rk contrastbehveen settings and the grand scope ofthe fflrn. For example, the deadly game ofRussian roulette firnctions as its own entitvin the film, recurring as a reminder of thefilm's underlydng message. lVinner of fiveAcademy Aw'ards, including Best Picture,Best Director and Best Actor for Christapher Walken, this is more than a simple warmovie. Or-er 25 yean a-fter its release, theinsight and impact of "The Deer Hunter" isjust as immediate, just as affecting.

Unfortunately, the L,egacy D\rD doesnot boast any spectacular bonus feafures.Though the cornmentary is insighffirl andthe production notes informative, there islitrle to merit a second disc. The outtakesare centered mainly on one section of thefflm, the famous Russian rouletle sequence.Although the extra footage is revealing, itpales in comparison to the take that madethe final cuL Also included are original eail-ers and the Best Picture acceptance speechat the Oscar ceremony. which serve as foot-notes to the intense impact of the fflrn itself.Although the extra feitures are weak, thequality of the sound and pichrre on the filmitself make the package worthwhile.

The Stins {i973)One of the greatest accomplishments of

"The Sting" is its masterfrrl combination oftwo unlikely genres: the heist filrn and theperiod piece.

It functions effectively as both, as thetense and engaging crime story unfirrlsagainst the ambience of 1936 Chicago. Tapping into the chemistry that made "ButchCassidy and the Sundance Kid" such a suc-cess, Robert Redford and Paul Newmanplay two salry and scamming crooks on theprow-l for the ultima0e score.

Their chosen mark, brought to sleazylife b,v Robert Shaw (Jaws"), is a criminalbanker w'ho controls a vast illegal nehvork.

Not only does director George RoyHill ("Slapshot," "The World Accordingto Garp") weave ar involved and engagingplot that mzrnages to surprise until the lastscene, but he also manages to infuse thestory wiih a good deal of heart.

Newman and Redford play the ultimateanti heroes, characters that caphrre the ryrnpathies of the audience even as they cheatand dupe their way to fortune.

As an atrnospheric aid, the soundtrackis composed entirely of ScoS Joplin pianorags, music that does much to recreate themood and feel of the 1930s. Winner of sev-en Academy Awards including Best Picture,"The Sting" is simultaneously a classic com-edy, drama and crime flick.

The kgacy DVD release includes ex-tensive commentaries and interviews withRobert Redford, Paul Newman, and othermembers of the cast. The interviews givea vivid porhait of the late directoq GeorgeRoy Hill, who died in 2002.

The interviews are revealing, both forthe background they give on the filn itselfand for their revelations about wea-knessesof the studio in the early 1970s.

Production notes and orieinal trailersround out the twodisc set.

THE T{ETROPOLITAN . SEPT

Mile High Club fl:ffi fiHj?Lff11i;ffiil'nes newBy Nlichael [email protected]

Many students at Metro have no idea that the schooloffers an aviation degree, or that we have one of the bestaviation prograrns in the nation. Many don't even know wehave one of the largest simulator labs in the country. Still,the best-kept secret about Metro's aviation depa.rtrnent maybe that it is home to some of the most involved sh.rdenson carnDus.

The Seventl Street building, located on the west side ofc.unpus, is hard to miss. It is the only building on campustopped with anteffias, weather satellites and a windsock.The interior provides further clues as to how these studentslive. Inside you'll ffnd aviation posten and flight magazines.The Seventh Street classroom is the center for all aviationstudenb on campus to gather and compa-re flight stories,prepare for classes and get advice from their professors.

What seti this departrnent apart from any other is thepassion the studens ihare for wiat thev are doing. In ad-dition to their classes, aviation sbrdents must obtain theirpilot's license from different airporis located in the area,making it easy for students to run into each other whileon the flight line. They share the expenses of a llight witheach other, swap stories of past flight experiences or evenhade tips on how to get their nert license, creating a socialnetwork within the denarunenL

ln addition to its friendly students, Metro's aviation pro-gram has some of the most active student organizations oncampus. From the school's highly competitive flight teamto one of the school's oldest active fraternities, the depart-ment is busy.

Alpha Eta Rho, a professional aviation fratemity, is con-standy involved with the school and community. They grvetheir time to such evenb as the Hurricane Katrina fund-rais-er being held later this month. They also donate food andfly it throughout the state in an effort to feed the hungry.Not only do the memben of this fratemity volunteer theirtime to the community, but they also provide a socia.l oudetto their members, gathering together for a fly-in 0o a localairpo$ or even having a pady to celebrale the completionof fina]s.

The American Association of Airport Executives pro-vides the same community and social services as AlphaEta Rho, but with an emphasis on those who prefer not tofly. This organizarion is resewed for those Aviation majorswho participate in the other ffelds of aerospace. Airportma.nagers, engineers and even air traffic controllers countthemselves as memben. AAAE is a popular and professional organization dedicaled to assisting airports and theirexecutives in firlfflling their responsibilities to the commurri-ties they serve.

Metro also has a top-notch flight team, who are mem-bers of the National Intercollegiate Flying Association. Thegroup competes with other colleges in different areas offlight. Adding a competitive nahre to the program, theteam challenges other sh.rdents from around the countrvto find the "top pilol" while earning attention from thedifferent airlines for jobs later in life. The program also offers scholarships, which can help offset the huge expenseincuned from their progressive flight training.

In addition to its outstanding shrdent body, Meho'saviation departrnent boasts a faculty to match. Instructorsinclude some of the most experienced faculty in the cor:n-try, from ffghter pilots to airpot m:rragers. The facultyin the Seventh Street classroom has plenty of real-worldexperience, which makes their advice practical as well asenllghtening. The curriculum in the aviation depaxknent is '

comprehensive, with subjects that range from the impact ofweather on aviation to specialized insh:uction in the simula-tors for airline crew m:uragemenl Essentially, the facultyoffers several classes to help the studens with what theyreally need to know to succeed in the ffeld.

The aviation departnent at Meho is a large part of theciunpus, providing aerospace instruction to over 500 s[-r-dents. Colorado is one of the nation's leaders in aerospace,and because of the dedication of both the faculty and str-denb in Meho's aviation departrnent you c.rn count onColorado lemaining a top leader in the future of aviation.

f/\/ ciation of America suing anyoneY Y they can identif and the Supreme

Court coming down ffrmly on the side ofthe music companies, whads an eager MP3junkie to do? Go legit, of course.

The popularity of Napster and its kinprodded a few brave souls to explore thepossibilities of digital distibution on a largescale. Today, dozens of competing servicesoffer ways for fans to dollnload music leg.tty

The iTunes Music Store was the ffrstservice to push paid downloads into themainstrearn. Apple kept the concept simpleand familiar with a sh-aighdorward businessmodel. Single facks sell for $0.99 or wholealbums for $tO und up, with no other sub-soiption fees or obligations.

Once tracks are purchased and down-loaded, tley can be bumed to CD, b:ans-fened to iPods and copied to a limited num-ber of additional computers. Tracks that aredeleted or lost have to be repurchased atfull price. With its excellent selecfion, easeof use and tight integration with Apple's ex-cellent iTunes music applicalion, the service

was an instant success that only now is be-giruring to face any meaningfirl competition.Offering exclusive content and constandyadding new features, such as podcasts and

audio bools, Apple has kept a step ahead ofthe competition.

Rising fiom the ashes of Napster's hugelypopular and hlglrly rllegal sharing service isNapster the f.ily l"gul subscription sewice.Napster offers a different approach thaniTunes. Usen pay a monthly fee-between$10 and $15-to access the entire Napster li-brary. Under ihe basic plan, tracks can oniybe listened to on the host PC with an activesubscription. Higheryiced plans allow thetransfer of songs to compatible portable mu-sic players.

To bum music to a CD or listen to mu-sic once the subscription is lapsed, Napsterrevefts to a very iTuneslike model, sellinghacks for .99 and albums for $10 and up.Altemately, users can forego the subscfiption fees altogether and simply buy tracksas desired.

The combination of near-unlimited ac-cess to a huge library of music, the abi.lity to"share" songs and playliss with other sub-scribers and builFin chat firnctions makesthe new Napster feel a lot like the old Napster---only this time, it costs money.

If p"yiog a dollar per song or rentingmusic doesn't sound appealing, eMusic offers a third altemative. For a monthly sub-scription fee, eMusic users get a set numberof dorvnloads each month. Subscriptionsstart at $9.95 a month for 40 songs, a costof .25 per song. Unused dormloads donot carry over to the next month, makingeMusic best for users that dorrynload a lotof music. Still, for the cost of a single albumon iTunes, eMusic users get three or fouralbums worfh of music. Additional songscan be purchased as "boosier packs." Thesedo*rrloads do not expire and can be usedanytime after they've been purchased.

Unlike both iTunes and Napster, not tomention most other services, eMusic doesnot use any sort of digital rights manage-menL Tracls can be copied to multiplecomputers, bumed to any number of CDsand transferred to any portable MP3 player.They also allow users to dornload any hackthey've previously downloaded witlout itcounting against their monthly downloads, alife saver in the case of a hard drive failure.

All three services offer a huge variety ofmusic. The leader is iTr.rnes, with over 2 mil-lion songs- Napster offers just over a millionand eMusic brings up the rear with 600,000songs in its library.

-<a-

\

\..

Napster andiTunes cover a nicemixture ol mainstream,popular music and more otr"scure selecdons. The eMusic servicefocuses on independent artists, making itslibrary more focused.

Setup on all three services is a simplematter of inputting credit card info andselecting the desired options. Napster andiTunes require the use of specific applica-tions. The applications are free, but userswho prefer a different music player mayffnd this irritating. By conb:as! eMusic workswithin a browser. like anv other Website. Anoptional toolbar plug-in and dorvnload man-ager extend the functionality of the service.

Each service uses a diferent format,which can cause some confusion. Napster'sffles are not compatible with iPods. The fflessold on iTunes work on\ with iPods andiTunes. Only eMusic offers the univenallycomoatible MP3 files. These should work inany ipplication and with any portable musicplayer, including the iPod.

It remains to be seen whether the payservices will put a dent in the tide of illegaldo*r oads, but people who want to down-load and stay on the right side of the lawfinally have some options.

In the last 18 months, more than two dozen reporters were questioned or subpoenaed about their confidential so{rrces. New York Times

rePorter Judith Miller sits in jail and other reporters could face imprisonment. Whhout the promise of confidentialhy, sources-especially

whistleblowers-will not come forward with evidence of wrongdoing in government or the private sector. Confidential sources help get

It seems appropriate that the musicindustry has responded so heavily to thestorm that sunk the birthplace of jazz andarguably the greatest musical ciry in thenation. Even here at the foot of the RockyMountains, talented artists have emergedfrom their basements to play a part in therebuilding of the sunken South.

The Colorado HipHop Coalition(CfIIIq, a local non-profft organizationdedicated to education via the culhreof hiphop, has coordinated a two-nightevent to benefft the hurricane evacueeswho were relocated to Denver, as well asother Louisiana-b ased grassroohtions that are rebuilding in the aftermath ofHurricane Kahina. The firnd+aiser, fear-lessly tided "Kiclcin' Katrina to the Curb,"will feahre jq.', reggae and hiphop musicfrom local artists Nuvera's Down, BabahFly, Aposde, laz-yfase, DJJonas, The Flo-bots. Ten Tiers. and Sunset Curse.

"We were gesing really frust-atedwatching the news," said Caitlin Brozra,event coordinator for CHHC, "We had nomonetary fi:nds to donate, so this is the'shrving artists' way of conkibuting. Ourcommunities play a big role-it's our dutyas Americans azl individuals to come to-gether because individuals can make a dif-ference, Iike the butterflv effect."

For many 'starving artists," playing volunteer gigs is nothing new, but while thismay be the case, their conhibution to theseevents can help entire families receive cru-cial everyday goods. Dudng times such asthis, the clock stops for just a moment andwe are able to experience genuine acts ofkindness and compassion from around theglobe. While there are coundess ways todonate and conh:ibute to the many reliefeflorts taking place, this kind of fi-rnd-rais-ing gives people an opportunity to supportlocal evacuees and local artists-and havea good tjme doing it.

Breoking new groundfumpirg,spinnirg andbouncirg into b-boy culture

By Justin [email protected]

I've been an active pafiicipant in alelements of hiphop culhrre since the 6sgrade. I hied emceeing and failed miserablybecause I hate to speak my mind aroundskangers. I DJed for a while, but felt I waswasting money on vinyl singles when I couldjust buy the whole album. I dabbled in thegraftti scene for a long time too, but quitbecause I didn't want a felony record. Now,lve finally broken into b-boy culture. fm ata fork in the road and three weels into train-ing for my break dancing career.

It's 6:30 on a ctrilly Tuesday night as Istand in &e middle of a puddle of sweattrat's collected on the scufied-up linoleumfloor in The Spot's break dancing room.

The Spot is a corrmrmity outreach cen-ter located just north of downtown, on 2Fand Stout lt's the place Denveds hiphopheads congregate, a hiphop college. Here,they can leam how 0o produce beals, writerhymeq develop gnfrU-lnspired ars'vorkand leam how to break dance. That's thereason fm here. to leam how to break

After l0 minutes Im out of breath, nrylegs ache and my stroulder is killing me. lmout of shape and a bit discouraged by thewhole thing. I should have stsetched beforeI started. Hell, I need to start working outI have no musdes, terible endurance and Ican barely muster any stength in my legs.I'm done before I even begin.

As bad as the aches and pains is thecrowd of hecklen. As their snickers comemore often I become nervous and transitioninto the Uprocls, the one move I feel com-fortable doing.

The Uprock is a basic skill, the danceused as a leadin to the achral breaking. I'mac0rally pretty good at'it. I have the hand-eye coordination down and my moves floweasily. Uprocking consisb of quick diagonalfootwork and a coordinated swinging ofthe arms while traversing the floor in an ag-gressive manner. It's a very stylized danceand each breaker has his own unique wayof executing iL I've dubbed mine the "StopFrontin', Yol' As I perform it I feel like ahardheaded protestor harassing the fron!lines of a police barricade.

Finally, exhausted from 10 rninutes ofUprocking, I wipe the sweat offmy foreheadand step off the linoleum floor. Now the realb-boys take over.

They converge upon the tigbt qpace likea team of Olympic $/rrmasts stepping ontothe global stage. Their Uprocks are furiousand astonishing. One breaker drows in legtwisb as he drops to the floor with armscrossed. He tuists his right leg around as hefirmly planb his left hand on the floor.

Fate kicks his set off with a bizarre Uprock, He incorporates the Robot (a mecha-nized movement of the limbs) into it, somecriss-crossing footwork and flailing armspins. After three minutes of thag he dropsbackwards to the floor, He lands on hishands and contorts his legs aromd his headlike a rag doll.

On SepL 13, in the Auraria Event Cen-ter. the Metro women's vollevball tearn wasstriking

The Roadrunners' power and skillscame alive in the threegame sweep againstColorado Christian University with conquer-ing scores of 3GI6, 3G5, and 3G15.

Both victories came in Rocky MountainAthletic Conference play.

"I think we played really we[" saidRoadrunner coach Debbie Hendricks. 'We

did not lose focus or get sloppy. We man-aged to keep control despite the other sideand I think that shows some maturity."

Mahrity is saying the least for the Road-runners, who have come a long way sincethe tough losses they faced against University of Nebraska-Kearney and Fort Hays StateUniversitv on SeoL 9 and 10.

Sx piayers hid at least five kills earh forMetro. The effort was led by Stefanie Alli-son and Megan Witienburg, each with eighrSheena Mclaugtrlin and Renee Hazlewoodhad six kills individually. Taryn Drescherhad 14 digs and freshrnan Kyhe Schmeeckleserved four aces, all in game three.

When asked about the 16 unansweredpoints in the second game, it was easy tosee Hendricks was a proud coach of her of-rense.

"Stefanie did a fantastic job; she was re.ally aggressive and did not break focus,"Hendricks said. "The offense was reallybalanced. We executed a good flow andshowed some great playing."

Wittr the win over the Cougars, Metroadvanced to .15 overall, 1-2 in the RMAC.Team members said they have a positive at-tihrde and that tley're continuing to prog-ress and improve as the season rolls on.

'We got set back last weekend talkedabout it and we focused on our houbles andresponded to them," said Coach Hendricks."We need to work on our unforced errorsand have a more consistent attitude and ag-gressiveness. "

After the win over the Cougars, thewomen's volleyball team went back to Ne-braska to face Chadron State College onSepL 16.

The Roadnrnners earned their secondconsecutive sweep against the tr'sgles as theywent on to defeat Chadron 3{.

Metro hit an outstanding .656 in gameone and swept Chadron 3G20, 3G23 and 3G16 in conference play at Annstrong Gym.

The 'Rr.urners' playen put up more bignumbers in the win over the Eagles, who arenow l-10 in the 2005 regulat season.

'The ffrst game was one of our best allvear.' said Hendricks. "We moved the ballaround well and our oubide hiuers playedvery well. Offensively, we were very efiec-tive in that ffrst game."

Senior Sheena Md,aughlin led the wayfor Meho with 16 kills in the match, whilesophomore setter Gabriell Curtis provided astaggering 4fl assists.

Mebo was quick on offense and ffnishedoff ib opponent in a mere hour and 27 min-utes. .

Junior Stephanie Allison was honored asan RMAC "Ace" Performer for her week-four effort Allison had 8 kills agajnst CCUand another t5 against Chadron State. Herafiack percentage was a seasonhigh of .28lil.

With the win on the road, the 'Runners

worked their way above a .500 winning per-centage. They axe now 5S on the seasonand 2-2 in the RMAC.

The Roadnmners continue the RMACseason SepL 23 at dre Auraria Event Centerwhen they host Colorado School of Mines.

Roodrunners cross counlry roces h build new sporls legocyBy JennaWbodman

[email protected]

The Metro cross cormtry team memberslaced up their running shoes and got readyto run last weekend at the Univenity of Ne-braska Invitational.

With eight women and l0 men on theroster and accomplished runner PeterJulianas head coach, the Roadrurmen have be-gun their ffrst season as a vaxsity qport withmuch shength and enthusia-sm.

'The season is off to a strong start andthere are a lot of people with talent who justneed to ffnd it " said juniorJosh Tate.

Widr no seniors on the team, and thisonly the ffrst year, this is a very young teamin the eyes of most of its opponents.

uWe have only had one meet and weare a really yormg team," saidJulian, "Ourinexperience did show tlnoWh."

In *reir ffnt evenL three of the Metro

women placed in the top 25 at the timetrials at Bufralo Creek in Boulder in earlySeptember. Sitges Manning ffnished second,but plans to red shirt for the ffnt year. Jes-sica Hackbart finished 18th and Lisa Aauinoffnished 25th. For the men, Brice Young inl9a, was the lop finisher.

The 'Rururers most recent meet wasthe Nebraska Invitational in Lincoln, Neb.Overall the women ffnished 24s. FreshmanMeagan Madinez was the top finisher with atime of 23:30 for the 6K course.

The men ffnished 2Sth and Todd Tolen-tono was the top finisher for the merq with atime of 27:1fl rnaking him 73rd.

As for the rest of the season, Julian saidhe.feels the young tearn still has somethingto leaxn.

nThev need a few vears !o develon andto gain more e>perieice and talent and tonot get frushated," saidJulian.

Juliaq feeling optimistic, said starting the

season from scratch can be hard, but over-all, it has its perks.

"There is not any of the junior/seniorleadenhip to count on, it has not yet beenestablished. You do have the individualswho step up and take the reigns. That givesthe others something to look up to. It ismore on the coach to try and show the teamhow things are done," Julian said, "Thereare the advantages, such as being able tostart oul own traditions and not having toworry about living up to old ones."

The team is faced with the challenge ofbeing sr:rror:nded by some of the nation'sbest cross counb:y talenq all of which is inthe Rocky Mountain region.

"I think thal starting from scratch was agood thing,' Tate said. nWe can stzrt tadi-tions and we have formed a bond, too."

The women's next meet is SepL 24th atthe Colorado College Invite in ColoradoSptir5.

SPORTS'Runners dominoleRMAC udversoriesWomen's soccenwins tlvo matches,remains nation's No. 1 ranked team

Bv Jererny [email protected]

The Meho women's soccer tream Dostedtwo more Rocky Mountain Adrletic ionference wins over the lveekend.

Their new season records are 7{ overalland 4{ in the RMAC this season.

The Roadrunnen began the weekendsweep by ousting previously undefeatedFort lewis 42 at Auraria Field on Fridav.The Lady Skyhawks drop to tiI-I overalland i}l in the RMAC.

The two goals given up by the 'Runnen

were the first of the season and the ffrst ofthe year for red shirt freshman goalkeeperRachel Zollner.

"I don't mind grving up the one goal,"Zollner said. "I'd rather have my steak endin a game we win than a game in which rvelose l{."

"It's really the second (goal) that I'mnot happy aboul" Zollner said. "'fwo unan-swered goals, I'm not okay with that."

The last team to score on Meto in theregular season was Regis University on Oct.27,2W4.

SUll, the win did the trick in keeping the'Runners ranked No. I overall.

Meho scored early when tearn captainand senior forward Amy Leicbliter drove a

Jamie Gwinner assist home for a l{ lead inthe 116 minute.

uG"fitrg a win fiom (Fort Lewis) andgiving them their ffrst loss of the vear justmeans that they're going to come after usharder next tjme," I-eichliter said.

The goal opened up the floodgates forthe 'Rururen, who would go inlo halftimewith a 44 lead.

Freshman forward Anne Ormrod soedpast a defender in the 20s minute on KyteeHanavan's assist up the field for the goal.

Hanavan scored iust tbree minutes lateron a through-pass from Leichliter.

Hanavan rounded out her day with an-other goal in the 32d minute to give Meho

a comfortable halftime lead."We came out well in the ffrst half and

we built ourselves a linle bit of a cushion,"head coach Danny Sanchez said, "so thateven though they played w-ell in the secondhalf, r.r.e lvere able to stand up under pressute-"

The first Fort l,ewis goal came in the 65dminute, when Metro defensive back Gwin-ner received a red card for holding. Thelastperson-to-the-goal penalty ended withGwinner's rejection liom the game.

The result was a fiee kick that Fort Levismidfielder Becky Gilmore curv'ed in for thegoal.

Gu'inner missed Sunday's game ag'ainstIv{esa State, but promised to be ready whenthe Roadrunners take on Regis Wednes-duy.

With the 'Runners down a firllback,Gilmore was able to thread a pass to GinnyMaddox for the second goal of the game inthe 83d minute.

The late scoring r,r'ould not tum out tobe enough, however, to boost the Skyhawkspast Meho.

"I think as a whole team we iust let downa lot in the second half," Zollner sald. "Be-ing a man down hurt us and we skuggled tofigure it out and get every-body covered."

Mero managed to rehun to perfectdefensive form and Zollner got back intoher groove as ttre Roadnrnners steamrolledMesa State &0 at Auraria Field Sunday.

Junior forward Hanavan broke away inthe tenth minute of the game with a passfrom Ormrod for her eigh& goal of theseason. The 'Runners headed to the lockerroom with a quiet l{ lead.

Just seven minutes into the second half,Hanavan came back onto Auraria Field withfresh legs, buming by Mesa State defendersfor her ninth goal of the season.

With a 2{ lead, the 'Runners scored anamazing six goals in less than 40 minutes ofremaining play. Ormrod scored her eighthgoal of the season in the 556 minute. Orm-

The win was a Rocky Mormtain Ath-letic Conference game on Friday, Sept 16against the Colorado School of Mines. Thecrosstown rivals carne to Auraria Field forwhat they thought would be a victory. Afterall, the Orediggers hadn't lost a game onMetro soil in over eight years, according toMines' head coach, Frank Kohlenstein.

Saturday, Sept. 17 found the team facingmuch stiffer compettion in the No. l0 na-tionally-ranked Seaffte Paclffc Falcons. Thisgarne was not a conference game, so it heldlifile importance, but that was not evidencedin the level of play from the Mefo Roadnm-ners. Thev clearlv wanted the win.

The game against Mines turned out to

be a rout with a score of .11. 'They playedvery, very well," Kohlenstein said of theMetro tean. "If they play Iike that they'regoing to be a tough team to beaL'

Meho's Shaun Elbaum scored fust withan assist from Aldo Alcaraz-Rsza who wasinjured just a short time later and was car-ried off the field. He will undergo an MRIon his knee this week 'I am hoping for thebesl" he said.

The toughest question for Metro's qportsis, can they keep up with last year? Theshong h-adition of winning is great but therecan be a downside. The bar for success isset even higher than the previous year,

anything else would be insuftcienLOf Metro's fall collegiare programs,

three of the teams won the Rocky MountainAthletic Conference, the women's soccerteam won the national championship andthe men's basketball team was two winsaway from a championship, leaving a lot ofpromise for Fall qporb.

Here are the top ten reasons to watchMeto sporb teams this fall:

lO. lr/elro dub qorts' The club sporb at Meto offer shrdenb

the experience of being a collegiate atldete.The average student is able to give it theirall. These athletes are playing for themselves,their tearn and most irnportandy their pride.When pride and sports come together, com-petition is always at a high.

7 last year) is going to have to rebound afterIosing two of their top duee scorers from lastseason's conference championship team.The team, however, had a solid bench lastseason and is reh:ming with its second lead-ing scorer, sophomore Paige Powers. Withthe addiflon ofjunior ransferJessica Grubbfrom lower Columbia CollegeWashington,solid play from the bench and two fieshmanguards, the team will be batiling against rivalRegis for the conference title.

5. $taun ElbaumSophomore hansfer Shaun Elbaum,

The tearn has a 2}gamewinning streak heading into the season andare 74 this season.

l. Roadrunner basketball dynastyThe men's basketball tea.rn are peren-

nid RM,A,C champions. The big test for thisgoup of playen is to become a new teambut keep the same chemistry. The addedexperience in the coadring staff could leadto a team conditioned to make dre ffnals.

Continucd from 23'I tlink it is a competition and I'm ner-

vous becauge there are a lot of real talentedgirls here," said sophomore Carly lobato.

The anxious contestants wait for the opporbnity to show off in front of the judges.When their time comes, the groups are in-stucted by the judges to line-up in a prede-termined formation to perform their cheen.

After the exhibition, the groups havethe option to hrmble or showcase their upper body stength by launching a fellowcheerleader in the air and catching her. Thegroups that perform the exba stunb eambonus points and have a better chance ofmaking the team.

Out of the 38 hopefi:ls at the tyouts, fiveare burly-looking men. The male attend-ees rarely dance in the routines or attempttr-rmbles, but are a vital part of lifting thegirls up. They are judged by their strengthand ability and are an important part of theteam. The men ftying out are huge; musclesproEude frorn their arms as they lift the girlsup over their heads with only dreir hands.

The girls who are lifted into the air maybe small in stature, but they are enormously -courageous. Pufiing trust in their boosters,they seem to shrug off the fear as they arelifted six to nine feet above the hardwood

floor. The judges look on in approval, oftengasping with amazement as the girls balanceon one leg on the men's hands.

Male and female athletes perforrn danceroutines and hrmbles in groups of four infront of the three-judge panel. Aspirantsconfidently leap into the air with phlsicalfinesse and smiles on their faces.Judges arelooking for people who are fr:ll of charisma,conffdent in their abilities, can successfrrllyproject their voice and are able to executebasic moves.

"ICs hard rying to tumble on a hard-wood floor," Lobato said after her perfor-mance in front of the judging panel. She isconfident in her abilities and is zure she hasmade the team.

'It s hard to cut people," said MetroCheerleading coach Keith Espinosa- Onlyabout 20 of the athletes who anended thetyouts will make the team.

A commitrnent is required of those whomake the team. This year, the cheerleadingsquad will be in attendance at all Mebosporting events, whether they are cheeringor not. Coaches are making it mandatoryfor all of the cheerleaders to exhibit schoolspirit and "make noise" at the evenb.

Watch for the Metro cheerleaders toboost school spirit at upcoming Roadrunnerevents.

The game on Saturday was more of anail-bite5 as was expected. Meto, on ibhome tud faced No. l0 Seatde Paciffc Uni-versity.

The Falcons drew ffrst blood on a shotthat was deflected by a Metro fr,rllback. TheFalcon's Jef Hallenbeck was in the rightplace-at the right time and booted it in fora goar.

The 'Rurmers countered quickly with agoal from Elbaum, with an assist by Cous-ins. Cousins faked a pass reception on theleft side of the field by leaing the ball rollright on by him. The defender played himas if he were going to Urrn in with the ball.Cousins, instea4 hrmed out and dribbleddown the sideline. He used his great speedto beat a second defender before he passedinside to Elbam for the goal.

showed great skill this weekmd. He madea number of tremendous saves and reallykept his team in the game. He suffered somecriticism for a lackluster effort in last week'sgame against Fort Lewis. He sat back onthe line at the wrong time, instead of goingto the baII and taking the angle away onshob.

This week McReary was a difierentplayer. He attacked everything. He leapt inthe air between opposing playen to knockthe ball away. He also dove to the side toblock hard shob and generally created may-hem for the opposing ofiense. That style ofplay proved to be the difierence on the defensive end.

Meko held the lead until iust under 14minutes to play. The Falcons" scored on acomer kick There must have been a missedcall by the referee and Iine judge as everyMetro player stopped and yelled, "handball." Unfortunabln the Falcons didn't joinin. Instead, they scored a goal while the defense was standing still.

The Falcons scored ag'ain a few minuteslater from the left side of the field on a longshot that found a home in the right side ofthe nel
