“Trashin’ up” Union Station Artist uses sea trash to raise awareness

By Joella Baumann jbauma17@msudenver.edu

T

he hustle of an awakening metropolis unfolded in front of Union Station on Friday, Sept. 23, as commuters and tourist shuffled to and fro pulling suitcases,

dragging from cigarettes and sipping from steaming cups.

Amid the normal Friday morning chaos, there was Octavia the octopus, frozen atop a pile of garbage. There was a cooler filled with empty crushed soda cans, remnants of a plastic chair, fish netting and what looked to be a kitchen sink. One of her red-orange

tentacles stretched toward the sky, the end of it stuck in what looked like the yellow handle of a plastic toddler bike. Another wrapped around the neck of a plastic black goose.

Upon closer inspection, one could see that Octavia herself was designed from a mish mash of plastic things. The assortment consisted of some recognizable plastics like

bottle caps, lighters and flip-flops and other items beyond recognition.

This 850-pound sculpture, made almost entirely from trash, was hauled in and placed in front of one of Denver’s landmark locations as a beacon to the rest of the exhibit located at the Denver Zoo.

Bookstore battles shortages and online competition

By Cassie Ballard cballer7@msudenver.edu

Despite improvements made to the bookstore, such as a new charge program, some students are still having issues with the Tivoli Station.

“I ordered six books. One of them I paid for and never received, and I ended up having to go to the library and check it out in order to do my homework. I’ve only received two of the six books I purchased,” said Amber Sullivan, a UCD writing major. “I did choose to go to the bookstore because they were cheaper. They were about $2 cheaper than anything I found on Amazon, except for one book, so that is why I opted to do the bookstore this time around.”

Another UCD student, Bowen Hosford, had the same delay. When Sullivan and Hosford ordered their books, there was no indication the books were not available. Now, the website has added a red button warning students that the book is not available and will be on back order. A month into the semester, Hosford has finally received his books, but Sullivan is still not sure when hers will come.

Online orders for the bookstore grew 70 percent, according to Tivoli Station director Michael Clarke. The bookstore faces new challenges due to the rapid growth of the online business. Clarke said that if the last book available is bought online by a student, a different student could still walk in and buy the book off the shelf before the online

order is processed.

Despite the problems, Clarke said the bookstore has been working to meet the demands for cheaper textbooks while also making the process more convenient for students. Changes include offering book rentals and a credit system to buy books in the first month of classes each semester.

“We introduced what we call a charge program where we asked CU Denver and MSU Denver to make $500 available per student, so they can use that money to charge textbooks,” Clarke said. About 2,500 students used the charge program with 80 percent of them being MSU Denver students.

In order to keep up with the prices of online competitors, the bookstore has reduced its income to a low 20 percent profit margin.

“Textbooks in terms of markup and margin is very low. The industry average is somewhere between 20 and 25 percent, but over the last few years we’ve even come down,” Clarke said.

Textbooks make up around 75 percent to 80 percent of revenue for the bookstore, according to Clarke.

Revenue has been declining for about roughly five years, Clarke said. The losses are in part due to competition from Amazon.

This year, with all of the new adjustments, including the charge program, the revenue has seemed to level out with last year’s revenue.

Clarke drew a comparison between spending money on campus to an online company. “If you shop on campus, the money stays here on campus,” Clarke said, with all

money going back to AHEC for campusrelated programs.

“Really, the whole idea behind it is to provide the service for the students. We all work here, we work for the students. We are a campus entity,” Clarke said.

The bookstore uses a database to notify students when a book is in. However, problems persist.

“It said ‘available’ when I was going through the store, and then I got an email

days after I paid for it saying that four of my books were on back order,” Sullivan said.

“That was the second or third day of classes.”

MSU Denver student Pete Frank is excited about the new changes being made to the store. Frank only purchases his books from Amazon, and has avoided the bookstore in the past. “They’re like a dinosaur, but they’re catching up,” he said.

Turnhalle screens first of three debate fight nights

By Esteban Fernandez eferna14@msudenver.edu

Verbal jabs were thrown in the Tivoli Turnhalle as presidential candidates Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton sparred in the first debate of the general

election. Billed as Monday Night Fight by the Department of Communication Arts and Sciences, which hosted the event, students gathered to watch both presidential hopefuls argue about trade, immigration, race, foreign policy and scandal. Lambda Pi Eta, a communications honor society, was also

on hand to sponsor the event.

“The trouble with decisions like this, when it comes to choosing a candidate for any sort of political office, of course the presidential being the highest level, is you can’t put too much stock in what is said,” said Austin Evans, an MSU Denver student at the event. “What is said is empty. You have to look at past actions.”

Evans said he neither had the resources nor time to directly participate in a political campaign. What he could do, he said, was watch the debate as part of his duty as a member of the American body politic.

“I challenge you to listen to [the debate], to give critical care to the thought and consideration to who you’re going to vote for. It’s not as simple as Trump’s mean, Hillary’s a women,” Evans said.

“We need to actually look at where they stand on certain issues. Be mindful that they may not act on what they’ve said.

Let’s move beyond the petty politics.”

With only 42 days left until the election, FiveThirtyEight.com’s polls plus forecast model currently has Clinton at 55 percent and Trump at 44 percent. Even with Election Day around the corner, some students said they were undecided.

MSU Denver student Nikki Davidson was at the debate to learn more about the candidates plans.

“I hate both of them. It’s a very hard position,” she said. Voting in her first election, Davidson is considering a third party candidate for president.

Kendra Tacoronte, an undecided MSU Denver student, said she was not interested in politics, but plans to vote in November. Tacoronte is not considering any third party candidates as she is unfamiliar with them.

MSU Denver student Lexi Knutson was collecting extra credit for a class.

She said she is not interested in politics, but will most likely follow the lead of her Republican family and vote Trump.

Knutson wasn’t the only Trump supporter in the audience. Evans also supports Trump. Although he finds it unlikely Clinton will sway him, he said he will keep an open mind during the debate.

Mike Monsour, a CAS professor, said the department will likely host more watch parties for the two remaining debates based on the success of the first event.

“Debate is the backbone of a democratic society. We try to encourage our students to be as informed about the process as they can be. This is really an educational event as opposed to entertainment,” Monsour said.

Political Panel: Round one of debates The premiere election event of this political season saw Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump square off against each other in the first of three debates. The candidates sparred over trade, national security and race. Devyn Deeter and Esteban Fernandez share their reactions.

Fernandez: The debate has barely ended and already the deluge of commentary is waist deep. Many outlets are calling the debate for Clinton.

Interestingly, right-wing sources are split in their perspectives. Fox News writes about a fiery fi rst debate without assigning a clear winner, while National Review said that Trump got his message out but didn’t call anyone a winner on the front page.

Breitbart called the debate for Trump. My personal view is that while Trump did have moments in which he comported himself well, he never seemed to get under Clinton’s skin. I think it’s too soon to call it for anyone until the real barometer of victory, the polls, swing one way or the other.

venom in this debate came from Clinton, which really shocked me personally. She tried very hard to spin a narrative that he evades taxes, is racist and is sexist toward women. Th is is a very desperate move on her part. For instance, when Trump said that inner-city communities face alarmingly high murder rates, she twisted his words into “a dire picture of black communities.” Trump fact-checked himself on stage, in particular his stance on the Iraq war. When Clinton didn’t have an answer, she called on her personal fact checkers to do her job for her. I do think they both made some great policy remarks and gave Americans some harder numbers to look at, but I will say I was genuinely shocked by her animosity toward Trump.

Deeter: I feel Trump did really well, considering that Clinton has been doing one-on-one debates for years. Th is was Trump’s fi rst experience in a face-to-face debate. The deck was stacked against him, and we can expect him to do even better in the future two debates. I think much of the

Fernandez: I don’t think any one side had a monopoly on venom. Trump was more direct in his attacks, while Clinton played bemused and sly in her replies.

As far as the tax question goes, Trump could deflate any attack by releasing his tax returns, but refuses to do so. Clinton’s transparency as far as her health goes came up frequently over the last two weeks, and yet the same level is not expected of Trump when it comes to his tax returns. While it may be argued taxes fall under a personal purview, running for the highest office in the United States makes one’s tax record open to scrutiny. Does he evade taxes?

Unfortunately, Trump has not provided the one piece of evidence that could silence the debate. I think it is a fair question to ask, why he hasn’t released them.

Deeter: Personally, I feel that Clinton started in with the attacks before Trump and wasn’t necessarily “sly” about it.

They were certainly both hurling insults, however. With Clinton’s health, there was not any pressure for transparency until she collapsed at a public event. Before that it was openly labeled as a conspiracy theory. I agree that Trump should consider releasing his tax records, as it gives Clinton an excuse to say he is in debt or not charitable. I’m sure he pays less in income tax than would be expected, as his money may be invested or tied up, but the same could easily be said about Clinton and the amount of money she doesn’t claim from the Clinton Foundation. I also feel that they focused on ISIS as well as the economy quite a bit in this debate. Trump even gave specific numbers for taxes he would change to help businesses and make more jobs. There are still two more debates to come, and I’m sure they will touch on more issues.

Runner on the Street: Debate edition “My thoughts on the debate was, we’re screwed. Trump makes no proposals, pretty much.

He doesn’t explain any of his ideas and how he’s going to put them into action. Hillary has plans that are great and all, but she doesn’t explain how they’re going to put them in action.”

Mason Gutrough, CU Denver, Accounting, Sophomore

“The debate seemed more like a reality TV show than any actual political debate. Hillary’s website turning into a fact-checker was honestly hilarious and I loved it.”

Brannon Guist, CU Denver, International Studies, Sophomore

“I would argue that the polls are going to sway heavily in [Trump’s] favor.

I do not see how the fake smile is going to dupe the people when a lot of economic figures like GDP are dismal. I don’t see how they’re going to be duped.

n an interesting twist, a Democratic presidential nominee could perhaps be a larger supporter of free trade than the Republican nominee for president.

Donald Trump has consistently been a critic of current free trade deals such as the North American Free Trade Agreement, and has proposed various ideas such as imposing a 45 percent tax on imported goods from China. He also proposed a 35 percent tax, or tariff, on goods from Mexico. This would impact Ford, were the company to build car plants there.

He was hardly alone in his skepticism regarding the benefits of free trade this election cycle. Democratic senator Bernie Sanders in his run for the Democratic nomination also heavily criticized free trade, arguing that it was harmful to the poor.

These views are both misguided.

According to a survey of economists taken by Harvard professor Greg Mankiw, 93 percent of economists agree that tariffs and quotas reduce economic welfare. Another survey done by the American Economic Association says that 87.5 percent of economists surveyed believed in eliminating tariffs and other barriers to trade.

The view is not a partisan one.

Nobel prize winning economist Paul Krugman once quipped that “If there were an economist’s creed, it would surely contain the affirmations ‘I understand the Principle of Comparative Advantage’ and ‘I advocate free trade.’”

Trump’s threat of tariffs against other nations should not be taken lightly. In response to the Great Depression, the Smoot-Hawley Act, signed by President Herbert Hoover, raised tariffs in order to raise more revenue and create more American jobs for the federal government.

Instead, this caused a trade war with other nations such as Canada, and helped worsen the depression that it was meant to relieve.

Trump likes to remind his loyal base of supporters that he will “Make America Great Again.” If that is truly what he intends to do, it would be wise of him to avoid paths that once pulled America into its darkest hour.

A CLOSER LOOK AT TRADE: Trade currently makes up roughly 25 percent of the U.S. economy. The Obama administration turned to trade liberalization in the wake of the Great Recession to boost the economic recovery. In 2011, the administration ratified several stalled free trade agreements negotiated by the Bush Administration.

In a foreign policy address, Donald Trump warned against what he called the false song of Globalism. According to Trump’s economic plan, he wants to pull the United States out of the World Trade Organization.

He also supports renegotiating major U.S. trade deals such as NAFTA. Trump has also proposed slapping taxes on imports from Mexico and China, which he claims would encourage sales of American products domestically.

hile working in an adult entertainment store, I noticed that anal play has taken a more popular turn. Healthy anal practices are still not discussed as much as they should be. When done properly, anal sex can be a highly erotic and pleasurable experience. With one or more partners it will create a bond that is kept strong with good communication and trust.

Alone, anal play can be equally satisfying, as it provides time for sexual enlightenment and exploration.

The first time, anal play can be a little intimidating and many people don’t even know where to start. During my time at the sex shop, a majority of the questions I was asked were about anal. Most questions were easy to clear up but several were concerning.

The amount of customers inquiring about Anal-Ese, a numbing agent, astounded me. It can be very dangerous to use a numbing cream during any kind of first-time anal insertion. Rectal tissue is extremely delicate, and if the person is using the cream to mask the pain, something detrimental could be occurring without their knowledge. Although pain for pleasure during sexual escapades is often welcomed, this is the kind of discomfort that needs to be paid close attention to. Well-prepared for anal should not hurt!

Getting ready to have anal sex for the first time can be a long process, but it can be just as enjoyable as the act itself. The first thing to consider is lube. There are hundreds of different lubrication products on the market that make anal specific lubes and they all claim to have created the best product. Sliquid makes a wonderful vegan, water-based lube that is compatible with all sex toys. My personal favorite is Überlube which is silicone based and prevents uncomfortable friction. The only thing to remember with any silicone or hybrid lube is to NEVER use it with silicone toys.

The two forms of silicone react badly when placed together and it will ruin the toy.

Once a lube has been selected it can be tested out by inserting a finger or a small toy. I started out with a set of anal beads that increased in size. In addition to being stimulating, they help prepare that area for larger objects. A metal or glass butt plug can also aid in preparation as they are available in various sizes. Length and duration of preparation for anal sex or the insertion of a larger dildo/toy depends on the person specifically.

Although usually unneeded during small anal insertions, using an enema a few hours before anal sex or larger anal play can definitely help. Enemas are devices meant to cleanse the anal cavity. They can be found at any convenience store. Remember to dump out the saline solution that comes inside of the enema and instead use sterile water. The goal is to clean out the anal cavity, not to get a horribly upset stomach. Lastly, accidents may happen but luckily they are rare.

Remember, anal sex is not for everyone.Sexuality is fluid and therefore no two beings are alike. If having anal seems uncomfortable it’s perfectly acceptable to say no, but don’t write this off as a completely unenjoyable experience.

“In 1965 it was a totally different situation than it is now. It was a brand new first year of the school.... This has become such a magnificent place, and yet it has that same feeling as it did back in 1965!”

An original Roadrunner, alumnus Hinshaw has returned to MSU Denver for his degree in psychology.

Charles Hinshaw: Education knows no age

By Andrea Herrera aherre38@msudenver.edu Charles Hinshaw attended his first semester at MSU Denver in 1965. Hinshaw did not finish his degree then, as he suffered with some obstacles in his life, but after 50 years he is back.

Seventy-year-old Hinshaw is starting off the year with two to three classes each semester.

“In 1965 it was a totally different situation than it is now.

It was a brand new first year of the school. There was a sevenstory building right at the corner of 14th and Cherokee and that was the main student building,” Hinshaw said.

There were neither student activities nor student centers. The campus was made up of the main student building and a few other classrooms along West Colfax Avenue. However, it does not compare with what MSU Denver has today.

Although MSU Denver is now surrounded by contemporary looking buildings and new renovations, Hinshaw’s reasoning and motivation behind returning was thanks to his wife.

“My wife inspired me to return because I was profoundly depressed and she more or less told me that if I didn’t get up and go with her that she was going to leave me behind,” Hinshaw said.

During this period Hinshaw went through a strong depression and decided to give up on life. Hinshaw spent his career refurbishing pianos and furniture pieces. He worked on beautiful 9-foot-long grand pianos, which allowed him to open up his own business. Hinshaw had always been a musician and enjoyed spending his time fixing up pianos and finding new ways to better them.

Making, fixing and playing the piano was a passion Hinshaw had since he was young. He was able to nurture this passion through

his work. After having been employed at the piano company for 40 years the company went out of business, because of the decline in piano purchases This was a major factor that came into play with his depression. Unemployed and depressed, Hinshaw turned to drugs and alcohol.

Later, Hinshaw attempted to better his life and registered at Red Rocks Community College. His depression kept this from being a successful endeavor. Not able to continue with his education at Red Rocks Community College, Hinshaw’s wife, Teddy Rowe, decided something had to be done. “ I wouldn’t leave him behind. I couldn’t,” Rowe said.

Once Hinshaw understood his wife’s frustration, he decided to do something and follow in her footsteps.

“I would have to let her go and I certainly wasn’t going to let her go,” Hinshaw said.

“It was something that I had to do. I couldn’t stand seeing him depressed and doing nothing with his life anymore. It was getting too old and something had to be done,” Rowe said.

After declaring a major, the rest of the road became clear for this returning Roadrunner.

“Everyone here in the Auraria Campus was very helpful,”Hinshaw said. “The only issue I faced was being labeled as a returning student. Even after 50 years, they still considered me an original Roadrunner,” Hinshaw said.

The only difference was that his extended lead was longer than most returning students.

Hinshaw met difficulty with

his credit transfers. Many of the classes from 1965 have been done away with and their replacements may not hold any similarities.

Nevertheless, after some paperwork , Hinshaw was able to continue on with his education and strive for his goal of becoming a clinical psychologist and devoting himself to helping people overcome addictions.

“I think it’s a great decision.

Who else would know more and help more than an individual who actually went through what most patients will go through,” said Rowe.

If it were not for the university, Hinshaw might not have been able to continue with his education.

His first intent was to attend Regis University because of his major, but he ended up back at MSU Denver.

“Whoa, look how much this has changed. It’s such a fabulous place. It’s got all these old buildings with the unique architecture and these fabulous new buildings,”Hinshaw said nostalgically. “This has become such a magnificent place, and yet it has that same feeling as it did back in 1965!”

Both Hinshaw and his wife are certain that MSU Denver was the right choice. “It’s the best learning environment to have.

I absolutely love the diversity of this multicultural, multiracial, and multi-economic campus,” Hinshaw said.”

Walk shines light into the darkness

By Kayla Klein kgash1@msudenver.edu Thousands of butterflies cascaded over Coors Field on Sept. 24, to honor suicide victims.

“Butterflies are a universal sign of change,” said Elizabeth Knight, an American Foundation for Suicide Prevention volunteer.

Participants in the second annual Denver Metro Out of the Darkness Walk, hosted by AFSP, could purchase a box with butterflies inside to release alongside others who suffered the same loss.

By releasing butterfl ies, those affected by suicide released some emotions as well.

Knight lost a family member to suicide five years ago. As she has volunteered with AFSP, her family has begun talking about the death and letting go of the stigma that suicide often carries.

AFSP hosted the second annual Denver Metro Out of the Darkness Walk at Coors Field.

“The ultimate goal of the walk is to bring people together that have lost someone or are struggling themselves with mental illness or suicidal thoughts,” said chair of the Denver Metro Walk, Laurie Freeman. “To bring them together so they know they’re not alone in their grief or their struggles, and to also bring them information and resources that can assist them in dealing with their loss or help them.”

In 2010, Freeman lost her son and husband to suicide and sought support from AFSP. She worked at the walk at Highlands Ranch High School, then oversaw the walk’s transition to Coors Field. The walk’s growth helps AFSP to raise awareness for suicide.

“When you are at the walk, you’re with other people that have suffered the same kind of loss that you have, so you’ve got this bond, because it’s such a difficult death to talk about,” Freeman said.

The event attracted 2,035 participants who came together to raise awareness for suicide prevention, and help those affected by suicide. As attendees walked the seven laps around Coors Field, they passed various stations with different information to help honor the event’s goal.

The Memory Area featured a memory tree, where participants could hang pictures of the victims. According to AFSP volunteers,

the tree continues growing every year, as AFSP never throws it away.

Past the Memory Area, the Recourse Fair consisted of organizations related to the event’s cause, such as the Eating Disorder Foundation, Douglas County School District, Children’s Hospital and AllHealth Network, to name a few.

Most of these organizations exist to help alleviate mental illness before it drives sufferers to contemplate suicide.

AFSP wants to draw awareness to the fact that suicides can be a result of underlying mental illnesses.

Further along the walk, purple mats lined the path for people to participate in the 22 pushups challenge. Former Marine, Andy Nguyen, created this challenge with Honor Courage Commitment Inc. to encourage its participants to complete 22 pushups in honor of the 22 veterans who take their lives every day.

“The ultimate goal of the walk is to bring people together that have lost someone or are struggling themselves with mental illness or suicidal thoughts.”

- Laurie Freeman The event featured a silent auction area where people could bid on more than 125 items that businesses donated for the cause. When people registered for the walk, they indicated fundraising goals to raise money for AFSP to further promote suicide education and relief. In total, the walk raised $181,332.

The walk also had a photo booth, a poster for participants to write hope notes and information about suicide and mental illness.

There was live MC coverage with Denise Plante of KOSI 101.1 radio and Rashaan Davis from Highlands Ranch High School.

Adrienne Leonard attended the walk and knows fi rsthand about the importance of changing the perception about suicide.

In January, she lost her son Dillon, and

felt a need to participate in the walk to honor his memory and raise awareness for suicide prevention.

“It’s OK to talk about suicide,” Leonard said. “Mental health is like cancer. It’s serious.”

Out of the Darkness Walks occurs throughout the nation, but the Colorado walks began at Highlands Ranch High School.

For seven years, the walk was held there until it outgrew the venue and turned into the

Denver Metro Walk at Coors Field.

Freeman insisted that the walk achieved its goal to raise awareness about suicide and bring people together. AFSP will continue working to bring attention to the problem and create a safe environment for sufferers and their loved ones alike.

“It’s an emotional day with a positive feeling of everyone coming together,” Knight said.

Washed Ashore raises awareness through sea debris

9

Art and trash combine at this special Denver Zoo exhibit

By Joella Baumann jbauma17@msudenver.edu “Octavia the Octopus is here to greet all the visitors at Union Station and direct them to the rest of the exhibit at the Denver Zoo,” said artist and curator of the Washed Ashore program, Angela Halestine Pozzi.

Washed Ashore is a nonprofit organization created by Pozzi to combat the growing problem of plastic waste, the collection of the trash on beaches and its effects on wildlife. Thousands of pounds of trash wash ashore every year and are damaging the delicate eco-system of the ocean.

Pozzi, who grew up near the ocean in Bandin, Oregon, started the Washed Ashore project after turmoil and doubt entered her life.

“The ultimate goal for Washed Ashore is to have more art than garbage.

I’m not going to sell myself short. I’m gonna save the whole ocean.”

— Angela Pozzi “For 25 years I was married to an artist and teacher and he died of a brain tumor. I was kind of left numb for a purpose with my life,” Pozzi said. “I went to the ocean looking for a constant in my

life. I thought this will never change, I was wrong.”

The beach was covered in trash.

The 850 pound Octopus is made out of plastics and other unwanted trash On that beach, like many others around collected from beach shores. Pozzi started collecting trash by herself, but now has over 1,000 volunters that provide her with the material she needs the globe, hundreds to make her art. of plastic water Photos by Abreham Gebreegziabher • agebreeg@msudenver.edu bottles, aluminum 2010 and has grown quickly over the cans, plastic bags last six years. She now has 60 sculptures and other nondescript pieces of garbage around the country, sixteen of which have were marooned there. Pozzi said what she found made her sick to her stomach and in made their way to the Denver Zoo. Denver Zoo’s senior director of that moment her life gained new purpose. guest experience, Brad Parks, had been “I was really lucky to be raised by two following Pozzi and her work since its artists,” said Pozzi of her vision in trash. beginning and picked out the sculptures “The arts were always my first language. that will be housed at the zoo until Jan. 17 I was in art education for 30 years and I of next year. learned to value the arts as a language.”

The mission of the zoo is to engage Washed Ashore started in

guests and secure a better world for animals through human understanding.

For Park, the Washed Ashore exhibit fulfi lls both of those goals.

“We want every family, couple, field trip group, to have this amazing connection to animals and with this in particular, ocean animals,” Parks said.

The Denver Zoo will house 15 other animal sculptures created by Pozzi and her team.

“I honestly never thought we could do this, but we were able to make it happen” said Parks. “After the Lego sculpture exhibit was such a huge success and some changes in management we were able to make it happen.”

The nitty-gritty behind the creation of this art is nowhere near as beautiful as the finished projects. Pozzi and program volunteers spend uncounted hours combing the beaches of garbage. Even more time is spent cleaning and sorting the trash. And while the final projects are beautiful, that is not what Pozzi would like for people to take away from her work.

“I really want to make certain that people understand that although these are beautiful, they are kind of horrifying as well, and they should be,” said Pozzi.

She implores each of us to make saving the ocean apart of our daily lives.

For college age people she understands how hard that can be.

“Buy a reusable water bottle and fi ll it up,” said Pozzi who stated that many of her exhibits are made completely from one-use plastic bottles. “Shop local instead of online to produce less waste. Try and make the next gift you give someone include no plastic. That’s my challenge for young people.”

After “Octavia” was installed, tourists and school groups did exactly as Pozzi and the zoo would hope. They flocked to the sculpture and walked around it examining her in awe and taking pictures.

Pozzi hopes that her project will become global. After looking at one of these sculptures she hopes that each consumer will take a closer look at their own habits and stop using one-use plastics.

“The ultimate goal for Washed Ashore is to have more art than garbage,” Pozzi said. “I’m not gonna sell myself short. I”m gonna save the whole ocean.”

Roadrunner Briefs

mymetmedia.com f: themetropolitan @themetonline

Roadrunners beat bitter rivals

by unleashing an offensive barrage against the Colorado Christian University Cougars in Lakewood on Sept. 23 and finished the game with a 5-1 victory.

The goals came early and often for MSU Denver against the Cougars. Freshman midfielder Dylan Wood knocked in his first goal of the season off of a rebound

in the ninth minute, and an avalanche of goals followed. The Roadrunners doubled their lead in minute 42 when senior forward Jeff Gillis converted a penalty kick for his first goal of 2016. Senior forward Josh Belfrage then scored his team-leading fourth goal of the season on yet another penalty awarded to MSU Denver.

Dustin Berg and Jaydon Moreschini got involved in the action in the second half, both scoring their first goals of the season. Senior goalkeeper Hayden Rus lost his clean sheet in the second half when Cougar forward Blake Goodale converted a penalty kick caused by a handball in the penalty area.

MSU Denver carried the momentum created Sept. 23 into one of their marquee matchups of the season Sept. 25 against the powerhouse Orediggers. Mines won an intense overtime game in 2015 against the Roadrunners 1-0.

MSU Denver exacted their revenge on Sunday, traveling to Golden for the much-anticipated game against

Both teams only managed two shots on goal for the game, but the Roadrunners’ freshman goalkeeper Torres made a huge save in the second half to preserve her clean sheet and

the win. Fort Lewis finished the weekend 3-4-1.

The Roadrunners women continue Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference play with two home games this weekend. Their first

» Women’s golf suffers setback The Roadrunners women’s golf team placed 18th out of 20 in the Mustang Invitational Sept. 19-20.

The women next compete in the West Texas A&M Stampede Oct. 3-4 in Amarillo, Texas.

» Men’s cross country solid at Griak Invitational The Roadrunners men’s cross country team completed in Falcon Heights Minnesota at the Roy Griak Invitational in eighth out of 40 teams this past weekend. Junior Brandon Krage led the Roadrunners for the third straight tournament, and finished No. 21 individually.

Freshman Sam Berg finished second for MSU Denver, coming in at No. 36. The men host the MSU Denver Invitational Oct. 1 at Washington Park in Denver.

» Women’s cross country finishes middle of the pack The women’s cross country team finished the Roy Griak Invitational in 24th place out of 40 teams. Junior Erica Ruiz had the best finish for the Roadrunners, finishing 35th. The women will next compete in the MSU Denver Invitational Oct. 1.

» Men’s tennis grounded at Air Force MSU Denver’s men’s tennis team managed only one match win Sept. 24-25 at the Air Force Invitational in Colorado Springs.

Junior Adam Rivera won his first match against Air Force’s Austin Gula, but lost his second match of the day. No other Roadrunner was able to come away with a victory. The men’s and women’s tennis teams compete next in the Colorado Mesa Duals, Oct. 7-9, in Grand Junction.

The men started the weekend

the rival Orediggers and escaping with a 2-1 win.

The Orediggers got the jump on the Roadrunners early in the match. Cougar forward Trevor Amann netted his seventh goal of the season in the ninth minute.

Then Belfrage took over. He evened the score with a penalty kick goal in minute 16. He scored the game-winning goal with only five minutes left in regulation, and made the trip back to Denver a celebratory one. Belfrage now has six goals on the season.

Setter Brandi Torr sets leadership example

By Earl Grant egrant7@msudenver.edu The 2016 MSU Denver volleyball team is off to an impressive start this season. The Roadrunners are 9-3 overall and 4-0 in RMAC conference play.

The volleyball program stands as a model of consistency, having appeared in 16 consecutive NCAA tournaments.

Every team needs someone to assist in setting a quality example.

Senior setter Brandi Torr serves as the ideal brand ambassador for this year’s team. Torr successfully balances the responsibilities of a student athlete.

Torr made the 2015 spring semester athletic director’s honor roll, with a 3.3 cumulative GPA. A setter’s role in a volleyball game is to set teammates up with scoring opportunities. Every time a point is scored, an assist is credited to the player who created the scoring opportunity. Torr opened the 2016 season ranked sixth alltime in assists with 3,167. She was also voted as the RMAC preseason setter of the year. Coaches around the RMAC conference recognize Torr’s play as elite.

First-year head coach, Jenny Glenn can depend on Torr to set a strong example for the program.

Torr shared her perspective as a senior and a leader.

“You’re never going to get this again, live in the moment and give it everything you have. You don’t know when it’s going to be your last time on the court.”

Glenn has the task of motivating the team with a new protocol. Former MSU Denver head coach Diane Hendricks coached the Roadrunners for 16 seasons. After speaking with Torr, you can detect that Glenn’s message is very clear to her players.

Torr welcomes the change that Glenn brings into the program “She’s really pushing us to grow. That can be difficult as a senior; you can get comfortable.

She makes us uncomfortable. I really appreciate that,” Torr said.

Torr shared what she views as the brightest spot of her MSU Denver experience. “Being a part of a community, having that camaraderie with my teammates.

They always have your back; you always have people to go to.”

Jose Fernandez dies at 24 Miami Marlins ace pitcher died in a tragic boating accident off of Miami Beach on Sept. 25. Police say no alcohol or drugs were involved in the accident. Fernandez had just announced five days earlier that he and his girlfriend, Carla Mendoza, were expecting their first child.
