Auraria AIDS walk team to raise big bucks Tbe Metropolitan
...
September 10, 1999
This year's AIDS walk will include incentives such as cash and movie tickets to persuade people to join the Auraria team. . Last year's team raised U4,000 to help in the outreach, support, prevention, and educational programs for individuals living with HIV/AIDS and their families. The Auraria team has gathered 230 participants for the walk so far this year. The walk will take place at Cheesman Park on Sept. 12. There are a total of 7,800 AIDS-related cases reported in Colorado. In America, one in 250 Americans is infected with AIDS. One in three Americans with HIV does not know it. The moot affected are between the ages 18 and 25 and African-Americans and Latinos are becoming the most affected. All of this information plus much more can be obtained at the Web site of Colorado AIDS Project, the host of the AIDS walk. The AIDS Walk Colorado is the most successful fundraiser for AIDS in the Rocky Mountain region. Walking is very important this year due to a 20 percent dip in funding in the past year.

It's might not like it all the time, but without it, there would be easy to criticize religion and faith, and Cassella has obviously found anarchy.

Have you ever taken the time to talk to someone who is lonely or is different from you? Have you ever helped feed a homeless person, or even talked to him or her for that matter? Has someone ever forgiven you when you expected him or her to be angry with you? These are the kinds of things that Jesus taught, and these are the foundations of true Christian doctrine.

Credit cards can ruin a college student ;~Views 0 NEWS: Credit cards can help or destroy a college student's credit rating. Students aren't financially savvy enough to handle credit cards, and some students drop out of school, or worse, to pay them off. 0 VIEWS Avoid getting credit cards until after graduation - it's
cheaper in the long run. There is no difference between marketing credit cards to college students and hawking cigarettes to minors. Students are acquiring credit cards faster than ever, but few know what the power of plastic can do. Horror stories abound. Last year, two students committed suicide, citing uncontrollable credit card debts as the catalyst. Students drop out of school, declare bankruptcy and generally run into financial trouble with credit cards. Credit cards are given out like monopoly money and students are especially vulnerable to the lure of "free money." In 1997 1.3 million people flied for bankruptcy and 8.7 percent of them were under 25. The percentage of students with more than S3,000 of credit card debt has doubled in the last year. Banks consider credit cards as a low-risk investment. Low income families and students are easy targets. Lower income card holders run up more debt and use cards for day-to-Oay expenses, rather than as a convenience. Lower income card holders rarely pay off their monthly balance and the interest gained on the balance is high. Students with clean credit, or no credit, can get credit cards easier than working adults. Requirements for working adults vary, but most need to make $15,000 to $60,000 to qualify for a card. Students don't need any income to be awarded a card. Seventy percent of undergrads have a credit card with an average debt of $2,000 and 27 percent of students have more than four cards. Graduate students have an average of seven credit cards. A student with $1,000 of credit card debt, making only the minimum payments, could pay the debt off in six years plus pay $560 in interest. A$2,500 debt paid with the minimum payments would take 34 years, resulting in SI0,000 in overall payments. Of course, it depends on the annual percentage rate. Paying off credit cards after graduation sounds good, but most students
aren't prepared for living expenses, debt repayment, and low paying entry level salaries. Only 15 percent of college students with credit cards work full time and go to school. According to the nonprofit student loan group, Nellie Mae, students who have used their credit cards in college need to earn an average of $39,000 a year after they graduate to keep up with payments. When a student graduates, the average earned salary is $24,000. Sometimes in an effon to control credit card debt students will transfer their credit card debt to student loans, which have lower interest rates and a longer grace period for payment. Wealthier families can afford to bail their kids out when the debt gets too steep, but lower income families cannot. Some students end up dropping out of school to work and pay off their credit card debts. Most drop-outs cite poor grades as their reason for leaving college, but it's not known how many drop-outs were getting bad grades because they were working too much to focus on their studies. It's almost impossible to exist without a credit card and if used properly, they can be a benefit for students. Getting a credit card means taking a lot of financial responsibility. TIPS: .- Wait to get a card until your junior or senior year. .- Debt should be no more than 20 percent of net monthly income. .- Beware of teaser rates, a 9 percent annual percentage rate can jump up in a matter of months. Shop around for the best deal. .- Shun cash advances, the rates are higher. Citibank Student Visa charge 19.9 percent for cash advances, but only 17.5 percent for regular charges. .- Get a debit card, not a qedit card. ,.. Keep track of all purchases. .- Set a personal spending limit. ,.. Plan ahead for credit use, figure out expenses and see if your income matches the estimated payments. .- Know your monthly income. Eighty percent of college campuses allow credit card companies to solicit on-campus, Auraria does not.

Wt Last year's workshop participants spend one day rehearsing for the Gospel Festival concert to be held the following afternoon.
Dr. Boyer readies the '98 Gospel Festival choir for their public debut.
tf) r. Horace Boyer is a retired professor of music theory and African-American music, and his mission is to share the incredible gospel tradition with people of all cultures and all faiths. An expert on the history of the African-American vocal tradition, Boyer conducts public workshops at churches and universities around the nation. He brings his knowledge and love of gospel music to Metro on Sept. 18 and 19 for the fifth annual Gospel Festival and workshop. Dr. Larry Worster, associate professor of music at Metro, is the organizer of the Denver Gospel Festival. Worster attended one of Boyer's past workshops, and was so inspired by Boyer's enthusiasm for sharing gospel music _that he decided to bring Boyer and his music to Metro. "Horace can transform an ordinary citizen into a bona-fide gospel singer in a matter of hours," Worster said. The evidence is in the growing number of attendees each year. The first festival attracted 50 singers, and the reaction was so enthusiastic that the number of singers grew steadily in the following years. Last year's workshop boasted 120 singers eager to take part in the gospel tradition. "It's a great experience for anybody," Worster said.

Culture Vultures are made not born. I am a Culture Vulture; like the vampires of darkness we come out at night wearing something fashionable and black. Lots of cappuccino, lots of smoke. Ever since I discovered the serene ambience and peace found in art galleries and museums, I have been hooked. Living in New York City only escalated my hunger for the
appetizers of the feast of the eyes: visual arts. I remember attending Cindy Sherman's erotic photo exhibit, seeing the photos that shocked with graphic and candid imagery depicting self love. Red Groom's exhibit about New York City was the first onet I attended that you could touch and even walk on. At the Guggenheim, I saw Rothko's simplistic yet enveloping bombardment. I discovered gallery openings! Alphabet City, the area in the lower east side of New York, so named because of the street names (Avenue A, Avenue B), was becoming hip. The Life

Remember? Karen was one of the artists whose work offended the National Endowment For The Arts. One of my favorite artists is Kurt Schwitters; his dada work completely engulfed me and I could stare for hours at his assemblages. His poem Anna Bloom shocked me with its simplicity. Diane Arbus plucked at me with her esoteric photographs. Dali's glass aquarium depicting oral sex next to a boat, Matisse and Degas; I swallowed them all.

I stared at Frida Kahlo and read the life of Diego Rivera. Slowly, art invaded my world. Art was involved in everything whether I realized it or not. I gathered info slowly, Miro, Yoko Ono, installations, Sunday in the Park with George, Fellinni, Bertollucci, the imagery of Une Chien Andalu, the colors in Woody Allen's Interiors. I wanted to understand, to experience, to feel. Photographs, collage, acrylic, sculpture, projections, everything was exciting, even things that made no sense. I would spend hours walking through the Museum of Modern Art, galleries in LoDo, even the expensive designer galleries on 57th Street. I wanted to experience it all.

Danielle Fotopoulos, U.S. national soccer team member, shares her greatest experiences in soccer and advice to participants in a clinic Sept. S. The Metro women's soccer team hosted the free clinic on the Auraria F"Htlds as part of the Reebok Best Western Soccer Challenge.

Duncan and many of the other girls who attended the clinic started playing soccer even earlier than Fotopoulo.5. Duncan started when she was just 3years old and so did 9-year-0kl Lauren Bell, who also participated in the clinic. Both have continued to play because of the friendships they devdoped through the game, they said. Camaraderie helped Fotopoulos choose to play soccer when she grew up playing many different sports. "I just grew to love it," Fotopoulo.5 said. 'The team, just having girls around me and not having to do the individual sport. You have people around to support you."

World Cup brings new attention to women in sports
Spike it
(U-WIRE) GAINESVIllE, Fla. -- It took a matter of seconds, but it has been a long time coming. It was a left-footed thwack and a moment of jubilation. Amoment that saw Brandi Chastain tear off her No. 6 USA jersey and reveal her black Nike Inner Actives sports bra. But while she was unveiling, Chastain also was revealing a new excitement for women's athletics. It was a moment then-head coach Tony DiCicco described as a "storybook ending." But it was not an end... In fact, it was a new beginning. From globally to locally, the ripple effect of the U.S. World Cup win has traveled from the Rose Bowl bleachers in Pasadena, Ca., to the young athletes in Gainesville who are vying to be like Chastain. "!think that the World Cup will give younger athletes a lot more enthusiasm about (soccer) now," said UF defender Heather Mitts, who was in the stands in Pasadena as part of the under-21 national team. "! think they will want to play soccer and want to get better. And I think that in the future there will be more soccer players carrying on the tradition." HERE TO STAY?

cer program." Combine the U.S. win with the 1998 national champion Gators, and what is left is an increased vigor for women's athletics. In addition, former Gator Danielle Fotopoulos finished her career last season as the NCAA Division I all-time leader, male or female, in goals with 118 and points with
September 3 Colorado Premier Tournament Minnesota-Duluth @ Metro Final: 15-10 15-2 12-15 15-10 L
284. Fotopoulos passed the previous record of 103 held by Mia Hamm, who played at North Carolina and Tiffeny Milbrett from Portland. Fotopoulos then joined the two on the U.S. National Team during the summer, giving the Gators more national recognition. But as quickly as the hysteria began, it could just as easily come to an end. To prevent that from happening at UF, the University Athletic Association is continuing its community outreach programs. Programs such as "Kids Club" and "Meet the Players" bring fans from off the sidelines, into the stands and closer to UF's athletes. Thus, evoking continued public response and enthusiasm. "If the size of our crowds have anything to do with some of the publicity and coverage from the World Cup I think that is great and I hope it continues," said Associate Athletic Director Ann Marie Rogers, who is in charge of women's sports at UF. "We have poster signings for all of our sports trying to get young girls in the community involved with their families and our programs. ''We have the 'Kids Club' where we invite children to our games. So we do a lot in trying to keep the community involved. The 'Kids Club' has grown to over 600 members, so it is a great time in women's athletics. And I think the World Cup can only help."

The media magnified the World Cup. And the media will have an impact on the aftermath and longevity of that event. "Certainly media coverage will have a positive impact on Gator soccer," said Michael Hill, director of marketing and commercials for UF. "Our thinking here is that there will be further growth in the interest of women's soccer. I think because the World Cup had such tremendous initial support and the fact that the nation was galvanized behind the women's cup effort this summer that the sport will have a long lasting effect. Gator fans who have never attended soccer matches before, but who watched the World Cup match on television and found totally wrapped up in the thrilling championship final, will have mare chances to view Gator excitement. The Sunshine Network will air four soccer matches during the 1999-2000 season, including the Nov. 7 Southeastern Conference Championship match. Putting faces to the names of athletes is always a key in the development of any sport. For the verve of women's athletics to have an enduring effect, the media will be key just as it was in the World Cup. All tolled, the television audience watching the World Cup was the highest for a women's-only sport in history. 'The Gator connection to championship success, with the national title a year ago and the fact that Danielle Fotopoulos was on the World Cup team is very pertinent to this maiXet," Hill said. "So the national byproduct is going to be at the local level for a lot of schools. There will definitely be a lot more people interested in the sport that otherwise might not have been."

It was a mere moment on the time scale. But Chastain's heroics will be remembered as a small rock pushed down a large snow covered mountain. Whether that rock will become a powerful force will depend on continued excitement, community involvement and the media.
