RTD's Eco pass for Auraria faculty and staff "'

•

By Tamra Monahan The Metropolitan

Auraria faculty and staff could soon have an alternative to the headache of parking on campus if the Regional Transportation District Eco Pass is put into effect. RTD's Eco Pass is designed to help employees of Denver businesses use mass transit instead of fighting traffic during their commute to work everyday. John Pung, manager of research and .sales for RTD, said the program is very popular with companies, especially in downtown Denver. Although the program has been around since 1991, the Auraria Higher Education Center has not participated in it. According to Mark Gallagher, AHEC's director of parking and tnmsportation services, AHEC has been interested in the Eco Pass for a few years and had talked to RTD many times about starting the program at Auraria. However, Gallagher said the cost to each employee was always too high. He said AHEC took another look at the Eco Pass as a way to relieve the on-going parking dilemma at Auraria. Gallagher said

when the campus lost Lot G, and could lose two more to the Light them up, Berry said AHEC put together two open houses, sent all Rail extension, his office decided to try again for employees an informational e-mail about the the pass. program, and distributed many flyers "We're _always looking for outlining the benefits of the Eco Pass. alternatives, so that people have As ofTuesday, Berry said AHEC had choices, and this would be a very o 300 signatures have been 300 employees signed up for the Eco affordable choice if we could get it collected to enact the RTD ECO Pass program.

·Police to abide by the dismount law OQ campus By lrnthiaz Hopkins The Metropolitan

Dr. Horace Boyer, a retired professor of music theory and African-American music, directs a choir of Metro students and singers from the Denver community. Boyer conducted a public gospel festival and workshop at St. Cajetan's Center.

Auraria police will start to abide by campus policies and dismount their bikes in dismount zones. "We have gotten a few complaints about officers riding through the dismount zone," said Officer Leonard Peete of the Auraria P.olice. "We are now going to try and abide by the rules." Peete gave an example of how police being dismounted might hinder their performance on the job. "There were two bikers speeding through campus and I was not able to get to them in time because I was dismounted," he said. Some students are concerned about the response time of Auraria bike police if they are dismounted. Previously, Auraria police had not yielded the signs posted on campus stating that you must dismount from your bike for the safety of other students. "They are authorities abusing their privileges," University of Colorado at Denver student ~erance Freeman said. "They are able to ride bikes everywhere but no one else can." Peete said that if the change starts to negatively affect their job, then they will go back to riding in dismounted zones. Misgana Tesfaye, a CU-Denver student, said police riding their bikes through campus in the dismount zones is the equivalent to police putting on their lights · to.run through red lights. "They are being hypocritical," Freeman said.

Love Your Body Day stresses high seH-esteem in women r

By Teriqua Pope TbeMetropol1tan

'The body is the vehicle of the spirit," said Deb Witzel, coordinator of the Celebrate Your Body movement workshop held in the Tivoli Sept. 22. To the music of artists like Soul II Soul and Alanis Morissette, Witzel encouraged the all-female cast of participants to move freely about the room to "connect with their inner selves." 'This isn't adrenaline here," she said. "This is energy." The workshop was just one of the many activities at Aui:tria commemorating the second annual Love Your Body Day, a National Organization of Women (NOW) campaign to promote self-acceptance in women. "We wanted to take one day and be positive since we are constantly bombarded with negative images," said Melanie Stalford, state coordinator of Colorado NOW. "The problem in this country is that advertising tells us we have to look a certain way. We are targeting harmful advertising and trying to tell women to love their bodies instead." The event, sponsored by Colorado NOW, Metro's Institute for Women's Studies and Services, and Colorado Woman News, was also attended by representatives of WomenOfColorado.com, an on-line magazine aimed at women ages 18 to 55. 'This [magazine] is not just about putting on lipstick,"said Honi Alexander, regional manager for the e-zine. Their mission is to inform and support women with editorial content that enhances the quality of their personal and professional lives. Organizers at the resource information tables offered raffle ticket to passers-by for a chance to win T-shirts, books and professional massages. They also told of ways that students ac Auraria can be more involved in combating che negative attitudes some young women have toward their bodies. Sign-up sheets were available at every table for students who wanted additional literature sent to cheir homes. "It's hard to get people involved at a commuter campus like Auraria," said Tara Tull, associate director at the Institute for Sean Weaverflbe Metropolitan Women Studies and Services. "One year we have a really active and involved student organization, then the next year Emily Wilson practices body movement Sept. 22 in the momentum slows when the senior Tivoli room 640.

Bike riders confused about dismount rules ..

Our\iewsi 0 NEWS: Two students have written letters to The Metropolitan asking why campus police can ride their bikes in the dismount zone.

0 VIEWS: Campus cops ride bikes in the dismount zone to catch absconding scofRaws, not because they're jackbooted fascists. Dismount zones are areas on campus where bike riders, skateboarders and others must get off their vehicles and walk. Similar to the Sixteenth Street Mall, dismount zones are in areas with lots of pedestrian traffic, so there are no wheels are allowed, except for emergency vehicles. Auraria Campus Police may ride their bikes all over campus

and do not need to dismount. Traffic codes allow emergency vehicles, including bicycles, to do things regular vehides can't. Police cars can run red lights, speed and drive on the sidewalk, normal drivers can't. The law gives emergency vehicles special privileges to make law enforcement easier. The two bike riders who wrote letters to The Metropolitan, said the police were breaking the rules by not dismounting. Both Steve Jacobs, a Metro photojournalism student, and Steve Pardon, a Metro alumni, wrote that the police are enforcing the law while breaking it. This just isn't so. Police officers who ride bicycles are operating emergency vehicles. They need to be able to respond quickly to emergency situations, just like patrol cars. Campus Police and Security Director, Joe Ortiz, said when police ride bikes in the dismount zone, other bike riders are more likely to see them coming and dismount. Ortiz said if the officers

were walking with their bikes, riders wouldn't see the officers and wouldn't dismount. "When a bike rider sees a cop coming, they get off their bikes quick," Ortiz said. Also, if police had to walk their bikes they wouldn't be able to respond as quickly and give tickets to riders in the dismount zones. Ortiz also said Auraria is a crossroads and a lot of bicycle couriers ride across campus, disregarding the dismount zones. "These people (the couriers) aren't part of the campus community, and often don't pay attention to the rules," Ortiz said. People who disregard the dismount rule are a hazard. Campus police are simply trying to make the campus safer. Ortiz did say the department is considering amending the dismount zone signs to include a clause that states, all riders muse dismount, except authorized vehicles. That was Jacobs' idea.

Violent toys reach a new level Brown Daily Herald Brown University (U-WIRE) PROVIDENCE, R.I. - Move over 'Tickle Me Elmo" and fluffy "Furby," 'The Villain'" has hit the shelves. This new doll - which is recommended for children ages five and up - touts a ski m:isk, a black trench coat, and a shotgun. Not surprisingly, Scars stopped selling the toy with only 15 dolls sold, following an outcry from concerned parents whq felt that the doll bore too close a resemblance to the gunmen at Columbine High School. Good for them. Regardless of whether the doll actually looks like Eric Harris or Dylan Klebold, any parent's desire to place a trench-coat killer under this year's Christmas tree is cause for concern. \X~1ile to\"s of

soldiers, policemen, criminals, and villains have been around for generations, this brings the concept of vio1ent toys to a whole new level. With killers opening fire in churches, pedophiles seeking out victims on the Internet, and the other horror stories that permeate daily life, it is a shame that Sears would eren consider including this toy in its holiday catalog. Indeed, it may be hypocritical to condemn 路The Villain" while not also going after toy soldiers, violent movies, and computer games such as .. Doom." But when a company produces a trench-coat killer so that kids can have a good time, we should definitely b~gin to question the ralues imbedded in modern forms of entertainment.

. Metro's Center For 1he V.sua( Ar~ +he diverse 1>eo1>(e of

By Robert Morabito the Metropotita11 The Metropolitan State College of Denver Center for the Visual Arts moved to a new LoDo location this year, but its mission is still the same: using ~rt to reach out to Denver's diverse community. Metro created the center's gallery in 1990 to serve the college, the community, and the Rocky Mountain region. The center's new location, 1734 Wazee St., has 10,000 square feet of exhibits, storage, workshop and classroom space. More than 25,000 people visit the center each year to view exhibits and participate in its programs, includiqg: lectures, workshops, films and tours for children and adults. "We have an urban mission similar to Metro, to provide 路 programs that address urban issues," Sally Perisho said. Perisho has directed the center since it began in 1990. "I seek a standard of excellence," she said. She uses her 20 years of experience in the business to attract world-class, multi-cultural exhibits. A testimony to the strength of the center is chat it remains the only nonprofit art gallery in Denver, receiving its funding through Metro, corporate and private donations and state and federal grants and revenues. About 60 percent of the funding comes from outside sources while Metro's Student Affairs Board covers the other 40 percent. In 1994 the center received a two-year $24,000 General Operating Support Grant from the Institute of Museum Services, the most prestigious of all federal grants for museums. The center has received Best of Westward awards every year since its opening, and Perisho received an award for best art center director from Wes/word in 1994. The Visual Arts Center was the first recipient of the Mayor's Awards for Excellence in the Arts. "Our goal is to bring art education to the community, showcasing diverse artists and art forms," Education Program Director Amy Banker said. Because the center is committed to Denver's minority population. particular emphasis is given to multi-cultural exhibits and multi-disciplinary programs. Workshops and activities for children and the disadvantaged are also part of the Center's public art programs. One of the outreach programs is Art That Builds Communities. The program is a collaborative project with the Denver Housing Authority, designed to facilitate and support artistic programs for inner-city youth. "We have been reaching out to the community since we opened," Perisho said.

Gen X'ers turning into walking billboards for big businesses By Jason Subik U-Wire

lTiiACA, N.Y. - It seems to me that Ted Knight of the Nike Corp. owes me some money. I have been tirelessly hawking his sneakers for the last 15 years and I still haven't seen a dime. I've worn his cross trainers, his track flats and his basketball sneaks all over for free. In fact, I paid him outrageous sums of money for the right to be a walking billboard for hi.5 company.

Sean W--!lbe Metropolitan

I By Sean Weaver the Metroj}Olitan ,-

Eric Bateman's life is simple. His artwork is not. Bateman, who works out of his virtually empty Capitol Hill apartment, creates detailed artwork, often painting 6-foot tall canvases with pencil-sizedÂˇ brushes and building sculptural elements into his work. With a recent painting, Bateman ftlled 200 syringes with primary color paints and attached them to a panel on the right side of the painting. In some paintings, the sculptural elements are obvious, such as large metal plates, while in others it is subtle, with one plastic green army figure in the center of a green painting. "Detail intrigues me," he said. While his work is primarily geometrical, he incorporates symbols, such as spirals and han ls, which cross cultural lines, suggesting a blend of pop and prirr itive art. "My interest is line, balance anc form," Bateman said. 'Tm not big on the philosophical aspects of painting. That doesn't interest me. "I start with one form and seeâ&#x20AC;˘ ;here it takes me," he said. "It's an evolutionary process." The 42-year-0ld artist had r ~ver received any formal art training before enrolling at Metro I1St year to learn sculpture.

"I always believed I had a creative ability, but it was raw and "With all my paintings, not only did I stretch the canvas, but unfocused," he said.

Roadrunners rule the rivalry with Regis By Jeliiiifer Youngman Tbe Metropolitan

·-

A win is a win, unless it's over a rival. Then it comes with bragging rights. Both the Metro men's and women's soccer teams earned those rights this week in games against cross-town rival Regis. The men's soccer team beat the Rangers 2-1 Sept. 17 and the women's team won 4-2 Sept'. 22. A game against Regis is more than just a game. They are usually more competitive than other games that the Roadrunners play. ' "Both teams come out really strong; they know it doesn't matter if one team is No. 1 in the conference and one is in last place; records are out the window and it's a battle," said women's soccer coach Ed Montojo. Players on the Metro men's team agree that the Regis games are fierce contests. "When we came here everybody was like, 'This is Regis, this is war,' " said Metro men's forward Jared Zanon. The importance of the Metro-Regis game is instilled into the players early. It takes only one game against the Rangers to know how significant winning is. "Once they've been here one time, l don't think it takes a TnolhJ lWVlbe Metropolitan whole lot to figure out what it's going to take and what kind of battle it's going to be," said men's soccer coach Brian Crook.ham. Roadrunner forward/midfielder Chris Daniels mixes it up with Regis defenders Sept. 1 7 on the Aawaria Fields. Metro won the first of two regular season games between the teams, 2-1. Sophomore defender/midfielder Jennifer Kitano already knew about the importance of the game and anticipated a fierce game against the Rangers because of junior midfielder Janice and a tradition began. "There is a tradition to the Metro-Regis game," said men's Armstrong transferring from Regis to Metro this year. "l think they're going to be gunning for us this year," Kitano soccer coach Brian Crookham. "Ten or 15 years ago it was always the game." said. "We took one of their best players." Crookham said when he first started Armstrong has scored four goals, coaching the men's team in 1995, the second on the team this season for the "When we came Roadrunners, including one goal in the Roadrunners didn't give Regis much here everybody was competition. However, Metro has won the Metro victory over Regis. However, the rivalry between the like, 'This is Regis, last few games against Regis bringing them Roadrunners and the Rangers started long closer in the all-time record of 19-21-3. this is war.' " The Roadrunners are winning more, but before Armstrong transferred schools.

Hey Oude: I just read that my favorite author, Dr. Seuss, has a book on the banned list. What gives? Sam I Am

Oear Sam: Dr. Seuss, Tony Morrison, Pat Conroy, Shel Silverstein, John Grisham - these are just a few of the many authors whose books have been banned or challenged in communities thro4ghout the nation.

·The Lorax, by Dr. Seuss, was challenged in the Laytonville, California Unified School District because the book "criminalizes the foresting industry." A light in the Attic. by Shel Silverstein, was challenged at the Cunningham Elementary School in Beloit, Wisconsin because. among other offenses, the book "encourages children to break dishes so they won't have to dry them." These and hundreds of other books were challenged or banned with the intention of protecting someone-frequently childrenfrom pornography, smut, racism, and controversial ideologies. While this a noble cause. the resulting censorship makes those books unavailable for those who would like to read them . Banned Books Week, September 26-0ctober 2 , reinforces the importance of ensuring the availability of the unorthodox or unpopular viewpoints. Stop by the Book Center and pick up information on the books that were challenged or banned throughout history. Celebrate the freedom to read!
