Student government elections are coming, and candidates want Metro students to know the goals they have for the college. Two groups of candidates, named Student Empowerment and Student Advocates, are running for the Student Government Assembly for the 20002001 term. There are also two students running independently for the vice president of academic affairs and attorney general positions. Candidates said they will work at getting involved with Metro students and getting more students involved with the college. "I would like to see student government working more cohesively for the one goal of representing students, all students," said Student Advocates presidential candidate Matthew Roberts. "What I want, and what everyone on our ticket. wants, is to get out of the student government office and participate side by side with the students and their organizations."
Student Advocates vice president candidate for academic affairs candidate Ronald Luton said one of his goals is to strengthen the ties between the students and the assembly. "For the most part, I don't think that Matthew Roberts students are even aware that there's a student government. And when they do find out about it, they don't know much about it," Stefanie Vassilaros Luton said. Student Advocates candidates said they want to set up an e-mail address so that anyone on campus can contact them with problems or questions. They

Retirmetit not impossible for Gen Xers By Lisa Opsahl
•
7be Metropolitan
More students believe Elvis is still alive than believe they'll receive Social Security benefits when
;
they retire. Not so, said the Deputy C.Ommissioner of the Social Security Administration, William Halter. Halter saKl students can be confident in receiving their retirement benefits. Halter spoke at the Golda Meir Center on March 15 about the goals of the Social Security Admini&raOOn. 'This program is so vital and so impcxtant, to all American.5 that we will fu.shion the necessary and appropriate reforms to insure its continuation," Halter said. Halter said in the year 2034 the nmey in the
Social Security trust fund will run out if nothing is done to add more money to it. The administration has plans to keep the fund alive until 2054. More work will be done to continue the fund after that. Part one of the exten.5ion propa;al is to use surplu.s money in Social Security, "and there are Jai&e surpluses," Halter said, and use it to pay offor reduce the national debt. The interest saved on lowering the debt would be credited to Social Security. Using the credits extends the program to the year 2050, he explained. The second part of the prop<l5al uses a small portion of the money in the Social Security trust fund to invest in stocb. ''Because the return on stock investments on average is higher than bonds then that would extend the fund the 2054," Halter sarl The in"'5tment of money into stocb requires legisbtioo, whkh ~ not been introduced yet,
on what kind of lifestyle the student wants. The more elaborate the lifestyle, the more money a student needs to save. Halter also said the Social Security Administration mails 500,000 letters a day to people over 25. The letters have the amount of money the person can expect from Social Security when they retire. Halter said the letters are mailed three months before the person's birthday. The mailing; began in October. One disadvantage to the mailings, especially for people aged 24-34, is the estimated payments are !med on current income, so the payment estimates will be too low. Twenty years from now the income levels for people who were 24-34 will increase, so the amount of estimated payments won't reflect increases in w.iges that occur through the years.
Halter said. Having the government invest money into the stock market isn't that scary, he said. "A very small portion of the fund would be used, and brood categories of stock would be purchased," Halter said. By limiting the amount of money to be invested and investing in a large amount of varied stocb reduces the risk for la;s, he said. A disadvantage with stock investment propa;al is that if the stock market takes a huge dive, millions of people will be affected. Fluctuations in the market, whether good oc bad, will affect retiree, according Mortimer B. Zuckerman ·with the magazine U.S. News and World Report. Whatever reforms come about in the next few years, Halter said students should begin planning for their retirement now. The first step fi to decide
Social Security might benefit the young when they're old What Social Security does • Social Security provides 24 million retiree and their spouses or surviving spouses with an average monthly benefit of $750. For most aged beneficiaries, Social Security provides 43 percent of their average income. • Somewhere around 2014, the system is expected to be paying out more in benefits than it collects in taxes.
Why the money is being depleted • More workers are going to retire and get their Social Security money within the next few years. • People collecting Social Security are
living longer. • People aren't having as many children, . reducing the number of future workers. Because of these three elements, the ratio of workers to Social Security beneficiaries is expected to decline from 3:1 today to 2:1 by 2010. Even after most baby boomers exit the program, the worker-tobeneficiary ratio is expected to continue at just under 2:1. Social Security is a pay-as-you-go system; meaning payroll taxes from today's workers are immediately spent on checks for today's beneficiaries. If fewer workers are paying, then workers have to contribute more.
deceased workers, including their children. Social Security provides disability and survivors protection to young workers and their families. For today's 20 year olds: • 28 percent can expect to become disabled before they reach age 67 • 17 percent can expect to die before they reach age 67 • About one in six Americans receives a Social Security benefit today 96 percent of alf American workers and their families are covered by Social Security Other programs . •Almost one in three Social Security Social Security provides benefits to workers and families if they become disabled, beneficiaries are not retirees - Social Security Administration and it provides benefits to the survivors of
From 2013 to 2032, Social Security will receive additional money from its trust fund reserves, which have been accumulating since 1983. While Social Security has remained a pay-as-you-go system since 1983, a small percentage of the payroll tax has been deposited into the trust fund reserves. If no changes are made to the program Social Security will be able to pay about three quarters of benefits after 2032. ,

Student Advocates candidates said they would also address the issue of making Metro more technology efficient for people with disabilities. They want the computer xlabs to have more equipment that will help anyone with disabilities. Tracy Rlllnes Both parties agree it is important that students get more involved in voting in the upcoming SGA dections. In the past elections the student turnout has been very low with less than 10 percent of the Metro population voting on the candidates and ballot initiatives. "When students realize that they have the power to get things Cllld Dleltdnc accomplished, then we can rise to make . things work at this school," Rhines said. Students can vote online for the candidates they want to represent them starting at 8 a.m. on April 3, until noon, April 7. "I think it's wonderful that the vote is now online," said Roberts. "It makes it easily accessible and allows students who come (to campus) only at night or weekends, to voice their opinion." "We want to make this more of a community where there is more unity," Rhines said "Where there is unity, there is progress."

Strippers deserve our respect, too "But you don't have any tits," is the first thing that telegraphs across people's faces after I tell them I used to strip. (If they leer, I tell them I used to dance bald just to mess with 'em.) That's right, I used to be an exotic dancer. In fact, dancing put me through my first year Simone Charles and a half at Metro. I'm not the only one, The Nappiest either. According to an unofficial survey by my Edge girlfriend Kerry (all names have been changed to protect the not-so-innocent), there are approximately 1,500 exotic-dancers in the J7 clubs in metro Denver, and more than 30 percent of them go to college. "Of course, that translates to a lot of them coming to Metro," said Kerry as we chit-chatted over Chai on a Sunday afternoon. We were catching up on old times, comparing stripper to student gripes, and the struggle of reconciling our so-called checkered past with our hopefully bright future. l told her about the International Sex Workers talk put on by the anthropology graduate program at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Kamala Kempadoo, author of Sun, Sex and Gold: Tourism and Sex Work in the Caribbean and Global Sex Worker: Rights, Resistance and Redefinition, looks like a grown-up Caribbean Catholic schoolgirl. One wonders why such a prim looking woman
would study sex work. "When I was a student living over in Amsterdam, I would study until 3 or 4 in the morning, and when I looked out the window, I would see these women working, and I was struck by the slim difference between them and I," Kempadoo said. Kempadoo is an assistant professor of women's studies at cu. Boulder. Her goal is to redefine and expand the meaning of sex work and get sex work defined as labor.
I will always remember the rebuffs by women who blamed me for their husbands going into strip bars. Sex work can be anything from the most popular of sex workers, prostitutes, strippers and lap dancers, but also inclu~es wet nurses, surrogate mothers (women who bear other women's children for money), and people who provide erotic massages. She also talked about the trends in sex work. Most women in the business are relatively young, ranging from pre-pubescent to 25. They worry about health issues such as
catching a cold, the flu, HN or a beating from their partner. Because sex work is illegal in most countries, violence can run rampant, so if a client rapes a sex worker, she has no legal recourse. People have the mind set that the so-called Happy Hooker deserves her fate. Good girls would never sell their bodies for money, even if their children are starving, and if you do something like that, you deserve whatever happens to you. Sex work is the last bastion of control. It's run by men, it's a service for men and it's the women who pay the price. Women get a stigma with no benefits. But I will never be ashamed of being a stripper. I will always remember what it was like to have my sexuality based on how much I got tipped. I will always remember working nine hours a night, seven days a week and carrying a 12-hour course load. I will always remember the rebuffs by women who blamed me for their husbands going into strip bars. I can not forget the strength of the women who worked with me, putting up with insults, grabbing and public censure. Every one of you knows someone who is involved with sexwork, either as a worker or a participant. I challenge you to look at these women as more than sexual objects worthy of you derision. Being sexy is hard work and being a student is even harder. This is Kizzy Glorified dancing on the nappiest edge.

f ~udent government needsnre~~~~~~ n~~~t~t~re~!,~ ra~~~~~~Recently, the Metro Student Government Assembly had a student vote about increasing the Information Techn'ology Fee. I was unaware of date and time of the vote, and I am on this campus Monday through Friday. I feel that this particular vote did not accurately represent the entire Metro student body, since other students I have spoken with also did not hear about this vote. I do suggest that in the future the student government find better, and more, ways to inform students about votes. Perhaps it can e-mail students. This Information Technology Fee will benefit Metro. The enrollment of the Computer Information Systems classes is the highest of any other school at Metro. Increasing enrollment in CMS classes results in more students using the computer labs during their free time, as well as in class time, since there are more and more professors reserving computer labs. There are also many other departments that use the labs.
increase will also help create new labs, which will help relieve the jam-packed labs we have now. There-will be a new lab in the new Academic and Performing Arts Center and the increase will be used to purchase all the computer hardware and software for that new lab. I feel that this issue is very important and all Metro students should have been informed of this vote so that the actual voice of th~ students would have been expressed.

F.ditors note: The SGA held a public forum about the Jnfonnation Technology fee. It was a discussion meeting, not a decision meeting. 1be fee will go to a student vote in April along with
several others.

Drink beer not milk. That's what People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has been heralding at campuses across the nation this week. Lisa Opsahl Mothers Against Drunk Driving and several law enforcement agencies are incensed about PETA's new campaign, Milk Sucks. They have good reason to be. Condoning underage drinking and using junk science to create the illusion that beer is better than milk, PETA created an incredibly irresponsible and unprofessional advertising campaign. The campaign gives students a brown bottle opener shaped like a beer bottle that says, "Drinking Responsibly Means Not Drinking Milk - Save a Cow's Llfe." The campaign targets college students at time when Spring Break, St. Patrick's Day and, ironically, National Drinking Awareness Week converge. Several campuses, including the University of Colorad<' at Boulder, have released statistics that more than 50 percent of students are binge drinkers. No, students aren't going to crack open their beers and salute the barley gods with cries of, "Dude, it's better than milk," but thousands of students already drink too much. PETA doesn't need to give them yet another reason to ignore the risks of binge drinking. PETA claims beer is healthier than milk, but distorts the facts. PETA states:
• Beer has zero fat; milk is loaded with fat.
No it isn't. Whole milk contains fat, but skim milk bas none. Not to mention a cup of skim milk bas 70 calories. A seroing of beer bas twice that. • Beer has zero cholesterol; milk contains 20 mg of cholesterol in every 8-0z. serving.
Again, not trne for all milk. • Beer has half a gram of fiber in every cup; milk has no fiber whatsoever.
True, but half a gram of fiber is a significantly tiny amount of what a person needs. Most nutritionists recommend a person eat 20 to 35 grams of fiber a day. There is nofiber in milk, buJ it would take 40 beers to get the daily allowance offiber. • Beer has 12 mg of Sodium per 122 mg. Milk is sky-high in the stuff.
OK, trne, but define sky-high. • Beer has three grams of complex carbohydrates in a 12-oz. glass; milk has no complex carbohydrates.
That's fine, but most foods don't contain complex carbohydrates. Sources of complex carbohydrates are starches and fibers, meaning.fruit, vegetables and some grains. So, trumping up the case against milk, PETA has distorted the facts. And while it's true that humans don't need cows milk, comparing beer to milk is an unethical parallel. PETA also uses scare tactics to make its case. PETA states that milk leeches calcium from bones. PETA's proof, women in Scandinavian countries have higher
occurrences of osteoporosis than women in the Pacific Rim. The difference is Scandinavian women eat more dairy products. Well, that's not a fair correlation either. Women in Norway and Sweden use more oral contraceptives than WOI}'len in the Pacific Rim. Oral contraceptives are associated with osteoporosis. That's not an accurate correlation either, but it certainly shows that it could be any number of factors contributing to bone loss in women, not just milk. Another correlation PETA makes, milk is full of hormones and pesticides that are harmful to humans. This has not been proven. It's probably true, but organic milk is available without hormones or pesticides. Most corporate grocery stores carry organic milk. There's even a brand of generic organic milk. PETA's case against milk is weak. It's not bad having PETA counter the dairy council's campaign that milk is some kind of super food, but the methods PETA used to support its cause are juvenile and insulting. PETA has some excellent points about milk and its consumption, but they're buried under the initial guise of condoning alcoholism. That's not what advertising is supposed to do. Ads need to get the product message to the consumer fast, almost instantly. People aren't supposed to spend time researching it. They're supposed to get it when they see it. This campaign says, drink beer, it's OK. Saving • a cow from a life of drudgery or improving college students' health never make it into the consumer's mind.

Is there life after Auraria? The current exhibition at the Emmanuel Gallery on campus answers the question emphatically: Yes. The exhibition, Life After Auraria surveys work of 20 artists who work with ceramics. The show is a visual plateful of form, texture and color, representing a survey of artists who have graduated from Auraria schools. "I wanted to represent mostly sculptural works," said Ken Peterson, interim director for Emmanuel Gallery. "But there are some functional pieces included as well." Life, which will be displayed until April 7, is the first exhibition Peterson curated for the Emmanuel Gallery. One of the most striking works in the show is Jenifer Erickson's Ecce Homo. The sculpture depicts a infant on a weatherbeaten board holding a crown of thorns. 'Tm not one who goes for vague spirituality," Erickson said. "I've been an agnostic for most of my life. This piece represents an epiphany I had spiritually. It's not an easy thing to explain in words. It was an image of something innocent looking forward to a life of pain. It's sort of all of our destiny." The 38-year-0ld artist graduated from Metro in 1990. "I've been working with clay literally since I was 3," she said. "To me ceramics is like breathing. I don't know why I do it." Hyun Chong Kim combines forms inspired from her native Korea with western-style technique with her piece Drop ofRed. "I use very bright Oriental color," she said. "When I was growing up in Korea, we lived near the ocean. I would go down and look at the rocks when my dad was catching fish. Inside the ocean, 路you can see very beautiful colors. You can see those colors in my artwork."
Drop of Red blurs the line between functional and decorative ceramics. Hyun said the base of the 45-inch tall vase represents the ocean and the top represents land. "It's all about nature," she said. Hyun, who graduated from Metro in 1992, said she flirted with ceramics throughout school, but was drawn to the medium when she returned to Korea and saw ceramic works by local artists. "I want to introduce Oriental ceramics here," she said. Cristine Boyd's Snake Table stands out as one of the more functional works in the gallery. The ceramic and metal coffee table is made of a mosaic of ceramic tiles forming snakes representative of folk art. "I've always been fascinated with snakes, and started using them about five years ago," she said. "They're remarkable creatures with interesting forms." Boyd, who graduated from Metro in 1993, said several influences inspire her work. "Everything I see, read or hear goes into my head, and comes out in my work," she said. For Boyd, art started as a spur-0f-the-moment decision. "I just decided one day I was going to go back to school and study ceramics," she said. "I've been doing it every since." .The gallery will have an opening reception for the artists March 24 from 5-8 p.m. The Emmanuel Gallery scheduled Life to coincide with the National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts convention, which will be held in Denver this month. Metro ceramics professor Rodger Lang is the on-site coordinator for this year's conference. "This is the first year the conference will be held in Denver," he said. The conference, now in its 34th year, will include panel discussions and workshops for ceramic artists and teachers. The conference will start March 27, and is open to the public. People who wish to attend the conference may call Lang at (303) 556-5615 for schedule and fee information.

Sexy Jennifer Lopez has nothing on Nancy Reagan Everyone, including me, is tired of has to date Puffy Combs. He has millions of dollars and is a hearing about Jennifer Lopez and the successful producer, but yet he continues to be a thug.

Why would Lopez want to stay with someone wearer. I think the dress served its that dumb in the first place, and what kind of example is she purpose as best it could, and now setting? Stand by your man is great and all that until it starts to everyone has seen what Puff Daddy gets make you look like the stupid one. And until it starts to send a Amber Johnson to see when they're alone.

On the one hand, it's great to see Reagan live quietly on their ranch. But Lopez stick by him. She has a lot to lose by Reagan has Alzheimer's now. Did Nancy doing that - the (05.5 of endorsement dump Ronald into an expensive home contracts with companies who are reluctant to be as.sociated with where she could visit him between luncheons and shopping trips?

As it was, she got blasted for keeping company with progres.ses, the difficulty in caring for that patient increases by a thug. Which is where my issue with that situation comes in. leaps and boundS. But Nancy Reagan stands by the man that she When people become stars, things happen automatically, loves, even though he doesn't know who she is most of the time, whether they want them to or not. Privacy becomes a thing of the standing by the vow "'til death do us part." That may sound cheesy past, and the way celebrities live their lives is public knowledge.

example of standing by your man that girls should be following. Women have contributed to science and health care and research and literature and hundreds of other areas in great ways. Women's History Month celebrates these contributions and serves as a reminder to women of what we have gone through to _get where we are today. But women's history doesn't only mean the women who are well-known for their accomplishments to further society.What about the women who furthered society by raising quality people with quality morals? Feminists look down on women who choose to stay at home and raise their children, because somehow, that's not furthering the cause for women. Not true. Stay-at-home moms are just as valuable and make just as much of a contribution to society as the women in the workplace. My mom chose to stay home with my brother and I, not because she didn't have the skills to work outside the home, but because she wanted to be home when we were and take an active part in shaping us as people every day. I realize .that some women don't have that option, and I also realize that all children of stay-at-home moms aren't neces.sarily better in any way than kids who grow up in day care. The point is that women who choose raising children as their career are not lesser women than women who choose to work outside the home. So during this month, (and always) look at your own hi.story; the history of your mother and her mother and her mother. Look back at the women who shaped you through genetics and through example. Look forward to the women you may shape in the future, and decide what kind of example you want to set for them. Because though I may admire some superstars, I admire .my mom the most.
