BOULDER (AP) - A proposed 20-foot-tall dam on University of Colorado South Campus' property could prevent a flood from wiping out parts of the city. The plan, presented Aug. 24 by Taggart Engineering, also calls for moving 83 mobilehome residents out of a flood plain, instalJing a 54-foot-wide culvert beneath Colorado 93 and diverting floodwater onto a golf course. "This makes sense," said consultant Bill Taggart, noting preliminary support for the plan from CU and golf course representatives. "This comes with my highest recommendation." A study earlier this year shows that onethird more water would come down South Boulder Creek through Boulder during a 100year flood than previously estimated. The latest proposal is one of five presented by Taggart. Other options range from doing nothing to building a 70-foot-tall dam along Colorado 93 that would also displace mobile-home residents. "Either way, they're eliminating our homes," said Doretta Hultquist, who has lived in the Sans Souci Mobile Home Park on Foothills Parkway for more than 30 years. "Most of the homes out here are too old to be relocated. All of us like it here, and we want to stay." The city has not had a 100-year flood since 1894. Such a flood theoretically has a 1 percent chance of occurring each year.

Ethiopian singers,dancers help r~ise money for drought victims m

ChrisWard

Th lhttopolhn

A Denver organiz.ation brought together some of Ethiopia's best performers Aug. 26 to raise money for drought victims in Ethiopia. The Ethiopian Drought Relief Aid of Colorado presented the Ethiopian Cultural Event at the Boettcher Concert Hall Aug. 26. The event showcased some of Ethiopia's most popular singers, dancers, and musicians, and all of the money raised by ticket sales will go to the World Food Progrimme. Ticket sales and donations brought in by pledge cards distributed to the audience are still being counted, but Ethiopian Drought Relief Aid of Colorado workers are already very satisfied with the audience turnout. Yoseph Tafari "We're extremely pleased with the way the show turned out," said event coordinator Yoseph Tafari,,who hopes £!1e fund-raiser won't be a onetime occurrence. Representatives from other states were in the audience to examining the possibility of holding similar events elsewhere in the country. "I think they walked away with one,voice," Tafuri said, confidant that the representatives were impressed by the effectiveness of the show. "This shows a lot of support and compassion," Catheryne Pully said of the events success. Pully came from Washington D.C. to speak at the event on behalf of the Friends of the World Food Programme. Also on hand for the event was Denver first lady Wilma Webb. "We are very pleased that Yoseph Tafari brought these people together," Webb said. "I know that drought can cause a lot of problems." Webb was at the event to deliver a proclamation from the Mayor's office. Mayor Wellington Webb was working with President

Clinton in Nigeria the night of the event. 'Thank you for w~at will probably save thousands of lives," Webb said before delivering the proclamation. "Your financial support as well as your caring will do so much." Webb then read the mayor's proclamation, announcing that Aug.26, 2000 was officially Ethiopian Drought Relief Day. The body of the show was the performances by Ethiopian dancers and musicians. Changing styles as often as costumes, the performers entertained rhe audience wirh two hour~ong sets of songs, dances, and even stand-up comedy, all done in Amharic, the national language of Ethiopia. Among the singers was Ayalew Mesfin, described by his fellow singers as a legend and one of the best singers in Ethiopia. Gaining notoriety as a musician isn'r easy in Erhiopia, according to Mesfin. "In rhe old days in Ethiopia, you became a singer and your family wouldn't support you," .said Mesfm through a rranslator.

A growth-control initiative on the Nov. 7 statewide ballot was the direct result of lawmakers' rejection of similar legislation this year, environmentalists have said.

The League of Conservation Voters, made up of representatives of various environmental groups, based the overall and individual scores on votes on such issues as growth, endangered species, wildlife, open space, mining and water use. Three senators and a record 18 House members had perfect ratings of 100 percent. At the other end of the scale, 11 senators and 28 House members scored 33 percent or lower. "These numbers are still very disappointing," Buchanan said. "In a state like Colorado, voting for the environment only half the time frankly just isn't good enough." Sen. Dave Owen, R-Greeley, took his 40 percent score in stride. "It's a special-interest group and they have special interests that may or may not reflect the opinion of the majority of voters in Colorado," Owen said. Owen's score improved from only 11 percent in 1999. He sponsored a bill to give tax refunds to landowners who set up conservation easements, which Dave Owen make the land offlimits to development. But Owen said his constituents' best interests sometimes clash with the environmental agenda. "I live in a district that's an urban-rural district, where we have farmers," Owen said. "Some of the environmentalists' interests are contrary to the best interests of my voters, so I'll vote against them." Legislation of interest to enviromentalists this past year includes: • A proposed constitutional amendment saying Coloradoans have a right to a clean and healthful environment. A resolution to put the proposal to a public vote failed. • A bill, opposed by the league, encouraging diversions of water from the West Slope to the Front Range. The bill failed. • Amove to ask voters to consider a test of a planned fixed-rail system along Interstate 70 west of Denver. The resolution failed. • A bill encouraging efficiency in water use. It passed. • A bill raising fees for out-of-state hunters. It passed. "Some of the most significant conservation victories were defeats of environmentally destructive legislation," according to the league.

Citizens have right to determine abortion requirements Dear Editor, In the Aug. 18 edition of The Metropolitan, an editorial by Danielle Haraburda, titled Legislation Misnamed, was more about her anciRepublican and religious views than an attempt to inform anyone of what a proposed abortion amendment was about. The "Woman's Health Information Act" was only about half of the editorial. Ifyou can't argue your case while staying on the topic, than whac legitimacy do you expect people co give you? Haraburda complains chat women already go through enough second-guessing with themselves over che issue and that they shouldn't go through more. Well, haven't you ever heard of getting a second opinion? Health care costs tend to be lower in states where there are alternatives to abortion promoted. Nowhere in this amendment are your rights being taken away. You might have already spent weeks on this decision, but the government has no idea of che time you have put into thinking about the abortion until such time that you apply for the procedure. The mandating of a 24-hour waiting period does not place an undue burden or hardship on the mother. Haraburda states the government has no right in to be involved in the abortion decision making process. Thar is plainly incorrect When you' start using taxpayer's dollars to fund anything you have just invited the federal government to put in its two cents worth. And, while we're on the

Letters Policy

money subject, Colorado has avested interest in where its money is spent. Therefore, Colorado has every righc to determine funding and requiremencs on abortions. Afew years ago, U.S. Representative Henry Hyde, R-IL, proposed an amendment that seated the federal government should not be required to use money to pay for abortions. The Supreme Court ruled that the Hyde Amendment was constitutional. Just because a citiren might have a sO-Ollled fundamental righc does noc automatically require che state to fund it. Thar is why women who get abortions have a heck of a time getting federal funding or funding through Medicare/Medicaid. It seems to me that Haraburda is not a sincere journalist. She needs to stick to the topic. When a liberal is confronted with an issue thac chey can't defend against, they either arrack the opponent personally, or they stray WJ.y off target Bryant D. Dillard Metro Student According to the Hyde Ac~ neither federal nor state tax dollars can be used to fund abortions. Medicaid legislation further restricts the use of any tax monies unless the pregnancy has resulted from rape, incest, or the life ofthe mother is at risk. -Editor

Windows serve as reflections, capturing different angles regarding what is happening in one place at one time on different planes路of space.

Robert Gratiot might not have what he calls a "real job"--but upon viewing his artwork at the Spark Gallery on 1535 Platte St., one comes to realize that what is "real" is not so easily defined. Instead, illusions of "real life" are explored by Gratiot through his play on colors, contrasts, _themes, and overlapping planes. In Gratiot's "real life", one often comes away with more questions than answers. "I do feel that art, hopefully my art, should help expand one's vision of one's environment," said Robert Gratiot, a Denver artist who spent much of his undergraduate career studying to be a doctor and biologist. "It should help one see thing; in a new way, and make you somehow richer for the experience. I am very pleased when someone says to me that they will never look at the city, or look at everyday objects, in the same way after seeing my paintings." In the Spark Gallery bchibit, Gratiot explores everyday wo~ders ~d ~rsonal challenges through two strongly differing sub1ect onentations. According to Gratiot, one invo!_ves city scenes while the other centers on still-lifes. In both orientations, Gratiot utilizes similar aesthetic and concep~al techniques, namely the overlapping of planes of space, contrastmg transparency, translucency, and opacity. He contrasts values, textures and complexities. Using this contrast as visual power, his painting; invoke a variety of textures: some passive, some assertive, some receding, some exploding outward. Gratiot's one-dimensional paintings take on the reality of three dimensional objects or city scenes. Examples of Gratiot's use of contrast include john Lennon GI~ in Cellophane and Marbles in Bagpjes. In both pieces, ob1ects are layered upon one another, creating a sense of depth and reflection. In one, marbles glimmer as if set in an exterior light. They are surrounded by translucent, yet reflecting plastic. The depth of the painting gives the viewer the understanding the baggie filled with marbles does not exist in and of itself. The area around the baggie is reflected in the marbles and plastic. In the second painting, tons ofJohn Lennon sunglasses, dearly priced at $3 and made in China, are layered on top of one another confused about, as in the ESS-IX,"said Gratiot.

Local comedians entertain Auraria students

Scott Smeltzer/IH llftlopo!Mu Comedian Jimmy Abeyta tells a joke during his performance at the Back to School Comedy Show Aug. 26. Abeyta was one of five comedians who drew about 60 people.

................ M

Arlene Wilson

Five Denver comedians performed on stage Aug. 26 evening at the Auraria Campus Event Center before an audience ofabout ()() people. The Back to School Comedy Show, presented by the Student Advocacy Cemer, featured comedians such as Tim O'Shea, a regular at Denver's Comedy Club.

O'Shea has been all over the Western U.S. doing his comedy show and has worked with members of Saturday Night live. Appearing in faded blue jeans and a casual shirt, O'Shea entertained the audience with jokes about relationships, parenting, drunks, and Generation X. He joked of retirement homes one day being filled with Ashleys, Britneys and Justins instead of Ruths, Mildreds and Melvins. This younger generation will one day be catching their belly rings on walkers and nose rings on !V's, he said. O'Shea grew up in Colorado, which he said officially makes him an Irish redneck. He expressed energy and confidence throughout his performance and kept his audience laughing throughout his act. The event also featured a Metro student as one of its comedian performers. E.K Butler, a Colorado Mountain School major, told many jokes about the struggles of getting through college. Why is it, he asked, that he is required to actually pass his classes when he is the one paying for the credits? Butler, who is an African-American, also provided many jokes about race and discrimination. "When a black guy calls the cops," he said, "we all get arrested when they show up," noting a time when he called the police about a burglary at his house and the police arrived and began putting him in cuffs. The audience appeared to enjoy Butler, even though his fast talk and loud voice

sometimes muffled his jokes. John Call, who works in Metro's admissions office, was the show's host and comedian entertainer during intermission. He said he has been doing comedy entertainment for the last five years. Although some of his jokes failed to get a response from the audience, folks were quite amused at Cali's reference to a new car alarm that he recently bought for his '96 Dodge Neon. The alarm, Call said, laughs at people if they try to approach his car. Comedian Jimmy Abeyta was the evening's first performer, appearing on stage in black pants and a silk-looking gray shirt. Abeyta has done two world tours, toured with Eminem, and won the Coors Light Comedy Championship. His performance played upon his Latino heritage a~d upbringing, with references to his large family. "When I was in school and the teacher asked what mushroom meant," Abeyta said, "I said, like, it meant there wasn't mushroom (much room) in my house." Abeyta also wondered what it is about sitting on a public toilet that makes people forget their names. Evidence of this, he said, is when someone knocks on the door, we always respond with, "Somebody's in here." The comedian criticized gangs and gang behavior, saying fighting over one's turf or street . makes about as much sense as fighting over Kmart. He ended his performance with an imitation of a drunk trying to get into his car, which evoked

much laughter from the audience. The fifth comedian during the show was Joe Gallegos, who is on parole after having served time in Canon City. While in prison, he is said to have entertained fellow prisoners with his comedy act. Gallegos, 35, played upon his criminal history during the performance in an open and humorous way, stringing a yellow police line tape acl'QS.} the stage because he said it made him feel more at home. He was soft-spoken and quiet, unlike the other comedians, and the audience failed to laugh at a few jokes. He cut his performance a bit shon, as the lighting was poor due co the stage lights going out half way through the show. Paul Encinias, director of Cniversity of Colorado at Denver's Hispanic Student Services, which helped organize the show, said he was disappointed by this year's small turnout. He said that last year comedian Paul Rodriquez brought in about 1,100 at asimilar event, although at least half of those who attended were not Auraria students. This, Encinias said, is largely due to the fact that this year's event was only advertised on campus. Many of the proceeds go toward a scholarship fund through the Hispanic Student Services. "Even though the turnout was smaller," Encinias said, "we actually did better (financially) at this year's event because Anheuser-Busch donated $2,500 to the scholarship fund." Encinias added that he would like to have another comedy show on campus next year.

Afury of shots by Metros men's soccer team led to a eruption a.5 they defeated the Northwest Naz.arene Crusaders 7-0 Aug. 26, in the Roadrunners second game of the season at Auraria Fields. F.ach player who stepped on the field for the Roadrunners-minus the goalies--Wa.5 credited with a shot or an assist. Sophomore forward Danny Gallardo scored the la.5t two goals of the one-sided game a.5 the RQadrunners improved to 2-0 to open the season, while the Crusaders fell to 0-2. Metro continued to dominate on offense as it got off 40 shots, with 13 launched on goal, tack on the seven goals and three assists, and Metro got an early confidence booster to start the season. 'That's what we needed-to work on our finishing," Gallardo said. "I think we're trying too hard." Freshman forward Victor Adetoye, who scored his . first goal and hasn't played competitively in two years, said the first game jitters are out of the team's system. 'There was a little bit of nervousness, but (we) got over it," he said. 'There is a season still ahead of us, we got along way to go. We got to concentrate on the main goal, which is winning and cooperating with your teammates ...." Now that the Roadrunners have two games under their belt, head coach Brian Crookham said the team is

"in the rhythm of playing." But despite tallying up 70 shots, 27 on goal, for the first two games, Crookham still sees room for improvement. "We still have not played the best soccer we can play," he said. "We got to continue to play well, even though we are up by a lot. We got to work on things that we're going to be able to use as we go (against) some of the better teams that we see." What has gotten lost in Metro's offensive barrage, is the defense's ability to damp down on opponents. Metro has held its adversaries to seven shots in the first two games, which is less than the eight goals the Roadrunners have piled up. 'That is a tribute to what we are doing defensively," Crookham said. "~'re not giving up chances and that's good .... ~ got to put it away on the other end other field, though." Other highlights from the game included: • Less than two minutes into game, sophomore midfielder Domonic Duran placed his comer-kick into the middle of the goal area, where junior defender Justin Lowder waited for the exact moment, before jumping and deflecting the ball off his head, to the back of the goal. 1-0. • • In the 13th minute, senior defender Scott Gardner fed another senior, midfielder Chris Thoma.5, who rifled the ball by the goalie from inside the goal area. 2-0. •About two and half minutes later, Adetoye, with a bum right knee, broke away from a Crusader defender, headed toward goal, and scooted the ball by

the lunging goalie. 3-0. • At the 30-minute mark, junior midfielder Tony Thomas cleaved by two defenders to the middle of field where he laced a shot from just outside the penalty area, to the right, to score. 4-0.

Roadrunners put sting on Yellowjackets

Time crawled. But after spending what seemed like an eon to freshman Jamb Shepherd on the offensive side of the field and after firing a continuous array of shots, Metro final slipped the ball by the \tfuwjacket goalie. Senior Brett Manning scored with les.s then 10 minutes to play, avoiding the epoch, as the Roadrunners won the season-Opener 1-0 against Montana State-Billings at the Auraria Fields in the Mile High Classic. Junior midfielder Juan Jimenez got the as.sist .._,. when he floated the ball deep inside the goal area, where Manning out dueled the goalie for it. "Juan just played it up in the air and I just wem to jump for it with the keeper," Manning, a defender, said. 'The keeper was short, so I over ~ jumped him and that's it." But the consensus among Metro players and head coach Brain Crookham was one goal shouldn't have been it. Wdrming up to Sabotage by the Beastie Bo~ , - before me game, the Roadrunners dominated on offense during the game, outshooting the Yellowjackets 30-3, while establishing a pied-a-terre out in front of the net with 15 shots on goal. Still Crookham was not satisfied. "There is no excuse for us not to put balls "" away when we're in from of the goal," Crookham said. 'That's the bottom line-we got to score goals. That's what it takes to win games like this," Crookham gave credit tq Shepherd for the paucity of goals showing on the scoreboard at the end of the game. Others, however, beg to differ. -Y "We made (Shepherd) look a lot better than he actually was-as far as I'm concerned," sophomore goalie Eric Butler said. "We should have had 10 goals scored on him." "We could have had 10 goals on him easily," ~ added freshman fo1ward V1Ctor Adetoye, who fired the most shots (six) and the ma;t shots on goal (four). Meao was on the attack from the beginning. During on span of about 15 minutes in the first half, the Roadrunners had four shots sail just right of the goal post. Junior mid-fielder Tony Thomas had ashot that grazed off the right corner cross bar and Adetoye's bicycle kick attempt pushed the ball wide right. · "I just couldn't get enough foot on (the ball)," .,. Adetoye said. During a two-minute sequence in the second half, Meao was again bereft of a goal, as Shepherd smothered everything coming his way. On one sequence, Adetoye fired a shot from just outside the goal area that Shepherd blocked. Jimenez got :' the rebound and fired quickly, but Shepherd was there to gather it in. Alittle more than 10 minutes later Manning scored the game's first and only goal. While Crookham said he was anxious to play the first game, he must of came away feeling relieved with what shouldn't have been a cla;e

victory.

"We got to be a lot better in front of the goal, and I think \ve will," Crookham said. "We got the first one out of the way, and a win is a win."
