Anti-abortion demonstrators spark hate speech debate on campus
m.......,..... Sean Weaver
At .
<
We have the option of listeningi qr going
about our business. If you don't want to listen, just keep walking.' - Joe Ortiz Auraria Chief ofPolice
r
Debate over free-speech rights has raged on campus since anti-abortion demonstrators and students clashed Oct. 2 and 4. "We're all concerned about First Amendment issues,"said Auraria chiefof Police] oe Ortiz. Auraria police arrested Chuck Spigola Oct. 4 after he and his group harassed students on campus. "There is a difference between an individual and a group," Ortiz said. 路~ individual can come down here and spout off anything he wants, as long as he doesn't disrupt the campus. When they come down here as a group, they are in violation of our policy. "(Spigola's group) couldn't grasp that distinction. They were not acting as individuals, but acting collectively. They were fully informed that we did not deny them the right to speak, we just regulate it for the students' protection." Tracy Rhines, Metro's student government vice president of Administration and Finance, said he was glad to see the prote~ters arrested. "They should have arrested, but that's exactly what they want," he said. "So how can you deter people where the deterrent is what they want? I just feel like my hands are tied in so many ways. I really do feel it's dangerous for the students to get involved because it's going to escalate each time. They will endanger more students and start to interferer with our academic courses." Metro's assistant vice president of college communications, Debbie Thomas said the college has clear rules regarding groups speaking on campus. "Obviously we support everyone's right to free speech," Thomas said. "If people do want to conduct some sort of group demonstration, they are required to get a permit. It's not an issue of free speech." The use permits regulating speech are allowed if three conditions are met. First, the government must show there is an important reason for permits, such as to receive advance notice to ensure public safety. Second, the procedure for obtaining a permit must be dear to prevent bias from decision making, and third, safeguards must be in place, which allow a full hearing before speech is prevented. In order for a group to obtain a permit to hold a demonstration on campus, a student organization or institutional organization must sponsor them, Ortiz said. After a group sponsors speakers or a demonstration, Auraria administrators consider if security will be needed, if the event would disrupt campus by means such as amplified sound, or if there is a schedule conflict for space. Ortiz said the anti-abortion demonstrators crossed the boundary of protected free speech when they began to taunt and harass individual students. "It got to a point to where if we didn't remove him, the crowd was worked up enough to where violence could have erupted," Ortiz said. The Supreme Court has made a distinction in several cases between fighting words, which is not protected speech under the First Amendment, and speech, which might be considered offensive. "Resort to epithets or personal abuse is not in any proper sense communication of information or opinion safeguarded by the Constitution," wrote Supreme Court justice Frank Murphy in delivering the court's 1942 opinion on fighting words. The court has also held the more broad category of hate speech or other offensive speech is protected. "Displays containing abusive invective, no matter how vicious or severe, are permissible," wrote justice Antonin Scalia. "Those who wish to use 'fighting words' in connection with other ideas- to express hostility for example, on the basis of political afftliation, union membership, or homosexuality- are not covered." Rhines said he feels off campus groups are more protected than students. "What I really feel is unfair, is the students are held to a higher standard than people who come in from off campus," he said. "The students stand more a chance of getting in trouble than people who come in from off campus. Rhines said the student government is considering ways to prevent clashes between students and off-campus protesters in the future. One of the options the group is considering is a student marshalling program where selected students can help diffuse a confrontation. "I think that will be as effective as pouring gasoline on a fire, but we have to try," he said. " I hope it does work" Ortiz said students should consider other avenues, besides violence when confronted with offensive speech. "We have the option of listening or going out about our business," he said. "If you don't want to listen, just keep walking."

Auraria deans discuss gallery's fate ·:-·II
Chris Ward ni. . . ., . . . .
The deans of the three campus art departments met with student representatives -<.. and Auraria executive vice president for Administration Dean Wolf Oct. 11 to discuss the future of Emmanuel Gallery. Metro student representative James Mclellan said the gallery, which has been closed since July 1, should be open for the spring 2001 semester. ."I'd say it's almost 100 percent that it will be open this spring," Mclellan said. Mark Heckler, dean of University of Colorado at Denver's college of arts and media, simply said the chances of the gallery being open 111 January were "beuer than 50 percent." The main result of the meeting was an
agreement between the art department deans and Wolf to prepare a proposal on how to generate the $20,000 needed to get the gallery open by spring. The proposal, which ''will make sure Emmanuel is open this spring," according to Mclellan, will be presented to Auraria Higher Education Center Oct. 17. "We think that it will cover half a year," Heckler said. The $20,000, which' will come from the three schools and Auraria, will cover the operating costs of the gallery and the salary of whoever runs it during that semester. The gallery had previously been operating on a budget of $37,499 for the 1999-2000 fucal year. A long-term proposal will be presented to Auraria executives Nov. 21. The long-term plan will include finding a permanent director and taking steps to ensure that Emmanuel Gallery would remain open. Heckler said the proposal
would mean having everything in place byJuly 1, 2001, for the start of the next fiscal year. Heckler said no one has been selected to run the gallery until the new director is hired, but he has suggested contacting Ken Peterson. Peterson was the interim gallery director until his salary was eliminated from the budget July 1. The Auraria Visual Arts Council will be handling the search. "I've asked them to work with Dick Feurbom," Heckler said. Feurborn, the division director of Facilities Planning and Use, has been trying to find a way to reopen the gallery since August. Heckler also pointed out that operating the gallery during the spring would not neces.sarily include hiring someone new. "It's not a job, it's not a position," Heckler said. "It's just a way to fill the requirement until
we find someone permanent." Among the factors affecting the meeting was a petition circulated by Metro's Art Guild. The petition, which was turned in to Wolf Oct. 9, contained 2,109 signatures of students who wanted the gallery reopened as soon as possible. "The signatures were very encouraging," Art Guild member Arlene Bergslien said. "They showed that there were a lot of students not only who supported the gallery, but even a few who were interested in working there once it reopened." "I think it had an important impact on the meeting," Heckler said of the petition. He also commented on the guild's ability to clearly articulate what the gallery meant to them. "I think they handled themselves very professionally," he said. "That goes a long way."

Human rights activist scheduled for lecture
II
Jennifer Youngman ni. . . ., . . . .
To some he's known as the "moral voice of Mexico." To others he's known as Don Samuel. He is Samuel Ruiz Garcia, a former Catholic bishop who mediated the conflict between the indigenous Zapatistas and the Mexican government after a 1994 rebellion and has since been nominated for four Noble Peace Prizes. Ruiz Garcia is spending the weekend of Oct. 13-15 in Denver, speaking both privately and publicly about his human rights work in Mexico. Ruiz Garcia's first public speaking engagement is at the Tivoli Tumhalle at 7 p.m. Oct. 13. The lecture is called Developing a Global
..::. Human Rights Campaign. Anna Sampaio, a political science professor at the University of Colorado at Denver and the chairwoman of the committee which brought Ruiz Garcia to Denver, said the lecture will detail the history of
the former Bishop's fight for human rights. She said the lecture will also address ways for indigenous people from around the world to link together, hence Developing a Global Human Rights Campaign. On Oct. 14, from 4-6 p.m., Ruiz Garcia will be listening, instead of speaking. At the Four Winds American Indian Center, the former Bishop will listen to those who come to share their struggles as indigenous people, Sampaio said. However, Ruiz Garcia will close out the session with a 30-minute statement. Ruiz Garcia's final meeting with the public will be Oct. 15 as he hosts Mass at St. Dominic's Church at 5 p.m. All three of these events are free and open to the public and Sampaio said she hopes that many will attend. ''A lot of people have heard of Chiapas, and the turmoil there," Sampaio said. "We wanted to construct a more meaningful dialog on the topic." Sampaio also noted that both English and Spanish translations will be available at the events. For more information contact Anna Sampaia 303-556-8318
Someone broke off the windshield wipers and scratched and dented the front, rear hoods, and the passenger side of a 93 Nissan Sentra, according to Auraria Police reports. The car was parked on the third floor of the Auraria parking garage. Kelly Meigs, a Metro student and Auraria Parking employee who owns the car noticed the damage around 10 p.m. on Oct. 3 as she was leaving for the night. "I have no due (who did this)" Meigs said.

Representative believes financial aid provision unfair
m
Sean Weaver
.... llftta,. .....
The author of a bill to repeal denial of federal financial aid to people convicted for drug offeoses said he will reintroduce the measure next year if it is turned down. Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA), the bill's author, said the current law discriminates a~t poor and minority students. "It's and example of the stupidity in the way we are trying to prevent people from doing drugs," Frank said. "Bush and Gore, if they needed
financial assistance, would have been turned down under the law. By definition, if you have enough money, it doesn't hurt you." Under the current law, any student who has been convicted of any drug offense under state or federal law is indigible to receive any grant, student loan, or work assistance, unless he or she completes an approved rehabilitation program. For a person convicted of a first-time offense for possession of drugs, a student is ineligible for financial aid for one year. For the second possession offense, a student is ineligible for two years, and for a third possession conviction, a
student is ineligible indefinitely. For a person convicted of selling drugs, a first-time offense carries a one-year term, and for a second selling conviction, the term is indefinite. Colorado colleges and universities mostly rely on a student's honesty about drug convictions, since financial aid offices are not required to verify students' answers regarding drug convictions. The Colorado Department of Education, however, conducts random checks on financial aid forms, and a student caught lying faces the los.s of all financial aid privileges.

Minority student . population growing across Colorado DENVER (AP) - A state education official said a new report that shows minorities now make up 20 percent of Colorado's in-state public college students is proof that measures to promote campus diversity are working. A study released Oct. 5 by the Colorado Commission on Higher Education said there are 31,746 minority undergraduates in Colorado public colleges - 20 percent of the total and 3,000 more than four years ago. The report shows the state's system for attracting minorities to college is working, says Jeanne Adkins, director of policy and planning for the commis.sion. seeing consistent "We're improvement, and that's what we're looking for," Adkins said. In 1998, Colorado dropped a controversial quota system in favor of a system in which each college sets its own goals and methods for attracting students from minority groups. While the numbers do not show a dramatic difference between the quota and the new system in drawing minority students, Adkins said she thinks the new system is at least as effective as quotas. Two years is not enough time for enrollment numbers to fully reflect the new system, she said. Adkins said Colorado's public schools use a wide variety of avenues for minority recruitment and retention. "None of the¡28 in.5titutions is doing the exact same thing," she said. 'They've all tailored their efforts to take advantage of the strength.5 of their campuses to attract and keep minority students." For example, the Colorado School of Mines is working to increase the number of qualified minorities through highschool outreach and summer programs. Fort Lewis College said it will live up to its mission to provide access to Native Americans, among other goals. The report defines minorities as students of Hispanic, Asian, black or Native American descent Skeptics said diversity breakdowns can be deceptive. "You have to be careful when you start lumping groups together - that's a dangerous game," said Cecil Glenn, former director of ethnic studies at the University of Colorado at Denver. "Some groups can go up (in enrollment), but who goes down? Hispanics are a fastgrowing population. But if blacks and Native Americans go down, what have we accomplished? When all groups go up, then you can boast ~ut it"

M Brian Bergstein 111111.roclaWd ,,.,, SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) - Remember the old commercial about buying the world a Coke? In an Information Age version of that notion, 3Com Inc. plans to use the Internet to poll people around the world for their views on sex, education, dreams and other personal topics. The computer networking company said , Oct. 5 it is working with the Harris Poll and technology leaders such as Sun Microsystems Inc. and Oracle Corp., to carry out its "Planet • Project" during four days next month. "The poll is the biggest, fastest, most sophisticated survey of its kind ever attempted," ' said 3Com's chief executive, Bruce Claflin, in a statement from the "Planet Project Mission Control Center." "It's a bold demonstration of how technology can be used to foster greater understanding across geographic, cultural and economic barriers." The goal of the project i.5 less altruistic than world peace, however. 3Com, which spun off its Palm handheld computer division, wants to show off how its products and systems work behind the scenes of the Internet. "Every phone in mission control is a 3Com NBX phone," the company dryly boasts, "streaming both voice and data in one network for superior inter-office connectivity." Harris Interactive developed the poll's questions, to be offered in eight languages. Questions will be posed at www.planetproject.com, and participants will be able to see how their answers compare to those of people around the world.

Generation X voting inaction The other day I had lunch with my old friend Joe. Joe enthusiastically showed me his new tattoo. He had spent months designing the ultimate "tatt"-getting two different friends, bolh artists, to work on it. After perfecting his creation, he spent a few weeks finding the "right" artist to copy his masterpiece and recreate it across Joe's pectorals. Danielle As far as tattoos go, it was pretty cool, I guess. I Haraburda expressed my appreciation and we turned our attention to other things. As a political activist, I talk about politics quite a lot (it's a hawd of being my friend), so eventually my discussion with Joe turned to a more civicminded topic. Imagine my surprise when my friend casually mentioned that he really hadn't had time to think about the upcoming election. In fact, he stated he wasn't even sure if he was registered to vote. "You'd take five months of your life to research a tattoo, but you don't have time to vote?" I exclaimed. Joe pointed out that while elected officials are only around for a few years, tattoos are forever. Guess he had me there. Joe's really not all that different from other youth these days.
Apparently, the 18-30 age bracket is rife with political apathy. Only onethird of people in this category even bothers to vote. That means that this year approximately 35 million generation X'ers will not be found in the polls. It seems we really love the Rock the Vote concerts, but the final analysis states we're too busy surfing the web and driving around town with a cell phone strapped to our head. Don't tell me you're too busy with your full-time job and full-time school schedule. So am I. Reading the newspaper to educate yourself on current issues, and taking 20 minutes once every couple of years isn't going to derail your life. And don't tell me your vote won't make a difference. This is a common statement, and during a presidential election year people have a tendency to forget there are other issues on the ballot. I heard this excuse the last time Coloradans had the chance to vote. Now I'm paying for adamn stadium I never wanted and won't use. This year voters can get a chance to vote on a great many things from medical marijuana, to a measure that effects state funding for public services, to an anti-abortion measure. Maybe not as cool and sexy as dragon of death tattoo across you chest, but, I assure you, it's worth it.

Auraria campus shouldn't embrace hate speech Dear Editor, fll'St off, I would like to commend Sean Weaver on his article "Free speech rights trampled on campus," in the Oct. 5 Metropolitan, for the sentiment in which it was written. However, I would caution his tone of condescension in the rights of students to bristle at lhe message being portrayed. The rights of the protesters were not at all "trampled." The protesters were allowed to spread their message with little or no control from lhe police. They were only forced to leave when they had broken the laws, which have been upheld by couns and the Constitution. It should also be noted that the students rights to free speech are somewhat controlled on the campus due to the "Rights and Responsibilities" which are printed in the Student Handbook and Calendar 2000. Acoording to lhese guidelines, "participation in campus demonstrations which disrupt the normal operations of the College ... may be subject to disciplinary proceedings including, but not limited to, removal from campus, sanctions, and suspension (86-87)." I would like to know why Mr. Weaver chooses to champion the cause of an off-campus group and their freedom of hate speech, but does not question the limitation of free speech for students on this campus.
When comparing the message of the protesters this week on campus to the civil rights protests of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., he leaves out the fact that Dr. King carried his message in a peaceful, lawful, and organized manner. The people on our campus last week were not claiming to be a group, in order to be outside of the reach of the laws that we all abide by. Mr. Weaver states, "society does not need Hitler or Stalin to be a dictatorship. Freedom can be just as easily decimated by intolerant citizens." While this statement is certainly true, it brings about a whole other truth: Hitler used hate speech to rally support for his political agenda. Our Constitution might protect hate speech, but the campus community is not required to embrace the sentiment. I hope that the newspaper will encourage students who are disturbed by the images and hateful speech to seek out support and help through the counseling center. I would also like to compliment the students who did witness the rally because they did not erupt into violence or destruction or property like the students at CU or CSU have done over something as trivial as a football game. I am proud to call myself an alumna of the Metropolitan State College of Denver Theresa Aho Metro Graduate

There's a huge interest on the part of the media to do press interviews, so we're dealing with that. Our opening night is a big celebration.

Although the festival spends so much of Henderson's time and energy, he seems to enjoy his work. When asked about which upcoming film he likes the most and would most like people to see, Henderson becomes almost sentimental about the films. "That's like asking me 'Which is my favorite child?"'

As part of its Salute to French Cinema, the Denver International Film Festival will feature a tribute to French direc· tor Claire Denis. Denis will be appearing at the festival with three of her recent ftlms: Beau Travail (1999), Nenette et Boni (1996), and I (;an't Sleep (1994). Best known to American audiences for her 1988 debut Cbocolat, Denis has directed a dozen movies in as many years, five of which she wrote. She has also dabbled in acting, most recently in "Venus Beauty Institute," which can also be seen at this year's festival. The three ftlms selected for Denis' tribute are all very char· acter driven, and provide a good sense of Denis' style for those who are unfamiliar with her work. I (;an't Sleep is probably the low point of the tribute. The film focuses on three characters, using a story about a series of murdered elderly women to tie the film together. With the char· acter emphasis as strong as it is however, the story of the film fades almost entirely to the background. Two of the characters the I Can't Sleep follows are Camile ·and his brother Theo. Theo's marital problems as he attempts to raise his daughter make an interesting side story, which unfortunately never really pays off. Camile rarely interacts with his brother, instead spending much of the film at drag clubs or meeting his lover in a hotel. His unlikable character is never really developed until the last third of the film. Even then, what should be an intriguing plot twist comes off more as an afterthought. Daiga, the third central character, is given the least depth of the three. Arriving in Paris from Lithuania as the ftlm opens, and leaving just before the closing credits, Daiga does little except get a job at the hotel Camile lives in. Though at times visually intriguing, I c:an't Sleep leaves the viewer wanting for something more. That something can be found in Nenette et Boni, which suc· ceeds where I (;an't Sleep failed by following a story line that forces the characters not only to interact with each other, but to
grow and develop at the same time. Boni, a high school dropout who lives in his late mother's house, spends his days operating a pizza van and his nights fan· tasizing about raping the neighborhood baker's wife. Boni's sister, Nenette, shows up on his doorstep one day several months pregnant. As was the case when their mother died and their father left, Boni is forced to take responsibility for his younger sister as she decides what to do with her impending child. Especially interesting here is Boni's relationship with the baker's \vife. While his late-night fantasies are violent, graphic,
Katerina Golubeva and Richard Courcet star In I Can't Sleep
and at times disturbing, his interaction with her on a day-to-day basis is by contrast very polite and understated. Denis' latest film, Beau Travail, was unavailable for review prior to the festival. The film is about life in a French Foreign Legion camp in Africa. · Denis has described ftlmmaking as "sharing, and that's what interests me." What also appears to interest her is character, and when she can develop a good story around interesting characters, the result she shares with her audience is cinematic excellence.

EIU.abeth Holder has been woddng in movies since she was a production assistant on 1988's Hairspray, but this year's Denver International Film Festival will feature her first experience directing a feature film. Holder will be appearing with 1be Acting Class, which she directed with Jill Hennessy. Hennes.5y, who is most well known for her three-year stint on Law & Order, also plays one of the films major characters. "She's a real joy to work with," Holder said of Hennessy. The two previou.51y worked together in ~kend Ge/away, a short film by Holder that was shown at last year's festival. 7be Acting Class is a p.5elldo<locumentary inâ&#x20AC;˘.the style of 'Jtliting for Gujfman and other Christopher Guest films. In it college students Liz, played by Holder, andJill, who is never seen but played by Hennessy, are two college students who set out to make a documentary about Ken LaPoubelle, one of New York's most prominent acting teachers. What they find is that LaPoubelle isn't nearly as good as he's cracked up to be. Training his students to use over-act or draw on unrelated memories for inspiration, LaPoubelle is also abusive to all but his favorite students.

'HarrY' combines susPense, dark comedy MChrisWard
lllTMlleWpollu
s. .
"'
As Harry, He's Here to Help opens, Michel and Claire are taking a typical family vacation. Typical in chat their three daughters are constantly complaining, crying, or kicking the back of Michel's seat. Growing weary of the drive to the family's summer home, which is in the process of being renovated, Michel pulls into a rest stop so the family can have a break from the hot, cramped car. This is where he runs into Harry, an old high school friend of his who he hasn't seen in years. Harry seems to have made all the right · decisions since high school. He has a great job, a devoced girlfriend, and he makes enough money to buy cars as gifts. Upon meeting his old friend, Harry is more than eager to join Michel's family for a few days and help out any way he can. It isn't long, however, before Michel and Claire wonder how helpful Harry really is. Wtle effective as both black comedy and suspense, "Harry" ultimately succeeds as a character study. Harry, played by Sergi Lopez, gets what he wants by any means necessary. And what he wants in this film is to do what he thinks is best for Michel. When Michel's children complain about the heat, Harry lets them ride in his air-conditioned car. When Michel's own car breaks down, Harry buys him a new one. When Michel's parents threaten to get in the way of his happiness, Harry does what he can to prevent them from doing so. Living by the mantra, "F.xcess is the only way to fulfillment," Harry serves to show Michel how his life could have been different if he had gone
for material wealth instead of starting a family, while reminding him of the talent he once had as a writer. Also effective in the film is the apparent irony of the title. When Harry's help becomes more trouble than it is worch, the basic irony becomes obvious. Less blatant, however, is the fact that by the end of the ftlm, Harry has actually helped quite a bit.

Perhaps that's why Germany's The Wedding Cow is so refreshing. The man and woman aren't immediately drawn to each other (although there is little doubt on the part of the audience that they will end up together) and they aren't endangering the careers of any supermodels. The other saving grace of The Wedding (,ow is that it concentrates on the comedy more than the romance. Putting the characters into situations just bizarre enough to be Photo CSWR believable, first-time director Tomi Streiff makes it a priority to entertain the audience. Hannah (from left), Tim (Oliver Reinhard), and Flora <Isabella Parkinson) discuss marrige, family, and cattle in "The Wedding Cow."

The image of a man leading a woman on horseback across the horiwn while her dress billows in the wind has a much different effect when the horse is replaced with a cow. Although some of the humor is predictable, and there's nothing groundbreaking to be found in the movie, 7be Wedding (,ow is still a fun and entertaining film. At the very least, it provides a lighthearted moment in a festival largely made up of serious, thought-provoking, films.

and Douglas Naimer, accomplishes something few films can. It makes 72 minutes seem to last several hours. What could easily have been a very interesting study on the nature of religion is lost in a film that consists larzely of the same shots being repeated ad nausea while one of the film's four characters talks to another while the two travel through the desert. The two central characters, a young boy and a silent man, aren't given names, and referred to simply as "Boy" and "Man" in the credits. The premise of the film is that the boy found his village destroyed, the work of the rarely seen "Horseman." The films fourth character, a dying elderly woman, tells the boy he must find the inks. After gathering up these inks, the boy finds the man, who hasn't seen the sun in several years. Apparently he was once a wellrespected teacher in the village, but the shock of the sunlight has turned him into little more than a clumsy mute. The boy and man set out to find a river of ink, and during the next hour the audience is constantly reminded that the religion of the former village revolved around words. Someone who could write was respected;writing well was cause for reverence. The boy is sure that once they find this river of ink, the man will be able to teach him to write the most powerful words in existence. The final ten minutes of the film, when the horseman finally catches up with the boy and man, is a work of cinematic excellence. There are several interesting revelations, and an ending ironic enough to forgive the shoot-out that precedes it. But none of this really makes up for the hour that the audience has to sit through to get there. This needed to be a short film, perhaps 30 to 45 minutes in length. The ideas Dorsey and Naimer present are interesting, and the dramatic twists employed in the climactic scene are excellent, but too much time is spent in the redundant set-up.

Two nameless characters, played by lvallo Chrlstov and lvallo Tsvetkov search for a mythlcal river of Ink In "Here Am I."
The actors portraying the man and the horseman, Ivailo Christov and Josef Serchigiev respectively, have already established themselves in Bulgarian cinema, and Dorsey and Nairner definitely have the potential to lead successful careers as filmmakers, but "Here Am I" is not going to be the defining film of anyone involved in making it. For some, Here Am I may be worth seeing for it's ideas on religion, but viewers shouldn't expect that alone to keep their attention.

It's not often a film that can be considered tragic romance opens with one of the lovers being hit by a speeding car. More often they end that way, leaving the audience weeping for the run-down hero of heroine. And that's only one of the ways Why Get Married the Day the World Ends sets itself apart form the majority of modern cinema. Written and directed by Harry Cleven, Why Get Married opens when Juliette, running from the obsessive Guido, is struck by a passing car, leaving her to lie in the road, staring at the moon and wondering what will become of her now. What becomes of her is that Gaspard, an ambulance driver who she clings to as if her life depended on it, picks her up. Gaspard, on the other hand, is struck by this woman's methods of dealing with her current situation, and keeps tabs on her after delivering her to the hospital. The combination of her seeing him as a savior and his concern for her welfare quickly leads to the films short-lived romance. Not long after being visited by Guido, Juliette convinces Gaspard to help her sneak out of the hospital, to where she can get away from Guido's fixation with her. After helping her escape, Gaspard continues to worry about Juliette, especially after a disturbing encounter with Guido. Soon the two have run off to where they believe themselves to . be free of Guido. Not only has Juliette escaped her stalker, Gaspard has severed his connections to his unrewarding job and dysfunctional family. .

ARIES: Your ideas and information could make the difference, be sure you inform those who can get the wheels turning. Self- sacrifice for the sake of loved ones is a joyful gift. But there are those who might want to take exception to your plans. TAURUS: Clear communication will be very important. Follow up as soon as possible on all correspondence. You are set to make thing.s happen and now have all you need at your disposal to do so. Changes need to be made at home - the suggestions won't be met with enthusiasm. GEMINI: An unexpected money gift will give you the chance to try something new. You feel like you're walking off the edge of your usual routine, and the feeling is exhilarating. Take care of your own needs, which may include taking some time for yourself. Be prudent. CANCER: Always remember that change is the only constant -for your idea of self may be a bit shaken up now. Attitude is everything when dealing with situations and people out of the norm. There are a few relationships important to you that need attention; be sure to state your needs clearly. LEO: Something important you have been looking forward to is about to appear. Don't let your ego get the best of you and induce you to do something really risky. You're looking for a leadership role, but the time isn't right. Wait for the perfect moment to make your bid. VIRGO: All seems quite well this week. In fact, you are probably sitting on top of the world. This satisfaction can come from several areas. Perhaps your love life is improving, or you may have just accomplished something at work. Pay very close attention to all you hear now. LIBRA: Although you are an easy going character, you may easily offend someone if you are not at your diplomatic best. Spiritual inspiration comes in the company of like-minded friends. There ls a real opportunicy for success, but only if you're willing to change. SCORPIO: Continue to insist on quality and honesty in all your dealing.s, especially when issues are in the spodight. It may be the best time to examine how to best use your talents and abilities, and whether or not you need to shift gears where a job is concerned. SAGITTARIUS: The darker side of family members' personalities may emerge if you are dealing with money. Remember that you can only do so much when someone else controls the situation. A requirement of personal interaction must be that you will be treated as an equal. No need to divulge secrets. CAPRICORN: You are in danger of being seduced by something that has an attractive outer appearance, but won't hold up under close scrutiny. Ifgreed is a part of your motivation, put a stop to it immediately. Don't criticize another unless it is done with the compassion. AQUARIUS: Your energy level i.5 at top speed · slow down and be a bit more cautious. It's time to talk about your need for a great deal of independence in relationships, so there are no uncomfortable surprises later. Clarify your point of view and assure others no offense was meant. PISCES: Romance i.5 in the picture, but be aware of jealous behavior. Point out that you are no one's possession. Words of love may get an immediate response, but be assured that you are appreciated. Your primary relationship will distract you from your work if you don't get a grip. IF THIS WEEK IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: Your daily grind may now become more frantic and all-consuming, which may lead to depleted health. Rest and relaxation are definitely in order for the next several months · to rejuvenate your frazzled energies. Make sure all communications are crystal clear; messages may get easily confused.

A sheriff's report said Dieckhoff refused to give the boles back, but a friend of his gave Alber a S225 check as compensation. Deputies said no theft occurred because the hardware amoumed to abandoned property. Deputies suggested the climbers settle the dispute themselves. Alber could nor be reached for comment.

Roadrunners split weekend series
m,........,.....
Nick Gamer and Eric Eames
...
The Metro women's soccer team split a weekend series with two teams from T~, the University of the Incarnate Word on Oct. 6 and St. &:!wards University on Oct. 8. Somewhere in between the two games, an epiphany struck Metro. After being outplayed in a 6-1 loss to Incarnate Word, the Roadrunners made the necessary changes to slip past St. &:!wards 2-1 at theAuraria Fields. In the game against St. &:!wards, senior forward Julie l.anon scored the game winner in the 65th minute to help freshmen goalkeeper Stephanie Boucher earn her first win. For Boucher, it was her first start of the season. Two days prior, the Roadrunners could not find the offense as Incarnate Word took a 3-1 halftime lead and scored three more goals in the second to beat Metro 6-1. The Jone Metro score came from sophomore Sara Norkoli, her seventh on the season. This was the first meeting between Metro and the Incarnate~ ever. Incarnate ~ would get the first three goals of the game before . Metro came back with an answer. Incarnate would get three more in the second, as Crusader Brooke Hopkins recorded ahat trick and Natalie Bice came dose, scoring two goals. The one noticeable change was that in in net. Coach &:i Montojo gave m.y to the freshman keeper and gave sophomore Bridget Gallagher a game off. "~just felt that as a staff, we had to give her a chance," Montojo said 'i\nd Stephanie responded the m.y we hoped she would." The Roadrunners wasted little time in getting on the scoreboard to against St. &:!wards. Ftve minutes into the game, Norkoli fmmd the ball at her feet, after l.anon chipped a corner kick in front of the Hilltoppers' goal. ASt &:!ward's player made an attempt to clear the ball from the goal box, but instead left Norkoli in perfect position to score her seventh goal of the season "Julie l.anon played a perfect ball in, but it went by us," Norkoli said, who left the game with a bruised knee later on in the first half '1beir defender knock it back straight to me and you need to put the ball in when that happens. You need to take advantage of your opportUruties." Metro (7-5-1) couldn't capitalize on any more of its chances for the rest of the game, giving the Hilltoppers a chance to claw their m.y back. In the 58th minute, St. Edward's tied the game and regained some of the momentum on a goal that left Boucher with a slim chance ofstopping
it. Forward Kelly Dacy dribbled free from two Metro defenders and smoked a shot from outside the penalty box that curved am.y from and out of the reach of Boucher to squeei.e just below the far cross bar. "I thought I was in agood positiorr. But once I~ on the ground and looked I.realized that I was a little bit out of position," Boucher said. Montojc> said that Dacy had an open shot at Boucher because of a defensive breakdown, which made even more difficult for her to defend it. The goal brought a sense of urgency to Metro, since they started off slow in the second half and they didn't want to lose for a second time in three contests. "We played so poorly against Incarnate Word that we needed to reestablish ourselves and get our confidence back in this game," Montojo said. b.non would add the finishing touches with her fifth goal of the season. Off a deflected pass by senior Janice Armstrong, ?,anon found herself all alone behind the Hilltoppers' defenders and just a couple feet from goal. She took a quick look at St. Edwards's goalkeeper Delina Lindsey before sending the ball into the net for the game winner. "She took am.y my shot to the far po.5t," ?,anon said about Lindsey's position. "So I jilst hit it left footed to the near post and it went in." The last good scoring chance for St. &:!wards came on a corner kick that Boucher punched out of the goal area with two minutes to play. "Stephanie did a really good job," lanon said. "She's young, but she stayed strong, mentilly and physically." When asked to grade his team5 performance against St. &:!wards, Montojo gave high praise to the team effort, but said that the offense 路 could have played better. "For a overall team effort and commitment a A," Montojo said when asked to grade the Roadrunner's' performance. "F'mishing, scoring the goals, probably a Cminus. "We had some great opportunities in front of the net and we just didn't put them away." When asked how could his team go from a poorly played game against Incarnate ~ to playing an almost perfect game against St. Edwards Montojo said it's all about team work. "(Against Incarnate Word) we were playing as individuals, not as a team," Montojo said. "We had a total team effort (against St. Edward's). People were covering for each other; working hard for each other and not passing the buck or pointing the finger."
The No. 25 Roadrunners won two more games on the road, defeating Adams State 15-5, 15-7, 15-7 and Fort Lewis 15-10,17-15, 15-4, extending their winning streak to 10 matches. Against Adams State, junior Marian Bazana recorded a match-high 16 kills and teammate Mei-Rong Lu had 12 kills. Freshman Devon Herron, who leads the nation in assists, had 48. Metro 9ominated all aspects of the game, out hitting (63-46) out blocking (25-12) out dug 41-38 and out assisted the Devon Herron Skyhawks (59-44). It didn't take Metro long to get past Fort Lewis, only an hour and 38 minutes. The Roadrunners were led by Bazana's 21 kills. Freshmen Jessy Roy and Michelle McBurney had 19 and 10 kills, respectively. McBurney had seven block assists, while Herron had 57 assists and seven block assists.
Men's Soccer (10-1-1, 5-1): No. 6 Metro was in Texas for two games this past weekend. The Roadrunners tied the Incarnate Word 1-1 and defeated St. Edwards 1-0. The Incarnate Word would score first in the second half when they got a goal from Casey Smith who headed the ball past sophomore keeper Eric Butler to give his team the lead. No sooner did the Incarnate Word take the lead, 路 Metro came back and tied the game, getting a goal from junior forward Tony Thomas. Against St. Edwards three days later, on Oct. 9, both teams played tough Scott Gardner defense, but it was senior defender Scott Gardner who broke the ice with 4:15 left in regulation. For Butler, it was his seventh shutout of the season. Women's Soccer (7-5-1, 4-2): While the men's team was playing Incarnate Word and St. Edwards in Texas, the women's team was playing them at the Auraria Fields. Metro lost against Incarnate Word 6-1 then came back two days later and defeated St. Edwards 2-1. Against Incarnate Word on Oct. 6, Metro fell behind early and could not recover. Incarnate Word scored three goals in the first half then added three more in the second. The Stepll芦nte Boucher only goal for Metro came from sophomore forward Sara Norkoli late in the first half. Two days later, the Metro offense would get going, getting goals from Norkoli and senior Julie Zanon. Freshman goalie Stephanie Boucher started in net for the first time all season, getting her first victory.

Injury creates problem for Northern Colorado GREELEY (AP) - The health of quarterback Jon Boyer could have more far reaching effects for Northern Colorado. Coach Kay Dalton said Boyer's status for Saturday's game against North Dakota and beyond could force him to look to the defense for a backup quarterback. Sophomore Josh Stewart, will move to the starting job. "Josh did all right," Dalton said Oct. 9. "He knows the offense. He can throw the ball, but he is not a threat to run." Boyer's long-term status is uncertain.
"I've talked with trainers and after being examined again on Sunday, they aren't sure," Dalton said. Boyer left last week's game after he was sacked late in the second quarter in the 17:7 lo.5.5 to Nebraska-Omaha. He was diagnosed as having a separated right shoulder. Trainers later said he also had a strained ligament in the shoulder. "We'll take some X-rays to look for structural damage and go from there," Dalton said. The coach said he will likely go to the defense for a backup quarterback.

"We have a defen.c;ive back, Erik Viken, who worked with us as a quarterback for a year and he will be our backup quarterback," Dalton said. Viken, a redshirt freshman from Burlington, is listed as the backup free safety on defense. During his high school career, he led Burlington to three state championships. Dalton wants to redshirt the highly touted freshman. 'The reason I say that is I don't think he would be ready to play." Dalton said. "He has had no snaps and I don't see any reason to use a year of eligibility up."
Corner &liJors Note: F.very other week, a di.fferent Metro coach will give his or her personal insight about what is going on with their team This week: Men's Soccer coach, Brian Crookham
Sitting in a hotel room in Austin, Texas reflecting on the first half of the season. Today we beat St. Edwards University to go undefeated with our nonconference schedule. What factors have contributed to our success thus far? This is what I think: Talent and Consistency- We returned 14 players to this year's roster. Recruiting succ~ is a must in college athletics. We have to have the players to make it work. Academic success the key to building a roster of good players over a period of time. The depth on our roster allows for competition at practice every day. The dedication of individual players to being successful both on and off the field has been evident. Preparation - The next game is always the most important one that we will play. Our players and coaches have prepared for each opponent individually and we have not looked ahead. Part of the process is learning from mistakes and I feel we have done a good job of this. Hard work every day is key. Somewhere someone is working as hard as we xmntnitKH are and we want to be prepared for them. Communication - We feel that it is important to have clear lines of communication between players, coaches, professors, support personnel and administrators. This has been the biggest area of improvement on our team this year and one of the hardest things to do well on a commuter campus. With the number of good players that we have on our roster, it extremely important that they are able to talk about playing time and other is.sues that can be destructive to the team concept if not addressed. Respect - Respect for teammates, coaches, opponents, support staff, professors and everyone else that plays a role in our success. When you are ranked in the top five in the country everyone is going to play their best game against you. Not once since we entered the Top 25 has an opponent lacked in preparation or intensity against us. Off the field it is important that we realize that we cannot be successful without the support of all of the people who will never get public recognition. Composure - As I mentioned earlier, everyone is going to play their best game against you when you are at the top. We have done a good job of recognizing when we need to weather the storm and outlast a team. We have also done a good job of avoiding unnecessary cards and situations that can cost us a ballgame because of a lack of composure. Assistant Coaches - These are the guys that do a lot of work that doesn't get recognized. They are a major part of communication with the · team and two great secs of eyes in helping solve '. tactical problems. Their value cannot be properly I i stated. Thanks to all of the people who have supported j us to this point. The next eight weeks will be defining . for our program. Hopefully we are prepared for the challenge. :g ;;':f

Final six games will test the Roadrunners

With six games left in the Metro women's soccer season, the Roadrunners want more then just the proverbial entry into the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference tournament. Metro has the next four games on the road, its longest stretch of the season. They will face New Mexico Highlands, Southern Colorado, Regis and Colorado Christian before they return home to finish out the regular season against Mesa State and Fort Lewis. Four out of the six teams they face down the stretch, Metro has beaten. "Our most important games are coming up," said sophomore forward Sara Norkoli. "I think we are a tittle disappointed (about our record). We lost a couple of important games, but a lot of them were not league games and we're looking, right now, to finish at the top in the RMAC. That's the No. 1goal." Coach Ed Montojo said that he doesn't mind where the team is now, but he knows that the record could be better. "We'll take 7-5-1, but looking back on it, we probably could be 8-4, maybe 9-3, which would be more realistic for us," Montojo said. What the Roadrunners want to do in reality is capturing the RMAC title. Metro's remaining six games are against conference opponents, but Montojo admits they will have to win them all to be crowned RMAC Champions. "For us to achieve our goal of winning the RMAC Conference and finishing No. 1, we need to run the table in the last games," Montojo said. "If we stub our foot along the way we still want to qualify for the RMAC tournament. We're looking for a 'top three finish in (the RMAC).
The road to the No. 1 spot will not be easy for Montojo's team. "We have another match with Mesa (State)
.-c·
coming up here, another match with Colorado Christian-two teams that beat us early on. We didn't play particularly well in those games, but we think we can reverse our fortunes and change some things." Mainly, removing the "I" that some how
sneaked its way into "team." "We're progressing," Montojo added. "We just have to keep in mind and keep in focus that we are a team and play with our strengths and play for each other. We cannot lose that focus and just play as individuals."
No. 7 Miami shocks No. 1 ·Florida State 27-24 As.sociated Pres.s - Ken Dorsey threw a 13-yard touchdown pass to jeremey Shockey with 46 seconds left as No. 7 Miami beat No. 1 Florida State 27-24 at the Orange Bowl. The Oct. 7 game ended when Florida State's Matt Munyon was wide right on a 49-yard field-goal attempt. "Wouldn't you know it?" Florida State coach Bobby Bowden asked. "He's been wide left all year, and then that happens. We had him out there pretty far, though."' Bowden well remembers wide right field goals in 1991 and 1992 against Miami that probably cost his team a pair of national titles. The Hurricanes went on to win the national crown in '91. Chris Weinke's third touchdown pass of the game, a 29-yarder to Atrews Bell with 1:37 left, lifted the Seminoles into the lead for the first time at 24-20. And just when it appeared Florida State (5-1) would survive a gigantic scare, Dorsey rallied Miami (4-1) for its biggest win in Butch Davis' six years as coach. "It's huge for the program," said linebacker Dan Morgan, who Jed Miami with 15 tackles and an interception. "This is definitely going to put us in national contention."' Florida State is the first No. 1 team to lose in the regular season since Ohio State was beaten by Michigan State 28-24 in 1998. No. 2 Nebraska 49, Iowa St. 27 Eric Crouch ran for 138 yards and a late touchdown as Nebraska

rallied to beat Iowa State. Correll Buckhalter scored on two short touchdown runs for Nebraska which trailed 14-13 at halftime. No. 3 Virginia Tech 35, Temple 13 Freshman cornerback Eric Green intercepted two pas.ses and Virginia Tech held Temple to 116 yards. Green, making his first start, intercepted a pas.sand returned it 41 yards to set up a touchdown that gave the Hokies a 28-13 lead. He also intercepted a pas.s in the end zone with nine minutes left to play. Tech quarterback Michael Vick turned the ball over three times, was sacked four times, and rushed for just 55 yards. No. 4 Kansas St. 52, Kansas 13 Jonathan Beasley ran for four touchdowns and passed for another. Beasley had TD runs in the 31-point second quarter of 1, 4 and 15 yards. His fourth touchdown, on a 2-yard run with 4:04 left in the third quarter, put the Wildcats on top 45-6 en route to their 35th victory in 36 regular-season games. No. 5 Clemson 34, NC State 27 Woody Dantzler rushed for two touchdowns and threw for another for the Tigers. Dantzler ran for 103 yards, and completed 18 of 30 pas.ses for 220 yards. Philip Rivers, the freshman who has led North Carolina State to three comeback victories, pas.sed for 370 yards, including three long touchdowns throws .
