Anger turns lo activism Jenni Grubbs The Metropolitan Although the immediate reaction of Auraria students and faculty to the events of Sept. 11 was one of grief and sympathy, that emotion has been pooled into activism.

All over campus, students, clubs, organizations and administrators are helping relief efforts by collecting donations of money and supplies, and promoting understanding and tolerance through information and support services. In a letter to all Metro administrators, Metro President Sheila Kaplan said "Since the horrific events of Sept. 11, 2001, the United States has experienced a coming together of people of all ages across racial, ethnic, religious and socio路 economic lines unprecedented since World War II. As Metro State moves forward in the wake of Sept. 11, I hope our college community and campus will be united in the same way." According to Metro Student Activities Associate Director Brooke Dilling, many every country in the world including predominantly Muslim countries campus offices and organizations have come together to form a care and are supportive of the U.S. and are outraged over what committee called the Auraria September 11 Crisis team.

Met Radio takes compassion on road Sean Weaver The Metropolitan Met Radio will take its show on the road Oct. 10 to help relief efforts in New York City. Firefighters and volunteers have been removing debris and s.earching for survivors from the collapse of the World Trade Center caused by terrorist attacks Sept. 11. Three staff members from the college's Internet radio station will drive a truck, donated by U-Haul, to New York, to deliver donations from Auraria campus. Along the way, Sean Garcia, Benzel Jimmerson and Imthiaz Hopkins will stop at Ohio State, Kansas State and Oklahoma State to collect donations and film messages from students to people in New York. Garcia, Met Radio's station manager, said the idea started with his 8-year-old son. "He asked what we could do to help," Garcia said. 'Tm doing this to make my heart feel good and to show my son these things can be done. "It's going to take us four or five days to get out there since we're talking to people The three along the way," he said.

World wide virus hits campus computer labs Sean Weaver The Metropolitan Internet service was temporarily disrupted on campus Sept. 18 in response to a world wide computer virus. While the Nimda virus affected some computers on campus, it did not harm the server where the college's web site is stored, according to Metro network analyst Ben Zastrocky. Jay Martin, Metro's vice president of information technology, said his staff shut off web browsing on campus as an experiment to find out if the public could access Metro's web site while on-campus access to the Internet was blocked. "The test was successful," he said. "It was a well written virus, so it was

effective at disrupting things around the globe," Martin said. "One of the ways the virus was spreading was people visiting infected sites." Martin said a few computers in the computer labs were effected for about an hour, but the information technology staff was able to fix the problems. . The virus attempts to exploit the vulnerability in some versions of Mircosoft Outlook Express and Internet Explorer, run allowing infected files to automatically. The virus copies itself into the windows directory and attempts to spread itself to other users via networks. "The worst case was one file server had 10,000 files written to it," Martin said. ''The solution was to use Norton Anti Vrrus software. The web server software was updated with security patches very early

on in the process so there was very little disruption to the college web pages." Martin said all e-mails on campus are scanned with anti virus software, which picks up viruses every day. "People are writing viruses daily, but only a few of them get through and cause problems," he said. Martin said the software installed on the 700 computers in the campus labs also help control problems. ''The computers in the student labs are running Windows 2000," he said. ''That allows us to configure the computer to prevent students from inadvertently or maliciously altering the software. That makes our job of managing the desktops much easier. It used to be the students could change things on the computers. That was a huge task to keep the computers running smoothly."

Students' safety biggest concern SAFETY from 3 normal activities as quickly as possible." Krohn also said she has received e-mails and pictures from Metro international alumni from all over asking about how the current international students are doing. "It's good for the Metro community to know that there are people all over the world thinking about us," she said. A CU-Denver senior, who is part of the

Muslim Student Association, said, ''We've seen more interest, since it happened. The students themselves have been very supportive and willing to learn. Some of the ones that once thought the religion itself bred terrorists are seeing us differently. I care for the religion and to see people do things under the name of the religion hurts me. It makes me feel bad that I can't educate the American people."

SGA proposes open foru111 to educate students Matthew Gavin

•

The Metropolitan The Student Government Assembly's meeting on Sept. 13 focused on the campus' reaction to the terrorist attacks and what the SGA should do in response to any racial negativity. Several SGA members said they noticed changes on campus already. Both Candace Farmer, SGA President, and Miriam Rabih, SACAB Representative, noticed Muslim classmates who were not wearing their traditional dress out of fear. According to Jorge Hernandez, V.P. of Student Services, this fear was well founded.

Hernandez said he heard of a Muslim student at the Auraria Campus being slapped for what appeared to be racial reasons. Valerie Boles, Administrative Assistant at the SGA's Tivoli office, said she had received some emotional calls from people who she thought sounded "anti-American." According to Boles, the callers wanted to voice their opinions on negative aspects of American life. She also added that callers with the opposite viewpoint had also been calling, expressing their grief for the recent East Coast tragedies. SGA members discussed having a kind of open forum in order to educate

students oil the events to prevent racism against Arabic students on campus. Hernandez said that the SGA needed to strongly voice its concern to "uninformed students" and cannot tolerate that kind of "stupidity." Several suggestions were also made on what the official response of the SGA should be. The group debated over various ideas but the underlying feelings was that the Auraria Campus needed to be better educated on the tragedies and remain peaceful. The SGA representatives decided that an official statement voicing the opinion that racism would not be tolerated on campus needed to be made immediately. "I'd be ashamed of

ourselves if we didn't make a statement," said Farmer. -She continued by saying that she would like to see a statement pertaining especially to the campus atmosphere. "We are one campus and we don't want hate here," said Farmer. Ivan Rodriguez, SGA Attorney General, said that the SGA statement should specifically state that "hate crimes will not be tolerated by Metro." Chris Meskow, V.P of Student Fees, took that a step further and said that there should be some kind of repercussion to people who are violent. "This is our campus, we love everyone," said Farmer.

police briefs Kami Perez, who works in the campus administration building, reported a theft Sept. 10. She discovered a laptop computer, a computer case and a PC card missing. 'l'he items had been kept in a locked cabinet. The theft is believed to have occurred between Aug. 31 and Sept. 4.

Wartime calls Americans to sacrifice David Hindman

...

•

Tuesday at 7:03 a.m., I turned on the television to watch Good Morning America or The Today Show , to break up the silence of our house while I fixed breakfast for the kids. As soon as the television screen lit up, I saw the footage of yet another of those action/disaster films, presumably coming to a theater near you. It looked like they had combined the movie, "Die Hard," with its sequel, but Bruce Willis never came to save the day. I know, in a portion of my mind, that the footage of aircraft destroying the World Trade Center was real, but the rest of my faculties leave me with the stubborn impression that it was the imaginary magic of the silver screen. If only it had been that simple. My wife works in the tallest building in Denver. My little boy goes to school near a federal installation. For the first time in my life, I am realizing that terrorism is not an abstract concept confined to the boundaries of

countries overseas or to cellophane winding through theater projectors. It can affect me, very personally. I didn't know whether to be heartened or saddened by what happened aboard the plane in Pennsylvania. But now I've decided it is a painful joy that my brother and sister citizens fought for the lives of others aboard that airship when they were told of the incident in New York. My mind was caught up almost immediately rn a maelstrom of thoughts concerning the sacrifices that every American may need to make, following the example of those on the Pennsylvania flight, rescue crews on the ground, and even the historical example of our grandparents or great ·grandparents in World Wars I and II. My wife's grandmother knows what wartime sacrifice is. She endured the morning sickness of a new pregnancy and

chose to work at an ammunition manufacturing plant here in Denver, while her husband served overseas. The fumes from the oils used in the manufacturing process made her very sick. She would have been dismissed if her superior found out she was pregnant, but she kept it secret. She had a husband fighting the war, and she would support him. Our fire and rescue workers are now on the front lines of this war, and the public has poured out their to hearts support them. Soon, we will have soldiers on the front lines, and we will need to do everything in our power to empower them and encourage them, remembering that, because of the nature of terrorism, we are on the front lines too. We are all fellow soldiers. We are the freedom fighters. We may need to offer the sacrifice of prayer. We may need to sacrifice comfort,

wealth, time, effort, sweat, blood and potentially our own lives or even the lives of some of our children. Yes. War is a terrible thing, perhaps the closest thing to hell on this earth. But anything less than a wholehearted effort by every person in this country will make it harder and longer than it should be. We need to get the job done. _ This is war. And war means sacrifice. The terrorists have underestimated the mettle that we are made of. They did not know that, when the weapons of choice were aircraft from United and American, the molten steel would form the amalgam of a united America. We are all angry. We love our country. We are right to thirst for a cool drink of justice but must guard against the excess of revenge, which is salt water to our souls. Justice must be administered through the thoughtful judgment of our government, not through the vigilantism of personal revenge. In the end, it is justice that is sweet, but revenge is bitter and unsatisfying. We should not confuse the two. And with our minds stayed on what is right, let's go forward together in the unity we found in the first hours of our disaster, and fight with steely resolve for the justice that is ours, until we lay hold of it.

Letters to the editor

Let us not abandon our values

·...

Dear Editor, In the coming weeks and months there will be much discussion about the causes and consequences of the terrorist attacks on America and whether these attacks could have been prevented. Two points, however, are very clear: an overwhelming. majority of Americans want revenge and that military strikes in retaliation are imminent. But as the nation mourns and prepares for war, some disturbing developments are occurring within our American family in the form of hatred and violence directed against Americans who are of Arabic or Islamic background. Scores of such incidents are reported to have taken place across the country including some death threats. At this traumatic time, we face not only the challenge to defeat the evil of terrorism but also the challenge of holding steadfastly to the cherished valueS' and principles of freedom and justice that make our country the most

unique society in the world. We must "Those of you have fled your home show resolute courage not only in the countries because of religious fight against terrorism but also in our persecution, welcome to the country defense of our where you can constitutional freely practice against principles and belief in one god, civil liberties . many gods or no Crusade against without fear god should terrorism should of persecution." not be allowed to That is a real be allowed to become a crusade truth about this against a faith country. and its innocent That is why become a adherents. some of the Exactly a year results of a recent a faith and its poll conducted by ago, I was honored to be a the Rocky innocent keynote speaker Mountain at the ceremony News/News 4 in of awarding the aftermath of American the terrorist citizenship to over six hundred attacks are alarming.

religion in the United States, only 15% of those polled expressed strong disagreement with such action. Seventy two percent said that they somewhat disagree and 8% declared that they either strongly agree or somewhat agree with such action. I sincerely hope that these · numbers do not reflect the national opinion, but if they do, then we have another and perhaps more significant threat to deal with and that is the threat to our national values and principles. During the Second World War, the country witnessed the internment of thousands of American citizens of Japanese ancestry. In the present crisis, there are some Americans who are calling not for the internment of Americans of Muslim faith but for their death. At this moment of pain and crisis, let us not abandon our national values and principles.

Movie studios change plans after attack Two weeks ago, it would have sounded like the basis for a Hollywood action movie. Now Hollywood studios are doing everything they can to keep audiences from drawing connections between their movies and the tragic events of Sept. 11, 2001. Before the day was out, two major movies scheduled for late September and Early October release were postponed, with no new release dates set. The biggest pullout was Collateral Damage, an Arnold Schwarzenegger Chris Ward vehicle about terrorist on film bombing of a skyscraper. Not only was the opening date indefinitely postponed, but theaters were asked to take down all posters and other promotional materials. The movie's website was also taken down. This was a tasteless idea to begin with, basing an action movie around the Oklahoma City bombing, but it would be even worse so soon after the recent national tragedy. Warner Brothers released a statement the next day saying that director Andrew Davis, Schwarzenegger, the producers, and everyone else involved "extends [their] deepest

The Denver Film Society is in the midst of preparations for the 24th annual Denver International Film Festival, which will be at the Tivoli theaters from Oct. 11 through the 21. This was originally scheduled to be the last festival before construction began on the Starz-Encore FilmCenter, '°~ which will be the permanent home of the Film Society and all its festivals. However, in order to ensure construction doesn't interfere with the 25th anniversary festival in October of 2002, the remodeling has been pushed back one year. Construction is now scheduled to begin in November of 2002. The Film Society held an orientation meeting at the Tivoli Sept. 15 for festival volunteers. Film Society media representative Britta Erickson said there were a lot of Auraria students volunteering this year, as a result of oncampus advertising. "It was a chance to sign up to become a volunteer and learn the different areas they will be working in," Erickson said. "We had a great response ... which is fabulous; we can't have a festival without volunteers."

novel by humor columnist Dave Barry. Unlike Damage, which focuses on terrorism, Trouble's Sept. 21 release date was postponed because of a few scenes in which criminals manage to sneak a bomb onto an airplane. The scene was originally meant as a jab at Miami International Airport's lax security (the bulk of the story is poking fun at Barry's home city of Miami in some form or another), the studio felt it would be poorly timed to release the movie so soon after the attacks. In addition, a few other release dates have been moved around and the trailer for next summer's Spiderman movie was pulled because one of the main images is a spider web suspended between the World Trade Center towers. But will there be any lasting impact on the film industry, aside from an altered skyline in New York establishing shots? The postponed movies will eventually be released, and summer action movies will continue to be filled with explosions plenty. Eventually, the worst attack ever to hit this country will be another event in the history books; something to be referenced in future films. If anything, movies about terrorism will fade out for a while before coming back in force after the studios decide it is safe. And in 50 or 60 years, Disney may produce a cheesy love story centered around the attack, with the Ben Affleck and Kate Beckinsale of the day, but we can always hope not.

Metro goalie Eric Butler takes a few grounders before the Sept. 19 game against Colorado School of Mines.

Mines sweeps season series again Nick Garner The Metropolitan

Whenever Metro and Colorado School of Mines men's soccer teams get together, the game becomes a chess match. Every move is strategically done and the first mistake could be the last. And for the Roadrunners, they made one mistake and it cost them the game, as Mines, for the fourth consective game, won this time 2-0. In the 89th minute, Oredigger midfielder Eric Talburt took the corner kick from Jared Peacock and beat Metro keeper Eric Bulter to give Mines the lead. "It was a cornerplay set up, it was right where it needed to be," said Talburt. Less than two minutes later, the Orediggers put the game away for good as Nico D'Alessandro raced

down the right side of the field and beat Butler low and to his right side. A stunned Metro coach Brian Crookham said that his team did what they were supposed to do in the first period and half, but didn't play well when it counted. 'We did what we had to do for the first 87 minutes," Crookham said. "but we went to sleep for the last three and that is where it counted." On the other side of the coin, Mines coach Frank Kohlenstein was excited about the win. "It's a great match-up," Kohlenstein said. "I know that Metro had a couple of players out, but they always fight and play well against us. "Both teams, doesn't matter if it's here or over at our place, it's always a good tight match." The games between Metro and Mines are, most of the time, close. The two teams played earlier this year in Golden and the Orediggers won that

Even though Mines has won four straight meetings, Kohlenstein said that his team isn't dominating the series. "For some reason or another, we are able to eek it out," Kohlenstein said. "Our mojo over them is like their mojo over Fort Lewis."
