Metro plans for budget cuts John R. Crane The Metropolitan With a year-long hiring freeze and a S3.3 million rescission of Metro funds back to the state, fine arts departments and student financial aid services must prepare to do more with less. The hiring freeze, imposed by Metro President Sheila Kaplan Sept. 18, and the rescission came on the heels of a $151.9 million cut, authorized by Gov. Bill Owens, from Colorado's S13.8 billion budget. State budget economists announced Sept. 20 that an additional $388 million will need to be slashed from the state budget as a result of a $952.3 million plummet in general fund revenues this fiscal year. The state may have to siphon more money from Metro's $42.2 million budget, which was $45.5 million previously. That could mean additional budget cuts for fine arts at Metro.

"With inflation, supplies are more expensive," said Marilyn Hetzel, director of theatre at Metro. Spending for set-building material such as wood, steel and costumes will be scaled back, depending upon any additional school budget rescissions, Hetzel said. "If we cut back on the academic side, we may have to cut back production," Hetzel said. Building larger, more elaborate sets for musicals on the Eugenia Rawls Courtyard Theatre's expansive stage can become costly, especially with increasing royalties, Hetzel said. If additional cuts are made in the theatre budget, the usual four plays per year may be skimmed to three. However, musicals will not be cut, Hetzel said. Hetzel declined to say how much money is in Metro's theatre budget, saying only that 25 percent of its budget is supported by student fees. The school's general fund pays faculty salaries and equipment costs. Hetzel said she has not asked for a student fee increase. As far as academics, there are two fulltime faculty members juggling teaching and stage production while a tenured technical director position remains vacant. "We'll be severely hampered," Hetzel said. Besides the pared-down, full-time faculty and the resources they have pieced together, there are about eight part-time faculty members who teach but are not involved in production, Hetzel said. "We' ve been blessed with highly competent people," Hetzel said. Besides four productions, the department presents 18 oneact shows as class projects, as well . "The academic part of the program will not be affected in terms of keeping it as it is now," Hetzel said. Presently, theatre is not offered as a major, but is offered as a concentration under the speech major or as a minor. A Bachelor of Fine Arts in musical theatre and a BFA in applied theatre technology will soon be offered when approval from the Colorado Commission on Higher Education is received, Hetzel said. Working toward approval has .

been a four or five-year process and Hetzel said she will eventually seek accreditation, though a date has not been set for either. There are approximately 40 theatre majors at Metro and about 60 students, including nonmajors, working on productions, Hetzel said. Kirsten Krieg, a speech/theatre and music double major at Metro, said more budget cuts would probably affect the size and number of shows, but the department will stay strong. "We get some money from student activities," Krieg said. The theatre department will continue to seek more majors and, regarding faculty, there is a technical director working on a Metro production, The Secret Garden, as well as teaching classes, Krieg said.

Joan Foster, for enabling the department to hire temporary full-time faculty. The 2001-2002 art budget was $38,500. The 2002-2003 department budget is roughly the same. However, if Metro has to make additional cuts, this year's budget could be reduced to about $36,100, Watts said. The department is given a project budget allocation to pay for purchases and maintenance of equipment such as a kiln to fire ceramic obj ects, and to pay for hourly students who assist temporary full-time faculty, Watts said. "At this moment in time, things are running," Watts said. "However, all it would take is a kiln or etching press to go down and we have a problem." Indeed, in the fall of 2001, a kiln did stop working, leaving students unable to fire Art The art department at Metro also faces the ceramic projects.

(;LBT Awaieness mOnfh starts Rami Wilder The Metropolitan Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender 4wareness month started Tuesday with a seminar in the Tivoli and a rally at the State Capitol building a few hours later. The focus of both events was keeping shame from destroying your life. The afternoon rally honored victims of 1)9mestic violence, including those from the GLBT community. Speakers included State Attorney General Ken Salazar and victim of domestic violence Jessica Gonzalez. Gonzalez said her shame was one reason she waited so long to seek help. Metro student Julie路 Thompson was among a group of students who attended the rally to show support for Jamey Collins victims of , domestic violence mthe Gay and Lesbian community. "People always assume (domestic violence) is in a heterosexual relationship," Thompson said. "That isolates those in the GLBT community." The seminar earlier in the day, co~nsored by the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender Student Services at Auraria and the Metro Counseling Center, dealt with shame in the GLBT community. Psychotherapist Jamey Collins presented the seminar. Collins spoke about the importance of finding support ~d increasing visibility for the GLBT community as ways to overcome shame. "Shame is the type of thing that zaps our energy," Collins said. "We have to grow up alienated from those who can help us most. I couldn't go to my mom and dad and say, 'what tr-this about?'"

Rally A woman voices her opinion on President Bush's plan to invade Iraq during a peace rally at Civic Center Plaza Sept. 27. Hundreds of people took part in the rally that traveled around downtown Denver.

The seminar identified the many reasons why people feel shame and provided ideas on how to deal with it. Collins included an interactive activity in the seminar where those in attendance relived feelings of shame they experienced during traumatic times in their lives. Bill Zeek, Metro student, left the seminar still uncertain of what he thought. "It's awful hard to process 40 years of experience in one hour," Zeek said. "Whether it's a positive beginning or a painful poke at a scar remains to be seen." Nico Baker, another Metro student, felt it was important to have the involvement of Jamey Collins. "He is a recognizable face in the community and it was good to have him on campus," said Baker. Collins spoke briefly after the seminar about what college campuses can do to help eliminate shame in the GLBT community. "The primary thing college campuses can do is have safe zones," Collins said. "Use signs people would recognize. People need to know they will be protected in this space from harassment," he said. Collins said he felt college campuses should offer more visibility, education, zero tolerance policies for harassment and information about community organizations that already exist. Another point Collins stressed was finding allies in the heterosexual community as well as in the gay community. These allies can combat issues that only increase the level of shame felt by some in the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community, he said. Karen Bensen, director GLBTSS at Auraria, said the purpose of the month's events is to "reach the people who haven't heard about these issues before and to reach those outside the gay community."

f\uraria, Tivoli have rich history

Film festival wants student submissions

Eric Skougstad

The Metropolitan Auraria was not only a city once upon a time --.-- it was the very first city in the Denver area. ~ In the summer of 1858, William Green Russell and 12 of his companions from Georgia found gold dust on a tributary of the South Platte River near what is now Englewood, Colo. The news of the find spread quickly back east, even though the gold they were panning, roughly $10 a~ay, ran out in a few weeks. Russell's party moved down the South Platte until they reached its confluence at Cherry Creek. After a few shoddy one-room cabins were built, they named their new city Auraria. Phil Goodstein, a former Colorado History ~acher at Metro, says that "Auraria" came from the name of a mining camp in Georgia that was named for the Latin aura, meaning gold. At the same time, a man named Charlie Nichols decided to build his own town right across the river. Nichols wanted to start a town ~tiled St. Charles, where modem-day Denver is. Another group came thundering into the region. A group of men, headed by Gen. WilJiam Larimer of Leavenworth, Kan., wanted the plot ofland Charlie Nichols was on. Some of Nichols' group had gone back to lfuke a claim on the land, though it is disputed which part of the group went back. According to Colorado legend, although disagreed upon by Goodstein, Nichols was the one who stayed at the site while the rest of his group went to stake a claim. According to legend, liken Larimer and his group arrived, they treated Nichols to a few drinks, and Nichols signed over the rights to the land. Larimer decided to name the town "Denver City" after Kansas Gov. James W. Denver. Larimer could not persuade Russell to give l!P-Auraria, however, and the two towns shared an intense rivalry for many years. So intense was the rivalry, that when William Newton Byers first founded the Rocky Mountain News, he diplomatically -placed its headquarters equally between Auraria and Denver City. ~ Auraria and Denver City merged in 1860. In the 1970s, the Auraria Campus was built as part of an "Urban Renewal Project." The campus opened just in time for spring semester 1977.

The Rocky Mountain Filmless Film Festival is accepting Auraria Campus student videos. The films can be on any topic. All submitted work will be judged by Aperture Society members and selected faculty. There is a $5 entry fee per piece, with a recommended limit of three pieces per student. Bring entries to the table located in the photography lab in the Art building. Entry forms will be available 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m Oct 21 and 22. All filmless films should be formatted and submitted as follows: •On a MAC-formatted CD. •No longer than eight minutes. •Format: Quicktime (.mov) file. •Frame size: 640 x 480. •Please use Sorenson Compression. The Festival will be held Nov. 20 at the Starz FilmCenter. For more information, Society at contact Aperture natsplat@attglobal.net, or call (303) 5169518.

Fine arts feel pinch, financial aid does not CUTS from 3

When I said 'Take the bus,' I didn't mean 'Take the bus' An Auraria student was arrested on an outstanding warrant at 8:52 a.m. on Sept. 27 in the Plaza building. According to a police report, he had two warrants out for his arrest - one for driving under restraint, and the other for theft of public transportation.

t"路

Aid for the 2002-2003 academic year was allocated in spring 2002. About $56.8 million in aid was given out for 2001-2002, in the form of federal and state grants and loans, Hejl said. Academic year 2002-2003 will see approximately $57 million in loans handed out. "Aid has been increasing incrementally each year," Hejl said. Hejl said she is uncertain how 2003-2004 financial aid will be affected. There is one Pell grant counselor position that will remain open the rest of the year, Hejl said. She said she is re-organizing office staff to cover those duties. "Everyone is pitching in," Hejl said.

difference in the art department. However, the prospect of the kiln going down, which McClure said she experienced, would be an inconvenience.

Financial Aid, Parking Services Student financial aid services will not be feeling the pinch as acutely as the arts at Metro. "The state has not touched aid funds for school," said Cindy Hejl, director of financial aid at Metro. "We haven't heard anything."

Though there may be some uncertainty regarding student financial aid monies in the future, there are no bumps in the road for parking services, said Mark Gallagher, director of parking services at Auraria Higher Education Center. "We are a self-funding auxiliary," Gallagher said. "Our budget is based on what is made from parking fees." The hiring freeze imposed by Kaplan does not affect parking services. With Metro's student enrollment up from 18,500 last year to about 19,400 this year, Auraria will have no trouble filling its 5,948 parking spaces on a daily basis.

Clothing caper: do you think the thief was alumni? A Metro employee reported a theft of clothing at noon on Sept. 22 from the Administration building. The clothes were stolen between 2 p.m. on Sept. 19, and noon on Sept. 22. Stolen: a Metro alumni jacket worth $78, a Metro alumni polo shirt worth $48, and a Metro alumni decal worth $1.50.

10 THE METROPOUTAN OCTOBER 3, 2002

• Q: Why is the college assigning identification numbers to all students, faculty and staff?

PROTECT

YOUR

IDENTITY

A: Your Metro State Assigned l.D. (identification card) will protect the confidentiality of your social security number, thereby protecting your identity and privacy. Social security numbers no longer will be used as the "identifier" for students, faculty and staff. Q: What kind of number will it be?

Your Metro State Assigned l.D. number will be nine digits beginning with 900 and configured evenly in three groups of three: for instance, 900-123-456. The numbers will be computer generated in numeric order. Q: Will the college be issuing new 1.0. cards with the Metro State Assigned 1.0.?

No, the college wil l be sending a letter to all continuing and new students, faculty and staff on October 1, 2002. This will include a specially designed Metro State Assigned l.D. sticker to affix onto your current t.D. card over your name and current Metro State l.D. number. In th is way your "old l.D. number" (in most cases the social security number) will be protected. [NOTE: Be sure to update your address with the college, so that we have accurate addresses when we send the Metro St ate Assigned l.D. stickers in October]

Q: What if I forget my Metro State Assigned 1.0.?

Beginning, October 1, 2002, go to Metro State's website at www.mscd.edu click on " Get My Metro State Assigned l.D. " or click on Reg istration/Records quick link, and then click on "Get My Metro State Assigned l.D."

•

METRO STATE ASSIGNED 1.0.

....................................................

Will we still use a personal identification number (PIN) in conjunction with the Metro State Assigned 1.0.?

A: Yes, to ensure your identity and access security, we strong ly suggest that all students, faculty and staff change their PIN to another six-digit number. DO NOT write down your PIN. Memorize it, and then change it every six months. You can change your PIN by logging onto www.mscd.edu login secure, then go to Personal Information Menu, then change your PIN. Q:will the college still need my social security number?

To protect your privacy, Metropolitan State College of Denver will be changing your current student l.D. number, usually your social security

Yes, the college still will collect and maintain social security numbers on the computer system for specific limited purposes. These areas include Admissions, Financial Aid, Health Center, reporting of wages for students, faculty and staff who work at the col lege and the reporting of H.O.P.E. tax credits and Lifetime Learning tax credits. The social security number will no longer be used in any public way, for example: on your Metro State l.D.

number, to a random 9-digit number. You will be Q: What if "my dog eats my sticker?"

mailed your new number, along with a sticker to go over your current student l.D. card.

For more information contact the Registrar's Office, CN 105, 303-556-3991 or visit www.mscd.edu under Registration/Records

A: The Registrar's Office will maintain an archive of names and Metro State Assigned l.D.'s for students, faculty and staff, should you lose or inadvertently destroy your Metro State Assigned l.D. sticker. If you need a new Metro State Assigned l.D. sticker you can go to CN 105 and request a new sticker for your l.D. card.

Can I request a new 1.0. card from AHEC with my Metro State Assigned 1.0. if I'd rather do that?

Yes, it will cost you S10, and you wi ll need to bring your "sticker-letter" with you to the Tivoli l.D. area located in Room 269. {NOTE to faculty and staff: The (old) blue Metro State l.D. cards have not been issued or valid since December 1998.]

"I am not a man. "/am dynamite." --Nietzsche Who gives a crap whether or not women have inherent, civil rights? While many are still chanting their mantra and holding hands, crying for peace, the United Nations is awaiting numerous countries adopting the CEDAW treaty (i.e. the Convention on the Elimincition of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women). And, lo and behold, look who hasn't ratified the treaty: Iran, Oman, Syria, Somalia, Sudan, Afghanistan . . .and The United States? Whoa!. Are these not the same countries, I ask, rhetorically, that harbor the religious, fundamentalist, zealots {heathens-dare I say (Websters's--/n/ one who belongs to a tribe or nation that does not acknowledge the God of Judaism, Christianity, or

-··-

Islam)} who killed over 3000 people last year in September? Are these not the countries that believe that capitalism and the United States should not be spared. The followers of a warrior? But, I digress ... Why not advocate the stoning, beating, caning, rape and subservience of women? Heck, it makes sense! They are not, after all, equal to us men, right? "Machismo in the Middle East--An inquiry into the Religious Falsification of the male's ego through the prophetization and fundamental vomit of the "big guy." (Quite an "Honors thesis," eh?) Oh, well, enough about

of America. Yes, for the United States of America · to ratify an international treaty, there must be, in the Senate, 67 "yes" votes. The bill was introduced in 1979. What the hell have we, as a country, been doing for the last 23 years to prevent us from ratifying this bill? That's an easy question. We have been voting for people whose only interest in the United States is lining their pocket. (I mean, come on, give me a break!) In the last 23 years we have had a Presidents that were : a bad actor, a boob, a philanderer and an uku-"yalie." I would rather have had me as

Does the U.S. advocate the stoning, beating and caning of women? these camel-riding jerks who think they are better--through the eyes of a fascist God--than the rest of us. [And , I still dare, I say dare, some middle-eastern, camel jockey to a "mano y mano" (Hemii:gway would have loved that!)] Simply stated, a priori, we have it on our side. If Hitler was wrong, so are they. Most pathetic, however, is that included among this list of countries is The United States

President! (And, by the way, that, says a lot, given the fact that I run from responsibility). Our only saving grace is that we , as a people, have resolve. The most beautiful thing about our so-called "democracy" is that we can have a revolution without bloodshed. Don't forget to vote (even if your vote is for "Bugs Bunny."

After huffing and puffing, up and down the stairs of the Tivoli building on campus, l have decided that it is time to Jose some weight. It has been too long since 1 have seen the inside of a recreation center; and, not too long since 1 have been in line at Mc Donalds. l realize that I have to be careful when writing on this subject. There are many of us that consider , ourselves in this category. However, I propose a solution: let's not be so sensitive. Yes, you heard it, I'll be the first to admit that when I wake up , in the morning, sometime,s my only joy is standing on the scale to see if I have lost a half a pound . . . and, it is a definite defeat to see that I have gained a few pounds from that stin.k:in' doughnut I ate at midnight the night before. Why couldn' t I have just held out til' morning? Let's admit it, we all worry about the way we look. Lots of guys try to hide it with macho pride. Why else would they be in the gym with their chest flexed, trying to impress each other? Asserting their masculinity by giving their fellow barbarians tips to "lift" the right way? And, why would the women on campus get all pretty and pampered to go to biology and then jump back on the bus and go home? Let's just admit it! We spend too much time wonying about cellulite. We trudge up the long staircases of the King Center and, then, sweating it out, skip up the three or four stairs that it takes to get into the P.E. building (which, by the way, has a full gym and fitness center). Exercise not only makes you lose weight, it helps to release endorphins in your brain. These endorphins act as a natural pain killer and mood stabilizer. It is widely believed that a little exercise can overcome many instances of depression. So, you want to feel better? Jump up, right now, and start jogging in place! Let's get straight to the point: Auraria, we need to get into better shape. That means one thing and it does not take a "nutrition" major to figure it out. Let's get our butts up into the gym and work them. So, then, why don't we all just start doing jumping jacks together?

Metro enacts a little revenge With swagger, Runners remain perfect in RMAC Eric Eames --The Metropolitan

Smooth operators. A lmost. The title for best-dressed coaching staff in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference went to Metro, Sept. 27. Head coach Debbie Hendricks and assistants Todd Raasch, Amy Hendrichovsky and Amy Buchanan looked like a crew straight from "The Matrix" with blackon-black shirts and dress slacks. All that was missing were shades and a fieldpiece. "It's kind of an inside thing with the terun," Hendricks said with a sly smile. Whatever dark message the coaches were trying to convey it worked, as the Roadrunners unloaded fistful after fistful of firepower on Nebraska-Kearney, collecting a season-high 76 kills in \\rinning a four-game match (30-1 9, 2830, 30-25 and 30-27) against the I Ith-ranked team in the nation. Metro's own national status climbed three spots to No. 13 this week. The defending RMAC champs improved to 11-4 overall (6-0 RMAC) with another fourgame victory (27-30, 30-23, 31-29 and 30-26) against Fort Hays State, Sept. 28. This one, though, was unattractive, or to put it bluntly .... "It was a really ugly win," Hendricks admitted. "It's one of those matches that I am really glad to get out of here. Statistically we've been looking at the stats after each game and I don' t understand how this match was so close. We beat them in every single category and in a couple of categories we beat them pretty soundly." Metro's most discernible weakness is themselves. Against Fort Hays (9-5, 3-3 RMAC), the Roadrunners had 50 errors, compared to the Tigers' 45. When the record books are written all people will see is the W, but Hendricks remains concerned. The Roadrunners looked passive in dropping the first game to Fort Hays, 30-27. They were down 25-16 at one point. Once again, they totaled 76 kills. Still, with the coaches in new attire mind you, they looked off key against the only team to beat them in conference play last year. "It's like I told the team, when we made up our minds to take control of the game we did so,'' Hendricks said. "The problem I had with it is that we waited too late in each game to make up our minds .... You can feel us raise our level a notch (as the game went on). You can feel us turn the screw, but we shouldn't be waiting into the mid 20s to do that It's too risky." Metro's defense kept Fort Hays at bay, particularly Highlands Ranch native Andrea Logan. Logan (12 kills) averaged just 3.0 kills a game on the night, well below her RMAC leading 4.94 average. Overall, the Roadrunners held the Tigers to a .170 hitting percentage and freshman Andrea Highstreet collected a career-high 2 1 digs from her libero position. "She makes big plays at big times. She does not play like a freshman that is for sure," Hendricks said. Senior Nicki Fusco led Metro against Fort Hays with 20 kills and she moved up in the conference standings, right behind Logan, with a 4.20 kills per game average. Getting the right side and middle players more involved, Devon Herron, named RMAC Player-of-the-Year, tied a season-high with 64 assists. Right side hitter Bonnie Delaughter had l 4 kills, while middle blockers Beth Vercic and Shawna Gilbert

recorded 14 and 13 kills, respectively. "It's always our focus in transition to get our middle (blockers) up fast and to get them to hit the ball before the blockers come," Gilbert said. For most, black is the color of mourning. Going into the game against Kearney, it was obvious the returners were still holding onto a lot of grief from last year, when the Lopers soundly defeated Metro in the 200 I Southwest Regional semifinals. The Roadrunners trundled out of the Auraria Events Center with limp hearts that day. "We' ve been thinking about this game all week," Herron said. "It's always a little bit hard to sleep when you are playing the team that knocked you out of season last year." For others the color black is a kind of strength that is either thrilling or frightening to behold. The Lepers had the latter view. "I think it is just a mentality we are trying to bring," Gilbert said of the coaches' dress. "We're looking tough, we're looking sharp and we are going to play that way." For many that know her, and even those that don't, Gilbert doesn' t pass as a bloodthirsty type. But when the match is on the line and the rally is running long, her attitude changes. "Personally, I get hungry," she said. "I want the ball and l want to put it down." Gilbert did just that against Kearney. With one hard anesthetic right, she spiked the ball right through the heart of the Lepers' defense for the winner that sealed game-four and the match. The Roadrunners did lead 25-18 at one point in the fourth game, before a groundswell of Lepers' pride surfaced. Fueled by a disputable call by a referee, Kearney tied the game at 25-25 with aggressive serving.

"We weren't recognizing what they were doing to us and we got caught flat-footed," Hendricks said. "I say it every time.... we are going to Jive and die by our ball control. They were picking us apa.rt a little bit and that's the one way a team can beat us." "If we get rattled that's when we throw a game like that," Herron added, "so I was just concentrating on being steady and doing what we needed to do." It's not good form to get nervous and fold in the clutch. And Herron is all about form. Setting up two of her 64 assists to Fusco and Delaughter staked Metro to a 29-27 lead. But Kearney would not collapse easily. On match point, the ball went back and forth, several times as the anxiety crowded the throat. Herron and Gilbert, though, felt right at home. "I get excited," said Herron, who fed Gilbert for the final kill, "because the longer the rally goes, the more out of system their defense is. So I knew when Shawna was coming that it was going to be a kill. I knew they weren't going to have their defense up." Jessy Roy (20 kills), Fusco (1 7); Delaughter ( 16), Gilbert ( Jl) and Vercic ( 10) paced the Roadrunners against Kearney. After conquering the RMAC East Division, Metro will look to build on its six-game winning streak as they battle the lesser known teams in the West Division. They began with three straight home games this weekend. After that Metro is on the road again. "We've taken care of business at this point in the conference, both on the road and at home," Hendricks said. "Our next goal is to make sure we prepare properly for a lot of road play."

21 THE METROPOLITAN OCTOBER 3, 2002

Experience or no, rugby open to all South Africa student finds solace playing American version of rugby on Metro's most popular club team. Andrew Lam The Metropolitan In the world of rugby, countries with a rich history of the game come to mind, such as Great Britain, Australia, and South Africa. America doesn't exactly fit into the picture. The sport is incredibly popular in almost all of Britain's current and former colonies (with the exception of the US), rivaling soccer as the number one sport. To the untrained eye, rugby appears to be a combination of American football and soccer, and bas a striking resemblance to a grade school game of recess football. Players rou-

grew up. The game is different here as well, but the differences in actual play are minute. "Rugby (in South Africa) is like footba ll is here, Boarke said. " But the rules are pretty much the same. Rugby is rugby." With such a different fan base and attendance numbers, the competition is varied. "There's a difference in ability," Boarke added, "but I'm surprised how good players are here." Being a popular sport also brings more money into rugby programs, which brings more teams, higher levels of competition and more opportunity for scholarships. "It's great that Liam is playing for us. I think that rugby has helped him settle in," assistant rugby coach Marty McCarthy said. Boarke scored on a penalty kick against Adams State Sept. 29, which was the only score for Metro. Boarke set up Metro's only score in the second half against Northern Colorado on Sept. 21. It 's clear that having rugby experience prior to playing for Metro has already given him an advantage. "Lots of the guys we get have never played rugby before," McCarthy said. "Guys with experience help out the other players who haven't played before, and that helps us get through the basics in the first few practices." When Metro squared off against Northern Colorado, they faced a squad that resembl ed a very competitive team that practices every day, including an off season workout regimen. The Roadrunners on the other hand, a smaller club, practices two days a week and who's main objective is to have a good time. Needless to say, Metro got crushed. "They were good, but they also put a lot more time in," Boarke said. But for a team that takes its parties just as seriously as the games, they faired pretty well.

Metro, with rugby being the most popular club sport, has attracted people with zero experience, as well as players who have grown up playing the game. Liam Boarke, a native of Durban, South Africa, is one of the latter. Boarke came to Denver last March after his father accepted a job offer here. Boarke enrolled at Metro as an Aviation Technology major and joined the rugby club. It has eased the transition into American life. Boarke, a freshman, bas played rugby since he was 10-years-old, most recently for the Hillcrest Villagers, a top club team in Durban.
