elVS Pa e 3 Auraria honors World AIDS Day
December 5, 2002
Handouts, quizzes used to make sure students know the
risks still exist by Jenni Grubbs The Metropolitan Auraria honored World AIDS Day 2002 by giving out buttons, condoms and information to safeguard students against a disease that is just as serious as it was years ago when little red ribbons were so popular. "The feeling we've gotten over the last few years is that people have gotten complacent," said Karen Bensen, director of Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender Student Services. "They think the danger is over because of the new drugs - they're not going to die from it. Drugs don't work for everyone. People should want to avoid getting AIDS." New drugs and promising drug trials 路for a vaccine have led to apathy about protecting oneself during sex, Bensen said, but the vaccines are not expected to be approved until 2007 at the earliest, according to CBS News. In the meantime, nearly 50 percent of new AIDS cases are people under the age of 25. That fact scares Metro Women's Studies worker Erika Church, who worked at one of the five Auraria tables on Dec. 2. "That really got me, so I was trying to force information on them," she said. "They were more than happy to take the condoms and the buttons, and we slipped in the info packets." The five tables gave out a combined total of 300 buttons, even more condoms and many information packets on safer sex and protection against HIV/AIDS and the HIYfTB testing available at the Health Center at Autaria. The health center now uses the bloodless Orasure HIV testing and all tests are confidential and available on a walk-in basis. They also had little "Know the Facts"

Dec. 1 marked the World AIDS Day but was celebrated on campus Dec. 2. quizzes (see sidebar) that people could fill out to enter in a drawing to win Sex for Dummies books. Each table gave away one book. The tables were located in South Classroom, North Plaza Classroom, the Building, the Tivoli and West Classroom. "I think each table had a different experience." Bensen said, referring to student traffic and interest in the different buildings. "We gave out all 300 buttons and we probably could have given more out," Bensen said. "We had the buttons and condoms as lures. We had that free gift to lure them in and we just hope they got the message behind them."

Conference to teach artists how to protect work by Travis Combs The Metropolitan With an overwhelming sense of anticipation, you have just returned from Santa Fe, NM, where you have set up a display of 10 of your best paintings at an art gallery. Unable to make the long drive from Denver to Santa Fe on a regular basis, you wait to hear word if your paintings have been well-received or purchased. Hearing nothing, you call the gallery, only to discover that it has folded. Your paintings are nowhere to be found. This is an all-too-familiar scenario for artists who have failed to take the essential preventive legal measures to ensure their best interests and their work are protected. The Colorado Lawyers for the Arts (CoLA), a nonprofit, tax-exempt organization, will be
presenting the Business of Art Conference Dec. 8 at the King Center. There will a $10 fee for students wishing to attend and a $25 fee for non-students but artist members of CoLA. The conference will address the legal and business issues that professional artists will often face. The artist/dealer relationship, copyrighting your work, licensing your work, legal issues for the performing arts, and online publishing will the topics covered in the daylong event. According to Muta Billeaux, Membership Coordinator for CoLA, preventive measures are the best way to go to protect both the artist and their work from the various pitfalls that may befall them. "A lot of contracts need to be drawn up and looked at," said Billeaux. "To make sure that, number one, that people take you seriously, and
number two, that the artist is not being taken advantage of." Many artists can save themselves future problems by obtaining legal services, such as copyrighting the artwork and drawing licensing agreements before they pursue their career. "Prevention is going to save you a lot of heartbreak," Billeaux said. "It's a lot easier for our attorneys working for free for our clients to prevent certain things from happening in the first place than to try to go in and defend them in court." Problems that can arise for working artists can be numerous and expensive. Theft of an artistic work because of lack of copyright, lack of a licensing agreement between an artist and a marketing group, and galleries and theatres going bankrupt can cause an artist never-ending
troubles. CoLA provides volunteer legal services for artists and art organizations who are unable to afford expensive legal counseling. "Artists should treat attorneys no differently than a member of the artistic community," Billeaux said. "They're supposed to work together." The organization also offers active services to improve artist's rights, such as lawyer referral services, educational programs and access to a law library for working artists to do their own research. The legal services are provided by CoLA at a fee of $25 per legal matter for members only. Those wishing to join or for further information may contact CoLA at www.coloradoartslawyers.org or (303) 722-7994.

Vouchers could lower tuition by John R.Crane The Metropolitan l
Metro's resident tuition will be cut 16 percent if a Colorado higher education task force approves a statewide college voucher program. Under the present budget allocation system, the state legislature gives money to Colorado Commission on Higher Education, which then distributes it to school governing boards throughout the state. The governing boards then split the funds among their schools according to student population, inflation and needed services at those schools, said Joan Ringel, spokesperson for CCHE. Presently, the state legislature spends about $800 million a year on higher education, Ringel said. The college voucher system, which would be the first in the country, would radically alter higher education funding in Colorado. The state would give $3,800 per year to an in-state student at any college or university in the state.
Currently, the state gives higher per-student subsidies to universities than to community colleges. This has resulted in an inequitable system in which Colorado's community colleges are among the most expensive in the nation. The state's universities, such as the University of Colorado at Boulder, are among the cheapest. A voucher "gives money to the consumer and the consumer figures out how to spend it," said Bruce Benson, chair ofthe Governor's Blue Ribbon Panel on Higher Education. A student would be able to decide if he or she wants to start at a community college and transfer to CU-Boulder or Metro, or go straight to a four-year institution. "lt (the voucher) empowers the student," Benson said. Community college is a two-year starting point for low-income students on the road to a university or state college. High tuition has contributed to Colorado's 38 percent college matriculation rate among high school graduates, which is 4 1st in the
Conference to teach skills itnportant to society by Brian Walker The Metropolitan The Second Annual Metro State Student Leadership Conference will be held Jan. 1416, 2003, in Estes Park. The design of this program is to help students and others who participate un derstand the role of leadership skills and how leadership builds the economy. Motivational speakers, experiential learning initiatives, workshop sessions and group proj ects w ill allow a better understanding of leadership skills. This experience will require individuals to focus on leadership skills, as well as on formal communication skills. Dr. Susan Komives, co-author of the book Exploring Leadership and director of
Maryland College Student Personnel Program, will be giving thorough motivational speeches, as well as interacting with students and faculty alike. T he conference will cost $50 per participant. The cost pays for two nights lodging, two continental breakfasts, three lunches, one din ner and conference materials. Assistant D irector of Student Activities Gretta Mincer will provide additional information. Drop by Tivoli room 305 or e-mail mincer@mscd.edu for more information. The conference will be a fun and interactive o pportunity to establish a better understanding of how and why leadership skills are so important to society. T his conference will be highly informative, so participants are advised to bring their thinking caps and warm clothes.
country, Benson said "Our job is to make sure people go to college," Benson said "It's a crime we haven't taught these kids to go to college." According to the U.S. Census Bureau, however, Colorado has the highest percentage (34 percent) ofcollege-educated residents in the country, beating out Massachusetts, Connecticut and Vrrginia, which are homes to the most prestigious schools in the nation. Most of those residents are transplants from out of state, Benson said. Informing high school students that they will have a $16, 000 savings account upon graduation will motivate low-income students to consider college, Ringel said. Aware only of the high tuition rates at community colleges, low-income students see a college education as beyond their scope. Another boon to students, however, would be an increase in competition among schools to attract them, Benson said. Under the voucher system, more tuition money will come from the student, instead of the state. Hypothetically, the cost of educating a student at a school costs $2,000 dollars per year, with $ 1,000 corning from the state, while the student pays $1,000 in tuition. The state would give the student a $ 1250 voucher, thereby shifting the school's state funding to fue student's pocket and knocking the tuition down to $750. The school would still get $2,000 as the student pays 25 percent less in tuition. Such a system could reduce schools' state funds to as low as I 0 percent of their total revenue, making them "enterprises," Ringel said. Instead of schools asking the state for more money, they will find ways to market themselves more to students, highlighting strengths and working to improve weaknesses, Benson said. In addition, if lower-priced universities raise tuition under the voucher system, they would avoid violating TABOR laws, which cap state revenues. "lfyou create more competition, you will have quality," Benson said. With vouchers available to students all across the state, school enrollment could soar, resulting in an increase in state spending. "State budgets correct themselves," Benson

Good posture • • 1s important, professor says by Kristi Starns The Metropolitan
l
. J-
Good posture is a result of strength training or weight lifting, according to Dr. Jeff Simpson, a professor at Metro. "One misconception is that if you think about your posture all the time that you'll actually change it," said Simpson. "[ think the way you' 11 change posture is by doing the exercises that strengthen the weak muscles and stretch the strong muscles." The strengthening· of abdominal and lower and upper back muscles, and a balance between the upper chest and upper back muscles are important to having proper posture, he said. "If the upper che?t muscles are too tight and too strong, then we have a tendency to round our shoulders forward, which most of us do because of the fact that we spend most of our time reaching in front of us or bending over forward, even at our desk," Simpson said. Metro student Shannon Gonser said she did not believe her posture was bad, because she does not slump, look at the ground when she walks, or ache. "Theoretically, it's hard to consciously think about your posture and actually change it," Simpson said. "It works much better if you actually work out with weights, strength training to correct the muscle imbalances you have." But you do not have to be a body builder to have good posture. Simpson listed a few weight lifting exercises to improve posture: crunches and bent-leg sit-ups strengthen the abdominal muscles; bent-flies (bending ~wer while bringing arms up) and back hyperextensions are good ways to strengthen the upper and lower back muscles. "Some of the bad posture that people exhibit later on in life are genetic in their cause," he said. "You can postpone the effects of bad posture by doing these strength training exercises." Matt Wishart, a junior at Metro, said he knew the way to have good posture was by working out, but that he uses his gym at home instead of on Auraria campus. In fact, if you stop the average student, they will not know that the gym on campus is available for them to use. "You pay for it whether you use it or not, so you should at least take advantage of it," said Daniel Gallegos, a sophomore at Metro who works at the Fitness Center. "Gravity is constantly pulling us forward and down," Simpson said. "And if we're not fighting the effects of gravity, eventually the effects of gravity will show on our body."

said. " Our job is to make sure people go to college." The vouchers would fund a student's college education up to 140 credit hours, Ringel said. Sophomores, juniors and seniors under the old system would find themselves with enough money for four more years of college. Metro resident students would be paying less tuition, as well. An in-state student taking 12 credit hours would see his or her tuition decrease from $962.40 to $808.42, a 16 percent drop, Ringel said. The task force consists of the governor's 15month-old Blue Ribbon Panel on Higher Education, the CCHE and the presidents of college governing boards across the state. The task force will hold an open meeting 7:30 a.m. to noon Dec. 12 at the Adam's Mark Hotel.
Smokeout aims to stop students' smoking with encouragement by Travis Combs The Metropolitan The Campus Tobacco Project sponsored the Great American Smoke-Out at Auraria to increase awareness that help is available to students who wish to quit smoking cigarettes. The smoke-out attempted to promote the image that most students on campus are non-smokers, and that negative scare tactics rarely work to stop people from smoking. The event was held in the Multicultural Lounge in the Tivoli building Nov 21 and featured literature on the benefits of quitting smoking, chair massages and advice from peer educators. Each year during the Great American Smoke-Out, the American Cancer Society promotes local and nationwide events that focus on the benefits of not smoking. The Campus Tobacco Project's long term goal is to reduce smoking among Metro's student population. It is funded by the tobacco settlement won against the major tobacco companies, which offers grants to schools that offer peer education programs through the Colorado Collegiate Tobacco Prevention Initiative. "Our Campus Tobacco Project is a threeyear-long project to alleviate smoking among college students by the time they graduate," said Heather Dwyer, peer educator for the Metro Counseling Center. According to Rebekah Markheim, peer educator for the Metro Counseling Center, tobacco companies gear most of their advertising campaigns toward the college-aged demographic. "Tobacco companies heavily target the college population. Because they're no longer allowed to target the high schoo l population, they concentrate their efforts on college-aged kids," Markbeim said. "When people quit, the tobacco companies lose their smoking population." The CTP is also trying to stay away from scare tactics describing the negative health consequences of cigarette smoking by emphasizing that the majority of Metro's stu-

"We're trying to change the image of things," Markheim said. "Most students on campus choose not to smoke." "Jt's more of a positive approach than a negative one," Dwyer said. "The negative approaches to non-smoking campaigns never work." Metro students wishing to quit smoking have several resources on campus to help make the transition easier. The Metro Counseling Center, the Health Center of Auraria, the Campus Recreation Activities and the American Cancer Society can provide assistance. "There's help out here," Markbeiin said. "You just have to center yourself and deal with the stress." The CTP gives advice to prevent a relapse for students who recently stopped smoking. Some tips include spending time in
areas where smoking is prohibited, finding new habits, drinking lots of water and fruit juice and taking deep rhythmic breaths to relax. The Metro Counseling Center also offers hypnotherapy. Some of the benefits to quitting smoking include the reduced chance of suffering a heart attack, increased circulation, and the fact that risk of coronary heart disease is half that of a smoker. "You're immediately going to feel better," Markheim said. "You're going to breathe easier and taste and smell better." Students wishing to quit smoking can contact the MSCD Counseling Center for support. "This is good time of year to promote this," Dwyer said. " With the holidays and finals coming up stress tends to come up and people are more likely to smoke."

"MAKE
NO MISTAKE!"
The last thing out of his mouth
'
For the last two years, I've terrorized the newspaper staff at the Metropolitan by saying the first thing that came out of my mouth. I can truthfully say, I've enjoyed myself. Since this is my last editorial for the The Metropolitan, I've been given a green light to speak about anything I want. With that in mind, I' ll talk about serious stuff first and, then, just state my Walter opinion on other Gant things. The first thing I'll talk about is the recent elections. Maybe this isn 't for the best, but it could all be worse. We could easily have a government controlled by independents. The Republicans will definitely not take this opportunity lightly and they will get a lot of little amendments and all of their big agendas passed. Money will be slashed in the areas where we reall y need it like education. More weapons will be produced. More war's will be started. That's just what goes on. Crime usually escalates. If we're lucky something good will happen but I doubt it. The only thing I can do is tell people to spend their money wisely because it's about to get serious. Also Homeland security is in effect. It was before they passed the bill. The highways and borders tell the real story about what's going on. So to all listening don't do anything suspicious because now your neighbors are really in your business. The next issue I want to address is the state of the black man. Nothing makes me angrier than people saying that there are no good black men in this city. I have the privilege to say that there are a lot of black men on the campus and in the city that handle their business. Just because our pants hang and we don't kiss other people's butt's doesn't make us useless. I per-
sonally see myself as a positive black man and I've met brothers that are the same. On that note we have to combine more and really reach out to each other. I'm pretty sure that the blacks walking across that stage with me in a few weeks will be minimal compared to everybody else. We need to be each others' crutches and stop hating each other and ourselves. The next time you see a black man whether he's African or American, reach out-and discuss. They probably have the same struggles that you do. Black women, everything J just said applies to you also. The more of us here the more we can impact to get what we want across. Everybody else has their act together except us. Let's change that and make an impact the next couple of years. Now lets talk about sports. What happened to the Broncos? They are supposed to be the best team in ¡ the AFC. Now if the season ends tomorrow they wouldn't make the playoffs. That's not acceptable. Denver is a football city and when the Broncos suck it's just not as fun. I still predict them to win the championship or at least get to the Super Bowl. They are the best team in the AFC even when they don't play like it. Their opponent is toughe r to pick. The two most likely choices are Tampa Bay and Philadelphia. The choice is Tampa Bay strictly because of Jon Gruden. He was robbed last year with the oldest team in the league. This year he has a great defense and a offense that should start to peak in couple of weeks. Gruden is the most intense coach in the league and come playoff time the Buccaneers will rise. One final note. Is Michael Vick the best player in the league? He's only 22 and the Falcons don' t have a receiver that Dan Marino could hit. All he needs is a receiver and the league is his. Basketball is next on the agenda. The Lakers have looked like trash but the basketball season has a while to go. All you Dallas Mavericks fans put your porn porns down. You boys are out of there by the second round. Shaq will be healthy and Kol;>e will shine. The
Nuggets have already won more games than anybody predicted. That's great. We have played ourselves out of the Lebron James sweepstakes. That is unless lady luck loves us. The Nuggets decent start has to all be attributed toward coaching. Jeff Bzeldik is a great unknown coach and will one day go down as one of the greats. This team does the one thing that no one does they usually hustle. The Indiana Pacers are becoming the team they were supposed to be last year. That's a scary thing for the rest of the NBA. One final note, I can't wait for the Bulls to grow up. They are the next dynasty. Let's deviate from sports and go to music. No more 2Pac remakes. They all suck. The man hasn't been dead ten years and everybody steals his music. It's unethical. The next thing is with every thing said the best rappers alive are JayZ, Nas, and Scarface. Everyone else is at least a level below them. I don't like real hip hop for all you nerds that keep asking me. I like street music. The same rap I listen to now I listened to in the eighties and nineties. If you don't come with the truth then I don't like you. If I can't relate then I don't listen to it. I relate to everyday stuff not soft stuff. If you don't own that Scarface yet, then I probably shouldn't talk to you about rap music anyway. J want to acknowledge a few people and then I'm through. Everyone that talks to me but don't like me the feelings mutual. Thanks to Academic Advising for allowing to work there and not fire me for always being late. Thanks to Charles Angeletti and Richard Jackson for talking as well as listening to whatever I say and guiding me through my time at Metro. Also special thanks C.J. White and Dennis Green for also listening, especially Dr. White who always has a joke every time I'm late for class. Thanks also to the journalism department especially Ken and Deb you guys have helped my writing steadily improve every year. Holla at ya boy to all my people on campus. I'm on 16th and Fillmore if you're looking for me.
Brian P. Reed "My word' s but a whisper, your deafness a shout." -Jethro Tull I have arrived at a swell idea to stop the freakshows in the middle-east from other, forseeable, heinous acts. Let's convince the civilized world to give back the territory occupied by lsrael to the Middle East. I have numerous points to address my infallible logic (HA!). Wake up! Until I see an affidavit signed and notarized by GOD, Israel is not the promised land more than Montana, Idaho, the Dakotas and Minnesota. Let my approach be simplified and justified via thwarted logic. If not for petroleum, we, as a country, wouldn't give a crap about the middle east. These jerks killed innocent people. (At least we don' t identify innocent people and kill them.) They are wealthy because we are dependent on their only export (except sand). Let's vacate the region and let these heathens fend for themselves on their humpback camels. This is logical (for some) for at least three obvious reasons: First. Anyone living in the middle of a desert shouldn't complain about relocation. (How many times have you beard an advertisement from Sandals or Sun-Trips touting the bliss of visiting a desert while dodging bullets.) Who, in their right mind, would want to visit (let alone live) in this boiling cauldron of sexual disarray, uncircumsized-stance and small-minded thinkers? Second. We can save United Airlines. Let's use the failing airline to create a new "Exodus" to America. A huge convoy, of sorts, to relocate the less from the lesser. Hell, you can' t go fishing in the desert (let alone, be fisher ofmen), but you can catch a great Pike in Minnesota. This is a cerebral piece of cake. How couldn't a group of folks want to trade a life in the middle of hell, living amongst suicidal, car-bombing nut-cakes to the tranquility of a midwestern life? (lf they choose the former, we with minds can justifiably say, "Bye-Bye" or, for you ESL folks, " vaya con dios"). Third. Screw petroleum. We can save thousands of coastlines just by eradicating oil tankers. If we choose to utilize alternative choices of power, we can prevent oil-shipping tanker disasters. Now, this may irritate oil companies. But, if we are forced to utilize other energy sources, we are self-aggrandizing our desires. Pretty cool, huh! Let these peaceful decisions be the turning point for a bunch of heathens. By removing our Middle East interests, we will turn the region into something from which Mad Max. would cower. In addition to saving United Airlines, a reprise from war, an embracement for the environment and a big finger to the self-righteous followers of a warrior who sucked; we can truly understand, once again, why we hold our heads high and proudly announce ourselves as Americans. Let's face the truth. This paper will be out for everyone to read over the holiday season and well into the new year. I, like everyone else, won't get everything for which I asked. I will, however, hope that few are killed, my friends and family aren't killed, bad guys are killed and the innocent are spared. Let's hope, albeit Christmas, Hanukkah and Ramadan, for a sway-like, happy spirited season and next century. Don't tread on me!

What's in a name: changing mine Jennifer Blair is a newly transitioning male to female transsexual, who is a student at Metro and a budding writer. From time to time we will print her writings about her experience. If you have any feedback for Jennifer, please respond directly to Estrojenn@msn.com "The Name Game" The problem became apparent one day while writing a personal check at a local department Jennifer store. When asked for Blair some I-D, 1 did as 1 had done all of my life and handed the clerk my driver's license. As soon as that little piece of laminated plastic left my hand, I realized that I had a problem. The identification matched my check just fine, but the problem was that I didn't match the l.D. As a pre-operative transsexual woman, I had recently been exploring the real world as my true self. Caught up in the exhilaration of experiencing life in my chosen gender role, I had failed to anticipate this little problem. The clerk looked at the 4 year old photo of the guy with the "Marine Corps" hair cut and the "fuman-chu" and then looked at the woman standing in front of him. Ultimately, he mustered a weak smile and accepted my check. Although the solution was simple, the ramifications were significant. Changing one's l.D. is a fairly straight forward process, but the finality of legally changing my name from Michael to Jennifer terrified me. I had been taking my transition in small, carefully measured steps. r had made it a habit of giving careful and thorough consideration to the ramifications of each one of my decisions and would discuss each step at length with my therapist. Ultimately, however, it always comes down to taking a bit of a risk and a leap of faith. This was more than a little step. It was a quantum leap! By changing my name, I would be obligating myself to being Jennifer, 2417. lf I changed my name and subsequent l.D .. there could be no ambivalence about how my gender status. Mike would no longer exist! Unlike many of the phases of transitioning, there is no casing into this one. While 1 pondered the pluses and minuses, l began doing the research to see what was involved. Although the process has become a bit more complex, at that time it was absurdly simple. Bring some identification to a particular court room. fill out two very brief forms, stand before a judge and 30 minutes later and ''POOF" I would be known as Jennifer. I have found that a knowledgeable. compassionate psychotherapist is indispensable to a transitioning transsexual and this was about to be demonstrably proven. Here, in Colorado, it is possible to obtain a designation of "female" on one's driver's license (prior to sexual reassignment surgery) with the appropriate letter from your psychotherapist. I scheduled an appointment with my therapist who readily agreed that this was a timely and appropriate step in my journey. One hour and $80 later. I left her office with a letter instructing the State of Colorado to provide me with the requested designation. Now came the daunting task of addressing a lifetime of personal and legal documents that had to be changed. For every document that was successfully changed, two more came to mind. Between ATM cards, checking accounts, credit cards, Social Security, IRS, student l.D. car insurance, health insurance, dental insurance, homeowners insurance, mortgages, passport, health club, car titles,
vehicle registrations etc., it took me over three months to change everything. "Mike" was finally gone and "Jennifer" was here to stay. Along the way, a new dilemma presented itself. Although I had been living full time as Jennifer on Fridays and Saturdays, 1 was pretending to be a boy to satisfy the requirements of my part time job selling BMW's. My plan was to continue to refer to myself as Mike at work, for the interest of an ongoing, gainful employment. My employer was aware of my dual life, but up until now, was able to ignore the fact that I was transitioning. Ultimately, 1 knew that l had no choice but to tell human resources.
terribly wrong. It seems that when human resources changed my name in the company computer to print out paychecks with my new name, it changed my identity in the entire data base. She handed me a piece of paper to look at and the problem immediately became clear. Once a month, a new company-wide roster r along with extension numbers and employee names was printed and distributed to each and every employee. There, big as life and for all to see was my new name. This document was now in the hands of almost 200 employees! Everywhere I went there were little clusters of people in hushed conversations giving me "the look". One of my customers was in
Other than that regrettable little nightmare, life as Jennifer was wonderful. I found myself cashing checks for even small purchases. J found that this step in my journey had a profound effect in consolidating my sense of wholeness and perception of self. All and any remnants of my former self quickly faded into the past. The fears that I once had concerning which restroom to use were no longer valid. My drivers license would quickly resolve any disputes. I did encounter one very confused clerk at a clothing store one day. As I waited to try on some clothes one day, the attendant wasn't quite sure in which dressing room I

It seems that in a matter of hours I had gone from semi-stealth to in- your-face to the entire company. Ten weeks later, I was let go and no longer had to pretend to be a boy two days a week. I had to disclose my name change. The rumor mill had laid the groundwork for my visit to the company's business office, so the shock of my announcement was moderate. Barb, our HR person was great about the whole thing. I provided copies of all of the appropriate documents and explained what l was doing. This was the first time that she had been presented with such a request, but was more than happy to do the research and make the appropriate changes. l walked out of her office happy in the knowledge that this had turned out to be a non-event. Everything had gone so smoothly that I had completely forgot about it until 2 days later, when our receptionist, who is my friend and confidante, called me and told me that I had better come see her ASAP. I could tell from the tone of her voice that something was

To say that this made my employers uncomfortable would be an understatement. Ten weeks later, 1 was let go and no longer had to pretend to be a boy two days a week. After being let go.

"I'm terrible sorry, Ms. Blair," as she welcomed me in with the greatest of courtesy. All in all, legally changing my name turned out to be one of the best choices that l have made in my life.

have just been let in on a little-known consumer secret. Programs P07 and POI may sound like military fighter jets, but really they are extended warranties offered to select customers. Here's how it works: Ford Motor Company and the dealership front you a few dollars to help offset the cost of the repairs. You pay the difference. How do you qualify? If you have serviced your vehicle at their dealership, chances are you are a good candidate. This is where the paper trail comes into play. That massive Ford database will show your frequent service record. Gear beads, get out your service records and receipts. No paper trail, no receipts? You have a better chance of the engine spontaneously fixing itself than qualifying for these special programs. It also helps if you are a long standing Ford customer and have purchased other vehicles from the dealership. Bottom line, Ford wants to be confident that you have spent your dollars with them even after you have driven your car off the lot. Only then do they offer you the preferred customer programs. I learned quickly I was not the ideal candidate. Commerce City, CO. Two days later, Denver Used Truck Parts. Found used engine-40,000 miles on it.

Relax, take a big, dreamy â&#x20AC;˘
siesta With all the negative news about the United States lately, I have come to the conclusion that we need to implement a custom into our culture, like our friends south of the border. We need to have siestas. Yes, that is right I think that a lot of problems are caused simply by people's crankiness. I am not just talking about the occaJosh sional fit of road rage Pacheco or rudeness to the waiter. Whose to say that major conflicts couldn' t be avoided if our leaders would just take an hour or two in the middle of the day to lay down and take a nap? Take George W. Bush for instance; have you ever seen that guy? He looks like he needs a nap more than anyone, and, who knows, maybe it would make him come to his senses about Iraq? I think that Mexicans are geniuses for having this in their culture. Americans are notorious for consuming so much more natural resources than other cultures. This would definitely change if, in the middle of the day, every shop and business just shut down and took a rest for a little while. We would be forced to pace ourselves in our everyday lives. The argument could be made that this would just slow production of the worker. But, I think that if we were all awake, alert and happy, then we would be much more apt to work hard. I mean everybody has had those days when you wake up feeling like death, barely being able to keep your eyes open when you are driving to school or work. Lets face it America needs a nap! I know that there are those people out there that agree with me because at any given time on any day you can walk into the Tivoli and all you see is people lying about, snoring and curled up into a ball, trying to catch a little more shut eye. We, students, need this more than anyone Teachers would love this because they would never have to put up with students falling asleep in class again. There we have it, a sound argument for more sleep time in America today. With so many potential problems solved, how could anyone argue against it? This, potentially, could save the free world ,someday. So, how about it? Should we start petitioning to put a siesta amendment on the next election ballot? I think so.

Dr. Price finds home in Colorado Math professor interested in numbers since high school, was inspired by his math teacher by Jonathan Kuenne The Metropolitan
. .L..
Art Price, a Metro math professor, says that he wouldn't go back to Florida if someone paid him. Price was born in New York City in the Bronx. "I lived in the Bronx until I wasl 1 or 12," Price said. "Then we moved out to the suburbs." He was raised and attended high school in Westchester County in a town called Dobbsferry. "Our high school graduating class was no more than 70 students," Price said. Dr. Price was inspired in high school by his math teacher Glen Polly. "He inspired me to continue with mathematics in college." Art he was also greatly inspired by a professor named George Habetler. He says that George inspired him by the way he taught. He said that he made it look like he could do it for the rest of his life. Price has always been interested in math. " I remember it all through high school," he said. After high school Price went on to further his education at Rensselaer Poly Tech Institute. He earned his bachelors in mathematics as an applied mathematician. "My doctoral work was in applied non-linear optimization," Price said during an interview last Tuesday. At R.P.l. Price was not only very involved in his college fraternity but was the president. "I had a lot of
good memories in college," he said, "mostly non-academic." "After 1 graduated I went to teach at the University of South Florida as an assistant professor in mathematics. Price spent six years at the University of Florida. "After that 1 went into the industry and did a little part time teaching - where I fust started teaching statistics." If you ever take Price for a statistics course you would think that he has been teaching it for years. However, ironically, he first started teaching statistics over 30 years ago and has not even taken a statistics course himself. He has used his knowledge professionally and has a great ability to apply it and teach it in a very effective manner. Price began to work for a company in Florida named E Systems. "I really stopped being a mathematician and became a software engineer". Price made the transition from being a mathematician to working as a software engineer. "My initial work at E Systems was mathrelated. We studied the behavior of communications and how systems behaved. As I was there it became more interesting to learn about
software, how people work together in teams and how they measure the quality. That just became more fun than anything else." Price would work as a software engineer work for the next 25 years. Dr. Price came to Colorado in 1981 to Bell Laboratories. At Bell, Price was initially a software test engineer - testing software systems. " I spent the majority of the years as a quaI-

After 25 years I had the concern if it would still be fun but for me but it still is." This is Art's first semester here at Metro and he is currently teaching part-time. When Dr. Price decided it was time to leave Florida he looked particularly at Colorado. He says that he couldn't find any locations better than Colorado. "To find a prestigious corporation like Bell here in Colorado was the greatest - to get a job in a place I loved was amazing," Price said. Art likes to snowshoe with his wife. He also enjoys cross country skiing, and racquet-

After 25 years I had the concern if it would still be fun but for me but it still is.' - Art Price, Metro math professor ity processing engineer. We spent a lot of time trying to keep up how the industry was doing and bringing it back into our own company." Price considers his greatest accomplishment to be able to work for a prestigious corporation as Bell; also to succeed and to become a distinguished member of the staff. Price retired from Bell Laboratories in
ball. Dr. Price is particularly not fond of Florida. He said that when he moved to Colorado he liked the weather so much that he found no reason to return to Florida. Price will be teaching mathematics next semester here at Metro part time. If you need to take any math class, I would highly recommend Dr. Price.

From theater to dance, something for everyone over winter break by Jonelle Wilkinson-Seitz The Metropolitan Following Gov. Owens' recent budget cuts for the arts, Colorado is now 50th in the country for per capita arts funding. Winter break is an appropriate time to show support for the arts and get a healthy dose of culture by attending a performance, concert or gallery opening. The fo llowing is List containing just a smattering of theater and dance performances in December.

Studying abroad aboard by Annando Manzanares TheMetropolitan Normally when referring to studying abroad, what comes to mi.nd is relocating to a different country for a semester, perhaps -l~ing with a host family and studying that one country or culture for that semester. A unique version of studying abroad has been around since 1963. Semester At Sea is a program offered through the University of Pittsburgh and involves embarking on a 100-day trip around the globe while aboard a floating university, the S.S. ~verse Explorer. The Institute of Shipboard Education administers this program while the academic responsibility lies with the university. The program offers trips year-round. It takes around 600 undergraduate students duri ng the fall and spring semesters from colleges and universities from both the United States and abroad. Each semester has a different itinerary including visiting at least SJwen different countries along the journey. This floating university offers an array of undergraduate courses ranging from biology to geography to business to political science courses. There is even a photography course offered. Any given semester, students can choose from about 70 courses in the fa ll or spring and about 30 duri ng the summer, both l째'-wer and upper division. All courses are offered through the COiiege of Arts and Sciences at the University of Pittsburgh. Classes meet daily while at sea, providi ng classroom contact as on a traditional land campus. Classes average from 20 to 30 students and are conducted with emphasis on maximum student involvement. The requi red student load during the 100-day fa ll or spring semester is 12 credit hours. For the 65-day summer pro~am, the required course load is 9 credits. The program prides itself with the faculty it provides and the student-faculty interaction that is considerably more than that of a regular land campus. Most faculty are required to have resident experience in countries on the Fall 2002 itinerary.

The course director orchestrates the resources of faculty on board, as well as interport lecturers who join the voyage en route and bring specific expertise in a particular country or region. The course particularly seeks to reveal the complexity, dynamics and interdependency of existing global systems. This program is roughly that of one year's tuition if attending a private college or university. The cost ranges from the mid$1 4,000 to mid-$1 5,000 range. There is a required $ 1000 deposit once admitted to the program to reserve your spot on the ship. Lastl y, to begin this whole process, there is a one-time application fee of $30. Living arrangements will also determine the amount of money you pay for the program. There are cabins that are either double or triple occupancy with entrances from the outside with a porthole, or the regular in-door entry. Rates are per person and include tuition, room and board only. Every other expense encountered, including travel to and from the ports you enter and leave, textbooks, in-country trave l, as well as personal spending money, is additional. Financial aid is offered as normally would be on a land campus but there are additional avenues for receiving financial aid special for the Semester At Sea participant that are separate to that of standard forms of aid (e.g. Pell Grants).

rilmless festival a first for Metro .....
by Ian Neligh The Metropolitan
The Aperture Society, a student activity group, put on Metro's first fi lm festival, The Rocky Mountain Filmless Film Festival, whi ch consisted of a collection of short digital movies showcasing the talent of several Auraria students. " Some of the instructors were trying to find a venue for students to get their work out there, sort of like an art show," ~aid Natalie Moore, Metro student and president of the Aperture Society. "Digital media does not have a venue to do that, and so we were try ing to provide that for them." The Aperture Soci ety was founded last spring by stude nts with educational interests lying primari ly in photography and the fine arts. ,. " They came in and said that they wanted to pu~ on the Filmless Film Festival to get more exposure for the artists here at Metro," said Sonya Luna, a student organization accountant with the Student Activities office. "They had heard about the Club Funding Committee, which is a fund that is set up through the Student Activities office here at Metro that will allocate up to $3500 per school
p
year to each student organization to help them put on events." The Club Funding Committee gives money to events on campus that are agreed to be academically and culturally enhancing for the students on campus. "(The Aperture Society) told the committee about the event and how it would benefit the students of Metro and how it would really help the art students," said Luna. ''The committee decides whether or not they feel its beneficial and worthy of the funds, and we thought this was." The artistic vision of the filmless films shown at the festival took on a variety of unique themes, ranging from the incredibly psychedelic to a short about a constipated Santa Claus. Inspiration for these artistic pieces came from many different sources as there were students involved with the project. "I was actually on a trip to the society of photographic education conference, which was in Los Vegas last year," said Moore, who is also the director of the short film Domestic Porn. "The art institute of Chicago has a pornographic class to learn how to make porn. I went to the lecture and saw what
they made, and I thought that I could do something better. So my inspiration was bad porn," she said. Some of the subjects breached in the shorts also took on some of the more sobering aspects of artistic expression. Christine Gabrielle Graziano, one of the founding members of The Aperture Society and director of Mother of My Mother, found the inspiration for her film from the grief caused by her grandmother's death. Graziano said that it look six weeks to finish , with the first cut followed by periodic editing that she did on her computer. "This is the first time this has ever happened," Moore said. "Auraria campus has never had a student film festival. We would like to continue to do this, whether it is the group or the department. I think it needs to continue, and hopefully we just kind of sparked the fire and more students see what's possible," she said. The Aperture Soc iety is currently looking fo r anyone interested in working with the group. Anyone interested in finding out more about the group or any activities they have planned can email Natalie Moore at natsplat@attglobal.net.

·Happiness was shared by the Metro fans that came, hugs were given to anyone who supported them and shortly after that dozens of phone calls were made on cell phones to family and friends who weren't able to attend. These were just some of the memorable events after the ninth-ranked Metro women's soccer team defeated University of California-Davis 1-0 off a late Amy Leichliter goal in a Elite Eight match at Auraria Field. The Roadrunners continue their improbable push to the top after only winning six games last season. Next stop in the NCAA Division 11 National Tournament is the Final Four in Virginia Beach. When asked about the game-winning goal Josyln Brough, who assisted on the play, said, "The only thing that I saw was Amy wide open at the top of the box. I've never seen somebody so wide open in my entire life." The game was supposed to heavily favor the Roadrunners, not only because of home-field
advantage but more because they are immune to the Colorado cold, while No. 16 UC-Davis, from Northern California, spends most of its time under the sun. But the Aggies seemed to adjust immediately to the freezing temperatures as they came out flying at the Roadrunners' defense getting off 5 of their 14 shots off in the first half. The attacks by UC-Davis put great strain on the Roadrunners early. But just like they did against Central Oklahoma to win the Midwest Regional Championship and West Texas A&M in the first round, midfielders Jodi McGann and Megan Shivers along with defenders Kristen Nason and Colleen Fellin-<lubbed the "Five-Star Defense"withstood the pressure. Both teams entered the half with nothing showing on the scoreboard. The back and forth play in the middle of the field after the Aggies initial pressure made the game drag on. The second half came and the suspense began with more of the same bandied play. Both sides exchanged early opportunities, then the battle at midfield started again with a good deal of time spent inside the neutral zone. Finally, it happened.
With about 20 minutes left in the game, the Roadrunners applied the pressure on the Aggies and kept applying it until UC-Davis made one fatal mistake when Brough passed the ball through a double team to a wide-open Leichliter, who scored the game's first and only goal. The goal came With 3:02 left on the clock and was Leichliter's-the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Freshman of the Year-team leading 20th goal and sixth gamewinning goal. But Metro had to stave off one more UC-Davis attack when the Aggies launched the ball inside the goal box. Metro goalkeeper Mandy Allen dove for the ball, but didn't come up with it, leaving the goal vacant The Aggies, though, never got a shot off as the Roadrunners cleared the ball and hung on for a reserved plane trip to VITginia Beach.

~Allen
a stonewall between the pipes
by RamiWilder TheMetropolitan It was 14 minutes into the game against the University of California-Davis and freshman Metro goalkeeper Mandy Allen °'already has come with two key saves. The Aggies (11-7-3) had the ball and played a beautiful cross into defender Shannon Mally, who stood unmarked in front of the Roadrunners' goal. Mally timed her header perfectly and sent a ball arching towards the netting, hoping to put her team ahead. But Allen had a good angle on the ball and jumped left, fully extend-fag her body and made a diving save to keep the match scoreless. Keeping the Aggies scoreless was everything the Metro women's soccer team hoped to do on a day when temperatures were in the low 20's and soccer balls were bouncing around like frozen hockey pucks. In the end, the solid defense of the Roadrunnersanchored by Allen in goal along with defensive stalwarts Colleen Fellin and Meghan Shivers-kept Metro in it until Amy Leichliter's late goal put them ahead 1-0 with just over three minutes left. Mandy According to Allen, the last few minAllen utes of the game felt like an eternity. Thanks in part to Allen's eight saves and 12th shutout of the season against UC-Davis, the Roadrunners are still alive in the NCAA Division II world. Only four teams remain and the Roadrunners play their next game on Dec. 6 at the Virginia Beach Soccerplex against No. 2 Christian Brothers University. "It's going to be a long week and a half," Allen said after the ~Nov. 24 Elite Eight match against UC-Davis, while referring to the long break until they would play again. Allen's 12 shutouts are a Metro single-season record and leave her tied for third on the Roadrunners' all-time career shutout list. Her impressive 0.50 goals-against average this year would be a Roadrunners' single-season record if the season ended today. And it would place her on top of the all-time career list at Metro ~i f her career finished today. Her 16 wins are already fifth on the all-time list. Fortunately, Allen plans to win two more games and probably will spend three more years as Metro's starting goalie. If success keeps coming, she'll rewrite the record book with her name. But no one should overlook the tough defense from the Roadrunners' back players and Metro head coach Danny Sanchez .._acknowledged the hard work of the entire defensive unit in helping the team advance to the Final Four of the NCAA Division II Women's Soccer Tournament.

by Joshua Lawton - The Metropolitan UC-Davis goalie Christine Ogden punches the ball away from Metro's Kristin Nason off of a comer kick Nov. 24 at Auraria Field. ''Mandy was solid, the whole defense was solid," Sanchez said. "This is a very good UC-Davis team. (UC-Davis) had limited opportunities but when they did get opportunities Mandy was able to get the saves." Allen came up big again in the second half. She was slightly injured when the Aggies' Amanda Medrano collided with her as they both slid for a loose ball. Allen brushed off the incident as she headed to the bench with a slight limp after the game. "It was just a slide tackle. It was no problem. I'll be fine," Allen said. The UC-Davis crowd was out in force at the Auraria Field, but Allen gave them little to be excited about as she handled anything the Aggies sent her way. One UC-Davis shot-on-goal deflected awkwardly off a player's leg, but Allen made the save without allowing a second-chance opportunity. The one time Allen came
off her line and failed to make the save, her defense was right there to quickly clear the ball. Allen was also unafraid to get involved in a good old-fashioned rugby scrum.With only three minutes left and Metro up 1-0 on Leichliter's 20th goal of the year- her sixth game winning shot- the ball bounced around dangerously in front of the Roadrunners' goal. Allen dove right into the middle of the kicking legs of Metro defenders and desperate Aggie goal scorers. The ball seemingly could have ended up anywhere, more specifically in the back of the net, but somehow it squirted out and away from the Metro goal. Allen's 12 shutouts this season are an impressive number and a large factor in the team's success. Going into the Final Four, the Metro offense should be confident knowing that its defense is going to give them every opportunity to win it all.
. .Metro faces amazing scorers in Final Four by Donald Smith
The Metropolitan The ninth-ranked Metro women's soccer team again showed their resilience in its 1-0 defeat of University of California-Davis & Nov. 24 at Auraria Field. They were out shot this time 14-7 in the match, but just as Metro has done consistently this season, they made every shot count as three of the seven were on goal and one went to the back of the net. They is no doubt that they earned the right to play for the National Title. They'll face second-ranked Christian Brothers . University in the semifinals Dec. 6 at 7:30 EST, 5:30 MT. • Mandy Allen has been tested this playoff season, facing 26 total shots in the national tournament and has stopped all but one. "All you have to do is prepare," Allen said. "You prepare to stop 100 shots, if you don't get any you're lucky." In just her first year as a starter, Allen and the defenders in front of her have helped this team get this far and they will have maybe .,.. the greatest impact on the team winning its fl!St national championship. "It's a very exciting feeling, but on the other hand it makes you very nervous," Allen responded on being asked about appearing in the Final Four in just her freshman year. Going into the semifinal game, Allen and the Roadrunners will face their biggest challenge in Buccaneer strikers senior Missy . . Gregg (61 goals, 6 assist) and junior Margaret Saurin (20 goals, 34 assist), who lead the 23- 1 squad as they look to end the Roadrunners' season early. Gregg broke her national record of six goals in one game when she scored seven in a ridiculous 21 -0 win over Millsaps College at the beginning of the year. Gregg, an All-American, also holds the
Division II national record for goals in a season with 73. The Buccaneers have scored 10 goals in their last three games while only allowing two. They beat No. 14 West Florida 5-0 nothing in the first round, No. 5 Barry University 2-1 in the round of 16 and No. 18 North Florida 3-1 to reach the Final Four. As a team they average nearly five goals a game. They've dominated in most of their offensive numbers with the most impressive being their goalsshots statitics: 120 goals on 605 shots while only allowing 14 goals off 13 7 shots, a scoring ratio a little over 8-to-1. But the Roadrunners (19-2-3) have an advantage as well. They have a stronger player in net. Allen has a 0.50 goals-against average while the Buccaneers' Jennifer Simon has a 0.66 goals-against average. The Roadrunners have in a since played soccer as if they were fighting on the playground. Though they've been out shot in the tournament and have played harrowing close to the ropes, Metro has been good at throwing the knock-out punch. T hey might be facing a strong offense, but Christian Brothers will be facing a very efficient defense in return. "We feel good, we feel confident we can play with this team and whatever happens, happens," junior Joslyn Brough said. "We're looking for a national championship now that we're in the Final Four." The winner of this game will face the winner of the NebraskaOmaha (21-0) and No. 4 Franklin Pierce College (18-0-2) match. No. 3 Nebraska-Omaha knocked off the top-ranked team in Northern Kentucky to earn a trip to the Final Four. Northern Kentucky was the only team the Buccaneers lost to all season. Of course, none of the matters now. ' "I am excited!" Elin Otter said. "First of all it's Virginia Beach, then to represent Metro is a great feeling!" But with snow expected on the East Coast, Vrrginia Beach will seem more like the Frozen Four.
