AurariaBoard debatesconcealed weaponson campus

by JearrcttePorrazzo TheMetrcplitet

The Auraria Board held an open forum Wednesday, August 20 at 7:30 a.m. lo vote on changingthe policy for carrying handgunsand other weaponson the Auraria Campus.

The curent policy statesthat no student is allowed to be in possession of an illegal weaponon campusbut ther.e is no mention of personswith a permit to carry. The board met to discussthe new gun laws passedby the state govemment,which went into effect earlier this year.

The new Coloradogun laws statethal only personswith a certified handgunor concealed weapons permit can carry their registered weaponanywherein the stateincluding school campusessuchasAuraria. But the boardwants to changethat to not allorv evenpersonswith a permit to carry a weaponon campus.

The board will make its decision, then form a committeewith faculty and staff fiom the three schoolsto decidehow the new policieswill be enforced.

At press time, the board's decision was unknown.

If approved the new campuslaw would go in effect immediatelyfollowing the meeting.

Officials will enforcethe new law by distibuting the information throughoutthe institutions then on to the different departmenls.They will also be searchingstud€nts,but only if there is probablecauseto do so. Therewill be no mass searchesfor weaponsand no checkpointswill be set up on campus.

According to Mce President of AdministrationDeanWolf, boardmembersfeel that, becauseof the recent law passedby the state,the campusnow needsto passa new law banningconcealedweapooson campus.

"The reasonfor this ib our concem about the generalwelfare and safety of the snrdents, faculty, and staff on campus,"he said. "I sup port the recommendationand it only makes good sense."

More or less.the law will be a reaffrmation of existingpolicies at eachinstitution.

"I don't think it's a big deal," Wolf said.

Attorney General SpokesmanKen Lane had no comment concerning the Auraria 'Board's meeting but added "The state is currently in litigations dsfsndingths new weapons laws that we recentlyput into place."

Chris Colelli, owner of Lexington Arms and Supply, said he feels the university shouldn't have the power to changethe laws setby the state.

"I'm pleasedby the two new laws that were passedby the state:the CCW law and the Local Preemptioq"he said."The boardis taking a positionthat is very commonamongthose who don't like guns."

Auctioncleansout Boiler Roomleftovers Bidson formerbar topped$12,000 byJermiGrubbB TheMefropolitan An auction was held Aug. 18 at I I a.m. by the Colorado Department ofRevenue to sell all of the contents of The Boiler Room to alleviate overdue taxes.

The exact total take of the auction was nol available at press time, according to Tivoli Finance Manager Dave Caldwell, becausenot every pa)'rnent has been received and it hasn't been completely tallied, but several preliminary bids to buy the whole kit and caboodle were at and above $12,000, according to several bidders.

Those bidders said they thought the auction probably exceeded those bids in take, but the property was sold in pieces rather than all at once, The buyers claimed and removed the items on Aug. 19 as Dickensheet and Associates Auctioneers representative Kenny Bryant watched and oversaw.

"Every bar iten was sold," Bryant said.

"Everything that was allov/ed to be sold, sold."

Roos is the owner of Roosters. a bar in Broomfield.

He bought most of the fumrture, including the bar stools, chai6, tables, kitchen equipment and even the leftover condiments like ketchup and mustard. It was the tables he was excited about finding.

"The bases of the tables are antiques and are worth a fortune," he said.

Roos said he has many memories of The Boiler Room from college and wanted to bring that feeling back to his bar. He said he plans to sandblast and refinish the tables and add them to Roosters.

"Everything in this place will be recycled," Roos said.

He said he bid by phone, piece by piece to get what he wanted. He had initially bid around $12,500 on the whole place, but the bid was rejected.

He said that, buying in pieces, he probably bought about 20 percent of what was offered. but he bought a lot of the big stuff.

Faculty said they believe that the RIF policy allows termination of tenured faculty. The RIF policy would only be used if all other means ofgetting funds for the college were exhausted.

Cuning highly-paid tenure faculty would be more economically intelligent than cutting part-time faculty, ifneeded. Anew contract was written up, stating that if a faculty member signs this new contract they are, in effect, accepting this handbook, which destroystenure.

tomLEGALon3He explainedthat he and Ott had put a lot of work into the development of SLS, and their employeeswere also peoplewho relied on the office for academicpurposesand life experience.

He also said they felt it was imporlant for Auaria to have a servicefor studentswho needlegalcounselingandcannotafford to seek it elsewhere.

Safford and Ott said they proposedseveral altemativesto Raforth and Morehouseand waysfor the officeto remainopenwithoutviolating client confidentiality.

They said Raforth told them the altematives werenot acceptablebecauseRataj did not seeanyway it couldwork.

"That was the fint sign that the school wasn'tgoingto helpus," Saffordsaid.

The office remainedclosedfor the entire monthof May, and into early June.

At that point, SaffordandOtt hired Fraley to representthem.

According to Cathy Lucas, Director oI CollegeCommunications, theofficecloseddue to a personnelissuethat resultedin an investigationRatajresignedfrom his positionJune11 during the investigation,and Metro considered the matterto be closed.

Lucasalsosaidthe decisionto closeSLS for fall semesterwas made due to the loss of the director,and left with only a part-timestaff, the college did not feel it could run a quality program.

SLS was a serviceprovided for students from all threeinstitutionsat Auraria, which offeredlegaladviceandcounselingfiee ofcharge becausethe servicesare paid for with student fees.

However, they provided no iegal representatron.

The services\4'ererestrictedto students enrolledat any of the threeschools.

Sincethe majority of studentsat Auraria attendMetro (20,300cunentlyenrolledfor the fall semester),the SLS programwas mainly funded by Metro shrdent fees and therefore more Meto studentswill be affected by the closingof the office.

LucassaidRaforthwill be meetingwith the StudentGovernmentAssembly(SGA) and Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board (SACAB) in the next couple of weeks to get their recommendationsand determine alternativeways studentscan still receive free legaladviceandcounseling.

Lucas also said the office, located in Tivoli room 219, will be usedto houseall the SLSfilesuntil Jan.31,thedeadlinefor shldents who usedthe servicein the pastto pick up their files or subrnitwritten authorizationfor the files to be transferredto a different attomey.

Any files that are unclaimed will be shredded.

The Auraria Higher Education Center (AHEC) and SACAB will determinefuture use of the office soaceafter Jan.3 I .

The money for the new fitness cenler came

nesscenter in regard to the budget problems three schoolsface.

The total cost of the remodel for the auxiliary gym to be renovated into a new fitness centerwas $227.139.

Feuerbom said the rest ofthe money went toward the renovation ofthe racquetballcourts which cost $160,850.

In order to make the new fitness center possible, campus recreationhad to do a lot of remodeling that did not pertain directly o the auxiliary gym.

The Events Center had eight racquetball courts, but the use ofthe courts had declined over the past severalyears and was being used for classesand gymnastics,Price said.

"We felt like the racquetball space was the most dead spacein the facility," Price said.

The racquetball courts were connected, but walls separatedthem.

The renovation money was used to tear down the walls to make one big room, along with patching the floors.

The former courts will now be used for aerobics,additional r'eight training and gymnastics.

The new fitness center has more windows than the previous one, and Price said students have given him positive feedbackon hou'the windows give the gym a more comfortable feel. "l love it. It's really nice," said Metro junior, Ana Lugo.

Many studentsdid not utilize the old fitness center because of the lack of space and equipment,Hanke said.

She also said, "A lot of people got very intimidated and didn't want to start their workout there."

She said the new filress center has several new attractions that snrdents will like, such as six TV's with \{HS and DVD capabilities and FM stations that students can tune to as long as they bring their owl radio with them.

Mirrors line the walls of the gym, which Price said is a feature many students rave about.

Price said he is very excited about all the features the new frtness center offers students and is confident it will continue to be a success in the fall semester.

Bjork, goddess of trance

To peeor not to pee

inducing musrc Lindsay Sandham The Metropolitan OK, so this may be a little biased since I've been a huge Bjork fan since her first album, "Debut", but after seeing her at Red Rocks, Aug. 18, I'm convinced that she is, indeed, a goddess.

Wil Oldham, a.k.a "Bonnie Prince Billy," opened the show and barely held a candle to an inspiring performance by the Icelandic music diva.

Bjork, accompaniedby an orchestra and a big, beautiful harp, captured the audiencefrom the moment she set foot on stage! decked in white heels,black leggings,an outrageousblack tutu, and a sequinedblack top with large green ruffles covering her left shoulder.

Hopping around on stage like the freaky chick she is, the audiencewas hypnotized from the opening song to the encore.

At one point, I looked around and discovered a sea of emotional faces, people crying, girls shoutingtheir love for Bjork and as always, at any concert, a lot of really drunk people.

I was in a hypnotic trance throughout the entire performance, and I refused to even let myself go to the bathroom for fear of missing anything.

As much as I enjoyed watching the performance, I equally enjoyed closilg my eyes, for then I could have been anywhere; on a gondola in a sea of Iceland-white clouds, under a palm tree on a deserted island, or even at the edge where reality meets;magination.

Having been sucha huge fan for such a long time, every song evoked different memories of different times in my life, and by the end of the shou. I had explored the entire gamut of emotions.

I got the feeling this was much the case for several other concefi-goers:the girl next to me sobbed for almost the entire show as she sang along with all her favorites, and I saw a grown man with his head in his hands as she chanted the emotionally-stining lyrics to "Pagan Poetry".

To top it all off. several numbers included flames and fireworks on-stage, along with an amazingdisplayof stageIights.

The only complaint I could possibly have was that the show was much too short, yet I can only imagine the toll it must take on her, belting out inspirational lyrics in an all-encompassing vocal range.

I overheard a variety of attitudes about the concen, but the general perception was, "That was the most amazing show I've ever seen", Granted, almost any show at Red Rocks is awe-inspiring, but this one takes the cake for me and is officially The Best Conced I've Ever Seen.

Have an opinion?

Help us help you.

'lt's a right to self-defense'theysay ftomCONCEALEDon 12 to see if the permit you got in California is allowed here (it's not. but it's a go if you're from Kentucky).

This Wednesday.theAuraria Board will vote to either permit the permit or ban all weapons entirely. I just don't understandwhy one would feel the needto bring a gun onto campus. Have you seen the angry student who didn't get the good? Or the teacher that can't seem to take control of their class? Not to mention the level of stress this campus has during finals week.

The human element combined with bullets does not bode well.

Whatever happenedto my right to feel safe?

I don't want to sit three chairs away from a studentwith a gun. Nor do I want to talk about my grades with a professor who has a loaded gun. Some businesses,like Colorado Mills mall and Six Flags at Elitch Gardens, have posted NO FIREARMS signs only to be boycotted by a local pro-gun \a'ebsite that has posted the names of businesseswith no-gun policies and encourages people to take their business elsewhere.

this policy on campus.

What's a person to do when walking alone at night on a college campus? Well, you call Nightrider, through the campus police or the Parking department. The Nightrider service runs Monday through Friday until l0 at night.

They provide an escort service and scheduled pickup to the parking garage, the bus or the lighrrail. The sen'ice requires no permit, only a studentID. To all you pistol-packin'. gun-totin'

would be safer if law-abiding citizens could carqi guns, "It's a right to self-defense," they say. But let's look Iong and hard at accepting

"There are a lot ofstudents here who like healthy food, and that's our advantage."

Pete's Arena, owned and managed by Sodex ho campus services, made their home at the former residence ofthe B-

movie Caf6, also in the Tivoli, and offers pizza-bythe-slice. as well asby-the-pie.

Sandra Weber, GeneralManager of Sodexho, here on campus said that Sodex ho saw that Auraria had no food vender providing pizza and so took the opportunity to launch their pizza franchiseconcept.

The franchise caters exclusiYelyto collegecampuses.

"We put in a bid for the space with Pete'sArena, which is our retail concept," Weber said. "There are six or seven other Pete's on college campuses,mainly on the eastcoast."

A midsummer's ni ghtmo?e the ever-waiting wind.

This is an unusualstory but you'd be hardpressedto find anyonewho'd saythatwe aren't living in unusual times. I have a friend with whom I've been in sporadic correspondence since he left the Texas desert for the one in Iraq.

He hasagreedto relatehis storyfor thereadersof TheMetropoliran as it unfolds in front of him. He has formd himself in the middle of a war that few will understandand even fewer will admitis still waged.At timesI haveknown him to be wildly patriotic - he hasbeenin two branches ofthe armedservice- but because of the natureofhis predicamenlhe wishesfor the time to remainnameless.

This is part sevenof a seriesof storiesattempting to illustrate a cross-sectionof this conflict. He has found himself, like so many otherAmericansbeforehim, waiting for a ticket home.

Jan Neligh

For each face, I saw a stone thrown through at a Humvees windshield; for every thurnbs-up, I saw an RPG and tracersin the night; for every smile, I saw a torhlred P.O.W retum home with trauma-inducedamnesia."

As they neared a town, he tried to quite his mind, but adrenalin began pouring through his veins. Their convoy turned dom the wrong street into an unfamiliar area. He raised his M203 (an M16 assaultrifle with a 40 millimeters grenade launcher attached to the bottom) and tried to seeeverything at once.

The frequency of the attacks is up too. I think we've been mortared, like, 5 times this week. None of 'em got close to me, but still....

Tonight, like many others,I sat helplessly,listening to the command net.

After a tenseperiod, the convoy was back on the right path. No attack had come.

I heard a soldier die.

"We reached our destination, dropped our cargo, grabbed more Humvees in need of escort, stole some casesof Juicy Juice from the Air Force, and headedback.

"You see, to get anywhere on the ground in this place requires three Humvees, two of which are to be loaded with four-man security teams.

Then one hot moming, when he was still in a state of sleep-deprived delirium, one of his teammatesasked if he was interested in going out mto the hot streetsofIraq on a mission.

And it makes sense, since I've got the shits and things have heated up here considerably.

Yeah, the attacks on the coalition forces have been more frequent and much more organized for about a week now. It's been causing more casualtiesper attack too. Used to be, they'd hit a convoy or a pafol and do little-to-no damage, but lately we've been taking actual K.LA.'s."

He also had us put signs on the Port-OJohns we have here, stating, 'landalism will not be tolerated".

So, you can defacea million dollar palace of historical significance, but you can't draw a peckerin thejohn.

The CG also had our guys build an overhead cover for his (Port-O-John) because they were getting too hot in the sun.

So the guys who have to (use the bathroom) in the blazing heat of an unprotected Port-OJohn, risking serious.heatstroke, now have to toil under that same blistering heat to erect a shade over the Generals (toilet) 'cause he's too hot when he poops.

Best thing is the (unit) patches,though. They're eveqrwhere- Like we're gonaa forget what unit we're in, or something. But, we already wear them on our left shouldersand our Helrnets.

No lie.

And most of them are being put up over some sort of Arabic writing.

So readily I agreed,and, sweating with the effon of getting my gear on that hot, balmy, kaqi moming, I raced to meet an unknown fate.

The teams were lacking on this day in particular, and this man was asking if I would fill in. He didn't tell me I had to go; it was an option, and he knew I'd had no sleep the night before, so he wasn't doing me any favors. He eamsstly felt like I should go, and that I would be an assetto the team. This appealedto my ego, which is rather healthy, to say the least.

this summer.

Accordingto the programnotes,the artists, who hail from New York, San Francisco and St. Louis, collaboratedon nearly everything:Script,designs. musicandacting.

The play is surprisingly cohesive (I suppose being alone together in the desert helped) considering it was a group effort and written, presumably, without the support of aids like coffee or the Internet.

Howeveq the program reveals that they did have beer, which could account for elements such as the wonderfully personified pig, the shoddy bird puppets made of umbrellas and the ridiculous clock-making dance (although I would not be surprised ifa substanceother than alcohol was involved here).

The play opens on a man working in a laboratory as a turtle scoots across the stage in iront of him. The man is Karel Hoennikker, a DNA scientist. The turtle (Sophie Nimmannit), like the rest of the menagerie that appears throughout the play, seemsto be there to remind us that the world extends beyond the self-torment ofthe human characters.

Soon it is revealed that Karel is dead and his daughter,Zeke, has been left with a burdening choice: If she releasesthe virus in the vial Karel has left her, 98 percent of the human population will die.

She wears the vial around her neck and broods around her small town, painting, writing and drinking. Elizabeth Watt. who also played Karel, well portrays the stubbom, lonely Zeke.

Zeke's downward spiral is intemrpted when Judas Castle Q,,lathaniel Schenklcan) comes into town and invites her to come aboard his boat and sail to a faraway jungle where his father supposedlyowns a hospital.

Zeke and Judas seem to click, both being in fear of and concemed for humaniry, so Zeke accepts. Once on the boat, they altemate strangely between rash, ugly argumentsand anguished camaraderie.

Simply put, they are spoiled children who take themselves far too seriously. The dance mentioned earlier occurs on the boat as Judas shows Zeke the large clock he is making.

In reference to the idea of a creator who set up the world's gearsand then left it to run on its own, the campersseemto be trying to tell us here that Judas seesthe importance of his own decisions in such largess.

Whatever the symbolism, the frantic dance that occurs out of nowhere and includes many badly-mimed twists of imagined bolts with a real wrench (I suppose there are no wrenches to practice with in the desert) is laughable.

For a while, Zeke keeps the contents of the vial around her neck a secret. When she finally does tell Judas,he decides that he, Zeke and Ishmael, the fabulous pig Zeke has adopted along the way (played by Lear deBessonet). should disembark and wander through the rainforest for awhile.

Once they have paid $500 to a bureaucrat who controls entry to the forest, Judas takes

BecauseSupematural doesnot have the same popularity as, say, Jane's Addiction, he was scheduledto performon the secondstage.But this did not discourageSupernatural;he still put on an amazing show. One of the things that made Supematuralstandout was his signature rap. In this particular rap, Supematural asks the audience to hold up random items, and then he comes down into the audience and makes up a rap, on the spot, about the things people are holding up. He found a way to rhyme about everything from keys to water guns.

MC Supernatural was not the only rap act at Lollapalooza. The rap group Jurassic 5 was also on the bill, but they played on the main stage.Jurassic 5 is one of the founding rap bands and they put on a very lively and energetic show.

Audioslave is the fusion of two former supergroups, Sound Garden and Rage Against the Machine. They were able to put on an amazing show that rewed up the audience. They performed their new song,"Like a Stone," and they also did a fantasticversion of"seven N'ation Army" by the White Stripes.

Incubus' perfbrmance was also a crowd pleaser. They performed many songs from their new CD called "Moming View," which includes the song "Wish You Were Here."

Men'ssoccer:no lookingback,only ahead byChelsyKlein IheMetaplitan After last year's disappointingseason,the Men's soccerteam is ready to come back and prcve that they are not about to lie down and play dead.

At the end of last season,the men's soccer teamhad an overallrecordof 5-11-3andtheir percentagewas .342 for the year. Men's soccer headcoach and AssistantAthletic Director Brain Crookhamfeel's that the tearn'sfailures last yearwill be rectifiedthis year.

"Anytime (we) have a bad season,I guess we lookedfirst at ourselves- 'what can we do better?'And I think that we got into a situation where we had some things that we couldn't conhol - players that we (red-shirted)," said Crookham. "What we can contol out of that is how we react to that. I don't think that we reactedasa gtoup very well."

Crookhamsaidthat he andhis teamarearxious to comeback and show that they areready to competeat a top competitivelevel.

Crookham explained that his returning players are putting a great deal of prcssureon themselvesand on their tearnmatesto perform betterthan last year.

"The guysthatwe haveback- they arewilling !o do whateverit takesto put a goodproduct on the field," said Crookham.Which includes increasingcommunicationandstriving for good teamchemistry "I think that(theveteranplayers)understand how importantthe chemistry(affectsthe team), especiallylast year when things got tough and we didn't have good chemistry. I think ihey really rmderstandhow important that is and they'vedonea goodjob, overthe first week,of helping us sort that out and bring the new guys into the lold a little bit." saidCrookham.

One of the toughestchallengesthat faced the team iast year was "the injury bug," so Crookhamis eagerand weary at the sametime 0opushhis teamto the furthestlimits.

"We'll push as hard as we can possibly push.We'regormafind out whatsomelimits of playen are,but we're not gonnabreakplayers," saidCrookham.

Crookhamknowsthat his teamis up against some tough competition. Last year, the divisionwasfilled with topof-theJineplayersand teams;this year is no different.

'1]ur conferenceis stellar- ColoradoMines has had a couple of greatyears in a row; Fort Lewis had a very, very talented yo"flg team that will definitely compete;Regis (is a) very talented, extr€nely dangerous goal-scoring type of team." He continuedby saying, "I feel very goodaboutwhat we getto competeagainst within the conferenceand aroundthe region."

Crookhamis confidentthat this year's fresh, new teamwill be able to hold their own against the stellar competitors."From top to bottom, the conferenceis going to be very good" said Crookham. "If you look at our schedulethis year, the way you get into the NCAA tournament is by being at the top of your region. We play the top, I would say,thirteen teamsin our region,"

In the off-season,it is really tough for the playersto sit idle andnot compete."(Theteam) wannacompete.Right now is a tough time for us 'causewe'rein pre-season, andinpre-season you kick eachother.You don't get to go out and play anybodyelseandso it's gonnabe a tough two weeks until we see the real conference schedulepop up or the real regional schedule pop up. Exhibition (games)are great, but we needto compete."

In order to satis$ the needfor competition, Crookham and Assistant Coach Tony McCall aranged for the team to travel throughEurope andcompeteagainstintemationalteams.

The playersraisedmoney in various ways. such as working the concessionstandat Pepsi Centerduring events.

The tearn stayed in Prague in the Czech Republic and spent some time in Heidelberg, Germany,during which time they played internationalteamsand flexed their competitive muscles.Crookhamsaid it wasgoodto seethe guys spendingtime togetherand really coming togetherasa team.

"Anytime you can spend 6 to 7 days together in strange,hostile environmentswhere you gotta deal with elementsthat are a little bit a out of your comfort zone it helpsus grow as a group. Having said that, I think ow guys workedvery hard over the sumrnerI think they play at pretty good levels," said Crookham.

"There's nothing that brings a group together morethanjust spendingtime together."

Crookham explained that the goal of the coaching staff is to encouragetogethemess amongthe teamby building chemistryandcommunicationskills, as well as physicalstrength andagility.

Theseskills will be vital in the upcoming season.but he stresses that thereis a limit to how far and how hard the coachescan push the team.

"We have to, first, have good communication with them - how they're feeling, where they're at (mentally and emotionally), things like that," said Crookham."Playerstell us what we needto know - they may not tell us verbally, but their actions,their physical abilities, (and) the training staff- things like that, (the players) help guide us through where we can pressand wherewe can't."
