"As for speakingat therally, I don't havea problemwith it."

"I had the understandingwe would investigate and leam more aboutthe bill." Woodson said."Publicspeakingwasnot the issue." While Woodsonmadethe commentthat shewas speakingas a concemedstudentand not studentbody president,manyperceivedthe op'posite. In a flyer distributedin Latin American politics classes,Woodsonwas listed as speaker and aspresidentof the SGA. Culpeppercited the actionsas being a direct violation of her job descriptionand oathof office. Violations include misconducqabuseof title, and not representingthe opinion of the entire studentMy. Culpepperis askingthat sheimmediately zubmit a formal letter of apologyand resignation to the studentbody. LaShantaSmith, a former memberof the SGA, expressedconcemsaboutCulpepper's opinion. SinceCulpepperis a memberof the RepublicanParty,Smith wonderedif the situation would be lesscontroversialif a student or faculty memberwho was indifferent to Horowitz' speechhad expressedconcems. Smith zuggestedalso to have a Democrat expresshis or her opinion abouther actions. "Shehasa right to expressheropinion. She'sa studentfirst and a presidentsecon4" Smith said.

Beyondan increasein tuition this year,students at Auraria are going to gradually notice the effecrc the budget cuts in Colorado higher educationwill have. The Auraria Higher Education Center has experienceda nearly $4 million budgetcut this fiscal year,a reductionfrom almost$ 17million to $13 million. Students will notice the effects around carnpus,mostly in a lack ofmaintenanceofthe groundsand cleanlinessof the buildings. While the effectsof thesecuts ar€n't ifunediate, several within AHEC, including Chief Iinancial Officer Curt Weidernan, said the long-term effectswill get progressivelyworse. *It's sort of like, ifyou don't changethe oil in the car like you should, something'sgoing to break down and when it breaksdown, then there's going to be conc€rn and people are going to notice it," he said. "Righi noq it's

He said an inability to respondquickly to this type ofmaintenancecould result in noticeable effectsfor the students. "If we're not able to get to all the preventative maintenanceis that there will be more failure," he said. "If things fail, shrdentswill notice in that they'll be more uncomfortable, the rooms might be too cold, they might hear some noisy piece of equipment, things like that. If a boiler goes out, for example, the whole building could be freezing." Wolf helped make the decision of which departmortswould be cut and by how much. He said Auraria Campus and Security received the least cuts, of approximately $70,907,becauseprotection of the studentsis one of the highestpriorilies. "You havethe matterofthe safetyandwelfare ofpeople on campusand whenyou haveto provide coverage24 hoursaday,7 daysaweek, there's a level of awarenessyou must have, otherwiseyou can't man your operations." Wolf and Mclean both said that the cuts
DisabilitiesServices,but it was picked up by Metro and UCD. According1oMetro's Chief Financial Offrcer Mike Bamett, the expenses and revenuefor DSO were simply shifted ftom AHEC to the schools. "I don't think therehasbeenany significant changein service at all," he said. "Basically, we felt we could provide a befterserviceto our studentsand take a third party out of it." According to Barnett, Metro's base fimding from taxpayer dollars was reduced by a b o u t$6 million this year, which increased tui tio nby about5 percent.Also, a combined positionsandvacancies were 60 administrative eliminated. Weidemansaid that while studentsmay be paying more for fees and tuition, they are not paying for the AHEC budgetshortfalls. While Wolf said he does not believe the situation will gei any betler for anolher two years,Feuerbomsaid he thinks this is as far as the cuts will go. "There's only a point to what you cancut," he said. "I'm of the opinion that we've made all the cuts that we canpossibly make and still deliver the servicesto the campus.If it contin-
Bamett said it do€sn't matter how much AHEC is cut in comparisonto Metro. "Cuts are cuts," he said. "And they hurt either side no matter wherethey are." Wolf also said that there'sreally not much the studentscan do to immediatelychangethis situation,but they canmakean efrort to change things for next year. "I think (students)needto make their legislators aware of their concems about higher education," he said. "The sad part of it, when you makethe most cuts in higher education,is you're passingthe costsdirectly back onto the studenls. . . but you can seea bit ofa groundswell in public opinion on thesothings, and to me that is encouraging,"Wolf said. Weidemansaid that if thereare any further cuts into AHEC, they will not ooly have to cut staff to avoid lowering utility costs,which are about$3 million but AHEC will haveto reconsider what servicesthey can provide "Do we reduce the number of days we clean ofiices and clean classrooms?Are we able to shovel the walks in the wintertime?A lot ofwhat we do is invisible to evervone."

Domesticviolenceboard ruined by DaciaCox T'lEMettopolitan October is Domestic Violence Awareness month on campus and the women's studies program, located at 1033 Ninth Street Park, has been organizing events and has participated in a rally at the capitol building to start off the month. The organization put up a bulletin board near Central Classroom 212 with photos of abused women and the words: "Domestic Violence Kills" in red paint. Last week, someonevandalized this board. "l think it shows insecurity because they can't handle what is out there," Metro senior Eric Zimmerman said of the vandalism. "lf they don't want to confess to it, they have no integrity; they can't hardle the truth." This act of vandalism was committed early last week. The vandalized section of the board was restored to its original state after the women's studies center became aware of the cnme.
Misty Dawn Conrad, a student employee of the women's studies departmentand one of the three domestic violence survivors who put up the bulletin board, said the board is important for the department'sgoal of education. "We've had a lot ofpositive feedbackfor it," Conrad said about the board. "Ourjob here is to educatethe campus about the situation." Sheila Solano,the vice presidentof lota Iota Iota, an honor society for r:v'omen'sstudies, said domestic violence is still a problem. "The majority ofpeople don't know it's still out there," she said. "lf we were to put little pink letters up (on the bulletin board), it would minimize the situation." The women's studies program can be divided into two sections. One is academia, the other is providing services. These services include helping people who need emergency housing or food. They also help students who have beenout ofschool for a long time make the transition back into the academic community. Men are welcome to take advantaqe of these resourcesas well.
"Victims are always welcome to come to the women's studies office," Solano said, "anyone here can help." The employees of the women's studies
'I think it shows
insecuritvbecause they can't handle what is out there.' -Eric Zimmerman, Metrosenior departmentspendtime finding resourcesfor victims and gathering phone numbers and informationfor victims and friends. Resource
information is located next to the bulletin board by Central Classroom 212 as well as in the women's studies offrce. This information includes.."Don't Suffer in Silence" cards with names of organizationsand phone numbersthat those in need of help can call. 'We frnd people in these situations don't know where to get help," Solano said. The women's studies center also has onsite help available. Regina Lang is a certified counselor available for these purposes, as are the other in-house employees "Statistics show that (domestic violence) is happening a lot," said program Assistant Director for Women's Studies Cheryl Sipe. "lt crossesall races,all genders,all economics." Conrad confirmed this. "lt doesn't mafter who you are," she said. The women's studies program will have a self-defenseworkshop from 9 a.m. to noon Monday, Oct. 13 and 2 to 4 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 16 in St. Cajetan's.

"Let us, in the name of the HoQ Tnn y, go on sendingall the slaveslhat can be sold. " Columbus Christopher Columbus is probably one of the best-known men in American history. Nodb American cities. rivers, and a national holiday are named after him. As chil&eu we taughtthe history of JerryRoys were his voyage and so-called Gues,Columnis, discoveryofa new world. We celebratedColumbus Day in Octoberwith holidayparades.Nowadays Sonsofltaly fle fc thepermit for the paradein Denver,therebykeepilg the celebrationalive. Italian-Americanscelebratethis day as a part of their heritageand pride, much like the Mexican-AmericanscelebrateCinco de Mayo, the hish-AmericanscelebrateSt. Pahick's Day andAfrican-Anericans celebrateMartin Luther King Day. The paradeshave, however, become the center of controv€,rsy.Native Americans look on Columbus Day as an insult. From their point ofview, Columbuswasresponsiblefor the diseaseand destructionof the early indigenous peopleofthe Americas.To put it in perspective, it was about domiuatinga country that had an abundanceofgold. Doesthis soundfamiliar? Gold. Now thereis thereal culprit.Wherever gold was discoveredin the Americas,Westem

Europeansand lat€r the newly establishedU.S. govemmentinvadedto conquerthe land,dignity and lives of the Native Americanpeople. Why not protest the federal and stat€ govemmentsfor still refrrsingto give the Black Hills back to the Lakota Sioux? This is land that was oftcially recognized as belonging to the takota in 1962 under Law 926, which allowed any native nation the right to sue the Americangovemmentfor landstaken illegally. Thirty billion dollars in law suits filed by Native Americans against the govenment fo( the confiscationof lands are still pending.The taking of the Black Hills w8s tbe most blatant offense. Cetting back to Columbus,he first spotted land in the Baharnason Oct. 11, 1492.He had set sail to find a shorter route to the Indies and thought he had accomplishedthat goal. According to his log, Columbus traveled !o swen other islands including San Salvador, Haiti, Cubaand the DominicanRepublic. During the conquestof the native peopleof theseislands,Columbuswasdirectlyresponsible for the slavery,mutilationandmurderofArawak men, women and children until one-half of the entire population of Hispaniola was killed or committed suicide. Every lndian had to bring in an allotmentof gold or cotton-If they failed, their armswere hackedoff; they bled to death. In 1496, after the gold had been depleted the Spaniardstook the land for themselves.The samesetupwas repeatedin succeedingSpanish settlements.This massacreand conquestofland
comparesto the early settlementofColorado. If protesting the Columbus Day parade is reasonableconsidering the destnrctionlhat stemmedfrom the men xad his descendants, then perhapsNative Americansshould protest the town of Chivington, named after John Chivinglor, the monster responsible for the Sand Creek nassacre. His message"kill and scalp all, big and little; nits make lice" was given to the Colorado Militia 3rd Regiment, who attackedthe pencefulCheyennecampthat flew the Anerican flag with the white flag, a sign tbat they were not hostile. Similarly, the U. S.Army led by Gen.James H. Carlton forced the 400 mile death march of the Navajo in wbat has becomeknown as 'The Long Walk," Carlton was under orders to remove the obstacles that prohibited tbe searchfor preciousmetals in the West. These obstacleswere the native people. So when is the U.S. Army going to be held responsiblefor the destructionof the North American Irdian? The Navajo were forced to march from sunup to sundown.If any happenedto fall to the side of the road, they were killed. Their hungerwas so great at times, they resortedto eating their own moccasins.When they arrived at Bosque Redondo,the new reservation,they had to build a fod for the Arrny. My greatgreatgrandmotherwas one of the unfortunateNavajo who was brutalized during this period in American history. History does repeat itself: the massacreat WormdedKnee in South Dakota, the Big Hole in Montana
where90 womenand children ofthe Nez Perez nation were massaqedin their nation's flight for freedom,and the Trail of Tears,where the native people were forced to march from the Eastto Oklahoma. The list goeson and on. Not until recentyean hasthis part ofhistory beentold, The Native American occupationof WoundedKnee brought awarenessabout lhe true history of the American Indian, a history that mostAmericanshadnot beentaugbt. Part of that history is how the Native Americans were forced to assimilate into the white culture thrcugh the des8uction of their spirinul beliefs and heritage. Native Americans,who havehad so much stoletrfiom them, should fight for the right of any culture to cclebratethei heritageevenif it is througha mannamedColumbus.It is their right, but not at the exclusionofthe truth. The truth is that Columbuswas far from a good exampleof Italtian heritage, let alone a decenthumanbeing. And, the truth might be that Columbus wasn't evenItalian. Salvadorde Madaragaand SimonWiesenthalhaveprovidedovenvhelning evidencethat Columbuswas part Jewish.This was not an ancestry that was popular in the 15th Century,the time of tbe loquisition. The mystery of Columbuswas hidden from many, including his sons. He lived his own life in obscurity.History is oftenjust as obscue, often written from the penpective of the dominant peoplein power.

The confusing issue alleged tenorist training seemsto be whether we, the Unit€d States,are camp for the Palestinian willing to let anothercountry, Israel, dictate our groupHamas.Thiswould future military involvement in a region that is mark the first time in over already rolatile.

This pbst weekend, Israel executed a )r€emptive strike against Syria, targeting an
rael achieved by attacking Syria was to ensure the frantic scrambling ofthe Arab nations to become nuclear powers as fast as possible. Israel will not stem the ebb of tenorism against it by inciting hate amongst an even greater population of a neighboring country. Israel has only added credence to concems, paranoid though they may be, that it plans on invading other countries with the goal of expanding its land and resources. The concem is understandable since Israel has pursued an expansion policy evidencedby its grorving number of settlements in dre Palestinianterritory. It's no longer a question of if, but when, th€ Arab nations against Israel reach nuclear pot€ntial. The world has just become more of an unsale place to live. We should all be holding our breathright now, becausegiven the Bush administration's inability to fully commit to the Middle East Crisis, inevitable conflict will now be enhancedto doomsdayproportions. Although this horrific outcome has onlyjust
begun to take its first infant steps toward completion, it is unnerving to think that the Bush administration still maintains its cunent foreign policy shategy. Instead of meeting with these countries. or gnnting them simple concessions, like condemning the anarckon Syna or agreeing to talk to North Korea, the Bush administration has remained unmoved in its apparent malice toward diplomacy. Worse still, the Bush administration continues to support its preemptive sorry, preemptive defense strike doctrine strateg/. Once any oflsrael's neighbon become nuclear powers and are no longer intimidated by lsrael's nuclear deterrent, they will be able to legitimately use some preemptive defense on Israel seeing as how Isiael has a history of attacking them. lf we, the United States, stay our current course in regard to our foreign policy, the worst possible scenariosbecome the most probable.

This allowed on campus, she made it clear to those sounds good to me, and the fact that the SGA perceptivemembersofthe audiencethat she had Policy Manual has misconduct and disciplinary a personal agenda up her sleeve. Horowitz's messageis allowed becauseour administration . pmcedures to enforce this preamble makes it that much better. is trying to support diverse viewpoints by bringBill Vandenbergofthe Colorado Progres- ing diverse speakersto its diverse studentbody. sive Coalition took the podium to introduce Woodson is the one who's close-minded.Don't Woodson to the small crowd of students, fac- both sides of this strictly partisan issue see that ulty, and media. Vandenberg announced her, they are demanding the exact same thing. and and later confirmed that he announcedWoodson that by fighting, the left is only creating its own as "MSCD's student body president." From the demise on this issue? get-go Woodson was acting as student body The Rocrl Mountain Nâ&#x201A;Źlr.s ran two arpresident, which means thal she's required to ticles quoting Woodson, and one large photo fairly representthe studentbody of Metro. of her speaking at the protest. Every time her To Woodson's belated and futile name appears, so does "Student Body Presicredit, for a brief moment, well into her speech, dent." Woodson somehow forgot to personally she told the crowd that she was "not speaking as mention that she was not acting as studentbody studeDtpresidâ&#x201A;Źnt at this point." Woodson has presidentto either of the reporterscovering the every right to speak as a private citizen, but her story for The Roclg, Mountain ly'ews, and yes, tone was not that ofa private citizen. When the this has been confirmed. tone of her lecture changed, briefly, Woodson The results of Woodson's half-truths were had aiready gone 16 words too far, and soon the a blatant misrepresentationofthe Metro student tone reverted to its former style. The deception body. Metro's entire studentbody appearsas if
it agreeswith Woodson on this topic in front of The Rocfo Mounlain News' entire readership. Once again, \lbodson continued to mislead, misrepresent,and miss the point. According to an e-mail sent out by College Republican interim Chairman George Culpepper, Woodson "did not seek approval from srudent goYemment." For this reason the College Republican National Cornmittee and the Colorado Federationof College Republicans have requested that Culpepper ask for Woodson's resignation. Culpepper will formally request Woodson's immediate resignation this week, and rightiy so. Woodsonsaid that she has no intention of resigning because,according to her, she was not acting as student body president. How can we believe this in light of alJ the evidence stacked againsther? This bill only has ramifications because of people like Woodson who have taken it to the media. This has already done more harm than the bill ever could do by itself becauseit's creating a chilling effect among our professors. I want this campusto be a place ofopen-minded leaming, but with studentssuch as llbodson it's just not possible. Woodson is the one sending out erroneousmessagesabout Metro to the mass public, and as such, she needs to do the right thing lor the studentbody and stepdown. If she choosesnot to do so, the SGA Policy Manual statesthat it only takes 5 percent of thâ&#x201A;Ź student body's population to recall her. None of this should have to be said - I actually agreewith Woodson on this issue- but Woodson put herself in this situation. Oftentimes it's harder to do the right thing than the wrong thing, but in this situation Woodson lucked out, becauseit only takes one person to resign and it takes nea y 1,500 to take her out of office. I can't wait for her next press conference!

!s rn r€soonseto Mr. Manrnez.r€marts about Elena Brown's Sept.l8 article. When Mr. Martinez said Elena Brown "left out a ftw facts," I, being a college studenl took those"facts" asgivens. It's a given that high-schoolersarenot legally allowed possessionof fueanns. It's a givur that when you apply for a concealedweaponspermit that you are legally ableto own a fireamr. It's a given that a backgroundcheck is done when you apply for a concealed weaponpermit. Il's a given that no law is going to stop someonefrom breaking the law if that is their intent. The fact that Mr. Martinez hasto have the "givens" pointed out makes me worry abouthis GPA. The adicle's focus is getting the opinion of Mr. Castaldowho has first-hand lnowledge ofwhat gunscando in the hands ofunstableindividuals,andhow that knowledgehaschangedhis life - forever. The article's secondaryfocus is the meetingofthe AurariaBoardto considerthe passingof a policy to ban concealed weaponson campus. My concern,as an Auraria campus student,is the fact that the personnext to weapon me in classis carryinga concealed or my instructoris carrying a concealed weapon.I'm not comingto collegeto worry abouta studentwho didn't like thegradeand takesa shotat theinstructor;or theinsfructor who can't controlhis classandfiresa waming shot. I like the idea of coming to school, with other law-abidingstudents,knowing that I don't havetd worry aboutwho hasa weapon.I like the ideathatpeoconcealed ple who arenot supposed to havea weapon will be foundout by theAurariaPolice.

Let us not be disin.genuous.Mr. Horowitz and his allies in this affair are adamantthat they striveto remove ideology from higher educationcampus€s. Their opponentsreply with equalvehemence that it is preciselyMr. Horowitz and his faction who would ensconceideology there. Both sidescould perhapsdo themselves,the students,and the public a serviceby coming cleanon this score. Mr. Horowitz and his Studentsfor AcademicFreedomtarget especiallyeducators in the humanitiesand the arts (my own particularfield - glad you noticed!!)- Yet the truth of the matter is that all seriouspedagogy has an agenda: The materialis taught with a view toward studentretentionof that material. For all the suspicionsaboutindoctrination in the humanitiesand the arts, it is therethat the discemingstudentwill find the most credencedevotedto the all-important tool of critical engagement. When speakingat Auraria on September 30th, Mr. Horowitz asserted,by way of comparison,that "(we) all trust our doctors to take care of us, whatever our politics." I must here caution him that he chosean unfortunateexample. If he thinks that highereductionis undulypoliticized,he shouldvisit the tenches of healthcare. The

To call for an end to campusideologies (whatever the caller's own might be) under theseconditionsis to cry for the moon. To demandideological"balance"(in favor of reaction)is to iglore that colleges and universitiescompetewith infotainment, the propagandaof office holders,corporate discourse,and commodity fetishism. Terry Eagleton(admittedly,a scholarMr. Horowitz would not like) describesthe situation thusly: "Within this turmoil of competing creeds,any particularbelief systemwill find itself wedgedcheekby jowl with unwelcome competitors;and its own frontiers will thus be thrown into sharprelief. The stageis then set for the growth of philosophicalskepticism and relativism--forthe convictionthat. within the unseemlyhubbubof the intellectual marketplace,no single way of thinking can claim more validity than any other.

DearEditor, I sat through the wild wild world of trash politics and extremepartisanhate speech delivered by Mr. HORRORwitz Wednesdayat the DU NewmanCenterand came away feeling I had just watcheda WamerBros.TasmanianDevil cartoon,with Mr. Hom\Mitzwildly spinningout of control slobberingand spittilg, bgatingthe drum on a liberal conspirary theory going on in our nation's colleges.He's claiming fascists, Marxists corrupted and pervertedadministrationsand professorsare dominatingeducationand keepinghim andhis ?right wing? brothersand sistersfrom participatingin the HOGWASH! educationof collegestudents. Yes, Mr. HorowiE represents the extremeright wing, not conservatives,and is makingan issuewithout solid empirical. evidenceon the accusationshis organization claims is so pervasivein our schools.He is relying on anecdotalevidencefiom personal interviewswith studentsandthe political affiliations of faculty and staff. A faculty or sta{fpersonsparty affiliation doesnot automatically maketltem suspectof indoctrination andblack listing in employment,and in the samecontext,not all personalinterviews are reliable becauseof the possiblebias of the personinterviewed. I believe our administrationsare very conscious of following state and federal employmentlaws and can be trusted.Many pointsin theA.B.O.R.arealreadystateand federal law and completely unneoessary double legislation. This campaign is distributive and harms higher educationand is purely partisal in its nature and should be protestedonAmerican collegecampuses and legislaturesaroundthe Nation.

Luckily for her shefound her love for theater- and beyond theater,musical theater - while still young. 'I think it's because theater is so representational to life," Markel said. "Mainly
becauseit brings so muchjoy to people. It's the thing I am best at." When Markel came to Metro a few years ago, she had limited experiencein theater- two to three shows at most, she says. Originally, Markel had a desire for anthropology. But in 1999 her interestsmoved towards theater, where her talent has show! to be prominent. "A friend of mine was in the theater

department. I enjoyed theater and decided to pursue it," Markel said. "I love the (theater) departrnent because it's the safest,most comfortable welcoming place I have been on campus. The whole atmosphere is inviting. Almost all ofmy best friends I have met through the theater department. They are relationships that will last a lifetime," Markel said. Soon after Markel joined the theater department, she auditioned for a Metro Production of "Rosencrantzand Guildenstem." where she landed a principal role. "l was really shocked,yet grateful," Markel said. Since then, Markel has produced a 10minute student production, served as a master electrician in a production, and appearedin 14 other sho$'s. Of all of her appearances,Markel has two favorite performances. Her first was her appearanceas Martha in the musical "The Secret Garden." "lt was a huge challenge - an educational experience," Markel said. Before this, according to Markel, she had never sung in front ofpeople. Her second important role was in last spring's student production of "Shadowbox." Markel played Felicity, 'a 65-year-old woman dying of cancer. The part was absolutely 100 percent different from herself, she says. "lt was the most challenging and rewarding role I have ever done. It was comDletelv different from me," she said. In fact, Markel's perforrnance was so convincing that another actor in the show overheard an audience member discussing Markel's oerformance.
"One of my fellow actors overheard someonediscussingwhetherI was a young studentplaying an older character,or if I was an older student" Markel said. "That was my bestwork," Markel added. Besidesperforming,Markelhasworkedas a technicianin the King Centerfor two years. Additionally, outside of Metro's theater department, Markel works as a backstage dresser for the Curious Theater Company. Typically, Markel dealswith 30 to 40 different eachnight. characters "l am constantlyputting them in different costumes,"Markel said. "l get to seeall the - it's important.But I really technicalaspects wantto be a performer" Markel hasa strongintuitionthat shewill performprofessionally. "I want to be an actor.

Stunbling nearthe end of the tunnel On a Sunday, after only two hours of sleep, left his wife behind for a 2O-hourplane ride from the deserts of Texas to the deserts of lraq. Sweating and delirious, he found himself stuck behind the wheel of a broken HMMWV in the middle of nowhere, with a generous amount antifreezesprayedacrosshis legs.
'he
In the mild 82-degree hear. tbey dumped their drinking water in the radiator to get it working again and were once again on their way. This joyous moment didn't last long, two miles later the vehicle was dead on the side of the road. Getting it to work once again was difficult; watching the HMMWV slowly die, yet ags'J', was even worse. Lost, they spotted a vehicle racing through the desert toward them. His NCOIC, terrified and paranoid, ordered him to drive on thinking the other vehicle was "the enemy." Always the good soldier, he drove on as fast as the vehicle would allow - at a brisk walking pace - until the other truck caught up with them. It tumed out to be the Air Force Police who just wanted to notiry them that their vehicle's engine was on fire. Sent to tell the others what had happened to theif HMMWV, he hitchhiked back along the convoy route to camp, reported his unit's nonoperative status, and found a patch of earth to sleepon. He woke up a short time later choking on a mouthful of black flies. Later he drove for several days in the blistering sun, crossedwhat was possibly a mine field...twice, and lost his wallet in the process. He found a bombed-outpalacewith a garden and sent a rose ffom it home to his wife just before the garden was destroyedby tanks. Since then, readers of The Metropoliton have'beenlold storiesabout the old rnan fighting a legion of teenagersby himself, about the time he risked his life for some Juicy Juice, or when he talked to a girl whose marriage proposal was punctuatedwith a mortar explosion. Bootlegged alcohol, feral dogs, and idiocy framed the borders of his mique picture on the war. A war that, for him, is stumbling toward an ending, becausehe is finally being sent home. This series of articles is based on the dialogues that I have with a friend of mine who is currently serving in lraq. It is our attempt to illustrate a unique perspective about the ordinary people engaged in extraordinary situations. This is nearly the end of the Dispatches; he has promised to document his travels back home, and will as soon as he can. However, he may be out ofcontact for the next week or so. Until then, this is the 14* dispatch. Jan Nelish
I went to a "Reunion and SuicidePrevention" briefing today, as is mandatoryto clear this place and get on a plane back to the world. During the briefing, I was amused by two points made by the Chaplain who spoke. Point l: "When you get home, your kids are going to get sick. Don't worry about that, it isn't some kind of Iraqi crud you brought back with you,
kids just get sick when their parentscome home ftom deployments. It has NOTHING to do with your deployment." Point 2: "Vulgarity. Let's talk about rulgarity. You all know that real people don't talk likâ&#x201A;Ź that, and you shouldn't either. So, let's keep that in mind. No vulgarity."
I was shocked by the emotion and odd tone the captain took as he said openly
(Later) I spoke with a Captain who I rode with today. He asked if I had heard who had been killed (recentiy) by an RPG attack.
The HMMWV was silent as we finished our drive to where the captain lives.
I told him that I hadn't (yet) heard. A female Major who was standing nearby told us who it was, and what had happened.

Lorberbringsiu, to Colorado
byTuyetNgryen TheMetowlitan
The dentist'soffice is a-Meccafor discomfort and awkwardness. There's the impending doom of gloved fingers shovedinto uncomfoftable places,the stiff-backedposture-correcting waiting room chairs and then, of all the tribulations, there is the contemporaryjazz softly crooning from the wall speakerslike a march ofdeath. Somewherein this genreof Muzak is where Jeff Lorber finds his home. l,orber smoothjazzesit up with the best of his contemporaries on his latest album "Philly Style," which was released in March 2003 on the appropriate Nrada Jazz label. Fancy keyboard playing, tracesofR&B andthe funky wah-wahsoundare all found on what is to be Lorber's hibute lo his Philadelphianroots. As Lorber'ssixteenthalbum,"Philly Style," comes-offas well as a Kenr:yG, album does. Sure, it's well-done and well-produced,but for non-fansof the gefie it is rather tame and not very impressive.Cefain bandsand artists like Radioheador Johnny Cash have a ubiquitous soundthat can break acrossmusical bordersto appealto a comucopiaof people. Lorber is not oneofthoseartists. The (sub)wban updatedjazz of today is relegated to specific groups of like-minded 'adults who enjoy the rmpretentiousness of artists like GeorgeBensonand Chris Botti. This is ,music for individuals who savorthe comforting atnosphereof mellow beatsand good-natured grooves. For specialty artists like Lorber who havebuilt a solid fan-basein this genre,it is not necessarilya badthing to havea soundthat shies away from Top 40 radio. Lorber, who has been making music since the late 1970's,heq fused his inspirationsinto the polishd-cory definitive ofjazz pop and still standsloday as a pioneer of the style. Critics have applaudedLorber's album as an energetic and fresh angleon thejazz crossover.Lorber's cover of hiphop group Goodie Mob's "Soul
by HowadRmenberg Cougy ofNaradaJaz Jazz musician Jefi Lorber will be coming to Colorado as prrt of the Dave Koz Saxophonic Tour. He will be pelforming ot I p.m. on Oct 15 rt tbe Prrsmount Theater.
Food" has been describedwith sheer delight as new and innovative. And of course,those fanswho havebeenwith Lorber since"The Jeff Lorber Fusion" dayssurely have welcomedthis latesteffort. However, what is good for the goose is sometimesof no interest at all to the gander. Smoothjazz really is an acquiredtaste and not all areup for it. While many may find Lorber's rnusic a comfortable ride, some may only rememberit from the torturous confines of a dentist'schair. Like fansof CannibalCorpseor
InsaneClown Posse.it takes a certain kind of personto really be into this padicular style. Lorber will be making an appearanceon.. Oct. 15 at the ParamountTheater in Denver. The show promisesto be a hunrble adventure into the land of adrlt contsmporarywith synthesizers over quiet rhythms, lite-frmk bass and sleek beats- For those who'have already plannedto attend,this experiencewill certainly be an enjoyableone- And for thosewho haven't beenplanningto attend,they probablywon't be losinganysleepoverit.

College sports are in dire straits with its integrity, or lack of it. Collegiate athletes complain how they should get money in exchangefor their play. Well they are; it's calleda collegeeducation. I comparethis complainingto a child whining aboutnot getting the toy they wanted. How great of a deal is it td have a free or extremelycheap educationjust for playing sports? Quite a geat dealifyou askme. At mostschools,the athletes are provided with food and shelterat little or no cost. Wow, I tell ya, theseathletes have it tougher than a single motherwith three children . holding down two jobs while goingto Eric Scott school. @ The athletes shouldn'tget paid for their play becausethat would take away from the integrity of college sports. If money comes into play with the players,it createsfactionswithin the team. Playerswould complainhow they shouldget paidmorethansomeone else. .Okay,so they shouldn'tget paid,andright now, they aren't. Or arethey?Every so often, you hearabout wrongdoingswithin the sportsprogmmsabout the athletes receiving "improper benefits" from boosters.What do the coachesdo about this?Eitherthey authorizeil or they brm their cheeks. Recently,I heardaboutthe Aubum football programin the mid-1990'sand its scandals.' Apparentlyrecruitswere receivingmonetary bribes from boosters in retum for them attending Aubum University. Former head coachTerry Bowdenwas told by the school's administrationto do nothing except smile and saythankyou for choosingAuburn. VanderbiltUniversityin Nashville,Tenn., has quite possibly some of the worst sports leamsin America,andyet its athleticsprogram is consideredthe cleanestin college sports. Give me an honestloser,and I'll give you an outstanding citizen.Collegeathleticsshouldbe about getting your education,pushingyourself to excel, having fun, and becoming a better person. to makesure It is the coach'sresponsibility the athletegrows as an individual. It seemsas though the college coach is losing control of its players:not performancewise, but integdty wise. Coachesshouldbe role models,not sports agenrs. Reinstatingintegdty to collegesportsstarts with the school administratorsand the athletic directors, but the responsibility rests mostly on the shouldersof the coach to make sure their athletesare doing the right thingsin life. College4thleticsaremorethanjust sports.It's a pnvilege. Until universitiesmake sure money is absolutely outof collegesports,NCAAathletics will be about as honestas Rush Limbaugh saying he loves and respects Grambling University football (figure out that one for yourself.l. Theprivilegewill be a merejob.
