The winter weather was biting Monday moming, but for many students,a display near the flagrole offered a different kind of shockto the senses.

A towering triangle of bloody photosintermingled with pro-life argumentsannouncedthe presenceof the.Christian group Justicefor All on the Auraria Campus.

Students gathered around the approximately40-loot wide, 2O-foottall exhibit ringed by a short metal banier. Sometalked or argued with college-ageanti-abortionvolunteers,many of whom were from the Focus on the Family Institute in ColoradoSprings.

Others just stared and walked around, observingthe exhibit.

A few who pass€dshoutedstatementslike "Pro-choice!" For rrsny students,the immediate questionwas "Why?' One angry stud€ntchallengeda vohmteer by asking,'Why do you feel that it is your duty to put this up?" while gesturing toward graphic photographs showilg post-abortion fetal rcmains.

The president of the Metro chapter of Justicefor All, who hostedthe exhibit, said the group wantedto makepeoplethink.

"We want to put a face to the tenn 'prochoice'," he said. '1lhis (abortion) is a slmptom, but not lhe main problem.The problem is that peo,pledon't hve Jesusin their life. It is our hope that this exhibit makespeople think, . regadlessofreligion or belief."

TheMMirnt Proposedplani to remodel the Combined Computer Access Center-specifically a plan that would reduce the'size of the computer lab--have raised concemsamong the disabled cornmrmity.

CCAC, located in the Auraria library, is a computerlab that offers a variety of servicesto studentswith disabilities. ' The staff at CCAC is trained to assistdisabled studentswith alternativemedia formats. specialized computer software and general counselingandadvocacy.

Meier, a Metro studentwith dyslexia."I get disfractedreally easily."

Metro studentBrendaMosby,who is slightly visually impaired saidstudentswith physical, mentaland socialdisabilitiesusethe lab.

The center is predominantly funded by grants,but is also partially financedby Metro, althoughit is opento andusedby studentsfrom all threeschools.

Mosby said it is much easierto attain grant money when the lab is helping students,but if the size of their spaceis reducedit will appear lesshelpful.

With recent changes in administration, Health Services director Steve Monaco now runsthe lab, andthe decisionwas madeto combine CCAC with the Disability ServicesOffice.

The shrdentsand staff at CCAC arewonied that Monacodoesnot havetheir welfarein mind becauseof a proposalto remodela largepart of the lab into ofrces for DSO membersand to build the main ennancein the bick ofthe library by the parking lot and loadingdock , At presstime, phonecalls seekingcomment from Metro's administrationwere not retumed.

"It would make me feel like a second-class student," said Cecily LaFeir, a Metro student with ADD who usesthe lab asa quiet getawayto get her homeworkdone. 'We had this beautifirl space,and now we would haveto go in through the backdoor" An open forum was held March 23 and?A, which gave studentsthe opporhmity to offer feedbackand input on the proposedchanges.

Studenttrust€eHarris Singer said the con' cemsarebeing addressedand a newerproposal hasbeenmade, Several floor-plans for remodeling have beenconsidered.Themost rec€ntplan addresses students'concemsand woutd actually expand the existing space290 squaref€et further out into the library. It is t}re only one of four plans that actually etrlargesthe spacerather than decreases it.

David Gleim, dean and director of the library, said any plans of extendingthe lab into the lib'rarywould needto be approvedby him.

He addedthat Metro would be responsible for any remodelingcosts.

Meier said shercmemten severalyearsago when the lab was much smaller.Shesaid it was really crampedand 6speciallydifrcult for studentsin wheelchairs.

According to Mosby, CCAC had only 5fi)600 squarefeet in 1995and now the centeris roughly 2,700squarefeet.

The plan that raised concem with the students and staff would have reduced the size of the adaptive technology computer lab and eliminated a "smart classroom," a classroom equippedwith advancedtecbnology,to make room for offces for the DSO staff An adaptive techaologies class, which teachesstudentsabout the latestsoftwareavailable for peoplewith dsabilities, is taughtin the "smart classroom"andmany sfudentswere concemedthis classwould no longerbe available.

"Being in this classis the first exposureI've had to a supportiveenvironment,"LaFeir said.

Vince Phason,a Metro studentconfinedto a wheelchair,saidMetro is highly regardedwithin the disabledcommrmityasa schoolthat calersto thespecialneedsofthe disabled. "lf they conbine the two (CCAC and DSO) andmakeit a one-stop,morepeoplewill usethe lab," Phasonsaid. "If anything, we need more space."

He adde4 "This is my home awdy from home." ' Meier said she likes the family ahnosphere AtCCAC. "They let me be who I am. It's OK, I jusl leam a diferent way," she said. "I wouldn't be graduatingcollegeif it wasn't for this lab."

Metro's administrationis working on finalizing a plan with the library and ifthe associated renovatingcosts arc within reason,the CCAC space will remain intact while expandingthe spaceto makeroom for DSO offices.

Singer said the CCAC-DSO mergermakes senseand combining the services under one roof would provide a one-stopshopfor disabled students. '(CCAC) has its place and it will survive," Singersaid.

DSO is currently locatedin the Arts building, and the move into the library should be completeby mid-August.

For ex4mple,a family of two that makes uirder $15,000a year would be put into the A category.

For full-time enrollment (five frrll days) of ' a toddler, this family would pay $535 a month.

The center has been accredited by the NationalAssociationfor the EducationofYoung Childrcn (NAEYC) since the 80s, Hamelin said.

This meansthe centerhashadon-sitevisits by childcareprofessionals, has beenrevibwed by three childcare and early educationexperts and has been judged as being in compliance with early educationcriteria. The centeris one of 19NAEYC accredited child caresin Denver.

Out of six NAEYC accreditedchild cares within l0 miles of the center,the average monthly rate for full-time enrollment is $722.

Lohman said most undocumented immigrants enter the country illegally because it is very expensive and difficult to become a legal immigrant in the U.S. She also said the curent immigration laws limit the number of people who can become immigralts each year and that thc limits for Mexico and Canral American countries. where most undocumented immigrants come from, are very low. "(The original.bill) would keep (undocumented immigants) in the ranks of the underpaid," Irhman 'Colorado would have thousands of bright, said. promising high school graduat€s who have nowhere to go."

According to Lohman, there are currently over 1,000 immi$ant students at Metro and over 100 of those are undocumented, but enrolled beforc Metro

officially declared a few years ago that the school would no longer admit undocumented immigmnts as sluoents.

According to statistics compiled in Octob€r of last year by the Urban Institute in Washington D.C., an estimated 65,000 undocumented immigrants who have lived in the U.S. for five yean or longer, graduate from high school every year, and an estimated 7,000-13,000 of those go on to enroll in higher education.

The Urban lnstitute estimates that there are 7.59.5 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S. as of 2002. lf the bill were enact€d with the amendment, Colorado would be one of foru states-iucluding Califomia, New Yor*, Texas and Utah-to provide in-state tuition to undocumented irnmigrans. lf the original bill goes through, Colorado will join Arkansas and Mrginia in instituting state law restricting illegal immiglant access to high€r education.

"It would bring us to enterprise status and take us out from under the TABOR (Taxpayers' Bill of Rights) bill," Lucas said.

TABOR places public colleges and universities under tax revenuerestrictions,meaning that becausethe schoolsreceive taxpayer funds, tuition camot be raisedwithout the Joint Budget Committee's approval. Under the bill, statepublic colleges and universities *ould no longer receive state funds directly and therefore would not be tied to govemment registration.

A c c o r d i n g t o C o l o r a d o C o m m i s s i o no n Higher Education (CCHE) spokesperson Jennifer Nettesheim, state colleges and universities can apply for enterprisestatus.

TABOR dcfrnes enterprise as: "A governmcnt-ownedbusinessauthorizedto issueits own revenue bonds and receive under 10 percent of annual revenue in grants from all Colorado state and local govemments combined."

Schools can" also contract their o*'n debt without state approval. For example, Metro could authorize funding for buildrng repairs without going through a statecommittee.

Under SB 189, colleges and universities could raise tuition fil'e percent in the first year, and apply to raise it more in the coming years.

Culorado SenatorSueWendelssaid she opposes the bill for that reason. "lf we truly want to raise the dismal statistics of our high school students who go on to higher education, raising tuition would not impact those statistics in a positive way," Windels said. "lt may impact them in a negative way by discouraging students saying they can't afford that."

Colorado Senator Norma Anderson is the sponsorofSB 189.

"Tuition will have to be raised," Anderson said. "Other stateshave raised their nridon; we (Colorado) have brought down our tuition." a small tuition hike of did

Besidesthe benefitsof a new state status, Nettesheim said students would see a change in Colorado's active role in their education. "(With a) stipend, students would have to realize the state is providing the support," Nettesheim said.

The CCHE is a part of Governor Bill Owens'Blue Ribbon Panel (BRP) for the 2lst Century, which researched and suggested the voucher system for Colorado colleges and universities. r\Netteseirn said that 39 percent of Colorado high school graduatesgo on to an institulion of highereducation.

According to the BRP's findings, lowincome sfudents'access to a higher education should become a priority for Colorado.

The BRP projected that tuition at community collegescould decreaseby 25 percentunder SB 189. which would make higher education more accessible.

Nettesheim said ary tuition hike would still have to go through state legislation.

"Some are worried tuition may sky rocket because(state institutions) would not be bound to the TABOR limitations." Nettesheim said.

"But there will still be a check and balance-" Windels said SB 189 would allow private schools to accessalready decreasedstate funds for higher education.

Under the bill, need-basedstudents at private schools are eligible for 50 percent ofwhat a public school studentwould recelve.

"In the last two years,higher educationsupport has been cut 23 percent," Windels said. "I don't see how the solution (to accessibility of higher education) is to have public institutions accessa meager pot."

Windels said with a possible tuition hike in the future and the state funding decrease, the promised $2,400 voucher is not a guarantee.

"The bill would provide significantly less funds to help the 120,000srudentsin the state's andunivenities." said. co

The actual war, ending just over a year ago sccording to the Administration. was a historical victory in its speed and effrciency.

Mass graves and chemical weapon massacreshave been evidence given of the evil of SaddamHussein.These atrocities were committed mainly againstthe Shiite population, the majority population in lraq, In receniclasheswith the Shiite cleric Al-Sadr.our American troops are now fighting the people we're supposed to be liberating.

The Bush Adminisnation has pronounced that on June30, the U.S. will hand over power to the haqi people.This dateis only two months away.The amountand level of violence in Iraq areincreasing,with Marchbeingthe third-wont month for loss of American lives.

America facesin Iraq. Thereis a possibilify that thingswill get worsebefore,andif, they get better,Thesearefactsandrationaltrainsofthought that shouldhavebeendiscussedbeforewe went to war. As the election approaches,we must all ask ourselvesif the Bush Administration is incapable of supplying the American people with the honest, in-depth critical thinking so necessaryin the currentchaoticenvironmentwe find ourselves.If we can misstepso badly,as we havedonewith Iraq, what assuranceis there that we can confront and defeatan enemy that reallyhasWMD? The real reasoningbehind the war in lraq is a geopolitical stEtegy to changethe Islamic states in the Middle East into democratic statesfriendly to the American way of life and American interests.The Administration chose Saddamand iraq as the starting point because Saddamwas suchan easytarget.

How many movies can you name that parody Saddam?Saddamwas the stereotypical boogeymanAmerica had already been conditioned to hate and despise.After Iraq is rebom in an American inage, democracywill spread through the Middle East, and hopefirlly hatefilled tenorist groups will find no volunteen.

The str'ateS/is not without merit and may very well prove to be the correst courseof action to take againstwhat America perceivesto be her enemies.This was not the given reason for going to war in baq.

Voteyour mind.

Plato'spassionon the cross People often ask me, 'What is the most pressing issue facing the world today?" I respond with the following question.Should the Judeo-Christianmemeb€ constitutedinto Western masspsychologyor shouldit be dissolved?

Platonicrelson canbe viewed as the frst meme to be constituled into Wesiemmasspsychology.

Today, we still believe that humansare different and "better" than nnimels becausehumanshave the ability to reason-this is a direct result of the PlaNick Bahl lOruCmeme.

Columnist The Judeo-Christian memehad beenmarinatingundemeaththe Pla-' tonic meme in Westemnass psycholory since God told Abraham"'"Iake now your son your only son Isaac,whom you love, and offer him there as a bumt offering on one of tbe mountains of which I shall tell yout' - this is possibly a mythic story but mythic storieshave had the pourerto swaymasspsychology.

So what is the JudeoChristian meme?

Using Platonic reasoo, humans came to the conclusionthat everyhumanaction can be split into two categories:l. A.nimalneeds,2. Hunan desire.Animal needsarcfniu (hungeris cured by eating). Human desire is symbolic and infnrle (humansdon't always eat becausethey're hungryor stopeatingwhen they're firll).

When tbe idea ot fi{mity mergedwith the idea of the inilividilal sacrifice of Jesuson the crossfor individual ht;m,an,souls (mythic sto'ry

or not), the Judeo-Christianmane was set in motion on the path of possibly becomingconstituted in Westernmasspsycbology.In shor! the Judeo-Christianmeme mystified (covered up, built upon, but didnl dissolve)the Platonic meme and now Westemhumansappearto be infnitely tudividualisrr'c(selfish)by nature.

Why is this a big deal?Why doesthis matter?Hereinlies the ultimatepolitical divide, and it is here that many questions,problems,solutions, and ethical dilemmasarise.

The primary problem: Human desire (infzrre) appearsin both the Platonic and Judeo Christian m€mes,but is only explolted in the Judeo-Christianmeme. To escapethis selfishnexs (infmite individualism), we must either revert Westemmasspsychologyback to what it was (fzile) before the Platonicmeme(we must losethe "self' of self-consciousness), or destroy every'human carrying this rneme. Should we kill, oonstitute,or revert?

It's easy to see how killing every penon who canies the Judeo{bristian meme is possible, but who's really for that (This is what Hider wasup to, in part)?

It's also easy to see how constituting the Judeo-Christianmemeis possiblein the age of the global capitalist eoonomy,but is this really the way to go (This is what the Westfought and won the C.oldWar for)?

Sincethe WestdefeatedHitler and won the Cold War,is it possibleto stop the spreadof the Judeo-Cbristianmemeor is it too shong (There will be millions dead eitber wan becausethe Judeo-Christiangenn we call capitalism will eventuallylead to a two<lass systemfollowed

by revolution)?

Now we havethe pacifistic option ofreversing the path of Westem 'nass psychology to obtain the sameend, which is lunacy. It is not possibleto be other-consciouswithout first being self-conscious.You must know that a "self' exists if you ar€ to know that an "other" exists.

Capitalismmust be constitutedand then mystified if we are to somehowbecomeother-consciousinsteadof self-conscious, andnow we're backat the optionsofkilling or constituting.

We faceeither: 1. Deathand destnrctionsignificantly worse than World War I. World War II. and the Cold War put togetherif we dissolvethe Judeo-Cbristian memeor, 2. Infnite individualism and a subsequent revolution if we constitutethe Judeo-Christian meme(hereyou can seethat "progr,essives"are moreconservativethan"conservatives').

In the first case,we're hoping (hope can be fatal too) that living as animals is better than how we live now or that other-consciousness can be reachedwithout self<onsciousnessby reverting to animalistic(fnite) life and then becoming other-consciousstraightaway (if we go backto beingunconscious,how will we know to be other-conscious)?

In the secondcase,we're hoping that otherconsciousnessis possible and that it's better than what we have today-nothing but infinite possibilities!

Is Capitalism to Jesuswhat Jesuswas to Plato? Should the JudecCbristian meme be constitut€d into Westem mass psychology or shouldit be dissolved?Do€sit reallv matter?

One of the many things newspapershave to do is get advertisers.Werges picked up Westwordevery weekend and called up its advertisers,asking them to advertisein Tha Metropolitan. Many different restaurantsand nightclubs responded,and ads for $64.95 class rings were also found in the first papers.Time-Life books bought full-page adsaskingfor peopleto work their phonebanks.

Mullen is one Metro graduate who took full advantageof metro's open enrollment policn which hasbeenmaintainedall ofthese years.He was a high schooldrop-out and his careerambitions*eren't all they could be before he cam€to Metro.

Before 1976, tle college was spread throughout downtown Denver in rented buildings. "\Vhen I first came here we called it 'rent-a-campus,"' Schwartzkopfsaid.

During Schwartzkopfs time at Metro, he saw severalstudent pubticationsbegin and end. The idea of staning a new student publication at Metro was tossed Err€r:son Schwartzkopf aroundby him and fellow student SteveWerses.

He and Wergeswere ableto convincethe administrationto fund the projectandoffthey went He said the frst office equipmentandfumishingscameout of a staoewarehouse.They set up shopin the basement ofthe old studentunion and startedhiring.

The idea that we were forming an identity,"

Peter Duray-Bito said his career at The Metrcpolitan beganalmost as a lark. He met Steve Wergesand EmersonSchwartd<opfwhen they were raising funding for the paper."I thought I would just be their photographerand just hang with them, and the next rhing I lnow, we werc ready to go and there was nobody to do paste-up,"he said: In Januaryof 1979,newspaper layout waslitsally donewith scissorsand paste.

The Metropolitan came out on Wednesdays,and the Peter staff would do all-nighten on Duray-9116 Tuesdaysto put it together.The t]rpesetterarrived arormdtwo in the afternoon. and would ':iust start bangingout stuff and we'd get it all pasJedup and next thing we knew, it was thee o'clock ia the moming."

Duray-Bito worked with The Auraria limes, (Metro's newspaperbefore The Mehopolitan) as a photographerin 1978, and becamea photographer for TheMettopolitan the next year. But he did more thanjust takephotographs.

"Everyonehad to wear a kind of advertisinghat to the degreetlat we could. That was alwaysa challenge.As a photographer,I managedto comeup with somegood photo ideasfor people'sads," he said.

Greedis good in the hip-hop world

by Ter€ssaRedding TheMetrcNlitn "Greedis good." The quote,madepopular by the movie "Wallstee!" is usually linked to the ertr€mely wealthy,but in his speech, "Hip Hop : 6xpig"lism?A ConservativeSpin," ReginaldJonesexplainedwhy the quotealso .appliesto the HipHop culture.

Jones,a 20-yearveteranofthe gntertainment industry,recountedthe history of HipHop, which be.ganin his neighborhood,the SouthBronx, and explainedHip-Hop's dependencyon the capitalistsystem,April 8 at the Tivoli Tumhalle.

It may be hard to think of rapperslike JayZ,Trpac, andBiggie,all of whomcamefrom very poor neighborhoodsas greedycapitalists, but Jonespointedout that "without the freetrademarket/capitalism,therewould be no othor way for peoplewho were bom at the bottom to reachthe top," somethingthey and other HipHop artistsmanagedto do.

Growing up whereHip-Hop originated, Jonesgavea narrativeofhis experienceof watchingHi1>.Hopgrow from passingout fliers

"Multirnillionaires are now madefrom a movementthat startedin the SouthBronx.

Jonesdoesn'treflect on the act ofcapitalism with disdain;rather,he doesthe opposite.

Thejoy in his voice as he talked about rappers'clothing lines, rappersacting in movies, rappersopeningtheir own restaurantsor theirown clubs,all addingto their fortunes, showsthat while the rappers'achievementsare increasingevery year,it would not be possible withoutcapialism.

The Metropolitan Stale College of Denver's music departnent is proud to presentthe third annualJazzcelebrationand festival at Metro.

The college, in partnershipwith Denver School for the Performing Arls andDenverPublic Schools,hasbookedseveralnationallyacclaimed performerswho will perform live in the King CenterThursdaythrough Saturdaynight. They havealso teamedup with 89.3KUVO and Frontier Airlines to help with the expensesofthe festival.

All of theseperformerswill host severalfree mini-clinics thmughout thethree-dayperiod.Theseclinics areaimedat educatingpeopleaboutall kindsof musicalstyles,notjustjazz.

The festival's scheduled perfomrers/teachersinclude Metro's 3rd Annual Jazz Fcstival 4/15 - The New York Voic€s,United professional .guitarists, StatesAir Falconaires pianists, percussionists, 4/16- DSA JazzEnsemble, Metro's brassinstument players and MondayNight JazzBand,plus guests choirs, whose styles range 4117- Fac/ultylazzEnsemble,plus guests AU sho$'s$an 7:3Op.m. at King Center from jazz to salsa.

The festival,which hasgrownin size in each of the past two yea6, attracts z musicalandchoralgroupsfrom high schools and middle schools, according to Barr.

Thesegroups perform and then are judged . and given constructivecriticism by actual musiciansin a non-competitive , gnvironment "That way, everyone's leaming all the time," Barr said.

There are.no prizes,just valuable educationfor everyoneinvolved.

The eveningperformancesfeaturea wide arrayofnationally and internationallyacclaimedadists andgroups.

Among the highlights of the performanceside ofthe festival will be legendaryjazz guitarist Larry Coryell, pianist Jim Ridl, The New York Voicesand The Air ForceFalconeers,not to mentionthe SalsaAll-Stars featuringGary Sosiason Sahrday night.

Opposites attract, but how well do oppositessharea stage?

Denver will know after April 20, when the contrastingsoundsof Enon and Pinback cometo theBluebird.

Both bandscould be describedas indie pop,but that'smoreof an indicationof how uselessgenrelabelscanbe, thana statement about any inherent similarities between the two. Beside the fac that they are both obscure bands with small but dedicated followings,there isn't a lot to connectthe two in termsoftheir respective sounds.

Enon is the brainchild of ex-Brainiac gtitarist John Schmersal.Not as edgy or experimentalas his previous band, Enon tradedin the math rock chordprogressions and song structuresfor bigger hooks and a moreaccessible sound.

Over the course of three albums, a handful of singles, and a couple of experimentalworks that saw only lirnited release,Enon has developeda unique and appealingsound.Digesting someof the best

There is a misconception that hip-hop culture promotes and advocatesviolenceMany do not realizethat hip-hop doeshaveprogressivemovements andactivism-The Denverhip-hop that e,ncourage communityawareness scene is no different.

Jeff Campbell,executivedirectorof the Colorado Hip-Hop Coalition, in collaboration with the Eulipion's Fund, will present the Rappers Stopping Violence and Prejudice concert at the Cervantes'MasterpieceBallroom, April 15.

People attending the show should expect io leave enlightened, empowered and encouragedto make a positive change in their comnaunities.

elem6ntsof the past25 yearsof music,they display an uncannyknack for writing songs that soundstrangelyfamiliar and complet€ly fiesh at the sametime. A pronouncednew wave in-fluencecombinedwith the junk pop aestheticsof Beck form the base. To this they add the raq nearly unhingedenergyof classicpunk and the angulartensionof the best indie rock to produce a bizarre retrofuture soundthat's guaranteed,toleave an indelibleimpression.

Pinback'ssound is a different animal altogether. Where Enon is all manic, explosivekineticism,Pinbackis thepensive, chilled-outsideof theequation.

With simple and clean production, laidback vocals and' delicate, restrained instrumentation,Pinbackcreatesa soundthat is quietlyappealing.

Pop,folk andpostrock influences are synthesizedinto something purelytheirown.

Lacking in straight ahead intensity, their songs rely on a senseof movement and a careful balancingof elementsto build

tension. The results come close to creating a new geffe of downtempo indie rock.

Whether this is a good or bad thing is for historyto decide.

It will be interesting to seethemffanslate the clinical cool of tleir three albumsto the stage.Will theyplay straightrenditionsofthe albums'surgicallypreciseandlanguidpop br will they tum the ampsup to l1 (OK, seven in theircase...)andmck out a little?

Betweenthe spasticeclecticismof Enon and the mellow grooves of Pinback, there shouldbe somethingforeveryone along the indie spectrum.Perhaps,like peanut butter and chocolate.these diverse elernentswill one anotherbeautifully;maybe complement' they'll explode like matter and antimatter.

Whateverthe results,it shouldbe a good nme.

On Friday,April 9, the Roadrunnersswept Fort Hays 7-0. The match was clinched after Metrowon their singlesandtheirNo. I doubles play.

Tlead coach Dave Alden was pleasedwith how his teamplayed. He pointedout the effort of fteshmanAnnetteChevarria,who beat Hays' LanaSaggenborg 6-1,6-0.

"She (Chevarria)played rock soli4" Alden said.

Chevarria said mental focus was the main reasonfor her win.

"Everything comestogetherwhen my mind is there."Chevarriasaid.

At the No. 5 singles spot, freshmanTaya Bachmanwasalsosuccessful.

It wasBachman's servesandretumsthat contributedto the 64,63 win over Tiger's TeresaCyre.

'Everybody really played smart and efticient," Alden said.
