Aurarialacesup forAIDS walk Teamraises . moneyfor AIDS education. preventron byMaggieMcMahon ' TheMetuWlitan The Auraria AIDS Walk team fielded more than 60 participants who raised more than $5,000 for HIV/AIDS prevention and care services in the 17ftAnnual AIDS Walk Colorado at CheesmanPark.SundayAug. 22.

"The Auraria AIDS Walk team is here to help raise money for AIDS prevention, education; to celebratewith each other, and to enjoy the team spiril generatedby the event," said La Donna Garcia, vice presidentofstudent ser'"'ices for Metro.

Wearing blue T-shirts designed by Crystal Trujilto and featuring the Tivoli, the Auraria AIDS Walk team joined an estimated crowd of 8,000 on the green lawris of CheesmanPark.

Auraria has sent a team to the AIDS Walk every year since 1989, according to participant Steve Mascaro. reserve librarian at the Auraria Library Mascaro lost a brother, who was a 4o-yearold Holly.wood choreographer,to AIDS in 1992.

The local paper in the hometown of Mascaro's brother, Casper, Wyo., refused to publish an obituary because, according to Mascaro, "nobody ir Wyoming gets AIDS." Since 1989, Mascaro has been among the top fund-raisers and marched in AIDS Walk Colorado every yefi but two; h€ missed one year due to a broken ankle and another because his brother was dying.

"Almost everyone here has been touched personally in one way or another," Garcia said.

"I had a very close family member die of AIDS about l0 years ago," said Billie Marie. a CCD student who participated in the walk. The walk is "something I always wanted to do."

Marie said lots of people lose loved ones to AIDS and that her walking was a way to show her support.

"I had a family friend who died (from AIDS) more than 12 years ago," said Metro student Richard Zamora, who participated and was also the shldent representativefor the AIDS Walk from all three schools at Aurana.

The top five Auraria team fund-raisers shared$500 worth of prizes.

Dorothy Hicks were the top two fimd-raisers.

AIDS Walk Colorado,the largestHIV/AIDS fund-raiserin the Rocky Mountain Region, benefits the Colorado AIDS Project and rnore than 30 other AIDS service and education providers, according to Amy Tekansik, public relations representative for CAP. This year's walk is expectedto raise more than $800,000, which is about half of the $l.4 million raised in the late 1990s at the height of public awarenessof AIDS/HIV and before the economy went into a recession,Tekansik said.

According to statistics from CAP, HIV/ AIDS currently infects an estimated 15,000 Coloradans, 800,000 Americans living in the US, and over 40 million people worldwide.

Over half a million Americans have died of the disease.and the rate of new infections in the US increased in 2003 for the first time in 10 years.

The lack of education about H{V is more dangerous than anything, according to Grand Marshall Carlv Jibson- current star of

Broadway's "Hairspray."

With infection rates on thc rise. the AIDS

pandemic is not expectedto peak worldwide for another 50-60 years, according to CAP

"It really gives us the opportunityto be the best studentgovemmentpossible," she said regardingMetro's membershipwith ASGA. With the membership, Metro's student govemmenthas accessto the ASGA database, which helpsthem find the bestsolutionsto problemsthat commonlyplaguestudentgovernment officials.

"Essentialln what he (Oxendine)doesis he is an expert in the areaof studentgovemment and he was helping make us more effective 1 r' advocatesfor the studentbody," said Beth Ott, SGAVice Presidentfor Communications.

Oxendine also offered the group construcbyLindsay Sandham tive criticism regardingtheir imageon campus, the history of Metro's SGA and how past stuIheMenooolitnn dentgovemmentsaffectthe imageofthe current All 13 members of Metro's Student SGA, saidOtL GovernmentAssembly retreatedto the mountains outside NederlandAug. 6-8 to discuss and work on issues such as the b€st way to r€presenta diverse studentbody, and the relationship between student govemment and the administration.

The SGA hosted guest Butch Oxendine, Executive Director of the American Student Government Association, who offered his expertisebasedon the study of studentgovemmentsnationwide.

It cost $5,000of the SGA budgetto bring Oxendineout for the weekend.The SGAbudeet comesfrom studentaffairs fees.

"We knew it was kind of steepbut we were looking for someoneto cater to our personal needs,"said CandaceGill, SGA president.

ASGA is the only studentgovemmentassociation in the country, accordingto Gill, and it is still a fairly new orgaaizationthat has been growing constantlysince is launchlast year.

The reheat was held at a private residence and was organizedby SGA presidentCandace Gill and Vice Presidentfor Academic Affairs JessicaGreiner.

Ott said the retreat was held at a private residencein order to saye student fee money so there is more available for general student outreach.

Oxendine also analyzed the relationship between shrdent govemment and the student body,aswell asthe relationshipbetweenshJdent govemmentandthe administration,accordingto

on.

All thirteen membersof SGA took a '"Iest Your Administrators" test during the retreat, which is an evaluationby studentgovernment members of the administrafion's ability and willingnessto work with the SGA. According to Gill, Metro's current interim administration received an overall low score, with questionssuchas "doesthe administration seekSGA input on important issues,"or "does the administrationconsult with SGA regarding delegationof studentfees."

Gill saidthe SGA is working to improvethe relationshipwith the administration.They have also beenworking with Metro interim president Ray Kieft regmdingSG,{s autonomy.

"It's vital that the SGA work with administration but still be autonomous," Ott said.

'Autonomy is the be-all and end-all to representationof students."

One ofthe goalsof the membersof the current SGA. who were all voted into office last spring, is to get Metro studentsmore involved.

"This SGA really wants student involvement on all levels," Ott said. *But frankly right now there's not many spots for studentsto be involved."

A neo poliry banningcampingon campus has upset membersof a Metro studentactivist group that held a 'peace camp"protestin opposition to the U.S.led invasion oflraq last yefi.

The Auraria Higher Education Center armouncedthe policy in May after they had examinedsimilar policies at otherColoradocolIegesand universitiesand determinedit should be a policy at the Auraria campus.

DeanWolf, AHEC ExecutiveVice President for Adminishation, said the policy was enacted due to the lack of sanitationfacilities andpolice resourcesto ensurethe safetyofpeople camping ovemighton campus.

"We just don't have the resourcesto main. tain a suitable level of health and safety for overnightguests,"Wolf said Accordingto the polict campingis defined as "the use of Auraria campus facilities or groundsfor living acconmodationsor housing purposessuchas ovemight sleepingor making preparationsfor ovemight sleeping."

Wolf said those not affrliated with the campus who don't comply with the policy would likely be arrestedfor trespassing,while studentswho violate the policy would likely be referred to the student conduct deparbnentof their schoolMembersfrom CreativeResistance.a Metro snrdentorganization,campedout in tentsaspart of a 'peace camp" event for about three weeks in March, 2003 to protestthe war in lraq. Some membersof the group believethe AHEC policy was influencedin part by their protestevent.

LindseyTrout, CreativeResistancemember, co-founderandMetro student,said shewas disappointedin the decisiorn,but understandswhat the Auraria adminisFationis trying to do.

'I feel that the administration is making an effort to anticipateforms of studentdissent which may, in their opinion, come acrossas

unseemly,"Trout said.

She also said while she.seesthe ban as a limit to free speech,she wants to maintain a positive relationship with Metro and campus administration.

"I love my school and I happen to be a shrdentactivist, but I'm not at war with people just trying to do their job," shesaid."But when people try to limit free speech,in an effort to simplifr theirjobs,justbecause theydon't want to dealwith the rnessiness of free speech-that's a problem."

Trout feels the adminishation made the policy becauseit seesthe group as a 'huisance,"which disappointsher becauseshefeels CreativeResistanceshouldbe appreciatedas a strongaspectof the local community.

"I would hope that membersof the administration would want to suppoft the small numberof studentsat the Auraria campuswho are passionatelyinterested.who are passionately involved with creatingpositive political change."

Over the summer,the adrrinistration also createda policy that prohibits amplified events near the Flaglole area at the southeastcorner of the Plazabuilding, which the adrninistration considersthe academiccenter of the campus.

It would prevent events such as rallies where microphonesand loudspeakersare used.

Creative Resistance member and Metro stud€DtMil@l Stone says he feels both new policiei rine sttcryts to stifle fiee speechon campnsbecansemtry campusgroups, including Creative Resistaoce,brve held rallies near the Flagpolearea.

"These new levels of bureaucracyallow a whole new setofpeople to put vetoeson whether or not we haverallies," Stonesaid.

Barb Weiske,Director of StudentAuxiliary Servicesand chairpersonof the Guidelinesfor Useof Facilities,(GUF),saidthe GUF committee recommendeda modification to an existing policy basedon faculty and administrativecomplaints aboutdisturbanceto classes.

"One of the chargesGUF has is to try to fmd some eventsthat are essentialto campus life and ensurethey don't disrupt academics," Weiskesaid.

Under the policy, only amplifred ev€otss€t up through the studentactivities deparhent of the respectivecollege would be permitted rear the Flagnle areaWeiskealso said the amplified went policy is not designedto limit the activities ofstudents, but to simply avoid disnrbing any classesthat may be going on or any other academicactivines.

"Everybody really acknowledgesthe need for every type of activity on campus,"she said. "lt's notjust aboutpolicy,it's that group(GUF) recognizesthe needto ensurethat there'sa proper environmentfor soecialeventsto occur in."

Stonesaid he feels the policies are, in part, an attackon CreativeResislanceand was disappoint€d studentshad no sayin the matter.

'There shouldhavebeena little bit of delibet3tbn with the students,"he said."At leastwe *onld bavebeenable to give someinput."

The GUF committeehasalso askedto look at th€ camping policy and will recommend changes if they feel they need to be nade, WeiskesaidThe committee has also recommendedto Facilities Use and Planningthat the RTD tumaround at the southeastcomer of the Tivoli be relocatedcloser to the North Classroombuilding to allow for a studentunion courtyardarea where all sorts of student functions could be held.

More students equal more money Metro hits " erlrollment record;fees remaln same

Preliminary numbers show enrollment at 20,992, which is an increaseof762 students,3. I percent over last year's final total of20,230.

It appears the grouth is due to a larger number of contiauing students rather than new freshmen or transfers.

With the increase in students. full-time enrollment has increased as well.

Brian Glotzbach, Student Govemment The proposaldied this pastSpringbecause Assembly Vice President for Student Fees, said although there are not significant increases in student fees, students must become aware of where those fees go and how they are being spent.

"The majority of students have no idea of where their fees are going," Glotzbach said.

"Our job is to make them aware and make sure the fees are being spent appropriately."

Glotzbach's responsibility is oversight for student fees and accountability of those fees as well as r€presenting students regarding the fees.

Lefs go votefor'Americanldol' Approximately 65 million votes were cast for 2O(X's"American Idol" which aired on Fox Television. The seasonfinale attracted more viewers of any entertainment show all season.

For the relatively small population not familiar with the shoq *American ldol" is another piece of reality klevision where viewers get to look in at 'teal" peoples' lives. "Idol" is Heather Wahle set in talent-show style, ----effiet where undiscovered singers audition and perform in competitionwith "alents" for the title "American Idol." The performers are initially judged by a selectedpanelof three,but the ultimatedecisionofwho is deemed"Idol" restson the Americanviewing audience.

Viewersare allowed to vote for the contestant they seeworthy of the title by text messaging or calling Fox's l-800 numberand entering the nameof the performerthey feel shouldwin.

The winner is the contestantwho stays in the game the longest, and receivesthe necessary votes by the audience."The American ldol" winner receiveslbe yize of a record conFact, and of coursetle farre and marketingoppornrnilies ofbeing on the show itself.

Apparently,we Americansreally careabout which singer is going io be allowed an albun opportunity and eam the title of becomingour "Idol" that year.

Approximatelyonly 5l percentofregistered voters, 105 milliol 4agricats, cast their vote in the 2000 presidential election. The United StatesCensusBureauprojectedthat 206 million Americanswere eligible to vote in 2000.

For those who are not familiar with the process,legal residentsof the United Statesof America who are 18 years of age or older are eligible to vote. Voting in the electionsis part of the democraticprocess.Whenpeoplevote, they haveinput in the selectionof electedoffrcials.

These50,0fi) dismissedvotesincludedsomeby voterswho were legally eligible to vote.

The controversy surrounding the 2000 presidentialelectionpromptedthe passingofthe Help America VoteAct proposingthat electoral reform be made. The act preempteda request that the United Statesfederal govemmentprovide fundsto updatethe voting system.

The old, mechanical voting system was pmposedto be updatedwith electronic equipment. Tbis has led to speculationof whether an electronicmethodwill be entirely accurate.

Computer systernshave security weaknesses, which may afect the integrity of voting privacy, and without paper ballots verification is sacrificed.

Let's not forget "The American Idol" 2004 election controversy.Many allegationsflew that the resultswere of a racially biasednature.

Also, many potential voters complained they werenot evengiventhe oppomrnityto exeacise their right to vote for "American Idol." Viewers encounterednumerousbusy signalsbecausethe l-800 numbersFoxprovidedwerenot equipped to handlethe overwhelmingamountof votes.

There is a national problem when close to half of the eligiblevotingpopulationis actually

registeredto vote. There is a national problem when only half of all registeredvoten actually casta ballot for the Presidentof the Unired States.

There is a national problem when a talent show's voting controversy wins more media attention then a presidential election's voting controversy.There is a national problem when the talent show voting population is rivaling in numbers that of the voting population of America.

Maybe a solution to both problemswould be to combine the 2004 PresidentialElections with "Anerican Idol Ultimate." Let's put these performersto the test. Combineall the '1alents" of the previous 'Idol" winners and make them competeagainstone another.

Simultaneously,a second-stageact could be the presidential elections where political candidatesvie againstone anotherin their own competitionof what they can do for America.

I canjust pictureit: Kelly Clarkson,Ruben Studdardand FantasiaBarrino baftling it out while on the sidelines,John Kerry, GeorgeW. Bush, and Ralph Nader are competingwith vlgor.

Who will win the "American Idol Ultimate?" Who will be the next Presidentof the United States?At the end, the two winners couldsinga songtogether

I read somewhere many years ago that the average citizen in any industrializedsociety spends,on average,eight yearsof their lifetime standing in line. Wanting something, the glazedover look of this typical citizen rationalizesto himself that if a hundred other people are waiting and wanting the same thing then it surely must be important. Important enough to suffer for.

The Department of Motor Vehicles, the movie theater, and of course. the Financial Aid Office in the Central Classroom are placeswhere onejust doestheir time. A fraction of the vast expanseof eight years,which is massivein human terms.

by Svetlana Guinwa neMefroqolitan There is a land in the heart of Africa where the blazing sun in a clear blue sky dries up the earth with merciless persistence, forming cracks wide enough to swallow the last hopes of a harsh existence; a land where the Nile overflows, unfiiendly, leaving swamps behind, and mut a land where lions and crocodiles with no regard to human life rule.

Just as the dry season alternates with the wet season,people of this land live in perpetual battle with the forces of nature, overcoming despair and hardships through the joy of labor. Cattle are worshiped as a main source of life, songs are sung, and dances are danced with the unbreakable energy of free spirits

mergingwith that samenature.

One day, the clear blue sky darkenswith planespregnantwith death.The bombs fall, whizzing,silencethe joyfirl singingvoices, but extract ungodly screaming;a fire licks the heavens.

One night, grmshotswaken sleepy eyes and fill them rrith horror: the rifles flicker in the dark, sowing bullets in innocentflesh.

a notefrom the editors and staffof the musicsection Introductionscan be heli. Ceftainly writing this one has left us a little weary. We're not usually so self-indulgentas to composea letter just from the editor(s),but it seemsappropriate this once.

The musicsectionis changingand nol just in therenaming.

Wait. Let us startoverMusic writers, and usually readers,tend to be audiophiles.Albums are obsessively alphabetized;Top Five lists are traded like baseballcards;musicmagazines aretreatedlike bibles.Frankly,we're music geeks.The only thing that keepsus from feeling like total nerds is that we know that there are others out there just as fanatical about thâ&#x201A;Ź recordedmedium as we are.

And becauseof this, the music sectionhas to evolve.

We'retired of beinghypemachines.We're not going to settle for being amateur public relations flacks any longer. We're striking out into the unlmown and we haveno idea where it will takeus. But, we'vemadeenoughnix tapes to keepus moving.

Music brings people together. It creates subculturesand identities. Lifestvles. fashion

America is a counffy of diversity and multicultural wealth, where people of all racesand culhrreslive, work and play. But, you'd never know it from listening to the radio.

The cultural identity of pop music is rigidly, alrnostmf3ilingly, Anglo-American.

English languagesingersand rappersare so ubiquitousit would be easyto concludethat it's the only languagespokenon the planet.

Artists frorn outsidethe U.S. or U.K. are so rare they shouldbe collectible.Judgingfrom what's playedon the radio and MTV, no one could be blamedfor assumingthat theseare the only two countrieson lhe globethat even havepop music.

But they'renot.

With literally a world of influenceto draw fiom, you'd think popularmusicin a country as diverseas ours would display a wider rangeof influences.

Sure,rock,jazz andhiphopallsharecommonrootsin Africanmusic. but thesehave been thoroughlyintegrated and Americanized,temperedby Western musicaltraditionsandstrippedof any sortof , cultural context.

A few artiss, such as David Byme, have inteeratedelementsof'lrorld music"

trends, even political movements coalesce aroundit.

More than entertainment,music is a primal force. It reachesdeep within us and touches somethingessential.Life would be unbearable withoutit.

The point is, music is an all-consuming passionfor us and we want to expressthat. This year, we'll be taking some chances,reaching for somethingbiggerthan the detailsof who's comingto town, who's got a new CD out, or which bandsbroke up. We'll still be covering thosethings,but our emphasisis shifting and

into their repertoire.Once every generation or so, someonelike Bob Marley will break through and makeAmericansawarethat the world is a slightly larger place than they'd previously imagined. Still, artists like these are the exceptionto the rule, rare spicesi-o an otherwisenniform and all too fiequently bland diet That's why it is so refreshing to see artists from outsidethe Anglo-Americanpop hegemonyappearon the sceneand achieve OnAug. 29,Denver somemeasureof success. will get a chanceto samplesomethingspicier ftan the usualfarewhen OzomatliandKinkv play the ParanountTheafre.

Hailing from Monterrey,Mexico, Kinky fusesits Latin rootswith rock andelectronica to synthesizea uniquely appealing hybrid style.Driving, fimky beatswith a pronounced Latin influencearemixed up with fuzzed-out guitarsand squiggly,vintagesounding,acid synthlines.

Vocals are a mixture of Spanishand English but they take a back seat to the groove,leavingeveryonefree to enjoy the music, even if their knowledgeof Spanish is limited to the Taco Bell menu. The end result is appealing,accessibleand irresistibly

widening to include the less tangible aspectsof the musical experience.

You might be wondering what exactly that wondering the means. Don't worry-we're same thing. It'll be a lot of firn finding oul We do have a few solid goals in addition to our somewhat nebulous desire to capture more of the passion we feel for music. We want to cover local bands and events more frequently than we've done in the past. We'll be looking hard at the culture ofmusic and the way it affects people's lives.

Death to Musicl Long live the Audiophiles!

tunLf. Ozomatli are from Los Angeles, but musically,they're all over the mapin the best possible way. Describedon their Web site as "Afro-Latin-and-beyond style-mashers," they take the best elements of diverse musical traditions and use them to forge a fearlessand exciting sound that defies easy categorization.

A synthesisof Latin and hiphop styles comprisethe basic soundbut it doesn't stop there by a long shot. On their latest album, Street Signs, collaborations with a jaz, pianist, a Moroccan sintir player, and the PragueSymphonywere feab.rred.

Such a diverse blend might seem a challenginglisten-and it can be--+ut make no mistake: Ozomatli know how to rock a dance flooq and anyone that can't find somethingto groove to is surely lacking the essential funk gene.

Looking aheadto new season Welcomebackeveryone!I hopeall ofyou had a wonderful summer.

I would like to say how my summerwent, but I've got muchto say and not much spacein which to sayit .. . so with that let's startwith the fall nreview.

Donald Smith SportsColumnisl

Volleyball Last season's record: 27-6, 18-l RMAC; seasonended in Regional Toumament.

Players to watch: Sheena Mclaughlin, Stefanie Allison and Renee Hazlewood. The three of them are the most experienced players on the team in Head Coach Debbie Hendricks' system.

complements to each other. Pyke and Otter shut down the opposition's attacks, Guante can either push the ball up field to Leichliter or score herself, and Leichliter has the ability to turn any open field through-ball into a break-away goal.

The one question I have about this team: Can they win it this year? This team continues to play excellent soccer but for some reason seem to have their dreams snatched away at th€ last minute. This team has the talent and the personnel to win it all, but will they?

My personal opinion: The woman's soccer team has been a dominant force in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference, but with a tougher schedule that includes out of conference opponents like: Cal-State-Bakersfreld, Northeastem State (Okla.), Central Oklahoma and Texas A&M Commerce and NebraskaOmaha, can the Roadrunners repeat an undefeated regular season?

e

Although none of them are seniors,they will haveto leada teamof playerswho are similar in everythingexcepttime spentin a Metro uniform.

The one questionI have aboutthis team: Can they win the regional tournament?This teamseeminglyis a lock to makethe regional playoffs,but their dominance duringdreregular seasonand conferenceplayoffs don't seemto carqrover into the regionals.

My penonalopinion:I thinknew fieshman setterGabrielleCuniswill be oneofthe keysto this team'ssuccess.

If sheplays as well as her All-Americanpredecessor Devon Henon, this teammight havea shotat not only going to, but possiblywinning the regionaltoumament.

Men's Soccer Last Season's record: l3-7-5, 5-5-2 RMAC; season ended after winnning the RMAC ChampionshipToumament.

Players to watch: Antonio Porras, Aldo Alcaraz-Raza and David Gordon. These three could have big seasonsthis year becausethey're athletic, highly skilled and determined to make something happen every time they touch the ball.

The one question I have about this team: Can they win the big regular season games?

This Metro men's team, despite winning the conference toumament in dramatic fashion, was denied an NCAA toumament bid because of losses to regioDal opponents Fort Lewis, Women'sSoccer Midwestern State (Texas), lncarnate Word Last season's record: 21-l-1, 14-0 (Texas) and CU-Colorado Springs. Winning the RMAC; the season ended after suffer- big regular seasonganoesagainst rcgional oppoing their only. loss of the year in the nents is the key o entering the toumament.

My penonal opinion: I'm not too sure right Quarterfinals of the NCAA Tournament.

Players to watch: Amy Leichliter, Ymara now' New men's coach Ken Parsons is sinilar Guante,Meisha $ke and Elin Otter. Theseare to women's head coach Danny Sanchez as they four players to watch becausethey are great both have coached at Mesa Community College
