Auraria Young Democrats co-president Nathan Pittman looks on as a student talks at the group's first meeting of the semesteron Scpt. I outside the Tivoli, Guestsdiscussedwhat theywould like to seethe Young Democrats do in the future and what issuesmatter most to thern asyoung people.

A cascadeof red, white and blue balloons fall upon those gathered at Madison Squar€Garden Thursday after President Bush's acceptancespeech at the Republican National Convention. Metro student and Auraria College Republican Danielle Robinson went to the convertion as an alternate delegate.

by Clayton Woullard The Two new Democratic student groups have sprung from betweenthe crack in the proverbial political sidewalk of the Auraria campus this yearwith the aim of registeringand educating collegestudents.

While the Auraria Young Democrats and the Democratsof Auraria may sharebasically the samename and political beliefs,their goals area bit different.

Angie Knepell, co-presidentof Auraria YoungDemocratsand a Metro student,saidfor the short term, her group is looking to inform and registeryoung voters and, hopefully, rally themto votefor D€mocraticpresidential candidateJohn Kerry Nov. 2.

"Long term is to take the motivation we've seenon campusso far and keepit goingpastthe election cyclesand keep them (young people) informed on issuesthat affecttheir friends and their loved onesj'Knepell said."We want to encourageactiveparticipation in our countryt policiesand politics."

Shesaid young peopleshoulclvote for Sen. Kerry becausePresidentBush fralkly doesnot representthe young peopleof the U.S. "I think that Bushabsolutelyhasbeenworking againstthe majority of young people,"she said."Bush doesnot representthat generation; he representsa generation that's much more stayed.I think that this generation is much more tolerant," Shesaid it's important to provide information about lGrry to college students because much of what is said about him in the media and by the Republicansis not accurate.

'What we want to do is givethem the info so they dont just havea one-sidedview of what's going on in the counuy and who lGrry is," she said.

NathanPittman, co-presidentofthe Auraria Young Dcmocrets and a Metro studert, said while the goup's nameimplies that ids only for peopk of a etain agegroup, it's really for ary colhge studcnt "I think anybody on a college campus should feelyoung,' Pitrman said."Evenif pu're 87 pars old, if pdre lcemin6 pu re pung

Yvonne Radcliffe, president of the Democrats of Auraria and a Metro student, said while her group will obviously be supporting Kerry and the other Democratic candidates, their main focus will be to get college students interested and involved in the political process, especially when it comes to legislation affeaing their lives.

"I think thar a lot of students dorlt understand the political process," Radcliffe said, "and in order to get students out there to vote, we need to inform them and educate tlem on tlre different choices they have when they go to the booth to vote."

She also hopes to inform students about both the Democratic and Republican candidates so they can decide for themselves.

"I also think it's important for our group to inform students not only about the Democratic candidates but about the Republican candidates as well so students know what policies these candidates represent," she said.

Alan Franklin, a Metro junior, attended the first Young Democrats of Auraria meeting last Wednesday outside the Tivoli and said while he doesnl necessarily like Kerry, he feels he's the better altemative.

"People understand that Kerry is an equivocal candidate," Franllin said. "He is the only viable alternative to the worst presidency of the U.S." He said he wishes the Democratic groups on clmpus had come out sooner because they would've been able to provide a voice ofdissent, specifically to the Auraria College Republicans.

'The Democrats not being here has caused a lot of damagei he said. "They would've been able to (offer) another voice."

Knepell said she is glad the College Rq>ublicans have a presence on campus because it createsa balanc€.

'I think it's healtlry to have a balanced perspective on campus" Knepell said. "I think that anyom who is rrorking through a political party. . .should have a prescncc on campus' Redcliffe said she agrees 'I hope dlat wb€n the majority of thc elections are oy€r we can work togedier," she said of the Collcge Republicans. "I hope prior to the elections we can ccbedule some tyF ofdebate,'

"lt (the experience)brought me a great respectto thosewho servein the government," Robinsonsaid.

Shesaid ihe feelsthe mediacoverageof the The 2004-05 academicyear opens in debate protestersat the RNC wasa bit overblown. and fair game for student voters, as the Auraria "I didn't seeany coverageon CNN---or very College Republicans get ready for election day little of-Republican protestorstrying to get in political and new opposition. at the DemocraticNational Convention."

CU Boulder students rush field after close victory Mere seconds after the Colorado Buffaloes defeated the Colorado State Rams 27 -24 at Folsom Field on Saturday, Sept. 4, CU students stormed the field to celebrate the victory.

Three hundred security guards stood idly by as a mass of students enjoyed the victory with the football players.

Despite an announcement urging the record crowd of 54,954to stav in their seats, many choseto head straight to the goalposts.

Unfortunately for students, in 1990, CU adopted a policy of removing goalposts immediately after the game.

Saturday night, security had the posts completely dismantled before the crowds were able to get to them.

According to CUPD, eight students were arrested,while 52 were ejectedfrom the game, rnostly for disorderly conduct.

In addition to the fans, the familiar sight of marshmallows, paper airplanes, bottles, small flask, even pieces of hot dog and stranded shoes also made it into the south end zone Saturday night.

._ I!,e]\49JPP-9l,Ifl The Society of Professionalfournalists is holding their annual convention in New York City, N.Y. Sept.9-I l Metro has an SPJstudent chapter, for which Metro professor Deb Hurley is faculty advisor.

She has been a member since 1977. This vear, Hurley is running for SPf Regional Director.

The organization has 12 regions in the nation and Colorado sits in Region 9. Metro has four student members attending the conferencethis Year.

SPJ is an organization for all journalists, Hurley said. "We tend to be for the working journalist. There are other focused organizations for editors and such, but SPJis an umbrella organization with our primary mission dealing with Ethics, Freedom of Information, accessto records and rneetings and diversity," One of the unique aspects of SPJ is that it is made up of both students and professionals.

SPf began in 1909 as a fraternity out of DePauw University in Greencastle,Ind. It developed from a fraternity to a college-based organiz:tion, to a professional organization and has always kept that student base,Hurley said.

"SP| firmly believesthat student joumalists will be professional journalists one day and the relationship that SP] provides between the pros and the studentsis important," she said.

One of the largest student chapters in the

siTIJDENT

on is that the faculty have been or are currently professionalsin their respectivefields, who teachwriting, editing, photojournalism, public relations and layout and design.

"One of our strengthsis all of our faculty are or were working in journalism. We don't want people who are going to teach theory, we want people to teach in this program that have worked in the field professionally becausewe feel that is very important to our students," Hurley said.

Hurley has been teaching at Metro since 1987 when the program first became its own department. Originally, the journalism program fell under the English Departmentt command. fournalism now falls under the Department of Communications, Arts and Sciences,which is now Metro's largestacademicdepartment.

Hurley is one of three firll-time facultf in the journalism program. This semester,there are a total of 24 firll and part-time faculty on staff. More than half of them are currently working for local publications like The Roclcy Mountain News,Detwer Postand, Wesn+'ord.

The fournalism program is offering a new course this semester: Investigative Reporting.

David Migoya, an investigative reporter for The Denver Post,t@ches the course. Migoya has been a guest speaker for some of Metro's journalism classesin the past.

" Metnoroches recordenrollment

by DanaJ. Parker TheMetropolitan The number of Metro students enrolled for the Fall 2004 semester is a new record, ahhough official figures will not be available until the Sept. 8 census date, the end of the period in which classesmay be dropped and added without penaltr.

Xnrollment at Metro has increased each semester for the past l0 semesters,according to Director of Admissions Bill Hathaway Clark.

'This reflects the value that Metro has and shows that we continue to thrive. We are more and more a viable option for the citizens of Denveri Clark said.

According to Clark, the unofficial Fall 2004 semester enrollment of 20,962 students, as of Sept. I, reflects a predicted tn"o to three percent increase.

Clark said the increase in enrollment is largely due to the number of continuing students, not incoming freshman. In fact, he said, incoming freshmen number only about 2,000, a figure that has stayed relatively steady in recent years.

He speculated that registration rates are affected by the economy-in a booming economic period, registration goes down, and when the economy is struggling registration goes up.

Despite the steady increase in enrolbnent, few problems have been reported.

"I think we had an excellent rush. There were some lines, but they were manageable and moved quickly and smoothly," said Jerie Bray, store manager of the Auraria Campus 'We Bookstore. had some shortages, but we did second-day air and ovemight to meet students' needs. We havent had a huge problem running out of books because we worked with faculty and departments to know in advance when they added sections due to increased enrollment."

At the Auraria Child Care Center, Administrative Assistant Francine Alvarado reported no noticeable increase in enrolbnent over last semester.

"We're almost full, but not over-enrolled," Alvarado said. "We re full in toddlers, but there are spaces available in pre-school and kindergarten."

The registrar's offlce reported no dfficulties with the record number of registrations.

"If we didn't have MetroConnect, I think we would have had problems. It's one of those things that certainly services students," said Registrar Tom Gray- "I've been doing this not, for 32 years and it keeps meaning lessand less studentsare coming to seeus. Fortunately there are no more lines. Before Metroconnect, registration lines would go up to thâ&#x201A;Ź second and third floors."

against women does not just start with rape, It is rernarks and sexual fostered when men get away with disgrsting -Zoti Williams harassment."

(JPINIONSI Militaryservicea requirement?

To run the United States,one must undisputedly be a leader. How important is it that the leader of our country be an awardedmilitary hero? If the candidatehad serious doubts on the justification of the war, would you rather they speak out, or stifle any feelingswhatsoever for the sakeof good press?Does military expenenceSuarantee leadershipin the White House?

Recently,fohn Heather Wahle Kerry's military history C"l"*"ist has received massive public attention and intense scrutiny. Kerry served in the Vietnam War as a member of the Navy- Mr. Kerry volunteered to be stationed in Vietnam and was awarded a Silver Star, Bronze Star, and three Purple Hearts for his injuries inflicted during wartime.

After his service, Kerry also protested against the war and spoke ofthe horrors he fuced while fi ghting overseas.

Many refer to Kerry's protest of the Vietnam War as "un-American."

If arything, taking responsibility for our actions in foreign policy is American- If it offended you to hear the young Kerry's descriptions of what was going on overseas during the Vietnam War, try to imagine how experiencingthem firsthand at the time would affect you.

The validitv of thesepurple hearts is also what is often scrutinized.I sympathizelvith veteransthat feel that their courageousacts were unnoticed. It is likell' that Kerry, as some more affluent members of the military, has receivedmore attention than other veterans.

Refocusand examine t}le facts as medals aren't the only thing in question here.

Kerry led the Vietnam VeteransAgainst the War coalition and appealedto Congress about his experienceswhi.leserving.Although John Kerry protestedthe rvar and had doubts about the war, he did not take serving his country lightly. Instead of fleeing the draft, Kerry enlisted.lnstead of taking a plush office job or dropping out of generalduty, he servedon the front line. Not only did he serve,he led bravely, rescuing a Green Beret and getting wounded on numerous occasions.

There have been many war heroes who have served the country valiantly and have gone unnoticed. Maybe they deserved Purple Hearts, yet never received them. I'm sorry for all those veterans who feel cheated from proper recogplease don't cheat yourself into nition-but voting againsta presidentialcandidate simply

Second-Class Citizens The following is a true story-The names havebeenchangedto protectthe innocent.

I dare you, pick a campusoffice.Walk in the door and askfor the personin charge(you

becausethey were brave,but not as brave as you in the war, and they stole that damn medal ftom you. ln all fairness,giveequalattentionlo PresidentGeorgeW. Busht military career.

Bush enlisted into the Air National Guard and receivedhis wings in Juneof 1970.He committed to giving the necessarytime, training, and active duty until 1974.

Taxpayersfunded severalhundred thousandsof dollars to train Bush to fly for the military. Throughout the four yearsof service he was accreditedto 68 days of active dutv. It is hard to determine how many of those days where spent actually flying.

In fact, when Bush was working to defend the country during the Vietnam War he was working statesidein a postal branch, non-plane facilitr. He did not meet the time commitment he promised to the Guard while employed at the post office. Young George W. Bush logged an entire 12 months from May I, 1972to April 30, 1973without serving a single day at the oftice working for the Guard. Commanding

officers falsified?ecordsas to when he was fulfilling his duties and ignored the fact that he never attended drill. In actualitl', Bush was working on campaignsin Washington and other such non-military related duties.

Many feel military experienceis neededin order to be the Presidentof the United States.

Wartime in particular, is a time in which a fast decision making processand expertisein leadership while sering the country could prove usefirl. However,is it particularly essential?

Franklin D. Rooseveltand Abraham Lincoln lead the country with skill at wartime without the military on their resumes.

Political muck-raking is often hard to ignore. For example,GeorgeW. Bush'sWeb site has,on its home paBe,attackson Kerry's miiitary history. I propose that presidential candidatesfocus more attention on policies and reform than eliminating the competitionWhen following this campaign, I suggest that the miJitary history of the candidatesnot be at the forefront of the decision-making process,

know, the person whose door says "Director," or "AssociateV.P.,"or maybe even "Vice President").

I double-dareyoul!! Ask to meet with this person.

Betcha I know what'll happen.

You see, last week I walked into an office BethOtt (l won't say which one) St Ert G"* ^*t with a big problem. When no one would help me, I asked to speak to the director, and was told ... are you ready... get this ... "The director doesn't meet with students."WHAT?!? Maybe I need to clean out my ears.Doesn't meet with rvhom? Stewardesses?

Shepherds?Remind me again-where do you work? WHO DO YOU SER\T?!? t Now, I wasn't asking to meet with the Director o off laundrv Services,or the Denver Squirrel PreservationUnit (DSPU), I was asking to meet with the director of a vital service, which AIL studentsusel To make matters worse, this office is funded by MY STUDENT FEES and the director, who makesmore than $65,000 a year,"doesn't meet with students."

Call me craz,v(and some do), but last time , I checked,we had this revolutionary concept"shared governance."It may sound like a blr* word, stuffed into a paper to make the 800-word requirement, but I believe it means something.

So do the Trustees- they thought it up! At the very least, it should mean students are more than an afterthought-better than second-class citizens."Doesn t meet with students."

Once upon a time, an administrator told .

StudentGovernment,"My door is open to you now. which isn t ffue for most students."Excuse me? Aren't you administering a collegel Not a textile company; not an accounting firm; not a tire store,or a donut shop, or the neighborhood grocer.A collegel I hate to break it to you, but this particular collegeis overrun with students.

They're everywherel Itt like a plague! If your ' door isn't open to students,then to whom is it open?"Doesn't meet with students."

Try it! I dare you! And let me know what you find! Pick your favorite-or least favorite---campus office, and tell me what happens at mscd-sga@rnscd.edu If you get somewhere,send me an e-mail and I will send students their way. If you dont .. . maybe it's time for a change!

Nice guys just aren'tgood enough Sweral days ago at a newsstand in Kansas,I learned the news I had been expecting and dreading to hear for months. The Kobe Bryant casehas been dropped at the womart's request after the court and the media butchered her. Kobe Bnant more or lessconfessed.

After being hunted down by tabloid media vampires and being dubbed Americat official "Looney McSlutty" (to quote so-called liberal television . star Bill Maher), I cannot blame the woman for finally Zoâ&#x201A;Ź Williams Dowlng OUI. I pul no Guest Columnist blame on her, and believe

her more than ever. I place my blame on Kobe Bryant, (I'm sure his apology for her not being 'consensual" healed a lot of aware his rape was wounds). I blame the legal system that places women on trial and jeopardizestheir rvelfare.I blame the strongly supported systemof patriarchy,and thosewho refirseto fight it.

Women havebeen protesting and mobilizing for months, specificallyin Colorado, to end rape.

I'm beginning to noticâ&#x201A;Ź something rather curious, though. The only men I have seenwith us are the usual activist suspectshaving to double their energies to compensate for the rest of their apathetic sex.

Listen up, boys. Rape is not iust yiolence againstwomen: it is, as fackon Katz says,ment violence against women. We are seeing gender

persecution in this nation, and the massesare sickeningly comfortable sitting by and watching siding with celebrity scumbags ftom their overstuffed couches.

Rape is a crime against humanity and an all-out assault against women's autonomy. This needs to be crystal dear. It is time the "nice guys" of the country quit confining thei feminism to internal righteousnessand start acting.

Violation againstwomen does not just start with rape. [t is fosteredwhen men get awaywith disgusting remark and sexual harassment. It starts when the fluf& side of the feminist movement sits idly by while the fashion and sex industries destruct women at their profit. It begins when America is too busy clinging to People Magazine's special report of the Kobe Bryant ,.

case rather than realizing that we are dealing with a human being who has been violated and dehumanized.

Apologies no longer suffice. Personalpurity is not enough. We women have to tread water every day of our lives, and it is time men quit riding their male privilege and join in.

Let this be a wake-up call, men.

Sex is becoming a weapon against womenIf you want relationships with us, be it sexual, social, romantic, or otherwise, you must fight with us. Ifyou are not taking action now, you are not a feminist.You are fueling and appeasingthe systematic subjugation of women, allowing for another generation to tremble in the fear and pain of rape. The time is now, boys. Which side are you on?

ConventionCliff Notes:NewYork Editor-ln-Chief JustinBreuer

Welcome to the Republican National Convention, where selfishnes and fear reign supreme,bolsteredby lies, damn lies, and Fox News. Rudy Giuliani started off the week by

,

beating America over the head with the old 9/11 stick. It's the now-routine Republican response to anything: whatever they say,respond with 9/l 1. Itt meant less as a memorial than a threal Vote for us. or 9/l I will come again.

Giuliani slipped when JoelTagert he said his first thought Columnist after seeing the towers fall was that he was glad George Bush was in the White House. He meant it as a testimony to George'slevel-headedness.I hope America saw it for the tawdry partisanship it was. one which revels in disaster as a means of consolidating power. I mw the same pleasure on Jeb Bush's face in discussing Hurricane Frances on CNN. Next up was Amold Schwarzenegger,who regaled us with the myth that anyone Gln overcome the odds and become an action-movie star.

Schwarzenegger was preceded by Michael Steele, lieutenant goyemor of Maryland, who more or lessgavethe same spielTogether they reprised Booker T. Washingtont speechat the Atlanta Exposition in 1895, in which Washington encouraged his fellow African-Americans to put down the punuit of equal rights and fair tre.tment in favor ofjust working real hard. The white establishment loved it then, too.

Here we encounter the great American nryth: that if you just work rcal-har4 then you can achieve anything.

The individual is all-powerfrrl, and ifyou fail, then it's your own damn fault.

Dorlt believe it, The more you buy into individualism and pursue your own aims solely, then the lessyou identift with your community, This is the mind set that shops at Wal-mart, seeking lower prices for itself, while standing by as community businessesare destroyed.This is the mind set that glorifies the rich and punishes the poor.

This is the selfishnesspushed by the GOP. On Wednesday the convention tumed nasty, with Dick Cheney and nominal Democrat Zell Miller delivering one-two punches.

Cheney stepped up with his habitual sneer and somberly delivered the verdict on Kerry

Here's one whopper: "The worldt worst source of nuclear weapons proliferation is out of businessand we are safer as a resuft."

Ah, you say. Clearly, he is talking about Pakistan, known to possessnuclear weapons and willing to deal with the most brutal of regimes.

But no! He appears to be referring to Iraq, believe it or not-a aountry known not to possessnuclear technology before the war began,and therefore unable to export anything to anybody.

Pakistan, on the other hand, continues to point its missiles at India, which is only too happy to point them right back at Pakistan.

For that matter, here's a cheery headline in the Denyer Post the day after Cheney's speech: "Iran restarting nuclear work;' Tums out Iran intends to process "tons" of raw uranium into weapons-grade enriched uranium, setting the stage for a nuclear standoff with Israel. Feeling safer yet?

Following Cheney was Georgia senator Zell Miller, who claimed to be a Democrat while charging that all Democrats hate America and would hrve destroyed the Twin Towers them-

selveshad Al Qaeda not beaten them to it. Hey, can't you kick someone out of the party if they stab you in the back? Someone needs to tell Zell that fanatics usually feel more comfortable with the@P. Skipping the vapid (and scripted) musings of Laura and the twins (Bush, not Coors), we come last and least to the Great Miscommunicator, the Mission Accomplicator, Little Georgie Porgie, Mad King George, our AlmosrRected Leader, George Dubya Bush.

It turns my stomach how the GOP wraps itself in the apparel of patriotism while peddling fear and selfistrness.

Meanwhile, outside the convention, hundreds ofthousands of people protested the GOPt offensive policies on everything from reproductive rights to environmental degradation. Some fifteen hundred people were arrest€d. Kudos to them for standing up to the right's bul$ng.

On Tuesday,I wasone of more than 1,400protestersarrested. leadingto my arrest,havingstartedthis I cannot discloseinformation about the circumstances story about two hours after the plastichandcuffswereslappedon asI wasloadedon to a city bus.

The musicofthe demonstrationsstopped,and new songsof support and solidarity camefrom the protesters.As the bus rolled off, I assumedwere going to Central Booking (akaThe Tombs)' When the bus stoppedand wewereunloaded,our actuallocationwasquite a surprise.

In a singlefile line, we wereled into a building dimly lit by yellowlights. Barricadessimilar to what were usedon the streetsguardedour line. On either side of the barricadeswere chain link cagestoppedwith razorwire. ThesecageswerefulI of protesters,who screamedand cheeredsoloud the building beganto quake.

The air around us washeavyand stale.Chemicalswafted into our nostrils.We had arrived at Pier 57,a former bus depot that would come to be known as"Guantanamoon the Hudson" or "Litde Gitmo." flashedin our eyesaswefiled Theaisleofbarricadesled usinto a largercage.Polaroidcameras

into the pen. There were no benches, just several portable toilets in smaller cages at either end.

Thick layers of grease and oil sat on the floor. Sips listing various chemicals dangled above our heads.

At this point, r,rerealized we were no longer human beings. The police officers referred to us as bodies, our cageswere kennels, and we were pushed from one to another. Occasionally, a sandwich on stale bread with processedcheeseor a water cuP was thrown our way. From the instant we were piled into the pens, the blackness from the floor climbed up our bodies. My sinuses began to ache and I could feel my skin becoming irritated.

Several medics managed to bring supplies into the holding aret to treat bruises and minor flesh wounds from the plastic handcuft we were finally fteed ftom. The spirit of tle streets had not been muffled. A dance-circle began with rhythms created by old handcuffs, shoes, clapping' and singing.

At about four in the morning on Wednesday,I was removed from the larger pen and placed into the smaller cagesdivided by sex.

As the day progressed, a pain starting in my rib cage gradually coursed though my body. My head pounded, my stomach churned, I coughed and gagged. Runny noses, burning eyes, itctring skin, nausea and breathing troubles sprung up acrossthe cells.

It was impossible to clean up. There was no running water and only some cells were provided with hand sanitizer. When eating, one had to weigh out which was worse, ingesting the toxic chemicalsor enduring rattling hunger pairs, Regardlessof miserable conditions, we kept singing and chanting. Whoever felt less awftrl provided comfort and care to their cellmates. We alternated in cycles hugging and nursing eadt other.

Late afternoon, after being shifted around numerous times, we were put in jail buses and taken .

The Tombs for booking. Even after almost 24 hours in police custody and inhumane conditions' to the people on the buses united in song.'We are rising up like a phoenix from the fue, brorhers and sisters spread ,vour wings and flying higherl We would not be broken.

Once inside The Tombs, we were sorted into holding cells with televisions. We watched as Tuesday night was replayed for us. Arrests in Times Square, Arrests in Madison Square, Arrests at

By this time, I wasstarting to get delirious out of sleepdeprivationand sickness.All I could do wassit and stareat the chunky blue and red paint on the wdls and hopefor the besr In the cells,we beganmeeting people and making networla. We met pedestrians and tourists who had beensweptup in massarrests.

There were women who needed medication, women getting sick, and women who were terrified. Agesranged ftom fifteen to eightf. We leamed one anothert stories. Using whatever energywe could, we kept chanting,singing and laughing.

At around 4:30in the morning, I waspulled from my cell and placedon a chainof handcuffs, Policeofficerskepl 6fiengingtheir stories,saying we werehours awayfrom freedom,while others saidweweredaysaway.

Tile hallwaysand crowded cells spun past me as we were moved over and over.The cells becamesmallerand smalleruntil I wastakento the twelfth floor and placedin an eight-by-ninefoot cell with six other women and a colony of cockoaches.

What little food I had in my stomachcame up. My vision w€nt blurry and my nose was bleeding. I was hallucinating with a fever. I

cwled up shivering under the single bench in the back of the cell. Every ounce of strength I had left was used to calm an oncoming breakdown.

My energy was gone. I did not know how much longer I could last in the cell I could not sing, I could not chant, I could not even think straighL As I rested my head on the cold paintchipped floor, I noticed a noise in the back round. It was faint at fusq but growing louder, I heard more cheering and chanting, These noises w€re not coming from inside the jail, but outside, where hundreds of people gathered to support us.

I rested for an hour and woke up with a new inspiration. I was placed in a larger cell. My head was heavy, my bones throbbed, but I was filled with energy. The cell pushed aside how much we hurt and we began to organiz€.

We met under consensus.Liberals, radicals, and unfortunate bystanders alike, we decided to take action, In response to the system's failure to arraign us within 24 hours, we declared a 30-person hunger strike. We yelled as loud as we could. We later learned our chanting was heard throughout the jail and outside on the sidewalks.

Protesters arrested on Aug. 3l spent between 24 and 48 hours in police custody. Many did not

get a phone call; even more did not seea lawyer or a judge during this time.

In the last twelve hours of my stay, I experienced a harsh blur of intense emotions. I was covered in dirt, my body was creaking, and my lungs kept erploding with <lry hacking coughs.

Some of the good cops told us we would be released soon to warm showers and decent meals.

All I could think of was seeing my friends.

At 7:30 p.m. on SepL 2, 48 hours after my arrest, I walked out of the jail into the setting sun of New York City. Applause, cheers,medicq legal aide, and fellow protesters greeted me, When I finally saw my ftiends-some of whom had stayed outside for 30 hours, others who retnmed after thet release-a hot lump formed in the back of my throat. I fought back tears.

I wasn't a'body" anymore. Handcuffs didn't bind me. We hugged and kissed. Sickness had not subsided, there were merely more important things at hand. Gende camera flashes lit up the background of our reunion, interrupted occasionally with couching and sneezing.

New York City taught me a great deal. This hellish mix up with the justice system offered me a glimpse at what our brothers and sistersof color experience regularly without the company and support of nearly 2,000 people in the same

situation.We got off easycomparedto thoseof previous protestsand struggles.I did not have to endurewhat I can only imagineis a crushing experienceof beingtransor gender-queerin jail.

Most of us sufferedfew if anypoliceinjuries.Yes, our scarswereshallow,but the lessonwasdeep.

The strongestof my revelatiorxcameto me in the armsof my comrades.Wearea movement fueled by love and compassion.We work for community, equality, and humanity. Our successis basedon so much more than attendance at events.While the city and policedepartment's chargescanbedropped,lawsuitscanbe filed and their power (read: their money) can be taken away,what we gainedcannotbe touched.We are more educated,motivated,and united stronger than eYer. Under alienation and inhumaniry love and resistanceblossomed.

Their cagescannot separateus; their cuffs cannotbind us.

While someof us fought out daysin police custody, others continued the battles in the in New streets.Though parts of our experiences York were lessthan enjoyable,they were necessary.This was only the beginning,and we will not stop until we are on the other side of the newworld.

Most of the boys had learned about America fiom TV shows and Hollywood-projected images of how people lived here-that seemed to be the only perspective they had.

"When I got here, I realized that there were two Americas. One looked at from the outside and the actual one, observed fiom the inside," Garang said.

The outer one is synonymous with the dollar sign, a symbol of a lot of money; the inner one is of hard work and everyday problems that people have all over the world.

After the initial joy and excitement of being selected, the boys were overcome by unspeakable sadness.

The vision of a new, happier Me was darkened by the thought that most of their friends-people who became more than brothers in the daysofhorror and struggle for survival-would stay behind. No one knew when they would meet again, if ever; no one knew if the ones left would one day be as lucky to escapethe monotonous life in the camp and get hold of their destiny.

Tott'-Zornbie Zombie Zombie is so over. The electrosmash, synth-punk mayhem of this Denver quartet expired Tuesday, Aug. 3l at an inconspicuouswarehousein the sketchypart of the city.

caught while the music swelteredthrough the rickety PA system.

Losing bassist/keyboardistBauer to Texas and fatherhood, Zombie Zombie decided to disband after iust two yearsof playing together.Y€t, in this short span,

they had made an impact on the Denver underground that the locals will be talking about for years.They formed at a ripe time and meided scream-ishvocalsto fast, noisy hooks and beats.

But, more than just creating a distinctive sound, they did something that most other bands had been neglectingto do for awhile-they made the scenefun again.

They brought raucous dance pafy enthusiasm to every show and helped to bond a scene into a circle of friends. Even the back-of-theroom wallflowersand jaded cynicshad to get up and notice. Zombie Zombie weren't iust a band, they were an experience, The final shorv proved no different. From the first note to the last, they impresseda lasting memory that $'on't and can't be duplicated.

by promising them a fiesh and innovative album that never appeared.

Finally, after three years, The Autumns' selftided releasehas emerged from its arduous and involved production process. For the loyal fans, the long wait is over. For the rest of us, the new release provides a chance to hear what all the fuss is about.

For all of the melodic divenity and stylistic slrifts the band employs over the 13 tracks, The Autumns do a fine job of mainraining a stirring musical mood. Crisp, succinct guitar notes and emotivg falsetto vocals mark the albumt myriad stles and structues, and whether it emulales the lilting harmonies and percussive snaps of

50s Doo Wop groups, as on the track "D€sol6'; or revels in distortion and fiszz effects in the 'Wish Stars," the music retains a tender song and poignant energy.

At its best moments, the album tastefully blends a keen sense of varied musical contours and effects, innovative experimentations with song structure, and a mature, poetic approach to lyrics. At its worst, the musical layers become too densely packed, and the overall effect becomes muddled- Still, The Autumns did not waste their tbree years in the studio; the album delivers on its expectations and is sure to attract a new wave of converts.

This is an album everlrone should own, no matter what their musical preference. It is the kind of CD that makes the listener feel lost, withour the desirr to be found. The accomplishments and influence of rhis crazy litde band from New York are far too geat to ignore, and far too extensive not to praise.

-AdemBrcwn

Hearing Big Black for the fust time is like suffering a head injury. First, the brutal, mechanized rhythms punch a hole in the brain. Seconds later, the vitriolic lyrics begin infecting the wound. But, before the disease sets in the searing squawk and roar of the guitars sear the edges,cauterizing the wound. The patient will live, but the damage is done. They'll never be quite the same.

Big Black gave the world some of the most genuinely passionate, challenging and scary music it's ever seen and SongsAbout Fuckrng was both their best and final studio album. It takes a unique talent to make an album firll of songs about mental illness, casual murder, and the brutal power dynamics of sexual relations (plus a Kraftwerk cover) work without sounding cheesy or contrived. Big Black pulls it off in style, The lyrics, delivered in yelping howls by guitarist/{iontman Steve Albini, explore the darkest comers of the human experience with incisive clarity and the blackest of humor. Behind these blistering screeds, section----comprised a cyborg rhythm of human bass player Dave Riley and a drum machine named Roland-pounds out freight-train rhythms while guitarists Santiago Durango and Albini torture their instruments until they scream in submission. The overall effect is a revelation-ugly, caustic and perfect in a way thatt never been seenbefore or since.

Much could be said about Big Black's enduring influence and Albini's later contributions as both a musician and producer/ engineer, but ultimately none of that matters as much as the music. Over fifteen ygars after is release, it still sounds as fresh and unique as it did the day it appeared. The bottom line is this: any record collection without this album has a big black hole that needs to be filled immediately.

No.20 Men'sSocceroff to flyingstart

by DonaldSmith The Metrooolitan Head Coach Ken Parsons of the Metro men's socccr team wa[ted his playen to get more comfortable playing in their positions during the first two gamesof the season,but along with that he also got 12 goals and two victories. The Roadrunnersbegantheir season 2-0 rryithvictories over Johnsonand Walesand WestTexasA&M. The No. 20 Metro men'ssoccerteam witnessedforwardsAntonio Porras(who managed a hat trick, scoringin the 3d, 126and 54'hminutes) and Phillip Owen (who scoredin the 8'h and 21" minutes)alongwith midfielderPreston Borrego(who scoredin the 14'hand 52"dminutes)havingsomeseriousfun with Johnsonand WaleslastWednesdayasthey combinedto score sevenof the teamt nine goalsin their openingdayrout.

Porras,who scoredhis first hat trick of the season,had the first and second-toJastgoal of the contest.Midfielder Aldo Alcaraz-Razaalso had a hat trick, but only in the assistcolumn, assistingon Porras'fust goaland scoringthe last goal of the match in the wakeof their 9-0 beating of the fohnson and WalesWildcats.

After their victory over the Wildcats, the Roadrunner men were met by two opposing forces in Texas:6nt, i sweepingwind that blew againstthe Roadrunnersin the fust half and for Metro in the secondhalf of play; and second"the WestTixas A&M Buffaloes.Metro faceda team that brought high pressureduring the first half, forcing turnovers early on in the contest,which lead to the Buffaloesoutshooting M€tro 8-4 in the 6rst 45 minutes of play.

The Roadrunnersalsoconcededthe gamet first tally in the 3ld mirute to Buffalo forward Josh Fender,who scoredoff a crossftom defenseman IessiePurvis.

The Roadrunnerswould continueto facethe WestTexaspressurethroughoutthe first half and withstandit long enoughto useoneof thet four fust-half shotsto go into the breaktied asPorras took a crossfrom midfielder David Gordon and put it in goal right beforehalf-time, "I thjr:k that the West Texasgame overall

showed us that we have to play well all the tirne.

We cant play well in stretches; we have to do things right and sometimes we have to change up our tacticJ sometimes to get a result-especially on the road," said coach Parson about the win at West TexasA&M. In the second half, Metro made the proper adjustments and turned the tables on the Buffaloes, which lead to the Roadrunners owning the shot count 8-4. "[n the second half, they were just tired.

They had been running all over the field trying to high pressure us (into turning the ball over) the whole first half, and they couldn t handle it and we knew they couldn t handle it. We were able to control the ball and we slowed the game down and they couldn't hang with us then," said goaltender David McReary about the team's turnaround in the second half.

First, Metro would break the rhlthm of the Buffaloes'defense,Then, in the 55ftminute, Porras struck again off another cross-this time &om defenseman Grant Piernot-to give Metro a lead tley wouldn t relinquish.

The Roadrunners also received a gift fiom West TexasA&M later in the game when defensemen Kenneth Christensen was sent off with his second yellow card in the 86s minute. A little over three minutes later, a third goal from Nagui Sabbagh, who took advantage of the withered defense,scored an insurance goal off a throughball from Borrego.

'It's a very tough place to win ... and to come out with 3-l will, I thilk is good for our confidence. And th€ fact that we showed we could win on the road in difficult circumstances .. . that's gonna be an important part in our next four games becausewdll be on the road ... " Parsons said.

The No. 20 Metro men's soccer team now plan to take their winning wa)'s to Regis (9/8) and Fort Irwis (9/12) as they attempt to place an early stranglehold on conference and regional standings.

Naraz-Raz.a said the reason this team has been able to pull it together and win is because: 'Everybody's working hard. There's no stars on this team; everybodyb just working hard and doing their job."

foryoungteam Premier Challenge too challenging Inelperienceshours play asRoadrunners someof thenation's bestvollevballteams J

by NateTimmons The Metrooolitan Metro State came out of the Colorado PremierChallengewith a l-3 record (3-5 overall). The'Runnersvolleyballteam'syouth played a role in their threelossesto Top25 rankedteams.

It wasan up and down, roller coasterweekend, saidassistantcoachAmy Hendrichovsky.

On Friday,SepL 3, Metro played the New HavenChargers(Conn.) and 4s rankedNorth AlabamaLions.

AgainstNew llaven, Metro provedto be the sharperteamearninga 3-0sweep(30-18,30-25, 30-16).

In the second game of the match, the Roadrunnersfound a way to win the close game.As Metro looked to run away with the gameup 19-14,the Chargers put togethera rally andweredownbyjust onepoint (26-25).Metro wasin needofbig playsandsophomoreStefanie Allison would provide them. Allison came up with two acesto pushto a 29-25lea( and after a New Havenerror, M€tro got ttre win. This game was the first of many in which the 'Runners would haveto find a way to makeplays in the end to be ableto win.

Freshman lulie Green (Litdeton) Ied the 'Runnerswith 12kills in the match.

Iater that evening,Maro took on powerhouseNorth Alabama-"That's a gamethat we were not supposedto win," said head coach DebbieHendricks.

The defending national champion North Alabama Lions were coming off their own sweepof New Haven.The crowd of nearly 200 waseagerfor the match to begin.

Metro cameout in the Srst gameand hung with the Lions. The lead changedhandsseveral

times. Freshman Iulie Green started a 3-point rally with a hard spike to give Metro a 17-15 lead. Allison came up with a block to extend Metrot lead to 2l-18. The Lions battled back to tie the game at 23, and this was where the Roadrunners' inexperience hurt them.

Dovtn 24-26,Metro had a controversial call go against them. A Lion's player hit a spike that sailed out of bounds and Metro thought they won the poinl The referee made a late call that a Metro player had touched the ball on the blockattempt and awarded the Lions the point The call ratded the young team as they saw the deficit grow instead of decrease. North Alabama went on to win the first game 30-26.

In the second game, Metro held an 18-16 lead. Again, the Roadrunners inexperience showed as the team could not hold on to it and the Lions ended the game on a 14-8 run to win 30-26. Like before, in the third game Metro just could not find a way to pull out the plays in the end as the Lions won 30-23.

Although North Alabama defeated Metm 'Runners in three games, the impresed their

'The whole team coachwith their performance. steppedup," Hendrickssaid.

On Sept.4, in the secondday of action, Metro traveledto RegisUniversity to play No. 13CentralMissowi StateandNo, 16Augustana

(sD).

Metro did not carry over and play with the sameintensity that they did in the first day of action, Hendrick said, The Roadrunnerswere unable to get a victory against either team.

The team needsto play with more confidence that should come irs they gain experience, Hendrichovskysaid.

Hendrickssaid that sheis still searchingfor the right player combinationsout on the floor.

Although the tournament wasn't a successfor the'Runners,they do havea lot to build on and youth will wentually work in their hvor.

No. l7 MinnesotaDuluth Bulldogsdefeated No. 2 UC-San Diego Tritons 3- l to win the C,oloradoPremierChallenge.

It was a tale of two cities, and of virtually two teams.

In Durango, Metro State woment soccer team lost a stunner to Cal State-Bakersfield2-0, thanks to a quick-strike offensive performance and strong goaltending fiom starting keeper Mary Ellen Arraztoa.

"We just didn't get the opportunities we norrnally have," said Metro head coach Danny 'We knew we had a tough stretch openSanchez ing the season with four games in about one week; and they're a solid, well-coached defensive team. They came right out of the gate and scored two early goals and we were chasing the game until the end."

The lack of offensive output ftom the Roadrunners was not due to lack of attempts, as Amy Leichliter and Kylee Hanavan had two shots on goal each and Arrazl.oa had to make l0 savesto secure the win. Metro didn't get enough open looks at the net to make a difference, though, and Cal State-Bakersfield held on for the win.

Back in Denver in front of 278 mosdy partisan fans at Auraria Field, the Roadrunners rebounded strongly against the University of the Incamate Word, winning 7-1.

The scoring began in the ninth minute, when freshman midfielder Tiffani Tobar scored her fust goal of the seasonoff a passfr-om junior forward Amy kichliter. In the 29h minute, Leichliter scored her own fust goal of the season, and the ondaught was in progress.

Before it ended, two more Roadrunners (sophomore midfielder Shelley Radosevich and iunior midfelder Marina MacDonald) had

Danny Holland/ The Metropolilan Metro junior dâ&#x201A;Źfender Stephanie Prouty stE s to the ball in front of Incarnate Word's iunior forward Arnber Cole in lhe 7-f win Sept.5. Metro's defenseheld the Cardinals to sevenshots on goal their fust goals of the season,and the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conferencet leading scorer Kylee Hanavan, tallied her fifth and sixth goals of the year.

"We responded well to the challenge," coach Sanchez said. "We came out with a lot of focus

-in

a regional game-with more energy.Having a lot of fans at the match certainly helped."

UIW head coach Tina Patterson agreed.

"They're a very good soccer team," she said, "and itt tough to win against a team like that, especially with the support they got from the fans."
