Auraria:How safe are we? byBoyd Hee|rcr Thel\,letropolitan

Danny Holland / The Melropolitan Dfiao ctud.d Sr$ana Cassawrits riith0fficer Sltoenon the stqrs of ihe Tivoli for her ride hone Nov 2. Skeenis one of 20 Auraria police officers.

During the wee}, therc are sir to nine offcers on duty on canpuq with slightly fewer during the weekend.

Along with the war in Iraq, health care and the economy, national safety and homeland security were some of the most debated topics of this election.

Places with a high concentration of pmple, such as airports, train stations, sporting fienas and college campuses have undergone security advancements since 9/ I I .

According to a report issued by the Urban Areas Security Initiatives, Denvert ranking on the list of cities at risk of terrorist activity has dropped from ninth in 2003 to 39th, with New York City and Washinglon D.C. topping the list.

Denver is a large metropolitan area with an international airport, but Denver is landlocked, not a port city like the top 12 cities on the list, thus lowering its ranking.

Regardless,Denver businessesand residents continue to be concerned with local security and safety.

Approximately 110,000 people work in downtown Denver, the largest business center in the Rocky Mountain region, according to the Downtown Denver Partnâ‚Źrship's 2004 secondquarter review.

The Auraria campus is the largest business in downtown Denver, and the largest campus in

terms of population in Colorado. The roughly 36,000 students and 6,000 faculty and staff members equal about 33 percent of the downtown worKorce.

Auraria Campus Police Chief Heather Coogan said providing security for the roughly 42,0O0people on the commuter campus poses many problems other schools do not face.

The Auraria Campus Police Department has 20 police ofEcers,with betweensix and nine ofEcers on duty daily during the week, and slighdy fewer during the weekend.

"Security on this campus has always been high," Coogan said. "We operate in an urban enyironment that has ahuays had a very high crime potentialJ Coogan said the rail yard to the $.est, nearby housing projects and the 24-hour flow of people on Colfax have always been concerns.

The Auraria Campus Police have received terrorism awareness training and are expecting personal protection suits from the Department of Homeland Securiry The suits are for the police, who, in an emergency, would be part of the first response teams, Coogan saidAccording to Coogan, Auraria campus police have to deal not only with the student population but also with people who use the campus as parking for downtown events.

One of the most important ways Coogan

said this campus is made safer is by stressing "customer service" between the officers and the people they are protecting. Patrol cats are often parked and left in highly visible areaswhile officers patrol surrbunding areasand buildings, not only to provide a physical presence, but also to create a feeling of safety on campus.

The urban environment in which the Auraria campus is located dictates a different approach to security than other Colorado schools.

Officer Yvonne Paez of the Colorado State University Police said that since 9/ll the police at CSU, a school with more than 25,000 students, have undergone specialized training to better help them assessthreats and to prepare them in case any catastrophic events happen on czrmPus. Paez said her department, which has 27 sworn officers with between five and seven officers on duty at any time, is constantly working with other local law enforcement agencies, Federal Protective Services,the FBI and the DHS to ensure the safety of the community.

"I think that CSU is a very safe campus, but only through our eftrh as a communitf to keep 'As soon as we rest each other safe,"Paez said. on our laurels thinking we have it all figured out,

The'Runners finished tlre season in style, going 14-0 against the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference and 19-l overall. Metro has dominated opponents over the course of their 17 game win streak, which includes seven shutouts in their last eight games. Not only is this their third straight regular season tide, but the Roadrunners have not lost a game in conference play in the past three years.

"Regis is our big rival in the conference and in the region," said head coach Danny Sanchez.

"Itt always a battle; and the fact that it was for the RMAC tide and the NCAA regional made it an extra big match."

The 116 ranked Regis Rangers (I7-3, 142 RMAC) were looking to steal the 'Runners' momentum and get their chance at taking the regular season title. Regis came in with a 15 game winning streak on the line. Their last loss was to the Roadrunners on August 30. Neither win came easily for Metro.

The hard-fought game went scoreless through the first half, as each team's defense was unwilling to concede the first goal. Everything changed 10 minutes into the second half when senior Meisha Pyke scored off a corner kick to give Metro the lead. The lead didnl last, howwer, as the Rangers scored three minutes later to tie the game. The game remained deadlocked until Regis made a deadly mistake with 15 minutes remaining.

, SGAhopesto booststudentrepresentation

by ClaytonWoullard TheMetropolitan Metro students could face another election before the end of the year to vote on a document some hope will improve the way students are representedon campus.

This document is the proposed constitution of the Metro Student Government Assemblv, which consistsof 13 members whose job is to representthe Metro student population ofabout 22,000students.With this new constitution, the SGA hopes to heal rifts within the group and help it function better.

But what does that mean for students?

SGA Vice President for Communications Beth Ott said the group hopes this new constitution will heip the SGA operate more efficientlp which will spread to the students by improving representation.

'Everything the SGA has done thus far 'However, has been for the SGA," Ott said.

I am hopeful that in the long run, the benefit of having a stronger SGA will filter down to the students."

The SGA Election Commission, which is composed of four students who are not SGA members, will review the new constitution and then decide when and how students will vote on whether or not to approve it.

The greatest change in the proposed constitution, which was approved by the SGA in its Oct. 2l meeting, will be to alter the assembly's structure.

Currently, the SGA is made up of a president, seven vice presidents, a student trustee, two Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board representativ€s, an attorney general and a chief justice.

Under the proposed constitution, the SGA would be more representative of the U.S. government with executive, legislative and judicial branches.

The executive branch would be made up of a president, vice president, student trustee and two SACAS representatiyes. The legislative branch would be made up of 15 senators, three of whom must be either freshmen or sophomores. The judicial branch would be a new name for the student court, which is already made up of five students who serve as justices.

Currently, each of the seven vice presidents overseeone area of the college, such as academic affairs and student fees,but under the proposed constitution, these areas wiil be dealt with

l0 times better than the current document we're working under? You better believe it" Gill said itt important to pass a new constitution by the end of this semester because it would be unfair to the students running for office in the spring to put a constitution up for vote at the same time.

Hay said it would be logistically difficult for studentsto vote for an SGA of 13 members, and at the same time vote on a constitution that would require more electedmembers.

Safford said there are r,raysto work harder on the logistics of the document and still get it out to the students to vote on by February.

"There are a lot of ways to addressimplementation but we should never sacrifice the essenceof the constitution for the timeliness," 'Itt just he said. not fair to the people we represent."

If students ratifr the constitution, Safford said he would do anything to make sure it works becausehe considershis first priority is serving the students.

Ott said the SGA is also working with Interim Associate \? of Student Services and Dean of Student Life Yolanda Ortega-Ericksen Jason Chevarria/ The Melropolitan on discussing how the SGA can be more autonoSGA menbers Beth Ott, Todd Zinck and RebeccaManhart rneet in the Tivoli's SenateChambers durmous, which, along with the constitution, should ing the Oct. 14 meeting.

SACABappnwes Auraria Ghild Care Center name change pKrposal The Student Advisorv Committee to the Auraria Board approved a proposal to change the name of the Auraria Child Care Center to the Auraria Early karning Center in its Oct. 29 meeting.

Child Care Center employees and administrators said the Center is now more education-oriented and that current goals and services no longer reflect those offered by a basic child-care center.

The Center now offers classes,including a speech class, in addition to day-care services.No further information was available about other ciass offerirgs, according to a staff member who declined to identify herself.

According to the Auraria Child Care Center's Web site, the Center provides fulland part-time programs for children 12 months to five years old. It also provides a fi:lly accredited kinderganen programThe Center is also accredited by the National Academy of Early Childhood Programs, a division of the National Association for the Education of Young Children.

NA-EYCis a national, voluntary accreditation systemto set professionalstandards for early childhood education programs, and to help families identi! high-quaiity programs. NAEYC'SWeb site lists the Auraria Child Care Center as accredited through Sept.30, 2007.

Name changes are being done more often as child-care centers shift their focus to education, according to Rev. Janet M. Buntrock, a child-care program director in Littleton.

The Auraria Board will have to approve the name change.

Herb Keinon, diplomatic affairs correspondent for the Jerusalem Post, spoke on "America, lsra€l and the Middle East An Election Day Perspective" Nov. 2 in Tivoli'3 Multicultural Lounge.The event was prosented by the Golda Meir Center and the Departnent of Political Scienc€.

by AdamGoldslein Thel/etroDolitan On Nov. 2, the Metro Department of Political Science hosted an event featuring Herb Keinon, the diplomatic affairs correspondentfor the JerusalemPost. Keinon, who currently resides in Israel with his family, spoke of the current atmosphere in a country ravaged by conflict, terror and violence.

In an event entitled, "America, Israel and the Middie East: An Election Day Perspective", the Denver native covered contemporary issues and fielded questions fiom students.

Q: During the Kerry campatgn, he seemedto cone out strongly in deferse of Israel; he defended the wall. he evm used the wording that Israel has a right to defend itxlf. Youmentioned that krcelis can't besurewherehe would stand if ele*ed. Wat do you think it wouLd'vetaken to convince Israelb that Keny wouLd'ttetaken a strong stance in favor of Israel?

A: Kerry has a perfect voting record in the Senateon Israel.

There was concern, becauseat the beginning of the campaign, he came out against the fence.

Then he flip-flopped a few months later.

The problem Israelis had with Kerry is that they dont know Kerry; they know Bush. Bush has given Sharon the leeway to deal with the problem as he seesn€cessary.

Itt not that they have anything against Kerry. The feeling is theret not going to be a major difference, no matter who's elected. But, again, Bush is the guy who's been good for Israel.

What you know is better than what you don't know I know that Sharon came over in April, and Kerry wanted to meet him. Sharon was in a very uncomfortable position. On the one hand, he needed to meet the man who might be the President of the United States.On the other hand, he needed Bush to give him these assuranc€s.

A: The problem I have with the cycle analogy is that in a cycle, one side stops and the other side starts.

Let's say that Israel qtopped following effecQ: So it's safe to say that Sharon belines that Israel has tine on its side. Is it mfe to my that tive action against terror, that they tore down the lsraelis believe him, that time is on their side? fence, that they wouldn t engagein targeted killOr do they belieyethat we are the vergeof some ings...Would the Palestinianterrorists stop? major confia?

There are experiences that say no, it wouldn't. For that reason,ith not a rycle.

A: I'm not sure that the Israelisbelieve that Yesterday,there was a 16 year old suicide time is on their side, I don't thinl Sharon thinks bomber. When it comes to Israel, you have to that time is on their side. deal with the prospect of a sixteen year-old kid I think thatt one of the reasonsthat we see carrying a bomb.

But on the other hand. I'm worried about I tbink that's pushing Sharon to think in a my kids at home. I don't want my kids to be new way. blown up by a 16 year-old.

So, it's a typical moral dilemma. The sense Q: I was wondering what your position was of security is behind everything. The actions on the W, Corsidering that the W has come that you see on the television are not motivated together against Israel what do Israelisfeel about by racisrn, by hatred for tlre Palestinians. The the UN? Are they opposedto it, generally? actions that you see are motivated by a feeble attempt to defend ourselves. The argument A: krael is very very cynical of the UN. about the fence...you can tear down a fence, you can have a peate agreement. But a human If Tunisia would put forth a resolution tomorrow to the United Nations General life cant be rebuilt.

A: As far as the fence is concerned, you're The Security Council, of course, is a different ball of wax. The Security Council is very right, the language is very important. For that irnportant, and there,Israel is affected, to a large reason, I think the Palestinians insert the idea ecent, by the US. of the wall, "The wall, the 30 foot barrier" The consenative opposition to the UN in that yofre talking about, is 5oloof the security America is more ideologically based; itt not fence...50/o.95% of it is not a wall.

Ghita Canoll, program coordinator for CU-Boulder Erwironmental Center, who is also working with SACAB to help elaluate proper usage of the $l student fee, said she thinks the carnpus is moving fast considering the new alternatives available.

Metro student and MSAVE member Mercedes Pollmeier said one option would be holding the funds until enough money is available to buy solar power.

She said solar power would better serve Auraria because it is cheaper than natural gas.

While the solar panels may be a large investment at first, Carroll said there is little upkeep or fees attached. The panels would feed into a buildingt electrical grid and offset the use of natural gas.

Pollmeier also said solar power on campus would serve as a reminder to students that their fee is being used and that conser tion is important.

CU has found other funds to minirnally invest in solar power. Currently, three buildings on the Boulder campus are exclusively solar power.

"Wind (power) is the cheapest,"Pollmeier said. Unlike solar power, any money used to fund wind power is used by the contracted company and is fed to a larger generatorsomewhere in the state.

Carroll was quick to point out the rising cost ofgas. Shesaid believesit's only going to get higher and renewableenergyis a rvayto counterbalancethe cost for campusesand communities.

'As the prices go up the solar panels will offset some of that cost,"she said.

The Universiw of Colorado at Boulder has more than 28,000studentsand a police force of 42 officerswith as many as nine on duty at a time, according to Lt. Tim McGraw of the Universityof ColoradoPoliceDepartment.

McGraw said crime is an issue they take seriously as a policeforceand asa school,but , the departmentdoesnot discussdetailsregarding measurestakento preventcriminal activity.

McGraw said community involvementis one of the most important st?s to keepingthe schoolsafe.

DEarnnmt "Thus far we have been a safe environment."

McGraw said. "As for what the future holds, we obviously cannot tell. One of the major frctors involved in making our community safer is the continued efforts of citizens in using the police as a resource."

The U.S. Air Force Academv in C,olorado ' Springs is not on.ly a college campus but also a functional military instillation, which received the best-prepared instillation award from the Department of Homeland Security in 2003.

According to Meade Warthen, chief of media relations for the Air force Academy, the school restricted accessafter 9/11 on the campus of 4,000 to students, faculty and military - personnel, but re-opened the campus to yisitors in September 2003 when new procedures could be instituted.

Currently, people may visit the campus by entering the north entrance. They may be unescorted as long as they stay within certain areas and are allowed in otler areas of the campus with an academy employee or cadet escort.

"We are confident that we have taken all 1 appropriate measures to protect this instillation," Warthen said.

Student awareness, and communication with the police are two things that the departments stressed on all four campuses. All four schools police departments rely on the student population to feel comfortable reporting suspicious activity when they see it, and to not feel intimidated by officers and the security measuresthe school takes.

"It's very important they seeus as friends, as - someone they can depend on," Coogan said.

Salazarsaid he often thinks about this encounter with Cleland and severalpoints that come to mind.

The fust is when Cleland referred to taking back America, he is still very hurt about what happenedin Georgia in 2002.

"Where those people, like Karl Rove and the forces of darkness and pessimism for America, decided that what they would do is they would spend not a million dollars, but millions after millions after millions of dollars to emblazon across his forehead-that very patriotic American-to emblazon across his forehead the 'They term unpatriotic American," Salazar said. were able to defeat him in Georgia with that kind of negative campaigning. We, in Colorado, are not gonna let them do that. Notwithstanding the fact that they have spent probably well over $10 million trying to defame my name and my record. Today, we are beating Pete Coors four days before the election."

He also said the second thing that comes to 'we gotta mind is that when Cleland says take back America,' he is still living in an Arnerica of hope and optimism.

"We know that we can do better than we have done orrer the last four years under the leadership of this country and thatt why we need to change directions," Salazar said.

Lastly, Salazar said he thinls Cleland meant we should take America back for our enyironment, "Native Americans have a saying and tlat saying is that we inherit the planet from our parents, but we borrow it fiom our children," he said. "That means that all of us have a special responsibility to take care of this planet and this very special place that we inhabit, to make sure that as we borrow it from our children, we give it to them in as good of condition or even better than the way that we inherited it. So, we must stand up for the land, air and water that make our nation so great."

The senatorpointed out that there are a host of differences between him and Pete Coors-the main one being that he has the experience and leadership to help lead the country while Coors doesnot.

'Pete Coors has zero experience in dealing with these issuesand it is for that reason that I expâ‚Źct that I will be your U.S. Senator come November third of 20M," he said.

Youare being lied to The truth in advertising law does not appl)' to political advertising.Instead,political candidates are entided, by law, to lie to you as much as they deem necessary.

Consumers are protected from companies advertising products in a misleading manner. The Federal Tiade Commission regularly enforces the truth in advertising iaw. It is illegal to claim a product has certain attributes it doesn't really have.A ballerina doll manufacturer was taken to court after its television Heather Wahle commercial portrayed the Columnist doll supporting itself independendy, when in reality it needed the assistanceof the child playing with the toy. Miss Cleo was sued when she claimed to give fiee psychic readings over the phone and really charged the customers. The FTC mled Miss Clmi company pay $5 million to the government and $500million to her callers.

Political candidates are not held to the same standards as companies. Instead, they are protected by the First Amendment that guarantees fieedom ofspeech.The FederalCommunications Act even enforces a law that sayspeople running for public office may run their advertisements uncensored. Broadcasters are required by law to air commercials even if they feel the material is offensive or misleading. Stations can refuse to run any ads &om political groups other than candidates, If a candidate wants to air an advertisement and it is false, the broadcaster cannot refuse-it is against the law. We have all been subjected to millions of dollars worth of political advertising that has distorted the facts. The purpose of many advertisements is not to inform the public on superior policy changes. Instead, the purpose is to scare the American voting population into casting a ballot for a particular political candidate.

The Bush administration has sponsored an ad referred to as wolves that has run repeatedly on national television networls. The commercial uses blurry shots of a forest and a pack of wolves to represent terrorists. The ad shows the wolves appearing to be hungry and on the verge of an attaclc Near the end a female announcer

Cartoon byAdam Goldstein claims that democratic opponent John Kerry's voting is weak and "weakness attracts those who are waiting to do America harm-" The ad claims Kerry voted for defense cuts after the fust attack on the World Trade Center. lvhat comes to mind when hearing the fust attack on America is the 9i ll attack. Yet, what is being referred to is an incident that occurred in 1993.A bomb was planted in a truck in an underground parking lot of the World Tiade Center over a decadeago.

It is true that Kerry voted to cut intelligence funding but this occurred in 1994. Although total intelligence funding is classified materia1, the IGrry supported intelligence funding decreasewas approximately 3.7 percent. The commercial calls this a slash in funding and says it would weaken our defense.

The commercial also claims that the cut in funding Kerry supported was for $6 billion,

which is not true. Kerry did support a bill that rvould have cut the spending by $1 billion.

The commercial claims voting for spending cuts are supported by "liberals in congress."That is in contradiction to the many Republican votes that were cast in favor of the intelligence cut in question. In fact, the current CIA director Porter Goss voted for many decreasesin spending, includins the one mentioned in the ad.

Gossactuallyco-sponsoreda bill in 1995that would have cut the inteliigence funding by 20 percent over five years. Goss is a Republican and was appointedby Bush.

The wolves commercial is shocking and intimidating. This ad is just one of the many blatantly false commercials to be seen regarding election day. Campaigns are counting on undecided voters to see their advertisements and take them for fact. Not many viewers will take the time to researchthe claims.

deaths in Iraq since the invasion. Coalition forces caused95oloof these deaths.

In the British-based medical joutnal The Lancet, researchersftom the study report that air strikes constitute for a majority of the deaths,and that most of the dead are women and children.

Iead researcherLes Roberts summed up the situation in Iraq quite simply, saying, "This isnt about individual soldiers doing bad things. This appears to be a problem rvith the approach to occupationin lraq."

Where is the media coverage of such devastating news?

This is exacdy what inspired the largest antiwar demonstrations internationally, knowing that hundreds of thousands of Iraqis would suffer.

Protesters by the millions flocked to the streets begging the United States to rethink this greedy and disastrous plan.

Yet, their voices were ignored, and look at rvhat we are left with.

A country has been torn apart by U.S. helicopters, bullets, and bombs, pouring fire and death over civilians. There have been 100 times more Iraqi deaths than U.S. soldier deaths.Where is the apology? I have to ask, where are the ribbons,memorials,candlelightvigils and "Dateline" specialsfor thesepeople?

The thought of 100,000 civilian casualties is sickening.I cannot fathom the loss and anger that must resonatein Iraq. This is not a figure to sweep under the rug. One hundred thousand people have died for the U.S. ravenousness.One hundred thousand people died becauseof a lie.

Congratulations, America; we've done it. We have now joined the ranks of past warmongers and murderers. All of our long hard years of imperialism have finally paid off. Our future is now paved with piles of corpses riddled with our bullets and mangled by our bombs, Iraq is not in the midst of blooming democracy, but a gory and treacherous bloodbath, and it is none but the United Statet to own.

Many students at our school do not understand the role of the Metro State Board of Trustees.I used to hear that the Board is antistudent. I used to hear that the board does not care what the students think. I used to hear that the board is out to make this a University of Phoenix. None of this could be further from the truth.

When I decided last year to inform myself about the board and Stephen Hay --ffi4""t'Irr understand why it makes t* some of the decisions it does,I was pleasantlysurprised. It wants Metro to remain a collegeworthy of national recognition. To do this, Metro must best serve us. To do that, our Trusteeswant to hear from us, the students.

They want to hear about how they, as a governing board, can have a positive influence on our education. Yes,I did say"positive." It is my duty as the Student Trustee to convey this to you.

As an example of horv our board work, I wi.ll use the Clean Energy Fee from Iast spring.

This fee pays for a portion of the energy used by the Auraria Campus that is ftom renewable sources,such as solar or wind energy.

Auraria Higher Education Center held a tri-institutional election to approve this fee.

Following the election, the Clean Energy Fee went to the governing boards of the schoolsfor approval. Metro's board approved the fee by a slim majority; it only passedby one rcte. whv( There were a couple of reasons. Some trustees were concerned about raising student fees and others about the voter turnout. There was also concern about how the election was carried out.

Believe it or not, Metrot student government elections had a higher voter turnout (barely over percent), than AHEC's Clean Energy election,which was around 3 percent.

The board of Trusteeswants to act in the interest of the students,if possible.Can they do that with so few students "speaking to them" by means of the election?

The Clean Energy Fee was approved by the Board, but it was noted that they want to hear fiom the students.The 1,000studentswho voted were, unfortunately, only a small sample of our student body. We have the opportunity to be heard. We have a board that wants to hear from us.

We can make change.

I would like to further encourage that we, the studens of Metro, exercise our right to be heard.

Contact your Student Tiustee (mscd-student-trustee@mscd.edu),contact your Stud€nt Government (mscd-sga@mscd.edu),vote in student elections and help our board act in the best interest of us, becauseWE are Metro.

Thingsthat piss me off Tim Dunbar Jage Halloween is over, we've had our first measurable snowfall of the season ald, by the time you read this, wdll either have a new president or it'U be a caseof, as Pete Townshend 'meet so eloquently put it, the new boss, same as the old boss."This qln mean only one thing: the Christmas shopping seasonis upon us. Although the actual holiday is a litde under two months away,the displays, the advertising and the general hoopla is well under way. Not in the true spirit of the season,mind you; this is all about money and nothing more.

Thig among other things you will read here, should you decide to come along for the ride, is among my biggest pet peeves.

Sue, I'm venting but isn t that what editorials are all about? People seldom have a point in these diatribes, and even if they do, they're usually self-serving rants. Crntrary to conventional wisdom, the piecesyou read in this section are not alwap desigred to sway popular opinion to one side or the other, not really. In trudr, the opinion page is just a handy vehicle for getting something off the writer's chest. Sincemisery loves company, I thought I d throw my thoughts into the mix. So, feel free to sing along if you know the words and ma16e you'll feel a little better after you read this. ' Irtt start with traffic, shall we?

Question: do the idiots who design the flow of traffic actually drive through the streets of Denver? Doubtfi.rl.

Neither, it seems,do they pay nearly two bucls a gallon for gas,becauseif they did, surely there d be some changes'round here. Tirke 14s Avenue, for instance, ftom, say,Speer Boulevard to Colorado Boulerard- The light tums green and itt smooth sailing FOR A WHOLE BLOCK! These lighs are synchronized so that you have to stop at virtually every one. The fun really kicks in at Broadway becauseyou get to the red light just in time to see the light at Lincoln tum green. Thig of cowse, means that once the green light hits Broadway, Lincoln is tuming from yellow to red and you, again, are sitting at a stoplight senselesslyburning gas,Now, the idea is to regulate traffic. It doesrft; instead, it stops it, quite literally, in its racks.

And what savant came up with the idea to put the light regulators-those things embedded in the road that change the light when a car rolls over them-in the right hand lane? It shouldn t be ne€essaryto stop becausea vehicle on the other side of a median wants to turn right, but that's the way theselighs are set up. Pretty idiotic if you ask me, but apparendy no one in charge seesthe waste of gas,not to mention time, inherent with these traf8c-stopping devices. Personally, I think roundabouts are the way to go.

Denver seems to be out to eventually have one on every @rner--{ertainly fit into that category.

So do a lot of signs, traffc or otherwise. There is a sign here on campus, near the Event Center, warning pedestriansthat they are coming up on an RTD roundabout. Last year, a student (who was probably gabbing away on a cell phone) was hit by an RTD bus becausethere were no posted signs warning her to watch out for buses.Call me wacky, but isnt a bus, a vehicle roughly the size of a small building, signage enough? Apparendy not, and since there is no dumb-ass vaccine, there are now bright yellow sigrrs, positioned so they are visible ftom all directiorrs, waming us to watch out for oncoming buses. Thank 1ou, Captain Obviors!

There are other signs drat show such a firm grasp of the obvious they are downright insulting to an),one with a brain. Signs like, "Road Work Ahead, Drive With Caution" are particularly irritating. Shouldn't you always drive with caution?

Ald if the sign sayswe should drive with caution becausethere is road work ahead,does that mean we can drive without caution when there isn t a sign telling us to do so? According to the way people drive in the non-construction areasof tle city, I d haYeto say,uh, yeah. ' Recently, there has been a rash of college students dying from alcohol poisoning. People, mostly friends and family of the dead students, have called this a tragedy. I don t; I call it thinning the herd I knoq I know, that's a crass and heardessstatement, but let's face it, if you've come along with me this far you probably have some sort of appreciation of the spirit of this thing. The thing is, anyone whot dumb enough to drink rl0 or so drinks in one sitting probably isnt going to contribute too much to society anFr"ay. The higher-ups on the various campuseshave,in light of these senselessdeaths, instituted their own sropgap (or is that" stop-gulp) measures in an effort to educate their students on the simple faa that too much alcohol can kill you- They could savea lot of time and effort by having the professors blurt out, "Hey, kids, too much alcohol can kjll youi'from time to time. It'll do about as much good as an alcohol-awareness class will because the truth is, you cant savepeople fiom their own stupidity, no matter how hard you try. ' I love DVDs. I own about 500 of them and hail them as one of the greatest inventions of the 206 Century. The picture and sound quality is amazing and the extras on some of them are worth a semester at USC Film School But one thing that makes me want to throw the remote at the television set is the seemingly endless FBl/Interpol waming that you can't fast-forward through at the beginning of every film.

I checked with the FBI and, according to them, absolutely no one has ever been fined or incarcerated for copying or publicly showing a DVD. No one. Probablv becausethe FBI has bet-

Justin Breuer Editor-in-Chief A key deciding factor in the 2004 Presidential election was the youth turnout. If enough young people voted this election, a political sbift of dramatic proportion will occur.

Will comrption leave Washington D.C.? Of course not. Will the politicd landscape change, allowing for candidates with actual vision to run for office? Of course not.

What will happen, though, is nothing lessthan a monumental shift in campaign promises and the elected administration s policy.

When candidates step on their stumps and read speeches to the masses on the subject of a potential draft being reconstituted, they are talking to the parents of children who could get drafted.

When candidates talk about education, they're not talking to students,but lhe parentsof students.

Is this starting to make s€nse?

"What're 1a in for?"

"We[ I got five years for making a copy of "Weekend at Bernie's" with my computer."

FranHy, the five years should be for even wanting to make a copy of "Weekend at Bernie'sj' but I digress.Point is, itt not really that big a deal that the DVD manuhcturers have to make it so that you can't fast-forward or otherwise bypass the damn thing. t It was bad enough when wearing a baseball cap backward became a fashionable thing.

Personally, I think there are only two sets of people n'ho should do this: baseball catchers and firemen, but then I've alwap been a fan of function over style. One day last month I saw a student walking toward the west, arm held over his eyes like someone fending off an impending blow as the sun was nearing the horizon. The idiot was wearing a baseball cap backward, apparently oblivious to the fact that the bill of the cap is there TO IGEP THE SUN OUT OF YOUR EYESIII But now it's even worse. Now people-sheep and fashion victims mosdy-have taken to wearing their caps sidewap. l€t me tell you: just becauseyou see it on MTV doesn't make it cool.

Iust because Eminem, 50 Cent or Usher does it doesn't mean the rest of the world has to, lemming-like, jump on the bandwagon. It doesn't make you look coo! it makes you look like a doofrrs. Same goes for those who insist on wearing wool caps in the heat of summer and non-gang bangers who wear clothes so oversized they look like a graduate of clown school. Emmit Kelly would be so proud. ' I'm on a roll but ru mention only one more thing that gets under my skin: computer spyware.I don t know whether the dregs who create spyware are malicious or just bored, but I do know that they make me want to reach through cyberspace and strangle each and every one of them with their own entrails. Sppvare, which runs undetected on your computer and monitors every Web site you visit, can change the way your computer operatesand, like any virus, can potentially destroy a computert operating system.

Why someone would want to spend so much time and effort to make people's lives miserable, is beyond me.

But there is good news in the form of a product called Sp),bot Searchand Destroy, which scans your hard drive and not only eliminates splnmre, but "immunizes" your slstem so that it can't be re-downloadedonce it's gone. The best thing is that SpJtot is fiee-though the providers of the software, who should be sainted, do take donations. Visit www.safer-networking.org for more information.

Ailh, I feel better now, how'bout you?

Politicians don't care about you, the young voter. If we turned out in enough numbers this election, then come next election we will be a highly contested demographic. What does this mean?

When the Bustr Administration announced its policy of giving migrating worker status to illegal aliens, it was only for political reasons. Even with this new policy in place, illegal immigration into the United Stateswill remain a problem.

The new policy does not address the inherent flaws of our immigation policies, in both physical and intellectual realms. The only purpose served here, it would appear,is to appeal to family members and {iiends of illegal immigrants to vote for Bush. The poliry is aimed at securing votes for the next election.

This means that come next election, 2008, our demographic of young voters rnight also be given promises or policies to sway us to vote for one candidate or another. This could mean lower

It only goes deeper from here. If young voters tumed out in force, then they will get respect.

Becausethey're women byDawnMadura TheMelroDolitan The sister of a woman savagelyraped and murdered in Ciudad Juarez cried before a crowded room adomed rvith prayer candles and Day of the Dead skeleton statuettes Saturday.

The evenl took place to raise awareness about femicide: the killing of women because tley are women, an ongoing crisis in several Mexican cities. According to "Intolerable Killings: Ten years of abductions and murders in Ciudad ]uarezand Chihuahua," a new report

by Amnesty International, n'hich hosted the eyent on the CU Boulder campus, 370 women have been murdered in Ciudad Juarez and Chihuahua, Mexico, since 1993.Only one case has ended in a com'iclion.

Marilu Andrade, one victim's sister, appeared to shake rvith rage as she described how the Mexican authorities failed to respond to emergencyphone calls after Lilia Alejandra Garcia Andrade's kidnapping, and then contaminated and destroyed evidence found on Aldrade's body 24 hours after her death.

Andrade said the caseof her sister is a small example of how authorities have improperly handled hundreds of casesof woment deaths, and"It is for this reason we believethat officials ... know who the perpetrators are, that they know who is out there killing these women," Aldrade said through a translator.

Since becoming involved with the International Caravan for Justice,which will be speaking in 56 cities between Mexico and Canada, Andrade has grown familiar with many other victims' families.

Andrade's gestures became sharp and furious as she told the stories of a five-yearo1d girl and a 64-year-old wonan who were similarly sexually abused and murdered. The little girl, Andrade added, rvas punched 115 times.

'We realized that in Ciudad ]uarez." said Andrade about the ambiguous victim profile, "people are killing n'omen because they are women."

According to the International Caravan for Justice'sown records and investigation, 4,552 women have disappeared in Ciudad fuarez and Chihuahua since 1993.However,the group claims that local autlrorities only recognizeIo2 disappearances.

"In the eyesof the authorities, there is no problem," Andrade said.

Authorities in Ciudad luarez have convicted one man for the deathsof six of their reported 102 missing women. However, said Andrade, there are allegations claiming this man and others wâ‚Źre tortured into confessing and the bodies of "his" six victims have not been found.

The people responsible for the killingsknown by the statâ‚Ź as "serial killers"-are speculatedto be in'olved in drug trafficking or organized crime. There are also speculations that the killers are crossing the border ftom El Paso,wheresexoffendersare often releasedinto halfirvayhouses.

Spreading across Mexico are, "rumors that those responsible are being protected," Amnesty Internationalt report stated,which is a notion the International Carayan for Iustice fully supports. the Andrade said traveling with International Caravan for Justice has given her a senseof hope, but she explained that it is still very hard for her. Andrade has taken on the responsibility of fighting for and caring for families of manv victims. who she feelsneed her strength.

"I know that one day I'm going to end up just breaking down because itt something that consumesyou completelyi she said.

Stevyn Llewellyn / The Metropolilan < According to the Amnesty International report, President Fox recently declared the femicide in Ciudad Juarez a "national priority," and Mexico's National Human Rights Commission has assigned an independent prosecutorto investigatethe cases.

dthough encouraged by this, the Amnesty International report said, "The women in Ciudad Juarezand Chihuahua would appreciate immediate, effective and concrete government action to improve their safety and resolve existing cases."

On its way through Colorado, the International Caravan for |ustice also stopped at two locations in Denver, including the Auraria Campus Oct. 25.

FloridoFest! loveyour friendsand die laughing

It's amazing what can happen in just three minutes, Three weary travelers packed into a sedan and rambled 3l hours from Denver to Gainesville, Fla. for it. We slept on hardwood floors, ate warm sandwiches and wore dirty socks, but none of it really mattered. Three minutes was all it took to make it worthwhile.

Modestly dubbed "The Fest," over this past Halloween weekend the small college town was host to three days of punk rock, hardcore and all the subgenres in between- Over 70 bands spread out over four venues, all within walking distance of each other.

Baroness, fiom Georgia, highiighted Saturday's slew of shows with unkempt hair and sludge metal guitars that brutalized the crowd. A highly-anticipated AssholeParadereunion turned out much sloppier than expected (but I guess thatt what happens after two years of not playing together). Alt-country twangers Lucero put on their best faces,but ended up disappointingly shonening their set.

Sunday was the final mess of music and the last eight bands, along rvith a couple hundred locals and out-of-towners,ali piled into one venue.

Hometown Gainesville heroes Gunmoll said their farewells for an enthusiatic last show. They played with their hearts on their sleeves and the crowd responded with raised arms and sing-alongchants.

Denver transplants Planes Mistaken

for Stars rocked it next and in the last three minutes of ttteir set,they converted the non-believers.

The ever sensuous Gared O'Donnell put aside his guitar, grabbed the mic and jumped into the audience. Matt Bellinger and Chuck French stayed behind onstage, shirtlessand sweaty,bent over their guitars. Mikey Ricketts pounded away on the drums.

In that moment, they made the thousandsof miles every band and every fan traveled seem unimportant. They brought together this silly community of music nerds and made everything cohesive.

Hot Water Music was just as remarkable. Chuck Ragan's scratchy vocals echoed through the tiny club only to be drowned out by the singing of everyone inside. As native Floridians, they were an ideal end to a weekend of unpretentious rock, new fiiendships and adopted families.

We made it back to Denver in one piece. The kids slept in the back as I drorr all night with Skynr.vd and Sabbath keeping me company.It rained black and I was worried we might end up in a ditch.

Smoking cigarettes and winding down fiom a restless weekend, commercial truck passedme by like giant monsters in the night. I thought I saw mountains on the horizon, but it was just clouds. A thousand miles and three minutes, Can't wait until next year, - Tiryet Nguyen, I U02l(X

olbum reviews Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds AbbatoirBlueslTheLyreof Orpheus (Anti-Records,2004) Nick Cave is quite the renaissanceman. As het built his reputation as an icon of the underground music sceneover the last 30 years or so, het also found tirne to become a published author, a soundtrack composer and movie actor. Now this post-punk icon has tackled one of musict great pretensions,the double album.

The problem with double albums,ofcourse, is that most bands' ambition outstrips their execution. Stretching barely enough ideas for one album into two is asking for trouble.

The result is almost alwaysstuffed with filler and overdone.

Of course, Cave isn't most bands. Het been recording music for a long time and his catalog is well regarded among both critics and fans. This effiort should be a welcome addition to that body of work It's ful1 of the familiar dark balladry, raucous blues-fueledriffs and gospel tinges that have marked his work over the years. In other words, no radical departures here. As usual, he is accompanied by his backing

Both disk manage to maintain a consistent feel while featuring enough variations in dynamics and mood to keep it from getting tedious.Most of the tracks are quite good and it managesto escapethe t)?ical double album trap ofdrowning in its own pretentious Eller and half-baked ideas. Is it overdone?Maybe slightlS but Caveis approaching the status of living legend,so it's easyto overlook.

Besides, Cave seems to think anything worth overdoing is worth overdoing in style. Each disk has its own name, the lyric booklet is printed on heary stock and the whole thing is packaged in a lovely cloth casewith photos of flowers. It's a beautifirl package and the kind of effort that convinces donryrload iunkies to actually"'shell out the cash to own the album.

to FortLewis Metrolosesheartbreaker

by DonaldSmith TheMetrooolitan The mens soccer t€am received a crushing blow Friday, OcL 29, when they lost a heartbreaker to the sixth-ranked Fort Lewis Skyhawks 3-0 in their seasonfinale.

Although the 14-4-1 team suffered a tough fourth loss of the season aod the fact that it could have opened the door to $.egionals; it was also Senior Day for defender Danny Bills.

"It sucks.You always want to win at home in your last game," said a disappointed Bills.

The game started with both sides ready to play, and with a sense of urgenry in their eyes from the opening moment the two squads took the field. Both teams played a virtual ch€ssmatch early as players tried to out-maneuver, out-think and at times out-play the defender in ftont of them. The teams did not give each other much room to work with, let alone move in the game, and they certainly did not allow each other the right, let alone the time, to score a single goal as the contest went into the break tied at zero.

'We had a couple opportunities and we didn't fuish them and we put ourselvesin a situation we shouldn t have and they took advantage of their opportunitiesJ said sophomore forward Phillip Owen.

In the second half, the two teams returned to their mission of trying to break the tie as the team's exchanged chances,but none succeeded.

Finally, after a scoreless tug-of-war t)'pe struggle, Metro broke down first, when midfielder Jonathan Boyer found the back of the net early in the 706 minute of play to give Fort kwis a l-0 lead.

After the fust goal of the match and with Metro needing a victory the team tried to force the Skyhawks into a mistake that might lead to an equalizer opportunity. The adjustment, though, led to Metro giving up a second goal in the 8ld minute, as a ball deflected off a Roadrunner defender gave Fort Lewi3 an insurance tally off an own-goal.

Then, almost three minutes aftenrards, forwards (3vin Hall and Kyle Fredrick destroyed any chance of a comeback when Fredrick took a Hall through-ball and put it behind'keeper David McReavy to score the third goal of the 'Runners regular match, Fort kwis ended the seasonon a dimppointing note 3-0, 'Itk har4 you know, we really wanted to win. We feel wdre just as good as the other team but we'll regroup, we'll come back and we'll beat 'em next weekendl said'keeper McReavy about Fort l€wis.
