won'trun: Gill undecided trVilliams Br \latt Quane mquarte@ut.scd.erltr Metro'sStudentCourt has ordered a specialelection to be held this fall to decide the position of Student Government Assembly president and ro remaining senate seats. The Student Court ruled the special election must be held by Oct. 3r. The decision came in June after the disqualification by the SGA election commission in the spring of oresidential candidate Zod Williams and other senatorial candidates. The court ruled that it could not confirm the position of SGA president due to irregularities during the eiection process surrounding the position and the disqualification of multiole candidates. "The Student Court feels that although questionable actions were made by severalindividuals throughout the election Drocess-such as the inappropriate polling station and the late appointment of replacement Election Commissioners-the actions made by such acting individuals were made in the best interests of the Student Body, and those students believed that their actions were permissible and warranted by policy," the court said in its ruling.

dent is elected. The Election Commission disqualified Williams during the spring election after a complaint was filed against her by Metro student Anna Davis, which cited multiple in{ractions of Colorado state election laws, including the operation of a pril'ate polling station run by Williams and her supporters. Coniplaints were also filed against incumbent candidate Candace Gill, which focused on her late appointment of replacement members to the Election Commission that eventually discualified Williams. Williams told ?he Metropolitan Aug. 18 that she does not intend to run again for the SGA presidencythis fall. Gill had indicated earlier this summer that shewas unsure whether she would run for president in the fall election. Gill did not return calls seeking comment. The presidency was the only contested race in the SGA election this spring. ' Tf,e court has also ordered that an electoral code of ethics be created in order to establish a guideline for the Election Commission to follow should any other controversial actions be taken bv future candidates. Despite the iurmoil, the SGA E\ecutive Council and Senatehave been holding regular meetings over the summer. The Senate has adopted a tern-

Nearly 9t percentof eligibleMetro students made Metro's Aug. r9 deadline to apply for their CollegeOpportunity Fund stipend. But for those studentswho missedthe deadline,Metro hasextendedthe deadline to Sept.7. CbF providesa stipendto wery eligible studentpavins in-statetuition at a Colorado public collJgeor university.This is the fi rsi schoolyearinthestatefortheprogram. After the one-time application, students will receivea notification from Metro every year to authorizethe stipend to be applied ioward their tuition. Studentswho do not apply for the stipend will be responsible to biv ttre full sti:pendamount-on top of tuition. The stipend amount this school year is $8o pertredit hour for undergraduates attendingpublic statecollegesand universities. Students should not expect to see a checkin the mailbox. COFis not financial aid. The stipend is the amount of funds the statewould usually senddirectly to the school,based on the number of students enrolled. Now, that money will go directly to the student, who must authorize its ise. This meansthe money goesback to the school, or the student has to pay the stipend amount. For example,$r,zoo is given for a student enrolled in r5 credit hours per sernester. As of last week, r.92,969eligible students state-wide had applied for COF. Somestudentshaveexperiencedproblems with signingup for the program due to entering fhe incorrect socialsecuritynumber and name on the application. This ircorrect information causesa delayin processins - the application. "The bioblem that the schoolis experiencingwith this new program is students needto take the time to completethe onetime online application," said Metro Registrar ThomasGray. The state legislature will annually set the specifiedamount of stipend per credit hour, which will bethe samefor eacheligiregardlessof the state ble undergraduate, colleseor universitvthe studentattends. E6chstudentcin applyfor COFfor up to 45 credit hours. If a student is unable to completetheir bachelor'sdegreewithin the r4s credit hours, they can apply for a one-time wavier through the Colorado Commissionon Higher Education. Gov.

"I just think rcck walls can be a ton of fun," said Ellen McGuiness, an Outdoor Adventure employee.'It can also be a social thing, especiallyif you are using ropes."

This partner will alsohelp guidethe climber up the wall becausemany climbers don't think laterallv. "The secondtechnique,bouldering is a free-form way of climbing done without any ropes or assistance.Although the height limit is ro feet, meaning many will climb laterally, the risk of falling still exists and climbers must receivea certification card.

Schultz said that according io Metro's faculty phone list there are 7ro part-time instructors listed. Numbers from the U.S. Department of Education show that for the fall zoo3 semester, 6zo part-time instructors and 482 fuIl-time insrmctors were employedat Metro. A study by C.M. Hay, Ph. D., a part-time instmctor at Metro in the Earth and Atmospheric SciencesDepartment, statesthat 49.51percentof all listed classesat Metro weretaught by adjunct, or part-time instructors. The largest disparity of part-time and firll-time instructors resides in
the philosophydepartmentwhere zo instructors are part-time and four instructors are full-time. About 75 percent of all philosophy courseswere taught by part-time instructors. Schultz said Metro's faculty senate has been supportive and that PresidentStephenJordan alsoseems supportive. "At this stage,we're getting good cooperation,"Schultzsaid. Tim Gould, president of Metro's AFT chapter and a full-time philosophy instructor, said economically speaking,referendumsC and D must passfor Metro to reach its projected budgetto support more full-time protessors.

I still like that idea: fresh starts are good for the soul, or so I've heard. Soit is with this semester'sfirst edition of ?he Metropolitan that we bring you a fresh start, a new look, a new mission.
forcure, ofolime onesfep Journey My parentsknew a married couph that had AIDS when I wasmuch younger, rraybe 7 or 8 yearsold. I rememberwe visited them oncefor dinner. As we drove to their apartmeDt,my parentstold us about the siclaressthey had; They told us we coulilnt gst it from them and to act asthough werything wasfne. But werything wasnt fine. Even though I was a kid and the conceptof death wasstill dim. I felt a senseof doom over them. I didnt want to touch their silverwareor sit in their chairc, and I ditln't saymuch to them. It was uncomfortable.I wassad and ashamed. When I signedupfortheAIDSWalk with the Auraria Team,I askedfor donationsfrom everyoneI knew. It was easy.I simply e-mailed everyoneI knew.
Howwer, my grandmother wrote back to sayshewouldnt donatebecauseshebelievesAIDS is preventable. I haven't dignified that with an answer ye!'becausearent a lot of diseases preventablein one senseor another?If yorrrlont want Lyme disease,don't walk in the woods.If you dont want malaria, don't let aay mosquitoesbite you. Ifyou don't want a cold, don't let anyonecorne near you, ever.Ifyou dont want lung caricer,dont smoke,or better 5ret,move awavfrom the citv. But that's not-the point. The whole point of the AIDS Walk is to raise moneyfor the ColoratloAIDS Project,whid not only servesmore than r,8oo peoplewith HIV and AIDS per year,but alsohas outreachand educationprogramsto help prevent HIV
from spreading.Becauseevenif it is pre ventable,it's still here. Peoplestill get it all the time, and not just thosewho take the risk by sharing a needleor a night with a stranger. You can still get it evenifyou personally take everyprecaution, While I walked the five kilometers with the hundred3of others at Cheesman Park on Sunday,the memory of that couplecameback to me. the wife had unknowingly contracted the HW virus while working in a hospital-an accidentalneedleprick, perhaps-and yet, witl her love, she gaveit to her husband. In thosedays,the late'8os,there wasn't a lot of hope or help for those withAIDS. Ttre coupledied a year later.

Firs! the new mission: Sincemy early daysofcopy editing this paper (somethitrgIte donefor the past two. and-a-halfyears),I havealwaysthought we could do a betterjob of reachingyou, tle Metro student. Everymeho studenteverystudeDton tlre Auraria Campus, for that matter-has a story; our job here *The Metroplitcn is to bring you that story in the most fair, balance4 accurate and conciseway possible.We havemade it our mission to coverstories that matter to Metro students,storiesthat afrectyou and storiesabout you. Whether it's about Metro's student government,new buildings on campus,or a new club in town. If it's important to you, it's important to 'us. But we needyour help. We need your input, your ideas;we needto know what's important to you. Included in each sectionis the e-mail addressof the section editor; bylines and photo credits also include e-mail addresses.Think of this asan invitation to contactour writers, photographersand editors with mmpliments,criticism, corrections,evenstory ideas.This is your newslmper;we want you to be a part ofit. If there's somethinghappeningon campusthat getsunder your skin (and believeme, there will be), something you're involved in, somethingon your mind you want the whole campusto know about, we invite you to senda letter to the editor. Ifyour group, team or club has an event coming up, let us know about it. Pressreleasescanbe dropped off at The Of6ceof Student Media Tivoli Room 3r3 or mailed to the addresson the next page. Ifyoute read us before,you may havenoticed a completelynew look for The Metropolitan. I have neverbeena fan of cosmeticchangesfor their own sake,but I think thesechangeswill make tle paper easierto read, easierto follow anil just plain nicer to look at. I wish I could saythe new look was my doing, but I can't becauseit wasnt. Nic Garria, our Insight sectioneditor, de. servesall the credit. Nic spent the better part of the summer, on his own, coming up with the newdesipyou nowhold in your hands. So,as Ron Burgunrly would say thanks for stoppiugby. We hopeto hear from you soon.

Blockfrom your consciousmemory the adsyou seeon TV, on the radio,and on the sidesof busesreminding you to headto a certain store to buy all the things you needto 'get back to school." We don't needitl . quiteSomeof us haven'tneededit for sometime. The words'backto-school"no longerhold the same level of dreadthey did when we were slavesto the public schoolsystem.Now that phrasemeanswe haveto tell our bosseswe can't be in until a certain time becausewe haveclass.Our world has changed.Maybeit's our age.Maybeit's our perspective.Whateverit is, it means somethingdifferent to us now than a few yearsago. For someof us,high schoolwasa long time agoand, the daysof going with Mom to the mall for somenew "BackTo-Schoolclothes"seemslike a distant memory. For others who arejust joining the collegesceneafter four blistering yearsof high school,this tradition might still be alive; but not for much longer. We havetranscendedthe needto buy a new pair of pantsand a newshirt to start off the schoolyear. Collegehasmadethe majority of us very utilitarian in our shoppingand spendinghabits. We no longer spend moneyfor want (unlessit's a reallygood happyhour); instead,we shopfor need. This conceptonly becomesclear to us oncewe attendour first collegeclasses. We no longerfeelthe needto go schoolsupply shoppinganymore.When I begancollege-oh, solong ago-I went out and bought everykind of school supply I thought I would ever need.kss than a semesterlater, I returned to the store and bought a largeplastic storagebox to put saidsuppliesin. In the utilitarian tradition, I found all I needed werepensand paper.OccasionallyI'll cligout a highlighter, but there endedup being no needfor a single-holepunch, an industrialstapler,a t-square,gallonsof White-out, and the plethora of other uselessjunk that still occupiesa small corner of my living spacesix yearsafter the fact. In tmth, all we as collegestudents needare pens and paper and maybea small stapler. That'sit. I walk into my local office-supply store and find the school-supply shoppinglists for the local elementary, middle, and high schoolsand it reads like the inventory from a large company's supply room. My r6-year-old sister had to go out and buy three different kinds.of tri$htighters lastj'ear becausehei ieachers demanded it of her and the rest of her classmates.

Ratherthan slam your opponent, why don't you pay attention to the studentsand ask what they want? Is it merely that you haveforgotten that it is, after all, our campus? While trying to get along with the new president of the campusis certainly helpful, there is a whole student body
We want intelligent representa ti ves w /to"speak'on behalf of their student body Get back to basia and meet your delegation.W'eltaee ltad enough... that has beencompletelyignored. The irony is that studentsare a rather talkative bunch. For somereason, however,we are trained not to talk to our representatives.Now I turn the guilty finger to us, the students. Havewe tmly becomesolazy that we arewilling to give up our rights? Or did wejust stop caring that peopleare using us aspuppets?It is time to demand rather than whine and it is time to act. or acceptthat you are not willing to be a participant in your life!

The most important figurc in the past 50 yearsof music wasnt a musician or a composer,but an engineer.From the moment Rob€rtMoog (pronouncedto rhyme with vogue) built his first synthesizerin 1964, the soundof musicwasforwer changed. Moog died on Aug. zr, of brain canc€r.He was71. With a shockof wavy,white hair and a pocket-protector fashion sense,Robert Moog looked more like a crossbetweena mad scientist and a kindly grandfather than the godfather of electronicmusic. Due in largepart to his influence,synthesizershavebecomea ubiquitous presencein almost everygenreof music. Although he didn't technically invent the synthesizer, before Moog began building them they were nothing but curiosities in academicmusic labs. His modrdar systemswere.the first commercially available electronic instruments. Roughly the size of a wardrobe, weighing several hundred poun<Is,and very expensive,they were a tool for a few adventurous and well-heeledsouls.When WendyCarlos'Sruitched On Bcch, an album of Bachpiecesrealizedentirely on her Moog modular system,becamea hit, tbe world at large became aware of this shange new instrument. The successof the album sparrmed dozens, if d
hundreds, of gimmicly irnitations and helped Moog sell his instruments faster than he could make them. Rock.musiciansquicHy gravitated towards these instruments and the bold, new soundsthey produced. The Beatlesused them. Keith Emersonbuilt his entire musicalidentity around them. Later, synthesi#rs helpedto definewhole new genresof music. Moog followed up his enormous,fragile modular systemswith a number of smaller, cheaperand easier to use synths. The introduction of the Minimoog in r97o was an wolutionary leap forward, making it possiblefor the averageworking musician to explore the incrediblepotential of synthesis.Offering the base functionality of his giant modular systemsin a portable, affordableand easyto usepackage,the Minimoog createdthe market for synthesizersand hastenedtheir acceptanceinto the vocabularyof popular music.
The Minimoog was a smashingsuccess.Its design was elegant and its sound was incredible. Capable of pncducinganything from warm, soft "string" and "horn" soundsto earth-shakingbassto squealing,discordant outer-spacenoises, it was easy to integpte iDto most any style.MusiciansquicHy fell in lovewith it and bought it in dmves.It was usedto sweetenpop songsand to createbold, jarring timbres that suggested entirely new mwical forms. ..:: It wasnt long before dozens of companiesfol.lOwedhis lead and began producing instruments to ompete with Moog. His company,Moog Music, continued to refine the technolory and add featuresinto '.latermodels.Despiteplenty of fierce competition,the word synthesizerwassynonymouswith Moog in most people'sminds until digital synthsbeganto overtake '.the market in the early'8os. I Moog continued to createand sell electronicmuinstnrments throughout his life, all bearing his sound and unique touch. Today, his vintage fetch incredible prices from collectors enthusiasts. Companies that specialize in the tenanceand modification of his synthesizersdo healthy business.Softwaredesignedto emulatethe boundsof his classicinstmments is popular amongtoday's generationof electronic musicians.Bandssuch as Thelonious Moog, First Moog Quartet, and The Moog Cookbooktook his name as part of their own. Hipsterssport t-shirts and has bearingthe distinctive MoogMusiclogo. Itt safe to say that without Moog, the history of music, especiallypop music, would be very different. Wholegenres,from newwaveto techno,aredefinedby the soundof the synthesizer.His creationsbroadened the sonic palette availableto musicianslike nothing beforeor since.For more than 4o years,Moog furned scienceand technologz into strange, beautifuI and bold new sounds.Music will neverbe the same,and the world is better for it. Thanks,Bob, and goodbye.We'll missyou.

Motheuter style 0ntheroqdogoin, Story And Photos ByTir"r'etNguyen nguyntye@mscd.edu rflour doesn'tmake any sense.Especiallyin the hands of an I undergroundrock band,the entire ideaofit isjust impractical. Takeone van and cram an entire band plus equipment and maybethrow in one or two friends for good measure.Then route a city by city itinerary tmsting that acrosseachnew horizon there will be a venueto rock out in and hopefirlly a couch/floor to sleep on. Becomeaccustomedto the delicaciesof truck stop food and rely on selling t-shirts and other cheapmerchandiseto make gas and food money.Really,tour is an acquiredtaste. There'salso something to be said about touring with, say,a band like Aerosmith versustouring with a small band from Denver that has never really been outside of the Rocky Mountain region before.Aerosmith has tour buses,managers,catereddinners,groupies,expensivelighting, and a guaranteeto get paid for eachperformance.Motheater,alsoknown as My SummerVacation, graciouslyacceptedme astheir road mother for a little over two weekson their recenttrek acrossthe United Statesand. suffice it to say they are no Aerosmiti. But that doesn'tmean they don't party ashard (or probably evenharder). Everything that happens on tour bemmqs "we." We stayed up for nearly z4 hours in las Vegasand then went swimming at 6 am. We nearly lost an expensivebasshead and had to drive hours out of the way to retrieve it. We spent about four daysin California and didn't get paid a dime. We survived the heat of Arizona and illegally campedin the woods.We made it through the Midwest,Northwest,West Coast,and the desertin a cramped van and we're still friends. For the bands and road buddies who brave the open road, tour is an experiencenot too often capturedin words.fhere's no real way to describethe bonds that are creatednight after night with total strangers.There'sno way to re-tell an insidejoke that lastsfor 15daysstraight or to understandnewlycreatedvernacular amongband mates.There'sno euphemismor rnetaphorsuffrcient to really capturethe strangesatisfactionof not showering for daysand being absolutelycomfortablewith iL Essentially,tour comesdown to this: being broke, hungry, and smellybut neverwanting to comehome. What follows is a three way conversationafter a house show in la Grange,Ill. featuring Mike Reisengerof Motheater, Nick Mielke of LazerMountain, and Jeff Qastnameunknown) of Holy Smokesinterviewing eachother and basicallybeing as, um, serious aspossible. Tuyet: First, introduce yourselves Jeff: I'm Brew City from Brew City, Ill. of the band Holy Smokes. Mike: I'm Randy McCIoudof the band Motheater from Denver,Colo. Nick They call me KennesawJim... that or WhiskeyJim from KennesawMountain Georyia.Otherwiseknown asNick Mielke from I ^zerMountain. Mike: Holy Smokes!What's it like being an up-and-coming band and struggling in the harsh adversityof stardom? Jeff: It's like a donkeytrying to pull a cart through a town of jackasses. Nic.k Okay if you were stranded on a desertedisland and could only taketen things and two people,what and who would theybe? Jeff: Ten things and two people?Flashlight, Brew City, an entire '7os classicrock record collection without a record player so I canjust look at them,a monocle... Mike: Don't be ridiculous. Jeff: ...Iube,tacos,tacos,gra\y. Tuyet: Now, two people. Jeff: Nick Mielke and this man (points to Mike). Ttryet: Now ask McClouda question. Jefr: So,what's it like being in the Mile High Club? Mike: Well ... (pause)As a teenagerliving on [.ong Island at sealevel, I thought, man I'm nevergonna be in the Mile High Club. But then at the tender ageof 16when my retired parents movedme to Grand Junction, Colo.,from then on everysingle time I've had sex, I've joined the Mile Higb Club. So I've reinitiated myself,like, I don't know, how many times haveI had sex?Fourtimes? Jefr: Seriously,be honest. Mike: 4r7 times. I'm like the Captain of the Mile High Club. Okay,no more questions. Tlryet: What about Nick? Jeff: What's it like to hump your bestfriends favorite girl? Nick First of all, it was his ex-girlfriend. And it was pretty awesomeexceptI wason Dexatrinso I couldn't get an erection, no matter what. Mike: He felt nothing. Nick I got the royal treatment but, like, I just wasn't up to it.
