Francone said that residents should expect to see minor ll'ork go on for the ffrst few weeks after moving in, but all major work in the ffrst phase has been completed and inspections have all gone well and without any major problems. Information regarding the move-in has been difficult to obtain for some shrdents. John Mchopoulos, a freshman at Meho, is set to live at The Regencn but is still living out of a bag. "I just found out today," Michopoulos said Monday, referring to the delayed move-in, "I wouldn't have found out at all had I not called. They said they emailed me, but I checked my email last night' but there wasn't anything." Michopoulos is excited by the prospect of meeting and living with fellow students, yet, like Halvorson, has been waiting to get information on his soon-to-beroommate. "I drove down there on Friday io drop off my check and they said they couldn't ffnd out then becausethe system was down or someone was accessingthe system," Mi choooulossaid. aThey said they wouid call me and give me some basic information on (my roommate),but they never did." But Michopoulos is trying to keep a positive attitude. ult's one of those things rvhere you can get mad, but nothing is going to happen if you get mad." Consb:ucfon of the second phase of the projec! which includes the north wing of the hotel, the swjrrning pool and the outdoor student lounge, will continue through the winter, with completion expected by JanuTy. The once golddomed roh:nda caught fire over the su[lmer, forcing the bui]ders to change from the original plan of using the area as an indoor lounge. 'Diflerent people are blaming difierent people (for the fue), but the dome was ge ing to be our lounge area; now, it is going to be in ohase two and we made it an outdoor seating area," said I-ola Salazar, director of the project and wife of The Regencf s owner and develooerV. Robert Salazar. According to N{endoza, accommodations have been made for the handful of students and their families staying in hotels, with special rates being worked out until they can be moved in. Brian Saxon, a Community Assistant for the new projecl is excited to begin his year living and working at The Regency.

The problems that riddled Metro's Student Govemment election aren't rlnique. "Elections get thrown out every yeax due to some sort of shenanigans,"Oxendine said. Still, Metro seemsto have dug ibelf into a deeper hole than anyone on the inside mav realize. "We have not encountered a shrdent government with ttfs many problems in quite a long time," Oxendine said. "Is your shrdent govemment arry good? No. It needs improvement' Oxendine said the structure of dre SGA last year was one of its biggest faults. A school with an enrollment of over 20,000 shrdenb needs its shrdent govemment to be larger and more representalive of the strrdent bodv. Oxendine said the muluple vice president positions zufiocated the president and did lide more than tail their counterParb in the adminisbation. "It is going to take leadenhip from the highest levels of your school to ffx all the issues." Oxendine said The SGA *ill have two direct means of 'highest levels" of cornmunication with &e Metro's administration this year.

"Without the time to set up the sordent govenment I wanted, we would just wind up in another debacle,' Williams said. She said she had pla'rs to give lobbying baining to the executive council and senatorsin order to push for shrdent rigbts on issuessuch m Referendums C and D. *The one good thing to corne out of this is that the shrdenb fnally have been reached and are p:r sionate about something,' Williams said. She said she's had many strdenb approach her to ask questions about the student government and express interest in ge$ing involved *The unfortuate thing is that shrdent government is going to revert to its donothing -ayc" Williams said. said it is the donothing repu Oxendine 'the talion of SGA that has sent strdents' interesb scurrying away from the organization to begin with. "Why would someone get involved (in) a donothing organization?" Oxendine said. "Your SGA has a need to improve their PR and their image." Maintaining positive public relafiors is one of the SG,{s goals this year.

By Svetlana Guineva guineua@mscd.edu Education and culnral exchange can bring two countries or two peoples to a better undentanding of each other, Or at least to make an effort In May, two Mebo faculty members found another way to build a bridge from the West to the Easr Ken Keller, an anthro pologist, and Adolph Grundman, a Metro history professor,taught at Chinese universi[es as paxt of an educational program facilitated by the Univenity of New England in Maine, They were part of the Academic Scholars hogram, which collaborates with univenities in Chin4 Taiwan and Nigeria. Certain universities from those courtries invite American faculty from all disciplines to lechrre. The participants, however, choose to lechrre on an area within their exPedise that will benefit their Chinese class. Keller, who is the dean of Meho's School of Irters, Arts and Sciences, spent three weeks at *re Guangri Normal University in the Chinese city Guilin. There he lectured on American anthropology and culurre, and the purpose and goals of higher education. Keller said he'd always wanted 0o go to China. As an anthropologisl his interesb and research have always been directed to ward Southeastlisia and the impact Chinese merchants have left on the area througbout the cenhrries. So, he started packing-when tre opporhrnity carne his way. "The people were so kind so gracious," Keller said. -They were very hoqpitable and ready to help at all times." Outside campus, he tried to lose himself on the stseetsof Guilin so he could explore on his own with camera in hand. : He saw a McDonald's restaurant as an indicalor of the American influence spread ing around the world. "The booming ecorr omy surprised me,' Keller said. During his lecnreg Keller said, the

They wanted him to comPare Chinese and American higher educarion, he said. Keller also talked about the economic impact a higber education irstitrrtion could have on the community. "There was a wall surrounding the entire carnpus," Keller said "I used it as a symbollc damplg to sbow the universit's r6tatot from the cornnunity,' The university tained teachers but they couldn't see how their shrdenb would have an impact on the curriculum later when they'd- go out to teach at K-12 schools, Keller said.
-The surdents were charrning," Keller said. They followed him arormd asking questions and wanted to Practice their English speaking skills. But bv the end of his visit Keller said he felt he had just scratched the surface of Chinese culure and t'aditions. '"It is zuch a complex culture," he said "There is so much that I missed." Bapk:in Denver, &ere were prelirninay talks with the administration to stat an exchange progr-am btl"g"g Chinese faculty to teach at Meho.

As trains of weeping Israeli setden left their homes tn Gaz last wee\ dre global corD[runity began to chafter about a steP toward peace between Israel and Palestine' The dominant media oudeb promoted this as a transition that put hime Minister Ariel Sharon at odds with his p"ny. Others began projecting dreams of peace in a region plagued by war for the past 38 years. If this was tsuly a conhoversial move straying from Sharon's party, why it his atr proval raling at 59 percent as reported by Ncuszltceklast week? Why was there a zuicide bomb in Beershebafrom IslamicJihad on Sunday if the conflict was truly ending? Why were three unarmed Palestinian teenagen killed by an Israeli Defense Force raid Friday in Tulkarem, a Gaza Strip refugee camp, if Palestiniars $rere gaining autonG my? ' The answer is simple. Israel did not concede when it removed setdemenb from Gaza or the West Bank. In hct' Sharon was geting exacdy what he wanted. The Gaza Strip was an imperative location in 2000, and with all the Israelis out of this territory, it is now free to become a fullfledged gheto fenced in by barbed wire and Israeli Defense Force gu.ardtowers. The Grassmots Palestinian AntFApart heid Wall Campaign released a statement last Wednesday saying the inhumane and unlawirl occupation of Palestinianterritories was hr from over when the seulen of the Gaza Stip and four of t30 West Bank settle ments left dreir homes.

These dogs, and any dog that looks like a pit bull, are barured from Denver. The animal's acnral behavior is not considered-just the breed-when terminating their existence. Enacted in April the ban gave guardians only 30 days to remove thelr dogs from the city or face prosecution The misdemeanor penalty for owners harboring a Pit bull is a ffne of up to $1,000 and a year in jail. Since May, more lhan 3S dogs have b€€n Lnpounded and at least 2(i0 destsoyed. I carr not believe that we are allowing Denveds
legislature to kill our beloved pets. -The Councilwoman Carol Boigon says, problem is the specific breed is used for dog fighting and to protect drug prernises and they're trained to be rough." My question to you, then, is whether or not there is a problem with the breed or the owner? I personally own a Pit bull and know ffnt hand that the problem lies in the owner's inhumane freaknent, not a predis position toward aggression.From my many experienceswith pit bulls trey are loyal and lo"itg. I undentand that the city council is eying to protect the citizens of Denver from vicious dog arbcks, but a ban on pit bulls will not accomplish tltit go"l. The best way to ensure public safety is to enad a "dangerous dog law" that would hold individual guard-
ians responsible for thea dog's aggression, regardless of the breed, and enforce heavy ffnes or jail time for guardians whose dogs engagein violent behavior. I, therefore, urge Denver to reverse the ban on pit bulls and pass an efrective dangerous dog law. There is one such sanchraryin the southem Colorado mountain town of Divide, just 100 miles away from Denver. Foster homes for Denver pit bull Pets are desperately needed until owners are able to move out of the city.

Know th neighboa knori tb, self I was holling about campus watching shrdentswalking from classto class,congre. galing between buildings and making up the last mosaic ttral is Meto, As the days went on the people w-alking by didn't seemso chatty. People startedmaking less eye contact and more fooQrinis. This struck me as rather odd. This is not to say people on this campus are anti-social, but compared to a haditional campus we are less inclined !o meet new peoole. When I startedhere, I didn't Lo* *h,, this was.I didn't know why people did not throw parties at their respective houses or apartrnents Iike they did in my first goarormd at college. Then this week it dawned on me: we axe a commuter camDus. There are no dormitories or, ."-p,r.. According to last week's Mctropolitan, Tl:re Regt cy will open ib doors as a sh.rdent housing complex for Auraria shrdenb. However, The Regency will only have 180rooms to offer this semester.Iast time I checke4 lhere were almost 40,C[0 strdents on the Auraria campus and lff) rooms does not do the "dorm experience" justice. Most rmiversities have their housing on the grounds of the school. The Regency is not located anywhere near campus. I remember my old college days where you saw dormdwellers who had iust rolled out ofbed l0 minutesbefore clasi and auended lechrres in their pqjarnas.Now, for some of us, it is a major eventjust to get to class. The dorms force a camaraderie with the studenb therein. People on ea"h floor bond as sort of a family that lools out for one another because they share a roof- But the dorms are more than lust a roof under which to do homework or sleep; they are the epicmter of college life for many. They force cohabitation with people some of us would not think of associatinswith. I lived in the dorms at III{C and it was a unique and eye{pening experience-an experience every college sbrdent should have. In a couple of years, there will be dorms practically on campus and, aJ that time, this argument will be mooL But the problern still remains in the here and now. But fear nol I have witnessedsomething I have not found at any other college: congregation. To make up for not bonding in dorms, students make every event a social occasion. This summer, I witnessed what seemed to be a pick-up game of kickball on the field outside of the Tivoli that had an unusually large crowd. People were cheering for both sides and the excitement in the air was sometldng I had found only at major spofing evmb. I guess this campus is not completely anti*ocial, but it still has a long way to go to lose the aura of said label. Your assignment for next week: talk to someonenew on campus.It doesn't malter if you have to stop them dead in their hacks between classes, just talk to someone new. It will be a small step toward a befrer and friendlier czunpus.

Bathroom politics,to.lead reaolutrcn
The old adage goes: rhink globally, act locally--sound words to Iive by. As every politician knows, real change begins in the sheet, not way up in the statehouse. I would argue that change begins even lower. And what is any lower than the sffeet? Whn the sewer, ol course. But I'm not talking about the sewer exacdy-I'm talking about the campus john. Where besides a public restoom a.re we better able to examine our most base social and political selves? Many of the issues that emerge in the campus john reflect a larger political spectrum. Take freedom of speech as an ex:unple. No sooner does some aspiring scribe brandish a marker and sound off on a stall. than maintenance comes along and blots the messageouL Why this censorship?I say let the mes sages stay. Thoug[ adrDitedly, much of what geb written is sophomoric and uninqpired racial unearing or simple sexual rep artee. Take up your Sharpies!Iet us transform our stalls into the political sounding boards they are meant to be. Of course,there axeserious enviromental issues that need be considered. Most of the johns have only the automatic blowdryers available for hand drying. To mann this is probably sound environmental policy. Why cut down trees for paper towels? . Now, I'm a tee lover, I'll hug trees with the best of you. But I'm a river lover, too. The enerry companies don't harness the elechicity it takes to mn those hand dryers out of the by kit" and shing.

At least they're not hlpocrites like the armchair tree huggers in dreir granola garb who go two rorlnds on the dryers and flush before, during and after.

I would like to alert everyone to a misunderstood fact men have bowel movements. It seemsthe fellow who urinated all over the toilet seat in the Tivoli the other day didn't know (hal Otherwise, why would he have committed zuch a foul? Shocked? Women might be. This is so commonplace in the men's johns. Bu! ap parendy, for some, lifting the toilet seat requtes too much effort and su-ain. This is where it all begins.

This year promisesto be an exciting year to be involved here aJ Meho, as we have a new presidenl StephenJordan, who has the vision and experience necessaryto take the college to new heigbts.

every viable option available to studenb to provide them with the most choicesavailable to them to reduce this cost to a manageable level. Another area of opportmity lies in keeg ing Mebo as an afordable, high quality og tion for shrdenb, for fiesh out of high school aswell as for non-traditional sbrdenb seeking a second degree or a career change. Becauseof the economic sihration Colo rado has been faced with over the past few years,fimding for higher education has been cut at an alarming rate, manifesting ibelf in tuifion hikes, like the 28 percent that just occurred at the University of ColoradoBoulder.

The University of C o l o r a do atDenver's p erformmg ans proS ram began the Fall semes-

during the
seme$er. I ne "p.:*TC entnuslastic cas! comprised of UCD
Students, faculty and alurnni, is expectâ&#x201A;Źd to continue rehearsing tlre piece throughout the next few months.
The execution of the material was aJ an a$ tounding level, considering the play is in its preliminary stagesand recent additions to the scriothave been made. The play is an adaptation of tw'o dark Neo-Romantic-eratales. Act one was a brief 2Gminute inhoduction to a rather complicated story. Tenaciously crafted and precisely executed, it was quick to caphre the audience'sattention.The beginning portion is based on Inngfellow's poenr, "Acadia's English Inhabitation." The mlth follows one young woman, who observesthousandsof her loved onesbeing cap tured on her wedding day. Tragedy ensuesas the Engtish enslaveall of Acadia's men and make them indentured servanb. Devastated, but dedicated to her engagement,she continues to search relentlessly for fulfillment. To establishthe feeling of turmoil, the begiruringrelies heavily on orchesh:atedmusic and fluid movements of the acton. The chemisty of the castand the lucid mannerisms merge the brutality of violence with a heartbreaking beauty. It is easyto recognZe the intent to strike at the audience's emotions, as the cast is systematicallyexpressive and zuccessfirllydemonstrative. The ffnt half was captivating, as it portrayed the dramalic elemenb of war and loved ones being tom in different directions. Yet the harsition as the woman searchesfor her missingfiancâ&#x201A;Ź in America flounders. This may be due to a time lirnitations. Further development of the piece is anticipated in the
upcoming productjon. nCircumferenceof Darkness" closeswith 45 minutes dedicated to Oedipus. This tragic tale of the queen who bears her son's children is presentedin an extremely professionaI manner. Talented cast memben ensure that the vigor of the piece is demonshated through clever execution.The processionof incestuousrelalionships was delivered nearly flawlessly.The dramafic intentions of violence and beta,val were commandingly portayed *rough deliberate and effective stage presence.Wbile "Circumference"doesn'trestore any idealistic romantic intentions, it does explore the ffne line between love and tragedy. UCD's next oroduction will run OcL 15 throush Nov. 6 at The CU-Denver Studio Theatre. The olav is titled "The Sun That You Are'-eanslated from the Spanish "El Sol fue Tu Eres."Tony Garcia'spiece is inspired by the foreign ffhn "Black Oqpheus," releasedin 1960.The location of'The Sun That You Are' has been moved from Brazil to Mexico and is set arormd the Day of the Dead celebration. The production exploresthe mltls of Eurydice and re+stablishesthe tale of Orpheus. "Sun" will incolporate a combination of Greek and Aztec mythology, as well as ancient rituals.

Despite the win, Sanchez seesroom for improvement "Even though we had seven goals, our ffnishing needs to be more decisive. We won't get this many chances every game," Sanchezsaid. There is a lot of pressure on the Roadrunners to succeed this season. The defending Division II National Champions cane into the season ranked No. I in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference and in the nalion. Hanavan was cha. sen as the prese.rsonPlayer of the Year and Leidrliter and senior defensiveback Stephanie Prouty earned preseason AII-RMAC honon. Hanavan, {or one, isn't about to get comfortable with preseason honors and rankings.
"It's awesome to get honors like drat" Hanavan said. "But then ag"ainit's just pre seasonand we have a whole season.I need to prove (the honor) and the team needs to prove (the ranking)." Kilbey matched Hanavan Friday with two goals of her own and freshman Vanessa Mais scored in minute 86 to finish off the struggling Spartans,who had their ov*n goal just two minutes earlier.Junior Kira Sharp assisted Hanavan on her ffnt goal and played a key role in dominating the Roadrunner's possessionand pushing the ball up ffeld. The Roadnrnners blasted 19 shobongoal compared to only two shots from the Spartalrs, Freshman goalkeeper Rachel Zollner ffelded both shob cleanly before leaving the goal box in the hands of sophomore Sarah Iconhard.
