A hislory revisited . Metro students re-era,mlne e hicanopast Bv SvetlanaGuineva guineoa@mscd.erlu Dvery year on Sepr 15, the celebration of Hispanic heritage and culure begirs.

As with any other racial or ethnic group, the activides send out to the world a simple message:If you want progressivechange and growth, roll up your sleeves and immerse yourself in the arduous task of selfdetermination. Through knowledge, ffnd out who you are and where are you corning from, and be proud of it.

One way to do this is to tum back to history and fill in the blanls.

A Metro group called I-os Herederos of Change and F-speranza(the Heirs of Change and Hope) has taken it uPon its shor. ders to cross and look beyond long-established borden and limitations, including challenging the curriculum of Chicano Studies.

"We have inherited a new t'?e of struggle," said Daniel Salcido, president of I-os Herederos and a Metro shrdenL "It is our responsibility to leam from the past and ap ply ttre knowledge in agreementwith today's changes."

Part of Los Herederos' efforts to expose social sbuggle in ib variow forms has been the facilitating of a wide range of spealers.

Thev invited local and national heroes, who have been a part of revolutionary movements at one time or another.

In their own revolutionary wan the academic club has challenged the curriculum of Chicano Studies at Meho for leaving out the voices of the Chicano cornrnunity in Colothe Beyond Chi' rado, The studenb started canismo OraJ History hoject, meant to ffll in the blanks of Colorado's Chicano history.

The bylaws, which were written by new cornrnission chair Richard Boettrrer along with forrner Metro student trustee Harris Singer and members of the SGA senate, outline new provisions on special elections and proper conduct of candidates.

Voting for a special election will be held OcL 24 through OcL 30 to tll the presidential oosition and 1l contested senatorial seats leit rmfilled after the election during the Spring Semester.

Following the disqualiffcation of presidenfral candldate Zoe Williams and other candidates by *re commission during the spring election, the Sh:dent Court nrled that an electoral code of ethics must be created, and that a special election must be held by Oct.31.

Any Meho strrdent wishing to run for president or any of the open senatepositions must complete an intent-to-run forrn, along with the requisite number of signahres, by Sept 28. Both forms are available at the

. New outdoor rec program seeks .t

tngqlaement ByTim Esterdahl testerda@mscd.edu The Outdoor Advenire Center has releasedis program guide for the school year, offering what program leaders call a range of inexpensive, yet valuable leaming experi ences for all sh.rdenb.

"We really want to be a valuable part of the zuccessof the institutions on this campus and we don't want to double up on what other people are doing," said Lynnea Ada.s Ingebrebon, strdent coordinator for the Ad vent-ue l*adenhip hogram, "We want to bring unique and new opportrnities trat will obtain speciffc zuccessthat all the instihtions are talking about-diversity and retention."

The guide lisb a total of 108items, sched uled on different days and at different times before the end of the school year, providing plenty of opportmities for shrdenb to join in. Prices for these evenb range from free to $24O,with the majority belng around $5.

Most of the evenb require lifile to no experience. Meeting places vary, althougb most take place on, or begin on crmpus.

Several evenb indude diversity leadership retseatsand brown-bag lunches to bring multiculh.fa] shrdens together to foster a better understanding of cultures. A weekend retseat Feb. 1l-12, wjll be the higblight of these evmb, as the shrdentswill spend time at the Snow Mountain Randr. This will offer sbrdentsa chance to discussdiversity and an opportmity !o enjoy the outdoors.

Other events include different hiking expeditions for people who may have never been to the mountains, indoor and outdoor

SGA oftce, located in Tivoli Room 307.

SGA interim hesident Dennis Bergquist estimatedthat at least24 shrdentshad picked up in0ent forms as of SepL 20.

All shrdentswho meet the oualificatiors to run in the election will begin their campaigning on Oct 3.

The reMsed election commission bylaws qpeci| that only Meto computer labs are recognized as official polling st"tions, however because voting is conducted electronically, online, through MetroConnec! any student can vote legitimately fiom any computer. This provision was added due to the disqualification of Williams based on a complaint from Metro student Arma Davis, who accusedWiliams and her supporters of violating state law by conducting a private polling station.

Seuing up a private polling station could carry a violation of l0 points, a new provision added to the revised bylaws. Under this new point system, an individud, party or referendum could be disqu.liffed and taken off the ballot for l0 accumulated ooints.

Iast week, Danielle Kelly was appointed by the SGA as an electioncommissioner.

Boethrer said the SGA is expected to appoint a 6ird commissioner this week.

The skiing and snowboard tips will cost $199 wifi an additional separate fee of $30 for hansportation. These Eips include four lessons and four equipment rentals along with a seasonpass.

The OA will be not always be staying in tlte Denver metro a.rea;they plan on taking longer hips. One trip, during FaIl Break, Nov. l&22, will be to New Mexico for the Enchanted Circle lfike and hot springs.

They will also be in Ouray from Jan. 7-lI for some ice climbing.

Bryan Ferguson, OA program coordinator, said that each outing would be led by students for students. This is change from the past where he would organize and either lead each event or serve as a backup.

Changing this allows his stpdene a chance at breaking down the barriers that stop mr-rlticulhrral students from gefiing together and growing. While he said he still wants to be part of dre evenb, he said he eventually wants to be seen as the trainet's trainer.

Another factor this year is that the rock wall is in place and is creating so much ex-

citement that the OA hasn't been able to keep hack of the large number of particiPants.

"We knew that people would use it (the rock walll" said Adas-Ingebreson, "but that it would engage them to come down. And asking about AI,P is not something that I thought would happen nahrally. (Also) the number of women who are climbing on the wal! I am so happy with."

This is the third year Ferguson and Atla.slngebreson have worked together. They combine his knowledge of the outdoors with her multicultural experience to create the byproduct of several diversity events,which have had a oositive effect on those who have attended. Atlas-Ingebretson said several participants have left her "astounded" by how much they gained from the experiences.

Other factors impacting the OA this year are the hiring of hesidentJordar! who said recendy in a Metropolitan interview thai seeing studentsthrough to graduation is one of his goals.

Endres said the staff has been very accommodating to shrdents' needs and make them feel at home in their new surroundlngs.

"They talk to us as if we were on the same level," Endres said. 'They help us out whenever we need it. They got the bus schedule moved up when we asked, and they got the cafetâ‚Źria to change hours to accommodate shrdenh.n Illa Salazar,director and owner of The Regency, has already held an auction for Dave Matthews Band tickes, and plans on aucdoning off Nuggets tickets throughout the season,Endres said.

The Regency will also be holding a drawing for a new VolkswagenJetta; all students who sign a lease before Dec. I are eligible to win it.

Students have been taking initiative in organizing groups around the community.

There is discussion of starting clubs for snowboarding, basketball and even a sparring club for students involved in martial axts-

Aller and Endres have been bouncing ideas around about organizing a range of sbrdent Fips, from playing pus-puft to ski hips in the winter.

All these activities revolve around the new friendships that are being made.

"Everybodyknows everybody, especially becauseit staded out so small,n Aller said.

"We kind of made our own community before kids started moving in, even after the first day, so it's just building upward like that and making it easier to meet people-" Standing over the Lovesac, which is cradling a Nike Swoosh light that fell off the wall earlieq Aller srniles while talking about the good times he has already had in the three weeks since he has lived there.

During a party when he and Minich crammed the room like a phone booth in the '60s, the Communif Assistants, along with a couple of Denver Police officen, came up to quiet things down. *This is kind of the parf room," Aller said.

The poster behind Aller sums it up; it is John Belushi'smug, the picture from the classic college-party movie, "Animal House."

It seemsthe party is just beginning.

the Chicano Studies professor who monitored the academiccontentin the book.

But Morales and the shrdentsalso encountered ar inberesting phenomenon.

Many people in the Chicano community, where part of the researchwas done, were reluctant bo discuss any further what hap

Another problem appeared to be that members of the community accepted the project as a way to criticize the activists' struggle for social justice and some of the methods they used, Morales said. But also. the divenity of the ac[vism has to be remembered white radicals, activists fiom

\eu,Ai:ika movement and actirists from Puerto Rico rvere also part of the Chica-no struggle for selfdeternination, he said. "'Beyond Chicanismo' is a radical pedagogical project"" he said. "It is an attempt to move beyond ceftain culh-ual and national istic ideas: not to ignore them, but to reach out to other corrmunities rvorking for social iustice."

And following his zest for leaming about new and interesting subjects, Meho senior Dave Mason got involved in the second book the shrdents produced-"The St-uggle for La Sierra." The book ta]ls about the fourdecadesJong batde of Chicano residents in the San Luis Land Grant in Colorado to re cover their rights over the land dating back to the 1800s.

N{ason grew up outside Dekoit and, being a "white boy," was mosdy unaware of the Chicano Movement existence. he said.

"What was surprising to me w'as the lowintensity conflict that was going on for sorne

time," N{asonsaid. "I never really kne'rvthat Chicanosfacedsuchracism."

Tillking about the project,Nlason said it is worth,n'hilefor undergraduatestudentsk) palticipate in it becausethe benefits range from having to dea.l with oral history to good preparation for graduate shrdiesand researcn.

"Oral historv is the story that usually doesn't get told, the real nuts and bolts, the day-today Me, the real human experience," he said. "The 'Beyond Chicarrismo'project is an inva.luableexperiencein brling to get the whole pichre, regardlessof your politi cal views,color or perceptions."

"Beyond Chicanismo'' is an ongoing project. The next research effon to grow into a book will be about the United Mexican-American Students orga.rrization,which started 35 yean ago at the University of Col orado at Boulder.

"I was relieved that my rvife, my cat and I were safe, but you get attached to things, so it was heart-nrenching to leave them. We left so ouicklv that all we had were the clothes on our backs and a small suitcase." he said.

"We thought the hurricale would blow over and rve rvould be back in a few days.

We had no idea rvhat rvas achrallv about to happen."

Algiene, who graduated fiom Metro in 1993, decided to come back to Denver

because he and his wife have family here, who offered them a place to stay. Since he wouldn't be rehrning to the Universilv of he was working on Ner.r.

The nexi thing he knew, he was sifiing in class the same day he arrived in tou.n, Sept. 1.

Now' he's taking genera.l accounting classes here at Metro.

"Metro lr.as very fleible rvith my situa tion." he said.

wrath of Katrina

In the wake of Hurricane Katrina (no pun intended) there has been a complete saturaton (pun intended). The sahrralion came not onlv from the copious amounb of moistue that-now floods ttie Heart of Dide, but from the media covering this disaster from aII angles and the charitable organizations that are scrambling to help the evacuees. Every dav I trun on CTIIN and find the onslaughl of ioverage as thick as it was on Sept 1I. The only difference is that this was an act of God, not an act of war.

So where am I, the lowly columnis! sup posed to stake my claim to this event?

I can't write about the devastalion in New Orleans and Mississipp! the photojournalists have given us enough to look at A thousand of my words can do nothing but

is, and if that's the c.$e we are rmabie to determine facts from this description and therefore our saying something il good is not a description of the facb, which defeats our search for the fact that smoking is bad, wr.ong, etq' Anything-oubide of the facts is subject to being called a mere expression of

head-aching photo.

I can't write about the people beca""e the rest of the print and broadcast media have dohe that Every story now is not about the wafer level in dre city or the bi} lions of dollars in damage, thi stories are about the people who have gone through hell and have come out on the other side minus homes, possessions,merrories and at times, friends and familv members. Each person in the bayou has a devastating story and no two are the same. The rest of the media are going to tell each of those stories if it takes a year. They did it with SepL 11, why-I not this? can't wdte about the charitable organizatiorx out there eying to help each and every doe-eyedperson in sight becausethey are doing it thernselves.During each commercial break on television and on the radio there are advertisements asking people to "dig deep' and "help those who have been displaced by this eagedy." The American Red Cross, the Salvation Army, Goodwill, The United Way and every other organiz;tion that posts a bucket outside of every gro cery store and on ever major intersecton in the country has found ways !o raise monev.

I can'i write about how euen the piivate sectorhas gotlen in on raising money.

Companies ranging from car dealerships to movie theatersto restau.rantsare doing what they can during this time of economic skife.

The larger companiesare sendingmoney as well as provisions to the people in need in the south as well as to the people who have been hansplanted to neighboring states to seek refuge - or to staxttheir lives orrer completely.

I can't vrite about the mess the Bush Adminishation has made of this entire ffasco. The bloggen have done ihat job so well that the legitimate media is starting to take notice. The questions are flying arormd the White House about whv incoirpetent and unquallffedpeople were put h ch-argeof the one agency (FEMA) that needed to spring into effi.cient and decisive a-ction and, as of right now, there is no real answer.

Roberb to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circui! the most inlluential of the federal appeals courts, where Roberts has since presided.

Claims that Roberts is an ideologue have been equally eviscerated.Roberb, unlike Democrals' politically pandering pet justices, is not a judicial activist and carefirlly crafts his decisions.which tend to favor nre cedence over *ytiri"g remotely resembling politics.

Such a faithfirl application of the law should not be unexpected from a man who is faithful in other aspecb of his hfe. To be giq Roberts and his wife are devout Catho lics.

I wouldnt be surprised if they were members of Opus Dei, a prelature of the Roman Carholit Church tliat is renowned for its very h:adiflonal views and advocacy of incorporation of the hith into the pen6nal and professional lives of is members.

where. The bvlaws read: "The of ftcial polling siatiotts recognized by the Election Commission axe all the Meto State computer laboratories." .Yet the authors follow up with, "Any shrdent can vote from any computer, whether on cuunpus,at home, library or elsewhereaxound the world." We ffnd these two statementsto be contradictory and ambiguous.

Moreover, there is nothing prohibiting anything similax to what the Williams' camp did last spring when they set up polling stations of their own and were disqualified for iL The onlv reference comes in this clause discussing "point violations," a system used to assign punishment to candidatesbreaking the bylaws, "10 point violation for violating Meho State College of Denver, AHEC, City of Denver, State of Colorado or Federal rules, regulations or laws.'

Another injustice done by this document is campaign finance. Under the new rules. anv individual can spend up to $250 for their run at oftce. However, any group of shrdenb forming under one ticket can only spend $300.This simply doesn't make sense.Sure,we can understand the power of "we," but alloftingsuch a small amount for an entire ticket is utterly ridiculous and a blatant disap proval of teamwork.

We hope the SGA will heed our advice and execute a fair. flawless election.

Travelglobalfu, shoplocally The past few months of my life have been swallowed in h:aveling.

Throughout my travels, I have pledged to avoid tourist attractions like the plague. ln childhood museuns and national monuments once had a certain entertainment value. Nowadays, I find nothing more de pressing than visiting a location in another state or country that is completely devoid of native residents, aside from those working behind food counters or pushing brooms.

It is not the personalities of my fellow foreign bavelers that I ffnd so unnerving; it is their behavior. Witness Exhibit A: In Washington last spring I sawsequined purses spring up on the carb of street vendors downtown that later had a shong pres ence in the French storefronts of Champs Elysees (one of the few parts of France where everyone speaks English and wears fanny pacla). These same bags dominated the storefront windows of both the Copenhagen Airport and the Bethany Beach, Del., surf shops. Ta<t week, I spotted at least two dozen people snakhing the same bags out of stores in Tirnes Square at 2:(X)a-m., in a last minute shopping spree after dining at the Olive Garden.

Evervwhere I wenl Americans wene buying tLe same thing to hold as a memory of a place other than their home. I wonder if they realized they could just visit their state's tourist sites and purchase the same crap.

No ma$er where Americans visil no matler how many opportunities for completely new experiences call to them, I ffnd my fellow citizens buying the same stupid things they do not need and eating the same mediocre food they could buy at home.

Any penon in a new town already has an abrmdance of opporhrnities to make a fool of themselvesin their joumeys. People who have never used public hansportation monopolize poles in subway trains as if there was one for each passenger0o perforrn a dance on. Others butcher a new language in an attempt to get directions on the street We fumble with our suitcases,block sidewalla staring at new sighb and carry our belongings in parcels that enable convenient pick-pocketing. No matter how easy it is to look like a bumbling idio! American tourisb insist on maling it worse.

Everywhere I have been the past few months, my goal has been to buy as few norredible things as possible and yet take as much as I could home with me. I refused to buy things for the sake of having something and I nixed the words "photo opporlrnit/ from my vocabulary in these havels, I walked the stretch of the Brooklyn Bridge ralher than SoHo in New York I had brealfast on a hill top in Paris eating baguettes and drinking coffee surrounded

by French poppies. In Delaware, I woke up at 5:0 am. and sat on the beach watching dolphins frolic in the waves. Washington pennitted me an opporumity to shrff myseHwith babaganoushand laugh mpelf silly with a flock of lovely girls.

SEPTENII]I]R

We a,reslavesto government,God ld like to start off by saying that my views are completely my own and it's not my intention for you to agree with what I have io say. Rather, my intention is to open some eyes or eani or heads, or evei hearts, to another angle on some issues I deem of signiffcant value in society.

That being said, I'11 always be shaighdorward and honest with evbrything I share with you. I feel this is an important point to make, rnainly due to the fact we live in the "ase of media."

What the average *sheEp" or ulemmingn or "unconcemed citizen" hears through the regular news channels is only a reflection of where their company's potitical efFliations lie. You might think many of my beliefs and theories are differenL I believe deviance is the only way we can remedy the horriffc problemscutting this counfy tropieces as if we're Jeftey Dahmer's victims.

I'd Iike to share with you a figure. hesident Bush'sbaby. rhe uar in lraq has cost almost $200 billion. so far. I found a Website giving some other uses for the same anount of money.

Instead. we could've naid for almost 26 million children to attend Head Start, insured 116.6million kids, or hired 3.3 million ad&tional public school teachen for a year. Or. the one that I currently care most about we could've provided 9.4 million studenh four-year scholarshipsat public universities.

This causesme to question whether all that green ig really going to ffght a war, where, alt}ler''ghirmocent "sheep" have gone out to slaughter, there has been no progress to something hal. ing no point to begin with. The true reason was one of pure selfishness,at no cost out-ofpocket to "Dub-a-)r-rh," our famous, someday inf4mous, commander-in-chief. He wanted to be the apple of his daddy's eye. Too bad the apple has worms. This nonsense,how. evet comes ai a verv high price for us, the vanishiirg rniddle<lass, an endalgered speciesmuch like the wolverine.

Difference being, the wolverine always ffghts back against anything b:ying to do it harm. Is it due to the fact human beings are more evolved? That might be true, if we never hunted or killed or foughr Having the abifity to communicate-as I arn with you nor ',

I could go into so many difierent areas right norv, but the hot topic is Hurricane Kab:ina. Fin! if this had happenedin Texas or Florida, where 'Dub-a-mh" has familv. the entire military- over in Iraq and Afghanistan would've been shipped back here on ieb and would've been ordered to itand, shoulder to shoulder as a human blockade. to Drotect and sen'e.

Who would've protected them? Or would receiving an honorable firneral servicebe a sufficientenough reward?

Since nothins was done about the hurricane until iay 0oo late, it shows the govemment cares less about the people of l,ouisianq Alabama and Mississippi than it does about New York or Washington. This might seem logical, but re're the Uniled States, not the Individualized States,and definitely not in the free world.

I'his is only one of several tragedies to hapoen under a Bush's leadership. Nowi otrviously,a Bush didn't cause the disasler,but he made the sihration worse with his lack of leadershio. initiative a:rd common sense.

Between "Dub-a-1uh" and his father, lve've lost brave-yet naive-soldiersin tlree separateconflicts.

I would like to leave you with a quote from a book bvJamei Patterson: "Without God, we are condemned to be free." I believ'eGod and govemment can be interchangeable in this, and many other situations.

Once this happened, the local media went through and found everyone who had ever lived, has family in" traveled to, vacationed in, took a business trip to, and even changed planes in New Orleans and asked them about the devastation.The sound bltes sound the same--everyoneis sad, terrfied, and wanting to help in any way they can. Once the busloads of 500 evacueesarrived at Iowry to the open arms of 1,100 volunteers from the Denver area the story was already told, wdfien, and received by the viewing public.

If you area non-srnokJrand are exposedto i smoker's smoke, thcn by all means exerciseyour freedom to choose whether or not you want to be exposed to it and take action. It would be prudent to say that if someone is forcing you to be exposed to anything you are somehow advene to it is wrong for him or her to do so.

This is where we can apply the principle of autonomy, the most impofant of all such principles. It is a right to govem one's self in making decisions and the quintessential right to determine what is good for me and what I determine to be wrong for me.

Smoking may be an unhealthy thing; there is no lack of empirical evidence that this is kue, However, it is my right as an individual 0o prescribe to decision-making, including things that rnay or may not be healthy for me. ff all things unhealthy were deemed wrong by society, the greater injustice would be that an individual's autonomy would be meaningless.

ACtiOn. the moral argument against smoking is that it is a societal or medical argument (i.e.: this qua action is not good for society for these reasons or qua action is not good for one's health, therefore it should not be allowed).

Whether or not these reasons stand up to criticism is another matter. These argurnentsjust| themselvesand therefore have no place in the sbrdy of ethics. It is our moral responsibility to respect the autonomy in others, as it is our right to rcspect our own.

Perhapswe can say that those who claim !o have a moral problem with the act of cigarette smoking are nothing more than those who feel their emotive opinion warrants and suppore a moral judgrnent. Smoking is neither a virtue nor a vice; the right to decide whether it is for us or if it is not for us is our most important vktue.

THtrIR OPI1\IO1\ ByKurt White, SGA Senotor, withSenoton Josh Holle, Joel Pyle, Donoy Powers, 0scor Peno ondDono Allen

Fronklin know thisSGA doesn't As a newly appointed senator, I've heard a lot of criticisms lately about the SGA. The latest is Mr. Alan Franklin's atiack in the Seot. 15 issue of Ifte Metroholi tan. l'd like lo clear ,rp io-" of the misconceptions that are being perpetuated. First off, there are only three retuming SGA members from last year. The nine senaOorsare all new and had nothing to do with last year's election process, except for being the inheritors of an SGA that was victimized bv the ooor choices and decisionsof the former election commissionand oartisan candidates.

As chairman of last year's election commission, many of the election's problems can be laid at the feet of Mr. Franklin himself due to a series of ill-conceived and unethical decisions.This includes the writing of the election bylaws and procedures in collaboration with a standing SGA member who had a vested interest in a speciffcpresidential candidate. He allowed the last-minute removal of policy, preventing polling stations not run or approved by the election commission, with ap parent self-interestin mind. His resisnation and the subiequent dissolutionof rhe electionc=ommission midway through the processwzrsone of the primary reasonsthe election was thrown into chaos. This, again, served his self-interest as shown by his almost instantaneous a1> pointnent to ccchair a candidate's campaign and rtm as a write-in candidate himself.

In the short time that the new SGA has been in session,we have faced dre difficult task of overcoming last year's disarray and streamlining the process so there is not a repeat sihration, not exactly an easy feat

considering that 75 percent of the memben are new.

This includes many hours spent approving the newly rewritten election bylaws and policy manual in order to assurethey are fair, equitable and will ensure a smooth election process this year. ln additiorq we have been involved in such issuesas gathering information on altemative sources of health insura.ncefor students (stop by the SGA office for a list of providers), ffghting for freedom of speech on carnpus, restruchrring of frrnd allocation in order to ffeate a more eouitable distribution to benefft all student groups, and we had a hand in organizing donations for victims of Hurricane Katrina As for Mr. Franklin's personal attacks on the new SGA organization, l'm nuprised that he was able to form such opinions without ever having come to any meetings, inhoduced hlmself to any of the new memben, or taken part in any way other than to complain about last year's problems.

Perhaps the reason for this is that Mr. Franklin is actually unaware that the majority of the current SGA was completely uninvolved with last year's election process. We shongly encourage not only him, but all shrdents to come meet with us, work with us and get to know us before afiaching last yeais baggage to an almost entirely new organization.

We have weekly meetings on Wednesdays at 4 o.m. in Tivoli 329 and our offices are in Tivoli Roorn 307. Pleasecome by and speak with us. We're here to represent the student body and we more than welcome your input to help guide our actions and improve student Me.

For the fint time in l5r vears, the Center for Visua.l Art is hosting an alurnni art shou'. Carlos Fresquez's "A fine time for Dinen is elaborate, to say the least.

The collection of rnixed media begins with two large carlvases that frame the u,ork. A large bright and plal'firl heart painting conhasts vith a frigid and stark skull to the left. A long vellow shelf filled r.rdthinteresting items is placed just belorv the t''*o canvases-Vari-1 ous loys and trooks clutter the shelf, including a used Mr. Potato Head toy sitting alongside a tattered copy of Karl Marx's "Concept of Man," a Virgin Mary dashboard decoration accompanving "Che Guevara Speaks," and a PeeweeHerman bobble head collectsdust next to Pablo Picasso's'Variations." The obscure nahrre of the Fresquezpiece does not end at the shelf; it continuesto an old heeshrmp with a shovel shrck in the cent,erandr bright paper cutout flags corulecting it to canvas and shelf. However you feel about abstract axt, this piece is one of the many at the Meho Effect art exhibit that is sure to leave a lasting impression.

Phil Bender graduatedin 1979.Selections from his 2003 rvorks of'found obiects"were combined for showing at the exhiLidon. The lvork contains 18 brooms, nine ladders, l2f shovels and 25 buckets from the indMdual r.r,'orks tided "Brooms," "Ladders," "Buckets," "ShovelsI" and.

The objects are arranged in an extremely organ2ed manner.

When observed, the art is transformed into ar1 exaggeratedsimplicity that adds to the charm of the subiectmatter.

Bender finds his objects at thrift stores,antique stores, and estate sales.It took him two years to collect the brooms, ladders, shovels, and bucketsfor his piece. lt is timeronsuming work that is often inconsistenl but collecting these objects is a hobby to Bender.

It functions effectively as both, as the tense and engaging crime story unfirrls againstthe ambienceof 1936Chicago.Tap ping into the chemistry that made "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" such a success, Robert Redford and Paul Newman play two salry and scamming crooks on the prow-l for the ultima0e score.

Their chosen mark, brought to sleazy life b,v Robert Shaw (Jaws"), is a criminal banker w'ho controls a vast illegal nehvork.

Not only does director George Roy Hill ("Slapshot," "The World According to Garp") weave ar involved and engaging plot that mzrnagesto surprise until the last scene, but he also manages to infuse the story wiih a good deal of heart.

Newman and Redford play the ultimate anti heroes, characters that caphrre the ryrn pathies of the audience even as they cheat and dupe their way to fortune.

As an atrnospheric aid, the soundtrack is composed entirely of ScoSJoplin piano rags, music that does much to recreate the mood and feel of the 1930s.Winner of seven Academy Awards including Best Picture, "The Sting" is simultaneously a classiccomedy, drama and crime flick.

The kgacy DVD release includes extensive commentaries and interviews with Robert Redford, Paul Newman, and other members of the cast. The interviews give a vivid porhait of the late directoq George Roy Hill, who died in 2002.

The interviews are revealing, both for the background they give on the filn itself and for their revelations about wea-knesses of the studio in the early 1970s.

THE T{ETROPOLITAN. SEPT

By Nlichael Godfrey mgodfre3@mscd.edu Many students at Metro have no idea that the school offers an aviation degree, or that we have one of the best aviation prograrns in the nation. Many don't even know we have one of the largest simulator labs in the country. Still, the best-kept secretabout Metro's aviation depa.rtrnentmay be that it is home to some of the most involved sh.rdens on carnDus. The Seventl Street building, located on the west side of c.unpus, is hard to miss. It is the only building on campus topped with anteffias, weather satellites and a windsock.

The interior provides further clues as to how these students live. Inside you'll ffnd aviation posten and flight magazines.

The Seventh Street classroom is the center for all aviation studenb on campus to gather and compa-reflight stories, prepare for classesand get advice from their professors.

What seti this departrnent apart from any other is the passionthe studens ihare for wiat thev are doing. In addition to their classes,aviation sbrdents must obtain their pilot's license from different airporis located in the area, making it easy for students to run into each other while on the flight line. They share the expensesof a llight with each other, swap stories of past flight experiences or even hade tips on how to get their nert license, creating a social network within the denarunenL ln addition to its friendly students,Metro's aviation program has some of the most active student organizations on campus. From the school's highly competitive flight team to one of the school's oldest active fraternities, the department is busy.

Alpha Eta Rho, a professional aviation fratemity, is constandy involved with the school and community. They grve their time to such evenb as the Hurricane Katrina fund-raiser being held later this month. They also donate food and fly it throughout the state in an effort to feed the hungry.

Not only do the memben of this fratemity volunteer their time to the community, but they also provide a socia.loudet to their members, gathering together for a fly-in 0o a local airpo$ or even having a pady to celebrale the completion of fina]s.

The American Association of Airport Executives provides the same community and social services as Alpha Eta Rho, but with an emphasis on those who prefer not to fly. This organizarion is resewed for those Aviation majors who participate in the other ffelds of aerospace. Airport ma.nagers,engineers and even air traffic controllers count themselvesas memben. AAAE is a popular and profes sional organization dedicaled to assistingairports and their executivesin firlfflling their responsibilities to the commurrities they serve.

Metro also has a top-notch flight team, who are members of the National Intercollegiate Flying Association. The group competes with other colleges in different areas of flight. Adding a competitive nahre to the program, the team challenges other sh.rdentsfrom around the countrv to find the "top pilol" while earning attention from the different airlines for jobs later in life. The program also of fers scholarships, which can help offset the huge expense incuned from their progressive flight training.

In addition to its outstanding shrdent body, Meho's aviation departrnent boasts a faculty to match. Instructors include some of the most experienced faculty in the cor:ntry, from ffghter pilots to airpot m:rragers. The faculty in the Seventh Street classroom has plenty of real-world experience, which makes their advice practical as well as enllghtening. The curriculum in the aviation depaxknent is ' comprehensive, with subjectsthat range from the impact of weather on aviation to specializedinsh:uction in the simulators for airline crew m:uragemenl Essentially, the faculty offers several classesto help the studens with what they really need to know to succeed in the ffeld.

The aviation departnent at Meho is a large part of the ciunpus, providing aerospace instruction to over 500 s[-rdents. Colorado is one of the nation's leaders in aerospace, and because of the dedication of both the faculty and strdenb in Meho's aviation departrnent you c.rn count on Colorado lemaining a top leader in the future of aviation.

Tracks that are deleted or lost have to be repurchased at full price. With its excellent selecfion, ease of use and tight integration with Apple's excellent iTunes music applicalion, the service

was an instant successthat only now is begiruring to face any meaningfirl competition.

Offering exclusive content and constandy adding new features, such as podcasts and audio bools, Apple has kept a step ahead of the competition.

Rising fiom the ashesof Napster's hugely popular and hlglrly rllegalsharingserviceis Napster the f.ily l"gul subscription sewice.

Napster offers a different approach than iTunes. Usen pay a monthly fee-between $10 and $15-to accessthe entire Napsterlibrary. Under ihe basic plan, tracks can oniy be listened to on the host PC with an active subscription. Higheryiced plans allow the transfer of songsto compatible portable music players.

To bum music to a CD or listen to music once the subscription is lapsed, Napster revefts to a very iTuneslike model, selling hacks for .99 and albums for $10 and up.

Altemately, users can forego the subscfip tion fees altogether and simply buy tracks as desired.

The combination of near-unlimited accessto a huge library of music, the abi.lity to "share" songs and playliss with other subscribers and builFin chat firnctions makes the new Napster feel a lot like the old Nap ster---onlythis time, it costsmoney.

If p"yiog a dollar per song or renting music doesn't sound appealing, eMusic of fers a third altemative. For a monthly subscriptionfee, eMusic usersget a set number of dorvnloads each month. Subscriptions start at $9.95 a month for 40 songs,a cost of .25 per song. Unused dormloads do not carry over to the next month, making eMusic best for users that dorrynload a lot of music. Still, for the cost of a single album on iTunes, eMusic users get three or four albums worfh of music. Additional songs can be purchasedas "boosier packs."These do*rrloads do not expire and can be used anytime after they've been purchased.

Unlike both iTunes and Napster, not to mention most other services,eMusic does not use any sort of digital rights managemenL Tracls can be copied to multiple computers, bumed to any number of CDs and transferred to any portable MP3 player.

They also allow usersto dornload any hack they've previously downloaded witlout it counting againsttheir monthly downloads, a life saver in the caseof a hard drive failure.

All three servicesoffer a huge variety of music. The leader is iTr.rnes,with over 2 million songs-Napster offers just over a million and eMusic brings up the rear with 600,000 songs in its library.

-<a-

\ \..

Napster and iTunes cover a nice mixture ol mainstream, popular music and more otr" scure selecdons.The eMusic service focuses on independent artists, making its library more focused.

Setup on all three services is a simple matter of inputting credit card info and selectingthe desired options. Napster and iTunes require the use of specific applications. The applicationsare free, but users who prefer a different music player may ffnd this irritating. By conb:as! eMusic works within a browser. like anv other Website. An optional toolbar plug-in and dorvnloadmanager extend the functionality of the service.

Each service uses a diferent format, which can cause some confusion. Napster's ffles are not compatible with iPods. The ffles sold on iTunes work on\ with iPods and iTunes. Only eMusic offers the univenally comoatible MP3 files. These should work in any ipplication and with any portable music player, including the iPod. It remains to be seen whether the pay services will put a dent in the tide of illegal do*r oads, but people who want to download and stay on the right side of the law finally have some options.

It seems appropriate that the music industry has responded so heavily to the storm that sunk the birthplace of jazz and arguably the greatest musical ciry in the nation. Even here at the foot of the Rocky Mountains, talented artists have emerged from their basementsto play a part in the rebuilding of the sunken South.

The Colorado HipHop Coalition (CfIIIq, a local non-profft organization dedicated to education via the culhre of hiphop, has coordinated a two-night event to benefft the hurricane evacuees who were relocated to Denver, as well as other Louisiana-based grassrooh tions that are rebuilding in the aftermath of Hurricane Kahina. The firnd+aiser, fearlessly tided "Kiclcin' Katrina to the Curb," will feahre jq.', reggae and hiphop music from local artists Nuvera's Down, Babah Fly, Aposde, laz-yfase, DJJonas, The Flobots. Ten Tiers. and Sunset Curse.

"We were gesing really frust-ated watching the news," said Caitlin Brozra, event coordinator for CHHC, "We had no monetary fi:nds to donate, so this is the 'shrving artists' way of conkibuting.

Our communities play a big role-it's our duty as Americans azl individuals to come together becauseindividuals can make a difference, Iike the butterflv effect."

For many 'starving artists,"playing vol unteer gigs is nothing new, but while this may be the case,their conhibution to these eventscan help entire familiesreceivecrucial everyday goods. Dudng times such as this, the clock stops for just a moment and we are able to experience genuine acts of kindness and compassionfrom around the globe. While there are coundess ways to donate and conh:ibute to the many relief eflorts taking place, this kind of fi-rnd-raising gives people an opportunity to support local evacueesand local artists-and have a good tjme doing it.

Pahicia Day croons for zombie love, snarls for revenge, and gives fi:antic tales of boozeinduced misery, all while slapping away on her upright bass.

The upright bass gives a newous, fre netic feeling, worthy of a backgror:nd score in a low-budget horror flick. Adding to the bass are surf-inspired guitar solos that are creepy, forlom and sexy all at once.

Both victories came in Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference play.

"I think we played really we[" said Roadrunner coach Debbie Hendricks. 'We did not lose focus or get sloppy. We managed to keep control despite the other side and I think that shows some maturity."

Mahrity is saying the least for the Roadrunners, who have come a long way since the tough lossesthey faced againstUniversi ty of Nebraska-Kearneyand Fort Hays State Universitv on SeoL 9 and 10.

Sx piayers hid at least five kills earh for Metro. The effort was led by Stefanie Allison and Megan Witienburg, each with eighr SheenaMclaugtrlin and Renee Hazlewood had six kills individually. Taryn Drescher had 14 digs and freshrnan Kyhe Schmeeckle served four aces,all in game three.

When asked about the 16 unanswered points in the second game, it was easy to see Hendricks was a proud coach of her ofrense.

"Stefanie did a fantasticjob; she was re. ally aggressive and did not break focus," Hendricks said. "The offense was really balanced. We executed a good flow and showed some great playing."

Wittr the win over the Cougars, Metro advanced to .15 overall, 1-2 in the RMAC. Team members said they have a positive attihrde and that tley're continuing to progress and improve as the seasonrolls on.

'We got set back last weekend talked about it and we focused on our houbles and responded to them," said Coach Hendricks.

"We need to work on our unforced errors and have a more consistentattitude and aggressiveness. " After the win over the Cougars, the women's volleyball team went back to Nebraska to face Chadron State College on SepL16.

The Roadnrnners earned their second consecutivesweep againstthe tr'sglesas they went on to defeatChadron 3{.

Metro hit an outstanding .656 in game one and swept Chadron 3G20, 3G23 and 3G 16 in conference play at Annstrong Gym. The 'Rr.urners'playen put up more big numbers in the win over the Eagles,who are now l-10 in the 2005 regulat season.

'The ffrst game was one of our best all vear.' said Hendricks. "We moved the ball around well and our oubide hiuers played very well. Offensively, we were very efiective in that ffrst game."

Senior Sheena Md,aughlin led the way for Meho with 16 kills in the match, while sophomore setter Gabriell Curtis provided a staggering4fl assists.

Roodrunners roces new legocy cross counlry h build sporls

By JennaWbodman jwoodmas@mscd.edu The Metro cross cormtry team members laced up their running shoes and got ready to run last weekend at the Univenity of Nebraska Invitational.

With eight women and l0 men on the roster and accomplished runner PeterJulian as head coach, the Roadrurmen have begun their ffrst seasonas a vaxsity qport with much shength and enthusia-sm.

'The seasonis off to a strong start and there are a lot of people with talent who just need to ffnd it " said juniorJosh Tate.

Widr no seniors on the team, and this only the ffrst year, this is a very young team in the eyes of most of its opponents. uWe have only had one meet and we are a really yormg team," saidJulian, "Our inexperience did show tlnoWh." In *reir ffnt evenL three of the Metro

women placed in the top 25 at the time trials at Bufralo Creek in Boulder in early September. SitgesManning ffnished second, but plans to red shirt for the ffnt year. Jessica Hackbart finished 18th and Lisa Aauino ffnished 25th. For the men, Brice Young in l9a, was the lop finisher.

The 'Rururers most recent meet was the Nebraska Invitational in Lincoln, Neb. Overall the women ffnished 24s. Freshman Meagan Madinez was the top finisher with a time of 23:30 for the 6K course.

The men ffnished 2Sth and Todd Tolentono was the top finisher for the merq with a time of 27:1fl rnaking him 73rd.

As for the rest of the season,Julian said he.feels the young tearn still has something to leaxn. nThev need a few vears !o develon and to gain more e>perieice and talent and to not get frushated," saidJulian.

Juliaq feeling optimistic, said starting the

seasonfrom scratch can be hard, but overall, it has its perks.

"There is not any of the junior/senior leadenhip to count on, it has not yet been established. You do have the individuals who step up and take the reigns. That gives the others something to look up to. It is more on the coach to try and show the team how things are done," Julian said, "There are the advantages, such as being able to start oul own traditions and not having to worry about living up to old ones."

The team is faced with the challenge of being sr:rror:nded by some of the nation's best cross counb:y talenq all of which is in the Rocky Mountain region.

"I think thal starting from scratch was a good thing,' Tate said. nWe can stzrt taditions and we have formed a bond, too."

The women's next meet is SepL 24th at the Colorado College Invite in Colorado Sptir5.
