By Matt Quane mquane@msul.edu Mero's Student Govemment Assembly will pay $3,000 for outside help with its new policy manual.

Former Metro Student Trustees Flarris Singer and Stephen Hay, as well as Metro shrdent and Laptop l,ease Coordinator Robert Haight were hired to write the documen! which will outline the objecfves, policies, ethics, responsibilities and procedures of this vear's SGA. Th; SGA has set aside $3,000 of their budget to pay the three for their efforts.

The SGA plans to pay each of them $10 per hour, not to exceed 100 houn for their worlq although the senate has unofficially acknowledged that Singer has done the majority of the work, logging more than 200 hours of work.

The documen! which is more than 90 pages long, is divided into three sections, each to be reviewed and revised by three senators.

'There's a hir amount of intellechral effoft put into il" said SGA Speaker of the Samora.

Four of the five appointed senators will be nurning to hold their current position in the soecial election.

Metrofoces'whock' Opponents say schoolsshould cut spenditg

By Brad Riggin rigginb@mscd.edu Colorado voters will decide the availability and quality of higher education in the state when they cast their votes for Referendums C and D this November, according to several higher education of&cials.

'This is a critical issue," said Bruce Benson, president of the Metro Board of Trustees. "Who knows what we will have to end up cuting. Bu! if these (referendums) don't pass, we are going to have to really whapk the heck out of that place (Meto)," Bensonsaid.

Beruon is one of three chairmen of the campaign supporting the referendums.

Ethan Eilon of the Independence kstihrte, a freemarket think tank opposing C and D, said the referendums do nothing to ffx the real problem with state govemment, which is spendmg. "fhere are better ways to solve the cnrnch in the budget," Eilon said. "Lawmakers would rather go to the taxpayen for help than fix the spending problem in state govemrnent."

If passed, Referendum C would elirni-

By Brad Riggin rigginb@mscd.edu

By Boyd Fletcher fletchar@mscd.edu Starting next fall, UCD will be the ffrst school on the Auraria Campus to require incoming fieshman to live on campus.

The requirement will coincide with the completion of the Campus Village at Auraria apartnenb, located just west of campus on the former site of Adas Metals, which is a project of the University of Colorado Real Estaie Foundation.

'At this poing we are requiring all ffrsr year sh.rdentswho reside frrther than 50 miles from canpus to live in surdent houe ing," said Danielle Zieg U@ director of media relalions.

The university csn waive the require ment oD a circurnstantial basis. nWe aren't going to require a SGyearold with grandchildren to be fiving there or anydring like that " Zeg said.

Campus Village at Auraria, while owned

by CIJREF, is open to strdenb at all tbree schools on the carnpus.

Metro spokeswoman Cathy Lucas said the college has no plans to follow UCD's lead with the residenry requirement "At this poing requiring strrdenb to live in housing is not something the college is looking into," Lucas said.

According to the prqiect description, UCDHSC signed a letter of agreement with CTIREF agreeng to enact the residency requirement, market the Foject to incoming strrdenb and to refer shrdenb to the project exdusively until it reachescapacity.

However, according to Zeg, the school is not referring shrdents anlrhere specific, and they are pooling together iniormafion on all of the shrdent housing projects to give shrdentsmore choices when selectingwhere they want to live.

The Auraria Campus, whose charter was created by legislation in 1969, sap that dre campus would be nonresidential. Since the Campus Village is not achrally connected !o

The opening of the Carnpus Village Apartnenb will createroom for 6&5students to live in their choice of a shrdio, onebedroom or strared two-bedroom units ranging from $670 to $865 a month. The apartnents are being conskucted by Allen & O'Hara Education Services,which builds and operates campus howing projects nationwide.

Twehe applications have been ffled since Ocr 5, the fiAi day the Campus VilluC" r* ed accepting them, according to Dan Hawlen assistantmanaCer at Allen & O'HaraApplications for housing are available online, along with applications for Community Assistants,at wwumyownapartrnent,com.

Hawley said they would begin processing the CA applications by next month and will be hiring the staff early next spring. nStudies in recent yeaxs have shown there is a need for houSng on this campus," said Obe Hankins with the UCD Office of Student Life.

Hankins said the school has made the

new project known to shrdenb at college fairs in high schools around the sta:te,as well as here on campus during Fall Fest "I tlink it is going !o go ahead and change a lot of campus dynamics, you'll have people living and possibly working on campus," said Jason Thatcher, a UCD Student Government senator.

Thatcher is looking forward to more involvement and interaction of shrdenb on campus, and feels that the pricing for the housing options now available is ideal for a shrdent looking to live in the downtown area.

Hopefr:lln he said" this will lead to more onrarnDus evenb and activities that are seen at mord kaditional universities.

"I dont see any major problems with the requiremenl lm sure they will handle things that come up on a caseby-casebasis," Thatcher said. 'where "I heard a lot during orientation, 'where can we hang out?' can we live?' and And this is going to answer that piece of the puzle here,'

Raforth delivered a presentation to the board on how shrdent housing afrecb shrdent retention and how other commuter colleges have made the hansition to residendd.

The board asked Raforth to surdy the sitration fiuther.

"I tbink we need more infonnation," Board chair Bruce Benson said.

Raforth will be looking at the transitiorx of several rmiversities zuch as the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, tre University of Chicago and the University of Houston.

The Campus Village Apartnene will be located on the west side of campus and are the required housing for UCD freshmen who live outside a S0mile radius from camPus. All three student-housing projects are open to shrdenb at UCD, Mero and CCD. Meho kesident StephenJordan agreed the development of student housing is a sihration the college will have to deal with.

"We will start having a much younger cohort going acrossczunpusat night expecting sewices that aren't here," Jordan said.

"We're going to be involved whether we like it or noL' Auraria will have to consider keeping facilities on campus. like the Recrealion Center, open later,he said.

Meto is also experiencing a shift in student population. The largest growth in pop ulation has been for those between the ages of l8 and 23 and the median age of Metro studenrcis now 23,Jordan said.

Students in this age group are looking for services provided by facilities like The Regenry, he said.

Trustee Alex Cranberg said he finds Auraria's move toward residential housing houbling.

'It troubles me that the group that has the highest retention risk (studenb over 23 who commute) is shrinking," Cranberg said.

"I don't want to see us increase shrdent r+ tention by shifting studenb."

Jordan said the board needs to keep Metro's legal liability in mind when discussing the college's fuhue involvement with shrdent housing. nThe more involved you get, the more liability increases,"Jordan said. *There are sexual assaultsin dorms, there are assaulb in dorms, shrdents will pull fire alarms and the ffre departnent will caII and say you have to put a stop to that "

police ofnight sofety evuluole compus Students,

By Heather Embrey hembret'(@rnscrl.edu Snrdents, faculty and staff memben joined the Auraria Campus police depadment on a safety evaluation walk around campus the night of Oct. 6.

Auraria Police Chief Heather Coogan organized the walk" which was the ffrst of what planners hope to be an annual Safe Campus Night.

"I have been talking with va-riousgroups around campus and found that we needed to address certain safety issues," Coogan said. "Because of ihe new housing hcilities, we need to make sure we addressthese concems no% while we have time to work on them."

The meeting began in a conference room, where several members of the faculty and staff and a few concemed studenb were gathered. After being split into groups, each was assigneda zone on campus to patrol and cite as many safety issuesas they could. The f6ur main concems were adequate lighting, visible signage, unsafe landscape and lack of phonei oi communication devices. Each person w.rs equipped with a small hand

flastrlight and a map on which they could record any safety issuesthey came across.

The goal Thursday night was bo affect changes in the campus environment so all the users of the campus could feel safe, secure and protected, as welt as in control. By allowing members of the campus to patrol the areas as if tley would on a regular basis, the police departnent could compile data in a report and ty to ffx the problems. With that in mind, the groups began citing several 'problems in and around the buildines.

In one group, led by Bill Trimble, who is part of ihe Stuctr:ral Trade and Management departrnen! they noticed a lack of emergency phones in ihe inner parts of the campus. In several lower-level parking lots, there are emergency phones and call butlons which sigrral the Auraria police to that location if pressed.

The main concem was that there needed to be more of these devices around the cenb:alpart of the hlgh tr-aftc areas,such as 10th Steet and Curtis.

As the group moved on, their concem grew as they walked into dim and poorlyJit walkways. They foud that by adding a few rnore lights in certain areas,they would feel

much safer walking at nighl On her way to the light rail station on Colfa.x,Meho shrdentSara Meyer, 21' was glad to see a group designed to flesh out the unsafe conditions and make the campus more secure, "I want to see more maps around the campus directing me to pay phones and emergency kiosks," Meyer said. She said the maps that are on crmpus now need to be bigger and illuminated.

Meto President StephenJordan joined the groups and walked around, also addressing the iszuesof safety.He said he was really pleased wlth the way the meeting went and was happy to hear all of the comments and concerns tlnt the groups discussedafter they came back from their patrols.

"There are over 36,000 studentson campus and they (Auraria Police) are doing a real service to them. With the evolution of the off-campus housing, ids great to see a program like this really taking ofi,' Jordan said. "I'm really proud of officer Coogan for organizing this bonight."

The reports on the safety ffndings will be compiled and be available online within the next few weeks.

In a lechue tided, "Dracu}a has Risen From the Grave: Genetic Reductionism and the Rezurgence of Biological Determinism", Graves explained that he had changed the mission of his lecture after having read an article in the Vauwwr Sun Ocf 1, that once again brought about the theories of race asa fl"fual detemrent in human genetics.

And whereare tlte daughters?

This weel Iraqis will be gathered at the polls to vote on a draft of a constitution for their country as it wavers on the edge of civil war. There, in the opening lines of the shaking formdation of haq\ fuhre, the truth of the haqi Constitution is revealed.

"We the sons of Mesopotamia ..."

That s right, folks. Forget the daughten of Mesopotamia-they have all their basic human rights and freedoms secured, courtesy of Coalition forces, right?

Tqst February, Amnesty Interndtional reported that the general stats of women in regard tn human righb and social freedoms was won;e than under Saddam Hussein's rule. ftecently, reports have flooded Iraq's local news stations about female shrdents at Mosul and other universities gefiing ats tacked with acid and lqrives for not wearing a headscarf.Since the invasion of 2003, Unit ed Natiors departnents, such as UNIIFEM, have reported a dramatic rise in abductions, g"trg -p"., honor killings and other gendermotivated crimes.

I would love to think that all of this will come to an end with a magic vote this week.

Unfortunatd I am cursed with realistic thoughc As I express my concem about the new constitution of Iraq and its impact on Iraqi women's lives, I generally have Article 47 of the draft, which states:"Voting laws aspire to achieve women's representation on the Council of Representalives of a ratio of not less than a quarter" shoved in my face.

Had thi; Iine in the constihrtion promised that 25 percent of the elected oftcials in baq would be female, I would have to , passa nod oflto those that supported such a measure.However, this is not the prornise of the constitrtion as one would no[ce if they paid attention to one litle word-"aspire." : There are no promises or legal obligatiorx, just the reassurancethat the Council of Rep

Of course, the United Statesis there, encouraging equal freedoms for women-are they not? Well, not really. When interviewed

by MSNBC's David Gregory, the CIA's former Middle East Specialis! Reual Marc Gerecht, responded to a question regarding the righe of Iraqi women and a sh:nning mommt of Westem misogmy was clearly illushared.

"Actualln I'rn not terribly worried about this ... I mean, women's social righb are not critical !o the evolution of democracy," Ge recht replied.

When the United Stales invaded haq, lengthy promises were made to ensure the freedoms of women. Next week, the sons of Mesopotamia will most likely have their constiu.rtion as the daughten are left to be burned, abducted, raped killed in the name of honor, shot at and unmentioned. Is this liberation or is it hell?

Womancreated,in man's image I have always been fascinated with history, especiallyin regard to what was considered trmdy and fashionable and the everchanging notion of what constitutesbeauty.

For cenh:ries, women have been victims of the fashion industry. In the l9A centrry Victorian era, corsets were the must-have in a woman's wardrobe. They were laced and tied as tight as possible to create a bellshaped ffgure that essentiallyresulted in the inability to breathe. Because of this, it was fashionable to Dass-ouLdue to the constriction of the corlet Women were fainting in parlon all over Europe.

Bonnets and parasols were used to avoid exposure to the sun because it was unfashionable and considered low social rank to have tarured skin, which was associatedwith working outdoors. The white, pale-hce look eventrally frzed out and historians contend that tanned skin became popular in dre 1920sbecause of dre popularity of the famous Black entertainer Josephine Baker. A fascination with darkened skin quickly ensued.

The farnow master artist Rembrandt (160G1669) glamorized the women of his day, vrho were voluph.rous,round and sensual. And the impressionist painter Renoir (1841-1919) was known for his paintings of ample-sized women st€pping out of the bath.

Love driees all aspects

of our lives According to Amazon-com, there are 68,000 bools wdtten on the subject of love.

By conbasl there are 20,000 books written on the subject of math.

Because I spend most of my days in a computer lab rather then taking the relationship quiz in this month's Cosmopolitanmagazine, this intrigues me ...

The question: Why is this?

The answer:Becausewe live in a society that is infahrated with the idea of love. Our minds are consumed with romance.

We ponder last night's hookup in our mind as we type out ow symposium for psychologr class.In essence,the indusky is giving us exacdy what we want to read.

Lateln when I listen to my friends talking, it seemsthat dating is gone and hooking uD - is in.

We watch "Sex and the City' with our gir.lfriendsbefore going out to the local bars, and, when last-call is over, it all becomes a reality. All of a sudden it is sex in 0zr city, our bedroom, our lab partner's ilorm room; sometimes it even starts in the elevator before we make it to the t}ird-floor door of our aPanmenl We just met the guy, and we think maybe he is "The One." Maybe we are in love?

Is this really it? Our heads spin with the idea of this, the idea of romance.

Or is it spirming becauseof that last shot ofJligei?

Yeo. it was that last shol The next moming we wonder what this random person is doing on our side of the bed. The sun shines through the curtains and gives us a headache, but not as much of a headache as when we strain to try and remember his name; w.ur it Bobby? Or maybe it was Billy ... last cal at 852's is going to be the ONLY call you ever get from this guy.

It seemshooking up has become an extacurricular activity, especially at colleges.

We think of it as a hobbn almost like play_-

So I hw mvself." Luke said.

Luke compares cutting to geEing a piercing. "You know how it feels when you get a piercing, the needle going ttrough? It kind of hurts, but it feels good a.tthe same time.'

Luke said he came from a loving family, free of abuse, but wishes now that they had been sfticter *'ith bim.

"I love my family and I don't blame them." said Luke. "but sometimes I wish they had paid a liule more attention and had shown a litde more disciplinewith me."

Luke also ciited a*g. and a lack of sleeo as the causeof his SIB. Lack of sleep can lead to anxiety, another comrnon causeof SIB. "I was in this deep -inhole of despair and I cut a hole my ai:m to match il' Luke said, referring to a long night of drug use.

Adults can also suffer from SIB. For example, Kate is a 32-year-old mother of four who worlc with the elderly. Kate "went carving" at 12 years old because of an abusive father and witnessing the suicide of her older brother. .I didrt even know why I was doing il" Kaie said. "I was internalall the evenb that happened in

manic depression and at 20, she staned gefring tattoos and piercings to quench her SIB. Recendy, Kate formd a ouesflonable altemative for SIB. Kate is now in a bondage/discipline/sadomasochistic relationship, which she said is "sick and twisted."

The only abuse inflicted on her body is by her partner, and it is oniy done at her w'ill.

"It's not like anything you read in books,' Kate said.

"I know that if I need that re leaseI can ask for it " Ka.tâ&#x201A;Źsaid. 'He helps me to work through things."

It is often believed, especially with selfabusers, that cutting their arms where others can see is a cry for attention. Granlund said that, oftentimes. cutters with reallv severe issuescut their legs and othLr places that aren't visible in daytoday activiues.

"Sometirnes, in a relationship, a person won't know they're with a cutter until they get their clothes ofl," Granlund said. "But I've seen people so badly cut on their legs that the panem looks like a zipper all over their body."

Carly doesn't see henelf as one of those attentiongrabbing girls, but her scars are extremely visible and very "zipper-like" up her left arm.

Along Luke's right arm are scars that say "PAIN DEATH DEPRES SION DESPAIR" Carlv claims she can

"For me, it used to be kind of a coping method," said Carly, 'but now it's al addiction. I've come io a point where I quite hncy (*ni"S)."

Carly, like Granlund, insists that SIB is not deadly. "99 percent of the time, cutting is nonJethal," Granlund sald.

Carly maintains that she is now, 'OK in the head," but other cutters have chosen to seek help, as Granlund zuggests.

Luke was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and, for a short time, sought therapy and took medication.

'You have to have better contol of your emotions if you want to get better." Luke said. "If vou can't do that on your own, then you should seeknrofessionalhelo."

G-ranlund .uy. the best way to deal with the problem is usually medication, therapy and talk theraDv. -' For now. Carlv seems determined to um do-lr.n help and continue her behavior.

"Realistically, I'm not going to stop. I think if I wanted to stop I could, but it would continue to be there." Carlv said.

In &e meantime, Carly lools only to henelf for help. "[ accept myself and I've goten to the point where I'm cool with i!" she said. "I know iCs not the prettiest thing in the world to do, but you have to see vourself as beautifi:l."

didn't know how to deal with in any other way."

At 17, Kate was diagnosed with

Wor onDrugs orWor onEducolion?

As college students around the counby prepare for midterrns, thousands of their would-be classmatesdon't have anything to study for becauseof a federal law that stips financial aid frorn people with drug convictions.

The policy is being reconsidered as Congress renews the Higher Educalion Act for the ffrst time in seven years. While the HEA was originally enacted in 1965 to make education more accessible,the Drug ftovision-added during the 19S HEA reauthorization-is an unjustiffable roadblock in the path to college. Over the past seven yea$, more than 175,000shrdenb have lost financial aid becauseof the HEA Drug hovision.

Every student affected by this law has already gone through the courts. Taking away their financial aid pr.rnishesthem twice for the same crime. Drug crimes are the only infractions for which studentslose aid-murderers and rapists are still eligible. And be cause of the discriminatory enforcement of dmg laws, ttre policy disproportionately affects people of color.

Last month, the Government Accotrntability Office was unable to ffnd evidence that the provision reduces drug abuse, In fac! other federal studies show tlnt high school graduates not altending college are more likely to use drugs than those in college.

According to the Census Bureau, college graduates eam 62 percent more each year and $l million more over lifetimes ttran people with only high school diplomas.

They pay twice as much federal income tax than high school graduates. The revenue. slashing aid ban is unacceptable in a time of budget shordalls.

The law does more than hurt revenue: it escalatespublic spending. Educated people are less likely to rely on cosdy social programs like welfare and public housing. This provision wrongly prevents people from pulling themselves up by their bootstraps and becoming productive, taxpaying citizens.

The musical seting creates a si conceptual problem for a modern audience. Wrifren in 1970 and based r'; on of several short stories written by st George Furth, "Company" was the .ir ffmt musical to be presented as a con- h cept show rather than a well devel- a n oped story line with a defined plot Speci.fic scenes in this musical have d lost their initial effect in that they deal n 'I with issues like casual sex, drugs, homosexuality and divorce from a e '70s perspective. The play's original -rt purpose was to leave the audience p thinking abou! and discussing,mod- a emday issues.With the "generalion gap," the audience might sh:uggleto ti $ leave with the intended efiect.

The cast of this oroduction did a an impressive job of creating a gen- tl erational disconnection as well as C convincingly conveying the main \ element of the plot namely, the un- | ' 1 breakablebonds offriendship.

that helned convev the neurosis and fi-aritic nahre of the character. Amy sarrg her part with impeccable attack and clear diction. which helped her characterization of a nervous and dysfunctional bride-to-be.

"Marry Me A Lir de" was cut from the original performance becauseit was deemed as too depressing. Its inclusion in this pro duction adds to the depth of the characten and the gravity of the musical's cenhal theme. Robert s sudden desire to wed entails a massive psychological shift. The second act involves Robert coming to terms with being unmarried, and this psychological processis not always pretty.

Despite the morose lyrics of this song, hope for Robert comes when he shares a night in bed with April.

Unfortunateln nothing comes of the relationship. In Mebo's production, the scene where the characters make love was uniquely choreographed with bed sheets and the voiced dialogue of the characters' inner thoughts. After the night they share, Robert and April sing "Barcelona."

The two parts are completely different however they meet on certain words like "fln" creating a concel> Td ""ity for the character and for tne song.

In the end, Robed no longer wants to be on the "outside looking in." The ffnal song, "Being Alive," tells the audience that even thouq-h Robert was living as a single man, f,e was utterly alone. To him. that was not real\'kving.

Although the psychological impact of the play is not as timely as it was in 1970, this musical still left the audience wiih many issues to contemplate and discuss. The conflicts and- conundrums Robert has to face are still haunting many single people in 2005. Even as the themes remain pedinent, the musical treatnent of the songspays respect to Sondheim's original vision. All the shrdents involved in this pedormance should be proud of theiriccomplishmen! it was a very challenging task. I encor.rage all people to asend this musical and ty to ind the many hidden messages for our intellechnl consideration tlat the cast and director have placed throughout this performance.

Cook cooks Populor brond ofhumor comic brings unique toDenver oudience

By Joe Nguven nguyjos@mscd.edu Dane Cook has taken observafional comedy a step fi.uther from its humble, "did you ever notice" origins.

Observational comedy is a style where stand-up comedians make quirky remarks about ddngs that occur in everyday life. During the 1990s, Jerry Seinfeld popularized this brand of humor and ushered in a new era of the art form. Many have tried to imitate this style, but few have gone on to achieve success.

Cook is a comic who has taken this style to the next level. He talks about how public bathrooms always have the most offensive messageswritten in them.

He tells stories a.bout his ex:Derienceof having a onenight stand "an ONS' as he calls it He talks about his dream of having 19 kids and naming them after cartoon charactsts he grew up watching, lil^re"theheroes in the "tansformers".seiies.

Cook performed in the 5,0(Dpersonrapacity lectrre hall of the Colorado Convention Center this past Friday.

The sold-out crowd welcorne*him with a barrage of "Super Fingers" (or Su-Fi), an upgrade of the middle ffnger where the ring finger is also raised. Cook invented this salute at a show years be. fore.

The performance included both old and new material and dlew waves of laughter and cheers after every joke.

Many of the jokes had subde, inside riffs woven inlo of the performance, so that only longime fans would understand them. The audience broke into loud cheers when he whispered "pickles" into the microphone, a reference to a story he had used in years past, about working in a drivetlrru,

Unlike his television specials and CDs, Cook often didn't finish his stories.

He would go on about one subject, go off on a tangent about another and then go off on a different tangent, never re hrming to his original thoughr A lesser comedian would have received a ]ackluster response from the audience, but this was Dane Cook. The crowd didn't care, because he was funny despite his veering.

Cook's star has risen exponenhally since becoming a fi:lkime comedian in 1993. In the late '90s, he performed on Comedy Central's, "hemium Blend" and "Comics Come Homeo before getting his own special in 2000. In 2003, Cook released his ffnt comedy CD/ DVD set, "Harmfin If Swa]lowed." The set has sold over 200.000cooies.

This past July, Cook rlleased his sophomore .album, a three CD/D\{D comoilation called *Retaliation." It debuted at No. 4 on Billbmrd magazine's top 200 albums chart and is a certiffed Gold Record, having sold over 500,000 copies. It was dre highesi-ranking comedy album since Steve Martin's "A Wild and Cmzy Guy,".which hit No. 2 back in 1979.

Most recendy,Cook appearedin the movie "Waiting...," starring Ryan Reynolds ("Van Wilder") and Justin Iong "Dodgeball"). Cook plays, coincidentally, a cook named Floyd, who works at a restaurant called Shenanigans.

His energetic performances and unique oudook on topics ranging from UFOs to love have led to his success and made him a cult favorite. At the end of his show, Cook left the au&ence wanting more as they gave him a standing .ovafion.

Tlte Erit puts its messagebeforemoney

By CandacePacheco cpachelT@mscd.edu Looking for a way oubide the norm?

Then head for The Exit an edectic New York band that stives to execute the unexpected.

A base of classiq and punk rock is accented with dashesof folk and reggae to cre 4 rrnique sound without boundaries. Ben "1s Brewels guitar playing is gritty and rougtl but tiggers the irresistible urge to move.

His rift sound like they are going in circles, bouncing across the shings like a kid on a water slide. Gunnar's is a monshous force, like thunder waming the world of a coming storm. Vocalist Jeff DaRosa brinp a refreshing voice tlrgt rings hard and ' saong, like a call from the wild, beckoning everyone to listen up. The result is a brilliant live show and a solid album sound.

The band recendv swikhed from Some Records, where thel released two dbums, to Wind-up Records. The switch to a larger label should improve their chancesof being heard and give their talent room to expand. uWe felt like we had sung all we could for Some Records,' Brewer said.

Their initial release for Windup will be a rerecorded version of their second album, Hotw Fo An Island. According to Brewer, the new recording, released Oct 11, has a more courageors and raw sound compared to ib previous release.With the new album, the band stopped trying to create the perfect lyric and concenbated on what correlated widr their style. "(Ihe second album's lyrics) are more ranty and weird. We got deeper and more jammy," Brewer said.

The Exit works hard to be heard. On tour practically year round, they can barely find time to do their lur-dry. Traveling so much" dre guys have to write while on the road, but Brewer sayshe trinks there is a bit of an advantageto iL aThere is a loneliness that happens only on the road," he said.

The band's political views and agendas about the world help shape their message.

They write about issuesthat may be socially and politically taboo, such as the war, all the sadnessand hatred going on in the world, and how society influences the way one lives his or her life. This social conscience gives them depth and a way for their audience to relate.

The tide track of the new album expressesthe relief that music brings from the sorrow over what is happening in America.

"Back To The Rebels," is about trying to es cape social and political pressuresand finding a middle gromd. "Soldier," an acoustic folk song with a crying harmonica, is about the reality and pain of those ffghting in ihe war.

The Exit isn't about making a sackload of money and spending their days on the beachesof Maui" as much as they might enjoy ftat Their goal is for fans !o get some thing out of their mr.rsic.They mezrsuresuccessby how well they accomplish thar "(We want to) get a solid message out there," Brewer said.

AIso incorporated on the DVD is a variety of video material, including an interview, music videos and excerpb from a live performance, As an added bonus, the DVD version plays track tides on tre TV screen, fading in and out in time with the mwic as they mter and leave the mix. It's a neat feature that illusFates the courplexity of Hawtin's technioue.

It is surprising to know that at any given moment there are between two and eight difierent songsplaying sirnultaneously.This could make for a dense, even muddled lis terring experience, bu! if anything it's quite the opposite.

Noonereceiving Met Radio seelulisteners,DJs

By Megan Carneal mcamcal@mscd.edu JusticeJackson is the man who brought hiphop icon Kanye West and the group Young Gunz to Metro to meet strdenb. So why aren't more peorplelistening?

Jackson is the station manager of Metro's strdent{un radio station, Met Radio, and one of the few strdenb left who can run the station. "I'm like the last Samurai," he said with a grin. He has been at the radio station for 2 Vzyean, but he has been DJing for the past 17 years.

Ouside of school and nrnning the station, Jaclson produces for his own companv. Mlk and Butter hoductions. He also rftto had a poem published in the m+m5 "ttdMetrnPlure. He ts currendy working on a screenplay dtled "Writen Block."

Jackson is a bury guy, but still manages to do four shows oer week for Met Radio and has big plans f6r this semester Jackson's radio shows feahre R&8, jaz, and hiphop. "Lob of hiphop," he said.

Rjght now, he is listening to a lot of Biggie.

He said he has been listening to that one for vears. FloeEy is another artist that has been hoging up fus hstening time.

Jaclaon is dedicated to the station but has one big gripe with iL He said Met Radio "is a gold mine tha.tno one has put a shovel to." The problem is that Met Radio operales on a low-power frequency with only

three watb of power. In layman's terms, that means the stafion can only be broadcast in the Tivoli on 88.3 FM. "If I could only get seven more walb I could be heard all through Denver," Jackson said "I have been to a lot of campuses and seen their radio (stations) and we are be hind," he said. "Shrdenb paying as much as we do should be able to have a radio (stafion)." Currendn the only way for students to listen to the Met Radio oubide of the Tivoli is online at metradio.mscd.edu.

"My goal before I graduate is to get hooked up in the dorms," he said. Another part ofJaclaon's plan to expand the station is to get more shrdent supporl He plans on seting up some outdoor functions in the future to spread the word.

Met Radio fea.trres more than just hip hop. 'Talk Sex with Melissa" is a program dedicated to dealing with the educational side of sex. There are also two news shows: Jamie's News Hour" and "Afghanjstan News and Music." There is already a strong diversity among dre shows, but the station is always looking to expand its programming.

Jackson welcomes any sh.rdentinterested in working at the station. iJust lvalk into student pub' and sigxrthe dotted line ... this is all your money, I'm not gonna say you're not qualified" Jackson said. The Office of Surdent Publications is in Tivoli Room 313.

Women continue strong plovin ilre'rood Roadrunners earn pair of

shutouts in non-conference Texas two--step Bv Jeremy Johnson 1john318@mscd.edu The Meho women's soccer team took a pair of close wins this weekend in a road trip through Texas. The Roadnlrners won both non-conferencegames by ffnal scoresof 1{, maintaining the top seed in NCAA Division tr and improving to 134{ on the season.

Meho traveled to San Antonio 0o fuce Incamale Word (7-21) on Friday. It was there that the 'Rurmers ran into their biggest challenge so far this season.

The Cardinals kept pace with the 'Rr,rnners until the 85b minute, when Incamate Word was charged with a penalty that resulted in a free kick.

Junior midfielder Kira Sharp threaded a shot through the defense to give Metro a onegoal lead and the evenhral victory. The goal off a free kick was the second for Sharp in as many weeks.

"This was a big win on the road for us," Mebo head coach Danny Sanchez said. "It w:rs a very good goal by Kira to give us a great win.'

Sharp continues to make an impact in her ffrst year as a Roadrunner. 'She's done very well and scored some timely goals when we needed them,' Sanchezsaid.

The 85 minutes of scorelesssocoer was the longest drought of the season for Metro.

The Roadnrnnen forurd similar resulb when they traveled to Austin to compete against St Edwards University on Sunday.

Metro spent most of fte first half with the Hilltoppen (44{) in a scorelesstie before junior forward Kylee llanavan scored her leaguCea'li.g 14&goal of the season on a penalty kidc The goal cane with four minutes left in the half and would be Metro's only goal of the game, deqpite out*hooting Sr Edwards l4-5.

Mebo doesn't play football, but that doesn't mean it can't have a team.

Though the Roadrunnen are limited to only nine varsity teams, there is no resbiction on the number of club bams on the Auraria Campus.

"W" W to give shrdent athletes the autonomy to handle their teams as they wish," club sporb director PeterJulian said.

Beginning this year, the Mebo Intercollegiate A6letics Departnent took over supervision of club sporb. While the job was previously handled by campus recreation, the athletics deparbnent offers a new level of validity and organization to club atl etjcs.

"The athletic departnent overseesit and makes sure these tearns are playing by the nrles,'Julian said.

Team membenhip is not limited to Metro shrdenb. Club team membenhip is open to students at Metro, UCD and CCD. Auraria faculty and staff are also eligible for club membership, trough a non-student fee is required. There is no age or NCAA eligibility requirement for club tâ&#x201A;Źan participation.

Julian explained that most clubs use the Meko name even though they are open to everyone. 'They're pimarily composed of Meko State surdents," he said.

The Club Sports Manual, which can be found online at hrp://gomehostate.colleges ports.com, setsguidelines for the creation of a club team.

In individual club sporb, such as golf, a minimum of five members is required to es tablish a team. For team sports ftke football, there must be enough players to fill a roster.

Metro Athletics assisbnew clubs with necessary paperwork to establisha club team and helps teams maintain compliance.
