I-ow-risk FIPV can cause genital warts in either males or females and high risk FIPV can cause cervical cancer in women. There is also a relatively rare strain of HPV that can cause anal cancer in ma]es. ln most cases,the virus will remain dormant for months and there it is imnossible for doctors to detect rhe presencebf highrisk HPV in males.

Smoking can exacerbate high-risk FIPV, causing cancerous cells 0omature at a faster rate. Cr:rrendy, scientists are testing a vaccination, on young women, for high-risk HPV. Once approved by the Food and Drug Administration, the vaccination would be available for adolescent women before thev become sexuallv active.

-HPV has reached near epidemic proDortions in the United States and a^ffects75 percent of people between the ages of 18 and 28, according to Planned Parenthood.

The following are penonal accounts of four individuals who have contracted the virus. The names of the following individuals have been changed to protect their idenuty.

Lucy When Lucy was 16, she was in a commined rela[onship with a male who gave her high-risk HPV. After going in for her armual well-woman exarn. she received a phone call alerting her that she had an abnormal Pap smear, Soon after, many of Lucy's friends admited to having FIPV and were there to support her.

When she initially scheduled the loop elechosurgical excision procedure, or LEEP procedure, rrfrich uses electical current to scrape abnormal cells from the cervk, she was so tense the doctor couldn't insert the speculum. Lucy had to reschedule the q> pointnent, which went well the second time

Since testing positive for high-risk HPV, Lucy has been honest and open with all of her sexual partners, encouraging them to ask questions about the virus. Lucy has also acted as a counselor for her friends when they have tested positive. From the time Lucy tested positive for HPV, nearly 80 perfor cent of her friends have tested positive one type of the virus or another.

"I wish more literature was available for people io educate themselves about HPV and other STD's-to bring about a higher level of awareness-so thai when individuals test positive, they won't be embarrassed or shocked,' Lucy said.

Audra After contracting bacterial vaginitis, Au&a rehrmed to the free STD clinic at Denver Health for the second time in two months, only to discover that she had tested positive for cervica.l cancer during her last visit and that her case had been lost in the system.

Shortly after discovering this, she was seen

right away at the women's care clinic. She was prepared for a colposcopy,which is a pain-free examination of the cervix, but she receivedthe LEEP procedure,instead.

About a month after the I,EEP procedure, Audra received the results that she had microinvasive adenocarcinoma of the cervrx.

'I rvascompletelyawed,' Audra said. "I tried to stay positive, but I allowed myself to feel the range of emotions while not getting completely sucked into grief. Cancer is a scary word. I immediarely quit smoking and imagined ninja white blood cells kicking asson the cancer."

Audra's soecialist recommended a total hvsterectomy to remove the uterus and the cervix, as opposed to doing a cone biopsy to remove a coneshaped section of the cervi:g which may not get rid of all the c,urceroul cells. The other option was to do nothing at all.

In preparation for the hysterectomy, her surgeon wamed her that her bowels may

dpfunction during the procedure, or that she may lose the ability to experience an orSasm.

Before the surgery, Audra recalled saying to her-mother; "Thefre going !o get in there. and take out mv uterus and then they're not going to find anything."

Audra went under the knife on Feb. 8, 2006 and was able to go home within tlree days of the surgeqy.

"Laughing was the wont thing" she said.

"Throughout the whole ordeal I was constandy trying to find humor (albeit) daxk or morbid in everything, and it hurt immensely to laugh for days after the surgery."

About three weeks after the surgery Audra had a meeting with her doctor and, as it fums out, there were no cancer cells. She didn't even need the hysterectomy, but "it was worth i!" she said. "If only for peace of mind."

By Andrea Schreirrer aschrel?@mscd.edu A female shrdent was allegedly sexually assaultedby an unidentified man wearing a ski mask at 9:&5p.m., March 1, in Auraria Parking Lot A', which is one block northwest of the Auraria Police DepartnenL The woman was assaulted by the unarmed assailant while walking to her car, according to Ar-rraria Police, who received information about the incident from Denver Police.

The suspect is described as a white or Hispanic male, standing about 5 feet l0

inches tall and weighing 170 pounds. He is believed to be between 25 and 30 yean old and was wearing a long-sleeveshirt and baggy black jeans.

According to Heather Coogan, chief of police for the Ar.raria Campus, the assailant forced the woman to perform oral sex on him.

No wikresseswere reported and Coogan said she does not know why the assaultwent unnoticed.

"There were a lot of people corning and going because the Nuggets game was ending'' Coogan said.

After the assault,the woman went home and spoke to her familn who advised her to call Denver Police.

She went to the Distict 3 station to report the assaulcDenver police accompanied her to Auraria to report the incident to campus police. uWe've contacted her and ofiered counseling drough the school and the Health Center," Coogan said.

There were no sexual assaulc reported

at Auraria in 2005, according to the Ar.rraria Police statisticalcomparison. nWe have the safest crime statistics of a cermpus this size in the United States,' Coogan said. "Even motor vehicle theft is presy small, especially when we park 12,000 carsper day."

Red Rocks Community College has similar statistics.Bob Kraus, chief of police at RRCC. said there were no sexual assaults reported in 2005.

Four casesof forcible rape were reported to the Univenity of Colorado Campus Police in 2005. said LL Tim McGraw. who ovenees baining and sta.ffservices.

The Auraria Police recendy had a discussion about what they could do to prevent future assaults,according to Coogan.

Sta.ff members suggested having better signage indicating the location of the campus police departnent and improving the lighting in some of the lob that are dark.

'A is not a dark lot" Coogan said.

"Iot "Ids prerv well lit" phones are in most parking *""r!*"y

Iots, and there is one in Iot '.{, Coogan said.

When a student picks up the phone a strobe light goes off and the phone dials Auraria police, Coogan said. It is not necessary to know where the call is being placed becausethe Auraria Police has Caller ID. Wearing iPods and talking on cell phones is a problem, Coogan said.

"People just are not attentive,' Coogan said.

Surdeng are allowed to carry mirce or sormd alarms, such as horns or whisdes, but guns aJenot allowed.

"The nrle conceming weapons is that you never want to ca-rry a weqron that, if hrmed on you, could be fatal," Coogan said.

"You can survivemace."

The Auraria Police offer Rape Aware ness Defense (RAD) taining several times a year for a nominal fee. The classesare for women only. 'tJpically have poor tumouts," "We Coogan said.

When she rehrmed widr yean of e>iperience in human services,she wanted to apply for a workshrdy program, only to ffnd that she had not filled out the right paperwork to qualify.

Farrar found out she was on academic probation because of classes she had dropped years ago. ;i As a Human ServicesProfessionsmaior, Farrar is now in her la* year and has-an intemship under Colorado Representative Jerry Frangas,who is the prime sponsor of a house bill addressing obstacleslike the ones Farrar faced.

Frangq, a democrat for Dshict 4, came to tlrc B*er Braun Lounge to speak to studenb oryfriday, March 3 about House Bill 0Gl0%, Aincernlng underserved studentsat instifutions of higher education.

HB 0G1021 has received bipartisan sup port and reqponds to the growing retention rate among low-income and minority students at schools acrossthe state.

"In Colorado, college participation raGs show marked difference based on income level and race/ethnicity," stated the Bell PoIicy Center's state and local opportunity note, authored by Opportunity Anaryst Frank Waterous.

When Metro participated in a study called the Equity Scorecard, it was found that shrdents of color are more likely to need remedial courses, though the faculty and resources may not alwap be available

"At-risk shrdents (or shrdents at risk of failing gra.des)would be detected based on an early warning system," Frangas told students and faculty of Auraria on Fridan 'they

0othem.

The study also found that students of color have a lower mean GPA when entering Meko.

HB 0G1024 would require Colorado's higher education instihrtions to add an addendum to their performance contracts by Aug. 1, 2006, demonstrating their commitment to the successof underserved strdents tbrough support sewices.

These support services would include individual assessmenttools for underserved studentsor shrdentsin need of basic skills in-

struction, ways of identiSing studenb al risk of academic failure and faculty mentoring programs for these shrdents.

Frangas said the bill is also looking at improving the availability of work-shrdy to r.mderservedstudents, though there are federal mandates that need to be worked with.

An underserved student is any student who is eruolled, but not deeply involved with the resourcesof a college or univenity, Frangas said Sbrdies have shown that students who *'ork on campus have a high correlation with success,he said.

Frangas said having someone there to help guide studenb tlmugh the process can really matter, as he described his own college experience, including his years as a Meho studenl Frangasalso spoke about creating an online text tibrary, which would include only tJrenecessarychapters of textbooks that professon require for classes,cufiing down on the amount of money strrdenb would have to spend on books.

'Voten will be putring their money into these programs and we're going to make sure it works." he said. "to make sure that we're using the money in the most effective ways possible."

If the bill is passed institutions will be required to negotiate feefor+ervice conFacb annuallv to deliver a vaxietv of unfimited support services,which are proven efiective basedon research.

The language of the bill allows for instihrdons to decide which programs drey will put in place to help raise surdent persistence and retention.

Farrar said Meho has a number of re. sourcesto help students,but they need help ffnding them and this bill would encourage faculty to participate in the help.

"I am a fairly determined persorl" she said about the obstades she had retuming to school as a low-income studenL "BuL I can see how it would be easy for someone who's heard 'no' all their life to trun around and give up."

Strdent criminologists, a litde hesitant at ffrsg combed the ruspect Cadillar SIIV in quadrans. Qyestions about procedures and ffndings intermingled as surdene pulled things out of the ca./s noolc and crannies.

The inspecting studenb took about 15 minutes to build a cache of clues: an opened condom wrapper, a dress surffed into a rear storage compaftneng a wellJridden blonde wig a bullet casing, a bag of hke cocaine, women's shoes and some dirt clods on the &iver's side floor mal Earlier, Whibom told the dass that real crime scenes gpicdly dont offer so rnany clu6.

Some in the group noticed the aroma of marijuana in the breeze, but Whibom had nothing to do with iL A tsue investigator, he held a blade of grassto tbe wind to see if he could locate the source.

"Dnags and sex are related to all crime scenes,"Whibom said, half jokingly.

Whisom and some of his shrdenb sai4 in real [ife, crime scenesare dirty and some times reek. In real life, detectives wouldnt take a casefrom crime scene to solution.

"What s your hypothesis at this pointl" he asked the class.

I arn not saying women in the U.S. have it worse than anv other countrv in the world.

I am, however, saying we need to realize that our govemment does not view women's rights as any more important than any other cotmty in the world.

Women's righb in this cormtsy have become a politcal opportunity, not a human rights, personal or even medical issue. Politicians who conbol our lawmaking are for abortion rights when it will ensure reelection and a posh lifestyle. A publicly elected official speaking agairst rape, domestic violence, the effects of occupation on women, unequal pay and so rnany other women's issues in this country is so rare you would ihink half ihe population of this globe does not exisl Even wone, I grew up in a generaton ihat swears they found their liberation in a miniskirt and a bikini. Recendy, I overheard some women thrilled to have formd a birth contol oill that will limit them to menstruate a m".e fo* times a year. They swore this was true freedom. Meanwhile, theh rights to reproductive freedom are being eroded in state legislaturesand the highest court in the land.

Female identiffed .friends, it is time we raise a bit higher our standardsfor a free so ciety. Remember, women fought tooth and nail and were willing to risk their freedom and their lives to get us the rights we have.

We should be willing to give more to defend them.

I am calling for a female insurgency within this county. I want all of us to realize that women in this couney and in this world are under a.ttackby the United States,be it through wars or legislation. I want us to do something about this. l,et's start simole^ When a state outlaws abortion like South Dakota has done, lets refuseto go there. Do not support a state's tourist industry when its politicians do not recognize our rights to our bodies. After all, the only thing worth visiting in South Dakota is the Pine Ridge Resewation !o sup port the inrligenous sfuggle there, but that s another column.

Next, look at your personal life. Really, the personal is political, and if your sexual parhrer is not going to respect your choice of birth control, STD prolection, abortion and personal safety barrien, then you do not need to be sleeping with them. TaIk to your parher; ensure that they undersand

ZOE WTLLIAMS your rights and ability to choose, regardless of what the state says.

Also, recognize that our nation is dramatically affecting the freedoms of other women. Do notjust recognize this, do something about i! and something besides writing letters. Tell our leaders that when they hurt a woman anywhere, they hurt us; and when they hurt us, we ftght back.

Really, what I want is to see women, especially young women, realize there is no one looking out for them except for other women and the occasional a]Iies of other genders. Once we realize this, we wiil no longer wait for lawmakers to make good choices for us, we will make good choices possible for everyone. When that happens, I will have a happy Intemational Women's

Being the incurable news jrmkie that I am, the reports of rioting in the Mddle East required my immediate attention. I would have to call a taxi to make it to work on time tonight, but I didn't care. The breaking news of Muslim outrage over Danish cartoons made my delay simply unavoidable. I had to get my ffx.

Even as I climbed into the cab with only l0 minutes to get to wor\ all I could think about was the cartoon riob. Was the West being culhrrally insensitive, or were those crazy Muslims just freedom-hafing again?

Only when the driver asked me where I wanted to go, did I snap out of my crazed political shrpor. His English had an exotic accen! and as the man widl wild hair and coffee skin sped us ofr, he was already well ino telling me all about the crazy &ivers on the sfbet ioday. I was quickly beconring well versed in the efficiency of Ethiopian driving techniques, as compared with the inferior local style.

At ffmt, the stories were interesting. Unfortunately, I was already showing signs of politics withdrawal. All I wanted to know was what he thought about the freedoms of Danish cartoonisb, the hafFc talk was not doing it for me. I could no longer ffght the pressing urge. I intermpted and asked what he thought about today's riots in reartion to Muhammad's safirical depiction and where freedom of speech had ib boundaries.

"You know," he answered, "it all comes down to the rnind of winners and losers, op pressor and oppressed.In the Wesg God is a luxury. For Muslims, God is the symbol of resistance.He is the symbol of hope and relief from their endless loss. The Muslims were a proud pmple and now they have nothing. God is the only thing they have left so he is sacred.The cartoons iust came at the wrong time. The Muslims think the West is mocking them when they are already suffering enough humiliation."

Interesting, I thought Perhaps this was not just about the cartoons after all. We do not immediately think of artjstic fieedoms when we see the sav4ge carica-h:resofJews drawn during the Nazi regirne in Germann or when we see the horrendous porhayal in the popular media of Africans during slavery, yet we expect the Muslims to have a senseof humor as their cities bum. The cartoons were offensive icing on the cake.

Nearing my workplare, as if to close the case, the cabbie added, "Aryrvay, I had a brother who lived for a year in Denmark, he said it was a really rough place for foreigners."

Now. I was really curious. I had to set more information. bid cozy little we[-6e haved Denmark have a dark side?

After slinging spaghetti for eight hours and then taking the necessaxymeasures to ensure that the proper 'jobdetoxiffcation" was underway, I sat down at the computer with my cocktail arld cigaxetteto do a bit of cyber dumpster diving.

Typing in "Danish cartoons" I was given 4 million or so storiesthat supported Danish free speechwith pretty much the same opinion. It was when I searched under "Darrish racism" that I really found the juicy shrff.

METROPOLTTAN

MEIRO TOREFORMAT TIME FOR

sNcE 1979

One bf the responsibilities of 71u Mctropolitan is to make sure our fellow Meho studenb know what their adminisbation knowy--or in this case,doesn'L Time and time agairL over the course of two open meetings, hesident StephenJordan has repeated, "I'm sorry, but I don't know the answer to that question," or some equally worthless variation of the adminiskative cold shoulder.

'Well, we're sorry, but we're sick of not geting answers.

This much is fact according to a police reporl a lapiop was stolen from the home of Daniel Parks, associatbdirector of admissionsand data ma.nagemenl A reporter and photographer from this paper were shut out of Parks' oftce - in a public buil.ling - while trying to get his comments about this issue, and or:r staff has been consistendystonewalled by the Metro adminisbation while attempting to gather informafion.

Now, aay other day this wouldn't be a big deal. But the kicker is, the laptop may-or many not have-contained an unencrypted Excel document with 93,000 students' personal information.

According toJordan, Parls doesn't know whether or not he purged the informafion from the laptop, which, to us, means he did nol People usually remember doing specific things and have .lifrculty remembering things they didn't do.

Accordihg to the report, which was filed by Parks,the only things taken from his home were the laptop (which the Denver police have consistentlywritten as "lab-top"), its bag and five "D&D books."

Tlie report sap the burglar entered tloo"gh an unlocked front window, "made their way through the house," removed the items and left through the front door.

Mum has been the word from the Denver Police Departmenl as well.

So, this burglar wandered through this house and took only a laptop? No CDs? No DVDs? No other elechonic equip ment? This burglar couldn't ffnd anything elseworth grabbing

while committing a felony?

And what do the police have to show for their investi.What sort of qualiffer gation? Possible fingerprints. Possible? ls that? Are they fingelprinb or not? Whose ffngelprinb are they?

Metro's adminisFation has also changed ib story as time has progressed.

During our ffrst discussionswith Meto adminishators, we were told shrdbnts'names,Social Security numbers and courses taken were the only data in the file. Since that time, personal addressesand birthdates have been added to the list giving an interestedparty everything they would need to fraudulentJy apply for a credit card.

OK, we're getting oftrack now and just heading toward more'unansweredouesfions.

I-et's set one thing shaight.

According to the Family Fducation Righs and Privacy Acl Meto is to maintain educational records for each student enrolled and students have the right to disclcrsureof these records, especially their admission information.

Parks has two sepa.ratecapacitiesin which he exists on this camPus. While Parks, as a college official fiIing for a Title III gr*t, is an exception to the ffi,RPA disclosurerule, Parls as a UCD student writing his maste$ thesisis not. He has rnassivelyoverstepped his bounds as a UCD student.

Because of Metro's apparent lack of ability to properly sepamteParks' capacities,it has put every Meho shrdent who attended from Fall 1996 to Summer 2005 at sehous risk. The Meho administration has put our credit and identities in jeop ardy. And Meto should be held responsible for ib blatant negligence toward our privacy.

We look forward to the reports that will be tled from a third party investig:ation.And fbr the ax to drop on those re sponsible for this abhorrent act of negligence.

Wallace and Gromit'in the Curre of the WerirRabbit Dreamlllorki Video 85 minutes $29.99 Wdlace and Gromit don't disappoint in 6eir debut on the big screen.

Directors Steve Box and Nick Park's feahre is a solid continuafion of the dvnamic duo's adventures from their divs as short filrns. With ib creative #ry, experdy varied cinema.tography and delightful characters,it's no wonder "Wallace & Gromit The Curse of dre Were-Rabbit" nron the Oscar-for Best Animated Feahre this past Sunday.

The atorv focuses on the duo's humane pestcdntrol business,"Anu-Pesto."

Wallace, voiced by Peter Sallis, teamsup with his hitlftl p€t to ffnd and capore a giant rabbit rhaj tenorizes the town just as *re armual giant v-egetablecompetition is about to take place. . This original and well-writt€n story is skillfully ransferred onto the big screen.

The directors paid painstaking attenton to the srnallest of dehils during the pre duction of the movie, a processthat took ffve years io complete. The result is a feahue filled with stunning imagery and is delicately integrated with exquisite music The dir'ectors manage to incorporate a host of narrative elements, from the comedic to the. dramatic, and fft them perfecdy into the Claymation format The fflm iniolporates all the character's quirks from the original fflrns and adds cinematic dep$" style and emotion.

When Wallace and Gromit want to rid a garden of pesky rabbiu, they use an elaborate suction gizno. As a rabbit is sucked into the contra4rtion'smain chamber, the perspective of the animation is third person as the bunny zooms toward an angelic light Combined with an epic, angelically*oundir€ t'ach it creates the impression that the rabbit is on ib

Mctor Quartermaine, voiced by Ralph Fiermes (*The Constant Gardener'), is the essentialover-lhetop zupewillain. His utter lack of morals and grizly canine sidekick add a good-versusevil dynanric to the story.

Still, it is the rabbib that steal the show in the end. Their jovial antics are a oerfect combination of cutenessand hil-adg/,cap0rrcd perfectly in clay.

The DVD b chock-full of special features. Beyond the typical inclusion of a directcn's commentary and deleted scenes, there arej lnany eye carching and informative elements.

A documentary explores the history of the duo, from their conception !o their big+creen foray. The fflrn also explores dre technical aspecb behind the animation, starting with early storyboarding and documenting the actual ffkning. The footage also includes interviews with the voice acton and the . directors.

maKng. The 6Im feahrresthree daectorsi Steven Soderbergh ("Ocean's Eleven"), Wong Kar Wai f20461 and Michelangelo Antonioni ("Blowup"). It is split into three parb, and each installment is shorter than the IasL Wong Kar Wai directs "The Hand,, the ffrst of the tlree parb. The story is about a young tailor, played by Chen Chanlg fCtouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon") who. develops an afiraction to his customer,,played by Gong Li ("Memoirs of a Geisha'), after she pleasureshim with her hands.

The poorly -even writlen story is barely salvageable, with the stellar acting of Chang and Li. It's frushating watching the young tailor fall for this woman with questionable moraI standards. There's no reason for him to become obsessedwith her, other than the fact that she plea.suredhim. If she had some redeemable quality bubide of her phpcal

beautv. it would make sense for him to be atr"ci"a b her, but she's simply a golddigger who follows those willing to pay for her comPany.

Soderbergh directed the next short en.tided, "Equilibriur" This whimsical story focuses on Nick Penrose, played by Rob-

ert Downey Jr. ("Good Nigh! and Good Luck"), who tells a psychiatrisl played by Alan Arkin ('Grosse Pointe Blank"), about a recurring dream he's been having.

Of the three shorts. this was the only err tertaining and engagingpiece of fflmmai<ing.

Arkin was slmply hilarious i+ his role as the

psychiatrisq who is dilh:acted by someone ouBide the window. At one poinl he pulls out a pair of binoculars.

The only flaw in this short is Soderbergh'.s inelevant montage of paper airplanes being thrown out of a building. This .footagewas more like a blooper reel than a piece of abst-act and honest filmmaking.

Antonioni's fflm, "The Dangerous .Thread of Things," completes the film.

This rmnecessary30 minutes of gratuitous nudity is the worst and least engaging installment For some reason. the lead female character decides !o wear a completely seethrough shirt while she and her husband go gallivanting about town. Later, he wanders . to a younger woman's house, she gets naked, and they give into their camal urges.

About halfiuay through, Antonioni abandons anything tl-rai resembles a plot and has the two women entering into a weind" naked dance sessionon the beacb.

This featrue made me laugh out loud. Not because it was intentionally funny, but be causeit made absolutely no sense.

Beyond Soderbergh's "Equilibrium," there isn't much else "Eros" has to offer. Ifs not wor6 picking up a fflm that featues only one{hird of salwageablematerial.

One oJ the purposes of this exhibifion is to broadeit the definition of art beyond 6e ordinary. Art is inhinsic in the most unlikely of places,including a cracke{:urinal or a heap of scrap metal. The metal pieces in this exhibit range fioQ'*dre firnctional and practical to the elaborate and abstracl "ME'fl{fisrns" include the collaborarion of 63. artisb, ffve of whom are from Cdofado. ha Sheriman stan& out as one of the most notable local artisb. Sh#an specializes in larger scale metal sculpinueswlth fuu:ristic ''' quali[ss.

"The AiSitator" is a contraption more fitting for a mad scientist'slaboratory than air art gallery. Composed of steel, brass and plastic, the piece is an artisfc exercise in meh]lic amalgamation. What results is a spiral of metal coils haced.with blue hrbes. The practical function of the piece is not imme.liately apparent, but it succeedsin its sheer aestheticdaring.

"Explosion Injecflon" is a similarly dominant sculph.re laden with futurisfc components. The piece is compbsed of steel, brass,plastic and gunpowder. It resemblesthe silhouette of a ribcage with red tubing flowing into an lV bag of copper accents.

This may be the last show for The Center of Visual Art, which is managed in co.llaboration with Mefio. The lease for the current location expires in April and it is unknovvn if they will bid for a new lease or acquire an extension.

Most of the bands performing were from the United Kingdom, but the tour a.lsoshowcasedsome of the best punk bands the Unired Stateshas !o offer.

I u'as about to tike some pictures of the band when I saw a surge in r}re crowd.

People began to scream and rtrn for the exits. I figued there might have been a ff$ht outside, and being an overeager joumalist, but still a young, dumb kid, I ran after the parLicked crowd hoping to get some great pictures. I ran halfiuay acrossthe venue and war met wittr the worst buming sensation I have ever experienced. My eyes swelled and my nostrils burned. It was tear gas; it overwhelmed me and I couldn't brealhe or see.I fell to the ground. Two arms grabbed me from behind and a female voice shouted ou! "C'mon girl, we gotta nrn.' She picked

me up off the ground and we ran together toward the backstageexib.

Once we. were baclatage, I hugged her and gave her the most sincere thanking of my life. I realized I had lost my boyfriend in the crowd and the confusion and chaos began to set in. After a few tense minutes, I found my bofiend. His eyeswere red and swollen, too. He ripped off a bandana from his wrist and I ued it amund my face hoping it would shield me from any more tear gas exPosure.

The baclcstage axea w:$ now packed with around 2,000 disoriented, confirsed and angry people. The reports started 0ofly about what, exacdy, had happened and why we had suddenly been tear gassed.

The trouble started when a group of Nazi skinheads showed up looking to cause touble and provoke ffghts, a common occurence, according to a local woman who has a.ttended several similar events. This timg, they got more than they bargained for., The show was packed with tlrousands of punks from different sub<ulurres, including a decent percentage of S.H.A.R.P.s, which stands for skinhbads against racial prejuorce.

During one of the sets, the Nazi skinheads invaded the -pit and started chanting "white power." The obvious racism in a group of multi-racial punls ini:riated the crowd and they countered with their own louder, more heated chant of, "fuck white power-" A mqjor brawl ensued between the Nazis and the S.H.A.R.P.s resulting in one of the Nazis gefting stabbed. At that point, the police were called in and the tear gas was deployed.

The news was shocking and frustrating.

I have seen Nazis come to shows to cause trouble before. This time, they broke up a show I traveled almost 3,000 miles to see, and I was oissed.

I also heard stories that wbile people were kying to leave the even! they were be. ing bealen by the cops. I was now happed backstage.

Helicopters circled over the arena and were met with hundreds of middle ffngers raised up toward the sky.-.At the time, I didn't undentand why so marry helicop ters were circling over the area. Little to my

knowledge, a violent riot had spilled into the streetsof San Bemardino, Calif, Amid the chaos, there were a few moments of pure bliss when I stood shoulder to shoulder with my idol, Monkey, the lead singer of The Adicts. We spoke long enough for me to become entranced bv his thick cockney accert and have somebnr take a quick srapshot of me with a punk legend.

Feeling more than satisffedafter my chat with Monken and with the danger of nmning out of cigarettes looming, we decided to tr/ to lclave. Once we walked into the parking lot we were met by droves of police, some infirll riot gear, Siting next to the cops was the most pathetc police car I have ever seen. Every light and window was broken ou! the sides of the body had been kicked in, even the hood of the car was severely dented.

On the way back to our hotel room we met one of the rioters. He had a video camera with him and.he showed me the chaos he had caught on tape, including the same police car I had seen,except it was swarming with punls. They ripped off their bondage gear and shrdded belb and were thrashing the car with them. The denb in the sides of the car were from steeltoed boots pounding the body of the car. It was arf awesomesight to see police being ovem.rn by punks.

The next day, we taveled back to the scene of the'riol There was aJack in the Box acrossthe sheet from the venue. Every window was shattered and the drive-tlrru was comptetely torn apa.rt.

Two police caxswere destroyed and four cops rere iniured. About 1.500 riotbrs had ovemm the itrees and left San Bemardino in a state of emergency.

Seeing the aftemath of the riot left me with mixed emotions. I felt bad for the local businesses,but I also had a sb:angesenseof pride knowing ihe prmks had fought both the police and the Nazis in one night and won.

Zooey Pique-Niqile et Jeu:r Dans L'Eau B-yCory Casciato casciato@mscd.edu There's a chance that Iistening to Ptqtuni4ue et Jeux Dans L'eau by Tnoey is a crime, or at least dangerously unpafriotic.

In light of the decisive "freedom fries" action Congress took to remove the insidious Gallic influence on Americq it's hard to believe French pop isn't banned by a line in the Patiot Act or a seciet executive order of some sort That would be a shame.because Znoey (aka Matthieu Beck of Bordeaux, France) is a genuine pop gem in the rough.

Tnoey creates space-age bachelor-pad music out of warm syn*s, chill beats and lots of studio kicks, much like their betbr-

known counkymen Air. Unlike the polished inhumanly precise and sterile music of Air, Zooey's goovy pop workouts retain a few rough edges. The shimmering pulses of robotic sequencersshare spacewith nearly b:neless vocals. The clean production is offset by the occasional interjection of random burss of noise. The cool, detached mood is relieved by the goo$ lyrics. Those elements replace perfection with penonality and go a long way toward humanizing Zooey's sound.

The album start off sbong with "Weeke.nd," a track fr:ll of'clicking percussion, fullbodied square wave tDnes and processed, pitch-bent guitar. Beck's nasal voice and accented English rnight ruin the deal for some, but the chorus will make a believer out of anyone who makes it that far.

Other standoub include "Easy Land ing," a propulsive instrumental built arormd a shimmering arpeggiared rifi reminiscent of IGaftwerk's 'TransEurope Express" and interlocking layers of chirping sine waves, a fat, buzing beast of a pad and spiraling, , fflter-swept synthesizermadness.

"Suddenly Ids Spring on Beaver Island" sounds like early Autechre channeling the spirit of Serge Gainsbourg. In other words, it's wisfi, seductive pop with shifting, minor key melodies and a French vocal (the only one on the album) that sounds dirty, even if it isn't.

Despite a fairly limited palette, Tnoey keeps things from geting too repetitive by keeping the songs short and by throwing in the occasional instrumental back to varv things up. A cover of Weezer's"You Cavi Your Love to Me Softly" offers an easy entry point for anyone who ever wondered what Rivers Cuomo might have cbme up with in an altemate universe where disco never died and Giorgio Moroder oubold Led Zeppelin.

With its quirky blend of Continental cool, glitchy synth-pop and indieslacker. vo cals,Zooey's Piqut-ni4ue et Jeux Dans L'eau is worth checking out, despite the risk of being questioned by Homeland Security for downloading iL

Media manipulationkilling purepunk SARAH CONWAY sconqtal@msal"e.du The progression of punk rock went terribly awry at some poinL A genre once underground, mysterious and shared among fiiends through mix tapes, has become more about the eyeliner than the heart more about nends {han progress and more about who vou know than what vou know.

It has become rehash and the media is shedding light on a genre that was once the enigmatic minority.

Is it safe to say the media is "ruining' the scene?Perhaps. Certalnly, what started as a handfi:l of artistic, politically driven bands that could care less if they made it onto TRL, has become a scene saturated with shallow-minded scenestershypnotized

by MTV. Fashion trends haye made it OK to cdl a bunch of self-proclaimed "musicians" .with some makeup on and a few ties around their necks, "punk rock." Maybe it sjust me, but I thought it was about the music.

"I think that we a.sa society question our existence and purpose, but the ctrrrent music scene doem't reflect that " said Alison Powelt a sales representafive on the Vans Warped Tour. There are a lot of thoughfi , socially consciousmusical entities, but that's just not what's popular right now. The current trend is an extsemely bland. watered down versibn of bands ulittg fashion as a way to get their music heard, and I think that's irreqponsible.

Of course, thefe's alwap the technological side of things. Some may say that buying music online is a detiment to the intâ&#x201A;Źgrity of music, while others view it as the source of iheir musical identity. Through the lnter-

ne! we have the power to lazily t)?e in a search for the larest top l0 lisb and have them sent right to our desktops to tell us what to listen to. BuL it seenu we have lost the tenacity and the p'erseveranceto go out and decide for ounelves what "good" music is. We have lost the drive to do a litrle diggn8.

"TV and radio have had a huge part in depicting what should be accepted as good music," said 24-year-oldBrad Schmitt, a life long fan of punk rock. *The music industry looks for a certain sound that happens to be popular, the record labels pick up on this and they go out and sigr as many bands that have this sound as possible. Those who listen to music just because it's there, not because it means something to them, don't really care how revolutionary a band is."

Unforhmateln the convenience of the Intemet has inadvertently created laziness.

Typing in a few key search criterion has be come more appealing than going out to an achral record store, talking to an actral person, feeling the smoodr, rmopened plastic wrapping sfick to your palm and Lnowing thai there's (at minimum) an hour and a half that needs to be set aside to get 0oknow the achral people behind dre projecl That lazinessis subsequentlyreflected in the bands people choose to listen to. People just aren't up for a challenge anymore. They would radrer listen to what's familiar -at and universal, not what's ch-gtrg. or least challenging their beliefs.

"Call me an ehtist, but I think that music should challenge or at least reflect social change instead of sticking to popdriven songs about girls and broken hearts," Powell said.

If it's too deep or philosophical, it's just not worth the effort to take the tlme to understand iL "I think there are bands out there that are just too intelligent and too diverse for people to grasp," said Ast ey Dechter at Complete Control Radio. "Thrice is the prime example. They don't push the bar, they set the bar. And for kids that just seems too hard to swallow. The time signatues, the lyrics, the inslrmentation, its just seems

to be too much. It takes a litde work to firlly understand what their music is about and people just dont want to put the time or effort in."

Whether the efiort is there or not, bands that even require effort are few and far be tween. And while the m4iority of kids can't seem to scratch the idea that popular equals good, those who have, 5rvg rnanaged to maintain the ideology that was deffnitive of

'Runners sofeofter sweep Metro takesfour against St. Cloud

By Eric Lansing lansing@mscd.edu Those who decided to calch the men's basketball games instead of Roadrunner baseball missed an exciting weekend of wild ffnishes and bigtime performances, as Metro swept Sr Cloud Stale University (Minn.) at Auraria Field.

Mebo began the fourgame seriesag'ainst the Huskies with a back-and-forth batle in garneone that included eight lead changes.

The 'Runners were down 7-5 in the bor tom of the seventh innjng, of what was intended to be a seven inning game. Senior Mike Hoefs and sophomoreJake Palmer hit backto-back home runs to tie the game at seven apiece.Becausethe inning ended in a tie, the girme was changed to a firll nine innings.

Sr Cloud State scored two runs in the eightl inning and one in the ninth to take a 1G7 lead. But after starting the seasonO6, the Roadrunners played with deteminafion, and used some bottom-ofthe-ninth heroics to lift themselvesto their first win.

With two outs and the bases full of Roadnrnners, Hoefs stepped to the plate with five hits, two home runs, and two RBI already in the game. On the ffrst pitch, the fint basemantook Huskies freshman pitcher Pat De La Hunt deep over the wall for a grand slam and an 1ll0 win for Meho's ffrst of the year.

"We had to work really hard and we had a bit hit (Hoe6' grand slam)," head coach Vince Porreco said about gefiing the team's ffrst win. "And that's what we need is big hits and big pitches in certain sifirations and to play consistentbaseball."

Hoefs, who had three hits and six RBI in game two, helped Metro 0o ib second victory. The game was never close. The Roadrunners put up nine runs in the third inning, including another grand slam from Hoefs. Junior pitcher Braden Ham pitched a complete game and struck out six Huskies to help Meho win 14L3.

"It's a good indicaior of how the pirchen are playing," Ham said on getting those first wins of the season,'We're playing the way we thought we would and we need to come at them (opposing battem) and I think its time to roll.n Meiro finished the sweeo of Sr Cloud state by beating the Huskies in games three and four by scoresof 3l and lO6 respect-

tully Game tlree feahrred a pitching gem from sophomore Josh Eckert who gave up only one run and pitched a complete game to register the win. A.lso, freshman Dakota Nahm got his ffrst hit of his collegiate career by hiting a 2-run homer over the left field wall.

Game four saw Metro in need of another lategame rally. Hoefs came through wiih his third grand slam of the series. He gave the Roadrunners a l0{ lead that held through the end.

"I was just glad I could help the team win," Hoefs said regarding his 17 RBI on the weekend,"I haven't lived up to my pG tential yet and I hope this kick-startsiL" Porreco made note that Hoefs is the goto guy on the team, but hopes the rest of the 'Runners understand that they cannot expect him to hit like that every time.

"We have yet to play all t}ree aspecs of the game altogether yel" Porreco said on whether we have seen the potential of what his team can do. "And if'we do thal we are going to be a very good team. And we are still working ald our guys are coming around offensively and the pitching is step ping up."

Metro takes its four game wiruring streak on the road next week at Fort Hays State University to begin Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference play.

I soent Mondav with a monumental toothaihe. The kind of tla.t leaves a grown man slackjawed, drooling and mumbling curse words at nobody in padicular.

I was worf essall day and left the office that evening having accomplished nothing productive whatsoever. I stopped on my way home for something soft for dinner.

Slowly gumming my way through some beans and Spanish rice, I saw something on the TV that made me put down my fork.

Kirby Pucket was dead of a stroke at the ase of 45.

R]ckett was loved by a mass of fans. But he was special to me for multiple reasons.

As a kid from Pittsburgh, I was bom a Pirates fan. The Pirates have won four World Seriesand made a strong bid in the National League Championship Series three times in '90s. but each time to no avail. the earlv ' So, occasionally, my heart wandered over to the American League and those mighty Minnesota Twins.

Guys like Puckeu, Danny Gladden, Kent Ilrbelq Greg Gagne, Dave Winffeld, Frank Mola, Don Baylor and Jack Monis (whal a fork ball ihat guy had!) made the Hubert H. Humphrey Mebodome the brightest diamond in baseball's sky.

Behind only Brate centerffelder An.ly Van Slyke, Pucke& was my favorite pla; er to watchlJltimately, Puckes was the supreme underdog. At ffve foot eight inches, Pucketrvas small in stature but large at hearL Puckett played with intensity and instincl He played with a radlatlng, brighg white smile that lit up the ffeld and fans alike. He was a hunter tracking balls in the oudeld and a marlismen ffring doubles from the olate. ln a time when free agency ran amok and players hastily hopped fences for greener pashrres,Pu&ett spent his career speedily grazing Minnesota's bright green asboturf.

I wakhed Frckett as one might watch a painter. Shoke by stroke he created a pictr:re of perfection.

I saw Puckett win two World Series, in 1987 and 1991. The lauer is arguably the most exciting Series ever, with the Twins going into game six down 32. With a leap ing catch in tle eightl inning and a walkoff homerun in the bottom of the 116, Puckea won the game nearly singlehandedly.

In 1997,I took a job as a spor8writer in Meadville. Pennwlvania. After six months of covering high- school sports and bowling leagues,my editor came !o me and told me to write my ffnt editorid. It was the day Puckes retired; I wrote one of my finest pieces to dare, calling him "the last loyal man in baseball."

So tonight, Lwrite again. This time, wi*r a much heavier hearL I sit on a barstool, nursing a beer and watching Pucke6's tridrIEhb on ESPN. I know baseball will never be the same.

Thanks for the memories, Kirby, And know tha, tonight I go !o bed widr both a toothache and a heartache.

After watching Metro lose to the Univenity of Nebraska-Keamey in the RocLT Mountain Athletic Conference Championship, one thing stuck with me on the drive home from Pueblo.

It rvasn't so much what happened in the 'Runners defea! but something Lopers ce head coach Tom Kropp said in the news conference afterward. .flhe Roadrunners are) the team we t:v to emulate with our program," Kropp said.

That came from the nan Sptrts Illrctraled rated one of the topl0 greatest sport celebrities in Nebraska- ln 16 vears as a coach, Kropp has compiled a 349127 r* cord and has built a reputation as one of the premier basketball coaches in college basketball. When he was still an athlete, both the Pittsburgh Steelersand the Denver Nuggets drafted him.

Regardless of his accomplishments, Kropp showed a great deal of respect for Metro head coarh Mke Dunlap and the Roadrururers. He credited Metro as a model program in NCAA Division tr basketball.

The rivalry between Metro and Nebraska-Kearney isn't one of hahed. It is, instead, a rivalry of mutual esteembetrveen two storied basketbail prograrns.

In the nine years since Dunlap began coaching Meho, ihe Roadrunners have been the tearn to beaL As an underdog in the RMAC Shootout this vear. the Roadrunnen defended their conference title admirably. Metro began the seasonvr'ith nine new players on the roster.

"This is supposed to be a rebuilding year for Meho," broadcaster Irv Brown said during the RMAC tide game. "They weren't supposedto be here."

People said that all season,but the 'Rrmners never listened.

Instead, Mebo won 18 of 23 gamessince Dec. 16. The Roadnrnners unset No. 5 Fort Hays State Universiry in a David w. Goliatli conference semiinal, and exposed the Tigers as the Dtr equivalent of the Indianapolis Cols.

No malter how Metro fares in the uc coming NCAA Regional, one thing will remain true: the Roadrunners are one of the most professional programs in amateur sports.

I've watched the 'Rururers plav for the past three years. This *r. -y 6ttt y"watching them as a reporter. At the beginning of the season, I was, to say the leasl intimidated by the prospect.

Now that the regular seasonis over and the Roadn:nners are in the tournamenl I feel privileged to have watched nearly every game.

The same goes for Metro's women's team. Though the women Lopers cut their season shor! nothing can take away from the fact that the Roadrunners had another skong season.

Women's basketball in the RMAC has deeper issuesthan its fferce competition. It's often the team that fnishes with the fewest bruises that wins a game. That s why teams Iike Regis Univenity are allowed to muscle their v/ay to victory.

Meho struggled to make shots in the opening minutes, and allowed NebraskaKeamey to take a 1G0 lead in the 6rst ffve rninutes of play. fualn, the Roadrunners were forced to make up ground on their opponent. Metro went on a 22-12run following the early scoring lapse and ued the game with a reverse dunk frorn senior Dorian Smith with 1:36 left in the half.

"Dorian Smith sbpped up huge today, he was a kev factor for us." Williamson said after the game.

Even though Meho only shot 30 percent in the ffrst half. the teams went into halftime fed at 24.

The'Runnen and lopen fought through eight ties and 11 lead changes down the stretch in the second half.

Williamson suffered an injury ffve minutes into the second, and the 'Runners were forced to play without him for parts of the half. Despite his mjury, Metro's offense picked up its biggest lead of the game, 4G 4 1 , at 11: 10.

The persistentIopen followed with a 14

6 run capped by a threepointer from guard Mck Monell to take the lead for good with 5:19remaining.

Metro stuck with Nebraska-Keamey through the end, but the lopers' defense prevented a Muth desperation threepointer as time expired.

Nebraska-Keameyeamed is first RMAC Shootouttide since 1998.

"There isn't a:rybody in our league I have more respect for than Keamey,' Dunlao ' said. 'Runners ofiense was led by 19 The poinb Iiom Bahl. lvluth scored 11, and Smith earned 13. FreshmanJesse Wagstaff went five-for-sevenand added 14 ooints.

Meto earned its ninth consecutive NCAA Regional bid, which begins at l1 a-m. (MST) on March 1l in Winona" Minn.

'We're anxious for the NCAA bid," Dunlao said. "For us to be able to lock and Ioad, ind do what we do, iCs easy because we're excited for the opporhrnity.'

By Nic Thcinas tacinas@mscd.edu

Greg Muth is an rmsung hero that embodies Meto basketball. He has fought through screens and picks for the last fdur years, overcoming adversity with every bormce of the ball.

The guard is one of many unheralded stories at the school, Coming from a shong family that instilled fierce determinafion, Muth earned the position of captain of the 2m52006 Roadrunnen, and he did it without a scholarship tluough hi5 first two seasolls.

He became one of the best playen Met'ro has seen in recmt memory.

When Muth first carne to Metro, the basketball team had just captred the 2002 national championship. Not highly recruife4 his bve for basketball never waned. A two{port a6lete in high school, he was also a member of Hdorado High Schoofs state charnpionship tearn Visiting his arm! who lives in Denver, Mu& agreed to Ey out for the 'Rurmers. Ai ter the tyou! head coach Mike Dunlap told him drat if he were to walk on. he'd have a . spot on tbe team.

"Coach D was nice enough to give me &e opporh.rnity and he saw something in rne and he decided to push me to see how much he could get out of me," Muth saidMuth played sparlngly his freshman yea and averaged about one point and one rebound per garne.

"Dunlap brings an intensity second to none and it was a litle overwhelrning my ffrst year,' Mfi said.

The transition from high school to col. lege was tough for Muth. He went from being a star at F,ldorado, to an anonlnirous numbet on the team.

"Greg has been particularly good at not ruining yesterday a4d not looking too far ahead and taking advantage of the day," Dunlap said.

Throu$ all his trials, Muth was discouraged but nwer complacent witb his role on lhe tean. At times, he doubted his athletic abllity at the more competitive national level. . "I got more comfortable with the system and frorn that point on, I kind of let go of drat doubt and knew I could do it" Muth ' said i He saw how hard players like Patrick Mutombo and Clayton Sririth wor*ed, and what was expecbd of starten, Muth knew he w'anted b be a part of that work ethic.
