stipend budget affects state rnstrtutrons

By Heather Embrey hembrq@mscd.edu On Monday, March 27, Govemor Owens signed Colorado's ffrst statewide smoke fiee bill into law, entering Colorado into the ranks of other smokefree statessuch as Delaware, Florida, Washington, New York and Massachusetb.

Colorado is Ere lSth state to enact a starewide srnoke-free wor\rlace law, and ulder the bill's provisions smoking will not be allowed in bars, restauranb and most wor\rlaces.

There are notable exemptioru that include casinos, cigar bars and the smoking lormges at DIA. Smoking will also be a! lowed in limousines under priwate hire, outdoor areas of any business, such as patios, tobacco shops and private homes.

Colorado Sen. Dan Grossuran. who sponsored the blll, felt the exemptions were necessaxyin order for the bill to pass.

Iocal radio personality and I(BPI Locker Room show hmt Maxc Stout is indifferent about ihe new bill. By being a nonsmoker, he said he is happy restauranb and ban wil now be snoke free. However. his t'irlfripn'l is a moker and by hinderingb*g f*IJ to smoke, lhere may be conflict By working with the Denver rock station for selreral years, he said he has come to 'n' ffrid that smoking and rock roll go hand

infund.

"We do a lot of radio promotions in small bars like Eck's Saloon. These people smoke, drink and listen to rock 'n' roll. I don't think that trey will change their way of life bes2use 6f this ban. but I do know there is a corurection between dre two,' Stout said.

He believes that, for his listeners, eight out of every l0 people who frequent the bars are smokers. He said he does not believe the baalindustry will be a.ffectedby this blll. rIt's hard to say if they will be affected.

I'm sure people rilll still'drink there even

though they can't light up right a.tthe bar," he said.

The American Lung Association of Colo rado, along with other individuals who have worked hard for many years to make Colorado's workplaces srnoke.free,celebrated.

"Although deatls from tobacco are not always as obvious as those from an earthquake or a flood or a plague," CEO of the American Irrng Association of Colorado Curt Huber said. "there can be no doubt that many lives were saved today." i'h; l;i:tc :iudens sard thjs bill will adversely affect them as thev are srnokers and feel'their riglrs have been taken away.

Smoker, and Meho Strdent Julie Rau said she enjgrs bar-hopping on the weekends, and now feels that she is hindered to visit only the bars with patios.

"I like !o smoke while I drink as do mv friends. When we are forced to only go to bars with patios, it makes me feel isolated,' she said.

Me*o StudentJesse Chandler has been smoking for several years. However, her argument against the bill came from another source.

"I smoke, but I'm glad that they put this ban into effecl My only disagreementwith it is that they should have created a choice for restauranb and bars. The bill should have allowed certain restauranb and bars to choose

whether or not they wanted to become smoke free," she said. "I don't like smelling like smoke when I get home from a night of drinking, so it is nice that trey decided to make them a.llsmoke free."

Jarnes kice, a sewer at the Old Chicago restaurant in Arv-ada was pleased with the bill, but at the same time worried that regtrlars might not frequent as often.

"I wait mosdy in the bar, and that is where our smoking area is. When ou regu lar customen ha-r,et0 y. ci C'J pA[i, -lii,-i, is not that large, they might not come here as often," Price said. uThose regulars are usually the bigest tippers."

Now that the law has passe!,. Colorado buinesses will need to malie changesbefore it takes effectJuly l.

Businesseswill be spending more money expanding their outside smoking areas to keep existing customers, as well as attract new ones. hice said he is sure to see a change in the size of their patio as the oftcial date nears.

"I don't think business will suffer that much,' said Metro student Cody Broussard.

"If the regulars can't smoke in their farniliar bar, iCsnot like they can just walk down the sheet into the next bar. They will all have the same rules."

Colorado House BilI 1385, which contains the stae's budge! including appro priations for dre College Opporhrnity Fund, passedin the Hodse Thtrsday, March 30.

Meto Surdent Govemment Assemblv hesidentJack Wylie spent many dap duiing Metro's spring break at the state Capi tol with Capstone, Metro's lobbying group, making sure legislarors knew how much Mefo needed an increase in COF. The budget allows for $2,580 per surdent per 30 credit hours for an e$imated 124,302eligible firll-time shrdents attending stale in$itutions.

rights Anfi-obortioil, obortion

By GenevieveSchlosser schlosse@mscd.edu Some seeJustice for All as a crude and insensitive organizatior\ but that is not the way it seesitself.

The nonpmfft organizarioq started by ex-pastorDavid ke in the 1900s,bavels the counuy displaying huge, graphic pictres of aborted fearses on college carnpuseswhen invited by studenb.

Four Auraria shrdentsformed an organization last year in order to invite Justice for All to &e campus. Each of them qpent time vohmteering at the disptay and volunteers from Focus on the Family came to help.

'There was some hosdlity," said current club secreta.qfFlizabeth Baker, in regard to people who would occasionallywalk by and shout angry things.

'The point is not to get in an a{gument with thern" but to divert that hostility into a discussion" about people's views and ideas about abortion, Baker said.

"I think a lot of people dorft know exactly r,r'hatabortion entails,oBaker said.

Justice for All believes if people see the realities of abortion and begin discussingthe issue and asking questions, it may change opinions and save lives.

The billboards and volunteers provide informalion about the alternatives to abortion, if shdenb are able to get past what may be perceived as distrblng lmages.

"Maybe there is a woman who is thinking about having an abortion, and, if she seeswhat ids really abou! she might change her mind and stad looking for a family to adopt her baby," Baker said.

When Justice for All was at Auraria at the end of September, the club provided "Free Speech Walls" for passing studenb to write on. People expresse'dopinions from all over the speckum: from anger" to agreement to other political issues.

'People may not want to come up and say something, but they will write what they think " Baker said.

Justice for All can only visit dre same campus once every year and a half. The curent president and vice president of the Auraria club that organized the past visit will be graduated and gone by the next time the organization is allowed to return.

The Auraria chapter of Justice for All are currendy rearranging and looking for new members. Baker will still be here and she plans to be involved "Urforhrnately," she said, "the tuth can be graphic sometimes."

NARAL ho{hoice Auraria tries to be active on canpus in positive ways, partici pafing in as many evenb that deal with the health and safety of women and the right to choose as possible.

"When Justice for All came (to campus in the full) *itlt their giant posters of aborted fehrses, we countered them," said Natasha Lamoreux, NARAL Auraria club president.

"Groups tike that thrive on conflict and confrontation," Ia.moreux said, so NARAL Auraria decided not to tive it to them. Instead of throwing a counter demonsbation, they stationed club members around campus wearing T-shifis that said things like " A$gf to draw people to them.

They carried clipboards that studenb could sign to show their interest in geting involved in groups that oppose organizations likeJustice for AlL Responsewas stong, according to Lamoreux, because many women on carnpus were upset and raurnatized by the display.

Currendy, the club is focusing on the Prevention First carnpaign being run by NARAL hoChoice America. According to lamoreur, 50 percent of unintended pregnancies end in abortion.

The purpose of the campaign is to help prevent abortion by preventing rmplanned pregnancies through educafion and easier accessto birth conhol and emergency contaception.

The group also attempts to get information out to people about legislation relatjng to abortion rights on both state and national levels.

The focus is on Colorado House Bill 1212,which would allow pharmacists to dispense emergency conhaception without a prescriptionfrom a doctor.

Although *ris is only the first year NARAL koChoice has been active on Aurari4 ftey already have a list of 33 people who participate in the club lamoreux herself helped to start Lannoreux has been vohmteering off and on for NARAL since she was in middle school and she recendy interned for them, which sparked her decision to bring a chap ter of the organization to Auraria.

And it was hilarious from sta.rtto finish. Howerer, one of my sbaight friends, recently, took ofrerse to my flarning faggoky.

"Nic, god damn it (sic), why do you have to be such a homo? I understand the gay thing but quit being such a ... flamer," he wrote me.

My responsewent a lide something like this: "Augie, god damn it (sic), why do you have to be such a breeder? I understand the staight thing but quit being such a ... Ne anderdral."

We[ iust the other night, much to Augie's dismay, I fflled out another *lrvey and came :rcrossthis question: "(What is your) current hate?"

And without blinking an eye, I answered: "Breeders."

As a photojoumalisg you constandy have to have your eye open and your ffnger on the higger. A great photo ioumalism instructor once said a camera -does not make pictures with the lens cap on, but sometimesit does and we miss.

Sometimeswe miss the shot The referee walks in front of the lens, a telephone pole appears to skewer a zubjec! you are out of focus. a flash does not ffre. and sometimes you are "LC.E.-ing" (in camera editing) when you should be shooting.

The truth is, we don't always capture the momenL Sometimes we miss. For as many times as a photographer caphrres a compelling image there are a greater amount of non-compelling images. Some photographers will spend the rest of their lives t}inking about the pichre they did not make. Not only is it creatively unhealthy, it is pointless.

When it comes !o editing the photo is there or it is noL lt's that simple.

If you did not get the pichue, move on. leam from your mistakes and make up for missing the shot with the next one, Don't spend your time dfnking about what you could have done, Chances are. if vou are worried about missing the shoi yo:u probablv alreadv have.

Gays need space from breeders Continued from 8 Luckily for me, the breeders were kept in the basement with the beer while the ga),swere upstairs with the hard liquor, and righdy so.

The only thing more right would be a world where I didn't have to worry about a few straight guys coming into a gay club to make fun of my friends and me.

You see, for about a month now, a group of staight gqs have been frequenting Tracks on kiddy night. I think one of them has a girlfiiend. As for the others, well, as my friend Mr. EuroTrash said, "I guessthey couldn't get a girl at the sb:aightclubs."

So they corne and make fools of themselves.They attempt to dance and ty and make hm of us 'rnos. Once, one of the looks like a Beade done up by Kevin Federline's stylist-carne up behind me and started to fauxdance. He dld that to a handfirl of other gays th"t I almost decked him, but"iCht I would have broken a nail. And people like him iust aren't worih thal As a gay man, I embrace divenity. After all, what kind of a world would we live in if we only had bars that served beer?

Divenity is perhaps one of the most important aspects of our life. Think of all the colors in the rainbow. Each red, orange, violel brings something more to our world.

And while together, they are magniffcenl each color stands bv itself.

We have to respect each other's lives.

We have to respect other people's humor.

We have to respect other people's space, And we have to respect other people's dance moves.

I never question my staigtrt friends. I play along when they talk about what chicls they want to bang. ld never kiss another boy in a sbaight club-unless, of course, there was a lot of vodka involved. And I would nweq ever, harass anyone for their dance skills, or lack thereof.

But stjll, I get flack So I must a$rm, because I respect mpelf, staght people in gay places dont belong.Just like vodka and MySpace can't coexist safely.

So, here is a rnessageto all you breeders: respâ&#x201A;Źct rn;rdisco ball.

Sweat courses the brow of one of the men. His hands are clammy, nerves afre.

The others grunt and groan with the efrort of scaling the fortess. They do not speak.Each knows his mission, each knows ib risks.

A woman loses her grip. She grabs blindly at the rope, but to no avail. She

One of the men reaches the top far ahead of the others. Through the barbedwire fence he sees the promised land. A lusb, greeq well manicrned ffeld stetches out under a firll moon, empty sealsabound.

He imagines he can smell the hot dogs, taste the beer, peanub and Cracker Jack. In his head he hears the crack of the bat, the roar of the crowd, the call of the umpire. The others hear it as we[ they seei! they smell i! and so, they climb.

After all seven reach the top, the first to arrive takes a bolt-cutter from his pack and cub the thick wire that separatesthe outside. that dismal, hopeless,and foreboding place, from the inside, where, just over 12 hours from now, America's pastime will open yet anothen glorious seasonrmder the sun and stars.

'BodyWbrlds 2' spotlights in-depth view of human body

By Nicole Queen nqueen@mscd.edu wondered what your bodv looks like on the inside? Ever wondered what it's like T.lver fi to hang out with de;d people'and not be corirpletely freaked out?

-l',-lsurâ&#x201A;Ź, we've all seen pichues in textbooks and the analomy shows on TV. Some of us have maybe even encountered a dead body accompanied by the creepy, stomach.tuming smell of formaldehyde.

Now, you can experience all of this-minus the smell of formaldehyde-at the fascinating new exhibit at the Denver Museum of Nanre and Science, which will satisf your curiosity for the human body, get you up close to the human stsuctue and allow you to really examine what makes us, well, us.

German scientisl Gunther von Hagens, intoduces Denver to 'Body Worlds 2,' another dimeruion of the human anatomy. His scienflffc breakthrough, which he calls "plastinatioq" halts the natrral process of the decomposition of cells and tissue.

The use of plastic for preservation is not a new idea---remember passing around the bloclcsof pla.*ic with iruecb or animal orgars in high school? Welt von Hagens has stepped it up a bit an4.hstead of surrormding the specimen with plastic, he has created a way to "i^pt"gt"t " each individual cell with plastic. This process replaces body flui&, preserving a realistic look to the orgarq while keeping it lightweight and moveable.

The "Body Worlds" exhibit is comprised of individual human organs from every syv tem-nervous, vascular, respiratory digestive and reproductive-as well as donated human bodies permanmdy posed in everyday human activities,such as playing soccer,baseball, ice skating, balle! siting, standing, etc.

After standing for an hour and a half in a line that wrapped around the upper level of the museum, entering the exhibit was a bit like enterihg a freak show. It is exciting, but unnewing. There's no way of knowing what one is going to see or whether it will be tolerable.

Since there were so mzmy people, the ventilation was poor and people milled arormd the ffrst room for about 15 minutes.

The fint room seemed to w and slowlv introduce the viewer to the exhibit with a displav of the 'run of the mill" skeleois and bon6s.

'It is very important that people axenot confronted with something that makes them feel insecure," von Hagens said.

In a caseon the wall was the entire preserved cenhal nervous sptem hanging on its body tsame, similar to a,string of fragile Christrnas lights. It was amazing to see how incredibly timeconsuming this must have been to create, only to realize later that this was only the beginning of the amazemenL Further on in the exhibig one is met with the strangely beautifirl "Flying Skier," forever in flight after executing a jump and leaving his skin behind to reveal his intact inner organs.

And from behind, one crur peer into his abdominal cavity to sâ&#x201A;Źe the inner workings of the bod/s complex systems.

Another amazing, yetbinte, display was the "X Lady," who seemed to have exploded from the inside ou! with layers of muscle peeled away to view her insides from wery angle.

What's so imDressiveabout these bodies is to think about the rnan-hours dedicated to each and euery 6ne, carefully positioned with the utsnost respect and admiration by von Hagens and his assistanb.

Not only are there firlly positioned bodies, there are also specific orgars in glaqscases placed sbategically throughout the exhiblt One may view the rnazn of a nasal cavity, the inside of a brain, the blackened lungs of a smoker, as well as the consequencesof cancer and tumors on individual organs.

The further one goes through the exhibit, the shanger things gel There is a room devoted entirely to fetal developmen! and while it may well-be the most controvenial display of the exhibit, it is one of the most fascinaling. One may observe the very beginning of an embryo and follow the stagesup to a developing baby in the 28s week of pregnancy.

A woman in her fifth month of pregnancy, with her womb firlly expostg fie baby withirL quiedy standsin 0re comer. This is a shocking, yet sb:rmingly beautifirl dedication to 0re beginning of human life.

While von Flagens has had his share of media hoopla and being called a freak and a sicko, his contributions to the study of anatomn biology, physiology and the education of the huma.n body surely would make past a$atomisb, like konardo di Vinci proud.

Considering his work to be "high craftsrnanshipin the tadition of the Renaissance,"Von Hagens' exhibit helps bring the reality of deadr and mortality to the forefront with the hope fiat people will become more comfortable with the idea"What is death, actually? Do we have to fear death? Do we have to like death? No. We have to come along with our own mortality,n von Hagens said.

Mewers of all agesstaredwith awe and utter interest at the displap. No one w.rs "grossed ou!" no one had a look of disgusl proving that this exhibit was done with tact and carefirl consideration for the viewer.

For the curious and 0re unsure, sh-rdentsof science and those who are simply interested, "Body Worlds" is a must{ee ventue into the observation and understanding of our own complex bodies.

"People should realize they are no bag of bones or muscles," Von Hagens states."The body is a thing of beauty.o "Body Worlds 2" runs tlroughJuly 23. It is higtrly recommended that tickeb be secured in advance,

"WaIE Moore" starb wid:, "I can't eat aiyfting witrout shoving my hands down my throat and I refirse to meet the world without smearing on make up...." I-ater Moore sings,"I'm staring at the minor looking back at the person I hate."

His angst lacks matrrity.

The guitar wort of Malt Good and Travis Richter is fastaaced and lively and makes the album a litde more bear-able.At times, it can be infemal and dismal sounding giving the albun a metal quality. ln 'The kvt' Moore goes silent for a long rnusical interlude, allowing Good and Richter to let loose and wail playfully. The ending allows the drummer, Derek Bloom, to ffnally be heard. His intense drum beab complement the guitars. Unfortmafely, d1ssnrling is only a tease.

While presy mudr all of the songs on the album axe annoying, the opening hack "Mothersound" is the worsl It has a gothic, grim sound to iL Moore shrielcsand whines, then breaks down in0o singing, *oh, ot\ oh" for probably 30 seconds. The guitars and bassare barely audiblq. and the drums don't match the thythym. Eventrally, the guitan kick in" bringing an '80s feel to the song, complete with a long wailing guihr solo.

"And We All llave a Hell" is one of the bener songs on the alburr The guitar solos excite the senses and the dnrm beds are danceablc. Moore's vocals are less sEident and everything seems to make sense.Lyrically, the song isn't padicularly strong, but it doesrt't pretend to be poâ&#x201A;Źtsy. It is sbaighdorward and clear cul Between the waillng, whining and screaning, the album lecls direc[on.

lopersfreezein'Runners' heudlight Metro goes4-1, reaches.500 at friendly confines B,vEric Lansing lansing@mscd.edu Metro baseball came into the series against Nebraska-Keamey looking to rebound after being swept by Mesa State the previous weekend. With a .!7 record in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference, the Roadrunners got some much-needed conference wins as they won tlree of the games against the Iopers last weekend, and followed them with a 7-3 win over Colorado School of Mines April 4 at Auraria Field.

"Anvtime vou ciur win a series from .o-"otri in th; RMAC, you've done well."

Metro head coach Vince Porreco said about

his tearn'sperformance this weekend. "They (Nebraska-Keamey) have had our number.

They beat us twice early on this year and then on Friday. So, to get three of four shows our guys played well this weekend."

The Lopers took game one and extended Meho's losing streak to five by a final score of lG4. After gr"irg up four runs to Nebraska-Kearney in the fourth inning, the Roadrunners charged back by scoring a single run in the fourth inning and a three spot in the sixth.

After sophomore Jake Palmer doubled and junior Alex Krohn singled, senior Randy Lashua tied the game at four by taking Lopen sophomore pitcher Seth Svoboda deep for a threerun homenrn. It was his ffrst long ball of the seasonafter a relatively slow start for the right fielder. Bug it proved to be the soark he needed as he went on to have arr eno.mous weekend for tlle 'Runners.

With the game knotred at four apiece, senior Ryan Bright gave up four more runs to the Iopen in the seventh inning. Junior Ryan Bucher began the irming by hitting a

solo homerun that opened the floodgatesfor three more runs in the seventhand two more in the eighdr. Svoboda logged his fourth win of the season (a2) as Bright lost his second in a row (3+) after gring up eight runs on thirteen hits in seven innings.

Meho ended the losing sheak in game two of the seriesby sophomoreJosh Eckert's great pitching and lashua's second homerun in two games.Eckerl who did not allow a single run through the first five innings, did not make it easy for himself as he had base mrurers in all but one inning.

After hising two consecutive balters, Eckert loaded the bases with a walk But Frkert stood strong and stuck out senior Rich Eber to exit the inning unscathed. Nebraska-Kearney finally got to Eckert as they managed four singles and another hit baisman in the sixth inning to score foui runs and tie the game at four. l,ashua changed that score by one swing of the bat as he took a l-2 pitch to deep left ffeld that gave Metro a .!4 lead and the eventual final score.

Lashua said the coacheslold him he was

swinging too hard at pitches and needed to patienl Porreco said Lashua is just relaxing a little bit more these daln and not trying to do so much.

Senior Mike Hoefr. who failed to ffnish the game in the series ffnale against Mesa State last week, got his first save of the season. Mebo used a six-run ffrst iming to outlast Nebraska Kearney 74 in game three.

After Hoefs' RBI on a ffelder's choice started the scoring, the basesbecame loaded for the mighty Randy Lashua, who singled in two nrns offjunior pikher lllpses Roque.

Freshman Dakota Nahm hit his thtud biple of the yeax, scoring two mnq and junior Kyle Christensen ffnished the ffrst inning scoring with a sacriffce fly that scored Nahm. Junior Braden Harn used the run suppod to win his fourrh game of the season and allowed only four mrs on eight hits while striking out four I-opers.

Junion Mark Mi.lner and Drew Machholz followed suit with another &3 doubles rictory.

'Doubles is all about chemistrv. and the longer you play with each other,'the more you leam about each other's shots," head coach Dave Alden said. "They're exploiting each other's sbengt}s and they're doing it well."

Meyer was the lone winner in singles play by a G2, G3 margin.

"It rvas good ro have that quick start against(CSU-Pueblo),"Nilsson said. "It was nice to get back up after playing Colorado College. lVe just kind of took care of business."

"It s a great way to set the tone for the rest of the season" Alden said.

Both Nfuson and Meyer and Milner and Machholz continued thea hot skeak in doubles play with back-to-bacb &4 and &0 $'ins, nFor us to be successfi. as a tearn you have to win two of three at doubles and thaCs the expectation we put forward," Alden said. "(Men's doubles) are not hoping to win anlrnore, they're expecting."

The doubles' victories give both duos ninematch streals in doubles competition.
