The Altematives Pregnancy Center at Auraria is a relatively unhown organization.

Auraria started thrce years ago. Studenb wto were voluteering at the Denverbranchdecided to bring servicesto ttre campus,sinceoueil iour womenwill encqunteraa unplannedpregnancy before the age of 18. About a year ago-after a lot of waiting-office space openedup in St. Elizabeth'sChurch,giving Bebberand her stafl a placeto set up. Howerrer,the spacecamewith somedrawbacks. It can be hard to locate,being tlat it is in a churchandis not highly visible to students. 'It wouldbe greatif we couldbein tle Tlvoli where everybodyconld see us, but that hasn't bappenedyet,' Bebbersaid. In an unofficialsurvey,Metro studentscommentedttrat APCwould fit in better at the Plaza building putting it closerto the healtl clinic. Unplannedpregnancycan be an awkward subjectto try to conmudcate, and seeinghow mary people have strong opinions a.bouttle subject,having tlose discussionsin a religious setting can causetension. 'We are an organizationwto just wants to walk with men and wonen tlrough ttre emotions that go with an unplannedpregnancy," Bebbersaid. In ottrer words, politics are left at tle door. Housing resources,nedical referrals, tee pregnancytesting, as well as counseling,are just some of the servicesprovided to anybody who asks. "Our pregna.ncytests are just like the ones you find in tle store,but tley are iree and about 98 percenteffective,"Bebbersaid. Sheand severalstudentvolutbers provide counsglingservices.The APC is a stualent-run organizationwith all studentvolunteers.

Studentvolunteersinterestedin tle services APC offers have a few ilifferent options.When first starting volunteersnay be asked to post $rcrs throughout ttre campusto raise awarenessamongstrdents.

The newly educatedvolmteers are requiredto counselfor four hours a week tlroughout tle schoolyear. Along witl counselingtley provideinformation,about STDs,pregnancychoiceand nedical referrals. Pamphletson dll related subjects,as well as basicinformation,are alwaysavailable. "None of us here are (professional)tlerapists," Bebber said. "\tr/ewont tm anybody awalr A woman's life is more inportant tlaa anythingelse." Bebberis ttre only one present during the summer,but rrore volunteerswill start showing up aroundthe start of tle fall semester. Walk-in hoursfor aly of the servicesoffered are 9 a.n. to I p.m. Werlnesdaysor by appointment from 8 a-n. to 4 p.m. on Montlays and Thursrlays.

The history of humanimmigrationis as old as, well, humaa history, Ever since the first hibes movedout of Africa and beganspreading tle roots of culture and comrnerce,peoplehave soughtto live, work and raise families i:r areas outsideof tleir homehrf.

This is a file and inevitabledevelopmentin t}te long term, but in the short term it is causing quite a few problems-not just here in the United States,but in everydevelopingregioni:r the world whereopportunitiesexist and oppression is minimal.Ald problems,from a political staldpoint, necessitatelegislation. . Here in t]re United States, in spite of national lawmakers' failure to reach an immigration re{orm compromise-or rather becauseof it-Colorado legislatorslast week actedquickly and (somewhat)decisively,allowing a vote to be put on tle upcomingballot tlat, if passed, would charge the state attorney general with fiLilg a lawsuit against the federal govemnent for failhg to enforcenational immigration1aws. This is certainly the boldest step any state has yet taken in addressingthe immigrationissueparticularly by recognizingthat inmigration enforcement. first andforemost.is a federalissue. The passageof what legislative leadersare calling the "toughest package of immigration laws in the county' introducedby an individual statewerc the result of a specialfive-daysession . convenedby Gov.Bill Owens.Alongwith the ballot measure,the Iegislaturealsovotedto require employersand state servicesto verify the legal status of applicants and employees,ald intro-

And proposed solutions to the problem, on both a national and a state level, are indicative of the timidity involved by lawnakers; even the recent Colorado measuressinply seek to enforcebans on activities that, ostensibly,were already illegal.

This gamestarts with the player choosbg a team to coach.After going through a:r hterview with said tean, the player is assignedcoaching statistics ranging from motivation to defensivelinemenknowledge.The player is then offered contracts from four different teams, including the teamthat conductedthe intervieq and is presentedwith a list of expecta. tions eachteam has for tJtenew season. I was hterviewed by Denver,but I signedwith the Detroit Lions becausetheir expectationswere muchlower (I had to win eight games)ard I was aftaid of leadingmy belovedBroncospoorly. The best part of the gameis the NFL Draft. After montls of scouting collegeatlletes, the player sits il t}te war roomand selectsthe best picks

AIro-Punk: the 'Rock and RolI Nigger'Experience Inage Entcrtainnrenl 66 minutes Dir. fanes Spooner

Oneof the mostvivid memoriesfrom my childhoodis stayingup late on Saturdaynights to watch television. On those nights a whole other world filled with videos fron Aerosmith, kd Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and AC/DCwas openedup to me. It was music that was different from what peopleil my neighborhoodlistened to, but I deeply identified with it. My family teasedme relentlessly,and I dicln'tdare tell alyone outsidemy family about my musicchoices.In nry neighborhood,rock was something only strung-outwhite kids listenedto. The documentaryAJro-Punh:the 'RochandRoll Nigger' Experimcedelves into tle subject of how somethingas sirnpleas the music a personlistens to can make tlem an outsider. The filrn explores the neglectedandisolatedexperienceof black punk rock. FiJ:lmakerJamesSpooner,a black punk hin self, followsfour youngildividuals as they navigate

a world in which tley are sparsely represented. lntersectedwitl tle mail characters' stories are dozensof otler i:rterviewsand ampleperformance footagefron someof the biggestblack punk ba:lds, including Bad Brains, Ten Grand and Cipher.The film can be overwhelmingat times, given tle run time is only a little over an hour. Howeve! /foPunft doeswell in giving tle viewer a good,basic understandingof a[ experiencettrat'swovenwithin the signiica.ntculhues of punk and A-frican-Anericans. Oneof the biggestcrines a musicdocumentary cal comnit is forgetti:rg that it's about tlre music ald that the soundtracki5 a5im.portantas the story beingtold. Onthe oppositeendare the glorifiedmusic videos with little substance.Afro-Punh avoids tlfs trap by balancingthe musicplayedtlroughout tlte film wittr narrative content. Anotler problem tlat can happen, especially il documentariestlat focus on African-America:rs in music,is they are overlly hip-hopinfluenced.No
