Ueho started ord 40 years ago as an affordalle commuter college for non-traditional shrdents,but over time ttre college'spopulatim has grownpunger. the most noticeablechange has occurrcdin tle last few yea:s. Accordingto Metrro'swrhsite &e nean ageof a typical Metro student in 2000 was 27; a year later, in 2001, the meanagewas 26. Becausethe Auraria cam-

pus continuesto appealto a youngercrowd, it has had to male changeslike ttre on-campus housing. Recenthigh school graduateEnily'Funke, who will start Meto this fall, was.,'happyto movein to CamlusViliage alongwith 150 other freshrnen. "It's close to home, it's brand new a:rd a lot nicer (tltan ottrer stu.denthousing)," Fuke said. Conparedto other studenthousingAuraria offers,suchas The Regencyand The Inn at Auraria, CampusVillage offers updatedamenities.

Supreme inlronsilion: Courl Chief Roberts ondhisilibe lnalysis Thefirst sessionof the U.S.SupremeCourt with ChiefJusticeJohnRobertsat its helmwas ar interestilg one.The court hadbeenstatic for periodin history 11 years,the secondJongest and all the media'stalk was about the imoend' ing consewativeswing. But t}te biggestchangewas JusticeAnthony Kemedy's emergenceas the new crucial swing vote. Kennefu's more visible role tlds session promptedmaly il tlte mediato name the new era 't}te Kemedy court.' Regarding"howtlle law of the land hasbeen changedby the Robertscourt," ttre Los Angeles Timessaid,'so far, not very much,"andthat 'the seismicshift dreadedby liberals ard dreamedof by conservativeshasn't occurred" During his nomjnation hearilgs, Roberts expressedan interest in erpalding the court's caseload,ruhich has dwindledrecently leaving many petitioners frustrated. To get an idea of how manycasesmakeit to the SupremeCourt, ttris time aroundit decidedonly 72 cases,a Low numbercompared to pastsessions. Robertshas also declaredhis desireto unite the court as much as possible;this sessionthe court'smembersagreedulanimously morethan half the time. But as Linda Greenhouseof The New York Times pointed out, "in the court's most significantnon-unanimouscases,Chief JusticeRobertswas in dissent almost as often as he was in t}te majority" This is an indication, Greenhouse said, of how it might be Roberts' coult.but he is not in control. Thoughit might not have madealy noticeabledifference, oneindicationof tJrecoud'spossible swing is that, accordingto The New York Times,thetwo newmembers, RobertsandA.lito, agreedwith eachother morethan any other pair ofjustices:9l percentof the timein nonunanimouscases. But the two a-lsodefinedthemselvesdiffer. ently from the court's doctrinaireconservatives, ClarenceThomas and Antonin Scalia. In two crucial casesRobertsald Alito distancedthemselvesfrom the pair's assertionsthat any Iimits on campaignfinalce were ulconstitutional, or that polidcal gerrymarderirgnever requires court intervention. Belowis a look at someof the morehighprofile casesthat camebeforethe court. Ilamdan v. Runsfelil. In a 5-3 decisionthat was the court'smost signifcant andmostwatched,the court declared t}re U.S.military couldnot proceedwith its tribuna-lagain5l a Gua:rtalamoprisoner because it ral contrary to the Uniform Codeof Military Justiceald t}te GenevaConventions.The ruling

The court said Congressmust enact laws that clearly defile the government'sapproachto ter, rorism.A weekafterthe rLrling,DavidS. Broder wrote il The Washi:rgtonPost, "0nce againthe chiefexecutivehad to be remindedthat he is not abovet}te law.Nomorethan the securitythreats Nixoninventedto justify his roguepolce state operationsrill the v'ar on terrorism relievethe presidentofthe burdenimposedby the Constitu tionto 'fait}fully executethe laws.'Hecan'tjust makethemup to suit his con\,enience." League of United Lafin .ilnsrin'n Sitizens v. Perry. Thoughthe court upheld,7-2, that redtstricting in Texaswas not on tJrewhole unconstitutional, it did declarethat one of the reapportioneddistrictswasin violationof the Voting Rights Act becauseit didn't allow Latilos fair representation.The court also a-ffirmedthat state legislatwescanredefinevoting districts as muchas tley wa:rt to, pavingtle way for futwe partisal bickerilg that might leavesornevoters voiceless;though theissueis sureto comebefore the court again.Anotler point the justices were clear on was that courts in generalshould not be il the businessof drawingup voting districts. "Gerqmralderingis not pretty," The Washington Timessaid,"but whereasDemocratssoughtto gain a shortsightedpartisan victory ttre court wisely choseto let the systembe."

Raadelrv. Sorrell. Votirig6-3 to not "repealthe First Amend. ment,"astheWallStreetJournal put it, the court declaredthat Vermont'slimits on carnpaiglfina:rchgandexpenditures wereunconstitutronal becausethey limited free speech.This ruling ma.kesit difficuit for any real campaignfinalce reformto be enactedwithout fundametallyaltering the Bill of Rights.As the Journalpointedout, "by rejectingVermont'sdraconianrestrictions,a Courtmajorityhas at leastconceded that some campaign-financelimits go too far in damaging iree-speechinterests. Limits on campaign spendilg in particular - as opposedto campaign donations- are increasingiysuspect.' 0n the otler hand, if the spendingof currenry qualifiesas speech,it seemsthat, languagebarriers aside, some of us will hevitably have a loudervoicethan others. Endson v. Michigan. In a 5-4 decision,the court stated that just policefail to'knock andartnounce'durbecause ing a searchof a suspect'shomedoesn'tmean collectedevidenceis inadmissiblein court. The decision seeminglyunderminesalready established citizen rights under the Fourth Amend. nent. "For those who worry that Chief Justice Robertsard Justice SamuelAlito will tal<ethe court in a radically conservativedirection,' The Nerr York Timessaid about the ruling, "it is sobering how easily the majority tossed aside a principletlat tracesbackto l3th-cenhry Britain, and a legaldoctrhe that datesto 1914,to let the government i:rvadepeople'shomes.' Iockhart v. United States. In a pertinentmling for studentloanrecipients, the court unanimouslyruled the federal governmenthad the right to tal<e15 percent of 65-year-oldJamesLockhart'sSocia-lSecuri{r checkbecausehe had rackedup moretlan $80,000in studentloandebtwhichhe hador,red to the federal govemmentfor more than 10 years.Lockhan,who represented himself,was unemployed and took out the loansin orderto attend school.Unfoftunately,he was neverable to get steady work to pay off the loans. The court's ruling shouldremind studentsthat if you ta.l{eout loansyou shouldpayt}lem back. It shouldalsoremindstudentsto neverrepresent themselves in front of the SupremeCourt. The court has maly controversial cases plamed for the next session,which beginsin 0ctobel and will rule on severaltough issues hcluding partial-birth aborlion, immigration, arti-trust laws, the TelecommunicationsAct, racial discrinhation il school districts, prison conditions,sexualdiscriminationand the Clean Air Act.
