Discussion offersideosfor peoce Studentsandprofessors voiceopinionson the conflict in the Mideast By losie f,Iemaier ildemaie@rnscd.erlu were offeredconA varietyof perspectives ceming conflicts il t}re Middle East and the cha:rceof tleir resolutionat "TheDeathof Hope a discussionhostedby Roband Compromise," Hazal Aug. ert on 30.

Hazal, the chair of Meko's political science department,said the event was valuableil allowing a discussionon the subjectoutsideof the cLassroom.

The main question for discussion at the event was, 'Does peacehave a chancein the Middle East?'

"The region is still trapped in a cycloneof violence, a ryclone of bloodshed,a cyclone of hatred," Hazan said durhg t}re introducdon of the discussion.

It may take $10-15billion to restore Lebanonto what it wasbeforethe destructioncaused by the recent war with Israel that begal this July,Hazansaid.

The t}ree-hour eventwas divided into two sessions.

At the begimhg of each session, Haza:r showeda portion oI Courage Along theDiuIde,a 1987film documenting the conflictbetweenIs' prior to the uprisLngs in raelisand Palestinians the occupied territoriesin 1987and 1988.

He then spokeabout tJle deeproots of the region'sconflict history 'lhe moviefor mewas a little bit difficult . .. partially becauseI think that this is an incredibly complexissue . . . In tlte past hundredsi{ not thousandsof years, there have been a tremendous numberof really horrible decisions,' said BenjaminKapnik, a Metro student. "It's importalt tlrat botl sides be recognized.It's a much larger issuethan it cal seem."

The modernshapeof the Middle East was created and mandatedby the British and tle Frenchin 1918after the end of WorldWar I, he said. Many Jews then beganto migrate to the areafrom Europe.

Thebordersand's,'hoshouldoccuovthe ]and

have been the core issuesspawnhg violence and war.

"Writethis downald don'tforgetit," Hazan said."TheJewslookedfor sa.fehavenin Lfuslim mled tenitories, Arab, Tirrkish, Muslimruledterritories.The cnmescomrnitted against the Jewswere crimes committedby the Europearls."

SpeakerandUCDpoliticalscienceprofessor Amin Kazak was born in Haifa and had made plansto visit the regionthis summerfor leisure andto bringhis studentsthereto leam.he said.

The day his flight was scheduledto leave the UnitedStates,the war betweenIsrael and Lebanonbegan.

'I livedwitl the mindsandsoulsof the people there," hesaid."My faith aboutthe peacewas really shaken about tlris war tlat (was) being conductedby tlte state of Israei with the blessing of this governmentof tlre UnitedStates...

Did I Iosemy faith aboutpeace?Never."

DaphneBra:rdt, a UCD international rela' tions rnajor, respondedto Kazak's comments, saying that tlere must be a distinction made betweenHezbollahand the Palestinials. 'You talk aboutthe war with Lebanon,but truly who startedthat war? ... Hezbollahis a Lebanese/ Syrianentity," shesaid.

Brandt said that Kaza-kshouldbe carefirl to show both sidesof the story when teachinghis classes,whichhe protested.

"Youdid not take my classes. . . no,I will not standfor that," Kazaksaid.

Brandt continued,"How do you seepeace comingto the MiddleEast when Hezbollahattacks Israel?"Brandt asked."TheArabs have been offered (lald) tine and time agail ... ald they continuouslyrefuse to take any offers . ..

The only reasonIsraeli troops are still il Gaza is becauseif they weren't tlere, there would be numerousattacks againstthe Israelis."

Near the discussion'send, Metro political scienceprofessor]im Colereferenceda quote from FrenchauthorAlexandreDumas'tnok The CountoJMonteCristo.

"At the end of the book tlere is tlis phrase ... which meanswait and hope ... We are goilg to haveto continueto wait ald continueto hope, becausewithout hope we are not alive.

The deathof hopeis the deathof humadty"

Children's con'lgrowup,hosto moveoul Zonng restrictions force moveto Aurora

By Megra Sheeslcy nshecde@nscd.cdn The Chiklren'sIlospital in Denverwill step forward by movingin fall 2007 to a new stateof-the-artfacility on the Fitzsimonscampusto continueits growingnetwork of pediatic health care services.

The current hospital, locatedat l9b Sheet and Park AvenueWest in Denver,is simply too small for a rapidly growingpopulation.

The city is packedfull of buildingsa:rd residentialneighborhoods, so tle optionsof expanding and building up were ruled out dueto zoning l,aws.

The Children'sHospital'sboard of directors chosethe FitzsimonsMedicalCentersite at 176 Street and East CollaxAvenuein Aurora for tle relocation of the hosltal's main crnpus. The new hospitalwill allow specialistsandresearchers to locate resourcesin a single location for tle first time.

Jerrod l[ilton, director of CampusTfansitions, hasbeenplanningtle relocationto a new facility since 2000. Milton, vrho has been witl The Chikhen's Hospitdl for 15 years and who bas a backgroundin clinical pharnacy and business,was chosento leadtle tansition between tle two hospitals.

"The environmentof ttre new hospital has been designedto be the most heeling, one-ofa-kind hospital for children, with ample nafural ligbting and opetrspacescreating a warm, conforting interior experience," Milton said.

"The artwork and interior designfulette chosen thmughouttle new facility will be nawelous, if

not captivating to experience.'

The new hospitalwill be one of tle region's most rnibrantand.technologicallyadvancedfacilities. ' The new facility will span over 1.44 million squarefeet. Amenitieswill include a kids-only area wit! wireless Intemet access,a chapel, additional room to accommodatea comfortable parent ovemight stay, launtlry fucilities and nany ottrerfamily ald patient amenities,including roomservice. \tit} less tlan 400 daysbeforetle new fucility opens,tlere is still plenty of work to be done.The hospital'smove-indate has been set tentatively for Sept. 30,2N7 .

potience Middle Essl solufion: Hope.

The belief in it givesus reasonto persevere tlrough the darkest times. The death of it is the tiumph of despairand the beqindng of the end.

It canbe hard to sustainhopein tle faceof sssminglyintractable problems,such as tlose of the Middle East. The region'shistory of violent conflict, failed peaceinitiatives and bitter divisionsoverttre most elementalissuesdoesnt encourageoptimism.

In tle aJtemath of the latest conflict, between Israel and Hezbollah, Metro hosted a seminarcalled"The Deathof Hopeand Conpromise: Does Peacehave a Cha:rcein tle Middle East?"Thetitle inplied despair,but the seminar gavesomerea$ns to havehope.

Dozensof peopleattendedoneor bottrof tle sessions,which ran from 8:30 a.m. to alnost noon,ffllingttre Tivoli Multicultural Lounge.

That so mary showed up to share ttreir thoughts and points of vierp was encouraging and inspiring. Sone spoke ir cool, amlytical terms, otlers in outbursts of passionateconviction. They spoke of personrl experienceand global politics, of humannature and tle nature of belief, of history's precedent and impact - from ancienttimes to vesterdav'snews.

Their diverse perspectivesillustrated the complexityof tle issues facing the region and of its importanceand impact on the world at Iarge.

Can peacebe forged in the Mid<lle East?

Severalspeakersrecalledtlnt just generations ago, peace and harmonybetween France and Gen:any seemedequally unthinkable. Today, tley enjoyeconomicandpolitical ties that make armedconflictbetweentlem almostas rrnlikely as armed conflict between Coloradoand Utah.

Others recalled tlat long before Germanya:rd Fra:rceovercametleir differences,Jews,Christians and Muslins lived in peacein ti.e same landstley now fight over.

There were few real solutions offered.The best practical advicecamefrom Meho political scienceprofessorJim Cole,in the form of his favorite quote ftom Alexanthe DlJ.mas'TheCount of MonteCristo:'Wait- and hope."

There's little else we can do here. half a world away from tle devastationof Lebalon, the misery of Gazaand ttre West Ba::k, and the terror Israel lives under.We wait, we hopeand we leam.

Moveover,Tir.keruKobayashi.There's a new sheriff in towtr.

Standingat five-feet-eighta1d 6ag-halfinches tall and weighing in at 175 pounds,I am the undisputedice-creameating championolthe worldl Well, perhapsnot quite the world, but I am the champion of this year's A Taste of Coloradoice-cream-eatingcompeti' tion, a title I sharewittr my teammates.

For t}re past week, I've been scouring the Internet. I fould motivation in videos of eating legends such as Kobayashiand Sonya"The Black Mdow' Thomas.I searched for wals to devourmassquantitiesof ice crea:nquicklywhile avoidingthe dreadedbrain freeze.There was one practical pieceof advice:avoid letting tle ice creamtouch the roof of my mouth.

Brail freezesmayonly last for 10-15seconds,but in this

sport everysecondcounts.

I arrived at tle culinary showcaseon Sunclayexpecting a solo battle of me againstthe world. Little did I know that the conpetition was meantfor teamsof fow. I joined up with three peoplenamedTom, Meghanand Art who were standing by the registrationarea.Our makeshiftlineup was sel WeLaidout our stateg anddugin. Thebattle wasfierce, andwith a time of 2 minutes,20 secondswe defeatedteams girls. Tho'gh it wasnt the glori' of children and a<lolescent got it us a spot in the finals. ousvictory I envisioned, our first and only natch togetler. My teamAlas,tlat was nates weren't avail,ableto return for tle finals on Monday,so I was presentedwith tlte task of forming a new team.

The first place I lookedtoward was ny fanily. Like ne, they're notbing but a group of ravenousdevourerswith a competitivespirit. But with one clay'snotice,I was only able to bring my nephewJohnonboard.

Ilaving exhaustedour catalog of potential eaters, we gave up searchingand decidedto look for sone people at the festival. We met a guy namedRich a:rd his elementaryageilsonNick. HavingRich on the teamvrasa no-brainer.He lookedto be in his early-30sand had a competitiveair about him. His son was small and I hew he woulclnt contribute muchto tJreteam,but onelook at this child's anirnatedface and I couldl't turn him 4'sv4y.

I croucheddown and lookedNick in the eye and asked, 'Do you tiink you canpull your own weight?"

"Yeah!"he answeredwithout hesitation.With an infectious grin on his fuce, I knew he was goingto be the heart of the team.

"A[ righl let's dothis,' I saidas I led ny newteamto the eatingarea It felt like we were movingi:r slow motionas we approachedour table.

After 25 seconds,Rich stood staight up with a brain freeze.Nick followedsuit soonafter.At ttrat momentI knew I ttrat it was time to kic,k it up a notch.

Goalsvrere tallied by eight Roadrunners,and forward Kylee Harava:rscoredher first bat trick of the season.

Ha:navan,who posted four hat tricks last season, won Rocky Mountain Atl etic Conference Player of tlre Weeka week ago.

"Peopieunderestimatedus becausewe lost so many people,' said Hanavan."Wejust want to build the team like we did last year and the yearbeforeandhopefi:llymakeit to the National Cha:npionship."

Meh'o's dominancekept the ga:ne in the Grizzlies' zone all day. The Roadrumers forwards and midfielderspressuredAclans State, forcing severalbad passesa:rdturnovers.

Midfieider Becca Mals kept Adams State tom any kind of offensivetlreat by recording nrrllercus steals ald assisting on t}te opening goalin the fourth ninute.

Head coach Damy Salchez said tlre team w,rs very active and that tle pressureeventually wore down the Grizzlies.Sa:rchez'sRoadnmners pressureda tired Grizzlies team that outlastedNevr Mexico Highlandsfor a 1-0 win ttre daybefore.

Scoring11 goalsin a gamewas a fine feat, but the stat of ttre night wastle 32 shotson goai.

The Roadrunners'offensiveonslaughtcamein waves as tle Adams State defensecouid not contain tle tlree-headednonster of Ha:ravan, mirlielder BeccaMays and forw'ardKira Sharp.

The tlree players combinedfor six goals, two assistsand 16 shots on goal.

The freshman Mays looked impressivein tlis young soccerseason.She scoredthe opening goal when shereceiveda passftom Brown, blew past two Grizzlies defendersand fired a rocket past the goalkeeper.

Mays scoredher third goal of ttre seasonin the 63d minute off an assistby miclfielderAmira

'Today,she was a little unfit, bit she did what she had to do. She'sshong off tlte ball and car finish."

After Mays ancl Hanavancombinedfor five goals, the rest of the team followed suit. With just over 20 milutes left in the game,six players scoredgoals,including Ebel,defensiveback JennaOney,forward Kira Sharp,forward Katie Kilbey,nidfielderJamieStephensonandforward AlyssaWolfer.

Adams State's lone goal was an own goal.

While attemptingto clear the ball from Metro s zone,keeperRachelZolher inadvertentlyhit a Metro defenderin the back and the ball deflected into the 'Runnersnet. The goalwas credited to forward Kyle Hurley,who was the last Grizzly to touch the ball.

"Wedid lose a lot of great playersfrom last year, but I thfuk this year our team has a lot more heart,' Sharp said. "I think heart sometimes takes a higherstaldard than skill. I thittk vre have a shot at (a championship)because thesegirls wa::t to win.'

The 'Rumers showed more heart the following Sun<laywhen they took the home field againstNew MexicoHighlands.Metro was shut down in tle first half, but scoredthree goalsin tJresecondhalf for the 3-0 win. The homewin was ttre 53d consecutivevictory at Auraria field datingback to 2002.

MiclfielderJessicaBrown scoredtlree minutes into the secondhalf off al assist by Oney.

Just 53 secondslater, in tlte 49e minute, the 'Runnersgot an insurancegoal when Hanavan drilled homea penaltykick.

The goal was the lourth of tle weekendfor Hanavanand gaveher 12 points on ttre season.
