Fulton quoted the DC ComicsEditorial Policy Codeof the 19409 which mandatedthat female charactersshouldbe 'seconrlaryin importance, and shouldbe drawl realistically,without exaggerationof femi:rinephyrsicalqualities."

As social mores tansformed ald societal standardschanged,the artwork of Babaa:rfollowed suit. Concurrentwith the burgeoningsocial movementsof the '60s, female characters beganto find more freedomand independence.

The trend continued throughout tf,e '70s and '80s, as familiar charactersgainedmoreaut}tority and strengthil new incarnations.

"This is really good practice for thesis defense,becauseyou have a chanceto talk about your ideaald streamlineit," saidJenniierGoodland, Metropresidentof Phi AlphaTheta."When peopleask questions,you're alreadyanticipating the sorts of challengesyou might flnd.'

Rivasdecidedto cometo Metro from Wright State Universityin Dayton,ohio to conductthis semesterafterseeingajob postedin TheChronicle of HigherEducation.

'I camehere for the htewiew, and i was so happywith everythingI saw here,and i like tlre orchestra," said fuvas, who is originally Irom VenezueLa."The prospective colleagues that I saw and I met here when I cameto the interview (and)all the musicalfaculty are really greatpeople.I like them a lot, so that's alsowhy I decidedto.come."

However,tle decisionwas not an easyone, as Rivashad to cometo Denverby himself,leaving his wife and three childrenback in Ohioso that his wile cor:ld finish her own conbact as a professorof Spanishand Hispano-Anerican literature at Wright. Rivas' wife has one more quarter at Wright beforeshe and their children canjoin Fjvas in Denverat the endof November.

Rivas was born into a family of conductors. His grandfather,father and notler were conductors,and Rivas took up the baton when he was 20. Maintainingthe Eailition, Rivas' 13-

Rivas reminiscedwith a snile about excitedly asking his father to fi:rd him a cello so he could start playhg right away. He also plays piano, but it is not his prhciple instrument. "I play (piano)for myselJ,"he said.

His passionfor music is evidentto his students. A fellow cellist and prilcipal player for the Oct. 8 performance,Jared Minaga, said Rivas has a strong attention to detail and consistencyand has also helpedthe studentsplay togetherbetter and listen to eachother instead of just playing individually. Mhaga was very pleaseilwith the addition of Rivas. 'He realiy bringsthe notesoff the page,"he said.

As muchas the Metro studentshaveenjoyed Rivas,he hasalso enjoyedworki:rgwith them.

'They are all good kids. I enjoy working with students always. They are very attentive (and)collaborative," Rivassaid.

During the Oct. 8 performalce, the preparation and dedicationof both the studentsand Rivaswas apparent.Rivassaidthe studentshad beenpracticingsincethe lastweekof Augusl with eightrehearsalsbeforethe final perfornance.

'It has been a hard eight weeks working year-oldson has also started conducting.Rivas was a musicianbeforebecominga conductor u/ith the orchestra... I am just so happyto comeald conductand enjoy t}te music we are and starteil playingthe ce1loat the ageof 10.

"I come from a musicial's fanily, ald of doing,"Rivassaid.

The performance featured three pieces: courseI was exposedto classicalnusic silce I was a little boy," Rivas said. 'I heard always Jean Sibelius' Neo-Romantic"Finlaldia," Mauthese concertoswith (the) cello, and I just love rice Ravel'splayfirl, inpressionistic "Ma Mdre LQ'e," and Robert Schumam's Roma:rtic that i:rstrument.

A favoritetopic of punditsthesedaysis how the Bush administrationmisled the counlry to start the war in kaq, and fra"nkly,I'm tired of hearing about it. It's not that I disagreewiti ttren. It's just the sheerhypocrisyof it all.

Bark in 2002aral 2003,thesesane people now chidingthe presidentwere mockingpeople like me,who were sayingexacUywhat tley are saying now. The only differenceis that more than 100,000innocentpeoplehavenow died in the war.

Although I am sayingI told you so, I can't havethe childishpleasurethat nonnallyaccompaniesthose words. Lr fact, I feel nothing but bitterness.The peoplewho mockedtJrosewho opposedthe Iraq war beforeit happenedarenow makingthe sameargumentsfour yearsl,ater.

Howevet tlte facts haven't changed.What '90s hasn't U.N. inspectorssaid in the late cha:rged.The fact remains that Iraq's secular Baatlist regimehad nothirg to do with a group like al'Qaeila.I could continueto fill this colunn with facts refuting the Bush administra' tion's claims - all facts lcrown before the war started.

Back when it mattered,when an impending war neededto be stopped,almostall the Demo' crats in Congressand most mai:rstreampundits supportedtle war. They weren'tinterestedin the facts;theyjust wantedto take the politically easyroad.

Now as they changetheir ninils anil stan payfurgattention to reality, it isn't becausetley are learning the truth, but becauseit is politically convenient.

Let this be a lessonto Americanswhentley think aboutpolitical issues.Politicians and the mediaindustry do not value facts a:rdanalysis.'

Neither do they care about accountability or conscience.

It is up ro us to researchwhat is happening and decipherthe truth for ourselves.The reversal in the media'sattitude towartlsthe Iraq war is but one exampleof how untrustworthy the mediais. Rely on no onebut yourself.

Remember tle elementary school playground and tfiose nice sandboxes?Everyone would pile in, start games ald get bored il a couple of ninutes. Instead of moving on to play hopscotch,the kids would start bickering over toys or calling each other nanes. Before tley knew it, the bell for recesswoulil ring and nottring had happenedexcept for some sa:rd throwilg.

Aside ftom the obligatory involvenent in administrativedecisions,tlis is wlut our SGA has beendoing.

Since May the position of vice presideut has beeg open. PresidentJack Sflie has been askedto presenta cadidate to be voted on by ttre senate.

So far Vllie has brought forth two canrlialates.The first was shot down beforetle senate hearingscould occur.The secondstarted a debatethat is headedto ttre student court as a part of a constitutionalbattle tlat could take monthsto solve.

In the process,StudentAdvisoryComnittee to t}re.AurariaBoardrepresentativeJorilanBair resiped, leaving yet alottrer vacanry in ttre SGA Namecalling, impeachmeattlreats ald a whole lot of sandliave beenftying.

This is what happenswhen a group of people is heided into a sna1l enclosure,provided .with a few toys and endsup spendingmoretime focusingon personaldiffetencestlu:r the issues at ha:rd.Thus creatingthe 2006 SGASandbox.

To call us apatletic may be accurate,but studenti neetl a reason to care. At a school that has virhally no positive contact witl its

. It was a day of upsetsin Coloradoon Oct. 7, most notablyfor the Universityof ColoradoBuffaloes.Their f<iotballteamiost in triple overti::re at hometo Baylor, 34-31. But t}te real crusher was tieir No.l-ranked Division III hockeyteam getting stumed by the Roadrunners,6-4,at The EdgeIce Arena in Littleton.

Although the Metro hockeyteamtook a 9-4 beatingttre night beforefron the sameCUteam in Boulder,tle fact a club sport team defeated a sanctionedteam speaks volumes about tle effort and determinationthe 'Runnersbring to the ice.

"It was a huge win for us," Metro head coachGregWoodssaid."Tbat'sthe No.I teamin the counhy for Division IIL They'veplayedfour games,and it was only our second.They beat us Iast night 9-4, so bounchg back and beating ttremwashugefor us."

The frst period featured numerousMetro penaltiestlnt kept CUon the powerptay.Metro foughtoff four CUmanadvantages, thanksto the goaltendingof Tloy Aubol,who madesaveafter saveto keepthe Buffaloesoff the scoreboard. "l just hied to cover my reboundsas much as possibleand get to as manywhistles as possible," Aubol said. .I just tried to stay focused andwhen ! got tire( I just workedtlrough it.'

CU eventually broke tlrough on a power play with about two minutes left in ttre period.

Witl a five-on-threeadvantage,Buffaloes defensemenMatt Casinelli found a loose puck anil slappedit past Aubol's stick side to break a scoreiesstie. Onesecondafter the goal Metro got a playerback, but CUcontinuedon ttre frveon-fourpowerplaywith a Roadrururerstill in the penaltybox.

CUtook advantageof the mntinuing power play by smring on a wrap-aroundonly 10 seconds later. lcft alone behind Meto's net, CU right winger Brian Bowersfakedright and when the defenseandgoaliefell for it, Bowerswent left ald founda wide opennet to put CUahead2-0.

As the frst periodended,andttreplayers1eft ttre ice toward their respectiveiocker rooms,one of the CUplayerslooked in tle directionof the Meho playersald chuckleil,sayingthe Roadrunnerslookedas if they hadalreadylost the game.

It's uncertainif the 'Ru:rnerscaughtwind of these remarks,but they cameout firi:rg in tlte secondperiod,scoringtlree goalsir tlle spanof a minuteand fow goalsin the period.

Metro'sBrin Arakaki pickedoff a slow pass in CU'szone, maneuveredpast a CU defender and dequedout the goaliefor Mebo's first goal.

It only took 10 secondsfor Meko to grab their secondgoal of the gameas Kit Hamlin.tookthe puck from the faceoff, raced along the outside

of tle ice and flipped it over the goalie'sglove.

Meho evenedthe game 45 secondslater and eventuallytook the leail on a power play after CUwas penalizedfor tripping.

'We told (the tearn)to stay out of tle penalty box," Woodssaid a.boutthe first internission.

"That'swhat we had to work on. We scoredtwo short-handedgoals, so we picked it up on tlnt aspect,but oncewe were out of the penaltybox, play." rvedominated But Meto klew tlat a one-goalleadwasn't safe witl tlle scoring porrer. CU showed tJre night before.DexterVarra,who contributedtwo pointsin the previousnight's game,playedinsuranceagentas he scoredMetro'sfifth goal of the night at the beginningof the third period,giving tle 'Runnersa 5-3 lead.CUscoredanotler goal and rushedto tie the gane by bringing exba attackers to tlre Roaikur:ners'zone.Varra came throughagain,hevyqysr,and addedanothergoal with eight minutesto go on a cross-passhetook from Shawnkwis.

"I just sat up in front of the net," Varrasaid.

"Theyhada defensema:r on me,andwe went out to tle point a:rdgof a shot. I just parkedmy ass there, got the reboundand tlrew it in tle net."

The win inproved Meko's record to 1-1.

hamperingHarlequins 8y feremyfohnson jiohn308@nscd.crilu Focused quiet a:rd hunchedover in chairs resemblingtle renegadenachines of Mail Max, the Denver Harlequinswheelchail rugly tean rolled ontothe court for a little four-on-fourteam practiceOct. 4 at the Auraria EventsCenter. ' Newcomersald seasonedvetera:rs alike - informally called murderba.llers- beganklking snack, crowdingand pinning eachotler in steely scnrms. Though it was just a practice went, the intensrty in the players' eyes suggestedit nealt more.

'Whistle," shoutedone playerwhile the rest convergedinto a clanging frenzy awaiting the inboundpass.

"Wheelchairrugbyis just like a speedchess match," ChaaceSumnersaid. "If one guy does onething, you haveto counter-move.'

Sumneris one of tle best murdeftallers il tle nation.Along with rugby veteranand Harlequins' captainJasonReiger,Sumnerwas part of tle recent national gold-medalU.S. team in tle WheelchairRugbyWorld Chanpionshipsin New Zealand.Lr a sporttlat raaks players'slrill level from .5 to 3.5,Sunneris a 3.0. . Wheelcbairrugby guaranteesparity on tle floor by limiting eachteam'sskill levels.A team rray havetwo or three playerswittr 3 or 3.5 skill level on the sideline,but teamsare only permitted to start eight total points among tle four playen on tlte floor at all times.

The offective of the gameis as old as sport itself - one ball, two teams and two goals. A

tean beginsplay witl an hbound pass.fromthe oppositeend oftle court, then attemptsto clrive down the court using a series of blOcks,picks andpassesto penetratetwo conesonthe far end representingthe opposinggoal.

'The gameis all mental,really," Adam Scatuno said. "Youcanbeat peoplewithout having too nuch speed. It's just physics and geome@."

The defensivestrategr ofthe gameis the basic geometricconcepttaught in high schoolthat the fastestway betweentwo points is a straight line. The better defensiveplayersfind that line quickly and propel therrselves at the perfect algle in hopesof blocking the ball-hancller.

If the line is conect, then the laws of physics take over.Chairscollide wittr loud, cracking sounds. Players are tlrown from ttreir seats ard wonld be propelled out of tleir chairs altogether if not for seatbelts securing them to their chairs. Occasionally,players are loocked over onto their backs, where tley lie and wait to be turned back ovei. In most cases,tle player is set back on their wheels and the game quickly resumes.

'You're going to get bumps and bruises," Josh Stapensaid "It's conpetitive, but I tbink we're more conpetitive becausewe're all disabledanrlwe havea chip on our shoulder.Weall bavesomettringto prove."

The Harlequins naayhave a chip on their shoulder,but the biggest chip they carry is tle constantstruggleto naintain a team. Sincethe sport is limited to quadriplegics,so too is their talent pool.

And since they are the only tean in tle state, tle Harlequins must travel hundreils, eventhousalds of miles to competewith other nationalaad intemationalteams,shaining theA finances.

'I can't say enoughabout

byl really," Stapensaid. "It gives me something to stive for ald it givesme passion.But I'd love to seernoresponsorsfor it.'

Skill levels vary just as individual injuries vary While a number of attletes are disabled dueto accidentstlat resulterlin spinal damage, otlrershavebeendisabledfrom birth by iliseases suchas cerebralpalsy.

'When you havean injury, you havea lot of things taken from you," said Regier,whoseneck was brokeni:r a car accident10 yearsago."But rugby is somethingI conld competeat in a high level. It's givenme a lot of independence and it's allowed me to expand on vfrat I thought was possible."

-Harlequin's vicJoy Roudeauis one of the tims of cerebralpalsy and oneof tle few female menbers of the co-edteam. .. 1fWheelchairrugby) definitely opened my eyes to tle capabilitiesof wbat I can do as a handicappedperson," Roudeausaid. 'Anything you can do alle-bodiedyou can do in a n'heelchair," she said.

Tbat ttremeis a commonone amongthese atbletes. The Harlequinshave tle sane goals and drive as other at etes. They strive to win and to achievesuccesson the highesl interna. tional pladorm. When tley take to ttre cou( they haveonly ong objectivein nind - winning.

Walkinginto tle Auraria EventCentergmnasium, ttre soundsconpouniledthe intensity on the players' faces. Metal on netal. E:plo. sionsof aluminuma:rdsteel.Gnmtsanil cbatbr worthy of a Mondaynight in tle NFL. Welcome to wheelchairrugby.

After a coupleninutes of observation,t}e DenverHarlequins'tâ&#x201A;Źan captain,JasonRegier, wlrceledoverto me."Youqrantto tv?" he asked..

I was taken abackby tle question.Wasthis somekind of trick? \fa"i it fair for an able-bodied pe*on to take the court againsta group of disabledatlletes? Would I have an advantage?

Would I have a tlisatlvantage?Wonld they accept me or team up againstne witl sonething to prove?

Regierlifted hinsell out of his game chair andinto his street chair.I sat downand strapped mpelf into the narow seat,put on somegloves aad slowly rolled nryselfout onto ttre courl I soonrealizeclI had no ideawbat I was rloing. The dynamicsof steeringa wheelcbairwere hard enough;but even harder under the pressureof anotler playerbarrelingdownon me.My teamnateswere supportive,but demanding.

"Covernunber eight,' oneplayer shoutedat me. I turned to find numbereight, but, alas, he was gone.I turned just in ting fe sgs him rcll betweenthe orangeconesfor the goal..

Momentslate! as I playeddeepdefense,my chancecameagain. ChanceSumner,practicing for tle U.S. Paralynpic Team,broke free frona a wheelchairscnrm and was headedmy way. I rolled right at him with all my miglrt and was closi:rg in on him when he juked to the right, turned left up the sidelineand was gone.I had missedmy chance,ag:in.

Suddenly,I was the onettrat filt disabted.

As fte gamewent on I got better. I began to lean: tle agles necessaryto make the big blocks.I got to feel tle satisfactionof ramning my rnetalrnachineinto anotherto opena holefor my 'eiling tâ&#x201A;Źaminate.As he rolled t}rough the cones,I beFn to feela little nore ableand nore a part of tleir well-oilerlnachine.

Sweatingheavily,we calledit quits 45 minutes later. "I've never seenan able-bodiedperson last so long out there wilh us," one of tLe playerssaid to ne.

I got out of the chair with wobbly legs and achingarms,but I ditlnt dareconplain. At least I conld get up.

I learned a lot tlat day about disabili$.
