Ilood (King Raren Trilogy, Book I) 8y StephenR.Lawhead $2{.99

By Glarlc Readcr crcadcrS@mscd.edu

Robin Hood and his merry band of thieves get an imaginatire reworkilg in Ilood, Stephen R. Iarryheacl's first installmentof the King Ravep trilo5r Not only is the book extremd well-crafted, but it groundsthe famousarcher in rea.lityand managesto tun him into a believablecbaracterGoneis the plucky herowho stealsfrom tle rich to give to the poor.In his placeis a selfish,uncoutl mal who is ultinately moreendearingfor his humanfrailties.

The novel.takes place in medievalWales long after the Romanshave abandonedttre far outpost.In their place,feudinglocal tribes fight againsteachotler andagainstNormal invaders for control of t}'e country.

Bran ap Brychan is ttre carefree prince of tle wootlland kingdom of Elfael, always chasing womenand causingtouble. He doesn'tcare much for his duties as a prince, spendhg his time and energr pursuinghis own goals.

Things change when his. father and his futler's forces are ruttrlessly slain by Normans who have bought the land from King eiliam the Red. Ihis sets Bran on a quest to get his khgdom back and set his peopleAee from ttre nrt}tless invaderswho have usurpedcontrol of the country.

Sincethis is the first installnent of a trilogy, the book endswitl a cliffhanler. Still, tlis first volumeshorrrstl.e roots of the hero and how his bandof tlrievescameto be.

All the cbaractersfrom ttre storiesare pres' ent, but tley're clrawnmore realistically tla:r usual, and only one faniliar witl the Iegends can catchwho they are.

M6rianis not a shy rnaid,but a strong,independentwom.alwhosesoleinterest isn't Bran.

Little John is Iwaa, a tall soldier who is Bran's closest friend ald all that remains of Elfael'sarmy.

Friar Thck is BrotherAethelfrith, a fat, jovial priest who takes up with Bran and his friends when he seeshow cruelly the peopleof Wales are bei::gheated.

0f course,tle wicked Sheriff of Nottinghan is presentas CountFalkes de Broase,a Norseman who will stop at nothing to bring all of 'Wales underhis sway.

The novel'shistorica.lsetting lends it al air of credibility that ma:ry of the more faltastic versionsof the RobinHoodmyth l,ack.

The book's high degreeof political intrigue adds a deeperdimensionto the vrell-trod tale.

The characters constantly navigate a sea of shifting alliancesand loyalties,neverarriving at a safe hartor. This gives the book a cutthroat anclpitiless political atmosphere,addilg to the tensionand dramaof tle story The novel could be corsidered fantasy or historical fiction, dependingon how it is read.

Whateverits genre,Ilood hits its mark as a compelling and interesting take on a well-known tale.

genesis liesinrocism control Gun A lot of argumentsget tossedaroundin the gun control debate,and I'm sure you've heard most of them before. However, that doesn't mea:rthe public discourseon guls involves all the facts. Rarely mentionedis the origil of U.S. gun control.Justas drugswere origilally only ilIegalfor certail immigrantald mhority groups, gulr control comesfrom laws designedto maintain white dominanceand slavery Gu:r contol began in America long before the creation ol the United States. In the 16th cenhr5r,for example,New Spainmadeit illegal for all blacks, free or slave, to carry weapons.

Virginia, in 1640, enactedlaws banning slaves from carrying weapons 'including clubs," and outlawing "free Mulattoes, Negroes,and India:rs" frorn carrying ams. In 1751, the French Black Codein Louisiara auttrorizedwhites to attack 'any black carryingany potentialweapon.'

U.S. independencedidn't changethhgs for . minorities.Eventhoughthe SecondAmendment stipulated tlte right of the peopleto keep and bear arms, similar racially-basedlaws continued. The Unifonn Militia Act of 1792 required the enrollnent and armament of "everv free,

mrwtrsl{lR ewiesner @mscd.edn able-bodied,white male citizen" for militia duty, nalhg sure white people were armed while blackswereoftenpreventedfromowningweap' ons by iocal laws. When the United Statestook over New Orleansfrom the French in 1803, it went so far as to outlaw blacks from learning how to fence.Lr 1834,Tennessee evenchalged its constitution from providing for the rights of "freemen"to bearannsto "freewhite men.'

Suchracist a:rti-weaponIaws were not lim' . ited to the soutlern states.An 1831law in Delaware required free blacks to get court approval before owning guns. The sameyear, Maryland

passeda gunbanon freeblacks.0f course,I am not citing everylaw, but givilg a few exa:nples to illustrate the origins of gun control.

Even tiough t}re Civil War ended slavery racist policiesand attitudes remained.After the end of the Civil War in 1865, southern states bega.nenacting'black codes"to guarantbethat former slaves would remain second-classcitizens. Lr 1866, Alaba.naprohibited 'aly person to sell, give, or lend fire-armsor ammunitionof any description"to blacks.

Although openlyracist laws continuedaJter the Civil War,somealso took on politically correct tones. The "SaturdayNight Special" laws exemplily this. These Lawsbannedthe sale of cheaphandguns,ensuringwhites wor;ld be better annedthal minorities.Tire first suchlaw, in Tennessee,baruredthe sale of all ha:rdgunsbut the "Army and Navy" models.The legal guns were popularwith whites, but were too expensivefor most non-whites.

In 1902,the first totzl bal on ha:rdgulswas passedin SouthCarolina,with an exemptionfor law enforcementa:rd specialdeputies- special deputiesincludingthe Ku KIux Klan. NewYork

enacteda law in 1911requiringa police-issued permit to own a halilgun. The police,naturally, refused most milority applicants (a practice that continuesto this day).

A recent practiceto enforceracial gun control has involved public housing.In 1988, the Chicago Housing Adthority began "0peration Clea:rSweep,"which involvedthe ChicagoPolice conductingwarrantlesssearchesin publichousing andseizingall firearmsandnarcotics.After a complaintwasfiled,tle CHAandCPDbackedoff and lirnited their incursions.Despiteclear ques' tions of constitutionality,such bals on guns in housingprojectscontinuedin otler cities.

Toclay,whenwe hear how cri:ninalsare running rampant and that the "streets arent safe for our children,"we know exactlywhich criminals and which streets are in question.People know full well that the police establishmentis not color-blind.It pains me that the history of gun control is one of keepilg guns from minorities, and yet nobodyknows about tlis history.

Gun control has historically been a racist institution and continuesto be.

lossto TexasTech ByEricLauing lansing@nscd,etlu I'he Metro State hockey team has enough battles on tle ice tryi:ig to competewith hockey powerhousessuchas ColoradoStateald Denver University.But in a l0-1 loss on Oct. ll f6f6x:s Tech (2-0)at the South Suburbal Ice Arena in Centennial,it looks Uket!.e new rule changeson penaltieswill be a baHleil itself.

The Roadrunnershad numerouspenalties that led to sevenpower-playgoals,five of tlern in the first period.Metro was constanllyfighting two- anrl tlree-man advantageswhile bavingup to four menin tlte penaltybox at oneti::re.

"Penaltiesare goingto be a very interesting thing for everybottytJrisseason,"Metro captain Curtis Duffus said, 'Whicheverteamsare golng to leam to play this kind of gamefust are the

oneswho aregoingto win hockeygames.'

The NCAAs new rule against "offensive playerscomingthrough the neutral or offensive goalsbeing unfairly/illegally held-upwhile they ma]{ea legitimateartemptto get or remainopen for a pa.ssftom a puck-controllingteammate' is now being enforced.Ar:d enforcedit was, as penalty after penalty qrascalled on botl teams tlroughout ttre game.

New head coach Brian Teneyck,who was recentlygiventhe job basedon his playingexperiencewitl t}e players,e4)lainedthat the new rules are chang'ngthe gameof hockeynot only for his teambut for tle entire league.

-ltere is absolutelyno stick work," Teneyck said."Theseguls havegrownup knowinghow to usetleir sticks,a:rdnowyougointoa gamewhere you cant. Last week (againstColorado)you saw penalties,ald this weekwasno different."

Duftrs saidhe spoketo oneof the TexasTech playersafterthe gameandwastold tlat in a game againstNorthernTexasa few nightsago,tle refereescalled60 penafties.

Drftrs addedit will be a learningprocessfor the new ruleswill be his teamaddunderstanding

'The first montl here really doesn'tmatter a whole lot," Duffus saiil. "Simply becauseeverybodyis adjusting.This garnewas ridiculous with t}te nur:rberof penalties,so a gamelike this doesn'tconcernme TexasTechleft wing Kevin Mayouxled the RedRaiderswitl seventotal pointsoff four goals and tlree assists.kft wing WesShirleypitched in three goals, and starting goaltenderAntlrew Mossbergloggeilhis secondwin on tJreyear.

The lone Metro goal camefrom Brin Arakaki at the 8:53mark of the secontlperiotl.There wa.sa sorum for tle puck in tlte corner of tle Red F.aiders'zone, and Arakaki pulled it out, found himself alonein front of the net and shot it hometo endthe shutout.

Starting goaltenderTloy Aubol, vtro won his first gameon Oct. 7 againstDivision III Col orailo University 6-4, had a hard time fighting off the many TexasTech power plays and was pulled for backupgodie CaseySherwoodin the fi'al period.

With the new changesbeing a factor for every hockeyteam,Teneycksaid his playersneed

to understandthe new rules ald oncetley elirninate the mistakes,ttreywill be ableto compete.

-The guys needto watch the New Rules of Enphasis video," Teneycksaid. "They need to understald what's a penalty and what's not, a::d we definitely needto work on our penalty hlling. But tonight we cameout flat and do not want to make any excuses,becausewe should haveshom up to pl,ay."

As tle Roadnrnners'captain,it vdll be Duffus' job to help his teamadaptto the new system .of rules so they can focus on the gameinstead of the penalties.

"It's goingto be hard to not be ableto touch peoplewitl our sticks, hook people,or cross drcck," Dnffns said. 'tffbat we need (is) to start practicingthis stuff a:rd learning how to clear peopleout of the front of the net without usingou sticks ald use our shouldenand our bodies.We are goingto haveto cbangethe waywe play" The loss drops the 'Rumers record to l-2.

It was senior night for four Metro pLayers: Wittenburg, Bohamon, Allison and middle blocker Kel1yAlgel.

"I was tiinking about how we playedUCCSlast time, so I really just
