IIis latest foray is /rbey3 Sfory,a haunting tale that mixes King's tadenark horror talents witl a conplex love story. King createsvivid charactersandbelievable dialogueto match their depth.He tbrows them into a world that mixes familiar elementswitl surrealism,where readershaveto orient tlLenselvesalongwitl tle characters. the novel follows Lisey I:ndon, widovr oI famousautlor ScottLaldon, who hasbeendead for two years. To say her late husband was eccentric would be an undentatement:He createda slew of inagirary wordsand Ied6oolgames,in which eachDoolwas a clue leadingto a prize. 0f course,since it's King ftott also left a coupledark secrets. When Lisey firally decidesit's tine to go tlrougb her husband'soffice and clear out his papers, she $ts hit wift a wave of mem.ories fron their life togettrer..Notall tle nenories are pleasad, and she soon starts to hear her husband'svoicein her head. Her conposure deterioratesquickly when
she gets a call fron .o."oas 6gaanding her late husband'sulpublished work. She realizes Scotthasleft onelast Doolgamefor her to solve, with a prize that isnt pleasantor expected. If the plot soundsa little murky, tlat's becauseit is. Lisey jun:ps back and forttr in time as shesifts throughher memories,oftenvrithout warnilg, and it is easyto get lost. By the end of the novel,everythingbecomes clear,a:rdso in a way,King is playing a kind of Doolgamewith readers:Follow the clues, stick with the story and it will all nake sense. Wlile a love story maynot bewhat's expected from King, he deliversadndrably,givingScott and Lisey a real and relatablerelationship.They bottr inve secretsand half-truths in their lives, tlan most andthougbthey aremoreexaggerated people's,it adtlsto the tuth of the cbaracters. pe1elit-ss[6e]King fans, dont worry: There areplentyof frighteningmoments,includinghorrific attacks frorn stalkers and demonsalike.

It reads, in essence,as a 'kinkifiefl' ysrsiqn of.PetetPan. Anid the confusing language, a plot is nowhere to be found. the couple does have

Gay-rightsissues get tle shaft The election struck a major blow to gayrights advocatesacross Colorado.Referendum I, which rnould have allowed for civil unions betweengay couples,suffereda sound defeat, while Arnendment43, which ilefines marriage 'as.being solely betweena ma:r ald a womar, passeclwittr little protest.

I*gislators and lobbyists When Colorado'slawmakersassembleeach year underthe goldendomeof ttre Capitol,nore ttan t,000 totbyists are tlere to qrhispersweet nothingsinto their ears. In the past, lobbyistshavelavishedofficials with gifts - valuedat approximately$1.6million a year,rangingfrom Broncostickets to goll outings to overseastips, accordingto thet filings
nfiTTfflw 0ulfi mqnane@nscd.edu with t}te secretaryof state'soffice. However,when state lawmakers and Gov. Bill Owensreportedthe gifts they receiveillast year, the tota.l came to $200,000 - ar average $1,170for eachstate serator and $1,500 for each representative- almost $1.4 million ofi from the nunbers given by the secretaryof state'soffice. That is becausestahrtes are flalry about what the lobbyists nust report and what th: l,awmakersmust report. Amendment41 has now set a limit upontle expenseof gifts that lobbyistsmay give to lawmakers. Goneare the days of all-expenses-paid vacationsand free Broncostickets. Colorado has tle fourth-highest number of lobbyists per iegislator in the country,witb nearly 11 for eachlegislator,acmrding to Coloradansfor CleanGovernnent. This is largelybecauseColoradowas one of 24 stateswith nobansor linits onlobbyists'gifts to public offcials. It took until this year for state legislators1s finally vote to prohibit thenselves from acceptingL'rlimitedamountsof cash.

I am a supporterof marijuanalegalization, and I believe44 would havebeena step ir the right direction, but the debateover marduana and the drug war as a whole is full of sharles of gray.

with ttre tlreat of anest for noncompliance. In tle media, Brakey received heat fron well-publicizedmisogmists,suchasMike Rosen of tle RockyMountainNews,who stated, 'The surest way to avoid mistreatmentof wonen at tle sei.rriceacademiesis not to admit tlem in ttre 6rst place."

Nothing has chaagedat tle academy,It was not fat. It was wrong. I would do it agai!.
"Rapistsare not born;they are made.Seventy-five percentof thoseingredientscanbe founil at the Air ForceAcademy,"shesaid. At tlte beginning of her struggle, Brakey hopedto bring about cha:rge.'They could restucture and they could stop this.' If every wonan, child or man tlat experiencedsexualassaultwere willing to exposethe horrors of the abuseand set tle samedemands, tle paradip. of shame,ignorance anil abuse can shift.

Ierror legislotio impedes upon First Amendme
Thecloudsarerolling in for animal.rightsactivists and advocatesof First Amendnentrights. Making a dark sky more ominous,the Animal EnterpriseTerrorism Act was rushed tlrough Congresson Nov.13 without muchdebate. Like its predecessor, the Anirnal Enterprise Protection Ad. of 7992, the AEaA puts crosshairs on the oppositionto treating sentient beings as connodities. Under both acts, violent actionsagainsttle anirnalindusty are crininal offenses,as are peacefuIcampaignst}at succeedat ilisrupting businessoperations. The AEIA differs from tle previousact in several inportant ways. First, the nebulous ternnsof offensehave beenbroadenedaad firther hazed.lnstead of 'causingphysicaldisruption to the fimctioning of an erlimal enterprise,' one cannow be bied 'for tlre purposeof damaging or interfering with tle operationsof an animal enterprise." This differenceis important - whether.one obtusely considersproperty tlamage, such as vandalism or researchfiIe deshuction, an act of terrorism is now besidethe point. Currenfly, "interfering" is the key wonl.

. BASKEIBALL MEN'S proud ondblueVeikolos burgundy toweor hockey In-line through comes win inovertime
By Eric Lansing lansing@mscd.edu
Sports at Metro come in many varieties, from the championshipsoccer and basketba-ll teams to the clublevel teams of tae kwon do and rugby.In-line hockeyis the newestsport to be officially sanctionedby the school,introduchg a Metro team to the vast world of campus atl etics. StartingforwardCodyLemonis creditedwith foundingthe new teamandwas surprisedto see so maly fellow studentscomeand try out. "I probably started it tlree seasonsago," lemon said. "It startedby word of mouthto get somepeopleto join, and we had a pretty good turnout for tryouts. We tried to get salctioned last year during midseason,but when we spoke to the director, we would have had to do the wholething over againthe followhg season.So we just wantedto get everythingsolvedand do it tom the start of this year." "There was a 1ot of paperwork (to get the team sanctioned)."Lemonsaid. 'It wasn't much fun, but it was worth it." In-line hockey or roller hockey,is like ice hockeywithout the ice and ice skates.Insteadof iceskates,playerswearin-lineskates.Andwhere' as ice hockeyhas six players,in-line hockeyhas onlyflve piayersonthe rink includingthe goalie.
Being sa:rctionedallows the teamto play in a league a:rd competewith other schoolstlnt havethe sport. Metro plays in DivisionI for tlre National CollegiateRoller Hockey Association a-ndplays against schoolsiike ColoradoState, Northern Colorado,Arapahoe Cornnunity ColIegea:rdthe Universif of Denver. Starting defensernanAndrew Smith is the assistant captain and says that in-lhe hockey is more excithg and less expensivethan ice hockey. "In someways, it's a faster garne,"Smith said."lt's faster,higherscoring,ald for me per' sonally,I haveplayedice hockey,a:rdI just like roller a lot more." "I don't evenklow how to ice skate,"Lemon saidwhen askedwhy he preferredin-Ihe skates to ice skates. "A 1otof peopleare turned off by ice hockey,I tltfuk becauseice time is expen' sive.Findingrink time is easierin roller hockey, becauseice time is hard to fild. You get a lot more playing time, and it's a fast-pacedgame that is fun to watch." Coachingthe Roadrunnersis TomBarr, who was brought onjust a lew weeksbeforethe season. Barr is amazedat the dedicationLemon and Snith bring to tlre new team and the love they havefor the schoola:rdthe sport. "These two guys have been instrumental
il putting together a $eat te;un and goup of guys," Barr said. "I got to give creilit to these two guys for really getting a team togetler for this school.I haven't seen such commitment from two guys in my coachingcareer,and they haveput togethera heckof a program." "It's awesome,'Smith said about Metro sanctionhg the team. "This is my fust real competitiveroller-hockeyteam I've playedfor. I playedfor anotheruniversity il Coiorado,but it wasn'tas goodas this teamat Metro.I'm proud to be a par-tof this team,'he said. The team playsfrom the heart becausethey have few expectationsfor a future in the sport and few peoplewill go into the NHL ftom roller hockey,Barr said. "They don't have the superstardomlike ice hockey brings, or the benefit of money,or the benefit of scholarships,so it all comesfrom the heart,'he said. "All these guyscone out ald give everythingthey have, andthat's what I Iove aboutcoachingroller hockey." The Roatlrunnersfinished the first half of their seasonvvitha 5-5-1record,includinga 6-3 win over DU. Theywill conthue their seaspnin Januaryand hopeto makea mn at the playoffs. The team will aiso continueto play not just for a winning record,but also for the schoolwhose on tieir jerseys. emblemis nowembroidered
