Department ofEducation should be"realistic" bybracing itelf foraninsease inthenumber ofstudents defaulting onthe theirfedenl loanpayments this jobma*etis year.Ihis zumme/s predicted tobetheworst since WoddWarll.

The costof parking could bedriven up by at least50 centsnext year for almosteverylot at Auraria, with the Tivoli Lot inoeasing to $6 a day.

Oltcials of Auraria said the increasesare necessaryto secure funds to build a new parking structure in the next three to lour years.

A parking shortageis expectedr.r'hile the campus movesforr.r'ardwith its masterplan, which is a vision developedby the threeschoolsto increase academicspaceand connectAuraria with downtownoverthe next 2O years.

- "It's a shock,"dtector of parking for the AurariaHigherEducation CenterMark Callagbersaidof the increase."But it will be a biggershock if peoplecomedownhereand there's no parking."

Seventy percent of students, faculty and staff drive to the campus, according to Gallagher, and the increasesare expectedto generate more than $650.000 dollars in funds for the 2009 budgetyear.This is the secondincreasein tle last two years including a 25 cent hilce that occurred last year.

Chief financial officer of AHEC

SandraSalessaidsheplansto introduce the plan to the Auraria board of directorsApril 16 and a vote is expectedin May.As expected,some studentsopposethe increase.

"Studentsget chargedenough," saidfosh Hamilton,a Metro student and memberof the StudentAdvisory Committee to the Auraria Board.

"Student fees are increasing, and educationis gettingmore expensi\â‚Ź, and it's goingto continueto getmore expensive.

Wedon'tneedour parking goingup when gasis 54 a gallon."

While she is sympatheticto the students,Salessaid as the master plan movesforward,more buildings will bebuilt and additionalprograms will be developed, increasingenrollment and shrinking the availability of Auraria's parking. She also said right now the campusis ableto park 1OOpercent of the peoplewho drive to the campus,but alreadythereare problems for students who attend classesin the modular classrooms built to compensatefor the lack of space.

"The modulars are not the quality experiencewe want students to have," she said. "I would rather be proactive,as unpopular as ratâ‚Ź increasesuue, than be reactive with an evenworse situation," said Sales,

adding the bond debt for a new parking structure would cost roughly $900,000 to be fundedby the rate increase.It is uncertain where the structurewouldbebuilt, however.

Other options were considered for the predictedparking issue,such asshuttling overstudentswho would park at InvescoField. Salessaid she believesa parking feeincreaseis the best solution and shuttling students from otler placesraisesquestionsof salety as well as further distancing studentsfrom the campus.

Still, Hamilton saidSACABwould look into otheroptionsto avoidan increasein parking fees,which faculty and staff membersopposeaswell.

Spanish instructor Michael Noricks, who parks in the Tivoli lot, said he would quit &iving to the campusiI ratesincrease. "ff it goesup, I will go backto the train." he said.

In an effort to aid studentswith the financialburdenof parking,Gallagher said AHECwould continue to offer a discount for individuals that carpool,which is current$ 50 cents in Lot E and 2 5 centsin lots R and D. And even with increases,Sales said people have to recognizeparking at Auraria is still cheaper than any'whereelsedovrntown.

Anti-abortion display sparks debate ByDREWJAYNES ajayneslomscd.edu A graphic anti-abortionexhibit invadedthe campusquad in an attempt by an aDli-abortionurganization to elicit discussions with studentswalking pastAprii 14 and 1 5.

The display was promoted by' JusticeFor All, a group invited to campusby studentorganizationPro Life Ambassadors.The displaywas a three-sidedportable billboard on which graphic pictures of aborted fetuses were depicted. drarving mixed reactionsfrom studentsand visitors.JFHsmessagewas split into three sections:"Humanity of the Unborn Child." 'Abortion" and "Do no harm."

Volunteersfor the event were brought in by JFAto opendialogues with passing and interested students. About 80 volunteerscircled the exhibit. engagingstudenlsin conversations and askingwhat they thought.

"I think it's really gruesomeand graphic, but it's reality, and that's why we're here,"JFAvolunteerBritney Smithsaid.

In addition to opening discussionswithstudents,IFAoffered"Free SpeechWalls."which werescattered aroundthe park.Messages ranging from "Keepyour handsoff my body" to "I approvethis message"n'ere scrawiedon them. A voting table allowedpeopleto vote on whether abortion should be made illegal or not.

A heateddiscussionlastingmore than an hour alsocommandedinrerestat the errhibit.WaiterVizcainu.a Metro student, and Trent Horn, a ItA staITer,argued the importance of including certain information, which wasmissingfrom the display.

Vizcaino's argument was essentially basedon the fact that |FAdid not includeinformationregardingthe underlyingcairsesof abortion.

"The causesof theseabortions are 90 percentsocioeconomic,"he said, "and that information is not rellectedhere."Horn counteredthat JFAspurpose as an educational organization was to inform people of the effectsof abortion.not necessarily the causes.

At one point, Vizcaino suggested that fFAs messagewas "shock and awe" activism,and that IFA was attempting to misidorm, not inform.

He did, however.concedethat abortion was a problem in needof a solution.

"The billboard is iust here to bring out a dialogue," Horn said.

'Abortion is one of the mostpresshg moral issuesof all time."

Therewai also someopposition to the exhibit, mainly organized around a table set up next to the park by Pro ChoiceColorado,an organization that believeswomen have

Students who are interested in enrolling in the IDP can attend an information sessionthat is held regularly thmugbout the year to begin the processof enrollment.

Full-time advisers and facu-lty mentors who are expertsin the students' field of study are available to guide students in choosing their courses.

Studentsare permitted to inyite a community consultant who is prac-

ticing in the field of the student'sinterest to provide additional help and guidancein planning a degree.

More importantly, students are required to r,rrite a rationale in n'hich they thorouglrly describetheir field of study, their goals and why they have chosenthe specificcourses.

God'swrath Godah,vaysPunishesPeoPlewho adopt a senseof absoluteright€ousnessin their own actions.That is lvhy Dick Cheney'sheart is failing and the reasonwemay belucky enoughto see himdieinthe nearfuture.Thatiswhat I believethis week,and why not?

Godhasalwaysbeena wonderful excusefor human eufferins andl am.. . without a better $elanation than the weight of His A.bnighty Wrath for the miserablybad karma that has befallenthe UnitedStates.

Of course,I could never go asfar as someand claim to have found Jesus someplace,or allegethat I have developedan irrevocable certainty aboui iire existenr.x oi his iather.

But it makesenough sense,{or now to simply comment on the fact that I. cannot deffnitively prove religious peopleto be any lesscompetentthan prehistoricbarbariansor evenquantum physicists- though I do firmry believethat the religious are scum any mor.e,fian they can prow their worth td our species.Which isn't much, as far as I'm concerned,but I rbsolveto give due credenceto the people'sbelief in Cod, if only just to makemyseUfeelasthough he is after Dick Cheney.

Humanity's errors never fail to ccnfrm as their proge.mtorsarrogant peoplewho feel so inclined by what they almost always rBfer to as the Will of Godas iustification to act out in a mmpletely irrational manner.Thke,for example,the Crusades, the annexation of Africa and even the cowardlywar in haq. Godis and alwayshas been the ultimate scape-

goatfor humanity's inhumanity, and I'm quite sure that he must be very angry about it.

That is why, with any luck, Mr. Cheney'sheart will explode in his chest,and nobody wen remotely a.f. filiated with the hawk division of the Bush administration wiJl erreragain know nleasurein Me. God never wanted Hitler to slaugbter all of the Jews.Indeed,as Mark Twain put it, they are his "chosengerms"within the great "bottle of microbes"that is the human race.So he turned Hitler into a suicidal drug addict and forced shame and death upon those and the descendentsof ihosewho follolvedanfihing he said.

King Leopold'smissionarieswer€ employedfor no other purposethan to convince peoplethat Godwas behind the throne. Indeed,few natives in Alrica during the seventeenthcentury were likely to forecastthe very real tbreat of ligbtly coloed, ravenous maniacs from beyond the sea.

But the white devil arril'ed in {orce, raping the continent inside and out in the narneof Godand Civilization.

Many of the invadersdied of things like.malaria and scarlet fever, but enough remained to completely annex the entire continent. Now Africans fight endlessly amongst themselves,and when they are not waging war over resources,they are hansmitting AIDS to one another.

That is no joke, There was little reason for any one of the 1O,OO0 pre-colonial states or polities in AIrica to have assumedtheir futwe to be filled with slavery,disease,rape,

fortough'Bride' inunexpected comedy ByNICGARCIA ngarci20omscd.edu Tori Spellingbelievesher character Alex in the upcomingmovie "Kiss the Bride" is the one most similar to her shehaseverplayed.Alex is naive, sometimesdiey, but sfong and wise nevertheless,especially when confronted with a challenge.

"She'svery honest with herself, but maybeshe'sa lot strongerthan I am," Spellingsaid.

In the movie,Alex is setto marry her boyfriendRyan (playedby fames O'Shea). Howevex Matt (Phillipp Karner), Ryan's high school friend and lover, has other plans in mind.

A magazineeditor,he decidesit is his duty to rescuehis former boy'friend from what he believeswill be a sham marriage. But Alex takes a liking to Matt, and while he kies to rekindle the flame he once sharedwith Ryan, all three must confront who they really are and what they really want.

Frivolous investing frivolous demands spending l.n Februaryof 2008, President George\41Bush and the U.S.Congressapproveda $168 billion economic stimulus plan to help counter tlre effectsof the recessionin America. It includes tax rebatesfor American citizens and families, sort of like a rescuemission for U.S.citizens,Imaginethat.

The plan is supposedto give rebates of up to $600 lor individuals and $l,2OOfor couples,not to mention an exfa $3OOper child (if you haveany).

Bush'sreasonfor giving citizensa tax breakis that the public will spend it as avid consumers,In his State of the Union address,he said,"theserebates will begin reaching American familiesin May,And when the money reachesthe American people,we expect they will useit to boostconsumer spending, and that will spur job creation,aswell."

But if you find yourself receiving your check from the man himself via the U.S.mail, I've thought of somewaysyou can spendthat small arnount of dough. By the way, the checks will go out separatelyfrom

your tax refunds, and, more than likely,you will not seethem until June or July Don't forget, if you are a student you can file for the Hope karning Credit(whichguarantees$1,500)or the LifetimeIrarning Credit(iumors, seniors and graduates),That extra cashwill go a long way.

SoI've ponderedthe waysI would spendmy money,And here is what I cameup with.

Vacation is alrmaysnumber one on my list, so this surnmer,do something for yourself and seesomething new It neverhurts to try A trip to CostaRica! A flight will run you lessthan $400 for a roundtrip ticket from Denver,and you can rent a car for about $24 a day.Trek to Tarnarindo,where you can stay at a bed and breakfastfor only $14 per night and surf with somecool locals.

Our dollar hasn't been very strong thesedays,but in CostaRica we get more for our money.

Or you can go to the Caribbean sideand makeout like a bandito with gorgeousocean views and beauliful black sand. There is so muqh to see.

He graduatedtom EvergreenState College, Olpapia, Wash.,with a doublemajor in sociology and audioengineering.He hasno formal haining in photojournalism and only a few semestersof classes,online resourcesand practice in the field-Zoriah believes"there aresomany waysof goingabout this work - no right way and no wrong way,just dilferent ways. I study every da5z"His mentorsinclude photographersAmi Vitale and CbrisWalton,who playedimportant roles in his ilevelopment.

His imagesare dark. Not in tonality but in content, where the underworld of tragedy and the myst€ry of the unknown becomeMe-sulfering shapesbefore his lens.

Zoriah has taken it upon himself to document the livesof peoplearound the Slobe;assignmentj from within rather than assignmentsftom editors.He usesthe cameraas a tool to "grab the viewer by the heart and pull them into a world they may otherwiseneversee."

His work takesmore than toiling in extreme conditions.It takesmental preparationand more importantly, dedicationto the subjectand lettlng goof himself.Hespen<ls days,or evenweeks,with his subjectsto capture the real essenceof their lives,He dreamsto changethe world through the photographshe makes.

"I want peopleto rcaljzn.that their actions and their choicesallect peopleall over the world.

Weareall corurected.I would loveto takea photograph that would end all wars, but all I can hope for is taking photographsthat remind peopleof the honors of war and help preventfuture ones," he said.

This young American haswon many photograply awardsandyet mostof his work ispublished in Europe.He admits he has never publishedhis $lar or conflict photographsin the U.S.and relies mostlyon his websiteto tell his stories.

Before becoming a professionalphotoiournalist Zoriah workedin disastermanagementand humanitarian aid in developingcounkies for the RedCross.

"Photographyfor me is a tool, onethat allows me to shedlight on critical socialiszuesand hopefully bring about change. I believethat I cottld use the power and emotion of the still image to educatepeopleabout suffering in the developing world,"he said.

Zoriah admitsth?itit is not easyto photograph war and he prefersto stay where he photographs because"coming back to the U.S.is iust too hard of a hansition."

"I believe the point of my work is to help people and educateWestern eyesto what goes on in the world, sohaving a purposehelpsme get through the difrculties. Yes,it is dangerousbut ignoring important issuesdue to fear ls not right, or at leastnot my style. Peoplelive out their lives in war zones;all I do is work in thern. It is the least i can do."

Askedif his photographsare worth a thousandworils,he answers,"Sometimesmore,sometimesless- it dependson the photo.I think a more interestingquestionis 'doesa photo everlie?'The answerto that is yes.A photo is a moment in time - it is impossibleto tell the whole story in a sixtieth of a second."

He is brilliant at communicating worldwide issueswithin the commonlanguageof the photographicframe.His tenderphotographssurrounding AIDS speakto the massaudiencewho might keeptheir eyesclosedand live with the perception that theseissuesare just far enough alvay from them to ignore, until one day when the disease personallyalTectstlem.

"We will seemore and more things affectus.

If you ignore someone'sproblemslong enough, there is a good chance those problemswill becomeyour own," Zoriah said.

He hasseenpeoplein troubled regionswhere they haveno money or powerbut are happy and view life as a privilege. He admits that children have admirablestrength especiallyin the war re

"You can ffnd children in the absoluteworsf possiblesituations, playing, laughing and having the besttime.Their spirits areremarkablc yet alsolcry fragile- somethingI Fy to show in ey work," he said.

Hehopesthat hisimagesevokeemotionsfrom viewersand inspirethem to help others.

"I tbink this is the wonderful thing about photography. People learn ftom images. They make peoplequestion lvhat is happeningin the world and show them things they may otherwise nev€rsee."

Zoriah fundshis work through donationsand granb from individuals and organDatiorx. The most diftcult part of working with his subjectsis that they often do not cooperat€w L him, $'hb\ nrakesit harderto iliiument thtirlives.

"There areexceptionsto ttlis rule, but I think a lot of peoplebelievejournalists profit from others' pain and don't want to havemuch to do with them." he said.

Anger and the priceof grain Too much news is bad for the health, and asa confessed newsjunky I shouldknow.It is not only rrrmmagi4g through such distastefr content that shortens the news junkie's life, but the true danger of news is a rare phenomenon called the apocalyptic fuIrt bulb of doom-Evenin the most mundanestory there lurks a mysterious and powerfuldanger.

And so it was for me this last weekend.Partaking in my Sunday ritual of spendingat least two good hours with the week's heacllines,I wassitting at my comput€r,Iistening to music and drinking sweetgulps of my tasty mffee beverage,when the light appearedaboverry head.

Choking on my coffee,I irnmediately sat up in my chair. The burning emberfrom my cigarettefell into my lap, causingme to quickly spread my legswhich then sent my right toe against the computer's start button.

Bending forward to find the ash, I then knockedovermy coffee, The flickering screenand the music quickly shut down, and the room was silent but for the solnds of dripping and the shange man crawling and cursing on the floor. And all becauseof the price of grain in Haiti.

Prot€sts against an almost 50 percent jump in lood prices since a year agohad developedinto viole[ce and looting Mobs hied to storm the.

Of course,rioting h Haiti, I am sad to sa]1is not particularly shocking, Haiti is not known as the picture of political hanquility. The country seemsto be either allergic !o government or excepfionally short on patience for comrpt and inemcient politicians.

It was the realization that prices here, too, had gone up and what I read next that was the proverbial radio in the bathwater, sefting off a chain reaction that alnost set my own houseon ffre.

Perhapsno other day is in such needof emotional and political overhaul. And this i5 o(actly the reason to comeout and party this Sundayat Civic Crnter Park. If you can avoid the buy-one€et-one-ft€e sales offers at every local pipe and gift store, there will be sweetskunky smokein the air.

Plenty of mystery srrrounds the origins of the steet term 420, but it is a calling similar to the Jesusfish or Balman's spotlight. It means "hey man, arc you cool?" in that "Daz€d and Confused"kind of way It's on clothing lines,bumper stickers,craigslistroommateadsand evenpadrandlff signs.the point is, to quotePlacebo, 'A friend in needis a fiiend indeed, but a ftiend with rryeed is befrer."

But Me&o head tennis coach DaveAlden has thoughts of revenge on his mind.

Alden is not forgetting about the seasonfinale, or the first muple of iounds in the Rocky Mouirtain Athletic ConferenceTournament, but he has visions of a potential rematch against Nebraska-Kearney in the tournament championship.

"Coachessayyou shouldtakeone gameat a time," Alden said. "But we want another shot at Kearney" Meho men's tennis team lost its only conferencematch of the season againstthe Lopersand that one lossmay keepthe Roailrunnerslrom earning aNo, 1 seedinthe conference tournament. But the lossto Kearney on April 4 has pushedMetro to play their besttennis of the season.

"We started out strong and then weprobablyplayedour worst match," Alden said about being shut out by CSU-Pueblo, 9{, in the 6nal game.

The bad finish on Sundayhasthe women eagerto prove that they are better than their recentperformance.

'We definitely have the potential to beat anyone in the conference," Meho women'sco-captainMiha Hirad said.

The win against the Mustargs displapd the potentialthat tle Meho womencouldride into the conference tournament. 'iWe want it so bad," Hirad said.

"We'resohungry for it," Both the Roadrunners men's and women'ssquadsplay the cellardwelling CougarsApril 18, lessthan a week before the RMAC Tournament. The women are ready to prove they can play with all opponentsin the conference.

The men want to prove they can beat Kearney,and they're not about to dancearound politewordsto prove their determination.

"We want to kick their ass," Meyer said.
