However,the study determinedthat W 2O2O,demand for parking will grow to 8,<[O0spaces. To meet the growing demand, a new parking structure will need to be built. The shucture will cost from $15,000 to $20,000 per spaceto build. "Hoping that the systemwill help Imy for the stucture, you haveto put

a down paymenton tbe construction costs," said Mark Gallagher,director of Auraria Parking and Transportation. The money from increasedfees would go toward a reservefund that would help pay for the parking structure, The reservefunds will be outlined within the budgetand regularly reportedon. Gallagherbelievesthat asthe collegesdecidehow they want their particular schools and communities to

"Meho is a school of opportunity," Harris said, "every feeincrease that goes unchecked is unacceptable." Gallagher,who did not view the rate changes until late March, felt getting the information to student's earlierwasdifficult due to the AHEC's budgetprocess.

getsinbedwithideaforcampus Metro3 hotel board ByDOMINIC GRAZIANO dgrazial-emscd.edu If you've ever wanted to stay the nigbt at Auraria, you'll soon be able to now that plans for an on-campus hotel havebeenapproved. The Metro Board of lYusteesauthorized the proposalfor a hotel and hotel leaming centerthat will beused as a working classroomfor Meho's hospitality deparhent at a June 4 meeting. At the board 6s€ring, Chad Gruhl, director of hotel management, laid out a tentafiveplan for the hotel and learning center.Gruhl went over the apprmimated space neededfor the hotel, as well as a tentative plan for the layout of the classroomsand hotel roorns. The hotel will be approximately 100,000 square feet, with 20,000 square feet dedicatedto a learning c€nter that will be used strictly for acadernlcpurposes. The learning center will house

severai classrooms,including labo ratories dedicatedto the different aspectsof hotel managementand food production,aswell asfaculty offices. "The entire proiect will cost roughly $ 34.2 million dollars in today's figrues." Gruh.l said. "$7.5 million for the hotel learning center, which will be raisedthrough the development office and $26.7 million for the hotel itself " Funding for the hotel has yet to be determined,but it will not be paid for with taxpayer dollars, according to Gruhl. The $26.7 million neededfor the actual hotel will come from a local or national hotel company.To find a companyto payfor the proiect,Gruhl said a Requestior Proposal will be submitted. "This way everybody has a fair game for it," he said. "We'll put advertisementsin newspapersand on the Internet. It is a bidding process." As of now thereis no solidlayout or blueprint for the hotel. Gruhl said.

Gruhl addedthat releasing preliminary plans would be unfair to companiescompetingfor the project. "There will be 12 floors.Nothing else has been solidified. We haven't releasedany blueprints or layouts," he said. Severaldillerent areasoDcampus were mnsideredaspokntial building sitesfor the hotel, including the area where the atbletic playing fieldscurrendy are. "The building will be built on parking lot R, on the corner farthest from campus.It will be right next to Indo," Grubl said. "The area is such an incrediblegatewayto downtown. Its location and visibili$ will be beneficialto the campusasa whole. "We did a feasibility study with the HRXC (Hospitality Real Estat€ Consultants) last summer," Gruhl said. "They found that without a question,that is the most feasiblelocation for a hotel," The hotel will slqnocketMeho's hospitality program,Gruhl said.

"There are roughly 200 hospita.lity programs in the counhy at this time and, without quesflon,this will put us in the top 20," he said. Gruhl addedthat the hotel proposalwasmodeledafter severalsimilar programsat collegeson the East Coast.No collegesin the West have an on-sitehotel. The addition of a hotel will put Metro aboveother similar programs in nearbystats. "This will make us the preeminent institution for [hotel] operation managersin the five statesarea." The closest school with similar plans is the Universityof NevadaIas Vegas. Gruhl said that the school is in the developmentstagesfor a hotel now that Harrah's agreedto provide $30 million in funding. At the board meeting, Gruhl's plan wasmet with somehesitationby boardmemberEugeneSaxe. Saxewas concerned about how the hotel would benefit the entire

studentbody and not just one department. "Id like to understand a litde more clearly,like to havea little more assuranc€.that we're not burdening ourselveswith something that doesn't function as elTectivelyin the interestsof the entire college" Sare said. the departuent of hospitality, toudsm and eventsmanagementat Metro is made up of more than 40O students,accordingto Gruhl. PresidentStephenfordan noted that the hotel and its facilideswould not solelybe usedfor the hospitality departnent. "Clearly, one of the problerns we're tying to solvewith this is we do not have any spaceon this campus !o host conferences, " fordan said. "This createsthe opportunity for any academicdepartrnentto host a major conference.Theyhavethe hotel space there. They have the meeting space there. That's part of what this space is mea to do,"

ByDEBBIEMARSH dmarsh8omscd.edu Auraria is dotted with lush, green lawns. Occasionally, dandelions invade the grass near the perimeter of campus. In early morning, before students arrive, one of two licensed workers at Facilities Managementdon a chemical suit, gloves and mask to apply a spray, called TYimec,which contains the most commonly used pesticide in the non-agricultural sector in the U.S.It's known as 2.4-D and it carries an BPAtoxicity rating of 1, the highest of four categories. Accordingto a report publishedin ErwircnmentalScienceand.Technology in 2O01,2,4-Dis popularbecatrse it's cheapand easyto produce.Its manufacturer is a $ 300 million yearlybusinessfor Dow AgroSciences, a maior producer,among others. 2,4-D (or 2,4didrlorophenoxy acetic acid) is produced in several forrhs. The diethylamine salt used at Auraria is the most toxic, according to BeybndPesticides,a watchdog group. It can cause irreversible eye damage.The group reports that 'inhalation generallyleadsto coughing, burning di-ine6 and loss of muscle coordination. Oral consumption irritates the digestivetract, results in nausea,diarrhea, vomiting and can lead to kidney and liver damage.2,4D is one of few herbicidesto cause hervous systemdamage;both diges-. tion and inhalation alTectthe central nervoussyst€m."

prressure,according to Beyond Pesticides.The EPAlists the chemical in classD indicating there is inadequate evidenceor not enough data. While grassy areas are directly a-ffectedby 2,4-D, there is also concern about it being an indoor air toxin. A 2003 study by Ruthann Rudelfound 2,4-D in the dust of 63 percent of sampledhomes. Levels of the chemical in air and household surfaces increased following lawn application of the herbicide in a 2OO1 study. This resulted in exposure levels that were 10 times higher than pre-application, and demon3trateshow easily the product entershomes. Many "weed and feed" products contain the chemical.

Two studies have shorrl'na link betweenhepafitis casesand "chronic oral consu.mptionof 2,4-D by golfers who habitually licked their golf !alls,". according to Beyond Pesticides. There are alternatlves to 2,4D. Many groups have begun questioning the use of any grsticides at school facilities. A March 2O07 booklet entitled, "Turning l.IY State Schools Away from Pesticide Use" advocates reducing or eliminating the chemicals.Twelvedishicts in the report were alreadypesticide-free. Nichols and McDonald both said that fertilized, well-watered grass was unlikely to be invadedby weeds. Pre-emergents,which prohibit the germination and growth of seedlings, are usedby Nichols on Auraria field.He alsoadvocatesthe time-honored method of popping dandelions out by hand with a gardening tool. Cloveoil, readily availableon ttre Internet, or householdvinegar can be employedfor spot applications.

Another study done in l99O found a 50 percentincreasein non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in farmerswho handle the herbicide. Reproductive toxicity has also been observed with the chemical. A 1991 study found that male farm sprayerso<posedto 2,4-D had lower spenn counts and ihcreased sperm abnormalities compared to unexposed men.
