DNC UPDATE WORK SCIENCE ON

"The approximate cmt to delay consbuction lior a weekis $200,000, becauseit would involvemobilization and demobilizationof the constuction crew" lennings said. Shutting down construction would alsohaveimFactedtle expectedcompletiondate,pushing back the openingof the buildiig. Consffuction on the Science Building is slated for completion in late2009. Security guards will be at the conskuction site each night after constructioncrewsfinish working for the day.

There is an empty storeftonton the secondfloor of the Tivoli, ivith only a note tapedto a door explainingthe vacancy. STA Trar€l lnc. announced the closure of 48 retail stores around the country on June 27, including the Auraria Campuslocation, according to the note, "Theseclosuresare part of a strategic transformation that will enableSTA Travel to increaseour cost emciencies in today's economic environment and focus the future growth strategy on our call center, website[and] strategic retail locations,"the note read. Auraria's branch wasn't the only Colorado location closed. The storeftonts at Cu-Boulder and ColoradoState Uni!€rsity were also shut down. Amanda Webb, the corporate communications coordinator for STA Travel, said the closures were unfortunate, considering the company's close relationship with campus students, teach-
ers and programs. "The STA Travel branches ltorked with several surrounding campuses and had strongrelationships\r'ith many organizations on campus, including study abroadrmd international studies programs,"Webbsaid.

Keep individual ihterestswhile dating ByJfBARTHELEMY jtbart221-emscd.edu Ilave you ever been on a date that you had high hopes for and within 15 minutes realizedthat your date,or at least you, neededcounselingfor being there? That's just a date; lord krows $,hq€ +hingswill leadif your datebecomesyour relationship. Rick Ghent has a Master of Arts in counseling and is a licensedprofessionalcounselor in Colorado. Over the years, he has had some inter€sting encounters. A gentleman brought a bottle of wine to a session,sayiD.git would help him to open up; anotler time, a femaleclient madehim laugh so hard he steppedon a duck. Well, you get the picture.

. We should never assume we know the personor the personknows us, . We should allow the person to learn about him or hersell through the relationship. . We should be willing to let the person teach us about him or herself. . If there are children involved, they shou.ldnot get in the way of the relationship, . Always keepour individual intereststhat are outsideof the relationship. . Keep family out of your relationshipmatters. . Understandthat the sexes function dillerently in terms of relationshi6. . Find mutual activities within the relationship. . Cheatingis not about the relationshipitself, . Get the help required to keep a relationship successful soonerrather than later. Theseare iust someoII the
things to consider when your head (or gut) starts to race with ideas conceming your dateor relationship.When out on a date and stuck for top ics of conve.rsation,ntry not ask about your date's family of origin or cheating bistory? I mean, one should not be shy when h"ying to make a Fusted friend. You might start with, "hey, let's let each other learn about oursehas." Your date will probably suggest1ou seek professionalhelp and split in rapid fashion. I also asked Ghent what are three of the most common issues people neglect when consideringdating or relationships. One is that people don't lmow or understand how the person's family of origin impacts the individual and the rlack of understanding of a person's family of origin. It really can matter what stock your dateor partner is from. Another is the ability to listen to the person you ar€ dating. We may be ableto hear our parher, but are we skilled in the art of listening?I know I how listening to the music they like is hard enough. And finally, peopletend to have false expectationswhen dating. We may want to make our relationshipsfit our idealto the point of improsingour will on another individual - the square-peg-into-the-roundhole concept.Have you heard The Rolling Stones'song "No Expectations? " When Ghentand I finished our conversation, I was left with the thought that dating and relationships always give us the opportunity to leam about ourselves and other people.I won't ever really ffgure out other people,but I can put into practicesomewordsof wisdom Ghentimpartedto me, when it comes to dating and relationshipsas in life: "know thyself." wvrw.rickghent.com,3O32904229

>Colorado Lefsgetpolitical lettheirprotest bands songs beheard Everyone knows that music ard politics have been mlxing for as long as both have existed. From Woodie Guthrie to Public Enemy, musicians take it upon themselves to tell the world how it should be run. While they may not get as much airtime, local bands have j ust as much to say about politics as any national act, if not more. With the Democratic National Convention in town. here's a rundown of the top six local acts keepirg the lines of pol.itical conversahon in their music.

Once again, putting the blame of the lvorld's problems in the hands of the apathetic, Pitch lnvasion screams out. It's short, to-the-point and shrouded in bu?r'ing guitals.
