Recycling bins sproutingup acrossAuraria

By ROCHELLESMOIINSKI rsmolins@mscd.edu Auraria's Sustainable Campus Program continues to grow, with 3,0O0 new recycling bins arriving soonto savereusableitemsfrom ending up in the landfill.

The program,which is dedicated to renewableenergy for Auraria, set its sights on a comprehensiverecycling program as its first foray into campussustainability.

The 34.S-gallon, bright blue. metal bins, due to arrive later this month or in early December,were paid for with $I0O,O0Oin student feesapprovedSept.12 by the Student Advisory Committeeto the Auraria Board.

The bins will be situatedaround campusnext to trashcans and decorated with a logo designedby Metro art students. The bid to manufacture the bins went to High Country ChemicalSupply.

Lia Peckman, chair and UCD representativeof SACAB, has been working on the, proiect for mcre than a year and a half, continuing the work begun by her predecessor, Shaun Lally, who came up.with the ideafor the recyclingeffort.

Beginning this year on Earth Day with the distribution of slightly smaller, desk-side bins around Auraria, the program has been describpdby Peckmanas "incredibly " successful.

'Alrready,we seena 6Opercentdiversion(of wastegoingto the landfill) in the Tivoli and about a 4O percent diversionfor the rest of the campusl" she said. "We don't even have all of the buildings participating yet."

The Administration, Central Classroom, Facilities Management, Plaza and Tivoli buildings have all seenthe first waveof bins sincethey were initially disnibuted this spring, and the King Centeris next in line.

Prior to the launch of the recycling prognm, Auraria olficia]s estimatedthecampuscontributed1,300 tons of trash to landfills eachyear.

The bins allow for single-stream recycling,a systemthat doesn'tre-

quire items to be sortedbut instead allows them to be mixed together, increasing the amount of material recycled, Paper, magazines,cardglassand plastic board,newspapers, containerscan all be disposedinto the bins.

But the road to turning green was slowedby a web of red tape. A lot of research,touring recycling facilities in Denver,collecting leesfrom the threeinstitutionsand discussion went on beforeAlpineWasteand Recycling,the largestrecyclingprovider in the Denverarea.wascontractedto recyclethematerials.And not all studentsarein supportof the program.

Becausemy mother couldn't give me a solid reason based on policy, but instead based her vote on feelings, I harkened back to that fifth-grade sitdown and concluded that there was some kind of racial thing going on.

Playdirectortryingto makean impact

BY MIGUELA DE SANTIAGO mdesant2@mscd.edu In an empty conferenceroom on the third levelof the Tivoli, Metro studentsand amateur actorsare hard at work in preparation for "On the Grove,"a polemicproduction by the Black Student Alliance.

Setin south-sideChicago,the play dealswith a man who has a criminal background and is plagued by inner-city shuggles.

He turns to religion to better himsell and his situation.

Hashim Hakim, a new student at Metro and new residentto Denver,is producing, directing and acting in the play.

Hakim moved from Chicagoto discussdiversity and experience a new environment in Denver.With only two semesters under his belt, Hakim has already managedto make an impact on campus.

Iast sâ&#x201A;Źmester,he ran for presidentof the Black StudentAlliance at Meho and won.

"I r,tanted to bring appeal to the BSA by doing things like plays," Hakim said, "do sometype of entertainment insteadof the ritual, rhetorical things that can go on."

He addedthat his goal is to reversetle unpopularity of the club by makingit into a moresubstantialorganization.

With the power of opportunity in mind, Hakim personally chosecabinetmembersof BSAto pull double duty and fill roles

in "OnTheGrove"aswell.

Hakim saidhe will try to recreateSpikeLee'sability to find a creativegroup of actors and repeatedlywork with them.

The 38-year-oldson of a Pentecostal,Hakim plays the lead role of Adam and supervisesa diversifiedcast that is working togetheron this controversialplay.

AlessandraVitale, a Metro student and actressin the play, said it is controversial berauseit involvesreligion, touches on diversity and showsthe changeand transformation peopleundergoto get where they are going.

Vitale describedthe charactersas"catâ&#x201A;Źrpillars that turn into butterfliesand fly in tleir own direction."

Hakim borrowed actors, stagedhectors, lights and sound from Metro, UCDand CCDto producea play "about changeand forgiveness,redemptionand things of that nature."

His hiphop group, named"OddSquadd,"will providemusic to accompanythe play.

He and his sister,TowandaMuhammad, co-wrote the play and performedit selen timesin Chicagowith exhaordinary success, GabrielleHakim, wife of HasNm Hakim and an actressin the play, said they started rehearsingin Septemberand had to put someof their own money toward the production and advertising.

Time is also a big factor for everyoneinvolvedwith the pmduction.

"It's very hard, very hard, All of us work and all of us are students. I'm married with a family, so it's hard that I go to school, then go to work, then get out of work, and come back here and rehearse," Hashim Hakim said.

He said his vision reciprocatesthe play; personal shuggles do not shadowhis optimism for changeand chance.

"I wanted to show that if everyhuman beinghad the ability to have an evenplaying field, we could do anything."

A meet and greetfollor,l'sthe show,allowing the patrons and cast to iDtermingle.

For the most part, where there's film, there's music. That being said, it makes perfect sensefor the DenverFilm Festival independent to showcase bandsand artists right alongsidet}le normal fare of movies and documentaries.

"There'ssuch a logicalassociationbetween independentfilm and independent music," said festival director Britta Erickson. "What we hope for is that filmmakers we are bringing in will discovernew local talent."

She added that several bands will be showcasedat 3 Kings Tavern,something that has beenin the works for quite some nme.

"This yeai, we have the right group of folks who really know the local music scene,"Ericksonsaid.

Includedin that groupof peopleis programmingcoordinatorKarlaRodriguez.

Rodriguezsaid that it makesperfect local bandsin the same senseto shor,tcase veinasindependentfilms. "[t's iust sostrangethat you havethese but no one bringsit all todifferentscenes, gether,which is a shame,"shesaid."There is so much talentand somuch willinsness to work together,and why not?"

That driveto work togetherhasturned into somethingwonderfulfor Denverband BadLuck City.

The band'has beentappedto perform

a live set alongside the work of Bruce Bickford,who is known for making music videosfor artistssuchas Alice Cooperand Frank Zappa.This time, though, Bad Luck City will be making music to go with Bickford'sfilm Cas'l'.

"We'regoinglo playour musicin ow style," said Bad Luck City guitarist fosh Perry. "We're really excited about the op portuniry" Perry said the bald is honoredto be playing music for the film, but the process wasn'teasy.

"It's beendilficult to put together,we didn't havea lot of time," he said.'About 75 percentof the musicis brandnew."

Bickford himself had not heard Bad Luck City'smusic,but his assistant,Brett Ingram,saidhe sawa connectionbetween the band'smusicandBickford'sanimation style.

Ain't No Surprise This Detroit-born. San Franciscodeveloped, three-piece combo smacks of dirty, garage-rock blues aliin to another of Moto$n's sensations,irunortal indie rockers,The \{/hite Stripes.

At just 34 minutes long, Ain't No Surprise seemslike it may just be a sophomoric.albeit moment:rily brilliant, synopsisof things to come from Leo.But the album is much more textured than mere minutes might suggest,highlighted by short bursts of despondencyand sad whimsy'.blended with ballads full of introspect into frontman Daniel James' (Leopold, if you will) strugglesnith inaer peace.The shining optimism and hoppedup tempo of songs such as the frolicking title track. hindsight anthem "ComeBack (Nolt'That I'm Here)" and the wild, porchstomping "Katie tr{ae" are quickly dimmed b1'the darker forlorn folk of following tracks "Mean Ol'Train" and "Pretty Neat." Like fellow I\4otown ax man fack White, Jamesweius his blues influ''Sun's Only enceson his sleeve(such as in one-night stand jirm Promise" and aforementioned"Train"), and his bleeding-heart sensitivity can be heard in his choked-up l,wics. Sounding at once tortured and wise,Jamesgivesa great deal of insight into his personal demons with the opening starua of "One for Me to Find:" "I've got theseoutlarvs chasing me/ And these lan'men won't let me be/ It's hard to make amends/ With myself and my deadfriends.

SebastienGraingerand the Mountoins Thosefamiliar with the nois5rsexl' mayhem of Death From Above 19 79 may be a little surprised when listening to the debut from the band's former drummer and vocalist Sebastien Crainger. Sebastien Grainger and the Mountains shows listeners a completely new side of the percussionist.The album shoncases a much more matue Grainger than anything he recorded with former bandmate and present MSTRKRFT mastermind Jesse Keeler. He's expanded his use of instruments too, which gives the record a more complete and well-rounded sound. That's not to say that Grainger has completely abandoned his dance-floor sensibilities.About half the album is dedicatedto shaking your ass,especiallythe closer "Renegade Silence." which is almost more danceable than Death From Abol'e 1979. The real treasureson this record though are the ballads. The softer side of Grainger is a really nice change of pace.and it also is a chance for him to show off his songrvriting chops.Highlights include "(Are There) !!hys to Come Home?" where the frontman channels Borvie with his vocals, but the screaming climax shorvs that the tlrainger of old is still alive and kicking. The song also usespiano and backing vocalsltith great emotional effect.The strongesttrack on the alburn is defi' nitely the anthem ?\merican Names. It is just a r,rell-crafted pop song with emotional lyrics. a nice ddving beat and a big rousing chorus. Sebastien[irainger and the \lountains shon's that Grainger has grou'n a lot sincethe brerkup of Death From Above19 79. and that is certainlynot a bad thing. . Mp

team effort. 'I think the whole team had a good gameagainstMines, and that wasthe foundationof the win," Sandquistsaid.

The mantra among hockeyplayers is Canadianplayershavea tougher style of play than Americans.

Though, the huth of that statement is debatable,Metro forward and C.anadian citizen Troy Oakes'iniuries makehim standout.

As one-of the smaller playerson the team, the 5' 10" forward tips the scalesat 15Opounds. _ Assistantcoach Brady Peecher iokesthat he only weighs150 "when he'swet."

In spiteof, and in part due to his small size,Oakeshas playedall season with two very painful iniuries.

Two years ago, Oales attempted a check on a player about 40 pounds heavierthan himsell "I bouncedofl the guy and flew into the boards at 10O miles per hour." Oakesexplained."[ brokemy collarbone and the growth plate in my back. The ligaments weren't in very goodshapeand the collar bone did not healcorrectly."

Though he is missingpart of his collarbone, he has played in all 12 gamessofar this season.

However,.during last Saturday's gameOakessuffereda laceratedfinger.X-rayswere negative,but he will sit out next weekend'sroad games against University of Wyoming, though heiis expectedto travel with the team.

His regimen after practice is to spendsome time in the hot tub, take lbuprofen, go directly to bed, and hopehis arm is mobilethe next morning. At the end of the season, will be forcedto have surgery, Oal<es which will keephim from playing his secondlove golf. ' "It was a tough choicebetween golf and hockey I ptay golf competitively, but I don't think I am good enough to go very far with it," Oal<es said.

Thisis not evenOakes'firstmajor iniury he's playedthrough. He also playeda whole seasonon a fractured ankle. Unfortunately for the sophomore, he now has to wear customfitted hockey skatesand has a bone spurto showfor his toughness.

When asked why he fights through all of this pain, Oakes'responseis simple.

Anna Mapes is not the typical collegevolleyballplayer.At 29, sheis the seniormemberof Metro'svolleyball team. Shemight bemarried with two childr€n, but that doesnot affect how determinedand dedicatedsheis to the Roadrunners. wasborn in Chaska,Minn. _lrdapes In the sixthgrade,Mapesbeganplaying volleyball,When askedhow she first becameinterestedin volleyball, she said the little town where she grew up was volleyball-centeredand all her friendswereinto volleyball.

Mapesplayedclubrmtil hersophomore year at ChaskaHigh School.

Mapesgraduatedin 1996 with outstandingacademicsand with letters in volleyball,track and field, diving and gymnastics.

Aft€r graduating, she attended the Universityof Mississippiwhere she continued playing volleyball.

Mapes soon returned home and transferredto the Universityof Minnesota.

But before long she decided to leave college and settle down. She married her husband,Andrew, and had two children, Ava and Liam.

Mapesstill enjoyedvolleyball, so she returned, not as a player,but instead as an assistantcoach for Fort Lewis in Durango, where she spent two lears recruiting and coachingsome of the sameplayersMetro recently playedagainst.

After much discussionand gain-

reer.

Mapes came to Metro in t}le springof 2008. TeamcaptainsAmy Watanabe and Danielle St. Pierre said the team welcomedMapeswith open arms.

Head coach Debbie Hendricks said the t€am did a good iob having openmindsto somebodythat wasn't even closeto being in the samelife stageasthe othergirls.

"Of course,our social circles are different, but still; I believeI haye a very closebond with the girls.They evencallmeMommaMapes.Ibelieve they look to me for advicesometimes or lr'hen they needhelp with something," Mapessaid.

Conventioiralwisdom.wouldsay that the tmditional collegeathletes in their early 2Oswould have their bodiesin better shape than a 29.year-oldmother of two, but Mapesis not sosure.

"It takeslonger for my body to warm up, but I believeI am in better shape than I have been in forever.I slrnt over one year working with a personaltrainer in the weightroom alonebeforereturning.I believeI am a stronger person now than when I was 2Oyearsold."

Mapescouldn't protect her body from iniury, however,asshesprained her ankle during the-third gameof the seasonagainstSt.Martinsin Hawaii.

"It was scary when we saw her

wasn't able to play. We really miss Anna's presenceout on the court," Watanabesaid.

Two weeksalberbeingableto play again on her ankle, Mapesreceiveda concussionin a car accident' After missing a good portion of the season,Hendricks decided it would be best for her volleyballcareer to file medicalabsencethrough the NCAA. That way. she still has two years of playing eligibility. She continues to practice to the best of her ability with the team and is always on the sidelinescheering on her teammates.

Mapessdidthat er€nthough volleyballis a very importantpart o[ her life,shedoesnot plan on playingprofessionally altercollege.

Mapesplanson earning her degreeand being a mother again.She said that shedoesnot get much time with her childrenand husbandnow that volleyball and school take up rnostof her schedule,but shewould not be able to do all this without the support of her husband. Mapes is maioring in h€alth care management at Metro and is a iunior.

Coaches and players describe Mapesas "committed," "motivated" and "determined." Mapes describes the Roadrunnersvolleyball team as "talented."

Mapeshasfoundher placein the team, and the team has found their placewith Mapes.

"I loveplaying hockey It is worse for me to watch than it is for me to play hurt."

But the Edmontonnative is used to being tougb. He thinks hockeyis a lot rougher in Canada.

"When I moved to the United States six years ago, I noticed that in'Canada, the coachesare tough.

They will pick a 245-pound guy over a more talentedplayerjust sothat he can go after the other players.In the United States,hockeyis more of a finessegame."

Pain is not Oakes'gnly problem this season.Heis disappointedby his lack of points in 2008. Currently, he is tied for secondon the ti:am with 10 points,includingthreegoalsand seven assists,averaging a point per game.

"This seasonhas beenbrutal for me. I am used to scoring twice as much asI am now."

But this seasonhas not beenall bad for the snall forward. He has enlbyedpraisefrom his coachesand teammates.He is [ul[ of compliments when it comesto his teammates.

"We are really coming together as a team. lt's been tougb having such a tough scheduleat the beginning of the season,but we got a lot of talent and I love being with these guys. I got all their phone numbers so we can hang out outsideof practice."

Oakescommitmentto.his team shows.CaptainThrner Bahn mentioned Oakesas one of the stars of last week's9-6 victory overUniversity of Utah, though he only finished with one assist.

DefensemanChris Koppel, who is also playing with an injuy, sald, "Oakesis cbronically one of the better playerson the team."

Oakesis also one of the iokers on the team,particularlyduring dry land workouts.

Even though he is disappointed with his statusso far this season,his style of play coversall aspectsof the game.Helovesto checkin spiteof his injuries, play defense,or do whatever he's calledto do.

"I do loveto do somefancy dekes and scoregoals,however,to show off to the girlsin the stands."

Though Oakes' worries about his statisticsand iniuries, he is very fit even for his small size.He is 150 poundsof lean muscle.At only 18 years old, the sophomore should haveplenty of opportunities to demonshate his toughness and athleti cism in the future.
