Ibrahim explained that 477,906 people have fled Syria so far, with numbers climbing daily. The European Union has made a plan for only 120,000 refugees, numbers corroborated by the United Nations. Ibrahim shared the group’s mission with the crowd, saying they were calling upon the U.S. to take in 65,000 Syrians by 2016.

Coloradans rally for refugees at Capitol

<<PAGE 1 “I have friends that are in Greece and see people coming in from the thousands,” Ibrahim said. “I would like to be in a home where bombs are not dropping above me.” Lukac, who fled from Bosnia to the U.S. as a child and now studies at CU Boulder, echoed Ibrahim’s hopes for the refugees. “I grew up in the United States very aware of how lucky I was,” Lukac said. “I’m here because the children drowning in Syria could’ve been me.” Jennifer Gueddiche, director of the African Community Center in Denver which has helped resettle refugees since 2001, addressed not only her organization’s mission, but the misgivings people have about refugees. For those that would say refugees are lazy or would rather be here over their own homes, Gueddiche said, “You’ve never met a refugee.” “We are ready for the Syrians to arrive,” Gueddiche said. “We’re ready to welcome them into our homes.” The crowd cheered at Gueddiche’s remarks.

“I would like to be in a home where bombs are not dropping above me.” — Nadeem Ibrahim U.S. in 2010, echoed Gueddiche’s remarks. Accompanied by his two young sons, Timsina called for action on behalf of Syrians. “Let us be the first state to welcome Syrian refugees,” Timsina said. The event continued despite raindrops and dropping temperatures. Lukac sang, “This Little Light of Mine,” as volunteers lit votive candles in front of the State Capitol steps. “This world is such a hard, hard place some days,” Kassir said. “It makes you want to give up.” Kassir then urged the crowd to look around and notice that despite religion and race, they were there together in
compassion. As volunteers struggled to keep the candles lit, supporters descended the Capitol steps to help keep the lights going. Another musician sang and played Bob Marley’s “Redemption Song” on his guitar. For volunteer Tiffany Caudill, the song and the Syrian’s struggle, struck a personal chord. Caudill, who considered herself a “pretty big activist” in other areas prior to the event, couldn’t help but come to the Capitol. “Obviously, aside from the fact that we’re all humans, I’m a mom too,” Caudill said. “Half of those affected are children.”

Colorado Planned Parenthood “Pink Out” draws hundreds of supporters, protesters By Mary-Kate Newton mnewton5@msudenver.edu Donning fuschia T-shirts, balloons and banners, supporters of Planned Parenthood rallied across 250 U.S. cities Sept. 29 for national Pink Out Day. In Stapleton, the event echoed both national support and opposition for the organization, in lieu of the overruling of congress’s ban on abortions after 20 weeks of gestation and controversial footage that re-sparked national debate. Following videos procured by the Center for Medical Progress, the FBI warned Planned Parenthoods across the US of increased threats to the organization, including Denver and Colorado branches. The controversial footage shows Planned Parenthood physicians discussing compensation for fetal tissue. Though payment is legal as long as part of a donation program doesn’t yield a profit, public scrutiny over the tapes and the organization’s tissue donation practices has spread. Vicki Cowart, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains took the blocking of the 20-week ban as a victory.
“We will not give in,” she said to an intimate crowd of around 200 supporters at a park in Stapleton. “The doors will stay open and Planned Parenthood will stay.” She explained that the Pink out is a nation wide event, with over 250 cities participating in events similar to the one held in Stapleton. “Planned Parenthood started in Denver almost 100 years ago,” Cowart said, “when we realized there were women that had no idea how to control their fertility or how to have control over their bodies and health in that important way.” Cowart joined PPRM 13 years ago out of interest in women’s rights. “I’m passionate about making sure women participate in society. That’s the core: being in control of our bodies and having access to comprehensive healthcare.” Cowart said she considers Planned Parenthood to be a bystander between women and “bullies.” “Fundamentally, they don’t think women should have rights. It’s been that way for all 100 years, and it’s more of the same today,” she said. In response to recent threats to PPRM, Coward said though she sees an increase around elections, she is used to threats and
protests. “It’s normal noise. That’s all it is noise. Most people love and trust Planned Parenthood,” she said. At the Stapleton Pink Out, about a dozen protesters stood behind the small stage with signs depicting aborted fetuses and slogans against Planned Parenthood. Among them was protestor Tom Urn, who has been involved in the pro-life movement since the 1970s. “I’m hoping America does the right thing and bans abortion,” he said. “The news are forming interference, refusing to show pictures of aborted babies. It is a media cover up and a false comparison.” About the CMP videos, Urn said, “For the first time millions of Americans are seeing what abortion is like and they’re horrified.” He said the goal is to not only stop abortion, but to end Planned Parenthood as an organization, because providing contraceptives is part of the same mentality. “They’re linked, the contraceptive mentality and abortion. It says, ‘I am the Lord and master of life,’” he said, “That is not that far of a step to saying this is a life that wasn’t meant to be.” Reverend Amanda Henderson, Executive
Director of Interfaith Alliance of Colorado and parishioner at the Christian Church Disciples of Christ in Denver spoke at the Pink Out Sept. 29. “It makes me sad when the Bible is used to hurt when the primary message is one of love, compassion and grace,” Henderson said. “I wish this time was spent learning how to love and care for women and children rather than debate this issue.” Henderson said even in cases of abortion the government shouldn’t intervene in a woman’s decision. “97% of the work they do isn’t abortion, but comprehensive care.” Colin Stark was an attendee of the Pink Out, and said he not only donates to Planned Parenthood, but visits for personal health. “I’ve been going to them for years. It’s quick and easy, no wait time. They have solutions for women and men. They do great things,” he said. With him at the event was Rebecca Johnson from Boulder. “I feel like there is nothing more big government can do than telling someone what they can do with their own body,” Johnson said. “I think choice equals freedom. It’s an American right, and I think access to affordable contraceptives means less abortions in the long run.”

Protestors march uninformed
By Cassie Reid
creid13@msudenver.edu Local activists with model fracking rigs and banners marched from Commons Park to the State Capitol Oct. 5 protesting fracking and shaming businesses along the way. “We’re here to end fracking, it’s that simple,” said Gina Hardin, chair of 350 Colorado, a nonprofit climate change advocacy organization. The march was the final event of the national Stop the Frack Attack summit held in Stapleton, Colorado, Oct. 3-5. At three years old, Stop the Frack Attack is a coalition with one goal: stop all fracking. Like-minded people and organizations such as 350 Colorado, the Sierra Club and the Colorado Center for Renewable Energy Economic Development (CREED) participated in the summit. At least 150 marchers assembled props at Commons Park from 9 to 10:30 a.m. for the march down 16th Street, ending with a rally on the steps of the Capitol. “It’s about time we all unite, get people talking,” said Hope Bowker, a Sioux tribe member and activist. Hydraulic fracturing, fracking for short, is a method of obtaining natural gas used by 90 percent of the over 90,600 Colorado gas wells totaled by a Feb. 2015 Denver Post article.

“Essentially fracking is putting cracks in rock that let oil and natural gas, largely consisting of methane, into a pipe,” said Barbara EchoHawk, assistant professor in geology at MSU Denver. “It is an economic, efficient method of gathering fuel.” Liquids and sand are shot into the ground at high speeds and, as the liquid cracks sedimentary rock, the sand absorbs oil and is carried up the same pipe. The
process of fracking, however, was not in the minds of the activists marching. While fracking has existed for 60 years, large concerns about environment and health only surfaced during the 1980s when horizontal drilling became a regular fracking process. With the machine’s capacity to widen its range came increased fear about leakage. Several groups including researchers from the Colorado School of Public
Health have researched the impact of methane leaks on the environment and general, local health. Opponents’ greatest concerns are thinning ozone from the gas leaks, birth defects resulting to prenatal proximity to gas wells and groundwater poisoning. Giant figures labelled “ozone” and “methane” loomed over the crowd, each held by a small team, their exact meaning muddled. “Air pollution is a concern, but some of the potential health problems are overstated,” EchoHawk said. Along the way, the entire group stopped at locations that have entered the “Hall of Shame” for either promoting fracking in Colorado or failing to oppose it enough. These included the local EPA chapter and Gov. John Hickenlooper’s mansion. “The small steps, the zoning measurements, why do it?” Hardin said. “Just stop harming our earth.” At each stop, protesters voiced their frustration over the banging of native drums. Their “Hall of Shame” stops were still comparatively quiet compared to a multitude of chants led by Russell Mendell, leader of the organization Big Green Radicals. Crowd favorites took inspiration from “You are my Sunshine” (“This is our Water”) and classic call-and-response cheers, “This is what democracy looks like” ringing through downtown.

MSU Denver acquires CHU Denver in the start of an international alliance between colleges By Justin David Tate jtate15@msudenver.edu MSU Denver is negotiating with Colorado Heights University on a deal that will explore new degree programs that could become a reality as soon as Fall 2016. CHU has gifted MSU Denver 58 acres of their south Denver campus located on the corner of Dartmouth and Federal. CHU will retain the remaining 18 acres while MSU Denver gains what MSU Denver President Stephen Jordan calls a “footprint,” in the southwest Denver area. Jordan said he has worked with Mayor Michael Hancock to find areas where education attainment needs to improve. The Southwest Denver area was one of two locations identified as fitting the goals Hancock and Jordan aim to acheive. The other area named was northeast Denver where the community of Montbello resides. It is unknown at this time if there are plans for MSU Denver to acquire or build a campus in northeast Denver. Jordan said he believes the education attainment level of southwest Denver can be improved by creating “an array of degree programs that can be very beneficial to folks in that part of the city.” CHU President Fred Van Liew said six degree paths were identified as target areas that can better supply the
“We tend to see the world by the same lens. We need to engage our students with people from other cultures.” —MSU Denver President Stephen Jordan surrounding community of southwest Denver with what it needs — from an education and career-goal standpoint. “We’re both looking for a mutually beneficial partnership,” Van Liew said. “We’re looking to them for developing a global alliance with universities, specifically we’ve talked about health care, business, technology, social work, teacher ed and international hospitality.” Jordan believes the CHU population fits in well with what he wants for the future of MSU Denver. “They have a lot of adult students who are from other countries who are trying to learn the English language and then they want to go out and get another degree to improve the economic condition of their families,” Jordan said. CHU’s international student population comprises of over half of its total number of students. In contrast, Jordan said over 90 percent of MSU Denver’s students come from the state of Colorado and 91 percent of those come from the seven county metro area of Denver.
“We tend to see the world by the same lens,” Jordan said. “We need to engage our students with people from other cultures. The institution is apart of the Teikyo University Group based in Tokyo, Japan. He hopes that connecting with CHU will allow their international student body to matriculate into MSU Denver while offering CHU more degree paths to offer their student body. There is also a large Latino community in southwest Denver that MSU Denver hopes to bring into its student body. CHU openly supported MSU Denver’s decision in 2012 to open its doors to undocumented students through a special tuition rate. The details of the agreement are still being worked out during a mandatory 120 days of due diligence, with meetings to come by the end of 2015 to further discuss how this will be budgeted.

Oman: Quiet pillar in the Middle East Dr. Amy Eckert is a faculty member in the Department of Political Science. Eckert has been selected by the National Council on U.S.-Arab relations as an Oman Alawaleed fellow. She is interested in the Oman’s role as a mediator in the region and recently returned from a trip there. By Amy E. Eckert eckerta@msudenver.edu Tucked away in the southeast corner of the Arabian Peninsula, Oman can be easily overlooked in favor of its louder, more disorderly neighbors. Indeed, it’s by remaining above the fray that Oman has been able to modernize, thrive, and play a quiet but instrumental role in its region. The latest example of this is Oman’s role in securing the release of two American hostages held in Yemen. I had the good fortune to visit Oman in August as part of a delegation composed of other faculty advisors associated with the Model
Arab League program and staff from the National Council on US-Arab Relations. We found a country that defies many common images of the Arab world. This is a state that is in the midst of a renaissance under the leadership of Sultan Qaboos bin Said, who has ruled Oman as an absolute monarch since 1970, when he took power from his father. Educated, enlightened and progressive, Sultan Qaboos has created a miraculous transformation in Oman. In 1970, the entire country had one hospital, three schools, and less than 10 kilometers of paved roads. The Oman of today is modern and its people increasingly educated. The hallmarks of social and economic progress exist alongside reminders of Omani heritage. While Oman creates free trade zones and other initiatives to court manufacturing and information technology, it

The sound of silence
By Cassie Reid creid13@msudenver.edu We know everything we need to know about shootings don’t we? Not just as Coloradans, but as a country, we have become all too familiar with the motifs: • The very respectful, everrunning media coverage immediately during/after an event with hotlines, sirens and salty faces • The polar political posts which either make us sick or make us angry • The incredible survivor/hero story used as a filler between dissecting the terrorist’s family tree • The eventual absent-minded uttering from a politician earning cries of outrage from party officials

while families only weep for their lost ones The eventual acceptance of the tragedy as “unavoidable” and a return to an on-alert status quo. To make a drinking game out of the events would be too cruel and yet tempting, any source of relief seems an oasis in a land refusing to cooperate. Mutual benefit and future implications are less important than ensuring you may give your voice. To every. Single. Solitary. Detail. Of course there are those voices without which we may not make it through another tragedy or even another confrontation. Jon Stewart was a master at owning a somber moment such as after the Charleston church shooting, his follower John Oliver always ready to provide that outside view like in his three-part gun-control feature. So, how do we know our voices are not needed in these times as theirs are? Quite simply, we have not spent the same amount of time talking. We have not spent the same time on a regular basis plant-
increasingly expresses pride in its past. The oldest state in the Arab world, Oman has a proud history of seafaring trade and exploration. Its people are often clad in traditional Omani clothes, including long, flowing dishdashas and turbans for men. In addition to building new airports to bring visitors to Oman, they also construct museums to share its proud past. An important key to Oman’s success has been its ability to exist peacefully in a dangerous neighborhood. Oman has pursued a path of neutrality, guided by the principle: friend to all, enemy to none. Oman follows the Ibadi school of Islam, thus avoiding the split between Sunni and Shiite Muslims that wreaks havoc in other Middle Eastern states. Oman also remained neutral in the IranIraq War. It has cultivated good relationships with states that are often ostracized in the international community, including Iran, with which Oman shares control of the Strait of Hormuz. Yet, Oman also has ties to the US and has been a valuable ally in the region. It is this policy of active
neutrality that lead to Oman’s role in securing the release of Scott Darden and Sam Farran, the two Americans who had been held by the Shiite Houthi rebels in Yemen. Likewise, it was Oman that secured the release of the American hikers held by Iran after they had crossed the Iran-Iraq border. It was Oman’s mediation that helped to facilitate the negotiations that lead to the agreement that would limit Iran’s nuclear program. Oman’s active, but quiet, diplomacy has served to reduce hostilities in a tense region. Yet the future is uncertain. Sultan Qaboos, the force behind development in Oman and diplomacy abroad, is the longest-serving leader in the Middle East. At nearly 75, he has recently returned from Germany, where he reportedly sought treatment for cancer. As the Sultan has no children or siblings, the question of who will lead Oman after Sultan Qaboos, takes on greater significance. Whether Oman will be able to continue its progress, both domestically and abroad, will largely depend upon the outcome of that question.
ing words strategically for a laugh or a moment of enlightenment. For after years of their delivery, they know the key to empathy and clarity of message is not to burst in a fit of emotion. The key is stepping back and taking yourself out of the equation. Your emotions may still rise, but offense is not an option, agenda ignored. Do not write another post about an American terrorist’s mental disorder. Do not send your prayers if you can only name the shooter. Do not mention the second amendment in the same sentence as “school shooting.” Or, at the very least, wait. Before you hit “post,” before you press send, before you speak. Just wait. It seems impossible to do this in the midst of tragedy. Our desire to speak is not ill-intended. We want to comfort, and thus be comforted. We want to inspire, to bring a smile, to cheer a friend. We want to identify with the victims, their families and their community so that we might be a support system. Especially as Coloradans, there seems to be an unspoken duty to
help others through a situation we’ve grown terrifyingly used to. Going from the initial shock, to pounding panic, to inconsolable sorrow and lastly solemn remembrance. But “lastly” is wrong, because grief has no timeline. Even this belief that we can offer solace because this is a trial we’ve faced before is wrong, however well-meaning. However cliche it may seem, each of us is unique. Similar events do not make the same experience. Instead, recognize the true power of silence. Not just those moments in big arenas, but in an argument rooted in fear, sadness, and loneliness. Just as recognizing you know nothing means you know more than most, recognizing each other’s totally incomprehensible emotions, reactions and motives means we are that much closer to a state of peace.
“Do not write another post about an American terrorist’s mental disorder.”
Clarification >> The Planned Parenthood opinion published in last week’s edition of The Metropolitan should have clarified that information regarding the sale of fetal tissue was in response to the Center for Medical Progress’ clandestine videos of physicians discussing compensation for fetal tissues. Planned Parenthood has denied these accusations.

accommodations.” The event also offered information on programs available off campus, allowing for those with disabilities to take part in activities they might otherwise not know existed. “We provide peak outdoor opportunities and all our sports are fully adaptive,” said Josh
Over construction racket and hot dog orders, the words of William Shakespeare rang through the air in the Tivoli Commons. A “spontaneous” staging of “Romeo and Juliet” was brought to campus Oct. 1 by the Denver Project for Humanistic Inquiry, a series rooted in MSU Denver dedicated to bringing unique cultural experiences to Auraria Campus. “We’ve been planning it since last semester,” said Adam Graves, founding director of DPHI and philosophy professor. “What’s spontaneous about it is the audience and what they bring.” Teaching artists from the Denver Center for Performing
Thurmond, program manager for the National Sports Center for the Disabled. “Kayaking, boxing, rock climbing; we have pretty much any sport you can think of.” Spoke N Motion was also in attendance at the festival. The group allows those with disabilities to participate in dance performances. Westerman sees the festival as one of the best avenues for those with disabilities to be more active and involved. “It can be frustrating when you’re looking for services and don’t know where to go or who to call,” said Terri Westerman, member of Spoke N Motion. “Where else are they going to get all the information they need in one place?” For students without disabilities,
The Disability Awareness Festival Sept. 30 was a day of learning, opportunity and showing capabilities. Established in 2000 as Disability Awareness Day, the event has grown as a way for students with disabilities to learn about opportunities and programs available to them on campus. “The point of the festival is to raise awareness about persons with disabilities and to give resources to them,” said Minerva Galvez, an MSU Denver student working the Access Center’s booth. “It’s to let them know they don’t have to suffer through college. They think they have to endure and adapt to college culture, but they don’t.” Members of the Spoke N Motion dance group put on a performance during the Disability Awareness Festival Currently working held Sept. 30 at Auraria Campus.
Arts performed a 45-minute cut of the famous love story. The set consisted of a truck parked in front of the amphitheater, window frames on poles, two crates and a 3”-by5” board. “We perform for a lot of teens who otherwise wouldn’t get a lot of Shakespeare,” said Erin Willis, who portrayed the Friar Lawrence and the Prince Escalus, during a brief talk-back after the show. “The key is to get them engaged and to stick in their minds.” There was a consistent stream of students, with several stopping for up to 15 minutes to see the show. “This gives a better light to these old classics,” said Stafanie Sere, English and communications major. “Plus the outdoor setting connects to Shakespeare’s start. It’s a great treat.”
it was a chance to learn. Lindsey Bailey attended the festival for the first time and found it entertaining and educational. “It’s nice to see active support,” Bailey said. “It’s not something the campus gives attention to all the time.” For those who were still on the fence about looking for accommodations, Galvez offered her view on the matter. “People think accommodations are putting us at an advantage, but it just levels the playing field,” Galvez said. “I have a saying I like to use — I have abilities, not disabilities — but I know my limitations.”
“I have abilities — not disabilities — but I know my limitations.” — Minerva Galvez

Frights, terror, Alamo! Horror at a mile high By Ma hew Cande ar a mcande 9@msudenver.edu People in Littleton jumped into the Halloween spirit at the opening of the Mile High Horror Film Festival in the Alamo Draft house Theatre, Oct. 2. In the lobby of the Alamo, booths lined up in the center of the room stocked with merchandise for the festival, arts and crafts from various horror buffs and a special effects booth. Two large skeleton heads held the wood burnings of artist Daniel Crosier. These are not your typical wood burnings either. They’re detailed with horror imagery in comic book style. The process of making these includes drawing on white paper then using a system on lasers to “print” on the maple. The mainshow showcase of Crossiers booth was abthreepage comic book on maple titled “Mr. Kinsman’s Mythology.” To the right of Crosier’s booth are the creative works of Jonathan Reyes. Lying on his table are necklaces of anatomically correct hearts, polyurethane super sculptures of “the thing,” prints of medusa, and an ironically comical “Facebook:” a hand-sized blank covered drawing book with a flattened out face — covered in scars, stitches, cuts — plastered on the cover. In the special effects booth, “Monster Makeup FX,” David Henderson was offering to put fake wounds on willing participants in order to promote a
variety of workshops his company offers. On Oct. 22, they are offering a class called “The Attack of the Severed Finger,” which includes making realistic severed fingers with foam latex. “The foam latex feels like skin!” Henderson said. Prim and Grim Creepy Chic Jewelry and Decor offered vintage necklaces, earrings and magnets in the shape of
cats, bats, skulls, demons and robots. They also offered anatomy figures from science labs repurposed into lamps, as well as one made from a 1930s German mineva doll. Throughout the month of Halloween, the Alamo will honor horror greats, with the festival bringing new names to the silver screen.

MetCooks: Fluffernutter Photo and recipe by Aaron Atencio aatenc11@msudenver.edu
The Fluffernutter sandwich is a beautiful ooey, gooey mess of marshmellow fluff, peanut butter and white bread that will dominate your sweet tooth and please your tastebuds.
Ingredients: • Marshmallow fluff • White bread • Peanut butter • Jimmies (candy sprinkles) *All ingredients can be used as much or as little to your liking, except for the bread. Just use two slices, Maverick.
Most of us have had the classic peanut butter and jelly sandwich at some point: The gooey, sticky, yummy mess of a sandwich that most everyone ate during childhood. Well folks, I'm here to up the ante. I'm here to please your palates, to titillate your tastebuds. I'm here to introduce you to the Fluffernutter. A friend of mine from Boston introduced me to this East Coast staple of a sandwich. Making a Fluffernutter is simple. You need only four ingredients: marshmallow fluff, peanut butter, white bread and jimmies (I'll explain in a bit). First, grab two pieces of bread. Place them on a flat, clean surface, with the breadiest side up. Open the peanut butter. Get a knife, or if you're barbaric, use your hands to scoop out the peanut butter and spread across one of the

MetReviews “Goosebumps” By Cassie Reid creid13@msudenver.edu “Goosebumps” dives into nostalgia with a plot twice as formulaic as the series that inspired it, with a quarter of the creativity. Be very afraid (for all the wrong reasons). New-white-kid-in-town has a hard time fitting in, until generic-teenage-arm-candy and excessively-wimpy-insta-best-friend shows him life in a small town can be fun. The girl is promptly presumed murdered by Jack Black (aka R.L. Stine). Shenanigans ensue as all of Stine’s characters are released from their manuscripts. Now the unlikely quartet must team up to save the town. What’s sad about this lackluster fi lm is that all of the actors do their best with the script they are given. Black is a very fun curmudgeon, capable of highlighting

bread slices. Second, open the marshmallow fluff and grab a new knife. You can't cross contaminate the nut butter with the fluff. Proceed by spreading the fluff onto the other slice of bread and, boom, you're done. Some East-Coasters say this is the true Fluffernutter and should not be tampered with any further. Just combine the two slices and you're set. Though, there are others who dare take it further and choose to add jimmies. Jimmies are simply candy sprinkles. You can add these to the fluff if you'd like. The sandwich is now done. You may serve it on your finest paper plate and enjoy. The reason I don't do a fancy presentation with the fluffer nutter is the same reason I don't use steak sauce with my steak. It's not needed. There are many variations to this sandwich. You can use Nutella instead of peanut butter. If you're feeling dangerous, you can add bacon.
his co-stars’ noteworthy talent with each scene. Once the focus is on the four leads, it’s a fun flick. There’s even a decent (if not surface-level) twist that gets some good emotion from Black and our teen lead. The cinematography also outshines the dialogue, capturing spooky shadows, eerie angles and creating a fun, spooky tone. So, how could a script possibly overpower such genuine effort? Instead of bringing Stine’s most unique characters to life with passion, they choose the six most marketable monsters (one of which seems to be evil dictator Chucky of the foes). Rather than take a chance at some dark humor, most of the laughs come from unintentionally hilarious scares. Then again, this is coming from more of a Potterhead than a EinStine (not sure if that’s what “Goosebumps” fans call themselves, if not, my copyright). If you were an avid reader of the series there may be more to enjoy come Oct. 16. Otherwise, skip this over-priced, under-written mess.

“Even Lambs Have Teeth” By Matthew Candelaria mcandel9@msudenver.edu “Even Lambs Have Teeth” made it’s world debut at the Mile High Horror Film Festival, Oct. 2. It begins as a typical horror flick: a group of teenage friends doing drugs, the two pretty blonde girls (Sloane and Katie) plan a trip to the a small town countryside to stay at a commune for the summer. They do this so can shop in New York for a week to end their vacation. The two best friends get a ride to a strange small mountain town, full of people with unusual and quirky mannerisms. Upon arriving to the town near the farm they meet a group of boys that offer to take them the rest of the way to the farm. Hesitantly, the girls accept, are taken to the boys’ house instead and are greeted by a overtly well mannered mother who offers them to come inside for tea and pie, only to find thatit is poisoned. Consequently, the girls pass out and wake up only to find themselves half naked in the woods tied up to be used as sex slaves. The flick cleverly tricks you to think

that they are both damsels in distress, but this movie throws that troupe on it’s head. Katie and Sloane use their physical power to escape and then go on a Tarantino-esque style revenge killing spree on the corrupt individuals that inflicted sexual violence on the girls. “It’s kind of like hard candy.” said Kirsten Prout, who plays Sloan. Overall, the fi lm was a fun watch full of gore, revenge and witty moments of comic relief.

Volleyball finds their groove
» Vollyball earns player of the week
By Robert Kemp rkemp9@msudenver.edu
Sophomore Ryan Hoerdemann and junior Brandi Torr won RMAC player of the week award on Oct. 5. Hoerdemann was named offensive player of the week and Torr was named setter of the week.
Metro volleyball swept Black Hills State 3-0 on Oct. 3 at the Auraria Event Center to continue on a five-game win streak. The Roadrunners were strong in every facet of the game against the Yellow Jackets. The offense hit .295 overall and the defense held Black Hills to a sparse .090 hit percentage. “Our offense is really starting to hit on all cylinders,” said head coach Debbie Hendricks. “Hoerdemann just played out of her mind tonight. Sophomore right side hitter Ryan Hoerdemann led the team with 13 kills and an extremely efficient .600 hit percentage earning Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference offensive player of the week. Junior setter Brandi Torr also won RMAC setter of the week after she had three kills in four attempts, along with 38 assists and seven digs.

Other notable performances included junior outside hitter Michaela Smith who had 10 kills and three service aces and junior middle blocker Vasati Fiatoa, who contributed nine kills. Metro had a rocky start to the season. Before their current streak, the Roadrunners were 3-8 on the season. “We were just scrambling all the time,” Hendricks said. “Communication was poor and we’ve cleaned a lot of that up now.” Metro has indeed cleaned up their play, sweeping four out of their last five opponents. “We’re playing with a lot more confidence, more flow,” Hendricks said. The Lady Runners will travel to Golden, Colorado to face No. 17 Colorado School of Mines. “I think if you can survive rallies with them, I think that’s how you beat them,” Hendricks said. “We’re really going to work on the defensive side of the ball this week and prepare to frustrate their hitters.”

Metro’s cross country team hosted its Roadrunner Invitational Oct. 3 at their home track in Washington Park. The men’s team had a strong finish as they placed second in the 8K race and the women’s team finished fifth in the 6K race. In the week leading up to the tournament, the Metro coaching staff made sure all was organized in preparation for their first home contest of the season. “At the end of the day it’s worth it for our athletes,” head coach Nick Maas said. “It gives them a chance to be on their home course and sleep on their own bed. I think that gives us the edge.” The Roadrunners came out to showcase their talents at home and Maas said that right now it’s the mid-point in the season and they are going to put their best foot forward and show the home crowd what they can do. Nick Kadlec led the way for the men’s team as he had a final of 26:04. Junior Jason Carey finished second for the Runners with a time of 26:18 followed by freshmen Luis Ronquillo in 12th place. Junior Chris Davis placed 15th and senior Erik Boss finished 18th to round
The Lady Runners came back from a half-time deficit to beat Colorado Mesa University 3-2 in Grand Junction Oct. 4. Senior forward McKinzie Rieber continued her strong form for Metro, and it was Rieber who opened the scoring in the 16th minute, latching onto a pass from freshman Reigna Banks to put the Roadrunners ahead. But the Mavericks responded with two quick fire goals in the 31st and 32nd minutes to give Colorado Mesa the lead going into half-time. The Lady Runners came out strong in the second half. Rieber scored the equalizer in the 56th minute, following a pass from freshman midfielder Korena

out a team score of 52 points. Metro finished behind CSU-Pueblo who finished first with 50 points. For the women, senior Lauren Silacci was first to finish placing 14th. Senior Karina Sanchez placed 24th followed by three freshman, Mail Smith (26), Sabrina Rautter (30) and Jazzy Padilla-Nahe (46) to finish with 101 points. CSU-Pueblo took home first with 29 points.

improve their team bonding in a sport that is more individualized. “We’re really working on trying to communicate more,” Silacci said. “I think it’s something that has always been an issue, it’s been an issue with every girls’ team.” The Roadrunners will travel to Hays, Kansas for the Fort Hays State Invitational Oct. 10.

Sophomore goalkeeper Breanna Flores, made four saves to keep the score at 3-2, and the Lady Runners held out to increase their record to 5-3-2 for the season (2-2-2 in the RMAC). Colorado Mesa dropped to 1-8-2 (1-5-1 in the RMAC). Colorado Mesa outshot Metro, 10-6 but the Runners proved to be the more clinical team on the day with five of their six shots finding their way on target.
