Citizens looking to celebrate the memory of Martin Luther King Jr. found themselves divided by political tensions.

Known for being one of the largest Martin Luther King Jr. Day gatherings in the country, this year’s parade was no exception, garnering a crowd of nearly 30,000 to march from City Park to Civic Center Park. The crowd varied in

age and background, with veteran patrons and first timers alike.

“I thought it was magical one person could stand up for a cause like he did,” said Thomas Nichols, a science teacher at Abraham Lincoln High School. Inspired by King in his childhood, Nichols has attended the parade for many years. He attended this year with his daughters.

Denver Police Department rolls out body cam program

By Luis Bustos lbustos@msudenver.edu

After recent police shootings like the cases of Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown, public discussion about police brutality has brought the viability of body cameras to police departments.

The Denver Police department began rolling out the use of body cameras and will continue to equip 800 more officers over the next few months. The City of Denver budgeted close to $2 million for the program.

An officer, who is not authorized to speak on behalf of DPD and requested to remain anonymous, said that only District 6, which serves the central/downtown Denver area has received body cameras so far. Other districts won’t receive cameras for a while, but the officer “can’t wait to get the cameras.”

MSU Denver student Dominic Elliott was supportive of implementing body cameras. “Being an African-American of course. I think it’s necessary. It’s necessary everywhere.”

While Denver Police have begun rolling out the cams, Auraria Campus Police have only begun talking about using the

equipment.

“It’s my nature to be an early adopter of technology,” Auraria Campus, Chief of Police Michael Phibbs said.

Phibbs isn’t opposed to the idea of body cameras for the campus police, but noted that there are logistical problems that must be addressed before it can be implemented on campus.

“Where I have some concerns comes into more of the management of the records when they’re kept and open records laws,” said Phibbs.

According to Phibbs the process of record upkeep includes individual tracking of noteable videos, the surveillance is kept for trial purposes then shortly destroyed for security purposes.

Phibbs also expressed concerns with digital storage space. “There’s companies out there that will do it but they charge a lot of money. One of the companies that will do this charges about $1000 per officer a year, that becomes a $50,000 ongoing expense.”

While the logistical barriers of body cameras are still unresolved by campus police, the students demand more accountability from the Denver Police Department. Like in cases such as “It will keep them accountable,” said

While some students believe that the increasing transparency in the interactions between officers and civilians is a good thing others worry about their own privacy as a trade off.

A recent study conducted by MSU Denver professors has people discussing the issues of discrimination in and out of the classroom.

Conducted by Economics professors Rey Hernández-Julián and Dr. Christina Peters Huber, the study was aimed at determining whether more attractive students received better grades as well as whether attractiveness inadvertently impacts other traits.

said MSU Denver student Jasmine Gill.”

“So they can uses anything you say in that video against you, even if you accidentally say something or they can misinterpret anything you say so it can backfire.”

Additional reporting by Joella Baumann.

“Physical attractiveness might be correlated to other characteristics such as attention to detail or being more motivated,” said Huber.

The results found that female students who are more attractive receive slightly higher grades than those who are less attractive, both with male and female professors. It was also found that this slight bump disappears when students take their classes online.

“Our results find smaller returns to appearance in online environments, suggesting that part of the return to appearance does not come from unobservable traits, such as higher ability or higher effort,” said Hernández-Julián.

These findings have gained heavy attention from the media as well as outcry from students.

Ali Alzainaldeen found the results unfair, questioning the integrity of professors.

“Just because someone looks better doesn’t mean you should treat them better,” said Alzainaldeen.

MSU Denver student Natalie Tafuri also found the results unfair, but noted that it wasn’t tied specifically to universities.

“Just because someone looks better doesn’t mean you should treat them better.”

-Ali Alzainaldeen.

MSU Denver professor Christina Peters Huber, one of the professors behind the study into how attractiveness affects grades, hopes the results will help expand the discussion on how people’s inclination to attractiveness.

“I think it’s a societal issue,” said Tafuri.

Though many are rallying behind these findings as proof of discrimination on campuses, both professors noted that these findings have been found in studies at other campuses and that their study was meant to play into discussing the larger subject of discrimination.

Hubers noted the findings in past psychological studies that show an attention to attractiveness in preschoolers and even infants.

“It’s not just professors, it’s not just students, it’s everyone,” said Huber.

<< continued from cover “I think we’ve really pulled together,” said Sarah Nichols.

Pastor John Tellis of the Solomon Temple Missionary Baptist Church said he loved seeing King’s dream carried on by the celebration, as well as the diversity of the crowd.

“Every year, [the marade] seems to gain more and more momentum,” said Tellis. “It not only allows us to voice our remembrance, but gives us incentive to catch

the mantle.”

Pushing toward change was a prevalent theme in this year’s marade. Many marched for action against police brutality and several grassroots organizations commandeered the stage during the speeches to speak out against the lack of action for the deaths of Paul Castaway, Michael Marshall and others killed by police brutality.

Community Activist, Hasira, “Soul,” Ashemu, spoke about prevalent issues that were the main concerns for

some and their reason for attending the march.

“Let me give you a briefing,” said Ashemu. “We have a black mayor, we have a black police chief, we have two black council members and still our black brothers and sisters are dying in the streets. You tell me what difference does it make?”

Crowds shouted “release the tapes” and heckled Mayor Michael Hancock, demanding something be done to address this and concerns over the deconstruction of historic neighborhoods.

“We need to preserve our historically black and Latino districts,” said attendee Jesse Parris. “Stop electing sell-out politicians to represent us.”

While not everyone agreed with the more aggressive actions, many did see the need to fight for change. One long time attendee, Howard Haynes, saw the need for more definitive action by attendees to request change from the local government and beyond.

“If we don’t give them anything to pass, they think it must mean we don’t need anything,” said Haynes.

He also noted that while it was great that so many people come together each year, the crowd of people supporting the same cause should be utilized.

“Don’t let the multitudes go home until next year,” Haynes said.

Regardless of the differences in opinion, many still saw the parade as a success. Glen Hubspeth, a longtime supporter of King’s ideals hoped that people would remember why the parade is held every year and come together through it.

“Everyone is here for the same reason,” said Hubspeth. “Hopefully everyone gets the same meaning from his dream.”

Participants of the Martin Luther King march convene in Civic Center Park on Jan. 18 to listen to speeches.

Alpha douche: A satirical look at shirtless mirror selfies

By Aaron Atencio aatenc11@msudenver.edu Have you ever lifted your shirt to flex your abs, then documented that moment by snapping a photo for your followers? Yes? Congratulations, you are an alpha douche.

We’ve all been witness to these incessant types of self-absorbed narcissism. In 2003 the worst

invention of the decade was released to the public: the front facing camera.

This invention caused an influx in self-portraits and “look at how awesome I am” behavior.

Girls and boys alike started flooding their social media account with really bad photos of themselves.

Nobody cares about your face and we don’t want to see thirty pictures captured by you with the same angle and stupid, pouty duck face dominating the frame.

Unfortunately, this craze didn’t end as a fad. It’s still going

strong today. Now, it has been accompanied by the shirtless mirror selfie.

Guys, seriously. What the hell are you doing? I should never have to walk into a public place with a mirror and be subjected to watching you and your bro flipping through Instagram fi lters, deciding which one makes you look the most “cut” or “diced”.

I can’t place the blame on you boys solely. Part of it is society’s fault. The constant boost in your likes and followers is doing the

“ I hope that next time you catch yourself in the mirror flexing that washboard of yours you’ll think twice before making the rest of us suffer. ”

same thing to your ego.

Anyone that rewards your behavior by liking the photograph is at least as much blame as you.

They are stroking your ego. This may make you think we want more, but we don’t.

Though, who am I to critique your passion? Who am I to sit here and tell you that your undying urge to show off the body that you’re proud of to strangers and friends on the web is something I’ll never grasp?

I hope that next time you catch yourself in the mirror flexing that washboard of yours you’ll think twice before making the rest of us suffer.

To me, you are the equivalent of a ridiculous duck face selfie. You are the basic male alpha douche.

A letter to my son: Freedom is never given; it is won.

Dear Son,

By Joella Baumann jbauma@msudenver.edu

You are everything good in me and that is why I am writing you this letter. Your milk-chocolate, beautiful black skin fi lls me with pride. You are smart, stubborn, head strong and likeable. This is why everything I say next is so important.

As a black woman, a black mother, growing up in the colorcoded world we have been placed in, I must now apologize. I must apologize, my beautiful black son, for your beautiful black skin because of the American inheritance that comes along with it.

I must apologize because you were born to parents who have passed along humanity’s inferior skin color. You can not control this, but you will be measured by it. Your value will be lessened and you will be treated poorly as a

result of it.

Please know that because of your predetermined race coupled with your gender, you will enter this world predisposed to the wrong side of disparity.

Joblessness, homelessness and drug abuse are more common among black men than any other demographic.

Your ability to avoid these disparities will be my responsibility through raising you. I will not, however be able to guarantee that you won’t someday be a victim of racial profi ling.

I wish that I could be strong and progressive and tell you that I want you to ignore this inheritance. I could tell you that because most of the racism that you will encounter will likely be overt that it will be easy to act as if it doesn’t exist.

I wish that I could tell you to act and do as if your freedoms are the same as everyone else’s. I won’t because that would be a lie.

In reality my letter is to tell you that I don’t know that I could survive as the mother of a Tamir Rice, Trayvon Martin or Emmett Till. I don’t know that I would handle it with grace the way that they have. I don’t know that I could handle losing my beautiful black

son because of the black skin that I have given him.

So I implore you to ease the worries of your loving mother by following these few things.

Keep your hair short and clean cut. You will immediately be labeled as a gang member if you wear dreadlocks or braids.

Speaking of gangs, gestures beyond the standard five-fingered wave or two-finger peace sign are risky and should be avoided.

Hoodies, baseball caps, baggy jeans, and sneakers should be offlimits apparel. If you must wear any of these things, don’t wear two of these items at the same time.

Never wear any of these at night.

However, also be ready to experience difficulties when purchasing the proper attire at higher-end clothing stores. The employees will follow you around the store because your skin color dispositions you to being perceived as a thief.

Even though you have every right to, never express negative emotions in public. You don’t want to be labeled the “angry black man”. This is especially important when you come in contact with law enforcement. You may be able to avoid this up to a certain age, but

“ I don’t know that I could survive as the mother of a Tamir Rice, Trayvon Martin or Emmett Till.”

once you become of legal driving age it will be inevitable.

You should limit the number of passengers who share your skin color as not to draw attention to yourself, and always keep your music at a low volume.

Always refer to police officers as Sir or Ma’am and keep your hands visible at all times. If you are asked to step out of the car do so without complaint and don’t you dare stick your hands in your pockets or fiddle with your waistline.

Under no circumstance do you ever resist arrest, even if it’s completely unwarranted. This may be the most important advice of all son.

I know that you are only two and your biggest worries involve milk cups and toy trucks, but these things reinforce your right to exist as a young black man in a society which branded you before your conception. The silver lining to all of this foolery is that by existing, surviving and thriving, you will have a unique opportunity to shift the paradigm to the ways things should be.

Son, know that you are special even if society sends a contrasting message. Know that your black is beautiful.

Know that you are priceless and if there ever comes a time in your invaluable life when you doubt that, just ask your mama and I’ll remind you.

Catching up with ‘The Stinky Cheese Man’ of Denver Story and Photo By Mary Kate Newton mnewton5@msudenver.edu The smell is a friendly assault: pungent cured meats and that slightly stale funk of aged cheese.

“That’s what a cheese shop is supposed to smell like,” said Robert Lawler, who bought The Truffle Cheese Shop on 6th and Fillmore in Cherry Creek with his wife in 2001.

Though not as strong as in Europe where refrigeration is not closely monitored by the Food and Drug Administration, it’s still not a smell Americans are used to.

“Kids come in here and cover their noses and make faces,” said Kaki Arnoud, “cheesemonger” at The Truffle Cheese Shop of two years.

Lawler explained that after being around the smell long enough, he and his staff have become noseblind, though he understands the momentary discomfort new patrons might have when entering his shop.

“The concept of a cheese shop is totally foreign to most Americans, but in Europe there’s usually two or three per little town,” Lawler said.

Lawler and his wife have traveled across Europe and many of their staff members have travel stories they bring to the cheese counter. Lawler and his wife, Karin, have even escorted small groups of customers on trips to France. Their travels are reflected in their extensive menu of cheeses, meats and goods. The shop even keeps a cheese travel blog, which you can follow at denvertruffle. com/blog-of-cheese.

“Food teaches you a lot about the place it is made [from]. The texture and taste are influenced by a lot of history and science,” Lawler said. “It tells you about a culture and how they cater their ingredients to their needs.”

Lawler attends a “cheese camp” in Vermont every July. The camp is for vendors, though he has heard rumors of it opening for all cheese fans.

“We really got a hands-on experience with the cheese: from the vegetation and

Growing in harmony

Filharmonics rise to greater heights

By Ashley Negal anagel@msudenver.edu Starting out as a group of six friends with a shared love for music, the Filharmonics debuted as a musical entity in 2013 when they competed on the hit NBC musical competition “The Sing-off”.

Now two years later, these men have added to their performance repertoire and

have shared the limelight with big names such as Linkin Park, Black Eyed Pease and the Pentatonix. In 2015, the band had a cameo appearance in Pitch Perfect 2, and now they will soon be back in Denver for a second round of musical elation.

Consisting of six members, vocalist VJ Rosales, Joe Caigoy, Trace Gaynor, Berry Fortang, vocal bass Jules Cruz and beat boxer Niko Del Rey, these friends got their start in college where they not only discovered each other, but managed to ground musical roots together in the exploration of their talents.

Their sound consists of a playful fusion of pop melodies and resampled ‘90s nostalgia with an urban twist.

This group has found a niche by

Rob Lawler bought The Truffle Cheese Shop in 2001, with the intention of introducing a European style cheese shop to Denver.

care of the animals to how that product is made and aged,” Lawler said.

Lawler’s favorite cheese, which he said changes by the moment, is burrata. It’s a fresh Italian cheese made from mozzarella and cream. He was quick to offer a sample with a slice of a Palisade peach.

Lawler and his wife trade-off working between their restaurant, The Truffle Table on 15th in the Highlands, and taking care of their two sons. It’s more than a full-time job maintaining the store and finding new foods to offer their customers.

The shop offers a $40 cheese of the

month club, classes on making cheeses like fresh mozzarella and aims to be interactive and involved in their customers’ lives.

In what little spare time Lawler has, he enjoys playing video games and cooking.

“I smoked a chicken yesterday,” he said.

“I found a smoker the other day at a yard sale.”

Lawler admitted that for someone who sells high-end cheeses, he’s frugal with other things he chooses to spend money on.

“I’m a cheap bastard for someone that sells expensive cheese.”

establishing themselves as an all FilipinoAmerican acapella group.

Although they come from various backgrounds in the preforming arts industry, including pop, acapella, jazz, opera, theater, classical, hip hop and beat boxing, they bond together through their shared cultural kinship and passion for performance.

For the last few years, The Filharmonics have been devoting their lives to their music and have worked hard to produce new sounds, videos and ways to engage their audience. Their focus has been mainly on their music, but they also find it important to humanize their role as young icons.

In August 2015, The Filharmonics performed at the Great American “NO BULL” teen video awards, an event platform geared towards teens and young adults that promotes positive social action on issues affecting todays youth.

“We are all people first,” says Niko Del Rey, the beat boxer of The Filharmoics. Del Rey is a converted Political Science major that always wanted a career in which he could help people.

“I wanted a profession where I could help people, but I didn’t feel the calling to be a doctor,” Del Rey says.

This idea of love for each other and most importantly self-love is the aura of positivity that infiltrates The Filharmonic sound.

While this young band is still hard at work discovering what exactly that sound is, they

manage to continuously have fun in their exploration with each other.

To function as an artist in the “remix” era, where general audiences like to hear familiar sounds in different ways, the expectation to create can be burdensome.

The Filharmonics rise to this challenge and as young artists they seem to clearly see the path in front of them, as well as the necessary stylistic choices they have to make in order to keep preforming.

“We’re trying to find a way now that we can ride a line between doing what is popular, but what is kinda us,” Fortgang says.

Being a member of an all men’s acapella group rising to fame can be far from harmonious at times, but the gentleman of the Filharmonics often find inspiration in their differences.

“Our creative differences weren’t a hindrance, it was more like a guidance to us,” Del Ray says. “If there was an idea, no matter how abstract it was, that the whole group was very approving of, it was a pretty solid idea. But if your song choice or your music choice only makes it past a few people and the other four vote no, then that creative difference actually helps us.”

It is this type of comradery that is visible in the accomplishments of The Filharmonics and seemingly there is no shame in using each other as tools in the innovation of their success.

either.

The following track “House of Memories” takes a very sentimental and powerful turn. The meaning behind the song feels different than the average Panic!

At The Disco song, focusing on the loss and heartbreak of losing a lover rather than the revenge and insults. The music keeps the song from being too sad and still keeps it lively instead, while the lyrics alone are depressing.

The final track “Impossible Year” sounds very similar to the fifth track, which is an inconsistent sound to end the album with.

Arguably, it works to end with a sound similar to “Death of a Bachelor,” which is what the album’s named after. The lyrics wrap up the album well, making it all feel like a well put together piece and an excellent return for the band.

Directed by David O. Russell, “Joy” is an interesting take on the rags to riches trope, that shows not every princess needs a prince.

The semi-biographical drama follows the life of inventor Joy Mangano (Jennifer Lawrence), a hardworking mother trying to juggle the many difficulties of life: Taking care of her mother and father (Virginia Madsen and Robert De Niro), to dealing with her ex-husband Tony (Edgar Ramirez) and raising her kids.

The film finds its focus once Mangano has the idea to create a self-wringing mop.

What follows are the trials and tribulations she faces to bring life to the idea that would make her a millionaire.

While this may sound like a cut and dry story, character development is what sets it apart. Where one might normally expect some white knight to swoop in and assist Mangano, she instead helps herself and pushes through challenges with her own hard work.

The supporting characters, Tony and Neil Walker (Bradley Cooper), can be selfless toward Mangano one moment and self-serving another, adding a human dimension.

There aren’t any notably poor performances by any actors and Lawrence doesn’t disappoint in the leading role.

The writing never felt too heavy handed, making for down to earth dialogue and character interactions. One gripe to be had is the loose ends that aren’t explained by the end of the film, though this may have been done to control the movie’s length.

Sound and cinematography are both up to snuff. Moments without music are tense and magnified and camera work made certain scenes more impactful.

“Joy” is a pleasant surprise for anyone burnt out on the usual sterotypes and a great viewing for anyone looking for a quality film to see.

Set in an alternate fantasy version of Russia, wolves are kept as pets by the rich.

If the rich decide they no longer want them, the wolves are sent to young Feo and her mother, who work professionally as wolf wilders to retrain the wolves to be wild animals again. Wolves are considered dangerous and some people will do everything they can to kill them.

The majority of this book’s description feels misleading. The cover, the synopsis and even the title heavily imply a story surrounding wolves, but the story of the wolves is left behind by page 50 and gives way to main character, Feo, leading a revolution instead. While the wolves still play a minor role, they are no longer the main focus, which may leave readers feeling cheated.

The pace of the book feels uneven, which is the biggest downside. It is fast paced and gripping until halfway through when the tension suddenly disappears and gives way to a slow and sloppy second half. There isn’t enough substance to keep the story moving at the speed the first half sets up.

The characters themselves aren’t particularly developed and there could have been a lot of potential for them. Most main characters are reduced to one-dimensional archetypes, although readers can tell there might be a little more to them under the surface. Unfortunately, the book never shows that extra development.

It’s as though the writer understood more about the characters than she wrote down on the page, leaving readers to get to know only half-ready characters.

This book does have beautiful settings and a descriptive atmosphere that paints a wonderful picture of what this Russia looks like. It transports readers into the book as though they are walking right behind Feo and her wolves.

It’s a fast read that provides entertainment, but it doesn’t dive much deeper than that. The final product is a forgettable story with the most memorable aspect only being the gorgeous cover art.

Panic! At The Disco’s most recent album “Death of a Bachelor,” offers a sound different from their past albums, but retains enough for old and new fans to enjoy.

The album’s opening track “Victorious” is a bold and exciting opening song, easily one of the most memorable on the album.

It is powerful and almost impossible to listen to without getting rowdy. It has clever lyrics, an adrenaline-inducing sound and an incredibly fun music video, if fans wish to look it up.

After that, “Don’t Threaten Me With a Good Time” will easily resonate with fans.

It resembles the bands more well known and popular sound.

“Hallelujah” is a little different and may take a few listens to warm up to. It’s a strange mix of classical, gospel and pop, but the blend works well and creates a unique song that’s easy to love.

The fourth track, “Emperor’s New Clothes,” is a smart, witty and sassy addition to the album, easily one of the most brilliant and noteworthy songs. The lyrics are clever, yet a little dark. Contrasted with the light hearted music, it creates something fun.

“Death of a Bachelor” changes the tone of the album with a mellower track that slows down the pace but features excellent vocals.

The following track “Crazy=Genius” is surely one of the most playful and hyperactive songs on the album. Some lyrics come across as silly while others are witty, but the overall sound and speed of the track is fun and riling.

“LA Devotee” is charming. It’s repetitive sound and fast-paced lyrics make it easy to get stuck in a listener’s head, not necessarily in a good way. It’s a good song, but there isn’t much that makes it stand out among the rest except for how annoyingly hard it is to ignore it.

Track eight, “Golden Days,” is decent and sounds similar to the band’s music that everyone has come to love so far, but it feels a little flat among so many other strong tracks. The track feels forgettable compared to the album’s other tracks.

“The Good, the Bad, and the Dirty” is a fun track, but it follows the same trend as the album’s previous two tracks. It feels very similar, but it doesn’t particularly stand out

Metro falls to top ranked Colorado Mines

By Hector Venegas hveneges@msudenver.edu

» Ohrdorf earns Academic Player of the Year Sophomore guard Georgia Ohrdorf was named Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Academic Player of the Year for the 2015-2016 academic semester. Her efforts in the classroom earned her a 4.0 grade point average in Biology-Medical Technology. Ohrdorf is second among Roadrunners in scoring, averaging 10.7 points per game.

She leads the Lady Runners in rebounds with 6.5 per game, 13th in the conference.

» Metro’s club hockey team earns road win The Roadrunner hockey team came away with the 8-1 win against Colorado Mesa Jan. 16 at the Edge Ice Arena. With the win, Metro improved to 4-0-0-0 against the Mavericks for the season sweep. They improved to 15-3-0-1 overall for the season. The Roadrunners will take on the #2 Colorado State Rams Jan. 22 in Fort Collins and will return to their home ice Jan. 23 for a double header against the Rams.

» Rayer named to RMAC Academic Honor Roll Senior guard Eric Rayer was named to the 2015-16 RMAC Men’s Basketball Honor Roll Jan. 18.

Women’s basketball suffered a 61-54 loss to Colorado School of Mines at the Auraria Event Center on Jan. 16.

Metro drops to 7-10 overall and 5-6 in the RMAC while the Orediggers continue to go undefeated in conference play at (13-2, 11-0 RMAC).

A scary moment happened with 5:25 left in the second quarter as junior guard Janae Paine fell hard while driving toward the rim causing the game to stop momentarily. She would return a few minutes later and finish the rest of the game.

Metro went into the half trailing the Orediggers 32-27.

Sophomore center Hannah Stipanovich was the player the Roadrunners went to all game.

She made her presence known in the paint scoring 14 points shooting 6-of-14 from the field to go along with her 10 rebounds in 28 minutes.

“Down the stretch we couldn’t make the crucial shots and we couldn’t run our plays like we

wanted too,” Stipanovich said.

Freshman guard Jaelynn Smith added 12 points shooting 57 percent from the field in 28 minutes of playing time.

However, Metro had no answer for Colorado Mines as junior forward Courtney Martin netted 20 points, seven rebounds while shooting 44 percent from the field.

Colorado Mines guard Emily Bailey had a great night as well as she shot 50 percent from the field and scored 15 points from beyond the arc.

At the end, the Orediggers were too much for the Roadrunners to handle as Colorado Mines’ bench combined for 22 points to Metro’s 14.

“We have to make shots and we have to get stops,” Head Coach Tanya Haave said. “Tonight was a good start though in terms of toughness, battling and competing.

We will continue to work to get better every day.”

Metro’s women’s basketball team will travel to South Dakota where they will face Black Hills State Jan. 22 and South Dakota Mines Jan. 23.

Orediggers outlast furious comeback

By Andrew Rochford arochfo2@msudenver.edu After coming off a four point win against Colorado Christian University the previous night, Metro was defeated by rival Colorado School of Mines at the Auraria Event Center Jan 16.

With only 15 seconds remaining in the game, the Roadrunners pulled to within two points after Mines’ guard Luke Schroepfer turned the ball over on an inbound pass. The Orediggers, however, was bailed out at the free throw line making their final four to complete the 70-65 victory.

“Every time we got into a rhythm, we bailed a guy out with fouling,” head Coach Derrick Clark said. “We just fouled too much tonight.”

Both teams shot 41 percent in the first half with the Roadrunners trailing 32-27. They have trailed at this point several times throughout the season. Another key factor in Colorado Mines

lead was their 18-10 advantage in points in the paint.

Metro started the second half strong on an 18-10 run getting their biggest lead of the game at 45-42. That stretch included a 3 point shot and multiple layups by senior guard Tony Dobbinson.

“Tony was offensive minded,” Clark said. “There were stretches where it was hard to get a bucket and he bailed us out. He took the challenge and he put it on his shoulders and scored tonight. He did a good job.”

Dobbinson was aggressive, frequently looking for his shot throughout the game. He scored a team high 23 points attaching three rebounds and two assists to his box score.

Coming off the bench for the Roadrunners was junior guard Brian Howard who added 15 points. He was the only nonstarter to score on the night. Peter

» Continued from PG 12

Moller and Enrique CortesZotes added 10 and nine points, respectively.

Junior guard Gokul Natesan is the Orediggers leading scorer averaging 22 points per game. In order to get his points this game he had to earn them from the line off a series of hard fouls. He scored 15 of his 17 points from the line, adding four assists and two steals.

Natesan was 1-of-9 from the field, his only make was from inside the 3 point line.

“Gokul got to the line 18 times and that makes the whole difference,” Moller said. “That’s way too much.”

Caleb Waitsman lived in the paint for Mines scoring all 17 of his 19 in that area. Schroepfer was the key man from the outside making three 3 pointers and scoring 11 points total.

In addition to taking advantage in points in the paint 30-24, the Orediggers took advantage of Roadrunner

turnovers. They were able to capitalize scoring 17 points off turnovers.

“We have to continue to get better offensively,” Clark said. “We have to have a mixture of getting easy transition baskets. We’re having a difficult time scoring in the half court.”

The Roadrunners only forced four turnovers, leading to just four fast break points. The usual second half turnaround never fully materialized due to strong half-

court defense from the Orediggers.

With the loss, the Roadrunners sit at a 9-8 overall record, (7-4 conference) in the first half of the season. With 12 games remaining, the Runners still have a shot at the playoffs come March.

Metro will look to bounce back on January 22nd at Black Hills State and South Dakota Mines the following night in South Dakota.

Runners stay competitive at Potts Invitational

By Keenan McCall kmccall3@msudenver.edu The Roadrunner women’s and men’s track and field teams competed in Boulder at the Potts Invitational Jan. 16.

Head coach Nick Maas weighed in with a question and answer on the meet.

all?

Q: How do you feel the team did over-

A: This meet was a good chance for us to get our younger runners a chance to progress and learn how to compete in a collegiate environment. We accomplished that and got to see where we need improvements at this early juncture in the season.

Q: Were there any standout performances or students that are making good progress?

A: Lauren Silacci ran a great race in the 800 meters, improving by a significant amount over her previous personal best. I would look out for her this year as she has potential to do some special things in the mile during this indoor season.

Q: What hopes do you have for the rest of the season?

A: Every year brings us a new challenge and this year’s challenge is preparing our young runners to compete at an NCAA

level every week and improving on performances. We hope to qualify our Distance Medley Relay to the NCAA Championships during the indoor season for our men’s and women’s team. We also hope to have a couple of men and women qualify for the national championships in March and continue our streak of NCAA qualifiers and All-American performers.

Q: Are there any athletes you know of that have a set goal for the season?

A: Each of our athletes have big goals, we sit down with each of them prior to the season and speak about those goals and try to adjust them as the season progresses. Our upper classmen want to end their careers with a bang and show their continued hard work has led them somewhere. Our under classmen want to show that they belong at this level and that they can contend with the best our conference, region and nation have to offer.

Q: Is there a big meet coming up that you’re looking to be prepared for?

A: We have a couple of big meets in the next few weeks. In three weeks we will try to compete at the University of New Mexico with some of our top performers and try to attain some qualifying marks for the NCAA Championships. Other than that we will prepare for each week as a top meet and try to improve each time out.

The women’s A team consisted of freshman Lauren Samuelson, Bowen, Maas and Silacci as they earned Metro the first place finish with a time of 4:28.29. The men’s A team consisted of Moreno, Boyd, Boss and Ard. They also finished in first place for Metro with a score of 3:47.13.
