Senators disagree on student court

Collene Lewis clewis66@msudenver.edu

From April 8 -14, students can vote on student government candidates, student fees, a smoking ban and an updated student government constitution.

The newest version of the constitution would remove the student court from SGA. The student court is MSU Denver’s equivalent to the judicial branch of government. The court meets for one hour each month and settles disputes between students, clubs and members of SGA. Stephen Young, student court associate justice, said he finds the student court necessary, because it provides students a learning experience.

“Most people in student government know how it works now in the federal government, but if you get that experience where you’re a member of the executive committee and there is no check on your power, then how will you comport yourself in the real world?” Young asked.

Seth Harris, Political Science Association president and SGA trustee candidate, said one of the goals when establishing the student government was to mirror the federal government by creating parallels of all three branches.

“Without that student court, one of those main components is completely done away with,” Har-

ris said.

Harris mentioned the idea of checks and balances and its impact on the student government.

He said without the student court, the branches could act without review when following the constitution.

Harris also said although an advisory board would replace the student court, a binding decision is important when people are behaving inappropriately.

“They’re an advisory board,” Harris said. “Anything that they see as an issue will purely be taken under advisement, rather than being a binding decision.”

On the opposite end of the spectrum, Laura Noe, student government president, said there are more severe problems associated with the student court. She said the student court has a lack of organization when it’s needed and there was no formal training for student court members.

“It’s really an as-needed job, but they’re a stipend position,” Noe said. “So they get paid every month, but we don’t need them every month.”

Noe also said the court had understood their job in SGA differently than originally intended.

“The court has interpreted their governing documents, the bylaws for the court and also the constitution in the past to say they are more of a supreme court, and they make the final say on everything in the

“[The student court] gets paid every month, but we don’t need them every month.”

organization,” Noe said.

Noe said the best solution to these problems is to take the court outside of SGA and move it to student conduct and conflict resolution services through the creation of a student review board.

“We thought it would be great if we just moved the court to that office,” Noe said. “That way it’s external. No one in SGA is making decisions on who is on that board, and Laura Roth, also as an administrator, stays here each year.”

Roth is the assistant dean of student conduct and conflict resolution services.

One member of SGA would rather see changes made to the existing student court.

Brogan Davey, student senate vice speaker and SGA presidential

candidate, said he didn’t initially understand the relevance of the student court and that it was suggested for removal because less and less students were using it.

But Davey would like to see the student court regain importance in SGA. “Rather than working towards keeping [the student court] and overcoming our problems and learning how to fix them, we’re throwing them away,” he said.

Amid opposing views, student conduct and conflict resolution services is preparing to accommodate SGA judicial matters.

Roth said students trained to be on the student conduct hearing boards will handle disputes from SGA. She also said additional train-

ing for the conduct board members has been planned to meet SGA’s needs.

“I think the students on the conduct board would be effective because they are trained to approach code of conduct violations in a fair, unbiased and equitable way,” Roth said.

Employers offer careers at annual job fair Lee Ridley lridley1@msudenver.edu Handshakes, nervous smiles and lively conversations filled the Tivoli Turnhalle as job seekers roamed aisles and talked with potential employers at the Auraria Spring Job Fair April 4.

Representatives from 65 employers promoted their organizations and offered information about internships and full-time opportunities. Many offered promotional items such as lip balm, pens and candy.

About 630 people attended the fair, according to the MSU Denver Career Services office.

Some arrived ready to interview, wearing suits, making eye contact and handing out copies of their résumés. Others strolled casually through the throngs, stopping to chat occasionally. Students, alumni and even a Boston resident, who was visiting her sister in Denver, attended the fair.

“I’m looking for two internships and I have a stack of résumés right now that are looking good,” said Rome Tantengco, a recruiter

with navigational company Jeppesen. “I’m probably going to have a hard time picking.”

Tantengco went on to say that MSU Denver’s aviation program produces qualified candidates who have the technical and customer service skills they need. He said this fair had a good turnout.

Recruiters Gary Norton and Matt Ōven, with Ken-Caryl Ranch Open Space, also said they had met several qualified candidates with environmental science, biology and criminal justice backgrounds. They said they had already scheduled

two interviews with candidates they met at the fair.

“We’ve had a good day. I’ve taken more résumés today than I have at other career fairs in a few weeks,” said Jaclyn Hennessey, a recruiter with maunfactuer Sherwin-Williams. Hennessey said she was hiring for management trainees and summer interns for a four-state region.

Job seeker Kellie Lankutis, an MSU Denver 2012 graduate with a B.S. in marketing, said she made some good contacts and was ready to start following up.

“I got some good business cards and people saying, ‘Give me a call,’ so I think that’s just about follow-through. You say you’re going to call them, you call them,” Lankutis said.

Not all attendees found promising job leads. Brandi Batt, a CU Denver sophomore majoring in civil engineering, and MSU sophomore Natalie Naranchuluun, a geology major, both said they were looking for internships but didn’t find anything in their fields.

ESRI award may offer new study abroad opportunity Bryan Luchene bluchene@msudenver.edu

The Earth and Atmospheric Sciences department is initiating a new study abroad program to map rock glaciers in Chile.

An award from ESRI, a leading provider of geographic information systems software, or GIS, is providing the resources that will make this research possible.

“What we want to do — in a sense — is to change the notion of study abroad,” said Dr. Antonio Bellisario, an assistant professor for the Earth and Atmospheric Sciences department. “We want to link students into the project, not just with the global knowledge,

which the students usually get when going to another country, but to enhance it with undergraduate research.”

“It’s kind of PR on [ERSI’s] end,” said Jason Janke, academic advising activity director for the department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences. “They provide all this product, and then show another application of what you can do with GIS and remote sensing software, and we get the benefit of getting the students involved in a research project.”

Both Janke and Bellisario travelled to Chile over spring break to evaluate the research site. They intend to map and analyze one of many rock glaciers in the Andes of Chile. A rock glacier is a glacier covered with rocky debris that insulates against heat.

“We’re kind of scoping it out this time and next time we’ll take students up and conduct some field work and get some measurements,” Janke said.

The ESRI award responsible for kickstarting this research opportunity is valued at more than $100,000. It includes software and detailed imagery that can be used to track and analyze a lot of data, including glacial growth and movement, as well as the amount of water contained in the glaciers, Janke said.

The software works like a beefed-up Google Earth, according to Tim Erickson, a MSU Denver student in the Earth and Atmospheric Sciences department.

“You can do anything from mapping sewer lines, to mapping, like we were talking about, rock glaciers,” Erickson said. “You can do so many things — I learn something new every day.”

The software is just one of the fringe benefits of the award. The real benefit is the valuable research on an uncharted resource in a developing country. Water is a resource that is becoming more and more valuable with the potential effects of climate change, according to Bellisario.

“Climate change is one of the most important ecological challenges that we have. That is not going to have just an impact on the physical environment, it’s having an impact on our economies,” Bellisario said.

“This is going to trigger a lot of conflict — and we see it already — a lot of conflict when you have more scarcity of resources, key resources like water. With climate change, the glaciers that are going to disappear are the ones that are exposed. These ones, they have a better chance to be there because they’re covered with rock.”

This is precisely why research on these rock glaciers is so important, according to Bellisario.

“It’s acknowledging the problem, to take measures now — not when the problem becomes so big that you don’t know what to do with it,” Bellisario said.

Programs that bring together real-world research and cultural exchange are a boon to students looking for a career in the industry, like Reilly Gayton, an MSU Denver senior studying applied mathematics.

“Programs like that ERSI award would be amazing for a student wanting to go in that direction of studying and doing research,” said Gayton. “You get multicultural perspective and specialized research to tag onto a résumé.”

Transgender visibility

Photo by Katie Avery • kavery1@msudenver.edu

Nyeasha Johnson njohns69@msudenver.edu MSU Denver’s Transgender Day of Visibility helped to show that the GLBT community is growing larger and gaining more support than ever before.

On April 3, in Sigi’s Cabaret in the Tivoli, writer, counselor, and MSU Denver psychology graduate Jennifer Blair shared the story of how she became a happy, successful transgender woman. Blair kicked off her message by talking about transition from male to female. She described it as “being in a box, a social construction that society puts us in.”

Blair said it was difficult to find happiness before her transition because she could not be her true self. She worked as a car salesman for a while and was optimistic about early retirement. Ready for a change,

she quit her job, took on her new identity as “Jennifer” and enrolled at MSU Denver.

“There were so many hands that helped lift me up, I found my bliss,” Blair said.

Blair strives to be a positive role model and advocate for the GLBT community and opened her own private counseling practice in 2005.

Attendees also heard the transgender success story of Jan Scott Frasier. She was previously a successful animation director in Japan. After growing unhappy with life as a man, Frasier decided to make her transition at the age of 35. A storyteller and world traveler, she said animation is still a passion of hers. For now, she is focusing on counseling individuals in the GLBT community and is hoping to open up a private practice in the future.

Rachel Quy, an MSU Denver student, said she had no expectations about the event, but found it to be informative.

“It was good to see people show up,” she said. “What we all want is not just acceptance, but growth. I want people to know I’m just like everyone else: I’m normal, I’m a dork, I like Star Wars and I’m also trans.”

Quy’s friend and fellow attendee Stephanie Sharky, said she felt that education about transgender people was a positive step.

“We live in a world where a large population in the trans community commits suicide,” Sharky said. “Educating the general public would definitely create compassion and bring an understanding to what it means to be transgender, what the experience is. It definitely isn’t an easy one.”

InSight

A photographer’s journey: To the championships and back Rachel Fuenzalida rfuenzal@msudenver.edu To the Roadrunners men’s basketball team: Nov. 11, 2011, or 11-11-11, is a date that only occurs every 100 years. Numerologists believe the synchronicity of the numbers produces good luck and can even possess mystical powers. Although I am not naturally superstitious, I cannot help but agree.

On that day, I covered my first Metro State basketball game where you beat Bemidji State by — go figure — 11 points. The following Thursday, I opened up The Metropolitan to find they had published my very first basketball photo of the always camera-ready DeShawn Phenix. Looking back at the photo, I am disgusted — no offense, DeShawn. It was dark, blurry and an off-moment. However, at the time, it was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen.

Needless to say, I was hooked.

I rearranged my work schedule so I was free to cover all your home games. As the year went on, I knew there was something special about this team, so I jumped at the

chance to cover your run in the Elite Eight. I still remember sitting on the court and watching Montevallo celebrate, but I did not feel sad or defeated. I felt unfulfilled.

There was no closure, and I knew my time covering this team was not over. I certainly reconsidered that notion during the long, slow 18-hour bus ride, but when we got back to Denver, it was decided: I would be back.

There is no numerical significance about the date Nov. 9, 2012, but as I watched Mitchell McCarron explode onto the Metro basketball scene, I knew there was going to be something significant about this year and this team. I could not cover as many games, but every one I saw reaffirmed the notion that I was a part of something special and incredibly rare.

Much to my surprise, I could not resist another 18-hour bus ride to Kentucky to see how this postseason turned out. I have never been so relieved as when you beat Franklin Pierce and I did not have to turn around and get on that bus immediately. Hanging out in the media room over the next couple days, the consensus was clear —

no one was giving you a chance against behemoth West Liberty.

Most of those guys could hardly remember your names, calling you Jameson Morse and Dimitri Miller, as they did their pre-game reports. They were too busy talking about how much fun they were going to have in Atlanta. Well guess what — Atlanta was amazing and I guarantee they will never forget your names, your performances, or that feeling they had while they sat on the court and watched you all celebrate.

Obviously, this weekend did not turn out how we all wanted, but this is the gruesome side of sports. In the coming days, weeks and months I really hope you resist the urge to think about how the game ended and all the “whatif” situations that are undoubtedly running through your mind.

Instead, I hope you remember all the nets you got to cut down, flying on private jets, signing autographs, throwing up the shocker to all the Wichita State fans and anything else that made you smile. Everyone knows what it feels like to lose, but only a handful of exceptional athletes know how it feels to play in

a national championship. I promise, every opponent you have ever faced on a basketball court would gladly have switched places with you on Sunday night even knowing the outcome. You played in the most epic and impactful Division II game ever.

You will forever be my team.

You helped me discover a passion and the direction that I want to pursue in my life. I became a better photographer, worker and person in my time with you, and I am eternally grateful that I got be a small part of this huge event. To Coach Clark, I hope you know that you are inspiring to more than just basketball players.

I know I can speak on behalf of all the Metro State media personnel when I say thank you to the players, the coaches and the administration for letting us be a part of this journey. It has forever changed our lives.

Every time I see 11:11 on a clock or a calendar, I will think of you and how undeniably lucky I am.

All my love and gratitude, Photo Girl

Gun control only part of the solution Lee Ridley lridley1@msudenver.edu Like any controversial, emotionally-charged social issue, gun control flounders in a turbulent gray sea. There is no definitive black or white answer to how much gun control legislation is acceptable or necessary.

Colorado is leading the nation, with Connecticut on its heels, in trying to find some kind of answer. Colorado legislators have thrust us into the national spotlight with the passage of three gun control bills. Gov. John Hickenlooper signed them March 20, eight months after the Aurora theater shootings. The laws require universal background checks for all gun sales and bans ammunition clips that hold more than 15 rounds.

Connecticut followed suit and signed a similar bill limiting highcapacity clips April 3, the same day President Obama — while visiting Colorado — applauded lawmakers’ willingness to tackle these issues.

None of these laws tramples heavily on gun owners’ rights. If they save even one innocent life, they are worth it. Yes, universal background checks are a bit of red tape for responsible, law-abiding gun buyers. And yes, background checks would not have prevented many killers from obtaining their weapons. But background checks will make obtaining a gun harder for people who have been convicted of violent crimes or have troubling mental health histories.

Limiting clips to 15 rounds might buy potential victims and bystanders a few precious seconds to escape or intervene. At the bill signing, Hickenlooper told supporters larger-capacity magazines “have the potential to turn killers into killing machines.” The Arizona shooter who shot Rep. Gabby Giffords paused in his shooting spree to reload. In those few seconds, a 61-year-old woman grabbed the new clip out of his hands, and then bystanders tackled him and wrestled the gun away.

Then there are “smart guns.” Various technologies already exist — such as radio frequency and biometric sensors, and new ones that show promise — are being developed. The Obama administration is supportive of this approach to reduce gun violence. The Connecticut school shooter used his mother’s guns, so in theory, those guns would not have fired for

him had they been “smart guns.”

However, people on both sides of the gun control debate have expressed concerns over the technology. Gun control advocates fear that the technology will give a false sense of safety and result in more gun ownership. On the flip side, gun proponents worry that the technology infringes on personal rights, particularly if it is mandated by the government. They also express concern over a dead battery or a technological glitch that could result in the gun failing to protect them.

No amount of gun control or technology will prevent all gun violence.

Those determined to shoot will find a way.

One of our best defenses against gun violence is prevention through education. Mental health awareness and a safe, easy way for students — and employees in any workplace — to notify authorities about questionable behavior could do more than gun control laws. In many mass shootings, shooters exhibited worrisome behavior prior to the incident.

On April 5 The Denver Post reported that the Aurora theater shooter’s psychiatrist warned police about his alarming behavior, but it is currently unclear how police reacted to the information. Perhaps our only takeaway from this will be that the next time someone reports potentially dangerous behavior, others will listen and act.

When prevention fails, the last defense could include better physical barriers and teaching potential victims how to react. Installing bulletproof doors, locks and windows in schools (or other public places) could buy time for potential victims until law enforcement arrives. In many shootings, school personnel or bystanders intervened and prevented further deaths. Coaching potential victims on how to react and resist instead of sitting like ducks while a shooter is on a rampage could save lives.

For many of us the thought of our girlfriend, mother, brother, son, best friend or any loved one becoming the victim of a senseless shooting is enough to say yes to a bit of Big Brother gun control and technology. I’d like to see more effort around educating and arming citizens with tools to recognize and react to potential threats before those threats become realities.

Snow talks genocide, war, AIDS and propaganda

By Kelli Heitstuman-Tomko and Aaron Lambert ktomko@msudenver.edu alamber8@msudenver.edu Things are not what they seem.

Images of impoverished and starving children in Africa are usually intended to raise awareness and garner support to end a seemingly terrible world travesty.

However, for Keith Harmon Snow, these images cause him to raise an eyebrow.

Snow, an esteemed journalist, photographer and human rights activist, visited Auraria last Thursday and shared his experiences of investigating genocide and war crimes in various regions of Africa through the 90s and into the 2000s. His presentation provided students and professors alike with unique insight into the world of investigative journalism and war reporting.

Invited to speak by Gabriel Finkelstein, a UCD associate professor of history, Snow focused his presentation and discussion on Africa and on what he feels are lies perpetuated by mass media outlets about what humanitarian, nongovernment and research groups are doing on the continent to reduce the population and exploit diamond and mineral mines.

Through his extensive research and reporting, Snow has concluded that much of what the American people know about the wars and genocide in African regions such as Sudan, Rwanda, Congo, and Uganda is obscured by the Western media’s disguising with what he calls “propaganda” using humanitarian projects or other facades as a means to deceive people.

“One of the major themes of the Western media is to create these images that suggest to us that Africa is a dark, unfathomable place and the violence cannot be understood, certainly not by reasonable and civilized people,” Snow said. “That’s the propaganda.”

A self-identified “independent war correspondent,” Snow no longer writes or blogs, but instead speaks to groups on the injustices he said he has found.

During the discussion portion, Snow told the listeners in the classroom that the government ruling Rwanda from 1990 to 1994 claimed to be using Pentagon-created remote sensing equipment to track gorillas and their habitats, but were instead using them to track rebels

and refugees of “the U.S.-backed invasion of the Congo.”

As Snow talked, he offered no proof of the claims that he was making, but made it clear that every story of heroic inspiration and report of aid from organizations within the African continent was not to be believed. Referring to U.S. police and military as “bad guys with guns,” Snow accused the U.S. of being perpetrators of wars in Africa and liars who covered the truth from the public.

“The truth of the matter is that the U.S. secretly invaded Rwanda from Uganda in 1990,” Snow said.

“The Rwanda Patriotic Front won in 1994, and we were all hearing this story about Hotel Rwanda.”

Snow’s overt cynicism concerning any charitable institution made it clear that he sees no hope of honest aid to the people of the African continent. “[Charitable institutions] are there for a capitalist reason,” Snow said. “Someone is selling you something.”

Snow said American clinics in Africa, such as the Clinton Foundation and the Jane Goodall Institute, were using controversial birth control treatments such as Norplant and treating false cases of HIV to reduce the number of villagers surrounding areas rich with minerals.

“It became clear that Jane Goodall and [the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund] after [Fossey] died became part of the establishment selling lies and covering up what was really going on in Central Africa,” Snow said.

Members of the audience, including Finklestein, challenged some of the claims Snow made.

“I think we’re seeing some unethical pharmaceutical testing,” Finkelstein said. “But I don’t think there’s anything nefarious going on.”

According to its website, the Jane Goodall Institute does not deal with global health — they don’t even deal with humans, only apes.

Patrick Kaniki, a Congolese national and member of the Congo Community of Colorado, also didn’t feel that Snow’s claim that health clinics or charities were to blame for genocides in the Congo was accurate. Rather, he blamed governments fighting for mineral rights to coltan, a mineral used in cell phone manufacturing, which is mined in the Congo.

“They want to dig on the min-

erals,” Kaniki said. “They create a war, move people out and use the mines. The only way to exploit coltan is to move the local people and take the mines.”

Snow also targeted the Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington D.C., which Snow said was vaccinating the military against malaria but allowing tens of thousands of civilians to die from malaria and similar diseases, such a dengue fever, while making a show of humanitarianism by curing Ebola, a disease he said had killed only 290 people. Snow offered no proof of these claims, only speculation.

Both the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization report that there are no vaccines for either malaria or dengue fever.

Over the course of his talk, Snow suggested that college professors, economists and businessmen he dealt with were covert CIA agents and backed up a few of his theories with controversial writings that were either disputed or discredited. He felt that giving his talk helped fight the propaganda of the mainstream media.

“All I care is everybody raises questions all the time and considers them,” he said.

During a short Q&A portion, Snow fielded questions from skeptical students, including several who questioned if Snow was using propaganda.

“I [am] giving you propaganda,” Snow said. “But I want you to believe it’s true; I believe it’s true, [and] from my point of view, I have no motives to deceive. Don’t

believe anyone, but ask what their motives are. My truth is a side of the truth that you don’t ever see, but you shouldn’t believe it. You should go out and see for yourself and figure it out.”

Snow’s motives for sharing this information aren’t to incite guilt in anybody. He simply wants to raise awareness, and encourage people to think for themselves.

“Don’t feel guilty about any of this. If you [feel guilty], see a therapist,” he says. “It’s pointless. We are all complicit, but we don’t need to carry the weight of guilt and shame that keeps us from taking any action to build a better world. That’s part of the systems’ propaganda, that we are individuals who cannot make a difference. Every single person can make a difference.”

“Beeronomics” bring more business than brew Reeanna Lynn Hernandez rherna60@msudenver.edu “Beeronomics” was not an event providing free beer to college students. It was, however, quite an insightful lecture.

Steve Gohmann, a professor from the Department of Economics at the University of Louisville, came to Auraria to speak to students April 4 in the Tivoli.

The lecture, which was entitled “Exploring Economic Freedom: Beeronomics — why there are so few breweries in the South,” was the second installment of the Spring 2013 Exploring Economic Freedom series. The first installment, called “Exploring Economic Freedom: The Illusion of Authority” was held on March 5.

In the lecture, Gohmann touched on the issue of government policies in the U.S. and how these policies impact the number of microbreweries in the South.

Gohmann said that some of these factors include prohibition laws which limit or restrict the sale of alcohol, as well as religion, water resources and cultural demographic. He then stressed the importance of knowing how these issues play a major role in the overall economic well-being of the

Prohibition lasted 13 years, 10 months, 19 days, 17 hours, 32 minutes and 30 seconds.

country as a whole.

“Having fewer breweries in the South impacts the economics of our country,” Gohmann said. “I chose this topic because it is a good economic principle to understand.”

Jeremiah Rawlings, an economics major at MSU Denver, liked how the lecture touched on a broad spectrum of economic

issues.

“The lecture really brought home basic economic principles,” Rawlings said. “I liked that he was able to put an economic model to the distribution of microbreweries and explain it using real-life principles.”

Bruce Koopman, also an economics major at MSU Denver,

appreciated how the topic was relevant to a broader range of economic issues.

“I thought that he picked an interesting topic and delved into it really well,” Koopman said. “I liked how it related not only to the beer industry but to all businesses.”

Cold War Kids stay strange

“On The Road” a pleasant surprise

Nikki Work nwork@msudenver.edu

J. Sebastian Sinisi sinisi2@msn.com

The Cold War Kids are back and as weird as ever.

Dear Miss Lonelyhearts, the new album that dropped April 2, is just as zany as I expected from the band, whose discordant hit “Hang Me Up to Dry” has been stuck in my head since 2007.

From the first note of opening track “Miracle Mile,” I was hooked — the track is bright, fun, and is every bit as addictive as an opening track should be. But happy song addicts be warned — though there are some up-tempo and shiny moments on Lonelyhearts it takes a much more mellow turn by the second track. After the first song, I felt like I was in a complicated and intricate spin cycle of emotions.

This is anything but background music. Each track has its own distinct vibe, ranging from

Having been a Jack Kerouac fan for decades, I very much wanted the recently-released “On the Road” movie to be a decent flick, although I feared the worst.

But the production by Brazilian director Walter Salles proved a pleasant surprise and was excellent in terms of casting, sweeping cinematography of the American West, musical choices and the details of American life in the late 1940s.

Despite having a pair of Brits playing Jack Kerouac and Neal Cassady — called Sal Paradise (Sam Riley) and Dean Moriarty (Garrett Hedlund) in the book and movie — Salles’ effort exceeded expectations.

Hedlund is convincing as Kerouac’s Denver muse and madman-

echoey and haunting to trilling and intense. Lead singer Nathan Willet’s warbling voice complements the varied use of distortion and random, plunking piano. As each track vaults from bouncy to mellow, it makes it hard to focus on anything but the musical whiplash. Don’t try to mutltitask — this album demands full attention.

The album is sometimes choppy, sometimes fluid, but consistently awesome — and just as unusual as what I hoped to hear.

driver Moriarty who doesn’t need meth to go through life as a speedfreak demon juggling several women at once on a round-theclock timetable.

Kristen Stewart and Kirsten Dunst are also convincing as two of Moriarty’s often-scorned women. Alongside exuberant Moriarty, Paradise as the narrator takes a literal backseat in the car, novel and movie. In real life, Kerouac himself was more of an observer than active participant in the pre-hippie “Beat Generation” that “On the Road” helped launch 10 years after the novel’s events.

The prototype “Beats” came together at New York’s Columbia University around 1944 and we get appearances, in the movie, of icons Allen Ginsberg (Tom Sturridge) and William Burroughs (Viggo Mortenson).

wheel before interstate highways, Kerouac wrote “On the Road” on a continuous scroll of gluedtogether teletype paper, fueled by Benzedrine, in a six-week burst early in 1951. Considered risqué, it wasn’t published until September, 1957, after which Kerouac gained overnight fame.

One critic compared the novel to Ernest Hemingway’s 1926 “The Sun Also Rises” as an anthem for a generation while Truman Capote sniffed: “that’s not writing, it’s typing.”

Columbia is missing in the movie. So are on-location shots in Denver where much of the narrative takes place — especially skid-row Larimer Street — although Salles shot other scenes in Montreal, Mexico, California and Argentina.

No matter. Famed fi lm critic Roger Ebert, who died last week, might have given this a “two thumbs up.” So would I.

In reverent memory of famed film critic Roger Ebert, this week’s Rants+Raves Rating System has been modified to his iconic “Thumbs up/ Thumbs down” stamp of approval/disapproval.The Metropolitan was deeply saddened to hear the news of Ebert’s death, and dedicates this issue’s reviews to him.

Two thumbs up, Mr. Ebert.

Runners Wrap-up Baseball Metro baseball won three of four games at Colorado Christian University April 5-6.

CCU carried a 3-0 lead into the third inning of game one, where Metro tied the game at three on sophomore center fielder Mitch Gibbon’s sacrifice fly to center field, and sophomore outfielder Jeff Levett’s two-run homer to left field. The Cougars handed Metro a 10-9 loss.

In game two, senior starting pitcher Justin Arceneaux gave up one earned run on nine hits over seven innings. Gibbons, who went 2-for-3 with two RBIs and one run scored in the 5-1 victory, aided the Runners’ offense.

A three-run first inning proved to be all the runs Metro needed in a 3-1 win in game three. Sophomore pitcher Nick Hammett threw nine strong innings for the Roadrunners, striking out eight of the 38 batters he faced.

Hammett gave up one earned run and five hits en route to his second win of the season.

In the final game, Metro turned an early 1-0 deficit into an 8-1 advantage and won 10-5.

Softball Metro softball lost to Chadron State College and Fort Lewis College April 6-7 in Nebraska.

Sophomore shortstop Susie Oury put Metro up 1-0 with an RBI double in the top of the third inning in game one, but lost 4-2.

Down 6-0 after three innings in game two, the Roadrunners hung nine runs in the top of the fourth inning versus Fort Lewis. The two teams entered the seventh tied at 10, when the Skyhawks doubled in the winning run off Hernandez. Junior first baseman Stephanie Dunham went 2-for-2 with one RBI and two runs in the 11-10 loss.

Metro lost game three, 5-3. Junior middle infielder Dani Sandel tied the game at three in the bottom of the fifth inning with a solo home run to center field. Hernandez pitched seven innings for Metro and took the loss, surrendering 10 hits and five earned runs.

In game four, Chadron State had a grand slam in the bottom of the third inning. Metro tied the game at six. The Skyhawks broke a 6-6 tie with a walkoff, solo homerun in the bottom of the seventh inning, winning 7-6.

The Lady Runners are 12-21, in the midst of a four-game losing streak.

Roadrunners fall short of national title Angelita Foster amayer1@msudenver.edu

The disappointment was visible and emotions still raw, as Jonathan Morse, Demetrius Miller, Tyler Cooper and Derrick January filed into a press conference after a 74-73 loss for the NCAA Division II men’s basketball national title.

As the four seniors prepared to answer questions about the game, Metro head coach Derrick Clark told his team, “Chins up.”

“This is the truest statement that I can say in this situation is: we didn’t lose the national championship, Drury won it,” Clark said. “We played for the national championship two hours ago, and they can’t live in disappointment. They made some memories that they’re going to look back, and with time, they are going to heal and smile back on this.”

The Roadrunners had a stellar 32-3 season, but ended it as runners-up to No. 7 Drury University (Mo.) April 7 at Philips Arena in Atlanta.

Miller started the game off in championship fashion, sinking one from outside the arc — putting the Roadrunners You get high-character guys, up 3-0 in the first minute of play and sending the they buy into what you’re crowd of nearly 7,800 into doing, they believe to the a frenzy.

It looked like it might depths of their soul — what be a game of threes when more could a coach ask for?”

Panthers sophomore guard Drake Patterson —head coach responded with back-toback 3-pointers. Then, Derrick Clark Metro sophomore guard Mitch McCarron added three, putting the Runners up 10-6, only to be answered by Panthers senior guard Alex Hall with an outside shot of his own, making it a onepoint game in the first four minutes.

Junior guard Brandon Jefferson then scored 10 points for the Roadrunners in a two-minute period. He maneuvered through traffic and put up a fade-away jumper with 9:08 left in the first half, putting his team up 20-17. Then, he was fouled and sunk both free throws. Jefferson made his next two from outside the arc. The Roadrunners were up 30-22 with less than six minutes remaining in the half. >> Continued on page 13

Metro men’s and women’s tennis fell to Western New Mexico 9-0 and 5-4, respectively, April 5 at Gates Tennis Center.

“On the guys’ side, you always know that New Mexico is pretty strong. They won the conference tournament the last couple of years,” head coach Beck Meares said.

The women’s matchup was between the two highest ranked teams in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference.

“On the girls’ side, we knew it was going to be a tight match. We played them in Arizona, and even though the overall score wasn’t as tight, the matches were. It was going to go either way,” Meares added.

Roadrunners’ No. 1 doubles Gabriel Vlahos/Adrien Delvaux, took the match to the end, but lost to the No. 8 ranked Mustangs doubles team.

“Our doubles match was really close. The challenges we were facing were pretty much breaking their serve,” senior Vlahos said. “We were making our serve every time, and we had some break points, but we couldn’t play very well in the break points.”

The women’s No. 2 doubles, Sam Schall/Marianne Evangelista, won 8-6, as did No. 3 doubles Nicole Herrmann/Nikki Amos, who won 8-5. No. 1 doubles Cara Cromwell/Alicia Holm fell 9-8.

The singles matchups took a turn for the worse for the Roadrunners.

“I would like for us to win all of them,” Cromwell said.

The Mustangs won 4-of-6 in singles matchups. Metro’s No. 5 singles Herrmann and No. 6 singles Schall both won their matches.

>> continued from page 12 The first half ended with a 3-pointer from Panthers senior guard Brandon Lockhart, but the Roadrunners headed to the locker room up 39-27.

Metro seemed to control the first half of the game with their trademark defense. They outrebounded the Panthers 39-27, had 12 steals, and converted the turnovers into 19 points.

“We really just played to win,” Miller said. “We played our solid play in the first half, and we just tried to execute as good as we could with turnovers, which led to

our big lead.”

The Panthers opened the second half when Hall hit a three in the first 15 seconds and led his team on a 21-10 run. Hall hit another three from outside the arc with 9:20 left in the game and gave the Panthers a 59-58 lead.

The Panthers’ lead was brief, as Metro sophomore forward/center Nicholas Kay put in a quick layup to regain the lead.

The Roadrunners led by six with 3:51 left, but the Panthers’ defense held them from scoring and forced two turnovers. The Runners were up 73-69 with 3:19 left to play, when sophomore forward Cameron Adams scored for the Panthers,

making it a one-point game.

“They hit a lot of threes going down the stretch in the second half,” Morse said. “There were some defensive mistakes on our part, but give them credit — they converted and we didn’t.”

The Roadrunners’ Miller fouled out with 2:09 left. Adams went to the free-throw line at the minute mark and had a chance to put the Panthers up. He missed both shots, but redeemed himself by making one of the next two from the line.

Jefferson — an 80 percent free throw shooter, and Kay — a 78 percent shooter, both had chances to seal the win for the Roadrunners at the charity stripe, but missed.

“If you said ‘coach, get into this situation again and pick the guy you want shooting,’ those guys, Nicholas Kay and BJ, would be in my top three,” Clark said.

Drury’s Hall grabbed the rebound off of Kay’s miss, fell to the floor and drew the foul. Hall hit both of his free throws, putting the Panthers up 74-73.

The Roadrunners made a last run, with 22.8 seconds on the clock. McCarron missed a baseline layup with four seconds left, and ran out of time on a second attempt to score.

Metro didn’t leave the paint as champions, but they played with high energy and put up an incred-

ible fight right up until the final buzzer rang.

Clark said that the seniors who played their last game were invaluable to the Roadrunners’ quest for the championship.

“You get high-character guys, they buy into what you’re doing, they believe to the depths of their soul — what more could a coach ask for?” Clark said.

BELLY DANCING

YOGA NIDRA (DEEP RELAXATION)

Women of the Middle East have enjoyed belly dancing for centuries, celebrating life and the joy of the soul through this expressive art. This fun and exciting dance form is a great aerobic and toning workout, providing the means for improving posture and self-confidence.

Take time out from your busy life to recharge your batteries. Yoga Nidra is a simple, deep relaxation and meditation practice done from lying down. It is a systematic method of releasing accumulated tensions, resulting in profound physical, mental and emotional relaxation. Use this ancient yogic tool to manage stress and improve sleep. The first part of the class will prepare participants for deep relaxation through simple yoga asanas and pranayamas (postures and breathing).

NIA A creative, free-spirited and fun barefoot fitness dancing form, Nia combines principles and concepts from the dancing arts, healing arts and martial arts.

PILATES Pilates is a series of floor exercises that increase strength, coordination and flexibility, while promoting uniform muscle development and enhancing postural alignment.

All of the exercises are linked to a specific breath pattern that deepens core engagement and helps relieve stress.

Pilates believes that all movement stems from the core and can therefore be performed safely.

FLOW YOGA Flow Yoga is an active style of yoga linking poses together with rhythmic breathing. Generally more physically challenging than Hatha Yoga, Flow Yoga calms the mind and tones the body.

HATHA YOGA Postures play a primary role in Hatha Yoga, as do specific breathing techniques and meditation practices. All are intended to calm the mind and uplift the spirit, and nourish the mind and body on every level.
