Hickenlooper stumps at Auraria

By Andrew Bisset abisset1@msudenver.edu Incumbent Gov. John Hickenlooper spoke at the Governor Candidates Forum in the Tivoli Turnhalle Oct. 28, fielding questions from a panel of Auraria students.

His main gubernatorial rival, Bob Beauprez, was invited but did not appear at the event, instead attending a meet-and-greet at a Douglas County shooting range.

The Auraria event was coordinated by the Community College of Denver’s Student Government Association.

The first member of the panel asked Hickenlooper about his plan for dealing with the issue of homelessness in Colorado. He responded by elaborating on how, when he was mayor of Denver, he had tried to help the non-homeless population understand what he termed “the absurdity of homelessness” through outreach.

Hickenlooper talked about his plan to maintain “wraparound services,” including job training and social services for the homeless, and the continuation of successful programs like One Congregation One Family, spearheaded by Hickenlooper’s mayoral administration and the Denver Rescue Mission in 2005.

“I do love the idea of three different types of colleges, very different cultures and very different characters coming together to be a community. It’s kind of a little metaphor for America in a way.”

— Gov. John Hickenlooper Next, the governor addressed the Jefferson County School Board controversy.

“The point of any good education is to create a moral framework by which we are repulsed by acts of hatred or acts of racism,” Hickenlooper said. “For the life of me, I can’t understand why we can’t teach both Martin Luther King and the Boston Tea Party. It’s all of our history. It’s befuddling.”

Hickenlooper addressed transit and infrastructure next, saying that investment is necessary as Colorado’s population increases.

He cited the ongoing FasTracks project as well as flood rebuilding projects in Durango and Fort Collins as having helped provide a “strong recovery” to their cities.

The cost of higher education for in-state students was up next, with Hickenlooper addressing the increasing burden of post-college student debt.

“I think as leaders of the state,

we have an obligation to try to figure out how to put a ceiling on that (debt),” Hickenlooper said. “The highest priority for the legislature and the governor of any state is to make sure that the kids in their state get a real shot at as much higher education as they want.”

Hickenlooper also commented on immigration, saying that comprehensive reform at a federal level is necessary.

When a panel member asked about gun control, Hickenlooper cited statistics detailing the number of people convicted of various crimes who have been stopped from purchasing firearms, including the number of people arrested on warrants while in the process of acquiring guns.

Standardized testing was the next topic, with Hickenlooper taking a reformist stance.

“There are an awful lot of other things we should measure to look at student achievement,” he said.

Next, Hickenlooper responded to a question of whether the risks of marijuana legalization outweighed the tax revenues generated by marijuana sales, pointing out instead that “I don’t think that the hundreds of millions of dollars in tax revenue — yet — should be the measure by which it’s seen. I do think the old system was a disaster; the war on drugs was a failure, we sent millions of young people to jail, predominantly people of color,

for no violent crime, for buying something that you could argue is no more harmful than beer.”

He compared his views on the regulation of the marijuana industry to his own experience as a microbrewer, stating that he believes marijuana should be regulated just as strictly. He also said that marijuana should be “taxed fairly,” and proposed taxation as one way to undercut and eliminate the black market — a black market which he says could put the plant in the hands of children.

The Governor wrapped up the question and answer session by answering a question about his overall plan, stating that middle class job creation and allowing people to have a “dignified retirement” are his highest priorities, and that education, from early childhood to college, is a major component of his jobs plan. He touched on healthcare next, saying that it “really needs to be a right.” He stated he also intends to improve access to general practitioners and preventative medicine in Colorado, as well as addressing the specter of prescription drug abuse.

He closed with a few thoughts on Auraria, saying, “I do love the idea of three different types of colleges, very different cultures and very different characters coming together to be a community.

It’s kind of a little metaphor for America in a way.”

I scream, you scream, we all scream for internet security

By Luis Amaya and Steve Musal lamaya@msudenver.edu smusal@msudenver.edu Not just a month for ghosts and ghouls, October, which is also National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, is a time to learn about monsters on the Internet and how to defend against them.

It’s important to know how to safeguard your personal information online, especially as the online holiday shopping season approaches, and that’s what cybersecurity is all about.

Though many users already own programs to keep their computers free from viruses, many cybersecurity threats come from manipulating people, not machines, said Prabodh Telang, an MSU Denver information technology security administrator.

“The way we see security is that 10 percent is technical and 90 percent is people,” Telang said.

According to the National Cy-

“The way we see security is that 10 percent is technical and 90 percent is people.”

— Prabodh Telang ber Security Alliance, a nonprofit organization working with the Department of Homeland Security to promote cybersecurity awareness, the most common subjects for Internet scams are fake checks; Internet merchandise scams; bogus prizes, sweepstakes and “free” gifts; advance fee loans and credit arrangers, and phishing scams.

Phishing, or the use of scam emails disguised as being from legitimate senders, is designed to trick users into divulging personal information.

“These people will call or send emails that will sound legitimate,” Telang said. “They will tell you that they’re contacting you from

your bank, or will say they’re from the FBI or IRS to get a hold of you, and ask to fill out information that can be critical to you, but (this is) a way for them to misuse your information.”

One such phishing scam struck MSU Denver users over the summer. According to the information technology team, this was a contributing factor in the change to a unified email system.

According to DHS, users should take three steps before going online: “Stop. Think. Connect.”

“Stop: Before you use the Internet, take time to understand the risks and learn how to spot potential problems,” said the DHS website on the program, stopthinkconnect.org. “Think: take a moment to be certain the path ahead is clear. Consider how your actions online could impact your safety, or your family’s. Connect: enjoy the Internet with greater confidence, knowing you’ve taken the right steps to safeguard yourself and your computer.”

Phoenix Center says ‘no capes required’ for heroes

By Emily Fox epennett@msudenver.edu The Phoenix Center at Auraria presented a tri-institutional workshop Oct. 27 in the Tivoli called “You Don’t Need a Cape to be a Superhero.”

The event covered safe tactics for bystander intervention in cases of interpersonal violence.

“The core of the curriculum is really focused around developing strategies, talking about why people don’t intervene, safe ways that you can intervene,” said Jenn Doe, violence prevention education coordinator at the Phoenix Center at Auraria.

Johanna Lopez, a violence prevention educator intern at the Phoenix Center, said that many violent circumstances could be avoided if people knew what they were and how to handle them.

“There are a lot of situations that can be prevented, but they aren’t,” Lopez said. “Not because people don’t care; it’s because they need to know how to identify them.”

Lopez and fellow Phoenix Center intern Jalisa Williams taught the workshop.

“It’s cool because it’s not a teacher, but it’s not just a student standing up there,” Williams said.

Basic definitions of interpersonal violence were given to the class, which got the discussion rolling. The presentation included videos showing examples of successful

bystander interventions. Students were asked to express their thoughts on what they had seen and how they thought they could apply it to their lives.

“I had no idea how easy it would be to just stop something,” said Denver School of Nursing student Cassie Leech, who attended the event.

By encouraging this open conversation, Williams and Lopez formed a safe environment to consider different perspectives and issues.

“It kind of helps people see how they can get involved without getting hurt, which is something that concerns most,” said Lopez.

The Phoenix Center hosts “You Don’t Need a Cape to be a Superhero” regularly. It teamed up with the Healthy Pursuits program in order to receive funding through Campus Recreation and the Health Center at Auraria. The workshop was open to anyone and there was no entry fee.

“We did one in September, we have one coming up Thursday and there will be one in November,” Doe said. “We are looking to schedule dates for next spring as well.”

The Phoenix Center has counselors who talk to victims of interpersonal violence to safely help them out of violent situations.

The Phoenix Center has a unique opportunity to serve MSU Denver, CCD and UCD. “We don’t have (the) kind of a campus population that is living here,” Doe said.

“But our office sees lots of clients that are experiencing forms of violence.”

The Phoenix Center provides resources for those who have experienced sexual assault, domestic violence or stalking. It does not provide long term counseling, legal advice or hate crime counseling, although it has helped people with those needs connect to the proper resources outside of the center.

“If someone experiences a hate crime or something like that, we certainly have places that we can refer individuals to and will offer resources,” Doe said.

The Phoenix Center’s helpline serves the Auraria campus and is available 24/7 at 303-556-CALL(2255).

Health center warns of ‘whiskey business’ of DUI

By Beth Martinez bmart103@msudenver.edu Auraria students took surveys and participated in demonstrations that tested their knowledge of standard drink sizes, harm reduction techniques, ways to stay safe while partying and the dangers of drinking and driving — all as a part of Whiskey Business Oct. 22 and 23.

The tri-institutional event took place at the Tivoli Commons and was sponsored by the Health Center at Auraria in conjunction with National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week, which takes place the third week of every October. Representatives from Auraria Campus Police, Aurora Police Department, and UCD’s conduct office and counseling center helped students learn how to make healthy decisions surrounding alcohol and raised awareness of alcohol related issues facing college students.

“I learned that I could pour a shot and glass of wine perfectly and not to drive after drinking,” said John Hoak, an MSU Denver business management junior. “I am really responsible when I drink and I don’t drink and drive. I designate a sober driver or call my dad. I waited until I was 21 to drink.”

Brian Shelley, an MSU Denver junior majoring in technical communication, said

he avoids drinking and driving by having a plan.

“There are so many ways to get around that you shouldn’t drink and drive,” Shelley said. “Walk, get a taxi or ride the light rail.”

Representatives from the Aurora Police Department raised awareness of driving under the influence with their “police taxi car.” The half police car, half taxi reminds people that they have a choice when they choose to drink, said Sgt. Craig Baumfalk of the Aurora Police: either ride home safely in a cab or take an average $10,000 “ride” to jail in a police car.

“DUI does not discriminate,” Baumfalk said. “It does not matter your age, race, gender or social economic status. Most people do not think it can happen to them or they do not think they are too drunk to drive. It is important for people to be educated on alcohol and have a plan when you go out and choose to drink.”

Baumfalk said the Aurora DUI Task Force, composed of three officers, arrested 1,200 people on suspicion of DUI in 2013.

“Each day, 15 to 20 people are arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence,” Baumfalk said.

According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, four out of five college student’s drink alcohol, and half of these engage in binge drinking. The

institute estimated 1,825 college students between the ages of 18 and 24 die each year from unintentional alcohol-related injuries and more than 690,000 students between the ages of 18 and 24 are assaulted by another student who has been drinking.

In addition to alcohol-related death and injury, NIAAA estimated 97,000 students between the ages of 18 and 24 are victims

of alcohol-related sexual assault and 25 percent of college students report academic consequences of their drinking — including missing class, falling behind, doing poorly on exams or papers and earning lower grades overall.

“We want people to be aware of healthy drinking habits and that there are resources available to students on and off campus if they are having issues with alcohol,” said Beth Sandlin, health education and outreach coordinator for the Health Center at Auraria. “We can offer connections to local Alcoholics Anonymous meetings the Counseling Center on campus and support groups.”

A brochure handed out at the event, titled “What’s a Drink ... and why you need to know,” stated that most people who drink don’t plan to get sick, get hurt or hurt someone else, embarrass themselves or have a hangover the next day.”

Anna Maestas, an MSU Denver sophomore studying itegrative therapeutic practices and a student employee at the health center, said healthy habits can help students be more responsible when drinking.

“Some of those healthy habits include counting your drinks, knowing your limits and how much your body can handle, having a buddy system and designating a sober driver,” Maestas said.

Mario Sanelli Commentary

The monstrosity that is the new Westin Hotel and Conference Center at Denver International Airport is hideous.

The design of the new hotel, set to open in late 2015, baffles me beyond belief. The first time I saw the building I immediately thought, “Why are they building a half-pipe next to the airport?”

This initial thought came to mind because the roof of the hotel resembles a ramp that skateboarders would use to drop in on their boards, and then be catapulted into the air once they reach the other side.

The Denver International Airport South Terminal Redevelopment Program, which also includes an RTD commuter-rail station along with the hotel, was originally budgeted for $500 million. The project is now expected to cost $544 million.

I’m hoping that additional $44 million is funding a technologically advanced heating and

drainage system. Not only is the hotel design unsightly, it also looks like the middle of the roof will provide a nice landing area for the Colorado snow to nestle. But I’m sure the brains behind this operation thought about that when they decided on this design.

Gensler, the architectural firm designing the building, stated on its website that the design is inspired by “imagery of flight and aviation, (and) the sleek form resembles a bird with its wings extended as it hovers above the public plaza, framing and accenting the

acclaimed tents of the Jeppesen Terminal.”

So that’s what it’s supposed to be. I thought the original idea was for a normal looking building, then suddenly and without warning, the middle of the roof began to sink in.

Instead of correcting the problem, the builders just went with it.

I stand corrected. The building is modeled after a form used in flight and aviation. OK, I’m following. Maybe if you squint and tap into your creative side, the building does kind of resemble a hovering bird. Then again, without

previously reading this eloquent description of the building, I thought it resembled a half pipe.

It also looks like the part of a beautician’s sink where you rest your neck to get your hair washed, or even the bottom half of a public humiliation block. If you were, say, a giant, you’d have a place to rest your head with your giant pillow.

I’m sure each of the 519 rooms of the new Westin Hotel will be state-of-the-art. But the hotel itself will also be an eyesore for years to come.

Letter to the editor: It’s time to clean house and disinfect our democracy Greetings MSU Denver, I am Cristine de la Luna, the President of MSU Denver Feminist Alliance.

Today, in partnership with the Feminist Majority Foundation, we gather together to embrace polyvocality and elevate our collective voices against Amendment 67.

I remain concerned that we don’t see sufficient seriousness concerning “dark” money contributors who have used media to circulate distorted facts about Amendment 67. This is yet another form of “backlash” — an undeclared war against American women’s reproductive rights.

Voting “no” on Amendment 67 insists that a women’s reproductive rights may not be rationed, censored or regulated by priests, legislators or bureaucrats.

We must be allowed as voters to make informed choices in the

political market place.

Here’s what Amendment 67, aka the “Personhood Bill,” would really do: • Outlaw all abortions in Colorado, even in cases of rape and incest.

• Ban the most common forms of birth control, including the pill and IUDs. • Criminalize a pregnant woman with cancer who chooses treatment that could save her life.

• Restrict options for women who are infertile and wanting in vitro fertilization.

• Any birth that isn’t a live birth — as in miscarriages and stillbirths — could be deemed a “suspicious death” and investigated by police.

How can we not vote no on Amendment 67 knowing that all women in the state of Colorado will be living in a culture of sur-

veillance and criminalization specific to their reproductive capacity!

Now, I realize it’s easy to be cynical about politics; but, if we give up on politics, we give up on democracy, and if we give up on democracy, we cede the entire game to the money-eyed interests that don’t give a damn about a women’s right to choose.”

In addition, Colorado’s 2.6 million women would face the harshest restrictions on their reproductive rights than anywhere else in the country if Amendment 67 were to pass! This obsession to control a women’s reproductive capacity must stop here and now!

As stated by retired Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, “the ability of women to participate equally in the economic and social life of the nation has been facilitated by their ability to control their reproductive lives.”

As a feminist, I would add that an amendment such as no.

67 would alter Colorado’s state constitution to criminalize women for exercising their right to choose.

This is an intolerable and unjustifiable invasion of privacy in the conduct of the most intimate concerns of an individual’s private life.

This is a call to action! We can squash Amendment 67 by voting “no” right here on campus in the Tivoli Multicultural lounge (2nd floor) Oct. 20 thru Election Day – Nov. 4. This is the day that we safeguard the reproductive rights of all women! Today is a visible movement of collective action for a collective solution. Let ss remember that almost all revolutionary movements began as Student movements.

Today is the day for Colorado to clean house and disinfect our democracy!

“ArtAbilility” opens with applause and dancing

By Heather Pastorius hpastori@msudenver.edu Music played inside a brightly lit gallery with floor to ceiling windows, and the seven dancers of the Spoke N Motion Dance company started to rhythmically twirl, sashay and clap exuberantly to carefully coordinated choreography.

The “ArtAbility” gallery showing opened Oct. 24 at the Center for Visual Art at 965 Santa Fe Drive.

The event was an extension of the Auraria Disability Awareness Festival and was held in support of Disability Awareness Month this October, according to Madeliene Kattman, co-curator for the Center for Visual Arts and an MSU Denver student.

“We coordinated with the Access Center and Disability Awareness Festival on campus to get submissions for the show. Submissions were open for a week, and it was tri-institutional, not just Metro — and then we installed Oct. 10 through the 17,” Kattman said.

“Sarah Knutson (gallery curator) and I put it together.”

Lead choreographer Robyn Gisbert, “We’re Denver’s first fully integrated dance company,” Lead Choreographer, Robyn Gisbert.

“We work with all abilities. If you have a desire to dance and move and express your emotion through movement, this is your home.”

The showing features 24 artists that have produced works in a variety of media, including painting, sculpture, photography, digital art and tin work. “ArtAbility” is being presented by the Emerging Artists Gallery, according to the Creative Director of the Center for Visual Arts, Cecily Cullen.

“We’re here to celebrate ‘ArtAbility’ and the Emerging Artists Gallery that is dedicated to, and run by Metro students,” Cullen said.

Steven Douglas, Jr., and Raymond Farina were among the artists present.

Douglas has two pieces on display, one of which was a graphite on paper drawing called “Sunflowers Caught in a Blur.” Douglas lost almost all function of his right hand due to a motorcycle accident. “(‘Sunflowers’) was my first drawing with graphite I’ve ever done. With my hand, it took me a long time to get going. In the last five years, with surgery, I’ve regained functionality. Drawing has ended up being a new physical therapy for me and I’ve really developed a love for (art),” Douglas said.

Farina has an acrylic and mixed media piece entitled “Ascension” on display.

“I’m really happy that they did a show like this, just to give me a chance to get my art piece out here and see what other people think about it. I have this belief that every time we make a connection with somebody, there is this invis-

ible thread that kind of binds us. I think that at the end of our lives, that all of those experiences and all of those cords, we gather them up and ascend with them to whereever we’re going next — and that’s what this piece is about,” Farina said.

According to Cullen, “ArtAbility” is only the second show from the Emerging Artist Gallery at the

Center for Visual Arts, but there are two upcoming shows, entitled “Activate” and “Semblage.” “‘ArtAbility’ has been really fun,” Kattman said, “and we’re excited for the upcoming shows which we have yet to decide opening dates for.”

Don Gabenski and the Spoke-N-Motion dance crew perform at the Center For Visual Art’s new show, ArtAbility, Oct. 24, 2014. The show seeks to celebrate and showcase the talent and art of individuals with disabilities.

Low maintenance fall fashion tips for midterms

By Taylor Hensel thensel@msudenver.edu My fellow students: we are halfway through our semester, and if you are anything like me, you are most likely feeling a tad burnt out when it comes to fashion and putting any effort into your appearance.

The excitement of looking fashionable for class has worn off by this point. That is, if it was even there in the first place. As we approach midterms before Thanksgiving break, it is understandable if your priorities may have shifted from looking good to simply eating, sleeping and — dare I say — studying.

Although surviving midterms is essential, your outfit does not have to suffer on account of your intensified academic schedule.

There are simple measures you can take to add a hint of trendiness to any basic outfit so that you look presentable — all while being comfortable.

Gals, don’t worry. You can still wear your precious yoga pants and leggings. But instead of pairing them with a drab T-shirt and sneakers, try wearing combat boots, a

basic cotton long sleeve shirt and an infinity scarf. These simple replacements are just as comfy, and will give you a more polished end result.

Guys, rather than wearing sweats and hoodies on a regular basis, ditch the sweat pants for a pair of jeans and layer a blazer or leather jacket over your hoodie to class up your look.

When it comes to looking good and staying on trend with minimal effort, using certain staple items is vital. Look for the following:

• • • • • • • •

Beanies and hats Button-up flannels Boots Scarves Statement jewelry Leather or denim jackets Black leggings Basic blue jeans

Simply wearing any one of these items does not make an outfit. Rather, careful combinations of these pieces create trendy

ensembles.

Layering is always a great way to stay comfortable and stylish at once. By layering a button-up flannel over a plain white T-shirt, throwing on a beanie, and finishing the look with black leggings or jeans and boots you will look great using simple pieces.

Another instant way to look fashionable is to stick to basic and solid colors. Black is always a safe bet. Whether you are wearing black pants, a shirt or shoes, this color never goes out of style. The danger really comes when one chooses to stack bright colors on top of one another. For example, bright blue leggings and a red sweater might scream, “I got dressed in the dark.” Avoid putting two bold colors together at all costs .

The main points to remember when it comes to looking trendy while surviving midterms are the following:

• Keep it simple with classic pieces.

• Layer wisely and throw in accessories like scarves and hats.

• When in doubt, choose solid colors that go well with everything like, black, white and tan.

Colorado Fear Fest, from home haunt to the big tent

By Angelita Foster amayer1@msudenver.edu Colorado Fear Fest started out as a local neighborhood haunted house, but seems to be a contender, fighting for the right for fright.

Dan Benade, president of New Asylum Studios and creator of Colorado Fear Fest, has taken a sabbatical from his full-time job to pursue his dream of haunting people.

“I am a software engineer by trade, but I haven’t done that for the last 16 months. I have dedicated myself to this (Fear Fest) for the last year and a half,” Benade said. “I have been doing home haunts since 2007, but this is our second year as a professional haunt.”

Benade and his crew have pitched their tents in the parking lot of the Olde Town 14 Landmark Theater – the heart of Olde Town Arvada, which is the perfect spot, according to the fright master.

“Since we live in the area, we wanted to show our support for this community,” Benade said.

“The city and the theater have

is an opportunity to do what he loves.

“I do airbrush body art, and I do a lot of competitions, but I really enjoy coming here to help create this production,” Weiss said.

Benade and his crew have

been very supportive, and I think this is the right place for us.”

Like any small business, Benade said that it takes a lot of support from his family and the dedication off a lot of talented people.

“You have to have a vision, and aside from money, you have to have talented people to help you achieve it,” Benade said.

Colorado Fear Fest employs some of the region’s best. Jim Nikkel plays a rag doll at the festival’s midway, and has been in the industry for three years, although he has been a filmmaker for 25 years.

“I really just enjoy this chance to work on a production like this,” Nikkel said. “It’s not just a bunch of people jumping out of dark corners – there is a storyline and a purpose to each character.”

The team behind the scream also includes makeup artists Bonnie Nihiser, who works for the Jefferson County court system, and Tim Weiss, who has been a deputy sheriff for 15 years. Weiss, a winning artist at the 2013 Pancakes & Booze Art show and Zombie Fashion Show, said this

“I think what makes us different is the storyline behind our production, and how the all of the talent works together in every detail,” Benade said. “It’s the dedication of all involved that will make us successful.”

THE FLAMING LIPS “With a Little Help from My Fwends”

By Tobias Krause tkrause3@msudenver.edu Back in 1967, The Beatles released their eighth studio album “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.”

It was a historic release for the band, and now 47 years later, Oklahoma rockers The Flaming Lips have released their take on the Brit-pop masterpiece calling

“Super Smash Bros.”

By Luis Amaya lamaya@msudenver.edu Throughout the years, “Super Smash Bros.” has been a fan favorite among players. Is it because of the interesting story line? Or is it popular because various main characters from different Nintendo game titles come together to challenge one another in a battle to be

never been so ambitious.

The band’s third full-length album begins with a conversation between simplistic piano, reverberating guitars and dissonant vocals.

The intro track helps to coax listeners into “Label This Love,” a hardhitting composition intricately layered with tambourine and vocal harmonies.

One of the more compelling tracks, “Sleeping Limbs,” crops up halfway through and engages the listener with a driving bass

line and a catchy time signature, seamlessly transitioning between floating background noise and an aggressive presence.

As the album progresses, it begins to take a dark turn with lyrics like “I saw your face in the mirror last night, black stained your clothes, bags under your eyes.” Tension builds through the last few tracks, and leads to up the finale of “Fog,” where the entire band jams really quite hard. The electric guitar solo bleeds into an

acoustic riff accompanied by some final vocal harmonies, leaving you with questions and begging you to listen through it once more.

Though some tracks are reminiscent of earlier releases (“Breathe Desperately” and “Am I Alive” sound like they belong on 2012’s “Able Bodies”), the album is a breath of originality for the indie rock scene.

B+

Canada, Kiesza has an impressive résumé. She is a singer, songwriter, actress and model, and has even served in the Royal Canadian Navy. She opened for Demi Lovato on her most recent tour and has written many songs for Rihanna. Despite being only 25 years old, Kiesza has shown the world that her versatility can develop hit singles.

Her most popular single, “Hideaway,” gets your head bobbing. The use of synth and rhythmic drum beats force you get up and dance. It even has a Salt-N-Pepa feel to it.

The album can be considered

soulful, her house, pop sound incorporating R&B and featuring artists like Mick Jenkins and Joey Bada$$. Kiesza covered Haddaway’s “What is Love?” on piano with a slow melody. She transformed the popular dance hit into a heartfelt ballad, which completely changed the meaning of the song.

The title track serves as a lovesick anthem and has more depth than any of Taylor Swift’s songs about heartache.

Kiesza mainly falls under the genre of dance music, but adds spice to her tunes with her profound vocals. Nowadays,

everyone is entranced by electronic dance music and almost anything produced by popular artists like Swedish House Mafia and Calvin Harris. Kiesza aims to crush the redundancy by reenergizing top hits with funky ‘90s house woven into her tracks.

Kiesza’s new album is perfect for getting ready for a night on the town. It’s full of anthems for declaring independence.

“Sound of a Woman” was released Oct. 21 on Island Records.

it, “With a Little Help From My Fwends.”

One thing The Beatles did so well on “Sgt. Peppers” was their ability to make listeners feel the album was coming alive, like an opera or, a rock-opera.

The Flaming Lips’ tribute album is obscure and out of this world — in pure Flaming Lip fashion.

It’s full of electronic noises, distortion, loud reverb, and blissful and trippy takes on the cult classic, and of course, features a slew of “fwends” who come from all walks of musical life to add their own personal touches on each and every track.

The album opens with a neo-psychedelic take on the “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” title track, which just so happens to feature My Morning Jacket, Fever Ghost and J. Mascis — talk about a dream team for rock fans.

My Morning Jacket front man Jim James’ vocals sound as if heaven had a voice.

The highlight of the album, for me at least, comes in at track six with “She’s Leaving Home.” It features the harmonious vocals from Phantogram’s Sarah Barthel, along with Juliana Barwick, and the intoxicatingly blissful musicianship from The Lips and Spaceface, a relatively new and up-and-coming

self-described “rawk” band.

The most surprising combo came from pop sensation Miley Cyrus’s contributions, which can be found on two separate tracks, “Lucy in The Sky With Diamonds” and “A Day in The Life.” Both renditions are dark but beautiful interpretations of the songs that will forever go down as epic covers.

And don’t worry, there’s no sign of any twerking, anywhere.

Listening to this album is like taking a couple hits of acid. Not that I would know what’s like or anything...

the best?

Either way, the “Super Smash Bros.” series has always been an enjoyable game to play alone or with friends. The newest “Super Smash Bros.” game for Nintendo 3DS has been quite popular since its release, being the first Super Smash Bros. to be available for hand-held gaming.

The first “Super Smash Bros.” was released in 1999 on Nintendo 64. It quickly gained popularity and inspired sequels such as “Super Smash Bros. Melee” released in 2001 for Nintendo GameCube and “Super Smash Bros. Brawl” in 2008

for Nintendo Wii. After six years, the newest “Super Smash Bros.” is available for Nintendo 3DS and 2DS, and will also be released for the Nintendo Wii U this December.

This new release brings back old characters from previous versions, like Dr. Mario from “Mario Bros.” and Mewtwo from the “Pokémon” series.

The game also features characters from other games like “Sonic The Hedgehog,” “Pac-Man” and “Mega Man.” One other feature this game has is a customizable section,

which gives the option to make a custom fighter using your Mii avatar, or customizing pre-designed characters by giving them new abilities and power-ups.

If you’re a fan of the “Smash Bros.” series, enjoy seeing different game characters collide in battle, or just love fighting games — then the latest “Super Smash Bros.” game for Nintendo 3DS is highly recommended.

Revenge has never felt so good for Lady Runners

Conference tournament, which preventing Metro from advancing to the NCAA tournament.

In the Oct. 25 match, Metro honored its five seniors—defensive specialist Savannah Garcia, middle blocker Julia Dorsey, setter Betty Van Lith, middle blocker Kylee Hoagland, and right side hitter Lauren Quijano.

Metro took the court with con-

fidence and determination, fighting to secure a win over its rivals and hold on to the number one spot in the conference. The Lady Runners did just that, securing the first set 25–23. However, things took a turn in the second set and Regis responded by claiming it 25–16.

Regis continued to leave their mark on the match by dominating the third set 25–14. Regis only needed to win one more set to take the match and secure a victory.

And it seemed they would do just that.

Metro claimed the first three set points before Regis would score their first. Metro continued to relentlessly respond to Regis’ efforts and put points on the board to hold the lead.

The Runners started to increase their advantage over the Rangers, at first only by a three-point gap, then pulling ahead by as many as six points. The atmosphere in the gym became electric as everyone realized the Rangers would not be able to come back from the deficit, and the game would go into a fifth and final set. Metro took the set with a five-point advantage, 25–20.

“It was really cool that we pulled together and we were able to pull ourselves out of that hole. I think it brought us together more as a team,” Dorsey said.

Regis was the first to put a point on the board, but Metro responded with three more, taking the lead 3–1. Metro would continue to hold the lead throughout the set, only allowing the score to even out at 11–11 and 12–12 but ultimately pulled ahead again first by one point, then two.

The score was 14–12 and the Lady Runners only needed one more point to secure a victory over the Lady Rangers. The tension

The Runners came into the second half determined to record a victory, and they relentlessly pursued that goal. However, it wasn’t until the 62nd minute that sophomore forward Jeff Gillis scored Metro’s second goal off a pass from senior midfielder/forward Makir Oropeza.

The Thunderwolves answered less than 15 minutes later and scored their first point of the game off of a turnover at the top of the goal box. It wasn’t long before the Roadrunners would rebut.

Only 72 seconds later, the Run-

ners had a breakaway and Gillis served a fastball to junior forward Danny Arrbula, who successfully put Metro’s third match point on the board.

“The last time we played them we went one nothing in defeat,” head coach Ken Parsons said. “I thought we had a better approach to the game today where we scored, and then as we scored, they had to come out of their shape. Then we capitalized on the opportunities going forward when they came out of their shape.”

Metro would continue to over-

By Mackenzie Masson mmasson@msudenver.edu Metro women’s volleyball honored their seniors on senior night in what would be one of the most intense matches of the season.

Metro faced conference rival Regis University, who the beat the Lady Runners the last two years in the Rocky Mountain Athletic

could be felt hanging in the air.

The ball was in play and the Lady Rangers would serve the Runners their victory off of an attack error

by Regis, rewarding Metro an automatic point, the only one they would need to win the game.

The girls broke into celebration and the rest of the team ran onto the court celebrating their hard earned victory. The Lady Runners were led by junior outside hitter Kylie Haun who went 13–0–1 in kills-aces-blocks and junior outside hitter Abbie Noland, who was 12–0– 3 for the match. Sophomore setter Brandi Torr led the match in assists with 41 and Garcia led in digs with 17, followed by Torr with 14.

“It’s always a battle with Regis,” Garcia said. “It was a really good feeling knowing that we got them for a second time this year.”

The feeling was mutual for head coach Debbie Hendricks.

“Regis is a good team regardless of whether we actually had some revenge, if you will, on a team that has swept us the last two years and taken away our ability to advance in regionals,” Hendricks said.

While the win was a rewarding one in terms of having revenge for the second time this year over their rivals, the night was also a special one for the seniors as they realized that their time here at Metro has nearly run out.

“It’s been a really great experience this year being a senior and having the other four seniors that I’m with,” Garcia said. “I’m trying to cherish every single moment because it goes by so fast. It wasn’t long ago that I was just walking through these gym doors as a freshman.”

Hendricks acknowledges the

impact the five seniors have had on the team and knows that the legacy they’re going to leave behind has set the bar high for those who follow in their footsteps.

“Those are going to be big, big shoes to fill, especially because there’s five of them,” Hendricks said. “They all bring very special things to our team right now, leadership, chemistry, talent, the whole thing.”

Hendricks also acknowledges that despite the fact the end of the season is approaching, they still have five to six weeks of season ahead of them and they need to focus on being great and enjoying the time they have left together as a team.

“Right here at the end we’re still fighting for our conference championship. That’s in our hands, we control that,” Hendricks said.

The Lady Runners have difficult matches ahead of them as they take on Black Hills State and Chadron State. While the victory against Regis was an exciting one, they need to remain focused to hold their spot as No. 1 in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference.

“We cannot be complacent; that’s the worst enemy with us,” Garcia said. “These teams that we’re playing against are good and they’re going to throw whatever they have our way because we are seed number one in conference right now. We just need to go and play Metro volleyball.”

The Lady Runners, now 13–1 for RMAC competition, will travel to Spearfish, South Dakota Oct. 31 to challenge Black Hills State and Chadron, Nebraska Nov. 1 to take on Chadron State.

Soccer seniors honored, 1-1 for weekend

By Mackenzie Masson mmasson@msudenver.edu

Metro men’s soccer started out their weekend of home matches strong, dominating Colorado State University Pueblo.

It was a slow start to the afternoon game as possession of the ball was traded between the two teams throughout the first half. However, with 10 minutes left in the first half, the Runners finally managed to secure the first goal of the game.

power the Thunderwolves and had an open season on CSU Pueblo’s goalkeeper.

In the 82nd minute of the game, Metro would score yet again after sophomore midfielder Dustin Berg had a breakaway from midfield and passed to sophomore forward Josh Belfrage, who would net the ball.

However, the Roadrunners weren’t done with their opponents just yet. Only a minute later Metro would gain possession of the ball and Belfrage would cross the ball from the left side of the field to Ar-

rubla who would score Metro’s final game point off a one-touch shot, his eighth goal of the season.

“Keeping my eyes on the NCAA, that’s what keeps me going,” Arrubla said.

The Roadrunners concluded the match with a final score of 5–1 and were led by Arrubla with two goals and four shots on goal, Belfrage with one goal and four shots on goal, and

“We shouldn’t have lost those two games (last weekend),” Gillis said. “The thing about this team is that we do come together. We’re a good team and everyone’s got each

other’s back.”

The Runners continued through their weekend of home matches and honored their seniors, who were accompanied by their parents, in the Oct. 26 afternoon game against Fort Lewis.

Metro took the field with confidence and put the first point on the

board within the first 25 minutes of the match with a goal from Gillis, who headed the ball in the net to record his second goal of the weekend.

Fort Lewis answered Metro’s efforts in the 37th minute of the game after Skyhawks’ junior midfielder Yannis Becker scored off of an assist from senior forward Maik Brandt.

As the match progressed, the score remained tied. Throughout the second half both teams were able to commit shots on goal but none would successfully net. Metro nearly had a chance to take the lead in the last minute of the first period when sophomore midfielder Roe Shrestha had a clean shot on goal, but was barely wide of the goal.

The game was sent into overtime after a controversial foul against Belfrage in the last minute of regulation and resulted in a corner kick for CSU Pueblo, which was unsuccessful in scoring off of it.

Metro seemed determined to secure the victory in OT, however, Fort Lewis stormed the field and only a minute and 38 seconds into overtime scored the game-ending point. “(You have to) play hard every minute,” Gillis said. “You never know what’s going to happen and unfortunately we didn’t get the win today but there’s always another game.”

Despite the tough loss after coming off a big win against CSU Pueblo, the season continues to move forward and the team has no choice but to put the loss behind them and continue to prepare for their final two matches before the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference tournament begins Nov. 5.

“It was a big game, we needed to get the win and unfortunately that didn’t happen but we’ll go into next week strong and hopefully get two

15

wins out of that,” Gillis said.

Gillis led Metro with one goal followed by Berg with one shot on goal, and junior midfielder/forward Pierce Galan with two shots on goal.

Belfrage, Shrestha and sophomore defender Tyler Trujillo had one shot on goal each. Sophomore goalkeeper James Tanner had eight saves total for the match. “(We can’t) stop playing,” Tanner said. “Towards the end on that play a lot of players were upset about a foul so they stopped running and we needed to keep bringing 110 percent all the time, every minute of the game.”

Parsons also acknowledged that despite a well-played game, neither team played to their full potential.

Both passed up opportunities to put more points on the board.

“Both teams left goals on the field today so that was disappointing,” Parsons said. “We had just as much of an opportunity to win this game as they did. It’s a good side in Fort Lewis, and they’re certainly a much better team than their record reflects, but unfortunately we didn’t get a result today.”

The Roadrunners continue RMAC competition Oct. 29 against Regis University at 3:30 p.m. and a home game at the Regency Athletic Complex Oct. 31 at 7 p.m. against Colorado Mesa. These will be the final two regular season games before the RMAC tournament, which begins Nov. 5.

Your legs are looking rather pleasant today. Too bad it’s your cheat day and you’re planning to fi ll up on carbs after lunch.

Your uncontrollable night terrors will fi nally come to an end after you watch the entire fi rst season of “Mad about You” and realize there is no point to life anymore.

Taurus

Libra

September 23 -October 22 Rough week to be a Libra. That is all.

Scorpio

April 20 -May 20

October 23 -November 21

Saturday is looking like a big day for you.

Your long lost love will suddenly appear outside of the Burger King parking lot that you frequent before and after ICP concerts.

Again, if you’re in need of a costume idea, Kurt Cobain dressed as Barney for Halloween and chugged a bottle of Jack Daniels all night. So there’s that...

THE PERILS & PITFALLS OF ONLINE DATING

VETERANS WORKSHOP

DREAM INTERPRETATION

Have you thought about online dating or had a bad experience? Meeting someone in cyberspace is significantly different from meeting someone in person. Join us in learning to safely navigate this realm.

Veterans can face unique stressors that contribute to difficulties balancing work, school, and relationships (e.g., family, friends, etc.). This drop-in discussion group is for veterans who are transitioning to student life.

Ever wondered what your dreams say about your conscious waking life?

Share dreams as we try to interpret and make sense of sleep physiology, sleep talking, and common images and themes.
