ELECTION WRAP-UP While the race for governor of Colorado was too close to call at press time Nov. 6, by Nov. 7 it was clear that Gov. John Hickenlooper would keep his top state spot. The same could not be said for Mark Udall, who was defeated in his bid for re-
election as U.S. Senator by Republican Cory Gardner. According to the Colorado state department, there were 2,039,704 ballots cast out of 3,641,027 registered voters, for a voter turnout of 56.02 percent. The on-campus voter service center at the Tivoli saw 939 in-person voters over the course of the 2014 elections and handled 1,749 mail-in ballots, according to the Denver County Clerk and Recorder’s elections division.

“The military has helped me grow up as a person and makes me more disciplined.” — Forrest Smith

Auraria honors veterans
Beth Martinez bmart103@msudenver.edu In 1918, at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, the guns of the Great War fell silent. Ninety-six years later, Auraria campus students and staff gathered in the Tivoli Turnhalle to honor military veterans. In November 1919, President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed Nov. 11 as Armistice Day. “To us in America,” Wilson wrote, “the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service and with gratitude for the victory.” In 1954, the name of the observance

was changed to Veterans Day. “Veterans Day is a celebration of all those who served in the military,” said Forrest Smith, an MSU Denver junior studying military science. Smith said he’s grateful for the personal growth he’s experienced since joining the Army Reserve Officer Training Corps. “The military has helped me grow up as a person and makes me more disciplined,” Smith said. “I see the big picture and I am not just looking out for myself.” The MSU Denver ROTC Color Guard opened the ceremony with a flag raising, along with the Scottish American Military Society
and Sister Nations Color Guard. Michael Hangst, assistant professor of trumpet and athletic bands at MSU Denver, played the national anthem. Tabitha Bennett, an MSU Denver student participating in Veterans Upward Bound, read the poem “I Am Old Glory.” Veterans Upward Bound is designed to help veterans transition to university education. Next, professors from each of the three Auraria schools spoke about their views on veterans’ duty, selfless service and integrity. A moment of silence followed, in honor of veterans who died in service to
the nation. “Never forget the commitment and sacrifice veterans have made to our nation,” said Noel Olson, president of the MSU Denver Student Veterans, in his closing remarks. On Nov. 10, MSU Denver was recognized in the 2015 Military Times “Best for Vets” ranking of colleges and universities. This year, MSU Denver placed 32nd in that ranking, up from 50th last year. Now in its fifth year, the ranking is a comprehensive school-by-school assessment of veteran and military students’ success rates. Glenn Payne, a former activeduty Marine corporal studying
journalism at MSU Denver, said the Student Veterans helped him a lot with the transition from military service to education. “The club helps me understand my VA benefits, it connects me with other student veterans and offers assistance with school,” Payne said. Colorado Air National Guard Airman 1st Class Starla Villa, an MSU Denver freshman studying aerospace technology, also attended the ceremony. “I am proud to be a veteran,” Villa said. “I am part of the bigger picture. It feels good to know I have helped in some way.”

Old brewery at Tivoli, new brewing major By Kate Rigot krigot@msudenver.edu Tivoli Brewing Company CEO Corey Marshall spoke on campus Nov. 11 to share with the Auraria community details of the company’s recently announced plans to open up a craft brewery and taphouse in the historic Tivoli building. Faculty members of MSU Denver’s hospitality, tourism, and events department were also on hand to discuss details of the department’s brand-new brewing science program. Dating back to 1861, the Tivoli Brewing Company was the first brewing company to operate in Colorado, but went out of business in 1969. Marshall finalized acquisition of the rights and trademarks for the company in 2012. The new company has been brewing one of the original company’s iconic beers, along with a Sigi’s brand beer, under contract with Denver’s Prost Brewing since 2011, but Marshall plans to have Tivoli Brewing Company take over the brewing operations once
the move into the Tivoli building is complete in spring 2015. Both beers are being brewed according to Marshall’s reconstructions of the original recipes. “It’s great to have the beer back,” Marshall said of Tivoli Beer, his grandfather’s favorite beer. Marshall joked that his grandfather died just four months after the beer went out of production as the original Tivoli Brewing Company shut down. But his family roots did play a large role in his decision to revive the historic company, which had been especially significant to the local German-American community. In addition to what Marshall described as the company’s focus on “recreating and bringing back the historic beers of Colorado,” an important pillar of the new business will be one centered around students and on “establishing an education program in the brewing industry.” Marshall and Michael Wray, a professor of restaurant management in the HTE department, outlined the department’s new major in brewing industry operations currently administered as
an “incubator” major within the individualized degree program. The major has two concentration options — brewing operations and brew pub operations — and was designed to cover a wide range of topics relating to the beer industry, from microbiology and fermentation science to marketing and legal issues. Incubators for a minor in brewing science available to students majoring in biology or chemistry and for a certificate program have also been approved. Wray said that the program was designed with the job skills needed for today’s beer industry in mind. Department members went straight to the industry for guidance. “(Industry representatives) told us what needed to go in the program, and from that foundation we began creating courses,”

Lightning-fast electronic transcript service, $10 fee coming By Melanie J. Rice mrice20@msudenver.edu MSU Denver will soon have a new, faster electronic transcript delivery system — but it will come with a $10 fee per transcript, once it’s fully functional. MSU Denver Associate Registrar Stephanie Protsman said the registrar’s office, with the help of the information technology department, is in the process of integrating a third party system, provided by Credentials Solutions, with the school’s existing system. “The timeline is still in flux,” Protsman said. “We won’t be charging until that system is implemented.” MSU Denver Registrar Paula Martinez said they are facing some challenges with the implementation. “We are hoping (to implement it) before spring (2015) term,” she said, “because we no longer get the (matriculation) fee and the funding is essential.” Students will have a choice of three delivery formats for electronic transcripts: PDF, EDI or XML, Protsman said. Students and alumni will still be able to request paper transcripts, but the fee will be the same across the board
“Annually we’re at about 46,000 (transcripts requested). We have some students that request 20 transcripts at a time, and I don’t foresee that happening anymore.” — Stephanie Protsman for both paper and electronic transcripts —$10, with no quantity discount. Unofficial transcripts will remain free. The new electronic delivery system comes partly in response to many student requests and changing technology, Protsman said. “Nationwide it’s something that most big schools are going to,” Protsman said. “In this day and age, with all the technology at our fingertips it seems crazy to a lot of people that we haven’t been able to do it up until now, so we’re finally jumping on board.” “Most schools across the country accept electronic transcripts,” she said. “We’ve been accepting them for quite a while.” She added that most schools in Colorado do charge for transcripts. Indeed, both UCD and Colorado State University charge for electronic transcripts. UCD offers students free paper transcripts for pickup, but there is a seven to 10
business day processing timeframe. MSU Denver will still offer same day paper transcripts for pickup. Quicker turnaround time was another factor in the change. “Our new process will be automated to such a degree that requesters will receive transcripts in minutes,” Martinez said, “even over holidays when the university is closed.” Protsman said they are still working out details of the payment process. When the system is in place, students and alumni will be able to pay online or in person. The new system is also expected to decrease the overall number of transcripts ordered annually. “Annually we’re at about 46,000 (transcripts requested),” Protsman said. “We have some students that request 20 transcripts at a time, and I don’t foresee that happening anymore.” But students may not be happy to see another fee.
2013 alumnus Aaron Jackson, now a graduate student at UCD, was concerned about costs. “You may need five of them, and that’s 50 bucks,” Jackson said “Since other schools (are) doing (it) I know they’re trying to follow them, but at the same time — just be different. Be unique.” But Protsman said it’s important to remember that transcripts were never free — they were covered by the matriculation fee that was paid by students at the start of their attendance at MSU Denver. “So they were never actually free,” she said. Students will continue to be assessed a matriculation fee, but it will be allocated differently. Previously, the matriculation fee funded unlimited transcripts for students and alumni, the commencement ceremony and supported new student orientation, Martinez said. However, Martinez said over the last few years the fee has been
insufficient to cover the costs associated with the three areas. The student affairs, administration and finance departments sought a solution, and opted to implement a transcript fee that would be activated only when used, rather than to raise matriculation fees. Now, Martinez said the distribution of the matriculation fee will fund the commencement ceremony and to support new student orientation’s SOAR Experience Program. SOAR is a brand of student orientations done across the country that combines orientation with advising and registration, said Amy Dinise-Halter, assistant director of orientation at MSU Denver. “While the matriculation fee will help SOAR and help grow our transfer program, it also does contribute to fees that we have to run all of our orientation programs,” Dinise-Halter said. There isn’t a set date for the new transcript system to be fully functional, but Protsman said it would be within the 2014-15 academic year. “We will be communicating this out to students and putting it on our website when we know of a more definite timeline,” Martinez said.

@themetonline f: themetropolitan mymetmedia. com Continued from Page 4 Wray said, adding that a student completing the program would be a “killer graduate, with the industry competing for you.” Marshall and Wray enthusiastically discussed the vision for collaboration between the new brewery and the HTE department, and the myriad educational opportunities projected for its students. New classes being designed will take advantage of the ability to interact with an operating brewery, and majors will be required to complete 700 hours of work in the brewing field. Marshall said the brewery
would facilitate students to “(work) through the whole process of the research and development, leading in to a new recipe and developing that recipe and producing it here in our pilot brewery right on site … the best one out of each class we’ll [hope to] actually put out in the marketplace, and support it and try and launch that as a new brand under Tivoli Brewing Company.” Wray anticipates that the program’s unique, innovative design and its ability to make graduates top-notch candidates for the beer industry will be huge draws. “We think there’s a lot of 30-, 40-somethings that really want
to do a career change and … love homebrewing, and they’re going to be coming back to school,” Wray said. Marshall also connected with CCD and UCD about capacities in which their students could get involved with the company. Marshall further intends to reach out to sustainability-focused educational programs on campus, such as MSU Denver’s One World One Water Center for Urban Water Education and Stewardship and UCD’s sustainability minor, and integrate these students and their ideas into the company’s vision for producing beer more sustainably. He hopes “to utilize sustainable education that’s
already going on, to come up with new ideas for how to make (the brewing process) better.” He has, however, made some plans of his own to integrate sustainable technologies and practices into the brewery’s operations. These include donating spent grains to farmers to use as animal feed and using a stack condenser to capture and recycle some of the heat and water from steam given off during the brewing and bottling processes. Wray and Marshall stressed the importance to Colorado of the brewery and its collaboration with the brewing science program, and the potential to further the
55
state’s reputation as the “Napa Valley of beer.” Wray said that Marshall’s and the department’s “broader vision is to put out high quality graduates that know the ‘A to Z,’ so that all of craft brewing in Colorado becomes better, the industry becomes stronger, and that wherever you go in the U.S. and beyond, if you see a Colorado label on a beer, it instantly says quality — ‘oh, this’ll be good, this is from Colorado.’” Students interested in the brewing industry operations major or brewing science minor or certificate can contact MSU Denver’s Center for Individualized Learning.

Mario Sanelli Commentary Thirteen days ago, many men (and maybe some women) stopped cutting their hair for a growing annual tradition called no-shave November. No-shave November is pretty self-explanatory, but the concept behind the craze is that guys don’t shave their faces for the entire month. Although, some cheat and trim the “neck beard.” So, how did this trend come about? Why has no-shave November, also referred to as “Movember,” gotten all the attention while mustache March and Fu-Man June grow in the darkness?
The explanation is simple: noshave November has a history. It’s said that the first beards known to man appeared in cave paintings along the Fertile Crescent in what is now the modern day Middle East. Gillette was not the best a man could get during those primitive times. Heck, who knows what was around in those days for bodily grooming — certainly not the Mach3 Turbo. As the world turned from medieval times to the Renaissance, the beard took on new meaning. The beard was believed to ward off foreign invaders, cast away unwanted spirits and protect against the plague — the black plague. Queen Elizabeth I of England forced men to shave during the other 11 months, however, because women would only give their hand in marriage if the man’s face was as smooth as a baby’s bottom. Beard growing then carried over to the United States of America. Although the Founding Fathers were clean-shaven, the beard made its American mark with President
Abraham Lincoln. Just as George Washington could not tell a lie, “Honest Abe” could not bring himself to shave his face. Lincoln worked on legislation recognizing no-shave November as an official month-long holiday — to no avail. As compensation, he delivered his famous Gettysburg Address in November 1863. What history doesn’t teach is that the North was so inspired, they took it upon themselves to grow thicker and stronger beards than their Confederate counterparts, in turn giving themselves more confidence. Over the last half-century, men have used November as a rally cry to grow beards that rival those of Leif Erikson, carnival workers and the benchmark of good beards — the Amish community. In the 1970s, men broke free of the clean-shaven ‘60s and students rebelled against Nixon’s clean shaved policies by growing facial hair. Nixon said he wasn’t a crook, and the students proved they were no longer baby faces by putting
hair on them. As we creep up on 15 years into the 21st century, make the next 17 days count toward fi lling out that mane of manliness.

Mary-Kate Newton Commentary “Hecho de menos el otoño en Colorado.” What I missed most was autumn in Colorado. When I was studying abroad in Salamanca, Spain, last year, people’s favorite question for me was what I missed most about home. Starting around October, this became my answer. Fall in Salamanca was beautiful, but not the same. On many drizzly autumn days, to meet friends for a café con leche at La Plaza Mayor, I walked through
narrow streets lined with sandstone cathedrals, boots splashing on the damp cobblestone. I cherished those moments too, but I missed the Rocky Mountains, the changing aspen trees, dressing up with my friends on Halloween and spending Thanksgiving with family. I made a list of to-dos for my first autumn back home. Corn mazes, hiking, scented candles, my baby sister’s sweet 16, Halloween celebrations, chic ankle boots and tights: after being deprived of her company for a year, autumn and I had re-acquainting to do. Unfortunately the extent of our bonding time was looking at the yellow and orange tree-lined University Blvd. as I commuted an hour to work. It has been a “Cats and the Cradle” balance. I want to experience what missed, but am busy being a full time student, part-time Sales Manager at LOFT and a volunteer editor at The Met. I groaned when my mom tried
to help me with my list. On my only day off in months, she made me promise to hike with the family at Golden Gate State Park. I turned something I had missed so much into an obligation that pulled me away from homework I needed to complete. That was almost the only item on my list I have completed. Halloween is a holiday that rivals Christmas for me, but I cancelled plans with friends to finish an internship application. I spent possibly my favorite holiday at work, then on my lap-top, my hair in finger-waves and pin-curls, my flapper dress and headband on a hanger in my closet. I do well with being busy. But lately there have been frustrated tears — nights where I leave the news-room at 11:30 p.m., wake up at 6:30 a.m. for an eight-hour shift, pull an all-nighter for a term paper and then still ask for an extension on an assignment for a different class the next morning. Commiserating with fellow
classmates actually helps. It’s a relief that I’m not the only overwhelmed student with multiple life obligations, and my professors have been excellent at understanding my situation and doing what they can to help me learn. Maybe it’s a “the grass is always greener” scenario. But I miss fall in Salamanca. I miss it for very different reasons. I miss having time to spare, siestas, my host mom telling me I am “Más guapa con una bufanda,” (more beautiful when I wear a warm scarf) and laughing with friends over a glass of tempranillo or hot espresso and milk. Neither fall, neither culture nor place is better. They’re simply different. For this upcoming holiday season, I’m not going to make a list of things I missed last year. I’m going to do my best to be in the moment and enjoy where I am.

Cabal Industries draws attention on South Broadway By Aaron Atencio aatenc11@msudenver.edu Zombie portraits, roaring gorillas on canvas and an on-the-spot painting in progress of a devil cat greeted guests as they walked in. Welcome to Cabal Enterprises. Patrick McGirr, or “Girr,” is one of nine Denver-based artists behind Cabal Enterprises. He has been a professional artist for seven years and his work can be seen showcased by major companies such as Sailor Jerry, Rolling Rock, Anheuser-Busch and Rocky Mountain Barrel Company. In his professional life, Girr is much more than a local artist — he’s also an advocate for change. His free time is allocated toward at-risk teens. Girr takes young men and women to land he owns in Wyoming and teaches them to fly-fish. “You have these kids that carry around guns, but when they land their fish, they’re scared to touch it. It’s a great time,” he said.
Girr, like many artists, had grown tired of his work being displayed in galleries, only to have 50 percent of his earnings taken from him. He and other local artists decided to start something new and different from the typical Santa Fe Art District scene. The product of this collaboration, Cabal, allows the artists to show their work while only taking a smaller 20 percent of their earnings. He’s also aiming to compete with the Santa Fe art district and attract a new demographic in hopes of starting a new scene for artists in Denver. “We’re just playing it by ear,” Girr said. Cabal Enterprises is less established than opponents in the Santa Fe art district. They are gaining new attention and creating healthy competition that could draw other galleries to
venture out into new areas as well. With support from artists like Girr, who believes that change should transcend all spectrums of life, not just art, Cabal may continue gaining interest and establish a scene for themselves.

LES SINS “Michael” By Tobias M. Krause tkrause3@msudenver.edu Les Sins is just one of the many side projects of Chaz Budnick, better known as Toro Y Moi, which should be enough to lure your ears in to giving his newest — and first full-length — album, “Michael,” a listen. Budnick is a multi-talented singer, songwriter, producer and musician. The Columbia, South Carolina native has compiled 11
DIRTY BEACHES “Stateless” By Heather Pastorius hpastori@msudenver.edu Monotonous, difficult to identify static defines the new album from Dirty Beaches. “Stateless,” released November 4, is an album that features four tracks entitled, “Displaced,” “Stateless,” “Pacific Ocean” and “Time Washes Away Everything.” They’re
“Big Hero 6” By Chris Escobar cescoba@msudenver.edu Disney’s “Big Hero 6” tells the genuinely funny story of an ethnic, diverse group of nerd heroes traversing through the visually pleasing world of San Fransokyo (a hybrid of San Francisco and Tokyo) to defeat a cliche, revenge driven villain. “Big Hero 6” could even make those with no sense of humor laugh. Each character has a specific brand of humor, providing different reasons to laugh uncontrol-
“Beautiful Ruins” By Mary-Kate Newton mnewton5@msudenver.edu A delightful escape from prematurely icy temperatures this fall, Jess Walters’ novel “Beautiful Ruins” opens with sandy beaches and colorful, tightly nestled villas along the rocky northern Italian coastline. In 1962, near Cinque Terre, Italy is the small, fictional fishing town Porto Vergogna — Port Shame in Italian. Pasqual is the young proprietor and inheritor

tracks full of intelligent, down tempo, danceable music that will easily get your feet movin’. The album flows from track to track like one big ambient score, or a three-act film as Budnick is able to channel his late ‘70s jazz-fusion, inner Herbie Hancock that meets modern day Daft Punk. Clocking out at just over 40 minutes, “Les Sins” is a beautiful look into the mind of one of music’s most talented and promising musicians. “Talk About,” the album’s first track acts as a gateway to the overall tone, pace and sentiment that you’ll revisit throughout instrumental and all a bit lengthy if you ask me. If nothing else, the sounds of all four tracks are cohesive. All contain very similar sounds, most of which from stringed instruments. Without careful listening, the sounds of the music in this album are like those of a locomotive. The sound is like harsh, deep, resounding warbling of a train on approach, only less urgent and alarming, more sad and accompanied by a feeling of regret.
lingly. Good-hearted and silly, but with a fair amount of wit, everyone can find something to laugh at in this movie. The characters charm audiences, and convey real emotion. Hiro (Ryan Potter) copes with the loss of his brother, which is somewhat mature for Disney. “Big Hero 6” never got to cute or sappy about it though, as Hiro’s grief felt true. Baymax (Scott Adsit) easily stole the show. Baymax alone made me laugh harder than any other movie has this year. He (or technically “it” since he is a robot) also offered an interesting look at technology’s role in the modern
of the town’s only inn, “Hotel Adequate View.” He is desperate to achieve his late father’s dream of making Porto Vergogna a destination as trendy as neighboring ports. An impromptu visit from Dee Moray, a Hollywood starlet and Elizabeth Taylor movie co-star, turns Pasqual’s world around. The unlikely guest could potentially save Porto Vergogna’s reputation, and Pasqual is embarrassed to acknowledge a budding love interest between himself and the actress. The saga spans decades in
“Michael.” Track four, “Why” (feat. Nate Salman) is the album’s highlight and plays the confrontation and conflict role of the record. Salman has a Justin Timberlake-esque voice that reverberates over the subtle chillwave funk that Budnick lays down. The resulting electronic brilliance is as picturesque as a painter’s masterpiece. The ninth track, “Call” gets a little repetitive, but still possesses a solid beat. The synth-heavy “Sticky” sounds like Budnick is jumping on a trampoline, fluttering about, all the while never missing a beat or The title of the album and its tracks are appropriate as they create a sense of timelessness — meaning the music doesn’t seem to lead anywhere. Without paying attention, you might think either the track was skipping or that the same one is being replayed over and over again. “Displaced,” creates a sense of feeling out of place throughand-through. The other three tracks seem to repeat the same chords and patterns over and over, like waves crashing on a beach.
world. An unrealistic racial balance of one hero per ethnic background actually enhances the world “Big Hero 6” creates. After all, the name of the city is San Fransokyo, where the Golden Gate Bridge features Asian-inspired architecture. The creation of this world was definitely aided immensely by the graphics. Animations are top-ofclass. Backgrounds, sharp and picturesque, made the 3-D version worthwhile. My biggest gripe with this movie, without a doubt, is the plot, which had major holes. Also, the villain could easily be copy and
flashes, as Walters introduces other characters and stories, such as a 40-something has-been musician, a World War II veteran and a 72-year-old “bigwig” movie producer with a surgically fabricated “face of a 9-year-old Filipino girl.” The book switches characters, time periods and countries, which could have turned out clumsy and distracting. But Walters equally balances the reader’s attention with doing each story justice. He does so as successfully as Khaled Hosseini with “And The Mountains Echoed” or Jen-
chord change. “Michael” gets its third and final act in “Do Right,” the record’s eleventh track. The whole album sounds like Budnick is having a good time playing with various instruments and machines while making music. It’s a mellow listen and is perfect background music. Play “Les Sins” on repeat and sit back and listen while getting lost in the brilliance that is Chaz Budnick.

The music’s texture is like that of a buttery croissant, with layers upon layers of different stringed instruments and woodwinds, each playing through distinct harmonies and melody. Overall, the album is average. It is appealing to those whose taste in music requires rapt attention to catch buried intricacies of the score. Easy listeners may want to steer clear.

C pasted from another movie without much change. The evildoer, drab and simplistic, offered nothing profound to “Big Hero 6.” Despite the lame villain and the occasional plot hole, “Big Hero 6” proves well-worth the price of admission, even with an upcharge for 3-D. The movie demands attention with impressive graphics. The characters can connect with many audiences. Plus, this might be the funniest movie all year. Be a kid again, and go see this movie.

nifer Egan with “A Visit From the Goon Squad.” Walters’ novel is reflective of the human struggle to be more than adequate. It questions how much control of our own fates we have, and if following our dreams — in the scheme of life — is our best path. “Beautiful Ruins” is as lovely and enigmatic as its name suggests, both in its stories themselves and the natural symmetry in how they intertwine.

Roadrunners look fresh in rout of Wildcats By Scott Corbridge kcorbrid@msudenver.edu The sixth man came to play as freshman guard Hannah Stipanovich helped the Lady Runners to an 85-59 win over the Baker University Wildcats Nov. 7 at the Auraria Event Center. In Metro’s first matchup in the Holiday Inn Denver Cherry Creek Classic, the Roadrunners got off to a slow start but found their footing to take the lead midway through the first half. Key contributors for the Runners were the freshman duo of Stipanovich and center Georgia Ohrdorf, who combined for 41 points, 16 rebounds, two assists and three blocks. “I’m really proud of the team. We put up a good effort,” Stipanovich said. “I thought we were well prepared and the great thing about our team is that we’re deep. We have so many players coming off the bench. That makes us strong and unstoppable.” Baker opened up the game with a 7-1 lead due to missed free throws and open shots. Metro eventually moved the ball across the floor to set up an opportunity and went on a 12-2 run and never looked back. Senior forward Deni Jacobs worked the boards to get secondchance points and her contributions were a big reason why the Roadrunners went into halftime with a nine point lead. Jacobs finished the night with 12 points, six rebounds and three assists.
“I love being a sixth man off the bench,” Stipanovich said. “I can watch Deni out there, she really knows what she’s doing. She’s a great teacher.” The Wildcats couldn’t capitalize on any opportunity that opened up as they were constantly putting Metro in the bonus and were failing to hit any of their shots. Rebounding was key for the game and the Runners won the battle on the boards 56-52 while also winning the turnover battle, forcing 11 Baker turnovers and committing only eight themselves. “Just a fantastic all-around effort,” head coach Tanya Haave said. “I think playing (Colorado State University) last week really prepared us. We emphasize turnovers everyday at practice. We were able to slow down from a mental and physical effort and played together very well.” Not only was Metro’s bench contributions a huge factor, but its defense was constantly creating havoc for the Wildcats. Baker shot 18 percent on the night while hitting 25 percent from beyond the arc. The Roadrunners shot 36 percent from the field, while picking their three point shots very carefully, shooting 44 percent and going 4-for-9 from three point range. “Our freshman — we’ve got some really eager, enthusiastic, talented freshman,” Haave said. “They’re very coachable and all they’re going to do is get better. Stipanovich is just scratching the

surface of what she can do.” The Runners played a complete game throughout and kept Baker off balance. Metro utilized the paint and went to the post for 26 points inside. The Roadrunners were back in action Nov. 8 at home against the
Southern Oregon Raiders, but fell in a close matchup 88-82. Jacobs tallied 28 points but the Roadrunners couldn’t close out the game for the win. Freshman forward Emily Hartegan and sophomore guard Jenae Paine were also key contributors for Metro —
14 points and seven rebounds for Hartegan and 12 points and three rebounds for Paine. The Roadrunners will be hitting the court again at Southwest Minnesota State University Nov. 15 and then against Minnesota State on the road Nov. 16.

Metro added positive attitudes and strength to their men’s sports teams, giving warmth to a cold November day. Nathanael Kurtz, 7, signed with the baseball team and nine-yearold Chase Leikam inked a contract with the basketball team on the main floor of the Student Success Building Nov. 11. Both Kurtz and Leikam were paired with the Roadrunners through team IMPACT, “an organization that aims to improve the quality of life for children facing life-threatening and chronic ill-
nesses through the power of team.” Kurtz is recovering from Wilm’s tumor, a type of kidney cancer. Chase is in recovery from Stage III Lymphoma. “Nathanael is a great addition. It will put baseball into perspective,” junior outfielder Alex Walker said. “Hopefully we can impact his life, but I’m pretty sure he’s going to impact our life more.” Chase’s older brother, 11-yearold Reece, also signed with the basketball team. “He’s there with me all the time so he’ll be at my side anytime I need him,” Chase said of his older brother. Chase also shed light into the
harsh reality he faced after his diagnosis. “I was pretty scared that I was going to die or live in pain for the rest of my life but it didn’t happen,” he said. In addition to the children joining their respective athletic teams, the student athletes will also join their child’s support team. “The big picture is that we get to help (Kurtz), but he’s also going to help us through this whole process,” baseball head coach Jerrid Oates said. “My guys have a lot to learn from him through the perseverance. It’s exciting and we’re fired up for it.”

Regis Rangers oust men’s soccer from conference tournament with two-goal win Metro was eliminated from Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Tournament in the first round after falling to the Regis Rangers, 3–1. Metro traveled to Regis to compete on the Rangers’ home turf on Nov. 5. The game kicked off at 2:30 p.m. and it would be Regis who would tally the first game point within the first 15 minutes of the match. Regis would maintain their momentum and score their second goal in the 32nd minute of the game however Metro would answer less than a minute later and put their first match point on the board, tailing Regis 2–1.
The Rangers would be the first to score in the second half but not until the 63rd minute as the Roadrunners would fall behind in the 3–1 deficit, the final score of the match. The Roadrunners finished out their season 10–8 in regular competition and 7–7 in RMAC competition. They were led in their final match by junior forward with four shots and one shot on goal, sophomore forward Jeff Gillis with one shot and one shot on goal, and senior goalkeeper Keegan Hand with 2 saves.

Conference foe CSM takes league crown from Lady Runners in PK shootout thriller The Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference championship game surpassed expectations as the fans had to wait until penalty kicks for a champion to be crowned. The No. 13 Lady Runners met No. 9 Colorado School of Mines Nov. 9, in Golden, for the conference title game. Metro reached the championship game with a 14-1-4 overall record after beating the Regis Rangers two days earlier. Ninety minutes and two overtime periods were not enough to determine a winner. Metro managed to outshoot the Orediggers 17-5, while making five

of those shots on goal compared to the three shots on goal by CSM. During the penalty kicks, both teams opened by missing its first shot. Then both teams went on to score on their second shot. After seven rounds of penalty kicks, the teams were tied at 5-5. During the eighth round of shots, luck seemed to fade away from the Lady Runners as sophomore Taylor Campbell missed her shot. This gave the Orediggers a chance to close out the game. Kenzie King shot and scored for CSM on the following penalty kick and gave Mines a 6-5 win. With the win, CSM earned an automatic bid to
