Board passes weapons banAurari" joins other schools in bypassing new state lawby Elena BrownThe Metopolitatt

Metro censusNews, page 5

The Auraria Board unanimously yoted to

ban concealed weapons on the campus last

Wednesday, after postponihg the vote in August.

The nine board members present cleared up any

misconceptions on exactly what constitutes a

concealed weapon and the enforcement of such

a ban.

The members agreed that people would not

be searched for fingernail clippers or lweezers,

nor will metal detectors flank the entrances to

the campus. While canying a concealed weap-

on, with a permit, does no1 violate Colorado

state law, it will violate Auraria Campus policy,

they said.

The Colorado concealed weapons law took

effect in May. It states that anyone with a permit

may carry a concealed weapon nearly anywhere

in lhe state.

The permit application, which can be found

online and at local police stations, requires a

minimum age of 2l years, $152.50 for the pro-_

cessing dnd backgmund check and a certificate

of weapons training. The permit is issued about

90 days later and is valid for five years.

The judicial officers of Metro, CCD and

UCD are meeting with the campus police to

make the policy consistent across the campus.

Dean Wolf, executive vice president of Auraria,

believes this ban will make people feel safer and

add a sense of stronger security on the campus.I

l'People already feel threatened in society,"

said Police Chi;f Heather Coogan. "There is no

need for a weapon in the classroom. It's disrup-

tive to the leaming environment."

People in law enforcement are exempt from

the ban.

Not everyone is pleased with the new policy,

including Dudley Brown, execulive director of

Rocky Mountain Gun Owners. "This (Auraria

Campus) is another criminal-safe zone," said

Brown. "That means all the criminals know it's

OK to be there, because no one has a gun but

them."

fhe RMGO is a non-profit, non-parlisan

gun lobbying organization."I can guaranlee you ttris." said Brown.

"The first time a student denied his right to

carry a concealed weapon is harmed, they'll sue

the Auraria Campus for denying theii civil right.

State law is state law, and we'll back anyone that

wants to challenge this."

Some private institutions and establish-

ments, including Six Flags Elitch Gardens and

Colorado Mills Mall, have set up similar poli-

cies banning weapons by posting signs saying

*NO FIREARMS."

"I think that's dumb," said Brown. "Our

members don't spend their money there, and let

me tell you; gun-owners have a lot of money to

spend."

Not everyone agrees with Brown on the

rssue.

"It's a good move lo keep temptations away

and increase the amount of civility on campus,"

said Joseph Sandoval, professor and chair of the

criminal justice department at Metro. "The poli-

cy banned seems to have more bark than bite."

The RMGO Web site lists .businesses and

owners that ban concealed weapons on their

property, but places like Galyan's, which at one

time posted a NO FIREARMS sign, have since

discontinued the policy. The RMGO considers

Galyan's to be redeemed and urges its members

to spend money at the sporting goods store.

Metro sophomore Broderick Wazzie feels

that guns are made for one thing.

"If we start to carry (weapons), problems

will come," he said. "Someone has the power to

take someone's life."

Wazzie said the weapons ban the Auraria

Board implemented makes him feel safe.

Auraria Campus as well as all of the higher-

education campuses throughout the state have

implemented such policies. While the law allows

permit-carrying people to carry concealed weap-

ons, it is a violation of campus policy.

"If there is someoie on campus with a gun,

w€ want to know about it," Coogan said. She

advises not !o approach the person but to call

the campus police.

Auraria defines banned weapons os:

. Any frearms, BB & Pellet Guns

. Bows and anows

. Crossbows

. Slingshots

. KnucHes ol lead, brass or other /netals

. Bowie knives

. Look-alike weapons, such as those usedin drumas and plays, are also banned-

Metro's faculty union will hold their firstrally at 3:30 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 24 at theGolda Meir Center. The Colorado Federationof Teachers, an affiliate of the AmericanFederation ofTeachers, will sponsor the rally.

"The AFT's mission is for faculty to havemore of a voice to determine the condidons oftheir employment," said CFT Director of FieldServices Mark Belkin. The meeting will beopen to the public.

"This meeting is, among other things, an at-tempt to make information available to thewider Metro community," said David Sullivan,an associate professor of philosophy.

The rally will include a wide range ofspeakers, including Penfield Tate of Metro'sFoundation Board, CFT legal council JoeGoldhammer, Faculty Senate President JoanFoster and faculty member Timothy Gould.

According to Goul4 the rally will serveas al"dual-educational function" for unionandhon-union faculry .t-o. bam more absut the '

issues.l'The issue of faculty rights, ranging from

the rights implied by the granting of tenure,to the right to organize, and to the tradition ofshared govemance among faculty, administra-tom, trustees and students, will, presumably, all

be discusse4" Gould said.The tenure issue has been a source of

controversy since Metro's Board of Trusteesreleased their policy manual last July.

Many faculty members have construed themanual's reduction in force policy as an elimi-nation oftenure, since it would allow the presi-dent to eliminate tenured faculty in the event ofa budget crisis.

Interim President Ray Kieft recently report-ed to Ole board of trustees that he will propose'two revisions to the reduction in force policybut could not be reached for comment.

"l've had 23 years experience in business,and I've never heard of a sioation in which thebest-trained staff is the first to go," said Martin.Miller of Metro's history department.

Tenure, as Gould pointed out, is "notjust about job secudty." Without meaningfultenure, M€tro could be 'lhe largest school inthe country at risk of eensure for tenure loss,"Gould said.

Meto currently has a ratio of 290 full-tinefaculty to roughly 1600 adjunct faculty, whichGould called "ope _of the wont ratios in thecounrryl'

The new t€nure policy will actively deci-mate a faculty already diminished by "age anddisgust at working with people who have littleconcept ofa college education," Gould said.

Sullivan noted the imoortance of tenure in

ensuring academic freedom."Tenure is the guarantee for academic free-

dom. Without academic freedom, control ofthe curriculurn is effectively removed from thefaculty's hands," Sullivan said.

Despite the grievances, the union "is noldeadlocked against the board," Miller said.

'!It's imfortant to demonstrate to theadministration that there is a faculty solidarity,"Miller added, who also noted that the issues atstake will ultimately affect the students.

"There seems a deep sense ofpowerless-ness among students and certain faculty alike,as if we are beaten before we even started,t'Gould said.

He also said students are invited andencouraged to attend the rally.

Georqe Culpepper, Dresi-dent ;f rhe Fofitical Sc'ienceAssociation, expressed manyof his concems at the SeDt. 18Student Govemment Assimbly(SCA) meeting.

Former Mefo President Sheila Kaplanreceives $25,000 in settlement agreementdue to disparaging remarks made by boardbyClaytonWoulladTheMehorylitan

Former Metro President Sheila Kaplan'sresignation in June is not the only controversialissue surrounding the school's relation to Ka-plan. She recently settled with the college for$25,000 for disparaging remarks made againsther by Metro Board ofTrustees Chairman BruceBenson during a July dinner billed as a socialevent.

An official Metro release and settlementagreement states: "Kaplan has asserted thatcertain stat€ments made by a member of theboard defamed her and breached a provision ofthe resignation agreement, which promises thatthe board will not disparage her as president ofthe college."

. The document does not state what thecomments were, and Kaplan and her attorneySheldon Smith were both out of town at presstime. But according to a Sept. 4 RociT MountainNews article and the notes taken at the dinner,Benson commented during a question-and-an-swer session that Kaplan had lost confidencein the board, caused in part by misstated factsregarding enrollment and student retention aswell as what Benson said he believed to be a"straing from (Metro's) mission "

. The notes also stated that Benson said Ka-plan's resignation was not politically motivated.

Foundation board member and AlumniAssociation President Courtney Cowgill, whotook the notes at the dinner. said such a settle-

ment and lhe controversy it has caused couldaffect the students, as *'ell as the college.

"Students are paying, at Metro, state tu-ition dollars for an education that is rated veryhigh," she said. "So it's up to you as students tosay 'l am paying thi's amount of dollars in tuitionand I want the very best educalion that Metrocan give me.'But if the school is fiocused onsomething else, they need to do that and still notlose their focus on educational qualities."

She also said that she and other memberswere not aware, during the dinner, what the dis-paraging remarks were.

According to that same News article,foundation board member Penfield Tate said thestatements made were somewhat shocking.

"It was an astounding series of state-ments," he said in the article. "For me, person-ally, I found some ofthe statements inconsistentwith what representatives ofthe board oftrusteeshad shared *'ith the foundation board before."

While interim President Ray Kieft has re-placed Kaplan for the moment, Cowgill said theresignation of Kaplan and several other Metroadministrative officials could also have an effecton the school.

"You I'ant to make sure that the academicexcellence of the cgllege is still there and pro-tected," Cowgill said. "And you need to makesure that whoever is running the college, thatthat is one of their highest priorities."

Cowgill also said tie trustees need to askthemselves some questions

"People have different priorities," shesaid. "What if those people receive different in-

structions from the people they report to? Whatif the faculty gets tired and they decide not towork for Metlo anymore? What if your facultystans leaving because of the unionizing?''

During a Metro Alumni Association meet-ing Friday, Cowgill said she believed the qualityofeducation at the school might be at risk

"lt's threatened. what I wanted to makesure was that truslees make a total comrniftnentand a verbal commitment to the quality of edu-cation.'"' she saidr

"Kaplan has assertedthat certain state-ments made bv amember of the Boarddefamed her andbreached a provisionof her resignationagreement, whichpromises that theboard will not dis-parage her as presi-dent.t'

Group uses creativity for ctrangeCreative Resistance, a Meto activistgoup, fights against social injusticethrough altemate means

belly of the beast and it's our responsibility."The group was initially formed in the

beginning of the spring semester to protest theU.S.Jed war in Iraq. Bernier was one of severalon campus who participated in a CR-sponsored"Peace Camp," in which proGsters campod outin tents for a few weeks with anti-war sentimentsigns such as one reading, "We ain't stoppin''till the bombs stop droppin"

Member Joel Tagert said he almost feelscompelled to be involved in a group like CR.

"I'm in this because the world is messedup," Thgert said. "People are dying all the timeand this govemment seems to think that's okay.That's crazy. I'm in this group because we're

"l'lrl- in this becausethe world is messedup. People are dy-

-loel Tagert,

talking about the survival of the human race."CR is looking at making better music for

rallies or getting artists to do stuff with pro-tests.

"lf you look at most rallies, they're prerry*sedate. And the more sedate they are the lessyoung people want to be involved," Trout said."If there are young people involved, moreyoung people will want to become active."

The group - whose only olficial membersconsist of its founders Bemier, Tagert, Troutand sophomore Caroline Fontoura - is current-

ly working on issues such as promoting voterregistration, supporting Democratic candidateDennis Kucinich, and speaking out against theFree Trade Agreanent of the Americas.

Bernier explained the FTAA is an agree-ment that essentially allows for corporationsto do whatever they want without governmentinterference.

FTAA, which was passed in 1998 underthe Clinton adminisnation and is an expansionof the Nonh American Free Trade Agreementand the World Trade Organization, has thepotential to threaten job security and endangerpublic healthy and safety, according to Bemier.

The group is pushing the issue because,according to Trout, it is, in many ways, theirpivoting point.

"It all goes back to globalization," Troutsaid. "It's so central to practically every issuewe're fighting right now."

Fontoura recently retumed to Coloradoafter a trip to Cancun, Mexico where she andnearly 10,000 activise from arormd the worldprotested the WTO talks, which eventuallyended after several members walked out.

"Hearing about the talks collapsing wasreally amazing," she said.

And while the protests were marked in themedia by the suicide of a Vietnamese farmer,she said the protests had a positive effect onher.

"I felt an immense sense of solidarity," shesaid, "and I came back with a lot ofhope."

While the group is taking on specific issues,they also have strong opinions about some mainproblems they find on campus and in the com-munity, including people's lack of concem forthe problems in the world.

"Students really are apathetic," Tagert said."And so many students don't even care abouttheir own welfare."

Trout agreed and said she thinks it's reallynot too much to ask for people to help out.

'?eople just sit around watching TV wait-ing for the oxygen masks," Trout said. "l just

want people to donate a couple hours a weekto an issue."

The members said that the p€ople they.really have a problem with are Republicans,especially politicians like President GeorgeW. Bush.

"These Republicans are greed-heads, theyjust care about themselves and theirs and asfar as they're concemed the rest of the worldcan go to hell," Tagert said. "They will kill youfor money. And George Bush will kill you for

money; that's flatly the truth. They do not careabout human rights."

David Horowitz, who Tagert .places inthat group of radical conservatives, is pushingfor the Academic Bill of Rights, which callsfor more conservative perspectives in collegeclassrooms.

Tagert recently opposed Horowitz and hiscoming to Metro on Sept-.30 in r Metmpolitaneditorial. Horowitz's speech is another eventCR is planning on protesting.

While some could accuse CreativeResisiance of pushing the "liberal agend4" themembers said they consider CR a 'lrogressive"

group, more than liberal.Tagert also said the group welcomes people

of all political viewpoints."We want everyone here. If somebody

objects to what we're doing, if they objectwhat we're about, let them come her€ and tryto change our minds and I'll try to change theirminds," he said. "I'rn confident that the truthwill win out. I think anv debate benefits thetruth."

Trout said the groupof involvement for thoseinvolved.

"(It's great) even if people just come to anevent a semester or help out in some way," shesaid.

She said she feels the lack of activismon campus and the substantial lack of youngpeople in the activist community in Denver is aproblem, but there is a reason behind it.

'I think that things are so bad right now,that people don't want to admit it," Trout said."To get involved and try and change it, peoplewould have to become ziware of how bad it isand they don't want to face it. And their livesaie okay, so they don't care if somebody else'sll le lsn r.

Tagert is also angry at what seems to himto be an overwhelming amount of apathy, butdoesn't want to demonize anyone.

"I believe that people are fundamentallygood," Tagert said. "We have a choice in howwe act. But there's always a conflicting ten-dency in the human psyche towards se'lfishnesson the one hand and selflessness on the other."Bernier said he often gets discouraged but triesto keep his head up.'

As they make their way down the streels ofDenvei, members of the Sons of Italy will comeacross some of the usual protesters during theirannual celebration of Christopher Columbus.

But this Oct. 11, they may come across awhole new scene. Flanking the streets will besilent protesters holding signs reading "1492,"the year Columbus arrived in the Arnericas.

After the initial confusion passes, themarchers will see what many consider to beColumbus'true legacy: the conquest, slaveryand murder of Native Americans by Columbusand his men as depicted by sheet performers.

This is one of several protest ideasdevoloped by the Metro activist organizationCreative Resistance for activist issues andevents. The street p€rformance is one idea thegroup has for the Transform Columbus Daymovement to be held Columbus Day weekend,joining other groups in the protest against thecelebration of Christopher Columbus.

TCD is just one of many causes the groupsupports and is working for, but they're not atraditional protest group.

"What Creative Resistance is looking todo is protest in more effective ways," saidsophomorc Lindsey Trout, one ofthe four mainmembers of the group. "It's also to get kidsplugged in and active in college, because ifyoudon't get them involved in college, they won'tbe later on."

Their offrcial mission statement reads:"Creative Resistance is a Metro State organiza-tion dedicated to seeking innovative methods ofnon-violent resistance to injustice."

Sophomore Jeremy Bernier, one ofthe pri-mary four members. said CR is important notonly to take a stand against social idustices, butalso to educate.

"I think it's to shed light to issues thatdon't really get talked about in a manner thatis appealing to people like artists and youngpeople; just to get people involved in what'sgoing on in the world" he said. "We're in the

SPAM = Stop PostingAnnoying MailbyTrnDunbmTheMetrcpolitrm

Back in 1971, when Terry Jones & Mi-chael Palin of Monty Python wrote "The SpamSong," featuring the lyrics, "Lovely Spaaam!Wonderful Spaaam! Lovely Spaaam! WondedulSpam," they had no way of knowing the word"spam" would take on a whole new meaningby the beginning of the 2 I st Century. Likewise,when the Hormel company ofAustin, Minnesotainlroduced the food product in 1937 which.wasoriginally called "Spiced Ham" (a contestantwon $100 later that year for combining the"sp" of spiced and the "am" of ham to createthe then-snappy moniker) they had no way ofknowing that something that had virtually noth-ing to do with their product of the same namewould become the bane ofanyone with an emailaccount's existence.

Each year, literally billions of pieces ofspam are transmitted and received via email.Just this moming, aft€r not checking my ownemail account for several days, I had 417 mes-sages in my inbox. Of those 417, only threewere non-SPAM. Three! For the most part, thesebogus pieces of ernail could be placed in one ofthree categories: sex, finance, and drugs

The sex emails usually have to do with en-larging a particular piece of my anatomy, and Ido not mean my prostate. The financejunk, moreoften than not, have messages in the.subject lineto the effect of: "You're Approved," or "GetRefinanced Now." The drug SPAM is, withoutexception, for Viagra, something I neither usenor need.

Just how dumb do these spammers reallythink we are? Well, complete imbeciles, fromthe looks of it. Why else would they send emailsfrom someone named, and I am not making thisup, Jennifer Connelly - whom I adore but donot kno'rr' personaliy - with a message in thesubject line that says, "I miss you"? Believeme, if I really knew Jennifer Connelly and shemissed me, I wouldn't be wasting my time read-ing email (or writing this piece, for that matter).Others include in the subject line clever entic-ers like "Hey, Dude!, Your (sic) the best," and"the government is watching." Of course, theseparasites have to.come up with catchy ways tog€t your attention because if they didn't, youwouldn't bother to open whatever it is they'retrying to sell you.

The thing about SPAM that really getsme is that there must be some moron out therewho actually buys something from these lower-than-pond-scum sparnmers in order for them tokeep wasting their time sending SPAM in thefirst place. The world is full of idiots, I know;but is anyone really that stupid that they believewhatever spammers are feeding them enough

to actually whipout their credit cardand buy somethingfrom them? Do youknow anyone, any-one who has everpurchased somethingfrom an email ad?No, neither do I.But, as PT. Bamumonce said, "There'sa sucker bom everyminute," and theremust be enough ofthose suckers to keepSPAM alive.

If it were mere-ly annoying, SPAMwouldn't be such abig deal. Problem is,with SPAM comesattachments and withattachments comes,Worms and Virusesand Trqans (oh,my!), and thereinlies another pmblem.These things spread,infecting other com-puters and before youknow it, we're backto using Underwoodtypewriters an4 Godforbid, balancing ourowll checkbooks.Hurts just to thinkabout it, doesn't it?

So here are a few simple tips to avoid theSPAM trap; sing along ifyou know the words:

Don't open or view any email you don'trecognize. Ifyou really want to know who sentyou something, right-click on lhe message,scroll down to 'tFroperties" and look that way.You won't be opening anything, the spammerwon't know you exist and will eventually crawlback into whatever gutter they came from.

Never '\rnsubscribe" to a piece of SPAM.Why not? Because you have to actually open theemail to do that, in which case the spammer willknow you exist, will keep sending you ernailsand his demise will take that much longer, allbecause of you.

Never, no matter how great a deal itsounds, ever buy anyhing from someone whohas spammed you. These people are usuallynot legitimate anyway and besides, do you re-ally want to buy something fiom someone whopurposely annoys you? lf no one ever boughtanything from a spammer (hey, I can dream,can't I?) eventually they'd find their endeavorsto be fruitless and they'd all go away.

A lesson in History on individual freedomsPrivacy and individual freedoms are an in- financial history and passenger's occupations.

tegral part ofAmerica's promise to its citizens.When this promise becomes compromised, it

is the duty and respon-sibility of every citizennot only to be outraged,but to do what they arecapable of doing to rightthese wrongs.

This past week Jet-blue Airways admittedpublicly to providinga Pentagon contractorwith information on onemillion of its passengers.

The airline cooperated with the contractor, in vi-. olation ofits very own privary policy, as part of

the govdmment's program to tack terrorists and" potemidly bigh-risk pqrsengers. Accordiog to

thc qi4b9s, th-e inf,orqation that was provided to' . the eof*tor imhdd social s€curity nunbefs,

When and where will the govemment drawthe line when it comes to invading people'sprivacy? It is understandable in our post-9/11world to be wary and cautious when it comesto national security. However, does this requirean intense scrutiny on our very own citizens?Would people's social security numbers, ad-dresses, and occupations have curtailed thetragedy that occurred on American soil? All ofthese questions are valid, and American citizensneed to pay attention to how their government isanswering them.

The contractot Torch Concepts, which ac-quired the information fiom the airlines, workswith the US Anny and indicate.d that they de-stoyed the passenger records. The informationwas gathered in 2001/2002 and shared with theconhactor. After 9/ll the Pentagoa also begandevel-opment of _an elecEonigs surveillanceprojcct known es th€ Terrorisl Infonation

Awareness,All of this may seem fairly innocent, and

some may even think necessary in order tocurtail any further terrorist attacks, but whenour rights and fieedoms are infringed upon, thenthe govemment has gone too far. The FourthAmendment w-as created to protect us fromunlawful search and seizure. Even though theframers ofthe constitution never considered theage of covert surveillance techniques, the prin-ciple still applies. The Orwellian nightmare ofBig Brother is something we grow closer to ev-ery day. The govemment isn't going to all of asudden take over and install cameras and listen-ing devices in our homes, but their ever-watch-ful eyes are becoming increasingly intnrsive.

The fact that an airline could be convincedto tum over passenger information to a gov€rn-menl contractor is not too surprising. What isqrprising $ that this action 'rvas

4rcovqredat all. Th€te are probably thosmds of,these

information transfers occuning everyday in ourelectronic society and we remain none the wiser.Thankfully, in this case, the press was able touncover the story and bring this sort ofproblemback into the public's awareness.

Everyone would agree that keeping us safefrom another terrorist attack should be one ofthe primary concems of our chosen leaders.But how many of us would take comfort in thefact that this safefy would cost us our right toprivacy? The govemmenl has a duty to protectits citizens, but not to tum into an advanced spynetwork that peers through the windows of iecitizen's homes.

Joseph McCarthy had his time and de-stroyed enough lives with his intrqsion andparanoia. Let us hope that this will remain onlya memory of the past, and not something drat *eneed to live through again. Let us hop€ thrt foroqce ws.vrill ledn histsy's lesson .-

Cars, ferd dogs and fire fightsThis series of articles is based on the

dialogue that I have with a friend of mine whois current\ serving in the military. It is ourattempt to illustrate a unique perspective aboutordinary people in an extraordinary situation.He. has agreed to relate this story as it unfolds,for the readers of The Metropolitan.

At times I have known him to be drunk withpatriotism for our country, having served in twobranches of the military but because of thenature of his predicament, he wishes to remainnameless until he retums in October.

These stories are not an embedded reporter'saccount of the war in Iraq. Nor is it likely thatyou'Il find a Rambo's Self Help Guide forWeekend Warriors here; there's plenty of thatout there already. What follows is just onep€rson's account.

This is the twelfth dispatch in the series.

- Ian Nelieh

He threw his arms up and waved them at theboy in a universal sign of "fu#k it," and simplywent on his way.

As I stood watching, I thought about howfriendly these people are, and how much troublethis old man had gone to trying to help his fellowman, - this idiot boy whom he didn't evenknow.

"The second great happening was that oneof my soldiers almost got attacked by some wilddogs. These mutts have taken to hangin! outundemeath the big five-ton.trucks down near themotor pool as of late. When this soldier went topark his vehicle, one of the dogs came out andstarted barking at him.

He put a rnagazine in his weapon and thedog came closer.

He charged the weapon, and the dog camecloser still, its friends forming a group aroundtheir representative. My soldier knew the timefor action was at hand.

Pointing his M-16 rifle at the alpha male, heprepared to squeeze the trigger and move Roverinto the afterlife, but sensing imminent dangerthe Iraqi dog barked a final bark, tumed tail andran. his companions following suit.

Some MPs, hearing the commotion, askedmy soldier:

'What are you doing to those dogs?'He relayed the story and the MP told him

honestly,' l 'd have shot them ifl were you.'

My soldier assured me that next time hewould.

"The third and fmal thing to happen so fartoday in the little piece of the pie we grunts

lovingly refer to as "my lane" was, on the wayto work I was informed that there was a great

explosion (nearby) and a fire fight. When I droveby (the area) all I could see was an orange glowand some smoke in the darkness. I guessed thefight was over,

I found out later that the explosion andgunfight was the latest trend here: lraqis onIraqis.

That's right, now they're fighting amongstthemselves. And the small-arms fite was mostlywhere we sent a patrol to check it out, and theyshot at us. I didn't hear of any casualties.

They're fighting each otherlI don't know if it was bad guys fighring bad

guys, or the Iraqi people fighting back. I wouldlike to think it was the Free Iraqis defendingtheir homes."

This is anbe continued inMetropolitan

ongoing account and willthe next edition of lhe

"A guy I work with told me thisstory :

So there I was, downto,m, talkingto this French news crew. They'wereasking stupid questions like:

"Is it hot in (traq)?" and "How

do you feel when you hear of anothersoldier being killed?"

So, I just looked at them like theywere stupid, and I guess they took the

,hint because they finally left me alone.While I was standing there sweating,

I observed this old Iraqi pushing ayounger lraqi in a little beat-up car.

They roll past me at a whoppingfive miles an hour and then the youngerguy pops the clutch, trying to push startthe car.

Now' this is a common practice hereand I thought nothing of it, and thoughtnothing still when they traveled all theway down to the end of the street andtumed around, heading back my way,the car refusing to tum over.

After about six passes down andback in the sweltering lraqi heat, the oldman hasjust about had it, but on his lastattempl he gives a mighly shove. givingit his all, and sending the car speedingfaster than ever

The kid inside must have had toomuch of that Iraqi hash that day, or hewas just really stupid, because insteadof popping the clutch he just stared,wide-eyed, as his car smashed intothe side of a fairly new parked pickuptruck.

Like bees in a disturbed hive, theIraqis came from the cafe where thetruck had been parked, all angry andscreaming, swarming down upon thehapless teenager.

At this I expected the old man,whom I had taken for his father orgrandfather, to come to his rescue, buthis reaction was one ofawe.

He stood there a moment, watchingthe car smash slowly into the truck, theforce of his effort having tumed thetnrck sideways in its spot, and seemedto contemplate what had gone \ rong.His eyes displayed sheer disbelieftempered with the wisdom of age in thishostile 1and, as he breathed heaviln hishands on his hips.

His next action caused me someconfusion. Then I understood.

Omar Bashir was invited to the UnitedStates to perform at the 9/ll commemorationsin New Yort..

Since he arrived on Sept. 9, Bashir hasplayed in six cities, including Denver, and hasmade appearances at I I concerts.

Playing traditional Iraqi music is what he hasdone for 28 ofhis 33 years.

"I came to perform in the United States tocommemorate Sept. I1," Bashir said. "As anIraqi, I am so happy I can do that."

After a brief inaoduction, Bashir came outon stage dressed in a silky-black shirt, darkpants and black shoes and took a bow amidstan ovation.

Music bridges cultural dividesA rare chance to hear taditional Arabicmusic was at Kings Center for sfudentsfaculty and staffatAuraria campus

pieces from songs made popular by his falher.The stage lights were not what brought

out the genius in Bashin it was the relentlessmovement ofhis fingers that gave commands tothe slring instrument that echoed the prowess ofhis talent.

High and low pitches gave rhythm andmelody to the music.

It was a concert that attracted not too manypeople, but the intensity ofthe music was still feltby the people present.

The concert started about 7:45 p.m. andlasted two hours.

Bashir's solo recitation was about 95 minuteslong with a few seconds in between selections forapplause.

The concert, which was brought to Denverin conjunction with the Community Collegeof Denver and the Arab Student Association,featured improvisation in maqam hijazkar, loveand peace, improvisations in maqam laouk andIraqi dabka (folk dance hme) and a piece inspiredby maqam nahawand. Performance alsq includedimprovisations in maqams mukhalif, awj, huzam,and hijaz, Aldalusian Senora and Seville.

The melodic mood in the recital hall atKing center sent emotional chills through theaudience, akin to a musical scale in Westemmusic, but with inherent rhythmic structure.

The performance u,as electrifying yet tender,and the occasional rhythm and blues componentsofthe pieces played made emotions run high.

"Thrs is my first trip to fie United States andI love playing in the US," Bashir said

The concert also featured a solo performanceflom Cameron Powers. 59, ofBoulder, who alsoplayed the 'ud and sang an Arabic song that wasmade popular in the 1930s.

Powers said he loves playing 'ud, and thatit was "a great pleasure" for hir4 to play in thatconcert.

"The 'ud is a more versatile instrument thanguitar," said Powers who has been playing the'ud for 35 years. "You can play over a hundredscales on the 'ud and it brings out deep transitionsthat carries soul anractions."

Powers founded a non-profit organizationcalled Musical Mission of Peace that makesfrequent trip to Arabic nations; he was out onthe streets of Baghdad nine days before the warstarted.

He said it is time for Americans to learn moreabout the Arabic cultue.

*It is definitely ar honor to have OmarBashir here," said Hector Madrid, the CCDstudent union president.

Madrid said it is a good thing to havesomeone who can showcase the positive sideof Arabs and the Arabic culture. H€ also saidbringing him back next year is a possibility, buthe has not discussed it with Bashir yet.

Moe Sabri. a member of the World MusicInstitute and the producer of the concert here inDenver, said it is a good thing to have this type ofprogram in United States every now and then.

But on bringing Bashir again next year all he

Omar Bashir plays improvisational arrbmusic called maqam hijazkar on a lute in theconcert hall of The King Center Sept 20. Bornin Bndap€st, Bmhir returned to his father,shomeland oflraq to study music atthe BaghdadMusic and Ballet School for over 15 years. Hewas invited by the New York Symphony toplay rt a Sept. 1l memorial.ceremony this year.

had to say is, "we'll see"."Music is one great way to cut through

cultures and establish understanding," Poyerssaid.

'Runners raid Regisr 2-bvC-alvin CaudilloTheMenopolinn

The Roadrunners women soccer team is off

to a great start this season after winning their

first seven games.They might be considered to be a team that

does not buckle under pressure: they can win at .

home or on the road.The 'Runners are coming off a win Sept. 19

against a big rival, Regis. Metro scored both

of its goals in the second half against Regisgoalkeeper Brook Glasman.

The hrst goal came at 62:19 by senior

forward Naomi Clark. Sophomore forward Amy

Leichliter capped off the game by adding a goal

ofher own at 82:59 to make the final score 2-0.

Metro's defense is good. How good? Well,

so far they have given up only 3 goals in 7garnes, thanks to sophomore goaltender Mandy

Allen and the defensive leadership of seniors'

Colleen Fellin and Kristen Nason who rnakeplaying against them a real headache.

Like any other sport, a good defense takes a

lot ofpressure away from the offense.Coach Danny Sanchez sees his team's

defensive achievements as a reflection on the

whole team.When you have four shut-outs in the

beginning of the season, that just means the

whole team is working together.It's still the beginning of the season. only

game 7 of a 20 game schedule, so every game

is a huge one. They say "your're only as game

as your last game," so, by that logic, Metro'slooking pretty good. But, it takes a lot of hardwork to get there.

To say they practice hard would be anunderstatement; the coaching staff makes surethat the team is familiar with their opponents.

"We scout the teams we are going to play,

so in practice we have a pretty good idea ofwhatthey can do," head coach Danny Sanchez said.

"We focus on what a team does well and

The Roadrunners c€lebrate Naomi Clarke's goal in Metro's 2-0 win over Regis Sept. 19. The Roadrunners rre 3-0 in the RMAC.

what they don't do so well."

The Roadrunners try to be sharp in all areas

ofplay, make plays when they can, stay focused

to be aware ofthe opportunities when they come

up.The 'Runners continued their dominance

of the RMAC by edging the Colorado State-Pueblo Thunderwolves l-0. Metro's lone goal

came at 27:38 of the first half by sophomore

midfi elder Marina MacDonald.

This year, Metro's women soccer has a lot to

live up to. Last year, they went l9-3-3 andwerel2-0-2 in the conference.

The teams the Roadrunners face may

change, but that does not mean that they prepare

any differently, They prepare the same no matter

who they are playing against.Metro is ranked third in NCAA Division

II polls going into their game against Regis

who, according to Coach Sanchez, is one of the

greatest challenges they have faced yet.

"Ifthere were anything that we have to work

on, it will come out during that game," Sanchez

said.He added. "So. with that in mind there is

always a sense that this team needs to improve

upon some aspect oftheir game."

Road trips lack glamourbyElin OfierTheMenowlinn

p oad trips are not always pure pleasureI\and not always pure hell. The good

comes with the bad.All you.have to do as a student athlete

is keep your focus, try to keep up with yourschoolwork and not take anything for granted.

You are always a bit nervous before a roadtrip because you never klow how it's going toend. You don't have the same routines as youdo at home and you don't have home fieldadvantage.

You know you have to focus on what you'redoing more than usual, but it is much harderwhen you're away.

First of all, there is a room-sharing issue.You share a room with three other girls on theteam and there are two of you in a bed.

lf you're really out of luck, you end uptogether with someone who snores.

Imagine that room at the end of your stay:four player's sweaty shin guards, used soccercleats and old practice shirts. It doesn't alwayssmell like candy.

Another thing that can be hard is the "hoteldeath": when you get bored out ofyour mind.

Like this time in Phoenix: it was about 100degrees outside, so our coach, Danny Sanchez,ordered us to stay inside. You see nothing but

the hotel interior, and after a couple of hours

that is not very exciting.

To prevent this, we watch a lot of televi-

sion, order movies or play a card game calledSkip-Bo.

Arother highlight of the day is to go tothe gas station across the street and buy somesnacks that the vending machines at the hoteldon't provide.

Of coune, all the spare time gives us timeto study, but many of the players find it hardto do that when there are people around you allthe time.

Also, many find it hard to focus on home-work when there are only a few hours beforea game,

Road trips aren't just about being boredat the hotel in between games and practices,though. There are some fun things we do.

If we have one day ofT, Sanchez makes surewe enjoy ourselves.

On this trip's day off we chilled by the pool

at the hotel in the morning. Some ofus enjoyedthe water-slide, some the hot-tub and others just

worked on their tans.Shauna Stefan, one of the players on our

team, is from Phoenix, so later that day we wentto her house for lunch and more swimming.

The day ended with a visit to tbe movie the-ater. Half of the team watched "s.w.A.T." andthe rest saw "Uptown Girls."

The best thing about road trips is the wayyou get to know the new players, especiallyat the beginning of the season when you don'treally know much about them.

You have a lot of fim memories to shareas well.

Then we have soccer, the main teason weare here.

Our first game on the road was againstGrand Canyon University. After a shaking first15 minutes we started to play our game. We

won 4- l.We played our second game against

Humboldt State. After some defensive struggleswe won that one as well. The final score was

Even though we'd been on the road for fivedays, our last game was the best one we played,

though we had some problems scoring.We played Westem Washington and it

wasn't until nine minutes into overtime that wefinally scored on a header off a corner kick to

end the game- That was happiness mixed withrelief.

The thing is, it's hard to be ranked fifth inthe nation. Every team is out to beat us. Theygive their all out on the field. They want to beus. They want to be the fifth team.

We, as players, have to remember thisall through the season. We have to prove toeverybody, and ourselves, that we deserve to bewhere we are.

We have to continue to work hard in ourpractices and games because we can't take any-thing for granted.

We want to win it ail this season and nobodyis willilg to give it to us for free.

Road trips or not, we better make sure towin our eames.
