A kick in the tire?Cars to get'boot'for three or moreunpaid tickets

By Boyd Fletcher

fletchar@mscd.eduThese boob aren't made for walking, but

firat's just what they'll force you to do.The Parking and Transportation office

recendy purchased four car immobilizers,also known as "the boo!" to help collectoutstanding ffnes fiom delinquent drivers.

Mark Gallagher, director of parking andbansportation services for the Auraria High-er Educalion Center, said that while the useof the boot is new, the policy on impormd-ing vehicles has not changed.

"We have had an ongoing impoundmentprogram through our enforcemenL Former-ly it was towing primarily and we have justswitched to the boog' Gallagher said. "Wearen't aying to sneak up on anybody."

Illegally parked cars on campus with twocitations that are not under appeal or havenot been paid will r€ceive a third ticke! aswell as a-red r€ on their windows informingthem that they now have three outstandingtickets. The person will then have three daysto either appeal or pay the tickets.

If those [ckeb are not taken care of,however, and the car is parked on carnpusagain, a boot could be placed on a wheel.

A notice is also placed on car windowswaxning the violator not to drive, as well asinforming them that they owe three or morecitations and details on how to pay them.

Having the boot removed requires pay-ing off all fines along with a $50 boot-remov-al fee. Cars left "booted" over 72 hours will

New'Bool' Policy. Vehicles with threeor more unpaid park-ing tickets have threedays to pay or appealthe tickets.o If those parkingviolations are notresolved and the caris parked on campusagain, the owner willbe forced to pay a $50boot fine along withthe amounts of theoutstanding tickets.

$ "4-be towed and the owner must then pay thedelinquent tickeb, boot removal fee and theapproximately $150 towing charge.

UCD faculty and staff leamed of thecharrge in a recent edition of the Silaer andGold Recmd,, but students were not ofrciallyinformed of the change in how the campusimpounds vehicles.

Julie Hughes, director of communica-tions for AHEC, said a notice for faculty willbe in the fall edition of +he Auraria Update,which will be dishibuted in early October.Hughes said the presidents of the tlreeschools had. been informed of the change

and, in hindsight, she would liked to haveplaced an ad in Thc Metropolitan atd ThtAd:uocate to inform students of the new park-ing procedures.

Gallagher said Parkjng Services had con-tacted the three schools and were leaving itup to them to inform shrdenb of the newmedrod.

However, Metro spokesperson CafryLucas said she didn't receive the memo untilSepL 26.

"We ffgured the word would get oug"Gallagher said. "We expected shrdenb toleam about the boot through campus new*papen, and also through wordofmouthfrom other shrdenb."

According to Lindsey Strudwick, a part-ing services fixmager with the city, privatecompanies are legally allowed to boot carsand collect ffnes. Sfudwick said rhis is com_mon now in the Cherry Creek area, and itbrings more money to the businesses thaJcollect the fines, as opposed to having thecar towed.

AHEC purchased the immobilizersin two sizes, which are capable of lockingdown any vehicle from a compact to a firll-slzed tuck

"It's important to remember that revenuefrom parking doe$'t just go into the park-ing-black-hole,' Hughes said. *That moneyfeeds back into the campus facilities.'

"This policy is similar to the one in useby the city of Denver," said Strudwick.

After a car has received a thad parkingviolation, the owner is given 20 days to payoff one or all of the ffnes they have incurred,and then the ticket doubles.

After that 20 days, the car becomes "booteligible" and as ori the Auraria campus, ifthe car is booted the owner must pay offall oubtanding ffnes as well as a $50 bootremoval fee.

Referendums C and D opponent JonCaldara accused supporters of the ballotmeasures of playing to the crowd during adebate over this year's ballot measures althe Tivoli Tumhalle SepL 22.

Caldara's opponent, Brad Young, a Republican and former state Iegislator fromLamar, wamed the crowd of rnore than 100shrdents and faculty that higher educaiionfr-urding will be cut by $200 million if thereferendums fail.

"Four-year colleges and communitycolleges will be hit the worsl" Young said."You'll see hrition skyrocker"

Caldara" president of the IndependenceInstitute, a Golden-based freernarket thinktank, drew Young's ire when he said that the$200 million in cuts seemed to come fromwhatever venue at which the referendumssupporters were speaking that day.

"They are using the bogeyman to scarevou-" Caldara said to the crowd.

Referendums C and D, which are slatedfor the state-wide ballot in Novenber, werea collaborative effort between Gov. Bill Ow-ens, Democras and some Republicans inthe legislature last session. They drafted thereferendums in resDonse to the Taxoaver'sBill of Rights, or titso& ,lmeodttr"tit z.:,and the economic recession.

Supporters of the referendums say thesefactors have put a squeeze on the state bud-ge! which has led to $l billion in spendingcuts over the past four yean.

TABO& a constibrtional amendmentapproved by voten in 1992, places a cap ongoverffnent spending and requires the gov-ernment to refirnd any extra revenue.

The problem with TABO& also knownas the "ratchet effecl" began ffve years agowhen the state experienced a drop in rev-enues from previous years due to the slumping economy. Under TABO& new spend-ing caps were established based on the new,lower revenues of the recession.

Minority student numbers on fte rise ol MelroHispanic. studentstup emruc groups

By Jimm.r, Cusackatsack@mscd.edu

The number of minority sh.rdents at Met-ro has increased to 24.1 perceng up from23.7 percent last year.

The largest increase was in Nalive Amer-ican strdents, which grew by 17.9 percen!from 207 shrdents last year to 244 this year.That number has increased sigriffcandysince 2001 when the nunber of AmericanIndian students was at 160.

Hispanics made up the Iargest group ofminority shdents. There are cwrendy 2,787Hispanic shrdenb enmlled at Metro, an an-nual increase since the 2001 census repor!at which time the Hispanic snrdent popula-tion was ar\%2.

Metro has not yet been able to make theclaim drat one quarter of the shrdent bodyis made of minority studenb, but with anincrease in the numbers every year since2001, it is likely that this will happen in thenear fuhue.

"Metro has not been able !o break the25 percent mark in regards to minodtyshrdents," said Jim Morfeld, who works inMeho's admissions office, "but I believe asDenveis population grows, especially in regards to the Hispanic commr-rnity, this num-ber will increase."

African-Americans account for 1,259 shr-dents, an increase of 69 shrdents from lastyear and up from 1,067 students in 2001.

DEBATI o Panelists point to cutsContinuetl from 3

The referendums, if passed, will, forthe next ffve years, ease the spending lim-its mandated by TABOR and will allow thebudget to retum to where it was before therecession.

If the referendums are approved, tax-payers will lose about $500 each in refirndsover five years

Caldara said that TABOR is not toblame for budget shordalls and higher edu-cation cuts.

He blamed the cuts on Amendment 23ald the recession, and said that higher edu-cation is speaking up now to ffx TABOR,but did nothing to stop Amendment 23.

Approved by voters in 2000, Amend-ment 23 increases K-12 public school spend-ing annually by I percent over inllation andenrollment growth. The maldated increaseshave made school spending a large portionof the state budge! forcing cuts elsewhere.

Young said that while he agreed withhis opponent thai Amendment 23 is part ofthe problem, it is a problem that cannot befixed for next year's budget because voterscan only change the constihrtion in even-numbered years.

Flrnding for public schools and Medicaidis expected to increase by $200 million nextyear and TABOR lirnjts are expected to re-sult in $208 rnil[on in taxpayer refrmds.

This would force legislaton to cut $408million from the budget with the largest cutscoming from higher education, according toYoung.

Caldara said besides dealing withAmendment 23, the state could save moneyby making higher educational systems moreefficient.

He used ne'rv University of ColoradoPresident Hank Brown as an example. Dur-ing his tenure as president of the Universilvof Northem Colorado. Brorm trimmed thebudget by curdng adrninishadon salaries,and selling the campus bookstore ard radiostatior\ among other tactics.

Caldara said that higher education alsoneeds to stad talking about faculty produc-uviry.

"The idea that (CU professor Ward)Churchill can get a pay raise and work sixhours a week, tells me there is somethingwrong," Caldara said.

Young said there is already procurementand Medicaid reform taling place to makegovemment run more efficiendy.

The majority of reaction from studentsand hculty during the debate was in favorof the referendums. Loud cheers and ao-plause followed several of Young s com-ments and several members of the crowdgrilled Caldara during a QIA session fol-lowing the debate.

Nicole Servino, an adjunct inshuctor atMebo and CCD, received applause follow-ing a heated question directed at Caldara.

Servino said she teaches 27 credit hours,or nine classes, to make enough money tosupport herself. She said she is in favor ofthe referendums because of Meho PresidentStephenJordan's plan to add 60 new tenure-u:ack faculty and raise adjunct pay if theyDass.

"From a student's perspecfive, wouldyou rather be taught by a part-time profes-sor who is hustling between three campusesto rnake a living, or would you rather betaught by a fuIl-time professor who is carry-ine four classes?" Servino said.

Should rheir Godgo to our schools?

thal, according to a July 2005 poll, nearlytwo-thirds of Americans believe creation-ism should be taught alongside evolutionin the science classrooms of our publicschools.

T\e Times indicated that this might bea reflection of our democratic values---ourdesire for a fair and balanced axgument.

Since Darwin's time, these two ideashave been pivotal in the ongoing debatebetween faith and logic.

One theory that purposes to bridge thedistance between these opposing notionshas been gaining popularity in the past sev-eral years.

The theory of Intelligent Design statesthat we, and our universe, are too complexto be the producl merely, of natural selec-tion, and that some lnlslligent being-God,for example-must have set the great wheelrolling.

Although supporters of Intelligent De-sign argue that the theory is secular innahrre, critics claim it is creationism in asheep zuiL They see it as a ruse for sneak-ing religion back into the public-school cur-riculum.

The issue. Yet it brings to light an im-pofiant question: Do we have the right tochoose a public-school cr.rriculum for our-selves?

Who could argue that we don't havesuch a right? If we are not deciding for our-selves, who is deci.ling for us?

Here in the United States. we havesomet}ing called the democratic process:the majority nrles. If two-thirds of us thinkcreationism should be taught right along-side evolution, let's put it to a vote. Whatcould be the problem?

Well, there is a problem, of course. It'sthat Bill of Righe ttring-Ore separation ofchurch and state part. To be fair, the FirstAmendment says nothing about separa-tion. It states, simply, that the governmentshall not establish (or impose) a nationallgligion.

The problem with the Creationismand Intelligmt Design theories is that theymaintain it was God who got things going.And God is, regardless of what name

He's going by, a religious dude (or gal,or both, mayhap)-the ultimate answer toquestions, not of logic or science, but offaith.

I will concede that it might just be Godwho created the Universe. But one thing iscertain: nobody knows who or what, ex-actln God is, or even if He/SheA is intel-ligent.

So, do we have the right to choose whatwe, and our children, will be taughl even ifit s wrong? Maybe so.

And what if we want, also, to teach andbe taught that the Earth is flag that two plustwo is seven and that the slaves really had itprety good? The majority rules.

If we want ignorance, then, by God,we'll have it

But I sure hope we've evolved beyondthaL

Asking rheAImighry

As I vvrite this column, I'm sifting hereenjoying one of my most favorite boredompastimes: M*A"S*H.

The episode I am currendy watching isthe one where the wounded soldier comesin and says he'sJesus Christ.

The scene just ended where FatherMulcahy sits down to talk with the soldierto see what the deal is. Mulcahy is initiallytonguetied, and with good reason.

The Padre doesn't know if this guy isoff his rocker or is really Jesus speakingthrough a mortal man. Now, he must get tothe botlom of the situation by talking to him.This leads me to wonder-what would I sayto Jesus if I should ever have an exclusiveaudience ?

As a Catholic, I have been told sinceday one that we are always in contact withGod through our thoughts and prayers.

However, ihere is no real back-and-forth conversation with the Lord when Ipray, so asking questions is usually fruidess.But what would I ask if I had an interviewwith the Alrnighty?

I would ask why He has left us toour own devices. I would ask why Hewould trlm His back on those who arestarving or in dire need. I would ask Hisopinion on those who do not believe inHim. I wor:Id ask why there is divisionamong His followen. Why he would al-low people to kill others in His name. Iwould ask if we are to hate the sinnen likethe Westboro Church of Kansas wantsus to, or to love them like Jesus would.Iwouldaskthe questionsthatneedtobeasked.I would ask if the natual disaste$ thathave fallen upon the people of this planetare His work or the work of the random-ness of nature that He designed? I wouldask why He would let people advocatehatred and violence in His name. I wouldask why prayen aren't answered and whygood people die before their time. I wouldask if gay people getting married angershim as much as the Republican Party saysit does.

But, I don't have all the questions., I would also assume that, il I did have

an interview with God the whole worldwould have a vested interest in what ques-tions a.re asked as well as the imswers.

Since an interview can only go on forso long, I would have to limit myself toaround l0 or so questions.

I don't know if there are any right orwrong questions. I'm a.fraid I would betonguetied rnyself. Besides, I'm not theone who would do the asking. Someonemore worthy would be chosen, if zuch anevent were to tanspfue.

But I can't help wondering.So, my question for you: What would youask God or the Divine Power (if there isone) if you were to ask just one question?What would you ask? Or would you askanything?

Please send your questions and expla-nations to the e-mail address above and,with your permission, Ill have the most in-teresting answers next week.

Shoron Jones:The Godmother of soul?

This is not a review; ihis is a shameless promotion of a musician. u'ho I think isthe bomb. ThinkJames Brosn in heels (and a lot premier), and you get SharonJones.I went to a SharonJones and the Dap-Kings concert ar quixote's last Sah:rday, andlet me sav this: If vou w'ere there, and you didn't find vourself moving your body inany \4a)- remotelv related to dancing, then you're not human.

I'r'e been listening 0o her records for the past three years, and the image of her inmv mind rvas alu,ays one of a garganhran woman to match the voice that belts out ofthe speakers. !!'hen she carne on the stage, I was shocked at horv tiny she was. Buldressed in a short pink dress, ha.ir in braids, she dominated the stage.

Jones has a rich, soullirl voice, and no one has more sass. She taught us whiteassColorado concertgoers horv to do the funky chicken and the mashed potaio, all ther.r,hile pointing out that while she might not do those dances as rvell asJames Brorm,he didnt do them in heels, honey..

Ary*"y, I can't emphasize enough how' impoftant it is to go out and see her nexttime she's in torvn. ICs like going to Vegas and not gambling-you just need to do it.

fhis fall, f 'm studying love

As school begins again, it seems I lookless forward to science class and more tothe science behind Me. Why do the compli-cated equations of love seem to be harderthan the chapter I am supposed to be read-ing for my upcoming test? I want to askmy teachers about this weird science, but assoon as I mention life outside the existenceof the classroom, they look at me as if I amspeaking a foreign lairguage.

Some days I feel like I'm walkingaround campus in a daze, wondering whv Ispend more time reading my text messagesthan the $100 textbook I bought I cramfor tests thinking that's the way I'll learn.I realize if I was tested on life. then love.

would do me no good. I'd beoverwhelrned by the hvisted facb of my lifethat in no way fft on a timeline the r,r,ay theyso naturally do in historv class.

I look around schooi and wonder if theother studenb feel the same way I do. Is thegirl that walked by me on the way to thelibrary ttrinking about her latest test gmde... or the latest makeuo shade?

So much is going- on aror.rnd us in theworld-hurricanes, political problems-butsometimes I feel so overwhelmed by rvhatis going on in just my line of sight, that Iforget to read the newspaper w'hile I drinkmv moming coffee. lnstead, I stare into thepool of sugary-sweet blackness ald ponderthe thoughts in my head. Is the bifter, vetsweet taste in my mouth from the coffee, orfrom my memories-memories of my laiestfizzled romance and mv once.again brokenheart?

I am living proof that there is life afterthe death of a romance. After your heart isbroken. it will heal iself. The most power-fi:l two people in the world are you ... andus. And each of us carr conquer whateverwe Dut our minds to.

My recent heartache all started lvith abook I was writing. Firsl I decided I need-ed two main characters. I was going to bethe firsg and whatever victim of a boy Ilaid my finely-tuned eyes on was going tobe my sidekick. My plot was going !o beabout a boy with bright new promises. Itwould be neither too deep nor too shallow.My pages would be fflled -lth what wereonce just daydreams I had while sifring inmath class-the idea that love could lastforever. I would write my book so that.itwas understandable to people everywhere,because I would write in the universal lan-guage of love. It would be perfec! it would

be a faintale.Six years after beginning the next Pu-

liuer Prize winner, I realized there was noend in sighf I was writing in circles, re-peating mistakes in chapter ffve that I hadmeant to fix in chapter three. I decided itwas time to ffnd an editor.

I rvent to an old friend, and she insh:uct-ed me that my book needed some majorcleanup. Mv chapters seemed to be out oforder. I was soning through so manv wordsjust io come up with a single sentence.\Vhat had been so smooth in the beginninglvas now just a jumble of words; a jumbleof scribbled passion. I rvasn't hansiatingthe words into the language I rvas trying tourite in. I had no idea how to ohrase whatI mezrnt into the language of lov'e.

N{y perfect idea for a book rvas nowjust a'laundry list of emotions. I began totear the pages out of the book one brv one-Soon, I r.vas donn to just a few chapters,follorved by just a feu' pages. I continuedto tea-r until I onlv had sentences, andthese sentences would soon hlm into singlewords. I was throwing away the book-ofstories I had taken so lone to build. I didn'teven recognize the charaiters anyrnore, orthe roles they played. Had I even been acharacter in this book?

M;, fairytale had become a diary of atemporarv romance. And diaries don't winprizls. It was time to start mv book over.-

Sorting through the woids of my ffrststory, I realized one thing. The entire worldseems like a possibility. Who knorvs whatmy next book will look like? Maybe itdoesn't need a concluding chapter, becausenow I r:nderstand love has no distance andlove has no ending. Iove is a sudden weak-ness in the knees that we will all experienceoccasiolally. It will come in waves, andsometimes it will blind us. AII I know is thatmy next book will be another fairytale, andthis one will be even more magical.

A majority of abortions-90 percent tDbe exac! according to the Guttrnacher In-stitute-occur within the ffrst rimester, muchlike Tumer's. While some women have anoption for abortions induced with orally ad-ministered medicaflons, Tumer had a surgi-cal procedure known as suction aspiration.

"It wasn't an inasive procedure. It didn'thurt. I heard stories when I was 13 or 14 thatdoctors use a vacuum that can suck out yourinsides and insiead it was gende suction. Itwas awkward, but not painfirl."

Tumer described her abortion as an"isolating' experience. "(An) experienceyou can only go through by yourself. As Iwas vomiting in the bathroom as a reactionto the morphine the only person that couldgo through that experience was me."

Smarts foundon street,in books

Twice in my life someone has told methat I need to get my head out of the booksand get some sheet smarts. I decided thatsheet smarts did not sewe those two verywell because both of the people who madethis comment to me were repeat-offenderfelons.

So, wha.t did they mean by sbeet srnarts?What are sheet smarts exacdy?

To ansr,ver this question, I did a Googlesearch and got these two definitions: Ashrewd ability to survive in a dangerousurban area or practical knowledge, as opposed to ivory tower or bookish knowledge,on how to succeed tlrough life, or generallyhow to avoid dre pidalls.

It can also be used in a euphemisticsense to reGr to stupidity. I conducted aninformal poll of my incredibly divend groupof friends and got incredibly diverse opin-ions. Most of them said that skeet smartsis basically conunon sense or the ability torecognize a con or a hustle.

One friend said a person with streetsmarts is a vulture or predator and the po-tential prey simply needs street smarts toprotect himself fiom the predator.

The collective voice of my friends saidthat it really depends on one's environment.Street smarts would not particularly beneffta Derson in an educational environmenlCo'nverselv. book smarts would not beneffta person in the sbeets, Take, for example,a homeless person. In the steets, everyoneis looking to husde each other for whateverthey can gel Panhandlers hustle all of uswith their creative sigrs claiming to be hun-gry, unemployed or victims facing unfor-tunate times. Are they really hungry? Willthey really work for food? Or are they justkying to husde up enough money for drugsor alcohol?

Book smarts is simply know{edge offacb and information and is more sociallyacceptable. Book smarts are necessary for le-gitimate economic gain and social mobility.But, without common sense or street smarts,how far wlll one get on book knowledgealone?

Common sense is necessary because onehas bo be "hip to the hop." Sheltered peoplewho have not become familiar with the waysof the world would certainly be prey for thestreet-smad predator and as the definition ofsheet smarb states; this type of knowledgehelps one avoid the pidalls of life.

There will a.lways be those in one groupwho try to take advantage of those in theother.

As a person who does possess bothkinds of smarts, the most important thingI have leamed is this: what goes aroundcomes arotrnd. There is a karmic debt forevery wrong commised and it is crucial tobeat others the way we want to be treated.Fear of karma makes one wise and creates amore gende life path.

We are fooling ourselves to believe thatwe can go through life thinking we are squir-rels just trying to get a nut Besides, booksmafis create a wealth of knowledge andknowledge is power.

in the city.Tumer\ father drove his parbrer at ihe

time to California. She said both of her par-ents became outsooken advocates of a6or-Uon righb from their experience.

Penonally, Tumer had possessed prochoice politics prior to having an abortion."I leaned prachoice, but did not think thatI would go through with that option until Iwas faced with that decision."

Contrary to what one may expect,Turner is very comfortable with her deci-sion. "The only real issue I had was that Iwas not having issues, There was this soci-etal imolication that I should have felt a loss.There'i a lot of societal pressure. I thoughtI should feel more of a loss than I did. Myissues came from the experience that got mepregnant."

This week as Tumer heads to class inher last semester at Auraria, she will have tofaceJustice for AlI, an anti-choice $oup thatrvill erect l&foot displays of what they claimto be aborted fehrses. Tumer said she thinlsthe display is 'rmforhrnate. "

"I know there will be girls that have hadabortions, experienced trauma related toabortions, considering abortions and guys,too, that are going to be faced with these im-ages of what abortion is not really like."

Statisfca]ly, Turner is right A mere.08 percent of abortions are performed onootentiallv viable fehrses and fewer than 2percent of abortions are pedormed after20 weeks, according !o ihe GuttrnacherInstitute. In order for these procedures tobe performed, there needs to be a medica.lemergency, such as serious risks to thehealth of the woman or fetal anomalies thatwould male a live birth impossible.

Protected sex and serious contemplation

Much of the debate sr:rroundi4g abor-tion is when life does or does not begin. Religion, science and personal feelings jumbletogether and create an impassioned debatethat often forgets part of the equation affect-ed by the choice of whether or not a preg-nancy *iI be carried to term: the woman.She may have been raped, had conkaceptives or birih conh.ol fail, experienced a dra-matic change in her health or made a deci-sion she la.ter regrets. Regardless, the voiceand perspective of women must be placedat the forefront of a discussion involvingtheir bodies, freedoms, lives and healtluboth menally and physically.

Tumer said she reflects on this daily."If (abortion) would not have been legal atthe time, I deffnitely would have pursuedother means." For this reason, she has beenassisting the campus members planning aresponse to Justice for All. "I pray, for thesafety and sanity of women, that the Roev.

Paul Grushkin's rock poster collectionepitomies all the best elemens of the musicitself: it shocks and entertains even as it en-lightens.

On Sept. 27 , noted, music historian andauthor Paul Grushkin presented 100 rockposters from his collettion in a slide.showformat to a small andience at the Tivoli. Thepresentatii{n included ei chronological displayof rock music posters from the 1950s throughtoday, as well as a fi1sLhand perspec[ve onhow' the poster art industry has evolved overthe decades.

Grushkin has devoted a significant part ofhis life to the rock music business. h 1969,armed with a 1967 Life llaagazne that proffledthe art of rock posters, he started his obses-sion with music-inspired art Raised in NewJersen Grushkin moved to Califomia in thesummer of 1969, after being admitted to Stan-ford Univenity. After less than a week in theGolden State, he hitchhiked to San Franciscoto sample the burgeoning underground scene.Once in the city, Grushkin walked aroundasking people where he could purchase rock

posten. His inquiries led him io Poster Mat,a store that specialized in the genre. He metthe owner, who offered to show him into hisbasement and guide him tlrough his exten-sive personal collection of rock art.

The next day, Grushkin attended his firstrock show. He retumed to the Stanford cam-pus with a new passion for rock music and thean that promotes iL This passion was morethan a mere hobby. In fac! it became a largefocus of his life. His dorm room walls wereplastered with Poster Mat's rock posters andmuch of his free time became immersed inihe musical culture that thrived in San Fran-cisco.

After graduating from Stanford in 1974,Grushkin kept up with collecting rock post-ers and leaming about the poster-making pro-cess. He formed relationships with his favoritebands, the venues, and the artisb that de-signed the posters and flyen that he admiredso much. Grushkin became dedicated toshowcasing the amazing art that helps to support the live rock music scene. He spoke withexperienced artists and leamed more about

their work. Gmsbkin continued on a quest toencourag€ young artish to keep their art vivid'and alive in the spirit of rock 'n' roll. Then,he became intrigued with leaming about theprocess of printrnaking and began to investi-g'ate the production aspect of rock music artdesign.

Grushkin closely obsewed two printerswho made their rock poster business intoan intemational venbrre. Ron Donovan andChuck Sperry travel. to countries such as Ger-'many and Italy to teach othen about their in-novative printing techniques. Donovan andSperry exported the spirit of young Americanrock 'n' roll to insphe other artists and prinrers io spread the high level of energy in theposer art indush-y. All of these vafious con-tacts connected with rock art would evenhrallylead him into a career at the forefront of themusic indusby.

Grushkin is the author of "The Art ofRock " (Chronicle Books) a chronicle regard-ed in the industry as the Bible of rock posters.He has also co-written three follow-up books,including his most recen! nThe Art of Mod-

photocopied images and scrawled drawings.This collection brings all these diverse stylestogether and nicely illushates the evolution ofan art form.

As long as rock 'n' roll remains a havenfor the shocking, for the avant-garde and forthe iconoclastic. these posters will continue toconvey those same values.

X-Men legendc 2Rire of Apocalypsehrblisher: ActivisionPrice: $4e.99Platforrns: PS2, Xbor (online); GameCubeThe words "genetic mutalion" usually inspiies images of debilitat-

ing sicknesses and hereditary weaknesses. However, in Activision'snew game, "X-Men legends 2: Fise of the Apocalypse," it is thecharactenl genetic mutatiors that enable their vast arr-ay of zuper-

Powfn, 'A follow-up to 2004's popular role playing game "X-Men Leg-

endsr" "Rise of the Apocalypse" feaires both familiar elemenbfrom the oliginal and novel irmovations that take the game play toanolrer level.

The game's cinematic segments contain impressively detailedand drarnatic graphics that unfold like a topnotch tuiller. Similarly,the game's storyline is carefully ploted and displays a familiarlty ofthe original comics.

In this installmen! two groups of mutants, the noble X-Menheaded by ftofessor Xavier and the infimous Brotherhood ledby the zuper villain Magneto, mu$ join forces to bafle against acornmon threar, the dreaded Apocalypse. These erstwhile enemiesbecome unlikely allies and in the process offer the player all theadvantages and frm of their combined mutant powers.

The vast cast of characten is the main selling point of the game.With the unlikely mutant alliance, a player can choose between evilcharacters likeJuggemauq Magneto and Toad as well as familiar he-

roes like Wolverine, Storm and C,lclops. Wha.ds more, there are s+cret characters that one can unlock as the garne progresses. hofessorXavier is freed from his wheelchair to join the ffght and Deadpooljoins the ranks.from hoject X Even Iron Man havels to the X-Manuniverse to batle the bad gup.

The format lends for some tedious and complicated elemenb inbuilding up the characters. The team gains experience poinb widreach rnission accomplished and each bad guy bashed, standard role-playing game featrres. These points give the characten heightenedpowers and altributes as they stack up. It is the playey's responsibilityto dole out these points. Ilappily, the sequel fea.b,res an auto modewhere all of these speciffcs are taken care of by the AI, which allowsthe player to focus on the action.

Still, the gane involves some timeconsurning and involved rain-ing elements. Although the same basic button combinations workfor each wery playable persona has ib own qpecialty.With l7 heroes, gefring the feel for each one's unique powers andshengtbs is an effort in memorization.

Sdlt, this process should pose no problem for any fan of thecomic, "X-Men Legends 2' is a sprawling elechonic celebration ofI-ee's comic vision. Even for a player unfamiliar with the originalstory there are still plenty of engaging action and storylines.

"X-Men Legends 2: Rise of the Apocallase" adds a new perspec-tive to the word "mutation." With its acfion, its drama and ib detail,it will mutate any player with patience into a full{edged memberof the X-Men.

We Love Kata^mariPublisher: NamcoPrice: $29.99Platform: PS2

The most conrmon reaction to seeingthe game "Katarnari Damac/ for the ffrsttime is, 'This is the most ridiculous thing Ihave ever seen."

Resernbling something like Hello Kityon a Yellow Submarine ride to Pee Wee'sPlayhouse, as designed by Picassq the ffntinstal[medt was one of the few ganres wor-thy ofbeing called unique.

Burnout 3: Takedownhrblisher: Electronic ArtsPrice: $49.99Platforms: PS2, X-Box

Since the moment I ffrst starled up"Bumout Revenge," I have lost importanttime usually devoted to social interaction,sleep and eating. nbctronic Arts may haveto establish a rehabilitation clinic for peoplewho play this game. Like the tobacco corrFpanies, EA has taken an addictive productand made it harder to put down by t$rening the garneplay, enhancing the graphicsand adding incredibly frm new features.

Seriously, this game will zuck you in, sobe forewamed.

When I fint played "Revenge's prede.cessor, "Burnout 3: Takedown," I found itwas the racing game I had been waiting myentire gaming life for--and more. In "Bum-ou!" the player is not only allowed to crashinto opponenb, but is rewaxded for violendypushing them off the road.

With Crash mode, players eam a brome,silver and gold medal, depending on themillions of dollars in damage caused by themulticar pileups players create by crashingtheir cars into baftc. "Revenge" allows play-ers to contol the mag4ihrde of fteir Cras]r

breaker. a "Br.mouP standard that allowsplayers to explode their vehicle, sending fireand debris in all daections.

The Crashbreaker race is the most vola-tile and downright coolest way to take dov"nopponents. Now, when players crash intoan oncoming car, or just a wall-like I tendto do when I'm flying down the road toofrst-+hey can acfivate the Crashbreaker andtake out any opponenb driving within theradius of the explosion.

But the level of e:rplosion depends onthe amount of boos! which is only eamedth-"dt tirky driving zuch as going in thewmng direction, tailgating opponenb, or"cheddngl ta$q a new feafire in "Re

venge." Tra.ftc-checking allows players torearend civilan cars, sending them flyingdov.,n the road and often into oncomingtrafic, which translates to a "skill sho!' andmeans even more boosl

And in dre new event mode *Trafrc

Anac\" playen earn bank by checking asmuch trafic as they can and ffghting fteclock as time is extended with each crash,Tra.ffic checking is also an improvement onthe series. Rear-ending a car used to simplymean a player crashed.

Opponenb' artificial intelligence has alsobeen improved, making it tougher to takethem down and they're befter at taking theplayer off the road. This makes it so muchrnore meaningfr when I hunt them downand get a "Revenge takedowr\" which iswhat this new game is all about This game ismore challenging, especially in Crash mode,where the set-ups axe much more complex.The main strength of "Rwenge" is drat itmakes success so much more

Any critcisms I could make of this gameare so minor they're not wortr mendoninghere. OnIy those who avoid driving gameslike the plague and those whq hate frrnshould miss this game.

T. Raumschmierelirzkrieg Pop

I love synthesizers. It's not for theirability to emulate other musical instu-ments (often poorly). What I really likeabout synthesizers, and electronicallygen-erated sound in gened is the abilif tocrea.te the most biza-rre, convoluted andjust plain noisy sounds imaginable. For-t,nately, I am not alone in this love affairwith electronic noise.

T. Raumschmiere (aka Marco Haas)obviously shares this love. The songs onBlitzkrieg Pol showcase his passion formanipulating sound for ib own sake.

"All Systems Go," is fuzzed-out bassriffs, pulsing kick drum and a minor keymelody that bumps, clicks and shrttersits way in and around the beat. Anotherstandou! "Patridio!" feahres a hauntingpiano line that floats over a barren land-scape of static and mechanized hum. Itbrings to mind an apocalyptic vision of aworld in which all the people are gone,leaving only the machines *rey built"slowly running donn, as a fading remind-er of a once-great civilzation.

About half of the lacks on BlilzkriegPop conbin vocals, and most of the timethis works. On '3 Minute Happiness,"guest vocalist Judith Juillerads detachedsing-speak compliments a dark, broodingsoundhack. "Diving in Whiskey" feanu-ing vocal and lyrical contributions fromEllen Allien, works in much the samewa1 the cool vocal delivery balanced bya wa.rm stoFsta.rt bass line.

Haas lends his own voice to the tidetrack and "Sick l,ike Me." Both hacks fea-ture lots of healy g"it- .ifi" and organic-sounding drums. These hacks aren't bad,but just don't match up to those previ-ously mentioned.

*Sick Like Me," especially the ffrst fewbars, could be a Nine Inch Nails h:ne.'Blibkrieg Pop," with its opening line,"hen hen hey, there's nothing Ieft to say"left me wondering, "Well then, why sayit?"

These are minor issues, really. Com-pared wlth some of the other electronic/induskial groups out there, these lp-ics could be considered poetry. Haas isskilled at what he does and it shows.

The women's volleyball team playednine games in two matches last weekend atdre Auraria Evenb Center.

The Roadnrmen won both contesbagainst Rocky Mountain Athletic Confer-ence opponents and carried their season-high win seeak to four games. The 'Runners

are now &5 overall and 42 in the RMAC.The ffrst match, against Colorado School

of Mines, took place on Friday evening Sept.23. By the end of the nigbt, senior outsidehiner Sheena Mclaughlin had a career-highof 24 kills. Meko came away with scores of3G26, 31-29, 3U32, 3G22.

Following Mebo's wins in the ffnt tr'voganes vs. Colorado School of Mines, the'Runners started off widr a 2520 lead ln thethird. Mines closed in on Meho, narrowingthe gap to 2G25. With a rally from a 2926deficil the Oredlggers [ed the Runners 29-29. The teams ued again at 3G30. In theend, Mines scored two consecutive points tocome away with their lone win.

"We did a really good job of regainingcomposure (after game 3) and taking careof business," said head coach Debbie Hen-dricks.

Following Mcl,aughlin's lead, StefarrleAllison also scored a career-high 24 kills in -

the next match against Regis. Allison hadffve kills in the deciding fifth garne to leadMeho to a 3G13, 3G22, 2830, lFll victoryover Regis on Saturday evening, Sept 24.The 'Runners played strong in the first twogames, but when Regis upped the ante ingame three, the Rangen came out ahead.

"We overlooked (R"gl") "

Iittle andlet up in the third game," said SheenaMclaughlin. "We became passive, and notas agressive."

Mebo lost their momentum during

game three. Downby 10, the Roadrun-ner women tooka timeout in orderto refocus. Metrocame back from thetimeout and ralliedwith junior liberoBreezy Tuck serv-ing. The Roadrun-ners ultimately lostthe game by twopoints.

Men's soccersetting pocefor conference

By Keith FranklincfranklT@mscd.edu

The Metro men's soccer team was onthe road last weekend and won both of theirgames.

The Roadrunners beat the Universityof Colorado-Colorado Springs on FridaySep. 23 by the score of 2-1. It was their ffrstroad game of the season and their fint nightgame.

The 'Rururers went to Pueblo Sundayto play Colorado State Univenity-Pueblo.Meho won 31.

They certainly were not routs, but, in-stead, were hard fought bafiles. The com-petition now knows what Meho is and theyknow which playen to look for to do thedirty work.

"They are doing a nice job of identifr-ing our key players and clamping down onthem," head coach Ken Parsons said.

So what makes Metro so good?With half of the season behind them, it's

a good time to hke a look at where Metrostards against the rest of the Rocky Moun-tain Athletic Conference. They are in secondplace behind Fort kwis-but just barely.Fort Lewis beat Meho in their ffnt meetingearlier in the season at Auraria Field.

Metro ranla ffrst in a number of oflen-sive categories. They are ffrst in shots ongoal with 21.86 per game. They are 6rst inpoinb per game with 9.29. Points are a com-bination of goals and assists with one pointfor each. Metro is tied for ffrst place withFort lrwis in goals per game at 3.14. Theylead the conference in assists per game with3.00.

Meho also leads the league in cornerkicks taken. This is a key statistic because itmeans the 'Runners took a shot that was deflected by the goalkeeper or another defen-sive player out of the backline. ln essence,these are near misses.

Defensiveh Metro ranks No. 3 in goa.lsagainst and No. 6 (of 7) in saves. How is itthat they are so far behind ln saves whenthey are doing so well in not allowing goals?It's becarse the defenden don't allow theball to get to the 'keeper very often.

ln the middle of the ffeld is where theRoadrunners can improve the most. Theylead the league in yellow erds, which areissued for hard fouls where a player is moreIikely to be injured.

As it now stands, the Metro men are incomplete control of their own destiny. Theyhave won every conference game with theexception of one. They lost to Fort Lewis,but the Skyhawla tied against the ColoradoSchool of Mines on Friday Sep. 23. SinceMetro has bealen Mines once already thisseason it puts pressure on Fort Lewis to winthe ffnal game of the season when they willface Metro again. Should Meko win the re-mainder of its conference games and beatFort kwis the tearn would be the confer-ence champiors.

Meho's next three games are at home.They play again at I p.m. on Friday Sep.30 aSainst rmdefeated, nationally rankedNo. 11 West Texas A&M. Then. thev faceWestrnirster College at noon on SundayOcL 2, and Colorado Christian Universityat 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday Oct 4. Of the threegames, only CCU is ln the Roclry MountainAtl etic Conference.

Meho has lost only twice this season. Tothe No. 5 team in the nation and once tothe No. 7 tearn, as of the most recent na-tional polls. Nothing to be ashamed of. Met-ro looks to pounce on No. 1l West TexasA&M when they square off on Friday.

In the ffvekilometer course on SaUrrdaySepL 24, the women of Meho's

cross counhy team laced uo and raced tofifth place overall in the Coiorado CollegeInvitafional.

The CC campus hosted seven teams,with 70 women ffnishing the race.

After getting off to a quick starl fresh-man Meagan Martinez led the way for theRoadrunners.

Martinez held off competition and wasseventh halfiaray through tlre race. She ffn-ished with an overall time of 24:A6, finishingeighth ln the large ffeld of runners.

Runners crossed grass and hard-packedgavel Fails. The racers also found them-selves running up, and down, a large hill.

'I didn't loow what to expec!" Marti-nez said. 'This was our ffrst long course."

With a time of 25:47, sophomore,JessicaFlackbart ffnished 23d overall at MonumentPark in Colorado Springs.

With this young team, Hackbart said she

still feels they are improving."A lot of us haven't rrm in a while, but

we are showing a lot of potential," Hackbartsaid.

Coach Julian, who was unable to makethe meel handed the reins to Sean and Rebekah Nesbiu, as they coached *re girls to119 points overall, one point short of tyingwith Mesa for fourth.

Next month, the 'Rurmers will race iniheir conference and regional champion-ships, and the teamrnates feel the challengesthey face are only going to help build a$ronger rcam.

Hackbafi said that the best part of racingis the adrenaline rush of the competition.

Roudrunners slop rivulRegis, crush CCU l0-0Metro women reach milestone47 -garne conference win streak

By Jeremy Johnsonjjohn309@mscd.edu

The Meto women's soccer team heldon to ib No. I ranking and advanced to aperfect l0{ record last week, in a series thatbegan last Wednesday with a clutch 1{ winover No. 7 Regis Univenity.

There has always been an exciting rivalrybetweeu the Roadrunnen and the Ralgers(Gl, 4l RMAC). The match Wednesdaywas no exception. The two teams played90 minutes of very physical, and at timesverbal, soccer,

"It was a huge win," junior midffelderBrooke Kiefer said. "Every time we play Regis we have to get up for iL"

Kiefer scored the only goal of the gameoff of a free kick by senior defensive backKD/stat Kilbey.

With three Roadnnnen in front of thegoal, Kiefer said the goalkeeper came outto make the challenge and that was when"the ball went off some Daxt of mv bodvand went in.-

The goal was just a mafrer of time, asMeho came out in their typical second-halfnrn-andArm fashion, missing several scoringopportunities. A third of the way throughthe second half, Metro's proliffc scorer, ju-nior forward Kylee Hanavan, drilled a balloff the crossbars for the near goal. Twentyminutes later, Kiefer scored her goal.

"You never know with Regis; you justknow it's gorqg b be a banle" head coachDanny Sanchez said.

"We played mudr beter and more com-posed in the second half," Sanchez said. "Wesetled down and created some chances."

The Roadnmner defense held stong yetagaiq shuuing down a ffrst-half barrage ofshob and oppor nities by Regis.

The shutout w-as the seventh of the sea-son.

The 'Rrmnen also shut out ColoradoChristian University on Friday for theireighth blank of the year.

"I think tlis is the ffrst time we've beenput under a lot of pressure," senior defen-sive back Stephanie houty said. "We hadto suck it up in the second half and pulltogether."

The senior duo of Krystal Kilbey andhouty, along with freshman Mcole Citoand Jamie Gwirmer, have helped red shirtfreshman Rarhel Zolher give up only threegoals this season.

"This is a game we've been looking for-ward to all season," Kiefer said. "It s a garnewe're going to look forward to for the rest ofthe season. We're gonna see them a lot"

The weekend went a litde easier for the'Runners as they defeated CSU-Pueblo onFriday, Gl, in their ffnt road game.

Meho then traveled to Iakewood, wherethey ran over Colorado Christjan in a lO0landdide-

"lt was good after a big game onWednesday to come out and play well andwin in our first road game of the year," San-chez said.

Senior forward and captain Amy I*idrli-ter scored two goals for Metro and Hanavantallied a goal and two assists in &re game.The CSU-Pueblo Thunderwolves scoredfive minutes into the second half.

It was lust 6re drird goal given up byMeho this season.

Hanavan scored a hat trick in Srmday'smatch in Iakewood against Christian. Hana-van improved her teamJeading goal countto nine, tying her with Anne Ormrod.

Ormrod added a goal against ColoradoChristian for her ninth of the season.

Kira Sharp, known for her tough teamplay as a commanding Roadnmner mid-fielder, scored twice Sunday for her ffrstgoals of the season.
