Although Metro presidential finalist

Stephen lordan has already come to campus,

some members of the college community are

stil l upset with the process by rvhich he rvas

chosen.In a meeting lfarch 28, a group of around

20 Metro faculty members met to discusslhe i r concerns wi th the se lec l ion process.

fohn Schmidt, chair of .N4etro's Council of

Chairs who directed theemergency meeting,saidhe and faculty memberswere most bothered byhow rushed the wholeprocess was and thatonly one finalist wasannounced.

there's only one humanbeing in the entireUnited States who meets the board's criteria

for president of Metro is the number oneproblem," Schmidt said.

Bruce Benson, chair ol Metro's Board ofTrustees, said it's a natiorral trend and has

been a tradition in Colorado to announce

only one finalist for president of a college.

He noted that both Judith Albino and Betsy

Hoffinan were announcecl as solo finalists

before being appointed as presidents at the

University of Colorado.Schmidt said he doesn't believe it 's a

national or Colorado trend, saying that rvhen

the most recent presidents at Colorado State

Universit,v, Adams State and Fort Lewis were

announced as finalists, at least three other

finalists lvere also named.

Benson said the board also decided to

choose Iordan as a solo finalist because it

didn't want to choose three finalists, for

example, and have trvo have to go back home

as losers, and that they likely wouldn't come

in the first place."The quality of people that we looked at,"

he said, "if we invited all of those people to

come, they would not have come."

Scholars discuss definitioh, RTD bus pass

state of academic freedom $Z it approvedprice to jump

by students

From left: Metro political science professor Norman Provizea UCD philosophy professor Can-dice Shelby, Metro history professor Dolph Grundman, UCD Graduate School professor Gabrieltrbplan, Metro Political Scienct professor Amy Eckert and Metro Human Performance Sport andkisure Studies chair Marc Rabinoff discuss the state of academic freedom,

discussing their subject, but they should becarefrrl not to introduce into their teachingcontroversial matter which has no relation totheir subject."

Going back in time, UCD philosophyprofessor Candice Shelby outlined the idea ofacademic freedom rooted in Ancient Greece,and gave an example of Socrates, who wasoften attacked for teaching strange thingsto others.

Then, she cited Mill's concept of 'despo-

tism over the mind," and his idea that publiceducation can become dangerous if regulatedby the state.

'Academic freedom has to be protected

from threats, whether they come from theinstitution, state omce, or the publid' saidAmy Eckert, a political science instructor atMetro. 'It is important because of the socialrole of the university."

She also stressed the fact that the aca-demic setting is crucial to society, in whichknowledge is developed and assimilated.

Speaking of threats, Eckert gave anexample of the American Council of Tiusteesand Alumni, an organization co-founded byLvnne Chenev in 1995.

Auraria students are again being asked tovote on extending the RTD bus pass with a$2 increase from the price students paid thisschool year.

On April 5 and 6, students at Metro, CCDand UCD will have to I/ote to approve or notapprove a supplemental fee of $24 to contin-ue the discounted RTD bus service throughAugust of 2006.

Currently, each student is paying roughly$22 per semester for local, limited, expressand regional bus service, ftee light rail serviceand discounted SkyRide tickets.

According to RTD spokesman Scott Reed,the rate will increase for 2OO5-2006 by $2with the approval of the student vote.

The current contract the campus haswith RTD says that RTD cannot charge morethan 7.5 percent of the previous year's rate, orno more than $24.

RTD is currently charging the school$1,700,055, which the Auraria board thendivides by the number of students to getthe get the student fee. If students vote tocontinue service, the school will be charged$t,827,559.

"It is the best bus program in the universein terms of pricing and service," said WilliamSimmons, Chief Iustice of the StudentAdvisory Committee to the Auraria Board.'We are glad it is going to a student vote, andare encouraging everyone to vote."

Without a discount, comparable bus andlight rail services would cost over $230 permonth.

RTD has estimated the actual cost of thisprogram to be around $2,293,254, whichaccording to Reed, puts them at a net lossof $593,199, and has also sparked debateabout raising the cost considerably when therate cap expires at the end of the 2005-2006school year.

The campus will have three separate vot-ing stations for the different schools as wellas ballot boxes around the food court of theTivoli, said Simmons. Metro students canvote at the Central Classroom, CCD studentsat the South Classroom and UCD studentswill vote in the North Classroom.

' Panel warns thatacademic freedomneeds protection,

, but also has limitsby Svetlana GuinevaThe Metrooolitan

What is academic freedom? Is it threat-ened in today's political climate? How shouldit be protected in the classrooms?

Those were the main questions raisedduring a discussion on academic freedomamong five scholars March 16 in the TivoliTurnhalle.

During the discussion, none of the pan-elists ever mentioned the name of embatdedCU professor Ward Churchill. Churchill hascome under 6re for a controversial essayabout the 9/l I attacks in 2001.

Metro political science professor NormanProvizer, who moderated opened the discus-sion saying that only issues of concern aboutacademic freedom would be discussed andnot specific pmple.

The panelists, who were facultymembers frorn Metro and UCD, madeindividual presentations prirnarily ba3ed onthe Statement of Principles on AcademicFreedom and Tenure from 1940, issued bythe Association of American Colleges andUniversities.

In the statement. academic freedomis defined as 'full freedom in research andin the publication of the results...Teachersare entitled to freedom in the classroom in

Fee recommendationsStudent fee board

- deliberated budgetin closed meetingsby Clayton WoullardThe Metropolitan

Metro's Student Affairs Board has votedon its recommendations for how approxi-mately $2 million in student fees should beallocated to student services.

In the its regular weekly meeting March29, the SAB voted to recommend $2,013,900in student affairs fees be allocated for the2005-2006 school year to 17 services for stu-dents including Student Activities, StudentGovernment Assembly, Campus Recreationand Center for the Visual Arts.

The student affairs fee is collected everysemester from students. The SAB only makesrecommendations for how the fee moneyshould be allocated, but the ultimate deci-sion is up to the president's cabinet and theboard of trustees.

The highest increase in funding fromthe previous year for a program was l0 per-cent for Student Activities, which received$428,887, a $a0,000 increase from this schoolyear's allocation.

The SAB deliberated for two meetings

on March 15 and March 29 to discuss howmuch of an increase programs should receiveand why. Both meetings were closed to tlrepublic, which The Metropolinn challenged asa violation of Colorado's Open Meetings lawin a meeting March 8, at which time the SABinitially planned to start deliberations,

members of the SAB said in the meeting thatthey believe the meetings should be openbut that the SAB bylaws state that budgetdeliberations must be closed. The bylawsalso stipulate that the SAB cannot change thebylaws until the end of the school year.

correctionsIn the March 17 issre of The Metropoli-

tan, an article on the cover about how thesolo finalist for Metro president, Stephen

Jordan, was chosen said the board of trust-ees can not appoint fordan as president un-til 2l days after he's announced as finalist,or April l, according to state law. Revisedstate law says a board can not make a deci-sion regarding a finalist until 14 days after.

Also in the March l7 issue, a stor)' onpage 5 about SGA elections should havesaid that elected positions for the SGA inthe fall are: president, vice president, 15senators, two SACAB representatives, anda student trustee.

SGA supports solo finalistwith it, so much as I feel that the incomingmembers (of next year's SGA) should have aclean slate when it comes to dealing with Dr.Iordani vice president of communicationsBeth Ott said.

The board of trustees announced lordanas the solo finalist for president of MetroMarch 11. fordan came to campus the fol-lowing week on March 14 during whichmembers of the college community had theopportunity to interview him.

SGA Attomey General William Saffordsaid he considered the process to have beencarried out in a rushed manner, leaving litdetime between the board's announcement andthe interviews conducted on campus,

"I know there are some opposing viewsabout the process that the board of trusteestook in order to bring Dr. Stephen fordan tocampuf Candace Gill said in her March 17

report. "Dr. fordan may not firlfill all of theideal requirements that each and every indi-vidual wants and is seeking for this campus."

This show of support for |ordan from theSGA could be considered to be repentancefor what student trustee Stephen Hay calledan "ambushing and shockingl of the boardthe day before at a special board meeting.

Four students, including Ott, Safford, andAlan FranHin. SGA Election CommissionPresident, showed up at the morning meetingin order to push their concerns about ]ordanand the process of the Board.

Following the student interview sessionwith Jordan on March 14, Hay announcedthat he would be holding a 30-minutefeedback period in the Tivoli MulticulturalLounge immediately after the session, but noone showed up.

Panel: Professor says tenure doesn't mean academic freedomforn BtlELm page3

Defined as a non-profit educationalorganization, what it actually does is blacklistliberal academics who make anti-Americancomments, she said.

'The ongoing political situation is athreat to academic freedomi Eckert said,referring to the ACIA, which considered col-lege and university professo$ "the weak linkin America's response to the attack (9/1 I ).'

Academic freedom, however, could beperceived simply as defending the authorityof those who have demonstrated knowledge,said Dolph Grundman, a history professor atMetro.

'Your academic freedom lays in theexpertise on your discipline," he said. "Itcould be restricted by your ability to try toteach the truth."

Gabriel Kaplan, an assistant professor atthe UCD Graduate School of Public Affairs,said that within an employment contract

employees don't have unlimited freedom,mosdy because colleges and universities areembedded in the market place,

He adhered to the conditions listed in theStatement from 1940 as when orofessors areobligated to differentiate themselves ftom theeducational institution they work for.

"Outside the classroom, professors dohave the obligation to stress they do notspealc for the institution, but as private citi-zens," Kaplan said.

Often, there is an impression among thepublic and academia that tenure serves toprotect radical or controversial statementsby professors.

"Tenure is an award, a privilege to beearned by faculty," said Marc Rabinoff, Metroprofessor of human performance and sport."Tenure is not a job for life, it could be termi-nated by the institution for various reasons."

Many.years of evaluation by dozens of

people are necessary to ensure the qualifica-tion of the candidate for tenured position,he said-

But under the ongoing political situation,academic freedom is something all teachersshould be concerned with, especially thosewho are doing research on controversialissues, Eckert said.

The core issues of any discipline shouldbe addressed in the classroom without thefear that students or outsiders are monitor-ing the teacher's work, she said.

"If we censor ourselves, we fail ourstudents and ourselvesj' Shelby said."Controversial topics are uacdy the ones totalk about because our students are not goingto hear them anywhere else."

For pedagogical reasons, professorsshould make provocative statements, andwell-determined discussion would help stu-dents form their own views, Shelby said.

PROCESS: Some students, faculty say processwas too rushed, interviews were too structured

fiorn PRoCESISon oonerWashington University in Cheney Wash., wasnamed as the solo finalist for Metro's post ofpermanent president March 1 I in a specialboard of trustees meeting, where it was alsoannounced that he would be visiting campusMarch 15 for interviews with the collegecommunity.

Jordan was chosen out of about l0 can-didates recomrnended to the board by thepresidential search advisory committee, whoreceived about 200 applications.

The presidential search process startedwhen former president Sheila Kaplanresigped in June 2003. Since then, RayKieft-who applied for the post last Augustand withdrew his bid in February-hasserved as interirn president.

Will Safford, attorney general of Metro'sStudent Government Assembly, said he wasalso upset with the process, especially howquicHy Iordan was chosen as the finalist.Safford said he was told Jordan's name wasntformally given to the presidential searchadvisory committee until March 10.

"I would like to see the board of trusteestake us through a process that is ethicallysound," said Safford, who had been an ardentsupporter of Kieft for the permanent posi-tion.

John Buechner, chair of the committeeand president emeritus of CU, said March14 that Jordan formally applied the week ofthe announcement. He also said that he and)ordan, who used to work together, talked onthe phone and Buechner said Jordan was ref-erence-checked, as is standard when seleaing

candidates.Safford also criticized the interviews

held March 15 as being very structured andcontrolled.

Schmi& said he and other faculty mem-bers felt embarrassed by the presence of atrustee at each session, and that was on€reason attendance was low. That lordan wasthe only candidate announced could havesent a message to people that everything wasa done deal, deterring people from showingup, he said.

Metro junior Alan Franklin, who attend-ed the interview session for students, said hefelt attendance was low because of the brieftime betr,veen when fordan was announcedas finalist and when he came to campus.He also said each interview session was only50 minutes, giving members of the collegecommunity a brief window to ask Jordanquestions.

"I thought it was important enough toditch a class, but I can't expect that of everystudent who would have been interested,"Franklin said.

Benson said one of the reasons Iordanwas brought to campus the week followingthe announcement was because faculty andstudents would have been upset if the inter-views were held the following week, duringSpring Break. If it were done the followingweek, the board might again be criticizedfor taking too long, a criticism that has beenlodged at the board in the past about thesearch process.

"Whatever process we're going to use,some people arent going to like it," he said."Thatl always how it goes."

fiorn FEESion pee3Metro's attomey Lee Combs stated in an

e-mail to the SAB that the board does nothave to open its meeting to the public, basedon his interpretation of the Colorado law,claiming that since the board is an adminis-trative, advisory board, and not a governingone.

The Metropolitan asserts that becaus€ t}reSAB discusses public money, and because itis an advisory board that makes decisions,even if they are recommendations, that theboard is not orempt from Coloradot OpenMeetings laws.

The SAB did conduct its voting in publicbecause the bylaws do not state that votingmust be done behind closed doors.

According to Ott, and confirmed byGlotzbach, during deliberations, the ser-vices that received the most debate wereStudent Activities, the Auraria Child CareCenter, Student Media (formerly StudentPublications) and the Center for the VisualArts, and all had to be tabled at least once.

Because the SAB only had $73,000 inincreases to give, they debated whether theycould give the $67,218 increase StudentActivities had requested, and some memberswere also not happy with the amount of thefees that go towards administrators' salaries.

The Child Care Center was a point ofcontention because the department hadasked for a $30,000 increase from this year

because of the loss of a grant of the sameamount. However, again members said thatmay not leave enough money for otherdepartments.

The amount for Student Media was ques-tioned after some members, according to Ott,said they either did not think the departmentreached enough students, questioned whyadministrators were needed and that theydid not like the quality of the newspaper.

Throughout, members questioned howmany students a department served, howrnuch administrators were paid out of thatstudent fee money and what was the qualityof the service.

There was debate about CVA and wheth-er it reached enough studens and if studentseven knew it existed.

Ott said the nature of the discussionsbothered her because she said they're pre-dominandy based on pmplet feelings abouta particular program and not about any con-crete factual data.

"The process needs to be changed. Moreinformation needs to be gathered," she said."I'd love to see some sort of uniform processto look at how many students were servedand how many students know the serviceexists."

The SABt next meeting is slated for 3:30 p.m. April 19 in Tivoli Room 329 and arrypossible changes to the SAB bylaws will bediscussed.

her brain dead existing only due to lifesupport. Terry Schiavo's death began morethan 15 years ago when she attempted tosurvive on a liquid diet and throw up all ofher meals (ABC News).

Yes, Terry Schiavo had bulimia. Sheweighed ll0 pounds or less and had stoppedmenstruating.

In February of I 990, Schiavo had a cardiacarrest due to an extreme drop in her blood'spotassium level directly associated with herbulimia.

Now, money won in a malpractice suitis gone, spent on treatnents attempting torehabilitate Schiavo, and her husband wouldIike her to be removed from life support, hisright as her legal surrogate.

Alas, in charges the Republican ParryGmrge W. "Pro-Life" King of the DeathPenalty (what with 152 executions underhis belt from Ti:xas alone) and Jeb Bushleading the attack, demanding that the stateand federal government can revoke the legalrights of Schiavo's husband in order to prove

a point about abortion. Coming in with themis TerryRandall, head of Operation Rescue, ananti-abortion group that bombs clinics. Thedebates have been ioud, long, and nasty. Thisis not about Terry Schiavo, though. This is notabout life. This is about power.

After all, if the Bush family and friendswere really in this for life, they would befighting to end the devastating diseasethat caused Schiavo's condition, her eatingdisorder. Eating disorders are prevalent inseven million women and girls in the United

"\Momen dying of selfstarvation are easy to ignorebecause they are withering

quietly and paittfully, until ofcourse theY become brain dead

and a politically convenientmartyr, then and only then

Republicans care. D

States according to the National EatingDisorders Association (NEDA).

NEDA studies report that 807o of womenare unhappy with their bodies, 5lolo of girlsages 9-10 want to be on diets, and 190;6 ormore of college students are bulimic. EatingDisorder Info studies show that 1/2 of femalesages 18-25 would rather be run over by atruck than considered fat, 2/3 would prefer tobe "mean or stupid". That is tragic, and all thepoliticians involved in the Schiavo case shouldbe learning from this sad story working to

ensure that Terry Schiavo is the last woman todie trying to be beautifirl.

However, the cause of eating disordersis politically beneficial to George Bush,Terry Randall, and their crew. When womenare barraged by advertising, shot down bybosses, denied human contact, and treatedhorribly for not fitting an ideal image, theywill be more consumed with trying to lookgood than their rights and freedoms. Whenwomen believe that their primary purpose isto be attractive bodies for men to desire andimpregnate, they wot't fight having theirautonomy denied.

Women willing to die to be pretty willnot be demanding equal pay for equal work,because they feel they are not worth it.Women believing their sole purpose in life isto be a body for men will not fight off attackson their basic human right of affordableabortion on demand without apology, as theydo not claim ownership over their own bodies.Women dying of self starvation are easlr toignore because they are withering quiedy andpainfu[y, until of course they become braindead and a politically convenient martyr, thenand only then Republicans care.

Let Schiavo's life end in peace with herhusband, give the woman that much dignity.Then let Terry Schiavo leave a mark on us,let her fill us with a dedication to ensurethan never again will another girl grow upbelieving she is too fat to be loved and shouidrisk her life to change her body. Let us makethe death of one woman fill us with a passionto make the lives of millions of women better.I kow I'm up for it.

is helping those over the age of 65, becauseSocial Security provides for 90% of their totalincome.

President Bush has stated that SocialSecurity will not change for anyone bornbefore 1950. But, for the younger generations,Social Security needs to be fixed. The currentpay-as-you-go system will not work. In 1950,there were 16 workers to support every I ben-eficiary of Social Securiry

Today, only 3.3 workers are supportingevery I beneficiary of Social Security. Peopletoday are living longer, and when the youngergeneration turns 65, statistics show that therewill be only 2 workers supporting each ben-

eficiary. Those who are 30 years old will facea 27Vo benefrt ant when they reach retirementage. All stats come ftom White House infocuson social security.

According to the Social Security report,the money flow of Social Security will runin the red by 2017 , and the trust fund itselfwill be 'exhausted n 2041: Only a large tax

"According to the SocialSecurity report, the moneyflow of Social Securitv willrun in the red by 20l7,andthe trust fund itself will be

increase would solve the problem facingSocial Securiry but it won't fix the problem,With baby boomers reaching retirement age,such as my parents, the payouts will becomemore like a IOUs and it won't be coming fromyour personal accounts.

Those who are my age, in their earlytwenties, are, according to the Social SecurityAdministration, being promised benefits thatare higher than seniors who are retiring today.

President Bush wants to save Social Securityfor those ofus, i.e. college age, that are payinginto a system that we will not see the benefitsof. If the payroll tax were to be increased itwould only hurt workers and the harm theeconomic status of our country, because thesystem will go bankrupt.

Voluntary Personal Retirement Accountsare a good way for people to put their moneyinto an account that the government and thestock market cannot touch. The PersonalRetirement Account will allow younger work-ers to build a "nest egg" for their future retire-ment. This will give control to those whoown tle accounts and allow them to pass themoney on to loved ones.

The great thingabout Personal RetirementAccounts is that they will be protected ftommarket swings, and tle money put into theaccount will stay in the account, unless oth-erwise removed by the account holder.

If nothing is done to rescue Social Security,younger workers will suffer. The money that Iand many other 20 -year- olds are puttinginto the system, we will ,most likely, never see,unless congress acts to 6x the system.

In the wake of Columbine, morepeople have given more attention to theissues of teenage violence, access to guns,and violence in the media and on theInternet.

Has this added attention done anygood? By all accounts, no.

Donald R. Galio, who in 2001 edited"On the fringe," a collection of short sto-ries dealing with teenagers who are differ-ent from their more popular peers, says inhis introduction to the book that, "sinceColumbine, life for oddball students inmiddle schools and high schools acrossthe nation has become worse, not better."

Gallo says that "few people havelooked at the feelings of alienation, frus-

tration, hurtand anger feltby teenage stu-dents whomthe rest of theschool com-munity callsweirilos, geek,nerds, freak,faggots andworse."

{t /&z>* +The true 'failure' of feminism is that far too many women have forgotten that their "great

lives" came at a huge cost to the many brave women who fought to give them what they nowtake for granted.

fane wakes up in the morning in her home, a home that she owns because a bunch ofno-good, crazy ferninists fought to give a woman the right to own and inherit property.

On her way to work, Jane stops at a coffee shop, where she drops her drange into a canfor an organization collecting donations for breast cancer research. This organization existsthanks to some radical feminists who worked to bring woment health issues to the main-strearn public.

On the wall behind her desk is the diploma Jane earned from an Ivy league school, whichshe was able to attend because some man-hating feminists fought for women's access to insti-tutions of higher education.

When lane graduated from college, she became an investment banl<er--not a nurs€, orschool teacher or secretary--all because some silly feminists worked to give women moreoptions,

At work,lane never worries about one ofher male colleagues making advances or tJreat-ening her sexually, all because those traditional-family-ruining feminisa pushed hard for lawspunishing sexual harassment in the workplace.

ln the evening, fane picks her daughter up from basketball practice. Her daughter enjoyssports and is able to play on her high school tearn because some crazy feminists thought thatwomenb sports teams should receive the same federal funding as the men's and passed Titlex.

Tomorrow, fane is planning on voting in the local election. But lane isnl thinking oftheferninists who fought for so many years to give women that right, she is thinking about howshe is going to vote for tlle conservative white man, because he is the one who really under-stands Jane's values and concerns.

Fn,truREsby Maya SalamThe Metrooolitan

Since Sept. ll, 2001, Americans have becomeincreasingly conscious of the turmoil occurring in the MiddleEast. And while some conflicts are new, like the war in Iraq,others have ensued for over a century. The fight over landbetween Israelis and Palestinians has been raging since the latel9e century and the conflict is worse than ever today.

"It has entered the 21't century with greater violence,"said Dr. Robert Hazan, Metro political science chair andprofessor, at a discussion about Israeli/Palestinian relationsand the Middle East peace process on Marctr 17. If there wasa Palestinian state, there would not be an Israeli/ Palestinianstruggle, Hazan said.

Dr. Hazan, who has a Ph.D. in international relationsfrom the University of Denver, talked to a group ofapproximatd 50 Auraria campus students at the TivoliCenter about why this area of the Middle East has beenlocked in a continuous conflict for so long, and why it issuch a difficult conflict to resolve.

Israelis are having a very complicated time withdrawingfrom the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, said Hazan, WithIsrael occupying this land it would be a huge undertaking torelocate all these citizens back into Israel itself, he said.

The West Bank, a territory west of the Jordan River, wasformerly part of Palestine and has been occupied by hraelsince the Six-Day War of 1967. Since mid- 1994, limitedPalestinian self-rule has existed in portions of the West Bank,Israel regards this area as Jewish territory. The boundary linebetween Israel proper and the West Bank was determined bythe cease-fre talks in 1949 and is often called the'Green Linel

The Gaza Strip, which is on the Mediterranean Seaadjoining Egypt and Israel, is in what was formerly southwestPalestine. The Gaza Strip has the highest density of poverty onearth, Hazan said. The Gaza Strip is a densely populated regioninhabited primarily by Palestinian refugees; the majority live inlarge, overcrowded refugee camps.

'Just look at the standards of living," Hazan said. "It'svery bad." Poverry mental health, despair and destitution aredevastating problerns here, he said,

Metro professor explores roots, future ofMiddle East struggle

During the 1970s and 1980s the Israeli governmentappropriated land to build a number of Israeli settlementsin order to strengthen their presence in the Gaza Strip.Res€ntment stemming from Israeli occupation, a weakeconomy and a large refugee population made the regiona center for Palestinian activism and political unrest. Riots,demonstrations, and violent confrontations between Israelisand Palestinians developed into a Palestinian uprising, or'intifada,' which began in the Gaza Strip in 1987 and spread

quickly to the West Bank.'You can't expect people to live for 38 years under

occupation without resorting to violencel Hazan said. It canonly end in very violent backlashes, he said.

It is the people's suffering and struggle in these occupiedterritories that Hazan wanted to emphasize. He showed theaudience a documentary called, "Courage Along the Divide,"filmed in Israel in 1987 byVictor Schonfeld. The documentaryincluded interviews with all kinds of Israelis and Palestinians,along with street scenes and demonstrations. lt presented theproblems of the occupied territories, Palestinian statehood,treatment of Palestinians in Israel and terrorism.

In the film, a Palestinian woman named Mary who lives inan occupied territorF asks, "Who is responsible for us?" Whyshould we let them affect our lives like this, she said. 'I don'twant my people looked at and treated like monkeys."

The documentary showed how for young Palestinians,Israeli rule is all they know, and that without identificationcards, it is as though they do not even exist.

The situation has only gotten worse in the 18 years sincethe film was made, Hazan said. The kids in film, in the WestBank, are possibly today's suicide bombers, he said. "If there isno Palestinian state in the near future, then the youth are goingto reiect the occupation forcefully."

A member of the audience asked Hazan if it would bepossible for Israelis living in the West Bank and Gaza Strip tostay and live in their communities even if the land is returnedto the Palestinians. Hazan said that it is a solution that couldnever actually work.

*I don't think ultra-nationalist Israelis settled in Palestinewould carry a Palestinian passport,' he said,'The degreeof hatred is so intense. The emotional, almost irrational,attachment to the land is their ideology. They think that historFhas cheated them because that should have been the land of theZionists," he said. It is truly a scramble for territorial control,not for natural resources, and the social, economic and legalsituation only makes matters worse. About 3,500 Israelis and1,500 Palestinians have died between September 2fi)4 andFebruary 2005, and still neither side is sure who is winning,Hazan said.

But there is hope for a futwe change now that YasserArafat, the leader of the Palestinian Liberation Organization,has died. The new leadership among Palestinians will try tomake a move towards peace, Hazan said. He also said thatit is important for the United States to engage itself in thepeace process, but that the war in lraq is not setting the rightprinciples. More violence in these already intense areas is notneeded, he said. What is needed is progress in the direction offorming a separate Palestinian state.

"The quicker Israel withdraws, the better the chance forpeace," Hazan said.

When chosen, the 22-year-old woman is grateful to have ajob in wartime. She is nervous and excited to start her careeras one of the era's most high-powered assistants. The F0hrer iscalm and patient with Junge and she quickly assumes her roleas a faithful employee and confidant.

Only after she watches the Fthrer's lifeless body beingcarried up to a flame-engulfed grave does she realize thatremaining in the bunker would be a prolonged sort of suicide.

After the film ends, "Downfall" takes a documentaryapproach by following up on the main characters. The reallunge is interviewed briefly and explains how she was generallynaive to the massive amount of deaths that occurred underHitler. She did not cite this as an excuse for her collaborationwith the Nazi party. To the contrary, she states that being

He didn t care for cigarette smoke, he preferred eatingvegetarian meals, and he enjoyed taking care of his loyal dogBlondi. Before you find yourself relating too closely to themain character in the 6lm "Downfall," brace yourself. Theseare descriptions of Adolf Hitler.

Directed by Oliver Hirschbiegel, "Downfall" shows Hitlerand his entourage's last days in their bunker in Berlin. Thefrlm contrasts the brutality of the war with the dysfunctionaldomestic situations that occurred within Hitler's inner circle.The wartime horror interlays with the relationships betweenHider's entourage in a compelling manner.

"Downfall" is the first German attempt to tackle abiography of Hitlert life since 1956's "Der Letzte Akt" (TheLast Act), directed by G.W Pabst, "The Last Act" was toldfrom the point of view of one German solider. "Downfall" isground breaking in the sense that it is the first film to tackle themulti-dimensional character of Hitler in a straightforward andhumanistic approach.

The filrrls screenplay, written by Bemd Eichinger, is basedon historian Joachim Fest's book "Der Untergang," aka "TheDownfall: tnside Hitlert Bunker, The Last Days of the ThirdReich." The book gives insight on Hitler and why people wereso entranced by their Ftihrer that they remained loyal until thefiery end.

Hitler's moments of grandeur are also on display,frightening moments when he felt he could take over theworld with his political and military strength. His misguidedconfidence is also explored. By the time he regained hismotivation to lead, it was impossible to win. When he endedhis life, Hitler was in an eerily calm state, which alludes tohis delusional state. Hider's stages of dementia are experdyexplored.

monstrous side must be constantly present, but the film mustsimultaneously represent his humanistic side through theexploration of his emotions.

Ganz is sober enough to take on the role and has immersedhimself in intense character study to closely imitate Hitler'smannerisms and speech. Ganz struggles to work'with theEichinger's screenplay, artfully showing the prychological sideof Hitler's character. Ganz battles with inner conflict whilesimultaneously displaying the hideous consequences of hisdangerous leadership.

We want to understand the historical ramifications ofHitler's rule, but are we ready to see him as a real person?German National Socialism is easier to understand withhistorical distance.

Hey,hoWdhedothat?A writer peeks intothe world of hip-hopproduction-from theother side of the micby Justin RennoldsThe lvetroDolitan

A scientist is hard at work in the basementof his suburban home. He is creating a mas-terpiece using the most expensive and com-plex technology available in his profession.

His name is fay Dee Madril and he isColorado's premier music producer and pres-ident of Xplosive Music. He is quiet and calmbut his music is loud and in your face,

Last week I was lucky enough to sit in on arecording session with Madril. I went into theexperience having never touched an instru-ment in my life or being able to read musicalnotes. I left with a vast knowledge of hip-hopproduction,

I observed the creative process of mak-ing a hip-hop beat from scratch, sequencingit and mastering it using $50,000 worth ofequipment. Throughout the process, Madrilis focused solely on his work It is eerie as thestudio is silent, no one speaks for ten minutesand the only noises are the sounds generatedby the hi-tech keyboard.

Madril anxiously sits down in front of hispiano. He quickly turns a dial on the keyboardsearching for the perfect sound to incorporateinto his beat. He chooses a chiming and high-pitched'ting." He masterfirlly plays the chordscreating a sound that is then made into a loop.This process continues for the next rcn min-utes as Madril shuffles through the hundredsof sounds in his keyboard recording theminto a three minute long piece of music.

The piano is the most vital piece of equip-ment in the studio. On it, the sounds, sam-pling and rhythm for the track are built.

Madril then stands up, takes a breath andmoves to sit down in front of his computer.He carefully downloads the recorded looponto professional quality music software.

Now he enters the second phase of thepmcess: transferring and mastering the beat.

He methodically uses the program toseparate the various elements of the loop. Theexcitement builds as he begins to experimentwith the recorded sounds. He messes aroundwith the tempo and adds more bass to thetrack.

The beat contains a snare, a thumpingbass-line, a trumpet and a piano. Staringintently at his computer, he edits the tone andpitch of each of the separated instrumentals.He is happy and takes pride in his work.Madril breathes a sigh of relief-he is almostfinished.

His fingers dance across the keyboard ashe labels and programs each "slami 'bang,"

and "choom." He does this so that the beat isbalanced and each noise is clear and crisp to

the listener. He can finally meld each noisetogether creating a firll-fledged beat.

Once tJre beat is made, Ma&il adds vocalson top of the instrumentation. It is obvious

"I would saymy stuffis a little

offthe wall...I throw a lot of

different samples in,little things

you don't catch"-Iay Dee Madril

this is his favorite part of the process.Before completing the process the vocals

and instrumenals are then mastered so thatthe sound is balanced and each segment ofthe track is equally distinct and clearly heardby the listeners. Madril nods his head inapproval as he downloads the finished beat

onto a CD-R.Madril's hip-hop beats incorporate hard

West Coast bass lines with simple sounds likethe "ting' of a triangle or the "twang" of anelectric guitar.

"I would say my stuff is a litde off the wall... I throw a lot of different samples in, litdethings you dont catch until you hear the songa couple times," says Madril as he hands mehis finished beat.

I'm impressed; the man has created a mas-terpiece in minutes. The finished product is anearly four-minute long head-nodding track.It is distinct and original in content. His beasrange from real hardcore to R & B.

It was an amazing experience and one I'llforever cherish. Sitting in Madril's lab alsochanged my outlook on the music industryand those who try their hardest to reap t}lefinancial rewards it can offer.

You can sit in a studio all day creatingmusic that no one will ever hear. You musthave a strong will and desire to create musicprofessionally. I respect musicians like Madrilwho can do so.

Madril is a young man with a huge hear!unmatched motivation, and unbreakablespirit.

Nickle for your thoughtsstory by Amando llanzanar€sphotos by ilatthew JonasThe Metrooolitan

Imagine the glory of scoring the winninggoal in sudden death or maling the kill thatgives the team the winning point or launchingthe buzzer beater from half-court to take thechampionship.

Then the flip side, doing just the opposite.Regardless, the experience of hearing your

* name, seeing it in print and being commendedfor your performance in last night's game is,for some, the only reason for playing a sport.

Thke Ryon Nickle, Metro senior with fouryears on the men's basketball team.

All four of those years includedregional championships, a Sweet Sixteen

. and Final Four appearance and a nationalchampionship in 2002, as well as numerousnotable accomplishments the players, theteam and the head coach have attained.

"He came to Metro looking for anopportunity to be a part of an organizationand play basketball," said Mike Dunlap, men'sbasketball head coach. "It was kind of one of

. those deals where he asked for a little and gaveit his all, and from day one, has done that."NicHe is a Colorado native and aftendedHeritage High School in Littleton, where hetook part in regular varsity sports, includingbasketball.

After graduating, Nickle went on to TheUnivers$ of Northern Colorado in Greeley.

r He completed one year there, but realizedIINC was not for him.

Metro then came in his sights and heregistered for classes and began anew.

Nickle walked through the men'sbask*ball office door and said he wanted toplay for the team, Dunlap said.

Nickle tried out, Dun]ap convened with'

his high school coach about his time on theteam there, and then Dunlap came back toNickle with a to-do list before he would beconsidered for the team.

Nickle was quick to respond and do whatwas needed for Dunlap to say NicHe was a"viable candidateJ for a walk on.

'When you're looking at a walk-on, you re'

not looking for a guy that can help your teamscore points or isrlt going to be destructivebecause he's not going to get the playing time

Rvon Nickle strrted as a walk-on for the Men'sbasketball program four years ago He graduatesthis May with a dege in Business Management.

Brad Nicfle (right) talks about his role as a parent while Ryon NicHe (eft) and his mother Sherry Nickle (centcr) listen at their home ia Litdeton, Colo.

The NicHds hone hrs been a'home awey ftom home'for nany of the men's bas&etball t€am membcn throrryhout Ryon's four years on tle team.

that he wants," Dunlap said. Often, that isthe case with walk-ons: having delusions ofgetting playing tirne or starting and havingthe attitude "that you need me."

Dunlap said when he first met Nickle theytalked for over an hour and immediately hecould tell, "there was something between thetwo of us,,

As circumstance would have it, the dayNickle walked on-Sept. 7, 2001-justhappened to be the day on whidr he wasborn.

But dl of his ambition, skill andconnection with the coach were no guaranteehe would start for the team or even get playingtime.

In fact, out of a total of 1 36 games over thepast four years, Niclde'played in 56 of them.

Think about it, For four years-especiallybefore and during the season-having to wakeup at 4:30 a.m., leave your dorm and get tothe gym to practice from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m.,attend your daily classes and afterward go to arequired study hall for an hour and a half.

Then, after that, back to the gym for ahalf-hour weight-lifting session and it allending where it began, with a second practicesession.

Then back to the dorms.This is the teamt strict practice and

playing regimen.One of the team members said previously,

"We wake up when it's dark and leave Metrowhen itt dark."

Dunlap said the others on the teamunderstood how much work Nickle put in andrealized they better pick it up because "thatguy over there is not getting the playing timetlat he wants. He's one of those glue guys thatmakes your team better."

Dunlap said there are two situations totake into consideration in regard to Nickleand his position on the team.

First, he said the regimen: with the earlymorning practices it serves as a 6lter for

being on the team and keeping that spot.'Forthose that go through the process and makeit through it and to do that for four yearswithout a carrot (a scholarship) says volumesabout Ryon right there!" Dunlap said-

Second, "he's only the second guy that hasever done that within my eight yearsi Dunlap

really, what we said to our entire team, is thisguy will be our leader regardless of playingtime, because I never felt that that was topcriterion in order to be a great leader," Dunlapsaid.

'What I really got out of this is theexperience. To be mentored and educated bycoach Dunlap and his assistants and saff andassociatesl Nickle said.

He also experienced the various culturesof his teammates who are from all over theworld.

That was reward enough for being on theteam, "not to mention the opportunity to bethe best in the nationi he said.

Ryon is the first-bom son of Brad andSherry Nickle.

They have two more sons.The Nickles can be dubbed the team

parents because not only have they attendedevery single game since Ryon walked on, buttheir house in Littleton is a home away fromhome for many of the players on the team.

'I don't think we really tried to have anyspecial relationships. We're concerned aboutgiving Ryon a place to go as well as his friends.We just 6ll gaps that we think might be there.

Our house is open to them," Brad Nickle said.Sherry Nickle said she understan& the

guys get homesick.'They come to our houseand they're comfortable herej' she said.

Ryon Nickle was hurnble talking about hisparents, but said they have been very generousin offering up their home for the team.

Ryon Nickle said a big factor in acceptinghis role on the team and being able to grow inthat role are his parents.

He said they never griped about hisplaying time and would not feed into that

Ryon Nickle shared some insight intoDunlap and all he has done for him and therest of the team.

He said Dunlap coaches from his guts andhis heart and that he is a teacher before he isa coach.

"Dunlap takes great pride in seeingpersonal development. To be honest, he takesgreat pride in seeing us get our degrees. I betif he knew that wery guy ever)' year wouldget their degree, he would give up winningbecause he knows that's something that setsyou up for the future," NicHe said.

Men's basketball will be losing five of the12 players currently on the team. Dunlap saidRyon Nickle is 'definitely a quiet leader andhas been for the four years he has been withus."

I'm excited about his future and the restof his life because I think that being a quietleader and the way he did it with great acumenbodes well for his future."

N.M. Highlands takesheavly lumberto Metro

Th,i,y t*a,,

by Sam DeWittThe Metropolitan

It wasrit supposed to start this way.The Metro baseball team opened confer-

ence play this weekend against New MexicoHighlands University and went in an earlyhole, losing all three games (four were sched-uled, one cancelled due to weather) andgetting outscored 40-22 for the weekend.For the first time this season, scoring morethan 5 runs didn't guarantee a win for theRoadrunners; the Cowboy offense made sureof it.

"We left runners il scoring positionseveral times this weekendj' said head coachVince Porreco, "And in those cases we need toget a big hit to score a run, especially against ateam like Highlands that can hurt you if youmake mistakes."

In game one, the Roadrunners could notget their offens€ to function, not scoring asingle run until the top of the ninth inningwhen they were already down l4-0.

In the ninth, junior Mike Hoefs got thingsstarted with a single to left, then advanced tosecond on an error by the left fielder. JuniorDerrick Deidel pinch hit for Lawson andearned a walk. Senior Nick Thorne thendrove in Hoefs from second on a single toright field. Freshman Kevin Graham earneda walk, foliowed by a single to center field byjunior Randy lashua that scored Deidel andThorne. Senior Greg Garrison singled to leftto score Graham, but that's all the offenseMetro could get, and they fell 14-4.

"We need timelv hits." Porreco said."Pitching and defense need to keep us inballgames."

Game two started out the same way forthe Roadrunners, spotting the Cowboys a 2-0lead in the second inning.

In the fourth, Metro was able to get tworuns across, the first on a bunt by Grahamthat scored Hoefs; the second on a Thornesacrifice fly that scored junior Adam lawson.In the bottom of that same inning, Highlandstook a three-run lead then added four moreruns in the fifth to make it 9-2.

Metro had a big sixth inning, startedwhen Graham earned a walk and Randylashua homered to left-center, making it 9-4. After Gorman and Garrison both singled,senior Clint Cleland crushed one over thewall to make it 9-7. Highlands would scoretwo more runs however, making it 11-7 andsealing the game. Metro scored once more on

a solo home run by senior Russel Floyd in theseventh, but fell 1l-8.

In game three, Metro took a 1-0 lead inthe top of the first, a double by Garrison scor-ing fake Palmer from second. In the second,Highlands put up three runs, followed byMetro tying the game at three in a two-runthird, compliments of back-to-back homeruns by Garrison and Cleland.

In the fourth, Thorne's sacrffice buntscored Lawson to give Metro a 4-3 advantage.In the fifth the Cowboys'bats awoke to thetune of five runs and an 8-4 NMHU lead, TheRoadrunners responded again, scoring threeruns in the top of the sixth thanks to clutchRBI hits ftom senior Phil Francis, Thome(RBI double) and Palmer, to make it an 8-7Irllgame.

Highlands scored two runs in the bottomof the sixth, followed by a two-run Metroseventh featuring an RBl-triple by seniorNate Christiansen and a Floyd sacrifice flyto make it l1-9, NMHU. In the bottom halfof the inning, the Cowboys drove across fourruns to seal t}te contest, Metro would scoreone more run in the top of the eighth on aPalmer home run, but it wasn't enough, andMetro's RMAC season started out 0-3. 15-10was the final tally.

Hoefs was a bright spot in an otherwisedark weekend for the Roadrunners, going 7-for-12 at the plate.

"Personally, I'm just seeing the ball well,and doing the things coach has been talkingabout," Hoefs said. "From a team perspective,we need to get our whole game together at thesame time. You know, we have offense but nopitching, or good pitching and no offense. Weneed to put it all together."

Metro now returns to Auraria Field, infour games with Mesa State College begin-ning April l. First pitch is slated for 3:00 p.m.

Roadtrip sees mixed resultsspot 8-5.'We let the matc.h slip away,"Williamsaid. "Our bottom half of the team did not dotheir share."

The match against St Cloud State wasMetro's hardest lesson of the break as theywere swept 9-0.

"I believe St. Cloud State is the best orsecond best team in the regioni Nilsson said.'They have played tougher teams and weremore prepared because of it.'

Schumacher and Nilsson wete up andahead a game the entire doubles match untilthey lost it at the end- They won more breakpoints in the No. I doubles match but endedup losing 7-9.

" Best match me and fames wer played,"Nilsson said, "It was a matter of points thatdecided the match. When they had a chancethey took them, we didn't."

The doubles partners Nilsson andSchumacher are currently ranked eighth in theregion for and their opponents were rankedfourth in the region,

The Meyer's lost their No. 2 doublesmatch 5-8, Nilsson (ranked sixth in singlesin the region) lost his No. 1 singles to Tony

Larson (ranked fi:fth regionally in singles) 3-6, l-6 and Schumacher lost his No. 2 singlesto Titus Christianson (ranked seventh in thercgion) 5-7, 4-6.

"It was the type of team we need to startplaying to get better individually and as ateami'William said. "The type of level of thatteam (St. Cloud State) and the level ofplaywasdifferent than we've seen this year."

The'Runners ended thefu Spring Breaktrip pounding Minnesota State-Mankato 7-2.

"They were the weaker teami Nilsson said." This was a really big win for us."

Nilsson praises the fteshmen stepping upthis season for points.

"Our freshmen's confidence is growingand you can see that on the court and itreflects in the resultsi Nilsson said, 'If teamsunderestimate us it will come back and hauntthem." This team is gaining on confidence andchemistry and plan to make their opponentswork hard to beat them.

The 'Runners will play next at ColoradoChristian April 2. Then they will return to theAuraria Courts on April 3, at ll a.m. againstCU-Colorado Springs.

an RMAC Player of the Week-twice, butwhen it comes to hardware I know he and hiseleven other counterparts want what VirginiaUnion has, the national title.

Worthington, Ben Ortner and MichaelMors€ put on a front-court exhibition thatmade every three through five man in theconference take notes. Keith Borgan playedwith so much intensity this season it almostIooked like the Roadrunner faithful weredestined to have another banner to hanghigh from its "Nestl but in 40 minutes, theirdestiny was denied.

Getting back up the hill next year nowlooks like an uphill battle. The'Runners onlyhave Greg Muth returning from their startinglineup, a group ofoptions at the guard spots,but seemingly no dominating big man on theroster for next season. You can never countthis team out when it comes to winning it all,but at least for right now, it looks ... ifi).

Baseball (15-15,0-3)At this point in the season the Roadrunner

baseball squad is hanging by a thread andthey are holding on for dear life. This teamhas gone from being three games above .500with a chance to not only qualifr for theconference tourney, but also a regional spot,to possibly kissing their regional chancesgoodbye and barely making the conferencetournament.

This team was given ample chances tomake a regional impression with teams likeNorthwest Nazarene and Western Oregon,teams they should have swept with the talentthey have, to now having to beat some of thebetter teams in the conference iust to stayalive in the playoff hunt. With CSU-Pueblo,arch rival Regis and Fort Hays still on theschedule, this team might be forced to wakeup from its postseason dreams.

Men's Tennis (l-7, G0 RMAC)Women's Tennis (0-5' 0-0 RMAC)

You can place these two teams in the'Gaining Experience" column, because withmostly young players on the roster thisseason, this year could be just a run-throughto show these young players just how hardthey will have to work nart season in orderto succeed.

Metro crashes in Minnesotasee postseason play?BASEBALL: Will team

by NickTacinasThe Metropolitan

The woment tennis teamkicked off Spring Break with atrip to St. Cloud, Minn., to take onWinona State, Augustana College,St. Cloud State and MimesotaState-Mankato.

While most Metro studentswere on vacation and relaxed. tJre'Runners worked hard.

The first match againstWinona State proved to be atough start as the Roadrunnerslost l-8.

Sophomore ChristineKnutson, a transfer from WinonaState University, faced her oldschool for the first time sincecoming to Metro. It was not ahappy reunion as she lost her No.6 singles match 1-6, 0-6.

The 'Runners only win camein the No. 1 doubles match wheresophomore Tia Mahoney andjunior |ackie Coppola won 8-6.

"The first part (of the trip)I played well, the second part 1lost my focus but got it back,"Mahoney said. "It was an up anddown weekend for me."

One of the toughest matchesof the weekend came againstthe University of North Dakota,The Fighting Sioux swept the'Runners 9-0. The closest matchcame in the No, I doubles asMahoney and Coppola lost 4-8.

The match against Augustana Collegelater that evening proved to be another toughone as Metro lost again 3-6. Coppola won hermatdr in the No. 2 singles 10-6.

Sophomore Akiko Kinoshita also wasvictorious in the No.4 spot l0-7, The'Runners also took the No, 2 doubles asjunior Sarah Spence and Kinoshita won 8-5.Mahoney batded in her match in the number3 singles but ended up loosing 7-10.

Metro junior fackie Coppola swings to return the baB M.rch 12' at the AurariaC-ourts in a m.tch against C-olorado College. C-oppola is a women's teuris walk-on.

"The surface was smooth, balls came backfaster than usual," Mahoney said. 'There wasno advantage to either side."

The third match against the St. CloudState University Huskies proved to be themost dimcult of the trip as they called thesefast courts at Gold's Gym, home.

The Huskies shut out the'Runners 0-9."They took advantage of the home court,"

said junior Julie Thomas. "They played veryaggressive."

In the final match against the Minnesota

State University MankatoMaver icks, the'Runnerscame up short losing 4-5.

'The girl I played hada hard time returning myserve as did I for her serves,"Thomas said. "Both hadawesome serves, pretty muchwho could break the other'sserve first would win."

Despite her good serves,Thomas lost her match3-6, 3-6. Her opponent,sophomore Liz Retzlaff, hasa team high eight wins (8-6)on the season.

"It was a long and tiringmatch," Thomas said of thematch that lasted well overan hour. "I am not the sameplayer I was in high school."

Thomas has been out oftennis for four years due tothe strength of the programas there was no availabilityfor walk-ons when sheenrolled at Metro.

"Not playing for fouryears will handicap aperson," Thomas said. "I'mslowly advancing but notquickly as possible."

Thomas would like todo more drills in hittinggroundstrokes in theirmatches at practice.

'I'm glad to be back intotennis, it's mv second shot."

Mahoney praised her tearris effort,especially Kinoshita and Coppola as they bothhad two singles and two doubles wins overthe trip.

The team is building upon their chemistryand experience after the teanls second roadtrip togetlrer.

The next matches are a make-up of theCSU-Pueblo match April l, at the AurariaCourts at 10:30 a.m. April 2, at ColoradoChristian and April 3 at the Auraria Courts.
