New portal will increase communi-cation for faculty, staff studeng;gain efficienciet reduce costs

byArmandoltlanzanaesTheftu@itan

Mehoconnect, the college's new web-basedcommmication portal, will lamch July 7. Thissysten is an integration of the college's email,Banner and calendar wift speci{ic and customizedinfonnation delivery.

Meftoconnect will utilize a single login,rnlike the curr€nt proc€ss of logging into Meroemail. It will offer a customized interface withinformation channels of relevant, specified infor-mation that pertains to the users role at the college.

The college plans to cut costs and save moneyby utilizing the portal to deliver aDd corffnunicateinformation helping manage the diminishingresornces and declining budger. The total cost ofthis system is M60,000. Frmding has been split50/50 from student fees and allocated fundsspecifically for ftis project.

B€nefiB ofthe portal include enhanced ernailqrtions, a calendar wirh course information,online cryus goups and message boards andreal-time chat capabilities with any other user ofthe systern

MeaoConnect will integra.te the college's cur-rent calendar system (CtrporateTime) and -email(Web,nail) into one data interface |fiat wiil inte-gmte us€rh calendtr, email, amouncements andpenonalized services.

'"The pctal is a role.based delivery system formrnmrmicatims," said Chris Mmcuso, manager

of web communications at Metro. '"Three rolescurrendy that are addressed within the portal: stu-dents, faculty and employees."

You must be a part of the college commrmityand be defined in one of the three roles to haveaccess to the porial.

''The strength of the portal in communicationlies in that we [Meto] can actually target informa-tion to these three roles. You end up with infomn-tion that gets to the right person at the right timedrmugh the right means," Mancuso said

The portalt Foject tear\ which is dividedinto three separate teams: technical, fimctional andfacilitation, set a goal of five to six months fiomappmval to larmch. This sysEm is being usedacross the country at around 200 schools. Olherschools have a timeline of a year to I 8 months forimplementation and convenion.

With the innoduction of newer technologiesand the college's commitment to enhancing serv-ic6, the portal is an idea that has been in the rnindsof various interests for some time.

"This has been discussed for years. There hasbeen shrdent services interests that have pushedfor this," Mancuso said,

Portal Project Manag€r and IT Web ManagerBen Zasrrocky said the feedback fiom otherschools that use this type of system has been pos-itive.

"lt (MetroConn€ct) is more then a comruni-cations vehicle for bringing these services likeBanner, web, email, calendar and scheduling, it'salso a means of community building" Mancuso

said. "Think of it as an exte,nsion ofservices to youonce you'rc part of the community. It a pct oftheentire web experience."

On the home page of the college's web sitethere is an area defined as'Quick Links". The linktided Reccds and Registation will be replacedwith MeroConnect which will navigate users tofie portal.

Users have to have internet access to use theportal. lt is also suggested that users use one of ftetwo browsers (Internet E:rplorer md Nebcape)ard their nost r€cerlt v€rsions.

The board of trustee's Policy Manualstates that a RIF is authorized in the event ofeither a significant decline in state appropria-tions or other revenue creates a need toreduce expenses, or the educational pmgramor department in which the faculty member isemployed is significaotly reduced or elimi-

ulty who will then be vulnerable to termina-tion as a target of opportunity.

"We could reduce full-time tenure facultybefore we lay off any part-time, which is truethe way the RIF policy is laid out," Barnettsaid. "The basis for that is economics morethat anylhing else. Part-timers cost us lessthan tenure faculty."

Barnett said that if the state declares a fis-cal emergency, then cutting highly paid

tenure faculty would be economically smart.However. he said the board of trustee's ulti-mate goal is to make sure the college haspeople in the classroom. who are qualified toteach.

"There should be early, careful and mean-ingful faculty involvement in the dpcisions

relating to the reduction of instructional pro-grams," the resolution slated.

New fitness centerin use for Auraria

b/Noe[el-eaviEThelvkwlitan

A new fitness center op€ned at Auraria atthe beginning of the surnmer semester in theEvents Center Building. The center providesstudents, faculty, administration and staff witha larger variety of physical equipment andspace to utilize.

"There's a vast difference," said AlexaHanke, UCD graduate student and work-study employee in the fitness center. "Thisnew facility is so much better than the one wehad previously."

The old fitness center was located in theGreen Room on the second floor ofthe EventsCenter Building; the new fitness center istwice the size and is located in the auxiliarvgym on the first floor.

The idea for a new fitness center startedthree years ago by Campus Recreation atAuraria and Human Perfomrance Sports andLeisure studies.

"After several months of discussion, wetook our plan to Student Advisory Committeeto the Auraria Board," said Tony Price, direc-tor of campus recreation at Auraria.

SACAB is made up of students from thethree schools on campus and their role is toreview and make recommendations forapproval of policies, construction and mainte-narice of facilitiis, financial requests and feestructures at Auraria.

"They (SACAB) are very cautious howthey spend student dollars," said DickFeuerborn division director for facilities plan-ning and use.

The money for the new fitness centercame out of an Auraria bond fee which stu-dents from all three colleges pay as part oftheir tuition. The bond was set up to financepotential projects for the Tivoli, Events Centerand Child Care Center.

"Close to a half-million dollars came outof the Auraria bond fees to make this project

happen," Price said."This all gotapproved at the endof last summer, rightbefore everythinghit with budgetcuts."

Price said cam-pus recreation hasnot had any negativefeedback concern-ing the new fitnesscenter in regard tothe budget problemsall three schoolsface.

The total cost ofthe remodel for theauxiliary gym to berenovated into anew fitness centerwas $227,139.Feuerborn said therest of the money went toward the renovationof the racquetball courts, which costs 160,850.

In order to make the new fltness centerpossible, campus recreation had to do a lot ofremodeling that did not pertain directly to theauxiliary gym. The Events Center had eightracquetball courts, but the use of th€ courtshad declined over the past'several years andwas being used for classes and gymnaslics,Price said.

"We felt like the racquetball space was themost dead space in the facility," Price said.

The racquetball courts were connected,but walls separated them. The renovationmoney was used to tear down the walls tomake one big room, along with patching thefloors. The former courts will now be used foraerobics, additional weight training and gym-nastics.

The new frtness center has more windowsthan the previous one, and Price said students

have given him positive feedback on how thewindows give the gym a more comfortablefeel.

"I love it. It's really nice," said Metro jun-ior, Ana Lugo.

Many students did not utilize the old fit-ness center because of the lack of space andequipment. Hanke said.

She also said, "A lot of people got veryintimidated and didn't want to start theirworkout there-."

She said tbe new fitness center has sever-al new attractions that students will like. suchas six TV's with VHS and DVD capabilitiesand FM stations that students can tune to aslong as they bring their own radio with them.Mirrors line the walls of the gym, which Pricesaid is a feature many students rave about.

Price said he is very excited about all thefeatuies the new fitness center offers studentsand is confident it will continue to be a suc-cess in the fall semester.

rnronsMemorial Day respects

Memorial Day is a special day for myfamily and all families who have lost relativesin war It's not a day in which I go to a BBQor enjoy my day off from work and get a tan.My first priority on Memorial Day is visiting

Fort Logan NationalCemetery. I fear that formany Amencans,Memorial Day is just

another day off fromwork hindered by rainand the closure of manyshops and banks. Isthere nothing pop-cul-

ture can't ruin?Recently, I sat

down and ate a tunasandwich with a couple

ofVietnam veterans. These two men, who arevery liberal, complained several times aboutthe anti-war crowd that surrounded their stayin Vietnam. They told gory tales ofdeath anddestructioq but they always seemed moreupset about the lack of patriotism. Patriotismisn't just something "the Bush Administrationis using to gain suppon." Patr-iotism is some-thing real that we all need.to embrace.

For over an hour now, cars fi l led withpeople have been flowing like red blood cellsthrough thc veins of the cemetery -- cold, pale,dutifully and without delay. Somber facespaying their respect to the dead men andrvomen of our military. White gravestonesgraced with names and numbers, seem to growfrom the grass below and spread out over thehills as far as the eye can see. I sit, peoplewatching, deep in thought.

The flow of my conscious thoughts andremembrance is shattered by the thumpingstereo of a car speeding down the road in thedistance. I can't help but think about the dis-respect being shown by the passerby. Herepeople are mouming and paying homage to

these dead souls who gave their lives so thatthe driver of that speeding car could exist insuch a disrespectful country. In the early after-noon, I had the following conversation with afriend which illustrates my point to perfection.

"So do you have any big plans for today?"asked my friend.

"I'm going to the cemetery" I replied."For what?" she asked."It's Memorial Day," I answered."Oh yeah, I gotcha," was her response."Yeah, it's kind of a responsibility," I said

with an emphasis on responsibility."I guess," she said. "l never did anything

like that in the past, but that is the whole rea-son for the day. So do you have any plans forlater today?"

"Not really," I told her. "Do you?""I'm going to the pool to get some sun,"

she said."Working on your tan," I asked full of sar-

casm.It's funny and at the same time sad that

people kno'* what the day is about and stilldon't care. All the men and women who diedfor our freedom had numbers attached to theirnames, as do all of us. Those numbers marktheir gravestones. Their numbers mean morethan our numbers because their number stoodfor something. Their number protected ourfreedoms and our rights. Their number madeit possible for our numbers not to matter andfor many ofus to take their numbers for gran!ed.

Is it better to support and memorializethose ll'ho fought for us. or is it better to fightagainst those who are supporting and memori-alizing those who fought for us? Are you offto remember those who made a difference andmake a difference yourself, or are you off tothe pool with your tanning lotion, Gucci swimwear. and the latest Madonna track?

Consumer confidence called into questionThe following companies were part ofa

Securities and hxchange Commission sct-tlement of $l.4 billion. \lhrch out, here theycome:

Citigroup lnc.'sSalomon SmithBamey unit; CreditSuisse Group'sCSFB: GoldmanSachs; LehmanBrothers, UBSWarburg; J.PMorgan; Chase, BearSteams; MorganStanley: Merril lLynch; and USBancorp's PiperJaffrav unit.

You may recognize some of thesenames fiom their numerous commercials

with themes of hust and security. Thesecompanies settled with thc SEC overcharges of ftaud.

As a condition of the settlement, noneofthese companies are found guiltv or mustadmit to any wrongdoing. Roughly $400million rvill be put into a fund to reimbursea limited number of betrayed investors.

Merrill Lynch has agreed to pay $100million in investor education and independ-ent research. Evidently, it's the investor'sfault that they didnt realize they were beingrobbed, hoodwinked and swindled.

I don't kno.l'about you, but to me thisseems an aw.frrl lot like someone robbing abank for a million dollars, getting caught,and settling in court for a half-million and asmall donation in bank-teller education.

I'm still trying to figure out how set-tline in court in this circumstance even

remote ly resembles something callcdJustice. I'm of the mind that the peopledeserve to kno$.exactly which companicsbehayed their trust and horv they did it. I'moIthe mind that the suits ofthosc rcsponsi-ble should have only horzontal stripes andthat the only bars they irequent are l'erticaland cold to the touch.

This is a hcarl-handed exarnple of*hy everyone wants to be rich. Oncc you'rerich, you can do whatever you want. Theonly people that got hurt in the stock marketdecline were those that couldn't afford it.

And yet, miraculously, the ConsumerConfidence lndex rose in April. ConsumerconJidence is a rating system thatjudges theeconomy and the *ill to purchase goods.I'm starttng to \r'orry about my confidence inthe consumer. Maybe we do need thatinvestor educalion after all.

Letters to the EditorDear Editor,

In the May 29, 2003 Opinions section, TheMetropolitan mistakenly tit led Nick Bahl's opinion piece,"The 'Road Map' to Mideast peacc ripc for protest." Mr.

Bahl says nothing about protesting the Road Map thatcalls upon both the Palestinians and Israelis to make dif-ficult concessions and reach a negotiated settlementtowards peace. Instead, he presents a one-sided scathingdiatribe against Israel, much of which is inaccurate andconfused. As a reporter for this paper, I hope Mr. Bahl'snews stories aspire to a higher standard of joumalistic

integrity than his opinion piece.

Aykroy dlBelushi on tourbryChelqylftinTheMaroplitan

Jim Belushi and Dan Aykroyd broughtdown the house on when they performed a freeconcert at Tower Records in Cherry Creek Jrme9. They are promoting their new album and tour'"The Have Love Wll Travel Revue."

Belushi and Aykroyd, both famous for theirroles as comedians, but both are talent€d musi-cians as well. They decided to perfomr all newand original songs from their album (which car-ries the same name as the tour). They bcast thatthe show is "Big Men, Big Music." They haveone song entitled "300 pounds of Joy," whichalludes to their weight. Although the songs arehumorous, the quality of the music is not sacri-ficed.

Aykoyd is known most notably as one ofthe founding member of the comedic team the"Blues Brother." The Blues Brother's werecomprised of Aykroyd and John Belushi, JirnBelushi's older brother, John Belushi, who diedofa drug overdose in 1982.

The duo decided that they wanled to per-form all new material and leave the BluesBrothers at home.

"In a store like this it is fun to see the baseconstituency of the fans come out and to meetpeople, shake their hand, (and) work with theirfamilies," Aykroyd said. "It's really what thiscampaign is all about. 'Have love will travel' isa good feeling kind of project it's all abouthumor and positive energy living. And summer."

They came prepared to put on a great musicrevue show that included a live band and backup singers. The band that performed withBelushi and Aykroyd, the same band that per-forms and writes the music for Belushi's hit TVshow "Life According to Jim."

. The three back up singers, John Rubano,Julie Delgado and Jimmie Wood bring a charis-matic element to the show with the way that thev

dance and play fight with each other in sync tothe rhythm of the music. Delgado conrmentedthat working with Belushi and Aykroyd is notlike any of the ofier shows that she has donebefore. She has sung back up for Janet Jackson,Diana Ross. and Natalie Cole to name a few.

"The thing is we have fun, and it's notabout anybody trying to out sing anyone."Delgado said "[We're] having a good time andcelebrating the freedom of who we are. We'reffee to do what we want " Every night is some-thing different. There is a lot of improve. Wehave to stay on our toes. We get to do whateverwe want.

'TI] bri"g a lot of what I leamed at SecondCity to the stage, and we make up whatever wewant to do," said Rubano, a Colorado native,who grew up in Wheat Ridge and graduatedfrom CU-Boulder.

One thing that Aykroyd ard Belushi do wellis making their fans happy.

"It's so great to see who's interested in thismusic and see the people that have appreciate allthe work that we've done over the years and whoare quite vocal about it," Aykoyd said.

"We took a grassroots approach," Belushisaid. "We just want to share [this CD] with peo-ple, we want to get it out to people."

A brilliant perfonnance by Mother BrillantbvChelsylftintheMetrorylltan

Local trio "Mother Brilliant" performed onJune 6 at the.Bottoms Up Tavem. The members

of Mother Brillianl can be best discribed as hum-ble, somewhat resewed, but ready to rock.

This trio is comprised of Rick Henley whois the lead singer, Ryan Day on dmms and JasonRowsell who plays both bass and keyboard. They

list "Rush," 'The

Police," and the band"dada" as some of theirmusical in fluences."High energy, reallycreative song writingwithout sacrificingmelody and hooks," iswhat Day says they aimfor when writing songsand creating music.

h their show theysang songs that theywrote and arragnedthemselves with theexception of two coversong - one by Billy Joeland another by Weezer.Their original songswere catchy and had agood pop feel. Theysounded a bit like 80's

among bands that influence the type and style offthe music that they. play. While their style is notcompletely unique, it still sounds good"

This is not deep or heary music, but not allmusic had to be. For example, the band AllienAnt Farm performs a song called 'Movies"

which is about having fim going to the moviesbecause the movies offer an escape from reality.This is not the kind of band that you look to forpolitical motivation or spirtual enlighte nent,they're the kind ofband that you listen to whenyou don't want !o think about those sorts ofthings, they perftom songs that don't require agmduared degree or a strong political convictionto understand. Fronfinan for the band WinstonSmith sai4 'Musically, their tight. They have ashong vocalist. The songs are pretty solid. Themusic is like the breezy, catch 80's stufl, but a lit-tle more gituar oriented." This is a refreshing.break from the young male angst that is so popu-lar in music right now. These boys do not rivalLinkin Park thev are more relaxed and carefree.

- is a band that the list

People'qairgoers also enjoyed all manner of entertain-

ment. A hqge variety of music, comedy, magic showsand children's entertainment provided somethins. for everygne throughout the overcast and some-

,! times rainy weekend.

FairMusical acts ranging from an Elvis

Impersonator to lounge swing acts to blues andreggae took to the various stages throughout the

weekend.

"I try very hard to improve the quality of enter-tainment," Knon said, "We don't just want your garden-varietygarage bands playing."

The CHPF began in 1969 when a group of concerned citi-zens successfully fought the city's plan to make I I th and I 2thavenues one way streets in the Capital Hill Neighborhood.This grassroots effort led to the founding of the Capital HillUnited Neighborhood.

CHUN, whose borders extend from lst lo 22ndAvenues and from Broadway to Colorado Boulevard, is

dedicated to improving the quality of life for the CapitalHill neighborhood and residents. They are responsiblefor preserving many of the area's historic landmarks,

such as the Temple Events Center and the MayanTheatre.

In 1971, Denver Police Lt. Richard elligoodgathered with Capital Hill community residents andheld a neighborhood get- together at what was onceMorey Junior High School to improve relationswith Denver Citv Hall. the Police DeDartment dndthe Capital Hill Community. In its first year,2000 people attended.

In 1974, CHUN assumed control of theCHPF and with the continuous and growingsuccess ofthe Fair, its location moved first toEast High School, then to its current locationin Civic Center Park in 1987.

With steady expansion of the Fair, thefinancial costs of running the event havegrown along with generated profits. "li'svery expensive to make sure it (CHPF)runs smoothly," Knorr said. "Golf cartsalone are $25 a day to rent."

After approximately $650,000 incity and state taxes are accounted for,profits gederated by the Fair are donat-ed to local non-profit organizations.$53,000 was awarded in the form ofgrants to twenty-seven such entities.

Knorr expects the CHPF tocontinue to grow and give back tothe Capital Hill neighborhood'slarge and diverse communitythrough a festive atmosphere ofgood will and profits g€nerated

by the fair."It's a great opportunity to

take the funds and grants gen-erated by the fair to non-profitorganizations," Knorr said.

The Mind Field

"I call this story the mind field instead ofminefield. due to the fact that I haven't decid-ed yet if it was all in my head. I am, by trade,and identification code, an Infantry Soldier.Military Occupational Specialty llb, to beexact. I am trained for one purpose, and thatis ground combat. All my training gould begiven to a chimpanzee in two weeks, and allthat would happen is the animal-rights peoplewould complain about using chimps asweapons,"

"Anyone can squeeze a trigger - at leastthat's what I thought - but somehow I guessmost of the higher echelon in the Army is fdrmore simple minded."

"Case in point: after driving for whatseemed an eternity through harsh, arid days,which melted into frigid nights, I fell into asort of stupor. My subconscious mind'sdefense mechanisms woke me up, and for thefirst time since weariness and fever hadclouded my mind I had what alcoholics referto as "a moment of clarity."

"I sometimes wish Lhadn't. For it was inthis brief moment that I lost all confidence inmy leadership in particular and the Army onthe whole."

His team had been driving for severaldays after leaving Baghdad for the city of

Tikrit. The sweltering days bled into oneanother as the team made their way toSaddam's hometown.

"After a time, I was finally able toclose my frightened, weary eyes forabout 3 hours. That's about how longit took for everything to go horribly

wrong-When he fell asleep, they were driving in

a Humvee somewhere north of Baghdad."The really dangerous part of the country

known as lraq, for those of us wearing U.S.flags on our right shoulders."

Suddenly, his mind woke himup. As if he were in a private

viewing room, he looked

voice of the Captain in commaod of myHumve€.

'Sir?' I heard the soldier version of mesay.

'Grab your NVG's and get your ass overhere.'

'Moving Sir.'". Numb, he started moving forward when

he heard the captain bark,"Look out for that unexploded RPG!"Without thinking, he jumped into auto-

pilot and leapt, at the last secon4 over thered-lighted rocket-propelled grenade directlyin his path.

"My conscious mind screamed a violentstring of profanities, jolting me out of theLaz-Y-Boy in my head.

The soldier running things pushed meback down with a look that told me:

"Keep chillin,' flock of seagulls, I got thisone."

In great bounding strides, his body cov-ered the desert terrain easily and topped theridge from where his Captain had beckonedhim.

"Sliding into a ready position next to theofficer, I covered the unknown darkness withmy weapon.

'Here you go, Sir.' The soldier said as he. handed the captain a pair of night-vision gog-

gles.'What the hell is going on here, sir?' I

heard myself ask with some authority.'Look behind you, Sergeant.'As I did, the soldier in me felt his heart

break; for the sight made him realize his supe-riors had no idea what the hell was going on,or any interest in his, or anyone else's well-being. He knew now that they hadn't beenkilled yet, not out of careful, skilled planningon their part, but out of sheer luck on his.

I stood slowly from the recliner in mymind, ietting (the soldier) sit in my place. Hesat there broken. He sits broken still. I tookhis grip on the weapon that has never fit myhands quiet right and said,

'This ain't good, sir. "'. All things considered, it was the perfectolace for an ambush.

We'veGotSpiritMetro Cheerleaders prepare for year of competition

byhnnilmpllei@ian

Metro Cheerleaders will at0ead a four daycamp in Dallas ftom July 31 to Aug, 3 to deter-mine if the squad will participate in theDivision II national tournament at Daytonanext April.

Jhey also plan to compete in Las Vegas andKansas City in December. Lack of fimds hasprevented them from taking part in previouscompetitions.

"I'n really exited about this year's squad,"said Head Coach Brianna Newland. "Practiceis going very well. For the suoner, it's basi-cally just technique stuff, releaming things,kind ofjust introducing them to me, and how Ifimction as a coach, and my expectations ofthem."

Commrmicating well with teammates andstaying focused is what is needed most, accord-ing to Newland, who describes this year's rou-tines as "daring."

'w'e always like to get that whole 'Ahh'

reaction from the crowd," she said.Besides practicing, team members work at

Red Rocks Amphitheatre and lnvesco Field,checking tickeg and directing parking traffic, .to pay for new uniforms and transportation tothe toumaments. They also sell an assorfin€ntof proilucts, from candles to cookie dough andChristmas decorations,

There is no rest for Metro's cheerleaders.Training and preparation for school sportingevents is a yearlong process- Practices are heldthree tirnes a week and team members mustmaintain optimal conditioning to prevent-injuries.and endure the stress their bodies haveto bear. such as a strained back or shoulder or a

just jumping up and down andscreaming," says team captainCallie Hansen. "But we work real-ly hard to represent Meto well."

"I really want us to make aname for Metro," said sophomoreApril Cooper. "We don't have a lotof support so we ar€ our support.There are a lot injuries, frustrationand disagreements, but we lovewhat we do. It takes commitment.You have to be willing to stick itout. When you fall, when you getinjured, when you get angry, youhave to be able to put all that asideand work."

Senior Nicole Pacheco said thatcheerleaders who are just startingout "don't know what to expect,and when they get all this new stufthmwn at them like building pyra-mids and gefting tossed l5 up in theair, it's scary."

A baseball and football playerin higb scbool Sophomore ChrisNiemeyer says cheerleading is themost challenging.
