Th e Student Government Assembly approved a resolution on Aug. 19 that will provide Metro students with free bike repairs while on campus.

Th e SGA hopes the service will empow-er students to ride their bikes to campus, a goal that coincides with Metro’s commit-ment to promote a culture of sustainability on campus.

“Th is program is off ered by the SGA to real students for their fee dollars,” SGA Sen. Jeff ery Washington said. “We understand that our budget comes from their fees.”

A total of $4,640 is needed to purchase tool kits, bike stands, a compressor and cleaning and lube supplies. SGA President Jesse Altum is not convinced that this will be enough money to purchase the neces-sary supplies and staff the repair service full-time.

“I’m supportive of the SGA getting more involved in student services, but I don’t think $4,600 will be enough.” Altum said. “I’ve been up to CU and seen their bike

repair shop and it’s like a little store.”Although Washington is hopeful that

the repair service will be running sometime this fall, Altum is slightly less optimistic about the timetable.

“I don’t see it being set up until the spring time, and even that’s a loft y goal.”

Th e SGA also voted on, and rejected, a resolution which would allocate $1,000 to the SGA’s apparel budget to be used on the purchase of letter jackets.

According to the resolution, draft ed by SGA Vice President Tesa J. Johnson Ferrell Jones and Washington, the jackets would be used “for the purpose of brand recognition, advertising, and team cohesion.”

Washington said that the jackets would promote the SGA and bring a certain amount of “prestige” to the job. However, other senators thought that the best means of promotion come from face-to-face net-working.

Sen. Jason Dirgo responded to the argu-ment saying, “We have business cards to get our name out. How would [letter jackets] support our students?”

Th e resolution failed 5-2.

O’Brien also said that while events like the Masquerade Ball were not as successful as she had hoped, they do serve a purpose in con-necting campus organizations to one another.

In the future, O’Brien hopes events like the Masquerade Ball and the Valentine’s Day din-ner could be combined to provide a format for organizations to interact while saving costs.

While the SGA spent more than in previ-ous years for homecoming, O’Brien wanted to put that number into context.

“If you look at other schools, they drop like $80,000 on their homecoming,” O’Brien said.

Metro’s neighbor to the north, the Uni-versity of Colorado at Boulder, spent $33,852 on its fall 2010 homecoming week. One of the major draws of CU Boulder’s homecom-ing week is the midweek concert according to Kaela Zihlman, CU Boulder’s Student Govern-ment Director of Homecoming.

The concert this year featured national recording artist RJD2 and was sold out of its 1,100 tickets.

Zihlman said that the student government budget for homecoming varies year-to-year depending on which musical group they bring to campus. The year before she estimated the student government spent around $50,000.

O’Brien wanted to see Metro pull in a big name to perform at next year’s homecoming. The Committee tried to bring in a comedian for this year’s event but faced difficulties try-ing to book one.

While attendance was sporadic for home-

coming, O’Brien believes there is a desire for such events on campus.

“I think students here do want some of that traditional college experience, or at least the availability of it…students do have a lot of pride in this school,” O’Brien said.

The SGA might be getting some of their final bill covered by the Alumni Association. O’Brien at press time was waiting for the Alumni Association’s final tally of their ex-penses. Since the Alumni Association did not spend their total budget of $10,000, there is a chance that some of the unspent money will end up going to the SGA to help cover their expenses.

In the past, SGA and the Alumni Associa-tion did not work together to help plan Home-coming Week. This year was the first time that the SGA had participated heavily in the planning and execution of the event with the Alumni Association.

“We were impressed by the commitment of the students to make things happen. We learned a lot and are excited to build on this year’s success to make next year’s homecom-ing even more special. Homecoming should be and will be a tradition of note at Metro,” said Mark Jastorff, director of Alumni Relations for Metro.

While members of the Homecoming Com-mittee were pleased with this year’s events, planning has already begun on next year’s event.

“I’m hoping to come back in five years and the parade is bigger and the social’s are bigger and the bonfire is bigger,” O’Brien said.

Team hopes to recruit outside sponsors to help tackle expected costs

By Ben [email protected]

The formation of Metro’s club football team will bring a new look to the sports land-scape on campus, along with a need for an es-timated $85,000 total budget.

The formation of a football team also brings the possibility of shrinking budgets for Metro’s other club teams, as all of the teams are competing for the same money from the club sports department.

“Absolutely that will happen,” Jon Supsic, club sports director said. “It’s a new system than in previous years. But the top team usual-ly gets 15 to 20 percent of the overall budget.”

While the overall budget of the club sports department was not available at the time of print, Supsic estimates the top team receives about $1,500-$1,800 from his offi ce.

With 60 players on the team and a pos-sible 110 total on the roster come fall, $1,800 would be well short of reaching the goal in which players pay nothing.

“Right now, players are paying about $400, [for equipment],” Football Club Presi-dent Ted Reynolds said. “We don’t want them to have to pay anything. We are not charging club dues like most clubs, just equipment.”

Players must buy their shoulder pads and helmets through Metro, whereas other equip-

ment like cleats and gloves can be purchased anywhere. The equipment purchased through Metro was supplied by Denver Athletic, and sold to the players at a reduced cost.

The amount of money each club receives from the club sports department varies based upon several factors, including community service involvement, how competitive the clubs are, and how much money the clubs themselves have raised.

After the club points are tallied, the money is doled out based on accumulated points.

However, even though the football team has more expenditures than other club teams; the points system forces them to earn the mon-ey just like all of the other clubs.

“[The team] was just established,” Supsic said. “They are on the bottom, they have to prove themselves [to receive the money.]”

Since club football formed in October 2010, the team has already spent about $15,000, money donated by outside sponsors.

Reynolds, said he,believes they will need an estimated $60,000 more between now and the end of their season in the fall. As of March 8, the club’s account had $600 in it.

To help bolster the budget, the team plans to hold fundraisers and partner with various sponsors, Reynolds said.

“Sponsors are still trickling in,” he said. “The hope is that more will come when they see our program’s success.

“Myself and a group of fi ve other people are extremely dedicated,” Reynolds said. “We are hard workers. We just have to start small and build up.”

Blitz Paintball, an already active sponsor of the team, is considering a paintball tourna-ment fundraiser for the club. The Marine Of-fi cers are also sponsoring the team, and they are looking into a boot-camp-style fundraiser as well, Reynolds said.

The team has other non-traditional fund-raising ideas.

Events such as a trampoline dodge ball tournament, a March Madness pool and a youth summer camp will be looked into, as the team tries to raise money and cut costs for the 60 players who are already on the team.

Reynolds would also like to give a fi nancial break to students on campus who want to sup-port their new football team. Contrary to the advice he received, Reynolds decided not to charge students an admission fee to the games.

Non-students will be charged $5 for ad-mission, but students and children under 5 will be able to get in for free.

“Students should be able to support their team without paying for it,” Reynolds said.

Reynolds said he wants the club team to be as close to an NCAA experience as possible.

“Once this really gets going, it’s not going to be a small program,” Reynolds said. “We want to build the guys as student athletes. We want the players to be ambassadors and repre-sent the program in a high manner.”

To help instill ambassadorship into the program, the team is attempting to organize a charity game in the fall. The proceeds will go to breast cancer research, and the team hopes to play an NCAA Division I team to help bolster awareness about the game and increase the

proceeds that will come from it. “It’s a lot of hard work but I’m extremely

passionate,” Reynolds said. “No matter what I do I love doing it, no matter how much time it takes.”

Reynolds said he and his staff are ready to put in time and see their ideas take shape. “We envision the success we can have,” he said. “If you build it, they will come.”

Story and Photo by Ian Gassman [email protected]

Thai food is addictive — just like any other drug. Since my fi rst bite, I’ve been hooked. Some days I even fi nd myself wandering into a small restaurant called U.S. Thai Café, hop-ing to procure another forkful of pad thai or steaming hot curry.

During my last visit, I tried to nonchalantly chat with the waitress, but my shaking hands and shifting eyes indicated I needed another fi x. She quickly scribbled down my order and pushed a glass of water my way. I waited and prepared to fall once more into the mouth-watering void.

Despite the fact that U.S. Thai Café thrives off of repeat customers, it isn’t a drug den. Located in Edge-water at 5228 W. 25th Ave., this restaurant is simply one of the best Thai spots in town. While there are numerous reviews to support that claim, the hardworking chef, Aung Kyaw, proves it every day.

Born in Myanmar and raised in Thailand, Kyaw has spent plenty of time around Thai cuisine. Not only is he a master of balancing the com-ponents found in every traditional

dish, he also cooks with fresh, qual-ity ingredients and brings textures to life. From the amount of spice to the crunch of a carrot, Kyaw has the en-tire spectrum covered.

The chef ’s pad thai features succulent shrimp and small strips of chicken on a bed of rice noodles, complimented by an aromatic pea-nut sauce and a wedge of lime. How-ever, no amount of earthy peanut sauce or tart citrus can extinguish the red chili fl akes burning under-neath the unassuming noodles.

Not to be outdone, the paneng curry is fl ush with smoldering, com-plex fl avors. The paneng’s gravy-like broth uses a subtle mixture of basil, peanut and sweet coconut milk to in-vite the senses inside. A few seconds later, it scolds them for not taking their shoes off with a scalding af-terburn of appetizing heat. The best part is the broth makes the meat nice and tender.

Admittedly, I’m a wimp when it comes to spicy foods. The curry made me sweat at a mere “mild plus” classifi cation. Of course, anyone can choose how much heat they’d like by asking for a “mild” dash of spice all

the way up to a “hot” helping. Take heed, because “hot” translates to, “Please refi ll my water, for the love of God!”

Though this fi ery essence draws patrons deeper down the path of spice-addled addiction, at least it’s quick and inexpensive. Most of the curries are $8.15, the noodle plates run $7.95, and two crispy, Thai-style egg rolls are just $3.50. And because Kyaw is so effi cient, almost all of the dishes come out in less than 15 minute

Like the outdoor kitchens that populate the streets of Bangkok, U.S. Thai Café takes price into consider-ation and has an authentic and effi -cient chef on its side.

The Buckeyes are an experienced disciplined team. They have a balanced attack and don’t turn the ball over.

Their weak on the defensive end, but their offense can make up for it. Look for the Panthers to breeze into the Final Four.

The Aztecs are experienced, athletic and balanced this year. For them to go far they need to be able to score both inside and out.

The Morris brothers have been dominant all year. But turnovers could be a potential problem for the Jayhawks.

I’ll go out on a line and say the Buckeyes hit a buzzer-beater against North Carolina to squeak into the Final Four.

The Panthers enjoy the softest bracket in the tournament this year and coast into the Final Four.

Texas keeps their dancin’ shoes on by stunning Duke and topping Connecticut to advance.

The Morris brothers. Need I say more?

The team struggled early in the ACC tournament. Look for Freshman Harrison Barnes to have a huge part of their run.

An overrated No. 2 seed + a No. 3 seed missing a player + a No. 4 seed ripe for upset in the first round = Final Four for Panthers.

This team is good, but I am betting that freshman Kyrie Irving returns to help the team win back-to-back titles.

This team was fighting for a possible No. 1 seed last week. The Irish will come out and win, or give Irishmen another reason to drink.

I expect my least favorite team, Ohio State, to choke in the regional semifinals and lose to the Wildcats.

I love watching this squad play. Despite the loss of Brandon Davies, BYU still has a great cast including, Jimmer Fredette.

It’s hard not to put Duke in the Final Four. With a great coach and a great team, they should give Kansas a handful.

I will still put my money on Kansas despite last year’s abrupt end. They are my favorite team and I will root for them always.

Time might be up for Tivoli Taco BellLease set to expire; committee invites other parties to apply

By Cody [email protected]

The Student Advisory Com-mittee to the Auraria Board has as-sembled the Food Vendor Committee to possibly replace Taco Bell in the Tivoli and organize more outdoor vendors at Auraria.

The committee and the Auraria Higher Education Center are focus-ing on solidifying a lease agreement for the spots in the Tivoli that Taco Bell and Wok and Roll currently oc-cupy. Taco Bell’s lease is up this sum-mer, and Wok and Roll’s ends the summer of 2012.

“For me, the top priority is look-ing at the two vendors in the food court, (Taco Bell and Wok and Roll) and then exploring new spaces out-doors for new food and drink ven-dors,” said Jonathan Raabe, Univer-sity of Colorado at Denver SACAB representative and Food Vendor Committee Chairman.

First SACAB has to decide

whether it is going to bid for the spots or extend the contracts for one or both vendors. The committee will make its recommendations, but SA-CAB will ultimately make the final

decision, Raabe said.According to AHEC Finance and

Programs Director Dave Caldwell, if students particularly want a specific vendor, SACAB and AHEC will try to

accommodate their selection. SACAB will send out a request

for proposals to which interested parties and the two existing vendors may apply.

“It’s up to our students,” Caldwell said. “This Food Vendor Committee will receive all of the proposals. They will evaluate them, they will score, them and they will rank them.”

The leading vendors will have a chance to officially present them-selves to SACAB. The committee will then decide which business they wish to negotiate a contract with.

The committee is also looking to improve Auraria’s outdoor vendor selection, Raabe said.

The committee took a walk through the campus Feb. 25 looking for possible locations for future ven-dors. Auraria currently has only two outdoor vendors.

“I would love to see miniature cafés outside where you have one or two carts set up next to each other and they maintain [an area of] chairs and tables outdoors,” Raabe said. “We can create these little zones to where, if you’re outside on a nice day, you can stop by, sit down and have some food.”

The committee will have its next meeting March 4. Taco Bell is going through the first step of the leasing process and will present its introduc-tion at the meeting, Raabe said.
