Welcome to CU
What will you do with your time here?
W
elcome to the first day of your future. If you’re a freshman, the next four years (give or take a semester) promise to be some of the most exciting, challenging and life-changing you’ll ever experience. Chances are, when you leave CU you won’t be the same person you were when you got here. And that’s a great thing. You’ll be smarter, more mature, more experienced and, hopefully, making more money than you are right now. There’s a lot to do in the coming months and years, and we want you to do it all. Try a little of this,
check out a little of that, find out what you love and go for it. There’s no better time or place to test your limits and explore your options. From student clubs to the great outdoors to academic challenges and bustling nightlife, CU and the city of Boulder are full of opportunities just waiting to be seized. Of course, there are some things to look out for and times when you need to be a bit more cautious, but that’s just part of being an adult. So check out our new edition of Student Guide for tips on what and what not to do, where to go, how to have fun and how to make the most of your all-too-brief time as a Buff!

~A~ Alcohol poisoning — No, it’s not letting your beer go skunky or someone mixing you a bad cocktail. Alcohol poisoning is drinking so much so quickly that your body can’t even gag. Some symptoms include irregular breathing, hypothermia, seizures, turning blue, uncontrollable vomiting (that’ll impress your date), loss of consciousness and death. Remember, you came here to get smart. Don’t be a dumbass.
even less likely in Boulder. Roger Ebert swings through town pretty much every year, and CU hosts its famous International Film Series. With films ranging from classic to kooky to cult, you’d have to flat-out hate movies to not find something you like.
Glenn J. Asakawa/University of Colorado
~J~ Jail — Where you might end up if you believe all that hype about how marijuana-friendly Boulder is. Laws are laws, kids, and recreational tokin’ still ain’t legal.
~B~ Breck(enridge) — One of the many (many, many) great spots to ski around Colorado. That’s half the reason you picked CU in the first place, right? And if you want to sound like a seasoned ski bum, call it Breck, just like it was an old friend. ~C~ Carbon footprint — In most places, people might ask if you’ve heard of a “carbon footprint.” Here, we ask if you know what your carbon footprint is, if you know how to reduce it, and if you know what the carbon footprint of that soda you’re drinking is. ~D~ Dispensary — You might have heard that using marijuana for medical purposes is legal in Colorado. Well, all those afflicted masses in their early 20s need somewhere to get their relief, which is why in Boulder County we have dozens of dispensaries, ranging in class from something that looks like your friend’s basement to establishments with more ambience than most clubs. ~E~ Elevation — Here in Boulder, we’re even higher than the Mile High City, so if you’re coming from the lowlands back East, get ready for a body shock. Sure, you might have been able to jog for an hour on flat, sea-level land, but be prepared to train yourself up all 4 August 19, 2010
~K~ Kayaking — We’re into extreme here, and what could be more extreme than hurtling down a steep mountain ravine in your own plastic torpedo? You don’t even have to leave town to do it, either. Just check out all the weekend warriors bobbing down Boulder Creek. ~L~ Laser Light Shows — You might not have been to a planetarium since that second-grade field trip, but every Friday Fiske Planetarium has a program for adults: its famous Laser Light Shows — one Pink Floyd set and one flavor of the week. It’s a perfect (and cheap) night out if you’re in the mood for a trippy experience. Just remember: no smoking in the building.
CU students on Norlin Quadrangle
Boulder A to Z Some words to the wise by Boulder Weekly Staff over again. There’s a reason Kenyan marathoners come here to train, and it’s not for the views. ~F~ 4/20 — Yes, Boulder has one of the biggest “smoke-outs” in the country, but don’t let that fool you into thinking it’s a free-for-all here. The city has cops and it knows how to use them. (If you want the story behind the 4/20 name, though, check out Boulder Weekly’s April 15 issue for the lowdown. Yeah, we’re cool like that.) Fiske — See “Laser Light Shows”
~G~ Ganja — See “Dispensary” ~H~ Hiking — When it’s not snowing (or even when it is, if you’re brave) Boulder is just lousy with great hiking trails. If you need some guidance, check out www.naturehikes.org or ask some locals. Everyone’s got a favorite trail, path or climb. ~I~ IFS — How often have you heard someone say, “I don’t really like movies”? Probably not that often, and it’s
~M~ Microbrews — Sure, a lot of people drink PBR because it’s “authentic.” It’s also “really bad.” If you want a side of actual flavor with your alcohol (and if you’re of age, of course), check out the dozens of local breweries and brewpubs in and around Boulder. Your taste buds will thank you. ~N~ NightRide — Know what’s even better than partying all night? Getting home in one piece. That’s where CU’s see BOULDER A TO Z Page 7

NightRide service comes in. Just call 303-492-7233 any time after dark, and they’ll get your butt home. It’s also great if you just don’t feel safe trekking home five miles in the dark all by your lonesome. For more info, check out umc.colorado.edu/nrnw. ~O~ OSMP — Open Space and Mountain Parks are the nice folks that bring you all this, well, open space and mountain parks. Makes sense, when you think about it. Funded by sales tax, OSMP takes care of some 45,000 acres of land. Next time you gripe about high prices in Boulder, remember that part of every dollar goes to giving you some of the best hiking and climbing in the nation. ~P~ Pearl Street Mall — It’s that place you take your parents when they come to town and you want to divert their attention from the debt you’ve racked up from all of the partying you’ve been doing. Prius — You see, it’s actually a government requirement for Boulder residents to own a Toyota Prius or other hybrid car. Didn’t anyone tell you? What are you waiting for, then? Get thee to a dealer! ~Q~ Quantum physics — It seems not everyone came to Boulder to ski. The smart folks in the physics department came here to study tiny particles, smash atoms and tell us just where the heck the universe came from anyway. They’re even involved with the Large Hadron Collider project near Geneva. Maybe they go skiing when they’re over there in the Alps. Those smart bastards. ~R~ Rams — Our deadliest foes, otherwise known as Colorado State. Anyone caught consorting with a Rams fan will be dealt with. Swiftly. ~S~ Silver and Gold — The University’s official colors. Black was tacked on unofficially so that the football players could have snazzier, meaner-looking uniforms. (Can you imagine players decked out in silver and gold lamè?) Snowboarding — Skiing’s hip younger brother, snowboarding is conBoulder Weekly
sidered an easier introduction to snow sports by some. We’ll leave the choice to you: would you rather be strapped to one plank of wood or two while you hurtle down a mountain? ~T~ Tubing — Ever feel like cruising down a raging creek with your butt hanging down low enough to scrape rocks? Then tubing is just the thing for you! Trails — See “Hiking” ~U~ UCAR — University Corporation for Atmospheric Research. With more than 70 collaborating universities, UCAR is one of Boulder’s many world-famous scientific organizations. UCAR manages NCAR (the National Center for Atmospheric Research), the big sandstone building perched on top of Table Mesa. ~V~ Vegan — The other requirement for living in Boulder. If you don’t drive a Prius and aren’t a vegan, don’t even bother. ~W~ Weed — See “Dispensary” ~X~ Xeriscape — It might sound like a cool new sci-fi novel, but xeriscape refers to a gardening practice that uses minimal amounts of water. We live in a pretty arid place, and growing native plants and grasses helps save what little water we do have. Save your hydrangea for Seattle. ~Y~ Yoga — Oh, yeah, the third requirement for being a true Boulderite. You did remember to bring your yoga mat, right? Boulder is a virtual mecca not just for yoga students, but for teachers as well. ~Z~ Zero Waste — Ever notice how trashed most places look after a football game or big party? Not Folsom Field. The Buffs’ stadium is committed to the ideal of “zero waste,” which means composting, recycling or reusing stuff instead of dumping it in a landfill. For more on zero waste, visit www.ecocycle.org or talk to the folks at CU’s Environmental Center.

ex, sex, sex. Now that we’ve got your attention, let’s talk about a few serious issues. Depending on your personal background, you might feel confident in your sexual knowledge, or you might have an unanswered question or two. Luckily, CU has more resources than you can shake your groove thang at. For female students, the Women’s Clinic at Wardenburg Health Center is often the first stop for information, sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing, birth control, walk-in pregnancy tests, emergency contraception and free condoms. They also offer the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine at low or reduced costs to students. This vaccine protects women from the four most common strains of the infection, which, in some cases, can cause genital warts and cervical cancer. HPV is so common, the CDC estimates, that half of all sexually active men and women will contract it at some point in their lives. For more information, call the Women’s Health Clinic at 303-492-2030. Guys can get their STI screenings and have their questions answered at Wardenburg’s main medical clinic, on the first floor. To schedule an appointment, or if you have any questions, call 303-492-5432. STI testing is free for students under both the Wardenburg Campus Care insurance plan and the Student Gold insurance plan, so you have no reason not to get it done. Your partner will thank you. Another valuable resource for sex information is the community health department, located in Room 411 of the UMC. While community health addresses a number of public health issues, from stress to the flu to relationship concerns, staff and volunteers can also help you get the information you need when it comes to being sexually active. And, like Wardenburg, they keep a stash of free condoms and samples of lubrication on hand.

you’ll have your results in around 10 minutes. For off-campus resources, Boulder County Public Health (www.bouldercounty.org/ health) offers HIV testing and counseling, and the Boulder County AIDS Project (www. bcap.org) offers support for those who have tested positive. Don’t rely on your own visual assessment when deciding if the person you’re with is “safe.” Just because the guy or girl you’re about to get with isn’t oozing and discharging at this very moment doesn’t mean they’re clean and clear. Remember, many people with STIs don’t show symptoms all the time. “Any person that you have sex with can have any of these things,” Kintzing says. So how do you stay safe? Abstinence is the surest way to safety. After all, you can’t get wet if you don’t get in the pool. If you do decide to test the waters, though, condoms — and knowing how to use them properly — are a great start. Use them every time, for the entire time. Also, Kintzing warns against mixing sex and alcohol. While you might think it helps “grease the wheels,” so to speak, it also clouds your judgment, lowers your inhibitions and kills your dexterity. Putting on a condom isn’t rocket science, but it does help if you can still see straight to do it. Communication is another important tool at your disposal. Use your words. Tell your partner what you want — or don’t want. Sex should be fun and safe for everyone involved, so don’t be afraid to make your voice heard. Other resources for exploring the ins and outs (no pun intended) of sexuality (and not just how to “do it”) include the Women’s Resource Center (www.colorado.edu/WomensResourceCenter), the GayStraight Alliance (www.colorado.edu/StudentGroups/ cugsa) and, in the community, Planned Parenthood (www.plannedparenthood.org).
Pay heed when doing the deed by Katherine Creel One of the most important things to know about sex is that it’s first and foremost a personal choice. If you want to refrain, refrain. If you want to experiment, experiment. Just make sure you do it safely, of course. So what are some of the things we want you to stay safe from? Patricia Kintzing, a nurse at the Women’s Clinic, says that along with HPV, the bacterial infection chlamydia is one of the most common STIs she sees among students. Symptoms, if they do appear, include abnormal discharge, burning sensation when urinating, and itching. Even worse, it can damage a woman’s reproductive ability if left untreated. Chlamydia can be treated with antibiotics, but it’s best to catch it early. The other STI that Wardenburg screens for when you go in to get tested is gonorrhea, also a bacterial infection. Symptoms for men can include white, yellow or green discharge from the penis, and sometimes painful or swollen testicles. For women, symptoms are usually mild and can include painful urination and increased discharge. Untreated, gonorrhea can cause a host of other health problems, including infertility and even death in rare cases. One of the most serious dangers of unprotected sex is HIV. Because early detection helps protect you and your potential partners, community health offers free, confidential HIV testing for CU students throughout the year. The test itself is quick, and

Meet CU’s alcohol and drug policies by Katherine Creel
W
have a legitimate medical marijuana card can’t light up on campus. For freshmen, who are normally required to live on campus their first year, exceptions can be made that allow those with a medial marijuana card to pursue off-campus housing when necessary. We can hear you asking it now: But what about 4/20? The infamous “smoke out” event, which draws some 8,000 people to Norlin Quad each April for a mass toke, is not legal. It’s definitely not CU-sponsored and, according to Hilliard, it’s not even that popular with CU students. “Unless CU students have magically aged into their late 20s and 30s, most of these people aren’t CU students,” he says. Many people on campus, faculty and students alike, complain about the traffic, the smoke and the mess left behind, Hilliard says. (If you want to read about how the 4/20 tradition reportedly started, check out our April 15 story at www.boulderweekly.com.)
elcome to campus. For you freshmen in the audience, you now have more than 20,000 new neighbors, and you’ll be spending the next nine months (at least) in each others’ back pockets. To make sure life goes as smoothly as possible for everyone, CU’s Office of Student Conduct has created the Student Conduct Code, which includes a few policies you might want to think about before you get too smashed.
[
What about marijuana? Isn’t it OK in Boulder? Aren’t there medical cards for that?
]
Alcohol The policy freshmen most often run afoul of is alcohol. It’s simple, really. If you’re under 21 years old, you can’t drink. If the police catch you drinking or even holding an alcoholic beverage, then it’s a “minor in possession” summons, or MIP for short. The legal consequences can be severe, including fines, community service and, most importantly, a permanent record. And that’s before the university has its say. According to CU spokesman Bronson Hilliard, the university has stepped up both its punitive and preventative measures concerning alcohol infractions. The Office of Student Conduct carries out its own investigations into suspected incidents, and if they find out a minor has been drinking, consequences can range from suspension to mandatory alcohol education classes to a call home to your parents, depending on the circumstances of the case. Oh, and those mandatory classes aren’t free. They’re more than $100 for a first-time offense, and the cost only

goes up after that. Beer is cheap. Drinking isn’t. Don’t think you have to drink to fit in, either. According to Hilliard, roughly 30 percent of incoming CU students reported that they don’t drink and don’t want to. And with the university providing so many alcohol-free activities, often for free, they don’t really have to. Drugs Obviously you can’t do meth, cocaine or heroin on campus (or anywhere in Boulder), but you knew that, right? But what about marijuana? Isn’t it OK in Boulder? Aren’t there medical cards for that? Not on campus there aren’t. Even students who
Weapons Current legal wrangling over the constitutionality of gun bans on campus notwithstanding, CU’s policy on weapons has not changed: The answer is no. No guns, no knives (hunting, pocket or otherwise), no swords, no stun guns and no other weapons are allowed on campus. End of story. Not even replicas of weapons, by the way. Everyone has a right to feel safe on campus, so leave your arsenal and ammunition at home with mom and dad. All of these rules might sound like a buzz kill, but remember: These rules are here to keep you safe and sane. Do you really want some drunk, naked guy tearing around your dorm at two in the morning with a loaded gun and a spliff? For a complete list of things not to do, advice on what to do if you do them anyway, and things you can do instead, visit the Office of Student Conduct website at www.colorado.edu/studentaffairs/studentconduct.

S
o, you’ve paid your dues in the dorms and are ready to move away from the tyranny of RAs and floor monitors and into your first place. There’s a big, enticing world of rental properties out there, and Craigslist has literally hundreds of apartments posted each day for your perusal. You might be feeling like a kid in a candy store. And you’re right to feel that way. But you have to be careful. Getting your own place requires signing an extremely complicated legal contract called a lease, and the terms of the lease can make or break any sort of conflict or disagreement that may come up with your landlord in the future. “There’s a natural inequity in landlord-tenant law,” says Bruce Sarbaugh, legal advisor for the University of Colorado’s Off-Campus Student Services office. “The landlords have a much stronger negotiating position. So you take that natural inequity and impose it on the freshmen who are coming out of the door that are firsttime renters and don’t know any better, all they want to do is find a place to live. ... If they do have a problem, then it falls back to the lease.” So naturally, you want to make sure that your lease is as fair as possible. The great thing about legal contracts is that everything is negotiable, including rent. This should be the foremost lesson in your mind when you are signing a lease. Ever looked at a used car and heard the salesman say you’d better act quickly, because five other people are interested? Some landlords do that too. It’s called creating false demand, and it’s a classic sales technique. Don’t fall for it. If you think the landlord is asking for too much rent, don’t be afraid to say you’ll only sign the lease if the price comes down. What else should you be on the lookout for? Nearly every lease includes some sort of language about repairs. This clause defines who is responsible for the cost of repairs if something in the apartment breaks. The fairest clause says that the landlord is responsible for all repairs to the place’s amenities unless caused by the tenant’s (your) negligence. So the landlord would be on the hook if your dishwasher starts leaking or your fridge stops working, but you and your roommates would be responsible if, say, you put a dent in a doorway while moving a couch, or your friend kicks a hole in the wall after losing a game of beer pong. Make sure there is a repair clause in the lease, regardless of the exact wording. Some leases, Sarbaugh
Another concern is privacy. Say you’re sitting on the couch the day after hosting a raging party, relaxing with your favorite herbal remedy and watching TV before you clean up. All of a sudden your landlord, whose opinion on herbal supplements differs from yours, unlocks your door and enters, unannounced. This scenario could have been prevented by including a privacy clause in your lease, which says that the landlord must give you notice before entering the premises of the home. But often times, Sarbaugh says, leases will vaguely define the notice to be “reasonable,” and that means different things to different people. So cross it out and write “24 hours” in the margins and get your landlord to initial it. When you’re reading your lease, Sarbaugh recommends being on the lookout for “unenforceable penalties.” “When you violate a lease, that’s a breach of contract; the general principles are that the non-breaching party, in this case the landlord, is entitled to recover any monetary damages you cause because you breached the lease,” Sarbaugh says. Say your lease doesn’t allow pets, even visiting ones, and includes a $500 penalty for having a visiting pet on the property. Your friend brings a dog over and you two share a beer on the front porch. The landlord walks by, sees the dog on the porch, and fines you $500. “The dog didn’t go inside the property, so there’s no monetary loss the landlord has suffered, so that’s what would be called an unenforceable penalty, because the landlord is trying to penalize you for breaking the lease as opposed to trying to get back what would make them whole,” Sarbaugh says. Last but not least, Sarbaugh recommends getting renter’s insurance. Renter’s insurance will cover any damages to your property (or the landlord’s) in case of many different types of accidents. Ask your parents first, because their homeowner’s insurance might cover you as well. Be a respectful and informed tenant and you won’t run into any issues. And keep in mind that the folks at the Off-Campus Student Services (OCSS) office can help you look over your lease and offer many other services, and the folks at Legal Services will assist you with any legal trouble you may encounter. You can find the OCSS office in UMC 313, and you can reach them with any questions you might have at 303-492-7053.
Be careful what you sign
A renter’s guide to negotiating a lease

by David Accomazzo says, will include language making the tenant responsible for all repairs. Avoid that at all costs. You don’t want to be paying for a water heater that will last 20 years if you’re only living there for 12 months. So be careful. To minimize any potential trouble, it’s a good idea to document the condition of the residence at the beginning of your lease. Use a digital camera to photograph every room of the house/apartment, paying careful attention to scratches, dents, paint and any other markings. Save the pictures to a folder in your computer and forget about them until it’s time to move out. Having photographic evidence will prove invaluable should a dispute arise. Don’t be afraid to fight back if your landlord does something you consider unfair. “It takes an informed tenant to really exercise their rights,” Sarbaugh says. “And some of that means you may have to go to small claims court. A lot of students, I think, think it’s not worth their time. I’ll go ahead and pay the $20 because I didn’t change a light bulb — light bulbs aren’t $20 — but students don’t want to deal with it, and believe me, landlords know that.” When signing a lease, the aphorism “get it in writing” will prove invaluable. One of Sarbaugh’s favorite sayings is that “a verbal agreement is not worth the paper it’s written on.” Getting it in writing is as simple as crossing out a part of the lease (in pen, of course), writing something else in the margins and getting the landlord to initial the change. For example, say the lease includes steep late fees if you don’t pay your rent right on the first of the month. These fees concern you, but the landlord assures you that he never charges late fees until the fifth of the month. Insist that he put that in writing — that late fees won’t apply until after the fifth of the month. If he doesn’t, that should raise a red flag. Trust what’s in the lease, not what comes out of the landlord’s mouth.

You’re in college, it’s time to get politically active by Jefferson Dodge
Y
ou’ve seen the photos from the 1960s and 1970s of students protesting on campus with their “Make love, not war” signs. Well, times may have changed, but the college years are still one of the formative periods in one’s life when it comes to political beliefs and activism. Maybe that’s because you can start voting when you’re 18. Hmm. In addition to getting involved with CU student government, there are plenty of opportunities for being politically active on a larger scale. Why not start by voting in the Nov. 2 election? Get yourself a copy of Colorado’s voter guide, commonly referred to as the “Blue Book.” It can be found online at www.colorado.gov/cs/ Satellite/CGA-LegislativeCouncil/ CLC/1200536134742. Or, just wait for Boulder Weekly’s annual Vote guide, which hits newsstands on Oct. 8. Either way, you’ll need to do your homework beforehand, as there are a buttload of initiatives on the ballot this fall. The election features everything from tax-killing measures to an antiabortion amendment. While proponents of the tax-killing measures say government has gotten too big and that people need to save all the money they can in this sluggish economy, opponents of Amendments 60 and 61 and Proposition 101 say the initiatives would effectively shut down state government, crippling crucial public services and infrastructure. The anti-abortion measure, Amendment 62, would define “personhood” as beginning at conception, effectively making abortions the equivalent of murder. Whether you lean red or blue, you need to exercise your civic duty and vote. It’s as American as apple pie, perhaps even more so. Below are some tips and deadlines to keep in mind, even for you nonresident students. • Voter registration is available 18 August 19, 2010
online in Boulder County for the first time, at www.voteboulder.org. “I think that’s going to be a huge benefit for all voters, but especially college students,” says Jessie Cornelius of the Boulder County Clerk and Recorder’s Office. • That website also has a page featuring information specifically for college students, as well as other features that let you check things like your voter status, political affiliation and address. You can change your address online, but between Oct. 4 and Election Day, you must do it in person at a clerk and recorder’s office. • In-state students living in Boulder County only temporarily may want to just register and vote in their home precinct, either by mail or in person. • For nonresidents, registering to vote is a step toward establishing Colorado residency, which could affect your financial aid, so check with your folks. You may want to just mail your vote to your precinct in your home state. • In addition to being at least 18 years old and a U.S. citizen, to register to vote you must have resided in the precinct at least 30 days prior to the election in which you intend to vote. • In addition to submitting forms by mail (Boulder County Clerk & Recorder, 1750 33rd St., Suite 200, Boulder, 80301) and fax (303-4137750), you can send them by e-mail as a signed PDF (clerkandrecorder@bouldercounty.org). • You can vote via mail-in ballot, at an early voting location (like the Student Recreation Center) or on Election Day at your assigned polling place. Mail-in ballots for those who have requested them will be mailed to voters starting Oct. 12. Oct. 26 is the last day to apply for a mail-in ballot if you want it sent to you. Early voting will be held Oct. 18 to Oct. 29. • Oct. 4 is the last day you can register to vote in the general election. • If you vote in person on Nov. 2, don’t forget to bring identification. Even CU ID cards are accepted.

For studying, there’s no place like Norlin

by Katelyn Feldhaus
hen it comes to busting out your favorite highlighter and cracking open that four-inchthick textbook, the place you choose to study is almost as important as the studying itself. Students seem to approach studying in different ways, even though they all have the same goal of making the grade and passing the class. Some students prefer to study in isolation, with no one to distract them. These studiers are the independent types, relying on their own notes and materials, cutting out the distractions to get the maximum amount of time to cram. Other students choose to work in study groups of two or more people. Bouncing ideas, answers and concepts off of another person can be valuable when the test is right around the corner. Michael Klymkowsky, professor and co-director of CU Teach, a program designed to give students handson experience with teaching and learning, says, “The environment which students are in impacts not only how they study, but what they study. Different environments offer a different vibe, and thus promote a different mood. Some students find themselves easily distracted and will therefore find the need to Boulder Weekly
be in a quiet place, such as the library. However, other students may need motivation, and they will find studying in common areas such as the UMC or in the Engineering Center more useful because in these places they can talk to their friends and hold study groups.” But no matter what kind of studier you are, there are plenty of hideaways and sweet study spots to choose from that will help you live up to your best learning potential. For bookworms who want to ditch the dorms, there are some great coffee shops and cafes that are the perfect study environment if you are not going to take the library route. The Bookend Café at 1115 Pearl St. is a favorite for many students. It is a quiet study environment, and has light music playing for ambience. There is a variety of food and snacks for students to choose from, as well as indoor and outdoor seating and Wi-Fi. Another intimate spot is Trident Booksellers Café at 940 Pearl St. If you want to grab a bite to eat while you hunker down with the books, Einstein Bros. Bagels and Noodles & Company offer free Wi-Fi and are great for study groups. Coffee shops like Folsom Street Coffee or one of the 12 Starbucks in see STUDY TIPS Page 22

afety first. Safety is no accident. Better safe than dead. OK, we made up that last one, but we think it’s catchy. After all, it can be a dangerous world out there if you don’t use a little common sense, and even on a college campus, bad things can happen to good people. The University of Colorado Police Department (CUPD) offers advice on all types of crime prevention, from theft to assault. Many of these tips are fairly obvious, but all too often ignored. Theft According to statistics available from the CUPD website, CU saw more than 400 thefts in 2008. Those thefts resulted in nearly $250,000 in losses for the victims. Here is some advice: Never leave valuables unattended. Ever. You’d be surprised what can happen in “just a few seconds.” Always lock your door. Really, why not? It takes half a second and keeps you (and your stuff ) that much safer. Get in the habit early and you won’t even have to think about it. Never prop open exterior doors. You might feel comfortable taking risks with your own personal safety, but when you live in a residence hall, your choices can affect dozens of other people. Are you really willing to put all those other students at risk just because you don’t want to bother swiping your Buff OneCard at the door? Immediately report anyone trying door handles or entering rooms. Sure, that person might have a good reason for why they’re going down the hall jiggling door handles. Maybe. Nine times out of 10 though, it’s just what it looks like, and taking two minutes to report it to an RA or the campus police could save someone a lot of hassle and heartache. Never publish personal data online. Go ahead, post about how tedious your calculus homework is or how great the powder was this weekend, but please, use some discretion. Anything you wouldn’t tell a stranger on the bus probably shouldn’t go up online. Register laptop computers with police. Both the CUPD and Boulder Police Department have laptop registration programs. While it won’t necessarily prevent theft, registration makes it far more

Some tips for keeping safe on campus by Katherine Creel
likely you’ll get your stuff back if someone does walk off with it. For more info, visit www.colorado.edu/ police/safety/laptopregistration.html. Register your bike with parking services. Bikes are a common target for thieves, and registering yours with Parking and Transportation Services (www.colorado.edu/pts/) could mean the difference between getting it back and losing it forever. Also, make sure you lock it up properly. Molly Bosley of the CUPD recommends using a solid U-lock instead of a traditional chain lock, since chains are easier to cut. U-locks are a bit pricier, running anywhere from $20 to $40 at most bike shops, but that’s a drop in the bucket compared to the cost of a new bike.
Personal safety While losing all your class notes or vacation pictures because someone jacked your laptop is bad enough, CU also sees its share of more serious crimes. In 2009, there were nine cases of forcible rape on or near campus and five aggravated assaults, according to the federally required Clery Report on campus crime statistics. While that might sound pretty scary, we’re not suggesting you hide under your bed and live in constant fear. Just follow some guidelines and do your best to keep yourself and your friends safe. CUPD has some good advice on this topic, too: Don’t drink, or at least drink responsibly. Many incidents of violence involve alcohol, either on the part of the perpetrator or the victim. It’s a given that people do stupid things when drunk, and situations can quickly escalate when beer and liquor are involved. Don’t forget, you’re also more vulnerable when you’re trashed. Don’t leave a friend who has had too much to drink. These are your friends. Watch their backs for them when they can’t, and they’ll thank you for it in the morning. After the hangover. At night, travel in well-lit areas. Attackers aren’t like vampires, who fear bright light, but a well-lit area is probably somewhat safer than that unlit, dead-end alley you were thinking about wandering down. Another option is CU’s NightRide program, which provides students with free shuttle service to, from and around campus after dark. Visit umc.colorado.edu/quicklinks/nightridePurpose.html for more information, or call 303-492-7233. Reporting crimes Do you know the really scary thing about crime statistics? They’re often under-representative of the facts because so many crimes go unreported. You can help change that by taking the time to report any suspicious incidents. You can even remain anonymous. For emergencies, of course, call 911. For non-emergency incidents, call the CUPD at 303-492-6666. To report crimes anonymously, you can visit www.colorado.edu/police and click on CU Police Anonymous Report or Northern Colorado Crime Stoppers.

STUDY TIPS from Page 19
Boulder are perfect places to get hyped up on caffeine and do some studying with free Wi-Fi. Buchanan’s Coffee Pub, located on the corner of Broadway and Pennsylvania, is said to be the best place to study on the Hill, but it can be hard to find a place to sit (and park). For people who want a diverse, on-campus study environment, the University Memorial Center (UMC) is a great pick to meet a group or study solo. The UMC offers a variety of food options, from Domino’s to Jamba Juice to the Alfred Packer Grill. If you need to jones up on some coffee, Baby Doe’s has got you covered. The UMC is a great place for meeting up with study buddies because it has tables and you don’t have to be library-quiet, but it can get loud, which may be distracting to some. “The Women’s Studies Cottage and the fifth floor of the UMC are great places to get away from the UMC crowd and study,” says CU journalism student Joy Hamilton. For the freshmen who haven’t found their niche in Norlin Library or the UMC and want to stay in the dorms, but can’t study over their roommates’ jam sessions, there are other places in the dorms that may suffice. “I like to study in the dorm laundry rooms because I can get away from the noise and throw a load in,” says Madalyn Starkey, a CU freshman living in Willard. Learn something while doing a load of laundry — sounds pretty efficient. There are also a few libraries on campus that students may not be aware of. The University libraries include five branches — Business, Earth Sciences, Engineering, Math/ Physics and Music — located around campus. Be sure you know if they have major restrictions. Check the university libraries website at www. ucblibraries.colorado.edu for more information. “Both Norlin and the UMC are good, but quite different, places for studying,” says Klymkowsky. “There are very good places scattered around
campus, like various areas in MCDB. Another great example is the BioLounge in the basement of the Museum building, which provides a very cozy place for reading and thinking.” For most students at CU, the place to go when you need to buckle down and hit the books is none other than Norlin Library. And to top it off, Norlin has a coffee shop in it, The Laughing Goat. The Laughing Goat is located in the Norlin Commons, on the east side of the first floor, and offers coffee, tea drinks, cakes, brownies, chocolate, salads, burritos and sandwiches — any study goodies that you need to keep you going when you are on your last leg. Norlin is a giant playground for the studious and offers a number of areas for the independent studiers, as well as places that welcome study groups with tables, chairs, couches, desks and cubbies. The library has a plethora of resources, from reserve desks to writing centers. There are various ITS computer labs — Mac and PC — scattered throughout the library’s five levels. Unfortunately, since Norlin is one of the best study areas in Boulder, it is also the most popular, and during nail-biting finals time, it fills up quickly. Klymkowsky advises students new to the college environment to remember one thing. “Whether you study in a group or regularly get help from your professor, you are responsible for your own learning, and you will be the one who needs to demonstrate that understanding on an exam,” he says. “Thus, make time for individual and group study sessions and make sure you can solve problems or explain concepts without the help of a solutions manual or another person. It is easy to fool yourself into thinking, ‘Oh yeah, that makes sense — I could do that,’ when looking at the worked-out solution. Students who are just beginning to learn a subject often overestimate their abilities and quit studying too early.”

Five cool gadgets for college students

Curious about Rolfing®?

ith the fall semester upon us, we’re sure most students have the necessary technological devices like an iPod, a smartphone and a laptop. But there are a number of other gadgets that could make any college student’s life that much easier. We compiled a list of five gadgets college kids ought to be looking for. Kindle The bane of any college student’s existence has to be carrying arms and backpacks full of textbooks. They’re big, they’re heavy, and once you start to use them there’s a chance you’ll be nodding off in no time. The solution? Try Amazon’s new Kindle Wireless Reading Device. The latest iteration of the Kindle hits the online store at the end of August and will feature free 3G wireless, built-in Wi-Fi, a battery life of up to one month and a hard drive than can hold more than 3,500 books. It only weighs 8.7 ounces and is so thin and compact that it barely takes up any room in a bag. Prices start at $189 at Amazon.com. Livescribe Pulse Smartpen We’ve all had that professor who doesn’t like to pass out a summary of his lesson, lectures during the entire class and speaks too fast for us to get anything down. You always end up missing key pieces in the lecture and, lo and behold, they are always questions on the exam. Fear no more — the Livescribe Pulse Smartpen is an amazing tool that has a built-in audio recorder that records the entire lecture while you’re taking notes. The pen connects the audio and the notes, so that when you’re looking over your notes later on, you can tap what you’ve written and the recorder will play what you were hearing while you were writing those specific notes. And, if needed, the pen can also spit out a nifty PDF file so you can have a copy of your scribbles on your laptop. There are 2GB and 4GB versions that start at around $128 at Amazon.com.

There’s always the threat of morning coffee spilling across the pages, and papers getting ripped, trashed or eaten by the dog. But there is a way to back up your work. SolidTek’s Digital Notebook looks like a regular clipboard, but once you put that piece of paper on there and start writing, the pad captures what you write and draw, remembering all of your strokes. Once you’re finished you can upload it to your computer as a JPG, GIF, BMP or PNG file. It has a built-in storage of 32MB with a memory card slot for expansion. Prices start at just under $140. Honeywell Weather Forecaster and Atomic Clock One of the most important things for students is waking up and getting to class on time. In an effort to make that happen on a consistent basis, students need an alarm clock that’ll get them up and moving in no time. The Honeywell Weather Forecaster and Atomic Clock displays not only the time, but also the current temperature and the day’s weather forecast — while projecting it on the ceiling or wall. The time automatically stays current with the U.S. Atomic Clock through radio signals and comes with a remote. The clock costs about $70 at Amazon.com.

or Dan Hawkins, it’s all about the little things. The University of Colorado’s much-maligned head football coach begins his fifth year at the helm focusing on details. “For us, it’s a matter of just chasing the details and chasing the little things,” Hawkins said at Big 12 Media Day. The Buffs hope to improve on their fifth-place Big 12 North finish last season, which they ended with a 2-6 record in conference play and a 3-9 record overall. Hawkins is optimistic that experience will lead to more success this season. “I think having a roster this year of a lot of guys that have played, a lot of guys that have competed, and having guys that can step up and play and know that you have to practice well every day, you’ve got to study film every day, you’ve got to be at your best every day, that leads to better Saturdays,” Hawkins says. Asked whether or not he has a timetable for determining the starting quarterback job, Hawkins remains vague. “We’ll see,” says Hawkins. “I think we’ll probably get through a couple scrimmages there and give everyone really a chance to CU Coach Dan Hawkins kind of compete and get going.” The job, which in all likelihood will be says. “But it’s very tough to get through a whole awarded to junior Tyler Hansen or the season with one guy anyway.

a kid that had a great spring for us.” The offensive line looks strong, as CU left tackle Nate Solder and right guard Ryan Miller made the All-Big 12 preseason team. “We have a lot to prove,” Solder told Wendell Barnhouse of Big12Sports.com. “I think we can get a lot done.” On the defensive side of the field, the Buffs return seven starters, including three defensive linemen: Marquez Herrod, Will Pericak and Curtis Cunningham. Safety Jalil Brown and cornerback Jimmy Smith are stars of an experienced secondary. Smith is projected by some as a late first-round or early secondround NFL draft pick. The schedule facing the Buffaloes is daunting, as usual. The non-conference schedule includes in-state rival Colorado State as well as perennial powers California and Georgia. And what is likely the last Big 12 goround before CU joins the Pac-10 features regulars such as Oklahoma, Texas Tech and Nebraska. Even with such a tough schedule, Dan Hawkins is excited for the season to begin. “I was talking to Coach Stoops out in the hallway earlier, and I’m just always fired up to go,” Hawkins says. “I really am. It seems like the older I get, too, the sooner I get fired up. It always seems about July time you’re ready to go and chomping at the bit. So [I’m] very, very excited about that.” With a new focus on details, the Buffs hope that excitement will turn into success.

iving in a college town with a Division I sports program and a few professional teams nearby, often the only athletes that show up in the local news are professional athletes or the exceptional varsity athletes from the Crew team practice University of Colorado. The ones we don’t always notice — the CU club sports athletes — have been playing 34 sports, competing against some of the best athletic schools in the country, and winning national championships left and right. The University of Colorado club sports program, established in the late 1970s, has long been a fixture of CU culture, offering those not playing Division I sports a chance to play almost any sport imaginable at a very high level. The program gives CU students the opportunity to participate in anything from rugby to freestyle skiing to water polo against other college teams from around the state, the region and the country. These student-athletes often get the chance to play for national club championships in their sport. Kris Schoech has been CU’s club sports coordinator for the past 24 years. “I think one of the reasons why clubs are so important is … not everyone’s going to be a Division I athlete, so you have to give them an opportunity to play at a certain level, and we’re giving them that level,” he says. Schoech is also proud of what the CU student-
campus and he’s not going to play Division I sports, but they still want him to play a sport and get a great education, this is a great place for him to do that.” Once students are brought in to CU, the ability for students to play club sports offers an incentive to stay in school and be involved in the CU community. “We’re a retainment tool,” Schoech says. “Once that student-athlete gets on our team, more than likely they’re going to stay for four years … They’re getting invested.” The program certainly has pulled in CU students; approximately 1,400 student-athletes participate each year. The majority of those who are active in club sports are involved in snow sports. For example, there are about 150 members of the CU snowboarding team. With so many sports, athletes and championships in the CU club sports program, how has it managed to stay relatively under the radar in the Boulder media? “Our teams are known more nationally maybe than they are locally, because locally the Boulder Daily [Camera] and some of the other prominent papers focus in on the varsity athletics and not so much on clubs,” Schoech says. It looks like Schoech and all the club studentathletes will just have to let their achievements speak for themselves. For a list of club sports available to students, visit the club sports website at www.colorado.edu/ rec-center/clubsports.

athletes have been able to accomplish, and rightfully so. Winning national championships has become a staple of the program. “In 2005, we had five national championship teams, which is unheard of,” Schoech says. Even when the Buffs’ club student-athletes don’t win national championships, they often make it to the highest level of national competition. Out of 34 teams, 21 made it to a national competition last year. “I think we’re in the top five programs in the country,” Schoech says. “And the reason why … is that each year we may not win [top championships] in every sport, but we’re [close].” Not only is the club sports program beneficial to the community of students at CU, but it is also helpful to the university in terms of bringing in prospective students. “The first thing is recruitment,” Schoech said. “If parents know that their son is coming onto

quipped with arguably the best talent the team has seen since Chauncey Billups donned the silver and gold, Colorado men’s basketball enters a new era under new head coach Tad Boyle. Last year’s squad finished eighth in a conference that sent seven teams to the NCAA tournament. They celebrated a win over Baylor, who went to the Elite Eight, and took number one Kansas to overtime. The program also won its first Big 12 road game since 2005. Following the season, former head coach Jeff Bzdelik accepted an offer from Wake Forest to become the program’s head coach. Boyle, one of three candidates interviewed by the CU search committee, was introduced on April 19, becoming the programs’ 18th head coach. Also considered was former Oregon associate head coach Mike Dunlap and Bzdelik’s top assistant while at Colorado, Steve McClain. Among many changes that will be made by Boyle, none will be larger than the switch to a more up-tempo offense. Bzdelik’s CU teams ran the Princeton offense, a slow-paced offense predicated on back cuts, milking the shot clock and making the defense make a mistake. Also, Boyle will feature more man-to-man defense than Bzdelik, who ran several variations of zone defense, while occasionally going to a man-to-man look. There is no question the Buffaloes have momentum. Construction on a state-of-the-art practice facility has begun, and there will be updated scoreboards and concessions inside the Coors Events Center. The upcoming move to the Pac-10 figures to give Colorado an image boost as well. “I think if anything, it’s brought Colorado basketball to people’s minds,” Boyle says of the conference switch during a recent teleconference. Boyle’s Buffs return all their regulars, with the exception of Dwight Thorne, who graduated last spring and who will continue his basketball

career in Germany. Among the returners, guards Cory Higgins and Alec Burks stand out from the rest. Higgins, a senior, earned an all-Big 12 selection, averaging almost 19 points per game, while pacing the rest of the conference in steals, averaging 1.9 per game. Burks, a sophomore, named Big 12 freshman of the year, tallied 17.1 points per game. He broke Billups’ record for points scored by a freshman, slashing and slamming his way to a staggering 512. For a short time, there was some uncertainty as to whether Burks, who is projected by some as an NBA lottery pick, would return following the departure of Bzdelik. “With the kind of freshman season he had, he was important to keep in the fold,” said Boyle, who had to re-recruit his star guard, so to speak. Boyle, 47, came to Boulder after spending his last four years as head coach at the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley. Boyle transformed one of the worst basketball programs in Division I into a 25-game winner. Previous stops included Wichita State, Jacksonville State, Tennessee and Oregon as an assistant. Boyle entered the coaching business after a career as a stockbroker working on Pearl Street in Boulder. A year after competing in the prestigious Maui Invitational, Colorado will be in another challenging preseason tournament, the Las Vegas classic. The Buffaloes will face stiff competition — such as Indiana, New Mexico and Northern Iowa — as the four-day, Christmas-time tournament gives CU a warm-up for the ultra-competitive Big 12. The Buffs will also face schools from major conferences when Oregon State travels to Boulder in December and when the Buffs go to Athens for a matchup with Georgia. Whether or not this positive momentum turns into victories on the court is yet to be seen. But if everything goes according to plan, the Buffs figure to be a factor in postseason play.

Coburn takes the reins by Matt Johnson
T
he University of Colorado cross country/track programs have recently been led by one outstanding runner: Jenny Barringer. However, with Barringer now graduated, another upperclassman is ready to step up: Emma Coburn. Coburn, a rising junior from Crested Butte, will run in both cross country and track, having already made a name for herself. She placed second in last season’s NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships in the steeplechase and first in the same event at the Big 12 Championships in May. Coburn’s second-place finish nationally led to her earning the prestigious title of All-American. This, Coburn says, is her most treasured accomplishment. “Getting second at nationals and saying I’m an All-American is really exciting, and the title of All-American is something that you can kind of say forever,” she says. “That was nice to get.” Coburn is also the USA Junior record holder in the steeplechase. In her win at the Big 12 Championships, she set a meet record and won by almost seven seconds. Fortunately, these accolades just add to her motivation. “Athletically, it’s if you do something well once, you want to do it again and you want to beat yourself. I think if I wasn’t performing well and I was working this hard and it just wasn’t showing in my races — if I was losing and running slow — I would not be motivated at all,” Coburn says. “The fact that it’s all working, it’s paying off, and I’m performing well, that definitely motivates me to keep working harder.” Besides personal motivation, Coburn says her coaches have developed her work ethic and perspective on her own performance in running. “My coaches have transformed me from this OK high school runner who no one’s heard about to a pretty good collegian who has a chance to make it to a World Championship or maybe an Olympics,” she says. “Mentally they’ve definitely prepared me and made me feel more comfortable.” 28 August 19, 2010
Her teammates also provide support for her, especially during training. “It’s just nice to have people going through the same things you’re going through and to understand the pain of racing and the pain of practice and how tiring it is,” Coburn says. Coburn will have some major support around her in cross country. The Buffs have three runners from the top 15 finishers at the Big 12 Championships: sophomores Laura Tremblay and Allie McLaughlin, and senior Laura Thweatt. In track, sophomore Shalaya Kipp will compete alongside Coburn in the steeplechase. Kipp was the fourth-place finisher in the women’s steeplechase at the Big 12 Championships last season. Both teams will have to cope with the loss of Barringer, but Coburn is optimistic the Buffs can still perform well. “Jenny wasn’t around this year in track, and Shalaya and I figured it out and did well,” she says. “Her biggest impact, I think, would be in cross country, but because our team is coming back so strong this year, I don’t think it’s going to be that tremendous of an impact.” As cross country season approaches, mental preparation will be key for the young Buffs, who currently have 14 underclassmen and only four upperclassmen on the women’s roster. “I think if we all just focus, do the job, and treat it as a business, that you’re going to the line to do your job and get it done — as long as we don’t break mentally — I think physically we will be fine,” Coburn says. “It’s just getting that mental game.” Coburn knows that her opportunity to run and compete for CU is special. Hopefully she can help continue the dominance that the CU running programs have held for so long. “To say that you’re on the cross country/track team here — people know what that means, and they know that has weight to it, and they know that it’s a big deal to be on this team,” Coburn says. “I’m also proud of the fact that our team has done so well historically and that we’re still doing well. It’s really fun to be on a team like this.”

One-on-one with Richard Rokos, CU’s ski coach by Matt Sparkman
Richard Rokos is entering his 20th season as head coach of CU’s ski program. He has guided his skiers to five national championships, most recently in 2006.
B
oulder Weekly: You took second at the NCAAs last season. How do you build on that performance? Richard Rokos: Well, the season was good itself, we won most of the ski carnivals; we finished first in regionals. It comes down to four days of competition, and things might happen in your favor, or not. Even if you are favored [...] sometimes with all the things in place, things don’t go well. BW: You took over in 1990, following some down years after the departure of [former coach] Bill Marolt. How did you return the program to the prominence it sustained under Coach Marolt? RR: My general philosophy is getting first place in all aspects; it comes between academics and athletics. If you don’t succeed academically, you have a tough time succeeding athletically, so I make sure all aspects are in balance: health, nutrition, athletics, academics, social life, so that everything is in good proportion with each other. That’s my lifestyle and philosphy. BW: Being from Czechoslovakia, do you have an advantage recruiting European-born skiers? RR: I could have, potentially; my teammates and people I raced have kids of eligible age. That’s not my goal; I prefer to recruit domestically, and locally, here in Colorado. BW: Talk a little about your philosophy to turn down personal accolades. RR: I don’t feel I should be promoted over athletes. It’s their achievement, I’m just there as a tool for them, to help them. BW: How will the graduation of Matt Gelso impact the team next year? RR: Matt went through some development in four years with us. He had good years, bad years, and his final year was phenomenal. It came together perfectly for him. He showed he was
Boulder Weekly
the best American on the Nordic college circuit. BW: How disappointing was it to host the NCAAs and not win? RR: It’s always disappointing. I believe in fair competition, and being second in a fair fight, that’s the best we can do. Sometimes, you have to compromise your first place, just because you have to follow the rules, and some teams might choose differently, and they might benefit in the short term. In the end, it’s not giving a good message to athletes, or the public. BW: A lot of students come to CU for the stellar ski resorts nearby. What’s your favorite ski resort in Colorado? RR: I would say Eldora. ... We come there every day, we train. For us, going to Beaver Creek or Aspen — because they don’t do for us what Eldora does with hill prep and space — I don’t think we would be better off there. BW: What was it like to meet President Bush following your 2006 national championship? RR: It was definitely a lifetime experience, you know, to go to the White House — that does not happen to everybody. For all of us, it was a great experience. It’s an honor that the kids and coaches and administrators deserved, and I thought it was great. BW: Is it always your goal to win a national championship? RR: It’s our goal, not our expectation. We’ll do everything possible within the rules, our timeframe and power to achieve. No one trains for second place — or maybe someone does — I don’t think it’s a goal. You want to train and compete for winning. BW: What makes CU attractive to the best skiers? RR: I think academics, Boulder as a city, the program hopefully, the closeness of the mountain. There are very few places where you can be within two hours of five ski areas. Also weather conditions, always good weather … obviously lots of people east, west, want to come here.

The Ingenious Chambermaid by Carlo Goldoni Directed by Joan Schirle Oct. 14-16, 20-24 University Theatre Visiting artist Joan Schirle, founding artistic director of Dell’Arte Int’l, stages this witty comedy about lessons in good will. Overflowing with wit and charm, The Ingenious Chambermaid belongs to a strong tradition of Italian comedic drama known as commedia. As with most commedia plays, the motor of the plot is the lovers: Argentina, the chambermaid, and Pantalone, her master, the merchant. The love that draws them together is put through various comedic trials, including the mismatched courtships between the Merchant’s daughters and their would-be suitors. If Pantalone could only marry off his two daughters, he and his beautiful maid could be

Marisol by Jose Rivera Directed by Cecilia Pang Nov. 11-14, 16-19 University Theatre The author of The Motorcycle Diaries, Jose Rivera injects magical realism into his gritty, poetic, apocalyptic vision of contemporary, urban life.

This ultra-successful musical changed the landscape of American musical theater by bringing issues such as homelessness and HIV to the minds of the audience. The unforgettable music ties the story together and reminds us all that there is no day but today. ‘Tis Pity She’s a Whore by John Ford Directed by Andrew Metzroth March 9-13 Loft Theatre This red-hot and horrific 17th century classic is packed with plot twists, swordfights and steamy romance. John Ford’s best-known play, it tackles issues beyond the realm of what has been deemed socially acceptable. Teeming with controversial issues, the audience is thrown into a corrupt society where crimes and morally questionable behavior are commonplace. You Can’t Take it With You by George Kaufman & Moss Hart Directed by Tamara Meneghini April 7-9, 13-17 University Theatre A 1936 Pulitzer Prize winner, this American classic comedy sparkles with timeless appeal. The comedic antics of two families united by an unlikely marriage are put on display. We witness what seems like crazy behavior until we realize that if these people are crazy, the world must be even crazier!

Fiske Planetarium Maybe you have terrible memories of second-grade field trips to the local planetarium, where you heard dry lectures about how hot the sun is and why we have eclipses. Those field trips would have been a lot cooler with a Pink Floyd laser light show thrown in, and that’s what the folks at Fiske Planetarium think too. Every Friday night, you can catch a “Laser Floyd” program for the early show, or a band-of-the-week for the late show. Artists have included the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Bob Marley and U2, all set to rockin’ laser displays. At five bucks per person, the price ain’t too bad, either. Their educational shows are entertaining, too, so think about catching a showing of The Many Faces of Hubble or Colorado Skies as well. For a full schedule or more information, visit fiske.colorado.edu. Clubs Not to state the obvious, but CU is big. Really big. Finding something fun to do or to get involved with can seem like searching for a needle in a haystack. If you need a guiding hand, then consider one of the student clubs on campus, which focus on everything from environmental concerns to music to cultural interests.

urning the dial to Radio 1190 is like opening a box of chocolates, as Forrest Gump would say. You never know what you’re going to get. OK, so if you checked the online program calendar for 1190, you’d know what you’re getting. But it’s much more fun to just tune to the station on your AM radio or your computer or even through the 1190 iPhone app, and listen to the random sampling, from hip hop to heavy metal, from a live concert to a local musician’s latest EP. Since Radio 1190 began in November 1998, it has been completely student-run. General Manager Mike Flanagan describes it as “an eclectic college format” — a mix of programming selected by student disc jockeys that produces a somethingfor-everybody listening experience. “We’re all about exposing new and independent music and being relevant and staying focused and being cutting-edge,” Flanagan says. The station plays lots of new music, a lot of local music and a handful of specialty shows. All the programming is directed by students, Flanagan says. The students who run the station started as volunteers for the “street team” or for work around the office. After volunteering for 10 hours, a student is eligible for training on how to work the board and run a radio show. “We have a constant overturn, so it really is pretty easy to become a DJ and go on the air, but
says. “It’s a community commitment in a strange kind of way, because you’re exposing the artists of the community, you’re bringing them and you’re exposing people to something they may not have gotten anywhere else,” Flanagan says. Working at a radio station also offers the kind of entry-level opportunity that helps launch a career in broadcast or other media. And while radio is changing, Radio 1190, CU’s Flanagan says, parts of it student-run radio station are going to stay as a cornerstone of communication. He pointed to Hurricane Katrina victims, on their roofs listening to transistor radios after the disaster. There’s a bond, he says, and in all the audio content out by Elizabeth Miller there, what makes listening to a radio different from listening to an iPod is the human connection. there is a process,” Flanagan says. He estimated Part of learning to do the job, he says, involves that around 150 students work at the station at any just learning what options are out there for music given time, with 75 to 80 of them spending time selections. on air. They have all learned, or are learning, the “There’s so much music out there now, thanks rules of FCC broadcasting. to the Internet — it’s a jungle once you get in “It’s hardly a free-form thing.

but not bitterly so — ale, and a collection of stouts that includes the Out of Sight and Out of Bounds. Other menu highlights include cask-conditioned beers, or even the Bourbon BarrelAged Imperial Oatmeal Stout, which drinks like a bourbon-laced oatmeal chocolate chip cookie.

elcome to Colorado, microbrew capital of the world. Well, that might be debatable, but with 114 craft brewers in the state, it certainly feels that way. In and around Boulder, there’s something for any palate. Avery Brewing Company
The Avery Brewing Company is kind of in hiding. The taproom is barely marked from the street, and if you call for directions, they boil down to taking a service road west of a car wash. But if you find it, you’ll have landed in one of those precious havens for invested beer drinkers — the kind who take a sample in pint glasses. Which is exactly the kind of sampling you’ll begin doing when you get to the taproom, which has roughly 20 Avery beers.

blends. They plate up a dinner menu punctuated with vegetarian enticements like a vegan reuben. The only possible problem with the Sun brewpubs is that if you go during prime drinking and dining times, you might have to wait. If you go early enough to hang out at the bar for the time it takes to seat a party of four, you’ll have plenty of time to enjoy the kind of atmosphere that encapsulates Boulder’s hippie-ish charm. Elbow in at the bar, and you may even have a beverage to whet your appetite. But show up starving, and you might be too annoyed to enjoy the board games available by the time you get seated. Still, the beer and vittles are worth the wait.

Walnut Brewery and Restaurant The Walnut is like the medical marijuana dispensary you’d take your parents to when they visit from out of state and are doubtful about your medical use of their former recreational abuse. You know, the dispensary that also offers massage and aromatherapy, boasts an “organics” sticker on their products, and dresses their staff in hospital scrubs. It’s like the introductory course for your parents to the idea of you, their precious offspring, as a beer drinker. For that matter, it’s a bit of a beginner course for the beginning beer drinker. The menu offers the standard range of amber, IPA, stout and bitter beers to order by the pint, and they’re pleasant enough. The food menu of burgers, steaks, sandwiches and a few odd pasta dishes is plenty palatable, if a little pricey. But basically there are no surprises here, and none of the daring adventures in taste to be found at some of the other area brewpubs, which makes it a safe starting point, but not a place to visit habitually. Unless, of course, standard issue is your style. For your GPS: Boulder Beer Company: Also a bit tricky to find, it’s south of Valmont between Foothills and 30th on a road called Wilderness Place.

ith restaurants on every corner, hunger has a slim chance against Boulder students. And yet, it’s all too easy to get stuck in the cycle of student-oriented eateries like Jimmy John’s and Qdoba. In foodcentric Boulder, there is no reason to follow such monotony. This guide offers a sampling of some of Boulder’s best deals for the quality-seeking diner. The restaurants featured below were chosen because of their accessibility, reasonable prices and most of all, their irresistible food. It’s just a matter of making the effort to branch out. Off the beaten path It’s easy to find the road more traveled when it comes to dining out. Take a step off and you could discover a better bite. Try a healthy pizza at Modmarket, located in the 29th Street Mall. Their whole-wheat flatbreads are a nutritious alternative to greasy, doughy pizzas found elsewhere, and their toppings are unmatchable. The sleek café also offers hearty, made-toorder salads in numerous varieties and
prime customer service. Head north from there to reach Dish, the gourmet sandwich joint that almost puts Half Fast to shame. With expert chefs and an emphasis on locally produced ingredients, the friendly shop offers a gourmet fast-food experience. Head west on Pearl and find The Cup between 15th and 16th streets. This ultra-Boulder café has numerous waste receptacles and compostable cups, and boasts fair trade coffee by Conscious Coffees. It also offers a full menu of breakfast and lunch items; especially delicious are the bagel sandwiches that cost around $6. Stroll farther west and, at Broadway, turn right. Between Pearl and Spruce streets sits Oliv You & Me, an olive oil store that will take you around the world. From Italy to California, the olive oils are a gourmet journey in themselves. Snack on an authentic Italian prosciutto sandwich and a cappuccino for a mid-day meal.

semester, it’s hard to dine anywhere that won’t accept the card. It may get tiresome, however, visiting the same carousel of eateries each week. Indulge in a burger at The Dark Horse, a college-y, laid-back restaurant that’s served Boulder since 1975. The multi-room saloon has as much character as Disneyland. It’s either a short drive or a 15-minute walk from Kittredge, but well worth the travel. Forgo a sub-standard sandwich in favor of one at Salvaggio’s. The award-winning deli serves hearty sandwiches made with grilled steak, onions, peppers, fresh mozzarella and more. Soft, flavorful bread sets Salvaggio’s apart from other shops, and for around $7, lunch is a steal. Treat your body well at Sunflower Market. This natural foods grocery store is a mere hop down Folsom, and it has everything you need for a healthy life. Hungry during class? Munch on some dried cranberries or chocolate almonds from the bulk bins. In need of a nutritious lunch? Pick up some sushi or prepared foods from the upstairs deli area and leave the store for less than $10. If you’re on the Broadway side of campus, head down to Arapahoe for a classic meal at Mustard’s Last Stand. Here in Boulder since 1970, the café must be doing something right. Chicago-style Vienna hot dogs are the specialty, but it also offers Bratwurst, chicken sandwiches and vegetarian options. Sit down and savor Perhaps you have a date you’d like to impress. Perhaps you’re plain sick of dorm food. If so, look no further
than the following options. They’re not ideal for an in-between-classes lunch, but are perfect for a night out. Up north, try Proto’s Pizza. It’s easy to access this Neapolitan-style pizzeria via the Skip, and worth the ride. Try the classic pizza Margherita with fresh basil. Thin crust reigns at the popular joint, and prices are reasonable, especially if you split a pie with a friend. Right off Pearl Street lies the 14th Street Bar & Grill, a laid-back but classy restaurant that serves something for everyone. From luscious chicken sandwiches to woodfired pizzas, not even the pickiest eater will go hungry at this likeable locale. Most dishes are around $15. For a fun ethnic experience, try Sherpa’s. It’s nestled on 8th and Walnut inside a former house, and serves Tibetan, Nepalese and Indian food. Dishes include Saag and Tikka Masala, and don’t miss the puffy Naan bread. If you’re of age, sample the Sherpa Ale, a tasty beer to complement the meal. Prices at Sherpa’s can’t be beat; most of the entrées are in the $10 range and are so huge they’ll feed you tomorrow as well. Finally, savor Southwestern fare at Zolo. Owned by the famed Big Red F restaurant group (other properties include Jax and the West End Tavern), Zolo has some of the tastiest food in town. Prices may be slightly upwards of the regular student budget, but at around $20 an entrée, it won’t clean you out for the entire semester, either. Student dining in Boulder need not be monotonous. All it takes is a few steps off campus to discover the town is rich with flavor.

hether you’re a student from across the globe or across the country, or simply an adventurous foodie, Boulder has much to offer in terms of walletfriendly ethnic and regional eats. Since we can’t list every possibility in town, we are highlighting dining possibilities concentrated around Williams Village and University Hill, and a few other spots convenient to campus. Boulder’s a touch lacking in latenight dining options, although Cosmos’ Pizza on 30th Street is open ’til the wee hours and is an easy walk from the Williams Village dorms. With pizza available by the pie or the slice, Cosmos’ serves up hearty New York-style pizza with hefty crust and generous doses of cheese, pepperoni and other popular toppings. If you like anchovies, this is also the place to go. A few doors down, you’ll find Suki Thai, with its affordable selection of Southeast Asian-inspired noodle bowls, salads and even tacos.
From the Taj buffet
Ordering is easy on the signature noodle bowls, with a choice of proteins, including tofu, shrimp and pork, and broths ranging from a clear and mild version to spicier coconut and red curry selections. Top it off with veggies and seasonings, and you’ve got a light meal with all the complex tastes of Thailand. Up on the Hill, Bento Zanmai offers traditional Japanese meals, including teriyaki bento box lunches and some of the finest ramen around. This isn’t the oversalted, dime-a-pack

stuff. This is the real deal, with miso-scented broth, tender bits of chicken and wonderfully substantial noodles. For Asian noodles of a different sort, check out the nearby You and Mee Noodle House, which features a fine bowl of pho, the classic Vietnamese beef noodle soup. Rice and noodle bowls are also available here, as are spring rolls and banh mi sandwiches, which marry French and Vietnamese ingredients. Speaking of sandwiches, Half Fast Subs features East Coast deli classics like reubens and a formidable pastrami and corned beef, as well as Italian-style coldcut subs. East Coasters will also appreciate the Philly cheesesteaks, while Big Easy transplants will savor the New Orleans po-boy stuffed with fried shrimp and remoulade sauce. There are several Indian buffets scattered across town, including the lunchtime spread offered upstairs at the Taj, situated across the street from the Wolf Law Building on Baseline. Those living in Martin Acres might want to hit up South Broadway’s Tandoori
Grill for lunch. At these subcontinental buffets, you can indulge your appetite for fiery curries, fragrant tandoori chicken, buttery naan flatbread and sweet rice pudding, at reasonable prices. Perhaps more closely tied to San Francisco’s Mission District than Mexico itself, the burrito remains a perennial grab-and-go favorite. National chains such as Qdoba and Chipotle are found throughout town, as are smaller, localized operations such as Illegal Pete’s and Big City Burritos. Pete’s serves up a wonderfully crunchy fried fish wrap, while breakfast burritos stuffed with potatoes are a Big City specialty. All of the above-mentioned spots offer rolled-to-order behemoths that make for a filling, if not portable, repast.

These two bastions of Boulder music and entertainment are now under the same management, parent company Z2 Entertainment. “I believe that this is going to be an incredible thing for Boulder and for all of our patrons, and for both businesses to be complementing each other rather than competing,” Cheryl Liguori, Boulder Theater’s general manager, told Boulder Weekly in June, when the merger was announced. Between the two, Fox Theatre and Boulder Theater have been responsible for some of the biggest-name shows to come through our fair city, like The Game and Hansen. And while many shows at the Fox are 21-plus only, there are plenty of all ages or 18-plus happenings there and at Boulder Theater. Lesser known (for the moment) is the new Astroland. Based in a warehouse in North Boulder, Astroland is a DIY art space, says co-founder Zack Roif. It’s a place for local musicians and smaller acts, and an alternative to Boulder’s larger venues. Astroland also has monthly readings, an open mic night and a film series. Located at 4115 N. Broadway, Astroland is always all ages. For under-21-friendly venues, hot spots and activities any time of day, check out these fine destinations: • The Pearl Street Mall, as the central pedestrian portion of downtown Boulder is called, has a little bit of everything: food, shopping, entertainment, cafes and more. • The Laughing Goat hosts live shows nearly every night of the week, and almost always for free. The venue is intimate and the talent impressive, so why not check out a cool new singer-songwriter or a sit in on a weekly poetry reading while sipping your latte? You can even convince your older friends to come along, since the Goat also serves wine and beer for those who are legal.
• The Pearl Street Mall also has one of the densest concentrations of coffee shops in the western hemisphere. The Cup offers some of the best coffee in town, as well as late hours to accommodate all of you night owls out there, and Atlas Purveyors, a few doors down, has an impressive selection of teas and treats. On the west end of Pearl, you can find the Trident Café and Bookseller. Brewing Market also has a Pearl Street outpost, and a block over on Walnut Street you’ll find Amante Coffee. • Fun doesn’t have to be indoors. Get out there and smell the roses at these great spots: The Chautauqua Trailhead and hiking area is one of the most convenient and beautiful recreation areas in Boulder. Easily accessible by bike, bus or car, it’s the perfect spot for East Coasters to cut their teeth, with trail options ranging from easy to ouch. Farther to the north, Mt. Sanitas offers a beautiful — but slightly challenging — hike just minutes from downtown Boulder. For info on these and other great hiking and outdoor areas, visit the Open Space and Mountain Parks website at www.naturehikes.org. • There’s a lot to do on the Hill. From music to a smorgasbord of restaurants and coffee shops, you couldn’t be bored there if you tried. For something different, there’s the Hookah House, which is alcohol-free but still 18-plus only. (You do know what a hookah is, right?) It’s open late throughout the week, and it’s not uncommon to see the place packed with tobacco lovers getting their fix. • Located in central Boulder, the Twenty Ninth Street Mall is a shopper’s paradise. Here you can pick up anything from the latest bestseller at Borders to a new iPod at the Apple store. It also hosts music events and festivals; check out the schedule at www.twentyninthstreet.com. • And of course, there’s a whole list of things to do on campus; so many, in fact, that we gave that its own article. Go read it; it’s good.
