t’s that time of year again — the days are getting just a little shorter, just a little cooler and every other TV commercial is pushing school supplies. But for you, dear reader, it’s not just time to go back to school. It’s time to head to your freshman year of college. Maybe you’re excited. Maybe you’ve been planning your college career since the sandbox in elementary school. Maybe you’re ready to get out there and meet new people, run for student government and blaze the path toward your dream career. But maybe you’re overwhelmed. Maybe you don’t exactly know what you want to do “for the rest of your life.” Perhaps you’re a little unnerved by meeting a complete stranger that you’re going to share a 250-square-foot room with for at least the next nine months, and the thought of your first day of chemistry is creating quite the chemical reaction in your stomach. We get it. There’s a lot to think about and lots of unknowns — will I make friends? What will my professors be like? How long can I tell people that I’m “undecided” without sounding like I have no plan for my life? We’ve been there, and we’re here to tell you that you’re going to make it. There will be tough days, sure, but it’s nothing you can’t handle. We’ve put together this Student Guide to help you navigate not just your new town, but this new experience you’re about to embark upon. We’ve got guides for academic resources, maps to important places in town, events to help you burn off some steam and even a little advice that we wish someone had given us when we were in your shoes. So take a deep breath, prop your dorm room door open and kick back for an hour or so with Boulder Weekly’s Student Guide.

[A]

Alferd Packer Restaurant & Grill —Wondering if your university has a sense of humor? Well stroll on over to the University Memorial Center and order up a juicy roast beef sandwich at the Alferd Packer Restaurant & Grill and you’ll have your answer. As far as we know, this is the only eating establishment in the country named for a cannibal. The short version goes like this: Packer and a few other hardy souls headed west in wagons. It snowed. They got stuck in the mountains. Everybody died. Packer managed to put on a few pounds. The South Park guys made a movie about it. How’s that sandwich? Atomic clock — What time is it? If you really want to be accurate, check out the atomic clock at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) at 325 Broadway. Boulder actually sets the time for the entire world. NIST makes for an interesting tour.

[B]

Bag fee — If you’ve been thinking about investing in a reusable canvass grocery bag, now is the time to spend that dollar. That’s because answering the question “paper or plastic” in Boulder will cost you 10 cents a bag. Binge drinking — This is defined as having more than four (women) or five (men) drinks in one sitting, or about two hours, bringing the blood alcohol level above .08. It’s a bad idea.You might die, which is real buzzkill. And the City of Boulder has gotten old and cranky and is cracking down on anyone who looks to be in college and drunk … which you will be if you binge drink. Boulder International Film Festival — Boulder is home to the Boulder International Film Festival (BIFF), which takes place every February.Venues all over town are turned into screening rooms and the stars show up to discuss their creative work.You will want to attend, trust us. Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art — Visit the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art (BMoCA) for a dose of something out of the ordinary. The museum is located at 1750 13th St.

Boulder A to Z

Cannabis — see “Dope” Conference on World Affairs — The Conference on World Affairs, held in April each year, is a highlight for the entire Boulder community. It’s a global conversation wherein everyone, including you, can participate. Students can volunteer or just sit in on the sessions like everyone else. In a nutshell, the conference is comprised of smart, famous people discussing creative and important topics with whoever shows up and there is no charge. It’s the best thing in April. Cruiser rides — On most Thursday evenings, a bunch of folks jump on their bikes and ride around downtown Boulder hollering “Happy Thursday!” There’s a different theme each week (see www.cruiserbikeride. org). If you ride a fixie, have a neck-beard (or aspire to one) and like shouting, you’ll be in good company.

Dairy Center for the Arts — If you find yourself in need of film, not to be confused with a Hollywood movie made from a comic book or a 1970’s cartoon series, we can recommend just the place. Boulder Weekly Student Guide ’14

Farmers’ Market — This is that place where you go when you want to eat healthy, when your body begins to rebel against all of the Twinkies, beer and ramen you have poured down your gullet. Open Saturdays, April to November, and Wednesdays, May to October. Flatirons — You know, those cool-looking rock slabs on the mountain behind you. Despite it being everyone’s favorite mistake, these aren’t actually advisable territory for hiking after consuming alcoholic beverages or psychedelic drugs. Keep yourself safely on your couch at that point. Being embarrassed by having to be rescued off of one of these things is actually the best outcome you can hope for if you start walking up the rock without the proper gear or training. Fringe Festival — This off-beat event has something for everyone: live theatre, dance, circus art, media art, cinema, visual art, spoken word, puppetry, workshops and storytelling. It will be held Sept. 17-28 at various locations around downtown Boulder. And by various locations, we mean performances could go down in the back of a taxi or in a large cardboard box. Floods — Yes, the city did in fact see lots of streets covered with water last September and a few college kids woke up with knee-high water in their basement-level apartments. It’s not likely to occur again any time soon, but it’s still best to know where to go if it does — and that those warning sirens going off on the first Monday of the month, somewhere in the garble, are saying, “This is just a test.” Don’t panic.

[G]

GLBTQIA — Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgendered, Queer, Intersex and Allied. Join the friendly alphabet. Local resources include the GLBTQ Resource Center on campus at the Center for Community and Out Boulder (with a Pridehouse Community Center at 2132 14th St., Boulder). Grades — Worth a little stress, but not an ulcer. Find a balance. Greek Life — Lots of houses on the Hill have funny letters over their front doors. Therein lies some of the campus’s Greek life. Fraternities and sororities have their benefits (Hey, these folks can all be your friends!) and their drawbacks (Oh, they’re friends you have to pay to meet).

[F]

Wander on over to the Dairy Center for the Arts (2590 Walnut St.).You’ll find several galleries as well as the Boedecker Theater, which tends to show great films worthy of your investment of time. Dushanbe Tea House —The tea house was a gift from one of Boulder’s sister cities, Dushanbe, Tajikistan, and it is truly an architectural wonder as well as a great place to drink tea or eat a fine meal. Dope — see “Reefer”

[E]

Eldora Mountain Resort — So you wake up, look out your window, and see two feet of fresh powder has fallen overnight. What do you do? Find someone with all-wheel drive and head 21 miles straight up Boulder Canyon until you arrive at Eldora Mountain Resort. While not big by Colorado standards — they’d hold the Olympics there if it were in the Northeast — it’s a great place to test your skills after a winter storm. Emergency rooms — It’s good to know that Boulder has not one but two different emergency rooms, one at Boulder Community Hospital, 1100 Balsam Ave., and the other at Boulder Community Foothills Hospital, 4747 Arapahoe Ave.

[H]

Heritage Center — Upstairs in Old Main, one of the oldest buildings on campus, the CU museum houses memorabilia of the institution’s history, which includes moon rocks, championship trophies, even Glenn Miller’s trombone. The Hill — See map. History Museum — As in, Boulder History Museum, conveniently located on The Hill. This museum showcases Boulder-centric history and history of particular interest to the average Boulderite (think: exhibitions dedicated to the history of beer and to the evolution of active wear). This fall, catch a pop-up display of items from the 2013 flood Sept. 9-17. Heil & Hall — These two former ranches are see A TO Z Page 10

now home to great hiking and mountain biking trails just north of town.

[I]

Involvement Fair — Don’t know what you want to do with the next four years of your life? Check out this gathering of student groups, clubs and organizations going down on Wednesday, Sept. 3 from 11 a.m to 2 p.m.. It’s like a buffet of things to do other than stare at that chemistry textbook.You might need that. International Film Series — College is a time for educating yourself on the ways of the world, and film can be a great way to say “hello” to a corner of the planet you don’t yet know. This film series showcases both classics on celluloid and cutting edge contemporary films. Individual attention — Don’t get lost in the sea of students at CU. Use your professor’s office hours for conversations and questions about the material you’re covering as a way to boost your grades and get some quality feedback. Internships — What you learn in classes is a great foundation for everything else you’ll do in life, but the door to everything else begins with some work experience, the likes of which you’ll only get by, well, working somewhere. Sign up for some real-world experience with an internship and take your field of choice out for a test drive before it’s the only thing you’re qualified to do. Ironman — Yes, people in Boulder really do pay to sign up to swim 2.4 miles, bike 112 miles and then run 26.2 miles. Boulder just got its own installation of this brutal race.

[J]

Jam bands — How do you know you’re listening to a jam band? Well, if it seems like you’re still listening to the same song you were 20 minutes ago … You’ve probably found one. Check out NedFest for your fill. Jewish Festival — This one-day event features entertainment, art, ethnic food and community organizations. Next scheduled for June 7, 2015, on the Boulder County Courthouse Lawn and Pearl Street Mall. Journalism & Mass Communication — Rumors of the death of the journalism school at CU were greatly exaggerated. It’s only mostly dead.Visit the remains at the College of Media, Communication and Information.

[K]

KBCO — The formerly local radio station where bands in skinny jeans play live in-studio so you can later buy “Live From Studio C” compilations every December. 10 August 21, 2014

KGNU — Local. Independent. Baller. Like us. When the pledge drive comes around, be sure to give them some of your parent’s money. Kind — See “Pot” Kinetic Sculpture Race — Kind of like that time in high school you ducktaped a couch to a skateboard and raced it against a recliner on a shopping cart, except, you know, legit. Annually, mad scientists build human-powered sculptures capable of traveling on land and sea and then race them at Union Reservoir in Longmont. Wear a helmet. KUVO — The radio station you claim to listen to when trying to appear more sophisticated than the average KBCO-listening knuckle-dragger to a date, or when you have researched too much “kind.” Why? Cause it’s all jazz, baby.

[L]

L-towns — Boulder’s neighbors, Longmont, Louisville, Lafayette, and Lyons. They’re EVERYWHERE. (Note:Very different from eTown.) Left Right Tim — Need to learn to think on your feet to explain why you missed yet another deadline on your thesis? CU’s improv comedy group may be just the inspiration you need. Every Friday of the school year, Left Right Tim can be found performing in Room 270 of the Hale Science Building on the CU Boulder Campus Local — Secret password you will be required to hyphenate with any noun you discuss with Boulderites in order to keep from becoming a social pariah.

[M]

Marijuana — See “Weed” Microbrews — Beers served without ping-pong balls floating in them. MIP — Remember when you were younger and didn’t place in a sporting event, but still got a ribbon labeled “Participant”? MIPs (minor in possession) are like that, except the sporting event is getting hammered, and the ribbon will cost you a big fine and an afternoon listening to old people drone on about the dangers of [insert whatever you were caught drinking or smoking here], and you may end up with a criminal record instead of ice cream from your parents. Mountains — Large mounds of dirt on which you can hike or bike to decrease the likelihood of getting a MIP. Also, a majestically scenic backdrop to our lovely community.

[N]

Naropa — The “that school of yours,” in the phrase “Is that what they teach in that school of yours?” National centers — While you

Student Guide ’14 Boulder Weekly

may have come to CU Boulder for the easy access to skiing, a lot of your professors came for the plethora of major research laboratories located in Boulder. The National Center for Atmospheric Reseach (NCAR), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), are all here. Ned — The thing you’re allowed to call nearby Nederland once you’ve been formerly introduced to the mountain community by visiting one of its music festivals or Colorado’s weirdest cityevent, Frozen Dead Guy Days. Until then, you have to call it Mr. Nederland.

[O]

OMSP (Open Space Management and Mountain Parks) — Government agency that is tasked with managing Boulder’s trails and open spaces, primarily by ticketing you for littering or walking your dog off-leash. So don’t do those things. Details are available on the OMSP website for getting your dog a “green tag” to permit off-leash time on trails. Old Main — The first building constructed on CU campus in 1876 has housed the university president, a library, classrooms and the start of a science lab. Out Boulder — Advocacy and guidance group for the local LGBTQIA community. Stages events like queer youth cabaret. Drop-in services and a resource library are available at The Pridehouse at 2132 14th St. in downtown Boulder from 9 a.m.-1p.m. Tuesday through Friday.

[P]

Pearl Street Mall — Downtown Boulder’s celebrated shopping district, replete with locally owned businesses as well as some corporate outlets. It’s also got good restaurants, live music and street performances that just might make you say, “I don’t think that child should be standing so close to that.” Planetarium — The Fiske Planetarium recently underwent a huge upgrade, including new lenses and projectors that make the dome an “immersive theater” that fills a 360 degree view with videos of travel, astronomy, music and lasers. It’s where Galileo and Led Zeppelin meet back on the other side. Planet Bluegrass — This outdoor music venue in Lyons really does feel like a different planet when it fills up for its eco-friendly music festivals showcasing the best in bluegrass and folk music to be found anywhere in the country. While most of the action happens in the summer months, the concert series at the Wildflower Pavilion indoor facility at Planet Bluegrass extends the season to spring and fall. Polar Bear Plunge — Hundreds of people jump in the frigid waters of Boulder Reservoir on Jan. 1 each year for the annual polar bear plunge. Money raised goes to the Alzheimer’s Association. Pot — See “Kind”

[Q]

Quaker Friends House — The Boulder Friends Meetinghouse started in the 1950s with an ad in the paper for a home gathering of people interested in attending a Quaker Meeting

for Worship — a fundamental tenet of that religion being that a “church” is the people and not the building. People still gather at the local meetinghouse for worship, where they offer education classes on Quakerism and all the Oat Squares you can eat. Queer Initiative — A politically active student group highlighting issues facing the GLBTQIA community. If fighting for gay rights is a priority for you, look for the group’s events around campus. Quiet — What you’ll go to Norlin Library to seek, and often fail to find.

Safe Sex — Hopefully your mom or dad sat you down in that room in your house that has nice furniture but no one ever sits in unless there’s company over and talked to you about se-x, but here’s some basics. Get condoms and use them wisely. Be smart about the whos, whens and wheres of doin’ it, and get tested (Wardenburg Health Center can provide these services and they’re completely covered by both university insurance plans).

[X]

Tubing — Buy a tube from the gas station, or rent from any number of vendors in town, and haul it up to Eben G. Fine Park and hop into Boulder Creek. Perfect for a lazy summer day, and an excellent alternative to attending the first day of classes — we’re kidding. Go to class. Tuition — Think it’s high now? Tuition is increasing roughly 7 percent a year. If that’s not motivation to graduate in three years, we don’t know what is. Trustafarian — Dude, you just gotta, like, reject all of that capitalism crap, you know, man? Let me Snapchat this, just got the new iPhone.Yep, just got a new snowboard.Yeah, I’ve seen The Cheese like 30 times, man. Anyway, it’s all crap, you know? UMC — University Memorial Center, where you can buy and sell your books, grab some grub, study, bowl and find dozens of clubs and organizations to get involved with at CU. Undecided — Be this major for a while but not too long. Unitarian Church — In Boulder, everyone has a social issue or four they are deeply passionate about. Find other folks to be passionate and active with at the Unitarian Universalist Church, a congregation focused on social justice. The church is located across Foothills Parkway from CU’s Research Park.

[V]

Valmont Bike Park — If you like cycling off-road, this 40 acres of pure awesome is for you.Valmont’s singletrack trail, dirt jumps and more are open are dawn ’til dusk for free. Velodrome — A testament to Boulder’s undying love of cycling, the velodrome is a 250-meter work of art designed to accommodate the world’s fastest cyclists and beginners alike. The velodrome is still working out some kinks from a storm that set back their construction process last year, but cofounders say everything should be sorted out soon. Visual Arts Center — CU’s Visual Arts Center opened in 2010 and serves painting, sculpting, digital arts students and more. It also houses the CU Art Museum. Voting — Something you should be doing at every chance you’re given. Elections are just around the corner, so get registered to vote and keep an eye out for BW’s Voter Guide on Oct. 16 to help

Wardenburg Health Center — These people will help keep you healthy, physically and mentally. Weed — see “Cannabis” Wesley Fellowship — This progressive congregation will feed your soul in a number of ways. Take advantage of a free yoga class on Monday nights, or take part in their Peanut Butter N’ Luvin’ program and serve many of Boulder’s “visible” homeless population. Will Vill — Also known as “Chill Vill” or “Trill Vill,” Williams Village was the site of the now infamous “falling bear” picture. Bears aren’t common, so don’t freak out. Will Vill’s residents also have access to tennis, volleyball and basketball courts, a soccer field and its own Rec Center. Cushy, eh?

X-Games — Returning to Aspen January 22–25, 2015. For four days, the world’s best athletes in skiing, snowboarding and snowmobiling (yes, this is a sport) get extreme to the max. This is the Olympics of action sports. Xeriscaping — You might think landscaping with rocks and bushes is unattractive, but it’s a form of gardening that accommodates Boulder’s low rainfall. Xs on your hands from the bar — Want to know the fastest way to get dismissed by your professor when you ask for an extension on that paper? Show up with Xs on your hand from getting funky at the bar last night. Take a shower, kid, or at least wash your hand.

[Y]

Yoga — Around here, it’s a way of life. Get those stretchy pants on, dear reader, and assume downward dog.

[Z]

Zero waste — Something CU takes pretty seriously. “Ralphie’s Green Stampede” is an initiative to create a zero waste football stadium. The university was the first major collegiate or professional sports program in the U.S. to undertake such a measure. Dorms and businesses around Boulder offer recycling and composting, so read the signs about what you can and can’t throw in each bin. Ziplining — Looking for yet another method to tour the Rockies? Try ziplining! Ski resorts around Colorado are getting in on the ziplining craze. Check out courses in Vail, Salida, Buena Vista and Leadville.

e here are the BW firmly believe that if you work hard, you should play hard, and there are few better ways we can think of to reward yourself for a job well done (a test well taken, or maybe just a week where, hey, you made it to all of your classes!) then a night of great live music. Here’s a guide to some of the best places around to get your groove on. 1ST BANK CENTER 11450 Broomfield Lane, Broomfield, 303-410-0800 This versatile arena brings in large touring acts, from Lorde (Sept. 28) to Widespread Panic (Oct. 31 to Nov. 2) to Bastille (Nov. 10), in addition to hosting events like Cirque du Soleil, championship fighting and even the occasional roller derby bout.

FOX THEATRE

1135 13th St., Boulder, 303443-3399 If there’s a killer new band whose album isn’t out yet, but you’ve heard about from your friend’s roommate’s cousin, chances are The Fox Theatre is where they’ll play when they come through Boulder. The mid-size, multi-level theater stage hosts hard-buzzing hip-hop, electronic and rock acts as well as the sorts of iconic indie artists whose portraits line its walls. And anyone who’s been around Boulder for a while will tell you, The Fox Theater is usually the place they saw so-and-so before they were big. That may be why Rolling Stone named it one of the best venues in America.

JAMESTOWN MERCANTILE 108 Main St., Jamestown, 303442-5847 This restaurant in the little town that could hasn’t just been an anchor for the local community while it’s weathered a long recovery from a lot of flood damage last fall, it’s also been a hoppin’ place to come see some folksy, bluegrassy tunes. Get your dancing shoes on, though, because the locals won’t stand for you sittin’ around all night. JILL’S AT ST JULIEN 900 Walnut St., Boulder, 877-303-0900 The St Julien is undoubtedly Boulder’s swankiest hotel. Its ground floor and adjacent restaurant, Jill’s, also serve as an event space. These events vary from liquor brand launch parties to live music to magicians to conventions. Entertainment can be found both day and night and its location, just off Pearl, allows you to plan a visit as part of your night. THE LAUGHING GOAT 1709 Pearl St., Boulder, www.thelaughinggoat.com With live music and events every night of the week, this intimate coffeehouse brews up a diverse mix of talent. Audiences see their mental palettes expanded with events such as poetry night, jazz night and a rotating schedule of local music talent. Beer and wine is served see ENTERTAINMENT Page 16

alongside locally sourced espresso. THE LAZY DOG 1346 Pearl St., Boulder, 303-440-3355 In addition to having one of Boulder’s best rooftop bars, The Lazy Dog also has one of its best dance floors. The bar is split into two rooms, one packed with TVs tuned to the sporting event of the day, and the other with a small club-sized stage perfect for the funk, rock and jam bands that take it over every Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Expect to see up-andcoming touring and local acts, and expect to get down. MACKY AUDITORIUM 285 University Ave., Boulder, 303-4928423 This venue is probably the easiest to find for CU students since it is located on Norlin Quad. At around 2,000 seats, this auditorium handles opera, symphony and theater performances with no problem. From heads of state to actors and musicians, the Macky relies on variety to fill its auditorium.

MADELIFE 2000 21st St., Boulder, 303-927-0802 More than just a music venue, Madelife is a self-proclaimed “launchpad for artists and entrepreneurs founded on mentorship and collaboration.” The 6,000-square-foot store, gallery, black box theater, sound studio and collaborative workspace might be the place where the newest big name in music gets a start. MOUNTAIN SUN AND SOUTHERN SUN Mountain Sun: 1535 Pearl St., Boulder, 303-546-0886; Southern Sun: 627 South Broadway, Boulder, 303-543-0886 These sister pubs serve up great food and brews (there is a massive selection of beer on tap), but weekends at these two venues transform these rustic settings into rollicking music venues. Come for the food, wash it down with the day’s special beer, and stay to digest some of the area’s great live music. PIONEER INN 15 E. First St., Nederland, 303-258-7733 A visit to the Pioneer Inn means a dose of history — and not just in the classic western storefront style that features plenty of rough-hewn wood. The stage has been home to classic rock music since the early 1970s, hosting the likes of Billy Joel, Rod Stewart, Carole King and Waylon Jennings back in the day when the nearby Caribou Ranch recording studio

was a draw for musicians from around the country. The stage still gets hopping and is worth the trek up the canyon. PRESS PLAY 1005 Pearl St., Boulder, 720-508-4916 Pearl Street’s homage to retro, Press Play, is half full of pinball and retro arcade machines, with the other half occupied by a club-sized stage and dance floor that hosts a rotating series of funk and rock bands, and DJs on weekends, with live-band karaoke on Thursdays. On nonmusic nights, the dance floor plays host to ping pong tables. Between the intimate size of the room, and the plethora of options for those just waiting for their friend’s band to come on, Press Play is a solid destination. But post-doctoral students be warned: The primary demographic for Press Play was born long, long, long after most of the video games it rocks were already relics. SHINE 2027 13th St., Boulder, 303-449-0120 Boulder’s spot for feel-good food and a sense of loving community also hosts music in an intimate rear room. Expect everything from South Indian mantra music to singer/songwriters at this downtown Boulder venue, and keep an eye out for regular dance parties to get your groove on. TWISTED PINE BREWING 3201 Walnut St., Boulder, 303-786-9270 No stage. Tiny sound system. Lots of beer. It’s true, Twisted Pine is a brewery first. But the western corner of the joint is also a regular host of some of the city’s finest acoustic, bluegrass and Americana acts, with local and touring performers on weekends, an open bluegrass pick on Sundays and an open mic series on Wednesdays. When Twisted Pine says BYOB, they mean “bring your own banjo.” WATERLOO 809 South Main St., Louisville, 303-9932094 Music selection at Waterloo focuses on what Johnny Cash, patron saint of this drinking establishment, might listen to — typically, expect rock, folk and Americana. Waterloo opens its stage up to Colorado-based acts, including a weekly gig from the folk rock favorite the Gasoline Lollipops, and the occasional band from farther afield.

BROUGHT TO YOU BY

Halden Wofford and the Hi Beams, performing at Oskar Blues in Lyons

While we can’t confirm that the Dark Horse is actually world famous, we can tell you that it’s an awesome place to see some local music every Saturday night starting at 9 p.m. — if you’re 21 and up. Sorry kids, you can go and enjoy a burger with your folks until 10 p.m., but then you gotta leave. For those of you who’d rather be on the stage than in front of it, Thursday is karaoke night. Once again, the 21-and-up rule applies. NISSI’S 2675 Northpark Dr., Lafayette, 303665-2757 Let us be perfectly clear, Nissi’s is not a hangout for the typical college student. Its website even says that it’s geared toward the 35-and-up crowd. But here’s the thing: It’s a unique venue where you can enjoy great music, cocktails, food and dancing in an atmosphere that’s not a college bar. It’s a great change-of-pace locale for that date where chugging shots and standing up all night just won’t do. OSKAR BLUES Grill & Brew: 303 Main St., Lyons, 303823-6685 Home Made Liquids and Solids: 1555 S. Hover Road, Longmont, 303-485-9400 Tasty Weasel Tap Room: 1800 Pike Road, Unit B., Longmont, 303-776-1914 If you want great beer from one of the nation’s top craft brewers to go along with tasty food and live music, then all of the Oskar Blues locations in Lyons and Longmont will fit the bill. From bluegrass to rock, from local bands to touring acts, these venues are a blast. RED ROCKS PARK AND AMPHITHEATRE 18300 W. Alameda Parkway, Morrison, 720-865-2494 This is the real deal. Some of the biggest acts in the world play this venue

and they love it. And fortunately for the audience, it shows in the performances. Red Rocks is a breathtaking 9,450-seat outdoor amphitheatre seemingly carved out of the sandstone cliffs. There is simply no better place to see a show when it comes to setting. BOHEMIAN BIERGARTEN 2017 13th St., Boulder, 720-328-8328 From great local bands to DJs who will keep you dancing all night, this place is a must. Excellent appetizers and full meals plus a great stage in a community beer-drinking setting make this about as fun a night out as anybody could ask for. You may even hear a little Funky Polka. PLANET BLUEGRASS 500 W. Main St., Lyons, 303-823-0848 The Planet Bluegrass Ranch in Lyons is home to the RockyGrass and Rocky Mountain Folks festivals. These threeday events are not to be missed. The Wildflower Pavilion at the ranch also has single-act shows during the spring and fall. There’s nothing like great music along the river by a bonfire. SANITAS BREWING CO. 3550 Frontier Ave., Unit A, Boulder, 303442-4130 The tap room at Sanitas makes a great venue for live music. And it’s also a great place to drink any or all of the somewhere near 20 handcrafted beers these guys keep on tap. LEFT HAND BREWING CO. 1265 Boston Ave., Longmont, 303-7720258 The Left Hand Tasting Room is a fantastic venue for local live music. The place is always full of good energy and some of the nation’s best beer. If you can’t have a great time here, you pretty much suck at fun.

Cost Cutters

Cheap and delicious

In an expensive town that loves food, we’ve got some tips for where to find cheap eats by Maalikah Hartley

et’s face it: College costs and tuition have been rising faster than average inflation for a very long time. Students can no longer work a job and pay their way (fully) through school like their predecessors, and they definitely can’t afford to eat out at the snazziest places around town all the time — which is unfortunate, as Boulder was recently ranked number seven on Livability’s “Top 10 Foodie Cities of 2014.” Students also don’t always have time to prepare a good meal over a hot stove while cramming for tests and Bova’s Market and Grill Chef Fadi Wahdan trying to meet deadlines. So, this isn’t a set of recommendations the elders and truck drivers roam, is Parkway Café of the most sought-after eateries Boulder has to at 4700 Pearl St.You can’t beat their breakfast offer, but a guide for the average student with an prices and there’s a pleasant patio for enjoying appetite to navigate town on a budget. your coffee and eggs. If that’s a little out of your biking range, hop across the street from campus CHEAP EATS to the YeYe Café at the corner of 13th and ColIf you’re trying to get your day started with lege Street, where you can grab some coffee and a a nice meal to last you through classes, then you Venezuelan Cachito for around $6 — although as a might want to hit up The Walnut Café, with two college student your best bet would be to invest in locations, one at Table Mesa Shopping Center and a coffee maker. another at 30th and Walnut. The Huevos RanFor lunch, there are many places on the Hill for cheros are tasty, and there are cheaper a la carte cheap, filling eats, like Kim’s To Go and You and Mee items, but their early morning “Blue Plate” special Noodle House that both offer Vietnamese/Chinese includes two eggs, two bacon strips and two panentrees all for under $8. Project Pie gives you an cakes for $6.85 — you can’t beat it. Their “Cutie 11-inch thin crust pizza with unlimited toppings for Pie” special from 2-3:30 p.m. also gives you a piece $7.85. of pie/cake and coffee for $5. Dot’s Diner on the And if you want to continuously stuff your face Hill also serves two eggs, hash browns and a biscuit but spend a little more, Boulder has a lot of ethnic for $3 before 8:30 a.m., as well as a $1.50 off all food buffets to look up with options from Indian entrees. to Ethiopian. Beau Jo’s Pizza on Baseline also has an Somewhere a little off the beaten path, where all-you-can-eat pizza buffet with soups and a salad 20 August 21, 2014

bar for $9.49. But if you’re in the mood to sit back and watch a game with one of the best cheeseburgers in town, the Dark Horse Bar and Grill gives you just that for $6.50 every day from 3-8 p.m. with a student ID. At the ever popular Snarf’s, small oventoasted sandwiches are $6.24.

TIPS AND TRICKS It may be wise to hang on to your Campus Cash coupon book, but in case you’ve lost it, the coupons are available to print at www. campuscashonline.com. There you’re provided with discounts and deals at the places you might already be eating at like Big City Burrito, The Rib House and Café Mexicali, among others. It also features deals for salons, retail stores and miscellaneous places. Whole Foods also has some surprisingly affordable options. Some pre-packaged super food salads are a $1.65, and small soups are $3 and change. Not the heaviest meal, but still tasty and healthy. Then there are those times when you really want to treat yourself or that special someone, but on a budget. Jill’s, located in the St Julien Hotel, has their French “Ooh La La” lunch buffet for $12.95 (which comes with a glass of rosé, for those over 21), while the funky Japango on Pearl Street provides all-you-can eat sushi, among other items, every Tuesday for $35 (they also provide late-night happy hour), as does sushi chic spot Hapa Sushi. DELIVERY If you have no time to get away from your paper, there are plenty of delivery options in Boulder Student Guide ’14 Boulder Weekly

that bring good eats to your door. Cosmos Pizza is a tried and true Boulder delivery staple, but some unsuspecting places like Moongate Asian Bistro will also deliver. Hungrybuffs.com lets you order online from 89 restaurants around Boulder — some with delivery fees, but some without — and it provides a plethora of food categories as well as a late-night option. Similarly, Restaurant Runners works with restaurants around Boulder to deliver their food to you. From barbeque to Thai, you can simply call up the restaurant, order food and Restaurant Runners will pick it up and deliver to your door for a flat rate of $4 no matter how big the order. Check them out at www. restaurantrunnersboulder.com. LATE NIGHT Whether you’re up all night studying or doing whatever it is you’re doing on Pearl Street or the Hill, there are a few establishments in Boulder that will fill your tummy with food after hours. Pizza places are usually open until 2 a.m., but there is also cheap and plentiful Chinese food served up at Tra Ling’s on the Hill until midnight, while just next door Bova’s Market and Grill has fried goodies, wraps and groceries until 3 a.m. Similarly, the University Hill Market (AKA: the “Smelly Deli”) is open 24 hours. Moving closer to Pearl Street, South Mouth Wings on Arapahoe and Broadway runs until 3 a.m. and deli shops like Lindsay’s on Pearl and Broadway will give you sandwiches and ice cream until midnight on the weekend. The Yellow Deli, farther west on Pearl, is open weekdays for 24 hours until Friday at 3 p.m. Boulder Weekly Student Guide ’14

STEP AFRIKA! Sept. 19, 7:30 p.m. Macky Auditorium Tickets start at $14

Meredith Hanafi Photography

arias, duets and ensemble pieces make for a decadent and enchanting evening of opera. Sung in Italian with English surtitles.

L’INCORONAZIONE DI POPPEA April 23, 2015, 7:30 p.m. April 24, 2015, 7:30 p.m. April 25, 2015, 7:30 p.m. April 26, 2015, 2 p.m.

Step Afrika! fuses the unique, percussive tradition of stepping — in which multiple dancers use clapping, footwork, athletic maneuvers and calling out to create music and high-energy rhythmic dance — with strikingly similar traditions that developed independently in southern Africa.

Monteverdi’s drama about sex, crime and realpolitik during the debauched reign of the Roman Emperor Nero turns conventional morality on its head — virtue is punished and greed rewarded. The score soars but the sensual duet between Nero and his lover — eventually wife — “Poppea, Pur ti miro, pur ti godo” — meaning, “I gaze at you, I possess you” — is the pièce de résistance. Sung in Italian with English surtitles. This production will be styled after the hit Netflix realpolitik series House of Cards, starring Kevin Spacey.

KRONOS QUARTET Oct. 8, 7:30 p.m. Macky Auditorium Tickets start at $14 Join the world-renowned Kronos Quartet for a program that includes a commemoration on the centennial of the outbreak of “the war to end all wars.” “Beyond Zero: 1914-1918,” by Serbian composer Aleksandra Vrebelov musically explores the brutality that set off a century of bloody warfare and features projections of seldom-seen film from World War I.

THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE Oct. 24, 7:30 p.m. Oct. 25, 7:30 p.m. Oct. 26, 2 p.m. Macky Auditorium Gilbert and Sullivan’s beloved comic operetta tells of the coming of age of Frederic, indentured to pirates as a boy, and his desire to leave the buccaneer’s life and marry beautiful Mabel. In keeping with the play’s long tradition, CU Opera’s performances will be spiced up with wry contemporary political references.

MUMMENSCHANZ Nov. 7, 7:30 p.m. Macky Auditorium Masks and props made from everyday objects. For more than four decades, the surreal Swiss theater troupe has brought myth, mystery and plenty of laughter to audiences around the world, using its universal language to explore the human condition.

HOLIDAY FESTIVAL Dec. 5, 7:30 p.m. Dec. 6, 4 and 7:30 p.m. Dec. 7, 4 p.m. Macky Auditorium A lively program of seasonal music and festive holiday decorations inspire sold-out audiences and make the Holiday Festival a beloved annual tradition. Choirs, orchestra, ensembles and faculty soloists from the CU-Boulder College of Music invite you to share the joy and warmth of the season with family and friends.

CHRISTMAS WITH THE KING’S SINGERS Dec. 11, 7:30 p.m. Macky Auditorium The Grammy Award-winning British male sextet The King’s Singers arrives on the cusp of winter to perform an enchanting Christmas concert. With their

303-492-8008 unique melodic arrangements, impeccable vocal blend and trademark playfulness, the ensemble brings wit and warmth to seasonal music, both traditional and contemporary.

BILL T. JONES AND ARNIE ZANE DANCE COMPANY Jan. 22, 2015, 7:30 p.m. Macky Auditorium Choreographed to some of the world’s best-loved and most seminal works of classical music — Mozart, Ravel, Schubert — and performed with live musicians, Bill T. Jones’ astonishingly original, muscular work Play and Play is dance like you’ve never seen it before. Winner of two Tony Awards and recipient of a MacArthur “genius” grant, Jones has continually expanded the possibilities of dance.

MEDESKI, MARTIN AND WOOD WITH ALARM WILL SOUND Feb. 6, 7:30 p.m. Macky Auditorium Get ready for a little jamming, incomparable originality and a lot of fun when the hip, cutting-edge chamber music of Alarm Will Sound blends with the eclectic avant-jazz-funk sound of Medeski, Martin and Wood. The groove-oriented trio, a hit on the jam-band circuit pioneered by the Grateful Dead, and the versatile new-music ensemble will take you on an evening of daring collaboration and thrilling improvisation.

THE ASSAD BROTHERS WITH ROMERO LUBAMBO Feb. 19, 7:30 p.m.

Boulder Weekly Student Guide ’14

Macky Auditorium An exotic Latin flair takes the stage when the Assad Brothers, Brazil’s most celebrated classical guitarists, join with jazz guitar virtuoso Romero Lubambo for “Samba Exótico,” an exploration of Samba and Choros, a popular 19th-century genre that blossomed in Rio de Janeiro. With its roots in Africa and unique fermentation in the coastal city of Bahia, Samba vibrates with the essence of Brazil.

NATALIE MERCHANT WITH THE UNIVERSITY SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA April 2, 7:30 p.m. Macky Auditorium Over her stellar 30-year career, Natalie Merchant has been the driving force behind alt-pop sensation 10,000 Maniacs and embarked on a multi-platinum solo career, always delving deep into the human condition with her lyrical storytelling. Now she brings that same searching literary sensibility and her distinctive vocal style to new heights in a performance of her music, old and new, arranged for an orchestra.

CU OPERA COSÌ FAN TUTTE March 13, 7:30 p.m. March 14, 7:30 p.m. March 15, 2 p.m. Macky Auditorium Mozart’s witty opera buffa follows 24 hours in the lives of two beautiful sisters whose scandalous infidelities make for a comic romp that was considered too hot for audiences even in the early 20th century. Featuring some of the composer’s most sumptuous

Their irresistible blend of virtuosic technique and engaging personality has led The Guardian (London) to proclaim, “The Takács Quartet are matchless, their supreme artistry manifest at every level.”

CAVANI QUARTET Oct. 19, 4 p.m. Oct. 20, 7:30 p.m. Grusin Music Hall The world-famous, all-women Cavani Quartet, named after the 19th-century Italian violin makers Giovanni and Vincenzo Cavani, celebrates its 25th anniversary this year. The Cleveland Plain Dealer says, “Together, these players make music with passionate conviction, as if their lives depended on interaction.”

SPECIAL EVENTS SPRING SWING April 12, 2 p.m. Macky Auditorium Join the CU Concert Jazz Ensemble and guest artists for a swinging return to the Big Band era. The program will feature music from the ensemble’s new recording, a tribute to the greatest bands and composers of the era, including Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller, Duke Ellington, Count Basie and more.

Pigskin preview Buffs have reason to be optimistic By Alex Solomon

ntering the 2014 football season, the Colorado Buffaloes find themselves in a familiar position — the bottom of the Pac-12 Conference’s totem pole. After finishing their 2013 campaign with only one conference victory, many of the major media outlets have picked the Buffs to finish yet again at the bottom of the Pac-12’s South Division. Still, there is reason for the Buff faithful to be optimistic. Head Coach Mike MacIntyre finds himself in his second season at the helm, following a debut season in which MacIntyre collected as many wins as his predecessor, Jon Embree, won from 201112. While Colorado’s 4-8 record last season is an improvement from the lackluster 2012 season that produced just one victory, the Buffs must take another step in the right direction to keep the positive mojo surrounding MacIntyre’s hire alive and well. Adding to the optimism is sophomore Sefo Liufau under center. Liufau was called from the backup ranks in the Buff’s fifth game of the season versus Arizona State, and showed enough promise to start the final seven games of the season. Colorado has lacked an effective playmaker at quarterback since Joel Klatt hung up his spikes following the 2005 season. Liufau’s 6’4’’ frame and ability to throw for 1,779 yards and 12 touchdowns as a freshman gives Buff fans a reason to believe he can help lead Colorado to success. Of course, Liufau is still a work in progress, and MacIntyre is seeking improvement from his signal-caller. “I’m looking for more consistency in making the right reads more often, which means more big plays and more first downs and more scoring opportunities,” MacIntyre told CUBuffs. com. “Those aren’t things you might 40 August 21, 2014

notice, but it starts showing up on the scoreboard and in the stats.” MacIntyre’s sophomore quarterback will have to drive Colorado’s offense without speedy wide receiver Paul Richardson. After 2013, in which Richardson set CU single season records for receptions (83) and receiving yards (1,343), the junior from Los Angeles was deemed the team’s most valuable player and awarded All-Pac 12 honors. Richardson chose to forgo his senior season and make himself eligible for the 2014 NFL draft, and he was scooped up by the reigning Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks with the 45th overall pick. Replacing Richardson’s staggering numbers will be a group effort. Heading the list of wide receivers is junior Nelson Spruce. Spruce was second behind Richardson in receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns. He’s now one of six team captains for the 2014 season. “One guy doesn’t make [Richardson’s] numbers up,” Spruce explained at the Pac-12 media day. “But I think we’re a lot deeper at this position than at any time since I’ve been here. ... I don’t think our passing game is going to slow down at all. We’re going to see more guys making plays — maybe not those kind of big plays, but they’ll be productive.” The deep talent pool at wide receiver that Spruce refers to is made up of Bryce Bobo, Tyler McCulloch, D.D. Goodson, Devin Ross and highly-touted freshman Shay Fields. Sharing the backfield with Liufau will be a stable of running backs who have been productive on the field. Junior tailback Christian Powell has led Colorado in rushing yards the past two seasons, and was recently nominated for the Doak Walker Award given to the best running back in college football. The tailback position is a physically

demanding one, and, again, more than one Buff will need to carry the load. Enter Michael Adkins II, who rushed for more than 500 yards as a freshman last season. Adkins brings more speed and agility, compared to Powell’s bruising downhill running style. The two should compliment each other well, while senior Tony Jones’ experience and 866 career rushing yards will earn him a share of the carries. On the defensive side of the ball, Colorado will need steady improvement from each position if the Buffs want to slow down the high-octane offenses of the Pac-12. Anchoring the defensive line is team captain Juda Parker. The senior from Hawaii makes the move from defensive end to tackle, where he will line up next to fellow returning starter Josh Tupou. While Parker and Tupou are sure to make a lot of plays in opposing backfields, sophomore sensation Addison Gillam will be waiting for running backs that are able to evade CU’s run-stuffing duo. The lightning quick linebacker is coming off a season in which he was

the first freshman in CU history to lead the team in tackles. Behind Gillam is possibly the deepest unit of the team — the defensive secondary. Greg Henderson enters the 2014 season as a four-year starter with five career interceptions. While Henderson is cemented at one of the starting corner positions, returning starter Ken Crawley must fight off junior college transfer Ahkello Witherspoon to keep his job. Jered Bell will once again patrol the defensive secondary after starting 11 games for the Buffs last fall. This group will have to navigate a schedule full of pass-happy teams. This fall brings a new wrinkle in the season-opening game with instate rival Colorado State: This year’s opener will be played on a Friday night at Sports Authority Field at Mile High Stadium in Denver. With only six wins needed to be bowl-eligible, the Buffs have five games they should feel rather confident about winning. The major obstacle will be pulling off an upset against one of the other seven teams.

Hoop dreams

As head coach of the men’s b-ball team, Tad Boyle has made CU a ‘basketball school’ by Alex Solomon

he University of Colorado has never been known as a “basketball school.” Tad Boyle, the head coach of the men’s basketball team, set out to change that when he was hired by CU to take over for Jeff Bzdelik in 2010. Boyle’s transformation of the basketball program began as soon as his first team took to the court. In his first season on the bench at Colorado, Boyle’s Buffs missed out on the NCAA Tournament but earned a spot in the National Invitational Tournament. Beginning with the 2011-12 season, the Buffaloes have made three consecutive trips to the NCAA Tournament, including a run to the Sweet 16 in 2012. “Tad has done something few thought possible — turn Colorado into a basketball school,” Andy Katz of ESPN once said. “The Buffaloes have as much [of] an impact on their new conference as any other team transitioning to a new league and that is a credit to Tad and his staff.” That is high praise for a coach, but it is warranted given that Boyle is the only coach in CU history to not only lead the Buffs to four straight postseason appearances, but the only coach in Colorado history to reach the postseason four times in an entire career. With an extremely athletic and capable group of players returning, all indications point to Boyle leading the Buff’s basketball team to the postseason for the fifth straight time. Last season, the Buffs looked to be on their way towards a historic season. The team began the year 14-2 and climbed all the way to a No. 15 ranking in the polls. The season took a turn for the worse when star point guard Spencer Dinwiddie was lost for the year after tearing his ACL during the University of Washington game. The Buffs were clearly not the same

team without Dinwiddie, who led the team in scoring and assists, while also being the team’s best ball handler and on-ball defender.The loss of Dinwiddie made a difficult stretch through the Pac12 Conference a grind, but the team did enough to make yet another NCAA Tournament. Dinwiddie had also done enough in his two and a half seasons as a Buff to get drafted by the Detroit Pistons with the 38th overall pick in the 2014 NBA draft. A Dinwiddie-less Buffaloes team was eventually overwhelmed by the Pittsburgh Panthers in the round of 64 of the NCAA Tournament, but several freshmen were forced into increased playing time without Dinwiddie, which should bode well for the team during the 2014-15 season. Those freshmen, now sophomores, who were asked to step up in Dinwiddie’s absence include wing players George King and Jaron Hopkins, guard/forwards Tre’Shaun Fletcher and Dustin Thompson and 6’9’’ big man Wesley Gordon. The group is very long, athletic and far more mature after playing significant minutes as freshmen. However, the 2014-15 Buffaloes won’t have to rely on that group of sophomores alone. An exceptional core group of juniors, led by center Josh Scott, will be called on to fill up

Boulder Weekly Student Guide ’14

the stat sheet for Colorado. Xavier Johnson is a dynamic player who can rebound, attack the rim on offense, and shoot from the outside. Johnson scored 12 points per contest for the Buffs while pulling down nearly six rebounds a game. The forward from Los Angeles also plays with enough energy on the court that fans at the Coors Event Center may become tired just watching Johnson run the floor. Johnson isn’t the only Xavier on the team though, as Xavier Talton is a fellow junior who took over the point guard job after Dinwiddie suffered the knee injury. Talton is a reliable ball handler who can hit open three pointers, but will surely be pushed by fellow junior guard Eli Stalzer and incoming freshman Dominque Collier. Collier, a local product out of Denver East High School, is Boyle’s most touted recruit this season and has the potential to win the starting point guard battle as a true freshman. Then there is the aforementioned Josh Scott. One of six players on the roster from the state of Colorado, Scott led the Buffs last year in rebounds, blocks and field goal percentage. Scott’s 6’11’’ frame has already drawn the attention of NBA scouts, and he’s the Buff most likely to join Dinwiddie in the NBA. When paired

on the court with Gordon, Colorado will have two legitimate post players that will make it difficult for opposing teams to out-rebound the Buffs. Still, a college basketball team always needs senior leadership and the Buffaloes will draw that from Askia Booker. Another Los Angeles native, Booker is one of the quickest players in the Pac-12 and has become more confident bringing the ball up the court since Dinwiddie went down last season. Booker has proven he can create his own shot, and did so to the tune of 13.7 points per contest last year. He also led the team with 116 assists and 45 steals.The lightning-quick guard will need to cut down on his 88 turnovers from 2013-14 and distribute the ball more often in order to maximize the wealth of talent around him. Other than Collier, the other freshman whom Boyle is excited to insert into his rotation of roll players is Tory Miller. The 6’9’’, 255-pound forward looks as though he has had a few years of training with CU’s strength and conditioning coach under his belt. The Buff’s non-conference schedule may not share the excitement of last year’s, which included former Big 12 rivals University of Kansas and Oklahoma State. Nevertheless, the schedule does include a home game against in-state rival Colorado State, and an 11 p.m. tipoff against the University of Auburn, which is part of ESPN’s 24-hour College Hoops Tip-Off Marathon on November 17. With football season right around the corner, CU fans are surely anticipating entering the gates of Folsom Field this fall. But with all the chips in place for the Buffaloes’ men’s basketball team to make a fifth straight postseason appearance, there is no doubting that Colorado is officially a basketball school.

Women’s basketball looks to build on a strong foundation of returning players by Alex Solomon Courtesy CUBuffs.com

ead coach Linda Lappe’s fourth season leading the Buffaloes’ women’s basketball team did not go as planned. After all, the 2012-13 season was successful enough to warrant the Buffs earning a No. 5 seed in the NCAA Tournament. Sure, Colorado was upset by the University of Kansas in the opening round of the Big Dance, but the team’s first appearance in the NCAA tourney in a decade was surely something to build on. During the early stages of last season, the Buffaloes looked like a team destined to participate in March Madness for a second consecutive year. After an impressive 11-1 mark to start the season against non-conference opponents, with the team’s only loss coming on the road against a University of Louisville team that finished the season ranked No. 5 in the country, Colorado couldn’t continue that success against Pac-12 foes. The Buffs struggled mightily against stiffer competition, including a dismal 2-7 record in the month of January, which set the stage for a 6-12 conference record. Still, the strong run to start the season helped Colorado earn a place in the National Invitational Tournament. The Buffs won their first two games of the NIT before dropping to the University of Texas at El Paso. The two-win and one-loss performance in the NIT left Colorado with an overall record of 19-15 for the

The snowball effect of poor play in the second half of the 2012-13 season does not diminish the fact that Lappe has a nucleus of talented returning players striving to get the Buffs back to the NCAA Tournament. For instance, Colorado has five of their six top scorers back in Boulder, including Arielle Roberson. Roberson, the younger sister of former Buffalo and current Oklahoma City Thunder forward, Andre, followed up her Pac-12 Freshman of the Year performance two seasons ago by co-leading the Buffs in scoring at 12 points per game as a

Boulder Weekly Student Guide ’14

sophomore. Similar to Andre, Arielle is also ferocious on the boards and paced CU with 8.3 rebounds per contest. Joining Roberson in the post is Jen Reese, who matched Roberson’s effort with 12 points per game herself. While those two will be asked to do the dirty work underneath the hoop, senior Lexy Kresl will be the primary ball handler for the Buffs. The experienced guard led the team in both assists and free throw shooting percentage last season. The exit of graduated seniors Ashley and Brittany Wilson, as well as Rachel Hargis, should open the

door for sophomore Lauren Huggins and junior forward Jamee Swan. Both hoopsters came to Boulder as highly regarded high school standouts, but have yet to make a major statistical impact for the silver and gold. As is with every new season, Colorado will be breaking in another freshman class new to campus. This year’s crop of four recruits includes two towering centers from California. Bri Watts stands 6’2’’, while Zoe Correal is an imposing 6’4’’. These two may just be called to action early in their CU careers due to the departure of Hargis, who was one of the Buffaloes best interior defenders the last few seasons. There is no question the hiring of Lappe, who graduated from CU in 2002 after a successful career as a player, in the spring of 2010 reenergized Colorado women’s basketball program. Early positive returns in the win and loss columns since Lappe’s hiring, coupled with facility upgrades of CU’s Coors Event Center and the recent achievements made by the men’s basketball program have elevated the University’s expectations of its hoops programs. Given the new standard for the University of Colorado basketball, CU’s women’s basketball squad underperformed last season. That is why this season will be crucial for the lady Buffs to build upon last year’s results, and prove that their NCAA Tournament appearance in 2013 is the norm in Boulder and not an anomaly.

Division I sports outlooks and schedules

What’s on the horizon for the Buffs this season, from cross-country to skiing

by Alex Solomons

CROSS-COUNTRY aybe it is the high-altitude training or the tutelage from longtime head coach Mark Wetmore, but CU is home to one of the most dominant cross-country teams in the country. The men’s cross-country team ended the 2013 season with their fourth NCAA title, and look set to continue their ride at the top with all seven harriers returning this season, including four All-Americans — Ben Saarel, Morgan Pearson, Blake Theroux and Pierce Murphy. Jake Hurysz, a 2012 AllAmerican, will also return to the lineup this season. The women had a strong 2013 season, finishing seventh in the country at the 2013 NCAA National Championships. However, this year will be about rebuilding with the loss of fourtime All-American Shalaya Kipp. Kipp is the only runner from CU to be named to the prestigious 46 August 21, 2014

All-American list four times. Luckily, a core group led by Junior Carrie Verdon and sophomores Erin Clark and Melanie Nun will provide the foundation for this year’s team. GOLF (MEN’S AND WOMEN’S) The men’s golf team did the University proud by appearing in last season’s NCAA Southeast Regional. Although they were only capable of finishing 12th, CU should be able to build on that effort as they return all but one member from last year’s team. Among the group of heavy hitters for Colorado is sophomore Jeremy Paul, who held the lowest average strokes per round for CU last year. “The future is very bright,” said men’s head coach Roy Edwards after the Buff’s exit from regionals. On the women’s side, their NCAA Regional tournament sent them to Stillwater, Okla. A 16th-place finish wasn’t what the

Buffs had in mind, but CU will have plans for improvement this season with all five of their top performers returning, including twin sisters Jenny and Kristin Coleman, as well as Pac-12 AllAcademic honorees Alexis Keating and Jamie Oleksiew. WOMEN’S LACROSSE Starting an NCAA varsity program from scratch is never an easy thing to do, and that is exactly the task that head coach Ann Elliott was hired to do for CU’s women’s lacrosse team. In the team’s inaugural season, the Buffs battled to an 11-8 record with a team entirely made up of freshmen, with the exception of Katie Carroll and Sarah Lautman, both of whom were only sophomores. “The first year, you don’t have to win a championship, but you’ve got to make sure the second year, the third year, you’re getting closer,” Elliott told the Daily Camera. “At the end of

the day, what you did the first year is build a culture and build a foundation the right way. I think we’re off to a great start here.” With the foundation in place, and goal scoring threats Johnna Fusco and Cali Castagnola on campus for three more years, CU’s ninth women’s varsity program looks well on its way to competing on a national stage. The CU women’s lacrosse schedule has not been finalized. SKIING CU’s skiing team may just have the highest expectations of any of

the sports on campus, and their 19 National Championships are a big reason why the unit has such lofty goals. The National title count that sits just below 20 is also the reason that Head Coach Richard Rokos was less than thrilled with the team’s fourthplace finish at the NCAA Championships last year. We didn’t deliver and now we know what to do next year,” Rokos told CUBuffs.com. “Trophies don’t matter between second, third or fourth, it’s all the same. We always see DIVISION 1 Page 49

aim for the best, we came here to defend our title. We didn’t shoot for second place.” Although the Buff’s finished a few spots behind Champion Denver University, the ski team can take solace from two individual efforts that were good enough for first place finishes. Mads Stroem, who was named firstteam All-American last year as just a freshman, and Rune Oedegaard each won Nordic events. CU’s women missed out on any top ten performances, but Camilla Brautaaset and Maja Solbakken finished 11th and 12th respectively. The quest for a 20th National Championship starts January 4 at the Pat Miller Invitational in Park City, UT. The CU skiing schedule has not been finalized. SOCCER The Buffaloes’ 2013 season was nothing short of phenomenal. Head Coach Danny Sanchez led CU to the NCAA Tournament, where CU won their first two matches. Their valiant run ended at the hands of Florida State, who beat CU 4-0. While the season was a success, important pieces of the team must be replaced this fall if the winning is to continue. The Buffs return to the pitch without their leading goal scorer and offensive MVP, Anne Stuller, as well as their goalie and defensive MVP Annie Brunner. Brunner, who acted as a brick wall in front of the net for the Buffs graduated in December and has since signed a professional contract with FC Neunkirch of Switzerland. Helping to fill Stuller’s cleats will be Brie Hooks, who was second behind Stuller with eight goals of her own. Along with Hooks, Madison Krauser returns. Krauser tallied six assists to go with four goals. The Buffs have 13 matches at home this season, so don’t miss out on seeing Colorado in action this fall at Prentup Field.

TENNIS The women’s tennis team appeared to be holding its own on the court last season prior to entering the gauntlet that is the Pac-12 Conference schedule. In fact, the Buffs had beaten four out five opponents before reaching the teeth of their schedule, where they were unable to collect a single conference win for the second consecutive year. The Pac-12 results could have been different had Colorado not lost Alex Aiello who was forced to the sideline with an injury in March. Aiello was off to a blazing start to her sophomore season before the injury bug hit her. Still, her efforts on the court were good enough to earn her the second most wins on the team with 19. Aiello’s return to health will be a welcomed addition, but others will need to step up in order to help replace co-MVP Carla Manzi Tenorio. Luckily for the Buffs, the other half of the MVP tandem, Julyette Steur, returns for her senior year. The CU tennis schedule has not been finalized. TRACK AND FIELD As certain as it is that the Buffs will have a good ski team each and every year, it is just as safe a bet that CU will have representatives at the NCAA Track and Field Championships. While the women finished the NCAA Championships in 12th place, and the men a disappointing 64th place, there were still numerous individual standouts from Nationals. Carrie Verdon ran to a 17th place finish in the 5000-meter race. In the 3000-meter steeplechase, Shalaya Kipp took home an impressive fifth place finish, and on the men’s side Blake Theroux could only muster a 17th place finish in the biggest stage that collegiate track and field has to offer. Track and Field is not all about speed, though. In the hammer throw,

The CU track and field schedules have not been finalized. VOLLEYBALL Maybe it was the thin mountain air, but it took Head Coach Liz Kritza a few years before she was able to get the Buffs to play up to their potential. The early struggles of the Kritza era were balanced out with a breakout season for Colorado in 2013. After a 9-11 record in the brutally challenging Pac-12 and a 18-14 overall record, the Buffs entered the NCAA Tournament for the first time since Kritza arrived

on campus. After a first round upset of Iowa State, the Buffs fell to Minnesota in five sets to end their run at the NCAAs. However, CU only lost two regular starters to graduation, while sisters Cierra and Taylor Simpson as well as Nicole Edelman return this year, each of whom earned All-Pac 12 Honorable Mention accolades. Further bolstering the Buffs roster are three impressive incoming freshman as well as middle blocker Rachel Hargis. After four seasons playing for Colorado’s women’s basketball team, Hargis drained her eligibility for hoops. Now that she is enrolled in graduate school at CU, the 6’4’’ crossover athlete is allowed one additional year of eligibility to compete in volleyball. August 21, 2014 49

Unite has big plans for this year’s CU Boulder student government Student leadership looks to unite students for a more impactful student government by Steven Kreimendahl

ven if you participated in your high school’s student government, getting involved in the University of Colorado Boulder’s student government (CUSG) is a whole new ball game. The CUSG is responsible for allocating one of the largest student government budgets in the country at more than $26 million each year. CU’s current student leadership — collectively known as Unite — is looking to take this massive budget and make CU a safer and more diverse place to live and learn. The current CUSG leadership call themselves the “progressive ticket on campus” and “advocates for student groups.” For the triexecutive vote, Unite beat out two other tickets with close to 46 percent of the votes. Yet only 20 percent of the eligible student population voted for student government in this spring’s election. For the 2014-15 school year, the Unite ticket will take CU’s $26 million budget, comprised of collected student fees, and distribute it to different centers on campus, including the Recreation Center, University Memorial Center, Student Legal Services, Student Group Funding Board, Gay Lesbian Bisexual Transgender Queer Resource Center and many other student resources. While the student government has a long list of concerns they would like to address, Unite has several specific areas of focus for the upcoming year, such as improv52 August 21, 2014

ing diversity on campus, bringing awareness to sexual assault, enhancing off-campus safety on the Hill through more lighting, making CU more affordable and giving students a clear line of communication with the student government. By representing all groups and identities, “we’re really trying to tackle diversity from all levels,” says Chelsea Canada, CUSG president of external affairs. Unite was the only ticket to hold open primaries in this last election, giving all eligible student voters the chance to select Unite’s three executive leaders. Unite aims to make students feel safe within the classroom, dorm rooms, campus and Boulder community in general. For on-campus safety, the focus is on fighting sexual assault and adherence to Title IX, says Laura Roberts, president of internal affairs. Title IX is a portion of the federal Education Amendments of 1972 that makes it illegal for any federally funded educational program to discriminate based on a person’s sex. Roberts is part of the sexual assault task force recently created on CU’s campus to address these issues. They are looking into a safety app for smartphones that will help students get immediate assistance in emergencies and ease the ability to report incidents. The main safety concern off campus is with a lack of adequate street lighting, especially on the Hill. The student government has been in contact with the City of Boulder about increasing lighting on the Hill for the past two to three years, says

Roberts, but there has only recently been traction on this issue. When Canada refers to a “lack of diversity” on campus, she says she means that everyone does not always feel included. Roberts says the student government is looking to make the funding for student groups easier, allowing for a diverse set of organizations to be created and thrive. Roberts says that student frustration she has seen throughout the year has been focused around the cost of coming to CU, in terms of both housing and tuition. “Boulder is an expensive place and college is expensive,” says Roberts. The CUSG is working to help make CU affordable for everyone who wants to attend CU to be able to afford it, which they believe may increase diversity on campus. “We are helping navigate and investigate the way the city can help CU with affordable housing,” says Canada, who adds that housing costs alone limit the accessibility and affordability of the university. The student government is also working with different schools across the state to create a united front asking state legislature for an increase in funding for higher education. As of 2011, Colorado ranked 48th in the nation in per-student funding for higher education, with CU only receiving 4.4 percent of its total budget from state funding. The last area of focus this year for the CUSG is transparency and visibility to the student population. “It’s hard for us to reach them,”

says Canada. Tabling is not effective, says Canada, therefore, the CUSG is looking into other ways to better communicate to students. They are looking to social media, and had the idea to create BuzzFeed-type articles, with shorter text and more images, to get students to read it. It is not just important for the student government to be able to communicate with the student body, but also the student body to be able to talk to the student government. Unite has created the Unite the Buffs initiative to allow students to create their own petitions, gain student body support and put the issue in front of the student government. “It’s a great opportunity to see the needs of the students,” says Canada. She added that she hopes it will allow the student government to more easily respond to areas of concern within the community. The online portal is still under construction, with the hopes it will become operational at some point during the fall semester. According to Roberts, in its second year in control of the student government, the Unite ticket has gained a great relationship with the university administration. This allows for the student voice to be heard by the administration. “We get students into meetings that students have never been to before,” says Roberts. While the administration does not always agree with the student government, he says, it is important to just have the dialogue in the first place.

Don’t wait until you’re sinking to grab onto an academic life raft Where to find support for your studies by Andrea Neville

oing to college is a full-time job in itself,” says Peter Freitag, interim assistant dean for the College of Arts and Sciences at CU Boulder. It is perfectly normal to feel academically overwhelmed, but CU offers countless resources for students to help them excel. It may seem impossible at first, but with a little organization, you can actually manage to do well in school and have fun. During your first year, it is especially challenging to figure out how to do everything you want to do while still maintaining your desired GPA. Says Freitag, “Whether you go to your academic advisor, or a faculty member or TA, realize that there are a lot of resources out there for you. ... I think [students] aren’t used to asking for help. They think ‘I can do better next time.’ By that time it may be too far down the road for them to make a really solid recovery. “As a result, they don’t think about: Are there things out there that I could be doing, should I talk to the faculty member, to the TA, should I find a tutor, should I talk to my academic advisor about what possibilities are out there?” Freitag continues. “I think they just wait too long before they actually take decisive action.” Where do you turn for help? “I think the first place to go, in almost all cases, would be your advisor,” says Freitag. “It’s not that that person will be able to help you study better, but that individual will have all of the resources that will be available to you and as a result you go to them

and you don’t have to spend the time trying to find what’s out there.” Many students are reluctant to seek help. “They’ve never needed that kind of help before, so they don’t recognize the warning signs. They think they can get over it themselves,” Freitag says. “There is also a sense, particularly in going to see a faculty member or a TA, for some students it’s almost a sign of weakness or that they aren’t intelligent enough.” If you are having trouble with a certain class and need some extra guidance, tutors are available to help. There is nothing more frustrating than not understanding something and feeling too nervous to ask because you don’t want to look foolish in front of a large classroom full of peers. “Tutoring is a remarkable thing and the people who they choose to be tutors are proven successful in the courses that they may be having difficulty in,” says Freitag. A tutor, for example, can help you get organized and learn how to fit everything into your schedule. Free tutoring is available for students who live in residence halls and in many of the different colleges of study as well. “I think the writing support center is a wonderful place for people to go and that many departments for many classes will have help sessions,” Freitag says. The Writing Center is available to help you with that big term paper. From the concept to the outline to the body of the paper, they will help see ACADEMICS Page 54

Taking advantage of services like one-on-one tutoring can help keep students on top of their academics.

ACADEMICS from Page 53

you get your thoughts onto paper in an organized fashion. Plus, sometimes working one-on-one can make all the difference. Trained professionals at the Counseling and Psychological Services Center are also ready to hep with academic support. “We work very closely with the CAPS center,” notes Freitag. “They have a wonderful program called ‘Bounce Back’ in which students who are on academic probation or who have been scholastically dismissed get to meet with a group of other students in similar situations.” The program also benefits students who are having academic difficulties and are heading toward academic probation. Another great place for struggling students who live in residence halls to go is the Academic Support Assistance Program (ASAP). The Student Academic Success Center (SASC) is also available and focuses on assisting low income and first generation college students. Freitag also stressed the importance of studying in a group. 54 August 21, 2014

“I think one of the things that students don’t think about a lot is that in high school, emphasis was placed on individual work, so they aren’t used to forming study groups and working together,” Freitag says. “It’s terrific to be in a study group situation because the students who aren’t getting it sometimes will get it when they hear an explanation from a student rather than from a faculty member.” Once you have received help and are back on your feet, what can you do to avoid falling into the same pitfalls? Work diligently on your studies and seek help before it is too late. “If you want to succeed academically,” Freitag says. “For every hour you spend in class you should be spending two to three hours outside of class. Most students did not have to apply themselves that much in order to be successful [in high school].” “There are lots of things out there that students can do to be successful,” Freitag says. “The big thing is to recognize that at the first sign of difficulty you need to do something. Don’t assume that things are just going to get better by themselves.”

Advice from the pros

We’ve been there, so let us give you some tips by Boulder Weekly staff

hen we say “pros,” we really just mean we made it through college. We were just as lost as you when we got there, but here are some of the things that we learned on our collegiate journeys that we hope will make your experience just a little better. • Consider college your 40-houra-week, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. job. Do your work from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m., and you can take your evenings and weekends off. This is, we assure you, a far healthier system than doing your partying from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m., your homework until 2 a.m. and your sleeping until noon. • Join student government. It’s a way for you to make an impact, meet people and learn new things about yourself and the world around you. • No one who asks you “What are you doing after you graduate?” is going to hold you to a contract that binds you to doing that when you actually do graduate. Don’t panic. Just give them an answer, even if you change it every semester. It gives adults a comforting sense that you are headed in some — any at all — direction. • A great way to save money is not to have a car. • Register for a fitness class every semester. The cost to your time and budget is minimal, but the cost of not developing healthy habits could be your life. Eventually. • Eat on the cheap by finding out which student events are catered. • Find space in your class schedule to take a course that immerses you in something far from your

realm of experience — maybe that’s poetry, maybe that’s physics, maybe that’s African influences in American music. It’s a big university. There will be something out there for you. • Your high school guidance counselor was useless; your college guidance counselor can save you tens of thousands of dollars and years of your life by making sure your courses all line up towards graduation. • Start a band. • Under no circumstances are you to blow the entirety of your credit card limit on cute dresses, late night pizza deliveries and ski passes.You can blow a lifetime’s worth of good credit ratings faster than you realize. • You’ll learn as much or more from the non-sports extracurricular activities you participate in as your classes. So don’t knock chemistry club or debate team. • Get your feminist training wheels out by insisting people call you a “first year student” instead of the gender-exclusive “freshman.” • No matter what your friends say, trying to drink 21 shots on your 21st birthday is a bad idea. • What you major in may not matter as much as you’d like to think, but the work experience that you’ve gotten can make a big difference. So find a place to get some real work experience, like an internship. • This is a new chapter of your life, so do something new. Never rock climbed? There’s a climbing wall at the Rec Center. Always thought learning to tango would be cool? CU has a Tango Club. Wanna hula hoop like those chicks you saw at Bonaroo? Go to the Boulder Circus Center on Wednesday nights at 8. You are 18 and fearless.

Get inspired, get connected, get involved

From jobs to volunteering to Greek life, CU’s got a way for you to get involved by Scott Fromberg

ororities, frats, volunteering at the local farmers’ market or recycling, whatever your extracurricular poison, CU Boulder’s got it. With more than 300 groups and counting, there’s something for everyone on campus. Let’s take a look at some of the ways you can get out there and meet folks, develop new skills and give back to your community.

and environmental literacy programs along with preparing students for leadership. “All of the permanent staff are really dedicated to helping the students learn how to handle projects on their own,” Woychal says. “It really forces students to think outside the box, be creative and learn how to do better to get the job done.” To apply or volunteer at the environmental center, visit www.ecenter. colorado.edu

ENVIRONMENTAL CENTER The CU Environmental Center is the largest student-run organization of its kind, with around 110 student employees, 400 volunteers and five unpaid internships. “Getting involved with campus life has many benefits for students now and for later on,” says Becki Woychal, who works for the center. Woychal describes the organization in presentations during new student orientations as a “way to foster sustainable behavior on campus.” Being in front of big groups used to startle her, but working at the E-Center has helped her get past that fear. “We’ll have energy outreach events,” says Woychal. “The Environmental Center and Facilities Management also partner to do campus recycling where students sort through the trash at the recycling center.” The center also runs sustainable transportation, campus sustainability

VOLUNTEER RESOURCE CENTER According to Taylor Schneider, a senior theology major who works as the events coordinator at CU’s Volunteer Resource Center, students can use the VRC to connect with volunteering opportunities they might never have considered. “We hook up volunteers with an organization in Boulder that they’re really going to enjoy working with,” says Schneider. One way the VRC helps students achieve volunteer bliss is to let them “test drive” a project that interests them through the Better Boulder, Better World program. This allows students to volunteer with a local organization to get a feel for what they do. With more than 250 community organizations in the Boulder/Denver area to choose from, Schneider encourages students to check out the VRC website and fill out the volunteer opportunity form to get started.

Went to sleep at 3. Has class at 8. “Find out what you like, what you don’t like and what you’re looking for. We have events pretty much every month. Shoot us an email or come to our office, which is in the UMC.” GLBTQ RESOURCE CENTER Located in the Center for Community (that’s the C4C), the Gay Lesbian Bisexual Transgender Queer Resource Center provides members with workshops and training that promote a safer environment for the GLBTQ community. “Part of our mission is educating the campus to create a more inclusive environment both inside and outside of the classroom,” says Morgan Seamont, assistant director of the GLBTQ Resource Center. “We have 12 different student groups that are affiliated with our office, such as Biforia for bisexual students, the Gay and Straight Alliance, and Queer and Trans People of Color.” GLBTQ works to educate students by giving presentations to promote awareness of issues associated with the GLBTQ community, says Seamont. The GLBTQ Center offers internships, student groups and volunteer opportunities for all interested students. GREEK LIFE “With a campus this size ... the most important thing about joining a sorority and a fraternity is it does make our very large community smaller,” says Stephanie Baldwin, coordinator for Greek Life and Leadership program on campus. In 2014, a Gallup Poll reported that students who were members of sororities or fraternities had a higher sense of well-being after college. “These students have an opportunity to live with each other, socialize with each other but also work very hard and gain real world experience that many students don’t always get,” Baldwin says. “They manage very large budgets, they’re doing event

planning for hundreds of people and lots of leadership training and personal development. It enhances, I think, the college experience.” The registration process begins in May and recruitment begins in September. “During recruitment week, prospects will go visit all of the nine chapters that are participating in formal recruitment … people can see the house,” says Baldwin. “We are all value-based organizations, but each of our organizations value something different and another thing that separates them apart is their philanthropy. While the chapters are selecting their recruits, the recruits are selecting what chapters they want to be a part of.” Multicultural Greek organizations provide students, regardless of gender, exciting opportunities to develop leadership skills, cultural awareness, solid academic scholarship and a chance to participate in community service. STUDENT INVOLVEMENT OFFICE To take getting involved one step further, there will be a student involvement fair at the University Memorial Center on Sept. 3 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. There, students will be greeted by more than 100 student groups and campus organizations. Students can come to CU Late Night where they can attend free events like Battle of the Bands or Poetry Slams, or they can come to Dennis’s Small Cultural Center, where there are free multicultural events, dance lessons and film screenings. Students can also volunteer with Program Council, a group that arranges live entertainment. Whatever your interests are, CU has a wide variety or groups and organizations to become involved with. At www.sofo.colorado.edu, students can find a comprehensive list of all the groups offered at the university.
