3. Auraria adopts campus weapons ban
The Auraria Board of Directors unanimously adopted a new policy banning weapons from campus at its regular meeting last week. The policy takes effect immediately.
Revised after some of the board directors raised objections about the broad definition of weapons, the policy defines weapons as "any firearm, BB gun, pellet gun, bow and arrow, cross-bow, slingshot, cross-knuckles, knuckles of lead, brass or other metal, any bowie knife, dirk, dagger or similar knife, or any knife having the appearance of a pocket knife, the blade of which can be opened by a flick of a button, pressure on the handle or other mechanical contrivance."
The revised policy includes the following explanation: "The policy is not intended to include standard cosmetic, wardrobe or convenience items such as tweezers, nail clippers, mini Swiss army knives, and belts and belt buckles."
The next step is implementation, said Dean Wolf, AHEC executive vice president for administration. "Now we will establish procedures put together to ensure an even application of the policy across campus." Wolf added that campus Police Chief Heather Coogan will meet with student judicial officers to explain the new policy.

Industrial
Design students develop Broncos tailgate displays That's because they designed the entryway of the giant tent used for tailgating parties. Work began back in May when the Denver Broncos approached the Industrial Design Department looking for assistance in designing the tent's entryway and interior. The students - seniors Benjamin Jimeniz, Grant Kloster, Joe Stafford and Eric Zeitlin - signed on for the project and spent the summer meeting with Broncos' marketing staff, developing drawings and creating the displays. The students completed the work early Monday afternoon, just hours before the party began for the home opener. "The Broncos were just extremely pleased with the way the students handled themselves and with the quality of work," said industrial design Professor John Schmidt. Schmidt added
that the project was also a fantastic opportunity for the students.
"When you have the opportunity to develop something for a professional
sports team, that's a pretty terrific thing to have in your portfolio."
