4. Aurarians to step up for AIDS Walk
A team from the Auraria campus will join thousands of walkers in AIDS Walk Colorado, the Rocky Mountain region's largest AIDS fund-raiser, on Sunday, Aug. 22, in Cheesman Park. Registration opens at 8 a.m.; the walk begins at 9:30.
A 3.1 mile walkathon, AIDS Walk raises money to help provide services to the thousands of people living with HIV/AIDS. Auraria has fielded a team for more than 10 years and consistently ranks in the top ten fund-raising teams, according Karen Bensen, director of the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender (GLBT) Student Services office.
This year, the Auraria Team's top five fund-raisers will share in $500 worth of prizes to be awarded by the team. In addition team members who raise at least $35 will receive a T-shirt.
The team is accepting members through Friday. Contact Bensen at 303-556-6488 to register.

Surrounded
by Roadrunners Hathaway-Clark had been invited as an expert to answer calls about getting ready for college. He was to give callers advice that was not specific to Metro, but rather to attending college in general. He'd be answering questions such as why go to college, how to look for a college, how to apply and how to pay for it. "As it turned out, the very first person I met at the door of the station was a young lady named Carrie who'd just graduated from Metro," Hathaway-Clark said. "She was there auditioning for an internship and was going to be the one taking and screening the phone calls." Two more Roadrunners followed: the "What's Up" disc jockeys. Tony V. is a Metro State graduate and J.J. attended Metro. Over the two hours of the show, Hathaway-Clark fielded call after call, many that he says were from current Metro students as well as those hoping to go to Metro. "There were a lot of personal stories from kids attending Metro and maybe not getting enough family support," he said. "They were asking about financial aid, so the last 45 minutes or so were devoted to financial issues." Hathway-Clark says the experience was extremely positive. "I was able to give the kids some good information and encouragement that college is within their grasp. It was great having so many current and potential Metro students calling in, not to mention those working at the station. It spoke well of Metro."
