Two More Attacks

Police Seek Clues Robert Davis Editor

Auraria Public Safety officials are investigating one of two recent assaults-the fourth and fifth attacks reported to campus officials in six months. Campus police are looking for clues in an alleged sexual attack on a female student Aug. 5 near parking lot C at Larimer and 7th streets, according to Dave Rivera, director of Auraria Public Safety. Police have no leads, Rivera said, partly because of a three-week time span between the assault and the victim's report. "Denver police have inactivated the case," Rivera said, "because of a lack of leads or evidence or other information related to a suspect." The APS department will continue searching for witnesses and clues, but Rivera said he doesn't expect to solve the crime because possible evidence was destroyed during the three weeks between the crime and its report. The other sexual assault reported to APS involved a female who said her attacker held her hostage all night in the area of Speer Boulevard andChampa Street, taking her to the Auraria Library the next morning. Once at the library, the man left her alone and she went home, she told officers. The victim decided not to file a report with APS or Denver police, Rivera said. She also waited several

weeks before notifying police of the alleged attack. Since she never filed a report with APS and the information she gave police officers was sketchy, Rivera's department is not investigating the report. The victim who claimed to be attacked near parking lot C described her assailants as two black males about 5 feet to 6 feet tall with a thin to medium builds. Although the descriptions were similar to previous assault reports on campus, Rivera said they were not being investigated as connected. 路 "I can't say there are any tremendous similarities," Rivera said, "but I can't really blanketly eliminate the possibilities." Overall crime patterns on campus have not increased recently, Rivera said. Last year IO to 12 assaults on campus were reported, and statistics for August showed a decrease in crime from last year, he said. Campus police have increased "visibility on campus," according to Rivera, who suggested people team up when walking to their cars and take ' note of suspicious people and events. Rivera said his staff are checking the campus for dangerous areas, such as locations that are not well lit. He encouraged students, faculty and staff to report campus areas where they feel vulnerable. In case of emergency, call Auraria Public Safety at 556-2222 or dial 911.

Valvano Gives Metro Two Points Scott Moore Sports Editor

The Metro State basketball program got a shot in the arm last Wednesday during a pep rally that featured one of the most exciting and successful sports figures in America today. Jim Valvano is the coach that took North Carolina State to the finals of the u NCAA basketball tournament two ~ years ago. His team was an underdog .E' to everyone in America, including a .[ Washington Post writer who said, t "Trees would tap-dance, elephants !: would drive in the Indianapolis 500, _, and Orson Welles would skip breakfast,

__ f

lunch and dinner, before N.C. State would figure out a way to beat Houston." Well, North Carolina State won that game and in doing so became one of the most famous teams in history. Valvano pointed his talent at the Metro crowd and left 250 enthused Roadrunner fans beaming with newfound excitement. Although he shared much of his person a 1 success story with the delighted crowd, Valvano said his appearance was to help rally the MSC basketball team that could be on the brink of something big. co111i1111ed 011 page 16

Funds for Metro North and South to be Decided Patricia Beckman Reporter

·.-...

•

Metro iS still awaiting a decision from the Colorado Commission for Higher Education (CCHE) determines whether public funds will continue to aid the financing of Metro's Extended Campus Credit Program. The ECCP, a service that provides fully accredited courses throughout· Denver, is currently funded by a combination of public taxes and student tuition. The CCHE is determining whether full-time-equivalent (FTE) students at the ECCP's two major locationsMetro North and Metro South-should be included in the enrollment cap of 10,2.57 and be accounted for in the school's budget provided by the Joint Budget Committee. "The challenge is that perhaps we should not be able to count those courses and the FTE hours earned in those courses as a part of our funding base," said Andrew Breckel, assistant vice president for off-campus programs. . If the CCHE decides that only a percentage of the FTE students may be included in the budget, then some courses will need to be cash funded.

Breckel said the ECCP will have to earn enough revenue from student tuition to pay course expenses. The CCHE probably will consider professional-type courses such as business classes as priority for public funding, because they are Metro's major curriculum, Breckel said. Liberal arts courses, on the other hand, may not be supported by public funding. "Literature courses would probably have a problem," Breckel said. "History courses would have a problem. We'll have a problem with all of our education courses. "This is unfortuante ... we have a great demand for education courses at those locations, because of the number of teachers in those areas. "But that doesn't mean we can't offer them. We will offer them," he said. Breckel and John Montgomery, assitant director of the ECCP, said Metro South and Metro North provide a service offering educational opportunity in two of Denver's major growth areas. They said the people enrolled in these classes are taxpayers and should be entitled to this service providing educational opportunity. Metro North is located 11 miles

north of downtown in Westminster at Front Range Community College. Metro South is near the Denver Technological Center at West Middle School. Part of Metro's responsibility has been to be accessible to the population of the four-county metropolitan area, Breckel said. . Metro North and Metro South are the result of about a year's worth of demographical surveys. "We began to take a closer look at the demographics of the students who we ·t- coming to Metro in 1980," Breckel said, "and also looked at the expanding growth occurring in the whole metro area. "Demographers pointed out that probably by the yuear 1990, the center of the Metropolitan Denver area probably would be the Denver Tech Center." The ECCP decided to hold some of their classes near the Denver Tech Center. because the business and residential communities are expanding and many Metro students are coming from that community. "We need to physically adapt ourselves to where people are willing to come," Breckel said. And people were willing to come.

The program immediately attracted a thousand people, and has maintained that numberr in every semester since it started in the Fall of 1981. Breckel said the program is convenient for students who work during the day and don't feel like commuting 10 miles downtown to take classes. Eventually, Montgomery said, students will have to come down to Auraria to complete their degree, but for now the courses encourage people to start or continue their college education. It also give people an idea of what Metro is about. Breckel said if the program hadn't been so successful the funding would have never become an issue. "The fact is that it's been a very successful activity to the point that other institutions in Colorado would like to be operating out there and are trying to," he said. The CCHE is trying to determine where to draw the line on how much of these programs should be publicJy supported. "They (the CCHE) are willing to sit down and negotiate with us about what we can have funded out there, and what we can't have funded ," Breckel said. !bat's a good positive step."D

Metro to Start Froroity?

(.•

Mf'tro could become the home of the first coed fraternity I sorority (froroity) in Colorado, if two Metro students succeed in their attempt to charter the new organization. "It's time to stay around campus and do something -- get involved," said Scott Marsh, president of the proposed froroity . . Marsh said the froroities' purpose is to encourage more social activity on campus as well as promote superior scholastic achievement. The froroity will be the first of its kind in Colorado, although there are similar organizations in California, Marsh said. Marsh and vice-president Pat Prouse said they want to get women involved as much as men. "We want to get rid of the little sister idea," Prouse said. "Many fraternities across the country have little sister organizations which are part of, but not members of the fraternities they serve." Marsh and Prouse are seeking support from the National Chapters, an organization they hope will sponsor the froroity and give it credibility. National Chapters oversee fraternities and sororities across the country and is the organization which will, if accepted, assign a Greek symbol and official title to the froroity. "Once people know we are backed Greek-wise, we will get the national recowiition we need," Marsh said.

Prouse referred to the financial obstacles the froroity must overcome, when he said, "We feel once we get Greek backing, it will break down the (financial) wall." Marsh said the froroity has the full support of MSC President Paul Magelli. "They're all for it," Marsh said. Still, the froroity needs additional funding and Marsh said he plans to visit Denver Mayor Federico Pena's office to see if they would be interested in helping finance the idea. Metro is. the main backer of the organization, but all three Auraria schools are welcome, Marsh said. He added he was looking into grants and loan possibilities from the schools. Marsh said he plans to contact local Realtors this week about a house that would hold 40 or more students. He said he would like to find an empty warehouse near Thirsty's, but if not, a house within walking distance from Auraria would be the second choice. Last week, organizers collected more than 200 signatures from students interested in such an organization, according to Marsh. He said the response proved there is a definite interest for increased social activity on campus. They hope to have a house by the beginning of next year, when they will begin to recruit members with Pledge and Rush week activities, Marsh said. 0

Metropolitan State College hosted an awards ceremony for 23 ROTC cadets Sept. 12, in front of St. Cajetan's Rectory. The ceremony was for the cadets who particip::tted in advanced camp, a six-week summer training program held in Ft. Lewis, Washington, last July. Laura Strickland, an MSC senior, received the top battalion award, the Camp Recondo Award, which she won after competing with 260 men and women cadets from throughout e Westem states. Strickland laced

first in every competitive military maneuver in which she participated. Charles Branch, dean of the Schoo of Education, Professional and Technological Studies, assisted in presenting the awards. "Laura Strickland's performance was outstanding," Branch said. "She beat everybody-both men and women." Other awards, including the distiguished military students award, were presented to 11 cadets who ranked in the upper third of advanced camp activities and the upper half academicalJy.

Students Sound Off on Financial Aid Red Tape lowing conversahtJn8?

If you identified this scenario as the MSC Financial Aid Office, then you've been eavesdropping there, too. Or perhaps conversing there. One MSC senior had the following experience:

STlTDENT: Could you see if my scholarship check is in? RECEPTIONIST: Sure. (Minutes later) Yes. It's here. You need to get this notarized.Just a minute. (Several minutes later) Our notary isn't here right now ..I don't know where she went; she left without telling anyone where she was going. Let's see, they took out $52 for insurance. Did you want insurance? STl'DENT: No, I waived the insurance. RECEPTIONIST: Oh well, they took it out anyway. You need to go to the business office, take your waiver,and let's see, you'll need a copy of your guarantee and the waiver. And show it to them, and let's see.... {The student cranes her neck over the desk, looking at her check.) STUDENT: I thought the amount was going to be $400. RECEPTIONIST: Hmmmmm. The check is for $174. Let me check on this. (~inutes later) Yes. I found out. This will be coming in two disbursements. Yes. Two disbursements. OK? STllDE:'\T: OK.

STUDENT: (on the telephone with MSC Financial Aid Office) Hey, look. I can't even pay the rent. If all my checks clear, 111 be in trouble. First, I was notified by the state_that my GSL should be available by the first day of school, then I was told by the bank that it could take another week at the most; so I kept writing checks. Now your office tells me that it could be another three weeks. What recourse do I have? My own bank won't loan me any more money because I worked as a temp this summer. VOICE: Well, you can come down here and apply for an emergency loan. This the student does, going to the MSC Finacial Aid Office early - 8:25 a.m. At 8:35 a.m. the reception office doors are still locked. The student goes to the nearest open door - a rupture in the bowels of the Financial Aid Office. People look up from desks or walk around lazily. STUDENT: What's the holdup? There's a line forming outside the office. PERSON'.'JEL: Oh, really?

The doors open at 8:40 a.m. The student stands in line for 20 minutes. STUDENT: I need to apply for an emergency loan. RECEPTIONIST: That's not this office. It's in the Student Center, Student Support Services. Here, I'll get you the room number. The student walks over. Student Support office hours conflict with the student's morning class schedule. She goes back in the afternoon. The date is Friday, Sept. 13. STUDENT: I need about $800. A Student Support officer, Tom Steinmeyer, grins with the cheerful hysteria of an absurdist. STEINMEYER: You can only apply for $120. That's the maximum amount. But we are completely out of funds. {pause and smile) You can fill out an application if you want. Just in case I'm able to locate some funds. STUDENT: \Vhat's the likelihood of that? STEINMEYER: I don't know. (Beautific smile) The student fills out the fonn. She, too, starts laughing. "Amount-$800." Steinmeyer crosses the figure out and writes in $120. The student later relates her story to a friend, who tells her, "You should have asked for a zillion." The forgoing illustrates a long-recognized problem-that social welfare (or assistance programs, if you prefer) seem to be set up to discourage applicants and recipients. Or, as Richard )Jixon said in a speech to the nation, August 1969: "{The) federal welfare quagmire .. ,is failing to meet elementary human, social and fin andal needs of the poor. It breaks up homes. It often penalizes work. It robs recipients of dignity. And it grqws." Tragi-comic stories are legion on this campus and elsewhere, and while the welfare problem has been talked about for decades, welfare reform is still in the finger-pointing st.ages. "You want to talk to me about office inefficiency?" said Cheryl Judson, MSC Financial Aid director. "The problem is the institution. Weare under-staffed, under-equipped, unautomated, undertrained, and I am constantly being audited for every dollar of the $8 million that comes through this office. I have no full-time receptionist - not that there's enough space for more personnel. Do you mind if I get a glass of water? Judson also faulted Colorado's hiring system and Congress. "I have to hire from the top four of about 40,000 people who take the state's test after I interview them. There was a 12-month hiring freeze until July l. Then when the school reorganized from seven schools with seven deans to three schools with three deans, that put four deans and their staff out of work. They bumped (staff from higher to lower positions). People with seniority could take jobs they knew nothing

about. And in fact, it's happened here. "I had a great staff assistant - one who really knew her stuff - one who had lower seniority than a staff assistant two, who bumped her. She came in July 1 and knew zero. Not her fault, but you can see the obstacles to efficiency. "I've seen three presidents in the 13 months I've been here. All have been great, but I get one trained, and he leaves. I spend a lot of time talking and explaining, not implementing." Two of Judson's six office typewri~ ters work, and only four counselors must work with more than 3,500 financial aid applicants, she said. "We have five computer terminals, butonly one of us knows how to us it. It's like cavemen trying to move Lear jets. "But we will be automated by this time next year. MSC President Magelli agreed to give me the software I need, and I have a contract, and he's going to sign it." Judson blames Congress for Pell Grant delays. The legislators waited until the last week in July to determine grant amounts. The Financial Aid Office also was issued a new 101-page manual of federal regulations. "It's disorganized, and I received it Aug .. 2. That gave me three weeks to figure out what information I now need from students," Judson says. "Why does every financial aid office in the country have to reinvent the wheel?" About those Pell Grants-some students might wonder if "Pell" is an acronym for " Probably Eventually (too) Little (too) Late." It is not. The grants are named for Sen. Claiborn Pell, Dem-R.I. · Financial Aid Office assistant director Carol Garnett said Friday that, although the money is in, students probably won't be notified of eligibility until late this month or early October. More than 2,000 student applications must be audited (as of this writing) to determine award amounts. Five people, at most, will be assigned this task if Judson can get approval to hire three temporary workers. The temporaries must be trained in the procedures of reading student files. Garnett's forecast on the availability of awards may be overly optimistic. If financial aid programs fall short of their presumed goal of helping the poor to to pursue an education, students may forfeit good credit ratings, meat, shoes, underwear, autos, rent, sundries and sleep. Student also will continue to stand in line, become angry {perhaps varicose) and remain frustrated. "It's a zoo sometimes. They seem to lose a lot of contents to people's files, and give you the runaround. But it's better than it used to be." - Gary Brown, MSC sopomore "I think it's pretty good. I've been working real closely with Cheryl (Judson) on some problems. She's efficient." - Deborah Davidson, senior.

Metro BASE Jumpers are on Top of the World Metropolitan Staff Writer

They are on top of the world-literally. Their excitement comes from jumping off bridges, buildings, antennas, cliffs and anything else that is a challenge-with only parachutes on their backs. Brian Veatch and Robin Heid are two of only 85 people in the world considered to be BASE-jumpers. Heid, a graduate from Metro State, is rated 44th in the world. He began skydiving when he was in the 82nd Airbom Division in the army. A few years later he decided to try BASE-jumping. He's been doing it ever since. Heid has tried BASE-jumping off of everything from smoke-stacks to the United Bank Building in downtown Denver. But he said that the thrill of going "from zero to 70 (miles per hour) in three seconds" makes all the risks worth while. Veatch, currently enrolled at MSC, began sky-diving when he was 17-years-old. "I bought myself a parachute for my 17th birthday and had to have my parents sign a release form, so I could jump," Veatch said. Since then Veatch has made 477 parachute jumps. It was only when he met Heid on the MSC campus that he began BASEjumping. "One of us saw the other with a skydiver on a T-shirt that be was wearing, and that was it," said Heid. Although they both enjoy the same sport, they look at BASE-jumping from different perspectives. "I look at BASE-jumping as more of a stunt," Veatch said. "The reason I BASE-jump is more for exposure and experience ... l'm not your typical BASE-jumper, I'm your typical stuntman." Veatcb claims to be the top stuntman in Colorado, and has appeared in magazines such as "American Flyer," as a result of his reputation as a stuntman. Although BASE-jumping may appear to be glamorous or perhaps even relatively simple, they claim it is not. "A stuntman must be a techni-

cian ... He must take into consideration the location, the height, and the wind conditions." Veatch said. "We have to test to make sure these conditions are exceptable. As a matter of fact, we have aborted several jumps. The one (jump) for CBS, we bad looked at the situation the day before and I had decided, due to the conditions and the terrain, I wasn't going to jump. But the next day we went out and the weather was acceptable, so I went ahead and made the jump."

No chances are taken unnecessarily. Limits are set for how far they fall before pulling their first parachute and then they have three seconds to cut away (their parachute) and pull the reserve parachute, which could be a life or death decision. "As a stuntman, I want to be around to spend the moneylll" Veatch said. Meanwhile, Veatch continues to negotiate contracts for stunts in movies, as well as being a full-time student at MSC.

"I believe this school will teach me to not only be a communications major, but will teach me to think," Veatch said. He said thinking is one of the main criteria for BASE-jumping. Heid, on the other hand, plans to keep BASE-jumping as long as he has the opportunity, while holding down a full-time job as a communications consultant for Greenpeace. "H I couJd make large amounts of money, I would do it for a living," Heid said. o

LETTERS

Story Subject Urges Students to Share Life Editor, As the subject of last week's MetroStyle, I felt compelled to write and say thank-you for such sensitive handling of a delicate issue. Rose Jackson did an excellent job with the process of interviewing. Kenneth and I and in the actual writing of the story. However, in the telling of a difficult story, part of the message I had wished to get across seemed to have been omitted. I would like to take this opportunity to do that now. True, the taking of Mary Ann Watson's Death and Dying class was very important in influencing the difficult decisions that I had to make a short time later, but that is not the only way for a person to consider such issues. I wish to help inform the public on what organ and tissue·donation is and how those donations can be used. I have recently become a volunteer with the Mile-High Transplant Bank in Denver. this is a non-profit organization that is a procurement and storage facility of human bone, cartilage, dura mater, fascia, middle ear structures, mothers' milk, pituitary glands, and soon, kidneys. They are also a

coordinating facility for organs and tissues that they do not procure such as corneas and skin. And perhaps the most important function that they serve, is that they are an educational facility to the medical and lay communities, providing information regarding the possibilities and alternatives of organ and tissue donation and transplantation. If anyone was touched by the story you did on Kenneth and I wants more information on bow they might donate their organs or information about how to go about doing that, they can call the transplant bank at 393-7800 (24 hours). They may also reach me through that number if they have any questions or concerns. Again, thank you for giving us the opportunity of sharing our story with the students, faculty and staff of Auraria. As both an MSC and UCD graduate, it gives me a strang feeling walking around the campus as if I were the "emperor without his new clothes." I hope that my willingness to share has helped someone out there to deal with their own mortality while they still have a voice to share their feelings with their families. . Sincerely, I Mickey Axtell

Peter Max Bririgs His 'Ladies' to Denver David King Reporter

For those of you who don't remember Peter Max from the days when his name was synonomous with popular art, this is an introduction to on•· of the United States' great resources. In the 1960s and early 1970s, when the "British invasion" referred to music instead of the Falkland Islands and hippies were a social force instead of film images in a historical documentary, Max's art was everywhere-from the wall of apartments where minds stimulated by LSD thrilled to his stunning use of color, to Madison Avenue where corporations like Americr..n Airlines and NBC capitalized on his popularity. He was in Denver recently to introduce an exhibit of his work and promote the grand opening of Royce Galleries Ltd., 2721 E. Third Ave. Max was born in Berlin in 1937. One year later his family escaped Nazi Germany and feld to Shanghai, China, where Max spent the next 10 years. After leaving Shanghai, Max's family spent a few years in Isreal and Europe before moving to New York where Max studied at the Art Student's League, the Pratt Institute and the School of Visual Arts. Max's early art reflected two influences he encountered in China: Eastern philosophy and American comic books. Filled with cosmic settings and vivid colors with ink borders, much of it has the characteristics of a surrealistic Buck Rogers. His work was new and vibrant with a tranquility and optimism that appealed to an American audience looking for change. "I was always pioneering," Max says. "I was never-am never happy unless I'm creating something I've never seen before." Max was largely responsible for the emergence of poster art. At the height of his popularity, there was more of Max's ar t on walls than there were light switches. But popularity took its toll on Max. "All the parties, all the drugs, all the money .. . I was really starting on burn out," Max says. · He abandoned the exposure' of his public life and has made only limited personal appearances in the last 12 years, dividing most of his time

between working in his 18-room studio overlooking the Hudson River in Manhattan, and travelling. But his work continues to have an impact on American culture. On July 3, 1976, Max decided he wanted to paint something to com- · memorate the 200th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. On the morning of July 4, he place easels and canvasses in front of each of 12 windows facing the Hudson River,

intending to paint the parade of tall ships sent from nations throughout the world for the bicentennial celebration. Having misjudged the distance between his studio and the parade, Max was disappointed to find he couldn't see the ships well enough to capture them on canvas. As an alternative, working from a picture on a postcard, he painted the Statue of Liberty on a four-foot by eight-foot canvas hanging from his ceiling- and began a · tradition.

On July 4, 1977, Max added two more paintings to his collection of "Liberty Ladies." And each subse quent Independence Day he has done the same, painting one more than he completed the previous year. 'Tm going to do 11 next year," Max says. "But I will probably have to start on July 3rd." During his recent visit to Denver, Max did three paintings of the Statue of Liberty and donated them to benefit the Metropolitan Denver Arts Alliance. Max estimates he has done between 30 and 40 paintings of the statue. He presented the original "Liberty Lady" to President Carter and he says it will bang in the president's library when it is completed. Max has 165 different pieces displayed in the White House in addition to 235 works at entry stations along the United States' borders with Canada and Mexico. In 198lj President Reagan asked Max to come to the White House to paint bis "Liberty Ladies." "Th{ whole thing was televised," Max says. "They had six canvasses placed on this stage with an armed Marine guard at each end. I felt like a rock star." Four days after the event, a young man calling himself a "patriot" came to Max's studio and explained the deteriorating condition of the Statue of Liberty. He asked if Max might be able to help do something about the statue's problems. Max went to an advertising agency to try and solicite funds for a restoration project and was put in contact with Lee Iacocca, general manager of the Chrysler Corporation. The two men initiated the current Statue of Liberty restoration project which should be completed on July 4, 1986. Max has long been on of America's biggest fans. In 1976, he speculated: "What a beautiful world we may have in the year 2,000, if we, here in America, utilize our incredible resources to benefit not only America, but all mankind." He still believes in the potential of America. "We are willing to respond to one another," he says. "We're that kind of people. "The protestes and music of the 60s were seeds, and what those set>ds brought about were ne\\· ide as . Through the 70s and now, ;,, •lie 81\., COll/illll( tf

Patricia Ingalls You say you're buried tip to your teeth in assignments, textbooks and tuition payments. And you're beginning to wonder if all this college activity will ever pay off. Take heart. The Metropolitan interviewed three alumni who confirmed the hard work was worth the effort. Their careers in journalism prove the point. All three former Metopolitan State College journalism sh1dents are Denver natives now in their 30s, are married and are churning out stories in the Denver Post city room. Lou Chapman, 33, is a real estate writer; Paul Hutchinson, 37, is a general assignmentreporter;and Lori (Spencer) Krieger, 30, is senior copy desk chief. They seemed pleased to relate their individual stories, reflecting on how their college experiences have affected their lives. When Mapleton High School graduate Lou Chapman enrolled at MSC in 1977, he had already completed a year of studies at Central College, Pella, Iowa, and three years of Army service in Germany. "I fought the big one in Bavaria," said Chapman of his Army stint. He had also worked for the Adams County Department of Social Services and liked living in Denver. Although he had applied to more prestigious schools such as George Washington llniversity, Stanford and Columbia and had been accepted by a few, at age 25, he chose Metro. "I decided I didn't want to change my entire life just to go back to school," Chapman said. "There were a lot of vets (at MSC) and fewer suburban kids, (but) itwasverycollege-like."He also enjoyed Metro's "urban-school feel." While a student, Chapman gained experience writing for the Sentinel papers and the Rocky M ount11in Business Journal. He landed his first full. time journalism job through Metro professor Enoch :'\eedham, who then was editor of the Se11ti11el newspapers in the suburbs north of Denver.

The two men "had a mutual bartender at Brother's" who told Chapman and Needham they ought to meet. As a result, Chapman "did a few stories as a stringer" for Needham, who eventually hired him full time. In 1980, however, Chapman became the first Metro student to be accepted into a graduate program at New York's Columbia University, one.of the country's top journalism schools. He credited the honor to recommendations written by his former Metro professors Greg Pearson (journalism) and Charlie Dobbs (history), to his 4.0-grade-point average and to his work and life experiences. "I loved New York," said Chapman. 'Td always wanted to go (there)." By then, he had married actress Carrie Danielson, who studied acting in l'\ew York. On completing Columbia's "very intense program," Chapman found that his Veterans' Administration money was about to run out for him and his pregnant wife. "I put out app's to every paper in America, I think." The New York Times and Newsday granted Chapman interviews, but the New Orleans Times-Picayune made the offer he accepted. "It was a typical cub-reporter job" - night police reporter. A year later, he returned to the Denver area to work for a year as a business writer for the Boulder Daily Camera, and then for seven months as the news edi'tor at the Rocky Mountain Business Journal. This May, he accepted the Denver Post's offer to write real estate and business news. Chapman said he has valued his MSC education throughout his professional career. He gave much credit to Greg Pearson, now head of MSC's journalism department. "I lay it all to Pearson," he said, crediting his professor with teaching him "the nuts and bolts." "Because of Pearson, I know every word of Strunk's Elements of Style. It means an editor can say, '\Ve don't have to edit Chapman's stuff.' They deal with the content and not the little sh1ff, so (my article) gets a closer look

v:~

from the editors. "Pearson has improved my writing incredibly," Chapman said. "He inspired you, not just taught you." Chapman also praised the variety ot news he was taught to cover - from hard news to features to in-depth stories. He made special note of the accessibility of professors like Pearson, with whom he enjoyed discussions. As an MSC student, he was unhappy • with the lack of guidance from the college's administration, he said. "It was terribly decentralized," leaving students frustrated with scheduling and other technicalities. Chapman's advice to present MSC students who aspire to be journalists is' twofold. "Number one," he said, "is study grammar. Learn how to write. The person who can write and get it into sentences and paragraphs has the edge." 'r Second, Chapman urged journalism students to get a broad-based education. "Pick a minor that has nothing to do with journalism or the English Department, (such as) science, physics or urban studies. Interesting people hav~ a wide range of interests. An editor' would rather take a student that he feels has the ability to learn. And learn how to do research and track information." Chapman's biggest surprise when he became a professional journalist was.. "how simple you have to keep it." "Explain, explain it all. Stick to the point. Make 'B' follow 'A.' I didn't realize (how important that was) until people called in questions. Don't make it simplistic, but make it clear." Although Chapman misses the "blooc:f and guts of police reporting," he said he's content with his present job as Denver Post real estate writer. 'Tm happy to be in a big-city daily in my hometown now.''

~h!!~!~ili.towm~Q£!!1 Journalists' Careers East High School graduate studied journalism "on and off" from 1967 to 1974, he has yet to complete a college degree. That has not stopped him, ~wever, from progressing in his journalism career. Hutchinson's career began on the MSC campus newspaper. In 1967, it was called simply "The Paper," and Hutch~nson eamed.$20 an issue during t.he height of the Vietnam War protest era. "It was a very intense experience, quite a year," he said. "(The paper's staff members) were locked out of our office. The administration wasn't happy with what we were doing. - "We printed salaries of all the teachers, administrators and staff. It created quite a ruckus. Now, looking back, I understand why they were angry," Hutchinson said, qualifying , tha.t he wasn't apologizing for his ~ctions.

he said. Journahsm classes were in the Cherokee Building at West 11th Avenue and Cherokee Street. "It had a little bit of ivy on it and a little strip of grass we could lie down qn,"hesaid. "TherewasaBurgerChef that served as the student union." . Hutchinson changed majors several times before zero!ng in on journalism "somew~ere in my sophomore year," after trymg mathematics, music and r.sychology. . "I came from a household where readingthepaperwasimportantin the family,"he said. Hutchinson delivered the Rocky Mountain News as a boy and tried to work on his high-school paper. But the school advisor denied J;Iutchinson membership on the newspaper because of poor grades. "But the journalism courses I took at Metro, particularly from Pearson, really whetted my appetite... Hutchinson's other interests, however, sidetracked his journalism .education. During a year when he left school to ski in Aspen, he was drafted into the Army and spent a year serving stateside. He also taught skiing in

...;

Then he was seasonally employed in construction and maintenance. But that seemed too unstable to support him and his wife, Rebecca (who is now an Aurora elementary school teacher). "I really was unhappy with the direction my life had taken," he said. Then in 1978, the Rocky Mountain News had an opening. "Pearson's wife showed up at my door one night,"he said. "Al Knight (of the News) assured me he (was hiring me)asafavor(toPearson),"thatitwas against his better judgment and that "he expected and would allow me the opportunity to fail." "I got a couple of lucky breaks, and it was not a failure. That was the Rocky Mountain News at the tail end of the paper's glory days. Clearly, we were on our way to becoming No. I. There was a lot of energy and a lot of fun." After three years, Hutchinson again put his career on hold and left the News in 1981 with plans to bicycle from Oregon to Pennsylvania but knee problems stopped the trip. ' He accepted a job with United Press International in Denver and in 1982 was transferred to the UPI office in New Orleans. "New Orleans is a hell of a news town," he said. Working there for a news syndicate "gives you a whole new understanding of what writing for a deadline is all about. New Orleans has amazing corruption, chemical plants that blow up with amazing frequency, plenty of crime and storms in the gulf. It was quite an experience." In 1983, Hutchinson joined the Kansas City Star, where he covered the police beat and then special projects for the paper's Sunday edition. In 1984, he became night city editor at the Boulder Daily Camera, and fast month, he started his present job as Denver Post general assignment reporter. Throughhisvariousjoumalismjobs, Hutchinson said he's grown "skeptical about journalism education in general and disappointed in what journalism schools (have been) turning out. "The difference at Metro was one person-that was Greg Pearson. I was not a good student, and I responded more to teachers than to subject material. I was scared my first class from Pearson. But I worked really hard, and I got an 'A.' "Anyone who could sit through one of Pearson's lectures- where (Pearson's) lost five pounds, his shirt's wet, his hair is asunder, his voice is hoarsecan't sit through that without getting excited. When I could, I would bring friends to his lectures." Today, Hutchinson'sadvi~tojoumalism students is to believe in themselves. "lf you're not going to believe in yourself, nobody else is. That's Norman Vincent Peale talk, but it's true." He also recommended knowing practicing journalists for their connections, getting into print, "recognizing your good work from your bad" and studying good writers for their technique. "Don't give up," Hutchinson said.

basic~y ~ re~el, sort of anti-authority,"

Lori Krieger, copy desk chief. "It's extremely difficult to get a job in the business now. Get used to having the door shut in your face and rememher it's nothing personal." When he was a green reporter, Hutch_inson was surprised at how quickly challenges hit him. "I thought it would take me a lot longer to be able to go out and compete with experienced reporters on major stories,"hesaid,addingthattheopportunities were thrilling. In his first few months at the Rocky Mountain News, for example, Hutchinson became involved in a court case because he printed the name of a juvenile arrested for arson. Hutchinson's then-illegal act led to a districtlevel Supreme Court decision that changed the law. Affectingsuchchangewasoneaspect ofnewspaperjournalism that first attracted Hutchinson, he said, although such rewards occur infrequently. "My greatest reward is just getting the story. I love being on deadline. I like the adrenalin. Like those two trains running together. It's the moment. Nothing else really counts."

'~T

l lhat really counts for Lori Krieger is not so much getting the story but . editing it to perfection and assigning it an appropriate headline. Krieger, 30, was promoted two months ago to copy desk chief at the Denver Post. Kreiger, nee Spencer, married Dave Krieger in May. He is a Rocky Mountain News spo~s writer covering the Broncos. Kri •·.zer_taught an MSC editing class last fall, before relinquishing her maiden name. Krieger earned 130 college credit hours between 1973 and 1980 but has not completed her degree. "It was a far-flung education," she said of the variety of subjects she took. They included Chinese, physics, astronomy, billiards and computer science. "I had a good time. It was a cheap way to explore different fields." Metro's open-door policy was what Krieger liked b est about the college. "Coming out of the late 60s, I was

she said. Som college, I wanted to set m~ own r~es. . I wasn t .really motivated to go to college. All it would have taken for me (to quit) was one roadblock. .. .! couldn't have ~onean~her~else (but Metro)." ~lule dabbling m colle~e courses, ~neg~r wor~ed a~ a succession of jo?s, ~ncludmg~:iitressmg, temporary office Jobs and filing. "None paid well or were rewarding or fuUilling. They were pretty sterile environments and people." MSC opened the door to a journalism career for Krieger through her contact with Pearson. "I just happened into (journalism)," Krieger said. After several classes, "I thought it was a good, ethical line of work to get into." In 1976, Pearson, who was working part time at the Rocky Mountain News and teaching part time at Metro, alerted Krieger to an opening as a sports-desk clerk. Krieger worked the clerk job for a year and did freelance stories for the paper in addition to her "go-fer" job on the sports desk. Krieger then became a copy carrier and tended the wire (teletype stories from outside news services}, dividing news copy among the editors. She worked closely with the news and copy desks. "They were intellectual in an interesting way," she said of her co-workers. "And yet they were fun and lively. Of all the jobs that I'd had up til then, they seemed to be on the side of right and justice. I bugged them, essentially, until they would give me a tryout." The tryout came after rn years when Krieger was promoted to copy desk chief in 1978. She was responsible for '1ooking at headlines to make sure they reflected the tone of the story." She stayed in that position for four years, "working the slot," with the copy editors she supervised working at desks "on the rim" in a horseshoe pattem around her. But "administrations changed" and Krieger found herself demoted back into the slot. So when a former News editor she knew defected to the Post, he invited Krieger last October to cross over, too. The four-day work week of 4 p.m. to 2 a.m. shifts attracted Krieger, as did the return t9 a management-level position. As Denver Post copy desk chief, Kriegerreportstothenewseditor,and influences hiring the five to eight copy editors who work the rim for her. She oversees the copy editors' grammatical and spelling corrections, but her main concern is the headlines. "Do they capture the story? Do they reflect.the most recent angle? If humorous, is it appropriate? Are they too dull?" Being in a non-union, exempt positi on was a new experience for Krieger. So was teaching a college editing class at MSC last fall. Krieger was surprised at how much work was involved. "lhave a lot of respect for teachers continued on page 13

Gay Profs Differ in Approach to·Homosexuality · personal lives with class members. "If you went into any heterosexual faculty class you would get a feel about his preference," Watson said. She said straight faculty members talk about their husbands or wives in class. Bill said gay professors must behave the same towards students as their heterosexual counterparts. "My attitudes have changed a little bit," Kevin said. "I had one intimate friend who was an MSC student at the time but I don't want to go through that again, even though he wasn't in my class. If they are in my class it is strictly hands off. \Vhether straight or gay, romancing a student in class is D strictly a hands off situation.''

George Spelvin Two gay Metro professors differ greatly as to whether they should openly admit their sexual orientation to their students and fellow faculty members. Kevin and Bill (not their real names) have taught at MSC for a combined total of 18 years. Kevin has been maried and has raised two children. He is an active member of the Colorado Gay Fathers Coalition. Bill was one of the founders of the Colorado Gay Health Alliance-the predecessor of the Colorado AIDS (Aquired Immune Dificiency Syndrome) Project. Kevin says he believes the more open he is about his homosexuality, the more he will esteem his self worth. Five years ago Kevin spoke to the dean and chairman of his department, telling them he was gay. He wanted to tell them before someone else did. "The current dean knows I'm gay as does the vice president of academic af(airs because I've been so open about it," Kevin said. "I don't have to face emt>arrassing reactions to being gay. The more open and self-confident I am the more likely that everybody will accept (my homosexuality) as being normal. "I have a number of friends who are closeted. They become sneakie people, hiding the fact they are gay. I'm glad I'm not living a double life." "The challenge is to get the faculty to be models for the students," Kevin said. "I know a lot of gay faculty who are in the closet, who are well established and have been at school a long time. I would tell them, 'You've nothing to lose and others (students) would benefit.' Professors should come out of the closet to help others. "You have an obligation. Others have already paid for this right (to be openly gay)." Kevin said faculty members should set a good example for those students debating on wether or not to .admit their sexual orientation. "\1y main motivation for coming

"The more out of the closet a person is the better their overall general mental health, compared to those who maintain a hidden lifestyle," Watson said. Bill, however, has tried to be honest with his students and has ended up looking over his shoulder a great deal of the time. "A few students found out I was gay

"I would joke around like saying 'Hi, how's tricks?' to a student I thought was gay, or say to a student, a straight student who had a moustache, 'Do you know why so many gays have moustaches? To hide the stretch marks.' One student who knows I'm gay is pretty bitter. "He is spreading anti-gay talk like, 1t's a lousy school, a lot of gays. The campus is so gay.' He's obsessed with it.

Professor John R. Kilcoyne Background: Doctorate from the University of Washington, Seattle, 1972. Teaching at Metro for lO ~rs. aasses taught thrs summer include Remote Sensing, Cartography, Production Cartography and World Regional Geography. ·

Q: What is your favorite city? A: Seattle. They have sailing right out the door step of the campus. The overcast' weather is pleasant ...beautiful scenery. The culture is very good there. It has a really unique flavor for a U.S. city.

Q: What do you think of Denver's culture? A: It's not bad. It has really good classical radio stations. The museum is passable. It definitely has an up-andcoming symphony. One of the reasons I moved here is the availability of FM symphony music. Not much of that in Ohio (where h~ last lived) . KVOD is one of the best stations in the country.

Q: What's your. favorite way to spend your private time? A: Listening to Bach or Vivaldi anq watching the Cubs at the same time.

Q: What's been your most embarrassing moment? A: Being served a subpoena to appear in court. It was served here at school, and it turned out to be a practical joke. I was embarrassed by it. It was concocted by another colleague. I wasn't in class, luckily. He was going to have me handcuffed and taken out of class. But nothing came off, other than embar rassment and being totally fooled.

Q: What is your favorite book? A: The one I'm reading now. It's always the one I'm reading now. "Russia: Inside the Hidden Society." It's by a journalist who lived in the Soviet Union for three years.

Q: ls the reason you decided to teach at Metro to get away from research institutes? A: Well, actually Metro offered a ... feeling of fullness. Most cartography classes are offered under a social science budget. Here it's under earth _ science, and the budget is about 10 · times bigger, so I can do a much more satisfying job. Q: What would you like to be remembered for? A: Being a good father, husband and a good instructor. At Metro, I'd like to be remembered for having imparted some useful knowledge that made my students' lives a little more enlightened and a little more enjoyable. Q: How would you change Metro for the better? A: Change the name, so it could be recognized. Higher salaries. Taking the student enrollrnent cap off. Q: What is cartography? A: People always ask me this. What's cartography? My mother-in-law still thinks I teach dance ... .It's map design. Q: Any final words? A: The students here are wonderful to teach because they are motivated. That makes it appealing to a teacher. - Interview by Tom Smith

now. They put in a lot more time.'' Krieger said Pearson served as her role model. "He was a hard act to follow. He was the best teacher I ever had. He promotes not so much what you do professionally, but how you are as a person. He values above anything else being a good, solid, human person. - "He made it (teaching) seem so easy. But it's really hard to keep the attention of students, even for an hourlong class." Krieger was enlightened, also, to experience "the amount of influence you wield over those maleable brains." But Krieger underestimated her students when she brought in reporter Dave Krieger, then her fiance, as an outside speaker, whom she introduced to her class as a friend. "The class had a pool going on whether or not we were an item. Somebody won a lot of money when we got married. They were a little more intuitive than I would have thought." Krieger's main negative thoug· . s about her own MSC student experience was similar to Chapman's. "It was an incredible bureaucracy. To cfo the simplest thing required forms in triplicate." Now, Krieger advises students to be aggressive. "Editors are impressed by people who have an I-can-do-it attitude."

She also stresses the importance of connections. "The more people you can meet, the better off you can be.Journalism is one of those businesses where recommendations are really valued. The more contacts you have, the better off you are." Her main surprise, once she became an editor, was her observance of internal politics in the newsroom. "I expected the people to be a little more upstanding. There's a lot of backstabbing going on, mostly at the News. It's a competitive business-people jockeying for your job. It's not Winniethe--Pooh land. "You acquire some paranoia as you go on. Journalism is a young person's profession for the most part. The hours are long; the concentration required is really intense. Often the older people don't cut it, even though (they) may have acquired a lot of sound judgement or knowledge or experience, or (a) sense of what's new in society. ltis not·an old person's profession. Despite some of these negatives, one commonality three MSC alumni observed is that a journalism degree from MSC is increasing in value in the local media job market. "Metropolitan State College," said Chapman, "is building a reputation as a journalism school that puts out the nuts-and-bolts writers of news ... if they've paid attention in class."D

Imaginative Minds Spark Crazy Theories Laurie Dunklee Reporter

lbert Einstein and Fred Wolf . may disagree about the finer points of quantum physics, but they agree that an imaginative mind is the most important tool for a scientist. Dr. Fred Alan Wolf, a former professor of physics at San Diego Univer: sit}', last week gave two lectures at the Dt>nver Museum of Natural History's I~lAX Theater in City Park. The first, Einstein the Man , was a probing portrait of the great scientist. The second, Star Wave, based on Wolf's newest book of the same title, was about \\' olf' s theory of the relationship between quantum physics and psychology. Ei11stein the Man was spiced with ane<.·dotes about the scientist's relatipnships with women, both in and out of \\'('<Hock. For instance, when Einstein divorced his first wife and married his second, Elsa, he said, 'Tm glad my wife doesn't know any science; my first wife did." Elsa Einstein, a doting wife who n•frrn·d to her husband as "my professor," was no less sharp witted than h(>. \\'Jwn Einstein had an affair with a eolleaguc's wife. Elsa assured the woman that slll' didn't mind because her hus-

band was never attraeted to intelligent women. Wolf also portrayed Einstein as a defiant J<>w and scientist. In post-World War I Berlin, antiSemitists criticized his Theory of Relativity and called him "the father of Jewish physics." Though he had never been religious, Einstein began attending a synagogue and wearing a Jewish skullcap. A revolutionary thinker, he showed ·his defiance of standard scientific ·methods when he said: "Science can-

"The leader to discover something new in the universe is not the keen ~,butthe~thinker."

-Albert Einstein not be the search for absolute truth, but it must he the search for a succession of theories." "He completely changed the spirit : of science," Wolf said. "He asserted that the best path for understanding the universe is not through observation followed by induction of general laws, hut by posh1lating a theory-an out-

rageous theory-and then discovering whether or not the facts fit." Einstein said, "The leader to discover something new in the universe is not the keen observer, but the imaginative thinker." "This was his gift to us, as scientists, \\'olf ~ai<l. "He is an inspiration to every scientist, but he is especially important to those doing research outside the normal range." In Wolf's other lecture, StarWave, he explained his theory of the correlation between quantum physics and the brain, considered by many to be outside the normal range of scientific study. Wolf said he was a "straight" physicist when he was a professor at San Diego University. Then, in 1970, he resigned his position. "The Age of Aquarius was upon me," Wolf said. "I tuned in and dropped out. I became interested in philosophy, mind-bending and other aspects of human consciousness. Could quantum physics govern the brain? Could love and hate be mapped into the language of quantum physics?" At that time, Wolf began examining the mystery of wave-particle duality in quantum physics. "An object can exist either as a wave or as a particle," he explained. "When

Both descriptions are needed in order to under. stand how everything in the universe is constructed. "These two forms are complements of each other. In the same way, our thoughts and feelings exhibit complementarity. This has led me to postulate that thoughts are associated with particle-like behavior and feelings are associated with wave-like behavior, that these ways of existing are forms

"I tuned in and dropped out. I "became interested in philosophy,

mind-bending and other aspects of human consciousness.,, -Dr. Fred Wolf which exist in the human nervous systen1." The ways in which these wave forms orchestrate our nerve cells could explain aspects of our behavior, he said. "Maybe when people fall in love, their photons are attracted together into a dance." Wolf cited recent research that compared the brainwaves of people who were strangers to each other to the brainwaves of couples in love relationships. Whi1ethebrainwavesofthestrangersdiffer00 widely, those of the loving couples were quite similar. "This research could be important in ending strife," Wolf said. He suggested attempting to correlate the brainwaves of world leaders. "After all, we all want love in this world." Perhaps Einstein would have considered Wolf's theory absurd, but he might have approved Wolf's scientific process. "If a theory doesn't, at first , look crazy, there's no hope," Wolf said. More lectures and programs are scheduled at the museum and at the IMAX Theater. For information, call Larry Sessions, 370-6306. D

those ideas have become actualities. 'We Are the World' and 'Live Aid' are proof of that." Max says his lifestyle is much more relaxed now than it was in the early 1970s, and includes three, month-long trips to Barbados every year to paint and rejuvenate. His work seems more relaxed as well. His acrylics are composed of long, smooth brush strokes, and the colors are still stunning and vivid, but

more blended than in his earlier works. "When I see a color, I see other colors that want to be with it," Max says. "Color blends are very true to nature." Max has worked with a number of different mediums: acrylic and oil, acrylic and collage, oil and enamel overpaint, acrylic on potatoes-for a piece dedicated to Idaho-film and animation.

"I live my life randomly. "There was a time when I wanted to go to India and become a monk," Max says. "I like to surround myself with spiritual people. They have a soothing effect." Max considers himself a spiritual person. His art is a reflection of his spirit, and, like himself, something he happily shares. D

Max's exhibit will be in Denver until Oct. 4. It will then show in Dallas before proceeding on a four-city tour of Japan.

Tests :for ROTC WASHINGTON, D .C . (CPS) Sophomores planning to enter advanced ROTC programs are likely to be the first group of college students to face the mandatory AIDS tests announced recently by Defense Department officials. The military's decision to require all recruits, academy and advanced ROTC students to be tested for exposure to the virus that can lead to AIDS - acquired immune deficiency syndrome - is being denounced by gay advocacy organizations as an unnecessary step that establishes a potentially dangerous precedent. But those critics say whatever the justification for those tests for military recruits, there is even less justification for testing ROTC students. Some gay rights leaders suspect the military's real motive is to keep homosexuals out of the service. Currently, they say, the military forces about 200 acknowledged homo~exuals out of the military each year. llnder the program, the 25,000 recruits the military signs up each month, the 30,000 to 50,000 college students who enter junior-level ROTC programs and the 5,000 students who enter the military academies each year will be tested. Recruits will take the test as of Oct. 1, while college sophomores applying for advanced ROTC programs will be required to take the test when they get tl>eir physical examinations, normally during the summer before their junior year. Applicants who test positive on two tests will be denied admission. The mandatory testing program announced Aug. 30 - is the first of its kind in either government or industry.

AIDS attacks the body's defenses against viruses. It is frequently fatal. It can strike anyone, but the high-risk categories include homosexuals. The disease can spread through sexual contact and blood transfusions, which raises concerns about blood transfusions in battlefield situations. The way to guard against that, gay rights activists say, is to test the blood of military recruits without using the results to screen out applicants. "If person is able to do the job, why not let them do it?," said Tim Sweeney, director of the Lambda Legal and Educational Defense Fund. D'

"When he (Paul Magelli) called to talk about your basketball program, about goals and dreams, it realJy got my Irish up. I got very excited because I've been there. Metro State excited me because of my background and where I come from," Valvano said. Born in Queens, New York, Valvano got his start as a walk on at Rutgers University. Going from a walk-on to leading his team to a first ever postseason tournament, set the basis for his whole life. It was then he decided that someday he would be a coach. His first job was at John Hopkins University where, according to Valvano, "They hadn't had a winning season since the French and Indian war." By the time he left, the school had recorded the most wins in its history. After building up programs at Bucknell and then Rutgers, his alma mater, Valvano accepted a position at Iona University. Iona is a lot like MSC Valvano said, except MSC is much bigger. They (Iona) are in a city and have no dorms. "Any school that's in a city environ-

One of the most positive things he did while at Iona was leading them to a 77-60 drubbing of Louisville at madison Square Garden in front of 19,000 people.

"Don't tell me you can't accomplish great things. No one can define your limitations," he said. Valvano said the same holds true for MSC. The key is dreaming. "I say that you can accomplish all that you dream, that you can believe it. If you think you can you can." Powerhouses such as Marquette and

DePaul are prime examples of what the MSC basketball program could become. "Those are city schools and this is a city school. This is a great city and this is an exciting time for you. You have to have enthusiasm. You've got to work your tail off and you have to dream," Valvano said. Dreams didn't go unnoticed for Valvano. Esquire magazine included him as one of the best of a new generation in America. He was the only basketball coach among 272 Americans under 40 to be selected. He has also established $25,000 scholarships at Rutgers and North Carolina State. "The main thing you need is a place to play. If you don't have one, the building of one, you have to look at budgets, support, conference affiliation. The answer to all these things are in your grasp. "No one," he said, "would have started this task force without a place to build, someplace to stay." Valvano wrapped up by saying, "If your goal is rnediocracy that's what you're going to get. You need someone that is indefatigable in selling your program. But the main thing," he added "is you got to make Denver belie~e." D

Moore Tops Field as CC Team Finishes 3rd Brad Dunevitz Reporter

MSC junior, Todd Moore, won the Colnrado School of Mines cross country invitational Saturday afternoon in Golden with a time of 27:28.2. The team brought a third-place finish home to Denver as Ft. Lewis College took first-place honors in the fivemile invitational. The School of Mines took second place.

Metro coach Mike Albright was very pleased with Moore's performance. "Todd ran· a very good race," Albright said. Moore is joined by Ben Dunning, senior, and Mike Reichardt, junior, as the only upper-classman on the team. Albright has three freshmen on the team this year: Ken Clark, Dave Jesmer and Todd Laughlin. Clark and Laughlin are both graduates of Ponderosa High School. while

Jesmer is from Denver North. Asked about the progress of the freshmen, Albright said they need to get over the early season stagefright that most everyone experiences. "As time goes on, they'll get better," Albright said. The team will be back in action this Saturday, when they travel south to Pueblo for the University of Southern Coloradoinvitational.

Men's Soccer Team Wins 2 out of 3 in Utah A tired Metro State Men's Soccer team returned to Denver Sunday evening with a newfound confidence after winning two out of three matches in Salt Lake City, Utah, this weekend. In the first contest the Roadrunners scored three unanswered goals in a come from behind 3-0 victory over Westminster College Thursday. "We certainly didn't play up to our potential," said coach Bill Chambers. "But we refused to buckle under." The teams first goal was scored by

Best scored two goals in the contest, the first coming on a beautiful cross from the right side by freshman .A ndy Matthews. His second goal came off of a throw in by Richard Bender. Tony Brown rammed in the final goal, as they shut out Occidental. The weary Roadrunners faced a talented Brigham Young University squad in the final game of the trip. MSC went down to defeat 4-0. "We kept in range in the first half,

when it was 1-0, but BYU just wo:r:e us out in the remaining half', Chambers said. The game against BYU had no bearing on the NAIA playoffs because BYU isn't in Metro's district. "We became a closer team on this trip. You get to know your teammates off the field when you travel on the road," Chambers said. This team is young and can only get better."
