Metro Helps Bring Leaders Together Forum Focuses on Community Problems Robert Davis Editor
Community leaders debated ways to fight "a tragedy in the making," Monday, at the first -Agenda 1986· forum - a meeting of local leaders that focuses on current problems sponsored by Metropolitan State College and The Denver Post. About 150 of Denver community leaders discussed ways to handle rapid growth through better civic leadership. All the participants seemed to agree that Denver's rapid growth is a potential danger that should be viewed as a crisis to spark immediate action. "No one is in charge," Gov. Dick Lamm said. "Cities can no longer continue to function as an island with no regard for the sea around it." Lamm said municipalities must work together for the sake of the whole community, but warned that cooperation goes ~ainst the nQrmal political attitude. • ' Politicians, he said, are elected to serve their constituents' best interests and it will take progressive attitudes to survive the coming years. 'Tm not saying you elect from my party," Lamm said. "You need to look through both parties and elect people with broader vision." But the weight doesn't just fall on the politicians , Lamm said, businesses must take action towards controlling growth. "We need business leaders that look to the welfare of the whole and not just one area," Lamm said. There are many models of efficient city mangement to look at, Lamm said, naming Minneapolis/St. Paul and Portland, among others. But, while the discussions ranged from model programs to encouraging

developers where to build shopping malls, the focus returned to a common topic throughout the day - education. Syndicated columnist Neal Pierce said no matter how much work today's leaders accomplish, it's up to the future leaders - today's students - to see it through. "Where local and state and national government is today," Pierce said,

"No one is in charge." -Dick Lamm "we're in a position where we must invest in the future." Chuck Green, editorial page editor of The Denver Post, said Agenda 1986 is designed to address issues critical to the future of the city. The forums will allow leaders to explore individual problems, attempt to raise the level of awareness and suggest proper courses of action, Green said. D

A future colleg~ student listens to speeches about the importance of education programs for minorities and the poor during a demonstration marking National Trio Day in Denver. Nearly 200 people attended the rally on the west steps of the Capital Feb. 24 to support the contribution of the five programs that make up Trio - High School Upward-Bound, Veteran's Upward-Bound, Talent Search, Education Opportunity Center and the Special Services Program - that face funding cuts mandated by the Gramm-Rudman balanced budget legislation. Trio programs at Metro brought $500,000 in federal funds and provided educational support to approximately 470 students in 1985. Supporters say the Gramm-Rudman legislation will eliminate 38,500 students nationwide from the programs in fiscal 1986 and over 300 colleges and universities will lose Trio programs if Congress doesn't talce action.

Clarification Caus·es Confusion Jim Manuel Reporter
In typical bureaucratic fashion, a system designed to eliminate confusion ended up causing confusion. About 1500 Metro students received letters last week from the school verifying their schedules. The letters showed a printout of the student's schedule and instructed the student to notify the admission's office if there was an error. One problem-make that 1500 problems- the printouts showed only half the classes the students had registered for. The letters were mailed because of a
there was more than just one confused student. After more phone calls-Reed doesn't know the exact number-and a steady stream of students at the admissions window, he and his staff realized there was a flaw in the computer program.

"We called one place ... but they wanted $315 a machine and we knew that couldn't be right because those things break down all the time," Nun said. But the mystery was finally solved.

of accounting, first went to the IRS in 1982 with the idea of offering a V.I. T.A. class in which upper-division MSC accounting students would prepare income truces in exchange for three hours of college credit and the opportunity to work with "real" clients. The IRS gave its sanction and agreed to supply the needed forms and booklets. "Last year we helped 348 clients at eight metro sites receive over $112,000 in refunds," Marks said. This year he and his 20 V.I.T.A. students hope to handle 200 clfents at the Auraria site alone. Other site locations are: Stapleton, Aurora Village, Allied Apartments, Lutheran Community Center, Platte valley Center, N .E. Women's Center, and Highlands Housing Service.
A free program aimed at helping low-income and elderly people prepare their income taxes began Saturday, Feb. 8, at the Kuraria campus and seven other sites around the Denver area. The Voluntary ·Income Tax Assistance program, a joint effort between Metropolitan State College and the Internal Revenue Service, will operate Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 3 'p.m. through April 12 with the exception of March 29. V.I.T .A. was originally started as a nationwide program by the Internal Revenue Service more than 15 years ago to aid low-income, elderly, nonEnglish speaking, and handicapped "Who you help depends on which people in preparing their income taxes. site you work," said George Volentir, a Initially only IRS employees donated 1984 MSC accounting graduate who their time to the project.

The unique aspect of the V.I.T.A. program is that it benefits everyone involved. "It's a good feeling to know you are helping people and the experience is great," said Ann Hintz, a V.I.T.A. student and site manager at Auraria. Marks is optimi~tic about the future of the V.I.T.A. program pointing to increased corporate involvement, such as Mountain Bell, which provided a site this year at the Highlands housing location. "We hope to see the program grow each year as more people .from the community become involved," he said. The only qualification for the V.I. T.A. program is that one makes less than $20,000 annually.

ON CAMPUS Official Stops, Speaks, Splits Robert Mook Reporter
A Reagan-appointed official stopped by Auraria on Thursday during an apparent lay-over. He to1d a group of mathematics and science instructors that the Army wants to create more "unmanned" technology. Jay R. Sculley, the Army's assistant secretary for research and development, appeared in front of a group of a'bout 30 UCD instructorfs during what UCD's assistant dean o engineering, Oren Strom, called "an open forwn." According to a press release, Sculley was to discuss ways that universities could obtain grants for research and development. During most of the 30-minute forum he talked about areas of military research such as unmanned technology. He rattled off a list of military technical terminology unfamiliar to any non-engineer. For those faculty members who came to find o.u t how to break through the bureaucratic web of applying for military grants, the half hour was a waste of time. _ For those who came merely to behold

a highranking government official, the half hour was worthwhile. Sculley began the forum by saying today's Army is attracting better quality recruits. He raved about the Army's current advertising campaign. "The ·be all that you can be' theme has served us well," he said. However, while the quality of recruits has improved, the number of soldiers has Dot increased much in the past decade, he said. "With a smaller army, we're losing ground to the Soviets." Sculley said America has a technological advantage over the Russians. "Unmanned technology is the wave of the future," he said. He named many current areas of research, such as "rotory-wing technology (helicopters)" and artificial intelligence, etc. How can learning institutions obtain grants for research and development? Simple, Sculley said, "by staying in touch with the Army Research Center." After Sculley finished his dialogue, he answered one and a half questions from the faculty. He was then informed by his attache that it was time to go. "May I finish answering the question?" Sculley asked. "No sir," the attache replied. "We don't want to miss our plane." Sculley was applauded, though he didn't say anything new. He was important and that alone was a reason to applaud. D

MSC Prof Wins National A ward Denver Post reporter and MSC journalism instructor Louis Kilzer and Denver Post reporter, Diana Griego, have won the presitgious George Polk Award. The award was given for a series of stories written last year on missing children. Their stories exposed "largely as myth and gross exaggeration the notion that the United States is in the throes of a national epidemic of abducted children," said the awards committee as quoted by the Denver Post on March 3. Kilzer explained why they decided to pursue the story. "Diana was on a routine assignment - a feature about putting micro dots

in kids' teeth so they could be IDed when stolen. It struck her that this solution was a bit much.'' Kilzer's editors asked him to work with Griego in following the story, which took them six months. The award was established by Long Island University in 1949 in memory of George Polk, a CBS news correspondent who was killed while covering the Greek civil war. Other winners this year included Ted Koppel of ABC's Nightline and columnist Jimmy Breslin of the New York Daily News. Kilzer teaches Introduction to Journalism. This is his first semester at MSC. o

or Academics, what are the Priorities?
Editor, For weeks now, peQple have been inundating The Metropolitan with how no one attends Metro basketball games, why we need a division I team, about changing our school's name, and all the problems that would be solved with a nationally acclaimed basketball team. Is this really the right school for them? This school was developed to target the needs of non-traditional students in the Denver metro area, and for the past 20 years it has served this community with great success. As a result, Metro has earned a shining reputation state and region wide. To benefit present and future students, this administration must keep its priorities on ACADEMICS. Sports do not make schools. It didn't make Harvard, Stanford, or Princeton-academics did. Metro has grown to overflowing capacity not because of sports, but by giving quality education to those who want the chance, the attention in the class room, the challenge of learning. Metro should spend its resources and energies continuing to build academic excellence-not basketball roadtrips. · Sure the game has a place at Metro ... as a club, including young and old, day and night students. Let's keep the game on the level of a sport, not a business. Basketball as an industry will split the student body as it has on other small campuses, corrupt the school officials, cheat its participants of what college is truly about, rob other students of facilities they need and deserve, and ultimately rob the fabric of this community til it will not be recognizable again. This unique and diverse student body is held together by the common goals of academics and future success, and by the common struggles of paying our own way. Some have come here specifically to escape the partiality given to athletes: full ride scholarships, books, housing, transportation, food, and tutors-all paid for by the school. Many students on this campus work long and hard to earn what others are simply giveri. This is unjustified spending of our tax and tuition dollars!
..
Examples of corruption throughout the NCAA are clear enough. The question is how long will it take to hit Metro's administration. Rumors have it that it already has. Is it true or not that at least one basketball recruit was admitted this spring after the cap was clo.sed? And is money being diverted from academic scholarships to athletic scholarships which require a GPA of only 1.5? This isn't what our administrators should be wasting their time on, but rather ways to improve Metro's academic atmosphere. The most tragic victim of industralized collegiate sports are the athletes themselves. Far too many of them emerge as ignorant as they arrived and that is contradictory to the sole purpose of their attending college. There are abundant examples to illustrate this point. Finally, at the same time that funding for vital academic stability and progress is vanishing, last year alone our school spent about $I2.5,000 on the basketball program. That money could be much better used to replace depleted faculty who will teach real world skills in math, science, art, communications, and English. But NO-this administration dropped a 12.5 grand into a GAME. And for those who ask students-during class time and through The Metropolitan-why we don't attend the basketball games. Quite simply-WE DON'T GIVE A DAMN about the basketball. Students here are spread throughout a six.county area and beyond and can't or don't want to come in-town to watch a game. How more obvious than the dismal attendance record does it have to be?? . Abolish the basketball prograIQ, use the money on academics rather than games, and finally-be professional-recognize this school community for what it is and work to serve it.

The Problem With a Pretty Girl I kiss my mother these days. Sometimes a sister, often a daughter. But it is different kissing a woman. Everything is different with a woman. It is coffee and newspaper sunday morning different. Driving in your car or strolling beneath baby-crescent · moon different. All things with a woman are different. A woman fragrants the picture when she walks on the scene. Like color and light in Monet or Cezanne, a woman is where the eye enters the art of life. It is a fraternity-boy trick to gawk at pretty girls and then chortle in appreciation of the artistic form. It is construction-worker macho to wink in the shared knowledge that she enjoyed the lewd passing comments, the whistles and catcalls. It is boorish. But there are times when a pretty girl is as pure and clean as an image ever is. Imagine her paisely cotton dress, gold tumble hair in summertime breeze. Sunshine backlights her form through the cloth: outline of knees, thighs, hot hair and breast silhouette. But is the girl pure and clean, or is her image the only thing about her that is? A distinction between woman and image, person and form. The form has no person, no personal humanity. It is spring fresh, musty autumn. It is mystical maternal earth drive. It works again and again as symbol of what refreshes me about everything. You can't beat a pretty girl. Problems occur when the image of that girl gets transposed into something tangible about the person attached to the form. This problem creates many problems, among them the forced perching of a person atop tall tiny spikes nailed to the hee.ls of her shoes. This forces her to ankle-wobble walk for to look like a picture, and this is silly anc;l_sophmoric and unfair. Though more impractical, spikey-heeled shoes are much like neck-ties,
those harnesses of convention that other persons wear. Persons are hell-bent to insist on images and forms to describe the substance of others. How a woman dresses, stepping what a man drives, how often someone cleans and combs the hair of a child are easy and lazy ways to make on opinions about substance of which one is ignorant. caterpillars Let's lighten up. The problem is not the exploitive use, commercial or otherwise, of a woman's breast. (Exploitation for commercial gain is not limited to the fem ale form. Commercial exploitation is a filthy growth from the species' oldest epidemic, whicq is greed.) by Bob Haas Rather, the problem is the relative offensiveness of a particular woman's breast. Using that image to sell a fragrance is similar to using a man's pectoral development to sell a dietary iron supplement. The experience of making the ad may or may not have been humiliating to the model who had to keep his muscles in flex, but the idea that it doesn't exploit men merely because upper-torso male nudity is not shocking is jello-logic. The female breast is not exposed as of ten as the male breast because somewhere along the way we deemed that particular image of object secret or special or sacred. Whether it is good, bad, or does not matter, one who is shocked by a female breast and not shocked by a male breast is guilty of sexism. Man's breast sunshine, woman's breast tanning-salon. A problem here with our perceptions, not with breasts. And speaking of breasts, how about this pseudo-springtime weather lately? It's a firm and youthful energy, encouraging our perceptions of many things, like flowing lines and fluid movement. Everywhere you look, smile flashing, thigh and calf dancing, eye laughing, hair tumble rich smelling image. There is something different about women .. 0 They are alright with me.
Metro Helps Sponsor Town Meeting Robert Davis Another Metro sponsored event. the days of Carnevale raced through my head. I'm ditching a Tom Altherr class for this? I must be nuts. But when I got there I found history in the making. The Denver Post and the local 'trade school downtown' had invited some special people out for a forum. And they came. And they talked. And they may have made a real impact on the future of this city. The letter said this Agenda 1986 business was The Denver Post and *Metro teaming up to bring together "200 business, political and civic leaders" to discuss the most critical problems of the day. Worth ditching class for but who flubbed and put my name on the list? The topic of the first meeting was "A metropolitan leadership vacuum: Our inability to manage growth." The leaders were impressive. City planners and councilmen and about 100 business leaders. The premise is that this is a crisis situation and action must be t~en. Now. A crisis in that growth is out of control. Nobody is held responsible for the growth of the community as a whole, just the growth of their own area. Growth like the Denver Technological Center. There will be as many people employed in the Tech Center as in downtown Denver within six years. At least that's what They say. In light of current topics that are "important to the future of the city" the Post and Metro decided to do something progressive and bring leaders together to talk. Agenda 198.6 is a three part program set up to: • Explore 12 of the most serious problems that face the community. • Raise the level of awareness and get people to pay attention to these problems. • Find adequate courses of action to eliminate the problems. The first forum was excellent. By inviting the right people - those with the knowledge to address the problems and the power to do something about them - Metro an(i The Post set the stage for stimulating conversation. It was like a good town meeting with lots of dialogue. And it was a fascinating, entertaining, educational day of bright minds discussing the day's critical topics. The school broke a barrier by being a major force in the progressive movement of thi~ community. The most encouraging part of the day was realizing the college had done something remarkable for the community. Carnevale, it was not.

Pageants,SexObjects,andWon1en Kim Campbell Reporter
I
w.alked into the bathroom at th...e Holiday Inn I-70 East during the Miss COlorado USA pageant, and I panicked. My waist! What waist? My cheekbones. last seen in late 1981, hid behind layers of fat. And blemishes! My Cod! How could any self-respect- . ing female be seen in a public place looking like I did? Wait a minute. Where did this hyper-critical, looks conscious person come from? I didn't walk in with her. Sure, I try to look attractive. But how hard I try is another question. How looks conscious I am, well, that is another question. Until now. Until observing 72 made-up, hairdoed, tan-saloned, dieted to the hilt femme-fatale women made me very aware of my own looks. Creating this climate of glamor, hype, and beauty dressed in low-cut sequined gowns was Frank Sweeney, director of this and 29 other pageants a year. I asked Sweeney.why he thought there is a market for beauty pageants. Sweeney is a short man with a large midsection and a constant cigar. "Women are very much interested in how other women market their femininity," he said. Women are more aware of their looks than men, Sweeney said. He explained: If two couples went out on a double date one night, the next night the women would know exactly,what each had worn, but the men would not know what the other man had worn.

n London, the British Broadcasting Company has stopped covering pageants, saying that pageants have outgrown their usetulness. And many feminists in this country would like to see pageants die out here as well. Feminists object to beauty pageants because they see them as perpetrating the concept of women as sex objects. Feminists would ask how a woman who is - wearing a swimsuit and being judged on how she looks in that swimsuit can be a person, and not just an object. I asked Sweeney why the Miss Colorado USA pageant had no talent contest and why it had a swimsuit competition. continued on page 8

"I doQ't think talent is important at all/' .~e said. "You can't show off .a girl's figure without a swimsuit." In other words, this was a beauty pageant. As a matter of fact, after the women completed their personal interviews, which were held in the same room and conducted IO contestants at a time, the women were asked to line up and were then inspected to see how they compared in casual wear. As I absorbed all this emphas~s on physical beauty of the feminine kind, I wondered why "handsome pageants" for men aren't the institution that pageants are for women. Sweeney says the answer lies in the fact that men don't want to see other men. "Male strippers, beefcake calendars, and male pageants are a lark, a fun thing that won't last,'' he said. As sex objects, women are simply more marketable. So, are beauty pageants just a market for sex objects? Shirley Sims, coordinator of Women's Services at MSC's Institute for Womep's Studies and Services, thinks they are. "Pageants are the epitome of women being treated as sex objects," she said. But she also feels a woman's inner concept of herself can counter sexism in pageants. "H the c:ontestant is sure about who they are, they can avoid being caught up in the sexism involved,'' she said.

o these theories, feminists would say that competing with other women on the basis of looks alone keeps women in the "object" category; and also athletes must train to excel in a sport, whereas in pageants, it is a matter of being born with looks and maintaining those looks. This may be the case, but Lynette Jessen, Miss Colorado 1985, is not only beautiful but she also . has poise and grace. I asked Sandra Jessen, Lynnette's mother, how she deals with people who are critical of pageants. She said she invites them to have a part in a pageant to witness firsthand how much work goes into them. One contestant I spoke with said she used pageants as a goal to aspire toward - to reach her personal best. On the other hand, I know my personal best without putting myself on display as a physical specimen - which is, in the opinion of many women, degrading. Being for or against pageants does not guard one against the looks-conscious, judgemental mindset I fell into when I first came to the' pageant. And when I saw the winner's mother's hands shaking as she cried tears of joy for her daughter, I felt like a fiend for harboring negative thoughts about pageants. But watching sacantily-clad women parade by me in swimsuits while everyone rated their bodies, I felt like an awkward female guest at an all-male D club.

Leprechauns Fiddle on Local Clover James Churches Special to The Metropolitan
For the first half of the Chieftain's show last Thursday at the Auditorium Arena Theatre, the audience couldn't manage to clap in time with the band. Maybe they weren't drunk enough, because after intermission - when everyone seemed to have a tall glass of Killian's Irish Red Ale - they were right on the money. Even so, they still only clapped when the sly lads wanted them to. You see, Chieftain's style is what I call "Leprechauns Jamming on a Dewy Four-leaf Clover." One of the little devils gets up on the clover and starts fiddling a jig. A little dew shakes off the underside. Then another gets on and blows a flute. More dew drops. Pretty soon all six of them are up there jamming and it's like a rainstorm underneath. Well of course there isn't room for a couple thousand audience members on a little four-leaf clover, so the Chieftain's change the tempo so often no one can keep track of it, let alone join in. When finally, they play at a consistent tempo for more than a few measures, the audience can join in, but only as the cherry on top of a musical malt that the lrishers blended a careful scoop at a time.
Usually, the tunes build like this: First, Kevin, the drummer (a Dubliner) starts a rwnbling rhythm on his drum that he sits on his knee, edgewise. It looks like a sawed off bongo drum and he bangs on it with a short stick that he shakes so both ends make - contact. That's how he gets it to rumble. Then, the flute will start with a floating melody, usually fast. Matt continues for a few measures, hooking you into his tune. Next, Paddy, the little band leader, the little wise ass, the little guy with big crooked teeth and a tilted smile, will start squeezing his bagpipe. Depending on his mood, he'll either make it squeel, squeak or just hum along. Next, Martin & Sean, the two fiddlers will join in, or maybe the harpist will strum. Or Derek the harpist may tap a tune on his xylophone with strings - he may even pound the ivory in his own shy way. The fiddlers are very somber, maybe naturally, maybe part of the act, but they just play. So npw they're all jamming, it's sounding good, the volume is building - bring on the Irish ballerina. She's a stout young woman, stern faced, said to be a champion in this style. Good. Bounces across the stage, a lot of foot shaking, arms pinned to her side. She really is dancing, no analogy here. It's a party.
.
...
The Chieftains (L to R) Martin Fey, Matt Molloy, Kevin Connepp, Sean Keane, Paddy Moloney, Derek Bell. The ballerina leaves shortly. Now, maybe, if the little wise ass (who really is funny) doesn't flip to a different double jig, or a ream, or a lament (which are truly sad), then the audience can join in. Oh they're already part of it, but I mean as part of the band. Of course, maybe this was just a dull crowd. There seemed to' be a great deal of grey hairs around, a lot of monkey suited success stories too. Maybe at most Chieftain concerts the audience dances in the isles. At this one, they seemed happy to clap along for a few bars, content with their small part, thankful to be of use. It's a damn shame for the Chieftain's though. They even brought in a guy from China to play a sideways oriental fiddle. And all they got were seatpinned smiles. But who really cares about the audience? I mean for God's sake, how was the show? Is this a review or just another bad Clint Eastwood movie? Okay, okay. Criticism, yeah, criticism - let's see, what didn't I like.
Oh yeah, the ballerina. When sbe did those Irish tap dances it was a little soft. I think she forgot to put the metal clackers on the bottom of her shoes. It was a little hard to hear. Uh, let's see, hmmm. I guess that was the only problem. Oh wait. I didn't have enough money to get a green beer. That sucked. They looked so good. Everyone was drinking them. Oh yeah, I wouldn't want to close without mentioning the solos. No criticism here. Everyone in the band had a solo. The drummer sang. Whatasweet voice. Happy looking lad too. "Never knew a man who had one black eye and wished for two, a toQrihh toorihh toorihii, dat da torriahh ooriahh aye," he sang, so sweetly. They were all superb: on their own, together, making jokes or in mourning of a sad lament. Next time the Chieftain's come to town, break out your green antenna, throw on some knee socks and some knickers and we'll go down there and raise some hell. Wbattayasay? o Tallyho.

Since the discovery of up-hill and down-hill, people have imagined a-. paradise where they could listen tQ classical music while gliding up and down. You think this is just another utopian delusion that you were supposed to read about in Dr. Lighthead's "wishful thinking 201" class, right? Well wrong and really-wrong! Last Sunday I experienced just such a place. The people there called it "Encore '86.''
Encore '86, held at the Denver Tivoli, • broadcast by KVOD and coordinated in part by MSC's New Audiences Council, was a twelfth annual benefit for the Denver Symphony Orchestra. But in '86 it was different. It was better. It was like a cosmopolitan paradise. Because it had shops. Because it had escalators. Because it had the MSC department of music, including faculty, students and alumni, performing live music in the Tivoli atrium. More than two dozen performances were featured as part of the benefit. Among the performers was Gena

SPORTS Metro Dumps DU, Wraps Up Season Scott Moore Sports Editor
The MSC men's basketball team topped intercity rival Denver University, for the first time ever, Feb. 2.5- a 63-62 overtime victory. However, the season endea on a more sour note when the Roadrunners dropped their last two games to Eastern Montana, 72-61 and 73-55. Metro entered the DU matchup still smarting from a 62-50 loss to the Pioneers earlier in the year. But senior guard Steve Crigler was determined to change MSC's fortunes this time. He scored 10 points, including a layup with one second left in regulation to send the game into overtime tied at 55. Then, with the clock ticking down in the extra period and Metro clining to a one point lead, he partially deflected a last second attempt by DU's Joe Fisher to seal the victory. Chris Roper led the Roadrunners with 13 points. Rich Grosz snagged 12 rebounds to go along with nine points. Friday night in Montana, the Roadrunners were shot down by 11 points as Eastern Montana's inside game prevailed. Grosz, MSC's leader in rebounds, was held to just six. "We weren't very successful, but I liked the way we approached the game," Coach Bob Hull said. "We just couldn't get very many shots to fall." Tom Murphy topped Metro with 16 points and Chris Roper added 14. Ambrose Slaughter was held scoreless for the first time all year in the game. The following night, Metro again was clobbered inside as it was drubbed by 18 points. Former Arapahoe High School star Steve Brimner stung the

"They came out very aggressive and took it to us early." He said Murphy played an exceptionally good game. Murphy shot 7-11 from the field to finish with 14 points. Hull also noted Roper's 12 points, his third straight game in double figures. Reflecting on the season, Hull said the effort was good, especially on defense. He said the fact that Metro is 13-13 is a credit to everyone involved in the program, considering the strength of the schedule it played this year. "The guys did an excellent job of fighting (and) scrapping," Hull said.
The four seniors on this years team - Trujillo, Crigler, Slaughter and Craig Hyman - were singled o·ut by Hull as doing an excellent job of providing leadership and experience. "It's going to be tough to replace them," he said. D

The MSC women's basketball team ended the 1985-86 season on a sour note by losing its last three games, all on the road. Against the University of Northern Colorado, Metro was down 38-30 at halftime but tied the game at 43 with 13 minutes remaining. The teams traded baskets until, with the score in favor of UNC, 51-49, MSC lost momentum and the game, 84-67. "There was a lot of individual play on the floor;" Coach Cindy Guthals said, "not team play." Freshman Lisa Rains led Metro with 28 points .. The next night, the team traveled to Gunnison and was mauled by Western State College, 80-56. "We just didn't come to play," Guthals said in reference to the Roadrunners' 31 percent shooting from the field. "Our hearts weren't in the game." Rains again led Metro with 17 points.

Metro's baseball team opened its season Saturday and beat district-rival Denver University 14-13, and then swept two victories from Colorado College on Sunday, 5-1and10-0. Last year's all-district shortstop, Keith Schulz, doubled his first two times at bat Saturday before hitting a threerun homer in the seventh inning to give Metro a 12-11 lead. Outfielder Craig Bonato hit his second home run of the day in the eighth inning with one man on base to seal the victory. First baseman Ronn Wells and catcher Todd Va~ghn each had home runs in the slugfest. Pitcher Jay Estrada allowed three runs in the first inning and was replaced by Ty Rollins, Coach Bill Helman said. Helman said his team committed six mental mistakes in the first five innings, including a balk by Rollins and poor base-running. "I was worried," Helman said about being down 11-6 in the fifth inning. "They (DU) got to Rollins in the fifth inning . . . but Randy Malden
came in and did real well," he said. Malden gave up only two runs in the seventh inning and was credited with the win. "Sunday was a totally different kind of day," Helman said. "Pitching and defense won the game." Metro pitchers John Wilkinson and Tom Grucius limited CC to just three hits and one unearned run. Wilkinson struck out seven batters in five innings. Second baseman Shawn Hobin hammered a single, a double and a triple, while Schulz added a single, a double and a sacrifice fly. In the second game, starting pitcher Dave Snow tossed a three-hitter and struck out six in five innings before giving way to Bonato in the sixth. The game ended after six innings because of the 10-run rule. Helman said Metro featured a balanced hitting attack as outfielders Randy Hodges and Jeff Ellis had two singles each. Hobin hit a single and a triple in the game. "This is the best team we've ever had," Helman said. "We have the pitc~g and defense to go all the way. D

Women Encounter Discouraging Start Curt Sandoval Reporter
MSC women's softball coach Jim Romero hopes the results of last weekend's season-opening series aren't an indication of things to come this year. The women dropped three out of four games, at home, to New Mexico Highlands Friday and Saturday. The losses were especially discouraging to Romero because Metro swept Highlands 5-0 last season.
"I thought we would be 4-0 after this weekend," he said. While the losses start the women off on the wrong foot, Romero said he is optimistic about the season ahead because of how the women started last year. "Last year we started 0-5 at Las Cruces and then we went 26-12," Romero said. "Too many mental mistakes" plagued the team last weekend, Romero said. "We just didn't hit tlie

"Shooting percentage, I would say, was the main thing that hurt us." Case in point: the team missed its first 12 shots of the game. "We played a good game but we just didn't hit anything," she said. Keyes topped the Roadrunners with 18 points fpllowed by Rains with 16. Keyes and Sharon Coleman each had 11 rebounds and Rains had 10. Metro finished the season 8-19 overall and placed seventh in the Continental Divide Conference with a 3-11 D record.

On Saturday, the women lost the first game 4-1 and the second 4-3. "I thought I had them ready but we just weren't prepared," Romero said. He said the women have been practicing three days a week since November. Romero said pitching will be the
key to the team's success. He said he has two strong and equal pitchers. Junior Liz Miret, a 20-game winner last season, should see most of the pitching duties this year. "She throws hard and she's very consistent," he said. Brenda Lazinski, a freshman from Arvada West, is the other pitcher Romero said he is counting on. Romero added he has a lot of other talented athletes. Romero said senior center fielder Kathy Magda is one of his top performers. "She's a player who gives 150 percent and has a very good attitude."
