Campus security worries student Robert Ritter Assistant Editor

_,..

Lack of communication and cooperation between campus police and the Denver Police Department results in a less safe campus, according to an MSC student who was the victim of an assault on campus last November. But a meeting Jan. 11 between officials of the two agencies will soon solve this "timely" issue, according to Lolly Ferguson of the Auraria Public Safety office. The student, who was attacked in Lot W, said she first reported the attack to a Tivoli security guard and a DP:p officer, who assisted her in searching for the suspect in an area north of the campus. Later she filed a report with Auraria Publie Safety and was interviewed by an officer. She said the officer didn't seem "very aggressive" during the interview even after she told him she would help in the search for the suspect. A few days later she was contacted by the DPD who said they had a suspect and asked her to look at a photo lineup. During this time she said a Denver police officer told her that Auraria had never contacted them about the rash of sexual assaults on the Auraria campus. Then two days before Christmas she received a letter from Auraria Public Safety saying the case would be filed appropriately since no suspects had turned up. "It just seems that there ought to be better communication. Something in the systern has to change," the student said. "I think it's the system and the individual agencies. From without I could tell there was no communication between them.

"There should be some kind of protocol to follow when a situation like this happens. They need to be working together instead of this procedural bullshit." But Ferguson said the way these kinds of cases have been handled in the past could soon change. "At this point Denver does not respond to calls that are not felonies or in which there is no suspect," she said. "And AHEC sets strict limits on our pursuit policy . But the two agencies met in an effort to solve the communication gap. "Out of that meeting there is going to be more cooperation in terms of security," Ferguson said. "We are working now on adjusting policy so they will respond on all of these kinds of calls. We are pursuing avenues for letting Denver know what is happening on an ongoing basis.", The student also said she wondered why there was no support group she cpuld have turned to at the time of the attack. "I wasn't raped or anything, but it was still a real traumatic personal thing. (That) night I went through hell," she said. "If only they had some sort of support team I could go and talk to. That's when I needed it." Ferguson said Public Safety has an assistance program "down on paper" but lacks the funds necessary to formalize it. But she offered an alternative in this kind of 6 situation. c "Each school has a women's center. u They offer this type of assistance," Ferguson ca said.

MSC proposes new teaching program C.Patrlck Cleary

Reporter

MSC's proposed replacement degree program for elementary education teaching certificates remains in limbo even as the new semester begins. In compliance with state mandated guide,. lines enacted in 1985 to cut state costs of higher education by reducing the number of teacher education programs at stateoperated schools, MSC dropped its elementary education major program Jan. 1. MSC proposes to replace it with a broaderbased education program. -#' Dean of Professional Studies Charles Branch said MSC's proposal would allow students interested in elementary educa. tion certification either to take a regular course load in the major of their choice, or enroll in a new degree program called a Bachelor of Letters, Arts and Sciences.

Branch said the proposed degree is designed to "give what we think the teacher needs to have" to provide that well-rounded educational experience to young students. "We believe a (elementary) teacher ends up teaching more than what they majored in college in," he said. The new major calls for a student to take up to 136 credit hours: 70 in the major emphasis and 50hours teacher certification. Included in the 50 hours would b e electives and other required courses. The core of the major is divided into three parts: Math-Science, Social Science, and Humanities, Branch said. For example, if an elementary ed student wants to focus on humanities, the student 路 must take 40 hours from the humanities division and 15 hours each from the two remaining divsions - in this case social sciences and math-sciences. The same principle works for all three categories.

"It's an experimental approach to training teachers so we would be continually evaluating the major," Branch said. Interim President William Fulkerson said Colorado Commission on Higher Education wishes to stick with its policy of requiring teacher certification students to enroll in straight degree programs. Fulkerson said the school does not agree with CCHE's requirement of an instructor obtaining a straight major such as history, English, math or science. "They (members of CCHE) are not enamored with the (MSC's) proposal," because it "is clearly out of line with their thinking," he said. But, MSC approached the state Academic Affairs Board late last week seeking their support of the new program before asking the CCHE to change its policy. No one from Academic Affairs was available for comment.

Branch said 150 new students signed up for elementary education this semestet. Currently, there are 1,600 students in MSC's teacher certification program. The new degree would "force a breadth of knowledge on students, Branch said. MSC has spent two years designing the degree so that core courses could count towards general studies requirements also, thus keeping the number of credit hours at a reasonable level, he said. Most majors at MSC require a total of 120 credit hours for graduation. In 1987 the CCHE implemented the Teacher Education Recertification program calling for those reductions. The program must take effect Sept. 1, 1989, but MSC wants to implement its program this sem~ ter, Branch said. o

-----NEWS---'$25 million building to open on deadline Jim Manuel Editor

Despite some unfinished detail work and the blizzard of '87, Auraria's new North Classroom building will open for classes on schedule Jan. 18. Though the $25 million building looks far from complete along the Larimer Street side, construction is progressing well, said Carol Chapman, spokesperson for Auraria. "The corridor along Larimer looks like it does because it's the last part to be finished. The construction people are working their way out of the building on that side." The 250,000 square foot building, the largest ever built for higher education in Colorado, will replace the East Classroom.

Approximately 97,000 square feet of classroom and laboratory space will take up 55 percent of the new building. Offices, lounges, food services and storage space will fill the remaining usable space. ' Among the highlights of the new building are four classrooms with permanent Ushaped seating arrangements for classes using the case study method. One auditorium and seven lecture hall classrooms also are included in the 34 new classrooms. During daylight hours - between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. - MSC will use 60 percent of the building, UCD 31 percent and CCD 9 percent. Evening classes will find UCO using 68 percent of the building and MSC 32 percent o

r For those students who will miss the East Classroom, these chairs should provide them with all the "comforts of home."

Associate Editor

The fifth MSC president in the last four years will come from a pool of over 100 candidates and could be on the job by July 1, according to Dick Feuerborn, chairman of the Institutional Advisory Committee ~ (IAC). The IAC, comprised of eight members from MSC faculty, staff and student body, will begin screening applicants' to narrow the list to ten by Feb. 5. That list will be forwarded to the Trustee " Selection Committee (TSC), a group of

three members from Metro's governing body, the Board of the Trustees of the Consortium of State Colleges in Colorado. The Trustees have also hired an outside executive search firm to provide a list of ten possible candjdates for the position. According to Martin Norton, MSC student body president and member of the IAC, the search firm "beats the woodwork for people who would normally not apply for the job." The ten candidates selected by the search firm and the ten selected by the IAC will then be narrowed to a group of five to ten by March 4.

The semifinalists will be interviewed in Denver by the TSC, which should make the final decision by July 1, according to Feuerborn. Interim President William Fulkerson has been on the job since last July. He replaced Paul Magelli, who quit last May to take a similar position at Parkland Community College in Champaign, ill. Feuerborn would disclose none of the candidates' names but did give some idea as to what type of person the IAC would be looking for. "We want someone who will embrace the school for what it is and who will

recognize its merits and our importance to the Colorado community," F euerbom said. . orton said he's looking for a candidate who has the interests of the non-traditional students at Metro. 'Tm looking for someone who's looking out for the older students. I thought Magelli was pulling us away from that." He also said the new president must be able to work with the Trustees better than Magelli. "The candidate's going to have to be able to deal with the Consortium and not throw tantrums like Magelli did. That's going to be important," Norton said. D

ACES denied office space

SFPC says organization 'unrecognized' .t_

Time is drawing nigh for Auraria's only student-run broadcasting organization to pack its bags for a destination unknown. Auraria Cable Entertainment for Students (ACES) , currently in Room 350 in the Student Center, was advised Dec. 7 by the Student Facilities Policy Council that it would have to vacate the office and find an alternative location by Feb. 29. SFPC is a committee comprised of members of Auraria's three institutions which sets policies for student-funded buildings. Under recommendations last semester by the Student Center Advisory Board, a sub-committee of the SFPC, ACES was declared ineligible for space allocation because it is "unrecognized" by any of the three institutions on campus. ACES is considered tri-institutional and is governed by the Auraria Higher Education Center, as are the SFPC and SCAB, according to Larry Ambrose of AHEC. Bylaws of the ACES organization indicate that it operates under the council, and must therefore adhere to its policies. According to SFPC Policies and Procedures for Space Allocation, only clubs and organizations of MSC, UCD and CCD exclusively have priority in space allocation.

AHEC Director of Development Larry Ambrose, however, said that "school recognition" should not be the SFPC's brightest beacon. "The SFPC has historically recognized organizations that fall under the same category (tri-institutional)," Ambrose said. "Precedents should play a part. We do that in courts too. "The SFPC and ACES have been in the Student Center building before-though it was different people on the committee that allowed it before." Gary McManus, director of the Student Center, said he agrees with Ambrose. "The Metropolitan, UCD Advocate and the Student Support Advisory Committee aren't really open to all students, yet they have office space. "The SFPC may be following the letter of the policy but may be violating the spirit of the policy. ACES is run for and by the students." But, SFPC committee members said that regardless of what decisions may have been made by the council in the past, they intend to stick to set policies now. ACES is governed by AHEC, and so should be housed by AHEC, they contest. Ambrose denied AHEC responsibility for housing ACES. "Student-related activities have to take place in student-funded space," he said.

"We couldn't do that." Ambrose said that despite their differences, · AHEC has been making efforts to negotiate with the SFPC, but that to date, the council has been unbudging. "We've tried to work with the SFPC and they've ignored us," he said. "We're much maligned." Dan Becker, chair of SCAB, meanwhile stood firm. "Auraria is who recognizes this group of people, and it's its responsibility to find a home for them,'' he said. "If we were throwing ACES out in the cold, I could understand. (But) they were informed quite a ways back that they wouldn't be given priority or even .equal consideration in allocation. I think they have drug their heels in looking for alternatives." ACES general manager, Owen Beaver, said he has been exploring options. Among the organizations that have expressed an interest in sponsoring ACES are Mile-Hi Cable and Channel 7, he said. But Beaver said that the amount of time he must spend combating for space and funds for ACES is taking a toll on the organization's productivity. 'Tm in a Catch-22,'' Beaver said. "I can help anyone on this campus be better. But I spend a lot of my energy fighting for the cause, going to meetings instead of producing. A lot of the programs are up in the

birds, and I have no way of bringing them down," he said. ACES has independent control over what it airs and accepts full responsibility. Currently, airing is restricted to the campus, but Beaver said he hopes to air programs in the Denver area as well with the help of Mile-Hi Cable. It is to be noted a predecessor to ACES, ASTRO (Auraria Student Telecommunications and Radio Organization) was run exclusively by MSC. But the group was unorganized and MSC dropped the program. AHEC then took over .and hired Beaver to get a similar program up and running. In September 1987, the SFPC approved half of ACES' funding request of $77,000, granting the organization $38,500. But, at the Nov. 2 council meeting, SFPC denied the organization space allocation priority. "Even if they were recognized, it would be tough," Becker said. "Everyone has to recognize that possibility of doubling 01 tripling up. (In fact) It's not a possibility. but a probablility," he said. Also denied space allocation in the Stu· dent Center were the Native Americar; Student Organization; special committet secretary to the SFPC, SCAB and the Stu· dent Advisory Committee to the Aurari: Board (SACAB); and a UCD organizatim c which Becker could not recall.

Requirements could cut English classes Composition criteria. Had the Freshman Composition criteria pass in its original form, the English department would have been laughed at by other colleges, she said, since the program would be 25 years outdated. That problem, she said, had been fixed after she consulted with the vice president of the Faculty Senate. Now, according to Lyn Wickelgren, chairwoman of General Studies, Delasara's first complaint may be a matter of misinterpretation. She indicated that the classes do not have to cover all of two centuries, but parts of two centuries. She also said that all departments would be making changes in their courses to meet the new criteria and that the English department had not been singled out. As far as the English department not being represented on the committee, Wickelgren said there are 32 departments on campus and six Faculty Senate-elected members on the committee so "there was no way every department could be represented." In its program proposal, the committee set up a system by which changes could be made in the program. Wickelgren said the case of the Freshman Composition problem showed the system worked. Steve Leonard, chairman of Metro's history department, summed this up by saying: "No one will really know (the effects) until the committee decides on each class." D

Chad Morris Reporter At least one MSC professor is worried that the new General Studies program may hurt enrollment in some classes that don't conform to the guidelines. Jan Delasara, chairwoman of Metro's English department, thinks the new criteria will eliminate many popular English classes like Science Fiction and Literature of Popular Interest. They could be eliminated because the criteria states that Level II courses must cover "classic works and major schools of thought from at least two centuries." These classes do not. The course criteria are key elements since a class must meet them to be available for General Studies credit~. The program, which goes into effect fall '89, is intended to provide students with a broad base of knowledge and the skills to use it. Delasara said they would probably still offer the courses, but she thought enrollment would be low since English majors aren't required t-0 take them and they would no longer be available for General Studies credits. The only other option is to alter the classes to fit the new criteria. She also said the E~glish department was not represented on the committee. She felt this could be one reason for problems. She went on to cite faults with the Freshman

Graduation Agreements

New Building Blues?

MSC students expecting to graduate this spring and anxiously awaiting the return of graduation agreements might not see them until at least the end of January, according to the Admissions and Records office. Admissions staff assistant Nancy Maierhofer said agreement evaluations are backlogged four to six weeks because many students did not submit them until the November deadline. The school received about 1,000 graduation applications for spring 1988. The office is currently finishing up status reports for fall 1987 graduates, expected to top 500, and will then begin to catch up with the spring agreements. Students with questions regarding their evaluation can contact Maierhofer at 556-3983.

Having trouble finding your class? Could it be in the new North building? Don't know? AHEC and the two campuses have set up a phone system and information desks to help the lost student. In the gallery of the southeast comer of the new building, AHEC has set up an information desk this week. Both MSC and UCO have sent out information and have posted signs directing students, and by calling 556-4079 the first week of class a student can locate classes.

Spring International Center Want to attend college but have trouble with the English language? The Spring International Language Center offers two nine-week courses in intensive English instruction for non-immigrants. Debby McBride, housing coordinator for the program, based at Arapahoe Community College and on campus since > last August, said the program is designed to teach potential college students basic English requirements needed to enroll in American colleges. Enrollees are given an English proficiency exam and then placed in one of five levels ......_ of ,instruction. The first course begins Jan. 18 anChhe second, March 14. For more information contact Jeanne Hind at 556-42.55.

Lawrence Street Closure 1

Soon enough, you won't have to worry about being stuck on the other side of Lawrence Street waiting for a WALK light. Nor will you have to worry about getting hit by a car on campus. That's because Lawrence Street from Ninth Street east through the Auraria Campus will be closed after the first of April, said Randy Ready, transportation coordinator for AHEC. The Parkway, when completed, will divert traffic north around campus to downtown. You can expect other streets through campus, including Larimer Street, to be closed in July.

The MSC Financial Aid office said 90 percent of monetary awards for the spring semester should be available on Jan. 18. Checks can be picked up from the Business Office, located across the hall from Financial Aid in the first floor of the Central Classroom building. MSC Financial Aid Associate Director Judith Lichtenfeld said applications for 1988-89 are available. The deadline for filing is Feb. 1. The change in this year's form involves needs analysis. In previous years, a student's needs were based on dependency and independency from parents. This year, needs analyses will be based on 26 different categories as designed by the federal government, she said. Lichtenfeld also said the office does not expect to have as many problems this semester with the new computer system as it had in the fall .

Metro prof more than artificially intelligent George White Reporter It's said that hard work will get you places; that if you work hard enough and care about what you're doing, you'll reach the light at the end of that long, dark tunnel. At one time, the light was far off and dim for Dr. Judy Barlow. A decade later, however, she is basking in the light of her hard work and accomplishments. In the spring semester of 1979, Barlow, then a biology major at MSC, took her first college computer course, CMS 201. Eight years and countless hours of work and study later, she received her doctorate in computer expert systems from the University of Colorado. Today, she's back where she started, but on the other side of the desk, teaching computer courses at MSC. "Sure, it took a lot of hard work, but it was easy because I was enjoying the things that I was doing. I still do," says Barlow, an assistant professor who has taught full time at MSC for two years. Things have come full circle for Barlow, who has been around the college in one capacity or another since her undergraduate days.

"It's like deja vu. I see students doing the same work, school and family balancing act that I did when I was a student here," says Barlow. She graduated from MSC in 1982, received her master's degree in mineral economics from Colorado School of Mines in 1984, and finished her Ph.D. in computer expert systems at CU last spring. She has taught here part or full time since 1983. She has become the faculty's resident systems expert and artificial intelligence wizard and this spring will teach CMS 490, the most advanced computer course the college offers. "Judy Barlow is one of the best students the computer science department has ever had. She was exceptional," says Dr. ~orman Pence, who taught CMS 331, a business forecasting class that Barlow cites as one of her most important courses. Pence takes great pride in Barlow's achievements, and she herself enjoys being on the same faculty as those who taught her. "The instructors here did a great job in preparing me," says Barlow, who shares an office with another of the former teachers, Warren Kuehner. To say that Judy Barlow enjoys working

Metro prof Judy Barlow and her son, Eli. with computers is a huge understatement. At home, a computer takes care of her household business like printing her checks and helping her with home finances. With a phone call, she can tum her lights off and on. Her 14-year-old son, Eli, has gotten into the computer spirit with his mothe~. Eli has a phone modem set up so that his computer automatically phones radio stations when he hears of a contest going on. The computer just dials and dials, and he's won quite a few things, Barlow says. Last year he won a trip to Stockholm, Sweden, to see Huey Lew~ and the News. Eli is also known to Barlow's students. He sometimes comes to class and lectures on various things he's doing with his computer. He also helps his mother grade her students' programs and creates his own video programs. Barlow and her son spend a lot of time at their terminals. Besides being her career,

the computer is her favorite pastime. 'Td rather sit down at a machine and solve a problem than go to about any social function," says Barlow, who adds that when she does socialize, it's usually with computer-oriented people over cocktails or on the slopes. . "What we've done at home is explore the possibilities more than a lot of people do with their computers. The equipment I have at home isn't that much greater - we've just added a bunch of fun stuff into it," Barlow says. Barlow has also surrounded herself with various computer projects and activities. She serves as the secretary-treasurer for the Rocky Mountain Society for Artificial Intelligence, a research group that includes < employees of Martin-Marietta and US West, as well as a small group of MSC students.

----OP-ED Where has al I the money gone? As I start a new semester and grimace at my evertightening pocketbook, I can't help but wonder-as I'm sure many students do at one time or another why society expounds the virtues of higher education and then cuts the financial opportunities to obtain that education? I'm not just talking about governmental financial aid or student loans or grants. I've applied for my share of them, believe me. It's unfortunate that the people who deem me too wealthy for aid can't see the finagling my husband and I have to do each semester to make sure all the ends meet properly. My concern lies with the "thousands" of scholarships I've heard are "out there" but can't seem t<> find. I've heard of the money that goes wasted because students don't apply for scholarships. Where is it? Show me - I'll apply! I've been to the financial aid office. The advice there is to go to your department and the library. My department doesn't offer any scholarships at this time, so I'm out of luck there. I also checked the President's Scholarship, but l_'m not a Colorado

resident. This requirement lets out a number of transfer students. So I went to the library. There was a nice selection of books to choose from: "Directory of Federal Aid for the Handicapped ," " Grants for Graduate Students," and " Scholarships, Fellowships and Loans," among others. I diligently sat there for about an hour - not just once, but several times - and searched the books for help. At first I was optim istic. I jotted down names of organizations and trust funds that offer money to students. I wrote to about five of them and received a reply from only one. And that one only g ives money to other organizations to offer scholarships in its name. Then I became depressed. As I went through the books, I'd find a possibility-except that I was in the wrong field, I was going to the wrong school, I was in the wrong state, I wasn't in the right club. I did find a few to apply for and am in the process of receiving and comp leting the applications. I think the feeling I have most is frustration. I

appreciate those who have pointed me in the right direction as best they could. But after hitting so many dead ends, I'm almost reluctant to be pointed in another direction. If I'm not going about my hunt in the right way, please - someone - tell me! If there are organizations out there who are willing to take a risk on a student- tell me! I'm willing to do the legwork, but I'm not a mind reader. Companies who complain that students don't respond to their money call probably don't realize that students who would respond may not know the money's there. If there's any support for higher education, it's going to have to come from local businesses and clubs-and they're going to have to let students know it's there. I agree that the mind is a terrible thing to waste -but so's the money that could be used to educate it.

King's vision shown in letter's messages

This is an excerpt taken from a letter written by Martin Luther King, Jr. while he was imprisoned in a Birmingham fail. It is directed to eight white religious leaders who were concerned about King's activities.

My dear Fellow Clergymen, ... We know through painful experience that freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed. Frankly I have never yet engaged in a direct action movement that was "well timed," according to the timetable of those who have not suffered unduly from the disease of segregation. For years now I have heard the word "Wait!" It rings in the ear of ~very Negro with a piercing familiarity. This "wait" has almost always meant "never." It has been a tranquilizing thalidomide, relieving the emotional stress for a moment, only to give birth to an illformed infant of frustration. We must come to see with the distinguished jurist of yesterday that "justice too long delayed is justice denied." We have waited for more than three hundred and forty years for our constitutional and Cod-given rights. The nations of Asia and Africa are moving with jet-like speed toward the goal of political independence, and we still creep at horse and buggy pace toward the gaining of a cup of coffee at a lunch counter. I guess it is easy for those who have never felt the stinging darts of segregation to say

wait. But when you have seen vicious mobs lynch your mothers and fathers at will and drown your sisters and brothers at whim; when you have seen hate filled policemeP curse, kick, brutalize, and even kill your black brothers and sisters with impunity; when you see the vast majority of your twenty million Negro brothers smothering in an air-tight cage of poverty in the midst of an affluent society; when you suddenly find your tongue twisted and your speech stammering as you seek to explain to your six-year-old daughter why she can't go to the public amusement park that has just been advertised on television, and see tears welling up in her little eyes when she is told that Funtown is closed to colored children, and see the depressing clouds of inferiority begin to form in her little mental sky, and see her begin to distort her little personality by unconsciously developing a bitterness toward white people; when you have to concoct an answer for a five-year-old son asking in agonizing pathos: "Daddy, why do white people treat colored people so mean?"; when you take a cross country drive and find it necessary to sleep night after night in the uncomfortable comers of your automobile because no motel will accept you; when you are humiliated day in and day out by nagging signs reading "white" men and "colored"; when your first name becomes "nigger" and your middle name becomes "boy" (however old you are) and your last name becomes "John," and when your wife and mother are never given the respected title "Mrs."; when you are harried by day and haunted by night by the fact that you are a Negro, living constantly at tip-toe stance never quite knowing what to expect next, and . plagued with inner fears and outer resentments; when you are forever fighting a degenerating sense of "no-bodiness"; then you will understand why we find it difficult to wait...

Yours for the cause of Peace and Brotherhood

WEEKLY

929-April 4, 1968

Twenty years later, the dream is alive Shirley Bonner Reporter

Luther King, Jr. Day

As January stirs the winds of winter, the month also arouses the emotions of the American people who honor the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on January 18. King has come to be known as a special man who so strongly believed in justice he was willing to die For it. He affected the attitudes and beliefs and hopes and dreams of a multitude of people, black and white alike. He intensified the hatred of those who wanted to hold on to the malignant growth of injustice remissly disguised as "separate but equal." He magnified the hope of my people who have survived despite the odds. Standing as a unique man, he was a martyr in our time. He was a leader, a dreamer. He hoped that his four children would one day live in a nation where they would not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. He never saw that dream actualized. On the evening of April 4, 1968, he walked onto the balcony of his hotel room in Memphis, Tenn., the city where he was scheduled to lead a protest rally. The spring air masked the cruel nature of man. As King stood there, looking out at a city festering with bigotry, an assassin's bullet tore into the back of his neck, severing his spine. Mortally wounded, he staggered backwards, collasping to the balcony's walkway. Minutes later, the 39-year-old preacher lay dead. When his life was taken from him, parts of OUT lives were taken from us. We took his death personally. Many of us were only children when he died. Amidst OUT innocence and anguish we sought comfort. As though understanding could ease our pain, we asked the perpetual why questions that curious children always ask - "Mama, why did King die? Why don't they like us?" As best as I understood the events at the time, there was a man named King who did not know me personally, but who tried to protect me from certain people. He did this because there were those who did not acknowledge me or permit me to sit alongside their children. There was not much of me to understand. I was a child who had feelings and fears, no different than other children. Praise me and I released a shy smile just as other children did. Treat me unjustly, and a rage, born out of hurt, seethed within me just as it did in other children. Soon I came to realize that I was different. I was a child of color growing up in a world of people who told me that because I was not the right color, I was not good enough. But I was, the Rev. King told me so .

I often remember King and not just in January. I believe in his dream, a part of him lives in me. I am one of those who have suffered unjustly. Look into the black face 0f a South African, the white face of a Soviet dissident, the brown face of a frightened Nicaraguan, the red face of the forgotten American Indian or the yellow face of the Filipino poor. Look there and you shall see me. I am the one for whom King died. Although my struggle continues, I honor the man. As Lenwood Davis said in his book I Have A Dream, King had the courage to speak to every racist, religious fanatic and political oppressor who convince their constitutents to believe that one person is superior to another. According to Davis, King "spoke to those who remain silent and know in their hears that they should speak out. He spoke to the nation that preaches love and brotherhood and practices hatred and bigotry." He caused the nation to examine its conscience. Looking on the dark side of its character, the nation acknowledged that the system of separatism spoke of man's inhumanity to man. Some Americans were moved to shame, others were not. King's words only further hardened the hooded souls of men, women and children hiding behind the white sheets of hatred and cowardice. The brutality of their lynch mobs and humilation of their "eena-meenamina-mo-catch-a-nigger-by-the-toe" nursery rhymes makes it hard to live out King's teaching that blacks shall match white America's capacity to inflict suffering by OUT capacity to endure suffering. The violence at Howard Beach, the brutal murder of Alan Berg, the rebirth of hate groups throughout the country remind us that we must still wait on righteousness in a country that preaches justice and freedom D around the world.

Time is ticking on ways to reduce stress levels Kim Matyk Reporter "Why don't I ever have enough time?" How many times have you heard this said? How often have you said this yourself? Lack of time is something most of us have more often than we might like to admit. The fact is, you can learn to use your time effectively and efficiently to accomplish more than you ever thought possible. Time management is a phrase you will hear over and over again in any career. But what exactly does it mean? As you might anticipate, it means becoming more efficient at what you do. More specifically, time management is the management of activities we engage in every day. Experts in the field of time management recognize that college students who have a ne11:lectful attitude toward deadlines are often not penalized. They accumulate their incompletes and finish their course work at their convenience. However, in the business world, deadlines and time pressures are looked upon more seriously. The time-conscious executive is able to take on new projects and adapt his day-today routine to fit long-term plans. In order to understand the hows and whys of your time pressures, you must first understand something about the nature of time. There is never enough time to do everything! Given this realization, you can develop a sense of value for time and an awareness of what you are going to do with this scarce resource.

What, then, do you need to do to control the affairs of your day? Most time management experts focus on three basic steps: •Assessment: It is virtually impossible to manage your time effectively until you first have an accurate picture of what happens to it. Analyze your typical routine for a few days. Use a notebook to keep track of everything you do from reading the morning paper to talking to friends. Based on this evaluation, you will be able to identify your problems - activities that are time wasters. Be prepared for a few surprises: how you think you are using your time and how you really spend it may be two different realities! ePlan: Your next step is to make a list of what needs to be done and establish each task's importance by prioritizing. The bigger the job, the more important this step becomes. Writing down ahd assessing your goals will help you clarify what is truly important to you. Focus on a plan to achieve your most significant goals and define other tasks as secondary. •Schedule: Once you have defined your goals and prioritized them, you are ready to implement your plan of action. Scheduling involves determining when you're going to do each of the things on your list. It may be practical to attack A before B - it may even be necessary to complete A ' before B can be started. Use a calendar or a "to do" list to plan how you intend to use your valuable time.

Hoopsters split holiday games Robert Ritter Associate Editor

Two consecutive losses last week marred what would have otherwise been a victorious Christmas break for the MSC men's basketball team. The Roadrunners gave away a game Jan. 5 to the University of :-.;orthem Colorado 73-70. They followed that with a defeat at the hands of Kew Mexico Highlands 72-62 Jan. 9. Prior to the losses, Metro racked up three wins in four games to start the Christmas break. They scored a 98-76 win over Aurora (Ill.) College, lost 72-62 to Division I Cincinnati University, then whipped Colorado Baptist College 109-55 and Calvin (Mich.) College 76-68. "We had four good games in a row and were playing well," head coach Bob Hull said. Then disaster struck. Leading UNC by six points with just under two minutes left, the Roadrunners committed three turnovers in as many trips down the court to seal their fate. Two desperation three-point bombs fell short and the Roadrunners have yet to beat the Bears. "We were just running our offense and didn't designate any one guy. It was just the turnovers that killed us," Hull said. After an eight-hour bus ride to face Highlands, Metro played what Hull called "probably our worst game of the year." The Roadrunners fell behind early and couldn't catch up as their record fell to 8-5 on the year.

"It was kind of a combination where Highlands hit their shots and played real well and we couldn't hit a thing. We dug a hole, got in it and couldn't get out of it," Hull said. And as starting center Rich Grosz goes, so go the Roadrunners. Of the five games Grosz has scored in single figures, Metro has lost four. "He's pretty much the barometer of our team," Hull said. "Rich has played poorly the last two games (six points in each game), but he's an important aspect of our team." The Roadrunners continue to outrebound their opponents by a margin of eight per game. Grosz leads the team with a 10.2 average. The only changes Hull has in store is to move guard T.J. Milan to a small forward position and Kirk Smith to Milan's starting

spot. Hull said he thinks Milan will help the team better as a forward and Smith, who has played impressively in the last six games, will get a chance to display his offensive skills. 'ow that the preliminaries are over, the Roadrunners prepare to open their conference schedule Jan. 15 and 16 in Alaska. But the last two losses have Hull a little worried. "To come off that game and go into conference is a little frightening. (And) we don't have any breathers the rest of the way," he said. "But our schedule has prepared us. We should be ready." After the Roadrunners return from Alaska they will play at Regis College Jan. 21 at 7:30 p.m. and at home against Eastern D Montana College Jan. 23 at 6:30 p.m.

Ladies tread water, men sink Eric Mees

Assistant Editor

A four-week layoff for Christmas break proved to be no gift for the MSC men's swim team, but a boon for the women's team. Both teams competed against the Colorado School of Mines Jan. 9. The women swam away 98-58, while the men were sunk 114-97. First year MSC coach Steve Hadley said that a sport such as swimming requires practice every day, but it wasn't that easy over the break. "Some chose to practice, others had other obligations. The (swimmers') times were OK," Hadley said. The highlights of the men's meet came in the 400-meter free relay. The team of Tim Cornell, Mark Fraser-Smith, Jeff Evans and Rob Goodwin set a season record time of 3:23.35. Diver Dane Sandoval also set a season record in the one-meter dive with a score of 233.45. On the women's side, Jana Zamboni set a school record time of 2:30.89 in the 200-

meter lndividual Medley. The record has been broken three times this season. "This year, we've broken 16 (women's) team records," Hadley said. "Some records have been broken three or four times." The men have broken only one team record this year - Brad Crimmins in the 1650-meter freestyle with a time of 18:26.90 (at the Buff Invitational at CU in December). Although the men's team is 4-6 and the women's 7-5-1 overall, Hadley sees both teams moving in the right direction. At the Intermountain Swim League (ISL) Relay meet (Saturday, Jan. 16, 4 p.m. at DU), he predicts the women will finish second and the men second or third. Metro will be competing against the Colorado School of Mines, Denver University, Colorado College and the University of Colorado.at Boulder. FortheISLChampionships (Feb.19and 20 at CC), Hadley predicts third place finishes for both teams. "From what I understand (of previous teams' successes) , I see progress. Lots of progress," Hadley said. D

"We were down 22 points and came back," Guthals said. "I felt we could win it." The second game seemed to be shadowed by the outcome of the first as the Roadrunners lost again, 80-63, the next night to Fairbanks. A combination of poor shooting, rebounding and inconsistency placed MSC last in the Continental Divide Conference with 34 percent field goal shooting. The lowest possible individual scoring average for ranking in the conference is 13.5 and no Roadrunner has that. A few players are ranked individually,

Wins over Colorado Mines and Colorado College started the break on a high note, but the music quickly changed as the Roadrunners lost to Angelo State, Northern Colorado, Southeast Missouri State and Alaska-Fairbanks in quick succession.

"I have to be supportive." The Roadrunners will play Adams State on Jan. 14 and the University of Denver on Jan. 15. "I think we are more evenly matched up as far as playing ability goes against these teams," Guthals said. "Adams State is quick and DU has height which can be intimidating, but I think we're evenly matched up." D
