Attacker thwarted Laurence C. Washington Reporter

.•

A quick-thinking victim prevented her own rape in the PE building women's locker room Feb. 24.

The intruder committed third-degree sexual assault by fondling the student, but she was able to talk her way out of getting raped, said Lolly Ferguson of Auraria Public Safety.

A male wearing a ski mask reportedly grabbed a female MSC student from behind as she was showering at 8:30 p.m., Ferguson said This was the second intrusion of the locker room in five months.

The first intrusion occurred Sept 25, when reports of a peeping Tom led to the arrest of a black male MSC student. He was acquitted in December.

Dick Feuerborn, director of Campus Recreation, said be is implementing a system to screen people on the gymnasium's first floor. The system includes increasing staff and posting guards at either end of the balls to check IDs. Feuerborn said it will increase costs, but added that money is not a factor.

"We have to do something. Send these people a message that we're aware of the problem."

Feuerborn said staff will be more visible, and after a while he hopes to streamline the system - he concedes the inconvenience of checking IDs will not be well received.

He also said he hopes students realiz.e inconvenience is an admirable trade-off for safety.

"H you have a thought (on safety), get it to us," Feuerborn said Ferguson suggested female students use the buddy system.

"Ask a femaJ,e student if she minds banging around while you shower." a

Students 'mock' justice system George White Reporter

The fate of Frank McCool, charged with the cold-blooded murder of 25-year-old Roger Allen during a barroom argument, rested in the bands of a crack team of MSC students last weekend. The students traveled to Des Moines, Iowa, to present the killer's defense.

At least during the first and third rounds.

McCool was the suspect, Roger Allen was the victim, and collegiate teams from

around the country were the lawyers, witnesses and experts at the Fourth Annual Intercollegiate Mock Trial Competition Feb. 26-28 at Drake University.

Ten MSC students, all of whom are involved in student government, participated in the competition, in which they argued against other teams for the prosecution, or defense, of Frank McCool.

McCool was the central figure in the fictional case created by the Drake Law School.

"Drake is the only school with a compe-

tition like this for undergraduate schools," said Loura Bohlender, chief justice on the MSC Judicial Board, who acted as a lawyer at the mock trial.

The competition, which began four years ago with 15 teams participating, has grown to include 66 teams from 49 schools.

Twenty-three states were represented, including Florida, Hawaii and Kentucky.

MSC and CU-Boulder were Colorado's only representatives.

Noriega denounced on campus Mlryam Wiiey Reporter

One of Panama's strongest opposition leaders denounced the horrors of torture under Manuel Antomio Noriega's "dictatorship" in Panama during a speech to a group of about 100 students and teachers . at the St Francis Center Feb. 24.

Mayin Correa Delgado, 52, legislator and broadcaster, and the person at the top of

Noriega's most-wanted list, said she hoped her English would be clear enough to let the people of this country know that members of a democratic crusade, who have been imprisoned because of their efforts to bring back democracy, are going to die of AIDS. "Eighteen of them (crusaders) were forced to have sex with people (prisoners) who have AIDS. Some are now dying of depression. It includes three law students ...,"Delgado said, her voice wavering as she

Women's successes overlooked Staff Lhasha Tizer, a Boulder holistic health counselor and facilitator of ongoing workshops for women, is a family counselor who has done years of research on ~ues and difficulties that women have always faced. She believes if women are to achieve their full potential they must learn to reshift the focus from primarily external achievements toward "the deeper internal awarenes.5 that uncover the timeless wisdom of our own rich past and utilize the truths that exist within our bodies. In this way,

each of us can begin to creatively meet the challenges and demands placed upon us in our modem world."

History taught in the traditional sense has virtually overlooked the accomplishments and contributions of women. Yet, American women of every race, class and ethnic background have played a critical role in the development of our nation in countless ways.

National Women's History Month, officially established in 1987, is a time to honor and uncover women's forgotten heritage. It is also a time to expand the

emphasis of history to include the stories of women's everyday lives, stories that hold inspiration and a new perspective for looking at the future.

This year's theme, "Reclaiming the Past, Rewriting the Future," develops the focus of women's history to include a new way of looking at the challenges and opportunities of the future.

Cross-registration jeopardized

Pooled classes sunk? "

•

•

Gabrielle Johnston Reporter Students at both MSC and the University of Colorado at Denver may ultimately be discouraged from taking pooled classes as a result of drastic policy changes expected to occur this summer.

Pooled classes, which began in 1979, allow Metro and UCD students to take classes at either institution (including classes from hberal arts and sciences, physical education and others approved by individual departments). This program gives students a wider variety of cliwes to choose from, in addition to offering several different times for popular classes.

Jett Conner, interim director of enrollment management at Metro, said the pooled c~ program is what attracts many students to the Auraria campus.

"This exact common pool a~ is what makes (the) Auraria campus unique," Conner said Many students on campus take advantage of the pooled class system. For example, in spring of 1987, MSC students took 3,422 mdit hours through UCD-spomored~.

For the same semester, UCD students took 4,212 hours through Metro, said Carolyn Simmons, associate dean of the College of Lt'beral Arts and Sciences at UCO. However, beginning this summer, students will no longer be able to register for both schools' classes during one registration.

Instead, students w:ill have to register separately for both schools, making the registration process tedious and lengthy.

Conner said the new policies could discourage students from wanting to participate in pooled classes. He said policy changes are an attempt by UCD to eliminate the program.

"It boils down to this: UCD would rather not have it," Conner said.

The policy changes came abo~t when UCD decided to switch to computer systems that will no longer be corppatible with Metro computer systems, according to Gil Schmidt, assistant vice chancellor for Academic Affairs at UCO. UCD for several years has had walk-in registration and hopes to switch to telephone registration by the summer of 1988, Schmidt said.

Because the two schools' computer systems will no longer be compatible, it will become necessary for students to register separately for classes at each school.

In addition, students will have to fill out mini-applications forms for the host school . and will have to get signatures from both the dean and adviser of their home schools in order to participate in the pooled c~ program, according to Schmidt and Conner.

Schmidt said registration would not be difficult for students.

"The only problem is going to be taking the approval sheets across the street (to the host school)," Schmidt said Conner disagreed. He said UCO has not supported the pooled class program and has created "roadblocks" for students in an effort to end it.

"They will have achieved this by Jflaking it so difficult, it will be impossible (for students to take pooled classes)," Conner said He said the new policies will affect students who need grade verification for insurance and course load verification for financial aid purposes.

Because the computers are not compatible, verifying students' grade point averages and course loads will be time consuming, Conner said. Therefore, students who need these

MSC receives bit o' the Irish Jay Hauptman Reporter

The MSC debate team tried to get an inside line on its competition for the upcoming Irish Debate by calling in a former Irish team member for strategic advice.

MSC speech professor Gary Holbrook, responsible for organizing the Irish Debate Series Tour, asked Brian Murray to counsel the MSC team on tactics for the March 17 debate.

Murray, an Irish barrister (lawyer) who was part of the Irish team in 1984, is now interning in Denver with federal Judge John Kane.

Murray and MSC team members Michael Archibeque, Kalmon "Bullet'' Simon and Paul Shea discussed this year's motion for debate: "This House Respects the Private Lives of Public Figures."

Shea said the session was helpful because it made him examine the arguments more closely.

"Right away he (Murray) rattled off 10 or 15 points why our position is wrong," he said.

Murray told the debaters it was important to polish their oratory because the Irish team will try to take what the MSC team savs and turn it against them, Shea said.

• The teams will debate whether the press invades the privacy of public people. The MSC team will assert that the press does invade public figures' privacy.

The Irish Debate Series, in its ninth year, will bring the winners of the Irish Times Student Debating Competition to the United States for six debates.

The first debate is at Harvard University March 9, with other debates at the UDiversity of Southern Colorado March 15, the University of Colorado at Boulder March 21, Colorado State UDiversity March 23 and the University of Wyoming March 25.

The MSC debate will be held in the Student Center Room 330 at l p.m. Admission is free.

The Irish team will be Peter Boyles' guest on KNUS radio, 710-AM, March 11 at 10:30 a.m. Both teams will be on Boyles' Talk Tv, United Cable Channel 10, March 16 at 6 p.m. o

verifications may be forced to take all ~ at their home schools.

Schmidt said that problem exists now. He said that presently both schools are on the same computer systems and necessary verification is not difficult to obtain.

The new policies may also affect tuition costs. Because tuition fees are slightly different at the two schools, pooled class students will have to pay more to take classes at UCD. Furthermore, the amount of paperwork in administration will increase because of the required application forms for pooled class students.

Ken Curtis, 8$istant vice president and dean of Admissions and Records, said the

increased paperwork is tedious.

"It's a cumbersome system, let me tell you," Curtis said.

Schmidt agreed that there are some problems with the new registration system, but said the new policy would be the most effective for the time being.

"If we can change it to make it better, given the restraints of the common system, we'll do it," Schmidt said.

A common pool council has been formed to solve problems with the new system and will meet every two weeks to discuss and work on ways to meet the needs of common pool students. Recommendations for the new policies will be submitted to both institutions by March 20. o

Rally invests ·m Denver Elena Frldland Reporter It's about the future.

"It's an investment in the city of Denver, in the state of Colorado and in the whole United States of America," said Denver Fire Chief Richard Gonzales Feb. 27 on the steps of the Capitol during a rally to celebrate the TRIO programs.

TRIO, which originally had three programs and now has five, was formed in 1965 and has been on the MSC campus ever since. Programs consists of Upward Bound, Talent Search, Student Support Services, Educational Opportunity Centers and Veteran's Upward Bound.

Upward Bound is a pnx:ollegiate program for high school students, Talent Search is for high school students in their senior year, Student Support Services is for students currently in college, Educational Opportunity Centers are for adults wishing to continue their education, and V,eteran's Upward Bound is for all veterans who would like to continue their education.

And judging from the high spirits and bright smiles of the 200 people gathered at the Capitol, TRIO seems to be serving its purpose, which is to encourage students of all stages and walks of life to continue their education.

"I was in the program when it was just starting, in 1968 and 1969," Gon:zales said.

"I was the first person in my family of 12 kids to even finish high school. And the program also helped me to socialize."

Gonz.ales said going to college now doesn't

sound like a big deal; students go to "hang out." But back then, college was a completely different scene. He said the people of the TRIO program made him aware of how special he was, and that he had something to offer.

"It's obvious that this program works," Gonzales said, pointing out people like Butch Montoya, news director of Channel 9, and Paulette Mcintosh, coordinator/ counselor of MSC Upward Bound, who also went through the program.

Charles Maldonado, director of the Upward Bound program at Metro and another TRIO graduate, said the Feb. 27 rally was designed to attract the nation's attention to the need of education.

Other speakers said if only the rich could get higher education, this country could develop its own apartheid - an academic one.

Sixty-five percent of TRIO students are minorities: 41 percent are black, 17 percent are Hispanic, 4 percent are American Indian and 3 percent are Asian. The second largest number - 35 percent - are white.

Beth Griffith, a 48-year-old equine science major at Colorado State University, carried a sign at the rally reading, "If it is to be, it is up to me." She explained that even though the program needs the funds, it is really up to individuals to use their ability "to make something of themselves."

And the rally participants, supported by Mayor Federico Pena, Gov. Roy Romer, Congresswoman Pat Schroeder and Congressman Dan Schaeffer, seemed determined to do just that. o

Troubles in Panama continued from pg. 1 I've never seen her break down. But she has seen too many of her friends suffer in Panama," Johnson said.

Delgado is the main force on the National Civic Crusade in Panama, which began in June 1987, and is comprised of more than 200 organizations, including businesses, churches, labor unions, students and others.

The ·Crusade was formed after General Diaz Herrera, the second most important member of the army in Panama, retired and denounced the crimes that Noriega has been involved in, such as the electoral fraud of 1984, drug trafficking, corruption and the decapitation of prominent opposition leader Hugo Spadafora in 1985.

Johnson also said Delgado had been under house arrest for three months and could not leave her house until a few months ago on Noriega's birthday, when fewer guards were outside. She escaped through a basement window in the back of her house.

To escape Panama, Delgado made seven airline reservations but flew on one where she had no reservation, Johnson said.

Johnson added that Delgado's car had been machine-gunned, and when they were together in Panama, they had to change cars constantly.

"They haven't caught her because she is so well protected," Johnson said, implying that her countrymen look out for her.

"Mayin is so protected because she is loved by millions, and I mean, not thousands, but millions. She is absolutely worshipped in Panama."

Delgado has been a su~ful talk show host for 14 years, but Noriega cancelled her show La Palabra (The Word), and shut down a radio station owned by her family.

Delgado returned about five minutes later to continue her speech.

Deigado said the United States was the

number one supporter of Noriega.

"He got more support than all the previous generals together," she said. "He's been a guest at the White House."

A former communist, Delgado is said to have changed her views after a trip to North Korea.

"I'm ac.cused of being too much proNorth America," Delgado said But she made it clear that she did not approve of every action the United States took in Panama.

She mentioned a conversation she had with Attorney General Edwin Meese last May in Texas when they sat next to each other at a seminar. Meese had sent a letter of congratulations to Noriega for helping in a drug operation.

Delgado said she questioned the purpose of Meese's letter, especially since he knew Noriega was a drug trafficker.

Meese insisted that the accusations had not been proven and that, in fact, Noriega had helped the operation.

Delgado said she argued that Noriega had done it only for publicity because he helped the drug operation bust with one hand, and also helped the drug traffic with the other.

Meese repeated that it had not been proven.

"I got very upset and I moved out of my place," she said.

Delgado quoted former U.S. ambassador to Panama, William Jordan, who said on ABC's Nightline that Noriega had been on the CIA payroll for 16 years and made $200,000 a year.

"They created him (Noriega), they supported him, only to help the United States interests. It's a shame," Delgado said.

"When we are friends, we should tell those things so th~t they don't happen again," she added. o

Many schools sent more than one team, which is what this year's team hopes MSC will do next year.

"We'd like to be more organired next year and be able to send two teams," said Kelly Martin, vice-president of MSC student government, who portrayed a witness at the mock trial.

Iowan judges, attorneys and law students graded the teams on a point system for preparation, presentation, and composure. Each team argued four rounds, and the top scores earned a spot in the finals.

MSC sent a team to the competition last year, and experience seems to be a factor in the success of the teams.

"All of the teams in the top 10 have been there at least three of the four years," Bohlender.

The MSC team won no prizes, but did manage to gain the verdict in two of the four rounds. They expect to hear in a few weeks how they fared in the final standings.

The top two teams, from the University of South Dakota and Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio, argued the case in front of the Iowa Supreme Court Feb. 28. The South Dakota team won the top prize.

The MSC team received the case particulars four weeks ago and worked hard to create cases both for and against Frank McCool.

The student la:wJers were helped by local attorney Al Cecil, and witnesses gained insight from talking to their real-life counterparts: local medical examiners and policemen.

MSC's participation in the competition was funded by the student government, which plans to recoup the $3,980 expense from the Student Affairs Board March 7.

Dan Becker, student senate secretary, sees no problem in obtaining the funds from the SAB. "It's a good program, and a great way to expose people to intelligence from Colorado," Becker said, adding that he'd like to see a better procedure for selecting next year's team.

Martin agreed, admitting that this year's team was assembled quickly "so we could make sure to get a team there."

The team plans to make the program more visible to the general student population, get more students involved and make sure the teams are more organized next year, Martin said "It was a great weekend," Bohlender said - an opinion that seems to be shared by everyone involved.

Except, perhaps, Frank McCool. And poor, dead Roger Allen. o

When KCNC-Channel 4 helicopter pilot Mike Silva took off in his chopper Feb. 10, he never suspected he'd land as a Denver celebrity.

But later that afternoon, during a highspeed police chase, Silva, an MSC student, and cameraman Jim Stair found themselves in an uncommon situation.

From their overhead vantage point, they could see what the police couldn't the location of the robbery suspect who ran over and killed a Denver detective during a chase, abandoned his car, took a hostage at gunpoint and was in the process of escaping in a pickup truck.

Because of their vantage point, Silva and Stair decided to contain the vehicle until police could arrive. They swooped down, hovered over the pickup and landed in front of it. Police swarmed to the scene, and during a hail of gunfire, killed the suspect, 24year-old Phillip Hutchison, and rescued his elderly hostage.

Film footage taken by Stair appeared on the 5 p.m. news, and suddenly Silva found himself in another flurry - that of local reporters.

"You know, I just did what I felt was right. Something had to be done," Silva said "The police were unaware that be had a hostage. The reason I went in so low was to avoid the whole thing moving out onto Sheridan Boulevard That street would've been their major thoroughfare to escape, and

guy."

Silva said that news helicopter pilots are directed by their stations and by the police to "stay out of the event and let the police do their jobs."

Silva received criticism for ~ibly putting more lives inieopardy with his decision to follow the truck. But Silva said he had assessed the situation and felt he was putting no one in unnecessary danger.

"I have no regrets about what happened. I was confident it was the right thing to do. I worked for Public Service for a few years as a pilot and serviced a network of 3,600 miles of power lines every six weeks. I know how to fly around them," he said Another Denver television station alerted the Federal Aviation Administration concerning Silva's landing amidst low-hanging power lines and traffic to help the police. But the FAA found nothing wrong with Silva's conduct.

Silva said he was afraid only once during the event.

"After we made the landing, the suspect had his gun pointed at the head of bis hostage and was yelling at him. I founq out later that be was telling him to ram the helicopter.

I was prepared for them to try this, and I was prepared to take off again immediately. But at the time, I was terrified be was gonna

shoot the guy," he said It is this kind of"living in the action" that Silva does not want to be part of. So be returned to school two years ago to pursue a bachelor's degree in multimedia communications with hopes of becoming a television meteorologist within the next 10 years.

Silva graduated from MSC in 1979 with a science and criminology degree, and has worked as both a police officer and pilot for several metro sheriff agencies, in addition to his other pilot work for Public Service and for the Army National Guard But he's decided to give all that up now.

"It takes a better man than I am to deal with all that. I really respect the job they (policemen) do. I just don't want to do it for the rest of my life," he said.

Silva has chosen a career as different as ni~ht and day, when compared to his heli-

copter and police work, but it is one that will put him back in front of a television camera.

This time, it will be for a reason he is more comfortable with.

"Meteorology has always interested me.

Initially, I'd like to present the weather from a different angle than it is done now. Denver has the third largest general aviation population, and I'd like to focus weather toward pilots in a way that would interest other viewers," be said. Silva said he has in mind a 20- or 30-second live "pop" from the helicopter that would be aired on the news. Eventually, however, be said he wants to ground himself and appear solely in the studio.

But as helicopters helped him get his first television spot, they have also put him through school, so to speak. General Electric, KCNC's owner, pays his tuition.

He said he would prefer to keep working for KCNC, but would not mind working for either of KCNC's two competitors, KUSA (9) and KMGH (7). He has piloted for both stations in the past.

But until he reaches his goal, Silva is working toward receiving recognition seals from the National Weather Association and the American Meteorology Society. And, of course, there is school.

"The reason I returned to school is that I want to be credible in the field when I do it.

Sometimes, people don't need that to get the job. But I want it," he said. Silva said be hopes to graduate next year.

For awhile, however, Silva will remain in the cockpit for Channel 4, doing what he hopes will be less adventurous.

Bicycle path detours

Space crunch

Bicyclists and pedestrians who use the Cherry Creek bicycle path between Broadway and Wazee streets can expect detours well into the summer.

The $2.2 million bridge construction at Cherry Creek and Lincoln Boulevard will cause a detour onto Speer Boulevard for riders and pedestrians until mid-July, according to Jim Feilding, with the construction contractor Centric Jones.

Feilding said temporary access ramps to Speer Boulevard have been set up. The path is closed between 7 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. during the work week. After hours, a warning sign cautions path users to the construction area, he said.

Further downstream, from near Colfax to Wazee Street, the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District is doing $170,000 worth of erosion-control work along the stream bed, said maintenance chief Mark Hunter.

That portion of the pathway will be closed periodically until the end of May, he said Work consists of shoring up the eroding I 0-foot high concrete walls and under the trail, he said Rod Wiberg, director of planning for Denver Parks and Recreation, said they are in the process of drawing up a map offering a relatively safe alternate route for bicyclists to use during the extended construction period.

In an effort to alleviate a growing space need, the University of Colorado at Denver has leased 104,000 square feet in the Dravo building in downtown Denver, according to published reports.

The university tried unsuccessfully last year to purchase the building for $12 million.

The leased space will house the graduate school of architecture and planning, the division of continuing education, undergraduate and graduate business schools and some administrative offices..

Those departments are now in several older, nearby buildings owned by CU, according to Jeff Konzak, vice chairman for Administration and Finance at CU-Denver.

He said those buildings will be closed and put on the market.

"We are leasing off-campus space because of the shortage on the Auraria campus," Komak told theRockyMountainNews. "As we look ahead for the next five years, we anticipate we will need more space."

Willey said he, AHEC executives and

The M~Uopolltari

Health director assumes it won't happen

UCD use of clinic doubtful in future Kim Halverson Reporter

The University of Colorado at Denver has been negotiating for a year and a half to join forces with the MSC health clinic, but clinic director Ron Veatch said he's assuming that won't happen.

"It's been an on-again, off-again situation with UCD. The UCD students.are coming in and buying services at the MSC health clinic, which makes planning a little difficult," Veatch said.

Last year, the MSC health clinic was funded with the assumption that UCD would join it, which caused some budget problems.

During the Feb. 24 Financial Affairs Committee (FAC) meeting, Veatch submitted a $50,000 supplemental budget increase.

The base funding for the health clinic this year was $270,000, which was funded by the Student Affairs Board (SAB). An additional appropriation of $20,000 was granted for the health clinic to stay solvent.

The MSC health clinic is student-fee funded. An activity fee of $41, in addition to tuition, is automatically charged to full-time students.

This year, the MSC health clinic is expecting to see a 15-percent inaease to student health care needs. The additional $50,000 is needed to accomodate this inaease, Veatcli

:

said

Presently, four nurse practitioners, one triage nurse, one part-time physician and an assistant are not enough personnel to see the 20,000 students expected in the clinic this year, Veatch said The objective is to have a full-time physician and asmstant on staff. A clerk/typist is also needed Another goal is to hire a parttime obstetri~/gynecological physician to accommodate the expanding health care needs of women. The clinic also sees a great deal of dermatological cases that would better be assisted by a part-time dermatologist.

Veatch explained that whether or not UCD joins MSC's clinic, he must do what must be done to accommodate the health care needs of MSC students.

Originally, UCO was looking to the Supplement Health Insurance Program (SHIP), a group from the Health Science Center, to help start a new full-scale health clinic in the Dravo building, which is next to the East Classroom. It would serve all UCD students and faculty.

"But at this point, 7 percent of our clientele are UCO students, so getting their own health clinic seems to be faltering," Veatch said.

He explained that UCO student visits are expected to increase 5 percent this year, which also must be considered in the budget planning.

Billi Mavromatis, assistant director of the MSC health clinic, explained that MSC students can see a nurse or physician for free but must pay for lab tests and medication.

Both MSC and UCO faculty pay for their appointments with the physician. Once UCD students pay $40 a semester in appointments, they have the same standing as MSC students.

Marvomatis said if UCO did decide to buy into the MSC health clinic, the current facility would be too small for both institutions' student case loads.

"If we could get back the four exam rooms the book store took when it expanded, then the current facility would be big enough," Mavromatis said.

The MSC health clinic is in the Student Center, Room 140,just west of the Auraria Book Center. The clinic hours have been extended to include MSC night school students. Starting in March, the clinic will be open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Monday and Tuesday, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Wednesday and from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Thursday and Friday. For an appointment, call 0 556-2525.

Forecasters don't know what to expect for Friday's weather, but one thing is certain: it's going to be hot in the Auraria gym.

From 4 to 7 p.m. Friday, March 4, stepping il)to the gym will be like stepping into another climate. It will be warm. People will wear swimsuits, Hawaiian shirts, sunglasses, perhaps even bikinis. They will look tan. They will play volleyball, badminton and miniature golf.

The scent of suntan oil will drift through the room.

It may not seem real, but the sand, sun lamps, swimming pools and lifeguard chairs won't be mirages.

the National League, Andre Dawson; the second-best pitcher, Rick Sutcliffe; a great reliever, Lee Smith (can you believe they traded him?); and one of the best secondbasemen ever, Ryne Sandberg. And they still finished something like l 00 games out of first place.

Who can forget 1984, when the Cubs almost went to the World Series? I know a lot of us would like to forget They were leading two games to none in the playoffs and dropped the next three in San Diego.

In 1986 in the first week of August, I saw the Cubs at Wrigley Field against the New York Mets. They still had a shot at the Pennant then, but the Mets were on a streak.

The Cubbies won that day, but lost the rest of the series. Still, it was great just to be at Wrigley. It's a landmark - a tradition. Hot dogs, beer and "Take Me out to the Ball Game."

This whole "lights in Wrigley" thing has got me miffed. At least they are only playing a few games at night I guess that's okay.

But I haven't even been skiing this year. I still have the snow tires on my car. Our neighbors still have their Christmas lights up (they don't turn them on, at least). And here we are supposed to get ready for baseball.

It's gonna take a while. I'll be glad to get off the basketball court, though, so I can show the other guys on the team what a real sport is. Hey, has anybody seen my mitt? o

Baseball already?

Winter's not over Eric Mees

Assistant Editor

About a month ago, Denver and the rest of the world watched the Broncos choke in the Super Bowl. The NBA is only about halfway through its season. There are still a couple of million hockey games left before the Stanley Cup. The Winter Olympics have just ended. (Did I miss any?)

And, while my back was turned, baseball season started. Yep, I walked past the Auraria baseball field Feb. 26 and, lo and behold, the MSC Roadrunners were playing the University of Denver. Metro won both games of the double-header, 9-4and11-1.

Even in the Rocky Mountain News, baseball is starting to eat up more and more of its sports section. Sure, the news is like, "The Texas Rangers purchased new team uniforms this season ...," but still ....

Don't get me wrong, I've always loved baseball, ever since I was a kid growing up in Ohio. Some of my fondest memories (doesn't that sound maudlin) are of sittin' on the

stoop tradin' baseball cards with my best friend. They're worth a couple of hundred dollars now, but I wouldn't sell them.

Two or three times every summer, we'd load up the whole family and drive an hour and a half to Riverfront Stadium to see the Reds. The Big Red Machine, they used to call them. I've still got the baseball Johnny Bench autographed for me.

And a bunch of us kids in the neighborhood would get together and play stickball and pretend we were Tony Perez and Pete Rose. As we got older and a little more coordinated, we all started playing on Little League teams. We always thought we were better than we really were.

I played baseball because, as a kid, I had asthma and it was about the only sport I could play without dying. Just this year, I started playing basketball, and I'll be damned if that's not a lot of exercise. I know I'm terrible, but hey, I enjoy public humiliation.

I played baseball for five years and then switched over to softball. That's because the ball was easier to hit and it's coed. And, as I

Copy4¢ Copy4¢ Copy4¢ Copy4¢ Copy4¢ Copy4¢ Copy4¢

found out shortly after I started, it's a good excuse to drink beer. You don't see guys takin' swigs of Bud Lite between freethrows, do you? (If so, could you tell me what league that is ...?)

Baseball is known as the great American pastime. Why is that? Probably because it has been around for such a long time and has changed little. It's a tradition. Y'don't see a bunch of guys sittin' around talking about the great opera on PBS. Back to public humiliation. I love the Chicago Cubs. To me, they are the kind of team that epitomiz.es the tradition ofbaseball I guess it's that old "root for the underdog" at work. Last year, the Cubs had the MVP in

-----OP-ED---... BUT WE STILL HJ\VE TO VOTE

ON HOW MUCH DEEPER TO GO.

Class-dropping can be harmful to your wallet

L

J

I received a letter from Metro the other day, which always scares me because I immediately wonder if I did something wrong or if I owe more money.

Well, this time I owe more money.

It's not that I mind paying my college expenses. but this particular charge really gets me going.

The drop fee. Yuck, those words make me cringe.

Charging students $10 per credit hour to drop a class is outrageous. Even if you -were to drop only one three-hour class, that's a quick $30.

I don't know about you, but I could do a lot with $30.

But no, I have to write out another check to Metro because, during the first week of the semester, I dropped a class.

But that's not even the point. The point is, where is all that money going? Do they use it to hire more teachers? Or maybe they use it to keep tuition costs (which have increased an astounding 84 percent in the last seven years) from rising beyond our means?

Tuition, excluding fees and insurance, was $555 this semester. The $30 drop fee raised it to $585. The college has got to be making some serious money on this, yet it still asks for more.

Metro has asked for a 5-percent increase in tuition for next year. It shouldn't have to raise tuition at all by the time it collects all the drop fees.

According to Helen Fleming in Metro's Business Office, students were assessed $80,000 in drop fees for spring 1987 and fall 1988. Eighty thousand dollars!!

Not only does Metro collect $80,000 worth of drop fees, it counts on the money, adding it to the yearly operating budget.

Most students have no idea that the drop fee exists, which according to Admissions and Records is the biggest complaint about the fee.

But the good news is that students can appeal the fee. The bad news is that the fee probably won't be dropped unless the student has a hardship such as illness, a death in the family or an employment conflict.

Let's face it, it's not so rare that we take a class in which we do more sleeping than learning. We're paying for college, we should have the right to drop a class withollt paying such stiff penalties.

The reasoning behind the fee isn't bad.

Administrators say they want to deter students from signing up for classes they don't intend to take, thereby closing them to others.

Come on, we need a day or two to decide whether

Club organizing campus defense To the Editor: With regards to your letter in the Feb. 26 issue of The Metropolitan, the Auraria Taekwondo Club is holding the next Self-Defense Seminar on campus, not Public Safety. Both organizations offer seminars occasionally, as do police departments such as Denver PD and Aurora PD. We all offer slightly different perspectives on the subject, and most seminars can be true learning experiences. As stated,

our next seminar will be on March 12, from 11 :00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., in PE 104W. Although you were writing about Public Safety, I also believe that students should " use (our) expertise in helping make the campus safer."

K.J. "Rusty" Stell Student Advisor Aurarla Taekwondo Club

Writer criticizes, applauds safety effort To the Editor: Auraria Public Safety appreciated the recognition from The Metropolitan as being hard working and deeply concerned about the safety of the Auraria community. We are. We are not alone in these efforts. I would like to take this opportunity to clear up some misconceptions that were reported in the Feb. 26 issue of The Metropolitan.

Judith Henrickson reported that Public Safety had spent money from our budget to improve campus lighting. These funds actually came from the Auraria Physical Plant budget. In my presentation to CCD, MSC and UCO student governments I said we received "a hundred" requests for crime prevention/safety presentations and security surveys yearly, not "800."

In Shirley Bonner's article about self-defense seminars on campus it was reported that Public Safety has held a total of three such seminars.

Actually, we held three in one week (fall of '85). We hold personal safety seminars on a continual basis, upon request of a sponsoring organization or group.

We were not involved in the self-defense seminar ottered Feb. 12.

Finally, while we appreciate Robert Ritter's staunch defense of Public Safety's efforts toward community involvement in campus safety issues, he erred in crediting us with sponsoring the Auraria Evening Express (the free night time shuttle). Public Safety is a strong and vocal supporter of this valuable service.

The Auraria Parking Office provides the funding and operates the shuttle.

Safety on the campus is a community-wide concern requiring community-wide efforts to achieve. We applaud the efforts of Auraria students, faculty and staff who are involved in improving safety on campus. We particularly thank the Auraria Parking Office and Physical Plant, student governments, clubs and newspapers as well as the campus Women's Centers who have made extra efforts to be involved in campus safety.

Thank you for your continual effort to accurately report the happenings on campus and this opportunity to share the credit for campus safety efforts with those who richly deserve it.

David V. Rivera, Director of Aurarla Public Safety

or not the class is going to be worth our hard-earned tuition money, and we shouldn't be threatened with a $30 penalty.

There must be a more viable alternative to the $1 O .an hour fee. For example, how about a lower fee coupled with a one-week grace period? It would still deter students from registering for too many classes and would allow those on wait lists to be absorbed into a class within a reasonable time.

As it is right now, I'll probably graduate before they come up with a solution. And until I graduate, I'll be darn sure that I'll be able to stay in a class before I register. Thirty bucks. I could go out to dinner with my husband ...

Parking problelll?

There is much more to the college experience than learning, like the hassles that come with a commuter campus, not the least of which is trying to find a parking space within a three-mile radius of Auraria.

Construction will begin this summer on the Auraria Parkway, making it even more difficult to locate that shrinking campus commodity - a parking space.

The Metropolitan set out to find student reaction to the increasing parking problem, and the results speak for themselves.

Students at Auraria have been accused of being apathetic toward campus issues.

Unfortunately, it seems that on this issue, it is true.

member Joe Navarro on the publication of his first book of poetry.

"The poetry we read has a lot to do with our experience," Navarro said. "We just want to be able to read at different kinds of events." Formed in June 1987, the coalition offers Chicano and African-American perspectives and attempts to provide insight into issues and concerns unique to their cultures.

Jeannette Martinez, president of the event's primary sponsor, El Movimiento &tudiantil Chicano De Aztlan (MECbA), introduced the speakers. MECbA is a student-Chicano organization serving MSC, the University of Colorado at Denver and Community College of Denver students.

Navarro prefaced his reading by explaining his book's title, Reflections of an Aztlaneco.

"Aztlan," Navarro said, "is the name the Aztec Indians of Mexico gave to the land to their north." An Aztlaneco is an inhabitant of that land.

Navarro's first poem gave a powerful assertion of Aztlan identity.

"I come," Navarro read, "from a great civifu.ation, a people who knew what day it was while the rest of the world did not" Both Navarro and Ramon Del Castillo, part-time Metro instructor, address the current movement to declare English the official language of Colorado.

"You refuse to assimilate," Navarro read, "You refuse to give up your identity and language."

The audience laughed openly at Dr. Irene Blea's description of a likable and hardliving woman of questionable virtue in the poem "Ramona." Blea, an MSC professor, took a child's view of the Catholic ritual in "Remember Lent."

"My stomach would growl," Blea read, "and I knew Jesus heard it" Fernay Bing read of a child's struggle to deal with the confusion and pain of a father's sexual abuse in "Daddy's Pearl."

Dr. Jodi Wetzel is only half joking when she grins and says, "You can't come into my office without me trying to recruit you into doing something." Recruiting is one of the ~ she does best as director of the MSC Institute for Women's Studies and Services.

The institute, housed at 1033 Ninth St., was created in 1985 to merge the previously separate Women's Center and the academic area of women's studies. Wetzel, most ,; recently from the University of Maine, took over as director in the summer of 1986 and says she is pleased at the progress that has been made.

"When I came here, there were only eight contract major/minors," she says. ''Now , there at 54, and enrollment is up 66 percent" A women's studies contract major is comtructed through the institute and Adult Learning Services in order to effectively combine women's studies courses with other disciplines. ~ The courses range from an analysis of women's achievements and cultural definitions of "woman" to the study of women's emerging personal/professional growth opportunities. Students are encouraged to integrate other appropriate coursework to fit their individual needs.

1 A greater interest in women's studies by younger women as well as women returning to ·school - is only part of the reason for the higher enrollment, according to Wetzel. Cross-listed classes (ones in

which students may get credit in one of two departments), curriculum development and increased visibility of the services programs have all played a part. Wetzel actively solicited the cross-listed classes because they increase potential enrollment for any department involved.

"These types of classes give both departments a chance to offer a course that probably would not have had enough students enrolled if offered only through one department," she says.

Women's studies courses are currently cross-listed with thecriminaljustice, English, sociology, anthropology and history departments. There are tentative plans to add art, journalism, philosophy and intercultural studies by this fall.

Efforts to increase services for women students has also been a top priority for Wetzel. The services component of the institute provides a support system for women through advising, resource referral, support groups and information referral for both onand off- campus services.

Shirley Sims, coordinator of women's services, sees the services aspect as an actionorien ted entity that complements the academic area.

"We attempt to make real what has been studied, researched, and written," she says.

"We want to empower the students, particularly women, to take full control of their lives."

Wetzel has initiated several projects she hopes will further the objectives of the institute. One of those, the Denver Area

)

Teaching and Research Colloquium on Women, brings together students and faculty from at least seven different area colleges monthly to discuss research and prof~ional development.

Long range plans include the formation of a "Friend of the Institute," a group of former alumnae, students, faculty and staff, to provide a support network. Wetzel says they are in the proces.5 of planning a special awards ceremony in May to honor an outstanding alumna, faculty member, current student and staff member who has achieved prominence. Nominations for the award must be received at the institute by April 15.

. ::::<·::-: . :·

Wetzel is co-director of a workshop planned for this spring to help faculty integrate content on women and minorities across the curriculum. She says she hopes to continue to build on the curriculum in the future and plans to maintain a careful assessment of women's studies programs across the country.

"Women's studies is a very young discipline. It's important to stay current on changes and developments," she says. "We also provide a service through the academic part as a whole in terms of expertise people can use as an information resource. It's a very important function of our institute." D

Students deserving of college spotlight Kim Halverson Reporter

George Becker believes that colleges and universities need to serve and educate students.

"All too often they become institutions to serve faculty or administrators instead of serving the students first," he said.

In his 22 years of teaching at MSC, the biology department chairman said he has learned a great deal of patience, discipline

and sympathy.

"I'm a strong people-centered person, a people-centered administrator and a studentcentered teacher," he said.

Becker is tall, marked with dignity and style, soft-spoken with the occasional flair of a rebel.

"The gray suit serves as my conformity; the belt buckle is my rebellion," he said. The belt buckle is huge and has a real silver rifle bullet on it, symbolizing his love for hunting.

MSC biology department chair George Becker

stry from the University of Minnesota and a master's and doctorate in entomology from the University of Wisconsin.

He explained that he loved forestry and wasn't satisfied with just a bachelor's degree, so he decided to specialize in entomology, a branch of zoology dealing with insects, and get a doctorate.

In 1966, Becker and his family moved to Colorado, and he began teaching in the biology department. After 22 years, his enthusiasm for teaching and advising is still apparent.

"I believe strongly in undergraduate education, and one of the reasons Metro has been so successful is because of its quality undergraduate programs," Becker said.

An example of that quality is the biology department's successful self-paced program.

Self-paced courses provide video and print materials, student/instructor monitors and testing to allow a flexible schedule.

In 1986, the department received $4,000 from a Professional Development Grant to aid in the expansion of the self-paced program, which is operating beyond enrollment capacity. This year, general fund money will allocate $22,000, which is needed for a new

facility to accommodate this expansion.

The over-enrollment is the result of the program's individualized instruction, which has attracted many non-majors.

"We have been very aggressive in moving ~ into the non-majors field," Becker said.

Becker is concerned for all students. He said that schools that offer both undergraduate and graduate programs focus too much on the graduate students.

"Look at CU in Boulder. They don't givet a damn about undergraduates - all they're interested in is the graduate students. That's why Metro is so successful - we concentrate on training and educating all the undergraduate students.

"I personally feel that in the better depart- -.. ments at MSC, the undergraduates are getting as good as or better training than anywhere else in the world," Becker said.

We do as good a job of educating students as any other college and university."

And Becker said he thinks there is too much emphasis put on turning MSC into · another CU. He said ifan undergraduate at CU-Boulder wanted to sit down witq a faculty member to ask questions or get counseling, that faculty member would not waste his or her time talking to the undergraduate.

Becker feels MSC's key to success lies in the direct educational contact students can get with qualified classroom professors. The professor can work one-on-one, and get to know the student and share his expertise.

"And that is virtually unheard of at any university," Becker said.

"That's the secret to success at Metro direct profes.5ional, educatiollal, academic interchange between students and professors." o

Grosz dreams of diverse opportunities L.A. Raider or game-warden?

Kristin Hager Reporter

'

Next year, MSC basketball's star power forward Rich Grosz will watch from the stands. But fans may still watch him play, «not on the court, but on the field at Mile High Stadium.

MSC fans will certairily ~the vivacious· player, who bas played a total of 3,018 minutes on the court and scored 1,141 points during bis four-year career at Metro. .... His talent bas also not been lost on coach Bob Hull, who started Grosz in 89ofbis101 games.

Grosz, bolder of 13 MSC records, will also ~ the time spent on the court.

"It's gonna hurt a little bit It'll hurt," be . said. "But I'll find some way to keep busy." ' And, as Grosz is not a man of small dreams, fans may be surprised by bis latest idea for "filling up the time" he would normally use for the basketball team, namely a posgble try-out for the Denver Broncos as tight end .... But for Grosz, the decision is natural.

"Football's always been my number one sport. It's football, one, basketball, two. My weightlifting coach bas a couple -0f connections with the NFL, and rve been toying with the idea oftrying out," be said. "But I'm trying to keep· it out of my mind until the : (basketball) season is over."

Grosz played football for Evergreen High School, but hasn't played at all in college. He isn't too worried, though.

"It's just a matter of getting in shape and i hoping the cards fall right," be said. "It certainly can't hurt; the worst they can do is say 'no.' And ifl got on, it'd be awfully good money for a few years."

However, the Broncos would not be bis first choice - in fact, it would be closer to bis last. And it's not because of the Super Bowl. "rm a Raiders fan, which isn't too popular here. I grew up a 49ers fan, but switched to the Raiders about eight years ago. That doesn't impr~ Denverites; but you know, I've never liked the Broncos," Grosz said. ' "My girlfriend made me wear one of those orange shirts to a Super Bowl party this year. A friend of mine and I - both Raiders at heart - sat in the comer sulking in our orange getups and silently cheered the 'Skins." ., But, the NFL is the NFL, and Grosz said be would play for anyone, even John Elway's boys, if given the chance. And

though he would have to put bis last year of school on bold, Grosz thinks it would be worth it.

"If I did get an offer and a job from a · team, I know it wouldn't be for too awfullv long. People don't usually last for more than five or six years in prof~ional football, uni~ they are kickers. The game takes a real toll on the body. So afterwards, I could return to school and get on with my life," he said.

And Grosz's get-up-and-go attitude toward sports also applies to bis career goal as a game warden for either state or federal game parks.

"I've known since I was five or six what I wanted to do. Both my parents have worked

MSC center Rich Grosz

as wardens. When I was young, my dad was a state game warden for California, and I went along with him often," he said. " I can't imagine being anything else. I love the outdoors, and I think this is a very valid and rewarding career choice."

Grosz is a biology and criminal justice major at Metro, a five-year program because of the double major. After graduating with two bachelor's degrees, he wants to go on to Humbolt State for bis master's.

"It's a highly competitive field The federal government isn't even hiring right now. But when a job opening comes along, an average of 100 people apply. I know a lot of people with Pb.D.s that aren't working right now," be said.

Although the competition is fierce, Grosz thinks he can make it.

"I don't think I need a Ph.D. I've worked for the past few summers on reserves and have a good reputation for myself. Also, my dad iS the head of the Northwest Division right now, and I think ifl can just get my foot in the door, my own experience and knowledge can speak for itself after that," be said.

Grosz spent last summer in northeast Montana at the Charles Marion Russell National Reserve, which stocks elk, deer, bear, antelope and bobcats. Although be loved the experience and enjoys working on reserves, be would prefer to enter the law enforcement end of warden life.

"The federal laws which govern the animal world are just as complex, just as important, as those laws which govern the human world. I want to be part of the force that protects these laws and animals," Grosz said. He has aided in several arrests through work with bis father in cases of poaching and other offenses.

But, ultimately, Grosz said the biggest driving force be bas bad in pursuing this career bas been bis love of the outdoors.

"I've done everything from big-game hunting to fly-fishing and tomahawk throwing. I love it. I think if I bad to be tied to a desk, I'd go out of my mind," he said.

After watching him fly around a basketball court, it's bard to picture Grosz tied down to anything. o

Promising recruits arejunior Dave Gudridge and freshman Rusty Befus.

Berge led Division II in batting averages last year with a .487.

"What I want from him is just for him not to press and (to) hit the ball well. I think he can hit .400 without much trouble," coach Bill Helman said.

Miller batted .404 last year and Vessey .361. They both play in the outfield with Miller switching to center field this year and

"They both have strong arms and are complete players," Helman said.

Capolungo returns to shortstop.

"He's a good lead-off hitter. He's fast and has a good arm. He's a good defensive player," Helman said.

At catcher, the Roadrunners feature Gudridge, a transfer student from Otero Junior College in La Junta. Helman said Gudridge is good behind the plate and has a good throw to second base to stop the steal.

Third baseman Befus is a freshman from Longmont.

Helman said, "Not many freshman can come in and start right away- and excel right away. We needed a strong replacement for Doug Montgomery, who graduated.

Rusty's held up his end real well."

The MSC baseball team opened the 1988 season with a pair of victories against University of Denver Feb. 26, marking coach Bill Helman's 200th win in his 10year career at Metro.

Before a mixed crowd of students, children and businessmen, the Roadrunners capitalized on strong hitting and pitching plus an error-prone Pioneer defense.

"This win is an indication that our program is just getting better. It probably wouldn't have meant anything except that we entered the year at 199 (wins) and our sports information director kept reminding me that at the first game we could get number 200," Helman said. "It was a little thrilling because they made a point of it. And I was aware, but it's more of an indication that we've worked hard to build a good program."

Freshman third baseman, Rusty Befus from Longmont, led the Roadrunners with three home runs and nine RBis in the first doubleheader of the year.

The Pioneers were only in the game through the fourth inning when they scored three of their four runs to pull within two runs at 5-3.

After that, the Roadrunners dominated

for a 9-4 win. Befus hit a double and a single for three RBis. ' The second game of the doubleheader was an 11-1 blowout, with the Roadrunners hitting well and capitalizing against the sleepy Pioneers. Befus hit three home runs for six RBis. MSC also met the Air Force Falcons last weekend and split that doubleheader 9-8 and 3-11.

"We lost the second Air Force game on errors," Helman said.

Starting pitcher Anthony Cortez gave up only three hits against the Falcom, but backto-back errors killed MSC against the strong Air Force offense.

In the third inning, second baseman Tom Pletzke errored on a hard hit Shortstop Angelo Capolungo followed by allowing the next hit to go through his legs. The Falcons scored eight runs in the inning, but only one was earned.

The Roadrunners host Colorado College March 5 for a doubleheader starting at noon.

Roadrunners' last grasp for crown fails Robert Ritter Associate Editor

For the second year in a row, the MSC men's basketball team finished its season with a losing road trip.

• Also for the second year, the Roadrunners finished the season at 5-5 in the Great Northwest Conference (GNC) and 16-12 <;>verall.

But the I~ hurt worse this year because they knocked the Roadrunners out of the _,. chase for the league crown.

"When you look back on the year, there were a couple of more games we could have won and didn't," senior center Rich Grosz said. "That's what really hurts 'cause we didn't go postseason."

The Roadrunners had to win all three of their last games to clinch a tie for the crown, but fell 81-70 to Eastern Montana on the road Feb. 19.

On Feb. 26 they beat the University of Seattle Pacific 84-72 to stay within a game of league-leader University of AlaskaAnchorage.

But an 80-75 loss the next night to the University of Puget Sound crushed the Roadrunners' hopes of the crown and left them all alone in third place of the GNC. Alaska-Anchorage took the conference .. . title with a 7-3 record, while Puget Sound was second at 6-4. Three teams tied for fourth with 4-6 records.

The Roadrunners won four of five conference home games but only won one of five on the road. And, according to Grosz, 1 that's not the way to win the GNC.

"You can win on the road in this conference, it's just extremely tough. The way to win it is to win all your games at home and split your road games," he said.

But Grosz hopes future Metro teams can reverse this late-season losing trend.

"Metro has a history of losing its last game of the season. But maybe next year they'll win the last game. And then the year after that win two in a row and so on," he said.

Grosz, Metro's all-time leading scorer with 1,248 points in his four years, put the

final polish on his sterling silver career with a personal best of 28 points against Seattle Pacific.

"No one likes to lose, but that was kind of a nice way to go out," he said Grosz finished the year leading the team in several of key categories. He was tops with a 14.3 points per game average and 9 .5 rebounding average.

Coach Bob Hull also got a good look at Metro's future as a couple of the younger players made noteworthy contnbutions this season.

Sophomore Shun Tillman scored 10.6 points a game and blocked a league-record 56 shots. And freshman Derrick Fuller dished out a team-record 167 assists while scoring 7.4 points a game.

And even though he has to retire his powerful inside game, Grosz said Metro's future looks bright.

"The next couple of years will be exciting to watch," he said. ''Those guys have the potential and when they get it together, then Katie bar the door." o

Ladies softball: diamond in the rough David Konrad Reporter

MSC women's softball team coach Jan Tamblin said her team would be well-armed for the 1988 season and after one weekend of play, she may be right.

Metro split four games with Adams State College over the weekend, but Tamblin used three pitchers during the series - exactly one more pitcher than was used all last year.

Metro won the first game of the weekend 7-5 behind the strong arm ofBrenda Losinski, whose pitching gave up eight hits. Losinski was the Roadrunners' best pitcher last year with a 5-18 record.

The women dropped the second game 5-4 with Leslie Durant on the mound. The next day, Losinski pitched again as Metro

blew out Adams State 13-3 behind 18 hits, including three RBis from shortstop Nancy Kogle.

In the final game, Kogle moved from shortstop to the mound, but took the 8-3 loss despite hitting her fourth triple of the series.

Still, Tamblin hopes her pitching staff, in numbers alone, will help improve on last season's 6-28 record.

"We have five pitchers this year (as) opposed to one or two last year," she said.

"We have a ton of games this season and it's a good thing we have all those pitchers."

The Roadrunners will play 50 games in the next two months, including four games at the end of the season in the Kearney State (Neb.) Tournament But Tamblin boasts of more than just strong pitching.

"I think we have a strong infield defensively. We have a team of infielders that are all good athletes."

Her biggest concern right now is the team's lack of outdoor practice. The first outdoor practice wasn't until Feb. 24, but the women spent their time in the gym wisely.

"We have been working a lot on hitting in the gym. Hitting is looking good," Tamblin said.

Tamblin is in her first season at Metro after spending five years as the head coach of the women's volleyball and softball teams at St. Mary's College in California.

And she said she's looking forward to a productive freshman season.

"The girls have a good attitude and want to win," she said. ' o
