The presentation of"Women ... The Next Step" didn't evolve much past "Women ...

Tuesday Afternoon." The mood in the room changed from cheerful anticipation to tension and indignation as Lhasha Tizer attempted to explain her view at the March 8 presentation of what being a woma.Ii means.

Tizer, obviously frustrated by the audience response, which she called selective hearing, strode forcefully toward the oak doors in Room 330 of the Student Center to drive home her point. She slammed her petite body against the doors, holding herself rigid,

arms raised upward and body tense as she tried to demonstrate the limits of what she calls external definitions.

An external definition, as Tizer explained, is when a woman defines who she is by what is around her - a career, a relationship -rather than defining herself from within.

"Of course women are defined by external means and shaped by those influences, but those external definitions are not a natural orientation ofknowing ourselves as women," she said. "A woman's way of knowing herself is very internal, because what defines us as women are our reproductive organs, which are internal. Men tend to be more

Two Auraria students struck it rich this semester, filling their backpacks with free textbooks thanks to the Auraria Book Center (ABC).

For the last two and a half years, ABC has sponsored a contest during book buy-back week. This spring was the first time there were two winners and ABC is hoping that will continue.

The second winner was pos.5ible because the Nebraska Book Co. picked up half the book costs.

"They made the donation for the same reason that we ran the contest, to encourage more students to sell back their books and to thank our customers for their business," said Mary Reichenberg, ABC marketing coordinator.

The Nebraska Book Co. is a wholesale company that buys used books and sells them at schools across the country.

The students entered the contest by filling out an entry blank when they sold back their books. Their names were drawn and the lucky winners received notification of their newfound booty.

"I was thrilled! I struck it big during the right semester. I've never had so many books to buy. With the money I saved, I was able to get ahead on my bills," said Russ Gabriel, a senior MSC psychology major.

With 18 credit hours worth of classes, Gabriel's bill came to $213. CU-Denver student Katherine Davis was the other winner; her bill totaled $147. Davis was unavailable for comment.

Gabriel said the first time he ever heard about the contest was when he picked up his entry blank last semester.

"I sold my books back and didn't get as 路 much money back as I was hoping for, so I decided to enter the contest. This more than makes up for it. rve never entered a contest before," he said.

The winners provided the Book Center with their registration printouts and were assisted in finding their books. ABC paid for the books so the winners路 wouldn't have to wait for a reimbursement check.

"I couldn't believe how helpful everyone in the Book Center was. I really want to thank them for being so nice. I was expecting them to act like they didn't want to give the books away," Gabriel said Students wishing to try their luck can get an entry blank during finals week at the book buy-back. o

------NEWS---Pena speaks at Chicano conference

Minorities need to solve own problems ·

M1yor Ftd•lco P1n1 1pok1 11 th• M1rch 5 Cllondo Stltewld1 Chicane Slullllll ConftnllCI It AunrlL .

Mlryam Wiiey Reporter

Chicanos, Latinos and Hispanics have to quit looking to others to solve their problems, Denver Mayor Federico

Pena told a group of about 80 at the Colorado Statewide Chicano Student Conference on the Auraria campus March 5.

Unemployment and the student drop-out rates among Hispanics are alarming, and a way must be found to reverse that, Pena said "We have got to realize that we have to accept responsibility for those challenges and do something about it," be said. "Nobody else is going to do it for us."

Pena was one of the speakers at the two-day conference, which gathered students of Latin and Mexican origin from Colorado schools and organiz.ations. The group discussed the issues involved in broadening the educational opportunities for Latino and Chicano students.

The conference, which included three cultural.

presentations and 10 workshops, was co-hosted by MSC, MECbA (Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan) organizations from MSC and Community College of Denver, MSC's student senate and the Colorado Statewide Chicano Student Network.

Dr. Antonio Esquibel, MSC vice-president of Student Affairs, welcomed students with a speech in both Spaiiish and English. Esquibel said he did it to show the languages . as complementary forms of speech, not as a translation of each other, as he had once seen done by Hector Garcia, the founder of one of the oldest Hispanic organizations in America.

"I do this for two reasons," Esquibel said. "First, because of the beauty of the Spanish language and second, in defiance of the English-only movement."

The English-only movement is an effort to make English the official language of the United States. It started in Colorado after Rep. Barbara Phillips, RColorado Sprin~, introduced a bill proposing English as the official language of the state. The bill bas passed in 17 states, but still awaits action in Colorado. ' Esquibel said be bas preached of the devastating results a movement such as this may have in terms of self-image for children who are born to parents of non-Anglo origin.

He read an ~Y by a 13-year-old Mexican girl, who expressed her frustrations for not being American. The ~y was published in the book The Invisible Minority.

"If it weren't for my nationality, I could accomplish more," she wrote. "Many people have tried to tell me that I'm a leader but I don't believe that."

From reading the ~y. one might think this is a child with problems, Esquibel said. But she was an honor student, a member of the band, popular among her peers, articulate and attractive.

Esquibel urged students to be proud of their culture and to expand the educational oportunities for Latino and Chicano students through their state networks.

After Esqwbel's presentation, Ramon Del Castillo, a part-time sociology professor at MSC, presented some of his poetry, which addressed such issues as the Englishonly movement anp discrimination against Chicanos.

The recital kept students clapping and laughing as he, too, mixed Spanish and English.

Del Castillo said Chicanos are not bilingual, but trilingual, since they can speak a language that is a mixture of English and Spanish known as Spanglish, which one of his poems deals with: "Don't take away my Spanglish, it will give me anguish.

Don't take away my Spanish, it won't make me vanish."

A musical presentation by Hill Middle School children singing Mexican son~ followed Del Castillo's poetry.

Then Joe Navarro, a former president of the MSC chapter of MECbA, spoke.

"There's a reason for mixing speeches and cultural presentations," Navarro said. "Sometimes you can teach people a lot more with a cultural presentation."

Navarro presented figures shQwing that 36 percent of pupils attending Denver Public Schools are Chicano and Latino children, while only 10 percent of the teachers are Latinos. But Latinos represent 45 percent of building maintenance people, he said.

"What is the m~e we are giving our children about what we can be?" Navarro asked.

He said he hoped the conference would be more than just another academic exercise. He urged students to become aware of the discrimination against Chicanos and take a stand about education to help future generations.

• ''You tum on the TV set and the image of Chicanos, for the most part, is some guy who's made to look very sleazy, like he just got done eating pork chops and has grease all over his face," Navarro said.

Pena said that Americans will have to make an effort to understand other cultures and other languages to protect the United States' economic interests.

"If we are going to compete internationally, we are going to have to understand the languages of others, and that's why we should not be for the English-only movement," Pena said. "We should be for the Englishplus movement." o

Wirth becomes teacher for an hour at MSC Jane Cohlmle Assistant Editor

..

r

Tim Wirth may be an important senator when he's in Washington, but for the hour he spoke to a high school Upward Bound class, be was once again a teacher.

U.S. Sen. Wirth, D.colo., walked between rows of neatly placed desks and even made a few trips to the blackboard during an informal question and answer talk on campus March 8.

The students are part of a federallyfunded recruitment program that encourages kids to go on to college after graduation.

Through Upward Bound, students experience a college atmosphere by taking classes on campus in such things as English and reading.

From the moment he walked in the door, the former teacher made the students work for the information he would provide them.

"Does anybody know what a senator does?" he asked.

When he was satisfied with the answer, he went on, "In Washington, there are many people with many different viewpoints" and a senator's job is to-bring those viewpoints together.

And like any good teacher, Wirth made the class laugh.

To one student with particularly unusual hair, he asked, "How did you get your hair like that? Do you think I could get mine to do that, too?"

He asked the students for their questions

on education, and they came armed.

One student asked, "Why would they (government) want to take money away from education?"

Wirth, a Democrat who opposes the

amount of money spent on defense by the Reagan administration, smiled.

"Okay, that's a good question. Let's pretend we have a mean Republican over here," he said, pointing at one unwitting student. 'Why would you want to take money from education?"

"To put it in SDI (Reagan's so-called Star Wars program)," the student retorted.

"That's right," Wirth answered. He then likened a country building up its defense to a child building a snow fort.

"You think the more snow you have on your fort, the safer you are," Wirth said.

But in reality you may become less safe because you have too much power and you can destroy everything, he said.

Wirth stressed to the class the importance of education, saying the better educated one is, the brighter his or her future is likely to be.

Wirth said he has always been impressed with the Upward Bound program and will continue to seek additional funds for it.

"I think this program does great things; it's very important. The Reagan administration is always trying to cut its funding."

But he said it is a worthwhile program for which he hopes funding will increase in the future. o

extemally oriented because of their psychological makeup and define themselves in terms of that."

'Wzer, a holistic health counselor and women's workshop facilitator in Boulder, said she sees many women who stake their identities on things that are external and therefore transient and have nothing to rely on when those things are gone. After years of studying women's histories and other cultures, she saw the value of women supporting each other and believes American females have. lost something- in the oourse of the changes wrought by the women's movement.

Tizer believes that in the modern world women are losing a deeper sense of themselves and an ability to bond with each other. She says returning to the heritage of a stronger connection among women would help their femininity and therefore their power.

Although Tizer said she doesn't label herself a feminist, she was very active in the women's movement when it began in the '60s and continues to be active. But she said what was borne out of a need for women to express themselves happened so fast that women are left with the opportunity it has provided but a l~ of inherent qualities.

"In the rush of the movement, women have devalued the things that we should be proud of," she said. "There's an emptiness connected to it now; if we lose touch with what we have to give - love, caring, patience and yielding, among others - our lives ring hollow and meaningless. We need to preserve the good the women's movement has given us, retain the qualities we have in terms of being women and adapt it to today's world." · Although Tizer stated several times that different doesn't mean less valuable, the audience reacted angrily when she said that men's and women's respective traits predominate depending on gender. She further explained that problems develop for women when they try to imitate men in terms of an external orientation.

"When we imitate them, we undermine what we have. We are able to do the same things, but if we look only to a career or any other external way of defining ourselves, we lose the feeling of being women and what that means," she said.

As the women in the room continued to struggle with her concepts of equality, Tizer said that nature provides an excellent lesson from which to learn. ."Nature is not equal; everything has its role and function, and we don't have to be "t" alike to be valued," she said. Tizer spread her arms wide like a caress to the sky as she described the strength and usefulness of the mountains. She brought her arms downward in a fluid circular motion to illustrate the contrast of the lake at the bottom of the mountains and its function in the ecosystem to hold and receive and the beauty of its stillness.

Several people said they resented Tizer's remarks that women shouldn't strive to imitate men and said it was akin to society telling them what they could and couldn't do.

Tizer told them she understood the anger and oppression some of them felt, but pointed out that anger only leads to alienation.

A "An angry person can't be heard. Strength can be formed from any pain or oppression, but that type of strength can tum into hardness," she said. "Women can retain strength and solidity by developing those female qualities inside of us that can't be destroyed. Anger doesn't get us anywhere at • this point. Happiness doesn't come from anger, it comes from a fullness.

"The problem between men and women is that women want men to be like them and look to them for a commonality that, historically, has always existed between ~ women," she said. "Women don't fundamentally accept each other as true sisters and look to each other for support and understanding. We need to rediscover what had always been the common thread that bonds us together."

State representative says colleges will get less funding Kristin Hage·r Reporter

Although higher education is a priority in the state budget, colleges and universities will most likely be faced with less funding over the next fiscal year, said state Rep. Richard Bond in a speech at Auraria March

T

8.

"We're in a small kind of pickle this year," he said. "We got a lot of projects out last year, and now the state government's just about down to the bone. Right now, we're asking ourselves what we're going to do."

Bond, D-Greeley, serves on the Joint Budget Committee. In a speech at the Student Center, he said there is an extra $90 million available for 1989, but that the JBC has outlined projects totaling an excess of $125 million, all of which are "important programs for Colorado."

"What can we do? No one wants to raise taxes during an election year, even though we probably need to. We're in the process of going through the government, department by department, to find where our priorities lie."

Nonetheless, Bond said that higher education is important to the legislature, and specifically to him. Before entering politics, Bond was president of the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley.

"Higher education is fundamental to the economic development in this state. And Colorado's economy is not a strong point right now," he said.

One item before the legislature to

•• St111 Rep. Richard Bend 1xpl1ln1 the problem of low lflll lundlng tor lducall•.

encourage economic growth is the introduction of the Colorado Advanced Technological Institute to Denver. Its formation would bear a price tag of $9 million.

"We would like to develop high-tech interests in Colorado's higher education program to attract private dollars, which would spin off new businesses and jobs," Bond said.

This project, however, represents a large chunk of money at higher education. Last year, the Colorado Commission on Higher Education (CCHE) was given a $35 million increase to divvy up among the state's institutions. This year, Bond thinks the figure will drop to about $25 million.

"We're putting approximately $50 million toward (kindergarten through 12th grade) to develop new school financing programs, and we're figuring about $25 million for higher eel," he said.

However, about $9 million may be saved if state employee (classified staff) pay schedules and salaries are reorganiz.ed.

A mandated salary survey performed by the state is conducted annually to ensure that state employees' salaries are comparable to those in the private sector.

"Last year, we found that salaries for state employees exceeded, for the most part, those in the private sector, but the fringe benefits were lower than those in the private sector," Bond said. "I'd like to see salaries rearranged a bit to balance these figures- which would save about $9 million if we did it- and then put this savings into benefits for employees."

If implemented, 21,000 salaries would be lowered, and 5,000 salaries would be

increased. Employee benefits would also increase.

"A lot of people don't support my theory on this, but I think it's the best thing to do.

Health benefits would go up an average of $7 paid per person in this area."

Bond said any changes to the existing plan would have to come in the form of a bill to the state legislature.

But, he said changes are definitely necessary in many areas of higher education.

"We need to restructure programs to eliminate those that are not efficiently producing results and put money into programs that are working," he said. "But I think this needs to be taken up by each school in the form of a faculty board that reviews programs, rather than having money spent by the CCHE to look into specific school programs and make cuts where they see fit."

The CCHE currently reviews degree programs of various institutions in an attempt to cut inefficient use of monies.

Bond also said he sees negative trends in both higher education and the legislation thereof.

"Right now, I see an aspect of our society that really bothers me. Ten or 15 years ago, when there was quite a bit of money available to schools, we were concerned with both quality of institutions and accessibility to these schools by students in all financial cl~. Today, I definitely see a lack of access to college training by students in certain financial strains. And I see quality control of programs being handled in an illogical manner." o

Computer should save clubs money Victoria Fitzpatrick Reporter

· A new $7,700 IBM computer system with desktop publishing capabilities to be used by all student-fee funded programs can be purchased by the Associated Students of Metropolitan State College, the Student Affairs Board (SAB) decided at its March 7 meeting.

Although it is difficult to estimate the amount of money that will be saved with the desktop publishing system, the purchase ofa laser printer is expected to save man-hours

on programs' publishing needs, said Dan Becker, Financial Affairs Committee chair. · "I've "seen (two-page brochures) done on desktop publishing systems in 20 minutes where I imagine it'd take hours by hand," he said.

Student government members plan to use the system to publish faculty evaluations, promotional materials and newsletters.

The purchase should save other student programs money because they will be able to use the student government's laser printer to prepare camera-ready work for printing, Becker said.

The board first suggested the cash-only • policy at its Feb. 9 meeting after Student Center director Gary McManus complained that the number of bad checks passed at the booth was hurting its income.

The recommendation has yet to receive approval from the SFPC. The board also allocated space to the Native American Student Organization (NASO), assigning them to Room 255G in the Student Center Annex.

NASO's main goal is "to promote greater understanding between Native American students, advocate students and faculty." D

property," Becker said. "We have to make that right."

The SAB also approved funds to purchase an election computer so the student government no longer will have to work with the Denver Election Commission to hold student elections.

This solves the problem of scheduling Metro elections around Denver elections, Norton said.

Other approved funding through the ASMSC supplemental budget request went to the Irish Debate team and the National Intercollegiate Mock Trial Competition.

"Those programs did not apply for SAB funds last April," Becker-said. ''They had to go through an up-and-running program. It made sense for it to be student government. "(But) they need to come through the front door like all the rest of the programs," to get their funding, Becker said. There should be no problem, if they have their D budgets in by March 31, he said

"They won't have to duplicate the same equipment ... as long as they buy compatible programs," he said.

"This is the key to the student government working with other programs, working toward a unified goal," said Martin Norton, student body president.

The new computer will also be easier to use than the current one, which was purchased last year from the Auraria Book Center. The Book Center has since written off the cost of the computer.

"We need to find out definitely if we've paid for that first computer," Becker sai~ adding that accountants are checking the books. "Barring anything crazy - like we did pay for it - we will return the piece."

However, there may be complications in returning it, as the Business Office has listed the computer as student government property.

"Is there a motion to accept the minutes from the last student senate meeting? ... Is there a second? ... Is there any ~ion? Is there any d~nsion?"

Down went the gravel and the excitement began.

Mason Golding, associate justice on the Judicial Board, a five-member organization that settles student government disputes and interprets the ASMSC constitution, presided over the excitement at the March 2 student senate meeting. He was there to settle the controversy concerning the Dec. 16 senate meeting and whether meetings since then are valid The controversy began when the Dec. 16 meeting did not meet its quorum and three pro-tempore (temporary) senators allegedly voted themselves in as full-time senators.

He began to speak. People leaned over the circle of tables to hear him as if listening to E.F. Hutton.

"It is not the desire of this body to throw the student government into literal chaos," he said. ''The intent of the student government, an important issue, was not malicious or fraudulent in nature. Although the protem senators were appointed illegally and improprieties were present, the Judicial

Board holds that no sanctions shall be imposed. The pro-tern appointments shall be considered constitutional and all actions which have taken placesinceDec.16, 1987, regarding this issue are valid and legal."

There was applause and much rejoicing by the senators.

But there was also a lesson to be learned.

"It is our hope that each and every one of the members of the student government will reflect, in light of this holding, on their own actions and conduct."

Enough senators did finally attend the meeting in question to make quorum. The • . question was whether the pro-tempore senators stepped down when enough full-time senators were there or if they voted themselves into office. In any case, the situation has been resolved.

"I really think everyone was getting tired of all this," said Sen. Dan Holden.

In other business, Sen. Zak Zoah said the condom and condom/tampon machines will soon be in place around campus.

"There are three packs plus aspirin and three packs plus tampons and napkins," .,..

Zoah said "They (condoms) are lubed and ribbed." Zoah became irritated with the giggles.

"I was hoping we could discuss the issue without becoming third-graders."

Student Center: New Hyde Park?

Robert Ritter Associate Editor

/

A spot of London with your cheeseburger and fries?

That's what two members of the MSC student government would like to see. In fact, they wouldn't mind if the Auraria Student Center evolved into another Hyde Park.

Hyde Park is the famous London park that hosts Speaker's Comer, an area where anyone is allowed to speak on topics ranging from religion to politics.

And the two authors of the "Hyde Park" proposal are ASMSC President Martin Norton and Sen. Dan Becker.

"Martin and I were sitting at dinner and complaining about the morgue-type atmosphere of the Student Center. It seems kind of dreary," Becker said. "It seems like other student centers we've seen always have something going on."

Becker and Norton, both of whom have visited Hyde Park, propose that a 6-by-10 dais be set up by the student governments of Auraria's three institutions.

The format would be broken into two hours. During the first hour, a speaker, after signing up beforehand, would speak for 15 minutes on a chosen subject. That would be

followed by 15 minutes for open rebuttal, then a half hour for audience participation ¡ and questions.

According to the proposal, "The second hour would be open to a myriad of activities: impromptu discussions of other issues, unamplified solo musical performances or other entertaining endeavors by students."

The forum would be held Monday through Thursday from noon to 2 p.m. Each school would be given every third day for a representative from that school to use the space.

"This is not a controversial issue," Becker said. "It could be something that would pertain to any issue on campus. An issue such as the official English bill would be something to be debated.

"One idea is to have a student from a given institution sign up on an available date. The topic would be checked and they'd be given a set of policies," Becker said. "That way there's some control to it and it brings the student body together."

He said the proposal will have to be approved by the Student Facilities Policy Council (SFPC) and the Auraria executives.

The program would have to be implemented through the office of the Student Center director.

Gary McManus, director of the Student

Center, said he wants to see the final proposal before making a judgment.

"It seems like it was developed quite fast. I want to wait and see what the proposals are, see some detail to it."

McManus also said there may be a couple of difficulties.

"We put up a free speech area on the patio (outside the Student Center), and it's only been used once," he said. "(And) you want spontaneity, but then you dictate the response time."

But Becker said apathy should not be a barricade to the success of the proposal.

"There's always someone who wants to speak, to forward a cause or champion an issue. And issues can be forwarded to students in a much more personal, one-onone way.

"If we couldn't find four students at each institution for 12 days who were willing to talk on a given subject, then we're hurting as an institution. But I don't see that happening.

It's a win-win situation."

McManus said he thinks the Student Center may not be the ideal place for a Hyde Park replica.

"Maybe there is a better area for it, but I don't know. Maybe the North Classroom is better. I1l wait and see." o

A small directory for some big award$ Rollne McCoy Reporter

You knew scholarships were out there, but just didn't know where. To help you find them, the MSC Foundation, Inc. has put together a deceptively small directory of scholarships that's big in rewards.

The three-page directory provides a comprehensive listing of privately-funded scholarships grouped by department And six "all college" scholarships that are available to students in arty major are also listed.

The directory, which is the foundation's

first attempt to compile financial information, also lists requirements, deadlines and aw.ards.

"We're hoping to put another one~ut in the fall, to keep up with the growing amount of scholarships. We put it together because the money is for the students, so they should know bow to go about getting it. Until now, applying for private scholarships has been an obscure process," said Brad Snyder, coordinator of Foundation Affairs.

Snyder estimated that over $25,000 is available to MSC students in the directory.

Snyder expects the number of scholarships to increase so that the directory will hopefully

grow into a more permanent publication or become a part of the college catalog.

Organi7.ations wishing to add a scholarship (ir.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ to the directory must donate money to the foundation and meet the criteria established for scholarships: . Students can pick up a copy of the directory in Central Classroom 105 or 107.

Meet editor Tim McGovern

Ex-student's future in black-and-white Mark Hamstra Reporter

•

1

ff you think getting expelled from college would damn you to a life of mediocrity and minimal achievement, you're not Tim McGovern.

McGovern, editor of Denver Magazine and DenverBusiness magazine, was expelled from MSC twice and is neither mediocre nor a man of minimal achievement.

McGovern, 40, has been nominated for a Pulitzer Prize, led a small daily newspaper to 25 awards, and now runs two of Denver's most popular magazines.

But in the late 1960s, things weren't going so well for McGovern. He had just dropped out of Metro for the third time (and was thus expelled) and was about to be sent to Vietnam.

He was working in Denver as a rockgroup promoter, getting publicity for such local bands as The Beggers' Opera Company, which later became famous under the name Sugarloaf.

"IkeptenrollingatMetrotogeta(student exemption) so I wouldn't get drafted," he explains, sitting in his orderly office overlooking First Avenue in Cherry Creek. "But I was spending six nights a week in nightclubs, so I just put school on a back burner."

In 1969, McGovern got drafted anyway and, after serving a year as a combat correspondent in Vietnam (and being decorated six times), McGovern decided to make up for what he calls his "misspent youth."

He found work as a reporter and within three years, he received a Pulitzer Prize nomination for a series of articles he wrote for the Westchester-Rockland (N.Y.) chain

"They told me that without a letter from the CIA and the Pope, I could not rejoin the ranks of Metro students. But they did let me continue teaching.''

- Tim McGovern Denver Magazine/Denver Business editor of newspapers. The stories exposed a housing-developer scam and led to the creation of a new New York state law protecting homebuyers.

A few reporting jobs - and awards later, McGovern wound up teaching journalism part time at Metro and working as a reporter for The Denver Post.

He decided it was time he got a college

Tim McGovern: from 1xpul1lon to a Pulltzar Prize nomination. degree, so he re-enrolled at Metro, 10 years after his previous expulsion.

He was promptly re-expelled.

"They told me that without a letter from the CIA and the Pope, I could not rejoin the ranks of Metro students," he recalls. "But they did let me continue teaching."

McGovern eventually earned a bachelor's degree in English from Colorado College in 1980. After putting in a another couple of years as a reporter for the Rocky Mountain News, McGovern became managing editor of the Durango Herald.

While McGovern was in charge, the paper won 25 awards, including the General Excellence Sweepstakes award for the best

daily newspaper of any siz.e in Colorado.

Now McGovern runs two monthly magazines and will soon return to teaching.

He plans on teaching a course in business writing at the University of Denver this summer and may also teach at Metro in the fall.

He and his wife of two years, Kris, expect their first child next month.

As for his other plans, McGovern says he might like to write a book or two.

"There's nothing I'd rather do than work for myself," he says, crossing his feet up on his desk.

Whatever McGovern decides to do, there is no doubt he will do it well. o

MSC students. This should please the students at MSC, many of whom where contacted by the Metrosphere staff with suggestions for revisions of their work that will ultimately result in publication.

The format of the publication will also change. Metrosphere grew out of the vision of popular creative writing teacher Bob Pugel. For the first several years, Metrosphere appeared as a slick publication utilizing glossy paper, large page formats, and a generous use of articles and literature from throughout the nation. Now, with a heightened awareness of the limitations of space and a growing demand for literary excellence among MSC's own student body, the publication will move to a more traditional format. This format includes a dramatically reduced page size, book binding, and more reserved literary appearance.

Although the publication holds less room for art work, efforts to secure a few quality pieces, again from MSC students, has resulted in some dramatic graphics.

To kick off this year's circulation efforts, the Metrosphere staff will provide a circulation booth March 16 in the Student Center from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Students with valid MSC ID can purchase this year's edition in advance for $1. To sweeten the deal, a complimentary copy of last year's issue will be given with each order. The cover price for non-students is $4. The philosophy behind this dramatic savings is to provide students with Metrosphere at the lowest possible cost, since the budget is supported by student activity funds.

So why read anyhow? Metrosphere won a number of awards from the Rocky Mountain Collegiate Press Association for

general excellence, its cover, and other areas, including honorable mention for a poem.

This year's edition promises to be a continuation of that tradition of excellence. What accelerates both the tradition ofMetrosphere and its contents this year is the emphasis and dedication to publish the best the MSC student body has to offer.

"I'm very excited about this year's Metrosphere, because it is focusing on MSC student works," said Kate Lutrey, director of Student Publications.

Metrosphere editor Rose Duhaime said, "I'm very happy with the quality of this year's contnbutions. Metro has a large pool of good writers who deserve exposure." She also commended the Metrosphere staff.

"They have worked very hard, despite their own time constraints."

Faculty adviser Tom Miller said that despite the confusion that resulted from a change in faculty adviser and new guidelines from the Student Affairs Board, Metrosphere appears to be on the brink of a vibrant new era. · D

The student said she saw Lemhommad dragging his wife down the street and started calling for help as she approached the struggling couple, Ferguson said.

At that point, Lemhommad struck the student and Land intervened.

Lemhommad was restrained until Public Safety officer Steve Hoefler arrived and placed him under arrest. Denver police were summoned to transport Lemhommad to jail.

---------OP-ED-----Singie moms: free school?

MSC got beat to the punch on a program that is tailor-made for a school with Metro's demographics.

The University ·of Southern Colorado started a new single mother scholarship program this year that is helping 11 moms get their education and hopefully start breaking the pattern of poverty that is almost endemic to husbandless mothers.

An article in the March 1 edition of The Denver Post quotes USC President Robert Shirley: "Many women who have little preparation to do so are being confronted with the task of supporting themselves and their children." Instead of welfare or other public funds that never cure the problem, Shirley proposed "a more positive approach to make available scholarship funds to these women, to educate them in order that they can become selfsupporting."

Not only self-supporting, but working in fields where they have a future. Dr. Jodi Wetzel , director of MSC's Women's Institute, says too often government programs that are designed to get single mothers off welfare and into the work force focus on traditionally women-intensive areas like hair styling or low-end clerical work.

The problem with those kinds of jobs is that they rarely provide a mother - whose ex-husband is probably not paying child support - with enough money to feed, clothe, educate and provide health care for her children.

Wetzel said the chances for a mother to be able to provide an adequate upbringing for her children are greatly enhanced if she has a four-year college education.

She said that according to recent statistics, a mother with two children must earn $12 an hour- or roughly $25,000 a year - to provide adequate support for herself and her children. There are few jobs that pay even that modest sum that don't require a college degree.

Metro's new directory of scholarships shows that a start has been made in the right direction. A new scholarship named the Thomas W. Burns Memorial donates three $100 awards to single mothers. A slim amount when compared to the full tuition awarded at USC, but still a much appreciated beginning.

Although no figures are available, it is reasonable to assume that out of the more than 7,000 women who attend MSC, there are at least a thousand single mothers. Metro, as well as Auraria and the other two schools, can seize a perfect opportunity to not only help these women pay for their education but also move into areas like child care, legal and medical services.

March is National Women's History Month; let's hope Metro can begin a new chapter in women's history as the place where the feminization of poverty began to end.

-Jim Manuel Editor

To the Editor: Once again am aghast at reporter Laurence Washington's lack-of sensitivity toward minority issues.

In his front page story in the March 4 issue of The Metropolitan , Washington chose to point out, quite unnecessarily, the race of a male MSC student who had been arrested and subsequently acquitted: 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.

Identifying the student by race was not only unnecessary, but insensitive and cruel.

In addition to this unfortunate oversight, I was left· wondering if the woman who was attacked Feb. 24 had any description of the man who attacked her.

About how tall is he? Could she tell about how old he is? What about race?

Racial distinction is necessary information when searching for suspects and lost persons, but inappropriate identification of acquitted men or women, among all others.

Deb111 A. Schluter MSC1tudent (race withheld on requeat)

In an earlier version of the story, a racial description of the recent intruder was used to distinguish the fact that there were two different men.

For reasons we can't divulge, we pulled the description of the second assailant and forgot to pull the offending adjective.

No offense was intended.

Student actions questioned To the Editor: In addition to my studies as a junior at Metro, I am also active with a local environmental group. Last month, with the Student Center's stamp of approval, I posted flyers protesting the proposed Two Forks Dam project near Denver.

The Two Forks proposal poses a serious threat to Colorado and demands a strong response .

Admittedly, my circulars appeared to be controversial, especially for those who stand to make a lot of money on the project.

Nevertheless, I was surprised to note within a

week's time that most of the flyers had been defaced or removed from Auraria bulletin boards. Why? Abbey Hoffman, on a recent visit to Denver, suggested that modern colleges have become hotbeds of rest, lethargy and indifference. I disagree. Had my flyers advertised half-priced beer or instructions on making a quick buck, they would have endured many semesters and I would have won countless converts .

Students enjoy surf and su11 Victoria Fitzpatrick Reporter The small number of students who attended the ''Summertime Anytime Beach Party" in the Auraria gym March 4 seemed to have a good time.

They should have. It cost MSC Student Activities $3,800 to sponsor it.

"I think it was worth every red cent," said Ron Lopez, special events coordinator. "It was really good.

The people that were there had a ball."

Lopez estimated 500 people at least walked through the party. Before the party, he said he hoped 5,000 people would attend.

Blane Robertson of Ray Boston Productions estimated that 300 people attended.

"But a lot of people were just getting a bar of ice cream," he said.

In any case, there never seemed to be more than 50 people present at one time.

Lopez didn't know why the attendance was so low.

He said signs were posted all over the campus.

However, no one asked at the party claimed to have seen one outside the Student Center. Many students said they learned about the party through the freshman seminar.

''There's not enough publicity. I'd never heard of it (outside of class)," MSC freshman Kirsten Bail~ said.

"Our problem is the bulletin boards are such a mess," Lopez said. "It wasn't that (the party) wasn't advertised. What do we have to do, mail invitations?"

For the first hour, more members of the media were present than were members of the student body. KOA radio broadcast live from the gym during "Kelly and Company" radio show.

And Associated Press had a photographer at the party.

But there wasn't that much to cover.

Three people, all members of the student government, were playing Twister.

A volleyball game had 15 participants, including the people who worked to set up the party.

And no one was in the pools.

It brought back memories of the Super Bowl, where media 'people outnumbered football players.

But there would never be a Super Bowl where no one showed up.

Finally, as the clock's big hand slowly fell to 5:30 p.m., attendance grew. But the gym was still mostly empty.

Lopez said 450 Haagen-Dazs bars had been eaten by that time.

Thirty people were playing volleyball.

Ten were tangled up in a Twister game.

And two people actually got into the pools! But since there were three pools, they were hardly crowded.

Guitarist Paul Strowe provided music and entertainment. He opened his show by begging the partiers to stand clear for the 2,000 who were breaking down the door.

He arrived at noon from Rochester, N.Y., and had never done a Ray Boston party, although he has had a solo act for 10 years.

"This is my virgin show," he said.

Not only was the crowd missing, the atmosphere wasn't all it had been cracked up to be.

No one looked tan under the lights. And where were the fans blowing the scent of suntan lotion around?

MSC didn't have the correct current for Ray Boston Productions to use the right lights and fans, Robertson said.

Because of confusion on MSC's part, the production company didn't know the current wouldn't be right until it got into town March 3.

Students mix It up In a friendly game of volleyball.

Guitarist Paul Strowe strums some Ille Into the party.

And the Haagen-Dazs was great, but where were the concessions?

"There should be something to drink, not necessarily alcoholic," CU-Denver graduate student David Pownall said.

The lack of liquid apparently also stemmed from confusion on MSC's part. Lopez said the Freshman Qub was going to run the concession stand, but the production company had rights to it.

Freshman Club Vice President Kathy Elder simply said that plans to run a concession stand fell through.

"I think we opened it up at the right time because everybody swamped it," Lopez said.

Nevertheless, there were some who had already wandered the halls of the P.E. building to find a pop machine.

The beach area did have sand, scenery and sun lamps. The area measured about 15 feet by 15 feet and included two beach chairs.

One MSC student, sophomore Rob "Skee" Olenski, even brought his beach umbrella. But one-eighth inch of sand was not enough to actually put the umbrella in, so he simply laid it on the floor.

"A cat's litter box has more sand than that," said Marc Camron, MSC sophomore.

The toddlers who came to the party seemed to have a good time. Both Rachel Green, 2, and Teamy Clark, 15 months, enjoyed the ice cream and the sand They probably didn't mind being able to wander without running into too many strange knees.

"I thought that was super/' Lopez said about the attendance of families.

Many students came because the freshman seminar class requires attendance at three schoo! l\Ctivities.

"I thougQt it was something I could bring my kid to and it would be fun," MSC freshman Jill Green said, adding that her seminar professor pushed for attendance at the event "It is ·fun, but there's not enough people here," Bailey said.

Other students, including Rachel Bruhn and Shannon Cox, saw a poster in the Student Center promoting the party. The two MSC freshmen came because they didn't want to watch the lacrosse team, which they manage, practice.

Lopez said the poster did a lot to advertise the party.

During the party, it was hanging outside the P.E. build· ing because many people walk between it and the Student Center.

Robertson, who has worked with Ray Boston Productions for eight months, said he has never seen a party not sold out.

He said the last party he did in Colorado Springs was so crowded, there wasn't any space on the dance floor.

"It was full of people having a great time," he said.

"I'm not sure what the problem was, why (MSC's party) wasn't a success."

Lopez disagreed with Robertson.

"I thought it was a super success."

The low attendance could have been because it was the first.time MSC has had such a big event, Lopez said, obviously ignoring homecoming.

"We had to pay the price the first year, but next year it is going to be super," he said.

Next year, though, Lopez is considering holding the party outdoors in the fall o

"We brought in new coaching, and Dean became a team leader," Wilson said. "He was like an emotional firecracker ready to go off. He was the team's emotional leader."

The team will donate a percentage of the funds raised through team entry fees, con~on stand sales and tournament Tsbirts to Children's Hospital in bis name, Wilson said. The tournament will be held on the Auraria football field.

There will also be a traveling team trophy that will go each year to the team member who most represents the enthusiasm Hennanspan bad.

Rugby team remembers continued from p. 14 Wilson and Hermanspan were co-captains for the '87 season - Wilson for the scrum, Hermanspan, the backs.

In rugby, the scrum gains possession of the ball, then ~ it to the backs. The backs run the ball up the field and try to score.

Besides being captains on the field, Wilson said he and Hermanspan were similar in other respects.

"Dean and I could sit together till two in the morning not saying anything and it didn't matter."

Hermanspan, a 1983 graduate of East High School, toOk two years off after high school to work in Florida before coming to MSC to study marketing. Wilson also took time out from school before settling at Metro where the two met.

"He was real excited about business," Wilson said. "He used to talk about hustles.

He knew how to make a buck."

His enthusiasm was what made people like him, Wilson said.

In 1986, at the Jackelope Tournament in Wyoming, Hermanspan missed the Saturday rugby match because he had to work, but drove to Laramie for Sunday's match.

"I busted my ankle in the Saturday game and had to sit on the sidelines," Wilson said.

"Dean came up to me and said he was gonna win for me.

"He scored and kicked well. He led the team to beat CSU.'' It was only the second time in the club's seven-year history that they beat Colorado State University. After the game, a referee stopped to talk with Wilson.

"The ref asked who he was and what type of guy he was," Wilson said.

"If you got to know him, you would like him.

"That's what made him special."

Screening to benefit Vietnam vets

March 11, 1988

A unique look at the Vietnam War is the subject of a special benefit screening 7 p.m.

March 24 at the Paramount Theater.

Dear America, a film from the book of the same title, uses actual footage from Vietnam and narrations of letters written by men and women stationed in Vietnam during the war.

Robert DeNiro, Michael J. Fox, Matt Dillon and Bruce Springsteen are just some of the narrators of the letters.

According to Mary Stout, president of the Vietnam Veterans of An).erica, the film is more than the typical treatment of the war.

"It is also the story of the War itself. By using newsclips from the War, Dear America captures the entire national drama and debate surrounding our country's most controversial war. For the first time, however, we get to see that national debate from the point of view of the men and women who were 'over there.' " Proceeds from the screening will help fund ongoing programs of the Vietnam Veterans of America.

Comedy, tragedy spotlight profs life "Yes, but I'm the one who's stealing the focus from you, and your job as the speaker is to attain, sharpen and sustain focus and I'm being difficult. There's always a difficult person like me in the class. So ... everybody talk to each other right now and make her get your attention."

The class talks.

Finally she asks for ''the clap." The class is told to ask for "the clap" before they begin speaking, and the audience claps once.

Diane Gemma Reporter MSC speech teacher Michael Trimble, also known as Sir Michael of Uptown/ Downtown, is one of those people who makes you laugh and cry at the same time.

Trimble, who got his nickname after friends decided his acting abilities warranted Knighthood, can often be found demonstrating those abilities in front of a class.

"Get away from that spot where you're hiding from behind the table. Your zipper's working."

To a student who raises his hand to ask a question: "Do you have to go to the bathroom, sir?"

Trimble asks.

"No," the student answers.

"Speak up, then. Talking is more effective than waving your hand in the wind."

"Hello," the teacher screams to another student.

"Yes, I'm ready," answers the next speaker. "But you're the one who's talking."

She has their attention.

Each person has to introduce the next speaker, but they're not supposed to say the usual "I'd like to introduce ... " according to Trimble. So one man very creatively introduces the woman speaking after him.

"This is Kathy, drug dealer from Colombia, and if you need some good pot - " "Stop,.stop!" the teacher screams. "How many noticed his body running away, while his lips were trying to stay there?"

Another woman raises her band and tries to ask a question.

"Do you have to go to the bathroom again, ma'am?" he asks. "And how many people would like this lady to speak up?

1,700. Okay, continue."

Trimble feels his teaching style is unique.

"Nobody teaches like I do," he says. "I developed this over 20 years ago because I had a teacher who was basically 'how not to teach.' He came in and read - poorly dirty magazines. So that was it. Temble. He was an alchie-priest. In fact, I was at that school to become a priest, but I decided I didn't like what I saw, so I got into theater."

Trimble has been a part-time teacher at Metro for about seven years. He has also taught several semesters at the University of Colorado at Denver.

don't want my students to write things out and memorize them, but to develop a concept and then create ... on the 'sperm' of the moment, as I say."

Trimble, about 5-foot-8 with jet black hair that has a dash of salt - Jerry Lewis style - and sparkling aqua eyes, would like to see himself as a comedian. Many already do.

"He's hilarious," says former student Rhonda Hulse. "Everyone is always laughing in his class."

"I did a very exciting and interesting thing," Trimble says. "Two weeks ago on a Monday night, I picked up a piece of paper in a bathroom on the way off campus at ten at night and it was an announcement - a chance for a slot to go into Comedy Works.

They wanted education professionals - teachers.

"I went down there and was the first of six teachers who did their five-minute comedy routine.'' His eyes flash. "I felt it was well-received.

"I'm trying to do comedy professionally," he says. "I've been doing it in my teaching classroom as part of my method of allowing students to listen and relax. Without that, the brain doesn't cool off enough to allow you to create and learn."

During one woman's speech, a chair is dragged loudly across the floor in the next room. The class breaks out in laughter, but she keeps going.

"What happened during your speech, madam?'' Trimble asks.

"Get away from that spot where you're hiding from behind the table.

Your zipper's working."

- Michael Trimble MSC speech teacher "I'm not sure," she answers.

"She didn't hear the elephant farting in the next room, did she, class?"

Trimble, his loud raspy voice with its usual comical tone scratching out into the classroom, is the epitome of his favorite word: enthusiasm. His striped sweater perfectly mismatches bis striped T-shirt underneath. His disheveled hair and diamond/ rhinestone earring complete the picture.

"My son gave this sweater to my wife for Christmas, but she's in the hospital right now, so I wear it," he said, looking down at it.

Despite his good humor, there are bags under his eyes that cannot go unnoticed.

His wife's hospitalization, of two weeks now, has given shading and depth to the definition of his face. Her name is Trudi. She has been bedridden with multiple sclerosis for 20 of their 22 years of marriage.

"She's very coherent mentally, but has major problems communicating vocally.

And that's the fascinating thing: I demand and accept perfection in the classroom and go home and have to accept whatever God has left over."

Trimble has two children, son, Chris, 20, and daughter, Maria, 18. "One of each kind and I'm working on one of each color," he laughs. "I told that to the black nurse at the hospital and she turned white."

His wife's condition has not been without its lighter moments.

"At one time we got an electrical hospital bed after having had a manual one for years; the kids took turns rolling her up and down during the meal. All of a sudden I get this electric one. I'm working graveyard at King Soopers, I come home at eight in the morning, TV on per usual, kids on the floor. What was unusual was my wife's hospital bed going up and down continually and incessantly - and had been so for hours. The look on her face Picasso could not render.

"What had happened was the dog ate through six of the eight wires, and it short circuited. Yes, you're laughing and I laughed too, but I was so angry at God first," he says.

"I always tell people I always know where my wife is because I take the wheels off her hospital bed."

Students say Trimble's upbeat attitude and use of humor has made him an unusual teacher.

"He's different from your more traditional teachers," says Sandy Van Houten.

"He makes learning fun."

"You can't learn unless you want to learn," adds student Tom Jones. "He makes you want to learn; he makes it exciting."

A certain kind of energy generates in his classes. His humor mixed with the typical nervousness of his students, the kind that goes with public speaking, has created an atmosphere charged with energy and emotion.

"We all got to be friends in that class," says Hulse. "Everyone was nervous, but after a wbile we stopped judging each other.

Michael set up an atmosphere that allowed us to support each other instead of put each other down."

Trimble is writing a book called What's New? The Moment, which talks about his ways of coping with life.

"My book is going to be very entertaining and amusing," he says.

Student rides 'Flipper' to new career Dave Beech Reporter Flipper lived in a world full of wonder.

And Michael McGowan, an MSC broadcasting major from Miami, shared that - world for two years.

"It was great. For the last two seasons (of the show), from 1966 through '67, I was a stand-in on 'Flipper,' " McGowan said. "I got to play with Flipper and ride on the boats."

Stand-ins, McGowan explained, are extras who "stand-in" for the actors while the crew prepares the scene.

"Most people think stand-ins are stunt doubles, but they're not," he said.

McGowan attributed his early acting and modeling career to his hair.

"Color (TV) was a new thing then, and since I have red hair, I got parts in different commercials," McGowan said The "Flipper" part was a little harder to catch. To get it, McGowan had to look like Tommy Norden, who played Bud Ricks on .,.. the show.

"I had to match his looks and size," he said.

That meant gaining 15 pounds in one weekend.

"I ate and ate, but I could only manage to gain eight pounds," he said.

It must have worked, because McGowan looked so much like Norden that fans kept confusing the two of them. McGowan said he was asked for autographs more often than Norden.

While working on a television show might seem glamorous, McGowan said it was just a job.

"It was great for the last two seasons, from 1966 through '67. I was a stand-In on -'Flipper.' I got to play with Flipper and ride on the boats."

- Michael McGowan MSC student "I don't like to brag. The job was real fun, but I don't go out of my way to tell people about it, or to try and see it in reruns,'' he said. "Just once I watched (a rerun) and I wasn't in that show."

To McGowan, though, the real heroes weren't the actors, but the crew behind the cameras.

"They did all the hard work,'' he said.

Inspired by their dedication, McGowan

MSC speech teacher, continued from p. 16 "I've been working on it for decades. I have boxes and boxes and boxes of writings.

There'll be about 20 chapters, one for each year.

"I start the book with a quote from my father: 'Never look back, keep your chin up.'

And then a quote from Emerson - 'What lies behind us and what lies in front of us are but tiny matters compared to what lies within us.'"

Students can see Trimble spinning around campus on his Pee Wee Herman bike, as it's been called.

"A friend of mine gave it to me when my car was repoed," he says.

"People also call it the Pee Wee Herman bike possibly because I wear weird clothes."

(Typical is a maroon jacket and yellow tie or pink polyester pants.)

"I wear the bright-colored clothes to cheer myself and the people around me up and also as a form of relaxing the students. I

don't want to walk in with a tie andJ>e constipated visually and emotionally all the time because I don't think you get creativity going.

"You have to have fun with sex and relationships and food or you won't get anywhere,'' he says. ''Teaching, for me, is very rewarding. It takes hours and hours to come down after a class. My philosophy in life is that we have been put in the world to find happiness, but the rub is, we must share it.''

It's easier and sometimes more acceptable to be passive and wait for happiness down the road, he says, but people must seek and attain happiness now.

Apparently, not everyone agrees with him.

"Have you noticed that you can cry all day on the comer of Broadway and Colfax and not even 'Denver Cares' will pick you up, but if you laugh for five minutes, they'll come get you immediately'?" o

has gone on to work in television and movie production.

In fact, while most students were trudging through another snowstorm last semester, McGowan was in Miami working as an assistant director for a series of commercials for Canadian firm.

McGowan takes his cue from his mother, who is involved in television and film production in the Miami area. Through her, McGowan gets occasional contacts and jobs.

"We worked together for a while, but she drove me crazy," McGowan said.

After hearing a John Denver song, McGowan moved to Denver in 1976, saying he needed a change of scenery.

..........

McGowan worked at a variety of jobs betore being hired by Continental Airlines.

There, McGowan said, he has worked at almost every position in the last nine years except flight attendant "The only reason I haven't is because I hate flying," he said.

Airline work is not his "cup of tea," he said. He hopes a college degree will enable him to move on to something else.

"A degree will strengthen my options," he said. "And the more options a person has, the more you can do with your life."

He admitted to feeling a bit landlocked.

He is a self-described "aquatic kind of guy."

Student more than a pretty face Don't look for Heather Arnold's pretty face on campus next fall.

Rather, look in a magazine or two.

Elizabeth Rees Reporter

Heather Arnold may be only one of the many pretty faces on the Auraria campus, but her · good looks and ambition have singled her out from the others.

She was recently given the opportunity of her lifetime - a chance to advance her modeling career with the Elite modeling agency in New York.

This is something Arnold, a 1983 graduate of Boulder's Fairview High Schoo~ has been working toward since the age of 15, when she first modeled in a Santa Fe, N.M., fashion show.

The Santa Fe show was the beginning of a number of modeling jobs for the 5-foot-8inch, 110 pound MSC broadcasting major, including the cover of Colorado Magazine, fashion spreads in the Boulder Daily Camera · and ads for Boulder Chiver sports and Calvin Klein underwear.

In the past, the vivacious 24-year-old has worked for the Light Company, a local modeling agency. She is currently with John Casablancas Model Talent Management, the Denver affiliate of the Elite agency in New York City.

Arnold answered an "open call" last September through Casablancas and was chosen over 200 other women to travel to

New York. During an open call, agency'" owners look for new models while on a sweep through their affililates in different cities across the nation. This practice allows the owners to save money because they don't have to buy the model's contract from outside agencies.

Arnold leaves for New York in August.

Once there, she'll live with other models in a dormitory. Then she11 begin the long days of posing for people who hold her future in their hands.

"I'll also be test shooting with Glamour magazine, Vogue magazine and Mademoiselle magazine. If they like my look, there's a good p05.5ibility I could end up with one of the magazines," Arnold said.

These periodicals aren't the first to seek Arnold out. Four years ago, Playboy approached her during the magazine's pictorial of the "Girls of the Big Eight." This pictorial included girls at the Big-Eight universities posing nude at their respective schools. Arnold was a University of Colorado student at the time.

Paula Ray, public relations director for John Casablancas Model Talent Management, acknowledged that Arnold was offered the centerfold, ''but(she) turned it down for personal reasons."

Arnold said she was young and naive at the time, and her family was coping with a tragic accident that left her father critically injured.

AI5o, she considers herself a feminist and believes the magazine "profits by selling women."

Arnold maintains that the world of modeling is not all glitz and glamour. She had an eating disorder similar to anorexia nervosa shortly after the Playboy offer. She wasn't eating, sleeping or taking care of herself while trying to keep her weight down.

"No one stops you and says, 'Boy, you look sick.' They just want you there on time and at the right weight," Arnold said. "It's funny because you'll be standing in line with other models and you'll hear their stomachs growling."

She is now under a physican's supervision and follows a special diet. She also works out with weights and does aerobics.

She realizes she can't depend on a modeling career for the rest of her life because a model's career is so short.

Therefore, she has chosen to work toward a future in sports broadcasting - somethin~ she sees as difficult for women. But she hopes her modeling will help her make the jump into broadcasting.

"If you're a woman in sports, you're virtually a pioneer. And that's been really difficult. You have to know everything. You have to know twice as much as any of the men about sports," she said.

"A woman going into (sports broadcasting) finds it very difficult because you're not raised on sports the way men are. So for me, I'm having to learn all these things at once."

Eventually, Arnold will be back at the books, but don't look for her on campus next fall. Rather, look for her in a magazine or D two.

---SPORTS-Netters return with depth, high hopes

Steve N11h. MSC's No. 1 slngla player

John Gegner Reporter

.

MSC's men's tennis team, bolstered by greater team depth and the return of 1986 No. 1 singles player Steve Nash, looks forward to an improved season this spring.

Coach John Arntz's netters, 6-26 in 1987, have five of seven of last year's top players back, and with the return to eligibility of Nash, boast six experienced players.

'

"We should be a lot better this year because the bottom half of the team is stronger," Arntz said. "Most of the matches we lost last year, we lost because we couldn't win any matches at the lower end."

A college match features six singles matches followed by three doubles matches.

"I think there will be a lot of those matches we lost 5-4 or 6-3, where we can turn the tables now," Arntz said Returning to his former No. 1 singles position, senior Nash edged out last year's No. 1 Jeff Cline in preseason challenge matches. Nash, a former George Washington High School star, posted a 19-6 singles record in 1986.

Cline, a senior from Arapahoe, had a 12-11 record last season and will anchor the No. 2 singles position. Last year's No. 2 player, Will Brogan, a junior from Springville, N. Y., will hold down the No. 3 position this season. Brogan had a 5-16 singles record in 1987.

Newcomer Bryan Osborn, a sophomore from Lakewood, moves into the No. 4 position ahead oflast year's No. 4, Jin Chon.

Chon, a sophomore from Aurora Central, will play No. 5 singles this season. In 1987, he posted a 5-15 record Ken Voss, a freshman from Lakewood, rounds out the squad's starters in the No. 6 singles slot.

Last year's No. 3 singles player, Chuck Griffin, a senior from Douglas County, and 1987 first alternate, John Silva, a sophomore

from Westminster, fill out the squad in reserve. Last season Griffin posted a 5-14 record and Silva a 2-12 record.

Arntz plans to pair Nash and Cline in the No. 1 doubles slot. Osborn and Chon will play No. 2 doubles, and Brogan and Voss will form the No. 3 doubles tandem.

"We have a lot more positive attitude going because the team is stronger from top to bottom," Arntz said. Citing improved doubles play and stronger talent at the No. 5 and No. 6 singles position, Arntz likes the Road.runners' chances this season.

He said the team should be able to beat Mesa, Fort Lewis, Southern Colorado and Colorado College.

"And we'll scrap with teams I thought we had no chance with last year," he added.

Those teams include Regis, Denver, Northern Colorado and Colorado State.

Assistant coach Mark Luna began indoor practices Feb. 2 at Meadow Creek Racquet Club on Tuesday and Sunday nights, when court time was available at bargain rates.

Arntz believes the indoor practice sessions should give the team a jump on previous years when no indoor practice was scheduled.

Outdoor practice began Feb. 29 The team's spring schedule includes 16 dual matches and two tournaments. Metro will host the Colorado Collegiate Tournament April 15-16 at the Auraria tennis courts.

路 Tennis team shakes off cold, nets first win John Gegner Reporter

On a cloudy and blustery day more suited for table tennis than outdoor tennis, the MSC men's netters opened their season by trouncing Air Force Academy Prep 7-1.

With wannups and wind jackets the uniform of the day, coach John Arntz's team lived up to its preseason expectations with a dominating performance against the Air Force squad on March 4.

Only MSC No. 1 single player Steve Nash dropped a match during the competition, shortened by one match due to the absence of Air Force's N'J. 6 singles player.

Nash lost a hard-fought match to Air Force's Jason Groom 3-6, 3-6. Metro's singles winners included: No. 2 Jeff Cline routing Dan Robison 6-0, 6-0; No. 3 Bryan Osborn topping Alex Cole 6-1, 6-1; No. 4 Jin Chon defeating Troy Brashear 6-2, 6-0; and No. 5 Ken Voss edging Dao Nguyen 6-2, 6-3.

Metro's No. 1 doubles team of Nash and Cline defeated Groom and Kelly Costigan 6-1, 6-4. In No. 2 doubles, MSC's Osborn and Chon topped Cole and Brashear 6-2, 6-2. The Metro No. 3 doubles team of Voss and John Silva trounced Robison and Nguyen 6-1, 6-2.

The MSC netters host Colorado College March 12 at 10 a.m. and Southern Colorado the same afternoon at 2:30. Regis visits Metro for a 2:30 p.m. match on March I~

Roadrunners 9-3 overall

Pitcher lost for year?

Elizabeth Rees Reporter

•

Coach Bill Helman and the MSC's men's baseball team lost more than a doubleheader on March6.

They lost their starting pitcher.

Scott Novak, a transfer from Creighton University in Omaha, developed problems with his right shoulder. His pitching arm.

"Our top pitcher ... hurt himself at Air Force," Helman said. "It's a continuous injury. He may have tom a rotator cuff. It's kind of a tough break."

Novak underwent an arthogram March 9. The procedure involved injecting dye into Novak's shoulder, then examining x-rays to check for damaged cartilage.

"At best, he has pretty bad tendonitis," Helman said The Roadrunners don't know if he'll be back at all this year.

Taking up the slack will be Dan Taylor, Mike Nussbaum and Anthony Cortez.

On March 5, MSC took an early 6-3 lead, and Colorado College was history for the rest of the afternoon as Metro romped 14-4.

The Tigers' frustration could be seen and heard in the outfield as errors began to mount, and cursing replaced the usual chatter. ''They're the only Division III team in the area," Helman said, "and they're weak even as a Division III." Metro is an NCAA Division II team.

The Tigers switched pitchers twice in the third inning to no avail. Wild pitches led to too many walks and when good balls were thrown, MSC players hit them to the gaps in the outfield.

The first game wasn't much better. The Tigers just couldn't pull themselves together.

Errors became more frequent, and the Roadrunners never had to worry on the way to an 11-4 victory.

Helman switched pitchers many times throughout the two games to give each pitcher playing time.

The Roadrunners lost a doubleheader to Air Force the next day.

On the road in Colorado Springs, tired players, bad mental attitudes and freezing temperatures allowed the Falcons to capitalize on the error-prone MSC team.

"We ended up making a lot of dumb plays," Helman said. "It was freezing and there was snow in the dugout."

Metro lost the first game 8-7 and the second 17-13.

Over the weekend, Erik Vessey hit four home runs and three RBis. Third baseman Rusty Befus hit one home run and two RBis, catcher Dave Gudridge had one home run and four RBis, and catcherI designated hitter Scott Dreman hit two home runs and five RBis. The Roadrunners also defeated the University of Northern Colorado Bears in extra innings March 8. The game was tied 11-11 in the bottom of the seventh. The

.....

Rusty Befus. shown ag1lnst DU. rapped one home run and two RBis to help Metro win three out of·five gamea l11t weekend. ·

Roadrunners scored four runs in the eighth for an 11-5 win.

The Roadrunners face the University of Wyoming for a doubleheader March 12 at 2 p.m. They then travel to Colorado Springs to

meet UNC at noon on March 13. The next day they play at the University of Denver at 2 p.m. They return home to face Otero Junior College on March 18 for another doubleheader at I p.m. o

Grosz's talent noticed by league The basketball talents of MSC star power forw ard Rich Grosz have not gone unnoticed.

Grosz, the Roadrunner's all-time leading scorer and rebounder in his four-year career, was recently voted Most Valuable Player by the team.

"I got lucky I guess. I wasn't expecting it," Grosz said of the honor.

He averaged a team-high 14.3 points and 9.5 rebounds per game. He also started all 28 games and shot 54.9 percent from the field.

But the honors don't stop there. Grosz was also named to the Great Northwest

Conference first-team. All coaches around the league select five outstanding players from the six GNC schools.

"It's a nice honor to have. Tom Murphy (last year's leading scorer) made first team last year. I was on the second team," Grosz said.

And, as an added bonus, Grosz was selected to the NCAA's Division II secondteam in the All-West Region. He said it, too, was a·nice honor to have, but he wasn't sure how prestigious it was.

"It really hasn't hit yet."

When Sharon Shin talks about MSC, her eyes light up.

"Most of what I do and who I am, I got through Metro," she said.

Shin, a Denver native, graduated from Metro in 1976 with a bachelor of science in land use from the earth science department.

She now works for the National Park Services and teaches a class at Metro every Saturday on GIS, Geographic Information Systems, mapping the earth's surface. Going to Metro seems to be a family experience;

,;

two of Shin's brothers are also Metro graduates.

"When we get together, we talk about the school and the old campus," Shin said, laughing.

"Most of what I do and who I am. I got through Metro."

- Sharon Shin MSC Instructor Dr. Dixon Smith, head of the department, said Shin has come a long way since she started at school. "[used to be very shy," Shin explained.

"I'd sit in the back ofthe class and never say a word. Gradually I moved to the front and

full class participation."

Shin said the atmosphere ofthe department is one of closeness. She always kept in touch, saying that Metro gave her more self gratification and job skills than the University of Colorado at Denver, where she graduated in 1985 with a master's of arts in planning and community development.

"Metro is a unique educational experience.

They're here to teach, not to crank out research papers (like UCD)," she said.

Shin enjoys needle craft, photography, music and square dancing, but admitted that between her job and teaching, there is little D time left for hobbies.
