,Homosexual issue creates war inAmerican senate Kristin Hager Reporter

Members of MSC's newly-elected senate already face controversy, as allegations ,. concerning homosexuality have launched into a full-scale battle.

A~rding to a complaint to the election commismon, Senator-elect Joel Kleg had "problems" with Sen. Zakka.ry Zoah because of his self-admitted homosexuality. ..,- ''They (homosexuals) are an abomination and should not be allowed on this earth," Kleg was quoted as saying in a complaint filed before the commission April 8 by Sen. Judith Brooks.

Thus began a week-long shufile of stacks of complaints, counter-complaints, retrac"" tions and additions in triplicate, as the two

sought personal and polittcal restitution.

Brooks withdrew the complaint three days later after Kleg agreed to make a public apology to Zoah at the April 27 senate meeting.

"It was a private conversation, and I know there was no malice involved," Brooks said. "I just think that as a public official, he shouldn't have said something like that."

Kleg said he also feels be should not have voiced his opinions when acting as a public official.

"The Slaiements I did make concerning homosexuals were not meant as a demeaning cbanicteril.ation of the individuals within the gay community," he said. "Rather, it is my opinion concerning the act of homosexuality."

"I believe that homosexuality is an

abomination, but I do not deny (members of the gay community) to practice or interact with and in any aspect of American life, including public life. That is the right

society has given them by the Constitution. I would not, in any condition, · deny the rights so sacred in our society to (them), regardless of my personal beliefs," Kleg said. He said he plans to make a public apology to Zoah at the next senate meeting, though be may do it in a closed session.

"There is no reason to make this bigger than it is. It is the concern only of the senators," he said Zoah, however, does not agree.

"I don't want to be perceived as a troublemaking, rebellious senator. Normally, I wouldn't do anything. I'd be mad, but I'd talk to him about it and have that be the end," Zoah said. "But since I am a past president of the Gay and Lesbian Alliance

-----NEWS----Financial aid: changes hurt neediest Shelley Devitt Reporter

-_. Single-parent students, recently unemployed students and new high school graduates are expected to suffer the most under a new law recently passed by Congress.

The Higher Education Amendments Act of 1986, which has been phased in since its passage in October of 1986, will change the way eligibility for federal financial aid to college • c.;tudents will be determined.

Cheryl Judson, MSC Financial Aid director, explained that there will be a shift in both who gets the aid and in bow much they get.

"Students who never got money before are going to be eligible ... and get more money than they ever anticipated," Judson said. "And students who used to get a lot of money l' may only get a Pell grant."

The financial aid programs affected the most are the Pell grants and the Guaranteed Student Loan (GSL).

Based on preliminary data from ACT (American College Testing program in Iowa), Judson said, "It appears more students will be eligible for Pell grants, single parents will be .. less eligible for other forms of aid and married students will be able to get more aid."

It is primarily the changes in GSL eligibility that concern college financial aid administrators.

"There's no longer the old, if your income is less than $30,000, you automatically are eligible (for a GSL)," Jud.._son said.

In prior years, if a student's income was $30,000 or more, a table would be used to determine the level of the student's ~eligibility. If a student was substantially below that level, be or she was encouraged to apply to ACT to determine eligibility for financial aid.

~Commission John Gegner Reporter I

'

Despite the MSC election commission's dismissal of five complaints against newlyelected student government President Bruce DeWitt and Vice President Stacy Sagara, final resolution of the election outcome still remains in limbo.

Since October 1986, everyone wanting financial aid must fill out an ACT application for a "standard needs analysis" test. Previously only those wanting a Pell grant had to fill out the form.

And now ACT applies a much more complicated formula to determine need and informs the college of the amount of aid for which a student is eligible.

Every school sets its own awarding policy and then determines the sequence of bow funds are awarded, according to Judson.

"We try to give the best money available first," she said.

The neediest students receive a Pell grant or some combination of a grant and loan. Less needy students will receive work study (if they are not working already) or a GSL. The least needy students will receive a national direct student loan.

Although it may be too early to see many actual cases of denials or reductions in awards, financial aid administrators are determining bow they can assist students who will be hurt by the new rules and formulas. .

Single-parent students could be hurt the most.

"It's probably the biggest flaw in the whole program," said Lee Ingalls, Financial Aid director at the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs.

The "flaw" is a provision that says the ACT will only look at each student's single budget "You can no longer allow expenses for that student's dependents," Judson said.

Day care costs are recognized, but even if the single parent has no income, the new formula cannot get that student enough income to be able to support a family, she said.

"They're (Congress) trying to stop using financial aid to support families," she said. "They only want it to go for that student who is enrolled in school. The only catch is that there

dismisses election charges

At the April 15 ·election commission meeting, Martin Norton, current ASMSC president and member of the commission, said the charges, ranging from candidates standing too close to the voting booths to buying votes, were judged to have no foundation.

"I'm absolutely elated with the election commission's decision," DeWitt said. "It

Safety poster campaign Jay Hauptman Reporter

The MSC Campus Safety Committee is out to provoke thought and prevent crime.

The committee, formed on Nov. 17, 1987, consists of four members: senators Judy Brooks and Ron Lopez, and studentsat-large Bob Krebs and Hector Rubio.

The committee is distributing posters and fliers throughout campus in an effort to educate and inform students on how they can lead safer lives, Brooks, the committee's chair, said. ( · "We will have these posted and we'll be handing them out," Brooks said. "Anything to wake people up."

One of the fliers, "How to be Campus Safe," outlines four steps that can be taken to prevent or minimire a crime.

It emphasizes that students should be aware of their surroundings and, in case of an emergency, act in an intelligent, levelheaded manner.

It says that a victim should plan an escape route and memorire the as.c.;ailant's descrip-

are no other agencies out there who've changed their rules that will now pick up the expenses for the rest of the family."

The married student "comes out like a bandit," according to Ingalls. There will be many couples in a high income range that will still be eligible for aid because they are treated like dependent students.

A certain part of their income will be protected by a "standard maintenance" provision, just as the single parent's income is. That provision will be based on the number of people in the household.

Ironically, the married student who starts out with more income than the single-parent student may get just as much financial aid, Judson said.

"We think that's unfair," Ingalls said. "Especially given that we can't help the single parent."

There are non-need based programs (supplemental loans) that the married student in that income range would be eligible for, she added.

Another major change in the law requires that analysis of financial need be based on the previous year's verifiable (base year) income. In prior years, a student could project income for the upcoming academic year.

"This is an absolute major change," Judson said.

People who are working full time now and plan on quitting their jobs to attend college in the fall will not be eligible for financial aid because need will be determined by that previous year's income, she explained.

What about the person who loses a job? Judson recently heard from one such student - the first response at MSC from an unhappy student affected by the law.

Judson explained that although the student lost her job due to a work-related medical disability and currently has no income, she is not eligible under the new regulations.

tion by starting at the head and working down. Victims should look for any unique or unusual characteristics.

The other flier - ''Are You Safe on Campus? We Want to Know!" -advertises open-forum ses.c.;ions in which students can address the committee on their concerns.

The sessions are on the first Tuesday of every month at 2:30 p.m. in Student Center Room 341D. The next ses.c.;ion is May 3.

Because the committee is newly formed, it is looking for feedback from students, Brooks said. The committee wants to hear students' concerns so it has a direction to take.

As well as the fliers, the committee is distnbuting three posters.

"What we are trying to do with these is get people to think," Krebs said.

The posters reiterate the importance of being alert and exercising good judgment.

One of the posters has a drawing of Raymond Burr telling students to report crime to Public Safety.

was the only fair andjust decision that could be made."

However, clouding this determination are charges brought against the election commission to the Judicial Board by Senator Lois Kaness. K.aness' complaint alleges the election commission was derelict in its responsibility to ensure fair elections by allowing distribution of defamatory campaign materials. The Judicial Board, which has final say in student government disputes, was to hear the complaint April 21 and could call for new elections for president and vice president.

'Tm absolutely elated with the decision."

- Bruce DeWitt MSC student president-elect Norton said charges brought to the election commission were dismissed primarily because "hearsay evidence" carries no weight. Merely claiming "so and so told me" wasn't strong enough evidence for the commission, Norton said.

The commission determined that pizza coupons appearing on DeWitt and Sagara's campaign posters only had a cash value of one-twentieth of a cent per coupon, just like grocery coupons. Recently defeated presidential candidate Kelly Martin had charged that DeWitt and Sagara were buying votes with the coupons. Even if 500 coupons were turned in, it would only amount to $2.50, Norton said. · Complaints by Martin and students Steve Bowen, Lisa Moore and Debra Olenski

Recently defeated candld1te Kelly Martin

alleging the defamatory usage of B.S. on campaign posters, were dismissed. Norton said the commission ruled that B.S. was not defamatory toward opposing candidates. He said that B.S. was determined to be "an open-for-interpretation term."

Additional charges by Olenski, who wasn't at the hearing, of "poster switchin.g" and hanging opposing candidates' posters in improper locations were rejected for lack of proof of who did it.

The commission also dismissed student Owen Beaver's complaint of DeWitt standing closer than 30 feet to the voting booth.

Norton said that DeWitt was not distributing leaflets, and there was nothing wrong with "verbal stumping" in a common area such as the Student Center.

Martin said, "I believe the contestations brought to the commission had solid grounds." Not pleased with decisions, she said she may file a complaint with the Judicial Board. o

The new base year requirement is also going to affect the dependent student, according to Ingalls, including the student right out of high school. If that student worked during 1987, that income will be added to the parents' income in the formulas to determine financial aid needs, even if the income and employment situations have changed this year.

Another change in the law is the section regarding "prof~ional judgment."

This is the "real scary part of the law," Judson said.

It allows for financial aid directors to exercise their own discretion and judgment in changing award decisions, but only on a case-by-case basis.

This presents problems because of the large number of applicants and the small staffs.

Ingalls doesn't feel she can fairly provide individual re-evaluations for all the students who may deserve it, simply because of the sheer numbers involved.

And neither does Judson.

Last fall at MSC there were 6,000 applicants for Pell grants and 4,000 applicants for GSLs. The year before, there were only

1,800 applicants for each, she explained.

And, Judson said, the MSC staff simply isn't large enough for them to do the case-bycase analysis she feels will be absolutely necessary. That would mean a counselor seeing each unhappy sudent and getting a statement regarding his or her personal situation. 路 Out of Judson's total staff of 13, including herself, only five are counselors. And that's the same number her office has had since 1980-81.

Judson said she has told the MSC administration she needs at least 13 additional s~ members to accommodate the increasing numbers of applicants and to work effectively within the new federal guidelines.

How many additional staff members she gets and when are big questions for Judson.

However, she said financial aid associa- .,tions across the country have been fobbying strongly in Washington to try to get the formulas changed to be more reasonable.

But congressional members have said that no changes need to be made because they feel financial aid directors can solve these .,. problems by exercising the professional judgment provision. o

Senate squabbles/from pg. 1 (at Auraria), and since I'm the only openly gay senator, I feel I should pursue this matter to let the gay community on this campus know that we aren't willing to be pushed around anymore.

"If I were black, people would stand up and notice this. Since I'm gay, people are trying to shove it under the carpet."

Zoah and K.leg met separately with Dr. Percy Morehouse, director ofEqual Opportunities and assistant to the president April 20 concerning the case.

According to Morehouse, there is nothing legally wrong with Kleg's comments, as it pertains to Affirmative Action. He did, however, state that there is a mechanism through the school that answers to any student who feels his or her civil rights have been violated.

"Any time a student feels his rights have been violated, it is worthy of being answered, -based on our institution's right for students to grieve," Morehouse said. He also did not confirm whether the case could turn into a legal suit.

Morehouse has directed Kleg and Zoah to meet informally with him and the vice president and associate vice president of Student Affairs, Dr. Antonio Esquibel and Dr. David Conde. He is attempting to set the meeting for next week.

K.leg and Zoah said they both anxiously await the meeting.

"I have already written a letter to Mr. Zoah expressing that our responsibility in this matter is to meet and try to resolve our personal differences. As public officials, we should give a uniform appearance to the student body, not a divided one, and should resolve this between ourselves," Kleg said.

Zoah said that while he wants to resolve the matter informally, he will not drop the issue until he feels it has been answered to his satisfaction.

"I want him to apologize to the gay students of Auraria for his statements," Zoah said. "If I don't get what I want, I'll take it further. I'm not going to stand by and let our rights get stomped on."

The next course of action would be an _, officially filed grievance, a step all said they hope to avoid.

And to make matters more complicated, Zoah found a K.leg campaign poster displayed on campus six days after the election. By election rules, all campaign literature must-4. be removed by candidates within five days or they face disqualification.

Zoah subsequently filed his own complaint to the election commission, requesting that K.leg be removed as a senator. And K.leg, initially having thought Zoah planted the . poster, talked to election commissioner and student body President Martin Norton to complain. K.leg then learned that the poster had pin or staple holes in it, as if other literature had been posted over it.

So Kleg presented his own countercomplaint, including the statement that "Norton has "pledged to support me on this issue. Had I seen the poster, I would have removed it."

Norton said he did see thumbtack marks and that it was "probably inadvertently left up.

"It was an honest mistake. I mean, it was just one poster. Yes, I'm going to support him within the election commission," Norton said.

When asked about the homosexuality statement, Norton said he hoped the issue' would stop where it was and that the two senators were learning their lessons. ''In the game of politics, you get more bears with honey than with a shotgun," he said.

In the meantime, amid complaints and , counter-complaints pouring out of student government at the rate of two or three a day, all involved have expressed general disdain at the actions of the others.

And that's the way it is. The first senate meeting is scheduled for April 27. ol r

Editor's note: As this story goes to print, the parties involved are still undecided as to exactly how they plan to resolve this matter.

Peace can join superpowers ~ if nuclear 'suicide' abandoned

0

Jana Cohlmla Assistant Editor

The United States and the Soviet Union have a "suicide pact" and should throw - away their nuclear "membership cards" to forge world peace, a toirlevel Soviet spokesman said April 15 on the Auraria campus.

"We may be rivals, but not enemies," Gennadi Gerasimov, chief spokesman for Mikhail Gorbachev, said. "We are partners • in survival - we have a suicide pact - if one kills, the other will die, too."

Gerasimov, widely thought to be the choice for the next Soviet ambassador to the United States, gave a press conference and later spoke to about 300 people during ,_ Global Awareness Month, sponsored on campus by CU-Denver.

In his speech he stressed that the United States and the Soviet Union should abandon the vision of the two countries as enemies.

He lauded the recent U.S. Soviet treaty ~that will eliminate intermediate-range nuclear forces (INF). He added that a treaty to reduce long-range missiles by 50 percent could be hammered out before President Reagan and Gorbachev meet in Moscow this swruper to sign the INF Treaty.

He said the long-range treaty would bring '" the world one step closer to what Gorbachev hopes will be a "nuclear free" world by the year 2000.

"We must disband the nuclear club (and) throw away our membership cards," he said.

"We are partners In survival - we have a suicide pact - If one kllls, the other will die, too."

- Gennadl Geraslmov

He then displayed his well-known sense of humor, adding: "I understand President Reagan also wants it in his lifetime - so we must hurry."

While these comments were greeted with ' applause from the audience, bis comments on Jews seeking to emigrate from the Soviet Union seemed to irritate the crowd.

He was asked by three audience members why many Jews are forced to remain in the ' Soviet Union. Gerasimov said the number of people wishing to leave has decreased, with only about 1,000 applications per month to emigrate. ''Simply, there are just not as many applications," he explained. < When one woman pressed him further, stating the decrease in applications is likely a result of increased restrictions on those who apply, Gerasimov replied: "Many people who wanted to leave may now want to stay to see how (glastnost) will , change the country they still love."

He also pointed out that once Soviet immigrants reach the United States, they often find it difficult to remain here.

"The gates are not open to this land of milk and honey," he said.

• On the recent decision to withdraw Soviet ~ troops from Afghanistan, Gerasimov said the Soviets would continue supplying military assistance if the civil war there is not ended.

"If the (Afghan) opposition joins the government, then there will be no need to ~ continue military assistance," he said. "But if

Soviet spokesman 6ann1dl Garulmov they're going to continue their secret war that is another matter."

Gerasimov went on to defend Soviet involvement in Afghanistan.

"We went into Afghanistan with good intentions, but maybe this revolution does not have enough local roots to be a real socialist revolution," he said, referring to the rebels' resistance to the communist takeover.

He added that the Soviets learned from their involvement in that civil war. However, be said they don't think of Afghanistan as their "Vietnam."

"We don't like this parallel," he said. "We saw it as a bleeding wound and rm very glad we'll have this one healed."

On the current U.S. presidential campaign, Gerasimov wouldn't name his country's preference for the next president. But be did say the Soviet Union is concerned about losing what he caned the current positive U.S.-Soviet dialogue. . "Our policy is to make sure we have no quarrels in the future and that we not fight," be said. "We don't want to lose this momentum with the new tenants of the White House."

He said U.S.-Soviet problems stem from misunderstanding between the countries.

"We are afraid of you, and you are afraid of us," he said, adding that the fear is mainly based on mistrust.

"We remember the Cold War years, which haunted our country and your country," he said. "We must study history (in order) to not repeat it. We must have a global vision and give priority to overall global problems at the expense of more narrow national problems."

In a lighter vein, Gerasimov charmed the crowd with perfectly timed one-liners, such as when he was asked to compare his job to that of his American counterpart.

"One difference is that I don't put my own words in my boss's mouth," he joked, referring to recent revelations by former White House spokesman Larry Speakes. "I feel sorry for Speakes. He lost a $300,000 a year job, and I'm not sure he can recover o with his book sales." "

The recent decision by the Soviets to withdraw troops from the eight-year AfgbanistanPakistan war will spark more fighting and killing, a Pakistani professor of international relations said April 19 on campus. ''The agreement has marked the final, bloody, messy showdown since the war began (in December 1979)," Syed Rifaat Hus.5ain, a professor at the University of Islamabad, said during a CU-Denver Global Awareness Month conference.

The Afghan rebels have vowed to intensify their acts of aggression despite the peace talks, during which the Afghan regime prohibited their participation.

The slighted rebels, who number 120,000 according to their count, are willing to fight to the end, even ifit means their annihilation, Hussain said.

"They are preparing for an ultimate showdown," he said.

From the hills of Afghanistan to foreign countries in which exiled rebels are living, the resistance ~fighting to topple the Sovietbacked communist regime. The rebels have opposed the political and economic policies of the communists since they invaded the country under the guise of a governmental invitation in December 1979.

And the rebels are struggling for 100 percent control of Afghan's land. The regime wanted to divide the land among the many factions wanting to control the country. But the rebels say the land, which is the size of the state of Texas, is too small to divide, Hus.5ain said.

"Because they cannot settle for part of the pie, they want all of it," he said.

The government decided, partly because of this "all or nothing" attitude, that it would not be able to reason with the rebels.

Therefore they prohibited the guerillas from participating in the peace talks, he said. They

were also excluded because they are not a recogniz.ed party state.

But, he added, the rebels consider themselves a strong faction, so much so that they can smell victory, even though it may be borne out of overconfidence.

And the rebels are prepared to give the departing Soviet troops a vicious time.

Those troops departing by land will have to wind through miles of rugged guerilla territory. It is probably at this time that they will wage their deadliest attack on the Soviet invaders, Hussain said More than 100,000 troops will make their first retreat back into the Soviet Union starting May 15, with the gradual retreat ending ·February 1989.

A Western observer says this withdrawal will be bloody.

"Historically, the Afghans don't let foreigners out easily," he said.

If the rebels do level a major ~ult on the retreating troops, the Soviets will defenck themselves and move on, he said.

Despite any continued fighting in the country, the Soviets plan to pull out in accordance with the peace aggreement, which does not prohibit fighting in the region, Hussain said. The Afghan government feels that the rebels will eventually tire in their struggle and abort their plans.

He added that if the resistance is successful in its fight, the Soviets may return to Afghanistan under the standing invitation the 1979 regime gave them. o

North Classroom called cramped

Room for improvement; tenants say not much else T.J. Hutchinson Reporter

Even for $25 million, you can't always get what you want The new North Classroom, which opened this spring, has not met with open approval by teachers and students using the building.

Dr. Paul Freeburn, a teacher education instructor, said the new building is confusing and that the office space is too crowded and provides no privacy.

"It's like a rat maze mside here," he said.

"All kinds of halls. It's very difficult to find your way around."

He said that many offices - such as his - are shared by two people, and it inhibits the advising of students.

"Students don't like to talk about things with others in the room," he said.

He also said that there is no room for students to wait for their appointments.

Lou Griffith, assistant professor of sociology at CU-Denver, also said the building's offices were crowded and offered no storage space.

"There is absolutely no space in this stupid building for storage," she said. "What they did was build a bunch of walls in an empty warehouse and say, "Here's your offices.'

"Am I supposed to hold my notes up in front of my face?''

Her office requested a sign to be posted so people could find them. She said when it finally came, it was hung in the wrong place, · so they made their own.

Morgan Smith, executive director of AHEC, said the building was a replacement for the East Classroom; it wasn't built to add more space.

"Just because it's new doesn't mean it's' bigger," he said. "The major problem is that the pian was to have better space, not more space."

Smith said the siz.e of the offices was known during the planning stages, and political problems at the state level did not allow , the planners to add space.

"It was clear ... that we were not going to be in a po;ition of luxury," he said.

Smith said blocks of space were assigned to the different institutions, and they were primarily responsible for assigning it inter-~ nally. He also said there was a lot of lastminute movement that has interrupted the posting of signs and the distribution of mail.

"Like any building, there's going to be some problems, and I think our people will work hard to solve them," he said.

CU-Denver freshman Christina Holt f remembered the confusion she and other students. experienced trying to find their classrooms early in the semester.

"Everyone was asking other people for directions in the halls," she said, " and a lot of people were late for cl~."

11 Holt explained that part of the confusion was caused by the numbering of the classrooms.

"It's just like the streets," she said "Even numbered rooms run east and west, and vice versa ... I think. It's awful."

However, CU-Denver junior Tamsen Meyer feels the new building is a welcome addition to the campus.

"I think it's great. I like the fact that they built something that's five years ahead of our time," she 'said. "I like the fact that it is , contemporary. We'll grow into it."

Compared to the East Classroom, Meyer feels the North Classroom is an exceptional alternative.

"With all the windows in the break area, it is nice and bright, and you don't feel like you're locked in an institution."

Meyer did agree that it takes time to find routes through the building, and the po;ting of directions is hard to find, but says she guides herself with landmarks.

"Like the big clocks on the outside of the building," she said "When I see them, I ~ know I've at least found the right place." D

Who ·hasthe ti me to care?-

Being the schizophrenic person that I am, I had this conversation with myself the other day. " So who did you vote for in the last student election?"

Well, uh, I didn't really vote at all. I. ... " Oh, I see. What about the beach party? Did you go to that?"

I got my free ice cream bar and left. It was pretty lame.

"Did you know that we have several teams on campus?"

• Y'mean like basketball and stuff? Yeah , I know. I even went to a couple of games.

"Couldn't get a date on a Friday night, huh."

Well ....

"Have you taken any time at all to involve yourself in this campus?"

What do you mean? I write for the paper. I go to class most of the time. I honked as I drove passed the shantytown the other night. I go drink at the Boiler Room on occasion.

"So, in other words, you're as apathetic as the next guy."

I guess. So what, though? I don't really have the time to care.

I get up in the morning. First, I have to worry about what the stupid weather is going to do. Then there's breakfast.

I live so far away from school, it takes 30 minutes to get here. I must age 10or20years with every mile I drive - I think all the other drivers are out to get me.

I don't even need to say how terrible it is trying to find a place to park. I park so far away I'm gonna ).- need sherpa guides to find the school. I'm looking forward to driving down here over the summer, too (just like I look forward to root canal) .

Even though I've got a class this summer, I'll be graduating in May. The anxiety is killing me. I hate to even think about the two 2,000-word papers I have yet to write.

Dat0$.? I had one of those once. It is a real pain to try and work things around the 40-plus hours at the newspaper, the nine hours of class time and the 16 hours of work on weekends (waiting tables - the thrill of my life) . Commute time? Sleep time? I forgot what my 13-year-old sister looks like.

Deadbeats hurt classes To the students of Metropolitan State College, c/o the Editor: While this letter is addressed to all Hie students at Metro, it is aimed at those students in the School of Business (where my classes are) who continue to waste class time after each test whining that this or that question, or the entire test, was unfair. The r degree of fairnes of the test is directly proportional to the amount of time you study and whether you pay attention during class instead of working crossword puzzles or sleeping.

Instructors should not have to defend themselves just because some students can't work a computa> tional problem. At Duke University, where my wife did her undergraduate work, as long as one person got the right answer, it was a solvable problem and was not thrown out or even discussed during class.

Test discussions lasted 4-5 minutes; here they last up to 30 minutes. At Metro I have seen less than 20 percent of the class demand that a question be -':" thrown out and too often (for me) prevail over the instructor.

Why are these people here? Just to get a piece of paper? I want the degree also, but the knwoledge is what matters. When it comes time for interviews with potential employers, those companies won't be terribly interested in someone who just got by. There is no reason to believe these people will behave differently on the job than they do right now. They impede the learning process, but they do ma~e it easier for me to get A's and also easier to get the best position ,,, being offered in my field when I graduate.

Maybe if those of us who do want to learn became as vocal as those who just want to get by, we could stop most of this non'sense, and maybe even forc'e some of these deadbeats to go elsewhere to "get by."

If they could no longer coerce the instructors into lowering the academic standards to their level of mediocrity, they would have to study or flunk out.

Either way Metro wins.

- Gerry Rhoades MSC Student

day off. Attend dances? Who had time in high school? Write a resume? Hell, I'm gonna sleep 'til Christmas after I get that piece of paper.

Get involved in student government? I don't care what this school does beyond education. Besides, all they do is whine about election results and complain about apathetic students. Sure, some of the folks up there do a hell of a good job and I commend them on their efforts (I'd go up there in person, but hey, who's got the time).

If anyone takes the time to read this ranter, let me know. I'm usually free Thursday mornings between 8:17 and 8:23 a.m.

Apathy party wins election .....

To the Editor: Recently published reports about the outcome of the ASMSC Student Government elections were inaccurate.

In truth , neither Martin/Shea nor the DeWitt/Sagara tickets were the winners. The true winner was Alan C. Chimento, who headed the Apathetic Party Ticket.

Mr. Chimento received 94 percent of the vote. His campaign was not publicized because he knew so few people cared. He incurred no campaign expenses for printed campaign materials, because he realized his supporters would not read it.

The debate sponsors did not invite his participa-

tion in the debate because they knew he wouldn't show up; the debate was scheduled at a time that conflicted with an insignificant appointment.

Mr. Chimento will not be scheduling office hours because so few people would call or stop by.

Besides, he has more important things to do. As Mr. Chimento spoke to three people in his efforts to secure a running mate, but they weren't interested, so he gave up trying to find one.

His unknown campaign slogan was, "I promise nothing, and I will deliver nothing."

Mr. Chimento knew that he would win because "Every vote that was not cast, was cast for me."

Civic- Cen er c John Gegner Reporter

With the strains of Steve Winwood's "Back in the High Life" piercing the coo~ damp, early morning air, 61 bicycle riders nervously readied themselves for the start.

The clock atop the Denver City and County Building struck nine. Soon the blast of the starter's gun and the roar of the bright red pace BMW motorcycle signaled the start and they were off.

Around the first tum, the tightly-bunched cyclists rode, and in just over a minute they returned, whirring by the starting line.

The Civic Center Criterium, sponsored by the MSC Cycling Club, was underway.

Hay bales lashed to the street sign poles on the sharp turns and stacked along the low concrete wall on Colfax served as a reminder of the dangers and the speed Coors cycling banners hung along the west side of Bannock, and bunting stretched along the parking meters the entire length of the block.

About 100 spectators and cycling enthusiasts roamed throughout the park for a better vantage point. Spits of rain began to fall and the music continued to pour from the speakers in front of the race desk.

The trees in the park were bedecked in full springtime blossom. The faded orange stripe along 14th Street was but a faint reminder of the Bronoos parade last February.

A downed racer stood by his bike shivering in the cold, blood trickling from his knee. He stared blankly at the street, pondering his misfortune before putting on his sweats.

Morning gave way to afternoon, and the sky grew heavier. Just after the start of the fourth and final race, the drizzle began.

Spectators huddled under trees and umbrellas, or took refuge among the colonnades of the Voorhees Memorial at the north end of the park.

But the cyclists raced on, scarcely slowing down on the rain-slicked streets. Sunday museum-goers glanced briefly at the race in curiosity before scurrying into the Art Museum.

On the course, drama was building.

Metro's Ed Price, an Olympic hopeful, was riding third in the lead pack of five, comfortably positioned for his final sprint.

With just under five laps to go, Price hit a downed bike, and went down himself.

Despite remounting and a gallant close, he finished a lap behind in second to last place. Price's appeal to be given a free lap was disallowed.

After the final gun, the rains came down heavier. Racers rode to their cars or vans to load their bikes and equipment. Spectators filtered out of the park. Police removed the road barricades, and soon motorists drove where cyclists had ridden.

Back at the race tent, Terry Trieu, club president, and Robin Hamm, race coordinator, could gloat. The First Annual MSC Cycling Club Civic Center Criterium had been a great success.

Winners in the event were: Chris Merriam of Colorado College in the Men's A race; Mark Berghoefer of the University of Colorado in the Men's B race; Missy Child ofthe University ofColorado in the Women's race; and Steven Stout in the Citizen's race.

Hamm said she was very pleased with the outcome of the event. She said next year she plans to attract a bigger crowd with food and o arts and crafts booths.

Profiles Dave Beech Reporter You look sweet upon the seat of a bicycle built for two ...

Though they may not have a bike built for two, brothers Eddie and Adam Price do manage to cycle around together.

Both are enrolled at Metro: Eddie, 24, is a journalism major, and Adam, 21, is business major. Both race bikes competitively. And both have excellent shots at making the U.S. National Cvcling Team.

"Cycling has. been a family thing tliat the boys have expanded on," their mother, Mona, said.

The Price family started riding together on trips in 1976.

Their father, Mike, took the family on its first cycling trip from Alamosa to Santa Fe after a business trip. Other business trips took the family to Egypt, Greece and the Netherlands, where they toured the countryside on bikes.

Over the years, through dedication and goal setting, Eddie and Adam have improved, but both attnbute their interest and succes.s in racing to the family's cycling trips.

"Instead of sitting in front of the television on Sundays, we'd¡au be out riding bikes or backpacking or something," Adam said.

The family still gets together occasionally for rides, but Eddie and Adam quickly leave their parents behind.

"Adam always liked to go down hills so fast," Mona said. "Now they are both so much faster."

She said the boys have always been close, but became closer four years ago when their parents moved to Holland.

Mike Price is a geologist for Mobil Oil. Their parents are now back in Denver, but the brother said they learned a lot when their folks were gone.

"They packed up and said, 'Take care of the house, the car and the dog.' That was in '84 when we first started racing," Eddie said.

Now their lives revolve around cycling so much that they are constant companions.

Metro's Eddie Price takes a corner. Missy Child experiences the thrill of victory. Anybody can race, lncludlng Met reporter Pat Cleary, who finished last.

"We have a good relationship," Eddie said. "Having _]\dam there is a plus. He's someone I can count on." ' Eddie described their relationship as being best friends first and brothers second.

"We live together, attend the same school and ride on the same team ___: the Front Range Velos," Eddie said.

While most think of cycling as an individual sport, the Price brothers disagree. They said there is a strategy involved. Last September, Adam won the Collegiate Track Cycling Championship in Colorado Springs. Adam said he could not have won the title without Eddie.

"Eddie sacrificed a top three finish for me," Adam said.

He explained that Eddie rode hard at the beginning of the race, wearing out the other riders, while Adam held off and ronserved energy. At the end of the race, Adam had the strength to w:'n.

In head-to-head competition between the two, Eddie has had 80 percent of the first place finishes. Adam said this year should be more interesting. He hopes to win more races and limit Eddie to 60 percent of the first place finishes.

"On the track I'm stronger, but on the road Eddie is better," Adam said. "He's the better sprinter and a better hill climber."

Eddie said Adam was a "natural talent" on the track. ''The first track race he was in, he won," Eddie said.

Nevertheless, both were invited to and attended a developmental camp for the national team at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs Jan. 20 through March 20. The camp consisted of 40 elite riders from around the country all trying to catch the eye of the national coaches. At the camp, the coaches reviewed the riders' progress and training techniques.

The Prices follow an "Eastern European" training regiment that involves riding for 300 miles a week.

Now their goal is to qualify for the national team trials in August. The top six riders from each state will be involved in the trial races. From the national team, three riders will be selected for the Olympic team.

Both say that while the Olympic team may be out of reach for now, a spot on the national team is a realistic goal

Adam's time in the one kilometer race at last year's Collegiate Championship was 1:08, a time that should be good enough to get him on the national team.

"My time is in the top five (in the nation). All sorts of guys can do about the same time," Adam said. "But I'm pretty confident that I'll be in the top five."

Adam won two out of five events at the championships and finished second in the other three.

"It didn't matter who was there," Adam said. "I was going to win."

Eddie hasn't won any national titles yet, but he expects to.

He has won a number of races, the last a race up Golden Gate Canyon on April 2.

But Adam won't be winning any races in the next month.

He is sidelined with a broken collarbone and rib. He crashed his bike in race at Moab, Utah, April 10.

Even his injuries could not keep him away from a bike race, though. He was at the Denver Civic Center Criterium Sunday cheering on his best friend and brother. o

teach and coach," Bryan said. "I finally have the time to do it. This is not a midlife crisis."

Bryan, a student senator, is majoring in secondary education with an emphasis in physical education. In his earliery ears, he played baseball, basketball, football and boxed. His desire is to one day teach and coach P.E. in an inner-city high school preferably in the Denver area. He hopes to graduate in 1Y.z years.

Born and raised in Denver, he lived across the street from St. Elizabeth's Church. He attended the church's grade school, now the campus' St. Francis Interfaith Center.

After high school at St. Francis de Salles in Denver, Bryan studied for the priesthood at St. Benedict's College in Atcheson, Kan., but couldn't complete his studies.

"I had an interest in women that I couldn't quite shake, so celibacy was not one of the virtues I wanted to explore," Bryan said with a chuckle.

For 19 years, he worked for the Department of Agriculture as a meat and poultry inspector.

"That was my real job," Bryan said. "The other job I had was coaching various sports, Little League sports through high school, and working with kids, including my own."

I m anxious - I m looking forward to it," Bryan smiled. "I'm ready to be a grandparent."

At MSC, Bryan serves on the Student Activities Board (SAB) and the Financial Affairs Committee (FAC). He is also the coordinator of the MSC Lecture Series. As a newly-elected senator, he plans to be involved in the MSC student government until be graduates in 1989 or 1990.

"I wanted to be a student senator because it gave me the opportunity to get back into the main flow of civilian politics," Bryan ·said. "And it gives me the opportunity to be a part of and work with some very bright future leaders.

"It also gives me the opportunity to know what's going on on this campus so I can help give that information to my classmates and fellow students."

Bryan is very dedicated to getting MSC students information about student activities. He usually spends about 10 hours a day on campus.

"Students continually come in for information on activities, lectures, clubs and organizations," Bryan said. "And if they have a question concerning things that are· happening at school I generally have that information or I'll get it for them. It's great interaction. I enjoy it."

Bryan also said he enjoys the work be does with student government and the committees on which he serves.

"The Financial Affairs Committee oversees the student government budget and tries to keep it in line with what's granted from the SAB," Bryan said. The SAB allocates student fee monies to the various studentfee-funded programs. "I think that's very exciting to see where and how student fees are spent.

"Along those lines, I ask my classmates and constituents where they feel their money should be spent. And I bring those ideas and desires to the boards."

As Lecture Series coordinator, Bryan also takes suggestions from students, faculty, staff and administrators for presentations. He heads a committe of 12 that decides who to bring on campus. Students can bring suggestions to the Student Activities office in the Student Center.

When choosing a speaker, the committee looks for someone who will enhance the students' education and entertain them at the same time, he said.

• Dannis Bryan

"My charge as student coordinator for the Lecture Series is to have as many varied lecturers as we can at no charge to the students," Bryan said.

In 1987, be brought, among others, women's activist Sonia Johnson and hunger specialist Dr. Larry Johnson. This year, Bryan's been responsible for Rick Smolen of the Day in the Life of America (co-sponsored

by CU-Denver) presentation and educational activist and former MSC student Craig Bowman, who spoke during Black Awareness Month. The presentations are free, specifically to encourage attendance.

Although Bryan encourages student participation at every level, he does not think there is much students can do about the parking problem, the thing he likes the least about MSC. "AHEC is working on solutions that I don't think I will see in my lifetime as a student here," Bryan said. "They have very little alternatives to work with, and I understand their dilemma.

"However, I think working closer with RTD to make more bus routes available to students at a lower cost would be beneficial to the students during this time of construction and repair and disrepair," he said. Bryan rides RTD to school.

Alternately, Bryan said the best thing about MSC is the accessibility to the profes· sors. '"There have been times when I have needed additional help and they have always been available for me," Bryan said. "They've always been open. The ones that I've had so far have been open to suggestions, very considerate and very helpful.

"And the other thing I like about Metro," Bryan continued, " is that I have the opportunity to study alongside young adults who are very serious in attaining an education, not by rote, but by actually synthesizing the information and understanding and are willing to go into the public and transfer that information and understanding to the younger population," through the educational system. o

Kim Halverson Reporter

Highly motivated MSC students who demonstrate academic aptitude and dedication to learning may be interested in the MSC honors program, which challenges students, to do intense, interdisciplinary honors-level work.

The honors program, created in September 1987 by Dr. Alain Ranwez, isn't for the passive student. A lot of hard work is involved. But the benefits surpass the classroom level.

"The honors students are much more sought after because they are more disciplined, strive harder to succeed, show they are not afraid of the intensity of work, are self-motivated and self-taught, creative and willing to engage in more academic activities," Ranwez said.

James McDonough, an MSC honors student, said that for each hour he spends in class, he will spend up to five hours studying in addition to the normal reading and writing assignment.

For example, in the Legacy of Arts and Letters, an honors course in classical literature, if the assignment is to read the novel Lord Jim, McDonough will also read a biography of the author, Joseph Conrad. ·u1 am dedicated and have the initiative and desire to understand the origin of the author's ideas and then give this work of art

honors courses in womens studies, science and art.

There aren't enough honors courses to get a degree with honors, but Ranwez sees that possibility in the future.

At a March 30 honors council meeting, William Mech, executive secretary-treasurer of the National Collegiate Honors Council, emphasized that students would especially benefit from the honors program and recommended recruitment of honors students.

Ranwez said that the MSC honors council employs a fleXIble admission policy to include students who might not fit the traditional academic framework. The council selects applicants using a combination of factors, such as high school performance, SAT or ACT test.scores, writing samples, letters of recommendation and an oral interview. students through letters, speeches and symposiums.

But he didn't forget MSC's unusual campus make-up.

"MSC bas 17,000students,and 70percent of them are non-traditional students with a wide range in age, ethnic background, ability and preparation," Mech said "An honors program is a necessity in this situation."

"It takes this kind of effort to be In an honors class and by putting more effort In, you get more out.''

- James McDo_ n ough MSC Honors student sufficient credit, effort and thought," McDonough said. "It takes this kind of effort to be in an honors class and by putting more ·effort in, you get more out."

An indicator of the program's significance is that national surveys prove that even a Bin an honors course is valued more than an A in a traditional course.

Presently, the honors program bas six general study areas: English, modem languages, philosophy, music and theater. The program was expanded after other interested departments submitted honors course proposals. By fall the program will also offer

••

Presently, only 14 students are members ~f the honors program. But anyone who has personal commitment to do honors-level work may take an honors course without being an official member. For more information about the program, call Ranwez o at 556-4865 or stop by R0-107.

Media sens sleaze?

Judith Henrickson Reporter

When Dr. Akbarali Thobhani said quietly that the panel would answer a few questions, a woman near the front ofthe sparse audience motioned toward Greg Pearson.

"Professor Pearson, I disagree that the American public only wants to read sleaze. I don't want sleaze," she said indignantly. "I subscribe to many newspapers and magazines and I think only about a third of what I read in the local papers is valuable. My friends Ind I write letters to the editors. They don't listen to what we want. What are we supposed to do?"

Aashing her a quick smile, Pearson grabbed the microphone as if he were going to assault it with his mouth.

"Well, then you're not one of the sleaze. bags," he said.

The reassuring grin faded as he returned quickly to an intense posture to reiterate his point.

"Editors do listen," he said. "They want to hear what you have to say. The Ameriean press shares in the blame, but the American public doesn't want quality journalism. They want sleaze. They love sleaze."

Greg Pearson, MSC journalism professor, was one of three _panelists who spoke at the World Issues Forum Apnl 14 in the Student Center. Craig Matsuda, an editor at The Denver Post, and Dr. Cedric Tarr, MSC political professor, addressed various topics surrounding the role of mass media in the contemporary world.

The two-day forum, sponsored by the Institute for lntercultural Studies and Servi-

ces, was organiud to "heighten awareness and understanding of the ideas and perspectives that have an impact on the contemporary world." Participants addressed issues ranging from AIDS to English as the official language.

Pearson's topic, "American Press Coverage about the Third World," covered many aspects of problems faced by journalists as well as the state of the media industry in general. He cited the tendency of the press to only cover events that have a "gee-whiz angle" as a major problem.

"We (the press) cover events by crisis; we don't see problems until there are bullets flying," he said. "If the media were doing its job, we would know what's going on before it happens ... whtle they're developing. We need to be told ahead of time what's happening by people who understand the language, the culture and problems."

Although he considers the American press responsible for what is covered, he said the main fault lies not with the government or the press, but with the public.

"We don't know what's going on because the American people don't demand to know.

They don't read anything," he said vehemently. "We're an ethnocentric culture. If it directly relates to Americans, we'll get involved. If not, we don't. Issues like food and population in Ethiopia aren't sexy issues. But once we have pictures of the bodies of starving people, then it's a story."

He said the shrinking competition in American cities between newspapers, lack of access to information in some foreign countries, lazy journalists and the prolifera-

Fool's gold mars quest for precious 'nuggets' Peggy Raab Reporter You would think that a female student, young and not unattractive, such as myself, would not have trouble, at this 30,000student mecca of higher education, finding like-minded, not unattractive men for dating purposes. Especially considering the added visibility atiorded me by working in the Metro Student Activities office, one of the more highly-trafficked areas of the campus.

But NO, this is not the case. Even after, oh, six or seven years of visibility in said office, and countless hours spent in countless classes ranging from physics to psychology to accounting to art history, the elusive "datable" man has yet to rear his not unattractive

head Oh sure , there are men that have been interested in spending time with me-A WT of time with me, but somehow, to consider these men as possible dating companions seems equivalent to considering Fred Flintstone as the father of my children. That is to say, the "datable" man, by my definition, includes someone preferably human, with an IQ above 30, control over most of his bodily functions and a life ambition that includes more than setting the record for the highest number of sexual conquests in the history of mankind.

Just to ·be fair, I know these little gems exist. I know women that possess these precious nuggets of masculinity. I even know a few personally, not suprising since I spend a lot of time seeking them out (shhh)! But alas, they are as unattainable as acquiring the body ofBridgett Neilson by the time I'm 30.

This, of course, is due to the flaws, though minor, that throw a major wrench into the picture. These flawed men either have wives or girlfriends, insurmountable emotional devastation due to recent loss of a girlfriend, the "not interested in a relationship while I'm pursuing my own personal benefit through the attainment of a degree" syndrome, homosexuality, or most predominantly, lack of interest.

Occasionally, I'll think to myself, "Ah, but there are other potentially datable men in the real world, outside of Auraria, that is.

I11 go to Neo's or Rock Island, or even the Denver Art Museum's Top of the Week."

Stupidly I think this, totally blocking out all of the other disappointing, frustrating, disgusting, nauseating experiences with various slobbering carnivores who frequent such places (those very persons referenced previously in this space).

The scenario is the same, only instead of sitting at my desk in the office or in class, areas which are always well-lit and we all wear our real clothes, I'm sitting in a dark cave-like atmosphere, where we're all dressed like Barbie and Ken and "let's go to bed" sounds like "pets always shed," to which I readily agree. At least in the day, I know what I'm agreeing to (or not).

But hey, tomorrow is another day, and I'll begin again my tireless task, donning my "little miner's helmet and tossing my pickax over. my shoulder, fervently digging away through the mountains of sludge, both here at school and in the real world, for I know my little nugget is there, somewhere. I'm not even talking the unmentionables: long-term relationship, commitment, marriage (gasp!).

I'm talking a friend, a male companion, a like-minded, not unattractive man. Someday, I'll find my gem, my mother-lode.

Someday, 111 find him.

tion of foreign propaganda in the United States all contribute to the problems with mass media.

"Other countries hire the best public relations firms, who are very sophisticated about selling what's going on in the world to U.S. citizens," he said. "And public relations is diametrically opposed to what the press should be doing. It is absolutely vital in a democratic society that we have unbiased information to make rational, informed decisions. "'The American press has forgotten, with all the teehnological advances, that we are not only in the business of transmitting information. We are also in the business of explaining and educating."

Matsuda spoke about the problems facing minorities in the media industry.

"When it comes to media and minorities, it's bad," he said. "We do not (proportionately) represent the people we cover. Only 5.8 percent of all journalists are minorities."

Matsuda said people in the industry have to do more to get young people and minorities involved and actively educate the people who will be consumers. A lack of networking, specifically for minorities, is particularly essential to their success in the media industry.

He said one of the questions people often ask is how the media determines what is newsworthy.

"As an editor, all we can do is look into our own human experience and judge whether it is or isn't," he said.

He also cited the lack of interest in reading newspapers as a major problem.

"But the newspapers still set the agenda for what is news every day on television," he said.

Tarr, who addressed media and politics, said the impact of television has effectively changed the political realm and will continue to. o

----SPORTS----Roadrunners fmish third in baseball tourney Robert Ritter Associate Editor

Last weekend proved to be a streaky one for the MSC men's baseball team. No, they didn't all run around in their birthday suits or sing verses from a popular Ray Stevens song.

The Roadrunners won three games in a row then lost the next three to finish third in the three-day (April 15-17), seven-team Denver Metro Tournament.

Metro, 18-15 overall, started strong with an 11-7 win over the University of Northern Colorado.

"We played great against UNC," head coach Bill Helman said. "And we got a strong pitching performance from Mike Acre."

The win was the first of the year for Acre, 1-2, who got help from Rusty Befus' sixth home run and Scott Dreman's three singles.

George Reilly, 2-1, turned in his strongest pitching performance of the year in the next game, a 12-0 rout of Colorado College.

"Reilly struck out 12 in six innings. He finally threw like we know he's capable o~" Helman said.

Reilly's offensive help came from Erik Vessey, who hit his team-leading eighth homer along with two singles, and Dave Gudridge's seventh home run.

Another strong pitching performance followed, this one from staff ace Mike N~­ baum, who pitched Metro to a 5-3 win over Regis.

N~baum didn't let a bout with hayfever or a blister on his throwing hand stop him from raising bis record to 5-1.

After the win over Regis, Helman may have wished the Roadrunners were singing Ray Stevens' lyrics instead of continuing in the tournament.

"We went to (play the Colorado School of) Mines feeling pretty good. I warned 'em about Mines. They were just sitting there waiting to upset teams," Helman said about the trip to Golden.

An upset is exactly what transpired as the Orediggers let Metro get ahead 6-2 after four

innings. But two MSC errors in the fifth inning translated into five Mines' runs and a 7-6 CSM lead.

In the top of the seventh, Metro trailed 9-8 with one man on and two out, and Helman described the play-by-play.

Lady racqueteers redefine success Lance Wiiiiamson Reporter

Success can't always be measured in the number of matches a tennis team wins.

Sometimes success is defined in different terms.

Such is the case with the MSC women's tennis team.

The women are 4-9 overall and have had a difficult time filling the squad for the nine matches played each meet.

"But we (have) bad an extremely successful season in other ways," says head coach Boots O'Brien. "When I took over the team only five weeks ago, we had only four players. Now we have enough to fill every match, and we have no forfeits."

O'Brien replaced Joe Boyd, who resigned because he had too many other commitments. And she brought with her a heap of enthusiasm.

"We've come a long way in a short time," she says. "We've filled our courts, and we

have won some matches this year. We beat Mesa College and Regis."

Filling the courts is success for O'Brien, and she says she fills them with players who aren't typical of other women's teams, "It's a real interesting team, not like others. Shoot, I've got three members that have children. Not many other teams can say that." ' Last Friday (April 15), O'Brien took her unique squad to face the University of Northern Colorado women. The Roadrunners lost all nine matches, but O'Brien said they still played well.

"We played nine matches, six singles and three doubles, and lost all," she says. "But they were all good, competitive matches.

"Teresa Dowling, our number two (singles) player and kind of team captain, played into a tie breaker in her first set. She lost, but she played hard and well and was ~xciting to watch."

Dowling, at 7-6, and number one singles player Lori Roe, at 7-5, led the team with

the best individual records. Roe and Pat McCulloh, the number one doubles team, have the best doubles record at 5-7.

On Saturday the women traveled to the Air Force Academy, but again dropped all nine matches.

"We didn't do so well again down at the Air Force," she says. "But again, we had players on the court for each match."

And a five-match losing streak hasn't dampened O'Brien's enthusiasm.

"We are an up-and-coming team and have lots of plans for the future. We have scholarships and I want to attract more players and see that the deserving tennis players get one."

Before looking ahead to next year, though, the Roadrunners still have to host the Continental Divide Conference tournament all day April 23 and 24.

And as a season finale, they will host the women from Northeast Junior College at 2:30 p.m. on April 26. o

'Runners take third

MSC volleys to fifth place in collegiate tennis showcase Lance Wllllamson Reporter

...

The Colorado Collegiate Tennis Tournament came off last weekend without a hitch.

All 108 matches.

MSC hosted the nin~team tournament last Friday and Saturday, April 15 and 16.

Color~ State University took the tournament er wn with 78 points.

The niversity of Northern Colorado finished second, followed by the Colorado School of Mines, the University of Southern Colorado, MSC, the University of Denver and Regis College. Colorado College and Mesa State College tied for eighth place.

"CSU is a very strong, deep team," said MSC tennis coach John Arntz. "They are probably looked upon as the best team, and they sure showed it in the tournament."

MSC's fifth-place finish was not quite what Arntz had expected, but be was nontheless pleased with his team's performance.

"I had hoped to finish in the top four, but USC sneaked into the fourth spot," Arntz said. "We beat USC soundly once this year, but I guess they just got good draws in the match-ups. Our guys played well though, and made a good showing for the school."

Individual winners were a warded medals, instead of the usual trophies, in honor of tennis being an Olympic sport this year.

Medals went to the champion and runnerup in six singles and three doubles events.

There was also a consolation round for players who only lost in the first round.

Medals were given to both the champion and the runner-up of the consolation round also.

MSC's best performance was given by Brian Osborn, who won the number five singles consolation championship.

"Brian played very well," Arntz said. "It was a good tournament for him. He's played well all year and has been in a lot of close matches, but just come up a little short. I was pleased for him."

MSC is wrapping up their season this week and next, Arntz said.

"We dropped a make-up match Monday, April 18, to UNC, the second best team in the tournament," Arntz said. They beat us pretty badly, 8-1."

Jeff Cline, who plays in the number two singles spot, owns the team's best individual record 12-5. And as half of the number one doubles team, he and Steve Nash, who plays number one singles, own the best doubles record at 13-3.

The Roadrunners, 11-14 overall, will host DU on April 22 starting at 2 p.m.

They finish the season next week with the Air Force Academy and Northeastern Junior College. o

Metro's Steve Nash displays the form behind his powerful aerve.

"Gudridge blasted one as hard as he could. In any other field it would have been out, but Mines' field goes on forever," Helman said of the final out.

Thingsdidn'tgetanybetteras the University of Denver beat Metro for the first time in five games this season by a 9-6 score. Metro's Anthony Cortez took the loss to even bis record to 3-3 despite Befus' seventh homer and Torin Berge's two doubles.

The Roadrunners finished the tourney by dropping an 11-4 decision to Fort Hays (Kan.) in a game Helman felt Metro was never in.

"Fort Hays got four runs in the top of the first, and that was all they needed," he said.

"It took us out of our game."

Berge continues to lead the team in hitting with an incredible .495 average, while Nussbaum's 2.83 ERA is a team best as are Gudridge's 42 RBI. An important stretch of the Roadrunners' schedule is next as they travel to DU for a doubleheader on April 23 starting at noon.

The next day they host Regis for another noon doubleheader.

Then they play DU at Mile High Stadium in the Second Annual Mile High Cup. The Cup matches the two teams with the best record (by April 14) among Metro, Regis, DU and Mines. Last year Metro routed DU 10-2. The game is scheduled to start at 4:30 p.m. following the Denver Zephyrs-Indianapolis Indians Triple A contest. o

Remember your school lunch box? Little metal box clutched tightly in your sweaty little hand. Remember what was in it? Big baloney on white bread with mayo. One small, bruised apple. Remnants of an unnameable cookie destroyed by the ride.

Thermos of room temperature milk.

Not at all what you'll find in our lunch box.

In ours resides a slice of Rocky Rococo Pan Style Pizza. Fresh . Hot. Fast.

Cheesy, saucy, chewy , crunchy. A celebration for your mouth . A cu linary carouse. A box full of lunch . No baloney.
