Metro may lose over $2 million if voters pas$ Amendment Six Gabrielle Johnston News Editor

Metro risks losing $2 million and even more money through budget cuts if "'"" · Amendment Six, which would require public vote on all tax increases, is ~ In addition, the amendment would repeal any tax increases implemented in 1988 that were not approved by the voters. Therefore, Metro would lose any money received from the state that was a result of a tax increase. .... · Raising tuition would also require voter approval, as this is considered a tax increase. H Amendment Six is passed, the state will have to make budget cuts in all areas of spending, and Metro will have to make at least a 6-percent cut in its budget ~ MSC President Dr. Thomas Brewer said he strongly opposes the amendment "Overall, it would devastate this state," he said Karen Thorpe, assistant vice president of student affairs, said the average voter is not • _ informed enough about all the issues to - make wise decisions on taxes. She said, generally, people are not concerned about the tax, but rather with the fact that they will lose more money. "Nobcxly wants their taxes raised," she

said. ''The cut on that is you lose your service." Hthe amendment is passed, any construction taking place on campus using state funds also could be canceled. This would include the parking structure and the construction on the Physical Education Building as well as the plans to install air conditioning and heating in the classrooms. "It could affect our whole budget," Brewer said. "We believe we're underfunded anyway." Those in favor of the amendment argue that it would increase the incentive for public officials to manage tax dollars more effectively. It would also control state spending by prohibiting it without voter approval, except in an emergency. Student government is opposed to Amendment Six, and has organi7.ed a rally to inform students about the problems with the amendment The rally will be held Monday, Oct. 31, and will include a speech by ·· Gov. Roy Romer. The theme of the rally is "Amendment Six is Scarier than Halloy.reen." "We hope to increase the awareness of students, and subsequently their families and friends to the pitfalls of Amendment Six," said Student Government Chief ofStaff Dan Becker. D

The MSC men's basketball team is respoDSI"ble for more than three-fourths of the near-$100,000 deficit accumulated by the Intercollegiate Athletics Department. According to a revised fund balance statement, the men's basketball account ran up a two-year debt of $75,659 - seven times greater than the next highest debtor team. Until discovered during an investigation by The Metropolilan, the basketball account showed a 1987-88 fiscal year balance of $4,132. After revising and correcting the figures, the account revealed a 1988 debt of

more than $41,000. That combined with the 1987 deficit of $34,504, pushes the total two-year deficit over the $75,000 mark. Intercollegiate sports was the only student-fee funded area where budget inaccuracieswerefound,accordingtoNatalieLutes of MSC's budget office. On Oct. 1O, MSC President Thomas Brewer announced he would order the release of $78,000 to $80,000 in state fund reserves to clear up the intercollegiate athletics debt. But before the discrepancies were uncovered, the budget books sho\Ved that the men's ~etball account grew at the expense of other teams. Women's basketball first showed that it had overspent its 1987-88

budget by more than $2,200. After the figures were adjusted, the team's account revealed a year-end balance of $756. The baseball team, which had only carried a debt of $344, bad been originally charged with a deficit of $2,394. The $2,000-plus difference also found its way into the basketball account. Even the women's swim team, with a budget of $3,300 - the lowest of MSC's teams - had a bookkeeping error that put it more than $400 in the hole. The actual balance was $285 in the plus column.

Students to vote on gymnasium overhaul · Gary Salvuccl Reporter

On Nov. 15-17, Auraria students will decide whether to adopt the Physical Education Recreation Referendum, a $3.45 million plan to remodel and expand the PE Building for greater use as a center for recreation and activities. According to the referendum, students would have an additional $13.50 a semester added to their facilities and service fees to pay construction expenses. Auraria students currently pay $21.00 per semester for the fee. Students will not pay the additional fee

until construction is finished, and graduating students will not have to pay for a facility they will not be able to use. Dick Feuerborn, :Auraria Higher Education Center director of campus recreation, said that this is significantly less than students at CU-Boulder and CSU pay. CU-Boulder students pay $314.40 per year in similar fees and CSU students pay $347.30, according to the Colorado Commission on Higher Education. Feurbom said expansion of the PE Building is needed to fill students' recreational demands. "Recreation as an activity has grown in the last 10 years," Feuerborn said. "All

acceptable women's lockers are full. The fact of the .matter is, we're saturated." Feuerborn insisted that although much of the new construction would be for gymnasiums and weightrooms, the intent of the construction is not just for workout addicts. "I wouldn't support the idea if it were only for PE," Feuerborn said. He explained that the new acoustically sealed gymnasium would be used as an alternative site for classes when the main gymnasium was needed for an event The thrust of the plan is to expand and improve the gymnasium as a site for entertainment events, political events and condnued on page a

In all, nine of the 11 varsity teams bad been charged with spending more than they actually did. Harry Gianneschi, vice president of institutional advancement and the administrative overseer of the athletic department, admitted that the sports program has been operating at a deficit. continued on page 14

Well, all right! A few people in student government decided enough was enough and went 'and--took a step forward.'

"There is no anticipation that the $13.50 would be required after the 20 year issue of the bond," Hansen said.

Parking tickets rake in $$ source for the campus. It is, however, anticipated for the budget. On the average, 2,000 drivers receive parking tickets monthly on the Auraria Campus, according to Assistant Parking Director Mark Gallagher. Gallagher said it's unfortunate, but everyone bas to pay for P'1'kin& -one way or · another. "Parking is self-supporting," Gallagher said "We're still repaying bonds that initially paid for these parking lots. Everyone has to contnbute to that effort. "We enforce all the lots on campus, and the metered area on Ninth Street south," he said. "We write citations as an issue of fairness. It comes down to the fact that if you and I are paying for parking, and someone else isn't, we're subsidizing them."

Although $250,000 is collected yearly in fines, it is not considered a primary revenue

"Any auxiliary money that we have, is spent on what we do," Gallagher said. "We run pretty close to a balanced budget. When we have excessive revenue, there is a parking reserve fund for repair and replacement." Gallagher said the money from.the parking and replacement fund, besides going for regular maintenance, will also be dedicated to the new parking garage, currently in planning stages. The Parking Office is a separate entity from the Public Safety Office, but Public Safety writes citations as well. The main responsibility, however, falls on the Parking Office, according to Gallagher. Other Parking Office services include the Handivan ride, which transports students with disabilities, and the Night Express, which takes evening students from their_ classrooms to their cars. D

On his way to work one day, Tony Conti• zano saw a group of protesters at the state Capitol. There were about 15 of them. All men. Some wore flannel shirts, faded jeans and work boots. Others were dr~ in thrt»piece suits. Each carried a sign or waved a placard: "Equal rights for fathers," read one. "Mothers aren't the only parent," declared another. Contizano was caught up in the kindred spirit and took a place in the marching circle of men. He was handed a sign: "Fathers are people, too." At 32, MSC student Contizano may or may not be the typical portrait of a single father. He's an Army veteran - one of the last Gls in Vietnam - and was wounded later while part of a United Nations task force on Cypress in 1976. Last summer, after completing his first year-at Metro and seeing off his 7-year-old daughter for her summer visit with her mother, Contizano traveled as a civilian observer with both government and guerrilla soldiers in Central America. He hopes to return next summer and write about what he

sees. But in the meantime, Contizano concentrates his energy and interest on his studies as a communications major, his three part-time jobs and, most of all, his blue-eyed, flaxenhaired daughter Rachel. "I'm getting ready for her right now," he said. ''She's still with her mother, but she'll be back with me in a few weeks. "I'm a bit apprehensive," he said. "I'm not

sure how she'll be when she returns. Will her tastes in food be the same? Will she have different tastes in clothes? And me. Will she think differently about me? I hope things will fall back into place." Contizano and his ex-wife have a joint custody agreement, and his contact with Rachel is limited while she lives with her mother. But for two years, Contizano raised Rachel on his own. "It was kind of fun- and strange, too," he said. "You suddenly find yourself with a 4-year-old - bathing her, brushing her hair and buying little girls' clothes. "And when you have a little girl, and you're out in public, and she has to go to the bathroom, what do you do? I had to ask ladies passing by if they'd take Raebel for me. One very pretty lady said that was the best line she had ever heard," he said. Contizano also reallied that he had to transcend the line that separates rules and roles of the sexes. "I come from strict, Old· World Italian beliefs," he said. "I had to er~ the barrier of what's a man's job and what's a woman's job. I settle:<! on what's a parent's job." So Contizano goes to PTA meetings and Brownie Girl Scout outings, cooks meals from a weekly menu he designs and carries a stack of coupons whenever he and Rachel shop for groceries. Plus, he has the chores of extra laundry, buying extra treats, shopping for a growing child's shoes and clothes, as well as taking messages from every friend to whom his daughter gives her phone number. All this, he said, consumes the time and crimps the lifestyle of the working single parent who

also happens to be going to school Conti:zano is taking 18 credit hours this semester• and has a 3.78 grade point average. And he does his socializing on campus and his entertaining at home. Although he seldom goes out, Contizano said being on campus puts him in tune with all the free events around town. He cited free - · days at Denver's wo, museums and botanical garden, as well as special children's events that get less notice in the bigger newspapers. "You have to keep your eyes and ears open. And you have to make an effort," he ~ said. That effort includes what Contizano called dispelling the myth about fathers who don't care.

"As a single father, you're under more scrutiny than a single mother, because of the stereotype of the divorced man," he said. "But you get caught up in it yourself. You wonder: 'Am I raising her the right way? Am I doing the right thing? Should I let her mother have her?' But then I think: I'm watching a little human being grow up. I watched her handwriting change from • printing. "When I was married, I didn't see her grow as much. Now I'm an integral part of her life. I'm IT. There's no buffer zone [between us]," he said. Contizano pulled two photographs from his wallet Both were of Rachel - soft, " warm smile and radiant blue eyes. "You know, my country taught me how to kill," he said. "My daughter taught me how to love. No matter how bad things are, when you're a paient, you know that you:re needed." 0 ;

Mom saves time at home for chi·ld Cherlf Wehbe Reporter

Today she was a clerk, student and president of a student organi1:ation. And at 9:30 p.m., she settles into bed and looks over at what gives her the most important title her 3-year-old daughter. So ends the day of a single mother. Jeannette Martinez, an MSC education major, gave birth to Danielle three months after receiving her high school diploma, at 18 years old. At that time Jeannette believed ~ her place should be at home and didn't think aboutfurthereducation. Aroundherdaughter's first birthday, Jeannette decided to take a secretarial course at a technical college. Then she decided she wanted more - she wanted a degree from Metro. Jeannette lived with her parents at the time and said she was lucky her mother ran a day care center at home. "I couldn't have done it without my mom's help," Jeannette said. Danielle was 18-months-old when Jeannette started working as a clerk for _... - Denver Public Schools. She wakes up at 4:30 in the morning and works until 10 a.m., then attends classes until five in the evening. "I have made it a rule that when I am at home I don't bring my school work. I spend time with her. When I am at school I study in between classes," Jeannette said She stresses the importance of her time with Danielle and feels bad about the time they're apart. "Ifeel these are formative years," Jeannette said. "I have to give a positive self-image.

There was a time when she called my mom 'Mom' and me 'Jeannette.' I realil.ed what was happening and I knew when she grew older she would realiz.e I'm her mother. Yeah, she calls me mom now," Jeannette said. · As president of the Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan (MEChA), Jeannette devotes about one and a half hours ofevery school day to the organization. Jeannette says she's Chicano, and says it with pride. About 28 students attend MEChA's semimonthly meetings. "When I say Yo soy Chicano, [I am Chicano], it has a deep sentiment. The group is open to anyone. We are here to improve the educational opportunities for Chicanos," Jeannette said

Jeannette lives in a one-bedroom apartment in a single-parent housing complex where rent is subsidized. The building includes a day care center. so Jeannette picks up Danielle before going to her apartment. The first thing mother and daughter do is fix dinner. "I try to let her help me. She'll tear up the lettuce or help me set the table," Jeannette said. Danielle has a hearing-impeditneht and wears a hearing aid. A therapist visifS on~ a week to work with Danielle on speech and language development. And although the hearing loss is slight, Jeannette works with Danielle at night on some of the exercises. "I find it relaxing. I don't do it in a strict way, wejustsortoftalk ...,"shesaid At9:30 p.m. Jeannette is usually in bed because the next day begins early. With such a tight schedule, Jeannette doesn't have much time to socialize. "I find time to go out dancing once every two mQ.nths, maybe, and I limit going out with men to· the sunnitertime," Jeannette said while laughing. She's learned to deal with things when they happen and not breakdown and cry like before. "I've become very responstble, almost super-responsible and I find I'm much stronger than most people, "Jeannette said. "The hardest thing is not being able to enjoy my daughter's childhood years, and because I'm building up my career, I regret not fini<;hing four years [of school] in four years." "What makes it worthwhile is looking at her when she is sleeping, she's so pudgy and soft and beautiful," she said "She loves me so much, and that's worth it." D

The Mayflower landed in America sometime during the Dark Ages, and MacArthur was president of the Confederacy during the Civil War, according to some students on the Auraria Campus. None of 18 students who filled out a history survey answered all the U.S. history questions correctly. "Students on campus don't know their history at all," said Dr.-Charles Dobbs, a history professor at MSC. "You can't really blame them. It's not particularly the students' fault. When I went to school, it was straight-up history courses. Now, in many cases, history became a social science. People don't have a background. It can be taught so dull and boring that no one wants to learn it."

exact dates of th~ Great Depress10~ were m the ballpark, with answers rangmg from 19:~ to 1~. HIStory IS taught as unrelated facts. That's not right, the point is to give history relevancy - to connect it,''. Dobbs said, adding that it's easy to~ J~t the facts. Dobbs stressed that it's important to know the history "because it's there." For instance, when the United States decided to enter the Vietnam War, not one person who was making that decision knew anything about the Vietnamese people," Dobbs said. Not the way the Vietnamese people lived or fought. "Even now, can you name at least one president who has a history adviser on his staff? They hire political science advisers, but not history, although Nixon is very conscious of his role in history-Just look at all the books he's writing." He also said that Europeans can name the last five American presidents and vicepresidents and even those people who lost the elections.

~ly one person :15ked knew the first five presidents of the Uruted States, and only one other student knew the president of the Confederacy during the Civil War. "What we have to do is teach more than facts [we have] to teach process," Dobbs said.' "To help people understand how to look at the past. Not just cognitively, but effectively to teach the critical skills of thinking. ' "People don't understand how knowing where they come from helps them to understand where they're going," he said. "It's important to have a sense of the past. "People are taught history about the great white males or the great chinese males if you study in China, but what interest is it to women, to minorities?" Dobbs asked. "You almost never see black people in westerns. Hispanics are portrayed as either silly or vicious.You might have a sense of the West, but it won't be accurate to women, to minorities, even to cowboys. Not according to John Wayne movies." 0 History. Love it or re-live it.

After having achieved these seemingly insurmountable goals, why is it that the greatest mystery of our times goes unsolved? Where is Elvis really? Is it true that Elvis merely faked his own death so that he could check into a weight- 7. loss clinic in Barbados without attracting press attention? What about the story that says he returned to his religious roots and became a minister in Arizona? Are there lost Elvis albums? Was Elvis really a CIA agent on a mission to infiltrate the high-dollar, sex and drug-filled world of rock 'n' roll? I've Qeen reading about this story in the tabloids, the only papers with the editorial guts to really go after the facts pertaining to the mysterious death and subsequent disappearance of The King. What I have seen on those pages disgusts and infuriates me, as it - ..; should truth-seeking Americans everywhere. The sheer persistence of this story demands an explanation. If it is true that Elvis is dead, why won't the story go away? There are legions ofElvis faithfuls who refuse the too-neat-and-tidy story. They refute the reports by lofty government officials that say the case is closed. Faithfully, they wait for the return of The Pelvis. And reported sightings of The King filter in from the four comers of the globe. He was seeninMinnesotaonJune3, 1988, by filling station attendant Roscoe Nelson. "He just drove right in and told me to fill it up with hi-test," Nelson told a reporter shortly after the incident "I filled it up and took Im: money, then he said 'stay cool babe' and drove off. It was him. I know it was." ' . Pretty convincing, right? And yet bona fide, open-and-shut sightings by Nelson and others like him have been disregarded by both the U.S. Government and, by and large, the national press. Even after Nelson was given a polygraph test live on television by Geraldo Rivera (who deserves credit for refusing to participate in this deplorable cover-up), skeptics say that it was nothing more than a case of mistaken identity on the part of a confused man in a high pressure, fill-my-tank-now situation. Not likely. I have met Roscoe Nelson, and I can testify to both his mental acuity and his honesty. This is a deliberate a~empt by people in very high places to discredit Nelson and his story. And now, the most staggering revelation of all, brought to you by the ever-watchful eye of Auraria, yours truly. Elvis is alive. Elvis is near. Very near. Elvis is working in the Student Center Cafeteria. Not two hours ago, he spooned some pasta primavera into a dish for me, gave me a crooked smile and a nasal "stay cool babe," and waved me on to the vegetables. When I asked cafeteria officials about it, they responded with only no cornmerittype remarks ..It looks like someone has told them they'd better not talk, probably threatening their families and friends. I suspect that it is MSC President Thomas , Brewer, but can't prove anything.as yet D

Metro State still succeeds in spite of itself Metro's students know. MSC's success is due mostly to its flexible class schedules, quality instruction. convenient location and open admission policy. Those things that make MSC unique are the reasons for its poplularity. So why is it so difficult for some to recognize what makes Metro work? Quit wasting time arguing over whether or not to shove Metro into a traditional mold! Wake up, Metro's a success because it's different. Play up those differences, don't try to get rid of them. Metro's bursting of its enrollment cap last year should convince anyone that the school offers what a lot of people want. It's an urban campus, close to students' homes and work. Traditional and non-traditional students alike can take advantage of MSC's flexible class scheduling and work full- or part-time while they go to school. So why is MSC penalized for its success? The Colorado Commission on Higher Education thinks it takes two part-time students to equal the value of one full-timer. This is the heart of the Full Time Equivalency method of evaluation. To pry money from the CCHE for coming budgets, MSC has to present its number of full-time students. Part-timers are worth only half as much. The standards Metro is judged by were created after studying traditional universities and colleges. No wonder MSC comes out the loser. It isn't a traditional school, and it isn't fair to measure its success with a regular ruler. Reward MSC for its uniqueness, don't punish 1t. LOOK at what it already does well and find ways to do it better.

The FTE is also one of the reasons Metro's drop fee is so high. Students are penalized if they drop classes by a high drop fee. If MSC loses one FTE, it loses money. The drop fee "encourages" students to keep classes they sign up for in the hope they won't slip to part-time status (God forbid) if they drop. And at least the school gets a few bucks if they do. Instead of charging students who've already paid tuition for the privilege of not taking a class, how about changing the system. Students don't need a stand-in parent to slap their hands for taking too heavy a class load or to teach them how to take the good class with the bad. Students are paying customers and the school offers them a product. They've already paid for the right to change their minds. CCHE needs to catch aclue. lnadditiontoemploying a lot of people in downtown Denver, which looks more like a ghost town everyday, MSC gives people a chance to learn new skills so they can find work in a weak job market. It makes good business sense. One past administrator was as shortsighted as the CCH E. This state doesn't need another day care center for 18-year-olds who are more interested in entertainment than education. In his efforts to enhance Metro's image, expresident Paul Magelli jacked up the men's basketball budget. I don't think too many people considering attending MSC are worried about the quality of its basketball program. There aren't too many big stories in Denver's daily papers or on television about the team, so publicity can't be the reason it exists. It sure doesn't

cover expenses with cash collected at the gate. Sports in which players participate because they love the game seem more Metro's style. Let's get serious. If you were an outstanding high school basketball player, would the Roadrunners be your first choice? Only if you were bribed to play with full-ride scholarships and luxury housing. Don't misunderstand. Athletes should be rewarded for their talents just like academic standouts. But not at MSC. It doesn't need expensive highprofile athletics. Metro suffers a lack of recognition, but you don't have to change the nature of the school to improve its reputation . Let's put that money where it will do some good, like in the pockets of more quality part-time (there's that word again) and full-time teachers. - MSC's new president, Thomas Brewer, seems to be on the right track. He doesn't want to encourage "creeping elitism," which I interpet as trying to keep Metro's admission standards within reach of most prospective students. We don't need to cover this school's walls with ivy and learn to point our noses at the sky. Almost anyone can get into Metro, and that's nothing to be ashamed of. The point is to educate people. Why in the hell would you want to turn prospective students away because they ' re poorly educated? Hopefully, Brewer will stick to his guns and work to improve the things that already have made MSC a suco cess. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Johnson owes no one an explanation Editor, I was shocked to read in last week's Metropolitan your plaintive lament as to Dean Johnson's tendency to clam up about what goes on at Metropolitan State College. This sort of naivete must be remedied at once. Dean Johnson is too great a man to be answering any questions, no matter how direct, from students, faculty or staff. He is simply following guidelines adhered to by his fellow administrators. You are of an age to know that MSQ,ialong with most other colleges in the United States, exists not to educate students but to provide

sustenance for those administrative racketeers who, through the subtlety of bureaucracy and the nuance of jargon (not to mention that profound silence wh ich you did not appreciate but complained about), have so magnificently translated themselves into higher consciousness than what they actually are, overpaid sero vants and - worse - a superfluous caste.

Darkness had enveloped the Auraria Campus. A cool breeze swirled among the buildings, but Kim DeWitt felt eerily warm, as though a hot, wet towel was wrapped around her face. She hated night classes, and she certainly didn't want to be spending Halloween evening in a class with a professor who looked like Frankenstein and thought he was Einstein. As she entered the West Classroom Building, wiping perspiration from her forehead with the back of her coatsleeve, she noticed that the campus seemed too quiet. No people. Anywhere. She looked back over her shoulder into the night, hoping to see some evidence of life, but there was nothing bu vy darkness. Jf school had been cancelled, h ad t anyone told her, she wondered.

Eastwood lays egg with "Bird" had been the only one in the film, but it wasn't. In fact, the whole story seemed to be told through a continuous series of flashbacks. Flashbacks can be good techniques for bringing up past events that have a bearing on the present, but enough is enough. In "Bird" they serve only to confuse past with present, losing the audience in the process. H these past events are so significant, why not just show them in the order they occurred? It would keep the audience's interest and explain the story in a way the audience could understand. For example, one flashback begins with Parker (Forest Whitaker) standing across the street from Birdland, a jazz club named after him. We flash back to a few weeks before the club opened. OK, so far so good. But then the action continues through that opening to a tour of the South with Parker and his band Nearly 20 minutes later, the film returns to him standing across from Birdland. Frankly, I was so involved in what was going on in the flashback, that I forgot it was one. When the flashback ended, I wasn't sure what was going on. Continuous use of this technique serves only to confuse the audience instead of furthering the plot. Simply using dates at the bottom of the screen would have clarified the jumps in time and would have lent credibility to the film. However, there are some good points to

Chad Morris

Government Editor

Clint Eastwood's jazz movie "Bird" does little justice to its subject, saxophonist Charlie Parker. Instead' it confuses the audience and leaves it wondering what made Parker so great. Parker was a jazz innovator whose creative talent was equaled only by his appetite for women, heroin and liquor (not necessarily in that order). He died at age 34, having left an indelible mark on the jazz world. Unfortunately, "Bird" does little to explain his greatness to an audience that probably doesn't know who he was. That is the film's first major problem. It assumes the audience is already familiar with its subject. · Instead of focusing on· Parker's back'ground and his formative years, Eastwood elects only to briefly show the roots of his musical style. In this sequence, Eastwood uses the film's only fictional character, Buster (Keith David), to ill~:-..ate Parker's progression from a nervous saxophonist to a jazz great. I saw little point in placing a fictional character in a film made up of real ones. It destroyed some of the movie's credibility and made the sequence too contrived to be believable. This sequence also was done through a flashback. That would have been fine if it

foraat Whitaker portr1yu1 Ch1rll1 "Bird" P1rk1r In the movld "Bird." this otherwise unremarkable film. All the acting in "Bird" is excellent. Whitaker has definitely shown he is capable of much more than being an object of Robin Williams' wit in "Good Morning Vietnam." He is ready for more challenging projects. Diane Venora, who plays Parker's wife Chan, also does an impressive job. She portrays someone who, in many ways, is more complex than Parker himself. I liked her spirit (she never left him), but not her lack of strength. She never tried to get him to kick

his heroin addiction. Another redeeming quality is that "Bird" avoids becoming a "just say no" film, unlike "Less than Zero." Obviously, Parker's life was adversely affected by his drug use, but the film places more emphasis on his music and his marriage. Basically, "Bird" is a film that tries very hard to be good, but fails because of a few simple technical problems. Go rent "Round Midnight'' if you want to see a good film on jazz. 0

_Voter-registration lane -14 items·or·i"ess -r

Allen Danlel

Copy Editor After procrastinating week after week, I reluctantly thrust myself into the cogs of the second-most integral piece of Democratic '- machinery - voter registration. The registration line that meandered down Joe Albertson's Aisle 3 was lengthy; the process seemed excruciatingly slow. Was one vote, a vote inevitably cast for one of two candidates who provide rhetoric A rather than information and new ideas, really worth it anyway? It sure didn't help Walter last time. But the drums of American patriotism kept beating on my conscience harder and harder. , I finally surrendered and answered its call, calmly placing myself at the end of the line somewhere near the toy and greeting card sections. Ah yes, Clue - still looked the same, but I think they switched Mr. Green for Mr. Belvedere.

Pat and Vanna seem to be doing well. At least, their board game was Aisle 3's highestpriced commodity. The greeting cards, wrapping paper and bows ornately decorated the aisle's B side. That's the ticket - I'll sit down with some buddies while watching a Bronco telecast and brainstorm a clever line or two. Wonder if we'd get royalties or just a flat fee? Grinding past the envelope section, I realire Joe's sales technique could stand refining. Why direct the registration line down Aisle 3 when Aisle 12 is the junk food aisle? With this crowd, sales would have rocketed. Guess that says something for the American Way. Anyway, my mouth was parched and I would have paid a small fortune for a cold one. If I could get a cold one without losing my place in line, that is. Rising conversation surrounded me. "Who are you voting for'?" a woman joked. "None of the above; neither are worth a hoot," a large man bellowed. Restrained chuckles filled the air. A boy negotiated with his father for a toy, probably that Stealth Bomber model I'd so fondly admired earlier. Hey you 4-year-old whipper snapper, I might have an empty wallet now, but I'll be back. The bomber is mine. His dad firmly replied, "Not uni~ it's 37 cents." Whew. But the tyke was persistent "How 'bout 99 cents?" the kid offered in

exchange. So the guy has a Little Lee Iacocca on his hands, give him a break. By now, junior's probably swindled his dad to the poverty level. Shut up, kid. "How long is the wait for the pearly gates?" a man pondered aloud. "I hope it's not this bad." Only in purgatory. Oh no, Brach's Pick-a-Mix lay ahead and I was unprepared. I probably could have popped a couple rootbeer barrels in my mouth before Joe noticed. Someone mentioned Gary Hart How'd he get in here? Hasn't he already had his

share? Let's talk Schroeder - Cmon Pat, go for the glory. As time passed, relationships developed. Yet, camaraderie among line waiters is a fickle thing. If the two knuckleheads behind me would have bumped shopping carts trying to get to an open checkout lane, they would have rolled up their sleeves and taken it outside. Tonight, however, they're heading out for a brew after registration festivities. A wasted hour in the toy aisle for a lesserof-two-evils vote was well worth waiting around for anyway, wasn't it? The beer can wait D

Okoh leadS men's soccer team with 6 goals Jay Hauptman Reporter

'c..

The MSC men's soccer team hit the road for the second weekend in a row and came away with a win and a tie against two New Mexico teams. MSC beat College of the Southwest 4-0, Oct. 22, and played to a 44 tie against the University of New Mexico the next day. College of the Southwest presented little challenge to MSC, and Joe Okoh took the opportunity to pad his statistics by scoring all four of MSC's goals. Okoh's first goal was ~ted and came early in the first half on a one-on-one. He

was assisted by junior-varsity player Tim Josserand on his second goal, and by Chino Melendez on the third. MSC went into halftime up 3-0. In the second half another junior-varsity player, Jake Jacobson, got into the act ~isting Okoh on his fourth goal to ice the game. From College of the Southwest, MSC drove six hours to Albuquerque to take on the University of New Mexico. There, they faced tougher opponents and officiating that neither team was happy with, head coach Bill Chambers Said. The officials awarded New Mexico three penalty kicks, all for hand-balls against MSC. The Lobos converted on all three

penalty kicks, each one allowing them to tie the game after MSC had gone ahead by a goal. "They [UNM] weren't happy to tie it up the way they did," Chambers said. J~d scored first for MSC when he headed in a Melendez crossing ~ but New Mexico answered on their first penalty kick to tie the score going into halftime. New Mexico scored early in the second half, and with only two minutes left, Abdumonem Al-Majid ~isted Okob to tie the game and send it into overtime. In overtime, MSC scored first when AlMajid was~ by Jcmerand. The Lobos tied the game on their second penalty kick.

Okoh put MSC back ahead, but again New Mexico tied the game on a penalty kick making the final 4-4. After the game, when the two teams shook hands, the New Mexico players apologized to MSC for the officiating, Chambers said. Although the tie and the officiating were disappointing, Chambers was satisfied with his team's performance. "They played hard," be said. "Everybody did their job." Okoh was the star of the weekend scoring six goals. "Yeah, be had a great weekend," Chambers said. o

Freshman forward Bridgette Leisure capped a four goal week with a hat trick against Texas A&M, Saturday, Oct. 22, to spark the MSC women's soccer team to a pair of victories. With last week's wins, Metro, ranked 19th in Division II, ran its season record to 8-3-2. Leisure's four goals put her one point shy of Cindi W eishapl's team-leading 18 points. Thursday, Oct. 20, MSC, in their home finale, edged University of Denver 2-1 to take the season cross-town series two games to none. Metro scored just 1:07 into the contest when a DU defender, pressured by Weishapl, accidentally shot the ball into her own goal. Weishapl was credited with the score. Three minutes and 19 seconds later, Leisure put MSC up 2-0, scoring on a left-footed shot assisted by Jami Cobb.

With nine minutes remaining in the halt: DU cut the margin to a goal when MSC goalie Jan Holland, staring into the late · afternoon sun, bobbled Tracy Lair's shot in the goal mouth. CbCryl Guenther ~ on the Pioneer score. The second half remained scoreless although Metro continued to pressure the Pioneers. DU goalie Susan Nesbitt, limping badly after getting kicked in the leg midway in the final period, performed gallantly in keeping the Roadrunners out of the goal. "I thought we controlled most of the play," MSC coach Ed Montojo said. ''The score was not really indicative of the match."

Metro out-shot the Pioneers 19-7 in the contest. Saturday, the Roadrunners, fine-tuning their attack for a poSSible postseason playoff berth, troUnced Texas A&M 4-0 in Greeley. Weishapl scored 21:12 into the game after taking a

deflected cr~ing pass from Linda Thompson. Then Leisure took over scoring the next three goals. The first came at 31 :20 off a defense~splitting p~ from Monica Wenston to put MSC up 2-0 at the half. Leisure got her second tally unassisted 5:10 into the second half on a 35-yard shot. The talented freshman striker completed her hat trick scoring on a header off a Thompson comer kick at 20:45. The game's final tally was Leisure's team-leading eighth goal of the year. "It was probably the best match we've played all season," Montojo said. "We played soccer for 90 minutes." Metro out-shot Texas A&M 14-6 and Holland registered her fifth shutout of the season in the MSC goal. "We were really hitting on all cylinders," Montojo said. "This was a big win for us." The Roadrunners finish the regular season with three games on the road. o

Budget continued from page 1

"That bas'been a real problem," Giailneschi said "This year was a very difficult

year," be added. "We were operating on a lot of guesswork." The athletic budget depends on three sources: the student fee based on head count, team-generated income and booster club donations. None of th~ are constant Also, Gianneschi said prior MSC administrations bad put an emphasis on athletics, with verbal guarantees that all spending would be accounted for. Both Gianneschi and Athletic Director William Helman said the deficit bad been caused by the athletic's booster clubs failure to generate as much money as expected. The club supports the athletic scholarship program that pays for athletes' room, board, books, weekend meal allowances and up to $900 a year pocket-money. Unlike financial aid, th~ scholarships are not based on need; eligi'ble athletes also may apply for financial aid. ~rding to Helman, about 140 of 200 aihletes receive some scho~hip funding: - Although student fee funds 'are not su~ posed to be used to cover scholarship-fund areas, Helman said the bills, nonethel~ are paid. Asked if student fee money bad paid any of those bills, Helman said he didn't know. Last year, athletic scholarship payments amounted to $48,327, said Joel R. Smith, sports promotion director. The scholarship fund brought in only $7,450. Metro students are ~ a $13 per semester athletic fee, separate from other student fees. The fee accounted for 68 percent of the athletic department's planned 1987-88 operating bµdget 4~ - .. _ ·: Additionally, the U t.eaJm ~ qpected to generate income on their own. Last year, they were expected to earn $47,400. However, the teams raised more tb&n $55,000, according to Smith. Women's volleyball • and men's baseball brought in about $16,000 each, Smith added. Men's basketball raised • about $400, exclusive of ticket sales. The money the teams raised was placed in the same general budget pool account as the student fees. This is the account in which o budget discrepancies.occurred.
