Eighteen-year-old Cameron Smith's only mistake Nov. 3 was wearing a red cap. Now the young man who recently began pulling · his life together will never realize his dreams .

Smith, a CCD freshman, had just reached the point where he could balance a full-time job with a college career.

But on his way home from his job at McDonald's, he was shot and killed by a member of a Denver street gang.

Feds launch investigation of MSC Athletic Department Gary Salvuccl Reporter

The Federal Department of Education is conducting an investigation at MSC into pos&ble sexual discrimination in the intercollegiate athletics program.

If MSC is foumf in violation of civil rights Laws and does not agree to comply with them, the college could lose all of its federal funding. This includes all money for academic programs.

The Office for Civil Rights of the Department of Education is gathering data this month to determine if MSC athletics is complying with Title IX, a law that requires federally funded schools to provide equal opportunity for men and women in intercollegiate athletics.

The law requires access to an equal quality of facilities, equipment and athletic experience, as well as proportionate distribution of scholarships and funding.

The investigation began after Pat Johnson, an assistant professor at MS,C and ex-coach of women's volleyball, dropped a sexual discrimination suit she had" filed ear-

Thn•v11r-old Taylor Brown h1ng1 out In 1 tne whlle wi tting for his mother.

lier. She dropped the suit because MSC administration agreed to cooperate with the OCR in a review of the athletic department's compliance with Title IX. Johnson said she filed the complaint because the administration responded slowly to demands for such improvements in women's athletic programs as more equipment aAd scholarships.

"Sometimes it is necessary to take some action in order to bring some changes about," Johnson said.

In April 1987, a group of women's coaches (including Johnson) and a member of MSC's Athletics Advisory Committee submitted a memo to Percy Morehouse, MSC's equal opportunity director. The group cited inequities between men's and women's sports. To solve them, the group requested facilities improvements and more staff, funds and scholarships for women.

Bill Helman, director of athletics at MSC, said that MSC did respond to many of the specifics of the memo. For instance, women's scholarship funding has increased.

A COMMENTARY

~THE PEOPLE

Drop fee may stay Chad Morris

Government Editor

To drop or not to drop, that is the question, to misquote Shakespeare. But really, what will ever become of the infamous drop fee?

Weeks, nay, months have gone by and nothing. We still get assessed the fee, we will still get assessed the fee next semester and who knows about next year.

Meanwhile, we are being told that something is being done. Tim Greene, interim

UPSTAIRS

vice president of Business Affairs, has been working on a package of options to present to MSC President Thomas Brewer and his cabinet.

But shucks, folks, that darn Patterson had them scrambling around wondering how long they were going to have their jobs, so they just had to postpone doing anything about that ol' drop fee.

OK, after the initial panic of that trauma wore off, Mr. Greene was finally ready to submit his package to the cabinet of vice presidents and Brewer on Nov. 7. Surely some action was afoot But, nooooooo.

President Brewer decided (only a few days, mind you, before he leaves for India for two weeks), that he hasn't had a chance to fully review the package. Therefore, any action

Athletics - - from pg. 1 Johnson agreed that some action did result from the memo, but said that the response was not enough.

"Many of the concerns were not addressed," she said. She mentioned that operations funding for women has not increased in proportion to men's basketball.

Therefore, in April 1988, Johnson sent a memo to then MSC Interim President William Fulkerson, requesting that MSC do a voluntary report measuring compliance with Title IX, which many schools perform annually.

Fulkerson did not refer the memo to Morehouse, who manages MSC's Affirma-

tive Action program and would have been in charge of the review. Instead, the matter was presented to the Athletic Advisory Committee, made up of administrators, students and faculty.

A compliance study was not performed.

After seeking information from Morehouse on the procedure to file a complaint, Johnson filed with the OCR. If the OCR finds that MSC is not complying with Title IX, they will negotiate with MSC President Thomas Brewer to develop a time table for bringing MSC into compliance.

If Brewer refused to negotiate, the college could lose all its federal funding. However,

will be further postponed until a tan, rested and ready Dr. Brewer returns from the World Trade Center Conference and a quick jaunt over to China.

But who can blame him? Wouldn't you rather do something geared to bringing money into Metro rather than out of it?

Does it matter that an eliminated or reduced drop fee might benefit students more directly than the World Trade Center in downtown Denver?

It would seem not.

This unfortunately leaves student government with their hands tied for another two weeks, or more. Until the cabinet reviews the package, no one will know exactly what it contains, hence student government will be unable to discuss what it proposes.

However, I have a feeling that it won't be anything earth· shattering. According to Greene, what he essentially wants is to form a task force (that's "committee" to you civilians) composed of students and administra- , tors to look into the various alternatives. > Students haven't been left out entirely, though. Greene said he'd talked about the drop fee project, as he calls it, with student government Chief of Staff Dan Becker and would continue to do so as it develops.

But the last word is that there still will be a .,. drop fee next semester because fee/tuition programs are changed only once a year, Greene said. Ifsomething is actually changed it won't be until next fall, at the earliest.

So pick those classes carefully next semeter, folks, or else Metro may be picking your ~ o pocket again at $10 a credit hour.

NEWS----------------Pena visits campus, urges students to curb driving Staff

Mayor Federico Pena spoke to students Wednesday about the Better Air Campaign.

r:

Photo by Dan_Walters

Mayor Federico Pena came to the Auraria Campus Wednesday to help kick off the Better Air Campaign by encouraging commuters to use alternatives to driving alone.

At a rally at the Student Center, Pena told a crowd of about 100 that the responsibility for cleaning Denver's air rests with the population of the metropolitan area and that people are beginning to participate in the clean air program.

"Skeptics say you can't change peoples' behavior, but the fact is we have changed peoples' behavior," Pena said. "In Denver, ~e -have been leaders in reducing carbon monoxide."

Pena came to the campus at the invitation ofMSC's CoPIRG chapter, which is promoting a week of free parking for carpoolers from Nov. 7-11. The Auraria Higher Education Center has designated four parking lots for this special free carpool use: Lots D, C, F, andH.

Additionally, carpoolers - those with at least two persons per car - will receive half-price parking throughout the threemonth campaign at those lots. The parking fee will be 75 cents per day, said Randy Ready, AHEC parking systems manager.

Ready said it appeared that there are more carpoolers this year than last, but bis department will continue to monitor the carpool lots to determine how well the program is operating.

"It's possible that if the figures are high enough, we'd consider it a success and do it again next year, "Ready said. "We just have to wait till next fall."

With 30,000 people coming to the Auraria Campus, 12,000 to 16,000 vehicles vie for parking every day. Of these, only 5 percent are carpoolers, Ready said.

In bis speech to students, Pena noted that Denver has improved since being named last year as the city with the highest carbon monoxide levels in the nation. The city is now the seventh highest, and Pena said Denver may drop below number 10 next year.

CCHE director favors Auraria merger Rick Sclbelll Reporter

A merger of CU-Denver and Metro would evolve into a university of greater credibility, boosting now "mediocre" institutions into "greatness," said Dr. David Longanecker, Executive Director of the Colorado Commission on Higher Education.

Longanecker, MSC President Thomas Brewer and other Auraria Campus officials answered questions and spoke on is.5ues ~- regarding the future of the Auraria Campus during an open forum Nov. 9 in the Student Center.

"My dream is for an institution that will have a greater credibility," Longanecker said. "It is not that they [CU-Denver and â&#x20AC;˘_ MSC] don't work - but we could have a greater su~ story." Longanecker said he believed a merge would serve students better by offering a "richer" and more diverse curriculum with less duplication of classes.

Lois Kaness, MSC Student Government

representative, opposes the merger and Longanecker's views.

"Before we say the three [schools] cannot work together, we have to give them the opportunity to try it," Kaness said. She also said she believes the institutions were never given a chance to co-exist successfully because "they have always bad [Auraria Higher Education Center] to deal with."

"If CCHE wants to establish a university then fine, but dammit, we have one- leave Metro the hell alone - we need it," she said Kaness strongly supports MSC becoming the single governing body of the campus, as proposed in the recent Patterson report.

The report, published by Patterson and Associates, identifies three options for future management of Auraria Model 1 proposes replacing AHEC with a board of representatives from each entity, Model 2 the formation a single governing body on campus, and Model 3 a merger.

Like Kaness, MSC Vice President of Institutional Advancement Harry

Gianneschi, spoke out adamently opposin~ a merger and supporting Model 2.

"Model 3 [the merger] creates new problems, worse than the ones we're trying to stop," Gianneschi said 'The cure is worse than the illness." He said he believes Metro students would face at least a 25 percent increase in tuition, as well as changes in graduation requirements.

"We have one of the most cost effective institutions in the state. Why mess with it?" he said.

Other speakers against Model 3 included Kelly Martin, MSC senator, and Dr. Brewer, who was last to speak.

Brewer said he believed that for an urban institution to be a success, it must be (what he referred to as the four A's) accessible, adaptable, attainable, and affordable.

"This could go on and on and on, there are dollars involved," he said. Brewer said the cost of the merger would reach into the millions.

"Tuition will cost Metro students an addi-

tional $3 million a year," be said. Brewer added that the rising costs and tougher admission standards that go hand in hand with a university will produce a "creeping elitism" on the campus. He is a proponent of

Transient charged with arson Dave Plank Reporter A bond hearing has been set for Nov. 10 for a transient charged with first-degree arson in a fire that destroyed a warehouse near campus Nov. 1.

The Denver District Attorney's office filed charges Monday against Jeffrey Griess, 23, after an investigation in to the blaz.e was conducted by the Denver Arson Squad.

Edward Long, 25, another transient who was arrested at the scene, has been cleared of all charges and released.

The fire gutted an empty building at 900 Wewatta, previously occupied by American Roofing Co. Plumes of smoke from the abandoned roofing materials were visible for miles and the blaze drew a crowd of several hundred spectators from Auraria.

"They [Griess and Long] had been living in the building for about two weeks,"

Denver/, .sistant Fire Chief Thomas Abbott said shortly after the fire. "Transients always get into fights, and this is the stuff that happens."

Transients' conflicts over space in vacant buildings bas been a growing problem in Denver lately, arson investigator Joe Sarconi said.

The Denver Rio Grande Co., which owns the land the warehouse occupies, does not have any estimate of damages from the fire, spokesmen said, because it was scheduled to be demolished in the near future.

The Denver Fire Department was also asked by reporters at the scene whether they would complain to Auraria about the hundreds of students' parked cars in the area, which made it difficult for firefighters to get near the blaze. As oflate Wednesday night, however, no plans for such a complaint had been made public. o

"As a teacher, I am working with the future," she said. "Now, his future is ended."

"Everyone in the class knew him; he will be missed," Taylor said. "Next week we're having reading presentations, and there's his name on the list" Denver Detective John Wyckoff said police believe Smith was shot only because be was wearing a red Oklahoma Sooners hat at the time. Red is the identifying color of a street gang known as the Bloods. Smith was apparently shot by a member of a rival gang, the Crips.

A juvenile was arrested Friday, Nov. 4 in connection with Smith's murder and another shooting that also occurred Thursday, police said.

However, according to his friends, Smith had no gang ties whatsoever.

"He was a good kid," said Darrin Bradford, a long time friend. "He was going to

school trying to better himself. He was at the wrong place at the wrong time."

Bradford and Auraria's Black Student Alliance Chairman Audley Ransom said they believe Smith was attacked in retaliation for the killing of a Crips member Tuesday, Nov. l.

Smith was the oldest of two children and graduated from Thomas Jefferson High School in May, 1988. According to Ransom, he planned to transfer to Metro this January after finishing some general education~ at CCD. Ransom said members of the BSA were very hurt by what had happened and felt something should be done. Smith was also a member of the alliance. Ransom added that a committee may be formed to look into what they can do about gang violence.

At least two trust funds for the Smith family have been set up over the last week.

One, through McDonald's, will help pay for the funeral. A second fund has been set up through the BSA. o

Amendment 1 was approved by 60 percent of Colorado voters and English is now the state's offidal language. A few prominent Denverites commented: Mayor Federico Pena: "I'm disappointed at the passage of Amendment 1. I'm concerned that we don't fully appreciate the impact of the amendment."

Pena said amendment sponsors claim it will not cause discrimination. "I'm saying to them that we'll be watching them."

Amendment 6, the controversial "taxpayer biO of rights" was rejected by Colorado voters. Campus leaders commented: MSC PresidentTho~Brewer. "fm~ lutely delighted about it. I think that people realized what would happen to services."

Brewer said that the amendment would have meant large cuts for MSC. "We don't have to do this now, and that's great."

Language Department Chair Juan Esteve: "I'm very disappointed with the passage of this law. It is a nonsense measure."

Esteve described seeing a local restaurant manager tell an employee not to speak Spanish with a customer because "English is our official language."

"Spanish speakers should learn English, but nobody should prevent them from speaking their native language."

Auraria Higher Education Center Executive Director Morgan Smith: "I'm very pleased. At the same time, I think there's a substantial number of people who want to be convinced that state, local and national government is doing everything it can to economize."

"Anybody that thinks this is a vindication for excessive spending is crazy."

Joe Navarro, a member of MEChA [the Latino student movement at Auraria]: "It makes me so angry. I feel like it's a personal attack. Nobody is resisting English. Nobody is trying to make Spanish the official language."

"Barbara Phillips and official English proponents claimed their purpose was unity.

This move had the opposite effect; it polarized the state."

MSC Student Government President Bruce DeWitt: "I'd like to think we had a hand in defeating this amendment. The citizens of the state knew better than to tie the hands of government behind its back."

Faculty to hit books if merger succeeds CU-Denver includes scholarship in its mission.

John S. Haller, Jr., vice chancellor of Academic Affairs at CU-Denver, explained that schools which offer graduate degrees have a· greater responsibility to do faculty research.

"Our teachers are contnbuting to the fund of knowledge of their disciplines," he said, adding that such involvement is "the highest level of teaching."

Haller also said that Metro's teachers usually handle four classes per semester while teachers at CU-Denver handle one to three classes.

Metro currently has about $133,000 in research-related grants, while CU-Denver received about $8 million this year. By comparison, CSU and CU-Boulder received about $74 million and $80 million respectively.

"If the legislature would allow more of the money that goes to CSU and Boulder [to go to Auraria], this campus would be a lot better off." Freudenste~ said Kenneth Keller, the MSC Sociology Department chairman, said that the issue of a "publish or perish" policy is not foremost among most MSC teacher's concerns.

Brewer addressed the same issue at a faculty meeting later Wednesday. He told faculty members he was concerned that the student is going to pay the price if a merger succeeds.

Faculty expressed concern about the security of their jobs, as well as their lobbying power.

But Gwen Thomas, president of the Black Round Table and MSC's as.5istant vice president of student affairs and dean of minority recruitment and retention, said she is upset by the fragmentation of official efforts to combat the problem.

"We can keep on talking, but what we need is a unified program," Thomas said.

"We need a coordinated program. I am very frustrated."

She added that until efforts are more combined, some Denver areas will remain in a polire c;tafP ''That cannot be our way," she said Pena agreeo, but said that immediate action is needed. He accepted suggestions " from those present, and one woman proposed that students form groups against gangs, making posters and billboards. Others suggested promoting more parental involvement and the development of programs aimed specifically at gang members.

School officials also criticized media coverage of gang activities, saying the publicity further provoked violence. Regardless of current problems, however, Pena said he would like to focus on the prevention of violence, and said this could be accomplished if everyone worked together.

However, one 25-year-old man, who asked that his name not be used, said gang violence is not going to stop.

"No matter what's said, no matter what's done, nothing's going to change," he said.

He said that teen-agers join gangs because they think it is cool, then start liking it "They think that's 'what's happening'," he said. He also said gang members are just normal kids who have gotten into trouble.

"They're just off into something they shouldn't be," he said.

-t He added that gang violence will increase dramatically in the near future and deemed it as a "sign of the times." o

Share drive serves soup Mark Hamstra Reporter

Students may get a sense of what it means to be homeless. next week at.a.soup line in the Student Center.

The event, Nov. 16 and 17, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., will kick off the 1988 SHARE (Share Hope And Renew Everyone) campaign to aid the homeless and hungry in Denver. ~ "It's really an experiential event, so students can see what the homeless go through," said Steven Brian, coordinator of Colorado Public Interest Research Group's project on hunger and ho,melessness. His group is one of several that will be at the soup line to try to promote student involvement.

"Problems like this are going to continue unless people get involved," he said Auraria Interfaith Ministries and groups from all three schools will sponsor the soup line, whic~ will provide bowls of soup to both the homeless and anyone else who drops by ( 50 cent donation will be requested).

Virginia Broderious of Auraria Interfaith said that the soup line and related activities, such as speeches on both days by activists Jean Downs and Dorothy King, will be educational and might encourage students to ' devote more of their resources to aiding the homeless. i

"Students hopefully will be moved to help," she said. "I think most people are a paycheck away from being homeless."

She added that Auraria's location should provide some incentive for people to get involved.

"You can't get away from it [homelessness] here," she said, ''they're sleeping right outside our door."

Along with the soup line, the SHARE :program also will begin its annual drive to collect money, food and warm clothing. The drive will continue through Nov. 30, with collecion_sites at the Auraria Library, the Student Center, and the St. Francis

EDITORIAL-------------Judgment-ca11 mentality harmful to Americans The American Dream. The words connotate strongwilled and brave-minded souls who stand up for their personal freedoms, accomplish all they can as free individuals and lead the world. It Is difficult to find an American who doesn't hold this dream as valid somewhere in the back of his mind.

However, the mind of today's American is fogging, the will is weakening. The people who built the dream exist in textbooks.

The American of today more resembles Siskel and Ebert. We are critics. We are reactions to problems. We watch the world from the director's chair and give it a grade.

Racial injustice? Thumbs down. Too bad it's here.

Why didn't someone edit it out? National deficit? It's gonna have to be another thumbs down from me, Gene.

Military involvement in the Persian Gulf? Thumbs up!

Blow those bastards out of thewater!Who do they think they're messing with? We're the United States. We're the leaders of the world, right?

Wrong. The attitude currently employed by most apple pie lovers - which could be referred to as lackadaisical - is a greater threat to the home of the free than a Soviet nuclear missile.

How do we now handle problems in this country? We critique them. We judge them. The average American now becomes involved in the problems around him only by reacting to them. He-does not cause change; rather, he is affected by a change and gives it a grade.

Martin Luther King, Jr. said, "Most people are thermometers that record or register the temperature of majority opinion, not thermostats that transform and regulate the temperature of society."

These are very strong words, and they ring true. Had King formed a committee to approach a legislative committee with his feelings recorded in a report, had he

"1HE DE~DL~ DEEDS OF 'SNJDELY DONBAIN.'" stayed in the pulpit and told his parish week after week he just felt awful about the way blacks were treated, I highly doubt American blacks would have voted last Tuesday.

The latest trend toward committee-izing the country is a blatant example of this "judgme_nt call" mentality.

To a large extent, committees have merely given people the right to believe they are INVOLVED. It gives them the right to believe they are actually doing something.

Our more invloved social figureheads are, I would hypothesize, sitting on six or seven such committees. And in eight of 10 cases, these committees do nothing but form consensus judgment calls.

And committees are worse than rabbits when it comes to being fruitful and multiplying. Take any problem. People get all fired up, cries of "thumbs-down" echo throughout the hallowed halls. So. The crowd sits down together and forms a committee to look into the problem.

This first meeting generally ends up looking more like a maternity ward. Ten or 15 subcommittees are birthed out of this group, each with its own mission.

Each goes out, becomes informed, bickers for months and then arrives back at the original committee with an opinion. The committee fights over the 10 or 15 opinions for a few more months to form its own opinion.

This opinion is taken to a legislative subcommittee, which goes over the idea, forms its own consensus

based on this and other opinions, and ends up eventually at the legislature where they do the same thing.

And what is truly accomplished?" Do you see the beauty in this situation? No one ultimately has to take any responsibility for what is happening; 15,000 little minds have thrown in their two cents worth. Why does any one individual ever have to come forward and say "It was me, and I got it done." And who would want to?

What if it doesn't work?

This failsafe rnethod seems to be nothing more than a sodomizing of the definition of democracy and a beautifully accepted method of fervorous procrastination.

An opinion will never be equivalent to action. It is an excuse for action. Thought is nothing without mobility.

If America is to remain the power it claims to be, action needs to be taken. It no longer makes a difference what each of us thinks, individually or collectively.

It no longer matters that everyone agrees upon the rights and wrongs. What is right is right, cut and dried.

Reasons and excuses are not part of the argument.

We can no longer rely on the work of the critics. We can no longer sit back and gauge the events around us.

People need to take a risk, get off the couch and do something about the things in our society they deem unjust.

If you listen hard enough, you can hear the rest of the world saying, ''Thumbs down, America."

S Ia in student symbol for peace '

Editor, Thursday, November 3, 1988, Cameron Smith was murdered. Riding his bike through what was seemingly Bloods' territory, he was apparently mistaken for a Bloods' gang member because he was wearing a red cap. He was an innocent victim of the escalating gang violence in the Denver area. Cameron was a hardworking college student determined to achieve a college degree. He was one of my students at the Com-

munity College of Denver, and I believe that Cameron Smith shou.ld be remembered in a more humane way.

He is more than a statistic in the gang wars between red and blue. He can be a symbol for peace in the senseless struggle for power.

- Sharon-M. Taylor Instructor at CCD and MSC

Give Student Activities some credit Editor, The MSC Student Activities Program Board has some concerns regarding coverage of student fee funded programs sponsored by our office. In the articles aboutthe Eugene McCarthy lecture and the Carrie Hamilton lecture, neither the fact that Student Activities sponsored the event nor that they were paid for with student fees was mentioned.

As is The Metropolitan, Student Activities is student fee funded, and as such, we work to serve students. A function of serving students is informing them of where and how the student fees they are assessed every semester are spent. It benefits both the newspaper and Student Activities to make students aware of the value

of the services that both programs provide.

In the past, The Met has been quick to criticize programs deemed unsuccessful based on attendance figures versus dollars spent. By the same token, it would be nice for Student Activities to get some recognition and credit for events that are successful in regards to numbers of people attending.

As students, we feel that if is very important to know how our student fees are being used. We feel that this information Is highly pertinent In articles covering Student Activities events. We would like The Metropolitan to be sensitive to this luue.

Vietnam Alan Farb Reporter The night in a jungle can be quietandsttll. So still that you hear a beating sound and wonder where it's coming from.

It's there, inside your chest - your heart. And you think the pounding is so loud that anyone could hear.

Twenty-one-year-old Marine Cpl. Glenn A. Morris lay in the thick-set underbrush beside a narrow jungle trail in Vietnam and stared at his right hand Inches away marched a 100-man pack train of North Vietnamese soldiers and their native bearers. All they had to do was stop, look or listen.

"I could see their Ho Chi Minh sandals walking by," Morris said.

"My first thought was they would see my band or stop and camp on top of us. If their flank guards had been doing their job instead of goofing off, there's no way they would have missed us. There was no way to fight our way out. We would have been taken prisoners. A hundred of them and 11 of us.

"Luckily, I was so scared I didn't move. It took me an hour before I finally did.

"At night, people moving around are unfriendly."

That was 24 years ago. Morris was part of a five-man intelligence-gathering team cod~named "Jungle 5." The orders were not to engage the enemy - unless the team could hit and run.

Most of the time, they did just that, because in 1964 the United States was only "advising" South Vietnam's army.

And Morris was only an adviser.

Today, he's an adviser of another kind He's the director of Veterans Upward Bound, a program that offers U.S. military veterans an opportunity to get their GEDs and qualify to enter college.

"We service about 120 veterans a year [70 percent of whom are minority students)," he said. "Most of them enter Metro or CCD." Morris sits behind the desk of his second-floor office in a pink and white Victorian house on the west side of Auraria's Ninth Street Park. An 8-inch stack of manila folders rests atop the "out" file. The folders contain information that will form the grant proposal that can give the veterans program another year or two of success.

Around the room, bumper stickers, decals and a trio of posters of camouflaged young men in fatigues bear witness to Morris' pride and affection for the Marine Corps. A map of South Vietnam hangs on the wall opposite his desk.

Beneath a photograph of the Vietnam War memorial statue of three American soldiers bangs the l 8-by-24-inch U.S. flag Morris carried with him throughout his 18 months in Vietnam.

In the jungle, Morris and his fellow Americans lived and fought like the Vietnamese. And they ate whatever was available. ''The food smelled rugged," he said. "That is, it smelled rotten. Smelled dead. Sometimes, it was still moving."

Morris' Jungle 5 unit often traveled with South Vietnam's Rangers, elite special forces troops he said could always be depended on. The Americans wore the same tiger -striped fatigues worn by the Rangers.

"They were better than our camouflage uniforms," he said, adding, ''They were more scary to see when you came across villagers who bad never seen people like us before, but knew we were the 'hired guns."'

Other than the fear of being captured and tortured, Morris said booby traps were their biggest fear. . Explosive charges, designed to maim, not kiti were wired to bodies, weapons, beer cans, North Vietnam flags, soda pop and C-rations, Morris said. Dung-covered nails, glass, rocks and metal shards would blow off fingers, blind or shower an unsuspecting soldier or civilian with flesh-cutting projectiles.

A wounded man is devastating to a mission, Morris said, because two men are taken out of action: the wounded and the man helping him.

"My greatest fear was being overrun by the enemy. But it never happened," he said.

"I remember my sergeant telling me, 'You're going to collapse.' I was scared, but I never collapsed. Even when we were ambushed, we always came out on top. We always seemed to get out of the situation.

"But I still wonder, did I ever face that consequence? Did I ever face that fear? I was in danger. I was scared But I never ... I may never know." o

Laurence C. Washington Reporter

(

On May 20, 1918, World War I was raging. It was on that date that a restles.5 Denverite, 17-year-old John Collins, dropped out of Manual High School and enlisted the Army.

"They gave me a diploma," Collins said reflectively. ''The principal was an old West Pointer. He said, 'You'll learn more discipline there than I can teach you here."'

Collins was sent to Fort Humphreys, Va., (now called Fort Belvoire) where be was trained as a locomotive fireman. After basic training, his unit was stationed at Calais, France. His train unit was assigned a run between Lemans and Bordeaux.

With the German as.uult at Chateau Thierry, the Allies were pushed back and the Battle of the Argonne, a heavily wooded region, began in earnest. The train crews fought

ieby·side with the beleaguered infantry. It was during the tttle of the Argonne, the Allies' offensive against the Hin:nburg line, that Collins was wounded. It was an unwel1me incident for which he was awarded a Purple Heart. ''Sometime over the years, somebody swiped it," Collins id il-a raspy voice. "I don't want another one - I'm too dnow.

"About six months ago, I received a letter that made me ·etty darn mad. The French government wanted to send e, after 70 years, a medal of recognition. 'Boy,' I thought, took 70 years for them to get me a medal.' They can shove upJbeir ass.

"Some people say take it, but I don't have any children to 11.ve it to. And, besides, if the French government couldn't fYits debt back then ..."

•Years later, after the war, Collins was a sheep rancher.

"It was a good life until Hoover wrecked the economy," : r~led. "Then the banks folded, owing me money. That

made a damn good democrat out of me."

Collins' grandfather was a Civil War veteran. He was wounded in the Battle of Vicksburg, where be fought with Union General Ulysses S. Grant.

Collins bas been a charter member of American Legion Post #1 since its formation by General Pershing in 1918, Post #1 was not only the first Legion Post in Colorado. but also the first in the United States.

The "Last Squadron" (founding members of Post #1) purchased two $1.50 bottles ofSunnybrook Aged Whiskey several years ago. The squadron's last surviving member was supposed to toast bis departed friends with the whiskey. The bottles, however, mysteriously disappeared sometime over the years. Post #1 's current members recently purchased substitute bottles for the solemn ceremony which Collins or one of his surviving friends will one day perform.

Collins said he is 90 years young, and is looking forward to marching in this year's Veterans Day Parade. o

Forty-eight years ago he sat in the cockpit of his World War II fighter plane preparing for takeoff. Today, Glenn H. Dorward stands at the front of a class of MSC students and teaches about a love affair he can't part with.

Dorward, an aerospace science teacher, has a neverending passion for flying. Pictures of him in bis younger days reveal a handsome. dark haired pilot in uniform, standing next to an airplane. His pre-World War II passion for flying was an important factor in bis survival during the war.

"Flying bas been my whole life. "You have to love it in order to stay alive ... I had confidence in my flying ability," be said. By the time he was 22, Dorward was a college graduate and a pilot. He wanted to continue flying, but wasn't as eager to join a war.

"I'm.not mad at anybody. It ain't my war," be said at the time. However, he knew that enlisting would be the way to continue bis dream. In September of 1940, Dorward left a girlfriend and his Denver home to become a pilot for the British in the war that was raging overseas. The war the United States had not yet entered.

In May 1942, after Pearl Harbor, Dorward requested a transfer to the American forces, where he stayed until the end of the war. He said bis participation was anything but earth-shaking.

But he descnbed one hair-raising experience when his airplane's engine quit 5,000 feet above the ground. He said it was daytime and he and two crew members were O.ying over Canada back to their base. Then their engine quit. The crew glided until they found a place to land. A mud Oat near Lake Winnipeg turned out to be the landing strip.

Dorward turned off the engine switches before they touched down to avoid a fire. He also pulled up the landing gear to keep the plane from sinking in the mud and going into a cartwheel. The belly landing "nearly wiped out the airplane," but he and the other two crew members escaped injury.

He also recalled the time he flew 360 flying hours over three months. That's 120 flying hours more than what is considered normal and safe. Every 55 minutes, the pilots had to come down to refuel, be said. Eventually, the entire squadron had to be grounded just to get some sleep.

The planes weren't in the best condition either. Dorward said other planes were "canmbalized" for replacement parts for bis own. Or sometimes the planes flew without the minimum equipment necessary.

"With the passage of time you forget the bad times," be said.

He said he always knew he was there to defend democracy.

"Everyone was united in their efforts and never doubted there was a reason for us being there."

Dorward's squadron had people from many different countries, all with one desire - to win the war.

And win they did He returned home as a full colonel. He married the woman he left behind, and together they raised a daughter.

After the war, Dorward flew for United Airlines for 32 years before retiring - but not completely. He occasionally gets a chance to fly and when he's not flying, he can be found at Lowry Air Force Base or in West Classroom where bis office is located. He enjoys teaching, he said, because be sees in some of his students that same intense passion for flying that he bas.

"I'm very fortunate to make a living doing something I love," he said o

Laurence C. Washington Reporter When it happened, it came suddenly without warning. There was a roar ... two brilliant white eyes shining ahead of the blurred body of a huge black insect, no, a car, barreling out of an alley. Charles Todd jumped on top ofthe hood, bounced over the roof, then zipped off the trunk. "SPLAT." "Cut." It might have looked this way on the silver screen. What actually happened was Todd, an MSC student, learning how to roll over a car traveling 55 mph:~

Ch1rl11 Todd.

"I was supposed to jump over the hood, then roll up over the windshield and off the car," Todd said. "Unfortunately, I ran out jumped on the hood, rolled over the hood, went over the windshield, went back down the end of the car, came down on my back, and dislocated my shoulder blade."

TOOd, a theater administration major, has a unique pastime. When he's not performing with the school theatrical group, the MSC Players, he's a stunt man.

"One day I called up the Physical Effects Group [a performing stunt group] agency, and they gave me a physical," explained Todd. "I gave them my picture, and they "' said, 'You look good, we'd like to take you on.'

"It's an awful lot of fun, learning to fall off buildings, roll over cars, that sort of thing.

The part I like most," Todd said with a smile, "is the weapons. I'm taking fencing now through Metro, learning a bit on sword play."

Todd also took cl~ from the Physical Effects Group, where he learned basic falls in the filming of his first mo~e, "Young Guns."

"I filled in for a few shots where they ·~ [actors] got shot off their horses," Todd said.

"Unfortunately a lot of my stunts ended up on the cutting room floor."

To get mentally ready for a fall, Todd imagines himself sitting on the platform.

Most people think about the height of their body, combined with the height of the platform, and it makes them feel as though the jump is even higher, Todd said But be thinks about the distance minus his height, then looks down, and feels it's not that bad.

"After you drop off a building, it's like ~ complete nothing. Then all of a sudden, wham - there's the air bag," Todd said "The free fall is real quiet, but what's going on inside your mind is noisy."

Payment is per stunt and depends on the danger and complexity. For example, falling out of plane can pay $700.

Even though Todd made a good salary during "Young Guns," his main ambition is to do a musical on Broadway. His dream is to "someday perform in 'The Phantom Of The Opera."'

While I was there, I met a writer for USA Today who told me how to survive in L.A. She told me you stay distant from people until you've determined that you want to spend time around them. Sort of like interviewing for friends the way you'd interview someone for a job.

"There is no city here," she told me.

"Only a lot of different groups of people."

Talking to her, I saw an image of thousands of people on a vast plain, gathered into groups just staring at one another. No talkChad Morris ing, no touching. No caring exists between Government Editor them.

Knowing what to look out for made things easier for O'Donnell.

"My whole quality of life changed," she said. But chlorine wasn't the only thing she was allergic to.

She left the hospital after 31 days with a list of 16 safe foods. She spent the next year, she said, "food testing." And foods are only part of the problem. She's also allergic to pollution, plants, animals, perfume, smoke, paint and glue. Basically, she's sensitive to all fragranced items.

a big issue." Without the Disabled Student Center, she added, she wouldn't be at Auraria. Laura Watson, program director for the Office of Disabled Sfudent Services acts as O'Donnell's sense of smell on campus.

"I go out a lot and smell around," Watson said. She searches for odors in hallways and rooms near O'Donnell's classes. She also works with Auraria Higher Education Center Physical Plant to find out when and where construction and remodeling will be taking place.

O'Donnell also depends on students she meets in classes. She often asks cl.as.5mates if they smell anything.

"I get ill," she said. "That's the bottom line." .

In addition to learning how to pay more attention to her body's warning signs, O'Donnell has made a lot of changes in her everyday life.

She carries a glass bottle of Deep Rock water with her wherever she goes. She has to be careful not to enter a room with a humidifier running. And the sprayers some grocery stores have installed in their produce aisles are a problem, she said When eating out, always at non-smoking restaurants, O'Donnell has to ask for a dry glass. And she showers with nose plugs on.

"I washed my face without plugs once and I lost the rest of the day," she said. "I had to go home and sleep it off." O'Donnell has worked around the restrictions since she returned to school three years ago.

She is a member of the National Business Honor Society, Beta Gamma Sigma, and was selected for "Who's Who in American Universities and Colleges in the United States." She expects to graduate in May. The return to school was difficult, and she still bas bad days.

'Without a-CIUe' scores a near-- miss Features Editor

"Without a Clue" entertains when Michael Caine takes cenjer stage, but predictability and uneven pacing almost suffocate his performance.

The movie's basic premise, that Watson created the character of super-detective Sherlock Holmes and was the brains of the outfit mav sound familiar.

It's the television series "Remington Steele" set in o1d London. And it almost works.

Ben Kingsley, as Watson, portrays the meticulous and restrained author who solves London's crimes and writes them up in his . books. He's hired an inept Shakespearean actor, Reginald Kincaid (Michael Cajne), to bring his books' central character to life.

Watson tolerates the bumbling actor until

Kincaid begins to ad-lib in his part as Holmes, declaring a case closed before Watson gives the OK. Watson then reminds · Holmes who is in charge and fires the detective.

Unperturbed by Watson's raving, Kincaid retires to the nearest pub, secure in the knowledge that his public will demand his return.

By this time the characters have been firmly established and expectations are high.

Caine is relaxed and convincing in his role, and it's hard to tell if Kingsley's stiffness is intended as part of the stuffy Watson's character.

The film is best when the two are working their sleuthing routine - pulling the wool over the eyes of Scotland Yard, the press and the public - with the audiences' knowledge.

Caine slips easily into his role, and delivers Holmes' observations with grave selfirnportance while Kingsley's prim Watson shudders in the wings at his mistakes.

But there are too many flat spots. The mystery builds so slowly at first that it goes unnoticed in the movie's clutter. Then it's pulled together in too few frames. Caine makes the most of his role as a liquorswilling reprobate, but a lot of predictable gags dampen his performance. A gang of street urchins shows up as Watson's army of informers, but they take up space that should have been left to Holmes and Watson.

The pacing is jerky, with lengthy unrelated scenes separating infrequent effective ones. The duo takes a trip to England's coutryside to investigate the disappearance of a printer. Holmes is eyed long and slow by the daughter of a local official, and Watson tells

"The SCA is different from fencing in that

Advaneement in the society is strictly by assassination. When a challenge is offered by "nobility" (those with a rank of knight or higher), the victor of a lower rank then moves to the next highest rank, the loser to the next lower rank.

"I've been killed at least 14, 15 times. You get used to dying," Stra~ said.

The weapons approved by the SCA include the standard short foil, a two-handed foil with a longer blade, the polearm, which is a blade attached to a long pole, and the

SPORTS--~~~~~~~~~~~ Chambers.

"At that part of the season, we were mentally and physically drained," Chambers said The loss gave MSC a 8-6-4 record for the year. MSC fell short of its goals for the season, but Chambers was not upset.

"We set lofty goals for ourselves," he said.

MSC was looking to repeat as league champions, and to receive a bid to the NCAA playoffs, he said. Although MSC fell short, Chambers was encouraged that bis team had gained national exposure and respect.

Of their six losses, five were to nationally ranked teams. And excluding the losses to Air Force and Oakland University, MSC played well enough to win, Chambers said.

Metro men lose final soccer game Jay Hauptman Reporter The MSC men's soccer team finished its season with a 2-0 loss to Air Force Academy on the cadets' home field Nov. 2.

MSC started the game playing strongly, but Air Force scored late in the first half and again in the iniddle of the second half 011i a penalty kick. And after the strong beginning, MSC played flatly, said head coach Bill

However, he did note that captains Jeff Fletcher, Mis Mrak and D.J. Ruder gave MSC consistent play and strong leadership, and Abdulmonem Al-Majid was MSC's second leading scorer. All four graduate in May. In addition to the seniors, Chambers acknowledged several underclassmen. Sophomore Tim Yunger had a great year in the stopper position, and junior Joe Okob was valuable for his goal scoring punch. Junior Randy Tallent and freshman Chino Melendez played consistently and gave the team quality minutes, be said. ,...

Sophomore goalie Craig Lammering was also recognized.

"He's pretty solid. Sometimes I think we take him for granted," he said. o

MSC gained both experience and confidence against national caliber opponents, but Chambers was not sure how much these qualities will carry over to next year's team.

"We are graduating four seniors this year," be said.

Also because of the nature of MSC's student body, where students come and go, he is unsure of the return of his remaining undergraduate players.

"I don't count on getting everybody back," he said When asked to single out players who performed well this year, Chambers was hesitant, stressing the team's play as a unit.

"That's really tough to do," be said, adding he did not want to ignore anyone's contnbution.

Saturday the Roadrunners lost to 11th-ranked University of Tampa (9-15, 13-15, 15-13, 9-15) before rebounding to defeat 18th-ranked East Texas State (5-15, 15-9, 12-15, 15-13, 15-8).

MSC's volleyball team extended its win: '" ning streak to 15 consecutive matches last week before finally running out of gas and players, and taking a tumble against nationally ranked Division II competition.

After trouncing visiting University of Alaska-Anchorage(15-8, 15-12, 15-7), Nov. 2, MSC traveled to Colorado Springs for the Air Force Academy Premier Tournament Nov. 4-6.

dropped to 28-9. Playing five ranked teams back to back with only seven players finally took its toll, a~rding to Tamblin.

"It's incredible we did as well as we did under the circumstances," she said. "All the teams we played were good teams.

"Becky [Kofoed] and Dionna [Ward] did very well for us. They both were our big hitters and Heather [Hotchkiss] played steady as usual."

Tamblin also noted the strong play of freshmen Kelly Faubian and Loma Dubois who filled in admirably.

But there just weren't enough players for back-to-back matches as mental and physical fatigue set in, finally contributing to the D team's losses.

The MSC women's soccer team drenched coach Ed Montojo with ice water at the conclusion of its 4-0 victory over Colo· rado Baptist University.

The bath was a fitting display of the kind of camaraderie and enthusiasm the team has exhibited all season. With a win in their final game Nov. 5, Metro finished with a 10-4-2 record and secured a No. 19 ranking in Division II. Though the team missed a postseason playoff bid, the season was a success by any other measure. In mid September, the lady kickers climbed to No. 9 in the Division II soccer poll after an upset win over Southern Methodist University. It was the highest ranking any Metro team has ever achieved in any sport. Battling injuries and a tough schedule, the Roadrunners remained in the playoff hunt until the season's second-to-last weekend "I ·thought we had a real good season," Montojo said "The four losses that we had were all to Division I schools. We were competitive in all our games."

The team's consistency throughout the campaign was particularly noteworthy, Montojo said "I thought we played really strong through the middle part of the season when we were banged up," he said. "We got some good play out of our reserves Amber Glover and

Michelle Froechtenight. They really came in and played well."

In their game against Colorado Baptist, the Roadrunners were playing for pride and per~ps a little statistic padding.

Metro's high scoring tandem of Cindi W eishapl and Bridgette Leisure paced the Roadrunner's attack. W eishapl scored the

Sandwiched between the two tallies were Glover's first goal of the season and Leisure's tenth. .W eishapl edged Leisure for team scoring honors 25 points to 23, with 10 goals and five imists. Leisure matched W eishapl in goals and had three imists.

Junior backup goalie Michelle Carroll registered her second shutout of the season for the Roadrunners. Senior starter Jan Holland sat out the final two games to give Carroll some valuable playing time. Holland is the only player Montojo will lose to graduation.

"Next year is the year we'll be looking for," Montojo said, anticipating the return of a strong and seasoned squad. o

Some SCA members, like Strauss's freshmen classmate Warren Baker, favor the combat.

"I'm not much on the titles or the medieval stuff," Baker said "I guess I'm more American that way. I like the intensity of the battles, the adrenalin rush. I like becoming somebody else out there other than what I am. It's a lot like real battle. When you get killed, it's like you've got to say to yourself, 'hey, I'm dead,' and you can't just get up and keep fighting."

Strauss agreed. "You definitely become somebody else when you put on the helm," he said. "You become a certain character.

For me, I think I become more assertive, yell and shout a lot. It becomes very real."
