ETROPOLITA_~ MSC slapped :with lawsuit Gayle Neyman Copy Editor

A lawsuit charging MSC with age discrimination bas been filed in federal court by the Equal Employment ~pportunity Commission. . The complaint, filed Sept. 27, alleges that the college unlawfully modified the terms of Marguerite Shackelford's employment "She was a supervisor in the accounts payable department and they demoted her, and did some other things to her that . we felt were uncalled for," said Joseph Sims, a trial attorney ,.... for EEOC. According to the complaint, Shackleford was forced into early retirement on Aug. 31, 1987. "She certainly alleged that that's the case. I don't believe the college would agree with that," said Bruce Pech, an attorney for Metro. "She was reassigned to different duties." ~ Pech referred further questions to the State Attorney General's office. Sims said the next step would be to wait for the college to resoond to the complaint. Metro has 20 days from the date of Service to respond, according to the federal clerk of the oourt's office. However, the clerk's office had no infor-. -nation about whether the college had been served. Once the college responds to the complaint, Sims said, the EEOC will begin taking formal interrogatories, written questions, asking the college "to explain under oath what happened in her case in detail," Sims said. "We11 interview various people in her department." • According to the complaint, representatives of EEOC tried through informal methods to get the college to voluntarily comply with the Age Discrimination in Employment Act before filing the lawsuit EEOC is askingfor Sbackelford's reinstatement, back pay and damages. \ Officials from the Equal Opportunity Office at Metro declined to ~ the case.

'Westword's' A bas -defends CU story •

David 0. Wllllams The Metropolitan

To Bryan Abas, his article about the University of Colorado football coach Bill McCartney, his daughter and the late Sal Aunese titled "That Sinning Season" "' [Westword 8/30), was a straight-ahead run right up the middle. Publicly, though, Abas and W estword have been blitzed from all sides. In the two ~ues of Westword following the controversial article, there have been 12 letters blasting the story and a mere three supporting it Several advertisers have pulled their ads from W estword. And the rest of the front range media has roasted Abas and his editors for running the story. Despite the negative response and the fact

..J •

that Sal Aunese, the former CU quarterback and the f8tbec ofBuffS' coach Bill McCartney's grandson, died lt5 than two weeks ago of stomach cancer, Ahas has had no second thoughts about the way the article was written or the decision that it was news. "No regrets - absolutely none - about having run the article," said Abas. "On the judgment about whether it's news? No. About the manner in which the story was written? No. About the timing of the story? No. No regrets." The Westward article was the first to openly discuss the fact that Timothy Mc.<:artney is the son of Aunese and Kristyn McCartney, Bill McCartney's daughter. Ata memorial service for Aunese in Boulder on Sept 25, McCartney said publicly for the first time that Aunese was the father of 6-

month-old Timothy, his grandson. Both Denver dailies ran stories on Sept 26 focusing on McCartney's remarks. Many critics of the Westward article said that it was no more than a rehash of the well-documented problems surrounding the CU football program and that the only new piece of information was the part dealing with Aunese and Kristyn's relationship and their son Timothy. Even that, it was charged, was unsubtantiated. That lack ofevidence, said Mike Madigan, the news editor at the Rocky Mountain News, was the main factor in the News' decision not to run anything on the Aunese/ Kristyn McCartney situation despite rumors that have been Boating around since eaily this year. "At that time," Madigan said, "we didn't

think that there was enough evidence, that it was substantiated enough. It was a big campus rumor." Madigan was the sports editor at the News at the time of the W estword article. Abas said his story was substantiated and that the main reason the Denver dailies did nothing with the story was that they have a . hands-off policy regarding CU. "The editors of the dailies are reluctant to offend a program that is widely followed. They give it [CU] an awful lot of free publicity, and it's the flasship institution of higher learning in the state. When you have editors with backbones made of jelly, like at the dailies, they are rductant to go after an established part of the system like that," Ahas said. •Mll111-8

Customarily, after the dance somebody pays the piano player. Right after the dance. Likewise, after the journalism department's April 8 alumni banquet at the Warwick Hotel, perhaps somebody should have paid the $1,825 hotel bill before more than five and a half months elapsed.

Both MSC's athletic director and the men's basketball coach support a proposed federal law requiring colleges to disclose how many of their athletes graduate, but they agree it would not have much effect on MSC. The bill, called the StudentAthlete Right to Know Act, is cosponsored by Rep. Tom McMillen, [D-Md.], and Sen. Bill Bradley, [D-NJ.]. McMillen told the Associated Press that the bill is "designed to provide the students and parents with valuable information about the school they are considering." "I like the idea," said Bill Hellman, MSC athletic director. "I think schools should have to be up front and have to show whether they're bringing people in there and getting them graduated, or whether they're just using them and they're discarded in four years." But where the rule would really come into play, said Hellman, is with big time Division I college athletics. MSC competes primarily at the NCAA Division II level. ''That need to take advantage of athletes and to get the best athletes

in without worrying about education doesn't even exist at this level," Hellman said. "It's not that we're so pure or perfect. It's just a matter of the economics of the situation." The millions of dollars in revenues at stake for teams involved in the college football bowls and the NCAA badretball tournament, Hellman said, puts a lot of pressure on coaches, athletic departments, and even the presidents of universities to win. For that reason, Bob Hull, the MSC men's basketball coach, likes the bill. "I think it's going to put pressure on schools that aren't graduating kids," he said. "There are some football factories that

Or at the very least, someone should have paid the $1,445 collected from the students who paid before attending. Early Tuesday morning, Sept 26, Kay McLoud, who is in charge of accounts receivable at the Warwick Hotel, said she sent a statement with all the backup information on April 17 to Deb Hurley, a professor in the MSC journalism department. McLoud also sent a copy of the statement in May and June and July and August and September. Hearing nothing from anyone at Metro, McLoud said she called the journalism department Aug. 19, Aug. 31 and again on Sept 21. "These accounts are usually due in 30 days," McLoud said. "It's going to be a little difficult for them the next time they want to book a function." Mcloud said the Warwick Hotel deals with a lot of colleges and universities around the area, and that's why she didn't expect to have any trouble collecting the money from Metro. "We get people coming in here

to book a function and it's the practice in the industry to ask for other hotel references," McLoud said. "Hotels call those references to see how the people paid. They might say, 'Oh, they're a 60-day account,' or 'They're slow in paying.' If it's a government agency you can look at 45 days, but I don't know what's going on here. We have vendors to pay, too, you know. We could sure use the almost $2,000, believe me." McLoud also said if this becomes a six-month's-past-due account, "that will flip this into a whole new plateau," regarding credit "Even if they go somewhere else next time," she said, "they're going to have to reference with us." When contacted, supervisor to accounts payable in the MSC business office Sylvia Atencio, said that they had originally received a check request for the $1,825 with just a statement and no backup information attached. "When we get a check request to pay a hotel, we want to know what it's for," Atencio said. "It's our policy to request the backup before we pay a bill We'd like to know what it's for - dinners, rooms, liquor or what - at this hote1r· Hurley said in an interview on Sept. 26 that, although the students who attended the banquet had paid $1,445, she was short $385 when the April bill came in. The $1,825 bill covered the following items: $1,680 for the food, a $50 set-up fee, $50 bartender's fee, $30

for a slide projector and $15 for a

screen. Hurley said that Dean Larry Johnson's office agreed to make up the difference. Hurley turned all the paperwork over to Joan Foster in Johnson's office and thought the bill had been paid. "Knowing how this place works and [with] the fiscal year ending on June 30, I thought they were busy closing out the books," Hurley said. "I think the problem is that nowhere is it written down how to pay a bill around here, or at least I don't know how it works," Hurley said. "I didn't know they [the business office] needed a complete listing. It's [the backup information] been sitting here." Hurley said she called Foster when she got the statement again in August, and Foster also thought it had been paid. "We started all over again," Hurley said, "got everybody's signature. Joan [Foster] walked it around personally." Foster said she had been in the hospital twice this summer, but she didn't want to discuss the problem because she didn't want the business office to think she was being critical in any way. "rve found them to be very cooperative in the business office." she said. When The Metropolitan called Atencio Tuesday afternoon, Sept 26, she said the bill had been approved for payment in full, and the check would be prooes.5ed. Atencio said that the normal

turnaround time on a check request is about a week and she didn't want people to think that this was the fault of her department. "You know, I have three people working under me, and they're A NumberOne," Atenciosaid. "They work very hard and they're very smart" Atencio also said that when people send in check requests with something missing, her department notifies them what is lacking. Ifthey don't send the check request back through, she has no control over that Late that same afternoon, McLoud said she was pretty happy the whole thing had been cleared up. But Mcloud oouldn't understand why someone didn't send her the $1,445 that had been collected from the students. She said an extension could have been granted for the balance due. "I think on future functions, we'll ask Metro for a 50 percent deposit in advance - especially if the students are pre-paying for theirdinners,"Mcl.oudsaid. "Then if the bill is paid like it should be, we can go back to a normal procedure. Then we can go back to full payment in 30 days, if they pay us the other 50 percent upon completion of the function. We want to be fair to them." When The Metropolitan called McLoud on Oct. 3, she said the check had come in over the weekend, and she posted it Monday Oct. 2. She said she was very pleased that it's all over. o

Meeting to discuss racism catches fire me this is subtle racism. Whatever the excuse, this is not acceptable." Oteo, elaborating further about campus racism, suggested that the library had a void in the amount of black literature it provided. The concerns were addressed by faculty and administrators present, including Percy Morehouse, the director of the equal o~ portunity office and assistant to the president.

Richard Sclbelll Jr. News Editor

A special meeting called among minority faculty, administrators and students became a volatile discussion surrounding the issue of racism, igniting Central Clamoom Room 301 Tues., Oct. 3. The gathering was the result of recent articles that have appeared in The Metropolitan, as well as individual complaints of racism registered by several students, said Jennifer Jackson, staffassistant to the school of Letters, Arts and Sciences. "(They] called us yesterday, and it [the meeting] happened today," Jennifer Jackson said. Gwen Thomas, assistant vice president of student affairs, Irene Blea, of the sociology department, Karen Thorpe, assistant vice president of student affairs, and Vice President Antonio Esquibel, called the meeting. Jennifer Jackson said the meeting was intended to address the problem of racism on the campus and what minority students need to effectively deal with it The issue of racism at Metro was fueled when Black Student Alliance President Lisa Calderon accused Student Senator Joel Kleg of making racist remarks in a constitutional law class last spring. Kleg retained bis seat because be was not a senator when the alleged statements were made. Kleg and the issue engulfing him did not go untouched Tuesday afternoon. One student, who declined to be identified, suggested that if be had made the same. comment that Kleg had been accused of making he would have been "lynched" by "every white student [on campus]." "Get him off the Senate," he said. However, getting Kleg impeached may not be that simple. Student Trustee Terry Thomas said if this is to be achieved a petition must be completed with approximately 1,200 student signatures. Thomas' statement drew mixed reactions. "I just can't see that happening," the anonymous student said:: In addition to the much-publicized Kleg incident, additional accusations of racism were brought forward. Presenting the forum with the Sept. 29 issue of The Metropolitan, BSA member Elizabeth Oteo referred to the BSA Meeting story that appeared on Page 3. "The picture is blurred." Oteo said. "To

Student Senator Joe Navarro supported Morehouse, but stated that multi-cultural classes should be made required courses. "(It should] be mandatory for every student to take black studies [and] women's studies," Navarro said. "We are alienated everywhere, even in the cafeteria." Gwen Thomas assured Navarro and the forum that "every effort was being made" to do that "Since 1965, we have tried to make those courses mandatory," Thomas said. "We stand a better chance than we had before." But to criminal justice Professor Richard Jackson chances are not enough. Richard Jackson waited the forty-five minutes he had promised his sister Jennifer before speaking, thus throwing what proved to be a curve into the discussion with his outspoken position.

We are not gomg to be passive, we are not comfortable ... you [Gwen Thomas] are." "How dare you tell me I am comfortable. You don't know how I feel," Thomas said pounding her fist on the table. "You don't .... know." Regardless, it was evident that many attending are not comfortable. "We are two steps away from violence on this campus," Student Senator Gerri Madrid said. "Any moment," Terry Thomas added. Violence, however, was not seen as a solution to the majority. "We need our voices heard, [but] not in a violent way," Madrid said. "The bigger our voice the more we will be heard." Madrid said she believed writing letters to the editor was one ~ible medium for expanding that voice. However, some Metro Senators have suggested that letter writing surrounding Kleg and the racism issue should be ceased. Overall the meeting missed its target ·according to Gwen Thomas. "It should bav~ been more productive, and could have been more productive," Thomas said. As far as solutions to racism on campus we are going to have to meet again. 0 ~

mentioned previously that bis department graduates more than 80 percent of its minorities. It is because of this success rate that Jackson said he believes retention is ~ible.

Immediately after bis address, Jackson exited the room, followed by several students in an apparent show of support. Responding to Jackson, Akbarali Thobbani, director of intercultural studies stressed to those present that the faculty "is going to be there."

"I don't need to have my integrity at- ... tacked," Tbobhani added. Sparks flew even higher when it was suggested by Carolyn Moore, a student attending, that Gwen Thomas may not be considering racism to be that serious of an issue on campus. "I'm not asking you to bare your back to me," Moore said. "[We are] not asking to see · your wounds ... your lashes on our back.

Morehouse said that studies were currently being done to look at what other institutions are doing to deal with racism. Presently being considered is a program that is being used by the University of Maryland where race relations have taken on a violent nature in the past. Details of that program were not elaborated upon.

"If you think anyone in this room is going to do anything you're sadly mistaken," Jackson said. "I've been here eight and a half years ... I think this meeting is basically a runaround."

Journalist exposes evils of Aryans Judy Floyd

The Metropolitan

What began as a lark for journalist Peter Lake in September 1983 almost ended in his assassination l~ than six months later. In the fall of 1983, the freelance journalist infiltrated "Posse Comitatus," a white supremacy faction which denies the right of the U.S. government to govern its citizens. During the next few months, Lake witn~ and surreptitiously filmed the clandestine, sometimes bii.arre, activities of the various white supremacist organii.ations. In January 1984, a Los Angeles television station aired parts of the videotape. and indentified Lake. His cover was blown. Lake's name was added to a "hit list" that the radical, heavily armed groups had compiled. His name appeared fourth on the list. The name of controversial radio talk-show host Alan Berg was first On June 18, 1984, Berg was shot and killed in front of his Denver home. Although Lake's name moved up a notch and although he had betrayed the group, the sentence of death has yet to be carried out. Despite the lingering threat, Lake speaks to audiences across the country about his undercover experiences. If Lake has fears for his safety, be hid them quite well during his low key, sometimes humorous speech at St. Cajetan's Center on Sept. 26. More than 200 pe0ple heard Lake tell of his brief life as a neo-Nazi. Seemingly undeterred by the events of June 18, 1984, Lake warned of the continuing danger of white supremacy. "Racism is alive and well in the United States and will be for some time to come," Lake said. "Racism touches everyone in this country." When he first infiltrated the organii.ation, this awareness was lacking, and his motives were quite simple. "When I be~an. I had no idea ... I was very naive," Lake said. "It was kind of a lark. I asked myself 'How serious can these guys be?' "These guys" go by many names - Ku Klux Klan, the Posse Com.itatus, the Order, the Brotherhood, the Aryan Nation - but they have one common goal. "They have dedicated the~elves to a white-only nation," Lake said. ''They are at war with the United States." Their message is one of hatred and bigotry, Lake said. They hate Jews, blacks, Communists, Catholics - anyone who is not a member of the so-called "Aryan race," anyone who is not a caucasian of nonJewish descent. Their leaders blame society's ills on the Jews, just as their Nazi predecessors did

more than 40 years ago. Two of their more notorious leaders were the Rev. Richard Butler, founder of the Aryan Nation, and Bruce Pierce, member of the Order and convicted murderer. Most supremacists believe the Bible "urges" them to hate and hurt their enemies, Lake said.

"I started to believe them ... and then I became paranoid," Lake said. Although a bomber might not be part of the tactics, the supremacists had many designs. In the early- to mid- l 980s, they planned and carried out various armed

In spite of their doctrine of hatred and S£'phisticated weaponry, Lake's new-found "friends" were incredibly gullible. They never questioned his story that be was a tropical-fish salesman nor seemed concerned when he inadvertently signed his real name to a document rather than the alias be had given them. Under their apparently unseeing eyes, Lake easily passed off his new Bible as used after he baked it in the microwave for a few minutes. The supremacists never questioned his allegiance or bis motives. Although they devised grandiose schemes to sabotage the government, the revolutionists often seemed downright stupid, and some were almost comic figures. There's the neo-Nazi who decorated his house with pictures of Adolph Hitler and sometimes sported the clothes of an SS officer. Then there's the now infamous David Lane who wondered aloud to Lake if they could rent a bomber and bomb the U.S. Capitol. The simple-minded idea, of course, was never executed. And Lane busied himself with other matters - namely, the murder of Berg. It's easy to see why the journalist could not quite believe his ears when he began his undercover asfilgnment Soon, however, Lake began to fear the group.

robberies at banks, devised numerous counPRODIGY _..._s.-. terfeit schemes and accumulated a "$4.1 IBM Personal Sysu:m/2 ind PS/2 are registered trademarks or the million war chest," Lake said. "And then, lntcrmuonal Business Machines Corporation. they really got serious. They planned to rob a Brink's bank of $20 million to acquire•.,..lllP---i-.1"'"""• shoulder-fire missiles." As part of the plan to overthrow the government, the federation plotted to estalr lish a separate nation in the northwestern part .of the United States, Lake said. Instead, they gunned down Alan Berg. With his murder, things began to fall apart for the supremacists. The FBI, which Lane said was slow to recognize the danger of these groups, conducted the largest manhunt against domestic terrorism in FBI history. For more than a year, agents followed one trail after another. Some led nowhere; others to the arrests of bit playe;;;. One by one, the major players - including Bruce Pierce and David Lane - were arrested. They were convicted of racketeering, bombings and violating Berg's civil rights. Most are serving prison sentences in federal penitentiaries. During the early 1980s, the KKK numbered almost 250,000 activists, Lake said. Now, the Klan has shrunk to less than 10,000. "Their image is changing," Lake said. No longer do they strut around in white robes and pointed hats. "They put on a suit and tie, blow dry their hair and get elected to office," he said. In fact, an avowed klansman - David Dukes - was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives a few months ago. "We must recognize it and do something about it," Lake said.

I think we've been a lot more aggressive on that story than anyone else in the city, and we've taken a lot of heat on it. The University of Colorado has accused us of being too tough on them, of picking on them." Those "off-the-field problems" were the basis of a Sports Illustrated article in February, ''What Price Glory?" The article recounted the arrest of 18 players on the 1987 football team, including three for rape. A unese himself spent 14 days in jail after being arrested and charged with burglary, criminal mischief, assault and trespassing following an incident in a CU dormitory. For that reason and others, Ahas said, Aunese was not the saint that the Colorado media depicted him as following the diagnosis of his cancer on March 30 or his death on Sept. 23. He accused the press of lionizing a man of questionable moral character. "They created a myth, even though they know the myth is totally false," Abas said. "The first thing that's inexcusable about it is making a hero out of a 21-year-old cancer victim and ignoring an 81-year-old cancer victim under the guise that the 21-year-old cancer victim is somehow more tragic. "The second way that it's inexcusable is to make a hero out of someone who played football, for God's sake. It's a game. You don't make heroes out of people who play games well. . "And the third way it's inexcusable is that it's done totally without regard to how he conducted his life. Just because someone died of cancer doesn't mean that you can cast a blind eye to how that person acted in life. We're dealing with a person who epitomized what was wrong with the football team. He's a convict. He abused his relationship with the coach by engaging in sex with his daughter in an abusive, unloving, uncaring

manner. That demonstrated more clearly than anything that you can do or say that he has contempt for at least one woman whom he treated like a used dishrag that you throw in a gutter.

"Sure, you can question Aunese's character," Madigan said, "but those stories were reported at the time. And, in fact, I think we led the way in aggressively reporting his off-the-field problems, but that's history at this point. Now we're talking about a 21-. year-old kid who's involved in a really tragic, emotional drama and that's a story. There was nothing covered up in the end. Nevertheless, here's a kid who, despite his shortcomings, proved to handle himself pretty well and certainly handled the illness better than I guess most of us would." Much of the Abas article was taken from articles published in the Boulder Daily Camera. Many of the sources quoted, including students and football players, wished to remain anonymous. And the major players involved - McCartney, his wife, his daughter, Aunese, Aunese's family, and Bill Marolt, the CU athletic director - all

refused comment to Ahas. "I would have preferred to talk to them," Abas said. 'That would have given me insights that the story I wrote didn't have. I gave every one of them multiple opportunities to talk to me. And, not having the opportunity to talk to them, I went with the best I had." The reason they would not talk to him, Abas said, is that they were wary of Westword as a result of an article published last spring, or that possibly they thought that by not commenting, they could kill the story. "We got wind that he [Abas) was going to write a pretty bad article," said Becky Yahn, an assistant sports information director at CU. It [the Aunese/K.ristyn situation] was somethlllg that everyone knew- something that Coach McCartney knew, but nobody in the sports department was going to comment on it. Rumors had begun circulating about Kristyn's pregnancy as early as last December, when Aunese was taken out of the Freedom Bowl against BYU and replaced by current Buffs' quarterback Darian Hagan. The mc:dia i:lid pursue those rumors at that time and at various times since. "We went to McCartney at that time and said, 'Look, do you want to address these rumors?' And McCartney basically stonewalled us. There were no sources," Madigan said. "Right before the W estword story came out, we met the same situation with McCartney. We felt that if we wrote the article, it was going to look like nothing more than a kind of malicious attempt to embarrass the family." Abas said that his sources were reliable and that everything he wrote was verified. His chief source for reporting that Aunese was the father of Timothy was a person who attended a Denver breakfast meeting where McCartney discussed his faith. The anonymous party who was in attendance said that McCartney "told the gathering of about two dozen people that Aunese was the father of Kristyn's child"

That, and conversations Ahas had with students and football players was enough to go on, Ahas said, and the rest of the media _. was remiss in not reporting on the story. "What you hear from the editors of the dailies, when they attempted to argue that it was not newsworthy, was actually whining about having been beaten to a good story," Abas said "And the proofofthat is that both ofthem broke stories about it after McCartney oonfirmed it. There was no difference between the stories, except that McCartney had implicitly given them permission to publish it by mentioning it in front of 2,000 people [at Aunese's funeral]." "I suspect that the fact that they are .; su~ful this year increased the reluctance of the editors to go after them [CU]," Ahas said. The Buffs are ranked number three in the country in USA Today and Associated Press polls. "The editors of the daily newspapers in

this town have a habit of playing 'I have a secret' - sort of an elitist approach to journalism iliat says 'we are only going to share with our readers those stories which we are willing to share and which we think we can share with them without getting ourselves in trouble.' At W estword, we don't make judgments like that. We don't keep secrets." "There was some question about the taste and tone of the story," Madigan said. "How important was it for every guy on the street to know that McCartney's daughter was not married and had a baby?" The backlash has been furious. Regardless of whether W estword was fulfilling the public's right to know: or, as some contend, performing a vicious smear job on a courageous family, the costs in readers and advertising have been high. "I would rather not be specific," Jim Rizzi, sales director at Westword, said "rd rather just say that, yes, some advertisers pulled their accounts." D

The student stands up in front of the class. The topic of her speech will be the difference between small-town and big-city life. She smiles and approaches a member of the audience. ''Sir, where do you live?" she asks. Suddenly, the instructor's voice cuts through the room. "How many of you could not hear her?" he shouts. He is answered by a jumble of loud responses. The speech goes on for three minutes. The ,. timekeeper yells "Cut!" The instructor lets out a sigh of exasperation. "What," he asks, "was wrong with the speech?" "Eye contact," shout the audience. "Introduction, movement, volume, articulation!" "Gestures and vocal variety?" asks the speaker. "Gestures and vocal variety!" Affirm the audience in unison. They applaud loudly as she steps down.

"All right, next speech," says the instruc-tor. "Let's move al~ng. H~I" Mike Trimble is the MSC instructor, and the class is speech 101. On this day, the students need no cues from Trimble to march to the front of the class and deliver their speeches. He taught them the proper procedures, along with a healthy dose of self-responsibility, back at the beginning of the semester. Now he sits off to the side in his loud red jacket, conferring with today's selfdesignated speakers. The second speaker is up and ready to go before the first has even finished. "Sir, would you keep this pencil warm, please?" says Trimble. The speaker takes the pencil; how it is held is part of the test. When the speaker finishes, be responds to questions from the audience. "Enough of the questions, let's get done with the questions," says Trimble. "What do you have to say about the speech?" "Desire to communicate, rate!" shout audience members. "Everybody!" says Trimble. "Eye contact and vocal variety," states the audience in unison. "Gestures and eye contact!" "Notice he never used any of the muscles below the turtleneck," says Trimble. "Could you introduce the next humanoid, please?" The next speaker compares rock concerts at Red Rocks and Fiddler's Green. She receives raucous positive response from the audience. Trimble, however, isn't so quick to praise. "She's becoming a female priest and talking like she's in a confessional," he says. Later, a speaker writes some words on the chalkboard that are pertinent to his speech. "He looks like he's writing on the bathroom wall!" scolds Trimble.

"Volume, movement, conclusion," shouts the audience. "In this man, we have Marcel Marceau," concludes Trimble. "He didn't move his lips." The class is actually a scientific process Trimble has developed over 22 years of teaching. The process evolved from his negative reaction to the methods used by the speech teacher at the all-boys seminary he attended as a youth. "He couldn't even read a pornography magazine well," said Trimble with a laugh. For every speech, Trimble requires six prerequisites and 12 procedures. A speech must be short and concise. Like a written paragraph, it must have an introduction, a main body and a conclusion. All speeches are followed by questions and reactions from the audience. Speakers must introduce each other. Trimble tries to fit 10 speeches into every SO-minute period, keeping the class moving at a lightening pace. He suggests his students do research for &ea Trlmbla pg. 14

OP/ED Stranger Than Fiction By Chad Morris Of course it had to happen on a Monday. The weekend had been long and rarely sober. All I wanted to do was get to school, drink some coffee and pick up the pieces. That was before the long arm of the law reached out and touched someone - me. You see, I ride the bus down from Boulder and I put my bike in the luggage compartment and then ride it to school. Simple enough, right? But with the configuration of the streets downtown, I have a hard time picking a route to get to campus. I usually try different ones to see which is the quickest. Ex-bicycle racers tend to have a fixation on speed. So far, the fastest path was to go up a block on the 16th Street Mall, then a right on Larimer and straight down to school. Somehow, despite the sluggishness of my thoughts and actions, I should have been more alert because no sooner was I on Larimer than I heard the distinctive low rumble of a police motorcycle. I glanced to my left and saw a stubby little guy packed into jodhpurs motioning me over to the side of the street. You must be joking, I thought. It was only a matter of time before one of these guys got you, my conscience replied. It's humiliating enough to be pulled over in a car, but on a bike! You're totally exposed, there's no where to hide. These two-stroke cowboys had me surrounded -the first guy had his motorcycle parked in front of my bike, guarding for the fast get-away and the second, who'd just appeared, sat a few feet behind, obviously expecting me to go for the Uzi I keep in my satchel. My disgust must have shown, because Jodhpurs was all cop when he asked for my ID and informed me that bicycles were not allowed on the Mall. When I tried to explain that I see people riding bikes on it all the time, he curtly informed me that I had ridden right past the warning sign. Ouch. While they ran me through the computer - after all, most cyclists are, or have been, vicious sociopathic lunatics at one time or another [don't laugh, it's a wellknown fact]. I tried to remember what Michael Shannon's article on being pulled over had suggested one do. Somehow, with all the pudgy, polyester and Bo Jackson Air-Trainer-clad secretaries waddling by, I didn't feel right about crying. I was wearing pants, so showing a bit of thigh was also out of the question and I had a hard time believing ol' Jodhpurs would be swayed by beefy bicycle thighs anyway. Usually, no matter how much I disagree with the call, I manage to say "thanks" to the cop. They are, you know, just doing their job. But with these two, I sensed a deeper meaning to their single-minded pursuit of law and order. The way Jodhpurs looked at my bike, helmet and riding jacket clearly indicated that he knew I was more than a casual rider. Some local bicycle messengers had told me of two cops who specialized in tagging cyclists and I began to suspect I was now in their clutches. After Jodhpurs handed me my ticket, he walked back to his cohort. There was no "you can go now," no "see you in court," just complete disregard. I finally turned and asked if I could leave, he nodded. I cut across four lanes of traffic without signaling, ran a red light and considered hitting a pedestrian just to give the guy something real to write me up for. As far as I know, he's still back there talking to his partner about an old "CHiPs" episode. What a great way to start the week. And I owe it all to a couple of overweight, overzealous motorcycle cops who, for some reason, get to putter up and down the 16th Street Mall on 500-pound motorcycles, while my 19-pound bike and I get to pay their salaries. There ought to be a law.

LETTERS

Senator's position questioned Editor, Once again I find myself in need of responding to allegations being put forth by an individual who claims to be a minority student of this institution. It would seem that Joe Navarro has taken it upon himself to implicate me as a racist and bring forth the events that took place in the spring semester of last year. I had hoped that the decision of the attorney general pertaining to the subject would have closed the matter, but I see that this is clearly not the case. The student to whom I refer considers himself to be an expert on racial matters. In fact, he has taken it upon himself to express the views and feelings of the entire white race, and he wishes to speak for African Americans as well. In his last editorial [Spring '88) he did the same for all Anglos - a simple case of ridiculous absurdum? Is it possible for one man to speak for, or should I say about, so many people? Though I found his article to be trashy at best, it at least brought the question of equal rights to the forefront. Why would any student who claims to be an advocate of minority rights make so many open statements denouncing the entire white population? The only reasonable explanation is that he is a racist- pure and simple. The kind of person who would judge another on the color of their skin and stereotype an entire segment of our population for the exact same reason. I am appalled that the student in question chose to align his beliefs with the campus chapter of M.E.Ch.A .. a group that is dedicated to advancing the opportunities for Chicano and Latino students on campus. The views that he expressed are certainly his own and do not parallel those expressed in the M.E.Ch.A. charter. I feel it important to distinguish between organizations that are out to advance opportunities for their peoples, and others that simply wish to denounce any group that does not share their beliefs and color of skin. Mr. Navarro clearly belongs to the latter. Why is this student out to label me a racist? Certainly he could find something better to do with his time. As I recall he made some ridiculous allegations last spring that the faculty of Metropolitan State College were flunking students based on their respective ethnic backgrounds. To support his claim he quoted some statistics of yet unknown origin. I, being a mathematics major, immediately responded that statistics can be _used to support or disprove any claim and asked him for a specific example. After a distinctive stutter he managed to, yes indeed, quote me more statistics. Drivel of such magnitude should either be supported or thrown out with the garbage, which I might add should have been the destiny of the editorial Joe wrote.

In his now famous article, Mr. Navarro misstated the following: a) MSC minority enrollment is low [read Minority retention falls short] . b) African Americans were the only people brought to this country in chains, and the only people that fought and died for basic human and civil rights. [Many, many people fall into this category, some of which were even white]. c) Minorities lag behind wh ite people in democratic rights [see the United States Constitution, or better yet the MSC Constitution]. d) There is a system of apartheid in America [the correct geographic location for this phenomena is South Africa]. I hope that other minority students can see the contrast between white American and white South Africa. e) White males are not victims of racism [Student should read his own article, Racism demands new solutions) . f) This is 1989, that was long ago and I had nothing to do with that. [He got the right year and it was a very long time ago. But I find it hard to believe that he would like to hold me or anyone else responsible for what happened hundreds of years ago. Following his train of thought I would be responsible for the actions of Ted Bundy; after all, Ted did not live quite so long ago and, more importantly, he was white) . . About the only thing he said in his article that made any sense was: "This institution can play an important and critical role in breaking down racial barriers." In order for this to happen we as students need to start respecting the rights of others. No two people of the world hold the same views. Each of us see things in a different and unique way. This in turn is what makes the world such a wonderful place to live. As long as we allow stereotyping to continue, be it minority toward majority or vice versa , we as a society will be confronted with the issue of racism. Finally, I would like to say that I think the time has come for Senator Navarro to resign his seat in the ASMSC Senate. Each and every member of the Senate is charged with the responsibility of representing all of the students of MSC, not just those that happen to share their color of skin. No person with Joe's slanted views towards white people could possibly represent all students of Metropolitan State College.

EDITORIAL

Journalistic ethics always debatable •

'.,..

Many people, many journalists, joke and say that the phrase "ethics in journalism" is an oxymoron [a figure of speech combining seemingly contradictory expressions]. Others, not joking at all, say flat out that there simply is no ethics in the field of journalism, while still others argue about what is ethical in multitudinous and various hypothetical and real situations. I have participated in not one, but two, ethics in journalism classes at Metro: the first was conducted by the esteemed and sorely missed Greg Pearson, and the other was conducted this summer by the highly respected chairwomen of the journalism department, Barbara Haddad Ryan. Being fascinated by ethics in general, I also attended Rick Doepke's philosophy ethics class, for good measure. Although this by no means makes me any kind of an expert of ethics, journalistic or otherwise, I have noticed one thing. Nobody, and I do mean nobody, can completely agree with anyone else on what is and is not ethical, when it involves journalism. I have listened to, participated in and racked my brain over the most damnable agruments - pro, con and everywhere in between - involving predicaments plucked from the everyday mundane to the once-in-alifetime bizarre. And believe me, concensus is the most elusive of illusions. Add to any ethical considerations the traditional criteria of what constitutes news: audience, impact, . proximity, timeliness, prominence, novelty and conflict. What results is a pandemonium of relativism - not a pretty sight. Having said all this, along comes Westword's Bryan

Abas with his story about CU football coach Bill McCartney, McCartney's daughter, Kristyn McCartney, her son Timothy, Sal Aunese, the questionable conduct of the CU football team, charges of racism in Boulder and on the CU campus, t~e issue and hubbub over drinking and date rape and date-rape seminars, prayer in schools, the American Civil Liberties Union - have I missed anything? And there are people who honestly think that all of this was not news? I'd like to know what part wasn't news. But, some say, "The article was so tasteless." And I say that frequently the truth is not tasteful, and the reporter's job is not to make everything appear tasteful. Tasteful is for fashion shows, truth is for newspapers. For those who want nothing but delicacy, perhaps they should stay away from the news altogether. I think it is more than interesting that the people who denounce Bryan Abas the loudest are also the ones who have read every word of his story. I think it is more than interesting that the people who have stood on his shoulders to print what never could have been printed without his story as their foundation have metaphorically kicked him in the teeth on the trip up. Because of Abas, Sal Aunese's death has taken on maudlin and mythic dimensions in the media, the likes of which we have not seen since the death of John F. Kennedy. But lately, people have been complaining that there are no more heroes. Maybe we just know too much about people these days to produce any bonafide

heroes. So we've taken to making heroes of victims. And Sal Aunese was a cancer victim, as many other people have been and will be. Perhaps some victims are heroes. Maybe they die in a heroic manner. But maybe some people have or feel more pain than others do. I don't know. I, for one, would hesitate to judge who is and who isn't heroic when they're dying. I'll leave that to those who are good at that sort of thing. But what I'd like for people to remember is that Bryan Abas wrote about Sal Aunese when Aunese was alive. His story was about a not-so-secret secret, and journalists don't have any business keeping those kinds of secrets, if they take their journalism seriously. They don't get paid to hear ev~ryth ing from their sources and tell their reading audiences nothing. Tasteless or not, I'm immensely glad that I got to read the story Bryan Abas wrote. And since I'm glad I read it, you'll not find me going "tsk-tsk, ain't he the awful bad boy of journalism." I think the man has guts. And that's what every reporter should have if they're going to consider themselves any kind of reporter at all. What kind of reporters do you want? Depending on your answer, that's probably the ki nd you'll get when all is said and done. But realize that these reporters also will be the kind you deserve.

'1 Freshman Year Program paves bumpy roads THE

• •·

METROPOLITAN

Monique Maldonado The Metropolitan

When Darlene Lopez, a business major, first came to MSC summer semester in 1989, she was faced with a problem many beginning or returning college students have - how to balance school along with job and family responsibilities. Lopez, 20, was working two jobs, going to school full time, and was solely responsible for the care of her infant daughter, now three. "Being a single parent carries its special stresses and responsibilities," Lopez said. ''The Freshman Year Program helped me in the transition between high school and college. And the instructors were sensitive to my needs. That made things go a lot smoother." So just what is the Freshman Year Program? Well, for more than 800 students in the past three years, it has meant the difference between struggling in unknown waters of a new environment and becoming successful members of the college community. Renee Ruderman, instructor and program developer, said that focusing on students' individual needs and conflicts is what makes the program so successful. "We in the Freshman Year Program work carefully with students to develop their self-confidence and to challenge them academically," she said. For George Comminello, 37, how subjects were taught in Freshman Year classes was as important as what was being taught.

"Some teachers use the cut-and-dry method of teaching," Comminello said. "But in

Freshman Year, the emphasis is on applying life knowledge toward your education." David Moore, program director, said that encouraging students to explore the larger college community is as crucial to their individual development as sitting in the classroom. "Students who bond to the institution whether in or outside the classroom - are more likely to remain in college than those who do not," Moore said. "The retention studies on freshman students at MSC and nationally clearly support this. Such efforts as the Freshman Year Program can contribute positively to the quality of the first-year experience of students." "In Freshman Year, students are assigned to go to the library, to visit the art gallery, and any other happenings on campus," said Lopez. "People think all they have time for is going to classes and to work. Here we learn that there is time for other aspects of our lives. This helps give my life some balance." Lopez said she is more aware and involved in other campus programs than she used to be. And she's learned more about her personal values and convictions through classroom discussions. "The interaction in class gets intense sometimes - especially when you're addressing a controversial topic, such as racism," Lopez said. "I found out that it's still very much a part of everyone's life." Learning to respect others' thoughts, interests and values is one very important way

most Freshman Year students say they've grown. Wayne Sundell, part-time instructor with Freshman Year, said the challenges of an urban college creates more stresses on students. "There's a difference between being a passive student and an active student," Sundell said. "At MSC, since it's an urban college, you have to be very active to find out what's happening. I think that's one way this program helps." George Comminello said that being part of Freshman Year has given him a sense of belonging at MSC. "I think sometimes students feel lost in the 'great aby~.' Respecting each other gives us unity. It gives us all an attitude which I think we've all learned to keep with everyone we come into contact with on a daily basis," Comminello said. Garrett Lilly, 22, found a new sense of self respect when he became involved with the program. "I was unfocused and tired of being a waiter," Lilly said. "My adviser, Tony Montoya, told me that 25 percent more of Freshman Year participants graduate than those who don't participate in the program. So I think that gave me some hope of succeeding." Lilly said some of the most valuable lessons he's learned are time management and what MSC has to offer besides classroom learning. "AHEC helped me look for an apartment, and I learned how to use the library as an occupational resource. One test I took in Freshman Year showed us how we learned - whether visually, manually or by hearing," Lilly said. I found out how I learn and have been able to apply what's best for me in all my classes.'' Lilly, a psychology major, advises other freshmen who have not decided on a major to participate in the program. "I think it's like a laser beam," Lilly said of the program. "If you contract the beam, focus it, and concentrate it, you can reach the most people in the most effective way." That beam reached Delon Radebaugh, 21, who had been struggling to find a college that "felt right.'' "I went to CU to look at the campus and hated it," Radebaugh said. "There were classrooms with hundreds of people. And the teachers didn't have a clue who I was.'' Radebaugh, who will be the first Freshman Year participant to graduate, says she initially had some negative preconceptions

about MSC, but that these soon proved to be unfounded. "I expected the teachers to say, •You guys are all screw ups and you'll do what we tell you to do.' In Freshman Year, I found 25 other students. I could see their faces. And people asked my opinion and listened to me. That gave me a whole different view of Metro.''

Renea Ruderman, Instructor and proanm devalapar. Radebaugh says high school didn't prepare her for what to expect in college, so her Freshman Year classes taught her the skills she needed to succeed at the college level. "My high school classes were blowoffs," she said. "I graduated with a 3.5 GPA but didn't have any skills. Here, I learned to write research papers, essays and how to use the library." Learning that it's okay to speak her mind is something Radebaugh says she'll always credit to the program. "In these classes, it doesn't matter if what you say sounds stupid, because you always learn something from the discussions," she said.

"I've learned not to be afraid of what people think of me. People don't just like you because of what you say, but because they learn who you are.'' Even after three years with Freshman Year, Radebaugh says the bottom line is still the same: "You aren't alone." 0

'1 Journalist shows 'new Americans'·

OdoWi. • •

Jodie Skinner Photo Editor

"I was reminded of the discrimination newcomers have, on my flight to Denver," photojournalist Ulli Steltzer said about her plane trip. A smoker, Stelt7.er had to sit in the back of the plane. She said it reminded her of when the blacks were forced to sit in the back of the bus. Discrimination is everywhere, she said. But she did not come to disc~ discrimination last Wednesday afternoon, although she made her audience aware of it. Stelt7.er was asked by MSC's Institute for Intercultural Studies and MSC Student Activities to ~ her intimate photographic journey into the lives. of immigrants and refugees in Southern California. An immigrant herself, Stelt7.er came to the United States from Germany in 1953. "It was easier for me to come," she said Stelt7.er's parents were already here; and she had a job and funds. And being from Germany, her skin color kept her from being discriminated against at first glance, she said The immigrants and refugees she photographed did not have an easy time entering the United States. Most did not know anyone or have the promise ofa job, and had limited resources. For three years Stelt7.er photographed immigrants and refugees in Southern California for her book, called the "New Americans." Her lecture consisted of a slide show in which she~ her travels. "I asked permission from everyone I photographed.'' Steltur said In most cases, she got involved with the families and spent

one or two days with them. Others she photographed in passing. One of the hardest things about doing this project, Stelt7.er said,· was interviewing the people, getting close to them and then leaving. In one case, a young boy she photographed seemed upset. He told her, "you got what you wanted and I got nothing.'' She told him he was right and bought him lunch. "I meet people everyday, get my story and then I have to leave. You only had to do this once, so quit your bitching," Steltur said to the boy. She then made a point of visiting bis family three more times and sending him bis photograph. It is important for the immigrants and refugees to keep their traditions, Steltzer said. But there are those who look forward - the children, and those who look back - the elders, she said. For new immigrants, the newness of this country creates many problems, Steltur said. Differences in societies make it very difficult for a person to become a member, she said "It depends on where you come from and who you are," she said In addition, the older immigrant and refugee families want to keep the customs from their own country. But their children, who have grown up in the United States, tend to follow our customs. This creates problems within the families, Steltur said, because the parents do not understand. Immigrants have a much easier time than refugees. Koreans especially find it easier to start a business, she said Most have money and a family member here, she said The Japanese who come as students stay

"We need to make a big step forward to American society, whatever it is," Steltur said. "We all have a lot more in common than we will admit."

Money, mayhem and marvelous times are three necessities to every red-blooded college student Campus recreation's Outdoor Adventure Program offers mayhem and marvelous times for very little money. The outdoor group was on the beach of South Padre Island gathered around their campfire last spring break. Three juvenile bandits riding three-wheeled steeds descended upon the vacationers. The outlaws began to corral the group. Wielding an oar for a shield. and hurtling grapefruit for ammunition, Prof~r Joe Morrell, of Metro's computer science management department, came to the rescue. Spraying sand and exhaust the bandits retreated. Katie Truesdale, a senior at MSC said everyone breathed a sigh of relief and the party continued. Truesdale said the memories of the many outdoor adventures she has been on are both numerous and priceless. One morning at South Padre Island, Truesdale rose early to go wind-sailing on the calm waters of the Gulf of Mexico. "A storm rolled in," Truesdale said, "in 60 seconds it was raining and the wind was blowing. The tents blew over, the canoes blew over, sailboards on the beach blew, and so did I." Truesdale stood screaming, "Save me! Save Me!" While standing in six inches of water about 30 yards out. Not even her friend and fellow participant in the outing, Michelle Rexasch, a UCO senior, came to her aid. Truesdale eventually made it back to shore on her own. "Everything was wet," Rexasch said. Some of the party slept in the bus, others slept in a nearby laundromat, still others found an apartment for the night. But this stormy experience did nothing to dampen the spirits of the vacationers. "The storm ended up making the trip a little more eventful," Truesdale said Both girls described the camaraderie in saving the camp and getting everybody together as aeating lasting friendships. This year's trip to South Padre Island is expected to cost students about $140 per

Dick Neti.el, profeswr of physics at MSC, has been on the Steamboat Springs ski trip three years in a row and plans on going again this year. "It is a good opportunity for students and faculty to interact on an informal basis, and it's a good deal financially," Netzel said. "We ski together, party together, have a good time. No matter what you do - eat cheese and crackers, drink coca-cola, go to the hot tub, or go out to eat - it's just a good experience all the way around." Neti.el said he takes a box of earplugs along with him on the trips for himself and his friends. "This way we can sleep at night" He said, they also come in handy for the rock concerts. The groups have attended a concert every year. The first band he saw was "Jack Mack and the Heart Attack," which he descnbed

person. Rexasch left the sun for the snow when she tried ice climbing, another of the programs offered by Outdoor Adventure. "The ice ax, that's what will save you from falling," Rexasch said. There is a technique involved in getting the ax lodged to stop a sliding or falling climber. At an outdoor adventure outing at St. Mary's Glacier, Rexasch said, "By the time I got the ax to stop me, it was almost too late. I

as "haz.ardous to your health." There will be more than 120 outdoor adventure trips this year. The trips are sponsored by campus recreation, a triinstitutional program funded through student fees. Anne McKelvey, associate director of campus recreation, who has attended many outings herself, said, "I think it's absolutely wonderful. We live in one of the most ideal mediwm for outdoor aaj recreational activity_,. and Tim Jorgense11: [outdoor club/sport coordinator] provides a medium for taking advantage of it." Jorgensen, described the outdoor adventure program as "with respect to all other universities, truly in the upper echelons of outdoor programs and general recreational services." A program like this, Jorgensen said, "is especially important on this campus because it's a commuter institution. I think the students want it" "There is always something different to 'do, seven days a week," Jorgensen said "That's a challenge I think would be hard for D others to meet."

He believes the role of his class is ''to attain, sharpen and sustain focus according to need." He thinks his personal role is to "get their [the students] attention, give them some facts and then get out of their way."

After that, he said, the student's sense of self-responsibility should take over. "We're having a test every second every student is in the clamoom," be said, meaning the audience is just as important as the speaker.

He also has devised a method that allows international students to speak a portion of their speeches in their native tongue, and this has fueled some big plans.

Needy get help with food Jeff Masias

The Metropolitan

With a bag of cans in one hand and a paper sack in the other, a bearded man with a ski cap asks the women across the gate for a sandwich. For at least 50 years volunteers at St Elizabeth's Church next to the Central Classroom have_given sandwiches to those in need. The- sandwich line runs Monday through Friday at 11 a.m. It's a way for the thirty-five volunteers to ·r help others. The food _giveaway usually lures 15 to 30 people every day. "My check isn't here yet. Can I get something to eat, please?" - is a familiar phrase, say the volunteers. The men, women and children go to the back of the church for the sandwiches, also receiving a pleasant smile, a little oompanionship and understanding along with the food. Carol Bankston, administrative assistant at St Elizabeth's said the church oould always use more food ''The people that go for the sandwiches aren't receiving enough. Two bologna sandwiches aren't enough. The people who oome here have a need A need to exist," she said. Bankston said it would be nice if the street people oould have their own soup kitchen. A place where they could work for food ·and for self-esteem. "The first day I gave out sandwiches I was scared. I didn't know what to expect," Bankston said. Even though a gate and a seven-foot .- cinderblock fence separated Bankston from

her "customers," she said her fright subsided when she realized they're like us - human beings. The people helping with the sandwiches know what it's like to need something. That's why they help out with preparing and giving the food. "A couple of times we didn't have enough sandwiches to give. We only give what we

have and it doesn't feel good to not give," she said. Food, donations, advice and a need to give is what St. Elizabeth's sandwich line is all about Bankston said the problem of the homel~ situation is one that needs to be alleviated. This is why the church and numerous other churches, organimtions and shelters try to help the l~ fortunate. · o PS/l•Model 70-E61 • • ·• • • • • • • • • •

JOHNNY HANDSOME

So, anyway, I am wide awake now, not only because of the wak~up call and the arctic conditions in my apartment, but also because I smell this horrible stench. Immediately I think to myself, "the dogs ... one of the dogs left a goody on the fioor." And I am right ... it did. I don't know which one because they both look equally guiltridden. Well, it is still not 7 a.m., yet. I have managed to yell at my mother, the dogs, catch pneumonia and clean up dog doo doo. At about 7:30 a.m., I notice that my · apartment still stinks. So immediately I think they must have done something som~ where else. So I go hunting. Hunting for dog poop is a degrading experience, but one I am all too familiar with. Well, I never find it, but I still smell that smell. You see, I have this 14-year-old half-dog, half-woolly mammoth that is deaf, dumb, blind and smelly right now. Yes, the smell is coming from him. Not only did he manage to use my kitchen as a potty, he managed to sit in it, so dangling from his tail hairs are the remnants. · I proceed to take the moron outside and with an old pair of scissors carefully trim his rear-end hai.rs. So there I am - out in my yard in the early morning hours giving my dog's butt a coiffure - while the other dog watches. Take a picture of that. Eventually I get back on track, the smell is gone, and I am ready to go up to the Washington Park Recreational Center to take my shower. Oh yeah, my shower is broken, so I always have that feeling that I am camping. It is great. Getting in my car I see this note under my

wmdshield wiper. Immediately I ~ume it's --~ from my mother in a last-ditch attempt to communicate with me, but I was wrong. It's a note referring to me as a certain bodily orifice telling me to park on my own G--n side of the street. I mean it's not like it is the Autoban or something, it is only probably • two car-widths wide. I get to the men's locker room only to find that every old man over the age of 102 happened to be in there takitig a shower. It was like some kind of swim club or something. Maybe it was a shower club. Allow me to share with you a little secret: once a man gets over the age of 60 or so, it just does not matter to him if he has clothes on or not. I mean these guys were having a Godforsaken tea party in there - naked and everything. Well, I am not into being naked especially with strange old people, so I went home without a shower. Onward and downward ... I am driving down Speer sporting one of those painful hairdos that sits high on your head, only to remember that I do not have any of my ... books. Yes, I have forgotten my backpack. You see I have not left the house once since 1982 without forgetting something. I always forget something, it is a given. I tum off Speer, heavy hairdo and all, and go back home. It never fails, my dog is lunging at the door as I approach, like he wants to kill me or something. I guess he just gets confused. But not as confused as the other one, you know the one with the trimmed rear end hair, because as usual he is barking and 111 Whining pg. 17 -.

Entering the political science department, · visitors will find his office on the left - the one with half a dozen jazz albums leaning · against a bookcase. Jazz and politics? To Norman Proviser, jazz is one of the cultural threads· · running through America. ·"Jazz music grew out of black tradition," Proviser said. The jazz tradition has been with Proviser since bis teen-age years in Boston when he thumbed his nose at rock 'n' roll and instead lied about bis age to get into back alley jazz haunts. He sometimes coerced friends to go with him. One of those friends was his high school sweetheart. She never became a jazz fan, but she did marry him. When the Provisers go to New York City, they spend the day together and go back to their hotel. She goes to bed and he goes out to listen to his beloved jazz. Going to clubs isn't all play for Proviser, be writes a monthly review column, "Outside In" for Jazziz, a slick magazine catering to jazz enthusiasts. Plus he usually writes an additional piece for each issue. Proviser wrote "Needle Work" for the July issue -it's about a New York City jazz club, "The Knitting Factory." Jazz isn't Proviser's only journalistic endeavor. He is, after all, a political science professor. While teaching at Louisiana State University in Shreveport, he wrote a political column for a local newspaper, and he teamed up with local television anchors for election night coverage of the 1988 general election. Proviser spent 14 years at LSU and decided it was time for a change. He knew very little about the West, but be saw Denver as an upbeat city.

Halfway to the Student Union, I realize that I have left my wallet in my car. [The car that is parked in Greeley.] Being that this is a given I calmly turn around and start trekking back. Once I finally get to class, 15 minutes late, I find that I have not done the reading, so once again I am lost. However, class was not boring because when I got up to leave, the sweater I had tied around my waist snagged on the chair, and as a result I dragged the desk behind me as I left the classroom. Then, as if that was not enough, I could not get the mother unsnagged. So there I was trying to maintain my composure, while the other class filed in, trying to unsnag the desk from my person.

Nom1n ProvlQr, MSC polllle1l acl1nc1 prafalor. Louisiana is known for jazz. But Denver?

"It's not a hot jazz town." he said, but be did take in the Dick Gibson Jazz Festival, and he has been to a few places that offer enjoyable music. Proviser enjoys talking about jazz and politics, and he hopes to pursue his journalistic interests here - if the opportunity comes along. He will see Colorado politics at work next semester when he heads up the legislative intern program as part of his job at MSC. Proviser's magazine connections allow him free admittance to most events. The record albums in his office are courtesy of musicians who want his stamp of approval. Proviser likes the downtown location of MSC, and he's found the books be needed in the library. But there are a couple of problems. He said that he's never had so much trouble finding a parking spot. "And I've never bad to pay for parking before," be said with a laugh. D

I grab my backpack and head out again. At these moments my dogs always look like the battered junkyard canines that you see on those animal rights commercials - like I am never going to return or something. Actually I realize that it is just a ploy, and they have full intentions of having one of their crapping parties as soon as I leave. I finally get to school, only to park somewhere between Mile High Stadium and Greeley for two bucks.

Charlie Brown or not, I still had to run back to Greeley, get in my car, race home, hunt for dog droppings, put on a tie and rush to work. I am a bartender at a restaurant downtown.

...

No "mojo" has meant no gojo for the downtrodden MSC men's soccer team. Worse yet, Coach Dennis Daly has run out of inspiration speeches to pull out of the bag. Losers of five in a row and a string of luck that would rival Rodney Dangerfield, Daly bas pinned the only ~ible answer to "no chemistry, no mojo and plain rotten luck." Even when outplaying the opponent [Cha~ man College] Metro is finding ways to lose [a 3-1 setback]. "At this point I don't know what to say. I guess Monday we'll practice," Daly said. "Right now I can't find any positives. I'm sure in a few days I'll find something, but right now I can't." Last Friday, MSC out-hustled, out-played and out-shot Chapman, but were also outscored. Chris Kalman scored at 40:22 of the first half to knot the score at 1-1 in the game; unfortunately for Metro it was all downhill from there. With Metro asserting pressure offensively, Chapman caught the MSC defense in confusion and loaded down the left side of the field. Jamie Wagner somehow got the ball in the midst of the Metro defense and drilled a short kick that goalie Tom Vermilye had no shot at, to put the visitors up 2-1. A short time later, after Chapman's Roger Skinner headed a ball from way out, Vermilye fell down and watched helplessly as the ball bounced over his head into the goal. "Tom bas had some difficult moments this year," Daly said "He bas a pretty thankless job, but he'll get the job done. It hurts because we were the better team today."

The loss puts the Roadrunners at 2-7 for the year. MSC will be on the road for three games before returning home Oct. 14 to face New Mexico. D

Winning isn't everything, but the MSC women's volleyball team seems to think so. The lady Roadrunners are 19-2 overall, and tied for first place with Air Force Academy in the Continental Divide Conference, with a 5-0 record. The winning began for the team last Friday and Saturday at the CMSU Converse Challenge at the Central No. Tournament. The 11th-ranked MSC women finished in third place in the bout, with ninthranked University of Nebraska at Omaha coming in second and eighth-ranked Central Mo. University placing first. "I was satisfied with third place, the teams that did beat us are ranked higher than us, so third place was fine with me," said head coach Joan Tamblin. The third place finish came when the team lost to Omaha in the semifinal match in the tournament, 16-14, 12-15, 9-15, 9-15. Once again, key players did their jobs in the tournament. Junior Becky Kofoed was named player of the week and made alltoumament. Senior setter Sue Gillette doesn't seem to be bothered by her injured knee and was also named all-tournament.

Football club crushes the Rocks Scott Moore

The Metropolitan .

Led by the heroics of running backs Mike Boatright and Scott McGrath, some key turnovers and a swarming defense, the MSC Club Football team trampled Red Rocks Co~unity College last Saturday, 42-3. Nursing a 12-3 halftime lead, Boatright took a handoff from quarterback Howard Carlisle and headed for the middle of the line. Breaking a tackle, Boatright cut left and found nothing but open field ahead as he scampered 69 yards for what was to be the beginning of a 22-point third quarter outburst. Metro then went into cruise control for the rest of the day. "I was expecting a much tougher game," head coach TJ . Cole said. "We were without a couple of our key players and they wanted us bad because we beat them a couple of weeks ago." Cole was speaking of a 28-0 shutout administered by the Roadrunners two games earlier at Red Rocks. Metro substituted freely in this game.

After Boatright's back-breaker, Carlisle punched over from the one yard line to put the Roadrunners up 26-3. The drive was set up when the MSC defense recovered a fumble at Red Rock's 35. The defense recovered two fumbles that led to touchdowns in the third quarter alone. Topping off the outburst, McGrath who is also the back-up quarterback-burst off tackle for an 18-yard score and a 34-3 lead. With a 23-yard run to conclude the scoring in the fourth, McGrath reached the 100-yard mark for the afternoon. Leading all MSC runners was Boatright, finishing with 153 yards to bring his season total to a team-high 589 yards for the 4-1 Roadrunners. ''Next to Eric Bieniemy [at CU], Mike Boatright is the best fullback in the state of Colorado," said Cole. "Given the pampering of big-time backs, he could go on and play anywhere," he added of the 6'2" and 235 pound bruiser from Arvada. On the year Metro bas won four straight after opening the season with a 24-16 loss to

Colorado College. They have not been tested since, whipping Colorado Christian University 32-6, St Paul Bible College [MN] 32-0 and Red Rocks twice. The defense gets credit for most of that, Cole said "We have an aggressive, confident defense and I feel we can beat anybody in the league," he said In Saturday's game the defense yielded a second-quarter field goal "and then came alive." Near the end of the first-half Dominique Iacovetta and Jim Conners roared in and sacked the quarterback all the way back to Red Rock's five yard line. On the next play, with the punter standing in his own end zone, Mike Quintana sneaked through and blocked the punt for a safety and a 12-3 lead. Previously, Metro went up 7-0 when Jim Castellano, who added 68 yards to the rushing attack, scored from one yard out The next game for the Roadrunners will be Homecoming tomorrow [Sal] at the Auraria Field vs. Arapahoe Community College. Kick-off will be at 1:30 p.m. o
