Construction maze causes accident Joni Zlgan The Metropolitan
Becky Kofoed celebrates MSC's win over Regis in Tuesday, Nov. 14 game. Although MSC won the game, a coin toss cost them the championship. Story page 11.
The construction on campus has irritated some students, but has proven dangerous to one CCD student. Don Mauck lost his footing on a sidewalk because be did , not feel a barrier with bis cane, and be could not see a one-inch d!_op off the edge because be is blind. Mauck fell between Emmanuel Gallery and the Student Union where the sidewalk meets路the dirt, said Carol Cabral, a public safety monitor. He injured nerves in bis elbow. A friend, Greg. Dugan was walking behind Mauck when it 路 路 happened. "I'd have been better off if I had broken it," Mauck said. The nerve damage affected the movement in bis fingers. He said he will have to go through physical therapy to regain bis strength. Since Mauck's fall on Sept 27, the barrier has been moved right next to the sidewalk. The posts and plastic fence were about two inches from the sidewalk when Mauck fell, so he did not hit them with bis cane until it was too late. "I wouldn't consider it dangerous for a sighted person," Cabral said. "I went to school with blind kids, so I can see where it would be hard for them," she said of the construction. Cabral's job is to notice potential dangers on campus and try to correct them. She said that she saw another blind student slip in the same spot where Mauck fell. The student started to walk into one of the new lampposts and stepped to bis right and slipped. He did not fall, and Cabral said a sighted student helped him through the area after he slipped. Mauck's fall forced him to take a medical drop from school. "I couldn't type," he said. Mauck was taking computer training for the handicapped. He now tutors other handicapped students on the talking software. He said he gets paid for some of bis time, "It's not much," be said, "there are a lot of hours that I volunteer." Mauck has hired a lawyer to try to get some compensation for the accident "We'retalkingaboutmylifehere,"hesaid, ''we'retalking about my future." Mauck has Medicare, but he said he does not expect it to cover many of bis expenses. CCD did roll back some of bis tuition. "Somebody's going to have to pay for it," Mauck said. Cabral said that the construction contractors were worried about Mauck's accident. "They didn't want to see anyone get hurt," she said. "I think it's a joke for a college that claims to be handicap accessible,." Mauck said of the construction. Cabral said there may be about two months ofconstruction left. She suggested that blind students stay close to sighted people, and that sighted students be aware of the difficulties blind students fac.e. "It's very bard for them because everything's changing," she said, "One day there's a light post that wasn't there before and they have it mem.oriz.ed." o

BRIEFS Metro's big Metro tops the list of state colleges in enrollment in 1989. The lead post is held with a 5.9 percent increase in enrollment over Fall of '88. Fall '89 enrollment was up at most of the state colleges with the exception of West em State. This increase marks a trend of steady growth for the system, which also includes Adams State and Mesa State, at a time when the pool of high school graduates is on the decline. Included in Metro's increase was a 9.8 percent jump in the number of minority students. Minorities now constitute 15.l percent of Metro's overall enrollments, compared with 14.5 percent last year. Metro is the largest baccalaureate-only institution in the nation.
Defense fellowships The Department of Defense is offering fellowships to students at or near the beginning of their graduate study in science or engineering. Applicants must receivl their baccalaureate degrees b fall 1990. Application deadli11e is January 17, 1990. For more information please contact the Financial Aid Office at 556-3043.

Waters were calmed last week when the MSC Student Senate dropped legislation calling for a CoPIRG audit. But i~ may just be the eye of the storm. Turbulence started when, at the Oct. 25 meeting, Sen. Kevin Miller asked CoPIRG boardmember Robyn Swartz for a budgetary breakdown of CoPIRG's finances. At the time, Swartz was unable to produce the information. Miller's concern arose when it became apparent that CoPIRG funds acquired from Metro stu-
focus redirected
dents were going off campus, pooled and redistributed. Miller, as a result, wanted to know bow much of the money was actually making it back to the campus. It was apparent that Miller's request was wen received by the majority of the senators attending the meeting. AsofNov. 8, the bill calling for the audit was dropped. Miller said he did not feel that an audit would reveal how much money was being spent on the campus by CoPIRG. According to Jon Goldin, CoPIRG organizer at MSC, Miller dropped the legislation because hesaidbebelievedthattheincome tax return Goldin supplied him
presented the information he had originally requested. However, Goldin added that Miller said he still had concerns. 1 "I was concern eel the legislation was somewhat attackful," Miller said, "I dropped the bill so I could focus my energies to get CoPIRG off the campus." Miller plans on introducing legislation in April of 1990 that would put CoPIRG's controversial negative check-off system of funding up for a vote of the students. CoPIRG has collected a $3 fee at registration from students enrolled at Metro who have not chosen to waive the fee. That negative ch eek-offsystem offunding was not to be voted on by the students until April of 1991.
Sen. Scott Gassman presented, in a recent poll, the following Question: Do you support the negative check-offsystemaJMSC?ThaLis, outside organizations that are allowed to automatically bill your tuitionbalancefortheirownmeans unless you personally deny their right to access your account. Gas.wan said that approximately 75 percent of the people he has polled would not support it. Gassman has just initiated the po11 and has, prior to deadline, interviewed fewer than 100 people. Goldin said that he is aware of the controversy that surrounded them ethod of funding but was not aware that there are senators that wanttoseeCoPIRGdissolved. o
Controversial oath taken Mary Anderson The ~etropolitan
The Student Senate members rose to their feet, raised their right hands, and took the oath of office Wednesday Nov. 8. "I do solemnly swear or affirm to uphold the Constitution of ASMSC, do confirm my commitment to the varied racial, cultural and social diversity of Metropolitan State College ..." the Senators and executives repeated in unison after Chief Justice C. Mason Golden. The Student Senate voted 19-0 to have an oath Oct. 11, after
controversy over a subcommittee's dismissal of impeachment proceedings against Sen. Joel Kleg. The subcommittee decided that while Kleg did make racist comments, he was protected by his FirstAmendmentrightsoffreedom of speech. "As it's written now, I don't see any conflict with freedom of speech in this oath. I just think the Senate should have taken more time with the oath to improve the wording of it," said Sen. Mike Jones, the only senator who abstained. The Senate voted on the oath
without correcting the wo".'ding after its author Sen. Jim Capps said there was no need to wait. "Six weeks ago, we made a promise ·to the students of this college. Now, are we going to act or not?" he asked. Several senators expressed reservations about the oath while pointing out its good intentions. Sen. Gerri Madrid said that the oath was unenforcable, but that it could help senators remember their responsibilities. "It's vague and weak. It shouldn't have been passed until it was
clarified," said Sen. Michael Green. "I thought it was passed without much forethought and planning," said Sen. Kevin Miller. "I hope the oath would be another reminder to be careful what you say, because when you put down people you are putting down a portion of that population you have been elected to represent," said Sen. A. Scott Gassman. Three newly elected senators will take the oath at the next Senate meeting, said President Kelly Martin. o
Faculty on road to Shanghai Betty Lewis The Metropolitan
Metropolitan State College signed a formal faculty exchange agreement with the Shanghai University of Finance and Economics on Nov. 13. The signing of the agreement by Thomas Brewer, MSC president and JinBinghua, president of SUFE was a formal recognition of the exchanges that have been going on since 1987. Last spring, Metro professors, .., Rob.ertLucas, management chairman, and Richard Pasternak, professor of economics, went to Shanghai as visiting scholars. Currently Erick Erickson, professor of economics is teaching at SUFE and Professor Xie Shu-Sen is teaching international finance this semester at Metro as a visiting professor from SUFE. A four-member delegation from SUFE visited Metro for the signing oftheagreementduringtheirtour
of the United States. During spring of 1990 a delegation of Metro faculty will go to Shanghai. "We hope to expiµid this program in the future to include students,"Brewer said. "We want students and faculty alike to have the opportunity to learn about other cultures and study at a Chinese university." "Metro is the first American college they (SUFE) have signed an agreement with," said Claire F. Sullivan, dean of Business School. "They have agreements in Holland and Canada, but Metro is the first in this country." Sullivan said the faculty exchange program is beneficial to the college because of the intercultural elements visiting professors bring back to the classroom. ''You send 10 students over (to China) and lOreturn with exposure to the culture," Sullivan said. 'But you send one professor and many students get exposed to the culture."
MSC President Thomas Brewer and Jin Binghua president of SLIFE signing the agreement.
In addition, Sullivan said most business ·students will deal with other countries during their careers. The more they learn about other cultures, she said, the more successful they will be. Pasternak said his experience as a visiting professor to Shanghai openedhis eyesaboutthePeoples Republic of China and the internationalization perspective of all education. "Programs like this one awaken faculty to internationalization and
away from parochialism," £,sternak said.. Some faculty members, he said, view Metro as a college that serves downtown Denver. However, with the number of students who will move away, he said, the college must ex~e them to other cultures so they are more adaptable. "ff Metro didn't take advantage of programs like this, we would be out of the mainstream," Pasternak said. 0

Campus thefts attributed to students' negligence April Washington The Metropolitan
Most crimes on the Auraria Campus can be attributed to student carelessness, according to an Auraria public safety officer. Sgt. Elmer Daugherty, of the Auraria Public Safety Department, said that most reported crimes on the campus are thefts of personal property. "For the most part, thefts of student's personal property is nothing more than pure carelessness on their parts," Daugherty said. Student's apathetic attitudes toward their surroundings, and many times, their lack of common sense leave them vulnerable to criminal mischief, Daugherty said. He added that after students attend classes on the campus for many years, they start to develop a sense of security within the campus environment.
Daugherty said that most of the crimes reported take place during the day when the campus is most populated. He added that students need to take necessary precautions to protect themselves then as well as at night.
Daugherty said although the campus sits in the middle of that neighborhood, it is considered separate. He added that even though a number of crime-related incidents are not reported, the campus has a lower crime rate than the neighborhood crime rate and that of other Colorado college campuses with high enrollment.
The Metropolitan also reported that at the University of Colorado in Boulder total reported crimes were 968 in 1988. Out of the 22,599 students enrolled, 4.3 out of 100 are victims of crime. In addition, The Metropolitan reported that ~t Colorado State University in Fort Collins total reported crimes were 748 in 1988. Out of the 4,053 students enrolled, 18 out of 199 victims of crime.
Daugherty said students tend to leave their cars unlocked in the parking lots with their personal belongings left out in plain view. Also students have a tendency to walk off and leave their purses and backpacks unattended in the Auraria Library and the classrooms he said. Janet Smith, an English major attending Metropolitan State College, said that she attends classes from 2 to 8 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and that most of the time her attitude toward crime activity on campus is a relaxed one, except at night when she is car alone, she said.

On April 28, 1989, The Denver Post reported that within the Auraria Park neighborhood, located between Speer Boulevard, 1-25 and West Sixth Avenue, three out of ten people are victims of crime, according to the Denver police department
The May 5, 19891 issue of The Metropolitan reported that Metropolitan State College's total reported crimes were 369 in 1988. Out of the 15,599 students enrolled, 2.4 out of every 100 are victims of crimerelated incidents.
Sgt. Elmer Daugherty
November 17, 1989
Daugherty said that no new data would be released until after Jan. l, because the numbers of crimes reported tend to fluctuate during the year. He added that most of the crimes reported on the Auraria Campus are committed by nonstudents. However, they do not rule out students because of the number of thefts that are reported within the library and the classrooms. Although most of the crimes reported are minor, the likelihood of more severe crimes taking place on campus possible because of the campus' loeation, said Daugherty. He added that the safety officers constantly patrol the campus parking lots and grounds in efforts to keep the campus crime rate low and under control. o
Don't write center off yet Linda Padilla The Metropolitan
The Metropolitan State College Writing Center quietly closed last summer. It was the victim of concern that it could be tagged as remedial in violation of a Colorado Commission on Higher Education directive. That rule states Community College of Denver is the only Auraria institution authorized to offer remedial coursework Charles Allbee, chairman of the English department, said. The Writing Center was offered by the English department as a collection of three modules. Students could register for one hour of credit in each module. Allbee said the course activities were "modified tutorial, typically one to one ·with students." Students were also referred to the Writing Center by faculty members. Those student's needs were evaluated by the staff and they were either referred for shorter term tutoring or recommended to register for the modules, Allbee said. The questions regarding the nature of the instruction provided by the Writing Center arose when the CCHE set forth a definition of remedial. The definition referred to remedial work as anything that is a prerequisite to or preparatory to the lowest-level course in the core curriculum, Allbee said. In aswciation with the question of remedial coursework, Allbee said, MSC department chairpersons were instructed to review courses offered in the schedule and make recommendations about any considered remedies. However, he added, the decision not to offer the Writing Center
modules was ultimately an administrative decision. Allbee said that the Writing Center modules were in the 1989 summer course schedule, but were made unavailable so that if students tried to register for them they ,,. could not. When he prepared the 1989 fall course schedule, he put the Writing Center modules in the schedule and left it to those outside the department to decide whether they would be left in or not. They were, but then the decision was made to make them • unavailable again, he said. The Writing Center modules do not appear in the 1990 spring schedule. Allbee said that Writing Center was never meant to be remedial, but it was considered questionable.
If the English department were to allow students to register and accept tuition for the Writing Center modules and the CCHE determined that the modules were remedial, MSC would be forced to pay the students back, according to Larry Langton, associate professor of English. He added that the MSC administration could not risk that kind of financial penalty. However, a proposal for a new Writing Center was submitted on Oct. 31 to Larry Johnson, dean of the school of letters, arts, • and sciences, Allbee said. He added that he does not know when a decision will be made on the proposal and that it is very likely that the English department will need to provide additional information before that can happen. The exact nature of the new writing center has not been determined yet, he said. o

MSC grad 'Sonny' side up Gayle Neyman The Metropolitan
'7/ you're going to walk on thin ice you may as well dance." Sonny Wasinger, 1989 Those are words to live by, and Sonny Wasinger, a 1981 MSC graduate, does. "My goal as a writer is the Pulitzer Priz.e for drama," Wasinger said with his quick laugh. "If you're going to set a goal - set the highest one." Wasinger, who started at MSC after a stint in the Navy, which included a year in "the GulfofTonkin Yacht Club" in Vietnam, doesn't believe in aiming low. But he does believe in making the sacrifices needed to do what he wants. "I pay for it because I'm broke half the time," he said, motioning around his immaculate, but tiny, Capitol Hill basement apartment. "I don't particularly like this place, but it's cheap." Wasinger doesn't mind the sacrifice. "In the arts you can go from poverty to millionaire overrugbt,... he sai.d. Wasinger, "a Denver boy" and the oldest in a family of nine children, grew up near Third and Lowell.

"I've been involved in music all my life. I played in rock bands and sang," he said. "I decided I wanted to get serious about music, so I started a music degree - I couldn't even read music when I started at Metro." Chain-smoking cigarettes and drinking cup after cup of strong black coffee in his Bronco orange kitchen (He's a big fan, but he claims the kitchen wasn't intentional.), he discussed his great loves: music that ranges all the way from opera to rock; acting, which the opera led him to; and playwrighting. His recent one-act play "Another Park Bench Play" was nominated the best new play of the year by the Denver Drama Critics Circle. "I do playwrighting as a thing on the side. I like all the creative parameters of theatre," he said. "Acting's my favorite, but I really like directing and writing." Wasinger has several things on the side.
Along with acting, singing, directing and playwrighting, he is the owner of "The Game's Afoot," a Denver business that involves audiences in live murder mystery performances. Last year Wasinger was nominated for best performance by an actor in a leading role by the Denver Drama Critics Circle for his performance as Harold Ryan in "Happy Birthday, Wanda June." "It was a good role with a lot oflayers," he said. "If I'm going to do a role I want to put my heart and soul into it. And I want it to be a real challenging role, because I can only keep growing as an actor with challenges." He has performed as the lead in musicals ranging from blues in "Blues at Sunrise," to country music in ''The Magnolia Club," to Don Quixote in "Man of La Mancha." This guy's versatile.

~y· Sonny Wasinger, 1989.
Wasinger likes to keep his life moving in new directions, and he was no different as a Metro student. In his senior year he ran for s~udent body president- an unusual ambition for a music and theatre major - and he won. ··"I was the-first arts student in the'11istory of Metro to become student body president," he said. "We made a lot of changes." Leaning forward in his chair, Wasinger talks about how much he admires the actors Jack Nicholson and James Woods for their intensity- but as far as intensity goes those two have nothing on Wasinger. While he was in college he hurt his back and had to have surgery. "I got them to release me from the hospital early so I could go stand in line and register," he remembers. "I could barely walk, but I registered." He said the medical problem made him work even harder, because he realized what could happen and how much he liked being in school. He also believes intensely in striving for improvement. "There's always room for ·improvement - there are those people who are satisfied," he said with emotion. "They are the ones who will drag you down." His advise for MSC students pursuing a degree in the arts is also pretty intense. ''Be serious about it," he said, and, eyes twinkling, strikes a stage-actor pose for his next bit of advice. "Just as I believe you should be serious about your studies I believe you should be serious about your partying. Be serious about everything. "The meaning of life is that it ends," he said, somber once again. "What we do in this life is all geared toward death. Is it better to sit back and say 'Oh, I'm going to die, so what the hell,' and just rot away, or go for the gusto while you're here?" There's not much chance that this Metro alum will just rot away. And as long as he doesn't break through thin ice, it's certain Denver will be seeing a lot of him. o

'Little Mermaid' supplies good time for all
Sebastian, a tiny crab with a huge ego, is her reluctant mentor. Sebastian has a sort of Jamaican-Irish accent (patois/brogue?), but it works well with his musical numbers. Two of the seven main songs in ''The Little Mermaid" are performed by Sebastian. In his first, the Caribbean-flavored "Under the Sea," he is backed up by a hot crustacean band and a chorus line of marine life, includin the "Duke of Sole."

With apologies to Hans Christian Andersen, who is surely spinning in his grave over the liberties taken with his fairy tale "The Little Mermaid," Walt Disney Pictures has created another cl~ic. The co-writers and directors, Ron Clements and John Musker, have collaborated on a traditional and vintage Disney feature film, in which all the elements animation, special effects and music definitely click. Ariel, the little mermaid, is a typical headstrong teenager who wants nothing more than legs so she can walk among the humans on the topside world. In Andersen's original tale she wanted a human soul. But priorities change. Ariel's cast of supporting characters includes best friend Flounder, who is, well ... a flounder. And Ariel is fed plenty of funny misinformation about the human world by Scuttle (voice by Buddy Hackett), a slightly dingy seagull.

The sea princess Ariel enters into a bad deal with the evil Ursula. Ursula, the seawitch, has had her role expanded far beyond anything Andersen intended. She portrays evil incarnate - as an octopus. She delivers the song "Poor Souls" in a raunchy. cabaret style, flaunting her ample octopus body flirtatiously. King Triton is a typically overbearing father, but this guy has the power to destroy things when he gets his temper up. And Ariel has a tendency to cause him to do so frequently. Prince Eric is a gorgeous hunk of young princely flesh, whom Ariel saves and, of course, falls in love with. All in vain until evil old Ursula, with the help of her slimy eel ~istants, Flotsam and Jetsam, coerces Ariel into signing a contract for a really bad deal. 111 Merm1ld pg. 10

· 'Mermaid' collaborators hope to hook public the relationship between Ariel and her father," Clements said. "They care about each other, but they don't communicate very well." The collaborators also said that they tried to make Ariel a more active heroine than, say, Snow White or Cinderella.

In their plush Westin Hotel suite, collaborators Ron Clements and John Musker joke that they've been having pillow fights with the cushions on the wraparound couch. The pillows and the Disney Pictures writing-directing team are all a little rumpled after a day spent fielding questions from the Denver media. But they have ample reason to feel jubilant about their soon-to-be released animated film, ''The Little Mermaid." It's clear that these two smell a hit. Their film opens Friday, Nov. 17, and they are making the obligatory pre-release press tour. "I first came across the story about four years ago," Clements said. "Just reading it, I got excited by all the cinematic possibilities." However, he said, he felt the original Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale was too sad. "It doesn'tjust end sad- it starts out sad and gets sadder and sadder and sadder as it goes along," Clements said. "And then she dies." For Disney Pictures' purposes, the two explain, it was necessary to edit and rewrite the tale so that it could have the "good against evil thing" to make it work for Disney, oomplete with the trademark Disney happy ending. "Also, we wanted to push the as of
"We wanted her to initiate the story," Musker said, "to take actions to drive her somewhere." The prince plays a more passive role, according to Clements. "That was a difficult thing to try to deal with," Clements said, "to make him likable and not seem like a wimp." They are hoping against a strong feminist backlash, they said, because they tried to deal with the feminist issues sensitively within the confines of producing a fairly traditional Disney fairy tale film. "I do think the fi1in would have been done a lot differently 30 or 40 years ago," Clements said. "I hope they (feminists) like it," Musker concluded." I hopethey11 laughat a few of the jokes." The film has been extensively tested with various audiences across the country, and the pair say, the highest ratings have been from women. And, of oourse, kids like it too.

Stranger Than Fiction By Chad Morris While William F. Buckley may have accurately summed up the emotions surrounding the opening of the Berlin Wall in his Sunday column, there are few other points worth discussing. For instance, what are the half-million or so new immigrants to Western Europe going to do now that they're in the Free Capital ist West? Simple, they'll become Free Western Capitalists. But what do they have that we don't? Why would we give them our money? Because they have lots of stuff that says "Machen im Deutsche Demokratische Republik " - that's "Made in the German Democratic Republic (East Germany) " to you non-German-speaking folks. People, especially in the United States. love the new, the different, the strange and absolutely anything that has a foreign name and actually came from a foreign country. Hey, the Sharper Image can make a killing on Soviet Army paratrooper watches, right? Well, that whole Soviet/Gorby the Great/perestroika thing is old news. But, now the Berlin Wall comes a tumblin' down and that's hot, hot, hot. So if the East Germans really want to become real live capitalists (just like that Blake Carrington on the underground TV), they need to stop ogling new West German Mercedes and Calvin Kleins and start exporting Trabants (that's a car) and maybe bits of cement, plaster, barbed wire and clothing that really, truly was part of the Berlin Wall . Sort of like the stuff you can buy at Graceland. They'll need to act fast , of course, since it's only a matter of time before East and West Germany become a single country. When that happens the craze will be over and people will be looking for Hungarian Army fatigues or genuine Daniel Ortega moustache-trimming kits. They need to act fast too, because if they don 't someone else will. This is, after all, the Land of Marketing. The kind of place where Batman is more popular than the president (though with good reason, I'm sure) thanks to a really serious and impressive marketing campaign . The East Germans need to learn the Batman Lesson and get out there and sell an always eager and naive West absolutely anything they can think of. Step right up and get your Iron Curtain Whole Grain Oat Bran Bread. Or maybe Egon Krenzbrau, the fullbodied politically correct beer brewed behind the Iron Curtain. And dive right into that bowl of Bits o' Wall , the delicious breakfast cereal that's a part of this complete breakfast. Of course, Western Europe is probably more than a little worried about this sudden influx of a new labor force into West Germany. And they should be. Wh en the new economic com monwealth starts up in a couple of years - West Germany is going to be the industrial backbone of the whole set-up. A reunited Germany could really kick ass, and the commonwealth might be dealing with a different kind of defection. Even with the bloody track record a united Germany has - all three recent instances resulted in some of the most destructive wars ever waged - it seems more likely that any plans they might have for world domination will come in a more consumer-friendly package. If Dan Quayle isn't worried about it, as he said recently, then I guess we're OK. But in the meantime, I've got to run out to pick up my nephew some just-arrived-from-behind-the-Iron-Curtain Berlin Wall building blocks. Political correctness begins in the home.
LETTERS Chase humanity, not rabbits Editor, I consider myself a tolerant individual but every now and then I see something that strikes a raw nerve inside and I feel compelled to respond . The subject of this letter is the People column in the Oct. 20 issue of The Metropolitan. The article begins, "The most fun I've had flying a helicopter is when I was chasing jack rabbits five feet off the ground in Alamosa." It continues, "I wouldn't run the rabbits to death, but they would run so fast. I had a blast." No, this is not Rambo speaking, it is a degreeseek ing college student. It makes one wonder what sort of t hings we are learning in college these days. It is also an apt demonstration of the callous attitude some people have toward other forms of life. This is reminiscent of a "game" practiced in the deserts where people run down rabbits with motocross motorcycles. The culmination of the thrill is in seeing the rabbit's heart actually explode from the chest cavity. As we ready ourselves for the 1990s we are faced with numerous environmental concerns that all have devastating consequences. We no longer have to smoke cigarettes to get lung cancer. We merely have to breathe the polluted air. We are destroying rain forests, nature's climate control center, at a breakneck pace.
We are exterminating species of both plants and animals at a rate that has no precedence in human history. We are stockpiling hazardous wastes to a degree that makes nuclear arsenals look insignificant. In short, we are creating an ecological timebomb. The situation we find ourselves in all stems from an attitude of total disregard for the Earth and lifeforms that inhabit it [humans excepted , of course). We are still very immature in our evolutionary progress. We have made incredible strides in science and technology and yet we still do not understand the symbiotic relationship of all of the diverse manifestations of life. We have always assumed that man is at the top of the pyramid and other animals are subject to our judgments. This is totally inconsistent with what we have learned. Dolphins actually have a larger brain than we do. Whales may have a global communication network. Jackrabbits -who knows? The point is, we have no right to prejudge any other lifeform without the adequate knowledge of the biosphere necessary for such judgments. Until we do indeed know everything, let us treat other lifeforms with the same degree of respect accorded to our fellow humans. - John Judlsh

CoPIRGfee unconstitutional Editor, Last week, The Metropolitan featured a story exposing CoPIRG and legislatfon currently in front of The Metropolitan State College Student Government. Since the release of that edition I have retracted that legislation which would have called for an audit of CoPIRG . As CoPIRG believes, my actions do not endorse CoPIRG's expenditures of the students' $3 fee. Contractually, CoPIRG is free to spend moneys received from MSC students in any fashion they see appropriate. Metropolitan State College students are charged $3 every semester unless they waive the fee. Known as the negative checkoff, most students are unaware of its purpose and when they do it's not worth their time to waive it. They fail to realize that their $3 will net CoPIRG more than $35,000 this semester alone. Until a student waives the fee, he/ she is a supporting member of CoPIRG. Is this not a violation of a citizen's
Editor News Editor Features Editor Copy Editor Assistant Copy Editor Sports Ed ltor Reporters
freedom of association? Are the students no longer free to choose what organizations they wish to support or not to support without haVing to take steps to avoid someone making that choice for them? I have yet to hear from a student that believes the negative checkoff is fair. CoPIRG holds a three-year contract with Metropolitan State College. In April 1991, CoPIRG's negative checkoff will be on the ballot for approval by students. This is far too long to wait as CoPIRG could net as much as $100,000 by then. Therefore, when the Senate reconvenes for the spring semester, I will introduce legislation to put this decision to the students in April of 1990.-All too often we seethe minority victorious when the majority has been politically and socially neglectful. Get informed, waive the · fee and stop this bashing of your naturally born constitutional rights.

CoPIRG: Voluntarily funded to serve students Editor, When students founded The Colorado Public Interest Research Group (CoPIRG) in 1973, they were acting on their belief that higher education should include ,_ meaningful opportunities for students to cultivate skills and values of active citizenship. CoPIRG was envisioned as a campus-based institution through which students could learn about and promote solutions to social problems. This year at Metro, students are involved in projects on campus such as hunger and homelessness, recycling, Earth Day, toxics and consumer rights. On the state and national level we are involved in environmental consumer rights and action. Whether they are setting up a program for volunteering at local shelters, putting out a guide for consumers about toxics in the
home, push ing for campus-wide recycling or passing legislation that protects the environment and public health; students are having an unbelievable impact! The students carry out their goals by assessing themselves a fee on campus. Here at Metro, students set up a $3 per semester fee through a referendum vote. To protect the rights of those individuals who do not support these goals, the fee is waivable. These funds are then put to work by the CoPIRG Board of Directors which is made up of students from campuses with CoPI RG chapters. The number of representatives from each campus is based on the amount of money that campus collects. These students then decide how to allocate the funds to best accomplish the goals of their organization through campus, statewide and national projects.
Recently , the Metro Student Senate requested information concern ing CoPIRG's budget. A resolution was written that asked for a financial audit. A packet was given to all senators including information from an 87-88 audit prepared by an independent certified public accountant. To best meet the needs of the senators, a draft copy from the most recent financial year was also included. After receiving this information, the sponsor dropped his resolution. Through the resources students provide, CoPIRG is able to work on and off campus to effectively promote active and responsible citizenship across the state. We look forward to a productive year of working to shape public pol icy in Colorado.

"There are certain things that get huge reactions from kids, that, when you see it with just adults, don't get that much reaction," Clements said. "Vice versa, some of the more sophisticated things just go over kids' heads." The character that seems to be winning the most hearts thus far, both adult and child, is the crab Sebastian, the team said.

But, according to Head Coa<;h Joan Tamblin, the only thing the coin flip meant, was that Regis automatically qualifies for the playoffs, and both teams are cochampions of the CDC. Since MSC won Tuesday night's game, the team is also going to the playoffs because of at-large berths in the conference. ''The only thing that means is they get automatic qualifier for the playoffs, but because we won we are going to. We'll beat them again," Tamblin said. see Splkara pg. 12

CDC. Regis remained undefeated up until Tuesday night Now back to Nov. 14. MSC was 10-1 in CDC and Regis was 11-0. If Regis had won the match on Tuesday night, Regis would have been sole champions of the CDC.But, because MSC won, and both teams had l l-1 records, tiebreaker was needed. The second tie-breaking method was also a tie. Confused yet:! Well, according to J.R. Smith, coordinator of athletics at MSC, because ofMSC's loss on Oct. 10, the only way for the Roadrunners top win the championship was to sweep Regis in three straight games. Or, beat Regis in four games and make up the nine-point difference from the last match (Oct. 10). Unfortunately, that was also a tie. Remember because MSC didn't sweep Regis in three straight games, the point difference and NCAA rules, the flip of a coin is what determines who is the champion.

Now, back to Tuesday night's match that we really did win. According to Tamblin, in the first game MSC was really nervous and tense (no, it wasn't because of the never-ending ties) and that cost MSC the first game of the match. "We were nervous in the first game, we always get so nervous before the start of a match, but once we loosened up, we were great," Tamblin said. And loosen up is what the Roadrunner did. According to Tamblin the game-plan was to avoid hitting and !>erving to Regis's senior setter Julie Jaszai and Corrine Donnelly. In the first game all that MSC did was hit it to those two players. But, in the following matches, MSC stuck to the game plan and came out victorious. "We didn't do that in the first game of the match, we were nervous and uptight, but in the next three games our gameplan worked and we came out the winners," Tamblin said. Mistakes are what also cost Regis the match. Once MSC's strategy began to work, Regis fell apart. "I can't believe the number of mistakes Regis had. I was surprised that they had that many for a nationally ranked team," Tamblin added. Tamblin said that the key to MSC's victory was the blocking. The team shutdown Regis a number of times and that really made the difference in MSC's victory. Tamblin isn't upset at the turn of events on Tuesday night. "We're in the playoffs and so is Regis, I know we can beat them again and we will." But now the question is where the playoffs will be held. Tamblin said that
;..
MSC had put in a good bid to be able to host the playoffs. Part of MSC's bid depended on the attendance of Tuesday night's game. More than 600 people at-· tended the match and that, said Tamblin, is a good sign that MSC can get alot of fans in. Also, because MSC won Tuesday night, that will help MSC get the bid to host the playoffs, which begin Dec. 1. The winner of the playoffs will go on to the national playoffs on Dec. 8 and 9. At least that championship won't be • decided on a coin flip, or will it? D

Women's basketball
Guthals looks to rebound Scott Moore The Metropolitan
You'll have to excuse Cindy Guthals for being excited about the upcoming basketball season, but for a team that's coming off a 1-27 record it's hard not to be optimistic. In all fairness though, "it's also the first team that's entirely mine." The fifth-year MSC women's basketball coach has welcomed eight new players with open arms and envisions a solid season for the first time in five years. "Since the kids are so new this year they don't really know abut the past," Guthals said of a 20-87 mark since 1985. "They don't know what it's like, but they see what we have now and they haven't said anything." For the first time there is also depth, Guthals said. And heading that list will be .,.._ the Roadrunners' three returning starters seniors Paula Mohney and Verna Julaton and sophomore Gretchen Mayo. Mohney, a 5-foot 9-inch forward, is the leading scorer among the returnees with a 11.9 average. Mayo, a 6-foot 1-inch center, chipped in 10.6 to go along with 8.3 rebounds per "1'
game.
H Metro's success is finally to erupt this year it will hinge on it's fountain of youth (eight newcomers). Stephanie Robinson has been the biggest surprise thus far, Guthals said. The 5-foot 7-inch guard from Montbello haSshoWn.- exceptional athletic ability and is the best leaper on the team.
x
"I can't wait to see how she does this year," Guthals said. "She has so much
potential; once she gets the fundamentals down she is going to be a great player." Among Guthals other problems this year - albeit good ones - is height; she has plenty of it Jennifer Andrews, a 6-foot 2inch freshman from Kent Denver Country Day School will join Holly Roberts, a 6footer from Green Mountain High School, and Noelle Braunschweiger, a 6-foot 1-inch player from Pueblo East High School. All have been impressive and will make this squad very balanced, Guthals said. "There hasn't been one player that has stood out above the others. I don't think we'll have to rely on one single player because we're so balanced," Guthals said. "But we'll have to come up with a nickname for Noelle (Braunschweiger], she has looked good and I'll need to be able to call her something."
"When I came in I was not only faced with rebuilding, but starting a program over. We're finally to a point where we can compete. This team is the first team that is entirely mine." Much of the credit Guthals attnbutes to her assistant Pam DeCosta, who "was a driving force in recruiting all these kids." They are both in a position now that neither one of them would give up, Guthals said. The team will find out how far they've come next Saturday when they travel to play the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs. The Roadrunners first home appearance will be Monday, Nov. 20, against Eastern New Mexico. o
"This team is going to be very tough. However you want to define it. It will be a solid year."

Two other newcomers- Roxanne Llabres an~ Michelle Thomas - should see considerable action. Both are good ball-handlers and shooters, Guthals said. Andrea Woessner, who Guthals calls the best defensive player on the team, and Jennifer Clark round out the roster. - 'This team is ..going to_be_very tough," . Guthals said. "However you want to define it, it will be a solid year. For the first time we'll be 12 deep and that's a nice problem to have.
