'Post' article raises MSC hackles Mary Anderson News Editor

What parking problem? Despite the cold weather, 1tudente continue to ride their bikes to school. By the looks of It, cycll1te may find parking to be as much of a problem a1 motorl1t1.

An article concerning the MSC administration's alleged insensitivity to minorities has left some administrators feeling snubbed. While the negative reaction to The Denver Post article is not shared by everyone at Metro, a common complaint has been that·it is 9ne-sided and not an accurate portrayal of the school. The article "Students at Metro feel barbs of racism" was written by Gabrielle Johnston, a Metro student and former Poot intern. It appeared in the Jan. 15 issue. Metro President Thomas Brewer said, "I thought it was an article that did not properly credit the college with the efforts it has taken ... Nowhere was it mentioned about all the other things the college does do. ''Sure. we have problems and we're workin~ on them ... the article was grossly unfair to the faculty and staff of Metropolitan State College," Brewer said. "I think the story brought to light a very serious problem. The administration has chosen to stick their heads in the sand about (it) for years," Johnston said. Brewer said many programs, activities, committees and workshops exist in the college to improve minority enrollment and retention. Brewer said that Metro has had a 9.8 percent increase in black enrollment due to special targeting. Vice President for Student Affairs, Antonio Esquibe~ said that, over·the past I 0 years, Metro's minority enrollment has gone up, while that of other colleges in the state have gone down. "(The article) is damaging to our reputation and the college has been working toward being attractive to minorities," said Esqwbel. "It's not an accurate portrayal. It might have actually done some damage ... as far as students reading the paper and saying, 'I don't want to go there if that's the way they treat (minorities).'" "The administration is mad because a very serious problem just got published in a major metropolitan newspaper. It's not good for their enrollment. This was not a (public relatiom) piece for the college," Johnston said. "She could have presented a more balanced story," said Esquibel. ''The incidents did happen, but it's not the whole story." Johnston's article listed several accounts of minorities' unsuccessful efforts in filing complaints. Among the complaints: • Evelyn Rain-Lily dropped a clll$ and filed a complaint against the professor after he stated that American Indians were savages and barbarians. • Student Sen. Gerri Madrid was asked by administrators to leave town for a weekend after she received threats against her life. • Student Sen. Joel Kleg was not impeached from Metro's Student Government after he allegedly said that black police officers can't be seen in the dark. • Student Sen. Joe Navarro was not impeached - RlcM Ill- 12

Name change waiting approval The committee voted 10-1 in favor of the name change. Next, the House of Representatives will vote on it, but it has still to ~ a Senate committee. Ifboth the House and the Senate approve of the name change, Metro will have a new name starting July 1. Before the vote was taken, the potential impact of the name change to Metro's credibility was debated. "I don't believe adding 'of Denver' adds credibility to Metropolitan State College. I believe we add identity and quality and those types of words to Metropolitan State College by the students that we produce and by our ability to move toward academic excellence," Madrid said.

Metro's name change controversy has officially reaehed the State Capitol. Metro President Thomas Brewer spent last fall gathering support from · the" faculty, alumni and students for the addition of "Denver" to the official name of Metropolitan State College. State legislation is required to change the name of any state school. :· In a · Jlouse committee on Monday, Jan. 22, Brewer and five other repr~entatives from Metro spoke in favor of the bill. Only one, student Sen. Gerri Madrid, spoke against it.

were upset that so much time was being spent on this issue when there is a possibility of a 12 percent tuition hike. Student Government President Kelly Martin argued that the name change would add credibility to Metro. She said that during trips out of state she had to explain where Metro was located. Madrid disagreed, saying that while she was in Washington, D.C. last March she met many students from all over the country that knew Metro was in Denver. Faculty Sen. Waldo Copley said that he had been asked if Metro was in St. Louis. There are five Metropolitan State Colleges in the country, said Brewer, and the occasion arises when the Metro in

Denver gets mixed up with the others. "We do not believe that this bill in any way reflects on our service area which does consists of six counties," said Brewer. "By saying Metropolitan State College of Denver we are clear in our identity that we are indeed a college of metropolitan Denver. So we are not attempting in any way to label the college a city of Denver institution." Brewer said that the name change will coincide with the 25th anniversary of Metro and that he does not expect to incur any extra expenses due to printing costs because existing supplies would run out by the time the change took place. Margaret Rivera, president of the MSC Alumni Association, said that they were in the process of contacting all their members about the name change. Madrid and Martin gave conflicting reports as to whether students were in favor of the name change. However, Martin did say that the Student Senate had reversed its initial approval of the name change. Rep. Shirleen Tucker, R-Lak~ wood, who voted against the bill in committee, said she received many phone calls from students who did not want the name change. Brewer said he had the support of three chambers of commerce in the area, and that of Denver Mayor Federico Pena. o

Minority leader brings new ideas Mary Anderson News Editor.

Metro has a new administrator, and this one has the title ofassistant to the vice president of academic affairs in charge of minority affairs. The President's Committee on the Status of Minorities made a recommendation to MSC President Thomas Brewer that the position was needed, and Brewer created it about a year ago, said Antonio Esquibel, vice president of Student Affairs. The committee was established to provide the institution with suggestiom on how to improve the institutional climate, according to a description supplied by Brewer. Now Manuel &camilla, who previously held the post of assistant vice president for student affairs at the University of Arizona, has chosen Metro as the stomping ground for his ideas, and has taken Brewer's. new position. Escamilla said he chose Metro because a non-traditional college ie an urban environment was the best place to implement his ideas. "We have specifically hired him for minority enrollment and r~ tention ... He brings a rich background and amazing track record

He has brought new ideas and new leadership to Metropolitan State College," Brewer said. "I was one of the interviewers last summer for student government. There were five applicants, and he was the top pick," said Student Sen. Gerri Madrid "He had the persona, the best credentials and you could see that he had done this type of work before. He just won over everybody with his personality, and that's what we need ... is somebody who can convince people that his way is the right way," she said Karen Thorpe, vice president of Student Affairs, said that his job will be to make the programs in place more effective. "He is not the director of any one program, but the adviser to all ... His charge is to talk with directors (of minority programs) and assist them on bow to be more creative in their work." "He has a lot of energy and enthusiasm ... a lot of dedication to students in general. I think he's committed to providing as many opportunities as possible to minorities," Thorpe said Although he has been at Metro for only two weeks, he insists he is not the "new kid on the block." "I have been in the business for 10 years, so I have a good picture of

what needs to be done in higher education. I have a clear picture of what needs to be done at Metro. "I will propose to the higher ~tration the implementation of early outreach programs, to start working with our young people from the time that they are in the sixth, seventh, and eigth grades ... If we are able to make an impact on them at that age, the impact we have on them will be long lasting," said Escamilla. Outreach programs would entail providing direction, guidance and advice as to what courses are the best to take in preparation for college. "Early outreatjt will not only prepare you academically, but emotionally as well as mentally ... to go to college and bes~ "Early outreach is going to take away the strange feeling that you might have about a place," said Escamilla. His idea is to provide role models ,..,and bring young students onto campus at an early_ age. He said it was necessary to include parents into the program also. "Second, I am going to propose that we become much, much more aggressive in recruitment ... We want for people to chose Metro over all other institutio.os. "(MSC needs to) ~t the high

schools on a regular basis, contact students by mail more frequently, call them on the phone more frequently, (and) bring them to the campus more frequently." Escamilla said that he would like to recruit the cream of the crop, while never forgetting the non-traditional students that might not have done well in high school. "'The third area that I'm going to propose is to strengthen our summer bridge ... where the students get a head start into getting acclimated into the college. "The fourth item that rm going to propose is that we improve our retention strategies that are already here, that we become more aggessive in making sure that the students who are coming to Metropolitan State College are using the services ... that we ltave programs in tutoring, that we have programs in peer advising, that we have programs in financial aid." Retention also includes making sure that students find employment before graduation, Escamilla said. His ideas are not just going to affect minority students, but all students, if they are implemented, he said "I have the amwers to everything. Just ask me," he said with a smile. "I'm a student advocate." o

Romer faces 'decade of the environment' Richard Sclbelll Jr. Managing Editor

Gov. Roy Romer has been given 15,000 . reasons to toughen his stance against pollution. From the steps of the State Capitol on Wednesday, Jan. 23, the Colorado Public

Interest Research Group presented Gov. Romer with more than 15,000 "pollution prevention" postcards signed by citiz.ens from around the state. The cards were the result of a six-month effort put out by CoPIRG volunteers and canvassers. "It is a very good thing that you have collected these signatures," Romer said.

"We must work together with industry to reduce waste and emissions at the source. It's a real grass-roots operation." Standing against a backdrop of aluminum cans individually wrapped with the signature cards, Richard McClintock, CoPIRG's executive director, stated that each card represented one ton of haz.ardous waste released into the environment. At the conference, McClintock outlined three proposals that he said he believed would cut toxic waste production in half by the end of the decade:

TD \

TYf'

Gov. Roy Romer

• toughening enforcement of hazardous waste laws, including increased penalties to close loopholes and to create incentives for reduction; • targeting reduction and phaseout of those chemicals that pose the greatest threat to health and the environment; including orone-depleting and known cancer-causing chemicals; • establishing a pollution-prevention program in the state to increase information about toxic use, plans by companies for reduction, and an institute to provide technical assistance to industry.

"The decade of the environment is here," McClintock said. Also present at the outdoor conference were Rep. Ruth Wright, who is sponsoring a bill to reduce the use of orone-depleting chemicals, and Rep. Matt Jones, who is sponsoring a bill to set state policy for the reduction of toxins. "The bill would be an incentive to recycle CFCs [chlorofluorocarbons, compounds which deplete the orone layer] instead of releamng them into the air," Wright said "One thing we can fix is the ozone layer." CoPIRG officials, including McClintock and Angie Keough, CoPIRG Local board chairman at Metro, said that they were pleased to see the Legislature stepping in with action. McClintock said he believed that citizens # are sending a very clear message with the signatures. They want strong steps taken to protect public health and the environment. Keough added that along with the citiz.en's increased interest has come increased legislative cooperation. ..,_ "It looks like we are going to get pollution prevention this year - it's long overdue," Keough said. o

Student government may still get lobbyist Mary Anderson News Editor

After being denied funds to pay a student to do research at the Capitol, Metro's Student Government might have found another way to get the job done. Student Government President Kelly •Martin will ask the Senate to approve appointing a volunteer at its next meeting, Wednesday, Jan. 31. Metro's Student Government Chief Justice C. Mason Golden has said he would resign his post in order to take tLe new position. But the job description has changed from the proposal that originally went before the Student Affairs Board last fall. Golden said that he would be doing actual lobbying, while previously the position only called for a researcher. Golden said he already has several pieces of legislation he would Like to solicit student

opinion about. He said he has considered forming ad-hoc senate committees to survey students and find out what they want. "We have some senators for (the position), and some against it," said Student Government Vice President Bill Jermance, who maintains that he is neutral in the issue. "There will be some problems concerning whether this person will be representing the student body and those will be dealt with." The original proposal to allot $3,800 for a student researcher at the Capitol fell one vote shy of the necessary majority at the SAB meeting October 30, 1989, after a month of consideration. Metro's Student Government must request money that exceeds its general budget from the SAB, which is made up of both student and faculty senators. "This issue should not have come before the SAB ... You should be able to create positions within your budget and move monies around," said Karen Thorpe, assistant vice president of Student Affairs.

The researcher position, approved by the student senate in September, called for a student to spend 20 hours-a-week researching legislation of interest to students. The researcher was to be selected by a special committee and report back to the senate. "It is necessary to inform the students of any bills concerning change of the educational and financial structure at Metropolitan State College. For example, say the legislature was going to introduce a bill which would cut $15 million from MSC's budget, that would be reflected in our tuition," said student Sen. Michael Green, who wrote the bill. "There are all kinds of ways of getting .information to the senate. This was just one way," Thorpe said after the SAB did not grant the request. Thorpe is a non-voting member of SAB and said she is nuetral on the issue. "The bill gave the student senate and executive branch too much power. The senate hasn't proven it would find out what

the students really wanted ... with this bill, an issue could be brought up to the senate and they vote on it, then Kelly (Martin) could lobby on that saying she represents 17,000 students. Well, she doesn't," student Sen. Meichell Walsh said. Walsh voted against the bill in the SAB. "I felt, in good faith, that they (student government) would have polled the students and gotten their input ... and I felt Kelly • Martin would follow through with getting information out to the students," Faculty Sen. Tony Ledesma said. MSC President Thomas Brewer had given his approval of the position after making several changes to the original job descrip-. tion.

Service helps job hunt Teresa Lenway Features Editor

Do you have a career change in mind? Do _.. you need to find a job after graduation? Do you simply want to find a job for extra income? The Office of Career Services may have a solution to your problem. "We'll do everything but interviewing for you or driving you to the interview," Julie .,._ Hughes, director of Career Services, said. Career Services has helped high-school students decide on a major, college students find jobs, placed graduating students in their desired fields and even aided people in finding new careers. The pr~ begins with testing for interests and aptitudes. There is a fee for most of the tests, which are optional, but an evaluation by a career counselor is included in the fee. Then, it's off to the workshops. The workshops range in topics from decision making to refining interviewing skills. -~ "People need to know how to market themselves. If an interviewer asks 'why do you think you're the right person for the position?' and you can't answer, somebody else will," Hughes said. The workshops are offered daily, on a rotating basis and are free to students. Professional career counselors can help you find your way through any myriad of career ideas. They are available by appointment or for walk-in counseling. This, too, is free to students. They may direct you to their Campus

Career Library. Here you will find employer profiles and directories. You can also look up average salaries, job titles, related and alternate career information and career assessment. In the career library, there is a computer system called "Discover." If you're a bit computer shy, it comes complete with trained advisers. "Discover" includes information about colleges nation-wide and specific occupations. Appointments are required, but it is free to students. Notebooks full of job openings line an entire bookshelf in the hbrary. "At least 25, sometimes 50 new jobs are added everyday," Hughes said, "but not all of them are in Denver, a lot are out of state." Jobs for students are posted in a room next to the lobby. These are usually nonsalaried jobs both on- and off-campus and they may not be geared toward a specific major. "We get things like loading packages for UPS for $9 an hour - at four in the morning," Hughes said. From October through December and February through May, employers visit the campus to recruit graduating seniors. A list of employers is available in the Career Services office and there is a $10 fee per semester for enrolled students and alumni to interview with these employees. Hughes said interviews like these are usually aimed at engineering, accounting and business majors. Seminars aimed at specific majors are

scheduled throughout the semseter and a pamphlet describing most of the services available can be found in the Career Services office. The next upcoming seminar will be Monday, Feb. 19 from 3:30 to 5:00 p.m. in the Student Union. The topic will be careers in the media and public relations, lead by a four-member panel ofarea media representatives. The Office of Career Services has been open since 1980, and has grown every year.

Const.ruction mess nearing completion Yvonne Barcewski The Metropolitan

By the time mid-semester break rolls around, it will be the sounds of spring, not jackhammers, beard on the Auraria Campus. "If the weather cooperates, most of the construction will be finished by the end of February," said Dean Wolf, director of the Auraria Physical Plant. "We need two to three solid weeks of good weather," he said. Construction on the mall is several months behind schedule, but within budget. Completion of the $1 .4 million project has been delayed by the discovery of construction obstacles that did not appear on city · maps, and by a lawsuit involving manufacturers of the paving materials. "Everything from Speer to Tenth streets is complete," said John Lovshin, construction manager for Auraria Campus. But construction continues on the south end of the campus. Projects to be completed are the paving in front of St. Cajetan's Center, the amphitheater in front of the Student Center, the intersection of Ninth and Lawrence streets, asphalt paving of parking lot G and landscaping. "The primary reason it is taking longer is that any time you do construction in an old

industrial site, you never know what you will run into," Wolf said. For ~xample, the discovery of two underground vaults, thought to have been connected to a conveyor system used to transport grain between the railroad and the Tivoli, caused a construction delay, Wolf said. Old waterlines were also found in the turnaround area at Ninth and Lawrence streets. The vaults and waterlines did not appear on city maps, and construction modifications were necessary before work could continue. Paving around St. Cajetan's and the amphitheater was delayed four to six weeks due to a patent infringement lawsuit between two manufacturers of the paving machines. An injunction barred the manufacturers from distributing the pavers. "We had to substitute a different paver, as close to possible to the original design, and use a different manufacturer," Lovsbin said. The replacement pavers and cold weather arrived about the same time, and construction was delayed again. "The reason we left the south end until last was because it was being used to provide access for heavy machinery working on other areas of the mall," Lovshin said. Landscaping will wait until warmer weather arrives, as will the asphalt paving in the parking lots. Asphalt costs much more in winter than it does in spring. "The mall project is within budget, and it will stay within budget," Wolf said. o

Emergency loans can stretch book budget Gwen Estridge The Metropolitan

Metro State College has a service on campus that loans students up to $200 All" interest-free. The program, Student Support or Help Emergency Loan Program (H.E.L.P.}, has actually been assisting financially troubled students since 1980. It's available to any MSC student who is ~ taking six or more credit hours and can prove that they can pay back the loan within 30 days. . Barbara Clark, director of Student Support, said she feels that students can really benefit from this service if they get into a bind when it comes to buying books or paying bills. "What we provide here is a short-term loan service to students to try and bail them out of difficult situations whether it be to buy books or strictly to eat," Clark said. When applying for a loan, a student must ·,... present a student ID card with the proper semester validation sticker, a class printout from Admissions and Records dated the day the applicant chooses to apply for the loan and they must fill out a form supplying personal information and sufficient proof that the loan will be reimbursed. Hstudents receive financial aid, they must present documented collateral by providing a letter from the MSC Financial Aid Office stating that fact. Students who work on campus· must present a letter from their supervisor stating

the number of hours per week the student works, the rate of pay, the supervisor's name and telephone number. Students employed off-campus.must present a letter, on company letterhead, with the number of hours worked per week, rate of pay, length of employment, and employer's name and telephone number. H the loan is not payed back within the time allowed, it will be turned over to the Colorado Collection Agency and the student may not register for another term, they will not receive their grades and they will not be able to get their transcripts until the loan is payed In full. "In all the loans. applied for last semester, 99 percent of them were approved and last year we had the best reimbursement rate as of yet with only a 1.9 percent loss," Clark said. The Student Support Program is allocated from student fees and, if the application is approved on a Monday, the money won't be available to the student until that Wednesday or Friday. So it's best that students apply at least two busines.5 days before the day the money is needed. "We've been here for quite a while and really want to help students get through their money hassles. I know what it's like when it comes to money problems because I'm a student myself and that's what I'm here for is to help others," Clark said. For more information regarding the Student Support (H.E.L.P.) program, it is located in Central Classroom Building Room 107, or call 556-4435. D

Mexico a classroom for lucky students Mary Anderson News Editor

''Palenque ... what a greaJ site! The ruins are so steep here - I think I'm a little afraid of heights since my knees were shaking on the way down the pyramid The hieroglyphs are stiff confusing to me, but I'm back tomorrow to try again. There are a couple I might be able to recognize ''Thejungle has either covered or destroyed many of the temples that they built Our journey took us by so many ... It was very exciting and amazed me all the more at how clever the Mayans were, since it must have been difficult to build such grand temples in the middle of the YucatanjWig/e." -excerpt from Marti Long's journal written at the base of the Temple to the Inscriptions in the Mexican state of Chiapas on Jan. 9, 1990. Never say that earning academic credit

has to be boring. Long and 11 other Metro students spent their Christmas vacation climbing pyramids in the Yucatan peninsula, the home of the pre-Columbian Mayan civilization, as part of Chicano Studies 380, "Maya Symbols and Hieroglyphi~." In a tour that took them across three Mexican states, Quintana Roo, Yucatan and Chiapas, the students explored four ruin sites from Jan. 4 to 16. "I learned a lot by visiting the sites," said Frank Rodman, a 26-year-old-economi~ major. "I learned a lot about (the Mayan's) engineering skills. I remember how amaz.ed I was at the size and accuracy of the pyramids." Rodman said he also learned about the Mayan's other skills, such as medicine, astronomy, astrology and their use of the calendar. After two nights in Cancun, the group traveled by bus to the site of Chitchen Itza, where they saw their first pyramid (to the god Kulkulkan), a sacrificial well called a cenote and an observatory built hundreds of years before telescopes. "I was impressed by the observatory. It looked just like a modem one, the way they built it," said Rodman. After observing the differences in architectural styles between the Mayan "Old Chitchen" and the Toltec "New Chitchen" (an empire established in the area during the post-classic era), they r~boarded the bus for Merida. Merida, the capital ofthe state of Yucatan, is a busttin& provincial city. David Conde, who organized the trip through MSC's Institute of Language and Culture, said it represents, in many wavs. the true Mexico. , Conde, whohas~doctorateinLatinAmerican Language and Literature, qeated the Institute in 1976, and is now chairman of the modem

•Ir METROPOLITAN language department. The Plaza of Independence, flanked by outdoor cafes, a colonial church and the Governor's Palace, is its most obvious attraction. Two days later the group continued, without Conde, to the site of Palenque. A part-time language instructor, Francisco Padilla, lead the group for two days while Conde flew back to ·Oenver for a family emer2encv. The group then made the exlWlsting 10hour bus trip to Palenque, in the state of Chiapas, to study the hieroglyphic writings. There, the group translated dates from the temple walls and climbed up the Temple of Inscriptions, only to climb down the inside to visit the tomb of Lord Pakal. After returning to Cancun, the group made a day trip to the ancient port city of · Tulum. Not as spectacular as the previous three sites, Tulum, neverthc:less had plenty to offer. Being a post~iccity, the students could see the Toltec influences, especially the wall surrounding the city. However, the whole trip was not spent in pursuit of the students' one credit hour. Along the way, they managed to take in the best of Mexico: they ate octopus, wrestled sharks, swam by a waterfall, hiked in the jungle with a machete guide, collected shells and coral along the beaches, bargained at the markets, snorkeled, took ho~awn carriage rides through the colonial city of Merida, spent thousands of pesos, and, most important, watched the Broncos defeat Cleveland on Sunday, Jan. 14 in a bar with a satellite dish in the small town of Valladolid ''You're immersed both with the modem Maya on the street and in the mercado, and with the old Maya by visiting the great pyramids and temples of Uxmal, Chitchen Itza, Palenque and the other sites. That's what makes these trips so good," said

Meadow Creek

Marilyn Heil, a 26-year-old biology major who has gone on seven trips to Mexico with the institute. "I think the itinerary was perfect to facilitate those who wanted to do some more in-depth work at the sites," Conde said. "Educationally, Dr. Conde's program is the best possible way to learn about the Maya as a culture and a people that cannot be learned in the traditional classroom situation," Heil said "'The trips are like an addiction. Once you go, you keep coming back because they always go.to new places ... It's always an adventure and always exciting. Dr. Conde changes the itinerary enough every year so that you always see new things," Heil said Conde said that he was looking to take students to central Mexico on the next trip in 1991, to visit such sites as Monte Alban, Oaxca, Mitla and Mexico City. "All these ideas are tentative," Conde said. "The staff will get together and find the best possible itinerary for the best possible dollar." The trip costs $850.

Jam•y 26, 1990

LETTERS Stranger Than Fiction By Chad Morris Welcome to the 90s! I've been reading the papers again (nasty habit, I know. One is ever sure what to bel ieve) and, I must confess, I'm a bit excited about this whole " new decade" thing . According to a recent article, by 1994 we'll all be driving Moller 400 levitation vehicles. These little suckers are described as a cross between a Corvette and a helicopter - functional , stylish and capable of flight. And , for 20 grand a pop, they're cheaper than a Porsche. Sign up quick, I hear they're selling like hotcakes. And dieters, your worries are over. The same article claims that Lev-0-Cal, a no-calorie sugar, will be on the shelves not long after you've taken that Moller 400 for a test flight. OK, you're not on a diet and flying cars aren't your cup of tea - but everbody likes to snack, right? Are you sick of your co-workers' jeers -as you gobble your way through a package of Hostess cupcakes? Well, if you are, the fabulous decade ahead holds the answer for you : high-fiber cupcakes. That's right, inst~ad of flour (fattening, often mistaken for that other white powder, gross) these puppies are loaded with high fiber oat bran-type stuff. Ever seen the ad on "Saturday Night Live" for Colon Blow? Th is stuff works the same way only it's not a breakfast cereal with one million times the fiber of any other breakfast cereal. It's a high-impact snack food for you self-conscious snackers. Yes, by golly, it looks like a decade to put the 80s and even the Jetsons to shame. Flying cars, no-cal sugar, healthy snacks masquerading as junk food. Doesn't sound too bad, eh? Maybe they'll find a cure for Dan Quayle. Yeah, right. This stuff cracks me up. Every decade, or supposed "dawning of a new era," some bunch of quacks starts yacking about flying cars and cities on the moon or under the ocean and miracle food and a thousand other things that, if they were really possible, would be pretty cool to have around but that no one really seems to have a desire for. In the previous self-indulgent decade, technology has adapted itself to fit the needs of the consumer- Fax machines, pagers, car telephones , personal computers and VCRs, to name a few. In the process, technolog"y that would benefit society as a whole - actually cultivating a wonder food, eradication of diseases like cancer (yes, it's still with us, folks) or AIDS, exploring space or even our own oceans - this kind of stuff has fallen by the wayside. So great, everyone's got their little piece - the PC, the VCR and the ubiquitous answering machine - and the price is that, in a few years, "wild animals" will exist only in zoos, we'll have to start learning to breath carbon monoxide because the rain forests (a major contributor of oxygen on this planet, in case you didn't know) will be obliterated and, worst of all, we'll probably still be stuck with Dan Quayle. Of course, in all fairness, all is not bleak. There are actually signs that people are beginning to force technology to adapt to the rapidly deteriorating condition of our planet. Recycling is making a comeback, bio-degradable products are increasing and anti-pollution legislation and mass-transit plans have actually made the inland voyage to Denver (everyone's favorite brown cloud) . In a way, one has to respectthequackswhocome up with those wild ideas every decade. They still have the power to see beyond themselves and envision a future utopia. Oh, well, Happy New Year. o

~dvocate' distorted facts Editor, In response to the Letter to the Editor published in the January 16, 1990 "The- Advocate," I would like to provide some of the facts as reported by Public Safety (the writer has omitted and misrepresented the facts of· this situation) . The-writer writes in the 1st person and the identity is public reco.rd. Therefore, I will respond accord ingly. The officer in th is situation was unaware that the owner had a history of non-compliance; this was, however, learryed very quickly as you can see. On Dec. 5, 1989, Auraria Public Safety responded to a request from the Parking and Transportat ion Office to tow a vehicle that had outstanding parking citations. The responding officer was Mr. John Van Dyke. The vehicle's owner, a Mr. Kevin Amsberry (editor of "The Advocate"), came to his car, requesting that the towing of his vehicle be delayed. The officer denied this request. While the officer proceeded to complete the tow, Mr. Amsberry entered and locked himself in his car, advising the officer that a camera crew was en route. The officer requested the owner to unlock the door, and exit his vehicle. The owner rolled down his window. The officer then requested that the owner exit the vehicle. Not gaining any cooperation , the officer reached inside in an attempt to unlock the door. The vehicle's owner rolled the window up, trapping the officer's arm. Mr. Amsberry's continuing to roll the

window up was entirely uncalled for. The officer again requested the owner get out of his vehicle. The officer continued his advisements, and the owner unlocked the door then rolled down the window, and was placed under arrest. Mr. Amsberry was initially arrested for interference, assault and resisting arrest. The De1Jver police were called , and charged Mr. Amsberry with assault and resisting arrest. It was also learned that Mr. Amsberry had outstanding warrants out of Denver and Arapahoe counties, at which time the Denver police escorted him to jail, based on these warrants. Wh ile faced with this situation, the officer was certainly cognizant of other forceful options avai lable to him. He was, however, aware of his working environment and, with this in mind, used good restraint. Our offic~rs are trained to use· patience in handling these very stressful situations which could easi ly escalate. Officers on this campus are proud to work here, and they take a personal pride in serving and protecting the Auraria community. This department has produced dozens of excellent police officers. Some have gone on to serve other communities, some have chosen to remain within the campus law enforcement profession here. Auraria Public Safety has a reputation with the Denver and metro area law enforcement communitie~ that is above reproach.

- David V. Rivera Chief, Aurarla Publlc Safety

Martin blasts senate Editor, Tell me, ASMSC, what have you done for me lately? Last spring the student body elected me, with 364 votes, to be the student body president. The positions for senate were filled with votes that amounted to, at the most, two-thirds of that. The majority of those students were elected on the Student Voice Platform. The sad thing is that the presidential candidates that were on that platform were not chosen to fill office. Since the beginning of my term , I have fought a group of people who hold a majority in the senate. Sounds like we have the same dilemma the President of the United States has with Congress. Let's review the platform I ran on for office: 1. Teacher Evaluations. 2. A Lobbyist for the students. 3. Enriched student programs. 4. Enhanced Communications. As.I< Gerri Madrid, chair of the Senate Academic Affairs Committee, what happened to the teacher evaluation effort. When questioned by a student as to why, she said, "We voted to not deal with it." That says to me NOT FIGHT FOR IT. It has died, or at least been placed on the back burnerfor yet another year. Tell me, Ms. Madrid, what is the real reason? Ask Meichell Walsh why the Student Affairs Board voted down the funding of a legislative liaison when the entire senate, excluding their measly six abstentions, voted for the position. The excuse given was that student government can not get itself together - h'ow could they ever deal with a liaison to the legislature. Excuse me, but how can that small body, who usually can not obtain quorum at one of their meetings, expect to be the judge and jury for the entire student government? Once again, as Meichell Walsh HOW, when we have programs as fine as the MSC Flight Team and The Metropolitan newspaper, they could even consider cutting these programs back. Perhaps the monies have not been properly managed, yet this is the responsibility of Meichell Walsh and the Student Affairs Board to set procedures that would not allow student groups to mak~e mistakes with their finances. Perhaps they think

that would be putting the cart before the horse. Maybe it is because they would not get the opportunity to humiliate and or slap these students' hands when they finally get all the paperwork completed to even appear before a committee that will inevitably tear their programs apart. Just whose money is it, anyway? - • Then again, there is the same student voice group who you could ask, "Where is my communication?" Do you know each of them were handed a bag of student discount cards to reach out to YOU, the students, with? Those same senators left those bags in student government as they went stomping out crying that they did not have the time, and that they do enough for the students. Elections are coming up this April. Let's do Metropolitan State College a favor, and run as many different people from all diverse areas of the institution for office. Let us vote for people who are not afraid to fight and make a difference at Metropolitan State College. So much for a senate who would vote by a two-thirds majority to modify the name to Metropolitan State College (to Metropolitan State College of Denver) one week, and two weeks later remove that support with a six to five vote when attendance is down. Not to mention that now, with their same tactics, they will attempt to vote that "They do not like me anymore" .: when, as a student, I testified at the House Education .-Committee that a geographic anchor such as "of Denver" would give us enhanced recognition out of state. As an end note, anybody can testify at the Colorado Legislature. Take the opportunity if you feel strongly about an issue coming up. I also encourage you to feel strongly enough about Metropolitan State College to get involved in student politics, and maybe accomplish something for the students in the years to come. Unfortunately, I graduate this year, but I will contribute faithfully as an alumnus! It is my duty to protect the rights and interests of the ~ student body. I hope I have done at least that. Thank You,

- Kelly M. Martin · ASMSC President

EDITORIAL

Administration 'spriorities btidly skewed

Elsewhere in this issue you will find a status report on House Bill 1167, the legislation to change Metro's name to Metropolitan State College of Denver. Also elsewhere in this issue, you will find articles on the hassles involved in parking your car, MSC's longoverdue appointment of an assistant vice president in charge of minority affairs, a reaction from tile school's administrators to the Denver Post article of Jan. 15, which portrayed Metro as a prime example of institutionalized racism. Which of these issues do you consider most important to the school? You would think that a school as big as this, with as many different problems to overcome, would have its energies concentrated on something a little less ... cosmetic. So why is the administration making such a big deal out of the name of the school, when there was really nothing wrong with the old one? Wait until you hear this. In October of 1988, MSC held the first Plain and Fancy Ball to raise money for scholarships. It was a huge success. So huge that MSC won an award from th~ Council for the Advancement and Support of Education, which gives recognition to outstanding fund-raising programs nationally every year. Well, when the award's presentation was reported in t~e media, somebody confused Metropolitan State College in Denver with Me.tropolitan State University in St. Paul, Minn.

MSC's Department of Institutional Advancement, who put mont hs of preparation am:l hard work into the event, was upset about that, understandably. They weren't given the credit they deserved. So the mecjia screwed up again. No news there. But somebody in the upper echelon of Metro administration didn't quite see it that way, and the effort to change the name to one that was "media-proof" was born. We can only imagine the grueling hours spent meeting behind closed doors as the powers that be struggled to ensure a crisis could not happen again, the reams of paperwork used as internal memoranda were circulated with hundreds of possible names on them and the countless phone calls made to the Colorado State Legislature trying to find someone to sponsor the bill to change the school's name. That's right, bill. Presumably because MSC (MSCD?) is a state institu- ' tion, any name change must be enacted by the state legislature, in the same manner a law would be. This way, our elected officials get to fritter their time away addressing a non-issue, too. Why should Metro (Metro Den?) administrators have atl the fun? Not surprisingly, MSC Student Government got into the act as well. First, they decided to support the name change in a letter to the state legislature, but then nobody wrote it, so that didn't really do any good. Then somebody wondes:ect aloud Uokingly, no doubt, with no intention of being taken seriously.) whetherthestudents

were interested in having the name of the school changed . After a few impromptu surveys over lunch in the Student Union cafeteria, it was decided that students didn't really care what the school was called. So student government's support for the name change was withdrawn. Metro President Tom Brewer came to a senate meeting to urge them to reconsider, saying it was really more of a name modification than change, and tacking two little words onto the end of the school's name was hardly worth fighting over. Brewer also put to rest the rumor that the real reason for the name change was so Metro wouldn't have the same initials as Mesa State College in Grand Junction. Well, House Bill 1167 has gone to committee now, and it remains to be seen what drama is left to unfold in the newest chapter in the story of MSC's identity crisis. Only one thing is certain: as soon as this is put to bed, and Metro does or doesn't have a new name, and all the signs are changed and the new letterhead is ordered, and the media are notified of the new name so they won't refer to the old one by mistake, and the logo of the school is changed, the administration will get started on the things that really count. Things like the drop fee, the parking problem, the space crunch, campus security and all the rest. But I'm not holding my breath.

from student government after allegedly making~ comments against whites. "I think the articJe was accurate," said Richard Jackson, an instructor in the criminal justice department who was quoted in Johnston's article. ''The things said by Evelyn Rain-Lily all came out in a panel on racism and prejudice (last fall) ... There's a tape of her and other people telling the whole story ... No faculty or administrators came (to the panel).'' Madrid said that the facts were misconstrued. "I told some administrators that I felt like going home that day and they said, 'Well, that would be a good idea if that's what you want to do.' •• Madrid said that some administrators have since apologized for not realizing how upset she was about the threats. "I'm not happy with the way administration handled it ... I felt like the first two pages (of the article) were sensationalized to see how bad she could make Metro look and it made me feel used," Madrid said. Karen Thorpe, ~istant vice president of

Student Affairs, said that a administrator would never suggest that a student leave town. "Metro has a better (minority) record than UCO or CCD ... I think this is a very supportive environment for minorities." Johnston said she compiled the information about Madrid from a variety of sources, not just from Madrid.

''She (Johnston) did not twist what I bad to say," said Kleg, ''She wasn't receptive to information · given to her. She was only receptive to what she wanted to hear." Kleg also said that he did not think that minorities are snubbed at Metro.. "It was an article that bad to be written," said Navarro, "because I've had the same concerns for a long time." Navarro said that be was concerned with one paraphrase that referred to the Director of the Equal Opportunity Office, Percy Morehouse, being on the college's payroll. "I did not say that. I do think that the Equal Opportunity Office should be in a different institution, though," said Navarro. Navarro said that he heard Several positive comments on campus about the article. o

Auraria campus, home of Metropolitan State College, CU-Denver and Community College ofDenver, has approximately 31,000 students, faculty and staff all vying for its 3,500 parking spaces.

This poses a problem for students attempting to find a parking space and get to classes on time. But there are alternatives. One alternative is Denver Regional Council of Governments' Ride Arrangers. Students can fill out forms listing their home locations, work hours and class schedules and are then matched with another student whose sche-

dule and residence coincides with theirs. Car ·poolers are rewarded with .discount parking rates of 75¢ per day in designated parking lots C south, D, F and H. Students are also encouraged to use RTD as a transportation source. RTD discount bus passes are offered to students and are sold in the Student Union.

and would prefer not to walk alone on campus at night. "It's perfect for the students, and our drivers must go through safety driving courses before they start working for us. We will come and pick the students up when they call and tell us their location or they can leave a schedule with us concerning certain times when they need to be picked up," Besser said. The Nightrider express has many pick-up locations including the Dravo building and the UCO School of Business. For more information about the Nightrider evening expr~ call 556-3257.

Video artist looks for outlet Mark Christensen The Metropolitan

•

- •

Debbie Holle is looking for a space to hang her art. Holle is a video artist, and as popular as video art is becoming, there are very few outlets for her work in the Denver area. So, Holle is taking matters into her own hands. She is forming Colorado Video Artists, a cooperative for creative video people to exhibit their talents, share their ideas, combine their energies and, one day, maintain a full-time gallery for video art Holle is a self-described television child and a graduate from Metro State College with a contract major in Multi-Media Methods and Communications and is working for Mile Hi Cablevision as a community producer. She said her desire for a career in video art came from a combination of film courses at the University of Colorado at Boulder, script writing and video art courses at Metro as well as an internship at Channel 6. She fell in love with art but does not consider herself an artist in the classic sense. Her experience in industrial video production seemed too restrictive. She said she believes that video art helps her think more creatively and press her boundaries.

January 26, 1990

Last December, Holle joined with two other artists to produce a public video art exhibit. The success of the show instilled in her the idea of a full-time gallery that would be available as a place for video artists to present their works. The gallery would allow an outlet for the medium, a location for up-and-coming artists to explore their· creative sides, and share their ideas and concepts. Holle knows of no other such gallery in the Denver area that provides the public with access to the visual impact or expression of video artists. She said she believes that the lack of "video galleries" is due to the cost. "Video art is a bulky, expensive, electronic oriented" medium, Holle said, but she hopes that, "one day, we could have a permanent address where people could view video art." Holle said that the co-op could be an outlet for all of the "closet video artists" out there. Artists remain frustrated due to the expense of equipment and production and the lack of support. "Video artists are just as distinct and varied as other artists," Holle said. "Video art is just as open-ended and unlimited as other forms of art," Holle said, adding that she has viewed a variety of topics and styles that range from abstract imagery to environmental and philosophical subjects. "Denver could become as cognizant and receptive (to video art) as people in New York or L.A.," Holle predicted, and she said that the Colorado Video Artists Co-op could become an avenue where video artists could express themselves and make the public aware of their art. "It would depend on people's energy and their commitment. That would determine how far it could go," Holle commented. Holle said she is interested in hearing from other artists, or anyone who wants to be involved in pioneering the metro-area market for the video arts.

Disney looking for a few good musicians Laura C. Seeger The Metropolitan

Music majors may want to consider missing the Super Bowl on Jan. 28 to audition for special internships. Walt Disney World will conduct auditions on campus for students to take part in an 11-week "summer learning experience," part of the All-American College Instrumentalist program. Summer internships at the park have been offered before, said Frank Jermance, a UCD music management professor, but what makes this program unique, he said, is that this would allow students to work as fulltime, paid, professional musicians that back major acts. Traditionally, summer interns are hired as park employees, performing other duties such as running the rides in addition to

playing in the band. Jermance is encouraging participation from students in music programs from as far away as Wyoming for a number of reasons. "Ultimately, it's important for the university to be seen as a center for this kind of event. We want to show them that we have a unique, interesting program here - bright students," be said. "Walt Disney World is one of the most well-run entertainment conglomerates in the world," he said. " It's important that they see Denver as a viable region." Disney will also tour major cities such as Boston and New York during its national search in which 93 people will be selected. Auditions will be held from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. For further details, contact Frank Jermance in the CU-Denver music departmentat556-834l. o

versity of Alaska-Anchorage on Thursday, Feb. 1. Next to Illinois, Anchorage is perhaps Metro's greatest challenge. Metro and Anchorage are tied at number one in the latest NCAA Division II North Central region poll, and nationally, the two teams flip-flopped in the standings. Ranked second nationally last week, the Roadrunners dropped to seventh after an 84-81 overtime loss to Seattle Pacific on Jan. 18. Anchorage, formerly number six nationally, climbed to number two.

路~METROPOLITAN

The Metro State men's basketball team bas earned a name change. How about the Road Warriors instead of the Roadrunners? Tuesday night, Jan. 22, they made it 9 of 11 on the road this year by beating DU 88-64 at the Regis College Fieldhouse. The Roadrunners (16-2) were led by 6foot-7-incb senior forward Shun Tillman's 26 points and 11 rebounds and Ralph Rivers, a 6-foot-3-inch sophomore guard, chipped in 19 points and 11. rebounds. Tillman's point total was two short of the 28 he needed to become Metro's all-time leading scorer. If the 'Runners have been tough on the road, they've been nothing short of stellar at home. They've become regular homeboys, winning their last 19 games in the Auraria Gymnasium, but the meat of their home schedule is coming up. Following one more road game at Eastern Montana College on Saturday, Jan. 27, the Roadrunners come home to face the Uni-

Roadrunners' coach Bob Hull

"We're looking forward to playing Alaska (Anchorage)," Tillman said. "We've both got something to prove." It should be a brawl, but Metro isn't looking past their next opponent. They're true-believers in the one-game-at-a-time clicbe after opening conference play with the loss to Seattle Pacific. "We gave (the Seattle game) away," coach Bob Hull said and Gene Edwards, a 6'2" senior guard, agreed ''To have an 18-point lead and blow it, that's kind of crazy," Edwards said. "I fault

GRADUATE T0$8-9/HR

myself. I'm supposed to be the one running the show and I let it get out of hand." Edwards has been the team leader this season. His 22-point average per game leads all scorers and he has gained national attention by being named Sports lliustrated's Small College Player of the Week three weeks ago. But it was the outstanding play of 6-foot9-inch senior center Mike Paulsen that brought the team back following the Seattle game. Paulsen led Metro's scoring effort with 21 points and out-rebounded everyone with 10 boards in a decisive 90-70 win over Cal State-Saaamento on Jan. 20. "We came back the next night (at Sacramento)," Edwarcb said, "andshowed that we have a lot of poise and character. It's going to be tough to beat us now." And while Hull said that there's no such thing as a "good" loss, "sometimes you have to learn a lesson. We were kind of getting away with games where we'll tum it on, tum it off, tum it on and you can't do that against good teams." "(The Seattle loss) kind of brought us back to reality," Edwards said. "We have that learning experience. We know what it takes. We know that we can be beat." The air of invincibility was cleared somewhat by the loss. The Roadrunners had been plowing through the opposition so far this season, winning two tournaments and beating a Division I school (Mississippi 86-81) on the road. Their only loss before Seattle came at the hands of Division I, top-ten team, lliinois. "We'd rather have (the Seattle loss) now, at the beginning of conference play, than toward the end, say when we're playing Alaska-Anchorage for the championship," Edwards said.

Sounds like they're getting psyched for Anchorage, doesn't it? They should. AlaskaAnchorage's only four losses this year have been to Division I teams, induding a respectable showing against Oklahoma. They've also beaten two Division I teams -William and Mary and Auburn. The road to the playoffs goes through Anchorage - Metro plays at Anchorage on Feb. 24 - and the team knows it. "We want to win the league," Hull said. ''That's our goal right now is to win the conference and if we do that then the playoffs will take care of themselves." "My goal is to win the conference and be in the final four of the playoffs," Edwards said. And at 'this point, those goals seem realistic. Starting with Anchorage, six of the Roadrunner's next seven games are at home - a place they love to be, even if the crowds have been somewhat disappointing. "I wouldn't characterize it as a lack of support," Hull said. "I just think there's a lot of people who don't know when we play and where we play and how to get down here and where to park." After the much-anticipated Anchorage game on Feb. 1, Metro plays AlaskaFairbanks on Feb. 3. Fairbanks always plays the Roadrunners tough. The games are free with an MSC student I.D. "I think (attendance) is going to pick up in January and February," Hull said. "People here in Colorado don't really get into basketball in December. I think with football and skiing and the holidays nobody has time for it." After the Super Bowl, though, it should be interesting to see if the Roadrunners can pick up where the Buffs and Broncos left off and D bring a national title to Denver.
