Tammy Pacheco The Metropolitan Metropolitan State College of Denver has a new policy on religious discrimination because a Jewish student compl• ained to the Affirmative Action Advisory Council. MSCD student Joel Kleg said he missed Diane Hartman's beginning reporting class to attend Passover Seder in April. Due to Hartman's policy of not accepting work past deadline, Kleg was not able to make up the work he missed. He has since accused Hartman of religious discrimination. Hartman said that she had made the rule and that no exceptions were made for any student in the class, and that good attendance was also considered in the final grade. _ "1 gave him (Joel) the zeros for missing the classes but, because he had good at-

tendance, I didn't figure those zeros into his final grade," Hartman said. Kleg asked to see his final grades, but ' has not received them. "They'll give me the letter grade, but they won't give me the numerical grade," Kleg said. According to Hartman, the zeros didn't hurt his grade at all. A committee formed at MSCD to hear Kleg's complaint found that Hartman treated all her students in the same manner, and Kleg's grade was not hurt by the missing grades. But the committee also found that MSCD' slack of aclear policy on absences due to religious holidays left room for possible charges of discrimination. As a result, Director of Equal Opportunity and Assistant to the President Percy A. Morehouse, Jr. drafted a four-part policy on nonattendance because of religious beliefs. "It's been approved by the [MSCD\

policy change

President Thomas Brewer's] Cl}binet," Morehouse said. ·The "Class Attendance on Religious Holidays Policy," went into effect Aug. 29. It allows for students, who are unable to attend a class on a particular day due to religious beliefs, to be excused from any examination or work requirement on that day. According to Hartman, Kleg said he, at first, wanted a school policy regarding religious practice and missing class. Kleg now says he wants his gr~de changed because he feels he deserves an "A." Kleg is not satisfied with the committee's finding and has asked the Anti-defamation League and the American Civil Liberties Union for their help. " I don't understand why he is carrying this out," Hartman said. The religious policy will be available to students as soon as the Board of Trust:l ees has a final look at it.

Former AHEC Parking director named interim vice president

Below are listed Auraria Physical Plant status reports for various construction projects on campus.

Julie Pezze The Metropolitan Although Richard Alfultis has dditional responsibilities as the uraria Higher Education Center' s ew interim executive vice presient for Administration, he finds ·s new job to be "less stressful" han his former position as director f Parking and Transportation. Alfultis describes his interim sition as "one of the managers of JI the non-acad~mic service diviions of AHEC. "You might call it the executive ecretary of the Board of Directors or Auraria," Alfultis said. He is one of four members of e executive council which overees the budget, supervises diviions' activities, and he is "the guy ho gets to answer" if those serices don't come out properly, he aid. Alfultis considered his job at arking and Transportation to be ore stressful because the deciions were more immediate and e impact of those decisions was ore "controversial," he said. His new position involves more ong-range planning tactics. 'Tm aced with more day-to-day conontations and more challenges of hether we did the right thing," he aid. "It's a joke .. . and it may be e, the only people who smile ess than people in parking are the tudent aid people," he said. Alfultis was recommended for

Parking Garage: Approximately 75 percent of the structural precast concrete has been erected, along with portions of the exterior brick panels.

New VP for Administration at Auraria Higher Education Center Richard Alfultis the position by Auraria Board Chair Betty Miller because of his familiarity with AHEC operations. "It was a matter of finding someone who could maintain the relationships and whatever momentum there is on activities and efforts that are now going on," said Alfultis, who assumed the position earlier this month. Aiful tis is also acquainted with members of the Colorado Commission on Higher Education, with which he will be working in efforts to acquire legislative, capital construction appropriations to eventually build an additional AHEC classroom building. "We work on a new classroom building far in advance. The new initiative is underway and I have to keep it going or it will fall out of

the cycle and we 'lllose it," Alfultis said. Alfultis is not a candidate for the permanent position. When asked why not, he said, "I'm not sure I want to make a long-term commitment." The AHEC Board of Directors is expected to announce executive vice president candidate selections during its next meeting scheduled for Sept. 10. Former Executive Vice President for Administration Jim Schoemer has taken the position as vice president of Administration at Regis College. Schoemer said he chose Regis because of its rapid and the challenge of worpng at a private institution. 0

Impropriety puts pair in pokey After an incident at the Tivoli, both perpetrator and victim were arrested. At approximately 2 a.m. on Aug. 30, an officer observed several people jumping up and down on the hood and windshield of a Ford Mustang parked in the 900 block of Walnut Street. Upon seeing the officer, the group scattered. All of them got away except Daniel . Jerry Gutierrez. Gutierrez was placed under arrest for criminal mischief to an automobile. Meanwhile, the others ran

southbound through the campus and into the housing projects south of W. Colfax Avenue. The owner of the vehicle, Keith Cunningham, 18, was working his security guard job when this occurred. The police contacted Cunningham and it turns out that Cunningham was wanted on an outstanding failure to appear warrant in Greenwood Village. Cunningham then was taken into custody by the Denver Police Department and transported to municipal jail.

Iraqi, Kuwaiti students talk about conflict Cheryl Suazo The Metropolitan Two MSCD students, one from Kuwait and one from Iraq, were asked to tell how they feel about the conflict between their two nations. Although the students' nations are now enemies, they expressed similar opinions on two major points. Both of the students said they still hope for unity of the Arab nations, and they both said that U.S. and multi-national troops should not be in Saudi Arabia. Before the Aug. 2 invasion, Kuwaiti senior AlxJullah Alshawaf, 31, a mechanical engineering major, telephoned his family in Kuwait every week. Since the invasion he has not heard from them, and he is worried. He said he would rather be back home fighting the Iraqi forces. Alshawaf said that, before the invasion, Kuwaitis generally liked Iraq 's President Saddam Hussein "until his teeth became so long that he bit the first hand that gave him food." Kuwait supported Iraq during the Iraq-Iran war. "When the war finished two years ago, Iraq had about one million military troops," Alshawaf said. "(Hussein) was afraid that his troops would revolt against him, so he had to do something to keep them busy." It would not have mattered which country Hussein invaded -Turkey, Syria, Jordan , Kuwait - as long as his troops kept busy with something other than planning a revo-

lution or coup, Alshawaf said. Alshawaf said he hopes the confrontation will end peacefully because he thinks military action would lead to World War III. " If they fight, (Hussei n) will destroy Kuwait completely before he leaves," he said. But the destruction would also include many other Arab countries in the region, he said, because of Iraq 's missile capability. Alshawaf said his brother escaped from Kuwait just one week ago and gave him an eyewitness account of the situation. "He said it is completely miserable," Alshawaf said. "They were attacking and bombing the houses with the tanks." He said that in addition to the carnage, the Kuwaitis are suffering more from the United Nations economic sanctions than are the Iraqis. "Maybe the unity of the Arab nations will come, but not this way," he said. "The way that Saddam did this is completely wrong. He killed a lot of people in Kuwait, and if you want unity between two countries, you don't enter the country and rob everything. Just change the government and say, 'This belongs to Iraq,' and maybe the Kuwaiti people would agree about that. Ifeverything would (remain) the same." Alshawaf said that most Iraqis are afraid of Hussein "because he is a killer." "He even killed his nephew and his brother-in-law," he said. "So don't expect any Iraqi to say that Saddam is wrong. Before the invasion of Kuwait, even for the Kuwaitis, the Saudis or anybody in the Gulf area, we were not allowed to say anything

bad against Saddam. If you said anything they would put you in jail." Alshawaf said the invasion has not made him dislike the Iraqi people. " It is the government that is the worst thing," he said. " I have some cousins living in Iraq, and they are Iraqi. So I am worried about the people in Iraq and Kuwait." Both Alshawaf and the Iraqi student said the conflict is between their countries and others should not get in vo lved . Even though the Saudi Arabian government wants the U.S. and multi-national troops to help protect their oil fields, Alshawaf said he does not think foreign troops should be deployed there. "I think it is better solved in an Arabic way and not bring in any other foreign troops because Iraq has a million troops, and everybody else will send at least one million," Alshawaf said. "And the losers will be Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and even Iraq. "The problem with the Americans is that they are not there to fight. They want to settle there (with permanent military installations)," he said. "And you will notice, after two or three years, they will stay there without any fight there. They will stay there just to prove they are the powerful Americans. If they wanted to fight they would have fought (Hussein) before he brought more troops to the area." The Iraqi student, who requested anonymity, was reluctant to talk about Hussein and refused to talk about certain events concerning her country. She said she does

not know why Hussein invaded Kuwait, but she believes he must have had a valid reason. . "The main problem is the oil problems," she said. "There are oil fields that are shared by Iraq and Kuwait. That's what we heard from the Middle East. We don't really know the reason, but I'm sure there is a good reason. We don't have to know it. We don't run the country. We can live without knowing it. We can still drive our cars, eat our food, go to the movies without knowing the reason. And the Kuwaitis can still do that in Kuwait, but they ran away." She said she thinks the media have blown the conflict out of proportion. "This is our country and the Kuwaitis' country," she said. "If it is oil, we did not say, ' We are not going to sell you oil anymore.' And between the people, I don't think that whenever a country invades another country it means that we are going to kick them. When America invaded Panama you didn' t kick the people of Panama out. " We didn't do anything (to the Kuwaitis). They just ran away from the country to protect their money. People in Iraq don't do any of the stuff the news is saying or that people who ran away from Kuwait are saying," she said. She said people now feel sorry for the Kuwaitis because they think they have no country or money.

New VP, LAS Dean set goals Tammy Pacheco The Metropolitan

The School of Letters, Arts and Sciences welcomed the new Vice President for Academic Affairs David W. Williams at its first meeting of the year and presented goals for the upcoming school year. 'Tm looking forward to great things happening," Williams said. He joins MSCD from the lliinois Board of Regents. Williams stressed the importance of an active faculty and urged them to become involved with

students and MSCD. "Teamwork is going to be the key to our success," Williams said. Dean of Letters, Arts and Sciences Larry Johnson discussed the goals of LAS in the coming year. Johnson said that LAS is the heart of MSCD since 56 percent of all credit hours are offered through LAS. Almost every student takes some type of LAS course during their academic career. "It's important that each one of those students gets the best education possible," Johnson said. The number one goal of the LAS is to ensure the quality of the educational experi-

ence for students, Johnson said. With that goal in mind, Johnson said that the faculty needs to do a better job of advising students on what the future holds for them. The second major goal Johnson discussed was to ensure the quality of the faculty. Johnson pointed out that students will get a good education only if there is a strong and supportive faculty. As a third goal, Johnson said that MSCD needs to maintain curriculum which is both current and relevant. He said that he hopes that MSCD can obtain grants to offer different types of courses and programs to better the students' education.

Lockyourselfoutofyourcar? Need directions or first aid? With a quick response time, a member of the Auraria Public Safety bicycle patrol can assist you in usually less than one minute. Wearing bright red shirts, these highly visible students ride around parking lots as well as throughout the campus. 1be bicycles are more accessible and can preve11t crimes that motor vehicle patrols cannot. Sgt. George Casias has been running the program for three years. He remembers a time when things didn't run so smoothly. Up until a couple months ago, the bicycles that the patrol was using were outdated. Monitors 1spent as much time fixing the bikes as they did patrolling. "They were almost always in a state of disrepair," said Casjas. Since then, three new 21-speed mountain bikes were donat.ed to the department tbroqgh TREK and The Bike Broker. Sean Schnell, a monitor for one year now, said there is DO comparison to the old bicycle be rode. The new bicycles are equipped better as well. All now contain first aid kits and have heavier tires and stronger frames. An average shift for a monitor would be about a 15-mile ride. Being on the bicycles allows monitors to patrol specific problem areas more often. What used to take 15 to 20 minutes on foot DOW takes about five. Ha crime should occur, monitors carry no weapons and are unauthorized to involve themselves in the situation. A radio call is made to the dispatcher who then sends a patrol car. Although they do not have the same role as an officer, their presence, Casias feels, is an important one. "Monitors serve as an extra set ofeyes and ears for the officer. It helps our job one-thousand fold if we can be more accessible to the public." It is this accessibility that also enhances Community Policing, a program started at APS. By the spring or summer of 1991, Casias hopes to have police officers on bicycles. Since they would be carrying weapons, their outfits would have to be much more than a red T-shirt. Bicycle policing might not work well outside a college campus, but Casias sees it as a positive measure at Auraria. "This is the perfect place to do it," he said.

Religion on dog tags comes into question Joel Alan Kleg Special to The Met

Reports that Jewish soldiers who are part of the U.S. troop deployment in Saudi Arabia are being directed to alter the religious designations on their dog tags have sparked a demand by the Anti-defamation League of B 'nai B 'rith that Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney clarify U.S. policy concerning Jewish troops in the Persian Gulf. In a letter to Cheney, AOL National Director Abraham H. Foxman said, "The order is undoubtedly well-intentioned .. . but it is imperative thatthe issue be presented in a manner that is not perceived as coercive." The Army has denied the reports. "No Army official has given orders to any soldier to change the religious designation on their dog tags," Army spokeswoman Capt. Barbara Goodno said. "It has been a matter of Army policy that soldiers make their own decision on religious preference." Col. Arthur Fine, Jewish chaplain at Fitzsimons Army Medical Center, said that he is not aware of any directives requiring Jewish soldiers to change the religious designation on their dog tags. "I hope, if it is true, it was done for their safety," Fine said. "Who knows what the Iraqis would do if they caught a soldier with 'Jewish' on his dog tags." The religious designation on dog tags is

not readily visible and should not present any problems, Fine said. Capt. James Ellison, Seventh-day Adventist chaplain at Fitzsimons, said that he hopes the reports are not true. "We wouldn't know what to do with a body (without dog tags)," Ellison said. "The dog tags are the only way to determine a soldier's burial wish." Mormon chaplain Maj. Nicholas A. Brown said, "For the safety of the soldier, if captured, it would perhaps be safer to take the religious designation off the dog tags." If there is any validity to the reports that Jewish soldiers are being asked to conceal their religious affiliations, it would not be the first time that U.S. soldiers have been ordered to do so. During Operation Bright Star, maneuvers conducted with Egyptian personnel in 1985, chaplains were ordered to cover up the religious insignia on their uniforms, said Ellison, who participated in the operation. Additional orders censoring Army movies and altering table manners were enforced during Operation Bright Star to accommodate Egyptian military personnel participating in the exercises. The orders were not well received by U.S. soldiers., Ellison said. An Army chaplain raised a chaplaincy flag in defiance of the orders, Fine said. "It is important for us to be identifiable," Brown said. "But safety reasons may be more important than being hard-nosed about

Dog tags such as these are used to identify U.S. soldiers.

it." Orders requiring U.S. troops to conceal their religious affiliations stems from the fact that "to Moslems, both Jews and Christians are infidels," Fine said. ""Our religious symbols are offensive to them." There are "no restrictions on religious services" for U.S. soldiers in Saudi Arabia, according to a Pentagon official quoted in the Aug. 24 issue of the "lntermountain

Jewish News." Jewish soldiers in Saudi Arabia will be able to observe the upcoming high-holiday services in private, according to Ellison. "Religion has always been a private matter in the Army." However, Brown said, "The U.S. is going to have to decide what price it is willing to pay for the Saudis' permission to operate on their soil." 0

Auraria Club Day offers choices Joel Lamoreaux The Metropolitan

cruitment day is not only a chance for students to find out what each club is about. but also for clubs to recruit members, Quayle said. In addition, a treasure hunt for students and a booth contest for the clubs is being planned, said Metro's Assistant Club Coordinator Mike Green. "A series of clues that the participants will have to solve will lead to prizes located in the area of the student Union," Green said. This will be associated with an open house for the student activities and student life offices, Green said. The hunt will require participants to enter the office area while solving their clues, getting them acquainted with where many of the groups are located, he said. An award will also be given to the club with the best display, Quayle said. Each club has been encouraged to create a colorful and visual display featuring what the club is all about, what it has accomplished and what its future activities include. "We feel that the group that comes up with the best display has made a strong commitment to its school and its members," Quayle said. Giving the award allows that group to be recognized for a job well done, he said. Quayle said refreshments would be provided throughout the event and will be provided by CU-D. In case of rain, it will be moved to inside the Student Union on the mezzanine, Quayle said.

Auraria students trying to decide which campus clubs to join may feel that they ' re trying to buy an ice cream cone at a parlor with 31 anonymous flavors - so many choices and no way to know which is best. However, on Wednesday, Sept. 12, students will have a chance to talk with members and view displays representing clubs from all three Auraria schools at the annual Club Recruitment Day. "In the past, it's been hard for students to find out what clubs they'd be interested in, because many clubs are located around the department they serve, and if students aren't in that department, it's hard for them to hear about the group's activities," said Ed Quayle, clubs coordinator for Metro. This year's event, taking place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the Student Union Plaza, should be the largest ever at Auraria, with between 50to60clubs in attendance, Quayle said. The event will feature the music of"Leslie Drayton and Fun," a Denver-based jazz band featuring trumpeter Leslie Drayton, who spent three years as Marvin Gaye's music director. The band will perform from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., also on the Student Union Plaza.

"What nobody is considering is that all the Kuwaiti money is in the United States," she said. "They don't invest in their country. The Kuwait Embassy is paying for people to live in the United States. And now all of the Americans are like, 'You Iraqis go back to Iraq.' We had nothing to do with it. And the people here in the United States, they know nothing about what is going on in Kuwait." She said most Americans don't know where the Middle East is and only care about paying higher prices for gas. "They don't care about the peopJe in the Middle East or their feelings," she said. Hussein had no other choice but to use the non-Arab hostages as human missile shields, she said, to prevent the United States from invading Iraq. But, she said, she believes the hostages are being treated well. The Iraqi student said she thinks the conflict should not be a yard- stick by which to measure friends.

"[ didn't invade Kuwait myself, so [ don't think it should be considered (in determining friendships)." Although Americans have not yet harassed her for being an Iraqi, she said that she understands their hostile feelings because their loved ones are being sent to Saudi Arabia. "I don't blame (Americans) because the (U.S.) government itself is not considering the people or the country," she said. " But, if it comes to harassment and phone calls, and if they beat me down the street, then [will do something about it, and I won't understand it."

Sometimes she avoids telling other students she is an Iraqi, she said, but it doesn't often come up in conversations. "In (a) class when we introduced ourselves J said I am a foreign student and nobody asked where I'm from ," she said. "They just wanted to know that l am not an American."

She said she particularly avoids telling students from Kuwait or other Arab countries where she is from " because now the problem is growing not only with Kuwaitis but with all of the countries in that region." She is afraid of Kuwaiti students, she said. "I do understand that they consider females as something special, but with all of the stuff in the news, any Iraqi would be their enemy no matter if they are male or female," she said. If tensions increase or fighting begins in the Middle East, she said, she would leave the United States. "When it comes to students from Arab

Practice interviews help open job market Cheryl Suazo The Metropolitan

Can participating in mock interviews increase a student' s chances of being hired by the employer of their choice or will common sense do the job? Some graduates said they were hired as a direct result of taking the time to do mock interviews while they attended classes at Auraria Campus. According to Ron Lujan, assistant director of the Office of Career Services, mock interviews and critiques have been offered free to students for about six years. On Sept. 12 and 13, Metropolitan State College of Denver's Accounting Honor Society and the University of Colorado at Denver' s Society of Accounting Students will sponsor mock interviews for accounting majors - seniors only. Students must submit resumes by Sept. 5. Representatives from about 15 accounting firms will interview students for 30 minutes and then critique their performances, Lujan said. In addition to national and local-level finns, several of those planning to interview students are "big six" accounting firms, international firms that work with Fortune 500 companies, he said. One of the benefits for students, Lujan . said, is that many of these finns will come back during the on-campus recruiting sea-

son this fall. "That allows the students to initiate contact with possible future employers," he said. Another benefit is preparing for openended questions, which are the most difficult to answer, he said. For example, the questions "What are your strengths and weaknesses?" "Tell me about yourself," and "Why do you want to work for our firm?" are often asked during job interviews. Many students who participated in past

'You study all the time to get your degree so why not take a few nights to study to get a job?'

mock interviews, praised the programs and said that preparing for such questions was a majorreason they bad successful interviews. Tammy Durnford, 26, a University of Northern Colorado graduate with a teaching certificate from CU-D, participated in the mock interviews held last spring for teaching jobs and was hired only one week later. She now teaches third grade at Cherrelyn Elementary School in Englewood. ''The mock interview helped me tremendously," Durnford said. Career Services gave

·MSCO Student .Health Center presents:

her a list of questions that might be asked, which included "Why do you want to be a teacher?" Durnford said she studied the list just as she would have studied for a test. "You study all the time to get your degree so why not take a few nights to study to get a job?" she said. Durnford said that one of the best tips she remembers was that recruiters and interviewers expect answers to have a beginning, a middle with two or three points, and a definite end, and if written they would each be about one paragraph in length. "I sat at my computer and wrote out my answers, and then I would practice with my husband," Durnford said. During her mock interview, she said, she knew the preparation had paid off when the interviewer blocked other recruiters from talking to her, showed her the benefit packet and explained the pay scale. Marni Pepper, 23, a Colorado State University graduate with an MSCD teaching certificate, also participated in a mock interview forteachingjobs. She now teaches fourth and fifth grades in the Cherry Creek School District. The feedback, Pepper said, helped her to feel more comfortable in laterjob interviews. To get the most out of the mock interviews, she said, students should treat them like real job interviews. Suzanne Sime, 29, an MSCD graduate and employee at the Denver accounting firm Yale & Seffinger, did a mock interview for accounting before she graduated in 1987. Sime said it gave her the chance to ask the

interviewer questions and to preview the firm, which allowed her to decide whether she liked the firm enough to pursue a job there. One of the tips Sime thought was helpful was doing "homework" before an interview to express an interest in the firm conducting the interview. "Students who have prior knowledge of the firm are looked upon more favorably than those who d~n't know anything about the firm," she said. Sime said the interviews she did after graduating were very similar to the mock interviews held on campus. "Any little help you can get"prior to going to a real interview is going to be to youc benefit," she said. Lujan said that Career Services is trying to coordinate mock interviews for engineering students to be held this fall. "We want the students to be able to give the firms concrete examples of their background and how it relates to the job they are applying for," Lujan said. The practice seems to make a major difference in how well the students are prepared to meet the needs of employers, he said. "We've actually had comments from firms saying, 'This is the person we're interested in,' so the students make an impact even in the mock interviews," he said. Students who wish to sign up for the accounting mock interviews should visit the Career Services offices Arts Building Room 177 or call Ron Lujan, at556-3477, for more information. 0

OP/ED Beach blankets: BINGO!

Moving experience or trip through hell? Dave Plank There's a reason you aren't supposed to pull trees up out of the ground and move them to a new place. If you do, they'll usually die. See, it's be.cause the tree doesn't like packing up all its stuff and putting it in the cars and trucks of its friends, then taking it somewhere else and getting it out of the cars and trucks and unpacking it. So the tree just dies instead, like I should have instead of moving last weekend. But as it is, there are some tips that I'd like to give you, before my memory fades and I forget what a sheer, unadulterated hell I've just been through. You can find out a lot about people when you watch them move. Some people turn the act of moving into a vulgar display of wealth and good taste, hiring gigantic trucks full of students to move their stuff for them, taking extra time walking from the truck to the house so all the neighbors can admire the investment of quality oriental vases and Louis XIV armchairs that are joining the neighborhood. If circumstances permit, this is the way to go. I would have done it, but I couldn't afford movers and I don't think that superhero Big Gulp cups and bean bag chairs would have sent my neighbors the right kind of message.

There are also people who spend weeks prior to the move carefully packing each and every item they own, wrapping everything breakable in newspaper or maybe that plastic stuff with the bubbles in it, and labeling boxes by where in the new house they need to go. This makes about as much sense as getting a haircut before you go skydiving. Sure, maybe everything will turn out okay and the effort won't be wasted, but why take chances? No matter how many times you write "fragile" on a box, somebody is going to try and pogo-stick their way into the house on it, and then all your hard work's gone, you anal-retentive loser. It's better to just pack stuff loosely into boxes and tell yourself that at least if your heirloom china soup tureen breaks, you won't have to move the son of a bitch next time. Then there's the really smart way to go, especially if you don't really care about anything you own. spread all your blankets out on the floor. Dump everything you have into the middle of them, bundle them up and go. You'll destroy 60 percent of everything you own, tops, and when you arrive at your final destination the neighbors will know you don't have anything worth stealing. The move will go a lot faster this way, not to mention the jiffy-quick snap unpacking what's left will be. The real wrinkle comes when you move in with someone else. Now not only do you have all your crap to contend with, but all the garbage someone else has

collected over the course of their life. You'll have two of everything, but don't toss any of it-you'll need all your stuff when the relationship goes sour and you leave in the middle of the day, while your former significant other is at work, so they'll be stuck with the remainder of the lease. This is also a good way to go because moving out while the other person's gone gives you the chance to pilfer anything of theirs you may have grown attached to while your relationship slowly dissolved away to an empty, lonely nightmare. Nobody said love was easy. It should also be obvious that if you haven'tcultivated a close friendship with someone who owns a truck, you need to. Even if you don't plan on moving right now, it can't hurt. And dropping by a truck owner's house with a bottle of scotch every once in a while will come in handy when they throw you out of your apartment building so they can'turn it into a parking lot, or you find out the concrete in the foundation of your house was made using uranium tailings instead of gravel. In the end, I guess, the most important advice to be given about moving is, of course, to not do it. Just don't. Because most people do it so rarely, they forget how much the whole affair smacks of gross self-abuse. Remember. Think about it. Think about it some more, and then reconsider your feelings about where you are now. And then, if you still feel you must, start spreading out blankets in the middle of the floor.

CORRECTIONS In the Aug. 24 issue of The Metropolitan, in the Tivoli 3rewery story on page 1, Jim Schoemer was incorectly called the out-going vice president for Adminstration at Metro. He is the out-going vice president for :i.dministration at AHEC.

Editor: Islam - in a word ... submissiveness. Submission to Mohammad (God), and a way of life, the way of life of many in the Middle East who are in the midst of a struggle. A struggle for land, oil, and power in an area that used to be the power center of the world. To the millions of Moselms that live in the region near Iraq, Mohammad is still the Savior, the Koran is the Law, and Saddam Hussien is the voice of God. He is a chance for them to return to the once Almighty Arab Kingdom. His call to arms is for what they believe as a righteous cause - to reclaim the lost Arab land, for a near total control of world oil, and the beginning of a return to what once was. But what a minute; life, Saddam, and life, fellow Moselms; isn't quite tha1 easy. We live in a new Age where might doesn't make right. We follow a world set of standards (United Nations), we strive for peace in what we hope to be a new era of worldwide understanding. Ruthless dictators are no longer allowed to take countries and upset the world in Fi (Hitler) Blitzkrieg fashion. For we, as Americans, will step in for the good of our Arab friends, the good and rights of the Kuwaiti's, and the Global economy. Yes, some things in the world change (the search for World Peace, end of the Cold War) and路 others remain the same - Americans will proudly stand up against barbaric warriors and end their reign of terror.

U.S. overextending self in Mid East crisis I

Last night I dreamed that unleaded gasoline was $7.99 a gallon. When I awoke, I was greeted by the bright and cheery words of Secretary of State James Baker. In an Associated Press wire article, Baker told Congress that economic effects of the Middle East crisis will go far beyond higher gas prices. According to the story, Baker spoke of the possibility of a recession "or even the darkness of a depression." Could it have been this new consciousness of· economic difficulties that prompted President Bush to go public with his request for forgiveness of Egypt's $7 billion IOU to the U.S.? In standard spoiled-brat fashion, Israeli Finance Minister Yitzhak Modai said that, if Egypt gets debt relief, Israel wants it too. If you give it to one, you have to give it to everyone. I supposed this $7 billion isn't that big a deal. Baker implied that Washington had given up on seeing the money again anyway. Bush has also implemented a discount insurance program for American companies who take their ships or planes to the Middle East so they don't have to pay exorbitant "war-risk insurance rates." Now there's a money saver. Hasn't anyone told Bush that there's a reason war-risk rates are higher? Meanwhile, "senior U.S. officials" are touring the globe in search of financial assistance from other countries. Up to this point, we can hardly convince themselves with the rest of the world and oppose the other governments that we'll do most of the work if Iraqis and Saddam Hussein. Now, Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev is implqrthey'll kick in some cash.

So, essentially, what we have is one big global mess. Upon the lap of every American is the biggest part of the mess. It is almost as if the U.S. had a round-trip ticket to an exotic locale, left on the two-week dream trip and, upon arrival, had no money for food or hotels. Thus, we embark, stumbling, on World Mess I. It would have been vastly more appropriate during Gerald Ford's presidency.

"At work, we have an integrated newsroom, but at the end of the day, I go back to my nice home while the blacks I work with return to a struggle area where only coloreds live." David C. Wightman, a journalist and managing editor for ''The Dai ly News"' in Durban, South Africa, explained the realities of daily life to an MSCD advanced reporting class Aug. 30. Wightman, an anglo of English descent, is visiting the United States under the auspices of the U.S. Information Agency. Wightman outlined how strides toward integration are being taken in his country under the leadership of F.W. de Klerk, but he was quick to point out just how far off equality between the races really is. "In the main cities, we have huge squatter societies set up. These places do not have even the basics of paved roads and electricity," Wightman said. Ac know !edging a huge lapse in the quality of educational opportunities available to blacks, Wightman stated that South African universities " are pretty much integrated now, but a lot of young blacks are very disenchanted." Because of government repress ion, Wightman said that young students of the last decade took up the slogan of " liberation before education," and they spent more time in demonstration than in studying, hurting their chances for advancement in the order that is taking hold today. "F.W. de Klerk did something momentous by un-banning the African National Congress, by freeing Nelso n Mandela and by trying for a more democratic society,'' Wightman said. "He showed very clearly that his predecessors have been racists." When asked how long it will take for the white community to accept parity among the races, Wightman was blunt: "South Africa will need a generation for

people's attitudes to change. And what people must realize is that a lot of the white community is riddled with guilt about how the coloreds in the country have been treated." Not only is there dissent among the whites on how to restructure South Africa, according to Wightman , whose newspaper is directed mainly at a black readership, but the two large black populations of Xhosa and Zulu have diametric differences as well. .. Both the Xhosa community, with which Mandela is associated, and the Zulu community wa nt th e e nd o f apar theid," Wightman said. " But the Xhosa, which make up a large portion of the ANC, are looking for a socialistic society. The Zulu, on the other hand, are interested in a more freemarket economy." According to Wightman, there are sev;ral immense hurdles to pass before a new South African constitution can be written. The Group Areas Act is of major concern, h~ said. This is a main tenant of South African society that requires people to live in segregated areas. Another major stumbling block, Wightman said, are the race classification rules. These require that each child born be put ipto a racial classification of either black, white, Asian or colored - meaning anyone of mixed racial background. "The writing of a new constitution also worries me because rules governing the press could be written in," Wightman said. "Lack of government suppression of the press is now better without P.W. Botha in charge," he stated. "We had to be very cagey about putting the real news between the lines of stories before. I had books literally six inches thick with rules for checking and censoring stories. It was a nightmare- it was madness." Still, Wightman is glad to be living in South Africa. "It' s a wonderful time to be there," he said. "There are so many changes. For all its troubles, it' s an exciting place to be now." 0

The rock and is just a memory from college days at he University of Colorado, but it is an xperience he occasionally draws on in his urrent job as columnist for the "Rocky ountain News." , A recent story opportunity presented itlfwhen Marvin "Henchi" Graves, former mber of the lively 60s and 70s dance d, "Freddi-Henchi and the Soul Setters," ound himself in jail on drug charges.

An Englishman asks his wife matter-offactly, "ls your lover coming today?" She answers, "Mmmhm." The husband agrees not to return before sundown and admits that he is spending his afternoons seeing a whore. "The Lover" by Harold Pinter, produced by Second Stage Theatre Co., is one of the single act plays opening the season at the University of Colorado at Denver. T his opening scene leads any spectatorto wonder what married couple would tolerate such infidelity in a partner. But once the story continues, the audience learns that the wife (Sarah) and the whore are the same person played by Martha Harmon Pardee. In tum, the husband (Richard) and "the lover" are portrayed by Scott McKinstry. Richard and Sarah are saving their dull marriage by "pretending" that the other is having an affair. Sarah has become tired of her business-suit husband Richard and is more aroused by her lover, who dresses more rugged with rolled up sleeves, and tells her how attractive she is. Whereas Richard can reach all of his deepest fantasies by visiting his whore, dressed in red high heels and a tight camisole.

MSCD women's basketball coach hired Dale Shrull Sports Editor The search for a new head women 's basketball coach at MSCD has officially come to an end with the announcement that Darryl Smith will take over the controls for the 1990-91 season. According to MSCD director of athletics, William Helman, Smith comes to MSCD from California State at San Bernardino where he was an assistant women's basketball coach. With Smith's help, CSB amassed a record of 24-4 and finished third

at the Western Regional NCAA Division III tournament last year. Smith will be taking over a team that had a record of 1-27 in 1988-89 and 11-16 last season. Smith will replace CindyGuthals who was the head coach last season. Prior to CSB, Smith gained most of his coaching experience in Montana at the high school level. Smith compiled a 45-27 record while he was the head women's basketball coach at Bozeman High School in Bozeman, Mont., from 1986-89. "(Smith) has the experience and background to be a good NCAA Division II women's basketball coach," Helman said.

Majoring in physical education, Smith received his bachelor' s of science degree in 1981 from the College of Great Falls, located in Montana. When Darryl Smith arrives on the MSCD campus Sept. 4, instead of keeping up with the Joneses, he may find himself trying to keep up with the Smith's in the athletic department. With the addition of Darryl, MSCD athletic department now has three Smith's. Greg Smith is the assistant director of athletics for sports information and Joel Smith is the assistant director of athletics for business and eligibility. None of the Smiths are related. 0

BRIEFS Sports info department hires ex-MSCD slugger

Metropolitan State College of Denver has hired one its former student athletes as the assistant sports informatio~ director, according to William Helman, MSCD directon of athletics. Doug Montgomery graduated from MSCD in 1990 with a bachelor of .science degree in criminal justice. Montgomery was also a four-year letterman for the MSCD baseball team. His 32 home runs were a, school record before Rusty Befus broke the record last year. Montgomery comes to MSCD from the Denver Zephyrs, where he worked as public relations director. 'This is a tremendous opportunity for me and I can't wait to get started," Montgomery said. One reason for the move was that the Zephyrs cut Montgomery's work schedule from 12 months a year to only nine. Mont. gomery said the schedule change forced him to find work the remaining three months of the year. "I'm looking forward to working for my alma mater and giving something back to the school," Montgomery said.

their season this weekend. On Friday, Sept. 7 they will take the field against University ofColorado-ColoradoSpringsontheAuraria Field at 4 p.m. On Saturday, Sept. 8 the Roadrunners will travel across town to play the University of Denver at 4 p.m. Coach Dennis Daly also announced that the team selected seniors Tim Yunger, Kent Nelke and David Hood as tri"-captains for the season.

Hines, from Petaluma, Calif., is the team's outside bitter and Inglee, a two-year s~ from Wheat Ridge, plays the middle block position.

End Zone or Twilight Zone? Dale Shrull Sports Editor

Football fans have just exited a dimension where sight and sound meet, a dimension where reality is often difficult to recognize. . This is a time of year when Denver Broncos fans have worked themselves into a frenzied state of excitement and optimism. The dimension that just ended was the NFL exhibition season. A time of year that statistics or wins and losses fail to matter as they dissolve into the unknown. A time of year where losses have numerous excuses: John Elway played only the first half, the need to experiment with new players and situations, third- and forth-team players. The excuses are endless and, strangely enough, accepted. One thing that must be remembered is that it's only exhibition season. A time where answers aren't given, only more questions are asked. Questions like: will Elway and the new Broncos offense continue to shred opposing defenses when the regular season starts? Or did the offense look great just because the defenses weren't playing with 100 percent of their defensive schemes in place? Or were the defenses intermingled with second-, third- and forth-team players? Will the defense continue to get pressure on oppos~ng quarterbacks when the real season begins? Will Dennis Smith, Steve Atwater and rookie Alton Montgomery s~e fear into the hearts of receivers just when they thought it was safe to go into the secondary again? Football fans use the exhibition season to give themselves an unrealistic view of the upcoming regular . season. Just because Elway riddled defenses with pin-point passes, just because Dan Reeves, bless his heart, said Elway had his best training camp

of his career, just because Gerald Perry hasn't held anything except his breath while putting on his pants, do~sn ' t mean a thing. Exhibition games don't count. So many questions; however, the answers must wait. The exhibition season is a very exciting time of year. It's a time of year when speculation, doubts and high hopes run rampant. The fans are missing a great opportunity to relax. The exhibition season is a time when a "who cares" attitude should be taken. So what if John Elway throws an interception, or Melvin Bratton hands a game to the San Francisco 49ers? Fans should relax and enjoy the exhibition season. There will be enough time during the regular season to push you blood pressure to the boiling point. Why put the unneeded stress upon yourself? Save it for the regular season when I'm sure there will be an abundance of stressful situations. The so-called experts and fans alike make predictions and forecasts about the upcoming season. Some use the exhibition season to formulate their opinions. However, all this time of year does js lead to senseless debate. No one has the answers. The answers will come on the field, when the games count. Some of the answers won't be good for Bronco fans. Now that we 're perched on the eve of the 1990 regular season, every team is a contender, every team is tied. Every team and every fan has expectations as big as Eric Dickerson's ego. All the questions will be answered as the season slowly progresses. Each week there will be new questions asked and they will be answered during and after the game. After three recent Super Bowl debacles, the one question about the Broncos that really matters still lingers: will the Broncos ever win a world championship? On Sunday the Broncos begin another

journey toward that elusive prize. They begin the 1990 season appropriately enough agall)st the last AFC team to win a Super Bowl, the hated Los Angeles--or should we just call them the California-Radiers. The Denver Broncos are a good team, a good AFC team. Trips to the Super Bowl in three of the last four seasons answer that question. But are they a good enough team to beat an NFC team in the Super Bowl? We' II see. Can they even reach the big game again? In a sport where so few teams even get a chance to play in a Super Bowl, have the Broncos missed their chance? We'll see. The Broncos will start with the Raiders on Sunday, where and when their season ends will be answered when it ends. Broncos fans might not like the answer. But maybe they will. So as the 1990 regular season begins, the Broncos will hope for many trips to the end zone , and hope to avoid another trip into the Twilight Zone. O

Women's soccer team not kicking themselves over tie Dianne Fujiwara The Metropolitan "Navy blue and Columbia blue" are listed as the official colors of the MSCD women's soccer team , but black and any color blue would probably be more apprQpriate for a team that is struggling with injuries. With four players missing, the Roadrunners were, nevertheless, able to hang on in double overtime to tie Western Washington University 1-1 in the Sept. 1 season opener on the Auraria Field. "Because of the injury factor, we were a little ragged," said Ed Montojo, the 'Runners head coach, "but it's to be expected in the first game." MSCD' s only goal came early in the first half on passes from junior Stephanie Price and · senior forward Monica Wenston to

Bridgette Leisure, who was in a crowd of defenders in front of Western Washington 's goal. Leisure is a returning junior, and one of the team leaders in scoring. Western Washington scored late in the game off a comer kick, forcing the overtime. Montojo said he was "extremely happy" with the 'Runners effort - especially with the play of the team's young defenders, which include four freshmen. One of those defenders, Renee Richie. a five-foot-four-inch freshman from Arvada, was a standout in her first collegiate game, he said. While he was pleased with the team's overall performance, Montojo said the women need to work on their timing and on their "game fitness - being physically fit." MSCD's next two games are Sept. 8 and 9 at the Northeast Missouri Tourney in Kirksville. 0

, Preview tourney nets high hopes Kimberly Palmer The Metropolitan

The MSCD women's volleyball team had a chance to sharpen its skills at the Colorado Collegiate Preview tournament

last weekend at the University of Denver. Ranked 14th in the NCAA Division II, the Roadrunners took second in the tournament, battling eight teams from around the state, including the University of Northern Colorado, Regis College, Western State College andUniversity of Denver. Regis won the tournament. MSCD coach Rhonda McMullen said

that, while the tournament didn't count on the record, it does count for pride. "Everyone played really tough," she said. "And we're not the same team that we were in the past- yet. We have the potential and we have the talent. Now we need the experience." Jennifer Drees, a junior transfer from Montana Tech with All-American honors,
