Mere, cafeteria healthratings decline ,Carolyn Bauer The Metropolitan

The Auraria cafeteria earned a mediocre review on its latest health department inspection and The Mercantile restaurant has had multiple customer complaints filed against it in the last year according to Denver Environmental Health reports. The cafeteria scored a 76 during a Sept. 26 inspection, down 24 percent from a similar inspection in 1988 when the cafeteria received a 100 rating. Critical items requiring immediate action, according to Inspector Don Peluso's report, included food protection, workers' hand hygiene, sanitization of equipment and storage of necessary toxic items. "If they can get a mid-80s or above, the restaurant is generally a good operation." Richard C. Hann, sanitation supervisor for the city and county of Denver said. "Establishments usually start out with high marks, then drop as time goes on." The cafeteria has averaged in the high

80s over its last four inspections, but has been repeatedly cited for instances of inadequate food protection and storage of toxic items. "I think each time it has been something different like a warmer door needing adjustment," Tom Roarick, Food Service director said. "Last inspection done was with the head of the health department and they indicated to me that they are happy with the operation," he added. The Larimer St. Mission has earned an average rating of 92 and is inspected every 150 days. At The Mercantile, there have been four food poisoning complaints logged by the Denver Environmental Health Service this year. In a report made to the health service, a customer complained that there was a cleaning chemical in the lemonade dispenser in place of the lemonade. According to the complaint, the complainant had vapors in the mouth, paramedics were called and the complainant was taken to the hospital. Hann said the matter may now be in litigation. "That was before I got here," Mercantile

manager Colin Thompson-said. "On Saturday mornings we clean the tea and lemon-ade machines with bleach to sanitize it. As I understand it, there was a sign on the whole thing saying 'don't use it.' I hear a person came in and ignored the sign- actually moved the sign off the spigot and drank it." On the food poisoning complaints, Thompson said that the health inspector came in and decided there wasn't food poisoning. He couldn't find any violations and The Mercantile passed inspection, Thompson said. Hann said the Mercantile is on a 90-day re-inspection schedule. "The only time they know we are coming is if there is a gross violation and we do.a quick follow-up inspection," Hann said. "The problem with college inspections is that new managers will tell us they are a state entity and they feel they aren't answerable to us. We come up against a 'get lost ' attitude. They're wrong."

The Auraria Book Center may be dealing in stolen merchandise. Two student employees at the Auraria Book Center, who prefer to remain anonymous for fear of losing their jobs, said that Gretchen Minney, directorofthe book store, told them to purchase all books despite their suspicions that they might be stolen. "As far as requiring students to buy back books whether or not they're stolen, that's simply untrue," Minney said. "We'll buv hack books fro1 ~l.fil&l2m1t _, anyone, ' said Barbara Lutes, assistant manager of the textbook department at the book store. "We're trying to encourage students to sell back books." The two employees talked to Minney about their concerns but were not able to get a response. 路路we buy back all books as long as they' re not stolen," Minney said. "We don't really do a thorough check on the people," she added. "You know (some) people who come in to sell books aren't students, because they 're older, they don't have backpacks, and they come in at 10 in the morning smelling like booze," an employee said. This employee has talked to staff at Auraria Public Safety about the situation, however they say that there is nothing they can do. "They haven't interrogated anybody, because nobody had made any charges against anybody," the book store employee said. "We didn't want to discriminate against people," Lutes said. APS Officer Bill Bowles said people attempt to sell back stolen books throughout the year. "It's one of the biggest problems here on campus," he said. There was a specific case during the spring and summer semesters that aroused the suspicions of the book center. Minney said it was an isolated case. "We took all the information we could get: bought the books and took them to (Auraria) public safety as evidence,'' Minney said. "Before summer, they would come in once or twice a week, then they路 d go away for weeks at a time," an employee said. The seller could make up to $100 per visit to the bookstore.

THE TRUSTEES OF THE STATE COLLEGES HAVE DEVELOPED THE FOLLOWING VISION STATEMENT, AND HAVE REQUESTED AN ALL CAMPUS HEARING. TOWARD ASECOND CENTURY OF EXCELLENCE: VISION STATEMENT OF THE STATE COLLEGES IN COLORADO The Boord oflrustees of the State Colleges in Colorado is the governing board for Adams State College, Mesa State College, Metropolitan State College of Denver, and Western State College. Its history, which began in 1898 with o designation os the Trustees of State Normal Schools, records three consistent goals: • To provide outstanding teaching in four distinctive institutions with diverse student populations • To confer Boord and campus leadership that connects educational issues with the future of Colorado and the communities in which the institutions ore located • To assure to the people of Colorado, the most effedive utilization of human and financial resources As the State Colleges enter their second century o_fleadership and service to Colorado, the Boord of Trustees reaffirms its commitment to these historic goals and to the values which drive them. Recognizing that each of the colleges hos asingular role to play in osystem committed to exceUence in teaching, the Boord ofTrustees provides the diredion, incentives and resources to empower its faculty, students and staff.

VALUES 1\e State Coltges system ..st be we .._ a nm of its pens. The diversity of institutions is the inherent strength of the system and the Board is co11111itted to asystem of governance which assures substantial autonomy at each of its colleges. At the some time, it is the responsibility of the Boord of Trustees to articulate and promote system-wide priorities and responsibilities and to represent their taxpaying investors by assuring accountability, excellence and access. The foundation of trustee leadership is to mobdize consensus and commitment to basic purposes and goals of the system, and then to advocate effective for the Colleges. Excellenc:e ill teaching is the raison d'etre of the State College system. The State Colleges focus their resources in order to do well those things which ore central to their teaching mission and which benefit students. Acollege campus is, above all, a place where the commitment to learning is central. Excellence is sustained by the rigor and relevancy of the curriculum, by promoting and rewording excellent teaching and by continual~ assessing the degree to which student learning is toking place. EducatiOllal excellence is •asured by the degree to which the Colleges add value to their students, faculty and staff. The State Colleges ore in the humon development business. All students should hove access to the academic support services necessary for their intellectual development. Likewise, support for faculty and staff development is imperative so that those who serve students con continue to hone their skilk and experience professional growth. Abasic tenet of the State Colleges is the importance of estab&shing a sense of community and shared values on each of its campuses. The comp uses should be live~ learning communities where meaningful extracurricular and community experiences abound and ore linked to what goes on in the classroom. Faculty, staff and students must be engaged in activities which bond them to one another and to their shored ethos. Collegiality among all members of the academic community is strengthened when decision making is preceded by open, honest and responsible dialogue. Atrue leaming community is only possible where respect for diversity thrives. Diversity of ideas, opinions and people is acornerstone of excellence. The academicenterprise is always enhanced when faculty, staff and students ore encouraged to explore values and ideas, and ore exposed to various cultures. The fulfillment of this principle demands on aggressive commitment to recruit and retain a faculty, staff and student body which is pluralistic and multicultural. The State Colleges are partners with the state of Colorado and their local communities. As publicinstitutions, the Colleges hove a special responsibility to help develop and sustain economic and cultural vitality of the larger society. The Colleges will promote programs and facilities that enrich the cultural experience of area residents and nourish state and regiOJ1ol economic development. The Trustees are committed to a cooperative, sharing model of governance. Through interinstitutionol efforts for progrom shoring, faculty development, student exchange and resource improvement, the State Colleges will maximize access, reduce unnecessary program and administrative duplication, and focus their resources on those activities which enhance quality.

T-shirts with slogans such as, "A woman's place is in the House and the Senate," and "CHOICE, CHOICE, CHOICE," for abortion rights. The conference began with five women on a multi-racial key-note panel who told how they overcame personal and career obstacles. The women were Stella Lopez, a secretary; Helen Stribling, a retired military pay technician at Lowry Air Force Base; Linda Manchego, a victim's advocate in Northglenn and Thornton; and Florence Miyahara, a pediatrician. An emotional moment during the conference was when Lopez, 37, an employee of Veterans Hospital, told about her struggle to become a self-sufficient, head-ofhousehold single parent. Lopez said she was brought up in extreme poverty with an alcoholic father, and later married an alcoholic who began beating her when they were newlyweds. Lopez said she separated from her husband when she realized her young daughter was being adversely affected. Later she signed up for secretarial courses at a vocational school despite a male counselor who told her she wasn't secretary

material. "I have a whip hanging on my office wall," Lopez said and laughed. "It's for men who get smart with me." However, at one point, Lopez began to cry, but the audience shouted encouraging words and applauded until she was able to continue, and when she finished her story she got a standing ovation. 1 After the key-note panel, the workshops began and included the Mystery ofFunding Social Change, How to Use Money - To Empower Women, Communications - Solving Conflicts, Knowing Your Legal Rights, Effective Lobbying, Helping Our Daughters Make Decisions in the '90s, Organizing Your Neighborhood or Your Issue, and the Federal Budget - How Military Priorities Affect Human Needs in Colorado. After the workshops, Heath, the only female Democrat in America running for the U.S. Senate, spoke about women's agenda items including improved education, health care: child care, access to jobs with equal pay and a healthy environment. Heath said that the reason women's agenda items haven't

moved up on the government's priority list for the past 10 to 15 years isn't because the items are wrong but because the wrong people are leading state and federal governments. "We women need role models in government," Heath said. "I need your votes, your volunteer work, and your money." In September, Heath' s opponent, Rep. Hank Brown, R-Colo., out-spent her on television spots $20 to $1, she said. The Colorado Women's Agenda promotes achieving security for women and families by changing national priorities from "militarization" to basic human needs. Neighborhood Women is an organization dedicated to fighting "female poverty" and empowering neighborhood women leaders. The conference was sponsored by more than 37 local women's organizations, businesses and individuals including MSCD's Institute for Women's Studies and Services, the Colorado affiliate of the National Abortion Rights Action League, National Organization of Women chapters, and the Denver League of Women Voters.Q

a period of two weeks. The study also found that 18 percent of MSCD students drank at least three times a week and 40 percent drove under the influence of alcohol at least once during the last year. Only 12 percent of the students surveyed believed they had a problem with their alcohol use. A Controlled Drinking Seminar on Sept. 25 failed to attract one person, but the seminar's mediator remained, stressing a different approach to drinking problems.

Michael Faragher, associate professor for the department of human services, stayed for the scheduled hour from noon to I p.m. in Room 230 A and B in the Student Union. Faragher doesn't believe research that claims alcoholism is a hereditary disease, a disease passed from one generation to another in a single gene. Faragher said a person who consumes alcohol in excess or regularly is not an alcoholic. According to Faragher, society has

made those people think they are alcoholic. The majority of people who are addicted to alcohol are actually just using the beverage to make them feel better, he said. Either they are depressed, unhappy, or lonely and alcohol erases the emotion temporarily. "They drink because they're in a lot of pain," Faragher said, and if people dido 't consume alcohol, they would use some other drug. "They go from one addiction to another," be said.

Auraria board slams amendment 1 Kristi James The Metropolitan

The Auraria Board of Directors unanimously passed a resolution Oct. 8 urging the defeat of Amendment 1, known as the "taxpayer's bill of rights." The board determined that the amendment has the potential for causing serious harm to the Colorado economy and would place constraints on higher education. The proposed tax limitation amendment to the state constitution would require voter approval for highertax rates and fee increases above inflation or more than one dollar. Betty Miller, chair of the board, said, "I am strongly opposed to it. I am a believer in representative government. We elect repre-

sentatives to make the hard decisions for us." If the amendment passes it would affect the overall funding ability of the state, and student aid will suffer, Miller said. "There is no question in my mind we would lose funds." Miller said. Clyde Har.kins, treasurer of the Tabor Committee, which designed Amendment 1, said, "This bill will protect students from exorbitant fee increases. Taxes have been going up about 10 percent a year, so they double in roughly six years." In a recent 9 Newsf'Rocky Mountain News" poll, 62 percent of those surveyed favored Amendment 1. Colorado voters had seven opportunities between 1966 and 1988 to place restrictions on state and local government funding. Each time the proposed amendment was defeated.

In 1988, Amendment 6, a similar proposal to the current bill, was defeated 57 percent to 43 percent. Har.kins said this is a moderate amendment. " We are not against government but our question is why is it costing so much.." Har.kins said that the 1988 election was a stepping stone and that the recent savings and loan scandals might have some effect. Amendment 1 would require state-wide approval for increases in tuition and student fees at universities and colleges. Approval also would be needed for funding renovations, maintenance and construction of new buildings. Geri Reinardy, assistant to the executive director of the Colorado Commission on· Higher Education, said that Amendment 1 will severely impact higher education. The proposed amendment will place a

cap on the amount of increase to the state general fund. This fund appropriates money to colleges and universities, Reinardy said. ·rr the state funding is limited and administrators seek to increase tuition, a public vote would be necessary. Elizabeth Friot, faculty representative to the board, said, "The citizens of Colorado are not fully informed on this issue. I think it would create ~ lot of problems for higher education." Friot added that a decrease in state funding would affect the faculty salary rates which are already far below the national average. Har.kins said that the state must learn to live on a budget. "It is dangerous for citizens to have this high a degree of disillusionment with the government," he said. If passed on Nov. 6, the amendment would take effect Dec. 31. Q

Racial issues discussed heatedly in spontaneous campus sidewalk debate Met Staff

Believe it or not, apathy is not so very healthy on college campuses, at least not at Auraria. Dozens of stuqents, crowded on the walkway in front of the Library, discussed racial disparities, greed, government and misplaced ideals for more than three hours on Friday, Oct. 5, while a video camera recorded the action. "We actually started talking about condoms," camera man David Thibodeau said. The debate was lead by Eric Green. "I just grabbed him out of the cafeteria and asked him if he'd like to have a debate," Thibodeau said. The focal point of the sidewalk debate was the discourse among Green, Walter Apodaca and Garrett Thomas. Thomas held the view that white people in society are holding down the blacks and that blacks must disassociate themselves. Apodaca and Green argued that all races and all blends of races can live together without oppressing anyone, provided they are willing, and that we are all Americans

Green regains peace while Thibodeau, right, captures hon tape.

"Money has become God In this country," Thomas said.

"That's the problem - it's not black or white, it's money," Green said.

books can be picked up at any time and sold back," she said. "If students report stolen books, then we know if a stolen book comes through, then we confiscate them." APS alerts the book center when books are reported stolen from places s~ch as the library. Titles and any markings such as highlighting or names written into the book are used to identify them.

The books tha.t the buyers have come acrosi are either new 1990 editions, or books tha are not matched with a course. The booki not being used would then be bought a wholesale prices. There was some speculation that these booki were stolen from Auraria's warehouse.

regardless of race. Thomas asserted that he was not American, rather African and that he would prefer to be in Africa and be with his brothers. Green said Africans would not call him brother because they would recognize him as American. Others in the crowd said the modem white people owe reparations to modem blacks for the slavery practices of pre-Civil War Americans. "I'm Native American. All of you owe me 500 years back rent,'' one woman said. Green referred to scholarships as a type of reparation, and stressed the importance of education for any people who wished to better themselves. Green and Apodaca steered the conversation toward the government and "rich people" saying they wanted to prevent bale ks and Hispanics from voting so that the rich got richer. "Common person/rich person. That's the only division." Apodaca said. "The government is wrong," Green said. "We've got to come together. Equality is liberation,'' Apodaca said. "Are you ready for the '90s? That's going to be a human 0 rights movement."

In order to earn credit, the student must reregister for and pay for the course in a subsequent term. The Incomplete (I) notation may be assigned when a student was unable to take· the final examination and/or did not complete all of her/his out-of-class assignments due to unusual circumstances such as hospitalization. Incomplete work denoted by the I notation must be completed within one calendar year or earlier, at the discretion of the faculty member. If the incomplete work is not completed within one calendar year, the I notation will change to an F. A student may not be awarded a degree with an Incomplete (I) on the MSCD academic record.

It may not be big, but it sure looks good; the bicycle patrol on the Auraria Campus that is. Recently students may have noticed brilliant red shirts, khaki shorts, white tennis shoes, and white mountain bikes used to patrol the campus. Though the program began three years ago by a student at Metro, it is just now becoming visible to the student body. Auraria Public Safety has 10 student monitors on staff to patrol the campus. Each of the monitors is in constant communication with the dispatch office according to Sgt. Jim Ferguson of APS. Ferguson said the new uniforms were used to make the patrol more noticeable and to increase students' awareness of the program. Ferguson said there hasn't been a marked decrease in crime. He did say, however, that with any increase in patrol vi~ibility, there is a decrease in crime. Naturally Metro isn't the only college with such a program. The University of Colorado at Boulder also has a bicycle patrol which is staffed by student monitors. CU's program began in the late 1970s. The program at Boulder is slightly different than Auraria' sin that student monitors issue tickets to students who fail to dismount thier

bikes in specified zones. A dismount offense costs the student $15. Diana Wilson, who works with the program in Boulder, said that monitors also issue bicycle parking violations costing students $8. The program in Boulder also differs in the uniform that the monitors must wear. In Boulder, monitors are expected to wear a white shirt, khaki shorts, and a burgundy vest. Currently at Auraria there are no provisions for monitors to issue violations to students. Ferguson said that student monitors will have more control over parking violations and dismount violations when the program is fully in place. Ferguson said that, in the future, Auraria might even see full-fledged patrol officers patrolling on bicycles in addition to the vehicles already in use. In order to become a student patrol monitor, the student must fill out an application at the beginning of the semester. This is true for most college patrol programs. After some checking into the applicant's background, the student is considered for hiring. Auraria offers four-hour shifts which students fill according to need. Ferguson said it is possibleforamonitorto be alone on a shift at 11 p.m. Ferguson also said the department does not discriminate between the sexes. "The student is a set of eyes and ears for the police patrol," Ferguson said. 0

Study-crazed students find diversion in Student Union Kimberly Palmer

The Metropolitan

They stared intently at the cards in front of them - eyes darting below furrowed brows; all four pl~yers were engrossed in the moment. In the iniddle of the crowded, buzzing Auraria Student Union was a table where biology books, half-eaten sandwiches and a plastic cup with a bit of Copenhagen chew spit in it had been carelessly tossed aside. A mean game of gin rummy was in progress. Now was not the time for neatness or methodical studying- now was the time to hang loose. "I'm so burned out already, and it's only the second month of school," said junior Jennie Scott. "Playing cards helps to break things up." Stroll through the Union and you'll see all sorts of diversions - it's definitely not the place for hard-core study bugs. This place offers everything from billiards to video games to out-of-the-way corners to just kick back. At any given time, the TV room is home to soap opera fans and game-show junkies or those who are trying to catch up on a bit of sleep (they say those chairs are mighty comfortable). Downstairs, The Mission offers food, beer and loud music; rarely will you find an open book. On Thursdays, The Mission plays host to an amateur comedy show, inviting the students to show off their standup routines. "We come out on Thursday~to hassle the comedians," said one student who asked to remain unknown. "I give 'em credit for going up there, but some of these people are really bad." If comedy and libations and diving into a pizza aren't your thing, perhaps delving into a heated discussion on the existence of God will satisfy your appetite. The Union offers this as well as arguments on any various number of topics. Senior Joel Hollander occasionally tries to get work done at the Student Union, but admits it's a futile attempt at best. "I'll put my Walkman on with a

Beethoven tape in it, and really try to concentrate," he said. "But the next thing I know, someone will sit down and we'll get to talking and I won't get anything done." And what do they talk about? It could very well be women. Just as the women talk about the guys. The Union is a great place to pick a date for the weekend. It's not unusual to see a guy approach a table and ask the pretty young thing sitting there - "is this seat taken?" It's as easy as yelling "SINGLE!" in line at the ski lift when that good-looking man skates past. While the Student Union is a great place to get away from the studies, there is a part of it that has succumbed to academia. Upstairs, tucked away in the back, behind closed doors, so as not to scare off any would-be loafers, are the conference rooms, waiting for guest speakers and important dignitaries to adorn their lecterns. But we don't talk about that. Nor will we make much mention of The Book Source, where students are found threedeep in check-out lines at the beginning of the semester, bogged down with textbooks and highlighters, praying out loud that they won'thave to come back until that wonderful day at the end of the semester: BOOK BUYBACK. It's much easier to look down the hall to the Convenience Store, home of pennycandy, birthday cards and smutty magazines. And directly across the hall from there are the merchants- silverjewelry, baggy pants, hair baubles - it's all there. The area just outside the Union bas a magic and appeal it}l of its own. Dubbed "Metro Beach," it's home to sunbather wanna-bes and worshippers of the golden god. It's not unusual to find an evangelist or two, singing the praises of the Lord and ail the while damning the students to hell because they're in school instead of church. There's something for everyone who wants to do anything but get down to the serious business of studying. First-year students - who have yet to understand that the tables are for gameplaying and socializing, not eating and studying - look confused as they walk by. But it's only a matter of time before they, too, will come to school with a deck of cards in lieu of their biology books . 0

International p'ot iuck mixes more than food Joel Lamoreaux The Metropolitan

I was a lucky winner. Fortune must have smiled upon me the day I heard I would be talcing a free trip around the world, visiting countries such as Africa, Saudi Arabia, India, Germany, Denmark and Japan. I must admit I was a bit nervous as I prepared for my trip, but once I embarked, the excitement of visiiing these various cultures completely overpowered the tension I had previously felt.

'The idea is to build interest, friendship and understanding.'

The trip raced by, and I wish it could have lasted longer than just two and a half hours, but then, what could I expect, I never left Auraria Campus. On the evening of Oct. 4, about 50 or 60 people, including myself, attended the International Pot Luck at the St. Francis In-

terfaith Center. The event was sponsored by the Auraria Transnational Student Association and gave students with limited income and time the chance to meet and talk with people from different cultures. Those in attendance dressed in the traditional clothing of their respective cultures and brought food which might be enjoyed on a typical day in their country. Praveen Noojibail, who is from India and vice presidentoftheATSA, said the pot luck was aimed at bringing students from all countries together, allowing them to meet each other. "The idea ~s to build interest, friendship and understanding," said Noojibail, who is working on his master's degree at the University of Colorado at Denver. The food on the international dining table ranged from chips and salsa to Kurma, a dish from India made with beans, cabbage, peppers, tomatoes, red chili power, chat spices, ginger and dried mango power. Serge Geussan, who grew up around the Ivory Coast in Africa, brought an item made in his country called Ko-kwe-ja-pu, whose main ingredients are peanut butter and chicken. Geussan, who is president of ATSA and a master's student at CU-D, said very little is written down in Africa and that it is normal practice that, after a good meal, the members of bis tribe sit down to talk and tell stories.

BIGMUL, BIGGER DEAL.

"After eating, the chief would initiate a topic so that we had something to talk about," Geussan said. Geussan initiated the after-dinner discussion by bringing up the environment and then allowing students to come to the podium and express their concerns on this and other topics.

'This allows me to meet people from other campuses in Denver and to get to know students from other countries.'

Quickly, however, small groups began to form and a variety of subjects were discussed such as the reunification in Germany, the economy in the Soviet Union and recycling in the United States. One such group included Thomas van der Haar, a student from the University of Denver working on his doctorate in Physics. Van der Haar came to the pot luck to get in contact with people from other countries. "At DU, there are quite a lot of foreign students, but no one has time - they have a lot to do," he said. "This allows me to meet people from other campuses in Denver and

to get to know students from other countries." While van der Haar likes the climate and the mountains in Colorado, some things about life in America take some getting used to, he said, such as how people in this county recycle their waste. "Problems like this are more intense in Germany," he said "In this ~ountry you have lots of space left, you can drop your waste anywhere." Junji Yano, a Japanese student studying English at Arapahoe Community College, talked of the troubles he's had picking up a second language. "It's very different for Japanese to learn English," be said, "the grammatical structure of both languages is very different." He went on to explain that, in Japan, there has basically been one culture to influence the language, ratherthan the mix oflanguages that have influenced, in one way or another, the English language. As I left the pot luck, crossing through the doorways of the· St. Francis Interfaith Center, and arrived back home in Denver, I began walking back to my car parked across campus. It was then that I thought for a moment how lucky I had indeed been to go on such a wonderful trip, to meet so many new friends and gain so many new ideas. As I walked past the Student Union, I felt a little sorry for those who hadn't been as lucky as I.

New activities director focuses on leadership Joel Lamoreaux The Metropolitan

DavidsonPorterdoesn'thaveoneofthose long weighty titles that brings instant respect and attention. Yet, the opportunity he has as assistant director of Student Activities to influence the lives of students at Metropolitan State College, in many ways reaches far beyond those more powerful entities he serves under. "Leadership means not just being in charge, but making a difference," Porter said. "Leaders are not just the CEOs and senators, but those working to make a difference." Porter'-s._129sition, which was created at the beginning of this semester, is designed to focus on bringing leadership programs and activities to Metro. Porter looks at people such as the woman who started Mothers Against Drunk Driving as examples of people who had a vision and took action to bring about change. ''These people are just as effective, they just channel their energy in a different direc-

He can then combine what problems and needs have been presented to him with his own experience, which includes establishing a similar development program at his last position, to create the best possible prowam at Metro. Porter plans to divide his ·efforts among three groups. The first are those already in a leadership position, such as an officer in a club, helping them to do a better job in that position and in dealing with people both in their group and in other organizations. The second are those who are not yet involved, but would like to be and are looking to pick up the necessary skills to serve in a leadership position. Third, are those who don't want to serve in any positions or become involved with a group because of time restrictions for example, but realize the necessity of learning leadership skills in order to be more successful after graduation. "Everyone has an interest in professional development," Porter said. "They want to

MSCD anthropology major Lisa Coffin said she attended the symposium to fulfill a requirement for a class in Chicano studies and planned to write a reaction paper on the lecture given by Peggy Lore. Another MSCD student in attendan~e. Chris Ryan, said that he had learned more of other cultures from this event and said that a teacher suggested that he attend. University of Colorado at Denver professor Joel Salsberg closed the afternoon sessions with a lecture on Jewish American literature. Salsberg, who has written extensively on ,the works of Bernard Malamud, said he wanted the audience to understand the immigrants' sensibilities in writing. Rebecca Lloyd, president of the lntercultural Funds Club, MSCD student and work study employee for the institute, summed up the event as, "a forum or a place to bring crown jewels and information from other cultures to the rest of us." 0

Bartending tips:

How to make a morbid martini alaAuraria Dave Plank The threat is all too real. You're walking from your last class of the day, ready to find a couple of friends, slip into a bar and abandon lucidity for a while. Suddenly, you hear terrified, inhuman screams as the body of a high level MSCD administrator or other campus fixture plunges from the spire of St. Elizabeth's. Laugh now. I can remember when MSCD presidents came and went so fast that the window became a viable alternative to the revolving door of their thirdfloor office. And just in case you haven't noticed, things aren't looking too bright around here, despite what everyone is trying to tell you. The campus is about to erupt into a latter-day-Watts race riot. Tuition's going up, again, along w ith the cost of parking. And the food in the cafeteria would still gag a maggot. I hate to burst everybody's post-Plain and Fancy Ball euphoria, but things are really looking pretty bleak. Nope, it might not be long before you look up in the sky and see MSCD President Tom Brewer plunging straight at you at a couple hundred miles per hour. So, in the spirit of the never-ending quest for knowledge, we at The Met have designed a sophisticated computer program to tell us exactly what would happen if some prominent Aurarians decided to take the final option -and go on to that big grad school in the sky, by way of an approximately 100 foot drop, from about the height of the St. Elizabeth's spire. Note: the calculations used in this column were arrived at using .a complicated system of equations designed especially for this simulation. Actual results obtained by throwing Auraria personnel off of St.

Elizabeth's may vary, and The Metropolitan makes no guarantee, expressed or implied, as to the accuracy of the results presented here. For the record, our terminal impact energy figures are derived using the following formula: TE, or the terminal energy, equals S1 , the speed at which the body is falling, multiplied by W, the weight of the body, multiplied by S2, or splat, the time it takes for the body to explode and what's left of it to come to rest. Terminal impact energy is expressed in foot-pounds, and one foot-pound equals about one-third as much energy as is expended in hand-mixing a dry martini, five parts London gin to one part dry vermouth. Say we start with the aforementioned president Brewer, who I'd say is about 6 feet tall and comes in at about 190 pounds. After a fall of 100 feet, taking into account the acceleration due to gravity and the Splat Factor, Dr. Brewer would release about 392.85 footpounds, or enough energy to shake up 131 martinis. It is also safe to assume that the pavement where he landed would be cracked, and that a "Dr. Brewer's Legacy" series of articles would appear in The Metropolitan for the three issues after the tragedy. MSCD Student Advisory Committfle to the Auraria Board member/CU-D "Advocate" columnist/William F. Buckley wanna-be A. Scott Gassmann, at about five feet six inches and 140 pounds, would release only about 290 foot-pounds, or enough to produce 96 martinis, which would probably be slurped up by other Young Republicans at his memorial service. There would most likely also be a short obituary in the "Douglas County News-Press," the paper in Castle Rock, A. Scott's hometown. MSCD Black Student Alliance President Lisa Calderon, fivefeetfive inches and around 100 pounds,

would impart about 119 foot-pounds to the pavement upon her impact, or only enough energy to mix 39 martinis. Media coverage of her demise, however, would be massive, laced with insinuations that she was pushed by former MSCD Student Sen. Joel Kleg. Kleg would be sentenced to life in Canon City, a move by which the Auraria Campus would be moved one step closer to perfection. The entire Alph Eta Rho (commercial aviation) fraternity, with a cumulative weight of maybe 4,500 pounds, would hit the ground with a whopping 9,555 foot-pounds of energy. This is enough to shake up 3, 185 martinis, or about one for every future victim of the airline crashes those same frat members will no doubt be involved in. There's a little mongrel dog who I think must live on the Ninth Street Park, about the size of, maybe, Benji, maybe seven pounds and two feet long. If he decided to end it all and jumped off St. Elizabeth's, and landed headfirst (don't forget the Splat Factor) he would only release about 6.12 foot pounds, two martinis' worth of energy. Actually the beast could survive, mathematically speaking. But that would ruin everything, so we won't consider it. Finally - and yes, you saw it coming - let's say someone did the world a favor, bound and gagged 6 foot2 inch, 210-poundASMSCD President Dan Holden, carried him to the top of St. Elizabeth's and pitched h路im off. His glorious impact with the solid, unforgiving asphalt would release about 413.61 foot-pounds, or shake, not stir, martinis for 137 justice-loving Auraria personnel. Who said science wasrJ't fun?

EDITORIAL By Brian Larson

Censorship violates U.S. freedoms In Broward County, Fla., Charles Freeman was found guilty of selling a record album. The album, "As Nasty As They Wanna Be," by "2 Live Crew," was deemed obscene by U.S. District Judge Jose Gonzales two days before Freeman sold it to an undercover Broward County sheriff's officer. Obscene material is defined by the U.S. Supreme Court as material that appeals primarily to sexually obsessive interests, is patently obscene by community standards and lacks serious artistic, literary or scientific merit. The jury that convicted Freeman, an all-white, mostly female jury, was instructed that it should find the album obscene if it appeals to a "morbid, shameful interest in sex" and violates the standards of average residents of Broward County. What is an "averag~ resident" in Broward County? There were 1, 187,000 people in Broward County in July 1, 1988, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. They range from the upper-middle class retired set to pimps and drug dealers. A drive through Broward County can weave through an exclusive, million-dollar, Boca Raton neighborhood as easily as through a Ft. Lauderdale ghetto. Broward County exhibits tremendous ethnic and cultural diversity. Yet six people from painfully limited backgrounds have determined what is acceptable for the entire county. "2 Live Crew" may not provide the music of choice for everyone, but chances are, the Boston Pops don't either. Every year, some new, extremely closed-minded

organization springs up to decry the foulness, vulgarity and downright thoughtprovokingness of a band, a song, a book, a film, an art exhibit or their neighbor's chosen life-style. What kind of person is it- in deference to the military-who wants everyone to think and act the same? Why would anyone want everyone else to read the same books, listen to the same music, view the same art, have 2.3 children and a station wagon, and avoid, above all, anything controversial?

THE METROPOLITAN

'Name Withheld' has recourse in assault Editor, This is written to clarify certain issues raised in the above referenced letter by Name Withheld Upon Request in The Metropolitan dated Sept. 28, 1990. It is neither an attempt to justify the horrible conduct by the male nor to denigrate or deny the feelings of the victim. Rather, this is written to present a viewpoint that the conduct as described in the letter is criminal, the punishment therefor, and the protections guaranteed to the accused. First of all, the events described by the writer suggests that a sexual assault in the third degree may have been committed. Sexual assault in the third degree exists where an individual subjects another to any sexual contact without consent. Sexual contact means the touching of the intimate parts of another. Intimate parts include external genitalia. Thus, if the male placed his "crotch in (her) back," sexual contact occurred. Sexual contact under these circumstances does not require that an erect penis exist. Secondly, sexual assault in the third degree, under most circumstances, is a class 1 misdemeanor. A class 1 misdemeanor is punishable by a definite term in the county jail for a minimum of six months or a maximum of 24 months. A fine from five hundred dollars to five thousand dollars may also be imposed in conjunction with the jail term or without the jail term. Of course, the class 1 misdemeant may be placed on

probation. Thirdly, there are a panoply of rights guaranteed to anyone accused of a crime based on the Constitution of the United States and the State of Colorado. Anyone accused of a sexual assault in the third degree is guaranteed those same rights. This is appropriate and just because once a crime is committed and an offender identified the massive apparatus of the state is placed in motion against the individual. Theiounders of the United States knew that when the state is aligned against the individual, the individual is at a disadvantage and is in need of some protections. Given the circumstances of the day, there are those who unwittingly are working toward a diminution and erosion of those basic guarantees. It is only through a firm commitment and respect for those rights that society will exhibit norms that view occurrences such as that experienced by the letter writer as repugnant. It is through a diminution and erosion of those rights that the state, as the omnipresent and ubiquitous teacher, will contribute to the continuing breakdown of decent and civil behavior. Those who would find the offender and summarily punish after a ''fair" trial contribute ironically to the continued drift of an alienated, hostile environment. Civil liberties guarantee our freedom and civility.

Minority faculty welcome, needed at MSCD •

Editor, I would like to respond to Lou Talman's thoughtprovoking letter about the proposed minority recruitment plan: In 1968, I was teaching in an all-black Catholic school in San Francisco and, despite my best whiteliberal efforts, I was having trouble convincing my eighth graders of the importance of reading and writing. The Black Panthers were running a breakfast progra(ll in the basement of the church, so one morning I asked some of them to come up and give my kids a pep talk. They did, and I watched my students get mesmerized by these exciting new role models - to the point where they actually got excited about learning. Had I been the principal of that school, I would have been well-advised to offer a bonus to recruit a qualified black teacher for those kids. I'm not talking quotas here. I don't like quotas any more than Lou Talman does, especially government mandated quotas. They are demeaning to all concerned. What I'm concerned with is education. Good teaching involves communication. A teacher may have lots of knowledge, but if he can't resonate with his students, that knowledge dies on the vine. Conversely, if students feel no connection with their teacher and find him irrelevant or insensitive to their needs, they may sit in class, memorize lectures and even pass tests, butthey will never allow themselves to be "drawn

out" or educated. For that to happen, they must feel some sort of connection with their teacher, and this often happens as a result of a shared experience. My point is this: Let's stop labeling policies "racist" before we examine them thoroughly from an academic standpoint. When Metro decided, a few years back, that there was a growing market in computer instruction, we invested in hardware and then set about wooing the best qualified instructors we could find, paying what amounted to a "bounty" for their services because of market demand. Using a similar market approach, we have now come to realize that our student population will increasingly be composed of minorities (including women) and older adults. In order to reach that market. we must woo educators who are capable of communicating with those types of students. Shared experiences, whether of age, race or gender, often are the basis for such communication, and as such constitute a valid part of academic credentials. Offering a bonus in order to attract such quality educators is a sound business decision - especially for an institution such as Metropolitan State College (of Denver) which has built its reputation on an ability to adapt quickly and effectively to the needs of nontraditional students. Let's bury racism for a while and talk business!

Letter proves society's insensitivity, apathy Editor, To say I was shocked at the apparent insensitivity of Steven Shelton's rebuttal to "Name Withheld's" editorial of September 28th is an understatement.·But what better proof of society's apathy toward the growing sexual violence against women in our culture? His regarding her sexual attack in the Auraria library as an "aversive event" on the same level as a shortage of good parking spaces is beyond belief ... beyond acceptance! His contention that her anger and confusion over this personal assault should be regarded as "unmitigated whining" is a prime example of the need for education of our young men regarding women's issues and our need for societal change in attitudes toward sexual harassment. Thank you, $teven, for so eloquently proving her point. I would only like to add for the benefit of the victim, that yes, change is. possible. It is possible if individuals who have been abused are not shamed into silence, but will unite and use the power of combined strength to take action that will make the necessary changes toward providing a safe environment for women on campus.

Hispanic production portrays Auraria's past Gwen Estridge Assistant Features Editor As a hand-held woven basket of bells jingle to announce seating to the production, "El Corrido del Barrio," Latino children scurry ahead thirsting for more of the play' s tale of their culture and the close-knit Hispanic people that used to reside in what is now called Auraria. Written and directed by Anthony J. Garcia, "El Corrido del Barrio,"(The Neighborhood Ballad) is being performed at El Centro Su Teatro. It is a story of family, friends, love and destruction as the Latino families have no

other alternative but to leave their neighborhood as a result of the powers of progress and industrialization. The only homes left from the old neighborhood are located on Ninth Street Park and now serve as offices for the Auraria Higher Education Center. Garcia, now with children of his own, grew up in this neighborhood and bas based some of the scenes in "El Corrido del Barrio" on the events of his childhood in the area. "Some of the things that happen in the play actually happened, and I remember them very well. We have a lot of children that come to the play because their parents lived in the neighborhood too. My daughter attends my play and feels that neighborhoods are very important as is her own neighborhood," Garcia said. "El Corrido del Barrio," takes place in the mid '60s and centers around two families. It combines both Spanish and English dialogue with music to tell its story. We learn that the neighborhood is being tom down for a school called Auraria, the characters explain, "where minorities can go to college." The show features a gentleman dressed in black, wearing a mask that resembles a skull. He speaks to the audience as well as the families and introduces himself as La Muerte (death). The character is played by Angel Mendez-Soto. Garcia does an excellent job in placing La Muerte in business hats and construction hats to symbolize the different "hats of fate" the Chicano families are confronted with. He mystically watches as they speak of the sadness of leaving their neighborhood and regretfully sign contracts to sell their homes and property.

Vecina Lina, played by Debra Gallegos-Martinez, and Lupe Lujan, played by Susana Cordova, in the production of 'El Corrido del Barrio.' Mendez-Soto excels as La Muerte and instills fear into the Latino families. He uses the power of his acting ability and the strength of his voice to shake the depths of the soul. Garcia also introduces two young boys of the barrio. Piri, played bySteven Saldana, is a young man who was drafted and served in Vietnam, and Joey, played by Paul Zamora, stayed in the neighborhood with his friends. Piri survived the war and returned to the neighborhood and his mother, Comadre Isabela, played by Yolanda OrtegaEricksen. Joey, who had stayed at home, was found shot to death one night- shot by La Muerte wearing a police officer's hat. It was later found that Joey was unarmed and alone. Yolanda Ericksen is the Director of Student Activities for Metropolitan State College of Denver. "This whole corrido is about this campus

before it was built. The audience we have at Su Teatro is a very diverse group. We target neighborhoods of Chicanos who are not familiar with theater and think it's just a snobby affair and try to prove differently," Ericksen said. "El Corrido del Barrio" is an excellent piece of entertainment that weaves the Hispanic culture's happiness and hardships into a better understanding of the people. It also unfolds the mystery of the land prior to the construction of the Auraria Campus. Celebrating its 20th anniversary, El Centro Su Teatro is a theater company consisting of Chicano playwrights, technical people, actors and actresses. It is located at 4725 High St. in the old Elyra elementary school. "El Corrido" runs through Oct. 20 on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings at 8:05 p.m. and tickets are $7.

Digit Fund

Foreign visit benefits clinic, research

... '

Deanna Allen The Metropolitan

In a room full of adults he stood out. Obviously in awe of his surroundings and yet, sure that he belongs. Ten-year-old Sam Reid became part of the Digit Fund/Morris Animal Foundation benefit dinner Thursday, Oct. 4 at the Hyatt Regency-Denver Tech Center. Sam, as well as the rest of the guests, was there because of the mountain gorillas he cares about so deeply. Two projects in the mountains of Rwanda, Africa benefit from the evening's activities. "I became interested in the gorillas after going to the library and finding a book about them," Reid said . "The more I read, the more I wanted to find out about them," he said, peering into the glass cases containing remnants of researcher Dian Fossey's life. The Karisoke Research Center in the mountains of Rwanda works to protect the 310 mountain gorillas remaining in the world. It was established in 1967 by Dian Fossey and today is staffed by three gorilla behavior specialists and 26 native Rwandans who protect the gorillas from poachers. Digit, for whom the fund was named, was one of the gorillas that Fossey observed. His body was found missing its head and hands. He was the victim of poachers. The only veterinary clinic in the world to serve a wild animal population is also in Rwanda. The Volcano Veterinary Center is staffed by a full-time veterinarian who monitors the gorillas and provides medical care only when needed. "I never saw the movie about Dian Fossey, ' Gorillas in the Mist,"' said Reid' s mother, Christy. "Sam has checked all of the material available out of the library about her and his enthusiasm has been contagious. When I was able to get an invitation to this dinner for the Rwandan officials, I felt it was worth the cost to bring Sam and give him the chance to learn more about Rwanda and the gorillas." One of Sam's wishes was to be able to meet Ruth Keesling, president of the Digit Fund and daughter of Morris Animal Foundation creator, veterinarian Mark L. Morris.

After guests had been entertained by a baby chimp and a leopard cub, they bid on auction items ranging from a sweat-shirt autographed by Sigourney Weaver, who portrayed Fossey in the film, to a diamond gorilla brooch. The group also watched a videotape of Weaver accepting a Rwandan award posthumously presented to Fossey by Rwanda President Habyarimana Juvenal. Finally, Sam had his chance. He cautiously approached the podium and was introduced to Keesling. She immediately made him feel at ease as she told him how honored she was that he was at the dinner and the importance of teaching children in the United States and Rwanda about the mountain gorillas. "We only had six weeks to put this whole event together," said Dianne Hitchingham, Digit Fund managing director. "Originally, President Habyarimana was to be honored at the dinner, but the Oct. 1 invasion of Rwanda from the north changed those plans quickly," Hitchingham said. "Fortunately, the minister of education and the mayor of Kinigi were able to accompany Ambassador Aloys Uwimana to Denver, so we were able to host most of the scheduled events." According to Hitchingham, President Habyarimana will reschedule his visit to Colorado after the turmoil in Rwanda is settled. One of the evening' s highlights was the premier showing of a Dian Fossey traveling exhibit, developed by the Denver Museum of Natural History. lbis exhibit shows the many facets ofFossey' s personality- those of a scholar, scientist, feminine woman and person who loved Rwanda and the gorillas. A variety of diverse items make up the display, everything from a delicately beaded handbag to some of Fossey's detailed journals and photographs of her time in Rwanda. "The Colorado-based Digit Fund and the Morris Animal Foundation are the second largest source of national income for Rwanda," Hitchingham said . "These two organizations provide the main support to save the mountain gorillas. But if we did not have the cooperation of the Rwanda government, our task would have been impossible," she said. 0

COUNSELOR CORNER

LIVE MUSIC ON SATURDAY NITES

Dear Enjoying, Many parents "in tears" when their children leave are actually feeling abandonment and panic because they have not developed complete and fulfilling lives themselves. You have indicated you and your husband are enjoying each others company and, in addition, you are taking college level courses. It appears you have an enriched life complete with good relationship and healthy, growth-oriented interests. One of the characteristics of a healthy family is the ability to individuate and separate when the children grow up. While this is often a bitter-sweet process it certainly need not be a time of pain and loss. A good parent, having done their job well, might certainly feel "new found freedom" and even some relief that at least the full-time part of parenting is over. Enjoy this new chapter in your life.

MSCD COUNSELING CENTER Dear CC, Can spending money be an addictive behavior? Is this an immediate gratification type thing or can it be from something lacking in your life or yourself? Is there help for this type behavior?

Signed, Broke Dear Broke, Spending money can indeed be an addictive behavior. In fact, this is a behavior that is shared by many in our culture. You are correct in suspecting that a continuing pattern of uncontrolled spending is caused by personal or life deficits. For some people, spending money provides relief from boredom, confusion, pain from loss, stress and other sources of conflict. The spending behavior can produce euphoria and exhilaration which distracts the person from making needed changes in their life. In this way all addictive behavior can provide immediate relief from discomfort but in so doing interferes with the development of healthy and long lasting ways of dealing with life's ups and downs. Many sources of help are available to any addicted individual ranging from individual counseling to support groups that share the same road to moderation.

Dear CC: As a full-time student, working full time and raising a family of two "tweens," I feel stressed out and overwhelmed. I only have two semesters left of school and it is important that I graduate by May '91. What do you suggest I do to handle the stress? I am having a difficult tjme finding any time for myself and often feel frustrated trying to meet all the demands of my various roles.

Dear Stressed Out: Congratulations! You have almost reached your goal. In returning to school, you are honoring an inner personal need to learn and grow and move ahead. In the meantime, it is very hard to balance all the roles you play with good, healthy physical and emotional self care. It is natural that you feel overwhelmed and frustrated.

Dear CC, My youngest child just went away to college. The nest is now empty. My husband and I are enjoying each other's company. Is there something wrong with me because I'm not in tears because "my baby is gone." Signed, ''Enjoying my new found freedom"

I cannot comment on your having a fulltime job as well as being a full-time student without knowing more about your situation except to say that most people are not able to maintain such demanding schedules without developing stress-related problems. Keep re-evaluating your priorities as you move toward your goal and brainstorm about alternatives that may create more time for y~urself. My first suggestion is to look at ways perfectionism may be getting in your way. Try lowering your standards of housekeeping, cooking, and being available to solve any problem that occurs in your family or circle of friends. Learn to say "no," and don't feel guilty. Ask for help when you need it. Organize your time and arrange your schedule to fit your priorities. Do your "homework" at school, go to the library on weekends if you need to study, then when you are at home you will be free to enjoy your family. Keep your sense of humor and perspective. This counselor spent her first morning in graduate school at the local fire station having a ring sawed off her little daughter's finger. The missed class is long forgotten, the story remains part of our family lore. Take care of the little kid inside you. Plan a "date" at least once a week with your significant other, good friends or yourself. When you get to graduation, throw yourself a big party, and don't forget to celebrate the everyday victories along the way.

SPORTS Student- athlete profile

MSCD covers itself over locker room controversy Kimberly Palmer The Metropolitan

The Metropolitan State College of Denver athletic policy states that no female reporters are allowed in the locker room after sporting events. The MSCD policy also states that male reporters aren't allowed in the locker room after sporting events. The athletic department has covered itself, stating that all interviews are to be conducted outside the locker room after a sporting event.

Yunger sets goals on and off the field Jim Mack The Metropolitan

That policy, however, governs only MSCD, not the other members of the Colorado Athletic Conference, who make their own policies. Irv Brown, commissioner of the Colorado Athletic Conference, said the conference doesn 'thave an official policy addressing the locker room question. Brown said he doesn't anticipate any problems, and will address it when it becomes an issue. "If anyone wants to interview an athlete, we can get them outside the locker room with some clothes on," said Brown. 0

Metropolitan State College of Denver men's soccer forward Tim Yunger has a load of responsibility on and off the field this season. On the field, Yunger was tied forl6th in the nation for overall scoring in Division II play before the Roadrunners Oct. 9 game. Including the two goals and one assist Yunger tallied on the 9th, he now has nine goals and seven assists for a total of 25 points. MSCD men's soccer coach Dennis Daly emphasizes Yunger's importance in helping lead the 'Runners to a 5-3 record. "He has to put the ball in the back of the net and he has to drive the other players,"Daley said. Although Yunger is the scoring star of the team, he remains modest. "My teammates are great on and off the field. They're here to play soccer and be your friend," Yunger said. Yunger may never have met his soccer teammates ifMSCD hadn't been the perfect situation for him. "I chose Metro because it's the only college that offered me a soccer scholarship and they have a great criminal justice department," Yunger said. Yunger is now a senior and he plans to

graduate at the end of the summer term. Yunger is a criminal justice major and he plans to work with the youths in the community. He now works as a volunteer for the Adams County Probation Department. Daly realizes Yunger's importance on the field and he has recognized his off the field achievements as well. "I have lots of respect for Tim," Daly said. Yunger's playing career may be coming to a close, but coaching isn't out of the question. "People ask me about that once in a while," Yunger said. "That option is always open." Regardless of what Yunger decides to do, one must believe that he will succeed. He certainly does now. 0

THEMETROPOLITAN

SPORTS A view from the press box Dale Shrull Sports Editor Sports fans, sports fans! Step right up, there's something for everyone, this is one of the greatest times of the year. You want football, you've got it. Baseball? Hey, it's October, the World Series is quickly approaching. How about hockey? Yep. Basketball? Ready to hoop it up. And controversy, what's sports without a little controversy?

A's quietly great The Oakland A's pennant chase is becoming a quiet affair. Quiet, not because the American League Championship series against the Boston Red Sox is so lopsided, but instead because a bunch of quiet people are the keys. The Oakland A's, on a quest for their second consecutive World Championship, are loaded with talent and even more loaded with egos. Jose Canseco and Rickey Henderson the only thing bigger than their egos are their salaries. But in this year's league championship, it hasn't been the big guns or bats that the A's have relied on. Yes, Eckersley, Stewart and Welch have been dominating but the key to the series against the Red Sox so far has been the quiet, unsung guys. Terry Steinbach, quiet and valuable;

Seven days worth of sports makes one weak Willie McGee, a quiet, indispensable contributor; Willie Randolph, the battle-worn veteran whose experience and key hits carried the A's offensively in Game 3; and Harold Baines, the (most) quiet, and relatively obscure, player. If it wasn't for the late-season trade that brought Baines to the A's from the Texas Rangers, many. casual baseball observe~s may never have known the talent that this man possesses. As Canseco and Henderson talk and Eckersleytaunts,Baines,McGee, Randolph and Steinbach just play the game and say all the right things - if they say anything at all. SoletthemouthsoftheOaklandA'sroar and the runs will continue to s~ore. C~seco, Henderson and Eckersley w~l continue ~o be the big guns but the quiet boys wtll continue to do their talking on the field.. Now that the A's have don~ away wtth the Red Sox and when they begm the World Series, the mouths will be roaring even louder, but lets appreciate the silence and the workman-like job that the quiet one's put in. And Harold, don't worry if you have nothing to say, we'll talk later.

CU, give me five

The University of Missouri Tigers hosting the University of Colorado Buffaloes, a game for the history books. Fivedowns. Slippery field. Slippery ball.

High winds. What's granola? And where does it come from? So many questions and a load of controversy. CU quarterback Charles Johnson scored - well, the officials said he scored - on fifth down, there's no question now. I'm sure most of us know that a team is alloted only four downs. So why was CU allowed to run five plays? Maybe the officials all failed arithmetic, maybe they all were missing one finger making it impossible to count to five, maybe they all forgot what comes after "four potato," or maybe they just made a mistake. Oh my God, a group of human beings made a mistake! Now there's a scoop. No, they shouldn't have. But they did. Missouri was robbed. CU, on this day, was luckier than even The Fighting Irish. No matter how lucky CU was, they won the game. It was a referee mistake that gave them the win. Just like missing a penalty or a fumble, it was a referee mistake. CU shouldn't be blamed. Maybe CU would have played the third down differently, whoknows?Butthegame shouldn't be reversed because of the unknown. As for Bill McCartney, yes, the field was atrocious. Yes, it deprived the Buffs from some substantial gains. No, don't complain

about it. Bill, you' re looking like ~jerk. ~e more Mc.<:artney complams about the slippery conditions of the field the worst the Buffs look. . Yes, your players _sh~pe~ but · · · be happy th~t the game ~dn t shp away·

Wyche s wallet IS bare

Sam Wyche, the head coach of the Cincinnati Bengals, learned that the wrath of NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue can be harsh. Harsh indeed. Tagliabue fined Wyche $30,000 for not allowing a female reporter in the Bengals• locker room on Sept. 30. That large of a fine for violating the league policy. Hooray for Tagliabue. He's showing everyone that he will not stand for any league violations. Taglibue has now shown the world that he's one tough cookie. But showing he's tough on social issues is one thing. Now it's time to show what he's going to do against drug offenders. Now that Paul has become the bad-#@&$ commissioner, the next time someone violates the league drug policy he had better be ready to show his toughness. No more Mr. Niceguy. If Tagliabue is willing to ~e Wyche 30 big ones, ?e better be_ ready to gtve the boot to a three-trmedrug vto1a tor, or b e read Y t o an s w er the n ._. en·t:J.·cs.
