Kristi James The Metropolitan A proposed baseball stadium site next to the Auraria Campus could cause traffic and parking problems because the existing streets might not be able to accommodate the redevelopment of the Platte Valley, according to a consultant's report.

The Auraria Board of Directors contracted the firm of Bucher, Willis & Ratliff to prepare a report on the traffic and parking impact the proposed Gateway baseball stadium site would have on the Auraria campus.

Betty Miller, chair of the board, said, "The board has not taken a position for or against any particular site. We are looking at the significant impacts on the traffic movement and parking."

Miller said that the Gateway site permits only 5,000 parking spaces, but the report estimates that the stadium needs at least

12,000 spaces. Miller addressed the metro stadium authority on Oct. 15 'at a public meeting, informing the authority that it could not count on Auraria for additional parking on a regular basis. .Miller added that if the Gateway site is chosen, "the problems could be resolved if they begin working immediately to mitigate them."

John McHale, chairman of the Denver Metropolitan League Baseball Stadium District, said "We have not planned or assumed that the Auraria Campus will be available to us."

The stadium plan allows for 5,000 spaces on site, McHale said. The board is looking for a joint-use opportunity for an additional 7 ,000 spaces within walking distance of the stadium. He added that the authority would have to reach a joint-use agreement with Auraria officials.

The stadium will not be built unless Denver is awarded a National League expansion team. The National League owners will announce next spring the two cities that

will be awarded expansion franchises. The season's opening game for the two expansion cities will be April, 1993.

The metro stadium authority is looking at three sites and is expected to announce their decision by mid-December.

The three proposed sites are the Gateway site at Auraria Parkway between 7th and 9th streets, the Union Station site at Blake Street between 20th and 23rd, and the sports complex site near McNichols Sports Arena.

Mayor Federico Pena and the Denver city council favor the Gateway silt<.

The report concludes that in the next IO years campus demand for parking spaces will grow, making it difficult for the Auraria Campus to provide any baseball parking.

Miller said that ihe campus would have spaces available, for example on Sunday afternoons, but that the stadium authority could not use the campus parkffig on a regular basis.

McHale said that Miller presented the authority with a copy of the consultant's see STADIUM page 3

Metropolitan State College of Denver President Thomas Brewer sent a letter to professors and administrators Sept. 26 blasting a recent campus incident of "clearly sexist" behavior.

According to Brewer, the Institute for Women's Studies and S~ices received a "clearly sexist and harassing response on official college letterhead" when it requested nominations for outstanding women at MSCD. Brewer's assistant, Yvonne Flood, said that women's studies sent out response forms to all faculty for the nominations, and received the form in question, which was unsigned.

Jodi Wetzel, directorof the Institute for Women's Studies and Services, was unavailable for comment. The form itself was also unavailable.

Brewer's letter outlined MSCD goals for "multicultural and gender diversity," and decried harassment or discrimination based on race or sex.

Although Brewer said in the letter that "persons committing such violations are a disgrace to this community ofleamers and must be disciplined up to exclusion from the community." Flood said no one has been disciplined in the incident.

"I thought (Brewer's letter) was a very good letter," said Percy Morehouse, the director of the Equal Opportunity Office.

"What made it even stronger is that it will set a tone (of awareness of sexism)."

Morehouse had not read the offending letter.

"Whether or not it was a prank, it still had an effect on the people who saw it, and it should never have happened," Morehouse said.

Morehouse said that, during the past school year, all department beads attended a workshop designed to raise their awareness of sexism on campus.

The administration has already attended harassment workshops and faculty members are in the process of attending the workshops. Morehouse hopes to incorporate students at some point.

This year, hearings to assess racial harassment issues will be conducted.

"Some of the issues we'11 be looking at are free speech versus racial harassment," Morehouse said. ' Q

NEWS McGovern derides Reagan-era policies Carolyn Bauer

Teleconference focuses on racial harassment

The Metropolitan

Fonner Democratic presidential candidate George McGovern scolded Democrats for allowing the country to reach its current dismal state of affairs, but be saved his toughest punches for Republicans, during a press conference at Auraria Campus, Oct 18.

"More and more PACs (political action committees) contribute to both sides," McGovern told students at the sparsely attended meeting at the Student Union.

"It strikes me that the pressure point of money is moving both parties together. We could eliminate a lot of this by public funding of campaigns,'' he said.

Auraria's three institutions are co-sponsoring a teleconference titled "Campus Responses to Racial Harassment and Intimidation."

The conference on Novembe.r2 from I I a.m. to 2 p.m. will address questions on how to improve the quality of campus life for all students, and will focus on ethnic minorities.

Questions will include: What steps should campuses take to enhance or restore the sense of community and common good which is needed on campus? What are the implications for victims of racial harassment and intimidation?

This broadcast will focus on the issues and identify the possibilities The Student Health Center for change.

Billi Mavromatis, a staff assistant at the center, said that flu shots will be -available-frnnrlO· a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays

"Liberals seem to do well controlling the House and Senate," McGovern said, "but not so well in the White House, with the exception ofa brief period under Carter."

McGovern said he doesn 't see any current political leaders willing to chart alternative directions, and that leadership seems to flow by precedent.

Possibly because of this lack of leadership, McGovern said he would be willing to see the United States experiment for a decade with limiting terms of office of senators to two terms.

"Maybe it would be good to bring some young blood and ideas in," McGovern said. "But I don't know that a two term limit has improved the quality of presidents," he quipped.

"The middle class are really being shafted," McGovern stated.

"And it's true that both parties are deferring too much to the wealthy, and that rich people have been in the saddle, particularly with regard to the Reagan era."

McGovern stated that the average middle class person pays a higher percentage of income in taxes than the wealthy.

He defined the American middle class as working people earning between $15,000 and $100,000 a year.

"The idea of Bush's of lowering the capital gains tax is for the wealthy," McGovern said, though he said he would support an individual tax benefit for the one-time sale of a house under $100,000.

Perhaps best known for his crushing defeat at the hands of Richard M. Nixon in 1972, the former U.S. Senator from South see McGOVERN page 6

report. The authority has hired a consulting firm to look at the traffic impacts at all of the sites.

The stadium authority anticipates the consultant'~ report will be finished by mid-November.

McHale said that the authority is not favoring any one of the sites.

"We are open to all three sites," he said. "We are just information gathering at this point."

According to the consultant's report a traffic study prepared by the stadium authority indicates that some of the parking demands of the stadium could be met through the use of Auraria parking, whichtheyestimatedas4,530 spaces.

Following the completion of the new parking garage, the Auraria Campus will have 4,200 on-site parking spaces. The current demand for parking includes 16,000 decal sales, 1,000 pre-paid permits and 1,000 on-street parkers outside the campus lots, according to the. report.

Mark Gallagher, acting head of the parking office, said, "We' re not against the stadium, but we are concerned about the impact on our parking operations. We want to make sure we give students the first rights (to parking)."

The heaviest traffic flow will be between 6:30 and 7:30 p.m. as evening games beginning at 7:30 will directly conflict with evening classes.

ing from April to October, the majority ofgames would be played during summer semester when traffic volume is lower.

The report concludes that if access to the stadium from Speer Boulevard is not improved, traffic on AurariaParkway could increase by more than 2,000 vehicles westbound and 1,500 vehicles eastbound in the hour before the start of the game. It is estimated that traffic on 7th Street could also increase by more than 1,000 vehicles prior to the game.

The oaseball stadium could generate an additional 25,000 vehicles daily, the report estimates.

More than 10,000 additional vehicles would be on all roadways between6:30and7:30p.m. before evening games.

These traffic figures could be higher if other proposed development occurs in the Central Platte Valley. According to the report this could include Elitch Gardens, · a 75 acre amusement park, and commercial and office development as well as anumberofhotels.

In November 1989, Denver voters approved a $14 million bond issue to subsidize the move.

However, theElitch's move is uncertain as the landowner has doubled the asking price. All 13 city council members signed a letter stating that if Elitch's fails to buy the land, none of the bond money would be spent.

THEMETRO POLIT AN

October 26, 1990

Fest combines education, humor on deadly issue Carolyn Bauer The Metropolitan Sporting a white nun's habit, dusty tennis shoes and a five o'clock shadow, Sister Mary Condom, as he called himself, was just one in the boisterous crowd jamming the Student Union cafeteria.

"Here, have some," said Sister Condom as he handed prophylactics to the milling crowd. "We have all sizes, even extra large, for those special men in your life." Sister Condom, a Colorado Health Department counselor in real life, was just one of the many participants touting safe sex at the 4th Annual Wellness Fest held Oct 21.

The festival was sponsored by the AIDS Education and Training Program, the Colorado Department of Health, Auraria Lesbian and Gay Alliance and "QUEST Magazine." Normally sedate on Sundays, the Auraria Student Union was filled with hundreds of participants, costumed and unadorned health professionals, educators and counselors, and some unique segments of the gay and straight communities.

"I'm a mild-mannered secretary by day," said a grinning leather-clad woman standing behind a table filled with human-sized studded dog collars and leather paddles.

" But I'm a whip-swinging dominatrix by night," she insisted, twirling a black leather whip convincingly in her gloved hand.

The studs, black caps and cod-pieces made her fellow National Leather Association members look fierce, but all were adamant that even they practice safe sex.

"We are pan-sexual, meaning hetero, gay, transsexual, bi or asexual, but safe sex is always a part of what we do," said Joe Potter, president of NLA. Though the few more unconventional groups were highly visible, mainstream gay and lesbian organizations filled the bulk of booths that lined two floors of the union. Groups such as Black Gays and Lesbians United Against AIDS, the Colorado AIDS Project, the Gay and Lesbian Democrats of Metro Denver, Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays as well several women 's support service agencies were represented.

But for all its interesting diversions, the Wellness Fest was deadly serious about its message. Literature on AIDS and its prevention and fishbowls overflowing with free condoms were available at nearly every booth. Large group discussions on topics including chemical dependency, religion, political empowerment and nutrition were held during the day.

At one end of the cafeteria, the Black

Gays and Lesbians United Against AIDS handed out safe sex packets and talked about the impact of AIDS in their community.

"We have the weight of two oppressions," said Roger Southall, a Black Gays member. "Our own community, which is really very conservative, doesn't want to acknowledge us because we are gay as well as on top of being black."

Southall went on to say that AIDS is spreading within the black community because blacks don't want to acknowledge the existence of yet another reason for discrimination. He also said that there is a bias in the care given people of color.

Bill Hogan, community outreach director for Colorado AIDS Project, agreed with Southall' s assessment "The level of AIDS infection seems to be growing most in the communities of color, especially among teens," he said. "Also, it is estimated that one in 500 heterosexual college students has AIDS:" Hogan said. " And there may be as many as five to I 0 others infected for every one student known about." Hogan said that CAP offers a strictly anonymous testing facility for anyone desiring confidential AIDS testing.

Though the news about AIDS was not good, despair was tempered by the positive attitude of many participants.

Kevin Ditmer, secretary and treasurer of the Gay and Lesbian Democrats of Metro Denver said his organization has thrown its political muscle behind senatorial candidate Josie Heath because she "acknowledges the humanity of all people."

Festival organizers hoped to reach all segments ofthe Metro area's gay population and there were abundant support services targeted specifically at women. WINGS, a group supporting women coming to terms with incest, was represented, as was the Empowerment Program which provides services for formerly imprisoned women. and those trying to leave life on the streets.

Saint Luke's Hospital was also at the fest offering its services as "a birthing center desiring to serve all mothers-to-be or wantto-be mothers," said Beverly Poleschook, nurse manager of Saint Luke's Women's Resource Center. "We are here to assist all women. And lesbian women, like any other women, should be able to have children.

There is no reason to discriminate," she said.

"If you could take one thing from this day," said Dave Marsh, sponsor of ALAGA, "I hope it would be that there is a richness, a diversity and a great compassion for others within the gay community and outside of it too. We are people who care."

MCGOVERN from page 3 Dakota, now gray-haired but still sounding like a firebrand, called for a new vigorous, searching debate between political parties and offered advice for politics of the future.

"The Republicans did a hatchet job on the word 'liberal' in the last election," McGovern said. "Right when there should have been a resurrection of liberalism they made ' liberal' into a dirty word-they made a liberal sound like a kook," he said. "Republicans ought to be called conservatives and Democrats be called liberals."

McGovern said that, during the 1972 election, his party was known as "pro-peace, environment and anti-war. I still think those are good values."

Addressing the possibility of war with Iraq, McGovern was adamant: 'The question is whether an aggressive dictator controls the oil or a rich Emir," he said. "Ithink we'd win a war against them, but I don't want to sacrifice 25,000 young Americans to bring the Emir back to Kuwait. As long as the president holds to a position of deterrence I'm not going to complain," he said. "But if they become aggressors, they lose my support."

McGovern, now teaching a one-year term at Cornell University, said that economics, not military budget, determine a country's strength today, and that that strength is directly linked to education.

"Americans have always believed in a good education," McGovern said. "But we have people entering universities who can't read. Even so, McGovern, who has taught at European universities including the University of Vienna in Austria, ranked top Ameri-

can universities "maybe just a shade better than those in Europe, with the possiqle·exception of Oxford and Cambridge in England."

McGovern also noted that it will take education to cure the ills which people have wreaked upon the environment and continue to inflict upon themselves through the escalating drug trade.

"If we let the physical envirpnment deteriorate it will undermine everything we do," McGovern said. "It is clear that voters are disgusted with inaction ofleaders in both parties and with Congress too. And don't think you'll solve environmental problems with a free market," he said. "It's been so free in the past that they did any damned thing they pleased."

Speaking about the $200 billion U.S. drug market, McGovern said that the government has taken the wrong tack by using the concept of a "war on drugs."

"It's going to take a long, slow, tedious time to convince kids that drugs are bad," McGovern said. "Most progress will come when we deal with the problem from kindergarten on up. About all of us are hooked on something, and hard drugs is a part of that."

On a more hopeful note, McGovern, who was brought to Auraria by the United Government of Graduate Students of the University of Colorado, said he is glad to see the Cold War ended, and he looks forward to an abolishment of the excessive arms budget which he said "adds nothing to security."

"If we can bring the Office of Managementand Budget under control," McGovern said " we 'II work down the national debt and have funds for the pressing issues of education, environment, and child care."

Lecture series includes new view on roles of pioneer women Joel Lamoreaux The Metropolitan As the covered wagon rolls over the unsettled terrain, two horses plotting along, a man in buckskin jacket holds his gun in one hand and the reigns guiding the horses in the other.

Next to him, a woman in calico and lace sits passively by, looking to her husband for a look of reassurance, wishing her family could return to the home they had left for a new life in the West.

This might be a typical scene in a Hollywood picture about a family heading west to face the hardships of life in the west, but according to Laura McCall, Metropolitan State College of Denver assistant history professor, pioneer women had a much different role when American western history was really acted out.

"Women just don't fit the ste~eotypical images we've had of them in the past," McCall said. "Not only were they housewives and mothers, but many went to the west by themselves.

"The image of women tends to be very demeaning or passive," she said, "but many

women were strong and active, agreeing with their husbands that a move west would benefit the future of their family."

McCall has studied about 120 historical novels for an article she is writing, comparing popular contemporary images with the actual part many women took as pioneers in the old west.

'It wont be so serious in the sense that it will focus on why we have these images, what they mean and why it's important to find the truth.'

The lecture will take a more general focus, McCall said, rather than just a dry, academic presentation of her research.

"It won' t be so serious," she said, "in the sense that it will focus on why we have these images, what they mean and why it's important to find the truth."

McCall said she will speak for about 20 minutes, using the final 30 minutes of her presentation for a group discussion of the ideas brought up during her lecture.

McCall's presentation is the second of a series of three lectures sponsored by the

Metro chapter of Phi Psi, the International Honor Society in History, Phi Alpha Theta.

'The Reluctant Pioneer? A Systematic Examination of Images of Frontier Women" will take place Nov . 14, at 4 p.m. in Room 125 of the Science Building.

The initial lecture on alternate careers for history majors took place Oct. 17, with about 25 people in attendance. Metro chapter president David Linehan said the club was happy with the first lecture's turnout, calling the event a success.

Linehan said the series was developed in part to let first-year instructors like McCall, who recently earned her doctorate at the University of Michigan, a chance to get acquamted and involved with Phi Psi. The third and final lecture is scheduled for Wednesday, Dec. 5, at the same time and location as the second. The topic will be "Profit and Play: The Development of Individual Recreation in Corporate America," presented by Monys Hagan, assistant professor of history and women's studies at MSCD. A reception will be held in the MSCD history department office, West Classroom Building Room 263, immediately following the lecture.

Weird. Funny. Disgusting. Bad art or a masterpiece? The sculpture "The Teddy Bear's Picnic," by Metropolitan State College of Denver student Karen Martin is receiving a definite reaction from students and faculty.

A stuffed yellow bear seems to enjoy a meal of a smaller stuffed bear covered with red drops of"blood." A small, bloody teddy foot bangs out of the dining bear's mouth and red drops dot the floor around the artwork.

"There is always a crowd around this piece," said Susan Josepher, chair of the

Cathy YenSchwartz/The Metropolitan

'The Teddy Bear's Picnic'

_,_

MSCD art department. "That's wonderful!

People are thinking, questioning and reacting."

A group of students from Molholm Elementary School in Lakewood who viewed the art had mixed reactions.

A 6th grader said, "It's sad, the bear being eaten by another."

"Cool," one of the young visitors said.

"Awesome!"

"I don't like it. It's crazy," proclaimed another youngster.

The sculpture has prompted various written responses. Comments are added daily near the sculpture. An ode to Metro art, poems, responses, responses to the responses, and even sheet music have been put up on the wall.

Kathy Taylor, a senior at MSCD, frequently views the sculpture.

'The first time I walked by this I thought, how weird, how sick, how gross," she said.

"Now I'm interested in all the comments.

It's offensive to look at, but then you read what it's about. The person who came up with this is practically a genius. I come here everyday to read."

Brian Dreith, MSCD art professor, assigned the "Bad Art Project" for his Design Processes and Concepts II course. The assignment was to create an original sculpture that epitomizes bad art to the artist.

"This is · the first time I've done this project," Dreith said. "It's nice that the response is so widespread, that there is so much discourse. This causes students to define and even defend their art."

Armando Gingras, MSCD associate dean of Letters, Arts and Sciences, questioned

Cathy YanSchwaittlThe Metropolitan

Brian Dreith, MSCD art professor, explains his 'Bad Art' assignment to Larry Johnson, MSCD Dean of Letters, Arts amd Sciences.

Josepher about the artistic validity of the piece "when a student brought up a concern." The nature of the bad art project was then explained to him. "It doesn't in the least offend me, I would hope there is a deeper message .. . cannibalism or something."

Gingras said.

Martin said that she had been told that Gingras had inquired about the artist and instructor as there had been several complaints about the piece. She said that Gingras had asked that the display be taken down.

"She (Josepher) let them know that it was an art project and this is the reason why it was here. And then they (the dean's Qffice) understood," Martin said.

Larry Johnson, MSCD de~ of LefWs,

Arts and Sciences, said, " People express their feelings through their art."

"I tried to do something very opposite of my personality and opposite of what I would think would be good art," Martin said. "And the thing is that the assignment was to be bad and as we did the assignment, we all found out that if you 're really bad in your art, you can be really good. It's very difficult to have bad composition and bad theme when you have to be creative."

"I don 't think it is bad art. This is funny," Josepher said. " VanGogh was considered bad art in his time."

THEMETROPOLITAN

OPtED Dave Plank The camera pans across a coffee table littered with copies of "Fortune" and "Forbes," then past an open leather briefcase next to a set of Mercedes Benz keys.

Finally it settles on the angst-ridden face of a wealthylooking 35-year-old white male. "What was I supposed to tell my secretary," he sniffs. "That the senior VP of marketing has hemorrhoids?"

Two executives who look just like the guy with hemorrhoids stand in a doorway looking out over an office filled with happy, productive worker bees at their computer terminals. One is clearly amazed by what he sees.

"I don't get it, Marv," he says sorrowfully. "I bought two dozen P.C.s, spent two weeks training my department to use them, and our productivity hasn't gone up a bit. What's wrong with my people?"

Marv smiles knowingly. "Well , Steve," he says, "maybe you haven't got the wrong people. Maybe you've got the wrong computers."

Steve is devastated, and Marv savors his compadre's misery. Steve picked the wrong computers, and it won't be long now before even his grandmother won't return his calls. Marv keeps smiling, secure in the knowledge that soon he'll be tinkling in the executive washroom with the big boys. Yessir, Steve will be lucky if he can get a job parking cars after this boo-boo.

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the boardroom, Madison Avenue has discovered corporate paranoia.

Now the real secret to corporate success is out.

Forget about Ivy League degrees and memberships at the right athletic club. Forget about having your BMW serviced atthe same place as J.B., the chairman of the board. If you want to get to the top of the company ladder now, you'd better pick the right toothpaste anq don't forget that the upper echelon of any Fortune 500 company is a hemorrhoid-free echelon.

This trend, of course, comes as a surprise to no one.

After Ivan Boesky and Michael Milken had their little, uh, problems, Wall Street started to realize that success needed to be found - gasp ! - legitimately, without any impropriety, immorality or illegality. It was a dark day on the street where fortunes are won and lost and won again before 10 a.m.

Then the anti-dandruff shampoo manufacturers of America came to the rescue, and "No more flakes!" replaced "Buy junk bonds!" as the battle cry of countless MBAs marching off to war in the corporate trenches. .A well-groomed , dandruff-free 33-year-old man gazes out at us from the pages of "GO." The Manhattan skyline forms a backdrop on two sides (a corner office, naturally) and he reveals to us lucky readers the secret of his success: "Before I got the Wizard of Wall Street, I was too busy earning a living to make any money."

The "Wizard" is the digital daytimer gracing his right hand. On a blowup inset of the glorified calculator appears the message "call Yachts-A-Us aboutthat38-

foot sloop."

I can hear pulses quickening in corporate restroom stalls all over America now. "My God," shudder the squatting Yuppies. "How w ill I remember where to buy my sloop? I'll bet that bastard Winbury in Marketing has the Wizard of Wall Street already!" Pocket tape recorders are whipped out of Armani breast pockets, and the words "mental note ... pick up wizard" echo off urinals and sani-dry machines in high rises everywhere.

I suppose this is no different than zit-potion commercials blaring out at teen-agers from MTV, really . It was just a matter of time before somebody realized that the money/power/prestige-hungry upwardly mobile among us suffer from the same doubts and insecurities we all do, albeit with a horribly psychotic twist.

Why, I personally know 1O or 15 people with business degrees who are still working for $5 an hour at the jobs they've had since high school. I just didn't know it had anything to do with their deodorant or flossing habits.

I thought there were just too darn many of 'em. Not everybody can work for IBM. Where all of this leaves us stinking liberal arts majors with dandruff and rotting teeth and no place to buy our sloops is another question. How are we supposed to know what stuff to buy? Wait. I know.

The camera pans across a coffee table littered with copies of "Hustler" and the "National Enquirer," then past an empty six-pack of Schafer's and a set of Chevy Vega keys. It settles on the angst-ridden face of an overweight, unshaven 35-year-old. He belches, then says, "What was I supposed to tell my boss? .. ."

LETTERS Senator defends student government firings Editor, I must take issue with Mark Sandifer's letter, published in last weeks Met. Mark stated that he was fired from the Senate and that his attempts to attend Senate meetings failed because "meetings lasted only 20 minutes".

the student population. However, Mark failed in his own responsibility. If Mark was truly concerned about the night student population, he would have at least attempted to contact some member of student government. In the nearly two months this semester has been underway, Mark made no such effort.

Both these allegations are false. To date, no Senate meeting has been shorter than 1 1/2 hours and some have lasted four. Further, all but one of the meetings this semester were called to order no earlier than 3 :45 P .M. The other allegation, that he was ''fired" is clearly inaccurate. The record will reflect that Mark has not attended any of the Senate meetings this semester.

Therefore, as per Article IV, Paragraph One of the Senate by-laws, Mark was considered to have formally resigned from the Senate.

Student government needs students who are concerned and willing to commit time to the effort, and we are willing to review all of our meeting times in order to best accommodate our members. What student government has had too much of in the past and will not tolerate in the future, is students who run for office, never show up, and then lay the blame on someone else when they lose there seat. If we were to tolerate this we would not be representing the students. Senate is not a club, but an organization that requires commitment and sacrifice. Mark provided neither.

As Mark was a night student, he would have been a valuable addition to the Senate. It is clear that the Senate needs representatives from this segment of

Awareness needed to conquer homelessness Editor, I am writing about the homeless problem in Denver.

On Saturday October 14, I took part in a tour sponsored by the Hunger and Homeless Committee from CoPIRG. We toured the Samaritan House and Denver Rescue Mission; two of Denver's shelters that provide assistance to the homeless.

I was amazed at the number of services each shelter provides. For instance, the Samaritan House offers residency for 30 days to homeless women, families, and men under certain conditions. While people are residents, I learned about the vast amount of programs offered to them. A few programs offered include GED classes, English as a second language, job placement, and medical and mental assistance.

The Denver Rescue Mission prepares 500 meals a day and beds for 180 men at night. Of course, on cold nights, they try to bring everyone into the shelter.

Dental and optical programs are offered by volunteering doctors.

On the other hand, however, the shelters depend upon contributions and volunteers to provide sufficient assistance to the homeless.

This winter will especially be challenging for the Denver Rescue Mission because their food supply is only half of what it should be. This is why I am involved.

You can also become involved in this devastating problem by becoming a part of the Hunger and Homeless Committee. We meet Wednesdays at 2:30 p.m. in the CoPIRG office, Student Union Room 341.

Apathy, ignorance stall democratic process Editor, Twenty million blacks in South Africa are fighting for a right which most Americans take for granted, the right to vote. Why are we so apathetic with our most basic and important right of democracy? I don't believe that our lack of participation is due entirely to apathy but to ignorance of the issues and candidates. The proposed amendments on the ballots need a lawyer to he translated, but who wants to pay lawyer's fees just so you can vote. The running politicians aren't much better. The candidates spend more time telling you what's wrong with their opponent than what's right with themselves.

Is there a way to sort through all this mess and vote intelligently? Yes there is, educate yourself. You can

.-

educate yourself by reading the paper and watching the news on television. and if you have any questions YOU can stop by the CoPIRG voter action table.

CoPIRG will be in the Student Union Building MWF and In the North Classroom TTh from 11 :00 to 1 :00.

They will be there to answer any questions that you may have and will give you information on the upcoming election. They will help you understand the ballot and it's impact on your life. It's not difficult to vote but it does take time to learn about the different issues and candidates. Remember, it's not just your right to vote it's your obligation.

CCD sponsors free evening of tricks and treats Dianne Fujiwara The Metropolitan

It'll be a scene straight out of a Gothic novel: a pale moon rising over the pointed roofs of dark, shuttered houses, the cold fog rising in the damp autumn air.

Things will be going "bump" in the night on the Ninth Street Park the evening of Oct. 26, but most of the bumping will be done by tiny goblins jostling for treats.

Between the witching hours of 5 and 7 p.m., imps and demons will be forking over such forbidden delights as raisins and candy from the porches ofthe old houses. Mummies and werewolves will distribute pencils, erasersandringsforthemoredown-to-earth trick-or-treaters.

For those who don't have to be in their crypts before dusk , there will be games, mimes and a costume contest at St. Cajetan' s from 5 to 8 p.m. and a Halloween dance from 8 to 11 p.m. For this one night only, vampires and ghouls will have to drink cider, hot chocolate and lemonade instead oftheirusual AB negative. But hey, Halloween comes just once a year.

The best part is, it won 't cost you an arm and a leg. It's all free, whether you 're from the Auraria student "body" or a neighborhood haunt.

Creepy creatures of any age or stage of decomposition are invited to "The Halloween Scene," which is sponsored by those friendly spirits at Community College of Denver Student Activities.

ARTS Susan Kientz The Metropolitan

One of Metropolitan State College of Denver's leading professors has been recognized as the state's finest educator in her field.

Susan Josepher, chair of the MSCD art department , was honored Oct. 6, in Breckenridge, as the Colorado Art Educator ofthe Year. In addition, Josepher will receive national recognition and is a finalist in the Western Region Art Educator of the Year competition. The national winner will be named in November.

To Josepher, the honors represent recognition of her 20 years of work in the art field. "It means colleagues have thought enough of you with this award and that you have achieved on many different levels," she said.

Josepher was awarded the honor because of her outstanding contributions made to art education in the state.

The MSCD art department places 97 percent of their graduates in art education.

This percentage is made possible because Josepher continually stays in contact with school districts throughout the front range.

"I couldn't have this award without the students at MSCD," Josepher said. "The students here are goal oriented, mature and

thinking, feeling people."

Josepher also served as president of the Colorado Art Education Association for three years and iS invited to consult for the Colorado ·Department of Education and school districts throughout the region. She broadly described her duties as president of the association - to encourage and help implicate kindergarten through grade 12 art education.

Furthermore, she provides leadership for teachers throughout the state and needs to understand trends in art and art development.

Aside from being the chair of MSCD's art department, Josepher also teaches art appreciation and art education.

Josepher has been teaching at MSCD since 1981. She attended New York's Brooklyn College, where she studied education and speech. She then attended the University of Colorado, where she earned her master's and doctorate degrees.

Before teaching at MSCD, Josepher taught art in New York City schools. She described the New York schools as good training.

"If you survive in New York schools, you can teach anywhere in the world," Josepher said.

Josepher decided to work in the art field at an early age. "Growing up in New York, I had most of my art education in the streets, museums and galleries," she said.· Asked what kind of art interests her most, Josepher replied, "I love everything.

Clthy V111Schwar1Z/The Metropoli1an

Susan Josepher 'Tm amazed with performances, ceramics, drawings, art history, the visual world or art from another culture just blows me away - everything is exciting."

As for future goals, Josepher said she

plans to continue to develop the name of MSCD's art department.

"I would like to build the reputation of this department as the finest art department in the state of Colorado," Josepher said. 0

The thrill of completion and the agony of construction. Ladies and gentlemen, it's the wide world of the Auraria Gymnasium renovations.

When completed, the total cost will be $4.4 million, 30,000 square feet of improvements to the old space and an additional 30,500 square feet ofnew space. Now that's some serious renovating.

That's a high price to pay for improvements. Is it worth it? Couldn't the money have been used for something else? Of course it could have been. Whenever money is involved, questions like that are always asked.

The Auraria Campus has been growing in all directions since its beginning 25 years ago. And now Auraria's main direction is up.

With the renovations to the gymnasium, the campus will have a top-notch college facility. A facility - even in the midst of

Olympic Festival

Auraria, fencers both get their point across construction - that impressed the U.S. Olympic Festival Committee enough for them to select Auraria as one of the possible venues for the Olympic Festival.

Now that Denver is one of the five finalists in the 1993, '94, or '95 festival sweepstakes, the Auraria Campus has high hopes of getting a number of events. At the present time, table-tennis and fencing will be the events held at Auraria if the festival comes to the Mile High City.

Dick Feuerborn, director of Campus Recreation, and Fred Fisher, executive director of the Denver Games Committee, have both said the possibility exists that Auraria may receive more than just tabletennis and fencing.

Table-tennis and fencing? Big deal, right?

So what? You'd rather go into the construction area and watch some paint dry, right?

Yeah, it's JUST table-tennis and fencing.

Table-tennis - or ping pong as it's known

to us laymen - and fencing, a sport that really gets its point across.

What excitement-seeking individual in their right mind would ever consider going and watching a bunch of people hit a small white-plastic ball back and forth with paddles that look like beavers tails; or watch a couple of competitors with over-grown toothpicks try and poke each other?

Neither table-tennis or fencing will rank high as spectator sports, but if the festival comes to Denver and the Auraria Campus, the competitors won't be just your run-ofthe-mill, rinky-dink ping pongers or frolicking face-covered fencers.

No, they won't; instead they will be the best. The best in the nation, some of the best in the world.

These two sports may not be the most exciting in the world, but if you go, you will see the best, how often can you say that?

If the nation's best Olympic hopefuls come to Denver, it will give people in this

area the chance to see them and marvel at their abilities. On Auraria, you won't be able to see the nation's fastest human or the longest jumper or the best lightweight boxer or even the best lacrosse team. But you will be able to see the nation's best table-tennis players and the nation's best fencers.

The Auraria Campus is making another step in the upward direction. If the best table-tennis players and the best fencing competitors come to the campus to participate in the Olympic Festival, that will be another feather in Auraria's cap.

Table-tennis and fencing won't be the most exciting events of the Olympic Festival, but they will be the best in the nation in their sport and, if the festival comes to Denver, the only place to see them in action will be on the Auraria Campus.

The Auraria Campus, like the fencers, is getting their point across - it's upward and onward for Auraria.

A press box view of the World Series

The key to the sweep was the 'O' .factor The Cincinnati Reds and their fans are probably still celebrating their stunning championship sweep over the Oakland A's.

The vaunted A ' s, unmatched talent, the defending world champs, a team on the verge of a "dynasty." How could this have happened?

How doesn't matter, the fact that it did happen is all that matters.

The series, as always, had many stories, heros and goats. But one story sums up the series best - the "O" factor.

0 as in Jose Rijo, the series MVP. His dominating pitching performances in games one and four were the key to the Reds' victories. The MVP was an easy choice.

But Rijo wasn't the real "O" factor.

The real "O" factor is the story of two players: Jose Canseco and Chris SabO.

The vowel at the ends of their names is where the similarities end.

Canseco is arguably the best player in the game today. His numbers speak for themselves, but he feels he must do some talking as well. Power, speed, arm strength - the whole package.

Sabo, a good third baseman, fairly decent

statistics and a player who shys away from the limelight.

Statistically, physically and talent-wise, Sabo doesn ' t come close to matching Canseco.

However, in the World Series it was Sabo who dwarfed Canseco - in every aspect of the game.

Canseco continued his nonchalant antics all the way through the series, refusing to give the Reds any respect. After the game

two loss, Canseco cockily declared, "that means maybe they'll extend the series six (games)."

Sabo, all the way through the series, always said the right things - giving credit to his teammates, never saying that the A's were dead, always modestly deflecting all the praise.

While Canseco was talking and taking up space in the rightfield, Chris Sabo was ripping Oakland pitching and becoming a human vacuum cleaner at third base - sucking up every ball hit to him: If it weren't for Rijo, Sabo would have been the MVP. But for the Reds, Sabo was a different kind of MVP. Sabo - a man who isn't very comfortable with publicity, a man who just loves to play the game. His passion and fiery com-

petitiveness are refreshing when you look at many modem-day athletes who appear to be on the field only to pick up a paycheck.

Maybe Canseco falls into that category.

There are many differences between Sabo and Canseco, but the main thing that separates them isn't their talent or their number.

It's something that was the underlying difference between the Reds and A 's and maybe what was the key to the Reds victory.

ATTITUDE. Chris Sabo' s greatest attribute is his great attitude. Canseco' s greatest flaw may be the same thing: his attitude.

Sabo did his talking on the field and it was loud and clear. Canseco couldn't let his performance do his talking for him, because no one would have heard him.

Now if we could get Marge Schott to shut up everything would be just dandy.

SPORTS RIEFS MSCD women's soccer team wins championship The Metropolitan State College of Denver women' s soccer team defeated the University of Denver 2-1, Oct. 23, and in the process chalked up the Colorado Athletic Conference regular season championship.

The Roadrunners will conclude their regular season schedule this weekend in California and then the CAC Tournament will begin Oct. 31.

On Oct. 27 the 'Runners will play Chapman College from Orange, Calif. and on Oct. 28 California State Polytechnic State University-Pomona wilJ be the 'Runners' opponent.

Since MSCD are the regular season champs, the CAC championship will be held at the Auraria Field. The championship game is slated for Nov. 3.

--

MSCD women's volleyball loses six straight The women's volleyball team of Metropolitan State College of Denver marched into the state of Illinois for the MikasaFlyer Festival Tournament as winners of 10

It's sink or swim for MSCD in 1990-91 of their last l I games and a 20-9 overall record. They left with a six-game losing streak.

On Oct. 27, the 'Runners will try and get back on the winning track when they play Colorado Athletic Conference foe, Colorado Christian University at the University of Denver Fieldhouse at 2 p.m.

Chris Hines, outside hitter for the 'Runners was named to be all-tournament team.

Hines, from Petaluma, Calif. is the only senior on the squad.

Michael J. Stephens The Metropolitan

The Metropolitan State College of Denver men 's and women' s swim teams are preparing to make a splash in 1990.

Last year, the men and women finished second and fourth, respectively, in the lntermountain Swim League.

Head Coach Steve Hadley said the men's team will be lead by senior Jeff Neary, a breaststroke specialist, who qualified for the nationals two years ago and barely missed qualifying last year.

Two other Roadrunners to look out for this season will be senior Brian Reed butterfly and free style - and senior diver Dane Sandoval.

The women's team, also coached by Hadley, will be lead by sophomore Becky Kralik who qualified for nationals in her freshman year in the individual medley and butterfly. Two freshman recruits Janice Strickland, an all-around swimmer, and Cory Douglas, diving, will also be strong contributors.

On the men's side, Hadley feels the 'Runners' strongest attribute is depth.

"We have 23 real strong performers," Hadley said. "We're allowed 18 in a meet, so we have lots of depth."

The women, on the other hand, lack depth

MSCD men's soccer team to try and win title The Metropolitan State College of Denver men's soccer team will try to wrap up the regular season Colorado Athletic Conference title this weekend.

The Roadninners will play Westminster College from Utah on Oct. 26 and CAC rival Regis College on Oct. 27. Both games will be played at the Auraria Field with the Oct. 26 game scheduled for 3 p.m. and the Regis game for 2 p.m.

The 'Runners' overall record now stands at 8-5-1 with a 7-2 record in CAC play.

If the 'Runners win the title they will host the CAC Tournament.

Brian Reed, of MSCD's swim team, refines his butterfly stroke, in preparation for the upcoming season. but make up the difference with higher caliber participants.

"On the women's team we have l4quality performers, but were a little thin in depth," Hadley said.

The men's and women's teams practice daily from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. at the Auraria swimming pool.

Coach Hadley encourages any one interested in a tryout to stop by during practice.

The men and women will have their first meet Nov. 3,atAurariaagainstthe University of Colorado.

SPORTS

It's conference time for area schools Jim Mack The Metropolitan

The Colorado Athletic Conference is loaded with talent on both sides of the ball: men's and women's.

CAC is a non-football conference, designed to get women's and men' s teams in the same conference and produce more local competition.

Women's teams include the Colorado Christian University, the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, the University of Southern Colorado, Regis College, the U.S. Air Force Academy, University of Denver and Metropolitan State College of Denver.

Men's programs include the same teams as the women's, with the exception of USAFA, who chose not to participate. The Fort Lewis College men's and women's programs will begin CAC competition in 1991-92.

Bill Helman, MSCD athletic director, said that to be considered a CAC sport at least four teams must participate in that sport.

To be included in the women 's conference, schools must have volleyball and basketball teams. Optional sports for schools include soccer, tennis and softball for women.

To participate on the men's side, schools must have basketball and soccer teams.

Other sports in the CAC include golf and tennis.

"These schools have to have these sports," Helman said. "They draw the most attention.''

Mike Grose, information director of the conference, said that the CAC is very competitive and on the rise. ~'We want the conference to be tough and become recognized," Grose said. "We 're trying to get these teams some national exposure. It's getting there, but it takes time to earn respect."

Women compete in all possible sports with the exception of softball - which was dropped this year- and the men are included in everything except golf. Grose recognizes the talent at MSCD. "Men's and women's soccer have a shot at winning the (CAC) title," Grose said.

"Right now, volleyball is very competitive also."

It appears as if the women's programs will remain the same for now, but CAC Commissioner Irv Brown said that men's sports may expand. "Baseball has the best chance to be added," he said.

Brown is very blunt when asked what his main goals for the conference are.

"I want to get (CAC) on TV," Brown said.

Denver still in running for¡the 1993-95 Olympic Festival Dale Shrull Sports Editor

The field has been narrowed to five cities vying for the 1993, 1994 and 1995 OJympic Festivals and Denver is one of the finalists.

The U.S. Olympic Festival Committee announced that a different city would be selected for each of the three years. Besides Denver, the cities are Miami, Baltimore, St. Louis and San Antonio.

If Denver is selected as a site for one of the festivals, the Auraria Campus will be one of the venues for competition.

After the Festival Site Selection Committee toured the Auraria Campus Sept. 17 it was decided that the gymnasium could be

used for table tennis and fencing competitions.

According to Fred Fisher, executive director of the Denver Games Committee, the possibility exists that Auraria could be used for more than just the two events.

Fisher said that the decision of whether or not more events will be held at Auraria will be made after the gymnasium renovation is finished.

"When we showed (the Festival Committee) the facility, they. understood that it was under construction at that point," Fisher said, concerning the $4.4 million worth of improvements being made to the Auraria Gymnasium. "I have the feeling that it will be a really nice facility," he said.

Another factor that may play a role in

Auraria being granted more events is its location. "We'd like to have some things close to downtown so people could walk over and watch the competitions," Fisher said.

The event, Fisher said, is generally held for IO days in July and he doesn't anticipate any overcrowding problems at Auraria.

"You do have school during the summer, but that's the lightest term," Fisher said.

- Fisher said it won't put a Jot of pressure on Auraria because there isn 't housing available on the campus. The athletes who compete in the festival will be housed at the University of Denver and the University of Colorado if the festival comes to Denver.

The final site locations will be announced Feb. 1, 1991 and Denver can expect one

more visit from the Festival Committee. A seven-member contingent from the committee will visit the Denver area Nov. 30, but Fisher said that venues will not be discussed.

"Yes, we still have a lot of work left, but the technical part of it's pretty much behind us," he said. " We'veprovedthatwehavethe facilities."

The November visit will focus on community and corporate support in Denver and business plans, Fisher said.

After hearing that Denver was selected as one of the finalists for the Olympic Festival, Dick Feuerborn, director of Campus Recreation, voiced his satisfaction, " that's great.. . and hopefully we'll get some other events to be held at Auraria."

It's Leisure time for MSCD women's soccer team Michael J. Stephens The Metropolitan

The key to success for Metropolitan State College of Denver women's soccer forward Bridgette Leisure is to remain focused on her goals for the present and the future.

Leisure, a junior at MSCD, is an accounting major and the leading scorer for the Roadrunners this ~eason.

However, Leisure a graduate from Pomona High School, does more than just score points for the team.

Head Coach Ed Montojo said, "she contributes to the team by scoring, but she's also

Rick McOonald!The Me1ropolitan

Bridgette Leisure

the leader of the forwards and she sets a good example."

After the 'Runners' 2-1 victory over the University of Denver Oct. 23, Leisure now has scored 14 goals, has one assist for a total of 29 points. With that win MSCD won the regular season Colorado Athletic Conference championship. The 'Runners' overall record now stands at 9-6-1.

Leisure, one of only two returning starters from last year, also gives stability to the team under pressure situations.

"I have a lot of confidence, which I think helps to keep my teammates calm," Leisure said. "I will do whatever is good for the team

- if we win I feel good."

The calming effect in Leisure's life comes from her family.

"They're real supportive. Most of my family played soccer and they push me to get things done and stay focused," Leisure said.

However, Leisure's vision for the future doesn't include soccer. After graduation she plans to become a certified public accountant or a governmental accountant.

But in the meantime,with the regular season championship tucked away, Leisure and the ' Runners are preparing for the Colorado Athletic Conference Tournament. 0
