Pedestrians forced to be light on their feet have prompted Auraria to put a light on the street. The Parking Advisory Committee, responding to requests from students and faculty, recommended that traffic lights be installed at the intersections ofSeventh and Curtis streets, and Seventh and Walnut streets. Auraria put in a request with the city, and it got results. Lights are in place at both intersections and one - the light at Seventh and Walnut - is already working. The light at Seventh and Curtis should be operating as of Nov. l, according to Mark Gallagher, interim director of parking. Dean Wolf, director of the physical plant, said that the city will pay 100 percent of the cost, wbich he estimated at $25,000 per intersection. "The intersections are city streets, so it is their responsibility to pay for it," Wolf said. Gallagher said that the lights are not a result of any injuries on Seventh Street "Auraria asked the city to put up lights because it was difficult for pedestrians to cross on Seventh Street," Gallagher said. He added that the light at Walnut Street will make it easier to exit out of Lot E during rush hour. 0
Auraria names n¡ew vice president for Administration Kristi James The Metropolitan
A former director of the Auraria Book Center was appointed as Auraria Higher Education Center's executive vice president for Administration Oct. 25. JoAnnSoker, a45-year-old attorney who is currently serving as the director ofpersonnel for the state of Colorado, will begin at Auraria Dec. 0. 1 "One of my goals is to ensure the campus bas the highest quality service," Soker said. She will be working with the Auraria Board of Directors on long-term planning which will span the next 15 years. She said a critical concern in planning for the future is the shortage of space on the Auraria Campus.
The proposed Gateway baseball stadium site across from the Auraria Campus could bave an impact on the campus because of the high traffic volume on the streets, Soker said. She added that Auraria bas substantial parking needs and is hoping the Metro Stadium Authority will take Auraria' s needs into account. Soker is very familiar with the Auraria Campus.AftergraduatingfromGeorgetown University Law School, Soker worked in private practice in Denver until she was hired by the attorney general. In 1977, while working at the attorney general's office, she was hired as the lawyer for AHEC In 1983, Soker became AHEC's director of Special Projects and in 1986 took over as director of the Auraria Book Center. In 1987, Gov. Roy Romer appointed Soker to
her position as state personnel director. As executive vice president for Administration, Soker said she will serve as the bead staff person for the Auraria board. She will not be involved in academic functions, but she will be involved in managing and campus planning. Soker is replacing interim Vice President Richard Alfultis. Alfultis is returning to his former position as director of Parking and Transportation. Alfultis said that he enjoyed his position as interim vice president. "It has been an education," he said. Alfultis added that he is not disappointed to go back to parking. Alfultis, who was not a candidate for the pennanent position, filled in after Jim Schoemer resigned. Schoemer took a position as vice president of Administration at Regis College. 0

Changes in law school exam

A recent Metropolitan State College of Denver accountability report reconfirms the need for addressing minority academic concerns and continued establishment of programs targeting minority retention. While the Hispanic and black population consists of more than 25 percent of metropolitan Denver's total population, minorities account for only 13 percent of MSCD enrollment. According to a 1988 MSCD program proposal, minorities have only a 60 to 70 percent high school graduation rate while their white counterparts have a graduation rate of more than 80 percent. All state colleges are mandated to accept a 20 percent total enrollmentof"window" students. Those are students that couldn't meet the general admission requirements, but were allowed by this acceptance program. This fall, 27 percent of those
The Law School Admissions Council plans to change the Law School Admissions Test which is taken by more than 100,000 law school applicante each year. The LSA T exam will be changed in June 1991 due largely to the disproportionate representation ofLSAT candidates scoring high on the current 10-48 scale. Changes in the exam will include a 10-minute reduction in time per section to 35 minutes, the addition of one Logical Reasoning ..__ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __
state-mandated acceptances were at MSCD, while 14 percent of Metro's minority students met college admission requirements, said David Moore interim director of MSCD's Academic Assessment and Support Center. During the last four years, MSCD has begun to design and implement a number of programs aimed at minority recruitment. The accountability report, which comes out every fiscal year, is designed as a tool to monitor and improve the quality of student performance and programs. In the fall of 1989, MSCD began pre-assessment testing of all first-time, degree-seeking students. The examination's goal was to test students on their abilities in reading, writing and math so that correct academic course placement and advising would enhance student retention. The test is required of all incoming freshmen and is an encumbrance on registration. In each category of the 1989-90 pre-assessment test results, minorities fell below the overall passing percentages of other students taking the
test. Because minority students may begin college with a disadvantage, MSCD started the Freshman Year Program. The program provides students with a three credit-hour seminar and ongoing academic advising. Ethnic minorities are represented in the program (20-25 percent) more than in the overall freshman population (20 percent). Moore said that the retention rate for freshmen taking the seminar is 12 percent higher than for those who don't. Included in the '89-'90 accountability report were the results of student satisfaction surveys taken by continuing students and non-returning students. The continuing students were enrolled from fall 1989 to spring semester of 1990. Of the 1,035 student surveyed, 166ofthosewere minorities. And the of the minorities responding, 85 percent said they were satisfied with the preassessment testing. A higher percentage of minorities were dissatisfied with the Freshman Year Program (8 per-
cent) than were the rest of the respondents (6 percent). The Student Support Services Program is also designed to aid in retention and graduation rates. The program is available to low income or first-generation college students. According to an MSCD retention activity report, 81 percent of the l 60 students served by the program in 1989 were minorities. But according to the accountability survey, 3.7 percent of those minorities who participated were dissatisfied. A total of l,148 non-returning students were also surveyed, and minorities accounted for 593 of those. Financial aid was one significant issue that surfaced as a reason minority respondents left MSCD. Not enough money and difficulty in obtaining financial aid were reasons cited by 21 percent of the minorities. The report's summary ofMSCD assessment costs totaled $231,023 and is expected to reach $277,787 by fiscal year '92-'93. The costs include personnel, capital research, program evaluation, assessment and advising. 0

The Clean Air Colorado Campaign brought out the big guns Oct. 31 to announce revisions in the criteria for declaring high pollution days in the six-county Denver metro area. Flanked by Denver Mayor Federico Pena and John Leary, the program's deputy director, Gov. Roy Romer said that visibility would now be a main factor in declaring high pollution days for the region. The three spoke at a press conference at the Greater Denver Chamber of Commerce. The new standards, which go into effect Nov. l, mean that the Colorado Department of Health must issue a warning when the concentration of Denver's infamous brown cloud reaches acertain level. Currently, high pollution days are declared based on the levels of fine particulates and carbon monoxide in the air. "We've come a long way in our fight to reduce carbon monoxide pollution along the front range," Romer said. "We need to - --
-
make more progress on the brown cloud." But as Romer was quick to point out, the new standard could be misi n terp$e ted by people who will see the resulting increase of warnings as a sign of backsliding just months after the EPA lauded Colorado for its improvement in air quality. "Calling high pollution days based on visibility will probably mean more pollution days. This is a concern for some. There is a fear that it will hurt the clean air image

Mayor Federico Pena and Gov. Roy Romer speak at the Clean Air Colorado Campaign.
we're starting to get nationally," Romer said. Romer went on to assure the conference that the increased number of high pollution days will only be a reflection of higher standards. According to Anne Grady, Clean Air Colorado coordinator, the brown cloud technically has no center of concentrated pollutants
as carbon monoxideemmitted from cars tends to drift near the area where it was released. "That (Carbon monoxide) is a different problem," she said. "The new visibility standard affects the brown cloud, but it's likely that where one is reduced the others will be also." Auraria Higher Education Cen-
ter officials stated that nearly 10,000 cars park at the Auraria Campus each day with only 480 of them belonging to people who are carpooling. Romer was joined in his optimism by Pena who suggested that, in the long run, Denver will only stand to gain from the new standards. 0

Brown pushes for educational funding, diversity Armanda Olvera The Metropolitan
U.S. Republican Senate candidate Hank Brown said that he would like to see institutions of higher education encourage diversity - not discrimination - in their admissions processes and increased funding for education. Education should be a top priority at both the state and national levels of government, Brown said during a recent telephone interview. 'Tue key has to be a commitment to quality and a commitment to equal opportunity so that all of our citizens who are capable of doing the work at a college or university level can attend," he said. Brown said that he has supported educational issues in Congress. However, his opponent, Democrat Josie Heath recently accused Brown of voting for cuts in Pell Grant funding. Brown denies the accusation. "I have voted .against budgets in Congress that are over budget," he said. "When we've had individual votes on Pell Grants, it's one of the programs that I have supported." Brown said that one of the programs he sponsored allows employers to exclude $5,250 of educational assistance for em-
raising luncheon ployees from their taxable income. He said that allowing employers to help that brought in pay for their employees' college classes $600,000 because without being penalized is particularly ben- some of the people eficial at Metropolitan State College of involved had savDenver and other schools where many of the ings and loan scandal connecstudents work at part- and full-time jobs.

'Mile Zero' author coordinates reality and adventure in Key West Jiii Radecki The Metropolitan
Thomas Sanchez read part of his latest book, "Mile Zero," with a slight air of humor and sarcasm, at a book reading and autographing party at the Auraria Book Center Oct. 25. A crowd of 25 people attended the reading to see the elusive author speak and read parts of his book. Although few in the crowd had read the book, most were determined to read it in the future. "Mile Zero," named for Key West, which is the zero mile mark, and for the place Sanchez likes to call home, is a novel of a forgotten island and its potpourri of residents involved in seemingly mythical events, but also events based on actual incidents. The book, set in 1981 , has three main images that Sanchez said he based the s.tory on. The first is the space shuttle explosion, the second is the Haitian people fleeing in great boat loads and washing up on the shores of Key West, and the third is the often obvious drug dealings in a place that Sanchez describes as a "very corrupt, sleazy town." The main character, St. Cloud, is an American who once was an activist and
protested the Vietnam War. But now disen- crowd at the reading. chanted, he tries to escape the guilts of his Sanchez, 46, who began writing his first life in a bottomless bottle of Haitian rum. novel, "Rabbit Boss," when he was in his His meanderings around the small island ofKey West bring him in contact with a young Haitian refugee and a mysterious Southern woman. Justo Tamarindo, Sanchez' favorite character and the local detective, plays a devil's advocate-like character and forces St. Cloud to take a renewed interest in life. Sanchez' style of writing is similar to that of Mario Vargas Llosa's novel, "Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter." The descriptions of the island and characters take the reader to the hot, humid city and inside the liyes of each character. "I've never been east of St. Louis, but after reading Mile Zero, I've felt like I've lived in Key West for 10 years," said Vance.

early 20s, eventually had the novel published and it immediately became a best
seller. Once he was so poor he had to wear cardboard inserts in his shoes, then he was suddenly well-known and wealthy. At the book reading, he told the audience about how people acted toward someone who just had a book published. Of the two percent that are aware of the author, "one percent want to kick your ass and one percent want to kiss your ass," Sanchez said. Sanchez learned after his grandmother's death that she was one ofhis biggest fans. He was given her special box which contained two things - her favorite rosary and newspaper clippings from "Rabbit Boss." Sanchez, who is of Spanish-Portuguese background, said after his first novel was published the attention he received upset his "gyroscope" and he felt as though he was walking around with his heart tom out. He immediately pulled his book from print and then worked for the next 10 years on "Mile Zero." He just allowed the re-publication of "Rabbit Boss," and his only other novel "TheZootsuitMurders," is being re-released in June of 1991. Meanwhile, he is enjoying the publication ofthe work on which he labored through 1000 pages and 50 to 60 drafts. According to Aandahl, "Mile Zero" is "one of the best novels I've ever read." O

There is a program for everyone at Metropolitan State College at Denver- including senior citizens. The Metro-Meritus program allows senior citizens to attend classes as students on a non-credit basis. The students attend for free, but they don't receive a grade, and they aren't required to take any tests. 'The program allows senior citizens to gain their own knowledge, but they don't have the pressure of a regular college student," said Dennis Green, coordinatorofthe Metro-Meritus program. The program started in 1981, and Green was given the position of coordinator in September 1990. "When everyone starts hearing about this great deal, they are going to want to take a class," said Charles Bush, a senior citizen student. Bush 65, is a member of the Metro Listening Post. He heard about Metro-Meritus through a student and searched it out on his own. "It' s a real shame that this program is such a secret because I know the senior citizen community would love to take advantage of it," Bush said. According to Green, building the Metro-
Meritus program is going to be difficult, and he's trying to reach out to those who could benefit from it. Green is a sociology major with a geriatrics emphasis. Being the coordinator of the Metro-Meritus program is a work study that Green is finding to be very challenging. Rita Schuster, 66, heard about the program on the "Senior Citizen Showcase," on ·" public television. ''I've enjoyed every minute of my French classes, and I've fallen in love with all the helpful faculty I've dealt with over the last three semesters," Schuster said. Green said the students can attend any class on a space-available basis. Each student is required to get verbal approval from the class instructor. 'The only classes that are hard to get into are the freshman English classes and computer classes," Green said. "I've never once had any problems getting into a class," Schuster said. According to Green, the more popular classes are history, Spanish, computers and philosophy. "I find it pretty funny that I've approached teachers on getting into their classes, and they have no idea what I'm talking about," Bush said, "but they're always willing to help me." Marie Sevier, 66, said, " It's a great feeling to learn and not be pressured by tests." 0

Football club coach targets the individual player Kimberly Palmer The Metropolitan •
When Dan Hollander talks, people listen - especially the players on the Metropolitan State College of Denver football club team. And that's because he speaks from experience. At 5-feet-4-inches, 190 lbs., Hollander fills the position ofoffensive line and strength and conditioning coach for the club after playing on the team for two years. He is working toward a degree in psychology and adult fitness at MSCD and hopes to graduate this summer. Hollander's football career started at Lincoln High School in Denver where he was the first freshman to ever play on the varsity team. Hollander credits one incident in particular with setting the tone for his career. He was a freshman and the varsity team was doing a drill which required two players to go "one-on-one." Hollander said he took on a 6-foot-9-inch, 220 lb. starter - and beat him. c Hollander was 5-foot-2-inches, 140 lbs
at that time. "I knew then that I could do it," he said. "I never looked back." But it wasn't until college that Hollander, 22, was recognized for his athletic talent. After two years at Evergreen State College in Washington, where he didn 't play football, Hollander transferred to MSCD in 1988. "I went to Washington to get away from everything, including football, but I couldn't. I decided to come back and play. I hate' what ifs.' I don't want to live with those if I don't have to," he said. Once at MSCD, Hollander, who played right guard, earned first team all-conference in '88 and second team all-conference in '89, along with being recognized for having the best technique in the Colorado Football Conference. "I saw people out there with poor technique, and I took advantage of that. My goal was to be unique in a place where mediocre is the norm," he said. He uses those experiences to help him coach and said he tries to bring out things that were brought out in him. "A good coach is a teacher in a lot of senses. I try to help players see flaws and what to do to make it better," he said.
Head Coach T.J. Cole said that he and Hollander compliment each other with their different coaching styles. " Dan is methodical - everything he does has a logical reason. He teaches and I holler," Cole said. " My job is to yell and scream and make sure things get done. His job is to teach and motivate." One of the things Hollander does as a coach is try to interact individually with the players and he said that to be effective, he needs to think about the players' feelings and their individual attitudes. It's because of this, Hollander said, that he emphasizes the point that football isn't always team against team - rather, it's an individual against himself. "Football isn 't about hurting people, it's a game that teaches you about yourself and gives you confidence," Hollander said. Hollander hopes to graduate next summer and said he'd eventually like to work with athletes who are excelling in their sport and may need someone to "bounce things off of." He said he believes that although an athlete may be doing well in a given sport, he may still be very self-conscious and insecure. Aside from school, coaching and work-

Dan Hollander ing for Campus Recreation, Hollander also leads the cardiovascular training program for students and faculty at the University of Denver, and volunteers his time as a counselor for a 2-year-old autistic child. He said that working with kids teaches him more about himself than anything else does. "They're just little human beings who are exploring and living life. They help me to do that, too," Hollander said. 0

Maybe you could fund ASMSCD Student Government, at the 1990 rate of $56,000, for the next 1, 196 non-productive years • pay ASMSCD Student President Dan Holden, at $400 per month, to be dishonest
and corruptthrough fiscal year 15,948 •keep God from knocking off Oral Roberts 8.3 times • buy Auraria 4.5 parking structures just like the one we (almost) have now • ensure a pennant-contending Denver Major League Baseball franchise by offering twice their current salaries to Orel Hershiser, Wade Boggs, Dave Stewart, Cal Ripken, Rickey Henderson and Jose Canseco, and still have $35 million to spend on bats and balls· buy the state of Mississippi and throw a new coat of paint on it• put up 14,888 homeless Denverites in the Radisson Hotel (at $300 per day, room , board and expenses) for two weeks each this winter• buy those same 14,888 homeless persons 3.6 $1 ,250 Giorgio Armani suits each • get a 1980 Volkswagen Scirrocco tuned up every six months through the year 711, 735 • put steel-belted radials, at an average cost of $90 per tire, on 186, 111 cars (mounting and spin balancing not included, road hazard warranty extra) • buy McDLTs for everyone in New York City, Los Angeles and Chicago (fries extra)• buy one MX Missile and have it gift wrapped (shipping extra) •or buy out Bill Cosby and just barely have enough money left to get him on a plane out of the country.

GUEST EDITORIAL Amendment 1
Similar legislation in California has devasting effect Some proponents of Amendment 1 assert that California is "getting along just fine" since the passage some years ago of the anti-tax measure known as Proposition 13. The problem with such a glib analysis is that it is dead wrong. While Prop 13 didn't cause California to slip into the sea, it didn't exactly help it blossom either. California now $3.6 billion in debt. Butte County in northern California is broke. Some other counties, mostly rural and sparsely populated, are trying to avoid a similar fate. And, California has diminished an educational system that was perhaps the world's best. This came in a state that was in better overall condition than Colorado is now. A significant fact that should be kept in mind is that California had a fiscal safety net in place when Proposition 13 was passed. The safety net was in the form of a $3 billion to $5 billion surplus the state used to bail out some local governments and community colleges. It was especially sad for me to witness the deterioration that Prop 13 caused among California's schools. Before coming to Colorado I had devoted a good portion of my life to California education, having served for more than 25 years in various posts at two community colleges. As president of Mt. San Jacinto College, I saw first hand how an extreme measure such as Prop 13 eroded the quality of education in California. Saying that an anti-tax measure such as
Amendment 1 would not affect education in Colorado is preposterous. The first thing that happened to us in California was the loss of about one-third of our purchasing power at the college. Next, came the resignations of some of our better faculty and staff who left the state to continue their careers elsewhere. Then the more subtle effects appeared-reduced programs and services, reduced staff and library hours, few book orders for the library. Indeed, some public libraries have never recovered. What's so frustrating about these severe anti-tax plans is that they carry with them the potential to tear apart our systems of essential services and offer a relatively few dollars savings in return. Responsible leaders cannot afford to behave so capriciously. Colorado should be looking to build some of its services, not limitthem. We should be demanding that our state's educational system be made stronger, not weakened. For example, Colorado is one of the few states in the nation that does not fund adult literacy training. We have about 200,000 people in Colorado who lack even low-level literacy skills. Another 200,000 are estimated to be unable to perform such simple tasks as totaling a bank deposit entry and calculating a checkbook balance. This is an appalling social reality, and limits Colorado's ability to revitalize its economy. The Colorado Department of Education points out
that eliminating illiteracy in Colorado will, among other things, "play a significant role in marketing a new business image for Colorado, improving incentives for expanding existing businesses and locating new ones in the state, and promoting rural economic development." Without intervention, these types of problems undoubtedly will get worse in the years to come. Sadly, we in higher education in Colorado have become aware thatthere are growing numbers of students who need some type of remedial education before they can tackle the rigors of college or vocational training. This is a great challenge, not justforColorado of course, but for our nation as a whole. So, no matter how someone tries to dress it up, Amendment 1 is an extreme measure that will negatively affect growth, jobs and education in Colorado. Instead of considering such punitive measures, let's work together to offer a positive new direction for all of us as taxpayers. I think it is safe to say that many of the electorate who voted for Prop 13 now wish they had not. After experiencing the devastation caused by Proposition 13 in California, I find it inconceivable that we would wish to try a similar experiment in Colorado.
Dr. Dennis Mayer Colorado Mountain College president

LETTERS Amendment 1 will end bureaucratic feeding frenzy Editor, News Flash! Auraria's president and Board of Directors vehemently oppose taxpayer's rights (MET., 10/ 12 & 10/19) The Amendment One tax-limitation proposal scares hell out of the bureaucratic hogs gorging at the public trough. Betty Miller, Chair of that august body says we halfwitted students should leave the "hard decisions" up to our betters. Faculty Rep.Elizabeth Friot says we're all too ignorant to know what's best for us. Besides, Amendment One might affect her next raise. Yeah,. that one's keepin' me up nights too, Liz. MSCD President Brewer, who spent $30,000 (that's in American money) remodelling his office, worries the amendment will cut into his mad money. Meanwhile, a small group of self-serving, shortsighted students being lead by their noses, are whin-
ing that Amendment One might affect their personal access to public money too. But college ain't forever baby. When these kiddies are out in the real world, watching their first-job paychecks being eaten alive by exorbitant, arbitrary and ever-increasing taxation, they'll be humming a different hit. When you close that curtain on election day here's something to think about: Why is it the most vocal and vested opponents of Amendment One are big business, politicians and bureaucrats? The special interests are banking on students (and others) being too stwpid to figure out that voting no is simply a deposit in their bank accounts. Vote for YOU; vote yes on Amendment One.

Loss of Listening Post staffer a loss for Auraria Editor, AURARIA'S STUDENTS HAVE LOST A FRIEND .... in the person of Jack Mackey, victim of a malignancy, who for seven academic years has been Monday's Liening Post staffer in the Student Center. Jack must have toted a ton or two of fruit and peanuts for quick consumption by hungry students to whose joys and frustrations he listened as friend and mentor, with warm acceptance or gentle challenge. Always a giving man, Jack met students off campus for lunch, attended their recitals, helped with job portfolios, coached them for interviews, attended graduations and other celebrations, and listened to them by phone when appro-
priate. Jack had been a sales executive with Alcoa for some thirty years, in retirement bringing an unusually vibrant personality to academia where he "sold", every Monday, encouragement, affirmation, motivation, enrichment, to students gathered informally around the POST's table. Those students, and we fellow staffers, are grateful to have been associated with Jack, truly a fine gentleman. Each of us is the richer for his contribution to our lives.
Voter turn-out needs turning up, tuning in Editor, God bless America. This is the country that invented a democratic system of government that has been adopted, at least partially, by countries all over the world. The United States has, over and over again, gone to other countries to fight for democracy, and yet this country has the second lowest voter turn out rate of any democratic nation in the world. The percentage of voters who said they voted in the last presidential election was 50.2% . In the last congressional election (1986) the percentage of 18-24 year olds who said they voted was a pitiful 21.4% . Is this democracy? Is this a majority vote? How can we, as students and young people, demand our rights when we don't partake in the governance of this country? November 6th is election day. We will be deciding some of our national representatives as well as our governor and several proposed amendments that will greatly affect our future. If you would like to get more information on the proposals or the candidates on the ballot next Tuesday, come by CoPIRG's voter information table between 11 and 1 in the Student Union Monday, Wednesday and Friday and the North Classroom Tuesday and Thursday. Even if you don't come by the table, though, please take advantage of your right to make a difference and go out and vote.

Exhibit cuts to the bone Armanda Olvera The Metropolitan
Halloween arrived a week early at the Emmanuel Art Gallery. One piece at the new exhibit features a naked woman who is about to get sliced with a knife from her neck through her torso. Ariother work includes animal bones and raw meat sculptures. The show features ·the works of 13 artists from the University of Colorado at Denver fine arts faculty and opened with a reception Oct. 22. One !!xhibitor is CU-Dart professor Charles Moone. One of his pieces is part of an attention-grabbing collage titled, "Psyche and Teche." This mounted piece shows a doctor holding a scalpel ready to make a long incision on a naked woman. The flesh wil1 be cut vertically starting from her neck. The picture reveals a close-up of her lower body nude. Moone highlights this picture with a few explanations. He said that the feminine gender personifies the Earth, and that the two genders are out of balance. "We've given a great deal of power to men and given little power to emotional intelligence . . . " he said. "Men tend to dominate women and carve them up as property."
· Another artist is CU-D professor Lorry Huffman. This is the Wyoming native's first semester of teaching sculpture at Auraria. Huffman's " Packaged Deal" sculpture displays antelope bones and frozen, packaged raw meat on separate dinner plates. The dinner setting is on an elaborate velvet tablecloth. Huffman explained that the concept has more to do with thinking about the consumption of meat than about eating meat. "As consumers, we don't know exactly where the meat comes from," she said, adding that the consumer doesn't really know how animals are treated or raised. Huffman said that she is not a vegetarian. Huffman's display, "Women & Children First" includes a stack of a dozen life preservers on the gallery's floor. Each jacket has 50 pounds of sand in it. Huffman described the piece as representing American society. "American children are important, yet they receive the poorest health and education assistance." Huffman said. "As a result, our children are suffering." This explains why each jacket is intended for the women and children. The CU-Dfinearts faculty exhibit can be seen at the Emmanuel Gallery at 10th and Lawrence streets, until Nov. 15. The exhibit is free and open to the public. For more information, call 556-8337. 0

SPORTS A view from the press box
Nuggets going nowhere, but fast
Dale Shrull Sports Editor The Denver Nuggets - the new Denver Nuggets - will begin the Paul Westhead era of this beleaguered organization on Nov.
2. Now that Doug Moe is out of basketball and out on the golf course collecting a paycheck from the Nuggets, Westhead has brought more than a fast-paced, run and gun style - he's brought a sneaker-full of questions and doubts to the Mile High City. Now that the exhibition season from the fiery abyss is over, fans are scratching their heads, catching their breath and regaining their ability to focus after watching the indoor track meet the new Nuggets call basketball. The 200-point plateau will surely be eclipsed before the season is over and it's a good bet that the Nuggets won't be the ones who break the double-century mark. The advertisjng campaign has saturated the local market. Promotions designed to pique the fans' interest. The motto for the new Nuggets: ''Turn 'em loose." Turn 'em loose - to wreak havoc on gasping, breathless opponents who can't keep up with the run-and-gun, shoot-'tilyou-drop Nuggets, right? This will be an embarrassing season.
Teams will be pouring in points like Norm downing brewskis at Cheers after a hot day. Yes, the Nuggets will be tickling the twin~ to the tune of a 100 and a half or more points agame as well, but will they win? Or will they just be the laughing stock of the NBA? They won't win much and losing won't be the embarrassment, but how they'll lose. It's hard to decide if opponents will be breathless after playing the Nuggets because of the fast pace or their laughing at such a ridiculous basketball philosophy. Westhead has stuck to his guns. When asked if he had an alternate plan, Westhead - right eyebrow raised - replied, "to go faster." The season will be the telling time for Westhead and his system. When Moe was at the helm of the Nuggets he was often criticized for his running game, but he silenced most of his critics by winning. With the home court advantage so prominent in the NBA, how many games can the Nuggets win on the road? Moe's teams won in the neighborhood of 10 games a season on the road, do you thing Westhead with his system and young team will win that many? It's doubtful. And can the high-speed
Nuggets, accompanied by the high altitude of Denver, secure enough wins to put people in the seats. There will be fans in the seats of McNichols Arena, but most will be there to watch Magic, Michael, Larry, Isiah, Charles, Karl, Akeem and Mr. Robinson come to the Denver neighborhood. The inevitable high-scoring games will bring fans in to watch the big names, some will come to see if Michael Jordan can score I 00 points. He might. Magic Johnson may record 50 assists against the Nuggets. Anything is possible. When this season comes to an end, it may mark the most embarrassing chapter in Denver sports history. Even worse than the Broncos, January and February Super embarrassments. Records will fall, morale will fall, attendance will fall, answers will fall, Doug Moe's putts may even fall. But for the new Nuggets it will be an ugly fall and winter. Will Westhead fall? And if he does will he have to announce his own firing? Th~se will be some of the questions being asked by mid-season. In all likelihood, Westhead will last through the season. This pathetic excuse of an organization will have to keep Westhead
for a while. To fire Westhead would be admitting stupidity. How many more blunders will it take before the Nuggets' owners will have to admit they're stupid? It doesn't matter everyone already knows it. Everything the Nuggets have done in the recent past has been an embarrassment. Now they' II have the team and the results to back it up.
Halloween words for the weak It may be too late"for this Halloween but here are some costume ideas for the world of sports: Paul Westhead: as George Jetson. Before the season is over he'll be screaming, "how do you stop this crazy thing!" Marge Schott: a witch; no costume required. Herschel Walker: as the invisible man. John Elway: as a journalist, thenhecould have told us in his own words what he gave out for Halloween. Victor Kiam: as~ werewolf, no shaving required. George Foreman & "Buster" Douglas: as small countries. The Nuggets owners: as, of course, the three stooges 0

November 2, 1990
MSCD men's basketball-ready to roll in 1990-91 Jim Mack The Metropolitan The Metropolitan State College of Denver men's basketball team is ready to make the best of a rebuilding year, said head coach Bob Hull. The Roadrunners lost six players, four of them starters, from their 1989 squad that finished with a 28-4 record. Those gone from the squad include last seas路o n' s two leading scorers, Gene Edwards and Shun Tillman. Edwards averaged 20 points and five rebounds per game while Tillman tallied 18 points and nine rebounds per outing. Hull realizes how important these players were to his team. "You don't lose guys like that and not be affected," Hull said. "They were both AllA mer i can' experienced players." Hull is entering his sixth year as head coach of the 'Runners and remains optimistic but realistic about his team's chances to perform as well as they did last year. "Those kinds of seasons don't come
around very often," Hull said. "This is a transition year for us, but our guys are ready." The Roadrunners' performance this year also may be affected by Proposition 48. Prop 48 casualties are those who do not meet the minimum requirements for eligibility of 700 on the SAT or 18 on the ACT. They are not allowed to perform for at least one year. In July, Hull learned that the scores of his top two recruits from the Denver area fell below the Proposition 48 requirements. Anthrius Carter from Overland High School and Kendale Johnson from Manual High School will not be in the 'Runners' 1990-91 plans. Hull said that they have enrolled in junior colleges and may be back next year if they accumulate enough college credits. "They could have helped us this year," Hull said. "You don't expect many freshman to contribute, but these guys may have. They were both first team All-State from Colorado and we love Colorado kids." Hull is disappointed with losing Johnson and Carter but he is happy with some of his other signees. According to Hull, MSCD will get a boost from former Lutheran High School and University of Alaska-Anchorage forward Tim Moser, a 6-foot-4-inch senior and brother of former University of Northern Colorado star Toby Moser. Tim requested and was granted release from his scholarship at Alaska-Anchorage; thus making him immediately eligible to play for the 'Runners. Hull also signed two players from

junior colleges: 6-foot-5-inch junior guard Darin Dahl and 6-foot-6-inch junior forward Florian Miller. Hull believes that these players can help his team immediately. "Tim Moser looks good. Florian Miller from Chicago also looks very good," Hull said. "Those two stand out the most." Hull believes that the competition will be very strong within the newly formed Colorado Athletic Conference. "The league is very balanced this year. (The University of) Southern Colorado will be very good," Hull said. "(The University of) Denver will have lots of people back and Regis (College) is always tough." These teams are tough according to MSCD coaches and they will have to play them on opposing floors.
Dennis Smltl/The Metrcpoitan
Construction in and around the Auraria Gymnasium will prevent MSCD from playing there before Feb. I. "That will hurt us," Hull said. "How much, I don't know. It's much easier to play in the gym that you practice in. You get comfortable and confident. Playing in all different places will affect us." When asked to describe his team in one word, Hull hesitated and replied "team." "We play well as a team. We don't have any stars, but we play real well together," Hull said. MSCD will open its 1990-91 campaign on Nov. 5 against the Mexican National Team at West High School at 951 Elati. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. 0

RIEFS MSCD volleyball
team to play in Premier Tournament
..
The women's volleyball team of Metropolitan State College of Denver '!_Vill be squaring off against some of the nation's best Division II teams this weekend in the Premier Tournament at the Air Force Academy. .The Roadrunners whipped Colorado Christian University on Oct. 27, 15-9, 15&and 15-2. ThetoumamentwillbeginFriday,Nov. 2 and will last until Sunday, Nov. 4. Following the tournament, the 'Runners will have one more game, against the University of Denver Nov. 7, before the Colorado Athletic Conference Tournament begins Saturday, Nov. 10.
Women's soccer endures nightmare The Metropolitan State College of Denver women's soccer team, fresh off their regular season Colorado Athletic Conference championship, got a rude awakening in California over the weekend. The Roadrunners ended their regular
season by dropping two games to their California foes. On Oct. 25, California State University-Dominguez Hills erupted in overtime and beat the 'Runners 3-0. On Oct. 28, the 'Runners were beat, 4-2 at the hands and feet of California Polytechnic State Universit)'.-Pomona.
Scoring records fall at Yunger's feet With the conclusion of the regular season, Tim Yunger is poised to break alJ the scoring records at Metropolitan State College of Denver in the men's soccer program. Yunger now has 14 goals on the season, tieing the school mark set by Joe Okoh in 1985. Ynuger's 11 assists and 39 total points are already school records. Greg Smith, sports information directorfor MSCD, said he believes that Yunger is a legitimate All-American candidate in . Division II. With the Roadrunners 路 entering the Colorado Athletic Conference Tournament, Smith said that any points that Y unger tallies will still be counted toward his season total. Needing only one goal to break the record, Yunger "has an excellent chance of breaking the school record for goals," Smith said.

sitting on the throne. The Roadrunners clinched the title after squeezing by Regis College I -0 Oct. 27. Freshman Tim Evans scored the only goal of the game mthe first half and the ' Runners' defense made the goal hold up the rest of the way. Mike Najar, the 'Runners' sophomore goalie, recorded his third shutout of the season and lowered his goals-against average to 0.93. Najar has an 8-3 record when he's in the net for the 'Runners this season. Following the win over Regis, the ' Runners will enter the CAC Tournament as the No. I seed and host school. The championship game is scheduled for Nov. 3 at 2 p.m. on the Auraria Field. The 'Runners record now stands at 10-51 overall and 8-2 in the CAC. The 10th victory marked the first time in school history that MSCD has reached double-digit win plateau. The ' Runners' previous high was eight victories in 1985, 1986 and 1987 each. "This was a great win for us," Dennis Daly, the 'Runners' second-year head coach said. "It was a physical game but we showed our poise and made the plays when we needed." 0
