Trial date set in MSCD age discrimination case David O. Williams News Editor A March 25 trial date has been set in an age discrimination case filed against Metropolitan State College ofDenver by the former director of Accounts Payable.

The lawsuit, filed Aug. 31, 1989 in U.S. District Court, alleges that Marguerite Shackelford, 60 at the time, was coerced into retiring Sept. 1, 1987.

The suit, which also names the Trustees of the State Colleges as a defendant, claims that Shackelford, on the basis of her age, was demoted and then her new position was eliminated.

The complaint alleges that at the time of Shackelford's demotion, MSCD was "hiring , transferring and promoting younger

employees in her department."

age discrimination by the college.

"In August, 1987, James G. Vanderhye, acting on behalf of and with the full authority of Metropolitan State College (of Denver), did pressure, harass, and intimidate the Plaintiff into early retirement," the complaint stated. 路

On Sept. 11 of this year, the EEOC withdrew their suit, saying that their case duplicated many of the charges in Shackelford's suit. Shackelford is now the sole plaintiff.

Vanderhye, who is no longer with MSCD, was associate president of Business and Finance at the time.

Vanderhye, in his deposition, said that Shackelford missed too much work due to a knee injury she suffered and the subsequent surgery. He also said that every effort was made to ac.commodate her.

According to depositions given by Vanderhye, Percy A. Morehouse, Jr., director of Equal Opportunity, and Tim Greene, associate vice president for Budget/Personnel, Shackelford was offered a position in the president's office and was in no way pressured to retire when she did.

The Colorado attorney general's office, which is representing the college, stated that the "plaintiff was not discriminated against because of her age and she was not forced into early retirement. She elected to take an early retirement with full knowledge that she was under no pressure to do so."

On Sept. 27, 1989, the Equal Opportunity Employment Commission filed a second suit against MSCD. The EEOC suit sought injunctive relief to prevent further

Shackelford worked at MS CD from 1970 until her retirement and has stated that she fully intended to work 20 years and gain full retirement benefits.

She listed her damages as: Three years of the difference between the salary she would have earned and her retirement pay, reduced retirement pay, mental anguish and suffering, emotional distress, attorney's fees, and court costs.

She is seeking a settlement of $150,000.

The attorney general's office filed a motion for a summary judgment Oct. l , saying "there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and that the moving party (defendants) is entitled to judgment as a matter of law."

Shackelford ' s attorneys, Corporon, Keene and Hoehn, responded that the case is still a matter for a jury to decide.

Magistrate D.E. Abram has yet to rule on the motion.

A pretrial status confer~Jlce has been set for March 7. v ~ 0

~~tRIEFS Parking fines exceed $200,000 annually Glove drive gets underway Metropolitan State College of Denver students in the hospitality, meeting and travel administration department are organizing a glove drive to benefit the Samaritan House at 2301 Lawrence St. Samaritan House needs warm gloves that are in good condition formen, women and children. This is a special need, especially now that the weather is getting colder.

Artists given op路 portunity

路-路

The Denver Commission on Cultural Affairs is accepting applications from visual artists to create site-specific art work for Congress Park Swimming Pool and the adjacent playground area.

The following areas have been identified as potential opportunities for the integration of art: the bath house, the shelter/vending machine area, seating and/or lounge areas, and the fence surrounding the pool area.

A budget of $7,500 for the design, fabrication and installation of art is available. An additional $1,200-$1,500 may be available if art is also incorporated into the playground.

The art work is to be commissioned as part of the city's onepercent-for-art program.

Submissions must be received by 5 p.m. Friday, Nov. 30. For more information, call Shanna Lalley at 640-2678.

Weekend courses expanded Weekend Addition, MSCD's extended weekend course offering, will schedule classes Friday evenings and Saturdays beginning next spring semester.

Special hours have been scheduled to accommodate the nearly 1,500 students per semester who take advantage ofweekend classes.

Student IDs and parking permits will be available on Saturday, Jan. 10, JO a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Student Union. The offices of Admissions and Records, Financial Aid, and cashiers will also be open Jan. 12, 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on the frrst floor of the Central Classroom Building.

Carolyn Bauer The Metropolitan More than 2,000 Auraria students and personnel receive parking tickets each month totaling more than $200,000 a year ,but Metropolitan State College of Denver President Thomas Brewer isn't one of them.

Brewer, Community College of Denver President Byron McClenney and University of Colorado-Denver Chancellor John Buechner are the only people at Auraria who receive free parking, according to Parking System Manager Randy Ready.

Ready said that the number of student parking tickets may decrease with the opening of the new parking garage called the Parking and Transportation Center and its new debit card system.

"There will be 1,726 new spaces in the structure which is scheduled for a Jan. 22 opening," Ready said.

For $1 students will be able to purchase a debit card, and parking credits can be purchased for the card at machines in the Student Union and the transportation center.

"Actually, Auraria writes fewer tickets than other universities, mainly because our Jots are attended," Ready said. " Other

institutions of our size write two to three times the number."

An appeal process has been set up for ticketed students. Two referees hear oral appeals Monday through Friday from 11-11 :45a.m., and Monday through Thursday from 4:30-5:15 p.m.

There is aiso one referee to handle written appeals. Ready said approximately 80 tickets are dismissed each month.

Ready said that to eliminate another parking headache, Lot D, a large dirt parking lot, will have new entry/exit lanes placed 50 feet further west io eliminate the traffic bottleneck at peak times.

For students who want a more

permanent parking situation, Ready said there are I , I 00 semester parking permits issued each term for six permit lots.

Sixty percent of those spaces go to faculty and staff, but the remaining passes are renewable so that very few are available each semester.

Students are allowed to purchase the remaining passes the first day of orientation on a first come-first served basis.

"We had only 80 passes available this year," Ready said. "And there was a line of over 150 people 0 queued when we opened."

CCD hit with age discrimination lawsuit Kristi James The Metropolitan A lawsuit has been filed in federal court charging the governing body of the Community College of Denver with age discrimination.

The complaint filed by Fidel Tafoya, 58, against the Colorado State Board of Community Colleges and Occupational Education states that CCD discriminated against Tafoya because of his age when he applied for a position.

Tafoya alleges that CCD printing, the non-educational department that handles the school's printing, hired a 27-year-old who did not meet the job qualifications.

"The whole hiring process was a cover-up," Tafoya said.

According to Margy Walton, an assistant attorney general, Tafoya filed a complaint with the state personnel board charging CCD with discrimination on the basis of his age and national origin.

On Aug. 2 Tafoya lost that case because he could not prove dis-

crimination, Walton said. Tafoya did not appeal, but filed the age discrimination complaint in federal court.

"We are convinced that CCD did nothing wrong," Walton said.

A pretrial conference has been setforJan.17, 1991.Notrialdate has been set.

The complaint states that Tafoya wants the CCD printer position with back pay, including lost benefits, vacation, sick leave and life insurance.

Tafoya is seeking $300,000 in

compensatory damages , and $700,000 in punitive damages as well as court costs and previous attorney fees.

Tafoyasaidthathecannolonger afford a lawyer so he is defending himself.

There is a pending lawsuit against the Auraria Higher Education Center, Tafoya said. The pending suit is under investigation by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

CoPSHoP Vicki Engeman The Metropolitan

Hut me with your best shot She was intoxicated by the sight, sound and smell of it all. Valerie Baylie, a visitor to the Auraria Campus, drove into a traffic control gate and broke it. Uh oh.

Didn't anyone tell her it isn't hutting season yet?

Baylie told an APS officer that she was following a friend ' s vehicle onto campus. Both cars stopped at the parking hut. Bay lie' s friend explained to the hut-master that the two cars were together.

Theresa Castaldi, hut employee, opened the gate so that car one could pass through. Apparently unaware of parking-hut etiquette, Baylie in car two followed her under the gate. No dice. The gate lowered, hitting her windshield, which caused the arm of the parking gate to break off.

Baylie stated in the APS report that she "assumed she could just follow the first vehicle under the -

gate." Not a good assumption to make, especially here at Auraria.

The gate was repaired that same afternoon by the parking office.

Cost of gate repair was $35. Cheap thrills.

Key Notes It was a banner week for losing campus keys. Maybe it's the warm weather that's causing this frivolous, care-free attitude. Whatever the problem, 11 keys were lost.

Eleven keys misplaced by three separate parties. There' s a whole lotta losin' goin' on.

Lost key doesn't Metter anymore Let's start with the smallest of the three losses- one key Nov. 9.

From the Auraria Public Safety report it' s hard to tell who lost it and who found it. Only one name islistedon the report: Ellen Metter.

The only writing on the report states "the above items were left in the

passenger doorof Metter' s Honda."

At this point, two questions come to mind. One, if these keys are in fact Metter's, and assuming she drove her Honda to Auraria, how did the keys end up in the passenger's door? Does she get out on that side?

Two, if Metter did in fact leave them in her car door and realized she had left them there, why not just go back out to the car and get them instead of calling APS?

Nov. 9 Nov.9 Nov. 9 Nov. 9 was a popular day for key loss. Nov. 9 ., to refresh everyone's memory, was a Friday.

If keys are going to be lost, that' s probably the best day for it to happen - at least they're not needed for a couple of days. Plus, it allows time for coming up with a believable story. That same Friday, Glen Romero found a key ring outside of the Facilities Management Building, which happens to be conveniently located next to APS . This time the key ring was loaded with lots of goodies. Be-

sides the four state keys, seven " assorted keys" were also attached.

What, exactly, might assorted keys be? Along with the keys, there was a small knife so the owner could guard the keys with his life. There was also a Stanley tape measure and some nail clippers. So, basically what we' re looking at here is a carpenter with a manicure. All of the keys were signed over to the Physical Plant locksmith.

Lost key? Don't cry me a lake. .. Powell Last but not least, the Big Kahuna Key Loss of the Week. Six keys were single-handedly lost by Frank Powell. But, gosh, loss is such a strong word. How about using the lexicon of the law? The APS report stated that, on Nov. 5, Powell "was not able to locate" his keys. Five words for one? Kind of a waste of space. The keys lost included a master key? door keys for two rooms and a filing cabinet key. All together, that brings the semester total to 45.

Coor·s drops Ball, proceeds decline Julie Pezze

..

-

The Metropolitan One way to mea~ure the success of the Metropolitan State College ofDenver's third annual Plain & Fancy Ball is to compare the amount of money the event made to the amount of money that will end up in scholarship funds.

This year's ball grossed about $115,000.

After expenses, the proceeds totaled about $60,000 of which about $40,000 will go into scholarshipfunds,andtheremaining$20,000 will be spent on other academic programs, said Harry Gianneschi, vice president of MSCD Institutional Advancement.

Proceeds from last year's ball totaled about $90,000.

The dollar difference, according to Gianneschi, was attributable to the MSCD Foundation's inability to get a corporate underwriter for this year's ball.

Last year, Adolph Coors Co. underwrote the ball and absorbed about $37 ,000 worth of costs.

Foundation members met with Coors representatives in February to try to get that company to renew its underwriting commitment for this year's ball. But Coors decided

not to underwrite the event.

"We put all are marbles into one pouch this year," Gianneschi said. "But corporations are sometimes like higher education -you go through a lot of people, sit through committees and by the time they. turned us down we weren'tjn a position to find someone else."

Gianneschi said that efforts for finding an underwriter for next year's ball have already begun.

This year's ball was held at the Denver Convention Center, instead of the Radisson Hotel as was last year's, and that also increased the cost, he said.

Ticket sales for this year's ball accounted for about $70,000 of the proceeds, and a silent auction produced about $33,000. A faculty-staff program, which provided free tickets to MSCD employees who donated money deducted from their pay checks to the foundation, accounted ·for $7 ,000. And. an additional $3,000 was given to the foundation from MSCD' s official function account, which covered the costs of the president's reception.

The expenses forthe ball are projected to total $37 ,000. Those expenses include the rental of rooms at the convention center, the volunteers' dinner, the ball dinner, and other

Clthy VanSchwartz/ The Metropolitan

The Plain & Fancy Ball's use of the Colorado Convention Center contributed to decreased revenues this year. assorted foods and beverages served during the event. A 15 percent gratuity was also part of the cost.

The convention center held 400 more people than did last year's location, and Gianneschi said that using the convention

center generated more public exposure for MSCD. Gianneschi said the ball is designed as a college fund raiser and as an event aimed at bringing the community and the college 0 closer together. ·

Party blamed for Teikyo students' beatings Timothy Robertson The Metropolitan

Auraria Public Safety Officer Dean Chavez tickets a car behind the Arts Building. This is one of more than 2,000 parking tickets issued monthly ·at Auraria.

Confusion. Indifference. Fear.

This is how many Japanese students at Auraria's Spring International Language Center are reacting to the incidents involving attacks on Teikyo-Loretto Heights University students.

Nine Teikyo students were beaten Oct. 7 in a park where they were having a party near the Loretto H aeights campus. The attacks are alleged to be racially motivate d.

'Tm afraid," said Yasushi Kimura, 18, who has been in the United States for four months. "I'm afraid because I don't know who might do something to me. If I speak Japanese in front of the people who beat up the Teikyo students, maybe they will think I'm a Teikyo student, and they might do something·to me."

NorikoMisawa, 18,astudentofthe spting school for eight months, tried to calm her family back in Japan. The news of the Teikyo incident has been televised throughout Japan by the major news networks there.

"My parents are really worried about me," Misawas said. "They told me to please be careful. Since Teikyo is all Japanese students, my parents think my situation is similar. I told them not to worry about me because I go to a different school," she said.

Noriko Misawa blames the Teikyo students. " Yes, it's the Teikyo students' fault/' Misawa said. "Because they had a party at midnight in a dangerous area. I think it is not good to have a party outside, so late," she said.

A former Teikyo student, who requested anonymity, said she thinks the Teikyo students must look out for themselves.

"Tokyo is safe at midnight, Japan is safe," she said. "The Teikyo school is just a small Japanese village, and the students can't understand that it is dangerous here in the United States. No one takes care of them, only the teachers. They can't understand what America is like. They just stay in groups, and there is not interaction between the students and Americans."

Takeshi Tomizuka, 21, has been in the United Stat~s for three months.

He said the incident makes him more aware of himself.

"I'm not afraid because there is racism everywhere," Tomizuka said.

"But I shouldn't be proud of myself. I have to pay attention to my attitude. Some Japanese are very proud of Japan's economic success. But America is superior in such things as computer software and chips.

I think I just need to be aware of my attitude as a Japanese in America," he said.

A few days after the Teikyo students were beaten up, Teikyo University announced that dormitory rooms would be given, free of charge, to American full-time students. The gesture was said to be an attempt to build more friendship and understanding between the two countries.

"Teikyo offered free rooms," Kimura said. "But I don't think it is a solution because it is like the Japanese paying for friendship . Friendship is something to do together, but it sounds like just paying money to reduce the hatred against the Japanese." 0

'2 Live Crew' not doing 2 well Jill Radecki The Metropolitan

--

r- -

McNichols Arena may have been one of the scariest places to be to celebrate Halloween.

About 1,900 people attended the "2 bive Crew" concert leaving the arena nearly empty, despite the fact that the concert featured two other bands.

The opening act was a local band called "'Tile Jonez." Their music was a cross between reggae路 and rock, with surprisingly few four-letter-word lyrics. The five-member group had the usual garage band set-up with electric guitars and keyboards, but also included a set of conga drums to lend to the reggae beat.

"Poison Oan," the second band on stage, sounded like a cheap imitation of "2 Live Crew." The band copied the Crew's style of lyrics, rocking and rolling to every swear word in the book. The only musical help the band had on the bare stage was a mixing board manned by one of the band members whoscratchedandscreechedhiswaythrough their last song.

"2 Live Crew" was introduced by Denver Bronco fullback Melvin Bratton, who made it a point to repeat the Crew's name as though the crowd didn't know who the band was. The band took over the bare stage and immediately began shouting obscenities.

After singing few tunes, the band was joined by four female dancers dressed in Halloween spider web outfits that covered just enough to allow them on stage, bumping and grinding their way through a few songs with members of the Broncos.

a

"2 Live Crew" cussed their way through some of their more popular songs such as "hce Down, Ass Up" and "Me So Horny" to the enthusiastic cheers of an audience of mostly white males. Audience participation was heavy as they chanted the four-letter lyrics with the band members like kids on a Saturday night with no 'Parents around to reprimand them for their behavior.

'('2 Live Crew') is really raunchy, but how else are you going to make money on no talent?'

After the shock factor wore off, the concert had an air of ridiculousness to the listener and eventually, the evening became tiresome.

FIRST AMENDMENT Concert-goers were welcomed to McNichols Arena by Lee Whitfield and another member of the Colorado Chapter Freedom From Religion Foundation, a group involved in the separation of church and state. Whitfield, an ex-pastor, had volunteered his time to support First Amendment rights for which '!2 Live Crew" is famous after being acquitted Oct. 20 for obscenity charges filed after a concert in Broward County, Fla. in June.

Whitfield's efforts were countered by a member of a religious'group who declined any information about himself or his group.

Whitfield's comment to his competition was, "The bible is the most obscene book I've ever read. "He also said he didn 't like "2 Live Crew's" music but felt he had to support their First Amendment rights. "('2 Live Crew') is really raunchy, but how else are you going to make money on no talent?"

Whitfield said.

"We support ' 2 Live Crew,"' was heard from several people gathered outside the arena.

The entrance to the arena displayed signs that read, "Warning, subject matter may be offensive to some individuals. Not recommended for anyone under 16 years of age."

Inside, an usher said "I don't approve of censorship, but I personally wouldn't pay to listen to ('2 Live Crew')."

'They may put women down, but in a way, their music shows how much they want to be with women.'

Fans have a different view of the music.

Despite the band's derogatory lyrics about women, fan Brenda DeVault said, "They may put women down, but in a way, their music shows how much they want to be with women."

VIOLENCE The violence that many people expected at the concert was nonexistent - probably due to the number of police and security people around the arena. The police almost outnumbered the crowd. Police officer Paul Baca said the crowd was very quiet, and he didn't expect any fights that evening.

Concert-goers were electronically searched and then patted down at the arena entrance while security people searched for cans, bottles, cameras and weapons.

Whitfield, ofthe First Amendment group, said the crowd was "slightly tipsy, slightly stoned," but said he had seen no problems between the crowd and the police.

"There's too much security (forfights)]," said T-shirt vendor Erick Cook.

FINANCIAL LOSS The concert was booked by promoter Bill Bass, who said he only reserved 2,877 ofthe 17, 122 seat arena. Only about 1,900 of those seats sold for $20 a ticket. "Financially it was obviously not very good," said Bass. "Besides it being a media circus, it was just another concert booking," Bass said he approached Paramount Theatre, Mammoth Events Center and the University of Colorado Events Center ~ith the booking and he was turned down by all except McNichols.

OVERALL Those people who were out trick-ortreating instead ofjamming to "2 Live Crew" didn't miss anything. The concert was a disappointment of canned music and foul lyrics that eventually became repulsive.

Attendance at the band's concerts in other cities is just as poor as in Denver, if not worse. In New York the band drew only 700 people.

KCNC-TV helicopter pilot Mike Silva, a Metropolitan State College of Denver alumnus, made national headlines in February 1988 when he helped stop a burglary suspect. Silva's heroics will soon be part of a made-for-television movie.

Silva and former KCNC videographer Jim Stair were making a routine flight when they heard about a chase in northeast Denver. They spotted the suspect and followed him as he ran through a subdivision and eventually stole a truck. Silva used his helicopter to block the movement of the truck in·a parking lot until police could arrive. ''The most difficult thing was making the decisions -what can I do, what should I do, what can't I do," Silva said. "The flying was easy."

Now, while Silva is excited about being involved in the movie, which will be broadcast in February 1991 and will be called "The Chase," he said he is not involved in decision-making concerning the script. ''The only thing I'm really disappointed about is that, in the third draft of the script. my wife and children are included, and in the fourth version they have been cut," Silva said and laughed. Silva has been married for 10 years and has three children.

He also said that he is disappointed that he is not flying in the movie and that he is not truly an adviser on the set. He said he learned that what happens in a movie is nothing like what happens in a television newsroom or in real life.

One week after the incident, Silva was approached by a film company to do a movie about the chase. The company already had a script written, but it wanted to portray Silva as an alcoholic skirt chaser.

"My life was nothing like that. I've always been a goody two-shoes."

He turned the company down.

"Mr. Naive, I found out after it was too late that I could have taken the money and then demanded they take my name out," he said ThecompanyhadofferedSilva$160,000 to use his name. NBC, which is making the current movie, is paying the people portrayed in the movie $1,000 each.

Silva, 40, has been a pilot for 21 years, with more than 13,000 hours in the air. He

~

started his training in the Army in 1969, two weeks out of Cathedral Catholic High School in Denver. He earned two bachelor's degrees from MSCD, one in criminal justice in 1979 and the other in meteorology in 1989.

He served in the Anny as a pilot in Vietnam. He was shot down twi~ and injured twice. He was eligible for two ~le Heart medals, but he turned them down. He received 56 flying citations, one for every 25 hours in the air. He also received two distinguished Flying Crosses, a Bronze Star and a Bronze Star with a "V" - denoting valor because he received more than one.

In 1972, a year after he came home from Vietnam, he started flying for the Sheridan Police Department.

"I wanted to work for the Denver Police Department but, at that time, they had a height requirement, and I missed it by a fourth of an inch," he said.

He started working for the Thornton Police Department in 1973, and in 1974 he went to work for the Adams County Police Department. He stayed there for seven years, starting that department's helicopter program.

After seven years, Silva decided he needed a change so he left Adams County and went to work for the Public Service Company, flying along power lines to inspect them.

Silva then became interested in television and went to work part-time for the Denver stations.

"I've worked for all the TV stations, sometimes all in the same week," Silva said.

In March of 1983 he wentto work exclusively forKCNC. Silva'sdegreeinmeteorologyfromMetro is a year old, and he wants to try forecasting theweather.Heiscurrentlytryingtopersuade KCNC to let him do 20- to 30-second Jive spots on the weather from his helicopter.

But, he said, he isn't having much luck so far. He also wants to try regular weather forecasting in the studio.

Silva said his education at MSCD was enjoyable.

"Metro is a proven environm,ent for nontraditional students. They have a realistic, pragmatic curriculum to offer," he said.

Silva is trying to get Metro in the upcoming movie.

"I'm trying for a scene cif me in class, studying maybe," he said. "I want Metro to get more recognition - show that it's a quality school."

Health center treats campus well Dianne Fujiwara The Metropolitan

-,

If you 're a Metropolitan State College of Denver or University of Colorado at Denver student, you don' t have to dial 4-HEALTH or look in the Yellow Pages for good health care.

The doctors, nurses and nurse practitioners at the Student Health Center can take care of just atiOut everything from the common cold to minor surgery including "whatever you 'd see a family physician for," said Billi Mavromatis, a staff assistant at the health center.

What many students don 't realize is that most services are provided by the center at no cost, whether or not the students carry insurance.

A common misconception, according to Stephen Monaco, director of the health center, is that if students waive their insurance, they can' t use the center.

The center is, in fact, a state agency funded by MSCD and CU-D student fees.

Any registere4 student can use their medical services.

Community College of Denver students can use the center for a fee of $20 per semester. Mavromatis sees the center's ability to. immediately treat students as another plus.

"An ill student can be treated, and walk

out of here and make it to their next class," she said. An appointment isn't necessary because most students can be seen on a "walk-in" basis.

"We want to get them (students) seen and treated," Monaco said.

Mavromatis gave this account of a typical office visit: A student goes to the center because his ear h~. He is first seen by a screener who·determines the best person to handle the complaint is a nurse practitioner.

The nurse practitioner confirms that the Stu.dent has an ear infection and prescribes amoxicillin, which is available at the center.

The student's total cost is a charge for the medication, which averages about $2 to $5, Mavromatis said. There is no charge for the office visit - a visit that would typically cost at least $30 at an outside center or physician' s office, she said.

Not only are office visits free, prescriptions from the center cost much less than from an outside pharmacy, Mavromatis said.

For example, a month's supply of an oral contracep_tivecosts about$7, approximately half of what it would cost at a pharmacy.

Other fees students pay cover such things as X-rays, lab tests and surgery.

Monaco is enthusiastic about the center' s staff.

"They're physicians who are interested in developing a relationship with the student, becoming their primary care physician," he said. The medical staff is made up

entirely of contract faculty from Saint Joseph Hospital.

If treatment by a specialist is needed, the physicians can make a referral, keeping the student's budget in mind without compromising the quality of health care they re~ ceive, Mavromatis said.

Other services available at the center include blood pressure checks, cholesterol testing, physical exams, pregnancy testing, sexually transmitted disease screening and treatment, immunizations and first aid for minor injuries. i-lealth education is also a priority at the center.

Counseling is provided for smoking cessation, weight control and nutrition. When the center recently held its first "Life Steps" meeting for students concerned with weight reduction, Mavromatis was surprised when 40 people showed up. "I had the room set up for 15," she said.

The center serves an average of 150 students each day, but Monaco sees room for improvement. He said he hopes to add a radiology unit to the center, because students now have to go downtown to have X-rays taken, and, as Monaco said, these students are "not the most movable."

He said he also wants to develop a rehabilitation program that would include physical therapy, occupational therapy and sports medicine.

"Sports medicine is not just for athletes,"

Stephen Monaco Monaco said. "It's for anyone who' s active."

An immediate concern for the center's personnel is adding more doctors to the staff. Currently there are three part-time physicians, and Monaco said he would like to have two full-time physicians by next semester.

He encouraged students to stop by the health center "to see how we can frt into their health needs," he said.

The Student Health Center is located on the the lower level of the Student Union.

Call the center at 556-2525 for hours or to make an appointment.

MSCD alumnus aids mayor and community Susan Kientz The Metropolitan One of Metropolitan State College of Denver's earliest graduates now helps plot the course of Denver's future.

Richard Castro, 44, is the executive director for the Agency for Human Rights and Community Relations, appointed by Mayor Federico Pena in 1983. Castro writes speeches for Pefia on topics of cultural, community and general interest. Castro also coordinates the activities of the Commission on Cultural Affairs and provides access to Pefia for various cultural and ethnic groups - it's a long way from the shabby office buildings that were hi~ college classrooms and the bar that he and his fellow students frequented during his college days..

"Things have really changed since I went to Metro," Castro said. "We had classes in old office buildings, and my friends and I went to a bar called the White Mule, which was like the Student Union."

Castro majored in behavioral sciences and graduated from Metro in 1970. He is a big supporter of the college and has served as a board member of the Auraria Higher Education Center. Gov. Roy Romer ap路 pointed him to AHEC in 1988.

"Metro gave me the opportunity to afford higher education," Castro said.

Because MSCD is a non-traditional college, Castro and his friends could afford to go to colleg~ and earn a degree. In 1965,

MSCD was a new concept in higher education - students could work and still afford to go to college. " My parents backed me up all the way, and I enjoyed my years at Metro," he said.

Twenty-five years later, MSCD is still offering an affordable and quality education to students who have to work and pay for 路 college.

Castro, a Denver native, attended Annunciation High School in east Denver. After earning his bachelor's degree, he attended the University of Denver where he received a master's degree in 1972 in community organization and administration.

Castro has been an active member of the Denver community.

In 1969, he worked as a "street work counselor" for the Denver Youth Services Bureau, helping youths from east Denver. In 1970-1971 , he worked as a mental health counselor at the Longmont Mental Health Center.

He also worked hard to preserve the residential character of some west Denver neighborhoods, and he worked with the city to develop recreation and health facilities on the west side of Denver.

"Growing up in Denver has made me more aware of some of the problems that the city faces," he said.

Castro was the director of the Westside Coalition Neighborhood Planning Organizations in the early 1970s helping to improve the quality of life for neighborhoods in west Denver.

He was elected to the Colorado State Legislature for five consecutive terms (19741984), and the forrnerrepresentative said that he would consider running for a national office.

'Tm very interested in the national government, and I'd like to run for Congress someday,'' he said.

He works with the mayor on a daily basis, attends cabinet meetings every Thursday morning and also attends weekly Richard Castro, MSCD alumnus staff meetings.

Student releases first .. al.bLJm, 'Poor World' Jay Polonsky The Metropolitan

-.

A Metropolitan State College of Denver student is doing his part to fight what he feels is the government's mishandling of the environment. And his weapon is a guitar.

Brian Gregor released his first album, "Poor World,' in an attempt to share his views of politics with young people and make them ecologically aware. ''The attention must be directed towards the youth," Gregor said ofhis motives. "And the best way to reach the young is through music."

Gregor, 25, describes his musical sty le as political-folk and compares it to the works of Tracy Chapman and the "Indigo Girls."

At age 18, as a member of the U.S. Marines, Gregor saw things in politics that disturbed him. This became the impetus for his style of music.

"I saw how politics are actually being run," said Gregor. "And it upset me to find our politicians are not really for the people, but for themselves."

If the album takes off, Gregor plans to donate half of the proceeds to the environmental groups Greenpeace and Rapture. He prefers Rapture because it is an organization concerned with protecting birds of prey.

An incessant love for eagles is another inspirational tool Gregor uses in his music.

He plans to have an eagle on the cover of every album he releases.

"When I was 15 years old, an Iroquois Indian chief told me I had the spirit of the eagle in me," Gregor said. "Then, as I started researching the bird, I began to feel a oneness with the eagle."

Upon graduation, Gregor plans to use his sp~ech communication degree to eventually find a position with an environmental group.

"I would like to do public relations," Gregor said, "talking to Congress concerning environmental issues."

"Poor World" was released last September after five years of work on the album.

He attributes the length of time to the fact he financed the project himself and produced the album at a studio in Ohio.

Gregor said that he hopes his next album, which is already in the works, will develop much quicker. With the help of a sponsor and local production, a tremendous amount of time will be saved.

ButtimeisnotthemajorfactorinGregor's quest. The way the time is spent is what is important, he said.

"I want to help the environment as much as possible," Gregor said. "I know time is valuable, but if I make an impact on the environment, it has all been worth it.

Made in the U.S.A.

Enterprising spirit thrives despite foreign competition Dave Plank You may not realize the danger.

You're looking in the mirror at 7:36 a.m. You look like you just crawled out of bed, mostly because you have, and there they are. Two big nose hairs, just hanging out there waiting to be seen by the world, hoping to spoil whatever chances you may have had at making a good impression. What to do?

Instinctively you reach for the tweezers. Just as you're about to pluck the offending hairs out of your nose and your life, the words that have been burned into your consciousness since childhood come back to you: "Do not pull hair from nose. May cause fatal infection."

That's right. You may have only wanted to remove these tiny roadblocks on the road to success, but in reality you were taking your life in your hands. "Thank heavens," you think after a quick search through your medicine cabinet, "that I have these Klipette Rotating Scissors. ·They may have saved my life."

Klipette Rotating Scissors are manufactured by the Hollis Company in New York City. The clippers themselves are made up of two tiny jagged blades rotating concentrically- a deceptively simple design for a product whose packaging espouses the highminded ideal of removing "superfluous hair in nostrils and ears gently, painlessly, safely."

But that isn't what's really important about this product. As unlikely as it may seem that a product's most important role is not ridding the world of potentially fatal nose hair infections, it's true. What's really

important about these nose-hair clippers is not what they do, but where they're made. Right here in the good old U.S.A. "America can't build anything anymore," a friend of mine said one recent night. "Unions and insurance costs have bled the American entrepreneur dry. If you want to see exciting product ideas, you have to look to the far east." I couldn't believe he was right. I set out to prove him wrong, and prove him wrong I did.

That's right. Just as it seems that America is lagging behind the rest of the world in the manufacture of important consumer goods, it's possible to find a few products out there that are still made here on our own soil - the way only we know how to make them. In an age when we're bombarded with Hyundais and Braun shavers, it seems that America has fallen hopelessly behind the rest of the world in the manufacture of hightech, sophisticated items to improve the quality of our lives. But every now and then, we see products such as these. And the best part is that they can all be found within a few steps of your front door.

Take, for example: Whoops! Rubber Vomit - there was a time when Ray Suggett had to eke out a living by building rubber prostheses for amputees. He always hoped for more, though. He wanted to make the world laugh. So, after trying funny noses and artificial dog turds, his intense research and development program led him to a substance which resembled a lumpy, pink rubber omelet.

"It looked just like puke," he says. "At first I didn't know what to make of it, and I thought I was maybe just seeing things. So I called my wife into the workshop and had her look at it. She thought it looked just like puke, too."

Today Suggett's little R&D accident is paying him

off to the tune of about 50,000 units a year. And they say American ingenuity is dead.

Or how about this: the pine tree-shaped air freshener, as seen in millions of American cars since the late 1950s, is still going strong at its factory in Watertown, New York. Thanks to the tireless work of these proud men and women, a Pinto can smell as good as a Porsche Turbo.

Shaped like a classic American Fir tree, the original car freshener comes in appealing scents such as Cinna-Berry, Vanillaroma or Mint Julep. The company manufactures almost 1,000,000 of these babies a year - keeping American cars smelling as good as those from the rest of the world.

And finally, the good old Bostich Stapler.

In Boston, a company of 1,500 toils night and day to make sure that an American product is kept in the forefront of the world's battle to ensure safe, dependable office-paper fastening.

"We just do the good old stapler," says Bostich stapler spokesman Mitch Phillips. "We're not interested in whatever the office supply flavor of the month is."

That's right. Colored "post-it" notes and giant neon paper clips come and go, but staplers are forever.

Asked to elaborate on the success of his company's product, Phillips declines. "We're just glad to be able to offer the best stapler in the world at a price people can afford," he says modestly. "When people need something to hold their reports and presentations together, we'll be there."

That's right. They'll be there, and a lot of nose-hair clipper and rubber barf manufacturers will be backing them up. It looks like America hasn't rolled over to play dead yet, thank you very much.

I can hear the "Star Spangled Banner" in the background even now.

GUEST EDITORIAL Parking for handicapped on campus woefully inadequate Editor, The parking procedures for the handicapped on the Auraria Campus stink! With State laws passed to protect the handicapped, policy-makers and building designers have had to be somewhat thoughtful of the handicapped. Obviously, this caring did not tide over to include the parking policies of this campus.

Anyone can become temporarily or permanently handicapped, as I found out last year when a Denver firetruck rear-ended my new car... Now I walk around in a neck collar, have minimal brain damage and a visual dysfunction. Thankfully, I can still drive, as many of the handicapped can do. But I require handicapped parking. And what the accident didn't do to fry my brain, the frustrations with the Auraria handicap parking is finishing it off nicely. Eeeeek!

Did you know that it costs upwards to $180 a semester for a handicapped person to get a permit to park? Did anyone here ever ask how many of the handicapped can afford this? I can't, someone going to school solely on student aid. Could you pay that to park?

Parking meters are 1¢ a minute; that means 50¢ only buys 50 minutes, less time than is needed for one class period to be completed. Have you ever seen a young man with multiple schlerosis "running-out" between classes on his crutches to stuff a parking meter so he won't get a $1 O parking ticket. It's not a pretty sight. It brings tears to my eyes, and makes me damn

mad that it has to happen.

Even at that, parking meter are the only way some Qf us can afford to park and go to school. But there are only NINE handicapped parking meters on the ENTIRE UCO/MSC campus, the majority of which are in the lots by the St. Francis Interfaith Center along Speer Blvd.

Early in the semester so many temporary handicap permits had been given out, those of us with permanent State permits couldn't find a place to park. We were late to class, parked long distances and "hobbled" to school, or chanced parking tickets parking at other meters with still shorter terms.

There are NO parking meters for handicapped by the bookstore for EASY safe access in or out of that Student Center; NO handicapped meters outside the Arts Building where the so-called Handicapped Office is located. (Last year I got a ticket parking there trying to get a handicapped permit. Where the H*** do they expect us to park temporarily even to inquire the handicapped policies?)

I got a red sticker last week for not paying my three tickets. They were going to tow my car and another young man's car away. I jumped up on the hood and hysterically cried, "Oh no, you won't. My tickets aren't even due 'til Friday." Someone in the parking office had made a mistake. And I had no business jumping on a car recovering from a triple-spinal fusion ; the fact that I'm near 50 had nothing to do with it. I couldn't sit in

class after that I was shaking so hard. Damn it! (My teacher understood, bless her heart.)

Auraria raised the prices on the Handicapped meters (probably on all of them), and on the parking permits.

People who are handicapped have a tougher time doing just about everything. And manytimes we must do more difficult-things ALONE. .. Money is harder to make when you're handicapped, especially when you're in school trying to reshape you life.

The City of Denver gives the handicapped free parking at most meters. Why can't Auraria and the State of Colorado do this too? Or if NOTHING else, exempt us from any parking fines?

Never have I been so frustrated as I have with this problem. Notjustfor my sake, as I am the least plagued of the handicapped. There are those who cao now only move their neck and face muscles because they "had a few after school" and crashed, or some who had diving or football accidents and now manuever only hands or arms, still they compete in the classroom with you and me.

Why should Auraria make their lives anymore complicated and difficult? Let's hear from you people, we can't change it alone !

LETTERS Racism shows no prejudice when choosing breeding ground

-

L

Editor, I have come to the conclusion that racism at Metropolitan State College of Denver is not one sided.

In fact, efforts at our institution of lower education to solve racism have created racism. The efforts by the administration to give incentives to departments that hire minorities in effect gives these same departments incentives not to hire whites. I ask, what makes racism against whites any better than that against blacks minorities?

The irony at Metro State is the biggest racist is a person that says she stands for equality, but for blacks only. (Of course this only the opinion of this writer.)

Let us examine who the racist is. This person accused the Student Affairs Board of being racist because they ref used the fund the Black Student Alliance. What this person failed to tell the public was that the BSA violated funding stipulations. This person also failed to take note that other organizations were not funded for the same reason. I ask: should the BSA be allowed to violate stipulations and get away with it because they are black? That would be racist. Yet, that is whatthis person wanted. Then this person attempted to get Dr. Karen Thorpe, the non-voting chairperson of the SAB fired. Dr. Thorpe is white; would this been attempted if she was black? I doubt it.

This same person has accused the Metropolitan of being racist because they covered a shooting on campus that involved BSA students. The MET would have covered the story had two white students been involved in a shooting. What this student wanted was special treatment for this subject since blacks were involved. However, I thought that differential treatment

based on color of skin color was racisim. Is this what this student really wants?

Then we have last year's incident, when this person as president of the BSA led her troops to the office of the MET because blacks were not getting special treatment in the school paper. While their BSA members pounded on the glass and the MET's staff was forced to call Auraria Public Safety. When the MET · reported this, they were called racist for telling the truth. If racism means telling the truth, does this person want news reporters to lie?

Now that we are talking about what is newsworthy, let it be pointed out that conflict makes a better story than a goody-two-shoes story. That is what people read. For instance, a seminar in which over 200 people participated received no coverage. Why, after all MET editor Teresa Lenway was there. Maybe Ms. Lenway did not cover it because she hates whites. Absurd!

Race had nothing to do with it. The fact is, conflict that has an impact on people is more· newsworthy. If the . BSA wants more coverage, I suggest they be more conflict oriented. I should point out that conflict is not always bad. If a person accomplishes something positive via the conflict, then the conflict is positive in nature and will get good coverage. The problem with the type of conflict the BSA enters is that it fails to achieve substantial positive results. On top of it, how can you treat the press like trash and expect to get treated well yourself? The BSA has yet to learn that to get good press you need positive results. But there is still hope if they have a change of direction or leadership.

Let us get back to this certain racist I was talking about. What was her latest act against white people?

When the Grievance Committee had two white students

appointed she complained to the administration that the only reason she was asked to appear was because she is black. She did not know that two white students were also asked to appear. Maybe the two white students (one of them myself) hated whites. I doubt it.

The fact was the white students were thrown off the committee because the BSA president decided to make the color of her skin an issue. Yes, she did it again. Once more the issue of skin color was brought up by a person who claim~ to fight racism. Why? The only logical answer I can come up with is that she wants it to be an issue. If this person fails to find a racist in every white person she may fail in her duty to prove that all whites are evil.

To this person there seem to be five criteria that make a person a racist: 1. You are a white male.

2. You do not agree with the BSA. 3. You do not agree with her.

4. You never show up at a BSA meeting to show support.

5. You believe that reverse discrimination (affirmitive action) is wrong.

Of course these criteria plainly show that this person is a racist of the new type. The type that fights it, but at the same time promotes it. Without any further hesitation, let me present to you the Racist of the Year Awardee: Black Student Alliance President, Dr., Superior Lord of the Throne, Ida Amin ... aka... Lisa Calderon.

THE METROPOLITAN

French play spoofs 17th century family and medicine Armanda L. Olvera The Metropolitan If innocent love, suspense and laughter capture your fancy, the Metropolitan State College of Denver theater has the cure. The 17th century French comedy "The Imaginary Invalid" pokes fun at medicine and the problems of a wealthy family.

It was a night filled with excitement and chuckles as the 12-member cast gave an excellent performance during opening night Nov.8.

"The Imaginary Invalid" was written in 1673 by French playwright Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, a.k.a. Moliere, (1622-1673). The original title was "Le Malade Imaginaire."

The writer took the lead in this play, as the rich hypochondriac. It's ironic that Moliere got sick during a performance seven days after the premiere. He died that very night.

The play is a satire of the medical pr-0fession in France. During the late 1600s and early 1700s many philosophical theories, magic potions and other liquid remedies were sold by quacks and peddlers.

The story also revolves around problems within the Argan family. The three acts were performed in the same setting during 1674 in Monsieur Argan's living room in Paris.

Act I introduces Monsier Argan, played

by Toby Smith, a wealthy hypochondriac who thinks he's dying. The "sick man" isn't really sick, he's the imaginary invalid. Although his family is rich, he still plans to

15

marry off his eldest daughter, Angelica, played by Heather M. Kinstler, to a doctor.

The proud father wishes to have her wed within the next few days. But, as luck would have it, she has fallen in love and has other marriage plans.

More trouble arises when Argan's devious young wife, Beline, played by Leila J. Novachek, wants her step-daughter Angelica in a convent. To add more salt to the wound, she wants her husband's money before his death. Meanwhile, Toinette, the witty maid, played by Susie Ross, doesn't trust Beline.

Toward the end of the first act the audience finds out why.

During Act II, laughter fills the theater when Angelica meets her soon-to-be-husband - Dr. Thomas Diaforus, played by Todd E. Bak. The young doctor tries to impress Angelica andherfatherwith a bundle of almost memorized speeches. Bak was very funny with his timed humor. While the charmer tries to win the young maiden's heart, Cleante, Angelica's secret lover, played by Clayton Todd, enters the picture.

I can't reveal what else happens in this act or I'd give away too much of the play. Personally, I've got to admit Angelica and Cleante make a handsome pair.

More humorous dialogue flows in Act ill. Argan's brother, Monsieur Beralde, played by Bren-Michael-Hillard, argues with the rich gentleman regarding Angelica's immediate future. The angry father yells, "Youhateme."Beraldereplies, "Nol don't."

Argan answer~ back with, "You think I'm a

fool!" The honest brother admits, "Now, that's a different story!"

Additional confrontations stir and certain questions are answered during the the final act. We find out more details about Beline, and the audience sees just how strange and unprofessional Argan's doctors really are.

I'll let you wonder if the imaginary invalid imagined all of this. Does he die? Does Angelica get married? What about Beline?

Guess who out smarts both heads of the household. The last 10 minutes of the twohour play are a surprise to all.

Victorian furniture covered the stage and classical music occasionally filled the air. Every detail on the actors was in order from their costumes to their make up. The female actresses resembled antique porcelain dolls in their layered silk gowns. The men wore ruffled shirts with velvet suits which were accented with elaborate feathered hats. Both sexes had long hair, painted on beauty marks and white powdered faces. In fact, a few of the men were as pretty as the women.

All of the actors gave a great performance. They were so believable that no one would ever know that the actors' majors varied from criminal justice to math.

"The Imaginary Invalid" runs Nov.15 to Nov.18.Curtainisat7:30p.m. Nov.15-17.

An afternoon performance will be held Nov. 18 at 2:30 p.m. MSCD students may see the play for free. For more information orreservations, call 556-3033.

MSCD computer prof~ team participate in contest

EARN YOUR IS*AT

Jill Radecki The Metropolitan Charles Howerton spent last weekend at the University of Lethbridge, in Alberta, Canada judging the Association for Computing Machinery Scholastic Program contest.

Howerton is a professor of computer science at Metropolitan State College of Denver. He was chosen to judge a student computer contest by Regional Director of the Association of Computing Machinery Charles Shub, from the University of .

Colorado at Colorado Springs.

While Howerton was at Lethbridge, he awarded the first and second place plaques for the contest to the University of Calgary teams 1 & 2, respectively, and presented a colloquium to students and teachers on software testing. The plaques were presented to the schools, and each team member will receive a smaller individual award.

Thirty-four teams competed in the annual contest that was also held at two other schools. Adams State College in Alamosa and the University of Wyoming in Laramie hosted other regional participants. The MSCD computer team participated in the contest at UW, but "they came in dead last," Howerton said.

Two CU-D teams also competed, and both scored "fairly high" according to Howerton.

The competition's rules were simple.

Each team consisted of four people who had

The team that solved the most problems within the five hours won, provided the programs worked successfully.

If any teams tied in the number of problems done, the amount of time it took the team to do the work determined the winning team. The winning team was that which programmedtheproblemsintheleastamount of time.

"If you know how to do the work, it's [workable] in anywhere from 35 minutes to four hours," Howerton said.

The top two teams from each of the three

regions will advance to the finals in Texas March 8. One of those teams is from Mesa State College in Grand Junction.

Team members volunteered to be part of the group and Howerton said if too many people volunteered then local contests were conducted to eliminate all but four people.

The students were also required to pay for the trip to the contest, although Howerton's trip was paid for by AT&T Computer Systems, the sponsor of the contest. However, AT&T Computer Systems will pay for the finalists to attend the comO petition in Texas.

CLUBS Academic clubs briefs Academic dubs at Metropolitan State College of Denver don't just hold meetings to discuss quadratic equations, economic theories or famous philosophers.

Club members are active in the community beyond the campus with service projects and cultural events as well as their club's social activities.

Honors Club The Honors Club isn't limited to students with high grade point averages, said club adviser Alain Ranwez. Anyone with a desire to participate in the club's activities is welcome to join.

But Ranwez was careful to differentiate the club from the Honors Program. Students must meet certain criteria to take classes in the Honors Program, he said.

Ranwez said the club is for students who have an interest in. inter-disciplinary studies1Uld who want to be involved in offcampus cultural activities.

Student co-president Dee Dee Caldwell said the Honors Club is also involved in events on campus.

...

Caldwell said club members helped with on-campus events during National Hunger and Homeless Week and club members plan to volunteer their time for the Denver Rescue Mission the night before Thanksgiving, Nov. 21. For more information, call 5564865.

Golden Key National Honor Society Another academic club doing community service work is the MSCD chapter of the Golden Key National Honor Society. The co-advisers are Freida Holley and Alain Ranwez. Holley said the group this year is particularly interested in community service.

Veronica Redman, the student president, said the club is collecting needed items for Brandon House, a women's shelter. The club' s goal is to round up enough items to make an impact on the lives of the women and their children, she said.

Redman said she is concerned about the children there. She is asking for donations of children's toys, books and any items that may entertain the children. She said the Honors Club at MSCD is also helping with the collection drive.

Enthusiastic about this club's service work, Redman said she hopes that future Golden Key clubs will continue to volunteer in the community. "I would like to leave, as a legacy, the desire for the club to do more community se.r vice projects," she said.

Redman added that she often sees community service projects and events on campus that are probably sponsored by other clubs, but she seldom sees these events publicized.

"I would like to see more publicity about what the clubs are doing," she said.

Holley said a student's grade point average and extracurricular activities are considered for membership in the Golden Key society. Students must have junior or senior standing and have completed 30 hours at MSCD. Each year, the society gives three scholarships to MSCD faculty members and one outstanding sophomore scholarship. At the national level, Holley said two scholarships are awarded to MSCD students. For more information, call 556-4865.

Scholars Club Melissa DeBruyn of the Presidential Scholars Club said there are about 200 presidential scholars at MSCD. But she said

many who receive this scholarship don't know about the club.

"Our general purpose is to publicize that there is a club on campus for presidential scholars," said DeBruyn, the club's student president.

Two types of presidential scholarships are awarded, DeBruyn said. One is for entering freshmen, and the second type is for students transferring from other colleges.

Paul Cesare, the club's adviser, said the students continue to receive the scholarship each y~ar provided their cumulative grade point average is 3.0 and they carry 12 credit hours each semester. He said the dollar amounts of the scholarships increase with a student's grade point average.

The club has been on campus for seven years. "It provides an opportunity for leadership, self-esteem and networking," Cesare said.

DeBruyn said the club gives students who are academically successful a chance to meet one another. "We want to get to know each other and socialize, not just focus on academics," she said. For more information, call 556-3994.

Sandwich line on campus feeds the hungry Gerry Murano The Metropolitan "Sandwich line 11 a.m.," the sign reads.

And the line begins to form in the alley between Central Classroom Building and St. Elizabeth's Church.

Two students walk through the alley on their way to class.

It's snowing, the first snow of early autumn, and it's very wet.

A card table has been set up inside the gate at the back of the church. On the table are boxes of Fiber Classic cookies, a large pot of steaming coffee, a basket of bologna sandwiches and a sack of fresh jalapefios.

The men step up, one at a time, to the wrought-iron gate in the church wall.

Joe Martinez, the Monsignor, as he's called by some of the regulars, pours cups of coffee and chats with the men, as he has done several times a week for the past four years. He hands each ofthe men a plastic bag containing two sandwiches and asks them if they want a jalapeiio pepper.

"Maybe they have a drinking problem, maybe it'sdepression, maybe just bad luck," Martinez said. "Lots of them have had broken marriages. They've lost their families, and they've just given up."

The number of people who line up in back of St. Elizabeth's varies from day to day. ''Today there are not as many because it's snowing, and because it's the first part of the month," Martinez said. "By the end of

the month, when their money has run out, Martinez said he's doing fine now- better than ever. more people are hungry."

'Tm a middle class person," he said.

St. Elizabeth's has a proud tradition of serving Denver's poor and unemployed. "Lots of these guys were just like me. They Served by the Capuchin-Franciscan friars, had jobs, families. They haven't always the striking limestone church, built in 1889, been out of work.

Once in a while a student will get in line wiches are passed out, a few of the men come to the basement of the church to get a and ask for a sandwich, he said.

"I figure it's not up to me to judge," he sack of groceries.

They wait outside the door, ducking their said. "Whoever is in line and wants to eat gets a sandwich and whatever else we've heads beneath the low door frame when it's got. Sometimes we have rolls, day-old bak- their tum to come in.

" Hang on, and we'll get you a bag of aged man of average size, with graying hair food." Oeorge is given a King Soopers bag and warm brown eyes. He wears a gray containing generic macaroni and cheese, dry beans, rice, canned vegetables, canned sweatshirt, khaki pants and tennis shoes.

He has a rich, infectious smile. And he , pork, oatmeal, honey and peanut butter. He nods his thanks and backs out the door with has cancer.

To qualify for the what I do." The surgery was successful, and government food, the church must keep

records, so each person is asked for a picture ID and a rent receipt. They must have an address in Denver County to get a bag of food, he said.

"We have to follow the rules if we want to keep the food bank," Martinez said. "If they don' t have a place to live, what are they going to do with dry oatmeal, or rice? Right now, we can still give them a food bag every 30 days, but pretty soon we're going to have to cut back to four times a year."

Victor is next in line. Martinez tells him, " Your sheet said you were here just two weeks ago. You '11 have to come back in two more weeks."

Victor doesn't understand. He's hungry, he said, and he has a family at home. Martinez apologizes to Victor and offers him a sandwich.

"There isn't a shortage of food in Denver right now," Martinez explained. "On any given day, there are six, maybe seven places where people can get food. Now shelter, that's another problem."

On this snowy fall day, Martinez and St. Elizabeth's have provided 20 people with a sandwich lunch, and seven people with a bag of food.

By noon, the alley is cleared of students - classes have started.

The men drift away too, except for one, who is finishing his coffee.

Martinez shivers and comments about the cold weather. ''This ain' t cold," the man said. "This ain't cold at all." a

Students to provide turkey dinners for the homeless Dianne Fujiwara The Metropolitan Thanksgiving will come three days early for about 300 homeless people in Denver.

On Nov. 19, students in the Freshman Year Program will cook and serve a traditional turkey dinner for people from 12 metro-area shelters.

J

ners will be served at 5:45, 7 and 9 p.m.

The freshman program is designed to help new students have a successful first year in college.

The program provides advising, guidance on course selection and academic monitoring throughout the first year. Problem solving, creative thinking and peer interaction are encouraged.

''The response was overwhelming," said Julie Genovesi, who contacted the shelters.

"They couldn't believe that the students were doing this."

Michael Fletcher, an instructor in the program, said the dinner is a way for students to be involved.

Shelter residents will be given a ride to the St. Francis Interfaith Center on buses donated for the day by Grayline. The din-

''They come to school and have no concern or involvement with the community," he said. "We' re the community."

The developer of the program, Renee Ruderman, agreed.

"It gives them (the students) a better sense of what's going on, off the college campus," she said.

In addition to preparing and serving the dinners, students will also be entertaining the diners with music.

Food has been donated by Cub Foods, and a local florist is providing carnations for the tables.

Contributions for the Thanksgiving dinner can be made to the Freshman Year Program, Central Classroom Building Room

THE METROPOLITAN

SPORTS A view from the press Dale Shrull Sports Editor

-¡

It's basketball season, time to get the ole MSCD student ID out and polish it up.

Roadrunner men's basketball! After last season everyone should be pumped-up, ready for another thrilling year. ' So what do you say let's go watch the 'Runners? They're playing at home right?

Home. As in home sweet home, home is where the heart is, home on the range and there's no place like home. Just ask Dorothy.

But this year the ' Runners won't be saying there's no place like home. Not for a while anyway.

Since the renovations are still underway to the Auraria Gymnasium, MSCD men's and women's basketball teams will have to play their home games at such homely facilities a.s the University of Denver Fieldhouse, Regis College Fieldhouse and at Colorado Christian University.

So much for home-court advantage. Both MSCD teams have to practice at recreation centers in the Denver Parks system. For home games, the Roadrunners will need to travel across town to unfamiliar gyms, locker rooms and maybe fans.

Since they will have to play on a number of courts, the 'Runners won't even have the opportunity to get adjusted to one court Feb. l is the tentative date set for the 'Runners to come home, their real home.

Although the Auraria Gymnasium won't be completely finished, it should be ready for basketball games.

According to Dick Feuerborn, director of Campus Recreation, Feb. 1 is still the target date. "We're keeping our fingers crossed."

If the gymnasium isn't finished by Feb. 1 and the delay drifts mto the middle of the month, the 1990-91 home game scehule will be lost. Without a difinitive home court advantage the 'Runners will have an uphill battle every game.

The bond issue for the gymnasium renovations was passed in the fall of 1988. Ground breaking forthe gym didn 't begin until Sept.

14. So why has it taken so long to get started?

b~x

Gymnasium tag

Roadrunners a team without a home "The bids came in extremely over budget," Dean Wolf, director of the Physical Plant, said.

"When the bids were too high, we had to negotiate, stop and cut more out of the b.uilding,", Feuerborn said. "It was a very elongated process."

Most fingers are being pointed at the architects. The estimates made by the architects concerning the renovations weren't high enough, Feuerborn said.

No matter what the reasons, the gymnasium won't be used for basketball for a while. Should they have started ground breaking sooner? It would have been nice.

But they didn't. Whether it was because of slow negotiations, architects' blindness or feet dragging all around, the main point is the losers here are the MSCD basketball teams.

So now that basketball season is here, the gym is in shambles. And after last season's 28-4 record and their championship run, that's a pity.

The year after a great season is usually the most frenzied. Anticipation and expectations are the greatest exciters when it comes to sports fans.

Now Roadrunner fans, like the players, will have to travel to what used to be un1 friendly confines. The convenience factor is gone. Will the inconvenience of traveling to a different gym keep fans away? Sure it will.

And that's unfortunate. This team deserves to be supported. They also deserve to have a real home.

If the 'Runners begin winning like last season, fans will get caught up in the excitement and may travel vertually anywhere to watch them play. But if this team slides into the mediocore range, that's a different story.

Fans will be patient and except a team that's b~ilding with young players, but they probably won't travel to watch them.

Having a young team, Head Coach Bob Hull can use every break he can get. Unfortunately he won't have a home court. This

Workers at the Auraria Gymnasium take a break. Completion date for the gymnasium Is set for Feb. 1. young team will have to take it's show on the road every game When the job is finished Auraria will have a great facility. The capacity of th~ gym will be increased by almost 1000. It will be used as an events center and MSCD sports teams will have a great structure to practice and play in.

But this season is the tragedy. While the 'Runners are playing at DU and Regis, students will now have to plan. And we all know how difficult that is. Instead of students seeing a billboard on campus and saying "Hey, Jets go to the game," they'll have to say things like "where's Regis?"

"Who's going to drive?" "Who's paying for the gas?" "What's granola and where does it come from?"

When the snow flys and the roads turn to ice, the last place anyone wants to be is somewhere unfamiliar.

The 'Runners will just have to hope that fans come to watch them. If the gym is ready

to go Feb I, the 'Runners may have a chance to host the Colorado Athletic Conference Tournament. That's if they're the regular season champs.

The bottom line to any sporting event is winning. If the 'Runners win people will come. But there comes the catch 22 -- they must win for people to travel to see them but will there be enough support and home court advantage to help them win?

Hopefully the 'Runners will adjust to their strange playing arrangements and win at their homes away from home.

It's a shame that the 'Runners are the ones that must suffer through this expansion. In the long run, the renovations will be great. In the short run, it's causing the 'Runners to be a long way from home.

Before February the ' Runners may find out how important a home court advantage is and start clicking their heels together: There's no place like home, there's no place like home...

Illinois, Henson getting raw deal says Hull Dianne Fujiwara The Metropolitan

Bob Hull, head coach of the Metropolitan State College of Denver men's basketball team, said that the penalty imposed last week by the NCAA on Illinois' basketball team "hurts me personally."

Not only are Hull and his parents Illinois alumni, he also was an assistant basketball coach there for six years, from 1979-85.

He' s been at Metropolitan State College of

Denver ever since. " If you 're from a place and then they go on probation, people look at you too," Hull said.

Under the sanctions, Illinois is banned from post-season play in 1991, is on a threeyear probation and can only offer two new scholarships each of the next two years.

Hull said an assistant coach at Iowa and others at Notre Dame made the most serious charges - that recruits were offered cars and "substantial amounts of money."

The NCAA cleared Illinois of those charges.

According to Hull, theothercharges were

minor infractions - players leaving game tickets for people who weren't family members or students, an assistant coach loaning $10 for meal money to a player, and an assistant coach recruiting at the same high school twice in one week.

Hull maintained his support of Lou Henson, Illinois' head coach: "I admire Coach Henson. . . I know that he's not breaking any NCAA rules.

"A program can inadvertently mess up and break a few rules - minor infractions.

That can happen to anybody . .. but he is not running a dirty program," Hull said.

The main reason the NCAA punished Illinois was becauseofa "lack of institutional control," Hull said. "The NCAA felt that they didn't have control of their basketball program."

He said Illinois officials felt tQ.e basketball program was being singled out because the football team had been on probation twice.

This was Illinois' third sanction since 1984.

"They feel lite they've been treated unfairly by the NCAA, but there's nothing they can do about it," Hull said.

SPORTS MSCD women's volleyball

BRIEFS MSCD, Hull go for 6 out of 6 in openers The Metropolitan State College of Denver men's basketball team will open the season Nov. 16 by hosting Langston College, Oklahoma, at Regis College. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m.

The Roadrunners will be playing their home games at various · sites due to the renovation project to the Auraria Gymnasium.

The 'Runners lost to the Mexican National Team Nov. 5, 101-79, but the game was an exhibition so neither the loss nor any statistics from the game will be counted toward season totals for MSCD. ''The game against the Mexican National Team showed us what we needed to work on," Roadrunners' head coach Bob Hull said. "We need to rebound better and take some better shots offensively. If we do these two things, we'll be all right."

Hull is entering his sixth year at MSCD. In the first five years, his teams have never lost a season opener.

Over his five years, Hull has amassed a 92-49 record with a 28-4 record last season and a final ranking a No. 3 in NCAA Division II. Following their game against Langston University, the 'Runners will host Green Mountain College, Vermont, Nov. 21 at 7

p.m. The game will be held at the University of Denver.

Air-time for 'Runners MSCD men's basketball plus KNUS radio equal a lot of air-time both on the court and over the airwaves.

The Metropolitan State College of Denver announced that KNUS radio 710 AM will broadcast 10 Roadrunners' basketball games this season.

KNUS will cover all 10 of the 'Runners' Colorado Athletic Conference games beginning Jan. 21 when MSCD plays Regis College.

Yunger and the restless The Metropolitan State College of Denver men's soccer season may be over but senior forward Tim Yunger continues to be one of the top scorers in the nation.

With the 'Runners' season over, Yunger, a Thornton High School graduate, is tied for fifth in the nation with a school record 13 assists; eighth with a school record 18 goals; and a school-record 49 points ranks him in a tie for seventh.

Since the play-offs count toward individual statistics, Yunger may lose ground when the final NCAA Division II scoring statistics are tabulated.

CAC loss may have ended season Kimberly Palmer The Metropolitan The Metropolican State College of Denver women's volleyball team was defeated

by Regis College in the championship match of the Colorado Athletic Conference Tournament Nov. 10.

The Roadrunners advanced to the finals after rallying from a 2-1 game deficit to beat the U.S. Air Force Academy 15-11, 16-17, 12-15, 15-5, 15-13 at the Regis College Fieldhouse. _ The championship final was set up after Regis defeated the University of Denver.

The 'Runners took an early lead in the first game of the championship match and were up 16-6 before Regis staged a comeback and tied the score a 14 apiece. The 'Runners held off Regis and won the game 17-16.

That was the only game the ' Runners would win in the match. Regis won the next three games, 15-2, 15-6, 15-5, to take home the CAC Tournament championship.

The CAC tournament will most likely determine the regional representative in the NCAA Division II play-offs; however, there

• At/V AMOUNT • FROM ANYWHERE

is a slim chance that MSCD could still be selected to go to the playoffs.

If the 'Runners don't make the playoffs they will finish with a 27-20. record.

The CAC All-Star team was also selected and three Roadrunners made the team.

Senior outside hitter, Chris Hines was the voted to the first team, while junior Darcie Inglee and sophomore Dana Stright made the second team. Junior Jennifer Drees received honorable mention.
