Tecicher evaluation access controversy brewirig David O. Williams News Editor

A conflict over the release of student evaluations of faculty members is coming to a head this week.

The student senate and other campus organizations are deciding how to proceed in their attempts to get the Metropolitan State College of Denver Administration and FacultY Senate to release the results of the evaluations as required by law.

"We have a standing senate position against publishing (the evaluations), because it is a part of our personnel files and ID짜 understanding of the law is that the final results of the evaluation is a matter of public documentation, but not every little thing that goes into it," Elizabeth Friot, president of the Faculty Senate, said.

According to Colorado law, the two aspects of personnel files that

are public record are applications and performance evaluations.

On Nov. 28, ASMSCD PresidenCDan Holden, vice president Lara Da Pice, MSCD President Thomas Brewer, Friot and two members of the Human Services Educational Organization met to discuss the campus-wide release of evaluation results .

Holden said that student government has been pursuing such a measure for four years and that, three years ago, they had $10,000 allocated through the Student Advisory Board to pay for the cost of having the results published in the student handbook.

According to Holden, that money has been rolling over every year pending an agreement with the Faculty Senate. If it's not used by the end ofthe fiscal year, Holden said, the money will no longer be available.

Currently, depending on the department, compilations of some of the results are available to stu-

dents, but the student senate is seeking a complete disclosure and publication.

Dominic Perino, vice president of the HSEO, asked "Does not the student or individual have concerns about their education?" He added that those concerns might be addressed through the evaluation results.

"I think (students) have a great deal of information," Friot said.

"And the kind of information that they might find more useful is what they find through word of mouth."

"Word of mouth worksreal well if you've been here a while," Linda Keenan, HSEO co-president, responded. "Being a new student ...

I wish I would have known some information concerning some of the faculty members before I entered the classes."

Brewer did not rule out the complete, comprehensive publication ofthe evaluation results, but did express concern about the cost and the usefulness of such a publi-

cation.

"Don't expect too much of it evenifyoudopublish(theresults)," Brewer said. He added that some might view it as a mechanism or students "to shop around for the least challenging classes."

Brewer and Friot are pushing for a separate set of questions- to be approved by the Faculty Senate - that could be tacked on to the official evaluation and then made public.

"I think this could get into an adver~arial relationship where the college community could be damaged by the insistence on publishing the official documents," Friot said.

"The position of the students," Holden said, "is that if the Faculty Senate wants us to work with (separate) questions ... that's fine, but in the interim, the student government is officially requesting that the information that is currently being collected be released to us to do with as we wish."

Brewer responded, saying, "Then officially I need a letter form the student government under the Freedom of Information Act requesting the information."

However, the Freedom of Information Act applies only to federal agencies.

The University of Colorado and its satellite campuses have a policy of distributing the results of all faculty evaluations. In September, the CU-D "Advocate" ran summaries of all the official results.

The Faculty Senate and student government have agreed to work together on formulating a separate set of questions.

However, Holden plans to pursue a written request for immediate release of the results under Colorado's Open Records Act The student senate will vote on it at their Dec. 5 meeting.

"I will get a final opinion from the college attorney and that's the bestlcandoforyou,"Brewersaid.0

and is compatible to Periphonics, the Auraria Higher Education Center never responded to the proposal for additional phone lines, said Antonio Esquibel, MSCD vice president for Student Affairs.

Beginning fall semester, the Financial Aid Office's problems tended to anger the rest of the MSCD administration because of students calling all over campus attempting to get through to financial aid, said Cheryl Judson, MSCD Financial Aid director.

"After fall classes start, the phone caHs diminish and the problem goes away, butit's getting worse because every year we get two or three thousand more financial aid applicants," Judson said.

The purchase cost of the equipment necessary to upgrade the existing system is $150,000 over two years.

The cost of leasing the system is $2,155 a month or $25,860 a

year.

There will also be a $6,000 a year maintenance fee.

The Periphonic system for registration currently costs each student $2 a semester, but that hasn't compensated for the 12 percent annual cost increases for maintenance of the system, said MSCD Dean of Admissions Kenneth Curtis.

The 12 additional phone lines are expected to be available by mid-January and the Periphonics data base installation should be completed by the beginning of summer 1991 semester.

In addition, MSCD is proposing that an additional 25 lines be added to the Periphonics registration system.

When asked if student fees would be increased to pay for the system, Esquibel said, "We really haven't identified how we're going D to pay for it."

Bush signs campus crime, graduati'on disclosure law David 0. Williams News Editor

President Bush signed legislation Friday, Nov. 16, requiring colleges and universities to disclose their campus crime statistics, security procedures and graduation rates.

The law, which will only affect institutions that participate in federal student aid programs, is in response to recent high-profile campus crimes and a growing concern that student athletes are being misled by schools.

The Student Right to Know and Campus Security Act began more than a year ago as "a relatively innocuous consumer information" measure, said Rep. TomMcMillen, D-Md., who co-sponsored the bill with Sen. Bill Bradley, D-N.J.

McMillen, a former NBA player, said that the bill was "designed to provide the students and parents ~ith valuable information about the school they are considering."

Bradley, also a former NBA star, had in mind a more specific bill that would require reports on the graduation rates of athleticscholarship recipients.

Both congressmen got what they wanted. However, the legislation they originally proposed has been packaged with a crime statistic provision that will force institutions to certify to the Education Department the existence and specifics of campus security measures, as well provide an annual crime rate report to students, employees and prospective students.

The douhie-barreled bill moved fairly rapidly through the House and Senate following the storm of

national media attention surrounding the murders of five University of Florida students in August.

Despite reservations expressed by some schools' administrators, the redesigned bill, co-sponsored

by Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., requires institutions to break down graduation rates according to race and sex.

Among those who felt such a requirement might be deemed "offensive" by some schools was Martin Massengale, chancellor of the University of Nebraska, who felt the bill could run into some legal hurdles.

Despite the bill representing what the "Boston Globe" called "a new era of federal regulation of colleges and universities," it was passed unanimously by both the House and Senate and has gone unchallenged since Bush signed it.

Specter had some regional im-

petus for pushing for the bill. His home state is one of 10 that have passed so-called "Clery Bills" requiring crime statistic disclosure.

The name "Clery Bill" was the result of the efforts of Howard and Connie Clery pushing for disclosure legislation both in Pennsylvania and nationally.

Their daughter, Jeanne Ann Clery, was a freshman at Lehigh University when she was raped and strangled by a fellow student in her dorm room in 1986.

Colorado is not one of the 10 states with disclosure legislation on the books and the new federal law could have significant impact on schools such as the University of Colorado at Boulder, where major crime is on the rise following a five-year decline.

Survey reveals extent of students' alcohol-related problems Lori A. Fleming The Metropolitan

t

The results from a substance abuse survey conducted last spring on Metropolitan State College of Denver students surprised Bobbi Vollmer, the associate director of the MSCD Counseling Center.

"Almost 50 percent reported some type of behavioral problem during the past year because ofthe use of alcohol," Vollmer said.

Behavioral problems included incidents such as a memory loss, damaging property, driving under the influence or other problems with the police.

Vollmer said that she was surprised because alcohol use at MSCD is consistent with other, more traditional college campuses. This held true despite. the fact that many MSCD students aren't traditional in age or lifestyle when compared to those at other college campuses. Vollmer said that she thought the results would be different because the average student's age at MSCD is 28, and many students have job and family responsibilities.

Alcohol is the most common drug used on campus, but it doesn't receive the attention that the war on drugs has received.

"People don't talk about alcohol as a drug because it's legal," Vollmer said.

Richaro Daetwiler, director of MSCD's LAW from page 3 statistics available, though it has never included the information in its catalog.

AHEChadthelowestnumberofcrimes of any major college or university in the state in 1989. It also has no students living on campus.

Sgt. Jim Ferguson, public information officer for Auraria Public Safety, said he

Institute for the Study of Drugs, Alcohol and Addictive Behaviors, said a minimum of one in 10 people in the general population experiences serious problems with alcohol.

However, as the survey 's results support, he said that there are more heavy drinkers on college campuses.

Charles V. Branch, professor in the human services department agrees with Vollmer and Daetwiler.

"Many students are classified as having a drinking problem, but you don't hear about it unless the law gets involved," Branch said. "I think there are a lot of closet alcoholics."

The campus has several different options for students wanting help with alcohol use.

"There are many ways of lowering the drinking problem in society," Branch said.

The Counseling Center is starting a group, meeting each Monday from 2:30 p.m. to 4 p.m., called "Using Alcohol Responsibly."

Vollmer emphasized that it isn't a class, and students may enter the group at anytime.

The group strives to give students the skills and knowledge needed to reduce unhealthy levels of alcohol consumption.

Vollmer said the group doesn ' t pressure students to quit drinking altogether.

"Some people can manage their drinking behavior without abstinence," she said.

Another option is Alcoholics Anonymous, the most well-known program for

alcohol use. In addition to the 12-step method of alcohol recovery, AA also has 12 traditions. One of those is not being associated with any other institution. Therefore, MSCD doesn't sponsor AA on campus. Meetings are held each Monday and Wednesday from noon to 1 p.m. in Room 206 in the Auraria Library.

A 25-year-old MSCD student active in AA gave his perspective, making it clear that he isn't a spokesman for AA. "I do not represent AA as a whole," he said.

And true to another of AA 's 12 traditions, he values his anonymity "AA works for me," he said. "That is what has kept me sober until this day." But he agreed that AA may not be for everyone. "AA doesn't set themselves up as the authority on alcohol.

We don ' t say AA is the best."

In addition to questions about student use of alcohol, the Counseling Center's survey also questioned students about their family members' alcohol use. Fifty-two percent of the students said a family member had a problem with alcohol or drugs.

Vollmer said that if the word "drugs" was eliminated, the percentage change would not be significant. She said that this emphasizes the fact that alcohol is still the most commonly used drug, and that most people using other drugs use alcohol as well.

Al-Anon is a support group for people feeling their lives are affected by another

person's drinking. Most often this is a family member but it can be anyone, including friends and co-workers. Lik~ AA, Al-Anon isn't sponsored by MSCD but meets on campus every Thursday from noon to 1 p.m. in room 206 in the Auraria Library.

Al-Anon doesn't teach its members how to solve another person' s problem with alcohol. Instead, people in Al-Anon learn how to best handle the effects of another person's drinking problems who is close to the member.

Jan, a 43-year-old MSCD student, has been in Al-Anon for three and a half years.

Her husband's drinking was disrupting her life. She said he started going to AA meetings about 18 months ago and is no longer drinking.

But Jan doesn 't credit herself with stopping her husband's drinking. There's a saying Al-Anon members have about alcohol addiction: "Wedidn'tcause it. We (;an't control it, and we can't cure it."

Students may go to the Counseling Center in the Central Classroom Building Room 203, or call 556-3132 for more information on the Center's alcohol use group. Students also may visit the Student Health Center in Student Union Room 140, or call 556-2525 for information on AA and Al-Anon meetings.

would like to see crime statistics incorporated in either the catalogue, the class list, or both.

"For us it's no major problem, because (disclosure) is something that we're into anyway," he said. He added that he didn't anticipate the need for additional staff to disseminate the information.

"I really think keeping people informed of crime stats is very critical in making

competent decisions about where folks want to go to school," Ferguson said.

Bill Helman, MSCD's athletic director, said that publishing graduation rates is also a positive step in keeping prospective students informed. He expressed doubts, however, about whether athletes would pay much attention to a school's academic performance.

"Some people are going to ignore it,"

Helman said. "They 're going to go with the dream."

In an interview last year, Helman expressed his support for the legislation and he hasn't changed his tone. "I like the idea. I think schools should have to be up front and have to show whether they 're bringing people in there and getting them graduated, or whether they 're just using them and they ' re discarded in four years."

New Alumni Relations director for MSCD named Armanda Olvera The Metropolitan Determination and hard work have paid off for Carolyn Champion-Sloan who has been named the new Metropolitan State College of Denver director of Alumni Relations.

Sloan, an Atlanta native, said she enjoys her new position, which officially started Nov. 1, and said she plans to keep her position at MSCD for at least 10 years.

Sloan first came to Colorado in 1989 for an Alumni Managers Conference in Boulder, which included the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education workshop. She returned to Boulder the following year to attend another CASE conference and admits that, since her first visit, she wanted to work in Colorado.

Over 13 years, Sloan moved up from a secretary to the assistant director of Alumni Affairs at Spelman Women's' College in Atlanta.

"My job is cultivation," Sloan said, explaining how she plans to approach her position at Metro. She said that her job is to make individuals feel good about their school.

Sloan wants the alumni to be kept abreast ofdevelopments at the college and to become a more active part of their alma mater.

During her third year at Spelman, Sloan was a writer for the Spelman Messenger. Her early work consisted of writing newsletters, flyers and press releases outlining alumni accomplishments.

At Spelman she also worked on developing programs to bring the graduates back to the college. One of the special programs Sloan worked with was staffing reunions.

"It was fascinating to call on alumni from

Carolyn ,Champion-Sloan over 50 years and discuss the legacy of their family at the college and share those legacies and traditions with the new students and graduates of the college," she said.

From 1986 to 1990 Sloan was the assistant director of Alumni Affairs at Spelman.

She assisted in planning, organizing and evaluating on-campus · events and said that her fund raising experience should help her at Metro.

In the future, Sloan said she wants "basically to involve large numbers of our graduates in every facet of our college community to increase our ability to help our students financially."

She added that she wants "students to understand that there is a support mechanism for them on the college grounds as well as in the community."

Sloan replaced Donna Woodard, who held the position from November of 1988 to June of 1990.

Forum focuses on date rape issue

You wouldn't want THIS

The best defenses against date rape are awareness and caution, according to panel members participating in an investigative forum on date rape. .

On Nov. 19, members of the Auraria Public Safety, the Denver Police Department , Metropolitan State College of Denver' s Student Health Center, and the Rape Assistance and Awareness Program explained what constitutes date rape, why it happens and how to avoid it.

Sgt. Jim Ferguson, APS public information officer, said that, according to Colorado state law, date rape generally is defined as sexual assault in the third degree, but can also be either first or second degree.

First degree sexual assault is when a person inflicts sexual intrusion or penetration through the use of physical force or by threat of death.

Second degree is penetration or intrusion by any means other than those described in first degree. And third degree sexual assault is when a person knowingly forces any sexual contact.

Ferguson said that one out of every four women, based on the national average, is raped. Sixty percent of the victims are raped by an acquaintance.

Marte McNally, who works for the Rape Assistance and Awareness Program, reported that the ratio of acquaintance rapes on college campuses is higher.

"Nine out of l 0 rapes on campus involve acquaintances," she said and added that only three percent of rapes are reported.

"Many peopk don't call it rape," she said speculating on the reason so few are rerted.

to your LSATscore-

WOULD YOU? Dtnnlt SmHllThe Metropolilan

Having counseled 200 to 300 rape victims, McNally said that many victims who call the Rape Crisis Hotline have been raped by someone they knew, but do not call it a rape.

She said that some of the victims express denial and embarrassmerit over the circumstances of the crime. When people understand what a date rape is they will be more likely to report it; she said.

McNally said that the cause of date rape stems from an attitude of entitlement. She said that some men feel entitled to sex because they spent money on a woman, were sexually aroused, or had sexual relations with the victim before.

Women should be careful and learn to watch for danger signals, according to Det. Carrolyn Priest of the Denver Police Department Sex Assault Unit.

"Listen to how the guy feels about women, sex, and himself before putting your trust in him," she said, adding that people, especially women, need to take responsibility for themselves. "Don't get drunk or do any dope," she warned.

"A woman should take her own car and stay in populated areas if she does not know her date very well." She said women need to be aggressive. "When you say ' no,' say it like you mean it," she said. see DATE RAPE page 8

Victims need to be completely honest about the circumstances surrounding the crime. "Even if the victim has had sex with the suspect before, the crime is still the same," Priest said.

The audience, comprised of 30 males and females, shook their heads and murmured as Det. Al Sandoval of the DPD told of an acquaintance rape case involving a woman who was seven months pregnant.

She was raped and almost killed by a male neighbor.

He said that potential rapists emerge "from all walks of life" and added that the only common denominator among rapists is that they are typically young.

One contributing element of date rape is the presence of alcohol or drugs. Mary Duell, a nurse practitioner at the Student Health Center, said alcohol and drugs are a factor in a majority of date rape cases. Having too much to drink, however, is not an excuse for rape, she said.

The conviction rate for immediately reported date rape is quite high, according to

•ANY AMOUNT • FROM ANYWHERE

Priest. The maximum penalty-for third de~ gree sexual assault is 24 months in jail and a $5,000 fine. She said that, once the evidence is gathered from the victim, the results of the suspect' s blood test are compared with the analyses of the evidence. "Once the suspect is positively .identified, we've got them," Priest said.

For the victim, the effects of rape are indelible. "Date rape is as devastating as any other rape," McNally said. However, only eight percent of rape victims seek treatment.

The symptoms of rape trauma include nightmares, flash backs, an inability to be alone, and self destructiveness, according to McNally.

McNally urged victims to seek counseling. "You can heal ," she said. "Victims neeq a lot of courage and support." The Rape Awareness Program offers free and low cost counseling for victims. The number of the Rape Victim Hotline is 322-RAPE. The Date Rape Investigative Forum was sponsored by the Student Advocacy Organization, an executive branch of MSCD Student Government, the Gentlemen's Council and Delta Phi Omega.

Anthony Vanderhorst, a member of the SAO and a student senator, organized the event. He said that these types of issues need to be discussed on campus. He is in the process of organizing a larger forum.

Date rape leaves victims emotionally scarred Kristi James The Metropolitan It is something she will never forget.

Time has healed the physical wounds, but time can't erase her memories. Her life changed the day she was raped.

Even though three years have passed, J erinifer (not herreal name), 22, can't forget the day she was date raped. However, she has slowly learned to deal with the rape by blocking it out of her mind.

She said, "I do really good at blocking things out. I don't bury it down, I just don't remember. I think of it as happening to someone else."

Jennifer said that she can almost picture herself standing across the room and watching her shell being raped. She feels that putting up a wall helped her deal with the rape.

As in many date rape cases, Jennifer did not report the crime because of guilt and embarrassment. "He forced me to have sex with him but I never thought ofreporting it," she said.

"I felt that I could have done something differently," she said. "I felt like it was my fault. I would tell myself that I shouldn't have been wearing a miniskirt and I shouldn't have drank."

A friend had set her up on a date and everything went well, so she agreed to see him again. Jennifer said that she did notice that he had the tendency to get mad easily, but he never had directed his anger toward her.

It was Easter Sunday when Jennifer was

19. She and her date went to dinner and then to his house. Jennifer said he had a few drinks, but wasn't drunk.

She said they began kissing. He was pulling her skirt and became aggressive. "I began to push away from him and was saying 'no.'"

Jennifer said that, physically, he was not much bigger than her but "he had fits of rage and his adrenalin was flowing. I was really scared," she said.

Jennifer began pushing on his chest, but he was on top of her and had her hands held back and she was pinned to the floor.

"It happened so fast, I just remember yelling 'no,"' she said.

After she was raped, she went home and started crying. "I was holding a pillow in the fetal position and crying hysterically," Jennifer said. She stayed like that for a day.

She said she was a wreck for a month as she kept thinking about the rape It's still difficult for her today. "I am still not over it," she said.

She began to keep a journal and write down her feelings. "I would write down my anger- get it all out on paper," she said.

"I never trusted guys, so this made it worse," Jennifer said. She did not feel comfortable dating and she did not want anyone to get close to her.

Jennifer later found out that the man who raped her had raped his sister and another woman. It was again difficult for her to deal with, but she didn't feel so alone.

Jennifer is not alone.

Mary, (not her real name,J, 32, a Metropolitan State College of Denver student,

was assaulted twice while on dates. Her quick thinking and action prevented rape both times.

The first incident happened when Mary was 19 and working as a waitress at a bar. An acquaintance, whose rugby team frequented the bar, needed a ride home.

Mary said that, when they arrived at his mobile home, he said he didn •t have a key so heneeded her to crawl in through a window.

After she let him in, he pushed Mary backwards, and closed and locked the door.

He grabbed her waist-length hair and twisted it in his hand stretching her neck.

She said that he grabbed her throat with his other hand.

Mary said that she was shaking her head "no" and could not breath. "I did think that he was going to strangle me," she said.

She said that she began to tell him that people had seen them leave together. She kept talking, he let go and she ran out.

The next incident happened on Mary's 21st birthday. A group of her girlfriends had taken her to abar and they met a group of men.

Mary said that the group went back to one of the men's houses. Mary said one of the men asked her to go to one ofthe back rooms so they could talk. As soon as they walked into the room he threw her down.

As he stuck his hand down her pants, she dug her nails into his arm and hit him across the face. Mary said, "Physically, he was not prepared for my assault."

Reflecting on her date assaults, Mary said, "I realized some men are jerks. I was too naive and too trusting."

'Geo~raphiles' win

first place in 2nd Annual Trivia Bowl Joel Lamoreaux The Metropolitan If you break out in a cold sweat every time a geography question is asked while playing trivia games, just be glad the people who. developed questions for the Second Annual Geography Trivia Bowl don 't work for Parker Brothers.

Questions like, "What plot of land lies between Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Kuwait?" tested the knowledge of participants like Dav id Linehan , whose team, " The Geographiles," took first place.

The answer, of course, is the Neutral Zone, according to John Kilcoyne, a professor of earth sciences and cartography at Metropolitan State College of Denver.

It is one of only two international zones on the planet, Kilcoyne said, the other being Antarctica.

"It was great fun," Linehan said. "I enjoyed doing it. Even though two ofus wiJI be student teaching next year, we already have plans to defend our title."

Linehan said that he and his fellow teammates, Bill Wyckoff and John Benoit, spent the evening before the event going over maps and atlases and still couldn' t answer many of the questions asked.

Linehan said that his team was helped by • the fact that both Wyckoff and Benoit had participated last year, taking second place.

In addition, Linehan, who is a history major and political science minor, said that he was helped by his more knowledgeable teammates in studying for the event.

Other examples ofsimple questions trivia teams faced at the bowl were, "What is the largest lake by volume in the world, containing 20 percent of the earth' s fresh water supply?" and "Where is Vanuatu?"

The elimination-style competition not only awarded members of the winning teams

with hard-bound atlases, but members of the audience also won prizes for answering questions.

Around 250 people attended this year's bowl, with eight teams competing. The bowl was Nov. 15 in the North Classroom Building amphitheater, Room 1130.

The event was sponsored by the Metro earth science department, the Earth Science Club, the Meteorology Club, MSCD Student Activities and the Metro School of Letters, Arts & Sciences.

Kilcoyne said that a panel collects question ideas from students, instructors, and the board game "Global Pursuit." The panel then ranks the questions by difficulty into two different groups.

A level-one question might be, "What is the capital of Iceland?" A level-two question might be, "What is the capital of Bhutan?"

A few questions are based on recent events to see how up-to-date students are, Kilcoyne said, such as, "What is the former name of Burkina Faso?"

Two teams at a time compete against each other, seeing which can be the quickest at answering a level-one question, he said.

That team then has the opportunity to answer a level-two question for points.

The second place team was "The Bobs," including Angie Binder, Bob Gower and Bob Rowe. The third place team was "The Determined Probabilists," including Ed Quayle, Laura Littrell and John Donovan.

Just in case you 're wondering, the answers to the unanswered questions as asked in this story are as follows: The largest lake by volume in the world is Lake Biakal.

Vanuatu is North-East of Australia.

Reykjavik is the capital of Iceland.

Thimphu is the capital of Bhutan.

The former name of Burkina Faso is Upper V-0lta.

What do you give to cap off a year of good times~

John Kilcoyne, professor In the earth science department, displays his earthy character.

Student initiates postcard drive Susan Kientz The Metropolitan Some hotels are doing their best to encourage travellers to remember Americans who cannot be home for the holidays.

Laurie Wall in, 23, a Metropolitan State College of Denver sophomore and the director of sales at the Comfort Inn/Southwest Denver, has created the "Services United for Service People," whereby each guest checking into any Hostmark hotel will be giveR a pre-addressed postcard donated by Flatiron Postcard Company, Inc., of Boulder.

These postcards wiJI then be sent to American armed forces in the Persian Gulf, according to Wallin.

"Mail is the most important thing to our troops, and I want them to know that we' re behind them, and we want them to come home safe," Wallin said.

Wallin hopes the properties will facilistcards tate the sendin of 145,000

through the "Adopt-A-Serviceman" program. Volunteers have been busy working to ensure the program is a success.

Postage is needed to route these messages of support overs~ Wallin explained.

There are 26 Hostmark hotels nationwide sending out the postcards. Hostmark properties include hotel chains such as Ramada Inns, Super 8 Lodges and Holiday Inns. Six hotels in the Denver metro area participating in the plan.

Wallin has been attending MSCD for two years and is majoring in hospitality, meeting and travel administration. She has been working at the Comfort Inn/ Southwest Denver for the last year.

Wallin implemented the Services United for Service People because her uncle and her brother-in-law are now serving in the Persian Gulf.

"Services United for Service People is an effort to show community support for our servicemen," she said.

0PLED Romance, roadtrip, rancor

Holiday journey a slice of heaven with hell garnish Dave Plank In the world of romance and courtship, few things can rival ·that first meeting with the in-laws for sheer intimidation power. Even if they aren't in-laws, really, just relatives of someone you think you may be interested in at some future date, the importance of making a good impression looms large in your mind.

Is your handshake firm enough to please her dad?

Is your apparent lifetime earning potential high enough to please her mom? Can you be charming enough to her brothers and sisters that they'll like you, but aloof enough that they won't want to start hanging around your house, drinking your beer and mixing up your alphabetized CD collection?

Normally, of course, that first meeting would last only a few hours, maybe over combination platters at some lousy Mexican restaurant that happens to be her parents' favorite, or at her sister's shotgun wedding, or at the Federal Penitentiary where her brother lives. Or maybe you're a superloser, and managed to pick a girl who's from ·out of state- and this already horrifying ritual will require a nightmarish drive followed by a lengthy stay in her parents' home, presumably over a traditional family holiday.

Guess how I spent my Thanksgiving?

Her parents live in Chicago. We couldn't afford to fly, so we ended up driving across Nebraska and Iowa, two states that can be described almost completely with the words "flat" and "corn," and the name "Earl."

EDITORIAL , -· ·

That should say everything about the trip there except this-about halfway between Des Moines and Iowa City, after a heated discussion about whether to listen to the Scorpions (her) or Robert Cray (me), my traveling companion pulled over to the side of Interstate 80, killed the engine, and offered me $50 to get out of the car and take the bus back home to Denver. My insistence that she take me to a bus station rather than just dumping me off, however, was the dealbreaker, and we continued toward the Windy City in stony silence.

Once we got there, my fears were somewhat alleviated. We were almost speaking to each other again, and a quick survey of her family turned up no missing digits or other causes for alarm. I apparently managed to pass the scrutiny of her mother, who, like all mothers, has developed a sort of X-ray vision which also incorporates a diamond cutter's eye for spotting hidden flaws. Herfatherwas cordial and easygoing, and when I shook his hand I made sure to squeeze extra hard. My girlfriend is the second-youngest of six children, on!y one of whom lives at home. I would be spared the agony of meeting the others until Thanksgiving Day itself.

Actually everything went a lot better than I expected.

What I failed to realize is that there are enough children in the family that they've all been through this whole thing probably more times than they care to remember. I was, after all, just another in a long line of basically interchangeable holiday dinner guests. The

...

only thing they replly had to worry about was not calling me "Bob" or "Chuck" as they passed me the stuffing.

After as many "Bobs" and "Chucks" as they've seen, I'd probably have to do something really awful, like race through the house Jim Thorpe-style with the turkey carcass tucked in my arm, straight-arming the grandkids, before I'd even get a raised eyebrow.

Dinner went fine. I made light conversation with everyone, made a couple of jokes they laughed at politely and fought off the urge to sculpt a bust of Richard Nixon with my mashed potatoes. I complimented her mother on the dinner and helped clear the table after dinner, and responded goodnaturedly to barbs about the Broncos' less-than-dazzling display earlier in the day.

All in all, everything went very well. As much as I wish I had something really awful to say about them, or the time I had, I can't, it just wasn't all that bad.

Nope, they turned out to be pretty OK people, even though they're from the Midwest. And driving back through Iowa on Saturday, I watched the prettiest sunset I've ever seen. It went down behind one of those silos that the sheet metal skin has been peeled off of, so there's just the skeleton standing there, next to a house that looked just like the one the Waltons lived in. It was great until a plane flew across the scene, leaving a trail of jet exhaust that looked like a bright orange scar on the blue sky.

And this time, when she wanted to listen to The Scorpions, I didn't argue.

Met defends right to free speech ''to the death'' Throughout the ages, a multitude of groups and individuals have attempted to stifle ideas and opinions through censorship or violent suppression.

Franc;ois Marie Arouet Voltaire (1694-1778), French philosopher and author, lived during one of those periods of severe censorship. The philosopher decided to attempt to refute most of what the Catholic Church held as sacred and true.

Voltaire's "Essay on the Customs and the Spirit of Nations" rejected the idea of providence; opined that events have more to do with chance than with design; and proposed a new kind of histoire universe/le, based on the revolutionary notion that people are basically alike, no matter what country they live in, endowed with the same natural rights and faculties, destined to proceed along the same path of reason and enlightenment. The essay was a direct attack on the writings of French bish~ Jacques Benigne Bossuet.

As a result, several essays, including Voltaire's, and a number of books by Voltaire and other authors were burned and the writers were imprisoned. Fortunately, it was largely a symbolic gesture since the vast majority of writings still exist.

The burnings of controversial writings prompted one of Voltaire's most well-known attributed quotes: "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."

Perhaps you are wondering Why this is being addressed and what, in fact, the point of it is.

First, that this was not an isolated case of attempted suppression of ideas and opinions.

Second, although it happened more than 200 years ago, inclinations to suppress ideas and opinions have far from disappeared. It happens all the time, even in this period of so-called free-thinking - like in South Africa, for example.

Third, it is necessary to point out what an insidious

creature censorship is. It appears in places where it is least expected - like a college campus, for example.

This brings up the most current cry for censorship, and it occurred on our very own campus, from students and faculty in our very own college.

In the Nov. 16 issue of The Metropolitan, a letter appeared that itemized a series of events which supported the author's opinion. It was an opinion that would undoubtedly meet with a great deal of criticism.

The author has been the center of controversy more than once on this campus, and certainly will be again.

The controversies consistently arise from this student's unreserved exercise of his First Amendment rights.

Once again, this unabashed implementation of freedom has drawn verbal fire against, not only the author, but also the newspaper.

Odd, isn't it? Being angered with the newspaper for supporting the right to free speech.

In any case, in defense of newspaper policy since the First Amendment apparently does not say it clearly enough -people are guaranteed free speech, free press etc. As is stated in the letters policy box on the letters page of The Metropolitan, "Libelous or offensive material will not be published." This means, if a letter contains unprotected forms of speech it will not be published. Offensive, in this context, refers to obscenities, vulgarities and as close to pornography as writing gets. Another tidbit of newspaper policy, the student editor has the right to publish or reject anything with no real reason whatsoever. . . and guess what, that is protected policy under the First Amendment.

Most people would be shocked and probably disgusted if the tremendous latitude of freedom that a student editor enjoys with complete protection was discovered. Example? How's this: from "Freedom for the College Student Press," by Louis E. lnglehart, "Material which is protected includes that which is

inconsistent with constitutional guarantees of racial equality, tasteless articles, materials arousing adverse reactions from politicians or ordinary citizens or newspaper editors, attacks on religion and blasphemy, political pamphlets, dispute, and sentiments not officially approved by aut~orities or officials.n I am appalled that any student or college personnel would not only approve of but encourage any form of censorship. This newspaper would no sooner censor an idea from the aforementioned letter-writer, than from those crying for the censorship. That is the only policy that makes any sense in a world such as this, with its innumerable ideas, endlessly diverse people and constant state of change.

There will be those who reject the above·sensibilities. Those who aren't reading what they want to be after the dreadful, vile and utterly repugnant acts committed by the letter's author and The Metropolitan: For you, yet another form of protected speech. It is called satire: Forgive me, oh, cavilers, for refusing to censor, for honoring the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and printing the offending letter and the opinions contained therein. Let my penance be publishing pablum, meaningless drivel, and forbid the dreaded thought-provoking, revolutionary, unique or, God forbid, interesting ideas atthis institution of higher learning.

May thy minds remain forever closed to ideas not conforming unto your own.

One last thought from Voltaire, "I have never made but one prayer to God, a very short one: 'O Lord, make my enemies ridiculous.' And God granted it."

It is only unfortunate that ridiculous people are the first to reject a logical, rational , reasonable appeal.

Kleg's credibility dillutes point of letter Editor, If I believed that Joel Kleg was credible, with sensibilities and was open minded, then I would take time to appeal to his to his sense of better judgement (if I believed he had any). I would try to engage in a rational and reasonable discussion with him and encourage him to be objective and investigate his facts before he makes judgements about people.

If I believed that Joel Kleg thought things out clearly before he spoke I would engage in an intelligent exchange of ideas with him. I would ask him to look at the history of this country and honestly assess how people of color have been treated. I would ask him for his opinion about how an estimated eight million (low estimate) North American Indians were reduced to two hundred thousand by European settlers and their descendents.

I would venture to ask him about how he felt about Africans being captured, enslaved, broughtto America in chairs and forced to labor under the whip. I would have also asked him for his opinion on the brutal and bloody theft of 40% of Mexico's territory.

If I thought that Joel Kleg could intelligently sort out facts and draw logical conclusions, I would ask him if he thought that the history of genocide and dis-

crimination in this country leCI up to the current social, economic and political relationships that people live under in this society. Then, I would try to find out from him whether he felt that people of color currently live at a disadvantage which is fostered by the institutions of this country. Because if we could agree on this, then there could be a basis for an intelligent conversation on looking for solutions that are fair and just.

If I believed that Joel Kleg was consistent and sincere about his views, I would ask him why he made comments about African Americans that outraged people, causing them to demand his resignation as a student Senator. Then I would ask him how someone who makes racist remarks could be a judge about racism.

After thinking about it, and knowing Joel, and being of the opinion that I, as an informed person, couldn't Possibly take him seriously, have decided not to waste my time. Then, I wonder why a periodical would give space to Joel's incoherent babbling (in my opinion) in the form of an attack against an African American student.

Joe Navarro MSCD student

Racism letter an Editor's Note: response to the letters addressing the example of ''poor taste" letterA partial written by Joel Kleg has been published on the Editor, If Joel Kleg has a problem with Lisa Calderon, President of the BSA, he needs to discuss it with her personally, instead of printing his foul opinions for the campus to read. Joel's letter could almost be expected knowing his history, but the Metropolitan, being a quality publication should know "poor taste" when they see it.

Mary Uhl & Ashara Walker Metropolitan Outreach Coalition

adjacent page. One factual clarification remains necessary. In the letter written by Alvertis Simmons, Simmons accuses The Met of reneging on a verbal agreement with the Black Student Alliance. Simmons failed to state that the BSA has rejected the methods agreed upon to ensure "it's fair share of reporting."

Specifically, use of press releases and a liaison to the newspaper to keep the newspaper informed of events and maintain an avenue for open communication.

Both The Metropolitan and the BSA are responsible for these failings. It should not be misconstrued as an act of racism.

Military aid for El Salvador protested Editor, On September 12, the Lopez family lay huddled on the floor of their house when a grenade thrown by a Salvadoran soi Ider exploded, killing one-year-old Jose Luis Lopez and 23 month old Miguel Angel Lopez.

On September 30, two journalists were assassinated also by Government forces On September 10, a Doctcr was murdered by troops for treating F.M.L.N. rebels.

Jhe bloodbath in El Salvador continues dispite the outcry over the execution style killing of six Jesuits, their housekeeper and her daughter. The U.S. continues to funnel millions of dollars.adding to the $4 billion already given to the El Salvadoran Government.

Saturday Nov. 17 one hundred people gathered outside of the West gate of Lowry Air Force base to

demand 'an end to all war related aid. 13 of the protesters crossed into Lowry in an act of civil disobediance and blocked off the gate. The 13 were arrested and received bar letters and a Federal summons carrying a possible fine of $500 or six months in prison, yet the protesters feel that this is a small price to pay in an effort to bring attention to the Bush Administrations 1991 aid request for El Salvador.

Recently congress voted to cut military funding to El Salvador by 50% but the protests will continue until all aid is cut off and justice is returned to the people of El Salvador.

Kleg, Met accused of racism, ignorance Editor, The letter written by Joel Kleg that appeared in The Metropolitan on November 16, 1990, shows Joel's ignorance and racist attitude of Black people and especially black women. It's evident that the decision making people of this news paper are also racist and ignorant of Black people. Why else would they let an article such as the one Joel wrote about Lisa Calderon being a racist and comparing her to Ida Amin one of the cruelest dictators and killers of all time, be published in the school newspaper?

Let me point something out to you, Metropolitan newspaper and Joel Kleg. Blacks cannot be racists.

Why? Because racism is power and Blacks don't have any power.

Teresa Lenway! I sat in a meeting with you this past spring talking about some of these same issues. In a meeting that was attended by various Black Student Alliance members, President Brewer, and a host of Black Community officials, you said that when you became Editor of the Met a lot of things would change.

You stated that the Black Student Alliance would get it's fair share of reporting whether good or bad. It hasn't happened!

I am sick and tired of the ongoing bickering between Joel Kleg, The Metropolitan, and the Black Student Alliance. Something must be done to secure the harmony on this campus again. But, with the Met printing racist ideas and statements from students it's only going to perpetuate hatred on the Metropolitan State Campus between Whites and Blacks.

Teresa Lenway and the Metropolitan Newspaper staff should be ashamed of themselves.

goes, the people of the city need to change their ways in the practices of trash disposal, according to Leonard.

"Denver will have to get its act together and change the wasteful practices of the past," he said.

Noel said that Denver's future looks bright, and Denver Mayor Federico Pena is making some of that possible.

"Pefia is working on long range plans for Denver with the building of the airport and various parks," Noel said.

Leonard is a third-generation native of Colorado, and Noel came to Colorado in 1966. Both men have written various publications over the last 20 years, on assorted topics of Denver's past.

The book has more than 100 pictures, contains 30 chapters. It will be us~ in Denver history courses, which are taught at MSCD and CU-D. Both authors will be busy through November and most of December promoting their book in Denver area bookstores.

Leonard and Noel will autograph books at the Auraria Book Center at 12:30 p.m.

Nov. 30. On Dec. 8 from I p.m. to 3 p.m. they will be at the Colorado Historicii.J. Society at 1300 Broadway, and Dec. 14 they will sign books from 11 :30 a.m. to I :30 p.m. atB. Dalton on the 16th Street Mall.

Susan Kientz lne--Metropolitan Two Auraria history professors are enjoying life in the lime light after seven years of collaborating on a book about the development of Denver suburbs in the 20th century.

Stephen Leonard, chair of Metropolitan State College of Denver' s history department and Thomas Noel, a history professor at the University of Colorado at Denver, have written a book titled "Denver: Mining Camp to Metropolis."

The book is unique because it emphasizes life in the metropolitan or suburban areas of Denver during the 20th century.

Leonard worked mainly on the chapters dealing with the Ku Klux Klan, labor, women in Denver and the depression during the 1930s.

Noel worked mostly on the chapters dealing with transportation in Denver, including the air age and the "automobility" age or the advent of the automobile.

According to the professors, co-authoring the book had its good and bad points.

"It's a plus to have someone be critical of your work, but it was a minus when we had organization problems or when time was wasted going over the same thing again and

Stephen Leonard, MSCD history department chair, and Thomas Noel, a CU-D history professor, are busy promoting their book, 'Denver: Mining Camp to Metropolis.' again," Leonard said.

"Both of us were involved in every chapter of"the book, even if it was just one paragraph or sentence," Noel said.

Both authors agreed that the writing of the book was a fun seven years. They would get together every Sunday night and talk about Denver's past. Noel' s wife, Vi, would

cook dinner for the two historians. Sometimes Noel and Leonard would get so consumed in the book that Vi would get sick of listening to them quibble, Noel said.

According to Noel, bis wife once said, "The only thing you two talk about is dead people and old buildings!"

'Dickens Distilled,' with atwist, goes down easy Ifind ilt!erydif]icult to ask questions in class.

I'm afraid of sounding stupid. Any sugges: lions as to how t-0 ooerco~ this?

Jill Radecki

Dear Worried:

"Dickens Distilled," a play by the University of Colorado at Denver theater department, is a new twist to the traditional Charles Dickens Christmas play "A Christmas Carol."

"Dickens Distilled," written by Terry Burnsed and directed by Dennis Beck, is a medley of Charles Dickens' lesser-known works including 'The Schoolboy's Story," "Dombey and Son," and "A Tale of Two Cities." The plot of each story is briefly summarized and wrapped around the anothers, each one interrupting the other, leaving the audience in suspense until the final curtain.

The play begins with Charles Dickens, played by Morgan S. Tyler, ill, greeting friends and amusing them, as he does every year, by reading "A Christmas Carol." But Dickens soon turns the tables and asks his gatherers to recite some of his other works.

After a few half-hearted protests they all agree and act out various roles.

Peg Doyle pretends to be the schoolboy and launches into a tale about the boy's school master, Old Cheeseman, played by Dane Torbenson, while the other actors fill in minor parts.

The schoolboy's tale is interrupted by the story of an arrogant, staunch man, played by Eric M. Fry, whose son, Paul, is his father's shadow. The boy's mother has died and he ·has only his father from which to seek love and attention. Paul dies also and the father is left with just a daughter, played by Suzi Kunze, whom he hardly knows.

"A Tale of Two Cities" is also woven in with the other plots providing a taste of

First, be aware that your difficulty is shared by many of your classmates. There are some ways of helping to overcome this. The closer your desk is to the instructor, the less you have to shout out your question.

Also, think about your question as being between you and your instructor. The thought of a large group listening to you may be what is making you nervous.

Finally, is this an issue in other parts of your life? Ifso, some exploration ofyour self-concept may be a helpful route to take. The MSCD Counseling Center can be ofhelp in thisregard.

This may also be a part of a larger problem area - speech anxiety. The Counseling Center has ongoing groups to provide help in thisarea.

Dear CC: I harie a[rrend who was raised in an alcoholic family and doesn't seem tofeel she has a right to e:tpect or demand anything from others.

She u in a very co-dependent, lifle-in, lure relati.omhip and miserable. I try to be supportive but at the same time feel myself getting ooer involved and sad about this 1ituation. I feel guilty about detaching HEIP!!!

Dear Guilty: Having to stand by while a friend sgffers can be a very difficult thing to do. You are right, however, in resisting the urge to get overinvolved. Part of respecting someone (your friend) is allowing them to make their own decisions without interference. This is especially difficult to do when we suspect they are making poor choices. Sometimes we can eliminate the guilt we feel by being reassured thatin the long run we are doingwhatis best for all.Ifthisguiltlingers on, talking to a counselor at the MSCD Counseling Center might be beneficial.

ponder a little more seriously questions such as those Paul asked of his father when he said "Papa, what is money? What does it do?" So if you have an hour to spare and wish to view Christmas as more than credit cards and commercialism, then "Dickens Distilled" makes for an entertaining evening.

"Dickens Distilled" will run at the CU-D

theater from Nov. 27 through Dec. 1. Curtain times will be 7 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday and 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

Special matinee performances will run Nov. 29 at 9:30 a.m., Nov. 30 at 10 a.m. and Dec. 1at2 p.m.

Dear Needing Space: .J

Sometimes our need to keep othersfrom feeling pain prevents us from doing the correct thing.

In attempting to spare your boyfriend the pain of feeling rejected, you are also depriving him of knowing what things you find important for yourself. like needing more space, in your case. Ultimately, this can lead to anger and resentment on your part because you are unable to get·what you need.

Agood rule of thumb is that a healthy relationship must include a way of honestly sharing and communicating what is important to each member. While thismay lead to conflict, honest conflict resolution may actually strengthen the relationship.

Dickens' more wellknown works.

On the simple set of the stage, with only a Christmas tree and a few chairs, the five members of the cast each have one major part and help fill in the minor ones.

Fry and Doyle give the most convincing performances, with most of their characters being slightly louder and more domineering. Both actors slip into the accented speech of their characters easily.

Tyler seems slightly ill at ease throughout the performance and Kunze piays her parts with a little too much timidity.

Although a few lines were stumbled over, the cast moved from one plot to the other fairly easily.

In "Dickens Distilled," the audience is treated to some of the famous author's more thoughtful works that Dane Trouenson, Suzi Kunz!, Peg Doyle and Eric M. Fry, In a scene cause the viewer to from'Dlckens Distilled.'

'It's a Wonderful Life'

Classic movie transformed into dinner theater musical Dennis C. Weidanz The Metropolitan Sometime between Thanksgiving and Christmas, one of the television stations will run the perennial classic movie "It' s a Wonderful Life."

Just about everyone has seen this James Stewart-Donna Reed heart-warmer about poor George Bailey, the man who's tried to do the right thing all of his life in a small town, and now wants to end it all because he feels that he' s a failure.

Through the help of a guardian angel trying to "earn his wings," George is shown bow much bis life has touched everyone in town,andlearnsthathisisindeedawonderful life.

The classic has now been transformed into a musical by writer Doug E. Holmes, with the lyrics and music by Walter Willison and John Kroner. It is currently being performed at the Country Dinner Playhouse in Englewood, starring Andy McAvin as George Bailey, and Tamra Hayden as Mary Hatch Bailey. Clarence, the guardian angel

is played by Bob Moak.

For those who grew up with fond memories of the movie, a musical version must seem like some sort of heresy. Actually, the material is quite conducive to musical adaptation, and the characters are not at all out of place singing their way through the production.

Although Holmes created the musical George Bailey, McAvin gave him life.

McAvin's voice is a joy to hear, even if the music isn't quite Rogers and Hammerstein.

Aside from the musical score, which is less than memorable, McAvin and Hayden make beautiful music together, and their voices complement each other throughout the production Lise Simms as Violet is quite a pistol, and has the ability to put some guts into her siren songs.

The rest of the cast also does a superb job, especially the children. At least six children play the demanding parts of the four Bailey children who do a variety of song and dance routines.

The Heisman Trophy, more hype than hoopla

Dale Shrull

Sports Editor ton will attest to. Actually, his best performance of the year is what hurt his chances the most. An NCAA record 11 touchdown passes against Eastern Washington.

Why was he in the game pouring salt into the open wound of E. Washington when the score was out of reach? To help his Heisman chances. Hype, hype hype. It's everywhere.

It began in September when BYU broke out their promotional ties. Quarterback Ty Detmer. The name Ty, a public relations dream. A name with a built in gimmick.

Enter Notre Dame's Raghib Ismail. A name that's not only a PR guy's nightmare but a tongue-torturer for any announcer.

Enter a nickname: "Rocket." Like blastoff, afterburners, ignition, launching pad, out-of-this-world speed. Now a name to hype.

Hype, hype hooray! The chant goes up.

For CU, the hype started last season after the Orange Bowl. Should they hype Darian Hagan or Eric Bieniemy? When the season began their answer was obvious.

Eric Bieniemy. Public Bieniemy No l.

By golly there's a gimmick.

No, Bieniemy won't win the Heisman.

He bad a great year, be bad great statistics,

The Heisman Trophy. The most coveted, honored award in all of college athletics.

Maybe the single-most recognize athletic award given.

The 1990-91 winner of the Heisman Trophy will be named Dec. l and names being kicked around as favorites are Ty, Eric, Shawn, Raghib and a couple others.

The list of previous winners is impressive and illustrious. Names like Blanchard, Hornung, Staubach, Griffin, Dorsett, Marcus, Herschel, Bo, Barry, Orenthal James, and last year's winner, Andre Ware.

Winning the Heisman doesn't necessarily mean instant success in the NFL, just ask the lil' guy from Boston College, Doug Flutie. But it does mean that the winner is the best football player in college football.

HA! That's a joke.

What wins the Heisman? Two things: Statistics and Hype.

In a way the two go together. Statistics are the easiest thing in the world to hype. In 1988, Barry Sanders averaged over 230 yards a game rushing, that's impressive.

The best statistical player won' t always win the award, as David Klingler of Hous~

he played against tough opposition, but he won't win, nor should he. He put the ball on the ground way too often and, compared to the " Rocket" and Detmer, he looks destined to finish where he should: third.

The Heisman will, as always, be determined by sportswriters. That's brilliant.

That's like putting Stevie Wonder in charge of traffic control.

Sportswriters strung all across the country in different regions . What evidence do they have to decide who wins the Heisman? The tube - TV. Writers in some regions are limited to which players they see. Many writers in the East have probably only seen Detmer once, against Miami early in the season. Bieniemy and CU have made numerous appearance on TV, but one team and one player have the TV hype market wrapped up: Notre Dame and the "Rocket."

The Fighting Irish are on the TV more than dust. Besides seeing Ismail rocketing across your screen on a weekly basis, Raghib has the tradition of Notre Dame behind him.

Seven previous winners have emerged from Notre Dame.

The other thing that writers from around the country have to go on is what other

sportswriters write. A sportswriter depending on another sportswriter? That's a real Dr. Jeykel and Mr. Hype situation.

Hype isn't new, it has been around for a long time. In 1970, Notre Dame had a quarterback by the name of Joe Theismann. At the beginning ofthe season it was Theismann (as in Cheesman). When the hype started, the pronunciation of his name mysteriously changed. Theismann (as in Heisman) was the new pronunciation - how convenient.

Theesmann or Thighsmann - it didn't matter be finished second to Jim Plunkett from Stanford.

Will the "Rocket" win the Heisman or will the Trophy be fit-to-be-Ty-ed . .

The answer will be known on Saturday.

Whether it's the "Rocket" man or Detmer isn't the point. Who should win has become a moot point anymore. Great performances on the field still affect the outcome, but so do advertising campaigns, gimmicks, tradition, TV, favoritism, regions, zodiac signs, teams and maybe a coin flip.

So here goes.

Heads it's the "Rocket", tails it's Ty. Hey, that's as scientific as it gets.

Tails it's.

SPORTS MSCD looking to gun dovvn Cowboys

MSCD women's basketball bounced in Texas The Metropolitan State College of Denver women's basketball team is aiming to improve over the last few seasons under first-year bead coach Darryl Smith and, on Nov. 23 and 24, the Roadrunners found out what a good team plays like.

Traveling to West Texas State University, the 'Runners faced the No. 1 NCAA Division II team in the nation. The outcome of both games was extremely lopsided with the 'Runners getting spanked 93-24 and 78-30.

The 'Runners defeated Colorado School of Mines, 53-49 Nov. 16 and Western State College, 60-52 Nov. 17, so their season record now stands at 2-2.

MSCD will next travel to Grand Junction to play in the Mesa State College Tourney on Nov. 29, 30, and Dec. l.

The tournament will have eight teams participating: MSCD, Adams State College, California Riverside, Fort Lewis College, Emporia State College, Western State College, Western New Mexico University and host team Mesa State College.

Stop that man he stole my basketball No court would convict Adrian Hutt even though he has become a master thief.

Hutt, the starting point guard for Metropolitan State College of Denver, may be a thief - but he's a legal thief.

The 5-foot-9-inch Hutt set the MSCD school record for steals in a game Nov. 21.

Hutt notched 10 steals against Green Mountain College.

The previous record was held by Gene Edwards, who grabbed seven against Westero State College last season.

Kristi James The Metropolitan The Roadrunners hope to take flight Dec. 1 when they soar into the realm of NCAA Division I basketball.

The Metropolitan State College of Denver men's basketball team will travel to Laramie to battle the University of Wyoming Cowboys, an NCAA Division I school.

This will be the first meeting between the schools. MSCD head coach Bob Hull said, "Wyoming is an outstanding team. It will be quite a challenge for us."

MSCD, an NCAA Division II school

which competes in the Colorado Athletic Conference, is 3-2 against Division I schools in their history.

Wyoming finished last season with a 1514 overall record and a 7-9 record in the WAC. This season, they're 1-0 under head coach Benny Dees, who is in his fourth year with the Cowboys.

Wyoming is led by 6-foot-7-inch junior forward Reginald Slater, who was a firstteam All-WAC selection last season. Wyoming defeated Marshall University 96-91 in overtime in the Cowboys season opener.

The last time MSCD faced a Division I opponent was in the 1989 Illini Classic

Tournament at Champaign, Ill. The Roadrunners shocked Mississippi, 86-81 in the first round of the tournament.

MSCD was then defeated 96-62 by Illinois in the championship game.

Hull said that scheduling Division I teams is becoming more difficult.

Division I schools are concerned with the strength of their schedules, Hull said. It might hurt their chances in the national rankings and effect their NCAA Tournament chances if they play a weak schedule.

Junior guard Ralph Rivers leadsMSCD in both scoring and rebounding, averaging 24.7 points and nine rebounds per game. 0

Roadrunners blaze unbeaten path Jim Mack The Metropolitan The Metropolitan State College of Denver men's basketball team is off and running in the J990-9 J season with a 3-0 record.

Before the season began, Roadrunners' head coach Bob Hull said that this season was supposed to be a rebuilding year. After three games it hasn't been that way at all.

MSCD improved to 3-0 Nov . 24 with a thrilling 80-79 win over California State University at Sacramento in California.

Senior guard Adrian Hutt scored 23 points, but no basket was as dramatic as his last one. Hutt buried a three pointer at the buzzer to put an end to a very close contest.

Six-foot-3-inch junior forward Ralph Rivers led the team in scoring pouring in 24 points. The Montgomery, Ala. native also puJled down 12 rebounds.

The victory was MSCD's fourth straight against CSUS. Hull said that he isn't shocked by the 'Runners' rather impressive start.

"I'm not surprised, I'm pleased," Hull said. "We have the potential to win. With so many new guys, we just didn't know what to expect."

The Roadrunners began the regular season Nov. 16 with a 98-91 victory over Langston University of Oklahoma. Rivers scored 31 points and T im Moser snared 11 rebounds to pace the 'Runners. MSCD fol-

lowed the Langston win with a 115-59 drubbing of Green Mountain College of Vermont. The lopsided victory enabled the 'Runners to snap several school records.

The 56-point margin was the largest point differential in team history. MSCD also shot a scorching 65 percent from the floor. New records in team assists (37) and team steals (21) were also set. Junior forward Florian Miller led MSCD with 20 points. · Hull said that the play of his guards has been the key to bis team's early season success.

"Our guards have played real well," Hull said. Hutt and Rivers "have done a great job.

(Senior center) Fred Brown has also played real well."

MSCD swim teams in the fast lane Keenan D. Whittington The Metropolitan The Metropolitan State College of Denver men's and women's swim teams will travel to the University of Colorado Dec. l and 2 to compete in the Colorado Invitational.

Both Roadrunner teams are coming off wins against the Colorado School of Mines Nov. 17. The men won by a 135-97 count and the women by a l 00-80 score.

Two new MSCD school records were set in the meet. Brian Reed won the 200 yard

•Q .

~ !

butterfly in a record time of2:0l.3 l. For the women, Tori Ainlay sliced through the 50 yard freestyle in a record time of 0:26.05.

Head coach Steve Hadley is confident about his teams' chances at the Invitational.

"I think we'll be battling for that first place spot," he said.

Hadley said the men's team wilJ be hurt by the absence of two top performers. Reed and Jeff Neary will not travel with the team to CU, instead they wiJl go to the University of Nebraska to try and qualify for the nationals.

Both swimmers have to swim faster than

a set time in order to qualify for the nationals. Hadley said that Reed needs to swim a 0:58.18 in the 100 yard butterfly and Neary a 0:51.18 in the 100 yard breaststroke.

"I don't think (Reed or Neary) will win, but they'll have a great chance to qualify," Hadley said.

The reason for Reed and Neary going to Nebraska instead of CU, Hadley said, is that they have a better chance. "Lower altitude, better pool in terms of speed. Some pools are just faster than others."

The ' Runners season record is 2-2 for the women and 1- 1 for the men.
