A cry for peace Left; a participant in a candlelight vigil at Civic Center Park, Jan. 14, chants "No blood for oil."

Below; more than 2,500 peace marchers converged on the Colorado capitol, Jan. 12, chanting, among other things, "Hell no,we won't go. We won't fight for Texaco," singing songs for peace and listening to speeches, poems and the list of the 90 casualties suffered by the U.S. at that point. War against Iraq was declared and the first strikes occurred in both Iraq and Kuwait Jan. 16, 1991.

President Bush addressed the nation the same night justifying the attack saying "While the world waited, Saddam Hussein met every overture of peace with open contempt. While the world prayed for peace, Saddam prepared for war." ·

While many students are trying to form opinions on the crisis in the Persian Gulf, others are being asked to fight in it. To date there have been approximately 20 Metropolitan State College of Denver students called to active duty by the armed services.

Lucian LeMak, 24, an MSCD student senator, was forced to resign his position Jan. 15 because he was called to active duty bytheMarinesJan.16. LeMakwasnotified Jan.12. Being called up was "sort of a surprise. Hopefully it will be cleaned up by the time we get there," he said. "I feel like President Bush has bitten off more than he can chew."

When LeMak was asked what his opinion of the war was he said, "losing human lives isn't worth all the oil in the world."

Three other MSCD students have also been activated since Jan. 12. Jeff Puttkammer, 21, an MSCD senior in the aerospace department, was notified Jan. 15 that he had been activated with a combat engineering unit in the Army. In his last semester at_MSCD, Puttkammer said he finds it difficult to leave but realizes he must complete his commitment to the Anny.

Vanessa Thomas, 21, a junior at MSCD majoring in biology, is leaving with the same combat engineering unit as Puttkammer.

Even though Thomas is leaving for possible action in the Persian Gulf, she says that she has no regrets joining the ROTC. Robert Baldwin, 19, an MSCD sophomore, was notified Jan. 15 that he had been activated. "Everybody asked me how I felt.

You can't get excited, you can't be sad, it's weird," he said.

Although only 20 students have been sent to the Gulf, many of those staying behind also have concerns.

Kathryn Teske, an MSCD sophomore, thinks the U.S. military doesn't belong in the Persian Gulf. "I don't think that we should even really get involved over there," she said. "I think we should just leave. I think if we start war over there then they're going to start (terrorist) bombings."

Even though the threat of terrorism is a concern, others feel that President Bush is correct in bringing troops into the Gulf. " I think that we set ourselves up. We gave them a deadline and we gave them all the possibilities, so I think we need to back up our words," said Wanda Braudica, a senior at MSCD. Braudica's opinion has been voiced by many students that consider force to be the only real solution to the events

occurring in the gulf.

"We should wait a couple days, until the 17th. I think it (the war) will be quick. Not lightning quick but I think it'll be pretty short, just because (Saddam Hussein) doesn't have the resources to maintain a long war," said Joe Gates, a junior at MSCD. He said he has a couple friends that have been sent to Saudi Arabia. "They just want to get it over with. They 're not doing anything over there, just sitting around, waiting." Gates said that the United States should go in and take care of the problem now, otherwise, when Hussein gets nuclear capability, a lot more people will be killed.

"As it stands now, I don't think (U.S. forces) have any other choice but to force (Iraq) to pull out," Said Peggy Reimer, a Community College of Denver nursing student. "I think that we set a deadline and the deadline is here. I don't think that the see STORM page 5

Freedom of speech found at Auraria An MSCD student was left speechless after leaving her book and class schedule on January 11.

Worry no more, M.J. Coots, APS has your Freedom of Speech textbook.

APS Officer John Egan noticed an Auraria Book Store bag left abandoned on a window in the northeast door ofthe Arts Building.

In their efficient ways, APS sent a postcard out to Ms. Coots notifying her of the discovery.

M.J. you silly goose; don ' t abandon your books.

You might not be so lucky next time as to have a nice officer find them.

And don' t forget, the postcard is in the mail.

A broken arm. No suspects. No witnesses. Maybe it was the weather. Maybe it was a disgruntled driver.

Whatever the case, APS officer Robert Malafronte was dispatched to the 1100 block of Larimer Street on Jan. 12. The gate arm, used to control traffic, had been broken.

The APS report states that "this officer's investigation found that the inbound, westbound gate arm had been broken off."

Change f rOm Sheild to Storm a shock ;;.._,,;,,,,__---.

Robert Brown News Editor ~As

The Metropolitan went to press

Wednesday night, the first bombs were being dropped and Operation Desert Shield turned into Operation Desert Storm.

In the initial hours following the declaration of war, Metropolitan State College of Denver ROTC soldiers that have been activated displayed extreme nervousness.

'Tm starting to get a little more worried," Robert Baldwin said. "I had (butterflies) all last night and they're starting to get worse now." When asked if he was planning on getting any sleep, Baldwin laughingly replyed "I don't think so."

Despite bis worries, B!Udwin said bis views on the conflict have not changed.

"We need to do it now," he said.

He will have to report to Lowry Air

ultimate reason for us being there is oil. I really believe that it boils down to (Saddam Hussein) believing that be can go in and just take over a country and destroy its people, and I think that the Kuwaiti people are getting lost in the whole issue."

Even though war in the Persian Gulf is thousands of miles away, many students are considering what their role may be. Gates said the war would not affect him "unless

Force base)an. 20, that's all he knows.

As for Vanessa Thomas, a fellow cadet, and Jeff Puttkammer, who are in the same unit, they have been "decelerated." They are still on alert, but are not on the hot seat yet.

'Tm really hopeful that it will be over soon," Thomas said. "But I'm glad the waiting is over."

Shirley Puttkammer, Jeff's mother, was crying Wednesday evening, but stood behind the developing hostilities in the Persian Gulf.

"This is something we have to do right now, otherwise it's going to be over here," she said.

Jeff is her only child.

On campus, shock was the prevailing emotion.

"It's kind of scary," said Holden Jones, who just got out of the Army.

Jones said he has friends still in the army and bis unit is in the Gulf right now.

He said that he could be reactivated if necessary.

Chester Horbei, a graduate student at University of Colorado at Denver said he is worried about terrorist attacks, especially since he lives close to Lowry Air Force Base.

'Tm terrified of being drafted," said Jeff Nyestron, a CU-D senior. "One of my family members went through the Vietnam era, so that experience has worn off on me. It's just terrifying."

Tracy, an MSCD sophomore who did not want to give her last name, said she is "not in support of the war at all," but said, "There was a stalemate and this is what they needed to do.

"I'm really surprised they went in as fast as they did."

they start the draft. If they start a draft, then I'll go."

Many of the MSCD students that are in the military reserves and National Guard are concerned about how they will withdraw from class and if they can get their money back if they are activated.

According to Alonzo F. Rodriguez, assistant dean of admissions and records, students can either withdraw from classes and receive their money back or if they are activated later in the semester they may

receive incompletes for their classes and finish them when they return. Rodriguez said that, normally, if a student receives an incomplete they have a year to make that class up. However, for students that have been called to active duty, the one yearlimit has been waived.

Rodriguez, who himself is a former National Guard member, said that the policy, which was written in October or November, bas been accepted in part or whole by the other schools on the Auraria Campus. 0

A study in butt-kissing

Dan leaves students Holden dinner bill their actions.

See, if that dinner was all that Dan decided to spend money on, it would be one thing. But it wasn't. Dan's Guess what, everybody?

He President Tom Brewer. says everybody's just picking on him.

Then, when the check came, Dapper Dan decided So, in a sudden fit of misguided purposefulness, the to ignore the rule about pre-approved purchase orders MSCD Senate, or what there is left of it after all the and simply signed his name to it, Donald Trump-style. expulsions, indictments and electro-shock therapy, When questioned by MSCD administrators about passed a vote of no confidence in Yolanda Ericksen, this, uh, unusual method of student fee fund liquida- their adviser/babysitter who has the unfortunate task tion, Dan grew unusually defensive and testy. "It was of cleaning up their paperwork and keeping all of their too approved," he reportedly sniffed. "You guys just noses wiped. want to give me a hard time."

How Ericksen felt about this isn't known, although Of course, it's not unusual for student government honored would probably be a good guess, and nothing officials to brown-nose college presidents over dinner much happened. Everybody who counts stopped (although we, at Metro, can proudly say that our paying attention to this collection of hopeless ingrates student government personnel display an extraordinary a long time ago. aptitude, not to mention taste, for smooching away at After this, Dan kept a pretty low profile, at least until high-level butt cheeks), but it is somewhat out of the last Tuesday, when he popped in for a cameo appearordinary for them to be able to spend our money any ance at the anti-war rally that took place on the mall way they see fit, without being held accountable for outside the Student Union. As the liberals in the crowd

Dave Plank

voiced their anti-war sentiment, Dan solicited for new Young Republican members. Faced with the reality that no one in the audience was listening to whom they perceived to be just another sweatpants/flannel shirt clad member of the American Nazi Party, Dan grew visibly frustrated .

And when, to counter the anti-war chants, one patriotic member of the audience began to chant "U.S.A." over and over, Dan joined in, shouting louder than anyone, as if it was his idea. It was obviously a proud moment for a man who has been waiting his whole life for something powerful, yet monosyllabic, to say.

Of course the really ironic part of all this is that it won't even be this year's pathetic, awful student government and president who will be penalized for the wrongdoings of this year's pathetic, awful student government and president.

Nope, next year there will be some all-new poor sap who will have to bear the penalty for everything that has gone on in Metro student government this year, from Holden's temper tantrums to his oafing through senate meetings and pay vouchers.

Even if they want to accomplish something worthwhile.,they will be hobbled by the Holden legacy. Only by then, Dan Holden will be only a nightmare that once was for the poor people who now have to deal with his bloated ego and razor stubble on a daily basis.

I just feel sorry for his mom.

Roller coaster season to enter CAC play

Men's basketball Jim Mack The Metropolitan

Most sports teams, regardless of the level of competition, go through some highs and lows during the course of a season. This theoryholdstrueforthe 1990-91 Metropolitan State College of Denver men's basketball team.

After jumping off to a strong 3-0 start, everything was looking up for the Roadrunners. Then came trouble. Starting point guard Adrian Hutt broke his left hand in a game in Laramie against the Wyoming Cowboys.

Not only did MSCD lose 86-75, head coach Bob Hull feared that the quarterback of his team was lost for at least six weeks and possibly for the entire season.

Hull said that, at that point, his team would simply have to handle adversity, stick together and work just a bit harder. That is exactly what they did.

Hutt bounced back faster than anybody expected and returned after missing just three games, all MSCD victories.

The 'Runners continued to play well after Hutt returned. They won eight straight games in all after their early season loss to the Cowboys and forged an impressive 111 mark.

MSCD has hit a little stumbling block since their 11th win of the year over HawaiiHilo Jan. 5.

Three consecutive losses have dropped the 'Runners to 11-4.

Last Saturday's 66-64 overtime loss to Eastern Montana was especially frustrating for Hull but he is keeping things in perspective.

"We had our chances to win but we couldn'tdoit," HullsaidofSaturday'sgame. " It all evens out. You win some tough ones and you lose some tough ones."

Hutt is the MSCD leader in assists aver-

aging IO a game. The 'Runners are led in scoring by junior guard Ralph Rivers with nearly a 22 point average. Rivers also averages seven rebounds a game.

Fred Brown, the 'Runners 6-foot-8-inch senior center, is second in scoring for MSCD pouring in 16.5 points per game and senior forward Tim Moser has taken charge on the boards averaging 8.3 rebounds. Hull feels that what's done is done and now be bas bis troops looking ahead.

Jan. 21 will mark the first Colorado Athletic Conference game on the Roadrunners' schedule. MSCD will play Regis College and, once again, the game is away from home. The new Auraria Gymnasium is still not near completion and Hull doesn't expect his team to be playing on their home see HULL page 65

The U.S. Olympic Festival Committee made its final visit to Denver in December and the city was given high marks in its attempt to host the festival in 1993, '94 or ' 95.

If Denver is selected as a site for one of the festivals, the Auraria Campus could be one of the areas used for competition, according to Fred Fisher, executive director of the Denver Games Committee.

Fisher said that the new Auraria Gymnasium would be a more than adequate place to hold table tennis and fencing competition.

"The new gym has good seating and a very high ceiling," Fisher said. "It would be an ideal place to hold some of these events."

Last July, the Denver Games Committee submitted a bid to host the Olympic Festival. In October, Denver was chosen to be one of the possible sites to hold the event.

Miami, Baltimore, St. Louis and San Antonio were the other cities selected as finalists.

Initially, 11 cities placed bids in hopes of hosting the festival.

Fisher said that the location of the Auraria Campus can do nothing but help its chances.

He said that the downtown location would allow people to walk to the campus and watch the competition.

Denver will make its final presentation to the Festival Committee in Dallas, Jan. 31.

The Olympic Festival will be awarded to three of the five cities on the following morning.

Fisher is very confident about Denver and Auraria's chances to host the event.

"We definitely feel that we can get the festival here for one of those years," Fisher said.

SPORTS A view from the press box Dale Shrull Sports Editor

t

The roadrunner: a long-tailed, swiftrunning bird normally found in the Southwest and Mexico.

No wonder the Roadrunners had so much difficulty adapting to the tropical climate of the islands of Hawaii.

After pounding Hawaii-Hilo, Metro State upped their winning streak to eight games and appeared to be ready to continue their run all the way to the post-season NCAA Division II tournament. It would have been a real deja vu journey all over again.

So what happened? They lost the next two games in Hawaii and then- gasp! the Roadrunners lost a THIRD straight game.

Three straight losses, oh no, the team is in shambles, they're no good, they've been overrated, that eight-game winning streak must have been an act of God how else could it have happened?

Hold it right there, pilgrim!

This is still a pretty country-fair basketball team. No, the eight game winning streak wasn't a fluke. They beat some good teams .

Roadrunners ready to fly and their only loss up to that point was a hard-fought contest with the Wyoming Cowboys.

So why the three game losing streak?

Could it be that roadrunners should stay in the Southwest, or in the case of the MSCD Roadrunners, the Rocky Mountain region.

Yes they should.

A road trip to Hawaii, well that's a road trip where roads can't go. After the 3000plus mile trek into tropical paradise, the Roadrunners played three games in four days. And an island full of distractions.

Yes, a loss was waiting to happen. Unfortunately two losses happened.

Due to a strange scheduling arrangement, MSCD would play their next game in Billings, Mont. against Eastern Montana. A team they had defeated in December in Denver.

Now they would have to play a rival team on the road after a grueling trip. A team looking for revenge.

The result was a down-to-the-wire 64-60 overtime loss.

Now a three-game losing streak for MSCD. A streak that had MSCD fall out of

the Top 20 like a bag of wet cement plummeting to the ground.

MSCD is now on the brink of their conference schedule. A new conference, the Colorado Athletic Conference.

Everything the Roadrunners have faced th is season has prepared them for the conference schedule: injuries, no real home-gym, inexperience, tough road games in Wyoming, Montana and Hawaii.

The 'Runners are a tested-tough team that has faced adversity.

Yes, MSCD will be ready to handle the little ole CAC. "We've played a real tough non-conference schedule and that should help us," head coach Bob Hull said.

If MSCD has any plans to make the NCAA Division II tourney this season, they'd better rip through the CAC. With the CAC being a new conference, the NCAA will not extend an automatic bid to the conference champion. This means that MSCD will have to gain an at-large bid.

To make the tournament, Hull said he thinks they will have to win at least 22

games. Standing at 11-4 and only 12 games left in the regular season that makes the addition fairly simple.

Before the losing streak, MSCD reached No. 9 in the national rankings. Now they'll have to start over and begin the slow climb up the rankings ladder. To make the postseason tournament, MSCD will have to be ranked and ranked high.

If it will take 22 wins like Hull says, they'll have to put together a string of wins like they did before. The key is they know that they can do it.

So the CAC now stands before the Roadrunners for their taking. If they take it, and take it convincingly, most likely the NCAA will send them an invitation.

The formula to makethe tourney is simple, win the CAC, win the CAC tourney, win, win, win. That's all.

The more they win and the higher they climb in the rankings will be the determining factor in whether these Roadrunners will fly into the NCAA Division II tournament.

Winning will be the only thing that gets these birds off the ground.

MSCD women make history with .500 mark f

Jill Kearney The Metropolitan The Metropolitan State College of Denver women 's basketball team has opened the season with a 7-7 record.

They evened their record following a 6460 win over Eastern Montana, Jan.14.

For a team that has no true home gymnasium, due to the $4.5 million renovations to the Auraria Gymnasium, seven wins seems somewhat impressive. But what is more impressive is this is the first time in MSCD history that the women's basketball program has reached the .500 mark this late in the season.

The win over Eastern was surpnsmg given the fact that the Yellowjackets came

in with a 13-3 record.

Although they lost the game, Smith was encouraged by the teams play because he expects DU to battle the Air Force Academy for the conference title.

Smith's encouragement turned into satisfaction when the ' Runners downed CAC foe Colorado Christian University 63-44 Jan. 12 to even their conference record at 1l.

• The Roadrunners are led this season by sophomore center Holly Roberts who is scoring at nearly a 13 point a game clip and, according to Smith, she is one ofthe nation's leading rebounders grabbing more than 14 a game.

Other top contributors are Robinson, scoring over 11 points a game, and sophomore Michelle Thomas, adding close to 11 points a game.

Losing st_reak now 3 tor , Roadrunners .

'

Dale Shrull Sports Editor After racking up an eight-game winning streak, the Metropolitan State College of Denver men's basketball team has taken a tum for the worse - a three game tum for the worse.

The Roadrunners saw their losing streak hit three games after being nipped in overtime by Eastern Montana College 66-64, on Jan . 12.

The Roadrunners' fate was sealed when Eastem's Lance Vaccarelli hit a 15-foot jumper with two seconds remaining.

Before the losing streak, the Roadrunners had reeled off eight straight wins which vaulted them to No. 9 in the NCAA Division II rankings. When the· new rankings were released Jan. 15, MSCD had fallen out of the Top 20.

The Roadrunners traveled to Billings to play the game following a trip to Hawaii where they had just played three games in four days. Even though the 'Runners were at the end of the strenuous travel schedule,

head coach Bob Hull refused to make excuses.

"I didn't see any serious effects from the Hawaii trip," Hull said. "We played real well and we had a chance to win but we didn't make the shots down the stretch."

According to Hull, Eastern Montana is one of MSCD's biggest rivals and to play them after a tough road trip is difficult.

The Roadrunners defeated Eastern Dec. 17, 79-75 in Denver.

"That's one of our toughest trips we make," Hull said.

Hull also said that he tried to arrange the schedule differently so MSCD wouldn 'thave to travel to Billings directly after the Hawaii trip, but no other schedule alternative could be found.

Adrian Hutt led the 'Runners with 16 points.

Following the loss, MSCD's record now stands at 11-4.

ThenextgameforMSCDwill beJan.19, when they take on New Mexico Highlands University at the Colorado Mines Volk Gymnasium. Tip off is slated for 7 p.m.

floor anytime soon.

Hull knows that playing all of the games on the road is not an easy chore for his club. ''The kids have done a good job because practicing and playing in all different places is hard," Hull said. "If some of those close losses were played at home, we could have won some of those. I think it's made us a much better road team."

Hull believes that beating his rivals in the Clthy VanSchwlttz/1be Metropoi1an CAC is a big key to a Head coach Bob Hull successful season.

"Many people picked (the University of) think we match up real well. We've been in Southern Colorado to win the league and I some tough games," Hull added.

The highs and lows continue to be a part know that (the University of Denver) is of the 1990-91 Roadrunner team.

Hawaii trip no paradise for Roadrunners Dale Shrull Sports Editor Hawaii is known for beaches, sun, fun and generally as an all-around paradise, but for the Metropolitan State College of Denver men's basketball team, paradise wasn't found on the court.

During their three-game trip to Hawaii from Jan. 5 to Jan. 8 the Roadrunners won the first game but lost the final two contests.

The 'Runners hit the 50th state by squeaking by the University of Hawaii-Hilo 76-74. That victory was MSCD's eighth in a row, but the winning streak would soon come to an end.

Senior forward Tim Moser iced the game by hitting a jump-hook with two seconds remaining.

Moser's shot culminated a furious second half comeback for the 'Runners. Trail-

ing by as much as 20 points in the first half the 'Runners cut the lead to 41-29 at the intermission.

The Roadrunners shot a blistering 73.1 percent in the second half to fuel the rally. A three pointer by Ralph Rivers with 9:50 left in the game put MSCD up 54-53.

The 6-foot-3-inch Rivers led the 'Runners with 23 points, while Moser added 19 and grabbed a game-high eight rebounds.

The second stop on MSCD' s trek through Hawaii was agame againstChaminade University. The Chamjnade Silverswords, behind a 35-point performance by George Gilmore, downed the Roadrunners 92-89 in Honolulu.

Trailing by a 41-38 count at the half, the 'Runners could only match Chaminade's 51 points in the second half sealing the threepoint defeat.

Rivers again paced MSCD with3 l points.

Point guard Adrian Hutt chipped in 18 points and dished out 11 assists for MSCD. Playing their third game in four days, the Roadrunners lost their second straight by falling to Brigham Young University-Hawaii 89-78.

MSCD could muster only 24 points in the first half, a season low for points in a half, and trailed by 19 points.

The 'Runners mounted a second half rally behind junior forward T.J. Milan, who scored a career-high 21 points, all in the second half.

Once again the 'Runners were led by team scoring leader Ralph Rivers who tallied 25 points.

The two straight losses by MSCD marks the first time since the 1988-89 season that the ' Runners have dropped two consecutive games.

Roadrunners get break; Hutt returns Met Staff

Following the loss to the University of Wyoming, the Metropolitan State College of Denver men's basketball team received some even worse news: point guard Adrian Hutt was out indefinitely with a broken left hand.

As it turned out, indefinitely meant three games. Hutt missed only the Colorado School of Mines, Kearney State College and Western State College games. MSCD won all three.

When Hutt was injured, head coach Bob Hull said, "He's one guy we couldn't afford to lose."

Last season his 227 assists set the MSCD single season record and ranked him 13th best among the nation's NCAA Division II schools.

So when Hutt returned to the starting lineup after three games he was a welcome sight.

Although he isn't back to 100 percent, Hull is pleased with Hutt's performance since returning.

"He's playing real well," Hull said.

Hutt must play with a protector over his left hand, but Hull doesn' t think it has hindered the 5-foot-9-inch Peoria, Il.-product very much. " Hecan'tgo to his left as well as he could before ... and sometimes he's conscious of it," Hull said.

According to the MSCD Sports Information Department, Hutt is leading the nation in assists in NCAA Division II, averaging 10 assists per outing.

Hull realizes that no player means more to his team than Hutt.

"He gives us a big lift and now he leads the country in assists in Division II," Hull said. "He's one of the best guards in the country."

Numbers show that the injury has had orily a small effect on Hun's production.

Before the injury, Hutt was averaging 16.5 points, IO assists and 4.3 rebounds a game.

In the eight games following the injury, Hutt has averaged 12.4 points, IO assists and four rebounds. a

LETTERS ·HB 1117 to thwart student fee funded activism, quashing student voice in gov't Editor, I am writing because of my concerns over House Bill 1117. This bill would take away students fundamental rights of democratic representation. Why should students be denied rights that are applicable to the rest of society? House Bill 1117 would prohibit the use of student fees to represent student concerns, even if students have democratically approved those fees through campus elections.

It is ironic that th is bill should come b~fore the state legislature at a time when fellow students are asked to defend and possibly die for the rights of their country.

Students should have the right as a community to decide who we want to represent us and the right to fund organizations and groups which address our concerns on campus, in the community and at the state and national levels.

All student organizations and groups are entitled to the same basic democratic right of representation enjoyed by American society as a whole.

Catherine Battock MSCD student (Included with letter) FACTS ON HB 1117 THE PROBLEM: HB 1117 WOULD TAKE AWAY THE DEMOCRATIC RIGHTS OF STUDENTS This legislation would severely restrict the rights of students to participate in the political process through their elected leaders and organizations. HB 1117 would prohibit the use of student fees to represent student concerns, even if students have democratically approved those fees through campus elections.

SUMMARY OF THE BILL The first section of the bill prohibits student governments or associations (CSA) from using, student fees to lobby on a!lj'. public policy issues either on campus or at the Capitol. This means that students would no longer have an effective voice on campus to represent student concerns to the administration and governing boards or have a voice at the state and U.S. Capitols to represent our interests.

The second section of the bill defines "political organization" as any group on campus that is "directly or indirectly concerned with influencing federal, state, or local public policy or political campaigns." This would mean that many student organizations on campus could only be funded through donations. This would include student government, student clubs that work on campus issues, and organizations that work on public policy issues such as PIRGs. Campus newspapers would no longer be abe to receive student fee monies since they often express views that could influence public policy.

The passage of this bill would set broad restrictions on the use of student fees for many activities that are at the core of students' democratic rights, including the right to vote to fund student groups which represent their concerns.

STATEMENT OF OPPOSITION All student organizations and groups are entitled to the same basic democratic right of representation enjoyed by American society as a whole. Student organizations such as CSA and CoPIRG have been established and renewed through the democratic process. We urge all student governments and all student groups to voice their opposition to this attack on their democratic rights.

U.S. atrocities in Panama stifled to maintain popular support of U.S. action in Mideast Editor, The troops fired indiscriminately at civilians.set homes ablaze, bombed and strafed non-military areas, killed the wounded civilians with rifle butts, mutilated their genitals, carried out summary executions and then covered up their atrocities by confiscating and destroying physical evidence, burying bodies in mass graves and intimidating witnesses.

These events happened not in Kuwait by Iraq but rather in Panama During last year's invasion. Like the Iraqi forces, the U.S. troops committed a wholesale bloodbath during and after"the occupation. Keeping the American public ignorant to the events of the Panamanian invasion is of utmost importance to the Bush Administration, if public support for a Mideast war is to be maintained.

The evidence of hundreds of Panamanian wttnesses is just beginning to come to light. Human rights groups such as Americas Watch, CODEHUCA Report, Am-

nesty International and the Latin American Studies Council have received evidence from hundreds of Panamanian citizens who witnessed the bloodbath that occurred at the hands of U.S. troops.

Even the Red Cross, 60 Minutes and the Vatican reported that the official U.S. Governmental body count of Panamanian civilians was far too low.

Many Americans who support a war in the Persian Gulf do so because they believe that America has the moral grounds to fight Iraq. With almost full support from the media, Bush has been able to misdirect focus away from U.S. foreign policy in Panama, El Salvador, The West Bank and many other places. The eyes and ears bf the Americans who actually believe the noble motives that Bush spews forth, must be opened. Let us hope it happens before the body bags start being shipped home.occupied.

Ego trips in "fantasy cars" fuel anger Editor, I was appalled at Laura Anderson's article entitled "Luxury Car Fantasy Shifts Into High Gear" in the December 7, issue of the Metropolitan. She fails to mention that these "fantasy cars" are also gas guzzlers.

Although it was just a fantasy, I believe it would be far better not to hype gas guzzling automobiles, especially when we are on the verge of yet another fuel crisis let alone a war where people will lose their lives over the "precious" oil to power these and all other cars.

We need to be sending a message of conservation, not self-centered gratification of our egos. It's time to change the wasteful and environmentally damaging "live for today, and to hell with tomorrow" attitudes of this wasteful country.

I would like to think that the passengers in the other cars who were giving sidelong glances at the car she was in were not looks of envy, but looks of anger.

Anger about why this country's automobile industry is still designing and building these gas hogs, when they have the capability and technology to build 50 mile per gallon cars.

Yeah sure -this was just a fantasy, but it's time to face reality!

Student government embroiled in controversy Shawn Christopher Cox The Metropolitan

As an older student at JUetro, each semester is filled with anxiety about whether I will succeed in the classes I choose. I always feel so intimidated in class because most of the students already seem to ha'l!e a great understanding of what is going on and I feel lost. The fact that I continue to get good grades doesn't ease the anxiety.

After classes are O'l!er, I only recall bits and pieces of what I learned and wonder if that is normal?

Dear Returning Smdent:

Most returning students initially feel anxious about their academic performance. Usuallyaftertakingsomeclasses and developing their study skills, new students gain confidence. Professors value older students for their eagerness to learn and their unique life experiences. Metro is particularly rich with students from diverse backgrounds.

Metropolitan State College of Denver Student Government will hold a no confidence vote for its adviser, Yolanda Ericksen, director of Student Activities for MSCD. A vote of no confidence means that the student government would like to see someone else as their adviser. Their vote has no real authority.

Assistant Vice President of Student Affairs Karep Thorpe said that the vote of no confidence, "means nothing except to be hurtful."

Dan Holden, president of student government, said, "I have a problem with a vote of no confidence." However, regarding Ericksen as adviser, he said, "I would prefer to see somebody else."

Ericksen was appointed the position of adviser by the administration.

"I have not been given any information. I have not read anything officially," Ericksen said, concerning the vote of no confidence.

In the resolution, it states that, "Yolanda Ericksen has proven to be detrimental to the justified functions of the ASMSCD Student Government. The ASMSCD Student Gov-

emment feels that having Yolanda Ericksen as their adviser is not in the best interest of the ASMSCD." Authorization of more than $500 for Christmas lights and candy canes is another issue currently involving the student government.

The student government submitted the bill for authorization to Ericksen, who is responsible for the account. At this point, the office of Student Affairs is reviewing the charge.

Antonio Esquibel, vice president of MSCD Student Affairs, said that any bill of more than $500 must go out for a bid to venders to get the lowest price.

He said that if student government would have submitted two vouchers, there would not have been a problem.

Holden said that the student senate approved the buying of the lights and candy canes and that two separate purchases should have been made.

Another problem facing student government is a dinner bill from the downtown Armadillo. However, this is a personal problem for Holden.

On the pill was the purchase of alcohol.

At MSCD there is an institutional policy that

One habit you seem to have is comparing yourself to otht!rs. Comparisons can he comforting, of course. The humorist Garrison Keiller claims all the children in Lake Wobegon are ..above average."

~-o-~-o-·-c-

The renowned psychologist B. F . Skinner is quoted as saying, "Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten."

--~lJ~

However, comparing yourself to others is detrimental in the long run. The underlying incorrect belief is that how we feel about ourselves ought to be contingent upon how well we do. And furthermore, we should measure this by comparing ourselves to others. These beliefs get us into trouble. Our feelings about ourselves are at the mercy of our most recent performance , and, of course, we always can find others who out perform us.

One strategy is to directly question these beliefs. What is the evidence that [am a better person if I can do X, or even that it is legitimate to compare two people?

One of the counselors at the Center has the sign in her office, "Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly .., Many more rational ways of approaching this can be found iil Burns' paperback, Feeling Good. lndividual, group counseling and/or biofeedback training also can be helpful in dealing with performance anxiety. As for forgetting a lot of what you've learned, this is normal. In fact, psychologists have plotted learning curves that show we forget a great deal of material soon after learning it.

Remember that your professors have an opportunity to relearn the.ir subject every time they teach it!

student fees cannot be used for the purchase of alcohol. Holden, however, went ahead and turned in the bill. Holden refused to comment on the whole issue of his dinner at the Armadillo.

In an earlier interview, Holden commented that student government deserves to reward itself with incentives, such as parties and trips.

According to Thorpe, the alcohol purchased will not be paid by the college. This means that Holden will have to pay for the alcohol himself.

The office of Student Affairs is also in the process of reviewing last month's expenditures for ASMSCD Student Government to make sure proper procedures were followed.

Whether or not these procedures were followed is a different story according to Thorpe.

Holden summed up student government's existence by saying they are doing a "phenomenal" job. Despite his confidence, some students would disagree.

Gerri Madrid, employee of MSCD Student Activities and a former senator, said, "They're being paid to serve tbe students and not to buy letterhead and business cards for themselves."

Campus smoking ban butt of criticism Adam Schockley The Metropolitan The Auraria Higher Education Center officially banned smoking in all campus buildings Jan. 1.

Although the smoke is gone, facult~ members and students who oppose the ban insist that a fire of protest is just beginning to burn.

According to Cheryl Corro, assistant AHEC administrator, the action was in accordance with Gov. Roy Romer' s Executive Order 3690 that snuffs out smoking and the sale of tobacco products in all state buildings under his control. Romer suggested Legislative and Court buildings draft a similar policy but they are not bound by his order.

Acting heads of the three campus institutions charged Jo Ann Soker, AHEC director, to implement the policy. Auraria students and faculty who want to smoke must now go outside to light up. Romer wrote in the Order that "willful violation of this Executive Order may subject an employee to corrective or disciplinary action."

University of Colorado at Denver faculty members Griselda Ramos-Perea and Federico Cordovez, who oppose the ban, met with Metropolitan State College of Denver secretary Pam Woojon to wait for a meeting with student vice president Chris Vanderhorst. Vanderhorst did not show up for the meeting.

But that did not stop the small group from venting intense feelings about the ban.

"It's like saying 'we don' t like you, we don't want you here,"' Woojon said.

"It's .completely unreasonable because we used to have one room in the Central Classroom Building where we could smoke," added Perea. "We were not endangering anyone or offending them in any way and now they do this. By this action they are exposing people (smokers) to inclement weather by making us go outside to smoke."

Cordovez said it's a question ofrespect.

"It' s totally disrespectful to the teachers,"

TIVOLI BREWERY 9th off Auraria Parkway

571-1000 C&thy VanSchwartz/The Metropolitan

Sheri Axler, a transcript clerk at the registration office for MSCD enjoys a cigarette outside.

Smoking has not been allowed in campus buildings since Jan. 1. he said. "I don't have any health insurance here and they wouldn't pay one cent for me if I got sick. It's a form of repression, that's all." Woojon maintained that she's heard from numerous faculty and staff interested in mounting a petition. The three said they know of nothing they can do to change th~ rule. "A lot of the students don't study at school any more," Woojon said. "They used to be able to smoke and do their homework in a smoking lounge but now !hey go home because they can't smoke." The question that all of them seemed most anxious to answer concerned the penalty if they were caught smoking. "What are they going do to us if they catch us?" asked Woojon.

"They're just trying to tum us into criminals," said Cordovez.

Sergeant Jim Ferguson, public information officer for Auraria Public Safety, chuckled at the suggestion that smokers caught violating the order would be treated in a severe manner. Ferguson emphasized that APS officers would deal with smoking violations in the same way as any other problem. "In the worst case," Ferguson said, "a person violating the order would be asked to stop. If he or she refused, then it would become a different problem. The person would be refusing an officer' s direct request and that would be breaking the law. In that

case, very likely they could be arrested."

Ferguson said that APS does not anticipate any difficulties with compliance. "There were rumors of complaints afoot when smoking was limited to designated areas, and that was accepted. Now it's been moved outdoors and we think this will turn out the same way," he said.

Community College of Denver student Kathy Steel,who frequents The Mission, has initiated a petition to restore smoking at the campus bar. Although The Mission is privately owned, it also must obey the rule as an Auraria tenant. At press time, the petition had been signed by 23 smoking and 18 nonsmoking patrons from all three schools including all of The Mission employees. Steel plans to present the petition to AHEC once she thinks enough people have had a chance to read it.

The hand-written petition states: "Regular visitors of The Mission, smokers and nonsmokers, believe it is unfair that we cannot smoke while drinking beer, especially after paying such fees for the Student Union." The declaration is followed by signatures of supporters who included their names, the school they attend and whether or not they smoke.

According Corro, AHEC has received no complaints about the ban.
