Senator proposes 'Runner may be on road to Gulf Holden's impeachment

Freshman Roadrunner guard, Hosea McQuilla, 23, sings the National Anthem at MSCD's game against University of Southern Colorado on 路 Jan. 26. Teammate and friend Florian Miller looks on during the emotional rendition. The team held hands as ashow of support and empathy for McQuilla who was called to active duty in the Army the day before the game. McQuilla reported to Fort lee, Va., Jan. 31 to prepare for possible duty in the Persian Gulf. (See related story page 10.)

Shawn Christopher Cox The Metropolitan

While investigations of suspected misuse of student fees continue, a proposition to impeach Dan Holden, Metropolitan State College of Denver's student body presi1 dent, was introduced. Tom Black, student senator, initiated, "A resolution calling for the impeachment of Dan Holden from the office of president of the Associated Students of Metropolitan State College of Denver." Black said the resolution will go before the senate the fast meeting in February. In the resolution, Black stated the reason for impeachment being the numerous allegations of unauthorized expenditures. Black said he believes Holden sh_ould be brought to trial, "on charges of misfeasance and malfeasance to the AS MS CD JudicialBoard with the intent to seek impeachment if found guilty," according to the resolution. In response to the resolution, Holden said, "He has not submitted it (the resolution) to me. I wish he would come and

talk with me." Lori Wolfson, student senator, said, "I think it's ridiculous to attempt impeachment this late in the school year seeing that we only have two months until the elections. "Many senators are considering this action a political move for his upcoming campaign for president." Black s~d he is running for president. "I know that he plans to run 1 for president," said Holden. Black lacks the communication skills necessary for being president, Holden said. Regarding Black's intent to run for president, Jim Newman, student senator, said, "He hasn't lived up to his responsibilities as a senator as defined by our by-laws and constitution. He's missed every senate meeting and all committee meetings this semester." Black said that he hasn't attended any meetings this semester because he has been working two jobs. Black considered resigning as a senator because he was working two jobs, but, "I quit (one of) the jobs to do student government," he said.

Peace gathering rallies for troop support, end to war Jim Langland The Metropolitan

A peace rally attracted hundreds of supporters to the state capitol, Saturday, Jan. 26, to listen to various speeches condemning the war in the Persian Gulf. The rally was put on by the Colorado Campaign for Middle-East Peace and included five speakers who voiced their anger and distrust of the American government. The speakers and the protesters said that they wanted to make it very clear that, though they disagree with the United States being in the Persian Gulf, they support the American troops. Ric)lard Castro, who served in the Colo~-

rado General Assembly for 10 years and now works for Human Rights and Community Relationships, said that he was there to help prevent his 19-year-old son from going to Saudi Arabia. Castro also wanted to make the point that he was not against the American soldiers. "My presence here today is not against our soldiers in the Gulf, I think we need to show the public that," he said. 'Tm concerned as much as any other American in this country. We can be against the war, against our involvement there, and still be very supportive of our young men and women,'' he said. Castro went on to say that the American soldiers are as much victims of this war as see RALLY page 3

1'he MSCD ·criminal justice department is sponsoring the fifth annual European Police Tour in Eastern and Western Europe this

On Jan. 18, Thomas Mestnik sat at a peace table in the Student Union when a student who is in ROTC approached the table and threatened him. Mestnik, a Metropolitan State College of Denver history major, said that John Dunne, the ROTC student, and a friend walked up to the table and started a discussion on the events in the Middle East. The conversation came to an abrupt end when Dunne leaned over the table and, according to Mestnik, said,"If I catch you burning the flag, I will not only beat you up, but I will kill you. I mean it," then walked away. Mestnik contacted Auraria Public Safety Officer Dean Chavez

sununer.

The tour will be held from May 30 through June 14 and is open to police officers as well as the general public.

and told him about the incident. During their meeting, Mestnik spotted Dunne and a friend. Mestnik said he pointed out the men to Chavez and Officer Bill Bowles, who then made contact with them. The APS report stated that Dunne told Chavez he said if he saw anyone burning the flag he "would kill thein," and the comment was not directed toward Mestnik personally. Chavez could not be reached for comment but the APS report stated that he and Bowles mediated a shouting match between the two parties. The report also said the two parties "discussed . calmly what happened. Parties involved shook hands and agreed that everything was OK." However, Mestnik said he had no contact with Dunne and that it was Dunne and Chavez who discussed the situation and shook

hands. At about 5 p.m. that afternoon, Mestnik called APS and asked for a copy of the report. ''The dispatcher told me that the report hadn't been filed," Mestnik said. Mestnik received a call at his home Jan. 22, from APS Sgt. Ray Wells. Mestnik said that Wells told him that he shouldn't pursue it any further. According to APS Sgt James Ferguson, Wells informed Mestnik that, because of the lack of evidence, no charges could be pressed against Dunne. That day, Mestnik saw Dunne walking in the Student Union. He called security and they came to the Student Union but Dunne was already gone. Mestnik filed a report with Technician Jerry Miller. Mestnik saw Dunne ente_r The Mission Jan. 24 and called APS.

Chavez and Officer John V anDyke responded. Mestnik said that the officers spoke with Dunne for about 15 minutes and then approached Mestnik. The officers told him that Dunne was willing to forget the whole thing. Mestnik said that the officers told him ifhe dido 't drop it they would take him in for disorderly conduct. They then told him to leave Dunne alone and stop bothering him. An additional APS report stated that "investigation revealed that the original incident was an emotional political discussion and that no crime occurred." Dunne could not be reached for comment. At press time no further actions had been taken by either party.

CNN arrives on campus through ACTV Auraria Campus Television is bringing coverage of the Persian Gulf War and other news issues to campus through CNN and a new ACTV-produced news program called "On The Line." ACfV will produce one "On The Line" program a week. Each program will be shown three times a day, Monday through Friday, beginning Feb. 4.

RALLY from page 1 the Iraqi people. Glenn T. Morri~. a member of the American Indian Movement's Colorado chapter and a professor at the University of Colorado at Denver, said the reason they were at the rally was to encourage other communities of color to show support against the war. "We're on the front line," Morris said. "Forty-six percent ofthe front line infantry troops in Saudi Arabia are people of color. "It may be Bush's war but it is our families - our brothers and our sisters - who come back in those body bags." Morris said his people understand the brutalities of war. "When the United States talks about biological warfare, they know of what they speak because they began biological warfare. When they gave smallpox-infested blankets to our people knowing what the consequences were, they began

The first "On The Line" program includes an interview with a Kuwaiti student who describes how his brother, a member of the Kuwaiti resistance movement, was captured and shot by an Iraqi firing squad last August. "Ideally, I'd like to do a daily news cast but financing and staff don't permit it," Hoff said. "It all comes down to money." Kevin Krause, supervisor of operations at ACfV, said that he does not expect "On The Line" to have as many on-campus viewers

The program will focus on a variety of issues on campus, from student response to the Persian Gulf War to coverage of Black History Month in February. Brett Hoff, ACTV's associate producer of news programs, said that he sees the program as a service to viewers and as a learning process forthe volunteers and staff at ACfV. "Right now we have just one reporter and we'd like to recruit more out of the broadcasting school. We're also going to run student-produced projects."

biological warfare," he said. "When (our people come) back, we will welcome them with open arms. We will welcome them back into our communities, because we know they will be different people," said Morris in support in of the U.S. troops. ''There are other soldiers who are to be honored, and those are the soldiers who have taken the stand not to go." Castro was concerned about the message the young people are getting, ''the message that is conveyed to our young, those who can not find jobs, those who can not find access to higher education is that they can 'be all they can be' in the United States Army. The message should be that they can be all they can be in college." Castro finished by saying that the protesters are not against this country-they'reforwhatisright. Ron Weekly, a Vietnam veteran, spoke briefly, calling for Vietnam . veterans to support the anti-war movement so that their children

as CNN. "We're finding that, with local news on campus, we don't get a lot of viewers. We're doing programs just so students have a place to go to find out what's happening. My goal, ultimately, is to be showing our program, not just CNN all the time. "Another side to ACfV is that we allow students to come in and produce things on their own," Krause said. "We' re trying to work with students and give them access to the equipment."

•_Th_e_M_e_t_ro_po_l_ita_n_ _ _ _ _ __ Accorrung to a Nov. 16, 1990 guest ediorial by Gretchen D. Carman-Palmer in The Metropolitan, parking for handicapped stuents is "woefully inadequate." Melanie Tern, the director of Information and Referral, Housing and Disability Services, said the situation is no worse for the physically disabled than it is for students in general. "We would like to have more handicapped parking spaces, but parking on this campus is a problem for all students," Tern said. According to Connie Besser, Transportation Services manager, the Auraria Campus designates two percent of its parking spaces to the handicapped, as directed by state guidelines. In order to obtain any handicapped parking permit on campus, a student must have a state placard indicating that they are eligible for handicapped parking, Besser said. In her editorial, Carman-Palmer pointed out there are only nine handicapped designated parking meters on the entire campus. These meters have a maximum time of three hours, not 50 minutes, as she wrote. The cost is one penny per minute. Carman-Palmer wrote that she believes parking should be free to handicapped students. Tern said she does not think handi. . capped students should be allowed to park free simply because they are handicapped. In addition to the meters, Tern suggested several other parking options available to

Dtlril SmlblThe Melropolit!l1

A student parks at one of the nine available parking meters designated for the handi·

capped. physically disabled students. Hanrucapped spaces are available in four daily fee lots and in the visitor parking section. Other available areas around campus are located next to the Arts and South Classroom buildings and between the library and the Science Building. Six spaces were also added in the new parking garage. While Tern does not think this is enough parking, she does think it is a fair amount. In order to park in the handicapped spaces in any of the daily fee lots, a permit must be obtained from the Auraria Higher Education Center Office of Information and Referral, Housing and Disability Services, located in Arts Building Room 177. The cost is $3.75. According to Tern, 75 of these permits have been sold since school began in the fall. The other option is to purchase a fulltirne pre-paid parking permit for $128 a

semester. Part-time permits are also available. This allows a student to park in any handicapped space in a pre-paid lot or in any other non-metered , handicapped parking space on campus. This cost is less than the $147 part-time and $168 full-time permits other students pay for a pre-paid parking permit. AHEC also provides the Handivan as a free service to any permanently or temporarily disabled student. The Handivan offers students two options, the first one being a regular schedule arrangement. "A student can call and say, ' I need to be picked up at 9 a.m. every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at lot H, and taken to the North Classroom Building,"' Tern said. A student can also call and ask to be picked up and taken to another location. The van should arrive within 10 minutes. Besser said the Handivan driver can provide assistance, such as helping a student into and out of a car or setting up a wheel chair. Tern added that the Handivan can be very useful to students who are temporarily disabled, such as someone who broke a leg. According to Tern, the .Pffice of Disabled Student Services held two forums last year, attempting to gain input on how to better facilitate handicapped students. Only four people showed up to voice their opinions, but Tern said they rud get some useful suggestions which have been implemented. Because of the forums, there are now three 0 spaces for side-loading vans.

Gail Spencer The Metropolitan Changes seem to be happening so fast in the Office of Student Affairs at Metropoli- _ tan State College of Denver that even the employees wonder what's going on. When The Metropolitan called for information from Assistant for Student Affairs Gwendolyn Thomas, a Student Affairs office employee said, "Let me see if her name's still on her door." Thomas oversees the offices of Veteran's and High School Opward Bound programs while Karen Thorpe, assistant vice president for Student Affairs and dean of Student Life, oversees all other Student Affairs functions. Thedifferenceis, theynowreport to Vice President ofAcademic Affairs David Williams. "I think it will serve the students better," Williams said. The initial shake-up occurred in the ad- Antonio Esquibel ministration last week when MSCD PresidentThomas Brewer eliminated the position Education Center. According to Thorpe, Brewer decided of vice president of Student Affairs which that the available staff could handle the had been held by Antonio Esquibel. 'The college eliminated the position so I position vacated by Esquibel. resigned and agreed to do the replication study," Esquibel said. Esquibel begins his new job Feb. 1, at 'Student Affairs is a very im· 1380 Lawrence St. where he'll spend the remainder of the semester on a study deportant and significant part of signed to yield information on the impact of an educational institution, federal policies and higher education prac(Esquibel} certainly filled an im· tices on the career path~ of Chicano adportant role - we'll miss him.' ministrators.

'He's been wanting to do thatfor a long time," Thorpe said. "He wanted to resign and he'salways .wanted to be in the classroom.'

"It certainly streamlines the divisions with one less person to report to the president," Thorpe said. But she doesn't think that the position was an extraneous one. "Student Affairs is a very important and significant part of an educational institution," Thorpe said. "(Esquibel) certainly filled an important role-we'll miss him." Thorpe, who to date has received no salary increase, is now overseeing most functions of Student Activities, including recreation, publications, legal services for students, financial aid, the student health clinic and clinical services and counseling. "When you lose a position it's distressing," Thorpe said, "(but) the academic mission of any institution is preeminent." She said the main aim is to better serve MSCD students. "The priorities haven't changed, but communication will be better," she said. According to Thorpe, Student Affairs will now be more in tune with academic priorities, and student directors can better enhance the classroom experience. 'There is a possibility of change in the future but we will certainly have no kneejerk reaction," Thorpe said. "We'll take a look at our strengths and our weaknesses and use our resources in our best interest." Thorpe said she looks forward to working with Williams. "He is a visionary (and) we're excited about working with him," she said. "I think everybody will be the better for it." 0

"It will be an extremely valuable piece of work," Brewer said. "He's been wanting to do that for a long time," Thorpe said. "He wanted to resign and he's always wanted to be in the classroom." Esquibel will return next fall as an associate vice president for Community Outreach and a professor of education. But the resignation took many peopleincluding Thorpe - by surprise. "I was shocked, " Thorpe said. "No one really knew that it was going to happen." According to Brewer, the functions of the vice presidential position had become blurred over the last few years. "Being an urban community institution and given the nature of Auraria, we don't have the need for the position," Brewer said. "Those which are Student Affairs functions fall under Auraria." He said that most Student Affairs positions deal with on-campus student housing, not available at MSCD, and.issues such as parking which fall under the Auraria Higher

If You're Deciding Between Stanley H. Kaplan and The Princeton Review, Read the Fine Print.

MSCD prof on the cutting edge Mark Corrigan The Metropolitan Denver's own "Wynton Marsalis," Ron Miles, an innovative jazz trumpeter and Metropolitian State College of Denver music teacher, combines elements of traditional jazz and avante garde into his compositions. The " RonMilesTrio Plus" is a group that performs on the cutting edge of jazz music. The result is a strange and compelling musical montage that band member Glenn Taylor described as"A sort ofjazz, hip-hop, avante-garde thing." Miles and his band played at the Montview Boulevard Presbyterian Church Jan. 26. The music was strong and eerie, transcending the bounds of jazz while spanning such diverse musical forms as rock and Latin music. Miles, 27, directs a jazz ensemble and a creative music group at MSCD, and promotes individuality in his students. "It seems that, traditionally, college bands have not been very artistically minded," Miles said. "We encourage the players to write and to find their own voices. If they have creativity in them, we let them do what they want to do." Innovation and creativity are the focal points of Miles' music. He earned a bachelor's degree from the University of Denver School of Music as well as a master's degree from The University of Colorado in

Boulder. He also studied at the prestigious Manhattan School of Music in New York. But he feels that many college music programs neglect the great figures in jazz such as Duke Ellington, Fletcher Henderson and Count Basie. "It's something akin to going to see a symphony orchestra in your town and never hearing Beethoven or Mozart." Miles said. ''That's what' s happened with jazz." Miles has encountered resistance to his form of "free jazz" from jazz purists as well as jazz club owners. One local club owner fired Miles and his band for playing a free jazz piece called "Boy's got a complex." "The owner came up to us and said, ' You ' ll never have another complex in here again.' That's how we knew we'd been fired," he said. Miles stresses originality in his music and said that the great musical artists have always been innovators. " What made these artists so great is that they were individuals," Miles said. "ArtistswhoplayCharlieParker's music today and think that they're getting next to him are missing the point. What they should be doing is playing their own music, then they're really getting next to the essence of Charlie Parker." Miles has released two albums.

OPINION Far-away fat her

New mom holds up on home front Dave Plank On Tuesday, Jan. 22, 1991, Shelly Thompson gave birth to an 8-pound, 11-ounce baby boy. Every detail about the birth was routine, except one - Shelly's Lamaze partner wasn't her husband, but her brother. Her husband couldn't make it. He's with the U.S. Air Force in Saudi Arabia. It's a story with which we are all becoming eminently familiar, of course. Every day we turn on the television and watch the war in the Middle East unfold in front of us like a giant Risk game, complete with three-dimensional maps and color-commentating military analysts using terms like "touchdown" and "end run." Every night on the evening news we see 120 seconds in the life of another family that has been torn apart by events half a world away. When Shelly's husband left a few months ago, he assured her that he would be back by the time the baby arrived. The higher-ups of the world had other plans, though, and now all bets are off as to how long it will be before "'the flyboy," as she calls him, will get to see his son or his wife. Shelly says that she was disappointed, but not surprised, when she realized that her husband would not be there to greet the baby upon its Grand Entrance. With a steely voice, doubtless picked up from more experienced military wives, she says, "When I married him, I knew that this could happen. I'll get by."

All day every day her television is tuned to CNN, and she keeps one ear pointed toward it as she moves through the house, changing diapers and washing dishes and breast feeding Steven junior. On the rare occasions that she sees war footage, she looks for her husband in doorways and jeeps in the backgrounds of every shot. "I haven't seen him yet," she says, "but that's normal. Before he left, when I found out I was pregnant, I came home to tell him and he was in bed. I got in a car wreck once, and when I called him I woke him up. I always tell myself that he's probably in bed asleep whenever the cameras are around." Every day, usually while the baby naps, she sits at the kitchen table and writes her husband at least one letter. She says that since he left she has gone through 14 pads of letter-writing paper. "I've never been very good at writing letters,· she says. "So I just tell him what's going on, like 'the baby woke me up kicking me last night,' or 'I had to stick the broomhandle down in the garbage disposal again to get it to work th is morning.' I think that's probably what he wants to hear anyway. He told me once that he was sorry that the garbage disposal didn't work, and he wished he was here to fix it.· Her voice trails off for a moment, then returns with the familiar soldier's-wife resolve. "I told him it would wait." One thing she doesn't want, she says, is to be "paraded across the TV" She says that she's been called by reporters from all the Denver television stations and one newspaper, and she's told them all

that she isn't interested in talking to them. "One reporter called me every day for two weeks. Finally he told me that it was my duty to be on the news and tell everybody what I was going through. I couldn't believe it. I just lost control right there on the phone. I said, 'Look.you bastard. I have a husband I may never see again and a baby who might grow up without a daddy. I think I've done my duty.' And then I hung up." In instances like that, she says, when the reality of her situation outwits all her efforts to keep it at bay, she feels helpless. "I was in the store last week, walking down the baby aisle, and I thought to myself that the baby on the Gerber's food jars looked kind of like little Steve. Well, you can't send pictures to the soldiers there, because the Saudis throw them away in case they're pornographic. I guess they don't even check. So I thought I'd send him a picture of the Gerber baby, so that the envelope wouldn't feel stiff and they wouldn't open it. Then it hit me: I can't even send my huspand a picture of his baby, you know? And if anything h~pened, he'd never even know what his baby looked like. I still think about that sometimes, but I fight it.·

So, as her husband fights a bomb-and-missile war on the other side of the world, Shelly is left at home with a war of her own. It's a different war, a war to keep their life together intact until he can rejoin her and the son he's never seen - and may not. But right now, she's trying not to think about that.

AN AFRICAN ACADEMIC AFFAIR When did Africans first come to the Americas? Who was the first Executive Director of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference? The above are just examples of questions that will be asked at the fifth annual Colorado Pan-African Nuturing and Development Association games at St. Cajetan's Center. TheP.A.N.D.A. games combine the thrill of Jeopardy with relevant and informative

questions and answers on contributions by people of African descent. The object of the game is to see which team can score the most points by correctly answering questions based on the P.A.N.D.A. Guide. The questions range from; Angola to Zaire, Goobers to Gumbo, lndabas to Inventions, Philosophers to Pharoahs or Warriors to Writers. Preliminary and quarterfinals competition will begin on Feb. 17 from 12 to 7p.m. Semifinals and finals take

place on Feb. 24 at 2 p.m. High schools, community organizations and groups will compete for scholarship money, trophies and certificates. In addition there will be P.A.N.D.A. medals and for the winning team, the coveted P.A.N.D.A. Bowl. P.A.N.D.A., a non-profit organization, attempts to instill pride and self-esteem in youth of African descent, develop an interest in the attainment of an education beyond high school and promote the accomplishments, struggles and contributions by people

of African descent throughout the world. Admission is free for all rounds of competition. The games are co-sponsored by Community College of Denver, Metropolitan State College of Denver, University of Colorado at Denver and Auraria Higher Education Center in association with the Colorado Black Roundtable, C.E.S.D.A., Association of Black Psychologists, Colorado Council on High School-College Relations, and the Colorado Association of Multicultural Counseling and Development. 0

February 1, 1991

Come celebrate the 25th Anniversary of MSCD at Copper Mountain Last semester, students, faculty, and staff who are involved in Metro Connections (more about that later) commented that, although Metro offers many different services, it is often very confusing to know where to go for help. They recommended that a newspaper column in The Metropolitan be established to help with this problem.

That is the purpose of this column, which is devoted to providing information, suggestions, and referrals for questions that the students at Metro submit. A small group of students and counselors has committed time to research whatever questions you may have, sometimes finding the "right person" in the community to answer, sometimes suggesting where to find an appropriate source of help, and other times offering some suggestions themselves. The Metro Connections column will address questions ranging from how to manage your time better, to how do you tell your current intimate partner that you've found someone else, to how to deal with your emotional reactions to the war in the Middle East. There are several benefits to having a column such as this one, including knowing that other people have experiences similar to our own (and ·a re coping), being able to remain anonymous, and even the act of writing something down on paper can give us a sense of relief and some much needed distanc~ from our problems. Metro Connections, formerly known as the Natural Helper program is a group of students, faculty and staff volunteers who have been identified by the Metro community as persons who are seen as helpful and willing to listen and reach out to others. We believe that there is a naturally occurring network of helping interactions on the campus, and the program is designed to facilitate these interactions between students, faculty and staff. The goals of Metro Connections are to provide outreach to others having personal concerns, to hetp people find appropriate community resources, to offer training and educational opportunities to members of the Metro community in order to enhance their natural helping abilities, and to work towards making MSCD a community where people can make genuine connections with others. If you would like to submit a question to this column, please drop it by the MSCD Counseling Center, located in CN 203. Of course we won't publish names of those who send in questions, however, if you'd like a personal response, please include your name and phone number and we' II get back to you with a suggestion. •-·•~•••,••

THE METROPOLITAN

LETTERS Student finds Holden's action 'abominable' Prof says Bush men Editor, As a former member of Student Government at Metro (both in the ASMSCD Senate and in the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board (SACAB), I find the behavior of the current student body president appalling. True, student government, as a whole, has had its share of problems throughout the years; but these ailments were nowhere near the proportion of how Mr. Dan Holden has mis-used and abused his position. Every student at this college (and especially the readers of The Metropolitan ) have seen his outrageous statements, his inexcusable actions, and his shameless use of student fees. Yes, your student fees that $41 every student pays when you register for classes at Metro is financing these abominable shenanigans of Mr. Holden. Through the Student Affairs Board, the ASMSCD Student Government was funded over $50,000 this year. As a student I have yet to see any effective usage of any student fees by student government. Instead, I am insulted by Mr. Holden . Just a few examples (many of which I have witnessed): - money spent on Christmas lights that were never hung; · - money spent on candy canes (boxes of which still sit in offices);

- dinners, lunches, and other social eating binges; - partisan activities; - comments directly against the college and its educational mission; - his attitude towards the student body as a whole; - his use of official college letterhead for unofficial purposes; - etc., etc., etc. As Chairman of the MSCD College Republicans, I can only assume that Mr. Holden takes his justification for his actions from another great republican - Mr. Richard Nixon. As we all know, President Nixon resigned when it became apparent that he would be impeached. I can only urge Mr. Holden to take the same action. As for all MSCD students, I urge you to speak out against this blatant and disgraceful perversion of your student fees. Send your comments to Dan Holden, ASMSCD Student Body President, Campus Box 7 4, ST 341 and send a copy to Yolanda Ericksen, Student Activities, Campus Box 39, ST 255 .

Angle Binder MSCD student

LLetter needs _historical clar.ificatiQn . Editor, "Since the conception of America over two hundred

years ago, America-to be more correct the Republican

party of America-has lead the way'in promoting peace throughout the world" This statement, written by Metro student president Dan Holden, shows that his ignorance of history is only surpassed by his love of corruption. To begin with the Republican party was not formed at the "conception of this country" but rather jest prior

to the civil war. Secondly, Lincoln was a republican who did not lead the way for peace but rather lead the U.S. through its bloodiest war in history. This extreme lack of knowledge is typical of the ignorance and misinformation that prevails among those who support the war with Iraq.To many, America is a country that can do no wrong, never has and never will.

Thomas C. Mestnik MSCD student

GUEST EDITORIAL Public gets caught in political gaming -.

With the enormous coverage of student governmentthe past couple of weeks, according to journalists and student senators alike, many people have started to wonder what the ASMSCD Student Government is all about. Allegations have been flying in and out of the student government office about the practices of Dan Holden, student government president. Now, impeachment of Holden has been called for. A little late, don't you think? With elections right around the corner, there will be a fury of statements and actions to make executive hopefuls suddenly appear politically savvy. One such action is a resolution by Tom Black, student senator, to impeach Holden. Black defends the lateness of his resolution by saying he would rather stop Holden's spending spree, now, before it becomes worse. Black has admitted that he is running for president and says that his resolution has nothing to do with the election.

However, some senators disagree and look at the resolution solely as a political ploy for Black's presidential intentions. This impeachment represents the pleas of student government to separate themselves from Holden and the misgivings of the past year. Is student government all that bad? We shouldn't completely give up on them. There are a few senators trying to make positive changes and make student government more visible. However, students should not become blinded by the political games, all in the name of the power struggle to become titular heads.

need Ethics 101 Editor, I heard President Bush's State of the Union Address last night, and I would have ignored his jingoistic rhetoric again except for the fact that he ventures into the area of philosophy and passionately claimed that the killing in the Persian Gulf is morally right and just. Killing is morally right and just, if and only if, it is done in self-defense. Our killing in the Persian Gulf has not been done in self-defense, for President Hussein did not attack us. Therefore, the killing in the Persian Gulf is not morally right and just. It appears that both Neil and his father should take Ethics 101 .

Smooth sailing for MSCD as they sink DU Dale Shrull Sports Editor

·-

The Metropolitan State College ofDenver men's basketball team have righted their ship and are back on course in the Colorado Athletic Conference. After they whipped the University of Denver 87-78, the Roadrunners have now reeled off three straight CAC wins to find themselves at the top of the conference. The 'Runners have come back to life after being pounded by Regis College Jan. 21, 83-67, in their CAC opener. "The boat was sinking and we had to start swimming," MSCD head coach Bob Hull said. The swim was erratic but successful against the Pioneers of DU. ' Surviving a furious first half DU rally and foul trouble, the 'Runners got eight straight points from junior guard Ralph RiversdownthestretchtodunkthePioneers. Rivers led MSCD with 24 points. It looked like the 'Runners were on their way to an easy win in the first half. By the 6:40 mark, center Fred Brown canned two free throws and MSCD was up 35-17. Then the Pioneers ripped off nine consecutive points in a 61 seconds to cut the lead to 35-26. At halftime, the 'Runners' lead had evaporated to only five and they went to the locker room up 45-40. In the second half MSCD upped their lead to 54-42 when forward Tim Moser hit

a layup. Withjustunder 11 minutesto play,Adrian Hutt picked up his fourth foul and went to the bench with the 'Runners leading 64-52. With MSCD's ball-handling guard on the bench, DU increased the defensive pressure and cut the Roadrunner lead to 68-65 when senior guard Dave Chavlovich drained a three pointer. When Hutt returned the MSCD guards restored order and took charge. Rivers made a steal and went coast to coast for a layup. Hutt hit three free throws and the 'Runners were up 78-71. Rivers applied the final nails in DU' s coffin by hitting four free throws and two buckets in the final 1:07. When DU concentrated on the 6-foot-8inch Brown, Moser utilized his 6-foot-2inch frame and victimized the Pioneer zone defense for 19 points, mostly from close range. He also led the 'Runners with 12 rebounds. "We wanted to get the ball to Fred, but (DU) took away the passing lanes," Moser said. "(DU) didn 't seem to respect me." The 'Runners will next be in action Feb. 2 when they travel to the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs. MSCD's record is now 15-5 overall and the only blemish on their 3-1 conference record is the loss to Regis. Since Kirk Smith quit the team earlier in the season due to personal reasons and Hosea McQuilla was called into active duty in the Army, MSCD will have to finish the season with only eight players.

SPORTS A view from the press box Dale Shrull Sports Editor

For this 23-year-old man, his life was suddenly unfolding like a Hollywood script. Everything was falling into place. Every- thing was fantastic. Everything was fantastic for Hosea McQuilla. He was doing what he loves playing basketball. And this season he was playing for the Metropolitan State College of Denver Roadrunners. McQuilla was a freshman guard for the 'Runners and was just beginning to get some quality playing time. He had just started his classes for spring and was focusing on the Roadrunners' remaining conference schedule. His entire life changed with one sound, • one familiar sound - ring. The telephone, a sound heard nearly every day, but this phone call was more than a regular call. It was a call to duty. The Army was the caller, and in a blink of an eye, Hosea McQuilla's life would now change from college and basketball to guns, missiles and, possibly, Saudi Arabia. "It's all kind of scary," McQuilla said of his being called into active duty. McQuilla had speni: five years in the Army when he was released out of active duty so he could attend MSCD. He was then placed in the Individual Ready Reserve. People in the IRR are excluded from active duty, but if something comes up the Army will call. Something definitely came up. Something big - a war. "I wasn't sure that my orders would come through, I wish they wouldn't have but they did," McQuilla said. Before Saturday night's game against the University of Southern Colorado, the National Anthem took on an entirely new meanillg to McQuiJla and the more than 600 in attendance. The performer of the National Anthem was Hosea McQuiJla. "The whole thing was very emotional,"

McQuilla called for duty

New script changes life McQuilla said. "It seemed Like, for the first 25 points, everybody on both sides was playing with tears in their eyes." The war was now close to home. Someone we know might be going to war. The war wasn't just images on a TV screen, it wasn't another Peter Jennings report of a SCUD missile attack 60,000 miles away. It was about a young man's life that was changed by the war. Instead of Lacing up basketball shoes, Hosea McQuilla will now be lacing up his army boots. In a few weeks those images and reports may take on a whole new meanillg: Hosea may just be part of the war. On Jan. 31, McQuilla checked into Fort Lee, Va. He will soon find out if he'll be going to the Persian Gulf. This Hollywood script, starring Hosea McQuilla, began in Colorado Springs last summer. During the summer, McQuilla was playing basketball in the recreation centers and playgrounds of Colorado Springs while he was serving his country at Fort Carson. Metropolitan State College of Denver had never entered his mind. Who knows if this Sumter, South Carolina native even knew where it was? As Hosea McQuilla strutted his stuff on the courts of Colorado Springs, somebody noticed him. Gene Edwards, last season's shooting star of the Roadrunners basketball team, played basketball with and agamst him. Edwards recognized that McQuilla had talent and thought he could play college basketball. Upon returning to Denver, Edwards told head coach Bob Hull about McQuilla. After watching McQuilla himself, Hull promptly offered him a basketball scholarship to MSCD. What a script, a kid playing on the streets of Colorado Springs gets discovered and is given a scholarship to play basketball. And

Q ~

you thought Rocky was a great story. For McQuilla, the war has always took on a personal meaning. After being discharged from the Army, his former unit left for Saudi Arabia. His best friend, who he was stationed with in Wiesbaden, West Germany, was a member of tha~ unit. "My best friend is over there now," McQuilla said. "I mainly watched (TV) because I know someone there." If Hosea McQuilla is shipped to Saudi Arabia, we will have the unsettling feelillg of knowing someone there. The TV reports will not be the same. McQuilla finds himself ill a strange circumstance. He doesn't really agree with the decision to go to war but he still supports the decision. McQuilla's attitude about being called up is extraordinary - he doesn't want to go but knows it's his duty. "No one really wants a war," McQuilla said, "but the President made a tougli decision and you have to respect it." He also has some thoughts about the antiwar protestors. "I don't understand. A lot of people walk around and protest stuff, and they don't really know what' s going on. They should look into it a little deeper. Just support the troops," McQuilla said. Hosea McQuilla may soon be the one who needs your support. When McQuilla was in the service before, he was a supply clerk. So if he goes he may not see any action, but he knows the dangers of even being in the neighborhood. "You never know where a missile can come from," he said. This great Hollywood script has now taken a strange twist for McQuilla. All we can hope for is that the script will have a happy ending. "Coach said my scholarship will be here when I come back. I just hope that I come back." We all do Hosea. We all do. 0

BRIEFS Roberts wins CAC weekly honor What happens when a women's basketball player scores 59 poillts and grabs 39 rebounds in three games? She gets noticed. That's what happened to Metropolitan State College of Denver's sophomore center Roberts. After amassing those totals in three games Roberts, a Green Mountain High School graduate, was recognized by the Colorado Athletic Conference as it.s player of the week. The 6-foot Roberts, who is the second · leading rebounder in NCAA Division Il, earned the CAC top weeldy honor after leading the Roadrunners to two wins.

Men ~go on warpath a·n d · whip Indians Gary Williams The Metropolitan The war in the Middle East hit home for the members of the Metropolitan State College of Denver men's basketball team, when one of their own, Hosea McQuilla was called to active duty. This made their contest with the University of Southern Colorado Jan. 26, the last in which McQuilla would play this season. Cfiarged with emotion following McQuilla' s rendition of the National Anthem, the Roadrunners went on to defeat USC 86-80. After trailing 39-37 at halftime, the 'Runners shot a blistering 63 percent from the floor in the second half to pull away. Led by Fred Brown's 27 points, 15 in the second half, the 'Runners quickened the pace and motored by the seemingly slower USC team. As always, the MSCD fastbreak was led by senior Adrian Hutt who dished out 12 assists and added 12 points, including two three pointers early in the game to keep MSCD close. Despite contending with four players having four fouls each, MSCD won the battle of the boards in the second half, after

having been out-rebounded 24-13 in the first half. Junior Florian Miller led the 'Runners with eight rebounds in just 14 minutes of playing time. Tim Moser and Ralph Rivers added five rebounds apiece. MSCD took a 13-point lead, their biggest of the game, with 7:10 left and withstood a flurry of USC three pointers to hang on for the win. USC's Keith Abeyta, who prepped at Denver's Lincoln High School, connected on four shots from the three-point line, two in the final 50 seconds.

The Metropolitan State College Denver men's and women's swim teams started oif 1991 in the best way possible. On Jan. 19, the men's team accomplished something no other team has been able to do for 12 years. They defeated the University of Denver Pioneers at the Intermountain Swim League Relays meet. The overall score of the men's meet was MSCD 110; DU 96; Colorado School of Mines 78; Colorado Christian University 68; and University of Colorado 58. 'The men's win is great," said head coach Steve Hadley. "It was an overall team effort with outstanding swims by Jeff Neary, Bernie Gard, Brian Reed, Jeff Holt and Mark Gacioch." The diving duo of Nationals qualifier Dane Sandoval and new recruit Nick Jentzsche missed the ISL Relays record for one-meter diving by one half point. The MSCD women's team performed far better than expected. "We're thin in numbers for the women," said Hadley. "We've only got eight swimmers." Those eight women placed second overall in the the meet. The final scores were DU 128; Metro 96; CCU 76; CU 66; Mines 40.

"We're doing better than I ever imagined," Hadley said aboutthe women's team. Both teams faired well against the School of Mines on Jan. 25. The women placed first in every event except for one, making the final score MSCD 95 and Mines 64. The men continued their winning ways with outstanding performances by Joe Morin, Bernie Gard and Nationals qualifier Jeff Neary. The men easily defeated the swimmers from Mines by a score of 112 to 95. On the men's meet Hadley said, "We were up 112 points to 45 points by the middle of the meet. Our guys swam great." On Jan. 26, the eight-member women' s team traveled to Greeley to face a much larger foe - the University of Northern Colorado. The- MSCD women were defeated by a score of 106-76. UNC had 25 swimmers on their women's team and the defeat of the MSCD women wasn't surprising. "We're a small team," said Hadley. "Just to be able to compete with a team that size is an accomplishment in itself." The Roadrunners will next compete Feb. 2 in a tri-meet with CU and DU. The meet will be held at CU at 1 p.m. The men's team now has a season record of 10-2 while the women's record is l~.

Frederick Douglas by William s. Mcfeely

$24.95 cloth

This stunning new biography by a Pulitzer Prize-winning historian recreates the compelling life of one of America's most eloquent orators and writers. Slave-born, Douglas educated himself and escaped bondage to champion the rights of black Americans and women. His many sides are illuminated here - courageous fighter, evocative speaker, wickedly gifted satirist, charismatic organizer - giving us a clear and rich view of an inspired leader.

My SouPs High Song: The Collected Writings of Countee Cullen, Voice of the Harlem Renaissance Edited/Introduction by Gerald Early $14.95 paper [Professor] Early reveals the complexities of [Countee] Cullen's intellectual and emotional ties both to the standard Western canon and to the African-American tradition. Imaginative and witty, yet free of the preciousness that characterizes so much contemporary writing in the field, [Early's introduction] is certain to delight those scholars seeking new perspectives on issues of current interest in African-American literature and culture.' - Wilson J. Moses, Director of Afro-American Studies, Boston University

Memory of Kin: Stones . . . About Family by Black Wnters Introduction and Commentary by Mary Helen Washington $12.95 paper

Conceived in a discussion group at St Francis de Sales Church in Roxb.ury, Massachusetts in 1987, this anthology of stories written recently - . and a century ago - helps us understand what our own families mean to us. ·:. ::~:-:-:

A celebration of the growth of the human rights movement around the world, this Emmy Awardwinning documentary chronicles the evolution of the world's most powerful song.

Once Upon a Time When We Were Colored by Clifton L. Taulbert $16.95 cloth

This loving memoir depicts a world which vanished in the wake of integration, the wri:ld of 'colored town.' Behind the painful barriers of segregation there existed a totally black milieu in which the ~l»e nurtures and protected each other and enjoyed life together. Writes author Clifton Taulbert, 'I didn't want to forget where I came tram Or for my children never to know the world that gave them their father and their mother. I wanted to write a book that told about Glen Allan, Mississippi, that told about our lives inside the cotton fields ... our way of having church ... about the fish fries where we swayed to the strains of '/ worked all week Jong, now it's Saturday, Jet's have some fun,' as Muddy Waters sang away our blues.'

Family by J. California Cooper $18.95 cloth Set in the years just before and after the Civil War, Family tells the story of four generations of an AfricanAmerican family whose emotional and spiritual center is Always, a willful and gentle young woman born into slavery. Her mother, Clora, narrates a tale of life lived in shacks behind the big house, where degradation and instability are constant, and the normal bonds of family seemingly impossible to maintain. Family is a hauntingly beautiful testament to the dignity of the human spirit to • the joy that lies at the center of life, and the inexorable bonds of kinship that join us one to another. Parting the Waters: America in the King YeafS, 1954-63 by Taylor Branch $14.95 paper Hailed as the most masterful story ever told of the American civil rights movement, Parting the Waters is destined to endure for generations. Moving from the fiery political baptism of Martin Luther King, Jr., to the corridors of Camelot where the Kennedy brothers weighed demands for justice against the deceptions of J. Edgar Hoover, here is a vivid tapestry of America, torn and finally transformed by a revolutionary struggle unequaled since the Civil War. Taylor Branch provides an unsurpassed portrait of King's rise to greatness and elucidates the courage and private conflict, the deals, maneuvers, betrayals, and rivalries that determined history behind closed doors, at boycotts, on bloody freedom rides, and through seige and murder. Epic in scope and impact, Branch's chronicle definitively captures one of the nation's most crucial passages.
