More than 450 people were cheering, waving flags and signs, and chanting to show their support. The goal of the project was for people to link hands, forming a chain from Grand Junction to Denver. The chain was not completed, but its organizers viewed the rally as a success. See related stories pages 9, 11,12,13.

Student .Gov't approves $1 K for speaker Jeff Jones The Metropolitan

Associated Students of Metropolitan State College of Denver Student Senate approved $1,000 last week to bring Mike Rosen in to speak on campus sometime this spring. The lecture, which will be held in St. Frances Interfaith Center, will offer free refreshments and

probably be open to students of all three schools, not just Metro. A. Scott Gassmann, coordinatoroftheMike Rosen speech, cited that, "Even though Metro is paying for it, on a campus like ours, it's hard to ban students from (CU-D) and CCD. I say the more the merrier." Only $500 will actually go to Rosen. Rent and the reception will each cost $200, plus $100 contingency.

The topic of Rosen's speech is to be decided by student senate members. Rosen said that he would speak on, " Anything in the world." So far, suggested topics have been bias in the media, Colorado Public Interest Research Group and the Middle East crisis. Rosen, who has a talk show on KOA Radio, believes his speech will offer a "viewpoint students

If a new Colorado House bill becomes law, the Auraria Higher Education Center Board will drastically change shape. HB 1276 calls for the abolition of the current nine-member board and the establishment of a new six-member board. Voting members of the board would consist of the presidents of Metropolitan State College of Denver and Community College of Denver, as well as the chancellor of The University of Colorado at Denver. The board would also consist of three exofficio, non-voting members, including one faculty and one student trustee. The third non-voting member would be the vice president of operations, who would act as chairperson. MSCD President Thomas Brewer said that the new position would be filled by JoAnn Soker, the current vice president of Administration for AHEC. According to the bill's chief sponsor, Rep. Paul Schauer, R-Littleton, HB 1276 is designed to improve the board's efficiency and effectiveness. Schauer said the new board would give "more direct responsibility to those who work at the institution." A co-sponsor of the bill, Rep. Jeff Shoemaker, R-Denver, said that he believes the current AHEC Board has been too involved with school policy and academics, and that he would like to see the board function in a greater "facilities management" role. "I'd Like to see more contracts going to the private sector," Shoemaker said. "They (the board) are not doing that to the extent that they should." If HB 1276 passes, the new board will become active July I. The Metropolitan reporter Shawn Christopher Cox contributed to this report.

don' t frequently get from the media or their professors." Gassmann sees the speech as an excellent opportunity for MSCD to interact with the community. Other events atthe senate meeting included a decision to buy several small American flags to hand out to students, for which no budget was set, and the creation of a committee to rewrite the student constitution.

CoRRECTION In the story titled "Public Safety stonewalls student complaint", page 3 of the Feb. 1 issue, The Metropolitan incorrectly stated that John G. Dunne is a member of ROTC. Dunne is a member of the Platoon Leaders Corps, a program offered by the U.S. Marine Corps. The ROTC program at MSCD is an Army program in which Dunne is not enrolled.

NEWS Webb enters race

RIEFS Mayoral bid announced Latino Task Force presents film series

The Denver Art Museum Hispanic Advisory Committee and Denver Center Theatre Company Latino Task Force will present a film series in conjunction with the museum's exhibition, "Chicano Art: Resistance and Affirmation." Films will be presented at the Ricketson Theatre, in the galleria of the Denver Center Performing Arts Complex, Feb. 15, 16, 22 and 23. A total of 14 features and documentaries will be shown. Admission is free but seating is limited to 250. Seating will be done on a first-come, first-served basis.

J.C. Long The Metropolitan City Auditor Wellington Webb announced his mayoral candidacy, Feb. 6, at Auraria Campus in front of students, supporters and peace demonstrators. Webb, a democrat, said he decided to run for mayor because Denver is at a crossroads and needs strong leadership in the future. He said he could provide the leadership that would lead Denver into the prosperous future that was envisioned for it. Webb's wife, Rep. Wilma Webb, D-Denver, stood next to him as he spoke to a crowd at the flagpole near Auraria Library. He spoke to the crowd at noon, however, which conflicted with the pause for peace demonstration that students have around the flagpole every school day.

Aside from two men carrying signs for peace, the two groups did not conflict with each other. Webb said that part of his job as city auditor was to act as a watchdog and that this had made some people upset. He said he knew the consequences going in and would not back down. Webb said that candidates need to limit their campaign spending to $400,000 and should fully disclose their campaign contributions once a month, not after the election. Some candidates will spend $1 million on their campaign and not worry about homeless shelters being closed, feeding the poor, or students who need money to go to college, he said. He said he supported big projects such as the airport and convention center, but also saw the need for more basic services: trash

Wellington Webb announces his intent to run for mayor and snow removal, and street cleaning. Webb said that he hasn't heard any of the other candidates talk about these issues.

James Ferguson, public information officer. said that there was not enough evidence to file any charges against the student. "Sgt. Wells had the final call and, based on his decision, there was not enough evidence and we

support that decision," he said. Ferguson said that the officers showed no special treatment when investigating the case. "We believe that the officers were impartial in making their decisions," he said. Wendel said that the Marine Corps does not try to keep anyone from expressing their opinions. "The military respects the right ofevery individual to speak freely," he said. "That is guaranteed to everyone in the Constitution." 0

The apparent offending object? The APS report stated, a "three inch in diameter rock was laying in front of the door." Damage was estimated at $250. Here's the kicker. According to the report, the "rock was not collectible as evidence." The Metropolitan contacted Sgt. Jim Ferguson and asked him about this rock evidence. Apparently, rocks and various other items cannot be collected. The reason? Well, let's just say it's a police secret that even Barnaby Jones cannot reveal.

On Jan. 23, at I p.m., APS Officer Bob Malafronte was dispatched to headquarters where he met MSCD student Steven Shurgot.

DPD dogs sicked on library loiterer On Feb. 2, 2:20 a.m., APS Monitor Albert Potthoff observed an unknown person in the library. According to the APS report, Potthoff and Sgt. Kelly Casias searched the area but failed to locate anyone. Casias then determined it was necessary to contact the Denver Police Department's Canine Unit. The unit searched the area and a suspect was located in group-study room 206 of the Auraria Library. Gene Charles Montalbano was arrested for burglary. Denver General Hospital para-

medics were called to the scene because Montalbano, while resisting arrest, was bitten by the dogs. No, not a little scratch, mind you. According to the report, Montalbano bad bites on his right leg, head, left eye and was bleeding from the mouth.

At 6:36 p.m., Feb. 2, APS Officer Dean Chavez was dispatched to the information booth. You know, that nifty little thing in the turnaround circle. The APS report states that "upon further investigation" Chavez noticed the south-facing glass door of the hut had been smashed.

Shurgot told Malafronte that sometime between l p.m. and 2:45 p.m. his ceramics textbook disappeared. Then, Jan. 24 sometime between

3 p.m. and 4: 15 p.m., a business computer book was stolen. APS Officer Dean Chavez was contacted by MSCD student Margie Gibbs.

According to the APS report, Gibbs stated that, while attending a computer lab, her book was taken.

A computer geek with a flair for ceramics might be the culprit. Then again, maybe not.

Five cars belonging to students were locked in the parking garage Feb. l. Mark Gallagher, assistant director of Parking and Transportation, said that a report was filed through Parking and Transportation by the supervisor on duty detailing that three of the owners returned to get their cars after the closing time. Gallagher said that there was a problem at first, but the students left without a confrontation. He said that there was no police report filed. Dick Alfultis, director of Parking and Transportation Services, said that he was aware of a problem that was filed concerning at least one student whose car was locked in the parking garage.

Alfultis did not specify any details. Because of this incident, Parking and Transportation is changing its policy to allow people to retrieve their cars on Saturday mornings that are left after 6 p.m on Fridays, instead of having them wait until Monday to get their cars. The garage is open Monday through Thursday from 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Friday 6:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Since the garage opened Jan. 22, usage of the garage has increased steadily, Gallagher said. There are 1725 parking spaces available and more than 1700 cars are reported to park there daily. It costs $2 a day to park to be paid by cash or with a debit card which can be purchased on the first floor of the Student Union or in the Parking and Transportation Services office located in the garage. 0

Radio stations create partnership with MSCD Shawn Christopher Cox The Metropolitan

A community partnership among Metropolitan State College of Denver, KBE>I Channel 12 public television, and KUVO, a Hispanic-controlled public radio station, has just been created. Thomas Brewer, president of MSCD, Ted Krichels, KBDI general manager, and Florence Hernandez-Ramos, KUVO president and general manager, finalized the agreement Jan. 14. In return for classroom space and internship training programs for students, MSCD will, "provide a certain amount of funding (to the stations)," said Harry Gianneschi, vice president for Institutional Advancement. The office space is located at 2246 Fed-

eral Blvd. KBDI will move in by Feb. 1 with KUVO moving in by March 1. KBDI and KUVO have been considering going into a partnership for the last few months because of the advantages involved. "Metro took the initiative (to get involved)," Krichels said. Even though the partnership is in its preliminary stages, "We are very excited about the alliance," Krichels said. Gianneschi said that this will be a longterm relationship lasting for years to come. Hernandez-Ramos commented that KUVO is pleased to work with MSCD because of the, "multi-cultural diversity through the student body." There has not been a timetable set up for when the internship programs and classes will begin at the new location, however, there is a goal to have the internships in place in late 199 l. O

Three years after spill, AHEC develops waste plan Adam Shockley The Metropolitan Three years after a group of Community College of Denver students working in a campus automotive laboratory dumped nearly 20 gallons of waste oil down a storm sewer, division directors of the Auraria Higher Education Center discussed a plan to form a waste disposal program for the campus. In the Jan. 28 board meeting, JoAnn Soker, vice president for Administration, appointed Phil Savage, manager of Environmental Health Safety, to develop the program. Dave Rivera, director of Auraria Public Safety, said he, along with other campus directors made attempts to better organize waste disposal efforts in past years, but were unable to form a set of uniform waste management procedures applicable to all campus departments. "We have had an informal coriimittee but never got to develop a plan," Rivera said. No member of the Auraria Higher Education Center or any administration of Metropolitan State College of Denver has issued written guidelines for the handling, storage or disposal of hazardous waste on campus according to Savage. "We're just in the initial stages of developing a plan,"Savage said. He also said that there had not been any incidents of improper waste disposal on campus since

the oil dump three years ago. "It was a lack of communication. They just dumped it down the storm sewer, about 20 gallons of waste oil. It was a problem of miscommunication, " he said Although arr informal system of hazardous waste pickup and disposal currently operates on the campus, John Schmidt, MSCD program coordinator and professor of mechanical engineering, said .that no member of AHEC or MSCD administration has issued any form of written guidelines on how faculty and staff should handle, store, or properly dispose of hazardous waste. "Everything they've given us has been verbal, but nothing written, and what the main concern to me is that there's been no attempt to educate faculty or staff on the dangers of hazardous waste or training on how to handle it effectively," he said. Schmidt added that the informal system now used was started only after the waste-oil incident. Before that, no uniform guidelines or plans of any kind were in operation on the campus, he said. "We had been disposing of all kinds of hazardous wastes down the sewer traps for years," Schmidt ·said. According to Schmidt, who has been a teacher at MSCD for more than 13 years, incidents like the one involving oil waste have occurred many other times. "For the last nine or 10 years, we had been dumping hazardous wastes down the Denver sewer system because we had been told

that there was a chemical holding tank in the enforced by MSCD, it certainly was being parking lot that contained a sand-trap filter. · enforced by the state.

The Eighth Black World Conference, part of Metropolitan State College of Denver's celebration of Black History Month, was held at St. Cajetan's Feb. 5. The conference included speeches and poetry readings by MSCD and University of Colorado at Denver students and an address by the Tuskegee Airmen.

John W. Mosley, an Army Air Corps pilot during World War II, recalled the military's initial reluctance to accept African Americans as pilots. "They didn't want you in the first place," Mosley said. "And they didn't need you because they didn't want black people to fly." The Tuskegee Airmen quickly proved themselves in battle, shooting down 111 enemy aircraft and earning 95 Distinguished Flying Crosses during World War II.

During her keynote speech, Jeanette RayGoins, supervisor of Equity Programs at the Colorado Department of Education, encouragedAfrican American women to record their experiences in writing.

C.J. White, a professor of sociology and African-American studies at MSCD, has been the Black Conference's coordinator for the past seven years.

"African-American women must write down their stories to pass their legacy on from generation to generation," Ray-Goins said. "Women of color must tell their story, whatever their experience. African-American women, you must write and you must write now. We owe it to those who have gone before us and the black children who must follow.

"We try to highlight issues and concerns within the black community," White said. "We'd really like the conference to be viewed as an opportunity to assist in the education of the campus and the community concern- IVA!Ho..,.~. La"IUJRl!fW ing black culture. In order to understand the American experience and the world experience, a knowledge of black history and culture is mandatory."

"Many stories of African-American women have not been told because they were not written down. Now the stories must be written to preserve the history of black women."

White said that many of the students who spoke during the conference were involved in his African-American studies classes at MSCD.

Also appearing at the conference were the Tuskegee Airmen, a group of African Americans who broke racial barriers by serving as pilots and ground crewmen dur-

"With so much emphasis being placed on the need for multi-cultural education in our society, we must understand how the black experience fits into the total mosaic of various cultures," White said. 0

Financial aid changes

New deadline nears, availability of funds limited Gail Spencer The Metropolitan

New, simplified financial aid applications are now in use by Metropolitan State College of Denver. The simplified applications, available at the Financial Aid Office and processed free by United Student Aid Funds, are now only two pages long, rather than the four-page application previously required by ACT Student Financial Aid Services. The forms must be submitted by March 15 to be considered as priority for the 1991-92 academic year- July l, 1991 to June 30, 1992. "To be considered in the priority group of students, make sure your application is signed, sealed and delivered to USA Funds by March 15," said Cheryl Judson, director of Financial Aid. After March 15,Judsonsaid,certaintypes of aid will no longer be available because funding will be depleted. The types of aid limited include college work-study, Perkins Loans, Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants, Colorado Student Grants, and Income Contingent Loans. Applying after the priority date does not affect the amount of a Pell Grant or Stafford Loan, Supplemental Loans for Students (SLS) or Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students (PLUS). The applications for these loans are due by May 1, 1991.

'Other than the Pell Grant and Stafford Loan, we only have enough money for 1,800 students. Out of 12,000 applications, that's a scratch on the iceberg.' When Judson started at MSCD six years ago, she said that the college had 3,000 financial aid applicants who received a total of $6 million in aid. In the fiscal year 198990, MSCD awarded 8,712 students with $19.7 million according to the Colorado Commission on Higher Education. Now, Judson said, there are 12,000 students receiving $20 million in aid. According to Judson, the number of people who apply for financial aid at MSCD is on a par with the national average of about 60 percent. Of these students, 90 percent are in-state, generally borrowing from local banks whose guarantor is the Colorado Student Loan Program. Judson said that only about half of the applications will be in by the early deadline. But even the 6,000 students who do make the deadline will be taking their chances. "Other than the Pell Grant and Stafford Loan, we only have enough money for 1,800 students," Judson said. "Out of 12,000 applications, that's a scratch on the iceberg."

To keep it all together, Judson runs the office with 18 employees, but only one phone line. To alleviate the congestion, an automated phone system will be in place by May. The system will be similar to the automated phone system students currently use to register for classes. "Students will probably faint on the spot when they can get through," Judson said. The changes in the financial aid process have the appearance of being more simplified, she said, but in reality the regulations for financial aid have at least quadrupled due to laws of Congress. "I know they're trying to make it better but, in reality, they're making it more difficult," she said. "Every year we get new software with the new regulations and it's impossible to keep up." Among the regulations imposed on the Financial Aid Office is to have positive proof that a student is registered for selective service. Also, freshmen's checks are

held an additional 30 days and freshmen must sign a statement that they're attending classes before receiving their money. "This is supposed to help freshmen from defaulting on Joans," Judson said. Yet, of the 12,000 applicants, few problems arise regarding fraud or default. "Six years ago when I came here It was a problem but we really cleaned house," Judson said. "We make the TRS look nice." Errors commonly found include people falsifying their number of dependents, their adjusted gross income or their untaxed income. Because of this, financial aid may randomly, or on suspicion, audit the files, check bank statements for a month or check students' or parents' tax forms. "We're totally automated so it's easy to find people who are cheating," Judson said. If fraud occurs, the file is turned over to the Office of Education for investigation. In six years, only 10 such cases have been reported, Judson said. Other reasons for ineligibility for Joans or grants occurs when a student's GPA falls below 2.0, if the student completes less than two-thirds of registered credit hours or if the student has been enrolled for more than the equivalent of 12 full-time semesters. During the 1990 fall semester, 2,200 students were suspended for failing to meet one or more of these requirements. In such cases, the student must write an appeal to explain any mitigating circumstances. 0

DRAFT NEWS '

Military draft reinstatement, options discussed by panel Mark Corrigan The Metropolitan

Last week, the conflict in the Persian Gulf escalated toward ground battles, Denver' s Gove Community School, 4050 E. 14th Ave, held a public meeting on the possibilities of a renewed military draft. A panel of guest speakers, including a Metropolitan State College of Denver student, addressed the draft issue and answered questions from an audience of more than 100 people Jan. I. Although there has not been a military draft since 1973, many audience members had questions about conscientious objection and alternatives to military service.

"I believe that killing undermines the humanity of the killer," said Craig Benjamin, an MSCD student who spoke on the panel. "You remember when, in the days before the war, President Bush told us that we had to defend our way oflife? Well Mr. Bush, my way of life is a peaceful one." Another member of the panel, Paul

Baldwin, state director of Selective Service, said he doubted that a draft would be necessary during the Persian G ulf conflict. But he said that, if the draft were reinstated, draft evaders could be fined as much as $250,000 and sentenced to five years in prison. "I suggest," Baldwin said, "that any young man who fails to comply with the Jaw of the land would be demonstrating a bravado that borders on incredible stupidity. The laws were made with no frivolity. You elected the Congress and they made the Jaws as best they could for the betterment of this country." Another member of the panel, Steve Graham of the American Friends Service Committee, said that he opposes any form military draft and that draft evaders will not be actively prosecuted. "What we saw (during the Vietnam war) was that, when hundreds of thousands of people do something in violation ofthe law, you can' t prosecute all of them, it ' s impossible," Graham said. "For the most part you' ll get threatening letters and they'll promise to prosecute you, but they won't do it." .0

Teach-in provides opportunity to voice opinions the monarchies or to the people?"

Gail Spencer The Metropolitan American aggression must come to an end in the Persian Gulf, according to a panel of s~akers at a "teach-in" sponsored by Students for Peace and the Colorado Campaign for Middle East Peace Jan. 31 at the Student Union. "(Given) the dependent nature of Iraq's ec;onomy and military machine, the war and its consequences were, and are, unnecessary to reverse the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait," said Joel Edelstein of the University of Colorado at Denver. EQelstein, who teaches a Persian Gulf crisis course, said the United States is deeply divided about war. "Bush put over 470,000 soldiers into the Gulf, locking the country into a war position, and held the Congress hostage for a vote of support," he said. "At that, he only got 52 senators to go along, showing the deep divisions within this country." Speaking for the Arab perspective, Hamzi Moghrabi said that the Arab people are angry and that the Middle East is not divided for the convenience of the people. "Monarchies are a western concept, not an. Arab concept," he said. "When Iraq is demolished, are we going to rebuild (and) maintain absolute monarchies in countries which are our friends?

Moghrabi also spoke against Arab discrimination. "We are teaching our children terrorism," he said. 'The Arab-Americans are part of this community. They did not start the war." "Rocky Mountain News" writer Clarke Watson called Israel a puppet government and America's 51st state. "It practices a religion as legitimate as any other religion, but this isn 'treligion, it's territorialism," he said. Watson said that oil companies have an enormous influence on foreign and domestic policy in the U.S. "Oil industry executives are the people who support this war," Watson said. "We're there for two reasons: big bucks and to maintain a strong presence and watchful government in the Middle East." Metropolitan State College of Denver political science instructor Chris Thurner said the idea that war is good for the economy is a myth. 'The long-term costs of Vietnam set off inflation that we've not yet recovered from," he said. Speaking on the Vietnam comparison,

peace movement activist Ellen Slatkin said of the U.S. government, "They're continuing to lie to us." Slatkin said she is working · on her dissertation at UCLA on ' 60s radicalism and anti-war protest. Edelstein said he worked to end the war in South East Asia for 10 years. "We were told we were not supporting our own people," he said. "We were supporting them - to come home."

In the audience of about 50 was Community College of Denver student Richard Brown, a Vietnam veteran who said he appreciated the peace movement when he served in Vietnam from 1968 to 1970. "I appreciated everyone speaking out," he said.

Edelstein said he hopes we can get to righting the direction of America from unnecessary aggression and suffering. "It takes a lo.t of work," he said. "I hope that you will consider partaking in the process." Watson urged people to effect public policy by writing letters to their editors and by educating neighbors. "Don't ridicule people who are patriotically for the war," he said "They're wrong, but they're not bad people. They're just illinformed." 0

Dear Metro Connections: Four months ago I was hit very hard by memo· ries ofsexual abuse when I was a child. Now, I' m wondering how much to share with my husband and three teenaged children. I've been married for 21 years and we've always confuled in each other a lot; but this, at IUMs, still/eels very "unreal." I'm just not sure how my husband and kids will reacL They brow thaJ I'm trying to workthrough something-do they need 16 know whaJ? ..• ....Nightmared

Dear Nightmared: Fust I want to tell you that I admire and respect you forthe courage that you have shown in your willingness to begin this process of healing. Also, it would be insensitive to act as though there is a simple answer to your question. Remembering childhood sexual abuse is a very painful, confusing and possibly disorienting process, in which many people repon abuse is facilitated by having a relationship where you can freely explore the abuse in an environment of acceptance, understanding, and caring. At this point, I'm not sure that your husband and children are the most appropriate source of suppon or assistance. This is not to say that there won't be a time when sharing your past abuse with your family will be helpful to you and them. However, I would strongly encourage you to limit any disclosure to your husband, at least until you have had the chance to speak with a counselor who is trained to work with victims of sexual abuse. Two organizations providing services to victims of sexual abuse are WINGS (Women Incested Needing Group Suppon Foundation, !nc.), 238-8660, and the Incest Survivors Hotline, 425-3318. Also, the MSCD Counseling Center can provide you with the names of persons who deal specifically with sexual abuse.

I have reason to believe thaJ my ex-spouse's live-in boyfriend is abusing my children, who live with them. I've heard many stories from visitations with my children most of the episodes center around ''play" or "having fun.'' They range from the children being tied up to getting their heads put in the toilet. I've con· fronted their mother about these episodes and she either denies the reports from the children or says that I've taken the children's stories out ofcontext. The children appear afraidand are beginning to exhibit maladjustive behavior. What should I do?

Dear parent:

The best way that you can show your love and caring for your children right now is to do what you can to ensure tha1 they are safe. Abuse of children assumes many different fonns and is often emotional in nature. The mistreatment of children is a problem that cannot be solved privately. If you have reason to believe that your children are being neglected or physically mistreated, it is your responsibility to involve child pr9tective services. In Denver, the place to call is the child abuse hotline 893-61 1l. If you repon suspected child abuse, your identity will remain confidential. In other areas, the repon should be made to either county social services or directly to the police department. This action may be frightening for you to take, especially as this is your family. However, children depend upon adults to look out for and protect them. lt might help to talk to a counselor to son out your feelings and get some suppon. This is available to Metro students in the Counseling Center (CN-203). Parents Anonymous (695-7996- is a suppon group for parents in situations similar to yours.

Gulf war Hands link support for troops Jim Langland The Metropolitan

Ann Marie Hurtado has two brothers in the Persian Gulf and one waiting on alert. "In the last letter I received, my brother wrote 'by the time you get this, I will be 24 miles from the border.'"

Joe Navarro opposes U.S. aggression and a disproportionate number of minorities serving in the Gulf.

Cheering people waving flags and chanting pro-American slogans Feb. 3 tried to let the American soldiers in Saudi Arabia know that they are supported. What began a little over a week before as the idea of a Mary Oruna, whose husband is in the Navy, resulted in 300 to 400 people lining a three-block area beginning at Colfax A venue and Federal Boulevard and going west. The rally, which was called "Hands Across Colorado," didn't reach their goal of locking hands from Grand Junction to Denver. Denver coordinator Paige Evans still felt the rally was a success. "Whether we touch hands or not is not important. The idea is that we touched minds and we touched spirits," Evans said. "We are all here to support the troops," said Kim Wanberg, a Metropolitan State College of Denver electrical engineering student.Wanberg summed up the opinion of many of the ralliers when he said, "I'm here to fully support the troops. I hope they all come home peacefully, and no matter what happens I support them 100 percent." Wanberg also brought his five sons to the rally so they could show their support as well. The rally attracted all types of people from senior citizens and children to people ridding motorcycles and dressed in leather. "We've got one of everything," said Evans. "We've got dogs and kids and flags." Ten-year-old Bobby White came to the rally to show his support for his big brother,

who is in Saudi Arabia. White said it was important that his brother knows that the United States supports him. White even had his fifth grade class write to his brother. When he was asked what be would like to' tell his brother he said, "come home safely." Radio station KAzy, which supports American soldiers in Saudi Arabia, supplied music for the ralliers. "The only way those guys are going to get home is if they get the job done," said Mike Ellis, promotions and marketing director for the station. When Orona came up with the idea of "Hands Across Colorado," she was traveling from Tennessee to California, where her husband was being transferred. According to Evans, Oruna stopped in Grand Junction to visit her aunt when she saw a news report about anti-war demonstration. She then decided to have a rally that would show the American soldiers that the United States supports them. Oruna helped Sunday with the rally in Grand Junction. Sergeant Ely Trujillo, from Fort Carson in Colorado Springs, was also at the rally. Seven of his men were sent to Saudi Arabia Jan. 31 in support of a unit out of Fort Knox. He also has two cousins currently in the Middle East. "I've been overseas a lot of times, and the people路over there protest us, and it's nice to know you have people over here supporting us," Trujillo said. "I feel like we're protectors. We're not just going over there for another country, we're actually trying to help the world out," he said.

Freelance reporter Kim Whaples contributed to this report.

Steven Fleming "Blacks would still be living without civil rights without protesting."

Paul Arnold "I will never condemn people for doing what the country wants them to do. We've got plenty of oil. People are going to die for it. They should only die for freedom."

Reactions Sister's concern is all relative Jim Langland The Metropolitan

..,

Ann Marie Hurtado is a quiet person, the type that would rather curl up on a couch and listen to music then speak to a noisy crowd of people. But speak to a crowd is precisely what she did Feb. l outside the Student Union. "It just got to me so bad inside," she said, referring to the people protesting the war. "I just had to let them know." Ann Marie doesn't have the luxury of deciding how she feels about the war, her mind has been made up for her. Two of her brothers are in Saudi Arabia and another is on alert "Normally I'm really secretive," she said. She even cherishes her privacy so much that she doesn't answer the phone at times. She surprised herself on Friday. "I felt by speaking out ... I may have made some people think." Ann Marie is concerned that the people against the war don't realize how they affect the American soldiers. In a phone call from her brother Jose, 21, who is stationed in Saudi Arabia, he asked, "Why do people have to protest? Why don't they just support us?" "I really don't think Johnny and Lucky (21 and 22, her other two brothers in the service) went into the Marines to kill people. They went in to save us," she said. All three of her three brothers wanted to join the service since Ann Marie can remember. Lucky, who has been in the Marines for three years, was waiting for his discharge when he was notified that he would be going to Saudi Arabia. The last time Ann Marie heard from him was Jan. 6. Johnny is a foot soldier who has been in the Marines for the last two years. Now he is at Camp Pendleton in California waiting on alert. Johnny's biggest concern is his new wife and the birth of their child in April or

May. Jose is an Army airborne medic and has been in the Army for the past 11 m~nths. He is presently stationed in Saudi Arabia and has been assigned 60 soldiers. He wanted to join the Army bad enough to have a pin removed from his shoulder in fear that it would cause him a medical discharge. Ann Marie is concerned about her brothers' mental health as much as their physical health. She talked about the last letter that Jose wrote. He sounded like a different person, she said. He sounded depressed and he was never like that. According to Ann Marie, in his letter he said, "I've gotten orders ... by the time you get this, I'll be 24 miles away from the front line. I don't mean to worry you, but I'm getting really scared." In a letter that Ann Marie received from Lucky, he made comments about how "he was waiting to die," and how he " lives day by day." Ann Marie is concerned about her brothers and is afraid that the anti-war rallies only upset them more. "They (the soldiers) can see this on TV over there. They see pictures路 of the rallies and get really depressed," she said. Jose told her in a phone call that "me and a few of the guys were talking the other day and could you imagine if we went back to the United States and got treated like Vietnam veterans were treated? Ifthat is how it's going to be I don't want to go back." Ann Marie said that, during the days following the beginning of the war, she could not keep her mind on school. "I tried to study but it just never seemed to matter. Johnny helped me realize, during a phone call, that I need to keep up my classes." Ann Marie carries a continual reminder of her brothers with her. A prisoner of war bracelet with the insctiption "1990-1991 Operation Desert Storm. Until they all come home." 0

Nick Oliva "Because we are pro-policy doe not mean we are pro-death. You protestors are p shing against the 路 tides of popularity. Think deepe than the slogans you hold above your head."

Kamil Hassan is an American Palestinian. He said that this war is not a human rights issue, the U.S. has a history.of aggression in foreign countries.

Somebody really oughtto tell them that the machine is out of four-cent stamps, though. I wonder where I can get the form for that.

LETTERS

Student stoking no-smoking controversy Editor, This letter is in regards to the governor's new executive order banning smoking in all state owned buildings. The premise of this order is in the interests and well being of our great state and in the interests of better utilizing and caring for state owned facilities. However, as a smoker, a taxpayer and a student I urge the administration of both the governor's office and the campus to reconsider the ban for the Auraria Higher Education complex. As a smoker, I resent being persecuted for my vice. Years ago smoking was allowed in the classroom, during class, at Metro. In 1985 sfooking rooms were allotted for students who smoke to enjoy their tobacco without affecting the rest of the student body. Now the overloaded smoking areas are a thing of the past. Now, we (the smoking student body) are forced to resort to the high school tactics of smoking in the bathrooms! I realize that second hand smoke has been proven to be hazardous to the health of individuals. But, when the new airport opens - the increased air and automobile traffic are sure to have a significant

impact on the air quality in the city. More so, I dare say, than the second hand smoke that non-smoking students used to inhale in the former restricted smoking areas on the campus. I do not believe that the physical well being of the citizens of Colorado came into play during the airport campaign, indeed one of the strongest points of the opponents argued againstthefearofturning DenverintoalosAngeles choking chamber of the Rockies. Aside from that, it is truly disheartening that after a new federal alcohol and cigarette tax has been imposed to be further hounded by the state government. I thought we were already paying our dues! Furthermore, the executive order unfortunately covers a campus institution known as The Mission. The Mission is a bar on the campus located on the lower level of the student union which is paid for by student fees. Why would a student who smokes on this campus that would like to have a beer go to the Mission when the Boiler Room, a bar in the Tivoli, has no such restrictions? These students will undoubtedly bring with them friends who are non-

smokers but wish to unwind with their cohorts after a long day at school. The double standard between The Mission and The Boiler Room is sure to eventually deplete the business of the Mission to an unacceptable degree, possibly closing its doors forever. There are many reasons to fight for the right to smoke in The Mission besides the obvious unfair competition that is created by the order. I will not argue for civil rights and civil liberties, although an argument certainly exists, I just believe that requesting a restricted smoking area in the Mission is a minor concession that the students deserve and will support. To facilitate the means to an end, a petition is available in The Mission for students to sign. To make a difference and keep our campus bar in good health, please visit and enlist yourself on the side of your fellow students and the side of civil rights and civil liberties.

Persian Gulf War causes sleepless nights of remembering past conflicts Editor, · Here I am at 4:00 A.M. tired but unable to sleep, yet feel the compulsion to express my feelings on the current situation in the Persian Gulf. And, from the perspective of one who has been through the experience of a war, too: It has been just over 20 years and this country again finds itself in a conflict. Unlike Vietnam or Korea, this at least has been recognized as a war. The only difference that exists might be that more individuals support a conflict if a war is declared. Thousands of men and women (over 58,000 in Vietnam alone) have lost their lives fighting for the freedom we have today. I rest assured that flag burning was not intended to be one of those freedoms.

Don't forget those who still remain patients in the many VA hospitals. And, the yet-to-be "patients" (from the Gulf War) possibly to be left in the same institutions, isolated and forgotten by society. People have lost the thoughts of the grim realities of war. And, the feelings that persist in one's life far beyond the return from the actual confrontation. Who, like myself, will react with depression, anger, and isolation, and, not realize why. Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) does exist, and remains with an individual for the rest of his (her) life. Many of those now serving in the Persian front will be affected with PTSD upon their return. I believe a peaceful settlement should be aggressively pursued and implemented. as soon as possible to prevent more lives from being lost, from all sides.

Gift of Presidency given Holden irritates student Editor, Dan Holden has been a controversial figure on campus because of his outstanding ability to alienate certain sectors of the campus community and promote disturbing causes. His successful bid for the presidency of student government is an indication that most students are uninformed or don't care about who is representing them and spending their hard earned money. · Had people been aware of what Dan Holden represents they wouldn't have allowed him to manipulate his way into office. Furthermore, most decent people would have been offended at his repulsive actions. In 1989, Dan Holden tried to dissuade wh-ite people from voting for a slate of candidates because they were, "a radical feminist, a gay Jew, a Black and a bunch of Mexicans." In 1990 he was running-mate with Kelly Martin. She won the presidency and he the vice presidency. She immediately resigned and Dan became president. He is president, not through his own credibility and honesty, but rather as a result of a calculated maneuver. Now, in my opinion, Dan Holden ls using our student

fees for his own personal political ambitions. Aside from the fact that I am opposed to his right-wing political cause, that is, using our funds and resources for an organization-which is not a recognized student club-College Republicans, I think that his actions are, at least, unethical and possibly illegal. He has no business being the entrusted representative of our (students) interests. When we pay student fees, we expect them to be taken care of honestly and fairly. We expectthem tcibe utilized for student clubs and authorized educational events, not for one individual's political causes. Dan Holden should be held accountable. He should also reveal publicly what he is doing with our money. If there is a possibility that our money is being mismanaged illegally, then I think that the M.S.C.D. President's office should initiate an investigation. As students, who pay fees, we should have right to responsible, honest and fair representation in student government. Maybe next time, we can be more careful in electing our representatives.

PoLICY The Metropolitan encourages submission of letters to the editor and guest editorials on relevant and timely topics. All submissions must be typed. Libelous or offensive material will not be published. Errors will n.ot be corrected, unless by the writer. Letters must include name, title, school and phone number.

Letters will be printed with name withheld only if they are signed upon submission. The editor must verify the identity of every submitter. Letters may be brought to The Metropolitan office in Student Union room 156, or mailed to campus box 57. For additional information, call The Metropolitan at 556-8361.

For the military personnel who are over there now, I urge all to support them. And, upon their return, continue to support them. recognize the traumas they have experienced and aid them in their readjustment process. Do not give them the same response those returning from Korea and Vietnam received. One more thought. If the United States reduces the amount of petroleum consumed daily, then perhaps the need for a war of this nature will not occur again. Use mass transit, car-pool, ride a bike. Anything will help. And, make it a continuing effort to further reduce petroleum usage. Then, we all can breath easier.

lt's"MetroNightatJazzworks,"Feb. 13, starring the Metropolitan State College of Denver's jazz ensemble and contemporary jazz trumpeter, Jon Faddis. Faddis, 38, is appearing with the ensemble at the jazz club beneath the Wynkoop Brewery the night before he begins his appearances at the "Mile High Jazz Festival" Feb. 14-16. The festival is a gathering of 70 bands who perform for each other, high school students and the public over three days. This year, the festival is being held at Thornton High School. Faddis is the headlining act for the show. Backing Faddis will be MSCD's jazz ensemble, chosen by Faddis from several college bands throughout Colorado. Walter Barr, director of bands and coordiriator of the instrumental music program at MSCD, arranged to have the trumpeter play with the band at the Jazzworks, for the extra night. ''This will be great publicity for the band," Barr said, "plus a fun night for them to get out and play." Barr was excited because the night at the Jazzworks was a chance for the band members to play somewhere besides school and "get a taste of giggin."' The night with Faddis was originally scheduled to be held at St. Cajetan's, but the hailstorm last semester damaged the church and Barr had to reschedule. To everyone's benefit, Jazzworks had an opening and Lou Fischer,thecontractorforJazzworks,agreed to book Faddis and the band. Before the "gig" at the Jazzworks, the band will have rehearsal at the school from

Faddis went on to play for Lionel Hampton and the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis big band and other well-known musicians. He eventually attracted his own following throughout the world. His trumpet can be heard in songs by Frank Sinatra, Quincy Jones and even the "Rolling Stones." He can also be heard on television playing the theme to the "Cosby Show," and in the movies in Clint Eastwood's "Bird." Faddis also made several solo albums and played on many other tracks by jazz musicians. "He's a great contemporary trumpet player," Barr said. " He's got quite a gathering." But it's not just Faddis that deserves recognition for his performances, the MSCD jazz ensemble will be performing music they are only slightly familiar with since Barr and the group will rehearse only a few times before the show. The ensemble will also appear in front of almost 100 bands and several thousand people at the "Mile High Jazz Festival" which means great exposure for all the members, especially backing Faddis. "Metro Night at Jazzworks" begins at 8:30 p.m., Feb. 13, and admission is free for faculty and students with a valid MSCD ID. Jazzworks is located beneath the Wynkoop Brewery at 18th and Wynkoop streets. 0

Martial arts expert appears on campus to promote film of the top professionals in the world. " Great kenpo is like a great billiard player," he said. "One shot sets up the next; sets up the next ..." If his acting career takes off, his next shots are already set up. He signed a multipicture deal with Paramount Studios and, if his movie does well, he will do a series of films for Paramount. Speakman's theory of kenpo may serve him in his acting career as well. "Total domination, total control - com-

J.C. Long The Metropolitan

Fast-paced Hollywood martial arts action arrived at Metropolitan State College of Denver, Feb. 6, in the form of actor Jeff Speakman. Speakman appeared on campus as part of a promotional tour for his upcoming movie, "The Perfect Weapon." Speakman, a Chicago native, spoke to an MSCD tae kwon do class and demonstrated different kenpo techniques. Kenpo incorporates the principles of physics and math to classical methods of martial arts fighting. To help with his demonstration, Speakman chose MSCD student Mark Ashby. As Ashby performed his assigned moves, Speakman threw a series of very fast punches to Ashby's head and torso. At one point in the demonstration a punch from Speakman struck a little too close for comfort. "He really rocked me with that last one," Ashby said. When asked if he was afraid he said, "You don't ever feel scared because he is a fourth-degree-black belt. You know he isn't going to hurt you because he is completely in control, but you respect him." Speakman first became interested in karate while attending Missouri Southern State University. He received a degree in psychology to go along with a fifth degree black belt in karate. He later opened his own dojo, or karate studio, in Missouri before moving to California to train with Ed Parker, kenpo grand

Jeff Speakman master. Parker worked with Bruce Lee and Elvis Presley and is known as the "Father of American Karate." Parker, who recently died, served as technical adviser for the film and helped Speakman choreograph his role. The movie is dedicated to his former teacher. Speakman's new movie represents 12 years of hard work including six years of acting classes. "I had small parts in 'Hunter,' a sit-com, and some movies, but none of them were action scenes," he said. "I wanted to be an actor first and then a martial artist." As an actor, Speakman is an unknown. But as a martial artist, he is regarded as one

Pollution, recycling, energy top CoPIRG agenda ·. Gail Spencer The Metropolitan Pollution prevention, recycling and energy efficiency top the agenda this semester for the Metropolitan State College of .Denver's chapter of the Colorado Public Interest Research Group. "CoPIRG was established at Metro to give students a voice on issues that concern them," said Elizabeth Hauptman, MSCD student and CoPIRG local board chair. The CoPIRG campus agenda is decided each semester by the organization's student-run local board which is elected by MSCD's CoPIRG chapter and· is part of a CoPIRG state board comprised of representatives from each participating campus. Colorado's four participating campuses are MSCD, University of Northern Colorado in Greeley, Colorado State University in Ft. Collins and the University of Southern Colorado in Pueblo. This year the board chose three priority issues. CoPIRG campus organizer Susan Lieberman said that each ofthe three projects will have one big event this semester, to be decided on after a CoPIRG student action meeting, Feb. 7. MSCD student Deb Walker got involved with CoPIRG last semester. "I'm learning that dealing with corporations on a legislative scale is not really easy and it talces a lot of work and dedication," Walker said. "It's exciting because I feel like I'm really male-

ing a difference." First on the agenda is a toxic use reduction campaign. The pending legislation, House Bill 1205, sponsored by Rep. Matt Jones, D-Adams County, requires Colorado's largest users of toxic chemicals to develop pollution prevention plans that reduce the use of dangerous chemicals. Companies would also provide information about their use of toxic chemicals inorder to track the sucess of pollution prevention and toxic use reduction. "The main objective is to get companies to focus on preventing pollution before it's created and to get them to reduce their use of toxic chemicals," CoPIRG environmental advocate Michael Nemecek said. "We have to shift from controlling pollution to preventing it in the first place." Nemecek said that in 1988, 21 million pounds of toxic chemicals were released into the environment by Colorado companies. CoPIRG's other two priority campaigns involve protecting consumer rights. Senate Bill 150, sponsored by Sen. Al Mieklejohn, R-Arvada, seeks to set up an insurance consumer advocate to represent consumers as a group. According to CoPIRG lobbyist Chuck Malik, the Insurance Commissioner, who acts as an arbitrator between insurance companies and the public, received 7 ,000 written complaints in 1988 and 10,000 in 1990. "This problem is getting worse rather than better," Malik said. He said that a 1978 to 1987 report from

the Government Accounting Office shows state board and a full-time lobbyist. Campus that the net profits to insurance companies organizers, who are paid from 40 percent of from auto insurance alone was 23 billion funds designated for campus programs, are dollars.

Fisher said that tickets for the events will not be very expensive. He said that they would range between $5 and $10, depending of whether it was a preliminary round or the finals. The money generated from ticket sales at Auraria, however, represents a fraction of the total amount of money the festival could generate for the state. According to an economic impact study by the Colorado Sports Council, the festival could bring as much as $40 million to Denver and the Front Range. Timing is another important advantage of having the 1995 Olympic Festival. It will be one ofthe nation 's most prominent warrnup meets before the 1996 Summer Olympic games in Atlanta. Fisher said that he was happy to get the 1995 festival because it coincides with the

1996 Olympics. "Some of the athletes competing in the Olympic Festival will be the same ones competing in the Olympics," he said. Feuerborn said that the four-year wait will enable him to prepare the new gym for the events. "We will be able to get all the kinks out of our operation," he said. The Olympic Festival Committee selected Denver and two other cities Feb. 1, from a list of five finalists. San Antonio will host the 1993 festival and St. Louis will get the 1994 festival. Miami and Baltimore' s bids fell short. TheOlympic Festivals' are scheduled to be held in the years between the Olympic Games. The Auraria Gymnasium is tenta0 tively scheduled for July 1991.

THEI\{ETROPOLITAN

A view from-the press box Denver Nuggets Dale Shrull Sports Editor

The three stooges; act II

Barn, barn, barn - still going, the energizer. Run, run, run, shoot, shoot, shoot not still going, Michael Adams. TheheartandsoleoftheDenverNuggets, the Nuggets' energizer, is on the bench again with the hamstrings that hate to run. Speed and quickness is Adams' game; however humans get their speed and quickness from the hamstring muscle and Adams' hamstrings can't hold up to the wear and tear of a rigorous NBA schedule. Especially the Nuggets' run-and-gun pace. The Nuggets must find someone who can spell Adams. He can't run the Nuggets offense for 40-plus minutes a game, 82 games a year. Adams just finished the greatest two weeks of basketball of his life. He was named player of the week, had 45- and 41point efforts and run the Nuggets to six consecutive wins whether they wanted them of not. Now, for the second time this season, the left hamstring has gone haywire - Chris Jackson! Come on down, your the next contestant as the Nuggets' starting point guard. With the All-Star break upon us, all the

Nuggets will be in street clothes for a while. When the Nuggets' schedule resumes the question will have to be answered: Can Chris Jackson be a point guard for the Denver Nuggets? No! That will be the answer. Jackson wasn't a point guard at LSU, he was a shooter - a great shooter. But there aren't very many 6-foot-l-inch shooting guards in the NBA. He must play the point. But not for the Nuggets. Why can't Jackson run the point for the Nuggets? The Nuggets are different from any team in the NBA. Remember, different not special. Under Doug Moe or Paul Westhead, the Nuggets' system is the same, it revolves around one thing: running. A similar question could be asked about Adams. Could he start for other teams in the NBA that don't run as much as the Nuggets? Maybe a few, but not a lot. To make the Nuggets' running game go, there has to be a speed merchant at the point. Moe resurrected Adams from the Continental Basketball Association, just so he could push the ball up the court as fast as humanly possible.

Now, with Westhead, Adams is doing it better than he has ever done it before. That's Adams' game - run, run, run. But his hamstrings often say no, no, no. Running isn't Jackson's game. Shooting is. Quickness is. Running a half-court offensive probably is. No, Jackson isn'tgoing to be a flop in the NBA, he has too many skills. Many firstyear players have a difficult time adjusting. But he isn't the type of player who can run the Nuggets into a playoff team. It is becoming apparent that Westhead doesn't want Jackson. He wants a runner, a bolt of lightning to put a charge into the Nuggets offense. Jackson isn't a speed energizer. The Nuggets have to make a decision. Considerations they have to weigh: Westhead doesn't like Jackson's game for his system, Adams hamstrings are too weak' to hold up, Jackson was the third pick in the draft-is ittooearlytogiveuponhim? And if they decide to trade him, can they get enough for him? Âˇ To keep Jackson would undermine Westhead' s system. To trade Jackson would be a vote of confidence for Westhead and his

system. Also, to trade Jackson would be admitting that they goofed. However the Nuggets have a scapegoat. They can blame Moe. Whether it was Moe's idea to draft Jackson or not doesn't matter. If the Nuggets trade Jackson they will place the blame squarely on Moe and be able to squirm out of any embarrassment. If Jackson stays in Denver next year, Westhead will be gone. It's that simple. The ball is in the front office's court now. Keep Jackson, fire Westhead. Trade Jackson, stick with Westhead. What's granola and where does it come from? So many questions. And whenever the owners of the Nuggets have a question, their answer is usually questionable. Unfortunately their answer will be determined by other factors. To fire Westhead would show their stupidity; to trade Jackson would do the same. But the wild card here is Doug Moe. They'll trade Jackson and blame Moe. What else would these three stooges do - pick out a scapegoat named Moe. Yuck, yuck, yuck! Q

MSCDwomen closing in on school record for victories

The 'Runners were led in scoring by last weeks CACplayerofthe week, center Holly Roberts, who poured in 28 points.

Moser wins CAC player of the week .. -

Dale Shrull Sports Editor Senior forward Tim Moser capped a productive week of basketball by being named the Colorado Athletic Conference player of the week.

During his senior year in high school, Moser was named the Colorado Class AA basketball player of the year and help lead Lutheran to the state AA championship his
