NEWS AHEC loses lawsuit Barry Tobin The Metropolitan The Auraria Higher Education Center has been ordered by a federal court to pay more than $395,000 in damages and attorneys' fees to an Auraria Public Safety officer who was terminated four years ago. AHEC has since appealed the decision, but has complied with a requirement of the court order to reinstate Ernest E. Curtis, 53, of Aurora, to his former position. Curtis was reinstated August 19, said JoAnn Soker, executive vice president for administration at AHEC. "His salary will be commensurate with the rate established by the state of Colorado for those working in the same classification," she said. John Mosby, attorney for Curtis, said: "Auraria doesn't expect to win the appeal. They are cutting their losses by reinstating him."

Curtis has been advised by his attorney not to comment on the case. According to court records, Curtis was terminated for abusing sick leave and working a second job without departmental permission. An amount of $180,000 has been reserved by AHEC to guarantee payment of the judgment, costs, and interest, and will remain reserved until final resolution of the case on appeal, court records state. "We are looking at the appeal going to trial at the end of the year or the beginning of next year," said Lisa LaBelle Scott, assistant attorney general, and one of the attorneys for AHEC. The trouble began in 1984 when Curtis, a black man, filed a charge of discrimination against AHEC with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission after being denied a promotion that was given to a lessexperienced white officer. That action allegedly spurred poor per-

formance reports issued to Curtis which prompted him to file a charge in 1985 with the EEOC and the Colorado Civil Rights Commission accusing AHEC of retaliation. The EEOC found no cause for the dissee Lawsuit page 4

Changes ahead for constitution

Lllura Gra1111-T oma I The Metropolrtan

A summer of problems has plagued the relationship between Wiman and Vander Horst.

Up against the wall Pres. Wiman and V. P. Vander Horst declare truce after summer of battles Lawrence E. Jones Pete Lewis The Metropolitan A student government meeting held Aug. 14 went smoothly and business was completed, but a summer filled with allegations and accusations between the president and vice president went unresolved. Less than two months after being elected president of MSCD' s student government, Chip Wiman requested the resignation of Anthony Vander Horst, his vice president. In tum, Vander Horst accused Wiman of violating student government's constitution and initiated proceedings to oust him from office. Administrators, who had high hopes for the new student government, were surprised when things began to go awry between Wiman and Vander Horst. "They were both very committed to

making student government work," said Thomas Brewer, MSCD' s president. "The next thing I knew, things seemed to be falling apart." Vander Horst 's allegations against Wiman for violating the constitution include a change in the student government budget, placing administrative control of the club funding committee under Student Activities and the appointment of executive cabinet members all without senate ratification. These allegations became a moot point, according to Wiman, after the meeting when the senate ratified both the new budget submitted by Wiman and his executive appointments. The move of the administrative control of club funding is still an issue, according to Vander Horst. Wiman, however, said that the student government has proven ineffective at running the business end of club funding, thus warranting the move to a more reliable adminsee Government page 4

The constitution governing the MSCD student government is ineffective and needs to be replaced, according to student body President Chip Wiman and members of the administration. "The constitution is poorly written, poorly worded, and a very weak document," said Karen Thorpe, assistant vice president of Student Affairs. Thorpe said that the constitution needs an "overhaul" to create a more effective document. This may require a restructuring of the entire student government as well. The student government has been plagued with troubles during the summer and Wiman partly blames the constitution. He said the constitution encumbers progress rather than facilitates it. " It' s not the letter of the law, but the spirit of the law that is important," he said. Meichell Walsh, a student senator who has been involved with student government for the past three years, agrees that there needs to be a change. She has submitted a proposal to the student senate that calls for a formation of a Student Representative Council to replace student government. MSCD President Thomas Brewer said that if the constitution needs to be changed, then it must be done in accordance with the procedures already in place. Any new constitution or referendum to change the organization of student government would have to be approved by a student vote. "CCHE (Colorado Commission on Higher Education) says that there has to be a voice; it doesn't say there has to be a student government," said

Curtis' hours were subsequent! y changed to nighttime hours, and due to outside fmancial constraints, he took a second job. David Rivera, director of Auraria Public Safety, granted Curtis permission to work a second job, subject to certain conditions in December 1986. According to Jim Ferguson, public information officer at Auraria, second job authorizations are "contingent upon the officer performing his duties at Auraria in an ac-

ceptable manner." "As a supervisor, I would observe the officer for signs of fatigue and decreased effectiveness," Ferguson said. "The safety of the officer and others is the concern here and I would ask the officer to make changes if the situation called for it." When asked if Curtis will be terminated if AHEC wins the case on appeal, Rivera said, "Our intent is to abide by the court's decision at whatever stage it is." Sgt. Curtis said it is good to be back. He added that he will be supervising a group of public safety officers who are patrolling the 0 campus.

Government from 3 istrative body. According to Yolanda Erickson, director of student activities, the students will retain the control of allocating funds for the clubs, the office of student activities will only control the paperwork and collection hassles. However, this summer is apparently at the heart of the breakdown between the two. In a memo dated June 26. three days after their retreat in Estes Park, Wiman asked for Vander Horst's resignation. Wiman stated that Vantler Horst had failed to attend any of the goal planning sessions at the retreat. According to V antler Horst, the retreat was changed from an original trip to Vail without senate ratification and therefore he did not attend any of the meetings in protest against this action. "That's a pretty destructive way to protest," said Karen Thorpe, assistant vice president of Student Affairs, who attended the retreat. After the retreat, communications broke down between Wiman and V antler Horst. During the summer months, the senate is not required to meet, and therefore cannot ratify any decisions made by the president. Wiman said he wanted to accomplish some goals during the summer and went ahead with several projects. Vander Horst said that without the senate meeting in quorum, these projects cannot go ahead. "You cannot stop student government because the senators won't come to the meetings," Wiman said.

V ander Horst's "lack of work" this summer has also created problems in their working relationship, according to Wiman, prompting the president to put a halt on Vander Horst's paycheck, although it was reinstated by Erickson. "I've only asked him to do his job," Wiman said. But Vander Horst said he was doing his job, just not what Wiman was telling him to do. The student athletic fee raise of$2, rather than $1 as stipulated by a student referendum, is a clear case of Wiman allowing the students to be taken advantage of, Vander Horst said. "Chip allowed the students' referendum to be stepped on with the raising of the student athletic fee from $1 to $2 and set a precedent," he said. Brewer said that the decision was made long before the current student government administration took office. According to Brewer, a referendum has only advisory power and that the president and board of trustees are not bound by it. The extra dollar raise was needed this year, he said, to ensure the support of intercollegiate activities. Impeachment, apparently, will no longer be on Wiman's or Vander Horst's agenda. "Unless the senate brings it up, I'll let it rest," Vander Horst said. "But questions will come up." However, the issue between the two is not buried, according to Wiman. "The senators need to take a look at it," he said. 'Tm not going to dedicate any more of my time to that situation." 0

The new PE/Recreation and Events Center has added squash and racquetball courts, a new lobby and hardwood floors, but there still is no grand opening date. "We are 98 percent completed," said DickFeuerbom, director ofthe new center. Feuerborn declined to speculate on the grand opening date saying that he wants all the contractors to be out of the building before the announcement is made. According to Wayne Ortega, events coordinator, plans are already in the works for the grand opening. "We are planning activities for the grand opening that will help familiarize people with the new facility," Ortega said. He said that a treasure-hunt is one activity under consideration. Participants will follow clues and explore areas of the new facility to locate prizes such as water bottles and fitness T-shirts. Free locker and towel service will also be among the prizes offered.

TheMetroAreaConnection,RTD'slight rail demonstration project, was approved July 17 by the Denver Regional Council of Governments. The go-ahead for the $67 million project, linking Five Points to the Auraria campus, comes almost three months after it was proposed to the council in response to Colorado Senate Bill 208. The bill, enacted by the Colorado General Assembly in 1990, requires a designated Metropolitan Planning Organization to approve construction of any mass transit plan. The light rail proposal was passed 20-15. RTD will build a light-rail station on the south sideoftheAuraria campus, just behind the Child Care Center running along Colfax A venue. The line will relocate a concrete wall, cutting about three feet of outdoor area at the center. Construction is scheduled to begin this fall, and the program will be completed in late 1993, according to RTD. Debbie Jump, director of the Child Care Center said she will be "keeping a close eye on the impact of the system," stressing the i.J:nportance of safety and quality control of the child-care program. She is optimistic that the center will be relatively unaffected, however, and adds that light-rail is "really exciting for Denver and the campus." A public hearing was held by RTD and the council June 26 on the MSCD campus. The purpose of the meeting was to give the Regional Council an idea of what kind of public support existed for the light rail project. The hearing weighed heavily in support of the project, with many citing the economics of the issue. RTD Chairman Jack Mccroskey, who

Book store tries to ease book-buying frustration The Auraria Book Center has implemented a plan that ithopes will make the chore of buying books a little easier. Previously, books were arranged by subject matter, but this semester, they are arranged in alphabetical order by course initials. Another frustrating aspect ofthe bookbuying experience is the sometimes high cost of the books. The book center is not a profit-based operation, said Gretchen Minney, director of the Book Center and Reprographics. There is a 25 percent markup to cover overhead and expenses.

gave a brief presentation at the beginning of the hearing, said, "We have the technology, the right of way, and the financing; certainly we cannot delay any longer." The proposal will be met without new taxes or federal funding thanks to taxes collected in 1989-90. The taxes were instituted in response to a Colorado Supreme Court ruling in 1989. Denver Mayor Wellington Webb was not present at the hearing, but sent a letter. "We are moving transportation into the 20th Century," Webb wrote, adding that light rail was "integral to the long-term growth of the Metro area." Since the passage of the bill, the public has become more critical of the proposed line, with most of the controversy centering over the location of the line and its future expansion. The Rocky Mountain News, which has published a series of editorials against the project, points out that extensions of the demonstration project will require a tax referendum to be put before the people of Denver - one that might not be passed. The News believes the light rail project will be useless if routes to the suburbs such as Littleton and Boulder cannot be established, utilizing the technology of light rail. In response to criticism of the Metro Area Connection, Project Coordinator Brenda Bergman says critics are premature in their evaluation of the demonstration project. "Now is not the time to think about a tax referendum, let the demonstration demonstrate," she said. "MAC can stand for itself." MSCD student groups have not contacted RTD about special student fares, according to Bergman, but she says the line will most likely be free, like the 16th St. Mall buses. RTD will set up a booth at fall registration to better inform students about light rail. 0

Peer advisors to help students cut red tape Pete Lewis The Metropolitan

This fall MSCD students will have a new place to go with problems and questions. Peer advisors at the new Student Development Center, located in Room 112 in the Central Classroom Building, will be available with individualized, one-on-one advice and support to fellow students. The program is aimed at improving student retention, said Martelle Chapital, director of the Student Development Center. Chapital has hired 15 MSCD students as peer advisors and says they will be trained and ready to assist students on the first day of the fall semester. The 15 advisors have diverse backgrounds, ages, majors and interests so they can be matched with students with similar lifestyles, Chapital said. "They'll be like walking telephone books," Chapital said. The advisors will know MSCD policies, procedures and services available and give advice and information on activities, student life and ways to deal with campus red tape. Chapital said the advisors will receive

training in problem solving, crisis intervention and cultural sensitivity, but she emphasized the advisors will not deal with problems that are of a clinical nature. The advisors will be trained when to refer a student to the Counseling Center for help, she said. Student retention-the number of students that enters MSCD as compared with the number that graduates-is 21 percent and about 12 percent for minority students, Chapital said. Manuel Escamilla, assistant vice president for academic-minority affairs, said 50 percent of MSCD students leave school for reasons that have nothing to do with their academic performances. MSCD's student body is very non-traditional, he said. To emphasize this point, Escamilla said 48 percent of MSCD students are parents. Chapital said she expects at least 1,000 students to take advantage of the program its first year. "We want to make the journey as easy as possible for students," she said. MSCD students who wish to speak with a peer advisor can contact one by calling 556-4737 or going to Room 112 in the Central Classroom Building. 0

Upward Bound's techniques motivate students for future W. Bryon caver The Metropolitan Unbeknownst to most students at MSCD, there exists on campus a 26-year-old program that has helped more than 700 Denver students graduate from high school and about 200 earn college degrees. This program, called High School Upward Bound, is part of a national, federally funded program that has helped millions of students from low-income families graduate from high school and enter college, including many who have become attorneys and legislators and one who has become a mission specialist on the space shuttle. Without its help, about half the students in Upward Bound would have graduated from high school, said Charles Maldonado, the program's director at MSCD. The program here has had its share of influential graduates, including state Rep. Tony Hernandez, D-Denver, and Denver Fire Department Chief Richard Gonzales. Both had nothing but praise for the program. Upward Bound "was like a course in life," Hernandez said, adding that he attributes much of his success to his participation in Upward Bound. Gonzales said "It's the most significant support system I've ever encountered." To help the students' families, Maldonado has been working on a program, the Student Education Incentive Program, that would pay Upward Bound students $5 an hour to attend Upward Bound classes. He said it was successfully tested at MSCD for 18 months. Besides being paid to attend Upward Bound classes after school, Maldonado said that students on the program were also hired by the MSCD work study program to do either technical or clerical work. If Maldonado can obtain the necessary fund-

Upward Bound has the funding to help 60 Denver high school seniors, juniors and sophomores each year, with new students usually being added only when seniors in the program graduate from high school. Seniors make up about a third of Upward Bound's participants, allowing about 20 openings each year after they graduate. Though Upward Bound uses MSCD facilities, it is not funded through the college or student fees. Instead, the U.S. Department of Education foots the bill. The other main requirement for a student besides being low-income to be able to take part in Upward Bound is that no one else in the student's immediate family can have graduated from college. "We've had a few students over the years who were from middle-class families, or whose parents had college degrees," Maldonado said. 0

'Smart Moves' teens write anti-drug manual Pete Lewis The Metropolitan About 30 children are using the Auraria Library to research material for an anti-drug manual they hope to distribute nationally through the Boys and Girls Clubs of America. The children, ages 10-12, are researching, writing and illustrating the manual with the help of adult volunteers. The manual, with a tentative title of"Play Smart ... Don'tStart,"will be in a comic book format and will provide information about drugs and their street names, appearance and their symptoms, said Sam Thomas, branch manager of the Lincoln Park Boys and Girls Club, 808 Inca St. The project is funded by a $15,000 matching federal extension grant to the Smart Moves program, said Michelle Sosa, grant writer for Boys and Girls Clubs of Metro Denver. The children involved with producing the drug manual have already gone through a 10-week program designed to help children make the right choices about drugs, alcohol and early sexual involvement, Thomas said. "We use a lot of role playing," Thomas said. "These kids get a lot of peer pressure, and not just from other kids. They get it from the media. For example, from famous athletes endorsing alcohol." Besides informing other children, Thomas said there is another reason for produc-

ing the drug manual. "These kids will not be eligible for the next phase of the Smart Moves program until they are 13 years old," Thomas said, referring to a 12-week Smart Moves program for 13 to 15-year-olds.

'These kids get a lot of peer pres· sure, and not just from other kids. They get it from the media.' Thomas expects that producing the manual will be a learning experience. The children will be tested before, then after the manual is completed to see how much they have learned, be said. The Boys and Girls Clubs of Metro Denver plans to print 1,000 copies of "Play Smart... Don 't Start" for distribution to its five local branches. "We hope the program is accepted by the Boys and Girls Clubs of America," said Danielle Kienan, the coordinator for Smart Moves. "Then we will distribute them nationally." The Boys and Girls Club of Metro Denver is still seeking adult volunteers to help with the Smart Moves project as well as coaches, tutors and arts-and-crafts and dance instructors. Anyone interested should contact Kienan or Jeannie Wilson, volunteer coordinator at the Lincoln Park branch, at 893-2600. 0

FEATURE MSCD's World Indoor Airport clear for take-off Kim Brown Features Editor "United 212, standing by for clearance. .. over." "Roger, United 212. You're clear for take-off, runway two, for John Wayne Airport, Orange County. ETA 17:02 hundred hours ... over and out." In the MSCD aerospace science (AES) flight simulator program, this scenario is primitively possible. Current simulator equipment is on the brink of extinction; becoming obsolete. The AES is seeking to change that by 1994, with its slated "World Indoor Airport (WIA)," as revealed in an interview with AES Assistant Professor Felipe Serrano. The WI.A, planned since 1989, is still in its fund-raising stage. So far, the Federal Aviation Administration has awarded MSCD's WI.A witha$200,000grant, which the AES's budget matched, plus $67,500, said Serrano. More money is expected from the FAA, and hopefully, private sectors, he said. Serrano said the $1.5 million WI.A project includes: an expansion of the present AES simulator in room 134 of West Classroom to approximately 5000 sq. ft. and two stories high; sophisticated equipment, which can simulate 136 different kinds of air craft; an intricate air traffic control center with five radar stations covering the U.S.; and a link

to a real weather-briefing. In its plans of operation, the AES' s WI.A proposes to operate on all levels of areal-life flight service station, with weather briefings, flight plan filing, airport advisories, inflight weather advisories, flight plan openings/closings, air traffic controller links, and search and rescue operations such as aircraft sales, rentals, instruction, and maintenance, among others. A semester of piloting would entail a number of flight assignments with pre-programmed weather (and other conditional) surprises. These surprises are programmed by the AES instructors. Students might find themselves victim of an occasional, simulated high-jacking.

"We want it to be as realistic as possible," said Serrano. "We want to teach pilots proper procedures and good judgement ... eighty percentofaccidents [in thereal world] occur because of pilot error-poor judgement," he said. MSCD's AES department is pressed to keep up with the future demands in the aviation world. Studies conducted by the Denver Regional Council of Governments show a rapid growth in the aviation field in Colorado (obvious with the new airport being built), and the U.S. It is forecasted that

EDITORIAL Welcome back from the new staff at The Metropolitan Light rail If RTD builds it no one will come Todd Burgess Assistant Editor Just as logic wasn't on the side of the farmer who plowed down his cornfield in "Field of Dreams," logic is absent in RTD's decision to spend $67 million for a light rail system that will connect Auraria and Five Points. "If you build it, they will come" worked in Iowa, but it won't work in Denver. The problem with the light-rail plan is that it isn't needed. Light rail sounds futuristic and exciting, but it isn't necessary, especially when one considers that the MAC light rail trial project will cost more than $20 million per mile.

Hthe concern is that people need aquick way to get from Auraria to Five Points, RTD already has a solution, the bus. If the concern is that people need a quick way to get from Auraria to Five Points, RTD already has a solution, the bus. For50cents,$1 during peak hours, a person can board a 30 or 31 bus at Auraria; transfer onto a 32 or 38 and be to Five Points in minutes. If RTD is concerned that a straight route would be better.,..-here's a novel idea-they could add another bus route. The $67 million RTD has allotted to the MAC project could be used to strengthen existing bus services. RTD could add more routes in the Metro area and introduce routes to Colorado Springs, Greeley and Cheyenne. Furthermore, the frequency of buses could be increased, including offering more buses at night. A dream was the impetus behind the MAC project, just as a dream was behind the creation of the Iowa ball field. In Iowa there was a strong urge to move backward in time, to revisit the simple days of baseball and life. With MAC there is a desire to skyrocket into the future, to move toward the George Jetson era where everything will be accomplished with the push of a button. The reason the MAC is receiving so much support is that people want to get a feel for this fantasy future. They want tangible proof that a space age society can exist. Once they see this high tech creation, they'll get bored of it just as a child gets bored of a new toy. "If you build it, they'll come." Yeah, they'll come and try it once, then they'll shake their heads and ask, "Why did they build this?"

Cuts sever the jugular of education Lawrence E. Jones Editor A company will go bankrupt if its investments do not make a good return . The same goes for a government. Our government has made investments. Billions of dollars have been invested in military applications. Billions are invested in businesses and foreign relations. Billions are invested in our government representatives and those who are supposed to be the caretakers of the people. Where is the return? The one area that is con stantly under-invested in, and constantly cut short, is education. Education is the one investment that our country can make that will definitely show a return. Every individual who completes an education of college level has learned the skills to give something back to America. What will be the return on investments into business if no one gets the education to run that business? There are those who say the education system is good enough and that the programs in place are effective. Effective at what? Certainly not making sure that everyone has a chance for a good QUALITY education! The bare essentials are not enough to ensure our competiveness in the world arena. We need the best education for everyone that is humanly possible. How is this possible when the politicians target education, any education, for cuts because they messed up on

{

their state budget. Governor Romer may be cutting the budget across the board for higher education in Colorado. For MSCD this could mean a 5 percent cut in our budget this year. This situation has already resulted in a hiring freeze for the state and will mean that we the students will face larger and more crowded classrooms.

Education is a matter of life and death; for us, for our country and for our world. Of the $50 million dollar budget for MSCD, the state funds $30 million. Five percent of that could be cut. That is $1 .5 million dollars that will be taken away from our college. This will happen to colleges all across the state. Does this show a willingness of the government to invest in education?

Education is vital, not only to the world of business and politics, but to the world as a whole. The problems that the human community will face in the next century are staggering. There is the threat of permanent environmental damage from past and present indiscretions, the threat of human population expanding past the point of return , diseases that could threaten entire races, and other dangers that we can only imagine in the most frightening of science fiction books. The point is that all these obstacles are possible, and probable, realities and we need to educate our people to overcome them. Education is not a luxury. Education is not something that politicians should endorse halfheartedly. Education is not simply a necessity. Education is a matter of life and death; for us, for our country, and for our world.

OPINION -t

Atmosphere outweighs the hassle Sharon Dunn News Editor It's a good feeling to be a student at Metropolitan State College of Denver. It's a good feeling to walk down the paths of the campus and no longer have to fight oncoming traffic to get to the student union or walk through construction rubble to get to classes. The college now has some atmosphere. But, as with anything, we have to take the good with the bad. So overlook our somewhat competent "police force," good for hiding information from the public and scribbling their days away on parking tickets. Overlook the fact that our tuition is sometimes used to redecorate the president's office or that our student fees sometimes feeds student government. And, look the other way when some professors actually get to keep their jobs after student evaluations, or that some professors get disgusted with an inept system and quit. What matters, however, is the atmosphere. It's an atmosphere that gives students a little peace - one that actually fosters a learning environment. Because there are no dormitories or fraternal organizations to discriminate against "undesirable" people, students are actually given the opportunity to have a sanctuary, even in the midst of the hoopla of downtown Denver. Who would have thought 25 years ago, that building a college for the non-traditional student would largely

become the school of choice for traditional students? Metro is definitely coming into its own. We have everything we could ask for in a college and then some. Consider the student discounts on everything, exclusive rights to the library and student services, such as free legal advisement, free counseling and tutoring programs. We have a cheap health clinic, free reign of the athletic facilities, a huge shopping and people-watching mall just minutes from campus, and no signs touting "keep off of the grass" or "no skateboarding." Creative students can even express themselves with chalk on the sidewalks or display "bad art" in the Arts building. We have an environmental organization, campus television, a newspaper, clubs, activities, sports and a Christian fellowship group. We even get housing assistance. In fact, thinking about where that $1, 700 a year ends up after keeping itself warm in some little bank, there really aren't that many problems students must encounter to be a student at MSCD. Regardless, the inconvenience sometimes will never cease the students' amazement, but the ends justify the means. So, light the incense sticks anyway. Why not even light a candle or two? Turn up the music anyway, because you're living your second life at MSCD. No homesickness, no curfews. Just (mostly) friendly people of all ages, races and backgrounds to get acquainted with and learn from. Just good old, hometown American apple pie. But take a big slice, or someone else will.

FEATURES Petty's soul cracked 'Wide Open' with new album Jennifer Esquivel The Metropolitan

TIVOLI BREWERY 9th off Auraria Parkway

In the late '80s, Tom Petty lost his connection to rock 'n' roll. In his eyes, rock music was washed out. But he dug deep into his soul and burst back onto the scene with l\:~<>---------C/k\I his solo effort, Full Moon Fever. Now Petty has recaptured that edge with his band, the Heartbreakers, teaming them up with his solo producer, Jeff Lynne. The result is the brilliant Into The Great Wide ~.which will be backed by a tour kicking off right here in Denver on August 29th at Fiddler's Green. The album, Into The Great Wide Open, is reminiscent of Petty's solo sound. In fact, from the guitar riffs to the tone and inflection of Petty's vocals on "All The Wrong Reasons," this song could be the sequel to "Free Fallin' ." However, "All The Wrong Reasons" isn't as strong a track as "Free Fallin'." Throughout the song, tension is building to a crescendo but it never quite gets there and the song just tapers off at the end, leaving the listener wanting more. With a little more polish this cut would definitely stand out as excellent. It's a different story for the first single off Into the Great Wide Open, "Leaming to Fly." In just a few weeks, the single quickly found success on Billboard's rock charts

MYSTERY DATE

and reached number one. Almost sure to follow suit is the title track, "Into The Great Wide Open." "Into The Great Wide Open" is a loose, laid-back tune written by Tom Petty with Jeff Lynne. It tells the tale of a young, hopeful singer, fresh to Hollywood, and his arduous road to success in the music biz. The lyrics are backed by a relaxed rock melody accompanied by an occasional gui-

tar lick. "Into The Great Wide Open" is a great song that pulls the listener into its mood. It doesn'tjump off the vinyl, but seduces you with its mellow charm, much like the rest of the album. If you like Tom Petty's style or are simply an avid rock fan, this is a definite CD to add to your collection. So check it out before Petty hits the Green on Au,gust 29th! 0

Balloon bungee business booming Lawrence Jones Editor

;

In the early morning air above Boulder birds are stirring, crickets are settling down from their nightly chorus, and someone's scream of excitement is shattering the dawn. Jumping out of a hot air balloon suspended more than l 00 feet above the ground is considered suicidal by most, but to Charlie Bell, a MSCD senior, it has become a moneymaking business called Air Boulder. The bungee-cord jumping craze is a phenomenon that is spreading throughout the world. Daredevils began by leaping from bridges with an elastic cord strapped to their ankles. Now Bell has brought it to Colorado and made it available to anyone with good health and courage. "We eat egos for lunch," Bell said. Bell and his balloon pilot partner, Mark Grylicki, began with a lot of hot air and an idea: to combine hot-air ballooning and bungee jumping. "We were balloonists before we were bungee jumpers," Bell said. It took eight months for an idea to bloom into a business. Bell and Grylicki did intensive research and racked up some impressive phone bills, to ensure that everything went right. Bell designed the jumping "system" himself. The jumper is secured into a body harness which is connected to the bungee cords. The cords are secured to the basket of the hot-air balloon. The jumper steps onto a

platform more than a hundred feet in the air and then, if the mind and courage allow, leaps. It is a six minute ride that will last the rest of your life, according to Bell. Bell was the first to test jump from the balloon. First, however, they dropped weights from the balloon to test the rig before Bell trusted it with himself, or anyone else. Safety is a major concern, he said. "I couldn't Llura Gragg-Toma/The Metropc&n Jive with myself Charlie Bell, MSCD senior and owner of Air Boulder, escorts Dave if I was to hurt Talcott of Wheat Ridge to the balloon for his first jump. somebody," he said.

A jump with Air Boulder costs $85, with customers before they ever leave the ground. In the future Bell is hoping to make balloon a $10 discount for students.

FEATURES Woman strengthens bond with father after lengthy search Kathy Hovis The Metropolitan Finding a parent is never easy, but Deanna McGraw, an education major at MSCD. is happy she made the effort. "I was adopted when I was a day old. My parents were teen-agers. My dad went off to France in the Army, divorcing my mom when I was born," Deanna said. In February, Deanna decided to locate her dad. " I lucked out. My birth mother gave me his name, Martin Johnson, and the name of the town he was from. I called Ponca City, Oklahoma, but he wasn ' t listed. But there was an 'S. Johnson' and I remembered my dad having a brother named Sam, so I called and it was Sam," she said. Deanna left her name and phone number with Sam who passed the information on to her dad. " My dad called a couple of days later. When we talked, it was like we've known each other all our lives. Our personalities are very similar," she said. Deanna said she always felt close to nature and she felt this was a part of her connection to her father. "My dad is half

Cherokee. Native Americans have close relationships to nature. We believe in a sacred hoop-a circle of life which sometimes becomes broken because of pain," she said. She and her dad have similar interests. "I used to play first base in softball and so did my dad.... My dad was also a Mason [a Christian community service organization]. I belonged to the Rainbow Club, which is the girls organization ofthe messianic lodge," she said.

'It's the most wonderful thing that has happened to me ... Connect· ing with him has filled in a lot of questions.' Deanna first met her dad on June 7, 1991, and saw him again on the Fourth of July. "My dad is a kind and loving man. I've never felt this kind of love before except when my daughter was born. He overflows with love. My daughter calls him 'Daddy Chief'." Deanna calls her dad once a week, and writes a couple ofleners each week, and her dad does the same. "Friends ask me, 'What do you write about?' I tell them I write about

Deanna said that in her initial search, when she was 18, she went to Ponca City with her adoptive dad to find her "real" dad. When they found the house they thought he dad lived in, she decided she wa sn ' t ready. " I saw the hurt in my adoptive father's face, so I decided to wait," said Deanna.

SPORTS Ruckus comes to Tivoli Hoopers play for Adoption Exchange Chris Barker The Metropolitan

What do the Auraria Campus, Doug Moe, and 750 people have in common? Basketball, Roundball Ruckus style. The third annual Roundball Ruckus, a three-on-three tournament that benefits the Rocky Mountain Adoption Exchange, came to the Tivoli parking lot August 3 and 4. The tournament featured 48 divisions with players ranging from ages 8 to 70. Divisions were organized according to age, ability and height, with an entry fee of $70 for each team. Division winners received plaques and trophies and every player got free pizza and pop from sponsors Pizza Hut and Pepsi, as well as a Ruckus T-shirt. Other sponsors included The Denver Post, the Colorado Lottery, and Miller beer. Fonner Denver Nuggets coach Doug Moe was on hand for the tournament, but not playing on a team. "The toughest group is the over-forties; they're the meanest," he said. Moe, along with son and former Denver Nuggets assistant coach, Doug Jr., has been involved in the tournament each year, giving clinics and acting as a spokesman. The Ruckus has raised more than $40,000

in the last three years for the Adoption Exchange, according to Shelbi WilliamsPerry of the RMAE. The exchange matches children waiting for adoption with prospective families and provides parent support groups, adoption orientation and media features to make the process of adoption smoother and better for the children. Dan Cramer, who has run the tournament all three years, explained his decision to have the games at Auraria this year, as opposed to its previous location at Mile High Stadium. "We felt that Auraria Campus has started to become recognized across the state from other schools," he said, adding AHEC is "up and coming." The contest was postponed on Saturday Aug. 3 due to rain but the Ruckus took advantage of good weather Sunday to pack the whole tournament into one day. Games were shortened from 30 minutes to 15 to allow for the tight schedule. The Ruckus had recreational teams calling their own fouls, whereas competitive teams played with referees. Free throw shooting contests were also featured, as well as the always popular slam-dunk contest. Denver Mayor Wellington Webb, who participated in last year's tournament, was a no-show although he was signed up to play in the media division. 0

SPORTS From the cheap seats: a one-man peanut gallery

Wiii Hinton

Sports Editor

â&#x20AC;˘

Well sports fans, yet another fall semester is upon us and with it comes another exciting year of MSCD athletics. What is that you say? MSCD bas varsity athletics? I know it comes as a surprise to many of you, but yeah, we have teams with uniforms and a gym and everything. In case you didn't pick it up, the print you just read was bleeding of sarcasm. Allow me to elaborate. On campuses across the nation the phrase college athletics means excitement, student unity and school pride. At MSCD the phrase means about as much as a Spiro Agnew campaign slogan. At schools like CU and CSU, the students are Golden Buffs and Rams. At MSCD there are roughly 17 ,000 students, but only a few hundred Roadrunners, students who go out and support their student-athletes. Granted, the men' s basketball team with its meteoric rise to national prominence has gained somewhat of a loyal following. But, the other sports have followings equivalent to that of a B-movie actor with shingles. And that, my friends, is embarrassing. MSCD has a women's volleyball team that is currently ranked 20th in the nation, as well as baseball and soccer programs that, if not already among the nation 's elite, are on the verge of breaking through.

RESERVE

Take me out to the ball game, I guess Raise your hand if you knew that MSCD had men's and women's swimming and tennis programs. Well it does, and excellent ones at that. What makes the lack of support so sad and irritating is that these athletes are working their tails off to please those who refuse to support them. MSCD, as an NCAA Division II school, is not a breeding ground for professional franchises. The athletes are not here just to tune up their games before they sign million-dollar contracts. In fact, it would go against the norm if even four athletes signed a pro contract over a four-year period. So why are they playing? For a love of their sports and for their school. Sure, many are on scholarships, but ask any athlete and they'll tell you that no scholarship is worth the sweat and hours of practice if you don't like what you' re doing. As for the myth of the athletes being aloof and feeling they are "above" the rest of the students, it is a bunch of bunk. Off the court or field they are students just like the rest of us. Let me make a deal with you. I will write about college athletics and the Roadrunners, and nothing else. Stories on Danny Reeves and his merry band ofhoodlums, that YMCA pick-up squad that poses as an NBA franchise at Big Mac

and outrageous salaries will be left to the writers downtown. This deal is however a two-way proposition. You, the students, will have to go to the events so you know what I'm writing about. I realize that this is a commuter campus lacking dormitories and a great campus life, but varsity athletics are here to promote a tight-knit campus and student unity. A lot of students also work, naturally a priority over sports. But, anybody who saw an axe-wielding Jack Nicholson in The Shining knows what happens to a life of all work and no play. Look, the games are free with an MSCD student i.d. card so there is no monetary reason not to go. For those me-generation folks who find a free ticketisn 't incentive enough, the MSCD Athletic Department and AHEC bookstore are sponsoring a $500 Fan Appreciation Scholarship. The only eligibility requirements are being an MSCD student and going to at least five events. Entry cards can be picked up at the bookstore or on the Sept. 4 campus distribution day. If great athletes, free entry and scholarships aren't enough , then MSCD is in need of a new student body. A harsh and condemnatory view to be sure, but that is how I feel. You see, I am a Roadrunner. 0

OFFICERS' TRAINING

CORPS

It's that time of the year again, BACK TO SCHOOL! So, welcome and best of luck to all of you! During the next semester many of you will find that you may need to seek help or services ofone type or another. While Metro offers many different services, it can be very confusing to know exactly where to go for help for specific concerns. An available remedy to the confusion is the

Metro Connections Program. Weare students, faculty, and staff volunteers who have been nominated to the program as persons that are helpful and willing to listen and reach out to others. This program focuses on the naturally occurring network of helping interactions on campus and provides a medium to facilitate these interactions between students, faculty, and staff. Our goals are to provide outreach to anyone at Metro having personal concerns and to help in finding appropriate resources. We also provide training and educational opportunities to members of the Metro community to enhance their natural helping abilities and to work towards making MSCD a community where all of us make genuine connections with each other.

One avenue of help that we provide is this weekly "advice" or "voice your concerns" column.It is devoted to providing information, suggestions, and referrals for questions and opinions that you submit. It also allows others in the Metro community to voice their comments regarding various issues and concerns that may be occurring on campus. The responses provided in this column are given by the Metro Connections staff and counselors at the MSCD Counseling Center. We are committed to researching and answering the questions you have. This may mean finding the "right" person in the community and providing suggestions where to find an appropriate source of help andatothertimesweoffersuggestionsbased on the experience and training of our MSCD Counseling Center staff. Frequent concerns include time management, difficult relationship issues, family conflicts, academicmotivation issues, financial difficulties, dealing with difficult people, decision-making problems, stress reduction, and many others. Whatever yours may be, let us help.

Many found this column helpful last year. Knowing that there are people out there experiencing the same things we are (and are coping somehow!) is often helpful. Being able to say whatever we feel while remaining anonymous can be a very beneficial outlet. Also, it is comforting to get some distance from our problems by writing them down, sharing them, and gaining other perspectives.

Hyou would like to submit a question or a comment to this column, please drop it by the MSCD Counseling Center, located in CN 203. We DON'T publish names. If you would like a personal response, please include you name and phone number and we'll get back to you.

• Will Hinton Sports Editor It is safe to say that Head Women's Volleyball Coach Rhonda McMullen is more than a little excited about the upcoming 1991 season and its prospects. In fact, excited is an understatement. She is ecstatic. Maybe it's because McMullen has lO returning letter winners and five out of six starters are back this year. Or perhaps it's the fact that the Roadrunners finished the 1990 season as a toptwenty-five candidate and enter this fall with a preseason ranking of 20th in the NCAA Division II coaches poll.

Both are reasons for an upbeat outlook, but it is something else that has McMullen looking forward to this year more than last, her first as MSCD's head honcho. " This is our team," said a proud McMullen, refering to herself, Assistant Coach Verna Julaton and Student Assistant Alice Nickelson.

'I think this will be a banner year for us if we can come together as a team.' By "our team", McMullen means that the team is uniquely hers and her staffs, not an inherited entity as it was a year ago.

familiarity and direction. "Everyone knows what is expected of them now," she said. The 1991 Roadrunners are a team shaped and molded by the McMullen staff alone. It is Rhonda McMullen' s creation, her personalized signature on the volleyball constitution. McMullen is equally enthused when discussing how her team will fair on the court this season. As most coaches do, McMullen speaks of potential just waiting to be realized, but she confidently takes the cliche a step further. "I think this will be a banner year for us if we can come together as a team," she said.

Volleyball from page 20

"Playing as a team and not as individuals; that is the key." McMullen will take her team-first ideology on tour all across the nation this year. The squad will play from coast to coast in tournaments in Florida, Missouri and California in an attempt to build on the 'Runners' already impressive reputation. If teamwork is the key to what McMullen hopes will end in a top-ten, or even elite eight finish, then Darcie Inglee, Dana Stright and Jennifer Drees are the key holders. Inglee, a 5-foot-9 senior middle blocker, is a four-year starter for the 'Runners, a rarity in major college athletics. She was a co-captain for the squad last year and was selected to the All-Colorado Athletic Conference second team. According to McMullen, Inglee's leadership and enthusiasm on the court are as important as her remarkable volleyball skills. "She will be one of the premier players in the CAC this year," McMullen said of her preseason All-American candidate. Stright could be called the Jose Canseco of the Roadrunners because when the team looks for its power game, it usually starts with the 5-foot-8 outside hitter. A sophomore in 1990, Stright blasted her way to a second-team All-CAC selection. While Ingle and Stright rule the play at the net, it is senior Drees who runs the show. The 5-foot-9 setter is probably the most important player on the court according to McMullen, "since she touches the ball more than anyone else." "She's my quarterback," said McMullen of last years honorable mention All-CAC performer. "She runs the offense and calls

all the plays." Also starting for the Roadrunners this year will be last season's most pleasant surprise, middle blocker Diane Dibble. After seeing limited playing time as a freshman, the 6-footjunior-to-be broke into the starting lineup last year and never left. The top candidate to replace outside hitter Chris Hines, a first-team Ail-CAC performer last year and the 'Runners' only starter lost to graduation, is Fresno Pacific transfer Debbie Guck. Though only 5-foot6, the junior still plays above the net thanks to an incredible 32-inch vertical leap. As for the right outside hitter position, juniors Marlo Smith and Kirn Dressel will battle with sophomore Noel Braunschweiger for the final starting position. All three started at one time last season and, according to McMullen, the position is anyone's to win. "We'll have to see who emerges as the top power player," she said. Redshi.rt players who will play an important role are junior Lorna Dubois, a jack-ofall-trades who may be the best all-around player on the team, and freshman Gypsy Hoover, a great athlete who, according to McMullen, "just needs playing time" to reach her potential. Filling out the roster will be sophomore Natalie Dittmer and freshmen Tami Barnett, Jenny McGuire, and Katie Horvat. Of this group it is Horvat who is most appealing since she is, in the words of McMullen, "a defensive specialist with impeccable skills," a type of specialist lacking on the 1990 team. Junior college transfer Christine Cox and freshman walk-on Crissy Canada are players of the future, but they will redshi.rt this year until they get a better grasp of the
