The Denver Fire Department was called to Auraria Campus Wednesday after an ether experiment in Science Building Room 330 went awry. A tube of ether was accidentally hooked into the wrong valve allowing ether to seep into the building's ventilation system. There were no injuries reported·and the building was declared safe after firefighters arrived.

Prospective graduates at MSCD are facing a new requirement this fall - a $20 graduation fee. Previously, this fee was $3. Students planning to graduate this semester must pay the fee by Oct. 4, said Debby Protsman, a graduation evaluator for MSCD. O~er students must pay the fee during the semester they plan to graduate, she said . Student reactions to the new fee were negative. "This school nickels and dimes you to death," said Tonya Garris, a senior at MSCD. However, she is relieved to see only a $20 fee. "Other schools have graduation fees as high as $100," she said. "I think I pay this school enough in order to graduate," said Carol Roll, also an MSCD student. "I do not want to pay them more." Letters explaining the new policy along with graduation application cards were sent last week to this semester's prospective graduates by MSCD 's Office of Admissions and Records. The graduation application cards will be validated when the fee is paid. Students can mail the fee to the college or drop it by the Office of Admissions and Records. "The money will not go in to school accounts," said Protsman. It is used for diploma printing costs, mailing costs and the graduation ceremony. "Maybe now I will go to the graduation ceremony since I am paying for it," Roll said.

Individual actions, not government regulations, must eliminate "hate speech" and racist and sexist remarks, an American Civil Liberties Union representative said Sept. 18 to students and faculty. · "If someone said. 'nigger' in my houSe, I'd throw him out,:' said James !oy, executive director of the Colorado ACLU, during a speech at St. Cajetan'sCenter. "But I would not ever allow the government to tell me or you what can be said or heard no matter how offensive the expression may be." Joy said that he has spent his

adult life fighting discrimination _ and prejudice. Though we have a responsibility and an obligation to resist government control of any sort, he said, this alone· is not enough to stop hate speech. We must not keep the cycle going by repeating the hate that we hear, Joy said. He explained that words reinforce our behaviors. "You have an obligation to go to the next, much more difficult step, and take the responsibility yourself to stop hate speech by speaking out against racist, sexist and other hate remarks," he said. "Nothing will stop hate speech until the individual decides that we have had enough of that kind of talk. We must speak

out affirmatively every time we hear 'hate speech.' When that happens, we will have taken a big step toward becoming a freer society." He answered questions on political correctness, a contemporary issue that has assailed campuses across the nation. Political correctness dictates what is proper terminology for race and gender.

Printing teacher rat.ings debated Suzanne Hardy The Metropolitan

Vander Horst

Vander Horst steps down The tumultuous relationship between the top two student leaders at MSCD officially ended Sept. 24. According to Angie Binder, a staff assistant for student government, the on-again, off-again Vice President Anthony Vander Horst came into their office and said, "F--you, I resign." Vander Horst said earlier he would resign, but only upon receiving his September paycheck. Otherwise, be said in an interview last week, he would take legal action against MSCD, not settling fo,r less than $20,000. President Chip Wiman has refused to sign Vander Horst's time card, blocking bis pay. However, Vander Horst did receive his August pay after intervention from Yolanda Ericksen, assistant dean of Student Life. Ericksen then set criteria for all paid student government members before they could receive their pay. Ericksen said Vander Horst was not paid because he did not submit his office hours to her. · Vander Horst said he would represent the students without "hiding behind an office." Wiman said Vander Horst worked on his "own agenda" rather than issues that MSCD students thought were important. 0

When Metro studentTermaineArcbuleta emolled in an economics class, she dido 't know the instructor would be lecturing right from the book. "I wish I would've known, with that professor, what I was getting into," she said. IfArchuleta had been able to see Metro's faculty evaluations, would she have used them? "Definitely." The question of whether to publish faculty evaluations is hotly debated. The issue has again come to the attention of Metro students, with student government President Chip Wiman handing the decision down to the Senate, which will vote on the

proposal at its next regular meeJing. Wiman said the executive cabinet could not make a decision on publishing the evaluations because they did not have enough information to verify thl\t publishing would be discriminatory toward minorities and women, as some of the proposal's adversaries have charged. Under the proposal, surveys would be filled out by students separately from the official evaluations, and would not be used in considering faculty tenure, promotions or retention. Christina Massey, a Metro student, said students had the right to see how faculty did on evaluations. Some critics of the proposal fear that publication would place professors in a popularity contest among the students. "If they were published that way, obvi-

ously, students are going to go with teachers that have nicer personalities," Sean Ellis, a Metro student, said. "It would be horribly biased that way. I've had good teachers who I've loathed, but I mean, they taught me the stuff. '1 just feel that if they had the evaluations public, those (good) teachers would get booted off because no one would ever take them. "It's our right to know if they're going to teach.us the way we want them to teach. "You 're paying for the education and their services," she said. "You can find out which teachers will meet your need." Massey said knowing a professor's style would be beneficial in choosing classes. Wiman said that after polling students recently, he found that publishing faculty evaluations was not a "top 10 issue," and that see Evaluations page 4

Campus lounges get long-awaited face-lift Riki Doherty The Metropolitan Once again, construction is under way on the Auraria Campus, but this time students will reap the benefits through newly remodeled student lounges. "The lounges were due for some changes," said Kelli Baldree, chair of the Food Service Advisory Committee, a subcommittee of the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board. "They needed to' be done, and now." The lounges are expected to be completed by Oct. 15. An attempt was ·made to complete the

lounge renovations during the summer before the bulk of the student body returned for fall classes, but facilities management bad too big of a backlog to get to the lounges, according to architect Bob Kronwitter. Striving to enhance the lounges' image, by making each one different, made the task more difficult as well, he said. Construction is still going on, but the workers are trying to avoid high traffic times for the lounges. Most of the lounges haven't been closed, just sectioned off while the workers were in there, Baldree said. see Lounges page 4

The parking situation at Auraria is still blowing some fuses with students, but the Auraria Higher Education Center is not ready to rewire the circuit. Mark Gallagher, director of parking at AHEC, visited the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board Sept. 20 to assure the students that the continued crowded parking at Auraria is not related to the elimination of the parking decals. "You're going to have parking problems even with decals," Gallagher told the group. Gallagher said that downtown workers haven't been causing the parking squeeze. Gallagher blamed the problem on enrollment increases for each of the three colleges at Auraria and the discontinued shuttle ser' vice from Mile High Stadium. Lot R, the closest lot to downtown, bas been requiring a campus ID since the semester began, with the lot attendants turning away about one or two cars a day. Ifnon-campus parkers do become a problem, campus ID's will be required throug~ out the lots. • 0

A campus recycling volunteer bas launched a campaign criticizing campus newspapers for wasting paper. Paul Olsen, 25, a campus environmental activist, is charging that The Metropolitan and the Advocate are printing between 2,000 to 3,000 excess newspapers each week to make circulation appear higher. In a flyer that Olsen is giving to students around campus , he alleges the newspapers are removing their papers each week from their distribution bins and throwing them away. He also cited a Metropolitan employee's uncooperative attitude toward his initial concerns as the driving force behind his charges. "I want to make it perfectly clear, the girl sitting behind the desk is responsible for what I am doing," Olsen said, referring to The Metropolitan's receptionist. "Without a doubt, she is the most rude and unyielding ... I've ever met." Claiming he was working for the Colorado Public Interest Research Group, an environmental, consumer-advocate group on campus, Olsen walked into The Metropolitan in June and demanded the paper cut down its distribution levels, said Kate Lutrey, director of Student Publications at MSCD. Olsenreportedly did the same at the Advocate. Since then Olsen has come into the publication's office,Student

STUDENT ADVISORY COlt!fMITTEE TO THE AURARIA BOARD OF DIRECTORS (SA CAB) Welcome back all new and continuing students for the 1991-92 school year! Funded through the assessment of student fees, SACAB is a committee comprised of six students, two from each of the three student bodies on the Auraria Campus. SACAB's purpose and role is to represent the opinions and interests of the students of the Community College of Denver, Metropolitan State College of Denver and the University of Colorado at Denver to the Auraria Board of Directors on matters pertaining to the Auraria Higher Education Center and all bond funded programs. In order to represent the student, one member of SACAB serves as a non-voting member of the Auraria Board. The report from the SACAB member is part of the Board meeting agenda, and during that report, the SACAB member represents the interests of students from all three institutions. The $35.50 paid by each student is broken down in the following manner: ***$13.50 per student/per semester is used to finance the operations of the new PE/Events Center. ***$22.00 per student/per semester is used to finance the operations of the Student Union (Tivoli Acquisition), dispersed vending lounges and food service areas, Child Care Center, and the Book Center.

Some major issues of SACAB this school year are the acquisition of the Tivoli as the new Student Union, campus child care, campus food service, and campus recycling. SACAB highly encourages student participation and has weekly meetings Fridays at 3:00 p.m. in the Auraria Student Union. For more information, please stop by the SACAB office in room 220C of the Student Union (in game room) or call your representative at 556-4589. Your representatives are:

The MSCD chapter of the Colorado Public Interest Research Group will be holding a petition drive today, partofits National Campaign Against Toxics. The petition urges Sen. Hank Brown, R-Colo., to support amendments to the Clean Water and Resource Conservation and Recovery Acts. Essentially, these amendments would address the illegal dumping of toxics, increase citizens' rights to kno:w about toxics use and develop a program for toxic use reduction.

The problems of 3 million homeless and the effects of toxic waste brought 69 MSCD students to the CoPIRG Action Meeting Sept. 16. "The urgency of these issues is the primary motivation to get us together," said Rich McClintock, executive director of CoPIRG. McClintock, who has been with the group for nine years, said PIRG is the largest domestic student organization in the world. At the end of the meeting, students had the option to sign up withCoPIRG. " Just about everyone stayed (to sign up)," said Kelly Wark, CoPIRG's campus organizer. Ajayi Harris, a first-year student at MSCD and project coordinator for the group's campaign against toxins, spoke to students about the goals of CoPIRG. "With the Reauthorization Act in Congress this year, we are pushing for stricter mandates on toxic chemicals," Harris said. "We want to make companies publicly report toxic use." U.S. industry produces two tons of toxic chemicals per c_itizen each year, Harris said, and finding toxic waste sites

Nightrider van limited to campus lots Chris Caylor The Metropolitan .. It is a cold, snowy night and you 're parked in an off-campus lot. The Nightrider van service is available, but you can't get a ride - you must be a paying customer. According to the Auraria Parking and Transportation Office, the Nightrider van is not allowed to leave the campus boundaries for two reasons: because ~e program is designed to serve people who pay for campus parking and for insurance liabilities. The Nightrider service is free and available to give students rides to their cars after hours. The service closes at 10:30 p.m., most nights.

"First of all, our resources are limited," said Connie Besser, a supervisor for Parking and Transportation. "We only have one van. The service is geared toward people who pay for on-campus parking. I feel it's important to stress that no student fees go to parking. We have to create our own revenues." The Nightrider is funded through student parking fees. Besser added that the Nightrider also must give priority to handicapped students who use the serviCe to get to and from classes. Dispatcher Greg Ernst said that to give rides to students who don't pay for on-campus parking would be " ripping off those people who are paying for parking." Student government President Chip Wiman said that be used1to ride the service

but be was "kicked off" the program because he didn't park in a campus lot." I still park where I used to,'' he said. " I can't afford $10 a week for campus parking." "When the time change comes and the weather starts getting colder, .. .I expect that we will become even busier," Besser said. "We want to offer the service to people who pay for on-campus parking, since they are the ones basically paying for the service." If students need an escort after closing time or if the van is busy, they can call Auraria Public Safety. Dispatch Supervisor Vicki Schonscbek said a public S_afety officer will sometimes drive a student or faculty member to their car, or they may walk the person to the vehicle. 0

SACAB member encourages new bus-fare plan Antoinette Vecchio The Metropolitan The Student Union move, a child care referendum and other issues have forced a plan for students to receive RTD bus passes as part of a student fee increase to the back burner of the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board's agenda. Michael Newlon, chair of SACAB, said he has been trying to gain support for a referendum that would raise student fees $10-15 to allow Auraria students to ride RTD buses each semester. "As oflast week, I decided I'm not going to make it an issue," he said about the pro-

gram. Newlon said he did not get enough student support for his proposal which has made work on the project difficult. "I need to get students to work on the project," he said. "I need volunteers to do some general :.vork." A survey of Auraria students needs to be done to determine how much should be spent, which schools want to participate and ifparttirpe students will be included, Newlon said. It is not known how many of the more than 32,000 Auraria students use RTD, but for September, Auraria students purchased 1,079 bus passes through the ticket booth in the Student Union. David Caldwell, recreation services man-

ager, said that although the amount of passes sold is minimal compared to the number of students on campus, sales have improved consistently every semester. "This is the best month we've had since I've been here," Caldwell said, who has had the job for more than a year. Students can purchase monthly local bus passes for $23 and express bus passes for

$39. Newlon said he hopes students who are interested in the bus-pass program will volunteer their time to work on the referendum. "I am completely in favor of a bus-pass program," he said, "but we have the Tivoli ... and need to do what the students voted for." 0

Push for political correctness leaves many feeling shoved Racism from page 1

Charles Angeletti, an MSCD history professor, ~aid that workshops for political correctness are being held on campuses across "' the country. Attendance at a workshop could ,. : mean legal liability for teachers and others who, after attending, continued using politically 'incorrect' terms for race and gender, he said. Another history professor, Dolph Grundman, said he wants to preserve the right to lively discussion in the classroom without students or faculty having to fear classmates will take legal measures if someone utters an incorrect term for race or gender.

"Education is the search for truth," Grundman said. 'The classroom needs to be a safe place to present evidence and counterevidence." Steve Wall, an MSCD senior, opposes political correctness. "lt gets confusing," he said. The terms for the different races change from time to time, he said. "Is there a way that we will know what the correct terminology will be?" Eugene Anderson, a junior at MSCD said: "We can't be too sensitive. Whether someone calls me a black-man, Afro-American, or African-American doesn ' t matter to me." The political correqness issue is a waste of time, and makes trouble between the races, he said. The real issue to him is respect, he said. 0

The Del Castillo brothers were last seen on a campus together in 1964, at Kapaun Memorial High School in Wichita, Kan. Today, the three brothers are back together again;- sitting in the grass at historic 9th Street Park, telling tales of their youth, and remembering what it was that brought them to the same campus after 27 years. And they are recal~ing how alcoholism, drug abuse and ethnic discrimination were just a few of the social obstacles they had to tackle before they could come full circle-from roaming the halls of their Jesuit high school in Wichita to strolling the sidewalks of the Auraria Campus in Denver. Steve: 44, is a professor at the Graduate School of Public Affairs at the University of Colorado at Denver. Javier, 43, is a senior at MSCD, planning to graduate in May of next year. Ramon, 42, is both an adjunct faculty member at MSCD in the sociology department and a student at the Graduate School of Public Affairs at UCD. Being close in age, the brothers have shared a special bond since childhood. " When we were kids, (my mom) dressed us alike. They used to call us Louie, Huey, and Dewey. So we werethreepatos," Ramon

THEMETROPOLITAN

September 27, 1991

PEOPLE Gail Spenc;:er The Metropolitan Professor and associate vice president for outreach at MSCD expected to complete his major study of Chicano administrators in higher education in the Southwest by August 15. Then came an untimely bout with chicken pox that landed him in the hospital. Recovered and undaunted, Antonio Esquibel, the 48-year-old Denver Hispanic community leader and former MSCD vice president for·Student Affairs will have presented his initial conclusions September 22 in San Juan, Puerto Rico at a conference of the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities. "I've got the best list in the country now," Esquibel said. "I think I'll be much more accurate this time than last time." The eight-month study is an update on Esquibel' s doctoral dissertation for the University of New Mexico where he earned a doctorate in educational administration in 1977. . "The original study was to determine factors by which administrators were hired," Esquibel said. Conclusions are being drawn from 992 respondents, compared to 439 respondents

comm~ty

in his initial study. The population study includes all Chicano administrators in two-and four-year institutions who are at or above the level of department chair. Subjects were identified through catalogs and surveys of institution presidents. Analysis of 198 variablt:s in Esquibel's questionnaire will determine the social origins and professional training of Chicano administrators in colleges and universities in the five Southwestern states of Arizona, California, Colorado, New Mexico and Texas. Also determined will be the influence of education, territorial mobility, parent's occupation and the influence of situational factors identified by respondents on their administrative level. In a preliminary discussion of his finding with The Metropolitan, Esquibel said that interesting results are unfolding out of his 640 logged entries that account for 65 percent of the response total. Among the findings are that the average age is 44, compared to age 38 in 1977; that one-third of administrators hold doctorates; and that Chicana (female) administrators account for 28 percent of the total, compared to 11 percent when he initiated the study 15 years ago. In Colorado this number is higher, with Chicana administrators accounting for 40 percent of the total.Esquibel said there also appears to be less mobility between institutions than

I am a 25 year old lady who is engagedtoadecent23yearoldguy. He treats me great and likes my daughter. The problem is that while I love him, I'm not "in love" with him. I agreed to marry him because he is nice and I know that hell never hurt me. I don't know what I should do now. I've asked him not to live with me to give me space. I'm just really confused because I don't want to hurt him but I know that will probably happen.

Esquibel found during his initial study. " It appears Hispanics are less willing to move than they were before," Esquibel said. "The last time it was a factor - people were more willing to move." Today, however, Esquibel said it appears administrators are more ihterested and may have more opportunities to make contributions to their own states. Esquibel said he is also finding that the term Chicano, ratherthan Hispanic, MexicanAmerican or Latino, is the term preferred by administrators. The final report should be published in December by the Western Interstate Commission of Higher Education. 0

Confused

What started out to be a very good friendship has evolved into an intimate· one with a different set of expectations, particularly a different level of commitment. It seems that, initially, you may have had an interest in developing a more intimate relationship and you took the risk of pursuing that avenue. Without taking that risk, you would not have created the opportunity to learn the things you have about yourself, your partner, and your relationship and you could be at the other end, wondering what it might be like to be more involved with him. At this phase, it is important to openly and honestly communicate with each about your expectations, feelings, and desires as well as what you have and are continuting to learn about yourselves. It has been my experience that, in the long run, what we don't say often hurts more than what we do say.

If you find that it is difficult to communicate these things with each other, you may try making separate lists of what you like and don't like; what you want and don't want; and what you are feeling and why. Writing these down can help you both identify your specific issues and concerns and can help you keep on track when you are discussing them. If you find this approach difficult as well, consider talking to a counselor, with or without your partner, to help you sort things out. Your confusion and mixed feelings are a result of the new information that you have gained and by using the tool of communication, you can reduce these negative feelings and work towards a a resolution to your current dilemma.

For more than 60 years, St. Elizabeth's . Church on Auraria Campus has given food to those in need-one of whom is an MSCD student. The student, who did not want to be identified, is a senior and has been attending MSCD for four years. The student receives grants and loans - but it isn't enough. "I'm on financial aid and I'm here to eat," he said. With 17 credit hours a semester, the student said it's hard to find time to work. Financial aid, he said, pays only the rent and utilities. He lives in the Capitol Hill section of Denver and walks to school. "My Camaro went to my junior year," he said. With $3,000 a semester from financial aid, the student said there is only enough money for tuition and living expenses "I can' t affotd to buy books," he said, "I go to the library or borrow the books from teachers." The 44-years-old student was once a regional marketing manager for a publishing company making $45,000 a year with a $2,000-a-week expense account, a company car and $200 lunches.

The needy get a tree meal at St. Elizabeth's, north of the Central Classroom. • The turning point for him came in 1986 when he said a career in business was unsatisfying. Shortly after, he enrolled at MSCD. "I was looking for a little more meaning, and a little less money," he said. Twenty-six years ago he attended Colum bia University. Working as a groundskeeper he made $5.63 an hour and received free credits. "You can't get that here," he srud.

Uncertain about the future and unsure about goals, he said the road has been worth traveling. "It's the journey that matters, not the goal to be reached," tie said.

Stop beating dead horses Student government needs to stop talking and start working Lawrence Jones Editor

Fools rush in where angels fear to tread. A famous saying that tells a whole story in just a few simple words. It warns us not to walk over the same old paths. It tells us to watch for the traps and pitfalls that have caught others so that we may avoid them in the future. It tells us not to repeat history and do the same thing over and over again. Those who work for the students on this campus need to take heed to this sage advice. Our student gBvernment should be commended, however. Chip Wiman, MSCD student president, has managed to get a campus-wide recycling program going. A definite accomplishment. Ex-

Vice President Anthony VanderHorst must be commended for his steadfast stand on the constitution. We all need to be reminded at times that due process is what having a constitution is all about. The student senate should also be commended for meeting quorum this year long before the old administration did the previous year. Unfortunately, these acts are not enough to serve the students. We need more than a recycling program, more than constitutional chatter and more than debate on important issues with the student senate. We need action.

should no longer sit on their apathetic behinds and simply "watch" the inaction of anyone involved in taking care of student interests. Certainly, student government is not alone in this epidemic of inaction. This school has a plethora of committees to handle business . More than 8,000 of them for Metro alone. Someone once said that the best way to make sure nothing is done is to form a committee . This seems especially true here on the / campus. There is the Faculty Senate, SACAB, FAC and many other alphabet soup committees who should be taking care of the students. There are many important issues facing students on this campus every day.

Community needs student involvement I am always urging students to get involved in something. But, getting involved requires much more than words. Deciding that you want to get involved takes time, effort, and dedication. How much time, effort and dedication you put in will determine what you get out of the experience. Every one of us has the opportunity to find something to get involved with. As a student, you can join a club, go hear a guest speaker, join Student Government, or just become active in your educational process. As a member of the community you can vote, you can teach someone to read , you can volunteer at a homeless shelter, or you can take time out of your day to help a child with their education. The list of ways that you can get involved is endless. The most difficult part of doing something for someone else, is not deciding what to do, but rather to DO it. The experience that you will gain from getting involved is invaluable - in fact, it might even change your life. So instead of watching that re-run, decide to make a difference in someone else's life as well as your own. As a non-traditional student and ex-corporate manager, I decided to quit judging myself by the amount of money that I made, but rather by what changes I could make in the world. I urge you to question the traditional American values and to step away from the mold of being successful because the world does not need more successful people in terms of material comfort, but needs more friends, lovers, teachers, and people that are willing to take actions. I also urge you to consider that we no longer need graduates from college whose only goal is to buy a new home and a new car, but that we need graduates who seek success and comfort in the "higher" sense. Chip Wiman MSCD Student Government President

OPINION Childish acts are unwanted Kim Brown Features Editor

I have some "kids" in one of my classes who make going to that class unpleasant. It seems that these "kids" have the attitude that people over 25 should be shot. I cringe at the thought of having to work with those bad attitude "kids" out there in the real world. A day in class with them brings me back to the horrors of high school, where if you weren't friends with one of these "ultra-cool know-it-alls," you were dirt! Gimme a break! These "kids" sit back during class and make wisecracks at anyone else who speaks, asks questions, or strikes a debate about a certain issue. Their petty, insolent remarks can be heard throughout the class!

Real cool, right? My question is, how does one deal with such disrespectful prattle? Do we play their game and sneer them off? Tempting, but it really serves no purpose to resort to that low level of intelligence. Do we tell the teacher? (Sounds like grade scho?I tattle-taling). We could, but I'm not sure these "toocool-for-schoolers" care what the teacher thinks! It's from the "C's-get-degrees" school of apathy. Do we shoot people under 25 who think that peopl~ over 25 should be shot? A little too Machiavellian fdr the '90s. It's distracting for those of us who want to get something out of a class besides name calling. Our mommies are not paying for our educations! I guess the best way to cope is to shut these types out of your mind and let them exercise their right to be stupid. Hopefully, they'll grow out of it one day. I mean they have to. Guess what guys, you'll be 25 or 30 onJ day, right in there with the average age of the serious students on this campus!

LETTERS American funding of 'Salvadoran murderers' must stop

THE METROPOLITAN

Editor, On her arrival home from work, an El Salvadoran peasant woman opens the door to find her three children, her mother and sister sitting around the kitchen table, each person's decapitated head is placed very neatly in front of the body, the hands arranged on top "as if each body was stroking it's own head." Because the head of the eighteen month old baby would not stay in place, the murderers from the U.S. trained Salvadoran National Guard, nailed the hands onto the little head. In the center of the table, like a fine decoration was a bowl full of blood. This is just one of the thousands of murders funded and supported by the U.S. taxpayer. The death squads are trained at (among other places) the School of Americas in Fort Benning, Georgia. A professor at the U.S. Army school described the Salvadoran graduates as " ... particularly ferocious ... we've always had a hard time getting them to take prisoners, instead of ears.• The Bush Administration continues in its attemptto cover up linkage from the death squads to the fact that U.S. advisors have direct control over their activities. The Bush administration tried to silence Salvadoran Army deserter Cesar Vielman Joya Martinez as he informed Washington Congressional Aides about

his participation "in torture and murder operations conducted by the special forces group GC-2 of the Salvadoran Army's First Brigade, with the certain knowledge of its U.S. advisors." Martinez claimed that his orders were "issued by the Salvadoran Joint Chiefs of Staff and sentto the U.S. advisors and commanders of the Brigade" and that he had seen orders "for seventy two executions from April through July and had taken part in eight of these death squad murders.n Originally the Bush Administration said it would look into Martinez's claims, but instead proceeded to attemptto ship him back to certain death in El Salvador. Because of the courage of the people of El Salvador and their absolute dedication to the ideals of freedom , they will eventually win, over the terror and violence rained down on them by the ARENA government, and the U.S. Albert Camus said, "It is the job of thinking people not to be on the side of the executioners." Let us be on the side of the paople of El Salvador. Stop the death squads, stop the horror, stop all aid to El Salvador. Thomas C. Mestnick, MSCD student

'Dementia Breweria' threatens the students' health Editor, Dementia Breweria: A mentally crippling, deviant psychological disorder most often afflicting bureaucratic administrators and marked by the patient's self-delusional attempts to justify his/her own self-serving and extraordinarily impractical proposals by claiming that the rest of us are just too darn stupid to know what'sgood for us. As one of the part-time, "non-traditional" students whose b~st interests MSCD Pres. Dr. Thomas Brewer claims to have in mind with his proposal to subsidize lower tuition for me, by increasing full-time tuition (Met, 9/20), you'd think I'd be overjoyed. I'm not. Brewer's insupportable assertion that generally older, more economically established P.T. students require more financial aid, displays a monumental degree of ignorance on his part. It's a proposal entirely lacking in common sense. I'll draw a diagram for those suffering Dementia Breweria (a raging epidemic among MSCD administrators, surpassed only by Gluteus Smoocheria): The "non-tradi,

tional" student Brewer identifies, chooses his/her employment over a full-time curriculum. The full-ti me student (whether traditional or non-traditional) sacrifices income to maintain this time-consuming schedule. I know. It's tough to follow. But please, bear with me. Therefore, the "non-traditional" student is much better able to absorb increased tuition than is the fulltime student. Whew! (I knew that Macroeconomics course would come into its own some day). I don't pretend to comprehend Mrs. Brewer's little boy Tommie's convoluted and self-serving agenda on this issue. But the obvious beckons: Why not lower fulltime tuition allowing those truly unable to AFFORD a full schedule to take more classes? Seems to me that'd put just as bright a polish on Brewer's MSCD steppingstone as his current inane proposal, and it'd make sense too. Nah, never happen here.

The Jacksons have been written about in books more than any other music celebrities in the past two decades. Aside from hearsay, none of the authors was able to find anything substantial against the family . Until now. LaToya: Growing Up in the Jackson F amity is the first book published from someone inside the iron gates surrounding the Jackson estate that tarnishes the image of the wholesome family the world bas come to adore. Aside from a few inside family secrets and favorite childhood stories, books written by Michael Jackson and his mother, Katherine, did little to stray from the image embedded in the minds of their fans. LaToya's book, however, is one her family fervently fought to keep from the public. According to her book, LaToya and her siblings spent life in constant fear of their father, Joseph Jackson, who managed his sons into superstardom while they were still in grade school. She admits that even for the smallest of common childhood mistakes, a severe beating was not far away. Bruises and belt marks were scars all nine of the Jackson children saw frequently.

On more than one occasion, LaToya alleges, Mr. Jackson would amuse himself by putting a shotgun to the heads of his offspring and pulling the trigger. Although the guns weren't loaded, the mental anguish the Jackson children sustained caused irreparable damage. Mr. Jackson's wrath was often unexplainable and never understandable. In her book, LaToya voices concern for siblings, none of whom will publicly admit their abuse, and cites her mother for standing by sheepishly as her husband lashed out at their children. The beatings, however, were far from the worst of the abuse. Verbal abuse belittling his sons and daughters spouted from Mr. Jackson's lips endlessly. And in interviews since the release of her book, LaToya admitted that she and her older sister, Rebbie, were both sexually abused by Mr. Jackson. LaToya also alleges that because of the abuse she and her siblings sustained, several have attempted suicide. LaToya freed herself from the Jackson chains when she was in her early 30s, but says that the terror is not behind her. She claims that on several occasions her parents plotted kidnap attempts to bring her back home. She says that she was forced to marry her manager, Jack Gordon, to protect herself from her own father and mother. Mr. Jackson's image isn't the only one to suffer in the book. LaToya portrays her siblings, (except for Michael, who is the .only one to escape her venomous pen) most notably Jermaine, as jealous, backstabbing and bitter toward Michael, whose success casts a long shadow over the rest of his family.

.....

Because it is so widely known that several of the Jacksons have failed at their individual attempts to achieve stardom on their own, LaToya's motives in writing her book have been questioned. Bryant Gumbel, on the Today Show (Sept. 10, 1991) asked LaToya if writing this book was a desperate grasp at fame, which the rest of her family achieved through talent and hard work. She quickly responded that her book serves only one purpose-to set an example for all abused children and let them know that it's okay to talk about it. If this was her mission, it appears to be clouded over and often lost behind vignettes about the days of The Jackson Five and numerous pages devoted to stories about the most famous Jackson, Michael. Although LaToya: Growing Up in the Jackson Famity is about the most celebrated family in music today, hopefully it will fade from the limelight quickly, leaving the public to consider what really matters about the 0 Jacksons, their music.

THE METROPOLITAN

Overcoming addiction was triumph for one of the Del Castillo brothers Brothers from page 8 for eight years, Javier followed his brothers to Colorado in 1980. "I was close to hitting the bottom of my addiction," Javier says. "I was go~ng through a lot of paranoia and anxiety and hallucinations." Ramon interrupts, "I think it was PTSD-Post Traumatic Stress Disorder-a war related trauma." Javier continues, "War related in the sense of not only Vietnam, but also in the streets." But after a few years in Denver, things started looking up for Javier. "I made a commitmenf to God," he says. With Ramon's assistance, he got a job in a mental health center, then went on to do training in a drug program. That lead him to the decision to attend school at MSCD. He is now a full-time student, majoring in human services with an emphasis in addiction. What could~ termed "sibling rivalry" in some families has turned out to be the key to success for these men. Each time one of the brothers has enjoyed a new success, it has pushed another one to work harder and, in tum, achieve his own accomplishment. When they meet on campus, they greet with a familiar hug. "Abrazo," Ramon explains, using the Spanish word for embrace, "is sort of a way of greeting culturally." Steve, who has been teaching for 15 years, the last two at UCD, also does consulting in education, public policy and 'cross-cultural communication. He is the president of the Hispanic League, and does research, primarily in minority communities, on leadership, education and economic development. As a division director of Speciat Population Services for the Mental Health Corporation of Denver, Ramon oversees programs for psychiatric services. He also does consulting on cultural diversity and mental health programming throughout the state. Ramon has worked in both the treatment and the administrative ends ofhis job in the substance abuse and mental health fields . "It was a path that was lead for me," Ramon says. "One of the reasons I did get in...was becauselcould speak Spanish. They needed somebody who could communicate with the clients." Ramon also is a published poet of "bicultural" poems.

Javier works for Denver Partners as a counselor and a coordinator for the Adams County Project. "We match volunteers with at.risk youth, among other things," he says. Like all brothers, the Del Castillo's have some differences in opinion. "I'm a Chicano," says Ramon. "I feel comfortable either with Chicano or Hispanic," says Steve. "I say I'm Mexican," says Javier, who explains, "I kind of struggle with the Hispanic term, in the sense that, there was a part of me that was ashamed of who I was. I was ashamed that I was Mexican. Part of that was generational, things that were passed down to me. And now, since I've worked through a lot of my unresolved issues .. .I'm proud of who I am, so I think of myself as Mexican." "Cada cabeza es un mundo," says Ramon. "Each mind is a world of its own. I think that's where we're at. We are not homogeneous by any sense." The brothers explained that their education was very important to their family, so that they could impact the system and make some changes for the Hispanic community. "My uncle Frank graduated at the age of 67 ," says Ramon. "He was a role model for the whole community. He's teaching, now, with kids." All three brothers have experienced racism-in one degree or another-whether it be as subtle as a disparaging remark or as blatant as being fired for "being Mexican." "I think its', right now, more institutionalized." says Ramon, "and that's part of our mission ...to impact that structure in a more positive way,"Steve said. "To me, one of the evil things of discrimination and prejudice is the lack of choice." Javier quotes Dr. Martin Luther King, "I will not let any force make me feel like I don 't count." "Being educated doesn't mean that (racism) isn't going to happen to you," says Ramon. "I think what it means is that you are more sensitive, and that you approach it differently and you develop an alternative. When you 're educated, you learn how to use psychology, and you learn how to use your tools of analysis to overcome those things and hopefully leave somebody with some thought." 0

THE METROPOLITAN

Music Review Abd.ul reaches high, but falls short Jenny Jenny The Metropolitan

In 1988 Paula Abdul became America's sweetheart as she graced the cover of every major magazine, chatted with all the prominent talk-show hosts and sang and danced her way into superstardom with her little-girl ebullience. She became a true success story. And at the end of her first reign as queen of pop, before she took a hiatus, it appeared that the world would never fall outoflove with Paula Abdul. Maybe her hiatus was too long. Paula Abdul was suddenly faced with something every performer has nightmares about: backlash. Just before she was to return to her throne, her ever-so-perfect image began to crack. Slightly at first, but soon the allegations would spew forth and leave Paula Abdul without a shred of confidence and her fans without a shred of belief in someone who once seemed to be the epitome of the American dream. Rumors of a love affair with Jackie Jackson, of The Jacksons, which before had been vehemently denied by both singers were suddenly more believable. In J. Randy Tarraborrelli's biography about Michael Jackson, Jackie's former wife, Enid, confirms that her husband dated Abdul until

their divorce in 1987. Now, a bitter LaToya Jackson revealed in her book that Abdul dated her brother for over eight years until 1988 when her career took off. The image of America's favorite cheerleader was quickly replaced with that of a woman grasping onto anybody who could help her reach the top. Shortly after these rumors subsided another vicious rumor slapped Abdul in the face that was even more devastating and had the potential to destroy her career. An unknown backup singer alleged that Paula Abdul was not responsible for the lead vocals on her .nulti-platinum debut album, Forever Your Girl. Following allegations that she had lip-synched through her 1989 summer tour, this rumor left Paula Abdul with little credibility as a singer. It was around this time that the PR execs at Virgin Records divulged that Paula Abdul discovered a new technique to improve her singing-a hearty belch before laying down her tracks. They also noted that her voice was deeper and richer after training with a vocal instructor during her hiatus. As of today, it's obvious that these vicious rumors quickly subsided once the follow-up to Abdul's debut album was released. She maintained her innocent, schoolgirl image with her first single and video off Spellbound, ''Rush Rush," which spenta rare five weeks at the top of Billboard's Hot 100 chart, a feat previously untouched for seven years. Although the song is weak, especially for a first release, it may have found its

strength in a forgiving public, overly anxious to prove that all that really mattered was her performance, not the smut behind the scenes. "Promise of a New Day," Abdul's second release followed the ex.a mple of "Rush Rush" and found its way to the #l spot. Interestingly, Abdul originally recorded this track as a warm-up before she laid down her vocals for "Rush Rush." The strongest song on Spellbound is "Vibeology," probably the next release. If . you saw Abdul perform this song on the MTV awards earlier this month, try to dispel that memory from your mind. Her performance gave no justice to the song. Lively horns and a killer bass make "Vibeology" the most brilliant track on Spellbound. This would have been a great first release. Maybe it will revitalize record sales if she releases it soon. The album is slipping down the charts 17 short weeks after its debut. By contrast, Forever Your Girl spent almost a year in the top five and is still registered on Billboard's album chart, 152 weeks after its release. Spellbound is very different from Forever Your Girl, which was purely entertaining. Spellbound often seems lost and without

direction. A perfect example of this is the title cut, a corny song about a love who has · her spellbound. There is no focus to this song. It takes on several weak arrangements and seems to drag on forever. Abdul still hasn't found her niche and devotes much of her CD to mocking the Minneapolis sound of Prince at his worst. Many of the songs never get off the ground despite the rushed arrangements and desperate vocals. Although her voice is deeper and not as flighty as on her first effort, she never quite relaxes orloosens up, and it's apparent. Maybe this CD should simply have been Cl titled Bound.

THE METROPOLITAN

SPORTS 'Runner scoring duo new to MSCD, not each other Chris Caylor The Metropolitan

...

MSCD soccer star Leonard Trujillo said he has good timing with teammate Derek Scarth. They certainly should-they have played soccer together since elementary school. Trujillo,asophomoreforward/rnidfielder, currently leads the Roadrunners with six goals and four assists in eight games. MSCD, the defending Colorado Athletic Conference champion, has compiled a 6-1-1 record in those games. Trujillo's blistering pace is nearly matched by Scarth, a freshman striker who has accounted for five goals and two assists thus far into the season. It's an imposing 1-2 combination. Scarth and Trujillo are close friends and have played on the same soccer teams since elementary school, including for a Standley · Lake program that has quickly risen to one of the best in the state. Both have high opinions of the other's skills. "Leonard is incredibly fast, and he has great ball control skills. He's really hard to · stop," Scarth said. "He also thinks the game through. He has all the dimensions of the game." Trujillo says Scarth' s accuracy is his main asset. "Anything that comes off Derek's foot

will go into the net. He isn't the fastest player, but he's so accurate and smart." Trujillo's scoring explosion this year comes as a bit of a surprise. Last year, he scored a goal in the first game of the season and didn' t score again the rest of the year. Working on his accuracy around the net in the off-season has paid dividends, he said. Both envisioned attending college in different states at first. Trujillo wanted to go to school in California and play soccer for one of the many successful teams out there, but he said money-lack of it-was a problem. Scarth wanted to go the other way, to the East Coast, but decided on MSCD because he would have been too far·away from home. Both say they made the right choice. "My girlfriend goes to CU-Boulder, so that was a big consideration," Scarth said. "It's nice being close to home." "It's more my pace here than a big university," Trujillo said. Scarth and Trujillo are realistic about their respective futures. They are going towards degrees here, knowing that playing pro soccer successfully is probably just a pipe dream. Trujillo plans to major in psychology and eventually start a practice. Scarth has two goals: to coach soccer; and to become either a physical therapist or an athletic trainer. If MSCD can get by Regis College and the University of Denver, it will likely repeat

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - asCACchampions. In the meantime, Trujillo said the key is to do well on road trips. "We'll be in good shape if we can do that," he said. "We have a good team this year," he said. "We !Jave a chance to really do well this season. We should at least be able to repeaf as conference champions." Scarth agrees. "I think we're good enough to make the playoffs (the NCAA Division II post-season tournament), but I don't know a whole lot about the other teams in our conference yet.

From the cheap seats: a one-man peanut gallery

The human element .;.. where has it gone?

Wiii Hinton Sports Editor I got a call from my little brother the other night - a wake-up call. Scott is a sophomore center on the Kansas Weslyan football team in Salina, Kan. He phones my parents or me once a week to let us know how things are going on the field and in the classroom. However, this time it was different. It wasn't the usual we won or lost, I played all right, my classes are pretty tough conversation. I picked up the receiver and gave him the obligatory, "Hey bro how's it goin'." Before he spoke I could tell something was wrong. "I got my ankle rolled on in practice today," he said with a sigh that came from both pain and anguish. For those of you behind on your injury slang, getting your ankle or knee rolled is a quick and less stomach-turning way to say someone fell on the joint and bent it like a tree branch in a tornado. He told me that X-rays didn't show any breaks, but the doctors were pretty sure there was ligament damage. This would be enough to send anyone's spirits into the dumper, but I sensed there was something more to Scott's depression. There was. "We also have a kid hanging on between life and death," he said.

The MSCD women's volleyball team was California dreamin' last week as ir traveled to the coast for the Cal StateDominguez Hills Invitational, finishing third in a nine-team field. The trip started off as a bit of a nightmare as the 15th-ranked Roadrunners fell to No. 4 Cal State-Bakersfield 14-16, 14-16, 9-15 in a non-tournament matchup. Once the tournament started the team mended its losing ways as it buried Cal State-Hayward 15-7, 15-2, 15-7. The 'Runners then lost two heartbreakers in five game matches to 14th-rated Chapman College and No. 13 Cal PolyPomona. The Pomona match proved costly co-captain Darcie Inglee injured her left thumb and will be lost for at least 2-4 weeks. The Roadrunners then regrouped and easily defeated Sonoma State 15-7, 15-13, 15-10 to earn their second third place tournament finish in as many weeks. Head Coach Rhonda McMullen was pleased with the team's play and 9-5 record in the wake of one of the most challenging schedules MSCD has ever played. "We have five losses this season and all are to teams in the top 14," she said. "Right now we may have the toughest schedule in the country." McMullen said at this point the 'Runners are playing like a No. 15 team, but she believes that at the end of the season they will be a top-10 squad and a contender. "In theend we'll see if it was wise to play such a tough schedule early on," said McMullen. "~s we progress with our passing and

serving things will come together for us," McMullen said. "We have a much better attack than the teams we are playing and we have a great setter in Jen (Drees). "If we can tighten up the loose ends we are going to be unstoppable." McMullen cited Colorado Athletic Conference player of the week, Diane Dibble, a dominating hitter who at times appears as a woman among girls on the court. "She's becoming the player I knew she would be," McMullen said. "She is essentially a second-year player as far as playing time goes. She just needed the confidence." As all team players do, Dibble credited her teammates as much as herself for the honor, especially co-captain Drees. "Jen's setting well, and when she sets well we connect great," she said. As far as the Roadrunners' potential goes, Dibble agreed with McMullen' s assessment. "I don't think we've clicked yet and at times we get nervous and tense," she said, but added that the team can play with anyone in the country when their game is on. 0

A nearby Army Reserve unit needs bright people to train in certain specialized skills. In return, we're willing to help pay off a qualified student loan- up to $20,000. You could also qualify for another $18,000 for college expenses-all for part-time service, usually one weekend a month plus two weeks' Annual Training.
