Senate approves free lunch
A week of demonstrations
Senators will receive $4 card after meetings Sylvia Lei The Metropolitan

A protester stands on the west steps of the Capitol during Denver's Columbus Day Parade on Oct 12; American Indian demonstrators disrupted the procession for 45 minutes. In a week of demonstrations, students marched to protest funding cuts in programs for alcohol and drug rehabllhatlon, and gay rights supporters decried clubs unwilling to accept an anti-discrimination clause. See stories, Page 3.
MSCD student senators, who are unpaid, voted Oct. 9 to give themselves free lunches to promote attendance at senate meetings. The "food-card bill," approved on a 7-5 vote with one abstention, would allow each student senator to receive $4 worth of free food at the Student Union cafeteria. Senators would be given a "food card" after attending a full meeting o'f the senate, which meets twice a month. The bill sparked controversy in the senate and among some MSCD students. "I think that the students are entitled to know these things (where exactly their money goes)," said Katarina Ahlfort, an MSCD sophomore. "All students should vote on a decision like that." Sen. Charles Buchanan, who introduced the bill, and Student Government President Chip Wiman said that, unlike at many other colleges, MSCD senators are not paid and should receive a little bonus. Opponents of the bill, such as Xeturah Woodley, one of the five senators who voted against the measure, said senators knew before their election they would not be paid. "No one knows who the senators are, but we can still get food cards," Woodley said. "I don't think this is what we need right now; perhaps after we have accomplished something." In its 1991-92 budget, student government set aside $2,400 for the program, but it still needs the approval of the Student Affairs Board, which allocates funds to various student organizations. Student government is among the programs financed by a student fee of $45,

Religious doct.rine vs. gay rights
"Clarence Thomas has been raped, and confirmed or not, he'll never be able to bring back his reputation."
Opposing groups air views at open forum L.M. Pollock The Metropolitan
Krissy Braun, student trustee forMSCD iii! Dominic C1-z I The MelrCpOlrtan
Students rallied Oct. 15 in support and opposition of Judge Clarence Thomas' nomination to the Supreme Court.
Reilly sparks.battle of opinions Barry Tobin Staff Writer A rally of about 300 students erupted into a battle of opinions at the Student Union amphitheater Oct. 15 when sides clashed on the issue of Judge Clarence Thomas' nomination to the Supreme Court. The Senate later that Tuesday confirmed Thomas' nomination by a narrow margin of 52-48. Allegations of sexual harassment directed at Thomas from Law Professor Anita Hill during Senate Judiciary hearings became the spark that ignited the students' confrontation. "Clarence Thomas has been raped, and confirmed or not, be' ll never be able to bring back his reputation," said Krissy
Braun, MSCD's student trustee. The rally, organized by the MSCD College Republicans and the Political Science Association of MSCD, offered participants an open microphone to voice their opinions. "Sexual harassment is sometl'.ling that has been OK in the eyes of society and that needs to be changed," said Jennifer Frank, an MSCD junior. "It's not OK to tell me my boobs are OK. Anita Hill is making a stand for all women." Scott Miles, president of the MSCD Political Science Association, said that it is time to focus on political realities and forget "surface issues." "The issue is Thomas' qualifications to sit on the Supreme Court, not whether he is a sexist or racist or whatever," Miles said. He called those opposing Thomas' nomination "reactionaries blinded by the side issue of Thomas' alleged misconduct
while the larger picture escaped their attention." Angered factions sitting on the steps of the Student Union fired back at Miles, 'Thomas' sexism happened at the EEOC," a guardian agency against sexist and racist misconduct. "Somebody should take a good look at Robert Gates' record," Miles said referring to President Bush's recent nominee to head the CIA. However, Roxanne Nice, president of University of Colorado at Denver's student government, said racism and sexism are overriding issues that need attention. The whole story may never be known, Nice said."People on both sides are attacking her credibility and his credibility without any real foundation. The only two people who know what happened are Anita Hill and Judge Thomas." 0
About 50 students debated whether a gay rights clause should be added to the 1985 Affirmative Action plan in an emotionally charged forum Oct. 16. The proposal would incorporate a reference to "sexual orientation" to ensure that clubs funded with student fees cannot exclude gays and lesbians. Religious clubs oppose the clause, saying their rights are infringed upon by a policy that runs counter to church beliefs and national charters. The debate became heated after College Republicans representative David Corn asked people to carefully study what the term "sexual orientation" may include. With that, he made mention of pedophilia, necrophilia and bestiality. MSCD student Sen. Charles Buchanan countered Corn's statement, saying that homosexuality is not illegal in Colorado, unlike the deviant acts Corn named. MSCD student government supports the addendum and passed an executive order requiring all campus clubs to add a similar clause to their constitutions. If any club does not comply, they will lose their student funding as well as special club privileges, according to the order. Matt Taylor, a member of the student government Judicial Board, said fees funding see Forum page 4
Students protest cuts in anti-drug programs Suzanne Hardy

Metro students marched to the state Capitol Oct.I 6 protesting Gov. Roy Romer' s proposed budget cuts to alcohol and drug abuse treatment, prevention and intervention programs. The crowd of about 25 students, educators and rehabilitation workers stood at the Capitol steps waving signs and chanting "treatment works" and "stop the budget cuts" to protest a proposed $3 million budget cut in the Department of Health's Alcohol and Drug Abuse Division. The proposed budget cuts are still in the legislature and are not expected to be decided upon until January, when the body's regular session begins.
"We want to offer proper treatment (for addicts), and we can't do that if Romer cuts it out of the budget," said Linda Dawson, a part-time instructor in the Human Resources Department. John Bell, a freshman at MSCD, said Romer had chosen ADAD for major cuts in an "unfair, underhanded manner" because addicts don't have a lobby. "These people are under-represented," Bell said. "They have no organized lobbying groups to protect their interests." Protesters said they wanted Romer to look at the value in detox centers and other ADAD programs before making cuts. "We're saying to him (Romer) to be a bit more creative in finding solutions to the budget," Bell said. John Salazar, an MSCD senior and protest organizer, said many students wouldn't be getting an education if it weren't for

Staff Writer A group of 250 American Indian Movement members and supporters formed a human chain across Broadway near Civic Center Park, bringing the annual Columbus Day Parade to a standstill for 45 minutes Oct. 12. Police and parade officials tried unsuccessfully to resolve the conflict while protesters dumped gallons of simulated blood on the road and chanted "No parade for murderers, no parade for murderers." Russell Means, a co-founder of AIM and a leader at the Saturday protest, said Columbus was the first trans-Atlantic slave trader, partly responsible for genocide directed against Indians. Historians have written that large numbers of the Native American population were wiped out from European diseases. "Disease was a tool the invaders used to frighten the Indians into accepting Christianity," said MSCD student Walter Apodaca, Chicano studies major. Apodaca, who was present in the protest, said the invaders told Indians the reason they were dying while the invaders were not was because they had not accepted Christianity.
Apodaca, a spokesman for Movimiento Estudiantes Chicanos Aztlan (MEChA) said that the Catholic Church saw the Indians as non-humans and declared that Indians could be killed as animals. "As Chicano people, we believe that we are the product of this genocide. We are 'Mestizo people', the mix of European and Indian blood. "We understand our indigenous roots and we do not deny them," Apodaca said. "We come here today in support of the American Indian Movement and the other tribes who gather here today." MSCD student Sen. Charles Buchanan said, "I thought the symbolism of the blood being poured on the street was very powerful. "But more important than stopping the parade and the symbolism oftbe blood on the street, is the celebration of our cultural diversity," Buchanan said, echoing an American Indian sentiment: We are all related. Means took issue with that sentiment, however. "Our trouble is that we have to be recognized as part of the human race," Means said. Means said healing the wounds of the American Indian will never happen "Indian people have to go for independence," he said. 0

Students 'come out' on their national day Janie V. Tinnon The Metropolitan
"Gentle, angry people" of the gay and lesbian community proclaimed their sexual preferences at MSCD during National Corning Out Day on Oct. 11. The event is celebrated yearly to develop a sense of unity within the community across the country. ''The purpose ofNCOD is to increase the visibility of the gay and lesbian community," said Lynn Shepodd, executive directorof the organization National Coming Out Day. Gay and lesbian poets, speakers and singers gathered during the program sponsored by the Feminist Alliance of MSCD. Members of the Denver Women's Chorus led the audience in songs such as "Singing for Our Lives" that*med to express their "gentle anger," stre gth and pride about being gay and lesbi . John Young, a memberofthe Black Men's
X-Change and board memberof the Gay and Lesbian Community Center, asked that gays and lesbians break their isolation and be proud of who they are. "I've been out for nine years and I'm staying out," said Donnita Wong, an MSCD student. "It's about being proud of who you are." Doug Blankenship, also an MSCD student, said it was a day of empowerment. "It would be good if more of the older generation of the gay and lesbian community could come out. Today is important for that purpose." Shepodd said that it was time that they start telling the truth about their lives. "It's a personal commitment to make a change," Shepodd said. "It's a chance to encourage others to act powerfully and not 'act out."' With that, Shepodd denounced some common myths about gay women being oversexed, irresponsible or the stereotype of a macho image. "As long as you're in the closet you'll
believe the myths," Shepodd said. "When things get tough you have to remember that within your circle of influence - which includes family and friends-you are living at 100 percent." Shepodd chose Denver over Sacramento, Calif., and New York for where the organization celebrated National Coming Out Day
this year. "I wanted to go to the middle of the country where things are really hopping," Shepodd said. "Denver really has its act together. The gay and lesbian community here puts their positive foot forward and takes a personal responsibility to end bigotry." 0
tuition this semester," Woodley said. Asked if money should be used instead for students, Buchanan said student government is funding students with $50,000 each year. The Club Funding Committee, which allocates funds to MSCD clubs, is a part of this "funding." Buchanan also said that the executive cabinet of student government (president, vice president, treasurer and staff assistants)
receives $28,000 a year in payroll, whereas senators get nothing. Sure, senators knew that before their elections, Buchanan said, but it is like Congress, where the members also know that they will get a certain salary and then, nevertheless, raise it. "It comes to a point when there's nobody above you to tell you what to do ... If we don't get ourselves a raise, nobody else will,"
Buchanan said. Students reacted differently to the bill. "Why should they get these cards?" asked Lenny Ramirez, an MSCD senior. "That's their job. That's what they chose to do." Don Mitchell, an MSCD junior, felt the proposal was fair. "These people are volunteering their time," Mitchell said. " Four dollars isn't a big break." 0
Students rallied in support of the gay community Oct. 11 at Auraria.

SACAB: Staff day care slots should b~ cut to 4 percent . . Philippe Marquis Staff Writer
The amount of day care openings for the Auraria faculty and staff should be reduced to make room for more children of students, said members of the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board. Two weeks ago, SACAB voted to approve a campuswide student referendum that would increase student activity fees to help fund an expanded campus child care program. However, examination of the Auraria Child Care Center' s client distribution revealed to SACAB that 17 percent of the slots at the center are occupied by children of faculty and staff, although according to the latest figures, they only comprise 9 percent of the campus population, according Carol Chapman of facility planning. Carl Severson, Community College of Denver student government president and SACAB member, said that faculty and staff occupancy of the center should be limited to four percent in students' interests. Because students would be paying the increase in fees, Severson said faculty and staff would be getting a free ride while using the day care center. "If the center is wholly student-funded and student service orientated, then how did the faculty get into this equation," Severson said.
"What we are talking about is serving the student first, and faculty and staff second," Severson added. But according to Debbie Jump, director of the child care center, faculty and staff provides $23,000 in additional revenue a year for the center. Faculty and staff who use the child care center pay a weekly tuition fee of $96 plus a $22.50 bond fee for care of their children. In contrast, students who use the center pay $86 a week, while the entire student body pays the bond fee. From the bond fee, $1.90 goes toward child care services. · SACAB decided last week to send a letter to the Faculty Senate, asking a response to their protest over the disproportionate child care slots. "Why are students subsidizing for faculty and staff," said Kelli Baldree, SACAB's Auraria Board representative. Baldree said i.t is totally legitimate that all of the staff and faculty pay the bond fee. However, Baldree pointed out that historically, the entire staff and faculty has never paid the bond fee. "It should be decided whether (child care) is a priority among faculty," said Eve Kwiatkowski, MSCD's SACAB representative. ChipWiman, MSCD student government president said, "It would be a small sacrifice to make child care equitable." Some faculty and staff are concerned about losing the privilege ofon-campus child 0 care.

How much of your problem is actually a selffulfilling prophecy? Without more information, I suspect that the problems you are experiencing stem from focusing on your limitations and overlooking your strengths. Many of the limitations we place on ourselves stem from faulty beliefs.

PEOPLE The Office of Student Publications is proud to announce that
Metrospective S. Elliott Foy I The Metropolitan
MSCD Professor George Foegen has four children attending MSCD.
(tlie second yearboo/(in Metros liistory)
College attendance a Foegen family affair Jacque Williams Staff Writer
r
...
An MSCD education is not just a family affair for the Foegens-it's a family tradition. Seven of the nine Foegen children have either graduated from college or are now attending. And attending MSCD has become a tradition for at least five of the Foegen children-four current students and a graduate. George Foegen, 64, chair of the management department at MSCD, has set a precedent. The first to attend college in his family, Foegen earned his bachelor's degree from the University of Wisconsin, his master's degree from Baylor University in Texas and his doctorate in business administration from George Washington University in Washington, D.C. Lisa Forbes, 32, in her first year at MSCD, said it was her father who encouraged her to come here. "Well, I wanted to go back to school and he talked very highly of Metro and I thought it was a good start," said Lisa, who is working toward her teaching certificate in secondary education. Although her department encouraged Lisa, a mother of two, to wait until she could attend full-time, she took her father's advice and started off part-time. Foegen, who previously taught for five years at Regis College in Denver, has taught for five iears at MSCD. He's been chair of the management department for the past year. His son, Michael, 25, is working on a degree in accounting and chose MSCD for its affordability. He was accepted into the Veteran's Assistance Vocational Rehabilitation Program after serving in the Marine Corps. And, like many ofhis siblings, he also attended Regis College when his father was teaching there. "It's like I'm following him around, in a way," Michael said. He added that taking classes in the department where his father is chair can be both good and bad. "I have to do extra good to impress my instructors because they can always go to my
dad and say, 'Your son isflunkingmyclass,"' he said. In the end it's an advantage because his father is always there to help him with his studies, he said. Foegen has traveled around the world with his family . Two of his children, Kim, l 9, and Brian, 18, were adopted as babies in Korea while Foegen was serving in the Army overseas. Kim was encouraged by her sister Caitlin to go to MSCD on a swimming scholarship, but bad to let it go when she lessened her class load. She now attends part-time. Brian received scholarship offers from two major colleges, but chose to attend MSCD on a Presidential Scholarship. Caitlin, 23, is a graduate of MSCD with a degree in social and criminal behavior. She credits her father and her mother, Dorothy, who have both gone on to get higher degrees, with impressing upon their children the need for a college education. "They were a very motivating factor-it didn't feel right that we would let them down and not get at least a bachelor's degree."
"I have to do extra good...they can alwaysgotomydadandsay, 'Your son is flunking my class."' - Michael Foegen Caitlin said that, while her parents didn't push their children to go to college, they always stressed that you wouldn't get anywhere in life unless you had an education. While college costs can be a burden on any family, Foegen credits scholarships, Veteran's Affairs and the Regis College policy of providing free education for the children of professors with helping to foot the cost of his seven children's educations. With nine children in all, Foegen sometimes finds it hard to remember all of their ages, but the rest of the Foegen family lineup goes something like this: Christopher, 26; John, 28; Celia, 30; and Denise, 34. So, if you run into a Foegen in one of your classes, they might deny being related to the chair of the management department, but chances are they call George Foegen "Dad" at home. 0

THE METROPOLITAN
October 18, 1991
EDITORIAL
Sex, lies and vi-deotape arouse public Lawrence Jones Editor
Our society has a fascination for other people's lives and tragedies. In a boxing match we want to see someone knocked unconcious. In a car race we hope to see a crash. When someone is assasinated we long for fullcolor footage on the news displaying the gory details. The popularity of supermarket tabloids proves it. We want other people's misery. The latest example of societal vampirism is the Clarence Thomas
Senate confirmation hearings. It was a feeding frenzy. More people than ever before watched the hearings, gluing themselves to the television set to watchwith glazed eyes and drooling lips as allegations of sexual misconduct were broadcast. Millions watched as Anita Hill told detailed stories of Clarence Thomas' alleged sexual harrasment. Millions watched as Thomas lashed out in anger at the Senate Judicial Committee, virtually labeling them racist and comparing the entire process to a "high-tech lynching." Millions of people across America indulged in heated debates over who should be believed. Would anyone even have watched if there had been no last-minute allegations of sexual misconduct? Would any-
one have even cared if Thomas was ·confirmed or not? Would the hearings have been broadcast on every major network if the only issue had been Thomas' competency in interpreting the law? Probably not. When Robert Bork was nominated for a position on the Supreme Court there was powerful opposition to his being confirmed. Finally, after a long set of hearings, he was sent down. These hearings were not watched by all of America. These hearings lacked those vital elements that our society cares about: sex, misconduct and misery. No one watched, no one cared. No one probably even knows who was_confirmed after Bork was ousted as a candidate. This latest chapter in the book of
America's somewhat shoddy history should be labled "Sex, lies and videotape." It merits it more than the movie of the same name. We all know that someone is lying. We all know that something happened ten years ago between Thomas and Hill - But we shall never know the truth. The problem is, however, we don't care. We want the conflict. We want the drama. We do not want the truth. Our society doesn't care that Thomas was nominated by Bush on political grounds, not because he WqS qualified for the position of Supreme Court Justice. All we care about is whether or not there was a pubic hair in his Coke or if he ever told Anita Hill the exact dimensions of his penis. America, what a country.
LETTERS Environmental problem·s are reality, not just 'stats' Editor, Oh, that's rich. The same folks who brought us Watergate, "plausible deniability," and the HUD and S&L sideshows, are now pasting-on their best used-car-salesmen grins to give us the skinny on those lying Environmentalists. It's all in how you manipulate the stats, junior James Watt, Scott Gassmann insists (Viewpoint, The MET, 8/04/91 ). Those dastardly Environmentalists are cooking the books, and taking unfair advantage of we ignorant peasant's superstitious fear of the dread ... NUMBERS! Fortunately, this siege of twisted figures and purposeful misrepresentation is destined to be thwarted by the Knights of Conservative
Rightness (Order of the Belching Smokestack), stampeding to the rescue. Lucky us! Some of the claims made by an increasingly alarmist environmental lobby ARE unsubstantiated, crude (give 'em time, Industry's had centuries to fine-tune ITS lies) and emotional attempts to sway public opinion. So? No other political SIG's ever done this? Could you pick Willie Horton out of a line-up Scott? Wake up and smell the benzene. That's how politics is played today. A reading of any diatribe such as Mr. Gassmann's, clearly indicates not so much a concern on the author's part for accuracy, but near hysteria at the prospect of environmental legislation preventing his (as a budding Conservative Businessman)

VIEWPOINT No more categories, just people Categories, lord do we ever love to create categories. We classify ourselves as man, woman, middle age, young, old, Republican, Democrat, white, black, Asian, Mexican, the list goes on for days. And just as soon as we set someone into our little category, well, we know just how they are supposed to act. Our little minds homogenize the entire group into one body that acts and thinks just the way we expect them to. This simplisticview of the world pulls us into our own little realities where we are right and everyone else is wrong. How about I take a little time to fantasize here, let's say that we all took the time to get to know people as individuals, I know that this is a far-fetched idea that will never fly, but lets carry on the fantasy just a little longer. Once we get to know people, lets pretend that we judge them on "the content of their character" and not on the way that they look. Lets take this a little further and say we identify ourselves by where we are and where it is we are going, and not on where we've
been or how our ancestors got here. You know why I call this a fantasy? Because this kind of view takes time and thought, it takes abandoning the simpleminded black and white, right and wrong attitude that we develop as children. And you know why children think this way? Because that's the only way that they can relate to this complicated world, their minds are not yet fully developed. Our minds have grown, we are adults capable of abstract thinking, we can grasp such concepts as infinity and God. So why can't we seem to shed our blinders and see things as they truly are? It takes the courage to attack yourself and your way of thinking. The courage most people fake by taking on "battles" where none exist and seeing conspiracies where there are only individuals clinging to the same tiny-minded view of others that they have. What is it that I'm trying to say in all this? Only that we need to look at pebple as individual human beings, and not as neat little categories. Don't call me a white male, call me ...

Metro grads can't be verified and lose out in job market I and many others don't need this bureaucratic grief, we are looking at three different people for a job and can easily verify academic credentials on two of them, guess who loses - Metro grads. This might be an appropriate student issue to take on. My client is under pressure to fill the position this week. So one of your guys who earned a degree in December 1990 is going to lose out on a $60k a year job. Regards, O'Neill Quinlan, Media Management Resources
Multiple choice testing too easy on teachers, students Editor,
'-
T
Multiple choice testing sucks, here's why: In the process of education the instructor must test the student in order to understand what the student has learned. This procedure (testing) not only gives the instructor a perspective on what the student has learned, but allows the student a basis upon which to mark his/her progress. Certainly, the most common method used in the USA for the large college/university class is the multiple choice (fill in the dots) test. This type of test allows the instructor greater freedom with his/her time as the majority of these tests are graded by computer and can be returned to students within a week, or even less. However, some (including this undergraduate student) believe that the multiple choice test is hindering the learning process and, in fact, unfair to many students whose skills tor acquiring knowledge differ from those of the "typical" student who has mastered the wrote memory process of categorising knowledge. Further, many argue that wrote memory skills simply trivialise knowledge without giving meaning to the concepts being discussed. This is crucial in understanding the short-comings of 'fill in the blank' tests because we (American academic society) may be sacrificing the essential and greater conceptual picture of a given subject for convenience. For a start, professors could give more consideration to the true nature of education, which is indeed to facilitate the learning of certain knowledge. Knowledge is dynamic and should not (and cannot) be limited to what we store in our trivial memory base. We would have more luck in creating a method to retrieve certain trivial bits of knowledge (such as dates) if a big picture is created in the mind of the student. However, when taking a multiple choice exam, the student learns that the big picture is less important than the ability to mechanically retrieve trivial bits of information. In fact, it does not even matter thatthe student may have been able to expand on one point if it is not tested, which then further leads the student to question wether or not that bit information was important in the first place! Beyond that, multiple choice exams have become the basis
upon which a student will base all his/her knowledge on until around the junior year when students traditionally get their first real chance to express themselves in the written word. For the college drop-out, this chance is already too late as the treshman/sophmore experience is for many an alienating and disillustioning time. There is a way out. Simply, professors could encourage more study time of the student by giving open notes tests. That's right, open notes tests. The student is then, rather than increasing wrote memory skills, applying his/her skills directly to paper every day, instead of a dreaded test day. The true test of academics, a student's ability to learn ideas, comprehend them and put what's important in a notebook that will become the most reliable source of student knowledge. Moreover, at the end of the semester, every passing student should have a notebook of information, including the ever-important big conceptual picture of what is being taught. Some critics may point out that too many students will be getting too many 'A's and 'B's, and who will then get the 'D's and 'F's. Also, that students will not really remember what they have wrote down in their notebooks. However, I truly believe that it is the reverse, in that a student who has worked long and hard to prepare his/her notes will learn a little each day, instead of trying to 'cram' in as much information as possible for the test. The most deplorable example of this is illustrated in the student's notebook of class lectures that includes only possible facts and figures that may be included on the fill in the dot test. So shame the educatior that thinks that a multiple choice test is an accurate measurement of knowledge. We should realise that a multiple choice exam, which is a little too convenient for the instructor is an intrinsically biased method of testing as the subjective view of the instructor is necessarily included in each exam. We are not gods. Come on, admit that, and we will all be on our way to greater learning experiences rather than becomming 'wrote memory computer-heads' who are able to think of our great and dynamic world and the great and diverse fields available to graduates as merely a trivial experience.

The homeless belong to all of us and we should care Editor,
..
I am writing this letter out of concern over an issue which has become a tragic problem in this country. The issue of hunger and homelessness has reached emergency proportions. There are currently an estimated three million homeless Americans, thirty-three percent of that number are families. In order to see these people in our own community, all you need to do is drive around the streets of Denver, or walk by the sandwich line at St. Francis Church here on campus every day at 11 :00 a.m. This is a very sad situation, and people can ignore it, but that will not make it go away. I think one of the first steps to ending the problem of hunger and homelessness in America is to shatter the myth that people live like that by choice. I do not believe it is in human nature to choose to spend freezing Colorado nights on the street. I also do not believe anyone would want their family to spend the holidays living in a car, or staying in a crowded shelter.

LETTERS Editor, You have problems. Degree verification is an essential part of the employment process and the legal minds at Metro have just harpooned the present and graduated student body. I routinely telephonically verify college graduates nationwide, but not at Metro. A recent change requires a signed release before the Registrar Office will confirm if a person has earned a degree stated on their resume. I am not aware of another university that has such a requirement.
-
All anyone needs to do is look into the eyes of a homeless person in order to see the isolation and the pain. It is important to realize that although these people are in very difficult and unpleasant circumstances, that they are still human beings with thoughts and feelings. It is not fair to dehumanize and disregard a segment of the population because is is easier than dealing with them. There are a variety of ways here on campus to learn more about this problem and get involved. There is an "Into the Streets" community outreach project here on campus. There are many ways students can find out about the people who are living in great hardship here in their own backyard. The first step to not always look the other way. Lauren Caraghar, CoPIRG Hunger and Homeless Project leader.

CAMPUS CLUBS Club credits i·n volvement for success Jill Kearney The Metropolitan MSCD's Marketing Club is marketing success. Just last year the club tripled its membership, won a national award and was recognized by MSCD for having the best club promotions. Most of the credit for the success of the club should go to President Tina Schwab and Vice President Tony Avery. Since these two leaders took over, the club has been almost exclusively student-run. Schwab said an organization run by the students is great because it helps the students learn more, work harder and have more fun. A very agrees and said that when students get involved with the club they have a chance to put what they learned in class to use. ''That experience can help out your career," be said. "People need to develop a better understanding of marketing and get hands-on training." Why should students join the Marketing Club? "Networking," Schwab said. "It's not what you know, it's who you know." With all of the meetings, seminars and speakers the club has to offer, the least the students can gain is knowledge about marketing, and they can make contacts for the future.

Foob Eatery brings Chicago 'dog' heaven to Tivoli Cathy Hughes The Metropolitan
What would you do if you were a die-hard hot dog fan and couldn't find a Chicagostyle dog to save your life? Richard and Sandee Steinberg decided in 1987 that it was time to give Colorado a taste of that good Chicago-style hot dog. They opened a hot dog eatery called Franks'fortheMemories at9925 E. Hampden Ave., and have just recently opened Franks' Express in the food court of the Tivoli. Franks' Express, which is a take-off of Franks' for the Memories, is more college oriented. "We know students don't have a lot of time in between classes so we are set up to go as quick as possible," Richard said.
-
"I know when I was in college, I lived off hot dogs and pizza, so I thought the Auraria Campus would be a great place to open Franks' Express," Richard said. How did the Steinbergs come up with the idea? "Well, my wife and I moved to Denver in 1980," Richard said. "We were both from Chicago, and Sandee would get homesick for a good hot dog, so we'd fly into Chicago on Friday night and just gorge ourselves with hot dogs all around the city. The whole thing was getting kind of expensive." After the Steinbergs retired from their jobs as stockbrokers, they decided to give Denver a taste ofa good ol' Chicago hot dog. "Natural case, all beef Vienna dog; that's what we serve," Richard said. "They even crunch when you eat them." Even the buns are from Chicago. Richard

Music Review ~
Prince's 'Diamonds And Pearls' holds feW gems Jenny Jenny Music Writer
•
--
With the advent of MTV, music has almost taken a back seat to image in the making ofa stellar career. But there are a few artists who stand above the rest, whose music never caters to commercialism. Prince is one of those artists. Although his last major success came in 1984, subsequent albums have continually topped the artistry of Purple Rain and established Prince as a true musician dedicated to the art of making music. However, with his most recent release, Prince seems to have lost a bit of his edge and focus. Despite the title, there are only a few gems on Diamonds And Pearls. The first two singles, "Gett Off' and "Cream," are brilliantly polished songs that only Prince could pull off. They 're in line with current chart-topping dance singles, but feature unique Minneapolis funk characterized by the innovative rock star. Once you get into the CD, you'll find an eclectic mix of music that doesn't really blend or even connect. The CD lacks focus and jumps confusedly about. There are no smooth segues, only abrupt changes. From the totally funky, soulful "Cream," you're immediately thrust back a few decades to a light, jazzful era with "Strollin'." Prince's falsetto vocals are an explicit change of pace. It could be mistaken as a fake intro to psycheoutthe listener before kicking into a song more congruous with "Cream." But it isn't. He maintains his high vocals throughout the song as he sings unbearably upbeat
lyrics about eating ice cream, roller-skating and having fun: "Close the shop, let's·take a drive{fake a break from 9 to 5/lt's so great to be alive, oh yeah." This is not the same man whose sexually perverse Dirty Mind LP explicitly described oral sex and incest. " Willing and Able" is a song in the same vein as "Strollin'." It's an upbeat, jazzy song. In it, Prince sings, " My vision is clear, I'm feeling kinda stable." Maybe this gives an insight into why he lost his musical edge-he's content. There's no friction or discontent from which derives intense, cutting edge music. Instead we get songs that are better suited for Barry Manilow. On some of the other tracks like " Money Don't MatterTonight" and "Insatiable," Prince discovers a sensual, soulful quality that smacks of the singing styles of Stevie Wonder and the late Marvin Gaye. They 're good songs, but not what the typical Prince fan is eager to hear from him.
Prince tries to compensate by adding some hard-core street funk with two or three rap songs. However, these also are completely out of place on the CD and fail to spark any
magic. "Jughead" starts off with a gospelinspired vocal intra by Prince's female vocalist, Rosie Gaines, that kicks into a vigorous, pulsating beat and a rap performed by Tony M. It's a good rap song that could rival
any of the heavyweights on the rap scene today, but it's not Prince's style. The main problem with Diamonds And Pearls is that Prince seems to have lost touch with himself. He sold out to commercialism. He's trying to find something, but in the process loses his focus - the songs jump frenetically from one idea to the next. It could be that working with a band, the New Power Generation, has taken away some of Prince's vision to make way for their ideas. But the CD lacks the supreme artistry fans have come to expect from Prince. It's unfortunate because some of the songs are superior. ·They just get lost in a sea of confusion, like a diamond buried deep inside coal, or a pearl lost in the guts of the oyster. Maybe the CD should be called Coal And Oyster Guts. CD provided courtesy of Warner Bros. Records

Rugby wins without fans Mike Robuck The Metropolitan The Rugby Club bruised its way to a come-from-behind victory against the University of Denver Oct. 12, scoring all its points in the second halffor a 10-6 win. The match at Auraria was a volatile mix: Two teams who hate each other pitted in a game which is physical in nature. "It was nice to win a game, especially against those guys," forward Ken Hulse said. "There's some hard feelings left over from last year." For MSCD those hard feelings materialized in the form of penalties. DU's only scores came on two penalty kicks in the first half. Hulse summed up a rugby match as: "You run for 40 minutes, catch 'your breath for five minutes, and run for 40 more." MSCD began to control the scrummages in the second half. Scrums are eight players from each team interlocked with each other where the ball is put into play. It is reminiscent of 16 people diving for a $l00 bill simultaneously. "Our scrum was looking really good in the second half," said club president Ed Qualye. "We stole most of the balls in the scrum." Jeff Gunn scored both tries and Chris Peck made one of two conversion attempts. In the biggest game of the season on a pristine fall day the only ingredient missing was fans. "People want to see a climax, the big hit, a run scored," Hulse said, "they're not used to the constant action in rugby. It's a nontraditional spon here because we all grow up .playing footbal l, basketball, or baseball." Hulse said current rugby powers Australia and New Zealand start atheletes playing at the age of three. "Most people here don't get into rugby until colleg~." Hulse said. The team returned only five players off last year's squad which explains its 2-6 record. " Players are learning their skills," Qualye
said. "We need to learn the rules to avoid some of the penalties that are hurting us. This is a buildup season for us, we' II have a solid team next year." Hulse said new playe(s have trouble grasping the game because it is not like any spon they have played before. "Rugby takes varied skills and cooperation between players," he said. "People should check out our game, I think they would enjoy it." 0
Rugby Terms Since it is a non-traditional sport in the United States many terms used in the sport are foreign to most Americans.

Conversion: (2 points) a place or drop kick through goal posts following

Scrummage: teams form players into 3 interlocking rows of 3, 4 and 1. Two teams' front rows interlock leaving a tunnel in between in which the ball is placed by the scrum half. Ruck:duringfreeplayoneormore players from each team close around the ball when it is on the ground between them. Maul: during free play one or more players from each team close around a player who is carrying the ball. Mark: Awarded when a stationary player with both feet on the ground catches the ball and cries "mark".. A free kick is then awarded.

SPORTS From the cheap seats: a one-man peanut gallery
Gaining playoff berths order of day at MSCD Will Hinton Sports Editor
The MSCD women's volleyball team gave a great showing at the MSCD-Hot~I Denver Invitational, a performance that will hopefully carry over to the rest of the season. After slipping to 18th in the rankings and losing in five-game matches to Air Force and Northern Colorado, the Roadrunners were lacking a little bit. in the confidence department. But with a second place finish in their host tournament the squad has regained some of that winning attitude that it entered the season with. Defending NAIA national champion Hawaii Pacific won it all with an easy 3-0 defeat of MSCD in the final game of the round-robin format tournament. The 'Runners have no reason to hang their heads though. Hawaii was probably the most athletic and fundamentally sound team they have faced all year. The Sea Warriors treated the ball as if it were a porcelain heirloom falling from the living room mantle as they got to every ball before it bit the hardwood floor. Aside from the loss in the championship game, the Roadrunners played well in victories over Colorado Christian, Eastern New
Mexico, Mesa State and the University of Denver. The team was lifted by the inspired play of outside hitters Dana Stright and Debbie Guck, setter Jennifer Drees and middle hitter Crissy Canada. When Drees and her hitters were clicking, the opponent generally stopped ticking. Though they fell to No. 19, their play in the tournament gave evidence of their killer instinct and potential when they play like beasts of prey as opposed to hunted animals.
MSCD-Hotel Denver All-Tournament Team Dana Stright, MSCD Co-MVP Sheri Martinez, Hawaii Pac. Co-MVP Jennifer Drees, MSCD Debbie Guck, MSCD Kelli Kawashima, DU Loma Lyles, DU Lora Houdek, Mesa State
This peak in play couldn't have been more timely. With the Tampa Invitational and the prestigious Air Force Premier Tournament just around the comer, the team needs to be at the top of its game because of the national exposure that goes hand in hand with such events. Good showings in the tournaments could result in the program's second playoff berth in three years.
With two losses in its Florida road trip the men's soccer team has eliminated any chances it had of making the NCAA playoffs. The squad has not won a game outside the hospitable boundaries of Colorado, something that kills a team's reputation in a selection process that puts national recognition above all else. All is not lost, though. The Roadrunners are still the runaway favorite in the Colorado Athletic Conference title chase. At the Division Il level winning the conference is still a big deal since local bragging rights and an edge in area recruiting are just as important as national exposure. While the men are out of the playoff picture, the women are still in the hunt. They remain in the national rankings and boast a .636 winning percentage, but the biggest boost to their post-season hopes lies on Oct. 20. On that fateful Sunday while the rest of Denver is watching football, the 'Runners will face NCAA Division I powerhouse Wisconsin-Madison. Nothing can improve an NCAA Division Il team's rep more than a victory over a Division I opponent. Look what the men's basketball team's victory over Mississippi did for the program two years ago. A victory, or even a tie, against the Badgers in the team's last home game of the
season could be as significant to the NCAA selc!ction committee as Louis Pasteur was to milk. Can it be true? Am I dreaming or is someone just playing a cruel and tasteless joke on me? The NCAA (formerly the NonCaring Arrogant Aristocrats) finally did something to make Proposition 48 a little easier to swallow. It reduced the minimum score required on the A CT from 18 to 17. The original score was set at 15, but a change in the scoring of the test prompted the NCAA to raise the minimum to 18. Now, in a startling and unprecedented act of humility, by reducing the score to 17 the folks at the home base in Kansas City admitted they were wrong. A refreshing change, but don't hold your breath waiting for another change of heart at Tyranny Central. . 0
