Jeff Logan, MSCD student, made adonation to the Colorado A1[$ Project In exchange for a chance to make a statement on a VW Bug. The fund-raiser, held in front of the Student Union Oct. 7, was the second of many programs and events this month designed to i~crease AIDS awareness.

A Christian minister says it's a sin. Student Activities says itshouldbeaccepted, whilecampusclubsareattheirwit'send.

A controversy has begun this semester surrounding an antidiscrimination clause that would direct Auraria Campus organizations to admit people regardless of their sexual orientation.

Some groups 11.lready have su~h a clause in their <:onstitutions, while other groups expressly prohibit one because of religious beliefs.

The Student Affairs Board will conduct an open forum Oct. 16 to discuss whether "sexual orientation" should be added to the 1985 Affirmative Action plan that applies to MSCD. MSCD clubs were initially instructed to add to their constitutions the statement, "Membership to this organization shall be open to all students regarCiless of age, race, color, creed, gender or sexual orientation" at an"Interclub Council meeting .

• Potential midyear tuition hike outrages students Sharon Dunn News Editor The possibility of an unprecedented midyear tuition increase left MSCD students concerned and outraged this week following reports of a $100 million deficit in the state budget.

'The reason I come to this college is because of the lower tuition rates," said MSCD seniorMarianne Larchick. "If you 're gonna pay the

big prices, you may as well go to the prestigious universities."

Higher education, which accounts for about a fifth of the state's overall budget, escaped the ax during a round of cuts earlier this year, but Gov. Roy Romer now says it's fair game.

Any increase for spring semester would be the second tuition hike this year; MSCD students paid 9 percent more this fall.

"Until we know what 'the freeze' is going to be, we don't

know what we' re going to do," said Pam Wagner, legislative liaison for the State Board of Trustees, which govemsMSCD and three other state colleges.

"It is definitely not in our general plans to have a midyear tuition hike," she said.

But the Colorado Commission on Higher Education said this week that midyear tuition hikes could be unavoidable in light of the state's financial crisis.

Wagner said reductions in staff

and services would be considered before another tuition hike, including a decrease in library acquisitions, cuts in part-time faculty and classified staff, and elimination of some programs.

Joe Arcese, vice president of · Administration and Finance at MSCD, said there· has "been no discussion on the executive level" about a midyear tuition hike.

Students, however, weren't reluctant to discuss their concerns about a potential increase.

"It would cause a lot of problems," said Erin Maguire, an MSCD graduate "wtio has returned to take extra classes. Maguire said she was sympathetic with the plight of the state, but that a tuition hike would not be best for the students who come to MSCD for lower tuition rates.

Some students said an increase would discourage new students from coming to the school. . 'They should put more money see Fears page 5

NEWS Deadly theme gives Iife to alcohol awareness Chris Austin The Metropolitan

..

â&#x20AC;˘

Using "Dead Students Don't Graduate" as its theme, MSCD' s student government is planning a '!"eek of activities in conjunction with National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week.

MSCD will be one of many colleges and universities nationwide participating in NCAAW, taking place Oct. 13-19.

A committee composed ofmembers from student government, Student Activities and the MSCD Counseling Center is working on ideas to highlight existing programs and promote development of new alcohol education programs on campus.

Grants of $1,000 are being awarded to six institutions with functions that best enhance alcohol awareness. Chip Wiman, MSCD student government president, said that student government hopes to display a wrecked car in the area around the flag pole, marking it like an accident scene while using

the campaign's theme.

Angie Binder, a staff assistant for student government, said, "Alcohol should not be a drawing factor for any event. Look at the Bud Bash - how many people who had a beer went to class or drove home? You can drink responsibly and still have a good time."

If MSCD is awarded a grant, the money will be put into student government's budget for programs that it sponsors, Wiman said.

The Counseling Center is planning to use the opportunity to promote new staffmember Don Sugar, who will be working part time through the center on alcohol awareness.

Other activities that are still in the planning stages for NCAAWare a "Red Ribbon" campaign that would involve the tying ofred ribbons on cars in the campus parking lots to promote safe driving, handing out "Don't drink and drive" key chains customized for the campus, and to list campus activities and alternatives for dealing with stress.

Any student interested is assisting with NCAAW can contact Angie Binder at 556-

Resumes and references, rather than campaign promises, are what the MSCD student government is looking for from vice presidential candidates to fill the position that Anthony Vander Horst left vacant Sept.

24.

"I could have picked anew vice president, but I already made one mistake that way, "said Chip Wiman, MSCD student government president. Wiman said that he decided to hire someone through affirmative action after seeing how well it worked to fill another vacant position in the office.

For now, Marcus Dunn, a student senator, has been appointed as interim vice president. Dunn has not said ifhe will run for the permanent position.

The requirements to apply include at least a 2.0 GPA, although a 2.5 is prefered, two letters of reference, one from an MSCD faculty member, current transcripts aQd a two-page typed statement as well as an application that can be obtained at the student government office, room 340C in the Stu-

All applications must be in by Oct. 16, at noon. After the applications are received they will go to Yolanda Ericksen, assistant dean of Student Life, who will make sure that the packets are complete before sending them to a screening committee that will choose the most qualified applicants and send them to the interviewing committee, of which Wiman is chair.

"We will have a list of questions that are the same for each applicant," Wiman said. _'There is a rating scale that is agreed on and all the applicants are rated, then the scores are tabulated."

The salary would be $400 a month.

"Overworked and underpaid, money shouldn't be a motivator for this position," Wiman said. "I want someone who would work like crazy, be excited about what they are doing, and want to make a difference for the students."

"We are hoping to get everything done within two weeks of the application deadline," said Angie Binder, student government staff assistant. "There is a senate meeting on Oct. 23, the choice has to be ratified by the senate, hopefully at that meeting. This process may bring in someone that we didn't already know about that would

concerns about the phrase to the director of equal opportunity at MSCD. Each club agreed it would go against their religious beliefs and would be an infringement on their first amendment rights to freely practice their religion.

"The phrase goes against my personal religious convictions," said Ron Gustman, director of the Baptist Student Union.

"Adding it to our constitution would be condoning a sin. It would mean that we agreed with homosexual activities."

Gustman said that a homosexual individual would not be turned away from their organization but would be instructed in Christian values. "We would seek to involve them in Christian love," Gustman said. "In either personal or group counseling, we would tell them that their homosexual activities were wrong. The Bible speaks very clearly against such activities."

According to Percy Morehouse, director of equal opportunity at MSCD, after receiving the letter he advised the clubs that they could voluntarily include the clause, but the school couldn't hold them to it.

"We don't think anyone should be discriminated against," Morehouse said. 'The present language doesn't protect the gay and lesbian community from discrimination."

The issue arose from an incident that occurred on campus in the summer. A student complained to the Office of Student Activities saying that she was denied access to a volleyball game because she was a homosexual.

"In the summer, a student registered a complaint of discrimination against a

campus religious group," said Davidson Porter, associate director of Student Activities. 'The student was told that she couldn't play volleyball because she wasn't-a Christian."

Porter researched the constitution of the organization and found that a member did need to be a "Christian" to join.

Porter researched further and found that the Student Affairs Board's policy bad a non-discrimination clause that included sexual orientation.

"Our office strongly believes that no student should be discriminated against," Porter said. "We decided, at the time, to enforce SAB policy." Porter is convinced that this issue is becoming a widespread practice.

"I think that including this phrase is becoming a trend at college campuses across the country," Porter said. "We welcome diversity and will promote the addition if it is adopted."

A petition is currently being circulated by the Black Student Alliance, Feminist Alliance, Movimiento Estudiantes Chicanos Aztlan and the Democratic Socialists of America, all of which agree that the phrase should be added to the Affirmative Action plan.

"I'd like to paraphrase a cartoon I saw in W estword that accurately describes the reason for the petition," said Jody Andrade, of the Feminist Alliance.

"Where would hate be in this world without organized religion?

"There is no selective discrimination," Andrade said. "We're either going to discriminate or we're not."

Morehouse said that anyone who wouldn't agree with the policy would have a right to due process.

Two CCD students arrested in scuffle Barry Tobin Staff Writer -<

Two people were arrested Oct. 8 in connection with a scuffle involving a knife in the South Classroom building earlier that day.

Brenda Hurd, 26, and Gerald Hall, 22, both Community College ofDenver students, were taken to Denver City Jail and held for

investigation of assault. Hall reportedly suffered minor injuries.

Witnesses told Auraria Public Safety officers they saw the pair arguing about 11" a.m. in the lobby of the South Classroom.

The argument allegedly escalated into a shoving match and the pair left the building, said Jim Ferguson, APS spokesman. Hall returned a few minutes later without Hurd, witnesses told police.

When Hurd came into the building a few minutes later and found Hall, the argument continued, Ferguson said. He said witnesses told APS that Hurd then allegedly assaulted Hall with the knife, which bad a 3.5-inch folding blade, and fled. Hall was treated at the scene for a cut above his left ear, then arrested. Hurd was arrested offcampus about an hour later. Both suspects were suspended from CCD pending an investigation.

Student government President Chip Wiman said he is calling on MSCD President Thomas Brewer to join Judith Albino, the University of Colorado's president, in calming student fears by ruling out the possibility of a springsemester tuition increase.

Brewer was not available for comment.

Students relying on financial aid to meet their tuition bills might be forced to seek an increase in assistance in the event of a tuition hike.

Cheryl Judson, director of financial aid at MSCD, said a tuition hike would not cause a problem because the office's annual budget exceeds tuition costs.

"Students could come in and request another loan application," Judson said.

"Weprobably have a lot of students who are borrowing" who would need more money with a midyear tuition increase.

"Aslongasastudenthasaneligibility, they can borrow more money. Most banks won't accept another loan application unless it's over $200."

Drop in aid puts focus on trade, eosta Rica's ex-president says •

Philippe Marquis Staff Writer

Costa Rica must begin relying more on trade and less on aid, said Oscar Arias, former Costa Rican president.

"The United States wants to deal with Central America as a whole, not as individual countries," he said. Foreign aid to Costa Rica was cut from $250 million to $25 million in 1991.

Arias addressed Auraria students about Central American political stability and U.S. trade relations Sept. 4, during a brief question and answer session at St. Francis Center.

Arias won the Nobel Peace Prize in October 1987 for peace efforts in Central America.

"The small countries in Central America have no choice but to integrate into the continental trade bloc," he said.

However, Arias said he feels the United States is not doing enough to encourage private trade in Central Ai;nerica.

"Look what the United States has done with countries like Taiwan, Singapore and South Korea. Whycan'tthe U.S. do that with the neighbors to the south?"

Arias said recent world events have drawn media attention away from Central America.

"Once we were able to attain free elections, our economic problems were no longer

'

news," he said. "Everyone has economic problems. The U.S. government is mainly interested now in events in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union."

Arias dislikes the current leadership in Costa Rica, seeing little forward motion in the new president's agenda.

"In a country where there is no re-election, it is very difficult to find good leaders.

I guess we just have to get used to poor leadership."

According to Arias, Costa Rica must elect educated people who "are committed to sustainable growth in the area."

The region's educated are concerrned with environmental issues, Arias said. "Ordinary people are worried about many other things," he said. "They're worried about eating, feeding their children. They need housing and employment and education."

The method is a great improvement from older ways of distance calculation, which could be wrong by miles.

Now used to chart directions, the station was named for a man the Rocky Mountain News said "Put Metro on the Map." The Professional Land Surveyors of Colorado requested that the GPS name the spot in honor of Porter McDonnell, 10-year MSCD professor and coordinator for surveying and mapping. "The station was named as a memorial to Porter," George Rowley, MSCD professor and longtime friend said. · McDonnell died Sept. 5 of cancer. He was 62.

EDiTbRIAL Discrimination does not belong on campus Lawrence Jones Editor

Ever since Rosa Parks, an elderly black woman, refused to move to the back of the bus the issue of civil rights has become prominent on college campuses.

In the '60s and '70s students marched, protested and struggled for equal rights for everyone, no matter what

color their skin might be or what culture in to which they were born. Martin Luther King, Jr. fought and died for the rights of blacks in America. Equal opportunity laws were passed and enforced throughout the nation. Great advances were made. Unfortunately, now Metro wants to be one of the collegiate leaders in discriminating against others simply because they are different.

Originally, there was proposed an antidiscrimination policy for Metro student clubs that stated that they could not discriminate on the basis of age, sex, creed, color, religion nor sexual orjentruiQ.Q. A good idea, but some did not agree with it.

Outside religious groups, their representatives and student religious clubs in our college community complained about this new clause on sexual orientation. They claim that homosexuality is a sin and they cannot condone it. Fine.

Every individual is entitled to his/her opinion. The problem is that Metro allowed this outside pressure to change the decision on enacting the policy.

This sets a dangerous precedent.

If a state institution such as Metropolitan State College of Denver allows any STUDENT FEE FUNDED organization to discriminate, for any reason, then WE are condoning discrimination, racism and homophobia. This is immoral. This

goes against everything an institution of higher learning should stand for - the honest and open exchange of ideas and learning from ALL people.

So, if a current student club wishes to exclude anyone from their ranks, they should be entitled to do that. However, they should not be allowed to use any student fee funds nor any materials, supplies and locations that are supported by the monies collected from students attending this college. They should find their own "club house" somewhere off campus where they would be free to engage in their own small-minded, bigoted and prejudicial actions.

But not here.

White male discrimination is the 'big lie' of politically correct speech Editor, "The white male is the most discriminated against minority in the United States." This ideology has been seized upon and heralded by politicians, religious leaders and various publications from the National Review to Ii.me. and Newsweek. It is the backbone of the "political correctness" hysteria. This "big lie" has turned feminists , multiculturalists, and civil rights workers into "thought police" simply because they dared to challenge the traditional power structure.

The actualities on women's rights shows a much different picture. Women are still twice as likely to live in poverty housing as men and twice as likely to have no pension plan. More than 75% of women who work over forty hours a week make less than $25,000 a year which is twice the rate of men at the

same level. Women make up 68% of adults in poverty. Unlike every other industrialized country (except South Africa) women in the U.S. have neither parental leave or day care programs, Which are prerequisites for achieving equality. Men can still rape their wives in 30 states. 40 states have no laws requiring arrests for husbands that be8:_t their wives. Violence against women, sexual harassment at the work place and on campus has doubled during the Bush/Reagan years. Reported rapes have also doubled (twice that of all other violent crime). The small number of women in elected office has deminished during the 80's. 82% of women have been discriminated against on while on the job. 94% receive unequal pay. 80% of working women have traditional "women's jobs" such as secretaries and salesclerks. There are only two female U.S. senators and only two female chief

executives in the Fortune 500 companies. Only 5% of women are at the top of corporate management. (Stats. from Sept/Oct. Mother Jones, Fall, Dissent and recent Ms. Magazine.)

Before one swallows the idea of ''white male discrimination" look at the facts, see who's behind the line. The backlash againstthe women's movement is being led by fundamentalist preachers, and right wing politicians. The

counterassault on these basic rights is powerful and insidious, rolling women back into the home, barefoot and pregnant. .. The struggle for womens equality has made great gains but st111 has a wall of misogyny, being held up by George Bush and Co., which needs to be torn down.

VIEWPOINT Auraria loses with light rail The United States ranks number one in ownership of automobiles. This condition has flooded our highways, jammed the parking lots, and is a major · contributor to air pollution problems. This alone should convince every American that we need more efficient forms of mass transportation in our cities.

To this end, Denver and RTD are planning to build mass transportation to help with this influx of people into the urban areas. Yet, I question whether RTD has seriously considered the impact of light rail upon the Auraria Campus. It seems to me that very few students, faculty, or administrators have taken the time to address the problems that light rail will bring.

This issue is like many others - we want it, we need it, but not in our back yards. Light rail in Denver is an experiment. This particular plan will run a track from Five Points to Auraria. The station will be on the south side of campus, on Colfax. The Child Development Center and the South Classroom will bear the brunt of the loss of land. Not only will the Auraria campus be forced to give up small tracts of land here, but also park-

ing spaces near the Colfax viaduct. In addition, cars and passenger traffic will have to cross the light rail tracks at several intersections (Colfax and Ninth Street, Colfax and Seventh Street, and Colfax and Kalamath).

Perhaps light rail will ease some of the parking congestion on campus and the amount of cars entering campus. But I wonder how the children will enjoy playing and learning next to a light rail track? How will math students in the South Classroom building be affected by the noise generated by "light rail"?

Unfortunately, these are questions that may be answered only after light rail is put into effect.

There was a · public forum held on the issue. But how many students knew about it? Did RTD even attempt to generate an audience· from the 36,000 students on campus? RTD has made statements that it will build the light rail track no matter what Auraria and the students think. Is not RTD a public entity?

Again, I do not question the necessity of mass transportation. What I question is the viability of this particular plan. I am not sure that the light rail track benefits will outweigh the negative consequences to the Auraria campus and its students.

Evaluations help students 'hire' good teachers Editor, There has been much debate over the publishing of the Teacher Evaluation questionnaires. Not being one to step away from a good debate I shall offer the following opinion in favor of publishing the teacher evaluations. • My argument for publication is based on the perception of the student and teacher relationship. The simple fact is, WE college students are the employers.

The teachers, administrators and staff are the employees. Since students are the employers, shouldn't we have the right to see how our employees are performing?

If we draw an analogy to the corporate world; which is not so far fetched since school is a monetary concern; we can see the need for employee evaluations. If I am looking to "hire" a teacher I would like to rely on more of a recommendation than one overheard in the mens room. In hiring my teacher I would like to see questions concerning specific teaching criteria, style and philosophy answered by the instructor and a group of "previous employers." I would not hire a person to work for me in the business world without having some questions answered and reading someone's recommendations so why should I do it in college? "Hiring" a teacher for yourself sight-unseen is not very good training for what happens in the "real-world."

In this age of fax machines, mobile satellite phones, patriot missiles, and high speed computer technology, the concept of information as a tool is becoming commonplace. Why would , of all the places that deal with information, a college be engaging in the practice of withholding information? Information is the very stock and trade of a college I cllarge has been leveled that <evaluations

We are being denied vital information concerning our education, and our dollars. · Evaluations will allow students to make the best choices for ourselves ; withholding the evaluation information because it may harm someone sounds to me like prior restraint. Withholding the teacher evaluation questionnaire information from the students makes it seem as though MSCD has something to hide; do they?

Teacher evaluation publication is just one more way to make sure that students attending Metro receive a quality education, by allowing the student to "hire"the most qualified person for the job of education.

Students have a 'grip' on life, Brewer needs to get one Editor, First, I would like to thank Todd Burgess for his editorial on the proposed community service requirement (September 20 1991 ). If I hadn't been glancing over the paper I doubt that I would have ever heard of this proposal until the Registration office mentioned it.

It also helped me to realize the value of a student newspaper in keeping the student body informed of executive workings.

Second, I want to state that I am outraged at the statements made by MSCD President Dr. Brewer and Patricia Kier. To suggest that students need to perform 200 hours of community service to "get a better grip on what life is all abour is one of the most ludicrous suggestions that I have ever heard.

On another level, I find it personally offensive. It would seem to suggest that while supporting myself and going to college, I would miss what life is all about.

I think~ know what life is about.

The average Metro student works part-time, has a family, and attends school. How are they suppose to fit 200 hours of community service into a school year?

With their free time? How can you fit something in to timethatdoesn'texist?lthinktheexpression"youcan't get blood from a turnip" might be appropriate here.

There remains a lot of unanswered questions on this issue. For example, who is going to decide exactly what community service is? Interpretations of this differ. What I may consider to be community service may be different from someone else. Will a student pick a.group to serve from a list?

Say a student is already doing some community service. Will he or she be allowed to continue their work, or will they be randomly assigned something else?

Brewer stated that many students are currently doing community service. Will they receive time towards the required 200 hours, and if so how much?

With the departments that already require community service, they have a specific pufpose in doing so.

Many of the students in the human services department will do their community service in the fields they intend to work in. For example, if a human services student were to work with battered women they would probably do their service assisting in a battered women's shelter. Likewise for teaching students who would most likely work with children.

Thisrequirementdoesn'tserveanyspecificpurpose however. It comes of as-oh you wantto graduate? Get 200 hours of community service from somewhere. In other words, it's not related to what you are learning.

Let us not forget that students would not receive college credits for this effort. Currently it is possible to receive credits for "life experience" through CLEP or portfolio work. Is it safe to assume that in the case of this community service work that would not apply?

What will be the cost to the student for this community service? With jobs often come the expense to keep the job as well. Certain clothing, protective equipment, and even the gas it takes to get there and back all cost money.

Will the paperwork also cost money? Transcripts and graduation applications already force stupents to scrape up cash. I would not assume that any Metro student would have a whole lot extra to spare.

Of one thing I am certain. That Dr. Brewer will be very happy with the Federal Grant money received for installing this requirement. In the article "Future graduates may face mandatory community service" I noticed he did not mention his plans for the grant money. Onewouldseriouslydoubtthatitwillgotowards lowering tuition.

Perhaps students will learn something from their 200 hours of community service. If one does not fight the outrageous demands of government, then one will be (perhaps rightly so) subjected to the hardships that result.

I encourage every Metropolitan State College student to wholeheartedly fig~t this decision.

I have met a wonderful man and I want to develop a relationship with him but I am afraid. I was raped two and a haff years ago and have remained celibate. I haven? told anyone about the rape. I think I am ready to start dating him. We have talked on the phone many times and we seem to have a lot in common. He seems to be very affectionate but I don? think I can be affectionate in return. I don? thinlc I can even consider sex as this point. What should I do?

Afraid

Many victims of sexual assault don1 know where to go for help or what to do after being assaulted.

Many are also afraid or ashamed to seek help because they feel helpless or responsible in some way. I recommend that you consider joining a victim support group. Although there is nothing that can erase that tragic experience and the traumatic impact it has on you, you may find it helpful to share and receive support from others who have gone through a similar experience. You don1 have to continue keeping that secret inside and you can create the opportunity to work through the effects of being sexually assaulted.

1. Denial of the severity of the experience; denial that it even occurred.

2. Only temporary relief from symptoms of anxiety and paranoia without help and support from others.

3. Generalized fear of men, especially those who look similar to the assailant

Students wanting to produce a videotape program often become discouraged when they find that high rental costs can severely limit the time they can afford. It doesn't have to be that way.

Auraria Campus Television (ACTV) is most commonly identified by its familiar TV monitors that show a variety of local and national programs on a closed circuit system around campus. In addition to this programming, ACTV has a variety of remote video production equipment available for student us~at no cost! Finished productions can be given air time on the ACTV system.

Kevin Krause is supervisor of operations at ACTV, which is located near the west end of the game room in the Student Union.

Krause is one of four part-time staffmembers who run the facility, along with assistance from three or four volunteers.

"The equipment is here for any student on campus, not just broadcasting and communication majors," Krause said. "The productions should be school-related, but any program that would be of interest to students is all right, too, as long as it's something we (ACTV) can use."

Krause, a graduate of MSCD, has worked at the facility for the past year. The ACTV staff works together to decide what the program schedule will be and at what times

the programs will run. Much of the schedule includes CNN News and regional news provided by KCNC TV in Denver, as well as certain PBS programs. Students talcing a break may have noticed that the monitor in their favorite student lounge is playing the Monday Night Football game.

The ACTV staff creates campus programs, which are also run on the system. A campus news show is produced regularly, and a program that asks for student perspectives on current events issues is presented in a "man on the street" style. · "When a program we run is credited as an ACTV production, it doesn't necessarily mean it was produced by the ACTV staff or its volunteers," Krause said. "It may be a student project that is being given air time.

The main point I want to stress is that this equipment is available to any student."

The remote equipment offered includes two Panasonic cameras, one Sony 3/4 inch deck and two VHS decks. ACTV also has post-production facilities for editing. The set-up is designed to accomodate both VHS and 3/4 inch formats .

If you are a novice and unsure of the jargon, or you feel unsure about handling a video camera, but would like to give it a try, Krause says you are welcome to do so.

"We can usually tell if someone has had experience when they come in to pick up the

4. Guilt of feeling par11y responsible for the assault.

7. Fear of reprisal from the attacker.

equipment. If they need help, we will get them set up and show them how it all works," Krause said. "We encourage people to use it, even if they only just want to see what operating a camera is like."

In the future, Krause said that ACTV will be adding a new feature to their programming with the airing of student projects.

Scheduled to run every Friday in the near future, a block of time will be set aside for various student productions done as class projects.

If you are interested in either doing volunteer work, or taking advantage of the facilities, stop by the ACTV office, or call 556-3316. To insure that you get the equipment you want at the time you need it, it is best to make your reservations two weeks in advance.

Music Review _Guns N' ¡R oses: gooCI music, bad words Jenny Jenny Music Writer

.. '

September 16, 1991, 11 p.m.: Fanatical groupies of rock music's reigning royalty, Guns N' Roses, anxiously count down the remaining seconds until Sept. 17. They line up endlessly outside record stores across the nation that are opening their doors at midnight for the occasion. In one short hour these fans will be able to grasp onto something they've been waiting an eternity for: two CDs-152 minutes- of brand new G N' R music.

That was almost a month ago, but the furor surrounding Use Your lllusion I & II is still as frenzied as day one. Both CDs are filled with over 75 minutes of hard rock that draws comparisons to the most legendary of rock bands. Use Your lllusion sets aside Guns N' Roses as a group with staying power in an industry in which careers come and go daily.

Altogether there are 30 songs, almost all of which are seditious outlets for Axl Rose's pent-up anger at the world. In spite of much of the 1yrical content, the music is extreme)y brilliant and embodies everything a great rock song should have.

Among the best of the songs is "Get In The Ring," a furious lashing out at the nemesis of all celebrities: critics.

"Just like you I got my vices/I got a thought that would be nice/I'd like to crush

your head tight in my vice/Pain!! !/And that goes for all you punks in the press{fhat want to start s--t by printing lies/Instead of the things we said."

If you look past the lyrics, "Get In The Ring" is a fierce, rockin' song "dedicated to all the Guns N' F-----g Roses fans who stuck with us through all the s---."

Although the lyrics are nihilistic on several of the songs, such as "Bad Obsession," in which he calls his mother a "c--t," or "Back Off Bitch," and "Pretty Tied Up," which are likely to cause an uproar in feminist groups across the nation, it's hard to ignore the uniquely engaging music. Slash' s playing is incredibly diverse. In most songs, his guitar is screaming, but his true talent is spotlighted in such tracks as "Double Talkin' Jive," in which he plays an incredible classiclll guitar solo.

But the strongest songs on the CDs are the ballads, which expose Rose's sensitive side and make it impossible to believe he's the

same person whose unrelenting rage filtered intosomanyofthecompositionson/l/usions. " Don't Cry," the latest single, features Rose's mellow, touching vocals with a full, sentimental arrangement and lyrics. "November Rain" starts off with enchanting keyboards that give way to husky vocals and a stronger, more defined arrangement. It's one of the best songs on either CD. With all the hype surrounding the release of lllusions, it isn't hard to believe that part II debuted at No.l on B"illboard's album chart and part I isn't far behind at No. 2, with combined sales of over 1.5 million in their first week of release. The two CDs shoved Garth Brooks' Ropin' The Wind from No. l, where it debuted the previous week, to No. 3, and completely overshadowed new releases from Mariah Carey and Ozzy Osbourne, which also was released on September 17.

It looks like Guns N' Roses has found their new home at the top of the charts-at least for now.

"It's wonderful," said Mary Dunn, 80, who shimmied in her seat during a recent performance of"Dancin' in the Street" at the Denver Performing Arts complex.

Dunn was among a recent audience that was dancing in the aisles and clapping their bands in rhythm to the likes of Smokey Robinson, Diana Ross, Marvin Gaye, Gladys

Knight, The Four Tops and the Temptations at the theater's opening production billed as "a motortown revue."

MSCD communications major Mary Louise Lee is among the talented cast. Lee, awarded Best Performance by an Actress in a Musical by the 1990 Denver Drama Critic's Circle for "Up On The Roof," gives a dazzling show as Diana Ross. The famed Supremes trio is rounded out by Roslyn Bishop and Arn~dria Moore, as Tam.my Terrell and Gladys Knight, respectively.

"It's a lot of hard work managing 50 to 60 some-odd personalities to make it a unique and top-quality entertainment facility ," Kimball said of his newest venture. "There are moments when I feel as giddy as a kid at Christmas and moments when I feel very much the burden of responsibility."

SPORTS Men's soccer nips rival DU 1-0 The MSCD men's soccer team continued its dominance of the Colorado Athletic Conference Sept. 5 with a 1-0 victory over arch rival and primary divisional threat the University of Denver.

Greg Oakley scored his third goal of the season just 4:52 into the contest and the Roadrunners put on the clamps defensively the rest of the way to improve their record to 7-4-1.

More importantly, the team moved its CAC record to an unblemished 5-0 at the halfway point of the conference schedule.

The teams were extremely aggressive, something to be expected when two teams that simply do not like each other get it on.

On three occasions the Pioneers were too aggressive and were given yellow card warnings. Both teams committed 26 fouls. ''They were very physical," said 'Runners tri-captain John Talyat of DU's play. "But everybody kept their composure and we made it through without a card." The game marks the first of the season in which the 'Runners were not given at least one card warning.

Defense was the key for MSCD, and in an odd change of direction it was offensive leader Leonard Trujillo who proved most stingy on defense.

"We got an outstanding defensive effort from Leonard," said Talyat of Trujillo's suffocating coverage of DU star Dawit Agonaser.

Goalie Mike Najar recorded his fifth shutout of the season and was honored as the CAC player of the week, showing why he is considered the top net minder in the conference.

"Putting kids through school is a heavy load. But UPS helped us bear 1t.

When our son was 1n college he worked part-time at UPS and made almost $10,000 a year. He also gained valuable work experience that looked great on his resume. It helped him get the job he wanted. Fortune magazine says UPS is one of America's 'most admired' companies. We know why.

"Now our daughter is in college. She works at UPS too. Making good money and getting great experience. She's also eligible for an educational loan up to $25,000 a year. That's a big help.

"UPS helps kids 1n so many ways.

They can schedule their worJ< hours around their class hours- mornings, afternoons. nights, whatever works best.

"A ma1or university study has even shown that students who work 15 to 20 hours a week actually get better grades!

It's true Our kids and UPS proved it."

UPS DELIVERS EDUCATION

tains Leisure and Stephanie Price are the only seniors.

Junior forward Sabina Ueblacker cited Leisure's physical skills and soccer intuition as keys to her success. "She has good control of the ball," Ueblacker said. "She's aware of what's going on around her, she moves to the right place. Bridgette isn't greedy, if she doesn't have a good shot she'll give the ball up."

Leisure, a business management major, enjoys spending time at home with her family when she isn't on the field. In addition to carrying 15 credit hours, spending two hours a day practicing soccer and playing in games, she works part time at a retail store. When asked what she likes to do outside of soccer Leisure said, "Relax."

Support from her family and her early start in soccer are her biggest advantages Leisure said. The downside of this success is the missed time with family members and other activities, she said.

Montojo and Leisure both agree that her best game was last year against Regis in a Colorado Athletic Conference playoff game where Leisure scored five goals and had one assist in a 6-1 win.

"She went wild in that game," Montojo said. "She was phenomenal."

Ueblacker and Montojo said Leisure's competitive drive helps her outplay her opponents. "She takes some knocks out there and isn't afraid to sacrifice her body," Montojo said.

Montojo said he would like to end Bridgette Leisure's soccer career with a playoff bid in the NCAA Division II pl~y­ offs.

"She has been a big part of building a soccer tradition here," Montojo said. "It would be great to see her make the all-region team again and to send her off with a playoff game."

Bridgette Leisure started her MSCD soccer career in 1988 as a walk-on player, a somewhat inauspicious start to a far from inauspicious career.

Since walking on, Leisure, 21, has vaulted to the top of the Roadrunner's record book.

She owns team records for: goals in a season, 23; points in a season, 49; and is the all-time point leader for the 'Runners, a record she broke in her junior season. The most prolific scorer in school history currently has 107 points, a distant 34 points beyond the old record of MSCD Assistant Coach Tonja Ridgeway.

MSCD's all-time scorer doesn't keep track of her statistical accomplishments. "I didn't know I had broke 100 points this season until someone told me," Leisure said.

"The reason I scored so many goals last year is because we had a lot of forwards hurt and I had to pick up the tempo."

Leisure started playing soccer when she was five years old in California with her two sisters. The Leisure sisters must have been a pee-wee coach's nightmare. "Together we would score between five and six goals a game," Leisure said. "My twin sister Rhonda and I would have contests to see who could get the most goals or assists."

The family moved to Colorado in 1981.

Leisure attended Pomona High School, a school that plays in the Jefferson County League, the premier soccer league in Colorado according to MSCD Head Coach Ed Montojo. At Pomona, Leisure was named second team all-conference as a sophomore, first team all-conference her junior and senior years and second team all-state her junior season.

Leisure not only made the team her freshman year at MSCD, but also came in second in total points that season. In her sophomore season she led a rebuilding team with 10 goals.

"She ' s a real gem," Montojo said.

"She makes things happen on our team and she's willing to do whatever is needed to help us win."

Leisure has played midfield and striker this season but so far her numbers have been off last year's pace. "It' s hard this year because I'm double-teamed more," she said. "It' s okay because we have a really talented team and assists are just as good as goals as long as the team wins."

The Roadrunners 1..aJ11Gr1g1tT-/ TheMetropo1itml are ranked 17th in the Bridgette Leisure went from walk-on to captain in what has turned nation and team cap- out to be the most prolific scoring career In school history.

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

Men's soccer stops playin (yellow) cards Will Hinton Sports Editor Just a few things to make you go, hmm ...

Stop the presses. No sooner did I write about the underhanded field exploits of the men's soccer team than they went out and played a warning-free game. In their 1-0 victory over arch rival University of Denver Oct. 5, the boys in blue ~ed more goals than yellow cards, ending their season-long streak of games with at least one warning.

And here's the kicker, DU hacked and whined its way to 3 yellows. What ever happened to retaliation? Couldn't one of our enforcers have "accidentally" put a boot in someone's groin or called the ref something inappropriate to print in this paper?

Just kidding folks. Congratulations to the Roadrunners on eeding the streak and winning the most imp-Ortant game of the year, proving once again that they are the class of the Colorado Athletic Conference. Conference champions, again. I like the sound of that, and judging by the way these guys are playing in the CAC, they must love it.

The 5-0 record and only two losses to Colorado opponents proves the team's dominance in-state. However, the 'Runners' record out-of-state shows a goose egg in the victory column, which doesn't help much in terms of national recognition and rank. The upcoming Florida roadtrip pits our boys against some tough competition and a successful showing (at least a win and a tie)

should do our chances of gaining the program's first ever NCAA bid a world of good.

The MSCD women's volleyball team is suffering from a little case of Dr. Jeckyl and Ms. Hide. They either rip their opponents apart or they go into hiding. That's probably a tad bit harsh, but this team does at times look like two completely different groups. In games against lesser opponents the ladies look like world beaters, usually crushing their foes in three games. Then in some big matches, like the Regis debacle, they go right into the dumper.

Which team is the real Roadrunner representative? Without a doubt I think it is the world beaters. This team is far too talented and possesses too many quality athletes to play like it did against Regis. They played with the No. 1 team in the nation early in the season and have held their own against other high-ranking teams. In fact, they beat a ranked team in the University of North Dakota at the Central Missouri Invitational.

To their credit, they have been playing without Darcie lnglee, a team leader and the team's best all-around player, and Natalie Dittmer, a player who provided the squad with irreplaceable height off the bench.

However, as any .competitive player or coach will tell you, injuries are no excuse.

If you're thinking about graduating to the power and performance of a NeXT™ computer, we'd like to help ease the cost.

Buy any NeXT CPU before Oct. 31 and we'll give you WordPerfect®, the premier word processing program, SoftPC®, the AT-class MS-DOS® emulator, and Diagram!™, the powerful drawing and diagramming package, for just $295.

That's nearly $1400 worth- of software. Software you'd probably buy anyway, for $295.

And since Mathematica® comes free with every NeXT machine sold on college campuses in North America, altogether you'll be saving as much as $2000 on some of our most popular productivity tools. · And don't forget about the revolutionary computer these tools run on. When you graduate to a

.

NeXT computer you're moving up to the one desktop computer that can carry you through college, graduate school and beyond.

That's because no other desktop computer brings such a full suite of high performance workstation features to bear on such a wide range of research, analysis, and problem-solving tasks.

And no other desktop computer surrounds so much performance with the easy-to-use graphical interface (and the easy-to-live-with price) of a personal computer.

So when you purchase a NeXT computer and some powerful software, we'll kick in enough savings to help pay for the 'computer itself.

After all, if you're bright enough to graduate early, we wouldn't want a little thing like money to stand in your way.

If YOU WANT TO GRADUATE IN OCTOBER, WE LL HELP WITH THE TUITION.
