Friends and family of AIDS victims that have died gathered at the St. Francis Interfaith Center Oct. 22 for a candlelight vigil. The Rev. David Angus of the Auraria United Ministries conducted the service. See story page 15.

MSCD's 1990-91 student government under former President Dan Holden spent $60,887, 13 percent more than the amount allocated by the Student Affairs Board.

Among the year's expenditures, which must be approved by the president and the student senate, were $10,472 for out-ofstate travel and $516 for Christmas decorations and candy that didn't arrive until after the fall semester had ended.

The student government's yearly allocation, which comes directly from student fees, does not include any funds that may be left over from past years. The 1990-9 l government speot $6,868 out of $12,547 in these leftover funds to offset the budget shortfall.

"There was nothing wrong with any of the expenses," said Holden, who now serves as events director at the University of Colorado at Denver. "Every single thing was signed off by the administration with the exception of the Champion."

According to Assistant Dean of Student

Life Yolanda Ericksen, Holden attempted to use student government funds to pay for publication of the first issue of the Auraria Champion, an anonymous underground newspaper. Holden initially claimed the money was for advertisements in The Metropolitan, Ericksen said.

A review of last year's budget documents also shows: • $3,836 was spent for office supplies, nearly double the budgeted amount.

• $1,217 was spent for T-shirts and sweatshirts made exclusively for student government members.

• $885 in food was purchased from Professional Food Management, the service that operates the Student Union cafeteria, and from Pizza Hut for various student government meetings.

• $2,835 was spent to send two senators and a staff member to a three-day conference at Disney World in Orlando, Fla. • $157 in flowers was purchased for statf members Danette Ledbetter and Lori Wolfson and for Ericksen.

• $496 was spent for 12 coffee and 13 beer mugs and engraving costs for student see Over spending page 4

MSCD escapes rriidyear tuition hike, but next year? .

Tuition will not increase forthe '92 spring semester at MSCD, even though the college will be cutting its current budget by 3 percent to adjust for Gov. Roy Romer's cuts in higher education, said MSCD President Thomas Brewer.

"We're absorbing the 3 percent cut in

various ways this year," Brewer said. MSCD will use money from contingency and reserve funds, money saved from not filling positions, and will reduce travel to allow for the cut. The 3 percent cut amounts to $882,000 for MSCD, out of this year's $50.1 million operating budget. However, there are no promises that tuition won't rise next year, Brewer said.

Romer announced cuts in the state budget of $48 million Oct. 17, including $14

million in education. However, Romer said it is important for the long-term economic health of the state that Colorado have affordable higher education. Companies don't ask about taxes when they are considering locating in Colorado, Romer said, they ask about educational opportunities.

"How are we going to fund public education?" Rom.er said. "Do you want to maintain your public schools the way you have them, or do you want to cut them back?"

Romer advocated a tax increase and revamping of the School Finance Act when the legislature reconvenes in January. He predicted a $200 million additional shortfall for higher education and said further cuts in state aid will be made if revenue shortfalls are not addressed by the legislature.

"We are living beyond our revenue sources," Romer said. "We may have to carve this budget back substantially."

THE METROPOLITAN

NEWS Degree verification policy hurts grads Barry Tobin Staff Writer

Some MSCD graduates are being stonewalled in the job market because MSCD refuses to verify degree status to potential employers over the phone.

The Metropolitan was recently informed of the policy that doesn't allow information on recent graduates over the phone by 0 'Niell Quinlan, a director of a Denver executivesearch firm.

The fall registration catalog states that "directory information concerning students at the college may be released without the prior consent of the student as permitted by law, unless within 10 days after registration a student ha8 notified that such information should not be released without his or her consent."

Other schools nationwide willingly verify academic degrees, Quinlan said in a letter to the editor. Because of the policy, Quinlan said that a recent MSCD graduate, a client of his, lost a $60,000 per year job.

Telephone calls to several area schools confirmed Quinlan's statement.

However, MSCD President Thomas Brewer said verification of degree status could have been done by mail.

A dean at Records and Admissions, who asked not to be identified, said Oct. 18: "What he (Quinlan) is saying is not wrong.

But I doubt the job offer was for $60,000."

"If a person lies about having a Metro degree, we should be able to tell (a caller wanting verification) either yes or no," the dean said.

When asked ifMSCD is protecting those who lie about having a degree or those who tell the truth, the dean said, "I can't answer

that. I didn't make the policy."

According to the dean, MSCD' s attorney, Chris Citron, made the policy to protect students.

Brewer said Oct. 22 the Citron policy was being reviewed by the executive cabinet and that a change was made.

Attempts made Oct. 23 by The Metropolitan to verify degrees on two recent graduates were unsuccessful.

"No policy change has been passed down to me," said Edna Huggans, an MSCD records verification clerk.

Citron's decision became policy during Operation Desert Storm when a caller asked forthe names of all MSCD students from the Middle East. Other callers have requested the phone numbers or addresses of female students.

Citron would not return phone calls and refused to comment.

Graduating seniors disagree with Citron's policy.

"It doesn't make sense," said Karolyn Buck, who will graduate this December. " Records and Admis- Brewer sions should help us, not hold us back."

Krissy Braun, MSCD's student trustee, who also graduates this December, agrees with the policy.

"That is a necessary protection," Braun said.

"But withholding verification of graduation is an unnecessary disadvantage." 0

SACAB chair appointment under scrutiny Sharon Dunn News Editor

.â&#x20AC;˘

SACAB members received aformal faceslapping Oct. 18 when UCD Student GovernmentPresident Roxanne Nice announced her intention to remove the committee's chairman, citing the same state law the body used to remove former member Dan Holden.

"It's not going to happen," said Chip Wiman, MSCD's student government president and a member of the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board.

"SACAB exists not because their student governments want it, but because the state legislature says they want to have it," Wiman said. "We won 't let it happen."

However, the state law Nice is citing is the same one that aided in removing former UCD member Dan Holden because he did not meet SACAB eligibility requirements of being a full-time student.

The law also states that members of SA CAB must be elected- a stipulation that is the driving force behind Nice's intent to remove the committee's chairman, Michael Newlon, who she appointed last summer as UCD's representative.

"If SACAB wants to be consistent, they need to elect their representatives," Nice said in a telephone interview. see Scrutiny p'iQe 4

In just two and a half months the MSCD Club Funding Committee has spent more than 60 percent of its original annual budget, but one committee member has a plan to tame this funding frenzy.

About $13,000 is left in the committee's $34, 150 original allowance, the rest having been spent since the fall semester began, according to Judy Castonguay, the committee's acting secretary.

Marcus Dunn, a member ofthe committee a11d acting MSCD student government vice president, said that this allowance is all the money that campus clubs can use for events and promotions until the end ofnext summer, and that the committee is giving out too much money too easily. "It's given to groups on a first-come, first-served basis. When it's gone, it's gone, and groups that need the

money then are out of luck."

Because money was fast disappearing, the committee requested a budget addition of Dunn $26,100 from the Student Affairs Bow. The board voted Oct. 23 to give them $10,000.

To help make sure that clubs use funding responsibly, Dunn is working on an amendment to committee policy in an effort to make clubs more accountable. He said the amendment would make funding harder to come by.

Dunn said that one possible change to the policy will have clubs pay back a certain percentage of any funding they receive, with the size of the percentage depending on the

money's use. Under current policy, clubs have to pay back half of what they receive for fundraisers, but none that they receive for anything else.

He said he hopes that the amendment will be put into policy by the beginning of spring semester.

Yolanda Ericksen, assistant dean of Student Life, said that the committee usually receives requests from about 12 clubs at each of its bimonthly meetings, with an average request of $400.

"I think they are looking at the requests critically," she said, "but to say to a club, 'Yon can't have the money,' would be defeating the purpose."

About $3,000 of the money the committee has spent this year is in loans to student clubs, Castonguay said.

Whether campus clubs should be worried that this years' funds for them may soon dry up depends up0n the upcoming actions of the committee, Ericksen said. see Funding page 4

Education was not the only victim of budget cuts. Romer eliminated 366 jobs Oct. 17 and slashed every state department to rectify the state's $101 million deficit and balance the budget.

Romer blamed the legislature's failure to enact new luxury taxes on cigarettes and their failure to make spending cuts for the drastic measures. a

Funding---trompage 3 "The Club Funding Committee still has a long way to go before they overspend this year's allowance." But she said that if the committee continues to spend money like it has over the last couple of months, it may not be long until its allowance for this year runs out.

Besides about $19,000 given to campus clubs for this year's funding requests, the committee has also had to spend about $2000 of its allowance to pay for last year's expenses, Castonguay said.

Ed Quayle, MSCD's general club coordinator, said that last year's committee promised more money to clubs than it had to give, and this year' s committee is paying for last year's overspending.

Records for last year' s allowances could not be found.

This year's committee "was suddenly faced with clubs who were saying that we had approved funding for them," Quayle said. "They said they had vendors screaming at them with invoices, but we didn't have any records to verify their claims."

Scrutiny - - - trom page 3 Newlon said he argued with Nice last summer about being elected to his position, but she dismissed his concerns and appointed him anyway.

But her issue with the law also has raised questions about her motive.

Newlon said that Oct. 15 was the first he'd heard of Nice wanting to remove him from the committee, when he received a letter of resignation from Nice ready for him to sign. This was shortly after the UCD student government voted against having a child care referendum-an issue Wiman spearheaded in SACAB. "She's using me as a pawn to get back at MSCD and CCD (for voting to have the referendum)," Newlon said.

"I am a SACAB member, not a student government member,"Newlon said. "Under SACAB bylaws, it doesn't state that she can fire me."

Nice plans to appoint UCD Vice President Kelly Martin in Newton's place until the college can have a formal election in November. Wiman said Martin would not be recognized if she were appointed to the committee.

Aaron Sanders, the other UCD member of SACAB, would be allowed to keep his position, even though he too was appointed

by Nice.

"If she even believes in this election, why isn't she appointing me as the interim member?"Newlonasked."Thepersonshe's appointing does not know the issues as well."

Wiman, who feels her motive is a personal issue driven from Holden's dislike for him, questions why, if she wanted to stay within the law, she would remove Newlon and leave Sanders.

"CU reps have never been elected," Wiman said. "Michael Newlon is doing a good job, but he's not being a yes-man to Roxanne."

Nice, who said her desire to remove Newlon comes from his own violation of SACAB bylaws by allowing a vote to remove Holden without him being present, said she's insulted by Wiman's comment.

"If I had the capacity to control people, I am in the wrong business," Nice said. "I welcome and respect people who challenge my views. I don't need to surround myself with yes-people."

Emerson Holliday, whose position as SACAB adviser is apparently under fire by UCO student government, has taken the matter to attorneys to be reviewed.

Holliday said that UCD has already set a precedent by not electing their SACAB representatives in the past.

One of the issues the attorneys will be looking at, Holliday said, is if state law was broken in Holden's ousting from the committee. An apparent loophole could be that Holden was never eligible to be a member of SACAB. "If anyone is breaking the law around here, it's UCD," Holliday said. a

THE METROPOLITAN

Faculty Senate plans for 5-year salary increase

Bike Day at Auraria

April M. Washington The Metropolitan

The MSCD Faculty Senate is working on a five-year plan to increase faculty salaries closer to peer institutions, but student services may be cut and class sizes may increase as a result.

Eighty percent of the budget is allotted for facu lty salaries, said Jerry Boswell, chair of finance. There is very little leeway to provide raises and other services due to budget cuts, he said.

"I would not be surprised ifthere won 't be any raises this year because of a tight budget year," Boswell said Oct. 15."There's only so much in the pot and costs keep increasing."

If other revenue means are not found to meet added costs, eventually facu lty will be reduced and student services will be cut.

The average salary for full MSCD professors is $45,744; the average for assistant professors is $34, 103; the average for part-time faculty is $561 per credit hour. All figures are based on June 1991 staffing pattern data.

Nationwide, however, full professors average $50,420; assistant professors average $37 ,530; and part-time instructors average $23,660, according to the American Association of Professors' 1990-91 data.

Concerns have been voiced that MSCD has a hard time attracting qualified faculty because its salary base is typically lower than those of peer institutions by 8 to l 0 percent.

"It's been known for a Jong time- Metro salaries have advertisement

been considerably low," Boswell said.

The Faculty Senate budget committee, at the request of David Williams, vice president of Academic Affairs, will develop a five-year plan in the hopes of improving all MSCD faculty salaries and student services, Boswell said.

"What we're trying to determine is what it would take to bring faculty salaries in line with that of peer institutions," Boswell said.

The issue is that MSCD is the lowest funded four-year college in Colorado, and state funds make up 60 percent of MSCD 's budget, Boswell said. The remaining 40 percent is taken from student fees and tuition, he said.

All the monies collected from tuitions and fees of the four consortium colleges, which include MSCD, Mesa State College, Adams State College and Western State College, is put in one pot and then divided between the four

schools.

MSCD's student enrollment has been steadily increasing with more money being put into the pot-without as much return.

The concern is how much will the college receive from the trustee of colleges in added funds for the additional students.

In essence, Boswell said, MSCD is subsidizing the three other colleges.

The committee will do a comparable study of MSCD's salaries with other peer colleges, which include the University of Michigan at Flint, the University of Nebraska at Omaha and the University of Texas at San Antonio.

"They ought to be comparing us to larger schools," said Stephen Leonard, history department chair. "Because we're 0 huge. We' re not just another college."

Representatives for three MSCD clubs who do not want to add a gayrights clause to their constitutions said they wouldn't care if access to student funds was cut from their groups.

A recent executive order published from MSCD Student Government President Chip Wiman stated that any MSCD club not including this statement in their constitutions would lose their funding privileges.

"I couldn't care less about funds," said Tad Liss, secretary for lntervarsity Christian Fellowship. "I just want the facilities to meet so we don't have to meet outside."

Laura Kulp, vice president of Menorah Ministries, and Ron Gustman, director of the Baptist Student Union, said they agree with Liss.

"As long as we can check out supplies, such as tables and a VCR, cuts wouldn't hurt us," Kulp said.

Gustman said: "They don'tfundreligious organizations, anyway. Religious groups are already discriminated against." · Neither Liss nor Kulp would say whether a homosexual person could become a member of their groups, but both said they doubted that any gays would ever wish to join either group.

CAMPUS LIFE Nighttime students feel left out of daytime services Don Mitchell The Metropolitan

â&#x20AC;˘

-

What happens when the lights go out in campus offices at 5 p.m.? What happens when a night student has some admissions, finandal aid or health service questions?

Some night students attending MSCD say they are neglected by the campus services that are offered only during the day.

Many students said they would like to have the Office of Admissions and Records, the Auraria Book Center and the Auraria Child Care Center remain open during their school hours-which generally are from 5:30 to 9 p.m.

"Anything that is accessible to students during the day should be at night," said Paul Macartney, a senior criminal justice major.

People are aying the same amount of tuition whether they attend day ornight school, Macartney said.

Jett Conner, the interim associate vice president of Academic Affairs, said, "We see to it that we go out of our way to try to accommodate night students an9 guarantee that the college services are open at least one night during the week."

The college services include Admissions and Records, Financial Aid Office and counseling. Further, most of the services are open until 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday. .

"If I am convinced that we are not doing enough to adequately provide a reasonable level of service to students at night, I will certainly work,as an adrninistrator,to see to it that we do," Conner said.

Night students also said they would like the bookstore to stay open past its 6 p.m. closing. Ed Schlichenmayer, assistant director of the Auraria Book Center, said that opening the store at night has been considered. "Every time we go into a consideration, we evaluate what's happened in the past," he said.

"If the convenience is offered, is the convenience accepted routinely?"

Schlichenmayer said. In past semesters, the bookstore rarely had customers after 7:30.

Schlichenmayer said that he has not received any student requests to remain open at night this semester. "Any request would be legitimately considered," he said .

Barbara Martinez, a senior accounting major, said she would like the Auraria Child Care Center to open during the evenings.

The assistant director of the Auraria Child Care Center, Sue Okerson, said the center is proposing evening care that would begin next spring.

The proposal, which the Auraria Board will vote on in November, is a pilot project that will care for 20 children during the evening throughout the spring semester. At the end of the semester, Okerson said,the project will be evaluated and expanded.

Besides services, many students would like MSCD to offer more night courses.

"Sometimes the selection is not as good at night, said Jim West, a senior accounting major. "When you reach the end, it's harder to find classes you need."

Kerry Schaper, a junior communications major, said, "Ith ink it's very regrettable that there's not a broader program."

Conner said there simply is not space for MSCD at night. When MSCD moved to Auraria, the school had an agreement with the University of Colorado at Denver. The agreement was that UCD classes would be at night, and MSCD classes would be during the day.

"The concept of that agreement carries forth," Conner said. However, "I think there is a lot of interest in expanding," he said.

The MSCD night program also received its share of positive comments.

"I think going at night motivates you more because it's more intense," Martinez said.

Further, many students said that people attending night school were very serious about their education.

It took the three students - one each from MSCD, CCD and UCO - an average of nine minutes and 22 seconds to find the proper bins on campus.

And all three students said that at least once they wanted to give up.

"I don't even know where to start," saic; P:u. 1 Griego, a psychology major .md freshman at CCD, as he walked from his starting point in the South Classroom toward the library. "I don't even know what I'm looking for."

Linda Lockhart, an English major and senior at MSCD, found a place to recycle an aluminum can easily. She walked down a flight of stairs from the West Class-

room lounge where she started and deposited the can in a blue Pepsi recycling bin one minute and one second later.

Finding a place for the office paper and newspaper was another task.

"I really don't have any idea of where to go for paper recycling,'' Lockhart said after finding a place for her empty Mountain Dew can.

"I really don't. So if you want to wander around for 1O minutes ... " Lockhart's not-so-straight path led to the Student Union, where she found a place forthe newspaper-by the upstairs door, and a

Ten minutes and 20 seconds "I figured if I went to the Student Union there'd be places to after he started, Jones found a recycle there," Lockhart said. "But place to recycle his newspaperhow many people are going to down the Office of Student Publiwalk all the way across campus cations hallway. to recycle something?"

Jeff Jones, a sophomore and UCO pre-journalism major, said he recycles cans at home, but has had trouble finding places to recycle them on campus.

"You know, I actually went through this yesterday," Jones said in front of the library when- he heard the details of what he had just volunteered for. "I tried to find a place to throw a pop can."

When asked where he ended up, Jones said, "I just ended up tossing it in the trash."

Jones, who recycles computer paper in the Although discouraged, Jones North Classroom computer lab, found that spot easily, but like said he'd still like to recycle on Lockhart and Griego, went to the campus.

Recycling will spread to entire campus After a successful pilot project by the CoPIRG, recycling will soon be campuswide under the management of AHEC. AHEC is in the process of developing a logo 'for the project, but as the volunteers demonstrated, its first concern should be to make more recycling bins available to students.

Ajayi Harris, who headed the CoPIRG pilot program for recycling, said that AHEC will have problems in its first months of the campaign.

Contamination, flies and dirty bins are problems the program encountered.

CoPIRG, which is made up of student volunteers, also had prob-

lems collecting all of the recycled materials.

"That was part of our problem, we didn't have the manpower to run it campuswide," Harris said.

So after proving to the campus that recycling could be done, CoPIRG turned over the reigns to AHEC. AHEC will start its campuswide recycling program mid-November.

Approximately 100 bins that take paper, newspaper and cans will be on campus.

The winning designer in AHEC's logo contest will be paid $100.

"One of the things about campuswide recycling is that you have to have it everywhere," Harris said. "People want to recycle."

EDITORIAL

Adult issues obscured by Fisher-Price egos Lawrence Jones Editor

It has often been said that a university or college is a microcosm of the real world, but more often than not it is more like a giant nursery filled with belligerent children.

These children are not here to learn.

They stay in college just so they can have the opportunity to bolster their own egos by challenging authority figures without fear of retribution.

There's the rub.

When children misbehave they are spanked or slapped. When kids misbehave they are grounded or forbidden from the TV. When teen-agers misbehave they lose their driving privileges.

When college students disrespect those in authority, blatantly misuse the funds and trust of their fellow students and flagrantly abuse their personal power on campus they move on to other positions and continue their ch ildish behavior often encouraged by others of the same ilk.

How will these people ever learn if our administration refuses to do anything about their indiscretions and abuse of power? The sad answer is that they won't, until they finally go out into the

real world of bosses and colleagues.

Then they w ill discover that their tantrums, falsehoods and mismanagements will not only be intolerable, but also quickly punished.

Certainly, we should not return to the days of the old schoolmaster who ruled with an iron hand, but these "children" should be held answerable路 for their actions. They should learn that mature behavior does not mean "caving in to the administration," but rather that one has the intelligence to find ways of solving problems without resorting to profanity, falsehood or mismanagement.

The administration also must be held answerable. They have an obligation to ensure that student funds are used correctly and that the student body is being

taken care of by people who care - not by people with their own agendas and power pursuits. The administration must be constantly challenged by the entire student body to work for the betterment of our education, learning atmosphere and environment. That's their job.

Higher education is our opportunity to earn a degree. It is our chance to learn and experience in our chosen field of endeavor, or perhaps just find out what our niche in society is. It is our chance to hungrily consume everything that our teachers throw at us. It is our obligation and right to learn, not theirs to teach. It is a time to get inyolved with the world and see what it has to offer.

That's why we are at Metropolitan State College of Denver.

VIEWPOINT Control of enrollment can be an opportunity, not crisis A crisis that is not also an opportunity is simply a catastrophe, so the need of MSCD to find a way of limiting enrollment, being no catastrophe, must be an opportunity. One potentially efficient means of controlling enrollment, setting earlier deadlines for applications, has somtimes been questioned because it is thought to create a disproportionate hardship for nontraditional students who tend to make the decision to attend college at the last moment. However, a further question needs to be asked: How genuine a favor do we do such students by accepting their applications at a time when the courses they most need to take are full, and many of the general

studiescoursesdesignedtoto help them lay a sound education foundation are precluded by pre-requisites for those very courses are full ?

Here is where the opportunity lies: Give to eligible students who apply after the deadline an "early acceptance" status that will guarantee them first priority for registration the following semester provided they complete a special preparation program during the current semester. This program would begin with an unhurried administration of the preassessment tests after the currently accepted students have been taken care of (thus relieving some of the pressure at the beginning of the following semes-

Thom's corner

1Ft1漏

ter). The next step would be methodical advising, based not only upon the preassessment scores but also upon interviews exploring each student's aspirations and attitudes. Special sessions would be provided for those needing better understanding of study skills, time management, or financial aid. For those in need of remedial course work, it seems likely that CCD, with its flexible enrollment policies, might be able to offer tenweek courses corresponding to identified needs.

In the end, the following semester should see a cadre of students whose various disadvantages have been offset by carefully tailored preparation and a

pre-registration process that guarantees needed courses at practical times.

The present practice of accepting last-minute applications (even after classes have begun) almost invariably produces the frustrations of missed first class meetings, awkward schedules, and inappropriate courses, a practice guaranteeing counter-productive experiences that bode ill for students who already have enough disadvantages to overcome. Here is a signal opportunity to enhance the prospects of academic success for many of the students whom MSCD was particularly founded to serve.

John Spradley, MSCD English Dept.

LETTERS Ride bikes to save the Earth Editor, The American energy policy has been a major debate lately. Did we gotowarforoil? Is it worth drilling in the Arctic considering the environmental impact? Air pollution? Major oil spills?

President Bush recently said that we need to become less reliant on foreign oil and increase domestic drilling of oil, but does this address the real issue of energy? I say not.

The real problem is Americans use their automobiles too much. October is Energy Awareness month, so let's stop sitting on our asses behind the wheel of an air polluting, gas guzzling piece of steel and start riding a bicycle.

By riding a bicycle we solve a lot of our major environmental problems. We cut our need for oil dramatically, and this in return would stop the drilling of oil in environmentally sensitive areas. It would cut the chances of a major oil spill.

In order for this to happen more people need to start riding there bikes in this country. Most Americans live within five miles of school, work or places of business yet less than 1 percent use their bicycles for these short trips.

I urge you to join the millions of people on this planet who ride their bicycles not only for pleasure but for daily transportation. Let's make the car a thing of the past before we become a thing of the past.

LETTERS Some items missing from "free lunch" story, says senate Editor, Lunch is on me! That's right. The first Metro Student to come up to the Student Government office (340C in the Student Union) and ask me, "_What's going on in Student Government?" gets to eat my "Free Lunch" after our next Senate meeting (11/6/91 ).

Here are some facts conspicuously absent from last week's story about the Food Card Bill: 1) The $2,400 program is payment for Thirty (!)uncompensated members of Student Government, including the Judicial Branch as well as the Senate.

Compare that to $28,000 in salaries for our Seven member Executive Branch.

2)The Bill was amended to stipulate that office hours must be held in order to qualify for the four dollar food credit.

3)The program is intended as compensation for students who are already working hard, not as an incentive to show up for Senate meetings.

4)You can watch the Senate debate the issue.

Just tune into your local ACTV monitor 10/24 thru 10/ 29 at 4 p.m. Thursday and 3 p.m. Friday. We've designed a program called Metro-Span that will periodically fill you in on Student Government activities.

It was very disappointing that, of all the issues that Student Government is working on, this was chosen as a front-page story. What about the possibility of a mid-year tuition hike? What about the multi-million dollar Day-Care Project being proposed? How will the new Light-Rail Project affect us? Should we start an RTD Ridership Program similar to CU's? When will our recycling program finally be implemented?

These strike me as the issues that everyone should be asking about. You are our constituents. Tell us what to work on. Ask us what's happening. We'll do lunch!

Senator Charles Buchanan, MSCD student government

Thomas was found guilty, but not in a 'fair' court of law Editor, Americans have forgotten the purpose for which the "confirmation hearings" are held. They are held to confirm or not confirm a nominated supreme court justice. The purpose is not to find someone guilty or innocent of criminal wrongdoing.

The alleged activities against Justice Thomas should not have forced him to be put under the watchful eyes of all Americans, preying upon him like hungry tigers salivating over a piece of raw meat. If Professor Hill wanted to pres~ charges against Justice Thomas she had 1o years in which to do so. Whether or not Justice Thomas actually engaged in the activities for which he was accused was not a question for the confirmation committee, but a question to be decided by a court of law. Our legal system is set up in such a way that if it is determined, beyond a reasonable

doubt, that someone committed an illegal act, then and only then should they be found guilty. Justice Thomas has never been afforded this privilege guaranteed to him by the U.S. Constitution. Justice Thomas has been found guilty, in the eyes of many Americans, because of the public stoning he received.

Professor Hill is a media heroine and will benefit for her heroism for years to come. TV ratings skyrocketed during the "bashing sessions" and I am sure newspaper sales increased at a similar rate.

I really hope that someday members of the "public jury" are charged with criminal allegations. Then maybe they will understand, believe in and support the concept guaranteed to us as U.S. citizens of "innocent until proven guilty."

Congrats Justice Thomas!!!

Krissy Braun, MSCD student trustee

Lutheran Students at Auraria welcomes everyone, not opposed.to new anti-discrimination clause for clubs Editor, I am saddened to see so much opposition to the "Anti-Discriminiation," clause by Christian clubs here at Metropolitan State College. As the president of a Christian club, I wonder what Christ would say about the resistance now taking place. I think he would be saddened too.

In my opinion, the purposeful exclusion of ANYONE from a Christian fellowship is in contradiction of Christ's own teachings. Jesus was careful to warn his followers not to judge others (Mt. 7: 1-5). When confronted by "Righteous," people, he even said "If anyone of you is without sin, let that be the one to throw the first stone." (Jn. 8: 7) Wherever he traveled, Jesus ate, stayed with, and healed people who society had condemned; much as our present society condemns Homosexuals. Given this, it puzzles me how organizations who claim to pattern themselves after Jesus can deny fellowship to people, no matter how sinfull they perceive them to be.

Many of the leaders of other Christian clubs have said that this amendment somehow legitimizes Homosexuality against their Religious beliefs. Obviously, that is not the intent of the amendment. This measure

13

THE METROPOLITAN

is intended to promote justice and tolerance towards all people. Frankly the idea that you have to be in total doctrinal agreement to be included in a Christian fellowship scares me very much, and runs contrary to the Bible and the principals that this country claims to hold dear. You shouldn"t have to agree that Homosexuality is a sin to be a Christian or to participate in a club.

I'd like to close with a quote by Jody Andrade in The Metropolitan (Oct. 11 ). She paraphrased a cartoon by saying, "Where would hate be without Organized Religion?" Unfortunately, Organized Religion has allied itself too many times with the forces of Fear and Hatred. But I'd like to offer a club which is willing to accept rather than fear. It's name is Lutheran Students at Auraria, but you don't have to be Lutheran to attend. It's open to ALL students from differing faiths, backgrounds, and traditions. It is my sincere hope that by taking this step and supporting the "Anti-Discrimination" clause, we may lead the way to a brighter future where religion may better accomplish what it is intended to do; help the oppressed and care for EVERYONE! Jerry Kliner, President, Lutheran Students at Auraria

Dear Counselor, I'm 32 years old and recently had a visit from my 24 year old sister. We are in the process of getting to know one another better but our differences are getting in the way of our communication and it is very difficult for us to build a good relationship. I left home at an early age and she resents me for not being around to be her "big sister". After I left, my sister and my father developed a bad relationship which has resulted in her hating him. I did not have the same experience with him. Is there anything I can do to alleviate some of the tension that keeps interfering with our efforts to become closer?

Bewildered Sister Dear Bewildered Sister, With limited amount of information presented, it seems that you and your sister are focusing on the differences within your relationship and are disregarding areas that you may have in common. These differences are the negative aspects and experiences of your past. The difficulties and frustration you are experiencing are the result from your approach to interacting with each other ratherthan your feelings about each other.

The tendency to live in the past interferes with developing or maintaining satisfying relationships. Most people who have siblings have at least one memory of that brother or sister being unmercifully mean and/or inconsiderate. This is an unfortunate but fairly common phenomena between siblings that usually gets put into a more humorous perspective as they grow older. When these experiences become the central point of reference when relating to each other, problems are the inevitable result.

Resolution of this kind of problem comes from focusing in the present. You have both changed over the years. Make a mutual commitment to shift your conversations to who you are today, the things you are currently doing, and your current likes and dislikes. The memories of the past will always be there but they will be easier to discuss if your relationship has a solid foundation in the here-and-now.

Another area that interferes in your relationships is focusing on the things that are negative. Sometimes we become so involved with our problems and the painful and uncomfortable feelings that accompany them, we disregard the positives that may be staring us in the face. When we allow ourselves to shift to asking "What is right?" rather than "Whal is wrong?", we change our perspective and therefore our feeJings. Can you feel bad while you are thinking about something good?

Can you feel good while you are thinkig about something bad? It is difficult to do. With your sister, agree to discuss the positive experiences and memories that you both have.

FEATURES Counseling center programs help students cope with life's problems L. M. Pollock The Metropolitan

The MSCD Counseling Center has a variety of programs catering to students who are interested in self-improvement, problem solving and to those who just need someone to talk to.

The main point that Bobbi Vollmer, the center's acting director, hopes to convey is that "you don't always have to do everything yourself."

"Most people could benefit at some point in their lives by seeking counseling," she said.

The center deals with all aspects of advisement, ranging from self-improvement to crisis situations. Vollmer said that at least half of the students who come in for assistance are in a crisis situation. She said that this is because "people's lives aren't simple."

To relieve some of the stress day-to-day living can impose, the center developed new groups directed toward certain topics.

Setting up private counseling sessions works the same way as getting into a group, but the first meeting can be on a walk-in basis,Vollmer said.

After the initial intake, the client and counselor decide whether the individual

may be referred to other appropriate agencies for assisMSCD tance.

The center, loCOUNS.E LING cated in CN 203, has CENTER regular office hours GftOOllS from 8 a.m. - 5 p.m.

Monday through Friday. If the situation is an emergency and the individual cannot wait until the next scheduled appointment, two hot lines are recommended: The counseling center offers a variety of help. LauraG~rom1 i lheMeVopolitan Bethesda Crisis and Support Line at 758would benefit more by participating in a 1123 or the Denver General Emergency number, 893-7001; both can be called for group forum or continue private sessions.

Education key to fightin·g AIDS epidemic J. Featherstone The Metropolitan

r

-.

As National AIDS Awareness Month, comes to an end, student interest in AIDS awareness seems to have lulled.

Yet, the need for AIDS education seems to be a significant factor in preventing the spread of the disease.

The United States has entered into its second decade with AIDS, and the National Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta reported 1.5 billion people have been infected with the mv virus.

In 1990, the surgeon general reported that between 25,000 and 35,000 of the l3 million college students nationwide are HIV positive, many who could have contracted the virus during their teen years. · .

Teens at risk is the focus of the sixth educational campaign designed by the AIDS Coalition for Education. ACE is a coalition of individuals, businesses, agencies and organizations that work to improve HIVIAIDS education in Colorado.

Of the l ,910 reported cases of AIDS in Colorado, IO are among 10- to 19-year-olds, while the figure jumps to 374 for 20- to 29year-olds.

Peter Ralin, director of the AIDS Information Service at the Department of Health said that although a vast majority of the publicisawareofthediseaseandit'ssources,

"Behavior modification is a three step process," Ralin said. "The first step is to provide information, second is to provide the skills and tools, and third, we must change societal and subcultural norms."

In Colorado, schools are their own authorities on Laura Gragg-Tom1 / The Metropolitan what is taught The Rev.

Music Review Brooks lassos No. 1 spot with 'Ropin' The Wind' Jenny Jenny Music Writer Wind isn 't the only thing Garth Brooks is ropin' these days. With his new release, Ropin' The Wind, he seems to have secured his rope tightly around the No. l position on Billboard's album chart, where he debuted three weeks ago. Guns N' Roses proved to be nothing more than a temporary nuisance when they rudely interrupted Brooks' reign after only one week. But Brooks' strong following proved that mainstream bands aren't the only ones that can top the chartstwo weeks later he's back on top.

Ropin' The Wind is full of refreshing, simple songs that provide for a full CD of good music. Brooks' crystal-clear voice is outstanding on every track as he sings about heartache, heartbreak and being in love.

The fust single, "Rodeo," sounds more

like light rock than country and westemexcept for the lyrics. "You know the woman wants her cowboy like he wants his rodeo."

The arrangement is very simple and spotlights Brooks' resplendent voice centered high above the music.

"Papa Loved Marna" kicks off with a hearty acoustic guitar and doesn't slow down.

The upbeat tempo takes you quickly through the sorrowful tale of his parents' break-up.

Love doesn't fare well anywhere on this CD. "Burning Bridges" is about a confused man too anxious to ever give love a chance.

lyrics, it's a good song featuring beautiful harmony vocals from Trisha Yearwood. The ballads on Ropin' are smooth, soothing songs that find their strength in Brooks' comforting voice. On "In Lonesome Dove," Brooks resembles John Denver, with his singing undermining the rest of the mix. The harmonizing vocals on this track are also spectacular, but the story is what really gives "In Lonesome Dove" its character. The song is like an old-western legend passed on from generation to generation. The slow, faint beat of the drum and echoes of a sympathetic violin set the scene for the fable of a heroic Texas Ranger killed in the wild west, leaving only distant memories and his undying legend to his son and wife.

Another ballad, "Shameless," written by Billy Joel, features electric guitars and a stronger beat than any of the other songs on Ropin'. The gritty, raspy vocals make "Shameless" more of a heartfelt rock song than what you'd normally classify as coun-

ART National children's art exhibit stops at MSCD president of Institutional Advancement at MSCD. The college received more than 1,000 pieces of art from the Southwest region-including Colorado, Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Louisiana, and Arkansas-and chose 80 pieces to exhibit.

After leaving tht Center for the Visual Arts, the exhibition will travel to Texas and Oklahoma, then Crayola gets the original artwork.

The opening reception is by invitation only, and will be attended by the exhibiting artists, their parents and their teachers. MSCD has already received reservations from as far as Texas to participate in the opening reception.

The exhibition, supported by MSCD, Crayola and local businesses and corporations, is open to the public from Nov. 5-29. "We're going to be doing a wonderful mural...that children can add to every Saturday in

Imagine an art show, dedicated to all children who make their dreams real through images and objects. An exhibition of art that is both thoughtful and innocent, both colorful and lively, done by artists who have yet to study formalism or color theory.

Imagine the Binney and Smith Crayola Dream-Makers exhibition. A show so completely free of inhibitions that it could only be done by children-and it is.

The Dream-Makers exhibition is a collection of art by students, grades K-6, throughout the Southwest region of the United States. The artwork was chosen by a jury, and the winning entries will be presented at the MSCD Center for the Visual Arts from Nov. 5 through Nov. 29.

The force behind MSCD being chosen as one of five host sites in the United States to exhibit this collection was Susan Josepher, an MSCD art education professor and chair of the art department. "Not all art is taught in S. Elliot Fey I The Metropoitan classrooms, in school districts," Josepher Sally Perisho places a crayon and watercolor abstract created by one of the child artists, Danielle.

After four years of college in New York City, Ruderman began teaching at Harlem Prep School, a tough school for local high school dropouts.

On her first day, she started lecturing on Shakespeare. One by one, the students walked out. Before long, Ruderman was left with an empty room.

"I started to cry and thought, ' Oh my God, what have I done?"' But Ruderman proved tougher than many of those kids.

She went into the hall, where students were lounging on couches, and promptly sat down with them. She discovered they didn't want a lecture, but wanted discussions on issues that related to literature and poetry.

Soon the whole class was gathered around.

"That's when I started being a teacher," said Ruderman, "because I felt so comfortable. I finally found something that meant something to the students. Those kids taught me how to be a teacher."

So began her career of 21-plus years.

Ruderman left New York City in 1970, but not because of the Harlem Prep students.

"There comes a time when you have to either leave New York or you're going to spend the rest of your life there," she said.

So she packed her VW and headed for

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

MSCD superfan No. 1 in stands -

'

.. .

,,

Will Hinton Sports Editor Last week I was wandering aimlessly through the halls of the athletic department when a familiar face popped out of Ofle of the offices.

"You know my girls are playing tonight."

"Yeah, I know they're playing, Rick, I'll be there."

"You better be there, my girls are gonna win. I'll be there, I'm working."

He is Rick Glatiotis and his girls are the 19th-ranked MSCD volleyball team.

Every team, whether it be pro or college, has a signature fan. The Nuggets used to have an elderly blind man who went to all the games with his guide dog and listened to the action on the radio. Unfortunately for the Broncos they have that headcase in the orange and blue leprechaun suit. Duke basketball has the Cameron crazy with the ball and hoop on his head .

MSCD has Rick.

He is truly a superfan, but he differs from most signature fans in two ways. For one, he doesn't follow professional sports at all.

And, very secondly, he is mentally retarded and dyslexic.

Everyone who supports MSCD athletics even a little bit knows him, if not by name, by face. He has been a fixture at Roadrunner athletic events for years.

He is a short, bent figure who always wears baggy pants and an MSCD Sports Information shirt that I think he showers in.

His dark hair is closely cropped and he never has a beard but is never clean shaven. His

Just going to the games wasn 't enough for Rick though, so he started volunteering at the MSCD Sports Information Office a few years ago.

"He is very valuable because he'll do anything for you," said MSCD Sports Information Director Greg Smith. "He doesn't get paid, he does it just for his love of Metro State athletics. He's a great asset."

He helps doing odd jobs around the office and as a ball person at the volleyball games. While the other ball people appear to treat the task as a chore, Rick takes great pride in retrieving the balls.

Pride is a big part of Rick ' s persona.

He knows he is program, a job he MSCD's No. 1 fan, Rick Glatiotis. loved because, different, but "You get to see the teams while you work." he adamantly denies he is handicapped. Ask He has been MSCD's No. 1 fan ever since. if he is and he won't get upset, he'll just Rick left MSCD for a plane catering job confidently reply, "Nope." He attended the at Stapleton airport, but his loyalty stayed. Laradon Hall Society for Exceptional Chil-

walk is clumsy but at the same time confident.

And then there is his trademark smile.

Win or lose, it's always there lighting up the gym, rendering the new Events Center lighting system unnecessary.

Rick, 34, is an extremely independent person who lives on his own, works and travels around the city efficiently, facts that are not impressive, but rather expected if you know him.

He grew up going to sporting events at the University of Denver with his parents and later worked in the food services program there.

His school allegiance changed to MSCD when he took a job in the Student Union cafeteria food services

and life

dren and Adults, a school for the mentally disabled. While there he enrolled in the vocational studies program, where he specialized in food services, the trade that serves him today.

Rick knows every athlete and coach by name, and they all know him. More importantly, they appreciate him.

"He's always there, cheering," said senior baseball player Andy Dewett, who has known Rick the fan for four years. "He never has anything negative to say, like a lot of other fans do."

As for bis favorite sport, he claims "his girls" play it. "Volleyball is my favorite. I love volleyball. I got a lot of good friends on the volleyball team."

Spying a few men's soccer players in the stands, Rick, ever the diplomat, quickly adds, "I like my soccer guys too." And the basketball teams, and the women's soccer, and the baseball, "and even the swimming."

But right now, a few minutes before the MSCD-Colorado Christian game, he likes volleyball the most, and that is what is so great about Rick. He lives for the moment, never obsessing over a loss or fixating on a victory. It is the game and his involvement, no matter how remote, that he loves.

In this world of me-first athletes, win-atall-costs attitudes and blatant corruption, Rick is a godsend. He is sports in its most fundamentally pure form.

He is the Garden of Eden before sports ate the apple.

'Tm a Roadrunner. llove the sports here.

I am the biggest (MSCD) fan."

If only attitudes were contagious.

Women falter, men move forward in CAC title chase Will Hinton Sports Editor In a busy weekend of MSCD soccer, the men' s team strengthened its claim as the best team in the Colorado Athletic Conference, but the women went into a tailspin that they may not be able to recover from.

The men's team reached the high point of its season with a 5-0 humiliation of archrival University of Denver at the Auraria fields Oct. 19.

Team scoring leader Leonard Trujillo started the Roadrunner scoring barrage just 45 seconds into the game with a rocket that beat DU goalie Rrian Farrell on the inside post.

Tri-1.:aptain John Talyat made the score 2-0 with a shot that left his foot from outside the penalty box and bounced three times through a crowded goal area before finding the back of the net.

Also scoring were Adam Smith, Doug Clark and Paul Mackin. Smith and Clark each added two assists.

With the victory over DU the 'Runners are in the driver's seat to wrap up the conference regular season title and give themselves a No. I seed in the CAC touma-

ment. The team improved its record to 9-6-1, 6-0 in the CAC. Where the men flourished the women floundered.

The team started off the weekend with a back-breaking 3-0 loss to CAC rival DU on the road Oct. 19, and then was pummeled by WisconsinMadison 4-0 the next day , dropping its record to 6:5-1.

The loss to Wisconsin was to be expected since the Badgers are a traditional CAA Di vis ion I powerhouse, but the loss to DU was not so Lauro Gragg-Toma I The metropoilan easy to swallow.

Sports Briefs Volleyball team wins in Tampa: The 19th-ranked MSCD women's volleyball team traveled to Florida Oct. 18 and 19 and left the Tampa Invitational Tournament with a 3-2 record, 24-11 overall.

The Roadrunners started off with a win over Florida Atlantic, but ended the first day with a loss to a tough Florida Southern squad. The following day the team defeated Purdue-Fort Wayne (Ind.) and Ashland (Ohio), but the tournament ended on a down note with a loss to the nation's No. 7 team and tournament host, Tampa.

Unfortunately, the 'Runners' strong performance in Florida was spoiled by a loss Oct 22 to conference foe and l 0th-ranked Regis University. The loss ended any hopes

of winning the Colorado Athletic Conference title, and leaves a good showing at the upcoming Air Force Premier Tournament as the team's only chance at making the NCAA Division II playoffs.

Inglee Redshirts: Senior middle hitter and co-captain Darcie lnglee has decided to redshirt due to a thumb injury that bas kept her off the court since Sept. 21. lnglee is the second volleyball player lost to a medical redshirt this year. The decision leaves Jennifer Drees as the only senior on the team.

Rugby suffers another loss: The MSCD Rugby Club lost to the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley Oct. 19, dropping its record to 2-7.

Basketball team to start season ranked

nationally: The MSCD men's basketball team has been ranked nationally in two NCAA Division II preseason polls. The Roadrunners are ranked 20th in the NCAA Division II coaches poll, and are No. 9 in Basketball Digest. The team's first test of the season will come Nov. 4 against the Latvian National Team at the Events Center at4 p.m.

Women's soccer faces tough finale: It can't be said that the MSCD women's soccer team played a creampuff schedule this year. It played NCAA Division I pow-· erhouse Wisconsin-Madison in its last home game and will end the season on the road playing two more Division I teams in Arkansas and Creighton.

Senior captain thrives on responsibility, pressure Chris Caylor The Metropolitan

~

~

As one might expect, MSCD volleyball star Jennifer Drees was happy about moving from Montana to Denver. She said she did it to keep her sanity.

Drees played volleyball at Montana Tech for two years before moving to Denver to play for the Roadrunners. She had the same coach in both states: MSCD Head Coach Rhonda McMullen.

"I admire Rhonda," Drees, 21, said. "She coaches the way I want to eventually. I don't think I could handle playing for another coach."

Already, Drees is coaching volleyball.

Last year, she coached the Colorado Foothills, a team of 16-year-olds. She said she's not c~rtain she will coach after this season ends, but ifgiven the opportunity, she would.

Drees was one of only two seniors on the volleyball team at the beginning of the year, but with fellow senior Darcie Inglee's season ending thumb injury, Drees is the only team captain on the court. Drees' responsibility has increased from the start of the year, but it doesn't bother her.

"I thrive on the pressure," she said. "I actually enjoy all the responsibility. I have to keep all the other players pumped up. I've got so much faith in this whole team, even if I don't show it all the time. I really think we're gelling."

As the team's setter, Drees is responsible for setting up kills for other players. She is sort of the midpoint in the offensive attack, between the initial pass and the final kill.

Drees' added responsibility as team leader has not hurt her statistics. She is 10th in the

Colorado Athletic Conference in attack percentage and second in assists per game, proof of her setting skills.

Last year, Drees' first with the 'Runners, she said she didn't feel completely comfortable. Although she was one of the elder players, she was new. The lack ofahomecourt alsocaused a "homeless" feeling which the new Events Center has remedied.

Drees is a California native, · where she was an all-region player in high school before deciding to attend Montana Tech.

When McMullen was hired at MSCD, Drees followed.

"I'd like to be able to help someone like a golfer who has trouble with his game," she said. "Most of that is a mental thing, not physical. And I'd love to be able to go to work and wear sweats."

One of her roommates in the athletic "dorms"-the apartments on 11th and Inca where many of the MSCD athletes live- is teammate Natalie Dittmer, who is also Drees' best friend.

When she's not on the court or studying,

With the injuries and brutal schedule the team bas endured, Drees is proud of what the team has accomplished.

"Keeping this team together has been so tough," she said. "There is so much fight on this team. Some of the players (including Drees) ~ave played with a virus, Darcie's hurt, Natalie's hurt, and we never get a break in the schedule. Even if we play a much weaker team, we play two matches in a day, so it's almost tougher than playing a strong team."

Asked if she could change one thing about the team, Drees said sometimes the team can be "way too nice (on the court).

Sometimes I wish they were a bunch of bitches instead. Sometimes."

Drees explained how a recent dispute between herself and a rival setter in warmups showed how well the team can play when it is mad.

"She told her hitters to hit me in warmups. We bated them so much after that that we killed them, and we had fun doing it."

She is realistic about the Roadrunners' chances in the CAC and possibly the NCAA post-season tournament as well.

Drees said two losses to Regis University were tough, but she kept a possitive outlook.

"If everything goes our way, and we have no more injuries and we all work together, we could be really good."

TO: From: Re:

All Campus Faculty The ABC Textbook Office Spring Textbook Authorizations

Have you made your text selections for spring semester? Help your students by placing them soon!

Fall semester texts will be sent back to the publishers beginning the first week of November.

By having your spring authorization on file, we'll know if a title will be used next semester and will not unnecessarily return it.

The textbook office also compiles a comprehensive ''buy back" list of titles needed for spring and can offer students the best prices for used books that are included on this list.

By placing your order early, problems with shipping delays and publishers running out of stock may be avoided, better assuring that books will be on the shelves when classes start.

Please drop your spring authorization by the textbook office or call us at x-3706.

Thanks to the faculty who have already placed orders!
