Ex-student government chief Holden defends record; others find fault

Winter's trick was no treat

Winter struck with a vengeance this week, creating traffic and pedestrian problems throughout Denver. Students on the Auraria campus scrambled for cover trying to escape the wind and snow Ocl 28.

Last year's MSCD student government under fonner President Dan Holden spent 67 percent more on "supplies" than on students, buying more supplies than the previous three student government administrations combined. A review of budget documents shows that MSCD students each contributed $3 .18 from their student fees to fund rhe 1990-91 student government. In tum, an average of 28 cents per student was spent for activities, events and giveaways. Holden defended spending just 9 percent of budgeted funds on students, saying the purpose of student government is not to provide activities, but to represent students on issues. "Student Activities is responsible for programming events, bringing in speakers, doing lecture series - the whole nine yards," Holden said. "You are asking me to justify my entire year in like, two sentences. I would say that we did what we felt needed. to be done." However, the current student government has allocated only 3.6 percent of its budget for office supplies while budgeting 41 percent for activities, events and programs for students.

NEWS Briefly Many fee increase proposals expected next fall semester

â&#x20AC;˘

MSCD students should watch out for several proposed fee hikes next fall, said Karen Thorpe, dean of Student Life, Oct. 23 at an MSCD student senate meeting. Several factions, including child care and diverse clubs, will probably stage referendums next year to ask students for more money. Students should be aware that not only one group may ask them to increase their fees, Thorpe said. Unlike tuition, fees cannot be raised without first asking students through referendums. After that formal procedure, however, fees can be increased regardless of a referendum's outcome.

APS gains two officers

Auraria Public Safety added two commissioned police officers to its team Oct. 23. Monique Seaverson and Keith Sutton took their oath of office from JoAnn Soker, executive vice president for Administration at AHEC. Seaverson graduated from MSCD in 1989 and has a bach_elor of science degree in criminal just ice. She received police officer certification from the ColoSeaverson rado Law Enforcement Training Academy Sept. 27. Sutton attended MSCD and received his certification Aug. 30. Both officers distinguished themselves during their required Auraria Campus training period. Seaverson pursued and apprehended a suspect wanted in connection with a knife fight that took place on campus Oct. 8. Sutton apprehended a group of five suspects at gunpoint who were wanted in connection with an auto theft and stolen license plates.

Brown blasts 'beggars, prostitutes' Don Mitchell The Metropolitan Corruption dominates political campaigns because candidates are obsessed with raising money for TV ads, said former California Gov.Jerry Brown. "We have evolved a system that turns candidates into beggars and prostitutes to get the money from the few to pay television for permission to use the public airwaves that belong to us in the first place," Brown said Oct. 28 in a speech that brought his presidential campaign to the Auraria Campus. Brown, who said he will not accept any contribution of more than$ I 00, said: "The people are supposed to have some power. I want to be a catalyst for real change and bring the power back to the people." Brown intends to bring power back to the people by limiting campaign financing and by concentrating on issues that make a difference. Issues making a difference include energy, higher education and abortion, Brown said. "We must get to the heart of problems." The heart of the energy problem is oil, he said. "There is no leadership in Washington to move this country away from fossil fuel ," Brown said.

Democratic presidential candidate Jerry Brown brought his campaign to Auraria Oct. 28. Oil companies contribute money to political campaigns. Therefore, candidates do not want to do anything to destroy that financial relationship, Brown said. "Government is dysfunctional because it presides over a continuing assault on the natural resources that sustain us," he said. "If we don ' t invent alternative fuel ... you won ' t have a country in the future that your parents experienced." Another issue of concern is higher education. Brown sighed as he said that teachers are not teachingenough,saying teachers

"A woman should have the right to control her own body without government interference," Brown said to an applauding audience. Brown then returned to the problem campaign funding.

Overcome by a sea of graduation agreements and transfer evaluations, the Office of Admissions and Records at MSCD is finding it hard to stay afloat without the aid of computers. The office lacks the time and people to keep up with the paperwork, so the current record-keeping system is on the verge of collapse. "There's not enough people to stay ahead of the game," said Joe Megeath, chair ofcomputer management science at MSCD. "Right now, they're processing summer of 1992 agreements. They're about a year behind." A group of MSCD faculty and administrators has been trying to develop and install the Academic Progress Report, a database system that would network the college's major and minor departments where students' academic status would be immediately accessible. The system is expected to be on-line by the end of the semester. Currently, the department manually processes graduation agreements and transfer-student information. The 1990-91 general studies revisions caused 3,000 to 5,000 undeclared students to fear not graduating on time and submit agreements. The processing system, which necessitates wading through an assortment of college catalogs to see if classes are compatible with agreements, became backlogged because the students panicked, said Ken Curtis, associate vice president and dean of Admissions and Records. "Yeah, we got behind," Curtis said. " We weren' t able to handle the surge of agreement applications. It's time-consuming and a I long process." See Network page 7

Job search may pan out with office's assistance Curt Olson The Metropolitan For the first time in 11 years, MSCD students have career counselors dedicated solely to them through the Career Resources Center. In the past, the department was organized to help all Auraria students. Under the new alignment, each of Auraria Campus' three colleges has counselors dedicated to its students. Located in Arts Building 177, the department is a virtual gold mine of information for job-hunting students. Its library contains profiles of Colorado companies as well as national employers. The studies tell prospective employees about the company and what it looks for in employees. Students can find information on jobs around the country as well as salaries in other cities. 'The people are very personal about it," said Patrick Olofindayo. "They take great interest in what they're doing."

Shock value tested in bad art Todd Burgess The Metropolitan

Last week flies crawled up the walls of the Arts Building, a person with a severed head died near a euthanasia machine and behind the peephole of a red door a hand with red fingernail polish stroked a hard penis. "I don't think that's appropriate for here," said Kim Goldman, an MSCD Spanish major, after she dared to look through the peephole. "But no one's forcing you to look at it, I guess." The display was all in the name of bad art. Brian Dreith assigned his Design Processes and Concepts II students to create bad art, a task that is more difficult than it sounds.

"The objective was to define what good and bad art is, which isn't very easy to do," Dreith said. "The running joke was they fai led because everybody (in the class) liked it." Dreith said that some students relied on shock value, while others were more subtle. One student, for example, mounted a bicycle wheel on a stool, thus partially avoid-. ing the definitions of good and bad. Eric Smith, an MSCD philosophy major, was pleased with what he saw behind the red door. "I think it's great," Smith said. "It's original - just to get that expression out there. They might do it to get a reaction or because that's what they feel. For whatever reason, it's great." David Hunter created one of the more graphic pieces with "The Alter," a cage in which white statuettes depicted three women who were brutally killed. One was stabbed, another was hanged and the last had wires coming out of her eyes, mouth, vagina and other parts of her body. Blood covered the walls inside of the cage. "I kinda like it," said Eric Ratterman, an MSCD music education major. "It's kind of ats. emoa Fey / The Metroporrtan tractive, I guess. The

artist has a weird sense of humor, that's for sure." Mark Buchi, an MSCD marketing major, had a similar reaction. "Bad art. Good art. It's all in the eye of the beholder," Buchi said. "That's morbid though," he said, laughing. The definition of good and bad comes from a complex of values, culture and taste, Dreith said. This assignment also brought up questions of censorship, as several faculty members told Dreith they objected to the art. "Every piece brought up a different question of taste," Dreith said. "What is bad and what defines it?" Between Wednesday and Thursday, one of the art projects, Damon Brandt's "Dirty Clothes," was changed. Although the clothes smelled bad out-

with past practice," Brewer said. "The important thing is that a policy is in place to verify degrees and dates of attendance." However, Citron said that some of the reasons for the policy are to preserve the safety of students. "A student in California was killed after that school released the student's class schedule to her jilted lover," Citron said. "Wedon'twantthattohappenhere.'' A discrepancy between the MSCD fall registration catalog - which states that student infonnation will be released over the phone - and the current policy does exist, but Citron said that the language of the catalog changed between the spring and fall semesters of 1991. The spring catalog states that the college "will" release student infonnation, Citron said, but the fall catalog states that the college "may" release student information. Kurt Vann, vice president of Office Placement Service Inc., said Oct. 29 that employment agencies have a difficult time placing clients in jobs. "If colleges place restrictions on telephone verification, the placement procedure will go from bad to worse." ·The Denver job market is very competitive, Vann said . "If I have two clients who are equally qualified for the same job and one is easier to verify than the other, the one who is easiest to verify has the best chance of getting the job," he said. u

Under the new system, students will be working side by side with their faculty advisers entering information into the computer, instead of pushing paperwork from their major to their minor department as they do now. "It's stepping into making information systems work for us as people," Megeath said, "instead of the other way around." The system would keep students aware of their academic progress, much like it does now. However, new students entering MSCD would be required to declare a major before receiving academic reports. Students now are asked to declare a major and submit a graduation agreement at least two years prior to graduation.

However, faculty members are concerned that the new database system, which eventually will be hooked up in all the departments, is going to create extra work that they may not be able to handle. "lt's not going to be a massive data input," Megeath said, attempting to calm the system's critics. "It's a whole new world that people aren't used to defiling with. What little data entry to be done, I see faculty and students working hand in hand." One of the problems with the current system is that some students wait until the last minute to submit graduation agreements and find that some of their classes do not meettheir graduation requirements. Students then must take additional classes to satisfy their graduation requirements. Megeath said that student-to-faculty

contact has been lacking as a result of this procrastination. Curtis said students who registered at MSCD prior to the 1990-91 catalog requirements will not be affected by the new requirements, which are the source of turmoil. However, if students drop out for three consecutive semesters, they will fall under the 1990-91 catalog. Jett Conner, associate vice president of Academic Affairs, said that pilot programs will begin in the biology, sociology and computer management science departments at the end of the semester to assess any problems that may occur. "There's kinks and there always will be," Conner said. " However, this college is on the threshold in staying up with technology." 0

EDITORIAL

Educational theft: guilty as charged Lawrence Jones Editor

Crimes have been committed on this campus. The criminals are not easy to spot. They are cunning. They let nothing get in their way in the pursuit of their "booty." They are determined to get away with their crimes, again and again. Their victims are left drained and helpless, unable to stop these ferocious thieves. They steal what most people think is given away for free, but it is not and it is priceless. They have stolen an education. When we graduated from high

school and decided to further our education by entering college wÂˇe had expectations. They were rarely met. We hoped to meet those incredible professors that should be at Harvard and Yale but decided that they wanted to teach at a state funded college. These professors were supposed to burn a desire for learning into our hearts and share their wisdom. They were supposed to be like John Houseman of "The Paper Chase" or Robin Williams in "The Dead Poets Society." They were supposed to make our classes exciting, our tests enlightening and our education a whirlwind of adventure and learning. They weren't and they didn't. For the most part, our instructors are good teachers. They teach classes and give tests. Unfortunately, we forget them a week later. (Unless their final is cumulative, then we keep the test and read it over the night before the final.)

The truth is that most instructors couldn't care less if you learn or not. They still earn their salary and occasionally find a student that they feel like committing to. For most of us a modicum of information is tossed out into the void of the classroom and it is up to us to catch it. The thieves change that and we should learn their techniques for acquiring the best education possible. It is not the responsibility of the teacher to teach, not here at least. In some schools, certainly, but here the responsibility is upon the student to learn. We have to badger the teacher for more information. We have to stun them with questions, even stupid questions, to make damn sure we understand the material. We have to push for more than the teachers are willing to give and suck them dry of their knowledge and experience. We must be vampires. We must be thieves.

Many feel that since we pay for this education that is unfair that we should have to work so hard to get it. Well, who ever said that life is fair.

VIEWPOINT 'White Paranoia' still fails to see others' true colors Isn't it ironic that Whites have come to fear what they have preached for so long? Specifically, that equal opportunity of social, economic and political goals are available to everyone, Whites and minorities alike. Whites don't truly adhere to this mandate and in my opinion they only say these words to benefit themselves. For example, every semester on the Auraria campus there are White persons who emphatically state or imply that minority students, especially Blacks and Hispanics, all get scholarships and lots of financial aid.

Additionally, if you are Black or Hispanic or a member of a "protected class" you don't have to worry about admittance into law or medical school or any graduate programs because your skin color will get you in, regardless of you academic ability. Many White students argue that Blacks and Hispanics don't have to do as well academically to get into graduate level programs and because of this, admission practices are unfair. I agree with them in principle that it is unfair, but I will also say that they must factor in the unfairness minorities receive throughout their collegiate careers, specifically, grading practices. I

IT'S WORKING GREAT II!

have personally witnessed a White student doing less and achieving the same as a minority who clearly out distanced him academically. This occurs in the classroom and in the real world and just because Whites don't always see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Time and time again minority students have told me they must do "A" work to get a "B" grade. They feel like they're under the microscope academically and must constantly prove they belong in college alongside their White counterparts. Listening to the White paranoia on campus I can't believe some of the ignorance I hear. White persons have stated to me in whatthey consider an unoffending manner that it's better to be Black because everyone is against White people, specifically White males. (I guess it wouldn't be offensive if I were to say Whites only get where they are because they're White.) Whites would attempt to have me believe that I am at an advantage because of my skin color! I can only say that Whites are greatly misinformed. Very few minorities attend college and even less go on to pursue graduate degrees. The fear Whites have is simply unfounded and cannot be supported in numbers. Look around this campus. How many minority students do you see in comparison to the White student body? Look at corporate America. How many minorities do you see there? The fear isn't justified that the minority community is going to overrun these areas. Unfortunately for the few that do attain some measure of success, they become stigmatized in that they only achieve because of their skin color, not because of their abilities. Do we ever hear that a White person got into graduate school or got the job just because they're White? Instead we hear phrases like "earned," "most qualified," and "deserved." White paranoia is unwarranted and in my opinion Whites have nothing to fear. Their fear, under the guise of the so called Political Correctness movement is simply ridiculous. I never envisioned the day when a White person would tell me he or she can't achieve because of their skin color. Whites shouldn't pervert the meaning of racism by trying to pull their race card. That's my opinion. James Jones, ASMSCD student senator

LETTERS Menorah Ministries cannot endorse a 'sinful life' Editor,

.....-

In clarifying some misunderstandings, Menorah Ministries would like to state that we have not discriminated against anyone, nor turned anyone away. We believe all people are sinners, and we view homosexuality in the same light as any other sin. All of our members recognize that they are sinners and that Jesus Christ is their only hope for redemption. Although we are sinners, we strive to live in obedience to the Word of God because of our love for Him. Thus, we cannot endorse the active participation and promotion of a sinful lifestyle as being correct, whether it be homosexual or heterosexual. This is what we feel the amendment to the anti-discrimination law will do. We don't ask what sins people commit, but we do think that someone wanting to become a member of our club would be interested in what we are about and agree with the club's standing and purpose. I'm not

interested in chess and wouldn't want to join a chess club. However, I do believe that a chess club has the right to exist, the same as any other club. The function of a club is so people with a similar interest can get together. How many of you are interested in manning a literature table, handing out tracks or attending a Bible study? That is what we do. As for funding, it is true that it was denied last year, so the lack of it would not hurt what we are already doing. However, if we did have it, maybe we could help send some people to a national convention like some other clubs do. One thing we would like to do would be to invite singers and speakers to come to our campus, and everyone would be welcome to come to the events. It is our desire to serve the Lord by ministering to the community on this campus. Alan Cook, president of Menorah Ministries Laura Kulp, vice president of Menorah Ministries

American Dream 'myth' must give way to 'reality' Editor, For the first time since the depression, the current generation of Americans do not believe that their children will be better off than they are. Despite the official pronouncements by Money Magazine. the Wall Street Journal. and the Bush administration ''that these are the best of times" and that "the U.S. is still the greatest country in the world" social breakdown in America continues. George Bush is going to need more and more foreign excursions, keeping us entertained with bread and circuses so as not to focus on dire domestic issues. The gap between the rich and the poor has increased greatly. From 1979 to 1990 the average before-tax household income for the poorest 10% of Americans decreased by 8.6%, while the richest fifth increased by 29.8% and the richest one percent increased their incomes by 75.3%. During the '80s the number of billionaires quintupled while 2. 1 million more children fell into poverty. In 1990, despite the recession and dwindling corporate profits, the CEOs of

America's largest corporation, who are already paid 160 times what their average employee makes, gave themselves raises of 12 to 15% with one out of every child being born into poverty. Twenty-one countries have lower infant mortality than the U.S. and 40 million Americans face the day to day horrors of life with absolutely no health insurance. The U.S. has also institutionalized racism in what Dr. Marable calls "Corporate Apartheid" where "AfricanAmericans who make up 13% of the population, represent less than 5 percent of all managers, and less than one percent of all mid-to top-level executives." (Along the Color Line. "Racism in Corporate America") All evidence to the contrary Bush continues to deny. the very notion of Class1sm. The myth of the American Dream has been used far too long as a means of division and control. It is time to look beyond the Bush administration rhetoric on "A Thousand Points of Light" and work to change the dream to a reality based on true democracy, justice, and equality. Thomas C. Mestnick, MSCD student

Music Review Soundgarden blooms with hearty rock 'n' roll Jenny Jenny Music Writer

After recording numerous albums on independent labels and one on A&M, Soundgarden is ready to break into the bigtime with Badmotorfinger, their sophomore effort at A&M. Badmotorfinger is an awesome collection of influential sounds and styles from all eras of rock music. Soundgarden has put together a tough new album that covers all bases of rock. The album is like an all-night jam session inspired by every influential rocker in music. Although comparing Soundgarden to any other band would be an insult, they are able to combine all the best elements of great rock from the '60s and '70s and spice it up with their own unique melodies and style. The first single, "Jesus Christ Pose," is nothing at all like the pose Madonna begs you to strike in "Vogue."This is a real song. From the start, "Jesus Christ Pose" strikes out at you and pulls you in with its swirling guitars and screaming vocals. As strong as the vocals are, they're almost buried by the guitars, which are flying. If you weren't on drugs before you heard this song, you won't need any by the time it's over. Both "Holy Water" and "Slaves & Bulldozers" are intense, moody songs remi-

niscent of the late Jimi Hendrix, with heavy '60s-inspired arrangements. "Searching With My Good Eye Closed" starts out slow and distant, like waking up from a deep sleep. As it rises to the surface, lead singer Chris Cornell talks to the listener: "This is my good eye. Do you hear a cow? A rooster says ... " The song kicks in, burying his nonsensical chatter with a slow building tempo before it peaks with a dominant, metallic guitar. It' s refreshing to find fresh new bands still eagerly pursuing the art of their craft and cultivating their talent. Soundgarden is a unique band with the potential to stay in the limelight for a long time to come. Cornell summed it up when he told L.A . Times music writer Richard Cromelin: "I don't think a band should compromise themselves for anything. Not for an audience, not for a record label. Because I don't think a fan is gonna believe in what you do. The feeling that you 're true to yourself translates almost every time to your audience." The Seattle-based band is set to joi? Guns N' Roses on an upcoming U.S . tour, but you can catch them before they hit the big time. Soundgarden kicked off a tour to support Badmotorfinger, which includes a stint in Denver on Nov. 5 at the Gothic Theatre. Cl

MOVIES i

'Year of the Gun' triggers intrigue and love in Italy Chris Caylor The Metropolitan

Few directors can put together a suspense film as well as John Frankenheimer. Over the years, he has directed such complex, riveting works as "The Manchurian Candidate," "Black Sunday," and "Dead-Bang." While Frankenheimer is not a prolific director, his films are worth the wait. His latest effort, "Year of the Gun," is a tense political thriller that is very good except for a couple of drawbacks. Set in Rome, 1978, the plot deals with an American reporter (Andrew McCarthy) who accidentally stumbles on a Communist plot to kidnap an Italian prime minister and the student revolt against the Red Brigade. David Ambrose's screenplay can be a bit wordy at times, but it picks up steam as it goes along. McCarthy's character, David Raybourne, 路 is supposed to be a former left-wing radical with a past who has become a reporter for the American newspaper in Rome. Unfortunately, McCarthy is miscast in this role. He does decent work, in fact, probably his best screen work to date, but his skills are apparently too limited. One wonders what a more talented actor such as James Spader would

have been able to do with the role. When Rayboume arrives in Rome, he meets up with Italo Bianchi (well-played by John Pankow), a friend and an instructor at a Rome university. He also becomes involved with Lia, a former love portrayed by Valeria Golino. Rayboume returns to Italy to craft a fictional novel based on the events surrounding the clashes between the Red Brigade and the Italian students. Not long after his return , he meets Alison King (Sharon Stone), a beautiful, reckless photojournalist trying to write an expose on the Red Brigade. Subplots abound in Ambrose's screenplay. Lia is divorced from an abusive exhusband and she wants to leave Italy to get away from him. King has eyes for Rayboume, while Bianchi has eyes for King. A scoop-hungry King believes both Bianchi and Rayboume know more about the Red Brigade than they are telling. 路 The footage of the violent confrontations between the students and the Red Brigade is compelling. Frankenheimer qas a talent. for filming such volatile situations with realism and clarity. The plot begins in complicated fashion , then becomes simpler, then takes another twist. As Rayboume continues work on his novel, the Red Brigade closes in on him and King. McCarthy 's chemistry with Stone is the strongest part of his performance.

'DUCCs' flock together to brighten future Cyndi Wyatt The Metropolitan

. They wear the same colored sweatshirts, gray with blue letters that spell out the acronym DUCC (pronounced "duck"), and get paid $4.50 an hour to hang around togetherfivedays a week. These youths belong to a "crew" and they have one thing in common: The hope for a brighter future for themselves and society. They are members of the Denver Urban Conservation Corps, a non-profit program established in January 1991 and funded by the Mayor's Office of Employment and Training and the Denver Private Industry Council. Its purpose is to help low-income, disadvantaged Denver-area youths become productive members of society and their own communities. "It's a learning experience, something I like doing," said crew member Joe Montoya of Denver. "It helps me deal with the people around me." "We can be more than being just a statistic," said another crew member, f,ichard Long. "Why be what they (society) say we are?" Linda Padilla, an MSCD student, has been a part of DUCC since its beginning in June 1991. The idea was conceived in Janu-

and Humboldt. DUCC crew leader Tommy Richardson, supervisor of this project, said, ·'J want (the youths) to look back and say I taught them something." Once a crew member has completed the six months of work and academics, they "graduate" from the program. "We try to stay in touch with them," said Mattingly. "Many want to continue their education and some want to get into Metropolitan State College." Mattingly said a problem the program has is recruitment.

"DUCC has a new six-month contract with the mayor's office and we need to prove that there is a demand for something like this." Volunteers are needed badly so the program can succeed. Mattingly currently has a staff of five, including herself and Padilla. "There is too much to do and too little (volunteers) to do it," Padilla said.

FEATURES Students strut their stuff in Math Modeling contest

Jacque Williams Staff Writer Remember back in sixth grade, when you came upon the dreaded test question, "If Johnny had 12 bushels of apples and had to travel three miles over 12 days by a train which traveled 66.3 miles per hour to reach the market and he sold each apple at fair market value, !;low soon could he afford to buy a new car?" Remember how you could never find the right answer to the question, because you kept thinking, "Well, it depends on what kind of car he wants to buy," etc. The Math Modeling teams at MSCD obviously thrived on those questions in grade school because they enter an international competition annually to-prove that they know the answers to these and many more complex questions that have plagued Americans for centuries, and their solutions have been rating right up therewith the best in the nation. Math Modeling is not some thin,gorgeous European Madonna-type model, gliding down the aisle angeliclilly, adorned in an arithmetic fashion of bold black numbers and eclectic equations. Math Modeling is taking a word problem and using mathematics to make a model to predict the results of that problem and coming up with the best solution possible. It has become a serious business for the MSCD

THE METROPOLITAN

Math Modeling teams who haunt the Science building after hours and speak in computerese to their friends at lunch. ln the past four years, the MSCD Math Modeling teams have won one honorable mention and two meritorious awards, placing them in the top one-third to one-fourth of the nation's college mathematical department genius-types who enter the competition. Thomas Kelley, associate professor of mathematics and the faculty adviser for the MSCD Math Modeling teams, involved the college in the competition in 19 7. The contest, sponsored b the Consortium for Mathematics and its Applications, is open to all CQlle~s with an applied math program. Kelley is now preR,aring to find one or two three-person teams to compete in December. The Math Modeling teams won honorable mention in 1989 and meritorious status in 1988 for presenting their best solution to the problem of "Locating a Drug Runner: Miami Vice Style." Kelley finds his teams in "good students who show some aptitude and are willing to work hard . I've never looked at a grade point average to determine the team members. Kelley looks for three people-one who has a good aptitude for math, one who is good with a computer, and one who has "both feet on the ground and can get the group working," he said. "And I'd say grade point average is not an indicator of any of

those things," Kelley added. In this past spring's competition, MSCp math students Rena Todd, Catherine Baxter and Kevin Tate found what they considered to be the best solution for a small town's rate of water use. They used mathematical calculations, computer formulas, research abstracts and just plain common sense to solve the problem and win meritorious status. They spend a least 12 hours a day, from Fridaya:fternoon until Monday al midnight, finding the.. be t solution to the problem. They sleep at- home but they occasionally have.dinner together to talk over the days accomplishments. ~'They get fair I y discouraged by Saturday afternoon, and they are fairly well panicked by Monday morning," Kelley said. The 1991 team produced a solution to their "Water Tank Problem," a question of a small town's rate of water use, in gallons per hour, and the total amount used each day. The team submits an abstract, a solution, and the computer computations used to reach the solution. Anyone interested in participating in the upcoming Math Modeling competition should contact professor Kelley at 556-2904. And remember, in sixth grade, it didn' t matter how far Johnny traveled, or how fast, on what mode of transportation, or even what the market was, it only mattered that he was a good salesman, he had no overhead 0 and he didn't have high aspirations.

I have been out of school for many years and recently decided to return to college. I was never a real good student but always managed to maintain about a ·c· average. This is the middle of my second semester and I am beginning to wonder if I am really cut out for college. Besides not being a great student, I am working full time and s~nding weekends with my two young children. This doesn't leave much time for studying and keeping up with assignments so I find myself cramming a11d struggling during the little time I have left. Also, when I do find the time to study, I dont seem to be able to really learn the class material. I'm at my wits end and am thinking college may not be for me. Do you have any suggestions?

Wit's End Dear Wit's End, Being a college student definitely increases personal demands on all levels. It requires a good time management plan, effective study skills, relaxation and coping skills and patience. The college experience has many ups and downs and this can also be very taxing to one's self esteem. Before you give up on college, try changing the approach you have used thus far. For most of us, it is not a matter of being intellectually inferior or inept, but rather not having the adequate strategies to aid us in our educational process. There are various tools wecanacquiretohelpusreachoureducational goals. Learn some effective relaxation methods. An easy remedy to reducing stress is using deep breathing exercises. This can help reduce your level of tension and frustration which interferes with your efforts to study and learn. Create a reasonable time management schedule that will accommodate all aspects of your life. The times that are not blocked outfor work and classes can be structured in a way that allows you to study more consistently. This way you don't end up feeling so pressured to cram everything in atthe last minute. Pacing your study time can have a beneficial impact not only on your grades but also on your attitude about college. Visitthe campus bookstore and browse through some of the literature that is available on study strategies. There are many books and materials that are inexpesive and can provide you with methods and ideas to implement into your time management plan. These materials cover specific suggestions for taking notes while reading or listening to lectures, reading more efficiently, revising class material to enhance retention and understanding, writing papers, preparing projects and taking tests. The college also offers tutoring programs for a variety of subjects. Another option is to form study groups with your classmates which can introduce a little fun into your studying. Begin monitoring you attitude toward school. When you find youself saying that you can't do something, change your thought and tell yourself that, even though this may be difficult or unpleasant, you can do it. It's just a matter of figuing out the best strategy.

All right. Enough's enough. Now that the World Series is over (insert teardrop here), will everyone please pack up their tomahawks and return them to their rightful owners, the Florida State Seminoles. This Tomahawk Chop stuff has gotten way out of hand, almost to epidemic proportions, and something must be done to stop it before it causes any more damage. The Chop belongs to FSU and its fans. It has been a tradition at Seminole athletic events for years. But with this recent rash of pseudo-choppers breaking out at arenas and stadiums across the country, what was once one of college football's greatest traditions has turned into a cheap rah-rah-sis-boombah rally point for America's ignorant sports fans. It was cute, and acceptable, when the fans of the Atlanta Braves adopted the Chop and the chant during what turned out to be the greatest season the team has had since it moved south from Milwaukee. Its origin in the home of the Brave has a distinct Florida State tie-in, lending to its legitimacy there. When a few college buddies of ex-FSU All-American "Neon" De ion Sanders started flexing their elbows when he took the field, the rest of Atlanta's faithful picked up on it. Unfortunately, so did the rest of the country. This thing is the chop that wouldn't go away. Everywhere you look, if there are a ball and some athletes, there are bending elbows and that ohh, oh, ,oh-oh-oh chant.

(ESPN's Roy Firestone pointed out recently that this stereotypical Hollywood Indian chant is the same little musical riff used in all the old WW II movies to let us know the actors were Japanese . Hollywood just deepened the pitch and slowed it down. Voita' - instant Indian.) First it was the Kansas City Chiefs fans that stole the Chop. I don't care if their name provides a connection, it's ridiculous. These people just discovered they had a football team about three years ago, and now they' re treading on collegiate history. The same goes for all those bumpkins at Clemson who were chopping away against North Carolina State. Regional tie to Atlanta my butt. Their team name is the Tigers, and unless there is some nocturnal tommychopping tiger cult that I don't know about, I can't find the connection between a bengal and a hatchet. It is sacrilegious to take college tradition and make it so trivial. Why don't all these wanna-be choppers take the FSU fight song and convert it to muzak while they're at it? Then there is this matter of courtesy to Native Americans. I'm not going to get too involved in it here, but there are two points I would like to make. First, the spread of the Chop in this country is not surprising since this is the same great nation that still celebrates the myth of Christopher "Costumblous," a genocidal reject who has as much claim to discovering this country as Gilligan and the Skipper had to finding that island. Secondly,FSUworksatmaintaininggood public relations with the Seminole Indians

and sincerely does its part to uphold the dignity of the tribe while still carrying on its athletic traditions. Aside from Tonto and the Italian-Americans who played Native Americans in those spaghetti westerns, what ties do the rest of these tomahawk choppers have to those they're mocking? Enough politics, let's get back to the initial issue. The Chop has been an important part of Florida State athletics for years, and it belongs to the Seminoles. They made it up, they should be the only ones using it. The patent is FSU's. So, let's just wrap those tomahawks and send them all back to Tallahassee where they belong before this craze turns into (dare l say it) the Wave of the Nineties. 0

SPORTS Soccer captain puts nightmare knee injury behind him Wiii Hinton Sports Editor

In the summer of 1990, MSCD soccer player Kent Nelke decided to play in a few tournaments to get into shape for the upcoming season. Two weeks before training camp was to have started, he was playing in the Denver Cup when he and an opponent went for the ball. What started out as a fun way to get in condition abruptly turned into every athlete's worst nightmare. "We both kicked the ball at the same time and both our knees gave," said Nelke, now a fifth-year senior and tri-captain on the Roadrunner men's soccer team. "I heard it pop. I don't even think the ball moved." What resulted was a tom medial collateral ligament, damaged cartilage and a nerveracking redshirt season on the sidelines. Nelke, 22, said that watching, as opposed to playing, for the first time was almost more than he could bear. 'That was horrible," he said with a moan brought on by the painful memories of '90. "I thought I was going to get ulcers nine or 10 times just watching." Sitting out was especially hard on Nelke the competitor. He was a three-year letterman, state champion and all-state per-

defensive backfield. All these factors combined made it hard for him to just watch, especially when a mistake was made at his position. "As the season went along I learned to deal with it better, but it was hard," he said. He spent his time off the field working toward his mathematics degree, cheering on his teammates and keeping statistics for the team. "I got really good at keeping stats," he said with a sarcastic laugh. Nelke rehabilitated his knee and then got back into playing shape by playing indoor_soccer, an odd choice since the indoor game is known to be less forgiving on PholD oouttesy o1 Ride llcDonlld the knees than the outMSCD's Kent Nelke has come back from a major knee Injury In door version. 1990 to lead the '91 Roadrunners. He explained that playing inside wasn't so much a choice of former at soccer powerhouse Northglenn one over the other, but just a change of pace. High School. Upon arriving at MSCD he "I like both a lot, but they are two totally immediately became an impact player in the different games," he said. "Indoor is so fast, it's more reactionary. Outdoors you have to think about what you're doing a lot more." As for the 1991 season, Nelke said it has been fun but at the same time frustrating. "We've been so inconsistent. We've only been beaten by the other team maybe twice. In the other six losses we did ourselves in." The team has a 10-8-1 record with the Colorado Athletic Conference Tournament just around the comer. When describing his own play, Nelke is hard on himself - his own worst critic. A

tom knee ligament and a year away from the outdoor game are not excuses to him, but rather obstacles he simply has to overcome. He said that a change in his style of play, due to a switch to the midfield position, and not being tested by the mental part of the game for a year have hurt him. "I'm more mentally rusty than physically." It's not all gloom in Metroville for Nelke, though. He has been impressed by the play of a very young and inexperienced team, andhas had fun playing with the younger guys. He has scored three goals and added an assist, almost doubling his career scoring production after moving from the defense.

"lfwe get another shot at Regis Ithink we'll beat them. We have too much character to pack it in and let them beat us again." There were also the two victories over hated archrival University of Denver, one a 5-0 Pioneer humiliation, that have helped make his final season at MSCD a memorable one. A late season loss to Regis University put a bit of a damper on Nelke' s final campaign, but he is using it for motivation. "Hopefully we can get some momentum and take it into the CAC tourney," he said. "If we get another shot at Regis I think we'll beat them. We have too much character to pack it in and let them beat us again." Nelke knows that another meeting with Regis will in all likelihood be in the championship game, an encounter he confidently looks forward to. "I think we have a really good chance of winning the tournament. When we play like we can, we can't be touched." 0
