MSCD students apparently will have no voice in a proposal to force incoming freshmen and transfer students to perform 200 hours of community service as a graduation requirement. But angry voices are being heard nevertheless. "I don't think it's fair," said Rhonda Brown, an MSCD freshman. "It's kind of like a punishment. It's usually required for people who are in trouble with the law." MSCD President Thomas Brewer announced in September a proposal to require incoming freshmen and transfer students to perform a set number of community service hours without receiving credit. Two months later, the proposal is not well-received. Nick Kidwell, also a freshman, said although the service would be good for the community, he would probably have been "hacked off' at having no choice but to perform the service. "Usually, people who work in the community see Service page 4

Breslin brings brazen book to Auraria Barry Tobin Staff Writer

The brazen, ~wo-fisted Jimmy Breslin visited the Aur~a Book Center Nov. 7 to promote his la~est book, the biography Damon Runyon, A Life. "I wrote this 1book for money," Breslin said to the crowd of about 70 who had come to see a folk hero of American newspaper and print. "I worked fofj Hearst newspapers and so did Runyon. He l:lrank a lot and met a Lot of characters." Breslin could have been talking about himself. The book jacket calls Damon Runyon, A Life, "a perfect union of author and subject." Two characters from Breslin's own past

- much like many of the characters in DamonRunyon -wereFatThomas,a450pound bookmaker, and Marvin the Torch, an arsonist who "built vacant lots for a living." Runyon was one of a kind, Breslin told the crowd- he hated legitimate people and Loved thieves. Runyon started his journalism career in Colorado at age I L. He wrote about gunfights and lynchings at the Pueblo Chieftain and later at The Denver Post. He was fired from thePostfordrinking and then migrated to New York. Breslin told the story of a favorite character of Runyon, Harry "Champ" Segal, a New York gangster: Two men were shot to death outside Segal's bar one day. The police found a smoking gun inside the barroom with the

initials "H.S." inscribed on the handles. With the dead bodies and the smoking gun inscribed with Segal's initials, the police figured they had Segal for murder. Segal was arrested and brought to trial. "Don't worry, Mr. Runyon. I'll get outta this," Segal told the newsman. During the trial, Segal told the judge, "I don't even own a gun." When the court asked Segal about why his initials were on the gun, Segal said, "I don't own the alphabet either. You think I'm the only H.S. in the world?" Segal beat the rap. On the courthouse steps, Segal, a free man, said to Runyon, "If I go back in there and ask the judge, do you think he'll gimme my gun back?" Breslin said Runyon coined the terms "Broadway" and the "Roaring Twenties," see Breslin page 4

MSCD professor discovers ancient pet in Ecuador

L.M. Pollock The Metropolitan

An excavation by an MSCD professor last summer in Ecuador determined that there were pets almost 5,000 years ago. Jonathan Kent, an anthropology professor at MSCD, made the find while analyzing a collection of 25,000 ancient bone remains from an excavation site near Salango, Ecuador. Kent found the bones of a heron, in which a fractured bone had been healed. "In the wild, a broken bone means certaindeath."Kentsaid. "However, there is evidence that this animal was a pet that someone bad taken care of." In 1990, Kent received a Fulbright Congressional Grant to begin his studies in Ecuador. In 1992, Kent will return to continue the study.

Correction <..I

In last week's issue, Yvonne Flood was incorrectly identified as MSCD President Thomas Brewer's secretary. She is his administrative assistant.

UCD students voted Nov. 12-13 on a proposal for their student government to take over the Tivoli lease and operate the facility as a student union, but exit polls by the Rocky Mountain News showed the referendum was being defeated. The proposal calls for the University of Colorado at Denver student government to incorporate, float $25 million in bonds, and take over the Tivoli lease. Results of the referendum were not available before The Metropolitan' s press time. If the proposal did win students' approval, the next step would be consideration by the Board of Regents of a $35 per semester fee increase, along with a $3 increase each year thereafter not to exceed $50. Michael Simmons, UCO Student Life director, backed the proposal. "I support the referendum and feel it is an uncanny way to pay attention to the use of the Tivoli on campus," Simmons said. UCO student Albert Mezarino said: "It sounds good. The fee increase doesn't

really matter because people don't pay attention to where their fees are going anyway." But UCO SACAB RepresentativeMichael Newlon - disagreed. Newlon said he spoke with several students concerned about the fee increase. Newlon also was concerned about the fact that MSCD and Community College of Denver are being left out of the deal. MSCD student government President Chip Wiman said, "It will never happen, so I d~m 't even consider the possibility." Wiman said the proposal might win the approval of UCO students, but he predicted the administration would shoot it down. "Ifl could sum the whole thing up in one word, it would be humorous," Wiman said. 0

Holden resigns UCD post Dan Holden, directorof the UCD Board of Events, resigned the post Nov. 13, according to Michael Simmons, interim director of Student Life at UCD. "Dan Holden submitted his resignation," Simmons said "He is no longer the director." Simmons said he did not know what prompted Holden to resign. "Perhaps he is disenchanted with the way things are being run around here," Simmons said. Holden refused to confirm the report.

Parenti

Parenti, Buckley wax political in Denver Two of the greatest warriors for liberalism and conservatism will be battling it out in Denver, yet will never see one another. One of America's leading liberals, Michael Parenti, discussed Bush's "voodoo economics" and its impact on higher education for Auraria students Nov. 14. America's "patron saint of conservatives," William F. Buckley Jr., will speak to students and the public at 8 p.m. Nov. 21 at the Denver Auditorium Theater. Both events are hosted by MSCD Student Activities. "I think that it's really important thatthe students get to hear both sides of the issues," said Kersten Keith, lecture and special events coordinator for Student Activities. Originally, Keith wanted to bring the two face-to-face for a debate, but Buckley declined. Arrangements then were made so students would still have the opportunity to hear both men. Parenti spoke Nov. 14 at the Student Union, but there is still time to catch Buckley at the Denver Auditorium. Buckley will be lecturing and then answering questions from a panel of experts. MSCD' s Norman Provizer, chair of the political science department, will be a member of the panel and mediator. There will be a question-and-answer period for the audience afterward. Tickets for the event are $16 for general admission, $8 for students with ID, and $50 for VIP seating, which includes a reception. For information and tickets, call the Auraria Student Union Ticket Booth at 556-3315. 0

Newly appointed MSCD student government Vice President Tom Mestnik would like to bring awareness and education to students so solutions can be found to problems such as poverty and access to higher education for minorities. "I am more into causing awareness, but also realize you can't just be a voice of protest; you must also apply solutions and seek long-term goals," Mestnik said. During his fust week in office, Mestnik has moved to bring the slide show "American Pictures" to campus. "It is images of a side of America that most people never see," he said. Mestnik said the slide show illustrates serious poverty that exists in America. The pictures are so vivid and realistic that Mestnik many people will not believe or be able to stomach them, he said. By bringing the slide show to campus sprlftg 1992, Mestnik said he hopes to bring awareness and education to Auraria students. "To put light on an injustice is a big step and very important," he said. "You cannot work on solving a problem if you don't believe it exists." Mestnik would also like to address the lack of access to higher education for minorities. He said college enrollment of AfricanAmericans has dropped from 36 percent in the 1970s to 28 percent today. "I want to look into Metro State's policies. Their recruitment policies, scholarships and financial aid, but I don't really have a plan as of right now," Mestnik said. "That's very much where my heart lies. It' s not just awareness, it's trying to look for pragmatic solutions, too, but that takes everybody working together." 0

either volunteered or did something wrong," Kidwell said. "I'd ask myself, 'What did I do?"' A temporary Faculty Senate committee has met once to consider the goals of the requirement, but has not made any recommendations. Brewer said he strongly supports the requirement, suggesting a requirement of 200 hours for a bachelor's degree. Karolyn Buck, an MSCD senior and student senator who is married and has a 7year-old son, said giving students credit hours for the service might make it more acceptable. "There's a lot of single parents on campus who work, go to school and take care of kids," Buck said. Some students would also have to come up with more money to pay for baby sitters, she said. Audrey Herrera, also a senior and student senator, said: "It's the word ' requirement' people don't like. I don' t think it's fair. People come here (to MSCD) because they have to work." Herrera said requiring the service without consulting students will cause "more hostility" between students and the administration, eventually fostering distrust of the college among students. Chip Wiman, MSCD student government president, said he will lobby the Faculty

Senate on the students' behalf. Student government surveys have found the majority of students responding oppose being required to perform community service hours. "We're not against the concept of community service - absolutely not," Wiman said. "We're opposed to the philosophy of saying, 'You will do this."' Charles Dobbs, Brewer's assistant, said the requirement is a "curriculum decision," similar to adding a class requirement to a program, and will go through the regular channels of approval. This process will include the committee making recommendations to David Williams, provost and vice president of Academic Affairs at MSCD, and President Brewer, with the Board of Trustees making the final decision. Debbie Walker, an MSCD junior, has done volunteer work during previous semesters, but with a full schedule, she decided to take a break this semester. "I love volunteer work," she said. "It's very rewarding, the work varies, and it's a good way to get hands-on experience." However, Walker said requiring the service without giving credit hours was unfair. I She said the students should have a say in the decision because the time required for such service could be "very hard to handle for some people." • 0

said. Thirty percent of the cost of educating a college student is covered by tuition each semester, while the other twothirds is covered by state funding, Futhey said.

Enrollment cap?

Space limitations and insufficient funding have prompted MSCD President Thomas Brewer to organize a panel to examine enrollment control strategies. "This task force is determiillng what the issues are, and if there are any (enrollment) problems to be dealt with," said Charles Dobbs, assistant to Brewer. With MSCD's enrollment having grown 25 percent in the last four years, higher-education revenue provided by the state is falling behind, Brewer said. Enrollment in Colorado state colleges is growing faster than the state legislature is providing funds, said Jessica Kozloif, vice president of Academic and Student Affairs for the state colleges. "The task force will help us determine what we must do to continue providing the students with a quality education," Brewer said. Controlled growth, uncontrolled growth, an enrollment cap and downsizing enrollment are being considered by the panel as possible enrollment policies, said Carol Fu they, MSCD's director of planning and co-chairwoman of pie panel. MSCD accepts nearly 700 more students each year than

state funding pays for, Futhey said. These additional students are funded by MSCD reserve contingency funds. An enrollment cap would mean a limit on the number of students admitted to MSCD, but officials would not speculate on the criteria that would be used to exclude students. "We wantthe college to be as accessible as possible," she

The student representative to Brewer's panel, Angie Binder, said MSCD is currently receiving the least amount of state funding per full-time student than any other Colorado state college. According to Binder, MSCD could not implement an admission cap without the other two Auraria Campus institutions following suit. "The other schools would eventually squeeze us out of our allotted space," Binder said. A recent 3 percent cut in state higher education funding has put MSCD enrollment policies under further scrutiny. "However, we've been concerned about enrollment for years," Futhey said. "The state budget cut was only one factor in initiating the study." Dobbs said many of the questions about the possible new enrollment policy may be answered when the legislature announces the 1992-93 budget plan. The panel will submit its recommendations to Brewer in February 1992. A similar study is now being conducted on a statewide level by the Colorado Board of Trustees. Brewer, a member of the board's panel, said what is determined by the statewide study will affect MSCD's enrollment policies in the future~ Other schools involved in the statewide study include Western State, Mesa State and Adams State Colleges.

Too much space in the Student Union is being given to outside groups leaving student club needs unmet, according to complaints by members of MSCD student government. ''The fact they rent out rooms to outside groups that aren't student groups upsets me," said Angie Binder, staff assistant for MSCD student government. "Every day you see something not related to student groups." Binder said she tried last May to book conference rooms for three-day student government meetings taking place this month and was unable to get any reserved. "Students should have priority," Binder said. "After all, we pay for the building." Conference Services books more than 19 ,000 reservations annually - with about 12,000 to 13,000 of them being reserved in the Student Union. The remainder of the bookings are in classrooms and available space around the campus, said Emerson Holliday, division director of Auraria Student Services. The campus lacks the space to accommodate all the events that take place, Holliday said. He said he doesn 't understand MSCD student government' s concerns because about 95 percent of the conference rooms are reserved by student groups. Many other events are sponsored by on-campus groups as well, Holliday said.

stu~ents

"We have a lot of complaints that people can't get space," he said. "There is no space, period. Nineteen-thousand reservations are a lot to handle." However, Tom Mestnik, the newly-appointed MSCD vice president, said although booking problems don't happen often, they happen enough to warrant concern. Mestnik said Conference Services reserves space for outside groups to make as much money as possible.

"Students should have priority. After all, we pay for the building." - Angie Binder " It's a way of selling off services that students are paying for," Mestnik said. The Student Union building has already been bought and paid for by students, he said, and it's not necessary to bring in outside groups for extra revenue. "It's like overbooking a flight or selling tickets to an event over again," Mestnik said. Outside groups, which are charged about $50 to rent a conference room, bring in about $1,000 to $2,000 in revenue, Holliday said. Any income collected helps defray the monies taken from student bond fees to meet operating budgets, Holliday said. Many times, he said, meetings are booked a year in advance, and some groups book space three years in advance for special events. The rooms are reserved by a firstcome, first-served basis, Holliday said. 0

out of rooms, senator says Spanish class held in hallway due to double-booked rooms After discovering that an MSCD studentgovemmentmeetingwastaking place in Room 248 in the West Classroom, UCD Professor Griselda Ramos-Perea found herself in the hallway conducting her Spanish class. Conference Services doubled-booked the room. About 45 minutes later, when James Norris, an MSCD senator, walked into the hallway to see what had happened, he said he found several "nicely" dressed students r having class sitting on the floor.. Norris said that Conference Services is claiming Facilities Management is at fault for the mix up. According to Conference Services, somehow Facilities Management did not finish imputting all its booking orders into the computer before turning the system back over to them, which in tum, caused the scheduling conflicts between student govenunent and Perea's Spanish class. "Right now, it could be any number of people's fault," Norris said, after searching for answers. "It could be Facilities Management, Conference Services, it could even be God' s ... we just don't know."

A computer glitch caused the problems, said Emerson Holliday, division director Auraria Student Services. Normally, he said, Conference Services do have a reliable system of "checks and balances." However, there was a breakdown that wasn_'t noticed. Holliday said that every month Conference Services and Facilities Management compare printouts, whichrarely allow two scheduled events to happen at once. The incident betw~en MSCD student government and the Spanish class is the first scheduling problem this semester, he said. However, Holliday admitted that these sort ofproblems do happen at least once or twice a year. However, Norris said the Conference Services system is fauity and that they have a history of scheduling problems. "The reason why I am going to fight this until we get it right is because student government is supposed to serve the students," Norris said. "Forcing a class and six students to sit in the hallway without chairs and blackboard can by no means be construed as a service. This is not going to happen again." -

Administrative promotion improper, senator claims Mark Friedrick The Metropolitan

Standard process was ignored in the promotion of an administrator to a position that will take $54,000 a year from the Student Activity Fund, a student senator has charged. Yolanda Ericksen, director of Student Activities, was promoted to assistant dean of Student Life in July 1991. The position will pay $54,000 a year with benefits, using money taken from student activity fees. However, Lucian LeMak, an MSCD student senator, charges that students were not consulted or even told about the promotion until October, after most of the student activity money had been spent. Karen Thorpe, dean of Student Life at MSCD, said the promotion had to be immediate. "It would have been nice to consult the SAB, but they weren't there," Thorpe said. The Student Affairs Board is made up of six members of student government and four faculty members. Their purpose is to advise Thorpe upon the use of student fees. In the end, however, it is Thorpe who decides where the money goes. Before Ericksen' s promotion, three staff members who worked for Thorpe were moved to faculty positions. Thorpe said she needed an assistant to administer the Student Activity Fund, since

she, herself, was given a promotion (due to the position cuts), and had to accept more responsibilities. "We had a $2 million program without an administrator," Thorpe said. MSCD, like all other state-funded colleges, received a 3 percent cut in its budget, making it impossible for Thorpe to hire for a position that would be paid for by sta~e funds. The only way to pay a new salary for the necessary position was to use student activities money, Thorpe said. The Student Activity Fund's budget, estimated by Thorpe to be about $2 million, is allocated at the beginning of each year. After this year's allocations, enrollment increases contributed an extra $100,000 in the budget for unanticipated requests, Thorpe said. From that money, $54,000 had to be allocated to pay Ericksen's new salary. With spending for other programs, such as $27 ,000 for student travel, and an extra allocation of $10,000 to the MSCD Club Funding Committee, little is left for other student programs, LeMak charges. LeMak said the fund is now at about $9,000, which will have to last until April 1992. Ifit had been known that the new position would be paid through Student Activities, the money would not have been allocated, LeMak said. "We're broke," he said. "We're going to be broke for the next two years because we' re paying $54,000 for the assistant dean of Student Life." Ericksen said Thorpe has not yet given her a job description for the new post; she will work at her old position until her replacement is found.

Holiday celebration planned to ease pressure of finals Riki Doherty The Metropolitan

Yolanda Ericksen ''This is an administrative position that should not be funded with student fees," LeMak said. Ericksen disagreed. "I dido 't want my salary to come out of student fees," Ericksen said. "The only way I could justify it is that 100 percent of what I do deals with students. They're gonna get their money's worth out of me." Money for both Ericksen's old position as director of Student Activities, which will be replaced, and her new position will come out of the student activities fund. The salary for director of Student Activities is, however, normally funded through the Student Activity Fund. Thorpe said Ericksen's position isn't extravagant, however. "There are about 70 positions that are paid through student fees - all that make much more money," Thorpe said. "To say that this is extravagance is just not true." The SAB recently requested that the position's salary be ta.ken up by the general fund, with a stipulation that the board would only fund 66 percent of the salary next year. Thorpe said she has been assured that the position will be paid for by the general fund as soon as possible. 0

Hoping to ease the pressure of finals, MSCD student government is planning a "holiday celebration" in the Events. Center that will be free for all students. Donations by various campus organizations have increased the original budget of $5,000 to $11,000 for the event, which will be held Friday, Dec. 13, after an MSCD basketball game, said Chip Wiman, MSCD student government president. "We get a lot of people for the games, which are free," said Wiman. "Who wouldn't want to go to a free party and a free concert after a free game? "People also need a break from studying that close to finals. Who wants to study on the Friday before?" The Student Advisory Board, the group that allocates money to various student programs, bas approved $4,000 to be used as part of the fundihg for the "social event." The money approved by SAB will go roward entertainment. Student government is tryiilg to get a well-known band to play at the event. One suggestion has been the Fabulous Thunderbirds. "We don't have to go for local talent, we can use the band as part of the draw for the event," Wiman said. ''We are going to promote responsible drinking for the event, we may even have a two-drink limit for people who attend," Wiman said. 0

THE METROPOLITAN

EDITORIAL Student government needs our attention Lawrence Jones Editor

Picture for a moment that you are the head of a corporation. You hire several people and put them in charge of purchasing for you company. These people will have absolute freedom to spend your money in any way that they see fit and are answerable only to you. Then ...you forget about them and stop checking on their progress. It is a one-way ticket to disaster. Unfortunately, this is the attitude

that many students have toward student government does seem rather ineffecgovernments. The comments "Who . tive and distant. Is this their fault? No. cares about student government" and Just as it is not .the fault of the U.S. 路"They don't do anything anyway" are Senate for misbehaving on junkets or common on campuses, especially this when spending our money. It is our fault one. This apathy is exactly what led to for not pulling in the reins and making last year's student government over- our wishes known to our employees, our spending its budget by almost $7,000. government. This apathy is what leads to electing Of course MSCD student governstate and federal representatives who ment is ineffective.

When the student Senate meets, They are our elected representatives and these meetings are open to the who will decide how tens of thousands public and the times are posted, there of our student fee dollars are spent. are rarely any students there to watch They will make recommendations to the the proceedings and make their own president of the college and its board of views heard. When the student govtrustees that are supposed to be the ernment prints a questionnaire to find "views of the students." out what the students want, they rarely Here at MSCD, though, the student get a response from more than 7 per-

cent of the students . These are the habits we wish to establish when we vote for those who will run our country? Student government is supposed to be a training ground for those who want to get involved with politics and political science after graduation. It is more than that. It is also a train ing ground for us. It is a chance for us to discover exactly how much control the public has on the political system. When we band together and let our views be known, that control is absolute. Whether it is a student government or the government of the United States it is a body of power that requires our supervision. It requires our devotion to keep an on them and make them behave. After all, they ARE OUR employees.

VIEWPOINT Reverse discrimination is illogical and obscene The Civil Rights Bill of 1991 has incited another lively debate on the issue of "quotas" and affirmative action. It has also touched off a fear of what we call reverse discrimination. On this matter I contend that the term reverse discrimination is an obscene word and should not be used. Primarily because the concept behind the word is illogical. Let's examine the word "reverse discrimination." Reverse as defined by Webster's dictionary; turned backward in position, direction or order. Discrimination ; the denying of opportunities and equal rights to individuals and groups because of prejudice or other

arbitrary reasons. By definition we can say reverse discrimination is an admission that discrimination started in one direction ; by the white males who control society's institutions. If one believes in the concept of reverse discrimination, one has to assume that Black people have reached a level of parity in society where they can actually administer discrimination in the reverse fashion . This is mathematically incorrect because the numbers show that African Americans as a group are far from reaching this level of parity. White males who cry reverse discrimination say that their "rights" are being violated under the Civil

world.

AN ALCOHOL INDUCED DREAM

Rights Act of 1964. Ironically, it was the African americans who fought long and hard through the Civil Rights Movement to "push" Congress to pass this piece of legislation. Now, this very same piece of legislation is being slanderously used against African americans! It is slander to accuse a group of reverse discrimination for merely accepting a position through an affirmative action program when the attempt was to help correct the "wrongs of the past."

'If one believes in the concept of reverse discrimination, one has to asume that Black people have reached a parity in society ... numbers show that African Americans are far from reaching this level of parity.' They would have us believe that there is no need for affirmative action. Just trust in the "good faith" of institutions that have criminal records of unchecked discriminatory behavior. Their intent is to delude us into the fantasy that racism is over. Would you trust a bank robber to guard your bank? No. But, this is tne equivalent of what Black people are being asked to do. To pretend that "racism is over" and people will be treated equally under the laws of this land. Thus, eliminating the need for affirmative action. Something this absurd can only be described in terms of fear. Talk to some of your most liberal minded white people and they will tell you that the biggest fear in the back of their minds, is the fear that they will lose their positions of privilege. Any attempt to push forward on the part of Blacks causes that fear to manifest itself in the form of charges of reverse discrimination. The tragedy in this is not only the psychological harm or the demoralization of the group being charged, but certain individuals will exploit this fear for political and economic gains. There are no quick-fix solutions to calm fear. Fear is eradicated only through proper education. Before you accept the notion of reverse discrimination, do your homework! Look at the history of this country and Black Americans in particular. Then look at yourself and ask, are my thoughts and/or actions based on fear? Charles White, MSCD student

THE METROPOLITAN

LETTERS Christian organizations should not be lumped together Editor, Christ came to simplify the complicated, legalistic system that had so many of the faithful obeying the letter, but not the intent of the law. Jesus gave us only two commandments: 1)to love God with all one's heart, and soul, and mind AND 2) to love one's neighbor as one's self. Even though these commandments seem simple enough, Christians hold widely differing views of how to live them. In future articles, please do not allow such a limited group of Christians to speak for all of us who are followers of Christ. (This letter may not represent the views of the Board of Directors of Auraria United Ministry or the denominations which support this rpinistry.)

An article in the October 11 paper implied that all campus Christian groups share a single opinion with regards to controversial issues. However, none of the "mainline" protestant denominations were interviewed by the paper. Christians have a variety of views on controversial issues including: war, abortion, sexual orientation, etc. To present only one Christian viewpoint as representative of all Christians (and in the caption of the photo, "the campus religious organizations") is to do a great disservice to your readers. As campus minister for Auraria United Ministries, my ministry is supported by six different "mainline" protestant denominations. I want to let you know that many Christian denomina- • Sara Glen Power, Campus Minister, Auraria United tions are struggling and have always struggled with Ministry these and other controversial issues.

'Us against them' mentality will not help racial issues you this Senator, but you happen to have something in common with every single person on this campus, no In response to James Jones' opinion in the No- matter what their race, sexual orientation or religion is; vember 1, 1991 Metropolitan I would like to say it is not and that is the fact we are all human beings. Unless we the attitude of the "whites" on this campus that is start looking at each other as human beings, instead of hurting you Mr. Jones, it is the attitude of people li.ke as the enemy, because someone happens to be yourself. The attitude which I am referring to is the "us different from us, we are all in a lot more trouble than against them" philosophy that so many people seem to any one of ''the whites" could ever cause you. adhere to today, and that includes all races, creeds Beth I.

Student fees should not fund inequality, discrimination Lawrence E. Jones

Editor, The following is a copy of the letter I have sent to President Brewer regarding the upcoming decision on whether or not school financed clubs should be permitted to exclude potential members who are homosexual: I encourage the thousands of Auraria students who are gay or just simply against discrimination to take the time to write Dr. Brewer a few quick lines letting him know that this campus will not tolerate discrimination of any kind. Write to: President Brewer, MSCD, Campus Box 1, P.O. Box 17336, Denver, CO 80217-3362. I am a full-time Metro student. I pay my student fees every semester and enjoy many of the services for which these fees pay. I am a Christian and believe in God. I practice my spiritual beliefs in several organizations with others who share my values. I am gay. I live happily with my life partner in a

healthy relationship based on mutual love, respect, and loyalty. If certain religious organizations on campus have their way, they will be able to use my student fees for their activities, while at the same time denying me membership because my life partner happens to be male instead of female. They will, in effect, be using my student fees to discriminate against me. Every organization has the right to its own beliefs, however, groups funded by a public should have the obligation to serve all members of that public. Organizations should not be allowed to discriminate against the same people who provide their funding. I trust and believe, President Brewer, that you firmly support equal rights and opportunities for all students. I trust that when classes start again next semester, every school financed club will be open to every Metro student.

Editor, I am writing in response to the letter by M. Thomas Jones, "No more categories, just people,• which was published in The Metropolitan newspaper in the week of October 11, 1991 . I'm in agreement with the factthat we categorize people by race, gender and ethnic background. When we put people into these categories, we assume we know just how they are supposed to act according to the category we put them in. Mr. Jones' most powerful statement, that we should look upon people as "individuals" not "categories" is an idea I also believe in. I feel sentiments like this are

beneficial and bring out positive, enlightened attitudes among students. For example, when getting to know people you should look at them for who they are, and not the color of their skin. I can also identify with what Mr. Jones is saying, because as a single Mexican woman, I personally don't like being put into any category. When you categorize someone you cheat yourself out of a rewarding experience of getting to know that person as the unique individual they really are.

she tackles it head on," said her friend, Lois Rathbone. "She's not a shrinking violet." In 1978, when Faatz tackled the job of running as a Republican for a vacant seat in Denver's predominantly Democratic lst District, she did it by going door-to-door, meeting people and talking about the issues. "I didn't have a lot of money for publicity," she said.

It's 9:30a.m. at the state Capitol on a cool November morning. Jeanne Faatz, wearing a dark blue suit, sits at the U-shaped conference table in Senate room 356. The capitol is working overtime in a special session. Her hazel eyes peer over half-moon "Mostmenwon'ttakeyouseriously." glasses at the report from the transportation ' It took her "four solid months" of workcommittee.

"She' s alert to the needs of her constituency, she' s always available, always responsive. That' s what representative government is supposed to be all about," Rathbone said. But Faatz will tell you politics is a difficult occupation for a woman. "Most men won't take you seriously enough to ask your opinion," she said. Faatz, 50, was born in Cumberland, Md., but grew up in Indiana. She admits she was "a handful" as a child and said it took her parents eight-and-a-half years to recover before they had another child, her sister, Jeri. When she was a preschooler, she remembers being taught by her mother how to make a paper Easter basket Her mother left the room for a few minutes and when she came back, little Jeanne had mass-produced a tableful of baskets. "I've always had lots of drive," she said. Before she was elected to the legislature, she taught school in Cherry Creek and Denver, was president ofher homeowners' group, and volunteered for the YWCA and UNICEF. As a teacher, Faatz tries to build the confidence of her students.

State Sen. Jeanne Faatz will tell you that politics is a difficult occupation for a woman. "I try to give students good feedback," she said, "and a supportive environment." When she's not getting enough exercise running back and forth between the campus and the capitol, she does aerobics and lifts weights. If there's any time left over after that, Faatz said she likes to read and see movies, plays or concerts. Her goals are not for the future, she said. She wants to keep doing whatever will give her self-satisfaction, excitement and a feeling of contributing in the here and now. 0

Dear Counselor, My 11 year old daughter has great difficulty dealing with change, especially schedule changes. Her tears and irrational complaints about plans changing are very disruptive. Her IQ test in kindergarten was scored at 135. She is in gifted and talented programs at school which seem to challenge her effectively. I do let her know as soon as possible if a planned event must change, but it always results in uncalled for behavior. Her father and I have been divorced now for 3 years. I also have an 8 year old daughter who lives with us. How can we deal with this?

Mom

You have identified several problem areas, the beginning of adolescence, a gifted child who has unique talents and needs, divorce, and the difficulty of change. Combined with your status of single parenting, being a college student, and other possible factors that have not been mentioned, your limits of effective coping are definitely being challenged. Divorce is a very common occurrence in the lives of many children today and they often have a difficult time adjusting and coping with such an event. Divorce results from some level of discord and disagreement between the parents. The children, sensing this bitterness, react with emotional strain. There are also other changes that require adjustment such as financial, parental roles, type and frequency of contact between the parents and between the children, and some level of disruption in the parent's and children's established routine. This is certainly a discomforting situation for everyone involved. Although there is a sense of pride that comes from having a gifted child, sometimes there can be associated problems. Basic academic and social skills can be neglected at the ex~nse of focusing on the area of exceptional ability. Gifted children can experience sooal exclusion from their peers if their creativity is seen as silly or weird. Sometimes they will sense a difference between themselves and their peers and begin to wonder what is wrong with them. As with any child who experiences problems, gifted children can also develop acting out behaviors if they are not meeting their needs on all levels to satisfaction. Check with your daughter and her teachers to insure that her social needs and level are also being addressed. It is important that she is getting the encouragement and enrichment for her self-esteem as well as her special talent. Adolescence occurs between the ages of 10 and 20 and a person goes through more changes cognitively, physically, and psychologically than during any other developmental slaQe in life. Many fundamental issues are dealt with such as the formation of identity, independence, body image, sexuality, maturity, responsibility, and decision-making. Adolescence is always a period that has some degree of conflict and turmoil for everyone involved.

Change of any kind is usually difficult. As adults, we are expected to have the capability and skills to adapt and cope successfully but many times it is an uncomfortable and uncertain process. As an 11 year old, your daughter has less experience and information to deal effectively with conflict or disruption and needs to learn alternative strategies that won't alienate or annoy others in her attempts.

S. Eliott Fsy I The~ Glen Morris Morris attributes the accomplishments of the MSCD program on "good education opportunities." He said the program celebrates numerous success stories. Morris said that a graduate of the program recently returned from the Persian Gulf where he had helped the military design a computer program. The man, who recently earned his master's degree, went through the computer program at MSCD and is now a captain in the military.

CAMPUS Campus.smokers feel left out in the cold Jennifer Martin The Metropolitan

;

The groundskeeper putters along in his little contraption outfit and casually flicks a cigarette on the sidewalk. Smokers shiver outside, while non-smokers study in warm lounges. A student leaves his books to save his table in the cafeteria while he interrupts his studying to have a quick puff outside. Scenes like these are seen more frequently on Auraria Campus since Gov. Romer's executive order banning smoking in state buildings went into effect last January. Environmental and health concerns are among the issues the sgioking ban has raised. For smokers, th_e approaching cold weather is the most pressing matter. "When it's like 40 degrees below out here, it gets bad," said Coqui Laitinen. a junior at MSCD. "They could build a smoking shelter, like one little building. It's no big deal." Liz Godwin, an MSCD senior, agreed with the idea." They could at least put up tarps like they do for the festivals," she said. "Let's not forget that we 're paying students, too." Ron Veatch, executive director of Student Affairs at MSCD, explained that it is a little bit of a big deal to help smokers get out of the cold. "If it took state funds, I would say it wouldn't get very far," Veatch said. "It might have a chance it it were funded by student fees. It's hard to find a basis for doing anything to support smoking."

Veatch said that MSCD has education, me want to smoke more," said Jean prevention and treatment for student smok- Gustafson, MSCD senior. "It seems like it's ers who are considering quitting. There is a violating my rights." But many non-smokers felt their rights conflict between supporting smoking cessation while also making it easier for smokers were being violated when there were indoor smoking areas. "I don't believe anyone to smoke, he said. Linda Wilkins-Pierce, a behavioral health should be smoking in buildings or that anycounselor in charge of MSCD's smoking one should be subjected to smoke," said cessation program, said the ban has affected Mary Pieratt, an MSCD senior. Veatch said he has also heard more comthe program 's emollment. "Last January there was a lot of angry plaints about litter since last January. "Not students," Wilkins-Pierce said. "I think we strictly about smoking, but that the trash got a lot of people in that we wouldn 't have cans aren't kept clean," he said. "It tends to ...-.------------,.,,,,.....,,,...... collect where smokers collect." Mike Thornton, head groundskeeper, encourages people to put their cigarettes in trash cans.

""As long as I'm in While Romer' s order has made life a school I'm not going to add the stress of little better for some and a little less convenient for others on campus, compromise quitting to the stress of school."

Smokeout set for Nov. 21 Most people associate November with Thanksgiving Day and hot turkey dinners, but the American Cancer Society wants people to know it's time for cold turkey- from the smoking habit, that is. The Student Health Center is also getting involved in theAmerican Cancer Society's message. They're gearing up for a tie-in campaign for the annual Great American Smokeout, which is Nov. 21. Smokers are asked to give up their habit cold turkey for 24 hours. 'This is an upbeat program, it's not punitive," said Billi Mavromatis, the staff assistant for the Student Health Center. "We want to make support locations readily accessible to people." On Nov. 21, between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., there will be three locations that students can visit to get information about the Great American Smokeout They are the West Classroom, second floor, South Classroom, first floor, and theNonh Classroom in the atrium student area. The Student Health Center wants people to come by not only for information. but there will also be a raffle for free turkeys, movie tickets and dinners in local restaurants. Someone dressed as a turkey will also be around campus that day to pass out raffle tickets, and to remind people to go cold turkey. Youdon'thavetobeasmokertocoms to the tables either. There will be tion forms to fill out if you want to a smoker and help them become free.

Ashley Bill, MSCO freshman: "It's not fair. They're trying to make UCO better than the other two schools, even though they share the campus with us."

Paul Maeding, MSCO sophomore: "I think it's lousy of the UCO student government. It should be a student union for all three schools, instead of trying to get it all for themselves. It's ludicrous."

Lois Martin, MSCO freshman : "I don't feel too bad about it. As long as everyone else can use it, I see no problem with it."

Eric Wilkins, MSCO freshman : "I think that they should share the Tivoli. What gives them the right to take over the whole building?"

Seung Kil, MSCO sophomore: "That is totally unfair. The three schools on Auraria should use it together."

Phil Perez, MSCO junior: "It sounds like a lot of wasted space. They'd be using two buildings for the same purpose. Why can't they move all three schools into the Tivoli and use the old student union for something else. Separating the schools would only create prejudice."

A ·PERSONAL VIEW Artists carry more than mystique Kim Brown Features Editor

lf my art teacher will tell you how average I am, you'll think this is funny . I carry one of those sleek black 20-by-25inch art portfolios around campus and on the bus. I never realized how "cool" it was to be one of the toting few until someone brought it to my attention. On the bus ride home one evening a girl said, "I was in•• -·- t' trigued by you when I saw you this morning." I remembered seeing her earlier. I'm not very sociable with strangers on the bus at first, so I gave her one of my "huh? what?" looks. "Yeah, with your portfolio you look Iike an important artist off to create a masterpiece," she said. I laughed. If she only knew, I thought. " Well, actually .. . I'm an art minor," I told her. It made me think. People do wonder what' s inside those elusive portfolios. I have. There is a mystique about them that allures ,:

the curiosity in human nature. You think, "Wow! Am I sharing space with the next Degas?" when you encounter the portfolio toter. Others share in this same mystique. There's the camera toters and the guitar toters. The thoughts are: "Can that person really take good pictures or do they just look like they can?" or "Is he as good as Eric Clapton on that guitar?" (I suppose this phenomenon could stretch to the brief case mystique, but that holds too many · yuppie connotations for some.) I could have really played up on the mystique and told the girl on the bus, "Oh yeah, I'm off creating yet another masterpiece. Donald Trump owns one of my originals.

MUSIC REVIEW Stevie Ray Vaughan left behind legacy of great music,· blues in 'Sky Is Crying' Jenny Jenny The Metropolitan

;

Stevie Ray Vaughan was on a path to self-destruction. Drugs and alcohol consumed his life. Fans worried that he was killing himself, following in the footsteps of so many other celebrities whose selfcentered overindulgences led to tragic endings. But Vaughan conquered his addictions, almost ensuring himself a spot in the forefront of the blues scene for a long time to come. Then on Aug. 27, 1990, Vaughan was killed in a tragic helicoptercrash on a foggy Midwestern night. After overcoming numerous obstacles and clearing a bright and hopeful path for his future, Vaughan was dead at36. But now, thanks to Vaughan's brother, Jimmie, some of his legend lives on in the form of The Sky Is Crying, a CD put together with outtakes from different sessions with Vaughan's former backup band, Double Trouble. "I went through a whole van of multi-

track tapes, but there wasn't a whole lot of stuff that was finished," Jimmie explains on the liner notes of the CD. "It seems like he just left this record." The title track is a midtempo song with a slow, moody guitar accenting the sorrowful

•• rim lyrics. Vaughan's playing is seamlessly smooth. Listening to the song brings back his spirit as he communicates through his guitar. No one can qu·ite replicate his wailing, soulful playing. " LifeByThe Drop" is an emotional song inspired by Vaughan and co-written by

Double Trouble drummer Doyle Bramhall. The song is about people grounded by addictions, watching as their friends follow their dreams and reach their goals: "You went your way, I stayed behind/We both knew it was justa matter of time/You're living our dream, wo you on top/My mind is achin', Lord it won' t stop{That's how it happens livin' life by th' drop." Vaughan's 12-string acoustical guitar is the only background as his passionate voice sings about a reflection of his past. "Little Wing" is an incredible tribute to Jimi Hendrix, who wrote the song. It features a more hard-edge, rock-inspired melody with a hint of blues to add spice. There are no vocals, leaving the listener free to admire Vaughan's inimitable mastery of the guitar. "Chitlins Con Carne" further proves Vaughan's adeptness in any facet of guitar playing. The song was written by jazz guitar great Kenny Burnell, one of Vaughan's idols and inspirations. "Chitlins" proves that Vaughan was multi-lingual with his guitar. Whatever the language - blues, rock or even jazz - his guitar transcended aJI barriers and communicated to every listener. Although he's gone, Stevie Ray Vaughan will linger on forever in the memory of all 0 blues fans, for he was a legend.

MSCD's women's basketball team is back, and better than ever. The Roadrunners are coming off their best season at 15-13, and the young team is expected to win even more this year. Second-year Head Coach Darryl Smith said, "I don't think people expected us to do as well as we did last year." But he wasn't surprised. "Good things happen when · you play hard," he said. The one question mark on the team is youth. How can this team, with only one senior, succeed? Smith said the key to winning this year is defense. "This team is aggressive and intense; we have the talent to win." Playing on their home court this year won't hurt the 'RunPhotJ Couf1esy ol Rici< McOonald ners chances either. Stephanie Robinson will run the show for MSCD in 1991-92.

assists with a3.3 average, and was second in scoring at 12.4 per game. Robinson, who played with an injuryriddled team last year, said the key to this season is to stay healthy. "I think that if we stay healthy, we can win our conference," she said confidently. One of the team's strengths is that they are all friends. "We all get along; we all know each other," Robinson said. Another team leader for the 'Runners is junior center Holly Roberts, who was second in NCAA Division II rebounding, averaging 14.2 a game, and ledMSCD in scoring at 16.8 a game. She was a first-team allColorado Athletic Conference pick, an honorable mention All-American and was invited to the Olympic Festival tryouts. Robert's goal is to win the CAC. "We have the talent and teamwork to do it," she said. Smith, along with assistants Benita Martin and Rick Lopez, goes into the season with plenty of talent. Junior forward Noelle Braunschweiger, who averaged 10.5 boards a game, will solidify front court play with Roberts and sophomore Natalie Dittmer. Other top contributors returning from last year's squad are junior guards Cassie Sandoval and Michelle Thomas. Guard Cindy Dalton and forward Lisa Schamp, both junior transfers, are newcomers who figure to help the team in the

The women will start their season quest at the California State-San Bernardino Tournament on Nov. 22 and 23. The 'Runners will have to wait awhile to begin theirjourney for a CAC championship.

SPORTS Volleyball ends regular season 31-15 Will Hinton Sports Editor The MSCD women's volleyball team finished one of its greatest regular season campaigns and got some payback for an early season loss with a three-game sweep of Air Force at home Nov. 9. The win brought the Roadrunners' season record to 31-15, the most wins since the 1989 team went 39-12. The team is currently No. 13 in the American Volleyball Coaches Association poll and 14th in the NCAA-II poll. Now the 'Runners and second-year coach Rhonda McMullen must sit and wait to see where and when they will be playing in the NCAA regionals. The AFA match also represented senior night at MSCD. The singular usage is correct in this instance as the Events Center said goodbye to only one player, setter Jennifer Drees. Drees leaves the school high on the all-

time and single-season assist lists and as the career leader in service aces with 193. MSCD simply overpowered and outquicked the taller AFA squad and gained some redemption for a five-game loss to the Falcons in Colorado Springs on Oct. 1. Earlier in the week the Roadrunners defeated Colorado Christian University and the University of Denver. In the CCU match on Nov. 5, the squad played a bit sloppy on the road but regained its composure and won in four games. Two nights later the 'Runners returned home to the Events Centerto take on archrival DU. In a match taped by Prime Sports Network, the Pioneers played a good game and had MSCD on the ropes when they jumped out to a 2-1 lead. After receiving a pep talk, or tongue lashing, from McMullen, the Roadrunners played like they are capable of playing and won the last two games easily. In the three matches MSCD used the same scenario it has been using all year. Once again it was Drees setting the out-

side hitting tandem of Dana Stright and E>ebbie Guck, and middle hitters Diane Dibble and Crissy Canada. Guck, ajuniortransferfrom Fresno Pacific, and Canada, a freshman who gave up her redshirt status when the middle hitting pos1t10n was depleted by injuries, have been pleasant surprises and are two of the main reasons MSCD is looking at the postseason. Dibble, a junior who has been nursing a serious ankle injury the entire year, has provided the defense with a blocking force at the net and a reliable defender in the backcourt. Freshman defensive specialist Katie Horvat has also played regularly the entire year and helped to make MSCD's defense one of the nation's best. o

DU writes final chapters to disappointing soccer seasons Wiii Hinton Sports Editor The unmerciful skid that has been the 1991 MSCD soccer season effectively came to a halt Nov. 9 when the men lost 2-0 to the University of Denver in the opening round of the Colorado Athletic Conference tournament. The women's season ended the day before with a loss to DU in the championship

game of the CAC Tournament. The games signaled the ends of two disappointing seasons. Both teams entered the year as defending CAC champs with high expectations. But as the season dragged on, hopes of repeating as champs deteriorated into a nightmare the players just wanted to end. The women finished with an 8-7-2 record and a second place CAC finish. The new international formation, which stacks the midfield and allows for only one

International basketball visits MSCD

forward, proved to be a practice in futility as the offense was about as effective as a hand grenade in a nuclear war. It was obvious that the players were as frustrated with the system as their opponents' defenses were happy to see them playing it. It was an unfortunate farewell for senior Bridgette Leisure, who leaves MSCD as its all-time leading scorer with 115 points. The young defense played extremely well, giving up only 1.44 goals per game, but even that was not enough to save the team from its anemic offense. The high points in the season were the team's victory over NCAA Division I opponent Arkansas and the play of freshman Rosie Durbin, who tied (with Leisure) for the team lead in goals with 8, and in scoring with 20 points. The men have one more game, a match againstAirForceNov.16thatwasneedlessly added to the schedule in the fast week of the season, but for all intents and purposes, the season is over. The players were just going through the motions instead of playing as the season

wound down. There was something on their minds when they were on the field, but it surely couldn't have been soccer. The Roadrunners have a 10-10-1 record and the players' attitudes toward the Air Force game almost ensure the team of a losing record. Sophomore Leonard Trujillo had a great first half of the season but disappeared in the second half, totalling a team-leading 10 goals and 24 points. Freshman Derek Scarth has 16 points on the year, but like Trujillo, the majority of his scoring came early on. On defense, there was none. Senior Mike Lockwood came off an early season ankle injury to play well, but goalie Mike Najar was otherwise left to pretty much fend for himself. Najar often didn'tknow who to defend as the 'Runners put two balls by him themselves and assisted the enemy on several other occasions. If there is anything the teams can take from this season and look forward to in 1992, it is the fact that both teams are young and return many key players. 0

THE METROPOLITAN

SPORTS 1.L

From the cheap seats: a one-man peanut gallery

Greed and fear keep MSCD off gridiron .

Will Hinton Sports Editor There is a lull in MSCD athletics. The men's and women's soccer seasons came to an end with the conference tournaments, the volleyball team is talcing a week off to rest and wait for an announcement on their future in the NCAA regionals, and basketball doesn't start until Nov. 22. The men's and women's swimming teams went up against the University of Colorado Nov. 9 (the men won big, by the way), but 9 a.m. on a Saturday morning is a time for sleep and recoveiy, not swimming. Needless to say, I was one of the people who chose bed over the pool. This gap in activity, though it truly tears at my very soul, gives me an excuse and an opportunity to write about something this university usually doesn't allow me to. Football. The gridiron. Three yards and a cloud of dust. Knute Rockne and the Gipper. The wishbone and blitzing safeties. The national champ...oh, sorry. I didn't mean to ramble on like that. You see, it's just that I don't get to write about my autumn passion very often thanks to MSCD's founders and those greedy Buffalows up in Boulder. ,, All of you who read "From the cheap seats" (a loyal following of two - thanks Mom and Dad) have probably noticed I have more than a passing dislike for CU and its pigskin program. Well, that is due mostly to preacher Bill

and all his bandwagon disciples, but the roots do run a little deeper than that. In the state bill that invented the school that was to be an alternative for those who weren't good enough for schools like, say, CU for instance, the founders promised never to field a football team. High injury risks and even higher insurance rates right? Wrong. MSCD isn't allowed. to play football because in 1963, when the Colorado General Assembly passed the bill that brought the school into existence, it was made a condition that the institution would never play the sport. Why? In terms of the political mumbojumbo and doublespeak that constitutes a bill, it was made law because the school's purpose was, "To serve the needs for higher education in the Denver metroplitan area," not play football. If that is the case, then why does MSCD have 10 other athletic programs (11 until women's softball was last year). No, the reason was much more devious. The people up at ol' CU realized the potential of a new school to grow in size and athletic prominence. So to ensure there was no future rival for fan support within the metro area, they lobbied and made sure that football was forbidden here. The crystal ball they used was worth its weight in gold helmets because MSCD has grown to 17 ,000 students and, if Coach Mac and his boys are removed from the equation, has an athletic program equal to CU's. (Equal is a relative term here since CU is

a Division I program while MSCD has to deal with the funding of a Division II institution.) Their men's basketball success was a one-year fantasy and can't touch the yearin-year-out acbie\'.ments ofBob Hull and his cagers. With the departure of Tiny Grant from CSU, Hull is now the most respected college hoops coach in the state. The women's hoopers up at CU have had some success, but they, too, are in rapid decline. Darryl Smith has turned MSCD's team into a winner. The Roadrunner men's swimming team recently crushed CU 138-93, but I must admit I am impressed with our foe's accomplishment because while most bison can't swim, apparently these ones can at least float. And, in an appalling example of just how deficient Buffao athletics are, they don't even have a baseball program. The Big Eight (or in this case Big Seven) is one of the top baseball conferences in the NCAA, but a hardball at CU is a frozen orange burled at aNebraska Comhusker, not something to be bit with an Easton. Look for the Roadrunners to be in the Division II baseball tournament come springtime. But depriving the little school in Denver of football i~ OK, I guess_At least CU feeds our football appetite with teams that manage at least one tie every year and eek out victories over powerhouse teams like Oklahoma State and Kansas State. Now that's tradition. Give me a break.

If you want to watch real college football in all of its tradition and glory you 're forced out of the state. Anyone interested in seeing a quality matchup between two perennial powers can watch the real national championship game Nov. 16 between Miami and Florida State. Year after year, come New Year's Day, these two teams are always the best in college football, despite what the polls say. Had CU played Miami or FSU in last season's Orange Bowl, it would still be looking for its first national championship. Miami and FSU playing each other. Hey, theres an idea, intrastate rivalries. We used to have something close to that until McCartney pulled the plug on Colorado State so he could concentrate all his energy on his obsession with beating Nebraska and disciplining his wayward Buffs. Let's see, what do we have to thank CU for since 1963. A tainted national championship, a few winning seasons, a police blotter thicker than "War and Peace," and Chuck Fairbanks. Fairbanks alone is criminal enough to ban CU from the gridiron. Thanks, CU, for serving the Colorado football public with such dignity and prosperity, and for keeping that demon sport off our campus.
