Do MSCD students' votes really count when they are cast in a referendum?

In MSCD referendums, students are only a recommending body, said Angie Binder, student government staff assistant.

Although the student government constitution states that a majority of students must approve a measure for it to become law, "everything has to be approved by someone higher than us anyway," Binder said.

"We like to think we're in charge, but we 're just a recommending body," she said.

All three schools on the Auraria Campus have different methods for approving items brought to referendum, but imposing new student fees is ultimately decided by other boards and committees at all three schools.

The recent University of Colorado at Deriver referendum asking students for an additional $35 a semester to take over the Tivoli is one example. Had the students voted for the takeover, the University of Colorado Board of Regents would have still had to approve the measure.

Sometimes referendums are held only to measure student opinion, sai~ .Michael Simmons, director of UCD Studenl\l.ife.

"Very few things are consider~nding in an individual school' s referendum," Simmons said.

The UCO-Tivoli referendum was a "barometer" of student support, Simmons said.

Even if students had approved the fee, the Regents would have made the final decision, Simmons said.

In campuswide issues, however, the

majority of students usually must approve new fees before they can be assessed, said Emerson Holliday, division director of Auraria Student Services.

The only time - campuswide - when students wouldn't be consulted would be if the Auraria Higher Education Center could not pay off a lender, Holliday said. Then, the Auraria Board of Directors could raise student bond fees without student consent.

Student bond fees pay for facilities.

When students voted in a campuswide referendum last spring to pay $3 to turn the Tivoli into the new Student Union, their votes determined the outcome, Holliday said.

"If students had said 'No, we don't want to increase our fees,' the Tivoli would not have happened," Holliday said. In February, a campuswide referendum is planned to ask students to help fund construction for an addition to the Auraria Child Care Center.

Unlike the UCD-Tivoli referendum, which was organized quickly, the child-care referendum will have gone through all the necessary channels before students vote on it, said Chip Wiman, MSCD student government president.

The channels include approval from the Auraria Board of Directors and the Auraria Executive Committee.

If the child-care referendum passes, it will "basically become law," Wiman said.

Even in an individual school issue, student government and students can let administrators know how they feel before a referendum is ever held.

"If anyone adds a fee or increases my tuition, they 'd better be knocking on my door and include us in the process," Wiman said.

Some of the best minds - and mouths - can be found right here at MSCD. Yes, mouths.

MSCD bas one of the strongest debate and forensics teams in th~ state. At the nationally known tournament held

at Colorado College Oct. 26 and 27, the novice debate team took ninth place out of 43 teams in the open divisions.

This semester, the team competed in two tournaments and was successful at each. The first was the Top of the Rockies Forensics Tournament held in Laramie, Wyo., Oct. 5 and 6. M~CD finished third out of 20 teams.

The second tournament was held Oct. 11 to 13 in Casper, Wyo. MSCD beat out 25 schools and took iop awards in the novice debate category. Individual speaker Kari Vas by took

second place for overall speaker and placed fifth out of 84 people in Impromptu speaking. Vasby could soon qualify for national tournaments with two more strong showings.

Other strong competitors to watch for are Dawn Jacobs and Nick DePaulo.

NEWS Briefly Student Union thefts Several thefts have hit the Student Union in the past few weeks, leaving few clues as to the perpetrators.

Approximately $430 has been stolen from the MSCD Student Activities office, and a tape recorder and copy key were stolen from the MSCD student government office.

Over the weekend of Nov. 9 to 10, the offices in Conference Services in Student Union Room 210 were burglarized and a desk was broken into attheHealth Center.

Emerson Holliday, division director of Student Services, said the thefts must be inside jobs because there has been no evidence of forced entry into the three offices.

"Someone bas a key," Holliday said at the Nov. 8 SACAB meeting.

A report bas been filed with Auraria Public Safety.

Dates changed for spring semester

The 1991-92 calendar for the spring semester has been changed. Classes were scheduled to begin on Jan. 14, but will now begin on Jan. 13. Orientation and registration were originally scheduled for Jan. 8to13, but have been changed to Jan. 7 to 10. The dates for Martin Luther King Jr. Day and spring break have not been changed.

Overcrowded classes lead to cheating DAVJS, Calif. (NSNS)-Theincrease of students and the lack of classroom space has made it easier to cheat at the University of California at Davis, according to the school's Student Judicial Affairs Committee.

The committee said there has been a 40 percent rise in reported cases of academic misconduct over the last five years.

Charges filed in selling of term papers TAMPA, Fla. (NSNS)-Charges were filed on Oct. 27 against A. Engler Anderson for allegedly writing two term papers in criminology for students at the University of South Florida.

If Anderson is found guilty, the state prosecutor recommends that he donate $500 to the criminology department.

LSAT seminar Nov. 25 A two-hour workshop titled Mastering the LSAT will be held at noon Nov. 25 in Room 230 of the Student Union.

The workshop, sponsored by the MSCD Legal Studies Oub, will be presented by Stanley H. Kaplan Educational Center.

Three sections of the LSAT will be covered: logic games, reading comprehension and logical reasoning.

The workshop is free to members of the Legal Studies Club and $1 for nonmembers. <.'

Club funding faces bylaw changes Riki Doherty The Metropolitan

Proposed changes in the Student Affairs Board bylaws could make it more difficult for student clubs and organizations to obtain funding.

The proposed changes would require all clubs to go through the Club Funding Committee to obtain funds. The changes would also require organizations seeking funds to be sponsored by a fee-funded program, such as CFC or student government.

There are about 25 student-fee-funded programs, and about 60 recognized clubs and organizations, said Karen Thorpe, chair of SAB and dean of Student Life.

"This will make it harder for new clubs to get funding."

Angie Binder, student government staff assistant Angie Binder, student government staff assistant, said that many existing clubs may never have been started if they had to go through the proposed system.

"This will make it harder for new clubs to get funding," she said.

The proposal would not change the usual process of receiving funds from the SAB. Most clubs go through the Club Funding Committee, which allocates money to clubs, Thorpe said.

"This proposal will limit who can request money. Every student has money that goes in through student fees, every student should have acce~s to the money," Binder said.

In special cases, a club may request more money than the CFC can process and the club may be referred directly to the SAB, but that is unusual , Thorpe said.

"Our goal is to give out as much money as we can allocate to accepted organizations; the proposed changes should not affect this," Thorpe said.

"We decided this year that the organizations had to be tied into a fee-funded program which would be responsible for what is done."

In the past, SAB had allocated funds for an event that was poorly prepared and had a low turnout, Thorpe said.

"Someone has to take responsibility. We want to be fluid and flexible.If we haven't done well we can say 'this isn't working' and we can still make changes if needed,"

Flit photo I The Metropoitan

Karen Thorpe, chair of SAB Thorpe said.

Thorpe suggested setting money aside for club and organization conferences. The suggestion is still being discussed.

"We think that there are quite a few clubs that want to hold conferences," Thorpe said.

"Conferences don't always just spend money.

Sometimes they make money. CFC can't handle the funding of a lot of club conferences. This would make it possible to hold these conferences without taking all the funds from CFC." 0

Almost six years of waiting for funding approval has finally allowed for the restoration of St. Cajetan 's, an Auraria Campus landmark.

"We are trying to restore the building as closely as possible to its original appearance," said Dean Wolf, vice president for Operations at Auraria.

The restoration has been planned for five or six years, Wolf said, but funding was not available until this year. The $240,000 in funding was provided through the State Controlled Maintenance Program.

Jim Kelley, division director for Auraria facilities management, said construction was delayed because of the process they had to go through.

"The first step in the project was adver• S. Eliott Fey I The Metropolilan tising for a contractor," Kelley said.

debate teams.

Ryan said that MSCD has a tougher time being successful in this area because since 1980 the school has only had one full-time coach and adviser.

"Our competitors are just as talented as those at larger schools," Ryan said.

Students who participate in speech or debate tend to have "a leg up in the world," Ryan said, because they 're learning to improve their communication skills and be competitive in an intelligent and academic realm which can °be valuable to their careers.

Members of the debate team compete in a variety of speaking and and debating areas.

Public Address allows contestants to design, write, and deliver their own original speech.

Minimal Preparation events are broken down into Impromptu and Extemporaneous

categories. Contestants are allowed 30 minutes to prepare a seven-minute speech on a topic selected by a national committee.

Ryan said this area of competition is of most value to students because it encourages them to become more efficient in researching information and learning to "think on their feet."

Oral Interpretation is more fun for the audience to watch, Ryan said, because it is more theatrical. It deals with prose, drama and poetry.

Currently, many of the issues the team must debate deal with the political correctness movement, Ryan said.

In any case, speakers and debators alike are judged on clarity, factual aspects, and overall deliverance of their topics.

To get involved with MSCD forensics, students need to enroll in Intercollegiate Forensics, SPE 305 for beginners, or SPE 405 for more experienced speakers.

Lost and Found is 'gateway to lost wo_ rld' Curt Olson The Metropolitan

The information center in the Student Union is the gateway to a lost world, the land of lost and found on campus.

The center is a wellspring of hope that reunites owners with past possessions.

Supplied with daily offerings of lost soles, sweaters and objects of every kind and value, the staff that shepherds the lost and found department finds it a reaffirming exercise in people's honesty.

"It's amazing how many billfolds and purses get turned in with the money in them," said Jeff Stamper, operations manager for the Student Union. "You'd be surprised how many times people come up and say, 'This (bank card) was left In the bank machine.'"

The money, credit cards and valuables turned in are tucked away in a safe.

Nora Garcia is a junior finance major who staffs the booth 15 hours a week. She modeled one of the latest additions, a long purple stole that looks like it belongs to a priest. Garcia will log the stole in the records book and take it to a back room where it joins a cast of dog-eared notebooks and clothing waiting fo(owners. In the past, a leg brace and an orthodontic retainer have found a temporary home here.

The lost treasures of Auraria share cramped quarters in a room housing a computer printer. They are secured in a locked

supply cabinet, a space, like the rest of the campus, that is feeling the pressures of crowding.

The information center is the main repository for the eclectic, ever-changing collection of lost and found on campus. The library sends items daily. The bookstore sends things, and Auraria Public Safety also drops off items.

Carolyn Culver supervises the staff in the information booth and is the curator of the lost and found property.

"We're getting such a volume now we 're going to have to start weeding out more regularly," she said.

Items are held for a semester. Then, anything that has been around more than 30 days that is usable goes to area shelters.

Books go to the campus library.

"It's amazing how many billfolds and purses get turned in with the money in them."

Jeff Stamper, operations manager

And books come in on a regular basis, as do keys. There are car keys, house keys, shiny keys and worn keys, but the key to getting lost items returned is simple, according to Culver. Make sure your name and phone number are on your property. ''These are survival things people are

missing," Culver said.

Somehow, the essential tools of the day backpacks, fanny packs, $60 textbooks, calculators and day planners - all get lost in the shuffle and wind up at lost and found.

Stamper said he is shocked by the number of prescription eyeglasses turned in. Perhaps the loss of vision accounts for the bicycle seats or wheels that are left behind.

"People are just absent-minded, I guess," Garcia said. "They 're stressed about finals."

But while people may be forgetful, Garcia said they are exceptionally honest. She said she never sees people trying to claim something that is n't theirs. She remembered the heartache of one faculty member, a visiting professor from China, s. Elliott Fey / The Me1ropolian who lost his briefcase. In Nora Garcia displays some of the odd Items that have found it were his completed, but their way to the Student Union Information Office. ungraded, final exams.

They were never turned in.

Esquibel said that MSCD is working toward hiring more minority administrators and faculty in order to attract minority students. A series of incentives, such as helping minority instructors complete their doctorates and the hiring of minority department chairs, are being used in hopes of increasing minority enrollment at MSCD. Garcia said that the more minority administrators and faculty MSCD employs, the more welcome minority students will feel on campus. Garcia said that her first months at MSCD were difficult because of the few Chicano students in her classes.

"Trying to assimilate was hard because of the.low minority enrollment," she said.

Garcia said she feels that forcing minority students to assimilate into a foreign culture isn't fair. All minorities need to discover their own roots before they can learn about other cultures and their histories, she said.

"If you don't know yourself, you can't know anybody else," Garcia said.

MSCD needs to offer more to minority students once they are enrolled, according to Garcia. Even though th~ Institute for

Intercultural Studies and Services offers contract majors in Chicano Studies and African-American Studies, she said that the programs lack an attraction factor which lure minority students to the programs.

"There used to be a Chicano studies program, but it was combined with AfricanAmerican studies program and formed the multicultural contract major," Garcia said.

With the melting of the two programs, she said minority identity on campus was lost.

"Learning about your culture and its history gives you a good start to learning about education," she said. With the combination ofthe multicultural program, Garcia said that the first step to learning for minorities was also lost.

The results of Esquibel's research and development of his theory of "Career Mobility of Chicano Administrators in Higher Education" will be published by the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education in January. Esquibel will present his study at the American Association of Higher Education's national conference next April in Chicago.

THE METROPOLITAN

November 22, 1991

DIVERSITIES Course raises consciousness abou-t other cultures Janie Y. Tinnon The Metropolitan

Crossing over into other worlds is the feat offantasy starships and dream travelers.

Crossing over into other cultures is the purpose of the Multicultural Issues in Human Services course.

The MSCD human services department is dedicated to help people with special problems. The multicultural course explores many possible aspects of cultural differences and fosters a deeper understanding between counselor and client.

Tony Ledesma, MSCD associate professor of human services, designed the course so that students would understand people of different cultures when working with them in counseling sessions.

"I believe the charge in teaching a multicultural course is to uncover our prejudices against people," Ledesma said. "Then we can become sensitive to our humanrelations responsibilities to the individual."

The course focuses on the four main groups of color: blacks, Asians, Hispanics and Native Americans.

"I think within my class, all aspects should be examined," Ledesma said. "Not only the four groups, but including gender and socioeconomic status."

Ben Monroe, MSCD associate professor, and Ledesma introduced the course, and

in Spring 1989 it breathed new questions and insights into the department.

"I think the course has been an eyeawakening experience for a number of students," Ledesma said. "They haven't realized how subtly they've been influenced to be racist from childhood. They've also had prejudices in regards to gender and socioeconomic status."

Many of the students say the course is well-focused and well-rounaed in presenting multicultural issues and teaching students to relate effectively to future clients.

"I came into this class knowing it all," said Darlene Chinn, MSCD senior. "I've found I knew very little. The course actual!y flexes your intellectual muscles."

MSCD senior Terry Pichot said it was an excellent course.

"It has destroyed some of the stereotyping I had before," Pichot said. "Tony (Ledesma) doesn't get lost in the psychoanalytical aspects of the issues. He gives the global aspect and we need more of that."

The course has also enlightened other areas of cultural concern. According to Kathy Burrows, MSCD junior, who refers to herself as disabled, says that the course has made her realize that individuals with disabilities have similar problems.

"This course has raised my consciousness about different cultures," Burrows said.

"It also helps me realize that a lot of what Tony says about different cultures applies to issues the disabled has to deal with. People with disabilities are part of a culture, too like a subculture."

According to Monroe, the 1980s inspired

Tony Ledesma

s. Elllott fey /The Metropolilan

a national movement in the Human Services field to incorporate such a course into the discipline.

"I think there is an enlightenment across the nation where there is a need to be more committed with multicultural groups," Monroe said.

Professionals in the field knew there was a need to teach counselors how to counsel clients of other cultures.

"It's imperative for students who are majoring in social services to learn to work within a diversified population," Monroe said. "Their clientele will be predominantly people of color."

A similar type of multicultural course is already being incorporated into the MSCD general studies course requirements for the

entire student community by the MSCD administration.

Human services is ahead of implementing this requirement, because the multicultural course would fulfill those general studies requirements. The department is proposing its students be able to apply for the course and satisfy the requirement.

"Faculty members are coming to the revelation that we're becoming more of a multicultural nation," Monroe said.

Ledesma said the women's and men's movements are guilty of male and female "bashing" and that these actions are sexist.

"Betty Friedan in 1972 explained the women's movement as a human liberation movement," Ledesma said. 'Therefore my concern in teaching a multicultural course is to emphasize the uniqueness of the individual and to stimulate respect for the individual's race, culture, gender and socioeconomic status."

According to students, the course seems to have met its goal of teaching future counselors about diversity and how to relate to their clients.

'This class has given me an unique perspective of different races' viewpoint on things,"MaryannPeratt,MSCDsenior. "It's been excellently taught and I've enjoyed the gender aspect of the class. It's given me a more concrete explanation about people of different cultures."

"Some people came into this class with the attitude 'I won't work with this person or that person,"' Chinn said. "No one considered until they took the class that each person has value, usefulness and can be counseled effectively despite their culture." 0

CAMPUS AND ABROAD Opportunities abound for international study Linda Hansen The Metropolitan

If you've always dreamed of studying in a foreign country, your dream can become a reality. Opportunities in England, Scotland, Australia and Mexico are yours for the taking.

The Study Abroad program offers students an opportunity to study in foreign countries in cooperation with their home college programs.

There are opportunities to stay in countries from two weeks to one semester, depending on the country and studies that a student chooses. The only semester-long program available at MSCD is the London Semester program.

With the average MSCD student working a job or two and taking a full load of classes, it might seem impossible to break

away for a few weeks to a couple of months.

This is when Mary Anne Krohn, director of MSCD's Study Abroad program, will tell you there ' s always a way to study abroad.

Krohn explains, "The loans that you've been awarded can be applied if the institution that you'll be attending was approved through the U.S. Department of Education."

and th_e ir children loved it. One mother's daughter is ready to go live in the place where her mother studied abroad, she said.

Underlying what Krohn had to say is the theme of planning. Planning and saving money ahead will save you time and frustration down the line. "It' s not like the drivethrough at McDonald' s," she said. "It's like "(It is) the opportunity to change when a guy goes in to buy a suit. If he's going to spend that much on a suit, he's your life." going to make sure the tailoring is right. If Mary Anne Krohn, Study Abroad you want instant study abroad, there's going Krohn also encourages students to see if to be pieces that don't fit together." their financial aid would apply to the college The emphasis is to find a program that they will be attending overseas. Thereare will fit students' needs and wants, and in always scholarships available; new on~s for order to do this they must plan ahead. The minority students, as well as existing ones best time to study abroad is the junior year, for all other students. The money problem because students have most of their general can be dealt with, but what about the single studies out of the way, but are not overwhelmed with classes in their majors. Also, student with children?

Krohn tells of two mothers who took by this time students are probably on a advantage of the study abroad programs, steady routine with school life, and things are not as confusing as their first two years.

Students should make sure that the program they choose will transfer to their home colleges before they leave the country. This is important to find out first, so that they don't spend the money and time studying abroad, then find out they have to take all the credits over again.

"One of the most incredible things about going abroad, to me, is the opportunity to change your life - every aspect of your

Mary Anne Krohn life," Krohn said. "That getting under the skin of another culture can change your life." People come back excited and renewed, she said.

Krohn emphasizes that Study Abroad is available to anyone who is interested in another culture. She said people have to surround themselves with supportive people that will encourage them to follow through with their plans.

EDITORIAL Remember others during holiday of 'giving Lawrence Jones Editor

Every Thanksgiving we are reminded by some do-gooder about what we should all be thankful for. Why should this year be any different.

Actually, it is good that we take a moment to think of what we do have in life. Sometimes we forget it all so easily.

The problem with trying to remind others of what is good in life is that often ...they

don't have it.

What do you say to a homeless person?

Be thankful you have your health?

Well, they don't always have that. Should we tell them that it could always be worse? Perhaps they have lost their family, their home, their fortune, their health and their sense of self-worth and they don't feel that things could possibly get worse. Could you?

"Thanksgiving is not a time to simply list what we should all be thankful for, it is a time to think of others ... " What can you say to someone who has recently lost a friend or loved one, a

pet, their money, their apartment due to fire or their parents are refusing to talk to them because they decided to have a child without a husband?

The point is simply this: Sometimes there will never be the right thing to say.

Some say that the British will rarely ask a personal question because they would feel embarrassed if you answered with something bad. The Russian people find it improper to ask another "how's it going?" Americans find it an easy question to ask, but we rarely listen to the answer.

Thanksgiving is not a time to simply list what we should all be thankful for, it is a time to think of what others may not have. Not everyone can afford to give of their property or a lot of their time, but we

can all afford to give a little.

Take the time to listen to someone you care about. Take the time to drop off a dollar to a charity, any charity. Take the time to give away an old coat that does nothing but take up closet space.

In other words, take the time to do something.

It doesn't matter what you do as long as you do something that matters.

That's what holidays are about.

Me, I'm going to clean out my closets of what no longer fits. I'm going to pick up a few extra cans of food for someone who needs it. Then, I'm going to hold my wife and tell her that I love her. I'll tell my brother and my folks that I love them too. And I'll ask them how they're doing ... and I'll listen.

-

VIEWPOINT Racism just doesn't make sense to this Last summer, they held a rally in Expo park for the skinheads and the Ku Klux Klan.

I did not attend.

Now, don't go callin' me high-an-mighty cause I ain't. I grew up down in Arkansas and, based on my history, I suppose I could have grown up hatin' others for silly reasons just as much as the next guy. Fact is, I don't know how I grew up to be able to get along with others so well.

Normally, I wouldn't stand up and talk about these things in public. I ain't too proud to admit that I'm no great writer or voice for the people and such. And I guess I'd better warn you before you read on that coherency ain't exactly my strong point, neither.

But I been readin' up a lot on this new thing goin' 'round about how we'r.e all supposed to be politically

convex (I may have flubbed that up, I don't know, but ya'll know what I mean). That and all this hoo-haw over racism and such; well, it just twisted my fruit-of-thelooms a half turn too far. So you see, I had to write this down and get it out.

When I moved up here from Arkansas, I thought I'd be leavin' all that hatred behind me. But the Klan, like syphilis, tends to follow a man wherever he goes.

I guess I really wanted to ask my fellow students how they thought we could get around all this stuff and live life in harmony. Don't get me wrong, the problems ain't near as bad up here as they was in Arkansas. That boy, what's his name, who put on them skinhead shindigs at the Capitol and Expo park last year? No offense, but I knew rednecks down home that'd use that boy for a horse thermometer and not give it a

boy

second thought.

The government can't do much. They got their hands tied by more than the Constitution. I was watch in' them there Thomas hearings, and I must confess to being a little amazed at the complexities of the American Legislaxative system. I have yet to meet another body of people who could spend so much time and energy not gettin' involved in something. No, we got to make changes ourselves if we're gonna get anything done.

The first thing I'd like to tell ya'll is to ignore the Klan at every one of these rallies. When was the last time you saw a blurb in the newspaper announcin' when the next cross burning was gonna take place? The real danger in people like that is whatthey do behind closed doors and out in secluded fields.

I think tne best defense is to either ignore them or laugh at them. I do. Think you can't?

And don't worry so much about this Politically Erect (did I get that right this time?) fad that's goin' 'round. Seems to me it's probably the most detailed excuse for lack of human understanding they ever put out. Truth is, I ain't got the time to worry about what to call this man or that whoa-man. Shucks, "friend," "brother" and "sister'' was all I've ever needed to get along anyway.

But I'm just a simple boy an' I don't make no claims to havin' my system of personal ethics, the rules by which we all rule our lives, completed. I suppose, like the rest of you, I got a long piece to go toward being politically corrupt. Maybe I been sittin' in the sun too . long, watchin' rallies and counterdemonstrators and such. But I'm strange and there ain't no gettin' 'round that. I just stepped back one day and saw that the real deal on this world unity stuff that looks so neat is to get everyone curious about each other instead of afraid.

Try to make 'em get along BECAUSE they're different, not in spite of that.

Well, call me an Arky and make me wear shoes, . but I just thought everyone should have a hand in solving a problem that hurts everyone. I'll quit jawing at ya'll now. And, if you promise notto send too gawdawful many politically bereft (Think I got it that time) letter to this here fine newspaper, I promise to keep my Arky yap shut for the rest of the year.

Maybe.

LETTERS Sen. Jones is "wallowing in his own coarse bigotry" Editor, Youth may excuse the ignorance MSCD student Sen. James Jones (Viewpoint, The Met 11 /1 /91) displays in his writing on the subject of race-based educational financial aid, but there is no excuse for the racial hate-mongering presented in his rambling tirade.

Hypocritically brandishing stereotype and gener. alization himself, Mr. Jones condemns, in toto, the 'White" segment of the MSCD student body as racist for displaying what he has decided is racial "paranoia" and "fear." Mr. Jones, wallowing in his own coarse bigotry, is apparently incapable of recogn.izing what an objective observer would easily identify as nothing more than uninformed confusion.

The Auraria Campus, in case Mr. Jones hadn't noticed, is not Harvard. Chances are, the rich people who Mr. Jones erroneously believes constitute the bulk of Auraria's 'White" student population, actually hail from the same lower, or low-to-low-middleincome, working class milieu as those he identifies as the "minorities." But what are mere facts compared to the orgiastic pleasures of hate-motivated self-delusion?

Mr. Jones reports that he's discovered a chimeric conspiracy: Some of these poor white students, a panicky Mr. Jones informs, find it difficult to follow the reasoning behind their being denied financial aid on the basis of the pale hue of their hides. And this, a nearly hysterical Mr. Jones implies, proves that every 'White" OI). campus has a pillowcase and a length of rope hidden in his or her book bag.

Contrary to Mr. Jones limpid assertions, perception by "Whites" at MSCD that "minorities" receive a disproportionately larger piece of the financial aid pie aren't necessarily hateful and bigoted. Regardless of Mr. Jones' insipid attempts to deny it, reality is colorblind.

According to the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators, just under half of all fulltime college students receive financial aid (just over half of this aid is in the form of loans). Since Mr. Jones may also have failed to notice that this is not MSCAtlanta, he might not realize that MSCD (or Denver as a whole) has a relatively small African-American population. It's a matter of simple ratiocination to then conclude that "Whites" receiving financial aid naturally outnumber African-Americans receiving aid. But Mr. Jones, either through ignorance, or by design, fails to

reveal that under present affirmative action guidelines, PROPORTIONATELY more African-American (and other non-white-designated) students receive the same aid.

Mr. Jones wants it both ways. He wants his skin color to be ignored when applying for a job at Big Bucks Inc. (and it should be), but he wants that same insignificant genetic differentiation to be the major favorable factor considered when he's applying for educational financial aid. It is exactly this sort of inconsistency which had otherwise egalitarian-minded "Whites" supporting a former KKK Grand Wizard for the governorship of Louisiana, and which also has ll'':tny white students not only confused, but just as angry as Mr. Jones.

Some people see affirmative action programs like race-based educational financial aid as just compensation for centuries of repression and as a means of equalization. And, for a time, they may have served that purpose. But enough is enough. Today many Americans (of all shades) see these programs as systems of prejudicial favoritism which rob them of free choice, of employment and educational opportunities, and which have some Americans paying for crimes and inequities to which neither they, nor their equally repressed and preyed-upon Irish, or Polish, or Italianimmigrant ancestors were ever party to. Programs of this nature, which convey preference to one group over another based entirely upon race, are textbook examples of institutionalized racism.

As one of the "Whites" whom Mr. Jones tars with his racial "paranoia" brush, I can promise that I don't fear this campus' being overrun by a dark mob. I DO fear those who hold the strings of a partitive puppet like Mr. Jones; those who, with the twitch of a pinky, have the Mr. Joneses of this nation (regardless of exterior coloration) eagerly and mindlessly spouting their wellrehearsed bigotry and hatred. I fear those who so skillfully manipulate cannon fodder like Mr. Jones in their campaign to distract America's poor working class; this nation's Third World, with race hatred in order to further their own greedy ends and to quietly and insidiously bleed our rights and freedoms dry. Mr. Jones, much to his own dismay I'm sure, doesn't evoke fear. Mr. Jones evokes only pity and disgust.

And that's MY opinion.

J.M. Schell, MSCD student

Minorities can succeed on basis of our own merits Editor, In response to the letter from peer counselor Skinner re: "Us against them mentality."

I am surprised and dismayed that a person of such learned expertise would make such a narrow interpretation of James Jones' opinion. Ironically, his letter seems to answer your question as to how we can achieve racial equality.

We are fortunate that in our country's short history our attempts to curb racial discrimination have accomplished much. However, in reality, racism is not dead.

Today minorities battle yet another form of discrimination, the kind which assumes that minorities succeed simply because they are minorities.

.

We minorities are tired of people assuming that we will succeed, not on the basis of our own merits, but rather the color of our skin. It is wrong for society to assume that affirmitive action programs give "special treatment" or "preference" to people of color. It does not. It merely offers minorities the same opportunity everyone else enjoys. This misconception, Ms. Skinner, is the gist of Mr. Jones' argument.

I did not draw the conclusion that his letter exhibited an "us against them" mentality. I am curious to know, however, just how you arrived at this. Perhaps you are experiencing a bit of "white paranoia."

Lynette Gonzales, MSCD student

Fellowship welcomes gays as members, not leaders Editor, lnterVarsity Christian Fellowship has been approached by many who wonder where we stand in regard to the sexual orientation clause proposed by the MSCD student government. This clause contains several ambiguities. What does sexual orientation mean? Is it meant for club leadership or only for membership? IVCF is in compliance with the official MSCD anti-discrimination policy.

Membership in our club is obtained by students, faculty and staff who attend any regular function at

least half time. Although we believe the Bible has clear indication of all types of sexual orientation, anyone is welcome to attend a Bible study, social event or outreach activity. However, our objection to this clause is how it might affect o~r selection of leaders. Other clubs have criteria for selecting leaders. Just as a Republican club would not be expected to elect a Democrat for president, we should not be expected to allow someone who does not follow our Biblical basis of belief to be a leader.

Holly Nelson, vice president of ICVF.

THEMETROPOLITAN

Labs take the byte out of term papers Antoinette Vecchio The Metropolitan F?r many college students, writing a term paper or report is inevitable. For MSCD students, the process has become easier.

MSCD students, or any student enrolled in a class that requires computer use, have free access to any of the 159 computers and printers in the eight computer labs on campus.

Students can do word processing, spreadsheets, data bases, drafting and other programs available through computer sys-

terns and software.

Lab personnel is available to assist students with computer operations, and manuals are available for students to use while in the labs.

There is no charge for paper for printouts, but students should purchase a floppy disk to store their work.

MSCD students began paying this fall $12.50 a semester of their student fees to support and pay for the labs. This new fee is paying for new equipment and renovations of the labs.

Most of the computer labs are in the West Classroom on the second floor. Other labs

are in the Science Building. A new lab, which opened this fall in the South Classroom, is an example of what the labs will look like after all the renovations are done.

Students using the labs are asked to follow these rules and suggestions: • Food, drinks or smoking are not allowed in labs.

• Copying of software is illegal.

• A one-hour time limit is enforced when there is a wait list.

• Start assignments early to avoid the end-of-semester rush.

• Labs are busiest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. and there may be a waiting list.

Students must have a valid ID or registration confirmation slip to use the computers.

For information, stop by one of the computer labs or call the computer center at 0 556-8325.

PEOPLE Swedish journalist wants to live life 'On The Road' Kim Brown Features Editor

Her bouncy, happy walk is recognizable a block away. Her smile is noticeable from almost that far. This happy-go-lucky Swedish girl, who dreams of going "cafe hopping" around the world, meets life with poetic fervor.

Blond, wholesome Katarina Ahlfort, 24, was born in Skara, southwest Sweden. Her mother, an architect, and her father, a building engineer, are modern, open people, "but not one of those bleeding-heart liberal types," she said.

At 19, after she graduated from high school, Ahlfort visited Denver. "I came here because of Jack Kerouac - On the Road," she said in her strong Swedish accent. "I figured, I have to see Larimer Square before I die."

Denver left an impression on her, because she came back in August 1990- but not before unbridling some of that free spirit of hers and discovering a little bit about the world.

"I was moving around because I was restless. I didn't know what to do," she said.

"I had no degrees or anything. It was like I had to find my place in the world."

A bit more settled now, Ahlfort is a sophomore at MSCD, majoring in journalism, minoring in English. She lives on Poets

Row in Capitol Hill, goes to school full time, and works part-time in the Auraria Book <;enter. She gets around mostly on foot.

Journalism is not new to Ahlfort. She worked for Swedish newspapers for three years, two of them at the Skara Tidning, her hometown newspaper.

In one exciting month, Ahlfort' s general assignment job took her into the sky twice. First, she went sky diving with the Hercules Boogie, an international sky diver association. They had an 80-passenger plane that went higher than the regularly used Cessnas usually go, she said. A couple of weeks later, she found herself flying from Sweden to Denmark in 10 minutes in an SK-60 fighter plane.

Katarina wants a career in journalism, as a freelance foreign correspondent.

She said one journalist who inspired her

her, and she spends a lot of time doing it. She also enjoys talking to people in neighborhood cafes and coffee shops.

"I want to write about people.

Everybody's got their own story," she said.

"There's always a great story within every person."

As for her future, she said, "I don't have a more concrete goal than traveling and writing- that's all I want to do. And I don't know how yet, but it's nice because I don't have any pressure from my parents or anything. They'd be happy if I was happy."

Her mother told her once that she could see her daughter becoming a professional "cafe hopper" - "You know, go on trains from town to town and find people to write books about, and just sit in cafes," she said, smiling.

Although Katarina likes the energy and creativity of Americans, spawned by the survival tactics people build in a society in which survival is not made as easily as it is in Sweden, she doesn't plan to stay.

Ahlfort sees herself living in Italy for a while - "women are worshiped there, no matter the age and looks" - and visiting Turkey, Egypt, Canada and the Faeroe Islands, between Iceland and Great Britain.

No matter where time may find Ahlfort, she'll be able to catch you up on her life. It will all be written down in one of her books. a

was a news editor at one of the Swedish papers where she worked .

"He's one person that's really influenced me. He taught me that there's news to be found in everything.

You can always turn a really boring story into something good," she said.

Ahlfort' s real passion is writing. She's writing "books." She's on her 45th one, she said. She pulls from her backpack a professionally bound soft cover book with a handwritten "45" on it.

"It's not a journal," she said. "It's just stuff that's happening and you know, stuff to keep track of time." The "stuff' consists of anecdotes, thoughts, poems and short stories. "Stuff' that she can look back on later, she said. "It's more than a journal."

Writing, Ahlfort said, comes naturally to.

November 22, 1991

CAMPUS POLITICS Socialists seek economic justice Kari Vasby The Metropolitan In a time of political apathy, cynics speculate that the only reason the masses would rise up might be to change the channel on the .television. Tom Mestnik, president of the MSCD Democratic Socialists of America, has a different vision.

"I hope to form a group that combines the voice of protest with pragmatic action," he said.

Mestnik, who is also the MSCD student government vice president, was speaking to a small group of MSCD students interested in DSA, a fledgling campus organization that has been campaigning for about a year.

DSA evolved from a group of students who took a "radical voices" class taught by Charles Angeletti, an MSCD history professor. They were concerned about social reform and wanted to do something about it on a campus level.

Angeletti, a member of the national DSA, suggested forming an MSCD chapter and became the club's sponsor.

The goal ofDSA, as outlined by Mestnik, is to improve fiuman life-a lofty objective for the 12-member club.

Despite being known as a socialist organization, the DSA's political agenda is not leftist to an extreme, as some students as-

sume. The DSA supports a national health care plan, abortion rights and reform in higher education.

Angeletti said the club has been criticized by Marxist groups for compromising Marxist ideals. But he stressed the importance of minority groups working together.

"We need the ability to coalesce and,ioin with feminist groups and AfricanAmericangroups," Angeletti s. Elltott Fey I The Metropolitan said.

Angeletti echoed Lyon's sentiments by candidate with any clout is minimal.

I am having a hard time accepting my son's behavior and following through with the consequences that I establish for him. He has just graduated from high school, isn'tplanning on attending college.and doesn't seem motivated. I worl< full time, go to school full time, and do everything else that needs to be done. When I see him laying around watching TY, /truly want to punch him. I would like to not feel angry at him all the time and accept that it is his life to live as he likes as long as he pays the consequences.

Truly Frustrated

Dear Truly Frustrated, It is not uncommon for high school graduates to have difficulty in making the transition from the routine of school to making decisions about their lives. Before you choose a strategy that will effectively address the problems you are experiencing, it is important to determine the nature of your son's behavior. Here are some considerations for you to explore: 1. Was his high school experience positive or negative? If it was negative, he may be _ avoiding college to protect himself from additional failure.

2. Has he had previous work experience? If so, was it positive or negative? If not, fear of the unknown may be hampering his pursuit of work. Looking for employment, interviewing, and risking rejection is difficult for many people.

3. If he had positive experiences in school and/or work, he just may be enjoying a wellearned vacation. Many graduates take a break before pursuing longer-tenn goals such as continued education or career.

4. Does he exhibit signs of depression such as diminished interest or pleasure in most activities: significant weight loss or gain; disturbed sleeping patterns; fatigue; low self· esteem; hopelessness; poor concentration or diffuculty making decisions? If so, he should consult a professional for assessment and treatment.

To increase you satisfaction and decrease your anger, start asserting yourself more effectively. Define your limits of what is and is not acceptable. Communicate these clearly and respond to any violation or cooperation with immmediacy and consistency. Involve your son in the discussion and development of "house rules" and consequences, both positive and negative. Through his participation, he will feel more committed in implementing your mutual decisions.

Setting consequences (threats and verbal intimidation) or just inappropriate behavior is the exclusive use of punishment. This only ·generates anger, resentment, and frustration with minimal benefit. To be more effective, take the opportunity to create positive consequences (praise, approval, attention) when you see appropriate behavior. Then, when you see inappropriate behavior, you can use the withdrawal of positive consequences rather than punishment. In other instances, you can prevent inappropriate behaviors by removing those opportunities and guiding him into doing something else.

CAMPUS CLUBS Group promotes hemp as environmentally friendly David Thibodeau The Metropolitan

"What is hemp?" a curious student askeci as he passed the Auraria Hemp Club table in the Student Union.

Webster defines hemp as "a tall Asiatic herb related to the mulberry and grown for its tough fiber used in cordage, and its flowers and leaves used in drugs (marijuana)."

Michael Trimble, faculty adviser for the Auraria Hemp Club and part-time speech professor at MSCD, expands on that definition, spewing forth his viewpoint with an incredible amount of enthusiasm for the illegal plant that he feels can not only save thousands of lives, but the Earth as well.

"If hemp were re-legalized," Trimble said, "we would never have to cut down another tree for paper, and that in itself is such a phenomenal statement that nobody will believe it. Hemp has countless uses for fuel, food and medicine as well."

The purpose of the club is to raise the awareness of the possibilities surrounding the hemp plant and to push for its legalization, and as Laina Jordan, the club's president, puts it, "to dispel the smog of propaganda" surrounding the plant.

Obviously the subject is controversial, but regardless of a person's viewpoint, a

stop at the hemp table can be an interesting one.

A man on videotape speaks of the irony of his community service after being convicted for cultivating marijuana. "I had to spread de-acidifier on documents in the Boulder Public Library to preserve them," he said, "while documents printed on hemp paper before the tum of the century do not need to be de-acidified."

A friendly, bearded man by the name of Das sporting a velvet hat and tie-dyed Tshirt was more than happy to talk with anybody concerning the issue. A curious student flipped through some of the literature available at the table and asked Das about the number of deaths attributed to marijuana.

"According to the U.S. Government Bureau of Mortality Statistics, not one person has ever died from marijuana, unlike alcohol and cigarettes - both of which are legal," Das replied.

A number of interesting fund-raising items, such as hemp fiber bracelets and granola bars made with legal hemp cake, are also available at the table.

"So, is this a pot-smoking club?" a student asked.

"That's not what we're about," is the reply from Das behind the table. "We're striving to get the legalization of marijuana

for medicinal purposes on the ballot in 1992."

Many members of the club have never smoked marijuana, Trimble said. "We're not going through this so that we can legally get high," he adds.

Jordan, certified master herbalist and holistic health major at MSCD, started the club just over a month ago. With approximately 80 members, it is the fastest-growing club on campus. The club sets up its infor-

mation table every Monday in the Student Union and meets at 3:30 p.m. Mondays. ''The campus is wonderful," Jordan said.

"It provides us with an educational setting consisting ofopen-minded, intelligent people who want to know the truth.

"And the truth of the matter is,'; she said, "that we can allow the Earth to begin to heal if we can start living in a less damaging way."

Queensryche mixes tough music, thoughtful lyrics on new CD

.

Quality,

Friendly 5ervice Since 1976 We Service Most Eur'?POOn & Asian Automobiles

Jenny Jenny Music Writer

Queensryche' s rise to fame seems almost overnight. All of a sudden, out of nowhere, they were registering on Billboard's most prestigious of chart - the Top 200 Albums chart.

But things aren't always as they appear.

Queensryche has been cultivating their craft inSeattleformorethan ten years. It's only been in the recent past that the band has seen national attention, partially due to the airplay that the single Silent Lucidity got on MTV. Not only did that single do well, but Empire,their fifth release on EMI, has generated increasing interest across the U.S. Within four days of its release in September 1990, Empire was certified Gold. In comparispn, Queensryche's previous CD, Operation: Mindcrime, took a year to achieve that status.

After listening to Empire, it's easy to understand the widespread appeal dawning around Queensryche. At times their music is tough, typie'al metal. In fact, they'd blend in the top of the rock charts inconspicuously if it weren't for their intellectual and thoughtinspiring lyrics. Behind the tough exterior of a metallic collection of songs lies a wisdom that shines through in the band's poignant lyrics.

Best I Can is an up-tempo track with deep guitars and airy keyboards. The lyrics, about overcoming obstacles to become your best, speak to listeners: "Chase the light I see ahead/Luminate the path I tread/I live to be the best I can/Now I'm moving forward/ And I'm never looking back."

The title track also features a strong statement directed at a misguided younger generation. Behind the dominating drums and the lead and harmonizing guitars you '11 find a strong message about gang warfare: "Brother killing brother for the profit of another/Game point- nobody wins."

The first single, Silent Lucidity, incorporates an acoustic guitar that blends into a rich but simple mix of keyboards, electric guitars and a delicate beat. Geoff Tate's passionate vocals sing about dreams as his baritone voice almost lulls you to sleep. "You're safe from the pain in the dream domain/A soul set free to flyIA round trip journey in your head/Master of illusion, can you realize?"

Anybody Listening? begins with a distant guitar on which a full arrangement gradually builds. The song urges people to be unique individuals rather than choosing to act as society demands. "Is there anyone who smiles without a mask," the lyrics ask.

"Is there anyone that sees what's going on?/ .

Read between the lines, criticize the words they're selling./Think for yourself and feel the walls become sand beneath your feet."

The music fades, leaving behind the soothing, hypnotic sound of a calm ocean gently caressing the sandy shore.

MOVIE REVIEW DeNiro, Nolte make 'Cape Fear' an explosive thriller Barry Tobin Staff Writer

Fire and dynamite are a volatile mix, much like Robert DeNiro and Nick Nolte in the new film, Cape Fear.

The fuse on this explosive thriller by Martin Scorsese is lighted early in the film.

It sputters and crackles throughout the movie while the audience gasps, holds on, anticipates the explosion.

DeNiro portrays Max Cady, an ex-convict recently released from a Georgia prison.

His lawyer, Sam Bowden (Nolte), supressed evidence 14 years ago which could have won an acquittal. Cady wants vengeance.

Nolte's character wrestles with his conscience but justifies hiding the evidence because of the brutality of DeNiro's crime, the rape and beating of a 16-year-old girl.

"God, if you could have seen what be · did to the victim," Nolte tells a colleague. Nolte stalls in mid-sentence. The audience is left to imagine unspeakable atrocities.

DeNiro is a tattooed, cigar-smoking,

scripture-spouting madman in the movie.

He haunts Nolte's memories, he prowls Nolte'shomeatnight, andstalksNolteindreams, appearing and disappearing like a spirit.

Violence escalates. The family dog is poi-

soned. A wire from the family piano disappears. Nolte' s wife, Leigh (Jessica Lange), is awakened at night by noise. She opens the window shade to see DeNiro outside, silhouetted against fireworks exploding in the night sky. She screams, Nolte rushes to the window to have a look. DeNiro is gone.

The terror takes its toll on the marriage, as well as Danielle Bowden (Juliette Lewis), the Bowdens' 15-year-old daughter.

DeNiro phones Lewis at home and promotes himself as her new high school drama teacher. He arranges a meeting in the school theater located in the basement.

Lewis finds her way through darkened hallways and meets DeNiro in the theater.

They smoke pot and discuss literature.

The dialogue turns sexual. Lewis realizes that she has been duped. The phone call and meeting were a ruse.

"You're not the drama teacher, are you?" she asks DeNiro.

"Maybe I'm the big, bad wolf," DeNiro answers.

Lewis stands face to face with terror.

The explosive finale is a masterpiece. It is difficult to determine who is the fire and who is the dynamite. It doesn't matter. The audience response shatters the soundtrack.

The music by Elmer Bernstein adds to the eeriness and terror.

Buy a nightlight before you see Cape Fear.

Head Coach Bob Hull lot," Hull said. "He should get better as the year goes on. He learns awful fast."

Calvin McCoy is the sixth guard who will see playing time. A junior from George Washington High School, McCoy will back up Lewis at the point guard spot. He didn't play last year after transferring to MSCD, but decided he wanted to play this year.

The major questions about MSCD 's success this year lie in the frontcourt. The graduations of Moser and Brown leave two major holes in the Roadrunner rebounding game. Hull said, however, that MSCD may be surprisingly deep up front.

Ken Turner, a 6-foot-6 junior-college transfer from Eastern Wyoming, will take over Moser'sspotatforward. Hull described Turner as "a hard-nosed player who doesn't back down from anybody."

Turner was the Region 9 player of the year last season at Eastern Wyoming and he said be likes to play inside and fight for rebounds.

When asked if he is familiar with the strong play of USC forward Tommie Robinson, Turner grinned and said, "Bring it on. I always get more psyched up for players like that."

Dan Kennedy, the backup center to Brown last year, becomes the starter. At 6-foot-9, Kennedy is the tallest player on the Roadrunner roster. Hull said Kennedy's inside play is a key to the team's success this year.

Preview------------trom page 23 year, Kennedy played an average of only 11 minutes a game, however.

Turner and Kennedy will be backed up by6-foot-5 freshman Andy Owens. AU three front line players will likely have their work cut out for them, especially against DU and USC. DU's frontcourthas reached new heights - literal! y. The Pioneers have two 7-foqters on the squad this year: Lively and 7-foot-6 Jim Lanier. Hull noted that Lively was very impressive in DU's exhibition against the Latvian National Team.

Southern Colorado is the only team that can match the Pioneers' front line on paper.

The Indians feature the 6-foot-5 Robinson, a strong inside player, along with 6-foot-7 Matt Michael, 6-foot-5 Keith Abeyta and Gijs Geerdes, a 6-foot-l l transfer.

The other four teams in the conference don't figure to challenge for the title, although Hull is wary of Regis University.

"I understand (Regis) is supposed to be very good," he said. "I hear they did very well recruiting. They might be pretty tough."

As the defending conference champion, MSCD will play a tough schedule this year, including a road game against Division II power Florida Southern and a home-andhome series against Nebraska-Kearney, another strong team. The best barometer of how good the Roadrunners are will come Dec. 4 as they take a road trip to Fort Collins to take on Colorado State.

TrujiUo named top player: MSCD soccer player Leonard Trujillo was named theColora!io Athletic Conference's player of the year. He scored 10 goals and had four assists for a conference leading 24 points.

THE METROPOLITAN

From the cheap seats: a one-man peanut gallery

It's USC in the CAC, thanks to Mr. Robinson Will Hinton Sports Editor ....___ _ _ _ _ __.

The second year of Colorado Athletic Conference men's basketball is right around the comer and it promises to be as exciting a conference as any in the nation.

This season the catch phrase will be parity. There are three teams with legitimate shots at the title, and the caliber of play from top to bottom should exceed that oflast year.

Who will win it all? Take your pick. The top teams excel in certain areas, but also have weaknesses that can be taken advantage of by a quality team.

Here are my CAC preseason picks.

CAC Regular Season Champions: The University of Southern Colorado Indians.

The Indians enter 1991-92 with the conference's top frontcourt. Tommie Robinson, who averaged 19 points per game and 8.7 rebounds last year, along with Matt Michael ( 16.2 ppg and 7 rpg) pose a one-two scoring and rebounding threat that alone is enough to win the title.

Add transfer Gijs Geerdes, a 6-foot-11 shot-blocker, and sharp-shooter Keith Abeyta (15.5 ppg) to the equation and you 're looking at a scoring machine. The only part missing is a point guard. With the loss of Denfield Wade for disciplinary reasons, the Indians are hoping junior-college transfer Tony Sykes is the answer.

This team has the size and outside shooting for the half-court game, but can also play the up-tempo style.

An early key to USC's season may be Robinson's knees. Robinson is the foundation of this team, and if preseason knee problems keep him off the court, the hole he leaves may be too big to fill.

Following USC will be the University of

.â&#x20AC;˘

Denver. They lost some outside shooting, but they still have a lot inside, 14 feet , 6 inchestobeexact.Seven-footerKellyLively transfered from Division I Nebraska last year and is already instilling fear in opposing coaches. Though his basketball skills are extremely limited, Jim Lanier's 7-foot-6 frame alone makes him a defensive threat.

Adding his all-around game to this impressive frontcourt will be 6-foot-8 Alex Sund.

DUisfarandawaythetallestsquadinthe CAC.However,seven-footersarenotknown for their ability to go to the basket. Enter guard Derrick Fuller. Fuller, a transfer from MSCD a few years back, is one of the top play-makers in the league and will get the big guys the ball.

As much as it pains me to do it, I have to put MSCD third. There is a simple reason for this. Many key players are playing under coach Bob Hull for the first time and are not familiar with his system or each other yet.

The key to the season lies in how quickly they can overcome this handicap. If they gel immediately, you can expect great things from this team. Otherwise, a third consecutive trip to the NCAAs may be in jeopardy.

The national pollsters must be convinced that the 'Runners will come together as a team. They are ranked Ninth by Basketball Digest and are No. 20 in the NCAA poll, making them the only nationally ranked team in the CAC. Gone are all-CAC performers Tim Moser, Fred Brown and player of the year Adrian Hutt. But remember, last year Hull took a team thatlostfiveofits top six players from 1989-90 and won the regular season title.

The task of putting the ball in the hole will be placed on the shoulders of guard Ralpb Rivers (20.1 ppg, 6.6rpg) once again.

The 6-foot-3 Rivers bas it all . He can shoot from outside, drive to the hoop or muscle up

The only problem with Rivers' much tomakeupwiththelossof theCAC's game is his propensity to accept the outside leading scorer, Tom Murphy, and his 27.8 shot rather than taking it to the hoop.
