The holidays brought tragedy to a Lakewood family when an MSCD student was killed in a hit-and-run accident over semester break. Kevin Eggleston, 26, was killed Dec. 30 when his pickup truck was struck from behind on Interstate 25 and rolled several times before coming to rest on its top. The Lakewood man was traveling south on 1-25 shortly after 7 p.m. when the accident occurred. Witnesses told police that Eggleston was chan in lanes when his vehicle was hit, causmg Eggl~ton to lose control. Police are looking for a blue compact car that struck Eggleston's vehicle and fled. Eggleston, a finance and accounting major at MSCD, planned to graduate this spring, sources in Admissions and Records said. A 5-by-7 color photograph of Eggleston in his Marine dress-blue uniform sits on the dining room table in his family's Lakewood home. Surrounded by bouquets of fresh flowers, the photograph is draped with Eggleston's dog-tags and service medals. Eggleston was an avid hunter, fisherman

â&#x20AC;˘ Aviati(>n section takes wing in Auraria Library Dianne Haynes The Metropolitan

Âˇ-

If .you asked a group of elementary-age children what they'd like to be when they grow up, chances are that at least a handful would say, "an airplane pilot." MSCD, in cooperation with the Federal Aviation Administration, will be able to

give those high-minded youngsters a nudge in the right direction, now that an aviation resource center has, been established at the Auraria Library. The resource center has reference materials for teachers and students at all educational levels. At the elementary level, students can learn about navigation-by making a simple compass from a magnet, a sewing needle,

two corks and a glass container of water. Or they might make a paper helicopter and talk about the aerobatics of fall leaves spinning in the wind. At the junior and senior high school levels, students can apply their knowledge of math by using an aeronautical chart to fmd directions or by calculating how much fuel a plane uses. Shelley McGillivary, aviation education

coordinator for the FAA in Seattle, said that one of the purposes in providing the materials is to help students do better in math and science. "The materials make it fun," she said. In addition to providing resource materials for students, the FAA also provides information on careers in aviation-whether itbeanon-flyingcareer such as an air-traffic see Library page 4

NEWS Briefly Parking could pinch pocketbook

â&#x20AC;˘

Auraria students who park south of the campus in the North Lincoln Housing Development will now pay $100 towing fee and storage charges, according to Ed Gibson, facility manager. "There is only adequate parking for residents of the development," said Gibson. "Students aren't responding to being ticketed because most of them only get fined once a week and the citation is cheaper than parking on campus. We have no other choice than to begin towing without warning." The North Lincoln Housing Development is bordered by Colfax Avenue on the north, 13th Avenue on the south, Mariposa on the east and Osage to the west. The towing company will charge students a $100 fee for towing and will add $20 per day for each day the car is unclaimed.

BOSTON (NSNS) - Protesting the rowdiness, drunkenness and noise of college partiers in the Boston area, Boston City Councilors passed a proposal on Dec. 9, 1991 that would require would-be keg buyers to apply for a permit from the Boston Licensing Board. Councilor James Byrne, one of two councilors to object to the proposal, sarcastically wondered if next the council would require purchasers to present a reference before buying a keg.

Robbery suspect could get fair trial in city, survey says James W. King, the retired policeman accused of murdering four unarmed bank guards June 16, 1991, can get a fair trial in Denver, a survey shows. Forty-nine percent of those who replied said they would need more evidence before deciding King's fate. Twenty-three percent said they still had a reasonable doubt of King's guilt. Only three percent said they thought King was guilty.

Based upon media coverage, do you believe James W. King to be: innocent, need more evidence, reasonable doubts, probably guilty or guilty?

Innocent: O Need more evidence: 99 Reasonable doubts: 46 Probably guilty: 50 Guilty: 5 (200 people were surveyed.)

THE METROPOLITAN

The survey of 200 students, faculty and passers-by on the Auraria Campus was similar to those used by lawyers to support motions to move a highly-publicized trial from one county to another. The survey was undertaken by journalism student Barry

Tobin of MSCD because the United Bank robbery-murders and King 's subsequent arrest have been heavily publicized. Because of the non-random nature of selection, the response cannot be generalized to the Denver public at large, Tobin noted. King's defense lawyer said July 11 at a court hearing that the media were inoculating potential jurors against his client. Tobin said that the lawyer, Walter Gerash, was correct that not a single survey participant expressed certainty that King was innocent, one of five possible replies. Yet, Tobin said that Gerash also was incorrect because despite the massive media attention, more than 70 percent had doubts about the evidence presented in the media and required more information. Tobin concluded in his copyrighted report that King could get a fair trial in Denver. Only two percent of those who replied said they had not read either the Rocky Mountain News or The Denver Post. And only 15.5 percent said they did not watch television news. Tobin said he chose to survey on the Auraria Campus because it is a melting pot of those groups from which the King jury could be picked. Participants selected from these categories: innocent (0), need more evidence (99), reasonable doubts (46), probably guilty (50), guilty (5). Q

EDITORIAL

Nation's addictions drain away pride Lawrence Jones Editor

We have come to expect the worst. Our society no longer looks in hope to future happenings, but rather waits and dreads what will come next. Then we are surprised when we discover honesty, integrity or good tidings. I am just as guilty. Last month my stepdaughter mailed my wife and me a box full of Christmas presents. Unfortunately, she mailed them to our old address, which is not located in the best area of Capitol Hill. The package was insured and I fully expected to discover the package "missing" when I arrived at my old address

after walking through the blizzard conditions Jan. 7. The young couple living at my old address not only still had the package, but returned it without problem and all the gifts were unmolested inside. I was surprised. Thus proving that I share this somewhat warped view of the world with the rest of society. The American community, probably one of the most wonderful and diverse in the world, has this streak of pessimism running down its back. It wasn't always this way. Before, during the days of exploration and development, this nation had a zeal and pride that were unmatched by any other country. Now, we stew in a stagnant pool of forgotten ideals and goals. What has happened to American pride? What has happened to the optimistic beliefs that created this incredible country? Others have pointed out how we actJike sharks in a feeding frenzy when tragic events are portrayed through the media. We were glued to our sets during the Thomas/Hill hearings, we drooled over Mike Tyson,

Donald Trump, William Kennedy Smith, etc., etc., as their difficulties were broadcast for the world to watch. So, it is obvious that Americans crave sensation. Nothing wrong with that. But is that all this society craves? Are we to become a nation of shambling addicts, lusting for our next fix of sensation, hating our country as we watch it crumble for lack of pride? There is no one individual or organization we can lay the blame of our own stagnation on. It is all our fault. When was the last time you did something well, for the simple pleasurable pride of doing it thus? Without pay? Just for the joy of performing well? When was the last time that you received great service, a great deal, a decent candidate for any political post or just a great day without media intervention? It is time that we all started to take pride in what we do. It is time we stopped accepting what is second best and started striving to excel, as an individual, a people and a nation. It is time to give up the addictions and become healthy again.

VIEWPOINT William Kennedy Smith is no example f.or 'real men' I just heard the news, William Kennedy Smith is "not guilty" of battery and rape. I didn't conscientiously watch the trial. I didn't read as much about the trial as others did, but I could not help but hear, see and read about "Uncle Teddy's" nephew and the rape charges against him. Having admitted some lack of understanding of minute details of the William Kennedy Smith rape case, I have this gnawing feeling in my gut that tells me this verdict is wrong, very, very wrong. There is no factual basis or substantive issue to which I can specifically point to back up my feeling, but I just don't believe that the victim in this case was lying.

I guess what makes me maddest of all are the negative messages that this verdict sends to other rape victims. Firstly, I hope and pray that victims of physical abuse and date rape can find the strength to come forward to gettheir attackers properly punished. Please don't take the verdict of a Florida jury as an indication that you will not be believed. Secondly, this "not guilty" verdict could possibly send the message that date rape is standard procedure for all men; tiQI!! As a man, I am damn sick and tired of having to "pay for the sins of others" by being lumped together with all the rapists, molesters and moral degenerates who seem to grab all the press.

The rape trial of William Kennedy Smith is actually somewhat of a "call to arms" for us men who are nQ1 rapists. Us "real men" need to say to victims: "Hey, we may not always seem supportive, we may not always say the right thing, we may not even be conscious of things we say or do that are offensive. But when the chips are down you can count on us. Because we see in the face of rape victims the faces of our mothers, sisters, friends, lovers, wives and daughters. If it was up to us "crude men," we would take these jerks out back and shoot them on the spot. We are here for you, whatever you need."

'...this not guilty verdict could possibly send the message that date rape is standard procedure for all men; IT IS NOT! As a man I am damn sick and tired of having to "pay for the sins of others" by being lumped together with all the rapists, molesters and moral degener路 ates who seem to grab all the press.'

Not all men think it's ok to get a girl drunk, force themselves upon her and then rely upon their wellknown family and their high-priced lawyers to get them off. No, most of us men have honor, integrity and we realize that NO means NO. Those of you who know me personally might be reading this and thinking, "What happened to Erik - Desert Storm Veteran, NRA member, Reaganite Republican?" It's still me, the crude, real men don't eat quiche kind of guy I've always been, but with one major difference; I'm mad. I'm mad at William Kennedy Smith and other acquitted rapists who send the message that rapists don't get punished. I'm mad because every time a rapist goes unpunished, the more prevalent the idea that rape is part of masculinity becomes. I am a man. I am proud to be a man and to those individuals who believe or justify rape as part of being a man I defiantly say that you are not-A Man.

LETTERS

Critic of Sen. James Jones conceals racism with words

POLICY

Editor, I read with disgust and disbelief the letter written by MSCD student J.M. Schell (Sen. Jones is wallowing in his own bigotry-11 /22/91 The Me~. in response to Sen. James Jones' article. I know it is redundant for me to state how I felt after reading Schell's letter, because the contents of such moronic nonsense clearly indicated his intention - to incite anger from the minority student body on this campus, as is the current prevailing attitude among most of his white counterparts. In his mindless attempt to prove to the readers that he is fully capable of scripting sarcastic insults without overtly revealing his racist nature, J.M. Schell made certain points that clearly revealed his underlying intent. First, he used ample space in this paper to reveal that well-kept secret, that under current affirmative action guidelines, African-Americans and "other nonwhite designated students" received more financial aid than white students. For J.M. Schell to see this as an injustice toward whites (or reverse discrimination, as he and his whining white associates have labeled it), proves that he either misunderstood or chose to ignore the purpose of affirmative action. In case he missed Lynette Gonzales' point (Minorities can succeed on the basis of our own merits-11/22/91 The Me~ . let me reiterate. Affirmative action programs such as those involving financial aid are intended to reduce jnegualitjes that have been levied upon minorities for decades, thus giving them .e.QUal opportunities to compete in a society that has been, and continues to be, dominated by

white males, and that has deliberately excluded minorities on the basis of race. What this means, J.M. Schell, is that minorities, as a result of such programs, are finally beginning to enjoy a portion of what you and all white Americans have been entitled to as a matter of birth right. To argue that · affirmative action is a "compensation for centuries of oppression ... " implies that racism is no longer engraved within American institutions, thus classifying minorities as equal entities in this society. As stated by some experts, to assert that racism has dissipated with time, implying that affirmative action is an unnecessary factor, is like telling a man to let a bank robber guard his bank. Which is an uncompromising position for anyone to be subjected to - even you J.M. Schell. Finally, J.M. Schell, you mentioned that programs like affirmative action have led some whites, including yourself, to support the extremist David Duke. Are you insinuating that in the absence of such programs white racism would cease to exist? If affirmative action now gives you an excuse for being an extremist, can we also imply that it gives you an excuse for initiating actions that are associated with extremist behavior like burning crosses on the front lawns of AfricanAmericans, for instance? As you so eloquently stated J .M. Schell, youth may excuse Sen. James Jones' views. What could be your excuse for writing such babbling, idiotic dribbleignorance? Or would "white paranoia" be a more suitable explanation?

CCD student backs Brewer's community service plan

Editor, As a student and a taxpayer I think President Brewer's idea of 200 hours of community service before graduation is a great idea. Two hundred hours over a two- orfour-year period is not very much. An hour a day for 200 days is not much time. The knowledge people receive outside the academic world is probably more important and lasting than any school can give a person. The most important things to learn are outside the classroom - like learning how to deal with other people. When you're helping people that really need it, the people helping are getting more than those in need. People will be able to learn those things, maybe by helping others. We, as a society, have a lot of problems, none of which is being solved very quickly. Our community needs help in many ways. The homeless, we can see that just in back of the church on the Auraria Campus, where they have a sandwich line for those who don't

have any money. The education system is always in need of volunteers. The Veterans Hospital and Denver General Hospital always need help. Their staffs are always being reduced. If it means an hour of a person's time visiting someone who seems forgotten, not only is the student helped, the community is helped greatly. I don't understand why a requirement for English, math or Spanish is any different from a requirement for public service. While English, math and Spanish only benefit a teacher and a student, not only the student benefits, the community benefits. I think deep down the students that are complaining are just plain lazy. Maybe they are self-centered and don't care about anyone butthemselves. Granted they are here just to benefit themselves, but I think by benefitting others they are eventually going to benefit themselves.

Dear Counselor, I tend to have a problem with being impatient. This particularly shows up when people who are speaking to me ramble and grope for words. I almost always finish their sentences for them. I know it's rude and what I say may not even be what they intended to say but I can't seem to wait for them to finish. Maybe I'm just self-centered but I haven't found a way to handle this. Do you have any suggestions?

Impatient Dear Impatient, It is important to first determine what is causing your impatience. Some useful questions for you to explore are: Do you react this way only around certain people or everyone? Do you enjoy being with others or do you prefer to be alone? Have you had mostly pleasurable or hurtful relationships? Do you feel that most of your problems and dissatisfaction come from people or circumstances in your life? Do you define yourself as a rude and self-centered person only when you feel irritated in conversing with some people or most of the time?

Instructor asks 'So what?' as economic lesson Libby Becker The Metropolitan The author who wrote economics is the "dismal science" must not have had Kishore Kulkarni as his instructor for a class. In his class, "B.O.B." stands for "bunch of baloney" - and "so what?" is a question he often asks his students during lectures. Kulkarni (pronounced cool-car-nee) has taught at MSCD for three years. In class, he asks students "so what?" because he feels as an instructor that his job is not only to get students to memorize his lectures, but also to learn why they are important. Kulkarni was born and raised in Poona, India. He earned a bachelor of arts and a master's degree in economics at the University of Poona, as well as a master's and doctorate degree in economics at the University of Pittsburgh. "Getting an education is more fun in India," Kulkarni tells his class.

Students in India have an annual picnic. They also have an annual festival and cancel classes for three days. Classes spend time going out as a group. They go out to movies, to lunch and things like that, Kulkarni said. College students may have more fun in India, S.

He has written more shy about telling instructors how they feel than 40 books, journal articles, and other short publications - and is working on about them and their classes, he said.

If your answers point to an occasional reaction to certain people and you feel generally good about your relationships and yourself, then your impatience is a situational reaction. You can try to avoid conversations with people you suspect having this type of encounter. When you begin to feel impatient with someone, try the following suggestions. Use deep breathing to maintain calmness. Ask the other person questions to help them clarify their thoughts and express their ideas more clearly. As a last resort, look at your watch and say you have an appointment that you will be late for. If your answers point to a more general pattern, it may be that your impatience is a symptom of others problems. Being rude and selfcentered are effective ways to keep emotionally distant from others. Believing that you are a rude and self-centered person indicates low self-esteem. Distance provides protection from getting hurt by others and it validates a low self-esteem. Your impatience may be providing a rationale for not being likable and causes others to shy away. It may be an ineffective protection that is causing more harm. You may want to consult with a counselor to explore these issues further and to develop constructive and direct methods of addressing these problems.

THE METROPOLITAN

FEATURES Library basement has hidden treasure Julie L. Barrington The Metropolitan

There is a whole other world down in the depths of the Auraria Library. No, the library basement is not where they put students who owe overdue book fines in shackles. The basement holds the Auraria Media Center-where you can find anything from a set of taped television programs to a self-service graphics lab where you can make anything from overhead transparencies to posters for a class presentation.

"One of the requirements was to tour the graphics lab and learn how to use some of the equipment," he said. Another student also discovered the basement lab through a class. Suzanne Lawrence, a business major, had heard about the lab in a class and walked into the library and asked where it was.

"ldon'tknow how I do it all, I just do it," said Doni Brune, who has served on the Edgewater City Council since she was appointed to fill a vacancy in August. Edgewater is a community of about5,000 that lies between the cities of Denver, Wheat Ridge and Lakewood. "Edgewater is a great place to live," Brune said. "It's like living in a small town while still being in the city." It takes Brune just IO minutes to get to campus, unless she gets stopped at the railroad crossing.

Her husband is a volunteer firefighter for Edgewater, and his work with the city sparked her interest. She wanted to contribute more to her community and decided to run for the council seat when it came up for • election in November. "The election really took a toll on me____:_ having to campaign during the semester," Brune said. But Brune's campaign was a success she was elected to the seat.

MUSIC REVIEW

.. '

U2 grabs your attention with 'Achtung! Baby' Jenny Jenny Music Writer U2 has gone back to its roots, back to the hungry sounds and emotional grit of their younger days. The band's latest release is a desperate but valid attempt to escape hightech commercial oblivion and remain relevant. Achtung! Baby revives the art of making music - combining the excitement and verve of a young hungry band, but meshed with the incredible vision that comes only with experience. U2 has dug down deep and emerged with a gutsy and raw effort spiced with '60s-influenced psychedelic funk. The first single, "The Fly," kicks off with a Jitni Hendrixesque hallucinogenic guitar behind Bono's breathy and impassioned vocals. The Edge accents the mix with sharp riffs in his trademark style, but with a fresh new gloss for the '90s. "Mysterious Ways," the second single, grooves with an extreme funk way out of line for typical U2 sounds, but they pull it off brilliantly. Although it's not entirely an appeal to commercialism, it is a drastic about-

face for the band, more in tune with R&B than the alternative album-oriented rock sound so familiar to them. The rest of the CD is a mix of coarse jams flavored with several emotional bloodlettings. Indeed, Bono's lyrics in this collection are dominated by matters of the heartshallow poems buried beneath intricate, layered mixes. "So Cruel" exemplifies this diversion with its simple-sounding but complex arrangement that rises tensely to a crescendo. Don't expect to find Bono' s political views anywhere near this track: "She wears my love/Like a see-through dress/Iler lips say one thing/Her movements something else/ Oh love/Like a screaming flower/Love/Dying every hour." Although the messages found on Achtung! Baby aren't the most profound, the artistry takes the listener back to the days when music was a meaningful journey through the depths of your imagination, not something thrown together in haste by some wizard-technician. WithAchtung! Baby, the members of U2 prove that they are true artists, not high-glossed imitators so com0 monly found on today's music scene.

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

Women's basketball puts new year into gear Will Hinton Sports Editor All play and no work makes Will a dull boy, so, heeeere's Johnny... Here's saluting the MSCD lady hoopsters and Head Coach Darryl Smith. At the midway point of the season the Roadrunners are sporting an impressive 9-2 record, by far the best in the school's history at this point in the season. Impressive is an understatement. MSCD women's basketball fans were usually thinking about the next season by this time before Smith arrived at Auraria. In the seven years before Smith arrived MSCD had a 32-140 record. Now, an invitation to the NCAA's postseason party is definitely within the realm of possibility. The 'Runners proved they are a team with a national presence when they defeated fourth-ranked West Texas State on the last day of 1991. Even yours truly was skeptical of the 'Runners' chances of coming within 20 points based on a 93-24 drubbing at the hands of West Texas one year ago. Smith is proving to be a master on the sidelines. The Roadunners have played the last few games without their floor leader and only senior, point guard Stephanie Robinson, but Smith has still put a winner on the floor despite some of the toughest competition Division II has to offer... It's a good thing the women are produc-

ing, because the men are leaving a lot to be desired both on the court and off. The men are off to their worst start in the Bob Hull era and the season has gotten progressively worse from the opening tip. First, an already questionable front line lost reserve Larry Kent to recurring back problems. Ralph Rivers, T.J. Milan, Calvin McCoy and Michael Lewis were all suspended for disciplinary reasons by Hull for one game. Then guard-turned-forward Milan quit the team after a dispute with Hull. While the team's problems off the court were distracting, its play on the court was disheartening. The team's 29-game home winning streak came to an end and the flood gates opened. The 'Runners stumbled through a school record six-game losing streak and, for the first time in the five-year history of the MSCD Christmas Tournament, the first place trophy will not call MSCD home. The Roadrunners avenged an early season loss with a victory over Grand Canyon (Ariz.) College in the first game of the tourney, but lost their strangle hold on the championship when they fell to No. 4 Pittsburg (Kan.) State in the final. All is not lost, though. The Colorado Athletic Conference season is upon us and with it comes a shot at salvaging the season. A third straight trip to the NCAAs is not likely and a 15-game winning streak will be required for a fourth consecutive 20 win season. However, MSCD's pride and tradi-

tion are on the line here.

Men, women opposites on court Will Hinton Sports Editor

Although there were no classes and many students were home relaxing over Christmas break, the MSCD basketball teams were hard at work finishing up their non-conference schedules. What resulted was an end to the 1991 season cµid two contrasting first-half records. The women concluded the break with a 66-58 victory at the University ofNebraskaKearney, and a 9-2 overall record. The biggest win of the season, in school history for that matter, came on New Year's Eve as the Roadrunners defeated fourthranked West Texas State 72-69. Second-year Head Coach Darryl Smith was all smiles when the victory was mentioned. "It's a big win, but it's a remarkable win," said Smith, who vividly remembered losing to the same West Texas team by 69 points last year. Smith singled out the play ofjunior guard Cassie Sandoval, who scored a game high 23 points, including the winning basket. "Her play has been one of the biggest keys to our success,'' Smith said. As it has been all year, Smith said the key to t;he Roadrunners' game is defense. The team has also held together despite the loss of its floor leader, senior point guard Stephanie Robinson, to a broken wrist. Robinson has been Cleared to play and will wear a soft cast Jan. 11 in the Colorado Athletic Conference opener against Regis University. Smith gives his players all the credit for the tum-around. "The kids have turned the program around," Smith said. "The four kids who stayed around when I got here (Noel Braunschweiger, Holly Roberts, Michelle Thomas and Robinson) have worked really hard to make this a good team." Junior guard Cindy Dalton leads MSCD in scoring with 16.4 points per game and junior center Holly Roberts still rul~s the boards with an average of 13 rebounds a game that places here among the nation's leaders. Where the women are prospering, the men are suffering through their worst start ever. Head Coach Bob Hull said inconsistent shooting, a lack of offensive aggressiveness, a tough schedule and several new players are responsible for the Roadrunners' 5-9

record. "It's been real tough," Hull said. "We have run into a lot of really good teams and everybody seems to be geared up for us because of our success in the past." "We have a lot of players who are new to Division II," Hull said. "Hopefully now those players know what to expect at this level." Hull hopes to ride the momentum of an 83-73 win at St. Leo (Fla.) College and tum the team's fortune around as the CAC season opens. "It's like a new season,'' Hull said. "It gives us a chance to set some new goals and gives us something to look forward to and strive for." Senior guard Ralph Rivers is still the team's scoringleader,averaging 18.6agame, and he is finally getting some help at the offensive end. Freshman Myron Simms and his 14.7 points per game have replaced Darin Dahl in the starting lineup, helping to take some ofthe scoring pressure off Rivers, who became MSCD's all-time leading scorer over the break. Hull said that if the Roadrunners can find a middle ground in their inconsistent outside game and can get key players like Dahl and center Dan Kennedy to play more aggressively, a successful season is still a possibility. The teams open CAC play with a doubleheader at Regis University Jan. 11. The women will tip-off at 5 p.m., followed by the men's tilt at 7 p.m. 0

SEE WHERE COMPUTERS ARE HEADED ON THE ONE MACHINE THAT'S ALREADY THERE. When Lotus®, Adobe® and WordPerfect® looked at NeXT™ computers, they all saw the same thing: blazing speed, stunning graphics, true multitasking, Display PostScript®, multimedia electronic mail, CD-quality sound and seamless integration between programs. So naturally, they responded the same way - by creating ... "best-of-breed" versions of their best packages. Come in anytime and see how Lotus has literally redefined the spreadsheet with Improv. And how WordPerfect offers its highest level of word processing performance. And how Adobe Illustrator advances the art of design in the pure Postscript world of NeXT. With your hands on the affordable NeXTstation ™ computer, you'll experience the most sophisticated programs in desktop history. And the machine that" made them possible.
