Delay sought for community service plan

Unique perspective

Angela Reese The Metropolitan

The St. Francis Center offers a unique view of St. Elizabeth's Church..

An MSCD Faculty Senate subcommittee wants to delay President Thomas Brewer's proposal that students be required to perform community service. The Senate's community service subcommittee said Jan. 27 that the proposal, which has elicited outrage from students, would require additional funds. "We think we need the financial resources in place to do it right," said Peggy O'Neill-Jones, subcommittee chair and assistant professor of technical communications. In September, Brewer proposed that MSCD students be required to complete 200 hours of commupity service to graduate. O'Neill-Jones said the committee still supports the proposal and doesn't want to delay implementation indefinitely. "The committee still feels that -it's a good endeavor," she said. Brewer was not available for comment. Students, however, continue to

believe the proposal would further complicate their already hectic lives, and many expressed relief that the committee wants to delay the plan. "Two hundred hours of community service? I could feed my family for a month working 200 hours," said Patty Lane, a sophomore s i n g 1e mother majoring in human performance. "I didn't want them to put that (the proposal) in as a requirement for graduation." Brewer "I didn't - lik~ the idea to begin with," said Deanne Ros~. a junior majoring in behavioral science. "I hope they forget it." Still, some students back the idea of community service. "Community service teaches people responsibility," said Suzanne Ferdinandsen, a sophomore majoring in business and finance. "It's happening at a lot of colleges around the country." 0

Student rally to support higher education funding Barry Tobin

Staff Writer The Colorado Student Association is sponsoring a rally on the steps of the Capitol from noon until I p.m. Feb. 5 to urge legislators to increase funding for higher education. The rally's theme is "plank by plank," adapted from an October 1991 editorial page

Student fees would increase 9°/o under SAB budget Page 3

column in The Denver Post by Albert Yates, president of Colorado State University. "Since 1980-81 , allocations to higher education have been slashed five times because of shortfalls," Yates wrote. Yates' column relates cuts in higher education funding to a parable telling of a man who built a big house with many rooms. After the house was built, winter came. The man began to tear planks from the big house

for firewood. Since the house was large, no one would notice a few missing pieces, he reasoned. But before winter ended, the great house collapsed in ruins. "Students have been taking it on the chin for a long time," said Travis Berry, a lobbyist and vice president of legislative affairs for CSA. "We saw tuition increases every other year during the 1960s, then it was every year during the '70s, and now, in the '90s, we

CORRECTION Due to an editing error, a story which appeared in the Jan. 24 issue of The Metropolitan may be interpreted incorrectly. The $160,386 CoPIRG received through student fees was paid by students on four Colorado campuses: The University of Northern Colorado The University of Southern Colorado Colorado State University Metropolitan State College of Denver We regret the error.

Increase in student fees looms 9 percent hike proposed under Student Affairs Board budget for '92-'93 Joe Chopyak The Metropolitan MSCD students would face a nine percent increase in student fees under the Student Affairs Board's budget for next year. The increase - amounting to $10.50 for students takinglO to 15 credits - would generate an extra $115 ,000 in student fees. The additional funds would be used for such services as the Student Health Center, cam-

pus recreation programs and the Institute for Women's Services. Karen Krupar, SAB member and speech communications professor, said MSCD is working on a very limited budget and that an increase in student fees is imminent. The SAB has almost $700,000 in student fees left for the spring semester, but board members said there will be no money left for next year because some student services still need funding. Groups presented proposals Jan. 22 to

the SAB for funding this spring. Representatives from the Institute for Women's Services are asking the SAB for $3,500 to fund programs on sexual harassment, counseling for battered women, and an intercultural communication workshop. The campus recreation program asked the SAB to fund a proposed program that would allow MSCD students to rent mountain bikes and cross-country skis on campus. Students could rent the bikes or skis to tour 0 parks and bike paths around campus.

Tivoli deal final; move set for '93 Kristopher Evans The Metropolitan The Tivoli is scheduled to become the new student union in 1993, and AHEC administrators are looking for businesses to fill it. On Jan. 15, AHEC purchased the remainder of a 62-year lease from Trizec Properties Inc. for $6 million, and the takeover begins Feb. 1. "The Tivoli is going to be the premier student union in the U.S.," said Chip Wiman, MSCD student government president. The new student union, including the Auraria Book Center, will fiJI about half of the200,000squarefeet in the Tivoli. Joanne Soker of AHEC's Tivoli planning committee estimates the project will be complete by . fall 1993.

l.aJra Grigg-Toma I The Me~

Students can expect expanded services in the new Tivoli Union. The current student center will be used for classrooms. "The interest is there," said Dean Wolf, ~HEC vice president for operations. He says his office receives three to four inquiries about available space per week, mostly from food and entertainment businesses. There are no definite commitments yet. On Jan. 24, the Campus Planning and Design Committee gave AHEC permission

to interview five architectural engineering firms. The selected furn will plan remodeling and construction. Wiman thinks the new Tivoli will be a "curious mix" of businesses and students. He hopes that prime areas that are now vacant, like those once occupied by EFEX, Adirondacks and Oink' s, will be filled by "major" restaurants, like Bennigan 's or See Tivoli page 6

Gender studies requirement proposed Michelle Utley The Metropolitan

Members of MSCD's faculty and administration have proposed that a gender studies component be added to the multicultural requirement scheduled to take effect this fall. "There are proposals that have been raised by some faculty members who wish to include gender with ethnicity," said David Williams, MSCD provost. Under the new general studies guidelines, students will have to fulfill a three-credit multicultural requirement. Currently only three African-American Studies courses will satisfy the requirement. Although the gender studies proposal may add three credit hours to the multicultural requirement, it would not increase the total number of credits required to graduate, said Jodi Wetzel, director of women's studies and services. Students would receive history or social sciences credit in addition to gender studies, thereby ensuring course loads would not be increased. "We're trying to becognizantofstudents' needs," Wetzel said. Women's Studies Institute faculty members believe the gender studies requirement is necessary for a variety of reasons.

According to Wetzel, there are many differences in male-female communication patterns that could be explored, and possibly changed, in a gender studies class. Another issue is that women have been essentially left out of history, Wetzel said. "Other disciplines, psychology in particular, have treated women as victims." Discussion of a gender-studies requirement is still in the preliminary stages. A formal proposal hasn't been submitted. Once submitted, the proposal would progress through the Faculty Senate's general studies committee, the curriculum committee, the SenWilliams ate, and then on to the provost, according to Elizabeth Friot, Faculty Senate president Debate already has begun on a gender studies requirement. 'They ought to encourage people to take women's studies courses, but they shouldn't ram it down their throats," said Scott Gandy, an MSCD senior. Marilee Sarver, an MSCD sophomore, disagrees. "I think it should be mandatory ... It's really imponant for students to be exposed to as many different ideas as possible while in college." The Faculty Senate will discuss the recommendation further at an upcoming meeting. 0 .............

Snow removal leaves students hot under the collar Don Mitchell The Metropolitan

Auraria students have been slipping, tripping and sliding their way to classes this semester after record amounts of snowfall in November and January. Some students are upset because they believeAurariaFacilitiesMaintenancecrews have done a less than adequate job in removing the glacial residue. "I see a lot of Facilities Maintenance people just hanging around, and I feel they should pick up a shovel and break some ice," said Tina Schwab, an MSCD senior marketing major.

Rally from page 1 creases," said CCHE spokeswoman Geri Reinardy. "The legislature mandated that authority to us." "The institutions are funded in two ways," she said. "First, through legislative appropriations and second, through student tuition." Reinardy said CCHE works closely with CSA. "My impression is that CSA wants an obvious display of students at the rally to send a message to legislators that more money is needed to operate the institutions," she said. Sen. Ray Powers, assistant majority leader

of the Colorado Senate said, "We have a $90 million allocation to Medicaid, and the state budget can't afford to allocate money to education without raising taxes." The legislature wants to avoid raising taxes, Powers said. "Where is the money supposed to come from?" Sen. Al Meiklejohn, chaiJ1T1an of the Senate Education Committee, said the CCHE has been "too loose with their controls." He prefers to see the controls returned to the legislature, he said. Meiklejohn, and Rep. Jeff Shoemaker, chairman of the House Education Committee, will address those at the rally, according to a CSA press release.

In a statement issued last week, CSA said, "We support a continued commitment by CCHE on their current policy keeping the student percentage of total higher education costs at 25-30 percent." CSA said that it represents more than 73,000 students at eight colleges and universities statewide and is funded through memberships of the institutions it represents. Student governments of member institutions are assessed 50 cents per student for membership fees. "I support this rally," said Chip Wiman, MSCD student government president.

"We are looking at moving away from institutionalized food services by possibly bringing in a McDonald's or Burger King," Wiman said. Most of the current shops will stay.

He estimates that in a worst-case scenario, if no businesses filled the vacancies, students would pay about $10 each semester to cover the loss. In 1974, the Tivoli was part of an urban

EDITORIAL

With freedom of the press comes responsibility Lawrence Jones Editor

I am the editor of an independent student newspaper. It has been the most rewarding and most difficult job I have ever held. I have learned more about the newspaper business and journalism than I ever thought I would. The everyday decisions that control the editorial content of The Metropolitan astounded me when I first took over as editor. I thought it would be so simplethe reporters would turn in their stories, they would be edited and then put into the paper. In reality, it's not so easy nor so simple. Every day my staff exercises its right to freedom of the press. Every day we must also exercise the responsibility

that goes along with that awesome freedom. Many readers may see The Metropolitan as "just a college newspaper," but to us it is so much more. We strive to produce as professional a paper as we can. This includes following the same journalistic ethics and standards as do our counterparts at the Rocky Mountain News and The Denver Post. While it is true that freedom of press gives us the right to print anything we choose to, it does not give us the right to print lies, falsehoods or libelous statements about others. During the past summer a student newspaper in New York was sued for libel - an obvious example of the liability of student newspapers. We cannot run about screaming fire at the top of our lungs and not expect someone to take notice of it, and do something about it if we cause a problem. We have an obligation to our readers, not only to provide the best possible journalism that we can, but also to deal with problems as soon as they arise.

Lee Levine, a Washington, D.C.based libel lawyer, was quoted in the Student Press Law Center Report as saying: "It's pretty well-documented in most libel cases that a large percent could have been avoided with intelligent fielding of complaints before they mushroom into litigation. Too often, students ignore or blow-off someone who called to complain." How true. It is not our policy to "blow off" people who come to us with complaints or disagreements about what is in our paper. However, it is also not our policy to allow others to have any undue influence on what is written in The Metropolitan. During my "tour of duty" as editor, I have met many who have complained that their side wasn't told, that we targeted them for derision or that we have been controlled by outside sources such as the faculty and administration. None of these statements are true. Certainly, there is always backlash to any controversial story and I have felt

its sting just like any editor of a newspaper. When someone is cast in a bad light by stories, facts or editorials, they have rarely hesitated in letting me know their side of the story. The fact that I have experienced the displeasure of faculty and administration does not mean that I have let that experience alter what Âˇappears in our newspaper. I have an obligation to you, my readers, to provide a newspaper that is as free of errors (technical and informational) as I can. My staff operates under the standard journalistic code of ethics and I personally will not allow a staff member to present biased, untruthful or unresearched material as the news. No, we're not perfect, and every time you catch us making mistakes we want to hear about it, but the only way we learn and improve (which is something we ARE hereto do) is if you utilize the forum we provide for your feedback. Write to us. We'll print what you say (as longer as there's room) - whether it is for us or for the campus at large. That is what freedoms are about.

VIEWPOINT Freedom of the press is alive and well right We are imbued almost from sentience with the conviction that a free press is absolutely necessary if we are to remain a free nation; that the impact of a free and somewhat unruly press is to be valued - perhaps above the powers of government. In 1787, Thomas Jefferson wrote to Col. Edward Carrington, "Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter." Freedom of the press is a concept challenged and defended throughout American history; from John Peter Zenger's sojourn on Governor's Island awaiting trial for publishing articles critical of the government to

Daniel Ellsberg providing the "Pentagon Papers" to the New York Times, individuals and organizations have claimed and defined the right to print an almost infinite variety of things. That right - con~tantly and continuously tested and refined- today sets reasonably well established behind the bulwark of the Constitution. Both a national daily or a shopping-center weekly may print anything that is true without fear of government interference. Does that right extend to other types of "newspapers?" School newspapers are frequently confronted by (subtle and direct) attempts to influence and control the content of the paper, either the stories written or

the subjects addressed. Does a school newspaper have the same freedom to follow a story to its logical conclusion found in a commercial paper? How about selection of stories? It is fairly well established by the courts 1hat school newspapers in private schools and public high schools can legitimately be subjected to some editorial control by the respective administrations. However, in public collegesiand universities, the student press has a great deal of freedom to publish, limited essentially by available resources rather than editorial supervision by the administrative units of the school. As the current chair of the Board of Student Publications, and a member of the board for the past three years, my perspective convinces me that the editorial operations of The Metropolitan are totally in the hands of the editor of the paper. Perhaps the most important function the Board serves is to select the editors of both The Metropolitan and Metrosphere. The Board selects an editor from a group of applicants at the end of the spring term. The editor is totally responsible for the appearance of the paper and the accuracy of the material printed, assigning stories and allocating space. The editorial independence of the editor is affirmed by The Canons of Journalism adopted by the American Society of Newspaper Editors in 1923 and the by-laws for the Board which incorporates those Canons while additionally affirming that the editor is solely responsible for the content of the paper. Lest we go away thinking that the special place assigned to newspapers by the colonial founders was not without reservation, current and future editors would do well to recall that the same Thomas Jefferson who preferred newspapers to government in 1787 expressed some reservations about newspapers twenty years later. Writing to John Norvell in 1807, he stated "The man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them; inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehood and errors." Members of The Board of Publications sincerely hope that Jefferson was not referring to a colonial version of The Metropolitan, and that no contemporary commentator will ever have occasion to make such a reference with the one published at MSCD in mind.

LETTERS

Student defends editor and his commentary regarding textbook prices, policies

•

Editor, One can only assume Journalism Department Chair Barbara Haddad Ryan has never actually had to maintain employment in the rough and tumble world of professional journalism. Or, apparently, anywhere else not thoroughly insulated from reality. Ryan, presumably a professional-level newswriter, somewhat inexpertly attempts to crucify Metropolitan Editor Lawrence Jones for having failed to exercise his "analytical skills." (Letters, 1/24/92.) Perhaps our errant student editor's analytical muscle isn't Schwarzeneggarian. But from my reading of both articles, it's obvious Chair Professor Ryan's analytical abilities are (Pee Wee) Hermanistic in comparison. And it's also clear Ryan doesn't often mingle with the student peasantry. It therefore falls to me, sensitive guy that I am, to ... educate Ryan: A whole heck of a lot of MSCD students are really pissed off about the quality, quantity and, most especially, the outrageously steep costs of new and used textbooks. You want proof? Take a look at the back page of the same issue of The Met in which your letter appeared. The Auraria Book Center, obviously engaging in a rear-guard action (oops, too obscure in my

meaning? Sorry - covering their asses) used the entire page to present a highly creative excuse for their exorbitant textbook pricing. Such puffery is not generated in a vacuum. And while my eyes grow misty reading of your honoring a deceased colleague by using the same antiquated textbook he chose back when your department was new, frankly most students couldn't care less. We aren't here to be good little peasants, sacrificing the fatted calves of our educations on your, or any instructor's, altar of inflated ego and good intentions. Jones, as editor of The Met, must use his position to address issues·of broad concern. And since you'd be hard-pressed to find any student on this campus who wouldn't express a similarly negative assessment of the textbook situation, I'd say Jones executed his duty to his newspaper and his readersh ip admirably. It was you, Chair Ryan, your objectivity crippled by teary sensitivity, whose analytical abilities failed. But even worse than the intellectual detritus you heaped on Jones, the editor, was your addendum of a grossly inappropriate and unprofessional personal attack on Jones, the student. Now, each and every journalism student at MSCD must not only wonder about the

Students not adequately informed on CoPIRG activities Editor,

It is a serious problem when students are not informed of the uses of their student fees. Although The Metropolitan reports on many campus events and other uses of these fees, I am very concerned about the misinformation students are afforded concerning their CoPIRG fee . In my three years at MSCD, I've seen far too many stories that misrepresent CoPIRG and far too few stories about the many events and issues that CoPIRG impacts. By reading The Metropolitan, MSCD students would have no idea that they are one of four colleges that fund the largest and most effective environmental and consumer-rights organization in the state of Colorado. They would also not knowthattheirorganization, with other student-directed PIRGs (Public Interest

Research Groups) across the country, were largely responsible for getting a strong Federal Clean Air Act passed by Congress, nor would they know that CoP IRG has formed a coalition with the Sierra Club, the League of Women Voters and others in Colorado to pass a law which would enforce environmental laws in the state (which are now all but ignored). The Metropolitan also failed to report on CoPl RG's two biggest events this semester, which students should have read about. Even the half-page story last week about the us~ of CoPIRG funds was misleading. Students deserve to be properly informed about their CoPIRG fee, and I hope The Metropolitan will be more responsible in the future in reporting on CoPIRG activities. Barb Ferrill, MSCD student and former chairperson of CoPIRG state board of directors.

The Met staff speaks out on freedoms Deanna Allen

Freedom of the press is a heavy responsibility that every reporter, photographer, editor and broadcaster must shoulder. It is woven into the fabric of our Constitution through the First Amendment. Those who choose to wear the clothes of a journalist accept their inherent burdens. In many ways, when a journalist accepts an assignment, it is not unlike a doctor's commitment to a patient. The doctor's oath is to the individual patient, but the journalist is responsible to the public at large.

Kim Brown Features Editor The concept of freedom of the press is great, but I feel we are all getting a little too tame. We're being spoon-fed desirable conservative images about what we should be and believe in, so it's difficult to get the pertinent, more harsh truths. I've always admired the thought behind printed material like Progressive Magazine, The Village Voice · - even Westward or any other less-controlled, more underground publication. (I probably would have read the pro-labor movement newspapers like ArbeiterZeitung in the 1860s). Call it rebellion! I call it justified skepticism and individual thinking. I guess I can't complain too much. At least we Americans have a choice of things we can read. We just have to be careful as to whom we believe.

As a journalist, the freedom of the press means two things. One, it tells me and those I encounter that I have the right to write about anything as long as I remain within the ambiguous boundaries of journalism's ethical code. I can ask anything, look for anything and discuss anything. It also puts the burden of responsible and objective reporting at all times on my shoulders. I have been granted this right in the name of the better good of the public, and it is my duty to see that this right is not abused by myself or others. As a citizen, the freedom of the press is a constitutional clause calling for a watchdog of government and society in general. Watergate would have gone unnoticed if notfortwo bottom-rung reporters who saw something wrong and pursued it. It was Thomas Jefferson who said that if he was forced to choose between government and a free press, he would choose the latter. If Jefferson said it, it's good enough for me.

Allen Laychak Copy Editor It is not by accident that freedom of the press is called for in the Brat Amendment of the Constitution. The founders of America recognized the importance of this freedom . In Eastern Europe, the relaxing of state controls on the media was one of the first signs of the changes to come.

A free press acts as the fourth branch of the government in the system of checks and balances. It is the duty and the responsibility of the press to report on all issues of public interest, because average citizens has no other way of learning of these thingsno other way of checking on the actions of their government. As former Justice William Brennan said in Time Inc. v. Hill, "A broadly defined freedom of the press assures the maintenance of our political system and our society."

Barry Tobin Staff Writer When I think about freedom of the press and what that means to me, the words that come to mind are responsibility, gratitude and celebration. My first responsibility is to serve the reader. If a story is inaccurate, unfair and full of factual erro~s. the reader is cheated. Freedom of the press is not something I take for granted. It is a freedom that was won with bloodshed and sacrifice. It is the foundation of our freedom. Freedom. of the press is more than just a theory, more than just something that is celebrated for a month. It is celebrated each time a reporter writes a story and each time a reader reads it. For that, I am grateful.

To Russia with love: kindness amid uncertainty Brian Ball

WHAT ARE YOU DOING THIS SUMMER?

The Metropolitan An MSCD history professor specializing in the Soviet Union found kindness amid chaos in a recent visit to the new Commonwealth of Independent States. lbrough the Citizen Ambassador Program of People to People International, Brooks Van Everen, an MSCD history professor since 1970, was among a small delegation of history educators chosen to foster good will and exchange technical knowledge and expertise with history educators of the former Soviet Union. Van Everen, with 29 years of teaching experience in European history, has toured the Soviet Union five times with students from the United Statt!s. He has taken more than 423 students and travelers on summer historical tours of England and Russia. When asked about differences on this trip compared to others, Van Everen said, "For the first time since the early 1960s, I felt uneasy walking alone at night on the streets of Moscow." He went on to say that the new Commonwealth of Independent States is enmeshed in a state of flux that greatly affects all levels of society. "(Russia is) a society uncertain about their future and dissatisfied with their present," he said. In contrast to the emergence of violence in parts of the former Soviet Union, Van Everen related a story of unique hospitality and kindness shown to him by a former nuclear engineer and his wife, an educator. These Russians, whose standard of living is extremely low, hired a taxi to pick up Van Everen from his hotel and take him from one side of St. Petersburg to the other, then welcomed Van Everen into their modest two-room apartment. The couple had spent the entire day shopping so that they could serve him adequately that evening, he said. According to Van Everen, for the last 74 years the people of the former Soviet Union have been an occupied people. These are people with a strong work ethic. The life

Brooks Van Evereri, MSCD history professor , has led many trips to the former Soviet Union, now the Commonwealth of Independent States. expectancy for males is 61, the infant mortality rate is 'o ne of the highest in the world and birth control, as we know it, hardly exists. When asked to provide a message to students, faculty and administrators, Van Everen responded: "We are all a part of our small world; we really are affected by what happens over there. I don't think it is in our best interest at all to see that society collapse in anarchy and civil war. "We know enough about history to know that out of that kind of uncertainty there can come a very evil brew, especially in a politi-

cal culture which has many years of an authoritarian kind of system. I don't think it is in anybody's interest to welcome their misery." One of Van Everen' s most heartfelt aspirations is to lecture at Moscow State University. In 1978, he taught in London and said of the experience, " I had a wonderful time; Churchill is my love." For most of his life, Van Everen ·has studied the former Soviet Union. "It is important to have some perspective, but I am devoting much of my time to current events in that country," he said. 0

The Metropolitan

Metro Connections '90 and the student chapter.of the International Association of Business Communicators (IABC) are two small clubs at MSCD that bring big ideas to life. This year the clubs have joined together to produce the second Annual Metro Connections '90 conference, designed by students for community professionals.

"Metro Connections '90 provides a forum for students to get real-life skills by providing them with training and contacts," said President Joanna Patrick. "It's important to provide an experimental learning environment for students." J ~ The 1992 conference, Older, Bolder and Buying: Marketing to the Mature Audience,

"The clubs afford students the opportunity to network with people already working in the real world," she said. The one-day conference consists of six workshops with guest speakers and panelists offering expert advice on everything from the media to the psychological asp~ts of marketing to the mature audience. A sampling of workshop titles includes: Going and Going Strong - The Big Picture Step By Step, and Vision forthe Visionary. According to Patrick, one reason for putting on a conference of this nature is to make students and companies more aware of the buying potential seniors have in the marketplace. "They (seniors) control more disposable income than all other age groups combined," she said. Each club is an offshoot of ihe speech department, and Professor Joanna Patrick, president of the club that helps Karen Krupar is the adviser for both students discover new marketing strategies. of them.

No dancing for joy with Genesis' 'We Can't Dance' Jenny Jenny Music Editor

' Ill

After decades on the cutting edge of pop rock, Genesis may be slipping faster than Phil Collins is losing his 'do. With the latest release, We Can' t Dance, the only outstanding element is the complete lack of inspiration and depth so common to the band's previous efforts. Genesis may have gone into the studio looking fortheir soul, but what they emerged with is an overproduced last grasp at keeping themselves together. Maybe too much has changed since Phil Collins and Mike Rutherford spread their wings to find success away from Genesis, but We Can'tDance also proves that they can't find the magic that once put the band at the forefront of pop. The self-indulgent 71 minutes of music on Dance is spiritless, at best. In fact, if you 're lucky enough to make it through the first 11 tracks, the tortuous "reward" for this dull feat is the 10-minute Fading lights. You may want to adjust the speed on this one. The reason for the length isn't brilliantly inspired music, but because it's so slow. What could have been done in five minutes with any semblance of a tempo instead takes fartoolong,andnevergetsanywhere.Maybe it is on the wrong speed. Tell Me Why, another track that makes you wonder what Genesis was thinking when

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

All-time scorer focuses life on .more than hoops Will Hinton Sports Editor

• '

'·

Ralph Rivers will be remembered as one of the grearest basketball players MSCD has ever produced. He is the school's all-time leading scorer and has started more games in a Roadrunner uniform than any other player. Academically, Rivers is a good player, too. He maintains a 2.86 GPA and will be graduating in May with a degree in criminal justice and a minor in human services. He will be graduating after four years in school, an impressive achiev~ment for any student, let alone a person who devotes so much time to a sport. Not a bad career for a guy who played only one year of high school ball and only dreamed of a college education five years ago. Rivers, 26, did not come out of high school in Montgomery, Ala., as a star player with college recruiters knocking down his door to offer him a scholarship. In fact, he didn't even play basketball after his freshman year of high school. A troubled youth saw Rivers' life and education going in the wrong direction. His problems kept him off the court and put a distance between him and a college education. After graduating from Lanier High

School, Rivers didn't see college in his future so he joined the Air Force Reserves, a decision that eventually landed him at Lowry Air Force base in Denver. It was at Lowry where Rivers' play in pick-up games and league play caught the eye of Col. Bill Wagoner. "Col. Wagoner asked me about college and I said I always wanted to go, but I never had the opportunity," Rivers said. Wagoner recognized Rivers' desire to get an education and his ability to play at the collegiate level, sobestartedinquiringabout the possibilities with local coaches. His search brought him to MSCD and the office of Head Coach Bob Hull. Hull agreed to give Rivers a look, and after checking his background and watching him play and shoot around with the team once, Hull had seen all he needed and offered Rivers a scholarship. The rest, as they say, is history. Rivers enrolled at MSCD in the fall of I 988 with a chance at a new life both on the court and in the classroom, something he is grateful for. "I am so fortunate to have gotten this

opportunity," Rivers said. ''I'm lucky 'cause I get to play ball and get my education paid for." MSCD is just as fortunate to have Rivers. The 6-foot-3 guard started for the ' Runners a few games into bis freshman season and he hasn ' t left the starting lineup since. He has 102 starts in his career, and every time he takes the court for the opening tip he breaks his own record. He also sets a new mark every time he puts the ball in the hole, something he does better than any player in MSCD history. The alltime leading scorer has 1664 career points with nine games and the CAC Tournament left on the schedule. Despite his presence in the record books, Rivers said the goals he sets are team-oriented, and he tries to deflect as much of the personal recognition as possible. "I feel like we all have to work together," he said. "I know I have to motivate the team and score, but I don't want to be known as 'the man' ; I want it to be known as ' the team.'" He refers to his personal achievements as, "something that just happened over the

course of my career." Regardless of his team-first attitude, it is Rivers who dominates the MSCD records. His name is found in almost all the career-leaderlists, usually in the top three. He is No. 1 on the list in five categories and should top three more, including games played, before the season is over. Rivers ranks third in all-time rebounds, perhaps his most impressive feat since he is a guard. In 1990-91 , RiversjoinedGeneEdwards as the only Roadrunner to average over 20 points per game when he scored 20. l per outing. As for the 1991-92 season, Rivers continues to impress offensively with a teamleading avc~.rage of 18.6 points per game. WhatmakesRiverssotoughwiththeball in his hands? "The key to my success is patience," he said. "I exploit my man's weaknesses and take what they give me." Rivers is patient, but he is also confident. "When I drive, the only person who can stop me is myself." While he is an impressive player at the offensive end, he is equally adept defensively. Rivers credits the talented players he has shared the court with and a role that didn' t require him to score as much early in see Rivers page 21

Women's basketball team crushes Air Force 85-64 Angela Reese The Metropolitan

The MSCD women's basketball team upset Air Force 85-64 at the Auraria Events Center Jan. 25, but failed to move up in the regional rankings. Air Force had previously won 15 of 16 games played against MSCD, and the Roadrunners had not beaten the Falcons for five years. "Personally, I think they' re the best team in the conference," said Head Coach Darryl Smith, "and then to beat them that handily and really stick it to them. This really puts us inthedriver's seat for the conference." TbeRoad- Cassie Sandoval runners improved their overall record to 142. They are undefeated in the Colorado Athletic Conference with a record of 5-0. The win also increased the 'Runners' current winning streak to seven games. MSCD led the entire game, leading by as

many as 23 points and as few as two. They were up 32-28 at halftime. Junior Holly Roberts had 10 points in each of the halves before she fouled-out with hardly any time remaining in the game. Roberts currently leads the CAC in rebounding, blocked shots and field goal percentage. Two other Roadrunners scored more than 20 points also. Senior Stephanie Robinson's aggressiveness earned her 22 points in only her second game back from a fractured wrist injury that had kept her out since Dec. 7. 'This feels awesome - unbelievably awesome," Robinson said. "Emotionally, this is a great lift." Junior Cassie Sandoval was the game- · high scorer with 23 points, shooting nine for 16 from the field. "This is the first time we played well the entire 40 minutes," Sandoval said. If MSCD manages to earn a regional ranking in the top four, then they will play in the regional tournament in March. The Roadrunners are currently ranked fifth in the North Central Region. "That would be a dream come true as a senior," Robinson said. But the dream isn't here yet. Sandoval thinks that the team needs to work on its concentration level both offensively and defensively. "We played well," Smith said. "But there's still room to improve." 0

Great color. The easy way.

Sports Briefs Men win third in a row: The MSCD men's basketball team won its thiro game in a row and improved its overall record to 8-10 with a 98-93 win over Fort Lewis College in Durango Jan. 24. The win moves the Roadrunners to 3-1 in the CAC. The 'Runners were led by senior guard Ralph Rivers, who scored 22 points and pulled seven rebounds. Also scoring in double figures for MSCD were Myron Simms with 19 points, Calvin McCoy with 16, Andy Myron Simms Owens with 15, and Dan Kennedy with 13. Owens and Kennedy dominated the glass, grabbing 11 and nine rebounds respectively. FLC's Patrick Shaw led all scorers with 30 points.
