African-Americans need history Mayor calls for deeper understanding of heritage

Students speak out

Don Mitchell The Metropolitan

Students from all over Colorado rallied on the Capitol steps to demand a $56 million increase in higher education funding. State legislators joined the students. The rally was organized by the Colorado Student Association.

It is important for people to recognize and understand their history if they want to take a proactive interest in the decision making of their country, Denver Mayor Wellington Webb said. "If you don't have a basic understanding of your history, you get entirely confused in terms of how decisions are made... you don't understand why you can't deny people the opportunity to have freedom of expression," Webb said Feb. 2 in a speech sponsored by MSCD Student Activities. The speech was titled African Americans at a Political Crossroad: A Proactive or a Reactive Voice, and was a part of the celebration of Black Awareness Month. "It's especially important for African-Americans to see Webb page 6

Students rally for increases in education funding Martin Rush Staff Writer

Hundreds of college students from around Colorado ra'.llied at the Capitol Feb. 5 to demand a $56 million increase in funding for higher education. Standing before a mock-up of a dilapidated cabin, state legislators and students addressed the crowd, stressing the theme Plank by Plank. The rally organizers, Colorado Student Association, said they fear a collapse of higher education because of underfunding by the Legislature. According to CSA, Colorado ranked 48th

Keeping a college education affordable was a major concern for many of the rally participants. "College students are among the poorest in the state," said Julianna Baird, a University of Northern Colorado student. "We should not be responsible for any deficit in the state budget." 0

SACAB fears businesses to come first at Tivoli Martin Rush Staff Writer Worried that businesses may receive priority space in the new Tivoli Union, the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board decided Feb. 3 to draft a letter to the Auraria Board expressing its concern. SACAB feels there may be a lack of

student input in the final space allocation decision. A campus-wide referendum in April approved a $3 increase in the student bond fee to take over the historic brewery. More than $10 million is being used to take over the lease from the former lease holder and to transform the Tivoli into a new student union. The facility will also contain a mix of

State funding shortfall forcing program choices Chris Austin The Metropolitan The ability of colleges to offer classes in new areas of education is threatened by a lack of state funding, forcing colleges to drop existing programs to create money for new programs. Elizabeth Friot, MSCD' Faculty Senate president, said that the Colorado Commission on Higher Education is forcing colleges to drop existing programs if the Elizabeth Friot colleges want to institute new programs. She said the procedure is being forced by a funding problem. Jessica Kazloff, the vice president of Academic Affairs for State Colleges, said that in order to get a new program started, the college must first submit a proposal to the State Board of Trustees. If the Board approves the proposal, it moves to the Colorado Commission on Higher Education for consideration. Kazloff said to be approved, a new pro-

gram must pass several criteria. "The trustees look to see if the institution is duplicating an existing program, then they look at the student demand for the program," she said. "But it really comes down to if the institution can afford the resources to implement the new program." Friot said, with the lack of state funding, departments have become hesitant about submitting proposals for new programs. "The overall effect is going to be negative on learning in new areas as they develop," Friot said. "Say Metro wanted, because of a current situation, to implement an international business program or a major in Japanese. It makes for some very hard choices. The Central Office is discouraging us from putting forth new program proposals." Kazloff said: "The last new pr2~!arfi to be approved by the Board of Trustees was Metro's fire-service proposal, and that was two years ago. There have been no recent proposals. "There is no official policy concerning the dropping of existing programs for new programs, but the reality of the situation is how is an institution going to afford this addition." The situation is not going to get better. Kazloff said that enrollment has increased 14 percent while state funding has decreased 16 percent over the last five years. "There is no new money coming into the system," she said. 0

CLARIFICATION The Metropolitan will gladly corrrect any errors published by the newspaper. To report an inaccuracy, please call 556-2507.

A Jan. 31 story on page 3 incorrectly stated the possible student fee increase. The story should have said that the increase would be between $2 to $4. Within that same story, the funds available for disbursement by the SAB for the rest of the year should have said just under $70,000. We regret these errrors.

retail outlets. The April referendum calls for two-thirds of the space in the refurbished Tivoli to be allocated to students. But there is a perception among student leaders that some parties in the renovation process want commercial needs to dictate the final result. "I think they're mainly interested in creating a mall and retail area," said MSCD Student Government President Chip Wiman,

referring to the AHEC board. "And the students will get what's left. 'Tm concerned that it's going to become the Tivoli Business Union and not the Tivoli Student Union." Wiman said he feels there may be a push to bring tenants into the Tivoli solely for financial reasons, and to assign them prime locations. He acknowledges that making the see SACAB page 6

Potential voters must meet certain qualifications in order to register to vote in the March 3 primary. They must be: - 18 years old. - A citizen of the United States. - A resident of Colorado for at least 25 days.

With Colorado's first presidential primary on March 3, Auraria students are in a position to influence the political process if they are registered to vote. CoPIRG and the Denver Election Commission made the process a little more convenient last week by bringing registration tables to campus. Attitudes about whether individuals can actually bring about change varied with different students, as some remained skeptical of their impact. Nonetheless, business was brisk at the registration tables. "I don't know if it really makes a difference," said MSCD sophomore Pam Cornelisse, "but I'll give it a try."

A bill that would effectively reduce CoPIRG's funding was postponed indefinitely in the Colorado Senate Jan. 30. HB 103,3, which would eliminate negative check-off payments like the waivable CoPIRG fee, was delayed by a vote of 6-0.

Rep. Brad Young, who wrote the bill, said that there was more to the language of the bill than he had realized. He compared it to a rattlesnake eating a lizard under a rock he saw as a child . Bradley Carver, CoPIRG's acting chairperson, said he was ecstatic about the decision and was glad that "the democratic process which exists on campus is still upheld."

Fire alarm system shorts out in Science Building, forces classroom evacuations Martin Rush Staff writer

Blaring fire alarms forced hundreds of students to evacuate the Science Building for 15 minutes Jan. 30. The Denver Fire Department had a fire

truck and a pumper on the scene within a minute of receiving the alarm at 9:59 a.m. But according to Lt. Dennis Ryan of Engine Co. 6, there was no fire. The alarm~ were triggered by a short in a system designed to minimize damage in the event of an actual fire.

According to Ryan, the heating and airconditioning system in the Science Building is equipped with duct detectors. The detectors are designed to shut down the ducts in the event of fire, containing the blaze. Ryan said that a unit in the duct detector system in the third-floor mechanical room

somehow vibrated out of its casing, perhaps due to metal fatigue. When the unit hit the metal of the adjacent heat duct, it shorted out. The building's fire alarm system properly read the ensuing electrical arc as a fire, which triggered the brief evacuation.

Obscene telephone calls

Office equipment theft

A ticket clerk in the Student Union told Auraria Public Safety that she received nine harassing telephone calls by the same caller Jan. 22 between 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. Four of the calls were obscene, three were hang-up calls and two calls were of someone breathing heavy, the clerk told police. She said the caller had a deep voice which she did not recognize. 1

APS said they have no suspects in the theft of a copy machine key, a microphone and an adding machine frgm the Saint Francis Center during the week of Jan.16 to 23. Melanie A. Halton, a clerk from the Center, told police Jan. 24 that the stolen equipment was kept on a desk in an open reception area. The desk is nonnally occupied but is left vacant for short periods du~g the day. The reception area is locked

at all other times. The thefts occurred in three separate incidents, Halton said during a telephone interview. She explained that she didn't notify APS because she thought the equipment had been misplaced. APS estimated the loss of the equipment at $325.

Small was taken to APS headquarters and later taken to Denver City Jail. Barry Tobin

TIVOLI STUDENT UNION - There is growing student concern that the Tivoli Student Union will become the Tivoli Business Union. The students voted to pay a student fee in order to develop a student union. We understand that the building must be a blend of student usage and commercial businesses, but we must ensure that the major focus of the building remains centered on student usage.

Grade Appeal and Grievance Procedure - The current grade appeal and grievance procedure does not serve the best interests of the students. Student Government believes that these processes need to be revised, in order to ensure fairness and accountability. Student Trustee Marti Long is heading up our efforts to change these restrictive policies.

The audience listens intently as Mayor Wellington Webb speaks at St. Cajetan's on Feb. 4.

SACAB from page 3 Tivoli financially sound is important, but he andothersatSACAB want student needs at the top of the priority list. The Tivoli Planning Committee is studying the renovation plans and will make recommendations to the Auraria Board. JoAnn Soker, head of the committee and executive vice president for administration for AHEC, expressed surprise when told of SACAB's concern. ''The committee was set up for the students to have representation," Soker said. "Our intention, and the result, is to have lots of student input."

Soker said there were two planning committee representatives from each of the tliree schools on -Auraria campus. In addition, she said, one student affairs officer from each school is on the committee. All SACAB members also sit on the Tivoli Planning Committee, accordfug to Soker. She said that the overall concept for the Tivoli had already been agreed upon. But she acknowledged that many of the details have yet to be worked out. "When you have uncertainties, you fear the worst," Soker said. "But we've been trying real hard to make this come out right." 0

from page 1 understand their history," Webb said to approximately 150 people at St. Cajetan's -Center. Recognizing the accomplishments and contributions other African-Americans have made to this country builds self-esteem, he said. "Jn order to have self-worth, you need to have a basic understanding of what your people have done," he said. "It aJso provides a better realistic view ... for other people to not automatically assume that all contributions made in the development and faculties of the United States were made by their particular ethnic group. Therefore, it gives us a better frame of reference for some of us that believe America is a set of ideals and values ...and in order to protect those ideals an&-~alues ...we have to ha".e some basic idea of what's history." Webb also said that defining terminology among ethnic groups is important, and is determined by where the ethnic group's ancestry comes from. "The terminology is .important in the frame of reference," he said. When discussing African-Americans and their ancestry, Webb said: "There's no such place on a map as negroland. You can't find it-anywhere on any geographic map past or present." Therefore, we must trace the ancestry back to where most black people in this country came from (Western Africa). " I think that' s important because it also sets into connotation one's roots of understanding their history." Once people comprehend history, they

can then take actions to improve their ethnic group's standing in society, Webb said. "It has always been my belief that bad elected officials are elected by people that don't vote...they feel like their vote doesn't count," he said. If people do not take proactive actions, it is hard to determine where we want to go from here to the future, Webb said.

''There's no such place on a map as negroland." Tina Schwab, promotions coordinator for Student Activities, said Webb's speech was designed to inspire African-Americans and all other ethnic groups to get more involved in government. "(To be) proactive is to encourage African-Americans to be participants on issues instead of just reacting to a situation," she said. Webb said: "Each one of you ...ought to have the same, equal voice in determining who the leaders in this country should be. Everyone should be treated based upon their abilities to succeed and fail based on their own merit." Otherwise, change and progress in government may not exist, he said. "Most African-American elected officials are proactive, and the ones that are reactive shouldn't be in office," he said. Kersten Keith, productions coordinator for Student Activities, said: "Student turnout was surprising. We thought it (the speech) 0 was great."

CAMPUS Forum focuses on freedoms, responsiblities of student press Krlstrun Marla Heldberg The Metropolitan First Amendment protections belong not only to the professional media, but to student journalists as well. 'The industry, and in fact all mediums, has a very special protection called the First Amendment and it uses that protection a lot," said Larry Strutton, Rocky Mountain News publisher. Strutton, an MSCD graduate, was the moderator of a forum celebrating Freedom of The Press Month held at the Student Union Jan. 30 for the general public. "We have the freedom to print almost anything we wish to," said Lawrence Jones, editor of The Metropolitan. "But if we are irresponsible in what we Lawrence Jones print, we will not be able to serve our purpose on this campus: · Jones talked about the importance and the responsibility of the student press.

We convince our readers that we are worth reading and that the news we print is important. It is really rather simple; We print the truth." Other forum topics included the politicalcorrectness movement on campuses nationwide, censorship on campus, the Freedom of Information Act and the Sunshine Law. Jones and Kate Lutrey, director of the MSCD Office of Student Publications, organized the forum. Sarah Ellis, an MSCD student and Capitol Reporter staff member, talked about freedom of information and Colorado's Sunshine Law. These laws allow public access to government meetings and records. "At all levels of government, decisions are being made that affect us all," Ellis said. "We have the responsibility to participate in those decision and make sure that public and not private interests are being served." Ellis discussed the threats of money buying political outcomes and the bad habit of doing public business behind closed doors. "Without access to government records the public is deprived of the information necessary to hold offi- Kristen Loop cials accountable for their actions," Ellis said. She said often when journalism students requested access to public records they were denied that right. This denial is illegal, she said, because Colorado open-records laws state that all public records shall be open for inspection by any person at reasonable times.

"It is important for students and others to know the rules and their rights, and to understand them," Ellis said. Don Lowe, editor of The Prospector and a CCD sophomore, talked about censorship on campus. "The freedom to express is very important to us all," he said. "Freedom to express allows us (the college papers) to expose what we think, or what we feel is excessive use of power and our student fees." He said the editors of this campus'

CAMPUS Financial Aid system struggles to ease frustration Sheryl Knapp The Metropolitan After a frustrating semester of trying to use the MSCD Financial Aid Office's automated phone system, some students abandoned it. 'TJI stand in line before I'll call there again," said Sharon Butler, an MSCD senior. "Itwasn'tworthmyeffort. While I'm sitting there on the phone, getting annoyed, I could at least have been standing in line and moving up a little bit - I'd feel like I'm getting somewhere. I will not call them again. It's not worth it." After many complaints and continued long lines, the counselors plan to upgrade the system, installed only last August, so students can get the information they need. Not only will there be a new recorded voice on the system, but according to Brenda Sebastian, an MSCD financialaid counselor, the menu will be enhanced.

The system menu's first upgrade will be to gradually replace the recorded voice with the voice of financial aid counselor Bennett Buenconsejo. "I think having a counselor do (the recording) will be more informative just in the way he understands the material," Sebastian said. "He can put the inflections where appropriate, and he understands what he is reading. It will be more meaningful when Bennett speaks it because he knows what he is talking about. "We will be able to upgrade it quickly because he can just run upstairs (to the third floor of the Central Classroom) when we need to update it." Students can either call this number or go to the front desk and talk with a counselor. The Financial Aid touch-tone information system phone number has been changed to 534-6501, the only number to call. Some students find this discouraging. "I never get through," said Debra Florin, an MSCD sophomore. "I just hang up and come stand in line like everybody else." Kevin Peterson, an MSCD senior, said: "It works but it's not much help. It's good for just information, but it still told me I'll have to come in, anyway." 0

EDITORIAL

Students ignore their own power for change Lawrence Jones Editor

This year could be one of the most important in our lives as students and citizens. There are many happenings that should be a focus in our lives. Colorado, for the first time ever, will _be hosting a presidential primary. The students of Auraria Campus will have the opportunity to vote on a student day care referendum. Student government elections are arriving soon. It's too bad that most of us won't even show up to vote. This campus has an abysmal record where voting is considered. Less than 10 percent is the usual number of students, out of nearly 35,000 on the campus, that actually vote for any issue. The

scariest part of this statistic is that it is comparable to all campuses across the country. The level of apathy at MSCD seems even higher. If appears that many are willing to complain about the actions of those in power over us, but few are willing to take the few minutes necessary to let their voice be heard. This is a damn shame. It is easier to understand that most students would not have the time to actually get involved, but not even time to vote? Pitiful. Voting is only the smallest part of involvement we, as students, should play in the running of this campus. There are many issues and decisions that students should make themselves aware of and involve themselves in. The Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board (SACAB) holds regular meetings where it makes recommendations on everything from the day care referendum to plans for the new Tivoli student union. Its meetings are open to the public and students should attend so that their voices are heard.

The Tivoli Planning Committee will be deciding what space will be allocated to whom in our new student union. It is important that students get involved in this process, otherwise we may find ourselves struggling for space in a new retail mall not intended for students, but

Come on people, it's time to get off your oversized butts and get involved! rather to mak~ money for AHEC. So far, according to those who attended these meetings, AHEC doesn't even want it known as the Tivoli Union, but rather as Tivoli Business. Does that sound like something to benefit students? This year we will have a chance to vote in our first presidential primary. This is probably one of the most important opp_ortunities for our voices, as students, to also be heard. We should take advantage of it. On our own campus we will soon be facing elections for the student govern-

ment. Those elected will be deciding on how to spend more than $50,000 of our student fees . This is something we should ignore? Not hardly. The current student government holds regular meetings every other Wednesday. Students should be attending these meetings to voice their opinions and ideas on what should be done with our student fees. Unfortunately, nobody seems to want to attend or even bother to offer any input to the student government. The bottom line here is that we should be involved. All too often we hear others complain about what happens on campus, but never do we hear of people getting involved and making changes. This should change. It is time to stop letting the world whiz past us without us having any effect on it. It is time to realize our power as a body of students, voters and citizens and utilize that power to our common good. Come on people, it's time to get off your oversized butts and get involved!

VIEWPOINT African-American women suffer double sting of racism What is a person to do when they feel mistreated by the school system? When the system, I feel, has paid me flagrant disregard? On Dec. 1O, 1991 , I attempted to phone register for the spring semester at approximately 9 a.m. Much to my dismay, I hit a brick wall. There was an encumbrance placed on my student registration file. I spoke to Marry Lee, who works in the Office of Admissions and Records. She informed me that indeed there was an encumbrance placed in my file for the sum of $165. The paperwork I had submitted previously was lost

amongst the extensive paperwork I'm sure they must maintain. I am a disabled veteran who served our country for four years. I'm attending college at MSCD, utilizing my educational benefits. I ended our conversation (Lee and I), and proceeded to call my VA counselor/liaison, Steve Cederly. He informed me that there was nothing he could do for me and that I was approximately the seventh or eighth veteran that ran into the same brick wall.. ..coincidence? After I wept bitterly and got the run around, I spoke again with Lee and told her I'd be down to her office

with the money. I didn't have any money, so I had to finally break down and pawn my camcorder to obtain the money I needed in order to register. As a result, I couldn't tape my oldest son's first Christmas pageant he participated in. This being a once in a lifetime event, I'm very upset. All of the Christmas things that were usually taped (opening presents, etc.) were left undone due to the administrative error. My husband and I got to the Student Accounting Office at approximately 11 :30 a.m. My husband was doing all of the talking because I was suffering an acute migraine episode, triggered partly by all the stress I had already gone through. The women were very nice to him up until they discovered that the paperwork was in fact for me. They were very cold to me. All of a sudden I became a no-class citizen in their eyes. They acted like I was disrupting them on purpose.

All of a sudden I became a no-class citizen in their eyes. They acted like I was disrupting them on purpose. I am an African-American woman. My husband is a Caucasian man. I strongly believe that they rolled out the red carpet for my husband primarily due to his race and gender. When it came time to conduct business with me, however, that carpet got pulled outfrom under me. I have read and have had discussions about how being an African-American woman in American society is. We have the burden of a double-stigma, the worst of both racial and gender trains of thought. I never dreamed I would ever see such blatant examples of the "sweatshirt" messages placed on men and women in our society manifest itself before my very eyes on this campus. I was tempted to just blow this all off, but my husband urged me to let my voice be heard. Maybe to be some consolation to others who may be out there reading this letter who have suffered this same injustice without the support to speak out. That $165 was a rather unsubtle way to "extort" more money from the students of MSCD.

THE METROPOLITAN

LETTERS

Parking problems require solutions, not excuses Editor,

I tiave experienced much frustration in recent weeks while waiting to exit the parking structure. I usually park my car on the fourth level. I have had to wait for 1Oto15 minutes in a line of cars, each waiting patiently for the two parking employees stationed at the exit to take my two dollars and allow me to be on my way. Today I could wait no more! Rather than drive down the up-ramp as I saw other less patient drivers do, I decided to contact the transportation department. The first excuse I received was "the state of Colorado has a hiring freeze and won't let us hire any more attendants." Next, I was told "the lights on Walnut are timed and only allow a certain number of cars through, thus the line to the fourth floor of the parking structure," and "the state has a fire code that will not allow us to open any other exits." I was also told "we can't help it if all the students leave at the same time." It doesn't take a genius to know that most classes get out at 1b minutes till the hour, and that the line is not backed up at Walnut but in the structure itself. The fire code would not be in violation since the entrances are not backed up and would easily allow emergency access. I can't believe that the $6 to $1 O each of us that park in that structure spend each week would not warrant hiring

two more part-time attendants. None the less, I was beginning to get the feeling that they really didn't know what was going on, or what was going to be done. I calmly asked about the other exit of the complex designated for "debit cards only." I was told" people choose.not to use the debit cards." With each answerexcuse I became even more frustrated. This reminded me of something my old scoutmaster used to tell the boys in the troop: "You either have results or you have excuses." Now what was I receiving here? I would suggest to the Parking and Transportation Center that they re-evaluate the situation. I would suggest opening both exits. I also feel that if the debit cards are not being used as they expected, they offer a discount for those people that use them. This would give people incentive to use them. It would not hurt if they also .had a discount for people that car pool. These suggestions came right off the top of my head. I'm sure with a little research and thoughtthe fine people over at the transportation department could find a solution and stop giving excuses. I would also urge my fellow students and faculty to call and suggest something be done about the situation. The number is 556-2000.

Brandishing labels "bludgeons" adult debate on issues Editq_r, Evidently, The Met has an evil twin. How else to explain the curiously misplaced vituperation of M. Brooks (Letters, 1/10/92)? Clearly the missive in which I questioned the relative merits of race-based educational financial aid (Letters, 11 /22/91) and that to which Brooks refers are not one and the same. Either that, or Brooks, by branding my words an attempt to "... incite anger from the minority-student body.. .as is the current prevailing attitude among most ... white(s)" is engaging not only in bigoted self-delusion, but is also guilty of base demagoguery. At the minimum, one would expect, from collegelevel commentary like Brooks', thoughtful disagreement. One might also, at this level, expect the presentation of ideas and assertions, or intelligent arguments based upon an objective interpretation of my earlier contribution. Instead, Brooks stoops to the sub-sophomoric: assaulting differing opinions not with reasonable disagreement, but with a banal barrage of witless propaganda and childishly unimaginative name-calling. Not only does Brooks fail to offer a valuable opposing viewpoint, but either intentionally or ignorantly quite entirely misses the point. Brandishing the label "racist" like blunt object, it has become fashionable on college campuses to bludgeon unto death any adult debate which does not

meet some nebulous and intolerant code of political correctness. Even the most innocuous disagreements are taboo. Students may not speak their own minds in class without fear of academic reprisal. And any who dare question the economic practicality and social viability of sacred cow entitlement programs, like educational affirmative action, can expect to be libelously smeared by misguided and self-serving zealots. Brooks, incapable or unwilling to understand that one may oppose a racist program without being a racist (regardless of the color of person the program harms), has met his obligation to that fashion admirably. Accused by Brooks of a host of deviant behaviors (everything from burning crosses to "babbling") and assaulted by Brooks' fractured prose (I imply, Brooks, you infer), one could reasonably expect an in-kind response from this quarter. For even the most cursory, but objective, comparative analysis of the two commentaries indicates which presents a truly "racist" attitude. But that, Brooks, is what separates the thinkers in this society from those who only pretend to think. It's what separates those of every color who are working toward a truly egalitarian society and those who, "wallowing in their own coarse bigotry," only pay lip service to that laudable goal.

Lawrence E. Jones Editor

Find herein a dastardly scheme for bringing down President Bush by November 1992. Just devastate, destroy, debunk and devour the Bush jugular: his "mandate." Democrats control 268 of 435 House seats (61.6 percent), 57 of 100 Senate seats (57 percent), 1,209of1995 state Senate seats (60.6 percent), 3,273 of 5,466 state house seats (59.9 percent) (state figures, Council of State Governments). That's Democratic landslides in four major theaters. Democrats also control a majority of governorships. After winning the presidency with 79.3 percent of the electoral vote but only 53.4 percent of the popular vote, the real vote, George Bush slickly exploited the national podium declaring mandate. A one-statistic, one-person mandate is inherently meaningless, even laughable. A genuine "mandate president" with at least 57 percent of the popular vote would also carry all or most other political theaters, at least with slim majorities, more believably with landslides.

Democratic governors , 325 Democratic cungresspersons, even powerful state legislators must attack and ravage evil King George's house-of-cards mandate: "a thousand points of light." Baste, broil and devour King George NOW while his polls are down. Atwater politics. Do unto King George what he did unto Mike Dukakis. Slice and dice. Democrats should continue the blitz during personal appearances in home states (and possibly until November 1992), reminding the public repeatedly of the fraudulent mandate and that King George the Slick is a former CIA director. Result? Republicans will be buried when his papier mache castle collapses. When ballots are counted, there'll be a Democrat in the White House. And declare a Democratic mandate - the real mandate. There's more than one election in this democracy. Right slick George? Furthermore, Bullwinkle, don't you think eight Republicans and seven conservatives on the Supreme Court is just a trifle fascist?

He combs his hair back with his fingers to expose a · small ring and diamond stud he wears on his left ear. He's tall with a solid physique and a calm personality. Beaty started lifting weights in high school and became niore serious in the last four years. He placed third in the Continental U.S.A. competition in 1989. Beaty spends two or three hours a day six days a week on his workouts. He sticks to a high protein diet with a caloric intake that fluctuates depending on the season. Beaty is currently training and preparing for two contests: the Colo_rado State Championships and the Collegiate Nationals, both to be held in June. He is a senior at MSCD majoring in speech communications with a minor in journalism and plans to graduate in May, "with a 3.5," he says proudly. Bodybuilding is a sport that takes an amazing amount of energy, discipline and dedication. Beaty likes to compete but he also loves the sport as a hobby, too.

Elton John and Bernie Taupin are one of the most respected songwriting teams on the music scene today. Their influence has impacted the music industry arid pop culture for over 25 years. You'll find proof of their influence in the recent all-star PolyGram release, TwoRooms:CelebratingTheSongsO/Elton John & Bernie Taupin. The project prompted several rock icons to step forward and pay homage to the flagrantly eccentric superstar and his partner Who's raspy rendition of Saturday Night' s Alright to the Beach Boys' AnnetteFunicello-fun-in-thesun spin on Crocodile Rock and Tina

"Yeah I can bitch, I can bitch/'Cause I'm better than you/It's the way that I move{fhe things that I do." She must really identify with this song, she did it on a solo LP back in the '70s and explains on the liner notes, "The attitude is right for me - it's a little bit shocking." The only other shocking aspect of this star-studded tribute is that with so many leg. ends belting out such classics as Philadelphia Freedom, Levon and Daniel, some fall surprisingly short of any normal expectations. Comparison can kill any artist, bi.it L11 the case of Hall and Oates' cover of P hiladelphia Freedom, it seems more damage was done to the song. The tempo crawls be-

hind the emotionless vocals of the usually accurate duo. Hall and Oates re-created the Bernie Taupin Philadelphia sound made popular during the late '70s by producers Gamble and Huff, without adding any '90s flavoring to the track. Jon Bon Jovi had some problems as well. While John's original version ofLevoa soars, Bon Jbvi cai::t't get it off the ground. The music does a good job of re-creating the mood, but Bon Jovi sounds intimidated in his vocal interpretation. Wilson Phillips, however, did a superb job with the vocals on Daniel. Their harmo-

nies are goose-bump inducing, and they cut straight to the emotional core of the lyrics. The only lagging element in the track is the music, which sounds like it was played through a Fisher-Price keyboard. Sinead O'Connor borders on irritating and highly inspired in her complete renovation ofJohn 's '89 hit, Sacrifice. 0' Connor's version leaves behind all but a hint of the original, coming up instead ~ith a forlorn, tragic lullaby. It is a touching mix, however, featuring only a keyboard's soft, subtle chords behind her whimpering vocals. Her interpretation is intriguing. The track is very slow and absorbing, drawing you in despite the singer. On the other hand, George Michael provides complete bliss with his livecoverofTonight. His crystal-clear voice wavers between bass and tenor with unbelievable agility. The touching lyrics and dramatic, building arrangement marked by elegant strings seem tailor-made for Michael. "I can still remember the first time I heard this song," Michael says on the liner notes. "I listened to it the entire evening. Even though I was only 13 years old, Tonight was possibly the most moving song I had ever beard." Phil Collins lets loose on Burn Down The Mission, bringing his wealth of passion and soul to interpret the track accurately, while spicing it with his own distinct style of drums and keyboards and a strong horn section. He brought along Steve Win wood on organ. A simplistic yet moving arrangement incorporating only bass and piano romantically opens up behind Sting· s eloquent vocals in Come Down In Time. He addresses it as a club song, very luxurious and ornate, but at the same time chaste. The depth isn't in the mix, but in the emotions expertly drawn out by Sting. Other extravagant tracks are Eric Clapton's bluesy interpretation of Border Song (holy Moses); a deep, gospel-inspired Don't Let.. The Sun Go Down On Me by Oleta Adams; and Joe Cocker's wonderfully emotional -•Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word. Even if these versions don 't touch your soul in the same way as the originals, the CD takes you along a brilliant musical path of mellifluous compositions. If nothing else, these artists provide proof of the genius of Elton John and Bernie-Taupin. 0

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

'Unknown' often means 'hidden gem' in NCAA Will Hinton Sports Editor

----

Everyone who follows college hoops even casuallyknows about the game's superstars. Players like Duke's Christian Laettner, Oklahoma State's Byron Houston, Ohio State'sJimrny Jackson and ShaquilleO'Neal of LSU dominate the media coverage and will lik~ly occupy four of the five first-team All-America positions. However, there are a lot of players who can play with anyone in the country, but thanks to small media markets, losing teams or the huge shadows cast by the big-name players, they are relatively unknown. So, with two months left in the college season, here's a guide to the lesser knowns. I give you my all-you-otta-know-'em team: First Team Clarence Weatherspoon, 6-foot-7 Sr., Southern Miss: Heralded as the second coming of Charles Barkley, he is better than Byron Houston in some aspects as a power forward, particularly in his outside shooting. Ifit wasn't for Houston, "Spoon" would be the best power forward in the game. Instead, you can just take your pick, something the NBA will do when it makes both players lottery picks in 1992. Allan Houston, 6-foot-6 Jr., Tennessee: This kid is a coach's son (be plays for daddy

Wade at UT), so you know he's fundamentally sound, but it is his height and explosiveness that make him special. At 6-foot-6, he shoots with the best of them and does things with the ball that most small guys only dream about. Walt Williams, 6-foot-8 Sr., Maryland: There are a lot of NBA teams in need of a quality point guard and "The Wizard" is the answer. His combination of height, ball handling and scoring skills are unmatched by anyone in a collegiate uniform. He will be an All-American and a lottery pick. Rodney Rogers, 6-foot-7 Sr., Wake Forest: People have trouble classifying this guy-center-powerforward-smallforward is what most end up with. I have the answer: Mr. Universe. Rogers is the proud owner of the best build in college hoops and is the Atlantic Coast Conference's answer to Byron Houston. He owns some pretty good offensive skills and rebounds at will. Adam Keefe, 6-foot-9 Sr., Stanford: This redhead reminds me of another carrot-top who could play a little ball, a rebounding hustle-maniac named Dave Cowens. Cowens is in the Basketball Hall of Fame. Add the fact that Keefe is a scoring machine and you have a lottery pick. Tom Gugliotta, 6-foot- lOSr.,N.C. State: From bench warmer to possible lottery pick, this guy is the most improved player in college. He is a poor man's Laettner and, if

it were not for his counterpart at Duke, he would be the best center in the ACC. Dawn Staley, 5-foot-10 Sr., Virginia: This crafty point guard truly belongs with the boys. She was the unanimous NCAA player of the year in 1991 and has a game that could win the Olympic Gold and possibly an NCAA championship, all by itself. Second Team Bryant Stith, 6-foot-5 Sr., Virginia: He is small for a forward, but he is an Adrian Dantely-type player, a guy who plays the post with superior strength and smarts. David Booth, 6-foot-7 Sr., DePaul: He is a rail at only 195 lbs., but good things come in skinny packages, and I've seen Booth dunk in the faces of several guys 50 pounds his superior. Afernee Hardaway, 6-foot-7 So., Memphis State: After sitting out his freshman year under Proposition 48, Hardaway is beginning to live up to his high school comparisons to Magic Johnson. Point guard, shooting guard or small forward, he's got the game to play all three. Sean Sutton, 6-foot-1 Sr., Oklahoma State: This guy is just a sound, all-around point guard who, like Allan Houston, plays for his Dad (Eddie). He runs the show on the No. 2 team in America, pretty good credentials in my book. Acie Earl, 6-foot-10 Jr., Iowa: He is the Hawkeye's Acie in the hole. He plays center

but is more of a power forward and in the bruising, post-up Big IO Conference, Earl offers a refreshing game based on quickness and finesse. PopeyeJones,6-foot-8Sr.,MurrayState: Besides having one of the best names in the game, Jones presents opposing centers with anirnmovableobjectandnicetouch in close. He is a merciless rebounder. JuliusMichalik,6-foot-9Fr.,IowaState: All the freshman talk this year has been aboutChrisWebber,JalenRoseandtherest of the Fab Five at Michigan, but this Czechoslovakian import has a nice outside shot and post game. He'skinda weird though. HechoseiowaStateoverschoolsinCalifornia because he liked the weather in Ames. Billy Curley, 6-foot-10 So., Boston Col- ..:; lege: He passed on sure stardom to stay in his home state to play; a decission I respect He may not save BC, but he will make some NBA franchise happy in a few years. Lisa Leslie, 6-foot-5 So., Southern Cal: With a 100-point half (yes, as in before halftime)in high school, and the ability to dunk better than most men, she is the heir to ex-Trojan Cherryl Miller's throne as the greatest woman ever to play the game. Ralph Rivers, 6-foot-3 Sr., MSCD: Judging by the shoddy attendance figures put up by the lame-o's we call our student body, apparently no one here knows about Ralph. 0

MSCD swimmer G8rd frEie-stYlish-in pool Mike Sallier The Metropolitan Bernie "Berndog" Gard sure has his way when it comes to long-distance swimming. When looking at the 19-year-old sophomore, his numbers show you that he is something special. "Bernie works so hard," swimming Coach Cindy Kemp said. "He puts in a lot of time practicing." Gard's work ethic has enabled him to break several records in just two years. In fact, this year Gard bas a qualifying time for the NCAA Division II tournament in the 500-yard freestyle. However, according to Kemp, times that are recorded in higher altitudes may be subjected to additions in overall times because of the differences in altitudes. Kemp said that she has yet to find out if that would affect whetheror not Gard's time in the 500 freestyle would stand. Gard came to MSCD from Littleton High School where, as a four-year letterman, he swam for a team that was always in the top five teams in Colorado. During his senior year, Gard became a team captain and peaked during the state swimming tournament when he came in fourth place. He also received all-conference and all-state accolades during that year. After his performance at the state competition, Gard bad several choices for college including Kansas University, Washington State University and the University of Oregon. But Gard chose MSCD because

of the scholarship that was offered to him. Right now, Gard is tapering down the "The other schools wanted me to swim amount or yardage that he swims each day for a year," Gard said. "Then they would during practice. He explained that tapering offer me a scholarship. At Melro, they offered helps to reduce times for meets. "Bernie swims much better after he rests me a scholarship right away." Gard also noted that University of Den- for a while," Coach Kemp said. "His times ver didn't even give him a second look. "I'd will drop dramatically." really like to show them what they missed," Gard's swimming at MSCD will be filled Gard said. with steady improvements if he has his way. The reasoning for Gard's improvements "A lot of people wiJI peak during their and his hard-working personality comes from junior year," he said. "I hope to peak during the good coaching that he received during my senior year." high school, he said. "Coach 'Stringy' Ervin If Gard keeps his driven attitude, many taught me a lot about swimming and about more MSCD records, as well as other records, myself," Gard said. "When there were times may be his before he leaves. 0 that I had second thoughts about continuing swimming, he gave me encouragement." Gard likes swimming in Division II rather than Division I because he believes that Division II colleges have good competition, and education doesn't take a back seat to athletics. "In Division I schools, swimmers must eat, sleep and drink swimming," Gard said. "I wanted to have a life." Academically, Gard is a criminology major who has aspirations of working for the federal government as a U.S. Marshall or an agent for the FBI. "I'm not coordinated enough for basebaJI and I'm not big enough for footbaJI. I plan on getting a job with the government Llun G,._T-/lhe Melropabl or maybe getting a master's deMSCD's Bernie Gard takes a break during practice. gree."

Women win game~ lose assistant

The MSCD women's basketball team extended its winning streak to nine games and ran its CAC-best record to 7-0 with a 101-95 overtime win over the University of Southern Colorado at home Feb 1. The win, however, was a bit tainted by the absence of Student Assistant Coach Rick Lopez, who resigned the day before. According to Head Coach Darryl Smith, Lopez had not fulfilled a responsibility given to him and, after talking with Smith, decided to step down himself. The position will not be filled. The Roadrunners were visibly shaken as they allowed a team that was lesser in talent and depth to bang with them. USC put on a gritty performance with a roster that ran only eight. deep. When SbellyGrasmickbecametbefourtblndian to foul out, USC was forced to play the final six seconds with only four players. USC's Annette Smith bit for a gamehigh 36 points in a losing effort. MSCD improved its record to 16-2, the most wins in school history. The 100point performance was a first for MSCD. MSCD was led by the backcourt duo of Cindy Dalton and Cassie Sandoval, who hit for 25 and 23 points respectively. The difference in the game might have beenreserve-forwardNatalieDittmer, who came off the bench to score 13 points and grab seven boards. Dittmer' s performance came as no surprise to Smith, who said, "offensively, she can play with the best of them." a

Malcolm X spoke at the Harvard Law Forum on three significant • occasions: in 1961 at the height of his involvement with the Black Muslims; in March of 1964 when he had just broken with them; and again in December 1964, only two months before his assassination. Here are the revolutionary ideas that made Malcolm X one of the most charismatic and influential African-American leaders of the 60s. These speeches document his progression from black nationalism to internationalism, and are key to understanding this singular man's remarkable life and his angry yet uplifting cause. $1-0.95

Jake Lamar is a child of the civil rights movement. Born In the Bronx in 1961, educated at private schools and at Harvard, he tried to live his life by Martin Luther King, Jr.'s credos. At the heart of this powerful and evocative memoir is the relationship of Jake and his father, who grew up in terrible poverty in Georgia and scratched his way to success against the odds. This is the moving story of two ambivalent social pioneers facing the ironies of integration and the struggles of the black middle class to succeed in white America. Jake Lamar $18.50

SLAVE

Illuminating the moral dilemmas that lay at the heart of a slave-holding society, this book tells the story of a young slave who was sexually exploited by her master and ultimately executed for his murder. An important addition to our understanding of the pre-Civil War era, Celia is set in the context of the 1850s slavery debates. Author Mclaurin uses the story of one woman in one small place to probe the larger questions of the histories of the South, of women, of the law, and slavery. Elegantly written and meticulously researched, Celia, A Slave is an invaluable contribution. Melton A. Mclaurin $19.95

Experiencing all the textures and layers of Africa, he rides with nomads, walks the desert to Morocco, is arrested as a spy in Liberia, and dines on rat stew in a hut in central Africa. He moves from encounter to encounter, from vague suspicion to dead certainty that he is not of this place and not of its thinking. In Africa, Harris finds extraordinary warmth and virulent racism - a racism practiced by blacks against one another. Gradually, he sees the fatalism, acceptance of injustice, and a passivity that he finds alien to his American core, laid bare by his loving but unflinching eye. Eddy L. Harris $21.50

The provocative and unforgettable images in this book are a collaborative effort of some of the nation's best black photojournalists. They take us from the cotton fields of Mississippi to the floor of the New York Stock Exchange; from the anguish of the homeless in the nation's capital to a fifth grade graduation ceremony. In them, we see ordinary Americans living extraordinary lives. $24.95
