AHEC inaction contrasts with-cities Complaints about response by city officers handled promptly, but Saker says charge against APS 'in error' Barry Tobin Deanna Allen Staff Writers

Manning Marable, a University of Colorado professor of political science and history, spoke Feb. 21 to a standing-roomonly audience in the St. Francis Center on the legacy of Malcolm X.

Professor lives legacy of Malcolm X Martin Rush Staff Writer

Two hundred people packed the St. Francis Center Feb. 21 to hear a nationally known black educator speak on the life and legacy of Malcolm X. Manning Marable, a University of Colorado professor ofpolitical science and history and a nationally syndicated columnist, called Malcolm X one of the most important figures in American political history. He recalled Malcolm X as a man who fought for truth, freedom and dignity, not only for African-Americans, but for all people, and as a man who spoke directly and powerfully to the oppressed.

"By honoring Malcolm, we are honoring ourselves," Marable said. 'The greatness in Malcolm reflects the greatness in ourselves." Marable put the black activist's life into perspective for his audience. He gave an overview of black nationalist politics in America, focusing on Elijah Muhammed's Nation oflslam. He recounted Malcolm X's rise as a minister in the Nation oflslam during the 1950s and 1960s, his emergence as an internationally recognized black leader and bis split from Elijah Muhammed at the end of his life. Malcolm X was assassinated in 1965 during a speech in Harlem, N.Y. Marable also drew parallels between Malcolm X and

The failure of an AHEC administrator to investigate allegations of slow responses by Auraria Public Safety would be unlikely in comparably sized communities, according to a survey. AHEC Executive Vice President JoAnn Soker told The Metropolitan last week that she "may have screwed up" and failed to pass on a complaint about Auraria Public Safety's response to a burglary reported May 7, 1991. In Englewood, they process complaints within 72 hours, said Sue Bradshaw, city manager's office spokeswoman. Englewood was one of the communities surveyed because its population is similar in size to that of the Auraria Campus. The police department is staffed by 60 patrol officers, Bradshaw said. The Aurora city manager's office directs complaints to each specific department. 'The best person to investigate complaints is the director of the department that the complaint is against," said Diane Eckels, spokeswoman for the city manager. Aurora, like Englewood, processes every complaint. In Arvada, complaints to the city manager's office are always passed on to either the police chief orcommanderof a particular division. "A complaint is never not passed on," said Brian Grauberger, acting assistant to the Arvada city manager. Soker's failure to pursue the allegations was brought to light through two letters of inquiry written to Soker by James J. Brodell, MSCD assistant professor of journalism. Brodell accused APS of refusing to release information that is public record in order to cover up its "continual blundering." In the May 7 burglary, APS reportedly was notified of the incident about 4:28 p.m. and failed to respond within 10 minutes, according to Brodell. In his May 15 letter, Brodell also alluded to an alleged sexual assault in the Auraria Library. "I cannot understand how a molester can ply his trade in the library without being caught more quickly than was the case," Brodell wrote to Soker. "I request that you have someone not connected with APS look into that matter." Brodell was referring to a March 1991 series of incidents at the library in which a man assaulted women on three separate occasions before he was apprehended by APS. The assailant plead guilty to third-degree assault March 21.

s excitement as MSCD faculty background and I wanted to give something back," he said. Boyer said his main objective in the classroom was to bring a combination of entrepreneur and practical experiences while relaying good solid teaching to his students. Boyer, who dropped out of high school and then went back to school to eventually receive a doctorate, has one piece of important advice for his students. "Everyone is an individual and has a need to get in touch with their own strengths veaknesses. Now this doesn't happen night, but once you, acknowledge these ,cts, then you will be able to find your 1e in life and go for it," he said. "When I received my mjlSter's in engi1 !ring, all I wanted to do was work with 1 .ngs. But after I got my Ph.D., all I wanted 1 do was work with people. I later learned had to combine both of them and apply iem to my business strategies to become ccessful," Boyer said. The hard knocks in Boyer's early life lped create his success in the world of siness. "When you get so behind and then final! y e up, you get perspective on your life t in turn creates this drive to overcome feeling you have of being the underdog," said. Boyer added that education is very imt and students who feel some academ-

ics are abstract and not benefitting them for real life events have to come to terms with these ideas. "Ideas are abstract, school is abstract, but they give you disciplines and they take this abstraction and tum it into something you will use in future events," he said. Mona Mussack, an MSCD management junior who is enrolled in Boyer's Organizational Management class, said that she would take another class with him. "He throws in insights from his company experiences which give examples to what he's teaching at the moment," she said. Mark Bichler, an MSCD management senior who is enrolled in Boyer's Management World class, said he brought in a fair amount of international aspects of business which was a plus. "Dr. Boyer seems more in touch with day-to-day experiences, and Dennis Boyer if he offered to teach another class, I would take it if I wasn't graduating," he enjoyed myself, but DU is just starting up a program and wants me to make it a success, said. Well, it seems that the students and MSCD so I'm going to try it," Boyer said .

AHEC from page 1 Soker responded June 4. "I cannot agree with you in your opinion about the services provided by Auraria Public Safety," she wrote. "I believe they do an excellent job, although we know that we can always improve." Soker finished her letter by saying,

"Please let me know if you need any other information." Brodell wrote to Soker one week later. "I presume you looked into my complaint about the events of May 7 ,"he wrote. "Sources both inside and outside APS suggest that patrolmen took nearly 20 minutes to respond."

Brodell again asked for an investigation requesting Soker reply to his allegations. "My understanding is that there was no burglary," Soker said Feb. 26: "Jay is in error. That's the best information I've got." Soker said that at the time she believed Brodell's requests were about records releases in general, not specific incidents. 0

can society. "Malcolm did not believe an integrated cup of coffee was sufficient payment for 300 years of slave labor in America," Marable said. Marable, who is writing two books on Malcolm X, noted with some irony that the best source of information on this historical figure comes from the FBI, who compiled 2,200 pages of documents on Malcolm X through illegal wiretaps.

Much like the man he was speaking about, Marable was judged by his audience to be a powerful orator. "He provided clarity around issues of equality," said Michael Simmons, UCD interim directorof Student Life. "He showed how we all rise on issues of human dignity." The speech was sponsored by the Black Student Alliance and Democratic Socialists of America. Many events were planned in 0 celebration of Black History Month.

Marable from page 1 Martin Luther King Jr. Both men, he said, were activists who fought racial oppression and the injustices of corporate capitalism in America. But where King's memory has been revered by the mainstream media, Marable said Malcolm X has been distorted as a racial demagogue. He also pointed out the conflicts between Malcolm X and traditional civil rights leaders, who fought for integration into Ameri-

Irish debate series topic announced

::.

Press investigations of the private lives of public office-seekers will be the topic for the" 13th Annual Friends of the Irish Debate Series." The topic was chosen, primarily because of the changing media coverage of politics in the United States and Ireland. Three students from MSCD will take on thewinners from The Irish Times debate series in Dublin. "Reporters are not getting at the real issues of campaigns," said Gary Holbrook, director of the debates and MSCD speech professor. "Families are being drawn out for the wrong reasons. That's why we decided to debate on this motion. I think it is especially relative, since this is a presidential election year." The MSCD debate will be at l p.m. March 12 in the Student Union, Room 330.

Candidates offer variety in education finance plans As Colorado's first presidential primary approaches on March 3, financial aid for students is sure to be a hot topic among voters on Auraria Campus as well as other campuses across America. The views on fianancial aid among the 1992 presidential candidates run the gamut from cutting back on financial aid to offering more aid in exchange for civil service. The views of the frontrunners are as follows, provided by the National Student News Service:

Republican candidates: President George Bush: Would limit eligibility for some federal student loan programs. Opposes expansion of Pell Grant program. Pat Buchanan: Supports merit-based federal loans and grants.

Democratic candidates: Former Califomia Gov. Jerry Brown: Supports increases in achievement and need-based scholarships and a national service proposal. Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton: Would create a fund for college tuition. Borrowers would pay back through a portion of income or by national service in teaching or law enforcement. Iowa Senator Tom Harkin: Would provide free college education in return for four years of national service inmilitary, teaching, health care or law enforcement. Former Nebraska Gov. Bob Kerry: Supports a scholarship fund which students could pay back with a percentage of their income; would expand existing programs. Former Mas.uchusetts Senator Paul Tsongas: Students would have the opportunity to receive student loans which could then be paid back as a percentage of their income over an extended period of time. a

EDITORIAL

Obligations exist for newspapers, readers Deanna Allen News Editor

Just doing our job. It seems like such a simple phrase and is used by many people to justify what they do when other people don't like what they

have done or its consequences. But it is our time to say it. A newspaper exists on a variety of levels and serves a variety of readers. What we do is process information to the best of our ability and report to the readers what' we have learned. Biases and opinions are left to the editorial pages. We work hard to check and double-check every fact, allowing all sides to be heard on any topic we cover. There have been articles and cartoons in the last few weeks with which some people have disagreed. That is their right. Those complaints need to be

expressed on these pages. They are called editorial and opinion pages, a place to express your opinion, thoughts and ideas. Except for our sports editor, whose column appears in that section, these are the only pages in which our reporters and editors express opinion. Often when someone complains that a story was biased, or favors one side of an issue over another, the complainants are usually too close to one side of the issue. Sometimes these are the same people who refused to talk to the reporter before the story was published. We are human and make mistakes.

As students we are trying very hard to be accurate and factual , but errors can occur. That is why we offer corrections, clarifications and letters to the editor. Disagree with an opinion on these pages? Write a letter. Think we are not covering an issue that students should know about? Write a letter or give us a call. We read every piece of mail and answer every phone message as quickly as we can. But don't grouse to your friends or complain to your neighbor (unless your neighbor happens to be an editor). Contact us. We want to hear from you.

GUEST VIEWPOINTS

The Metropolitan errs in publishing anti-Zionist view Nearly a century ago, a document outlining the world conquest and domination by Jews was published in St. Petersburg, Russia. It claimed to have unmasked a sinister plot by prominent Jewish leaders to seize the world by force, by poisoning water supplies, spreading diseases, undermining national economies and assassinating world leaders. The myth of this great Jewish conspiracy was known as the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Although this document was discredited as a hoax perpetrated by Pyotr lvanovich Rachkovsky shortly after its publication, its vile ideas continued to manifest themselves in many forms throughout the 20th century. Henry Ford in the 1920s published parts of them along with other antisemitic items in his newspaper, the Dearborn Independent. Most recently, and closer to home, was Keith Allen Wilson's column in the Feb. 14 edition of The Metropolitan. The Jews are indeed a separate people, every bit as much as the Italians, the Chinese or Hispanics. The Jewish religion, Judaism, is the religion unique to the Jewish people. Although some people have a hard time comprehending this, other examples of this situation ·exist among various Native-American tribes,

each tribe having its own distinct religion. Apart from their religion, the Jews have a distinct history, language, folklore and cuisine. All of the prerequisite ingredients for a distinct culture. Professional antiSemites of every stripe have endeavored throughout history to distill the Jewish people down to existence of being a mere religious affiliation. Whether or not Theodor Herzl was an atheist is irrelevant as he himself had a Jewish identity. In 19th-century Austria, you didn't have to maintain your Jewishness; others in not so much kinder means reminded you of it. Zionism is the national movement of the Jewish people to re-establish their own homeland, the ancient state of Israel. Theodor Herzl recognized this need after the Dreyfus affair, at the end of the 19th century. The need intensified during and shortly after World War II. Historically, the Jews remained "guests" within their client countries. At best, they were regarded as second-class citizens. The Holocaust, the culmination of this historical role, demonstrated that without a homeland of their own, the Jewish people would forever remain on the fringes of world toleration and goodwill. Although anti-Semites routinely cloak themselves

/ ..

under the guise of anti-Zionism, they themselves remain the enemy of the Jewish people. The late Martin Luther King, himself a friend of the Jews, recognized this when he said, "When people criticize Zionism, they mean Jews". Anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism are one and the same. Those who deny Jewish nationhood, and advocate the destruction of Israel, are indeed the enemies of the Jewish people. The term "anti-Semitism" was coined in 1879 by Wilhelm Marr, to describe the growing German political movement againstthe Jews. Although the term has nothing to do with Semites, in the broader and more common contex1 it represents hatred towards Jews. In this contex1, the term "anti-Semitism" is generally written antisemitism to minimize ambiguity in order to convey its distinct meaning. The same cycle of events which facilitated the creation of the state of Israel, also help facilitate the American civil rights movement. Jewish Americans readily identifying with the plight of African-Americans, helped in establishing the NAACP. With the fresh memories of the horrors of Hitler's Holocaust, Jewish people recognized the continuing injustices perpetrated against minorities within the United States and became the strongest allies of those seeking social justice. The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. recognized this and helped build the powerful Black-Jewish alliance which woke the collective conscience of America. As an African, Mr. Wilson should at least appreciate the fact that there were Jews who paid with their lives in their quest for this most noble cause. Although Mr. Wilson is entitled to his first amendment right of free speech, I do hold The Metropolitan responsible and accountable for the publication of Mr. Wilson 's vile and bigoted trash. Although The Metropolitan reserved the right to refuse publication of his material, it chose to do so anyway, going beyond the realm of responsible journalism. By allowing such libel to be published, the newspaper itself sunk down to the level of the Dearborn Independent. In an era of increased cultural awareness, would similar columns be published attacking Hispanics, Asians or African-Americans? Or is it that Jews remain the only safe targets for bigots to focus their hatred towards. Deception and lies are the parents of hate and bigotry. Hitler knew and exploited this in his effort to cleanse the world of those he saw undesirable. Over two-fifths of the world's Jewish population (six million) were murdered as a result of Nazi deception, lies and hatred. Today, these twisted concepts remain the foundation of the various hate groups throughout the United States. Therefore, I strongly request that the editor and the staff of The Metropolitan review their procedures and policies regarding publication of unsolicited material, so that trash remains where it belongs - in the trash can. Mark Zimmerman, graduate student, University of Colorado at Denver ..

LETTERS Zionism viewpoint 'blatant distortion of history' Editor, It is unfortunate that Keith Allen Wilson, author of "United Nations Wrongs Jews by Promoting Zionism" (The Metropolitan, Feb. 14) does not utilize the research skills that have been taught in MSCD's classrooms. Instead, Wilson resorts to fabrication, manipulation and blatant distortion of history. The map of Europe was rearranged due to the emergence of a new political force in the 19th century: nationalism. Prior to this phenomenon Jews were encouraged to be part of the "larger society" in certain parts of Europe as a result of the 18th-century Enlightenment. At the very same time that Jews were taking full advantage of their new-found freedom and opportunity, nationalist writers, such as Germany's Goethe, castigated them as a people "who could never be real citizens of any state." Why? Prejudicial laws forced Jews to live in the ghettos of the cities. Therefore, they created a community within a community and governed themselves. The Jews knew who they were and where they stood in relation to their fellow Jews and gentile society. Even as the Jews prayed for a return to Zion, they could count on the everyday stability of a life governed by Jewish custom and authority. Jews began to question their place within this

growing nationalistic movement. They were confronted daily with anti-Semitic outbursts and violent pogroms, and for them the solution lay in a reconstituted Jewish homeland in Palestine. Yet as Jews, religion and nationality were welded together so that the spiritual and political parts could not be separated. Zionism Is a reunion between a people and a land which has been separated for thousands of years. Zionism is not new to Judaism. For example, it is mentioned in the Book of Psalms: "If I forget thee 0 Jerusalem, may my right hand forget its cunning; I will bring your seed from the East and gather you from the West. I will say to the North, give up, and to the South, keep not back. Bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth. n Equating Zionism with racism makes all national movements racist. Zionism does not racially distinguish between Jews, white, black or otherwise. Nowhere does Zionism preach racist ideology or encourage social injustice. Zionism is embraced by non-religious and religious Jews while continuing to ensure Jewish political freedom, spiritual fulfillment and sanctuary for Jews worldwide.

The first goal is being achieved as women prove themselves as individuals, equal to men in positions of power. Unfortunately, the individual is frequently perceived to be unique in her abilities. This does little to change perceptions of the majority of men about women! Why is it that business women frequently have to demonstrate abilities as individuals that business men are assumed to have? Let's consider who makes that assumption. He is the average corporate board member, 50 years plus, hetero and male; a college graduate from before the early '60s, educated at a time when it wasn't necessary to take the feminist movement seriously and no one knew about all the people hiding in the closets. This was a time when many people thought the feminist movement was amusing and "homo bashing" was a national pastime. Okay, so we have members of the "Old Boys Network" that realize there are a few women that can do the job and they assume these women are exceptions to the rule. They have promoted some women up in the ranks but rarely to a position of power and never into a position that would require men to relinquish control. Face it, most women aren't there just because they are considered to be better qualified, although they may be; the overriding factor is, it's good public relations, and, in some cases, it's the law. According to the First Amendment to the Constitution, a person has the right to be ignorant and the right to let everybody know it. But, seriously, we need to educate these guys. Who will have the opportunity to do it? Since it is still far easier for men to break into the corporate boardroom, they would provide the quickest avenue to positive change. This is more likely to happen if EVERYONE has a positive experience with gender studies. IF THERE IS A BARRIER, LET US DO MORE THAN JUST DEFINE IT, LET'S REMOVE, NOT REINFORCE IT! Now, let's use a little logic and make a wild assumption. The future male corporate board member: 1. Plans for the future. 2. Excels in his studies, i.e.

has a decent GPA. 3. Has the ability to do some critical thinking. 4. Would be adept at voicing his opinion. Assume he enrolls into a women's study course. He would probably voice his opinion which he developed after some critical thinking about feminist theory (or male bashing) and crash his GPA. But, he'll plan ahead to avoid that trap because he knows that in the Women's Studies Department at MSCD, his constitutional right to free speech isn't respected. (Many women share this view.) If a gender studies requirement for graduation is imposed upon the students of MSCD without the development of courses that meet the needs and reflect the diversity of the gender/sexual orientation of the student population as a whole, it will fail. Not only will itfail to gain the support of the students, but it would only serve to validate the assumptions of senior board members in corporate America. When they hear from these men that our radical feminist educators still haven't learned how to communicate, they will again be amused. Not only will we fail to influence the "old boys" in a manner that will positively change the plight of anyone who is not hetero and male in business, but they're not likely to provide public or financial support for political candidates that don't meet these criteria either. To avoid a new generation of communication problems in the corporate and political world and society in general, we need to learn to be more effective communicators. Let's re-examine the communications model and apply it appropriately. I'm paying to be educated. That requires thought and ir1ieraction with an instructor who is willing to stop short of requiring students to adopt an ideology. Well, I think I've probably insulted all four of the major groups that should be vocal on this issue. Now, let's hear from y'all, am I wrong? Should there be changes? Are your gender communication needs being addressed? Should there be change? What kind of change? If you think my theory is flawed, show me where. Make a difference! Insult somebody! Listen to somebody! Do something, anything, but use your constitu~ tional right of free speech!

Double talent makes for twice the pleasure Kim Brown Features Editor There are two distinct personalities to JackGray,butthedoctorsdon'tmind. We're talking art here, and anything goes. Gray's MSCD senior art thesis exhibition, titled "Dimidiate," opened at 7 p.m. Tuesday, February 25, in Room 199 of the Arts Building, and his split personality is apparent with his full color fine art drawings on one side of the room and his black and white editorial cartoons on the other. The works are almost contradictory in their styles. Dirnidiate means to divide in half, said Gray, 23. Gray's work exemplifies talent in ' both of these art genres. In his thesis statement, Gray says he is influenced by the works of Francis Bacon, Jim Dine, Marshall Arisman andRembrandt van Rijn. For those who don't know much about art, that might not mean much, but his enthusiasm for art can be understood by someone in any field. "I am so motivated by the process of communicating ideas," his thesis states, "that as soon as one drawing is finished, I am anxious to move on to the next." This can be seen publicly by the fact that he draws two different editorial cartoons for both campus weekly papers. But which type of drawing does he like to do best? "It depends," Gray said.

Support group targets male issues Katerina Ahlfort The Metropolitan Many male students today find themselves caught between contradictory role models, stereotyping and stress. MSCD offers an array of support groups, but where can the average guy turn for help and advice among his own gender? This was the concern ofRamon Montoya, peer adviser at the MSCD Development Center, who last fall detected a lot of unhappiness among the men who visited his office. Ramon decided to take action. Earlier this month, he started a support group for rnenatAurariaCampus-theMen'sGroup. "There is definite!ya need for male Metro students to get together and talk," Montoya said. "The area where most men are lacking skills is communication - it seems as if they have a hard time opening up." Montoya emphasized that the Men ' s Group is not to be confused with groups where men "dance around a fire, beating drums" in attempts to get in touch with their inner masculinity. The main focus of the Men 's Group, Montoya explained, is to talk about manhood and the different stages of male development. Through talks, he hopes to help each individual learn more about his own stereotyping of women and minorities. "Men are, from the minute they are born, socialized into a role, an emotional trap,"

Montoya said. From the student perspective, according to Montoya, the most usual problem is stress. Male students often have a hard time slowing down from school and work, which conflict with relationships in their lives. Jose Rodriguez, staffpsychologist, works with Montoya in the group, which now has nine male students. Men of all ages and backgrounds are welcome at the meetings. "Right now there is a great interest in male groups all over America. But most of the retreats are expensive and seem to be limited to rich, privileged white men," Rodriguez said. "We want to present an alternative." Rodriguez pointed out that one goal is to move away from the "machismo" ideal. The director of the MSCD Counseling Center, Bobbi Vollmer, has been involved in women's issues for many years. She is pleased to see that male students now get a chance to organize. "It is absolutely needed. I've been following the development of the men 's movement, and a usual problem among men seems to be that they grow up without role models, except for Rambo," Vollmer said. The development within the men 's movement reminds her of the beginning years of the women 's movement. "Every movement goes through phases when there is a lot of anger involved," Vollmer said. "Right now, we can find hostility against women within some male

Collin Raye on trail to stardom with 'All I Can Be' Jenny Jenny Music Editor

Flashback: late '70s, early '80s {who knows?) John Travolta and Debra Winger star in a tale that will tug at your heartstrings: Urban Cowboy. All of a sudden, country music was hip and everybody was riding iron bulls. Well, guess what, Billy Joe Bob? Country music is ridin' high on the hog again thanks to the popularity of that down-home country lug, Garth Brooks. His Ropin' The Wind has remained steady in the top 10 of Billboard's Top 200 Album Chart since it debuted late last year. It even spawned a Garth Brooks variety show special. With success like that, there's bound to be a slew of imitators. So, Garth, hold onto your hat and make a run for it- there's a new kid in town. Collin Raye may not have the boyish good looks of Brooks, (in fact, he looks kind of like an oversized Ziggy), and not too many people are familiar with his persona just yet, but his music is making an impact, and he's hot on the trail to stardom. Raye's resonant, masculine voice and biting harmonies are the focal point of his music, prominently placed high in the center of the arrangements above sometimes lilting and mellow mixes and often fastpaced, two-step jams. Raye steps right up to the plate with his first major release, All I Can Be, making it

seem easy and natural to score a home run on the first pitch. His style is simplistic yet alluring, and promises to enrapture up-andcoming trend followers in their not-yetworn-incowboy boots and stiffly crisp straight-legs, as well as satisfying buckaroos off the range. All I Can Be is currently No. 59 on Billboard's Album Chart (according to JB&H Records) and climbing steadily, making Raye proof of all the amazing talent out there. I'd like to introduce you to Raye with If /Were You, a song whose description is a bit more visual than the rest. Picture it: Disneyland, when there was still those amazin' jamboree bears. An earnest, family-type crowd expectantly awaits those everLovin', musically inclined beasts of the wild. Now that nostalgia has you all misty, do you remember that distinctive, upbeat family-fun style? Well, Raye recaptures that feel and belts it out with a wallop of substance, combined with his sumptuous vocals in this last track on the disc, sending you away with a glow of warmth. On at least two tracks on the disc, Raye

shows hints of a Mariachi influence, with festive strings vibrantly lifting the melodies in the title track and 'ScuseMoi, My Heart, a cowpoke's plea to high-society women. ("Don't aJlow your social pride to keep our dreams apart/If you can't see this love in me then 'scuse moi, my heart.") The former kicks off the disc with mellow grooves in an upbeat mix that borders on a ballad with Raye's soothing vocals: "AJI I can be is a sweet memory that drifts through your mind." Raye cooks up some fine jams on All I Can Be, but his strength and magnetism lie in the ballads. Love, Me is sentimental prose about a young couple forced apart by her overbearing father. They secretly plan to elope, but when the young lad arrives, his lady is nowhere to be seen. Instead, a note is pinned to the tree. In the end, they get married, and the song takes place at the funeral of the wife, with the husband emotionally reciting from her note on the tree: "If you get there

before I do, don't give up on me/I'll meet you when my chores are through/I don't know bow long I'll be/But I'm not gonna let you down/Darling wait and see/And between now and then, 'til I see you again/I'll be loving you, Love, Me." The lyrics are beautifully brought to life through Raye's interpretation, marked by his wonderfully strong vocals, backed elegantly in a James Tayloresque sound. The song features only an acoustic guitar, later joined by keyboards and drums that create a fuller, captivating arrangement. Faithful Old Flame's sad, moody keyboards behind Raye's deep, passionate vocals come together perfectly in this country ballad. The unadorned arrangement is made up for in the aural placement of the instruments, providing a sense ofdepth and allowing the listener to be there as he sings: "Embers of love burn brighter than they did yesterday; you won't go away/I've tried my best to put you out but the spark remains/It's still the same, you're a faithful old flame." Faithful? Sounds like Old Yeller. Whether or not country-western is only a fad right now or if it's fmall y gaining muchdeserved respect remains to be seen. But without a doubt, All I Can Be proves that Collin Raye is a force to be reckoned with on the music scene. 0 CD provided courtesy ofJB&H Records and Tapes

major weight loss from starving herself. During Georgianna's discussion of her disorders she grasps her problems with a new understanding of the root of her anger. In another case, Helen, 83, has suffered from major depression since childhood. She tells Dahms that she has gone through electroshock therapy and other medical treatments to lessen the severity of her behavior. Helen says that she still experiences days of major depression, tears and thoughts of suicide. Other times, anger can take over and she cannot control her behavior. Helen reveals that she keeps a large bottle of sleeping pills hidden in her home - just in case she feels the need to end her life. She also hates to

friends. "This video is not a bunch of graduate students dramatizing mental disorders, these are real people that actually experience a disorder," Dahms said. "The subjects in the video are the educators." The video is one of the first educational videos for abnormal behavior available in the country and is distributed to different colleges throughout the United States. A marketing company, Focus International, is promoting the video foruse by a non-college audience also. Dahms pointed out that the purpose of this video is not to entertain, but to learn. Jeff Tureson, an MSCD student major-

ing in sociology and minoring in psychology, was a member of Dahms' Abnormal Psychology class last spring and watched the video in class. "Every other week in class Dr. Dahms would show a piece of the video when it related to what we were talking about," Tureson said. "Then, he would open up the rest of the class for discussion. Every one in the class took it seriously and there were different perspectives from everyone. More than anything they were in awe of these people's experiences and had instances of relatives who had these problems." Tureson said that Dahms and Scully would start the interview by asking a basic question, and if the subject didn't want to

discuss what was asked, they would go on. He added that he and other students agreed that this was an excellent teaching tool. "I think they (the doctors) realized that this was great information that you can't get from just a textbook," Tureson said. "This is real. When you see it and it's actually happening, and not from a movie, you take it seriously. Dr. Dahms also warned us before we watched the video that it could get graphic. They were really interesting people." Dahms and Scully are now working on a

book-Patients as Educators Casebookthat deals with case studies of people with abnormal behavior. Some of the subjects that were interviewed in their video will be 0 discussed in the text.

'Great Mouse Detective' uncovers entertainment Hero Montilla

Movie Critic Last night, I took my young cousin Hughie to his first lljlOvie. Ever. I was a little afraid that the evening would tum into a fiasco since he is only 2 1/2, but miraculously he sat through t~e whole film, which was a little more than~ hour long. We went and saw The Adventures of the Great Mouse Detective, recently re-released by Walt Disney Pictures. As evident from Hughie's delightful reaction, and mine, this animated feature is another example of classic Disney entertainment. Disney is presently experiencing a re-.._ naissance with the popularity of films such as The Little Mermaid (1989) and Beauty and the Beast (1991), which was just nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture. The Adventures of the Great Mouse Detective, made in 1986, marked a new era in sophisticated animation and artistry for Disney, partly due to the talents of John Musker and Ron Clements, who directed both this film and The little Mermaid. This film features the voice of Vincent Price as Profes or Ratigan, a scheming rat that has devis,ed a plan to rule all of mousedqm. Luckily, Basil of Baker Street (Barrie Ingham/ - otherwise known as the Great Mouse D tective - smells this rat and sets out wi°' his sidekick, Dr. Dawson (Val Bettin), to\ stop Ratigan. Basil and

feeds his enemies to his tremendously overweight kitty - it is not overtly violent, which is a refreshing break from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The new wave of more advanced animation is demonstrated in the film's climax, when Basil and Ratigan are trapped in the clock tower of Big Ben, simulating a multi-dimensional room full of cogs and gears. The scene is magnificent visually, and suspenseful enough to keep me, not to mention Hughie, on theedge of my seat. Frankly, I was hesitant to see this, being that I generally avoid G-rated movies. But I was honest!y entertained, and I don't think this experience will be too painful for parCqlyrVhl The Walt Disney Con..,any. Al righ1s lllSE!Ved. ents who bring the kids.

Two men pulling a train of blue plastic bins around campus are keeping Auraria on an environmental track. Ryan Murray and Jason Gerboth are the two student employees responsible for collecting aluminum cans and newsprint from the barrels located around campus as part of the new recycling project at Auraria. "It was established with a goal in mind to spread to urban Denver," Murray said. Gerboth and Murray handle the entire campus themselves. On a typical day, they'll start at one end and work to the other. Floor by floor, building by building, they empty the barrels. This may sound monotonous, but Gerboth said they meet a lot of people and get involved in interesting conversations. Once the bins are full, they take the bags to two large dumpsters · behind the Technology Building at Ninth Street and West Colfax A venue. The trash company then haulsthebagstoaprivaterecyclingcompany. The program, administered through AHEC, officially started in January. Maggie McConaghie, business manager at Auraria Facilities Management, said her department tried for more than 18 months to get the program started, but didn't have the funding or the people. A mini-recycling project started with the piling up of white paper in Auraria Campus offices, and CoPIRG volunteers collected it. McConaghie then worked with the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board (SACAB) on a proposal for a campuswide recycling program, which took

six months to get funding approved. ''The Metro State student government was also instrumental in pushing the project through for approval ," McConaghie said. AHEC estimates it will spend $24,000 a year on the program.

From the cheap seats: a one-man peanut gallery

Baseball looks to make pitch for NCAA playoffs Will Hinton Sports Editor

The MSCD baseball equation this season is a tricky one, but the sum of all the parts should equal the correct answer. If all goes right, the equation will read like this: Strong pitching plus strong hitting equals an end of the season visit to Montgomery, Ala., for the NCAA Division 0 Playoffs. But, if youth in certain areas and defense enter the equation as negatives, finals may be the only thing the Roadrunners have to worry about at the end of the semester. The 1992 squad is probably the most talented Co-Head Coach Bill Helman has had in his 14 years at MSCD. Along with Co-Head Coach Eric Larson, Helman will field a team that is intimidating at the plate and equally as impressive on the mound . Offensively, the athleticism of the lineup will provide the bats with all the necessary elements: average, power and speed. Leading off will be senior first baseman Rob Barringer, a player who hits for power but still makes a lot of contact. He may be the toughest out on the team. Barringer will be moving from left field to first to replace Jim Cluck, an all-region performer in 199 l. First base has traditionally been a cornerstone for MSCD, and Helman said Barringer is capable of carrying the torch.

shoulder surgery and his weakened arm has As a junior he hit .349 with five homers. "Barringer is as good as any of the guys forced him to move from the outfield to who have played there in the past," Helman second, but his swing remains intact. Like last year, the Roadrunners are deep said. Senior third baseman Tom Triska will at catcher. Senior Andy Dewett and junior start the year in the two-spot, but if he Pat McCloskey will hit fifth and seventh in doesn't cut down on his , - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - . strikeouts, junior center fielder Matt Santisteven will bring his speed into the order there. If the leadoff men get on, the meat of the order will bring them in. Moving from leadoff to the third spot will be the team's best all-around hitter, Brendon Peach. The senior right fielder used a team leading average (.438 , 10th in the nation) combined with power ( 12 home runs) and speed (17 stolen bases) to garner third-team AllAmerican honors in 1991. Hittingcleanupforthe 'Runners will be a guy who has cleared the bases Lauri Gragg-Totn1 I The Metropolitan more than any other Roadrunner.

Dewett from the left side and McCloskey sends one out of the friendly confines. Befus sat out last year after undergoing from the right give Helman a 1-2 power

Batting eighth will be Santisteven or Triska, and freshman shortstop Chan Mayber will round off the order in the nine hole. "Our hitting should be contending at the top (nationally)," Helman said. "We've really picked up our running game and the hit and run game." SeniorCliffRogers and sophomore Vince Lucero will see time as pinch runners. While the hitting will impress, it is the pitching that may take MSCD to Alabama. Last year Helman had to work without a pitching coach, so this year he made up for it by hiring two. Pat Smaldone came in and immediately won the respect of his staff and, with the help of student assistant Donnie Bjorhus, has the situation on the mound going in the right direction. "Smaldone's helped a lot," said senior pitcher John Bakovich. "He's a great motivator. Last year we would just throw pen and go shag. Now we have Smaldone working with us every day on every part of pitching." Last year Helman relied on a five-man starting rotation, but this year he hopes to go with four starters. The top three spots in the rotation are set and will be held by seniors Sean Patterson (4-2, 34 strikeouts*), Juan Ruiz (2-3, teamhigh 58 strikeouts and 55 1/3 innings*) and

Steve Blachly (5-4, 33 strikeouts*). Ruiz is the hardest thrower of the three but they can

all bring the heat. Blachly was the most consistent pitcher on the staff last year with a5.73 ERA*, followed by Patterson at6.25*. At the beginning of the season freshman Matt Nispel, one of two left-handers on the staff, and Bakovich will battle for the final spot in the rotation. Bakovich would probably have sewed up the position already had it not been for complications stemming from the removal of his tonsils over Christmas break. His experience and arm speed should win him the No. 4 spot, leaving Nispel as the top middle reliever. Also seeing time in middle relief, a spot now equally as important as starter and closer in the overall pitching picture, will be senior Paul Yarborough, who has been battling a sore shoulder, and redshirt freshman Rob Wiggins. If the starters and middlemen can take a lead into the late innings, the Roadrunners have three closers who can put an exclamation point on a victory. Sophomore Brian Hansen looks to have recovered from a bad elbow that kept him out in 1991. The hardest thrower in the pen, ''Nuke" is an imposing figure on the mound. Junior Gregg Browne throws slow for a person his size, but when he is on he hits his spots better than anyone on the team. Junior Eric Smith struggled in the fall, but if he can regain his old form he will round off a great bullpen. "Early on, and probably all year, our strength is going to be pitching," Helman said. 'They've worked so much harder this year and Smaldone and Donnie have done a great job." Helman said reliance on junior college transfers who were inexperienced at the Division II level hurt the team in 1991. "Last year we may have depended too much on juco transfers," Helman said. "The juco pitchers were nervous and we had a lack of balance between our young guys and the older pitchers." Now, Helman said the nervousness has changed into confidence sports

Catcher Andy Dewett provides MSCD with one of its main power sources at the plate. and experience. This year, Helman sees inexperience in another area. "We're deep in pitching, but we're not that deep in the field." Although he is playing freshmen at short and left, two key defensive positions, Helman has confidence in his defense. "We'll make some mistakes early on due to youth, but talent-wise they 're as good as we've had." He was especially high on Mayher. "Mayher is a pure shortstop, and you rarely get a pure shortstop." Burney said the fall season helped get rid of the freshmen butterflies and that being a first-year player is no big deal. 'The guys treat us like freshmen off the field freshman get this, freshman do this-but on the field they treat us as equals. We're in there because we're contributing." Helman said his goals for the team will all be on a game-by-game basis. He refuses to make long-term goals and predictions, but he is optimistic about what the the 'Runners can do if they overcome their youth and inexperience defensively and do the little things it takes to win consistently. "We're better prepared this year fundamentally," he said. "No predictions, but this team has the ability to go a long way." 0 * 1991 statistics.

In losing, the women dropped to fifth in the North Central Region rankings, evidence of the disgraceful way in which the voting process works.

Puli1zcr Prize-winning author Susan F:iludi uncovers a growing A~~Anman !rend that tries co convince women -Wxiut~ that their feelings of dissatisfaction and distress are the result of too much feminism and independence, a trend that undermines the minimal progress that women have made at work, in politics and in their own minds.

• Women's History & Ancient History This collection of essays studies the lives and ro les of women in ancient Greece and Rome, and in Judaism and early Chriscia niry. A recurring theme is the relationship between private and public. and many of the essays find that women's public: roles developed as a result of their private lives, specifica lly their family relationships. Sarah Pomeroy, ed., $13.95

• Subtitled Tbe Women's Movement in America Since 1960, Moving the Mountain gives a panoramic view of three decades of turmoil and progress, posing the questions. How could women's lives change so much in just 30 years? And why haven't they changed even more? Readers will learn what it's like to found a battered women's shelter; to challenge the medical establishment or confron t the media; to uy to get a bill through Congress. In the author's view, it was the grit and determination of literally thousands of activists that "moved the mountain." Finally, she shows why activists are still debating feminism's central questions: Do women simply want to share the power and privileges that men have - or do they want to transform society so that it renects women's values as well as (or instead of) men's? Flora Davis, $27.50

• The Habit of Suntitling Does being a black woman mean I have to save the world? The continuous dance of survival by black women in America exacts a high cost: habits that once promised salvation to self, family and community have become obstacles that prevent many black women from fulfilling their potential. From the examples of women born in che 30s, Kesho Scott has identified a challenge for the next generations - to synthesize new steps, go beyond old cultural prescriptions and invent a new plan of survival that shares responsibility, accepts joy and recognizes choice for all as the key to liberation.
