MSCD sanctions discrimination protest tuition per credit hour plan

New anti-discrimination policy exempts religious groups, ROTC from compliance Martin Rush Staff Writer

..-

llxly-flY8 MSCD students from the music department marshalled a protest March 4 In President Thomas Brewer's office. The il8ue was rn.r's tuition restructuring proposal mandating that tuition be paid on a.per credit hour

basis. The group said that Brewer's proposal would force full-time students to subsidize part-time students.

A new policy at MSCD forbidding discrimination based on sexual orientation has dismayed student government leaders because it doesn't include religious clubs or ROTC. The policy statement, issued Feb. 20 by MSCD President Thomas Brewer, "prohibits discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation in all college employment" and "in all student activities and organizations, with two narrow exceptions only." The exceptions for religious clubs and ROTC were made on constitutional grounds, according to Chris Citron, associate director of Legal Affairs for State Colleges of Colorado. "The state of constitutional law is such that we don 't believe we can interfere with people's sincerely held religious beliefs," Citron said. "Freedom of religion under the First Amendment guarantees religious groups the right to exclude people on the basis of their sexual orientation," she said, "whether we like it or not." Citron said case la\., supports the position that anti-discrimination rules cannot be extended to clubs and organizations with religious affiliations. ROTC, which operates under the auspices of the U.S. government, was not included in the new policy because of the constitutional separation of federal and state powers, according to a Feb. 12 letter from Brewer to MSCD Student Government President Chip Wiman. see Discrimination page 8

Former gang members share sorrows, hopes Barry Tobin Staff Writer He stood in front of the audience of 100 people who had come to discuss solutions to Denver's growing gang violence-violence that had snuffed the young lives of three friends last year. "My name is Jesse Chavez," he said. "I was a member of the West Side Inca Boys." He held a microphone in one hand and a picture of a gravesite in bis other hand. "This is my friend Damon," he said. "All he got for Christmas was pine cones on bis grave." Damon Murphy was shot near West High School last July 26, Chavez said.

"He died in the hospital 11 days later." Silence hung heavily in the room. He held up another gravesite photo. "This is my friend Joey," he said. "He got flowers on his grave for Christmas." When a bullet ended Joey's life, he and his girlfriend were expecting their second child, Chavez said. "Joey has two kids that he's never gonna see." There are 3,200 active gang members .in Denver, said Denver police Lt. Pete Garcia. "Not all gang members are juveniles," Garcia said. "Seventy percent are adults." Denver police Capt. Tom Sanchez said that many gang members are young women. Women gang members hold weapons and

carry the drugs for the

gang. "We have a limited numberoffemale officers on_the gang unit," he said. "I~ is a very difficult social problem for male officers to (search) women gang members." Sanchez said that the gang unit siezed 294 guns from gangsters last year. Many were siezed on school

Producer urges continued Civil Rights struggle Michelle Utley The Metropolitan Judy Richardson, associate producer of "Eyes on the Prize," a PBS documentary chronicling the Civil Rights movement, stressed the importance of individual advocacy in the struggle for equal rights in a speech at St. Cajetan's Feb. 27. ''The danger of not knowing that we are the people who made the movement is that we sit around and wait for another Dr. King ... and we may never have another one," Richardson said. The speech, titled Will the Circle Be Unbroken? Lessons from the Civil Rights Movement, was presented in honor of Black History Month in February and Women's History Month in March. "Eyes on the Prize" presents vivid images of African-American men and women engaged in the Civil Rights fight. It is a comprehensive look at the sit-ins and demonstrations that launched the movement. The documentary was originally planned to take a two-hour look at the subject, but instead ran as a 14-hour series. Richardson is familiar first-hand with the struggle that the movement encountered.

She was thrown in jail on several occasions as a result of her commitment. Richardson, who grew up in New York City, doesn't recall having any significant black professional role models - and she said that troubled her. "I remember that there were no black-owned businesses ...no doctors, no dentists. I never had a black teacher." Because of the lack of mentoring she feels many black youngsters experience, Richardson suggested that role models volunteer in the schools and donate their time to influence young lives. Pllr1dl Strlub I The Metropcllilan "Schools are not doing it Judy Richardson, associate producer of the PBS docu(educating children)-we 've mentary "Eyes on the Prize," spoke to about 200 people got to take up the slack," she Feb. 27 at St. Cajetan's. said.

SACAB recommends no Child Care Center rate increase in '92-93 Members of the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board considered then rejected-recommending a rate increase for the Auraria Child Care Center during their Feb. 27 meeting. The committee examined the Child Care Center' s budget, looking for possible cutbacks. Emerson Holliday, division director of Student Services for AHEC, discussed how maintaining the present rates would impact the center's bond fee subsidy. The center currently receives a subsidy of $387 ,000 from student bond fees, Holliday said. With rising child-care costs, either the rate or the subsidy would have to increase to maintain the present level of service, he said. SACAB is urging the Auraria Board to bold a referendum next month on increasing the bond fee to build a new child care facility. -

Tivoli architect decision goes to board The transformation of the Tivoli into Auraria 's new student union has moved one step closer to reality with the recommendation of an architect by the Tivoli Planning Committee. 路 The Denver firm Urban Design Group was selected from a field of five architectural companies, according to Dean Wolf, AHEC vice president of Operations. Wolf said Urban Design's past experience included the historic renovation of the Tramway Building and developing a master plan for the Tabor Center. The recommendation of Urban Design has been approved by the Auxiliary Services Committee of the Auraria Board, said JoAnn Soker, executive vice president of Administration for AHEC. The board will make the final decision on Urban Design at its March 9 meeting. -

Correction

The Metropolitan will gladly correct any errors published by the newspaper. To report an inaccuracy, please call 556-2507. In our Feb. 28 issue on page 3, due to an editing error the story about increasing student fees failed to mention that SACAB is an advisory board only. Its vote was to urge the Auraria Board to increase student fees in support of a new child care center. We regret the error.

The movement did that by always letting the white racist community know that violence would not stop them, she said. "If they took one of us, 10 would replace them." Another method Richardson advocated to promote change is the need for the nation to undergo a radical redistribution of economic power. She quoted Martin Luther King: "The curse of poverty has no justification in our age." Richardson was openly cynical when commenting that Lee Iacocca draws a salary of $4.3 million a year. "What can you do with that kind of money?" she asked. Richardson disapproved of tax practices during the Reagan years. She said that lower and lower-middle class citizens are bearing the tax burdens of the upper class. She said tax money could be more effeciently channeled to serve the good of America's average citizens. "Within the movement .. there was a sense that you were to leave the world in a better condition that when you came into it," she said. She said, she did not believe that the current distribution offederal money is serving that purpose. 0

Brown victory surprises experts

Voter concerns voiced in first Colorado primary Deanna Allen News Editor

Dissatisfaction won the largest share of votes in Colorado's first-ever presidential primary March 3. In the Democratic presidential primary, normally conservative-le;ming Colorado gave former California Gov. Jerry Brown his first win of the political season. Brown and his low-budget campaign targeted Colorado, spending more time in the state than any of the other candidates. All night long the lead shifted between Brown, Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton and former Sen. Paul Tsongas of Massachusetts. "People responded to our invitation to join the 'We the People' movement," Brown said to CNN Tuesday night. "Our commitment is strong and I want to thank the people of Colorado." Norman Provizer of the MSCD political science department said Brown's win in Colorado c6mplicates the primary process. "One win does not a candidate make," Provizer said. "The news out of Colorado is Jerry Brown. But Clinton has to be happy with his showing here also. "The further along you go in the process, someone should emerge as the leader. But with the given candidates, we could have a fragmented convention." No other Democratic candidate garnered enough votes to win a share of the state's 4 7 committed delegates to the national convention in July. Seven "super" delegates go to

the convention uncommitted. A Democratic candidate, or the non-committed slate, had to get 15 percent of the vote to qualify for a convention delegate.

"Buchanan is the best thing that has happened to the Democrats." - Norman Provizer In the Republican race, while President Bush won with 67 percent of the vote, conservative political commentator Patrick Buchanan pulled in 29 percent of the vote. The state's Republican establishment avidly supported the president. Colorado GOP chairman Bruce Benson even headed the re-election effort in the state. This angered local Buchanan supporters so much they held their own primary election returns party several blocks away from the Marriott hotel and the state GOP celebration. Provizer said that Buchanan bas done a berter job attacking the incumbent administration than any of the Democratic challengers. "Buchanan is the best thing that has happened to the Democrats," Provizer said. "But unless something dramatic happens, Bush has the nomination sewn up. It would be unusual for an incumbent to be denied his 0 party's nomination." For more information, see page 25, a pictorial record of Colorado's first presidential primary.

"Decisions take place within environments. It's these environments that need our attention." - Pat Fabiano

Colleges need to take a more holistic approach toward sexual health, Fabiano said. Health professionals can't expect to solve the AIDS epidemic by themselves. "Complex problems demand complex interactive solutions," Fabiano said. Strategies for increasing student input and involvement, such as focus groups, workshops and peer counselors were discussed by the teleconference panel. At Western Washington University, the fine arts department produced an art exhibit titled: "In Her Headspace." The exhibit explores the issues of AIDS, rape, female subordination and false images and expectations placed on women. Fabiano said the exhibit is an example of a college drawing on talents from throughout its community. After the teleconference, Billi Mavromatis, a health educator at the MSCD Student Health Center, said four students approached her with interest in becoming peer health counselors. Mavromatis said she hopes to meet with the interested students soon to explore the possibility of starting a peer health counseling program on the Auraria Campus. 0

Spring break survival kit stresses concientious fun

In the face of the AIDS epidemic, campus health educators have focused on providing information to individuals, said Dr. Richard P. Keeling, the director of student health at the University of Virginia. "We're very good at talking with students," Keeling said. "We're very good at providing information." Keeling moderated a live, interactive teleconference on sexual health in campus communities that was broadcast via satellite Feb. 25 to the Auraria Student Union. While most students are relatively wellinformed about AIDS and safe sex, Keeling said, they don' t necessarily practice safe sex. "Unfortunately," Keeling said, "what we know doesn't always equal what we do." Keeling said health educators must learn to view information as only one part of the decision-making process. "Up to this time, we have focused on individuals," said Pat Fabiano, a Western Washington University wellness consultant. "The assumption was that decisions came from within. But decisions take place withinenvironments.It'stheseenvironments that need our attention." Academic pressures, financial concerns, self-esteem, social norms and attitudes toward drinking are all components of the environment in which students make choices

about their sexual behavior, said Anne Lomax, assistant director of health education at the University of Delaware.

Martin Rush Staff Writer Auraria students heading out of town on spring break may want to pack an additional item for their vacation - a survival kit. Spring Break Survival Kits will be given away to Auraria students to help promote a safe and enjoyable spring break. The kits will contain a variety of pragmatic and educational items. One thousand kits will be given away from I 0 a.m. to 2 p.m. March 10 and 11 in front of the Student Union. Among the items in the kit will be a 32ounce sport bottle, a packet of suntan oil, three condoms, Band-Aids, a bookmark, a roll of Life Savers and three health-related pamphlets. The pamphlets, about AIDS, drug and alcohol awareness, and the dangers of sunbathing (called "Fry Now, Pay Later") were donated by the Student Health Center, one of the kit sponsors. "After studying all semester, we know students look forward to a week of fun during spring break," said Marti Long, - - MSCD student trustee- -

"We'd just like to see the same number of students that leave come back," Long said. All materials in the kit were donated either by businesses or the health center, according to Long. She said the only expense to students was $365 for the car trash bags which hold the kit. In addition to the health center, other sponsors of the Spring Break Survival Kit include MSCD Student Government, MSCD Student Activities, MSCD BACCHUS chapter, Health Issues Committee of Auraria Campus, Metro Alternative, Auraria Parking and Public Safety Division and Pepsi. Long, Billi Mavromatis of the health center and Jim Ferguson, AHEC Community Services director, were responsible for coordinating details. BACCHUS, a national organization that promotes alcohol-awareness among college students, will be handing out pledges not to drink and drive at the kit giveaway. Pledges will be entered into a national raffle for a 1992 Chrysler, which will be parked in front of the Student Union during giveaway days. Long is looking for volunteers to package the kits on March 6, 3 to 5 p.m. in the MSCD Student Government office, and to help distribute themonMarch 10 and 11. 0

APS arrests Child Care Center burglary suspects An Auraria Public Safety officer arrested two suspects Feb. 23 for investigation of burglary after responding to an alarm in the Auraria Child Care Center and finding the suspects inside the building. The officer said he arrived on the scene and found the back door ajar. He waited for the suspects to walk past him, ordered them to the floor and arrested them. The suspects entered the building by smashing a door-glass, police said. Names of the suspects were withheld because they were juveniles.

Police said there were no suspects and no witnesses.

A 19-year-oldMSCDstudenttoldAPS that her wallet was stolen Feb. 12 from her backpack in the game room at the Student Union. Police said the woman told them that she had put her backpack on the floor while she was playing pool. Her backpack was open and her wallet was visible inside the backpack, she said. When she picked up her backpack to leave, her wallet was missing, she told police. The wallet contained $5, credit cards, identification and an unendorsed check, the woman said. ·

Controversy not new

APS officers responded to reports of a man yelling at people as they walked past him and police later arrested the man when they learned that he was wanted on a Denver Police warrant. Police identified the man as Ronald Alexander Schneider, 31, of 2523 Curtis St., Denver. Schneider was wanted for failure to appear in court on charges of third-degree sexual assault. The incident occurred Feb. 13 at Ninth and Curtis Streets shortly after 11 a.m., police said. ~Barry

As an artist, Karen Martin has already seen her share of controversy. Her sculpttire, "Teddy Bear's Picnic," was the focus of several complaints last fall when it was displayed in the Arts building. The sculpture depicted a teddy bear eating another bear with several others waiting to be eaten on a TV-dinner tray. It was designed for a "bad art" assignment from Brian Dreith, MSCD art professor. Many people disliked the sculpture and asked the ru1 department to remove it. In falJ 1990, Larry Johnson, MSCD dean of Letters, Arts and Sciences, said in support of Martin's sculpture, "People express their feelings through their art." Even after support from the art department and Johnson's comments, the sculpture was taken down. Martin is an intern at the Metro Center for the Visual Arts at 1701 Wazee. She gives tours and learns to plan shows. "I'm creative," Martin said, "I like the thinking process and discovering process." Martin plans to teach art after graduation. "I'd like to teach kids to excel," she said. "I want to make a difference in some kids' lives - in an exploratory way."

Karen Martin Martin has a foll home life as well. She and her husband, Glenn, just adopted a foster child, Tiffany, 3, for whom they have cared since she was an infant. Martin also has two other daughters. " Carlie,11, volunteersforanursinghome and Janelle, 6, is a budding artist," Martin said. Martin's family, church activities and teaching, in that order, are the most important to her, and she is just glad that she'll be graduating soon so that she can devote more 0 time to them.

March is upon us and once again the Irish are coming to MSCD. From the land of the blarney stone and great orators comes the 13th Annual Friends of Irish Debate Series. Gary Holbrook, MSCD speech professor and coordinator of the Irish Debate series, explained that this year's debate will be an issue that both teams are "keenly aware of." Should the American press ex- Gary Holbrook ercise restraint in their investigations of the private lives of political candidates? is the topic. "We are in the presidential campaign again, so we're back into political investigation," he said, referring to issues like the current Bill Clinton scandal. Ireland is also going through political changes and political scandals about government leaders as well, which is the reason for this topic. The Irish team debated a similar topic related to power of the press during its national competition in Dublin Jan. 21. "The Irish team is really quite good this year," Holbrook said. The three Irish team members are: Pat O'Keefe, 22, a business major; Joanna Farrelly, 21, a marketing major and Cian Ferriter, 22, who is studying law. However, MSCD will be ready for them. For four weeks, the debate team has prepared for this debate, so the Irish are in for a real battle. They will challenge an MSCD team with a competitive attitude. Jeff Howard, an MSCD junior and communications major, competed in the debate last year. He is competing again because he said it was "a great experience." "The thing about them (the Irish team) is they think they know everything about everything," Howard said. "It was interesting because you never knew when to take them seriously." "At a luncheon, they said ' we want ev-

eryone to know, we're winning the battle of the wits,"' Howard said. "They always used to rib us. We had a lot of fun. "Come debate time, I think we can handle them." This will probably be Howard's last appearance in the debate series because he recently began a public relations internship for the Denver Broncos. He won't return to school until next spring and then only parttirne.

• Kari Vasby, an MSCD junior and speech major, explained why she wants to participate in this year's debate. "I look forward to the challenge of representing Metro State in such a prestigious event," she said. "Debating is in my blood," Vasby said. She has a high opinion of their opponents, "The Irish are highly skilled, as they should be."

"The thing about them (the Irish team) is they think they know everything about everything." - Jeff Howard Vasby won numerous tournament awards in about two years during national debate competitions for MSCD. She and Nick DePaulo won in the first novice tournament in which they competed and have met with success in their subsequent open competition, Vasby said. Nick DePaulo, an MSCD freshman, and philosophy major, debated in when he was in high school in a Lincoln-Douglas county debate. "I was first alternate both years," he said. "I enjoy the actual process of debate and I also believe the opportunity to engage with the Irish would enable me to experience another style of debate," DePaulo said. The Irish team arrived in Denver March 5. During the week before the debate, they will meet Gov. Romer and appear on several local talk shows. The debate will be at the Student Union in Room 330 at 1 p.m. on March 12. 0 See related story, Karl's Colun1n, on page 9 for a first-person account on team preparations.

be condoned, Drebenstedt said. Drebenstedt expressed support for Brewer's exclusiorr of religious clubs in MSCD 's anti-discrimination policy. He said that if student government leaders reject the policy, they are going against the Bill of Rights. ''They can't rewrite the Constitution," he said. "Thank God, we have that protection." Drebenstedt also pointed to what be felt was discrimination by the college against his club. He said Menorah Ministries had been denied funding on the basis of separation of church and state. "They've given us great grief down there," Drebenstedt said, referring to the Student Activities Office. The anti-discrimination policy got a failing grade from MSCD student Jody Andrade, a coordinator at the Gay and Lesbian Community Center of Colorado. "It's a total cop-out," Andrade said. Echoing Wiman' s assertion that students were paying to discriminate against themselves, Andrade said that according to accepted national statistics, IO percent of the MSCD student body is gay. Religious clubs have access to student fees through club funding, she said, calling the new policy hypocritical. She also pointed out that Denver had adopted a policy prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation. " I can get equal protection if I'm at the Burger King on Colfax," Andrade said. "But if I cross the street into Metro, I'm not protected." She also rejected the legal argument that case law would not support interfering with religious clubs on campus. The government has regulated religious behavior before, Andrade said. She cited cases where people were prosecuted for denying medical treatment to their children because it was against their religion. "Denying basic civil rights promotes an environment where hate and violence and gay-bashing are OK," Andrade said. A referendum on whether MSDC clubs should be allowed to access student fees while discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation will be on the ballot in April. 0

Wiman and others in the student government executive cabinet aren't buying it. "What this policy says is that it's OK to discriminate," Wiman said. He said that while he appreciates the steps MSCD has taken to protect the rights of its gay and lesbian students, be also feels Brewer didn 't go far enough. "Just because case law says it's OK to discriminate, doesn't make it right and just," Wiman said. "More administrators need the courage to move forward with these controversial issues." Wiman believes that because religious clubs have access to student fees and use campus facilities for their activities, they should not be exempted. In effect, students are paying to discriminate against themselves, according to Wiman. The MSCD Constitution, ratified by the student body, prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation in all student activities. Wiman said groups that discriminate should not be allowed on campus. He said he'd like to see a gay or lesbian infiltrate a religious club and ROTC to document any discrimination, and to use the information for the basis of a lawsuit. Some MSCD religious clubs accept gay and lesbian students as full members, while others do not. John Reed, facu lty adviser for Lutheran Students at Auraria, said his club does not discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation. He pointed out that Lutherans ordain gays and lesbians as ministers in the church. Seymour .Weinberg of the Bahai Club said his group also welcomes gays and lesbians, although the club focuses strongly on traditional family values. Rick Drebenstedt, minister of Menorah Ministries, said his group had no problem with gays and lesbians participating in club activities. But he drew the line at homosexuals becoming voting members. "When you talk about a member having a vote, you 're talking about control and the future of the organization," be said. He said his club views homosexuality a~ an unacceptable lifestyle before God. According to Scripture, it was not a lifestyle to

from page 1 grounds, he said. Rev. Leon Kelly, a community leader who heads a neighborhood program called Open Door Youth Gang Alternatives, told the audience that 28 kids lost their lives last year. "Eulogies are something I never get used to doing," Kelly said. "Yes, I am angry; and yes, I am bitter." He said the gang problem is too narrowly focused on minority gangs. "This isn't a Hispanic problem. This isn't a black problem. This is a people problem," Kelly said. "These are our young men and women who are dying." He said he tells young people who come to Open Door for help. "We can present you with options, but it is you who has to make the choice." Chavez made the choice, he said. Chavez and Steven Rivera, another former gang member, are active in GRASP,

a support group for those who want to leave the gang lifestyle. GRASP, Gang Rescue And Support Project, has a mission to educate youth and the community about the effects of gangs. "We didn't want our friends to have died in vain," Rivera said. GRASP has gained the support of area schools, said Regina Huerter, a volunteer from Denver Partners, a non-profit organization that matches an adult volunteer with a youth at risk. Huerter helps GRASP members with their presentations. She is also a willing listener. "The presentations often bring up a lot of pain and emotion for the (youths)," she said. "I help them work through some of that." Chavez said be has hopes for his future. " I'm fin ishing my GED, and getting my diploma this year," he said. And after that? "The Police Academy," he said. "I think I can make a difference working with gangs." 0

The winners of that tournament, a team and one individual speaker, travel to the United States to tour colleges and universities in the Colorado region, matching wits with the Yanks. I'm one of those Yanks accepting the challenge to argue with the top minds and mouths in Ireland before hundreds of my peers and a couple of television cameras. I'll admit, at first it was a bit daunting. Fortunately, I can rely on the experience of one of the other MSCD debaters, Jeff Howard, who participated in the series last year and matched wits with the best of them. Nick DePaulo, the third team member and (I'm convinced) the latest and greatest of MSCD freshman-class philosophers, will also be under the spotlight with me.

EDITORIAL

New anti-discrimination plan wrongs gay students Lawrence Jones Editor

The issue of civil rights has been a lengthy battle. Some feel it began during the '60s with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Others believe it started when women fought for the right to vote. The truth is that the battle for equal rights has been going on since human civilization began and will continue possibly forever. Homosexuals appear to be the newest gladiators in this arena of civil rights. As their community becomes more politically aware and prominent

we see social and legal changes taking place throughout America, but not here at Metropolitan State College of Denver. We cannot blame the heads of MSCD for not wanting to become a test case for the issue of gay and lesbian equality, but we can question just how far they are willing to go in the support of discrimination against homosexuals. It was reported in The Metropolitan last October that a new sexual orientation clause had been added to the antidiscrimination policy for campus clubs. An uproar resulted and the administration backed off to study the situation. Their answer: require all clubs to add the new sexual orientation clause, EXCEPT religious clubs and the R.O.T.C. They worded the statement to sound as if no one could discriminate other than these exceptions; tacitly granting the right to discriminate. That is shameful. The administration apparently be-

lieves that if a religious group views homosexuality as a sin, then they have no legal right to impose a rule requiring them to allow people they consider "sinners." The administration waves the flag of freedom of religion. Isn't it true that alongside that constitutional right of freedom of religion is also the mandate against an alliance of church and state? Why then does a state-funded institution, basically a branch of the government, 'aid in the funding of a religious club? Our student fees compare to our tax dollars. The federal government would never consider spending our money on any religious organization, why then are our student fees supporting religious organizations? Especially those who have been condoned to practice discrimination? An interesting question, one I'm sure that every gay or lesbian student who

pays student fees that are allocated to religious clubs on campus would love to have answered. As far as R.O.T.C. is considered, they are a extension of the military. The military has made their stand on homosexuality very clear. The generals don't want the possibility of "distractions" on the front line when one guy starts noticing the one next to him in a fox hole. Well, the number of pregnancies that resulted during the Persian Gulf War points out that our soldiers are getting a little distracted already having the women fight alongside. Wby then can't we have homosexuals fighting for a country that they love? Alexander the Great used homosexuals in his army and they were considered fierce in battle. In this battle for civil rights, for equal rights, it becomes obvious that the gay and lesbian community will be fighting just as fiercely for their own rights.

GUEST VIEWPOINTS

Attacks on Zionism wound the Jewish community Keith Allen Wilson's attack on Zionism and the Jewish people (Viewpoint, February 14, 1992) was twisted, offensive and morally repugnant. As I read his article, I was reminded of something holocaust survivor and Nobel Peace Prize winner Elie Wiesel once said, "This is not the first time the enemy has accused us (Jews) of his own crimes." Wilson attempts to define Zionism as racist when, in fact, his very accusation is in and of itself anti-Semitic. In respond ing to Wilson's article, it is critical not to use his terms of reference in which he uses language and ideas to manipulate issues and obfuscate the truth. He attempts to define Zionism, Judaism, Jews and anti-Semitism in ways that are narrow, simplistic, illogical and misconstrued. He writes with little regard for Jewish history and absolutely no understanding of the complexities of Judaism and Jewish identity. Zionism, contrary to Wilson 's distorted view, is in fact the Jewish people's freedom movement. It is as

just a cause as any liberation movement the world has ever witnessed. Zionism was the driving force behind the creation of Israel. It is the ideological foundation of the State of Israel. Zionism is to Israel what democracy and individual liberty are to the USA. To undermine Zionism, which is precisely what Wilson tries to do, is to bring into question Israel's very right to exist. It is this position that Wilson shares with most of the Arab world that is at the heart of the Arab-Israeli conflict. The Arab world's refusal to recognize Israel (with the exception of Egypt) as a very real, viable and permanent entity in the region has existed long before the Six Day War of 1967 and even prior ~o the refugee crisis. In 1976, during the poisonous atmosphere of the Cold War, the former Soviet Union, its East European satellites and its Arab patrons led a vicious crusade against Israel by passing that odious Resolution 3379 in the U.N. equating Zionism with racism. The U.N. had once again proven itself to be irrelevant and ineffec-

tive. With the death of the Soviet Union and the fall of communism in Eastern Europe, repeal of Resolution 3379 became possible. It should come as no surprise that the only countries that did not vote for its repeal came from the Arab world, some Muslim nations and a few communist holdouts. U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Lawrence Eagleburgerdescribed it best when he said, "Resolution 3379 was one of this body's most ungenerous acts. It branded the national aspirations of one people, and one people only, as illegitimate - a people which had been homeless, dispersed and exiled for the better part of two millennia. It labeled as racist the national aspirations of the one people more victimized by racism than any other." The birth of Israel is a miracle. Never before has a people revived itself as a nation after thousands of years of expulsion, persecution, pogroms and genocide. Davette Zinik, staff member of Auraria Library

Political Zionism perpetuates injustices to others Again it has become crystal clear that those who endorse political Zionism are more desperate reactionaries than I thought. As I anticipated, the criticism of my article was harsh and of course unjust. But in all honesty, I must admit that I was a bit surprised at the delayed response. Usually Zionist and Zionist organizations launch their personal attacks much, much sooner, like within a couple of hours, not weeks. This just proves my point once again that Zionism is a dying ideological force. There is an old adage that says, "If you can't convince, then confuse." The Zionists have mastered this idea and continue to confuse the issue of race and religion . Zionism is doomed, of this there is no doubt because people all over the world are gaining socialpolitical consciousness and will not tolerate injustice of any kind (including political Zionism). I was deeply hurt to be labeled an anti-Semite. But for those who would like to have a full understanding and make a conscious critique, please resort back to history and you will find that the religion of Judaism was not founded in Africa by Africans. We gave Judaism to the world and we can never take it back. To label me anti-Semitic is illogical and absurd. I see that my adversaries like to make compariS_?ns, so I too will make a couple of my own. It is ironic

to me how a people who practice the religion of Judaism, who have been oppressed and suppressed for so long, would actually turn around and inflict the same injustices upon others. (Namely Palestinians and blacks of South Africa.) Is this the lesson we are to learn as a human race: Two wrongs make a right? Of course, there are many people like Martin Luther King who encouraged alliances with Zionists without being fully informed. Others who saw through the tricknology of political Zionism were Albert Einstein and Sigmund Freud. I feel compelled to mention one outstanding scholar and professor currently teaching at MIT and that is Noam Chomsky, who is very much anti-Zionist. During the 1960s, the organization of SNCC (Student Non-violent Coordinating Committee) spoke out against Zionism and the treatment of innocent Palestinians by Israel. Needless to say, the organization was destroyed. Today, many leaders are speaking out against political Zionism and have been harshly attacked by Zionist groups. Some of these leaders are Minister Louis Farrakhan, Leonard Jefferies and Quame Ture. Please don't talk to me about alliances. A lie told often enough eventually becomes the truth, so the saying goes. Political Zionism as the new version of Nazism is a lie and with each coming day the

ideology withers a little more as support groups for the Palestinians and blacks of South Africa grow. Pretty soon we will be studying political Zionism in history books as what it was, how it lived and how it died. I must admit that I am a bit tired of this constant bickering in the paper and therefore see no need to continue it, but I will do this: I will issue a challenge. I suggest that we put this debate on the table and let the public decide for itself. And to make it a little more even, .we won't discuss the crimes against humanity committed by the Israeli government upon the Palestinians. We won't make mention of the fact that the government of South Africa has within its structure hundreds of card-carrying Zionists who hold positions of power and control to determine the fate of African and Arab lives. Lastly, I promise to withhold the numerous alliances between Israel and South Africa such as the South African Zionist Federation, the South African Jewish Board of Deputies or the Israel-South African Trade Association. These v.ron't be mentioned. But to encourage education and understanding, I feel compelled to at least make references to the volumes and volumes of books which clearly outline the relationships of the two settler colonies. Is this fair enough? Keith Allen Wilson, MSCD student

LETTERS Exclusive food contract at Tivoli not in student interest Editor, The food service consultant's recommendation to give an exclusive 10-year contract to a vendor is a bad idea. Your article on February 28 described the William Caruso & Associates recommendation that the Tivoli Planning Committee "should close the Tivoli's existing food court and consolidate food service under one contractor." Regardless of whether this applies to the Tivoli only or to the entire campus, it is a bad idea. Somebody apparently had the bright idea last summer to give an exclusive contract to Pepsi. Last year, we had both Coke and Pepsi vending machines on campus and the price for a can of pop was 60 cents. Now, we have fewer choices and the price is 65 cents. Not only do I prefer Coke, I have to pay an additional

8.3 percent for a Pepsi. I really don't believe these decisions are in the students' interests. Giving an exclusive contract to a vendor removes virtually all motivation to provide acceptable service to customers. Denver gave an exclusive contract to a cable TV company. Have promises gone unfulfilled? I think so. Are customers unhappy with service? I think so. Is there an alternative for cable TV? I think not. Competition is a hallmark of our economic system. Competition gives us choices and helps keep prices lower. Exclusive contracts to vendors all too often lead to lousy service, "nuts-to-the-customer" attitudes and higher prices. •· I recommend the Tivoli Planning Committee ignore Caruso's recommendation. We need more competition, not less. Jack H. Miller, MSCD student

Editorial cartoon not fair to Public Safety, Wiman says Editor, I am concerned about your recent editorial cartoon in "Thom's Corner." Over the three years that I have attended MSCD, Auraria Public Safety officers have always been kind, courteous and helpful. For example, Sunday night, after my family and I had attended a movie, an Auraria Police Officer helped us access our locked vehicle. I had forgotten and locked my keys inside, and the officer's courtesy saved us the cost of a locksmith and/or expensive cab fare home. If there is one Colorado police force that deserves

praise rather than criticism it would be the Auraria Public Safety department. They don't display the typical "macho" attitudes of other urban police departments, and have always acted responsibly and professionally. I would like to extend my personal apology to any Public Safety Officer who may have been offended by the cartoon, and I would urge them to find humor in it rather than take it too seriously. Chip Wiman, MSCD student government president

Volunteers key to Queen Latifah concert success Editor, The offices of CCD and MSCD Student Activities wish to thank all the volunteers for their hard work at the Queen Latifah concert. This concert's success could only have been accomplished through the efforts

THE METROPOLITAN

~~~~~~~: LETTERS

Men must listen to what is behind the anger of women instead of just reacting to it Editor, This letter is in response to "Kaspar, Male Feminist" (Feb. 28). I completely agree with the overall idea of diversity in gender studies. However, the letter brought up something that has infuriated me for a while: men whining and crying about "male bashing." The fact is, men have a distinct advantage in society simply because they were born male. Historically, men have wielded their power to dominate and control not only women but each other as well. Now men are angry because women have declared that they don't wantto be dominated or controlled. The anger that is being directed at

men in general is not without cause. Men do not take women's rights seriously. If you disagree, just take a look at the events of the past few months. A man accused of sexual harassment is appointed to the Supreme Court, a court that is now reviewing the constitutionality of Roe vs. Wade - a court that is supposed to represent the country has only one woman on the bench. Other examples include the women who have come forward with accusations of rape only to have the judicial process turned into a circus and their reputations used as fodder for tabloid gossip; all because the men they accused happened to be wealthy and powerful. I could go on to historical examples (ie.

the literary Canon), but that would be enough to fill a book. I think it is a sexist assumption to say that enrollment in a women 's studies course will automatically lower a man's "decent GPA." How many men have actually sat down and asked a woman why she is so angry at the male gender? I understand that these men who have abused, raped and generally traumatized so many women do not represent the entire male gender, but when women outnumber men in this country, it becomes a sizeable figure. As women, we are trying to break free from the stereotypes of the past and establish ourselves as individuals. This is a difficult task when so many women

have been programmed for marriage and childbearing. The angerthat quickly surfaces stems from women ignoring their own interests to make sure their husbands or boyfriends are happy. I am not anti-male. In fact, I know many men who wish they could help speed up the changes that need to be made. So guys, the next time a woman expresses anger at our male- dominated society, try and understand that the anger comes from feeling powerless and unable to change years of sexist attitudes. Listen to what's behind the anger instead of reacting to it, and you might not feel so persecuted.

Regarding your article of Feb. 21 , 1992, "AHEC fails to review allegations," I feel it is my duty to clarify the events leading up to your story (and tasteless cartoon) in order for these officials to get credit where credit is due. Prior to May 7, 1991 , unknown person(s) broke into the office (Room 255 D of the Student Union) and completely erased all files from the computer. Public Safety was called and due to other incidences occurring within the suite it was determined that an alarm should be installed. The alarm, set up under the computer, would be tripped when the keyboard was pulled out and a voice activated recording, "There is a burglary in progress in the Student Union Room 255," would go off. We were instructed to call Public Safety and notify them the momentthe alarm was set and also the time we would be leaving the office. On May 7, 1991, at approximately 4:30 p.m., the interim director of Student Life left her office to attend a meeting and instructed me to activate the alarm. I had never done this, and consequently I didn't engage the clip correctly. About

this tinie, the phone rang and therefore I wasn't able to notify Public Safety that the alarm was set. I wasn't through with the caller when I looked up and noticed the suite was full of officers and I knew the minute I heard the recording that I had done something wrong. (Please note, nowhere inthe recording was there mention of a gun.) The officers were not only quick to respond (to a false alarm no less) but were also very courteous and helpful in showing me what I had done wrong. No offense, Mr. Brodell, but it didn't take 1O minutes for officers to respond, I was here, I know, I was the embarrassed party. I only wish I had been in the office the day your reporter was gathering information for the story and honestly feel that an apology is in order not only to Public Safety officials, but also to JoAnn Soker and Jim Ferguson.

Mary Alice Perri, Office of Student Life *Editor's note: According to Auraria Public Safety dispatch records, officers responded to the alarm in question at 4:47 p.m. on May 7, 1992. As always, The Metropolitan stands behind the facts presented in our story.

College no place for "small" talk Editor, For the future reference of Name Withheld By Request (Letters, 2-14-92), this is the Metropolitan State COLLEGE. The junior high school is down the street. It's discouraging to read a letter to the editor of a college newspaper in which the writer is possessed of insufficient intellectual acumen to analyze and then address issues of more substance than another commentator's use of those bugaboo "Big Words!!!" We expect this of 14-year-olds. But when college students engage in such childishness, it's a particularly disgusting display of the abject ignorance in which too many Americans take personal pride. The ability to use and understand language is not, as such nameless, jugheaded misanthropes insist, a liability. It's an asset. If precise terminology (yes, NWBR, "vitupe ration" has a VERY precise meaning) is out of place in a college

newspaper, would NWBR find it to be acceptable anywhere? How about in a hospital emergency room? Or in a NASA control center? Better still, what about the college classroom? I dare say NWBR's revealingly envious derision of the mental abilities of others seems the more inappropriate practice. And reading (not unpredictably) that NWBR views composing with Mr. Roget's and Mr. Webster's venerable reference works close at hand as "trying to impress," I truly pity NWBR's professors, forced to wade through this individual's no doubt incomprehensibly witless term papers. No, Name Withheld By Request (an ethnically Gaelic name, I think), possession of a large and limber vocabulary doesn't necessarily suggest writing with a "thesaurus in one hand and a dictionary in the other." Sometimes, as in this case, it simply indicates the writer is smarter than you. Ignorance isn't worn well by anyone. J.M. Schell, MSCD student

"You're not supposed to pick your nose because your brains will fall out" is the advice that Mike gives his kid brother Bobby in Radio Flyer. It is the secret language of children that includes pinkie promises, clubhouses and anti-monster brews. Radio Flyer appeals to even the mature viewer by tactfully reconstructing the experiences paramount to the 10-and-under crowd, aptly shedding adult-like logic that seems to come on like a disease later in life. Radio Flyer is also a chilling chronicle of child abuse, and because the story is told through the eyes of a child, it couldn't be more candid.

METRO CONNECTIONS

Child Care Center combines fun, learning · Thomas M. Lell The Metropolitan One day this semester, a class from the Auraria Campus will attend a concert given by the Colorado Symphony Orchestra, after which the students, like music students everywhere, will return to class and discuss the program. Then they will have peanut butter cookies and orange juice and take a nap. Welcome to the fine arts aspect of teaching at the Auraria Child Care Center, where toddlers, preschoolers and kindergartners are exposed to a variety of cultural activities in addition to a regular school curriculum. On a winter afternoon, the center looks like any day care center - awash with children. On the outdoor playground youngsters run and holler and pedal tricycles. Inside, the younger ones have been roused from naps and are lining up for snacks. In all the tumult it is bard to imagine the same children sitting still for a concert or any other sedentary pursuit. But according to the staff at the center, they do. "I think th at a child's life is all about art," said Debby Jump, director of the center. "A child finds beauty everywhere. I think we

should encourage the way a child appreciates life instead of trying to educate it out of them." In addition to music of all types, children attending the center are exposed to drama, dance, writing and art. The Cleo Parker Robinson Dance Troupe performed on campus in February and some of the children went to watch. After participating in one of these events the children are encouraged to express their feelings about it. "The kids really liked the dancers," said Tina Roybal, supervising kindergarten teacher at the center, "So we spent a lot of time talking about the dancing and what it meant to them, and how it made them feel." The purpose of these discussions is twofold, according to Jump. "The follow-up activities help to extend the children's experience and to build their language skills. Kids can do something or enjoy something, but being able to put it into words is another skill entirely." Plays are popular at the center, with frequent in-house productions of well-known stories and impromptu stagings that encourage children to play different roles. Professional theater companies occasionally per-

Dear Counselor, I am a returning student. I am experiencing hell and then some. For example, I am spending more time on studying and less time with my spouse and friends. My kids are starting to act like they hate me and are anything but cooperative. Our dog has started to growl at me just as he does when strangers come around. I've been waking up on Sunday mornings, my day off, to go to work. My ability to concentrate is failing me at school, work, and home. People will be talking to me for a minute or so and I'm not aware of it. They have to ask me if I am hearing what they are saying. My co-workers keep telling me that I need a vacation. I could go on and on, but these are a few indications of j, whtaht_Ikamthext/X!rien~tingfinllmyf lheife. I m a , m spi e o a o t stress, ,, the biggest difficulty for me is the lack of support and understanding that I am getting from everyone. I realize that they are needing to make sacrifices also and that my coming back to school is creating changes in their lives as well. I feel that, if they keep demanding that I do the things that I use to, I may have to drop out. This would be devastating for me because the decision and commitment to return to school have been the best things I've done in many years. I haven't felt this good or so alive in a very long time. Unfortunately, I am being pulled from all directions and I need help! Nebulas

Debby Jump (center) loves working with children at the Child Care Center. form at the center and the older children make visits to theaters on and off campus. While encouraging children to analyze the feelings provoked by the different media, teachers at the center are q1.reful not to impose their own values on students. "We encourage them to be their own person in however they interpret a story, play or music," said Roybal. "We try not to make them see things the way that we see things." Children need expression to develop, Roybal said. "It's the process we 're after, not the product," Jump said. "We want to help them remember what they experienced and what they liked." Jim Coughlin, who teaches toddlers, sums up the teaching philosophy of the center: "The idea here is to stimulate." Cindy, whose son Nicholas attends preschool at the center, likes the idea that her son is being exposed to the arts at an early age. " It's a real good program," she said. "It's not just day care. It' s more of an educational experience. I like it and Nicholas likes it." Although exposure to the arts is but a part of the overall program taught at the center, that exposure plays an integral part in many other skills children learn. "In programs for kids, art is really everything that they do," Jump said. "Drama is the way that they live. Showing their emotions and playacting and taking on a role is the way that they play, and that's the way kids ' programs should be. That's what keeps learning fun." 0

JFK assasinated. The ultimate whodunit. It has been called the crime of the century, but for Frank Nation it 's simple who killed Kennedy. Nation, associate professor of history at MSCD, has been researching the JFK assassination for 15 years. Nation met Allen Lowenstein, former member of the House of Representatives, and talked of the assassination. That talk made him think about the killing of JFK. Nation then taught a political assassination class with MSCD professor Brooks Van Everen. Nation, considered to be the regions' authority on this subject, disagrees with Oliver Stone's movie JFK. Stone used artistic license to point to a CIA coverup and blame Clay Shaw for the killing of JFK. Shaw was found not guilty in the case. "The ev.idence is too weak to assign him to the killing of JFK," Nation said. Nation said Stone took all the possible evidence and rerouted it from the mob and pointed it in other directions. Nation said the trouble started with the Kennedys'determinationtowagewaragainst organized crime. "I want to be known as the man who broke the back of organized crime," Robert Kennedy once said "The real enemy in this country is not communism, it is organized crime," John F.

Frank Nation, MSCD history professor Kennedy said. Attorney General Robert Kennedy had great success in putting organized crime leaders in jail. An incriminating phone conversation between crime families, discussing the killing of JFK, was taped but never used as evidence by the FBI. Teamster Edward Grady Partin turned in state's evidence in 1962, one year before the assassination, to testify that Jimmy Hoffa wanted President Kennedy killed. This accusation appeared again in the Rocky Mountain News last month. The article said that Frank Ragano, an attorney for Hoffa, revealed that Hoffa had ordered him to tell two mafia hit-men that he wanted Kennedy killed. Ragano carried this message to New Or-

leans crime boss Carlos Marcello. Nation said that Marcello was one of the Kt:nnedys ' biggest enemies. Marcello was not a citizen of the United States and he consistently fought deportation. In 1961, Robert Kennedy deported Marcello to Guatemala. Marcello returned. The House Committee said there was a "probability of a conspiracy." Nation said that the FBI is the one government agency that is involved in the conspiracy. The Warren Commission relied on FBI reports to come to the conclusion that Oswald acted alone and no conspiracy existed. The FBI buried reports of mafia people threatening the life of the president. "Why didn't the Warren Commission get these reports?" Nation said. "They, the FBI, should have known that this was relevant." Hoover and the FBI admittedly covered up when they flushed a note from Lee Harvey Oswald down the toilet. "It's the crime of the century and you flush evidence down the toilet," Nation said. He doesn't believe that Oswald shot JFK. Nation believes the movieJFK is making people talk and open their eyes a little more. In 2029 the House files will be released, and the Warren Commission files will be released in 2038. Nation believes it will be a limited handout that won't get any closer to ID the truth.

One of MSCD's first battles cancer The familiar bellowing voice of the founder of MSCD's broadcasting department is nothing more than an echo this semester. W. Thomas Cook, 59, had to take at least part of the spring semester off after a test during a routine exam Oct. 29 revealed two tumors. The malignant tumors were successfully removed. Cook has had two operations since mid-December, and a third is probable to insure the cancer doesn't spread. . Cook has fought cancer before in 1981. "I thought I was doing great because back then the barometer was five years," Cook said. " But the stuff came back and now it's lower." "The first surgery (in January) was a piece of cake compared to the second one," he said. · Despite the setback, Cook remains upbeat, and appreciates people sending cards showing concern. "I guess I'm kind of a fighter- I'm not gonna roll over and play dead. If they get me, I guess it won't be without a fight." Cook was the sixth professor signed on at MSCD, and vividly recalls the school' s first year. The school opened in 1965, he said, and expected 300 students to enroll. Surprisingly, after a hectic first day of registering with pencil and paper (no telephone or com-

W. Thomas Cook puter registration back then), 1,189 people had registered. In 1968,CookhelpedinaugurateMSCD's broadcasting internship program, which nobody took seriously back then, he said, but which today offers 110 internships and is very well known. "I think it's every bit as good, (as other schools' programs) and it's probably the best in Colorado," Cook said. "So if you don't want to buy that, that's your problem." Two of his own children graduated from MSCD, and a third, Michael, is currently attending. The broadcasting program at MSCD has had severaJ successful graduates, including Jim Saccomano, director of media relations for the Denver Broncos, Mike Silva and Jim Nash, whom he recently saw on a CBS business show from New York. "The first time I ever met him, he was in

a stationery store down on 16th street," Cook said. "I went in there one day to buy some pencils." They struck up a conversation and Cook encouraged Nash to register at MSCD. Mike Silva, helicopter pilot at KCNC, Channel 4, is a different story. By the time he attended MSCD he was already the proud winner of several Emmy awards. "He came to class one day and I said, 'You really like to intimidate a guy, don't you?' Because he's sitting in th~ front row with those four Emmys sitting there." It's hard to imagine anyone intimidating Cook when he counts among his friends some of the biggest names in the broadcasting business. Several professors are taking over Cook's classes (many of which have never been taught by anyone else) until he can return. He hopes to be back this semester, and definitely doesn't want to miss commencement ceremonies May 17. "Believe it or not, I've never missed a graduation at Metro, including the first (June 1, 1969)," he said. "So I've never missed one, but I don't know about this one. We'll just have to wait and see." He also conveys his thanks to his students. "Somebody said that they told the students that I didn't want to hear from them or something. I don't know where they got that. That's not me- I've been too people0 oriented for too long."

MSCD music turns up the heat with '110 In The Shade' Lisa Pitts The Metropolitan In Room 27 l of the Arts building on the Auraria Campus it was "110 in the Shade." This phenomenon began Friday, Feb. 21, and will continue through Sunday, March 8. The MSCD music department, and the cast and crew of the play "1 10 in the Shade" (formerly ''The Rainmaker"), under the direction of Marilyn Hetzel, gave the heat and heartfelt desires of N. Richard Nash's characters life and vitality as they whirled, waltzed and polka'd their way through the two-act musical. The first act opens in the heat of one of the many never-ending days of the drought which has stricken the small town of Three Point. In this sweltering heat Lizzie Currys' farnil y gather to meet her train. Lizzie, played by Lisa Winkler, has been sent, much to her dismay, on a husband-hunting expedition in a neighboring town. Jimmy Curry, played with youthful enthusiasm by Ben Rollman, careens about town announcing the arrival of the train carrying bis sister. Her stem and serious brother Noah, played with bis thumbs hooked secureI y in his belt by Tim Salmans, relishes the return of his sisters cooking. Her sym-

pathetic yet worried father, H.C., played by Peter von Payons, looks forward to the return of his sweet daughter. It seems that Lizzie could not get into the husband-hunting frame-ofmind amidst her kin and has returned unwed. Feeling unattractive and plain, Lizzie lets her family talk her into a fix-up picnic with the town's most eligible bachelor the serious Sheriff File. File, played by Craig Rehnke, is descended upon by the Curry men with invitations of food, cards and drinking, but will not be enticed. File, a man with a "past," keeps Photo oourlesy of Iha MSCD Music DepaJ1menl himself apart from the Starbuck (Stacy Ayer, standing in center) mesmerises the festivities of the town town of Three Point in MSCD's "110 In The Shade." picnic.

Lizzie and Noah refuse to be taken in woman, Starbuck, played convincingly by by the charismatic Starbuck, who deftly Stacy Ayer, sets out to win the confidence of

Lizzie. Lizzie, feeling somewhat fed up with her serious nature, launches into a show-stopping description of the new Lizzie: raunchy, fluffly and flirty. File finds Lizzie after the picnic and apologizes for his absence. Together they come to the truth: File is not widowed, but a divorced man. File learns the lessons of foolish pride from Lizzie. In Act 2, Lizzie is given a few lessons on beauty and imagination by Starbuck who spins winsome tales. He finally_convinces Lizzie that she is beautiful. Meanwhile, Starbuck's reputation as a con artist has caught up with Sheriff File who confronts Lizzie's family with the news. No one is very surprised at the development, but they will not betray the whereabouts of the rainmaker. The climax holds some enjoyable surprises for Lizzie and the parched inhabitants of Three Point. The play and players leave the audience with a satisfied and happy ending. Director Marilyn Hetzel is a three-year veteran of the theater program at MSCD. Her skills and experience with the small theater are evident in this production as the audience close proximity to the stage does not crowd the production. 0

Play puts apartheid in spotlight Philippe Marquis Staff Writer

It's unlikely that UCD's latest production, Born in the Republic of South Africa, will leave you without an opinion. This highly political yet humanized play is bound to strike a chord for anyone zealous enough to take on this unorthodox production. The show tackles the problems of apartheid in South Africa in a no-holds-barred fashion, opening with monologues from each of the principals. It then barrels forward as the audience becomes acquainted with the underground resistance fighting the oppressive white minority through the distribution of anti-apartheid literature. Meanwhile, the rebellion is infiltrated by a memberof the secret police, Glen Donahue

(Chistofer Lix), as he woos a white member of the resistance, Susan Lang (Ninni Helldein), into unwittingly providing him with knowledge of the rebellion. The resistance is finally killed and the leader, Thenjiwe Bona (Elly Knight Braun), is captured. The show culminates when the young Dumisan (lrrnan Jamaal Jones) is arrested and tortured to death because of his connection with the resistance. The show ends with the discovery of Dumisan's death and a touching funeral march by his uncle, Zach. Born in the RSA is a powerful, sometimes preachy political piece with a strong message; and many of the actors rise to the occasion. However, some fall short of the potency possible from this show. A cameo appearance by Cordelia Whitaker momentarily lights the stage with

an African dance that snaps the audience to attention. Braun uses her powerful stage presence to dominate the stage and Taylor is passionate and powerful in her portrayal of a white lawyer sympathetic to the rebellion.

MSCD prof from.'down under' ends up mile high Sylvia Lei Editorial Assistant

Graham Walker stands in front of a map of Paris, points to the Ile de la Cite and tries to pronounce "France" the American way. Walker, a geography professor from Australia, may have a noticeable accent, but that is the only thing that fits the "Aussie" stereotype - although Walker does build boomerangs. That, however, be learned in America. He first came to the United States in 1972 to teach at the University oflowa for a year. At that time, Walker was still an assistant professor at the University of New England, Australia. He used his "sabbatical," his year off after six years of teaching, to pursue professional and private interests in the United States. In his professional field, Walker is mainly interested in the geological aspects of geography. And as a geologist, Walker said, "you can't help doing things about America." So, 20 years ago Walker and his family boarded a ship in Sydney to come to the country he knew only from the silver screen. After weeks on the ocean, the Walkers landed in New York harbor, greeted by the Statue of Liberty like so many immigrants from Europe before them, Walker said. "The ship came up with the sun rising in the east, reflecting in the windows of the skyscrapers... It was a very moving mo-

ment," he said. After his year at the University of Iowa was over, Walker returned to Australia, waited for his next sabbatical and came back to America, this time to Denver. Walker chose this part of the country because he wanted to write his dissertation about the High Plains at the University of Colorado at Denver. Walker's interest Graham Walker in geology was not sparked in school, where geography and history did not play a major role in the cl.lrriculum. Walker, however, thought be wanted to become a journalist, and for this purpose found it necessary to study those subjects later at the University of Adelaide in Australia. • Geography at an Australian university is taught "pretty much like they teach it everywhere," Walker said. There is no overwhelming emphasis on Australia itself. Later, Walker abandoned his journalism plans in favor of teaching, because he said there are always people who are interested in things.

"What's great about geography is, it deals with the stuff you see when you walk outside," Walker said. "For example, you see clouds, and if you did physical geography you know where they come from. You can go anywhere, and everything you see makes sense to you." Often, Walker climbs in his car to drive out to "nowhere" to discover "new territory." One reason is to try out his boomerangs. Walker discovered this hobby in Denver in 1985. "I thought, gee, you are from Australia and you have never thrown a boomerang in your entire life," Walker said. Then he ordered a boomerang. It came with instructions and Walker decided to make one himself. He also joined the U.S. Boomerang Association. Now he is an expert who teaches boomerang classes at Colorado Free University in the summer. Not all boomerangs are supposed to come back, Walker said. The boomerangs the Aborigines use for hunting are too heavy to

return to the thrower. Returning boomerangs have always merely served as toys, he said. Besides boomerangs, Walker dedicates a share of his spare time to music. His musical taste ranges from Rossini operas to jazz and contemporary South African music. Walker's other hobbies include growing orchids and poetry. However, he had to give up the exotic flowers. They do not like the ambience of his apartment which is heated by gas - they shrivel.Walker's poetry, on the other hand, is blossoming. "I am a respectably published poet in Australia," Walker said. His work has appeared in several literary journals. The poems reflect Walker's background in geography; they mainly deal with the environment. All of Walker's verses are rhymed or part-rhymed. "I like the sound of it, the musicality ...And without rhyming, it would be too easy," Walker said. It seems Walker will practice his hobbies in the United States on a permanent basis. After he had finished his dissertation at UCD, Walker went back to Australia once again - but only to permanently return to Denver in 1985. Walker seems to have discovered his final frontier in Colorado. Since 1989 he has been teaching at MSCD. This semester, he teaches Human Geography and Physical Geography. 0

Tai Chi Club exercises mind, body and soul Sylvia Lei Editorial Assistant

::...

·~

,r _

Tai Chi is a Chinese art that looks like a dance and can teach self-defense, resistance to stress and the ability to focus the mind. But Tai Chi's most important benefit is health, said Laina Jordan, founder of the Tai Chi Club on the Auraria Campus. Tai Chi can improve health by keeping the body 's energy production on an even level, Jordan said, comparing Tai Chi with acupuncture: "Acupuncture is like a jump-start. Tai Chi is like the alternator that keeps the battery charged up." Tai Chi is related to yoga and was brought from China by an Indian yogi, Bodhidharma. The Chinese, however, were not very impressed by Bodhidharma and his discipline. So Bodhidharma sat stoically in front of a cliff for years and years until his powerful gaze had carved a cave into the rock - so goes the legend. The first Chinese to study yoga were priests. But they regularly fell asleep during their meditation. Therefore, they developed yoga into a moving meditation: Tai Chi. In feudal China, the priests served as soldiers as well. So Tai Chi also evolved into a form of self-defense. Indeed, a lot of people ask if Tai Chi is a martial art, Jordan said. The question if Tai Chi is more self-defense, dance or meditation depends on a person's mind, Jordan said. She drew an analogy with language: "You have all the words in your vocabulary available either for a conversation or an argument. In the same way you have the movements of your body either for a dance or for self-defense." Jordan, a holistic health major at MSCD, is basically interested in Tai Chi's health benefits. Ever since she has been studying health, she has been interested in Tai Chi, Jordan

said. A Tai Chi class was offered during her first semester at MSCD, but then never again, Jordan said. So in spring I 990, Jordan decided to start a Tai Chi club on campus. Jordan managed to fulfill the requirements necessary to establish a club. She found five club members and a faculty adviser. However, she had no teacher. Therefore, in fall 1990, the Tai Chi Club started without an instructor. Most Tai Chi teachers Jordan approached wanted at least 10 students. On the other hand, Jordan said, no more than five or six people would show up without an instructor. The club members shared their own knowledge until Kay Kutch offered to teach them. Kutch, a former MSCD student, had tried to found a Tai Chi club after her graduation, but could not do it because she was not a student anymore. Now Kutch is teaching about six regular students. New students are always welcome, Jordan said. They can start anytime. Usually, all students start out with the same exercises. Then Kutch divides the more and the less advanced into different groups. At the end of the lesson, the groups rejoin and finish together. Each student pays the teacher individually. A lesson is $3, the maximum per month (about IO lessons) does not exceed $20. Or, you can trade with Kutch, Jordan said. She used to bake bread for Kutch instead of paying her money. Since students themselves pay the teacher, Jordan said, "We are not an eating-up-yourstudent-fees club." All MSCD has to provide for the Tai Chi Club is some paper for copies and the space, which is scheduled after all the other classes, Jordan said. The Tai Chi Club meets from noon to 1 p.m. every Monday, Wednesday and Friday in the Auraria Events Center, Room 215. For more information, call Laina at 3997392 or Jan at 556-2552. 0

The vocals (Hiatt) are so banal, this track would almost seem to be a joke: "If you bug me at work/I can't get it done/Too tired, baby/To have any fun." Describing Little Village' s music in Musician magazine, Hiatt said, "It's the kind of music that you feel so good about when it happens, that you don' t want to muck it up."

From the cheap seats: a one-man peanut gallery

Regional politics burn women's hoops hopes . . Will Hinton ...... Sports Editor

______

....__

We are the champions, my friend . Singer Freddy Mercury may have died a few months back, but his legacy continues right here at MSCD. Mercury wrote and sang We are the Champions, We Will Rock You and Another One Bites the Dust, all of which could be used as theme songs for Roadrunner women's basketball this year. However, Great Balls of Fire may be a better theme song, because the regional voters have been burning MSCD all year. The women finished the greatest season in school history Feb. 29 by beating Southern Colorado and clinching the program' s firstever conference title. The women's championship and 24-3 record may be spoiled, though, by the imbecilic voters and Tammany Hall-type politics in the North Central Region. The 'Runners are currently ranked fifth in the region, despite having the third-best record. MSCD also shares a three-way tie for the most wins with North Dakota State and Augustana. Even though MSCD has had one of the better records in the nation, didn't lose its first CAC game until late February, and defeated the No. 4 team in the nation (West Texas) on New Year's Eve, the team did not enter the top-four in the region until Feb. 13. The 'Runners broke in with a tie for the No. 4 spot with South Dakota

State. The following week, SDSU lost at home and dropped to a barely respectable (for a ranked team) record of 15-7.MSCDdefeated CAC rival Universtiy of Denver at the DU Field House to improve to 20-2 on the year and 10-0 in the conference. The rankings were scrambled, right? Not even close, bud. MSCD and SDSU remained tied, and DU kept its No. 7 ranking. The following week, MSCD finally lost and fell back to No. 5. The obvious way politics, and not the play on the court, decides the rankings is a disgrace. All those dalmations in the Walt Disney classic had fewer black marks on their bodies than the NCAA does on its regjonal voting process. However, this Roadrunner roast should come as no surprise. DU Head Coach Tracey Sheehan and SDSU's Nancy Nieber are two of the three regional voters. Wyle E. Coyote couldn't catch the Roadrunner, but Sheehan and Niebercaughtit,cheweditupandspititout. Regis Associate Athletic Director Barb Schroeder is also to blame. With the third vote in the regional rankings, she could have gone a long way in upsetting the applecart, but instead she was a worm who chewed a hole through MSCD's core. Sheehan and Schroeder have been heard to say the CAC is a legitimate conference and deserves to be in the NCAAs, but they won 't even promote the best team in the

conference? With hypocritical tendencies like those, these two are prime candidates for top jobs at the NCAA headquarters in Kansas City. Maybe they can vote themselves in. They will argue that the Great Northwest Conference is a far superior conference and MSCD is not good enough and plays too weak a schedule to be in the top-four. OK, then along those lines they must also be admitting that their programs are mediocre at best and have no place in the same division as North Dakota State, the No. l team in the nation. Sheehan must also be admitting that she is a less-than-talented coach since her team was picked as a preseason favorite in the CAC. If they can't beat a fluke team like MSCD in a weak conference like the CAC, then how good a coach can she be? Hey, this isn't me talking. Sheehan is saying this herself through her voting. In the newest poll, out March 2, MSCD remained at No. 5. SDSU lost again and even Sheehan, Schroeder and Nieber had to admit they didn't belong in the top five, dropping SDSU to No. 6. However, in a game of leapfrog, Nebraska-Omaha jumped from No. 6 to No. 5 to No. 4 over a two-week time period. This is a team that had a 19-7 record at the time and hasn ' t been a visitor to the top four all year. Why are they there now? Because the voters don't like MSCD, plain and simple. How else do you explain such biased voting? ThiswastobeSheehan'syear,and

when MSCD and Darryl Smith stole her glory, the wicked witches of the NorthCentral apparently decided if she couldn't have it, no one else would. There are enough sour grapes here to fill a keg with vinegar wine. Next week, when the regional bids are handed out, if MSCD doesn't get an invitation, you can thank Sheehan and Schroeder. Whether they like it or not, we ARE the champions, and they should recognize us as such. With Omaha's 17-point loss to West Texas at home March 3, MSCD should be the logical lock for the final No. 4 ranking, but logic has nothing to do with the way these oeoole vote. 0

Men win CAC title

Win over USC earns second straight title; victory brings CAC hoop tourney to MSCD Torin Berge Denver Post Sports Writer

The MSCD Office of Student Publications is now interviewing for the following positions:

The MSCD Roadrunners got revenge on Southern Colorado Feb. 29 by winning the Colorado Athletic Conference championship at Massari Arena in Pueblo. The Roadrunners held Southern Colorado scoreless for almost the last eight minutes and defeated the Indians 75-63 in front of a CAC-record crowd of 4,437. The victory avenged an earlier two-point loss to Southern Colorado and gave MSCD its second CAC title in the league's two years of existence. It also was the Roadrunners' third consecutive league title (they won the Great Northwest Conference in the 1989-90 season). ''To win a second consecutive title is great," said MSCD senior Ralph Rivers , who led the Roadrunners with 23 points, including eight in a 14-0 run. "And for a senior it puts an exclamation point on it." MSCD (16-11, 10-2) now will host the CAC tournament March 5 and 6 at the

Auraria Events Center. "The kids never said die the whole year," said MSCD coach Bob Hull, whose team was 5-10 at one time. "A lot of teams would have rolled over, but our senior leadership took over and kept that from happening." Southern Colorado ( 19-8, 9-3) took a 6158 lead with 8:25 remaining on a basket by Anthony Sykes. _But that would be all the Indians would score until a basket with 26 seconds remaining. By the time the basket was scored the Roadrunners had a 72-63 lead. "We knew it was crunch time," Rivers said, "and it was time to get it. We prevented them from taking good shots and from getting any rebounds." Southern Colorado looked in control early, leading by IO (32-22 with 7:40 left in · the half). But MSCD, led by Darin Dahl, who hit all three 3-point attempts and scored 11 points in the first half, stayed in the game and trailed 43-38 at halftime. Dahl provided a big spark off the bench scoring 14 points. Torin Berge is a former MSCD AllAmerican baseball player and currently writes for The Denver Post. 0

Baseball splits pair of double-dips Will Hinton Mike Robuck The Metropolitan

-' -

The MSCD baseball team continued an inauspicious start to the 1992 season by splitting a pair of doubleheaders against the University of Denver Feb. 29 and Division ill Colorado College March l. The Roadrunners looked like the powerful team they are touted to be in the first game at DU's Pioneer Park, as they pounded the Pioneers 12-1 in six innings by the 10-run rule. MSCD 's Rob Barringer started the onslaught with a ground-rule double in the game's first at bat, and then two batters later Brendon Peach sent one over the right field power ally to give the 'Runners a 2-0 lead. In the fifth inning, catcher Andy Dewett hit a towering three-run shot that gave MSCD a 6-0 lead and had DU looking forward to the second game. Roarunner hurler Steve Blachly was almost untouchable as he earned the win (1 -0) with four innings of shutout ball. Reliever Paul Yarborough turned in his second straight strong performance to close things out for MSCD on the mound: Jason Albrecht took the loss for DU. In the second game, DU gave the 'Runners a taste of their own poison, jumping on freshman starter Matt Nispel early and building an insurmountable lead. Nispel (01) was simply overmatched, lasting only one and two-thirds innings in his first appearance in an MSCD uniform. The most damaging Pioneer at-bat came

in the opening inning when Chad Sturtevant hit one over the left field wall with two men on to give DU a lead that it would not relinquish. MSCD's Brian Hansen relieved Nispel masterfully, allowing one run in four and one-third innings, but his squad still went down 9-6. DU's Grant Mudd got the win. Peach and Dewett both had monster days. Peach was perfect, going 6-for-6 with six stolen bases and six runs scored. Dewett kept pace, knocking in six runs while going 6-for-7 at the plate. The second day of the 'Runners doubleshot weekend was split against the Colorado College Tigers. MSCD dropped the first game 7 -3 against Tiger pitcher Lee Vierling. Sean Patterson (0-1) lost his first game of the season for MSCD. "We won, but we won ugly in the second game," said MSCDcoach Bill Helman. "This is a team we should have swept. We just left too many guys on the bases in the first game and couldn't get them in." The 'Runners had hard-throwing Juan Ruiz on the mound for the second game. MSCD scored one run in the first inning when Matt Santisteven advanced on a wild throw to third, and freshman Chan Mayber laid a bunt down the third-base line to score Pat McCloskey in the bottom of the fourth. Ruiz (1-1) overpowered CC with his pitching, but his throwing cost him a shutout. In the fifth inning, CC's Dave May singled, and Ruiz walked Josh Vitt. The Tigers' Rob Toole bvnted and Ruiz overthrew first base. The error tied the game, and a double scored another run for CC. Santisteven started the fifth for the

'Runners with a blistering grounder to shortstop Toole, who let the ball bounce hard off his chest. By the time CC's centerfielder tracked the balldown,Santistevenwas standing on second. Santisteven proved he is one of MSCD's fastest players when he scored on a passed ball from second base to tie the score at 3-3. Rusty Befus hit a stand-up triple over the Tigers' right fielder and scored on a Dewett single . The Tigers failed to score in their half of the sixth and fell apart when the ' Runners came to bat. 1..1uraGrego-T-1TheMelropalilan MSCD's Tom Triska Reliever Eric Smith threw in both games against CC.
