Hispanics confront Brewer Community organizations accuse Brewer of being out of touch with Hispanics Joe Chopyak Ken Schwartz The Metropolitan

(From left) Pierre Jimenez, Joe Herrera and Thomas Gomez held a press conference March 6 after meeting with MSCD President Thomas Brewer. They criticized Brewer's ability to recruit and retain Hispanic faculty and students.

Claiming the MSCD administration discriminates against their community, a coalition of Hispanic groups met with MSCD President Thomas Brewer in a fiery session March 6, but came out of the meeting feeling that no progress had been made. The group presented a litany of charges against the school, including a claim that the administration bypassed a Hispanic who was ranked first for the vice president of Academic Affairs position, hiring instead the candidate who was ranked fourth. Brewer denounced allegations that he intentionally snubs minority applicants for faculty and staff positions. "In my opinion, they 've received some misinformation," Brewer said March 6 in a telephone interview with The Metropolitan. The group cited figures from a 1991 report by the Colorado Commission on Higher Education stating that since 1988, administrations at the Community College of Denver and the University of Colorado at Denver increased their number of Hispanic employees 126 percent and 95 percent respectively, while the MSCD figures were up just 8 percent. see Brewer page 6

Service proposal , awaits Brewer letter

THE METROPOLITAN

The MSCD Faculty Senate continued discussion of a community service requirement, proposed by President Thomas Brewer, in its March 4 meeting. The proposal would require all new students to complete 200 hours of community service before receiving their degrees. A Faculty Senate vote is pending the delivery of a position paper from Brewer, in which he intends to explain his opinion about the requirement. Following the vote, a recommendation will be made to the president's office.

SACAB rethinks child care rates Reversing its position from the week before, the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board voted March 5 to recommend a rate increase at Auraria's Child Care Center. The 3 percent increase would take effect only if students pass a referendum to build a second child care center on campus, according to the SACAB recommendation. TheAuraria Board will decide March 16 whether to allow the referendum to go to the students. According to Emerson Holliday, division director of Student Services, the board does not want to increase the subsidy for child care, currently $387 ,000. The money, which comes out of the student bond fee, is used for operating and maintaining the child care facility. "What the board is saying to us is that you can build all the child care centers you want," Holliday said, "but you can' t increase the subsidy to do it." SACAB explored various options to increase revenues and cut costs for child care in an attempt to meet the Auraria Board's apparent goal.

NEWS

Items missing after 'attempted burglary' Barry Tobin Staff Writer An Auraria Public Safety report stated there was an attempted burglary in MSCD President Thomas Brewer' s office the weekend of Feb. 28. However, a source at the office said that it was more than an attempt. A window was shattered and a computer monitor and wall clock were missing from the office, the source said. "I don't understand why anyone would want to take that clock," said Charles M. Dobbs, assistant to Brewer. "It wasn't that valuable, but the computer monitor was probably worth $400 to $500." 'The broken window was adjacent to the door knob making it possible to reach through the opening and open the door from the inside," the APS report stated. The Faculty Senate office, near Brewer's office, was burglarized at the same time, Dobbs said March 2. "We are missing an answering machine, and all of our computers were unplugged," said Liz Friot, Faculty Senate president.

APS refused to release the Faculty Senate burglary report to The Metropolitan March 6. "The incident is still under investigation," said Jim Ferguson, APS public information officer Marc~ 5. "The report should be available next week." However, a story in the Rocky Mountain News that same day reported that 30 computer tapes were also missing from the Faculty Senate office. Rocky MountainNews reporter Tillie Fong told The Metropolitan that she obtained the information from records on file with Denver police. Friot confirmed the News' account and said that the discs were backup data from the computer hard drive. Fong also reported that a color TV and VCR were gone from Brewer's office. "Burglary and theft are crimes of opportunity," Ferguson said. "Faculty and staff should lock their doors when they leave their offices -even during the daytime." Ferguson also cautioned staff against propping open outside doors. "It's too easy to forget to go back and

close them later," he said.

Thefts on the rise Campus thefts from Feb. 27 through March 1 added up to $2,973 in lost property. The most costly theftoccurredFeb. 27 in Parking Lot S. One victim told APS that thieves stole bis briefcase filled with documents valued at $800. In addition to the documents, the man said be lost a camera valued at $500, clothing valued at $500, two expensive ballpoint pens valued at $100 and other items. APS said thieves entered the cars by breaking rear windows. Thieves raided an MSCD student's backpack that was left unattended in the parking garage Feb. 27, taking her art supplies. The student estimated the loss at $25. Another costly incident occurred in the Auraria Events Center March 1. Thieves grabbed the belongings of three Air Force Academy cadets who had come to play volleyball. APS said there are no witnesses or sus-

pects. The losses are estimated at $738.

Luncheon kicks off Irish Debate series Lawrence Jones The Metropolitan A bit of the blarney was exchanged, as well as honors, when MSCD hosted a luncheon for the Irish debate team. Cian Ferriter, of the University College of Dublin, presented MSCD President Thomas Brewer with a gift of a crystal plaque from the president of Dublin College. Gary Holbrook was also honored with a crystal plaque for his work in organizing the debates over the past thirteen years. "He (Holbrook) is very respected in Ireland for his work," Ferriter said. Sus_a n Josepher, Art Department chair, was also honored by Holbrook for her contributions and efforts for the Irish Debate series. Ferriter said that this was his first trip to America and he was happy for the chance to learn more about Americans and their culture. The debate was at the Student Union in Room 330 at 1 p.m. on March 12. 0

Volunteers sought for '92 'Serv-a-thon' Pete Lewis The Metropolitan On April 25, volunteers of all ages and from all walks of life will plant trees, clean up parks and restore community centers while they raise money to help Colorado youth. Over 500 volunteers are expected to participate in the 1992 City Serve-a-thon, said Amy Rohrbaugh of Denver Youth Employment Service, one of the event's organizers. City Serve-a-thon is designed like a walk-

a-thon except volunteers gather pledges for the number of hours worked instead of miles walked. The money raised will go to the Denver Youth Employment Service and to Colorado Youth Challenge. Denver Youth Employment Service is a community-based non-profit organization that provides education, training, counseling and employment assistance to disadvantaged youth in Denver. Colorado Youth Challenge is a new program that will provide opportunities for 17to 22-year-olds to earn educational and vocational scholarships by participating in public service work throughout Colorado.

The event will begin at 8 a.m. at Denver West High School, 1234 Bannock St. "We'll have coffee and juice and music," said Wendy Merritt from Colorado Youth Challenge. "We plan to make the day as festive and fun as possible." At West High School, volunteers will be divided into teams of 10 and assigned jobs. Merritt said that all tools, materials and transportation will be provided to the volunteers. Volunteers will work until 3 p.m., thenreturn to West High School for a party.

High school students work on a taxing problem during Math Day at MSCD. The event is designed to introduce students and teachers to MSCD's math and computer departments. Sylvia Lei Editorial Assistant MSCD 's seventh Annual Math Day March 5 in the Student Union meant a lot of problems for 147 high school students. But the students tackled these problems in trigonometry, algebra and geometry with knowledge, calculators and a lot of paper. Math Day is the brainchild of Larry Johnson, dean of Letters, Arts and Sciences, who wanted to expose MSCD to Colorado high schools. "Math Day gives Metro a chance to have ties with high school kids and their teachers," said MSCD math professor Bill Emerson. However, the main purpose of Math Day is not to recruit future students, said Jose Cisneros, chair of the math and computer science department, "These kids are here to have fun." Many of them are very smart, Cisneros said. "One of our professors worked on a problem for two hours, and some kids solved it in three minutes." The whiz kids are selected by math teachers at the participating schools. Each school can provide 12 students who then compete in groups of four. Some of the math teachers were MSCD graduates, such as Tamara Sink. She brought her Montbello High School sophomores. Most of the other contestants were juniors, but Sink said her class could handle the

Friday

competition - and also a loss. "They just deserve to have fun, to get out of school," Sink said. Her students, giggling and scribbling countless numbers and mysterious formulas on scratch paper, seemed indeed to enjoy themselves. They tried to solve problems such as: One owl hoots every three hours, a second owl hoots every eight hours, and a third owl hoots every 12 hours. If they all hoot at the start, how many times on the hour in three days will at least two owls not give a hoot at the same time? Most students did not struggle with the problem -so what about all the rumors that the United States, compared with other countries, is lagging behind in math? Interest in those subjects is a cultural thing, Cisneros said. " In other countries, they see math as something important. Here it's something kind of optional...The perception by society itself keeps students from excelling in it," Cisneros said. However, Math Day winners did excel The first place in geometry wentto Golden High School, Team I, the second and third prizes to Green Mountain II and John F. Kennedy I. The winner in Algebra was Green Mountain I; Kent II and Green Mountain ill tied for second place. By the way, the solution to the owl problem is 66 times. 0

The woman wearing the yellow hard hat and a tool pouch slung around her waist flipped the light switch, plunging Central Classroom 228 into darkness. "Without me, this is what it would be like in here," the electrician told the roomful of girls. She bad her audience's full attention. About 400 junior high girls gathered on the Auraria Campus March 7 to hear local women talk about their careers in engineering, medicine, firefighting, aeronautics, construction and law enforcement. "These conferences give girls the chance to meet technical and professional women working in non-traditional occupations," said Jeanette Ray Goins, supervisor of the Education Equity Programs Unit of the Colorado Department of Education. Response to "Expanding Your Horizons" has increased steadily since it began five years ago, Goins said. There were more applicants than spaces available for Saturday's conference hosted by MSCD. The University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, the Colorado Department of Education and Denver Girls Inc. also sp~n sored the event. Colleen Walker, Miss Colorado 1992, kicked off the conference at St. Cajetan's. She told the girls about her commitment to

architectural engineering and challenged them to take math and science. At the Auraria Campus they learned about veterinary medicine, geology and robotics. Some girls checked out careers in the Navy and Air Force. Veronica Berrios, a Grant Middle School sixth-grader, said she came last year

and wanted to come back. She decided to once again attend the workshop led by a female police officer. Veterinarian Laurie White explained to her group that animal doctors must earn a college degree and then study animal science for four years. Some girls thought that was a case of excessive schooling. In another workshop, led by Capt. Barbara Falkenberry, students simulated the flight of a KC-135 military airplane . Falkenberry had five girls dress in Air Force coveralls and bomber jackets then positioned them in the "aircraft." She explained the functions of each crew member,

focusing on her duties as a flight navigator. Nancy Phelps, a member of the National Association of Women in Construction, told the girls about her father's reaction to her career choice. "He told me I couldn ' ~ do it because I wasn't strong enough and I would get dirty," she said. Phelps ' reaction was to begin lifting weights so she could handle the 60-pound drill that electricians use. She is now one of 12 female master electricians in Colorado. Inspired, several girls tried on her tool pouch and hard hat. Phelps' smile lit up the room. 0

from page 1 Brewer said MSCD hired more minorities and ~omen this year than the UCD administration. He said UCO employs 12 percent minorities in faculty and staff positions, but MSCD now employs_ 16 to 17 percent minorities and 27 percent women in similar positions. Thomas Gomez, presidenr of National Image Inc., a Hispanic advocacy organization, said the purpose of the meeting was to let Brewer know "the· extreme urgency of concern of these matters." Gomez said Brewer' s responses wer~ unacceptable. "Every time he was asked a question, he refused to answer or referred it to others," Gomez said. " He demonstrated he was out of touch with what is going on at the school." The coalition groups - National Image Inc., Image de Denver, Hispanics of Colo-

rado, American GI Forum, League of United Latin American Citizens, La Raza, J:Iispanic League, and MEChA - claim that Brewer has violated state rules in recent hirings of faculty and staff, and that his policies have decreased Hispanic influence on.campus. They used as examples a lack of adequate representation on key college committees such as Enrollment Management and Stra-. tegic Planning. They also claimed that only one Hispanic, a part-time employee, is on the president's cabinet. "Overall," Brewer said, "we have some areas that need some attention." But he said of all new employees this past year, 35 percen~ were minorities. Brewer does admit that more attention has to be given to Hispanic interests on campus.

Stephen Bustos met Groa Bjork Hjorleifsdottir while stationed in Iceland with the Navy. Kristrun Maria Heidberg The Metropolitan

Stephen Patrick Bustos, an MSCD accounting student, didn't know much about Iceland when he was assigned to go to the U.S. naval station there for one year in 1986. He had been told the landscape in Iceland was similar to the moon, so he didn't quite know what to expect. But what Bustos could never have expected was that he would meet his future wife, Groa Bjork Hjorleifsdottir, now a CCD photography student, and stay there for almost three years. "After I met Groa I just had to stay longer," Bustos said. "She was such a beautiful girl, with her blue eyes and her long blond hair." Bustos and Hjorleifsdottir worked in the same building, where she was a private secretary, and that's where they first met. "I noticed him at once," Hjorleifsdottir said. "He was the most handsome man in the building and he didn't look like a typical American." But life wasn't always easy then for the young couple. " Icelandic girls who go out with Americans from the base are cal led bad names and there's a lot of prejudice toward them," Hjorleifsdottir said. When they first started dating, Bustos said he always had to wait in the car when he picked Hjorleifsdottir up at her parents'. "Groa's father didn' t want any Americans in his house and be didn't want to have anything to do with me," he said. Hjorleifsdottir said this kind of attitude is very prevalent in Iceland. "Many Icelandic boys simply hate the

Americans from the base," Hjorleifsdottir said. "That ' s mainly because they feel the Americans are taking 'their' Icelandic girls away from them." Today, her family loves Bustos. He and his father-in-law are best friends. Bustos and Hjorleifsdottir married only six months after they first met . They said they just knew they were right for each other. "Before we got married," Hjorleifsdottir said, "we always had to get permission and sign all kinds of papers in order to meet each other. But after the marriage, we got rid of all that trouble." The young couple moved to Denver in 1989. Hjorleifsdottir said it surprised her bow much colder it is in Denver than in Iceland. " I was also surprised at how little people here knew about the world outside the United States," she said. "Many people were so naive and often asked me stupid questions about my country." Bustos and Hjorleifsdottir, who will both graduate this year, aren't sure what to do after they finish school. They aren ' t sure if they should move back to Iceland, move somewhere else in Europe or stay in the United States. "It all depends on where we will both be able to get good jobs," Hjorleifsdottir said. "We want to be able to get good jobs after spending all this time in school." Bustos, who now speaks Icelandic well, said he wants very much to move to Iceland. "It's such a beautiful country and Icelanders constantly strive to better themselves," he said. "Here in the states, everyone is just trying to be their next-door neighbor." 0

EDITORIAL

Student elections carry great importance Lawrence Jones Editor

This week we have been inundated with Super Tuesday and the race for the presidential nomination. As tiring as it may be, this year's election is vitally important to us as citizens of the United States. Another election is quickly approaching that is just as vital to us as students of Metropolitan State College of Denver. Student governments are often thought of as a waste of time by many students. The importance of these elections escape students at a non-traditional college like MSCD. Most of us are simply striving to earn our degrees so that we can move on to the professional arena with more marketable skills, but that shouldn 't stop us from being involved in an institution that we pay for.

Our student government is allocated tens of thousands of our student fees to spend as it wishes. We should be concerned how that is spent to benefit the student body. We should carefully examine the upcoming candidates for student body president and vice president to be sure that they truly have the students' best interests at heart. The student government is also a representative of this school and its student body to the administration of MSCD and the community surrounding us. It is vitally important that we are represented well. The student government is part of our image and we should be concerned as to how that image is presented._ Student governments take a lot of heat, and well they should. But if the student body does not get involved in the electoral process, than very few people have the right to complain. This past year began poorly w ith infighting between President Chip Wiman and Vice President Anthony Vander Horst. Their battles did little for the image of MSCD's student government. The only good to come out of it was a call for a convention to change the student government constitution so that

it would be clearer and more concise. Unfortunately, this never happened. The constitution remains unchanged and the student government is now acting without one. Vander Horst finally resigned under pressure from Wiman and the executive cabinet. Allegations of failing to perform his duties followed Vander Horst out of office. Wiman replaced ~im with the socially conscious Thomas Mestnik, president of the Democratic Socialists of America. Mestnik has always been an advocate of the downtrodden. He works for programs to help enlighten the student body as to the plights of people throughout America and the world. Unfortunately, despite the good intentions of the student government, little has been done for the students directly. The student Senate has behaved in childish ways. At one meeting it dissolved into a shouting match with senators beating on tables and beating chairs on the floor to drown out another member. Mestnik called this democracy at work. It sounds more like unruly children who don't have the maturity to get their work done in an efficient manner.

This year, we as students have a chance to change all this. In the past, less than 1O percent of the 17,000 students turned out to even vote in student elections. Those elected must hardly feel the need to serve the students since 90 percent obviously don't care what is done by the student government. This is not the fault of the student government, but rather of the student body for not getting involved in something that could truly change their lives here at MSCD. So think about it. Think about the issues that are important to you and vote for the people who will work to solve those problems. Are you concerned about parking? Daycare? Tuition increases? Teacher reviews? Classes and services that are offered at night or on the weekend? What about graduation requirements? All these issues involve the student government. If we as students get out there and vote, showing a true mandate for a particular candidate, then we can be assured of progress made here at our college. After all, it is our money that is being spent here. Don't you want a say in what is done? Vote.

GUEST VIEWPOINT Understanding路tuition by the credit hour eludes most路 If the 65 students who protested the proposed tuition -by-the-credit-hour plan at MSCD President Brewer's office March 4 really claimed that the new plan would entail full-time students subsidizing parttime students, then they couldn't be more wrong. In fact, Brewer's plan is designed to do just the opposite. The way the current system is designed, the part-

Thom's corner .

timers are significantly subsidizing the full-timers. As the full-page advertisement student government ran in The Metropolitan last semester (1216/91) stated, the present system charges part-time students more for the same education for which full-timers pay less. The average part-time student currently takes six credit hours per semester and pays $468.50, while the

average full-timer takes 14 credit hours and pays $738.50. Now, if we could all payforourentireeducation at once, up front, then the part-timer would pay $9,370 and the full-timer would pay $6,330. That means the part-timer pays 48 percent more than the full-timer! Under the current system, the part-timer is subsidizing the full-timer by 48 percent! This is the subsidization Brewer is seeking to remove. Under the plan, he is proposing the average part-timer who takes six credit hours will pay $6:322.20, while the average full-timer taking 14 credit hours will pay $5,761.88. This means that under the new plan the part-timer is still paying more for the same education, but now the part-timer is paying only 9.7 percent more than the full-timer. This means the part-timer will still be subsidizing the full-timer, not the other way around as the students at Brewer's office may erroneously have claimed. This is a very complicated issue and I urge anyone who has questions about it to read the ad student government ran in The Meton 1216/91 or to contact me at the student government office. I have simplified the situation just to keep this letter short-we can't pay for our entire education up-front, and this makes it worse for the part-timers because there are inflation and increases in tuition every semester. Brewer's plan makes some assumptions about what students will do if their tuition goes up or down, and his assumptions are, in the end, nothing more than educated guesses. As the ad in The Met stated, we at student government will be running a survey in the next couple of weeks to try to eliminate the guesswork from the proposed tuition-by-the-credit-hour plan. When the survey is complete, student government will take a stand on whether or not the proposal should be supported or not. I personally have not taken a position yet because I don't have all the information I need to do so. However, I am persuaded that Brewer is proposing this new plan because he would like to see all students treated fairly and pay as close to the same price for their education as possible.

LETTERS

Women Studies courses deserve praise, not criticism Editor, This is in response to Kaspar's letter to the editor entitled "Gender studies requirement needs more diversity (2-28-92, The Metropolitan)." To see the real issue of Kaspar's letter, all we need to do is substitute the word "black" or "Hispanic" where the word "woman" is used and insert the word "white" where "male" is used. Such as: "Face it, most blacks 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." Or, "Since it is still far easier for whites to break into the corporate boardroom, they would provide the quickest avenue to positive change." It seems obvious -enough that Kaspar has a problem with seeing the difficulties that people of oppression face in this world. Also, if he wants to make assumptions, then let us make some other assumptions: 1. We all try to plan for the future (not just the "future male corporate board members."). 2. Decent GPAs do not always have direct correlation to critical thinking nor is critical thinking always reflected in a grade point average. 3. Being

adept at voicing your opinion does not mean that males can dominate every conversation they are involved in. Women Studies courses are varied; obviously not something Kaspar has looked up in his course catalog. The women who teach these courses are some of the finest teachers at Metropolitan State. If a man voices an opinion he develops after some "critical thinking" about feminist, ethnic or religious theory, I doubt seriously any teacher would "crash" his GPA. The right to free speech is respected and cherished by women as well as men. (Many blacks share this view.) No one needs to insult human beings to make a difference in this world. What makes a difference is respect for all groups of people - even those who are not like yourself. One of the best ways to learn to respect those groups is to learn about them, something I am willing to pay for and to work for here at school. One last comment; I do not believe Kaspar is a male feminist. A true feminist has the strength and integrity to sign their full name.

Lack of sports coverage angers MSCD swimmer Editor, I am upset about the lack of coverage and support

The Metropolitan gives the MSCD swim team. The one article on Bernie Gard, our distance swimmer, was appreciated. But that was the only such one which wasn't a "Sports Brief." Our end-of-the-season results read somethin~ like tbis: "Sf:'im team..ends season in seconc:f, coach Cindy Kemp received Coach-of-the.:Year honors." This tiny bit of information could have fit into a basketball stats box twice! Swimmers have received little respect from this paper. No wonder in a typical conversation with another student on campus, when swimmers are asked what

sport they participate in and reply, the immediate response is, "Swimming, I didn't know we had a swim team here." This certainly does not help out Coach Kemp's recruiting efforts! I didn't know MSCD had a volleyball team until a student from UNC told me. I gather that it is a club team, but it is a sport. The job of a.new,sp<\PoSr is to inform peoP,le in all. areas. Swimming' is one of the hardest, if not the hardest, sports to dedicate one's self to. And a long hard season of practicing six days a week, three-plus hours a day, deserves much more credit than a "Sports Brief." We are here to learn; please inform us.

Students must work to enact--the Federal Clean Air Act Editor,

During the 1992 Colorado legislative session we will have the opportunity to enact legislation which will begin to clean up the infamous "brown cloud," which is suspended over Denver and the remainder of the Front Range. This "brown cloud" is the source of a plethora of respiratory problems for humans and animals. It also affects the health of the wild flora and fauna. Unfortunately, this will not happen unless students and other concerned citizens who care enough about our environment get involved by demanding our elected representatives take action to halt the continuing pollution by enacting the Federal Clean Air Act of 1990, which has strong criminal penalties for those who are serious and chronic violators of clean air laws. The time for apathy is past as we are paying with our lives for not getting involved in addressing this

most serious issue. Scientists are predicting a hole in the ozone layer will open up above an area of North America, which includes Denver. The specter of increased medical problems looms on the horizon. We can expect an increase in cancer outbreaks to occur. So I urge you to get involved now! Write letters, telephone your elected officials- inform them of your serious concerns about our polluted air and demand that they represent our interests by enacting this legislation. We deserve to breathe clean air and we can have it if we care enough to get involved. Do it now! Please understand that industry and clean air are not necessarily mutually exclusive. Industry must use existing technology as well as continue research to develop new technology to clean up our air. However, their history is not admirable with regard to this issue. Furthermore, we must urge the federal government to become more involved in resolving this grave issue.

'Mambo Kings' sizzles with Latin flair

Dear Counselor,

',! ~.

I'm 22 years old and living with my boyfriend who is 30. We're both attending Metro. I'm working on my first degree and am waitressing part-time to pay bills. My boyfriend is returning to school for his second Bachelors because he feels that his original field is "filled with jerks.• He is trying to keep his hours at work down to a part-time basis, but he gets called several times a week to go in.

The problem that is emerging in our lives is too much alcohol. We met in a bar and go out drinking and dancing just about .;: every weekend. Since we've been together, '.1 moderate drinking has been one of our j[ main activities. .

:~;

A few months ago, he got a DWAI and , this has been the only time he has ever been l in trouble with the law. he swears he ] doesn't drive when he's drunk and that he is i in complete control aft~r only a couple of \ drinks. Nonetheless, I'm getting more and more concerned because he has started to drink more and more often and I'm finding myself doing the same. It's definitely getting :, beyond the level I'm comfortable with.

I know that he has been under a lot of

:j pressure and is very frustrated, but its

1i, getting harder for me to be understanding =:·; and supportive. It's impossible for us to talk { about anything anymore without the ' ' influence ofalcohol. _The fl.ip side of this is, with all that is going·on drinking seems to be {he only thing we have in common right now.

I want to cut down on my drinking, but I'm afraid that he'll take it the wrong way and I'll lose him. On one hand, he needs me right now, but on the oiher hand, I'm not happy with how things are turning out. With each day that passes, I am spending more and more time worryiag and less and =' less time studying. I'm also finding that we ]I

Drinking Like A Fish

,: ,~''.f·:'

=:j ·

Dear Drinking Like A Fish, I recommend you begin to focus on yourself and do the things that are important to you. Although you care about your boyfriend, you should consider .YQl!r motive in trying to change him and his behavior. If you continue to focus 1 your entire life and attention around f, the problems and concerns, you will 1 ~.'. continue to feel frustrated and find Fyourself doing things that are selft defeating and potentially selfdestructive. With the level of , drinking you describe, the real ~ problems within the relationship are being masked. Under these i•· conditions, you have no way of j!' ' addressing them directly and have a i perfect scapegoat, alcohol, to blame for what is really going on or not going on within your relationship.

You want to reduce your rate of alcohol consumption - do it. If you need help and support in implementing an effective plan that is conducive to your own well-being, seek out a professional. If your decision effects your boyfriend in a negative way, it is a problem he needs to address, not you. Take care of yourself and allow him to do the same and, finally, be clear of what is acceptable and not acceptable to you. ~

This article is written by the Metro Connections students and staff at the MSCD Counseling Center.

Social Distortion blends punk, western Jenny Jenny Music Editor

,'-

-'-'

Maybe it's just me, but I've been hearing country/western influence in a lot of current music. It could be spring fever, and maybe spring break will rid me of this noxious obsession, but for now ... imagine punk and CW fused intricately together, erupting into complete madness. Social Distortion brilliantly brings that nightmarish concept to reality with a couple of the tracks on their newest release, Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell. This Time Darlin' has the feel and sound of country, with depressing lyrics ' n' all: " As I'm looking back on broken down dreams/ Heartbreaks and memories that I've had/I made it through the hard times and came back a stronger man/But this time darling, it's just not the same." But the unique dichotomy isn't in the lyrics, rather in the smooth vocals and melody neatly intertwined with an intense punk guitar, making for an interesting attention-grabber. Ghost Town Blues follows in the same vein, but drops off a bit in intensity: "Where laughs and cries and memories were once/ Now lie tumbleweeds and dust/And an empty graveyard feeling ~that began once just as childhood lust." Social Distortion finds its real distinctiqnin the aggres.sive, fast-pac~!l p.u~jams that first put this band on the map. The band is one of the few punk groups to survive the mid-'80s Top 40/dance infatuation, and reincarnate into the '90s. Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell retains Social Distortion's punk roots, but shines with a speed-rock polish keeping up with the distinctive Seattle sound's recent surge onto the rock scene. The bizarre 1yrics are a con: of truth laced with insanity ranging in topics rrom losing love to being in love to killm15 for love in songs titled Bad Luck, Bye Bye Baby, Born To Lose and King ofFools (a cover of Edwin Bruce's 1957 hit). With 99 To Life, Social Distortion throws a major twist- it's not a raging, venomous tune, but a smoother, mellow track highlighted by slow, slurring vocals. The message is from a man obsessed by love for a

woman who dumped him for another dude (same old story). He can't give it up, and stabs her (different ending, though). Well,

Attention Spinheads ! Grab onto your hats - the Spin Doctors storm through Denver March 14 to bedazzle the bejesus out of you at the Mercury Cafe. "We're the last flight of the quill before the keyboard and console take over," quipped lead singer Chris Barron. Spin Doctors doctor up a remedy for much of today's uninspired, overproduced music from synthesizer hell with a depth of musical intuition and substantial incendiary grooves. The group was hatched at New York's New School of Jazz, and later hit the club scene in Princeton, N .J. (home of the Blues Travelers). Their first major-label release onEpicRecords,PocketFullofKryptonite, blasts off with Jimmy Olsen's Blues, a Superman-inspired song that leaves the Crash Test Dummies' Superman's Song in the dust (not that it was anything worthwhile to begin with). Hyper guitar riffs and a full, lively mix back Barron's unique, powerful voiceas be professes his love for Lois Lane: "He's faster than a bullet, stronger than a train/He's the one who got lucky, got his cape around Miss Lois Lane/I can't believe my dilemma is

MSCD welcomes artists-in-residence; classical perfomances slated for spring

·~ - MEI'lUWTAN TAKES A BREAK!

We will not be publishing an issue during Spring Break, March 16-20. Look for our next issue

Philippe Marquis Staff Writer

The Ariel Trio, a Denver-based chamber music ensemble designated this month as MSCD's first artist-in-residence, has three concerts scheduled around the metro area for its spring season. The trio, formed last spring, consists of Susan Cable, an MSCD music professor, and David and Tamara Mullikin, the husband-and-wife team from the Colorado Symphony Orchestra. The Mullikins recently joined MSCD's music department as parttime faculty. The trio, in addition to future concerts in Denver, will perform for music classes and departmental programs. "Part of our job as faculty is to perform for students," Cable said. "An artist-in-residence ensemble is standard for most universities. What we're trying to do is widen the audience of chamber music." Their concert includes piano trios from Beethoven and Dvorak along with the premier of David Mullikin' sown composition, Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird, named after a poem by Wallace Stevens. Cable, the trio's pianist, holds piano performance degrees from Oberlin Conservatory of Music and the universities of Illinois and Northern Colorado. She has also stud-

At age 23, MSCD student Shannon Scott is sitting pretty as a disc jockey for KAZYFM, the kind of high-profile position that many broadcast students seek, but few ever attain. Scott, who will graduate with a bachelor's degree in broadcasting this semester, shrugs off her success as a lucky break. "I'm an introvert," Scott said. "I never thought I'd be in radio. I'm really lucky. For me, it was definitely right place, right time." Her original goal was to be a part-time DJ while in school. She got her foot in the industry door at a year-long internship at KLZ-Rock, an AM rock station in Denver.

Students offer hangover help Linda Hansen The Metropolitan Powerful pain pounds your brain. You' re dehydrated and feel sick to your stomach. Another case of the flu? No. A hangover. As spring break approaches and many students contemplate a week of hard partying, an age-old question rears its throbbing head: How to prevent, or cure, a hangover? Auraria students recently shared their favorite - if unscientific -remedies.

The most popular suggestion for preventing a hangover was to take Vitamin C or drink orange juice. One journalism student couldn't explain the reason for the OJ "miracle," but cited "its magical power" to prevent dehydration. Another suggestion is to take aspirin. When to take the aspirin is unclear. "Take two aspirin before you drink," one student said. "Take the aspirin after you drink, but before you go to bed," another student urged.

Study, travel combination offered MSCD art department and MSCD Extended Campus Program presents: "The Overseas Program in Italy: Art in Tuscany 600 B.C. to A.D. 1600." Students will be based in Castiglion Fiorentino, Italy (37 miles south of Florence), and will tour the major Etruscan centers. The tour is worth four credit hours of art history. The plane leaves May 25 and returns June 15. Cost is $2,462 and includes tuition, fees, room, board, local transportation and air travel.

The MSCD Study Abroad Program presents its five week program of study in Germany. Anyone who has at least one year of college German or equivalent may apply for the six-credit-hour course. The itinerary includes language and cultural studies on three academic levels and a nine-day tour through Germany including fonner East Germany, the Alps and Berlin. The price of $2,680 covers tuition, fees, lodging, three meals per day, all cultural excursions and admission fees, free transportation throughout greater Bonn and expenses of the final tour. The plane leaves June 1 and returns July 12. Call Gudrun Clay, MSCD department of modem languages, at 556-2908/2909 or 343-8978.

Women denied NCAA bid Will Hinton Sports Editor No one ever said that voting was an exact science. The NCAA national committee and North Central Region voters proved it isn 't March 8. The MSCD women 's basketball team was denied a bid to the NCAA Division II Regionals , which start March 13, despite having one of the best records in the nation. The Roadrunners won the Colorado Athletic Conference title and owned 24 wins, a total surpassed by only 11 teams in the nation. They were also ranked fourth in the region - usually a guaranty of being invited to the big dance. The remarkable achievements of the ' Runners were apparently not enough to convince the NCAA hierarchy that they belonged in the tournament. The national committee overlooked No. 4 MSCD and instead gave bids to South Dakota State (19-9), who upset North Dakota in the North Central Conference tournament, and Nebraska-Omaha (20-8), the No. 5 and six teams in the region. The NCC received all five of the North Central Region bids, the CAC received none. MSCD Head Coach Darryl Smith was understandably upset over the situation. Smith said he told national committee chair Gladys Ziemer that he felt his team's regional ranking was unfair. "Ziemertold us 'Don't wo~ about your ranking,"' Smith said. "She told us the only important pole is the final one.

OFFICERS'

"The people (regional rankers and Ziemer) lied to us all year. Ziemer was talking to us out of both sides of her mouth. 'Tm sick about it for our kids. I have every negative emotion you could have. "We got royally screwed." Two of the three regional voters, who kept MSCD out of the top-four almost the entire season, are from the CAC. Nancy Sheehan, head women ' s basketball coach at the University of Denver, and Regis University Associate Athletic Director Barb Schroeder both vote in the rankings, but failed to put MSCD alone in the No. 4 spot until the last poll of the season, giving the national committee the impression that the 'Runners were a fluke team. 0

Sports Briefs - - Baseball robbed of win: The MSCD baseball team beat Regis University 12-4 March 6, but was robbed of a win by the storm that hit the Front Range March 10. MSCD lost the fust game of a double dip 2-0 at Northern Colorado, but was winning 5-2 with two outs in the bottom of the fifth when hail suspended play. The 'Runners were one out away from making the game official when UNC started stalling in hopes of a suspension. The game will probably not be continued. MSCD now owns a 4-5 record.

From the cheap seats: a one-man peanut gallery

Rivers tops all-CAC lists Will Hinton Sports Editor

-J ,

Time to give you my all-Colorado Athletic Conference teams. Before doing so, I must tell you I am a traditionalist. I didn't pick the five best players, I picked the best teams in my eyes. That is, my first-teams are the best center, two forwards, shooting guard and point guard. Men's Basketball Player of the Year: Ralph Rivers, MSCD. Rivers bad the stats (19.4 points and 5.9 rebounds per game, first-team all-North Central Region), but it was his leadership that won him the award. On a team decimated by injuries and lacking in experience, Rivers played consistently all season and carried the Roadrunners on his monstrous shoulders, leading them to their second CAC championship in as many years. He is also the most electrifying player in the conference. Coach of the Year: Bob Hull, MSCD. If there is a better coach in Colorado, I haven't seen him. Hull is definitely a Division I coaching talent who is at least as good, and in my opinion better, than Colorado's Joe Harrington and Colorado State's Stew Morrill. Hull took a squad with little experience and a depleted frontcourt and coached the underdogs to the CAC title. On the sideline this man is half inspirational genius, half miracle worker. Rivers was the key on the court, but it was Hull who won it for MSCD. Women's Basketball Player of the Year: Cassie Sandoval, MSCD. If you are surprised by this pick, you

shouldn't be. Anyone who saw Sandoval play all year isn't. Sandoval was the leader and by far the most consistent player on the best team in the CAC. Runner-up Holly Roberts is the most dominating player in the conference and a fierce rebounder - when she's on the court. In crunch time, when Roberts was on the bench due to chronic foul problems, it was Sandoval who saved MSCD over and over again. In the games that counted most, it was Sandoval who put up the big numbers. Her stats may fall short in comparison to other players ( 12.7 points and 3 .2 assists per game), but her numbers weren't handed to her by weak opponents, they were earned against the toughest teams on the schedule. Coach of the Year: Darryl Smith, MSCD. Twenty-four wins, a New Year's Eve upset of No. 4 West Texas and a cakewalk to the CAC championship. 'Nough said. Now add the fact that Smith inherited a team that had just 32 wins in the seven years previous to his arrival two years ago, and you have a runaway winner. All-Grudge Team: Nancy Sheehan, University of Denver women's coach, and Barb Schroeder, Regis University Associate Athletic Director. Smith has stepped on some toes in his two years in Denver, but that is no excuse for these two to let their personal feelings dictate the North Central Region rankings. You'll notice there are no DU or Regis players on the women's team. The reason is simple. DU's Heather Holter, Tammy Baca and Kristi Burns, and Regis' Anita Foskuhl aren't really as good as they appear on the court, and their good play and stats are nothing more than a fluke. Just ask Sheehan and Schroeder. 0
