Candidates present positions MSCD students to vote on presidential hopefuls, variety of referendums Martin Rush Staff Writer

Student government leadership and referendums concerning community service, discrimination and tuition rates are on the ballot for the MSCD elections March 31 through April 2.

The candidates for MSCD student government's top offices offer students some clear choices in the upcoming election.

Thecompetingtickets-MattTaylor/MarcusDunn and Tom Mestnik/Monica Garcia - spoke to The Metropolitan about their views on student government and various issues facing MSCD students.

Following is a summary of their views: Presidential Candidates

The candidates for student government president and vice president faced off In a debate March 25 in front of the S1udent Union.

From left, Marcus Dunn, candidate for vice president with Matt Taylor as president, and Tom Mestnik, candidate for president with Monica Garcia for vice president, fielded questions from the audience and a panel of students.

Taylor believes students should be directing their leaders on the issues they're concerned about, rather than leaders dictating to students: He thinks that MSCD students are primarily concerned with getting a substantial education.

"Student government leaders shouldn't be concerned with their own social issues," Taylor says.

"And they should listen to all students, not just the ones who vote."

He opposes the tuition-by-the-credit-hour concept and the proposal to add up to 200 hours of community see Candidates page 3

Student grievance alleges discrimination by religious group Martin Rush Staff Writer

A gay MSCD student has filed a grievance with the school's Office of Equal Opportunity after allegedly being denied membership in a religious club because of his sexual orientation.

Jeff Davidson, acting president of the Auraria Gay and Lesbian Alliance, told the group at its March 13 meeting that he had filed the grievance the day before, after being turned away from Menorah Ministries, an MSCD religious club.

The grievance was filed both against the club and the college.

Davidson, who characterized himself as a practicing Christian, said he discussed joining Menorah Ministries with club minister Rick Drebenstedt at the club's table in the Student Union March 12.

"He told me you couldn' t be a member if you're gay," Davidson said.

MSCD instituted a policy last month forbidding discrimination based on sexual orientation in school employment and student activities. Religious clubs and ROTC were exempted from the policy on constitutional grounds.

A protest rally against the new policy will be held on April 16, Davidson said.

Letters were being sent to the offices of Denver Mayor Wellington Webb, Gov. Roy

Romer and U.S. Rep. Pat Schroeder urging them to send representatives to the rally, according to Davidson.

Davidson's grievance has been forwarded to the Colorado attorney general's office, said Percy Morehouse, MSCD Affirmative Action officer.

"He told me you couldn't be a member if you're gay."- Jeff Davidson The attorney general's office must decide if the grievance falls within the jurisdiction of existing federal and state statutes, Morehouse said.

If it does, MSCD will begin its established grievance procedure, according to

Morehouse. If it does not, the grievance will be dismissed outright.

In a related development, SACAB informed the Auraria Board that beginning in the Fall 1992 semester it would deny the use of space in the Student Union to any student club or organization that discriminates on the basis of sexual orientation. The advisory board voted to treat clubs without a sexual discrimination clause in their constitutions like outside organizations when allotting office and meeting room space.

Student government leaders have criticized MSCD's new anti-discrimination policy because they say it allows religious clubs to discriminate against students while accessing student fees and facilities.

THE ME'l'ROPOLIT AN

Tivoli vendors worry about future after renovation Pete Lewis The Metropolitan

Most current Tivoli occupants are optimistic about sharing the building with Auraria students when the Tivoli is transformed into the new student union.

"We have truly a unique opportunity," said Brian Kelly, general manager of the Tivoli 12 Theatre. "The historic nature of this wonderful building, the mall and the student union will make this the most unique student center in the country."

"Having more bodies in the mall can only help my business," said Grace Sweeney, owner of Mom's Cinnamon Rolls.

Ken Crouse, who has operated Ken Crouse Portraits at the Tivoli for six and a half years, said that with baseball, and possibly Elitch's coming, the Tivoli has no place to go but up.

"As of today, I am very positive about the developments at the Tivoli," said Scott V anerstrom, co-owner of the Boiler Room.

"Done properly, the mixed-use concept can enhance the campus, the building, the community and the entire lower downtown."

Owners of businesses in the food court are not so optimistic about their future. They

custom-made forthe location, would be almost worthless if they are forced to move. ''Thisbusinessemploys 12 people,"Teranian said. "Four have families, so more than 50 people will be affected if we are forced to close."

Teranian, whose lease is up at the end of this year, said he would prefer that AHEC sit down with business owners face-to-face to explain what they plan to do.

"We should know first," Teraniansaid. "Itisourright."

Paul Kim, owner of the Mandarin Cottage, echoed Teranian's concerns.

"I'm worried about the Brion Butch I The Metropolitan food court closing," Kim said.

Mamoud Teranian operates Shish Kabob at the Tivoli.

"We want to stay." fear that AHEC may force them out.

Daniel Hurst, general manager of "Nobody knows what will happen," Morton's Steakhouse, said that he doesn't Mamoud Teranian said. Teranian owns and expect the students to affect his business in operates Shish Kabob, Falafel and the any way.

service to graduation requirements.

Taylor believes more research needs to be done into the proposal to build a new child care center, and that the current facility has been mismanaged.

He supports the renovation of the Tivoli into a new student union, but not if it is turned into another Cherry Creek Mall.

On MSCD's new anti-discrimination policy, Taylor says that as student government president he would act on the wishes of .the student body, regardless of his personal views.

Taylor is currently a member of the student Judicial Board.

Tom Mestnik: Mestnik believes in an activist student government that fights for student rights by lobbying the legislature, letter writing and organizing rallies.

"We need to take it to the front line," Mestnik said.

He wants students to have moredecisionmaking power over the issues that affect them. He would encourage involvement in student government through the use of tuition vouchers or class credit for those who serve.

Mestnik says student government should be leading the fight for physically challenged students, who still do not have access to some campus buildings.

"We should be a voice for those who don't have a voice," he says.

Mestnik opposes tuition-by-the-credithour, saying it would devastate many fulltime students. He opposes mandatory community service as an ill-conceived idea.

He supports building a new child care facility on campus. He also supports the renovation of the Tivoli into a new student union, but cautions that student government must not allow it to be turned into a mall.

Mestnik opposes the school 's new antidiscrimination policy, because it allows religious clubs and ROTC to discriminate against gays and lesbians.

Mestnik is currently serving as vice president of MSCD student government and president of the MSCD Democratic Socialists of America.

Vice Presidential Candidates

Marcus Dunn:路 Dunn believes money is the primary concern for most MSCD students and would explore ways to help them financially.

"Metro students don't have deep pockets like their parents do," Dunn says. "We need to find ways to help them save money."

Book purchasing is one area he would concentrate on. Dunn would like to set up a book swap, where students could barter used. textbooks with one another. He would also like to see a mandatory book reserve policy requiring instructors to order extra copies of textbooks for the library.

Dunn opposes a change to tuition-bythe-credit hour. He is also againstthe current community service proposal, saying that students don't need the requirement to get life experience.

He believes that the Tivoli, when fully completed, will be "the coolest student union in the country." But he worries that Auraria may have jumped the gun a bit with the project.

Dunn says that hiking the student bond fee $4 to build another child care center will not represent a good return on the money raised.

He points out it will only benefit an additional 125 students.

He questions whether the school's antidiscrimination policy should be the subject of a referendum and supports the current MSCD policy. see Candidates page 5

Hurst said his only concern when AHEC took over the building was for the Tivoli employees. Hurst said some of the security and maintenance people who worked :(or the previous management lost their jobs because they would not or could not take the civil service exam required by AHEC. Only Mike O ' Neal, owner of Shalako Indian Arts, plans to move out of the Tivoli.

O'Neal said his store is not doing well at the Tivoli location and he plans to move out by the end of summer.

"Right now it's cheaper to keep the store open than it is to rent a warehouse for my inventory," O'Neal said. "But I don't anticipate staying for long."

O'Neal is an outspoken critic of AHEC's management of the Tivoli.

"The right hand doesn't know what the left one is doing," O'Neal said. "We have not been given the straight story."

Mos.t of the merchants give JoAnn Soker and Andy Chitwood of AHEC much better marks. Brian Kelly said that maintenance, parking and security have all improved since AHEC took over the building. He said that AHEC has been very responsive to the merchants' suggestions and needs.

Ken Crouse agreed that, if anything, sesee Tlvoll page 5

Sculptures in the Arts building halls can cause problems for disabled students.

Tern said that it's "not going to be enough to say that the buildings are historic and leave it like that." She said she hopes that in the future something can be done to make the historic buildings accessible to disabled students without compromising the historic value of the buildings.

The Americans with Disabilities Act, which went into effect Jan. 26, will help in the future development of disabled accessibility to newly constructed buildings, not only in higher education buildings, but in all public buildings, such as restaurants.

MSCD Disability Services, located in Arts 177, helps students in four major areas: academics, which include recorded text books, books with Braille and other learning tools; personal counseling for students; advocacy, including negotiating any problems that students might have with other students or faculty; and education in-services for the academic department.

The Auraria Campus, for the most part, is accessible to disabled students, according to the managerof the AHEC Office of Disability Services.

Melanie Tern said that accessibility to Auraria buildings isn ' t too bad. She sees a problem with art sculpture in the Arts building corridors, not with door and ramp accessibility.

A number of students have expressed concerns over some of the art sculpture, saying that they block the hallway so that students in wheelchairs can't get around the sculpture.

Tern said that she's afraid that if blind students wanted to walk along the corridor wall, they couldn't because some sculptures are blocking the pathway.

She also had a concern over a sculpture that is no longer being displayed, and in which one student wrote in concern to a display calling itself "Dangerous Art." The display was made up of broken glass and loose coins. Some sharp edges of glass stuck out and the student was concerned that a blind student might be in danger of getting hurt.

"For the most part, accessibility is pretty good," said Bret Hardesty, a senior majoring in broadcast communications, quadriplegic since birth.

Hardesty said that he uses the campus handi-van and that students and professors are willing to help, but adds that he's pretty self-reliant.

Hardesty and Tern agree that possibly the most inaccessible buildings on campus are on Ninth Street. Although Hardesty has never had to use any service offered on Ninth Street, he said he could just imagine having a hard time entering one of the buildings.

Long-awaited transfer evaluations are a thing of the past, according to Jeff Johnson, assistant dean of the Office of Admissions and Records.

Many students and faculty breathed a sigh of relief on Jan. 1, when the new system for evaluating transfer credits was initiated.

A year ago, Admissions and Records had such a backlog on transfer evaluations that it took several months for them to be completed, Johnson said.

"The stress level last year was incredible because students as well as faculty were so angry about the wait," Johnson said.

MSCD student Cathy Valdez, an accounting junior, waited six months to receive her transfer evaluation but didn't come across any problems in the process.

"When I asked why it was taking so long," Valdez said, "they just responded by

saying 'we are working on it."'

Valdez said that she lucked out because she heard of so many students who were having many problems because of the extended time it took.

Johnson said it now only takes a month to receive a transfer evaluation after the student's file is complete.

"Students don 't realize that their file must be totally completed first before it can be evaluated," he said.

Krista Bjorlin, an MSCD hospitality management sophomore who just transferred this semester, said her evaluation only took two months.

"I was surprised when I received my evaluation so early," she said. "Because when I transferred to Metro from CUBoulder, I heard about so many of the problems other students had."

Johnson added that students who transfer from another Colorado school get priority over a student from another state and that this may add to a delay in some instances.

Dunn is currently a member of the student Senate.

Monica Garcia: Garcia says she believes student government should not only be strong student advocates, but should be reaching out to the larger community as well.

"We need to be active in the surrounding community," Garcia says. "We should concentrate on_maintaining Metro as a nontraditional college, so it doesn't discourage students of color."

She points to the tutoring done in the Special Services office and conferences with local high school students as examples of recruitment and retention efforts she feels MSCD student government should foster.

Garcia believes not enough research has

been done into tuition-by-the-credit-hour for students to make a sound decision.

She thinks there is merit to the concept of community service as a graduation requirement, but not necessarily for every department and not at ttie 200-hour level.

She supports building a new child care facility on campus, saying that as a single mother, she appreciates the child care problems of college students who are also parents. She believes the center should look at financial need when considering applications for child care.

She is ambivalent about MSCD's new anti-discrimination policy, believing that religious clubs should not be allowed to discriminate against gay and lesbian students, but also wary of enforcing a type of censorship on them.

curity and maintenance have picked up. He described the new managers as "very upbeat."

Teranian said that originally not enough AHEC employees were assigned to clean up the food court during the lunch hour and that they worked too slow. Teranian said that when he complained to AHEC, they were receptive and the situation improved.

"I don't envy JoAnn Soker or Andy Chitwood at all," Vanerstrom said. "At any point in time, they are taking flak or trying to appease somebody, either it's the students or the merchants."

Several business people said they were surprised at the negative feelings expressed by some students. Most felt that the students should be the big winners in the arrangement.

"We are not the enemy," Hurst said. "I won't tell you how much rent we pay, but I'll tell you that tuition or enrollment would have to go up significantly to cover what we're paying."

Anne Mcintyre, president of fieldwork denver inc., said merchants are very interested in what students want. She said the merchants' association has suggested doing a research project to find out what students really want. Mcintyre, whose company does market research, said without a scientific study, AHEC may run the risk of hearing from a vocal minority of students.

"We have a phenomenal opportunity here," Mcintyre said. "Imagine student art showcased in these offices or in the restaurants in this building. Think of the opportunities for work studies and internships."

She said swdepts should demand the Tivoli become a commercial success. 0

PEOPLE Asian-American women urged to record histories Editorial Assistant

"A community exists not just in flesh and blood of daily experiences but in terms of memory."

"You usually don't see an Asian-American family in the media," Lott said.

She then summarized the history ofAsianAmerican families in the United States. In the beginning of Asian immigration, "we weren't allowed to be families in the U.S.," Lott said.

In the 1850s, mosHy Asian men were allowed to immigrate as contract workers.

The first were Chinese building railroads.

At that time, Chinese men outnumbered women by a ratio of l 4-to- l, Lott said.

Meanwhile, Asian women outnumber men. Since 1965, Asian immigrants have been mostly women. That is due to wars, for example in Cambodia, Lott said.

Most Asian-American women face more responsibilities than other American women, Lott said. They must maintain the family, go to work and keep up cultural traditions. A lot of immigrant women also sustain their families in Asia by sending money, she said.

How should anon-traditional college such as MSCD take these facts into account when trying to be "a more inclusive community ...for immigrant, refugee and U.S.-bom Asian women?" Lott asked.

The need for Asian-American women to record their history was one of the main topics of Juanita Tamayo Lott's speech March 12 at St. Cajetan's.

Lott, a Filipino-American who works as a public-policy consultant in Washington, D.C., spoke to about 20 people in celebration of Women's History Month.

"A community exists not just in flesh and blood of daily experiences but in terms of memory. What gets recorded? What gets erased? Who is allowed to speak and who is forced to remain silent?" Lott asked.

People of color and women have limited access to the media, Lott said. "For example, only 2 percent of children's literature in the U.S. is about or by people of color." But 25 percent of the entire population are people of color, she said.

Lott then named several attempts by Asian-American women to record their history, such as Mituye Yamada's Camp Notes and Other Poems.

Camp Notes documents the experiences of Japanese prisoners during World War II at a camp in Minidoka, Idaho. Two-thirds of the internees were Americans by birth, Lott said.

But documenting their history is only the most visible contribution to society by AsianAmerican women, Lott said.

Earlier, Lott had talked about the role of the Asian-American family. Lott said during the Olympics, the Asian-American community was proud of the media coverage of Kristi Yamaguchi and her family.

Our Mechanics Are Road Scholars Conscientious, Quality Repairs Since 1976 Juanita Tamayo Lott spoke at St. Cajetan's March 12 as part of Women's History Month.

"We need to look to Asian-American women not only as students but as family members, not only in the U.S. but in Asia."

Lott further said that the college should serve the needs Asian women have as students as well as family members, including counseling, child care, financial aid. But the college could also sponsor events such as film or speaker series or ethnic food festivals.

"It is important that we view AsianAmerican women as an integral part of the Metro State community, not as somet)iing exotic," Lott said.

After illustrating the roles Asian-American women play in their families and in documenting their history, Lott talked about their "political empowerment." "We don't associate Asian women with politics."

However, there is a strong need to define Asian-American womanhood. Political empowerment is an act of naming and defining oneself, Lott said.

Asian-Americans have the highest number of interracial marriage, Lott said.

"We are not a homogeneous definition, and we are not a blending," she said.

Also, Asian-American women cannot allow to be reduced to a market research definition, or, to a model-minority. "Now they use us as an example to the blacks," Lott said.

Asian-American women can define themselves over women's organizations within the existing Asian-American organizations, Lott said.

They can also define themselves by getting involved in grassroot issues as well as in national issues. A college such as MSCD could encourage that by making community involvement part of the college curriculum, Lott said.

Lott ended her speech saying: "We (Asian-American women) are not here to accept or bow to existing standards, but to strive for standards that acknowledge our bond and responsibility to those who came before us and those yet to come... We cling to and maintain the strengths of our AsianAmerican heritage while we also welcom~ what is good in the larger world."

March 27, 1992

Sharp tongues, wits highlight Irish Debate Sheryl Knapp The Metropolitan During the 13th annual Friends of the Irish Debate Series, tempers flared but blarney kept the debate light-hearted despite the serious topic, "The American Press Should Exercise Restraint in the Investigations of the Private Lives of Political Candidates."

MSCD debater Jeff Howard promised to remain cool during the debate, but "How can I?" he said. "We have a problem with the American media of nowadays ... a watch dog has now become our attack dog."

"When the press cannot get a juicy story, through ethical reporting techniques, (it) reaches for (its) checkbook; because, in the world of political sabotage and mistresses, they don't take no for an answer and they don't take American Express."

Pat 0 'Keeffe of the Irish team countered that the media provide the only means through which people can get to know a political candidate before putting him or her into office.

"The role of the press is to uncover political facts and to interrogate those people who take advantage of our trust in legislative positions and see that they are worthy ... of our trust," he said.

However, MSCD's Nick DePaulo said the First Amendment guarantees the right to speak but not to invade the privacy of others.

Cian Ferriter, who won best individual speaker in the Irish Times debate competition, said that his poor innocent Irish blue eyes were shocked when he arrived in America.

"I, unfortunately, come from a country without sex," he said. "I am not terribly qualified to speak, but obviously I'm qualified to run for president of your country."

Ferriter said the issue is not candidates' sex lives but their honesty.

"Surely, the issue is not sexual infidelity, it's the fact that Gary Hart stands up and he says, 'Come on in ,guys, I'm clean,"' Ferriter said. "It's a bit like Jeffrey Dahmer saying 'come on in and look at my fridge, I'm clean."'

JoannaFerrelly, whowontheteamaward along with O'Keefe in the Irish Times De-

bate final at Dublin City University, said, "You cannot operate a democracy without a completely free press, and that is why we do not want restraints on the American press."

"An election process is a screening process. It is much better to know as much as you can when you send someone into office for that four-year period because it is much more difficult to get rid of an incumbent."

MSCDdebaterKari Vasbywasn'tgoing to let the audience go without the last word.

"We the people have a right to demand an ethical standard from our newspaper industry," she said. "When you hire someone (such as politicians) for a job, you hire them for their qualifications. You've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything."

The debate was March 12 in the Student Union.

March 27, 1992

Thirst for competition quenched in time Kari Vasby The Metropolitan

:

Five minutes before two other MSCD debaters and I were to clash with the Irish national champs before hundreds of people and a TV camera, I had but one question on my mind: "Where's my glass of water?"

I suspect, if you were about to battle it out with the best and brightest of the Emerald Isle, water might not be your utmost concern. But I could think of nothing else.

As the last speaker in an hour-long debate I imagined the horror of my plight if left without water- I would get up to speak and

emit a sound similar to that of a cat hacking up a fur ball...

Now that I've drawn you into my own private hell, let me assure you that the water crisis was solved and the debate went off without a hitch.

ForonehourNickDePaulo,JeffHoward and I had a meeting of the minds and mouths with the Irish debaters: Pat O'Keefe, Johanna Farrely and Cian Ferriter. Team lreland was as witty as ever in their consideration of the motion, "The American press should exercise restraint in their investigation of the private lives of political candidates."

"We are going to wrap ourselves in the American flag," O'Keefe said, announcing their position. "Especially since that's the country we happen to be in."

While the Irish advocated the importance of free speech and the relevance of candidates' private lives, we argu:d that the me-

dia was an industry driven by the dollar sign.

We said that the trend toward increased intrusion would only get worse if the press did not set ethical limits for itself.

Come to think of it, we gave the media quite a tongue-lashing ... I'm a bit surprised our own paper was willing to give me an open forum after that speech. Perhaps [ should amend my position ... Nah. Speaking in front of a crowd of several hundred people definitely gave me a rush, but perhaps more exciting were the offstage opportunities the series provided.

Debating the Irish national champions was rather daunting at first, but I'd do it again in a minute. It was a great educational and cultural experience. And, as the last speaker in the debate, it gave me a satisfaction similar to the one gained from writing a column: The benefit of the last word.

EDITORIAL

Student votes to shape future of MSCD Lawrence Jones Editor

Student body elections are coming up and everyone is scrambling in an effort to either get their referendum passed or their candidate elected. This is a vital year for students to get involved.

This week The Metropolitanreceived several letters to the editor in support of one candidate or another. We have decided to print none of these as they would constitute free advertising for the candidates and that is not the purpose of the opinion pages. Rather, it is our purpose on these pages to hopefully grant insight to our readers on the issues and those running for student government

offices. Details of the candidates positions are readily available to students so we will not delve that deeply here.

Tom Mestnik and Monica Garcia are running against Matt Taylor and Marcus Dunn for the positions of president and vice president of the student body. Their contest somewhat mirrors the typical bi-partisan battles for public

This is our chance to make a true impact on this campus and the direction it will follow in the years to come. office. The candidates are markedly dissimilar, passionate in their beliefs and worthy of the positions of running the student government. However, none of the candidates warrant that power and influence unless they are voted in by a majority of the student body.

This campus has a very unfortunate

voting record . The typical election here usually has less than 10 percent of the student body actually voting. That means that approximately 1,700 students decide on who will be representing the 17,000studentswhoattend MSCD. Most third world countries have a better turn out than that.

This election could be a drastic turning point for MSCD and it is vital that the student body gets invovled. The Mestnik/ Garcia team will take the student government in one direction while the Taylor/Dunn team will go in another. The students of MSCD must decide which direction they want their school to go.

Also, several referendums are to be voted on that could change the way things are here at MSCD. The mandatory community service requirement for incoming freshman may seem to be of no importance to those of us who will not face such a requirement, but we have an obligation to watch out for the futures of the students who follow us. The idea of charging tuition by the

credit hour could possibly affect how long it takes a student to graduate from MSCD. Those of us who are not graduating this May should be greatly concerned on this issue. There is also the question of expansion of day care on campus. Many students at MSCD -are parents or single parents and they need such a service to assist them in their academic career.

All these issues and candidates are vitally important to us, the student body of MSCD. It is our obligation to discover what each one of them means to us so that we may vote intelligently and decisively for our future and the futures of those who come after us.

If this election is decided by only a few, then we have all let ourselves down.

This is our chance to make a true impact on this campus and the direction it will follow in the years to come. Speak to your classmates, drag them down to the polling stations, argue for your beliefs and then vote for them. Make a difference.

Child care 路must expand to meet student needs Deanna Allen News Editor

Looking for a safe and comfortable place to leave the kids while working and going to school is not easy.

Many students must juggle classes around sitters, parents, grandparents and child care centers (pro-

vided they can afford it) .

In a way, it is easier to find care tor toddlers and preschoolers than school-age c~ildren . There are more options available and the children do not have to be shuffled from day care to school to day care or other after school activities. Compounding this situation are teacher in-service days, conference days and school vacations which never correspond to the college campus calendar.

How many times have you seen a student on campus dragging one or more grade-schoolers around to classes?

If you saw someone with three, it was probably me. Most good child care programs are expensive or not interested in part-time attendance by children who only need care when school is not in session.

I don't want to impose my children on my classmates, but there is no affordable alternative. During my college career, I have worked very hard to schedule classes during the hours my children are in school.

When their classes are cancelled, I either don't go to mine or bring the girls with me. But that alternative is not fair to my classmates or my children, who aren't really ready tor college yet. Sitting quietly for 50 minutes or more is not their specialty. I can't blame them either.

With all of the interesting sights, sounds and activities on campus, surely we could develop a program for children out of school while their parents are in classes.

A DRESS. So what do I want?

It's simple. The same folks who brought us the Auraria Child Care Center and its evening service need to expand to include school-age children during vacation days.

With all of the interesting sights, sounds and activities on campus, surely we could develop a program for children out of school while their parents are in classes.

Use student volunteers from art, music, physical education and any other interested department to create a program for one or two days each month when public school districts like Denver and Jefferson County are out of school.

With volunteers, the costs would be minimal. It could even be considered part of the community service requirement if that is implemented.

Make life easier on students and faculty with school-age children. After all, these children are this campus' students of the future.

LETTERS Inappropriate club members undermine solidarity Edito, Social organizations form for the purpose of camaraderie, mutual support, visibility and political power.

The quality, effectiveness and momentum of such groups partly depend upon common bonds and common goals. Having inappropriate members undermines this solidarity. One has to be suspect of the motivation of individuals who seek to be insurgents in these groups.

Tell me, why would a homosexual seek to be a part of a group that has a strong fundamental opinion that this behavior is not to be condoned? Oh, that's right.

It's the principle that one should be free to join any publicly funded group one desires.

Discrimination is patently wrong when it contains the element of arbitrariness. Sexual preference has no

inherent bearing on an individual's ability to play baseball for a college team. It is, however, in direct conflict with the tradition and practices of some religious groups - it should be noted that I am neither religious nor homophobic.

I suggest that if groups cannot be allowed to form and define themselves by whatever criteria they agree upon, public funding for all special interest groups should be eliminated. Let every individual fend for himself or herself. Let's sacrifice the good of the many to the objections of the self-righteous policy of purists.

Not only is it true that "there is an exception to every rule," but reasonable exceptions can and should be noted and accounted for by anybody that sets policies. Education and experience will bring about genuine tolerance, not insidious legislation.

Robert L. Jeffries, MSCD student

Mestnik's allegiances create a conflict of interest Editor, I am compelled to write this in response to the outrageous acts of vandalism committed by the DSA (DemocraticSocialistsofAmerica)atAurariaonMarch 2, 1992. It was appalling to me and many of my classmates to see the DSA defacing our campus in an effort to make a questionable political statement.

It is important to point out that this reckless stunt was the brainchild of one Tom Mestnik, who just so happens to be the president of the DSA as well as vice president of student government. My discontent is not with the DSA's right to free speech, but rather one of questionable judgment; in that they, without regard to the aesthetics of our campus, defaced and vandalized a large area in front of the Student Union with semipermanent chalk. It appeared that Tom and his band of "merry men" were attempting to draw 200,000 tick marks on the ground, which is allegedly supposed to represent the number of children that have died since the U.S. has stopped bombing in the Middle East.

Now, if you are like me, I must question the authenticity of this statement. Two hundred thousand children?

Not one more? Not one less? I don't hold it against you, Tom, if you believe in the Tooth Fairy.

To conduct oneself in this manner forces us to question the professional judgment of our vice president. Can we be secure knowing that Tom Mestnik, vice president of student government, is also the president of the Democratic Socialists of America; a club that believes in a system that has been a proven failure worldwide.

So I submit to my fellow student body that we call for Tom Mestnik to step down from his position as student body vice president on the basis of an obvious conflict of interests. I must add one final note to my fellow students: It is in our best interest to monitor the actions and the intentions of Tom Mestnik and the Democratic Socialists of America so that our student government may ren:Jain objective in their pursuits and unbiased in their intentions.

Editor, A word of thanks is due Mary Alice Perri, who came forward in a letter to verify an incident involving APS officers that took place in Room 255 D on May 7.

The controversy has two aspects: 1 . AH EC did not look into my questions about what had taken place on that date. If AHEC will not respond to a professor, what chance has a student?

2. APS has effectively stonewalled any evaluation of the incident. On May 8, a student reporter sought a review of the dispatcher's tape and the report of the incident. This was denied because APS deemed such actions were not in the public interest.

Student reporters have yet to find out exactly what happened that day. It appears APS had two radio burglar alarms set up in Rooms 255 C and D. Mary Alice Perri accidentally set them off as she ~losed up for the day. In my Wheat Ridge home, I heard on my scanning radio a voice dispatching APS officers to the scene. This continued for 20 minutes until an APS officer came on the air and said something like, "I'm here now."

Mary Alice Perri said that the officers arrived in less than 10 minutes. I have no reason to doubt she is telling the truth.

I have doubted all along that what I heard was a

'Tasteless' cartoon takes away focus from main issues recorded announcement. First, the broadcasts contained a description of a suspect: a black man in a dark sweatsuit who may have a gun.

My conclusions: either something else was going on or the description had been prerecorded. This last interpretation worries me because I would prefer police wait until they have evidence before seeking a suspect. Nevertheless, I know what I heard.

JoAnn Saker said she believes that APS is doing a fine job. Frankly, I don't know. APS is secretive with its reports. All that is made public is strained through a public relations man. The citizens of the Auraria Campus have a right to much better accountability from the APS. All I ask is that APS follow a state law in making routine daily police reports available to student reporters.

Mary Alice Perri is correct when she said an apology is in order to the APS. An editorial cartoon published in The Metropolitan Feb. 21 was tasteless and also incorrect. This discussion is not about individual APS officers, who have a tough job. Policemen generally will perform much better than the public has a right to expect. This discussion is about administration, staffing, allocation of resources, morale and accountability. I regret that the outrageous student cartoon took the focus away from the larger issues.

Viewpoint articles and letters to the editor express the sole opinion of the writer and not of The Metropolitan nor its staff. The Metropolitan will publish columns written

by MSCD students, faculty and administrators under the heading "Guest Viewpoints" to offer an open forum for issues. Submit your "Guest Viewpoints" to The Metropolitan, the Student Union, Room 156.

1ours, extending the length of time it takes to complete a degree

The accompanying table shows what President Brewer's proposal Tuition by the Credit Hour structure will be. The first and last columns are the number of credits one might have taken in the Fall '91 or Spring '92 semesters. The second column is the tuition rate as it really was during these semesters. The next column shows what the tuition rate would have been if the tuition by the credit hour system had been used instead.

The "Increase Per Hour" column shows the difference between one number of credit hours and the next. Note that for between 1 credit hour and 12 credit hours (part-time for Financial Aid considerations), the tuition rate increase per credit hour is $52.68 - this is the "Tuition by the Credit Hour" idea. Between 13 and 16 credit hours, tuition only goes up $20. per credit hour this is to maintain a limited sort of window like we have now. President Brewer also proposes to eliminate this window over two years - after two years taking an additional hour would cost the same no matter how many credit hours were taken in the first place. For 17 or more credit hours, the tuition rate retum.5 to the $52.68 per additional credit hour.

Lynne Smith The Metropolitan Five-foot Sandra Lopez wants to nab criminals when she graduates. Her short stature won't be a problem; she'll use her big guns - chemistry and a microscope.

Lopez, an MSCD student majoring in chemistry with an emphasis in criminalistics, will use her skills to examine evidence in a crime lab. She is in the right place to learn those skills.

"Metro offers the only formal criminalistics program between the west coast and the Mississippi River," said Richard B. Lehmann, director of the forensic science department.

Drugs, explosives and arson residues as well as glass fragments and paint chips provide clues in whodunit cases. Other evidence that criminalistic experts look at includes fingerprints, body fluids , footprints and tire tracks. Even blood splatters are analyzed to determine from what angle a person was shot.

Lehmann tells his students that crime scenes can be vivid and gory and that if that makes them uncomfortable, then forensic work is not for them.

Because real-life situations can 't be created in the classroom, MSCD requires internships at local crime labs. The Denver

Radio station caters to addictive appetite for books Linda Leyba The Metropolitan

;

The callers act as the characters in novels they read-entertaining, fun, unusual. And the tangled wires, radio equipment and construction dust that decorate their makeshift studio in a local NAPA Auto Parts store, where KDEN - AM, can be found, add to the commotion.

Clu Ramsey and Curtis Ellis combine the characters, books, prizes or bribes, years of experience, and a lifetime of reading with the new radio talk show called "Readaholics Anonymous," which started Feb. 23.

As the Beatles' "Paperback Writer" starts to play, the show begins.

"You won't have to invite anyone over, so you won't get any com chips on your carpet," said Ellis. Today's topic, "Kurt Vonnegut: A Man for Our Decades?" The scene continued as such: "I just actually wanted the free cappuccino," said the first caller, who read one of Vonnegut's books when she was 15.

"I've never called into a radio show. I'm a little nervous," the second caller said.

"What's the woman's name?"

"That's her, Clu," said Ellis as he pointed to his flaming red-haired, spirited companion of IO years.

'Tm a little nervous, too," said Ramsey.

"Let's all be nervous together."

"Do you have any themes you want to recommend?" said the cool-headed Ellis.

"I promise I'll call next week if I can ti; ink of anything," said another caller.

"That's your assignment," said Ramsey.

"Bye." "Thanks for the great idea. This is the first time I've called a show," said a male caller.

"What are you into?" said Ramsey.

"I'm reading a book about someone who calls 900 numbers," said the caller. And so the show went.

Everyone was relieved they had enough callers, and that the fellow did not call who called earlier in the day saying the name of the show, Readaholics Anonymous, poked · fun at those who actually have an addiction to reading books.

Their love for people, radio and books makes for a fun show, filling an intellectually entertaining niche. Their genuine interest in the cailers and their allowing the callers to set the agenda is just their style.

Ramsey and Ellis, both 38 years old, hosted another talk show in Manhattan called "Doin' It In the Dark" for two years, where late-night callers talked about their personal experiences.

Then there was the show from "radio Hell" in Connecticut for one year, where callers were scarce, said Ramsey. Why not a show on books?

y

coo

Curtis Ellis (left) and Clu Ramsey host a talk radio show on KOEN - AM for people with an addiction to books. The show is aired on Sunday nights from 7 to 8 p.m.

"Books are my life," said Ramsey, who is a free-lance writer and writes book reviews.

"Books give awareness ofdifferent things, different ways of thinking," said Ellis, a radio reporter/announcer.

Ramsey thought of the idea six months ago, and Ellis pitched the idea, along with nibbles from advertisers, to KDEN where he works as an announcer. The show is aired on Sunday nights from 7 to 8 p.m.

psycho lyrics from hell.

But the fu n doesn' t stop there.

Can you take it?

Monkey Man revives the spy songs from old TV series with its wacko horns in a track about a guy returning home from war to find evolution reversing itself. The song was inspired by one of Byrne's dreams, which explains a lot. He probably fell asleep watching Get Smart.

Most of Uh-Oh keeps the Jimmy Buffett tropical pop groove swaying right along, but the last two songs catch a wave straight to Mexico.

Tiny Town could very well be the Three Amigos doing Psycho Killer as a Mariachi horn glimmers above the simplistic arrangement of bells and percussion.

Somebody takes you home, leaving you with wild percussion marked by bongos that slowly fade away like the tide (and this review). See ya.

From the cheap seats: a one-man peanut gallery

Surprise hitting boosts error-prone baseball team Will Hinton Sports ·Editor

·-'

I hate to pat myself on the back, but looking back to my preseason baseball preview I said one thing that could end up hurting our Roadrunners was defense. Well, the Great Karmac I'm not, but I pretty much nailed that one on the head.

The pitching staff has done well, as was expected, and the bats, though dormant at times, have produced respectable numbers.

However, on the field the 'Runners have continually done their impression of Bill Buckner in the '86 Series. Through 17 games MSCD had 54 errors - 3 .2 a game, 2.2 above their goal of one per game. These guys have booted more balls than Mike Horan. The opposition, by comparison, has 36 errors so far. The result was a 9-8 record.

In the first three games of their California road trip, the boys in blue had Head Coach Bill Helman seeing red as they committed 18 errors making what should have been a 30 start a 1-2 disappointment. Things improved though as the miscue total dropped to two in the final five of the Cali swing, with a zero in the E column against Biola, Southern California College and in a double dip against Southern Utah ...

One defensive mainstay in the infield has been shortstop Chan Mayher, who despite a high error total (to be expected at that position) is in the starting lineup for his gl~ve, not his bat. Well, at least that was why

he was a starter. Mayber's stick caught fire on the way to California and he moved up from No. 9 in the order to the six-spot. Early on, any hits this kid produced would have been a bonus, now he's third on the team in hitting at .372 ...

Another guy helping the team with his batting is also in there for his glove. Matt Santisteven was put in center for his speed and skill with the mitt, but his .380 average is second among the Roadrunners ...

Mayber's nottheonly guy who got better on the other side of the Rocky Mountains.

Pitchers Gregg "Dog" Browne and Rob Wiggins were non-existent in D-Town, but they made their presence known on the road.

Browne, who sported a slightly less-thanrespectable ERA of 108.0 (with no defensive help whatsoever) before the trip, pitched one and two-thirds strong innings against Christ College, earning his first win and bringing his ERA down to 30.86. One more performance like that and that ERA will be in the single digits. Before the trip the only time Wiggins saw the mound was when he raked it after practice, but after five and twothirds scoreless innings in two appearances against Southern Utah, he' ll probably be seeing a lot more of it...

The rest of pitching staff has pretty much owned the hill to this point and the most impressive hurler has been Brian Hansen (l.93 ERA in 18 and two-thirds innings).

The hard throwing sophomore has been nearly untouchable and has moved from the

bullpen to the starting rotation. The move to start "Nuke" against Christ College was partly experimental, but with a strong performance in that game, not to mention in his four other appearances, Hansen may be there to stay ...

Catcher/DH Andy Dewett got off to a torrid start hitting 424 with four home runs and 16 RBI after nine games. Over the next eight games he cooled off to .323, 4, 18.

Now that he's back from California, aka the place that homers go to die, and in Denver where thin air makes for thick stats, Dewett should rediscover his power stroke ...

Redshirt senior Rusty Befus may not be able to throw thanks to the bum right shoulder that kept him out last year, but it hasn't affected his swing. He has .354 average and leads the team with 24 RBI...

I don't want to beat a dead Roadrunner, but even after a week of R 'n' R in the hot Cali sun, I'm still steamed by the omission of the MSCD women's team from the NCAA tourney field of 32. Politics, not what went on between the backboards, was the deciding factor. The Tricky Dick Nixons in this case were regional voters Nancy Sheehan and Barb Schroeder, both CAC turncoats, and national committee chair Gladys Ziemer. While they probably don't deserve the same fate as Nixon, they should be held accountable in some way for their underhanded tactics ...

I guess all of the basketball misfits who said the Big Eight was the best conference in

college hoops this year are pretty red in the face and sick from all the crow they' re eating. Of the six Little Eight teams that made the 64 team NCAA tournament, only one - Oklahoma State- made the Sweet Sixteen. Kansas, who lostto a team from the " lowly" WAC, became the first No. 1 seed since 1990 not to advance to the final 16.

Who was the last No. l to fall this early?

Oklahoma. Why can't everyone just accept the fact that the ACC was, is and always will be the best hoops conference...

It took a major miracle to get Harlod Miner out of the NCAAs, and it's a shame.

If not for a desperation 3-pointer with .8 seconds left, this year's player of the year would still be playing...

With sixteen hopefuls left at the big dance, here's the Cheap Seats' final four: Duke over Indiana and Ohio State over Georgia Tech. You just don't repeat in this day and age, but Duke, the despicable Devils that they are, isn't just any team. Duke and coach Mike Krzyzewski will leave Minneapolis with championship No. 2 ...

NCAA executive director Dick Schultz in Sports Illustrated on the NCAA 's blatant abuse of the Title IX sex descrimination clause which resulted in 1,025 ignored complaints: "Schultz called the numbers disturbing and said the NCAA would step up its efforts to get schools to comply ... He also said that 'gender equity is a moral issue' for the schools." Translation - "I'm still not 0 going to do anything about it."

THE METROPOLITAN

March 27, 1992

Improved attitude key to Peach's season Mike Robuck The Metropolitan Last season, MSCD outfielder Brendon Peach led his team in almost every category except for one that's not found in a record book - attitude.

"I was a major head case last year," Peach said. "It was like 'Big me, little team.'

Ifl struck out, or we lost a game I thought we should have won, I'd get bent out of shape.

"Unfortunately, I'd take my frustration out on everyone else.

"I've been reading books on keeping a positive attitude. I realize it's not the end of the world if I strike out. I'm going to keep getting my at-bats, so I can't let something

affect my game or my teammates negatively."

A malcontent Peach, who bats and throws left, was nevertheless productive. He led the Roadrunners with a .438 batting average (10th in the nation), 44 runs scored, 17 stolen bases, a .541 on-base average and a .813 slugging percentage. Peach, from Boulder High School, was second on the team with 40 RBI and 12 home runs. All in all a good season, right? Not. "I wasn't having fun last year," said Peach, a 21-year-old senior.

MSCD Coach Bill Helman suspended Peach from a few practices and held him out of one game in the fall.

"Keeping him out of a game probably

hurt him the most because he wants to play," Helman said. "He has a chance to get drafted and I think he realized his combativeness was turning scouts away from him. He's been a team player this spring."

Doug Montgomery is the assistant sports information director at MSCD and official scorekeeper for the 'Runners. Montgomery also attended Boulder High and played four years of baseball at MSCD. "I've known of Brendon for years and I really have seen a change," Montgomery said. "I think Brendon realizes he's too good of a player to Jet outside things bother him.

Baseball requires a player to keep an even keel mentally at all times. He's grown up a lot."

Rusty Befus is a teammate of Peach and played summer ball with him in '87. Befus is a believer in the new Peach.

"Last year he was always angry or upset," Befus said. "The coaches would get on him and he'd get on himself. This year it's different. He was an individual player on our team, this year he's team-orientated.

He's decided to just play ball this year."

Peach made an-county his senior year at Boulder and in '88 was selected to The Daily Camera' s all-decade team in the outfield.

"I saw him play in high school," Helman said. " He was like a man among boys."

But scholarships from the big-time baseball colleges never came.

"I considered offers from junior colleges in Kansas and Oklahoma and I got an offer from Metro," Peach said.

"I was playing summer ball at a regional tournament in Cherry Creek when a guy from Southern Idaho Junior College talked to me. Our team went to Texas to play in the nationals and they sent me papers there offering a full-ride scholarship. I signed them and sent them back."

"I didn't even know what Idaho was," he said. "I was so anxious to go and then when I got there I was homesick."

Peach made all-region at Southern Idaho his first year while hitting around .350 for the season. He hit in the 350s his sophomore year, but didn' t repeat as all-region.

His two-year stint over, Peach needed to find another baseball hat to wear.

"I came back to Colorado and was just playing summer ball," he said. "Greg Smith, the assistant athletic director at Metro, was umpiring some of my games and he kept asking me ifl was going to come here."

Peach came to MSCD and declared an adult fitness major. He said he lost some credits when he transferred and is a year away from graduating.

On the field, Peach established a school record in 1991 with a hit in 27 consecutive games. He was named to the first team NCAA Far West regional team and was a third team all-American selection.

"The hitting str~ak felt good," he said.

"Usually I don't like to know my statistics, but around 12 games someone told me about the streak. I knew it would end, but I felt terrible when it happened. I want to break it this year."

Peach moved from his position of choice, center field , to right field this season because Helman felt the move would make the outfield stronger. He batted lead-off last season, but now is third in the batting order.

"He was a great lead-off hitter," Helman said. "But he was knocking in so many runs that we felt he would be more productive

Senior right fielder Brendon Peach. hitting third."

Hitting is Peach's forte. The 5-10, 175pound Peach has a slugger's numbers but is a true hitter. Another look at Peach's statistics from last season shows that he led the team in walks as well with 24. " He hits to all fields," Montgomery said.

"Brendon is very selective at the plate and if the pitchers don't pitch to him, he walks."

Peach has a shot at being drafted, Montgomery said.

"He has what we call the total package," Montgomery said. "He is a good outfielder with a decent arm, he has good speed and he' s a great hitter. Baseball teams draft college kids on potential. He's got the potential."

Coach Helman also thinks Peach could be drafted: "I'm going to push for him. You never know what position the major league clubs are looking to fill, but he' s a good allaround player."

Peach doesn't care who drafts him.

"I better say the Cubs for my mom's sake, but I could care less as long as I'm drafted. If the Cleveland Indians drafted me I'd wear their hat and uniform with pride. I would be an Indian for life - unless they traded me," he laughed.

This year, Peach got off to a great start but has tailed off (by his standards). However, his stats are still enviable: .392 batting average, 11 stolen bases, 26 runs scored, 18 walks (all team highs), and 3 homeruns.

The highlight of Peach's season thus far is a 6-for-6 performance, including a tworun homer and six stolen bases, in a doubleheader against the University of Denver. When Helman gave his team the following Monday off, Peach spent his day off driving from Boulder to the batting cage, where he hit for two hours with a teammate.

"I think God has given me a lot of talent, but I try to do more than anyone else," Peach said. "It's like that saying, 'If you ' re not practicing hard, someone somewhere else
