MSCD students gathered near the flagpole on the Auraria Campus to protest a recent proposal to charge tuition by the credit hour on April 9. The proposal still hasn't been approved by the MSCD Board of Regents.

Frustration and anger filled the air as students gathered April l l to protest the tuition-by-the-credit-hour proposal.

'Tm here to get an education," said junior music major Flora Young to the concerned and cheering crowd. "I'm paying to get an education - not just with money, but with effort and energy ... stop tuition increases!"

Over 500 students protested President Brewer' s proposal, one of the largest protests in MSCD's history.

Students carrying signs and wearing blue ribbons surrounded the flagpole at noon. Many took turns at the microphone voicing their concerns and opinions about tuition by the credit hour and tuition increases.

"The concept of a four-year college," MSCD Student Govemmetn President Chip Wiman said, "what happened to the concept of a four-year college? A five-year college?"

Voices stressed resentment ranging from the increasing financial burden of tuition increases to the reluctance offulltime students who would have to graduate a year or more later because of the additional expense tuition by the credit hour would impose upon them.

"Do we want an elite institution where only the wealthy can come?" saio Joe Navarro, spokesman for MEChA. "This used to be a poor neighborhood, and this college was built promising education. What's the purpose of having a community college if no one can afford to come here?" see Protest page 7

Quilt shares joys, sorrows of AIDS victims' families Kenneth Schwartz The Metropolitan Mark Jacobson's brother, Joel, died of AIDS last year.

When Mark heard about the Auraria quilting bees on a Denver TV news broadcast, he called his parents in Colorado Springs. He wanted them all to get together to make a quilt panel for Joel.

Mark and his wife then joined Bob and Muriel Jacobson at the St. Francis Center Tuesday to sew a panel for the AIDS Memorial Quilt. The family felt good about the effort, that read: Joel Robert Jacobson August 30, 1957 - June 11, 1991 ...and the spirit soars as a bird set free ...

"As we looked at the other quilts, we

...

realized how many other people were affected by AIDS," Muriel said as she looked around the room at others sewing on their quilts.

Fighting back tears, she explained the quote on the quilt. "Itjustfithirn.

He was a free spirit."

Not everyone at the quilting bee had a direct link to someone who had I.lure GregitTome I The Metropolitan died of AIDS. Jeff Milich (left) and Billi Mavromatis Jan Laland, president of Golden Key, the National Honor three days of sewing.

Society chapter at MSCD, helped plan the Laland said she didn't know anyone who

had died of AIDS before this event.

"But I do now," she said, "I got to know him by working on his panel."

The man's wife had brought photos to the bee, which Lalond then sewed onto his panel.

"It's been fun," Laland said. " I can't wait to see it next week," when the panels from the Auraria quilting bees will be displayed with the national version of the quilt at the DU Fieldhouse.

Billi Mavromatis, the organizer of the quilting bees at Auraria, looked back on three days of hard work with satisfaction. "People had this look of wonderment on their faces," she said, and happily reported that nine new panels had been created from the effort.

Students to protest discrimination policy A protest rally against MSCD' s new anti-discrimination policy April 16 was expected to draw a big turnout, according to Jeff Davidson, acting president of the Auraria Lesbian and Gay Alliance.

At issue is whether religious clubs and ROTC should be allowed to discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation while having access to student fees and facilities.

"We want to let the students know that the administration is funding clubs that discriminate," Davidson said. "A lot of students don't know that this is going on."

Davidson said that Chip Wiman and Tom Mestnik, MSCD student government's president and vicepresident, would address the rally. Liz Friot, the president of the faculty senate, would also speak, Davidson said.

In a related matter, Davidson said his grievance against Menorah Ministries and MSCD had been dismissed.

The matter had been turned over to Colorado's attorney general, who ruled there was no legal basis for the grievance, Davidson said.

Davidson filed the grievance when Rick Drebenstedt, the minister of Menorah Ministries, told Davidson he couldn't become a member of the religious club because he was gay, Davidson said.

Fraternity writes in student senators Martin Rush Staff Writer

One MSCD fraternity will control six of the 25 student Senate seats next year.

Six members of Alpha Eta Rho, a coed aviation fraternity, won the seats by running as write-in candidates.

Nick Simpson, president of Alpha Eta Rho, said that the fraternity had no specific agenda to pursue.

"Members ran because they felt it would look good on their resume," Simpson said.

"They felt it would be good to get involved and learn what's going on."

Simpson noted that the fraternity had received some bad publicity recently after a

grievance was filed against it by an anonymous pledge, alleging hazing. The case is still pending before the Office of Student Activities.

"We have to protect the interests of our fraternity," Simpson said.

In addition to the Alpha Eta Rho contingent, thirteen other people won senate seats as write-in candidates.

Money concerns voiced at CSA meeting Rebecca Johnston The Metropolitan

Colorado college and university students are concerned about how their student fees are being used, members of the Colorado Student Association said April 11.

Several other concerns including tuition caps, financial aid, cultural diversity and student representation on state boards were added to the association's 1992-93 platform.

Thirty-two representatives from nine Colorado campuses met at MSCD April 11 to create the lobby's agenda for the next school year.

Also at this meeting, MSCD student Barb Ferrell was elected vice president for campus affairs and Shane Nicholson from the University of Colorado at Boulder was elected the organization's president.

Now that the lobbying group's platform has been established, representatives will begin researching the issues. After their findings are completed, the group will present their issues to members of the Colorado

"This year's platform is excellent because it is consistent with last year's," said Stephanie Brisnehan, outgoing president.

Each student representative group brought its own platform proposals to the Saturday meeting. MSCD's five voting

members presented platform proposals on financial aid, insurance, minority issues and hazing.

Each voting member of the association repres~nts 2,500 students from the nine colleges and universities represented by the CSA. 0

Student Senate wraps up semester Kristopher Evans The Metropolitan

The MSCD student Senate must decide which issues to tackle in its new coalition with the Colorado Student Association, and a senator was ratified despite concerns about his letter of intent.

Barb Ferrill of CoPIRG said that MSCD is now part of the Colorado Student Asso-

ciation, a student lobbyist group.

The MSCD Senate would need to find five students to act as voting delegates at CSA and possibly replace the temporary representatives: Barb Ferrill, Tom Mestnik, Lucian LeMak, Jeanette Martinez and Jennifer Nikolaeff.

CSA met with the Colorado state colleges April 11 in the Student Union.

Mike Rubottom was ratified unanimously as a student senator. Rubottom was going to join Alpha Eta Rho, an MSCD academic fraternity. He said he decided not to because

ofrecent hazing allegations. This was one of the reasons he wanted to become a student senator, he said.

Ashor Somo, a newly ratified senator, said he wondered about Rubottom 's interests. Rubottom's motives seemed "selfish and self-serving" because of his letter of intent, in which Rubottom said he wanted to enhance his resume by joining the senate, Somo said.

James Norris, acting senate presidentprotem, said he saw nothing wrong with Rubottom's "enlightened self-interest." 0

CAMPUS CRIME~~~~~~~~~~ Sexual assault reported

-

A 15-year-old girl told Auraria Public Safety March 26 that she was sexually molested at a bus stop at West ColfaxAvenue and 10th Street on the Auraria Campus.

The girl said she and her sister were sitting inside the bus stop enclosure waiting for a bus March 25 when the assault occurred shortly before 11 p.m. She asked a man who was also waiting for a bus a question about the bus schedule. The man approached her, grabbed her breast and exposed himself.

The girl said she resisted and the man ran east on Colfax.

She told officers that she had seen the man at the same bus stop during October 1991 and he had exposed himself then, too.

She was alone during that incident and ran from the scene, she said.

She described the man as a white male, about 40 years old, 5-feet-6, 140 pounds, with blond, thinning hair. He was wearing faded blue jeans with a black and red checkered shirt at the time of the assault.

An APS officer broadcast the description of the suspect and later turned the information over to the Denver police sexual assault unit.

Kathleen Mc Guire-Mahony, acting chair of the department of nursing and health management, said she learned that the files were missing March 20. She told police that she delayed reporting the crime because she wanted to check other areas in case the files had been misplaced.

The files were kept in a file cabinet in her office, she said. Duplicate keys to the cabinet are kept in the reception area of Room 255 E. Most employees ofnursing and health services have access to the reception area, McGuire-Mahony told APS .

APS said they have no suspects or leads in the case.

Councilwoman's son arrested APS arrested the son of Denver City Councilwoman Cathy Donohue April 10 on a Denver warrant for investigation of aggra-

vated assault.

John D. Donohue, 26, of Denver, was arrested near the parking garage at about 8:30 a.m., APS spokesman Jim Ferguson said.

Donohue' s girlfriend reported the alleged assault to Denver police April 3.

She told police that she and Donohue were en route to the Auraria Campus when the assault occurred.

The pair had argued and Donohue grabbed her hand and would not Jet her out of the car, she said.

According to reports, the argument escalated. Donohue grabbed her backpack and threw it out of the car, then grabbed her sunglasses and broke them, she said. She said she slapped Donohue and he hit her in the mouth with his fist, breaking two of her teeth.

Bail was set at $2500.

Donohue is scheduled for a May 8 court appearance.

A tip from APS: Officers only doing their jobs The end of spring semester often brings out the "party-animal" in people and officers routinely stop more motorists on campus, said APS spokesman Jim Ferguson. "lf you are stopped by a police officer, be polite and understanding," Ferguson said. " Officers are only doing their jobs and are trained to be on guard until they safely assess the person they have stopped."

CAMPUS Scholarship walk planned for MSCD women athletes Brian Heider The Metropolitan

All segments of the campus and community will reach out for a common cause on May 2, when MSCD will sponsor the fourth annual Walk for Women's Athletics.

The event will raise money for scholarships for the following MSCD women's intercollegiate athletic programs: Volleyball, Basketball, Soccer, Swimming and Tennis.

"Women's teams have excelled this year and put Metro's name out there which is even more of a reason to come out and support them," said Therese Lask, MSCD coordinator for athletic fundraising.

This year's walk is a scenic three-mile stroll around the Auraria Campus that starts and finishes at the Student Union.

The participants will gather on Saturday morning at 10:00 a.m. to walk for 30 min-

utes around the course for as many laps as they can.

Past walks have helped women's athletics achieve great success, including a regional seed in NCAA playoff competition in volleyball and the 24-3 record in basketball.

"Last year we raised $7 ,000 and we want to at least double it this year," she said.

Sandi Jones, event chairperson, said planning will make this the most successful walk ever.

"This year we are really organized and have the entire campus and off-campus community actively involved," she said.

Jones said she has already had a good phone response but needs more students to get involved.

Lask said this year's committee wanted a more successful walk than last year, so they involved the business community.

'The four sponsors this year are the Boiler Room, Sporting Woman, Associated Stu-

dents ofMSCD and the Hotel Denver," she said.

Lask said that the Hotel Denver will be giving a free brunch to all participants at the end of the walk while other sponsors have donated prizes that will be given away.

Jones said because the sponsors have donated everything needed for the walk; 100 percent of the money raised will go to scholarships.

Jones said event participation goes beyond the business community.

"The children at the Auraria Child Care Center have agreed to do some chalk artwork along the course to give the walk a more festive look this year," she said.

"We are giving prizes for the youngest and oldest walker, so these two people will automaticailyreceivegifts,"Lasksaid. "We are doing this because we want to get everyone to bring their kids and grandparents."

Every participant will receive a free t-

shirt that was designed by the Institutional Advancement Office.

Additonal prizes include dinners, weekend getaways and Roadrunners team shirts from the athletic departments.

JulieRummel,oneofthefourrecruitrnent chairpersons, is in charge of making this walk the largest ever.

"This year we are contacting each department on campus to get someone in that particular department to act as a team leader," she said.

Rummel said that the team leaders' job is to get fellow members of their departments; family and friends to join their team and to keep track of their teams' pledge forms.

"Faculty, administrators and students are all working together for this important cause," she said. "It's greatto see the whole campus working on one project for Metro."

Rummel said the walk' s initial success is due, in part, because not just one person is throwing everything together at once.

"We have an enormous staff this year with the addition of subcommittees," she said. "Several people are dealing with team recruitments, one person is working on publicity, one on laying out the course, and one is working with the Hotel Denver to make the post-walk brupch a success."

Anyone interested that is not on a team can call Rummel at 556-4618 for a pledge 0 form.

Protest---- Q u i l t - - - - - - - - - - from page 1

trom page 1

Wiman said he helped stage the protest because he wants the student voices to be heard.

"The student should always be included in the envelope," he said. Students shouldn't have to protest to get the changes they need, but that changes should come about because it is the right thing to do, he said.

The actual proposal went to Brewer's desk the following Friday morning. Tuition by the credit hour would mean a 4 7 percent increase for full-time student tuition.

A permanent window enabling students to receive free classes above 11 hours is sought.

Mavromatis said the quilting bees drew people from all m~er the Denver area, including Auraria students as well as some non-students.

Mary D1,1ell, a nurse practitioner at Denver General Hospital, worked on a panel for the late Kelly Rohlk. Rohlk, a Colorado AIDS Project volunteer, had worked on panels at the last quilting bee at Auraria in 1990.

Duell was sewing a Mickey Mouse sweatshirt onto Rohl.k's panel, because he liked the Disney character. "You feel sad," she said, "But it's good to see people

helping each other. It's a very therapeutic activity."

David Lee Chiles Jr. died of AIDS in August, 1991. Hismother,Pat,cametothe St. Francis Center to remember him and work on bis panel, which friends had started a week earlier. Chiles' panel consisted of his photo and about 30 white hearts with messages from his friends and family.

"It seems like he's right here," Pat said, as she worked with a friend on the panel.

As she looked at her son's panel, she pointed out one special message written in an uneven, childlike style, "I love you Q Daddy. Darjae. I miss you too."

E91/S92 Pr12iedions Cr

I am pleased to address the Board on the proposed Tuition by the Credit Hour Plan. Attached is a brief summary of materials that I believe support my position that this proposa has not been researched adequately by Metropolitan State College of Denver and therefore, should not be implemented.

If the Board decides to endorse this proposal, I have a

compromise plan for consideration that I believe is equitable and acceptable to the students. I will attempt to answer any questions you may have during my presentation, and will be available for further inquiries.

TUITION BY THE CREDIT · HOUR COMPROMISE PLAN from Chip Wiman Because very little data has been compiled to support this structural change I am proposing that MSCD implement a one-year trial program which utilizes President Brewer's model, with the following two exceptions: 1. If the model proves to be financially detrimental to the college after one year or if academic programs suffer a negative impact, MSCD would revert to the current system.

2. If the proposal is successful, it would automatically go into effect with a permanent $20 window.

I am also proposing the MSCD perform an annual audit and review of any tuition structure, to determine fiscal impact on the institution, students' costs, and the effect upon enrollment, retention, and graduation.

1. These projections assume that the class enrollment patterns of the students do not

change after initial change projected by the administration due to implementation of Tuition by the Credit Hour with the $20/Cr Hr window from 12-18 Cr Hr. 2. The percentage of students taking each number of Credit Hours is based solely on guesses <Yn the part of the administration. They take into account only the historica increase in enrollment and that a percentage (one of the guesses) of all students who face an increase will drop back to taking less credit hours (another guess). No account is taken of students who face a decrease increasing their classload.

ASMCD Student Government's Tuition by the Credit Hour Survey If you've seen the numbers President Brewer has proposed you know that they are different than

the number here. His numbers are the result of guesses about how students will react to tuition by the credit hour. By using the numbers we are, we will be able to calculate what the tuition by the credit hour rate would have to be based on what you tell us your reaction would be. Our calculation will not be exact because we cannot survey every student on campus, but if you give us honest answers w can eliminate a great deal of the guesses President Brewer relied on.

If you want more information regarding this proposed survey, please contact MSCD Student Government at 2797 or come by ST 340B

- - - - LINGERING QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS - • Effect upon specific departments, i.e. Physical Education, Art, and Music. Has there been any research to determine this effect? If students have to pay more for an 'elective' type course, will less students enroll in such courses? What impact does this have on the department?

• Financial aid concerns Will students receive a larger financial aid packet? If students need a larger award, will less students receive money? Will the financial aid office be alfle to handle additional workload without additional personnel?

• Student reaction Will students take less classes per semester, thereby extending the time to graduate?

• Faculty reaction If certain departments suffer a decrease in enrollment, will faculty lose their jobs?

• Community reaction Does this proposal make MSCD less accessible and less affordable?

• Fiscal impact Will MSCD lose or gain revenue? Is it fiscally prudent, in light of these financially troubling times, to change a tuition structure?

Students and student government should mind their own business on religion Editor, The current flap at MSCD concerning Menorah Ministries and the Gay and Lesbian Alliance is typical of the problems that result when 1) people don't mind their own business and 2) they ask the government to mind it for them. If the Alliance and SAC AB have their way, a club will be denied office space fqr taking a stand on moral grounds, and all in the name of "fairness" and "non-discrimination." How ironic.

In our enlightenment we ask -the government to force us all to fit the same mold. The foreseeable result of these ever-widening non-discrimination laws

is that anyone who dares to be different (especially on moral princiPiles) will be immediately and effectively suppressed.

Goodbye diversity, goodbye tolerance, hello Brave New World. Oh sure, you can follow your beliefs, but not on publicly funded property. Well, what is publicly funded property, if not property owned by the people themselves? Are we being hypocritical yet? I suppose it's typical of a society that constantly moans about the right to privacy, then flaunts the most intimate and private things in broad daylight.

Let's talk about "moral" behavior.

Who can blame homosexuals for wanting to "come out of the closet" when the

bedroom activities of heterosexuals have been filling television and movie screens (and courtrooms) for years? I say let's keep private things PRIVATE! The answer to the problem of club funding (or not, in this case) is to simply let clubs choose their own members (gasp! I'm sanctioning discrimination !).

Institutional funding of clubs means institutional control of clubs, and this is supposed to be a free country (yes, even on college campuses). Not only that, stop using student fees to support any clubs. Let the club members 路pay their own bills. I think student fees are high enough already; why should my money go to clubs to which I do not

belong?

Better yet, let's invite Pat Schroeder to come speak at our protest rallies so we can have fun trying to legislate our respective moralities right down each other's throats.

Seriously, folks, why don't we mind our own business and quit passing so many laws? Let's get the government off our backs and out of our wallets.

Above all, let's try to love (or at least respect) one another despite the fact that none of us is perfect. It might be tough, but I think we can do it.

Christians should condemn practices, not people, but Bible forbids homosexuality Editor, This is in response to Jeff Davidson's letter in the April 3 edition regarding the Bible and homosexuality. First of all, I do not belong to any religious organization on campus. However, I am a Christian .and I believe that the Bible is the word of God. That is why I am addressing the issue of what God and the Bible do in fact say about homosexuality since Mr. Davidson believes that "Jesus Christ

never said a word about the subject. " Many people , including some Christians, try to legitimize homosexuality as an acceptable alternative lifestyle.

In a liberal society it is easy for Christians to tolerate some immoral behaviors. But society does not set the criterion for God's law. And the fact that "1O percent of the world population all throughout history has been homosexual" does not make homosexuality

right. Homosexuality is strictly forbidden in Scripture (see Leviticus 18: 22, 20:13).

Many homosexuals believe that their desires are normal and that they have a right to express them. But God does not oblige nor inspire us to satisfy all our desires. Those desires that violate his laws are sin and must be controlled. The Bible specifically calls homosexual behavior sin (see Romans 1 :26-27; I T imothy 1 :10; I Corinthians 6:9-11). How-

ever, God is loving and does forgive sinners who repent, including those who commit homosexual acts. Only through Christ can their lives be transformed.

Christians must be careful, however, to condemn only the practice, not the people. Christians should love and accept people regardless of their background, yet without condoning what God strictly forbids.

GUEST VIEWPOINT White-male bashing wrong response to years of oppression In last week's edition of The Metropolitan, April 10, I read a letter by Gail Miller that laid all of society's ills squarely on my doorstep. It turns out I'm one of those pesky white males about which Gail wrote, "What is wrong with our society that affects our colleges is what is called the white, middle-class male." Apparently, Gail feels that there is a white-male conspiracy firmly in place, one that is cruelly designed to hold in poverty all but males of fair complexion. In her letter, she wrote about a place called the "Ivory Tower," which I assume serves as the headquarters for my fellow white male conspirators.

But Gail is not the only one who has grown spiteful of white males. Lately, I've noticed a lot of anger directed at white males in society. Surely, our dubious record regarding equal rights has had a lot to do with it. However, I simply don't feel that it is possible to combat racism and sexism by merely redirecting it.

We too often feel that the oppressed are somehow better than their oppressors. In ancient times, for example, the Christians were occasionally oppressed by the Romans (witness emperors Nero and Diocletian).

Indeed, many Christians became martyrs. However, when the tables turned and Christianity became domi-

nant, many Christians showed the same intolerance toward others that they had once been subject to. If the oppressed hold that their oppressors are subhuman, then they argue against equality.

Women and minorities (particularly blacks) have been subjected to intolerable and inhumane treatment throughout the ages. It is understandable that they are angry. But it would be wrong to assume that these injustices will disappear by exercising intolerance toward whites (particularly white males). One of America's greatest men, Martin Luther King, spoke precisely aboutthis issue when, in his "I Have a Dream" speech, he said: "In the process of gaining our (AfricanAmericans) rightful place we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline." So far, with few exceptions, neither side (the wh ite-male majority or the traditionally oppressed female and minority members of society) has risen to the level King spoke of. The chasms that exist between various groups in society can not be explained by superficial analysis.

In 1968, shortly after Martin Luther King was assassinated, an Iowa schoolteacher named Jane Elliot constructed an experiment that tried to examine the causes and results of discrimination (racial or otherwise). She divided her third-grade class into two groups - the superior blue-eyed children and the inferior brown-eyed children. She made the browneyed students wear collars so that they could be easily identified at a distance. In explaining the results of her experiment, she said: "I watched what had been marv~lous, cooperative, wonderful, thoughtful children turn info nasty, vicious, discriminating little third-graders in the 1space of 15 minutes."

The message is simple -we all have the capacity to hate, we all have the capacity to dominate and control our fellow human beings. The goal, then, is simple. It is time that we heed the wisdom of King's words and elevate the struggle for equality to a higher plane. It's time to end the self-destructive rhetoric and work together to reach real solutions. The evils of society cannot be traced to a single source. There is no Ivory Tower.

Taco Bell cartoon points out latent racism in society L

Editor, I am writing to respond to the cartoon Thom's Corner in the April 3 issue of The Metropolitan. The cartoon was a caricature of MSC D's President Brewer and read: "I can't understand why the Hispanics are so against me ... I do know how to run to the border," depicting Brewer holding a Taco Bell bag.

First of all, I resent the "run for the border" campaign that Taco Bell has undertaken. It sickens me that this racist ad is so widely accepted and unoffensive to people. People, and even Chicanos, are not offended by such blatant racism . I must remind you that the 'border' was set by the United States after our land was so graciously "annexed." Our people are looked at as foreigners in our own land, comprende-OUR LANDI We did not cross the border, the border crossed us!

Secondly, I hate the term "Hispanic." According to the World Book Encyclopedia, the term Hispanic means of Spanish descent. This is an inaccurate interpretation of our history. Granted, our people were raped and

killed by the Spanish; I feel no urge to deny the indigenous blood flowing through my veins to accept the name of our oppressors. I am not Spanish, Hispano, Hispanic-American, Spanish-American or any other kind of hyphenated-American. I am Chicano!

I think that Thom's intent was to address the issues that have been raised by the Chicano community so I'll elaborate on those issues: We want the reinstatement of the Chicano Studies program at MSCD. We want history classes to stop perpetuating the colonizers' lies and start teaching the truth. We want more classes with Chicano/Mexicano perspectives taught. We want more Chicanos and people of color in all levels of higher education. We don't want these concerns to be ignored, swept under the rug, compromised or white-washed. You can call President Brewer at 556-4559 if you would like to express your concern about these issues. i Que Viva La Raza!

The Metropolitan guilty of childishness, says student Editor,

:: -

Until Monday of this week I had thought Editor Lawrence Jones was on vacation since last week's paper dipped to such monumental lows.

With the recent student government elections, MSCD students have purchased a casket and grave plot for their student government. I ask the editors of this newspaper to refrain from the same acquisition, My solicitation of caution births from utter disbelief in last week's Metropolitan (April 10).

From a recent April 3 editorial written by Lawrence Jones, I had the impression everyone was tired of childish student leadership. I thought the editor of this paper wanted us to be ~ of the students who

represent us. Does this not include the student newspaper?

Via Martin Rush, Tom Mestnik claims the diadem as chief buffoon. In the article titled "Students contest elections," Mestnik cites me as a person to be pitied and inherent of a small mind.

The accomplishments of such unnewsworthy and juvenile lashes are few. My concern is the leadership this college has elected and the medium that reports it.

Beyond amusement that the person who represents me also flogs me (forgive him, for he knows not how to lead) is the monotony of my college paper who reports it. Such journalism belongs in a tabloid, such namecalling belongs in a sandbox.

Alpha Eta Rho pledge class denies hazing charges Editor, On behalf of the Spring Pledge Class of Alpha Eta Rho, I am writing to express our amazement at the April 3, 1992, article quoting an anonymous source that we were hazed.

At the beginning of the pledge period, we were all informed of the school's hazing policy and were given a written copy of it in our pledge packets. Beyond that, we each signed a statement that if an activity we didn't like was going on we were not required to participate in it and at any time we could talk to an officer or member of the fraternity about any problem. In fact, it is the responsibility of any pledge who feels that his/her rights have been violated to immediately report the incident to an officer of the chapter.

Had the anonymous complainant followed the

fraternity procedures, any perceived problem could have been dealt with at the time and the pledge might have gone on to become a proud member of this professional fraternity.

All of the activities in which we participated were designed to build character and create a sense of camaraderie. This closeness allows us to work together effectively in the many worthwhile projects which the fraternity organizes. For instance, the Easter Food Lift, when we pool our knowledge and resources and fly to the rural communities of Colorado to deliver food to the needy, the Safety Symposium and Careers Day.

club! Maybe the gay and lesbians should check out the religious clubs before they make accusations.

Mr. Davidson, you said that the Bible doesn't say anything about homosexuality. What about 1 Corinthians 6:9? "Do you not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders will inherit the kingdom of God." See also what Christ has to say in Mark 7:20-21 regarding sexual immorality. You are right in saying that Jesus told us to spread his love to others. But the Bible also says to "flee from sexual immorality" (Ephesians 5:3). God's love extends to all people. At lnterVarsity we extend God's love to all people, too.

But we encourage people to live moral lives according to Biblical standards. We are never against gay and lesbian people, we believe that their lifestyle is wrong.

So, why don't the gay and lesbians come to lnterVarsity. You will not be turned away or discriminated against!

Ice-T's Body Count brings L.A. streets to the 'burbs Jenny Jenny Music Editor Just when Tipper Gore thought it was safe to tum on her radio again, Ice-T reemerges to sfap her back to reality while putting some color on her little white suburban cheeks. No, Ms. Gore. the world isn't all peachy keen.

"At this moment there are more black men in prison than in college." (A Statistic) Body Count was born in South Central L.A. and features virulent, scorching tracks that put rock's glamour boys like Bon Jovi to shame and would even make Charles Manson blush. Powerful guitars and a killer drummer molest the listener with brutal tracks sure to make every stuffed shirt recoil in horror. BC smacks you in the face with the shock value of Madonna meshed with the searing reality of the streets.

Although the nihilism may seem pro-

foundly overdone to white-picket-fence Tipper, BC offers a view from the other side of the billy club.

Smoked Pork opens the disk with lce-T confronting a cop and shooting him dead before leaping into Body Count' s In The House, an awesome, hard-driving track.

Harsh guitars build as sirens blare in the background. Ice-T's urgent vocals are more vicious than his typical laid-back rap deliveries.

Cop Killer erupts with a quick, ferocious pace behind a severe lashing out at the men in blue: "DIE, DIE, DIE PIG, DIE! F--THE POLICE" (repeated l 0 times).

On their self-titled debut release, Body Count presents the reality and severity of life in the slums in an emotive manner that Jets you know that the problem is much more than a 30-second sound bite on gang violence. It shoves reality down your throat.

KKK Bitch features a strong funk groove

Everyday is Earth Day At Kinlco 's, we do everything we can to help conserve and recycle our precious resources. You can help by talcing such simple steps as using recycled paper, making two-sided copies to cut down on paper waste, and placing your discards in our recycling bins. Let's all do our share to protect our planet.

as the sky/You're kissing your life goodbye/You think it's a game that you play/But the winners Jose it all some day."

The track sure to tip Tipper over the edge is Mom ma's Gotta Die Tonight, a song about breeding hatred in our children. The song tracks a little boy whose mother instilled hatred in him by telling him not to trust white people. Although the content will turn some people off, the music is still engaging and the track is one of the best on the disk. "But now I find that she has left me dumb and blind/Poisoned , twisted and destroyed my mind/ She taught me things that simply were not true/She taught me hate for race that's why I hate you."

Body Count will keep Tipper Gore and her homies frantic for a long time but it brings valid viewpoints to light. As Ice-T said on The Oprah Winfrey Show, it wouldn't be a problem if this music stayed within the barriers of the ghettos. Only after wbitebread kids got their hands on the music and enjoyed it did the parental advisory board take heed. ''The problem isn' t the lyrics on the records, it's the fear of the white kids liking a black artist. But the real problem is the fear of the white girl falling in love with a black man" (The Real Problem).

and screaming beat behind Ice-T 's rap-style singing before the chorus erupts into speedmetal madness. The track is about KKK women who "party" with BC: "So we get buck wild with the white freaks/We show them how to really work the white sheets/I know her daddy'll really be after me/When his grandson's named Little lce-T." The animosity isn't entirely directed at politics. The Winner Loses aims its fire at drug abuse in a pensive track with melodic, remorseful guitars under T's vocals. BC brings tension and grit to the song while keeping the melody and reflective mood prominent in the mix: "You wanna get high

'Sleepwalkers' will leave audiences snoozing in its predictable suspense buildup s, bad-guy/good-guy chase scenes and gruesome violence.

If anything, the movie is a convenient playground for the special effects technicians that worked on it. Much of the film involves the intense and dramatic transformations that Mary and Charles go through when becoming the morbid cat creatures. Though the special effects are honorable, they are certainly not stunning enough to carry the film through. Sleepwalkers becomes a burdensome barrage of hocus pocus.

...

Sometimes a good horror flick can be just what the doctor ordered. Thank God, Silence of the Lambs is on videotape - it provides a strong excuse to avoid the new Stephen King flick, Sleepwalkers. This movie truly takes a walk ... with the ridiculous.

Mary Brady (Alice Kridge) and her son, Charles (Brian Krause), are the newly arrived residents in a small sleepy town in Indiana. They seem to be friendly neighbors, but behind closed doors they transform into evil creatures . .They are Sleepwalkers, supernatural beings with human features that are capable of changing into demonic, furless felines.

Charles and Mary must feed on virtuous young women to stay alive. The would-be victim in this case is Tanya Robertson (Madchen Amick), Charles' high school classmate. The Brady's dinner depends on the capture of this girl, and it is up to Charles to lure Tanya away from her safe abode at home and into his clutches.

Charles, a handsome young man, woos Tanya with his charm. What starts as an innocent picnic in the country becomes a date from hell. Fortunately, Tanya is the type of girl who doesn't go down without a fight. With the help of Clovis, the Attack Cat, she challanges the monstrous Bradys.

WHITE MEN CAN'T JUMP LADYBUGS THUNDERHEART

Comedienne Paula Poundstone is on top of the world, but little more than a decade ago her future seemed to be in the restaurant business.

Poundstone waited tables at the International House of Pancakes in Orlando, Fla., but lasted only a couple of months out front until she found her true calling.

"I much prefer busing tables, which I'm very good at," Poundstone said in an interview last week from her L.A. home. "And I guess I figured when a person's so strong busing, why should they wait tables?"

Poundstone went on to busing in Boston, and her ideal future seemed to be working her way up the ladder to manager. Luckily for us, she looked toward another career once her friends at the restaurant went their own ways.

While busing in Boston, Poundstone came across a flier announcing auditions for standup comics. Although the flier set the fire, it wasn't the audition that sparked her career, it was working open-mic nights at clubs in Boston and later in San Francisco.

"When I was little, I wanted to be Carol Burnett," Poundstone explained. "I wanted to do what she did."

Poundstone developed a following and since then has gone on to become one of the foremost stand-up comics. Although much

Paula Poundstone appears at the Events Center 8 p.m. April 17. has changed since her days as a waitress, Poundstone still keeps in touch with friends from the restaurant and hasn't lost sight of her past. In fact, some of her best friends are former teachers she had before dropping out of high school in Massachusetts. She does an annual benefit for the school and visits a couple of times a year.

Poundstone shared some strong views about politics and voting during her recent telephone interview.

"People who think when they don 't vote, by the way, that they 're making a statement.

Clearly the statement has not been heard.

Clearly it's not effective and they should just go ahead and vote after all."

And the President Bush vomit thing really disgusted her. · "That he had the nerve to go to that meeting when he was feeling ill - talk about an embarrassment. The thing about throwing up is that you know you 're gonna do it. Your body gives you all sorts of signals right ahead of time."

Right now Poundstone keeps busy touring and figuring out how to decorate her barren house. The fact that she has five cats doesn't help much when planning for furniture. In fact, she had only cardboard boxes for almost a year but recently purchased some chairs, although they're in storage until she and her interior designer (a friend) can come to terms on the room.

"She told me right off the bat that I couldn't have anything blue," Poundstone said. "I don't know that I wanted anything blue anyway, but I think for a whole family of color to be eliminated from my choiceit' s pretty harsh."

Q

•

Paula Poundstone appears Friday, April 17, at the Auraria Events Center. Tickets are still available at the Ticket Booth.

Admission is $8 for MSCD students, $16 for the general public.

Staff Writer More than 1,000 MSCD students each semester go largely unseen by the Auraria Campus' student majority. Yet weekend students, in trueMSCDtradition, often juggle hectic work, school and family schedules so they can attend classes.

"Weekend students tend to feel left out," said Claudia Romans, administrative assistant for the MSCD's Weekend Addition program. "Many of them don't have any opportunities to be part of what's happening on campus."

Nevertheless, these students surrender their Friday nights and Saturday mornings, many hoping to earn a degree.

According to a recent survey conducted by the Weekend Addition office of approximately 600 weekend students, nearly half said they would earn a degree by taking only weekend classes if they could.

The same survey revealed that more than half of the students couldn't find any other time for the classes they needed.

Many students take weekend classes to work around busy child care and work schedules. Others use weekend classes to lighten a heavy weekday load.

"My Saturday class eases a 15-credithour workload during the week," said Gena Glider. "Also, weekend classes are more

St. Elizabeth's needs volunteers to assist with its foodline for the homeless in Denver.

J. Featherstone The Metropolitan

During her spring break from school, seven-year-old Courtney is distributing sandwiches and coffee to the impoverished people who wait anxiously in line for a meal behind St. Elizabeth's church on the Auraria Campus.

As she hands cellophane-wrapped portions of Ritz crackers through the iron gate, the seriousness in her eyes shows that she understands the importance of her job.

Courtney's grandfather Ed and bis colleague Mary have been volunteering their time for over three years, preparing and doling out sandwich bags to Denver's needy.

On occasion, they have the pleasure of offering an extra delicacy like crackers, soup or dessert, if it is donated to the church.

But the donation of treats such as these are few, said Carol Bankston, administrative assistant at St. Elizabeth's.

"We prepare an average of 100 sandwiches a day," Bankston said. "Each person is given a sandwich bag which has two bologna sandwiches in it.

"Cookies and soup are a nice addition because they (patrons) can snack on those types of things. But we only give thattypeof snack if someone donates it."

Bread is donated from various stores in the Denver area and the bologna is purchased through a food coalition to which the church belongs. Bologna sandwiches are something that those who wait in line can count on every day at 11 :00 a.m.

"We give out an average of 40 sandwich bags each day, which is 80 sandwiches," Bankston said.

Donations of food are readily accepted, but Bankston said she has a difficult time getting out to pick up food that often goes to waste.

Rockies Deli in the North Classroom throws away an average of 60 bagels daily.

Richard Reeder, Rockies' general manager, said he has tried to donate the bagels to St. Elizabeth's in the past.

"We'd love to give the bagels away,"

Reeder said, "but no one comes to get them.

We end up throwing them out at 9:00 p.m. when we close."

Bankston said that she is desperately in need of volunteer help to get the leftovers to the church for distribution.

With the exception of the Gourmet Alternative catering service in St. Francis' Interfaith Center, food services on campus donate very little. The catering service donates weekly, according to employees. "We give leftover desserts, enchiladas or sandwiches once or twice a week," said Lisa, one of Gourmet Alternative's caterers.

Surprisingly, the cafeteria in the Student Union and The Mercantile produce very little waste, according to Professional Food Management employees.

Jim Labella, who manages the cafeteria for PMF, said that most excess food is often used the next day.

"Most food we can reheat, like taco meat and beans," he said. "The only thing we really throw away is cream soup that cannot be reheated because it breaks."

Steve Wilcox, manager of The Mercantile, said the restaurant likewise produces very few leftovers.

"We bake all day so we have fresh products," be said. "Daily and weekly we gear down our preparation so that we don't have leftovers. The only thing we really have are cookies and brownies which we send to the child care center for the kids."

Bankston said she looks forward to hearing from volunteers who are willing to make a trip to the North Classroom to save the dozens of bagels that go to waste everyday.

And donations of soup and snack-type foods such as cookies and crackers are always appreciated.

The shame of waste is felt when one stands in the alley between St. Elizabeth's and the Central Classroom.

When the weather is dismal, hot coffee is the only solace many of these people find. In the heat, the shaded alley keeps them cool and the bologna sandwiches keep them fed.

And it's the generosity of people like Ed and Mary and little girls like Courtney that make their worlds go around.

Red Rocks offers more than just concerts Gwen Estridge The Metropolitan Whenever the subject of Red Rocks comes up in Colorado, the first thing most people think of are the concerts that fill the beautiful outdoor arena every summer.

But there's more to Red Rocks Park than just music and beer. There is a history of millions of years behind those rocks that not everyone knows about.

Another thing MSCD students might not be aware of is a class, The Geology of Red Rocks Park, that takes you there. The twoday field trip is worth its one academic credit.

It explores different rock formations around Red Rocks Park, the fascinating history of a land that used to be semi-tropical and submerged in an ocean. Students can also discover dinosaur tracks and ancient fossils that are embedded in the rock.

Andrew Taylor has been teaching the class for three years and has a special interest in Red Rocks. Taylor has studied the area extensively. Last summer, he spent as many as 40 days there, sporadically camping, hiking, fishing and collecting minerals. Taylor said it was the best summer of his life. ''This class aims toward the non-geology student," Taylor said. "We try to implement the most simple terms of geology to help the students learn and to interest them. There is

not a lot of jargon. That's what geologists are afraid of the most is trying to communicate with the non-geologist because of our complicated geological terms. This class is for the beginner."

Taylor is knowledgeable about the area and lectures for two days -with no need for notes. He only carries a pick he uses when be invites students to climb rocks with him to find fossils of prehistoric fish scales and dinosaur bones.

"Red Rocks is a very unique wealth of an area with 2 billion years worth of rocks exposed," Taylor said. "It's a natural geological laboratory.

"In this class the students can get outside of the classroom and into the environment they're studying. They experience it; they can see it up close and touch it. Students learn more there than from any material in the classroom."

Taylor received a doctorate from the Colorado School of Mines and worked 20 years for Amoco, where he was sent to Alaska to work on helicopter-supported geological studies. After Amoco, he worked for various other oil companies. Taylor said be "crashed and burned" then took up teaching, which he enjoys very much.

The Geology of Red Rocks is one of many classes offered by the geology department that bas the uniqueness of being an onbands experience. Other classes include: The Geology of the Sand Dunes, Roadside Geology, Geology of the Garden of the

Taylor said that even though the classes are fairly popular, with a limit of 20 to 25 students per class, be still feels that students just don't know about it.

"I've bad students say to me 'Gee, I didn't even know there was a class like this around. I wish I had known about it,'" Taylor said. "In fact, we might start thinking about adding some new geological field trips. Youcan'texpectanytbingbetter." 0

Students work to help homeless in Denver Sheryl Knapp The Metropolitan Auraria students were part of a nationwide work-a-thon April 11 tohelpthehungry and homeless.

Students in the eighth annual national Hunger and Homeless Cleanup performed a variety of tasks for the Denver Rescue Mission, Urban Peak and the Salvation

Army.

"We didn't even scratch the surface," said MSCD student Marshall Michael, who helped organize a food warehouse for the Denver Rescue Mission.

"The news just talks about it, but you have to come down and see, personally, to understand," said Poncho Colon, coordina-

tor of Blake Street Survival Shelter. "The Salvation Army is a nice organization. They help people like they helped me."

The group assigned to the Salvation Anny also went to the shelter. There they mopped floors, scrubbed bathrooms and cleaned the 160 beds.

The students who went to Urban Peak viewed artwork created by children who live on the streets.

"I was impressed with the artwork these kids did," said Lauren Caraghar, a coordinator of the event, after the team regrouped in the Student Union.

"There was one mural with a dragon that sat on the world with its hands wrapped around it," she said. " It was squeezing the children off of the world. It was amazing."

"I thought it was good to help out," MSCD student Ajayi Harris said. "I wanted to get involved in this social issue."

Kelly Wark, a CoPIRG coordinator and leader of the group, explained that the worka-thon was a fund-raising event. The students participating had sponsors who paid for students to work by the hour.

"This is all set up through The National Student Campaign Against Hunger and Homelessness," Wark said. "They coordinate the hunger cleanup through companies all across the nation. They tell us how to organize the event in terms of applications to send out to the work sites."

"One thing we wanted was some kind of tour in context to learning about the programs." Wark said.

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

Long-awaited arrival of baseball team finally comes Will Hinton Sports Editor

I

l:'

With a St:;Cond-place finish and 4-2 record at the Denver Metro Invitational tourna• ment April 10 to 12, the MSCD baseball team appears to have escaped the grasp of mediocre play that has plagued it for most of the year.

For the first time all season, the Roadrunners displayed their talent in all facets of the game. Gone is the sub.300 team batting average and undependable bullpen. And though the 'Runners are still committing their fair share of errors, they are now playing solid defense at the end of the game, when it counts.

This is a great baseball team when it plays up to its potential, and it is finally doing just that. This new elevation in the caliber of play leaves one question about the season to this point: Why did it take so long?

Why is the MSCD baseball team 20-18?

What was the cause of such an average record for a team that has the talent to play in the NCAA playoffs?

The answer lies in one word - everything.

There was no single reason for the problems on the field, but rather, they were theresultof a culmination of circumstances.

Both the coaches and the players were responsible neither more so than the

other. This was a case of all-around failures.

First, there were the guys calling the shots.

Co-Head Coaches Bill Helman and Eric Larson failed to mold the team's considerable talent into a cohesive unit until it was too late. The wheel was spinning, but instead of a finely crafted pot, there remained a lump of clay.

The coaching staff is good when it comes to by-the-book defensive substitutions and othertechnical aspects of the game, but they fall short when it comes to judgment calls.

When they didn't remove a pitcher from the hill in time, they took him out too soon.

Working a pitching staff correctly is a key to any successful season, and the coaching staff has come up short in this area.

The unwillingness to change also showed itselfin other areas, such as left field. Shannon Burney is a freshman so full of potential it's bursting the seems of his uniform. However, he plays like a freshman, and his Lack of experience killed the team defensively. His troubles hitting a pitch with any kind of break in it have made him a disappointment at the plate and, coupled with his defense, a liability. He remained in the every-day lineup too long. A platoon system with the nowdeparted Cliff Rogers or Vince Lucero may have been called for. Lucero may never hit .300, but he is magic with a glove on his hand and should have seen more time than he did. Remember, defense wins championships.

The coaching staff has had an off year, but then so have the players. If players don't perform, no coach can produce a winner.

With the exception of starting pitching, which ironically was the only shortcoming in the Denver Invitational, the play in the field and at the plate was downright ugly.

At the plate, the only constants have been seniors Rusty Befus and Andy Dewett, the lone power sources in a hitting blackout.

The team batting average (.306) has never been so low so late in the season, and the situation in the field was no less than embarrassing. Center fielder Matt Santisteven has been the only guy to give a frustrated pitching staff consistent defensive help, although shortsfup Chan Mayher and Lucero have glittered defensively from time to time.

These factors were as much the fault of the players as the coaches. The players are accountable for their own play. A coach, no matter how good he is, can't go out on the field and play.

The prospects of a playoff appearance have long since gone by the wayside, but the 'Runners can still play for pride. If they can continue the play that showed itself at the Denver Invitational, and the coaching staff has learned f(om its mistakes, a 30-win season is easily within reach. If the squad wants it, it is theirs to take.

They should approach the rest of the year like Major League Baseball did in the strike season of 1981. Instead of one full season, they should approach it as two half seasons.

The ' Runners finished out of contention the first half, but they can still play to win in it all in the second. Forgetting the very forgettable first half and playing like the season started a week ago could do a lot for their confidence and give them something to build on for 1993.

This season has been full of losses, but MSCD can keep it from becoming a total loss if they just play ball like they can. 0

Fences no problem for home run king Mike Sallier The Metropolitan

It's always nice to begin a career on a high note, which is exactly what Rusty BefusdidduringhisfreshmanyearatMSCD. His first three at bats in a Roadrunner uniform were all turned into home runs.

"He's got an explosive bat," Head Coach Bill Helman said. "When the timing is there, the ball will go far."

Befus' bat has served him well during his career on the MSCD baseball team.

He became the all-time home run leader during his junior year, but an injury last year forced him to redshirtfor a year and put a bold on terrorizing opposing pitchers.

"At first, we thought that

Even though Befus did things to help out the team away from the field, he wanted to be with the team on the field.

timing was off. "It's frustrating trying to get my timing back," Befus said. "I guess the year off did affect my hitting some."

Befus also moved from the outfield to second base because of the injury to bis arm.

"He has adjusted well," Helman said. "It was the best move for the team and him.

Rusty's exceptional with the glove."

Helman is happy to have Befus back because be he is one of the team's leaders.

"Rusty's one of the best captains I've ever had," Helman said. "I really appreciate him because he leads by example. He's willing to do anything to win and he shows it to the team."

So far this season, Befus is continuing to rewrite MSCD's record books. He has hit five borne runs so far (44 career), and bis 42 RBI are second on the team. With 15 games left in the season, there is reason to believe that he wilJ escalate his totals even more.

Future plans for Befus, a finance major, include graduating in May, after which he hopes to get into real estate sales and, perhaps, further on down the road, a brokerage of his own. But, Befus said, "I haven't had the time to look at all the options yet."

When looking back on Befus' career at MSCD, he will have team records as well as the admiration of his coach.

"He's a special player," Helman said.

"He's been a rock and he will be hard to replace."

When Befus thought about his colJege career as a player and student, he stated: "Mixing baseball and school is demanding.

A lot more than people know. But, I wouldn't change the experience for anything."
