Textbook·s for several classes at MSCD this semester were not available until the second week of school, and according to teachers , Auraria Book Center has cut textbook orders without telling the instructors. John Cochran, chairman of the Economics Department at MSCD , criticized the book store for its handling of textbooks. "The bookstore management seems to be arbitrarily cutting down the textbook orders they get from teachers," Cochran said. "I've spoken to professors who have had their book orders cut up to 60 percent, without being notified by the book store," Cochran said. As a result, several stu dents were

unable to get textbooks before the second week of classes. According to Cochran, the order cuts were done across the board on campus this semester. "I've heard complaints from several different departments," Cochran said. This past summer, Arthur Fleisher, p"rofessor in the MSCD Economics Department, ordered 80 textbooks for fall classes from the book store. Before classes started, he found out that the store had only ordered 50 books from the publisher. "I was never told that my book order had been cut down," Fleisher said. "From the amount of students who have raised their hands in class to say they don't have a book, I can tell that the problem this semester is worse than ever," Fleisher said. Renee Wilson, assistant manager of the bookstore's textbook department, said

Arthur Fleisher department employees check the past history of the classes on the computer before ordering the books and base new orders on those checks. see BOOKSTORE page-4

Auraria Board and SACAB clash over move to lock student clubs out of offices Dave Boersma Staff Writer

â&#x20AC;˘

The Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board (SACAB) .Wednesday passed a motion to deny office space to clubs that discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation, despite the Auraria Board's recent decision otherwise. As of Wednesday night, the administration of the Auraria Higher Education Center (AHEC) had not responded to the motion, said Chip Wiman, MSCD student trustee. JoAnn Soker, executive vice president for AHEC, previously stated AHEC will not make changes until Colorado Attorney General Gale Norton makes a decision on the constitutionality of such a rule. "SACAB is an advisory group," Soker said. ''They (SACAB) advised us of their decision, but AHEC will not take any action until the attorney general makes a decision and advises us." Soker said a decision on the matter could come by the October Auraria Board meeting. Wiman said the issue is a matter of morals and ethics. "The students of all three colleges

(MSCD, UCO and CCD) voted not to fund clubs that discriminate against sexual orientation and the administrations are not carrying out the students wishes," Wiman said. "They're not even fighting a battle." Wiman said the Auraria Board sanctions discrimination and said he will keep pressuring them to change. "I'm not going to let this rest," Wiman said. "Students will be heard. We are still the bosses." SACAB's accusation of discrimination by the three clubs, Alpha Eta Rho, Menorah Ministries and MSCD College Republicans, brought angry responses from club representatives as clubs denied that discrimination takes place among their members. Jonathon Burke, faculty adviser to Alpha Eta Rho, said the information was incorrect. "Alpha Eta Rho bylaws include a nondiscrimination clause," Burke said. "A copy of the bylaws was delivered to Student Activities last spring, but SACAB said they never received a copy." Menorah Ministries' faculty advisor Norman Mikesell said the SACAB action speaks for itself.

"Any club that does not conform with . SUAB (Student Union Advisory Board) policy will be denied the pi:ivilege of utilizing student fee funded office space in the student union," SACAB Chair Eden Cohen said. Cohen said MSCD College Republicans and Menorah Ministries will not be allowed to check out keys that allow them to enter their offices. "They will not be evicted," Cohen said, but added, "they will not be allowed into their offices." Emerson Holliday, division director of Student Services, said the clubs would be charged a fee for their offices until they conform to the rule. MSCD College Republicans and Menorah Ministries must submit a copy of their bylaws to SACAB and the bylaws must include wording that says no discrimination will occur due to race, creed, mental or physical challenges or sexuaI orientation. The SACAB and SUAB decision can be overruled by the Auraria Board. " We feel this is very important," Cohen said.

Classes move from Tivoli to Tramway Antoinette Vecchio Staff Writer

.....

Auraria schools have become so popular that the campus is quickly running out of classroom space for students, said an Auraria Higher Education Center (AHEC) official . High enrollment for the fall semester has led to a lack of space, prompting the presidents of MSCD, UCO and CCD and AHEC to create permanent classroom space in the Tramway Building, said JoAnn Soker, executive vice president for AHEC. "In terms of most campuses, Auraria is pretty compact," Soker said. The decision to use the space in the Tramway Building, which is east of campus across Speer Boulevard, came shortly before fall classes began, said Barbara Duckworth, administrative assistant with Admissions and Records. ''The-realization came that there was not going to be enough space and they (AHEC) had to find additional space," she said. At the time of the decision to move into the Tramway Building, AHEC determined it would take about three weeks to get the classrooms ready for use, Duckworth said. Classes were temporarily set up 'at the Tivoli while work on the Tramway Building classrooms was being done, Soker said. While it was not the intent of AHEC

to use the student-fee funded Tivoli for academic purposes, it was the best decision AHEC could make until the classrooms at the Tramway Building were ready, Soker said. "If we had not used the Tivoli, the institutions would 6ave probably rented space off campus," Soker said. The colleges are charged for the use of space at the Tivoli but not at the Tramway Building, Duckworth said. AHEC owns the third floor of the Tramway Building and the space is designated for classroom use at no charge to the colleges, Soker said. Ginny Feagler, division director for Facilities Planning and Use, said 27 classes temporarily set up at the Tivoli moved to the Tramway Building last week. Some students of those classes said they are upset about having to walk off campus and across Speer Boulevard to get to class. MSCD student Arny Preisendorf said she has to leave for work after her class at the Tramway Building and bas to walk back through campus to the parking garage to get her car. "I would have never taken this class if I knew it was going to be here," she said. Steve Wolf, an MSCD junior, said the campus should be on one parcel of land and the schools should limit the number of classes to space on campus. "Why have more classes than the main campus can accept," he said. "That's

poor planning on AHEC's part." Feagler said she has received complaints from faculty members and said she understands their grievances. "I know that it is not the most convenient place," she said, "and I would prefer to have more space here on campus." However, one MSCD speech instructor said he does not mind having class at the Tramway Building. Gary Mazzu said he enjoys the walk to the Tramway Building and the classrooms help in making student presentations easier because there are no windows. "I hope to be teaching more classes there in the spring," he said. It is not yet known if classes will be assigned to the Tramway Building for the Spring 1993 semester, Feagler said, but eventually the Tramway Building will go into the geneFal assignment classroom pools. The Tramway Building was des ignated as the East Oassroom until 1987, when the North Classroom was completed, Soker said. One of the reasons for building the North Classroom, Soker said, was to avoid having students cross Speer Boulevard to get to their classes. Now, Soker said, that problem has resurfaced. "We really urge people to be careful crossing Speer and to use the crosswalks," she said.

Bookstore problems blamed on lack of space and untrained erilployees BOOKSTORE from page 1 " If a class in the past bas enrolled less · students than the amount of books the teacher bas ordered, we sometimes cut the orders," Wilson said. Fleisher said the textbook shortage has caused him problems in teaching. In order to give a test, he had to make copies of chapters from the textbook, so the students could do required studies for tests. Cochran agreed with Fleisher that the shortage of books has affected academic integrity, and be said several faculty members have bad difficulties giving fair quizzes in class, because all the students have not had access to the books. In the future, Cochran wants a better communication between the bookstore and the departments to solve the problems. Director of the bookstore, Gretchen Minney, said she does not think the criticism is fair. Minney said it is "absolutely untrue" that the bookstore cuts down orders from faculty without conferring with the teacher first. "We do look at previous history of the class enrollment, and if we suspect that the book order is too large, we talk to the faculty member before cutting down the order," Minney said.

"Ninety-five percent of the time we order too many books. That is the only way to make sure we . have enough textbooks," she said. Cochran said another problem the Economics Department bas had with the bookstore this semester is that the students have been told the textbooks are not in when there actually has been over 400 books in stock. "A faculty member from the department and myself had to make two trips to the bookstore in order for the store employees to bother putting them out on the shelves," Cochran said. However, Minney said it is not accurate that students are told the books are not in. "We hire around 150 extra people in the beginning of each semester," Minney said. "We spend one day training the new employees, and when they don't know what to say to customers, they make things up," Minney said. According to her, the book shipments are moved to the shelves immediately, and she said there is a 24-hour turnaround from the time books are received to the time they get put on shelves. Cochran said it took the book store three days to get the books on the shelf. Wilson said books were not placed on

the shelves because of .limited space. The Economics Department ordered almost 2,000 books for one class, she said, but the shelf could only fit about 50 copies. "We are stocking books even in the ladies bathrooms," Wilson said. "Our only hope is that we will get more space when we move into the Tivoli. This is a problem that keeps growing and growing." Minney said storage space at the book store is minimal. "We don't have enough room," Minney said. "Right now, we have offices in the hallways, and we often don't have a clue of where to put textbooks." Wilson said the problem of missing textbooks often is caused by late orders from the faculty members. "If the books are not here the first week of classes, it means that the publisher doesn't have them, or that the faculty member turned in the order too late," Wilson said. "All book orders are due a month and a half before classes start, and if we get an order two weeks before class there is no way to receive the books on time," Wilson said. Both Cochran and Fleisher said they ordered their books on time. Another reason to why the problems with late textbooks have been more

•..

extensive this year is, according to Wilson, the wait lists for classes. "Most of the time, we don't know the wait list figures, and the customer count goes up," Wilson said. Minney said the majority of the delayed book shipments occurred this semester because one of the major publishers this year changed its automated shipping policy. "The shipments were running at least four weeks behind," Minney said, and she added that the problem occurred nationwide. Minney also said another possible reason to the book shortage may be that non-students use the bookstore. "We have no control of people coming in from outside of school to buy books. We can't card everyone," Minney said. "If we see that a textbook is very popular, we make an extra order." Minney said she judges the effectiveness of the bookstore service based on the number of complaints she receives. "During the first week of classes, we had 50,000 customers in the store. In that time, I got three complaints from students. That was all. We have to put things in perspective here," Minney said.

Political transitions in Mexico topic of discussion North American Free Trade Agreement sparking governmental reform Patricia Straub Staff Writer

f .

The President of Mexico's Party of the Democratic Revolution, Cuauhtemoc Cardenas, spoke on campus last Wednesday about Mexico's political transition, struggle for democracy and the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Cardenas spoke of the problems Mexico and its people face despite the coming of NAFTA in a lecture sponsored by UCD's Department of Modem Language and the Chancellors' Office. "What we have experienced is an increased authoritative and repressive regime," Cardenas said, citing a "deep network of corruption" in the Mexican government. With the Institutional Revolutionary Party under President Carlos Salinas de Gortari and a

deterioration of living standards, environmental and natural resources have been depleted because of big business interests in the United States. Since the formation in 1988 of the Cardenas Front, a coalition of many leftist centered parties, 145 democratic revolution members have been assassinated, including four killed a few days ago, he said. Cardenas' party favors change within Mexico, and the most difficult obstacle for democratic change is the Mexican government itself, Cardenas said, citing electoral fraud, illegal use of public funds for elections and media propaganda. The government maintains a tight control over the media, spending $100,000 a minute to air propaganda and $100 million on each channel, deceiving the public ir:to thinking Mexico's

problems are a thing of the past, Cardenas said. The opposition party ' s viewpoint is not allowed any television access. Because of NAFTA, Mexico' s government is attempting to reconstruct the economy to integrate with the United States. NAFTA is a crucial component, Cardenas said, but it does not guarantee Mexico 's prosperity. "The truth is, so far, Mexico is not Cuauhtemoc Cardenas taking off," Cardenas said. In the next four years, Mexico is

expected to make only modest economic growth gains , and the agricultural industry is struggling, he said. By the end of this year, Mexico's foreign debt will reach $120 billion, he said. Under Cardenas' democratic leadership, he intends to work with other countries to ease his country's debt, create a system of checks and balances and establish a rule of law and basic human rights , including the right to revolt and freedom of speech. Above all, Cardenas said, the revolutionary democrats want to give Mexicans dignity and achievement with adequate education for future generations. The Mexican people are ready to work, he said, and have a dignified and fruitful relationship with the world.

Men's ·movement confronts a violent society's conditioning

SAVE YOUR WINDSHIELD (

Counselor encourages men to be assertive without violence Patricia Straub Staff Writer

In today's modem world made up of asphalt, plastic and glass, men have lost their relationship with nature and therefore their relationship with themselves, said a counselor Sept. 10, at an Auraria conference group about the emergence of the men's movement. William Evilsizer, an alcohol addiction counselor, said as boys, men are taught to emulate a violent, male role model. Boys are taught to play with toy guns and are told "big boys don't cry." Consequently, this produces men alienated from their feelings and nature, and subsequently this develops a violent society of men--Who commit ac ts of violence against other people, Evilsizer said. The growing men's movement helps men to reunite with nature, teaching them to be assertive without hurting others. "It's violence in, violence out for men. We live in a war system," Evilsizer ••T~a ... 1'!111c-,. said. "We really are grieving for nature and the loss of it. We need to start grieving the violence period that's been done to WINDSH I ELD REPAIR us." Sponsored by the Auraria Women's Resource Center, a support group for men is being started on the Auraria Campus. A similar support group was formed last spring, and the center had requests for its continuance, said Monica Parsons, program specialist for the Women's

Resource Center. "We've always felt a need for equal services for men on campus, especially in supportive services," Parsons said. "It's an informative group of getting men in touch with the idea of looking within and finding the self and corning to terms with that." Human nature dictates the enjoyment found with the feeling of power in being in a fight, Evilsizer said. "There is something about being a warrior we need to keep alive as men," he said. But keeping alive the assertive self without the destructive side is the challenge. Evilsizer focuses on three areas to curb violent behavior patterns: the family, grieving and relationships. In the family, the father plays 'an integral role in shaping the son's male persona, Evilsizer said. A son is taught to hide his feelings, and the son tries to fit his own self into that of his father's, he said. Many fathers are absent and many are like a king figure, overbearing or powerful, he said. Grieving is another element for healing, Evilsizer said. "Grieving is saying goodbye to attachments, dependency (and) finding who we are without relationships," he said. Many relationships have been shallow for men of the 1980s and 1990s, Evilsizer said. "Most people talk at the head level rather than the heart level," he said. Men are confused about having to act a certain way as a male and get a good jqb

in order, they are told, to get a good woman. Unhappiness is all they find, Evilsizer said. Men need to find their own goals, not their family's and not society's, and discover ways of achieving them. By exploring this, men get in touch with their feelings and recognize and express them. Without this expression, Evilsizer said, hidden emotions have a way of showing up as heart disease, ulcers, cancer and other diseases. The next 10-week men's gro up session starts Sept. 16 in South Classroom 134. For more information, call 556-3618.

~~~~~~COMMENTARY~~~~~~

Protect freed om of speech with standards FRANKLY SPEAKING SHAWN CHRISTOPHER Cox

Freedom and liberty in this country have expanded since the Founding Fathers implemented oul' present-day Constitution over 200 years ago, but where should the line be drawn? The Pornography Victims' Compensation Act of 1991 (The Metropolitan, Sept. 11) if passed would set a bad precedent concerning freedom of speech and of the press. The bill would allow victims of sexual abuse, rape and murder to sue producers and distributors of hardcore pornographic material for compensation. America needs to look at itself to ascertain why these crimes are so high in number, but no excuses should be made for the criminal who commits these 'heinous crimes, either. Even though crime is a societal problem, personal responsibility of the criminal must be accounted for. Allowing victims to sue for these crimes would be detrimental and not a panacea. Lawsuits would increase, focusing on the wrong thing. Penalizing a book seller is not the way to combat the concerns surrounded around how far free speech and free press should be carried. If this bill passes, censorship would begin to ring from sea to shining sea. Proponents of the bill might

say they are not trying to censor. However, the possibility of lawsuits against a company calls for unwarranted self-censorship. A company might rather censor potentially offensive material instead of waiting for a possible lawsuit. On top of this, the offensive material would still be available even if producers stopped legally making it. A black market for this material would pop up, adding to the already thriving black market of child pornography and the such. Legal availability is not the entire problem. This is a problem that cannot be solved this year or in 10 years. The freedom of speech implications are extreme. First, censorship comes by way of not wanting to get sued. What's next? A number of Twinkie defenses that had a man saying that eating a Twinkie led him to commit a crime? Would sugar producers then be sued? How about food-coloring producers? All of this being true, a line must be drawn and standards must be applied . There in lies the problem. Everyone will draw the line in a different place. Then, what can this country do? There is self-censorship. Even though I'm against producers and distributors being sued and practicing censorship out of fear, each profession must evaluate its values. Censorship should not be enforced by laws or potential lawsuits, but taking responsibility is a different matter. Lyrics in rap music , heavy metal ;rnd even country music is beyond belief. Some rap songs speak of mutilating women and killing cops, while some country songs talk about drunk men beating women. Both are outrageous, however, but

UNFORTU1JAT£LY'

censorship of these lyrics would open the door to many free speech abuses. What has happened is artists, including musicians, have crossed "the line." The far left liberal loonies have pushed admirers of the First Amendment up against a wall. It's hard to fight for First Amendment freedoms when musicians are ready to abuse it for nothing but greed and money. But, outright censorship would be a Pandora's Box. What are the options? First, children under 17 should not be able to purchase certain music. Well, that's censorship against children some might say. Damn right it is. If children under 17 legally are not supposed to see certain films without an adult, then why should they be able to purchase certain disgusting music? Of course, there is the availability problem again. People over 17 will make the material available. However, government can only go so far and then parental responsibility must take over. Second, the public should not have to fund disgusting art. The National Endowment for the Arts, should not support material such as Mapplethorpe's art. But, that is censorship some might scream. No, it is called if you want to be disgusting with explicit sexual photographs of children and sick sexual acts between people, then you have to pay for it yourself. It is not censorship, it is the standard government in this country should have. Nonetheless, debate should continue after The Pornography Victims' Compensation Act of 1991 will hopefully be voted down. There is problem of abuse against people, but controlled censorship and lawsuits are not the way to combat it. • t

Prof. Angeletti the problem, not the solution The problem with "issues" is they 're like the weather: everyone talks about them, but no one ever does anything about them. For example, Professor Charles Angeletti's speech about "issues" (The Metropolitan, Sept. 4). What issues you may well ask? Well, that's the problem with Angeletti. He talks a darn good "issues" game, racking his brain to invent cutesy labels like "sandbox syndrome," (oooh, how deep!) but like most other broadly generalizing me-firsters, not only can 't he talk solution, he can't even definitively identify the issues upon which he's posturing. Angeletti says a "massive education effort (novel notion on a college campus, eh?) needs to be made." And that "students should be concerned about what goes on ..." Uh, huh. Like wow! I haven't

heard anything that deep, intellectually or humuswise, since oh, let's see ... Yeah! Junior high school. Angeletti also tells us students we need to "grow up quickly and assume responsibility." Anyone ever subjected to an Angeletti tirade knows the man is a little confused about where it is· he works. You see, here at MSCD, the average student age hovers around the third decade. A whole heckuva lot of us have just oodles and oodles of responsibilityfamilies , careers, mortgages- the kinds of things professors handicapped by a permanent state of arrested adolescence (sort of a fifty-year-old Frosh) can't begin to understand. Angeletti, contrary to his own over-inflated view of himself, is the problem, not the solution. His type has for all time been screeching for change primarily

as a means to their own selfish ends. They jump up and down about how ignorant and uninvolved the rest of us are, but are incapable either emotionally or intellectually of actually doing anything themselves. Instead, they view themselves as the Christ, here to enlighten the rest of us, to do the brain work we're · too stupid to handle. Thanks, but no thanks, Chuck. The dragons I fight will be of my own choosing; dragons that'll be a little more identifiable than your reptilian wraiths. And while my pedestrian dragons may not meet with your haughty approval, Chuck, one thing's for sure: mine won 't also be covered with the slimy sheen of an incestuously had 500 clams. J.M. Schell MSCD Student

Talk shows flying high on roomies -.

<'.

Yupsters of the world beware! Those crazy guys in la la land are ready to squeeze yet another psychological nerve in your chiropractically corrected personage. Thought you could find asylum in the hollowed institution of upper middle class marriage? Not. "Fatal Attraction" and "Hand That Rocks the Cradle" transubstantiated the need for refuge (via adultery and child care) into a pestilent nightmare. Unspoken for? No problem. "Single White Female" (Hollywood's latest reminder that hell lies waiting for those foolish enough to lose control) creates a horrific but escapable vortex that allows post Vietnam kids their very own war stories. Oprah, Sally Jessy, et al wasted no time lining up roommates from hel~ along with their yupstantial tales of terror. While West Coast film makers attack the economic high ground, their Madison Avenue counterparts continue a relentless assault on the blue collar faction. I saw a- particularly pertinent Geraldo recently where YVORFH (yuppie victims of roomies from hell) met couch potatoes suffering from beer induced mental masturbation. The Homers (named after Bart's dad) suffer delusions of grandeur starring the Swedish Bikini Team brought on by imbibing low budget beer that allegedly tastes as though it came out of bottle.

The whining was polarized yet strangely familiar. "Imagine my horror when I found a (gasp) ... pubic hair on my Dove Bar--and we're not talking soap here." "What a gyp. I wish they would put more candy on my pillow at the hotel. Gee, beer really does taste better out of a coffee cup." Then one of the Homers called the YVORFHs a bunch of sniveling wimps. Geraldo proposed a guzzling contest. They broke for a commercial and I headed for the fridge to join in. Just when I thought all hell would break loose, the strangest thing happened. Looking back, I blame the Lithium in the brew. Geraldo, the Homers and the YVORFHs were swaying to the John Lennon anthem "Imagine." I slobbered along with the bouncing beer can. Imagine there's no bad roomies. It's easy if you drink. No chores or bill dodgersNo reason to think. Imagine all the Homers Swilling in the bliss. You may think we're mental masturbators But it's only an alcoholic dream. Why don't you crack a six pack And wait for the Swedish Bikini team? Imagine that.

Celebrate Constitution~ literacy The month of September encompasses three worthy commemoratives: Literacy Day, Sept. 8; Constitution Day, Sept. 17; and the week which follows, Constitution Week, Sept. 17-23. The Mount Rosa Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution invites fhe public to consider these milestones and honor them appropriately. Literacy Day points to the ongoing need for volunteer assistance at various local schools and colleges, as the number of illiterate adults make themselves known. Time, supplies and caring are all part of the equipment needed to help a person learn to read, keep a checkbook, get a driver's license, etc., thus becoming a greater participant in America's daily life and giving back in time and effort the assistance received. Eventually that person may examine our Constitution and learn why it has continued as our basic document of government since its ratification by nine of the then 13 states of America in 1788. Here we have the longest-lasting Constitution of any nation and for good reason. The genius of our Founding Fathers is they drew up a document that equalized the three sections of

government-executive, legislative and judicialadd ing the checks and balances that lift our Constitution above the usual. Two hundred and five years after the signing of the Constitution on Sept. 17, 1737, we yet enjoy our basic freedoms and liberties under its benevolent shelter. However, we must guard against encroachment of those freedoms. Too many apathetic citizens can allow our freedoms to be chipped away. Use your vote to assure the election of those who have vowed eternal vigilance over our liberties. The Daughters of the American Revolution urge . your participation on Election Day to vote your choices. Mayors of Littleton, Englewood and Greenwood Village have been asked to sign proclamations for Constitution Week, which will be placed in displays in local libraries. Fly your American flag to honor Literacy Day and Constitution Day and Week. Donna M. Santistevan Mount Rosa Chapter, NSDAR Constitution Week Chairperson

Blade· Runner" carries on as a Cult Classic Messages and visuals in Sci-Fi film ultimately profound Hero Montilla Staff Writer

In the early 1980s, a-little movie called "Blade Runner" was released starring Harrison Ford. The film was a flash in the pan at the box office, but years later, it remains to be seen as one of the best films to be made in the past decade, and a masterful credit to the career of film artist and director Ridley Scott. This flick-turned-cult-classic, playing at The Esquire at 590 Downing St., bas been re-released in theaters across the county with a new director's cut. The changes, including a revised ending and reclaimed footage, are minimal, but the film does takes on new visual and symbolic meanings that were not seen before, changes that enhance the overall effect. Not that "Blade Runner" needs any enhancing, but the film does present a more personal connection with the director and some of the ideas that Ridley Scott is trying to project. The new cuts will seem novel and integral enough to the film's content to stimulate the cult followers who are on their tenth, twentieth of thirtieth showing. But really, the "blade-lover" doesn't need a reason to see the film again, and again, and again. To new viewers, granted they are intellectually amenable, " Blade Runner" will prove fantastic as a gripping adventure and mind-fix. To those fearful of science fiction, it will be advised that the film is more philosophical than it is a futuristic joyride. But still, hang on tight. Los Angeles in 2019 is a dreadful nightmare of a place. This mortuary of a civilization is a cruel world where people seem indentured to survive. The city is culturally bizarre with its multiple Chinese noodle stands, snake dancers, shops selling artificial eyeballs and colossal video advertisements ' of blabbering Geisha girls. Land vehicles that convert to shuttles, driven mostly by cops on the prowl, embark across a mottled sky darkened by industry and city lights. This is the dark side of the future what really might happen if the ozone layer is depleted. New to the future are "Replicants" or sophisticated antriods. ·They are used as

slaves by the living and breathing members of society. The science of producing Replicants has been advanced, and a particular group of the robots have become the superior make and model. What was unaccounted for is that the Replicants would become intelligent enough to rebel against their enslavement. Six of them mutiny on their off-world colony, killing tijousands of people. They have returned to earth and are at large. Harrison Ford plays Rick Decker, the

Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) on a rooftop in the climactic scene in "Blade Runner". The movie has developed a cult-like following over the past decade. · " Blade Runner," who is forcefully summoned out of retirement. The " Blade Runners" are headhunters that work as a special police unit to seek and destroy unwanted Replicants. He hated his job then, and he hates it now. But he's the best. "Blade Runner" basically revolves itself arou nd the relationship of Dec ker , the "dark" hero, to the dangerous Replicants on earth. As simple as it sounds, the film is able to entangle itself in a series of complex and profound premises.

Being a "Blade Runner" fan myself, I am biased in my account, but this is not unfounded. I will honestly admit to a yearly "Blade-session" in front of the tube and its connected VCR, munching popcorn. For all its redeeming qualities, "Blade Runner" does have one minor flaw: its violence (just a fair warning).

Gin Blossoms is more than a rosy nose Arizona's jam band proves they can move to the groove Hero Montilla Staff Writer

"Gin blossoms" is a term that to the ignorant might evoke pleasant imagery of exotic fau na. But in this context, Gin Blossoms is known as a rock/pop guitar band from Tempe, Ariz. The band got its name from the term "gin blossoms," which refers to broken blood vessels that appear on the nose due to extenuated alcohol abuse, said guitarist Jesse Valenzuela, a member of the band. The cover of the band' s first album, "New Miserable Experience," produced earlier this year by A&M Records, is a

It could be a postcard from the edge, or at least from Tempe. Whatever you do, just don't think new age meditation. The fiv e men of music in Gin Blossoms will seem familiar in both sight and sound as a college band with an alternative edge.

They are a scruffy quintet, looking as though th ey haven' l quite assimilated the move from hometown basement groove session to serious professional musicians on the forefront of the industry. Although generally unknown in these parts, Gin Blossoms has attracted quite a following in its home state of Arizona, Valenzuela said. "New Miserable Experience" is the band's newest album.

Special effects fail to save "Hellraiser 3" Jeff Stratton The Metropolitan

The first two "Hellraiser" movies, the product of Clive Barker's creative genius, rank as two of the most intelligent "horror" films ever produced. A brilliant marriage of high tech special effects and psychological terror, the two films lent a new credibility to the genre, making blood and gore almost respectable, establishing Barker as an exciting new director In "Hellraiser 3," there is simply nothing else at work. The story is so thin, the acting so dismal that by the time the film reaches its apocalyptic (yawn) climax and the threat of a fourth installment is made, ·the film is only interesting as self-indulgent exercise in bad film-making. Barker would have better served his career by leaving bis name off the credits. It should be noted that the special effects are nothing short of incredible and astonishing. But the film becomes pathetically hollow because it uses the electronic wizardry just for the sake of using it. Barker's 1990 film "Nigbtbreed," while lower-key than the "Hellraiser" films, seemed to indicate that Barker's star was on the rise. It's a shame, then, that Barker would choose to complete his trilogy with a film as misguided as "Hellraiser 3". This movie diminishes the impact on his other films by being an unintentional self-parody. When this movie makes it to the 50-cent video rental rack at Sound Warehouse, it will be worth seeing, if someone else pays for the rental. I I

Men's soccer team undefeated after four games Roadrunners' wins include two over conference opponents Mike Robuck Sports Editor

"-•

The men's soccer team may not be a perfectly well-oiled machine but first-year coach Al Ashton has only some minor tinkering to do to get it there. "We're 4-0 and have a 2-0 record in conference play, so I'm real pleased about that," Ashton said. "We're happy with our record but feel we can play·better than we have so far." The 'Runners reeled off three wins beginning with a 1-0 squeaker Sept. I L against West Texas State. The conference opener against Fort Lewis College Sunday was a 4-0 whitewash against the Raiders. Tuesday, MSCD then knocked off traditional rival and conference foe Denver University, 3-1. All three games were played at Auraria's fields. The lone score in the match against West Texas State was the result of execution and a little research by junior team captain Leonard Trujillo. Trujillo, the Colorado Athletic Conference's Player of the Year last season, proved with his goal that he got the award for more than just physical talent. Two minutes into the second half, Trujillo took a corner kick from sophomore transfer Jeremy Loring at the right side of the net and sent a perfectly

timed header into the left side of the field. West Texas goalie Steve McBride took a fruitless dive and came up with nothing but air in his attempt to stop Trujillo. "I saw them play (Colorado School of) Mines the night before, and in that game, I noticed their goalie overplayed the side away from the kick," Trujillo said. "Jeremy gave me a good ball for the goal." "I saw Leonard kind of hanging out,

Dominic Chavez/The Metropolitan

so I planned on kicking it to him," Loring said. "I think he knew it was coming because he was hanging back from everyone else." West Texas seemed to be thinking about what dinner would be on the airplane trip home because it never mounted a serious attack after MSCD 's goal. "They were tired and just wanted. to

go home," Loring said . "I think the altitude, the heat and the game the night before took a lot out of them. They just played kick-ball and didn't have an offense." The weather stayed hot for Sunday's game against Fort Lewis and the ' Runners came out smoking in the first half. Greg Oakley, a junior mid-fielder got MSCD on the board first with a blast from . the outside six minutes into the game. Trujillo got his second goal of the season seven minutes later and Loring scored with a minute left before half time. With the game winding down in the second half, Oakley scored on a pass from junior Jay Roberts. "We outplayed them in the first half," Ashton said. "Then we let down a little in the second half. It takes 90 minutes of intensity to win soccer games and we were a little disappointed we didn't get a full 90 minutes of effort. If you don't play with intensity, you're in trouble in this game." Against DU, Oakley passed up a chance for an easy header pass at midfield and instead kicked the ball over a defender back to himself. Oakley dribbled around DU's d~fense before passing to senior forward Doug Clark. Clark scored around the 11 minute mark to give the 'Runners a

A Very

Important Piece Of

Going into the Central Missouri State Tournament this past weekend, the members and coach of MSCD's women's volleyball team thought they might have a good team. After coming away with a third place finish, now it is acknowledged that they are a good team. "I'm excited," Coach Rhonda McMullen said. "We didn't really find our groove but, we beat several good teams." This tournament boasted eight ranked teams out of the twelve participants including the No. two ranked team, North Dakota State, a team that MSCD took to five games before losing 20-18, 3-15, 815, 15-8, 12-15. "This tournament was a good indicator," McMullen said. "We didn't 'play all that well against North Dakota State but, we stayed with them." . Before the heartbreaking loss to North Dakota, the 'Runners played a talented team in Morningside College, which was ranked No. 25. The scores were 15-5, 1510, 15-7. The Roadrunners then went up against Angelo State, rankeNo. 19, and ,wo_n 15-11, 15-12, 15-13. ''This team has the potential to be the lbest volleyball team ever for Metro," McMullen said. The Roadrunners finished its tournament appearance by crushing the No. 11 ranked and host team, Central Missouri State, by the score of 15-4, 15-1,

~--mii...._..:....::....;:iil:li~i:m_.L:;;.;;;i

Senior outside hitter Dana Stright was named to the all-tournament team along with Stacy Goldsberry 15-12. It was a successful tournament for MSCD, as they not only finished third but also had two players named to the alltournament team. Senior outside hitters Stacy Goldsberry and Dana Stright were both given the honor because of their great play throughout the tournament. "Volleyball is a team sport," Stright said. "Stacy and I passed well and the team served very well and played good offense." Goldsberry and Stright weren't the only players who received recognition as senior middle blocker Diane Dibble and sophomore middle blocker Crissy Canada also received votes for the all-tournament

team. "They did well," McMullen said. -"They all played very steady with good consistency." McMullen continues to play everyone in a tribute to the great depth of her team. "If someone is having a bad match, that happens sometimes. But I'm able to bring in someone off the bench who will play well," McMullen said. McMullen also stressed that the team needs to keep the little things in check as she hopes that all of the players will begin to understand their roles on a team that may have many substitutions during _ games. "We need to keep our desire level

up_" McMullen said. Due to fluke injuries sustained during the Missouri trip, MSCD was without two of their three middle blockers for Tuesday night's game against the University of Northern Colorado. Junior middle blocker Wynema Hunter and sophomore Canada missed the UNC game due to injuries caused during a "Gyro-Spaceball" ride at a street festival, causing blood spots in their eyes as well as headaches. ''That- was a strange way to lose two players," McMullen said. Going into the game against UNC, the ' Runners were ranked number six in the nation, the highest ranking ever for a MSCD see VOLLEYBALL page 21

The women's soccer team saw double in its last two games. Not double vision, but double overtime. The Roadrunners tied Chico State University 0-0 Friday and then Univers~ty of California-Davis 3-3 Sunday. Both games were at Auraria fields. If a tie is like kissing your sister, two back to back double overtime ties must be like kissing the family dog. The games consisted of 90 minutes of regulation play with two 15 minute overtimes. · "It was kind of heartbreaking to get into overtime both games and not win," said junior team captain Cindy Roush . "Those are the worst games to play because they are physically draining. It all comes down to mental concentration because you're just too tired physically." Chico State came into the game with a No. 9 ranking in the NCAA' s Division II poll. The 'Runners out shot Chico State 16-14, but weren ' t able to bring the ball in · close to Chico's goal. "They've always played a physical game," Roush said. "When we got the ball we rushed to get rid of it because we knew someone was going to be hitting us from behind." One example of Chico's style of play came with 26 minutes left in regulation. MSCD's Rosie Durbin had the ball with empty space and the Chico goalie in front of her when Chico's Ashley Wilkes grabbed Durbin's shirt from behind and yanked her away from the ball. Wilkes received the only yellow card warning of the game but the penalty typified Chico's game philosophy. Durbin spent considerable time looking at blades of grass. "They set the tone early by getting some hard hits on us ," said coach Ed Montojo. "They took us out of our game and we started playing long ball. Rosie is one of our top scorers and she took a shot from 25 feet out because she thought she was going to get hit." Senior goalie Lisa Baskall, also a team captain, and Renee Richie made the defensive plays to keep their team from losing the game . But the ' Runners couldn' t put away its tired opponents. "We were definitely the better team," Roush said. "It was disappointing to play better and not beat them."

Team captain Cindy Roush, a junior defensive player for the Roadrunners. Against UC-Davis the Roadrunner' s Anna Martinez took a pass from teammate Amy Cromwell and scored 33 minutes into the first half. Davis' Jill Rowland answered back three minutes later when she beat MSCD's defense to tie the score. With time winding down in the first half, freshman Jennifer Duran emerged from a crowd with the ball after a corner kick by Martip.ez. "Duran had just a tremendous shot to put us up at the half," Montojo said. Five minutes into the second half sweeper Renee Richie went on a 60-yard run with the ball and scored to put MSCD up 3-1 . Davis returned the favor a minute later when Rowland booted her second goal. With eight minutes left in regulation play Rowland set up teammate Erin Malone for the game's last goal and a 3-3 stalemate. "Tue second half was our downfall," Roush said. "We let down a little and they came back on us. We had some good shots in the double overtime, but we need to work on finishing our shots better." Montojo said his team missed having sophomore defensive starter Chrissy McCain, who didn' t play due to an ankle injury, and missed the loss of Richie who suffered an injury with eight minutes left. "We missed Richie's leadership, she's the organizer back there on defense, " Montojo said. "We had to do some reorganizing, but I'm real pleased with how we played both of these top-teams. We know we can play with them, now we have to hold onto the lead when we get it." MSCD is 0-2-1 for the season.

Soccer schedule won't get any easier UNDEFEATED from page 17 1-0 lead. Denver University tied the game 12 minutes later. With two minutes left until half time, Roberts came up the with ball and blasted a shot to the left side of the goal to put MSCD up 2-1 . "I was thrilled with Roberts scoring just before the half because it gave us some momentum in the game," Ashton ·d Sat . Junior forward Adam Smith scored his second goal of the season to put the game away for the 'Runners in the second half. "It was a real physical game," Ashton said. "Conference games and games against DU in particular are always very physical. We knew that going in to the

game. When we played possession ball, short controlled passes up field, we owned them. "When we didn 't do that the game would get too physical. We can't afford losing a player to an ejection, and a couple of times, I had to remind our players not to get caught up in that stuff." Players are issued a yellow warning card for a flagrant foul. Two yellow cards tum into a red card, which gets the player ejected from the game in progress and also the next game. MSCD had one yellow card and DU had two players each with a yellow card. "We're happy to be 2-0 in conference play, but Mines beat DU and we play them next," Ashton said. " And then we play Southern Colorado, and they beat Mines. So it's not going to get any easier for us."

California tourney next test for spikers VOLLEYBALL from page 18 volleyball team. UNC was ranked right behind at No. 7. " They were the best team that we have faced so far," McMullen said. "Their block was a virtual wall." MSCD came out well against UNC but, in the end, UNC's defense was too much for the short-handed Roadrunners as UNC won in four games, 15-10, 9-15, 1115, 5-15. "They had 123 digs in one game," McMullen said. "Missing those two players really made a difference. If we had them, we probably would have gone to five games." For this upcoming weekend, Metro has a trip to California for another

tournament , at California-StateBakersfield. This tournament hosts only five teams, but all five are ranked among the top 15 schools in the nation. "This is going to be a tough tournament," Stright said. "We have two games on Friday and two more on Saturday." Their first game of the tournament has the 'Runners going up against the No. 11 team in the nation, Portland State. But the good news for MSCD is that Canada and Hunter are due back to help out up front. "This tournament will test us to see how good we really are," McMullen said. "All I ask for is that we play hard and compete."
