It appears as if the MSCD women's volleyball team and its great depth will be tested as they move deeper into its schedule. On Saturday, the 'Runners went up against the Fort Lewis Raiders in a Colorado Athletic Conference match, and like their previous conference matches, the Roadrunners ended it quickly. "We like to get out in three games," said Senior outside hitter Stacy Goldsberry . . So far this season, the 'Runners have yet to lose a game at home. All of their matches at the Auraria futents Center have only gone to three games. MSCD's recent success moved the Roadrunners up a notch, to No. 7, in the NCAA Division II rankings. Although the 'Runners opponents, the Raiders, had won only two matches this year, taking them lightly could have been a big mistake as the Raiders took West Texas State, ranked No. 11, to four games before losing. But, there would be no major surprises for MSCD as they took the first game of the match rather easily at 15-0 behind good defense and great hitting. The second game began the same way as the 'Runners broke out to a 9-2 lead early in the match but, it was a good Ft. Lewis surge in the middle of the game that got them to within five points at 12-7. The Roadrunners, from that point, took over the match behind Junior middle blocker Wynema Hunter and

sophomore middle blocker Crissy Canada as the Raiders had no answers for either one of them and their outstanding play at the net "We played pretty well," Coach Rhonda McMullen said. "The intensity level was good and we didn't let down." The third, and final, game was a carbon copy of the first as the Roadrunners continued to get good blocks at the net as well as great kills that helped MSCD take the game 15-3. "We played great," Goldsberry said. "During the week we practiced coverage and our defense during the game was good." Although MSCD won handily, the team was without three of their talented bunch as senior outside hitter Dana Stright played only the first game due to a sore shoulder. "You could tell that Dana was missing," McMullen said. "She's not a vocal leader but, she is a leader and makes a big difference." Senior middle blocker Diane Dibble missed the entire match because of a broken hand and will miss a few more games and sophomore setter Tami Barnett may miss the rest of the season because of a sho ulder injury. It still isn't known whether she may need surgery that will prematurely end her season. "We're down to just two middle blockers now," McMullen said. "But, Wynema played well as she filled in for Diane." Next for up for the Roadrunners was a rematch with the University of ColoradoColorado Springs in Colorado Springs on Monday. This time, there was no letdown in

the third game as MSCD cruised to another three game victory, 15-7, 15-5, 15-4. The team had another good performance hittingwise as they were successful on 34 percent of their hits. "We played pretty consistent and hit really well," McMullen said. 'They kept it up and didn't have any letdowns." But the loss of two players was felt.

'We played pretty consistent and hit really well. They kept it up and didn't have any letdowns.' -Coach Rhonda McMullen "It's tough playing with only two middle blockers," Stright said. "Diane does make a difference." Like the previous match with Ft. Lewis, Stright only played in the first game and rested her shoulder through the last two games. " It's still pretty sore," Stright said. "I'm just resting it during the rest of this week. It should be OK for the weekend." The team will host the MSCD Invitational Friday and Saturday. Scheduled to play are: No. 24 ranked Texas Women's University, the University of Missouri-St. Louis, and rival, Denver University.

entoring Program Road to success you have ever felt lost in the higher education maze or felt like you just needed someone to listen, the Mentorship Program is for you. The Mentorship Program is the brain-child of Martelle Chapital, director of the Student Development Center. Chapital created the program to not only "nurture" students, but also help to guide students through institutional red tape. "College research findings show that too many students leave higher education because they do not receive adequate nurturing to successfully make the transition from secondary school to college," Chapital said. The goal of ii the program is to create a campus-wide program that will support students ' academic development Jecole Shaw and success. Not only will students find an ally in their mentor, but through the program, they will develop a relationship on a level other than student/professor. "Any successful person can look back in their life and see that they've had a mentor,"

said Megan Reyes, a student coordinator for the program. "My mentor, a professor I worked with as an assistant last year, gave me direction in my chosen field of study and offered emotional as well as academic support." Problems that cause students to drop out of college are not always school-related, Chapital said. "The Mentorship Program provides me with a sense of guidance," said Jecole Shaw, a MSCD sophomore and mentee. "I'm 22-yearsold and I think I know everything, but I don't. "Having Dr. Grey as my mentor has helped keep me focused," said Shaw of her mentor, Dr. Daine Grey, a MSCD psychology professor. "I've never had a father-figure to talk to and the program gave me one."

'The Mentorship Program provides me with a sense of guidance ... I'm 22-years-old and I think I know everything, but I don't.'

Shaw, a Human Resource major, works in the Studen~ Development Center as a peer advisor. A single mother of a 5-year-old son, Justin, Shaw is also starting a support group for single parents, expecting singles, and singles without children. "The Mentorship Program has a special meaning depending on the individual," Shaw said of the program. "Everyone needs someone to talk to." One of the mentors, Virginia Parker, chair of the Accounting Department at MSCD, is looking to spread the word about opportunities

in education to students who may not have been exposed to them. Although she has taught accounting for 12 years at MSCD, she did not start in accounting, but in psychology. After rece1vmg her bachelor's degree in psychology from the University of Tulsa and her masters degree from University of Colorado at Boulder, she decided to swi tch gears Virginia Parker and earn a doctorate in accounting. Away from school she enjoys the theater and several outdoor activities including softball. Parker is not married and has no children, but she has adopted a jaguar through the Denver Zoo. About 50 MSCD faculty and staff, as well as community members have been matched with students as mentors. The mentors and students will spend at least two hours a month developing their relationship. A training session/reception for mentors and mentees was held October 8 at the St. Francis Center. The training sessions were facilitated by Student Development Center professional staff and the Colorado Alliance of Business. It helped mentors set goals for themselves and broaden their awareness of student needs, wants, and expectations. 0 advertisement

Campus Republicans vote 'ye_ s ' on Amendment 2 Katarina Ahlfort Staff Writer

Auraria College Republicans (ACR) Monday became one of the first student organizations on campus to vote in favor of Amendment 2. Jeff Davidson, coordinator of Auraria Lesbian and Gay Alliance, last week was invited to speak at a College Republican meeting, during which he spoke about what he thought the effects of passing Amendment 2 would have in Colorado. If passed during the general election Nov. 3, Amendment 2 would prohibit gays from claiming minority status or discrimination based on their sexual orientation. Jeff Rosenberg, chairman of ACR, said the idea to invite alliance representatives to the meeting was successful. "To have an intelligent opinion, you need to know both sides of the story," Rosenberg said . Following Davidson's speech, 79 percent of the party members voted in favor of the amendment, Rosenberg said. That number would have been even higher if the Jeff Davidson voting would have been held prior to Davidson's presentation, he added. "We usually get one-sided information about Amendment 2," Rosenberg said. "Davidson's speech changed quite a few minds here. There is too much of an 'us-them ' mentality between organizations on campus, and it

was great to have 'them' come in and tell target for 'us' their side of the issue." people who Davidson criticized the group after view the gay they voted in favor of the amendment, community as saying the amendment focuses on equal a threat. rights versus special rights for a select Homophobia few. is not typi"The College Republicans are, cally found through their vote, showing their within the ignorance, hatred and bigotry.

Tivoli Planning Committee and businesses

quarrel over future student union's name Antoinette Vecchio Staff Writer

Business and student needs clashed at the Tivoli Planning Committee (TPC) meeting Oct. 1 when it was revealed that jackets and T-shirts purchased with student fees were printed with "Tivoli" and not "Tivoli Student Union." The jackets and T-shirts were given away to students during a two- week promotion of the Tivoli, Sept. 2 1-24 and Sept. 28-0ct. 1. Members of the Student Advi sory Committee to the Auraria Board (SACAB) asked that the jackets be printed with "Tivoli Student Union ," said Carl Severson, secretary of SACAB. "We are all student advocates and we want 'student' to be in the name," he said.

However, the jackets were printed with just "Tivoli," probably the decision of the Auraria Higher Education Center (AHEC), Severson said. JoAnn Soker, executive vice president for AHEC, said she did not know about the purchase of the jackets but said she does approve of using the name "Tivoli" at this time. Having the word "student" in the Tivoli name may not be acceptable to some of the retailers at the Tivoli, she said. " Use of that name (Tivoli Student Union) would freak the merchants," Soker said. Severson said he understand s the retailers ' position, saying some retailers believe that putting "student" in the name will be detrimental to their businesses. "There are certain businesses within the Tivoli that are sensitive and hesitant to

have the word !.student' in any type of marketing," Severson said. see NAME page 4

Retailers help livoli Le Roy Standish The Metropolitan If commercial space were not rented at the Tivoli Student Union, students would face an $18 increase in student fees, said one AHEC administrator. An increase of $2 in student fees would eliminate the need for even a single square foot of space in the Tivoli Student Union to be devoted to retail shops. But students would bear the cost see TIVOLI page 4

OCTOBER

AHEC working to balance needs of students, vendors NAMES from page 3 Steve Schaffer, treasurer of Starbridge Corp., which owns and operates Club Infinity, said he would like to see the name of the Tivoli be more of a generic one. Promoting a business with 'student' in its name is more difficult, he said. If the Tivoli is called the Student Union, many people, including Denver visitor, may think the building and its businesses are only available to students, Schaffer said. SACAB member and MSCD student Phil Kaspar said most of the retailers will benefit from student traffic regardless what the building is named. The AMC theater will most likely benefit from students going to matinee shows between long breaks in classes, he said, especially because students get a discount price. Keeping a balance between what the businesses need and what the students want is important, Soker said. Businesses at the Tivoli need to be successful so they can contribute to the approximately $1.4 million in operating cost, she said. If the revenue does not materialize, student fees may have to be raised. To offset the operating costs, merchants pay a base rent or a percentage of their profits , whichever is greater, Soker said.

"Tivoli Union" can be considered as an acceptable name because it states that the building is a union for students and that it also has historic attribution, she said. TPC member and CCD stu de nt Rachael Secore suggested at the meeting that a referendum be put to the students to decide what to name the Tivoli. Kaspar agreed, saying a referendum

·•

would be a good way for the students to get involved. However, Soker said a referendum is not a good idea because it will not address the ramifications of a new name. "To change the name of an existing business is a big deal,'; she said, adding, the final decision on the name will come from AHEC and may take place after the next TPC meeting Oct. 15.

Vendors expected to generate $1.2 million for Tivoli upkeep TIVOLI from page 3 of the upkeep of the building, according to Dean Wolf, vice president for operations at Auraria. Upkeep of unused space is estimated at $4.50 per square foot, he said. After renovations have been completed, retai lers in the Tivoli are expected to generate up to $1.2 million per year, said Emerson Holliday, Student Services Division director. Holliday said for every $750,000 generated by retailers, students will pay $1 per semester in fees. Without retailers contributing to the upkeep of the historic building, the cost to students would mean an increase in student fees of $18 per semester.

"I think -l can safely say you will have a sizeable majority of the student population going bonkers," Wolf said, if student fees were to rise. Space division plans for the student union show the building being divided into three parts. Equal space would go for student use, food outlets and retail, Holiday said. Students will be getting 50 percent more space than the current Student Union. But students have never been asked if they would pay more for more space. "The consequences of not breaking even is a raise in student fees ," said JoAnn Soker, executive vice president for Administration at Auraria. "Our interest, we think, is the students' interest."

Trustees vote on ballot measures State college student representatives disapprove of controversial amendments Katerina Ahlfort Staff Writer

Saying Amendment l would put the quality of higher education in jeopardy, the Trustees of the State Colleges in Colorado voted against the Tax Limitation Initiative at the September board meeting. The trustees also announced their support of the Children First Initiative, and opposition to the School Voucher and the Great Outdoors Colorado Program amendments. Amendment l would require voters' approval to increase taxes and debts for certain state and local governments. "With a c ut budget, we will not be able to reimburse professors or buy new academic equipment. If Amendment I goes through, it could also mean larger classes in college," said Anne Steinbeck, chair of the Trustees of the State Colleges in Colorado at the meeting in Gunnison. The trustees govern Adams State College, Mesa State College, MSCD and Western State College. According to the trustees , the state's current tax limitation laws are sufficient, and Steinbeck said Amendment I is an attack on the ideal of representative government because it would lessen the representatives' ability to- address the state's needs. Also at the meeting, the trustees

unanimously supported Amendment 6, the Colorado Children First Act of 1992 , which is Gov. Roy Romer's initiative foe a one-ce nt sales tax increase for public school funding and educational reforms. "If Amendment 6 is not passed, the funding for public education will be reduced," Steinbeck said. "We all will have to share a smaller piece of the pie and there will be a deeper cut in higher education funds." According to Steinbeck, there is already a "serio us shortfall" in the education budget, adding up to millions of dollars. Amendment 7, the school voucher, was opposed by the trustees. lt would allow the state to provide a voucher for each student to attend any public, private or religious school. The amendment would disrupt the financing of public education, with major impl icat ions for higher education and other state services, Steinbeck said. The trustees voted to oppose Amendment 8, the Great Outdoors Colorado Program, which according to Steinbeck, would dedicate all proceeds from every state-supervised lottery game exclusively to parks and recreation. This initiative would dramatically fot funding for construction, repair and rehabilitation of state buildings including - state coJlege facilities, Steinbeck said.

Auraria students march to Mayor Webb's office Wednesday in support of Native Americans' request to stop Satu rday's Columbus Day parade through downtown Denver•

Antoinette Vecchio Staff Writer Auraria students and members of the American Indian Movement marched Wednesday from campus to Mayor Wellington Webb's office in an attempt to cancel Saturday's Columbus Day parade. About 20 people, including Tho mas Mestnik, MSCD student body president, and members of MEChA, a Chicano student organization, held a rally outside the North Classroom Building before walking to Webb's office. "It's just ludicrous to celebrate Columbus Day when every broken treaty, every massacre, every act of government stealing lands can be traced back to 1492 and Columbus," Mestnik said. He said the events of the past are a direct line to what is happening now with the government forcing Indians off their lands. "The policy today and what Columbus did are the same, and it's not a day to be celebrated, its a day to be mourned," Mestnik said. On Sept. 23, the student government passed a resolution opposing the celebration of Columbus Day and the repression and exploitation of Native Americans. Continuing UCD student Scott Gordon, who helped collect more than 400 signatures from Auraria and Boulder students opposing the parade , said celebrating Columbus Day is comparable to a celebration of Adolf Hitler's birthday. Reading from the petition presented to Webb , Gordon said chi ldren are receiving a wrong message about Columbus. " The ce lebration of the act of genocide is illegal and immoral and sends a profound, co nfusing message to our children," he said, adding that Americans must confront their own history. "Kids are given heroes only to find out later what they are really about," he said. Antoinette Red Woman, of the Northern Cheyenne Tribe and member of

the American Indian Movement, said she is pleased that MSCD student government is teaching the campus about the 500 years of oppression that her people have encountered and the attempts made by the government to take their land away. "This is my land still," she said. "My people never signed a treaty with the government." Wh ile Webb said he understood the views of the protesters, he said he could not cancel the parade because it is an extension of a holiday, and stopping it would be a violation of the First Amendment. "You are asking me to break the law," Webb said. UCD student Julia Rob inson welcomed that idea. "Sometimes you have to break the law when you are dealing with an unjust policy," she said. Webb, however, referred to Martin Luther King, who fought for the Civil Rights Amendment, saying the group needs to use moral means to get to moral conclusions. "I don't believe it is right to ask a •, mayor to break a law he sw9re to uphold," Webb said. Webb suggested t ha t the group approach the legislature regarding the cancellation or changing of the holiday. Gordon said he was glad Webb took the time to see the group and that he made a good point regarding the legislative process. "It was a point well taken," he said. "We plan to offer our assistance to the American Indian Movement in pursuing legislative channels after the parade." The First Amendment is an issue for both sides, Gordon said, and added that Webb clearly made the point. "I believe Webb is playing his role as mayor in making certain that both sides have free speech," he said. The group stil l plans to protest the parade on Saturday, Gordon said, so next year there will be a law against and not a request to stop the parade.

Schaefer named Institutional Research vice president Third-generation Denverite Carolyn Schaefer was named MSCD 's new vice president of Institutional Research. She will start Nov. l. 'Tm very excited and my perception of Metro is that it's truly a gift to the community-a great asset, one I'm proud to be corning back to," Schaefer said. "When J look back on Metro, it was one of the fmest educational experiences I've had. I'm very honored to become involved." Schaefer holds a degree from Colorado State University in economics and received he r teaching certificate in elementary education from MSCD. Schaefer's duties will include college communications and public relations, alumni relations, development, foundation relations,

support services and publications "Carolyn has been very effective in Denver," said MSCD President Thomas Brewer, who served as chairman of the search committee. "We're looking for great things from her, especially in the areas of fund-raising. We're confident she will work great with the faculty." Earlier this summer, Martin Robbins, of the University of Toledo, was selected for and accepted the position of vice president. However, in August, Robbins unexpectedly rejected the job in a letter to Brewer. A completely new search with a new pool of candidates was then conducted and Schaefer was chosen. Schaefer c urrently serves as the executive director of Warren Village, an

agency that works with single, low-income parents. "She's got most of the single mothers there enrolled to come here (MSCD)," said Charles Dobbs, assistant to the president. "She's really committed to what education can do for people. I think it's really neat." Schaefer also worked seven years at UCO , four years as the director of development. She is also a member of the board of directors of the Colorado Community Initiative and chairwoman of the leadership development council of the Greater Denver Chamber of Commerce. ''S he knows Denver," Brewer said. '·She's a third-generation Denverite. Carolyn eme rged as someone who can do a tremendous job with the school."

Dear Metro Connections: I am a freshman student at MSCD, and I'm having problems keeping up in my math course. I got average grades in math in high school - it's just that in college, the classes seem to move so much faster, and now I'm behind. I think I understand what the teacher says in class, but when I go home and try to do the homework, I get stuck. My professor says I probably need extra help and maybe even a tutor. Some older students came into our math class and told us about some tutoring programs, but I'm embarrassed to ask people about it. Do you have any suggestions?

METRO CONNECTIONS

Dear Scared: Believe it or not, most people have trouble asking for help for themselves, yet this is a very impo rtant skill for an adult to learn. Asking for help appropriately is a sign of maturity; a sign that you are self-aware e n oug h to know what you need and tha t you care enough about yourself to ask. In this case, the MSCD Tutoring Program makes your search for help easy and painless. The people w ho talked to your class were undoubtedly from the Tutoring Program. This program offers free tutoring for a ll MSCD students in 18 a reas, including biology, chemist ry, co mputer science, Eng lish , history, psychology, and math. "Most of our tutoring programs are geared to the 100-level co urse. " says Jenn ifer Jackson , Tutoring Program coordinator. "However, we also offer help in some 200-level classes such as economics and accou nting , and even in some 300- and 400-level classes." Tutors are students who have special training in how to tuto r, includ ing instruction in working with those for w hom English is a second language a nd in explaining the material well . Tutors are monitored and supervised regularly, and they m ai nta in high grade-point averages in their subjects. Tutoring is done in a group session at various course levels. Further, the staff can usually find a time that will work with your schedule. To sign up , go co the Central Cla ssroom Building, Room 112 , between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. You'll need to fill out a tuto ring request form; you'll also need to ask for information on the program's procedures and policies. Then, you'll set up an appointment with a tutor for o ne hour per week. It's as easy as that! O n ce yo u 're comfortable , you may a lso want to check out the Tuto ring Program's seminars , wh ich include stress and time management, how to write essays, and how to prepare for tests. Then pat yourself o n the back for taking prompt action to save yourself stress, to salvage your math grade, and to set a solid foundation for the rest of your school studies.

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

Columbus Day: An opportunity to learn FRANKLY SPEAKING SHAWN CHRISTOPHER Cox

The 500th anniversary of Christopher Columbus' voyage to the New World provides an opportunity to learn. Regardless of one's view about Columbus, either as murderer or being one of benevolence, his historic voyage should not be muddled in the current political correctness debate. . What is needed is truth and understanding of the times. Columbus was a navigator who thought he had reached India. At the time, slavery was not against the law and Columbus did enslave six people after he discovered Guanahani, which is in the Bahamas . This is not to validate Columbus' actions, but to lend historical understanding. History cannot be changed, but how history is looked upon can. In doing so calls for caution. Some left-wing liberals in this country are calling for historical revisionism. This is not to say that looking at the world in a Euro-centric view is the best or right way to study history. It is to say that how history is studied should not be changed just to submit to the anger of some. Columbus Day should be a time -for debate, not unlawful protest. Glenn Morris and Russell Means from the American Indian Movement have said they

Does student government want to erase If perpetuation of a racist and a murderer is the issue, there are other ways to combat this. Inhibiting Columbus Day and only speak of the atrocities?

I am reminded of fourth grade where "right" all of the "wrongs" of present day society and we learned about the "Indian" way of life: tools they in history. The latest crusade is to decry Columbus used , how d ifferent Indians lived and the Day. contributions of their civilization. The appearance is that student government I grew up not necessarily praising Columbus nor wishes to dismiss anything remotely positive that 'scorning Native Americans. If anything, my happened because of Columbus' "discovery" and knowledge about Columbus in relation to the Native only attribute the negative aspects to him. Americans is lacking. Hollywood, for me, was the perpetrator for the What happened after Columbus discovered the New World, and he was not the first European to good-white cowboy versus the bad-red ndian. Information is out there. For example, Channel 6 reach the New World, should not be attributed to him. He was just a navigator sailing under the recently produced a seven-part series about Spanish flag to find India. Additionally, had it not Columbus. What everyone needs to do is read and study been Columbus, it would have been some other dead , white, European male to which the discovery more, both from traditional and alternative sources.

-S tate prohibits political endorsements NO POLITICS ON CAMPUS! That' s right , Colorado State Law is putting a moratorium on campus politics. No longer shall the College Republicans have the right to campaign for George Bush. No longer shall the Young Democrats be able to table by the flag-pole for their candidate of choice. No longer shall the duly elected student government have the right to advocate students' rights on issues that affect them . AND THAT'S THE WAY IT SHOULD BE! At least, that's the way it is according to the Colorado Campaign Reform Act, which forbids state institutions from rendering payment or payment in kind (such as providing space for clubs) to influence the electorate (you and I) on the issues before us (such as Amendment 2). Yes, the Auraria Campus,

once a hot-bed of political activity, will no longer be such . Not a single flier endorsing a political candidate or cause may be printed using state funds or equipment, and you better not get caught hanging a Clinton/Gore poster in the window of your club space. Why is all this surfacing now? It seems that an unnamed individual was flipping through this very paper when he/she ran across an ad paid for by student government urging a "no " vote on Amendment 2. In an effort to stay out of hot water with potentially damaging forces , a memo was issued by Karen Thorpe's office requiring that student government reimburse students for the cost of the ad ($150) . In a memo addressed to Dr. David Williams, vice

J-

president of Academic Affairs, I have requested review by the school's attorney as to whether this statute applies to clubs using subsidized student space such as the College Republicans and Young Democrats. I already know the answer. Yes. Yes: you cannot flex political muscle on the Auraria Campus, for it will not be tolerated. Yes: student groups should keep their ideas to themselves (hold a bake sale?) . Yes: academia should be barren of political thought and expression. Yes: the students on this campus should keep their ignorant mouths shut and not muck things up for the Status Quo. Yes, at least, according to Colorado State Law. So thank you to the state legislators who passed this law and the executive branch which enforces it. Your actions have bolstered my belief that I should sit down and shut up. What could I possibly know, anyway? I am, after all, a mere student.

Guilt needed, not accusation .

.,.

I just finished reading the "warning" that Dr. Gwen Thomas, as a representative of the MSCD Women's Advocates had published (The Metropolitan Sept. 25). I am appalled that on a college campus, where people of reason congregate, such a threat should be made. The warning was that all accusations of sexual harassment made by a student against faculty, administrators or staff would be publicized. "It is not our intention to [sic] use formal channels to get you to cease and desist." The accusation alone is sufficient for this group to convict the alleged perpetrator. I suppose this group would not admit that there are such things as false accusations. Is punishment to be meted out without due process, either through the college's channels or the courts? Surely, there is time for punishment after the perpetrator has been~ to be guilty. Accusation should signal investigation, not condemnation. As a woman, and a feminist, I certainly descry

sexual harassment. But I call on all the inhabitants of this campus, especially women, to fight against the environment of intimidation that would result if people were to be deemed guilty by accusation without due process. Some may object that sexual harassment creates an environment of intimidation. True, but so does guilt by accusation. An environment of intimidation cannot be dissipated by replacing it with an environment of intimidation. The MSCD Women's Advocates "warning" ended with this threat: "We are instituting the Scarlet H." Even the narrow-minded and self-righteous Puritans in Hawthorne's novel allowed Hester Prynne due process; she was forced to wear the Scarlet A only after she had been convicted. But then, the Puritans did enjoy witch-hunting. Patricia A. Bailey English professor

incredibly moronic individual headlined the flier with, "F- COLUMBUS and his legacy." Way to go guys, you just helped make the conflict harder. Such inflammatory words serve no purpose when trying to resolve a situation and I would have hoped that the student government, who happily sponsored this flier and concert, would realize this. Having a sense of personal outrage over the treatment of natives in this country over the years is certainly justified and admirable. But to take a noble cause and reduce it to childish profanity serves no one but your own anger and helps solve nothing. Finally, I hope that you members of the student government did not use any of our student fees to pay for the printing of this flier. Its creation does not serve the student body, your constituents, nor does it aid in the struggle for Native An:ierican rights. Once again, our representatives have embarrassed us. This time you did it in public. Ladies and gentlemen of the Assoc iated Students of Metropolitan State College of Denver, start earning the trust that we have put in you. Start behaving as adults striving for a better world instead of children screaming at the sun. Do this, or leave the posts that you are, it is becoming obvious, poorly suited for. Lawrence E.

Immaturity of student government Once again our illustrious student government has glaringly showed its immaturity and lack of regard for the reputation of its constituents, the student body. To fight for a cause is noble. To struggle to correct an unfair situation is a grand goal. To debase it with profanity, childish sentiment and personal outrage as the student government did with the flier they have posted on campus is inexcusable as our representatives. As our representatives, the student government is expected to pursue improvements for the school and benefits for the students and represent us to the rest of the world. From what I have seen, I shudder at the thought that others may judge us by our student government. If any of you readers are unaware, Columbus Day is fast approaching and the conflict between the Native Americans and Ital i an- Americans is escalating. To resolve this situation is going to take careful consideration, open and honest discussion and an open-mindedness that our student government seems to be seriously lacking. The flier that they have distributed announces a concert to benefit the Big Mountain Support Group and MEChA Central. That's great. Both are worthy groups and I heartily hope everyone will go this Friday to the concert at St. . Cajetan's. L!NFORTUNATEL Y, some over-zealous and

On the evening of Oct. 7, St. Cajetan's Center braced itself for a sacrilegious experience. British band Kitchens of Distinction landed in Denver as part of its Strange Free World tour. Opening for them was Kingmaker and Bleach, bands also from Britain. Kitchens of Distinction is named after a popular advertising slogan seen in England.

'There's no chance of being cool, (if) . you've taken your sunglasses off.' Their first album, "Love is Hell," was released in 1989, while their second album, "Strange Free World," was released in 199 l. The title of their third album, "Death of Cool," is both a tribute to the late Miles Davis and a reference to the band's general notions about being "cool." 'There's no chance of being cool," said lead singer Patrick Fitzgerald in a· phone

Cocteau Twins and Echo and the Bunnymen. It is amazing that only three men can produce such a tremendous sound, which is all acoustic. In this case, the modern technology of a recording studio may have lent a helping hand. Their show at St. Cajetan' s will hopefully prove they carry their tunes on their own. Fitzgerald ' s distinctive voice wafts through a variety of songs, ranging from Gothic placidity that will rock you to sleep, heard in the song, Made in Heaven, to existential ecstasy that will have you slam dancing across the floor. The lyrics are intelligent as well. "Made in Heaven" describes the heavenly pleasures of Marilyn Monroe in the afterlife , while "Breathing Fear" is a striking treatise on the brutal treatment of gays. " ...we've been beate~, insulted, skewered and branded ... All you've given is grief "' for centuries now ...Can it ever rest?" It takes a few spins of the Death of Cool album to get the gist of Kitchens of Distinctions. At first, they could be passed off as just another British band. But at closer glance, the distinction of Kitchens of Distinctions will be very apparent.

Kitchens of Distinction definitely comes from the same gene pool as some of the 1980s British new wave pop groups that were immortalized by bands such as the

Jewish students take time out for high holidays Rosh Hashana and Yorn Kippur mark the start of the Hebrew new year Hero Montilla Staff Writer

It's that time of year again, when Jewish students on campus miss class in order to observe the two holiest Jewish holidays of the year, Rosh Hashana and Yorn Kippur. The sounding of the Shofar, or ram' s horn, in the synagogue marks the coming of these holidays. This year, Rosh Hashana was on Sept. 28 and Yom Kippur was on Oct. 7. Rosh Hashana is the Jewish New Year, celebrating the creation of the world. According to the Hebrew calendar, 1992 is the year 5753.

'It's a time to start anew and fresh, it's a time of self reflection, a time to take a good, hard look at yourself .

MSCD students help design revolutionary wheelchair for IDE Dave Boersma The Metropolitan

In some far-off country a man sits in a squalid hut and pulls himself across the floor with his arms, unable to go outside because he does not have a wheelchair. This will not go on much longer, however, thanks to some MSCD students. Students in MSCD ' s E lectronics Engi neering Department and Art Departm ent will design a prototype wheelchair made to handle rugged terrain, unpaved roads and have a low center of gravity so it will not fall over on uneven surfaces. The project was started by International Development Enterprises (IDE), a nonprofit company that plans to

he lp Third - World countries set up factories to build wheelchairs. IDE develops ind ustries in ThirdWorld countries that cannot afford to start businesses and upon completion gives control of the industries to the government. Because of the abse nce of manufacturing facilities and the high cost, many residents of Third-World countries do not have access to wheelchairs. According to IDE Pr~sident Paul Polak, Third-World residents who cannot walk are often left helpless and have no way of leaving their house. "A wheelchair offers them a way to get out and be part of society," Polak said. "Traditional wheelchairs do not have the ability to handle the rough terrain and

Another important feature of the whee lc h air must be its price. Most wheelchairs cost $200 or more in western countries. " The wheelchair will cost around fifty dollars," Polak said. " Two hundred dollars is a year's income in many Third-World countries." Knoll said last spring's advanced and intermediate design classes worked very hard on the project. " Because of its design this wheelchair will be very different from a typical wheelchair," Knoll said. "We are working on preliminary prototypes that are built by the students." When a final design is completed, the students in the technology department will create the fi nal product. Knoll estimated completion of the project to be November or December.

IDE contacted MSCD technology professor, Dr. John Schmidt about having students design and build prototypes. Schmidt' s class will build the prototype. MSCD design instructor, John Knoll will have his class design the model. "We' re field testing right now," Polak said. "Because the daily activities in these countries is lower to the ground , th e wheelchair must sit lower than a normal wheelchair." The wheelchair must also provide seating and support for services fo.r the user," Polak said. " This will prevent pressure sores for the user."

Forced removal of the Dineh and Hopi people, and the mining of copal and uranium on Big Mountain despite the wishes of the true caretakers of the land, is an example of the continued U.S . threat to their sovereignty; THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED, that the STUDENT GOVERNMENT at METROPOLITAN STATE COLLEGE OF DENVER adamantly opposes the celebration of Columbus Day, in solidarity with the surviving indigenous populations of this hemisphere.

SPORTS Women's soccer takes lumps on California roadtrip Roadrunners go 0-2; key players suffer injuries Mike Robuck Sports Editor

The MSCD women's soccer team won't be "California dreamin" for some time after losses to the University of California-Polytechnic Pomona, 6-2, and the University of California-San Bernardino, 2-1, in double overtime. "Basically, everything that could have went wrong for us went wrong," said coach Ed Montojo. ·

'The officiating throughout the whole game was unbelievable' -Coach Ed Montejo Cal-Poly brought a No.17 national NCAA Division II ranking to the Oct. l game against the Roadrunners. Montojo described the opponent as big, athletic and fast. "We played hard against them. But by the second half, they had just worn us down," Montojo said. The 'Runners got on the board first with freshman Cindy Bank's first collegiate goal. Cal-Poly answered back with two goals for a 2-1 halftime lead.

The game started to unravel for MSCD in the second half when defender Trina Gerstner, already playing with back spasms, was· tripped. Gerstner's knee went into her chest and chin. The Cal-Poly player' s knee went into Gerstner's back before falling on top of her. Gerstner went out of the game. "We had to reorganize our defense," Montojo said. "In about a 10 minute span they scored four goals while we were trying to get organized. We settled down and scored again late in the game." Anna Martinez took a free kick from Melissa Villani and headed the ball into the goal. Aside of Gerstner's sore back, Bank's hurt her ankle in the game and defensive player Renee Richie tore ligaments in her ankle in a previous game. Montojo said 11 of the 14 players were treated by the trainer after the game. The injuries weren ' t over for the Roadrunners. Against Bernardino, Rosie Durbin, who has taken turns with Martinez holding the team's scoring title, was sandwiched between two players and suffered a broken collarbone. "After they got Rosie off the field and headed to the hospital, they called the foul on her," Montojo said. "It was

The officiating throughout the whole game was unbelievable. He gave the game to them." Montojo said the referee consistently called a bad game, which resulted in Montojo getting a yellow card for his protests. "We thought we had the winning goal in regulation and we were called offside," Montojo said. "Then with a minute left in the last overtime, we were called for tripping, and they scored on a penalty kick to win.

"He (the referee) allowed open warfare out there. Bernardino ' s coach knew they got away with one. He told me it was a hollow victory for them." Banks was only able to play five minutes against Bernardino and Julie Monturn played with a hip pointer. Barring a miracle, Durbin is out for the season and Richie could be out two to three more weeks. "We're just trying to patch it all back together," Montojo said. "We still have' some tough games ahead."

Volleyball player finds there's no place like home Former Cherry Creek star Stacy Goldsberry is a welcome addition to team Mike Sallier Sports Reporter

It's not very often that a walk-on can come te a new program and instantly provide great play as well as good leadership. However, outside hitter Stacy Goldsberry, a senior transferin her first year at MSCD, has done just that in giving the women's volleyball team a lift and a very consistent player. "Stacy was a complete surprise," said Coach Rhonda McMullen. "We are very lucky to have her." Goldsberry, a local product who went to Cherry Creek High School, came to MSCD from Azusa Pacific University in

'Stacy was a complete surprise. We are very lucky to have her.' - Coach Rhonda McMullen

California where she saw different kinds of volleyball playing as well as different lifestyles. "It (Azusa) was smaller than my high school," Goldsberry said. "But, it was nice not being a number in class. I felt at home." Going to a Colorado college wasn't even in the picture as Goldsberry was intent on going to a school in either California or Florida. "I wanted to.go out to California real bad," Goldsberry said. "I had visited other schools out there and I decided that since California is closer to Colorado then I would go to a school out there." However, living away from home got to Goldsberry along with the California lifestyle. "It was very fast paced in California and I just got tired of the L.A. scene." During her three year 's tint at ·A zusa, Goldsberry played against some good teams while being named to all-conference teams her last two years. She was also named to several all-tournament squads for a team that went to the NAIA national championship tournament and finished in fifth place.

But it was a need to go to a higher level as well as be closer to home, that brought Goldsberry back to Denver and to MSCD. "She contacted me and asked about walking on to the team," McMullen said. "Then I watched her play at our two-on two tournament and she did well." Goldsberry, along with another transfer, Lora Houdek ( Me s a State) , played together for the first time and won the tournament. "I was a little bit rusty," Goldsberry said. "I took some time off from volleyball during the off-season, but we did good." Coming to this team from another squad was difficult at first. It took time to readjus,t but Goldsberry found her game quickly and has considerably contributed to the team this season. "Coming from a different team , I didn 't know bow they would accept me," Goldsberry said. "At first I was having problems with my passing, but I've done well lately and we're playing good together as a team." So far, Goldsberry has been a good addition to a team full of talent. She ranks second on the team, behind senior outside hitter Dana Stright, in kills per game averaging just under three and she's second on the team in hitting percentage, behind sophomore middle blocker Crissy Canada, at a 25 percent success rate. As a testimony to her great play, after the Central Missouri Tournament, a tournament in which the Roadrunners met up against the No. 2 ranked team in Division II , North Dakota State , Goldsberry, as well as Stright, were named to the all-tournament team. "They played well," McMullen said. "They played the whole tournament very consistently." When not on court spiking the ball, Goldsberry spends her time working towards her major in psychology. After graduating, Goldsberry ' s early plans include getting a masters in social psychology which she hopes to use to help people. "I want to work with people," she said. "I'm not completely sure yet but, I think about maybe becoming a high school counselor." While she's still here, Goldsberry's immediate plans include continuing to help

the 'Runners win and perhaps gain a place at the national championship tournament at year ' s end. One thing Goldsberry is looking forward to is a possible rematch with Portland State (No. l in the nation) and North Dakota State (No. 3). "It was fun to battle it out with those teams earlier this year, " she said. "However, the teams in our conference can't be taken too lightly by us." Besides getting to play with this talented team, Goldsberry is also excited that she gets to play at home again in front

of her family. "It's hard leaving from such a close family," she said. "Now it's great because they get the chance to see me play." Goldsberry' s family has been equally excited about seeing their daughter play again as they have been to all of the matches the Roadrunners have played in except for the tournament in California. "My family has always supported me," Goldsberry said. "They watch rne play as much as they can and they are my number one fans."

The MSCD Rugby Club, down one player because of an ejection, pulled out a win in the last minute of the match Oct. 3 against Teikyo Loretto Heights University for the club's third division victory, 17-13. Team captain John Solomon was ejected in the second half for kicking at a pile of players. "John saw someone elbowing our players while they were down and kicked one of their players in the side," said team President James Castellano. Down 8-0 at the half, Metro's Marc Nelson scored an unassisted try in the second half. Brian Lambert broke away • with the ball before passing off to teammate Brett Shull for the second try. The conversion attempt by David Mun was successful.

Teikyo scored to give them a 13-12 lead with a minute left. MSCD scrumhalf Chris Peck broke through a line out for the wining score. MSCD is 3-1 in division matches and 6-3 overall. "We're playing D.U. at home this ' Saturday and they are our main rivals," Castellano said. "We've designated the game as Parents Day and as homecoming. There will be food and refreshments and we hope people come out to watch. It should be a great game."

A final farewell to the entire staff of The Metropolitan and to the staffs that have worked, stressedout, laughed and learned along with me over the past four years. After graduating this summer, I can say that a large portion of the knowledge that I have gained about people, responsibilities and newspaper experience came from my position at The Met. Good luck to the Met and thanks to Kate Lutrey for her patience and camaraderie. I will miss those from the present as well as those from the past.

Nonnan Maclean

University of Chicago, $9.95 paper

Prom its first magnificent sentence, "In our famUy, there was no clear line between religion and fly t1shing," to the last, "I am haunted by waters," this relBBue of an American classic Is rea.d,y to be disoovered by a new generation. Based on Norman Ma.clea.n's childhood experiences, the title novella. ha.s established Itself a.s one of the most moving stories of our time; It ca.ptiva.tes readers with vivid descriptions of life along Montana's Big Bla.ckfoot River a.nd Its near magical blend of fly fishing with the troubling affections of the hes.rt.

The Secret History Donna Tartt

Knopf, $23.00 cloth

These are the confessions, years a.fterwa.rd, of a young man who found a.t a small Vermont college the life of privilege and intellect he'd long coveted. Riche.rd Pa.pen is drawn into the ultimate Inner c!role: five students, worldly a.nd self-assu red, selected by a charisma.tic classics professor to pa.rtlclpa.te in the search for truth a.nd bea.ucy. Together they study the mysteries of ancient Greek culture a.nd spend long weekends at a.n old country house, reading, boat.Ing, basking In an Indian sumer that stret.ches into autumn. Mesmerized by his new comrades, Riche.rd Is una.wa.re or the crime which they have committed In his dreamy, unwitting presence. But once taken Into their confidence, he a.nd the others slowly begin to believe In the necessity of murdering the one classmate and friend who might betray both their secret a.nd their future. Ambitious and compulsively readable, this debut novel le a. chronicle of deception a.nd complicity, of na.lvete corrupted by self-Jove and moral arrogance; finally, It is a powerful story of guilt and responsibility.

The wonders of The Wizard of Oz consti-

tute one of our great cultural Icons, a.nd In this a.uda.clous novel Geoff Ryman fuses the myth's disparate elements of fiction a.nd history a.nd extends its Jega.cy Into the present de,y. Wa.s recounts the "rea.1" life a.nd times of Dorothy Ga.el, a.n orphan who In 1875 went to live with Aunt Em a.nd Uncle Harry near Manha.tta.n, Ka.nsa.s. Numbed by the hardscrabble fa.rm life and abused by her relatives, Dorothy can only clutch her dog Toto and hope ... until a. kindly tea.char (Frank L. Baum) provides the pivotal moment in both their lives: he goes on to write the life she should have had; she runs away, ending up In a.n asylum where she will live for over half a century.

But Wa.s Is also the story of Judy Garland 'e stunted childhood a.nd unhappy fa.me; of Jona.than, who watched the first telecast of Oz while growing up In Ca.na.da.; a.nd of Bill Davison, who In 1956, working a.s an orderly in a.n Institution, befriends a.n old woman name "Dotty" and unwittingly shows her the same bros.dee.st - with a happy ending she never knew In a life that had driven her Insane.

The Te of Piglet... In which a. gocxl dea.1 of Taoist wisdom ls revealed through the cha.racter a.nd actions of A .A. Milne's Piglet. Ptgl8t? Yes, Piglet. For better than impulsive

Tigger, or gloomy Eeyore, or intellectual Owl, or even lovable Pooh, Piglet herein demonstratee a. very important principle of Taoism: the Te a. Chinese word meaning Virtue of the Small.

Their cha.nee meeting happens a.t & time ln life when both a.re content; a.n a.ffa.lr Is unexpected a.nd somewhat uncomfortable. What occurs by the old bridges of Madison Councy becomes a. prism transforming the ordinary emotions we think we understand Into something rare a.nd brilliant. If ·the ta.le Is true, It Is a. remarkable love story; if not, It ls lyrical and moving prose.

All the Pretty Horses Connac McCarthy

Knopf, $21.00 cloth

Set In 1949, All the Pretty Horses tells about the coming of age of 16-yea.r old John Or&dy Cole a.t the losing end of long generations of Texa.s ranchers. Seeking a life tha.t In m idcentury America no longer exists, he travels to Mexico with his compa.nlons; the comic, painful journey yields the sort of wisdom that comes only of belief a.nd loss and excruciating pa.In. A novel of the fading of youth a.nd an American age, All the Pretty HoI'Bes Is rich In langu8€e a.nd cha.ra.cteriza.tlon, winning McCarthy widespread accla.!m a.nd comparison to Faulkner and Melville.
