Joseph Morrell, a MSCD professor, was "busted" Wednesday for "drunk driving" on the sidewalk at the Student Union. Denver officer John S. Blea, a DUI specialist, arrested Morrell after he failed sobriety tests.The mock arrest and trial was one of several events during Alcohol Awareness Week.

C:LARIFICATION In the Oct. 16 issue, The Metropolitan reported that Charles Angeletti was "fired" from his position as fac ulty adviser to Student Government. The resolution to have Angeletti dismissed was tabled at the Oct. 21 Senate meeting and will be considered at the Nov. 4 meeting, according to Thomas Mestnik, president of Student Government. In fact, Mestnik said Angeletti was never officially hired as the adviser to Student Government. Then, why the need for the resolution? Ask Student Government.

MSCD alumnus Virginia Castro is perhaps the most successful woman you ' ve never heard of. Her li st of accomplishments, such as being appointed the supervisor of the ' Denver Public School's 57 social workers and her countless volunteer efforts within the district and the Hispanic community, stand out.

Yet Castro, who will be honored along with Kay Schomp, Sister Loretto Anoe Madden, Miriam Goldberg, and Wilma Webb at MSCD's Plain and Fancy Ball as one of five "Persons of the year," has never gotten the recognition for her long standing service to the community.

The majority of her career was overshadowed by the impressive career of her late husband and five-time state house representative, Richard Castro. The late Hispanic activist's career in the community and in the state house has been widely documented. But Virginia's career has been widely ignored other than in the Hispanic community.

She wants to change this

" Many of the things that Rich accomplished were things that we worked on together," Castro said.

The Castros took virtually the same path. Virginia met her future husband in a class in 1970, while they were pursuing behavioral science degrees at MSCD. Together, they wrote a proposal for and received a federal grant to fund The Academia del Barrio, a center for Chicano children.

Antonio Esquibel, now associate vice president for the Office of Community Outreach' at MSCD, was appointed director of the summer school, which enrolled 200 Chicano children.

"The Castros were both very intelligent, dynamic people and Virginia has a very warm, personable quality, which is one of her strengths," Esquibel said.

Richard and Virginia were married in 1972 and have five children.

Richard died of a heart attack in April of last year and Virginia has pledged to continue the work that she and her husband began.

Among these projects are a book that entails the history of Hispanics in the state

legislature, commissioning a mural in the state capitol that will depict the contributions of Hispanics to the state, and the production of a video that will tell the Hispanic history for young people.

"One of the biggest problems Hispanics and other minority youth face is that there is no sense of history for them," Castro said.

Virginia's dark brown eyes widen and she speaks somberly when discussing the struggles minority youth faced when she was young and what they face today.

"I feel sorry for many of the young people growing up today because I think that there is less for them to look forward to, in their eyes, than what my generation had," Castro said.

That sense of idealism she cites from her youth is something Castro would like to instill into the youth she works with daily . She wants to instill that sense through example.

She has volunteered her time to organize and contribute to the development of programs in the districts that assist disadvantaged students. One program is the "Teen-parent support see Castro, page 5

Rosemary Dempsey, vice president for the National Organization for Women (NOW), began her activist career during the student anti-war and civi l rights movements of the 1960s.

"There is more activity on campuses today than there was during the sixties," Dempsey said in an interview.

Student rallies and demonstrations that 30 years ago used to get plenty of space in the media are no longer "big news," she said.

"A Time-Life survey conducted in December of 1991 showed that the majority of students on campuses all over the nation had, during the past six months, participated in at least two political events," Dempsey said. "The survey showed that student involvement in the nineties has increased by 500 percent, compared to the sixti~s.

Earlier this year, NOW initiated a "Together with all our volunteers, we "March For Equality" in Washington, have, on a national level, been able to get D.C., where 750,000 people participated.

"This is a turning point. We need to go out and vote against Amendment 2," Amendment 2 and NOW she said, referring to the amendment as "an attempt to promote discrimination and NOW's major task this fall is to fight to keep people down." three ballot initiatives, one of which is NOW is concentrating on supporting Amendment 2 in Colorado.

The amendment would prohibit gays women candidates who are against from claiming discrimination based on inequality and who have a liberal platform. their sexual orientation. The amendment "The corporate structure wants a would also make all existing freedom to fire staff based on the antidiscrimination laws, which prohibit employee's sexual orientation.

Feminist Issues "The feminist movement has not done away with the tremendous gender bias in the workplace all together, but we have opened doors," Dempsey said.

According to Dempsey, NOW ha, for the past 20 years, contributed to the enforcement of laws which make it illegal to discriminate against people based on their gender and sexual orientation, Dempsey said.

"We [women] have to get into positions of power, to keep the laws in place. The Reagan-Bush administration has played down women's roles in society," Dempsey said.

She said women need to be strong and aggressive about their rig hts in the workplace, without fear of being called feminists or lesbians.

"There is a direct connection between sexism and homophobia," Dempsey said.

"We can ' t change the system until the amount of women equals the amount of men out there. Then we can get beyond the definition of gender."

Today's Higher Education "The school politics are moving 路 backwards. We are in a terrible situation econom ically," Dempsey said.

"When I went to law school in 1977, I was a single mother with two kids. Today, it would be impossible for me to go through with the education in that situation," she said.

Acrnrding to Dempsey, federal grants have for the past few years been cut drastically and fewer people from lower income groups in society today have access to higher education.

"But, if we don't get past the basic issue of human rights," she added, "we cannot get to the real issues, like the economy of the country and the health care situation."

Amendment 2 would prohibit gays from claiming discrimination based on their sexual orientation. Colorado voters will decide on this and nine other amendments Nov. 3.

Music and comedy were featured at the rally, as were many notable speakers, including Rosemary Dempsey, vice president of the National Organization for Women (NOW).

"S lavery was a form of legal discrimination," Dempsey said. "So was a woman 's right to vote. lt was wrong then,

and Amendment 2 is wrong today."

"We all know this is about hate," Dempsey told the crowd. "This is a desperate attempt to turn back the clock.

This is the year to vote."

Jenny Chase, another featured speaker at the rally, spoke of her daughter, living in Washington, D.C., who is gay.

"S he wants to come home. But if Amendment 2 passes, she'll have to think twice," Chase said. "She is a responsible citizen, kind and loving, and is an asset to society. I would like her to come home."

Audience members were also greeted by "Rodney, The Human Condom," who distributed condoms in recognition of October being AIDS Awareness Month.

A co med ic touch was offered by speaker Sam Gallegos of te levision's "Lambda Report."

"Karl Mecklenberg (of the Denver Broncos) recently gave $500 to Colorado

for Family Values. Now, here's a man who gets paid to slap other men on the butts on national TV, runs around chasing men, showers with men .. . and he 's afraid of gays?" Gallegos asked the crowd.

"It doesn't make sense to hate gays," Gallegos said. "People who hate gays and lesbians must hate themselves."

Gallegos conclud ed his speech by offering the crowd a scenario of a girl going to the polls to vote, and is unable to decide how to vote.

"What' s a girl to do? Vote no on 2," Gallegos chanted.

administrators frustrated

Antoinette Vecchio Staff Writer After Auraria students move into the new Student Union at the Tivoli, the state is planning to take over the current Student Union and use it for academic space, said one MSCD administrator.

Student fees paid for the cu rrent Student Union and the three institutions (MSCD, UCO, CCD) and the Auraria Higher Education Center (AHEC) should not be making claims on it, said Karen Thorpe, assistant vice president for Student Affairs. " It 's not OK, it's just not OK," Thorpe said. " If the students own the building then they should be told they own the building and AHEC should ask _the students if they could use the building for academic space."

Thorpe said students should own the current Student Union because they have been paying on it for 15 years and are continuing to pay for it as part of the new bond that pays for the Tivoli.

However, MSCD President Thomas Brewer said the money paid into the current Student Union by the students constitutes a "gift" on behalf of the students to the state. ''The students are making a statement that the space situation is so critical that we (students) are making this space (the current Student Union) an academic building so that other students will have less of a problem than we had," he said.

Thorpe, however, said s§~§ she does not ~~5E know of any statement made by any student regarding the handing over L----" of the Karen Thorpe building.

"As far as I know, I have no document in my hand stating that the students relinquished the building," she said. "I am unaware of any process or procedure that was put in place for that transition."

The state wrongly assumed they can use the building, Thorpe said.

Thorpe said Auraria students should have control of the current Student Union and the three institutions should lease space from the students.

The money ra ised from the leases should be used to pay for the Tivoli, she added.

JoAnn Soker, executive vice president for AHEC, said students do not own the current Student Union nor do they have any ownership rights to the current Student Union. The money raised by student bond fees are used for operations and not for debt service, Soker said.

However, Gordon Scott, director of Administration and Business Services for AHEC, said the $22 per studen t per semester bond fees and other revenue from services provided at the current Student Union and the Tivoli are used to repay the debt service and to pay for the maintenance, operation and programs at

both buildings.

Soker told Th e Metropolitan that buildings purcha se d with student fees are usually not used for academic purposes, but said the c urrent Student Union will be used for offices and classrooms after students move into the Tivoli.

According to the Official Statement of the 1991 Bonds, which provides information on the bonds, AHEC borrowed $15,775,000 in the name of students to pay off the current Student Union and to buy back the lease on the • Tivoli from Trizec Corp.

The Official Statement says the proceeds from the sale of the bonds will be used "to finance the costs of refunding the Auraria Board's outstanding Student Facility Refunding Revenue Bonds, Series 1977 A" (including the current Student Un ion) and "to finance the costs of acquiring the leasehold interest in the Tivoli Denver complex."

In 1977, bonds were purchased and student fees were used to provide for student facilities including the current Student Union, student lounges and the Child Care Center.

In 1973, the Denver Urban Renewal Authority gave the Tivoli building to Auraria campus authorities. After Auraria students voted down a proposal by AHEC to turn the Tivoli into a student union , AHEC leased the Tivoli to Trizec Corp. in 1980. Trizec spent $35 million to renovate the Tivoli and created Tivoli Denver in 1985.

In I 990, AHEC cancelled Trizec 's lease because Trizec did not meet the requirement of having 75 percent occupancy five years after renovations were complete. Last spring, AHEC bought back the leasehold from Trizec Corp. for $6 million.

In April 1991, Auraria students voted to raise their student fees $3 to pay off the 1977 refunding bonds and to buy back the lease on the Tivoli.

"Who should pay for this {the Tivoli) now ? AHEC or the students?" asked MSCD history professor Phil Goodstein. " ...It's very much part of the campus and should be paid for the way other buildings are paid for and not by student fees," he said.

Construction of campus buildings are paid for by the state which appropriates money to AHEC throu g h capital construction funds. After construction is completed, AHEC maintains the buildings from their annual operating budget.

Scott said after the students move out of the current Student Union, the students' "equity" in the Union will be transferred to the Tivoli and the students would give up control of the current Student Union.

"Equity," Scott said, "is a concept and see Tivoli, page 5

Tivoli, from page 1 not a formal ownership interest."

When students move out of the current Student Union, it will become a state building, Scott said, and there is no plan by the state to pay rent on the building.

There are reaJly no tricks involved, he sii.id, adding the deal was good at the time.

While Soker admits the deal is not perfect, she said students will benefit because they acquired much more space for a minimal amount o{ money.

"What we really did was double the space of all activities in the Student Union," she said. "You're trading up a mortgage. You 're trading up a smaller, old house for a bigger, new house."

Auraria Board member Betty Miller said students and the board made an incredible deal on the Tivoli.

Negotiations went on for more than two years and there was a great deal of consultation with the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board (SACAB) which agreed with the plan, she said.

The Tivoli could not have been bought with just a $3 fee increase, Miller said. It needed equity from the current Student Union and revenue generated from businesses to pay off the total bonds, she said.

Although students voted to buy the

Tivoli and pay off the bonds in the current Student Union and to apply the equity to the Tivoli, it is unknown if the students were well informed, Miller said.

"You can never be sure students understand what they are voting for," she said.

Former SACAB member Daniel Wilson agreed, and said that in the case of the Tivoli referendum, it was almost impossible to know exactly what was being done.

The problem with this or any other referendum, Wilson said, is that there is low turnout and it is uncertain whether students know about the issues.

Miller said the renting of the current Student Union by the students " just doesn 't work that way."

"By law , the state owns the building-always. The state owns all the buildings on campus," Miller said.

Wilson agreed, but sa id the students' interests should be considered.

"In one sense, the building belongs to the students because students paid for it, but the state does own the building," he said.

One of the duties of the Auraria Board of Trustees is to protect the interests of the students, and in using the Student Union for academic purposes, Wilson said, the board "clearly has failed to protect our interests."

"I think we (students) were taken advantage of," he said.

Castro works to educate, Denver's inn.e r-city youth Castro from page 1 group," that works to ensure regular school attendance of teen parents. Another program she remains a part of and helped initiate is the district's Crisis Consultation team, that consists of on-call Denver Public School psychologists, nurses and social workers that avai l themselves to any school needing assistance after crises such as suicides, murders and other traumatic events.

Castro still hopes to accomplish more.

Eventually, she would like to become part of setting the curriculum, which she says falls short of meeting the needs of minority kids. " I want to become intricately involved in how we teach our kids. So many fall through the cracks and too often go unnoticed,'" she said.

To change what she calls lack of sensitivity in the curriculums, Castro would like to institute classes and teaching methods that incorporate the Hispanic, African-American and Asian cultures in the schools.

"I would like to ensure that some of these things would be put into motion by the district," Castro said.

Castro said many of the reasons that lead to insensitivity in the schools today results from the fac t that minorities, particularly Hispanics, have not become the voting force that they should.

" We have the numbers ; we're beginning to be taken seriously by [politicians], but still not voting in the numbers we should. It's time to take politics seriously. Otherwise, we're just numbers and little more. It 's time to become focused," Castro said.

For her part, Castro presides over a national organization called Women in Community Service, a consortium of various ethnic and women 's organizations that provides support services to young women coming from the federally funded Job Corps program.

Ruth Herman, executive director of Women in Community Service in Alexandria, Va., called Castro "dynamic," and "professional" and adds that Castro has been a driving force in keeping funding coming in for the Job Corps.

"She has a very close connection to young people, and that, r think, propels her. Yet, at the same time, she can deal effectively with her peers,".Herman said.

Esquibel concurs with Herman. "She has always been very suppo rtive of students and availed herself to them , which is her strength."

How would Castro like to be remembered?

"As an activist. Someone who was willing to look at the whole picture, see what part of that picture they could make a difference in, and do it."

Financial aid changes affect independent students~ Chris Austin Staff Writer The l992 amendments to the Higher Education Act has the MSCD Financial Aid Office preparing for an onslaught of unhappy students.

Cheryl Judson, MSCD's director of financial aid, said MSCD co-sponsored a teleconference in the Auraria Student Union Oct. 15. The purpose of the teleconference was to help financia l aid administrators from around the state interpret how the reauthorization of the Higher Education Act by Congress would affect their various institutions.

One of the biggest c h a nges in financial aid, Judson said, is in the definition of an independent student. This year, students could claim independence if they are over 24-years-old, an orphan or

ward of the court, married, a veteran, or have dependents. [f none of these provisions were met, they could claim independence if they made $4,000 or more in a year and could prove they were able to live solely on that amount.

In 't 993, stud e nt s who achieved independent status by show ing that they lived on the $4,000 or more they earned w ill no longer be a ble to c la im ind ependence. Congress dropped that provision from the Higher Education Act, Judson said.

Mike Mraz, a theater major at UCD, was granted independent status in this way.

"It is really stupid," Mraz said. "I was living on my own with no help from my parents. Ju s t bec a use I wasn't 24, I couldn't file as an independent student like I did before. Fortunately , I was in the

Navy and could file as a veteran."

"They are trying to reduce the amount of money going to students," Judson said.

"Next year we are going to have a lot of unhappy students."

Judson said that in the past, many MSCD students had achieved independent status by showing they could live and go lo school on the amount of money that they earned.

Another big change brought about by the reauthorization was the total amount of loan money students are eligible to receive. The amount was raised to $64,000 dollars repayable over 30 years. J udson figures the monthly payments based on those figures to be around $427.

"That's li ke having a mortgage without a house," Judson said. "It's very scary."

Financial aid administrators had

hoped the reauthorization would have alleviated the Student Aid Report: the pink, colored piece of paper students have to mail back to their schools confirming their financial aid. Judson said that this did not happen. If the Student Aid Report had been eliminated, it would have streamlined the financial aid process, she said.

Judson encourages students to meet with counselors before applying for financial aid. " We are here to help the students," -4 Judson said. " We do more pre-loan counseling than any other school."

The Financial Aid Department is currently organiz in g extensive help outreach programs to assist students with the reauthoriz a tion of the Higher ., Education Act. These workshops will be advertised in advance, Judson said.

Election commission recruiting judges for election day Jeff Williams The Metropolitan The Denver Election Commission is seeking judges for the election Nov. 3. Applicants must be registered voters in Denver and affiliated with either the Democratic or Republican parties. Arlys Ward, executive director of the Denver Election Commission, said the Commission is lacking Republican applicants.

The Commission wilt take applications up to election day, but earlier applicants will have priority. Interested

Republicans need to call Sue Allen at 640-4985 and Democrats need to call Inez Schaffer at 640-5955.

Judges are responsible for overseeing the voting process. They assist at the polls, check to see if the voter is registered in that precinct and give the voter a voting card. They also enforce the electioneering law, which states that partisan demonstrations can not take place within I 00 feet of the voting building.

At the end of the voting day, the judges take the count from the voting machines to the City and County Building

in Denver. The job involves a lot of paperwork and patience. Election judges need to attend a 3 hour class and be prepared to work on election day from 6 a.m. to I 0 p.m. at the latest. They are paid $75 for election day and $5 for attending the class.

Ward said the Commission is interested in recruiting ,. some younger judges. "Many of our judges have been judges for 40 or more years," Ward said. "We would like to encourage students to participate in this very important part of the political process."

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

America follows history of decline FRANKLY SPEAKING SHAWN CHRISTOPHER Cox

Historians believe some generalizations can be made about nations in decline. The study of Rome's decline is the most common example. Some people believe that America has seen its "Golden Age" and will continue to degenerate. America, if it is in decline , and Rome, in its decline, have similar characteristics.

Economics is very complicated and difficult to understand because every aspect of an economy has some effect on the economy as a whole. Most arguments for economic cause and effect come down to the ''which came first" theory. For instance, is the decrease in the value of the dollar caused by inflation or is inflation caused by the decrease in the value of the dollar? There are arguments to support both theories.

"Romanomics" contributed to the fall of Rome, just as Reaganomics is contributing to the decline of America. When great nations spread the gap between rich and poor and deplete the middle class, recession hovers, possibly claiming the life of a great civilization. Pre-deCline Roman and recent American agriculture is the best example of how this may happen. In Rome, small farms were taken over by the government which replaced paid farm workers with slaves. The farms became large estates run by tenant farmers.

The same thing is happening in America, with slight differences. Instead of our government taking over small family farms, it is the large corporations.

In 1988, a record 650 ,000 family farms were

foreclosed on and taken over by large corporations.

This continues to happen. Corporations hire people to work; but, just like tenant farmers in Rome , American farm workers make less than they could if they owned their own farms. While not helping family farmers keep their farms , Reaganomics both provided the big farming corporations with tax breaks and allowed the corporations to pay people low wages.

The rich got richer in Rome with their large farm estates. And the rich are getting richer in America by foreclosing on family farmers a路nd then letting corporations hire them at low wages, instead of helping them out before they lose their farms.

The declining economies of Rome and America affected not only the farmers, but the whole middle class as well. One characteristic of a declining economy is that the earning power of the majority depletes. The depletion of earning power of the majority or middle class directly led to the fall of Rome because the middle class was the backbone of Rome's economy. Their earning power decreased because their wages were decreasing and their taxes were not.

Realizing that the middle class is also the backbone of our economy, we should be frightened because this is happening in America. Once again, this may be attributed to Reaganomics. During the 1980s, middle class incomes did not proportionately increase as compared to the incomes of the rich.

The corporate heads are still getting their annual raises well above the percentage increase of inflation- and keeping their jobs.

On the other hand, middle class workers are losing their earning power because their raises do not proportionately match the increase of inflation. In addition to not being able to keep up with inflation, the middle class also pays the most in taxes. Taking all of this into consideration, the final result is that the dollar continues to decrease in value, which

means recession.

The backbone of our economy is not only shafted when it comes to earning power, but by tightening budgets as well. When budgets need to be cut, either in ancient Rome or America, the top is not affected as much. For example, take a school district. Administrators are rarely cut or subjected to a reduction in wages. Teachers, on the other hand, are the first to go. This is another example of the division of classes. As Jesse Jackson reminds us, Reagan believed that the rich had too little money and the poor had too much. Because of this, reverse Robin Hood took place in the 1980s. This country, because of Reaganomics, took from the poor and gave to the rich, paid for by the middle class. This has led us into recession in the 1990s. Is there any hope for America?

Even though this great country is heading into a recession, and possibly a depression , one should still have hope that we can pull ourselves out of this mess. America, unlike Rome, had the advantage of history to learn from, both the history of other great civilizations and of our own country. But, it will take time and drastic change to get back on our feet again. Those who had the party in the 1980s will have to pay up. If not, a depression is inevitable.

When we bring fairness back to all classes, then our economy will thrive again.

Even though drastic changes will have to be made, one should still have hope and faith in America. We have the freest civilization in the history of the world and with freedom comes intellectualism and resolution of problems. If America learns from history instead of just studying it, such as Rome did, we can become an even greater nation than we once were.

One can learn from history and, first, make a difference by voting for Bill Clinton Nov. 3. This will be the beginning of pulling this nation out of the Reaganomic disaster created in the 1980s.

Ethnicity factor in way courses are taught I am writing in response to Jeff Martinez's article on the dispute between Professor Charles Angeletti and the Institute for lntercultural Studies and Services. Dr. Angeletti is quoted as accusing Dr. Akbarali Thobhani of racial discrimination, and is

said to be claiming that Afro-American Studies has refused to crosslist his course, "Topics in AfricanAmerican History," solely because he is white. It is important that your readers (and Dr. Angeletti) be aware of my P._osition at MSCD before pursuing this topic further.

I am a European-American, and I am an art historian who specializes in the art of Africa.

Dr. Thobhani was a member of the MSCD Art Department 's search committee which hired me three years ago, and he has been enormously supportive ever since. Both Dr.Thobhani and Dr. C.J. White have invited me to speak to their classes , and have provided me with helpful counsel and encouragement. With one exception (due to a lack of attention to paperwork on the part of our departments), my courses on African art and African-American art have always been crosslisted with Afro-American Studies.

I am personally concerned with the attitudes conveyed in the remarks attributed to Dr.

Angeletti. If Dr. Angeletti is indeed aware of the complexity of issues facing African-Americans in the 1990s, he surely realizes that the ethnic identity of the instructor is a crucial factor in the way a course is taught. I have lived in Africa for more than tour years, and I spent eight years in graduate school studying African cultures. However, my students continually educate me about my own limitations, leading me to new understandings of the ways my inability to claim an African heritage creates biases in t he way I respond to material. I do not acknowledge this because I am a politically correct, masochistic libera l, but because I be lieve in intellectual honesty.

Before developing a course entitled "Art and Cultural Heritage," I thought long and hard about whether I was qualified to teach a class featuring the work of contemporary artists who identify themselves as African-American, Native American, Hispanic-American, and Asian -American. While I agree that "everyone should be applauding that Angeletti wants to teach the course" (the quotation attributed to Dr. Jackson), I hope that Dr. Angeletti has done some similar soul searching before offering "Topics in African American History." I also hope that he understands the importance of gathering feedback from both colleagues and students while preparing and teaching multi-cultural courses.

LETTERS

THE METROPOLITAN

Hypocrisy shown at Jackson rally Keep hope alive. These words filled the air as the Rev. Jesse Jackson spoke to a sea of people Oct. 12. With each word he spoke and each eloquent phrase he uttered you could feel a wave of emotion rush through the crowd. I cannot recall a time, in the two-and-a-half years I have been a student at MSCD, that I have seen the students of Auraria Campus so united. Jackson created an atmosphere of love, peace and hope. As students stood arm in arm I had the overwhelming feeling that it was possible for things to change. The feeling that our generation could escape our past and move on to walk as one people, respecting each other's differences.

Jackson had another important message, that in order for things to change we had to take an active role in our government and force the change. The active role he was speaking of was voting. The message was so inspiring that a large group of students marched downtown, led by Jackson, to cast the first ballots of the 1992 election.

As we marched, I was behind a woman who was proudly displaying her Bush/Quayle banner. The moderating speaker of the rally, Alvertis Simmons, yelled at the woman to "put the damn sign down."

She refused. Simmons then told her, "either you put the damn sign down or you get the hell out of line."

She refused. Shortly thereafter, Simmons yanked the

banner out of her hand and tore it to shreds. Now, don't get me wrong-I am not a supporter of George Bush, nor a crusader for the Republican Party, but I am a strong proponent of the First Amendment and that woman was well within her rights displaying that banner.

I will remember Alvertis Simmons, his face, the words he spoke into the microphone, and his great affection for Jackson. I will remember him not as a great speaker but as a great hypocrite. He so adamantly endorsed Jackson, but he refused to act out the very values that Jackson spoke of.

I always thought differences referred not only to skin color, but to language, origin, culture, sex, religion and ideas. That woman had every right to express herself and her ideas, but that right was stripped from her by one man who ref used to accept her and her difference of opinion. Remember, this woman was marching with us to vote, to make a difference. I was disgusted by the action of Alvertis Simmons, but most importantly, I was discouraged.

In the midst of all the peace and hope, this individual proved to me that we still have a long way to go before we can walk as one people.

Multiculturalism furthers humanity

••

America is slowly but surely becoming a more pluralistic society. Evidence of this is the emergence of multicultural thought, which is not a fad, but a demographic reality.

To be an effective leader/activist in today's society one must speak of destroying sexism as well as racism. To address one and not the other is to limit yourself in appeal and effectiveness. For those of us who have dedicated our lives to being a voice for and to the voiceless, it is imperative that we incorporate the plight of oppressed women into our thoughts and actions.

Now that it has been firmly established that white western males were not alone in the making of history and have repeatedly failed in their attempt(s) to impose their experiences on the world as being universal, we can now move on to the next stage of human progress.

Courses in women's/minority studies should be a requirement at all institutions of higher learning. The worst possible effect that I can think of is one in which women will more clearly see the contributions to society/civilization , raising self-esteem . And for men, maybe in learning of there contributions by/of women will treat them with more respect (God forbid social equals). Conclusion: history is also their-story as well as her-story. It would seem to me in an age of information and expanded knowledge, that people enrolled in college would pursue a wider range of courses to broaden their perspective(s) on many

realities that will not only affect their lives but, more importantly, the lives of their children.

For those students who consider themselves people-oriented and are consciously and consistently working for social change to advance humanity, you will be wise in taking such 'courses. We must always remember that those who preceded us in struggle made sacrifices in many forms to ensure that such courses would even be offered. There is a debt to be repaid. The many women and men who gave their lives for human advancement can only be paid back in one way: for our generation to continue the struggle for future generations. This is a debt of inheritance.

Am I a feminist? I'll let you decide. Am I advocating feminism? Yes! For the simple reason that sexism is an evil just as insidious as racism.

When people live under a system which is unjust, immoral, corrupt and based upon exploitation (capitalism) , then all forms of oppression must be uprooted , beat back, and destroyed , includ ing sexism.

Keep in mind that this world does not belong to us. We are only reserving it for our children in hope that they will live and learn at a higher level than ourselves. Let us contribute to the march of humanity.

It was under the cold drizzle of a San Francisco night in I 985 during a candlelight vigil march for slain politicians Harvey Milk and George Moscone, that the Names Project AIDS Memorial Quilt was born.

Photos by Jeff Milich

The international display of the Names Project AIDS Memorial Quilt in Washington D.C. Oct. 9-11.

Earlier that day, Cleve Jones, a gay rights activist and organizer of the vigil , read in a newspaper that over 1,000 San Francisco residents had died from AIDS . The impact of that number inspired Jones to ask marchers to write down the names of someone they had known who had died of the disease. The names, written on pieces of cardboard, were taped to the wall of the San Francisco Federal Bu ilding, where the group had marched.

'This quilt is a monstrosity, a horribly terrible piece of evidence of the f~ilure of. our nation.'

As Jones looked upon the lines and patterns of the bricks, names and cardboard, it reminded him of a quilt-his grandmother's-a traditional, warm, secure symbol of America.

'I thought, that 's the symbol to match with this disease that' s killing faggots and junkies, black women and children and others our society has not come to value,' he said.

The 38-year-old gay activist, who is now running for a seat on San Francisco's City Council, spoke to a small group of people Thursday night as part of AIDS Awareness Month, sponsored by MSCD Student Activities at the Auraria Campus.

The Names Project AIDS Memorial Quilt did not begin until a year later when a friend of Jones, who had the AIDS virus, died.

One night, after grieving the death with friends, the first quilt panels were made.

Using fabric and spray paint, the personalities of the

deceased were memorialized by designing and sewing symbols significant to those people into the fabric. Later, they sewed together four panels and displayed them at the Gay and Lesbian Pride Parade. Shortly thereafter, packages came pouring in, packages filled with panels, made by people inspired by their idea. " As we were passing these packages to the car, we realized that each package we were tossing was a person," Jones said.

"Strangers around the country were sitting down in their Jiving rooms telling stories about their loved ones and they were putting their love and hopes for the future down in this fabric."

A year and a day after his best friend's death, on October 11 , 1987, the first quilt was unfolded in Washington, D.C. during the National March in Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights, with 1,920 panels in the quilt.

MSCD student Jeff Milich went to Washington, D.C. this year to see the quilt. Milich told The Metropolitan that the full impact of the quilt did not hit him until he stood atop the Washington Monument and viewed the quilt from above.

"I was overcome and overwhelmed by its sheer dimension and the fact that I was looking down on all those lost lives," he said.

Jones now lectures about the quilt and the AIDS virus in high schools and at other engagements across the country. His efforts have raised more than $1,000,000 for hundreds of AIDS service organizations. " In a truck named Stella, six brave lesbians took the quilt around to towns d isplaying it. The quilt serves as a powerful symbol to the world about the health crisis and illustrates all kinds of lives invaded by the mv virus," Jones said.

At this October's showing in Washington, D.C., the quilt had grown to over 22,000 panels including panels from 30 different countries. Since 1987, more than three million people have visited the quilt in over 700 displays worldwide.

"This quilt is a monstrosity, a horribly terrible piece of evidence of the failure of our nation," Jones said.

He criticized President Bush's administration for not doing

enough about the disease, and being HIV positive himself, felt that his life depended on the outcome of this presidential election. Education for the young is urgently needed, he said, but better communication, about the disease to the public, is needed.

"Cookie" brings lifetime of transforming experiences to theater department Kim Brown The Metropolitan

If a perfume were to be named after Marilyn Hetzel, associate professor and director of theater at MSCD, it would be named "Spirit."

Students see Hetzel as the driving force behind the successful theater program.

"She is so knowledgeable about everything," said MSCD senior Peter von Payens, during a break from auditioning for the upcoming production of "The Madwoman of Chaillot" (pronounced SHY-YO), a 1947 farcical comedy written by Jean Giraudoux, which brings to life the demise of bigbusiness wheeler-dealers by an eccentric "mad" Parisian woman and her three friends.

"Hers is the only class I've had where you get into conversations about anything from quantum physics to Greek history," said Philippe Marquis, a second-year MSCD freshman and friend of von Payens.

Marquis and von Payens, who are active in the theater program, speak highly of their instructor, "Cookie," a nickname given to her by her grandfather years ago.

"I've heard from people who have been to other schools that say 'Cookie' is the best. We are blessed to have her at Metro," Marquis said.

Von Payens appreciates more than Hetzel's teaching methods.

"She instills a professionalism that's the closest thing to being there in a big production. It's not all fun and games," von Payens said.

Hetzel came to MSCD in 1987 with an impressive resume that reads like a fairy tale, including a Ph.D. in theater and dance from the University of Colorado at Boulder, teaching jobs at the Uni.versities of Colorado, and in Wisconsin, Denver and Pittsburgh, and instructor/coach at the Denver Center for Performing Arts.

One of the dazzling, fairy-tale jobs, the Semester at Sea, 1985, left an im~ression on her already unique lifestyle. The Semester at Sea, a Shipboard Education program taught through the University of Pittsburgh,

set sail for I 0 countries in 100 days.

On board the 18,000 ton ship, she taught and directed plays.

"That was a transforming experience. There was intense ship life and then intense life in each of the countries. It was like a major 'Outward Bound,' Hetzel said.

Hetzel's travel s also took her to Russia in March 1991 as one of 25 Cookie Hetzel delegates for the Association for Theater in Higher Education. They then teamed with the People to People Citizen's Ambassadors to warm up the Cold War and bring ties to the American and Russian theater programs. Some liaisons were made with Russian instructors, she said, but communications were cut off after the coup of August 1991.

What she remembers most about the visit was the social unrest before the coup. There was major security because of a strike and stand-off with then Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev. Police harassed one of the team's members at Red Square in a mix-up as the group toured the square.

He was held by police until an interpreter was found to tell police who the man was with and why he was there.

At this time, Hetzel's schedule is full with the production of "The Madwoman of Chaillot." Although auditions are over for the "Madwoman," she stresses that all MSCD students are welcome to try out for all MSCD productions. Acting experience is not a prerequisite.

"A person needs to have a willingness to try, to take risks," she said.

"That's what theater is all about, creative problem-solving. The truth is always there, and you can't stomp it out."

Men's soccer team looks for more firepower Mike Robuck

...

"

•,

Sports Editor Cited from Webster's New World Dictionary, "goal: in certain games the line, crossbar, or net over which the ball or puck must be passed to score b) the act of scoring c) the score made."

Goals. Too bad Webster·s can't tell the MSCD men's soccer team how to get more of them.

The Roadrunners lost Colorado Athletic Conference games to the University of Southern Colorado, Oct. 17, 2-1, in overtime and tied the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs, Oct. 20, 1- l, in overtime. Both games were at Auraria fields. " We should of won because we out .played them ," said team captain Mike Lockwood after the UCC game. "It's not one player, we 're all playing well, but we're not putting the ball in the net."

Against UCC the Roadrunners had 21 shots on goal to their opponents I 0. " Our No. I problem right now is not scoring when we have the opportunities," said coach Al Ashton. "I'm disappointed.

We played good team soccer but we're not finding the answers to scoring goals."

A snapshot example of MSCD's scoring problem came in the first half when sophomore Jeremy Loring was open in front of the goal. Loring's shot skipped off the top of the crossbar and rolled

harmlessly out into the grass.

Loring, at least, made up for his missed opportunity by scoring a goal with a minute left in the first period.

Loring's goal came from a free kick by Leonard Trujillo. Trujillo arched the ball from the right side! ine and Loring headed the ball through the goalie's finger tips and into the right side of the net. It looked easy.

"I kinda' knew he was coming at me with the ball,'.

Loring said.

UCC scored 15 minutes into the second half when forward Torin Haskell bounced a ball off a MSCD defender into the goal. The Roadrunner players and coaches protested the goal because the lin esman had •IM"'-iiMJl\ii raised his flag, indicating that UCC was offside e:::.,;_...._..:.;,:;;,__.....;;....t.\::ii...2...~'""-'L-.....;;.....;,;~::\9-i3 Dominic Chavez/The Metropolitan " I think the referee talked the linesman out of . ff .d II ,, Junior Greg Oakley, left, battles for the ball with a UCC player ma k mg an o s1 e ca , .

"See ya !" Evans screamed to Didon ato before Didonato attempted to choke start Evans by throttling him around the neck .

Didonato was ejected with a red card and Evans received his fifth yellow card in five games, which will keep him out of the game against Fort Lewis this Saturday.

Roadrunner goalie Andy Mosier received a yellow card in the !>econd overtime for telling the referee to remove his head out of another part of hi!> body in order to see better.

After another missed shot on goal, Mosier screamed at his teammates: "Put the ball in the goal, how hard can it be?"

The ' Runners top scoring threat, Leonard Trujillo, was playing on an injured right knee. Trujillo Jed the CAC in ' scoring last season as a sophomore, but clearly wasn't himself against UCC. "It's stiff and I cant really kick with it," Trujillo said.

It may not say how to score goals in Webster's Dictionary, but coach Ashton has a few of his own theories.

"It's a matter of composure," Ashton said. "We've got to learn to stay composed in front of the goal. We've got to realize that even though we,re are going to get hit, we have to stay composed and get a good shot off."

The ' Runners are 8-5- l for tlie season and 4-3-1 in conference.

The Metro Rugby Club came full circl e with its 39-10 thrashing of Colorado College Oct. 17 at Auraria fields.

"We went from last place in the spring to first place in the fall in our league," said coach Jeff Porter. "We really turned it around."

Shin Sakuari scored three unassisted trys for Metro on break away runs.

"Shin was very impressive," Porter said. "He found the holes and made it on his own. Everyone came togethor and played as a team in this one."

The club fin ished the season undefeated in league play, 5-0, and 8-3 overall. Metro's losses were against First Division teams , but Porter said the success of this fall might bump his team up from Second Division to First for the spring season.

"We' re very pleased with the season," Porter said. " We have most of the team returning and we have the building blocks in place for spring."

Going into the 13th annual MSCD Volleyball Invitational Oct. 9-10, the 'Runners boasted a record of 11-4 and a No. 7 ranking in Division II. Playing on their home court, the Auraria Events Center, the team had yet to lose a game.

On the first day of the tournament, MSCD played its fust four-game match in the AEC as the Roadrunners were pushed in a win against the University of Missouri-St. Louis, 15-10, 17-19, 13-10.

"Maybe we underestimated them," said sophomore middle blocker Chrissy Canada.

"We just didn't keep our intensity up."

The lapses in intensity would continue against the Roadrunner's next opponents, the University of Denver, as the were again stretched to a four game match in fightingoffDU,16-14, 15-5, 12-15, 15-5.

"We had bad passing as well as bad blocking," said coach Rhonda McMullen.

The next day was a return to business as usual for the Roadrunners as they blasted through their opponents with the type of ease thay are accustomed to at home.

"The team struggled quite a bit on Friday," McMullen said . "We played better on Saturday."

The matches Saturday had the 'Runners against two teams of Pioneers, the No. 24 ranked Texas Women's University team and DU. In a contest controlled by MSCD, the Roadrunners rolled into the championship match by defeating Texas Women's College in three games, 15-11, 15-9, 15-11.

The final match of the tourney saw the 'Runners continuing their great play without any breakdowns, this time against DU. The Pioneers fell 15-10, 15-6, 15-3.

"Everybody played well," McMullen said. " Kim Dressel, for one, had an awesome tournament."

Senior outside hitter Dressel was also pleased with her perfor-mance.

"This is one of the best tournaments that I've ever played," she said.

Other players who helped in the victory were, to name a few of the many pluses for MSCD, Canada, who provided great Junior setter Lora Houdek, left, and junior outside hitter play at the net, Tracy Thompson have played well for the Roadrunners. junior outside hitter Tracy Thompson, who served well, and tight and were error-prone, producing 18 junior setter Lora Houdek, who had 40 service errors.

MSCD reclaiming the title it had won in The mini-slump only lasted that 1990, several Roadrunners were honored with the distinction of being placed on the evening as the Roadrunners came back with a vengeance against the Air Force all-tournament team.

"I think the loss to DU opened season and Stright has made all tournament in the three tourneys the everyone's eyes," Goldsberry said. "We went in with a positive attitude and just Roadrunners have played in.

"I think Dana was surprised at being played our game."

Although the Air Force game wasn't named to the all-tournament team because she was injured," McMullen said. "But she pretty, it helped get the Roadrunners back doesn't realize how important she is to this on track after the DU loss.

A week later, Oct. 16, the 'Runners responded," McMullen said. "They didn't were at home playing the DU Pioneers dwell on the DU game and came out with again. This time the Pioneers played better fire in their eyes against Air Force.

The 'Runners kept the fire burning at and shocked the Roadrunners in handing Regis University Oct. 20, beating the them their first home defeat, 11-15, 15-13, Rangers, 15-8, 15-9, 15-12.
