New child care center bond approved Kim Brown The Metropolitan Money for the new Child Care Center on the Auraria Campus has been financed, but first, administrators need to find a place to build it.

A bond issue of $1,995,000 was passed for the expansion of the center, said JoAnn Soker, executive vice president for Administration for the Auraria Higher Education Center (AHEC).

The bond was issued before the Nov. 3 election because with Amendment l passing, Colorado voters would have to give approval of such a bond, Soker said.

Students voted last April, 858 to 266, in favor of a $4 increase to the $22 student fees, which was to be earmarked for construction of a new child-care facility.

The bond is part of the bigger Tivoli bond issue, Soker said.

Now AHEC has the go-ahead to begin construction after the Oct. 22 proposal was approved. But the wrecking ball is not swinging yet.

"We're still looking for sites," Soker said. "We're hoping it will be adjacent to the existing center."

AHEC has operated the child-care center on campus since 1978. A second facility, the Osage Center, two blocks south of campus, opened in January 1989

to meet the increa sing demand from campus faculty , .1:-. staff, and students for child-care privileges.

Osage was closed "because of the inability to work our acceptable financial arrangements with the owner of the Osage Center," the proposal states.

The campus facility's capacity is 126 children, although they are caring for over 200 at this time, said Debbie Jump, director of the center.

ivoli vendors hurt by AHEC parking validation rules Le Roy Standish The Metropolitan For years, students pulling into the Tivoli parking lot could expect three hours worth of free parking with any purchase. But since the beginning of the fall 1992 semester, that option has been taken away.

What remains of the old parking validation scheme "is a two-tier process," said Mark Gallagher, director of Parking Operations at Auraria. The small food outlets on the third floor of the Tivoli can only validate parking for one-and-a-half hours with a purchase of at least a $1.50.

All other retailers can give their customers three hours of free parking with the purchase of $3 or more.

"We are very upset about this," said Richard Steinberg, owner of Franks' Express, a hot dog vendor on the third floor. "They (Auraria) just want to put us out of business so they can bring in a big corporation."

Since the new parking policy was adopted, Steinberg and other third floor food operators have seen a marked reduction in business.

Dominic Chavez/The Metropolitan

Tivoli restaurant owner Hadl Tehranlan says his business has suffered a $250-a-day loss In business since Aurarla's parking operations stopped three-hour validations for his patrons. "(Sales are) down roughly $75 to school day). We use to be making $450 to $100 a school day, " Steinberg said. $500." " Right now we are averaging $350 (a Students also are feeling the pinch of

the new parking policy.

Charles Brown, a music and audio engineering major at UCD, said,"It's another in a long line of things they've done to screw up students in terms of parking."

Kevin Randall , a UCD biology major, said AHEC is soaking students for parking.

"They're trying to sap us for every cent they can get," Randall said.

Barb Weiske, director of the Student Union, denied accusations that the new validation policy is discriminating against the food court proprietors.

"I would have to disagree that it's geared again st a particular group," Gallagher said. Auraria 's intent in adopting the new policy is one of fairness, he added. One-and-a-half hours is seen as enough time to visit the food court and exit the parking lot. Three hours is seen as enough time to visit any of the other shops in the Tivoli and exit the parking lot he said.

"The validation is for the merchants to compete," Gallagher said. "We wanted see Tivoli, page 4

Pro-life campus group takes stand against society's norms Jean E.R. Straub The Metropolitan

Women who have abortions do not necessarily go to hell , said Matt McGuiness, president of Students For Life, an Auraria.Campus student group.

"A woman could have many abortions and at the end of'her life say, 'God, I think that was wrong and I'm sorry I did it.' I think that woman would certainly go to heaven," McGuiness said.

McGuiness, a sophomore philosophy major, said a woman has the right to choose what she does with her body as long as it is not to murder people. When an abortion is performed, a separate individual is being taken out of the womb.

McGuiness said abortion should be illegal except if the woman ' s life is in danger. There is a sense in people's minds that if something is legal, it is morally OK, be said. Abortion is legal because it is unseen, McGuiness said.

"If a 3-year-old is run over by a car, that's going to make headlines,'~ he said.

There is some truth to the argument that illegal abortions kill women, but it is used as a scare tactic from the pro-choice side, McGuiness said.

"When and if abortion is made illegal, the number of abortions is going to go down," he said. · Nelson Bock, campus pastor for Lutheran Campus Ministry, is not

connected with the group but is concerned with the group's name. He said although he does not morally support abortion as a means of birth control, he said he would not advocate completely outlawing abortion. ''It is not necessarily a contradiction to be pro-life and pro-choice," he said. "'· Jody Andrade, past president of the MSCD Feminist Alliance, agrees with Bock.

"We're pro-choice and not proabortion. We' re not advocating abortion.

We're advocating the fact that women are adults and we have the right to choose what to do with our bodies."

Before McGuiness became active with Students For Life last year, he said abortion was something he knew was wrong but did not act against it.

"We see a lot of things in society we think are wrong. We don't feel there is anything we have to do," he said.

Now he attends rallies at the state capitol and prays in front of Denver' s Planned Parenthood Vine Street Clinic.

He does not consider himself an extremist, but instead someone who has done a lot of research. He said he would not block access to a Clinic unless he strongly believed that it would save unborn babies. The people who do so are men and women of good will, he said.

What he considers inappropriate and unproductive is indiv idual shouting

matches with Planned Parenthood staff members.

One night he sa id he stayed late praying at the Vine Street Clinic and ended up in what he considered to be a very productive dialogue with two staff members.

Although he said he does not believe in birth control, he said he would not impose his belief on others nor would he attack birth control if abortion were made illegal.

McGuiness said there are no unwanted children. He was in Mexico for a week this summer and noted that the people, although poor, had very big families artd were very happy. There may be a problem with unskilled parents, but once individuals hold their child in their arms, McGuiness said all children are wanted. Child abuse is not a result of unwanted children, he said. Instead, one of the reasons child abuse is on the rise is because abortion is legal, he added.

"As a nation, by having access to abortion, we've lost respect for human life," McGuiness said.

Bock said people are too concerned with getting the unborn born, and not concerned enough for the children once they are born.

McGuiness said he hopes to see this semester a debate between Students For Life and the Feminist Alliance with a third group mediating as a co-sponsor.

New Congress will listen, Schroeder says atarina Ahlfort Staff Writer

Congresswoman Patricia Schroeder, D-Colo., said Congress this year will reflect more accurately what the people want. "This year, about 150 new members will enter Congress. I think we will see more women and minorities elected, which will reflect this nation' s population,'' she said Monday in a speech, sponsored by the Women's Network, at the Auraria Campus amphitheater.

Schroeder easily won re-election Tuesday over Republican newcomer Raymond Diaz-Aragon.

Diaz-Aragon has a different view of what the high amount of freshman representatives will lead to.

"I think it will result in a lot of chaos, quite frankly ," Diaz-Aragon said in an interview . "I am Hispanic, but my ethnicity is not first and foremost what I am. People like Schroeder try to manipulate people's emotions."

Schroeder's prime concerns have been social issues, such as women ' s health, middle class tax reforms and equal pay for

men and women.

"Women with a college diploma still only make the same money as a man with a high school diploma,'' Schroeder said.

Diaz-Aragon said he wants to see all affirmative action laws abolished. " Schroeder bas visited black and Hispanic neighborhoods with the message to people that 'somehow, you 're victims. ' I thin)\ that's very anti-American," DiazAragon said. "It's very cynical."

Schroeder's agenda for the future is to convert the United States economy, which, according to her, is based on military administration.

"The Cold War is over. We need to convert the system toward national industry, and develop thi s country' s economical structure,"she said.

Diaz-Aragon d isagreed, saying the United States should stay on the cutting edge of military development.

Schroeder said she wants environmental and civil rig hts issues resolved within the first hundred days of the new presidency so that more time can be devoted to conversion issues.

Warning: Lincoln Park parkers will be ticketed Chris Austin Staff Writer Students who use the Lincoln Park Housing Area as a parking lot beware-the residents are mad and the police are responding.

Connie Besser, assistant director of Community Services at Auraria, said the Denver Police Department has advised the campus that, due lo complaints from

people living in the Lincoln Park Housing Area, cars parked in the area for more than 30 minutes will be ticketed.

Jim Ferguson, director of Community Services for Auraria Public Safety, said this has been a concern ever since the campus was built.

"This parking problem goes back a long time," Ferguson said. "It goes back to 1974 when the campus_~~s ~uil~·- ~s the_ .

Wait list for day care misleading Tivoli vendor's business down

25 percent, blames Auraria AHEC official says parking needs to be open to both shoppers and students Tivoli from page 1 to assist the merchant. Rather than selling a product, they would sell parking. There was a segment of the student population that took advantage of that and it was subsidized by other students.".

Jane RaleyfThe Metropofttan

Construction of the new Child Care Center is expected to begin within 18 months.

Center from page 1 has a waiting list of over 900 families, Jump said.

"The list is large, but it's a little misleading," Jump said, explaining that some families put themselves on multiple lists throughout the city and sometimes find a place they are happy with while still on Auraria's list.

"If I were to start calling people now," Jump said, "only 30 to 40 percent would come next semester."

Cheryl Corro, 35, an executive assistant for AHEC's administration, said she just added her name to the waiting list.

"The day after I found I was pregnant, I put my name on the list," she said. "They tell you to put your name on the list when you have a glint in your eye or someone asks you to marry them."

Construction should begin within 18 months, Soker said, and is expected to double the capacity for child ca~ at Auraria.

"We won't be able to handle everybody with the new center," she said

A.R. Mcintyre, president of Field work Denver, Inc., a marketing research company in the Tivoli, said that the new parking plan is in the better interests of students and businesses.

"The parking office is not in the business of subsidizing merchants'"

A three hour parking validation had been a very lucrative rent-gathering asset for vendors. Just ask Haai Tehranian, owner of Felafel and Shish Kabob. His business use to bring in $350 a day. But now it stands at $55 to $65 a day.

"That much difference," Tehranian said. "They would come with validation, but not anymore."

The owner of The Steakman, Abdul Rashidi, said his business is down about

_"_M_____h--.------- 25 percent. " In this case, when ost oft e time if they (students) have three hours, they come and Study here."

they (the students) only have one-and-a-half ~

"Most of the time if Having customers of the retail shops they have three hours they come and study competing for parking with students is a here," he said. "They have coffee, french self-defeating process. fries or a small snack and that would make "That's fighting yourself," Mcintyre the difference."

Phill Michaelis, a manager at the said.

Auraria earns money from the Tivoli Boiler Room, said the change has not • only through the leases it holds with the benefited anyone.

"I haven't noticed it do anything at merchants. If Auraria evokes a policy that detracts from their business, the merchants all." The end effect, Michaelis said, is that will ultimately find it harder to pay their the people getting hurt in the deal are the rent. students.

One pre-election poll has had great success in predicting the outcome of the presidential elections. This election year was no different.

In this case, the people polled are not political specialists, members of special interest groups, or even a cross-section of the voting public. In fact they are not even old enough to vote.

The participants in this poll are the students of the nations elementary and middle schools.

MSCD 's Political Science Association was the Colorado "headquarters" for the National ParentStudent Mock Election sponsored by Time magazine.

More than 30 schools volunteered to paricipate in the pre-election poll. In Denver, Gove Junior High was one of the schools that participated. The association took this opportunity to spread the word.

In conjunction with the mock-election, members of the club talked to various classrooms at Gove about voting and

elections.

"We stressed getting the students involved in the election process at an early age," said Nick Athanasiou, vice president of the association.

The schools returned their results of the mock election in Colorado to the association.

In Colorado, elementary and middle school students voted overwhelmingly for Bill Clinton giving him 4 l percent of the vote. Ross Perot came in second with 34 percent of the vote followed by George Bush at 25 percent.

The national results of the mock election were slightly different from those in Colorado. Again, Clinton emerged as the winner with 45 percent. However, president Bush came in with 30 percent, followed by Ross Perot with 25 percent.

On Tuesday, it was the " Big" kids tum to vote. When comparing the results of the "real McCoy" to the results from the mock election, it is apparent that the students were right on target. If you don't already know by now, Clinton will be stepping in for Bush come next year.

Clinton won with 43 percent of the vote, Bush came in second with 38 percent and Perot came in thirdwith 18 percent.

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

Colorado voters schizophrenic FRANKLY SPEAKING SHAWN CHRISTOPHER Cox

The votes are in. Either Gov. Bill Clinton of Arkansas did one hell of a job promoting his message in ·Colorado or the voters are schizophrenic. Actually, it is a little of both.

For Coloradans to vote for Clinton and his message and then vote on the amendments the way they did is nothing but schizophrenic. At least the majority of voters had the foresight and insight to vote for Clinton.

However, the voters were consistent in voting by their pocketbooks: Amendment 1, tax limitation,

passed 54 to 46 percent; Amenament 6, the one cent sales tax increase for education, failed 45 to 55 percent; and Amendment 7, to implement education vouchers, failed 67 to 33 percent. The estimates of the state losing $85 mi llion in tax dollars to go to students in private schools must have been a big factor in voting against Amendment 7. . It is not qu ite clear why voters would vote against taxes and the prospects of losing tax dollars and then vote for a Democrat who has proposed instituting many new programs, or revamping old ones, which will take money.

Possibly, to Clinton's credit, people believe that he will only tax the "rich" or those who make over $200,000 a year and prioritize programs. Clinton said Monday morning that he would have a priority list and those programs that would take more money than would be gained by taxing the "rich" would have to wait.

Whatever reason people vot ed for Clinton ,

beginning Jan. 20, 1993, this country can begin healing from the Reaganomic disaster.

On a different front, Amendments 1 and 6 will have a disastrous impact on education fund ing.

These combined with Amendment 8, which impacts education by earmarking all lottery funds for parks, wildlife, or outdoor recreation and passed 58 to 42 percent, is bad news especially for higher education.

The education funding shortfall is already about $300 million. The priority for funding is kindergarten through 12th grade. Th is means money to keep sufficient funding w ill come from the higher education budget.

What can Auraria students expect? A couple of things are higher tuition and fuller classrooms.

Hopefully, Clinton's education program will be implemented soon after he is inaugurated and will be able t o somewhat mit igat e the effects of Amendments 1, 6 and 8.

mind and replaying it at slow speed and hugging the image and kissing it so he would always be with us, I saw him in my mind's eye, still 17, the age I knew him best.

He was golden then , full of energy, up to practical jokes as often as he could pull them off, and sometimes when he couldn't. He went to East High as did I, though he was a few years behind me.

He did theater events· with passion and lived life as only an adolescent can. His mother died about that time. We mourned together then. We cannot this time.

I have been accorded the privilege of making his quilt square. I have a deadline of Oct. 5, 1993, to finish this project. It is self-imposed because as Corbin's brother told me only two days ago, Corbin has all the time in the world now. I am going to ask all the people I know who are friends of his for other friends' names and will try to get all of them to stitch on the quilt a little with me and perhaps reminisce with me. His favorite clothes will be cut up and used

in the design, so I will be sure to include his favorite colors. I hope there are a lot of them : the square must be 3 feet by 6 feet. The size of a coffin lid.

Cheery.

So now my routine goes back to normal , whatever that is. No more trying to fit in visits to the hospice across town. No more trying to pretend that needles hanging out of arms don't horrify me and are perfectly OK. No more lectures to my son before we go, "Now remember, don't touch the needles, the tissues, nothing! And don't hug him too hard, you almost knocked him down last time."

Now his family's life can return to normal, as well. No more trips across town from Parker to Lakewood. No more thinking the worst when the phone rings late at night. No more calls announcing the imminent death of a brother. No more brother.

Some kind of normal.

I got to see a lot of people I hadn't seen in forever. One, a very close friend who shares my birthday, I hadn't seen since a falling-out prior to my second marriage. This time I used the magic phrase "Memorial Service" and she called me back in 5 minutes. This is the same woman I could not reach for "nada" all summer to have her come and say goodbye to our friend. I asked her not to make death the occasion of our next communication. Will she or won't she? Not even her hairdresser knows for sure.

Neither does she.

I feel so weird. I want to shake people and scream, "Open your eyes!! These people who are dying are not dying from God's curse on homosexuals and deviants; these are your friends and family members dying!! " But I know what happens to more women out of control than men in our society and I have no desire to be locked up in a nut barn with a new jacket, placed in a padded cell, medicated beyond bearing ... you get my drift.

I admit, however, to a certain fondness for mood-altering substances, right now. Perhaps if I eat enough chocolate, drink enough coffee, stuff myself into insensibility, these feelings of confrontation will fade. Nnnnaaaahh. Now I am kidding myself.

So I put on my public face and go to school and try to comply with assignments, which have little bearing on the life just passed or the one I live off the campus, trying not to be a bother to anyone. As my friend said about his late brother, he was just trying not to be a bother. Well, that bothers the hell out of me!!

To correct a problem from last time: when I was 9, I was a year-and-a-half older than my son is now, until the 14th anyway. He will be 8 then.

A shower a day keeps the blues away KNUCKLEHEAD CHRONICLES

ERIC MCCAFFERTY

Consider this·: You arrive home after the worst day of your life, your bike had a flat, the instructor you really needed to impress yelled at you in front of the entire class, your significant other informed you that you were not fulfilling her/his desires, and the check you wrote to cover tuition bounced. So what's your next move? Do you break down and blubber to the cat, fly into a rage, gather the boys 'round and do some drinkin ' fast? No, my friend , first you take a shower.

Yes, a shower. Clear, clean, rejuvenating water cascading magically down your head, splashing upon your shoulders, draining luxuriously down your back.

Ah yes, water. No living organism can survive without it. Without water our planet would. resemble Mars.

Life-giving, life-sustaining water; quite literally--in a word--life.

After 20 minutes of therapy you finally exit the shower. You feel better; you always do. After the day you had, you're .not ecstatic, but you certainly do feel better. The troubles of the day are washed from your weary shoulders, ready again to deal head-on with life.

Water, glorious, clean water can be the answer to many of the world's seemingly insurmountable problems. How many everyday struggles and strifes could be eased if all affected parties just showered before making their next rash decisions? What if the fighting factions in Yugoslavia or Somalia put their weapons down, took long showers and met at the bargaining table? Things would get accomplished.

In many countries, developed or not, access to clean water is severely limited. This situation keeps indigenous people from washing the funk of the day from their burdened shoulders, allowing more and more funk to grow and fester, affecting all nearby

~LETTERS~

parties. Imagine a place in India where cows are sacred since they just might be your dearly-departed auntie. People stand in the river trying to clean themselves, and Old Bossie decides to relieve herself just as the shampoo is being rinsed from their heads.

Yuk! Imagine a river in China where people not only live on houseboats, they clean themselves, their food and their homes in the exact same water they evacuate in. These people float on and among the filth of millions of people . Imagine the dysentery, imagine the flies!

So what can be done , you ask? The United Nations should focus its efforts on creating clean , efficient, non-polluting, undamaging water projects all over the world. The technology exists. Instead of passing resolutions that the world's dictators will only ignore, the UN should do something useful and see to it that all the world 's peoples have access to clean water and its numerous benefits.

The World Bank, instead of funding projects that destroy the world's rain forests, could provide the financial support for this grandiose scheme. The investment dollars would put millions of people to work, and the end result would be plenty of fresh , clean water, not only for bathing, but also for drinking.

Every neighborhood would have its own supply, the people could be clean, and water-borne diseases would be sharply reduced.

Now, I'm not advocating damming all the world's rivers , destroying precious ecosystems, and Americanizing all of the world's inhabitants. I am merely suggesting that we clean up the nest that we, the human race, have fouled. Sure ·it will take a long time and cost many billions of dollars, but just imagine the benefits.

I realize this idea is something new and different, but it could happen, if, and only if, the leaders of the world would amiably get together and decide to do something that would potentially benefit the world as a whole.

Th ink about this the next time you're y.'ashing away the troubles of your day.

'Hispanic' just aword

I have a question for Jeff Martinez who wrote the front page article " Hispanic Activist to be Honored at MSCD's Plain and Fancy Ball" (The Metropolitan, Oct. 23). When writing this article, what was your • intention, Mr. Martinez?

In your article, you wrote, "the history of Hispanics in the state legislature" and, "tell the Hispanic history for young people. " Yet, the only place that you mentioned Chicanos is when you talked about the Academia del Barrio and summer school. Why is it that only the "Hispanics" have a history in Colorado? Better yet, Jeff, define for me what "Hispanic" history is? There is no "Hispanic" history, Jeff!

The history you speak of in Colorado, as well as the rest of the southwest, is Chicano, Mexicano, Mexican History. Before the conquest of American

"Manifest Destiny" this land was Mexico, not Hispanica!

Chicanos/Mexicanos are not a people whose life centers around alternative and summer schools, but a proud people who, along with our American Indian brothers, have worked and lived on this land long before the United States government came along and labeled us "Hispanics." We are the ones whose history must be told. So teach our young people Chicano/Mexicano history because the furthest I can date "Hispanic" history to is the Nixon administration.

For future reference to all media , if you must encompass people of Latin American descent, instead of "Hispanic," use .Latino, or better yet, La Raza, or is that too ethnic for you?

Light, sound and culture of the -·- ·- ·""""·- ·- ·-·- ·'Aztec' exhibits shows diversity

6, 1992

FEATl -

"Skywatchers" a peek at Aztec religion The Aztecs were the people of the sun.

They believed the sun was a god in the sky that created daylight by devouring the night stars and doing battle with the evil goddess of the moon and her 400 star children. In the evening, when the sun slept or did battle in the underworld, new stars came out.

The Aztecs built their lives around this cyclical pattern of the heavens and the concept that there is no real death. People were to help the sun god in the daily sustainment of the world by offering their blood in the form of human sacrifice.

Before venturing into the exhibit "Aztec: The World of Moctezuma," at the Denver Museum of Natural History gaze for 45 minutes into the night sky of the Aztec world and into their beliefs that revolved around the heavens.

The new Gates Planetarium show, "Aztec Skywatchers," is a perfect compliment to the exhibit for gaining insight into the marvelous Aztec civilization.

The Aztecs believed the gods lived in the sky and high priests were ordained to study the gods. They developed an elaborate calendar used to predict when the rains would come and to know when to pay tribute to the gods. Comets were considered bad omens, but the Pliedies Constellation and Venus played important roles in their lives.

Even the Templo Mayor, their most sacred temple, was built in such a way that during the spring equinox, the sun shone between the twin pyramids atop the temple.

The show runs Monday through Sunday with various daily and evening show times.

Ticket prices are $3.50 for adults and $2.50 for children and senior citizens. Tickets are half-price for museum members. A combination of tickets for the Aztec exhibit and the planetarium show may be purchased for $10 for adults and $7.50 for children.

A limited number of special student discount tickets for the Aztec exhibit and IMAX production on Nov. 14 will be available at the ticket booth in the Student Union.

Special student prices will be $5 for adults, $3 for senior citizens and children under 12.

The "Skywatcher," and "Aztec" exhibits will be at the Museum of Natural History for a five-month stay, Sept. 26 through Feb. 21, 1993.

- Aztec reviews by Patricia Straub

King Moctezuma II was convinced the end of the world was coming after he dreamt of a bird with an arrow through its heart . When Moctezuma met Cortez in 1519, the Aztec fate was sealed. They believed their god, Quetzalcoatl (the feather-plumed serpent), had returned as prophesied.

After a much publicized opening, the Aztecs have returned after nearly 500 years. "Aztec: the World of Moctezuma," is a comprehensive collection of over 300 treasures from the National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City. The exhibit, the first of its kind in North America, is showing only in Denver. Displaying gods and goddesses, incense and obsidian, this exhibit recreates the long-lost civilization of a people who were connected to the earth.

The Aztecs' complex and diverse civilization unfolds in a series of elaborate dioramas, artifact displays, murals and information as one wanders through Th d f the the corridors of 11 e en 0 the exhibit.

An interesting option is to rent an audio tour, narrated by actor Edward James Olmos. With the isolation of the headphones and tape recorder, other museum visitors disappear and tourists are absorbed into the recreation of the Aztec empire.

The Aztecs built their great city of Tenochtitlan in 1325 on Lake Texaco where they saw an eagle with a serpent in its mouth perched on a cactus. This was the symbol their god Huitzilopochtli told the Aztecs to seek to indicate where their city would be built.

On the lake, the Aztecs built chinarnpas (farms) and they grew corn, beans, tomatoes and squash, among other foods.

Their streets were canals and their transportation, canoes. The Spaniards, who arrived in 1519, they said the city was the most beautiful in the world, comparing it to Venice.

The Aztec social structure had a powerful and wealthy elite group of priests, judges, military leaders and a semidivine king named Moctezuma. The lower classes, in their bustling city of government buildings, palaces, ballcourts and temples, bartered cocoa beans for goods and services in the marketplace .

sculptures introduce the Aztec belief in the gods; Tlaloc, the goggle-eyed god of rain, Tezcatlipoca, a sun god and patron of young warriors, and many others. Another god in the display, exhibited for the first time, is the recent discovery of a bat god, a symbol of sacrifice and death. The iron-colored, armor-like human figure with a bat bead and feet of upturned claws was discovered in October 1990 when a Mexico City man was digging in his backyard.

The Templo Mayor, the temple where the people paid tribute to the gods with singing, dancing and sacrifice, is the second emphasis of the exhibit. The recreated temple tour reveals a plethora of sacred treasur~s : shells, doll-like fertility figurines of clay, intricately designed pottery, clay flutes and a small, delicate skull of a puma with a greenstone bead between its teeth.

Human sacrifice was central to the cul- . ture of the Aztecs. A sp~cial exhibit

explores this ritual made by courageous people to fulfill the responsibility of sacrifice to the gods. When paying tribute to the god Tezcallipoca, a warrior was selected a year in advance. He lived leisurely, like a king, learned to play the flute and was treated by the people with god-like respect.

He then married four wives 20 days before his sacrifice. On the final day, priests cut open the warrior's chest on the Templo Mayor and offered his still-beating heart to the gods.

For the Aztecs, to die in sacrifice or in battle as a warrior was the greatest honor.

The concept of war to the Aztecs was not to kill but to capture surrounding civilizations, who were also used to fulfill the act of sacrifice.

Cihuateotl is the spirit of a woman who died in childbirth. Women who died in childbirth were highly respected and honored as if they had died as a warrior in battle. According to the Aztec beliefs, during the sun's journey across the sky the male warrior spirits carry it from sunrise to midday and the woman, Cihuatateo from midday to sunset.

On April 13, 1521, Tenochtitlan fell to the Spaniards. Tenochtitfan was buried and the Aztec people and culture with it.

viewers' opinions on abortion. " I would hope most students on campus feel this way," Haggerty said. "But people have already made up their minds. They look for support of their opinions, and if the message of a show goes against their views, they shun it."

Keller says Haggerty's conclusion may be true in some cases. "Some people are really closed in their convictions, but most people are curious. While arranging the art show, I've had so many people just stop and talk," Keller _ _ _'!!!!!""_ _ _"'"""'!_ said.

"Inbreeding is how we get championship horses," said Louisiana representative Carl Gunter in support of a law that would ban abortion even in cases of rape or incest.

Pro-choice artist Lisa Beth Link chose to tum the statement, as quoted in a 1990 Newsweek article, into a work of art, included in her collage series presently displayed in the mezzanine of Auraria Student Union through Nov.12.

Link's series of..-~~!!!!'!"--~!!!!'!"----computer images are a combination of photographs and quotations, creating a political message for women's rights to abortion.

"The last l 0 to 20 years, art has been the prime way for feminists and civil rights activists to get their message across effectively," said Carol Keller, Auraria coordinator of art exhibits on campus.

Link began creating her series "Warnings: 1931-1991," after questioning pro-life demonstration signs that called pro-abortionists Nazis.

The exhibit is based on the theme of chess, a game in which unwed mothers are the pawns; the weakest and most constrained players on the board.

The king is the powerful white male and the queen is the white, allAmerican female. The artists used 19 lifesized chess pieces and photograph collages.

'Mere' Java hut offers more than coffee Chris Austin The Metropolitan

Picture this: A quaint little coffee shop with an atmosphere all its own where it is possible to read without being interrupted; a place where the boss knows the regulars by name and can recommend a blend of Java to suit each person's taste.

Art students frequent the Mercantile's basement. Several works donated by patrons adorn the walls.

Believe it or not, the basement of the Mercantile houses such a coffee shop. It is not crowded, the coffee is good, and if you're looking for a date, the man behind the counter can find you a match.

That man, Pete Martinez, laughs when

asked what his favorite part of running the Mercantile's coffee shop is.

"I like the pretty girls. I am a sucker for a pretty face."

The basement of the Mercantile is not a crowded student hang-out, but Martinez kind of likes it that way.

"We have a lot of a' regular clientele," Martinez said. "It's not crowded, but we don 't want to be packed in here like a bunch of sardines."

Nathan Yu, a CCD art major, is one of the regulars. "I come down to talk to Pete and to do homework. It's a great place to do homework" Yu said.

"If you 're lucky enough to find the basement of the Mercantile, you 're lucky

enough to have our coffee," Martinez said.

"Follow your nose because it knows."

Dear Metro Connections:

My boyfriend and I have been going together for a year. We're both in college now, and we have talked about getting married when we graduate. Last week he came home and told me that he wanted to break up! I was so upset. When I asked him the reason, he just said that he didn't want to feel trapped. We had an awful argument, and he just took some of his stuff and left. That was the last time we talked.

I haven't been able to do anything since he left. I can't seem to concentrate on my classes, and yet I can't drop any or I'll lose my financial aid. I don't want to go to work or school, and I don't even want to eat. I don't want to leave the house in case he comes back for the rest of his stuff. Even if he is just leaving again, at least I'd get to see him.

All I do is sit around thinking about him and if he's going out with other girls and why he just dumped this on me right when I need to be able to finish this semester. I feel sick most of the time. One of my friends says I'm depressed and that everybQdy goes through this at one time or another. I just want to feel bet: ter, but I can't imagine ever being happy again. How am I going to get through this?

Signed, Julie

Dear Julie, No matter what you label it, it's a painful place to be. There are several different kinds of depression that last for different lengths of time and happen for different reasons .

Regardless of the reasons, depressions sometimes result in changes to our feelings, our behavior, and our physical well-being.

Though depressions are caused by many different things, usually they are less severe if people have something specific that has caused it; some event that has recently happened that has upset them. These depressions are more likely to be resolved quicker than those that happen for no known reason.

The good news is there are things you can do now to help you feel better and successfully complete the semester.

•Get out of the house. Don't give in to that tendency to sit at home and brood.

•Exercise moderately.

•Eat something good for you three times a day.

•Talk to people. Now is a good time to call on all those people to whom you've listened to over the years!

•Set a schedule for yourself that includes studying and having some fun.

•Don't make any long-term decisions •See a doctor if your physical symptoms don't go away.

If you would like to submit a question or comment to this column, please drop It by the MSCD Counseling Center located In CN 203. We don't publish names. If you would like a personal response, please include your name and phone number and we will get back to you.

SPORTS Soccer goalie makes last stop in career of saves Mike Robuck Sports Editor Usually when the women's soccer team member start a game they form a huddle and yell "Go Metro!" before heading out to their positions on the field.

On Oct. 31, on arch rival University of Denver 's field, the team had a new rallying shout for the last game of the season: "For Lisa!"

After four seasons at MSCD, three as a starter, goalie Lisa BaskaH was playing her last game for the Roadrunners. The inspiration was genuine as the ' Runners and Baskall shut DU down 1-0.

"I think we got to her with that cheer before the game," said team captain Cindy Roush. "Everyone knew about it but her and I think she was crying a little when she walked out to the goal. She had a great game."

For Baskall, the Roadru~ners' other team captain and only senior, beating DU was the final stop in a career filled with big saves.

"Beating DU was great, especially on their home turf," Baskall said. "They had beaten us the last three times we've played and to stop their streak in my last game was just great."

Baskall said she hadn't thought of her last game until right before the DU match, after the win there was too much jubilation for Baskall too reflect on it.

"I guess it hasn't hit me yet," Baskall said. "I've been playing soccer for 12 years, nine years competitively, and it just feels like another season has ended. When teams start practicing in the spring and playing in the summer it'll probably hit home for me."

For Baskall flinging her body in front of incoming soccer balls began in elementary school. The current MSCD men's soccer coach, Al Ashton, was her teacher at Gregory Hills .Elementary and Ashton started an after school soccer program there.

Baskall went to Ranum High School and started in the nets for three years. At Ranum she was an all-conference selection for the Skyline League her sophomore and junior seasons. Baskall also lettered in basketball all three years. She filled her summers with more soccer, playing in a competitive league for the Northglenn Thunder and Arvada Eagles.

"We didn 't have what you would call a very prominent soccer program at Ranum," Baskall said. "I wanted to keep playing and I wanted to stay in the area."

She took matters into her own hands by contacting MSCD coach Ed Montojo.

Montojo watched some high school games and encouraged Baskall to walk-on at MSCD. " I wasn't much of a contributor my first season," Baskall said. "Attitude played a big part of it. I thought I

MSCD's all-time winning goalie Lisa Baskall was the only goalie for her team.

should 've been the starter. In retrospect, not getting to play was probably the best thing that could have happened to me because I worked hard and learned a Jot." "S he came in thinking the starting position would be handed to her," said Montojo. "She learned that goalkeeper is more than just reflexes. I would rate her as the top goalie in our league and one of the best in the West Region ."

A goalie's job is much more than stopping balls from rolling into the net.

Goalies are stationary, rear-guard generals who must direct teammates and control the

tempo of the game. " Lisa is a really good leader out on the field," said Roush. "She talks to us constantly, which is vital for a goalie to do. She'll tell us to turn inside or outside with the ball and to kick it back to her if the other team is making a run at the ball.

"She basically has been what has held our defense together for the last three years. If she has a bad game we all do."

Baskall was recently named defensive MVP at a tournament in St. Louis where the Roadrunners beat one nationally ranked team and tied another while winning the tourney. Her tournament play also garnered Baskall the Colorado Athletic Conference's Player of the Week award.

"Goalkeepers have to have courage and a strong will to win," Montojo said. ''They have to have a certain personality.

Lisa's desire to win helps her in breakaway or one-on-one situations."

The Roadrunners were a thin but talented squad this season. Baskall was not only the lone senior on the team but, also the only true goalie.

"At the first of the season I had a problem with being the only goalie," Baskall said. "I worried about getting hurt.

I played the first three games tentatively and not up to my potential. Finally, before the UNC game Ed told me that if I kept

New tennis coach knows the ropes Mike Robuck Sports Editor First year men 's assistant tennis coach Mike Bania is built like a Marine drill sergeant, the end result of being a body builder for three years. On a warm October day Bania was doing his best to sound like a drill sergeant with new recruits.

"All right you guys stop what you're doing and come over here for a minute," Bania said to the members of the tennis team during a fall practice session. "The rules, the NCAA rules: no smoking, drinking or chewing while we're out here on the tennis courts. I'm going to enforce these rules because it's my job. I'm not going to lose this job over a beer."

Bania, having fulfilled another obligation, remarks: "To hit some ball

The coaching job at MSCD is not one of high pay and profile, but it gives Bania a chance to hang with his friends and start a resume.

The women's soccer team pulled out a pair of crucial conference wins to place second in the Colorado Athletic Conference. The 'Runners beat Regis University 2- l Oct. 29 and handed conference champion DU it's only loss in league play, 1-0, Oct. 31 . Both games were on the road for MSCD. "We put a lot of pressure on the ball in both games," said coach Ed Montojo.

"Against DU it was raining and we adapted to it better than they did. We turned it around the last part of the season."

The Roadrunners went 5-0-1 in their last six games to finish with an 7-6-5 mark for the season. It was the eighth straight winning season for Montojo at MSCD. Sophomore Chrissy McCain scored her first goal of the season against Regis and Anna Martinez, also a sophomore, booted her team eight goal of the season for MSCD's last score. The Roadrunners

playing tentatively I would get hurt. My game picked up. " Goalie is both physically and mentally draining. Physically because you throw your body around a lot and mentally because you have to control the defense. A big save is indescribable, especially against some of the ranked teams we've played," she said. "On the other hand 1-0 or 2-1 losses are hard because you always wonder what you could have done differently."

Bask all is currently coaching freshman girls basketball at Chatfield High School and will be the girls varsity soccer coach at Englewood High School in the spring. She is majoring in physical education, with a journalism minor, and plans to continue coaching.

"I've heard other athletes say this, but it's true. I feel the most confident and in control of things when I'm out on the field," Baskall said. "I'm definitely going to miss soccer here, it's been great."

"Those are going to be some big shoes to fill next season," Montojo said.

-Sabme Sabine was supposed to be imaginary, a friend and lover that Griffin had created to soothe his loneliness. But she threatens to become embodied - to appear on his doorstep, in fact. The end of Griffi11 & Sabine, the surprise bestseller of 1991, left readers on the edge of a precipice. With Sabi11e's Notebook, they begin, with Griffin, the fall. Faced with the terrifying prospect of meeting his own fictional character, Griffin runs, at first across Europe, then back in time. His precarious link to reality is the possibly unreal Sabine, who is living in his house in London, keeping a notebook of his letters and her responses. Once again, the story is told in ~trangely beautiful postcards and richly decorated letters that must actually be pulled from their envelopes to be read. join the intrigue with the season's gift book for roma ntics.

FLOOD! FLOOD! is the story of a city

dweller in the last days of the 20th Century. Part autobiography, part fantasy, FLOOD! tells the tale of a post-industrial native, of his hopes, dreams, and fears; of his survival in a world of concrete, metal and plastic; of his passionate vision of modern civilifation and its effect on the human soul. One of the best of the new graphic novels, it is composed entirely by scratchb<.>ard storyboards.
