The Metropolitan

After l l p.m., everything should be buttoned up tight on the Auraria Campus, said an Auraria Public Safety spokesman.

On Friday, Nov. 6, an intruder found a few loose buttons. ~ From midnight to 1 a.m., the security of the North , South, West, Central, Science and the Arts Classroom buildings was breached.

No one from public safety spotted the trespasser, nor. did any of the late-night • .::ustodians, who did see a stranger walking the halls, bother to report the intrusion to authorities.

Two people were entrusted with the security of the campus. On duty were officer Bill Bowles and two student _guards, Jean Schnell and Curtis ....

Fahrenhaltz, with one relieving the other sometime during the night.

On a campus surrounded by the highest crime rate in the state, according to Bowles, why is it only two people were charged with its security?

"We would like to have six people out there," said Jim Ferguson, director of Community Services for Parking and the Public Safety Division. "The reality is we can't afford it."

• Bowles said a large patrol force is not always needed.

"Sometimes three is not enough, sometimes that's fine, but you don't know that until things start happening."

When the trespassing was happening, the greatest resistance offered to the intruder came from one of the janitors smoking a cigarette outside the east door to the West Classroom building. "Can' t go in there. Are you a student?'"

"Yeah," was the response and the erid of the . conversation as he passed unmolested into the classroom building. ''They (janitors) are supposed to keep the buildings closed. They are not supposed to let people in they don't know," Ferguson said.

This is true except for the North Classroom building.

"The North Classroom is the exception, it.is supposed to be open all the time to a llow people who use the computer labs access any time of the day," Ferguson said.

Last Friday's witching hour found only one computer lab in operation, Room 130 of the Science Classroom building.

"Unless you have authorization to go inside the buildings," Bowles said, "you are subject to trespassing."

According to public safety figures, there w~re 42 burglaries on campus in 1991. Bowles said this is a good track record, given the condition of Auraria' s surrounding neighborhood.

"This neighborhood has the highest crime rate in Denver," Bowles said. "which means this is the highest crime rate in the state."

So should the trespasser have been arrested?

"That's right," Bowles said, "however this is quite a big campus." Those pulling over-night security must patrol not only the campus buildings, both inside and out, but also the parking lots and the Tivoli, even though the Tivoli had three officers and one security guard on duty that night.

"They are moving around and it's going to be hard," said Vicki Schonschek, communications supervisor for Auraria Public Safety. She said the shortcoming of the public safety patrols is that "we have a large square footage of area to cover."

Scott Lisee, one of the guards on duty at the Tivoli that night, said the custodial staff may be responsible for the lack of security.

Ferguson agreed. "We'll go back, we'll touch base with the facilities management people." Ferguson said cutting back on lawlessness is not just for those paid to do the work.

"A lot of people think the business of law enforcement or crime prevention is just the job of the police department. They really need the help of the community," he said.

The immediate community being the late-night janitors. "] would prefer that they do let us know," Bowles said. "(To) be our eyes and ears."

The current state of overnight security is not what Ferguson expects.

"It' s pretty obvious to me that we need to do some work," he said. "I will act on it, and we will act on it."

Task force works to educate campus about gay issues Kim Brown The Metropolitan

In its attempt to accommodate gays, MSCD has formed the Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Task Force with the goal to create a more hospitable environment for gay students and employees of the college. " I don't know that there's overt intolerance tow a rds these groups on campus," said Renee Ruderman, assistant professor of English and a member of the task force. "There is a lot of ignorance towards gays and lesbians and not enough sensitivity toward them as human beings."

The 35-member task force, which held its first meeting July 22, proposed 19 changes to keep gay students from feeling isolated, invisible, frustrated, afraid and angry.

Included in the changes are hiring gay faculty and staff to serve as role models, and removing ROTC from campus, although the latter does not seem likely.

"There is a big misconception about the Army and the ROTC ," said Capt.

Michael R. Brown of the ROTC troupe on campus. "We don 't discriminate against any group. The federal government bars us from giving gays and lesbians commissions. It's open enrollment.

Anyone can take the classes."

1 At the prospect of removing ROTc • from campus, Brown said, "I really don't think that will happen. They try that all over the country and it doesn 't work very well. People tried to remove it from

campuses in the 60s for other reasons and it didn't work. A lot of people forget that it is the civilians who vote on the policies, not the military."

Yolanda Ericksen: Ortega, assistant dean of Student Life and co-chair for the task force, agrees that removing the ROTC from campus does not seem likely, but this is not the task force's main objective.

"The whole purpose of the task force is to make the climate more positive on campus," she said. "They (gays) don 't feel that there is a safe climate."

The objective of the task force, some say, is met with silent opposition.

"Many people keep their anti-gay sentiment to themse lves on campus because it 's politically and morally incorrect," said J.P. McLaughlin, assistant professor of Journalism and editor of The Capitol Reporter. "People just appear to go along."

Opposition, silent or otherwise, will not stop the task force from obtaining its goal, Erickson-Ortega said. Action will begin after MSCD President Thomas Brewer has reviewed the proposal and the task force discusses its plan with him, which is expected to take place sometime before Thanksgiving.

"Gays and lesbians aren't included in our c urriculum," she said. "There are many authors and politicians who are gay, and that should be proclaimed in the classroom."

Some instructors have already taken this step forward in their teaching methods.

"I've had people 'come out' in the classroom," Ruderman said of her English c1asses. "I'm very open about it.

"Avoidance, or keeping secrets, makes more powerful that which is hidden.

That's the beauty of higher education. You can talk about anything," she said.

Presidentia.I election earns mixed reviews Professors agree that Clinton administration represents change Editor's note: This is the first article in a series about the potential impact the· Clinton administration may have on public policy.

Hero Montilla Staff Writer

This year's presidential election was unusual in many respects, due to factors such as the incorporation of a third party candidate, the victory of the third youngest president-elect this century (after John F. Kennedy and Theodore Roosevelt) , and the end of a 12-year Republican monopoly on the presidency.

Professors at MSCD's History Department have different ideas about the significance and meaning of the election.

"I don't think it represents any major shift in the attitude of the electorate," said Donald Wall, who is teaching western civilization and Nazi Germany this semester. "People did want change. Not a revolution of a radical change, by any means. People voted in the hopes that this president would improve things."

Laura McCall, American history professor, said "What strikes me is that when we have a change in leadership, how quick the transition is. It's bloodless."

reflects this attitude McCall recounted as well. the first major transition of power "I think it proves in the American that there is presidency in which something cyclical to Thomas Jefferson the presidency," Ring defeated John said. "After 12 years Adams in the of Republicans, there presidential election is a mood for change, of 1800.

Incidentally, they all became president.

McCall agrees with Wall in the belief Theodore Roosevelt won the election that that Clinton represents change to the year, but Taft and Wilson would follow people. him to the oval office in 1908 and 1912 "Clinton's big word was change.

Professors 'fed_up' wi~h shortage of classrooms Jesse Stephenson The Metropolitan

Students in MSCD's Practicum For Human Development had more to worry about than finding their classroom this semester. Having a place to hold the class was the first concern among Professor Charles Branch and his students.

Branch said the class has met everywhere from the Tivoli basement to a storage room. The practicum, which is worth eight credit hours and meets once a week, has yet to find a permanent meeting place.

The class is one of an increasing number that has not been designated a classroom. Branch is fed up with trying to find one. His class now meets for half of the 50 minute period in West Classroom building room 255 and spends the rest of the time in small groups outside the classroom.

Branch said the class was held in the basement of the Tivoli until a controversy arose because classes were being held in what is supposed to be a non-curricular student center. His class was moved to a room in the North Classroom Building.

The room was double-booked, so Branch had Human Services Department's Debbie Rojas find another room. That room in the South Classroom building turned out to be double-booked as well. The class was then held outside and later moved to a West

Auraria Higher Education Center, whi ch is respon s ible for assigning classroom space, finally assigned the practicum class to an off campus site.

Branch refused to hold class there due to concerns he had for the safety of a blind student in the class who would have to cross Speer Boulevard to get to the class.

In a last ditch effort to get a classroom, Branch decided to hold the practicum for half the period in a room in the West Classroom Building and then let his students divide into groups for discussion for the remainder of the class time.

"I decided enough is enough," said Branch. Although Branch and the students in the class feel this arrangement does not allow enough time together as a group, they are grateful to have the room for half of the class period.

Branch said he expects a proper classroom assignment in the future. "I'm not just going to pursue it, I assure you I will have a classroom," said Branch, who cites increased enrollment to be the major cause of the classroom shortage. "It's impossible to house all of the students all of the time."

Although Branch had an unusually tough time getting a classroom, he is not the only professor who has had trouble getting classroom space. Judy Goldberg, a speech professor at MSCD, had problems as well. Goldberg said she faced confrontation with another professor

whose class was assigned the same room. " He demanded it (the classroom)," Goldberg said. Two weeks passed before Goldberg's class was assigned another room. Goldberg agrees classroom space is becoming increasingly hard to get.

Ginny Feagler, division director for Facilities Planning and Use for Auraria, said the problem of space shortages is difficult to solve. With the passage of amendments Nov. 3 that may limit funding for state colleges, Feagler said funding to build new classrooms is non-existent.

Feagler also said the renovation of the Tivoli will not necessarily mean more class space.

"The Tivoli is student fee funded.

Since it is allotted for general use only, we will have to rent it for classroom space," she said.

Corrections The Metropolitan erroneously attributed quotes to the wrong people m its page l story about Tivoli ven®rs.

Barb Weiske said "I would have to dis~gree that it's geared against a patticular group;'" (wrongly attributed to Mark Gallagher). Mark Gallagher said "The parking office is n.;>t in the business of subsidizing merchants," (wrongly att:J"~buted to AR Mcintyre). '" "' ,e'The Metropolitan regrets these err&s.

Teleconferences embark on gender and racial harmony Patrick Franklin The Metropolitan

., ~-

Workaholics, .night o~ls, msommacs.

Welcome.

Room l 09 o f the Central Cl ass roo m building. The program, presented in the same format as the Nov. 12 conference, will discuss the failures and successes experienced by college campuses trying to achieve racial harmony. " I suspect racial harass ment at MSCD," Ericksen said. "MSCD is trying to respond in a pro-active way. In addition to the teleconferences the school is developing a workshop dealing with racial tension."

Enhancing race relations on campus has become a top agenda item for the vast majority of today's colleges and universities , said Frank Matthews, publisher of Black Issues in Higher Education magazine. Institutions realize that in order to carry out their mandate of educating their students, faculty and staff, they must eliminate racial discord, he said.

"The realization of enhanced campus race relations is often among the most perplexing goals we face," Matthews said. ''This hard-bitting, solution-oriented video conference was planned with the sole purpose of aiding campuses to achieve their multicultural goals by providing a comprehensive and candid presentation of what has worked, where and why."

After both teleconferences, a panel comprised of MSCD students, faculty, staff and administration will discuss, along with the audience, issues of sexual harassment and racial relations at MSCD.

In an effort to tame both sexual harassment and race relations among MSCD's community , the school will participate Nov. 12 and Nov. 18 in a nationwide conference to get some answers.

"This is a pro-active kind of approach to fix the problems," said Yolanda Ericksen, assistant dean of Student Life.

"There is not a college that doesn't have a problem with harassment."

On Nov. 12 from 11:15 a.m. to 2 p.m. in Room 109 of the Central Classroom building, the first of the two scheduled conferences, "Confronting Sexual Harassment on Campus" will be aired. ."It is important people are aware to what sexual harassment is," said Kristin _Lucas, secretary for Women Studies and Services at MSCD. "It is important for people to understand what all the fuss is about."

"The program will educate the college community on what constitutes someone' s rights and what represents sexual harassment," said Percy A. Morehouse, director of the Office of Equal Opportunities. "It will also inform the college to what is sexual harassment."

Julian Bond, noted civil rights leader, professor and journalist will be the moderator for the second teleconference on Nov . 18 from l l a.m. to l p.m. in

Parking problems affect academics, professor says

Schaefer takes helm as vice president of MSCD's Institutional Advancement

The Battle between Denver's Hottest Local Drummers!

Christy Lane Staff Writer Is parking on campus a problem?

Joe Morrell, an MSCD professor, thinks so.

"Parking on campus is not a friendly thing," said Morrell, a teacher in the Computer Management Information Science Department.

"Say, for instance, you work on campus, or go to school during the day, and you have to come back to do a lab, or to finish work at night or on the weekends. You pay $2 each time, and in that way, I think parking does interfere with academics," he said. Morrell said campus parking spaces given to downtown workers make finding a spot more difficult for students. "(Parking lots on campus) are userbased. Anyone who parks there pays. No student funds are used to support parking," said Jim Ferguson, director of Community Service.

According to Mark Gallegos, director of Parking, the money students spend to park on campus is used to pay off a $23.3 million bond financed for the construction the new parking garage, a move Morrell said is a "mistake."

Maintenance of the parking lot and paying employees are among the other ways in which the money is used.

"We don't force people to park here," Gallegos said.

Morrell calls AHEC a "moneymaking operation."

"Faculty can't even park on campus without going through a lot of trouble. I have a responsibility to 120-170 students," Morrell said.

Citizens must now 'stay in .the ring' FRANKLY SPEAKING SHAWN CHRISTOPHER Cox

Gov. Bill Clinton of Arkansas has been elected president. Now, it is the responsibility of citizens to "stay in the ring," as Ross Perot, Independent presidential candidate, says.

Clinton, who received only 43 percent of the vote, has made himself especially vulnerable. His campaign was based on "putting people first."

With this campaign promise, we the people must make sure he follows through on this. Clinton does have a mandate to govern, even if he did not receive a majority of votes.

Even people who voted for President Bush or Ross Perot must "stay in the ring ." Clinton and his administration cannot lead alone, nor can he lead with the 44 million people who voted for him.

The founding fathers set up a system for gridlock. They viewed government as a wretchedly slow

process. Only those ideas that persevered through this process would become law.

However, the gridlock envisioned was for branches of government and not necessarily political parties.

Although gridlock was planned for and Americans voted for gridlock over the last 12 years, it is time to come together as a nation and get involved ..

People should expect the following from Clinton: 1) the Family and Medical Leave Act being passed and signed by Clinton.

2) the establishment of a National Service Trust Fund in place of the student loan program.

3) phasing in universal health care for all Americans.

New general studieS hardly a welcome mat Why does it take academicians so long to make decisions? I have teacher friends who tell me that in high school faculty meetings, the only one capable of making a decision is the coach. The rest of them sit around and talk everything to death.

A similar thing is happening at Metro. Everyone in the place, president on down, realizes that the new general studies requirements are, at best, an mconceived idea; at worst, a terminal case of anal retention. Everyone knows this, but no one has done anything to remedy the situation. Meanwhile, transfer students are being treated like greenhorn pledges, forced to run from this department chair to that dean and

then on to the BASE committee, all as part of some bizarre initiation rite to prove themselves worthy of "higher" education. Adult students find these requirements ridiculous and demeaning, advisers find them frustrating and timeco n sum i ng and administrators are increasingly embarrassed by them. So why not scrap them? Why not let transfer students go by the old general studies requirements? It would save a lot of time, a lot of money and a lot of frustration.

Let's break out of this academic impotence. Let's stop talking about it.

Let's just do it!

FORUM----

Elections produce confusing mes~age Colorado voters released a confusing message during the Nov. 3 elections. With one vote, the Reagan/Bush revolution was dealt a death blow. It was obvious that many people were tired of the economic hardship that was imposed upon them by the conservative and right-wing era of the 1980s.

The defeat of Bush was a backlash to the policies that have undermined the standard of living of the American middle class; the cuts in social programs that pushed lower-income people into further economic hardship ; the increase of the gap between Anglo Americans on one hand , and Chicanos , Latinos, AfricanAmericans, Native Americans and other people of color on the other hand ; the further sabotage of the' standing of women, especially jeopardizing their rights to reproductive freedom , and pushing single mothers on welfare into economic disparity. The past 12 years have been painful for the majority of people in the United States.

The rich have gotten richer and the poor have gotten poorer. The wealth of this nation has been consolidated even further into the hands of a small, one percent of the nation's population. It was an era of free unadulterated exploitation , where scandals revealed that bankers in S&L companies ran off with working people's hard-earned money. The average American taxpayer is paying for the crimes of wealthy criminals in the S&L bailout. The wealthy pay no taxes.

The Reagan/Bush era drove America into the highest national deficit ever, amounting to more th an all previous presidents combined, and sought to settle it by depriving the poor and burdening the middle class. The military budget and CIA have had a

free reign and exo/bitant budgets to cause instability and mayhem internationally, having high-tech military weapons that, unfortunately, are smarter than our children. Schools are barely surviving on meager budgets .

Where are the priorities of this nation?

Colorado voters decided that it was time for a change, that the Reagan/Bush revolution be halted, yet continued to support the policies of that era. It is sti ll bewilderi ng to me that people voted for the discrimination of gays and lesbians. They supported a conservative tax limitation amendment, which will only serve to cut badly needed¡ services ¡and programs to those who need them the most, especially low-income families with children. And voters turned their backs on the needs of ch ildren in education by turning down the Children First Initiative.

This is the second time in four years that an amendment has been passed which was based on a form of bigotry and allows discrimination against human bei ngs . In 1988, we saw the passage of Official English, based on misinformation, ignorance and mostly racism. Now we're faced with another social bias based on the desire to build a homogeneous society where one set of values and one lifestyle would be imposed on everyone. .Rather than celebrating the uniqueness and colorful expressions of various cultures and lifestyles of people, we are being mandated to hate each other .

Racism and homophobia will only further polarize this society , causing people to seek desperate solutions. First, the Mexicans.

Then the gays. Who's next?

THE METROPOLITAN

~~~~~LETTERS~~~~~~ THE METROPOLITAN

'Hispanic' just a label Equality.

That which minorities strive for in this country.

There are many things that leave us striving for that goal still today.

That obstacle to which I am referring is the divisiveness within the Chicano and Latino communities.

That obstacle hit home last week after I had written an article about Virginia Castro, the supervisor of social workers in the Denver Public Schools and long-time activist within the community.

I had interviewed Virginia two months prior on my radio show, "Conversations," and found her to be a most interesting and dynamic woman whose contributions to the entire community were to be commended.

The significance of her life 's work was extraordinary. The article was a natural.

But even more important to me in writing the story was to, once and for all, provide an accurate portrayal of a minority that didn't sound condescending in tone.

The fact that the mainstream media didn't really understand how to deal with minorities was pounded home to me when a journalism professor of mine categorized articles about minorities as "poor me" stories.

But for the same reason that I can't blame my professor, we Americans of Spanish descent cannot blame the media for calling us Hispanics. Further, we should not take offense when this occurs, when it is we who are to blame for perpetuating the term.

How so, you ask? within For O(le • thing,i,.)look at the organizations • our community that have embraced the mainstream.

Organizations such as Hispanics of Colorado, Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, the Hispanic Agenda, and so on.

Whether you want to believe this or not, these ~· -are the organizations that are called whenever • someone wants the Latino angle to a story. These are the organizations that are in the public eye when we are taken seriously.

On yet another level, as individuals, we add to the confusion. If five Latinos or Chicanos were asked what they would wish to be called you'd i- probably get five different answers. Some would

hope to be referred to as Latinos , some as Chicanos, some as Mexican-Americans and others simply as Spanish.

So, why blame the media when we defy even our own labels?

Virginia Castro said something during our interview that struck me. I asked Castro, who was a member of the Chicano movement of the early 70s, how she felt about the same issue.

"When I started going to school, we used to get caught up in meetings, discussing what we called ourselves," Castro said. "The meeting might have been about something very critical to our people .. . and we would be kept going round and round about what to call ourselves ... we would never get to the issue we were supposed to deal with."

Today, we ' re still battling within and being diverted from the real and essential issues on which our welfare depends.

Where is the energy we spend on what to call ourselves ·when we still don't have solutions as to why nearly half of our young people are dropouts?

Where are the letters to the editor wondering when more Latinos and Chicanos are going to be allowed the opportunity to attend higher education?

Where is the substantive debate when there are so many Latinos-more than 5 million of us-with incomes below the poverty level? .These are the issues we face that Virginia Castro still works to overcome. If you read the article on Virginia Castro, and worried about how she was referred to or about who deserves to embrace our rich history, then you did, indeed, miss the point.

The point that I missed in writing the story was that I insensitively categorized people of my race when we defy categories. In the future, I will ask a person of color what they wish to be called, rather than deciding for them myself. I will do so not for the sake of political correctness, but because that is what the person deserves.

Still, if you want to label me, save your energy.

By suggesting that a label makes us who we are or who we will become is to demean the work that people like Virginia Castro have done.

Careless errors a surprise in newspaper I could ''wave" good-bye to state constitutional provisions that allow for separation of church and state, or I could think it is a bad precedent to ''waive" state constitutional provisions that allow for separation of church and state. I don't care who waves, flag-like, state constitutional provisions.

I do care about accuracy in The Metropolitan.

Hero Mantilla's article, "Amendment 7: The

hopes and fears for a school voucher system," contains three errors in my 24-word quote: its for it's, wave for waive and Startlett for Starrett.

I wouldn't be so surprised to see such careless errors from CU or DU's journalism programs, but MSCD has a much finer tradition.

ARC ANGELS offer a holy experience of rock-blues sound

t was a sad day in the summer of 1990, when Stevie Ray Vaughan died in a helicopter crash. This is a memory not easily erased in the minds of drummer Chris Layton and bassist Tommy Shannon, who were both in Vaughan 's band, Double Trouble.

These two veteran players have moved on, forming a new band called ARC A.ngels that also include the sweet guitar and vocal sounds of Charlie Sexton and Doyle Bramhall II. Sexton and Bramhall are both seasoned performers, despite being in their early twenties. They front the band, writing many of the songs together. . The four members of ARC An$els all hail from Texas. Having conjugated in the Austin area, home of a "healthy music scene," said Sexton in a phone interview.

The group met at the Austin Rehearsal Complex, the initials of which became the first part of the band' s name.

Before joining up, they each had been nursing their own careers in music. Sexton produced his own album , "Pictures for Pleasure," in 1985 and later toured with David Bowie. Bramhall was working on a

deal with Geffen records. Layton and Shannon were also further developing their crafts.

Solo careers aside, the foursome were able to put out a debut album as ARC Angels, which is self-titled. The members of the band have a common goal.

"The satisfying thing is writing good songs, and making good music," Sexton explained.

The ARC Angels are now on tour with Bryan Adams and played at Boulder's Fox Theater on Oct. 20. (This show was without Adams.)

The atmosphere was right at the Fox, a tight little venue for the over 21 crowd. A smoke induced haze shadowed the air, making way only for the neon lights that introduced the ARC Angels . Bramhall hopp.ed on stage, naked from the waist up, covered by only a fringed leather jacket and his guitar. Sexton undulated his voice into the microphone, his hair greased back.

They both seemed to dish up the rock-androll, egomaniac, sex-god, musician image to the fullest extent. Strangely, Shannon and Layton seemed to be hidden in the dark at the back of the stage. Maybe they're just rw.~ into image. At any rate, the ARC Angers • live performance that took place at the Fox was a success. They rocked the house, never stopping for a moment. Their sound was enormous, bouncing off the walls. Everyone was vibrating.

Because the band members have had an intimate connection with Vaughan, since be was also a native to the Austin music scene, their music is often associated with him.

Their music does have elements reminiscent of Vaughan 's blues grinding style, but they have definitely created their own sound.

Their music is alive, making it apparent what type of talent is involved here. The lyrics are intelligent and even the love songs transcend sappiness on the way to a higher plane.

The songs the ARC Angels produce become short, to-the-point poetry that jams to the bone. "There's a blues influence in our music ," Sexton said .

Blues indeed.

Gentle but still searing is the song "Sent

by Angels. " Bramhall 's voice is a blues paradise in its huskiness as be sings: " I can see angel eyes/and I feel myself arise."

T h e album also includes a touching tribute to Vaughan entitled "See What Tomorrow Brings," which was written by Bramhall: " Living life is so hard to do/when all my time is spent missing you/trying to get by without your love."

It would be a shame to compare ARC Angels with Vaughan, 9ec~ use they .are a unique phenomenon. But those who loved Vaughan will probably appreciate ARC Angels style of music too.

This group puts together everything they have. Their impeccable talent for playing music, combined all in one unit, becomes one smooth machine. You won't be disappointed.

Laughter abounded last Thursday night at the Auraria Events Center, as comedian George Wallace, known to audiences all over the world, peiformed in front of a small but diverse crowd.

Anybody who knows comedy knows George Wallace.-------He's been a comedy staple for audiences for many years.

That's before Andrew Dice Clay, Rosanne Barr and even Eddie Murphy.

Wallace always knew he was destined to be a comedian, although early on, life led him astray from his aspirations.

An Atlanta native, Wallace earned a college degree in transportation and marketing at the University of...._---== Akron in Ohio. His first job out of college was ~elling rags to dentist offices and airlines. He later became vice president of a company that sold advertising space on bus panels.

Though Wallace was a successful businessman, he never forgot his real dream of becoming a comedian. Wallace began performing at comedy clubs and soon afterward was offered a job writing for 'The Redd Foxx Show." ·- - · From' tliere, hi·s career blossome'tl.

Wallace now has a plethora of followers and is admired by many of his fellow comedians.

Wallace is also forging for himself an up-and-coming film career. He has been seen in A Rage in Harlem, Punchline and Postcards From the Edge.

Wallace was able to take time out to visit Denver and perform, where he is a

Having released over a dozen albums since 1979, the British group Durutti Column has recently released a CD, " Lip s That Would Kiss." containing material that spans their entire career, from 1979 to the present.

Guitarist Vini Reilly is the primary force behind a shifting cast of characters. Durutti Column' s roots began in the late l 970's as British punk band, with Steven Patrick "Morrissey" (later of the Smiths) as an original member. After the demise of that short-lived band in 1977, Reilly formed the Durutti Column (the name comes from the Spanish Civil War) and has since created music that owes as much to jazz an c assical form as it does to rock.

- Most of the songs on their "Lips" CD are instrumentals. Similar at times to chamber music, the patterns of electronic percussion, piano, strings and horns form a bed upon which Reilly lays his guitar textures. His spiky guitar figures are unorthodox at first, but closer listening reveals that Reilly is a technically proficient guitarist, both on acoustic and electric guitars.

"Lips" contains 19 tracks, evocative of autumn colors and moods that range from upbeat to melancholy, showcasing Reilly's tentative voice.

Altogether pleasant and unobtrusive, "Lips That Would Kiss" is a comprehensive introduction to this unique yet obscure band.

favorite comedian to many. The Office of Student Activities at MSCD jumped at the opportunity to present the show.

Kevin Fitzgerald, a stand-up comic from Denver opened the evening with a short but ~weet comedy act. Fitzgerald is not only a comedian but a veterinarian.

Many of his jokes revolved around life at the office and the pets that he treats. " Chihuahuas are the antichrist of dog breeds, " Fitzgerald said.

His act was also heavy on the sexual jokes, which were a little too numerous, but nonetheless funny .

"Did you know that they' re coming out with a Pee-Wee Herman stamp? It's already sticky."

After a brief intermission, the audience was graced with Wallace's presence. It was apparent that Wall ace is a seasoned comedian because he took charge as soon as he came on stage. He bad the audience rolling in the aisles with a bat of his eye.

Wallace talked fast and pumped out joke after joke.

"Did you know that I was in jail last week? I hit my mailman upside the bead with a brick. Don't you bring no more bills inside my house!"

His material focuses on every day subjects such as high prices, bad drivers and humarr relations'. What was refreshing about Wallace's act was that his subject material was funny, but minimal in its ridicule of others and use of profanity.

After his brief stop in Denver, Wallace will continue to perform his comedy routine across the country. Wallace appears as a regular at clubs in Las Vegas and has been frequently seen in other comedy clubs such as The Comedy Store in L?s Angeles.

'---"'"---------'!

The band's unforgettable fire was still there, brighter than ever, but the image of Bono, waving a white flag on an empty stage (in the video of "Sunday, Bloody '-'·i'tS,UDd.a.yX1that ,brQ11gbt H.ec;li Rocl<;s to. tqe r • world and Bono to fame) is forever gone.

U2 has turned into an audiovisual idea, a loudly political statement with a sarcastic pitch, but in an honest voice. Throughout their opinionated tour around the United - ..States, the band's political statement was ~not only against George Bush and capitalism, but for survival.

Dark humor does not make U2' s message anything less than serious.

I think it was Shakespeare's Othello who said "Tis better to ave played well and lost than to not have Jayed at all." Or maybe some football oach from the '60s said that. Anyway, all sports are winding down at Camp SCD and the teams always played well.

The men's and women's soccer earns had schizophrenic seasons. Both earns stayed close in their games but oth teams also weren't able to score rucial goals or make the big plays that in games.

The men started out hot by winning heir first six games and received votes in he NCAA Division II soccer poll. No ne realized that playing these six games with a day off in between or back-toback days would take such a toll on the team. It was a road trip to Phoenix, Ariz. that unravelled the 'Runners. The team's only blow-out loss of the season, 4-0, was administered by a highly ranked team from Grand Canyon University. The next

day, MSCD lost a close game to last year's Division Ill champs Cal-San Diego, 1-0.

After a 17-hour bus ride back to Denver and a game the next day the Roadrunners lost some of their early season explosiveness.

For the last third of the season coach Al Ashton experimented with moving players to new positions. The team didn't really jell until its last three games.

"We ran out of games once we started playing together," Ashton said.

The women's team opened the season with a 3-2 loss to last season's Division I champs, Colorado College, and then tied two ranked California teams. For the women it was a season of "so close yet so far" as they participated in eight overtime games, four of which ended _tied. The Roadrunners lost their best offensive player, Rosie Durbin, with a broken shoulder and their best defensive player, Renee Richee, with tom ligaments in her ankle, and still went 5-0-1 to end the season. The 'Runners got over the hump with wins over ranked teams in a tournament in St. Louis and over conference rivals Regis and DU. The volleyball team still has a mission to complete at the NCAA Regional Tournament and should continue on to the big dance, the nationals.

Coach Rhonda McMullen has done a masterful job of massaging injuries and massaging egos on her talent loaded team.

In one of the more bizarre injuries you'll ever hear of Crissy Canada and Wynema Hunter were injured on a carnival ride earlier in the season, which gave them bloodshot eyes and dizziness. Last year's

Win or lose these athletes and coaches should be commended for playing the best teams, fighting the.good fight, and hangin' in there when adversity reared Its ugly head. second team All-American Diane Dibble has played with a dislocated finger and, despite the pounding, seems to actually be healing. The biggest loss of the season for the Roadrunners wasn't against one of those top- I 0 nationally ranked teams they seem to play every week. This loss occurred right before the team left for the Portland State Invitational when senior All-American candidate Dana Stright told McMullen she could no longer play because of the acute tendinitis in her shoulder. It 's a credit to Stright that she could play so long and so well with such

nagging pain.

The bad news is Stright's injury, the good news is that McMullen has a bench so deep in talent it makes Einstein look shallow. Tracy Thompson walked onto the court for Stright and played her way to the all-tourney team at Portland.

Having a wealth of talent can be a mixed blessing for McMullen and her team. It is a constant juggling act for the coach to keep all of her players focused on the big picture, the NCAA tourney, while attending to ·the individual ego of a player that is talented but doesn't get to play much.

This volleyball squad has played 16 teams from the NCAA 's top-20 poll while staying in the top- I 0 themselves and fending off would-be challengers in the CAC. Fall sports may be about over, but MSCD's teams were competitive in just about every game or match of the season.

For the soccer teams a goal here or there could have turned it all around. The volleyball team needs to pull together for a tournament they will remember the rest of their Jives. Win or lose, these athletes and coaches should be commended for playing the best teams, fighting the good fight and hangin' in there when adversity reared its ugly head. See ya in the bleachers.

Senior Kim Dressel spikes the ball against Colorado Christian Nov. 4 at Auraria. The Roadrunners won the conference match 15-2, 15-3, 15-7 to stay on top of the league.

Mike Sallier Sports Reporter The Roadrunner volleyball team took on the biggest and the best at the Air Force Premier Tournament Nov. 6-8 . It wa:s a tournament of talent and surprises. The 24 team Premier featured 8 of the top- I 0 ranked teams in the NCAA's Division II and 16 from the top-20.

"There were a lot of upsets of ranked teams out there ," said Coach Rhonda

McMullen. "Northern Michigan, who is No . 2 in the nation, lost to Cal iforniaDavis."

The No. 8 ranked ' Runners started the tournament playing up and down and were not able to establish consistency.

"Volleyball is a game of momentum," junior outside hitter Tracy Thompson said.

"We started off pretty shaky, we would get up and then allow the momentum to change."

The first match pitted the Roadrunners

against Grand Valley State and MSCD played j ust well enough to win in four games, 15-13, 15-7, 6-15, 15-6.

The next match was not too encouraging as the ' Runners went down in four games to No. 10 ranked West Texas State, 11- 15, 8-15, 15-4, 14- 16. " We started out pretty slow," senior outside hitter Stacy Goldsberry said. "They basically outplayed us."

METRO CONNECTIONS Dear Metro Connections: I lost my father to cancer in August right before school started. lie had . had cancer for a year or so, but we all thought he was getting better. Then one day, he just went to bed and didn't get up. Two weeks later, be was dead. Though I wasn't there when he died, I was there only two days before, and I got to tell him goodbye.

I also got to spend a week with my family after the funeral, and we all cried and talked about my dad.

When it was time to come back to Denver, I thought I was ready. I just felt kind of numb, but I was able to start school. However, as the semester wears on, I rmd myself thinking about him. I cry and I miss him. I just seem so far away from home and so far away from him. I keep thinking maybe there was something I should have done, and then I get mad at myself for thinking it and at him for leaving us.

I've also got a cold that I can't get totally rid of. So far this hasn't affected my grades a lot, even though it affects my concentration. But I wonder if this is normal. I cried and cried this summer. Why am I still having so much trouble?

Roller coaster soccer season over Mike Robuck Sports Editor

Men's soccer coach Al Ashton's roller coaster ride season came to an anticlimactic stop in the last game.

The soccer team finished the year Nov. 5 with a 2-1 loss in overtime at the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs campus.

"I was disappointed because it was a game where we had the opportunities to win," Ashton said. "We had beaten Regis 1-0 in our previous match and in that game we had played the most focused 90 minutes of soccer in our season. Then we play UCCS and have some mental lapses that cost us the game."

MSCD finished the season in fourth place behind University of Denver, Regis University and UCCS. For the season, the Roadrunners were 10-7-1 and 6-5-1 in the Colorado Athletic Conference.

Ashton's team handed DU its only loss in conference play, 3-1, and split two close gam~s with Regis. The 'Runners tied UCCS at home earlier in the season 1-1.

"I think it's a matter of maturity," Ashton said. "All season long we got up

for the good teams and played them close. When we played teams like UCCS, who traditionally haven't been that strong, we played down to their level.

We need to hammer the weaker teams Dominic Chavez/ The Metropojitan and put them Coach Al Ashton looks over his players back in the first week of practice away early. without complaining."

Dear Kim, All the things that are happening to you are a normal part of the grieving process. Initially, people can go through a numb period, which is a type of denial about what is happening. Emotional reactions, a depres~ed mo.od, feeling overwhelmed , remorse, anger, and physical ailments are all part of the grieving process. So even thought it's painful, you may experience these feelings off and on for awhile, though over the years, they will diminish.

There are some things you can do, however.

-Do things. Go places with friends, write home, talk to people, build your support system here at school.

-Take people up on their offer to listen and help. Don' t try to get through this entirely on your own.

-Don't ignore the loss and try to hide it. Cry if you need to.

-Be patient with yourself. Be aware that you're right on track and that you are still working through your grief.

-Care for yourself. Eat well, exercise, and get enough sleep, especially when you're under pressure at school.

-Consider a support group or counseling. These options will not take the pain away. But they can sometimes help you feel better faster by giving and receiving support from others who are in the same position.

The second day of the three d ay tourney started off like the previous one ended, with a loss.

This time it was to No. 12 Florida Southern, 15-6, 6-15, 13-15, 15-7, 7-15. It was a see-saw battle in which the Roadrunners had their chances to win.

"We should have beaten them," McMullen said. "We were up 12-9 in the third game when we lost the momentum and they ended up taking the game."

After the loss to Florida Southern, MSCD could finish no higher than ninth but would have to win all of their remaining matches to do so.

The Roadrunners squared up with a competitive team from Morning s ide College in the next match. This match also went to five games but this time the 'Runners were on the winning end, 15-8, 16-14, 8-15, 4-15, 15-3·

r.

The last day of the tournament was a return to normal for MSCD as it beat a hot Ferris State team in the first match 15-12, 15-11 , 15-10. The win was impressive because it came against a team that was playing well in the tournament.

"Ferris State upset a couple of good teams," McMullen said. "They upset UNC (No. 5) and Tampa (No. 7) in just three games each."

Th e Roadrunners finished up the tourney against No. 3 ranked CaliforniaBakersfield. The ' Runners disposed of Cal-Bakersfield in just three games, 15-12, 15-11, 15-10.

"They didn't play very well," Goldsberry said. "Everyone was tired but we got the job done."

California Poly-Pomona won th e tournament while MSCD managed to bounce back from the early losses for a ninth place finish .

Goldsberry made the all-tournament

despite tearing the ligaments in her thumb in the first match the 'Runners played. ~cMullen said Goldsberry was her first player to make the Premier all-tourney team in her three years of coaching at MSCD. "I had my ups and downs since I hurt my hand the first day," she said. "Luckily it was my left hand, but it still hurt to pass." .

Once again, the Roadrunners depth played a key role in their success.

"If we didn't have our depth , we would of been killed in this tourney," McMullen said. "It's a great advantage."

The ' Runners have four matches left in the season with three of them on the road. From there they have the regional tournament, which they hope will lead to bigger matches on the road.

"Our ultimate goal is to make it to the nationals," Thompson said. "That can be a reality."
