Campus sleep out raises funds-for homeles,---Mike Hall The Metropolitan

A doz.en MSCD students curled up in winter jackets and sleeping bags Tuesday night, snugly bundled in a tight ring of cardboard boxes on the lawn in front of the Student Union. Their efforts raised a cool $500 for Denver's homeless youth. The students' accommodations, cozy compared to those of many of Denver's homeless, included sturdy and spacious boxes that once housed large appliances such as clothes dryers. But the students emerged from their paper quarters with a renewed appreciation for the plight of the homeless. "Cold," said three MSCD 18-year-olds in shaky unison, recalling the night, which frosted their sleeping bags and boxes. Without the household comforts of pillows and food, the students withstood the night chill to raise the funds and remind passersby that other Denver youth will spend all their winter nights sleeping in similar conditions. "I had warm clothes and a sleeping bag, and I was still cold," said Jirn Amspacher, a staff member of the

Colorado Public Interest Research Group (CoPIRG), who joined the students in weathering the chill. "I still don't understand bow people who don't have those things survive even one day. You're exhausted after a night like that." CoPIRG sponsored the "sleep-out." Proceeds from the event, generated from sponsor pledges, will go to Urban Peak, a Denver shelter that provides food and clothing to runaway and homeless people 21 years old and younger. Urban Peak has ministered to youth since its inception in 1988. This year, the Denver shelter has served 1,000 youths, some of whom bear more than the burden of homelessness when they seek refuge there. "We've had three pregnant 11-year-olds this year," said Eric Cox, program coordinator for Urban Peak. "We try to get them in touch with Social Services, a grouphome system or back with their parents." The shelter also offers medical and legal services, and drug and alcohol counseling to assist area youth. "We have kids who are going to college now, who are living on their own, and who have moved back to their families," Cox said.

Returning home is just what Jan Olson, one of the trio of reticent freshmen, said after thawing in the morning sun. "I'm going home, so I feel pretty good," said Olson, who garnered about $75 in pledges by sleeping in a refrigerator cardboard box . MSCD freshmen Sabra Shay and Julie Allman, Olson's friends, shared a box built for two. Allman generated close to $100 in pledges. "I got a taste of what it's like to be out for one night, and it wasn't even snowing," Allman said between sips from a steaming mug of coffee. The Colorado Coalition for the Homeless estimates that 3,500 to 4,000 homeless people of all ages will try to weather the winter in Denver, while Urban Peak expects to help about 300 homeless youth during the frigid months. ''I figure if I can raise enough money so that one person or two people can have a decent meal one night and make their stomachs warm and help them live through the next day," Shay said, "that's all that matters to me."

Threats against gays grow following Amendment 2, student leader says Katarina Ahlfort Staff Writer

Amendment 2 passed Nov. 3, making Colorado the first state to make it illegal for gays to file for discrimination based on sexual orientation, said one student gay rights leader. "This is a turning point," said Jeff Davidson, coordinator of the Auraria Gay and Lesbian task force. "The gay movement is a young organization. We have gone forward the past few years, and we have to expect setbacks like this." Colorado has recorded an increase in hostility toward gays since the amendment passed, Davidson said. Owners, patrons and employees in Denver gay bars have had their lives threatened over the phone and in person, he said. About 7 ,000 people gathered in front of the State Capitol Building in Denver last week to protest the amendment. That same night, Davidson said, a man made threats to kill every "fag and dyke" there with a machine gun. "The threats are sick," Davidson said. The Equal Protection Campaign and many gay businesses have, according to Davidson, received numerous hate calls, along with bomb and death threats. "We cannot let this happen in our state," Davidson said. 'The next step is to challenge the amendment in court. It could go all the way up to the Supreme Court." Davidson said six different lawsuits will be filed in the state, challenging the constitutionality of the amendment. The cities of Denver, Boulder and Aspen will join in a lawsuit because Amendment 2 would change the constitution already in effect.

The Denver Chamber of Commerce has received 35 cancellations from national organizations of conferences, meetings and seminars, which were to be held in the state, Davidson said. "I think a national boycott against Colorado is called for," he said. "I have heard that some travel agencies are discouraging people from traveling within Colorado. National arts and music associations are initiating cultural

boycotts." Davidson said he is hopeful that the economic threat is going to defeat the amendment in the state. An information session about the passing of Amendment 2 was held in the Student Union last Wednesday. Pat Steadman, lawyer with Colorado Legal Initiative Project, said people were fired from their jobs the day after the election because of their sexual orientation. "Gays have been denied access to buses and restaurants. All this happened overnight," Steadman said. Julie Nice, professor of law at University of Denver, said civil rights for gays have been wrongly equalled to quotas. The two issues are vastly different, she said. Nice encouraged the participants at the meeting to take action in overturning the amendment. "Don't leave this to a handful of lawyers - get active and organize," she said. Colorado for Family Values, the Colorado Springs-based organization that initiated the amendment, cancelled a press conference scheduled for Nov. 12. The postponement was done because CFV feared a counter-demonstration outside the Capitol by opponents to the amendment, according to a press release from CFV. "In our state ' s currently charged atmosphere, we consider the escalation of an event like this an unconscionable act," CFV wrote in a statement to the press. "To further reduce the threat of violent confrontation, Colorado for Family Values hereby postpones our previously scheduled news conference until further notice."

Few people know that MSCD is the home of the only post-secondary Public Administration program in Colorado. John Regn ell, professor of Public Administration at MSCD, has been responsible for coordinating the Public Administration program since its start 15 years ago. Jobs in public administration include careers in government and civil service. A degree in this field could lead to a career in the police force or public planning. Those students who choose this route might consider the state of the nation's government before making a final decision. This might be difficult because the current presidential administration is preparing to take leave in order to allow President-elect Bill Clinton to take center stage.

National Honor Society inducts new members Kim Brown The Metropolitan

•

It wasn't the Emmys or the Oscars. It wasn't the Nobel Peace Prize or the Pulitzer. But it was just as prestigious. MSCD's Golden Key National Honor Society inducted 150 new student members at its awards ceremony Nov. 6. In addition to the new student members, Golden .Key inducted honorary members and gave out three awards two for excellence in teaching and one for research - at its awards ceremony. Perhaps the most well-known recipient, especially to Denver history buffs, is Stephen J. Leo~ard , archivist, local historian and MSCD History Department chair. Awarded in research, Leonard has paid his dues. Leonard's book, "Denver: Mining Camp to Metropolis," co-authored by Tom Noel, local historian and professor of history at the University of Colorado in Denver, won Westword's 1992 "Best of Denver History Book." The book took eight years of spare-time writing, Leonard said. To add to his credits, Leonard has done one thing that no other in the state has done. He was twice awarded the LeRoy Hasen Award for Best Scholarly Article, in 1977, for an article on foreignbom immigrants in Colorado, and in 1991 , for an article on the flu epidemic of 1918 in Colorado. The award is given annually by the Colorado State Historical Society for articles published through the society. Leonard is now working on a book about the 1930s and the depression in Colorado. The prolific Leonard is pleased

at receiving the Golden Key Society award. "I think it's a great honor," Leonard said. "I'm most grateful to the National Honor Society." Work inside the classroom was honored by the Golden Key Club, as well. The Excellence in Teaching awards went to Annette McElhiney, professor of English, and Charles Branch, professor of Human Services. Both were selected out of seven nominees. Candidates for all categories are nominated by students, members and faculty, said Golden Key Club President Karen Lilja. As a member of the selection committee for the excellence in teaching award , Lilja, along with other club officers, sat in on each nominee's class and then each interviewed the nominees. Lilja chose McElhiney for her openness in class. "I liked how she got her students involved in class," Lilja said. "She let her students analyze the material the way they saw it. ' "She was a very good facilitator in discussion." Dedication also counted and Charles Branch proved his worth. "Everything he did was for his students," Lilja said. "He brought a lot of outside information into class." New honorary members, voted in by club officers, were also celebrated at the Golden Key Club Awards. Joe Megeath, interim dean for the School of Business; Joan Foster, interim dean for the School of Letters, Arts and Sciences; Bill Rader, dean for the School of Professional Studies; and Jodi Wetzel, director of Women's Services, as well as McElhiney, Branch and Leonard.

Library to get new scanner Le Roy A. Standish The Metropolitan In January of 1993, Auraria library's 12-year-old door scanner will be tossed into the scrap heap and replaced at a cost of$l0,480. " It's about time ," said Shirley Marecak, Auraria library 's facilities manager. Weaknesses, besides the age of the system, include frequent misfires (Samsonite briefcases often set off the alarm), people going out the "in" door and the system's limited scanning radius. "We are going to have it fixed so it scans people going in and out. Some people will go out the entrance door and that doesn't mean they are stealing books," Marecak said, " but it' s a possibility." Another possibility is that those stealing books are going out the exit door, right past the very device designed to deter theft. "The system isn't sensitive enough," said Mary Ulibarri, periodicals supervisor. "If (the book is) in a specific area, it's not going to detect it." The specific area of detection is the three and a half foot high magnetic sensitive patch work located to the left of the exit to the library. Carrying an unchecked-out book above or below this

area would confound the library's attempts at security. The new detector, Ulibarri said, "is well worth it, because books are going out of the library. "Things that are really stolen, actual whole bound volumes or journals, I would say is pretty minimal. Less than five percent." Jay Schafer, coordinator of Collection Development Services, said, "we get books back that aren't even checked out." He went one step further and identified some of the library's "hotter" items. Books dealing with math and computer science often turn up missing. "It's a fairly popular area on campus," Schafer said, "it has a lot of enrollment." About five years ago, the library had a new books section on the second floor. " Ten to 20 percent of those would disappear, that 's one reason we discontinued the new book area," Schafer said. But whether the book is new or old, it is · marked with a magnetically detectable stripe. "We spend an awful lot of money on detection material," Marecak said. Last year alone the library spent $7 ,935 on such things.

Member of the Denver Community

Chris Ozor The Metropolitan The three award winning photographs at the Auraria "Photofest" were chosen not only because of their artistic quality, but also because of their human impact. "Auraria Photofest '92" featured 220 exhibits from MSCD, UCO and CCD. This is the first time the three Auraria Campus schools participated in a joint photo exhibition, which ran from Oct. 19 toNov.12. "It's nice to see students from three schools compete against one another," said Debbie Miller, CCD photo laboratory coordinator. If the "Photofest" exhibition were a game, the grand prize winner won the giant share of the spoil. Of the $3,000 worth of photographic equipment and supplies donated by the sponsors, the first place candidate received equipment valued at $1,600. Mark McCombs, 43, a junior in the UCD photography program , won first prize with his pictures titled "Russia." McCombs' pictures depict postglasnost Russia in a state of ruin. The pictures show dilapidated infrastructure and several outstretched arms of young and old reaching for scarce bread. " My pictures were powered by emotion," McCombs said. "I had no preconceived idea about contemporary Russia. But I saw a nation in need of repair," For his exceptional work, he received a $1,600 Nikon F-3 camera. Curtis Weldon, 20, an MSCD junior and fine arts major, placed second . Weldon's photograph, titled "'L' impurete Humaine," which means human impurities, earned him a Pentax Digital Spot-meter worth $350. His picture depicts a dark shaded nude male next to a woman whose body was cropped. Weldon said both people in the picture engaged in unprotected sex before realizing their folly. Weldon, an advocate of safe sex, said his work reflects images in the era of AIDS. "I don't know why the jurors chose my work," said Todd Yocom, 28, an MSCD senior, fine art major and third place winner. "Maybe because of the abstract nature of my pictures. There's some mystery in my work - photography doesn't always mean reality," Yocom said . In

appreciation of his work, he received a $200 gift certificate for his photograph titled "Dance." Eight others who won honorable mention received$ 100 gift certificates for pictures ranging from self-portraits to family portraits. Jurors for the exhibition displayed 52 of the 220 pictures. Eleven awards were given, including the top three finishers. About 300 people visited the gallery the first day of the exhibition. · Deana Spinuzzi, 20, a participant and MSCD fine art majort said she liked the pictures chosen by the jurors. "They selected the creative pictures, not just the regular pictures," she said. "The pictures are technically good." Spinuzzi 's is among the 52 displayed. Hers is a portrait of a friend. Dayna McAlister, 19, an MSCD freshman, said she didn't understand why the jurors chose the award-winning pictures. "My favorite picture here doesn ' t belong in the top 52, McAlister said. "I guess art is in the eye of the beholder." Robert Waxman, S .O . Lindahl, Callumet, Mike 's Camera, Ilfold, Kodak, Fine Line and Wemers all sponsored the event. They donated the equipment and photographic s upplies shared by the winners. Miller said the benefit of joint exhibition is that the students can critique themselves and improve their work because they work together in one laboratory. "More students share photography equipment in this laboratory than in other facilities because there's only one laboratory," Miller said. " [t's good to have students from three schools work together." Because only 52 of the 220 works were displayed by the organizers, the remaining 168, dubbed "rejects," were displayed in another exhibition, unabashedly dubbed, "Salon Des Refuses" or "The Reject 's Show." Those photographs were displayed at the UCD Art Gallery. This gallery is also called the bathroom gallery. Not that the "rejects" show stinks but because the gallery is situated next to a bathroom. "Salon Des Refuses" started Oct. 19 and ended Nov. 3. Their exhibition attracted an equal amount of people as did the "Photofest's."

Police Briefs Sexual harassment

$341 stolen

Auraria Public Safety received a sexual harassment complaint Nov . 6 concerning a peeping Tom. The male victim told police that he was in the library bathroom seated on a stall when he noticed what appeared to be flesh pressed against a hole in the wall. He slapped the wall, and the flesh disappeared , he reported . He then noticed a white male staring at him through the opening and told him to get out, APS said. Police reported that the suspect paused for a moment , then continued to stare. The peeper then left, police said.

David Caldwell, Rec reation Services manager, reported that two video games in the Student Center had been broken into on Nov. 2. Two people had opened the coinbox door of one game and removed $7 worth of quarteFs, police reports said. When Caldwell questioned the suspects, they told him that the door was already opened, police said. APS reported that Caldwell then checked the rest of the video games and found a second coinbox had been broken into. Police said they found no evidence that the two parties were the ones who pried the doors opened. APS esJimates that $341.50 in quarters had been taken from the machines.

Warrant arrest

Disturbing the peace

Auraria police arrested Marcus Cole, 27, on an active warrant charge Nov. 3. Cole was reported to be in the Events Center gym and did not have a valid student identification, police said. Shawn Pkhajlic, who works in the center, asked Cole to leave, police said. Cole refused, so Pkhajlic called Auraria police. When APS contacted Cole, it was discovered that he had an outstanding warrant issued by the Aurora Police Department. Auraria police turned Cole over to the Denver Police Department, the police report said.

APS said three people were charged with disturbing the peace, trespassing, failure to obey a peace officer and several other violations after they failed to leave 900 Auraria Parkway on Nov. 7 when an Auraria officer asked them to d£ so. According to the police reports, the three became verbally abusive when they were asked to leave. Eric Solano, Denise Moralez and Angela Solano, all of Denver, tried to start a fight with passers-by and were asked to leave three times before they were arrested, police said.

New financial aid service ope.ned Chris Austin Staff Writer

TUESDAY The Battle between Denver's Hottest Local Drummers!

A service is available through the National College Resource Center to help students deal with the financial aid changes brought forth by the Higher Education Amendments of 1992. The Resource Center will assist · students in determining how the new law will affect them and bow much money, exactly, they are eligible for, according to the center's founder, Tom Loftus. " Students complete an application that asks for background information such as major interests, hobbies , income and

expenses," Loftus said. "The information is entered into a computer that analyzes the student's situation and prepares a 40 page report that guides the students through the steps they need to receive an award." Loftus said the report includes a complete printout of special campus-based student aid programs and approximately l 00 private scholarship sources and the steps to take to qualify. Loftus, who has been a guidance counselor for 20 years, said rus program is licensed and guarantees financial aid to everybody that applies. The program costs $89, but if a

student gets four or more other students to apply, the fee is dropped to $49. "We kind of operate on a sliding scale cost wise," Loftus said. "We won't turn a student away if that person is in need of financial help."

JAMES GI.EICK, bestselling author of Chaos, investigates the nature of genius in his long-awaited biography of physicist Richard Feynman. Architect of quantum theories, en/ant terrible of the atomic bomb project, caustic critic of the space shuttle corrunission, Nobel prize winner for work that gave physicists a new way of describing and cakulating the interactions of subatomic partides, Feynman left his mark on vinually every area of rrodem physics. . In ~""'5, James Gleick shows us a Feynman few have seen. He penetrates beyond the gleeful showman and iconoclaSI that inspired his colleagues at Princeton, Los Alarms, <:ornell and Caltech and reveals a darker side of ambition, Feynman's periods of despair and uncertaintly, and his intense emotional nature. As he reinvented quantum mechanics, we see Feynman's impact on the elite partide-physics community and how he grew to be at odds with the very people who idolized him. By exploring one scientiSls's vision, Gleick reveals our obsession witp the notion of genius and why the very idea may belong to another time. Genius, Pantheon, S27.50 cloth.

More than 50 mentors have been matched with students, but not all of them teach or work at Metropolitan State College of Denver. One of the mentors participating in the program works in the Denver business community. Jean-Noel Thompson, an assistant buyer of tabletop housewares at May D & F, said he became involved with the program because he believes in the importance of mentors. "I can relate to students," said Thompson, 24, who recently graduated from Arizona State University with a bachelors degree in Communications with an emphasis in Business Management. "I can tell them 'I could make it, so can yo and let's figure out a way to do it."' Like several of the other mentors, Thompson also found a mentor who helped him set goals and get through tough times. Although Thompson had a posi-

tive family life and found role models in his older brothers, he found that having a mentor helped him make the best of his college experience. One of his mentors helped him to focus on his skills and he could best use them, Thompson said. Any mentorship program, such as this one, is a "fantastic resource" for students, he said. "There are so many avenues you can take and it's necessary to .have a person to know what's available. "It's important that a student have a contact to go to and someone outside of friends and family to talk to." An Arizona native, Thompson and his wife, Tonya, came to Denver with May D & F as part of their executive training program: Sometime soon , he plans to return to school and earn a masters degree, which he will use to work in the area of student affairs at a university or college.

Lack of vision may change with Clinton FRANKLY SPEAKING路 SHAWN CHRISTOPHER Cox

The 1960s have been looked upon as turbulent times, with America going through a transition that is still apparent today. In the last three decades, the overall morale of America has diminished and is rapidly plummeting. Not having a sense of vision has led to many crises, including weak leadership and a declining economy. During the early 1960s, Americans had a feeling of hopefu\ness, responsibility, pride for oneself and one's nation and a vision that things can and will get better. However, on Nov. 22, 1963, a dream was killed, a vision was killed. America had seen its last great president and leader for years to come when John F. Kennedy was assassinated. After this catastrophic event and then with the escalation of the Vietnam war and the assassinations of Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy, America was left in shock with a feeling of not knowing what would happen next. Today, we are still shouldering the effects of the 1960s. Because of the' assassinations of three great political leaders , politics is different and less personal. If people are lucky, they might be able to shake a presidential candidate's hand as secret servicemen shove them away. The positive feeling that campaigns would lead to results is no longer present. Anymore, people believe that campaign promises are just a politician's rhetoric to get elected. The result of this is that

people feel there is less of a difference between the two political parties and that it really does not matter who gets elected. If it is true that Democrats and Republicans are the same, just with different names, then that might explain why there is not a vision that permeates and drives our society. Alternately, politicians may be afraid to have a vision, because visions produce solutions, and solutions produce disagreements. And disagreements possibly cost votes. Our education crisis is a good example. Wanting to look politically savvy, George Bush , dubbing himself the "Education Presfdent," called for an education conference of the nation's governors to try to find ways to solve this disastrous problem. Nothing has resulted several years later because politicians and other leaders are afraid to stand up for their beliefs in fear of attracting opposition for the views that they hold. When you have Vice President Dan Quayle (thank God, not for long!) replying to an educator's questions on what to tell his students about the future for America with, "I'm sure you tell your kids what I tell mine - study hard," it is very difficult to have a national vision. Throughout history, presidents have had names for their administrations, such as Kennedy's New Frontier.. That is no longer true. Today, presidents come in with personal agendas that do not lead to national agendas to help advance all of American society. George Bush 's administration could be named, "No New Taxes (For The Rich)," but that would be politically taboo. Not only are politicians afraid to stand by their convictions, but so are people in general. Another effect of the 1960s is that political movements have died down and are not filled with the same vigor. There are still many organizations classified as being "activist," but they are not as

outspoken as they once were. They are taken more as an accepted fact than as a force to contend with. An example is organizations against discrimination; discrimination may not be as conspicuous today, but it is just as prevalent. When President Bush vetoed the Civil Rights Act of 1990, he could count on negative reaction from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). However, he could also assume that there would be no major demonstrations. Awareness of problems, such as discrimination, does not necessarily mean solutions to those problems, while they still may be present in our society, overtly or covertly. Our economy is a reflection of the way we think as a society. Because of the 1960s, Americans are more focused on the present. Long-term planning is not as common a practice as it was in the past. With the "think only about today" attitude, poor investments are made, resulting in a sluggish economy. The savings and loans debacle is a good example. As long as you can put the loan through today, we'll worry about how and if it's going to get paid tomorrow. With this thinking, taxpayers are now paying more than $500 billion for this mess. This will help keep our economy sluggish. The effects of the 1960s are immeasurable; one can see the effects that the 1960s have had on American society today. This mostly results from knowing the ramifications of what happens when people stand up for ideas. Hopefully, Americans will be able to regain pride for themselves and their country, and overcome the problems that plague our society. With a new Democratic administration and the vision portrayed in Clinton 's campaign, his "New Covenant" hopefully will mean a new vision for America; a 'vision closer to Martin Luther King, John F. Kennedy and Bobby Kennedy.

dramatic increase in carbon dioxide levels in the immediate area. Imagine my surprise after hanging around the homestead a few weeks and noticing the incredible increase in my happy houseplants' dimensions. I thought, "Gee, something in this world appreciates my company, after all - look at those suckers grow!" I was elated. The plants, much to my chagrin, weren't especially thrilled to be in my presence, as my ex-girlfriend should have been. They were just happy to be basking in and consuming all my respirated carbon dioxide. Hell, even a couple of house cats could have given those things the boost they needed. But, I digress. My point here, as the title suggests , is that a little carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is a good and necessary thing. We hear so much about the build-up of carbon dioxide leading to the greenhouse effect, but what we do not hear is how truly beneficial it is to green plants. Plants are storage systems for carbon. It's a natural process, but it is a process we humans are rapidly upsetting. When we burn a log in the fireplace, or when an entire section of a rain forest is bulldozed and set aflame, still more carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere. This carbon dioxide will stay in the atmosphere for an even longer period of time before it is recycled because of the one fewer tree, as in the case of the fireplace, or the one fewer rain forest. And compounding this problem is the fact that without the trees or plants that were just sacrificed, we humans will have even less oxygen to breathe. So, what you should do is this: stop contributing to this problem by considering exactly how your next action or purchase will affect plants/trees/forests somewhere else in the world. You dig? It's truly that simple. And plant a tree.

Walking toward world peace Antoinette Vecchio The Metropolitan For one former MSCD student, retirement did not mean working around the house; it meant walking throughout the world. Dale Malleck, 76, attended MSCD in the 1980s, and has since traveled nearly 100,000 miles, all in the name of peace. Malleck has been walking for peace since 1986. On Nov. 21, he will travel to Cuba to participate in U.S . Cuba Friendshipment, an eight-day event co-sponsored by Global Exchange and Pastors for Peace, two organizations that hope to improve relations between the United States and Cuba. "I'm a peacemaker," Malleck said in a recent interview. "I definitely would like to see some peace in the Western hemisphere where I live, as well as in the rest of the world." The event in Cuba will be the eighth peace-making attempt Malleck has participated in. His first was the Great Peace March of 1986, in which he walked about 3,700 miles, traveling from Los Angeles to New York to Washington, D.C. In the spring of 1987, Malleck walked for peace in the now former Soviet Union, the first of his four walks in that country. He has also walked in Vietnam and Cambodia. "We're not going to get peace until we get it all over the world," Malleck said. Speaking to an MSCD geography class Oct. 28, Malleck surrounded himself with pictures, newspaper articles, pins and momentos from his trips to the Seviet Union. Roberta Smilnak, who teaches the Population, Resource and Land Use class, said she always asks Malleck to come to her classes because he has so much to share. "He is a demonstration on what you can do after you retire," Smilnak said. Students of the class said they were quite impressed with Malleck. "I think he has a wonderful attitude

towards life," said MSCD senior Yvonne Hodges. " I think harmony s~arts withinyourself and I think he certainly exudes that." Scot Chamberlain, a MSCD senior, said he believes this is a perfect time to go to Cuba because of recent changes in that country. "It's nice to see someone working for a positive cause like that, peace," Chamberlain said. Besides participating in the walks, Malleck said he also assists in placing Peace Poles at nuclear weapons sights.

Soviet Union. A soviet guard watched as Malleck and his friends planted the pole and the guard came over and asked them what they were doing. "He said, ' you know, I think that's a good idea' and then he turned and walked back on his side. I believe he would have helped us plant it if I would have asked him to," Malleck said. Four Peace Poles were planted in Vietnam, he said, and after some resistance, one was planted in Cambodia. "They said we couldn't do it, but we did," he said. On Nov. 3, 1991, Malleck planted a Peace Pole at the Rocky Flats plant in Jefferson County, employing the help of both workers and managers of the plant. "We can all live better without nuclear weapons. I would like to see us dismantle and get rid of all of it until we have ad~d emotionally, mentally and spiritually," Malleck said. Nuclear power, Malleck said, is not a bad thing, it has just been used badly. tf' " Nobody has the right to put an end to humanity," he said. ~ Needing a club to sponsor the \\\ ~\ effort, Malleck said he hopes to place At~~li ., t ~~\\ a Peace Pole on Auraria campus in the A. near future.

AuRARIA BooK CENTER Auraria Student Union 556-3230 M-Th 8-b, F 8-5, Sat 10-3

There are many clubs and organizations available for student participation on the Auraria campus. With the large number of students attending MSCD, these clubs should flourish. Unfortunately, this is not the case. "Overall, my experience is that there is a lack of participation, people are too busy," said Ann Hatcher, sponsor for Alpha Delta Omega, the honor society in human services. Due to low membership, lack of participation in activities and not enough help for club officers, many clubs and organizations wither away. The variety of clubs available on the Auraria campus offers the student with almost any interest the chance to get involved. MSCD students would like to participate in activ ities. The problem appears to be finding the time to do so. Scott Palmer, MSCD Club Coordinator, sees firsthand the interest that students have in getting involved in activities. "Two or three people every week come in (the office) and ask about a specific club or clubs they can join. They want to get involved, but can't stick around (the campus) to do them," Palmer said. Because lack of membership is a real problem for clubs, an important issue for most clubs is soliciting new members. David Conde, sponsor for "the Hispanic Leadership Association, says that over the years there has always been a steady membership, but the club officers are always working to enhance it. "We do programs to promote interest, like well-known speakers or leaders in the community speaking on topics people would be interested in," said Conde. The Earth Sciences club also promotes act1v1t1es to enhance membership. Club members attended a Spelunking trip on Oct. 24, and a spring break backpacking trip to Utah is being planned. The club has about 30 members but club sponsor Jim Cronoble is not al~ays happy with the turnout for activities. "Sometimes I'm disappointed because there aren't more people that have an interest in seeing these beautiful things (we go to see)." While Cronoble may be

disappointed, he understands the problems that clubs face. "A lot of students work full time and just don't have time to join clubs." Because MSCD students lead such busy lives, the low member turnout for planned activities can be distressing. Hatcher said club functions have a low participation rate that makes it difficult to plan any sort of activity. Senior Donna Santistevan, current president of Delta Phi Omega, the criminal justice organization, was furious over the way the club was handled during the 1991-1992 school year and became president to improve the club. Santistevan, herself a student working full time, realizes the necessity for clubs to adjust their schedule for the students. To entice more students to join Delta Phi Omega, club meetings are scheduled alternatively, day and night, so more students will be able to attend at least some of the meetings. Even if a club has a strong set of officers dedicated to planning exciting meetings and activities, these officers often need extra help from members. Lack of help from other members can hinder a club's progress. "The biggest problem is that we need help. We can't do the best job possible if we don't have help," Santistevan said. If a club is having problems, Palmer and his staff are there to help. "We have a staff that can tailor-make a presentation just for that club. We can pull clubs back together. If we can't help them, we can find someone who can," Palmer said. Palmer's student activities office has mailboxes for clubs, provides a copy machine for clubs to copy any material they may need for a meeting or presentation and can provide funding for clubs. "Metro is an exciting place because there are so many things going on," Conde said. And from the long list of MSCD club possibilities, Conde might be right. MSCD clubs include academic organizations, cultural clubs, honor societies, political clubs and much more. There is a place for almost anyone. Any student looking for something to do or looking for something to get involved in does not need to look any further than out his classroom window. Students interested in joining a club on campus should stop by the Student Activities office in the Student Union Room 255, or call 556-2595.

MSCD, along with KUVO-FM radio 89.3, KBDI-TV Channel 12, public access Denver Community Television Channel 59, and the Piton (PEE-ton) Foundation, has formed a media alliance that will provide education and experience in all aspects of radio and television for women minorities and low-income students. ' The Five Points Media Center, as the partnership is called, will provide internship opportunities for MSCD students majoring or minoring in broadcast journalism or radio, said Joe McKeon, program officer at the Piton Foundation.

"The purpose of the media center is to bring more minorities and women into electronic media. We anticipate offering paid, hands-on internships working in editing, producing, directing and writing," McKeon said. The media center will be located at 529 29th Street (29th and Welton St.) in the Five Points area, which is to be renovated. When refurbished, an old bakery will house KBDI-TV, KUVO-FM, Denver Community Television and classroom facilities for MSCD. The center is expected to open sometime in Sept. 1993, with the help of grants and loans from local corporations which are funding the $2.6 million project.

They fly through the air. Kim Brown The Metropolitan

It's Like any Friday night at the lower downtown YMCA; the sound of bouncing basketballs, the screeching of Nikes, the steamy feeling of sweat. But wait. There's something different going on in one room. Trapezing? A 15-foot-high perch s its in the middle of the room within a grasp of a horizontal bar hanging from the ceiling by two ropes. Another bar hangs about 20 feet away. A roped safety net covers the perimeter. Perched atop the platform, warming up for a night of flying , is MSCD student Beatrice Nicoletti. "It's really fun," Nicoletti said,

It's ironic that everyone comes here in suits and then we go out in tights," Nicoletti said. This is for &Veryone who's addicted to adrenaline," said Manny Chespin, 36, who teaches at North High School and is a regular on Friday nights. " It 's a good way to let your aggressions out," Nicoletti said .Observing the trapezists is much like having a weird dream. These people are happy. Their s port seems to have a therapeutic affect.

Trape"Zing , a familiar sight at the circus, is all about connecting with another teammate, a return as it's called, is an extremely synchronized act. "Your first return is the best," she said. Nicoletti, 29, has been trapezing for about four years, although she was exposed to it earlier in life by her brother Vince, 43, who took up trapezing while in high school. Now they trapeze together, along with about 30 other Denver-area people. Approximately 10-15 people, from 5-70 years old, show up on any g iven Friday night, Nicoletti said.

This year's edition of the Roadrunner men's basketball team will have many questions to answer. One will be how the Roadrunners deal with the loss of Ralph Rivers. [n the four years that Rivers spent at MSCD he put up numbers that got him into ttlecollege record book. "It's going to be hard to imagine what it will be like without Ralph," said coach Bob Hull. This year's team will have to find a new leader, but it must also get off to a good start to repeat as conference champions. "We didn ' t play well early on last season," Hull said. "We lost some key players and couldn't quite put it together." Despite the questions about this team, CAC coaches picked the ' Runners to three peat as league champions. Although Hull hasn't set a starting lineup, he has a good nucleus to begin with. Senior point guard Calvin McCoy will pick up where he left off last season · and provide the team with some leadership. "Calvin knows how to run the show," Hull sa id . "He will have to provide leadership for this team." Steadily improving senior center Dan Kenned y is another player the Roadrunners will look to in trying to emulate last season's success. "Dan looks to be in good shape," Hull said. "He's slimmer and stronger. We feel that this could be his best year ever." Another returnee who had an impact on last year's drive to the title is forward Andy Owens. The 6'5" sophomore move into the ~1arting lineup last year after Ken Turner went down with a broken foot . "For a freshman, he played really well and aggressively," Hull said. Turner is back this season and is competing with Owens for the starting power forward spot. "Ken is an aggressive and tough player," Hull said. "He will play a lot, but I don't know who will start yet." After walking onto the squad last season, junior forward Chuck Hancock is also expected to see so~e playing time. The University of Denver went to to the NCAA tournament last season and

Regis University has all of its starters returning.To compete with them MSCD recruited h ard last spring to insure that ' Runners will stay competitiv e this year. Junior college transfer center Allen McClain is _- ._ pushing

for starting spot. "A l 's big, strong, and physical," Hull said. Juni or college transfer , forward James Shettleworth, is expected to see a lot of playing time. "He's a good leaper who knows how to score and he can play inside and out," Hull said. Junior guard Lenin Perkins, another junior college transfer, is a good ball handler. "He's a good all-around player. He can play any one of three positions." 1unior guard Greg Balman comes to MSCD from Colby Community College in Kansas. "He's a lefty who is a good shooter from three point range," Hull said. Junior forward Marcus Murphy, a Denver native, is expected to contribute by hitting threes and driving to the basket. There are two freshman joining the 'Runners this year. Wichita Kansas native Jeff Eck will be used as a guard and he has a good three point shot. Freshmen center Trent Brotherton comes to MSCD from Heritage High School in Littleton. "He's a big kid," Hull said. "He'll be our post man of the future. "We've got some good {>layers back and some good new players. We have a lot more depth at key positions this year."

"When you go on a long trip in your . car, you check the air the in tires, the oil and water," said Gart Brother ' s merchandise manager Bill McCall. "It's the same with your skis. The last thing you want is to be out on the slopes and have something go wrong or hurt yourself because of equipment." McCall recommends having skis and bindings checked before the start of each season. He said that springs in bindings get worn out with use. "Springs in bindings can get fatigued and not function properly," McCall said. "You want to make sure that your bindings and skis are compatible. There could be a rock lodged in the bottom of To make turns like these you need to have the right equipment and have it your boot from spring skiing that keeps tuned properly. you from locking into the binding applied to large holes, the surface is market for equipment are the MISC correctly." scraped and waxed to seal the pores.

McCall said the rounded sides allow skiers to go from edge to edge quicker and cut through ice better. In order to stand on the cutting edge of ski technology, be prepared to spend between -. $450-$600. Carbon-graphite composite ski poles are slightly thicker than a pencil, according to McCall. These poles are favored by ski racers because of less wind resistance, yet are strong enough for the flips that freestyle ballet skiers do. The poles, manufactured by Scott and Goode, retail between $60 and $100. The trend in ski boots is from rear entry boots to mid-entry. "The mid-entry boots are like the rear entry because you put your foot in through the back," McCall said. "The difference is the four buckles up front, which can be adjusted for a better fit and performance. It's the convenience of rear entry with the performance of traditional buckle boots." Nordica and Syntec mid-entry boots ~ se!Hor $200 to $350. Ski equipment can be expensive, but McCall suggests that new or beginning skiers spend their money on package deals. "Package deals combine skis, boots and poles under one price," he said. "The boots are more important than the skies, so use most of your money on boots. You can always upgrade your skies as you improve, but if your feet hurt your not going to have fun."

Mike Saltier " Sports Reporter

Going into the match with Air Force last week, the Roadrunner volleyball team found themselves up against a team that was, at the time of the AFA Premier tournament, playing fairly confident.

DIBBLE from page 20

"I've been to Regionals almost every year," she said. "We should be able to make it to nationals this year. It's time for us to move on." Academically , Dibble has been as ~. consistant in the classroom as she is on the volleyball court. Dibble , who is a psychology major, has been named to AJlacademic teams in both her sophomore and junior years. She lists going to grad school as one of her future plans. â&#x20AC;˘ "After four years at one school, I'll probably need to take some time off before going to keep from burning out," Dibble

said. Sports psychology is her area of interest in the large spectrum of psychology. She cites that it is a growing field that interests her. "I like to know what people are .thinking," Dibble said. "Why people do what they do." As for her volleyball career as a Roadrunner , McMullen believes that Dibble will end it on a high note. "She's come on in the last half of the season," McMullen said. "Her competitiveness has really begun to come out as we look to her for leadership to help us get to Nationals."

METRO CONNECTIONS Dear Metro Connections: I am so stressed out lately that I don't know what to do. It's nearing the end of the quarter, and I haven't kept up with my schoolwork nearly as much as I should have. Now I'm looking at making up everything in the last few weeks. I also work as a salesperson in a department store, and we're going into our busiest season. Peopl~ get cranky and sometimes downright mean when they have to wait in line for service, and last year during the holidays I almost quit. On top of all this, my boyfriend is always pressuring me to go out and have some fun. He doesn't have to work, and he likes to go out and just hang around when I feel pressure to get some of my school work done. I have to admit, I have occasionally skipped classes to be with him. I'm most likely to do this when my stress level reaches its highest and I can't face another class assignment. I'm smart, I can usually pull myself out of academic problems. But why do I have to have all this stress, and what can I do about it? Signed, Sue Dear Sue:

STARTING RATE . CALL MONDAY - WEDNESDAY 10:00 A.M. - 4:00 P.M. TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT.

The first thing to realize about stress is that it can be managed. I say managed, because you really don't want to eliminate it from your life altogether. No stress would be just as bad as too much - just think how dull life would be without some stress. It helps motivate us to do our best and to stay alert. It can be successfully managed; however, since each of us can tolerate different levels of stress, you must identify how much of it you can handle without getting overstressed. The first step is to notice what things stress you and how you react to them. Then determine which of these you can change by avoiding or Âˇeliminating them, which are longterm and which are short-term, and how you feel about each of them. Sometimes our attitudes about our stressors are what need changing. Take care of yourself when you know you're headed for a stressful time, like the Christmas season at your store . You know it's shortlived stress and you can plan for it. Plan ahea d for next semester. Check out available options for how you can get a handle on stress, such as a stress management group or some training in biofeedback through the Metro Counseling Center. You'll feel more in control of your situation no matter what comes up. 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. Happy School Days I From the Metro Connections People

It took Galileo 16 years to master the universe.

You have one night. It seems unfair. The genius had all that time. While you have a few short hours to learn your sun spots from your satellites before the dreaded astronomy exam. On the other hand, Vivarin gives you the definite advantage. It helps keep you awake and mentally alert for hoL1rs. Safely and conveniently. So even when the subject matter's dull, your mind will stay razor sharp. If Galileo had used Vivarin, maybe he could have mastered the solar

system faster, too.
