For the past six weeks, The Metropolitan has asked to obtain these records. Jodi Wetzel, chair of the search committee, said she could not give out the information and referred the request to Provost David Williams.

THE METROPOLITAN

Mestnik accused of mishandling funds Katarlna Ahlfort

â&#x20AC;˘

..

.._

Staff Writer Tom Mestnik, president of MSCD's student government, is violating tne government's constitution in bis way of handling money, according to James Norris , member of the Student Affairs Board.

Mestnik bas, without -approval from the Senate, spent money on projects, parts of which are not accounted for in the budget, Norris claims.

"Nobody knows where the money comes from. Tom ignores the constitution, and if the problems are not solved, I'll recommend impeachment," Norris said.

Mestnik said some projects have been financed with money from a "Special Project Fund", and admitted to making investments without going before the Senate.

"But it's not considered unconstitutional. It occurs," Mestnik said.

Since Mestnik took office half a year ago, records show several cases of questionable investments from the president, Norris said.

Recently, Mestnik bought $100 worth of tickets to a movie about Naom Chomsky's life. The tickets were distributed to students on campus who wanted to see the film, and the initiative was called "Film for Thought."

"We don ' t know how this was paid for," Norris said.

Mestnik said the movie tickets were paid for by money from the "Special Projects Fund."

Anne McGovern, treasurer for student government, is currently holding onto ¡the bill for $ l 00.

"I won't pay it until I've seen what people think about money being taken out of the budget for this kind of thing, " McGovern said. "The Senate was not informed that the money was spent on movie ticket s. I hold on to all the controversial bills before paying them. It's hard, I can't wait forever before paying," McGovern said.

According to Mestnik, the government has sponsored special projects for "entertainment purposes" before. "It's not outlandish for us to sponsor films," he said.

Two weeks ago, Mestnik bought $50 worth of flowers for vice president Monica Garcia after she had a baby. Again, he took money from the government's budget without the Senate's knowledge.

"I think Monica should be given flowers, but we should pay for them with money from our own pockets," Norris said.

According to Mestnik, the money was taken from "discretionary funds, " but no such funds are mentioned in the budget listing of this year's government expenditures.

"Yes, it's corrupt. Write that," Mestnik said.

Treasurer McGovern said Mestnik is not obligated to inform the Senate before spending budget money.

"He doesn't have to, but he's

'supposed' to," McGovern said. "But this is nothing new - the same kind of things were done last year. Some expenses don ''t fall into a clear cut budget category, and we can't be too picky."

Charles Buchanan worked within the student government last year when Chip Wiman was president.

"Tom and Chip both avoid the constitutional rules and the budget. lf Tom had been smart, he would have included $1,000 for the president to use up," Buchanan said.

The Student Affairs Board, of which James Norris is a student representative, recently received a request from Mestnik for an additional $24, 150 to pay for the remainder of the budget year.

"When the board added up the figures and expenses Mestnik had put together, the final sum came to more than $30,()()(). This was a serious numerical error, it's absurd," Norris said. " You won ' t get an ' A ' in a class if you make those kinds of mistakes."

Mestnik said he was fully responsible for the accounting errors.

"It was totally my fault that column A and B didn't agree. It was a basic math mistake that anybody could make ," Mestnik said.

According to him , the budget was stated "so clear and precise" that there was no confusion about what the government wanted money for.

Norris said three board members asked Mestnik for his main financial priorities, and that they received three different answers.

"We were left on our own to decide what is important to finance on campus," Norris said.

One of Mestnik's requests that the board dismissed, was a $ L,400 expense for sending two people to Detroit, where they would visit the Institute of Labor Studies.

"The initiative would have been the first step in establishing an Institute of Labor Studies at MSCD. We have a

department for entrepreneurs, and there should be one for workers. Ba lance is important," Mestnik said.

At the end of July this year, Mestnik wanted to invest in 2,000 "blue-books," worth $382.50, to give out to students free of charge, for exam taking.

"Tom 's proposal died a horribly ugly death in the Senate," Norris said.

Mestnik said last year, a similar project at the University of Northern Colorado was a "smashing success."

"The books would have given students a chance to find out where student government is located. We would have had our logo printed on the inside cover of the books, to promote our activity," Mestnik said.

According to Norris , Mestnik ¡l ater vetoed an investment of $450 for key chains handed out to students in connection with the Alcohol Awareness see FUNDS, page 7

Mestnik's socialism reflects his presidency Tom Mestnik, president of MSCD student government, has made no secret of being an active Social Democrat. During his presidency, he has mainly concentrated his work around political issues.

"Tom will tell you straight out that he's a socialist. He will, at all times, use his position for pront0ting his ideals," said Charles Buchanan, former member of the Senate. "There you have the _problem. He says he has support from the students, but it's not enough for partisan politics."

Buchanan defined "partisan politics" as making statements in favor of one side, on a consistent basis. The function of student government, he said, should be discussing ideas instead of promoting ideals.

"I've been called a special interest leader," Mestnik said, "but it's important to remember that the groups I've represented are women, gays, workers, Native Americans, people of color, CoPirg, and homeless people. Who 's left?"

Mestnik said the only group in society not represented is the white male elite, which members he said " has had it their way for 500 years."

Mestnik ' s favorit e quote from the Bible, Buchanan said, is: "He who serves shall lead.

"Tom thinks that if he works hard, he ' II teach people through setting an example. I don't know how effective that is."

Buchanan described Mestnik as "fairly radical." The walls of the president 's office are covered by political posters and stickers, with slogans against nuclear weapons and for saving the environment. One sticker reads, "Smash the

Klan, Scum of the Land," and another one says "The Junta Wins, Don't Worry, Be Happy." A picture of revolutionary Che Guevara is one of the wall decorations.

Mike Wempen, a student senator, said Mestnik's philosophy is "Win at any cost" .._ "Tom's main job is to work for the community here on campus," Wempen said. " I'd say there's no need for concentrating primarily on outside, global issues."

Mestnik said that as long as issues influence the lives of the students, they are relevant to campus.

James Norris, student senator and representative on the Student Affairs Board, said Mestnik often acts on impulse, without doing enough research.

"One example is the Coors boycott be initiated this year," Norris said. " Coors finances scholarships for high school students who want to go to college, and last year we had four students at MSCD who were paid $1,000 each per semester."

Norris said Mestnik was unaware that the company directly supported the students on campus. " Thi s is the real world. You can't run around with ideological blinds on," Norris said.

According to Mestnik, Coors, as one of the largest corporations in the nation, reacted to the boycott proposal "right away."

"The company funds right wing, extremist groups. It has files of people working against their business, and we have to reevaluate the seriousness of the effects a boycott would have," Mestnik said.

Norris said Mestnik uses too much propaganda in his presidential work. When the Student Senate earlier this year ratified $350 to a concert on Columbus Day, the project was called "500 Years of Indigenous Resistance."

"Later, it came out to be ' F- Columbus and his Legacy.' The senate would not have supported a concert with that kind of propaganda," Norris said.

Xeturah Woodley, former member of the executive cabinet of student senate, said Mestnik's socialistic ideals does not fit his role as a president.

"The socialist movement is against any form of hierarchy," Woodley said. "Within a government, there is a definite hierarchy. Tom sometimes has a problem delegating responsibilities to people in the office."

According to Mestnik, he, as a president, does not assign anybody things to do. Instead, he said, people take initiatives on their own.

"There's no Messiah complex within student government.

There's no superstar who can lower tuition cost. That's just not see SOCIALISM, page 8

·Overload ·policy met with d.isapproval by students Hero Montilla Staff Writer Chip Wiman, former MSCD student government president, continues his work to change MSCD's new overload policy despite the fact that his term as student trustee will end this month.

The new overload policy was implemented this fall, requiring that students who wish to take 17 credit hours must have a minimum 3.25 GPA and a 3.50 GPA for an overload of 18 credit hours . " President Brewer has always had a concern about students who work heavily and take a Jot of hours," said Jett Conner, MSCD associate vice president for Academic Affairs.

The overload policy was met with disapproval by students, including student government senators who unanimously voted in a resolution opposing it.

Wiman has also worked to persuade MSCD's administration to revise the policy.

According to Wiman, there is no evidence available to prove that an overload of credits substantially affects the academic performance of students.

In fact, Wiman claims, no research was done on the overload policy on the effects it might have on students by anyone at MSCD prior to its being approved.

"The administration on this campus just makes decisions without doing research," Wiman said.

Research based on statistical information was recently compiled by Institutional Research.

According to the results of the study, more than 80 percent of students taking 17 or more credits, are able to maintain or raise their GPA. Thomas Mestnik, student government president, said the new overload policy has actually been detrimental to MSCD. "I think that there has been a loss of 14,000 credit hours that would have been

taken by students this semester because of the overload policy," Mestnik said.

He said this has cost the school thousands of dollars.

Williams disagreed with Mestnik.

"We have lost credits but we haven't lost fivancial recourses. Resources are where they should be," he said.

Wiman has talked with the MSCD Board of Trustee's throughout the semester in an attempt to get the policy changed.

Wiman said David Williams, provost and vice president of Academic Affairs, had offered to come to a compromise concerning the overload policy as . long as

President Brewer has always had a concern about students who work heavily and take a lot of hours -Jett Conner Academic Affairs Wiman did not bring up the issue at a Trustee's meeting.

No settlement of any kind ever materialized and the issue remained unresolved, Wiman said. " Chip had asked me to consider reviewing the overload policy," Williams said, "I brought the request back to my staff. We felt that we needed to continue the policy and review at the end of the year."

Wiman had hoped that a revised policy for the spring semester would make the GPA requirements for credit overload applicable to freshman and sophomores only."

Wiman has a different view of why the proposal wasn't evaluated. "The administrative excuse was that the spring schedules were already printed."

Correction1n the November 20 issue The Metropolitan reported that the study abroad program ottered business courses. There are no business courses offered at this time but there is a possibility they will be ottered in the future.

Usually, you will hear the military TAPS at the end of the day or after the battle. But you will be hearing about Auraria's TAPS before the battle. Its mission: to promote awareness and education on campus with issues concerning the Tivoli.

The Tivoli Action Project for Students, or TAPS, is calling to arms students who want to get involved in the planning of the fate of the Tivoli Student Union.

Katharine Guthrie, -co-chair of TAPS and MSCD sophomore, has a vision for the Tivoli.

"We can really promote the identity of the Tivoli by fixing up the opera house," she said, adding that renovation for the Turnhalle Opera House was not on Auraria Higher Education Center's plan. Lack of money is blamed.

"We're waiting for the Fairy God Mother to bring a gift," said JoAnn Soker, executive vice president for AHEC Administration. The money is just not there, she said, but some safety-code violations will be eliminated by the fust of the year.

"Money is always the excuse," Guthrie said. "This is all business people and all they see is the bottom line."

Besides the opera house, Guthrie's open committee has other tasks at hand.

"We're trying to educate ourselves on the legal aspect of what's going on at the Tivoli - whether they're keeping their promise," she said. Student researchers have volunteered to take on the task.

"I was working on this for nearly a year," she said, "and I was fighting for a

•

while - a short while.

"I was getting worn down working with the administration."

Now Guthrie pulls her rank in another area. The theater major wants to mix her business with pleasure. Her project, the Spring Arts Festival, April 5-6, l 993 , plans to promote the Tivoli as a cult1;1ral center. The festival, which will feature student art , dance, poetry, theater, music and ethnic events, will be the first artistic attempt to bind students with their new student union.

Guthrie is hoping the festival will change the administration's outlook on students and the Tivoli, she said. She also hopes to make the Tivoli a place where students could expose their arts to the campus and the city.

"Students are talent," she said. "They could use that talent."

AHEC says culture is part of its plan for the Tivoli.

"That' s always been part of the planning - to bring culture," Soker said.

"We like students to do things."

Guthrie stresses that the Tivoli is student activity space and is free space for students to use how they see fit within the rules of current student activities policy.

Events that are usually held in the Student Union plaza - performing artists, festivals - should be moved to the Tivoli Atrium, she said.

Guthrie's vision can't be met with only her and the few others on the front line. Troops are being called for legal research, marketing and advertising, graphic designing and TV commercials . for Auraria Campus Television. Interested ' warriors should contact Guthrie through the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board at 556-4589.

Auraria Campus institutions are screaming for performing arts space.

The Tramway building, the Turnhalle Opera House and money would muffle most of those cries and provide Auraria with something it has never had - a place to stage major theatrical productions.

Auraria is asking the Colorado State Legislature for $3,959,000 to refurbish the third floor of the Tramway building, formerly known as the East Classroom.

Is this an acceptable solution to the problem?

"Well, frankly no," said Hal Tamblyn, chairman of the department of music at MSCD. Asked the same question, Laura Cuetara, director of UCD's School of the Arts, said, "No, it's not.

"It's hard enough in this day and age to get people to believe in the performing arts. So when the space became available, we said, 'we'll take it.'"

But weather they' 11 get it or not remains to be seen.

"They (the legislature) are very reluctant to put that much money in the third floor of a very old building across the creek," said Jo Ann Soker, executive vice president for Adminis tration at Auraria, At best, the chances of getting that money are uncertain, Soker said. As of

now, the proposal has passed the Auraria Board of Directors and is in the hands of the Co lorado Commission on Higher Education. If the commission were to approve the project, it would be off to the · Joint Budget Committee of the 1993 legislature.

If the money were to be approved, "I would say it would be up and running in three years at the earliest," Cuetara said.

Exactly what will be in the building is a 200 to 300 seat theater, a recital hall, a dance studio, rehearsal rooms, and production support ,areas among other ·things.

"The question would be what could you do in there," said Tim Kelley, director of facilities management for the Denver Center for the Performing Arts.

"I would do a music-type venue thing.

You can't make it into a theater and do the King and I. There isn't enough space."

The Turnhalle's possibilities as a lecture hall and meeting hall also strike Kelly favorably.

"I don't understand why we are not discussing the future of the Turnhalle," Tamblyn said. "What is being said is that we don ' t have the money to develop it, therefore we are not going to deal with it."

How much money is uncertain. "It's about a $60,000 job," Cuetara said.

Soker disagrees with that amount.

"The lowest I' ve heard is a million and a half. I don't think it (the Turnhalle) is a . choice."

guns do. They don't fully understand what pulling a trigger does," he said.

Each week, Hagedorn said, acts of violence involving kids and guns,. including drive-by shootings, are registered in central Aurora. He seeks to increase punishments for gun related crimes.

"A drive-by shooting should be a felony," Hagedorn said. "Today, a police officer needs to prove that it was an act of attempted murder. The sentencing often ends up being a misdemeanor."

Hagedorn' s main concerns as a legislator, aside from the crime problems, are school finance, health care and economical development of the

Bob Hagedorn, a part-time MSCD political science instructor, was elected Nov. 3 as Democrat representative in House District 42 for central Aurora.

His teaching experience, he said, will benefit from his new legislative role, and his interest in a political career was primarily spurred by his work as a teacher.

"Being elected adds so.me credibility to my lectures," Hagedorn said. Teaching college students, he said, has made him more aware of issues that are of importance to young people in society.

"I shocked myself in deciding to do this (run for the legislative ~tate. " As a political seat) in the first place. science teacher, I It hasn't yet set in that started to actively I won," Hagedorn follow what the said.

"Tom's reason was that we (student government) have to be more fiscally responsible than that. The heavily underfunded health center ended up paying for the key chains," Norris said.

Immediately following that decision, Tom wanted to invest $50 in a painting to hang in his office. The painting would be bought at a silent auction on campus, supporting People of Color Consortium against AIDS. Since the investment would

not directly benefit students on campus, Norris said, the Senate's response was "No." McGovern said Mestnik contradicts himself in his views on how the money should be spent.

"Tom felt that last year's spring awards ceremony, sponsored by Student Activities office and student government was too fancy," McGovern said. "He left before dinner was served, saying that we shouldn't spend that much money on a ceremony."

Clinton's main priority to

focus on domestic issues

FOR FINALS STRESS

In the foggy business of politics, one thing is clear in this year's presidential election: The Clinton administration's main concern is neither foreign policy, nor human rights issues.

"The overriding issue is the domestic economy," said Norman Provizer, chairman of the Political Science Department at MSCD. According to Provizer, the themes of Clinton's presidential term will be "compromising and cooperation between Congress and the president, towards a slow, gradual change."

Clinton's focus, Provizer said, is to avoid becoming another Jimmy Carter, who as a president, alienated Congress and worked independently of them.

"The Democrats have in mind to eliminate the gridlock between Congress and the president, with the two sides constantly butting heads and blaming each other," Provizer said. "We can already see both sides wanting to cooperate."

"Change" was Clinton's campaign slogan. Provizer said the new administration definitely will bring changes to the American people - not radical ones, but continual, gradual developments in a different direction.

The new president's approach, Provizer said, will be to concentrate primarily on domestic issues.

"A flare-up of an international crisis would complicate things. Most studies have shown that once the president takes office, he has about one year to get things done," Provizer said.

"After the initial year, opposition against the administration builds up in the country."

If inflation would be the effect of Clinton's effort to stabilize the United States economy, it would be diasterous for the Clinton administration, according to Provizer.

"Ironically, the best scenario for Clinton would be if Bush was right in saying that the country's economy is 'not that bad,"' Provizer said.

The American people, he said, experience frustration and mixed emotions in voting.

"People do not want high taxes, and yet they do not want to cut down on programs."

Hillary Clinton emerged as a player in the campaign, and according to Provizer, the Republicans made a mistake in "picking on Hillary."

"Hillary benefitted from the nature of the 1992 campaign, since it's the 'Year of the Woman."'

"Eleanor Roosevelt carved out her own nitch and made her own, strong figure. It's a question of whether Hillary can become a new Eleanor," Provizer said.

possible in two semesters of work," Mestnik said.

He described the Student Government office as a place where people can find support and get information about issues such as financial aid and grade grievances.

"The most important thing we can offer students is a place for them to come to create a change," Mestnik said. "That's more rewarding than trying to solve the parking problem."

He said he understands students who feel frustrated and unable to change their situation.

"I can empathize with students who just want to get their degree and get the hell out. But I don't agree. It's everybody's responsibility to get involved," Mestnik said.

Student government, he said, is a "grass-roots radical democracy," and its members are not the "typical political science students who want to play politics."

Represented in the office are, among others, business majors, students within the professional pilots program, and majors within African-American Studies.

"Those people have goals. They have visions," Mestnik said.

Five different music bands are represented in the office, and according to Mestnik, it is a "great atmosphere" within the government. The high turnover rate among the members, he said, is due · to long hours, poor wages, and his own

leadership.

"It freaks some people out that we don't have an employer-employee mentality in the office. The ones that can't grasp that end up resigning," Mestnik said.

Charles Buchanan recently left the Senate because of its "inefficiency."

Mestnik's response to Buchanan leaving his post, was that "Charles loves to write resignation letters. But he doesn 't take his eyes off important issues," Mestnik said.

Buchanan is now involved in working with establishing a bus-ridership program for students.

Mestnik has not made himself visible among the students in the same way as former president Chip Wiman did. He calls Wiman a "one-man dynamo, a likable, charismatic person."

"I'm not like that. I want to see others achieve things, and myself supporting them. Chip lacked in spreading out credit to everyone involved,"Mestnik said.

In the future, he will push for establishing a deferment policy at MSCD, which would give students a chance to pay their tuition throughout the ·semester.

"If the policy goes t.brough, it will be a major victory for the students," Mestnik said.

He will not run for the presidency again. After finishing his term, he plans to go back to factory work in order to pay for his college degree in history.

"After graduating," he said, "I want to work within a non-profit organization."

THE METROPOLITAN

Billions available in unclaimed scholarships Antoinette Vecchio Staff Writer About $6.6 billion in private-sector funding went unused in 1991, according to a United States Congressional study.

One service is trying to change that.

Robert Smith, president of Scholarship Matching Services, said college money available to students goes unused because many students do not know where to apply for financial aid.

Aid is available from corporations, memorials, trusts, found.a tions and other organizations that offer $10 billion in awards annually. .The service matches students with sources that offer scholarships, fellowships · and grants based on the student's skills, hobbies, backgrounds and interests, Smith said.

"Financial need is not a prerequisite for monies offered," Smith said. "Even grades don't figure in to a majority of opportunities available."

More than 200,000 sources of financial aid exist, he said, and some are very unique.

Smith said aid is available specifically for children of divorced parents, farmers, grocery clerks, cab drivers, former golf caddies and even people with last names such as Murphy, Anderson or Haven.

One scholarship, offered by a husband a wife who met at Juniata College is given to left-handed people, he said.

"Two left-handed students on the

tennis team were separated to their own court for practice by the coach. They later got married and offered a scholarship for other 'lefties,' " Smith said.

Financial aid is also offered for parttime students as well as graduate students, he said.

The cost of the matching service is $55, and the service guarantees at least seven sources of financial aid, Smith said.

"If we fail to match the student to at seven sources, we will refund their fees in full and provide them with whatever sources were found free of charge," he said. "It's a good investment."

Students fill out a data form with facts such as their college majors, race, handicaps, sports, work experiences and even their parents' activities, to name a few.

Nancy Bouc, marketing representative for Educational Services of America, a database service used by Smith, said most of the funding available is based on a student's heritage, organizations and grades.

"Most public-sector financial aid in scholarships are based on i.n dividual student characteristics and not on employment or what company you work for," she said.

Although grades are one way to match students with funding, Smith said, high grades are not necessary for receiving aid.

"I've even 'heard David Letterman offers a scholarship for "C" students," he said.

After the student fi lls out the data form, it is faxed on the same day to the computer base where all information is cross-referenced with available funding sources, Smith said.

In about two weeks, the student receives a printout of about 20 available sources, he said.

Smith said he goes one step further by supplying a pre-printed form letter which the students can reproduce and send to each source requesting applications.

"I find if I do most of the work for the student, the odds of this information being tossed in the student's drawer are minimized," Smith said. "All they have to do is Lick a stamp. They will already have met the source's requirements for acceptance and when the application arrives, the student just puts that information on the form."

Deadlines are fast approaching for the spring semester, Smith said, and inquires should be made before Dec. 15.

Smith travels across the country,

lecturing to high school graduating classes, college fairs and Parent-TeacherAssociations counseling both students and parents on alternative financial prospects.

He counsels individuals at no charge, he said.

"I'm amazed at how few people know that there are tons of money out there," Smith said. "Even with scholarship books printed, the addition of new scholarships could only be updated by a computer."

Smith requests that students stop by their college's financial aid office for many reasons.

"Mainly, because it's free," Smith said. "It's unfortunate, however, that only a-limited amount of time can be offered to each student at a large college. After federal and state grants are exhausted, private sector funding can make up the balance of school costs including books and stipends."

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

Open the records, please From the staff of The Metropolitan

,..

Jodi Wetzel, chair of the search committee for the dean of Letters, Arts and Sciences, claims that the people requesting the release of records were trying to sabotage the committee and the search process.

This is far from the truth. In the inspection of the files Wednesday by The Metropolitan, the top candidates all seemed to be qualified.

In viewing government records , this does not translate into the implication that there is something illegal about them . Having open records has nothing to do with the integrity of members on committees.

Open records do concern the public having the right to know how government entities conduct their business and the progress of such business.

The dean of Letters , Arts and Sciences is such an important position at a public college that there should be no problem obtaining records concerning the search for a new dean.

One does have to wonder what the big deal is in releasing the

information. The search comm ittee responded defensively as if the members' integrity was at stake. The members were not being questioned, but the process was.

The administration should realize that conducting business in an open environment is the best way for this college to continue maturing . The Colorado Legislature has already determined this.

Questions about the process are raised only when information is hidden and kept from the public.

Concern was expressed from the search committee about the confidentiality requested by some of the candidates. However, this is a public entity and the people who work here are public servants. Additionally, when candidates become finalists , how much longe( can they expect confidentiality?

Students, faculty and staff: This is your institution and each one here has the right to view public records. The committee has determined that "all the files will be kept in Dr. Morehouse's office for the interested members of the public to view." Take them up on this.

Injustice of womanhood MAMA MARIANI JEAN MARIANI-SEAR

,

Why is it that ... women are criticized on national TV for inviting wealthy women to political fundraising events while men hold $1500-a-plate dinners and ' no one impugns their ability to "represent the common man?"

Why is it that ... women are censured if they gain weight while men "gain stature?"

Why is it that ... there are pregnant mommy dolls sold without daddy dolls?

Where are the toy manufacturers' fami ly values? Or is (heaven forfend) their priority the bottom line? Also , why was the mommy doll, who is clearly single, manufactured with a ring permanently on her finger?

Why is it that ... Magic Potty Baby only comes in one gender? .. . boys are not allowed to play with dolls (except GI Joe) and then we (society) expect them to be good fathers? Isn't the rationale for dolls is that they teach girls their "role" in life? Maybe we should paint machine guns pink and see if they sell to girls. On second thought, better not: my son's favorite color is pink and I don't allow guns in the house, not even pretend ones.

Why is it that ... when you file for divorce and your husband is asked about custody, he says, "It wo!:Jld ruin my lifestyle," and just that, simply, a woman's right to a lifestyle she might prefer is over? Then he fights .fpr visitation, gets it, and then sees the kid as often as he pays his child support,

which is perennially late and just as often short. But his rights were protected.

Why is it that ... most nude models in art classes are women? Are there no men willing to take off their clothes for money? Most men I know wouldn 't even have to be paid to "get nekkid" in front of people.

Why is it that ... men have huge hormone swings every day, almost more than the average woman in a monthly cycle, but she is medicated and he is not? He's "just being a man."

Well, we're just being women and it is normal and healthy for us to cycle more visibly than men in some respects.

Why is it that ... our children are killing each other? Is this some horrible experiment in overpopulation gone terribly awry? Baby rats kill each other or older rats kill younger to secure more resources for themselves. Now the dead babies know what and how large their share of the resources are: a cemetery plot or reliquary urn. And the babies who put them there know what their share is too: a prison cell and all the time they always wanted to themselves.

Escapists.

Why is it that ... elected officials who are women are constantly having their clothing commented on and you never hear Tom Brokaw say, "Isn't that a stunning red tie Bob Dole has on?

Really brings out the color of his nose." (Apologies for the liberties with your name on such short acquaintance, Mr. Brokaw). Perhaps it would be more substantive to ask Mr. Dole for his favorite recipe for chocolate chip cookies?

CENSORSHIP OF SELF...

FORUM~~~~~~

Thobhani 's response Several people , students and faculty colleagues, have been asking me for my reaction and response to the controversy surrounding the cross listing of the course Topics in AfricanAmerican History taught by Professor Angeletti . It is quite iron ic that the program, African -American Studies, that has led the struggle for cross listing of courses on this campus since the late 1960s is now being accused of denying cross listing. How things have changed. In the early history of MSCD, many traditional departments res isted the idea of cross listi ng African-American Studies and Chicano Studies courses because some faculty of the traditional departments questioned the academic integrity of the Ethnic Studies courses and their faculty. There were always a minority of faculty and chairpersons in these traditional departments who welcomed cross listings and cooperated. In 1985, large-scale cross listing was instituted at MSCD. This happened, not due to the enlightenment of the faculty, but because it was mandated by the administration as a part of the college reorganization that occurred that year.

Some faculty members and department chairs were greatly upset at this development. Enough of the history.

With regard to the current controversy, when I returned from my sabbatical in May 1992, Dr. C.J. White informed me of the fact that he had decided not to cross list the course in question. He is currently on sabbatical.

One of the key reasons, and I fully concur with him , why he refused to cross list the course was that another course, African-American History, was also being offered the same semester and that course was cross listed. Now, the course African-American History is a course that was first developed by the History Department and is cross listed with AAS. However, this course had gone untaught for several years because no qualified faculty had been available. I wonder why Angeletti did not choose to offer to teach that class during all those years. Then, finally, we found a qualified person within the MSCD, with an MA in African and African -American History, Mr. Joe Threadgill. We were delighted when

he agreed to teach the class and pleased that Dr. Leonard, Chair of the History Department, consented to offer the course, since from the beginning that course had been in his department. So , when Angeletti proposed his course that meant that African-American history, which had not been taught for several years, now all of a sudden, would be taught in two courses. Our argument was that we did not know that there would be enough interest to fill two courses, and the result may be that neither course would make it.

Upon my return to the campus in May, I took the position that Professor Angeletti's course should be canceled altogether, because, for me, there was a larger issue. We have a bona-fide program of African-American Studies on this campus, offering a major and a minor and any faculty member who wishes to teach a course related to the African-American experience, at least needs to demonstrate some professional courtesy and consult with our faculty, and not demand that we accommodate his or her interest. We have a great working relation with the History Department and numerous other departments on th is campus based on mutual professional respect and recognit ion , as testified by Professor Monica Visona.

Finally, I would like to correct one statement attributed to me in the October 16, 1992 article by Jeff Martinez. I did not and do not claim that multi-cultural courses should stay within our Institute. All departments and programs must address multiculturalism. After twenty years of struggling for an inclusive education, I am delighted to see the fire of multiculturalism sweeping across this country and commend those MSCD faculty, administrators and departments that supported the adoption of the . multicultural requirement on this campus. As to my response to comments attributed to Professor Jackson, we have been walking the walk for years before your arrival on this campus.

~~~~~~~~~LETTERS~~~~~~~~~

Boycott Colorado Economic climate 'not that bad' With the passage of the hideous Amendment Two in Colorado , an organization comprised of heterosexual and homosexual advocates of human and civil rights has emerged. The organization , Boycott Colorado, already has over 150 members in little over a week's time since its formation. Our purpose is to promote, record and report the effects of a boycott and to monitor specific businesses, communities and organizations for boycott. We are taking a leadership role in the nationwide boycott that has already begun.

There is already a national boycott of our state, with groups also forming in California, Oregon, Washington, Missouri, Maine, and Florida, to name a few.

Within the next few weeks, we the people of Colorado, will be bombarded with media attention as this boycott unfolds. The purpose of the boycott is to show Colorado that this amendment of hate will not be tolerated and not be allowed to spread to other states in our country.

If we cannot convince Colorado for Family Values that it is wrong to discriminate, maybe they will feel it in their pocketbooks.

I encourage everyone to write a little note to people who sponsored the anti-gay

Amendment Two and let them know that this amendment is wrong , and discrimination is wrong, and Colorado does not want to be known as "The Hate State." As specific businesses/comm unities/ organizations are found to back this amendment, they' will be publicly exposed and boycotted.

Quotes from Martin Luther1 King, Jr.: "Basic to the philosophy of nonviolence is the refusal to cooperate with evil. There is nothing quite so effective as the refusal to cooperate economically with the forces and institutions which perpetuate evil in our communities."

"A boycott is never an end within itself. It is merely a means to awaken a sense of shame within the oppressor, but the end is reconciliation.

The end is redemption ... The aftermath of nonviolence is reconciliation and the creation of a beloved community."

"The key word ... is 'respect'; it says, in substance, 'If you respect my dollars, you must respect my person. If you respect my quantitative support, then you must respect the quality of my job and my basic material needs'."

While I appreciate your interest and concern with the macroeconomic policies of the United States government, I am quite concerned with your sources of empirical data supporting your arguments in your recent column (The Metropolitan, Oct. 23).

First, workers' wages far exceed the increases in inflation. I direct you to page 202 of the 1990 Census where it shows, after inflation, every income quintile went up from 1980-1990. If you do not care for Census statistics, nor do I, check with the Labo r Department. They confirm the findings, most recently, by showing that average wages are increasing at a rate of 10.75 percent per year. Now, sir, you know that the inflation rate is nowhere near 10.75 per year.

Also, there is no evidence that we (the country) are heading into a recession and certainly not a depression.

Furthermore, you comment

Since the distribution of the well-known anti-Columbus flyer and subsequent letters in response, and now, with the results of Amendment Two, I've been wracking my brain trying to understand why; Why all the hate, why all the rage, why the polarization between

convinces me they have their own personal agendas to advance. ~ The Tivoli is a case in· oint . It's behind schedule P already, and delays are mounting because admin istration is bent on pushing their own agenda on the issue , contrary to the way it was agreed upon when the issue was put to a vote. I realize that as a .student I won 't always agree with or even like what 's in the school's best interest. I am also beginning to realize that the people responsible for the school's best interest consider that subordinate to their own personal agendas. I challenge the administration to do what's right or do the students a favor: RESIGN, or at least let those who have the school's best interest at heart do their jobs.

By the way , Ronald Reagan never said nor believed that the rich had too little money and the poor had too much , regardless of what Jesse Jackson reminds you .

In this case, I am reminded of a raving nut with a political agenda. Contrary to Jackson's beliefs , Reag.-a n correctly noted that if you wish to have capitalism, it requires capital.

If you wish to free up the creation of capital, reduce taxes . It 's that simp le .

Jackson is clearly cooking lies to thwart rational economic decision making for his own agenda.

Although I agree with you, in principle, that Clinton is a reasonab le substitute for Bush , I cannot agree with your findings of our economic state.

Indeed, we have some policy problems and things could always be better, but we simply are not as bad off as you maintain.

----Why hate?----

Administration misguided Having attended Metro for 1-1 / 2 years now, I have become increasingly concerned about the things I have been reading and experiencing regarding Auraria's administration. My latest case in point is how the snowstorm was handled the Monday prior to Thanksgiving. Closing campus at 12:00 was a good idea, but I question the decision to open campus the following day. Was it really in the school 's best interest to expect students to risk their personal safety to attend classes? And would it have been too much to alert the media that campus was open instead of allowing the phone lines to get jammed up? Or is responsibility an outdated concept?

The events of that day are relatively minor, but it points up a disturbing pattern at the higher levels of administration that involves everything they do. I have seen little to convince me that the current administration has the

that the people who had the "party" in the 1980s must pay.

No empirical study to date supports this claim.

Who had the party? I assume you refer to the rich.

Let's look at the facts.

According to the IRS Document 1304, in 1981 , under the tax laws of a Democratic presidency , the fi lthy rich (those whose incomes exceed $1 million per annum) paid $4.9 billion in taxes. 1n 1988, post Gipper tax rate cuts, the rich paid $42.3 billion . Incredible! The rich paid more taxes under Reagan . This is supply side economics which has been shown to work. Don't believe me? Bel ieve others. The countries of Japan and Sweden adhere to Reaganesque public policy. If you do not believe in supply side economics, then explain to me how Japan could become such an economic empire while practicing tactics similar to Reagan's.

some people involved and dedicated to this issue. And yet, I've walked gway from these encounters no less frustrated and discouraged.

Nobody seems to be able to answer the simple question, "Why?" 1 know there are those who will say that their people have been oppressed and persecuted for centuries and that hate and rage are only natural reactions to these crimes. And I will say, "Yes, I understand." (And I do, for my family was held at gunpoint for days by the Sandinistas in Nicaragua, and forever lost their land and possessions.)

They will say that in order to regain their pride and to stand up for those who have suffered countless injustices, they must demonstrate and protest the heinous crimes committed against their people. And I wilJ say, "You ~.,,,

must." Then they will say that in order to gain the attention of the masses and to prove a point, they will utilize their hate and rage to cause fear and breed hostility. That is when I must stand and say, "No, I do not, nor will I ever condone such behavior."

We must be wise with our words as we are wise with our actions. As the newly-elected president of the Montgomery Improvement Association, 26year-old Martin Luther King , Jr. spoke to the people of the Holt Street Baptist Church in 1954 in Montgomery, Ala . : "One of the great glories of democracy is the right t o protest for right ... protest courageously , and yet, with dignity and Christian love .. ."

In addition, during the Aug. 28 , 1963 March on Wash ington, King , A. Philip Randolph , (a leading c ivil rights leader who planned the march), Bayard Rustin (deputy director of the march) and others convinced John Lewis of the Student Non -Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) that his speech must be modified so as not to jeopardize the then fragile coalition of church leaders , white liberals, black activists and labor representatives.

Was this, as Tom Mestnik suggests, a "method that [was] acceptable to the white [majority] whom_ they sought ~---

"

.. ... _

as allies?" Did the founders and leaders of the Civil Rights Movement, in their attempt to peacefully protest the unconstitutional treatment of African -Americans, "[make] alliances with those who insist on the correct method to be used in the struggle for liberation?" Were the efforts of the youths who formed the SNCC "propagandists for the ruling elite?" Were J im Lawson 's strategies , wh ich were derived from Mohandas Gandhi's movement in India, "bowing down" to the majority, or ruling class?

I say no. Instead, they were attempts to bring about equal ity and justice to a people who had experienced discrimination and racism for centuries - peaceful and dignified attempts. Were they successful? Yes, after much bloodshed and violence , America d id w itness the triumph of the Civil Rights Movement, even though we still have a long way to go for all the oppressed and persecuted in th is country.

Why? Because rather than perpetuating that which they were protesting (hatred and discrim i nation) by implementing it into their demonstrations, they chose to rise above it and move forward.

Winter again.

The north wind blows hard down the eastern slope of the mountains, bringing with it a change in the weather, a change in the season, a change in our hearts and lives. The snow begins slowly, swirling in currents .and patterns unseen by most, depositing itself in the bare trees, on the brown .grass, lodging calmly in our minds. A purification of sorts, pure white, virginal, is the coming of winter. A time for renewed spirits , a time for renewed passions.

The wind blows cold all around us. We pass through it quickly, trying not to heed its call, trying to ignore the urgent plea of its message, never stopping in our appointed rounds to obscurity. A cleansing of the world, a new perspective in our eyes , we behold with disdain this seasonal change, and desire our sunny, dry days of summer. But where would we be without this wonder of seasons .· Where would we be without th is f ickle change of nature?

Winds of T hor stingi ng ou r cheeks with their accompanying

Walden. Abbey had his enchanted Canyons . Where does your affection lie? What is truly dear to you? What is that for which you wou ld sacrifice everything? How do you intend to fulfill yourself?

No one can do it for you.

Winter is upon us, bringing its promise of wind and snow, short days and ever colder nights. The warmth of the holidays will glow and gradually fade, ending with a new beginning, a new year, a new chance for redemption or failure, a time to rearrange oneself or continue down the chosen path.

Where will that path lead you?

Why do you follow so blindly?

Never asking directions, a blind faith guiding you to undiscovered wealth or unspeakable tragedy.

Where will you be in another year? What path will you decide to travel?

Life is all around you, waiting to be explored, eager to offer its secrets and treasures, willing to show you the way. All you have to do is ask. Be sure to ask the correct question ; the wrong question will often lead you back to the beginning, back to the path you were j ust t ravell ing . Take control of your destiny, live every day as if it were your last, f ind your happiness and gratefully spread it to others. And if you g~t confused, just· listen to the music play (J. Garcia).

Wonderful winter here again loads of snowflakes, the gods are smiling, but we can only Eric Mccafferty frown at the beauty we find ourselves besieged with, "Tyranny of the highest sort," we mumble to ourselves as we keep our faithful rounds.

The days becoming shorter and colder, our hearts becoming darker and more rigid, unforgiving of the cruel trick being played upon us. No approval from the humans, stop this tyranny. We struggle against this harsh oppressor with all our might, never slowing to examine the intricate beauty deposited by the wings of winter. And before we realize what has happened, we have slipped from this beauty and tranquil ity into another season; the season of growth and exploitation. Why do we allow this to happen? Why do we not enjoy this variation in the seasonal pattern? Why do we stay and subject ourselves to this yearly treachery?

When was the last time you laughed with the wind, or frolicked with the snow? When was the last time your heart filled with joy at the sight of an unplowed city street? When was the last time you were truly happy? What do you have in your heart that makes every day worth living?

MSCD students learn to cope ~~~~~~~~FEA1 with sexual harassment Spike Lee hopes to prove 'X

Hero Montilla Staff Writer

'

Due to the attention the Clarence Thomas/Anita Hill Senate hearings were given, most people are now familiar with the term "sexual harassment."

In fact, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) said the number of sexual harassment complaints have increased in Colorado since Thomas and Hill had it out with each other last year in Washington D.C. Between October 1991 and June 1992, 150 complaints were filed in Colorado, double the number filed in the previous year.

Chances are students at MSCD will experience sexual harassment in the workplace, either in jobs they hold while going to school or after graduation.

Fortunately, there is faculty at Auraria who are aware of this and are doing their best to help students learn what to do if they experience sexual harassment and how to protect themselves from it.

Mary Lou Fenili, the Ombud UCO, said 50-80 percent of:J.VlE11111!81Q: ence sexual harassmen · Fenili has been c:Qailfil.I:~

e Thomas, we conduct sexual s. Faculty and staff were required to attend," said Percy Morehouse, director of the MSCD Office of Equal Opportunity.

By taking these workshops, students can educate themselves about sexual harassment in the workplace and learn how to cope if they are faced with harrassment.

"Support groups aren't readily available. Both men and women think you ' re making too big of a deal otit of it," she said.

Fenili has additional ideas about how women can prevent sexual harassment in the workplace and how they can prepare if it happens.

"If people realize that it can happen to them, that's something they can do. You have to get information by going to workshops and tele-conferences and asking employers to get sexual harassment training," Fenili said.

Morehouse also has a suggestion about what students need to do to prepare for their future in the job world, where sexual harassment can occur, and often does.

"Once they they leave here they need to know what their rights and responsibilities are," he said.

Chicano/Latino art: Images in the Age of AIDS at Emmanuel After hearing the stories of HIV-infected Latino gay men , a woman who was infected with the ADIS virus through intravenous drug use and a woman who lost two brothers to the disease during a meeting sponsored by the Colorado Latino AIDS Community Network known as The Network; 16 Colorado Latino artists used this as a realistic basis for their artwork in order to educate the Chicano community and others about AIDS. The results are a powerful, cultural message, that no community or lifes!yle is safe from this disease.

"Chicano/Latino Art: Images in th Age of AIDS," showing at the Emmanuel gallery on the Auraria Campus, keeps the alarm sounding that the threat of AIDS lingers in all communities.

Awareness and communication about the disease is essential even in communities where discussing sex is traditionally hushed. Combining traditional Chicano themes and motifs, such as the religious symbol of Our Lady of Guadalupe , skulls from P r e Colombian culture, and the

bright, festive colors of Mexican folk art.

The works present moving ideas by the individual artists.

Artist Sylvia Montero's mixed-media works emphasize Chicano/Latino attitudes

towards sex and condoms. Montero's collage titled "Las Revolucionarias del Condon," features Mexican artist Frida Kahlo holding condoms among other women of the "Condom Revolution, " including Our Lady of Guadalupe.

Each sends a message about the role between men and women - either wear a condom or choose death -- and that women need to be empowered not to just please the man by having unprotected sex. Her second collage "Viva el Condon," another mixedmedia work, features two headless, nude men wearing florescent, hand-colored condoms with the green, orange and yellow-colored Guadalupe Virgin centered between them. A sentence reads " Que tienes en -contra de un condon?" (What do you have against a condom?)

Upstairs in the gallery the "Trini ty Aids Wall ," by Judy Miranda was inspired by the Vietnam memorial in Washington D.C. Two giant, black triangles butt together, with the names of those who have died from the disease , hand written in letters.

Miranda combines photographs , skeleton

paper clippings and photographs of AIDS panels from the AIDS memorial Quilt, paralleling stories Hispanic communities tell about their dead.

The show runs through December 16.

Computer Jabs offer free access for all MSCD students Katarina Ahlfort Staff Writer

More than 200 computers at Metro Computer labs are available for MSCD students to use for their studies or personal projects. The computers range from simple word processors to sophisticated science terminals.

The service is paid for by every MSCD student, but not all students are aware of the possibilities offered in the eight computer labs that students can take advantage of.

"Micro-computing has an enormous impact today," said John Reed, director of the Academic Computer and User Service at MSCD. "We want everybody to know that they can come here to write their term papers," he said.

MSCD students can use the computer labs free of charge. Every student at MSCD pays for these services each semester, through an Information Technology Fee, which for the past year has been part of tuition.

The amount depends on the number of credit hours the student has enrolled for, and vary between $4 and $20 for the computer service per semester hour.

"Each of the approximately 50 academic programs at school should present computer usage to the students," Reed said. "Graduates within any field will encounter computers in their future careers and work places."

Computers are used for history, music and art classes. Reed said astronomy

classes use the computers to create a planetarium effect on the classroom ceiling, through the usage of special software and an overhead projector.

The latest news among the computer investments on campus are the NeXT computers, used for math, physics and science. These compact terminals have powerful programs with the ability to handle complicated calculations, but are also capable of basic word processing.

THE METROPOLITAN

Mentor Ylants to provide support sys~em for students Like other faculty and staff participating in the program, Mary Ann Loeffler volunteers as a mentor to help students survive their higher education experience.

An assistant professor of Human, Performance, Sports and Leisure, Loeffler has been involved with the Program since its inception, serving as a member of the Advisory Board.

"The Mentorship Program can help the individuals who are having trouble balancing everything," Loeffler said.

"It can be a support system that they don't g'et outside the school. I think you can stick your neck out to help a student."

Having spent the last 13 years teaching full-time at Metropolitan State College of Denver, Loeffler's commitment to students is clear.

In addition to teaching all of the Therapeutic Recreation classes for the department, she also spends a lot of her "spare" time volunteering.

She has taught skiing for the

National Sports Pro gram for the Disabled at Winter Park for the last 17 years and was a member of a team that created the handicappedaccessible trail at Winter Park.

In addition, she also runs a sports camp for physically challenged populations teaches adaptive aquatics for the American Red Cross.

Puhalski plans to graduate in May, but hopes their partnerships will not end.

"Even though I'm graduating, I plan on being their friends for a while, if they let me," she said.

THE METROPOLITAN

Student Legal Service helps students

METRO CONNECTIONS HOLIDAY HASSLES Dear Metro Connections: The holidays are coming up, and I am dreading them. Although my parents live dose by, I moved out a year ago to live with a friend on the other side of Denver. Most of my brothers and sisters did the same over the years. However. on holidays, it's tradition for us kids to stay at home.

It's not that I'm not close to my family. I am, and the first day or two are great. Mom bakes, and we all help. But after a few days together, we encl up getting into fights just like when we were kids. My mom and dad get grouchy , and everybody is glad to leave. It's almost to the point where I feel the bad feelings aren' t worth it. We're all adults now.

Why does this happen?

Signed, John Dear John: If you think it's bad now, just wait until you get married and have two families to deal with! Seriously. holidays raise unresolved issues and patterns of relating from our past , which are fed by by good and bad memories as well as unfulfilled expectations.

To some extent these patterns reemerge whenever the original situations are approximated.

Everyone questioned on this topic had some coping strategies to get them through the holidays with their families! One of the strategies for lessening holiday stress that almost everyone mentioned is the value of vlannin~ and stickin~ to the plan. Planning may take many forms. One of the people we polled has 13 brothers and sisters, each of which has a spouse and children. Planning for this family involves each person taking responsibility for his/her own needs. This serves to lessen the hassles and misunders tandings among family members. For others , family headaches are so heightened during holidays that they choose to visit any time hut the holidays.

For you, planning may involve agreeing with your family on time spent alone, so that you ' re not all stepping over one another.

Planning may mean taking some good books with you and sneaking off into a quiet corner when the situation gets oppressive or making some time to spend with friends .

Here are some other great tips from t h group: • Eat regularly and stay a~ay from lots of sugar. Often on the holidays, your eating schedule can get unbalanced and so can your blood sugar.

This can make folks cranky in itself.

• Get some regular exercise - don't just sit around and eat.

• Spend some time with friends as well as family.

• Consider changing the routine. This could range from meeting some where away from home for a week, for a weekend, or for dinner and a movie.

• Leave early, while the feelings are still warm. Keep the visits short and sweet!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS From the Metro Connections People

Facing a Divorce? Got yourself a DUI? Dreading the day it's your turn to face the judge? Have no fear, Student Legal Services is here.

"There are four areas we essentially help students with," said Spike Adams, director of Auraria Student Legal Services.

The first of these is free advice on any legaJ problems a student may have.

"It covers a gamut of things ," from landlord/tenant disputes to DUI's, Adams said. "We explain to them what that's all about." He never goes to court with his clients, but the advice Adams gives before hand could be invaluable.

Another aspect of the service, is that it sponsors debates covering topics as

... that goal 'is to provide stu dents with some kind of legal adv ise that would help them stay in school.'

-Yolanda Ericksen diverse as Rodney King to Amendment Six. Last year the office sponsored seminars covering wills, divorce and rent disputes.

The service also provides students pamphlets on divorce and a list of attorneys offering their services at a discounted rate. " If they come in and it is clear that they are going to need an attorney, we will refer them," Adams said.

Attorney's fees , which vary , are discounted $10 to $30 per hour, a good deal for students on a tight budget.

One lawyer on the referral attorney list, Scott E. Baroway, said, "We act ac; a

S{

S

people finn , but if we can help in other way-- financially--then we'd be willing to."

What kind of problems do students come to Baroway with? "They pretty much have the same kinds of problems as anybody else," he said.

The low attomey fees are in line with Student Legal Services' main goal.

Yolanda Ericksen, Assistant Dean for Student Affairs , said the goal "is to provide students with some kind of legal advise that would help them stay in school. Ericksen added that Adams' job has the same bottom line. "He's just keeping the price of legal counseling down."

But Adams added that he's not just an inexpensive reservoir of legal knowledge and advice, but a person who cares.

"When people come in with a legal problem," Adams said, "its got some emotional aspects. People are hurting, you can see the pain an individual can be in."

And when the opportunity is there or the need is felt, " I try to encourage them , if they choose to, to talk about it," he said.

A holistic approach to what is going on is how Adams best describes a visit to his office. This is not to say that everyone who visits his office is in need of counseling beyond the realm of the strictly legal, but an eye is always kept open for those who may . If something more than a kind hearted attorney is needed, students are referred to counseling at their schools. " It' s not just a legal problem," Adams said.

• It's not only a problem of dealing with the stress and fear that grows daily as a court date nears, but also the daily life of just being a student. Adams can understand this, like so many who attend the Auraria Campus, he works part-time in addition to school. Atte nding the University of Denver' s graduate school, at age 4 7, Adams is working toward a Master's degree in social work.

His past education includes a Bachelors degree in English from

flampton College of Virginia in 1969, a Master' s in Public Administration from the University of Colorado in 1974 and he graduated law school at the University of Denver in 1979. He has worked as a defense attorney, for the Attorney General in Colorado and, for a time, held his own practice.

' A holistic approach to what is going on.'

-Spike Adams Besides being the "big man on campus" when it comes to the law, Adams is working at Saint Luke's Hospital on the addiction recovery unit as part of his Master's program. His time spent in the office of Student Legal Services averages 25-30 hours a week (he only gets paid for 20 hours, officially.)

"With classes, field work, practicum and study I just don' t have enough time," he said.

Not enough time to devote to each case as he would like, Ericksen too sees this as a problem. The solution, Ericksen said, is in funding . That funding comes directly from each of the three schools on campus, bypassing any connection with Auraria.

"The commitment has got to come from the three institutions. They need to look at the program and agree that it needs dollars ," she said. The money requested for this year totals $60,L39.

During March through September of thi s year, the office of Student Legal Services' own figures show an average of 51 contacts with students a month .

Information on how many out of the 51 returned for further consultation and how many were new clients was not provided by the office.

The office of Student Legal Services is located just east of the Auraria Campus in the UCO building, room 153 and can be contacted by calling 620-4828.

A new recording company is on the scene in Denver with the intention of promoting front- range alternative acts on a national level.

A recent effort on the MSCD campus by T he Caustic Fish Co. for a logo design contest went largely unnoticed by students.

The Caustic Fish Co. is interested in signing bands to their fledgling label, especially student bands or those with a serious interest in music, in an effort to capitalize on the expanding music scene in Colorado.

"The alternative scene is the only one that's really growing," said Caustic Fish's director of publicity, Eric Theil. "There's new places opening up, like Seven South, the I-Beam and Okoboji 's, that are focused more on new , original talent, instead of bands that just do covers. We want to bring Colorado music to the attention of the rest of the country ," he said.

Theil points out that Caustic Fish will probably be one of several labels attempting to take advantage of th e alternative talent in the area.

"I don't think it's going to be done by just one company," Theil said. "I'd love to see more alternative labels come here.

When you foster competition like that, I

think it's healthy. It's like having more than one grocery s tore , to make an analogy. It's more exciting."

Theil adds that a deal has just been worked out with a firm that will allow Caustic Fish products to be distributed outside of Colorado.

"We're trying to coordinate everything here in Colorado first, and then by next September we hope to have a national radio and publicity campaign underway," Theil said.

Theil and Caustic Fish president Kirk Drabing welcome all submissions from interested mu s icians. They can be reached by calling 83 I - 7 424 or send demo tapes and CD's to PO box 597 .

This Thanksgiving weekend was the first in eight weeks that James Poynter spent at home in Denver. It goes with the territory of being an educator in the field of travel management.

Poynter has published several books dealing with the field of travel and tour management. His latest, Tour Design, Marketing, and Management, was released this September. The book takes the reader on a step-by-step journey through the process of developing a bus or air tour. .

Poynter said his books serve mainly as college texts and self-study guides for people already in the industry.

'There is no duplication in the topics I write about," Poynter said, "so there is a good national market for my books. I just talked to a student of mine who said he saw one of my books on sale in Japan."

Poynter has been responsible for helping more tour companies than any other educator in the United States, to get started and operate profitably. As head of the Travel Administration Department at MSCD, Poynter helped start the first Corporate Travel course in the country.

"As many as half of the students in the travel courses are owners and managers of operating companies," Poynter said. "In one of my senior-level courses, there are only two students who are not working in the industry."

Beside teaching and giving seminars on the travel industry, Poynter is treasurer of the Colorado Authors League. He is using his experience as a free-lance travel writer to organize seminars on writing for the travel industry.

"I've done a lot of work in feature writing," Poynter said. "I keep saying I am going to concentrate on books, but as soon as I say that, I will see an article of

mine in a magazine."

Poynter just accepted an appointment putting together an education supplement in Business Travel Management, a technical magazine for the travel ·industry.

In addition to managing the supplement, he will be writing a monthly column for the magazine.

Poynter's other books include Foreign Independent Tours, Corporate Travel Management and Travel Agency Accounting Procedures. The books are available at the Auraria Book Center and the Tattered Cover.

Poynter wilJ not be home for long. In January he will be taking a cruise with his family. He will also be teaching a "cruise" course in the Spring semester, so he says he will be brushing up on his knowledge of the area.

"My wife and kids can go off and do what they want. All I do is gather material for my books and relax."

From the time he was 8 years old, John Tressler has wanted to see the other side of the world. As a child, he would look through National Geographic and marvel at the picturesque landscapes and exotic cultures and people that called those landscapes home. He was not sure how he was going to do it, but one way or the other, Tressler was going to see those places first hand.

At the age of 48, Tressler, an MSCD graduate, is on the threshold of realizing his dream. On November 20th, he left behind his United States homeland as a member of the first Peace Corps team to visit the former Soviet Union.

"I'm scared to death , but excited at the same time," Tressler said about the possibilities that await him in a country riddled with changes.

Th is past June 17 , Peace Corps

The timing was perfect for Tressler.

"I got the application and was told nothing was opening up until 1993 ," Tressler said. "I had to put down my top three choices. I listed Russia as my first, Africa as my second, and Latin America as the third. In May of 1992, I received a letter that said I had been accepted."

While in Russia , Tressler will be stationed in Saratov, along the Volga river. The focus of the project will be small enterprise development. Under the project design, small business centers, staffed by 4-5 corps volunteers, will be established in regional capitals and economic centers. Tressler has been studying Russian at the National Language Institute to aid him in communicating with the native citizens.

Tressler first considered the Peace Corps when he was taking a speech class at MSCD in 1987.

"We had to come up with a topic to give a speech on, and I didn ' t know what to give it on," Tressler said. " I went to the reference section of the library and saw a poster on the wall about the Peace Corps. On the poster, the re was a volunteer leaning over, helping an African Child. Underneath the poster was the slogan, 'It's the toughest job you '11 e ve r love. ' I asked for information and went to the recruiting office on 18th and Sherman," he said.

Tressler went to an orientation meeting , wrote an outline, prepared visual aids and gave his five minute speech. After he finished his speech, people asked him if he had been in the Peace Corps.

John Tressler joined the Peace Corps for "People came up to me and travel and is now off to serve in Russia. said, 'you made it sound so real. ' guess spea kin g i;ibout it drew my Director Elaine L. Chao and Acting Russian Prime Minister Yegor Gaydar interest," Tressler recalled.

The speech drew enough of Tressler's signed an agreement establishing a Peace Corps program in the Russian Federation. interest to convince him to submit an

'

.

.

application to the corps in 1988.

"I was scheduled to go to Kenya, Africa in August of 1989. Because of 'financial responsibilities, I was unable to go. I put it on the back burner. In September of 1992, I decided to pursue it again," Tressler said.

A Peace Corps volunteer must make many sacrifices. Tressler sold his house, his car and quit his job of 20 years. He sold most of his possessions at a garage sale, keeping only memorabilia that would fit in a rented storage space. He also gave away his dog.

"I joke with my friends that I have been living out of Xerox boxes," he laughs.

The Peace Corps asks "Are you committed?" of aJl its volunteers. Tressler said every letter he has received has closed with that question. Tressler attended a five day training session before going overseas. He said he expected to be drilJed on whether or not he is committed.

The Peace Corps will be reassured. John Tressler does not lack commitment.

Tressler was committed enough to earning a Bachelor of Science degree in business to attend classes at MSCD part time for l l years. He started in 1978 when the campus was spread over the lower downtown area and he was among the first to attend classes at Auraria. In May of 1989, Tressler earned his degree. He worked for Natkin and Co., a nationwide mechanical company, for 20 years as printing manager.

The challenge and adventure of a new life is the pay-back Tressler will receive for leaving his present life behind.

Although the sacrifices are hard to make, he wants the change, and the time is right.

Tressler said, "I drive around the city and it feels different. It 's like I don ' t belong here now. It's time to get on with my life. There is more out there than watering lawns and watching football games. I have had a very fortunate life, and it is time for me to give something back."

SPORTS Northern Colorado knocks MSCD out of Regionals Mike Sallier Sports Reporter After steamrolling through the regular season, the MSCD volleyball team had aspirations of not only going to the Regional Tournament but also making its first appearance in the NCAA National Tournament.

Unfortunately for the Roadrunners, the road to the Nationals was blocked with heartache. The University of Northern Colorado, for the second year in a row, bumped MSCD to an early exit by winning 15-7, 15-3, 10-15, 15-1 l.

"We didn't play very well ," said senior outside hitter Stacy Goldsberry. "It was a tough loss."

In the first game No. 10 nationaly ranked UNC got the early jump on No. 7 MSCD, 6-2, by playing good defense against a tense Roadrunner squad.

"We didn't play like ourselves at all." said coach Rhonda McMullen. "We played tight and nervous."

The closest the Roadrunners came in the first game was 4-8, from there the

Bears took the game over-for a 15-7 win.

The next game was more of the same as the Roadrunners continued to have trouble getting untracked. UNC dominated MSCD at the net with good blocking, and never looked back from an I 1-1 lead en route to a 15-3 victory.

"We've started out tense before," McMullen said. "Usually we can come out of it in the second game, but this time we didn't."

By the third game MSCD began to look like the team that went 28-9 against some of the top teams from around the country.

"We decided we wanted to play in the third game," Goldsberry said.

Chris Austin Staff Writer MSCD students will be able to get credit next semester for spending the weekend skiing.

Pat Johnson, who will be heading the MSCD Ski Deal, said the program will be aimed at all levels of skiers.

"We are going to provide classes from beginning all the way to advanced," Johnson said. The advanced classes will focus on techniques such as powder and mogul skiing, she added.

The fee for the class is $100. This

covers four full day lift tickets and eight 2hour lessons.

"The whole package is going to be about a 50% cut in what a tourist would pay for the same thing,"Johnson said.

There is no restriction on the c lass size, so any student who registers for the class will get in, Johnson said. There will be a mandatory organizational meeting on January 27 in the Events Center from 7-9 p.m. The call number for the class is 5850 and is one credit. Johnson said car pool arrangements will be made at the meeting so students can share rides.

Johnson said there will be no written tests in the class. " It will primarily be activity oriented grading," she said.

This is the first semester in three years that MSCD has offered the course, Johnson said. In the past the class had been held at Keystone, Arapahoe Basin and Eldora.

"We have a very attractive arrangement going with Loveland," Johnson said

The men's basketball team lost a key player for the rest of the season in practice Dec. l. Dan Kennedy , a senior and starting center, severed two tendons in his right hand when we went tip to block a shot by teammate Allen McClain. Kennedy, 6'9", 230 pounds from Holyoke, Colo., injured his hand on the back hinge of the basketball rim and had surgery the same night at St. Anthoney 's Hospital. Last seaso n Kennedy led the Colorado Athletic Conference in rebounding, averaging 7.9 a game.Through five games this season Kennedy was averaging 9.0 rebounds and 8.0 points.

While Coach Bob Hull's team will miss Kennedy they hope to have sophomore guard Myron Simms back next semester. Simms wasn't allowed to play or practice with his team due to inelgibility. The 6' 3" 172 pound Simms graduated from Montbello High School and made 75 of 181 (41.4 percent) three points shot last season to

finish the season sixth overall in three point field goal percentage.

The Athletic Department is beating Santa to the punch by not charging admission to the Dec . 15 game against Western State at the Auraria Events Center. " It's a Christmas present of sorts from all of us in the A th le tic Department," said Assistant Director of Athletics Greg Smith. " We hope students bring their friends, families and whoever else to this game."

High points: Women's basketball senior forward Cindy Daulton poured in a season high 28 points against Lewis and Clark College on the first day of the Chico State Tournament.

Transfer Greg Batman, a junior guard, set the high mark for the men' s basketball team with 28 points Nov. 24 against Bellevue.

Women hoopsters win four road games Mike Robuck Sports Editor

The women's basketball team is half way through a season-opening road odyssey and the Roadrunners have responded with a 4-0 record in their travels.

The 'Runners won the Chico State University Tournament Nov. 20-22 and beat Mesa State before a raucous crowd Nov. 28. The team will play at the Nebraska-Kearny Tournament Dec. 3-5 before finally playing its first home game against the University of Northern Colorado Dec. 11.

"I thought we could win the Chico tournament," said coach Darryl Smith, "but the caliber of teams there was better than I expected."

MSCD won its first game of the season against Lewis and Clark College in the opening round of the tourney, 78-70.

Senior guard Cindy Dalton led the ' Runners with 28 points.

"Lewis and Clark had already won three games when we played them," Smith said. "We were a little surprised to be playing them in the first round because we didn't expect to be paired up with one of the best teams right off."

Next up for the 'Runners was a Chico State team that finished last season ranked fifth in its region and returned its entire starting lineup with ten seniors.

Smith said his team didn't put in a strong overall effort against Chico, but MSCD prevailed, handing Chico its first

loss,79-69. Senior guard and floor leader Cassie Sandoval saw limited playing time because of foul trouble.

The Roadrunners regained their form against¡Westem Washington in the finals with a 59-42 win. Smith said his team was down by a point, 16- 17 at halftime, but

came back to play one of the best second halfs in his two years of coaching at MSCD. "It was a good tournament for us," Smith said. "We beat three quality teams, teams that had done well last season. We glayed real well in the first game, not as

good in the second and then finished strong in the championship game."

Daulton averaged 23 points a game and was named to the all-tourney team as well as nabbing the tourney's MVP award.

Holly Roberts, a senior center, also made the all-tourney team.

MSCD knocked Mesa off, 72-63, in Grand Junction before a crowd that Smith estimated was around 3,000.

"They were 2-0 and to beat them on the road in front of that kind of crowd was a good win for us," Smith said.

Smith had more problems than just crowd noise against Mesa. Two players, starting forward Noelle Braunschweiger and Mary Henry, sat out the game because of the flu . Lisa Schamp came off the bench to score 17 points in relief of Braunshweiger.

"We were losing by two points at the half," Smith said. "But we took the crowd out of the game in the second half. It was a real guts effort at Meia."

Smith said the Roadrunners benefited from the play of Michelle Thomas during the four games.

"She gave us some points and quality defense when she came off the bench," Smith said. "We've also been pleasantly surprised at how well Qiana Price has done. She's the only player in our lineup who didn't start last year and sh e is blending into the team real well."

Daulton leads the team in scoring with an average of 21.5 a game while Sandoval is averaging 13.3. Roberts is pulling down an average of 11.3 boards a game while scoring 10.8 points.

Roadrunner basketball team takes Tur~ey ·Tournament Edward C. Morrow The Metropolitan

The annual Thanksgiving Tournament showed that the MSCD men's basketball team would rather run than walk in winning the tournament at the Auraria Events Center.

The Roadrunners (5-0) showed why they love to run by scoring more points in the first 24 minutes against Baker University, 67, then they did in the first game of the tournament against Christ College Irvine, 66, in the final against Baker University (4-3). The Roadrunners shot 49 percent from the floor while scoring a season high 116 points in winning their fourth straight Thanksgiving Tournament.

The Wildcats were forced to pack everybody in the middle to offset the rebounding advantage MSCD had. This strategy resulted in the Roadrunner guard Greg Balman going 5-5 from three point land and finishing with a game high 23 points.

"I was feeling it," Balman said. "The defeilse was packing it in so I was always open."

The Roadrunners had seven players in double figuces led by forwards Andy Owens with 21 points and 11 rebounds and Marcus Murphy's 20 points off the bench. Owens brought the 500 fans to their feet with a thunderous slam dunk that put an exclamation point to the game and

r There•s i

the tournament.

"We had the inside and outside game going," said MSCD coach Bob Hull. "This win helped our confidence."

In the Roadrunners first game of the tournament they were taken out of their normal offensive flow by the turtle like offense of Christ College-Irvine. The Eagles slowed the tempo of the game by patiently working the ball around and running the 45-second shot clock down each possession.

"It was difficult to get fast breaks," Hull said. "They really worked at slowing the tempo."

The Eagles were led by Brian Hazzlewood and D' Andre Brown with 19 and 17 points respectively.

The Roadrunners thwarted the upset bid by the Eagles on McCoy ' s 17 points and 5 assists and Andy Owens' .J 3 points.

Marcus Murphy contributed 10 points and led the team with 7 rebounds off the bench. Christ College-Irvine bounced back from their disappointing loss to MSCD by winning the consolation game 83-71 over Fort Hayes State. The Eagles were led by All-Tournament se lection D 'Andre Brown's 25 points.

Individual honors for the Roadrunners were earned by senior Calvin McCoy, who was named MVP of the tournament, and All-Tournament selection Andy Owens.

"I wanted to go out with a bang," McCoy said. "I want people to get to know the name of Calvin McCoy."
