Complaints voiced over access to c·omputer labs Katarina Ahlfort Staff Writer

Students in the Computer Graphics Il class at MSCD complained about the Macintosh computer laboratories on campus in a letter addressed to computer management at the end of the fall semester. The 11 art students who signed the letter said they need better access to the computers in the future. Also, they need more time in front of the terminals in order to finish their art works on time for classes, they wrote. John Reed, director of Academic Computer User Services at MSCD, received the letter, in which the students suggested that six computers be desjgnated for use by art students. "This is a management nightmare. Several departments want equal access to this one laboratory," Reed said.' "Not one red cent came from the Art Department to

finance the computer labs. The laboratories are funded by all students, through the Information Technology fee, and should be available for everyone," Reed said. Several meetings have been held, be said, between representatives from both the Computer and the Art Departments, to discuss the letter and reach agreements on what improvements can be made. Susan Josepher, chair of the MSCD Art Department, said the computer shorta~e is a serious problem for the art studen on campus. "We need to double the size of the computer labs. As it is now, we have people sitting out in the hallways, waiting for their tum to use a computer," Josepher said. The five MSCD computer graphics classes offered this semester filled up one day after registration opened, according to Josepher. "Even the wait lists are full. We have

enough student interest to double the amount of classes tomorrow," Josepber said. The complaint stated that high grade equipment was not being used to its potential. For example, students printing papers and doing simple word processing for classes would occupy the Macintosh computers, said Rhona Lloyd, one of the students who signed the letter. The computers, Lloyd said, are crucial to art students who create and print out complicated designs. In the letter, the students asked that six computers be designated to hold "only programs that are beneficial to computer graphics and advertising design." Reed said the Computer Department is commited to keeping all the computers available to any student. "You are not misusing a Macintosh just because you, for example, print out see COMPUTER page 4

Auraria possible relocation site for historic Elitch Gardens~ theater Le Roy A. Standish The Metropolitan

Elitch Gardens' historic 102-year-old theater may move to Auraria, but plans are anything but final. "We've had the conversations," said Jack Hoagland, director of research and development for Elitch's. "It will move there (Auraria) or stay where it is." Early next year the park will begin the process of moving from its northwest Denver sight to just north of Auraria, across Auraria Parkway. John Buechner, chancellor of UCO, is cautiously pursuing the idea. "Is it possible to get the theater? Is it worthwhile? I think the answer to both those is yes," Buechner said. Dean Wolf, vice president for Operations at Auraria, said he knows about the possibility of the theater moving to Auraria. But talk is about the only thing that has transpired on the subject, he said. "It's only in the talking stages," Wolf said. If the theater were to move, it would be at least five to 10 years down the road. Deciding where to put the theater is the next question to address. "That would be entirely up to them

down there," Hoagland said. " Lot-G (located just west of the Stu dent Union), in the long range plan and for some time," Wolf said, "has been cited as a building site at some future date. " N o w whether it will be fine arts or general purpose classrooms, who knows?"

Anonymous vs.\Confidential testing Katarina Ahlfort Staff Writer

Many people are reluctant to have themselves tested for HIV because they fear the results. But worries about the test results becoming public is today an equally strong factor in keeping people 路 away from the test sites. Since HIV testing became available on the Auraria Campus on Valentine's Day last year until November of 1992, 163 students have visited the Student Health Center to get tested for HIV. The HIV tests are made "confidential" at the Student Health Center - not "anonymous." People coming in for a test give their names and addresses to be recorded. ''The-records are highly secure and are kept strictly confidential," said Billi Mavromatis, health educator at the Student Health Center. "But if people have a problem with giving out their name, I tell them where to go," she.said. She refers them to the Anonymous Test Site, a Capitol Hill clinic in Denver, where people tested are identified by number only. According to Jim Smith, counselor at the Anonymous Test Site, there are several reasons behind the surge of clients to the clinic. "Anonymity is not the only concern people have. The fact that the testing here is free is important to many. Others come here because it's the only site they know about," Smith said. Advocates of the anonymous option say it has limited the spread of the disease by diagnosing HIV-positive and high-risk

people who would not take the test without being fully anonymous. However, the anonymous testing procedure bas also complicated the work for the Colorado Department of Health in its attempts to keep track of the disease. "The health department's mission is to keep track of the epidemic and work towards preventing further spread," said Dr. Ken Gershman , manager of HIV Surveillance at the health department. Unless the clinics know the name of a person who has tested positive, it is impossible to find an accurate number of people in the state who are HIV-positive. The reason? People often take more than one test to confirm the result, Gershman said. According to Gershman, another reason why路 confidential tests are preferable is that it is more difficult to follow up partner notification if the HIVpositive person is anonymous. This often makes it impossible for counselors to contact peoples' sexual partners and get them to take the test as well. Gershman described the "anonymity"

versus "confidentiality" as the individual's interest versus the interest of society. "There is a definite conflict between the two," be said. People's fear that the records at clinics are not fully confidential is an unfounded concer~ because there are no reported cases of leaks of information, Gershman said. Judith Schwartz, disease intervention specialist at the Colorado Department of Health, said the number of people getting tested for HIV increased as a result of Earvin "Magic" Johnson's coming forth as being infected with the HIV virus. "However, the number of people who have shown to be HIV-positive has not increas垄 at the same rate," Schwartz said. More people from low-risk groups are now getting tested. Schwartz said many of those tests often are unnecessary. "People need to look at the true picture of the disease in Colorado," Schwartz said. Compared with Florida, New York and California, Colorado bas recorded a relatively low amount of HIV cases. From 1985 until December 31 , 1992, 2343 men and 113 women in Colorado have developed AIDS as a result of HIV infection. S-i nce the beginning of this year, Schwartz said. the Colorado clinics have had a surge of visitors who want to get tested. "After the new year, people want to deal with things they have been putting off," Schwartz said. "It is important for students to remember that they are in more of a risk group for sexually transmitted see TESTING page 9

Coors Foundation donates $15,000 for Cajetan's repairs Chris Austin Staff Writer

•

The face lift of St. Cajetan's will continue thanks to a $15,000 grant from the Adolph Coors Foundation. According to Rosemary Fetter, communications coordinator for AHEC, recent renovations to St. Cajetan 's have included repainting of the 67- year- old church structure and replacement of stained glass windows. Grant money may be used for interior improvements, restoration of entrances, and installations of exterior lighting. The grant was an exception for Coors, according to Carol Strathman , spokeswoman for the Adolph Coors Foundation. "It was the boards understanding that a lot of activities happen around St. Cajetan 's," Strathman said. "Since St. Cajetan ' s is the only auditorium at Auraria, the board made an exception." Strathman explained that the foundation gives approximately 5 million dollars per year to non-profit organizations. The foundation gives general purpose grants, she added. "We're delighted and grateful to receive this grant," said JoAnn Soker, executive vice president for Administration at Auraria. "St. Cajetan's is a beautiful old buildi!lg, and an

important focal point on the campus." St. Cajetan's was built in 1925, and for many years served as the center of the Hispanic community at Auraria. When the campus was built in the early 1970's, the parish built a new church at Alameda and Raleigh, and St. Cajetan 's became an auditorium for the three Auraria schools.

The renovation of the church began after a hail storm on July 11, 1990 damaged the building's exterior and broke out the stained glass windows. St. Cajetan's holds about 400 people, Fetter said. Until the gym was built, the old church was the largest performing arts facility on campus.

Native American receives MSCD's President's Award

Lisa Westenskow-Dayley Staff Writer Native American Thomas G. Wind was bestowed the President's A ward dee. 20 at the Fall gracuation ceremony. Wind, a Muscogee Creek, earned his Bachelor's of Computer Science, maintaining a 3.87 grade point average. So what inspired the 39-year-old married father of two young sons to return to school? " I was a glass worker for 12 years and to tell the truth, the economy slowed down and workers in Taiwan and Korea learned how to work the glass at less cost. The market died down and there just .wasn't enough work to keep me busy all the time," Wind said. "I could see· no resurgence of work coming in the future so I decided to go back to school, earn a better living, help out in the Indian world somehow and support my family." Wind credits his wife, Sharon, and sons, Meske and Micco, with his successes and states that his family was very willing to support him although "they knew it would be a long hard road, and it has been." Active in American Indian activities such as local Pow-Wows, Wind hopes to work within the American Indian community and feels strongly that education is the way for American Indians to help each other in such areas as the law and business. "Everything is so high-tech and so legalistic," Wind said,"to even keep the various nations running you need various expertise." "In years past, American Indians with · no formal education tried to wade through legal documents so they could make a legal commitment with tl)e United States to keep their tribe running.

Seminar on political rhetoric this spring Hero Montilla Staff Writer

•

(

THE METROPOLITAN

1993

"Political Rhetoric" will be taught this spring at MSCD by Gary Holbrook, a P.olitical Science Department professor. The course will be taught seminar style and is "recommended to anyone interested in the political process," Holbrook said. The class will focus on the 1992 presidential campaign and the political rhetoric used by its candidates. "We will discuss critical issues in the campaign," Holbrook said. Holbrook will not be using a textbook in the class. The materials he will be using are articles written by Pauline Kale for The New Yorker magazine. "I consider Pauline Kale to be one of the most gifted writers in political rhetoric," Holbrook said . Holbrook taught this class during the presidential elections of 1984 and 1988. In the previous years, Holbrook hosted noted guests to his classroom such as Eugene McCarthy, a candidate for president in 1968, and Theodore Sorensen, a speech writer for John F. Kennedy. "I have a real interest in it," said Holbrook of the topic of political rhetoric. Holbrook has written articles on political debates for both The Denver Post and the Rocky Mountain News during presidential elections. Political rhetoric refers to the tools of communication the candidate uses when interacting with the public. Candidates manifest images of themselves for the public, also known as "verbal visual imagery," Holbrook said. For example, during the presidential debates last year in Richmond, President Bush was caught looking at his watch. This gave the audience a definite visual impression.

"It created discomfort in the audience as to whether or not he was engaged," Holbrook said. Clinton on the other hand, made a point to make eye contact with the audience and he looked directly into the television cameras. "Clinton projected the sense that you are an audience that I am interested in," Holbrook said. Political rhetoric includes the issues candidates emphasize in their campaigns. "Rhetoric gives audiences a chance to understand the policies of the candidate," Holbrook said . Accoroing to Holbrook, rhetoric influences voters to accept the candidates' understanding of the issues. Citing Kennedy's speech, "Think not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country," Holbrook said the rhetoric format in the 1992 presidential campaign was new. "Rhetoric makes people feel like participants," Holbrook said . For the first time, candidates were featured on talk shows in the same light as other celebrities. Perot, Clinton and Bush were seen on "The Larry King Show." Clinton played the saxophone on the "Arsenio Hall Show ." According to Holbrook, this dynamic changed the campaign, providing more interaction between the candidates and the American public. Holbrook will discuss this as well other aspects . of the presidential campaigns of 1992 in his class. He will discuss recovery strategies used by the Clinton staff after the "Gennifer Flowers incident," as well as why the Bush campaign was a failure. Students will be required to write two papers on specific areas of interest to them from the campaigns, which will give them an opportunity to explore different political arenas.

Mavromatis said several people come to the clinic to get tested every six months to feel comfortable. The key, she .said, often is testing-not trusting.

Beside providing people with their test results, the procedure of HIV tests serves an important role in spreading information about the disease.

Make sure to share the facts you have learned here about the virus with others. "When people are tested, I tell them that 'Now you have all the accurate information. Make sure to share the facts you have learned here about the virus with others,"' Mavromatis said. "The information students get 'here about HIV," she said, "is more accurate

Dean candidates coming to campus Shawn Christopher Cox

Editor in Chief Finalists for the dean of Letters,.Arts and Sciences will be coming to campus for interviews with various faculty, staff and student groups beginning late January, said Jodi Wetzel, chair of the search committee. Sharon Zablotney , associate vice president for Research and dean of the College of Graduate Studies at Mankato State University in Minnesota, will be on campus Jan. 25 and 26. Michael Rowland, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Montevallo in Alabama, will be on campus Feb. l and 2. Spencer McWilliams, vice president

of Academic Affairs and the dean of Warren Wilson College in Swannanoa, N.C., will be on campus Feb. 4 and 5. Wetzel said committees interviewing the candidates include the LAS chairs, the Black Affairs Council and the LAS Dean Student Advisory Board, among several others. There will also be an open forum for students to participate to interview the candidates, she said. Scott Harrison, Psychology Department representative to the LAS Student Advisory Board, said that he was told that the boar~ would get an opportunity to interview all three candidates on campus. The advisory board gives input to the dean on issues concerning students within

the LAS. Provost David Williams will make the final decision of who to hire, Wetzel said, adding that Williams has asked that the names be forward to him unranked. Members on committees will also be asked to list strengths of each candidate to give to Williams, she said. Wetzel said the search committee's work is virtually complete, except for arranging the on-campus interviews. She said that the search committee will have lunch with .the candidates, but that is about it. The new dean is scheduled to begin by July I. Concern has been expressed that the search process may not be fruitful with the prospect of a new president selecting different people for administrative posts.

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

Throw history out the window •

FRANKLY SPEAKING SHAWN CHRISTOPHER Cox

•

. '

Yep, that's right! It is time to throw history out the window. I use to be a firm believer in history. I thought that if people studied that "boring" subject, they could learn from the past and move civilization toward more positive and progressive ends. However, I am becoming more convinced that this world would be a better place without history. It is certainly true that the generations of the late 20th century have not learned an inkling from the past, even the near past. First case in point is Yugoslavia. This country of Serbs, Bosnians, Croats and Muslims has regressed to World War II times. As Lance Morrow in a Dec. 14 Time article wrote, "After the war, Tito and communism merely suppressed the blood hatred." The world is witnessing the grave consequences of the downfall of communism, which will hopefully, painfully move toward a more democratic, civilized society. Today, some people are probably thinking, "Communism was not so bad after all." The tragic results of historical, ethnic hatred are seen in what Morrow calls "fierce motifs." He says the first one is "Revenge and Counterrevenge (Newton's third law:' For every atrocity there must be an equal and opposite atrocity). "A second motif is Complete Denial (We did not do it; they did). Which yields the third theme: Everyone Is a Victim, which means of course that everyone is justified in committing any act. "We-They. We victim; They did it." So, the Balkans are now back to justifying war on an intellectual, cultural, historical and ethnic basis. This is progress? Possibly letting go of ethnic heritage and embracing human heritage is the answer. But how likely is that to happen, especially when mutilation continues with no end or clear goal in sight. The second case is the former USSR and Eastern European countries. The downfall of communism, once responsible for suppressing hatred between different groups, has led to ethnic clashes in Georgia and Azerbaijan among other areas· of conflict. Add the financial difficulties of skyrocketing prices due to the transition to market reforms and prejudice raises its ugly head. Violence is sure to follow with such an economic crisis. But, if people were to work together instead of agains~ each other, more progress could be made. However, it's troubling to see progress being made when the United States government has the opportunity to

invest in the former Soviet Union instead of in nuclear arms, and bellyaches about a few billion dollars being spent on humanitarian reasons. Taking care of problems at home is important, but the opportunity to help transform the world into a more civil and democratic place should not be overlooked. If the United States does not provide as~istance to Russia and the other republics, which includes financial help, it will be more costly to this country and the world in the future in more than economic terms. The third case is Somalia. Logic would lead people to believe that a homogeneous country such as Somalia would have more stability, at least more than other African countries. However, this is not true. Siad Barre, the former Somalia ruler, fled Mogadishu in January 1991 after three years of civil war. Subsequently, the three factions that aligned together to dispose of Barre began fighting each other, creating the sorry state that Somalia is in today. The two leading warlords, General Mohammed Farah Aidid and Ali Mahdi Mohammed, are from the same clan, but different subclans. Starvation, unbelie·vably, has been used as a weapon. This man-made famine is unimaginable in a country with such limited natural resources. This makes no sense. Maybe eradicating all ties to clans and subclans would help unite a people devastated by anarchy produced by power-hungry warlords. The fourth case is the United States. Based on history and precedence, women are not ordained as priests and ministers in certain churches. Progress to a more accepting environment is prohibited from loudmouth conservatives such as Pat Buchanan and his attacks on gays. There are serious moral and financial questions concerning homosexuality that need to b~discussed and debated, but as long as people such as Buchanan are given the mouthpiece to assert their prejudice, the root problems and questions will linger on. Malcolm X is now the subject of consumerism. Many young people are sporting "X" clothing with no contex1 of what Malcolm X stood for or was trying to achieve. If history is going to be used and debated with the revival of Malcolm X, one should hope it goes further than wearing a baseball cap. People may argue that history is progress. If this nation forgets its history, then the Bill of Rights might as well be trashed. No reason to fear this because it is already happening. The United States certainly is not embracing its own history. The First Amendment is being tossed aside to accommodate politically correct speech in the disguise of speech codes and multiculturalism. Progress cannot be made when the First Amendment is looked upon as just another right that it is OK to limit. Diversity and multiculturalism, along with historical progress should be embraced to further humankind but restricting the freedom of some is certainly not the way to go about it. History should be used as a study for progress, not ethnic hatred, and as long as history is documented to restrain the rights of a specific constituency, for example women priests, then progress is unforeseen.

Supporters ·or Amendment2 misunderstand

•

I am constantly amazed at the level of ignorance some people prefer to maintain in their lives. Let's get some FACTS straight right from the start here. Okay? 1. Homosexuality is not a disease and others do not "catch it" si mply by being near a homosexual. 2. Homosexuals are people just like everyone else who just happen to have a different set of ideas on how to live one's life. 3 . Homosexuals are NOT pedophiles, sadomasochists nor prone to any other deviant behavior than any other human being. 4. It is NOT KNOWN yet, by the scientific community or anyone else, whether homosexuality is determined by birth or by social choice. 5. Homosexuals have been persecuted because of who they are in this country since it began and STILL ARE! Supporters of Amendment 2 state that homosexuals should not have "special" rights. They say that homosexuality is a social choice of lifestyle and not similar to the minority status of people of color. They are also criticizing the Colorado government for working against the "people's vote " for Amendment 2. Laws protecting homosexuals do not grant "special rights" to anyone, but simply ensure that the basic rights of all citizens in this country are guaranteed. Something every government should strive for, regardless of what the "people" may believe in their own ignorance. What? You say the Constitution already_ does that for gays and lesbians? Really?! Just as it did at one time for African-Americans, illiterates and women? Laws that are designed to protect a persecuted people are not just for minorities born of a different color or sex. Such laws are also to protect people who have made different choices for their own lives that harm no one. It is true that gays and lesbians should not be compared to minorities. Instead we should be comparing them to others who have been persecuted for the way they lived their lives: Jews, Christians, Americans, etc. Think about it. Then work to get this ridiculous Amendment repealed .

Being pro-choice is concern for others, Minister says Since Matt McGuiness of Students for Life took issue with niy statement, "There is not necessarily a contradiction between being pro-life and pro-choice," I would like the opportunity to respond. Unlike Matt, however, I will not presume to represent someone else's position; I will let his own words speak for themselves. Let me preface my remarks by stating that I know and respect.Matt, and intend no disrespect here. We simply have an honest difference of opinions. In the first place, Matt states that "pro-choice=pro-abortion." I certainly do not consider myself to be proabortion. I am deeply concerned about the ·number of abortions performed in the United States, as well as the spiritual health of any society in which abortion would·be considered no more than one among many forms of birth control. However, I do consider myself to be pro-choice, as I do not believe that blanket legal prohibitions against abortion· are. the best way to address the issues which underlie my concern. (This view also happens to be the official position adopted by the

Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, by whom I am employed.) That does not make me "pro-abortion." In the same way, I am deeply concerned about the enormous costs and terrible social and spiritual effects, as well as untold deaths, that alcohol abuse causes in this country; however, I do not' believe that prohibition of alcohol is the answer to these problems, either. I am prochoice regarding the ~e (or abuse) of alcohol. That does not make me proalcohol abuse. I simply believe there are other, more compassionate and effective ways to address the problem of alcohol abuse than prohibition, which did not work when it was tried. Also, Matt states that "to be prochoice (means) to support the 'right' of women to terminate their pregnancy at any time, for any reason." But current law in the United States, established by Roe vs. Wade, does not grant a woman the right to terminate a pregnancy at any time, for any reason. The justices and legislators who made the law, and people who support it, may be "pro-choice" without supporting unlimited abortion rights.

''Hispanic'' and

~'Chicano''

The Sept. 18 issue of The Metropolitan presented a photo of Chicano students participating in a march through the campus on Mexican Independence Day Sept. 16. Nearly 500 high school and college students gathered to celebrate their heritage and at the same time protest the racism and discrimination that exists in the educational system - kindergarten through college - which still causes Chicanos and Latinos to drop out of school at a rate of more than 50 percent and under-prepares them for college. . The Metropolitan caption mistakenly referred to them as "Hispanic" students. MEChA is a "Chicano and Mexican" student organization . Sept. 16 celebrates Mexico's independence from Spain, not its dependence. The only things that Spaniards left with the Mexicans were misery, brutality, children as a result of rape, their language and names. Chicanos, Mexicans and other people of Latin

Further, unless Matt wishes to propose that abortion be prohibited in all circumstances, including rape, incest and a clear threat to the life of the mother, then, by his own argument , he cannot be pro-life, either. If he does not wish to propose such a blanket prohibition, then we do not disagree as to whether abortion should legally be permitted, but only (perhaps) in what cases and under what circumstances it should be permitted (or prohibited) . In the second place, Matt states that "prolife=anti-abortion." In this brief phrase he has illustrated succinctly my objection to the use of the title "prolife" by some persons or groups which I would characterize as being just "probirth" rather than really pro-life. My concern about many such groups (although there are exceptions, and I am open to being shown that Students for Life is among them) is that their concern for the "right to life" seems to be limited to the unborn. Is being "antiabortion" really all there is to being pro-life? What about the contradictions between life and death with regards to the death penalty, war and

euthanasia? Are Matt and the Students for Life just as zealous in their unqualified defense of the "right to life" in these circumstances, and just as opposed to the ending of life under any circumstances? If not, then they cannot, by their own criterion ("death contradicts life"), lay claim to the pro-life position. To be perfectly honest, I am more concerned about the quality of life, the provision for the basic needs of adequate food, clothing, education, health care, a humane environment free from violence and prejudice and the genuine opportunity to develop and fulfill one's human potential for those who are born , and for the women who bear them. Indeed, I contend that attending to these needs and concerns, along with appropriate education in sexuality and the responsibility of parenting, may well be the most effective means available to us for reduc ing the number of abortions, which is a goal that Matt and I can agree on.

America are indigenous people who were conquered, oppressed and exploited by Spain. They spoke different languages, maintained high degrees of civilization, technology, scienc~. art and culture, until they were all destroyed by Spain. Everyone was forced, through brutality, to adopt the Spanish language and aspects of the culture. That is all we have in common with Spain, nothing more. The term "Hispanic" is an Anglicized form of "Hispano," which literally means someone who is of Spanish origin . Even the Spaniards , in their complicated and racist caste system, didn't call us Hispanos. They called us "Mestizos," which literally means half-breed Indian and Spanish. Calling us Hispanic is like expecting. us to celebrate the brutality, rape and massacres (or more than 25 million of our ancestors) that the Spaniards inflicted upon us. We call ourselves Chicanqs and Mexicans because those words are rooted in Aztec

and other indigenous languages. Don't call us Hispan ics. People of Mexican descent are Chicanos and Mexicans. People from .El Salvador are Salvadoreans, from Chile are Chileans, from Puerto Rico are Puerto Ricans. We are similar in some ways, but we all have distinct, unique and proud traditions. We proud ly declare that we come from civilizations that have been he(e since the beginning of time instead of accepting the imposition of ignorant and national chauvinist labels wh ich suggest that our existence began with the conquests. It is important to challenge the anthropological and historical doctrines which have served to ju$tify the history of genocide and enslavement of our people by Europe.

American Dream" of xample of how one

.. LEAP OF FAITH- The satirical humor is very timely in this new effort by Steve Martin, who plays the Reverend Jonas Nightengale, a traveling televangalist whose entourage breaks down in anytown USA (Rustwater KA). With..aa honest look at middle America; unemployment, layoffs, kids riding hicycles at dusk, pick-up trucks and where to tum.for~e hope, is the-theme of eey..realistic look why people want to believe, in anything. Debra Winger is Jane, Nightengale's very sharp money manager who gets sidetracked from the path of deceit and on to the road of morality by a small town sheriff and big non-believer. Martin adds a lighthearted touch to this rather unfortunate real-life situation. The supporting cast of this film gives it their all, singing, dancing and a few miracles for sale. After all, you bought a ticket. HOME ALONE 2: LOST IN NEW YORK- Speaking of sequels, this is another one of the many on a long list of don'twaste-your-time-or-money flicks. Macaulay Culkin is just as cute as in #1, and the bad guys are just as bungling and unbelievably stupid. Comedy? Oh, I thought this was a war movie, with its continuous reruns of umealistic "fun" a child can have (while lost in a city that chews up and spits out even the toughest of the tough.) What is more tragic than the disturbed message we send out to the youth of today regarding violence is the real-life version of HOME ALONE that happened this holiday season. There is nothing more to say.

ToYS- What a perfect time to bring out this fantasy, modem-day film that goes along the lines of Willie Wonk a and the Chocolate Factory, only with a kid's favorite thing- second to chocolate... TOYS. This whimsical tale is more that the antiwar film it's made out to be. Robin Williams, once again, gives us his never-ending gift of comedy extraordinaire, playing a son who is trying to save...his father's toy factory.from his violence-crazed uncle. Sound familiar? (Perhaps Uncle Sam's quest to be the winner in the arms race?) The underlying dark messages of war and the lightness of peace are ever present in this movie, giving the time-honored message of "laughter heals all", a run for its money. It is a film for the child in all of us, young and old. ALADDIN- Ending on a lighthearted note, this is agam creative genius in action. Disney does it every time.The animation, story, music and voice-over cast are superb. The addition of Robin Williams monologue as the Genie is hilarious and makes this movie worth the while for all to see. So take that magic carpet ride to the movies, enjoy!

Men's basketball team loses point guard ' -·

Edward C. Morrow The Metropolitan

Calvin McCoy, a senior point guard for MSCD, accomplished his goal of leaving MSCD with a bang. The problem is the bang is more of a boom to the men's basketball hopes for 1993. McCoy was sent home, after a 69-57 loss to Hawaii-Hilo, for drinking alcohol in his hotel room, a violation of team rules. This is not what McCoy had in mind when he said, "I want to go out with a bang," after winning the MVP award in the Thanksgiving Tournament. This violation has- been a recurring one for McCoy, according to MSCD coach Bob Hull. "It's an unfortunate thing," Hull said. "But he was suspended for the same thing last year." In both instances, McCoy was suspended from the next game by Hull. In last year's incident, McCoy was caught drinking in his hotel room, after the loss to Central Missouri, Dec. 9, and was suspended for the Dec. 13 Eastern Montana game. In this year's incident, McCoy admitted to Hull that he violated team rules. McCoy was suspended for the next game against Chaminade, and sent home, because it was the last game in Hawaii. When Hull returned from the Hawaii trip, he was informed that McCoy had quit the team, giving no explanation to Hull or the team.

Morgan Kel-fThe Metropolitan n

calvln McCoy, left, quit the men's basketball team after being suspended for one game for violating the team's alcohol policy In Hawaii. This was McCoy's second violation of the rule.

McCoy's last game was a superior individual performance. The tough point guard led the team with 16 points, 5 assists, and 7· rebounds in a losing effort.

The Roadrunners must find a way not only to replace the 16.3 points-peT game and the 6.3 assists they lost when McCoy quifthe team, but also his leadership.

The Roadrunners started the season with three seniors. Dan Kennedy was the first to go down with a lace.ration on his right hand, costing him the season. The second was McCoy. Now, the leadership role is placed in the lap of lone senior Ken Turner. " I will try and lead by example, .. Turner said. "If they see me playing hard, they will respond by playing hard themselves." While Turner has no problem picking up the role of leadership, he feels McCoy hurt the team. "He definitel y let the team down," Turner said. ''Any time something like that happens; it takes away from the team." While Turner feels McCoy let the team down, junior forward Marcus Murphy feels the blame should fall on the team. "We kind of let him down," Murphy said. "We should have seen the problem and the team as a whole look out for Calvin." Without McCoy, the point guard duties go to freshman Jeff Eck. "I just have to protect the ball," Eck said. "Make no mistakes and play hard." With the conference opener Saturday against Denver University the expectations of the team has not changed, despite the loss of McCoy. "We've got a team capable of winning the conference," Hull said. With McCoy out as the point guard, the new point guard sums up the team's feelings. "We have to shake it off and go without him," Eck said.

''WITH CLAllEI AID A PART·TIME JOI I DESERVE A PAID VACATION~''

''.And UPS agrees. That's one of the reasons I work there. But they do a lot more than pay me to take time ott. I mak almost $10,000 a year working part-tim for about 4 hours a day.

Sporting Life will cover sports and events that are outside of the traditional athletics offered by MSCD. Scott Reetz, the Intramural Coordinator at Auraria, has a full and varied menu for s pring semester. The following events are available to all Auraria students. The Shick Super Hoops tournament will take place in the Auraria gym Feb.18. It's a national three-on-three basketball competition for the Rocky Mountain Region. The winning te.am will advance to UNC where another tourney will determine the best two teams. These two teams will square off during halftime of a Nuggets game to determine the regional winner. Gym bags and T-shirts will be awarded to the top teams at Auraria. There is a $5 dollar forfeit fee upon registration that will be returned if your team shows up for every scheduled game. The last day to register is Feb. 12. In conjunction with the tournament, the Intramural Department will sponsor a 3-point shooting contest. To shoot the treys students need to pay a buck and sign up by Feb. 17.

The Noon Hour Challenge is a more informal affair that also starts in February. Teams of three will play basketball from noon to 1 p.m. with the winners keeping the court. A team that holds the court for three consecutive victories will win Tshirts. There is no cost or registration fees for the Noon Challenge. Just show up and be "AWESOME, BABEEE!" All of the above can be good practice for the men's and women's recreational league that starts March I. For the first time players not enrolled at Auraria can participate. The cost for students is $ I 0, non-students will pay $30. The league will be played on Tuesday and Thursday nights from March 2 to May 13 with registration open until Feb 26. Peel some of your old high school buddies off their couches and relive those glory days. If pounding the hardwood basketball court is not your thing, you can pound some boards at Celebrity Sports Center in a Wednesday night Singles Bowling League. The cost is $25 per person and the league begins Feb. 9 and runs for 11 weeks. Students have until Feb. 3 to sign up for racquetball and squash intramurals. The cost is only $2, and being too busy to play won't be a valid excuse because the matches are scheduled by the players. Both sports will pair players of equal · abilities and are open to all levels of play. To register for these activities, drop by room 108 in the Auraria Events Building.or call 556-3647 for more information.

'Runners couldn't hit shots in first half HOOPSTERS, from page 24

weren't getting good shots." The 'Runners rebounded. in the second half to out score the Utes 35-28 and were up by four points, 52-48, with 2:40 left in the game. The lead lasted until the 1:26 mark when Utah's Kim Hill tied the game with a 10-foot jump shpt. Hill hit two more shots to close out the win for Utah. Holly Roberts and senior guard Cassie Sandoval led the Roadrunners in scoring with 11 points each. Roberts also had 14 rebounds. "Cassie did a great job running the team and handling their defensive pressure," Smith said. "Michelle Thomas

hit three 3-pointers to get us back in the game in the second half." Utah has been to the NCAA Tournament four out of the last six years, but there was no talk of a "moral victory" from Smith. "It was disappointing because we made the effort and had the opportunity to win," Smith said. "You can learn from both winning and losing. They know now the level of intensity it'll take to win league." MSCD is currently ranked No. 4 in the North Central Region. For the first time in the program's history, the Roadrunners received votes in the NCAA'a Division II top 25 poll.

METRO CONNECTIONS Dear Metro Connections Readers: Welcome back to school and to a new year! The beginning of a year is a time for evaluation and the adjustment of old assumptions and rules! With the competition getting more and more fierce for good grades and jobs, it's no longer enough just to show up for class, do only the required work, graduate, and get your dream job. Cynthia Hanson of the Chicago Tribune claims that we must challenge ourselves to identify how we can get ahead in new ways, ways our parents and teachers never considered. Here are some old rules and some new suggestions for success: OLDRULE#l: No news is good news.

NEWRULE#l: Ask for feedback on everything. The idea here is that you can get more out of school than just what you learn in class and from assignments. ASK HOW YOU'RE DOING from time to time. Don't wait until you get that big paper back to evaluate what you're learning and how you're doing. Seek out your instructor and talk to him or her. Take an interest in the material of your courses. You'll learn from the process and from what your professors have to say. And after all, you're paying for an education. Why not get your money's worth? OLDRULE#2: Accept the status quo. NEWRULE#2: Welcome change. The one thing that is certain in the '90s is that change is inevitable. It's no longer enough to just do what's been done in the past. College is the perfect place to get used to the idea of constant change and to learn to look for it. Think of new and creative ways to complete an assignment and talk it over with your professor. Anticipate your ideal job and what changes you'll need to make to get there. If you're in business, for instance, you may anticipate changes in the business climate by learning a foreign language like Spanish or Russian.

STARTING RATE

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

NEWRULE#3: Focus on the long run and look at the big picture.

369-6370

In the world of work, if you concentrate on the details of your job, you run the risk of losing sight of your career. In school, your goal is knowledge and not just an A on that next paper or test. Think about what you want from the class and from your whole school experience. Remember: don't miss the forest for the trees! 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'll get back to you.
