Addictions: Part路3 Katerina Ahlfort Staff Writer

Bars on campus and the surrounding downtown area are frequently announcing " happy hours," inviting students to visit between classes.

This is unfortunate because problems . with alcohol are a reality at Auraria, according to Don Sugar, Ph.D, the program coordinator for the Substance Abuse Prevention Program at MSCD. Currently , there is an ongoing controversy surrounding the bars located in the Tivoli, Sugar said, because the building is in the process of being transformed into a student center. . ~In an MSCD survey conducted by the prevention program at the end of last semester, 71 percent of MSCD students under the age of 2 f reported that they drink alcohol on a regular basis.

Thirty-eight percent of the students surveyed said they "binge," which means they had five or more drinks in one sitting in the past two weeks. And 81 percent of the students reported that they had used alcohol in the past month.

Sugar said his main concern with having Dominic Chavez!The Metropolltan

Physical problems plague parking garage Jenny Duke The Metropolitan

Maintenance to repair drainage problems in the Auraria parking garage could take more than a month to complete, and structural settling is expected to continue, said Mark Gallagher, Auraria's parking director.

Chunks of concrete scatter the parking garage floor around and underneath parked cars. Sunlight from tl).e fourth level can be seen through an opening in the ceiling that runs the entire length of row D on the third level. Caution ropes block off most of row D on the fourth level.

"The expansion joints are being cleaned and reset to try and help drainage problems," Gallagher said.

Expansion joints are essential to any

building the size of the parking garage.

"Every physical substance expands and comracts. To control that, you fill the joints with a rubber material," said John Lovshin, .d irector of design and capital construction for Auraria' s facilities management.

Lovshin said without these joints the building could actually stretch.

"The building is 600 feet long, and over the course of time it could stretch four, five or six inches," he said.

The rubber material in the joints was not 's et correctly the first time and now 'bas to be reset. The debris on the floor of the garage is left from workers cleaning the joints over the weekend, Gallagher said.

"It will take a month and a half to complete. We will work about 30 spaces at a time," Gallagher said.

Problems with falling concrete in the $9 million two-year-old, building has pestered parkers in the garage.

MSCD student Dorthea Adams returned to her car Nov. 11 to find three small pieces of concrete on the hood of her car.

The falling debris resulted in two small scratches and one small dent , according to an Auraria Public Safety incident report.

State Senate proposes tuition control Bruce says Amendment 1 tightens reigns on higher education administration Chris Austin

MSCD's

Staff Writer

A bill that would give legislators power to control tuition increases and transfer credit evaluations is being debated by the Colorado ·Senate Education Committee.

Senate Bill 136, which was introduced on Jan. 21 and went to its second committee hearing on Jan. 29, deals with Amendment 1 and its restrictions on higher education spending.

Amendment l limits the amount of revenue the state can take in. Because tuition at state-funded colleges and universities is classified as state revenue, the amendment requires that the state have control over tuition levels.

Douglas Bruce, the author of Amendment 1, said that under the amendment, tujtion could not be raised

more than 6.5 percent, a figure based on population growth and inflation, over one year. He added that the state also cannot raise· the amount of funding it gives to higher education by more than 6.5 percent in a year without taking money away from other state funded programs. Because Bruce authored the amendment referendum, he has significant say as to what exactly the amendment means under the Legislative Intent law, upheld in 1944 by the Colorado Supreme Court.

David Longanecker, executive director of the Colorado Commission on Higher Education, said the bill should not immediately cause problems with higher education funding but could create havoc down the road.

"We really do not know what effect this is going to have," Longanecker said.

"If we get a 6.5 percent increase this year, we should.be·able to serve the number of

students we currently have enrolled. If some of our money gets taken away to budget the K-12 deficit, we could have some problems."

For years, legislators have been raising taxes under the guise of education, Bruce told The Metropolitan in a telephone interview. , " If colleges are so short on money, they can tell Judith Albino (University of Colorado's president) to sell her Cadillac, sell her mansion and give up her $30,000 party budget" Longanecker responded to Bruce's comments, saying that Bruce has no idea what it takes to fund higher education.

"Douglas Bruce thinks he knows a lot about things he has absolutely no idea on," Longanecker said. " Lowering administrative salaries would save you see SENATE, page 10

Students bemoan loss of transfer credits Lisa Westenskow-Dayley Staff Writer

Many students transferring to MSCD find the process both difficult and time consuming, reports a recent survey conducted by a public relations class.

Of the 216 anonymous students surveyed, 30 said that MSCD had been helpful to their graduation plan.

Comments from the survey, a final project for Mary Holloran' s fall semester Fundamentals of Public Relations class, ranged from "My transcript evaluation disallowed such basic classes as fundamentals of speech. An effort to extract additional tuition" to "Everyone

seems to know what is going on or what should happen except admissions and records."

"We do try to accept as many credits as possible," said· Linda Holland, MSCD's Transfer Articulation Coordinator.

In an independent survey conducted

by The Metropolitan, transfer students disputed the school's policy.

Jennifer Ellard, a Florida State transfer found two years of her life gone after receiving her transfer evaluation.

"I was horrified," said Ellard, who went from junior status at Florida State to sophomore status at MSCD and found herself having to retake some freshman courses such as English 102.

"They accepted some but not that many," Ellard said.

Met accused of bias

President of student government brings

allegations before publications board Craig Stephens The Metropolitan

•

In a speech to the MSCD Board of Publications, student government President Tom Mestnik accused The Metropolitan Editor in Chief Shawn Christopher Cox of what he called "antiMestnik bias" in the school's newspaper.

Mestnik said he knew why the bias was occurring.

"Because I am president of student government and a..member of an MSCD club called the Democratic Socialists of America," Mestnik said.

Mestnik said the newspaper shows its bias toward him in three different forms: the newspaper has a blackout on almost all student government activities and achievements; any coverage that student government has received has been negative; and that the editorial policy of The Metropolitan is to disregard editorials that are friendly and supportive of student government in favor of editorials that are hostile toward Mestnik and those working with him.

Mestnik ' s speech, read from a pre-written five-page report, cited dates and page numbers in which The Metropolitan had allegedly presented a bias toward him. Copies of the report were distributed to 1 members of the board.

Mestnik talked about many examples in which the newspaper failed to cover some of his events.

One example he chose was the Oct. 9 event that student government held called "F-- Columbus Day Rock and Roll Benefit."

"While this event was one of the • most controversial of the year The Metropolitan failed to cover it, though Shawn did see fit to print several editorials denouncing the J - RllleyfThe Metropolitan show," Mestnik said.

Working beside Mestnik as his vice president, she did not have problems with his politics, Garcia said.

"I honestly believe in the original idea of socialism," she said. " But I don't believe it's possible for people who, like Tom, are not oppressed, to fight for the oppressed. That often becomes hypocritical." · Garcia said that if the fight for a cause is based merely on empathy, the "drive" within the person is not strong enough to

·I ·Office of financial aid under new direction The Difference Between Hero Montilla Staff Writer

MSCD President Thomas Brewer transferred the financial aid department from student affairs to the Office of Administration and Finance with hopes of streamlining operations.

"We were too much for student affairs," said Cheryl Judson, assistant vice president for financial aid.

The financial aid office distributes almost $30 million to students each year.

Judson will work under Joseph Arcese, the vice president for administration and finance. Arcese reports directly to Brewer.

"Financial aid should be under a vice president so concerns can be brought to the president's attebtion immediately," Arcese said.

The MSCD office of student accounts and cashiering and the information technology department are also directed by administration and finance. Financial aid works with these departments, Judson said.

Interaction between the departments may become easier now that they are all under the same direction.

"I am hoping it will be easier to get automation," Judson said. " Maybe we can move up higher on the priorities."

Arcese said the move should better help students through the financial aid process. " I would hope that maybe we can work out some synergies to help students," he said. "We can work closely . together."

Financial aid was previously under the direct guidance of Provost and Vice President of Academic Affairs, David Williams.

In a memo sent out on Jan. 21, Brewer said the transfer will allow Williams to devote his time to other areas that depend on his leadership.

Judson said financial aid did not have a problem with student affairs. Rather, the office is used to change.

"Joe will be the fifth or sixth person we've had in 8 years. Its another change.

Anyone in financial aid needs to like change." She said.

Library security system working too well Sharon Fipps The Metropolitan

The new security system installed at the Auraria Library last :;;emester still has many bugs to be worked out.

The system, called the 3M TattleTape Library Security System, replaces an old system installed in the late 1970s.

However, this new system is too sensitive, said Shirley Marecak, an administrative services staff assistant.

Some large three-ring binder notebooks, video tapes brought into the library from outside sources, Denver Public Library books not previously desensitized and even something as innocent as an arm brace set the alarm off, Marecak said.

At the heart of the security system is a thin metallic detection strip with detection panels placed near the entrances and exits.

Every book and non-print media piece in the library is fitted with a detection strip or similar device, Marecak ~aid.

This strip is turned off at checkout allowing passage through the security system. The panels electronically search exiting patrons to ensure they don't have "hot strips."

"The security system interrogates

everyone who comes into and leaves the building," Marecak said. "The problem the circulation desk has now is that it's working too well."

However, Marecak said the old system used to make a lot more mistakes.

"This one is a lot smarter," she said.

The old system cost the library about $10,000. Marecak said the new system cost about $17 ,000. The Friends of Auraria Library, a group dedicated to helping the library fund special projects, contributed $4,000 for the new security system. The remainder came from the ¡ library budget, Marecak said.

The library houses more than 700,000 books, thousands of pieces of non-print media and special collections. These collections include letters from famous people and rare, old books.

Marecak said that keeping track of and inventorying all the library materials . is a labor-intensive job.

"We do a physical inventory each December during Christmas break," Marecak said. "The computer may say a book is in, but when we do a shelf reading, we may not be able to find it. That's when we know it's missing."

Ross Thrasher, coordinatol" for bibliographic services, said the number of

-

books currently missin is unknown.

"We don't have any baseline data yet," Thrasher said. "This semester we 're going to sample some of the heavily used areas to see exactly what is missing."

Students should be aware of the new system's ultra sensitivity.

Many more things than a book can and probably will continue to set the alarm off, Marecak said.

Marecak asks , students to be patient with the new system until they get the bugs worked out.

"We're not Morg8ll Ke!Mr / The Metropolllan trying to be Big The Aurarla Llbray has Installed a new security system that will Brother," she said. protect the library from losing books. So far, the system Is working well with only a few bugs to be worked out.

Police Briefs-------Food theft On Jan. 9, Harold Gewuerz reported to police that his food cart on the 10th Street Mall had been broken into .

According to the report, access to the cart was gained by cutting through the canvas roof, causing $500 damage.

Tak.en from the cart were 200 cans of soda, two 60 pound boxes of hot dogs, some boxes of candy bars and restaurant equipment, police said. The value of the stolen items is estimated at $460 dollars, police said.

Mercury spill On Jan. 15, a CCD employee moved a piece of equipment that leaked mercury in South Classroom building Rooms 243, 301 and 243, according to police. Police said all areas were evacuated on the advice of the Denver Fire Department.

Police said the mercury was spilled between 9:10 and 9:24 a.m. and clean up began at 11 :20 a.m.

Nose bitten On Jan. 21, Amber Bueno reported to police that her fiance, Jamie Atancio, got into a fight at Club Infinity at the

Tivoli building. Bueno told police that when she tried to break up the fight, Atancio bit her on the tip of her nose.

Police reported that Bueno had a bleeding scrape on her nose.

On Jan. 18, Auraria Police Officer Daugherty responded to a report of a man causing a disturbance in the Tivoli food court, according to the police report. Daugherty reported that when he entered the Tivoli, he spotted the suspect shouting at a female. The suspect spotted Daugherty, ran at him and knocked him into a plate glass window, according to the report.

Daugherty reported that he told the suspect that he was under arrest and attempted to bring him under control with a wrist lock. The suspect continued to struggle, pushing Daugherty around the lobby, the report said.Officer William Walker assisted Daugherty in restraining the suspect, who was taken to Denver Municipal Jail, according to the report. Daugherty reported that he suffered no injury, nor did Walker or the suspect.

encounters legal opposition

..

'

The Metropolitan Of the 19 administrative proposals reviewed by MSCD President Thomas Brewer on the Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Task Force agenda, four were halted by legal issues. Only nine became sure things.

The task force formed last July to he.Ip create "a more hospitable environment and positive learning climate for gay, lesbian and bisexual students and employees of the college," as their proposal states. The 35-member force is made up of administrators , staff and students.

The legal issues, handed over to Chris Citron, associate director of legal affairs, include: campus policy on student clubs and proposed removal of clubs religious or otherwise - that do not admit gays; the inclusion of "partner" where "spouse" or "husband" or "wife" appear on employee health and medical benefits; the inclusion of "partner" on any other form where "spouse" or "husband" or "wife" appear; and the removal of the ROTC program from campus, the issue of which now has national attention with President Clinton's proposal to admit gays into the military. · Thus far, Auraria's ROTC has heard no word from Washington, and everything is status quo.

"It doesn't really change things here," said Capt Michael R. Brown, of campus ROTC. "Gays and lesbians can still join.

"When the Army starts commissioning them as officers, we will too."

Though there are legalities to be challenged - all on state and federal levels - Brewer gave the go-ahead on an advisory committee that would oversee some of the work the task force has created through a few of their proposals according to a summary of the meeting.

The committee approval has opened a

temporary job for a part-time coordinator who will set things in motion, said Yolanda Ericksen, assistant dean of student life. The position is hoped to be filled quickly so that work may begin by Feb. 15, she said.

Other proposals that were not approved or locked in legal limbo were already available or existent and easily integrated into the existing system, or needed further research~ These proposals include scanning campus literature for homophobic discrimination, inclusion of gay issues in existing literature, and counseling and gay support groups on campus.

Additional proposals to loosen the climate on campus and integrate gay acceptance include supporting gay and lesbian staff and administrators; hiring and promoting "out" gays and lesbians - with the understanding that MSCD could not establish hiring criteria, nor request the information of applicants, Brewer acknowledged in the meeting; supporting, promoting and attending gay events and programs as appropriate; the forming of "Auraria Lambda" - a gay interest group - which has been passed down to JoAnn Soker, executive vice president for Administration; and issuing a policy statement on classroom climate and the need to incorporate positive attitudes toward diversity in the classroom.

While there is a need for diversity, it does not seem the task force will meet with any heavy opposition from campus.

No hate crimes - . or investigations leading to hate crimes - were reported here on campus in last year's report, nor have there been any reported in a while, said Jim Ferguson, director of community services .

"It's something we ' re concerned about," Ferguson said. "But we have a 'together' group of people here on campus.

"We're all pretty happy about that."

Long wait list still there for Auraria child care ---

Jesse Stephenson The Metropolitan Stahding in line at the cashiering office or bookstore might seem like a long wait. Yet for students who are waiting to use the Auraria child care facilities, waiting an hour probably seems trivial.

Students who put their children on the wait list at the center can expect to wait at least two years for an opening, said Debbie Jump, the director of the ~uraria Child Care Center.

In conjunction with construction giant Hensel Phelps, the School of Business at MSCD is creating a new program geared toward small businesses run by minorities and women that have acquired contracts at Denver's new airport.

According to Ronald M. Knights, director of the African-American Leadership Institute, the program's function will be to help these contractors learn and use new business skills, which in turn, will enable them to thrive in such a competitive arena.

"We're trying to help people who will

need $10,000 to $15,000 to get started, "which we consider to be a very small fee."

In addition, the 18 to 20 companies eligible for the program will' pay the college a fee for participating in workshops over a period of four or five months.

According to Knights, the focus of the workshops will be to help the participants develop busine.ss plans and techniques specific to their industry, and to help them develop network relationships. " What happens many times is that when the job is done they're back where they were," Knights said.

METRO CONNECTIONS Dear Metro Connections, I am a good student, and I like my classes. My problem is this: I have a class this semester where a part of our grade is based on how much we participate in class discussions, and I do not feel that I can talk in class. I am not dumb, and my teachers say that I express myself well in papers.

But when it comes to talking out loud in front of a bunch of people, I can't do it. All of the thoughts I have in my head just go right away._ My heart starts beating fast. Then I think over and over that what I have to say is stupid anyway. I try to force myself to speak up, because I know I have to. By the time I open mr mouth to say something, it s too late. The discussion has already moved past what I wanted to say onto something else. Then I really feel sill! thinking about what a fool I would have made of myself. All of this just seems to make it even harder the next time. It's so bad I've considered dropping the class, but it's one I have to have.

What do I do?

What it is related to are selfdefeating thought patterns such as those below: •All-or-nothing thinking. This is the expectation that we should be perfect all the time or we're a total failure. Usually, however, everyone has some areas where they feel successful and some where they don't feel competent.

•Uncritical acceptance of emotions as truth. This is the assumption that because we feel inadequate inside that we look inadequate on the outside.

•Overemphasis on "should" statements. Here is the assumption that you should b e competent at ·a n unfamiliar skill without any practice. This is unrealistic. You didn't get to b e a good writer by just picking up a pen and getting all A's. It took practice. This will too.

Make your practice count, however, by taking steps to help your efforts come out as well as possible.

•J ot down your ideas brieflz before you speak. Then you wont fear losing your train of thought.

•Emphasize your strengths. Give yourself credit for your practicing and feel confident in what you do know instead of concentrating on how you're saying it.

Structural settling causing parking garage to fall ~par~ GARAGE from page 1 a hand did fall, and that was due to structural settling," Gallagher said.

There are T-shaped concrete blocks in the ceiling of the garage that are about 10 feet wide, Lovshin said. There is about two inches of space between where two T's meet. Small pieces of metal are used with concrete in these spaces to keep the beams stable, he said.

When the metal is welded within the concrete, the high temperatures can cause cracks in the cement. During the freezing and thawing of Colorado's weather, and

with cars driving through the building, a six inch long, half-inch thick piece worked its way out, he said.

"I wasn't surprised, but it does not affect the structural integrity of the building," Lovshin said.

As soon as the first few weeks of classes are over, maintenance will pick up in the parking garage. Gallagher said that until then, it is strfotly a maintenance problem and it is definitely safe to park in the parking garage.

"The building is just working out its own little bugs," Lovshin said.

education in the United States where the course work is comparable to MSCD. "English 101 is not the same at every institution despite the same prefix number," Holland said, explaining that whenever MSCD receives a transcript her staff looks up the course prefix number in that college's catalog and compares it to MSCD's requirements.

"Every institution has certain rules in terms of general education and other degree requirements and Eriglish ig a ~vw example," Holland said. "In our English department, it is very important that our students learn certain expository and research skills and we look to see if those requirements have been met."

Holland said her staff sends the transfer evaluations to each department where the final decision is made.

"They can often give the student a reason why the course wasn't accepted," Holland said. "It may not accomplish what Metro requires.

"We award the degree and, therefore, we're responsible for the content."

Transfer students who want their transcript re-evaluated can appeal the report by going to each individual department. A copy of the previous school's course work and the student's grades must accompany the request.

Information on every college and university in the country are available for copying in the microfilm section of the library.

Kim Yochum, a Junior Broadcasting major from Castle Rock, transferred from Mesa State and found herself shorted 15 credits when she transferred to MSCD. "I was ticked," Yochum said after she received her eval uation . Yochum, however, took a copy of each course content and her grades from Mesa State to every department chair. Yochum was lucky as she found the departments "pretty good about accepting my credits," and said that while the hassle was worth it, the amount of time it took to rectify the situation left her weary and resentful.

"I work full time and go to school. I just don ' t have the time to go to each department," she said. "It's a shame to do that to students. Money is the issue."

Money is a definite factor for transfer students who may_already be several

thousand dollars in debt from a previous school only to find themselves having to retake courses they already borrowed money for.

Should a student stay in school and insist that the school accept their credits or should they simply retake the classes and avoid the hassle? Furthermore should the Federal Government continue to award grants and loans toward courses that have already been taken and where good grades were received from another accredited university?

One sentiment that was rep<;ated several times in the survey was that MSCD's on1y concern was money and not the students.

"I feel that MSCD will not give a transfer student a straight answer just to make [them] stay here longer and get the most money possible out of [them]," one survey said.

Linda Holland agreed that transfer students have a difficult time and from the students point of view "we seem to be sticklers."

"We know what it's like to be a student, but I can tell you that every time you transfer from one school to another these things happen," Holland said.

"There's always some loss of credit, even if you stay here and change your major."

One student interviewed by Halloran' s class suggested that MSCD organize a central advisory system.

"Too many new students flounder in their first years here trying to figure out what to take and when to take it. Students should have a little more guidance so they could possibly graduate in four to five years."

Another student complained that "much of the transferring of credits is mired in too much bureaucracy. The system needs to be streamlined somehow with more accessibility for courses taken at other schools that may help one's major.

At the very least, these classes should count toward electives."

For those students frustrated with the process, Holland emphasizes that there is always the appeal process through department heads or through the Board of Academic Exceptions.

"At least make the first attempt to appeal," Holland said. "I'd say in general that we're pretty good about transferring."

Vindication of a Cowboys' fan FRANKLY

•

SPEAKING SHAWN CHRISTOPHER Cox

What a bittersweet victory it was Sunday for all fans of America's team - the Dallas Cowboys. Yes, it's true. I've been a closet Cowboys' fan since I was a little boy and can finally come out and see the light of victory.

In 1978, I was 45 percent Cowboys' fan and 55 percent Broncos' fan. Of course, we all know who won that one!

The memory that has always stuck out, however, was "The Catch." For 11 years I have tried to forget that awful memory of Joe Montana scrambling out of the pocket only to throw a touchdown pass to Dwight Clark. I was depressed for days, if not years.

The game against the San Francisco 49ers would be the .closest the Cowboys would come to go to the Super Bowl for years - 11 to be exact. The Cowboys lost the following year to the Washington Redskins in the playoffs.

Then came the down years . No playoffs for the

Cowboys and the eventual ousting of Tom Landry. This was quite upsetting, but I thought, "change can be good."

And then came the 1-15 season. I had no choice but to be a Broncos' fan . But, I still had faith.

It was fun being a Broncos' fan as Dallas slowly rebuilt America's team and the dynasty to come in 1990s as long as one decided to skip the Super Bowl.

It was said that two weeks ago would be the real Super Bowl. The two best teams in the NFL went head-to-head in the NFC Championship Game.

Of course, that game was for revenge. The Cowboys finally put the 49ers back in their place as a dying, if not dead, dynasty by winning 30-20.

The NFC Championship brought the real vindication by beating San Francisco with a solid game plan. The Super Bowl was just icing on the cake. But, what delicious icing it is!

The Cowboys have improved its Super Bowl record to 3-3 with a 52-17 slaughter of the Buffalo Bills.

Finally, the feeling of Super Bowl victory. My mom asked me who I would root for if the Broncos played the Cowboys in a Super Bowl. That's a tough one, so I'll be politically correct and just revel in the Cowboys' victory.

However, one can't help but love America's team now.

By the way, hasn't the AFC learned it cannot win by sending the Bills or the Broncos?

GUEST EDITORIAL

The Spanish were not all conquistadors The Metropolitan welcomes guest editorials from all students, faculty and staff of the Auraria campus. Editorials must be typewritten, have name, class status, phone number and submitted to The Metropolitan by Friday at Student Union Room 156. Those of 500 words or· less will be considered first.

Some editing for space may be necessary.

,r:.

The 500th anniversary of Christopher Columbus' first voyage to the new world was marked by mixed emotions in remembrance of the occasion. History has recorded the destruction and enslavement, at the hands of the Spaniards, of the indigenous people they found and called Indians in the New World .

Today when people speak about the Spanish conquest and colonization of the New World they tend to dwell upon the acts of greed and evil inflicted upon the Indians. They would have you believe that all of the Spaniards were bloodthirsty, greedy, ethnocentric and just mean-spirited.

True, there were many of these generalizations may have been accurate, even though this type of behavior was the norm rather than the exception in 16th century Europe. But there were some, granted a minority, who believed that all men had a basic natural right to freedom , dignity and the respect of other men.

The truest champion of human dignity in the 16th century was Bartholome de Las Casas of Spain (1474-1566) . Las Casas went to America in 1502 and tasted the life of the conquistador during the conquest of Cuba. He acquired Indian slaves who he worked in the mines, and built a large estate. He remained blind to tf'le plight of the Indians until one day in 1514 on his estate in Cuba he was suddenly illuminated. Las Casas had been studying for the priesthood and

recieved his holy orders in 1512, but had been oblivious to the plight of the Indians surrounding him. Then he read in Ecclesiastics in the Bible "He that sacrificeth of a thing wrongfully gotten, his offering is ridiculous, and the gifts of unjust men are not accepted." Within a few days he was Now totally a changed man. convinced "that everything done to the Indians thus far was unjust and tyrranical," he determinded, at the age of 40, to devote his life toward "the justice of those Indian peoples, and to condemn the robbery, evil, and

"There were some ...who believed that all men had a basic natural right to fredom, dignity and the respect of other men." injustice committed against them."

Las Casas publicly returned to the governor all of his Indian serfs on Aug. 15, 1514. For the next 50 years he championed Indians rights. Las Casas returned to Spain to defend rights of Indians in the Barcelona Parliament.

He then persuaded the King of Spain, Charles V, to sponsor a dream of his to build towns where "free Indians" would collaborate with carefully selected Spanish farmers. When this venture failed, Las Casas retreated into a Dominican convent in Santo Domingo to write his account of the Spanish in the Indies to enlighten future generations with the wisdom his own age refused.

Las Casas continued to champion the cause of the plight of the Indians

throughout his life. In 1550 he attended a special congregation of theologians and councillors decreed

by Charles V to debate the question of how the Indians should be treated.

Las Casas argued that in almost every way the Indians were superior to the ancient Greeks and Romans, and in some respects even superior to the Spaniards.

The council could never agree and so never gave the king a decision.

They cautiously concluded that expeditions should be entrusted to captains "zealous in the service of God and the king who would act as a good example to the Indians, and who would go for the good of the Indians and not for the gold."

Even though Las Casas failed to change the Indian policy of Spain, he became the voice of conscience. He was never wholly suppressed and remained spokesman for the professed doctrine of the Roman Catholic Church. He failed to convert conquistadores into pacifists, but he put the stamp of the Church on the humanity of the Indians. The relatively peaceful conquest of the Philippines after 1570 is sometimes credited to the surviving spirit of Las Casas.

It is a shame that the rulers of of Europe never adopted Las Casas' compassion for the plight of the Indians. Although at times Las Casas was a lonely cry for justice in a · wilderness of greed and prejudices, he never gave up. We would do well to remember that even in the darkest chapters of history of the exploitation of the Indians, some men were brave enough to stand up and shout to the world, "Shame, shame!"

Kevin Rucker MSCD Student

Lawrence ~ , ~ .:Jluraria To find the positive is the greatest struggle for us all You can't please everyone.

When I have written negative columns, many complained to me and asked : "Why can 't you ever find something positive to write?"

And yet,· when I write positive material, people accuse me of lacking a sense of real ity and being sappy. Well excuse me for taking the hard road.

For you see, being negative is one of the easiest things to do as a columnist.

It is easy to point out the shortcomings of the world. There are problems revolving around us every moment of our lives and they sometimes seem to consume our spirits like.piranha in a feeding frenzy. "Reality" slams into us like a wrecking ball every morning when the newspaper hits the porch.

We are inundated with images of poverty, war, famine , murder, rape and ch ildren v iolently attacking one another. Every day we are confronted with difficulties great and small which seem to color our world a lifeless grey. We are caught in a constant struggle of trying to define our world into an easily understood black and white when it is actually made up of subtle shades of grey. Everyday we go home feeling as if we need to scrape ourselves clean of the filth that exists within our water, air and land.

Writers attempt to exhort us to change all th is. Columnists and editorial writers try to expose the dirty underbelly of our society and beg for all of us to become active in trying to alter it.

So far, little has changed.

I have decided to avoid this easily traveled path. Instead, I want to tell everyone about the glorious poss ibilities that exist within us and around us. I want to share with people the hope that I have for the human race. I want to motivate others to look, not to the world, but within themselves for change. I want to challenge others to struggle with the difficulties that bring about personal change and greatness within ourselves.

When we change that which is within, when we work to alter the world in the smallest of ways for a positive outcome, then we change the world around us. Reality will never go away, but how we deal with it is up to us.

Think about it.

Student strip tease dancers perpetuate old stereotypes

Critics of student government should question own offerings

How sinister and yet how typical that David Thibodeau's Jan. 29 article "Taking the top off tuition" validates the male sexual fantasy of schoolgirl by day/stripper by night by presenting a nice little story about two women who choose to strip to pay for tuition.

Just like "Pretty Woman" glamorized prostitution and elevated the status of the prostitute to man's best friend, Thibodeau's story leaves the reader with the idea that stripping equals two smart women who found a "creative" way to pay for school and decide to take off their dresses in a bar full of "well-dressed and well-behaved" men and meet celebrities (Dennis Hopper) until they graduate and take a pay cut (to $30,000) to use their brains.

Thibodeau failed to ask the women why they would degrade themselves from human beings to wet-dreams, why they would fuel an industry that objectifies women and why they would want to meet anyone who would patronize such a bar.

When women take off their clothes and act out male fantasies , they cease being human and become

Knucklehead offers word to the wise KNUCKLEHEAD CHRONICLES

Eric Mccafferty

As you have probably noticed, school has started again, and along with the inevitable lines in the bookstore, at admissions, and in the library, come my favorite and most enjoyable lines - the Financial Aid lines. Man, I hate financial aid lines.

Why is it that every time I go tp the financial aid office something is always wrong? I have turned in all of my requested forms, documents and reports; I have called the Selective Service office in Chicago three times to confirm my registration of 1 O years ago, and still I must wade through the reams of paperwork.

Coupled with my extended waits in the aforementioned lines is the ridiculous crap I must endure while I jump through the financial aid hoops. I am positive that I am not alone in my exquisite experiences of marching across campus from office to office while I track down trivial information that is necessary to keep my file current. And when it is all up-to-date, something invariably goes wrong, or I receive some misinformation to throw me off the track. Let's see a show of hands, is there anyone else out there in the financial aid vacuum who knows what I'm complaining about? I thought so.

I have unique experiences, but when I consider my travails, I realize that I am not alone, in fact, I'm quite certain that you have had to endure the exact same red tape and run around I have; with the same results. Why do we always end up at the beginning?

My hard-learned lessons have taught me one thing, and that one thing, my dear readers, I will happily pass along to you. Are you listening?

Always, no matter what you are told or how much a person assures you that all is well with your financial aid file, never take his/ her word for it.

Always, always, double check that your file is complete and that nothing has changed. Never assume all is well. And always trust your gut instincts. If you feel that something is wrong with your file/status check on it, make a counselor do some work, look something up, or whatever.

You will no doubt· discover that your feelings were accurate, that you have mysteriously been changed from a 03 code (financial aid) to a 05 code (self-pay). That sucks, and it is something that is not easy to fix . And if it does not get fixed, the registration computer will happily drop your classes for you. Congratulations, you have entered the Twilight Zone of the financial aid netherworld.

My latest financial aid fiascos have been with the few scholarships I qualify for. The Financial Aid Office publishes a yearly directory of scholarships that are available for the coming school year, and how and when to apply for them .. 1 have discovered that little of the information contained in this bulletin _is accurate, and none of the information -has been passed along to the departments I am supposed to contact for the application or for more pertinent details.

My conversation usually goes like this, and it usually happens every week: Me: Hi, may I have an application for the Colorado Scholars Scholarship?

Them: NO, earthling, we have not received them yet.

Me: When do you expect to receive them, oh wise and helpful person? Them: Sometime in February, if you're lucky, punk. Me: But February is the deadline, and by then it might be too late. Them : Too bad punk, go panhandle somewhere else for your education, we d_on't care, we don't have to. I then stagger out the door, distraught and rejected vowing revenge.

Jane Raley I The Metropolitan Condoms, diaphragms and spermicide cream have been traditional forms of birth control for years, but new strides In research are offering new choices for woJnen in America.

Depo-Provera:

Advances with injectable contraceptive that lasts 3 months offers new choice~ Jean E.R. Straub The Metropolitan

Despite some controversy, a drug that has been available for years in the United States as a treatment for cancer is now available as a form of birth control.

Two years after the pamphlets explaining the available methods of birth control were reprinted to include "New! Long lasting! Norplant," the Upjohn Company of Kalamazoo, Mich., is "one-upping" the competition with Depo-Provera, a contraceptive that provides three months of birth control with just one injection.

American women are getting a shot that nine million women in 90 countries, including Britain, France, Germany and Sweden are already using.

But recent data has demonstrated that long-;term use may contribute to osteoporosis or bone mass loss, according to the Food and Drug Administration. Upjohn will conduct additional research to study this potential effect.

As a means of birth control, Depo-Provera was delayed by the FDA for 20 years.

Depo-Provera was developed in the 1960s and has been approved for contraception in many countries. Upjohn first submitted the drug for approval in the 1970s. At that time, studies on laboratory animals raised questions about its potential to cause breast cancer in humans. Worldwide studies have since found the overall risk of cancer, including breast cancer in humans, to be minimal if any, according to the FDA. Studies show that the drug 99 percent effective, according to Planned Parenthood literature. In typical use, Depo-Provera works as well as female sterilization and Norplant and is more effective than all other birth control methods, including birth control pills and the intrauterine device.

The FDA advises women to discuss the benefits and risks of Depo-Provera with their doctors before deciding to use it. The drug can be injected into the muscle of the arm or buttock after a full physical exam within the first five days of a woman's menstrual cycle.

The most common side effects of the drug are menstrual irregularities and weight gain. Some patients may experience headaches, nervousness, abdominal pain, dizziness~ weakness or fatigue. The drug should not be used by women who have acute liver diseases, abnormal vaginal bleeding, breast cancer or blood clots in the legs, lungs or eyes, according to the FDA. Also, doctors must perform a pregnancy test before they can prescribe the drug

because babies exposed to the drug may suffer low birth weight.

Planned Parenthood offers Depo-Provera, according to outreach counselqr : Horst. There was a slight hold-up in offering the drug because Upjohn changed its aging, she said.

A few Americans were using it as biitb control before FDA approval, Horst The use of depo-provera as birth control before FDA approval was common know in the fields of medicine and family planning, she said.

With the introduction of Norplant and Depo-Provera, the number of birth~ options increased more in two years than they had in seven, since the spong1 approved for use in 1983, Horst said.

"It's wonderful for women to get that many options that quickly," she said.

However, Planned Parenthood staff members stress with all patients that no method of birth control can protect 'It's wonderfll people from sexually transmitted diseases. that many OP' But with two revolutionary forms of birth control in two years, why aren't people more excited?

"Most women have always been very happy with the --Sui birth control pill," Horst said. She added that the pill has changed dramatically in the more than 20 years it has been available, and now many. varieties are offered.

But both Depo-Provera and Norplant are more convenient than the pill, Horst said. Norplant is more convenient because six tiny , flexible progesterone-filled capsules inserted under the skin of the upper arm provide protection for up to five years.

Norplant was also slow in coming. Clinical research and development on No began in 1966 at The Population Council. Initial clinical trials began in Chile in 191 The main drawback with Norplant, however, is the cost, Horst said. At PL Parenthood, the price of Norplant is $601, which includes the exam, the implanl insertion of the implants and two post-insertion exams, one after two weeks an after three months. The drug itself costs $365, Horst said. A physician in private p1 might charge $600 to $1000. In other countries, it is much cheaper, she said. No has actually gone up-in price since its introduction. In the next several years, Hor. she is hopeful that the price will drop. 路

depo-provera, however, is cheaper than Norplant because the cost is for three months and not five years .. Norplant is actually in the same price range when broken down into months, but most physicians and clinics are not offering payment plans.

Upjohn will charge doctors $29.95 for each dose of Depo-Provera, Horst said.

At Planned Parenthood, Depo-Provera costs about $40 for the shot, which lasts three months. A new patient would need an additional $51 for a full physical exam.

The Student Health Center on the Auraria Campus offers birth control pills, diaphragms and condoms, and plans are underway to begin Norplant and Depo-Provera, according to Billi Mavromatis, a staff assistant at the center.

• Planned Parenthood also offers the "morning after pill", a high-dose birth control pill that is taken within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse, Horst said. It is available, but not many women know about it, she said.

• Norplant 2, which will last two to three years, is approximately in its third set of clinical trials, Horst said, adding that she is hopeful that the drug will be on the market in the next two years.

• A condom for women is in the works, but a birth control pill for men won 't be around for a long time, Horst said, both because men aren't as likely to volunteer for research and because women are held primarily responsible for birth control.

Pharmaceutical companies are not necessarily doing the research into new birth control methods, Horst said. The World Health Organization, an international organization, and The Population Council, are the leaders in research. These groups sell the right to market contraceptive drugs in the United States, Horst said.

"It's really a political process more than anything," she said.

Horst said students can get confidential information on birth control by calling Planned Parenthood at 1-800-322- 1020.

Life drawing model bares his nude way of life .

Kim Brown The Metropolitan

The nude human body . It means different things to different .people. For MSCD art students, the body is an object of art, like a bowl of fruit or a flower. And the "object's" attitude is just as easygoing.

"I just think of it as another way to be on stage," said Mark Reidel, 36, of his start in nude modeling for art classes.

As an acting student 15 years ago, Reidel was asked by a fellow University of Colorado-Boulder student and roommate if he would model for her life drawing class. He accepted and has been modeling for art classes, on and off, ever since. He even modeled while he was an MSCD student I 0 years ago where he earned an education degree and then went on to teach elementary school for three years.

He now models for MSCD art professor Jean Schiff's life drawing class, which met on Friday afternoons during the Fall semester.

The feeling of having 20 different students eyeing you in 20 different places - every dip and curve and appendage does not faze Reidel.

"It really doesn't affect me at all," Reidel said. "In fact, I think they are more embarrassed than I am. Especially the beginning classes.

"You can see it in their faces. They're more embarrassed to look at me than I am to look at them."

"It's all the same thing. You're in costume, you're out of costume. It's like the nudity is a costume."

Other interactions take place between model and artist with the finished project.

"Sometimes I've done classes where they're doing more like abstract kind of work, and I think to myself, 'What do they need me for? They don't even look like human forms,"' he said. "And, I've done a lot of classes with beginners and its like, 'No way is that me."' fu a profession that comes naturally to Reidel in a setting that embraces any form as an object of art, non-artists tend to view life drawing classes as free-for-all peep shows, reacting with statements like, "Oh, yeah? When are these classes offered?" or "What room is this class in?"

Reidel realizes the difference in attitudes toward his profession.

"A nightmare would be somebody, say a business class, comes in and says, 'OK. We're gonna draw. We're going to drop our pencils and calculators and draw.' That would be a freaky class to have to go into," he said.

"It would be whole different mentality, not that I'm putting those kind of people down, but for this kind of thing, there would be a whole different mentality of what you're expecting and what they're expecting. And it wouldn't be as relaxing in a sense - and it is relaxing work."

More than 120 bicyclists from around the world will embark on a cross-country journey this summer, combining physical exercise and adven~re with community outreach and fund raising during the eighth annual Bike-Aid transcontinental bike trek.

From June lO to Aug. 22, cyclists will don helmets and water bottles, pedal through six different routes around the country and finish in Washington D.C. for

"We set .a double pick to get 17-5 run in the first six minutes that lifted Halman the ball. Next thing I see is Chuck them to a 40-33 halftime lead.

"I basicall y challenged their manhood," Hull said. "I felt Regis was playing with more guts and tougher than we were.

And they were just taking it to· us on our own home court."

Hull then decided to shuffle the lineup by inserting Hancock and Allen "A-Train" McClain.

The talk and the strategy worked as the inspired Roadrunners came out on a 14-5 run in the first six minutes of the second half.

The Roadrunners took the lead for the first time since the opening basket when the "A-Trains" scored on a breakaway dunk, making the score 47-45 with 14 minutes left in regulation.

The Roadrunners' balanced effort was led by the A-Train's 16 point, 5 rebound performance.

"Al did a great job by giving us a presence inside," Hull said. "If he turns and shoots, not many guys can stop him."

Other notables included junior guard

Hancock finally at home .~.

Roadrunner forward fits into the winning groove of men's basketball team Edward C. Morrow ,..; The Metropolitan

What is Adams State College's loss is MSCD ' s gain as Chuck Hancock. has found a home.

When the 6-foot-5 forward was "( . contemplating transferring from Adams State, his thoughts were gomg to Colorado State University, not to MSCD: Those thoughts switched when he attended an MSCD basketball game and decided to try out for the team in the fall.

"This might work out," he said.

After a talk with Coach Bob Hull, he decided to go to tryouts and roll the dice and give it a shot. But when the day came to try out, he entered the Auraria Events Center only to find out he was an hour late for the tryout.

"I actually thought about not even

trying out," he said.

GiYing up is not in his nature as the gamble paid off- Hancock made the squad.

"He did a good job at tryouts, so we kept him," Coach Bob Hull said .

When he was given the opport~nity , he produced and was called the "surprise" of last year's team, averaging 3.5 points in 13 minutes per game.

"I wasn't expected to play last year. I was just waiting to show them I could play," he said.

This year there is no question about his playing ability. Just ask Regis who witnessed his buzzer-beater.

Chuck' s aggressive style is best served as a defensive player.

'Tm one of the.players coach looks to for defense," Hancock said. .Hancock said. he has never regretted the move from Adams State to MSCD.

'The times we had against them (Mines) shows me we are ready for the championships.'

-MSCD coach Cindy Kemp 136-106 in the meet at Auraria.

"Our men's team had lost to Mines by that exact same score at the beginning of the season," MSCD coach Cindy Kemp said. ' It just shows how far they've came as a team since then. They swam to win this time."

The men's team placed first in eight of the 13 events and were paced by junior Bernie Gard' s three first place wins. Gard and teammates James Wilson and Mikki Dalbec swept the 1,000-yard Freestyle.

Gard also won the 500-yard Freestyle, teammate Wayne Kinningham placed second, and was a member of the 400-yard Freestyle Relay.

"We like the distances," Kemp said.

"I stacked my men ' s team because Mines is one of the better teams in our conference. The times we had against them shows me they are ready for the championships."

Mark Gacioch had a season ' s best time in the 200-yard Freestyle while Kenningham took second.

In the 50-yard Freestyle Al McDaniel had a season best time with a 22.8, but was touched out at the finish by Mine's Chris Lawrence. Greg Royther and Cory Warneke took the top two spots in the 200-yard Intermediate.

Gacioch also won the 100-yard Freestyle and divers Larry Boroff and Troy Williams finished first and third in the three meter Diving Optional. " This team is showing a lot of depth," Kemp said. "With our divers you could flip a coin on who is going to win a given meet. Larry may be slightly more consistent."

The women's team took nine of 12 events in a meet that was different strokes for different folks.

Roberts has rebordbreaki ng night in win Edward C. Morrow The Metropolitan

It was a record-breaking night for Holly Roberts as she led MSCO women's basketball team past Regis University, 6755, lifting the team to a 4-2 record in the Colorado Athletic Conference.

The senior center broke her first

'That's the best part of the game when (Roberts) blocks a shot' -MSCD guard Cindy Dalton

record before the tip-off. with her lOOth career start at MSCD. If that record wasn't enough, Roberts went out and blocked eight shots, breaking her own record of seven she set last year, ironically, against Regis. She also added 12 points and 19 boards to make her the player of the game.

"I just wanted to play hard," Roberts said.

Regis got out of the gate with a 8-0 run in the first five minutes, but the threepoint shooting of senior guards Cindy Dalton and Michelle Thomas, who each hit two three-pointers, propelled MSCD to a 32-26 half-time advantage.

"I expect a lot out of them," Coach Darryl Smith said. "They 're both outstanding players."

With the score tied at 36 with 14 minutes left, Lisa Schamp, a senior forward, scored 7 straight points, and Regis was never able to overcome the lead.

"I concentrated on posting up and going up strong," Schamp said.

"When Lisa came in, she posted up strong and gave us a lift," senior forward Noelle Braunschweiger said.

Regis' last comeback effort was cut short because of foul trouble, leaving Roberts with a superior height advantage , which she used to pound out 10 points in ten minutes.

"They put a shorter player on me, so that helped," Roberts said.

The key to the MSCD second half pull-away was execution and a determined effort to punch the ball inside.

"We had better execution," Smith said. "We threw the ball down in there better in the second half."

Roberts' intimidating play pumped up her fellow players.

"That's the best part of the game, when (Roberts) blocks a shot," Dalton said. "It's intimidating and gets us going."

Roberts tenacity on both ends of the floor rubs off on the other players. · "If she works hard then the rest of the team will work hard," Braunschweiger said. "She's the leader in that respect."
