Outdated catalogues may cost college thousands Katarina Ahlfort Staff Writer About 40,000 MSCD catalogues for 1991-93, with a sales value of.roughly $120,000, are filling up storage space on Auraria Campus.

Nobody knows for sure what will happen to the surplus, but proposals call for continuous selling of the outdated catalogues in the future for $3 each.

One idea is that stickers with the new dates would be glued onto the front page, and the catalogues would have inserts with information updates , said Jett Conner, associate vice president of academic affairs.

Another proposal, he said, is to print all academic information updates in the semester schedule, which is distributed free to all students.

The catalogue serves as a basis for printed information about MSCD, Conner .d.

Sal

In previous years, the catalogues wt;re given out free to students. But for the past year, people have had to pay $3 for a catalogue.

When asked whether it was a mistake to make students pay for the catalogues, Conner said that the decision to charge may have caused the great surplus.

About 55,000 catalogues, "the usual amount," were ordered this last time around, he said. The price for the order was around $60,000, according to Conner.

A continuous use of the outdated catalogues may save the college $j0,000, Conner said.

"If we use the remaining catalogues, the savings could be substantial for the institution," he said.

The reason , she said, is that it could result in a lack of information for the students, which ·in the long run would mean extra work for the faculty.

"The students would have to look in two or three different places in order to get information on all the updates," Friot said. She said students then would turn to the academic departments for updates and guidance.

Members of the faculty, and Friot herself, would prefer that the catalogues be printed every year, instead of every two years, she said.

"The problem is that the information in the catalogues often is inaccurate after a year," she said.

When the institution originally Morgan Keiaerrrfie Metropo1nan decided to charge for the MSCD administrators hopes to reuse some of the 40,000 catalogues, Conner said, he was unsold copies of the 1991-93 catalogues. opposed to it. Now he has changed "When the catalogues were given his view on the three dollar price. away in the past, it happened that the "We can't afford to give out institution ran out of them," he said. "But catalogues like we used to," he said. this time we only sold 8,000 catalogues."

Ombuds applicants suspect foul play in hiring process

Several MSCD faculty members have expressed concern for the way the new ombuds officer was selected.

"It looked like the person selected was pre-determined," said Nancy Breckel, director of orientation. "We were taken through the process for appearances."

Breckel was one of five applicants to apply for the position. The ombuds officer works as a problem-solver, hearing and investigating concerns and complaints of students, staff, faculty and administrators.

An official announcement was made by the Ombuds Officer Search Committee on Dec. 11 that Ben Monroe, professor of human services, was chosen to fill the position.

The Ombuds position opened last August when Cheryl Norton, professor of

human performance, sport and leisure studies, resigned because she was offered the position of chairwoman for her department.

The search committee was formed and the opening for the Ombuds position was announced on July 27, before Norton left.

Breckel said she suspected foul play when the deadline for applying for the position was extended after she had filed her application.

Charles Dobbs, assistant to the president, who was also the chairman of the search committee, said the deadline was extended for a specific reason. The committee, he said, felt that the position announcement needed to be revised.

"We took out a sentence. We felt it was better implied than explicit," Dobbs said.

Dobbs is referring to a sentence in the original annou·n cement stating that each

applicant's current office (the search was internal) needed to release the person halftime to work as the ombuds officer. The ombuds position is part-time.

Monroe said he was one of the applicants who made the original deadline.

"I applied before the deadline. I met that way in advance," Monroe said.

According to Breckel, she was interviewed by MSCD President Thomas Brewer during the application process last fall.

"I was told by Dr. Brewer that be would make a decision the next week," Breckel said.

Breckel was never officially told that she did not get the position.

"I was told by a colleague that Ben Monroe got the job," Breckel said.

Gays, Republicans battle verbally

Dominic Chavez/The Metropolitan

Bridget Anderson, right, of the College Republicans, debates with ALAGA's R.J. Lobato about the issue of gays In the military. Both groups, which had ex-military members as representatives, discussed the Issue at a forum Feb. 10 at Aurarla.

Katarina Ahlfort Staff Writer "How can the military fight for the oppressed when it is the oppressor?"

That question was posed by Rick Collier, spokesman from the Auraria Lesbian and Gay Alliance during a debate Monday with the College Republicans on the issue of gays in the military.

Two members from each group were on the debate panel presenting their views on gays in the military. The common denominator between the panel members was that they all had served for several

years in the armed forces .

Joel Leggett, a Republican, said that a military unit is a killing machine not intended for "social experimentation."

He added, "If it's not broke, don't fix it.".

Collier, however, said he had served in the Marine Corps for six years, and during that time he had experienced understanding from his colleagues.

"There have always been gays in the military and there always will be, whether it's legal or illegal," Collier said.

Bridget Anderson, of the Republicans,

compared the military to giving birth "Until one has experienced it, it is hard to know what it's like," she said.

Gays in the military, she said, should not be more tolerable than men and women showering together.

Anderson questioned whether the military should reform to reflect the problems of society.

"The military cannot bow down to a small, but well-organized group.

Individuals do not exist in the military," she said. "To say that androgynous behavior is desirable is not OK." R.J. Lobato, from the gay alliance and who spent four years in the Air Force, told the audience that being gay in the military is no different from being straight.

"I was part of a decorated team, and I had friends in the military who were gay, lesbian and heterosexual," Lobato said.

"Since gays have always been part of the military, we have always been part of the success of the armed forces," he said. "The problem society has with gays is that we are I0 percent of the population."

UCD junior Teri Hutchinson said it is important to debate the controversy on campus.

"We need to talk about issues around social justice. It's important to educate people," Hutchinson said.

"I am a lesbian, but I don't shake my finger at the Republicans, saying that 'they don't know what they talk about,"' she said. "We all have -a right to express ourselves, and everybody can learn from discussions."

Communications department considered by task force

.l

Chris Austin Sports Editor Students and faculty will have a chance to voice their opinions about how to make obtaining a degree at MSCD more efficient.

The Reorganization Task Force will hold open forums Feb. 23 and 24 for students and faculty to voice their opinions on proposed changes.

The task force deals with the organization of the schools, departments and institutions within MSCD, said Jerry Boswell, the task force chairman. The task force is especially concerned with departments that offer similar courses, he added.

"It is a question of efficiency and direction," Boswell said. "We want to look at how to make the departments more effective."

Forming a mass communications department with four divisions is one possibility being researched by the task force. In a document entitled "Reorganization Issues and Concerns," the task force suggests speech, journalism, technical communications and theater all be combined under one department. Each division would have its own coordinator serving under a single chair.

Bills barrage higher ed Chris Austin Staff Writer

-

Faced with budget constraints under Am~ndment 1 and the "education crisis," state legislators are drafting bills that would bring major changes to higher education. Here is an overview of the bills that have been introduced and how they would affect higher education.

•House Bill 1162 was approved by the House Education Committee 011 Feb. 8.

The bill gives a vote to one student on each of the following governing boards: State Board of Agriculture, Board of Trustees for the University of Northern Colorado, Board of Trustees for State Colleges and State Board for Community Colleges and Occupational Education.

MSCD's student government president Tom Mestnik testified at the committee hearing. MSCD falls under the jurisdiction of the Board of Trustees for State Colleges.

In the past, each of these boards has had a non-voting student member that played an advisory role. Barb Ferrill, student trustee for MSCD, said the new law will make colleges and universities accountable to the desires of their students.

"Before, they had to hear our complaints, but they did not have to listen," Ferrill said. "A vote for students is crucial to be able to hold schools accountable."

•A bill that would have eliminated all state-funded financial aid and do away with the Colorado Commission on Higher Education was debated in the State Veterans and Military Affairs Committee.

House Bill 1290, introduced by Rep. Phil Pankey, R-Littleton, had its first reading on Feb. 11 and its second Feb. 16.

Travis Berry, the executive director of the Colorado Student Association, said his association along with representatives of Colorado State University lobbied against the bill. Because of the protests by students, the sections dealing with higher

education were stricken from the bill, he said.

Pankey told The Metropolitan in a telephone interview that the reason he introduced the bill was to try to eliminate some government sanctioned programs.

"It is embarrassing to me to have 35,000 (government supported) programs out there," Pankey said, "and there is not one that we can do without."

•The bill that would give legislators

'Before, they had to hear our complaints, but they did not have to listen.'

-Barb Ferrill MSCD student trustee control over tuition increases made it through the Senate Education Committee, passed in the Senate and is being debated in the House of Representatives.

Senate Bill 136 deals with how Amendment 1 affects higher education.

The bill would establish a tuition cap and keep tuition increases below 6.5 percent, according to Douglas Bruce, the author of Amendment 1.

The bill concerns the Colorado Commission on Higher Education. David Longanecker, executive director of the commission, said he is worried that money for higher education might be taken away to fund the K-12 deficit because of the budget restraints Amendment 1 puts on the state.

Senate Bill 136 contains provisions to streamline the transfer process and would mandate incoming freshman classes to have 55 percent in-state enrollment at all state supported colleges and universities.

The bill would also require that total enrollment at all state-funded colleges be two-thirds in-state students.

SACAB halts Tivoli plan J. Brian Kehl The Metropolitan

;

The Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board stopped the Auraria Board from approving the Tivoli master plan Feb. 8 because it fears that the plan will not satisfy student needs.

SACAB representatives said that the master plan allows the most desirable restaurant space to be leased to independent restaurants rather than Professional Food Service Management, the vendor selected by the students.

Eden Cohen, chairwoman of SACAB, said that if prime space is leased to independent vendors, PFM will not be able to compete with expensive restaurants, causing a decline in food service.

Kersten Keith, MSCD's student representative at the meeting, said students do not want an "AHEC mall."

"We have much greater control over a main food vendor than over several independent places," Keith said.

The plan is nothing like a mall, according to Auraria's vice president of administration, JoAnn Soker.

"It is more like the student union up at the University of Northern Colorado," she said.

THE METROPOLITAN

Dean Wolf, Auraria's vice president for operations, said students must generate as much revenue as they can.

"The question is what mix will generate the optimum revenue and still meet student needs," Wolf said.

The plan was approved Dec. 17 by the Tivoli Planning Committee, which consists· of student representatives and Auraria·Board members.

The plan designates 31,416 square. feet of floor space for a food service vendor and 33,238 square feet of space for leasable retail.

Students voted for the plan under the impression that PFM would control all areas designated for food, and that independent restaurants would lease retail space, Keith said.

But Wolf said the businesses in the Tivoli need strong competition.

"Competition keeps both vendors on their toes because they want the most they can have of the market share," he said.

The Auraria board voted to send the plan back to the Tivoli Planning Committee to clarify what space will be designated for PPM and what space will be designated for independent vendors.

Efficiency behind possible merge TASK FORCE from page 4 The task force document suggests taht courses offered by the separate divisions would not overlap and would be designed to serve as many needs as possible. It also said that department equipment could be shared between divisions and maintained efficiently.

Mentor provides contact within ~SCD, additional support for students outside family and friends Dr. C.J. White, of the Sociology, Anthropology and Social Welfare Department, hopes to help students survive their college experience by giving them a contact within the institution, as well as serving as an additional support system outside of family and friends.

In a more formal setting, Dr. White has mentored several students. Dennis Green and Doug Tasker are just two of the students who he has helped in many ways.

Dennis Green, who has been a teaching assistant for the last two years for Dr. White's Introduction to Afri°can American Studies class, first met Dr. White in 1988 when he enrolled in his class.

"He was real serious and dedicated," said Green of his first impressions of Dr. White.

"He...<had a style that wasn't .SIJlllllI)lleering. He put everybody at,_iase."

In addition, Dr. White encouraged Green to become involved with national academic conferences, in order to strengthen his academic growth and meet professionals in his area of interest. For instance, he has attended the Black Family Conference held in Louisville, Kentucky. "(Dr. White) groomed me in ways to be a serious, professional, academic student," said Green who plans to teach college someday.

"He's Always saying: You should always go beyond what the book gives you; go beyond what the teacher offers."

Green graduated in May 1992 with a bachelor's degree in Sociology· but has returned this year to finish another bachelor's degree in African American studies. This fall, Green plans to attend graduate school at the University of Colorado-Denver. "That's helped me to become a better student."

Dr. White has already helped many students in an informal type of advising and mentoring but, he says, that in a "formal" mentoring

As with several of the mentors participating in the program, Dr. White also had mentors who helped him at various stages of his schooling and career.

THE METROPOLITAN

Lee tells audience to do their best April M. Washington The Metropolitan It's 7:30 p.m., a spotlight lights up the dark stage, an electric piano sits in the background, a chair stands in the center as filmmaker Spike Lee strolls onto the Denver Auditorium stage to a standing ovation.

Wearing a denim shirt, khaki pants, tennis shoes and a baseball cap, Lee told a sold-out crowd Feb. 10 that it's important to stay true to themselves.

Lee, whose latest project was the acclaimed "Malcolm X," said he no longer cares about recognition from the Academy Awards or Golden Globes. In a speech that at times seemed like a job fair for young aspiring artists seeking Lee's advice, he told the audience that artists' best rewards come from knowing they did the best work they could do.

"Now is the time we should be telling our own story and be in control of our own images," he said. ''There are times today I can't catch a cab in New York City. My hair still rises on the back of my neck when approached by the police. Black males that go into department stores are still followed by security guards because all black men do is steal. These are the experiences I brought to 'Malcolm X."' The event was sponsored by MSCD in conjunction with CCD and UCD.

"Malcolm X, " which opened in November and was plagued by controversy from its inception, didn't win any Golden Globe awards. And it appears the 3 1/2 hour epic will be shut out of the Academy Awards. Lee said it doesn't matter that his film is being snubbed by the old Hollywood elite.

"We (bis film company) just wanted to be true to ourselves," Lee said during his speech in honor of Black History Month. "We knew what we did. We know it will stand through time. The same way people are still looking at "Do the Right Thing," tells me history will bear 'Malcolm X' out."

Lee, 35, is a graduate from Morehouse College in Atlanta and holds a master's degree in film production from New York University. He has produced and released through his production company, 40 Acres and a Mule Filmworks Productions, six movies in seven years, including "Do the Right Thing," "Mo' Better Blues,'' "School Daze," and "Jungle Fever."

Lee told students in the audience, during a question and answer session, that in order to succeed, "it's important to know your craft. Just be willing to learn and sometimes work free," he said. "The hard work will pay off."

He told young audience members to be prepared for the double standards in

American society.

"Education is the key," Lee said prancing across the stage. "If you don't have it, you 'II be left out."

Lee's comments were well received by the audience.

"I don't know where a lot of people get that he's racist," said Andrea Hawkins, 22, a student attending CU-Boulder's film school. "It's his turn and white people like me should sit down and take it. It's time for suppressed people to stand up for themselves."

Lee said the film "Malcolm X'' serves as an example of what black Americans can do when they pull together. Lee received precedent-setting financial support from Bill Cosby, Oprah Winfrey, Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan and others when "Malcolm X" exceeded its $28 million budget. His bond company balked at giving the money to complete the $35 million movie he envisioned.

"Too often we hear that blacks don't support each other, but this was a concrete case of what we can do when put aside our petty differences and work for the common good," Lee said. "It can be done, because we have the money." A lot of us still have that slave mentality,'' he added. , "We're taught to hate ourselves. If you're taught to hate yourself, then you think you're never going to do anything."

Lee says 'no' to black Messiah label April M. Washington The Metropolitan Whether he likes it or not, it appears filmmaker Spike Lee has emerged as a strong voice of black America, but in bis usual to-the-point style, Lee says he's not black America's Messiah, and he's tired of being put in that box.

"I'm just a filmmaker," Lee snapped at reporters Feb. I 0 during a press conference at the Auraria Campus. "I'm not a savior. I don't have the solution to race relations in this country," he said.

The controversial and brash director, producer and actor met with the media hours before he was scheduled to give a speech at the Denver Auditorium. When verbally attacked by one woman reporter during the press conference for visiting Colorado in light of the Amendment 2 boycott, Lee said his being here did not suggest he dido 't support gay rights.

"If I was a skier, I would not have come to Colorado. It's real idiotic to ask me if my being here is saying I'm not supportive of gay rights," he added. "I came because I wa:s asked to speak to a bunch of college students."

Lee, who rose to prominence after

But he stressed that be dido 't want to be known as a filmmaker who only does black stories. Lee said his films try to show the black experience. He added that he thillks it's important for black Americans to tell their own story.

"It's not good to have other people interpret who you are,'' be said.

In his 1989 film, "Do the Right Thing," Lee depicted escalating tensions between blacks and Italians during a hot sum.mer day in a small New York neighborhood. The film registered a blistering attack on race relations and earned him an Academy Spike Lee A ward nomination. cheek.

All that's the Right Thing," he said stroking his been overlooked, and that' s sad."

Social awareness, education director's focus Spike Lee's appearance at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts theater was like a quiet storm. As the snow fell outside on the Denver streets, Lee kept it warm inside with his powerful intellect and electrifying presence.

His message was both to raise social awareness and promote education. Lee spoke about the break-up of the AfricanAmerican family, which was showcased in his film "Jungle Fever." The survival of the family is the starting point to healing the wounds suffered by our society.

The recovery starts at home with a strong family unit, no matter what the circumstances. Lee was also a strong advocate of we as a people telling our own

stories and not letting other people interpret who we are. However, we aren't unified enough to take on major projects;. for example, starting businesses, forming special interest groups, or producing an independent film. Long live Malcolm X, the crowning achievement of years of tears and the deadly struggle of our AfricanAmerican ancestors went through to make it. see DIRECTOR, page 10

METRO CONNECTIONS Dear Metro Connections: I just found out that I have to have major surgery. On top of this stress Is my fear of contracting AIDS from a hospital procedure, such as a blood transfusion or even a contaminated needle that might be used to draw my blood for testing. I know labs and hospitals take precautions now, but I am still afraid. Where can I go to get up-to-date Information on AIDS transmission to help some of my fear?

Spike Lee offers a wake-up call for people to stand together DIRECTOR from page 9 What does the X stand for? Read the book and see the movie.

We must fight to gain control of film, television and media by becoming educated and working together to demand more exposure, therefore becoming seen and heard.

The gay and women's movements have been well documented and highly visible. Are we moving forward or backward? Or both? We are celebrating the three steps forward only to remain unaware of taking two back.

Social tension is at 95 degrees and rising dramatically. The Los Angeles riots were the first of many potential violent explosions. Is this what it takes to

convince our country's leaders that we, the people of all races, genders and ages are collectively tired of being stepped on?

Apparently yes. All people must stand together! Pie in the sky, right? But, still a dream worth believing in and trying to obtain. Fight, fight not with only your hands but with your voice. Educate your mind and the minds of our children. Be responsible for your own destiny.

Lee gives over $800,000 a year in scholarships along with the hope that other young, struggling black men can make it out of the abyss through their own hard work and dedicatiOn. We can give our time and effort to ensure future preservation.

We can' t sum up the life of Malcolm X in a few hours, but we can learn from

the legacy he left behind by reading, writing and speaking out about social and private unjustice we are experiencing.

Lee's formula for success: "A combination of talent, luck, hard work and you can't give up under adverse conditions."

"Malcolm X" is a concrete example of this. The authors who wrote the film, the financial perseverance of Lee and the epic documentation of the man Malcolm X is a tribute to us all. The film is the proof of what we can do if we put aside our differences and reach for a common ground. "Who's to say that I can't go to those people in the future and get financing for my film directly? Bypass Hollywood altogether," Lee said.

Dear Lisa: Overall, the possibility of contracting HIV through blood or blood products is remote. The community blood supply has been screened and t ested for HIV since 1985.

According to the book, Romance to Die For, by Fleur Sack, since 1985, only 18 adults and 2 children have been identified as having AIDS as a result of a transfusion. Put another way , your risk is between 1 in 40,000 and 1 in 250,000 per unit of blood given.

-

Giving blood or blood testing: Standard practice is to use a new, sterile needle for every donor or blood test. F:urther, according to Sack, no one who has ever donated blood has contracted HN for doing so.

Blood transfusions: Sack and her sources estimate the chances of an individual benefiting from blood received in a transfusion as 99 percent. However, even with the advances in testing implemented since 1985, blood transfusions cannot be deemed 100 percent safe.

But keep in mind, transfusions are not used unless they're needed; when the benefit outweighs the risk. It's also helpful to keep in mind that people such as Arthur Ashe had surgery in 1983, before blood testing was available.

Romance to Die For identifies some options you can consider if you don't want to use the community blood supply should you nee9 a transfusions. Two of these options include donating your own blood before your operation and using blood donated by a friend or family member ahead of time.

As for sources of up-to-date information, I mentioned Sack's book, which was published in 1992. You may inquire about it through the Office of Student Affairs or the Metro State Counseling Center. The health center also has current information, such as brochures, offers AIDS testing, and employs an individual in charge of health education - Billi Mauromatis. Also, most medical journals are available at the Colorado Health Sciences Center Denison Library, and these can be accessed through the CARL system at the library on campus.

"I'll Fly Away" provided example of courage FRANKLY SPEAKING SHAWN CHRISTOPHER Cox

Friday evenings will no longer be as enjoyable.

NBC has decided to drop the award-winning television drama, "I'll Fly Away."

This drama was based on life in the late 1950s in a small Georgia town. The overshadowing theme was the struggle for blacks during the civil rights movement.

This struggle was epi,omized by Lilly Harper, a

black housekeeper for a white attorney. Lilly, played

by Regina Taylor, was the heart and soul of the program.

Almost all conflicts and synopses of the civil rights movement came from the words or actions of Lilly. She was one of the most courageous women, black or white, to come to television.

Lilly registered people to vote, was arrested for protesting and boycotting, and was even punched in the face several times by a white man on the way to a protest. Her social conscience portrayed is an ideal for all to follow.

Each episode revealed the agonizing elements in Lilly's life: that of mother, daughter, housekeeper, and路being a black woman.

Yet, she kept fighting. She kept protesting. She educated herself. And she followed her hopes and her dreams.

Of course, each episode did not always revolve around Lilly, but she was the focal point of the program. At the end of each show, her voice would come on as if writing in a journal. During these insights, along with the plot of every show, there was always something to be learned. There was a moral message.

Even though critically acclaimed, "I'll Fly Away" sadly never retained the audience necessary for staying on the air. .

Now all that is left is the memories of a great drama. But, if each person portrays a little of the courageous Lilly Harper, this world would be a better place to live.

Having become attached to the character of Lilly, I feel as if I have lost my best friend.

Lilly - you will be missed.

GUEST EDITORIAL .....

History professor calls crosslisting policy discriminatory, non-viable The Metropolitan welcomes guest editorials from all students , facu lty and staff of the Auraria campus. This week, MSCD history professor Charles Angeletti proposes a crosslisting policy for courses at MSCD.

In the absence of a viable, nondiscriminatory course crosslisting policy at MSCD , I would like to propose to the Faculty Senate Curriculum Committee , to the academic administration at MSCD, and other interested parties that a crosslisting policy be implemented which addresses the real issues involved in crosslisting and n'ot educational philosophy. My suggested crosslisting procedure is based on several premises:

1.

That multiculturalism and

Pie's & Quips

administrative priority;

diversity be celeprated, collaboratively taught and respected within an assimilated, integrated core of courses offered through traditional departments and curricula. Women 's studies should be made into a self-sustaining academic department. All other Institutes should be encapsulated within existing departments . The infusion should be welcomed;

That this educational 3. philosophy rests upon the tacit assumption that the deans and the Office ~f Academic Affairs , in particular, must provide leadership in the development and implementation of policies and procedures that ensure quality multicultural education MSCD across the curriculum by addressing the issues of what our culture is, what is to be taught, how it is to be taught, who is to teach it and how to go about making these decisions.The silence from the Academic Affairs office on these issues is ominous and foreboding signifying ineffectuality and negligence with regard to a most vital academic issue;

2.

That MSCD render a high priority to establishing a procedure and process to ascertain that all students who graduate are well grounded in the multiculturally diverse world that is already here. A token course or two will not suffice. Infusion .and inclusion in the "regular" curriculum is essential for the survival of all and should become an academic and

4.

That the day and time of separate and divisive courses offered and taught by institutes should end (see president's memos) . A Rainbow Coalition is needed in academia - not separate contingents based on a quasinationalism and ethnocentrism which antedates the second half of the 20th Century; 5.

That the day and time of refusing to crosslist a course, or refusing an instructor the right to teach based on arbitrary and personal criteria must end.

My crosslisting proposal deals with issues and concerns that are philosophical , substantive and procedural - an attempt to gain a more accurate understanding of who "we " Americans are and a modest proposal to diminish the specter of divisiveness and cultur~I separation that permeates the life of the mind at MSCD . As Alice Kessler Harris recently wrote ("The Chron icle of Higher Education ," Oct. 21 , 1992) "... (those who are) content to retreat to identify politics that defines isolated groups and cultures within America, seem to welcome fragmentation and deride cultural unity as myth."

The legitimate reasons that led to Institutes at MSCD have long since passed. It is time we go forward with a multiculturalistic approach that strengthens diversity within the common culture that is America by promoting an egalitarian curriculum at MSCO in all existing courses. A multicultural pedagogy which reduces the conditions that produce alienation, lessens academic squabbling and promotes empowerment education and critical teaching for a changing society is direly needed in th~ hallowed halls of Auraria.

The transformative nature of critical learning and democratic discourse could disrupt the status quo and restore the unique function of education to its rightful place in a so- 路 called democratic society. No easy road to travel but absolutely essential if we are to come to grips with the myriad of challenges in the 21st century.

THE METROPOLITAN

Student senator defends Mestnik against attacks Tom Mestnik has recently been the focus of various attacks in The Metropolitan by an assortment of characters who have been given more legitimacy than they deserve because the paper gave it to them. Furthermore, members of The Metropolitan staff have either carelessly or intentionally sought to damage Tom's reputation by reporting information in a one-sided and extremely biased fashion .

First of all, anyone who knows anything about student government is aware of the fact that it is made up of various personalities, representing different agendas and levels of commitment (or lack of) to the student body. The student government constitution is interpreted and reinterpreted and misinterpreted repeatedly by various individuals to meet their own needs.

Personal egos and agendas often take the place of objective rational thinking on the student senate. I have personally witnessed James Norris throw numerous temper tantrums and dominate the business of the senate until he got his way. I've seen him use the constitutional by-laws in contradictory ways to meet his own personal agenda. I was at a senate meeting where he screamed and yelled and brought the meeting to a halt in an attempt to get his way. Interestingly, I never saw these incidents reported in The Metropolitan.

I have also seen Anthony Vander Horst leading the ch.arge against everything and anything but standing for nothing. I have also felt that he played an extremely divisive role, often using The Metropolitan as his stage for his antics.

It really concerns me that The Metropolitan, a newspaper that I help .pay for with my student fees, can be so- subjective, one-sided, lending itself to the credibility of foolish agendas and being used to

maliciously attack the credibility of individuals. My basic assumption and hope is that The Metropolitan is trying to teach it's staff how to report on news (not student senate soap operas) and be objective and truthful.

The attacks on Tom Mestnik degenerated to their worse levels when the Dec. 4, issue featured Katarina Ahlfort's barrage of accusations. This issue was released during finals just as students were getting ready for the Christmas (month long) break.

Tom never got an opportunity to set the record straight before the break. In my own discussion with Tom, he told me that he gave Ahlfort more and different information than appeared in that article when she interviewed him.

The most sinister aspect of the tone set in this article was Ahlfort's attempt to create of villain of Tom by implying that he may have done something improper and that he may have done it because of his Socialist or Social Democratic (she couldn't make up her mind) politics. The article tried to make it seem as though Tom's crusades for the rights of poor people, Chicano, African-Americans, other people of color, women, gays and lesbians, for the environment, against war and for working people of all nationalities, was somehow out of sync with this society.

At the very least, The Metropolitan should accurately and fairly report the news. Personally, I applaud Tom's efforts to raise the political consciousness of people on campus, informing them about injustice and standing for democratic and socialist ideals.

Joe Navarro MSCD Student Senator

Addiction series brings b9oze debate to forefront The Metropoli~an 's current "Addictions" series underlines the importance of utilizing media for the benefit of its intended audience. These articles encourage MSCD students to confront destructive behaviors and develop healthier attitudes. Potently using our campus newspaper to resolve difficult, real human problems exemplifies the highest ideals media can aspire to.

I was especially encouraged by Katarina Ahlfort's Feb. 5, article "Students binge on booze," in which Don Sugar Psy.D. and Anne Hatcher Ed.D focused on the controversy of utilizing The Metropolitan to encourage students use of booze.

These private, off-campus businesses pay for the advertisements. Being a free society, with freedom for all , these businesses ought to enjoy certain privileges of the press. Rigtit? Certainly in our newspaper they enjoy the privilege of trying to get us into their establishments . We 're mature college students though. Certainly none of us ever over drink or have ever been behind the wheel of an automobile drunk. Right? Let's get real! These businesses would not waste their dollars on advertisements if they were ineffective. They advertise in The Metropolitan because it works.

19, 1993

Well , l looked up the ads and sure enough Calvin's on 15th Street suggests a "Calvin Break" if you have "time between classes." They even offer a complimentary buffet. Hey fellow students, listen up; free food, cheap drinks, Happy Hour 4-6 p.m. and all within walking distance. , What more could we stressed out students ask for? Well , if one can do without the food and wants only the relaxation that booze can offer then check out the Hoffbrau Bar & Grill. "TWO FOR ONE MARGARITAS with your Auraria l.D." I assume that the l.D. is important because we are special to the folks at the Hoffbrau.

By way of telephone, Sandy, the Hoffbrau bartender informed me that this "no limits" offer is good anytime of the day. Sandy also claimed proudly that she serves these margaritas in "8 ounce beer mugs. An Auraria l.D. holder can drink as many as you want."

Let's see now... Large drink = 2 shots of tequila. Pay for one, get one free = 4 shots of tequila. Four shots of tequila for a 150 pound person in between classes could amount to one drunk student.

No hate allowed Denver's Daddy Bruce finds joy in giving to Denver's poor Jody Love The Metropolitan Outside a sign reads, "GOD LOVES YOU. IT IS MORE BLESSED TO GIVE THEN TO RECEIVE." On the inside, bumper stickers read "Bill Clinton" and "Jesus Loves You." Artificial flowers lay cluttered on tables. Newspaper clippings and pictures of friendly faces line the windows with a look out onto the street.

You can see orange chairs with the cushioning falling out. The walls are a faded yellow and the counter$ are pink and green. Numerous awards, and letters from former presidents line the walls. There are various signs, among them one that reads,"NO SMOKING" and you see 93year old Daddy Bruce Randolph light up a Winston cigarette.

He is a man who lives by the motto, "It's better to give than to receive."

Most people know him for his generosity of feeding the homeless, but few know the kinds of events that made him what be is today or the touching stories that he has to share. Daddy Bruce continues to live his life to the fullest.

Daddy Bruce grew up in Arkansas and had many step-siblings. When Randolph left Arkansas he moved to Pamper, Texas, where he owned a rooming house, a liquor store and a barbecue restaurant. He also lived in

How did the Daddy Bruce restaurant, which has been in business for 22 years in Denver come to exist? Randolph explained that he knew that he had wanted to own his own business ever since around age 10.

What was it that made Randolph the generous man he is viewed to be by others? When Daddy Bruce was 7 years

old, he had heard of how Santa Claus landed on the roof and came down the chimney to deliver presents. As Christmas Day progressed and he still hadn't received any presents, he thought Santa Claus had gotten lost.

"I looked on the roof and yelled up the chimney," he recalls.

He said that's why he enjoys giving so much - because he never got anything

when he was kid.

"Even if it 's only an apple or something, the littlest thing can mean so much," Randolph said.

Daddy Bruce said Denver doesn't have a hate problem compared to other places he's lived.

"I hate it when that happens," is a common phrase, but closer examination tells us exactly what hate is.

slavery, and it causes a lot of anger," said the Rev: Leon Kelly of the Open Door Youth Gang Alternatives program in Denver.

Kelly works with at-risk youths to try to find alternatives to gang membership.

"They see whites as racists," he said.

"They're the ones they can identify in their struggles throughout history."

So what is a racist?

"Technically, there is no such thing as a 'black ' racist," Williams said. "By definition, to be a racist you have to have access to power. Minorities don't have that power in this country so they can't be racist."

Kelly said that television has a lot to answer for in promoting hate crimes.

"If they (kids) sit in front of a TV and watch hours and hours of violence throughout the day, they'll act out what they're programmed to do," he said.

"Television is a major part of their mind set."

In addition to violence, television life doesn't necessarily mirror real life which in many instances becomes "the haves versus the have-nots."

"Many of these kids are frustrated," Kelly said. "They watch what suburbia has and try to live the American dream, but it's not there. They have a raw deal.

"I try to find out who they are and to get them to feel more secure about themselves," he said. "If they have selfesteem, if they have that, it would put everything else in perspective."

New hate laws spawn reports Annie Calhoun

The Metropolitan The Colorado Bureau of Investigations in 1991 reported that 161 people were victims of 119 hate crimes in the state. The reported incidences through September 1992 almost doubled, showing 301 victims of 196 hate crimes.

Most of the incidents reported to law enforcement agencies around the state in 1992 were for assault and intimidation. But other common offenses were robbery and vandalism of property.

Bobbie Towbin of the Anti-Defamation League said 40 hate crime cases were reported with its agency in Colorado last year-, up two from 1991.

A hate crime is considered to be any criminal offense that is motivated by the offender's bias against the victim's race, religion, ethnicity or sexual orientation.

Towbin said common crimes usually involved harassment, threats or insults.

"Direct, in your face things as opposed to vandalism," she said.

The Hate Crime Statistics Act, a federal law passed in 1990, requires the state's attorney general to begin collecting data on hate crimes.

Existing statistical summaries are broken down by actual incidents, reporting agencies by county and total victims. It is not clear who the targeted victims are or if the rise in reports reflects more awareness, a broadening of hate crime definitions or an actual increase in cases.

Jim Ferguson, Auraria's director of community services, said fewer than six reports have been initially investigated as possible hate crimes in the last few years at Auraria.

A number of factors are considered when investigating a potential hate crime. "One element is if it was bias motivated," he said.

Ferguson credits student diversity with the absence of hate crimes on the Auraria Campus.

"We have not had a case of confirmed hate crime occurring on the campus," he said.

Protesters throw rocks at members of the Klan during the 1991 rally that sparked the controversy over Denver's race relations.

"We have a much deeper division between the haves and have-nots, and people are afraid they will not get their share.

(Social hatred) festers and causes a lot of the hate that is credited to race and gender differences."

MSCD Professor Charles Angeletti Other protesters during the 1991 Klan rally chose to peacefully demonstrate with signs from across the street from the Capitol building.

"I hate to say this, but it seems to be an innate tendency of people to form groups and also feel threatened in some way by those perceived as being different from us."

UCD student Lori Miller "I think 1t (hate) has to do with the breakdown of values in our society. We have become complacent to a large degree, and desensitized to people's individual rights to their person and property. Our society has made us masters at playing 'one-up' everyone wants to feel they are superior to someone else."

Irons turns on and heats up "Damage" Characters self-destruct in Mal/e's new film of sex and emotions

HAPPY HOUR 4-6 P.M. WITH

I* I

-·-=-'

Anna Barton (Juliette Binoche,) and Stephen Aeming (Jeremy Irons) rendezvous for a passionate tryst on a Paris street In New Line Cinema's "Damage" playing at the Mayan Theater.

WORKING FOR STUDENTS WHO WORK FOR US.

UrPS DEll.VERS EDUCATION

Hero Montilla Staff Writer

"Fatal Attraction" introduced movie audiences to a Medusa who spun a web of love and showed us how deadly love and sex could be to the wrong man - at the hands of a woman. This trend of mythicizing the sensual, powerful woman as an evil catastrophe has been further represented in films such "The Hand That Rocks the Cradle" and "Basic Instinct."

"Damage," directed by Frenchman Louis Malle, introduces us to another femme fatale. Anna Barton (Juliette Binoche), victim of childhood tragedy, warms up to a certain male member of British Parliament, which leads to disaster.

At first, the film could be surmised as another suffocating portrayal of a woman with power as dangerous. But as the movie reveals the characters, viewers will find that the lovers are equally selfdestructive.

Anna is a young Londoner who becomes engaged to a journalist named Martyn (Rupert Graves). Anna meets Martyn's father, Stephen Fleming (Jeremy Irons), at a soiree she attends alone and soon becomes "engaged" with him as well. The sparks between Stephen and Anna start to fly immediately, even before they exchange words. They strike up a torrid affair, which is unknown to anyone including Stephen's wife, Ingrid (Miranda Richardson).

Anna is successfully able to address the carnal prerequisites of her affair with Stephen while simultaneously maintaining her more neutral relationship 'w ith her fiance, Martyn. Anna confides to Stephen about the damaged life she has led.

Eventually damage contaminates everyone involved.

Meanwhile, Stephen is coming apart at the seams. Throughout his upper-middle class life, Stephen had become an English bore. With Anna, he begins to grasp not only physical passion but passion for life as well. "I can't see past you," Stephen

says to Anna, after he has laboriously pursued her and Martyn to Paris.

"I don't think you've seen much at all," she tells him. So right she is. The Englishman is unleashed.

"Damage" contains elements that will definitely attract American audiences namely sex. The sex in "Damage" is definitely risque, the kind that might make ....., viewers squirm in their seat, but it gets the point across. Anna and Stephen, when together, are lost without a trace.

This film is about damage and damaged people. Malle did exactly what he should haye done in creating "Damage" which was taken from the 1991 novel with the same name by Josephine Hart.

Vividly apparent within "Damage" is the difference between European actors, specifically the English, and American actors. Binoche is beautiful without being perfect. Most viewers are used to the female excessiveness of the 1980s that is represented by Barbie Doll bodies.

Binoche's rounded stomach and exotic appearance challenges this notion. She commands the screen with confidence and loses herself to the passion that she portrays on screen. She is able to capture the subtlety in Anna's character of the long, deep sadness of her past. Some may remember her in the 1988 film " The Unbearable Lightness of Being" with Daniel Day-Lewis.

Seasoned British performers Irons and Richardson also flaunt their talents. As Stephen, Irons reclaims sex for the middle-aged and makes the transition from stuffy fob to neurotic wild man, a tough task for anyone.

Richardson 's portrayal speaks for itself in a poignant scene when her husband finds her, bloodied and bruised. " I was beating myself," she says. ''The pain was unbearable." " Damage" is meant to pull on the emotions. It is not a pleasant story, but the emotions that do afflict its characters are universal. To an extent, living in this world, we are all damaged people.

In addition to an emerging market economy, people have to contend with the huge difference in wages that exists between the East and the West. " Many people in Slovakia live on $120 a month," Raab said. "The students I spoke to would love to go the West, but they can't afford it."

Loss to DU keeps 'Runners in third place Edward C. Morrow The Metropolitan

-

.. r

The MSCD men's basketball conference lives are hanging by a thread after being blown out by Denver University Saturday, 90-70.

The Roadrunners suffered their second straight beating after being in first place of the Colorado Athletic Conference just two weeks ago. They now find themselves in third place at路 4-3, two games behind front-running Colorado Christian University who is 6-1 in the CAC. The script has been the same in both the CCU and DU blowouts. Shooting below 40 percent, falling behind early and missing free-throws have hurt the 'Runners' comeback efforts.

"We're not executing our offense," MSCD Coach Bob Hull said The Roadrunner's got off to a slow offensive start, taking three minutes to score. DU took advantage of the Roadrunners cold shooting to lead at the half, 44-34.

In the second half, the Pioneers put the Roadrunners in the bonus (a chance to score with the clock stopped). It was just what the doctor ordered. But the Roadrunner's cold shooting spread to the foul line as they missed several front ends of free throws.

" We're not talented offensively and when we are trying to catch up, we have to hit all our free-throws," Hull said.

With the Roadrunners struggling, the Pioneers took full advantage with a great effort at both ends of the court.

"It was our best offensive and defensive effort of the season," DU Coach Dick Peth said .

The Pioneers were led by senior guard Mark Ziegler's 19 points and junior guard Lars Yan Etten, who chipped in with 18.

"We shot the ball poorly at (MSCD), but we did a good job of taking what they gave U!'.," Peth said.

The Roadrunners were led by senior forward Ken Turner's 16 point, 10 rebound performance.

"I took care of my part of the game, and put some quality time out (on the floor)," Turner said.

Turner also had a reason why the Roadrunners have slipped the past couple of weeks.

"During practice we beat the heck out of each other, but in the game we don't do it," he said.

The "baby" Roadrunners' backs are to the wall as they go to Southern Colorado on Thursday without the luxury of losing again and still remaining in the CAC race.

"We will come back on Monday and be ready to fight," Hull said.

To come or not to come: that is the question MSCD students ask themselves about athletic events. The problem is they choose the later as the rule, not the exception.

We here at MSCD are the largest undergraduate college in the country, although you would not know it from the student support the athletic program receives.

"You're missing out on the college experience if you just go home (after classes)," said Doug Montgomery, assistant director of sports information.

Both the men's and women's basketball programs are currently suffering from lack of student participation. The women 's attendance is averaging 347 while the men are getting 510 fans per game.

The main problem seems to be the parking problem.

"It is such a hassle to park at this campus," said men 's Coach Bob Hull. "If we had free parking for events, we would have a lot more students get involved. If the students took the time to come back to campus then they shouldn 't have to pay for parking."

The women 's coach reiterated Hull's comments about the parking.

"I think parking kills us," Darryl Smith said. " I wish we could give kids incentives and we weren't so monetarily driven, if it's Auraria or whoever with

parking."

These are valid issues, but if you are truly behind your school then no matter what the circumstances, you will come and give your school teams support.

Joe Williams, KYBG sports channel's voice of reason, said another reason why the students fail to show up at athletic events is they are too busy studying.

I can understand the plight of the student, but unless I have been misinformed, the athletes are called student-athletes for a reason. They must perform in the classroom as well as in athletic competition. The student athletes must be giving of their time on and off the court. The basketball players at MSCD spend on the average of 10 hours a week in practice while maintaining a minimum 2.0 grade point average.

All they ask of the student body is a few hours a week of support. Is that too much to ask?

For all of you students who need a challenge, here is one that will make me eat my words. If you, the student body, can come out in force during the last three home games played on Saturday Feb. 20, Thursday Feb. 25, and Saturday March 6, an MSCD player of my choosing can give me a military haircut at center court following the March 6 game with Colorado Christian University-if the average attendance is 2,000 of the Events Center's 3,000 seat capacity.

But I'm not worried. All you no-show MSCD students are pathetic.

"I used to hate having to go."
