Staying in school is the only way to survive jn today's competitive job market, and people with colle ge degrees are among the lucky ones who benefit from an improving economy.

"Having an advanced education is becoming more and more essential," said Ben Garcia Jr., senior economist for the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment. "The prospects aren't very good anymore for those who only have a high school diploma."

A recent Census Bureau report indicated that having a college diploma could mean the difference between thousands of dollars a year in extra income. A man with a college education may earn an extra $12,585 a year while college educated women can expect an additional $9,698 a year more than those with only a high school degree. Those with one or more years of graduate study can look forward to an additional $5 to 10 thousand extra a year.

"Getting a degree is the way to go," said Ron Lujan, assistant director of MSCD Career Services. " It's a requirement in the system that will open doors to many opportunities."

And those opportunities may be greater for 1993 grads than they were for last year's graduates. According to the labor department, the national economy will improve and Colorado's economy will be one of the strongest in the nation.

"One of the main reasons that Colorado is doing better is because the construction industry is growing rapidly," Garcia said. "Construction of Denver's new airport is gearing up this year and that is driving. a lot of the job growth. We've also seen a strong growth in services and trades."

Garcia added that data compiled between the second quarter of 1991 and the second quarter of 1992 showed an increase of 42,533 jobs in Colorado's private sector. Much of this growth occurred in computer sciences and engineering.

"The demand is always shifting

but it seems to lean towards civil and environmental engineering," said Harold Zimbelman, professor of civil engineering technology at MSCD. "It's a conservative estimate, but I'd say that over the past few years, we've had in terms of civil engineers 90 percent plus placement."

Zimbelman added that these graduate ' s starting salaries range anywhere from $25,000 to $33,000 a year.

Computer science grads can also look forward to high paying beginning

Trustees of the State Colleges in Colorado applied to Denver District Court Feb. 18 to keep records for applicants of the president's search for MSCD closed.

The Trustees denied The Metropolitan access to the records of the applicants for president of MSCD. Glenn Burnham, president of the trustees and custodian of the search records, in applying to the court requested an injunction hearing to keep the records closed to public inspection. The custodian is responsible for the maintenance and care of the records.

The Metropolitan Feb. 9 requested a time to see the search records, citing Colorado's open records law.

"I am both asking you to withdraw and denying your request," Burnham wrote Feb. 12 in a memo to The Metropolitan. "In my opinion, disclosure of the records' contents would do substantial injury to the public interest."

The Metropolitan refused to withdraw its request stating, "The public interest is benefited when searches are done in the open and not done secretly. Disclosure of the records' contents would not injure the public interest, it would enhance it ...

When searches are done in secrecy until finalists are chosen, people begin to wonder what is being hid."

James Brodell, a journalism professor at MSCD, requested on behalf of that department to see the records Feb. 17. Burnham also denied Brodell access to the records.

Burnham responded :to Brodell Feb. 18: "I believe that disclosure of the candidates ' applications will safeguard the public interest in open government without compromising the competing public interests in attracting the best prospects for the presidency and protecting their privacy rights."

Within the application for disclosure restriction, Burnham said the hearing on the issue would take at least two days.

Additionally, Burnham requested that there be a pre-hearing for clarification. As of Wednesday night, The Metropolitan had not received notice of a court hearing.

Once independent students face dependent status, financial woes Jesse Stephenson The Metropolitan Students who have been considered independent for financial aid in previous school years face a decrease in aicj due to a law passed by Congress last March.

The law, which will be implemented this fall, requires students who don't meet certain criteria to be considered dependent regardless of whether they live at home.

In addition to decreasing financial aid awards given to those considered dependent, the law will require them to submit financial information about their parents.

Under the new law, students must meet one or more of the following criteria to be considered independent: • must be born before January I, 1970 • must have legal dependents • must be a ward of the court or an orphan • must be married • must be a veteran According to Susan McGinley, assistant director of financial aid at MSCD, the law will affect about 700 MSCD students who will have to switch to dependent status.

McGinley points out that legislation has always set specific guidelines in considering students for financial aid.

"This year they just happen to be more strict," she said.

Although the financial aid office has not calculated the actual decrease in aid to those who will be switched to dependent status, McGinley said students who do not live with their parents will still receive

more aid than those who do.

McGinley said Congress passed the law under the assumption that those who do not meet one or more of the requirements for claiming independence are receiving funding from their families.

T h e philosophy is that the family is responsible for paying for college," McGinley said, adding th~t this is not always the case. Donelyn James, right, advises a student In the MSCD According to financial aid office.

Bucks lost over tossed butts Cigarette butts create costly problem for Auraria Annie Calhoun The Metropolitan The money spent each year on smoking-related cleanup around campus could be put to better use if smokers wouldn't drop their cigarette butrs on the ground, .said Dean Wolf, vice president of operations for Auraria "More money would go into a higher level of maintenance on campus," Wolf said. "Sixty to 65 percent of time is spent directly sweeping cigarette butts and cleaning ash urns. We have 11 major buildings, and with the number of people on campus, it kind of puts it into perspective."

Two years ago, Auraria was spending an estimated $55,000 on cleaning and repairs related to smoking. Indoor cleanup costs were figured at $35,000, and $20,000 went toward outside pickup.

Since the ban on indoor smoking went into effect Jan. I , 1991, for all stateo wned buildings, smokers were forced outside. Jim Kelley, division director or Auraria's physical plant, said it now costs about $42,000 for outdoor cleanup. This

money comes out of the physical plant's annual budget, he said.

Kelley stressed that sweeping up at building entrances and around campus is time consuming.

Degree worth it MONEY from page 1 salaries in the range of $28,822 to $31,041, reported the College Placement Council.

"We have fairly good luck in getting people placed," said Earl Hasz, professor of mathematical sciences at MSCD. "I'd say 80 percent of our graduates are working in computer related fields or in graduate school."

While the jobs are there, graduates will have to prepare themselves against those unemployed workers with both job skills and work experience. " One of the factors affecting 路 Colorado grads is the increase of migration into the state," Garcia said.

"Many of these people already have an education, fairly good credentials and a work history which only creates more competition for people just graduating.

All is not lost, however, if you've prepared while in college, Lujan said.

"If you've gained any practical experience in your career while in college, any prospective employer won't see the need to look any further," Lujan said. "A student must be involved in some type of career planning to ensure that. It's never too late to get started."

MSCD alum to defend officer in King trial

-

Lisa Westenskow-Dayley Staff Writer

A police officer, whose acquittal of beating motorist Rodney King last year spurred one of the worst riots in U.S . history, will be defended by an MSCD alumnus.

Michael Stone, who attended MSCD during the 1970 school year, will defend Laurence Powell in Los Angeles Federal Court. A jury that includes two blacks and one hispanic was chosen Monday with opening statements beginning Wednesday. Following is a verbatim interview with The Metropolitan.

Metropolitan: How do you defend the justice system to African Americans who feel they never receive any justice?

STONE: First of all, these officers' trial is suppose to be about whether they are guilty or innocent, but really what's on trial is whether African American citizens cl!" and will expect more equality. If the officers are aquitted, I'm afraid that it will be interpreted as just another sign that black Americans are second class citizens.

If the officers are convicted, then it will be a bittersweet victory for those who want the conviction. In the big picture it's meaningless. These officers are all scapegoats and may be sacrificial lambs to appease years of oppression felt by many black Americans. Trials that are controlled by outside forces - despite the evidence - are the worst kind of justice that we can have.

Metropolitan: Can you tell us what happened?

STONE: We had a convicted felon on parole who was drunk and had been smoking marijuana. He had been speeding over one hundred mph. He stopped at a park where he could run- because he violated parole and didn't want to go back to prison. He exhibited symptoms of PCP intoxication, which is frightening to police because PCP makes someone very unpredictable and gives them super human strength. PCP users have been known to break handcuffs and rip guns out of holsters. When you know you have a duster, you don't get in a position

Professor teaches abroad Wllllam Leslie Johnson The Metropolitan

-"·

After a year teaching in England, MSCD professor Shirley Fredricks returned and shared her adventures in Europe with a crowd of students Feb. 17.

Things people worry about when they go abroad, Fredricks said to more than 40 people in tl}e Student Union, were getting pinched, accosted or robbed. None of these three happened during her travels from Amsterdam to Constantinople, she said. She offered advice to future travelers of Europe.

Travel lightly and wear appropriate clothing, Fredricks said. Fredricks was wearing clothes she wore in Europeclothes she said did not make her beautiful, rich or out of place. She wore a plain, long cotton coat, sensible shoes, a scarf, long shorts and a colorful blouse.

Behind a small mountain of books from all over Europe, Fredricks told some highlights of her trip, specifically her adventures in a Turkish bath.

"You crawl in there (a marble tub), sit for 20 minutes ... The water is just right.

You are nude...Then walked in a fellow," Fredricks said. She had assumed the baths were not communal for both sexes.

The bath attendant began setting up the next part of Fredricks' visit to the Turkfsh baths: skin cleaning and a full body massage, she said.

If her companion had said anything while the bath attendant was massaging and cleaning, Fredricks said, that would have been the end of their Turkish bath.

But a short time later, the attendant was

done and Fredricks squirmed back to the marble tub and soaked.

One of the amazing things about Turkish baths, Fredricks said, was that they were made entirely of marble.

Because of the warmth and softness of the marble, she likened it to how a sculptor describes marble as life.

Because Fredricks closely budgeted her trip to Europe (between stints at teaching in London), she had a more limited selection of food to eat. These included mutton and rice, she said, adding that they made her feel better and lose weight. There were less nutritious foods discovered too, namely Turkish candy.

"I ate a lot of candy until it became disgusting." Fredricks said.

It is easy to travel in Europe if you have $100 for a hotel room or $3,000 for a pre-planned guided trip, Fredricks said.

It's more of a challenge when you are doing it on your own. She said. A tourist has to know where to stay, eat and how to use a telephone, she said. She highly recommended using travel guides.

One of the bad things about the United States is that we are big, rich and have no regard for public transportation, Fredricks said. She traveled on Eurorails on her trips throughout continental Europe. The boundaries of her trip stretched from the Netherlands to Turkey and Norway to Spain.

"It (Eurorail) was rapid, clean and (went) where I wanted to go," Fredricks said. It also took half of a person's trip on • the train to figure out which trains to take so you could get to your eventual destination, she said.

Paynter said the letters pertained to a pending legal litigation and were important items of evidence favorable to his case, police said. The thief either entered the office when it was left open and unattended or by use of a key , police said. Paynter stated that on several occasions he has found the door to his office unlocked and standing open, evidence that someone else has a key, according to the report.

THE METROPOLITAN

Computer myth: They make our lives better Mark A. Sandquist, M.D.

Since their introduction to the business world in the 1960s, computers have been provided to the consum~r with a ready-made myth conveniently installed.

It goes something like this: computers make our lives better.

Aftei: caring for countless painful backs, sore necks, throbbing wrists, bleary eyes and aching heads and hands, I am not convinced of the myth's veracity. Many computer-users suffer from these symptoms. Some of them are notoriously hard to treat.

The problem lies in both overuse and misuse of certain parts of the human body at computer work stations. In fairness to the computer industry, it must be said that these syndromes do not result simply from the existence of computers (we aren't talking about ~lectromagnetic fields here).

Rather, they usually emerge from the combination of poorly designed work stations with any number of the following human factors: poor posture, lack of muscle-toning exercise, long hours of work without breaks, uncorrected visual abnormalities and stress. In other words, take a typical out of shape American, put him or her at a computer keyboard and demand that three months worth of data entry or programming be done in two weeks and you '11 have problems.

You ·can avoid many of these problems by taking some simple precautions. Be certain your vision is appropriately corrected. Look away from your monitor and focus on an object far away at regular intervals (like every five minutes). Adjust your chair down until your knees are at the level of your hip joints or higher. This will align your

pelvis and lower back more appropriately. Adjust your chair back to give lumbar support. Additionally, move your monitor and text so it is directly in front of you and at eye level.

These maneuvers will combine to keep your head balanced on the top of your neck and shoulders. Double-check to avoid the slumped-back, head-bungforward position so many of us assume for work aµd study.

Adjust your keyboard so that youx upper arms hang easily at your side, your elbows are at 90 degrees and your palms may rest comfortably on a support in front of the keyboard, when necessary. Be careful not to fix your palms on this support immovably. Be certain that the position of your keyboard does not require that your wrists be angled backwards in order for you to strike the keys. Relax your shoulders and check occasionally to be certain you are not tightening them up under the strain of your deadline.

If your work station cannot be adjusted and you sp.end long hours working there, then you are a "set-up" for overuse and misuse syndromes. Prevent these by getting away from the work station. Participate in normal human behavior, like running, jumping, walking, swimming and lifting. What you do away from your work station is just as important as what you do at your work station when it · comes to prevention of these syndromes.

So give it a break. The exercise will relieve some of the stress, too. Finally, if you suffer from one of the problems above and they don't resolve with the changes suggested, seek medical care.

Your computer may not be at fault.

METRO CONNECTIONS Dear Metro Connections: I am very concerned about -my roommate. She has been obsessed with her weight and appearance for the past two months. She complains that she Is too lleavy and always cuts herself down. I think she looks great and find It hard to believe that she sees herself as being overweight. Lately, I've noticed that after meals, she'll go directly to the bathroom and run the water the entire time she's In there. I didn't pay much attention to this until one evening I heard her getting sick after dinner. When I asked her about It, she denied It. I have also noticed obvious weight loss and unusual behavior In her lately. I'm worried she may have an eating disorder, but I'm not sure how to confront her with It. I could be making too many assumptions, but I feel she needs help ; What should I do?

Signed, Concerned

Dear Concerned: It sounds as though your roommate

may veiy well have an eating disorder.

The symptoms you described in your roommate are typical of the eating disorder called bulimia. Bulimia is characterized by a cycle of uncontrolled binge eating followed by purging through vomiting or the use of laxatives. Persons with bulimia are often aware that their eating patterns are abnormal and out of control and that their lives are dominated by their eating habits.

Another common eating disorder is anorexia nervosa. This disease is characterized by an all-consuming fear of becoming ~rat." People with this disease begin by attempting a normal diet but gradually end up suffering from rapid weight loss due to undereating. These disorders develop for several reasons, including low selfesteem, anxiety, and a need to gain control over one's live.

Your concern is valid: Here are some guidelines you can follow in bying to help your frtend .

1. Don't nag about eating or not eating. Don't spy. People with eating disorders are already extremely self-conscious about their eating habits.

2. Do be available to listen to the person in times of distress. One of the best ways to help someone gain control over eating is to reach out to 1hat person as a frtend instead of focusing on his or her eating behavior.

3. Do be supportive and encourage the person to get help. Medication, psychotherapy, and nutrition education can all be helpful. Let the person know you care. Don't let yourself be convinced the person really doesn't have a problem. The problem exists, and there is hope.

The MSCD counseling center is one resource for you friend. One of the counselors. Diane Hammerberg, Is especially Interested in eating disorders and has experience in this area.

In addition, you can pick up pam phlets on eating disorders at the counseling center, which is located in CN room 203, or at the health center.

H you would like to submit a question or comment to this column, please drop it by the MSCD Counseling Center, located in CN203. We DON ' T publish names. If you would like a personal response, please include your name and phone number and we'll get back to you.

Former MSCD student defends white officer KING from page 4 where they can grab you.

When King started to go into compliance, he threw off four police officers. At that point the police officers shot him with a taser (darts which cause the breakdown of muscle coordination).

That dropped King but then he was still able to rise to his feet. The officers shot a second set of tasers and he dropped again.

That's where the video starts.

Metropolitan: rnd you expect such devastation after the trial?

STONE: I expected a demonstration but didn't expect the random violence, destruction, killing and arson. I was most

appalled by s~~rnents made by the mayor after the .verdicts were announced. He basically said that this was an unjust result of a white-bread jury in Ventura County.

It was the most irresponsible, disgusting thing an elected politician could say, especially when the city was already starting to burn.

Metropolitan: Have you been threatened?

STONE: I'm not prepared to have someone burst in here, but I have received death threats. Several of the jurors from the previous trial have been maligned and abused.

Metropolitan: How has this affected your practice?

STONE: This case has been a career

buster. I'm not only losing money on this but have had my life completely dominated by it. Meanwhile, my practice dwindles away because I don't have time to work on other cases to keep my law practice going. It's like fiddling while Rome burns. There's nothing I can do yet I'm never going to abandon Larry.

Metropolitan: Do you think Powell can gat a fair trial?

STONE: We hope so but we don't know.

That's what the system is all about. It's an extrodinary case. These jurors have to have the courage to do the right thing regardless of the community opinion. No one in their right mind would want to be OD thaqury.

Free the heel, free the mind KNUCKLEHEAD CHRONICLES

Eric Mccafferty

The snow in the mountains begins piling up at this time of year, making a person's mind wander to the pristine slopes of white, visualizing the open bowls and glade skiing that can only be found in the backcountry of Colorado. A true skiing paradise awaits, and best of all, it's comparatively free.

Junk those step-in bindings and vise-like boots, break your snowboard into splinters, and expand into the world of telemark skiing. The purest form of the snow-shredding sports, the oldest form of steep, downhill conveyance. The direction of the art form.

I became intoxicated with the sport while an itinerant employee at one of the larger Colorado ski resorts. I had skied for years, progressing quickly from rank beginner to proficient, expert bump-runner to super, god-like, tree-basher. Yet something was lacking.

I remember watching the graceful, glorious turns executed by the few telemark skiers who visited the resort and thought, "Yeah, that's the pure form, that's the way;" I soon became transfixed. I began taking lessons from friends who telemark, and with the advantage of free equipment provided to me from a buddy at the ski area ski shop I began my transformation.

Don't get me wrong, friends, it is a very difficult art form to grasp. The grace, the timing, the burning thighs, the all-too-frequent face plants; but I began linking my tale-turns, executing what I call "The Dance." I still ate snow, but for every mouthful, I linked four or five turns, then finally, I skied entire runs without crashing. Nirvana.

The next logical step was to procure my own

equipment and venture into the uncontrolled environment of the backcountry. You know - the death defying skiing of any open glade, bowl or chute. Well, not exactly.

I am not a chicken mind you, quite the contrary, but I do respect my life and my abilities and rarely do I exceed my capacity for skiing and knowing the treacherous slopes to avoid. Remember, the mountains do not care whether you liv~ or die, therefore, the sole responsibility of your life rests with the one who is living it. I take that reasoning seriously, and although risks are involved with every thing we do, we calculate whether or not the risks are equitable. We are intelligent humans; risk taking is what we do. Crossing the street is risky, skiing under a hanging cornice is riskier still, but knowing what we are doing is the key.

For instance, a few weeks ago I was skiing Howard Gulch near the Eisenhower Tunnel. While my girlfriend fed the birds, I broke new trail toward a lake rumored to be "just ahead." My progress was steady and fair, and as I neared the area where the lake was supposed to be I entered a dangerous avalanche-waiting-to-happen chute. Looking up at the slide-prone area, I decided that the frozen lake was not worth risking, especially since there was no one near to dig out my twisted corpse. I made an educated decision not to take the risk. Educated from the surrounding terrain and knowledge of conditions, I skied back to where Beth stood, and happily helped her feed the birds.

A week later, I learned that the chute in question did in fact slide, right in front of two friends who saw the whole tremendous event. They watched at a safe distance, and we all survived to perform "The Dance" again.

In light of the recent deaths in the backcountry, it's important to remember that mountains do not kill people, stupidity kills people.

LETTERS College Republicans proliferate hate, says Pres. Mestnik The Metropolitan's Feb. 19 edition focused on a . cross cultural look at "Hate". To find a hub of the proliferation of hate, ignorance and fear, one need look no farther than Auraria's College Republicans.

Recently, during an on-campus debate over the issue of gays and lesbians in the military, Joel Leggett and other College Republicans displayed a "Storm Troopers of the Religious Right" banner behind their table. While this declaration combining violence with intolerance turns off most Americans, the College Republicans cannot be shrugged off as fringe fanatics.

According to Sara Diamond, author of Spiritual Warfare, "there are over 30 million Americans who prescribe to some or all of the Religious Rights politics." The rights of gays and lesbians has become a main issue used to bind together all aspects of the Far Right.

The Republican Party staged seven anti-gay speeches at its national convention last summer,

says Advocate columnist Donna Minkowitz, because party strategists banked on voters "quaking in terror" at lesbian and gay political successes. (Progressive, March 93) In Time Magazine, Molly Ivans-called the convention a feast of hate and fear .. .all done for political purposes. It was there, it was real, and it was what that convention was all about.

With Joel Leggett and other College Republican Brown Shirts taking pride in being "killing machines" cloaked in righteousness, it is not surprising to see an 800 percent increase in hate crimes, including five murders, being directed against gays and lesbians in Colorado. (according to the Gay and Lesbian Community Center of Colorado) Those who see diversity, tolerance and freedom as positive aspects of American society must not sit idly by while the "Storm Troopers of the Religious Right" put forth their programs of hate.

MSCD's transfer policy fails to make grade There must be a better way to gain a college education than MSCD. In 1975 I transferred to MSCD from University of Colorado - Boulder a senior with 13 hours of graduate aerospace engineering. I needed two semesters of psychology and I was through. However, faculty kept canceling classes. Professor Robert Schneider of Psychology told me to go to the University of Denver. So I did. I got out of there faster with a B.S. in Chemistry and minors in mathematics and biology than I could have at MSCD. I took all freshmen courses and physical chemistry. I had to work 12 hour days to do it in organizational and personnel management, but it was worth it. Dr. Gareth Eaton was one of the Nobel Prize laureate Lipscomb's pupils at MIT. Eugene R. Weiner from Johns Hopkins is one of the regional MCAT test writers, Ray Hefferl ine , of NASA (Physics), was another. Too bad I was not going to medical school. I still am headed for law, but I need to get a M.S . in engineering or an M.A. in psychology. I plan to go to DU Night law school and work days.

So here I am again at MSCD and they changed the undergraduate program. Without Edward Karnes, there is no undergraduate industrial engineering degree. It is who one knows that gets one the job, and what one knows that helps one keep it. There is an old saying: "Them that can 't, teach."

I have only one suggestion : "Go to the state legislature and lobby for social change. Most 18 year olds are tax payers and voters. Auraria Higher Education Center exists only because the state makes money on day care and parking. You and your colleagues have to decide on what you want out of college: an education or a job. This school will not give both. Engineering is the only profession whereby work experience only can count. Others such as medicine, pharmacy, accounting (CPA), medical technology, and law require the diploma.

I have to either change schools or change majors, because I have run out of upper division credits. MSCD uses only 90 transfer credits for graduation. Many transfers end up taking four years to get out. Every school has its "bread and butter" courses that all students must take to keep the school in the black. Core courses will not transfer. I am admitted into the college but every single course I tried to register for is canceled or closes.

If I was 21 years old again, I would petition for a guaranteed graduation on the bulletin of courses underwhich a t ransfer matriculates or does his contract major/minor on. Every time the catalogue changes the school downgrades because there arc no graduate students. If there are no graduate students, then why are the faculty not better? Japan, India, France, and United Kingdom have better qualified, more student-friendly professors, because their students hold the faculty posts in American universities and corporations that 1..J.S. citizens used to hold. Now is the time for all concerned parents to compare schedule of courses and alumni. If I had the money, I would have gone to Texas A & M or Baylor, but I do not. Scholastic funding is going to the foreign graduate student {male) in 1993.

The winding, marbled staircase in the St. Francis Interfaith Center leads to cluttered offices, noisy classrooms and smiling students completing assignments, talking or just having fun in an open lounge area.

Students from 20 to 25 countries can be found roaming the halls and filling the classrooms. Most of the 85 students are Asian, coming from Japan, Indonesia, Thailand, or Korea. There are also Arabic, European and a spattering of Spanish-speaking students.

It really doesn't matter what country they are from because classes are conducted in English, Gaunt said.

"We offer courses in grammar, reading, writing and listening/speaking," Gaunt said Students also take module classes in the afternoon.

One answer is simply "capital" - the need to make money.

Virgil Grillo, a professor of film studies at the University of Colorado at Boulder, said, "Hollywood producers gear their whole production scheme to making money."

Hollywood is also lacking in the creativity department. Sequels to box office hits, or even small cult successes, have become an assumption, not an option.

"The Amerkan film industry is bankrupt for ideas," Movshowitz sfild.

The definite conclusion from analyzing these films, therefore, is tQ learn to stomach the subtitles and avoid American remakes.

"Who are they kidding? They need European settings for these movies," said Jan Delasara, professor of English at MSCD. The question remains as to why semitalented American filmmakers and directors even attempt to remake foreign films.

CCD student makes pro debut in ring

Little Stevie Johnson (right) delivers a fierce uppercut to Frank "The Force" Cordova (left) In the second round of his professional debut.

Chris Austin ~ports Editor

-

"And in the blue comer-weighing in at 140 pounds and wearing red, white and blue trunks-making his pro debut in. front of a hometown crowd-Denver's own Little Stevie Johnston."

The crowd of 6,000 at McNichols Sports Arena is on its feet as the opening bell sounds, marking the start of CCD freshman Stevie Johnston's first fight as a professional. His opponent is Frank "The Force" Cordova, a 137 pound junior welterweight.

Johnston comes out of his comer fighting cautiously and waiting for a hole in Cordova's defense.

The bleacher coaches offer their advice: "The body don't move, Stevie. Go to it!"

"Come on Stevie, this guy is nothing."

Johnston responds to the hom.e crowd's cheers, delivering a rapid combination of punches with 15 seconds left in the first round. One punch is delivered directly to Cordova's nose. When the bell sounds, Cordova staggers back to his comer, and the crowd booms its approval.

"I think I broke his nose," Johnston told a crowd of reporters after the fight. "I gave him a stiff jab in the first round and felt my knuckles on his face. When I felt that, I thought 'fights on,"' he said grinning.

The 20-year-old fighter graduated from Manual High School "right on time, barely." As boxing took him around the country and to Cuba for the Pan-American games, Stevie took a tutor along to help him with his studies. Johnston was awarded the silver medal after he lost the decision 22-19 against Hector Veneja, the Cuban who went on to win the gold in the 1992.0lympics.

Johnston almost had an opportunity for a rematch with Veneja in the Olympics. All three judges awarded the Olympic trial fight to Johnston, but the computer scoring system gave the decision to his opponent.

"It is bard for a boy to train his entire life for something and then have it taken away from him," said Bob Fox, Johnston's manager.

"After the Olympic trials, I considered giving up boxing," Johnston said. "Through all of my amateur career, my goal was to make it to the Olympics. When that was shattered, I went through a hard time for about eight months. But now everything is starting to fall into place."

Cordova comes out fighting in the second round.

Johnston is ready for him. Johnston puts Cordova against the ropes several times. Cordova starts clinching Johnston, using him as support. Both the crowd and Johnston sense that the fight belongs to the Denver native.

"About a minute into the second round, I knew he wasn't going anywhere," Johnston said.

Little Stevie Johnston made his professional boxing debut Feb. 16 In the Rumble of The Rockies at the McNichols arena.

Johnston won the bout by technical knockout in the third round. (left)Johnston walks with his uncle (right) toward his first professional fight. (right) Johnston relaxes before the beginning of his first bout.

Photos by Dominic .Chavez

Training takes up much of Stevie's time. He plans on majoring in business, but admits that boxing is the priority of his life right now. In his first college semester, Stevie is taking algebra and English.

"I've missed a lot of class because I have been so busy training for this fight," Johnston said. "I want to stay· with boxing wherever it can take me now. I want to be Junior Welterweight Champion. I want to be champion of the world."

Cordova spends most of the third round trying to escape the punishment Stevie is dishing out. When the bell sounds, Cordova is barely standing. The referee checks with Cordova's comer; he announces Johnston as the winner. At first the crowd boos, thirsty for the home , town boy to get a knock-out. When Stevie's hand is raised in victory, the crowd is on its feet in recognition of a new hero.

Stevie is all grins in his locker room after his triumphant debut. He handles the slew of reporters anxious for a quote from Denver's newest professional like a seasoned veteran.

"This is something else, man .... something else," Stevie said. "This is how I would have felt if I would have brought home the gold-and I would have . I really appreciate everyone coming out to support me. I never felt anything like this in the amateurs."

"This was our Olympics," Fox added.

After their dragging lO min'utes of the first half, the 'Runners went on a 17-2 run, sparked by eight points by Cindy Dalton.

The 'Runners went up 46-28 at half-time and continued to pull away in the second half.

Even though Roberts said she feels Fort Lewis is not a very good team, the victory still brought the team back up.

"It just helped us realize that we can do it as Jong as we do the right things," she said.

The 'Runners will definitely have to do all the right things when they play the University of Colorado--Colorado Springs (UCCS) at Auraria on Thursday night.

The 'Runners Jost to UCCS on Jan. 27, but the 'Runners need a victory this time to tie UCCS for second place in the CAC and still have a shot at a bid for the NCAA tournament.

The Roadrunners did their best rendition of the Bee Gees by "Staying Alive" in the Colorado Athletic Conference race last week.

With two wins that were spurred by a record-setting performance and a lineup change, the Roadrunners (6-3) remained two games behind front-running Colorado Christian (8-1).

The Roadrunners finished the week with Lenin Perkins' first triple double in the history of MSCD men's basketball.

Perkins had a night that will put him in the Roadrunner annals by scoring 18 points, pulling down 10 rebounds and dishing out 11 assists to lead the Roadrunners over Fort Lewis 111-103.

"I'm just trying to keep the tradition going," the junior guard said.

Perkins led an impressive offensive display as six players scored in double figures and two others just missed with nine points each.

"We played good team basketball and played unselfish ," said Coach Bob Hull said.

The two wins were propelled by the return of a missing ingredient--solid perimeter shooting--as Greg Balman got his shooting eye back in the nick of time.

Balman scored 14 points while going 3-8

from the three-point line against Southern Colorado, then backed that up with 18 points against Fort Lewis.

"I stayed after practice to work on my jump shot, and that has helped my game," the junior forward shoot. "I'm shooting strong and not being so hesitant."

After four straight losses, Hull decided before the USC game to start senior forward Ken Turner and junior guard Chuck Hancock. This line-up gives the Roadrunners more defense and experience on the floor to start the game.

Turner has responded by averaging 16 points and pulling down 6 rebounds per game since receiving the starting nod. " I feel more comfortable starting," Turner said. "I get into the flow of the game better.""

The other new starter was put in to stop Joey Haythom, who scored 31 in the first meeting. Hancock rose to the challenge by holding the CAC second leading scorer to 11 points.

"My goal was to stop Haythorn," Hancock said. "I made him frustrated."

Hancock brought more to the table than just defense with his average 12 points per game and season-high 17 points against Fort Lewis.

The win over Fort Lewis extended the Roadrunner streak to 26-0 when MSCD scores more than 100 points.

Owens returris hom·e ._

Edward C. Morrow The Metropolitan

Tom Wolfe wrote "You can't go home again." It was not meant for Pueblo 's Andy Owens, as he looked .I forward to returning home on Feb, 18. ~ In his second trip home, sophomore forward Owens opened up the game with two blocks in the first couple of minutes, but foul trouble sidelined him for most of the first half.

He bounced back in the second half to • finish the game with 5 points 4 rebounds and three blocked shots, while altering several others. " L a ·s t year I was playing better," Owens said.

"Last year I was just ~ AndyOwens playing, while I'm thinking more this year."

In his first trip back to his home town last year, Owens#was nervous before the game, he said. His nerves didn't show in his play, as he scored 10 points and pulled \- down 6 rebounds. " It gets me more excited to play in front of them (Pueblo residents), because they don't get to see me all that much," Owens said. "I want to do good in front of them." t- -

MICHAEL

Owens' father is glad for the chance to see his son play.

"I feel good about seeing (Andy) playing well," Ansley Owen said. "As the years go on, he's progressing all the time."

Owens' father said Southern Colorado didn't give Andy what was best for him so he moved on to MSCD "I lived in Pueblo all my life," Owens said. "I just wanted to get away."

Owens enjoys returning home and giving his family and friertds the opportunity to see him play.

"They pump me up when they call out my name," he said in reference to the support he gets when he comes to Pueblo.

With the knowledge of his return his teammates were relentless in joking about Pueblo.

"Is this Pueblo?" asked senior forward Ken Turner after awakening from a nap on the bus. "I don 't see any Indians," he jokingly added.

The first view several of Owens' team.mates got of his home town was two cows in a holding pen at the Massari Arena, for the half time cow milking contest. Several of Owens' teammates told him what they thought of Pueblo, by saying "Nice town, Andy."

He took the ribbing in stride and accepted it as a part of the game. _"I'm proud that I'm from Pueblo and it's a great town,:• Owens said.

For Owens, Pueblo will always be a part of this shy young man no matter ·where he is living.
