Pride

Angered faculty wants IAC back Teachers want voice in picking next president Jeff Williams The Metropolitan

The MSCD faculty senate passed two resolutions March 17 in an open meeting concerning the anger and confusion over the State Board of Trustees' decision to halt the search for a new president of MSCD. The senate voted to ask the trustees to reinstate the Institutional Advisory Committee, which was disbanded by the trustees, and that any search be done with full compliance of Colorado laws.

The trustees decision to halt the search came after a list of candidates for the job of president of MSCD was printed in The Metropolitan . This followed a month long battle between the newspaper and the trustees over the public's right to know the identity of the candidates.

The trustees had planned to bar The Metropolitan from seeing applicant's records at a court bearing scheduled for March 17, but the hearing was canceled after the trustees suspended the search.

Some members of the senate expressed anger over what they believe to be the trustees' assumption that the IAC leaked the information. "It's possible the trustees, and not the IAC, are responsible for the leak," said Tom Seville, a professor in the psychology department.

"That sure gets them off the hook for the

lawsuit. By canceling the search, the rest of it is obviously moot."

Tom Mestnik, president of student government, agreed.

"I feel the reason the search was canceled was not because of The Metropolitan but r-~~~~~~~-. beca~se the list of 10 names we (the IAC) submitted were not what the trustees wanted," Mestnik said.

Glenn Burham, Glenn Burnham president of the trustees, did not attend the meeting and could not be reached for comment. He did, however, tell Stuart Monroe, of the computer management science and Susan Josepher information systems department and member of the faculty senate's executive committee, that he's "open to suggestions and wants input on the search for the president of MSCD." The senate itself was split on how to handle the suspension of the search, with some calling for a vote of " no confidence" in the trustees and Burnham, while others wanted to somehow move forward with the search for the president.

Susan Josepher, chairwoman of art education and member of the now defunct IAC, was one of the leading voices of those who wanted a "no confidence" vote.

"We have been treated in a disrespectful manner. I think we have been purposely crossed out of it. We should not take this lying down," JosepJtr told the crowd.

Kerstein Keith, MSCD chairwoman of student activities, asked the senate not to "treat the students in the same way the board of trustees has treated the faculty."

The Metropolitan also defended its position.

"They wanted to pick the fight," said Joe Chopyak, copy editor of The Metropolitan. "Calling off the search is their way of striking against the students and against the faculty. To point the finger at the IAC is a slap in the face of a lot of hard working people."

Charles Allbee, an MSCD English professor, disagreed.

"The trustees had a legal right and responsibility to do what they did," Allbee said. "It's clear the tooth fairy didn't slip the list under Shawn Christopher Cox's (the editor in chief of The Metropolitan) desk. My experience has been that when people leak information, they leak it with something to gain."

Norman Provizer, MSCD political science chairman, was pleased with the outcome of the meeting. " I thought the resolutions were appropriate. I understand the people being upset, but I don't think it's good to vent frustration without a purpose. " We don't control the Board of Trustees," he added. "They are over us.

You would hope to have a good working relationship."

Trustees dismiss 'I A.C Mestnik calls for open searches Katerina Ahlfort Staff Writer

When the names of 13 applicants for the MSCD presidency were printed in The Metropolitan March 12, the Trustees of The State Colleges in Colorado decided to do without the MSCD advisory committee, which was involved in the presidential search.

According to the advisory committee co-chairwoman, Liz Friot, some members of the group now feel personally accused of being the ones who leaked the information to the public.

"Many feel very hurt in that their integrity bas been questioned," Friot said.

"I think it was unfortunate that the names were released. But the trustees' action was unnecessary," she said, adding, "I think we could have continued on and not halted the search at this time."

The Institutional Advisory Committee has, since October, worked on selecting their choice of the top 10 presidential candidates, reading through the more than 60 applicants' resumes.

The MSCD Classified Staff Council ::;..._\

has, according Jo Romero, president of the council, signed a letter to the trustees in support of the advisory committee being kept in place.

Romero said the dismissal of the committee was like "throwing the baby out with.the bath water."

MSCD student government President Tom Mestnik was a member of the IAC. "We all have spent hours and hours on the search," Mestnik said. "We were doing very serious work. and even though we were only advisors, we thought our input would be valued." ¡Mestnik said the trustees "need to realize that different communities have to be involved in a meaningful and genuine way," in the search for a new MSCD president.

"All of this should be a learning experience that sets an example. All searches should be kept open," Mestnik said.

Trustee chairwoman Anne Steinbeck said the trustees regret the course the events have taken but added that the search needs to be kept strictly confidential.

Tom Mestnik "The confidence of the candidates cannot be violated again or we'll never have a president appointed," Steinbeck said.

The list of the 10 presidential candidates the advisory committee recommends will, according to Friot, be submitted to the trustees. Steinbeck said the trustees have yet to discuss what emphasis to put on the list.

"My personal feelillg is that the list certainly would be examined and considered in our search for a president," Steinbeck said.

NOTE : Each team of candidates was asked to submit a statement about why they were running for office. The statements are printed as they were submitted and were not edited.

Marcus Dunn, President Rayna Booker, Vice president Rayna and I would first like to thank Tue Metropolitan for yielding a valuable section of this paper. We would also like to thank the instructors who have facilitated our efforts in reaching as-many students as possible.

Student issues- most students are unaware. Most students can't name one student senator or the president of their student body. Most students do not realize they pay into a $70,000 student government budget.

Almost every day Rayna and I hear a lot of talk (from the present student government) about apathy on this campus but see no action. We believe the members of student government have a role in identifying who they are and what they do.

Our campaign theme is "Rebuilding the role of student government." Our platform is focused on pride, one important element this college lacks. As students, we have very few annual events.

Student government must have a role in establishing pride within its students or student government should just disband and give the $70,000 back.

Rayna and I want to activate a representative student government. As it stands, the number one policy making body is the student senate, comprised of 25 at-large members. These at-large senators represent nobody other than their closest friends. Rayna and I would like to change the standing system.

Rayna and I h~ve proposed the idea of student represeI1tatives from educational departments. This particular proposal would require each department to develop its own student government or democratic system. That system would then elect student senators.

Another solution could be student senator identification. If we kept the present at-large system, student senators would be required to wear some sort of

Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board Candidates:

I.D. on their person. This way students will be able to easily recognize student government members.

Another issue that concerns Rayna and I is that the student government produces no tangible benefits . Our platform includes the implementation of a monthly scholarship award to return something to the students.

Campus safety is something that is easily cured but often overlooked. Rayna and I would actively encourage the placement of call boxes on the Auraria campus. When parking in a far lot on campus, students and faculty should not have to sacrifice safety. Emergency call boxes would enhance the existing service the Parking and Transportation Center provides. Those services being the Handivan and Nightrider programs as well as auto assistance.

Our campaign theme is "Rebuilding the role of student government."

Our platform is focused on pride, one important element this college lacks.

Having an inclusive student government is the key to a successful student government. In the student government of Rayna and Marcus all ideas would be welcome.

Obviously, many of our proposals will not be implemented overnight. But by forgoing the glory of today we may instill the affluence of the future. Let's put MSCD on the map and Rayna Booker and Marcus Dunn in student government.

As an endnote, we will not be producing hundreds of wasteful flyers.

Our campaign material is 100 percent recycled or recyclable. If you have any questions, please call 575-1785. Thank you for your support.

Marcus and Rayna, "Rebuilding the role of Student Government."

Student Trustee Candidates: (Vote tor 1) * Matthew Bates

Barb Ferrill, President Lucian LeMak, Vice president "No taxation without representation!" Students must be involved in making decisions at Metro.

Institutions of higher education are much more than just the producers of education which students buy. MSCD is our community in which we spend a great deal of our time, energies and money.

Student government is the main vehicle whereby students participate in the decision making that determines the policies and conditions under which we live and obtain our education - and how our money is ·spent. It is important because the interests and concerns of administrators are often not the same as those of students.

If we are elected, we will increase student participation in college decisionmaking by getting strong student advocates on committees such as the Library Advisory Committee, the Parking and Transportation Advisory Committee and many others that make decisions which affect students.

We will also make sure students have more control over their student fees.

Students pay over $200.00 per semester to fund various student programs and services. We have seen more and more student control and oversight of these programs taken away over the years and we want it back. These programs are meant to serve students, and students are the best equipped to decide how their needs should be addressed and how their money should be spent.

To help accomplish this, we put several referendum questions on the student government election ballot which deal with student control of student fees.

There are seven (7) referendum questions in all; pick up a fact sheet and be sure to vote on them.

We also have some specific goals we would like to accomplish, such as getting published faculty evaluations, an RTD bus ridership program, a deferred tuition policy, reforming the student grievance process, increasing the recruitment and retention of people of color and making the Tivoli a Student

have it.

Student voices must be heard at the state and national level as well. We have both worked with the Colorado Student Association (CSA) and the United State Student Association (USSA) to get more funding for higher education and financial aid, and to g~t a voting student position on the Board of Trustees.

If we are elected, we will increase student participation in college decision-making by getting strong student advocates on committees ...

We have both been active on campus since we began here as student and have shown our commitment to making a difference at Metro. Barb worked with the Colorado Public Interest Research Group (CoPIRG) for 2 1/2 years, 1 1/2 as the Chair of the State Board of Directors, served as Vice President for Campus Affairs for the Colorado Student Association, worked in student government for 1 1/2 years as the Chief of Staff and presently as the Student Representative to the Board of Trustees. Barb is a recipient of the 1993 Giraffe Award and the "Natural Helper" award. Lucian has been an active student Senator for 3 years and has served on the Student Affairs Board (SAB) for two years, one as its chair. He has also served as the Vice President for the Student Organization for Alumni Relations and is presently serving as Senator, Parliamentarian, Chair of the Campus Safety Committee and Faculty Evaluations Project Director. Lucian is a recipient of the 1992 Giraffe Award and a three-time winner of the "Natural Helper" award.

We want to make this campus accountable to students and to make sure students are a part of making the decisions that affect them. Elect Barb Ferrill and Lucian LeMak and let your voice be heard! (Please pick up a flier to learn more.)

AHEC budgets $136,500 for lobbying services Annie Calhoun The Metropolitan

I •

Auraria has allocated up to $45,500 a year for three years from the administration budget to retain the lobbying services of a local firm.

Members of Auraria's board of directors awarded another three year consulting contract to Colorado Legislative Services, Inc., a company whose services include lobbying for higher education institutions.

"It monitors legislation that might affect the campus," said JoAnn Soker, executive vice president for Auraria's administration, adding that most state . agencies have lobbyists.

Saker said the proposed annual cost for the lobbyist will not exceed $45,500.

"The 'not-to-exceed' figure is probably a little higher than ~-~ expected," she said. "They bill us on an hourly basis."

Last year, Auraria spent $10,000 for the lobbying service.

"Before it was for monitoring because we didn't have any JoAnn Soker legislation in," she said. "Because we have legislation in, it certainly will be more than that:" Two amendments passed last November by Colorado voters are expected to impact Auraria's operations.

Amendment 8, which uses Colorado lottery proceeds for parks and open space projects, will have a long term effect on Auraria Campus, Saker said.

"The money could be used for new buildings," Saker said.

Before Amen-dment 8, about half of lottery proceeds went toward capital construction for state institutions.

Budget rest-raints on higher education from Amendment I will also have an impact on Auraria Roberta Miiller, director of Auraria's support services, said Auraria received seven responses to the request for a lobbyist.

Respondents were asked to submit a proposal, which was partially judged on experience and background in higher ed11cation.

"There aren't that many people experienced in lobbying and higher education," Miller said.

Colorado Legislative Services bid $65 an hour, which was about the standard rate, Miiller said. In a letter to all the respondents, it stated that "the awarded proposal \\'.as evaluated as being the most responsive and cost effective to Auraria Higher Education Center's needs ..."

The general responsibility of the lobbyist is to monitor the legislation affecting Auraria, which includes reviewing and analyzing current issues arid assisting and advising the board of directors on legislation.

"They need people up there working with you and taking care of your needs," Miiller said.

Professors afraid violent students lurk in their classrooms STALKERS, from page 1 said other students overheard the disgruntled student in a break room say that she was going to "kill the teacher."

"People were scared for my safety," the professor said. "It was more than just yelling. I was afraid for awhile."

What concerns this instructor is that people who behave in this way are earning degrees from MSCD. "As a school we need to look at that," she said. "We need to be proud of our graduates."

The stUdent continued to attend class and sit in her usual seat in the front row,

acting as if nothing happened, the instructor said.

"She was talking to me and asking me questions," she said. "I was put in the position of being professional (to her)."

After the incident, the professor contacted Auraria Public Safety. She said two classes later, she saw a campus police officer peak through the window of the classroom door, but he did not enter.

During the Faculty Senate meeting, other professors wanted to know if APS had to see someone actually do something violent in a class before a teacher could have them removed.

Jim Ferguson, director of community

services for Auraria, later during an interview didn't comment on this particular incident but said the professor is in charge of the classroom.

"They have the authority to tell someone to leave," he said, adding that students have rights too.

In a situation where the student is considered to be acting aggressively, Ferguson said APS usually takes the instructor's side.

"Public Safety will reinforce that, but they would take a look at the total situation," he said. "It depends on the circumstances."

The instructor said she dido 't

complain to anyone else about the event.

"I just know how the bureaucracy works," she said. "If I wanted to get her kicked out of the class, it wouldn't be worth the battle to do it."

As a result of this incident, the most important issues for this teacher, she said, is the message it gives to students that this is acceptable or appropriate behavior.

"There won't be any consequences and the faculty isn't getting support from the school, which affects morale," she said.

Editor's note: This is the first of a two part series on aggressive behavior toward faculty at the Auraria. The identity of the teacher in ~his story was withheld for safety reasons.

The MAC light rail line is under construction

Here's what you can expect Generally, construction will be limited to three-block stretches of a street. Streets will remain open to veh icles and pedestrians during construction - you will still be able to get to all of the busi nesses and parking lots in the construction zones, but there will be some inconveniences.

All of the preliminary work is just about done, all of the rail is in town and we're ready to start building Denver's first modem light rail line, the Metro Area Connection or MAC. The MAC represents evolution, not revolution. It uses refined, reliable, proven technology. Beginning in 1994, the MAC will carry more than 4 million people per year over 5.3 miles. It's modem, comfortable transit.

• Mid-March through mid-April From the 16th Street Mall to 19th Street: two traffic lanes on the left-hand side of the street will be open during rush hours. one lane at other times.

RTD and our contractors are doing everything we can to make the construction period as painless as possible. Besides all the normal lrnffic control signs, barrels, arrows and tlaggers, look for special MAC signs to help you maneuver around and through the construction. Whether you're in your car or on foot, the signs will direct you to businesses and parking in the construction zones.

Irish and Yanks battle over Supreme Court

· h de ba teS brl·ng IrlS heat Of argument tO • Aurana Hero Montilla Staff Writer

Crass·or ignorance bas never stood in the way of an Irish debate team, said Gavin Titley, one of this year Irish debators. So right he is. .

This year's Friends of the ~rish Debate Series dealt with a very American topic - the selection process of Supreme Court justices - and the Irish argued for the current system like they were native born.

'I could be wrong. I've been wrong before. But it was a mistake.'

-Gavin Titley Irish debator

"We've come here to defend your justice system," Titley said.

Tilley, along with Brendan Foley and Kieran Healy, comprised this year's Irish debate team.

Of course, MSCD students James Tyler Chafee, David Rapp and Kari Vasby, certainly gave the Irish a run for

theirmoney.

"Bl inky the Clown could be a Supreme Court justice," Rapp said.. .

The MSCD team spent their time arguing against the current selection process of supreme court justices.

This provocative but thoroughly entertaining hour-long event took place on St. Patrick's day in the Auraria student union.

Each debater was allowed an eight minute constructive speech, as well as three minutes of cross-examination of and by the opposing team.

The MSCD team defended its stand on the issue by arguing that qualified nominees are not in the running to be Supreme Court justices.

"The caliber of justices is failing," Chafee said in his opening speech.

The MSCD team also argued that too many times non-political factors, such as money, influence politicians and possibly the selection process of Supreme Court justices.

"If you scratch my back, I'll make you Chief Justice," Rapp said.

The Irish team, on the other hand, defended the integrity of the Supreme Court and the selection of its justices.

"Stick with what you have, ladies and gentlemen," Healy said.

The quick wit and humor of the Irish team managed to keep the audience rolling throughout the debates.

"I could be wrong," Titley said. "I've been wrong before. But it was a mistake."

METRO CONNECTIONS Dear Metro Connections: I will be graduating this spring, and I am scared to death. Now that spring break ls over, I am reminded that I will graduate in just a few short months and that I will be sending out resumes and interviewing for ·jobs. I have put together my resume and had it checked by my advisor. I can also write good cover letters. But I am very shy. and I ani afraid that some of these people will want to interview me. This makes me so nervous, I can hardly think. I'm afraid that I will go to an interview and that everything I've learned during my five years at Metro will just go right out of my head and I will not be able to talk about what I know. It's getting ~ne the closer graduation comes. I know what I want. It's just a matter of convincing an employer that I am what they want or need. But for me, this ls the hardest part! 18 there any way to avoid the Interview process altogether?

Pee-ka-boo On March 10, an Auraria police officer saw two men urinating on the front steps of the Tivoli, according to a report.

Both men were wanted on outstanding warrants, police said. Andrew Terry and Paul Bills were taken into custody, the report said.

Warrant arrest On March 13, Auraria police reported that while investigating two broken car windows in Tivoli lot A, officers noticed a marijuana pipe in the ashtray of a gray Suzuki. One of the passengers, Jacob

Hicks, was wanted on an Adams County warrant, the report said. Police confiscated the pipe and took Hicks into custody, according to police.

Art opening An Auraria employee reported to police that she found a damaged lock on the door to Arts Room I 99 on March 10, police said. An MSCD art student told police that her class was having an art display in the room, the report said. The student told police that when the display was over and the door was locked, several of the students realized they had left some of their things in the room. When they

tried to use a key the professor of the class provided, they discovered the locks bad been changed and then attempted to pry the door open, police reported. Police estimate the damage at $35.

Theft A word processor was stolen from the Student Union between March 11 and 12, according to a police report. Treencha Hoekstra, an Auraria employee, told police she locked the word processor in a cabinet on March 11 . Police reported there was no sign of forced entry.

Signed, Shy and Scared Dear Shy and Scared: I'm afraid there Is not a way you can reasonably get out of ta1kJng to someone when you make job applications.

Employers need to assess not only your knowledge and skill but also your "fit" with the rest of the employees with whom you'll be working.

One way to handle your nervousness Is to think about It like the anxiety you've experienced In taking tests. Often, the more prepared you are for the test, the less nervous you have to be. Just as you study for an exam. studying for an Interview by researching some relevant facts about the company will help you feel more prepared and less anxious about your performance. Write these down In the form of questions and take them with you to the interview. Then you don't even have to worry about remembering them. Also, call Career Services, the staff will do mock Interviews with you, so that you can practice.

All the preparation In the world will not get you a job If you do not present yourself assertively and confidently. Here are some tips taken from Assertiveness, a brochure published by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and available at Metro's counseling center.

1. Be specific and clear about what you want, think, and feel. Precision In your expression will not only give your future employer an accurate view of what you want In a job. it will also give him/her an example of how well you can communicate with other employees, customers and superiors.

2. Take responsibility for what you say. You can use "I" statements to do the - for example, saying "I don't agree with you" Instead of "You're wrong." Be careful, however. that you don't confuse "I' statements with talking endlessly about yourself, especially In a job Interview. Use " I" statements to clartfy and solidify your views on the subject matter

at hand only.

3. Ask for feedback In order to correct any misperceptlons about what you have said. You might ask, "Does this make sense?" or "Am I being clear?"

This tells a potential employer that you care enough to send a clear message.

EDITORIAL

Public records must be open: It's the law FRANKLY SPEAKING SHAWN CHRISTOPHER Cox

By attending the Faculty Senate meeting on March 17 it became clear that there is a lack of understanding concerning open records.

The legislature has determihed that government is to function openly in the public's eye. To go along with this, Colorado law stipulates that records are open.

As the law says, "'public records' means and includes all writings made, maintained, or kept by the state or any agency, institution, or political subdivision thereof for use in the exercise of functions required or authorized by law or administrative rule or involving the receipt or expenditure of public funds."

Furthermore, the law defines "writings" as "all books, papers, maps, photographs, cards, tapes, recordings, or other documentary materials, regardless of physical form or characteristics.· Records kept for searches for positions at state institutions falls under the Open Records Act. The law allows for the public to inspect all records that are declared open. The inspection is to

be immediate unless the records requested are "in active use or in storage."

In this case, the law says: "The custodian shall set a date and hour within three working days at which time the records will be available for inspection."

Records requested may be denied if such inspection is contrary to any state or federal statute or regulation or if inspection is prohibited by rules set forth by the supreme court or order of any court.

Additionally , the law says the custodian may deny the right to inspect records if disclosure would be contrary to public interest.

Categories considered contrary to public interest include current investigations for law enforcement purposes; examination data for licensing, employment or academic use; research projects ; and real estate appraisals until title to the property or property interest has passed to the state or political subdivision.

In addition, other records closed to the public include medical, psychological, sociological and scholastic achievement data, personne.l files, letters of reference , trade secrets or other privileged information, private contributions to libraries and museums, students' addresses and telephone numbers in any public elementary or secondary school, library records , and information for the Colorado Health Commission.

Glenn Burnham, president of the trustees of the state colleges in Colorado and custodian of the

presidential search records for MSCD, first denied The Metropolitan's request to see records kept for the search because, in his opinion, to release such documents would "do substantial injury to the public interest," as provided by law.

Under the same section of the law, it stipulates that the custodian "may apply to the district court of the district in which such record is located for an order permitting him to restrict such disclosure."

This is what Burnham initially did concerning the president's search at MSCD. A court hearing was set but canceled because the trustees stopped the president's search and released the applicant files of those who had applied to be president of MSCD. MSCD 's administration , as well as The Metropolitan, has determined that documents collected in searches are open records.

Besides falling under Colorado law, open records for searches are important. It is in the public's interest to know who has applied for positions at MSCD. Once information is released to the public, there is a greater opportunity for choosing the best candidate.

If someone at MSCD knows an applicant or reads that an applicant has reached the finalist stage, that person can provide additional information to the search committee. This includes both positive and negative input.

Having open records and searches protects the public's interest. It does not harm it, as Burnham believes.

GUEST EDITORIAL Health center staff defends charges for missed appointments I

In response to the two articles in The Metropolitan about the Student Health Center, we feel compelled to make clear several points. Concerning students being charged for missed appointments, it is important to clarify what the impact is when a student misses an appointment.

Since the health center is highly utilized, but under funded and thus understaffed, it is difficult to find an available open slot to schedule an appointment. We have far more students requesting and needing appointments than we have open slots within a reasonable amount of time. If a student cancels an appointment with less than a 24 hour notice, they have in essence deniea their peers the opportunity to be seen in a timely manner. When you have as many students as we do trying to be seen, but an inability to see all of them timely due to limited staffing, every appointment slot is considered significant. It should be pointed out that all scheduled patients are called 48 hours in advance and reminded of their appointment. For anyone wanting to cancel, they have the opportunity to ~o so at this time. This courtesy is a good example of how the MSCD Student Health Center goes the extra mile for their patients. We should also reiterate that our failure rate has decreased from 60 percent to 20 percent since implementation of our missed appointment policy.

We would also like to comment on the various quotes from Dr. Ledesma in the recent article on the health center. Dr. Ledesma appears to have his own agenda that is in conflict with the needs and interests of the students.

He has made comments about the appropriateness of what services the health center should provide and has made references to the Denver General Walk-In Clinic as an appropriate medical facility for the students. Dr. Ledesma also continues to compare the residential vs. the commuter campus as an argument for not believing that the MSCD Student Health Center is grossly under funded.

Dr. Ledesma has been presented with student fee data on several occasions from numerous schools around the country, which has included commuter campuses. He continues to ignore the facts that speak for themselves about how under funded the MSCD Student Health Center

is. It makes absolutely no difference where students reside the patient applying for a blue Denver General card as to their need for convenient and low-cost professional (income status/fee rate determination) which can take up medical care and education. His focus just on hea)th to half a day. It should be pointed out that medical care at education as the appropriate mission for the health center • Denver General is not necessarily free as we believe Dr. is extremely narrow and is only a part of a student's health Ledesma thinks it is. Patients have to qualify based on care needs. We educate more students during patient their income level. All income including part-time positions visits at the health center than we can ever reach by solely is considered relevant. Students routinely wait to see a focusing on just campus health education. During each medial provider for an extended amount of time. Even visit at the health center patients are educated far more though we have waiting time at the Student Health Center, than any hospital or community medical provider even due to insufficient funding from the MSCD Student Affairs considers doing. This is what makes college health so Board, it in no way compares to the wait time patients different from the private sector. could potentially encounter at Denver General. Denver Dr. Ledesma also assumes that all the students he General provides wonderful care, but at the cost of suggests sending to Denver General would actually seek inefficiency to the student; not to mention a loss of care there or elsewhere in the community. We believe that personal care, continuity, extensive health education and a great many of our students would go untreated and end attention to the unique needs of the student. Dr. Ledesma up with a much more serious medical problem down the wishes to choose what health care the students will get by road.

COMMENTARY

Mestnik supports Ferrill for president I t

'i

Next week the students of MSCD have an important decision ~o make.

Choosing who shall be president of MSCD student government shall greatly impact the quality of student life in many areas.

An event that both presidential candidates were involved in last year clearly demonstrates the differences on how these candidates view the role of student government as well as the differences in their basic political beliefs and actions.

- Last year. presidential candidate Barb Ferrill participated in organizing an on-campus sleepout in order to raise money for local homeless

shelters and foodbanks . The event raised over $1000 as well as drawing attention to the plight of the homeless.

The event was covered by local television, radio and both daily papers.

As the campus sleepout was being put together, Marcus Dunn, who is also running for student body president, planned a counter event.

Through an organization called "Right America," Dunn hoped to undermine the homeless benefit by renting hot tubs, buying a few kegs of beer and trays of hors d'oeuvres and holding a "su(:ls and tubs party" to be held along side the campus sleepout. The poster advertising his event declared "tired of

AMOS (Auraria's Man of Sophistication)

the whining left? Then come to a hot tub party in honor of the homeless."

One idea Dunn and company put forth was to go down to 23rd and Larimer to recruit "actual homeless people to come and serve the food and beer."

Fortunately, campus outrage caused Dunn to rethink and cancel the hot tub party. The campus sleepout continues to be an annual event.

This confrontation, while occurring over a year ago, clearly lays out the choice students will be asked to make at the polls next week.

Student vote determines future of Metro State Once again it is time for the student elections here at Metro.

Once again we see democracy in action; well, maybe a not-soreasonable facsimile.

Elections at this college have always been a great source of amusement to me. After all, how seriously can one take a "mandate from the people" when less than 1O percent of the people actually vote? Why is that, do you suppose?

Could it be that most of the students on this campus really couldn't care less about who is student president? Probably.

Could it be that most of the students have no idea what the student government does to begin with? Definitely. That makes it sound like a dark day for democracy here at Metro.

Howe.ver.1 ip1eed not brr that way.

Imagine the power a student representative would have if there truly were a mandate of student votes behind him or her. Imagine the influence students could have in what happens with this college if all of us simply took five minutes of our day and voted I But, many of you say, "What can the student government do for me anyway?"

Freshmen, do you want tuition and fees to climb so high that by your senior year you can no longer afford to go to college?

Sophomores, would you want your credits from other colleges to transfer here without a problem?

Juniors, do you want to face the possibility of not getting the classes you need to finish your degree within a reasonable amount of time? And my fellow seniors, I realize that we are all merely desperate to escape but what will we be leaving behind for the rest?

Voting has always been touted as one of our country's most precious citizen rights. It is no less precious here on campus. The candidates this year are very diverse with greatly differing ideas for the future of Metro State. You, the students, decide that future by who you vote into ottice. So get out and vote and vote wisely.

And if no one appeals to you, then simply write in a vote for NONE OF THE ABOVE and really show that you want a change.

COMMENTARY MAMA MARIANI JEAN MARIANI-SEAR

••

;a

"I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it any more!" With those burning words Howard Stern in "Network" revolut ionized television. Too bad American Family Association, who put a full page ad in my Sunday comic section Feb. 28, didn't quote him correctly; they'd have gotten far more positive response and/or attention . As it is, they have offended my delicate sensibilities by misquoting a very effective line from people they purport to sanction , and they misplace blame for society's woes directly on Hollywood and network brass. I wonder if they ever heard the concept of "owning their piece of the problem?'.'

Now, correct me if I am wrong, but these people running this ad are adults, yes? At least chronologically. And, I believe the individuals they are concerned about, who are up watching SNL and who are ditching school (evidently) to watch daytime television, are their children. Have I got this right so far? Good. Now, why have these alleged adults surrendered remote control to the children? Is there no curfew, no enforceable bedtime; are there no truancy laws?

If these people were truly dismayed about 1.1 million girls between 15 and 19 becoming unwed parents, why are they against condom distribution (which also helps check STDs), sex education, contraceptive information and abortion? I have yet to see this group, here paying beaucoup dollars on a full-page Sunday ad, spend a comparable amount on adoption, prevention of children bearing children, job development for youth (eats up all tf:~eir spare time!), programs for the homeless, etc.

They say they are shocked that 2/3 of all births to 15 to_19 year olds are out of wedlock. Aside from the operative word "lock," which is something found in a prison or on a chastity belt, it intrigues me to note these morons think these young people should marry . They obviously don't have the current statistics, which reflect the level of abuse present in very young families. They are, in essence, sentencing these children, both the ones bearing and the ones born, to death by slow torture.

Another unaddressed problem is that of health care for the mothers and babies. Girls who bear too early wrack their developing bodies in pregnancy and their children have more major health problems

than those of physically mature women. Then these same groups scream at higher pitch when told of a tax hike to meet increased Medicaid expenses for these uninsured citizens! Somebody, please, pass me some earplugs! Better still, pass them cheese to go with their whine.

Yes, there is increasing violence on the streets of our country, but have you seen Beirut? I am not proposing we wait till our buildings resemble theirs (though in New York and LA some do!) but who do Beirutians blame for their problems? They are aware of their true issues and are not putting their troubles off onto media personnel.

I realize many will feel I have just trivialized Beirut's issues to the point of inanity, but think a moment, please; is it not a values issue? Which point of view is more "value-able"? Evidently the American Family Association feels its view is most able to be valued. They have evidently forgotten that TV programming exists only to sell products. If advertisers could get away with it, they'd run straight commercials; indeed on late-night they run 30 minute info-mercials back-to-back for several hours.

Ratings? You bet! High ratings assure the maximum amount of viewer exposure to ads.

Profits? You bet! The more viewers, the more consumers of product; a simple enough equation for the average adult, I think. This puts the problem, at least to my mind, back on th'e consumer; either the consumer of TV or of product.

And, hey , guess what AFA? You are the consumer these things are aimed at! Exercise your thumb on the remote, exercise your right of personal protest (not wholesale mob mentality), exercise your right not to have a babble-box if you wish, but don't lay society's trouble at anyone else's doorstep! You are interested in applying a Band-aid when major surgery is in order.

Many people hold that a society is, in the end, judged by the treatment of its weakest members. I donate to homeless women's' shelters, work in teen pregnancy programs, volunteer at my sons' school and attend school myself. I have a commitment to public transportation to help decrease pollution and I recycle . What do you do, AFA, beside harangue people to take up your misguided cudgels and inappropriately assign blame? I am waiting with a worm on my tongue (that's "baited breath", son) for you to show me.

"I'm mad as hell I And I'm not going to take it {silently) any more!"

Student calls for yes vote on referendum #1 With Metro's elections upon us once again, students are faced more important questions than in any previous year. Along with deciding who should be President, ·student Trustee Rep and a variety of other Student Government positions, there are a number of referendum questions on the ballot regarding student fee increases and control. But the most important question on the ballot is the very first one, concerning the implementation of an RTD buspass program.

This year, in an unprecedented show of unity, the three schools' student governments formed a coalition to create a bus-ridership program at Auraria. The program, loosely modeled after a program at C.U . Boulder, will allow any Auraria student free ridership on any local Metro Area bus from the first day of each semester until the first day of the following semester. Calculated by using the discounted monthly bus-pass fee, this represents a savings of nearly $100.00 per student, per semester.

This savings will help to offset the many recent tuition increases we starving students have faced .

That, however, is only part of the equation.

Those who drive to campus, and who can 't or wouldn't ride the bus even with such a program in

place, stand to gain in two ways. First, if the program is even half as successful as in Boulder (a 78% increase in ridership in the first year) , there would immediately be more parking spots, closer to campus available. Secondly, the likelihood of future parking fee hikes would decrease. Even at a mere .25 cent increase, someone who parks on campus four times a week could end up paying $20.00 a semester in additional parking costs, much higher than the expected cost of a Bus-Pass program (no more than $15.00 per semester). Which brings me to the final paragraph.

Because Metro's elections are held so early, by the time the ballot has been printed, we will not have established the exact cost for this program. This expected to be somewhere around $10 .00 per semester, per student, an astounding bargain by anyone's criteria. So, fellow students, •-shall end this letter the way it began . VOTE YES FOR MORE CONVENIENT PARKING! VOTE YES FOR THE ENVIRONMENT! VOTE YES FOR YOUR POCKET BOOK! VOTE YES ON #1 !!!

~~~~~~~FEATURES Hero Montilla Staff Writer

A high-voltage French film came to America like a rush of strong wind in 1991. The film was titled ." La Femme Nikita" for its distribution in the United States, although it was known as "Nikita" in France.

American director John Badham must have realized the potential in taking the French screenplay "Nikita" and recreating it on screen for American audiences. His new film, "Point of No Return," has just been released starring Bridget Fonda.

"Point of No Return" follows the "Nikita" screenplay like a shadow. Little has been changed except for elements in the setting of the film. "Nikita" takes place in present day Paris, whereas "Point of No Return" takes place in Washington, D.C., and Venice Beach, Calif.

Both films tell the story of a miserable and highly volatile criminal who is transformed into a professional femme-

Bridget Fonda stars as a murder-turned-agent in "Point of No Return," an American remake of the 1991 French thriller "La Femme Nikita."

fatale.

In the American version, Maggie is a strung out drug addict who involves herself in a drug heist gone awry.

Maggie violently murders a cop and is sentenced to death row. Before the final hour, however, the government decides that is has better use for her.

Maggie is brought to the "compound" center for a covert agency that trains assassins. In the dark and windowless compound, nestled underneath a federal building, Maggie is metamorphosed into a glamorous killing machine.

After training , the agency sends Maggie to Venice Beach and sets up shop · in an apartment where she pretends to be just a regular gal working for a computer company. There she meets J.P. who has no idea who she really is, but falls hopelessly in love with her.

Just as the ball starts rolling in her love life, Maggie is called in for her first assignment among many as a killer.

Maggie tries her best to maintain her composure amid the violence she causes while trying to keep her secret from J.P. She soon realizes that the g~ between

her professional duty and her need to have a life become wider. Maggie realizes that ~ she must not only confront J.P. 's suspicion but her urge to abandon the call to kill.

"Point of No Return" proves to be a smooth package that does not stall for a moment in its intensity. The film is consistently interesting most likely because of the novelty of the plot and the excitement of the subversive adventures Maggie encounters.

"Point of No Return" is just as well made as its predecessor, and that is probably becaise this film follows the original so closely.

Bridget Fonda is brilliant. In a sense, she plays two roles: the "old" Maggie and the " new" Maggie. The disposition, mannerisms, dialect and look of the old Maggie is markedly different than the new Maggie and Fonda pulls it off without faltering one moment.

Maggie's character is refreshing. She is actually portrayed as strong, intelligent and savvy, instead of the usual weak and sexy. Maybe someday the rest of Hollywood will follow suit.

Other command performances are those of Bob (Gabriel Byrne), Maggie's trainer at the agency and Victor the cleaner (Harvey Keitel), a fellow killer. Both Byrne and Keitel are indispensable to the film, helping to add to the mysterious and coldblooded atmosphere of the agency. " Point of No Return " is a strong descendent of the original film. What French audiences appreciated, American audiences will as well.

"If it weren't for the puppy · raisers, these dogs

Purposeful pups learn to keep eyes open 4-H club prepares puppies for guide dog training Hero Montilla Staff Writer

-.

The assumed rule in Auraria Campus buildings is "No pets allowed." Given this, It is a pleasant surprise to encounter a dog snoozing next to its owner under a desk or chair during class.

There are blind students at Auraria who own guide dogs, so it is not unusual to catch a pair like this in action.

Believe it or not, there is even a seeing person on campus in the company of a dog guide.

"A lot of people think I'm blind," said Melissa Smith, a freshman at MSCD. Smith is one of the many "puppy raisers" in Colorado responsible for preparing young dogs in their first year of life to be a guide dog.

This past year, Smith could be seen on campus with Ricardo, a black Labrador retriever wearing a green jacket with the words "guide dog in training" printed on it.

"We take them everywhere," Smith said. "We want to teach them how to behave in public."

Smith began her stint as a ouoov raiser in,19 9 after

Chas Gordon /The Metropolitan

MSCD student Melissa Smith In training with Ricardo,one of her guide dogs. she wrote a book report on guide dogs in the seventh grade. Since then, Smith has helped to train several dogs.

Smith is one of 13 puppy raisers who participate in the Jefferson County 4-H club project, "Eyes for Others."

4-H is a national youth organization that sponsors projects to help young people learn leadership skills.

Barb MacKenzie, a third year human services major at MSCD, coordinates the Arapahoe County Guide Dog .Club through . 4-H.

wouldn't have a clue," MacKenzie said.

According to Smith, the puppy raisers teach the dogs basic manners such as how to sit, stay, heel, leave and be quiet. When the dogs are about 5 months old, they begin six months of intensive training.

"State Jaw says that dogs can' t go into stores until they are 5 months," MacKenzie said.

After the initial training, the dogs are sent back to Guide Dogs for the Blind, Inc., located in San Rafael, Calif., to learn the ins and outs of "harness" training the operative procedures of guide dog performance. When they complete training, the dogs are assigned to blind people who have applied and been accepted in the guide dog program.

Ricardo finished his training with Smith last weekend and has gooe to California to begin intensive training as a guide dog.

"When they graduate it's amazing. It's a neat feeling," she said.

Smith has recently begun a year of training with a new puppy named Pebbles.

"She doesn't know much yet," Smith said..

Joan Hurburt, the leader for "Eyes for Others" said the guide dog project through 4-H has been around for about 15 to 20 years but has only been really active for the past six years.

"It is a satisfying project," Hurburt said. "There's a satisfaction of doing something to help other people."

The school then sends the puppies to 4-H. 4-H clubs in the eight most western states work in conjunction with Guide Dogs for the Blind, Inc. There are about 25 counties in Colorado in which these projects are operated. About 350 puppies are raised each year in Colorado.

Because 4-H is a youth club, most of the puppy raisers are in junior high and high school. However, adults may participate. Hurburt said the only requirements are that a person be associated with 4-H and attend the monthly guide dog project meetings. Those interested in becoming puppy raisers through the 4-H club, can call Jefferson County 4-H at 271-8837.

"The course has been really, really exciting so far," Cutter said. "The professionals in the community have been very helpful."

Ten scholarships were awarded this semester to MSCD students to be a part of the first course in this new program. The course is being held at MSCD until the building in Five points is renovated, Cutter said.

The scholarship recipients themselves demonstrate the need for the course and the media center. Most of the 10 students are women or single parents, and some are the first in their families to attend college.

"It has been a very enjoyable class, I think anyone considering a broadcasting career should take this course," said Jeff Martinez, an MSCD student and scholarship recipient.

The project and courses are needed because minorities and women are not being accounted for, · Martinez said.

The Center for Media and Public Affairs in Washington, D.C,. reported that of the 14,226 stories aired by ABC, CBS and NBC evening news programs in 1992, only 19 percent were reported by women. That figure is up from 14 percent in 1991. The number of stories reported by minorities remained under 10 percent in 1992.

The media center is a non-profit organization and is being funded through several state grants and a large lowinterest loan given specifically to projects such as the center, Proffitt said.

Auraria parking faces no hassel.s, Rockies say Ta/kin' trash -by Edward C. Morrow Just when you thought the parking situation at Auraria was improving, here comes the Colorado Rockies and about 80,000 fans to change your mind.

The problem facing students who attend night classes during Rockies home games will be a nightmare rather than a "field of dreams," as students will be faced with the reality of wrestling fans for parking spaces.

The Rockies are expecting 80,000 for its home opener April 9. This will not pose a problem for student parking, but sellouts for the series 'with the New York Mets the following week, MondayThursday, may cause problems for students.

According to the Rockies, the fans will not be allowed to park at Auraria during weekday games. How is anybody going to enforce this policy? Remember, Auraria abolished the parking stickers that would denote who is eligible to park in the lots that are supposed to be set aside for students.

Let's look at the problem the Rockies will bring to the Auraria Campus. During football season, the Broncos have a capacity of 76,273 fans and fuJJy use the parking facilities at Auraria. Now, those parking hassles over at the sport complex have not healed themselves. Just think of 80,000 fans wrestling with students for valuable parking spots.

"I will park at Auraria," said Rockies

season ticket holder Charles Smith. "I've parked their for the Broncos game for half the money and half the traffic hassle."

This is the lure of Auraria. The individual will only have to pay $1. 75 compared with the sport complex parking fee between $3 to $5, and it gives the fan who wants to walk the opportunity to escape some of the traffic hassles that goes with sporting events. The walk takes only 15 minutes, and I walk pretty slow.

With no deterrent, the Rockies fans will flow into Auraria lots set aside for students, decreasing the number of available parking spots left for students.

One night student who expects to be impacted by the decrease in parking spots vents her frustration at Auraria.

"I would be pissed off," said Tiffany Trott. "It's bard enough to get parking spaces now."

Auraria officials were unavailable for comment on this issue.

As we all know, Auraria is not driven by students rights, but money. So students: get ready to fight fans for parking spaces. My advice to all students: get to campus early, about two hours before first pitch or first scratch. And lets hope the Rockies don ' t have any day games during the week until May 14.

Baseball team travels over spring break Angie Reese Sports Reporter Just as things started to go its way, Mother Nature came along and spoiled everything for the MSCD baseball team.

The Roadrunner~ had lost three games in California before they played in the Mesa State College Tournament in Grand Junction. They lost their first game in the tournament but finally pulled together at the end of the week to drill New Mexico Highlands.

As soon as the team started feeling good and was ready to play, the last two days· of the tournament were canceled because of rain.

"It was just our luck to get rained out," said junior third-baseman Joe Lucero.

The ' Runners began spring vacation in California and played their first game against Christ College at Irvine. The 'Runners were leading 4-0 until the seventh inning when Christ College scored four runs to tie. They added one more run in the eighth inning to beat the 'Runners 5-4.

"It seems like that's how it's been the whole season," Lucero said. "We have one bad inning and then they come back."

The 'Runners couldn't even get into their next two games. They lost their second game to Southern California College, 12-2. 1n their third game, the 'Runners had only one hit in their I 0-0 loss to California State Dominguez Hills.

" We were really getting frustrated with each other," Lucero said.

"We played some good competition," said Head Coach Vince Porreca. "We struggles a little bit at the plate, which is expected, because we saw better pitching than in the past."

After their three defeats in California, the 'Runners headed for Grand Junction.

They played a tight game against Belleview College, and despite having a Grand Slam homerun and five RBI's from Lucero, they still lost 9-8.

But Lucero's swift hitting carried the 'Runners to their first victory during the break over New Mexico Highlands with a score of 9-2.

Even though their playing ended early because of weather, Porreca still feels that they all came home with positive attitudes.

"The last couple of games we got back into the swing of things," he said.

"Now we need to carry that over into the main part of the season."

The 'Runners dropped their overall record to 6-16.

Lucero said that even though the team is chocked-full of talent, they are. still adjusting to playing with new players and under a new coach.

"We're not together as a team yet," he said. "We're not a family like a baseball team should be.

"We need to have that killer instinct," he said. "We need to get on top and get it in our minds that we're never going to give up."

MSCD

Lucero said the the team is starting to get a little frustrated but thinks things can change with a few victories.

"We're just trying to get out there and

get a couple of wins under our belt," he said. " A couple of wins might help us get over the top."

Angie Reese Sports Reporter Both the MSCD men's and women's tennis teams spent their spring vacations in the sun, but neither team had a break from competing.

While the men headed to Texas, the women headed to Phoenix for three exhibition matches. They came home undefeated.

The Roadrunners beat Mesa Community College, 6-3, Scottsdale Community College, 5-4, and Glendale Community College, 9-0.

Head Coach Boots O'Brien said the team is excited about the victories and now she is hoping to win the conference championship.

"Air Force AcademY. is almost impossible to beat but I think we can make a good show," she said. "These girls are real eager to learn, real eager to play and they try real hard."

While the women were shining, the men were struggling.

They started their play in Texas.

They lost their first match to West Texas State, 9-0, and dropped their undefeated record to 4-1. They also lost their next two matches to Odessa Jr. College, 9-0, and New Mexico Military Institute, 7-2.

Both were exhibition matches so neither will count against their record.

"They were real good teams," said Head Coach John Arntz. "I still think we played pretty well."
