A pugnacious poodle with red ribbons on her ears stands brandishing a machine gun. A pit bull has "News 4" and "NBC" written on its body and a Channel 4. microphone dangling from the tip of its tail. A videotape is attached to the base of the tail. These sculptures by artist Dede Larue are on display in the Library as part of Art Daze, in conjunction with the Festival of Cultural Arts, celebrated April 5 and 6 at Auraria. Although the skies were cloudy both days, it did not stop the celebration. Incorporating dance, music, art, poetry and much more, the festiva stretched from the Tivoli Student Union to the Emmanuel Gallery, South Classroom, St. Cajetan's Center and the present Student Union. T h e Emmanuel Gallery hosted the MSCD student art show, and director Carol Keller was excited by the students' enthusiasm. Competition to get work displayed in the gallery was fierce, she said. "We had a huge amount of entries, and we chose 50 to display. There were a couple hundred entries," Keller said. One of the paintings on display was "Mona and Bart," an acrylic by Don McClimans. It shows the television cartoon character, Bart Simpson, resting in the cradled arms of the Mona Lisa. An untitled painting by Michelle Libby depicts the face of what looks like a sinister, leering clown in dark, ghostly blues and greens.

Agressive students in classes Cultural Arts Festival

The art show at the Tivoli featured art by students from five schools: MSCD, UCO, CCD, Regis University and Denver University. The most elaborate exhibit of the Tivoli art show was a piece called "Installation" by UCO student Bonnie Ferrill. A wooden post was in a small, darkened room. A circle of votive lights surrounded the post and broken glass was scattered at the base of it. Taped to the post were cutouts of a woman's form. The cutouts were from bible pages. After looking at art, people listen to the many bands that played in the Tivoli. On April 6, the Metro Jazz Ensemble played in the Tivoli Turnhalle. Their extended jams were a fusion of r-0llicking keyboards, energetic drums, thumping bass and soulful trombones. _ Many merchants took advantage of the festival to hawk their merchandise. Michael ~mmons, who owns Akente Express, a store that sells African products, sold African hats, dolls, clothes, oils and lotions on the second floor of the Tivoli. ."It would be nice if we could be outside," Simmons said. While some people looked at art and listened to music, others took in poetry at St. Cajetan's. Poem topics were diverse. Catherine O'Neill, an MSCD student, read a poem called "Me Mommy," relating the travails of being a full-time student, having a full-time job and taking care of kids at the same time. A person who juggles these commitments has to be "mommy" but has no "mommy" he~lf. When lunch time rolled around on April 6, people avoided the usual fare and head over to the South Classroom to sample exotic cuisine. People tried food native to Vietnam, Egypt and Peru. On April 5, films w路ere shown in the conference rooms in the Student Union. One of the films, "Black History Museum," by Divon E. Johnson, is a documentary about the Black History Museum on California Street in downtown Denver. "Black History Museum" talked about famous African Americans in Colorado history, such as Justina L. Ford, the first black woman doctor in Colorado. For younger folks, Elizabeth Ousley gave puppet shows in the south amphitheater. Although the weather was chilly, parents and their little kids showed up to watch the antics of monkeys, bears and other cuddly stuffed animals as they sang and danced to recorded music. The kids danced around also, often in puddles of water on the amphitheater steps.

When a faulty copy machine is reported to library staff they are supposed to place a call to CDP Inc., the company that owns and maintains the machines, said Shirley Marecak, staff assistant in Library Administration. "A lot of times they (library staff), will not call for one machine," Marecak said, adding that they wait until service to the students becomes a problem. "We should be called when one machine breaks down," CDP representative Blair Malinski said. "If the machines are down, we don't make a profit."

Campus Authors A reception for the authors

Lawrence Jones Managing Editor Interim Dean of letters, arts and sciences, Joan Foster, will retain the position for another year while the search for a permanent dean goes back to square one, according to MSCD Provost David Williams. "We will reopen the search," he said. "There will probably be a new search committee formed." This latest · development was announced after candidate Sharon Zablotney, who was recommended David Wiiiiams by the current search committee for the position, decided to accept a position as dean of arts and sciences at the State University of New York. She said she had been very interested in the post and it was not the delays in choosing a new dean here at MSCD that prompted her move. "I was a finalist in several positions," she said. "And I was offered a good position (at State University of New York)." The other two finalists for the position of dean at MSCD were Michael Rowland from the University of Montevallo and Spencer McWilliams of Warren Wilson College. Rowland

declined to comment and McWilliams could not be reached for comment. Foster said she was surprised at the decision to renew the search after MSCD had committed itself to the search for a new dean. However, she said this should not be seen as a " message of failure" now that the search has been started over. "Searches don't always culminate," she said. "It's best to get the right person." She said she is g lad to be able to work with her staff for another year and that the office plans to continue its emphasis on the students at MSCD. William's decision puts to rest a search process that has been riddled with delays. The Metropolitan reported on Dec. 4, 1992, that the finalists had been named for the position of Dean . According to the minutes of a Nov. 5 meeting of the search committee, it was recommended that only Zablotney's name be forwarded to Williams as a candidate for the position. However, there was also discussion at the meeting about reevaluating the beginning pool of candidates before making any recommendation. It was then reported in the Jan. 29, 1993 issue of The Metropolitan that Williams sai.d the new dean would be selected by March 1. The decision was then delayed until March 5 and then finally postponed until April 15. Akbarali Thobhani, another committee member stressed the need to fill the position to help stabilize MSCD while it is seeking a new president to replace outgoing Thomas Brewer.

Committee member SusanJos~pher also said in a -recent interview that stability was needed before a search should have began. "This was the wrong time," she said. "It was hurried. The school needed to be stabilized." However, Josepher did say not all searches find what they are looking for. She said she is hopeful that a new search will present even better qualified candidates for the position of dean and that this search committee was "the best · committee I've ever served on." Chairwoman of the searclf committee, Jodi Wetzel, said searches tti'a't do not find applicants have nqt been uncommon during her work with· MSCD and other colleges and universities . Although she admits such a search is time consuming, she said starting over is better than possibly hiring a candidate who may not have enough support within the faculty to lead the school. "I'm disappointed ... that we couldn't conclude the search," she said, fun she also said that she is pleased that Foster will fill the position for another year and would even support Foster's candidacy if she is allowed to apply. Foster could not apply because of a policy, in place when the search began, stating that an interim dean could not apply (or the permanent position. According to Percy Morehouse, director of the office of equal opportunity, that policy has since been rescinded and Foster should be able to apply. However, a final ruling on the matter hasn't been handed down, he said.

The Tivoli Planning Committee took a position at its April l meeting to alter the use of the Club Infinity space when the Tivoli becomes the new student union in the fall of 1994. The bar/dance club has been a point of concern for committee members who feel the use of the space should be more student oriented and conform more closely to the overall use of the union as well as the mission of the campus. Don Sugar, program coordinator of the substance abuse prevention program at MSCD, made a presentation to the TPC in which he described some of the findings of a study of alcohol use among students. "Eighty-one percent of our students have used alcohol in the past 30 days," he said. "Fifty-two percent of those people who were surveyed say that they reported some kind of public misconduct this past year such as getting into trouble with the police, fighting, DUis or being taken advantage of sexually as a result of drinking and drug use." Sugar went on to explain some of the reasons why limitations should be set on the bars at the new union. see TPC, page 16

Expert discusses Amendment 1 Craig Stephens The Metropolitan

An expert on higher education said MSCD is a leader in education but warned the audience at an Amendment 1 conference April 2 that the college must work at maintaining its reputation. "What you people may not realize is that you are one of the states that has been on the cutting edge of higher education and you need to work hard to continue having that title," Alexander Astin told the crowd at the seminar. Astin is a professor of higher education at UCLA and director of the Higher Education Research Institute at UCLA. He has been involved with the study of higher education since the 1960s and has published more than 100 books and 17 articles on the subject. Metro Connections 90's, along with the student activities council and PEAK Leadership, hosted the day-long panel discussion concerning Colorado's Amendment l and its effect on higher education. Considered by many to be the leading expert on the subject, Astin discussed his student involvement theory with conference participants. The basis of Astin' s theory is that student participation and effort is required to achieve optimal educational results. In light of Amendment 1 and its opponents, Astin offers: "We get into the mind set that if you take away resources we can't function well."

Astin said Colorado higher educational institutions need to reorganize their priorities. "Typically, education loses out to student jobs, play and family," Astin said. "The commuter institution is a bigger challenge." Astin claims that at commuter institutions, the course work becomes the main instrument of student involvement. "This is where the cooperative learning system must apply," he said. The theory revolves around the use of student work in small peer groups. "MSCD courses need to take large classes and reorganize them so that smart and slow students wind up working together in groups," Astin said. "The smarter student learns more by teaching and the slower student learns by example of their peers. It's a win-win situation."

The second most important aspect of learning at a commuter college is the interaction with faculty, Astin said. ''The old method was that the faculty should fill the students head with their knowledge. We now believe the learning process is more beneficial when the student and faculty combine to discuss their knowledge together and argue their differences." Astin also said high school graduates should not be allowed to enroll unless they are committed to· taking more than one class. Further, adults should be accepted on an individually evaluated basis, he said. "With the effects of Amendment 1 closing in on Colorado's educational system, we need to start looking at plans to continue its quality of excellence," Astin said.

Trustees use IAC names Search committee called on for help Katarlna Ahlfort Staff Writer

The Trustees of the State Colleges in Colorado have decided to revive the search for a president of MSCD and to blow new life into the disembodied Institutional Advisory Committee. Based on the recommendations of the advisory committee, the trustees last week narrowed the list of 62 candidates to eight names. "I call this anarchy," said Susan Josepher, member of the recently defunct committee, about '--'~--" the presidential Susan Josepher search. "If they can accept the work we have done as valid, then why are we not valid as a group? "We've been negated. The trustees told us the search had been aborted, and we believed them," she said. The advisory committee, representing students, staff and faculty at MSCD, was

disbanded by the trustees after 13 names of presidential candidates were revealed last month , and published in The Metropolitan. Now, the trustees are asking for the advisory committee's assistance when the candidate finalists visit campus at the end of April. The request has created much confusion among former committee members. "First of all, I have not been notified that there is a committee," Josepher said. "The latest information I received,, in writing, was that the group was dismissed. This is like a soap opera. The search is still not being handled properly." Trustee Gary Reiff said the committee will still be involved in the search, despite the fact that the group was declared defunct. "The committee will be reinstituted for the purpose of assisting in the candidates' campus visits. But they will not sit through interviews with the board." Reiff said the decision is a step towards involving a larger part of the MSCD community in the search. "We want a broad involvement. That was our intent all along," Reiff said. "I think being a host of forums and dialogues on campus is an appropriate role of the committee." Jo Romero, member of the advisory committee, said she views the trustees ' decision to reinstitute the committee as a see TRUSTEES page 9

matter of trying to make the group feel validated. "My concern is that we'll have no one from the committee participating in the interviews of a new president, as was originally planned," she said. "Instead, we get to escort people around.." The committee spent hundreds of hours compiling a list of top 10 presidential applicants. From the group's presented list, the trustees have selected seven candidates. "We're grateful that they went with our list," Romero said. The only candidate unknown to the committee is Robert Caret, provost and vice president of Towson State College in Baltimore, Md., Romero said. " This is all very curious," Romero said. "What hurt the committee the most was when the search was halted and we thought the names we selected would be thrown out. Now, at least, the trustees have shown that they value our work." Co-chairwoman of the committee, Angelina De La Torre , said she is concerned about "the climate the conflict has created on campus." "We want a new president here in a good environment, but we've seen a distrust developing," De La Torre said. ''There is a fear among people on campus that they will be ignored and not listened to."

At first glance, the human powered vehicle that the MSCD mechanical engineering technology studedts are building looks as though they got the design all wrong. It's a three-wheel cycle of sorts, but two wheels are in front with one in the back. It sits low to the ground, and the canvas seat reclines like a lounge chair. Actually, this human powered vehicle, or HPV, has an aerodynamic design, and the students plan to race it in a national competition at the University of Las Vegas路April 23-25. "A two-wheel design is faster, but safety requirements make it dangerous," said Bill Llewellien, a technical adviser to the students. When completed, the HPV will be equipped with a seat belt and a roll bar. This is the first year MSCD 's mechanical engineering technology computer-aided design course has entered the contest where big-name engineering schools, such as MIT and UC-Berkeley, race their inventions year after year. Kim Duncan, an MSCD mechanical engineering major and an HPV team member, said these other schools simply refine and modify their last year' s design. "We had to come from ground zero," he said, adding that most schools have two semesters to work on their HPV s. This class is doing it in one semester with no previous model to use as a guide and

MSCD mechanical engineering student Bill Dover test rides the prototype for the human powered vehicle he helped design. limited materials and equipment. Team member, chairman of the class and mechanical engineering major, Bill Niklaus, said, "I think it's admirable what we've been able to accomplish." The whole project has provided experience not onl y in what the mechanical engineering students .are

studying - design, building and testing but they' ve also learned a lot about fund raising, public relations and working closely together in groups. "For me and the rest of the students in the class, it's a great opportunity to apply all the book stuff we've learned," Duncan said.

The exposure the school gets by having a high profile program such as this helps MSCD and the department, he said. Many colleges start with budgets of $10,000 to $20,000 to design and build their HPV. MSCD/MET is working within a $8,500 budget with most of the money coming from MSCD' s student activities special account and other donations, Duncan said. "The hardest part has been raising money ," he ~ a id. "It doesn ' t happen without money." Anne Raney , the class adviser and instructor, said the students began working on the project before the semester started. "The students have put a lot of time and effort into the course," she said. "These hands-on projects are key to our interests." The HPV wi ll be judged in two categories: static and dynamic. A design report and oral presentation will also be made to emphasize the unique features of the vehicle. The dynamic category includes a relay race and a sprint race. The relay race will be 50, three-quarter mile laps (about 40 miles) around a looped course. There must be at least three different riders, with a female team member starting the race and completing at least six laps before changing riders . To make a donation or sponsor the human powered vehicle project, call Anne Raney at 556-4051 . The competition is sponsored by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers

EDITORIAL Jennifer Jackson provides positive contribution to campus FRANKLY SPEAKING SHAWN CHRISTOPHER

Cox

Editorial writers tend to focus on negative aspects of society. This week a positive program at MSCD is highlighted. The tutoring program at MSCD is worthwhile and beneficial, both for student tutors who get paid and student tutees who receive the service free. Courses that have tutors available include mathematics, science, English, and foreign languages, among others. According to Jennifer Jackson, coordinator for the tutoring center, the primary goals of the program are to lower the gradual drop out rate among MSCD students and ultimately to increase the graduation rate among students. Furthermore, the program's goal is to give students the necessary learning tools to assure future success. The tutoring center has been in its present form since 1990: Until then, Jackson said tutoring used to be in different areas around the college . For example, there used to be the letters, arts and sciences tutoring center. Manuel Escamilla, assistant vice president for academic and m·inority affairs, said that the program receives about $21,000 from the school that comes from the state. '

by LeDone Garret

"I think they're (the school is) beginning to come around.," Jackson said. Furthermore, she said that she would like to see student government help to finance the tutoring program, but added there have been no deliberations about this yet. Who uses the program? Jackson said a lot of students who use the program are trying to maintain an A or a B in class and for others it is trying to keep aC. Jackson said that the center serves 550 students per semester and 250 on a regular basis. However, she added that 300 students must be turned away. To obtain a tutor, Jackson said there is an application to fill out and there are also different rules, regulations and expectations of tutors and · tutees. For example, tutors are trained to see when they are assisting students to understand the material and when they are doing their homework for them. One expectation of tutees is to come to the tutoring sessions prepared, Jackson said. To qualify to become a tutor one must have a 3.5 grade point average and either be a junior or senior. There are about 22 tutors in the program which includes both tutors who tutor one-on-one or in small groups and those involved in the student/tutor assistant program. This program is to assist students in the classroom and to form study groups facilitated by the tutors. Jackson said this is about the second year for this program which is in its trial period. "To me, that is the way of the future for tutoring," Jackson said. Within the class setting, tutors

average 12 to 15 students and sit in on the class sessions. The assistant program better utilizes money and students know each other, Jackson said. "They're learning." She emphasized that this type of tutoring is "the key to retain students at this college." The tutoring center also offers study skills seminars that are free and open for all students to attend. Remaining seminars are: "Leadership and Personal Effectiveness" on April 12 from 1O to 11 a.m.; "Time Management & Procrastination" on April 13 from 10 to 11 a.m.; and "Preparing for Exams & Test Anxiety" on April 21 from 12 to 1 p.m. Jackson said a personal goal for her is for tutoring to be respected by students to eliminate the feeling "that if they need tutoring, they're dumb." Additionally, she said she would like students to be informed about tutoring and to have more input from students about the tutoring program. Jackson said she is pleased there is a diversified student tutor staff. She classified it as a "mixture of all differ~nt ethnic groups," adding that she would like to maintain this. Asked whether tutoring is needed, Jackson said, "You're going to always need tutoring." She said tutoring is especially needed at MSCD. This school is for students who could not go elsewhere, she said, adding that some students are going to have -more problems here than at a more traditional college. If interested in the tutoring program or if you want to attend a study skill seminar, stop by Central Classroom 112 or call 556-8472.

COMMENTARY

THE METROPOLITAN

Still time to vote, preferr ably for Ferrill, L~mak KNUCKLEHEAD CHRONICLES

•

Eric McCafferty

By the time many of you read these valuable words of advice, it may be too late. However, I will endeavor to enlighten you on the very serious subject of voting responsibly in the upcoming (going on today - right now) student government elections. And unless I miss my guess, you have procrastinated just long enough. to heed this advice and can only now cast your informed votes. The last issue of The Metropolitan contained probably the only information many of us have s~~n regarding the specific platforms of the spec1f1c candidates. Without further ado, here, in greatly condensed form, are what the illustrious candidates stand for or against - I think. In ascending order, we must start somewhere, we have the ticket of Dunn/Booker, presidential candidate and vice presidential candidate, respectively. They get the ball rolling by first brownnosing to this paper then their instructors - business as usual. The integral campaign goal: "Rebuilding the role of student government.• The objectives: revamping the way campus representatives are elected. The prognosis: poor. You guys, if elected, only have one year of office - you should focus your energies on matters that can be solved for the betterment of us all, not just the elected officials. Other perplexing issues: campus call boxes, monthly scholarship awards, and this jewel, "we will not be producing wasteful flyers. · These "wasteful flyers" are the only practical ways to get your positions across to the people! Let's see, I predict a last place finish for the Dunn/Booker ticket. Next, the rambunctious "Empowerment" ticket of Vander Horst/Garrett, president. and vice president, respectively . Chummy photo , mad as hell candidates. Vander Horst g·ets off to a rousing start

informing us he has been a student at Metro "and other colleges in Colorado" for five years, and has watched the steady decline of institutions of higher learning. We receive no update on the educational career of candidate Garrett. The candidates blame, correctly, the self-interested goals of our administrators, but this critic is only left with a sense of indignation for their whining and finger-pointing . . Other goals: establishing "300! (emphasis added} student jobs .t o subsidize tuition increases." In a time of tightening budgetary constraints this is truly a lofty goal. Besides guys, what kind of bureaucratic, useless jobs will they be? Sounds like a student bureaucracy to compete with the administrative bureaucracy you so detest. Bad idea, poor campaign. Predicted results: Nearly a dead-heat with the Dunn/Booker ticket. Cool catch phrase, though. Last, but probably first in the voting, we come to the worthy Ferrill/Lemak ducat. presidential hopeful Ferrill and her vice president cohort Lemak penned the best and most informative letter of credentials in the campaign. They are both very active in student government and seem to have the savvy and probable connections to truly make things happen for our greater good. The letter makes no promises t~at will be impossible to keep, and they advocate putting students in positions of control where students are affected most: advisory committees, student fees, and they have put seven referendum questions on the student government election ballot! Predicted results: First, in a landslide. I have not received any kickbacks, nor have I been promised a lucrative post within the new government of Ferrill/Lemak. I have simply int.armed myself on the respective platforms of all cand1d&tes. Mr. Dunn is the only candidate I have actually talked to . Mr. Vander Horst and r shared a class last summer, which he later dropped in an effort to further continue his college career, I assume. When the time comes to roll the electoral dice, let us hope that our concerns will be effectively answered with the election of the candidates who will serve us best. For my money, Ferrill and Lemak.

Dear Desperate: Tests do go best if you're prepared! However, it sounds as though there are two sources of anxiety here that have contributed to your present situation: You are not prepared for your tests. and you really aren't motivated to study when you can see the end in sight. This is a deadly combination, as you've discovered. However. there is hope. Here are some tips for you. 1. Work on keeping your anxiety down and your task-related activities up. In otner words. stop thinking about the bind you have put yourself in and begin thinking about your subjects . Every tlme you find your thoughts trying to worry about how you are going to do on a test, pick up a book. Time spent worrying ts wasted time -time that you don't have to waste. 2 . Go to your professor{s) and ask if you can get a copy or copies of past tests so that you can use them to prepare. If past tests are not available from the professor and you don•t know any students who have taken the class, make up a test yourself using your best guess about what the professor will ask, Then work to find complete answers to your questions. 3. If you have to cram, identify one or two really important points, items, formulas, or whatever applies to your subject. Concentrate on learning these so well that you can do them in your sleep. Tb.is ts so that no matter how many questions on the test you can't answer, there are some that you can answer correctly. This also helps make the study task less overwhelming, as you can't possibly learn everything about a subject overnight. You never know. This technique has been known to save a student's grade in a class! 4. Remember when taking your tests: On true/false test, on average. more than half of the questions are "True." On multiple-choice tests, the longest, most complete choice is usually right. On essay tests, read the question and structure your answer in the same way that the question is posed. Make your main points clearly and then fill in the addition information. 5 : Check out the study skills, test anxiety, and other talks available to you through the Student Development Office. These are usually only one hour each, but they may be well worth your investment in time! The Counseling Center is also available to help. Call at 556-3132.

Drinking, driving a problem on a commuter campus TPC from page 4 "Having multiple establishments serving alcohol really sends a message to people that's kind of incompatible, in my thinking, with the mission of an institution of higher education," Sugar said. He also emphasized the fact that Auraria is a commuter campus. " Obviously, people have to drive home," he said. According to his survey results, 39 percent of the respondents conceded that they had driven while intoxicated at least once during the previous year. Sugar's survey was conducted last November and included more than 500 MSCD students. · Maggie Miller, acting director of student activities, raised the point that the

setting in which alcohol is served may be more important than the sheer number of drinking establishments. "The type of alcohol consumption that I see when I see a person having a glass of wine at dinner is very different from what I see happening at a club that has 'two-fers' or 'ladies nights,"' she said. Sugar agreed and said, "As you change the atmosphere, the environment in which people drink, that's going to influence how much they drink." "I think you can have a student bar in which you don't create an atmosphere where excess is an expectation," said Jeanine Cowan, co-chairwoman of the committee. Concern was raised about the loss of revenue which might result from a change of use in the Club Infinity space.

Jo Ann Soker, the other cochairwoman of the TPC, suggested that an alternative use, not substantially different than a nightclub operation, could generate revenue. A high volume restaurant, with a liquor license, is an alternative she said should be considered. After more discussion, the TPC voted unanimously to take the position to find a different tenant for the Club Infinity space and that the space should be used for something -other than a nightclub after the Tivoli becomes the student union. In closing his presentation to the committee, Sugar encouraged the group to "think more about what other ways we can help our students wind down, relax, or have a place to socialize, other than in places that are connected somehow with alcohol."

New support groups offer more help to students; members encouraged to sign-up for mentor In addition to the Mentorship Program, the Student Development Center also sponsors several support groups as just another way to nurture students and give them the support they need to succeed. · Two of the newest groups, the Young Men's Support Group and the Young Parent's Support Group provide a network of support for the students in the groups. The Young Men's Support Group meets twice a month ~d has about 10 young men participating. "We intend to do a number of things that will develop, support and encourage young men in their professional academic and personal lives," said Jean-Noe 1 Thompson, facilitator of the group. Thompson also works as co-coordinator of the Mentorship Program. "If you look at the stats of young men on campus, the success and graduation rates are not as high as they should be," Thompson said. "If young women have difficulties, they tend to find help, but y·o ung men tend to ignore the fact that there is a problem."

Some of the members of The Young Men's Support Group from left to right; Ray Allen, Carlton Grixby, Rick Haynes, Edward Robinson, Jean-Noel Thompson, Lemule Pulley and Jason Martinez. Although the group has only met a few times, the young men who are participating have found it be rewarding and beneficial. "When I came to Metro as a freshman I thought college was going to be picturesque," sophomore Lemule "Gome"

About The Program The Mentorship Program is a campus-wide initiative through the Student Development Center that supports students' academic development and success. Martelle Chapital, director of the Student Development Center, created the progrtam to not only nurture students, but also to help guide students through their higher education maz~f ·Mentors, who are faculty and staff members at MSCD or members of the community, are matched with students with whom they will devdop a personap.zed partnership. · You can find the Mentorship Program in CN 112, 5564737. Martelle Chapital or Jean-Noel Thompson will gladly answer any questions about the Program

Pulley said. Pulley, who is a hotel and restaurant management major, said he joined the group to become more involved with campus activities. "People on campus don't really interact and this is a good way to make friends. College is rough - you need friends for support to fall back on," he said. Ray Allen, another sophomore major in the group, also joined the group to become more involved in campus activities and to find other young men who are having similar problems. "The brothers out there - they don't know how to ask for help. They don't know how to," Allen, a business major, said. "You'll be heard - it' s

okay to be heard." The Young Men's Support Group is open to any young male student who is looking for support or just wants to meet other student with similar problems. Young · men involved with the group are also encouraged to sign-up with the Mentorship Program. The other new support group sponsored by the Student Development Center, is the Young Parents' Support Group. This group hopes to provide a network for and help students who are struggling to juggle school and parenthood. "It's very difficult for young parents, especially single parents, to try to go to school and raise their children without

For the second time, Dean Smith benefited from a bizarre ending in the Superdome to win the national championship. The worst of it is that none of our experts picked North Carolina to win the NCAA tournament. Remember, I used the word "experts" very loosely. With the North Carolina victory, the New Orleans Superdome might be forced to change its name to the Dean Dome, as Smith has won both national championships in the dome and is 0-6 elsewhere. In the 1982 NCAA title game, in Dean Dome II, the University of North Carolina was up 53-52 when Michael Jordan hit his memorable jump-shot. With 10 seconds left, Georgetown's Fred Brown hurried the ball up court and passed the ball behind him, to what he believed was a Georgetown player, but it 534-8909 was UNC's James Worthy.
