Ferrill/Lemak land top posts Katarina Ahlfort Staff Writer

The ticket of Barb Ferrill and Lucian Lemak won the MSCD student government election last week, receiving 68 percent of the votes.

President-elect Ferrill will take office in the middle of May, but she has already started working toward the goals of the new administration. .

With vice president-elect Lemak, Ferrill is planning to make faculty evaluations available for students before they select classes this fall semester.

"Student government has worked on this issue in the past, and the facu lty has already approved four evalu ation questions being disclosed to students," Ferrill said.

Faculty are divided on the issue, she said.

Some agree with the evaluations being open to the public and other faculty members argue that it is a matter of information that should stay within each department.

MSCD President Tom Brewer said the faculty evaluations "should be disclosed," and would have been published years ago if the students would have worked harder on pushing the issue forward .

"Some insecure faculty members are against publishing the evaluations," Brewer said. "Generally, the evaluations can identify the 'clinkers."'

The main problem some faculty members have with the evaluations, Brewer said, is that

Matthew Bates administration. · "Hopefully, there will be a new emphasis on local issues instead of global issues," Bates said. "The important global issues, like the environmental problems, can be applied locally through recycling programs."

Bates said the student government needs to focus on creating a difference on campus.

"You'd be bard pressed trying to find students who can say that the last student government did anything of real substance. I'd like to see students in the future being able to say, 'at least these three things have been changed by the government,"' Bates said. "Student government has to justify its existence to the students."

Another important issue, he said, is that more students should participate in the campus programs and processes.

MSCD student government president-elect, 22-year-old Barb Ferrill, said she is "really excited" about the elected senate members, who will provide continuity to student government.

"It takes a long time to learn the processes within the government," Ferrill said, "and most of the 'new' senators have been around for a long time. They know how things work around here."

Ferrill started her political career as former student government President Chip Wiman 's chief of staff, after a year's work with Colorado Public Interest Research Group.

Comparing MSCD to other state colleges and universities, Ferrill described the college as more than just an educational alternative.

"An indication of how good a school is, is how small the classes are. At

"At this college, the students are not shielded from the real world. The teachers and students are 'real people,' from 'real homes.' People live in reality.

Not in a dorm where Mom sends them $50 a week," she said.

each student gets one semester's snapshot of a faculty person, and that teachers can have "bad and good semesters."

The new student government is also planning to work on a policy that says student fees cannot be increased or changed without the consent of students through a vote.

Ferrill said it will take much work to get the policy implemented, and the government is presently working on a strategy to get it approved.

"Our first step will be to try to get the state trustees to accept the policy so that the fees can't be raised unless students

approve it," Ferrill said.

Ferrill and Lemak will also write a new constitution for the student government and make the government into one single group, Ferrill said. The senate and the executive cabinet will work together in the future in order to avoid conflicts between the groups, she said.

"Also, we will hammer out a tuition deferment policy, which means that the students can pay off tuition as they go," Ferrill said. "The administration has already agreed to it, and the government under President Tom Mestnik has already laid the groundwork for the policy."

Applications will be available beginning April 5 in the Student Activities Office. All applications are due on April 19, and employment begins in May/June (negotiable).

MSCD marijuana advocate runs for city council Jesse Stephenson The Metropolitan

Ellen Archer, president of the Auraria chapter of the National Organization for the repeal of Marijuana Laws and third year MSCD student has announced her candidacy for a seat on the Denver City Council.

Archer, 33, a mother of three.said she is in the process of raising money for her campaign and will begin door-to-door solicitation of her Southeast Denver District pending the completion of her campaign literature.

"At this point I think it's going to be a

word-of-mouth campaign" Archer said, adding that she plans to gain political support at MSCD and will do some politicking here.

Although Archer has never held a political office, she lobbies for the legalization of marijuana for medicinal purposes and said she supports any promarijuana bill.

"We just need to legalize," Archer said, citing increased tax revenues from the legal sale of pot she has proposed as a possible source of funding for some of the social and transportation programs.

As well as advocating pot for medicinal and commodity usage, Archer

makes no bones about her personal use of marijuana: "I've smoked pot and enjoyed it," she said.

Archer doesn't view her lack of experience or views on pot legalization as a boon to her political aspirations.

"I feel that's what makes me different," she said, adding that she won't jump out of the political arena if she doesn't win the seat on the city council. "I just want to get in a position where I can get these ideas out," Archer said. "This is just going to get my feet wet in politics."

Archer's platform for city council also includes plans for prison reform, better sex education and pregnancy

programs, improved drug rehabilitation programs that would allow immediate treatment for those willing to give up their addictions and a magnetic levitated commuter train to be constructed along the 1-25 corridor. She will address snow removal problems as well as women's issues such as child care and welfare.

"Most of what I'm about is coming from a feminine viewpoint," Archer sii.id.

She said she will continue to work toward her degree in broadcast journalism and remain an active voice for marijuana reform as well.

"I'm committed to that," she said.

Bomb squad called to Science Building.following threat Antoinette Vecchio The Metropolitan

The Science Building evacuated Monday after someone phoned in a bomb threat to the biology department.

At 12:45 p.m., a man with a foreign accent called the biology department and said that thirty pounds of plastic explosives were set to go off within 30 minutes, said Officer E.C. Daugherty of Auraria Public Safety.

Janet I. Kennedy, a secretary in the office, said she received the static-filled call and asked the man three times to repeat his message.

"He said there was a bomb," she said. " ...I asked him if he called public safety

and he hung up."

Ms. Kennedy then called APS and within ten minutes, three officers arrived on the second floor of the building, she said.

Jim Ferguson, director of community services, said the Denver Bomb Squad was also called to the scene.

APS officers began going through the building telling people to leave, Ms. Kennedy said. Some people, however, were left behind.

One instructor was in his office and another was teaching his class of about 25 students. Another person was in the copy room downstairs, she said.

There is no public address system in the building, Ms. Kennedy said, so it was

difficult to get everyone out quickly.

Those who did get out stood just outside the building until APS deemed it safe for everyone to reenter, she said.

According to Daugherty, people were allowed back into the building at l :30 p.m., 15 minutes after the alleged bomb was to go off.

A search of the building for the alleged bomb was not conducted, he said.

"It is not possible to do a search in a building like this," Daugherty said.

Ms. Kennedy said she believed APS did not take the threat seriously, reinforcing that the occupants of the building were not taken a far distance from the building.

"If it (the alleged bomb) would have

exploded, everybody would have went with it because we were right outside the building," she said.

Ferguson, however, disagreed, saying that APS took many things under consideration before making any decisions.

"We take everything very seriously," he said.

Auraria has had bomb threats in the past, Ferguson said, and APS action has ranged from posting notices on buildings to actual evacuation.

Both Kennedy and Daugherty agree that the threat may have been a student trying to get out of taking an exam.

An investigation into the incident is currently underway.

According to Dick Ross, director of capitol assets, the child care center will be expanded by 9,000 feet at the northwest side, which is an area for preschoolers and conference rooms. The multipurpose room and the toddler area will also be · remodeled. Cost of the proposed project runs $1,788,000 or $98 per square foot.

The space will be appreciated by both child care staff as well as student parents. " We have a backlog that typically takes a year to a year-and-a-half to enroll a child with the current space," Jump said.

Metro Alternatives! Metro Alternatives is the substance abuse prevention program at MSCD. This program is housed in the Counseling Center, CN 203.

Activities for Metro Alternatives include a Dysfunctional Family Group, a campus and community Advisory Board, and programming for National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week and Safe Spring Break Campaign, just to name a few of the many-things we do. We began in October of 1991 with a grant of $122,283 from the U.S. Department of Education, via the Fund for the Improvement of Post-Secondary Education (FIPSE). FIPSE provides grants to colleges and universities nationwide for substance abuse prevention programs. Metro Alternatives is designed to reach the commuter population at MSCD. The program is actively aligned with the MSCD BACCHUS Chapter, The Metro Connections Program (a campus peer helper program), the Student Health Center, and a host of other MSCD departments.

Finding good "clean" fun

The Survey Says ...

The Core Drug and Alcohol Survey was.developed to measure attitudes and usage among college students at two and four year institutions. Development of this survey was funded by the U. S.

Students pay $3 to park in lots farthest from classrooms Lisa Westenskow-Dayley Staff Writer Students charged extra money for parking in campus lots during the Rockies' home opener will be reimbursed, said Auraria ' s director of parking services.

"We had a real communication gap," said Mark Gallagher, the parking director. " Apparently a few students wound up paying the special event rate of three dollars (rather than the normal $1.50 or $1.25)." Miscommunication was most evident in lot E, Gallagher said.

With an expected attendance rate of 80,000 baseball fans, Mile High Stadium faced a parking shortage that resulted in Auraria opening up lots C, B and F for Rockies spectators. The parking department advertised parking for the game in The Metropolitan.

"Normally, all our advertisements limit public parking for Friday evening, Saturdays and Sundays," Gallagher said.

"Friday is an anomaly." _ "The $3 fee has al ways be en our special event rate," said JoAnn Soker, executive vice president for administration. " Apparently there was some problem in training communication.

Whatever happened, it was a mess."

Gallagher said parking attendants didn ' t a sk parkers for student identification because "a lot of students don't have IDs or don' t want to carry IDs. "There are students who take objection to being asked for them," he said. "We didn't feel that was a fair way to ask."

Gallagher gave the example of someone wearing a Rockies shirt, not having a student identification and still being a student.

Students attending class found increased parking fees on Friday baseball caps do they look like they' re going to clas s to eat lunch?" a sked Kersten K e1t . h , S tu d ent Ad v1. sory Committee to the Auraria Board member.

"Students didn ' t pay bond fees to subsidize the community. If we're going to subsidize the community to park here during Rockies games than all of...the. money should go for the students."

Gallagher said Auraria had no intention of trapping students in the lot for the higher fee.

"We had intended to give students change to use the coin machine or give them directions to lot F or another lot.

Unfortunately we didn't communicate that at times."

However, the problem has a simple remedy. If you have a parking ticket from that day , you can change it in for a parking pass for lot E. Students who were overcharged should go to the Parking and Transportation Center at 777 Lawrence Way or call 556-2000.

Metro Connections Dear Metro Connections: I don't usually have trouble ln school. In high school, I got As and Bs in all my classes, and I got along with most of my teachers. When I came to Metro, I found that my teachers aren't around very often (some of them are part-time), and they don't seem really helpful to me. HI miss a test or assignment, some of them haven't been willing to work with me to tmd a time to make it up. Plus, they don't teach the same way that my other teachers did. They don't seem to be as interested in me. Also, on tests, they don't tell us what to study. They just give a test over all the material we've covered in the semester, and I don't know what to expect so I can't study very well.

Then, I don't do as well in the class as I might have. I want to do well in college.

How do I get this to change?

Signed, Getting Cs Dear Getting Cs: You have identified some key ways that college is different from high school.

Walter and Siebert in their hook Student Success, have explained this as the reason many students either drop out of college or struggle through it. It is the difference between a teaching environment and a learning envii-onment. All of your previous education experiences have been in a teaching environment. This means that what you learned was dependent ·upon how well your teachers could teach you.

Elementary, junior high, and high school teachers are certified to teach. They have had education courses that prepare them to be responsible for the learning of their students'. They teach in the same building and sometimes the same classroom every day, and they are readily accessible to students and parents.

This is· not usually true in college. College teachers may or may not have any education experience or training at all. This is because college is a learning environment, which means that the responsibility for learning the material is your responsibility and not the teacher's. College professors are usually hired because they have advanced knowledge about a given subject area to offer you. This is what you pay for in college - advanced knowledge that high school can't or doesn't have time to provide. It is up to you, then, to get what you can from them.

However, Metro State College prides itself on its teachers. Instructors here do not have the same requirements to publish that some other professors have .

Therefore, you need to pursue and persevere with your instructors if you need something legitimate from them . You always have the option of going to that teacher 's department chair if you are unable to arrange for any of your teacher's time after trying all other available avenues.

If you would like to submit a question or comment to this column, please drop it by the MSCD Counseling Center located in CN 203. We don't publish names. ff you would like a p ersonal response, please include your name and phone number and we will get back to you.

Stolen ride UCD employee Timothy Kauk reported to Auraria police April 3 that he was unable to locate his car. Kauk said he had parked the car, a 1983 Datsun, facing north in the fourth handicapped space east of the southwest corner of Lot R, according to a police report. A search of the lot by the responding officer and Kauk was fruitless, the report said. There was no glass evident to indicate forced entry, the report said.

An Auraria police officer was dispatched to the library on the report of a theft, police said. MSCD student Curtis Johnson said someone had taken his wallet, and a woman, Ngon Tran, of Denver, had witnessed the event on the second floor of the library and pointed out the thief to Johnson, the report said.

Tran said she saw the man pick up Johnson's wallet and walk to a cubical, police said. Tran identified Grant as the person she saw pick up the wallet, the report said. At APS, Johnson identified Grant as the person who Tran's boyfriend had pointed out to him, police said.

Police searched Grant and his belongings and did not find the wallet, the report said. The wallet was not found in a later, more extensive search, the report said.

Jazzed Norman Provizer, the MSCD political science chairman, reported to Auraria police March 29 that $3,000 worth of jazz compact disks were missing from his office, according to a police report.

Provizer said he kept a collection of jazz disks in his office, and he last saw the set at 1 p.m., March 19, before he left the campus for spring break, the report said. When he returned at noon on March 29, he noticed the disks were missing.

Provizer told police he keeps bis office door locked when he is away from his desk. Police said there was no sign of forced entry, no suspects and no leads.

Media shows lack of responsibility in making heroes of 'Spur Posse' and their sexual exploits FRANKLY SPEAKING SHAWN CHRISTOPHER Cox

-

,.--

Over the past couple of weeks, three members from "Spur Posse" who reside in Lakewood, Calif., have been profiled on talk shows, radio programs and in newspapers and magazines.

One of the prerequisites to be in this gang is to be sexually active. "Scoring" with girls who are as young as 10 years old is the main goal of this gang, which includes many top athletes.

The high school students profiled have bragged about having sex with more than 40 girls and young women. What an accomplishment.

This is a sad commentary on society, but worse yet the media is exploiting the situation. This definitely belongs in the news to show the culmination of what having a lack of values has done for a generation, but the media has reaffirmed the sexual exploits of these adolescent males.

They have been paid thousands of dollars to appear on talk shows and be featured in tabloids. In addition, they take rides in limousines and other

perks that talk shnw guests receive.

However, I am saddened greatly. Women, you Instead of taking rides in limousines, they should are right. Most men just do not get it.

When men are criticized for their actions and be taking rides to jail. Some of the members are over 18 and if one has had sex with over 40 females, it sexually harassing speech , they often respond can be assured that this has included having sex defensively by whining, "Can't we ever just be men?" with girls under 18.

I guess this means drink, exploit women and be pigs.

So far, the district The answer is no. attorney's office has Or men will respond Having sex just to rack up defensively saying that pressed charges against only one minor, women sexually harass men. points is nothing to be proud This is true and inexcusable but more arrests are of. In fact, it is shameful.

Sexual harassment should be condemned, raping girls. Whether this is true or not (most likely is) is not necessarily the overshadowing issue. period. Whether men or women commit it does not These males are clearly molesting those who matter. they have sex with (consent or not) and the girls who Sexual harassment is nothing but disgraceful consent are molesting themselves. and the media has once again said it is OK for men Having sex just to rack up points is nothing to be to look upon intercourse as "scoring" and women as proud of. In fact, it is shameful. The men of this sexual objects. Media intakers should expect and society should stand up and let it be known that not demand more from the so-called "gatekeepers" of all men believe in sex just to have sex. societal values.

So long and thanks for all the fish

..

and other nonsensical ramblings on the way out the door This is it. This will be the last column I write as a student of MSCD for The Metropolitan. Since I am no valedictorian it is unlikely that I will have a chance to speak to my fellow graduating seniors at the commencement ceremonies, I thought this would be.my best chance to share just a few thoughts before we move on into the future.

After all, we are the future .

With the increasing pressures of our finals , job searches and the possibility of graduate school, its hard to picture this future and sometimes even harder to believe that it is bright.

Let me tell you, though, my fellow seniors , that because of you the future is very bright indeed.

We are not being thrust out into the "real world" incapable of dealing with its problems. On the contrary, we are prepared to not only recognize the difficulties ahead but we also hold the power within our selves to correct them. However, it is up to us. We now stand on our own to take up the banner and fight for what is needed to make this world right. We now face the cold winds that have been blowing across this world bringing disaster, . war, famine and environmental damage on a scale that was never before imagined. We now have the power to change it all.

It doesn't matter what our

individual degrees are in, or what to get a good job, raise a family , field we hope to pursue as a career. recycle aluminum cans and not drive What matters is that we are entering on high pollution days . It is not the world as trained individuals during enough to accept the status quo. It is a crucial time in our world's history. time for change of global We stand poised to leap to the proportions and the only way it can heavens and a glorious future for come about is if we struggle to make ourselves and our fellow human it so. And believe when I say that beings, or stumble and fall into the pit you, my fellow students, have the of past indiscretions and reckless power to not only make that struggle, incon~ideration. Which way the world but be successful.

It is that one ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ frightening person cannot change the world. My and dangerous because it requires a reply was that if one person doesn't commitment unlike any we have ever try, then who will. It is up to each of experienced and it contains a power us in whatever way we can, within that is unimaginable . It is this whatever field or function we find potential that we must bring out of ourselves in our so~iety, to strive to ourselves and others. It is this potential that we must allow to thrust change the path of the world.

Certainly, this can be done in the us into the battle for the future; a smallest of ways by simply trying to future of hope, happiness, success be kind to world around us and and achiev~ment. setting a good example for those Every day we are constantly around us, but I no longer believe bombarded with insidious messages that this is enough. to relax, partake in the shallowness of WE MUST STRIVE TO EXCEL!!!! the mediocrity, strive to succeed but It is not enough to accept not excel, fit in and be part of the mediocrity any more. It is not enough crowd. Well shrug off that heavy

a

,

mantle that is holding you down ! Dare to dream of the greatness that could be yours and thus humanity's!

Summon up the courage to take the chance of fighting for what you believe in rather than complaining about it within the dim confines of some bar.

We are an unstoppable force, except for one thing; ourselves. If we continue to hold ourselves back from what the future could possibly hold, thfm those who follow behind us will be left with the same stagnant and empty world that surrounds us now.

Even worse, those who follow may find nothing but the simple struggle for survival. It is our duty to not let this happen.

You should all be proud of yourselves for graduating; a difficult task. I am proud of you all as well and have high hopes for what can be done by the graduating class of Spring '93. If I can leave you with only one thought to carry with you as you venture out into the future it would be this: Remember that you are your own future. Remember that the only limits that can be set for you are set by you. Remember that each one of us holds the power to change the future of humankind and it is up to us what is done with that power.

Go forth and kick some butt.

LETTERS Spanish teacher ignores value Trustees: Reinstate committee

of computers in the classroom In a famous line from the 1948 movie, "Treasure of Sierra Madre," a Mexican bandit played by Alfonso Bedoya says "Badges? I don't have to show you any stinking badges!"

Recently in my Spanish class, our teacher, Alfonso Cervantes, belittled computer users, with both words and gestures. That may pass for humor where Alfonso comes from, but I think it sends the wrong message as a provider of high paying jobs.

Last June, two of my nephews and one of my nieces graduated from universities. One nephew is finishing his first year in medical school, where his PC is invaluable in helping him keep abreast of the incredible amount of material which he is responsible for.

Another nephew, who graduated in aeronautical engineering , found the job prospects in that field practically nonexistent, so he did not pursue the advanced degree he would need. He was able to get a job with the

investment department of a Chicago bank, writing programs for the computer trading team. The niece was able to find employment in Spain last summer and in Italy this winter because she nas computer skills.

Spain' s unemploym·ent rate is 17 percent.

Society today views the people who are involved with computers much differently than in the past. The founders of major software companies are greatly respected. These people identify with the music of the sixties and 1 970s, and have themselves become part of the culture. Hispanic educators in the Denver Public Schools continually call for more computers in their schools. Countless people at Metro State have worked to make this a quality institution . We need to carry that on.

may be time to wander over to the Counseling Center for a checkup.

Incidentally, almost all of the many genocides in our century have been committed, not by Republicans, or even Democrats, but by such advocates of the primacy of the State as Hitler, Stalin, Mao; and Manilow. If you just have to get paranoid, maybe it would be a good idea to spend a little time worrying about people like that.

The Institutional Advisory Comm ittee (IAC) created through election and appointment was dismissed by the Board of Trustees.

Apparently , this committee is no longer a part of the search process. A recent memorandum from Glenn Burnham , president of the trustees, assumes that the IAC exists. However, as of this date, members of the IAC have not be notified of any reinstatement.

The decision to abort the search and remove the IAC from the search process came as a great surprise to the committee . As we arrived on March 12, to participate in a closed session with the trustees, we were individually informed that the search for a new president had been aborted.

At no time did the Trustees or any representative of that body meet with the IAC to explain the reasons for the action taken by the trustees that day.

Subsequently, Burnham sent a memo via fax to each IAC member apologizing for the disrespectful way we were treated.

The timing of the decision by the Board of Trustees is unclear because of the variety of mailings to candidates , the committee's correspondence and newspapers. No one on the committee received prior notice regarding the decision.

However, it was clearly stated by the trustees that the IAC was being held responsible for the leak. There is no proof that this is· true, and the insinuation of guilt has left a stain on our professional reputations.

The open records law is complex

mik, mik, or _mak

and we all agree it is an important issue. The decision whether or not the search would be completely open to the public under the sunshine laws was simultaneous to the search . A decision was due to be handed down in a court of law resolving this issue on March 17. However, since the search was aborted by the Board of Tru!)tees, the court deciston became a moot issue. This decision would have set an important precedent for the state of Colorado.

The IAC designed the search and carefully, deliberately, and with great seriousness of purpose, reduced the list of 66 to 1O candidates. The IAC did an excellent job of identifying qualified candidates. Our work product is obviously valued. This is reflected by the fact that the trustees have accepted and are using this list of 10 candidates.

It is very interesting and somewhat contradictory to value the committee's work product but not value the committee. The IAC should be reinstated to ~nable us to participate in the selection process. The current climate on the MSCD campus is confused by many conflicting issues and an overwhelming feeling of distrust of the current presidential process. As a forward-looking, positive step toward rebuilding the trust in the selection process, we request that the Institutional Advisory Committee be reinstated.

Members of the IAC who signed the letter include: J. Douglas Cawley,

Angelina De La Torre, Lynn Denzin, Geri Grimes, F. Elizabeth Friot, Susan Josepher, Ronald M. Knight, Tom Mestnik, Jo Romero

Lines part of life at colleges, universities . I too have been late for class due to holding my sacred place in the financial aid line. It's a drag admittedly but when can you get anything done around here without waiting in a line? I feel I must come to the defense of our sometimes inefficient financial aid office.

I transferred here from another university and relatively speaking our financial aid office is one of the more "user-friendly" ones with .which I've dealt and by far the most efficient of all the beauracracies at this school.

Have you ever dealt with Admissions and Records? I rest my case. As for the "counselors," they may not win a prize for congeniality but they've always been able to answer my questions quickly and correctly. If not, they directed me to someone who coufd. What more do you want, a welcoming committee? My advice to Eric Mccafferty and the numerous financially inept others is to be patient, plan to wait in line and read your mail.

This is just one of many lines in which you'll stand and one of many beauracracies that will try your patients in life. Heaven forbid you ever go on welfare.

Five Points media project more than article revealed With regards to Jenny Dukes's article entitled, "Ten Students Awarded Media Scholarships," (The Metropolitan, April 2) in which the Five Points Media Center Plan is detailed, I felt the need to step forward .and add just a little more than was mentioned in the article.

While no one denies the great opportunities that the. Five Points project and the course , "The Emerging Role of Women and Minorities in Radio and Television" provides, the article misses the mark with what is actually being accomplished. Sure, there are many women and minorities out there who do not have the same opportunities because of finances and many of those路 people are creatively stymied for that very reason.

However, after reading the article I got the feeling that all of us in the class were to be pitied or felt sorry for because we were a poor, unfortunate bunch with no hope for a future - simply because we are minorities or women. That's hardly the case.

In fact, many of the students in the class are professionals who have either already landed their "dream job" as Duke puts it, or who have decided to work their way toward a second career in broadcasting. For example, there is an inspiring 64year-old woman who was the first black woman to earn a journalism degree from DU. Another recently earned a degree in Technical Communications at MSCD and is an accomplished writer in her own right. Still another woman writes for a weekly

newspaper. There is a gentleman who has earned a degree in finance.

The class itself is a discussion of the stereotypes the media perpetuates when it comes to women and to minorities. That is why I said that a course such as this should be required by ALL journalism and broadcast majors. Not because its the multicultual thing to do, but because professionals in the field have consistently shown that they cannot adequately cover stories in ethnic communities without playing up the "poor me" aspect time and time again .

And these aren't perceptions that I've made up.

I'm reminded of a professor who advised me, prior to covering a conference for disadvantaged youth, against touting "the poor me" angle. I'm reminded of the professor who stood up in front of a reporting class and said that the quality of newspapers were going downhill because of affirmative action.

Those are the perceptions the class is working to break down through discussion. Moreover, there is the hope that the class is pushing a new crop of broadcasters into the field who aren't biased, who don't have the same perceptions, but know how to lend dignity to those subjects they are asked to write or tell a story about - regardless of gender or skin color.

POETRY..NOT POETS SLAM TRADITION AS.AURA.RIA STUDENTS M

Lawrence Jones Managing Editor " It's Hemingway versus AJi," and if AJi had been in Cafe Euphrates the night of March 31, he wouJd have been pummeled.

Slam poetry is bursting on to the Denver poetry scene, and this scene is drawing a crowd. The crowd gathers at Cafe Euphrates at the comer of 17th A venue and Franklin Street every fourth Wednesday of the month. There they experience a blend of poetry, performance and competition brought together in a new art form. " People need to get back into poetry," said Laura Moran, organizer of the slam poetry sessions. After moving to Denver, she met MSCD senior Catherine O'Neill, who helped her organize the first slam event. O'Neill is the editor of Poiesis, a local poetry newsletter, and editor of the MSCD arts and literary magazine, Metrosphere.

Moran used to be a "very academic poet" in Rhode Island she said, but discovering slam poetry changed her path. It is a competitive event where poets perform their poetry. Poets are judged on their performance and the quality of the writing. Eight competitors have three minutes to do their best. After two rounds, the field is narrowed down to two poets who go head-tohead to see who will hit a "grand slam" and win first prize, $10.

"There's a little bit of blood and guts," said Mari Christie, artisan editor of Community College of Denver's student news-

Apparently the teachers vents a wonderful tool for getting their stuoetry, according to O'Neill.

Christie considers slam poetry a wonderful opportunity for poets in Denver and the surrounding area. After hosting poetry readings at the Common Grounds coffee shop, she discovered slam poetry and realized its potential for poets.

"It' s a good way to get your work heard," she said.

However, it's not for the faint of heart nor the easily embarrassed.

"It's a spectator sport," she said. "My first slam, I was shaking."

Moran will be organizing more slam events as its popularity grows. More than 100 people came to the slam event held at the end of February and she expects the crowds to continue growing.

The next event planned is a seasonal championship bout to be held in mid-April for the winners of the last three events.

Winning there could ultimately lead to the national championships to be held in San Fr!Ulcisco in October.

Poiesis will be teaming up with Moran for a fund-raiser on May 22 where past national champions will perform to raise funds for the newsletter. The event will be held at the Mercury Cafe. For more information about the fund-raiser and other poetry events around town, call Catherine O'Neill at 697-1317 or look for the Poiesis newsletter on campus.

Baby wanted: Childless couples advertise

in college newspapers hoping to adopt · Lisa Westenskow-Dayley Staff Writer

The family values issue addressed in the November presidential election may indirectly be influencing an increase in individuals and groups offering abortion alternatives through college newspapers.

"Placing these ads in college newspapers has become a pattern across the nation," said Alfonso Suazo, advertising manager for The Metropolitan Since the beginning of the semester, The Metropolitan has run advertisements for an infertile couple, Adoption Alternatives and Alternatives Pregnancy Center. According to Suazo, the ad received by the couple was the first of its kind that he had seen after studying three years of ads in The Metropolitan.

"Advertising in newspapers is an old way of finding a birth mother," said Barbara Liedloss, adoption coordinator at Lutheran Family Services. "It's one of the things that we suggest. I always encourage the couple to do whatever they need to do to feel in control."

While the Rocky Mountain News refuses to carry such ads, The Denver Post and Wes two rd run adoption ads.

Unfortunately, these ads don't come cheap. Where local newspapers charge hundreds of dollars for ads, college newspapers offer a similar service for much less but with a much more specified audience.

Traditional college-age women account for the largest group of women having abortions, giving birth, and placing children for adoption. Such circumstances and the fact that a college newspaper advertisement may cost as little as $5 an inch of space may offer an incentive for infertile couples who say traditional means of adopting a baby have failed.

"Things weren't happening as quickly as we'd hoped," said Joan, who with her husband Stephen placed the adoption ad in The Metropolitan. " If you want to do something you have to go after it yourself."

Joan, 44, a homemaker and former nurse, and Stephen, 38, a lawyer, placed the ad because "the population is so . diverse and that possibly there might be a birth mother whose contemplating adoption."

"Agencies are slow," Joan said, and explained that they had been on a waiting list at an agency for a year and wanted to

"hasten the process because Katherine is getting older."

Katherine, Joan and Stephen's 4-yearold daughter, was adopted as an infant through an open adoption. The couple hopes for a second open adoption.

"For every baby relinquished for adoption two years ago, the National Committee on Adoption estimated that 40 couples were standing in line for any baby of any race," said Mary Sullivan, associate director of the Rocky Mountain Adoption Exchange, the organization that sponsors Wednesday's Child on KCNC Channel 4.

The program features children in need of families.

"If there were a shortage of children, there wouldn't be a need for Wednesday's Child," said Jan Davis of Planned Parenthood. "Adoption is a very difficult choice. Certainly I would recommend adoption, but I don't think anyone needs to feel like they need to produce a baby for someone else. I don't feel they should feel guilty for not continuing the pregnancy."

Joan and Stephen said all options should be considered with a pregnancy.

"There is nothing that says a woman has to raise the child herself," Joan said.

"But on the other hand, " Stephen

said, "Nobody owes us a child."

The couple said if they should meet a woman wanting to offer her child for adoption, they would follow a certain guideline to ensure the process work smoothly for them and the pregnant woman.

The couple explained they would meet with her and get to know each other through a third party such as an adoption agency that would provide counseling for both parties. Joan and Stephen also added that they would do anything within legal bounds to help the birth mom during her pregnancy.

Davis said getting help is a good option but that the decision is still left to the pregnant woman.

"I would certainly advise her to talk to a trusted friend or trained counselor," Davis said, "but she is ultimately responsible for her d~ision.

"We feel it' s basically a personal issue. We certainly don't tell anyone what to do. Our whole goal is that children should be wanted and planned for," Davis said.

Next week, The Metropolitan will talk to students who have be,en involved in and dealt with the abortion decision.

-.

A diverse representation of MSCD's finest student artists, tastefully displayed within the Emmanuel Gallery, opened the MSCD student art show April 7.

Sculpture, paintings, photography and other media were complimented by the former synagogue's charming Oothic and Romanesque architecture, illuminated by spotlights and light from its circular windows.

Close to 200 works of art of a wide variety of mediums were submitted to the show, and about 50 were selected for display and judged by Colorado artists Trish Sangelo, Dale Chisman and Phil Bender, former MSCD student now with the Pirate Art Gallery in Denver.

Like museum pieces of a Mayan king 's tomb, hand-crafted, jade-colored jewelry hung in a display case. A necklace -by Renee Sweet dominated the set with its neo-tech construction.

Jeff Stawicky's oil pastel and acrylic chair, "Untitled," triumphs as a piece of functional art. The furniture's blue, yellow and black coloring features a Klimt-like muse along the chair's back.

The sculpture, "Con el Viento," by Anthony LaCombe, fills the gallery's open space perfectly with its thin iron pole that reaches from its base toward space and then topped by.a marble oval.

In painting, the array was diverse, from sinister subjects to new twists on old masters such as Don McClimans' acrylic, "Mona and Bart," a reproduction of the Mona Lisa cradling the popular cartoon character Bart Simpson in her arms.

Karen Bozik's oil painting, "Ask," follows the bright yellow and red Latino colors with symbolic dual panels: on the right, a vaginal shaped wound on a hand; on the left, a vase cracked in two from the phallic root of the plant inside it.

Photography was abundant in the

show, and the most memorable pieces were "Untitled," Bob Jewett ' s colorful kaleidoscope construction of flower petals and leaves, and Ron Herrera's "Merida."

The toned print's mood of a casual moment at a sidewalk cafe is as instant as any of · Cartier-Bresson 's work.

"Medda's" value will prove to be high documentary art in ~bout 50 years when it echoes society's popular culture.

The show is a triumph in presenting the intimacy between th.e artist's expression of art and the viewer's personal reaction to it.

The show runs through April 22.

Gallery hours are Monday through Friday, 11 to 5 p.m. For more information, call 556-8337.

'Runners 5th in tourney Angie Reese Sports Reporter Six games in three days can really wear out a baseball team- physically and mentally.

MSCD's baseball team figured that out this past weekend when they hosted the 14th Annual Denver Metro Baseball Tournament.

"It's difficult to keep the motivation level when you 're playing double-header after double-header," said Head Coach Vince Porreco.

"That was our problem, keeping our heads in the ball game the entire game," he said. · The Roadrunners finished fifth in the tournament with a tournament record of 23-1.

Thursday was the first day of the tournament and the 'Runners lost to Ft. Hays State, 11-5. Then they played against Mesa State College, who went on to win the tournament, and lost 12-3.

Porreco said it was hard facing these particular teams on the first day of the tournament.

"These are the two top teams in the conference," he said.

Friday, the 'Runners' ball playing

was a little better. They shut down Denver University, 6-0. They had to play Colorado School of Mines but because of time limits, only one extra inning was allowed and the final score was an 8-8 tie.

"A tie is nothing in baseba]l," Porreco said. "There's no winner and no loser.

"We had the opportunity to shut them down but we didn't get the job done," he added.

On Saturday, the final day of the tournament, the 'Runners started the day with a close defeat to the University of Northern Colorado, 11-10.

"We made a few mistakes and the other teams took advantage of it," Porreco said. "It's what we've done all season."

The 'Runners were still able to finish the tournament strong with an easy victory of 14-1 over the Colorado School of Mines.

Although they didn't finish in the tournament as well as they wished, Porreco said that he still saw some positive ball playing from his young team.

"Even the games we lost, we played well at times," he said.

The 'Runners are now 10-20-1 overall and 4-3-1 in the Mile High Baseball League.

Volleyball team signs prime recruiting class

•...-

The future is so bright for the women's volleyball team, Rhonda McMullen has to wear shades.

With nine returning starters from a 28-10 team, receiving Colorado Athletic Conference coach of the year and finishing the season ranked seventh in NCAA Division II, McMullen has just added three blue chip prospects to make the outlook for next years team look even better.

"This could be the best team we have ever had," Coach McMullen said. "It's all how !hey jell as a team."

The only negative aspect going into next season is how to replace the CAC's most valuable player, Stacy Goldsberry.

But the outlook got brighter with the edition of transfer Melanie Hunter from Princeton, where she earned freshman player of the year in the Ivy league.

"She's the right side (volleyball player on the court) I've always been looking for," McMullen said.

The other expected boost to an

already talented team is with the edition year's team-a team that lost in the first of California junior college transfer round of the Division II regional playoff against the University of Northern Chelsea Terrell.

"She is real knowlColorado-but edgeable about the add the newcomers and game," McMullen said this team is about Terrell's intellideep in talent. gence on the court.

"She should make a big T h e impact on the team Roadrunners right away." are led by the talented twoJunior college some of Alltransfer from California, Julie Region middle blocker Crissy Stranahan, will add another experienced Canada and back-up player, and it Wyn em a Hunter. seems the Lady "These Roadrunners are loaded two will be at every position.

"These three will one of the best immediately make us a tandems in the country," better team," McMullen Rhonda McMullen McMullen said. said.

The team is But the already good enough with the nine returning starters from last talent doesn't end with the two-some; it

only begins. The closest version of Supergirl, who can leap tall buildings in a single bound, is Junior outside hitter Debbie Guck with her 32 inch vertical jump.

The biggest surprise of last year's team occurred when Dana Stright suffered a season-ending shoulder injury, and Tracy Thompson stepped up and earned a selection on the All- Tournament team in the Portland State Tournament.

The specialists have a maj~r role on any team. Lora Houdek is the key to the offense with her precise sets that give the talented spikers excellent opportunities for a kill. Katie Horvath is an important cog on the defensive wheel and brings a great attitude to the team.

"I wish I had 15 Katie Horvaths with her attitude," McMullen said.

The only problem facing McMullen next year is deciding who to play.

"Everybody thinks they should be starting," she said about the abundance of talent on her team.

What a nice dilemma she has-an' abundance of talent.

few years has helped them in their coaching abilities.

"I understand the coach's responsibility but also understand the responsibilities as a player," Vince said.

Their first year in coaching together at MSCD has definitely had its ups and downs, having a record of 10-20-1.

"Coaching has been hard with all the new faces," Dan said. "I mean, we're new faces."

The team chemistry of new players, and new coaches - well, things are getting better," Dan said.

Although this is their first time coaching together for a college team, they have coached together in past years.

When they were both at Wyoming, they coached for two years for the Senior

Babe Ruth League, a team for boys 16-18 years. Dan continued to coach the team when Vince was playing in Italy.

Most recently, while Vince was here as an assistant coach, Dan was helping coach Wheat Ridge High School. He helped lead that team to the 1992 State High School Championship.

Off the baseball field, Vince is the equipment manager for MSCD and Dan is a physical education teacher and athletic director for Our Lady of Fatima Catholic School in Jefferson County.

Both Porrecos are happy with where they are now. They enjoy coaching at MSCD and they enjoy coaching together. " I would Jove to see the program build and build," Dan said.

"It's been fun," he said. "A real good experience."
