MSCD act_ ually two schools

Week of the young child

Susan K. Goddard The Metropolitan

It could be argued that MSCD is actually two schools. The first is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and caters to traditional students. The second opens at 5 p.m. and offers classes to nontraditional students.

Most people would consider a traditional student to be 18 or 19 years old and have just completed high school. However, the average age of a student at MSCD is 27.9 years, according to the school's census report for 1992. In fact, 19.l percent of students are between the ages of 25 and 29, 11.7 percent between 30 and 34, and 19.3 percent are 35 or older.

Many of these older students experience conflicting . responsibilities when they try to add school to a 40-hour work week and a family that needs attention. These nontraditional students know that something has to give when conflicts arise, and it's usually attendance.

"Most of the teachers are demanding but are willing to work with most students, especially those who have conflicting responsibilities," said Jett Conner, interim associate vice president for academic affairs at MSCD. "There is a lot of flexibility at this school."

However, not all teachers appreciate the difficulties of keeping the juggling balls of those responsibilities in the air.

"Some teachers tend to treat it more like secondary school," Conner said.

It is the consequences of those conflicting responsibilities that cause stressful situations for students whose grades have been affected by attendance.

In one extreme case, Raymond E. Baldwin received an 'F' for a class he had completed, but his attendance had dropped to about 60 percent because of health and family problems. He had also lost credit in another class, making bis total of completed hours less than required for bis financial aid, which was suspended.

Baldwin, 43, appealed both his grade and his financial aid. The grade appeal is still in process whereas the financial aid appeal was denied.

"The grade appeal process is very disconcerting for the student," Baldwin said. "Problems snowball when you have so many responsibilities."

Megan McClard, the professor involved in the grade dispute, said the most important thing about her creative writing workshop is the workshop. " If you sign up for a workshop that requires your participation, that's your responsibility," she said. "I think we at Metro bend over backwards, but it's not our responsibility when students take on too much.

The college's student handbook states that all ..._....,_ _~---------------------------~-~-------- students are expected to attend all classes but there is no universal policy.

"A universal policy would be a dangerous thing," said Michael Brown, assistant to the dean in the school of business. "It's hard to get a universal policy when you're catering to both traditional and nontraditional students. You want more flexibility rather than less flexibility."

Presidential finalists named Jeff Wiiiiams

The Metropolitan The trustees of the State Colleges in Colorado announced the four finalists for president of MSCD Monday and invited them for interviews on campus and tours led by the Institutional Advisory Committee between April 25 and May 7.

The four finalists are: Robert Caret, executive vice president and provost at Towson State University in Baltimore; Roberto Haro, chief executive officer of the Monterey campus of San Jose State University; Sheila Kaplan, chancellor at the University of Wisconsin at Parkside; and Charlie Nelms, chancellor of Indiana University East.

Each candidate will spend two days on campus meeting a number of constituent groups. The IAC will report any feedback they have on the finalists to the trustees before a new president is selected.

Gary Reiff, chairman of the trustees' president search committee, said the board's decision was very difficult.

"We found all eight finalists to be good candidates," Reiff said. "We found the four individuals who are best for Metro State at this time."

MSCD provost David Williams, the only finalist from MSCD, did not make the cut.

The search was restarted after being suspended by the trustees, which followed the printing of the 13 original applicants from Colorado in The

program exists at Metropolitan State College," Haro said. "No administrator worth his or her salt would pass up this chance."

MSCD President Thomas Brewer said his successor will have a difficult time dealing with Amendment 1.

"Amendment 1 has effectively shut-down higher education in the state of Colorado," Brewer said. "You (the new president) will have to look strongly at the enrollment-management task force report. Really, I think the school is going to have to cap (enrollment)."

Haro, however, said he is ready to deal with Amendment 1.

"California has been through that cycle. We're no strangers to a budget entrenchment process," Haro said. "In the past, publicly supported institutions have been state supported. They must now become state assisted. Colorado must find other soutces of income."

The other three candidates were contacted but refused to comment before

The second panel session at MSCD's sixth World Issues Forum, called "The Disintegration of Nation States," spotlighted three examples of areas in the modem world that are presently being plagued by crisis: the former Soviet Union, Yugoslavia and Somalia.

"To me, 1993 represents the failure of politic.al ideology and systems," said Robert Hazan, professor of political science at MSCD, when addressing the case of Yugoslavia.

The two other speakers on the panel were professor of psychology at MSCD Elena Bodrova and MSCD student Abdi Osman.

Bodrova talked about the former Soviet Union and Osman spoke about Somalia.

The forum, held at St. Francis Interfaith Center and the Student Union April 14 and 15 , featured six panel sessions during the two days.

Topics of the panels focused on some of the global issues that permeate the modern world and were discussed by faculty and students at Auraria as well as members of the outside community.

Brooks Van Everen, an MSCD history

professor, served as the moderator and commentator for the panel on April 14.

Van Everen, who bas traveled to the Soviet Union several times, talked about the state of affairs in Russia and the newly formed independent nations that surround Russia.

Van Everen said the collapse of the Soviet Union was different than anything else that has happened in history .

"Most multi-national empires have experienced a loss as a result of war," Van Everen said. "This did not happen in the Soviet Union. The people who brought an end to the Soviet Union were the Russians."

Van Everen said Mikhail Gorbachev set loose problems in the Soviet Union that helped lead to the August 1991 coup.

Policies introduced by Gorbachev, such as perestroika and glasnost, released ethnic tensions that bad been bottled up.

Bodrova continued with the discussion of the Soviet Union.

"There are a lot of misunderstandings and misconceptions," Bodrova said of the So' iet Union.

According to Bodrova. these problems can be geographic, historical or economic in nature. For example, the Cremia on the peninsula of the Black Sea historically belonged to Russia, and was the site of many Russian victories of war. The Ukrainians·; however, claim this territory as their own. Thus, today the Cremia is an area of tension in regards to the ambiguous ownership of the area.

Bodrova said there is also conflict over who owns natural resources as well as nuclear reactors and missiles that once

"Yugoslavia is falling apart," Hazan said. "What is going on?"

According to Hazan, the war in Yugoslavia has resulted from the differences that exist between ethnic and religious groups in the area, and the trend of these groups toward establishing a national identity.

"The breakdown of Yugoslavia is a result of the right to self-determination of nations," Hazan said. see ISSUES page 6

Olsen, an organizer of the event.

The organizers chose to give the money to Central Presbyterian because it was in such desperate need of funding. But the organizers also said an even more important goal of the day's work was reached.

"I heard a lot of people talking about going back and doing individual work," said Julie Allman, an organizer of the event. "I think the work opened spme of

their eyes to the problem."

Volunteers for the cleanup came from the three Auraria schools. The event was sponsored by the Community College of Denver student government and the MSCD Student Government. Students worked at the Denver Rescue Mission, the Samaritan House, The Food Bank of the ...Rockies, Senior Support Services and Central Presbyterian.

Volunteering needed, Brewer says Lisa Westenskow-Dayley Staff Writer

"College educated people should assume a level of responsibility toward those less fortunate, said retiring MSCD President Thomas Brewer at the Colorado Public Interest Research Group's ninth annual Hunger Cleanup.

"I feel very strongly that you have a role to play," Brewer said to the 50 participating students. "Part of that role is to help other people.

College is supposed to help you become a full participant in society."

In the past, Brewer has unsuccessfully campaigned for a community service requirement of 200 hours for students.

Brewer's plan was met with stiff resistance by students and faculty last year and has since become a dead issue.

Resistance may have been due to the nontraditional nature of the school, where

students are generally older, work fulltime jobs, have families and thus have very little time for 200 hours worth of community service.

"We force you to take math," Brewer said. "You wouldn't if you had the choice.

It's not in the purview of students to i determine what they need for graduation.

"One of the things you 're suppose to learn in college is compassion. There is nothing more worthwhile than helping other people," he added.

MSCD students helped by raising a 4 record breaking $1500 that will be distributed to Central Presbyterian Homeless Shelter and Assistance Program and various national and international hunger causes.

"We've never had this kind of success," said Jim Amspacher, MSCD's CoPIRG director, adding that this year's cleanup had almost three times the volunteers and raised twice as much money as last year.

POLICE BRIEFS No free lunch Two men who ate a $520 dinner April 7 at Morton's of Chicago in the Tivoli attempted to defraud the restaurant by writing a stolen check for the meal, according to an Auraria Public Safety report. One of the men, suspect Scott Barbarick of Boulder, wrote the check and gave it to Kimberly Godwin, an employee, police said. The restallrant manager, Anthony Anthony, called the telephone number on the check and talked to David Blair, father of Evan Blair, whose name was on the check, police said. Blair said someone路 was writing checks to restaurants out of his son's stolen checkbook, police said. Restaurant staff attempted to detain both men, but the second man fled before police arrived, according to the report. Barbarick was arrested and charged with forgery, fraud by check and felony theft, the report said.

Attempted theft MSCD student Daniel Calkins watched a man try to steal his bike and intercepted him April I 0, according to an Auraria Public Safety report. Calkins locked his bike to the rack between the South and Central Classroom buildings, went into a computer lab in the South

Classroom and chose a computer close to the window so he could watch his bike, the report said. Calkins then observed a man tampering with his bike and went out to confront him, police said. The man had assembled the bike and was moving it from the rack, police said. When confronted, the man told Calkins that he had found the bike unlocked, police said.

Calkins grabbed his bike and the man let go and fled south, police said.

Strange brew A keg of beer, tab and tub valued at $105 were taken from outside Emmanuel Gallery April 7, according to an APS police report. MSCD student David Seiler told police he moved the keg and set it outside to be picked up after an MSCD Art Club show at the gallery, police said.

The items were left unattended for about I 0 minutes when Seiler and a friend went to pickup a car, police said. When they got back the keg, tab and tub were gone and no where to be found, police said.

Seiler told police that when they left the area several people he did not know were still milling around, the report said. When they returned everyone had vanished, police said. Police have no lead and no suspects.

Students juggl~ responsibilities NONTRADITIONAL from page 1

business students, may experience instructors who are willing to work with theni on the issue of attendance. However, a nontr aditional student who , attends MSCD ' s daytime school to fill general requirements not offered at night may face strict attendance policies and different attitudes from the professors. " Professors don ' t appreciate older students who have very different opinions about things," said Leta S. Kattau, 37, a graduating senior this spring.

Each instructor and department has a different policy.

But Brown said students know from the start what the attendance requirements are for that class.

"It is clearly stated in the syllabus of

the class and basically defines the expectations of the course," Brown said.

Stephen Leonard, chairman of MSCD' s history department, said part of 路the problem when dealing with students of vastly different ages is determining what is a good reason to be absent and what is not.

But once an exception has been made for one student, it must be applied to every student in the class, said Larry Langton, a professor in the English department.

"Any deviation from the policy has to be extended to everyone or you can end up in court," he said. "But attendance policies are intended to accommodate nontraditional students."

However, Conner succinctly summed up the situation.

"Attendance is a uniform requirement and a uniform problem," he said.

METRO CONNECTIONS Dear Metro Connections: I have been smoking marijuana at least every week for about three years (since I've been in college).

Can you tell me a little 'about the lasting effects of heavy marijuana use? Someone just told me that it can affect my reproductive system, and I want to have children some day. Also, can it cause brain damage?

Signed, Carol Dear Carol, If you use marijuana, you owe it to yourself to find out as much as you can about it. The mind-altering effects of marijuana are caused by a chemical called delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol or THC, and the more THC in the joint, the more the effect. Also, different THC levels are found in different plants based on where they are cultivated, the time of harvesting, and other such details.

According to the booklet, Marijuana, available at the MSCD Counseling Center or through MSCD Substance Abuse Prevention Program (Metro Alternatives) the effects of marijuana are many: 1. Some people can have immediate anxiety reactions to marijuana that are similar to a panic attack.

Symptoms can include an excessive fear of losing control or going crazy, and they usually remit when the drug wears off.

2. Marijuana use can interfere with learning and the development of social skills.

3. THC can cross through the placenta in pregnant women and may have a toxic effect on the developing baby.

Forum explores torn countries ISSUES from page 3

Hazan said internationalism could have saved Yugoslavia but that it failed due to a "clash between internationalism and national chauvinism."

The last to speak at the panel was an MSCD senior in accounting, Abdi Osman.

Osman is a native of Kenya who has blood relatives in Somalia, another nation that is being tom apart by war.

According to Osman, Somalia became a nation in the early 1960s. Before this time, it had been colonized by Britain in

the North and by Italy in the South.

Somalia's troubles began at the start of its conception as a nation. ''The constitution laid the foundation for war," Osman said.

The devastation in Somalia is enormous. Osman said 150,000 people were killed in Somalia between l 9881990. In 1991, North Somalia declared war on the South, and the fighting became intensified.

Students stick their necks out Jenny Duke The Metropolitan

Eight students, who have spent many hours and have taken many risks for causes they believe in, were presented with Giraffe awards April 16 at a luncheon in their honor.

Students honored this year were Rosetta Duboise~ Gadson, Jeanine Cowan, Kersten Keith, Jeff Milich, Mary Caston, Shawn Cox, Rick Collier and Barb Ferrill.

The recipients this year were recognized for their work in a variety of areas ranging from providing freedom for all individuals to giving students a larger voice on Tivoli planning issues.

"It recognizes students in our midst who stick their neck out and take a risk for something they believe in," said Davidson Porter, associate director for student activities.

The Giraffe award is sponsored by MSCD student activities and PEAK Leadership Program.

"I think it is important that this campus recognize students who will go the extra mile," said Kersten Keith, MSCD student recipient of a giraffe award.

Keith speaks out for students on the Tivoli Planning Committee.

Porter admits it was difficult for the committee to decide which of the 25 nominees deserved this honor.

"There are a lot of great students, but this is not a nice students award.

What we looked at is do they take a risk and provide a lot of time to the cause," Porter said.

Each recipient received a framed certificafe signed by MSCD President Thomas Brewer and the president of the National Giraffe Program. Award winners also received hand carved giraffes from Kenya.

"We buy the giraffes from a seller in Denver and the profits go directly to the artisans in Africa," Porter said.

EDITORIAL

Time to take a new look at racism · FRANKLY SPEAKING SHAWN CHRISTOPHER Cox

Racism is an enigma for America that takes confrontation and knowledge to understand and overcome. !n a letter about racism by Ivory Harding this week (page 9) , there is much to agree with; however, her thinking restricts her from moving on fro!TI the past. .

She said, "Knowledge is the key, and displaying a zeal without knowledge is not constructive in dismantling the problem."

Her point is that white liberals need to understand the issues that affect minorities before speaking for them.

She is right that knowledge is the key. However, she ignores her own advice. Harding said she agrees with Carmen Williams that there is , "technically no such thing as a black racist."

If people were to embark upon a journey into the self, they will find all people are racist to some degree.This is not to say there is equality in racism.

One only has to look at the history of America to find that inequality.

Harding is also right that people of color have been under the subjugation of white male domination . By the way, so have all women .

However, as long as white people are going to be blamed for the sins of their fathers (and mothers), this thinking will only perpetuate more hatred between the races.

Furthermore, Harding is right that people who belong to the dominant culture are not always aware of the racial overtones of their actions and words.

That is why education is so important.

There is much to agree with Harding's letter.

But, as long as people such as she furthers the belief that only whites can be racist and criticize the

people who are trying to bring the races together, there is not much hope for unity.

It is the challenge of the younger generations to move beyond the sins of their fathers and the blamed placed on each other. America can be changed for the better and there can be a starting ground for that change.

If all people of this nation were to study history and then make an agreement that the sins of the past would not be repeated, nor the hostil ity displayed for those sins, just think of the miracles that could happen.

Younger generations can change all of this and agree to move beyond racism. However, there is not a lot of hope for the races coming together any time soon when one looks in the cafeteria and sees selfsegregation.

Only through interrelations can a true understanding of racial diversity take place - the component that Harding wants white citizens to embark on . However, it takes knowledge to understand the racist in all of us. The very thing Harding only applies to white people.

America teeters on the edge of Doom David Thibodeau News Editor Forget about your final projects and your final exams. The heat is up nationwide and it looks as if the only people who understood were burned in Waco. We're teetering on the edge of Doom, and when the bough breaks, none of this will matter.

I thought the Rodney King verdicts in Los · · · Angeles were it, but somehow, after deliberating for days, the jurors managed to figure out a way to not . ·.only keep the masses from rioting but fool the . uppers into thinking the system isn 't cracking.

Verdict: two guilty of violating King's civil rights, two not guilty. The King riots I was anticipating (1 ,000 · guns a day were being spld in South Central Los

Angeles) never happened. However, like my roommate says, "It takes small bubbles to make a boil."

The City of Angels wasn 't all safe though; 40 people were injured Saturday night after unruly rap fans rioted at Magic Mountain's Kiddie Kingdom. Go figure.

This isn't, however, confined only to Los Angeles It's nation-wide madness. Anarchy and chaos in America. Lets look at Auraria (keep in mind-small bubbles): Baby-faced Christians on steroids in the central plaza spewing forth all sorts of psychobabble about homos and sinners, and Paul Viola, son of IBM exec (his mother also owns five Fantastic Sam's, you haircut people), was recently elected president of Auraria's College Republicans-it's that

whole frightening wealthy GOP member thing. And then, of course, there's Amendment 2 and Amendment 1.

Here's an idea: In light of Amendment 1, lets create a position and give it to some guy and pay him $90,000 a year (Lord knows we wouldn't want to spend on anything as crazy as classrooms or anything) . We'll call it, like, Affirmatine Action or something. This way when lazy students receive a grade of 'C' because they never attend class, they can go to this guy and cry "racism " or "sexual harrassment" and say, "That's why I didn't get an 'A! '" Then th is guy can earn his 90 grand by harassing the professor until he has no choice but to quit, leaving say, three classes without a professor.

Not that these wouldn 't be serious issues-if they were substantial.

What does this have to do with anything? It's just part of the madness, that's all I'm saying. Small bubbles.

Slightly off campus we've got bubbles brewing in our state's capitol. Last week Sen. Bob Schaffer, A- Fort Collins , co nfiscated hu nd reds of AIDS pamphlets placed in the capitol as part of a Colorado Public Health Week display.

"Kids walk around, they take all the stuff, which t hey presume is acceptable si nce it's from the government," Schaffer said. (What? Acceptable since it's from the government?)

He also took a poster displaying condoms. We certainly wouldn't want our children to be educated when it comes to AIDS, pregnancy, abortion, etc.

"I'd rather have my children read this than be dead," said Sen. Jana Mendez, D-Boulder, referring to the pamphlets.

It just goes to show you that even the Democrats are clueless to the mayhem. Not that it matters, because although abortion is one way to control this welfare-ridden, child-rearing population, I think Eminent Doom tops it.

Does water boil quicker at a higher altitude?

Colorado. isn 't safe . Chaos looms on the horizon. On Saturday night in Colorado Springs some lunatic wielding an AK-47 and hand grenades burst into a bar yelling "What an adventure!" and then he proceeded to blow two people away and injure six others.

The bubbles in this melting pot are beginning to rise . Coast to coast. The World Trade Center bombing was a nice attempt, but a little premature.

How about Ohio? Inmates in the state's maximum DOOM continued on page 9

'No such thing as a black racist' is correct, says student of color

:.

..

-

As a student of color, I would like to take this time to respond to Dale Sawin, an MSCD student who wrote a reaction to Dr. Carmen Williams' statement on what her definition of a racist is. First, Williams is absolutely correct in stating that there is "technically no such thing as a black racist. " If you research and pay attention to the historical roots of racism, you would clearly see that this "disease," as you have labeled it, was created and perpetuated by white male patriarchs in their attempts to keep all people of color under the subjugation of white male domination.

The anger and hostility displayed by people of color, primarily blacks, is.simply a reaction to the inherent oppressive attitudes displayed by white · people who have bought into the conscious ideology of white supremacy.

Second, in response. to your definition of what a racist is, I personally would have to disagree. You state that "racism is not limited to whites. It is a disease that has spread to people of every culture .. and skin color." This is a distortion of reality. Racism is not a disease. It is a state of mind. What is experienced among all people is a "dis-ease" because all people are affected by the psychological implications of racism and it's influence. Please do .not confuse the two. I will use a quote from

sociologist Bell Hooks to address both your denial and concern. She states: "It is a very small but highly visible liberal movement away from the perpetuation of overtly racist discrimination, exploitation and oppression of black people which often masks how all-pervasive white supremacy is in this society, both as ideology and as behavior. When liberal whites fail to understand beliefs even though they may not embrace racism as prejudice or domination (especially domination that involves control), they cannot recognize the ways their actions support and affirm the very structure of racist domination and oppression that they profess to wish to see eradicated."

I hope that as a concerned white citizen, you will become more astute in learning about racial diversity and what really affects people of color in an inherently racist society. The affects of white patriarchal domination does influence all people with its corrosive "isms," but what are we doing as a society to understand and change the end result of this influence? Knowledge is the key, and displaying a zeal without knowledge is not constructive in dismantling the problem .

Ivory Harding MSCD student

If allegations of poor conduct false, why did teacher resign?

In re.sponse to Shon R. Davis' letter (The Metropolitan, March 19), the letter indicates that . Darold Kelley resigned from the faculty. If teaching was his dream and the allegations against him are false, then why resign? If every teacher at MSCD were to resign when a student accused or complained of unfair treatment, there would only be ·a handful of teachers left. It is clear that a student thought she was right, and for that, one should not be publicly humiliated. Darold Kelley may have been · a great teacher to some; however, it appears that not

all students felt this way. After reading this letter, I thought it only to be fair to salute Linda Lockett for standing up for what she believes. Shon, the unequal treatment or belief that one ethnic group is inferior to another is wrong. Any student that stands up against these racist ideologies needs support and .action. I applaud the MSCD administration for listening to the students.

DOOM from page 9 security prison hanged a guard because they're not allowed to strut their religious garb. Hello. This is a prison folks. You're being punished because you're a danger to society just like all these damn pot smokers that we have to keep building prisons to detain.

If that prison's lunacy doesn't strike you as a harbinger of a steady boil, buckle-up: Inmates in Vancouver, Washington's county jail are so riled that they're asking a Supreme Court Judge to ban the use of the all-in-one-meal "nutra-loaf." The "unconstitutional baked punishment block" is a mixture of vegetables, meat, oatmeal and cracker baked in 12 1/2-pound logs and served to unruly prisoners as "a disciplinary tool.• The prisoners say they suffer mental and physical stress from eating

the loaf. Small bubbles.

All I know is that on May 17 I'm taking my piece off the chess board-moving to Alaska, NonContinental United States. If it all comes down before that, I'm hooking up with cowboy copy editor Joe Chopyak because he's got guns.

I can see it now: hanging out in the Branch Chopyak Compound with Joe's guns and his sheep.

They say the meek shall inherit the earth. Hell, I've got chunks of the meek in my stool. You folks too can be saved. You have to let Joe into your heart and confess him as your personal saviour.

Students sign up for free HIV testing in the North Classroom.

Student Health Center offers free HIV testing Student response is large as service continues through May 7 ytllliam Leslie Johnson

The Metropolitan The Student Health Center is offering free IDV testing in coordination with its "Bridge The Gap- Knowledge and Behavior Go Hand In Hand" campaign to educate Auraria students about HIV/AIDS. The free testing will be for MSCD and CCD students through May 7.

On April 12, 40 students signed up to receive HIV testing, said Stephen Monaco, director of the health center. In the past year 195 students have had the HIV test in the health center.

"We could potentially do the number (of students) we !d in a year, in four weeks," Monaco said.

With the initial success of "Bridge The Gap," Monaco said the health center is scrambling to find people to perform the IDV testing. He added that everyone will be tested and the health center will wofry about finding people to do the tests.

- ., The focus of the campaign is to educate students about the risks of unsafe sexual practices and get a corresponding correlation of students actually practicing safer sex, Monaco said.

Also during "Bridge The Gap," tests gauging students' knowledge about IDV/AIDS are given. Those who score l;;!gher路 than 90 percent on the test receive a prize. Prizes niclude condom key chains and gifts donated by the Auraria Book Center, Monaco said.

The testing for mv was possible through contributions from the MSCD student affairs board and the CCD student government. ~.

With the rise of reported HIV cases in the United States among minorities, teenagers and women, everyone should be tested, Monaco said. "Bridge The Gap" will not only inform students about the threat of IDV/AIDS, but also alleviate the uncertainty, he said.

"Its better to know so you can respond most appropriately, rather than being uncertain and not taking precautions M-protect others or prolong your life," Monaco said.

The testing that the health center provides is time consuming but thorough for the patient. Before blood is drawn, .a half hour counseling session is given. The staff in the health center has been路 trained by the state, Monaco said.

After the blood is drawn, a counseling session is set up for

two weeks later.

At the start of the post-test, the counselor for the health center determines if the patient wants to know the results of the test. Some people do not want to know, Monaco said.

Then the results are given. "(The health center educators) go through a review of not only the educational component of the first session, but try to make a distin1<tion between their knowledge level and behavior," Monaco said. .

If . patients being tested should receive a positive result, they meet with a health center educator. Then the patient meets with a physician for medical concerns and finally he or she meets with a counselor from the MSCD counseling

center.

"The goal of these initial contacts is not to. overwhelm the patients with excessive information at this difficult time, but rather to establish contacts of support for the future," Monaco said.

One of the long-term goals of " Bridge The Gap" is to establish a longrange plan to expand the health center's AIDS education component, said Billi Mavromatis, the health education and "Bridge The Gap" co9rdinator at the health center. This objective will be reached by reemphasizing the need for behavioral change to combat the AIDS crisis, she said.

"As college health professionals, we feel a great responsibility to our students and the community to be a leader in fighting the AIDS epidemic," Mavromatis said.

There is a silent killer in the world; it can attack anybody, even college students. AIDS is a killer with a rap sheet as long as an arm, and startling destructive statistics to go along with its history.

As of July 1992, the World Health Organization estimated that 2.5 million people have AIDS and 500,000 of these are children. Worldwide, 13 million people are HIV infected, the virus that is said to cause AIDS. Forty percent of the infected people are women and 13 percent are children, according to a WHO study.

In the next decade, WHO estimates the number of people infected with HIV to surge from 13 million to 40 million people. The Harvard AIDS Institute reported the estimate to be conservative and has speculated that 100 million people world wide will have the HIV virus.

Seventy-one percent of all people infected with HIV were exposed to the virus from heterosexual contact, according to WHO, in a January 1992 study. In the next decade, women will make up the majority of new infection rates.

In the United States, 230, l 79 people have been diagnosed with AIDS, the American Foundation for AIDS Research (AMFAR) said. If the Center for Disease Control revises the criteria for diagnosing AIDS, this figure could double.

Among teenagers and young adults (ages 13 to 24) in the United States, diagnosed cases of AIDS have increased by 62 percent in the last two years, according to a congressional study by the Select Committee On Children, Youth and Families. Only 300 schools, according to a CDC, study have comprehensive health programs for children from kindergarten to 12th grade. " This shocking statistic demonstrates that we must increase our efforts in education and prevention. The lives of our children and future generations depend on it." said Dr. Mathilde Krim, co-founder of AMFAR. In the United States someone diagnosed with AIDS and receiving AZT (a drug that helps slow the HIV virus) will live for about 770 days. Without receiving AZT, the patient lives for about 140 days after diagnosis, according to the foundation.

AIDS has also taken the lives of 152,153 men, women and children in the United 路states as of June 1992, according to the foundation ' s numbers.

AIDS has killed more American people than the wars in Korea, Vietnam, Granada, Panama and the Persian Gulf combined. AIDS is one of the largest killers of white men, ages 25-44, closely behind heart disease, cancer and accidents, the AIDS foundation said in its report.

Between 1 and 1.5 million people are infected with HIV, the foundation said, and expects another 100,000 people will be diagnosed in the next year.

Book ce·nter features campus author's week William Leslie Johnson The Metropolitan With heavy class loads, grading tests and perhaps even a life outside of Auraria, professors still find the time for academic writing.

Celebrating Campus Author's Week, Auraria Book Center held a reception April 14 in honor of Auraria's writers.

With displays of nearly every book by campus writers on hand and an extensive buffet, authors gathered to inspect each other's work and discuss their own.

"I think its impressive how productive our authors on campus are," MSCD professor Laura McCall said. McCall is the co-author of "American Families: A Research Guide and Historical Handbook."

To date there are 352 books written by 156 campus authors, Lisa Hartman of ABC said. This year was the seventh annual campus author's week.

"It's very hard to be seriously academic and teach three to four classes," McCall said.

Some areas, such as history, are glutted markets, making it hard for authors to get manuscripts published, McCall said.

It depends on the level of the writing and the publisher, MSCD philosophy professor Timothy Gould added.

Students talk about abortion decision Women who confronted difficult decision talk about afterthoughts Lisa Westenskow-Dayley Staff Writer

. .. . .

A woman's right to an abortion is a personal choice but should be used only as a last resort, concluded six MSCD students who took part in The Metropolitan's survey following a recent article on the adoption/abortion controversy.

All respondents were in their late teens or early 20s when they faced the decision of either having an abortion or giving their babies up for adoption. Of the six, five bad abortions while one bad only contemplated it. Yet no matter bow each person felt about her particular situation, each bas remained pro-choice while insisting that they are not pro-abortion.

"I bad one of the first legal abortions in Denver 22 years ago when I was 17," said D.J., the mother of two boys. "It's affecting me more now than then. Then it was the right decision. Yet I look at my two wonderful sons and think about the 22-year-old I would have had now."

Although pro-choice, D.J. said abortion should not be used as a form of birth control.

"I'm ambivalent about it, but you should have the right," D.J. said.

"Circumstances should be analyzed. A woman needs to go into some deep

introspective before she does something like this."

Carol, a 24-year-old MSCD student who has had two abortions said abortion is a health issue rather than a moral one.

"I don't have any remorse about the abortion," Carol said. "I regret getting pregnant, and if I could go back, I wouldn't have gotten pregnant. But it happened and I'm not going to punish myself for the rest of my life. I'm so careful now that I'm almost paranoid."

Both women experienced dreams following their abortions, although in D.J.'s case, hers did not occur until two years ~go.

"He just kind of sauntered by in my dream," DJ. said. "He was tall and blond and resembled the father."

Carol's dreams were different.

"These two kids would come to my apartment dressed in rags and would ask · me if it was time yet," Carol said. "It was hard emotionally. I think it's a very sad thing but I only have to apologize to myself."

Linda, 23, who got pregnant at 19 by her boyfriend whom she eventually married, said her decision to abort the pregnancy came down to money.

"I still think about it sometimes," Linda said. "It was a matter of economics.

We had been planning on getting married but things were really complicated. We were too young."

The couple opted for the abortion.

"It's kind of weird to think that we could have had a 4-year-old child at this point," Linda added. " I think abortion should only be used as a last resort and

shouldn't be used as birth control. I'm prochoice but am anti-abortion."

The threat of physical violence influenced Ann, 33, to have an abortion 10 years ago.

"I've just stopped mourning my abortion," Ann said. "He (the exboyfriend) threatened to hound me for the

Women of Color video replayed Lisa Westenskow-Dayley Staff Writer

The higher education community frequently ignores the talents and contributions of women of color for promotions, hiring and the selection processes for college presidents, panelists said during the video replay of "Women of Color in Higher Education: Too Invisible, Too Silent, For Too Long," held in the Student Union April 8.

"We need to create an environment of diversity and embrace it," said L. Jay Oliva, president of New York University, the only white and only male on the panel.

"We need to embrace the diversity and look at people as people."

"That expresses an idea not in practice," disagreed Evelyn Hu-DeHart, professor of history and the director of the Center of Studies of Ethnicity and Race in

America at the University of Colorado at Boulder. "It's been my experience that women of color have a particularly extra difficult time meeting standards. It's often unspoken, intangible and not written down." Hu-DeHart also complained that women of color are "not heard in the old boys cultural environment."

Originally broadcast live via satellite March 31, the panelists also included Vera K. Farris, president Stockton State College; Janine Pease-Windy Boy, president of Little Big Horn College; GlQria R . Scott, president of Bennett College; and Juliet Garcia, president of the University of Texas in Brownsville.

During the first broadcast, phone calls from colleges and universities, inclu~ing MSCD, were accepted.

All panelists stressed mentorship and working together with their white sisters to increase the number of minority women on college faculties.

rest of my life. I felt like I couldn't trust him."

Despite how she feels about her abortion, Ang )s pro-choice, but said she wonders about the possible loss of a great life.

"What if I aborted the next Gandhi or Einstein?" she questioned.

Susan, 33, said her mother talked her out of having an abortion ..

"I was horrified and in total disbelief," said Susan, who was 18-years-old at the time. After making the appointment for the abortion, she said, her mother talked her out of it.

"She said that (abortion) was a final answer to a temporary problem and that I'd see it differently in 10 years. I look back now and ask myself, 'why was it "' such a huge thing?' Sure it caused a few problems, but now I say 'Mom, you were . right, and I've managed.""

Susan eventually gave birth to twin boys and married the father.

Although still very much pro-choice, Susan advises anyone with an unplanned pregnancy not to make a decision in the heat of the moment.

"I would seek counseling and find out what the options are and speak to people who have made all three choices," she said. "Make it a fair decision."

~~~~~~~~FEATURES~~~~~~~

From the Marlboro Man to John.Wayne: the changing aspects of masculinity Susan K. Goddard The Metropolitan

The two primary tasks asked of a man, to be the provider and the protector, have been eroded, said Mark ·Gerzon, 44, in his multimedia presentation, "Who Are Our Heroes?" at Tivoli Studeqt Union's Tune Town, April 7.

The presentation is also the title of Gerzon's latest book, which deals with the changing face of American manhood.

Pictures of the Marlboro Man and other slides of Madison Avenue's images of masculinity flashed before an audience of about 30 students and faculty. Gerzon explained the trials and tribulations of being a man in the 1990s.

"Men were once the protectors and the providers," Gerzon said. "We raised sons to fight in the next war. Heroes were all about war and violence."

Instead of war we now have the NBA finals and Super Bowl season, he said.

Also, the breadwinner cornerstone has eroded and been laid to rest as women work side by side with men.

"We are left in a world where there is no way to be a man," he said. "We have to be conscious of the images of masculinity and femininity that shape us."

One image, a comic strip depicting a middle-aged man asking the question, "What in hell is a vaginal orgasm?" seemed to sum up the communication gap between men and women.

Gerzon criticized many of the ads that in truth do not make a lot of sense to the conscious mind.

A "Joe Camel" cigarette ad showed a man sitting on a long, thin tree trunk high above what appeared to be a river. He is smoking.

"What is this supposed to portray?"

Gerzon afiked. "Rugged individualism?

Toughness? That's ridiculous, he's smoking in oxygen-scarce alpine air."

"Consciously it's a loser," he said.

"Why does it sell? Because we are not con.scious of our images."

An old Martini advertisement had the caption, "The Italian you'll never forget," below a photograph of a beautiful girl drinking Martini Rossi.

"Are they talking about the drink or the woman?" Gerzon said. "If you can imply sexuality, you can sell the product."

Gerzon and Tom Daly, co-founder of the Denver and Boulder Men's Councils, wants to get men to raise their consciousness.

"We don't want our kids to go

through the same stereotypes that we did," Daly said, who followed Gerzon 's presentation.

"The council tries to get men together to deal with any issues important in their lives," Daly said. "To help change each other in healthy ways."

The Denver council was formed in 1987 and concentrates on the question posed by Daly in his commentary.

'We don't want our kids to go through the same stereotypes that we did.'

-Tom Daly Co-founder of the Denver and Boulder Men's Councils "If we can't be breadwinners and warriors, who are we and where are we going?" he said.

"There are no mutually agreed upon rites of passage in our culture," he said.

"How do you be a healthy man in society and pass that on to a younger man?"

Gerzon said he had been to men-only group training sessions to concentrate on raising his consciousness.

"My wife said, 'How did you learn

from all these men what I've been trying to teach you all these years,"' Gerzon said.

But Richard Jackson, professor of criminal justice at MSCD, said white_men are going about it all .wrong and that black men don't suffer the same kind of identity crisis.

"African men are poor candidates for therapy because they don't really internalize," he said. "I don't see black men having the same manhood problems that white men have."

Besides, he said, they are stealing from African and Indian culture by using Mytho-Poetic techniques that are still grounded in the Earth.

"The first thing that will have to happen is for them to help rather than steal from the American Indian," Jackson said.

Gerzon 's first book, "The Whole World is Watching," looked at why the 1960s generation was different to American society. His second, "Coming Into Our Own," discussed the challenge of aging.

Gerzon graduated from Harvard University and trained in clinical psychology and family therapy. He works as a writer and is a social activist for ''The Common Enterprise," which is a project on citizen empowerment.

Hull takes leave to be with family Ta/kin' Trash -by Edward C. Morrow With all the rumors that have surrounded men's coach Bob Hull taking a Division I coaching position, it is not surprising that he will not be back next year as coach. The surprise is the real reason why he won't return.

The rumor mill, that is the local newspaper columnists, has Hull becoming a head coach at Utah State, University of Wyo~ing and even the University of Colorado. The only thing they got correct is the fact that Hull will not return as MSCD head coach next season.

The surprise is Hull has chosen to take a one year sabbatical to be with his wife, who is expecting their first child in May. Cindy Klose is a news anchor for Channel 12 in Wichita Kan.; her job forces the two of them to be apart during most of Hull's eight year reign as MSCD head coach.

"Cindy and I have been living away from each other for so long, and with the baby coming, it' s just the best way to handle it," Hull said.

The growing sentiment in this country has been shifting from the workplace to the home. That road to morality was paved last summer by Washington Redskins coach Joe Gibbs, as he gave up his coaching position, so he could spend more time with his family.

With Hull stepping down, Joe Strain will take over the head coaching duties effective May 1 ,1993

to the following May. Strain, who has spent seven years as Hull's assistant coach, said "I knew it was a tough decision, but it's something he

needed to do."

Hull has turned the program from mediocrity to a state powerhouse. In Hull's second season, 1986, he coached the team to the school's first winning record at 16-12. After two more winning years that culminated in a impressive 20-8 record, Hull put together a dream season.

Just five years after taking the head coaching helm in 1985, Hull produced what is called the " 1989 dream season." . During that season, the Roadrunners spent most of the year atop the Division II rankings as the number one team in the country. The Roadrunners J earned their first trip to the NCAA Division II tournament with a gaudy 28-4 record. Their season ended with a second round 85-80 loss to North Dakota.

During Hull's eight year reign, he has amassed a 147-81 record, 64.5 winning percentage, and added two trips to the NCAA Division II Tournament, in 1989 and 1990. Hull will be missed, even for only one year. "(The administration) feels it owes it to Hull for creating the program that he has built," said MSCD Athletic Director Bill Helman.

With the realization that Hull's family means more to him than winning basketball games, you Dominic Chavez/The Metropolitan don' t have to figure out why he is taking a year off, MSCD Men's Head Basketball Coach Bob Hull announces but to just applaud it. his leave of absence at an April 21 conference.

Mistakes keep baseball team • guessing

Skies clear .for rain-drenched tennis team Angie Reese Sports Reporter

Angie Reese Sports Reporter

As the regular season is coming to a close, the MSCD men's baseball team still can't figure out a way to get rid of its mistakes .

"Most of the games we've lo.st were over something stupid," said pitcher Steve Knight.

"Little mistakes can change a whole game Dominic Chavez/The Metropolitan around."

The Roadrunners now have an overall record Joe Lucero steals on Regis shortstop Ryan Goltz of 12-22-1 with only seven games left before the won't, or the pitching will be there and the bitting Mile High Baseball League begins conference play. won't," Knight said. "It's never together."

They are starting to play a lot better, but Knight said Knight said the 'Runners still played well in the two most of the players are still really frustrated. games they lost last week , but they walked away " We started off with a bang and declined from defeated because of little mistakes. He said the team can there," Knight said. "The teams we're playing we should start winning if they get rid of the running and throwing be beating." errors.

In their four games last week, the 'Runners split " We just need to work real hard the next few with Regis University, losing the first game 4-3 and then weeks," he said. "We need to come together as a team coming back to win the second 5-2. and not be individuals."

They also split their double-header with the Knight said the mistakes are due to the team being University of Nebraska-Kearney winning the first game so young and inexperienced.

6-5 and losing the second 2-1.

"It's hard playing with a bunch of guys you don't "One day the hitting will be there and the pitching know," Knight said."The chemistry is not there yet."

It may be overpowering its competition, but the MSCD men's tennis team just can't manage to beat Mother Nature .

"It's been a terrible season for rain," said Head Coach John Arntz. "Almost a third of our matches have been canceled."

"We're getting frustrated because we actually show up and it starts raining," he said.

The Roadrunners now have an overall record of 9-4 going into the last two weeks of the regular season. " We're doing pretty well," Arntz said. "We've been consistent from top to bottom. We just haven't got to play a lot of matches we've been looking forward to," he said.

But rain did not play a part of their third place finish two weeks ago in the MSCD tournament.

New Mexico Military Institute, which is ranked nationally in the division, walked away as the tournament champions. Arntz said it was expected considering the lnstitute's number one player, Isaac Donkar, is individually ranked in the nation and is headed to play in the Davis Cup for his homeland in Ghana, Africa.

The Colorado School of Mines came from behind on the final day to beat MSCD for second place by one point.

The 'Runners still have three matches left in the regular season before conference play begins. They play Regis University on April 22, Denver University on April 23 and the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs on April 24.

Arntz said the University of Southern Colorado is the number one team in the Colorado Athletic Conference but the 'Runners and DU are in a close race for second.

"I just need to try to get them pumped up for the last couple of matches," Arntz said.

IN THE ARM\; YOU'LL TAKE CHARGE IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE. There's an added dimension to being a nurse in the Army. You'll have increased health care responsibilities. And you'll enjoy the respect and prestige that come naturally to people who serve as officers in the Army Nurse Corps.

You'll be a respected member of an exceptional health care team. Your opinion and counsel will be actively sought and listened to. And you'll have the opporrunity to practice nurs路 ing in a variety of environments, from high-tech military hospitals to MASH units, from flight lines to field hospitals, in the United States or overseas.

Here are some of the reasons to consider becoming an Army Nurse: g(xxi pay and benefits, opportunities for continuing education in your chosen specialty, seniority that 1mwes with ycii.J when you do, and joh experience you can't put a price tag on.
