Kaplan First FeIDale President in MSCD History riiMMiiitp~ The Metropo.!!!::;_

The Board of Trustees of the State Colleges of Colorado on Monday selected Dr. Sheila Kaplan as the eighth president of Metropolitan State College of Denver. Kaplan, who succeeds Dr. Thomas Brewer, is the first woman to be named to the pos t in MSCD's 28-year history. Kaplan , 48, will assume the presidency in early September. " I 'm really excited about coming to Metro," Kaplan said of her selection, "the campus community seems to have a good sense of itself, and I was very impressed by the faculty, staff and students." Sheila Kaplan Kaplan comes to MSCD after having served as chancellor of the University of Wisconsin-Parkside, an urban campus with just over 5,000 students. Before that, Kaplan served as director of the adult baccalaureate programs at the City University of New York. While at Wisconsin-Parkside, Kaplan was credited with doubling the number of African-American and Hispanic students graduating from the institution. She also helped model and support a program designed to assist ethnic minority students from middle school through high school and on into college. Kaplan said she sees her position as a unifying one and that her plans for MSCD won't sway too far from those already put into place by the Brewer administration. "My job will be to work with the campus and surrounding communities," Kaplan _said, "and we will continue to place emphasis on those areas that are important such as the quality of undergraduate teach-

Students Protest Women's Studies A group of about 35 students chanting "Our people united, will never be divided," swarmed into former MSCD President Thomas Brewer's office May 5, protesting that the Women's Studies department is racist and anti-male. The protest was organized by Lisa Calderon, a recent graduate who filed a complaint in October 1992 against one of the professors in the Women's Studies department. The complaint was later dismissed by the MSCD Affirmative Action Advisory Council "The Women's Studies have perpetuated racism through their curriculum by denying women of

color our rights as far as how we contributed to our struggle as women and when we speak out we get penalized," Calderon said. "And we ' re saying that we want Women's Studies to listen to __ us, to be rnclusive of us, and to stop alienating us." The organizations Sisters In Support of Change Organization, Black Men on Campus, Black Student Alliance, Metropolitan American Indian Students for Equality, and Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan attended the protest. Brewer was not in bis office at the time of the protest. The group gave Brewer a list of demands which asked for the creation of a new student grievance procedure and the hiring of more

culturally diverse faculty. In a letter dated May 14, Brewer responded to the students' demands . He declined their demand to separate the Affirmative Action Director/Assistant to the President position into two positions. The group said that as one position it presents a conflict of interest in investigating student grievances. Brewer also declined their demand to stop. the presidential search and reevaluate the search process. He said remaining demands already have programs established to accommodate the needs of the students according. In Brewer's response letter to the group's demands he wrote:

Diversity Rally Draws Criticism

路rSllllJLll.'ldllL-i

,.......,...,

Twenty-eight part-time professors were awarded for meritorious service on May 15 by the MSCD Alumni Association. At a reception at the Hotel Denver, the Board of Alumni gave certificates of appreciation to 17 professors from the School of Letters, Arts and Sciences, nine from the School of Business, and two professors from the School of Professional Studies. " It's a great honor," said Preston Leavitt, an instructor for the Management department who received an award. "You always try to touch the students individually, to make a difference, to help them learn on their own. This perhaps is an indication that you've done just that." Larry McGill, a part-time instructor for Human Performance, Sport and Leisure Studies, helped push for awards for part-time faculty , whom he said are often regarded as "a second-class kind of citizen." Part-time professors often do more than their contracts call for, such as writing, attending conferences and sponsoring campus clubs but aren't given the same recognition, he said. "Everything is upside down with the part-time teachers. It's a troubling situation and it's easily remedied," McGill said, adding that he believes upper management should simply listen to the ideas of its part-time professors. The board gave the 1993 Distinguished Alumnus award to Steve Ruddick, a criminal appellate attorney for Aurora who was recently elected to the Colorado Senate to represent District 29. Ruddick graduated from MSCD in 1977, majoring in history and political science.

Denise Rodriguez , chairwoman of the Metropolitan R \ \ American ~dian Stud_ents for ~uality, said she wanted to close i.; ,J J the rally with a Nauve American peace prayer, but former 路 c../ MSCD Student Government President Tom Mestnik, who ' helped arranged the rally, denied her request. "The prayer is a Native American custom and is not directed toward a certain god or goddess," Rodriguez said. "Tom said ' No, no praying,' and gave me a look that totally invalidated me." Mestnik said he did not let Rodriguez speak because of previous disagreements between the two. " I may be just a white liberal, but I know when to resist," Mestnik said, referring to the Columbus Day protest last year. Mestnik also denied speaking privileges to Richard Jackson, an MSCD criminal justice professor, Jackson said. "I was told by Mestnik that unless I renounce my affiliation with the College Republicans, I couldn't speak. This is insane. This is why we have racism." Jackson, who is a faculty sponsor of the MSCD chapter, said his political affiliation has nothing to do with the rally 's theme of anti-racism. He said he intended to speak about the 路importance of teachers encouraging discussions about racism in the classrooms. "Mestnik doesn 't understand what racism is when he tells the only black faculty member willing to speak up not to speak!" Jackson said. "How will we ever reach diversity if we divide us into groups like that?"

MSCD Students Rally, Speak for Support in Bosnia

Calling for the lifting of the arms embargo and a stop to genocide and rape in Bosnia, MSCD students gathered with other groups at the State Capitol Saturday, May 14 as part of a nationwide demonstration on Bosnia awareness. "This event is to let the American public know that what is going on in Bosnia is unjust. We want to lift th e embargo and let the Muslims defend themselves," said Nazir Zulali, member of MSCD's Muslim Student Association. Five representatives from different religious and ethnic groups spoke to the crowd of about 100 people regarding the events 路in Bosnia and what the United Nations and the United States should do about the conflict there.

"On balance, it is the better choice. To sit and do nothing is morally unacceptable- it is wrong." Zucker called for the European community to become involved and for the Americans to lead the way. "We will not allow these types of infractions, these shameful ethnic cleansings to continue," he said. Zulali said the demonstration was for all people who are concerned about the events in Bosnia. "It is not just for the Muslims, it's for the humanity," Zulali said. "We are all humans and we are connected to each other, and every human with any conscience must defend the Bosnian Muslims."

"During the past five years, Metro has strengthened its commitment to cultural diversity. The results ar.! present in three major areas." Those areas include an increase of "ethnic minority students," an increase of minority faculty and administrators, and multicultural studies. "The MSCD Faculty Senate recently approved a three-credit-hour multicultural studies requirement for graduation," Brewer wrote. Brewer also said in his letter that MSCD holds workshops on gender and racial discrimination and harassment to prevent problems from developing. "The response to the demands showed that some of the students didn't know

what was being done about cultural diversity," said Tara Tull, coordinator of the Women's Studies department. As to the accusation of the department's bias against men, Tull said she had been approached by .several men that have participated in the classes who believe the accusations to be untrue. "I don't think it has merit," said Tull. Linda Lockett, an MSCD student who attended the protest, said she believes the grievance policy benefits only the faculty. "I feel that every student; black, white, red or yellow, is entitled to an unbiased, fair grievance procedure Lockett said,"I see a lot of things wrong with the system." Lockett would like to set up an advocacy for students that would involve students and faculty members to amend the student grievance process.

ing and the importance of diversity." Kaplan was chosen among three other finalists for the presidency. All four finalists visited the campus and met with various faculty, staff and student groups. The other finalists included 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; and Charlie Nelms, chancellor of Indiana University East. Dr. Brewer was out of town and could not be reached for comment on Kaplan's selection. Campus reaction to the selection has been mixed. Student leaders at MSCD are supportive, but have developed a waitand-see attitude. Student Government President Barb Ferrill said she's "pretty happy" about Kaplan' s selection and hopes to see more cooperation between students and the new administration. "I like the fact that she comes from a campus very much like Metro," Ferrill said, "and I wish she was starting earlier. She seemed very supportive of students and we hope that students will have access to and be a part of the executive decisionmaking process." Richard Delgado, MSCD sophomore

and president of La Raza Coalition--a student Hispanic group on campus--was not as pleased with the Trustees' decision. "It's disappointing that the Trustees keep disregarding Hispanics for these [types] of positions," Delgado said. "It's nothing personally against Sheila Kaplan, but it's just disappointing." Faculty reaction was mixed as well. Angelina De La Torre, co-chairwoman of the Institutional Advisory Committee to the Board of Trustees and · criminal justice and criminology professor, expressed guarded optimism. "I find that she's strong and going to bring changes to the campus," De La Torre said, "but my constituency [AfricanAmericans and Hispanics] was really looking forward to having an ethnic president that would be interested in minority issues and concerns. Still, she seems interested in diversity, so it will be interesting to see what happens." Dr. Percy Morehouse, Jr., discounted any thoughts that Kaplan wouldn't be interested in minority issues. Morehouse said that Kaplan was adamant in her support of .existing MSCD programs in minority retention of faculty, staff and students on her visits. " She ' ll make a good president," Morehouse said, "and I look forward to working with her."

Some MSCD students receive "A's" in courses without ever going to class, talking to the professor in person or even stepping foot on campus-and they do it legitimately. Using a computer and a modem, MSCD students can enroll in "cyberspace," an electronic class !1Vailable through Metroline, an on-line information service created by Dr. Walt Copley of the Criminal Justice and Criminology Department. "You can't sit back there and not do anything, even though you're invisible," Copley said. "What you can do is sit in your room at three in the morning and do it. There's time to respond and to think." The electronic medium facilitates student participation. Copley estimated that in the average class, only four or five students ever say very much. At a keyboard in the privacy of their homes, Copley said, students do not have to worry about how they look or sound, as they might in a physical classroom. "It doesn't matter how old you are, how good looking you are or how you're dressed," Copley said. "What we're looking for here is the intellectual clarity and force of your ideas."

Because the "shyness factor" is eliminated, students are graded more heavily for the quality and quantity of their participation. Students learn by presenting ideas and having them challenged, Copley said. Introduction to Criminal Justice will be offered on-line this Fall. The course will be listed as "arranged" with instructions on how to register for the class, Copley said. Copley said he calls students after they register and gives them the eightcharacter password they will need to enter the cyberspace classroom. Students purchase a software program which acts as a study guide for the course. Although students can access Metroline with either IBM or Apple computers, the study guide software is only available in IBM format. Students with Apple computers can get by without the study guide, Copley said, but they would be missing out on an important dimension of the course. "You're really at sea without it," he said. The study guide has about 700 "directed multiple-choice" questions , which explain why each answer a student gives is either right or wrong. Students must type out the full answer because it is more reinforcing, Copley said. Those who answer correctly are awarded a short, high-spirited bugle

melody, while those who do not receive a dull, flat beep and are prompted to "Try Again!" Although students study and attend class through "cyberspace," they are required to come to campus for exams, Copley said. Every Monday, students receive an "Issue of the Week," a scenario or question related to the chapters in the textbook. Students must respond electronically to the assigned issue by the following Friday. Class members can challenge, support, or criticize each other's ideas, Copley said, creating a "colloquium in cyberspace." " A lot of social stuff goes on too," Copley said, pointing at the screen as he scrolled through his students' messages. "Tim's talking to Niki about his paper." Copley said he wants to add Aviation Security (CJC 405) to "cyberspace" by this fall and Security Management (CJC 385) by Spring 1994. To Metroline, Copley is developing an on-line class catalog that would bring up class information when a call number is entered, schedules of final exams and class changes, professional journals and registries for carpooling and student housing. For more information, call Dr. Walt Copley at 556-3496.

Mestnik Says No to Prayer at Diversity Rally To Whom It May Concern: On Friday, April 30, 1993, during the Diversity Rally that was held in front of the Student Union, I was denied an opportunity to speak. I approached Tom Mestn ik in regards to requesting time for a prayer to close the rally, with all good intentions. At that time, Tom shook his head and said NO, NO PRAYING, and gave me this look of disapproval. This is exactly what this rally was against. All I wanted to do was to pray, and yet Tom denied me this right. This is another form of oppression and racism against me as a Native American person. Tom was picking who could talk and who couldn't. (Another oppressive move made by Tom.) Tom had the power and the control of the whole rally on his bias terms. I, as a Native American student and woman of color, felt disheartened at not being allowed to speak to the crowd and say a prayer to bring the close of the rally to a positive end. Tom claims to be rallying for Native Americans, yet he is unaware of our

Native American beliefs and values. I felt he had no right to do this to me. As chairperson of MAISE he did not allow me to air my feelings in regard to the rally. This is his way of oppressing me and my people continuously. As traditions continue, Tom still speaks with fork tongue . Tom is unaware that Native Americans have a spiritual base in their daily life. And yet, he did not allow me to pray with my fellow brothers and sisters. All I wanted to do was bring some positive energy into the atmosphere and create a healing circle and bring a unity for all people. I am asking for a public apology and letter in regards to this matter. I think Tom needs to take a good look at himself and see where his base is. It surely isn 't with a positive regard to Native Americans or their values and beliefs of a culture and our way of life.

~e Auraria campus parking garage will be a hotel to about 3,500 people coming from all over the world for World Youth Day 1993 and Pope John Paul II's visit. The garage will be available to World Youth Day participants Aug. 8-15. Auraria will be between Summer and Fall sessions at the time. "It's a good thing for the campus. It gives a sense of how important Auraria is to the community," said Dick Feuerborn, director of the Auraria Events Center. The parking garage is a more feasible place than the original idea of using the athletic field. In the case of rain, the field wouldn't drain and could cause damage to the ground. The MSCD soccer teams will begin practice the week after the event and will need the field intact. The World Youth Day organizers have reserved the Events Center Aug. 12-14 for education classes. Parking Lot E will be a shuttle site to transport people to different activities. Parking Lot R will serve as a eating area for the participants. "We're smack dab in the middle of all the activities," Feuerborn said. The rent for the garage is $5 per person per night. The revenues from the rent 路will go toward securing the Auraria buildings. "We plan to up our security for all the buildings. Its important to be on the safe side," Feuerborn said. Students who wish to enter the buildings must provide their student l.D.'s. Only one door of each building will be unlocked. Washing facilities and portable toilets will be provided for the occupants. The Army will provide cots to the group and a medical staff will be on hand to treat minor emergencies.

ics Roll Out the Red Carpet a snowball fight took place at the Mother Cabrini Shrine. The Italian delegation provided orliy a glimpse of what will come in August. Catholics come from many societies and are people with differing ideas, Kane said.

''What we had tbgether was a real unity in the things that really count --in our faith and in our church." Mike Kane

Pres. of Auraria Catholics "What we had together was a real urlity in the things that really cooot - in our faith and in our church. It cut right across societal and cultural lines," .Kane said of the gathering in April. Kane said that today, young people in the Catholic Church are frustrated because they think

American Catholics ha ven ' t been well taught in Catholic beliefs. In the United States, people have the freedom to become involved with a variety of religious affiliations , Kane said. "But the church is a different thing. There are certain things you are called upon to believe and if you don't believe them you ' re simply not Catholic," he said. Kane said he thinks that many young people are going to be enriched in their Catholic faith when they have a chance to explore some of the Catholic beliefs during World Youth Day. Although World Youth Day is too early in the planning stage for the group to know exactly which events the Auraria Catholics will help with, they have made themselves available, It is possible that they might help with the thousands of Italian youths to be housed in the Parking and Transportation Center during the event.

Not Everyone Enthusiastic About Pope's Visit

such as "Puck the Fope," "Just Say Nope to the Pope" and "I Wish the Pope Smoked Dope." Group members wrote Denver Mayor Wellington Webb to ask that he guarantee that the First Amendment is not violated when the city spends tax dollars on the pope's visit. Webb wrote back and assured the group that city lawyers have advised him on how to keep the spending legal and within the confines of church and state separation. Other non-Catholics either support the visit or do not have strong anti-pope feelings. Denver resident Margaret Yarrow, a Quaker, sees the event in a positive light. She said the city's spending money on the pope's visit is a warm gesture. "We ought to be a gracious city," she said. Annester Taylor-Brown, facilitator of the MSCD Feminist Alliance, said she couldn't speak for the alliance but would herself rather see the money spent on teen programs and child care. "Funds should be spent democratically," she said. Auraria Lesbian and Gay Alliance president Rick Collier, who was baptized Catholic but is now Buddhist, said members of the alliance have briefly talked about the pope's visit.

Most ALAGA members agreed that the revenues generated will pay the city back twentyfold, Collier said. However, he said, the Vatican endorsed discrimination against gays in a document released last July. The group has protested this, and they as well as others within the gay and lesbian community will protest on World Youth Day, he said. Sue Anderson , coordinator of MSCD Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Student Services, said she respects any group's right to organize, but that she is concerned that the endorsement of bias by the Vatican is harmful to gay youth and creates a climate that encourages intolerance, hate and violence. Whitfield said the Freedom From Religion Foundation invited the pope to be interviewed by the group. "Obviously he is not going to show up," Whitfield said. The group has formulated questions as if they would be granted an audience with the pope. Whitfield said they came up with questions about what they consider to be biblical references to child beatings, the murder of children and the degradation of women.

Whitfield said they would also like to ask the pope why "Jesus allowed more than three dozen people to go blind last summer staring at the sun in an attempt to see the Virgin Mary at the Mother Cabrini Shrine west of Denver, why Hitler was never excommunicated, why Jesus didn't deflect the bullet when the pope was shot, and if it is possible that God is not Catholic." The group also wants to know what the pope is going to do about all the pedophile priests working under him. Whitfield cited a report from "U.S. News and World Report" that said about 400 Roman Catholic priests have been reported for sexually abusing children in to church or civil authorities during the last decade. With abuse survivors suing the church, the Freedom From Religion Foundation wants to know how the Vatican will survive the financial strain of out-of-court settlements. Whitfield said the group sees the pope as a fossil from the stone age, but has nothing against him personally. "We'd like to have him go out bowling with us," he said.

BACCHUS VIEWPOINT . In 1976, a small group on the campus of the University of Florida began what is known today as BACCHUS or Boosting Alcohol Consciousness Concerning the Health of University Students. The core message is that through peer education, BACCHUS will promote responsible decision making in terms of the use or non-use of alcoholic beverages. BACCHUS, as a local chapter, also promotes independent decisions with respect to Colorado State laws (specifically at Metropolitan State College) to rules and to regulations which apply to MSCD. 'lhese basic principles have been accomplished mainly through the use of peer education af MSCD. One of the most visible and highly successful examples was the BACCHUS/GAMMA, Area 3 Mile H.1.G.H. Conference recently hosted by Metro State last April. Credit must be given to the 75 or so participants who attended and also to the University of Northern Colorado for helping coordinate workshops and speakers. Conferences like this one help set the stage for us at Metro to continue the peer education even further. Another project which was equally successful was a combined Safe Spring Break/National Collegiate Drug Awareness Week campaign. With the help of promotional materials from BACCHUS of the U.S., Inc., several activities were sponsored on campus prior the Spring Break last semester. We also had use of Vince and Larry, the crash dummies from the Colorado Department of Transportation. Coming out of a busy Spring semester, the MSCD BACCHUS Chapter is looking full speed ahead to Fall 1993. Projects intended to increase student participation and to continue positive decision-making and responsibility toward alcohol are being planned. Chief among them is project "Mocktail." A mocktail is a non-alcoholic drink that can be chosen in place of an alcoholic mixed drink. With the cooperation of other clubs and organizations, a mocktail bar could be available for events and happenings around the Auraria Campus. With the aid of Dr. Don Sugar, our faculty advisor, a BACCHUS retreat weekend is being planned to introduce prospective members to the club's philosophy and also just to have a great time! With summer upon us, we're excited to begin planning a bigger and better chapter for the 93-94 school year. If you'd like to come and join in the fun (and a little work!), call 556-3132 or come by the MSCD Counseling Center in CN 203. Steve Sandoval MSCD BACCHUS Chapter Member

METRO CONNECTIONS

We're Looking for a Few Good Students!

If you'd like to get involved helping other students and get paid for it, then you may be interested in the Metro Connections Program. Positions are available for the 1993-94 school year. In 1990, the Metro Connections i:>rogram was created in order to help lend a sense of community to the Metro campus. The program is based in the MSCD Counseling Center and has close ties with the First Year Experience Program. Two basic tasks are accomplished by the Metro Connections Program: a.) Providing peer helpers for the First Year Experience classes and b.) Helping to write a weekly column for The Metropolitan. Peer helpers meet every week for training and are assigned one First Year Seminar class which they attend at least once a week. In their classes, peer helpers participate in discussion, meet with students individually, act as resources for new first-year students and help facilitate their acclimation to campus. This may include helping students to learn the "ropes" of financial aid and registration processes and to get involved in campus activities. In. addition, peer helpers can assist professors and can act as a "brid ge" between the students and their professors. "We're looking for people who are willing to go out of their way to reach out to other students and who can identify with some of their issues," says Dr. Barbara Vollmer, Counseling Center director. Some peer helpers also work on the weekly advice column in The Metropolitan. The column is coordinated by a counselor with whom students meet regularly . Participation can include obtaining letters from students for the column, interviewing faculty and staff for answers to questions and drafting letter responses. Peer helpers are paid a stipend that depends on how many classes they assist with and on if they work with the column. Eligibility for work study is not necessary to participate. In addition to the satisfaction of helping other students, perks for participation in Metro Connections include opportunities to work closely with faculty and members of the Counseling Center staff and to receive valuable experience, particularly for those in the speech , journalism, education, psychology and human services fields, that can be added to a resume. And there's always food at training meetings. Any Metro student interested in participating in the program should contact Joy Hart in Room 203 of the Central Classroom Building or telephone her at 556-3132.

U 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. If you would like a personal response, please include your name and phone I number and we'll get back to you.

New Players Have Volleyball Looking Ahead to Nationals n,,,,,,,,,,~

SPorts Editor If Rhonda McMullen has ever been excited about a volleyball team, no excitement could ever match the way she's feeling right now. " This is tbe most excited I've ever been about any team I've ever coached," McMullen said about her MSCD volleyball team. This year, McMullen says the team is better and the schedule is easier than last year. And last year was nothing to be

ashamed of. The Roadrunners finished seventh in the nation with an overall record of 28-10. Twenty-nine of those games were played against nationally ranked teams. Twice they had to play the number-one seed. Of the eight returning players and four new recruits, one of the standouts will be returning starting setter Lora Houdek. "Lora is going to provide a lot," McMullen said. " She's the quarterback of our team." Even John Elway would be impressed with this quarterback's statistics. Houdek averaged 11.5 assists per game, placing

herself as one of the top players i n the nation. She was named to the AllColorado Athletic Conference and AllSouth Central Region teams last year. The middle blockers for the 'Runners will be junior Crissy Canada and senior Wynema Hunter. Canada was also named to the All-CAC and All-South Central Region ~earns. Hunter, a 6-foot athlete, will also play basketball for MSCD. "These are some of the best middle blockers in Division II," McMullen said. "I'm very fortunate to have them."

THE M ETROPOLITAN

McMullen Excited to Start Volleyball Season VOLLEYBALL from page 12 Another strong aspect of the team is defensive specialist Katie Horvat. Horvat is the only three-sport athlete ever to attend MSCD. In addition to volleyball, Horvat also plays on the MSCD basketball and tennis teams. The returning players will help bring MSCD to the top, but McMullen is pleased with the four new players that are about to put on Roadrunner uniforms. The only freshman recruit is Shannon Wise, a swing hitter from Gateway High School. "She does it all - volleyball, basketball, football," McMullen said. In the winter, Wise will switch uniforms and jump into the basketball program at MSCD. But football? You bet. Wise was the starting place kicker for her high school football team. In addition to Wise, McMullen snagged a few players who already have some college experience. New faces will also include junior college transfer Chelsea Terrell, who will help as a swing hitter. Another junior college transfer Julie Stranahan will help in th middle blocker position. And one recruit that McMullen is happy to have is Melany Hunter, a tranfer out of Princeton. She was the Ivy League's Freshman of the year last year. "We're very strong in every position," McMullen said. The only thing that McMullen is going to change for this season is adding a few new defensive and blocking strategies, with maybe some additional swing offenses. "With this team, I can do so much," she said. The 'Runners have never made it to the final round of the national tournament, and that's their goal for this season. "I have a team that really wants it and is willing to work hard toward it," she said.

IMPORTANT NOTE To receive a check on Wednesday afternoon, the loan must be completed no later than 4:00 p.m. Monday. To receive a check on Friday afternoon, the loan must be completed no later than 3:00 p.m. Wednesday. Students taking less than six credit hours during summer semester or first semester freshmen who do not have financial aid are not elegible. There are no exceptions.

LAST DAY TO APPLY FOR ASUMMER SEMESTER LOAN IS JULY 7, 1993.

VOU MUST BRING!! 1. A current student ID. 2. A class printout from Admissions and Records, dated the day that you apply for the loan. 3. Proof of collateral : (one of the following) Financial Aid: An MSCD lntermemo from the Financial Aid Office. Your award letter cannot be used. Remember, you must have at least $200 left in your account to qualify. Work Study: A letter from your supervisor stating the number of hours per week you work, the rate of pay, and the supervisor's name and telephone number. You will be required to sign a payroll deduction form when you complete the loan papers. VA: A letter of understanding from the MSCD Veteran's Affairs Office. Off-Campus Employment: A letter on company letterhead sta tionary stating the number of hoursyou work per week, the rate of pay, how long you have been employed, and the supervisor's name and telephone number.

With plenty of returning players, everyone will see confidence and leadership coming from the MSCD mens' soccer team. "Psychologically, we're going to have the upperhand on our opponents," said head coach Al Ashton. "We believe in ourselves," he said. In his second year as head coach at MSCD, Ashton is really excited for the season to begin. He says that the team will be mentally and physically ready to play when official practice begins Aug. 17. "We have most of our guys back," he said. "But our one or two new faces will really help." There was a kink in Ashton's recruiting - his top recruit, who signed a letter of intent to play with the Roadrunners, didn't pass one of his college entrance exams. Ashton's not sure what will happen with that. He still expects to have a lot of walkons which would really help. "We'll have a lot more depth, and a lot more talent this year," he said. "We're going to have a lot of great players coming off the bench," Ashton said. "And they may be as good as the starters."

Leadership will come from all sides of the team this fall. Leonard Trujillo, Rich Hintman, Greg Oakley, Jeremy Loring, Adam Smith, and Andy Mosier will be the leaders of the team this season. "Andy Mosier is a real intense player," Ashton said. "I think he's going to help keep everyone fired up." Ashton says the schedule is a little easier this season, but that doesn't mean it won't be hard. The 'Runners will play three California schools and will also go against Grand Canyon UniversityPhoenix, one of the top soccer teams in the nation. But Ashton says that if the team plays hard and keeps a good fitness level, they can get the recognition and possibly a bid to the NCAA tournament. 'We also need to concentrate on good possession soccer," he said. Along side Ashton, his assistant coach is most likely to be his son , Chad. A Ranum High School graduate, Chad has also been a member of the Colorado Foxes professional soccer team since the team was formed. With all of the leadership from the team members and the experience of the coaching, look for MSCD to have an outstanding season. "We're going to be a force to be reckoned with," Ashton said. "The kids are going to be proud."
