Holliday Fired From Auraria fStaff "•1&•&111.., Wnter

The Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board is officially protesting the firing of an administrator who is known for his commitment to student concerns.

Emerson Holliday, formerly the division director of Student Services for the Auraria Higher Education Center, was released from his contract "without cause" July 28 by Executive Vice President for Administration JoAnn Soker.

According to the policy of the Auraria Board of Directors, an administrator can be terminated without cause with 90 days notice.

Holliday 's tenure ended Aug. 3, and tee hnicaily be will be an AHEC

employee until the end of October, Soker said.

Holliday, on vacation until Aug. 18, and his lawyer, were unavailable for comment.

In a memorandum, Holliday stated he has no regrets about his experiences at Auraria, neither personal nor professional.

Kersten Keith, a SACAB member and chairwoman of the Metro Activities Council said Holliday was the only AHEC administrator who was prostudent and kept free-flowing information lines open with students about Auraria issues.

She described communications with the AHEC administration in general as an unnecessary, constant fight.

Lemak Pleads Guilty to Petty Theft

r········., News Editor

MSCD Student Government Vice President Lucian Lemak pleaded guilty June 22 in a Denver courtroom to petty theft and was sentenced to one year unsupervised probation.

Lemak was charged April 19 after turning himself in to Denver police for depositing a stolen Lemak check into his bank account.

"I didn't want to plead guilty, but looking at finances and time, I wanted to

get it off my chest," Lemak said.

An assistant city attorney offered Lemak a deferred sentence, saying that if Lemak pleaded not guilty, he would face federal charges, Lemak said.

Lemak said be faced a $100 fine and possible community service but he came away paying only $23 in court costs and a petty theft charge. The charge will be dropped if he does not commit any other local, state or federal offenses.

In an interview in April, Lemak said he was approached earlier this year in campus Lot G by a woman who asked him to drive her to Boulder in exchange for $20.

Lemak said he agreed to help her, but, upon arriving in BouldeI, the woman said she had no cash.

Students Not Satisfied with Brewer's Response to Deinands ~'NiiiMIR._, ?iaff Writer

Students protesting the Women's Studies department and a lack of minority representation at MSCD were not happy with outgoing President Thomas Brewer's response to their demands.

"I was not satisfied, but I was not surprised," said Lisa Calderon, a 1993 spring graduate who organized the May 5 protest.

Calderon filed a complaint in October 1992 against one of the professors in the Women's Studies department claiming racism and an anti-male atmosphere.

Calderon has since dropped the complaint against professor Susan Brookman, who requested access to Calderon's previous education records and childhood experiences, Calderon said.

The group of about 35 students

representing MEChA, Metropolitan American Indian Students for Equality, Black Student Alliance, Sisters in Support of Change Organization and Black Men on Campus, marched to Brewer's office calling for the creation of a new grievance policy and the hiring of more culturally diverse faculty.

In response to their demands, Brewer issued a letter May 14 stating that there are already programs established for student grievance processes, and MSCD has "strengthened its commitment to cultural diversity." He also declined their request to scrap the presidential search and begin a new one.

After reviewing Brewer's response, the organizations involved in the protest sent out a letter stating that MSCD "refuses to provide adequate grievance procedures and the necessary resources to increase representation and retention of

people of color at the college."

The group is demanding the creation of a student advocacy to help students with the grievance process and student rights, and an increase in minority faculty and administrators.

Brewer said those issues are being addressed.

"Metro already has promised to hire faculty of color in all academic departments," he stated in his letter.

"Moreover, current MSCD procedure requires student participation in all academic department full-time faculty hirings."

Percy Morehouse, director of Equal Opportunity and assistant to the president, said MSCD has made great strides in hiring minority faculty through programs such as the Woman and Minority Faculty Recruitment Incentive Program.

In the past five years, he said, the

number of minority faculty has increased from 37 in 1987 to 63 in 1992.

"All of these programs we have in place have done a good job in bringing minority faculty to this campus," Morehouse said. "In fact, it (the programs) has almost doubled the amount of minority faculty in the last three years."

The organizations state, however, that increases have been minor and "Native Americans and Asians are the most under represented at the institution."

MSCD currently has four Native American and 11 Asian professors, Morehouse said.

The organizations said they will stand by their cause.

"We will not go away!" they stated in their response to Brewer. "We are prepared for a larger and more radical protest of the college if our demands are. not met!"

RTD, Auraria Close to Agreement On Student Bus Pass Proposal .-.. · r£NM4MllllG-

The Metropolitanf

(

Auraria student governments and the Regional Transportation District (RTD) are formulating an agreement that would allow student IDs to .-------=- be used as bus passes.

Charles Buchanan, Auraria Student Bus Pass Committee chairman, said he expects to present a resolution E::.•B~u::!cah..a•n•aanm_i sometime in 1ate September or early October which will be voted on by Auraria students.

John Pung, manager of research and product management for RTD, said that if approved, the bus pass/ID program would raise student fees between $15 and $25 per student per semester.

Currently, a monthly local RTD bus pass costs students $23.

The Auraria program is modeled after one started two years ago at the University of Colorado at Boulder which cost students $11 in fees last year. " RTD told us from the very beginning that the program would cost

more at Auraria," Buchanan said.

Pung agreed, saying Auraria is a commuter campus, whereas Boulder is geared toward campus housing.

The increase in student fees is" based on estimates of current and future bus use

by Auraria students. Those estimates were determined in a survey conducted by Aurip-ia student governments and RTD. Almost 3,000 questionnaires were • distributed and collected between Jan. 27 and Feb. 26 of this year. Students were asked about their commuting habits and needs, as well as what kind of effect a bus pass/ID would have on those habits.

According to the survey, 20.9 percent of all Auraria students rode the bus to or from campus in the week before answering the survey. More than 50 percent of students surveyed said they would ride the bus to campus at least once per week if they had a semester bus pass.

"It's going to help even those people who do drive, I believe, because it will free up parking," Buchanan said. He also points to less traffic and cleaner air as benefits of using public transportation.

The Bus Pass Committee, which includes Buchanan and two representatives from each Auraria school and RTD officials, will meet Aug. 24 to work out the agreement.

Emergency Phones Proposed for Campus Buildings

,......"-i Staff Wnter

In. response to recent student emergencies and harassment of teachers, the Faculty Senate is proposing to install a new phone system and more pay phones on the Auraria Campus.

Elizabeth Friot, professor of teacher education and former president of the Faculty Senate, said it is obvious why the system is necessary.

"When there are emergencies, help can be gotten as quick as possible,

particularly in evening classes when the offices are not open and people do not have access to a phone," she said.

Jerry Boswell, MSCD Finance department chairman and president of the Faculty Senate, said several MSCD professors have been harassed recently and one student passed out in a lavatory.

Different arrangements for the phones had been proposed, including placing a phone in every classroom. The latest plan, presented June 14 to the Auraria Board of Directors, would cost

Athletic Fee, Student Activity Fee Increase

rt"""'~'""_,

!taff Wnter _

MSCD's athletic fees increased for fall semester even though 86 percent of students who voted in the spring elections did not support the hike.

The new rate is $18 per student compared with last semester's $17, although the fall schedule lists the fee at $19.

This discrepancy is because the schedules were printed before the Board of Trustees had considered the $2 increase originally requested by MSCD's administration, said Student Trustee Matthew Bates.

Bates said he attended a Board of Trustees meeting this summer, and as a result of his negotiations, the board compromised by raising the athletic fee $1 rather than $2.

The athletic fee is spent only on intercollegiate athletics, Bates said.

The agenda for a June Trustees meeting states that the athletic fee increase " will be used for equipment replacement, increased funding of the women's volleyball program, increased costs of game officiating mandated by the

NCAA, fund accumulation for a new team bus, and to offset reduced General Fund support of intercollegiate athletics."

William M. Helman, athletic director of intercollegiate athletics, said students can benefit from the athletic fee by direct athletic participation or by attending any of the games free of charge with their MSCD student ID. "We also bring more advertising value to the school than any other single thing," he said.

MSCD's student activity fee has also increased, on a sliding scale of $1 to $4, depending on the number of credit hours taken by the student. Students taking 12 credit hours have to pay $5 more in student fees this semester, for a total of $128.50, the highest on the Auraria c~pus.

"The student activity fee went up largely to fund an increased service level at the Student Health Center," said Cheryl Knibbe, budget office representative for MSCD. Knibbe said that inflation and increased salaries in all programs were also to blame for the increase in the student activity fee.

Lemak Gets Probation LEMAK from page 1 unknown, gave Lemak a $50 check which was made out to Bonnie McNeill, an Auraria Education Center employee.

Lemak then gave the woman $30 cash as

change for the check, he said.

The check, issued in January by Rocky Mountain Bank Card System, was mistakenly sent to the Auraria Book Center instead of to the parking office where McNeill works, McNeill said.

She said that when she called the company to locate the check, she learned it.had been sent to the wrong box number and had been cashed.

The company faxed a copy of the canceled check to McNeill who found that the check was endorsed by Lemak and deposited into his checking account at First Bank, she said.

McNeill filed a complaint with Auraria Public Safety, which contacted Denver police.

Detective James A. Rock of the Postal Inspection Service Task Force said

he tried to contact Lemak 11 times since March 16.

Lemak contacted Rock April 19 and was charged with theft and forgery. The charge was later reduced to petty theft.

McNeill said she was satisfied w1.th the way everything worked out.

"I just wanted the students to know what kind of person they elected," she said of Lemak.

Holliday Has ''No Regrets'' HOLLIDAY from page 1 members of the Student Advisory Committee and the AHEC Student Services staff, Holliday emphasized treating employees with respect and preserving students' interests as "the primary purpose for our division's existence."

Keith said she suspected "racial issues" motivated the decision to terminate Holliday, who is AfricanAmerican.

She declined to say what made her suspect this, or if other AHEC employees had suffered similar treatment.

Keith said she will write a letter to JoAnn Soker and ask the Equal Opportunity Employment Commission to investigate the dismissal.

Soker called the allegations of racism "completely untrue" and said that although she cannot discuss confidential personnel information, her reasons for firing Holliday are completely legitimate.

"I suppose it's easy to stand on the outside and say 'He was black, therefore this must be racist,' " Soker said. "If it was a woman, they could say it was sexist."

Soker and Dean Wolf, vice president for operations, who has taken over Holliday's position temporarily, said the termination was due to "basic philosophical differences."

Alvertis Simmons, staff director of the Rainbow Coalition, and an MSCD graduate, described Holliday's work as fantastic.

"I could call Emerson up and get some things done without all the¡ red tape," Simmons said.

Holliday went out of his way to work with any student campus group that needed his help, he said.

Simmons said he plans to contact Gov. Romer and rally together community groups like the Urban League, the Rainbow Coalition and the NAACP to protest, if they found Holliday was fired because of his race.

A meeting will be held with the AHEC Board of Directors when Holliday returns, Simmons said.

"We will negotiate, but if it becomes messy, then it will get messy," Simmons said.

He said he needs more information from Soker about Holliday's dismissal, adding that he hopes to obtain a copy of the termination letter.

He added that he doubted Soker would act carel.essly.

"It's one thing to call this discrimination; it's another thing to have proof...Community groups are waiting to step forward-they just need the information." he said.

New Language Lab Offers Advanced Technology

,,_.

.. .

•

Achtung, baby: Modem language students, who for years have complained about the muddied sound quality and the ghostly voices often heard on the audio tapes they are required to use in the modem languages lab, will finally be getting some relief this fall.

By the end of September, interactive video monitors, brand new audio equipment and state-of-the-art computers will be incorporated into the modern languages curriculum.

Olivia Hartenstein-Lopez, an MSCD Spanish professor, said from both the teaching and learning aspects, everyone will benefit from the new lab facility. " It has been awful," HartensteinLopez said of the conditions at the current lab. "I'm glad that we finally were able to improve the lab. Incorporating this type of technology has had tremendous results in terms of learning [foreign] languages and students seem to enjoy it."

Hartenstein-Lopez said the Modem Languages faculty have been lobbying for improvement for years, but one thing stood in the way - dinero.

"It's always been a money situation," Hartenstein-Lopez said, "we were never able to purchase any of the best equipment. Plus, the technology wasn't there. This new equipment is the best of the technology in this area."

The cost to MSCD for lab improvements is just under $150,000.

Technology and big bucks aside, there are some changes that students may find disconcerting.

According to Seferino Hurtado , mode~ languages lab director, it may be next summer before all the kinks are worked out and the lab is fully functional.

"The lab won't be fully running for at least a year," Hurtado said.

Students can expect to ~ave at least 24 multimedia stations available to them.

Two students will be able to use the stations at a time. Computers will accompany the interactive monitors, even replacing class time for some students, he said.

Only 24 new audio recorders have been purchased, however, which could pose some logistics problems for the hundreds of modem languages students that will need to use the facility. Both Hurtado and Hartenstein-Lopez admit that the department may have to come up with some creative solutions to alleviate the problem.

"We may have to use a library system where students would have to check out the equipment. Or we may have to get a boom box and schedule entire classes in the lab at a time," Hurtado said.

Hurtado said there will be attempts to get more than one class session per week.

Hartenstein-Lopez offers another possibility: "We may have to leave some of the old machines in to accommodate [the numbers of students]," she said.

However, that has left some students wondering if it would be worth it to take a modern language course this fall or spring. " [Class sessions] in the lab might help make the class more structured, and I would like that," said Kelly Costello, an MSCD journalism major who has taken French courses, "but I don't think many people would comprehend the lessons well."

Hurtado admits that the transition will be difficult, but emphasizes there is little else that can be done.

"Everyone's [aware] of the situation.

The faculty are extremely concerned about the transition time ... but other schools have been using the library systems and class sessions for decades," Hurtado said, "and it will be the students' responsibility to adjust. You either make it--or too bad."

In the North Classroom, the tentative "Emergency Telephone System" plan would put five phones in the first floor hallways and four phones on the second and third floors. The South Classroom, Science and Arts Buildings would also be equipped with "ring-down'"lines.

Unlike the campus phones that are in place now, "ring-down" lines would immediately put the caller in touch with a public safety dispatcher. Extension numbers and local calls would not be able to be dialed.

Boswell said he believes potential emergencies justify putting a phone in every classroom in all campus buildings.

Most lounges have phones that dial campus extensions but are not directly linked to Auraria Public Safety as "ringdown" Jines would be, Boswell said.

Some Christians are still waging holy wars and spreading terror in the name of God and religion today just as they have throughout history.

Just ask CU football coach Bill McCartney or Randall Terry of Operation Rescue. With their newage inquisitions they and others are waging, they just can't resist dominating people's thoughts and choices by forcing upon them their perception of God. Looking back into history it's easy to see where they may have gotten such ideas of domination and intolerance for free will and free thinking. Let's look at some highlights of the Roman Catholic Church: • In hoc signo vinces, (In this sign you shall conquer) is what Constantine in the year 323 said of his "dream" of a cross. He subsequent.ly converted the state religion of the waning imperial Roman empire to Christianity. Clever solution to control the early Christians who so despised their pagan rulers - he turned them into guilty sinners.

• In 1562, in what is now the Mexican Yucatan, the Inquisition-driven Franciscan friar Diego de Landa discovered a depository of ancient hieroglyphic books in the town of ~anf where the nature-revering Maya lived. This indigenous culture worshiped the earth and to them everything was sacred. Intolerant of their natural gods and rituals, de Landa ordered the meticulously crafted codices confiscated and publicly burned. Along with it was the hanging and burning of Maya priests.

• In 1633 Galileo was just trying to report the facts of nature set by Copernicus that the earth moves around the sun, and he could prove it with his telescope. In his writings he tried to compromise with the holy scriptures that incorrectly insisted the earth was at the center of the universe. Instead the Inquisition forced him to come to Rome and publicly recant his work. His books banned, he was forced to live out his life alone only to secretly write another book that was smuggled out of the country.

to develop the science of dynamics and eventually a theory of universal gravitation.

• And then there is creationism. Before the nineteenth century Catholic doctrine insisted that the world began in exactly 4004 B.C. Any other idea was considered blasphemous. There was no history before the Bible. Science again proves this false as free minds have unfolded evidence of prehistory and evolution.

All this in the name of God and religion.

Today the pope and fanatic Christians still desire to conquer by restricting people's freedom of choice in sex, sexual orientation, abortion, religion, artistic expression or divorce.

The Roman Catholic Church and the pope are still in the dark ages, clinging to the inflexible rules of an ancient time and place. The pope refuses to accept the facts of the here and now with modern problems that need rational , pragmatic solutions.

And the Church thinks a loss of faith in God is what ails society.

The pope still "unambiguously" confirms his ban on birth control while people die from AIDS, cities swell from overpopulation and children are abused and abandoned . The pope has even warned against "radical feminism ." He fears increasing nature worship by Roman Catholics. Perhaps if we did worship nature more we might just have a healthier environment · And now the pope tells his followers to go out and preach. Please, don't call us, we'll call you.

In respect for Jesus Christ, I would hope that the idea of whatever god one chooses to worship is peaceful, merciful and forgiving. One that loves unconditionally. One that doesn't judge or condemn, and certainly One that doesn't teach to devote one's self to destroying the rights of others.

Which reminds me of the United States Constitution that was created with free citizens in mind. I'll stick with the law of the First Amendment rather than those in the Bible, considering its track record.

The grandchildren of the kids who used to weep because the Little Match Girl froze to death now feel cheated if she isn't slugged, raped and thrown into a Bessemer converter."

-Jenkin Lloyd Jones

As an employee on the Auraria Campus, I enjoy reading the student publications from each of the three schools. I find the articles to be very well written and offer differing points of view which is so very important. I read with particular interest an article in the May 28, 1993 edition of The Metropolitan about the upcoming plans involving the campus during World Youth Day. Along with this article was a piece profiling the Auraria Catholics. Without realizing it, The Metropolitan brought to light a problem - and I couldn't be happier! The name of this organization, "Auraria Catholics," is very misleading and cause for concern for Catholic faculty and staff on the campus for the following reasons: a) Does "Auraria Catholics" mean and include all Catholics on campus, whether they be faculty, staff or students? b) Is the "Auraria Catholics" an organization for students only? c) Is the "Auraria Catholics" a loosely knit organization which includes a few students and many interested persons from outside the campus?

I'd like to explore the above points in detail: -Taken at face value , the name "Auraria Catholics" implies the participation by all Catholic faculty, staff and students. If this is how it was intended, activities on this campus must be planned and implemented accordingly. At this time, only the needs of the students are being met.

Faculty and staff too have special needs which must be addressed but are not at this time. Hate crimes are on the increasing on the campus which was evident not long ago when the office of an African American staff person at UCD was vandalized. Catholics on campus too have been victims but these incidents received no press highlighting these assaults. Catholic faculty and staff too must have a vehicle to share their feelings like their student counterparts. The preceding Catholic campus minister was very successful including all Catholics members in campus activities so I know it can be done!

-If the "Auraria Catholics" is to include only students , perhaps the name of the organization should be the Auraria Newman Center or the Auraria Catholics Student Union.

-Lastly, I am distressed about reports that the current "Auraria Catholics" is made up of a fair number of members who currently have no immediate ties to the campus other than as members of this organization. What is also disturbing (if my memory serves me correctly) is some of the officers may not currently be faculty, staff or students on the Auraria Campus. How are these persons qualified to minister to others who spend a great deal of time on this campus if they themselves do not either work or attend classes on this campus?

In closing, it is now time to address those concerns outlined above. I am forwarding copies of my editorial and a copy of The Metropolitan article to JoAnn Soke r, Executive Vice President f or Admin istration at the Auraria Higher Education Center, Fr. Regis Scanlon , the Auraria Catholic Campus Minister, and the editors of the other two student publications on campus to bring an awareness to the needs of another very important group on campus - the faculty and staff.

hen I first sat down to write this column I fully intended to write about the new beginning that many students are facing in college life. Instead this is what poured out of my head, ramblings about a summer filled with violence and its impact on us.

I don't believe the violence we witnessed during the summer is over, I think it was a preview of what is in store for Denver if something isn't done fast. The city of Los Angeles didn't one morning wake up with two gang members and the next day there were 70,000. Could it have started like this?

How many innocent lives will be torn apart by violence before someone figures out that there is a major problem brewing in the Denver metro area?

What type of society do we live in when three, four and 6-year-old kids get shot? The public was outraged for a little while, but now it seems as if everyone has let it slide. Well, everyone except for the families of Broderick Bell Jr., Michael Barela and Anthony Cordova, the kids caught in the middle of gunfire meant for someone else.

T

he city of Los Angeles didn't one morning wake up with two gang members and the next day there were 70 ,000.

What type of society do we live in when citizens of our city are beaten and killed for no other reason than someone wants something they have? Thomas Hollar, 30, was shot dead because he decided to stand up to a couple of tl:lugs who wanted his car and money. Hollar's wife, Christina, was kidnapped and severely beaten in the senseless assault.

I wonder if normal citizens could walk around with guns strapped to their hips, would criminals be as quick to pull a gun on someone? I doubt it, because no matter what anyone says no one is ready to die.

With the number of new students on this campus every semester I hope that there are no "bad apples" in the bunch and violence does not spread to our campus.

I'm not judging anyone who comes onto this campus, I'm just voicing a concern that is very real when you bring more than 30,000 people together from different backgrounds and cultures.

Too many times the cause of violence is a lack of understanding. As an African American I know all too well what it feels like to be misunderstood. Just because I choose to go to the mall with four of my friends does not mean that I am a threat to anyone, I want to shop like everyone else.

I would like to hear from all the students on this campus who have suffered or witnessed this type of misunderstanding. So write me a letter or drop by the office, my door is always open, and let me know what is going on in our communities.

African American, Asian, Hispanic or whatever you may be, we are all brothers and sisters.

So my words of wisdom for this week are: Be understanding of each other and try just a little harder to accept that which is different.

LETIERS TO THE EDITOR OPINIONS INSIGHT

SACAB Protests Holliday's Firing The following is a letter addressed to JoAnn Saker, executive vice president for administration at Auraria.

Dear JoAnn: This letter is to inform you of SACAB's intent to file a formal protest of the termination of Emerson E. Holliday.

Mr. Holliday is the administrator with whom SACAB worked closest. The levels of communication established with Mr. Holliday were excellent. It is possible that this level of communication might not be achieved with another administrator, as Mr. Holliday was accessible to students and willing to support students in all matters. Mr. Holliday's experience and knowledge came to be a great asset in our working relationship, and another administrator will most likely not be able to fill Mr. Holliday's position adequately, nor will another administrator be able to re-create the level of enthusiasm with which Mr. Holliday worked. It should also be noted that the students found Mr. Holliday to be very amiable, and he was (and is) highly respected by the students with whom he came into contact. The Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board, therefore, stands firm on its position as being officially in protest of Mr. Holliday's termination.

Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

Sincerely, Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board.

RESOLUTION WHEREAS, Emerson E. Holliday has served the Auraria Higher Education Center from May 1988 through July 1993; and WHEREAS, Mr. Holliday has been involved with many areas of Student Services including, but not limited to, Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board, Student Union Administration, Tivoli Student Union, Child Care Center, Conference Services, Campus l.D. Program, Emmanuel Gallery Visitor Information Center , Disabled Student Services, Off Campus Housing, Information and Referral Services, Auxiliary Contracts, Postal Services, and Personal Products; and WHEREAS, Mr. Holliday has been a dedicated member of the Auraria Higher Education Center who actively and enthusiastically contributed to the development and enhancement of the Auraria Campus through conscientious attendance and participation in meetings of the Board and its committees; and WHEREAS, Mr. Holliday has worked tirelessly, faithfully, and thoughtfully, with good humor and patience, for the good of the campus and its students; THEREFORE BE IT NOW RESOLVED that the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board extends its heartfelt appreciation to Mr. Holliday for his contributions to the Auraria Campus, its institutions and its students. His work is greatly appreciated and will be long remembered.

"Everyone is so friendly here!"

Wearing a scarf with the colors of the Italian flag around his neck and with a backpack slung over his shoulders, Bolognesi sat outside the Auraria Parking and Transportation Center chatting with a group of other Italian friends who had made the pilgrimage.

Like Bolognesi, more than 180,000 youths from 73 countries had come to celebrate World .Youth Day in Denver from August 12,15. 4,000 youths, mostly Italian, made the PTC and Auraria their home away from home for the Catholic celebration.

The throngs of youths aged 18 to 39 ate, slept, sang and played on the Auraria campus during this historic event to rejuvenate their Catholic faith and, of course, to see Pope John Paul II.

Carmelite sisters rejoice in front of the Student Union

A pil

Enthusiastic WYO participants return to Auraria after a long day of events Story by Patricia Sydney Straub Photos by Andy Cross The action was a steady build from Monday, August 9 when the first few backpackers arrived. Scouting out the campus and the downtown area, a blur of languages and excited faces were buried in maps looking for the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception where the pope stayed. Each day many more pilgrims came, trekking across campus with the familiar backpack and a WYO participant card around their neck. Many carried the flags of their country: Switzerland, Vietnam, El Salvador, Mexico, or a banner with the · name of their diocese. By Thursday, after the arrival of the pope, World Youth Day was here, and the Auraria campus was transformed with thousands of faces of many nationalities, yet only one faith.

On Wednesday, a Wes tern welcome entertained the youths with performances by the Westerneers Drill Team and Native American dancing and trick roping.

"This is fabulous!" said JoAnn Soker, AHEC executive vice president for administration, who helped coordinate the arrangements . . "Everything is going smoothly."

The youths Charlestoned to the sounds of the Sentimental Swing Sextet before heading off to other festivities at Civic Center Park which was renamed Celebration Plaza for the event.

The Auraria campus was a hub of activity to serve the pilgrims. 400 buses a day dropped off youth from other accommodation sites. A campus

orientation brochure in Italian topped with a Hershey kiss greeted travelers on each of the cots at the ITC. Women slept on the ground level while men were assigned to the second and third levels. The fourth level was open for prayers and gatherings, said Mark Gallagher, AHEC parking director.

"The Italians are really happy people," he said. "And we're really trying to make Auraria the best place to stay."

On Tuesday night, 10 busloads of Italians showed up at 2 a.m., he said.

Besides the Italians, Swiss pilgrims were also grouped in the ITC because one of the four languages they speak is Italian, Gallagher said. 20 youths from Mexico, one from Minnesota and two from Wyoming also stayed, as well as a few lost people.

"Two Californians were lost," Gallagher said. "They got on the wrong bus as they were headed for Loveland, so we put them up for the night." And when a mother with her 1-year-old child showed up, they set up a nursery crib and padding provided by the Auraria Child Care Center.

Forty-seven pilgrims from El Salvador ended up in the ITC for a night. 21-yearold Antonio Orellana of San Salvador explained that 237 more of them didn't make it on the plane in Miami because it was overbooked. They spent Tuesday night at the PTC before moving on to their regular accommodations at Arvada High School. Orellana was pleased with the ITC accommodations, although he said he couldn't get any sleep because his friends were up all night talking. Gallagher said that at 4 a.m. Wednesday night some girls

WYO pilgrims gather for song, dance and prayer early Sunday morning a· woke up, went to King Soopers and decided they wanted to have a picnic.

Gallagher said there were no security problems, although the original security hired by WYO organizers, ESI security, were let go early. Gallagher said AHEC had in their contract with WYO that if the security was not up to their standards they could let them go. After ESI didn't set up the cots as they were supposed to and their plan didn't pass the fire code, they made the decision to dismiss them. WYO reassigned ESI elsewhere and AHEC became the housing manager and the internal security.

Many pilgrims got sick from a combination of things including dehydration, heat and Colorado's high altitude which many pilgrims were not accustomed to, Gallagher said. Some had

to be taken to the hospital, but not for anything serious.

• In the Student Union, Judy Fey's Espresso, Etc. was packed in the morning as Italians with a passion for cappuccino and coffee filled the main hallway and tables during breakfasts and evenings.

"They were really hungry!" Fey said of the masses Tuesday morning. McDonald's food service wasn't started until Wednesday morning. The language barrier was difficult, Fey said, but that didn't get them down as they got by with sign language.

Sitting in the Student Uniop Wednesday morning 24-year old Cecilia>" Ricciardi of Laspezia, Italy s ipped her cappuccino. "It is very nice here," she said.

"Traveling so far it's nice to meet and understand people and other ways of loving and following Catholic ideals," she said._ ,.-"'!

The campus to the downtown area overflowed with the cheerful voices of the

They returned Sunday evening the 15th for their last night in the PTC. On Monday morning, they had their Last cups of cappuccino and headed back home, the PTC once again returned to its regular state ready for the fall semester. The memories of a historic event etched in Auraria's history forever.

expression when referring to her at a meeting.

This attitude has gotten Kersten Keith far in life.

Kersten Keith "Kersten is probably the most knowledgeable student about how AHEC decision making affects students," said Barb Ferrill, MSCD Student Government president. "As the Auraria Board member, she has done more for student interests and student empowerment than anyone else I know."

This successful 25-year-old junior was a four-time high school dropout. "At the time, it was a matter of getting food or going to school," Keith said.

A rough childhood made her rebellious with an authority problem.

"I wasn't what you'd call a normal kid," Keith said, mentioning her reluctance to follow rules as one of the reasons she dropped out of school.

As a 15-year-old, Keith started her

first job and at age 16 she moved out of her father's house.

"I was forced to grow up quick. I couldn't relate to classmates my own age," she said. As a result, she started attending classes at an alternative school.

She realized the importance of education when she managed a restaurant in Denver.

"I hired people twice my age, and they

hoping to avoid dropping out of school a fifth time.

"I needed something to keep me in school. I wanted to know what was going on, so I could challenge it," Keith said.

"Getting involved in student issues," Keith sai:d, "is a secure way to stay in school."

Keith is involved on campus as an Auraria Board member, a Student

were really nice people who couldn't look forward to ever retiring," Keith said.

"Work would keep them on their feet for the rest of their lives. I told myself, ' I can't do this. Maybe I can help to change it.'"

In 1990, Keith met her husband, Jeffrey , a professional fine artist, and included in her marriage vows a promise to go back to school. Keith plans to graduate with a political science degree in December of 1994.

Through the years, Keith has remained a rebel, and she still questions authority.

She became involved in campus politics and organizations as a freshman

on campus, with her two jobs, her political assignments and her full load of classes.

'The amount of time she has spent (on campus issues) is extraordinary," said JoAnn Saker, executive vice president of administration for AHEC. "She has put a lot of time into the Tivoli plan including vendor and food selections."

After graduation, she wants to earn a doctorate in international policy and stay involved in campus politics.

"I want to see an international education system in the future. There are great aspects of each culture in the world that should be shared," she said.

Keith won an MSCD Giraffe A ward for her courage and ambition to fight for students' rights on campus. " During her time on the Auraria Board, SACAB and the Tivoli Planning Committee, she has strongly advocated the student point of view," Saker said.

"Receiving the award meant a moment to breathe and to realize that I'm actually accomplishing something," Keith said, adding that she tends to rush between projects so quickly that she seldom has time to look back at what she has accomplished.

"The best thing about Metro is the diversity of people here. The nontraditional population has given me an open mind and has helped me stand up for who I am."

When asked how to get students on campus involved in organizations she said, "We need to bring life to campus."

"Guest speakers are great sources of inspiration. Things can be political and fun at the same time," she said, mentioning visits by Spike Lee and Angela Davis. She worked on the Chicano Literary Conference last spring and is currently working on visits by Maya Angelou and Ellen Degeneres.

'94 Metrosphere Seeks New Contributors

rz11wm1.., Staff Wnter

The search for submissions to the 1994 Metrosphere , MSCD ' s arts and literary magazine, is underway, and everyone from English to engineering majors should submit something, said its new editor in chief, Lisa Dayley.

"I want everyone to feel they can contribute," Dayley said. "I think students should take the opportunity to grab what comes their way; whether it's a club, or an arts and literary magazine."

Dayley said that having a publication like Metrosphere on campus is a chance for students to enhance their skills and their resume, either by submitting or by volunteering as a staff member.

"It's the little things you do in college

that add up to a big thing later. "You can't just do homework; you have to do the extra-curricular things also," she said.

Categories in the magazine include poetry, fiction , non-fiction, playwriting, arts and a new category - music. Dayley said since MSCD has a school of music, the magazine should include it as well.

She said there will be an emphasis on humor in the issue if possible.

"We' d like to see things that will make your heart smile.

"I do know there's a lot of talent at Metro," she said. "Top talent. It just needs to be harvested."

Judging is anonymous and recognition will be given to the first place winners in each category.

"But anybody who submits to the magazine is a winner. It takes a lot of guts

to be judged by your peers," Dayley said.

Dayley, a technical communications major and a junior at MSCD, has written a column for a monthly magazine, copy edited for a student newspaper, has been a staff reporter for The Metropolitan and is working on a novel about her pioneer great-grandmother.

"I thought it would be an exciting change," she said of her switch to editor.

Dayley said new contributors are especially welcome. She would like to see more art submissions than there have been in the past, although 'everything will have an equal opportunity for publication.

Submissions will be accepted until November 24. Metrosphere wilJ be published in the spring semester. Dayley can be reached at Student Union Room 156 or call 556-3940.

Kenneth Branagh has again engaged veteran Shakespearophiles and novice bardwatchers alike with this summer's "Much Ado About Nothing."

Branagh bas made Shakespeare's ~ time-transcendent love story even more friendly to modem viewers by directing the actors to speak in their native dialects.

Keanu Reeves (Don John - the villain) and Robert Sean Leonard (Claudio lover, victim and accuser) seethe with melodrama despite this. The histrionics work well for Reeves, who has few lines but an undeniable, menacing presence throughout. The improvement over his performance in "Dracula" is considerable.

Leonard, who was so engaging in the lead in "Dead Poet's Society," sounds a i bit stilted. Denzel Washington, always a versatile actor, seems to have taken naturally to the style and is probably the most believable of the performers.

The movie was filmed in central Italy, instead of Shakespeare's designate, • Sicily. Branagh's choice is a lusher setting and less imposed upon by modem civilization. This lends a realism to the set and allows the audience to get lost in the romantic idyll of the Italian household of Leonato (Richard Breirs), a wealthy and much-loved widower of Messina; his only daughter, the beautiful Hero (Kate Beckinsale), and his niece and ward, Beatrice (Emma Thompson).

and family, is reputed as currently on speaking terms with his brother, but his surface tolerance is short lived.

Don John is perturbed by the favor bestowed by his brother upon Claudio and craves an opportunity to cause trouble.

E m m a Meanwhile Claudio's Thompson, who is Branagh's wife, is the previous liking of Hero becomes both sensual and sarcastic as Beatrice love the instant he lays eyes on and does well in the role Shakespeare her again and sees she is wrote as perhaps the Samuel Goldwyn Company/Clive Coote similarly strongest character in Hero {Kate Beckinsale) and Claudio interested. They the play. get engaged and The story begins {Robert Sean Leonard) as young provide Don as the heroic troupe lovers In Much Ado About Nothing.

John an outlet of soldiers returns triumphant from battle for R&R at Signior for rage; he plots to interfere in their Leonato's. The household receives news happiness. Don John pays his companion of Claudio's valor in battle, of his Borachio (Gerard Horan), who is in good friendship with Benedick and his favor graces with Hero's gentlewoman, with Don Pedro (Denzel Washington), the Margaret (Imelda Staunton), to make love Prince of Arragon, an old family friend. to Margaret in Hero's window while Don John (Reeves), Don Pedro's irascible calling out Hero's name. As Boracbio bastard brother, often at odds with friends fulfills his office, Don John leads both Branagh is nothing less than perfect in the role of Benedick, an avowed bachelor who falls in love with Beatrice, who is equally antimatrimonial in her tart and lofty wit.

Branagh is hilarious, endearing and even more engaging in the role of the merry soldier and friend Benedick than he was as Henry V.

''I HOPE I DD THIS WELL WHEN I IRADUATE~'' "I only work part-lime at UPS, but I make almost $10,000 a year. That's right Working only about 4 hours a day, 5 days a week. I get weekends off. And I got to pick when I work-mornings, afternoons, or nights-whatever fit around my class schedule the best "But that's not all. The benefits are great, too. I get paid holidays and vacations, medical and dental coverage, even a student loan 1f I need one.

And, I'm not talking about some pittance, I can get up to $25,000 a year if I need it Best of all, I'm getting great on~ the-Job experience. I work in Operations, but openings come up 1n Accounting, Industrial Engineering, LS. and Customer Service.

Claudio and Don Pedro below the window and they are deceived that Hero is a wanton woman.

As Don John plots the disunion of Claudio and Hero; Claudio, Don Pedro and Leonato are conspiring a marriage between Benedick to Beatrice, who have previously maintained a bitingly sarcastic war of words for years. In the most riotously funny scenes of the film, Claudio overhears his friends talk of Beatrice's love for him and be is at first astounded then ecstatic and vows to requite Beatrice's supposed love. Next Beatrice hears Hero and Beatrice• s gentlewoman Ursula (Phyllida Law) speak of Benedick's devotion to her. She is likewise dumbfounded and pleased.

Michael Keaton gives one of his most memorable portrayals as Dogberry, the local constable, who is more than eccentric. He is the wise clown who with his idiotic subordinates proves Don John to be the villain and Hero, Claudio and Don Pedro the victims.

Many excellent performances are seen in this light-hearted version produced by the Samuel Goldwyn Company.

Branagh has removed anti-semitic references, producing the script in a more modem, tolerant fashion. One must read Shakespeare to fully recognize its richness and complexity and to divine the troublesome social and political reflections of its time, but for comedy and entertainment, no one does it better than Branagh.

AUGUST 20, 1993

·Variety of Telecourses to be Offered this Fall ..f'"MINIWll4~ Staff Wnter For those students who cannot or prefer not to come to campus, MSCD offers many telecourse options.

Destinos, a new conversational Spanish course, will feature a serial drama in which characters use the words the students are learning, said Alida Franco, Telecourse Coordinator and Director of Metro North. The characters travel through Spain, Argentina, Mexico and Puerto Rico. While following their travels, students will learn the different styles of Spanish.

Although classes are offered through

the Extended Campus Program and have extra fees, tuition is about the same as normal classes because some campus fees such as commuting and parking expenses are eliminated, Franco said.

"It meets the needs of adults who have hectic demands on their schedules, like jobs and family, and can't attend classes," Franco said, adding that the courses are fuJly accredited.

Textbooks and study guides accompany the programs, and students attend classes on campus once or twice a month, usuaJly on Saturday.

"Some people sign up thinking they' re just going to watch TV, but they find out there's more," Franco said.

Most of the programs are so much more like a television documentary than a classroom lecture that many viewers who aren't students watch the shows for entertainment, Franco said.

For student viewers who miss a class, copies of each episode are available in the Auraria Library Media Center. _ Destinos and 10 other classes will be shown on KRMA, Channel 6; KBDI-TV, Channel 12, and some cable channels.

Course information is listed in the Metro Options schedule, which is available in Central Classroom.

Students can call the Telecourse Office at 450-5111 for a copy of "Student Guide for Taking Telecourses."

t>-'--------------------Wotnen's Soccer Lineup Looks Tough for Fall 1993 flBllAML~ Sports Editor Women's soccer Coach Ed Montojo is very anxious to start the new season.

The Roadrunners are coming off a winning season, ending last year with two major wins. They won their la st six season games and beat two nationallyranked teams. They finished their season 7-6-5.

"We're looking to keep the streak going," Montojo said.

This year's soccer season has 20 games, including.nine conference games.

"We have another tough schedule, but it's not as tough as last year," Montojo said.

The 'Runners are starting their season off in Colorado Springs, challenging Colorado College, whose team is ranked in the top 20 for the NCAA Division II. During the third week in September MSCD's 'Runners are going to New York to match with Adelphi University, whose team placed second in the national tournament.

Montojo said some of the team's toughest competition will come from Southern Illinois University and the University of Missouri-St. Louis. Both of

Jennifer Duran and Julie Russell practice soccer drills during morning practice. these teams are nationally ranked and fell to the 'Runners at the end of last season.

Colorado College and the University of Northern Colorado are expected to be tough teams to beat also, the coach said.

The 'Runners for this fall have many returning players, including Trina Gerstner, Renee Richie and Cindy Roush.

Co-captains for this years team are Rosie Durbin and Cindy Roush.

Roush has been having knee problems and said she was scheduled to have the knee scoped. A doctor will check her knee with a small camera to see if there is any serious damage.

Last season, the other co-captain, Durbin had six goals. Anna Martinez was the team's leading scorer with 20 points, including a team high of eight goals and four assists.

One of the new players, Chellie McCourt, is a goalie from Barry University in Florida. Barry University's team won the Division II National Championship last year.

Another newcomer is Shawna Artzer from Northglenn High School. She was an all-league selection and the coach describes her as an extremely fast forward.

Deborah Sopashe is a defender from Lewis-Palmer High School in Monument.

She was chosen as the 1 A-4A High School Player of the Year. Meggan Schulze, a mid-fielder, from Horizon High School in Thornton, was an All-
