Auraria Board Considers Student Compensation for Current Student Union

News Editor Stops Executive Session Victor Anthony THE METROPOLITAN

At its September meeting on Monday, the Auraria Board of Directors attempted to go into executive session but was stopped in its tracks due to a legal technicality raised by The Metropolitan's news editor. Antoinette Vecchio disputed with King Trimble, chairman of the Auraria Board, and other board members after Trimble requested a

vote to withdraw from the public portion of the meeting to discuss personnel matters regarding Emerson Holliday, and other issues. Holliday, the former division director of Student Services for Auraria Higher Education Center, was released from his contract in July. " If this is going to be an executive session closed to the public, then Mr. Holliday must request that it be closed to the public," Vecchio said. see SESSION page 8 administration.

Plans were developed by AHEC in cooperation with the three schools on campus to use the Student Union for classrooms after its current functions were moved to the Tivoli, said Dean Wolf, vice president of operations. At issue now is the way the current Student Union space has been and will be funded once the building is converted to academic space. "We have no problem with the Auraria Student Union being used for academic space," Keith said. She said she agrees that a need for more classrooms at Auraria should be addressed. "But we do have a problem with the fact that not all of the bonds that were taken out to build and support this building, the bond funds of the 1977 series, have been paid off yet," she said. The bonds Keith referred to were issued in connection with the Student Union building. There are currently $4,855,000 of Series 1977A Bonds outstanding according to AHEC reports. Because the Student Union is not academic space, student fees, not tuition, have been used to pay off this debt. The Colorado Commission of Higher Education (CCHE) strictly prohibits the use of student fees to construct academic facilities. "It's al ways subject to change, but that's our current policy," said Robert Moore, the acting executive director of CCHE. It is AHEC's contention that the debt load of the current Student Union was shifted to the Tivoli as part of the referendum approved by students in April of 1991, Wolf said.

New MSCD President Kaplan is Dedicated to Minority Enrollment, Administrative Changes Robyn Schwartz COPY EDITOR

In her first week in office, MSCD's new president, Sheila Kaplan, has instituted a freeze on administrative re-hiring, made a commitment to an increased minority student graduation rate , and announced her intent to create a vice presidency position for Student Affairs. Kaplan took office Sept. 7 after leaving as Chancellor at University of Wisconsin-Parkside. Her accomplishment there include boosting enrollment and graduation rates for minorities, spearheading a $1 .2 million fundraiser for scholarships, and helping create women's and ethnic studies programs. Kaplan said the freeze on re-hiring was in part a response to the Trustees for the State Colleges of Colorado's concerns that MSCD is overstaffed. "I will be looking very hard at administrative costs and overhead here. There is a feeling on the part of the trustees, with whom I met on Friday, that Metro is overstaffed and poorly managed," she said. Kaplan said she wants to make ethnic diversity a priority at MSCD. "The first thing you do is make a commitment to making it happen," she said. "Graduation rates are terrible and that shouldn't be. That was no different than Parkside, we had the situation of being a revolving door of minority students-we'd admit them and they'd be

gone by the first or second semester." Kaplan said students need support at least through their first year in college. Success is never immediate and progress doesn't begin to show for two or three years, she said. Barbara Shade, dean of education at Parkside and an African American, said she worked closely with Kaplan on several projects. "I think she tried to open the lines of communication with our students of color," Shade said. John Stockwell, Parkside's interim chancellor and vice chancellor under Kaplan, called Kaplan " a very driven administrator." Before her arrival in Denver, Kaplan wrote about 150 letters to state legislators and political and minority leaders in the Denver area, she said. She met with the Colorado State Senate and the State House of Representatives Sept. 9. She said she stressed the importance of the community's view of the college. "The people I met were very, very positive about Metro," Kaplan said. Kaplan is a native New Yorker and holds a B.A. in European history from Hunter College. She earned her Master' s in international relations at Johns Hopkins University and holds a doctorate in history from City University of New York. She taught history in higher education institutions for six years.

Student Government Representatives, MSCD Student Under Investigation Jeff Martinez STAFF WRITER

Eight Student Government representatives and an MSCD student are under investigation for alleged misconduct and misuse of student fee funds. A committee of at least four student senators and Maggie Miller, Acting Director for Student Activities, will question the nine members of the student delegation who attended the United States Student Association Conference m Los Angeles in late July, Miller Miller said. Some of the nine members are being investigated for allegedly displaying inappropriate behavior and misuse of student fee funds during the trip, she said. Miller refused to say when the committee meetings will take place and declined to name the senators who will

participate on the committee, only saying that those involved will be senators who did not go on the trip. During a Student Senate meeting Sept. 8, some Student Government members expressed interest in participating on the committee. Those members are: Elias Diggins, Megan Reyes, Sabrina Salazar, David Sneed II, Brant VerBrugge and Marshall Michael. When asked if the closed meetings were legal under Colorado's Sunshine Law for open meetings, Miller said she had yet to check. Still, she defended the secrecy surrounding the committee as necessary to accomplish their goal of resolving the issue. "What the student body wants is for student government to look at its behavior and hold itself accountable for its actions and the kind of conversations necessary for that to take place must happen in privacy," Miller said. Miller has said in the past that representatives will be questioned for alleged misconduct. Two student government representatives, former MSCD Student Government Chief Justice Lori Wolfson and former MSCD Student Senator and Treasurer Lisa Tait admitted that they did not partic-

ipate in the USSA conference which cost $5,000 in student fees. Wolfson said she went on job interviews and stayed with friends while in Los Angeles and did not attend the conference. Two other representatives, Sean Tonner and Guillermo DeHerrera, admitted to "streaking" through the hotel in their boxer shorts during one night of the conference. Three other representatives, ASMSCD Vice President Lucian Lemak, Student Trustee Matthew Bates and Sen. Michael Wempen admitted that they went to Magic Mountain during one day of the conference. While not divulging who is on the committee or when they will meet, Miller did give the steps they will take in their meetings. "The first thing will be to develop the parameters for what appropriate and inappropriate behavior will be," Miller said. "We will then interview each person and take their situation individually and as a group. We will then develop a policy to submit to student government for future travel." Lemak said he believes the issue is

trilingual and we can barely utter English." Kaplan said she believes strongly in public colleges. 'Tm the product of public higher education, I went to a school like Metro-it was a city school, a commuter campus. I got one hell of a good education. If it hadn't been for Hunter (College) I don't know where I'd be. I certainly wouldn' t be sitting here," she said.

MSCD Students Angered, Disappointed with Student Government INVESTIGATION from page 3 not as bad as it seems. "(The allegations] seem like pretty small potatoes to me," Lemak said. "Most of my constituents have been more supportive than unsupportive." But not all of Lemak's constituents agree. Some students expressed anger and

disappointment with student government. MSCD Sophomore Darci Armstrong, 20, called the actions of the delegation on the trip "baloney." "They are there for a reason, and if they can't shoulder the responsibility then they shouldn't be there. I like to party, too, but I don't agree with what they did

Brewer Receives Highest Faculty Salary Jeff Konrade-Helm THE METROPOLITAN

...

•

MSCD's former chief administrator, Thomas Brewer, has officially taken down his "President" shingle to join the ranks of the faculty as the college's highest paid professor. His first duty: take an out-of-state, year-long administrative leave to prepare for his return to the classroom while getting paid nearly his full faculty salary. While on leave, Brewer will receive $60,000 of his base salary of $65,000 per academic year. That base amount is almost $5,000 more than the next highest paid faculty member, including department chairs, and over 38 percent more than the average MSCD full-time faculty salary of $46,969, according to the college personnel roster. While Brewer was still president, the Trustees of the State Colleges in Colorado granted him the administrative leave, which began before Labor Day weekend, to allow him to make a smoother transition back into teaching. "It's not uncommon for an administrator to take a leave before going back into teaching," said Joseph Arcese, vice president for Administration and Finance at MSCD. "Especially in a case like [Brewer's] where he has been an administrator out of the classroom for so long." According to Jessica Kozloff, vice president for Academic and Student Affairs at the State College System, another recent example occurred when Houston Elam stepped-down as the system president and took a leave of absence

before picking up the chalk again in MSCD 's Marketing Department After 12 years of teaching, Brewer began his college administration career in 1971 and was hired as president of MSCD in 1988 at which time he was granted full faculty tenure by the Board-a status that current president Sheila Kaplan also has. Sandi Jones, MSCD director of Personnel and Payroll, said that Brewer's salary was reduced this year to offset the cost of hiring instructors to teach the classes Brewer would teach if he were here. Ste hen Leonard, chairman of the

History department where Brewer will begin teaching next year, does not think that salary is excessive at all. On the contrary, Leonard commented on the stature of Brewer's degree and the level of his experience and said he was "pleased to have such a highly qualified professor" join his department. Neither Kozloff nor Jones knew of any regulations requiring faculty to reside in-state. ''Those kind of restrictions only limit a college's ability to get the best person they possibly can," Kozloff said. Brewer said he intends to return to

MSCD to teach History in the fall '94 semester, but he is not sure exactly what bis status will be until that time. He said he may go on a transitional retirement at that time, where he will gradually reduce the number of classes he teaches each semester until such time be decides to retire completely. In the mean time, "I'm going to do some research in my field and I may even write a book," he said. Leonard said he has not seen it in writing, but that he assumes Brewer will begin teaching in the Fall 1994 semester.

ID System,for Campus Parking Under Consideration Scottie Menin STAFF WRITER

A campus identification system may be installed by Auraria Higher Education Center Parking Services next semester to ensure that only those connected to the Auraria Campus can use the parking lots, said Mark Gallagher, director of parking services for AHEC. "It's our expectation that it won' t cost anything to students," Gallagher said. There's a need for such a plan, he said, because once the light rail system is running, non-Aurarians may use the campus parking lots. Joseph Arcese, vice president for administration and finance, said downtown employees already using the lots

are a concern of some students. "If it gets to be a problem, we have to do something," Arcese said. Gallagher said one possibility of handling it would be a decal system, where a car sticker would be required to enter the parking lots. A decal system was in place about two years ago, Gallagher said, but it was abolished because enough parking was available and the program was costly. In the past as much as $100,000 has been spent on a decal system, he said, and students have been charged up to $3.75 each for a sticker. At this time it is anticipated that if a system is installed students will given an ID free of charge, he said. Arcese said another option is for Aurarians to have

an electronic card to enter the lots with, but that this would incur expensive equipment. He added that the decal system would also be an expensive program. Arcese, however, said he believes students will end up paying for the additional cost of an ID system with increased parking rates. "The question is, how much more is it going to cost, not only in money and time, but in hassles for people coming to campus?" he said. The Auraria Board of Directors will ultimately decide whether or not some kind of system will be installed, Gallagher said. "I think there will be a lot of discussion about the need for it," he said.

CCHE to Address Issue COMPENSATION from page 1 writes that income sources other than student fees will pay the debt service for the current student union as well as the Tivoli. Keith said students weren 't aware of this issue when the Tivoli referendum was voted on. Soker disagreed. "From my point of view, students at the time were clearly aware of the plans for the Student Union," Soker said. CCHE will be addressing the issues brought up by student leaders at their October meeting, Moore said. The policy of what student fees can be used for must be ruled on at that time or the matter will slip into the next fiscal

year, he said. Soker said she expects CCHE to approve the transaction. "There's no reason for them not to," she said. Keith said she is hoping CCHE will side with her and the task force. "I'm hoping that this is against CCHE policy," she said. 'Tm hoping that for the students." Soker said this latest debate is just one more issue to deal with until the move to the Tivoli is complete. "My frustration is that we can' t seem to get anything done on this project without going back over decisions again and again and again as the players change," Soker said. "It's very frustrating."

Dear Campus Doc by Greg Guitierret, M.D.

Dear Campus Doc, I think I may have an eating disorder. What are the signs? There are three main eating disorders: anorexia nervosa, bulimia, and compulsive overeaters. Anorexics are often thin to the point of emaciation. However, they will often still think that they are overweight. They may exercise to excess and females may lose their menstrual period. Anorexia can be life threatening in its complications.

Bulimia is a disorder where people eat large volumes of food and then induce self vomiting so they don't gain weight. Laxatives are also used which causes rapid transport of food in the form of diarrhea. Significant complications such as digestive disorders and dental problems can occur with Bulimia. Compulsive overeaters lack control when around food and use food to manage disturbing emotional states. If you think that your eating habits are getting out of hand or that food is playing too big of a role in your life, you should examine your situation a little more closely by asking yourself some

questions: Are you always concerned about your weight and body size? Do you use food to help make you feel better during stress or depression? Do you induce vomiting or use laxatives? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may have an eating disorder. You may need a physical exam as well as blood work to check the status of your health. Counseling is also available for eating disorders.

Open Meetings Statute Cited SESSION from page 1 Auraria Board member Betty Miller was quick to disagree. "The board has the authority to go into executive session to discuss any personnel matter," she said with an emphasis on the word "any." After the five board members who had authority to vote approved the executive session, Vecchio again challenged

Trimble called the meeting into recess and consulted with other board members and the assistant state attorney general assigned to the board. After a brief intermission, Trimble reconvened the meeting and announced, "We wiU not be able to go into executive session." He assured the audience that the unresolved issues would be dealt with "at the appropriate time," and then adjourned the meeting.

With the beginning of a new school year and the arrival of a new president on campus, it's time to climb onto my white horse and start sounding the trumpets again on behalf of a largely overlooked group on campus: senior citizen students. MSCD's Metro Meritus program allows persons over the age of 60 to take classes for no credit without paying tuition by obtaining a form from the Adult Learning Center and having it signed by the teacher of the desired class. Thirtyseven persons are currently enrolled in the program. After paying for their textbooks, they attend class sessions along with "regular" students, but need not take examinations, write papers or hand in class assignments. Metro Meritus is great as far as it goes, but it doesn't go far enough! It's wonderful for people who simply want to learn more about a specific subject. BUT there are a FEW senior citizens who want to use their retirement years to earn a degree and need to receive credit for their classes. For their sakes, the program needs to expand its focus and consider reducing tuition for them, establishing special scholarships for senior citizens or some other means of assistance. During fall semester 1992, 28 students over the age of 60 enrolled for credit at MSCD. Would the reduction of tuition for such a small number really cause the school or the State Treasury to file bankruptcy? CCD, whose student population is half the size of ours, currently has 24 senior citizens taking classes for credit FOR 50 PERCENT TUITION. If they can do it, why can't we? Senior citizens in America today have a larger disposable income than any other population group. The 1990 census, however, showed that 15,613 Coloradans over age 65 had an annual income of less than $5,000. These people exist at, near or under the poverty level, on Social Security and/or a small pension, possibly augmented by food stamps or other welfare programs. After paying taxes all of their adult lives, it seems fair that if they now want to get an education, they should receive help to do it. Veterans who have served their country get help in paying for their education. Why can't senior citizens receive similar help? Senior citizens can apply for student loans and other financial aid BUT these must be paid back when a student leaves school and becomes gainfully employed. Senior citizens have already spent many years in gainful employment and may be 65 or 70 years old at the time of applying for financial aid. Financial institutions might be understandably reluctant to make a long-term loan to someone who may become unable to repay it. If tuition cannot be reduced for these students, could they receive help with the cost of textbooks, or a reduction of student fees? How many senior citizens will attend sporting events or concerts paid for by student fees? Health insurance could be eliminated from the charges levied against them . The majority of them are covered by Medicare and do not need student health insurance. Here's something else to think about. A large segment of older Americans suffers from Alzheimer's disease but psychologists have found a correlation between an active mind and avoidance of this senior plague. In short, if MSCD can find a way to expand the Metro Meritus program to benefit senior citizens who want a college degree, possibly more members of society in this age group will be encouraged to expand their horizons through education and stay healthier while doing so.

LETIERS TO THE EDITOR OPINIONS INSIGHT

Anger and Frustration Fill Student Senator I had mixed feelings after I read the 9/9 issue of The Met. I must say anger was one of them . However, after my anger subsided, I was filled with an overwhelming sense of frustration . My experience as a student senator with ASMSCD has been cyclical in nature and I've grown to believe our efforts as student representatives have not been very productive - I would venture to say that the word counter-productive is more realistic. Essentially, what has occurred during my 2.5 years with ASMSCD is a fierce struggle for control and power by certain members of student government, as well as by outside special interest groups . Personal agendas have been the focus of Student Government's efforts and those who have "gotten in the way" (for reasons like wanting to work for all MSCD students) have been targeted as passivists, Nazi's and those who support and practice the white male "good 'ol boy" system of government. Interestingly, issues of honesty and integrity have never been addressed by these so-called leaders. Instead, misconduct under the direct supervision of our student body president, as well as student government's administrative adviser, was condoned by the authorization of funding the "L.A. Trip" without prior approval of the Senate through a clearly outlined ratification process. The reply was a weak whisper of an after-thought: "We'll have to just learn from our mistakes." Now, with regard to truth and the press I have further thoughts. I can not say that the intent of the reporters who covered the story (ies) on MSCD's Student Government and their behavior this summer was malicious, or indicative of reckless disregard. However, I can say that the reporting efforts by certain writers have been less than satisfactory. I know this because I was grossly misquoted in this week's issue. Had the reporter, Ms. Antoinette Vecchio, taken the time to either record our conversation , or make the necessary arrangements to accurately transcribe what I was saying (I do speak very fast). then perhaps the truth would have been told. Instead, Ms. Vecchio came to my office on Wednesday, 9/8, the day before the paper was to

come out, and asked me a myriad of questions, which I did answer. The questions were subjective in nature and seemed to be structured so as to result in only one possible answer. As a journalist, Ms. Vecchio was not seeking the truth, she was simply seeking a position of distinction as the writer with the hottest story, however distorted it may have appeared. As a parent of three sons , I am constantly aware of my kids' continual attempts to "tell on each other." I am also aware of their tendency to use name-calling as a solution to their disagreements. The only difference between my kids' behavior and that of the staff at The Met is my children don't get academic credit, nor do they get paid for their fruitless indulgences. I believe it's time we try to work together to produce departments, offices and/or groups whose goals include maintaining a certain level of honesty and integrity. (I am speaking of Student Government as well as The Met.) However, no one can solely be at fault in this matter. Would we rather hear "dirt" than expect true reporting because it's "juicy" news? I have yet to speak to anyone who is concerned over The Met's allegations of inappropriate spending of student fees and who wishes to become involved. In fact, all I've heard and witnessed is a bunch of arm-chair politicians who have the "right answer" to Student Government's problems. Perhaps this is much too idealistic, but can we spend the remainder of the year working together for the benefit of all MSCD students? Can we put our personal motives and agendas aside, perhaps using other avenues for that work, and find a way in which we can become a productive and healthy student body? It becomes quite clear to me how the atrocities world-wide can occur when I witness the animosity and hatred that thrives in the hearts and minds of many of our students regulate our student government and newspaper.

or Jeff Milich, Sunday's AIDS walk wasn't a leisurely stroll through Capitol Hill. Milich sees the AIDS crisis as an allout war and Sunday morning's walk was the next battle to be fought. "I look at this as being one battle to win," Milich said. Milich was one of almost 5,000 people who gathered in Cheesman Park on Sunday morning for AIDS Walk Colorado 1993. During opening ceremonies, politicians and ordinary citizens spoke about their concerns and reasons for participating. "It's not only important to talk the talk, but to walk the walk," said Denver Mayor Wellington Webb. Milich smiled when he saw friends and acquaintances during the walk, but his expression was somber when he spoke of people he knows who died from AIDS. "I looked through the program handed out and I saw names of people I either knew or knew of, and they're no longer with us," he said. " I' m beginning to feel losses of people in my life. It's kind of a frightening prospect to realize that those losses will continue to grow." "It gave me a lot of personal satisfaction to know that my efforts were successful," he said. The event raised $500,000 to benefit 29 Colorado AIDS service and education providers. Milich estimates that over $3,000 was raised by the Auraria group. The walk attracted people from Colorado and beyond. Families, couples and individuals walked the four mile course and each participant had a personal reason for getting involved. " We ' re part of one family , and the reality is that we are responsible for each other;' Milich said . Rick Colli er , coordinator for the Auraria Le sbian And Gay Alliance (ALAGA), also walked in Sunday' s event. " There's a human factor involved in thi s. People are dying and something needs to be done;' Collier said. Almost 200,000 Americans have died from AIDS as of June 30, 1993 according to the Federal Center for Disease Control. Steve Monaco, director of the Auraria Health Center, joined with students Sunday morning in the walk. "As director of the Health Center, I feel very dedicated to make AIDS education a real focus of our program," Monaco said. Monaco stressed that many of the risks people take aren't necessary and that behavior modifications can help reduce the spread of AIDS . Milich said, "There's a whole different attitude about the walk this year." He said the change of attitude was , " because it's a war." "There's a determination that nobody's getting veered from the course. People are very focused on doing something right now." "This is a war and we're in it for the long haul," he added. Collier agreed that people' s attitudes have been renewed. " Those people were enthusiasticand stirred up," he said after the walk. "I was impressed how many people were walking and the people were walking for so many different reasons," he said. "This isn't just a gay disease ."

eff Milich says that during his lifetime, he wouJd like to see a cure for AIDS. "I may not," he adds, "but I'm sure as hell going to fight." And fight he does. He was the coordinator and _____j captain of Auraria's ..... walk team that Jeff Milich participated last week in Colorado's largest AIDS fundraising event, From AJI Walks Of Life. But that's not all he has done. He also volunteers for the Colorado AIDS project and for years, has been a liaison between the project and the Auraria campus. Last but not least, he has been the assistant coordinator for outreach education at the Student Health Clinic for almost two years. "If you've reached one extra student it's a success," he said, of his and the health clinic's efforts to teach AIDS awareness. "The education aspect is important to me because it's the only way we're going to stop this from going any further than it already has," he said. Billi Mavromatis, staff assistant of the Student Health Clinic, said Milich is dedicated and intense. "There's a direct correlation between the depth of someone's convictions and the quality of their work; you can see that with Jeff," she said.

"If you've reached one extra student it's a success" - Jeff Milich

Auraria Walk Team Captain Milich graduated from the Culinary Institute of America in 1969 and, after working in the hospitality business for over 20 years, decided to return to school in 1990. "It's the greatest thing I've ever done for myself," he said. "College has been a growth experience for me, sometimes slowly. Right now I feel like it's moving 90 miles an hour." Milich said that after he returned to school he realized he needed to be more than just a student and get involved with various campus issues. "I believe in human rights for everyone; not just gays and lesbians," he said. "I try not to be judgmental of people, but to be accepting of who they are." Karen Thorpe, assistant vice president of student affairs, said Milich sets the standard for dedication. "His commitment to the AIDS walk was unsurpassed," she said. Milich said the walk was a great success. "It was also a time to remember those people who couldn't be there," he added. Milich, who is working on a contract major at MSCD, said he intends to work in the AIDS community when he graduates, possibly by teaching or counseling. "A higher power has guided me to be working in this community. This is where I belong," he said.

--<I] ~ MSCD

Music Teacher Plays a Unique Style of Jazz Jim Kehl STAFF WRITER

Ron Miles, a MSCD music teacher, has toured Internationally with the Duke Ellington Orchestra and Westword has awarded him for his performances.

In the music teaching studios and rehearsal rooms on the second floor of the Arts Classroom lurks a world-class jazz trumpet player and composer. Horn man Ron Miles, who teaches the jazz styles and private trumpet courses for MSCD's music department, has toured in Europe and Japan with the Duke Ellington Orchestra. He was awarded Best Jazz Artist, Best Jazz Album and Best Jazz Group by Westward. He's been recorde~ on 15 albums, two of them solos, and is planning to release his latest recording, My Cruel Heart, at the end of the year. Usually, he and his group, the Ron Miles Trio, can be found weekend nights playing at La Coupole Cafe, 2191 Arapahoe St. This Friday, however, he will be giving a concert at the Museum of Natural History Auditorium. The show is at 8 p.m. and tickets can be bought at the door for $8 ($6 for students). Miles says his music is definitely influenced by the "free jazz" style of the 1960s, but he added, "That's not necessarily what we do." He explained that free jazz was based on the lack of preset song forms apd on the collective improvisation of the performers. He said intl uences range from late

jazz greats such as Duke Ellington and Miles Davis to living popular artists like Prince and Public Enemy. People listening to his music might immediately recognize it as jazz, Miles said, but, " ... they'll be listening to it and might hear some groove and say, ' Hey, I've heard that somewhere else."' Miles said he practices three to four hours a day and usually takes only two days off a year. "I even play at the airport," he said, "As soon as we touch down I'm ready to hit it." Miles said the music program at MSCD is growing greatly and can compete with Colorado's larger schools in many ways. "I think that this is Metro's best period for producing students," Miles said, "I've learned more as a teacher than I ever have as a student." Several people have asked him why he doesn't move to New York or Los Angeles. "I like living here," he said. He said musicians move to New York to be a protege of a particular style. Nobody plays his style anywhere, he said. As far as his future is concerned, Miles said he hopes to do more traveling, especially to play his music. "And to get better," he added, "That's always a big thing for me."

Coulter said accesss to employers will be the most important thing for students. "Students can learn what's going on in the real world," she said, "In an educational setting, we may not know what employers really want." Tamara Evans, human resources assistant for Centennial Engineering Inc., said her goal was to inform students about the experience and education required for real-world job positions. Evans said representatives from Centennial' s civil engineering and accounting departments will be at the event. To make the event more festive, radio station KZDG will be broadcasting from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the plaza in front on the Student Union, she said. Career Exploration Day is good for students who haven't decided on a career or a major, Coulter said, "Students with the initiative can go up to an employer and ask about a career."

'Little Jo' Explores Gender in the Old West Robyn Schwartz COPY EDITOR

"The Ballad of Little Jo" is movie with vicarious fulfillment for women who as little girls imagined themselves as the cowboys or Indians, instead of their gender-assigned playroles of damsels-indistress or submissive squaws. Josephine Monaghan (Suzy Amis) didn't grow up longing for the filth and toil of open plains or the smell of stupid sheep. But after bearing an illegitimate child, her well-to-do father disowns her. Unsure if she can support herself, let alone a child, Josephine leaves her son with her sister and sets out on foot to seek her own fortune. She soon discovers that traveling alone in the Old West is more hazardous than she had expected and decides to pose as a man. Josephine cuts her 楼ll"路 dons the trappings of a cowboy and for good measure, cuts a gash across one cheek. Transformed, Jo Monaghan settles in the mining community of Ruby City. She attempts gold mining, but finds the work too arduous for her slim frame. However, "Little Jo" as the town soon nicknames her, proves herself as a livery stable hand, a sheepherder and eventually a rancher. Jo disciplines herself to be rude and straightfaced, to make sure her secret isn't discovered. Mostly she succeeds, although the residents of Ruby City think Little Jo is a bit reticent and suspiciously disinterested in sex. The film is an imaginative journey based on a real woman. The story ends

when Little Jo's death reveals her gender to a shocked and amused Ruby City. "The Ballad of Little Jo" is realistic in its portrayal of the Old West's brutality, but not as a study of its nearly impossible demands. We see brief examples of isolated hardships, but we rarely see Jo fail. Building a house , for example, seems to be something she masters with ease. Also, she blossoms a little too smoothly into a freespirited woman in her home life with Tinman. " Little Jo" is a delicate epic about Jo (Suzy Amis) and Tinman (David Chung) share courage that transcends a private moment In 'The Ballad of Little Jo.' gender. It is a coup for women whose dreams of equality have but a symbolic framework reflecting always been tempered , even in their deeper concepts than are shown. Many of imaginations, by cultural standards. It's the minor characters' Ii ves are left not that ranchers ' wives were not hanging, but that is something isolated courageous, it' s just that they were never westerners encountered often. Amis' performance is remarkable, if allowed to prove themselves in any way outside the guidelines of society's deliberately stoical. Jo is not a paragon of expectations. Little Jo lives that life in a manliness, but her masculinity develops way never seen before in cross-dressing gradually and credibly from stiff selfplots. Amis is as good and convincing as a consciousness to someone more comforman as she is as a woman. What table with her role as a man than she was characterizes Jo is not her gender, but her with the societal expectations of a woman. "The Ballad of Little Jo," produced singularity as a person. Like most westerns, "The Ballad of by Fine Line Features, is playing at the Little Jo" does not have an intricate plot, Chez Artiste Theatre.

SPORTS Volleyball Back Fro01 Missouri Undefeated, Ranked 7th Kristin Sauls SPORTS EDITOR

The women's volleyball team returns from Missouri with three more wins and a 4-0 record. On Sept. l 0-11, the volleyball team played in a tournament at the University of Missouri-St. Louis and challenged three teams, bringing home victories and a new ranking of seventh place, moving up from eighth. The Roadrunners played their first match against the University of NebraskaOmaha, which ranked 17th. Coach Rhonda McMullen said Omaha is a strong team this year because none of last year's players have graduated. Their second matchup was with UMSt. Louis. The Roadrunners beat them in three straight games, 15-9, 15-4 and 1513. The Roadrunners also won three straight games with their second matchup, UM-St. Louis, scoring 15-9, 15-9 and 154. Missouri played Adams State just before playing MSCD and did not play well, McMullen said. Texas Women's University was the third victim of MSCD's killer

Roadrunners. Again, three easy matches, scoring 15-6, 15-4 and 15-10. Texas was not ranked nationally, but received votes and would be in the top 30 if the rankings went that far, McMullen said. The last team to take a beating from MSCD was Angelo State. The Roadrunners took them 15-8, 15-4 and 15-6. "They [Angelo State] lost to everyone except Mesa State and that match they lost in three games also ," McMullen said. Three MSCD players were voted to the All-toumaThompson ment team: Tracy Thompson, Wynema Hunter and Lora Houdek. "We played really well. We killed everyone," Thompson said. "We didn't play to our potential still. The whole team played together, but we have a long way to go," Hunter said. Crissy Canada and Chelsea Terrell received votes, but did not get enough to

be named to the All-Tournament team. Canada had the second best statistics for the tournament from MSCD's team, but McMullen said: "She just wasn't as dominating as she usually is." Friday at 7 p.m. the volleyball team plays the University of Denver, at DU . Commenting on DU's team, Hunter McMullen said they are struggling, but they did not lose any women from last year's team, and " they always play us tough." The volleyball's team home opener is this Saturday at 7 p.m., against the Houdek University of Northern Colorado. It is their first official

Colorado Area Conference match. UNC is ranked fourth nationally. Students are invited to come out, cheer and push the Roadrunners to live up to their ranking. MSCD students get in free to all MSCD athletic events.

"We wanted to bring back Rosie and give more speed and technical ability to the outside," Montojo said, adding, "this would allow the forwards to come from behind and score." Freshman goalie, Chellie Mccourt, said the new defense was key to winning th.e game.

The MSCD varsity women's soccer team had never won against Cal-Poly Pamona until Saturday when they walked away with a 2-0 victory. The Roadrunners (1-1) dominated the field throughout the game and left the Cal-Poly Broncos scoreless. Chrissy McCain was the first to score for MSCD. She kicked her goal mid-way through the first half of the game. The Roadrunner junior nailed a straight shot from the midfield mark, leaving Cal-Poly stunned. "There was a lot of movement on the right side. I switched to the left and the outside was open for the shot." McCain said. The final goal of the game was scored by Melissa Villani, a sophomore.

The men's soccer team played a tough game against Cal-Poly Pamona, but MSCD is still recordless. The 0-0-2 men's Roadrunhers once again hit overtime play only to prolong the inevitable, second tie in a row. "I'm happy with the improvement from a week ago as far as team chemistry goes," Coach Al Ashton said. The match was not without action. Billy Kawamura scored the first goal in regulation play. The assist is credited to

Robert Seymour. MSCD's goalie, Andy Mosier, had 20 saves during the match on Saturday afternoon. Ashton said: "This is a relatively young and new team. They are just getting used to each other." Greg Oakley, Richard Hitzeman and Nat Cooke played really strong defense, Ashton said, commenting on the almost goaless match. MSCD dominated the match. The Roadrunners had 12 comer kicks for their advantage, while the Pamona Broncos had only four.

"The constant positive thing for us was the solid performance from the defense," Ashton said. The next match is in Colorado Springs vs. the Air Force Academy on Sept. 19, at 2 p.m.
