AHEC Schedules Sunrise on Ca01pus Class in Current Student Union Antoinette Vecchio NEWS EDITOR

t:.

Because of a lack of space on campus, one MSCD class has been moved six times since the beginning of the fall semester and is now being taught in the Student Union.

Human Services 333 , Ethical and Professional Issues in Human Services, has moved from TE 116 to AR 287 to WC 151.l to SU 252 to the Zenith room on the sixth floor of the Tivoli Union and back to SU 252 where it is scheduled to remain until Dec. 14, said Debora Rojas, administrative assistant for Human Services.

However, according to the Auraria Student Center Guide published in 1987, "assignable Student Center facilities may not be used for institutionally funded or sponsored classes."

Rojas said she did not know of such a policy.

"No one told me that they couldn't do that," she said.

There were scheduling conflicts in all of the other classrooms, Rojas said, and Facilities Planning and Use for the Auraria Higher Education Center said there was no space available for the class to use.

"They wanted us [the department] to change the date and time of the class ... but we did not want to change," she said.

The class meets Tuesdays 4 to 4:50 p.m., which is in conflict with many of the classes held that day. Most classes begin at 3:30.

"Classroom Scheduling stated that they could not find us a classroom, therefore we could use the room in the Student Union if Conference Services would allow us to do so," Rojas said.

Andy Chitwood, interim director of Facilities Planning and Use said he was unaware a class was being conducted in the Student Union, but did say it has happened in the past.

"This is not a rampant practice, but it's not the first time it has happened," he said.

The Student Union is to be used for classroom space only as a "last-ditch option," Chitwood said.

He said the practice had the approval of Emerson Holliday, former director of Student Services, and Ginny Feagler, former director of Facilities Planning and Use. "The Student Union has, for the past couple of years, with permission of Emerson Holliday, when push came to shove... ," used the Student Union for academic

classes, Chitwood said.

Holliday said the practice happened "from time to time" when there was no more classroom space, but it lasted no more than four weeks until other space became available.

"I can't recall anything going for an entire semester," he said.

Kersten Keith , MSCD representative for the

Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board, said she can understand using the space within the first three weeks of classes, but having a class in the Student Union for an entire semester is another issue and needs the approval of the Student Union Advisory Board.

"It is improper," Keith said. ''They [AHEC] once again are not following the procedure that has been laid

Comedian Ellen DeGeneres' perfonnance at Auraria Thursday was no laughing matter, according to some Coloradans.

Two protesters picketed in front of the Auraria Events Center as people lined up to see DeGeneres perfonn.

said Terry Schleder, president,of Boycott Colorado, Inc. The boycott is aimed at repealing Colorado's Amendment 2 and urges celebrities, corporations and organizations to keep their money out of Colorado.

Amendment 2 makes it illegal for Colorado residents to seek recourse for discrimination on the basis of homosexual, lesbian or bisexual orientation.

and lesbians," Schlecter said.

The only way to change attitudes toward gays and lesbians is to educate people, she said.

"The only reason voters are getting an education on gay and lesbian rights is by reading a headline that says a celebrity is canceling a performance in Colorado," Schleder said.

Although DeGeneres has not made public her sexual orientation, Schleder said she has reason to believe DeGeneres is a lesbian and is therefore "crossing her own picket line."

"If a lesbian can cross her own picket line, how can we expect anyone else to take our civil rights movement seriously?" Schleder said. "We want her to come out of the closet."

Schleder denied that demanding individuals to announce their sexual orientation is a violation of personal rights.

"Sexual orientation in Colorado is very much a political position. The legislation [Amendment 2] makes personal rights very political," she said.

Kersten Keith, chairwoman of the Metro Activities Council, which sponsored the event, said DeGeneres ' sexual orientation was irrelevant to her.

Student Activities just wanted to bring "a little joy" to campus and noted that DeGeneres spent no money to perform here, Keith said. Student Activities paid for advertising and expenses for DeGeneres' visit to Colorado, she said.

"Ellen is wonderful to work with. Of all the people we [Student Activities] have brought to campus, she's been the best. She's a warm, wonderful, funny person," Keith said.

Sue Anderson, coordinator of MSCD' Gay Lesbian and Bisexual Student Services, said the boycott is a complicated issue that cannot be fully represented by one small protest.

"I think it's a little simplistic to attack a perfonner for coming to Colorado. The issue is far more complicated than that," Anderson said.

The boycott keeps the issue in the press, it motivates legislators and local businesses to deal more quickly with see PROTEST page 4

Holliday Files Suit Victor Anthony THE METROPOLITAN

Claiming his race played a part in being fired from his position at Auraria, a former Auraria Higher Education Center administrator has filed charges with the Colorado Civil Rights Division.

Emerson Holliday, formerly the division director of Student Services for AHEC, was fired July 28 by JoAnn Soker, executive vice president for Administration.

"There is no doubt in my mind that if I were not an African American male, the injustices that I had to endure over the past two years would not have occurred," Holliday said.

His dismissal was handled very disrespectfully, he said.

"The timing, the short notice and the way my staff was notified before me were professionally insulting," he said. "I was not even provided with an exit interview."

Holliday said he couldn't discuss details of his charges because an investi-

gation is pending. He referred questions to his attorney, Glenn Younger.

"With Emerson working for AHEC for five years and having such an outstanding record, it's really suspect to why he would be discharged. And that's what has to really be looked into," Younger said.

Younger declined to outline the charges specifically, but said there are a number of issues involved in the charges that deal with Holliday's race.

"He has some evidence that he's been treated differently than any of the other managers," he said.

The charges prompted an investigation, the outcome of which will determine whether a settlement or a lawsuit is in order, Younger said.

Younger pointed to Soker as being at the source of his client's problems.

"Probably all the issues stem from the time of when JoAnn Soker became the vice president," he said.

Saker has been in her current see HOLLIDAY page 4

Opponents Doubt-Effectiveness of Colorado Boycott PROTEST from page 3 gay and lesbian issues and that it makes other states think twice about enacting legislation similar to Amendment 2, she said.

However, she said the boycott was badly organized and that it isolates the gay and lesbian community from the heterosexual community. She said it also isolates

Denver's gay and lesbian community from other gay and lesbian communities.

Anderson said she believes Degeneres supports gay, lesbian and bisexual rights and Anderson therefore questions the protesters' attack on her.

"Is this a good standpoint, attacking an ally?" she said.

Schleder said she has nothing against Degeneres as

an individual. "She's one of my favorite performers. I'd rather be in there than standing out in the cold with a sign," she said.

MSCD senior Kathy Corbett, a member of the gay and lesbian community, said she does not believe in outing celebrities unless they have done something specifically to damage gays and lesbians.

"I thought it was a terrific concert and I don't feel one bit guilty. I think the majority of gays and lesbians in town are not in support of the boycott," she said. "If the boycott has hurt anybody, it's hurt gay and lesbian businesses."

Audience member Donna Abernathy, who identified herself as a lesbian, also disagreed with the protest.

"She [Schlecter] does not represent what I feel is the gay community....Some of her tactics have been hypocritical to letting people live their lives the way they want to live them," she said. Abernathy said she disagrees with the boycott but supports the repeal of Amendment 2.

On July 19, the Colorado State Supreme Court said Amendment 2 appeared to be unconstitutional and that it could not be implemented until Denver District Court Judge Jeff Bayless, who initially blocked the legislation in January 1993 , determines whether it is constitutionally legal. That trial is scheduled for Oct.12.

HOLLIDAY from page 3 position for almost three years.

Soker was unwilling to disclose specifics as to why Holliday was fired .

Soker said she stands by her decision and feels that a public discussion about her reasons may not be in the best interest of Holliday.

"There was good cause for Emerson's termination, but l think it's unfair to him for people to ask me to discuss that," she said.

Younger said the investigation will reveal more than bis client's charges.

"I think by him filing a charge like that and causing an investigation, well, the whole environment at AHEC is going to be looked at," he said. "It'll be looked at more close) y."

Soker denied that race had anything to do with her decision and said she resents people who are unfamiliar with the circumstances accusing her of discrimination.

"I really find it reprehensible for people to impugn my personal and professional reputation when they have no knowledge of the facts," she said.

In an article in the Aug. 20 issue of The Metropolitan, Kersten Keith, student representative to the Auraria Board of Directors, was quoted as saying she suspected "racial issues" motivated the decision to terminate Holliday.

In a letter Sept. 7, Soker asked Keith to "cease making these unfounded allegations immediately."

Keith said she believes her comments were taken out of context.

"I do not have personal experience with JoAnn Soker being racist or discriminating," she said. "I do have experience with AHEC as a whole not being aware of ethnic and minority issues, or being unconscious maybe of what they are doing."

However, Dean Wolf, vice president of Operations for AHEC, said payment is the responsibility of the academic department.

"Human Services will have to pay for the space," he said.

Wolf said he is concerned about using Student Union space for academic purposes.

"It's really contrary to the purpose of the meeting rooms to have regularly scheduled classes in there," he said.

Wolf said he will ask Facilities Planning and Use to see if there is any

other space available for the class.

Steven Kaye, instructor for the course, said it is· difficult to teach the class because he is not sure where the class will meet from week to week.

"I think it's unfair to the students that the class can't get off the ground and build momentum," he said.

He said he had to call the department a half hour before the class was to meet to find out where the class was going to be held.

Every week someone in the Human Services department called all the students to tell them where the class was for that week, Rojas said.

Keith said Wolf contacted her about the class being in the Student Union Wednesday and said he told her he was unaware of the situation.

"Dean said he did not know this was happ~ning until today," she said.

Keith, however, said she believes The Metropolitan/Chas Gordon someone had to know about it.

These will be looked into before the next meeting and discussed again.

• A request was made for more thorough breakdowns on all the budgets, and these should be provided by the next meeting.

• TPC members discussed at length concerns about having one retailer in the space vacated by Club Infinity, as it will constitutes 60 percent of the revenue income for the Tivoli. It was questioned whether the space should be leased to numerous retailers instead, to lessen the chance of a huge loss of income if it is only leased to one retailer and they leave the space. The matter will be discussed further at the next meeting.

• Professional Food-service Management Services (PFM) is still behind schedule, and there is no update because the documents concerning the Tivoli were lost when a PFM employee's baggage was lost on an airline flight.

Student Senate Meeting Sept. 22, I 993 The following appointments were made

by ASMSCD President Barb Ferrill and ratified by Student Senate: • Candy Griswold to the Food Service Advisory Committee.

• Gerald Banes to the Judicial Board.

• TPC members discussed Frank's Express leaving its space in the Tivoli.

• TPC announced that two temporary leases may have been signed with other retailers without consent of TPC. It will be looked at before the next meeting and discussed again then.

• Alex Kim, representing his parents, the owners of Mandarin Cottage in the Tivoli, expressed concern and frustration over how long it is taking to find out if his family can re-lease a space in the Tivoli. Lengthy discussion followed and a motion was passed to discuss and negotiate a temporary lease for Mandarin Cottage.

• TPC members discussed a press conference scheduled for Oct. 4, which will give companies a chance to submit bids for space in the Tivoli. There was some concern from TPC members because this was the first time they had heard of the press conference.

The next Tivoli Planning Committee meeting will take place on Oct. 11 at noon.

Dear Metro Connections, I am a freshmen student and I am wondering if I am a total "spaz." I look around me and it seems like all the other students in my classes are so organized, like they know what they are doing, where they are going, where all of their classes are, haue all of their financial aid squared away, ask lots of questions in class, and euen do all of their reading assignments! Am I the only one who is so stressed? I wonder if I will euer make it through, or if I euen want a degree anymore.

Signed, Overwhelmed Dear Overwhelmed, You are not alone. Even though most freshmen may appear to have it all together, most of them are as overwhelmed as you are. During the first semester, it is quite common for freshmen to feel isolated .... like no one else is having problems adjusting.

Yet, as freshmen, you have to make many decisions that you have never had to make previously, such as which class to take, when and how to study, and where does school and studies fit into your priorities. Additionally, freshmen have to make some kind of career decision. They have to learn how to manage money and even have to decide where their friends fit into the "college" lifestyle. And, it is at this time that freshman become super critical of themselves and put more pressure on themselves to perform in class.

So. what can you do? First of all, try to relax. Find out what is causing you the most stress, and make out a plan to help things get better. People feel overwhelmed because they feel like they have no control over the situation. One suggestion is to talk to other students and you will soon realize that you are not alone. Ask others what they do to study. Secondly, if homework is one thing that concerns you, set aside a study time for yourself each day. Find a place where you will not be disturbed. And, then, stop studying when you feel like you are accomplishing something. That way, you will feel like going back and studying the next time. And, after you have studied, reward yourself by getting away from it all. Go for a walk, call a friend, go get an ice cream cone, or do some sort of exercise, for example.

Remember, your concerns are very common for college freshman. Hang in there.

The first semester will be over before you know it. And you'll survive it.

Contrary to some claims, the campaign to make diversity a part of the curriculum is advancing steadily at MSCD. To continue to fight for the inclusion of non-traditional perspectives is laudable. But to continue blindly insisting that little change toward these desirable ends has been made is irrationality on stilts.

Literature courses, those traditional bastions of white maleness, are prime examples of changing attitudes. New texts are filled with the works of diversity including those of Tillie Olsen (a Socialist woman), Sylvia Plath (a lesbian), Chief Joseph (a Native American) and Alice Walker (an African American) to name but a few. Today's texts also contain the perspectives of Asian and Polynesian folk tales, African and native Australian stories and myths, Lakota Ghost Dance chants, Inuit fables, and Mexican Corridos.

MSCD and its faculty bend over backward for diversity. But how far should it go? One professor aware of increasingly strident demands, could only stand mute in the face of an African American student's wildly inaccurate claim that Islam predates Christianity. A widely-used psychology text lists psychiatrists notable for their methodological contributions to that field . Included therein, a black woman cited as the first black female psychiatrist.

How does this accomplishment relate to the history of the science? If this highly intelligent and suecessful individual made some substantive contribution to psychiatry, why isn't that fact mentioned? If not, why is she mentioned at all in that particular context?

Should the hard sciences also include diversity? Should Hindu and Maori cosmologies be taught alongside physics? Is the Chinese abacus equivalent to the computer? Ecology texts now instruct students that the ''traditional" farming methods of such peoples as pre-industrial Asians and the Maya are preferable to modern (Western) agriculture. The text ignores the fact that such labor-intensive agriculture systems necessitate nearly the entire population's direct involvement in food production. This leaves scant time for such occupations as writing text books.

There are those who insist upon applying today's enlightened sensibilities to history, dismissing as valueless those works and ideologies that fail to meet their modern litmus test for racial, gender and cultural sensitivity. This campaign would discard from the canons of learning perspectives, ideologies and philosophies, which pre-date the laudable ideals (if not the applications, certainly) of contemporary multicultural egalitarianism. But shouldn't this list of discards also then include such things as the Koran, the Hindu Vedas and the Emancipation Proclamation? None of these works inclusively considered for a moment the sensibilities of say, Polynesians, sub-Saharan Africans or the Hmong, after all.

True, the domination Western culture enjoys has encouraged the repression and suppression of other cultures. But the cure is not to be found in attempts to repress Western culture and oppress the guiltless as some cultural demagogues are demanding. This is only a recipe for the kind of backlash we're already seeing with the increasing acceptance of neo-Nazi and other repugnant ideologies. Making the sons pay for the sins of the fathers will only succeed in widening the gaps that separate us. What's past is past. It's time to look to a new and truly inclusive future.

White Majority Gets It All Argue the Facts When It Comes To Racism

By Joe Navarro What gives Chicanos, African-Americans, Native-Americans and Asians the right to complain about racism and discrimination? I've heard this question asked by Anglo-Americans who feel that their standard of living is declining.

It's as though they've never heard of slavery, conquest, colonial exploitation, national oppression or imperialism. Perhaps they're too ignorant to make the connection between a history of brutality and oppression with the current social relations between nationalities that exist. It would stand to reason (at least to a logical person) that a society that has developed a double standard of economic, social and political justice based on nationality, race, language, religion, gender and sexual preference would cause inequality.

Some Anglo-Americans believe that everything is equal now because of the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and that all of the injustices have been corrected. Some even suggest that white people, especially men, are victims of discrimination, due to affirmative action programs that keep them from advancing solely on the basis of race.

That's interesting. I've seen numerous news • . reports that Chicanos, Latinos, African-Americans and Native-Americans still live in sub-standard housing, have the highest unemployment rates, most don't have health care insurance, most are working poor in low-paying jobs, most receive substandard education and are under-represented in colleges and universities. The justice system has a double standard of judging people, giving harsher sentences to African-Americans, Chicanos, Latinos, Asians and Native-Americans. People of color traveling in predominantly Anglo-American neighborhoods are treated with great suspicion.

Anglo-Americans, especially males, own 70 to 80 percent of the nation's wealth . They have high representation in colleges and universities. They are highly represented in corporate positions They are overwhelmingly represented in elected and appointed government positions. They are the major policy decision makers in this nation. They still hold on to the best jobs with the best pay and conditions. The majority of them have health care insurance.

I hope that someone can rationally explain to me how people in the sector of society that has the most power, has the greatest access to employment and education and has the greatest access to

democracy are victims.

Please, no more "tricknology" (Malcolm X's reference to double talk). I'm tired of hearing that minorities shouldn't complain about the lack of culturally relevant books in the library because the library is missing other types of books as well. I'm tired of hearing that minorities shouldn't be promoting "political correctness" by objecting to racist history and literature and demanding culturally relevant teaching.

People should argue over facts and not myths.

Use correct data and not biased data. For example, a popular myth is that people of color are a burden to society because the majority of them are on welfare. The fact is that Anglo-American mothers and their children are the largest numbers of welfare recipients. How about the myth that AffirmativeAction makes the issue of "race" the deciding factor? In actuality, when there is no Affirmative Action program the issue of race is a factor, because when everything else is equal among employment candidates and potential university students "white" becomes the deciding factor. Affirmative Action is designed to eliminate the factor of "white" racism.

This is precisely why people like myself protest and complain at this college. I am tired of the double standard in the treatment of people based on race and racism. Metropolitan State College of Denver is seated in the middle of two Chicano neighborhoods and walking distance from an African-American neighborhood, but those people don't attend school here. The representatiOf. of Native-Americans and As~ans is pitiful. Now that the college has (reluctantly and under pressure) made a greater effort to recruit them, they are unable to retain them. Most don't make it to a second semester.

The majority of students here are predominantly Anglo-American, close to 80 percent. In one report that I've seen on financial aid AngloAmericans receive more than 80 percent of the financial aid. They have more scholarship opportunities. The curriculum is designed for them. The majority of administrators, faculty and staff are Anglo-Americans and mostly males.

If they feel victimized and don't feel like they are getting enough, then what is enough? Is 85% enough? Is 90% enough? Is 99% enough? Do they want 100%? What is enough, so they won't feel victimized?

Our intrepid hero (well ... hero may be too strong a word. Let's call him the object of our ridicule) has until recently been involved in a relationship with a girl who is definitely a couple of cans short of a sixpack (she will remain nameless to protect the author from greivous bodily harm). She moved to Connecticut under the pretense of attending college, and he told her that he would wait for her to come back, his mind obviously overcome with ridiculous notions of undying love or some similar foolishness.

Soon after she left, he met another girl (who will also remain nameless, for similar reasons), who has all the cans, but is missing the plastic ring that holds it all together. At least now he's being tormented in new and interesting ways.

His question: "Is it just that I only attract raving psychotics who are very good at hiding it for the first month or so, or is there something about me that automatically sends all the women I date off the deep end?"

His solution: Vodka, and lots of it.

Why on this campus do we have several minority groups all crying about diversity and not one promoting it? These groups are not promoting diversity by separating themselves from each other.

I find it ridiculous that Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Azlan, Metropolitan American Indian Students for Equality, the Black Student Alliance and Sisters In Support of Change can't form one group to fight for the one thing they all want: fair and equal treatment.

The Revolutionary Alliance is the only group I have heard of that is somewhat diverse when it comes to membership. Students from almost every minority group on campus are members of the Revolutionary Alliance. The BSA is working towards a more diverse membership, and I can see that.

Members of some of the other groups on campus can't even agree among themselves whether or not they want to be associated with the Revolutionary Alliance or any other group.

Members of one group argued for more than an hour last week about one simple word in The Metropolitan. Some members felt that they were being grouped together with the Revolutionary Alliance and did not like the image that the

The Revolutionary Alliance is the only group I have heard of that is somewhat diverse when it comes to membership.

The Revolutionary Alliance, just by its name, brings images of radicals and many people don't like that. Well it has been proven over the years that being a radical is not always a bad thing.

Malcolm X was a radical, and he made some great advancements for the black community.

When will we get it together and work as a joined force? The voice of one, strong and multicultural group will be louder than that of several small groups.

We all need to look at what we are fighting for.

If MEChA is fighting for one thing and BSA for another, then maybe the individual groups are what should be. But I think all minorities are fighting and striving for the same goals.

I know that when it comes down to it, I would rather be a member of a group that is working toward diversity and shows it in its membership instead of a group that is promoting segregation by its membership. Revolutionary Alliance send me an application, please.

SinaP.u ChaP.ter Neeaed For Wolf Reintroduction Sinapu is the Ute word for wolves. It is also the name of an organization in Colorado dedicated to seeing the wolf reintroduced into Colorado. I was thinking if enough students were interested in forming a chapter of Sinapu at Metropolitan State College, it would be a positive step in wolf reintroduction.

Indeed there is ample room for wolves in the San Juan Wilderness are, the Flattops Wilderness area and the Rocky Mountain National Park and its surrounding wilderness areas. Space is not a problem. Politics is the problem. There is much a student chapter could do to help overcome this.

.Multiculturalism And Diversity Alive and Well I'm confused. A lot of people would say that's to be expected. I'm blonde, after all. And while I'll admit that lots of things confuse me, the real biggie lately is this whole multiculturalism thing.

It seems like every time I turn around, someone is telling me that there's no recognition of diversity at MSCD. Whenever someone says that, my gut reaction is: 'huh? What planet do you live on?' What actually happens of course, is that I nod my head in vigorous, politically correct agreement.

What really bugs me is that like some thundering herd of one-trick ponies, so many people are dashing about loudly parroting these sentiments. And it just isn't true.

The reality is that MSCD is rapidly immersing itself in multiculturalism

and diversity in both curricula and the to name. campus community at large . In my Now, don't get me wrong .

When that sort of thing happens overnight, it usually involves a lot of bloodshed and the renaming of countries with catchy phrases like "People's Democratic Republic."

Keep up the good work, I say. But don't be stupid about it. It may take a little longer, but the easiest way to move a mountain is one grain at a time. A method that also causes the least environmental damage.

Once again we are presented with an article lambasting Christians. In Patricia Sydney Straub's editorial (August 20), she bitterly scorns Christians who, in her words, "are still waging holy wars and spreading terror in the name of God ... ". I'm sure that Bill McCartney and Randall Terry would not agree with this accusation. They, like many other leaders in this country, have strong beliefs and convictions that they are willing to stand up for. Their stands just happen to be ones that the liberal left can't tolerate.

Straub states that these two men "can't resist dominating people's thoughts and choices." No one can dominate someone's thoughts and choices without a willing ear. Ms. Straub evidently has accepted the sterotypic "Jim Jones" image of Christains as dumb, mindless sheep being led astray by a fool or a fanatic. She is a part of the enlightened liberal faction who "know the truth" and are using this era of "free minds and free thinking" to spread the good news.

Straub's idea of God "is peaceful, merciful, forgiving." Yes, He is that. "One that loves, unconditionally." Yes, He is that as well. "One that doesn't judge or condemn, and cerainly one that doesn't teach to devote oneself to destroying the rights of others." Well, now. God is our judge. He condemns sin . But that's not the whole story. He gives us FREE CHOICE and His FREE GIFT of grace. We just have to deal with the consequences of our

choices. That's the problem. No one wants consequences anymore because they restrict their choices.

Don't be duped by Straub's hostile, liberal cliches. She is adhering to the politically correct and acceptable practice of bashing Christians. We are to blame for all the ills and injustices in the world and will forever pay in her eyes and those like her.

If McCartney was advocating homosexuality rather than discouraging it, we would hear cheering in the streets and in the media. Randall Terry firmly believes that abortion is murder. Wouldn't anyone fight like he has in a battle they believed to be one of life or death? Because there are some sick, misdirected people killing abortionists, he is scorned and blamed. Christians are the popular political scapegoats. We've so long been doormats, lying there and taking it, that now it is taken as a threat when we stand up for our beliefs.

Christians, like anyone else, have the freedom to express themselves. And, unfortunately, we many times get in the way of God so that people can't see who He really is. That, as Christians, is our biggest challenge. But please, don't judge us all as a group. Just as you would treat someone else as an individual, treat us as individuals also.

"Celebrate Diversity!" includes us, too.

Janis E. Viren MSCD Senior

Misconduct Is Not The Purpose Of Most MSCD Student Travelers As distressing as the allegations of misconduct on the part of student travelers may be (reported in the August 27 issue of The Metropolitan) , I think we should remember that MSCD sends many students to academic and professional conferences each year who take full advantage of the opportunity presented to them.

One case in point: I accompanied seven students to the National Undergraduate Literature Conference last April. This trip was funded jointly by Student Activities and the Office of Provost. Each of these students read a paper that had been selected in a blind competition - about half of the work submitted is accepted - and each did a very fine job. The students also supported each other by attending each session in which another MSCD students participated. One proof of the quality of these presentations is the fact that one of them, Eileen

Capelle's essay on fathers and daughters in Shakespeare, was subsequently accepted for publication in The Rectangle, the international journal of Sigma Tau Delta, the English undergraduate honor society. The conference also gave the students the opportunity to compare their work with the best work of other undergraduates from across the country and to hear presentations by professional writers, such as E.L. Docterow.

I hope that MSCD Student Activities will continue to support student travel for those who will benefit from it.

Comedian Ellen DeGeneres Performs at Auraria Deadpan Comic Style Builds Suspense, Sends Audience into Hysteria Robyn Schwartz COPY EDITOR

The Metropolitan/Chas Gordon

Comedian Ellen DeGeneres performs to an audience of more than 1, 100 at the Auraria Events Center on Sept. 23.

Comedian Ellen DeGeneres, who will be starring in and writing for the show "These Friends of Mine" this fall, performed almost two hours of stand-up hilarity for 1,100 Denverites at the Auraria Events Center Sept. 23.

"I just got back from a vacation in Montana. I love Montana. Beautiful state.

Has anybody here ever been to Montana?"

She pauses for an audience reaction and people clap.

"Oh, it's Maine. It was Maine, sorry."

DeGeneres' style is to build suspense in the audience. She also makes references to jokes she used earlier in the act.

One running gag was the club soda joke.

It started in a series of airline jokes: She said the first thing they teach flight attendants in flight attendant school is that club soda is "a miracle thing."

Passenger: "Miss, [ have an upset stomach."

Flight Attendant: "Club soda will fix that, be right back."

P: "Miss, I spilled something on my pants.''

F.A.: "Club soda will get that out, be right back."

P: "Miss, the wing is on fire."

F.A.: ''Club soda! Be right back."

Club ,soda came up later while she was talking about therapeutic mud baths: "They always want you to be naked to get rid of stress, did you ever notice that? I hate that, I never know what to do with my hands."

She says the mud baths contain $40 mud that has peat moss in it.

Although she was "hosed down " afterward, she says mud stays in the funniest places. ¡'Weeks later, you' re back at the office." She pretends she is typing, starts wiggling around and has an embarrassed look on her face.

"Betty. I feel peat moss. Get the hose

out." She pauses. "Well then, just get me some club soda."

She is mostly a deadpan comedian who almost always keeps a straight face.

She has been called a "female Jerry Seinfeld" and "the spiritual progeny of Bob Newhart." In a phone interview with The Metropolitan a few weeks ago, she named Newhart as one of her few comedic role models. She writes all her own material for her stand-up routine.

She said she does not understand why people put animal heads on their walls.

"Why would you be proud of that? At least you ought to put ~omething up that you 're proud of killing because you hate it - Like a burglar.''

She said some people say they put up the heads because they are beautiful.

"Well, I think my mom's attractive, but I have PICTURES of her." Then she turns around as if looking at a wall, "Hi. Mom!" She turns back to the audience.

"Mom had great legs, too. They're in the next room, wanna see 'em?"

She coverpd themes like hunting, cats in heat , fishing, a fish's life in an aquarium and frog-licking, as well as nonanimal humor about her parents and songs of the '70s.

"I can't believe some of the lyrics in those songs," she said, "Remember 'Jeremiah was a Bullfrog?' ' Jeremiah was a bullfrog , he was a good friend of mine.. .' Oh yeah," she says sarcastically, "like we all had friends who were frogs and you rarely saw a frog without a bottle of wine. We weren't on drugs back then, were we?"

The pure essence of her humor and her modest but effective gestures will make for good sitcom material. "These Friends of Mine" will be a mid-season replacement for one of many new shows that will inevitably fail before the end of this season.

Ellen DeGeneres' performance was sponsored by MSCD Student Activities and Denver radio station KZGD Big Dog.

Tutoring Center Already Busy, Crunch Just Beginning Lisa Perry THE METROPOLITAN

Jennifer Jackson said she ordered 550 student appointment forms for the Tutoring Center this semester.

The center has already used them au.

Jackson, coordinator of the Tutoring Center, estimates more than 75 students seek help from the program every day.

And the crunch is just beginning. As the semester continues and major tests are coming, she said the number will grow.

The Tutoring Center is part of the Student Development Center, located in Central Classroom 120. Formerly handled by each college division, the program has been united under the office of Academic Affairs since the fall semester of 1991 .

"Our mission is to retain and graduate students," said Martelle Chapital, director

of the Student Development Center.

Chapital described the Student Development Center and the tutoring program as "student-friendly," and said her staff realizes "every student is different. We try to get to know you as a student and enhance this educational experience."

Chapital said former MSCD President Thomas Brewer was instrumental in organizing the Tutoring Center, and new president Sheila Kaplan seems to have a special interest in retaining students. "We hope to work closely with her.'' Chapital said.

The Tutoring Center also offers study skills seminars, the Intercollegiate Athletic Program for scholarship athletes and the Tutor/Student Assistant program. All services are free.

Jackson said the Tutor/Student Assistant program places tutors in classrooms

several times a week. The tutor tan see exactly what the teacher covers in class, and can observe students who may not be taking notes easily or who may not be understanding lectures.

Jackson said the tutor then sets up study groups according to the wishes of interested students. Time, place and frequency of meetings are all determined by the students. Jackson said she has implemented the program in subject areas such as modern languages, biology, history, economics and math.

Chapital said the Tutoring Center is staffed by herself and coordinators Jackson and Rebecca Salinas. All three are MSCD graduates.

In addition to supervising peer advisers, Salinas works as an "advocate for students," setting up meetings between students and professors, and also working

with campus offices that help students.

The Tutoring Center has a small clerical staff and 14 peer advisers.

Denise Rodriguez is entering her third year as a peer adviser and helped open the Tutoring Center. A senior majoring in Human Services, Rodriguez said she works there because "I wanted to work in an atmosphere where I could work directly with students and better my skills. I like it, and I'm good at it."

Chapital said the Student Development Center and its tutoring program help students realize "more than a goal of a four-year degree. What are you going to do after?" She said their services help "facilitate that dream."

The Tutoring Center is open Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Students should go to Central Classroom 120 to schedule tutoring appointments.

Banned Book Week Spotlights Challenged Books Scottie Menin

Maximize Your Score!

STAFF WRITER

.,

Obscenities, sex, homosexuality, violence, racism, drugs, witches, sad endings and religion are all reasons used to challenge or ban books from schools and libraries across the United States.

In observance of Banned Books Week, and in an effort to increase reading and the freedom to choose what we read, a selection of banned books are on display at the Auraria Book Center and at the Student Union Mezzanine until Oct. 2.

"Banned Books Week celebrates the First Amendment rights," said Bobbi Rubingh, marketing assistant for the Auraria Book Center. "It also promotes awareness of various organizations' efforts at censorship."

In addition to the displays of banned books, the book center also is selling posters for $ l that depict an eye chart which spells out, "Censorship Causes Blindness - READ!" AU proceeds go to area literacy programs, said Rubingh.

ABC is also distributing free buttons and free First Amendment posters.

According to a free banned-book list available at the book center, books that have been banned, removed or challenged somewhere in the United States in recent years include: "Doris Day: Her Own Story" - due to the book's "shocking" contents, particularly "in light of Miss Day's All-American image."

"Diary of Anne Frank" - because the book was a "real downer."

GRE Attack

The Metropolitan/Chas Gordon

• "Hansel and Gretel" - because it teaches children that it is acceptable to kill witches and paints witches as child-eating monsters.

"Little Red Riding Hood" - because an illustration of a particular edition shows Little Red Riding Hood's basket with a bottle of wine as well as fresh bread and butter, and the wine could be seen as condoning the use of alcohol.

"Snow White" - because of its graphic violence; a hunter kills a wild boar, and a wicked witch orders Snow

Jean Schiff's whimsical style reflects in her exhibit of two bodies of work. A collection of alkyd oil on paper features tiny oriental rugs, while the pastel and colored pencil drawings, "Like Father like Son" and "Mother of the Bride: Barbie weds Pinocchio," relay their own messages.

Pamela Hawkins' ceramic " Raku Book" instructs "Please read ." Seven square ceramic slates feature paste l shapes strung by a string. The seventh slate says "Art is a jealous mistress.,.

All the works were of professional merit and related the individual ' s personality. The faculty collection succeeds as a celebration of the plethora of talent that instructs MSCD's art students.

The show runs through Oct. 21. The Emmanuel Gallery is open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, and is located at 10th and Lawrence streets, across from the Student Union.

Once again the faculty of the MSCD Art Department displays individual styles at the Emmanuel Gallery's Art Faculty Exhibit, which opened Wednesday, Sept.

29.

The 21 faculty members presented recent work from mixed media painting to ceramics to photography in its newest digital art form.

Carlos Fresquez ' s mixed media "Guitarra por La Frontera ," (guitar by the border) cleverly echoes Picasso while subtly making a social statement. Hung on the waH, the guitar body sits on part of a box with a Caliente brand California fruit label on it. Thick wire is strung to the guitar neck made of pieces of picture frames. An empty can of refried beans frames the center hole, revealing a picture of the Virgin inside.

Roger Lang's "liedo" are seven nonfunctional cerami c vessels. ln Japanese, liedo means " no way," they don ' t work, Lang explains. The earth-brown stoneware is shaped lik e tea ke ttle s with decorations impressed in the handbuilt handles.

Part-time painting instructor David Herbert Clark said he has been painting

sea-like images for a long time. In "Treading Water," he has painted a variety of ambiguous objects floating in ocean waves. It was painted on plywood originally used as wood block plates in printmaking. The cuts in the wood avoid the paint, and the work is a humorous reminiscence of a Japanese wood block painting.

"I like the plates more than the prints themselves," Clark said.

Two instructors presented their work using the digital manipulation of photographs. Both used a series of collages o f simple words with juxtaposed photographs.

MSCD Previews Art for Display at New Denver Airport Jim Kehl STAFF WRITER

Dinosaur fossils, railroad tracks, sandstone art, Native American art and a giant Mile High Stadium-style fiberglass bronco will reaffirm airport visitors that they have landed at Denver International Airport.

Photographs, drawings and models are part of the public art to be incorporated into the design of the Denver International Airport. The exhibit, "Public Art for the 21st Century: The Denver Airport Art Commissions" is on display at the MS'CD Center for the Visual Arts located at 17th and Wazee streets through Oct. 8.

The airport will include 23 pieces of art by 36 artists, 16 of whom are from Colorado. Works from 24 of the artists are in the exhibit.

"The works in this airport reflect cutting-edge types of art, but it also reflects Colorado, Native American and Hispanic artists," said Sally Perisho, director of the center.

Perisho alluded to artwork with a sense of humor.

An old family vacation photograph of Gary Sweeney 's sister will be displayed in the baggage claim area.

Sweeney said the photo, which has been enlarged to billboard size, is intended to take the stress out of waiting for luggage.

Other baggage claim area displays include gargoyles popping out of su itcases.

"The idea is that the gargoyles are protecting your luggage," she said.

"Dual Meridian" is David Griggs'contribution to Public Art for the 21st Century: The Denver Airport Art Commission.

Perisho said the exhibit is a great opportunity for people to learn about public art's function.

Public art is purchased by the city or the state rather than by individuals or businesses.

Public art requires the collaboration of artists, engineers, architects, iron workers and installers, she said.

"Often the public is curious as to how $7.7 million can be spent on public art," she said.

Public art is commissioned for public buildings and is the property of a state or city government. Most expenses are fabrication and installation costs. The artists receive very little profit, she said.

"The do it to be part of the building."

Dead Can Dance Releases Into the Labyrinth Album is More Percussion-based, Strippeddown and Simple than Previous Releases Jeff Stratton THE METROPOLITAN

)

After a string of five successful albums available only as imports, the Irish group Dead Can Dance have recently released their first record of new material since 1990 on an American label.

Their Warner Brothers debut, Into The Labyrinth, is a hauntingly beautiful journey into the sonic maze created by Lisa Gerrard and Brendan Perry-the couple who are Dead Can Dance.

Recorded in a church on an island off the Irish coast, this latest effort so fully incorporates the Middle Eastern and medieval influences that have crept into Gerrard and Perry's sound, that Into the labyrinth runs almost entirely on ethnic fuel.

Perry's deep baritone is more minstrel-like than ever, looser and less restrained. Some of his songs, like "The Ubiquitous Mr. Lovegrove," are often

personal narratives that seem to remove ,some of the mystique that cloaks this enigmatic duo. Gerrard's soprano soars unimpeded on "The Spider's Stratagem" and skates gracefully over the hopeful melodic phrases of "Ariadne." The a cappel/a "Wind That Shakes The Barley" is notable, because it is the first track Gerrard has sung in English since "Mesmerism," a song from l985's Spleen and Ideal.

Long-time fans may be disappointed by the group's use of synthesizers in place of the strings and authentic folk instruments they have favored in the past.

Several tracks are percussion-based, stripped-down and simple compared to some of Dead Can Dance's previous orchestral-type efforts. The new technology coupled with the simplicity of the songs may make them easier to perform in a live setting-something the group will be doing in 15 U.S. cities this November. Dead Can Dance will be appearing at the Ogden Theatre (8302525) on Nov. 4.

'Virtual Light' is Packed with Sociological i;>ossibilities James M. Schell THE METROPOLITAN

Once, William Gibson was cyberpunk literature. Gibson's ''Neuromancer," (1984), introduced readers to a dark world of corporate rule and those who oppose it through manipulation of the invisible reality of the computer. The sharply defined landscape of cyber literature in the 1980s has since eroded. Like other innovative areas of writing within the broader context of speculative fiction, time has softened the edges of Gibson ' s trademark genre.

In science fiction, good concepts like cyberpunk - are invariably absorbed into the !Jlainstream. So fans and cyberpunks beware: "Virtual Light" is not constructed around Gibson's trademark rebellious computer cowboys, brooding Als and disembodied hackers lost in the matrix of computer-generated realities.

This is a new world for Gibson. True, the landscape remains dark and oppressive, computer technology is prominent, and the omnipresent corporations are again, well, omnipresent. The focus, however, has shifted in Gibson's latest work. Instead of rebel cowboys out to set the world right, the protagonists in "Virtual Light" are Joe and Jane Sixpacks, just trying to survive. In short, "Virtual Light" is mostly adventure and suspense.

One of Gibson's greatest assets as a writer is his ability to confuse the heck out our of the reader before finally making sense out of it all in the last few pages. The first third of this novel reads like an erratically edited film. The reader is bounced back and forth between the lives of several vibrant characters, an expository tool Gibson has always

wielded expertly.

The central plot structure is a workhorse of detective fiction: someone lost something, so they hire our hero, an unsuspecting sap, to get it back. In this case the someone is one of the Gibson's trademark, frighteningly inhuman transnational corporations. The sap is protagonist Berry Rydell, a luckless sort who subcontracts himself to Lucious Warbaby, a shady "skip-tracer." The something is the device of the title, a pair of purloined sunglasses. These turn out to be the next step in virtual reality technology.

As with Gibson's previous work, "Virtual Lighr is packed with intricately imaginative nods to a host of cultural and .sociological possibilities. For the technoaddicted (we know who we are) Gibson peppers this work with minute references to an amazing array of possible and probable technologies.

For those who might otherwise be disappointed , the story eventually gets around to the "Republic of Desire," a group of computer hackers who seem to have their stickly little bits and bytes into just about everyone's DOS. In some respects however, the technological aspects of the story overshadow the characters. That is not to say you should overlook Gibson's latest offering, but "Virtual Light" is not a book that is going to change anyone's life. It's not . another "Neuromancer," scripture to the counter-cultural cyberpunk movement.

"Virtual Light" with its action, its suspense, its fascinating technological and cultural extrapolations and Gibson's industrial-pop style of writing is just plain fun to read. And what's wrong with that?

"Virtual Light" is published by Bantam/Spectra, costs $21.95 and is 278 pages.

Health Center Counsels Students with Eating Disorders Michelle Jensen THE METROPOLITAN

Jean, 29, is a MSCD student who has battled anorexia and bulimia since she was 17 years old. She said the disorders overtook her life and her weight became more important than relationships.

Anorexia (self-starvation) and bulimia (bingeing and purging) are potentially fatal eating disorders if those affected do not seek help.

Jean recovered after being hospital-

ized six times, with stays ranging from one week to 11 months.

"I realize now that people are more important than weight," Jean said.

She originally weighed 130 pounds.

When she dropped to 80 pounds, she still believed she was overweight. She also said she was bingeing and purging six to 12 times a day.

"I felt superior to other people because I could say 'no' to food, whereas others needed it," she said.

Low self-esteem causes most eating disorders and many women turn to food for comfort when things aren't quite right in their lives, Linda Pierce, a health educator at the Student Health Center, said.

She said eating disorders often begin when girls gain between 20 to 40 pounds when they are 12 or 13 years old. This is the age when they begin hearing that they need to diet. Most are told to diet by family members.

Pierce also said outside forces, such as models, keep telling women what to look like.

Many people with eating disorders believe they succeed at dieting when they fail at other things.

Although eating disorders are viewed as a women's issue, Pierce said the number of men with eating disorders is increasing, and that it is harder for them to seek help because they are taught to be strong.

The Student Health Center (5562525) offers counseling for those who believe they have eating disorders.

MSCD Moves Up in National Ranks After Dueling North Dakota State Kristin Sauls SPORTS EDITOR

.-

This weekend the women's volleyball team beat the fourth-ranked team in the nation, North Dakota State University, while hosting the Colorado Challenge Volleyball Tournament.

Saturday night MSCD beat North Dakota in four games, 12-15, 15-9, 16-14 and 16-14.

MSCD's coach, Rhonda McMullen, said she was happy with the win, but not with her team's performance. " It was not a great match by my team's standards," McMullen said.

By having such a close match with North Dakota, McMullen said: "It encouraged the team (MSCD) to work hard, and they realize their potential now. They did reset their goals and practice was intense."

MSCD is now ranked No. 4 nationally in Division II, following first ranked Northern Michigan, No. 2 Bakersfield and No. 3 Portland State.

McMullen said North Dakota State played Bakersfield poorly. Bakersfield took North Dakota in three straight games, and McMullen said it was not a pretty match up.

"They came back and played us tough, though. We should have beat them in four," McMullen said.

"I felt like we were up and down the whole time, but we won and that's all that counts," Middle-blocker Tracy Thompson said.

Thompson had 25 digs, 27 kills and hit for .393 during the North Dakota match and had 14 digs, 34 kills and a .361 hitting percentage against Bakersfield.

Lora Houdek, a setter, said: "I

thought we played better and more consistent against Bakersfield. Our serving messed us up."

Houdek had nine digs and four kills during Bakersfield and racked up 22 more digs, five kills and hit for .500 against North Dakota.

Houdek was nominated last week for Conference Player of the Week. She and Crissy Canada were both chosen for the All-Tournament team.

Canada had 11 digs, 16 kills and a .235 hitting percentage for North Dakota and played consistently well during the Bakersfield game with 14 digs, 20 kills and a .333 hitting percentage.

Wynema Hunter had an outstanding match against The Metropolitan/Andy Cross Bakersfield with 11 digs, 17 kills and a The MSCD women's volleyball team celebrates after the win over fourth-ranked North .444 hitting percent- Dakota State University. MSCD hosted the Colorado Challenge last weekend, playing both age. the number three- and four- ranked teams.

Thompson had the most points for the Bakersfield match, but the MVP award went to a Bakersfield player. "I just thought the MVP should be Kristin Sauls on the team that won," McMullen said.

The match was not easy for either team, Coach McMullen said.

MSCD fell in four games, 14- 16, 12-15, 16- 14 and 1215.

Although Bakersfield's team won, it had to earn its win over MSCD ' s high jumpers and tough blockers, McMullen said. " We should have won the first game and pushed them to take us to five ," McMullen said. " We had a higher hitting percentage and blocking percentage than they had, even The Metropolitan/Courtney Yoder though they out served us ," Middle-Blocker Tracy Thompson hits the ball McMullen said. over the net and through North Dakota's MSCD had 19 mi ssed defense.

Men's Soccer Plays on the Road, Wins Over Westminster Kristin Sauls SPORTS EDITOR

MSCD's men's soccer team totes home one win and two losses from its road trip, while Leonard Trujillo jumps in out front, leading the Roadrunners in points.

The Roadrunner's beat Westminster, Utah, 1-0.

Trujillo scored the only point from a penalty kick. MSCD was awarded the

kick because a Westy player tripped MSCD forward Brett Ryals. Coach Ashton gave the kick to Trujillo because he has been playing well and consistently in the last few matches, Ashton said.

"Trujillo is our brightest star at the time," Ashton said. Trujillo had two assists during the match against Southern Colorado on Tuesday.

The team did lose to California State University at Stanislaus, 0- l .

The coach said the loss was unacceptable because the team did not play its best..

"Trujillo is our brightest star. " -A/Ashton Men's Soccer Coach

The Metropolitan/Abby Ciezadlo

Coach Ashton gives a pep talk during the men's soccer match Tuesday afternoon.

"We played well in every game, but we didn't play Stanislaus as well as we could have. It was our weakest game of the year," Ashton said.

"We should have beat those guys, we dominated the game," he said.

The Roadrunners also lost to Ft. Lewis on Sunday, 2-4.

Ashton said he had MSCD watch Ft. Lewis beat the University of Denver the day before the match to see how tough they would be.

"Ft. Lewis is a good team, and we expected that," Ashton said.

He said MSCD beat Ft. Lewis twice

last year, but the Roadrunners did not go into this game over confident.

"Ft. Lewis has a definite home field advantage," Ashton said, explaining that Ft. Lewis plays on a football field that is too narrow for a soccer field and is full of divots.

Wade Schaefer scored the first point assisted by Jeremy Loring.

Vinny Seymour kicked the second one unassisted.

During Tuesday's match against Southern Colorado, Wade Schaefer and Paul Mackin scored MSCD's two goals to give MSCD the win.

"The team is getting dangerous in the opponent's penalty box, and that is helping the Roadrunners beat teams," Ashton said.

He said the team's skills are getting sharper, and the men are getting used to playing with each other. That is helping them beat some tough teams.

Ashton said the team will play eleventh-ranked Regis on Saturday. " If we had all out academic ineligibles we could beat them, but we'll just have to give it our best shot with who we have," he said.

MSCD will be playing without its assistant coach, Chad Ashton, The Metropolitan/Andy Cross because he will be playing in APSL [American Professional Soccer Bobby Seymour uses his head to help League] Championship game in Los MSCD beat Southern Colorado.

Beaten, bruised and scarred sums up the condition of the women's soccer team after talcing two hard losses last week.

Coach Ed Montojo said four starters were injured, and one starter, Jennifer Duran played at only 40 to 50 percent of her ability.

"We played well enough, we just

don't have the depth without the starters," Montojo said.

The coach said MSCD did not start strong and that San Bernardino jumped on them early.

"We re-grouped in the second half and the team [MSCD] played really well.

We were just missing too many people.

We should have beat San Bernardino by four goals," the coach said. San Bernardino lost to Northern Colorado 2-0 and to Regis 3-0, he said.

"If we were full strength, we could have blown the game wide open," Montojo said. ·The Roadrunners lost to UNC last weekend, 2-0. MSCD's record is now 4-3.

"It was hard coming off last weekend beating two nationally ranked teams and then losing like we did," Montojo said.

Because half of his team had been injured all week, Montojo said, "We got some of our people back, but our timing was off."

At Friday's practice only eight women were healthy enough to play.

By Saturday everyone was off the injured list, but the team still had only a few starters that could play UNC Sunday.

Coach Montojo said he was going to take Band-Aids with stars and stripes on them for his team to wear for the Air Force game on Wednesday . He has dubbed the team the "Band-Aid Crew."

''More value for your money... that's why State Farm insures more homes than anyone else''

8. McMullen said the Roadrunners had their tnisses at crucial poivts during the games.

"They (MSCD) just were not focused," McMullen said.

She said: "The team overall was dissatiSfied and frustrated with the loss.

They felt they should have beaten Bakersfield."

Lora Houdek said: "We concentrated too much on one hitter instead of all the hitters. Our communication on defense wasn't there during both games."

Although Bakersfield was ranked fourth coming to the tournament, the standing was not correct. According to McMullen, Bakersfield had beaten Portland 'State and neither team had phoned in the results early enough .

Bakersfield should have been ranked No. 2 and Portland State No. 3.

Stephen "Duck" Hunter is excited about MSCD's upcoming rugby season.

He said the Fighting Elvises should be good and can compete with some tough schools.

Hunter, a player for MSCD's Rugby Team, started playing again this season after sitting out for a year and a half with an injured knee. He hurt it during a rugby match and had to have reconstructive surgery.

The knee is better now, because Hunter works out regularly. He spends an hour a day lifting weights and up to three hours a day biking.

Hunter is a wing man on the rugby team, which is the equivalent of a receiver on a football team.

MSCD went to the Ruggerfest competition Sept. 17-19, but didn't play as a team. MSCD players were used to fill in on teams that were short on players.

Hunter said he would like to see more students at the games.

"Rugby is a great stress release."

"Rugby needs people to come out and support them and watch them play.

Rugby is not just a Metro club, it's for all three schools on the Auraria campus," Hunter said. · Commenting on rugby' s coach, Jeff Porter, Hunter said, "We're lucky to have him as our coach. He used to play for MSCD and now he volunteers his time to coach us."

How did MSCD become the Fighting Elvises?

Hunter said Porter's nickname was Elvis when he played, hence the team name Fighting Elvises.

Not only does Hunter play rugby, he is a full-time UCD International Business student. He is scheduled to graduate this

The Metropolitan/Chas Gordon

"We'll squish their heads," Hunter said of what the Fighting Elvises will do to opponents this season.

December. Hunter has not yet decided what he wants to do in his career field, nor which company he would like to work for. His goal in life is to "be successful in life without doing so at the expense of others."

Hunter graduated from Evergreen High School in 1989. He attended Red Rocks Community College for one year, then transferred to UCD in 1990.

Hunter works two jobs in addition to attending school. His main job is in the Air National Guard, where he refuels aircraft. His night job is at the Stampede, a country bar in Aurora, where he works as a doorman. Hunter has also done modeling and commercials for Joslin's, Coors Light, the Rocky Mountain News, Colorado Lotto and the Bolder Boulder.

When he is not working, Hunter likes the alternative music scene and the reggae at Jimmy's Grille.

Hunter said his return to rugby this season is great therapy for him.

"Rugby is a great stress release. The players' intensity is really important; you have to stay focused in order to stay healthy," Hunter said.
