Provost Williams to Leave His Post .in June Victor Anthony THE METROPOLITAN

The outgoing Academic Affairs Vice President and Provost of MSCD said he has no regrets and no hard feelings about his departure. "I've served as the No. 2 person and enjoyed it," David Williams said. "I will continue to enjoy this year, because I'll stay in this position through June 30." Williams was named to his current position in August 1990 by Thomas Brewer shortly after Brewer took over as president of MSCD. Sheila Kaplan

began her term as president last month, and Williams says it is now his turn to move on and make way for the new president's choice. "What is happening here at Metro with a new president is basically part of the normal activity that takes place whenever a new administration is brought on board," he said. Williams said he wants to be a president of a college or university and expects to secure an appointment before he leaves MSCD. In her convocation address Sept. 21, Kaplan announced Williams' departure.

She said she hoped to find Williams' replacement by March. "So far, Dr. Kaplan has been very supportive of me, and we are working together well," Williams said. Williams "It's a different style than the former president, but

you adjust to that." Williams said there is no difference between his basic philosophy and Kaplan 's: The only difference in their top priorities is Kaplan's desire to reorganize . MSCD' s administration, he said. "I think I have had a very successful three-plus years here. "Metro has spent its first 25 years growing. I came at a time when the institution was about to peak, and the last three or four years could be considered a maturing time for us ," Williams said. "We've grown up now."

NE \Y s Auraria Board Cancels Meeting

CAMPUS

Soker Says October Meeting Not Necessary, SACAB Disagrees, Complains Antoinette Vecchio NEWS EDITOR

The Auraria Board of Directors has canceled its October meeting stating "there are no matters requiring action this month." The Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board, however, disagrees. Kersten Keith, student representative to SACAB, said there is no reason the meeting should be canceled. In a memorandum to JoAnn Soker, executive vice president of administration, SACAB chairwoman Eden Cohen said there are items the board needs to discuss. "Seeing as how there is a tabled motion regarding Emerson Holliday, and there are several items regarding CCHE [Colorado Commission on Higher Education], I fail to see how there can be a lack of business," Cohen said in her memorandum to Soker. #,<>

could not go into executive session because it did not have the required votes to do so, according to the meeting minutes. Cohen said she believes the measure will be tabled because the board did ·not set a time for discussion. CCHE is scheduled to discuss at its next meeting the renovation funding and student compensation for the current Student Union after the move to the Tivoli Student Union, Cohen said in an interview. She said she believes the Auraria Board would want to know the results of that meeting. King Trimble, governor appointee and chairman of the board, said Soker called him and requested the meeting be canceled because there was only one item see MEETING page 7

Soker said the board meeting was canceled only because there are no action items that had to be acted on this month. She said she did not know if tabled issues need to be discussed right away. According to Robert's Rules of Order, guidelines followed by the board for its meetings, the board does not have to take up a tabled motion unless there is a majority vote of the board to do so. However, the board is out of order "if the evident intent is to kill or avoid dealing with the measure," the rules state. "I do believe the intent of tabling the motion was meant to avoid dealing with the measure ...regarding Emerson," Cohen said. At its Sept. 15 meeting, the board attempted to go into executive session to discuss Holliday, former division director of Student Services for AHEC. The board

ASMSCD Offers Tuition Deferment Jim Kehl )i

STAFF WRITER

The debut of MSCD Student Government ' s tuition deferment plan helped 180 students postpone their tuition payments this semester, offering students the opp<?rtunity to defer 60 percent of their tuition. Student Government President Barb Ferrill said the program was proposed last year by former Student Government President Tom Mestnik, although the plan did not go into effect until the 1993 fall semester. "So far the program is working fine," said Mike Barnett, associate director of Student Accounts. "It's a program that will go through some changes."

For safety rea sons, the Auraria Higher Education Center Parking and Public Safety Division asks that students not cut through or approach the light rail construction site, ,especially at Kalamath Street and Colfax Avenue.

Case for Acclaim MSCD recently received two awards from the Council for Advancement and Support of Education for the radio program " Colorado ' s Kids," and for the student newspaper The Capitol Reporter. A silver medal went to "Colorado's Kids" for excellence in radio news and features. The 60-second radio segment features children speaking their minds on issues that are important to them. A bronze metal went to The Capitol Reporter for excellence in the "external audience tabloid" category. The newspaper is written by students covering the Colorado ~gislature. Each year the CASE program honors professional and institutional excellence in advancement programs and educational communications.

He said 62 students have missed their payment deadlines. Ferrill suggested that students may still be waiting for financial aid or have forgotten the deadline date because the school did not send out payment notices. "We have asked the Business Office to change that and send notices," Ferrill said. The program is restricted to continuing, full-time, in-state students who have not received financial aid for this semester, or have not received college money from an outside institution. Students who participate in the program must pay a $50 fee and 40 percent of their tuition up front. The remaining 60 percent must be paid over two six-week periods.

Because the Business Office was unwilling to take a loss from students who did not make their payments, the Student Affairs Board has set money aside for estimated losses, Ferrill said. Students who default, however, face serious consequences, Ferrill said. There is a $10 late fee for missing the payment deadline, she said, and if a student has not paid in full by the beginning of the following semester, their account will eventually be forwarded to a collection agency. In addition, the student will not be allowed to enroll in classes. The program is significant for stu, dents, Ferrill said. "In this program, the school cannot drop students from their cliisses for late payments," she said.

New MSCD President Sheila Kaplan now hosts the 30-minute MSCD public affairs radio program, "Denver Dialogue," which was recently awarded a 1993 Gold Pick in the "Value for Dollar" category by the Public Relations Society of America-Colorado. The show, taped at MSCD, started in December 1989 to acquaint former MSCD Pres ident Tom Brewer with Denver and the rest of the state. It features interviews with prominent headliners discuss ing issues t hat affect Colorada ns .

The Auraria campus is getting passing grades from the disabled community-but there is much room for improvement, some students said. "Accessibility is adequate," said M.J. Lane, UCD student government president. Lane, who uses a wheelchair, said she can get into and through any building on campus, but it is not always as easy as it could be. "The facility itself is not friendly, " Lane said. "For example, why aren't there handles on the doors of bathroom stalls? You have to reach down and grab the bottom of the door to pull it closed." Wheelchair ramps are unnecessarily steep, she said. "I'm building some pretty good muscles by going up those ramps," Lane said. Lane also cited a lack of doors with automatic openers as a problem. "Why should I have to use a certain entrance to get into a building?" she said. ''The Auraria campus is not the best in terms of handicapped accessibility, but it is far from being the worst," Lane said. "I think the major problem is that people who are not handicapped are designing facilities that are being used by people who are." MSCD student Kathy Burrows, also in a wheelchair, said she is enrolled in a Human Services class that has moved six times. The class is now being taught in the Student Union. Burrows said accessibility was espe-

r I

cially difficult for one of her classmates who is blind. "In some cases, I didn' t know there the class was going to be," Burrows said. For one session, the class met on the sixth floor of the Tivoli Student Union where there are no ramps, she said. "They had to use a table as a ramp," she said. Another problem for disabled students on campus is the Regional Transportation District' s light rail construction. Johnnie Johnson, an MSCD student who is blind, narrowly avoided falling into a construction hole on the south side of campus last week. "I was walking without my cane and almost fell into a hole. The only thing that stopped me was the barricade. Those holes are left unsupervised sometimes. They [RTD] are just looking for an accident to happen," Johnson said. He said he was unable to locate construction personnel to alert them of the potential problems. Randall Langmore, an employee with Disability Services, agreed with Johnson. "When there has been a lot of construction, it poses a problem with disabled people," Langmore said. Langmore, who was blind for threeand-a-half years until having corrective surgery, said "even if properly trained how to use a cane, a blind person can injure themselves physically, or in some instances injure their dignity in construction mishaps." John Lovshin, director of design and

construction for Auraria Higher Education Center, said he has contacted RTD several times about accessibility problems, but he has no authority over RTD. "All we can really do is yell, and we do that quite often," he said. Community relations coordinator for light rail construction Brenda Bergman said RTD does weekly safety walks around the construction area to look for potential problems to all students. "We try as hard as we can to make it [the site] safe," she said. Langmore said ac~ssibility for blind students is good for the most part, and Braille labeling throughout Auraria campus is consistent.

107 Parking Spaces Lost to RTD Light Rail System

•

The Metropolitan/Chas Gordon

Workers lay 80-foot sections of track for RTD's Light Rail System on Colfax Avenue near Mariposa Street. Track work Is scheduled to be completed at the end of the month.

Victor Anthony STAFF WRITER

Construction on Denver's light rail system is running smoothly, but the tracks mean fewer parking spaces atAuraria. "We're right on track!" said Brenda Bergman, com-

munity relations coordinator for the Regional Transportation District (RID). , Bergman said the pope's visitshut down certain construction sites temporarily. Track work was scheduled to be finished August 1993, as scheduled. However, operations will begin next

October, as originally planned, Bergman said. The Metro Area Connection (MAC) will cut across the south and east borders of the campus with a station on Colfax Avenue near Lipan Street. Bergman said as soon as all the track is laid, concrete will be poured to level out the area along the rails. Bergman said fares for the MAC line will be the same as fares for local bus service. Presently, fares are $1 during peak hours (6 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.) and 50 cents all other times. The light rail system took over 65 spaces from Auraria parking lots, according to Mark Gallagher, director of Parking Services at Auraria Higher Education Center. The parking areas affected are Lots J, K and L. The lots run along West Colfax Avenue, although access to them is on Curtis Street. Lot L, which lost 25 spaces to the light rail system, also lost 42 spaces because of expansion of the Auraria Child Care Center, Gallagher said. Lot Lis a faculty/staff permit lot during the day and a daily fee lot after 5 p.m. Lot K uses a debit card system and cash is accepted at Lot J. Gallagher said Parking Services received $312,700 in exchange for the land turned over to RTD for the tracks. The price was based on future earnings lost from the parking spaces. RTD also covered the cost of resurfacing, restriping and recurbing the lots, he said. More than 6,000 parking spaces are available campuswide; and the loss of 107 spaces should not significantly impact students, Gallagher said. "Right now, our understanding is enrollment is down some so that there's not an unbelievable crunch for parking. But if enrollment grows, and it will at some point, then yes, we would have to look at expanding," he said. A new lot is now open on 5th Street near Walnut Street, Gallager said, which has 150 parking spaces. The cost for all-day parking is 75 cents.

"I did not get the impression that she [Soker] canceled the meeting to avoid controversial issues," Trimble said, noting the discussion about Holliday. " ... The meeting was canceled because there were no agenda items to be dealt with this month." Trimble said he suggested Soker talk to other board members to get a concurrence.

Quality of Education Increasing With 'Publish or Perish' Attitude Metropolitan State College of Denver professors are often associated with extracurricular activities ,... that add prestige to MSCD and the student body. For ex~mple, I am reminded of the Irish Debates through the speech department, and the poems, plays and books that have been presented by some of the professors in the English department. The fallout from our professor's activities, beyond their tutelage, is a direct benefit to the students at MSCD. ~ Students, especially older non-traditional students like myself, recognize the increasing quality of MSCD and the education value we are receiving . Therefore, it is appreciated when our professors hone their disciplines. They should be recognized for their efforts. How do our professors maintain their status as assets to the academic community? One method is the time-worn cliche "publish or perish." For example, Metropolitan State College students recently benefited indirectly when philosophy professor Tim Gould participated in the 52nd Session • of The English Institute at Harvard University. Gould was one of twelve presenters during the August 26 through 29 program. The prestigious program is sponsored by 50 universities and colleges such as Amherst College, Carnegie Mellon University , Rutgers University and Yale University. . _ This year's conference presenters included "' Gould, Stephen Ogel, Stanford University; Andrew Ford, Princeton University; Elin Diamond, Rutgers University; Andre Parker, Amherst College; Cathy Caruth, Yale Univers.ity; Karen Newman, Brown University; Cindy Patton, Temple University; John Brinkman, Baruch College; Sandra L. Richards, .L Northwestern University; Joseph Roach , NYU ; Coppella Kahn, Brown University; Judith Butler, John Hopkins University and UC-Berkeley, and Scott Malcomson of the Village Voice Literary Supplement.

TuE METROPOLITAN

Gould was invited to participate in this conference by poet and critic Eve Kosofsky-Sedgwick of Duke University. Gould's topic titled " The Unhappy Performative," lasted 40 minutes followed by "arduous. but friendly questions" according to Gould. He says he was picked for the conference because he represents the legacy of the late Oxford philosopher, J.L. Austin. Gould mentioned that Austin was his teacher's teacher, and the founder of the "Speech Act Theory." Teachers' writers, scholars and critics are the principal audience of The English Institute, which according to Gould, is an offshoot of the Modern Language Association (MLA). . As a result of the conference, Gould was invited to co-teach a class at Duke University with Eve Kosofsky-Sedgwick, which he did on Monday Sept. 20, through Tuesday, Sept. 21, after which he flew immediately back to Denver for his Tuesday evening philosophy seminar. Professor Gould is just one example of how Metropolitan State College of Denver professors add value to our education. Ours continues to grow in the public eye through professors in other MSCD departments such as art, speech, drama, literature, journalism and the sciences to name a few. Ask your professors what they are doing to hone their skills. You will be pleasantly surprised. You will also be reminded that MSCD attracts quality teachers who turn out quality graduates. And if you think this is a patronizing statement, find out where some of Colorado's best educated police officers, pilots, teachers, artists, attorneys and responsible citizens received their undergraduate degrees. More often than not the answer is MSCD. Alan C. lannacito MSCD Student

More than 200 Denver college students spent Saturday, Oct. 2 painting, entertaining homeless children, planting trees and participating in other vo1unteer projects. Thirty-one MSCD students, along with volunteers from CCD, Regis University, UCD, University of Denver and area high schools, participated in the third annual "Into the Streets." Jeanine Cowan, coordinator for leadership development and club support services at CCD, was the event coordinator for the Auraria campus. She spent most of her day at El Centro Su Teatro. The hispanic acting group' s theater has just been renovated and volunteers helped repaint the center, said Cowan. She said that 90 percent of everything went well. One event that had a rough start was "For Children Only." Although volunteers arrived at 9 a.m., the children did not come until 10 a.m., and it was unclear where the volunteers and the children would spend the day, said Annester Taylor-Brown, leadership coordinator for the PEAK Leadership Program. However, once they got started, she enjoyed her day as team leader. Her team took 30 children to the book fair at Currigan Hall and then to St. Cajetan 's for a picnic lunch. As a bonus, the children received an unplanned visit from Denver Mayor Wellington Webb. ~aylor-Brown saw the mayor as he walked by the group and he stopped to talk with the children. Some

team members enjoyed working with the children so much that they made plans to continue meeting with the children after Saturday's event. One volunteer who has participated in "Into the Streets" all three years is Elenka Jarolimek, a program assistant for the Metro Activities Council. This was her second year working with the Denver Digs project to plant trees. Her group planted five trees at Barnum Park, located at 6th A venue and Federal Boulevard. Maggie Miller, acting director of Student Activities, also enjoyed her volunteer experience. She worked at the Women's Bean Project. Her group sorted 100 pounds of beans to be used for soup, which the project sells. The money earned is used to help women become self-sufficient. Miller said, "I loved the experience. As a volunteer, I got more out of it than I gave - I learned about the lives of the women who worked there."

Mothers Must Change Their Approach Towards Daughters WOMEN from page 14

is an enormous problem. But "we can change how women deal with each other." Mothers need to realize that they are not perfect and that perfection is not required of them. "Girls are looking for honest women," Wilson said, adding that women should be interested in helping nurture other women's children. "No one can mother alone." "Raising daughters in a culture that is hostile is a very political act," Wilson said. What happens to mothers and daughters during adolescence colors all relationships women have with women. Several things are hopeful, Wilson said. "All women can join in the resistance." She detailed activities to try with girls: • "What would happen if women told the

truth?" Wilson asked. Women don' t tell the truth because they want to keep relationships. "My house is wallpapered with lies," Wilson quoted one little girl. Tell the truth about sexism, Wilson urged. African American families educate their children about racism, pointing out racist images on TV. Sexism is diffe rent because often there is a man in the house. But men and women can monitor sexism together. • Women should see their mothers as allies and not spend their lives trying to avoid becoming their mothers. Women need to see the context in which th eir mothers lived. • "We're calling on women to really join the resistance of girls." Instead of shaping them, stay with them and help them figure out how to deal with a world that is hostile.

MSCD 's sixth annual Plain and Fancy Ball will be an evening of dining, dancing and auctions. Proceeds from the ball benefit student scholarships and academic programs. Since 1988, the year of its debut, the ball has raised more than $205,000, according to the Office of Institutional Advancement, the event' s sponsor. More than 290 students have received scholarships and many more have benefited from the funds that academic departments have received. "Plain and Fancy" refers to the attire worn at the ball. Anything goes when dressing for this occasion - everything from tuxedos and evening gowns to Tshirts and shorts. This year, guests can also wear costumes portraying characters from comic strips, cartoons, movies or television. The ball is a contrast to the many black-tie-only events in Denver, a reflection of the accessibility and eclectic

nature of MSCD, according to the Office of Institutional Advancement. Larry R. Strutton, this year's Plain and Fancy Person of the Year, is an MSCD alumnus and is president, publisher and chief executive officer of the Rocky Mountain News. Strutton is expected to attract a substantial number of community and corporate leaders to the ball. "Larry is attracting people whom we hope will be some of Metro's strongest supporters in the future, " said co-chairperson of the event Rita C. Kahn. Honorees are chosen for their leadership in the community and their support of education. Last years' honorees were Virginia Castro, Miriam Goldberg, Sister Loretto Anne Madden, Kay Schomp and Wilma Webb. Past honorees include Patricia Schroeder, Dan Reeve s and Sidney Shlenker. In prev ious years, Colorado and national businesses have donated more than 2,200 items for the silent auctions. Gifts have included an automobile, ski weekends, tennis lessons. diamonds and ge ms, computers, airline tickets, fine dining and autographed NFL football jerseys. An oral auction, a recent addition to the event, will be held again this year and will offer unique items such as an antique grand piano, a helicopter ride and a trip to California. Diana Castro and The Big Time will provide music for this year's ball. They are expected to give the event a lively, upbeat tone with their own form of contemporary funky jazz sounds. The Plain and Fancy Ball was created as both a fund-raiser and a public relations event for MSCD. The past five events have been a great success. "We expect a sellout crowd again thi s year," said Janet Datisman of Institutional Advancement. The ball will be held Oct. 30 at the E.W. Estlow Printing Facility, 5990 Washington, in Denver. Individual tickets can be purchased for $75. For more information call Nancy Munser at 556-2957.

SPORTS Coach Finds Mascot in Dash of Bus During Road Trip Roadrunners Keep Impressive 10-1 Record Kristin Sauls . . SPORTS EDITOR

The women's volleyball team maintains their winning streak this week, beating Ft. Lewis and the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs, while adding a new member to the team. The Roadrunners beat UCCS last Wednesday in four games, 15-9, 15-9, 1513 and 15-3. "It was not a great match for us," coach Rhonda McMullen said. "We served terribly during that first game. We only hit for five percent, that's why they ' beat us 15-9." McMullen said the teams they play this season are unpredictable. "Teams either play out of their minds, or they are scared stupid," McMullen said. "This is hard for us, because we never know how a team is going to react to us." She said UCCS went to town on MSCD during the first game. MSCD hit two serves in the net and let its guard down. The Ft Lewis match turned out to be a big letdown. MSCD won the match in less than hour, 15-1, 15-4 and 15-7. McMullen said she was irritated that

they had to drive 15 hours to Durango to play that short of a match. "They [Ft. Lewis] are better than they played," she said, "their best setter was sick." The trip to Durango was more exciting than the match itself, according to McMullen. McMuUen said the Roadrunners drove the bus to Durango, stopping for food in Salida. When they boarded the bus to continue the trip, a small, white animal ran between McMullen's legs and

had found the mother cat and two other kittens on the bus two days before, but he did not know about the third kitten. McMullen was afraid that if she drove the bus, it would kill the cat, and she felt sorry for it being stuck in the dashboard. They called the fire department to free the kitten, which took two, hours. The white kitten is now the vol leyball team ' s mascot. They call him Dash.

The men's soccer team defeated Regis Saturday afternoon, 2-1 in overtime. Regis was ranked eleventh in the nation going into this match with MSCD. "Our team played with a lot of emotion," Roadrunners Coach Al Ashton said. Leonard Trujillo kicked the first goal with two minutes left in regulation time. Greg Oakley scored the second one five minutes into overtime. Three players got red cards during the match, and MSCD ended up finishing with only eight players. When a player gets a red card, he is taken out of the game. Paul Mackin got the first red card for fighting with a Regis player. Jeremy Loring got two yellow cards, which equals one red.

Sey01our Brothers Help MSCD Soccer Kristin Sauls SPORTS EDITOR

Bobby and Vinnie Seymour are brothers, six years apart and both freshman, playing on MSCD's men's soccer team this season. Vinnie is 18-years-old and has been playing soccer for 14 years. Bobby is 24years-old, has been at the game for almost 20 years and describes himself as a soccer addict. Vinnie went to Northglenn High School where he played soccer, football and ran track. Bobby went to Thornton High School where he played soccer. Bobby said he lives for soccer, and he will play hurt if he has to just so he can be on the field. Vinnie and Bobby talked about the childhood fights they endured. Vinnie said, "He always beat me up." Bobby said, "I didn't beat him up all the time, just now and then." Vinnie continued: "Bobby would beat up on me and our older brother Greg would come to rescue me, and then I

would beat on him. But I don't know why." Bobby claims he did it for his own good. "I helped him grow. I have to keep him straight so he doesn't screw up like I did," Bobby said. Both of the brothers like Coach Al Ashton and his son, Asst. Coach Chad Ashton, a lot. Bobby has known Al Ashton for eight years. The senior Ashton even went to Florida with the team Bobby coaches, the Northglenn Thunder. It is an under- 17 league team. Bobby also played high school soccer against Chad Ashton, who is now a professional player for the Colorado Foxes. Vinnie said: "I think we have the best coaching staff

Women's Soccer Ties, Wins, Loses Soccer Brings Home 5-4-1 Record After Tournament in Colorado Springs Kristin Sauls SPORTS EDITOR

The Air Force Academy proved to be a worthy opponent, taking MSCD's women's soccer team into overtime and giving it the first tie this season. MSCD's women's soccer team has had some problems with half the team coming off injuries from a tournament last weekend. The score of the match was 1-1, but Coach Ed Montojo said his team played extremely hard for the entire 120 minutes. "We outplayed Air Force. We were just unlucky. Two of our shots hit the crossbar [of the goal] and didn't go in," Montojo said. Montojo was happy with his team's performance. "We ran them into the ground. We were more fit than they were," Montojo said. He expected them to be in better shape than they were, considering they were military, he said. " The loss was disappointing for as hard as we worked during the game," he said. Freshman Deborah Sapashe scored the only goal for MSCD in that game. The women's soccer team took second place in the Air Force Academy's Women's Invitational Tournament. Air Force barely won the tournament, according to Coach Ed Montojo. Entering

the third match of the tournament, Air Force needed three points to win. They beat Missouri 3-0. The Roadrunners lost to the University of Missouri at St. Louis 2-1 during their first match. "It was a very disappointing loss to the players," Montojo said, "they only had two shots on goal and made them both." MSCD had two shots hit the bar on the goal, and they had four empty goal shots and missed all of them, Montojo said. MSCD defeated Southern Illinois University 2-1. " We wanted to see if we could rebound, coming off that loss to UMSL, Montojo said. "We were totally dominating during UMSL, we just couldn't put the ball in the goal." Montojo said his team was able to come back during the SIU match because MSCD's technical abilities were much better than the Illinois team's. Junior Chrissy McCain scored the first goal for MSCD. Sophomore Melissa Villani kicked in the second with McCain assisting. Roadrunners Rosie Durbin, Jennifer Duran and Melissa Villani were named to the All-Tournament Team. McC~in won Most Valuable Player for Defense for the tournament.
