Senate Votes.to Impeach Lemak Lemak on Leave of Absence, Ferrill Appoints Michael as Interim Vice President Jim Kehl STAFF WRITER

MSCD Student Government Vice President Lucian ... Lemak's impeachment began Wednesday with a unani.. mous vote by the Student Senate. The issue is now in the hands of the Judicial Board, which will rule next week whether or not to impeach Lemak. He is ineligible for t!ie vice presidency because his GPA is below the 2.0 requirement. The Senate attempted to impeach him at the last meeting, but the required two-thirds of the senators was not present to vote. Lemak bas taken a leave of absence, and Student Government President Barb Ferrill appointed Marshall Michael as the interim vice president with the condition -,. that he become the permanent vice president if Lemak is impeached. . The Judicial Board is expected to rule in favor of the impeachment. During the meeting, Sen. Tom Muenzberg asked why the Senate did not ask Lemak to resign instead of > going through the process of impeachment.

Fall Elections Resume Commission, Student Government, CoPIRG Agree on Timeline · - Patricia Sydney Straub EDITOR IN CHIEF

.&..

The fall election is on again after the Election Commission, MSCD Student Government President Barb Ferrill and CoPIRG agreed upon a timeline and plan to initiate the election. The signatures of 10 S t u d e n t Senators on a memorandum to the Election Commission prompted the Miller commission to reevaluate its decision last week to cancel the elections. The elections were canceled because only one referendum would appear on the ballot.

Sen. Sean Tonner said the impeachment was the best course of action for the Senate and Lemak. "If he resigned, he would've admitted guilt that he had known about his GPA," Tonner said. "He didn't know about it." · Lemak was eligible for the-office when he ran in the election last spring, but on Aug. 23 his name did not appear on a list of students who were eligible for office. Tonner also said that the impeachment was the ~enate's way of sticking to its obligation to follow its own rules . Also at the meeting, the United States Student Association task force submitted a report on the Student Government trip to the Los Angeles USSA conference in July. The report said the committee found that two individuals did not attend the conference and that 11 people . did not attend all of the workshops. The report said that the trip was poorly organized and that some individuals behaved inappropriately due to irresponsible drinking. The report suggested that sanctions be assigned to those students.

El'

The memorandum said the Student Senate has the authority to hold the election, and the Election Commission must allow MSCD Student Government to • continue as planned. At its meeting Oct. 15, the commission decided in favor of the election. "The tide has turned obviously," said Tom Muenzberg of the election commission. "It looks like it's going to happen." Acting Director of Student Activities Maggie Miller was absent from the meeting but said in a memorandum that she supports the election. Although Muenzberg was the only voting member present at the meeting, he and Ferrill agreed that they had two-thirds of the commission's vote needed to go atiead with the election, citing Miller and Political Science Professor Norman Provizer's support. Voting for the election is scheduled for Monday, Nov. 15, to give a trial run of the new mail-in ballot method. On-cam-

CCHE Rejects 'Compensation' for Current Student Union .- Victor Anthony STAFF WRITER

The Colorado Commission on Higher Education rejected student leaders' demands for fair compensation for the Auraria Student Union building and -- moved forward with plans to convert the facility for academic uses. At issue during the Oct. 7 meeting was what part student fees play in the financing of construction costs of the current Student Union as well as financing -~ for the Tivoli Student Union. Leaders of the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board have contended that student fees were used to construct the current Student Union and that compensation is owed to students

because the building is to be converted into classroom space. "CCHE has this policy, it's very clear, you cannot use student fees for academic facilities," Student Representative for SACAB, Kersten Keith said last month. In a letter to the CCHE dated Oct. 6, Keith supported the plan to use the building for academic purposes submitted by the Auraria Higher Education Center Board, but maintained that compensation is due for three reasons. First, Keith wrote, student fees have paid for the current Student Union for the past 15 years. Second, student fees will continue to pay for the building until outstanding bonds are retired, and finally, see CCHE page 4

students have concerns about the quality of remodeling for the Tivoli Student Union. . Dick Ross, director of capital assets for CCHE, submitted a report to the commission stating, "CCHE staff is of the opinion that the program plan and budget submitted by the AHEC Board does not conflict with the CCHE policy prohibiting the use of -student fees for construction of academic facilities." The report said the Auraria students do not have an equity interest in any specific building, only in a "specific amount of functional space for Student Union activities." The Tivoli contains about twice as much space as the current Student Union. The report also said projected commercial income from rental leases and other non-stuKeith dent fee revenues will be more than enough to pay off the outstanding bonds on the current student union. In response to the third concern, the report points out that the Auraria Board of Directors approved a $1 million increase to the Tivoli construction budget on Sept. 13. "We're delighted that CCHE was so receptive to our plan to help alleviate the desperate space crunch on the Auraria campus," said JoAnn Soker, executive vice president for administration for AHEC. During its September meeting, the Auraria Board also voted to consider a list of items submitted by Keith, so long as they were not tied to the compensation issue. The list includes improved recycling efforts, improved lighting on campus, and money for new furniture and plants in the Tivoli. Student leaders said they were victorious in their dealings with the Auraria Board and the CCHE. "We got everything we wanted from the board," Keith said. ''They did give us everything we wanted, except to say that this was compensation." She said she believes the board will approve most of the items requested. MSCD Student Trustee Matthew Bates said he believes the CCHE policy (prohibiting student fees being used for academic space) needs work. " I'm a little disappointed at the Commission's sightings of exceptions to their policy," he said. "I have yet to see one occasion when the policy has been upheld or applied to anything." In his report, Ross recommended that all tuition and fee policies be reviewed to clarify issues raised recently and since the passage of Amendment 1. Keith said the CCHE bas consistently inte rp reted its policy in favor of administrations and against students. " Wt'.I! going to get a chang" in the student fee policy from CCHE so this doesn't happen to students in the future," she said.

THE METROPOLITAN

"Better to be judged by 12 than dead by one." These are the words of a 20-yearold MSCD student who carries a small handgun to class in a backpack. The student would only be interviewed anonymously. The student said going before a jury for murder in s_elf-defense would be much better than be killed by "some punk on the street." ' Sitting in class or walking around campus, the student looks like an average 20-year-old, the kind that blends in with the crowd."l'm not a gang-banger or anything," the student stresses. The student bought his 1967 .25 automatic "friend" for $79. He said he carries his "friend" to

school and work where he said there is a high potential for violence. Colorado law states, however, that people under the age of 21 are not allowed to carry a firearm. A 26-year-old acquaintance bought the gun for him after the student chose it from a gun store. To make sure he was comfortable with the gun, the student tested it by firing five rounds into a tree stump. Although the student picked out the gun, the gun shop employee asked only his acquaintance for identification. The gun is registered in the acquaintance ' s name but the two have an understanding as to its use-"self preservation in a hostile situation," the student said. "I've been shooting guns since I was 7 years old. I know how to respect a gun," he said.

Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board Oct. 20, 1993 • The Tivoli Student Union budget was discussed. SACAB expressed concern that the Union's projected revenues are too high and unrealistic. • Construction in the Tivoli Student Union is set tO begin in December and go full swing in January. The completion date is projected to be Aug. 1, 1994. • Construction and placement of the tracks on RTD's light rail system_is now expected to be completed in November instead of October. The cold weather will affect the pouring of the concrete around the tracks for pedestrian walkways and the intersection at Seventh Street and Colfax Avenue. • SACAB Members expressed concern about Tivoli Student Union Retail Consultant Tim Gonerka's interview with the Rocky Mountain News. Gonerka was quoted as saying negotiations with AMC to expand its space

were in progress. SACAB said the Retail Committee is unaware of the negotiations. • Chairwoman Eden Cohen expressed concern that SACAB representative to the Auraria Board Kersten Keith did not receive a letter regarding Professional Food-Service Management. JoAnn Soker said she sent the letter to other Auraria Board Members. The letter is in regard to PFM's contract. • There were classroom scheduling conflicts twice last week when both Facilities Management and Conference Services scheduled events at the same time in the same rooms. A UCO upperlevel math class was forced to end early because Facilities Management scheduled an event in the classroom during class time. An event scheduled by Conference Services was moved from Science 119, an auditorium, to a small classroom after Facilities Management scheduled a Faculty Senate meeting in the auditorium at the same time.

Four Clubs Not Recognized Missed Deadlines Force SACAB to Eject Clubs From Office Space Stacey Lowenberg THE METROPOLITAN

Four clubs have been ejected from their office space on Auraria campus for the fall semester because they failed to tum in required paperwork by the deadline set by the Office of Student Activities. The clubs that lost their offices are Alpha Eta Rho, Auraria Lesbian and Gay Alliance, MSCD MEChA and Metro Connections. Services provided by Student Activities will no longer be available to the clubs. Those service include: funding for special events, use of Auraria Higher Education Center campus facilities, invitations to all leadership workshops and advertising space in the Student Activities newsletter for meetings and special projects. "I was shocked when I saw these clubs didn't make it," said Marcus Dunn, clubs coordinator for the Office of Student Activities. "These clubs bring a lot to the Metro campus. Every year, they schedule big events, which we look forward to." Student Activities asks that the clubs do only two things to be recognized: Attend a mandatory club meeting where rules are explained and tum in an information packet that lists the club's officers, faculty adviser and constitution, Dunn said. "A club has to have structure to be on campus," he said. Aviation fraternity Alpha Eta Rho has been recognized on the Auraria campus since 1970 and has never before missed a deadline. Its members claim the club is MSCD's largest.

'Our biggest concern is keeping our fraternity together

without an office to communicate from.' -Amy Smith Secretary, Alpa Eta Rlw

"We didn' t tum in one form and our adviser even admitted that he just forgot," said Amy Smith, secretary for Alpha Eta Rho. The aviation club tried to submit the form three days later, but Student Activities would not accept it, Smith said. "Our biggest concern is keeping our fraternity together without an office to communicate from," she said. Dunn said the clubs were given a second chance. "I feel like we made the process and the deadlines as clear as possible. I even set a Sept. 17 deadline for the clubs that missed the Sept. 7 one," Dunn said. "But it just wouldn't be fair to the clubs that did tum in all their paperwork and want an office space to accept late paperwork." The expelled clubs can start the reapplication process at the beginning of the spring semester, and the clubs will be out of their office space only about a year as long as they reapply, said Eden Cohen, chairwoman of the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board. There are eight clubs already waiting for offices. The clubs with office space must have 10 office hours a week and are allowed only a desk, a file cabinet and a chair in the space, Cohen said. "Right now, there are three clubs to an office. The offices are for business. They're not lounges. Alpha Eta Rho had

Nintendo, a refrigerator and a couch in their office," she said. Student Activities gives the list of ousted clubs to SACAB. The Auraria Student Services staff then helps SACAB remove the clubs from its offices. "That way we can't be accused of taking· lost items or harassing the clubs," Cohen said. "SACAB only steps in if there are complaints about clubs or their office space." SACAB told Alpha Eta Rho that they cannot congregate in the hall next to its old office that it shared with the College Republicans. " We've only had this office for a year, and now we're losing it," Smith said. "I don't know what we ' ll do now. We ' ll have to schedule our events offcampus." Smith also said that many of the clubs around their old office are rarely in their offices. "Student Activities Cohen needs to get organized and keep in better contact with the clubs," Smith said. "The first thing I knew of all of this was when Eden Cohen left the message on my machine at home tt;lling me we had to be.out by Oct. 11." Alpha Eta Rho appealed to the assistant dean of Student Life, but was rejected. The fraternity also complained to SACAB, but has not received any results, Smith said. "We're really getting the runaround." Smith said. "No one will return our phone calls."

pus voting will also use Scantron forms, Ferrill and Muenzberg decided. Holding the election that week ensures a high turn-out and a valid election, said Frank Silady, campus organizei: for CoPIRG. The student reaffirmation to • - support the MSCD chapter is currently the only referendum on the ballot. Groups need signatures of one percent of the student body to get a referendum item on the fall ballot. The deadline

is Oct. 27 and the Student Senate must approve the referendum. The deadline for the referendum, however, is the same day as the next Student Government meeting. Since there would not be enough time to vote, senators will be contacted by phone to determine if they would vote for a referendum's support at the next senate meeting. Student Government is looking for volunteers to help monitor the polling booths for the election.

Student Health Center O.f fers Annual Flu Shots Connie Rivera THE METROPOLITAN

Flu season is just around the comer, and the Student Health Center is ready to help students combat the yearly battle. For $7, students, faculty and staff can get a flu shot to prevent th~ high fever, coughing and sore throat that plagues people every fall. "No one can afford to be out for two weeks on the couch not being able to move," said Health Center Staff Assistant Billi Mavromatis. "That is reason enough for the Student Health Center to push the student population at MSCD to get the flu shot." The American Lung Association bas initiated a month-long flu campaign and has predicted the flu season will be especially severe this year. According to the Hope Heart Institute's September newsletter, a new strain, or variant of the virus, is expected to hit the United States this flu season, and many Americans will not be immune to the strain. This year's flu shot, however, will protect

Americans from this new variant, Mavromatis said. "At the end of the flu season last year, a new strain showed up, and they [the medical profession] were able to identify it and incorporate it into this new vaccine," she said. Even if a person received a flu shot last year, the shot will not protect them from the new strain, Mavromatis said. Reasons for getting a flu shot are many, Mavromatis said. Students who cannot afford to miss class or exams, single parents or others who are around children often, and people with high risk medical problems, should consider getting the vaccine. People who are allergic to eggs, however, should not get a flu shot, Mavromatis said. "The purpose is to keep students healthy and to keep the incidence down," she said. Flu shots are available for the first 750 people. Vaccinations will be given daily from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the Student Health Center, Room 140 in the Student Union. The Health Center will also give flu shots from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Oct. 28.

What possible conclusion could frt the tragic saga that has unfolded over the past two months of these unbearably obscure pseudo-comic strips? You have to admit, ifs a classic story: boy meets girl, girl moves to Connecticut, boy foolishly says he'll wait for girl, boy changes his mind and dumps girl, girl calls upon the forces of darkness and curses boy, boy's life rapidly goes to pieces. I ask you again, how does it end? Oh, that's easy.

MARKETPLACE :•• 'Real Students Need To Get : Involved In Campus Leadership OF IDEAS

During the recent brouhaha concerning misuse of student fees for trips by student leaders and the lack of a proper grade point average for at least one such leader, I heard questions as to why the "real" MSCD students, i.e. , the mature, non-traditional ones, didn't get more involved in student leadership positions. My curiosity being aroused, I got out my detective badge, put on my Sherlock Holmes hat, and set out to find the answers. One of the first things I discovered was that the average "real" student has a schedule that goes something like this: Get up at 5:30 or 6:00 (maybe earlier); get family fed, dressed, and off to school, day care, work, or whatever; go to work and work until 4:30 or 5:00; grab a bite to eat on the run, and jump in the car or run to catch a bus to campus; attend a 5:30 and maybe a Financial Aid!

and Kate Lutrey, director of Student Publications. From the Office of Institutional Research I learned that the average age of an MSCD student is 27.4 years, so the average ages listed above fit into the "real" student category as far as age goes. But I did a little further checking into the leadership of some of the honor societies on campus and found ). an average officer age of 33 in one group, 39 in another and - are you ready for this - 55 in a third. Granted, these student leaders are not highly visible, but they're there, and in addition to their leadership positions they're maintaining GPA's of 3.5 to 4.0, and surviving daily schedules similar to • the one outlined above. And it's from these "real" students that graduation speakers are chosen. Three of the last four President's Award winners, for example, have been in their early 30s with 4.0 averages, families to care for, and a wide variety of student leadership and community service activities behind them during their college careers. A few years ago when I was selected to represent the English Department at an out-of-state conference, we learned that a faculty member was required to accompany any student traveler to an off-campus activity. The problem : I was older than most of the faculty members in the department. The powers-that-be finally decided I could be trusted to make the trip without a chaperone! And I did attend all the sessions! So even though an occasional student may ... choose to bend the rules, there are still plenty of them doing what they're supposed too, and the age and caliber of student leaders seems to indicate that MSCD is fulfilling its mission of making an outstanding education available to non-traditional students of the metropolitan Denver area.

Film 'Lives in Hazard' l

Victor Anthony STAFF WRITER

ctor Edward James Olmos screened his new documentary . "Lives in Hazard" in the North Classroom Sunday and used the occasion to speak about troubled youth and the increase of gang violence. The film also played Oct. 15 at the AMC Tivoli 12 Theatres as part of the 16th annual Denver International Film Festival this week. "Being part of a gang, being part of familia bonding, has been essential to us since the beginning of the human existence," Olmos said. People join gangs to belong to a group, not to cause trouble, he said. The Boy Scouts also dress alike and do activities together, but are not labeled with the negative interpretation of the word "gang." "Lives in Hazard" is a behind-thescenes look at the making of "American Me," a feature length film about East Los Angeles street gangs and California prison gangs. The hour-long documentary examines the lives and personal motivations of some of the gang members involved in the making of "American Me." "I made " American Me" so that I could make this film," Olmos said when introducing "Lives in Hazard." After the screening, Olmos said plans are underway to air the documentary on network television, followed by a townhall meeting hosted by President Bill Clinton and Attorney General Janet Reno. Olmos also said cassettes of the movie will be made available to schools and . .. j~ver;iile detent_ion centers.

"I really feel that violence, whether it be with a gun or not, is a health problem, not a judicial problem," he said to the crowd of 200 gathered in the North Classroom auditorium. He said he felt youth violence is learned behavior, and that society as a whole bears responsibility for its consequences. "Not one child that I know of ever came out of its mother's womb with a gun in its hand. They learned the behavior," he said. Olmos answered many questions about relationships. He said society needs more non-Caucasian role models. It would make a big difference, be said, if Christ were not portrayed as blond-haired and blue-eyed - features not common in the region where Jesus was born. When one teen-age audience member asked Olmos how to stop police from harassing him and his friends, Olmos told the boy to gather his friends, approach the police and ask for a truce. That would be the way to make a difference. Âˇ Olmos spoke again on Monday at the Denver Press Club to promote a high school dropout prevention program sponsored by Cub Food~. He told high school students at the pres s conference that the students themselves must initiate the changes necessary to keep kids in school. "Students have to realize that the empowerment is in their hands," he said. He encouraged students to make suggestions and proposals to their school administrators. "There isn't a school in this country that wouldn't listen to their student body right now," he said, "because they're in dire need."

The 16th annual Denver International Film .I Festival, which ran from Oct. 14 through Oct. 21, brought glitter and Hollywood-like paparazzi to the city. The AMC Tivoli 12 Theatres in the Tivoli Student Union hosted most of the event. Nearly 150 films were shown during the eightday event. The festival featured films from around the globe, from Australia to Mexico to the former Yugoslavia. Classic films were shown along with contemporary American movies. Auraria students, who presented their student ID could take advantage of a $2 discount off the $7 ticket price. Tributes were made to moviemakers such as screenwriter Dalton Trumbo and director Robert M. Young. The opening night ceremony included the regional premiere of Robert Altman's new film "Short Cuts." Many of the shows were sold out and advance tickets were often the best way to assure moviegoers a seat. Organizers of the festival expected this year's event to be a big success.

Producer Lawrence Helman discusses his award-winning documentary "Sex is ... ," a film explaining sexuality in the lives of gay men.

'Sex is ... ' Examines Homosexual Lifestyles Robyn Schwartz COPY EDITOR

he documentary "Sex Is .. . ," arose out of the controversy surrounding the Robert Mapplethorpe exhibit funded by the National Endowment for the Arts, according to Lawrence Helman, co-producer of the film. A l<.>0k at sexuality in the lives of gay men, the film is facetiously dedicated to "the memory of [Sen.] Jesse Helms," one of the most vehement protesters of the NEA 's funding of any art portraying sexual acts, ~ particularly homosexual acts. Helman, who is in town for the screening of "Sex ls ... " at the 16th Annual Denver International Film Festival, spoke comfortably of the film that was three and a half years in the making. Helman said Marc Huestis, the creator and co-producer of "Sex ls .. " wanted to make an honest movie about what it means to be gay. "He [Huestis] said 'If we're going to do something, let's just do it, let' s < just show them what they are afraid of,"' Helman said. "He felt like the films that were coming out of Hollywood dealing with gay issues, films like 'Longtime .Companion' and 'Absolutely Positive,' they're good but

they're not dealing with sexuality." Helman said people are afraid of sex in general, not just homosexuality. He said there is plenty of soft-porn on soap operas, people are obsessed with talk shows about sex, but no one really wants to discuss the pros and cons of it honestly. "People are titillated by it ... , everyone can allude to it. Marc has this great quote, 'People want to look through the keyhole but they don't want to open the door."' "Sex Is ..." blasts that door wide open. The 15 men interviewed in the film sometimes use sexually explicit language, and brief but graphic footage of sexual acts are spliced intermittently into the dialogue. Helman said the film covers a cross-section of lifestyles, from gays living celibate lives, to men in monogamous relationships, to men who sleep with many partners to those who go to "safe-sex" clubs for gays. The film points out that gays are defined by their sexuality, and although they are much more than that, the film focuses on clarifying the diverse outlooks of what "Sex Is ... " The film won the Audience Award for Best Gay Film at the 1993 Berlin International Film Festival and will be playing again Dec. 3 through Dec. 7 at the Mayan Theatre.

Entertaining in 'Once Upon a ·Mattress'

Stacey Lowenberg

THE METROPOLITAN

It is interesting to watch actors having fun with a play. "Once Upon a Mattress" is loosely based on "The Princess and the Pea." Almost everyone knows the storyline of the medieval classic, but it is interesting to see how the characters develop and what actors shine through. The acting is spirited and the actors are well cast. Director Marilyn Hetzel keeps the play moving quickly and the set changes simple. The plot is classic - the queen decides that the prince will only marry a princess of royal blood. She begins the search for an authentic princess, but only half-heartedly because she really does not want to compete for her "baby boy's" affection. The queen then devises diabolical tests for the princess to pass. All the main characters are perfect in their roles. They seem to enjoy romping through the whimsical scenes. The actors are energetic and convincing. The orchestra consists of MSCD music majors playing drums, electric guitar, electric keyboard and piano. They are talented and help keep the play fastpaced and entertaining. All ages will enjoy the show because it is entertaining and light-hearted. Performances are October 21-23 and October 2830 at 7:30 p.m. and the matinee is on October 24 at 2:30 p.m. The play is in the MSCD Theatre in Arts Classroom 271. Tickets are $6 for adults, free for MSCD students with a student ID and $3 for students.

The Denver Gentlemen Come Home CoPIRG

THE METROPOLITAN

Alumni of the Tom Waits school of Blues, The Denver Gentlemen, after a stint in Los Angeles, are testing the waters of their borne turf by playing in some of the area's small clubs. On Oct. 7, the band played the Mercury Cafe at 2199 California St., performing before a sparse audience of 50 or less. But the lucky few inside were treated to a set of music that plundered the past in an achingly emotional way. From melancholy waltzes to countryish funeral marches, The Denver Gentlemen sound like the city Jack Kerouac fell in love with - the train yards, the dimly-lit bars, the hobos passing through - these settings and more are what the Denver Gentlemen are made of. Jeffrey Paul Norlander' s fiddle accompanied bis unusual , quavering falsetto. He also played a 1940s Montgomery Wards guitar that sometimes sounded like a handful of stones rattling in an aluminum box and an electric accordion that looked like a miniature Wurlitzer organ. Unusual, but strangely appropriate. Drummer Slim Cessna switched from Latin rhythms to Louisiana s wamp blues with ease, playing with brushes, not sticks, and singing a large share of the vocals himself. His bare-bones drum kit, the bassist 's huge stand-up bass and Norlander's quirky presence made the band look a bit like the Violent Femmes used to look but rock ' n' roll is one territory the Gentlemen didn't explore. KTCL-FM and KUBO-TV have made the Mere the new location for the Musiclink program. The show was videotaped and excerpts will appear later this month on Musiclink, KUBO-TV channel 59.

Cloris Leachman steals the show with her performance of Granny. I spent most of my time comparing the new faces to the old. I can see why Spheeris candidly recalled the casting as "totally brutal." It was a no-win situation for producers who were dealing with the memories of a few million baby boomers who can recite the theme song in a heart beat. It's those same baby bc.•omers who will spend millions to see the film. The producers were lucky to cast Oscar-winner Cloris Leachman as Granny , the only choice for the role. Leachman stole the show with her unbelievable resemblance to the original granny and cranky but lovable granny mannerisms. Unfortunately, Leachman's paxt seemed small in comparison to Granny's TV role. Granny was the glue that held the TV family together. In the

movie, Leachman has more of an extended cameo appearance. Spheeris chose Jim Varney (Ernest P. Worrell) for the role of Jed. While Varney resembles Buddy Ebsen, all I could see was Ernest - not Jed. It was more like "Ernest Goes to Beverly Hills." Somewhere he missed Ebsen's slow gentle demeanor. But for those who truly miss Ebsen, he reprises his role of '70s Detective Barnaby Jones - theme music and all - in a brief cameo where he helps Miss Jane trace down a missing Granny. Of course the Beverly Hillbillies would not be the same without Miss Jane. Lily Tomlin plays Miss Jane Hathaway, the ever-efficient secretary to Dabney Coleman's Mr. Drysdale. Tomlin, who

Movie Updates 'The Beverly Hillbillies' Saga

America has continued its obsession with big screen versions of silly '60s television shows with "The Beverly Hillbillies." Once again, Hollywood producers who cannot seem to discover an original idea, resort to popular '60s television. A fun trip down memory lane or just writer's block? Who knows? But with the success of the "Batman" and "Addams Family" movies, what does Hollywood have to loose? Whatever Penelope Spheeris' motives were, the producer of "Wayne's World" did a remarkable job of recreating the story of the beloved country bumpkins' famous move to La La Land. While the plot may be predictable, the fish-outof-water story is delightful, and watching this new film against the old backdrop will transport many a baby boomer back to his or her childhood. The opening scene where Jed chases the rabbit into the swamp is virtually the same as the scene in the series. And seeing all those Clampetts wave goodbye was quite the nostalgic touch. Deja vu.

'The Beverly HillbiHies' as i. t Qui. ts Fun and Silly as the Series HILLBILLIES from page 20 played Coleman's secretary in "Nine to Five," again outshines her inept, pompous boss. Tomlin captures the mannerisms of the original Miss Hathaway: the organized, professional, uptight and sexually repressed secretary who lusts after Jethro. "Oh, you 're so delightfully primitive," she coos from her computer. Tomlin's boss, Dabney Coleman's nervous Mr. Drysdale, came across as Dabney Coleman doing a Mr. Drysdale impersonation. Occasionally he lost Drysdale's famous twitch and reminded me more of the ruthless boss of "Nine to Five ." He did, however, capture the original Drysdale ' s greediness and desperation to keep Clampett's money in the bank when he agreed to let Jethro play bank vice president. Of course we have the cuties - EUy May (Erika Eleniak) and Jethro (Diedrich Bader). I was surprised that a "Wayne's World" producer didn't exploit gorgeous Elly May's fine form. Keeping true to the TV series, Elly May remained the sexy

innocent country bumpkin who still "rassells bars." EUy May remains pure to her legions of lusting male fans with the exception of appearing at Jed's birthday party in a painted-on, low-cut black evening dress, compliments of sinister Lea Thompson. By this time, Thompson has maneuvered her way into the Clampett household as a phony French governess in an attempt to woo Jed. And finally Jethro. My crush on the original may have had something to do with the fact that this Jethro was a little too much for me. The original Jethro was so wonderful at being stupid, that it would take near comic genius to captuae the original's natural stupidity and awkwardness. The new Jethro does a great job on his accent, but the goofiness, the silliness, the plain dumbness that made the TV Jethro, seemed a little forced. ' Despite the endless comparisons, the movie is as silly and as fun as the original television series. So if you happen to be waxing nostalgic for a '60s sitcom, I suggest that you load 'em up and head to Beverly! A three star movie.

SHOUID REIATIONSHIPS ALWAYS BE ROMANTIC? Dear M.C. I haue been in a "loue" relationship for ouer two years. We are currently living together, but I am not sure how Jong I can stay in the relationship. Our relationship started out so nicely. We were infatuated and loyal to each other. We planned all of our activities together. Anytime someone asked me to go out and socialize with them, I air.pays included my 'true love' in my plans. Somehow, though, those sparks are disappearing from our relationship ... we are becoming more independent. My "true love" plans activities without me, and we do not seem to be a priority to each other anymore... school and work sometimes seem to be more important than each other. Do all relationships turn out like this one? Should I not expect passion in our relationship? Does passion wear off? I think I'm still in love, and I think my "true /oue " still loves me. We still respect each other and still help each other, and I know that in my heart I could count on my partner whenever I am in trouble. Am I expecting too much in this relationship, that is, to keep those intense emotions that we felt for each other when we first met?

Signed, Frustrated

Dear Frustrated, Thank you for sharing your frustrations of this relationship. It is not uncommon for relationships to get "stuck". Jn fact, you have described the scenario of many relationships. The question that you need to ask yourself, however, is whether or not you would like to stay in this relationship. Before you begin trying to answer that question, there is some information about relationships that may ~ helpful to you. Most couples, when asked what brought them together, say they are in "love" with their partner. They say that they had a strong positive attraction for the other: however, this attraction is oftentimes misleading. Contrary to romantic myth, these passionate relationships are not made in heaven. Romance in relationships is not necessarily a realistic expectation. And, choosing a partner is not a rational process. Researchers tend to agree that choosing a partner stems from the unconscious levels of the mind. John Bradshaw, psychologist, says that oftentimes we unconsciously choose mates based on the relationships that we wanted but did not get as a child. He says that we should not discount the notion that our mates are similar to our parents. When couples enter a relationship, they have automatically set up a contract with each other. This contract exists on a minimum of three levels: 1. a conscious, verbalized level wherein persons tell their partner about the type of relationship they expect. 2. a conscious but unverbalized level in which the individuals know what they hope and expect to give and receive in the relationship and 3 . an unconscious and unverbalized set of expectations for the relationship. In terms of your relationship, it sounds like you two have some real positive elements in your relationship. You have the respect and care for each other, and, you both love each other. Additionally, it sounds like you have certain expectations for your relationship. Have you discussed these expectations with your partner? You may want to try to set up a verbalized or written contract with each other as to expectations. Discuss the issue of romance, and again, your expectations. Remember how the two of you met, and don't be afraid to be spontaneous. If the two of you do not come to some agreements, couples counseling would be a good alternative. In couples counseling, you explore the relationship with an unbiased person, and that therapist helps you both decide on the outcome of the relationship. Expectations of the partner are common themes in couples counseling. H the two of you believe that couples counseling is not appropriate, you also have the option of individual counseling. During individual counseling, you will explore the patterns that you have established in relationships and the rationale for those choices. Either way, you will be able to make a decision concerning your relationship and, more just as significant. you will understand more about yourself. Thanks for writing Metro Connections. Letters are welcome! Please send letters to campus box 05 or bring to the MSCD Counseling Center. CN 203

Local CPAs, government agencies, professional organizations and private industry representatives will be present to discuss career paths and future employment opportunities.

Volleyball Cleans Up·at MSCD Invitational Thompson Named Most Valuable Player ofTourny Duncan Burgermeister STAFF WRITER

The MSCD women's volleyball team continued its dominant pl~y over the weekend, winning all five of their match... es, including four in the Metro State Invitational tournament. Thursday the fourth-ranked Roadrunners defeated 25th-ranked Regis in four games, 15-9, 15-10, 15-7, 15-13. The victory over the Raiders served as a tune-up for a four game sweep of tournament play on Friday and Saturday. MSCD ) began the tournament with a win over Chadron State, 15-9, 15-17, 15-8, 15-12. Canada According to Coach Rhonda McMullen, Chadron was "the surprise team" of the tournament. The Eagles were the only team to force MSCD to four games, something

McMullen felt was a case of the opponent "being up" for the Roadrunners. "Every team we come up against plays out of their minds," McMullen said. "They [the opponent] have nothing to lose." A f e r defeating Chadron , MSCD beat Mesa State, 1512, 12-5, 15-9. Terrell T h e Mavericks, traditionally a volleyball power, were no match for the Roadrunners. MSCD kept Mesa and their star, Amy Miller, in check and were never challenged. On Saturday MSCD easily defeated Fort Hays State in three games and finished off the tournament with a win over Adams State, 15-4. 15-10, 15-9. McMullen was not surprised by her teams success in the tournament. "We should dominate those teams, none of them are ranked," she said. McMullen felt her team came togeth-

er over the weekend, and is playing its best volleyball of the season. "We're playing really well as a team right now. Everything is starting to gel," she said. McMullen said she expected to win these games because of the talented athletes on her team. " In reality there are only three teams in the nation that should beat us," she said. "We are a very athletic group that can do a variety of things," she said. "This is a fun team to coach." Senior Tracy Thompson was named the tournament's Most Valuable Player. Lora Houdek and Wynema Hunter, also seniors, were selected to the All-Tournament team. Juniors Chelsea Terrell and Crissy Canada also made outstanding plays during the tournament. Even with all the success, McMullen still feels the Roadrunners can be better. "We still need improvement on our defense, serving and serve The Metropolitan/Andy Cross receiving," McMullen said. "But Tracy Thompson keeps opponents on overall we are very strong."

Marcus C. Dunn THE METROPOLITAN

With two starting defensive players sidelined and the No.l goal keeper playing injured, the men's soccer team lost to Colorado Christian University. CCU, who is in last place in the CAC, scored the go-ahead goal in overtime breaking the 1-1 stalemate of regulation play. Leonard Trujillo made the one Roadrunner score on a penalty kick. Red card citations prevented Nat Cooke and Greg Oakley, the Roadrunner ' s top marking backs, from playing in the CCU game. As Cooke and

Oakley sat helpless, the team and injured goal keeper, Andy Mosier, gave up three goals. Filling in for the starting marking backs were senior Paul Mackin, who normally plays mid-fielder, and second string freshman Cullen Lyle. MSCD Coach Al Ashton said the duo produced a strong performance. "It was a nice surprise," Ashton said. "They played a smart defense." Mosier, who suffered a hairline fracture of the fibula during the West Texas State game last Sunday, aggravated the fracture during the CCU game, causing the fibula to break and another bone in the ankle to follow suit.

Marcus C. Dunn THE METROPOLITAN

The three game losing streak that had plagued the men's soccer team ended Sunday as the Roadrunners shutout number one ranked Fort Lewis College, 3-0 in regulation play. "This was a big win for us," said MSCD Coach Al Ashton, "a big win." The victory came off a tough week when the team lost its top marking backs to red cards and it's starting goalkeeper to an ankle injury. Greg Oakley and Nat Cooke sat out against CCU to serve penalty time from the West Texas game, but played full-force against Fort Lewis. "Those guys are the heart of the team," said mid-fielder Paul Mackin Hurt goalie Andy Mosier's replace-

Mosier had the ankle checked out Thursday morning, since it was too swollen for an ex amination on Wednesday evening. By the Thursday afternoon practice, Mosier was donning a knee-high cast on his right leg. "I knew I messed it up," Mosier said, " but I also knew as soon as I had it checked out I'd be done." And done he is. Mosier will be out eight weeks, lasting through the end of the soccer season, jeopardizing the team ' s No. 3 defensive ranking. Bryan Johnston will be the starter for the Sunday home game. Ashton categorized the CCU match as a tough and disappointing loss.

ment was first time starter Bryan Johnston . Johnston defended the Roadrunner goal to assist in blanking Fort Lewis. "The second-string keeper did a great job," said Fort Lewis Head Coach Jeremy Fishbein. "This is the first time we've been shut-out this season. Metro played really hard and we give them a lot of credit." And in giving credit, the offense deserves a lot. The first scoreboard labor came from Billy Kawamura, with the goal and Brett Ryals with the assist; and the second with Vinny Seymour, in the net and Kawamura serving up the good will. The last score of the game came from the Trujillo-Mackin combination. Mackin modestly claims he did nothing more then

use his head on the score. "Leonard (with a comer kick) just placed it there for me," Mackin said. "I barely bad to move then headed it in (the act of using your bead to hit the ball)." Fort Lewis College, who beat MSCD 4-2 in the last pairing, drops to a first place tie with Regis College, according to Fishbein. "The Regis game will be the toughest game of the year," Mackin said. The last match-up ended in a 2-1 victory for MSCD. "It was comfortable to beat the first place team," Ashton said, referring to Ft. Lewis. "It's good to know we can beat anyone in the conference." The Roadrunners now have a 5-5-2 record for the season.

THE METROPOLITAN

Hancock Ready for Strain, 1993 Season Chris Stein t.

THE METROPOLITAN

Whether in movies or real life, people love to see the underdog overcome adversity and win. The MSCD men's basketball team has·this sort of story brewing. But because the Roadrunners look to finish high in the Colorado Athletic Conference, the team is not the underdog. This story is about one player, Chuck Hancock. In his first year of college, Hancock earned a spot on the Adams State basketball squad, getting a partial scholarship after being a walk-on. With a lack of playing time and dealing with, what he called "bead games" by the coach, Hancock left the team. Upon leaving Adams State, his plan was to eventually transfer to Colorado State University and play basketball there. He decided to go to MSCD for his semester of ineligibility. He never got to CSU. Hancock, 6 feet 5 inches and 230 pounds, tried out for the Roadrunners and earned a spot on the team as a reserve. - During the first half of the season Hancock was only seeing minutes of "trash time." But because of team injuries, he was able to get substantial time during a game against Eastern Montana. "Coach Hull looked at me and said 'Chuck, get in' like be was reluctant to do it," he said. Hancock did the most with his opportunity and, "after that, he wasn't afraid to put me in." In the second half of the season, be

was playing 20 minutes a game, helping the Roadrunners win the CAC title. Injuries hit MSCD bard the next year. Hancock, playing two and three guard, was given quality minutes and started the last seven games of the season. At the end of the year he was voted best defensive player on the team. Hancock Although be is known as being a hard-nosed defensive player, Hancock came up with some dramatic scoring scenes during his sophomore and junior seasons. During a triple overtime game against Fort Lewis when a teammate missed the winning shot, Hancock was able to get up and tip the shot in, beating the buzzer. "Actually, I think I got it off after the buzzer," he said. Hancock did the same thing the next year, scoring a winning layup during an 80-79 overtime victory against Regis University. Last year MSCD fell short of winning the CAC title, but Hancock attributes it to more than just injuries. "Guys would get real competitive in practice and start yelling at each other. It carried over into the games." Looking at the upcoming season,

Hancock said his main goal is to win the CAC title. "We have the potential to go beyond," he said. One of the dreaded games is against California State University at Bakersfield. The defending Division II National Champions lost only one player from last year's team and look to be the Roadrunners' toughest opponent. MSCD bas bad seven straight winning seasons under Coach Hull, and Hancock does not think that will change with new Head Coach Joe Strain. "He knows what he's doing. He knows how to get us to win." "Last year I was voted the best defensive player on the team, and Coach Strain told us the top five defensive players are going to start." Hancock does not think that he has been blessed with a lot of "God-given talent," but said he makes up for itln desire. "I just played as bard as I can. It feels good to go out and give a full effort." "When I see guys who have a lot more athletic ability than me it makes me mad when they don't give a full effort. They think they can just get by with what they have." Recently , a former teammate told Hancock that he thinks Hancock has a chance to play professionally overseas. "If the opportunity came I would probably take it," he said, but added, "I don't think my chances are real good." For a person who bas played the role of the underdog to its fullest, his chances might be better than be thinks.
