Travel Task Force Deems Student Gov't Behavior 'Unacceptable' Jeffrey Michael Martinez THE METROPOLITAN

路~-

A special Student Government task force called the conduct of eight Student Government members and another MSCD student who attended student fee-paid conference in Los Angeles "unacceptable" and recommended sanctions against the students. The task force, made up of ASMSCD Sens. Marshall Michael, Sabrina Salazar and David N. Sneed II, and Student Government Adviser Maggie Miller, imposed sanctions ranging from campus service to participation in group management workshops. The task force recommended that if sanctions are not completed by the beginning of spring break, the students will be dismissed from Student Government membership or barred from future membership. The task force formulated a formal travel policy that with Student Senate approval "sets clear expectations for conduct and attendance and describes clearly the various Bates roles of trip participants," Miller said. The policy also outlines sanctions for misconduct. Miller said this policy applies only to ASMSCD travel , not to other club trips through the Student Affairs Student Travel Program. "But we feel so good about it, we hope they'll adopt it," she said. Student Trustee Matthew Bates, one of the participants in the United States Student Association conference, complimented the task force for their effort in issuing the report but said he was "outraged" at the recommendation of sanctions. "I have no problem with them looking at a travel policy or proposing a new policy," Bates said. "In fact, I think they've done a good job and put a lot of time and effort into it. My only concern is their post-travel report, and their sanctioning and recommended actions, and the way they've reached those [recommendations]." The task force came to its conclusions after five weeks of meetings, during which they reviewed

Student Delivers Baby-For a Price Antoinette Vecchio NEWS EDITOR

For one MSCD student, the cost of being a good Samaritan is high-$2,000 in jewelry. Stacy Burrows, 20, a Denver police safety cadet and a criminal justice and criminology major, was on her way to a training ses sion around 5 p .m . Oct. 21 when she was flagged down by a man on Speer Boulevard near Seventh Street. Burrows The man's wife, Christine Hines, 26, was lying under a tree and was in labor. Burrows said she has never delivered a baby, but relied on her own experience of having a baby five months ago. "The baby came so fast that I didn't have time to think," she said. Right before Burrows delivered the baby, she took off her rings, a wedding set worth $1,100 and a marquis amethyst worth $900, and gave the rings to Hines' husband, she said. That was the last time she saw the rings. "I gave him my rings to hold. He was sitting next to me ... and I told him to hold my rings while I was delivering the baby and he said 'OK,"' Burrows said. After Burrows delivered the baby, a girl, she said she asked the husband to go into her truck and get a baby blanket because it was getting cold. About 10 minutes later, an ambulance arrived and took the mother and baby to the hospital, Burrows said. It was

not until Burrows was cleaning up when she realized her rings were gone. She said she attempted to catch the husband as he was leaving in a Denver police car to Denver General Hospital, where the mother was being taken. When Burrows arrived at the hospital, Hines informed her that her husband had left for his mother's house to tell her about the birth, Burrows said. When she and a sergeant arrived at the apartment complex, Burrows asked the man what he had done with the rings. "He wouldn ' t look us in the eye at all," she said. "He just said 'well, I put them in your truck. I put them on the front seat of your truck."' Burrows said she and the sergeant

searched the truck "over every little hole, every little crack that you can imagine," but could not find the rings. Police could not locate the husband who was not at the apartment complex nor at the hospital. Police advised Hines to tell her husband to go to the police theft unit on Friday, Burrows said. Hines never showed up there. After contacting his wife at the hospital to name the baby, the husband told Hines he may have laid the rings in the grass. Burrows, her husband and her mother searched the area for the rings but did not find them.

TRAVEL from page 1 Miller's notes from interviews with the students who attended the conference. "They met in closed sessions, and they formed the allegations and they decided what people were to be accused of. Fair process has been thrown out the window," Bates said. Bates said he intends to file a judicial restraining order to temporarily keep the sanctions from being implemented by the Student Senate. Chief Justice and Judicial Board Member Gerald Marsh said he expects the board will not allow the Senate to apply any of the recommended sanctions until there is a full trial to review the allegations and the report. No names were listed in the report, which said the task force found it unethical to accuse the students publicly of the alleged behavior. However, The Metropolitan published all the names in its Aug. 27 issue. The report cited that at least seven students who attended the conference attended less than 60 percent of available workshops and activities. The conference cost more than $5,000 in student fees. In addition, the report said two individuals went on the trip but did not participate in the conference. The report said that "as a result of irresponsible drinking, some individuals behaved in a way not appropriate to representatives of MSCD." Also criticized was the organization of the trip. The task force report singled out "the leader of the trip," with not holding individuals of the trip to expectations outlined before their departure. Future implementation aside, one administration official involved with student government, Yolanda Ericksen, said she is pleased the report is completed and said she is hopeful that much of the report and the new travel policy will be adopted by the Student Senate. Ericksen, MSCD assistant dean for Student Life, said that while no one doubts that inappropriate behavior took place, the task force took a positive step toward taking respofisibility for the actions of the students. "I'm glad [the Senate] took it upon themselves to look into this," Ericksen said, "I think that it was a good response to student reaction. Students in general felt there was something fishy going on with their student fees, so I congratulate them." Miller also said she was pleased with the Senate and in particular, with the task force. "The task force worked hard and was ·very thoughtful," Miller said, "and I think it demonstrates the potential dedication for student government members." Bates, however, remains adamant that members of the delegation were treated unfairly in the process. "I have no personal problems with any of the individuals [on the task force]," Bates said, "I just don't feel that these students had the preparation or the background or the support in the educational process they needed to perform the duty they were asked to perform."

The Metropolitan/Chas Gordon Mexico's Consuf General Leonardo Ffrench makes reference to a recent newspaper article about the proposed free trade agreement.

Mexican Official Speaks out on Benefits of NAFTA Marcus C. Dunn THE METROPOLITAN

Mexico's Consul General Leonardo Ffrench outlined benefits of the North American Free Trade Agreement Oct. 27, at an Auraria Campus forum sponsored by the University of Colorado at Denver. "NAFfA lowers tariffs to zero for products coming into Mexico and lowers tariffs to zero for products coming into the U.S.," Ffrench said. "The agreement limits Mexico car imports to 1,000 per year and makes it easier for U.S. companies to invest in Mexico." "The world is shrinking," Ffrench said. ''The E.C. [Economic Community] is led by Germany the Pacific Rim by Japan ... by approving NAFTA, North America wilJ become the largest and richest free-trade region in the world." Ffrench discussed the popular U.S. criticisms of the agreement by giving his country's view on environmental impact, poverty and loss of U.S. jobs, and said the agreement would inevitably lead to a rise in the Mexican standard of living. "Poverty is the worst enemy of the environment," Ffrench said. "When people have a higher income, people have more time to take care of the environment

and then levels of pollution decrease." Addressing the concerns of U.S. border states, Ffrench said NAFfA would ensure good jobs in Mexico, which would " in turn reduce the number of undocumented immigrants to the United States. "It is common sense to a Mexican to stay in their country if good jobs are available, Ffrench said. "We [the Mexican Government] want to keep those ambitious workers in Mexico. Those are the people who want to work." On the loss of U.S. jobs, an issue that most concerns U.S. labor unions, Ffrench said the United States is already loosing jobs to migrant workers and to other countries who have cooperative production agreements. "The United States is already loosing markets to Japan who actually produces five percent of what they export through production sharing agreements," Ffrench said. "Most of the production occui;.c; in • lower wage areas like Singapore. NAFTA would give the United States a competitive edge to recoup those markets." Ffrench said if it did not approve NAFTA, the United States would be giv' ing up a unique opportunity, an opportu- , , nity Germany or Japan would likely seize.

MSCD Professor Relates Belfast Bombing MSCDSpeech Communication Professor Gary Holbrook was in Belfast, Northern fer/and as a visiting lecturer at Trinity College in Dublin when a _ _.. bombing took Holbrook place. Holbrook phoned in this story.

Sat. Oct. 23, at 1:15 p.m. during a busy lunch time shopping period, two men in white overalls walked into a busy shopping center on the Sbankill Road in Belfast and left a bomb in a box on the floor of Frizzell's fish shop. As the men fled out the door, the bomb exploded burying people within a 20-yard radius under tons of rubble, killing 10 and injuring 56. One of the bombers was killed in the blast. His fellow IRA terrorist is under hospital arrest. An IRA spokesperson said the bombing was a mistake as they were attempting to bomb the officers of the

Ulster Defense Association. Of the l 0 who were killed in the bombing, nine of them were shopping in or near the fish shop. The bomb killed Evelyn Baird, 27, her 7-year-old daughter, Michelle, and her husband, Michael Morrison, who was on his way to buy a wreath for bis father's funeral. Survivors were Evelyn Baird's 9-year-old son, Darren, who was home babysitting his 6week-old sister, Lauran. George Williamson, 63, and his wife Gillian, 49, were killed on their way to buy curtains for their new home; Leanne Murray, 13, from nearby Silvio Street had just left her

mother Gina to go to the fish shop where she later was found underneath the rubble of the bomb blast. Mr. Frizzell, 63 , the owner of the fish shop, was behind the counter with his daughter Sharon McBride, 29, who only worked Saturday, the busiest day of the week. Her husband, Alan, was home with their 2-year-olddaughter, Zoe, when the bomb went off leveling the shop. The bombing was intended assumedly for a group known as the Ulster Freedom Fighters, who met above the bombed fish store. In recent months the Ulster Freedom Fighters have murdered 20 Catholics. It is thought that the IRA bombing was predicated on gaining support from IRA supporters in Belfast's Catholic ghettos. Sinn Fein President Jerry Adams, elected leader of the Sinn Fein party and main spokesperson for the IRA; said Sunday evening that the IRA attack was "wrong" and that the massacre "bad made a difficult situation even worse." The Republic of Ireland government refused to accept Adams' comments and demanded that Adams declare a total end of violence by the IRA. This Saturday incident is the most serious since the Poppy Day bombings, which killed 11 and injured 23 in Enniskillen, Northern Ireland in 1987. Saturday's bombing cast a devastating cloud over any further negotiations ·having any real impact on IRA terrorist activities. A silent peace vigil will be held in Belfast and Dublin Wednesday, Oct. 27, in memory of those innocent victims who lost their lives Saturday during shopping for their families.

Meeting Briefs Tivoli Planning Committee Oct. 25, 1993 • Discussed the alternatives if expected revenue is not met to pay bonds: Either cut expenses or raise student fees. If student bond fees are raised $1, revenues wm raise about $75,000 per year. • Discussed how and when to promote the Tivoli Student Union.

Federal Reserve Bank Privately Owned My question is one that goes unanswered, and I have yet to find anyone who will answer it. Why in its 60-year history has the Federal Reserve System never been subjected to a complete, independent audit? Is it because the Federal Reserve Bank is privately owned by the few elite multinational corporations that receives no funding from the United States Congress (Lewis vs. U.S. Federal Reporter, 2nd series, pg. 1240).

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ·OPINIONS INSIGHT

-·

Everyone is a Real Student: Non-Traditional, Traditional I was shocked and appalled by an opinion piece printed in the Oct. 22 issue of The Metropolitan, "Real Students need to get involved in Campus Leadership." I found the piece reeking of ageism and filled with inaccurate generalizations about "younger" or traditional students attending MSCD. I'll be the first one to admit that one of the wonderful aspects of MSCD is that the student population is diverse. Students represent all age groups, races, ethnicities and socio-economic backgrounds. Every student, regardless of his/her demographics has something to offer inside and outside of the classroom. While the statistics presented were accurate, the insinuation that previous problems experienced by student organizations were due to the fact that the students did not fit the description of "non-traditional" students is offensive. I fail to see the connection between a student's misconduct and his or her age. It has been my experience at MSCD that both competent and

incompetent student leaders come in all ages. We are all REAL students, whether we are 18 or 68. I do not want to minimize the tremendous effort and dedication it takes for those who are working, raising families, and attending school. But, I think it is fair to say that each student works to overcome obstacles and challenges from a variety of sources to make it through school. At MSCD we can find strength in our diversity. Every student has something valuable that he/she can contribute. These contributions should not be more valuable or less valuable because of his/her age. One generation does not have all the answers. But maybe if all the generations work together, we can find them.

Career Exploration Day Positive Experience for Most Participants Career Exploration Day, which was held on September 22, 1993 in the Auraria Student Union, is a joint effort of the administrators, faculty, staff and students from CCD, MSCD, and UCO. It is designed for students and alumni from the three institutions so they may explore careers, attend career and job related workshops, have their resumes critiqued and have access to over 50 employers to discuss aspects of careers in their company. Some of the businesses may have actual job openings and all are there to discuss career options as the title of the Day states - "Career Exploration Day." It is not a "Job Fair" as the headline indicates in the article, "Students Claim Age Discrimination at Job Fair" which was in the October 15, 1993 issue of The Metropolitan. At Career Exploration Day we try to serve our diverse students and graduates in the best way possible with employers who typically hire individuals with Certificates from CCD to PhDs at UCO. We invite more than 400 employers and the employer then decides if the Day serves their present and future employment needs. Over the past 11 years, employers have attended Career Day and participated in On-Campus Recruiting due to the fact that our students are more mature and diverse. As for the allegations the individuals mentioned in the article regarding age discrimination, two representatives said they have hired many individuals over 50 years of age. One of the employer representatives said, "I hired a 53-year-old just the other day. We never ask age before we hire!" The other employer representative said "We enter our ·clients

into the database by job skills, and when a job comes in, we match it by the job skills only. We do not know the age, gender or race of the individual." Career Services also operates under strict EEO guidelines and we do not work with employers who do not adhere to these rules. There were over 50 employers and 2,500 students and graduates from CCD, MSCD, and UCO in attendance at the Day. We are proud to say that we have received many excellent and positive comments from students, alumni, and employers who attended the Day. The Career Exploration Day Committee expends a great deal of effort and time into this yearly project to serve a very diverse population with various levels of expertise, knowledge, age, race, gender and college degrees. I personally called and talked with the alumnus, John Barlow. I was unable to reach Tom Lyons by telephone. I invite them both to come to Career Services in Arts 177 and we will be more than happy to show them other options for job search through our office such as the Job Notebooks, Resume Referral Service. On-Campus Recruiting, Alumni Network, employer information, Career Days for specific majors and employment workshops. We will continue our efforts to serve our students and alumni in the most professional and timely manner possible. Thank you!

When they returned, the group compiled a catalog of the artwork they t l developed after their trip. The art became an exhibit that will be displayed at the University of Colorado Art Galleries in Boulder from Oct. 1 through Nov. 6, and at the Museum of Latino Art and History from Nov. 12 through Dec. 4. "Our journey had a two-fold purpose: to experience the Day of the Dead as it was celebrated by the indigenous people of Mexico and to share these experiences with others through an exhibition whereby visual artists preserved its cultural

all-night vigil, waiting for the dead to return to visit with the living. "During the night, families stand around singing the dead' s favorite songs or religious songs," Lucero said. "It's very communal and there is a sense of heightened collective consciousness." Nov. 2 is All Souls' Day when the dead return to the underworld. The day begins with an early morning mass and then the families go back to the cemeteries to finish cleaning and decorating the graves. Tony Ortega, a visual artist who was part of the group who went to Michoacan, said, "The experience was very moving and spiritual. My perception of the celebration completely changed. I thought it was more whimsical - making fun of death. I think it's a day for the living to take time out as a family and a community to remember their loved ones." Lucero said, "I think this experience better enabled us to recognize our identity and recapture our past. We brought back, through artistic interpretation, the sacredness of the event."

Breaking the Glass Walls Surrounding Education is the Goal of Conferenee with Kaplan and Marable Robyn Schwartz COPY EDITOR

MSCD President Sheila Kaplan and former CU-Boulder professor and scholar Manning Marable led discussions for a conference at Auraria on gender and ethnic diversity in higher education. The conference, dubbed "Breaking the Glass Wall: Women and Men in Communication" spanned the entire day on Oct. 22, in the Student Union mezzanine. Kaplan's keynote speech stressed that presidents at universities and colleges have the power to focus their institution' s agenda toward diversity. "Let me say at the outset that my personal goal is to significantly increase the number of women and minority administrators. A few are not enough." Both Kaplan and Marable addressed the problem "token" minorities in positions of authority, noting that in the '60s, there were a lot of minorities placed as representatives of their races. "These reforms should have represented a beginning, rather than the end," Marable said in his keynote speech. Marable focused on redefining multiculturalism and to recognizing that we are all in some way "outsiders." "We must go beyond the traditional definitions of "diversity... to redefine the core or the mainstream of the academy's

Accounting Student S~arts Her Summer Job in October . Lisa Perry THE METROPOLITAN

Robin Baldwin's summer job won't be a day at the beach. The MSCD accounting student will have plenty of sunshine24 hours a day-but temperatures will range from 35 degrees below zero to 20 above. Her new summer home is so remote that residents keep up with news by watching taped telecasts-four days late. Baldwin left Denver on Oct. l to begin a job "on the ice" at McMurdo Station, Antarctica, a community of 1,800 U.S. naval and civilian personnel. She will be working in McMurdo's finance department until March, for the duration of Antarctica's summer season. Baldwin applied not just because of the work she will be doing. "I'm doing it for the adventure and the excitement," she said. "Less than 50,000 people have ever set foot on the continent of Antarctica, and I thought it would be fascinating to be one. "Plus, it's a real excellent way to save money. A lot of the expenses are paid for you. You don't have to pay for housing, your food, (or) transportation." Baldwin was sent to McMurdo by Antarctic Support Associates, a government contract firm in Englewood that supports scientific research operations. Her living arrangements will be similar to those of a college dormitory, and

While most applicants go through two or three interviews, Norris said Baldwin "proved herself' while working at ASA. Even then, she had to wait more than a year before being sent to McMurdo.

Two days before she was sched~led to leave, her bags were packed, her car was in storage. "It's the calm before the storm," she said. "I'm really excited and really nervous," Baldwin said about leaving. "It just seems that it's been a long time coming, and all of a sudden it's two days away ...l'm ready for it." Baldwin said she will be in Antarctica until March l, and then she'll do some traveling in New Zealand. She plans to resume accounting studies at MSCD next summer.

Do people wonder what children think when they are _sexually abused? It seems like society is more concerned with what they want the child to think or feel? Unfortunately, I have been unable to read, hear, or see anything in the media that addresses the issue of how a child feels. At present, I feel isolated. I wonder, " Am I the only child who did not experience pain, but rather the unspeakable, the unthinkable, the unforgivable, pleasure of the experience ?' That word hangs on me like shame. It has taken me about 30 years to finally forgive myself for something that wasn't my fault to begin with. As a small child, I had an Uncle sexually take advantage of me. I think I repressed this memory for so many years, not only because I was told to keep it a secret, but I was ashamed that I wasn't supposed to enjoy it. As I became older, I came to realize that what I should have felt was pain. Even though I was a child, I understood that the feelings I had were different and "wrong." I despised myself for many years because of these feelings. Now, I am trying to see myself as a child and realize that those feelings I had as a child were ok, weren't they? When I think of this experience, I feel pain for myself and for others who have had similar experiences.

Signed, Feeling Isolated

Dear Feeling Isolated, Thank you for sharing this traumatic experience. I know that others might have some of those same feelings. Your uncle did abuse you whether or not you were feeling physical or emotional pain at the time. The confusion in the media seems to have magnified your problems and made you feel like you were bad for not having guilty feelings. Remember that sex can be a pleasurable experience. In dealing with sexual abuse, oftentimes experts as well as media sometimes ignore this notion. You are accurate in believing that society stresses "pain" of the victim. Additionally, society emphasized the innocence of the child; therefore, children do not quite know how to deal with a perpetrator. Also, children go through many different developmental stage and they develop a natural curiosity to adult pleasures. Oftentimes, they are precociously stimulated. In addition, children also look for adult attachments ... someone to tell them that they are okay, and that they are loved. In turn, children will do many different things to gain attention, acceptance, and love. When they are able to gain this acceptance from an adult attachment, they feel pleasure. Researchers have established many different theories concerning sexual abuse. Mary deYoung, therapist, explains·the situation in terms of the "good touch/bad touch dilemma. " She explains that it is difficult for young children to learn boundaries because of their inabilities to judge a person's character. Children "automatically" trust adults. According to therapist, Lucy Berliner, the abused child is victimized by the adult because the adult oftentimes justifies the sexual contact with the child in terms of affection and acceptance. Rnally, researchers agree that it is not uncommon for the victim to repress the experience into adulthood. Sexual abuse has been labeled as a traumatic experience; however, the trauma may not be a trauma of lasting pain. Sexual abuse is a complicated issue. Your feelings are valid...they are your feelings. Thank you for your honesty. If there are other readers who have had a similar experience, we welcome your letter(s) to help everyone better understand sexual abuse. Thanks for writing to Metro Connections. Letters are welcome! Please send letters to Campus Box 05 or bring to MSCD Counseling Center, CN 203.

The Metropolitan!Andy Cross

Dr. Oneida Mascarenas, MSCD politicat science professor, speaks about hunger at the World Reality Lunch sponsored by CoPIRG.

Demonstrating the uneven distribution of food in the world, CoPIRG held a World Reality Lunch on Oct. 20. Sixty people attended the lunch event including students, staff and state legislators. Mirroring the unevenness of world food distribution, 60 percent of the attendees received the least nutritious meal of rice and water; 25 percent

received noodles, tomato sauce, bread and water; and only 15 percent received the most nutritious meal of vegetarian pasta salad and iced tea. Professors Dr. Oneida Mascarenas and Charles Angeletti spoke at the event about the politics of hunger. Worldwide, 20 million people die from hunger-related causes yearly, including 40,000 children daily.

WALL from page 16 central mission for itself." Kaplan and Marable participated later in the day on panels intended to promote audience participation. Kaplan spoke on "Women and Men in Communication: Invisible Partners in Higher Education." Marable participated in the discussion of "Minority Issues: The Reshaping of Higher Education. Colorado Sen. Regis Groff, assistant professor for MSCD Political Science department, Oneida Mascarenas, and Elyse Yamauchi, assistant to the associate vice president for Human Resources and Finance and the Benefits Administration at MSCD, also spoke on the panel. Marable, formerly of CU-Boulder, is now a political science and history professor at Columbia University in New York City . He is also the director of the In stitute for Research in African American Studies at Columbia. Marable said he remembers Jim Crowe segregations, when a black person could not sit down in a restaurant. "What Jim Crowe was to me was a series of stupid inconveniences, more than anything else," he said. " There was no ambiguity in the nature of the oppression. All of us felt that acutely. The problem is that the barriers to equality now are far more subtle and far more, I would argue, pervasive. It is an unspoken network of discrimination." He bemoaned the misconception that

people of color are depriving white males of jobs they deserve. "So instead of fighting to expand the definition of economic opportunity, there is this false and very dangerous notion that the pie is actually shrinking and therefore anything you get is taken away from me." He said the problem with symbolic representation is that there is no system built into it for accountability. " Symbolic representation is not where it is at either. We have got to go beyond that. We've got to rethink what mission of these academic institutions is." He asserted the economic necessities of multiculturalism. By 2060, the ethnic breakdown of this country will be about 50 percent people of color." He noted that even now, people who visit Miami or Los Angeles are at a disadvantage if they don't speak Spanish. He noted that Los Angeles public schools now pay $5,000 more a year for bilingual teachers. "Gender and ethnic and racial diversity is at the core of the future of the project we call higher education." Other panel discussions covered domestic violence, child care in higher education, lesbian and gay issues, parttime employment and its impact on higher education, women's and men's communication issues and upward mobility in higher education.

The discovery of Emily Dickinson's poetry after her death unleashed a series of mysteries and revelations that astonished those who knew her and continue to intrigue readers today. Who was the reclusive woman who wrote these wise and beautiful verses? Answers to these questions will be suggested by Dickinson's newly released diary, discovered in 1916, but hidden from the public for 75 years. With discriminating insight, Fuller helps extract from Dickinson's cryptic style her views on God, family, nature, death, love, poetry, fame and her role as a woman in a patriarchal society. Sensitively annotated, 1be Diary ofEmily Dtcktnson includes 25 unpublished poems within its body, and is an exquisite account of what it means to live the writing life, to live for poetry.

Kevin Tebedo of Colorado for Family Values speaks In favor of Amendment 2 during his speech during Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual Awareness Week. Tebedo compared granting civil rights to homosexuals with granting civil rights to habitual criminals. Tebedo asked the audience whether criminals who may have a genetic disposition to committing crime should be granted civil rights status. He also said homosexuals are neither a race nor a class status. "Just because the majority of the people want to do something doesn' t make it

right," Tebedo said, referring to his belief that laws should not be changed just because social opinion changes. After the speech, a man from the audience said to Tebedo, "I want to thank you for doing more for gay civil rights than anyone.

The Metropolitan/Andy Gross Nancy Solomon (right) of the ACLU reacts to an audience member's question at a conference during Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Awareness Week, Oct.18-23.

While Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual Awareness Week has ended, supporters hope that the information and views provided will linger in student's minds. The week was intended to provide support and to increase awareness about gay, lesbian, and bisexual persons in the past and present. The week also tried to portray the diverse and varied lives gays and lesbians have led and will continue to lead, and the vast opportunities available along the career and educational continuum. "I think the whole week was a big success. I hope it opened people's eye.s to the way we really are and the way we really feel," said a gay student who asked not to be identified.

The week was filled with numerous panels, films and speakers covering topics from having a family member or friend who is lesbian or gay to the future. of Amendment 2. Workshops were offered focusing on GLB issues such as Coming Out Effectively; Gender, Race and Class Issues; Campus Activism and more. "This was a great week because it wasn't just 'Oh this is how gay people act and we need support' but it covered issues like what is available educationwise and career-wise to gays and lesbians," said a lesbian MSCD student. The week was sponsored by MSCD Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual Student Services and Auraria Lesbian and Gay Alliance.

"A crushingly funny and knowing ode to misspent youth:'

Deanna Duncan Allen, editor of Focus on Denver, a multicultural free community newspaper, is interested in publishing news with a unique approach: highlighting events and information that Focus on the positive aspects of the com. munity. Allen, in a visit to one of Metropolitan State College of Denver's journalism classes, said her paper "looks for solutions rather than Focusing on problems." Allen is a 1992 graduate of MSCD and has done her professional training as . editor of a Fort Lupton newspaper before joining Focus on Denver. She said she is hopeful about the future of the paper. In Focus' 22nd week, Allen estimated readership at three and a half times the circulation rate of 12,000, because one copy may be passed among several readers. She said she expects the paper to grow as much as the advertisers will allow it to grow, although she stated, "I don't think we'll ever be as unwieldy as Westward." Focus solicits editorials from such notables as Mayor Wellington Webb, who has written articles for all 22 issues. The paper covers diverse subjects including careers, poetry, the circus, retail development and the Downtown neighborhood, as well as government and social issues. Focus' connection with lnterfax, a business news service based in Denver

and Moscow, is beneficial to the paper. During the recent crisis in Russia, Focus was able to report on details of events to which other periodicals were denied access. Allen boasted that the Denver Business Journal considers the paper a competitition, and that KCNC News interviewed her about the new paper on Sept. 29. These reactions from the media have encouraged Allen to believe she's on the right track. She also said she's in a better financial position than a sister paperafter the same number of issues. Allen wants to solicit students to write about events around Auraria campus. She said education is an important aspect of Focus on Denver. She graduat: edl5 months ago with a degree in journalism, and publisher Julie R. Saville is also an MSCD graduate. Co-publisher Dr. Thomas Saville is an associate professor of psychology at MSCD. Allen said she hopes the paper will be distributed widely among the students on campus. Allen said she is interested in giving beginning journalists a chance to write for the paper. Focus is seeking increased coverage on city and state government as well as local campus news, and offers editorial internships and advertising sales experience. Focus on Denver is distributed throughout downtown Denver, Capitol Hill, Auraria Campus and south to Alameda Avenue.

Volley ba11 Sets New School Records Terrell Sets 12 Ace Service Record; Team Wins Two Games 15-0, One Match Kristin Sauls SPORTS EDITOR

Chelsea Terrell hit 12 ace serves in the match against the University of Southern Colorado, Thursday night, helping MSCD to take a record-setting win over the Indians. MSCD beat the Indians in three straight matches, 15-5, 15-0 and 15-0. This was the first time the Roadrunners had a shutout this season, and the first time in MSCD's history that there were two shutouts in one match. "I was surprised, it feels good, because I didn't miss any serves," Terrell said, showing her excitement about the record. Although Terrell has not set any service goals for herself, the record she set against USC was good for her. "It's a personal thing to miss serves. You have control and you don't want to mess up," Terrell said. Coach Rhonda McMullen had put a stop to Terrell's service domination by asking her not to jump serve anymore. Terrell obliged at first, then lost her composure and hit the next serve into the net. McMullen regrets asking her to stop. "I shouldn't have, she was setting a record, even though I didn ' t know it," McMullen said. She said she started to feel bad for USC because they could not return any of Terrell's serves. "It was a respect thing. We were already winning, there was no need to annihilate them," she said. The coach said she was happy with the win.

"We were hitting the ball hard, and we have a good jumping team," she said. McMullen said the last time MSCD played USC, MSCD did not play to their full potential, and that the win was not as well deserved as this one. "Last time we didn't play hard, but this time we earned it," McMullen said. Hitter Tracy Thompson said: "I thought we played really well. We didn't let up like we usually do." Debbie Guck had a good night, hitting .750 for the two games she played. Thompson had six kills, seven digs and hit for .417 against use. Lora Houdek had one kill, four digs and hit for .500. Noelle Braunschweiger and Julie Stranahan both hit .1000 for the night. McMullen said she was happy with the perfor- • mance of the team during all three matches.

Kemp Optimistic for Swim Teams · Duncan Burgermeister STAFF WRITER

Add a talented group of newcomers to a proven group of returning swimmers, and the result should be another successful season for third-year MSCD swimming and diving coach Cindy Kemp. After going 2 1-10 last year, Kemp is optimistic about the upcoming men's swimming season because of three fresh man recruits and a walk-on. Steve Watson, Bill Easter, Tracy Fostvedt and Linc Carlton will make large contributions this year and help ease the loss of last year's standout, Mark Gracioch, Kemp said. "Those four freshman will more than fill Mark's shoes," she said. Overall, Kemp feels she had a great recruiting year. "I worked hard," she said, "Watson and Fostvedt could have gone to Division I schools. By the time they are seniors they will be phenomenal." Kemp is also excited about the group of returning men swimmers, including senior team captain Bernie Gard. "Bernie is the leader of the team.

He's the guy the young swimmers look up to," Kemp said. Another freshman, Eddie Lary , deserves mention also, if not for his ability as a· swimmer, then for the fact that at 30, he is possibly the oldest freshman swimmer in the Gard country. Kemp said the men should be a top Division II school this year and should have a good chance to win the Colorado State University Invitational this weekend. The women's team, 12-13 last year, also should have a good mix of youth and experience this season. Kemp is excited about freshman Shannon Sargent, who was on the same swim club as Easter in high school. Sargent can swim anything from mid-distance to distance, Kemp said.

Another swimmer Kemp expects big things from is sophomore Shannon Mulder, who is back this year after winning three conference titles last year. According to Kemp, the women's team might not be as successful as the men's team Mulder for the simple fact that they lack the same recruiting chances that the men's team has. Competition from University of Northern Colorado and CU, schools that do not have men's swimming, dip into the talent pool that MSCD draws from. These schools only have women's teams, so the competition for recruitment is stiffer. In addition to the men's and women's swim teams, look for diver Troy Williams, a returning conference champion, to have a big year.

Men's Soccer Drops Two; Gives GCU 1:First Win Marcus C. Dunn ,,THE METKOPOLITAN The victory over Fort Lewis College two Sundays ago was supposedly the warning shot: the men's soccer team was a squad to be reckoned with. However, the Roadrunners could not maintain the spirit of beating a number one team; they dropped two games at home last week and gave ,'1rand Canyon University its firsr win of the season.

Regis scored the remaining goals within the last 20 minutes of the contest. Steve Scher scored with the help of Francisro Dongo. and Dongo scored the last goal the game unassisted. GCU handed MSCD the second reality check of last week's play. OCU, without a win before coming to Denver, soundly defeated the Roadrunners 4-1 in regulation play. "We have been plagued with injuries the entire season," GCU Head Coach Petar Draksin said. "This is the first game in which all but one of our players were healthy." GCU's Jason Collins scored the first goal on a healthy solo dribble down the north · sideline, past the Roadrunner defense and with a clear shot to the goal. MSCD was out of the game from this point forward and lost spirit with each ticking minute. From the south sideline, parents, students and vagrants followed the exchange of obscenities between Wade Schaefer and Paul Mackin. The MSCD coaching staff called Mackin and Schaefer to the bench as other Roadrunner teammates fought and yelled at each other. Taking advantage of the situation, GCU's Vi~t<>r Gilgan dribbled through the lot of them for the second score of the first half. MSCD Head Coach Al Ashton later described the substitutions of Mackin and Schaefer as a method of getting his players to concentrate on the

Women's Soccer On Winning Streak Duncan Burgermeister STAFF WRITER

The MSCD women's soccer team scored I0 goals in two games and easily ran away with two victories, one in league action, last week. Junior Rosie Durbin scored a pair of goals in MSCD wins over Colorado Christian and Northeast Missouri State and was named Colorado Athletic Conference player of the week. In the first game, the Roadrunners defeated Colorado Christian 5-2, then over the weekend shutout Northeast Missouri State 5-0 in a non-league road contest. The two victories bring MSCD's overall record to 9-6-2 and 3-2-2 in the CAC, good for third place. Durbin's four goals over the weekend tie her for the team lead with sophomore Melissa Villani, both of who are in the top five in CAC individual scoring. Freshman goal-keeper Chellie McCourt continued her outstanding play in the two games, shutting out Colorado Christian and allowing Northeast !Missouri to score only two goals. McCourt leads the CAC in goalie statistics, having allowed only 22 goals, an ,average of 1.22 a game. The Roadrunners close out the season with a home game against Regis on Sunday at 1:00.

~ - Q. ,,

THE METROPOLITAN

The MSCD women's basketball team is not allowing the loss of six seniorsincluding Colorado Athletic Conference standout Holly Roberts- to deter it from having a good season. Coach Darryl Smith and his Roadrunners are counting on hard work, a tenacious defense and the contributions of five new players to make the 1993-94 campaign a successful one. Behind the leadership of captains Paula Hart, a 6-foot senior forward, and Natalie Dittmer, a 6-foot. senior center, the Roadrunners expect to finish at the top oftheCAC. "The league is wide open right now," Smith said. University of Denver won the CAC last year, followed by MSCD and the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs in a second place tie. · To improve on last season's 21 -6 record, the Roadrunners will concentrate on improving the physical dimensions of the game, which should allow them to dominate the CAC. The team works four to five days a week on aerobic conditioning and improving the strength of the team. "I bet any other team isn't working half as bard as we are," Dittmer said. "Probably our team's greatest strength is our overall quickness for the size of a team . .We could put a team on the floor that was all 5-foot-1 l-inches or bigger if we wanted to," Smith said. Along with five new faces comes what seems to be a new outlook by the team. "Everybody has a positive attitude this year," Hart said. "The new attitude will replace everything we lost last year, the work ethic is a heck of a lot better." Two freshmen will join the team this year, Tracy Alexander, a 5-foot-9-inch guard from Great Falls, Mont., and
