Food Vendor Pulls out of Contract with Auraria Withdrawal Causes Delay in Move of Student Union to Tivoli, AHEC May Solicit Franchises

•

Antoinette Vecchio NEWS EDITOR

Students who dine in the Student Union may have to find another place to eat as the major food vendor may be leaving campus.

Negotiations between Professional Food-Service Management and Auraria Higher Education Center have reached a stalemate and both parties could not reach agreements on many Soker issues.

"We couldn't come to terms on the lease agreement," said Ron Metzger, divi-

sion manager for PFM. The negotiations, Metzger said, are "finished."

PFM has been operating without a permanent contract in the current Student Union since May 15, and the contract extension expired on Aug. 13. Since then, PFM has been operating on a month-to-month basis.

The withdrawal of PFM from the Tivoli Student Union contract means a further delay in moving the Student Union to the Tivoli, said Kersten Keith, MSCD representative to the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board.

Since Auraria no longer has a main food vendor, it may have to solicit new bids or recruit franchises.

"Either way, we're obviously behind schedule," Keith said.

The company, which has been with Auraria for more than J5 years, was awarded the contract for the Tivoli dining services last year and has been battling over various issues since negotiations on the lease

began .

Lawrence Pande, president of PFM, said the Food Service Advisory Committee chose PFM because of the company's proposal and choice of location, which was on the second floor of the Tivoli Student Union facing the campus.

"Then we got into negotiations, and the whole posture changed," he said.

The committee moved most of the location to the basement, additional competition was brought in, part of the serving area was given to the bookstore, and access to the basement entrance from the parking area was cut off, Pande said.

"There were so many road blocks that were put in the way that we just didn't feel the oper~tion could be successful," he said.

In his experience, Pantle said negotiations are usually based on price and not on other factors. see PFM page 5

Suspect Arrested in Ring Theft Antoinette Vecchio NEWS EDITOR

A suspect has been arrested and charged with felony theft for stealing jewelry from an MSCD student Oct. 21 after she helped deliver the suspect's wife's baby.

Major Eugene Hines was arrested Oct 29 in Aurora and is in Denver police custody.

Stacy Burrows, 20, a Denver police cadet and criminal justice and criminology major, gave Hines her wedding rings and an amethyst ring to hold while she helped Hines ' wife deliver a baby on Speer Boulevard near Seventh Street.

"I was surprised that they found him," Burrows said. "It really restores your faith in the criminal justice system that they were able to locate him."

Sgt. Wally McCreary of the Denver Police Department Theft Unit said Hines has a criminal record in Denver, but no felonies.

Police recovered the amethyst ring after it was pawned at an Aurora pawn shop the day after the theft. The wedding rings, however, are still missing.

"In my heart, I knew he took them [the rings], but we had no proof at all," Burrows said.

An unidentified student makes tracks across campus toward the Central Classroom Friday after five inches of snow fell in Denver.

The first major snowstorm of the season created traffic tie-ups across the metro area and caused many students to be late to class.

Schedules Are Not in the Mail Michelle Jensen THE METROPOLITAN

The college will no longer mail schedules to on-campus MSCD students, and student government representatives are upset that they were not consulted on the decision.

Barb Ferrill, president of MSCD student government, said it was a bad decision on the administration's part not to mail the schedules, and students were given a chance only to react and not to participate in the decision making.

"It's another runaround that students have to do," she said.

Ferrill said it will create an accessibility problem for students that have only a few classes a week or take classes at night when the campus offices are closed.

She also said there is a general attitude from the administration toward students that students do not know what is best for them.

"That's what the student government is for," Ferrill said.

Money was lost in the past on postage and handling because the sched-

ules were sometimes mailed to the incorrect addresses, or were mailed to people who moved and left no forwarding addresses, according to Dr. Kenneth Curtis, the associate vice president and dean of Admissions and Records.

Curtis said MSCD printed 70,000 copies of the fall semester schedules and will print 60,000 for the spring semester.

Bob Brock, director of communications division said it cost $16,08 l to print schedules for the '93 fall semester, compared to the $14,183 and $8,721 for the '94 spring and summer schedules.

Brock said printing so many schedules keeps the printing costs down.

"As the number of pieces [scheduJes] go down, the prices go up," he said.

The number of schedules left over vary each semester, Curtis said. At most, 2,000-3,000 are left over each semester.

"I'd rather throw a few out. It's a bigger problem to run out of schedules than it is to have extras," he said.

Students who wish to pick up course schedules can pick them up at offices on the first floor of the Central Classroom starting the week of Nov. 8.

Circulating on Campus Lisa Perry THE METROPOLITAN

A war of words about condom effectiveness has trickled down from national media to the Auraria campus.

The battle cries are vehement, as well as contradictory: • Condoms used consistently and correctly can protect users against AIDS. • Condoms fail too often to be considered safe in the protection against AIDS. Last spring, an anonymously-produced brochure circulated widely around campus.

"Did you know that the smallest pores in latex rubber condoms (tiny structural holes that cannot be eliminated) are 50 times larger than the HIV (AIDS) virus?" the brochure said.

The brochure attributes this information to C.M. Roland, editor of Rubber Chemistry & Technology magazine, but does not list the source for production of the brochure. The brochure includes a prayer for abstinence.

'The brochure's information is completely untrue," spokeswoman for the Colorado Department of Health, Melissa Burke said.

The brochure is probably quoting a study that used latex gloves, not condoms, in its findings, she said.

Latex condoms made in the United States undergo much more stringent man-

;.

ufacturing standards and federal testing than latex gloves, Burke said.

"Two studies prove that the HIV virus does not pass through condoms used correctly and consistently," she said.

Burke is also frustrated with the anonymity aspect of the brochure.

"Students should question the credibility of any information that doesn't have a direct source," she said.

The situation was a catalyst in the formation of an outreach team of college health care providers and CDH representatives. Their goal is to educate the public about how and why condoms are effective in the prevention of AIDS. Billi Mavromatis, health educator at the MSCD Student Health Center, and Jesus Gonzalez, CDH disease control specialist, began presenting condom information seminars in MSCD classrooms last month.

"The response has been very, very positive. Several people have come up with very touching stories. We' ve definitely impacted a couple of people," Gonzalez said.

Mavromatis said the AIDS epidemic is changing the way the medical community is working.

"The (AIDS) epidemic is changing all the time: who's infected, the demographics, routes of infection and new ways to prevent it," Mavromatis said.

That's why the condom information seminars are so important, she said.

Atlanta Doctor Promotes AIDS Awareness on Campus Jean E. R. Straub STAFF WRITER

..

'

AIDS is actually two epidemics: people getting infected and how the United States is going to deal with them getting infected, according to Dr. Jonathon Richmond, director of Health and Safety for Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta.

In honor of AIDS Awareness Month in October, Richmond presented a slide show and "quick introduction to the concept of HIV infection" recently to a packed classroom in the Science Building.

"Everybody in this room is susceptible to HIV. Everyone on this campus is susceptible to HIV," Richmond said.

Scientists began to seriously track AIDS in 1984, Richmond said. He showed slides of the progression of the disease from 1984 to 1991. A 1991 map of the United States was bleached with white dots.

'The computer can no longer process the number of dots and print me a new chart, but it has continued to grow very rapidly in the United States as well as elsewhere," Richmond said.

If you become infected, Richmond said, two things happen In your body simultaneously. The virus infects T-cells or white blood cells, which are part of your immune system. The virus takes over the cell machinery and starts producing more virus. After a while, it kills the cell.

"So, over time, it's the T-cell that's dying.

The T-cell simply gets overwhelmed," he said.

Eventually, your T-cell count

There has been so much stigma asso-

ciated with HIV infection that a lot of people find it very difficult to be honest and open and talk about the fact that they are infected. "Somewhere along the line, people are going to wake up in this country and say, 'We've got to be more open.

We have to deal with this in a slightly different manner,"' Richmond said.

Richmond emphasized the phenomenon of "phantom sexual partners."

"In essence, when you have sex with someone, you are having sex with every person that person bas had sex with," be said.

"When people in this country become sexually active, they become very sexually active," Richmond said.

Richmond said the level of AIDS education is probably very high on the Auraria Campus, but a couple of beers and a little pot later "you get a little cloudy ... Suddenly you forget all the stuff you've learned about this virus."

"Substance abuse is having a tremendous contribution to the spread of this disease," he said.

Ideally, you would start off a sexually intimate relationship by going hand-inhand to get tested together. Then, for the next six to 12 weeks you have monogamous, "safer" sex by using latex condoms and a water-based lubricant. You get tested again at the end of the 12 weeks, Richmond said.

"In our society today a lot of people think that the only way to go is to be sexually active, but you can choose abstinence ... Safe sex is clearly defined as abstinence," he said.

Japanese American Recalls WW II Internment Camps Jim Kehl STAFF WRITER

While our boys were "over there" fighting to free the Jews from Nazi prisons, the U.S. government was over here imprisoning thousands of Japanese Americans in "internment camps."

One of those Japanese Americans, Marge Taniwaki, described to students Wednesday in the Student Union what it was like to live in one of those camps and the effects of the imprisonment on Japanese Americans.

In 1942, Taniwaki's family was sent to Manzanar, a one-square mile patch of desert about l 00 miles west of Death Valley, Calif.

Manzanar housed 10,000 Japanese Americans within barbed-wire fences guarded by rifle-carrying soldiers. . "I can remember watching a soldier walking with a rifle while he was on duty in the guard tower close to my family's building," Taniwaki said.

About 120,000 people were imprisoned, including many Japanese who were brought from Central and South America, she said.

Her family lost its home and its produce market, and her father sold his twoton truck for $50, she said.

The buildings in the camps were built by the .. internees" with green wood that shrank, letting in insects and sand from the daily sand storms, she said. .. I can remember waking up every

morning with grit in my mouth," Taniwaki said.The nine members of Taniwaki's family lived in a space 12 feet by 20 feet in size that lacked running water and was lit by one light bulb, she said.

Taniwaki explained that many young men were drafted into the army out of the camps.

"There's irony in that here were U.S. prisoners being drafted out of a camp to fight for freedom and justice," Taniwaki said.

Many of the men who resisted the draft were tried for treason and sent to prison.

"They didn't say that they wouldn't fight," she said, "they asked that their rights be returned before they fought.

"When we were useful as enemies, that's what we were labeled as, when it was useful to send our men into battle, that's what happened," Taniwaki said.

Japanese Americans have been damaged to the point that they can't speak about it-even 50 years later, she said.

"Some people don't even remember or don't want to remember what happened to them," Taniwaki said.

She encouraged students to "stretch your minds so that something like this will never happen again."

"Even today, I believe any group of people who are viewed as threatening could easily be incarcerated," she said. "I hope that people pay attention to what this country does."

Colorado: State Of Denial I us~d to think Denver was well-integrated community. After all it is the 32nd most diverse county in the nation, according to the 1990 U.S. Census.

My first wake-up call came with a trip to Miami last month. Statistically, Dade County, Fla. is the 15th most diverse county in the nation. But numbers can't describe the vast differences between Denver and Miami. It's like comparing mashed potatoes to salsa. What impressed me most was how well Miami is integrated, compared to Denver.

Miami Beach and downtown Miami proved to me that the races in those areas were much more accepting of one another than they are here. I'm not so naive to think that Miami, home to Little Havana and nationalistic murders, doesn't have its own segregated areas, but in comparison, Denver seems much more segregated.

While .1 was in Florida, I overheard many a conversation on the street and in other public places, but I understood very few of them because the overwhelming majority of them were in Spanish. Signs announcing "On Parle Frarn;ais" were. co~monplace, although no one hung signs reading Se Habla Espanol" because that was a given.

It appalls me that Florida, like Denver has an English-only law. The law, to me is nothing but poorly camouflaged institutionalized racism.

The second wake-up call was at MSCD's "Breaking the Glass Wall" forum. I learned from Manning Marable, a former CU-Boulder professor and nationally-known scholar who spoke at the forum, that multiculturalism is a necessary step in not only hi9her education, but one this country must take in order to survive as an economic power.

"By 2060, the ethnic breakdown of this country wil.1 be about 50 percent people of color," Marable said. He pointed out that consumer spending will

change because taste and preference are "culturally specific, n and that if higher education does not expand its horizons, the academic institutions of the 21st century will be in a lonely world of their own, separ.ated from the diverse community.

Just think of what such cultural separation will do to America as a nation. If it is made up of divided masse~, a n:iisguide.d and refracted economy and a. nation with continually widening classes, what kind of superpower will that be? Look at Haiti.

Look at Somalia. A few rich exploiting the many poor. .

This capitalistic society may not recognize the importance of diversity now, but in 2060, there will be about 82 million Latinos, 65 million African Americans and 30 million Asian Americans in this country, according to Marable. That's a lot of spending power, and money seems to be the one language all capitalists speak.

I hear a lot of whites complaining about Affirmati~e Action. In practice, it is far from a perfect solution to the problem of inequity. But it isn't a bi~ th~eat to jobs for Caucasians, as many perceive 1t. Only a small percentage of Colorado jobs are mandated to minorities. Remember when blacks were passed by for jobs after serving alongside whites in World War II? Of course you don't.

Remember when blacks couldn't sit down in the same restaurants as whites? Of course you don't.

But don't you think minorities deserve a little economic compensation for the past? Don't you think the outrageously oppressed and abused Hispanic culture that primarily founded this state deserves a little more recognition? I do.

It's easy to forget that your little corner of the world isn't the center of the universe. But it's dan~erous and highly inaccurate to make generalizations based on our own experiences. This is a huge world. This is a huge country. The opinions of one person or even a circle of friends are micro~copic in the scheme of the whole world. Try to incor~orate more viewpoints into your own perspective. Try to see things from someone else's vantage point. It's a small step, but it's a start to envisioning a more productive society.

As it is now, racism is quiet. Marable called it "racial etiquette." But this unspoken oppression is most dangerous in its state of denial. Racism is no less pre~~lent than it was 50 years ago, it's just more politically correct. It's time for us to wake up and smell the coffee, whether it be Hawaiian Kenyan or Colombia Blend. '

INSIGHT OF IDEAS Freedom Road, Democratic Socialists Won't Debate College Republicans ,

~

The Auraria Freedom Road Socialist Organization and Democratic Socialists of America (FRSO/DSA) would like to clarify our position about why we will not be debating the College Republicans this semester.

Over the past two years the College Republicans, both on a local and a statewide level, have participated in numerous actions that casts a doubt over their ability to participate in any form of serious discourse. Two years ago, during a campuswide event to raise awareness of the homeless issue and money for local food banks, the leadership of the College Republicans attempted to make a mockery of the event by simultaneously holding a hot tub party in "honor of the homeless," complete with beer and h'ors d'oeuvres to be served to the partyers by "actual homeless people."

Last spring, with statewide violence against gays and lesbians up by 80 percent,t including the murders of five gay men, the College Republicans, during a debate on gays in the military, declared themselves "stormtroopers for the religious right" and "killing machines of righteousness."

Last March at CSU in Ft. Collins, the College Republicans put misogynist graffiti over chalk marks that were part of a women's history month activity.

The women's studies department and supportive clubs had legally chalked various slogans, such as "No means no" and "Date rape is a crime" on the sidewalks on and around campus . The college republicans unofficially added their own comments such as "You can't rape the willing." Confronted with this extreme sexism that would embarrass even Mike Rosen, the College Republicans took the offensive and declared "war on diversity and multiculturalism" proudly distributing flyers proclaiming

this act of neo-fascism.

When the Auraria College Republicans learned of these events they staunchly supported the actions of the College Republicans up North.

Most recently several College Republicans, including many of their club officers, attended one of FRSO/DSA's events. Though the keynote speakers had traveled from Vermont to discuss building progressive coalitions the College Republicans talked loudly among themselves while the panel was going on. They giggled rudely and continually attempted to cause distractions throughout the discussion . Though they had no questions or comments when the floor was opened to all in attendance.

While the last case could be construed as a cunning political tactic that is causing disruptions during your opponents events, these behaviors do not lend themselves to the type of mutual respect necessary if a debate of any seriousness were to be contemplated.

Taking all of the above mentioned events into account, the FRSO/DSA will have to decline any invitations to debate at this time.

We will continue to hold current issue panels, and roundtable discussions on many of the pressing issues facing America today. One such event shall be on November 13th, featuring historian Howard Zinn speaking on 'The Use and Abuse of History.'

MSCD's Annual Plain and Fancy Ban Raises Money for Student Scholarships Stevie Griego THE METROPOLITAN

r1 n what must have been one of ;:J the most unusual places to hold a black tie affair, this year's Plain and Fancy Ball did its part to raise money for MSCD scholarships and academic programs .

Proceeds are still being counted, but MSCD Institutional Advancement officials are pleased with the predicted results.

Held in the E.W. Estlow Production Facility, the Rocky Mountain News' printing facility, the 620 guests had views of huge paper rolls on which the News is printed, and dinner tables were placed right next to a line of rail cars. The high ceiling of the warehouse provided a wonderful openness. but perhaps contributed to the numerous microphone problems that plagued the ball.

Many people wondered how the warehouse would be turned into an elegant setting for the ball when they received their invitations.

"I thought it was pretty gutsy to throw [the ball] in an environment like this. The roof, the railcars, the colors; it's so festive.

I'm impressed with how it turned out," said guest Ken Paul, owner of a local real estate aperaisal company.

The ball included a silent auction, dinner, an oral auction and dancing. Tables sprinkled with confetti were lined with items for the silent auction, from a bat that Andres Gallaraga used (and broke) in the 1993 all-star game, to artwork, wine, and passes for getaways to the mountains, dinners at fine restaurants and tennis lessons.

The silent auction was so popular that it proved very difficult to get guests from the silent auction area into the dining area.

Chairwoman Rita Kahn and chairman Sherman Hamilton had to get downright stem with guests in order to remove them from their bidding.

"They were a little abrupt, but I guess they had to be . People just weren't listenin g to them ," said Liz Greene of Kahn and Hamilton.

The dress for the evening ranged from tuxedos and elegant gowns to boxer shorts and jeans. One man wore both styles, with half of his body sporting jeans and a casual shirt and the other half wearing slacks, a sports coat and tie. This year, guests were also invited to wear costumes portraying characters from comic strips, cartoons, movies or television. Costumes included a pair portraying Calvin and Hobbes.

In the tradition of the Plain and Fancy

Ball, all the partygoers had one thing in common: they all wore vinyl bow ties portraying comic strip characters. The ties were worn as corsages, hairpieces, around ankles, on shoes and some even wore them around their necks.

Mayor Wellington Webb provided inspirational words about MSCD's role in education and stressed the importance of a colleges like MSCD. "We cannot progress without Metropolitan State College progressing," said Webb.

Webb urged guests to keep in mind that their generosity benefited the MSCD students.

Des c ribing her as an outstanding educator, Webb welcomed MSCD's new president, Sheila Kaplan, to the crowd in an almost eerie silence. He asked everyone, including the wait staff, to stop in their tracks in order to give her a proper Denver welcome.

Kaplan expressed her exc itement about being involved with MSCD and her first Plain and Fancy Ball. Kaplan introduced the Plain and Fancy Person of the Year, Larry Strutton.

Strutton, an MSCD alumnus, is the president, publisher and chief executive officer of the Rocky Mountpin News. .,_ I

Strutton said MSCD students are very special because 80 to 90 percent bold down part-time or full-time jobs while taking classes. Strutton said if it weren't for MSCD, he would not have been able to attend college at all.

"Metro is a college that I believe deeply in. Metro gives hope," said Strutton.

Ernie Bjorkman and Jane Hampden of KMGH-TV7 announced the oral auction, a recent addition to the ball. They auctioned off eight items and raised $6,950. The mo1lt interesting items auctioned were the license plates from two vehicles in this summer's papal procession. The plates went for $450. Two round-trip tickets to Rio de Janeiro brought in the most money.

They sold for $2,650. Other items in the oral auction included a year of dining in some of Denver's finest.restaurants, ski passes and tickets to a taping of CBS 's "Murphy Brown."

Following dinner and the program, Diana Castro and The Big Time took to tl}_e stage and kept the dance floor full with I.ts lively, funky dance tracks.

Because of this year's Plain and Fancy Ball, the MSCD Foundation will be able to provide more students with scholarships for the 1994--;9~~.)hJ,>fJ ~ear.

arry Strutton has come a long way. Due to his support of MSCD and his leadership in the Denver community, Strutton was honored as this year's Plain and Fancy person of the year at the Plain and Fancy Ball on Oct. 30.

Strutton has been a supporter of the Plain and Fancy Ball and also belongs to the MSCD Foundation Board, which is a fundraising board for the college. The MSCD Alumni Association named him Distinguished Alumnus in 1987. ''I'm very honored, but it's embarrassing. I don't like to toot my own horn," Strutton said of his selection.

An MSCD graduate , Strutton is now publisher, president and CEO of the Rocky Mountain News. Strutton says he owes his success to his college degree from MSCD. Strutton received his degree from MSCD in Management and Computer Sciences in 197 L. Strutton started his career in the newspaper industry in 1964 as a Linotype machinist for the Rocky Mountain News. He continued at the News until 198 l.

He says he supports the college because it is unique and caters to the working, nontraditional type of student.

said.

"I'd still be in the composing room if I hadn't gotten my college degree," Strutton said. "Having a college degree made me stand out from the crowd."

Strutton continued his career in the industry at the Detroit Free Press as vice president in charge of operations, advertising and promotion/research from 1981 to 1983.

Next Strutton moved on to the Los Angeles Times as vice president of operations. He became executive vice president in charge of operations in January 1986 at the Times and oversaw the construction of a $405 million satellite printing facility in downtown Los Angeles. Before returning to the News, Strutton was president of The Baltimore Sun. Strutton takes his role as publisher very seriously.

"You always have to be aware of the power of the news. With one article we can destroy a person, company or business. We have to be sure we're accurate and take responsibility," said Strutton.

Sherman Hamilton, president and CEO of Hamilton Sweeney Advertising, Inc. and co-chairperson of this year's ball, praised his former MSCD classmate's determination and community involvement.

"I suspected that Larry would grow up to be 'somebody,' and he has," Hamilton said of Strutton.

"I always knew I wanted to be a publisher," Strutton said. "I just didn't think it would take this long."

African-American Quilts on Display at MSCD Exhibit

Dear M.C. (Metro Connections), I had read the letter from the person that was "stuck in a relationship," that had said that there no longer was passion in the relationship. Well, I have been married for over 12 years, and I definitely know what it is like to have a relationship without passion.

Presently, I am having an affair with someone.. . and I believe that it is because of the lack of passion in our relationship. This affair has been going on for several months. It all started in a class we were both taking at the college. We were sitting next to each other in class and one day we started talking about one of the papers we had to do for class. The next thing I knew, we were having coffee after class, discussing everything from class assignments to each other. The "cup of coffee" after class turned into a habit. I don't know exactly why it happened, it just happened.

My dilemma is that I do love my spouse and I want to stay married, but I also want to continue my affair. I am so confused. I feel comfortable in both relationships. I am beginning to feel so unsettled. don't know what to do.

Signed,

Unsettled

Dear Unsettled, Thank you for sharing your confusion. Oftentimes, extra-marital affairs begin with that first '"cup of coffee." And, at the onset, it is an innocent situation. People have extra-marital sexual affairs (EMS) for many different reasons. The new demands of modern marriage itself add to the pressures of marriage. It is common for men and women to have different expectations of the sexual relationship. It sounds like one expectation that you have is for the passion to be on-going throughout the marriage. Have you communicated this concern with your spouse? There are various other reasons for people to have EMS affairs.

The most common reasons for EMS affairs include boredom, unhappiness, and "a need to be needed." Oftentimes, a spouse yearns to be noticed, to be appreciated, to be "understood." In many subtle ways, the person communicates this unhappiness to others. Additionally, an EMS affair allows a person to be accepted, needed, and valued by another person. EMS affairs especially satisfy the person who has low self-esteem, personal insecurities, and/or feelings of inadequacy. And, let's not forget the intrigue, the mystery, the risk, the secret nature of EMS affairs.

Your confused and comfortable feelings need to be explored. What precipated the affair? Why are you having the affair? What is your marriage lacking? What are you getting out of the EMS affair that you are not receiving from your partner? It sounds like you would like to keep your marriage intact. Are you willing to communicate those issues with your spouse? You do not need to reveal your EMS affair to your spouse. That is your own decision. However, you may be feeling some lack of trust and honesty in your relationship with your spouse. Frequently, when we see couples at the Counseling Center who have had affairs, the biggest issue is honesty, or the lack of trust developed between the couples. Staying married is hard work. You have some tough decisions to make. I recommend a video to rent, Falling In Love, with Meryl Streep and Robert DeNiro, and/or a book to read by Robert James Waller, The Bridges of Madison County. A non-fiction book that you may like to read is Getting Love Right: Learning the Choices of Healthy Intimacy, by Terence Gorski.

If necessary, you may want to seek out professional help in terms individual therapy or couples counseling. Good luck to you.

...

METRO CONNECTIONS always invites your letters and responses. Please address them to MSCD Counseling Center, Campus Box 5. Please note that if you are an MSCD student, counseling services are provided to you free in the Counseling Center. And, the Counseling Center also provides outside referrals when appropriate.

Martin Kramer speaks to political science students at the Golda Meir Center.

Political Science Department Establishes Golda Meir Center Jean E.R. Straub STAFF WRITER

The MSCD Political Science Department recently established the Golda Meir Center for Political Leadership, connected to the historic Golda Meir House at Ninth Street Park.

Golda Meir was prime minister of Israel from 1969 to 1974.

In 1913, Meir lived with her sister in a duplex in the 1600 block of Julian Street and was encircled by political discussion and debate that influenced her life substantially.

"It was in Denver that my real education began," she said.

The Auraria Foundation moved the house on Julian to Ninth Street Park at the

Auraria Campus in 1988. After restoration, the house will be a museum and conference facility.

One purpose of the Golda Meir Center for Political Leadership is to stimulate non-partisan political discussion, from local issues to world affairs, and what it means to be a leader at all levels of the political process, said Norman Provizer, chairman of the Political Science Department and director of the center.

The center featured profess~r Martin Kramer, associate director of the Moshe Dayan Center for Middle Eastern Studies at Tel Aviv University in Israel. He spoke Oct. 26 in the Tivoli Student Union about new developments in the Middle East.

For more information on the center, call Provizer at 556-3220.

Book Focuses on Lives of America's 13th Generation Duane Green THE METROPOLITAN

When I started reading "13th Gen," I was disappointed. I expected some great revelations from authors Neil Howe and Bill Strauss. As a member of the 13th generation (people born between 1961 and 1981 ), I wanted someone to tell me who I am and what I am supposed to represent.

There aren ' t many original ideas in " 13th Gen." But that' s not necessarily a bad thing. The book is more of a compilation than an original work. It's a 229-page

research paper with a ton of references. If it had a bibliography, it would be longer than the book itself.

In retrospect, I'm glad that Howe and Strauss didn't force-feed me their views.

Instead, they let members of the 13th generation speak for themselves. 路 The book compares today's generation (the 13th since our founding fathers) with previous generations in a variety of areas. Income (or a lack of it), education, AIDS, pollution, deficits and MTV are all subjects discussed in 13th Gen.

13TH GEN from page 16 Are l 3ers responsible for their lack of education, money, drinkable water, values and natural resources?

"I like to think (God, I pray) I have learned from your (baby boomer's) generation's irresponsibility and cavalier attitude toward family, sex, drugs and the Earth. I have to clean up the mess you left behind, and if you think I should be joyous and dancing in the streets, you are dead wrong," the book quotes one l3er.

The book is formatted like an MTV video. Short bites of information surround the text. Quotes, statistics and graphs punctuate the authors' views. Quotes from books and movies illustrate the feelings of l3ers.

Howe and Strauss, known as 2boomers in the text, also rely on the running commentary of a critic known as Crasher.

The book's text is being run over an electronic mail network in an attempt to elicit reaction and opinions from e-mail readers. Crasher interjects his views every few pages in a running dialogue with 2boomers.

The format of " 13th Gen" can be distracting. I found myself more drawn to the quotes and cartoons than what Howe and Strauss said. Maybe that was intentional. Maybe the authors were trying to tell me that what my peers have to say about our generation is more important than what I read in a book.

Nevertheless, I didn't buy the book to see commercials. Or did I? The best thing about "13th Gen": it made me think.

Roadrunners Finish No. 2 in Premier Tourney MSCD Loses Only Two Matches All Weekend: Drops Tough One To UNC Kristin Sauls SPORTS EDITOR

The women's volleyball team took second place in the Air Force Premier Tournament this weekend, giving up the final match to the University of Northern Colorado in a heartbreaking loss.

They lost one match to West Texas University on Friday, starting the tourney off on the wrong note, but filling in the other two days with victory after hardeamed victory.

'I was extremely proud of the way my team played.'

-Rhonda McMullen Volleyball Coach Friday, the Roadrunners almost had to forfeit the match. The assistant coaches' car got stuck in a ditch while they were on their way to pick up the bus to drive the team to Colorado Springs.

McMullen said she was a nervous wreck because the team was delayed for more than an hour, waiting on assistant coaches and the bus.

The West Texas coaches agreed to wait for the Roadrunners to arrive. They needed to play MSCD to move up in the tournament.

MSCD arrived at 11 :35 a.m., and the match started at 1 L:40 a.m. McMullen said it was not enough time to get ready to play.

"Basically, the girls got off the bus, put on their shoes and played. There was no time to tape or ice, or even warm up for the match," she said.

MSCD ended up losing the match in five games.

The team's second game Friday was against University of Nebraska-Omaha, which they won in four games.

Omaha beat West Texas later that day, canceling MSCD's loss to Texas.

This tum of events put the Roadrunners in first place in their pool.

Saturday, MSCD played North Florida University and beat its team in three matches. Later that the day, the Roadrunners beat Tampa in four hardeamed matches.

Early Sunday, the Roadrunners played Florida Southern and took the win in three games. The first two games were easy for MSCD, but then Florida grabbed hold of the lead in the third one and were desperate to hang on.

The coach concentrated on every move the other team made and adjusted her players. Throughout the match she talked to the players every chance she had.

Wynema Hunter and Tracy Thompson teamed up on the opponents and would not let anything cross the net.

MSCD beat Florida in three games.

Late Sunday, MSCD went to the final match and played UNC, taking them to five long games. UNC pulled out the win and took first place from MSCD. Crissy Canada and Thompson were named one and two on the AllTournament team. A UNC player was named the MVP for the tournament.

'We are the best team in Division II.' --Chelsea Terrell

MSCD Volleyball Player McMullen said if MSCD had won the tourney, Canada would have been the MVP. "This is the best we've ever done at this tournament. Last year we finished ninth. I was extremely proud of the way my team played," McMullen said.

Hitter Chelsea Terrell said: "We're starting to show our emotion, and that's the one thing we haven't been doing. We are the best team in Division 11. When we make up our minds to not let anything get through, we don ' t. We can go to a tournament, get gung-ho and beat everyone."

The athletic department is taking time out this season to recognize groups on campus that are usually taken for granted.

Four groups will be announced at four basketball games, pointing out the work the group does on the campus.

After the games, the groups will be invited to either Old Chicago or the 15th Street Grill to meet the players and the coach.

The first group to be recognized is Facilities Management, which will have its efforts known, during the Nov. 20 game against Bellevue College.

The Student Support Center is the second group to be recognized and it will get its due at the Nov. 26 game at the Thanksgiving Tournament.

The third set is the Financial Aid office. That game is on Dec. 4 against North Central College.

The last group to get its night is the Admissions office. They get recognized at the greatly anticipated Cal -State Bakersfield game Dec. 11.

"We're trying to get groups on the campus to come and see the games. And to get contact between downtown restaurants and campus," men's basketball Head Coach Joe Strain said.
