Some members o!MSCD's men's basketball team are loud and obnoxious while dining in the Student Union cafeteria, according to a cafeteria employee. The employee, who asked not to be identified, said two new players are causing most of the problems. "I get tired of them ...they just have this attitude like we [employees] owe them something." The employee said the obnoxious behavior bas just started this semester. On Oct. 25, one UCD student, who also asked to remain anonymous, said that while she was studying in the cafeteria one of the players threw his bookbag on the table and knocked the salt and pepper shakers onto her. "And I just looked at him and I was like 'Dude, watch it.' And that's exactly bow I said it. It wasn't threatening, it wasn't disrespectful in any way, and he just went off," she said. The player used foul language and called her a "bitch" on more than one occasion, the student said. Also, she said other people behind her were yelling at her, but the student said she did not pay attention to them and focused her attention on the player. "I don't care if they're basketball players, I don't care if they're scholars. Nobody has the right tq treat anybody the way I was treated," she said. Another student complained to Professional Food-Service Management about the incident after the group began throwing ice at her, the employee said. Someone called security, but no report was filed .. Auraria Public Safety officers said they would inform the team's coach_of the incident. Bill Altmiller, assistant food service director for PFM, said he has talked to Coach Joe Strain three or four times. Altmiller said be continues to confer with Strain at least twice a week to work on the players' "attitudinal problems." Altmiller said most of the problem focuses on team members' behavior and their friends' behavior toward employees at the cafeteria. A few weeks ago, one of the players and an

'Concerned Students' Confront Board Antoinette Vecchio NEWS EDITOR The firing of an Auraria Higher Education Center employee in July has sparked many students, staff and minority community members to question the actions of AHEC top staff. Emerson Holliday was fired " without cause" July 28 after serving more than five years as division director for student services. According to the policy of the Auraria Board of Directors , AHEC can fire an administrator without cause with 90 days notice. In a letter to King Trimble, chairman of the Auraria Board of Directors, presented to the board Nov. 8, "Concerned students of the Auraria campus" are asking that Holliday be reinstated and also for a change in top AHEC management or in the attitudes of those individuals. "The reason that l've come up to come before you is to deal with AHEC intolerance of cultural diversity, the gross mismanagement of the Tivoli and disregard for students and AHEC employees ," said Alfonso Suazo, a representative for the Black Student Alliance. Several directors have left AHEC under difficult circumstances, Suazo said, and the students are questioning AHEC' s Affirmative Action committee, which has only one person of color. In addition, he said the plan has no targets or goals to hire people of color. The letter also addresses issues of discrimination and unfair treatment of minorities by AHEC staff, including areas of higher security checks on minorities, and the lack of minorities in management positions on those events. More security personnel are hired when minority speakers and entertainers come to the Auraria campus, Suazo said.

The letter claims, and Suazo said, the students are upset by racial innuendoes by the AHEC staff, that AHEC is not seeking minority construction companies for campus contracts, and by AHEC's push to turn the Tivoli Student Union into a retail center instead of a studentoriented facility. "We are tired of being pushed to the back of the bus .... The Tivoli Union is the students' ; and the students own it, and we expect to be placed in the front and not in the back," Suazo said. Students will have one entrance and the · retail will have another, which may discourage students from displaying banners in retail areas, Suazo said. Board member Betty Miller, who served on the Tivoli Planning Committee, disagreed. "I don ' t believe that anyone has ever said that students in the Tivoli could not display their banners," Miller said. The students said in the letter that they believe AHEC has not been honest with them on many issues, and that students have been eliminated from the decision-making process. The students said they have been insulted and misled by AHEC, according to the letter. "Our student representatives are having their arm twisted to accept plans that are not in the best interest of the students," Suazo said. Trimble, however, said the students do have a say in the planning of the Tivoli. Miller said she does not accept all the complaints the students have about the Tivoli. "I watched that committee and every effort

Students' Children Get Priority at Child Care Center Wait List at 900, Auraria Board Imposes One-Year Freeze for Faculty and Staff's Children Carmel la Perucca SPECIAL TO THE METROPOLITAN

Faculty and staff whose children are on the Auraria O:rild Care Center waiting list will have to find other child care alternatives for the next year. The Auraria Board of Directors voted in April to impose a one-year freeze for admittance of children of faculty and staff, said Debbie Jump, director of the child care center.

At that time, 15 percent of the children's parents were faculty and staff. Only 10 percent of the Auraria population were faculty and

staff. "They [Auraria Board] wanted a one-year freez.e in order to discuss the issues involved and get some more infonnation," she said

Jump said student groups point out that they pay 25 percent of the cost for the child care center through a student bond fee and believe they should be the only ones able to

use the center. Kersten Keith, MSCD representative to the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board, is in agreement ''Every student pays for that facility, that in order for faculty and staff to be able to be in there, we would want every faculty member to pay for that facility. I think they understand that philosophy," Keith said Keith said she is very happy the students and faculty have finally come up with an agreement faculty and staff cannot use the child care facility. She said, however, she does not agree with students taking one class and using the facility full time, with the exception of graduate students. Students attending full time have priority, she said Currently, there are 900 names on the waiting list, Jump said. It can take between a year and a year and a half to become enrolled. Julie Strasheirn, Art Director/Designer for MSCD, said 5he put her child on the waiting list 18 months ago and was shocked to find out her daughter will not be able to attend the cen-

She said she bas been with MSCD for 12 years and this has been the procedure. She said students are complaining because they have to wait to get into the center. She said she does not think it is fair that she was not warned about what was happening. Janet Datisman-Kacskos, Media Coordinator for MSCD, said she is disappointed She has been on the list six months. ''Either they should expand or make other arrangements to accommodate staff. Companies a lot smaller than the Auraria campus provide child care for their employees. It's a necessity, not a luxury," she said Helen Kleysteuber, a professor of secretarial science at CCD and faculty representative to the Auraria Board, is not aware of alternatives at the moment, but is concerned about the situation. "In the future what will happen to our facility and staff child care?" Kleysteuber said. Students are willing to help faculty and staff with their concerns, Keith said "Students will support looking for alternative ways of caring for the faculty and staffs children," she said.

Kathi Boroughs, Auraria Child Care Center employee and MSCD student, heads to work Wednesday.

She said she called the center every month to find out where she was on the list. No one said anything to her about the freeze so she thought everything was fine. " I know that the child care center was originally chartered for students, but at some point... they let faculty and staff join in and take their children down there," Strasheim said.

Carmella Perucca is a freshman at Arvada High School who worked at The Metropolitan Wednesday, Nov. 10 for Career Day credit for an English Class.

Coach Strain, PFM Try to Alleviate 'Attitudinal Problems' BASKETBALL from page 1 employee behind the grill got into a verbal argument that fell short of a physical contact, the employee said. The employee has since quit. Much of the problem stems from changes in the amount of food allotments to the players, said another employee. Last year, team members could receive an unlimited amount of food, now there is a limit on how much food a player can get for free. The employee said the change has not gone over well with some of the players. "They don't like to play by the rules as far as how much food they are supposed to get on their cards...conr-

plaining about prices and wanting to get more food than they can get," the employee said. Team members receive a meal ticket in which they are limited to how much they can spend, Strain said. The players limit is $5 for breakfast, $6 for lunch and $7 for dinner. If what the player buys is more than the amount allotted for that meal, the player is supposed to pay the difference, the employee said, but sometimes the players hassle the employees about paying. Strain said he has talked to the team about the complaints and has also had a student assistant coach and another coach eat in the cafeteria both during lunch and

dinner hours. "We have talked to the team, and if I feel and the staff feels ... a basketball individual is not behaving in the manner that we think he should behave in, we certainly will handle it," he said. Altmiller said the situation is improving. "The cashiers... have quit coming to me with so many complaints about them [players]," be said. Altmiller said he and the coach have tried to head the problem off before it got to a serious point. "The coach bas been a readily available ally almost at any moment of the day...he's been very responsive to this," he said.

Project Helps Third World with Clean Water Jean E.R. Straub STAFF WRITER

Preschool children in Bluefield, Nicaragua, will soon have safe drinking water thanks to an MSCD professor and six students. Members of the MSCD Chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers, and George Davis, a professor of civil engineering technology and faculty adviser to ASCE, are teaching people in underdeveloped countries how to build tanks to catch and store rainwater so they will no longer have to drink unsafe water. Davis and the group constructed a demonstration rain catchment tank Oct. 29 for Roberto Castillo and Jose Rodriguez, representatives of the Nicaraguan chapter of Habitat for Humanity. They constructed the tank at Family Star, a downtown Denver preschool, so that Castillo and Rodriguez would know how to build a tank for the preschool in Bluefield. "Here in the United States, you go to your faucet and you don't think anything about going ahead and putting the cup under there and drinking it, do you?" said Mike Zimmerman, a senior environmental engineering student and president of the college's ASCE chapter. "Down in Third World countries like Nicaragua, they don't even have running water, much less safe drinking water." Sewage, bathing and drinking all come out of the same water supply. The water has a high bacterial content, and

people suffer bacterial infections as a result, Zimmerman said. "By building these tanks, they'll be able to catch and store fresh rainwater that hasn't been contaminated," he said. Nicaragua gets 170 inches of rain a year, Zimmerman said. Acid rain is not a concern in Nicaragua because there are few cars, Davis said . The group hopes to publish a detailed manual on how to build the tanks, which former Peace Corps volunteer Paul Sobiech originally designed in the 1980s in Thailand. Sobiech is now with Water for People, a non-profit organization of the American Water Works Association that primarily deals with helping underdeveloped countries procure safe drinking water. He is involved in the Nicaraguan project. Davis, also associated with Water for People, volunteered to design a rainwater catchment tank when the Nicaraguan project came up, and applied for the MSCD Strategic Planning Incentive Fund. Former MSCD President Thomas Brewer awarded Davis the $5,000 grant. "The goal for this grant is to involve students in service projects in which they can use their engineering training," Davis said. The students hope to travel to Nicaragua in January to help in the construction of other tanks, Zimmerman said. "I'll be graduating next May as an environmental engineer," he said. "While it' s nice to go out and make big money here in this country, we need to start

thinking globally." The group hopes the tank manuals will be made available throughout the world, Zimmerman said. "We'll probably try to get someone in the Department of Modern Languages to translate it;" he said. With a faucet at its base, the tank is made of sand, cement, mesh wire and quarter- inch steel rods to shape and strengthen it. The tank, which looks like a silo, is 5 feet in diameter and is 6 feet

high. The original design was modified by Davis to meet restrictions in Nicaragua. "We try to keep it very realistic, within the confines of what is available in their country," Zimmerman said. "We didn't want to have them use materials that they would have to import. They have to import all their steel for building. We were trying to be considerate of that." Considered relatively inexpensive, the tanks cost about $600 to build.

Cost of Handivan/Nightrider More Than a Taxi Duane Green THE METROPOLITAN

1be cost of a ride across campus on the Handivan/Nightrider is more than the cost of a taxi ride to the same place. According to figures from the Division of Parking and Public Safety, each time the Handivan/Nightrider picks up a student and delivers them across

campus it costs $3.80. Jim Ferguson, Community Relations Director for Parking and Public Safety, said the Handivan/Nightrider program is designed to provide access throughout campus for people with disabilities ranging from blindness to using a wheelchair . The Nightrider service is available to any campus member or visitor who is scared to walk on campus at night.

The Metropolitan/Jane Raley

The Handivan/Nightrider assists students with a variety of services.

"On a per-ride basis, when you figure the cost, I don't dispute those figures," Ferguson said. "Cost is certainly a factor. How can we do a better job with less money?" For the week of October 18-22, 83 people used the Handivan service and 57 used the Nightrider, for a total of 140 passengers, a number that Ferguson said is representative of an average week. Projected over 45 weeks, with breaks and holidays being taken into account, the number of riders in one year is 6,300. When the budget for the two programs, $24,000, is divided by the total number of passengers, a per passenger cost of $3.80 results. The entire budget for the two programs is paid through parking fees, Ferguson said. Ferguson said the service is necessary. "We are committed to this. The campus has an obligation to make people feel comfortable," Ferguson said. "If you 're not comfortable, you probably aren't going to learn very well." Rachel Garcia, a part-time driver for the Handivan/Nightrider program, believes passengers appreciate the safety the service provides. ''They [passengers] say it's a great service," he said "Some ride the van because they're scared. Some ride because they

don't want people following them to their cars." Rom Polavarapu, a CU-Denver economics professor, is blind and said he uses the Handivan almost every night. "It is the best thing that has happened to me since I came to Denver from California," he said. "I can't cross Speer or Colfax, so it really saves me time. I really appreciate this service." Driver Mary Mouton believes the Handivan/Nightrider is a service that Auraria owes its students. "There are a lot of dark lots and some crazy people on this campus at night," Mouton said. "Most of the Nightrider passengers are women, and they really enjoy the service. A couple of the women have told me that they are being stalked and one has been mugged," Mouton said. "You have to have a service like this to get women on the campus at night." As for the per-passenger cost, Ferguson said the costs will go down if more people use the services. Apparently, the idea is catching on. "We have doubled or even tripled our ridership over last year," Ferguson said. "We just Jet the people know that the service is there. To hype it just to reduce the cost per person - I just don't see the need for that."

Auraria Board of Directors Nov. 8, 1993

• Discussed Professional Food-Service Management's departure from the Tivoli Student Union and the campus. The food service company will stay in the current Student Union until May. The committee did not determine food service arrangements for the summer. Kersten Keith, representative to the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board, said that according to JoAnn Soker, executive vice president for Administration, the cafeteria in the Student Union will stay open until the food court in the Tivoli Student Union opens

• The board defeated a resolution concerning Emerson Holliday, former Student Services division director, in which the board considered acknowledging HoJliday's work and commitment during his employment with the Auraria Higher Education Center. Board member Jay Fox said the board should be "thanking someone that they fired him [HolJiday]." Board member Betty Miller than asked that the comment be erased from the tape.

•The Retail Committee said it sent a letter to Mandarin Cottage and Barbeque owner John Kim telling him it will not consider leasing the Oinks space to the restaurant. The committee said it does not want the restaurant to move into the Oinks space because Mandarin Cottage 'is not the "right" kind of restaurant to be next to the movie theatre. Also, the . space may be too big for the restaurant. One TPC member proposed the space be divided. The committee will still consider placing the restaurant in another space, but will not approve any space at this time. Karen Thorpe, assistant vice president of Student Affairs, said a copy of the Retail Committee's letter to the restaurant should be brought as a matter of record to the TPC. • The committee discussed how the Retail Committee chooses retailers. • Thorpe questioned why some of the retail committee meetings are held "in secret." The committee said they were discussing financial matters. There was confusion as to what the committee can and cannot do under the Colorado Sunshine Law, which allows state meetings to be open to the public.

• Raised concerns about faculty and staff accessibility to the child care center and to look into alternatives to accommodate faculty and staff with their child care needs. • Brought up the issue of telephone accessibility on campus especially during the evening hours in case of an emergency or disruptions. • Said pavers on campus are causing problems for those with disabilities and in wheelchairs.

• The committee discussed the colors and logos for MSCD, UCD and CCD that are being considered for use in the design of the Tivoli Student Union

• Keith introduced Alfonso Suazo, a representative for the Black Student Alliance, who outlined a letter sent to the board from "Concerned Students of Auraria Campus." The letter made reference to many student concerns, three of those being AHEC's Affirmative Action Program, the need for a Minority Development Plan and concerns about the Tivoli Student Union. The board asked JoAnn Soker, executive vice president for administration, to write reports on some items and have those reports ready in about two weeks. • MSCD President Shiela Kaplan asked Soker if the board has any policies regarding the use of surplus funds. Soker said no. Kaplan said she hopes the board develops one in the near future, as many of the classroom buildings are in need ofrepair. •The AHEC budget was approved. • Soker relayed to the board of Professional Food-Service Management's withdrawal from the master food vendor contract. Soker said she is pursuing two options: a quick turnaround inquiry of other food vendors, or working with a consultant to negotiate the possibility of leasing to franchises and caterers. The opening date for the food service in the Tivoli Student Union will be later than the opening date of the Tivoli, which is set for August 1994. • The Colorado Commission on Higher Education has designated the Auraria Student Union renovation into academic space to have priority funding. .

Everyone Deserves Human Rights By Joe Navarro - MSCD Student I don't believe that trying to determine why someone is lesbian, gay or bisexual is a criteria to determine whether someone deserves human rights or not. Our society is run by narrow-minded individuals who cling desperately to ignorance and despise cpmpassion for people. Powerful church groups and politicians have people debating as to whether it is natural or learned behavior and having us believe that we can morally determine who is human and who is not based on sexual orientation. While labeling this as a moral issue, our society hypocritically sustains a media that explicitly exploits women and children pornographically. Myths about lesbians, gays and bisexuals run rampant, having most people believe that they are degenerate and are possibly a threat to the fabric of this nation. Many studies indicate that heterosexual males, family men, constitute the overwhelming majority of child molesters, yet our society is afraid to allow the homosexual teacher in the classroom. Our intellect is declining when we stumble backward toward our Neanderthal past, while we emulate Pilgrim and Puritan morals and conduct witch hunts. Who would have believed that laws would be passed to deny anyone legal protection? Who would have believed that courts would have to decide whether people with one sexual orientation deserved human rights while people wjth another sexual orientation didn't? We live in a nation of intolerance, where women still lack formal rights that died with the defeat of the Equal Rights Amendment. Chicanos, Latinos, Native Americans, Asians and immigrants have had their linguistic rights taken away with the passage of English Only in 1988. The test of democracy rests in its ability improve the standard of living of everyone, of every nationality, of both genders and of sexual preference by being inclusive and expanding democratic rights. I really understood how important legislation is to protect lesbians, gays and bisexuals is when a

lesbian friend of mine, who I respect greatly, told me that in order to maintain her business clients that she had to be careful not to let them know that she is a lesbian. She explained to me that since I was heterosexual and had a wife that I didn't have to hide my feelings for her, I could show my wife affection in public and that is "acceptable behavior." Also, I could get married and have the official endorsement and approval of society. She explained that lesbians and gays don't have those same basic rights. They either live their lives in public and take of risk of harassment, loss of jobs and business and ridicule, or they live a lie and keep their lives a secret. Gays, lesbians and bisexuals don't what preferential treatment, they want the basic rights and dreams that everyone else already has. Lesbians, gays and bisexuals are not on trial regarding the legality of the passage of Amendment 2, democracy and the justice system is. The words justice, equality and fairness seem to be lost from the vocabularies of many people, especially the religious right wing, which is working frantically to shape our views. To them I have a question in the form of a poem:

I have friends Who are men who love men And women who love women I have friends Who are men and women Who love women and men I have friends Who, like me, speak Spanish And who sometimes speak Spanglish I have friends Who oppose racism, sexism, and heterosexism Am I a criminal?

defend unless the conversation is one-sided, i.e. editorials in The Metropolitan. You see, the FRSO/DSA can't debate unless given hours at a word processor to carefully craft their words. The College Republicans, however, can stand on the facts and present the facts, in a open forum, with solid, indisputable numbers. This is second time the DSA has agreed to debate the College Republicans only to back out with some whiny, left wing, competition is bad, capitalism is evil, one-sided, unfounded, stereotypical, Socratic irony, diarrhea of lies and excuses. By saying no to a debate, the alphabet soup organization admits that they cannot defend their ideology in a two-way debate and leaves us all wondering if the FRSO/DSA is some AFL-CIO wanna-be or just three students speaking a dead language.

Student Senators Ask You to Vote for CoPIRG On Nov. 16, 17, and 18, elections will be held to reaffirm student support of the Colorado Public Research Group (CoPIRG). As Members of the Associated Students of Metropolitan State College of Denver we ask that students support continued funding for CoPIRG by approving the $4 waivable student fee. Student senators have worked to see that this election can take place. We hope that this work will be rewarded with high student participation in the election and with continued support of CoPIRG. CoPIRG has continually proven itself to be an important organization at the Auraria Campus. In the past, CoPIRG has registered 1,200 students to vote, raised more than $1,500 for hunger and homelessness relief, and helped to win a "Buy Recycled" policy for the City of Denver. CoPIRG recently sponsored the World Reality Lunch which was attended by 60 people. This event raised more than $50 and two boxes of food for hunger relief. CoPIRG is now working to encourage the Colorado Rockies management, as well as concessionaires at Coors Field, to use recycled products. Student support of CoPIRG will allow programs like these to continue and assure that CoPIRG can continue to increase awareness of important environmental issues on our campus. Student support of CoPIRG will also allow opportunities for students to learn research, lobbying, and organizational skills to be created. Please vote "Yes" on November 16, 17, or 18 and keep CoPIRG at Metro.

Disappointment. The second reaction I had after realizing what I had just laughed at.

When someone truly believes that the College Republicans intended to have a hot tub party as homeless people served the eatables, I just have to laugh.

Campus Amnesty International Chapter to Fight for Human Rights

...

Ending torture, as mentioned by prof. Chomsky, as well as opposing other human rights abuses, is the purpose of Amnesty International. Recently a chapter of Amnesty International was established at Auraria. Amnesty International is a movement of common citizens worldwide, working as volunteers to put an end to governmental disregard for human rights. One aspect of A.I. is their demand that "governments ensure in their relations with other countries that there is impartial and objective scrutiny of and action on human rights' violations wherever they occur." Unfortunately, as Chomsky points out in ''The Washington Connection" and "Third World Fascism, The United States", as a result of its dominant position and wide-ranging counterrevolutionary efforts, has been the most important single instigator, administrator and moral and material sustainer of serious bloodbaths in the years that followed World War II. For a majority of Americans this reality conflicts with their ingrained patriotic beliefs that the United States is a defender of human rights, not a violator and major contributor toward these violations. One need be a member of Amnesty International or any

other human rights organization for only a short period before the reality of Chomsky's statement becomes apparent. It is no mere coincidence that a majority of countries documented as abusers in the Amnesty lnternational's 1993 Report on Human Rights World Wide are allies and client states of the United States. Furthermore, the brutality and volume of human rights abuses is in direct correlation to the amount of military aid received from the U.S. On Monday Nov. 15 at noon in the Student Union Room 330-C, Amnesty International will hold its introductory meeting. UCO Professor Glenn Morris of the American Indian Movement will be there discussing the United Nations declaration of the "International Year of the World Indigenous People." Amnesty International was originally dismissed as "one of the larger lunacies of our time" but only through volunteers can A.I. be not a lunacy, but rather a ''world force taking up challenge of human rights, honestly, vigorously, and successfully."

The dramatized account of the U.S. government's intervention and Baca confiscation of Indian land is more than a storyline for MSCD graduate Eric Baca. He believes crimes are currently being committed against Native Americans by private industry and the American government. Baca can be found on campus distributing literature and attempting to inform students about the struggle for Native American sovereignty in Big Mountain, Ariz. His table, usually situated beneath the flagpole in the commons, looks like any other exercise in propaganda. Baca stands by the table covered with an array of literacure, distributing flyers to large ly disinterested students who are e ither hurrying to class or e ngrossed in weighty discussions such as philosophy. history and the latest party.

HopiandN Councils and rights is not just a struggle between tribes, according to representatives of the organization, it is a struggle between a traditional culture and a capitalistic patriarchy. Mike Hyer, spokesman for Peabody's holding company in Flagstaff, Ariz., doesn't believe the dispute concerns Peabody as much as their involvement has made it a "sexier issue for activist groups." Hyer maintains that the Peabody mines aren't in the area, although they've "bumped into the issue" due to their proximity. He said the company has no intention of mining in .the partitioned lands, the former Joint Use Area. Hyer said Peabody makes every effort to deal with the concerns of the . traditionalists. "These Indians express their views through their chapters as well as the Black Mesa Review Board," he said, adding, "If an Indian did have a concern . . . they can come in to us and discuss that and ways we can mitigate that." Peabody feels justified in mining the land since the owners, the Navajo tribe, granted them leasing rights, and the company has made a substantial investment in the mining project, Hyer said. Hyer added that he doesn't understand the conflict between mining for natural resources and respecting the land.

and UCD .MSCD students are among the local members of the Big Mountain Support Group. This national organization strives to assist the traditional elders of the Hopi and Navajo (Dineh) tribes in Arizona in their fight against the forced relocation of the Dineh. University of Northern Colorado professor Dan O'Connor helped organize the gathering to solicit support for the organization. Smith, a grandmother in her 70s has been a part of the struggle for decades. In 1977, she was arrested for trying to prevent the erection of a fence on Big Mountain that would separate the Navajo and Hopi. Deb Walker, an MSCD student involved with

the Big Mountain Support Group, officially welcomed Smith and announced that two films would be shown after Smith's presentation. Smith stood before the group and introduced herself as "a Navajo Indian, a Navajo lady." "We go by Dineh," she added. "We the Indians, we go by the clan, so they know who you are." She proceeded to sing her prayer-song in a high-pitched voice punctuated by seemingly erratic beats on a drum she held. When she was finished, she smiled and said she would sing more if the people wanted. They did. Smith sang several songs: one about Hollywood, one about Colorado and one for the president ("Listen, listen Mr. Government ... I don't know your law .. . Listen, listen Mr. Govern-

ment, I want my own home."). After the singing, she sat down to applause and, waving at Walker said, "OK, open the show." Part of "the show" included activist Leo GriepRuiz's appeal for volunteers to go to the land to help prevent the further impoundment of the Dineh livestock. He said intimidation and harassment of the Dineh have increased. Due to the recent death of Leroy Jackson, one of the first organizers of Dineh Care, and increased tension in the area, Griep-Ruiz expressed a need for caution. "You never know if you 're going to be successful when you're trying to keep something from happening," he said. "If you 're truly successful, nothing will happen. You won't be a hero."

For Baca, this issue is larger than the immediate conflict. "It's not just a matter of the Dineh," he said, "it deals with the environment and human rights." Baca would like to see more students become involved "It's very important for youth to ~ee another alternative so they won't be so confused," he said.

--~ Three MSCD Students Perform as Broncos Cheerleaders

The Metropolitan/Jane Raley

Math major Neely Hunt cheers on the Broncos players.

Victor Anthony STAFF WRITER

When the Broncos dress for a game at Mile Hi Stadium, three MSCD students take to the field in a different sort of uniform. Michelle Passerella, Jenna Hawkins and Neely Hunt, all students at MSCD,

are also Broncos cheerleaders. Michelle Passerella, 18, is a freshman at MSCD and cheered at Arvada West High School last year. Now she gets paid to cheer for the Broncos. "I love to dance, and being able to dance in front of that many people is a dream come true," sh~ said. "And plus, I love the Broncos."

Jenna Hawkins, 22, is a musical theatre contract major and plans to graduate this May. Her boyfriend heard about the cheerleader auditions on the radio and mentioned them to her. "I didn't really pay any attention at first, but then a few days later I got interested myself, saw it as a challenge and decided to do it," she said. Almost 600 women turned up for the preliminary audition, and only 22 made the final cut. Hawkins said she consi째ders it an honor that she made the final cut and said her boyfriend is proud and excited for her. Neely Hunt, 25, is a junior majoring in mathematics. She said she wants to teach high school math when she finishes college. Although she said she isn't planning on a professional dance career, Hunt has chalked up an impressive list of experiences. She moved to Denver from Chattanooga, Tenn. three years ago and was part of the Nuggets' dance team for one season. She then went on to dance with the KS- I 04 dance team before she tried out to be a Broncos cheerleader. She said she started taking dance classes when she was l l years old. "Dancing and the entertainment field have always been sort of a hobby for me.

It's fun, it keeps me in good shape, and I enjoy it," she said. "A lot of people like skiing or some other hobby. Dancing is what I like to do. I'm just fortunate enough now that I'm getting paid to do what I have fun doing." None of the cheerleaders would say how much money they are paid (they said it's against Broncos policy), but they all said the pay was fair. All the cheerleaders also receive two season tickets to the Broncos games. Passerella said the pay depends on how much promotional work each cheerleader does. Passerella said she isn't able to do much more than cheer at the Bronco games. She said she puts the money she earns as a cheerleader straight into savings. She uses the money she earns from her part-time job at an environmental consulting firm to pay her school expenses. Hunt said she uses her cheerleading earnings to pay for school. "Cheerleading is a part-time job, and so that's just how I look at it. And being a student is a part-time job, and it covers my expenses for the year," she said. All three women said they preferred to think of themselves as professional

.Depeche Mode Plays at McNichol's Arena Jennifer Ann McMillin FEATURES EDITOR

For those who wanted to hear the ·tracks from Depeche Mode's newest two ·CDs, McNichols Arena was the place to ' be Nov. 2. But for those who just couldn't get enough of Fletch's drawn-out "tenderly" from "Somebody" the last time Depeche Mode came to town and wanted to hear the older songs again, this was not the tour to attend. The audience did not react well to the opening band. When the lead singer announced that the band had only one more song before Depeche Mode would come, one audience member said, "Yes! last song before Depeche !vfode. Sorry, guys, but you're not as good ... " , Lightning and thunder sound effects . from " Higher Love," the final track off ,the newest CD Songs of Faith and Devo,tion, started the main part of the concert. At the end of this song, the fabric hiding the band fell to the floor revealing the set: five eight-foot cubes outwardfacing surfaces of each cube on the ground level. The band played on top of the cubes, except for lead singer Andrew "Fletch" Fletcher, who was on the ground level. Song number four, "Walking in My Shoes" was the first song to use the screens. The images began with a Native American-style bird drawing moving across the cubes, from one to the next. The cubes' screens stayed active the rest of the performance. The driving beat at the beginning of "Behind the Wheel" verified that the band had the audience's support. During "Halo," the top level of the stage where the band members played revealed a screen about 50 feet wide by 25 feet tall. For most of the performance, this screen was divided into right and left sides. Repetition of one movement was dominant on the screens during "Stripped." On each screen the word " stripped" was written over and over until the originally white canvas was almost entirely black. The screen imagery became more

abstract in the next two songs, "Condemnation" and "Question of Lust." "Con demnation'"s imagery focused on an alternation of hands praying and a body hanging upside down against a red background. "Question of Lust" featured burning crosses and telephone poles and a candle blowing in the wind. Audi ence involvement grew with "I Feel You," the first track on Songs of Faith and Devotion, as the audience sang the chorus several times with The Metropolitan/Abigail Ciezadlo Fletch. Depeche Mode member Martin Gore performs Nov. 3. Spinning lights and solid, rapidly changing colors The band returned for two encore on the cube screens heightened the antic- songs. The first, "Personal Jesus," had ipation during "Rush." The drawn-out the audience moving to the line "Reach pauses while singing along. with Fletch's out and touch faith." The final song played was "Enjoy movements made this song the closest the band would get to the teen-age girl the Silence." By the time the Fletch said appeal in the live version of JOJ ' s his closing "See you next time," however, the arena was anything but silent. "Somebody." The music throughout the show was Ending the set was "In Your Room." The final screen image of the song was strong, as was Fletch's singing. The an empty chair, which resembled the show's excellent sound and strikingly seats in the arena as audience members choreographed screen imagery made the performance well worth attending. stood to cheer on the band.

Dead Can Dance Sells Out Ogden Theatre Performance Jeff Stratton THE METROPOLITAN

In an age where a rock concert can too often be a testosterone-fueled pep rany or a carbon-copy regurgitation of studio work, it's nice to know that live music can still transcend the cliches and posing and provide a real spiritual experience-like the one a sold-out crowd was treated to at the Ogden Theatre Nov. 4. Just as Dead Can Dance are not a typical rock band, this was not a rock concert at all. A mixed crowd quickly filled the silent, unheated hall; and the b~d requested a non-smoking environment. The stage was adorned not with Marshall stacks and fog machines, but a variety of acoustic instruments and drums, as well as floppy-disc samplers and synths. When the band took the stage, vocalist Lisa Gerrard, clad in a white flowing gown, shimmered into view. The rest of the band, including singer/leader Brendan Perry, were an unimposing bunch of Irishmen in sweats, flannels and T-shirts. The moment Gerrard opened her mouth, time appeared to stop. The most valuable instrument DCD possesses, her voice had an effect on the audience nothing short of mesmerizing. Perry was in fine voice as well and projected an air of casual nobility. He moved from guitar to recorder to hurdygurdy to drurn ·with an ease that suggested they were extensions of his spirit. . During Perry's songs, Gerrard sat off

THE METROPOLITAN

to the side, surveying band members and audience as a white glow seemed to emanate from her. A few audience members, however, weren' t able to grasp that this was a different kind of show and were not as reverent as they should have been, prompting one band member to motion the crowd to be still. The other musicians included two keyboardists and a remarkable, extremely physical percussionist who provided a visual rhythm that offset the still dignity of Perry and Gerrard. Although DCD has released seven records over the past decade, the band virtually ignored its recorded work, opting for a set of songs it often performs but has never released. Perry also debuted songs from his upcoming solo album. While the band didn't play any songs from their oldest records, Gerrard stunned the crowd with "Dreams Made Resh," a song from a 1985 side project LP with This Mortal Coil. Gerrard and Perry complement each other. While she transfixed the crowd with her soul-piercing voice and amazing appearance, he embodied a more down-toearth aspect. The variety of instruments used was as striking as the talent displayed. Even the sampled horns and strings sounded organic. The Ogden, though, does not have the best acoustics, and DCD probably would have been more at home at the Paramount Theatre or Boettcher Concert Hall. They deserve it, and judging by the response they provoked in Denver, they could have filled those theatres as well.

athletes, not just sideline distractions. "I see myself as an athlete doing this," said Passerella. "I don't see myself as a dancer necessarily, because we have to be into the game. We have to know what's going on. We ' re part of the Broncos team." Hawkins agreed. "We're trying to reach a higher level and have them (the fans) see us as athletes and as performers, and not as Barbie dolls," Hawkins said. Hunt stressed that the Broncos cheerleaders are professionals. "With professional cheerleading we

atl 11

look at ourselves as athletes. And if somebody doesn't believe that we're athietes, they should come to one of our five-hour practices on a Sunday and they'd know we're athletes," she said. "We work hard." Hunt explained that being a cheerleader for the Broncos is different than high school cheerleading. "On the professional cheerleading level, we are dance lines," she said. "We don't actually do cheers, we're cued off of music instead of voice cues." Hawkins said dance routines vary, depending on how the footbaJI game is going. If the Broncos have a big lead, the cheerleaders try to keep the fans from

getting too bored. But if the Broncos are getting stomped into the turf, the cheerleaders try to work the crowd more and rally the troops. "The point of us being there is to get the crowd going, to promote home field advantage," she said. After graduating in the spring, Hawkins plans to continue to study acting. She has been accepted at a drama school in California, and if things work out, she will move there next summer. Hawkins said she would encourage anyone interested in becoming a cheerleader to try out next year. "You only live once, and you need to follow your dreams," she said.

T h e ancient Greek geographer and historian Strabo mentioned it in his literary work. He was the source and the only knowledge archeolog is ts had that the lost city of Visona Mamertion existed in Southern Italy. One MSCD professor thinks he may have found it. Paolo V isona teaches rhetoric in MSCD's Speech Communications department and has spent the past six years excavating the ruined town that the Italics, a group of indigenous people, settled in Southern Italy's Calabria region. The Italics were neither Roman or Greeks, and they occupied the site between the late fourth century B.C until the beginnings of the Roman Empire. This summer's excavations produced evidence that the site actually is Strabo's Mamertion, and Visona will give a presentation Nov. 11 on campµs on the excavation and his work's findings. "The evidence shows the town has an irregular plan, unusual for an indigenous town," Visona said. His team excavated a central area: major street intersections with a large paved street about 20 feet wide intersected by two other streets at right angles. "We also found evidence of the wealth of the people in the form of imports, such as glass with gold inlay," he said. "The people had sophisticated tastes." In addition, Visona said examples of Italic terra-cotta sculptures that were previously unknown were particularly interesting. Visona operates under contributions of participating volunteers that include students from CU-Boulder, UCD and MSCD. He has been involved with the project since 1987 and moved to Colorado in 1990, where, because of student and other participants' interests, he was able to establish a non-profit corporation, the Mamertion Foundation, to continue the research. Abstracts of his excavation reports have appeared regularly in the American Journal of Archaeology. By next year, he expects to leave the site open and accessible to the public as an archeological park and to open an antiquarian museum in Oppido Mamertina, the town near the site. Visona, originally from Italy, holds a doctorate in classical archeology from the University of Michigan. His wife, Monica Visona, is an art history professor at MSCD. Visona has taught Greek and Roman art and archeology at UCD and will teach at CU-Boulder in the spring. His presentation, sponsored by the UCD Fine Arts department, will be held November 11 at 6:30 p.m. in North Classroom 186. For more information, call 5563033.

'They came out flat, and we killed them.' -Verna Julaton Assistant Volleyball Coach "I was not worried about this match," said Rhonda McMullen, the women's volleyball coach. "At Air Force the officiating wasterrible," she said. "The girls have been geared up for this game since they lost to Air Force a couple of weeks ago."

McMullen said she was pleased with her team's performance, especially the efforts of Chelsea Terrell, Thompson and Wynema Hunter. The match drew a large crowd of more than 500 people, the largest all season. Hitter Katie Horvat said: "We were excited because of the crowd. It's more fun to . play in front of Horvat a lot of people." Sunday, the volleyball team played Ft. Lewis and took them down in an easy match, consisting of three games, 15-8,

15-7 and 15-6. "They came out pretty strong. They beat Regis and UCCS (University of Colorado-Colorado Springs), so you can't overlook them. I was anxious about that game," McMullen said. Last Wednesday, the R.oadrunners played Colorado Christian University and beat them, although the match did go to four games, 11-15, 16-1 4, 15-8 and 15-12. The Regional Championships start Nov. 19, and McMullen said she would know if MSCD would host the tournament by Nov. 14. If MSCD retains the top standing in the Colorado Athletic Conference, it is likely MSCD will be the host. " I don 't see us blowing our chances at Regis," McMullen said, referring to MSCD's current No. 1 CAC rank.

Two Swimmers Meet, Become Best Friends Duncan Burgermeister STAFF WRITER

For most college freshman the first semester at school is a time to meet new friends, move out of the house and find a roommate. MSCD swimmers Tracy Fostvedt and Bill Easter solved all three dilemmas when they met on the swim team during pre-season practice. Fostvedt from Doherty High School, and Easter from Arvada West, are two of Coach Cindy Kemp's best swimmers, and according to Easter they are also best friends. "We met on the team and right away became good friends," Easter said. "Now we live together and we're even Fostvedt better friends." Fostvedt feels the two are compatible because of their similarities in the pool. "We both like to train hard and are really competitive," Fostvedt said. "We hate to lose." Alike in many ways, they are very different as far as their swimming events go. Easter's specialties are the 200-meter individual medley and the 200-meter freestyle, while Fostvedt prefers the SO.meter freestyle and 100-meter breast stroke. "Bill is more of a distance swimmer, while I'm more of a sprinter," Fostvedt said. In addition to their swimming styles, their reasons for attending MSCD also differ.

Easter came to MSCD specifically for the Aviation Technology program, while Fosvedt hasn't decided on a major. .He chose MSCD for the swimming program. Kemp is glad Fostvedt did choose MSCD. According to Kemp, "Fostvedt will be a phenomenal swimmer by the time he graduates, and the Roadrunners are fortunate to have him because he , could have gone to a Division l school." The transition from high school to college was smooth for both swimmers, and they said they haven't had any problems adjusting. "I feel I did great last weekend [Oct. 29, 30]," Easter said. "I'm right where I should be at this point in the season." Fostvedt was even less fazed by the collegiate competition. "I wasn ' t as nervous as I was in high school," he said. "There isn't as much hype." There is, however, one thing the two freshman are having trouble adjusting to, Easter and that is Coach Kemp's 5:30 a.m. practices. " It's tough sometimes, but we help each other get up," Easter said. "Some days I get him up, some days he gets me up," Fostvedt said. "We work good together as a team." Team work, is something Fostvedt and Easter want take to a new level during their careers at MSCD.

The MSCD women 's soccer team closed out another winning season Tuesday, tying Regis University for the second time this year. The Roadrunners (9-6-3) won four straight games before the Regis game, all by large margins. Rosie Durbin, Mellissa Villani and Jessica Montoya provided the scoring for MSCD in their fourth overtime game of

year. In fact, eight of the nine Roadrunners to score points this year will be back in '94. Another underclassmen that should keep Coach Ed Montojo happy for three more years is freshman goalie Chellie McCourt. McCourt led the Colorado Athletic Conference in goalie statistics, shutting out six opponents in the process. Her average of 1.29 goals allowed per game was the league's best. MSCD finished in third place in the CAC with a 3-2-3 record, bringing Montojo ' s overall record to 88-53-15 over a nineyear period. At the beginning of the year the soccer players told us their goals for the season. Some were accomplished, some were not. Cindy Roush, who had knee problems earlier in the season, wanted MSCD's women to take the CAC. That did not happen. Renee Richie wanted the team to go to the playoffs and go as far as it could. Unfortunately, that did not happen either. Trina Gerstner wanted fewer overtime games this season. This year the soccer team had only two Q.T. games, last year it had eight. Durbin' s goal for the entire team was to become a unit and work together. Th~t did happen for the 1993 team .

Talking with women around the country following the publication of her bestselling The Beauty Myth, Naomi Wolf encountered a persistent question: At a time when the basic principles of the women's movement have become mainstream, when women have more economic and political clout than ever before, and when media images of strong and powerful women indicate major change in American consciousness, why do so many women resist the label "feminist" ? In answer, Wolf has written a book of breath- taking originality and insight. As she makes clear, the problem lies not only with outside forces who have scapegoated feminism and painted it as something undesirable; the feminist movement itself has lost touch with the lives of most women. Infighting, orthodoxy, and a narrowing of feminist debate to insider groups have all damaged the push for women's rights. By focusing on women's "victim" status, particular strains of feminism - what Wolf calls "victim feminism" - have missed the chance to attract large numbers of women who would respond better to an appeal to their self-reliance. Fire with Fire brings a message of encouragement: If women can capitalize on recent gains, equality is within reach. But to do so, they need to move from a self-image of weakness to one of great strength, developing a rtew psychology of female ability in which it is desirable and sexy to wield power. It recognizes that both men and women have the urge to be aggressive, possessive, and self-interested; it hates sexism without hating men. Wolf offers concrete strategies for a revitalized, positive, and inclusive brand offeminism that does not divide

•

women by class or s~xual orientation.

Refreshingly free of cant, enslaved to no party lineFire with Fire is required reading for anyone who understands that the human race will not be whole until equality is had. Naomi Wolf is truly a free thinker with a rational plan for the real world.
