MSCD Clubs Won't See Money Until Spring Jim Kehl STAFF WRITER

)

MSCD clubs may have to wait until the beginning of the next fiscal year, which begins July 1, to get funding from the Club Funding Committee unless the Student Affairs Board approves a request for a $10,000 supplement.

According to Lisa Tait, the Club Funding Committee secretary, one-half of the committee's $39,500 budget was gone by the time fall classes began. By Oct. 13, the amount had dwindled to about $1,000, according to the committee's general ledger. ''This is a complete mismanagement of funds," said Marcus Dunn, MSCD clubs coordinator. ''The biggest problem is that the clubs are the ones that get cheated."

According to Maggie Miller, acting director of MSCD Student Activities, although the Club Funding

Committee did not meet quorum at the two summer meetings, the committee gave out more than $16,800 in funds to campus clubs. ''There is a history of problems making quorum at club funding committee meetings," Miller said.

The decision to award the money was a judgment call that weighed two evils, she said.

"By doing what I did, I was letting senate members off the hook," she said.

If she did not award the money, she said, many programs would not have happened.

Miller said there is a few hundred dollars in the account now, but not enough to merit opening it for funding . She said the committee is expecting more money to trickle in throughout the year from clubs that owe money they borrowed previously for fundraising activities.

Once the Club Funding Account accumulates more

than $1,000, the-committee hopes to be able to make those funds available to clubs and to widely publicize that availability, Miller said.

Clubs that were not recognized for the fall semester received funds, Dunn said.

The Auraria Lesbian and Gay Alliance, a club MSCD did not recognize this fall, received $2,400 for events that occurred during the fall semester.

The committee drafted a policy that will allocate portions of the budget to each semester, Dunn said.

The policy will prevent the early depletion of funds and will prevent unrecognized clubs from receiving money, he said.

The committee will recommend that the MSCD Student Senate ratify and adopt the policy.

The Student Affairs Board will decide in two weeks whether or not to give the club funding committee a $10,000 supplement.

1\ E\Y S Conservative Newsletter Takin l <iare of Business Misquotes SACAB Rep .

UCD College Republican Willing to Correct Statement Victor Anthony STAFF WRITER

The chairwoman of the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board (SACAB) claims she was misquoted in the current issue of the newsletter for Colorado for Family Values and plans to ask for a retraction.

Eden Cohen criticized the article that appeared in the November issue of the CFV Report for being inaccurate and using a quote that she denies saying.

The newsletter article addresses the issue of UCD's College Republicans club losing its office space in the Student Union.

The article, "College Republicans Told: Adopt "Gay Rights" Policy or Else," contains the following sentence: "Eden Coen (sic), chair of the Student Advisory Committee to the Auroria (sic) Board (SACAB) personally suggested to College Republican Chair Leah Delay (sic) that her group "go start a Nazi club somewhere else."

Cohen pointed out that her name and the name of the campus are misspelled, and disputed the quote.

"This is false," Cohen said. "I have never said any such thing to Leah, and I've never said anything to Leah or anyone else that was derogatory of the College Republicans."

Local Bar Violates Zoning Permit with Lingerie Show Lisa Perry THE METROPOLITAN

•'

'

Using lingerie modeling to attract more customers may have seemed like a hot idea, but it could land an Auraria neighborhood bar in hot water with the Denver Zoning Administration.

LTD's, 1050 W. Colfax Ave. across from the Auraria campus, has held lingerie fashion shows on alternate Wednesday nights for the past two months, LTD' s manager Jerry Gibson said.

But Kent Strapko, a supervisor with the zoning administration, said the bar has "never been authorized or approved" for the activity by his office.

Gibson was stunned when told that the lingerie shows violated his current zoning permit.

Gibson said he was still trying to contact Strapko to see what he needs to do to comply, but would go ahead with his planned Nov. 17 show whether he could reach Strapko or not.

"We're still going to have it and see

what happens," he said.

Gibson said he began the lingerie modeling primarily to attract students.

"We wanted to do something for the guys in the college, as well as increase the bar's night business," he said.

The modeling does not constitute "adult entertainment" because models' "private parts" are not revealed, he said.

"It's nice clothing," Gibson said. "It's not trashy stuff.

"They're not topless. They don't have to do that. They're not throwing themselves at the customers. [There are] no table dances here," he said.

Strapko, however, said it is not for Gibson to say what "adult entertainment" is.

"He [Gibson] cannot presume it's OK. He doesn't determine that. We do," Strapko said.

Even if the bar is found to be on the up and up, Strapko said zoning authorization is needed for any activity held on the premises that is not currently listed on

see MODELING page 4

Cohen said the club lost its space because its members failed to turn in the required paperwork to be recognized as a club and be allocated club space.

DeLay said the statement about the College Republicans was made at a SACAB meeting. She was not present at that meeting, but was told that someone in SACAB had made the comment.

"I was told, and it may not have even been Eden, somebody in SACAB had made this statement that College Republicans can go start their Nazi club someplace else," DeLay said.

DeLay refused to identify her source and would only say it was someone within SACAB. When asked if she would be willing to retract the part of her statement that attributes the comment to Cohen, DeLay said she would.

DeLay said she h<?lieves it was unfortunate her club lost its office space, but admitted it was her responsibility to file the paperwork for the club to be recognized.

Cohen said she would be taking this matter up with the College Republicans faculty adviser, Student Government and the school itself, if necessary.

"I cannot allow Leah to slander SACAB or me, and these things are completely untrue," Cohen said. "So I will be pursuing it on all levels."

Disabled Students Unite Duane Green THE METROPOLITAN

It didn't take Anne Prather long to figure out that disabled students on the Auraria campus weren't getting noticed.

Prather is a first semester MSCD student and is visually impaired.

"I have become aware that we don't have a voice on campus," Prather said.

With that lack of recognition in mind, Prather joined a group of students and faculty Monday at an organizational meeting for disabled students on the Auraria campus.

"I think it's high time someone does something about it. So, instead of complaining, I've decided to do something." she said.

The meeting focused on advocacy, support and awareness-with an emphasis on awareness.

"Students with disabilities are the easiest group of students to ignore," said Karen Thorpe, MSCD assistant vice president for Student Affairs. "We need to help the Auraria population understand that disabled people don't have an easy time getting around this campus," she said.

The meeting, open to all, was a grassroots effort for students with disabilities to discuss ways to create a good environment for other disabled students.

Participants mentioned a number of ways of gaining recognition on campus,

ranging from posting flyers on bulletin boards to inviting the leaders of Auraria Higher Education Center and the three Auraria schools to a luncheon.

Some of the problems disabled students on campus face are not all as apparent as accessibility or the lack thereof, Prather said.

"Some problems are more subtle than that," she said. "For instance, does dissecting a cat in a biology class actually achieve anything for a blind student?

"The more obnoxious we are, the more money and attention we will get," Prather said.

One participant, Tara Tull, MSCD Coordinator of Women's Services, said MSCD currently has no advocacy program for any group of students.

"I'm interested in disability issues, and I am very supportive of them," Tull said.

Karen Rosenschein, recently-hired manager of Disability Services, said she is surprised that Auraria has no advocacy program for disabled students.

Jeremiah Beasley, an MSCD student who is visually impaired, said he does not want handouts for disabled students, but would rather see students taught how to handle their own problems.

"Blind people, or people in general, need to learn how to do things on their own," Beasley said. "In real life there is no Disability Services office."

Howard Zinn Seeks Truth in History The Metropolitan Staff "Newspapers are not dependable sources of truth, and the government is even less dependable," author Howard Zinn told the audience at the third annual Social Issues Conference, Nov. 13 on Auraria Campus.

Zinn, author of "A People's History of the United States," was the keynote speaker at the conference at St. Cajetan's church. The event drew a crowd of about 270 people.

Zinn campaigns nationwide to encourage people to be skeptical about what they read in the newspaper and what the president tells them.

As an activist in the civil rights movement and a The Metropolitan/Andy Cross protester against the Vietnam War, Zinn has become a Howard Zinn speaks out at Auraria campus Nov. sought-after speaker and well-respected author of several 13 against the abuses of history. books, some of which are used by professors at MSCD.

Zinn said he realized the media was not a dependable source for the truth when, before the Persian Gulf Crisis escalated into a war, 3,000 people in his hometown of Olympia, Wash., protested the United States going to war with Iraq.

The protesters marched to the Washington State Capitol and received only I 0 seconds of local coverage and no national coverage, Zinn said.

The protest did receive full coverage, he said, -in Italy.

Zinn also blamed history textbooks for contributing to the problem by not providing enough information.

Strider Bentson, who attended the speech, said Zinn's experience speaks for itself.

"He was there living it. It wasn't just book learning," Bentson said.

She said no clothing is sold at the bar, but Lingerie Etc. provides catalogs and takes orders .

Shelton's description of the modeling: "Tasteful. It's a little bit sexier than in the home.

"The girls know how far to take it," she said. "The models are not soliciting...

It's done in good taste, within the law."

Shelton said models wear robes with most teddies and undergarments.

If the zoning office decides to take action, LTD's would be given a cease and desist order with a compliance period to modify its permit or stop the activity If the bar did not comply, the bar would be issued a ticket, and the owners would be taken to court. In a worst-case scenario, they could be fined $999 a day, with a 180-day jail sentence. Strapko said there is no cost involved in modifying a zoning permit.

LTD's manager estimates that students make up 50 percent of his customers during the day, but only 10 percent at night. He said the promotion is "working slowly but surely."

Even with the zoning snafu, Gibson said he is still working on another bar promotion: male modeling on Ladies' Nights.

Amnesty International Forms MSCD Chapter Catherine Mejia THE METROPOLITAN

After a three-year absence from MSCD, the human rights advocacy group Amnesty International is starting a new chapter.

Amnesty Intemational's basic function is to write letters to the heads of government that are holding prisoners in violation of international law and therefore abusing the prisoner's rights.

Lauren Caraghar, organizer of the new MSCD chapter, expressed high expectations for the new chapter.

"I hope more students will get involved. They need to be aware of their power," she said. "It only takes 20 minutes to write a letter to a government and maybe save a life."

In an effort to get students involved and make them aware of the importance of Amnesty International, Glenn T. Morris, an associate professor of political science at UCD and a member of the American Indian Movement, spoke at the Student Union on Monday.

Morris said governments are aware of their images in the international scene, and by people writing letters-which is the backbone of Amnesty International's movement-the governments are made aware that their actions are not going unnoticed.

Morris' speech was just the first of many activities.

Amnesty International bas planned in an attempt to resurrect the Auraria chapter. Auraria members of Amnesty International will have weekly freedom writ~ ers meetings and will hold an art show at Auraria Campus Dec. 6 through I 0 in conjunction with National Human Rights week.

Author Says Feminism, Politics Changing ~

jean E.R. Straub STAFF WRITER

Best-selling author Naomi Wolf addressed an audience at the Auraria Book Center Nov. 17 about the changing face of feminism and the impact women have on politics. ,,.

Wolf was in town to promote her latest book, "Fire With Fire: The New Female Power and How It Will Change the 21st Century."

Wolf used the Violence Against Women Act as an example of the power of the women's vote. This year, the Senate Judiciary Committee unanimously approved the act, which would increase penalties for federal sex offenses.

"The same white guys who two years ago were dissing and ridiculing Anita Hill's charges are now falling all over themselves to be the first to bring this act before their female constituents," Wolf said.

Wolf credits Anita Hill for galvanizing women to ~ vote six women into the Senate and elect Bill Clinton, who is "history's first pro-feminist president, a man who says you don't have to cut a woman down to build a man up," she said.

Women make up 37 percent of the Clinton administration, Wolf said. In addition, with the confirmation of ,,.- Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the Supreme Court just last week made the workplace safer from sexual harassment for all American women, she said.

These things are happening not because men in power are suddenly becoming radical feminists overnight, but because their constiruents are bombarding them with phone calls and letters and making their voices heard,

•

Wolf said.

"What I am suggesting to you is that we have to take a look at our real power. Women of all races are not a minority. Women of all races are 51 percent of the population. We are the majority. Women have seven [million] to 12 million more votes than men do, and women have been outvoting men since 1980," she said.

What women need at this extraordinary ruming point is a new self-image, an image where women are no longer helpless victims, she said.

One huge obstacle is that most women passionately believe in the goals of equality but just as passionately shun the word feminism. Millions of women are lost to feminism when it is defined too narrowly, she said.

"Not to mention men," Wolf said.

"If we define this as a movement of women versus men rather than of The Metropolitan/Chas Gordon human beings versus sexism, then we loose some of what should be our Author Naomi Wolf signs her latest book in the Auraria Book strongest allies and the dearest friends Center on Wednesday afternoon. of our heart.

RoBY'i Sc11w.\RTZ The two following Thanksgivings were spent on a tropical island in Western Samoa (that's about halfway between Hawaii and New Zealand, in case you're wondering) where I was serving as a missionary. The first year our slightly homesick group was greeted by a Thanksgiving dinner, which featured a main course of greasy ribs and rice pudding for dessert. To this day I cannot stand ribs or rice pudding! The second year we got smart. We found a picture of a typical Thanksgiving dinner turkey and all the trimmings - which we posted in a prominent spot. It got the hoped-for questions from the women who did the cooking for us and they went all-out to fix us a dinner as nearly like our mothers would have fixed as was possible., considering that turkeys were not to be found in Samoan markets. They even made homemade ice cream for dessert!

And no list of Thanksgiving dinner memories would be complete without mention of the first such meal I cooked as a new bride. We invited several Samoan friends (all big eaters) to share the turkey with us, but I was planning on it also feeding the two of us until payday. My generous husband, however, urged the guests to eat more until nothing was left but the carcass. We ate peanut butter sandwiches for the next week!

Well, have a great Thanksgiving holiday. Don't eat too much, drive carefully if you're traveling, and - oh, yes, get those research papers done!

Give me a break! I read the article in last week's issue regarding the "Bronquettes." I have plenty of difficulty accepting that these young women enjoy "dancing" (more like gyrating) in front of sports fans, but it is terrifying to hear them refer to themselves as "athletes." Excuse me, you are dancers. Maybe you do get a workout in practice, but on the field, you are nothing more than sex kittens. Most people get a decent workout during sex, too. Never have I seen pro-football cheerleaders do anything athletic at the games - I have never seen even a small group of fans follow in any cheer. And the outfits they wear, revealing the midriff and below the navel, and oh so casually exposing just enough of the breast - athletes? I never hear wolf

Bronco Cheerleaders Not Athletes; More Like 'Sex Kittens' on the Field whistles for the football players, do you? They are not out on the field in revealing clothing. Please don't insult those who are athletes. My 16-year-old daughter knows better than that. You are on the field for the hopelessly sexist men at the game, including Pat Bowlen. Funny, for all the years past when there were no sideline dancers, I didn't miss them . What woman would? What feminist man would? It's time these girls were educated about how some men in our society are using them. Until then, the sex kittens will remain on the sidelines, unclothed, gyrating. It's sad.

Thanksgiving Remembered Thanksgiving already? It seems as if the semester just gets started and it's Thanksgiving, which, of course, means final week is just around the corner and then - hooray - Christmas break!

I don't know about you, but this time of year is sort of a memory time for me . What was Thanksgiving like when you were growing up? For me , as long as my dad's parents were alive it meant a huge feast at Grandma's house and a chance to spend time with aunts , uncles, and cousins I didn't always get to see during the rest of the year. In later years my mother always centered Thanksgiving dinner around a duck or goose my dad had bagged on a hunting trip, this in spite of my pleas for turkey "like other people had." I still don't like duck or goose!

A few Thanksgivings stand out as memorable in my adult life. One was the year I was working in Salt Lake City. Since there was no airline connection to my home town in Nebraska and it was too far to go on the bus, I spent the weekend with my roommate in Malta, Idaho. Malta is one of those places that you'd probably miss if you blinked your eyes as you drove past it, but what a wonderful holiday that was! After a Thanksgiving feast that left us so stuffed we could hardly move, we went dancing! It was a community dance to which everybody from the town and surrounding farms came.

Little kids danced with each other and babies slept on blankets in the corners of the dance floor while their parents tripped the light fantastic until midnight.

Comedians Provide Study Break for Students Patricia Sydney Straub EDITOR IN CHIEF

A combination of comedy and diversity entertained an MSCD audience Nov. 11 in the Tivoli Student Union Turnhalle Theatre, as four nationally known comedians' unique styles provided three hours of hilarity.

Toni Vecchio, an MSCD senior journalism student, emceed the show, providing her own comic routine between the four main features.

"I almost got married," Vecchio said.

"The guy I was dating, though, said he wanted to get an education first. So .. . after he finished ' Hooked on Phonics,' I made the mistake of leaving a dictioam nary on the table.

He looked up the word 'marriage,' and he was out the door."

Chris "Crazy Legs" Fonseca opened tht; show with his slow, methodical voice and comedy routine mainly based on his physical handicap of cerebral palsy.

Growing up handicapped presented special problems for him: he said his sister taught him to tie his shoelaces together. Once, he ran away and was found three weeks later at the end of the driveway, he said.

He said one person who knew karate said he was going to beat him up. Fonseca responded, "One good spasm and you're dead."

Growing up Catholic, he was unable to make the sign of the cross, 'The best I could do was the sign of Zorro," he said, illustrating the difficulty he has in controlling his body movements.

San Franciscan Carlos Alazraqui came on next. His high-energy, animated act featured a wide variety of voices,

sound effects and characterizations that added to his zany and hilarious performance.

In one skit he talked about how some scientists think that homosexuality may be genetically linked. "Those protesters outside the abortion clinic yelling 'Baby, killer, Baby killer."' He switches to another voice. "'I think my baby may be a queer,"' The protester pauses and then says "Well,_ go ahead," and he slinks away.

The energy continued its crescendo as Jedda Jones took the stage with her bright, playful, style and booming voice.

She wondered why Brownies and Girl Scouts are taught to sing ridiculous songs when they could be singing important messages like, "I've got something in -Lea DeLaria my pocket, it Comedian belongs between my legs.

Will you put it on yourself so you don't fertilize my eggs?"

Jones' material touched on everything from racism, family and weight loss, "I weighed a hundred and too much," to a skit with credit companies' apologetic, poetic requests for delinquent payments, and then a reverse, belligerent account of what their fancy phrases really meant.

The loudest and most controversial performance of the evening was the openly gay performer, Lea DeLaria.

Her voice was even louder than Jones' as she stomped on stage and said, "I am the biggest, loudest dyke you have ever seen." She then jumped right into the audience. She later made the entire audience, men included, say "I am a lesbian."

MSCD Student Activities made the entertaining evening possible, bringing comic relief to students' busy studying schedule.

CoPIRG Sleeps Out to Raise Money for Homeless Jean E.R. Straub STAFF WRITER

MSCD student Elenka Jarolimek, 20, wore to bed that Wednesday night two layers of socks, long underwear, jeans, a thick wool sweater, a jacket, a "nice, cozy hat" and warm gloves.

"Anything to keep the frost from going into your bones," she said.

Jarolimek and 14 other students slept in appliance-size cardboard boxes on the lawn in front of the Student Union Nov. 10 to raise awareness and about $500 for Denver's homeless. It was the fourth year for the "sleep out," which was sponsored this year by Colorado Public Interest Research Group.

The $500 will go to Central Presbyterian Homeless Shelter and Assistance Program in Denver.

In the past, the fund-raiser benefited Denver shelter Urban Peak, but CoPIRG found that Urban Peak received substantial private donations and decided to seek a smaller organization that would be more

appreciative of the money, Jarolimek said.

Last summer, CoPIRG discovered Central Presbyterian lacked funding.

The shelter houses 70 men and helps them get back on their feet and into society. lt helps them find jobs and provides counseling.

This year was Jarolimek's third year sleeping out.

"I feel it should be a tradition on this campus," she said. "We are a very diverse people. I found out that many of the people sleeping out had gone through the homeless situation in the past themselves.

"Students on this campus probably don't even know it, that the person next to you at one time was homeless."

Because those people were able to get back on their feet, they are a prime example of what is possible, she added.

"We started building our little shanty town around 7 p.m. We brought sleeping bags and layers and layers of clothes. We played music, and we talked about every-

Most indigenous families still wear the traditional Guatemalan costume.

The Maya took this and incorporated it into their tradition, just as they did with Spanish religion and language.

Spend Semester Break Abroad: Earn Credits During Two-Week Trip to Mexico Patricia Sydney Straub EDITOR IN CHIEF

Imagine it is January. Imagine that while Denver is frozen in the jaws of winter, you feel the warmth of a humid rain forest on your skin as you glide down Mexico 's Usumacinta river on a raft-type boat. It's the only route accessible to the ancient Maya ruin of Yaachilan.

The next day you will glide further down the river, hike a few hours through the jungle and reach another ruin, Bonampak, famous for its great Mayan frescos and art, amazingly preserved in time.

All this is possible, and adventurers can earn credit for their journey abroad in MSCD ' s Language and Culture Institute's winter trip "Mexico and the Maya," a twoweek journey into the past.

From Jan. 4 - 18, students will travel to eight sites, including Uxmal, Palenque and Chichen ltza, as well as travel to well-known modern cities of Merida and Cancun.

David Conde, director of the program, has a big reason for traveling to these sites.

"Yaachilan is scheduled to go under water by the end of the century," he said. "The Usumacinta is going to be dammed for a hydroelectric project."

The ancient Maya civilization inhabited Mexico's Yucatan peninsula, Guatemala, Belize and parts of Honduras and El Salva-

••

dor between 2,200 B.C. until approximately 1,200 A.D. Their elaborate culture included the erection of pyramids that were used as temples within the enormous cities. Obsessed with astronomy and mathematics, they arrived at the concept of a zero before Western civilizations did. Their populations mysteriously declined around 900 A.D. However, descendants of the Maya remain in the region and practice their customs and cultures just as they did centuries ago.

Spencer Wong, a senior MSCD anthropology major, went on the two previous winter study abroad sessions. "I really liked Uxmal, its grandeur and subtle beauty is striking." .

Wong hopes to become a mesoamerican archaeologist and called the experience "awe inspiring."

Whether students are interested in archaeology, improving their Spanish skills, or just visiting for fun and sightseeing, students are sure to have a good time.

"The fallout from the experience is a lifetime," Conde said. "It's something you commit not only as a term of time, but also yourself. You are going to be affected and be different person."

Financial aid is available for those who norma1ly qualify. Classes will be held over Christmas break before the trip. For more information call 556-2906.

Students Earn Money for Homeless Shelter SLEEPOUT from page 10 thing possible," Jarolimek said.

The students discussed how $500 meant short-term survival, and how important it is in the future to look at something more long-term such as a tutorial program, J arolimek said. Students could teach computers, math and English to people less fortunate than themselves, she said.

Students also discussed the cold and the hardness of the ground. The early morning is the coldest, when the front begins to spread, Jarolimek said.

"I was ready to get up. It was hardest getting to sleep for me," said freshman Jen Olson, 19, who organized the event with Jarolimek. "I'm so glad I have a home, because I kept on thinking about if

I were really sleeping in a box every night, how difficult it would be and how taxing."

Sleeping out for the fund-raiser is a weak representation of the real thing, Olson said.

"I had a sleeping bag," she said. "I had a couple layers of clothes. I had a box. I had all the security of the people who were there, so it really wasn't that authentic, but it gave me a taste of what it would be like."

The students were in agreement upon the value of the occasion.

"I think it's a really good experience to just have that feeling of appreciating what a nice, warm bed is - the advantages of it," Jarolimek said.

Because she participated in the sleepouts, Jarolimek said she gets a funny feel-

ing when she sees homeless people on cold days in Denver.

"It gives me that feeling that you get when you can't keep warm."

Three other students who slept out this year had participated every year for three years, and one had slept out every year since the first sleep-out four years ago.

It was the first time sleeping out for sophomore Roger Keeler, 21. Bundled in jeans, T-shirt, flannel shirt, winter jacket and sleeping bag, he slept five or six hours, be said.

"I think that we were even lucky that we were there on a warm night," he said.

"We only did it one day. To live like that as a homeless person, day in, day out, especially in the winter, would be terrible."

-coaches Ready for Home Opener Saturday Night Strain, Ross, Smith All Have High Hopes for 1993-94 Basketball Season Andrew Mosier THE METROPOLITAN

--

MSCD's men's and women 's basketball teams kick off their respective seasons this Saturday. The doubleheader pits MSCD's women against Mesa State at 5 p.m., followed by the men's game against Bellevue at 7 p.rn.

Men's assistant coach Craig Ross is confident about MSCD's home opener. " We are coming along really well.

Everyone has met or exceeded expectations to this point," Ross said.

'We are coming along really well.'

-Craig'Ross Men's Assistant Coach

Bellevue will have the advantage of three games under its belt when it faces MSCD Saturday night.

Last season, MSCD had a few problems with Bellevue routing them 108-67.

Bellevue managed only five wins in the 1992-93 campaign.

MSCD returns eight players from last year's CAC second-place team.

"We have high expectations for us this year. We lost the conference title

game last year-we have a re venge motive," Ross said.

Strain is ready to start his first season as the head coach for MSCD's men and said he thinks it will be a good season.

Some players to watch out for are Trent Brotherton, Allen McClain, James Shettleworth and Kenyo Bledsoe.

Not only are the men ready to take on challengers; the women have declared war on the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference.

A confident Darryl Smith leads his women's team into their season opener. " We are making good progress," Smith said.

Saturday is the first game for Mesa State, along with MSCD. Mesa State is coming off a 19-9 season last year, winning the RMAC. MSCD handed Mesa State two of their nine losses last year, 78-62 at Mesa State, and ran over Mesa 76-42 at MSCD. One player who has surprised Smith is Mary Henry.

"Mary has improved a great deal.

We moved her from forward to the post," Smith said.

Smith believes these pre-conference games are important.

"Aggressiveness is important, especially for the early season. We have to be able to play through our mistakes until everyone begins to click," Smith said.

Duncan Burgermeister STAFF WRITER

The MSCD women's volleyball team overcame a hostile crowd and a sub-par performance Friday night, sneaking out of Regis College with their 29th win of the season.

The Roadrunners, ranked fifth in the NCAA Division II poll, put away the 16th-ranked Raiders, and played as if they were looking forward to the upcoming regional and national tournaments.

"We had our moments, but we need to be more consistent," said MSCD assistant coach Verna Julaton.

After a slow start early in game one, the Roadrunners fought back to win 157. In game two, the Raiders took an early lead and held on to win I S-6, setting the stage for two of the most exciting games of the season.

Serving specialist Katie Horvat started game three with three straight points and ended it with four straight. In

With the Roadrunners clinging to a 12-10 lead, Thompson closed out the game serving the last three points in a lS-10 victory.

MSCD is hosting the Regional Tournament Nov. 19 and 20. The Roadrunners' first opponents will be the ever-popular Air Force Falcons.

Rhonda McMullen said she is looking forward to another meeting with the Falcons. In the two meetings between these teams they have split 'the wins.

Regis College and Central Missouri State will also play Friday. The winners of these games play on Saturday and the that winner will advance to the finals.

'We had our moments, but we need to be more consistent.'

"Regis shut down our middles and played well, I'll give them that," Julaton said.
