arking Funds Missing More than $133,000 Discrepancy in Debit Card Usage and Sales in Two Years Antoinette Vecchio NEWS EDITOR

Financial records of debit card revenue for fiscal years 1992 and 1993 reflect a more than $133,000 discrepancy, and a former Auraria Higher Education Center employee said as much as $150,000 has been taken in parking revenue the last two and a half years.

Leslie Edwards was fired from her position as referee for AHEC's Parking and Public Safety division Nov. 19 and claims employee theft of cash in the debit card machines on campus has been ignored.

Edwards said she believes she was fired not only because she knew of the theft, but also because she tried to do things to correct the problem.

"They know who did it and they won't do anything about it, and they won't stop the employee theft," she said.

Richard Alfultis, division director for Parking and Public Safety, said J\uraria Public Safety is conducting an investigation and will write a report on the results of that investigation.

Until Alfultis receives the report, he said he will not speculate on what has happened in regard to the discrepancy, although he said it is.possible that someone is going into the machines and taking out money.

According to financial records, $133,634 is unaccounted for from July 1, 1991 to June 30, 1993.

The records show more money was taken off of debit cards at parking lot exit machines than was added on to debit cards at machines in campus buildings.

Value is added to debit cards at three machines The Metropolitan/Andy Cross located in the Parking and Transportation Centre, the Student Union and the North Classroom Building, The Tran Allard, left, assistant systems and financial manager for Parking Services, accompanies Chuck value is then taken off the' card at parking lot exit Gillen, owner of Gillen Distributing, as he repairs the debit card machine in the Student Union. machines in the PTC, Lot D, Lot H and Lot K. deposits. ancy and hopes AHEC can identify the problem.

National Service Will Relieve Students' Loan Payment Woes Jeff Konrade-Helm THE METROPOLITAN

"I challenge a new generation of young Americans to a season of service ... " were among the first words Bill Clinton said in his inaugural address as president of the United States.

Congress and Clinton buttressed that challenge eight months later by enacting the National and Community Service Trust Act on Sept. 21.

The National Service program is designed to help young adults earn money for college while they help their communities.

Under the new law, past, present or potential college students can earn a scholarship award of up to $4,725 for each of a maximum of two years of community service in focus areas of public health, safety, education and conservation. The money is to be paid directly to colleges for undergraduate or graduate school expenses or to banks to pay off student loans.

In addition, "volunteers" will be paid a stipend ranging from slightly higher than minimum wage ($7,400 for 1,700 hours of service) to double that amount for volunteers working in more specialize fields. Health insurance and child day care will be provided for participants who need them while they are in the active portion of the program.

John Regnell, professor of political science at MSCD, is the chairman an MSCD committee to establish National Service internship programs at the college. He will be attending a conference in Washington, D.C., this week to get more information about what to include in the

grant proposals submitted to the national commission. One point he wants clarified is if it is possible for some awards to be divided to accommodate more students.

"Perhaps one award could be shared by as many.as nine people," Regnell said.

"Then instead of one person receiving $4,725 for serving 30 hours a week for a year, you've got four or five serving_lO to 12 hours a week each semester for $525."

Regnell said he also wants to know if MSCD students will be interested in the National Service programs. He suspects the programs will entice mostly pre-college students and freshmen and sophomores but not juniors and seniors because they may be locked into other commit- · ments.

Carol Jackson, a freshman majoring in education at MSCD, said she would be interested in the program for herself as a way to work through school but said she can see how it would not be for everyone.

"I'm a community-oriented person already," Jackson said. "But for other people, I don't think it will work very well."

She also expressed doubts about now effective the community service programs will be toward solving social ills.

"I don't think a community service program will be enough to do any real good," Jackson said. "So much has been lost from our communities. We need to rebuild [them] first."

Regnell agreed the job is a big one but said this program and programs like it will be a good start toward repairing our communities before we attempt to rebuild them.

James Renfro said he already has his

AHEC Recycling Program Surpasses Goals Facilities Management Needs More Education, Student Input to Keep Program Successful Stevie Griego THE METROPOLITAN

..

Auraria Facilities Management's recycling program has been highly successful, according to recycling coordinator Maggie McConaghie. · "We're recycling around 10 tons per month, whereas we were expecting to only take in anywhere from four to five tons a month when we started this program two years ago," McConaghie said.

The program places containers in hallways to collect glass, aluminum and newspapers, and als~ distributes boxes to all campus offices for collecting lightweight paper.

In 1990, Colorado Public Interest Research Group began a pilot program in three Auraria campus buildings to gain attention for the recycling efforts and to try to get the support of the administration.

"The pilot [recycling program] did well enough that [Facilities Management] took it over," CoPIRG Campus

Organizer Frank Silady said.

Although Facilities Management bas since started its own recycling program, CoPIRG is still very involved in the recycling effort. CoPIRG has adopted the role of educating students about recycling.

'We're recycling around 10 tons a month.'

-Maggie McConaghie Recycling Coordinator

"We inform students of what they can buy that is recycled and how they can recycle," Silady said.

Despite the efforts, some students are still dissatisfied with the scope of campuswide recycling.

"I think the recycling idea is fabulous, but this cam-

pus does little to inform people of how, why and where to do it," MSCD student Janet Dey said.

McConaghie realizes that one of the program's largest problems is the lack of information circulating about it. Facilities Management prints brochures about recycling, but depends primarily on word-of-mouth to advertise the program.

One simple remedy is to place signs above all recycling containers in the hallways, which she said she plans to implement soon.

McConaghie said she is trying to get an appointment with the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board to find out what the students want and expect from this program and how it can be better presented.

"We want to know what students have in mind and how we can get the word out," McConaghie said.

McConaghie said she is always willing to take suggestions from anyone with ideas to improve the program.

National Service Limited to 100,000 SERVICE from page 3 bachelor's degree but is attending MSCD to get his teaching certificate. He said he likes the idea of the National Service Act but it's not for him.

"It wouldn't work for me, but it is a better alternative than having the general population join the military [as a way of earning money for college], Renfro said.

"It's much more constructive for the nation."

Renfro did not rule out the possibility of serving in the National Service program entirely and said he may consider it if he decides to go back to school for his master's degree.

The only major hitch in the program is

that it is limited to 20,000 people in 1994, and up to a total of l 00,000 people over the three "demonstration" years Congress has

'You're going to have far more people apply than can be accepted.'

-John RegneU Professor, Political Science authorized it for.

Because of the Act's limited resources, Regnell, a former Peace Corps trainer, said he believes National Service programs may

become as competitive as the Peace Corps.

"You 're going to have far more people apply than can be accepted," Regnell said.

"The really critical thing is to have some fair and responsible guidelines to determine who is selected."

So far only general guidelines have been set forth by the Corporation for National Service, an oversight agency modeled after the Corporation for Public Broadcast, which incorporates a "grass roots" approach to spread authority to local levels. Regnell said he hopes to receive more specific guidelines at the conference this week.

For more information on the program, call John Regnell at 556-3220.

Seferino Hurtado, director of the Modern Language Lab, Is expecting the lab to be fully operational by the spring 1994 semester.

'New' Lab Almost Ready Duane Green THE METROPOLITAN

•

After several weeks of delays, the MSCD Modern Language Laboratory appears ready to install a state-of-the-art interactive computer program that will replace long-outdated tape recordings and visual aids. · The system uses laser disc players that are connected to personal computers, enabling users to interact "holistically" with the program, according to Seferino Hurtado, director of the lab.

'The system will allow users to listen to and see the language they are learning," he said.

The lab received the computers and laser disc players about three weeks into the semester, but because of various technical problems, the machines have been donnant, Hurtado said.

"After we received the equipment, we found that we needed to reorder some cables, which were found to be inadequate," he said.

The 20 computer systems, which cost $3,500 each, were further delayed because of a purchasing problem, according to Marc Falkenhan, manager of training and student computer laboratories for Information Technology.

"On our purchase order we asked for specific equipment. But when AHEC [Auraria Higher Education Center] went over the order, they tried to substitute a

cheaper laser disc player for the model we had asked for," Falkenhan said.

The requests were based upon information provided to the lab by the United Stated Air Force Academy, which pioneered the technology in the program, he said.

"We asked them if the cheaper model of laser disc player would work, and they said it would not," Falkenhan said. "So, we had to get the Academy to write a letter to the purchasing people and tell them that the cheaper model was incompatible with the system."

Now that the hardware and software are available, the process of setting up the system appears imminent.

Some remodeling may have to be done to make the room suitable for the equipment.

"We might have to increase the airflow ," Falkenhan said. "We had to do the same kind of thing in another lab next door to the language lab. We may also have to add another electrical breaker because of the increased power demands," Falkenhan said. He estimated the total cost would be approximately $2,000.

"It will be a nice addition for Metro," said Norman Mikesell, manager of user services for Information Technology.

The room will be outfitted for the machines over the holiday break and should be ready for use by the beginning of the spring semester, he said.

AHEC Installs New Computer Chips in Machines MONEY from page 1 tions manager for Parking and Public Safety, said counters were put into the machines six months ago to record how much money is collected, but printing a report of that amount is not necessary to take money out of the machine.

Alfultis refused to comment on whether having a key to open the machine would be enough to take money out of the machine.

Chuck Gillen of Gil1en Distributing, the owner of the debit card machine company, said he would not comment on the machines' operations without Alfultis' consent.

Only two people have access to cards for the machines, Alfultis said, but did not comment on bow many keys there are to open the machines.

Edwards , however, said employees often left the keys and the cards lying around various places in the office. She also said there could be as many as four sets of cards and anyone had access to them.

In addition, money was often left lying around and there were no cash handlin g procedures in the count room, she said.

Gillen said he is not sure how many cards have been delivered to AHEC because "we don 't make paperwork on things that we don't charge for."

Edwards sa id Linda Duffy , system and financial operations manager for Parking and Public Safety, asked her to look into the debit card revenue discrepancies.

"When I first started [working], Linda asked me to do an investigation on this and when I made recommendations, they just ignored it," she said. " ...they wouldn't do anything about it. Dick [Alfultis] knew . ... JoAnn [Soker] knew in June ...."

things were going to continue unless maybe some light was shed on them," she said.

Alfultis said recommendations were not ignored, ' collecand there have been changes in the timing of the tions and how money is handed from one individual to another.

APS is reviewing the accounting procedures and are currently working on a report of that review, he said.

"I think I owe the staff enough loyalty and confidence that until that report is out, that we not talk about it. I'm not going to add fuel to the fire that I understand is being fanned by some people who have their own reasons," he said.

The investigation is expected to be completed within the month.

Duffy refused to comment.

The investigation showed no mechanical problems with the machines, and Edwards said she realized theft was a factor when she put a match in the machine to see if an unauthorized person was opening the machine .

On the second day, the match had fallen out, she said.

"That day we were told by Mark Gallagher not to do it anymore," Edwards said, and to stop the investigation.

Gallagher, director of Parking Services, refused to comment. Alfultis said he does know about Edwards' investigation being stopped.

Edwards said her efforts went unnoticed.

"I spent nine months trying to change things internally, and when that didn't work, and I was fired on Friday without any notice ...Then I decided that these 1

n Sunday, Nov. 28, 1993, there was a total lunar eclipse. I read about it in the Rocky Mountain News that day, and I also read these headlines: "Riding the trade winds - NAFTA'S safe passage opens new ports of opportunity," in the commentary section, and "Blood stains Brazil frontier - Settlers battle Indians in Wild West-style conflict," in the science and environment section.

In this story, there is a fullcolor picture of a Macuxi Indian boy with his bow and arrow in the rain forest. There is also a map that shows the state of Roraima in Brazil and the highways the ranchers, miners, loggers and capitalists built near their town of Taxi, (pronounced Ta-shee).

On the piece about the North American Free Trade Agreement, there is a historical drawing of a merchant ship. Author Phillip M. Burgess writes: "The NAFTA decision was important because it establishes the world's largest, youngest, richest, and most multi-cultural trade group - and the most well-endowed with natural resources."

In search of those natural resources, capitalists in South America repeat the tragic history of North America and the United States The conquest of a people, the massacre of an indigenous race for economic opportunity, and the denial of nature. The frontiersmen are rolling onto the South American Indians' ances-

tral lands just as they did to the North American Indians. They've been getting closer since the 1970s. Author Todd Lewan writes: "Then, a military government dedicated to development promoted Amazon settlement and the assimilation of Indians. Dozens of Macuxi were murdered, and the tribe's culture was suppressed in a brutal manner."

I wonder where that idea came from. It sounds like the state of Colorado and the Ute Indians of not too long ago . Or maybe even Big Mountain and the Peabody Coal company of today.

The trade winds are blowing U.S. ships to cultural imperialism while emerging countries follow their historic wake.

One can learn a lot reading the newspaper. Like what to buy for Christmas, as an advertising insert informs me. What can I give for Christmas? What can I get for Christmas? Will it be able to satisfy my mourning for the loss of nature? What does one give that is not materialistic? What does one give to a Macuxi Indian? What does a Macuxi Indian want? What does a Macuxi Indian need?

The next total lunar eclipse visible from North America will be in 1996. I wonder how humanity's dark side will fare in this cycle.

Historically speaking, it seems to be repeating itself just fine.

What does a Macuxi Indian want? What does a Macuxi Indian need?'

Socialized Medicine CoUld Be A Simple System

By Thomas Lyons, MSCD Student For various reasons, I find myself a legal resident of both America and Australia and as such I also find myself paying taxes to both countries.

One tax I have absolutely no objections to paying is the Australian Medicare Tax. Australia is one of the many industrialized nations on earth that has admitted that universal health care is a civil and human right of its people.

Its system is based on those rights and consequen.tly it has, in my humble opinion, the best health care on earth.

In the last five years I have had to use that system twice, once tor a Tram accident and the other surgery to remove a very large tumor. In both cases, it cost me absolutely nothing. I found my care in both cases to be excellent. The scar for the surgery isn't even visible. The system is very simple and inexpensive. It costs 1.25 percent of your adjusted gross income 'On your tax returns and is subtracted from any refunds you may be due, so in effect you never even feel it. There is even a limit of how much you pay. You pay no more than $250 a year!

The system is simple. Each legal resident is issued a Medicare card that looks like a credit card. When you want some kind of service, you make an appointment with the doctor, hospital or clinic of your choice and present your card. It's put into a standard credit card impresser and after your done, the cost is put on the slip and you sign it. Once a month the doctor presents all these "bills" to the government and he receives a single monthly check for the care he/she has rendered.

This is known as "BULK BILLING." It eliminates millions in waste in useless paperwork and eliminates the profit-hungry middleman such as the insurance companies.

The Australian people are some of the healthiest on earth, and they live an average of nine years longer than Americans do. Part of this is due to the fact that when there is a medical problem they can go to a doctor early where as here in America people wait too long because of the expense.

This also helps the economy. There is less absenteeism because of illness, especially serious illness because problems are caught early. Productivity is much higher there than here and the Medicare System pays less in the long run because of early intervention.

Is the System perfect? Not totally, but what system is? It doesn't cover dental work nor does it cover fertility but that's by design. When the

System stopped covering fertility problems it was because multiple pre-mature births from fertility drugs were costing almost a million Australian dollars per incident which was an unfair burden on the rest of us.

On the bright side though, it is still the best medical care in the world, it's universal so when you are out of work you don't have to worry about that issue, and your Medicare card is good anywhere in the Common Wealth. I can drive up to Canada and get free care, nor do I have to worry about medical emergencies if I'm playing tourist in Hong Kong, Britain, New Zealand, etc. etc.

The system that is now proposed is seriously flawed. It is too expensive, double what the Australians pay and there 's no cap on the total amount. It includes the very people who have been the major cause of inflation in medical care, the insurance companies and greedy corporate hospitals that are in the business of making money, not in the business of providing a basic human right... .. health care. It cost fours times as much to deliver a baby in America than it does in Australia!

If you are wondering if there is private health insurance in Australia, the answer is yes, but because it has to compete in the market place with the Government System, it's less than a third of the cost here, and Australians are bailing out of the private system by the thousands each year in favor of the public system. Only dental insurance seems to be holding its own.

The system is also politics free. They don't play silly games and blame medical problems on things like guns or cars. Except for the ultra right wing state of Victoria, there is virtually no gun control and there is little violent crime there as a result.

You can for instance by a machine gun in Hobart (the capital city of the State of Tasmania) as easily as a car, even though cars are the major source of injury in Australia! It's unfortunate that this State and the Federal Government chooses blame inanimate objects for our problems and push its repressive agendas on us using our basic human rights to health care.

I ask Governor Romer and President Clinton to start considering our needs, not the needs of insurance companies, commercial care companies and greedy doctors. I resubmit to you that cheap socialized medicine will increase productivity in our factories, cut costs to our society in general, both economic and social, and help us get back the lifestyle that we once had.

Special Needs Students Want A Chance to Do Their Best

.,-

We hold these truths to be self-evjdent, that all students are created equal right up until finals week, whereupon all semblance of equality ends.

We understand the academic need for hierarchy, and we know there is a purpose to grades.

With this in mind, we wish to establish certain inalienable rights.

We have the right to test& that are fair and accurate reflections of the knowledge we have gained in your courses.

We have the right to test results that we can read and use to improve our knowledge of the course material.

We have the right to know why we have

received the grades we have received.

And, finally, we have the right to grades that bear more than a passing resemblance to what we've actually learned from your courses.

This is why we, who have special needs, fight so hard for test accommodations. Sometimes tests are the only things a professor will see from us.

We'd like our professors to know that we're worthwhile, that we care, and that we have something to contribute.

All we want is the chance to do our best.

Dine People Need Your Support I would like to say thank you to Catherine O'Neill and The Metropolitan for their time and energy in helping to educate Auraria Campus of the struggle for survival of the traditional Dine (Navajo) in Arizona. I would like to correct that it is an estimated 22 billion tons of coal underneath the Dune Reservation and not eight billion tons.

I would also like to respond to Peabody Coal's spokesperson Mike Hyer and his misleading statements in the article. Hyer states that Peabody mines are not in the area - not true! Peabody Coal Company is already mining a 20-billion-ton site under a 35-year lease at Black Mesa. Part of the mine Hyer claims is not in the area is in what used to be the Joint Use Area (J.U.A.). He then goes on to state that Peabody has no intention of mining in the partitioned lands. Ignoring the fact that they already are, let's look at some economics or the money involved with 22 billion tons of coal. In 1981, American Indians received $.25/ton in royalties for coal mined on their lands. Also in 1981, the average price of coal mined on Indian land was sold for $70/ton. So, assuming that the price of coal is about the same and not higher, 22 billion tons of coal would be $1.54 trillion. So what do you think?

Peabody has no interest in having the traditional Dine at Big Mountain removed from their lands and mining there? If you look at a map revealing the coal deposit underneath Big Mountain and then place a map showing the partition line dividing the J.U.A. over it, you will see that they are almost identical.

Also, John Boyden, the attorney who pushed Public Law (PL..) 93-531 through Congress officially separating the J.U.A. and forcing the Dine to relocate off their lands was shortly afterward hired

by Peabody Coal. Pure coincidence or was mining one of the largest and purest coal deposits in the U.S. by Peabody the reason for passage of PL.. 93531? Julian Burger who has worked with the United Nations Working Group on Indigenous Peoples since its origin in 1982 states in his book, "Report from the Frontier."

The situation of the Navajo and Hopi peoples provides an example of the manner in which energy companies become involved in mineral extraction on' reservation land and the role played by the Bureau of Indian Affairs in facilitating their entry on to that land.

If PL.. 93-531 was really meant to settle a "Hopi-Navajo land dispute" then why do traditional Hopi also speak out against the law? Why also would the traditional people of two nations who credits the U.S. government with no authority over their lands need a congressional solution? The facts of this matter are that Peabody wants the resisting Dine off their lands so they can mine the coal.

In the Dine language their is no word for relocation - to relocate for a Dine means to disappear.

The traditional Dine will disappear if something isn't done to stop the relocation effort. Write letters to the B.l.A., Dept. of Interior, President Clinton demanding that the harassment and forced relocation of the traditional Dine people be stopped and that they be included in all actions that will affect their future. There is a working support group in Denver and tabling on campus to stop this - look for us for more info.

POINT

OF No RETURN 路

Single Parents Keep Striving o one but a single parent can know the trials and tribulations that go along with the tough job of raising a kid on your own. Even with the help of relatives and friends the job can sometimes be overwhelming.

I just want you to know I understand how hard it is to go to school, have a job and take care of a baby, so you are not alone.

When the times got tough and I had to deal with one problem after another in my family, I wanted to just sit down and cry. But looking into Brandon's innocent little eyes kept me going and helped me through a tough semester.

It seems that everybody has something to say about us single parents* and most of the time it's not very good. Every time a crime is committed it seems the person who commits it is made out to be from a single-parent home.

I don't buy it. Every criminal in this world could not have come from a single-parent family. I came from a single parent family; and I am no criminal.

Single parents give just as much of their time to their children, if not more, as two parents can. I should know; that thing they call a life is nonexistent to me because I devote so much time to Brandon.

N

I went to see a movie last Sunday for the first time in about a year and a half and had to re-learn how to watch a movie.

I don't know about other single parents, but the first thing that came to my mind when the lights went off was how great an opportunity it would be to catch up on some much needed sleep. I quickly told myself that I was at this movie to watch it, not sleep through it.

It was a great feeling to be out having a good time, but Brandon was on my mind the whole evening. I think I am just destined to not have a life, but if it is because of Brandon, then it's路 all right. I know I am not the only person who spends more time reading Winnie the Pooh than any of my text books.

I am fortunate in the fact that Brandon's dad is there for me whenever I need him because I chose to be a single parent and he understands that.

Being a single parent is not the easiest job in the world, but it is definitely one of the most fun. So don't be so quick to put down someone who is a single parent, you never know what situation you may end up in later on in life.

W

ell the time has come for what I am going to call my semester ending messages.

To anyone (you know who you are) I may have upset or offended this semester I am truly sorry. I will work to make sure nothing like it happens again.

To my two single parent friends Dionne and Donna: You guys gave me inspiration and support at a time when I really needed it, thanks for the talk in the Student Union.

To the staff at The Metropolitan : I want to thank you for giving me something new each and every week to question and analyze.

And finally to Richard Jackson: Do you think this could count for that paper to make up for an those missed classes?

Seasons greetings to you a{[.

Tebedo Far From Expert on Morality To select Kevin Tebedo as an expert speaker on the subject of morality (The Metropolitan 11 /19) must be somebody's idea of a sick joke. Apparently hate is now an acceptable moral value. And by sponsoring Mr. Tebedo to come on campus and speak, the College Republicans and Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship sure have displayed their true colors.

How hypocritical can these two groups get?

Inter-Varsity claims, in name only it would seem, to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ. Yet, no where in any of Christ's teachings is there support for the kinds of discrimination and hate that Mr. Tebedo promotes. In fact, Christ directly opposed Mr. Tebedo's version of morality. As for the College Republicans, how can a group that complains and

f

campaigns so hard against "political correctness" support a speaker whose goal is to install a singular moral code and mode of political thought? It seems that liberals (myself included) don't have a monopoly on political "correctness" after all.

As a Christian and a person who chooses to live by a moral code, I agree that morality is important to our world. But I abhor Mr. Tebedo and his teachings. Hate and intolerance of others are not moral, and history shows the evil which occurs when we accept them as values. Apparently Mr. Tebedo and friends can't, or don't want to, acknowledge that fact.

Study Abroad Offers Break from Classes at Auraria Dustin Alfortish THE METROPOLITAN

-

What if you could be studying on the sandy white beaches of Costa Rica instead of Auraria? If decent hotels were five dollars per day, would you live in one?

According to the MSCD Office of International Programs, these aren 't just hypothetical questions. They are reality.

Every semester, MSCD students are taking a break from Auraria to immerse themselves in a different culture.

Benefiting from a recent collaboration with CU-Boulder, students at MSCD are now eligible to take part in many study abroad opportunities offered by CU. Students can travel to Mexico, China, Costa Rica, England, France and other countries.

Students who have studied or are studying a foreign language can take advantage of the programs handled by the Modem Languages department.

The History department offers a trip

to England. , Magazines like " Student Travels" and "Work Abroad" also chronicle many programs not offered through MSCD. The Office of International Programs wants to educate students about the possibilities open to them overseas. The workshop, "Planning For Study Abroad," covers decisions that must be made before enrolling in a program. A film gives students a visual link to the material.

Alexandra Schuetze, a 23-year-old exchange student from Germany, tells about her experience at Auraria: "Since I am an English major, it was important that I travel to an Englishspeaking country. I like it here. Auraria is a much different campus than those in Germany. It is much more free here."

The Office of International Programs is located in Arts Classroom 177 or call 556-3660.

History students can contact Brooks Van Averen (x3173) for information on the department's trip to England.

Student Legal Services Offers Free Counseling Michelle Jensen THE METROPOLITAN

.•

....-

"I was armed with the knowledge to go to court and win," said Lisa Perry, an MSCD senior, after working with Student Legal Services.

Anything from criminal Adams cases to DUI cases to civil cases can be heard in the office of Student Legal Services in the Dravo building across the street from campus.

Spike Adams, the attorney on staff, spends about 20 hours a week in the office to give free legal advice to students in need of it.

Perry sought help when she wanted to sue her ex-fiancee for $1,000. She said the atmosphere at Student Legal Services is very professional, and the people who helped her were knowledgeable and up front.

She said she was given best and worst case scenarios to help her decide whether to go to court.

Student Legal Services is a free service that is offered to students at MSCD, CU-Denver and CCD and it is paid for out of student fees. Adams said the service costs students $1.30 a semester and can be used as often as needed.

There is no limitation on how often a student can use the services, Adams said, because his office has not been overwhelmed with cases. He wants to be able to spend time on each case to prepare for trial.

"I want to take sufficient time to talk about the issue because people are often upset, scared, troubled, angry and confused," Adams said.

Taking time gives him the opportunity to look at people holistically and give people the opportunity to ventilate their frustrations and concerns, he said.

Lynn, a graduate student at MSCD, went to Adams with a landlord/tenant problem. She said her landlord kept her $775 security deposit after she and her family moved out because he said there was $4,000 worth of damage done to the house. She said her mistake was not signing a walk-through agreement before moving into the house.

"What he's charging us for is normal wear and tear," she said.

Her case is still pending.

Lynn said her advice to other students is to put everything in writing and be thoroughly aware of the lease conditions. She said it would not hurt to take a copy of the lease to Student Legal Services and have it looked over.

Adams said if he is not knowledgeable in the area that a student needs help, he will refer them to someone who is.

"He sought sources on his own and he always got back to me," Lynn said.

He said he has never turned anyone away and is interested in problems that are getting in the way of students' success.

Adams graduated from DU Law School and once had a private practice.

He received his master's degree in social work in June 1993 and has a high regard for the confidential relationships with his clients.

In the three years that Adams has run legal services, he said the number of people coming into the office has been increasing. This is because more people are finding out about the service, he said.

According to Student Legal SerVices statistics, there were 168 contacts during the summer. Most of the cases dealt with landlord/tenant conflicts.

Students who need legal advice can contact Student Legal Services at 5566061.

-Ryan Fune MSCD Student

Ryan Fune takes time out from his job to deliver hot meals.

n a cold November morning, Ryan Fune, an MSCD English senior, sets out in his aqua blue Geo through Denver's freshly fallen snow to visit his clients.

"First we' re going to visit Sydona," he says. "She has cancer."

He pulls up to an apartment on Josephine Street, pops the hatch on his car and pulls out a hot meal in neat, plastiC containers: Turkey breast with stuffing, peaches and cottage cheese, grapes, and liquid supplements. He knocks on the door. Sydona is delighted to see him. With few living relatives, 57-year-old Sydona Young, who is surviving breast cancer and a double mastectomy, lives alone in her small apartment .

Fune is a part-time volunteer for Project Angel Heart, a nonprofit organization in Denver that serves meals free of charge to homebound clients with chronic diseases such as AIDS , Multiple Sclerosis or cancer. The program is designed to create a loving environment and foster healthy ways of living through nutritional, educational and spiritual programs.

Young has been with the program since last March, and she said she is grateful for the meals. "I wasn't able to cook and use my arms at first," she said . " Then I regained my strength and kept it up with the calories and protein I needed." She says the meals and personal contact aid the tough battle against her disease. It has also helped with the healing.

"It's been a real blessing," she said.

Fune drives on a few blocks away to the next clients, who all live in the same apartment complex. He knocks on the door.

"Hey, Chuck," he says as he sets the meal inside the apartment. "Feeling OK today?"

At the next door there is no answer to his Volunteer Patte Henderson delivers hot meals twice weekly during her knock. "They have good and bad days," he says · about the clients.

But the giving doesn't just stop with the melll. Every client receives a birthday card and even a present. "It's a personal touch," Robbins said.

Adding to that personal touch are the 150 volunteers at Project Angel Heart ranging from professional chefs, nutritionists, board members and community participants who cook, deliver and work on a variety of projects.

It wasn't long before Holly Wagstaff, a University of Colorado at Boulder advertising student, turned her volunteer work with public relations for the project into an internship for a worthwhile cause. "Cancer was a big issue in my family," Wagstaff said. "Helping here encompasses taking care of people, anyone who can't take care Of themselves.

Next year's goals include a center for Jiving, a home-like environment that is not for homebound people, but those who suffer from illnesses, Robbins said. It would be a holistic resource for yoga, massage therapy and one on one counseling. It would also work on addiction and other recovery work.

For Robbins it's all part of the giving. "It's all part of 'to give is to receive, it's my most internal gift. I get more love out of knowing this exists and being able to do this and see the amount of volunteerism that exists," he said.

"It's a wonderful gift."

Stuffers Provides Cafeteria Alternative: Harry Gewuerz has Served Food to Aurarians for 13 Years

The Metropolitan/Chas Gordon Harry Gewuerz (r) takes a break from feeding Auraria students at Stutters.

Duane Green THE METROPOLITAN

Join us for Lunch & Dinner Wazee Supper Club 15th&Wazee 623-9518

The old line about the way to a man's heart being through his stomach has taken a different twist. For the last 13 years, Harry Gewuerz has been getting into the stomachs of Auraria students through his Stuffers restaurant at the heart of the Auraria campus.

When he started selling breakfast burritos and hot dogs on campus in 1980,

he operated out of a portable cart similar to those seen on the street corners. In 1992, to increase efficiency, Harry replaced the cart with, the permanent structure that houses the restaurant today.

"It's about 10 feet wide b)' seven feet deep," Harry says. "I should .b;.ow, I built it from the ground up . Put that in the paper that I built it from the ground up," Harry says.

From the time Harry opens at 7:30 a.m. until the time Ken Apodaca, Harry's trusted sidekick, closes - usually about 4:00 p.m. - there is a constant line of students, professors, janitors and administrators waiting in line for a song and a breakfast burrito.

"Hey, we have pretty good food, we're fast, I'm good looking, and I can sing. What else can a guy ask for?" Harry says. "No, actually I can't sing very

well."

"I guess the part about this place that I like the best is the fact that I'm my own boss," Harry says. Besides that, I like dealing with the students. They're fun not hardened."

Ken agrees with Harry.

"The best part? The women. No, no.

I guess it's meeting all the people," Ken says. "It's pretty laid back," Ken says as he's wiping down the counter before closing.

The menu at Stuffers is varied and plentiful. Submarine sandwiches and soda. Burritos and brownies. Hot dogs and hot coffee.

What's the secret behind 2,000-2,500 satisfied customers weekly? " We 're fast, efficient and reasonable," Harry says.

His clientele agrees.

MSCD student Vincent Travis· has been a customer for two years and says Harry's location, between the library and the Arts Classroom, and efficiency keep him coming back.

"It's cheaper than anywhere else and it's fast," says MSCD student Cindy Letkemann.

MSCD student Mark Johnson concurs. "Let me give you an example. I have a small coffee here. Harry only charges fifty cents and it's bigger than a cup anywhere else on campus. It's a better value for my money," Johnson says.

Satisfied with his student-like schedule, Harry says he has no plans to expand.

"I had another restaurant in Arvada, and I closed it because it was to much of a pain in the ass. I just had to keep hiring more people," Harry says. At his campus restaurant, he gets the same holidays as the students. He even gets a month off for Christmas vacation. "It's in my contract," Harry says.

What else can a guy ask for?

Cocteau Twins Retnain Mysterious in Four Calendar Cafe Jeff Stratton THE METROPOLITAN

On their first full-length release since leaving their long-time label, 4AD, London's Cocteau Twins add another chapter to their catalog of atmospheric soundscapes with Four Calendar Cafe.

Despite what you may have heard or read, the Twins' jump from 4AD to Fontana represents neither a departure from their signature sound nor a halfhearted stab at commercial success.

Liz Fraser is actually singing lyrics that can be understood this time around, but the group remains the same insular, private, mysterious unit it always has been.

Cocteau Twins started as one of the first bands on 4AD, back in 1982, incorporating a punk ethic with a dark, yet dreamy and et he-real sound that didn't owe anything to anyone.

Now, 11 years later, the Twins have spawned a legion of imitators (like Britain's "shoegazer" movement of the last year or two), so they don't stand out as much as they used to.

A bit mellower than their last outing,

1990's Heaven or Las Vegas, Cafe has several slow tunes that are feathery and wispy, but still full of dense thickets of multitracked guitar and bass.

The Twins usually close their albums with a song that starts out slowly and builds up to a triumphant peak, and "Pur" does just that, before fading away like a evening cloud.

While "Bluebeard" seems a more obvious choice for a single, "Evangeline" was released a few weeks ago, along with a video that's already being shown on MTV and Denver's own Teletunes. The single also includes two songs that are not on Cafe.

Hearing lyrics in understandable English on a Cocteau Twins record is a shock at first, but this is neither a pop record or a sellout. It's still Cocteau Twins. Fans won't be disappointed, and for newcomers, it's a nice introduction.

'Sex 1s . ••• , Differs from Most Sex Films SEX from page 16 cinematography (Fawn Yacker-cinematographer, Lara Mac and Hrafnhildur Gunnarsdottir-editors) and soundtrack (Pussy Tourette and Donna Viscuso) are artful and effective, if shocking.

Co-producer Helman said the film originally contained only the interviews; the erotic clips were added to spice up the film because test audiences found the documentary boring without them.

"Sex Is ..." definitely not boring. As a heterosexual woman , I was a little embarrassed just pushing the videocassette into my VCR. I remember reading the Mayan flyer advertising the film months ago. "Oh, THAT' s something that interests me," I said sarcastically.

But "Sex Is ... " is not a porno film, nor is completely self-indulgent as a gay film. While it is primarily directed toward a gay audi,ence, other viewers will leave it with more understanding of what it is to be an individual who is gay.

The film shatters some of the mystique and myths of homosexuality, but it does not hide the ugly side, either. "Sex ls ..." reveals a prevalence of promiscuity among many homosexuals and at the same time reinforces the idea of a homosexual as a person first and that not all homosexuals are alike. It reveals the stigma attached to a lifestyle that defines a person strictly by his sexuality. The film even offers a brief history lesson in the origins of the homosexual community in San Francisco.

It is an informative piece that was created to be radically honest about gay lives, according to producer Huestis.

Huestis feels that Hollywood and some independent filmmakers have only so far dipped their toes into the waters of homosexual topics, according to Helman.

Huestis wanted to change that, and with "Sex Is...," he has . " Sex ls ... " the winner of the Audience Award for Best Gay Film at the 1993 Berlin International Film Festival.

MSCD and Regis fought over the regional volleyball championship like true professionals. Each team had its moments of glory and its moments of defeat, but Regis claimed victory in the end.

"We had just beat them the week before, but they [Regis] looked good there," Coach Rhonda McMullen said.

The start of the first game was slow.

Possession changed hands three times before MSCD scored the first point. Regis came right back and took one of its own.

MSCD got control of the game long enough to bring the score to 3-1.

The Roadrunners maintained their pace, with Tracy Thompson and Chelsea Terrell making some great plays, bringing the score to 6-2 Regis took the opportunity to call a

Coach Rhonda McMullen made some lineup changes and the Roadrunners came back 9-7.

Regis scored on a Roadrunner error and continued to rack up points, leading MSCD 11-9.

Play started to get tedious for both teams as MSCD inched back into the game finally reaching 12-13.

Possession changed hands for the next few minutes then Regis got the points it needed to win the first game.

At the beginning of the second game, Regis took a 3-0 lead. MSCD took one point, then gave Regis the ball again.

During the next plays, Regis scored

twice more, keeping MSCD down 5-2.

The Roadrunners got their second point when Terrell started her jump-serve madness. She helped MSCD score two points, tying the game at 6.

After the next timeout, MSCD remained driven and scored two more on Regis, before letting them serve.

Regis came back with two, tying 9all.

The Rangers sneaked in three more, leaving MSCD stunned.

The Rangers maintained their pace, keeping MSCD fans on the edge of their seats with a score of 12-5.

MSCD came back from lagging 9-1 to leading 12-11. Thompson kept Regis awake by making great shots every time she went to the net, helping MSCD lead by 13-11.

Hunter took her turn to serve and got MSCD one more point, then Debbie Guck served last, winning the game for the Roadrunners.

With the match tied at 2 games each, the fifth game would be a rally score.

Whenever the ball changes possession a point is scored.

MSCD jumped on the lead early and held on to it to the very end.

"We were in control of the fifth game, but it's hard to beat a team like Regis three times," McMullen said.

The Roadrunners were up 12-9 and let Regis come back to tie the game at 14.

The Rangers got the calls they needed to win the game and they beat MSCD 16-14.

Regis will proceed to the finals in December.

"The seniors deserved better. They deserved to go to nationals, they earned it," she said.

McMullen said she remembered Hunter saying after the game that she [Hunter] could not believe they [MSCD] had lost, because it bad never occurred to her that they wouldn't win.

MSCD finished the season with 32 wins and 5 losses.

Mens' Basketball Wins Season Opener Duncan Burgermeister

STAFF WRITER

•

The MSCD men's basketball team dominated the boards Saturday afternoon, grabbing 27 more rebounds than Bellevue College, en route to an easy 102-91 victory.

Senior center Dan Kennedy led the way for the Roadrunners with a career high of 19 rebounds; junior forward Andy Owens added 12 more.

"We did a great job on the boards," Coach Joe Strain said. "There were some real mismatches out there."

MSCD, which led NCAA Division II in rebounding differential last year by a 13.5 margin, also enjoyed a balanced scoring attack with six players in double figures.

Owens led MSCD with 20 points and junior forward Greg Balman had 19.

In the first half the undersized Bruins kept it close .with some great.outside shooting.

In fact, Bellevue went in at the half trailing by

only 3, 49-46.

But five minutes into the second half, MSCD had increased their lead to 20 and never looked back.

Some great passes by point guard Wes Nelson, who had 10 assi s ts , and relentless rebounding

by Kennedy, Owens and Al McClain keyed the Roadrunner blowout.

Although MSCD kept the Bruins to 91 points in the game, Strain feels the Roadrunners defense needs some work.

"Defensively we're not playing real well," Strain said. 'The mismatches we had in height hurt us on the defensive end where at times they were quicker."

Strain, who coached his first game as head man after being a Roadrunner assistant, got a chance to look at some of his bench.

Twelve MSCD players saw action, including with nine minutes or more. " We' 11 probably settle on eight to l 0 players," Strain said. "Right now we're just trying to get a pattern going."

Ashton also awarded the Most Valuable Player to Trujillo, citing his key goals and a high work rate throughout the season.

'This guy always came out to play and gave it his all," Ashton said.

-·

Ashton addressed the players, their friends and their parents about his frustrations, but stressed the high points of the season, which included the stunning overtime victory at Regis and the 3-0 shelling of Colorado Athletic Conference champion Ft Lewis on a dreary afternoon at the Auraria field.

"I think the season was frustrating for everyone.

Now we have something to work on for next year,"

"Chad is playing well and has scored several goals already;• Ashton said of his son.

Point guard Qiana Price did it all for the MSCD women's basketball team Saturday, leading the Roadrunners to a 75-63 win over Mesa State College.

Price led all scorers with 30 points, including 14 for 16 from the line. She also added five assists, three steals and three rebounds in 34 minutes of playing time.

"Qiana is a fantastic talent," Coach Darryl Smith said. "And the thing is she can play better."

Guard Sarah Eckhoff joined Price in double figures with 15 points in a game that Smith felt his team didn't play particularly well.

"We didn't run our offense very well.

They [Mesa] just packed it in, and we stood around," Smith said.

"We're very quick, and we like to spread people out," Smith said. "We'll probably see that type of defense a lot."

Price, who was 8 for 17 from the field, was the only Roadrunner who shot well. No one from MSCD hit 50 percent from the field.

The difference in the game proved to be free throws. The Roadrunners who actually had less field goals than Mesa, made 29 of their 38 free-throw attempts.

Aside from the poor shooting from the field, Smith was pleased with the with the way the team played.

"If you noticed, none of the bounces went our way," Smith said. "But we still won and I'm pleased with the effort.

The Roadrunners will have to shoot better in order to win their next game.

"If we play like we did [Saturday] we'll get beat by 30," Smith said.

After losing 80 percent of its point production from last year, the MSCD women's basketball team needed someone to take control and score a lot of points.

Nothing to be Thankful for at Thanksgiving Tournament -~

Roadrunners Place Third, First Time to Ever Lose Own Thanksgiving Tourney Andrew Mosier THE METRO POLITA N

For the first time in the seven year history of the MSCD Thanksgiving 'it Tournament the Roadrunners lost, breaking their 14 game winning streak . The Roadrunner placed third in the four-team tournament.

MSCD opened the tourney facing Dana College from Nebraska. The Vikings came into the game carrying a record of 3-2 - and were not favored to beat the bigger Roadrunners, who had just won their first game of the year.

"We just played lousy defense," said a disappointed Coach Joe Strain. The loss was Strain' s first as head coach.

Lenin Perkins, a senior guard led all scorers against the Vikings, scoring a career high 29 points, despite the 99-89 loss. Jason Jackson led Dana's scorers with 26 points.

The undersized Vikings outworked the >- lifeless Roadrunners, jumping to a 12-point halftime 52-40 lead. MSCD fought back to outscore the Vikings in the second half, 4947, but the effort fell short, giving the Vikings a 10-point victory and a berth into the finals. " We didn ' t play very well ," said Senior center Dan Kennedy.

"We need to play more as a team," he said.

Embry-Riddle (4-0) faced Wisconsin ~

Lutheran (2-4) in the second game of the night. Embry-Riddle, from south Florida, had more problems adjusting to the weather and altitude than to the Warriors, beating them 91-77. This win placed them in the finals with Dana College.

A somewhat revitalized Roadrunner squad jumped all over a Wisconsin Lutheran team, scoring 50 first-half points in the 104-78 rout of the Warriors.

Perkins, the leading scorer the night before, lost control and was ejected four minutes into the game for a flagrant foul on a Lutheran player, who was driving to the basket.

"Lenin will face a one-game suspension for the ejection," Strain said.

The Warriors had a difficult time getting the ball to the basket against MSCD. "We ~mphasized closing the passing lanes, something we didn't do last night," Strain said.

Andy Owens led all scorers for thy night with 21 points and pulled down 10 rebound s. Trent Brotherton led the Roadrunners in rebounding, pulling down a game high 11 boards. MSCD tallied 11 steals and seven blocked shots in an improved defensive effort.

"We played better defense tonight," Kennedy said. " If we can get everyone playing together we will be pretty tough by the end of the year," he said.
