AHECFires Three Parking Employees

Action on the Court, Not in the Stands

)

Three Auraria Higher Education Center parking employees were fired after an investigation into missing parking funds concluded last week.

According to AHEC's financial records, $133,634 in debit card revenue is unaccounted for from July 1, 1991 to June 30, 1993.

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

Value is added on to debit cards at three machines on campus. The value is taken off the cards at specific parking lot exit machines.

Field supervisors Nancy Evans and David Christner were fired for "failure to follow procedures and failure to do the job duties as required," said JoAnn Soker, executive vice president for Administration.

Daytime coordinator and hut attendant Art Kelso was fired for "willful misconduct," according to a letter he received from Dean Wolf, vice president for operations for AHEC. 路 Kelso said he is in the process of filing a complaint with the State Personnel Board about his firing.

Kelso said he is not certain what AHEC means by willful misconduct and denies any involvement in the disappearance of parking funds.

Evans and Christner could not be reached for com"' ment.

Soker said no criminal charges will be filed against any of the fired employees, and the employees are not being accused of theft.

Chief Deputy District Attorney Rich Keenan said it is AHEC's decision whether or not to press charges. The state may get involved if it can prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that an individual is guilty of a crime, he said.

Auraria Public Safety, which is under the same division as Parking, headed the investigation and conferred with the Denver Police Department and the district attorney's office regarding investigative techniques including video surveillance.

Soker said she does not believe the investigation was biased.

AHEC expects to be in litigation over the firings and was advised by its attorney not to go into details about the 路 situation, Soker said.

At a press conference Wednesday morning, Soker

EDITOR IN CHIEF Nineteen-year-old Sylvia Kathleen Crowell wanted to enter the adult world.

Bouncy and vibrant, during her first semester last fall at MSCD she took the basics: Introduction to Psychology and Sociology, American History, Statistics.

Her efforts earned her a 3.0 GPA. She had cut her long hair. She wanted to be a counselor. She was planning on joining the MSCD choir.

On the night of Dec. 14, 1993, a gunman walked into the Chuck E Cheese pizza parlor at 12293 E. Iliff Ave. in Aurora, where Sylvia worked part-time as a cashier, and shot her and four others in the head.

"She died immediately," said Sylvia's mother, Marjorie Crowell, a nurse and homemaker. "But they must have felt a faint pulse in her or something, because they took her to the hospital."

Although Sylvia was on life support at Aurora Regional Medical Center, her parents requested that she be taken off the respirator, and she was pronounced dead on the morning of the 15th.

The suspected assailant is presumed to have avenged his summer firing from his job as a dishwasher at the family restaurant. It was the worst killing in Aurora's history.

AHEC Changes Accounting Procedures INVESTIGATION from page 1 said the investigation was two-fold. One aspect focused on the criminal investigation, the other on management review.

"I think we found some things that we probably didn't do well as managers," she said.

AHEC will now be more particular about writing down procedures and not as quick to trust employees, she said.

Soker did say that although the procedures were not in writing, all parking employees knew what the procedures were.

Kelso disagrees, saying that there were no procedures.

"You can't fire somebody on procedures when we have no procedures," he said.

After the investigation into the missing funds began, changes in procedures were made and are now in written form, Soker said.

One change made as a result of the investigation was the installation of a totaling device on the debit card machines that calculates how much money is collected, Wolf said.

Before the changes were made, Soker said it was theoretically possible for someone to take money and clear the machine without anyone else knowing that money was taken.

Some of the missing money may be due to mechanical malfunctions of the exit machines and debit cards, but there is no

way of knowing how much of the $133,634 is affected, Wolf said.

AHEC has taken steps to analyze the accounting problems and are considering hiring accounting finns to conduct audits on all cash intake services, Soker said.

King Trimble, chairman of the Auraria Board of Directors, said he is aware of different acx:ounting procedures and independent audits that Soker wants to put into place.

"I'm satisfied with the recommendations and with the changes that she (Soker) said she would put into effect," Trimble said.

Soker said the buck stops with her.

"I am responsible for the operations of AHEC. I'm responsible for trying to safeguard money. Ultimately," she said.

Classified Cares MSCD classified staff members will sport buttons that say "Ask Me, I Care" for the first few weeks of the new semester. The idea, started last fall, is for new or returning students to recognize that they can access a wealth of information from classified staff members.

Art West The MSCD Center for the Visual Arts, 1701 Wazee St., will present "The West As Subject" through Feb. 25. Gallery hours are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Tuesday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday, and noon to 4 p.m.

Saturday.

The exhibit, which includes the work o~ 16 artists from Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, Oregon and Washington, explores the West as a source of inspiration, expressed through painting, sculpture, ceramics, photography, printmaking, and boot and saddle making, with a diversity of styles ranging from traditional to cutting edge.

For more information, call 2945207.

Hours Extended MSCD Clubs Coordinator Jody Andrade and Club Accountant Lisa Tait are offering extended office hours as part of a continual effort to make participating in MSCD student clubs accessible to all students. During spring semester, the Clubs Resource Center in Student Union 255 will be open until 7 p.m. Wednesdays and Thursdays. '

Superior Beings The MSCD Chapter of Golden Key Honor Society held its annual membership induction Dec. 3 in the Student Union. Academically superior MSCD juniors and seniors were initiated into the society, activities for the coming year were announced and scholarships were awarded to the outstandingjunior and senior initiates.

Patricia D. Doherty, a Denver resident, is this year's senior recipient. A history major, Doherty has a 4.0 GPA and has been on the president's honor roll since 1992. She is also the recipient of the American Association of University Women Scholarship Patricia Bock Harris, also a Denver resident, is this year's junior recipient. Majoring in land use, Harris also holds a 4.0 GPA and has been on the president's honor roll since fall 1992. She is a recipient of the Colorado Scholars Scholarship.

MSCD. President Sheila Kaplan and Jerry Geisler, dean of the School of Business, were selected for honorary membership.

Published Faculty Evaluations Get Trial Run Jean E. R. Straub .:- THE METROPOUTAN Published MSCD faculty evaluations, the long-professed "No. 1 priority" of Student Government President Barb Ferrill, are fast becoming a reality.

A pilot sample could be finished as early as February, according to Ferrill.

-~ Institutional Research will compile the information, and Student Government will work with Student Publications on the layout of the sample.

Ferrill and Glennetta Jackson, a student senator and member of the Academic Affairs Committee, presented the plan for an early spring "trial run" and subsequent "full-blown" evaluations to the Faculty Senate at its Nov. 24 meeting.

Sean Tonner, a student senator and chairman of the Ferrill Academic Affairs Committee, who is also involved with the project, said many faculty members support the plan.

"Most of the faculty is for it, as long as it is fair, the ~ scores don't get mixed up and it doesn't become a circus," Tonner said.

Fifteen professors volunteered to have their evaluations from fall semester published in the trial run.

"We had a lot more volunteers than we actually needed," Tonner said.

Results from the trial run will be presented to each • department and faculty will be asked for input, Ferrill said.

"I suspect we'll get a lot of input from faculty at that point," she said.

Jerry Boswell, Faculty Senate president, said the

majority of the faculty will support the publication of evaluations.

"Some will be supportive after they see that it is beneficial," he said.

Initially, only full-time professors would be evaluated, Ferrill said.

"There is a lot of support with the new administration and among faculty. We plan on doing a full-blown evaluation spring semester. It depends on what the reaction is -once it gets going-as to whether it will be mandatory," she said.

The reaction at the November meeting was mixed but overall "pretty positive," Ferrill said.

"There were a few people who had specific concerns, and they voiced those concerns,'' Ferrill said. "We got a lot of really good input."

"The reaction was typical,'' said Vince Orlando, a professor in the Reading department who volunteered for the trial run. "Faculty are unsure what students are looking for, why they want the evaluations published. I wouldn't mind seeing the regular student evaluations published, but there is a tremendous amount of importance placed on student evaluations. There are many other things teachers should be evaluated on."

Some concern among faculty at the meeting was about whether the questions were valid.

"One department did a study on what things students looked for in a professor," Ferrill said. "Evidently they were very different from what a professor would expect," Ferrill said.

It makes no difference what questions are asked, Orlando said. Students do not look that closely at the questions and students are responding in a "global sense" to how they feel about a teacher, whether they like them or not, he said.

Faculty members who get good evaluations are going to get good evaluations no matter what the questions are, Orlando said.

"Students have their own agenda. Students are look-

ing for certain things, and I think faculty and administrators should look at those things ... but there are other things that should be evaluated," Orlando said.

Student Government members considered questions from different surveys and chose eight questions, Ferrill said.

One suggestion from the Faculty Senate meeting was to change the question, "Was the professor available outside class?" to "Was the faculty person available during office hours?"

"It's hard to come up with questions that will apply to all classes," Tonner said.

Student Government hopes to sell the published evaluations at cost or "make it free, if possible," Ferrill said.

MSCD students endorsed the idea of publislied faculty evaluations in a vote last spring.

"All the other colleges are doing it. It's kind of weird that Boswell we're not doing it," Tonner said.

MSCD students have mixed opinions.

Seth Ryan, 24, an MSCD senior economics major, said he picks his classes according to his time schedule.

"I used to go to CU,'' he said. "They had published evaluations, and I never looked at them."

Maria Perez, 19, a sophomore criminal justice and criminology major, agrees with Ferrill making published faculty evaluations a priority.

She said she was enrolled in a class fall semester in which.the instructor missed more than one-third of the class meetings and did not show up for the final.

"I'd like to know," Perez said. "If it's a priority for me to get to class, it should be a priority for the teacher to get to class."

At last check, an indictment doesn't mean a person is guilty nor should it matter.

Well, I say what happens in his personal life should have no effect on when his music is released. Tupac's album wasn't pulled off the shelves when he was arrested and Public Enemy's record sales didn't seem to drop when Flavor Flav was arrested. The music industry is, believe it or not, a business and businesses tend to worry about the bottom line (cash flow).

ell folks it is a new semester and a new game, so here I am again to drop some knowledge (if you can call it

that).

Let me explain a few things before I get started.

This column is my forum to spout off about things that come up and boggle my mind each week, so don't get upset if something creeps out of my gray matter that you don't agree with. It is just my opinion not a statement of fact.

Now with that out of the way let's get on to the business at hand.

I have to go back to a topic that I've already hit on last semester: music.

After the long awaited release of Snoop Doggy Dogg's compact disc, which debuted in the No. 1 position on the album charts, now all the goodygoodies are complaining that his album should not have been released because he was indicted on murder charges a week before the release.

PHOTO EDITOR

o be honest, an arrest usually helps an artists record sales because everyone rushes out to get a copy of the new "bad boy or girl."

I know that I had been waiting to pick up Doggystyle (Snoop's CD) since early July so I was anxious to pick it up when it came out in November.

Just for the record I think it came out appropriately at No. 1 because it is all that was expected and much, much more (check out tracks 3, 8 and 19 on the CD). I don't know of any artists in recent time that have had so much hype surrounding the release of their album.

So my words of wisdom to you are: pick it up, check it out and enjoy it because censorship may rear its ugly head before you can listen to something that is as good as Doggystyle. .I .I. Peace. qv

Help Celebrate Single Parents Day

GRAPHIC ARTISTS

ALFONSO SUAZO like Tiffany Trott, I am a single parent and remember the difficult times that she described in her December 1993 column. There are many Metro State College students who are from single parents.

In 1994, it is time to recognize single parents at Metro State College and throughout the United States.

On March 21, we celebrate the 10th anniversary of Single Parent's Day. In 1994, the Year of the Family, we must change the definition of family. The stereotypical family (consisting of a mother and father living together while the mother stays at home and the father is the breadwinner) died with the dinosaur. The Year of the Family must include one-parent families because it is becoming the norm rather than the exception.

In 1994, it is time to realize that single parents must be honored for the most difficult and most important job in the world: raising children. It is time to celebrate Single Parent's Day!

l\'IARIA C. RODRIGUEZ AI>VERrISING s 路nFF

CORl'.\IA M. LANDEROS OFFICE MANAGER

DEB FLORIN HEIDI HOLLINGSWORTH OFFICE STAFF

Here are 1O reasons why Metro students (and others) need to celebrate March 21 , 1994 as Single Parent's Day: 1. It is already a holiday!

2. More than 40% of all children are raiseded in a single parent home during their childhood 3. The number of single parents (men and women) has increased 200% since 1970, according to the January 10, 1994 issue of Newsweek magazine.

4. Single Parent's Day is more significant than Mother's Day. 5. Single Parent's Day is more meaningful than Father's Day. 6. Children are our future.

7. Honor single parents because the task of combining breadwinning and nurturing is awesome!

8. Single Parent's Day has been a tradition since 1984.

9. The greatest need of all children is to be loved whether they live in a one-parent or two-parent family.

10. There are many individuals who have filled the need of their children with great courage and compassion.

Features Editor Jeff Stratton Lists the Year's Best 1

Daniel Day-Lewis and Michelle Pfeiffer in "The Age of Innocence."

I

've seen a lot of movies this year, only a few of which I've been able to review, so here's a list of my favorites and brief summaries of why I liked them:

I. "Schindler 's List." No contest. The most powerful message I've ever seen in any movie. Spielberg escaped his habitual commercialism for this incredibly touching movie. A beautiful story set in a horrific era that no one should ever be allowed to forget. All I need to say is "See it." Black and White. Universal Studios. R.

2. "Like Water for Chocolate." A fairy tale about true love.

Beautifully photographed with rich color and loaded with symbolism.

The most convincing depiction of romantic passion I've ever seen. A melt-in-your-mouth love scene. Chocolate is supposed to stimulate emotions close to love. Similarly, "Like Water for Chocolate" is the closest thing to love I've seen in a theatre. You won ' t fail to recognize the magic if you've ever been in love. If "Schindler's List" hadn't debuted just at the end of the year, It would have been my first choice. Spanish subtitles. Miramax Films. R.

Ben Kingsley and Liam Neeson in " Schindler's List."

3. "The Piano." Perfect in its oddity. Although it's hard to understand the actor's accents at times, this movie is worth seeing twice. Its unusual setting (a remote bush village in New Zealand in 19th century) and filming techniques make the movie. Its theme is self discovery and self expression. Holly Hunter is marvelous as a mute. She can act better without words than most can with them. The whole movie is immersed in an eerie surrealism that is irresistible. There is a "Wutbering Heights" kind of dark allure in this singular, strange plot. See it twice to catch the symbo ls and subtleties. Written and Directed by Jane Campion.

Produced by Jan Chapman. Best Film at the 1993 Cannes Film Festival.

Miramax Films. R. 4. "The Age of Innocence." I had a hard time deciding between ''The Piano" and this one. Daniel Day-Lewis' expressions alone depict the paragon of suppressed passion. Michelle Pfeiffer is the perfect, patient, slandered Countess Ellen Olenska. The direction is superb with accurate accentuation of the decadence of the anglicized New York near-nobility society at the turn of the 19th century. It also captures author Edith Wharton 's perceptions and writings of that time. This is not

6. DANIEL LANOIS: For the Beauty of Wynona. Between producing mega-successful albums for Peter Gabriel and U2, this ambitious French-Canadian found time to complete his second solo project, a Louisiana-flavored bouquet of songs that aren't afraid to rock out. This CD sounds the way New Orleans looks.

1. SMASHING PUMPKINS: Siamese Dream. This Chicago quartet's sophomore effort is melodic hard rock of the highest caliber. Jimmy Chamberlin deserves credit for his spectacular drumming, and Billy Corgan's guitar sound is both punishing and pleasing. A must.

planet, and the music's blend of Druid drones, ancient hymns and Celtic poetry is unlike anything else you'll hear this year. It's also nice to see them trade their cult status for more mainstream appeal.

hile 1993 wasn't a particularly memorable year on the music front, a few releases stood out among the loads of mediocre stuff that always abounds. Here are a few of the discs that helped make the year a better one. (In no particular order).

2. BELLY: Star. Tanya Donelly (exThrowing Muses, Breeders) has found her niche as the leader of her own band. With passionate lyrics exploding with imagery, and catchy tunes (and videos) to boot, this CD deserves all the acclaim and sales it has received. Last week's Grammy nomination is the clincher.

14, 1994

7. DAVID SYLVIAN/ ROBERT FRIPP: The First Day. This is the best guitar album of '93. Robert Fripp seems to have shed some of his academic stiffness when he teamed up with Sylvian (former vocalist with-Japan). Twenty-first-century funk and roll that's highbrow enough to be called artrock, but isn't boring or pretentious.

8. VERVE: A Storm in Heaven. I'm a sucker

3. CYPRESS HILL: Black Sunday. The ultimate political pro-pot manifesto, this CD is a powerful concept album that functions on both an educational level and a gut level.

There are enough references to automatic weapons to put tu.is in the gangsta rap category, but Cypress Hill have some clever ideas-and some killer bass.

4. RED HOUSE PAINTERS: Red House Painters I. This is the first of two self-titled discs this San Francisco band put out in 1993. Some of the best songwriting you'll find anywhere, with angst, anxiety and soul-searching to spare. Not for parties or depressed people, but songs like "Strawberry Hill" and "Grace Cathedral Park" deserve your attention. Sad but true.

for cool album covers, but this British outfit's debut is as trippy and psychedelic as its artwork suggests. One of the best English imports this year, not counting Newcastle Brown Ale. If you can find it,Verve's fivesong EP is even better.

9. WIRE: The A List: Okay, this compilation CD isn't full of new songs, but this "best-of' from the years 1987-1989 assembles so many excellent tunes from this cerebral, influential band that it made the list. Postpunk angular pop of the highest order. This is the kind of CD you could wear out from overuse. Buy two.

Courtesy 4AD Records 10. PEARL JAM: Vs. I hate hype, and this band seems to surround itself with it, but this album is hard to dislike. Regardless of what else he may be, Eddie Vedder is a talented songwriter. When everyone forgets where Seattle is and what the big deal was all about, hopefully these guys will still be around.

5. DEAD CAN DANCE: Into the Labyrinth. A schizophrenic but ultimately rewarding CD. Lisa Gerrard's voice is too wonderful and strange to be from this

Mentorship Program Hopes to Pave ''Road to Success'' The Mentorship Program is a campus-wide initiative throughthe Stl,ldent ''*w Development Center that sµpports students' academic development and success.

Martelle Chapital, director of the Student Development Center, created the program not only to nurture students but alsoto help guide students through the higher education maze.

You can find the Mentorship Program in CN 112, Rosetta Dubois-Gadson, student coordinator of the Mentoring Program, enters all information for the program into a computer to aid in the matching process.

The MSCD Mentorship Program "The Road to Success", exists to help students adjust better to campus life and also to succeed in a competitive academic environment. The Program was founded in 1992 and The Student Development Center coordinates its activities. The Faculty and Staff Advisory Board assists the Center in organizing its various activities.

The members of the Board as of the Fall 1993 semester are: Robert Hazan, Chair /Political Science Linda Airsman/ Sociology James B. Dixon, Associate Dean/Philosophy Moses 0. ]. Eze/Mechanical Engineering & Technology Michael Garcia/Political Science Morey J. Kitzman/Psychology Mary Ann Loeffler/Human Performance, Sport & Leisure Studies Aileen Lucero/Sociology Virginia ParkerI Accounting Faye Rison/Human Services Patricia Trotman/Student Support Services Valerie Vinestock/Mathematics Carmen B. Williams/Psychology

The Mentorship Program has matched over 85 students since its inception. The Program identifies the Mentors' responsibilities as follows:

• Meetings to discuss the most pertinent concerns of the student; • Discussion on strategies to help students improve their academic standing ( by focusing on such matters as study-skills, organizing study schedules and work schedules); • Informing students about available resources on campus, for instance, financial aid, tutorials, social activities (student clubs), and career counseling; • Assuring the development of a cordial and respectful relationship.

ADVERTISMENT

556-4737.

The Mentorship Program can help students adjust better not only to a .rigorous academic life, but also to student life. At MSCD, an overwhelming number of students miss the opportunity to interact with other s t u d e n t s and are unable to actively participate in student clubs and various activities that take place on this campus. In a way, they have a limited life as students. The Mentorship Program can help students become more involved on campus by helping them think of alternatives to their current arrangements of work and study schedules.

In conclusion, The Mentorship Program aims at helping students o v e r c o m e their isolation and a 1i e n a t i o n , and further, it strives to integrate them into the academic amnumity and make their life as students more exciting and intellectually stimulating.

For more information on The Mentorship Program please contact The Student Development Center at 556-4737I Central Oassroom 112.

'The Piano': Sensuality in a Repressed Era Hunter Excels as Woman Who Finds Individuality in a Stranglehold of Victorian Life Robyn Schwartz COPY EDITOR ''The Piano" is a surreal film set in a New Zealand jungle in the 19th century, but its main characters are white settlers trying to buy land from the natives. Their prudish Anglo manners seem out of place in the wilds, often working with the Maori bush natives, but arguing with others who refuse to sell burial lands.

We are never quite sure whether the settlers are Australian, British or pakeha (white) New Zealanders.

Ada (Holly Hunter), mute since childhood, comes to the Maori island as a mail-order bride for Stewart, the leader in the white settlement (Sam Neill).. Ada brings Flora, her illegitimate daughter with her. Anna Paquin, who plays Flora, gives a skilled and complex performance, perhaps the most genuine performance in the film. I've never seen a child actor elicit such a span of emotion from an audience.

George Baines (Harvey Keitel) is an Irishman who lives on the island and does odd jobs for the community, and has identified himself more with the Maori than with the whites. His face is decorated around the nose and forehead, in the Maori tradition. He seems to have a lot of spare time, much of which he spends conversing with the Maori and relaxing on the expansive limbs of indigenous trees.

Baines represents the more animalistic impulses of humanity. Like the Maori, he owns animals and is enchanted by Ada's music.

"An Angel at my Table" (1990).

This whole movie is enveloped in sensual water metaphors; the film has a feel of womb-like isolation.

"The bush has got an enchanted, complex, even frightening quality to it, unlike anything that you see anywhere else.

It's mossy and very intimate, and there 's an underwater look that's always charmed me," screenwriter/director Campion said. "I was after the vivid, subconscious imagery of the bush, its dark, inner world."

Hunter' s performance is a welcome stretch from past roles of spunky, independent women who refuse to withhold their Holly Hunter and Anna Paquin In Jane Camplon's" The Plano." opinions. Ada is a unique and independent character, but she Stewart tells a white matron on the island that he is seems to have accepted most conventions of nineteenth concerned that Ada might be "touched" as well as mute, after Ada draws keys on the kitchen table and "practices" century marriage; her relationship with her husband is strictly a role-playing one. on it, because her piano has not yet been brought over the Her relationship with Baines is much more real, odd tangled terrain from the beach to their house.

The Auraria pagan club did not perform a single animal sacrifice at its last meeting.

Kerney Williams, founder of the recently-formed Pagans of Auraria Network, is quick to dispel myths about pagan participation in animal sacrifices and Satan worship.

"Most of us are highly ethical people in our personal lives," he said, "and we do not do things like harm animals, and generally do not worship the anti-Christian deity known as Satan."

'Piano' Plays On PIANO from page 15 motives for piano lessons are obvious from the beginning. He tells Ada she can "earn" her piano back a key at a time if she allows him to touch her while she plays. The lessons become something Ada unexpectedly looks forward to.

Although Ada's sexuality is the most taboo emotion in this Victorian setting, it is truly the healthiest of the desires among the characters. Years alone on the island have done strange things to Stewart's and Baines' libidos.

The erotic scenes in th.is movie are intentionally awkward at first, but arousingly animalistic. Both Keitel and Hunter have interesting bodies and it is an artistic experience seeing them twisted around one another.

Although Flora is a loving and free- spirited little girl, the plot as well as the symbolism in the film registers the effects of her mother's unVictorian transgressions have bad on her innocence.

The settlers amuse themselves with highly resourceful plays and games, and we can see the results of the less-prude Maori society on their normally uptight Anglo inhibitions.

This film examines the difficulty Anglo societies sometimes have w'ith differentiating between isolation and independence. Although Ada is cut off by her silence, her world is self-defined and richer than most.

Roadrunners Take Huge Win Over Concordia Kristin Sauls SPORTS EDITOR It didn't take much for the MSCD men's basketball team to walk all over Concordia University, but the Roadrunners put on an offensive show anyway and came up with a huge win Jan. 8.

MSCD beat Concordia 10164, the largest win margin for the season, with the help of 32-point scoring combination of Allen McClain and Chuck Hancock.

McClain and Hancock Jed MSCD with 16 points each.

McClain usually averages nine points a game, but said 16 was good for him.

"They weren't a good team.

Tonight is a big test. (Colorado Christian University) is a good team," McClain said.

Five MSCD players had points in the double figures, but only Dan Kennedy had a doubledouble: 12 points and 10 rebounds.

"We played pretty good defense. We have to play that good of defense or better to have a shot at winning the CAC (Colorado Athletic Conference)," Kennedy said.

Coach Joe Strain said, "Dan had a good game, so did (James) Shettleworth."

MSCD connected 19 of 37 shots in the first half for a 51 percent completion rate. The Roadrunners held the Falcons to only 23 percent, allowing them to hit only 7 of31 attempts.

During the second half, MSCD completed 20 of 40, again keeping the Falcons to a dismal 38 percent, allowing only 12 of their 32 baskets.

"Wes Nelson had four assists and no turnovers. He really controlled the tempo of the game. It was a real plus for us," Strain said.

Wes Nelson said, "It wasn't fun to play them. It was too easy."

Rebounding was also a strong suit for the Roadrunners Saturday night. They pulled down 50 boards, while keeping the Falcons out of the paint. MSCD allowed Concordia 41 team rebounds.

Offensively, the Roadrunners dominated the game. Scoring from three-point range was stronger for MSCD than Concordia. MSCD players hit 6 of their 13 attempts, while Concordia kept trying, dismally connecting only 3 of 16 attempts.

MSCD also had a better free throw percentage than the Falcons, hitting 17 of 20. The Falcons hit only 23 of 32.

"We played well against them, although they were not as strong as some of the teams we played against in the California tourney," Strain said. James Shettleworth was named to the All-Tournament team during that bout.

"There were some good people there that (Shettleworth) had to compete against (for the AllToumament spot)," Strain said.

"We needed a game like Concordia to bounce back from the California tournament. It got us back on track," Shettleworth said.

Strain was happy that he got to play his entire roster, composed of 14 men, instead of the 10 he normally plays.

This gave him the chance to see how the bench can help during normal play time instead of just at practice.

MSCD's record is now 9-4, and the team plays its next home game against the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs on Jan. 22 at 7 p.m.

The MSCD men's basketball team was not in a giving mood as they opened their Christmas tournament, defeating the Mustangs of Western New Mexico University 82-76.

Unlike MSCD's performance in their Thanksgiving tournament, which gave Coach Joe Strain little to be thankful for, the Roadrunners overpowered WNMU, with reserve Kenyo Bledsoe leading all MSCD scorers with 18 points.

"It was a good performance by us," Strain said. " Everyone played hard, I am pleased with the result," he said.

Strain used the depth of his bench to overcome the Mustangs, playing 13 men. All but three reserves saw action for close to 20 minutes. WNMU used only "' four reserves in the contest, two of which were used early, when Mustangs Gary Taylor and Sam James got into early foul trouble.

Pro Athletes Pay for Being Skilled Three Athletes Attacked Last Year

By Kristin Sauls The spawn of recent attacks on professional athletes is appalling. These athletes work day in and day out to be the best they can be for their sport, then some chump with a bad attitude comes along and BAM! Just like that, it's over.

Last spring, Monica Seles gets it in the back with a paring knife from some loon who wants Steffi Graf to be No. 1.

She is just now recovering enough to play professionally.

Next, Nancy Kerrigan gets hit in the legs with a tire iron by some psycho with an unknown motive. She couldn't compete in the U .S . Figure Skating Championships to earn her space on the Olympic Team. The ·Olympic committee was kind enough to save her a space any- way, hoping Kerrigan will be ready to compete in Lillehammer, Norway.

The most recent outburst happened in Maryland last week.

Washington Bullets forward Larry Stewart was shot and stabbed at his house

by four men.

Stewart was shot in the neck and stabbed in the thigh by the thugs who broke into his house, pulled him from his bed and tied him up. .

I am having trouble understanding what makes people want to hurt the world's most cherished athletes. These attackers must be extremely sick people.

People with nothing better to do than.stalk unsuspecting athletes.

Seles' attacker said he wanted Graf to be No. 1, then let her earn the spot. Seles did. She worked hard for years to be the best tennis player in the world. Some idiot thinks that it is within his right to just take that away from her.

Kerrigan was the United State's biggest hope for a gold medal in the Winter Olympics this year. Some loser takes a rod to her knees in an attempt to keep her from competing in the biggest event of her life. Was this a foreign planned attack, or was this a Tonya Harding fan gone bad? We may never know.

And Larry Stewart... Why did it take four men to complete this dastardly deed?

Why was the deed done at all?

The world's athletes are people who were given gifts greater than the average person. Who are these sick people who are trying to take their skills away?

The athletes work hard to refine and perfect their skills. They compete with sportsmanship and try to set role model

examples for children. We need to take care of -our athletes and protect them better against senseless attacks by immoral people.

I think that if Kerrigan's or Stewart's attackers are found, they should lose limbs. They tried to take the athletes' livelihoods away. It is our social responsibility to keep things like this from happening.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that people who hurt athletes should be punished more cruelly than people who hurt average people, I'm just saying let the punishment fit the crime. Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth, etc. I feel that anyone who commits a crime should be treated justly, not necessarily fairly. When a person commits a crime, I feel they have given up their rights. Crime is wrong, and people need to understand it will not be tolerated.

Athletes work just as hard as anyone else to make a living. Their idea of making a living may seem like a vacation to most of us, but it is still work.

I personally do not know anyone who can play basketball for five hours a day and still walk, yet the Denver Nuggets do it every time they play a game. They practice, work out and then play a full game.

It takes a lot of energy, and I admire those athletes who can do it.

These people should not have to worry every time they leave practice or go to sleep at night.
