They were all under the influence of alcohol, the report said. According to the report, an APS officer spotted someone on the third floor roof of the Tivoli. After radioing for backup, the officers searched the premises and found footprints leading to the north sid~f the roof. Officers discov that the parties had enter d through an ......'--_. unlocked roof h tch. Wempen Police arr sted Lemak on the second floor of the fonner Club Infinity space, and caught Gomez hiding in a storage closet. As the officers escorted the two down to ground level, one officer spotted Wempen running for the fire escape, and gave pursuit. Once outside, Wempen gave himself up, police said. The report said the three took a television from an unlocked control room and placed it on the bar.

Lemak and Wempen were both members of an MSCD delegation that was under investigation for misconduct and misuse of funds during a trip to Los Angeles for a United States Student Association conference last summer.

MSCD Student Dies in Auto Accident Jean E. R. Straub STAFF WRITER Leif Igo loved the Broncos. His family buried the 19-year-old MSCD student Feb. 7 in his Broncos hat. Igo was killed Feb. 3 when a car driven by student Tara Matta, 20, slid on ice, swerved out of control, crashed through a concrete barricade and hit him in the 500 block of Curtis Street on the Auraria Campus. He was walking from class to his car. Matta was ticketed, but was not charged or injured. The concrete barricade was out of place after an impact from a previous acciIgo dent, police said. The accident that took Igo's life was the second one in the area since Jan. 1. Igo was pronounced dead in the emergency room at Denver General Hospital.
Igo was a student of business and marketing and was the chief sales coordinator at his father's business, Intermountain Satellite Technologies, Inc., a satellite dish sales and installation business. "He wanted to go into business," said his father, Laszlo "Les" Szepessy Igo of Denver. "I was going to give him my business. He could have been a CEO. He could have gone anywhere he wanted. The reason why my company was so successful was because of him." Igo was born Feb'. 21, 1974, in Denver. He was a graduate of Mullen High School. In high school he played basketball, soccer and baseball. A sports enthusiast, he had season tickets to the Broncos and loved to play one-on-one basketball and tennis. "He and I played tennis for hours," Les Igo said. Igo's family and friends were brokenhearted by the news of his death. "When I heard it, I had to make (a family friend) repeat it three times," said Igo's best friend, Sam Corso. "I couldn't move. I was right on the floor." ''It was just devastating," said Igo's mother, Susan Kiefer of Denver. '"That's one call a parent never wants to gel"
At a gathering at Kiefer's home after lgo's funeral, family and friends remembered him as a warm, beautiful, developed and insightful human being. "He was much older than his years," said his brother-in-law, Jon Workmon of Los Angeles. "He was like an old soul. .. He was a very gentle soul," Kiefer said. His sister, Tina Workmon, remembered helping him grow up. The two were kids of ex-hippies, she said. "I'm just trying to be strong for him," she said. Les Igo said the line of people at the funeral seemed a mile long. More than 200 people attended. "My nephew and I had to park a mile away," said Billie Stanton, a close friend of the family. "Nobody forgot this kid." Former teachers, an MSCD professor and even the secretary from Igo's elementary school attended the funeral. "He touched so many lives," Kiefer said. "I want people to know what a promising life he had." ''.Beside my son, he was my best friend," Les Igo said. "I cherished him."
Kaplan Overturns Lights Out! Overload Policy

NEWS EDITOR Student and faculty complaints about MSCD's current course overload policy has prompted MSCD President Sheila Kaplan to overturn the policy. Beginning fall 1994, the policy that was in place before changes were made in 1992 will be restored. In a memo dated Feb. 7, Kaplan said discussions with student leaders and numerous faculty members, along with discussions in her cabinet, have concluded that the 1992 policy was implemented "without adequate analysis or campus input, and have not been generally supported by most college constituencies." The restored policy will be implemented for the fall 1994 semester. The 1992 policy was a bureaucratic nightmare, she said. As the policy stands now, a student must make a written request for more than 16 credit hours. Kaplan said that is "unrealistically low." "I think Metro students are mature enough and capable enough The Metropolitan/Ablgall Clezadlo to decide for themselves how many Kerl Haag of CoPIRG talks to John Swift about energy efficiency during a postcardcredits to take," she said. signing drive to pledge per'째nal energy conservation.

Black World Conference Kicks Off Black History Month Patricia Sydney Straub EDITOR IN CHIEF Redefining education and turning away from victimization is the way to effect change, said Cheryl Presley, keynote speaker at the 1 lth Annual Black World Conference Feb. 3 at St. Cajetan's. Presley, assistant vice president for Student Affairs at Colorado State University, said education should address the issues of race, class, gender and sexual orientation. "What is the education that we need to empower us as a people as our ancestors were empowered? It is our individual and collective commitment and responsibility to care for our world so that people of African descent can be all that we individually and collectively decide to be," she said. Sponsored by the MSCD Institute for Intercultural Studies and Services, the allday Black World Conference examined trends and issues of importance to the black community. MSCD student Vernal Michelle Pope read two of her poems as part of Music and the Black Experience, before introducing MSCD assistant professor Ron Miles, who presented the history of jazz. Accompanied by bass and piano, he performed selections such as "Basin Street Blues" on his trumpet. A panel discussion followed with Issues in the Black World, moderated by Akbarali Thobhani, director of the Institute for Intercultural Studies at MSCD.

MSCD Professor Dies of Cancer Jean E. R. Straub ... _;_
STAFF WRITER Laura Anne Obert's dedication to her students sustained throughout her battle with cancer. Obert, 44, succumbed to the cancer and died Jan. 31 at the Hospice of St. John in Lakewood. She taught physics and astronomy at UCDandMSCD for the last six years, and continued to teach until shortly before she entered the hospice on Jan. 17. About half of her students attended MSCD. "Above all, Obert she loved to teach," said her mother, Beverly Sullivan of Colorado Springs. "This was her goal in life, to teach." Obert was a very caring and giving person, said Martin Maltempo, chairman of the UCD physics department. "It's been very tough, because she was someone we very much respected and cared about," Maltempo said. "And we were well aware of the kind of commitment that she brought to her teaching. "It was really important to Laura to continue teaching, even over the last year and a half when she had cancer. The only way she was able to do that was through the extraordinary support that the staff and faculty provided her with."

THE METROPOLITAN
When Obert could not teach her classes, instructors were more than willing to come in and take over her responsibilities on short notice, Maltempo said. Even while she was employed exclusively by UCD, a significant amount of coverage for her classes came from MSCD faculty and staff. Obert was born Oct. 30, 1949, in Madison, Wis. She graduated from the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs, and attended graduate school at Montana State University.

ere it is, Valentine's Day again. I can tell because men's boxer shorts and women's push-up bras with red hearts on them are on sale in the stores, and there are specials in the candy aisles. Valentine's Day is a nice holiday to celebrate with your true love. Last year I really got into all those interesting valentine specials, and my boyfriend and I spent the weekend in a snowed-in cabin. The holiday is certainly sweet if your hitched, but it can be miserable if you have no partner. or if you're like me, your true love is 2,000 miles away in the Peace Corps in Ecuador. This is no delightful holiday at all! I moan and groan that I will be alone this Feb. 14, while I anticipate my boyfriend's promised calf. In the meanwhile, I ask my friends and family how to fill my lonely heart: My sister suggests, "Make a big salad, sit in front of the mirror, and record a tape to him.· A friend says, "Go to a movie, eat chocolate and cry." Another says, "Go to the Star Trek Show at the Denver Museum of Natural History." I sigh. It's not helping. I know because I had a dream recently that I was desperately calling to my boyfriend and begging, "Come homel I love you!" I awoke alone. I call my mother for comfort and she fills me in on the legend of this celebration: Lupercalia, in honor of the she-wolf that suckled Romulus and Remus, was a fertility feast the Romans' celebrated on Feb. 15. Tokens of love were given out, and supposedly it was the day when birds chose their mates. My parents met at a Valentine's dance in 1959, my mother reminds me. Christians replaced the pagan celebration with the honor of two Christians both named Valentine that were beheaded by Romans. As the story goes my mother remembers one, a bishop, gave poor women gold for their dowry. Dowry? Dowry? I opted for celebrating
Lupercalia and decided to hand make a valentine. In the process, I realized that I mailed out my first true valentine. I remember my introduction to this custom of giving valentines when I was in grade school. The teachers had us decorate boxes at a party and pass around pink and red mini-valentines to everybody. It didn't really mean anything to me except free candy and no class, because I didn't know anything about the specials on red push-up bras and men's boxer shorts yet. I remember some friends of mine once placed an ad in the newspaper saying that they didn't have beaus and would be alone; they'd appreciate a valentine. They listed their address and phone number and on the 14th, they got some fine cards, candy and flowers delivered to their dorm. Now there's one idea to fill up that emptiness. But thafs not my problem! I miss my boyfriend! I am going crazy! I want him to get on the next damn plane and get up here ASAP! This Valentine's madness has gone far enough in tugging at my sentimental weakness. I won't beg him to come home for my crying heart. I will let him make the decision. He's doing what he needs to be doing, and I'm doing what I need to be doing. It's just a long-distance relationship, and time will bring us together again. I remember the popular saying, that if you love someone, you set them free. If the love was yours, it comes back to you. If it doesn't, it never was yours. I love you, Ashwini. Considering the mail, I'm not sure which day my valentine will reach him, so celebrating Lupercalia or St. Valentine's doesn't matter, the gods did their job to remind me about love. Valentine's Day is more than a card or a box of candy. Ifs remembering the one you love and how to love him. Distance does make the heart grow fonder. In the meantime, I hope the Star Trek exhibit is exciting. Thanks Cupid.

Romance: The Search for the Holy Grail By The Rev. Mort Farndu I don't know about you, but romance is pretty tricky for me. It's brought me the highest highs of my life and the lowest lows. 1•ve spent three decades pursuing it as devoutly as a knight seeking the Holy Grail. My 30 years of exhaustive research has qualified me in the courts as an expert in the field, and I'm prepared to testify. Romance, according to my dictionary, involves "heroic or marvelous achievements, colorful events or scenes (and) chivalrous devotion." Sounds a little' like falling in love, methinks. But that's just the first definition. Number four says romance is "a baseless, made-up story, usually full of exaggeration or fanciful invention." Which sounds a lot like falling QY1 of love. So what is romance, a candy mint or a breath mint? Loi I say unto you, it is two mints in one! Romance is certainly marvelous and colorful. Is there anything more dazzling than the wonder of being in love? You know there is magic afoot when people are walking down the street on air. When your life is being blessed by someone you truly care about and admire - nay, worship! - a person who feels exactly the same way about
MSCD Student you. This is the very definition of being in love: it is a two-way flow and self-sustaining. The positive energy you're projecting is not only returned, it's coming back magnified. When you make love in
'So what is romance, a candy mint or a breath mint? Lo! I say unto you, it is two mints in one!' that state of grace, you're touching more than souls. I believe, you're touching a bit of Creation itself. I know whereof I speak because I've held the Holy Grail. ..for a while. Which brings us to the other definition of romance. Is there anything more painful than falling out of love? When you've been abandoned by the person who once filled
your life to overflowing? Never mind why. Maybe he met someone new, or her feelings changed. I'm concerned here only with the what of it. What happens when the blessing becomes a curse that poisons your every waking moment and torments you even in your dreams? If you're lucky, you've got some physical distance from it and time to recover. But you may not be so lucky. You may live in a small town or work with him/her. Your lost love may have taken up with a friend. If you're really unlucky, you've got a kid in the middle of it. I can understand why, under such conditions, some people wind up on the 1O o'clock news. Losing the Grail can be too much to bear for many of us. I know it was for me. Which is why, after 30 years of fighting the Romantic Crusades, I've sheathed my sword. The hormones finally let up in middle-age, so it's tolerable. In a way, it seems only fitting, like putting a good war-horse out to pasture. But there are times, I admit, when I miss the taste of battle. I still dream of the Grail. And I polish my sword every chance I get.
Giving People Same Dignity as Machines Steers Are Raised Gives Them the Chance at Success, Life For Beef Production This is a test. Two people are interviewing for a typesettinglayout job at a print shop. Ginnie is legally blind, but has an excellent talent for spatial relationships. Dave is fully-sighted, but has no skill at visualizing text on a page-a talent most printers say can't be taught. Who would you hire? Unfortunately, Dave will probably get the job. Ginnie is legally blind after all-she can't possibly have the spatial ability the job requires. What pragmatic businessman would look past Ginnie's visual parameters to investigate her spatial ability-an ability based entirely on brain function rather than vision? During the mid-1980s a debate raged over computer systems. Which was best- MS-DOS or Mac? Most people agreed that if you were doing business applications, you were better off with a DOS machine. But when it came to desktop publishing, the Mac couldn't be beat. MS-DOS users didn't go around calling the Mac "operationally challenged." And I don't recall even the most vehement Mac user ever referring to a DOS machine as "graphically impaired." Instead, software developers spent millions developing programs that would improve each system's function in its "weak" area. DOS machines became competent
Back in Scb.ool
publishing machines and Macs learned to process data. We assume computers can function in any appropriate application, as long as they have proper software. The limitations of the system may frustrate us, but we go on. And in the end it's usually impossible to tell which system- DOS or Mac or something else-produced the product or report. If we looked at humans the way we did computers, we'd look beyond Ginnie's vision to see her spatial skill. Then we'd find her a desktop publishing program she could use and give her the job. We wouldn't bother to teach Dave a skill his brain can't accept- we'd find other work for him. It's time to start giving people the same dignity we give computers. It's time to start saying "of course you can." It's time to meet the ADA's challenge the same way the software developers met the MS-DOS-Mac challenge-by developing systems that will allow everyone to be competent and successful. If we don't do this, the ADA will be meaningless. Anne Prather MSCD Student
I'm writing this article in response to an article I read in the January 21 , 1994 issues of The Metropolitan newspaper titled "Sights, Sounds and Smells of the National Western Stock Show." In reading the fourth paragraph of the article I noticed an incorrect statement and I now stand to correct it. Being around livestock for a big part of my life and also being the owner of several champion steers at various shows in the past, I feel obligated to correct this minor statement so people that are unfamiliar with shows and the livestock that are involved will be sure of the correct terminology. A steer-is raised for beef and the steers that are in the shows are used for the same reason but are raised as a better quality of meat and raised to make money for a lot of kids who are wanting to attend college or are interested in doing other things with the money. Raising show steers is a money making business and the steers are bought for slaughter, not bought for studding or creating new breeds of hamburger meat. Steers are not capable of breeding, they are castrated while a young calf and are raised for the sole purpose of beef production. Bon Appeti~ David Carpenter Uenna Thompson MSCD Students

The Time for Truth Has Come:
What Really Happened in Waco?
-·
I find at a time when most news agencies should be aggressively following up on the Waco disaster and the resultant trial of the alleged cult members for murder, that it is curious that an Olympic figure skater and her run in with a bunch of thugs merits such a great deal of media time. Such, I find, is more than generous air time given to one person by the news media. Or is there a deeper reason why the news media seems to be ignoring the trial? From what I have seen, read and heard about Waco I have come to believe that if the real truth gets out about what happened there it will blow the lid completely off the top of the White House. It will end Janet Reno's career and possibly land her and many people involved in the scandal and cover-up in prison. ' Ghostly images of people in dark heavy suits walking through tall grass and underbrush and heavy smoke can be made out from the enlarged video of the Waco Branch Davidian compound as the building _ in the background is clearly burning. They seem to be walking and talking casually to each other like it is just another day's work. What a relief to find out that they are in no danger. I am not in it for the downfall of the president, I want the truth! The news media is so controlled that I have given up on finding only but a fraction of the real truth about anything, except of course, the trivial. "Seek the truth and the truth will set you free," it is said.
But I feel that we accept without protest the government's official story, even when there is shocking discrepancies from a feVJ different sources that clearly show a different picture. It is almost like we as a nation, don't want to know the truth, we fear it, we hate it, it upsets us. It gives us a glimpse of our government that appears out of control, possibly even sinis~er. Instead of alarm bells, the public hears a funeral dirge. Alas, the truth is dead, the truth is not in us, it is in the government. We don't seem to notice just how far we've fallen. In our silence and willful lack of protest, we become accomplices to the crime. By allowing 11 people from the Branch Davidian group to go on trial for murder, we become accomplices in bearing false witness against them by not demanding a full congressional investigation of this matter before any trial begins. I have come to a point in my life where I can't stand hearing anymore "official'' lies passed .off on the American public without saying something and doing something positive about it. I don't care what happens to me, I just can't go on like this anymore, I simply don't have enough antacid. I am a Christian, and I don't want to go before God some day and admit that I knew something was wrong, but I didn't say anything. I couldn't stand that. Robert J. Heartland Concerned Citizen
Athletes Should Live By ·same Standards As the Rest of America, Be Part of Society In response to the January 21, Sports Editorial I'll tell you what more we can ask from professional athletes - how about that they live by the same standards as the rest of the free world. Because they're talented in a given sport we should forgive outrageous irresponsible behavior? Would the average citizen who practices unsafe sex and gets AIDS earn as much respect as Magic Johnson? And why, because he's a good athlete? Do we tolerate blue ~liar-drug-addicts way we do.those who can slam, · tackle or score? If athletes want to keep low profiles then maybe they should shut up and stop promoting
the
themselves in t he form of autobiographies and advertisements. With a small exception I think athletes who shun attention on one hand are trying harder with the other to-receive it. I realize athletes are human, but we all are and should rightfully be treated so. Let's start looking at athletes as part of society, rather than above it. Even if they can fly. C.

Auraria Campus Alive With Historical Flavor ne of the most notable aspects of the Auraria Campus is its blend of architectural styles. While the classroom buildings were constructed during the 1970s, the Auraria neighborhood that existed where the campus is now was one of the oldest and most historically relevant in Denver. Some of these old structures still remain at Auraria and have been rehabilitated and preserved. They provide a visual relief from the monotony of the ubiquitous brown brick classrooms, and offer a glimpse of what Denver was like nearly 100 years ago. Among the most prominent structures at Auraria is St. Elizabeth's church on the east side of campus. It is the tallest building at Auraria. The German Gothic church was completed in 1889, and the interior was remodeled in 1968. It was declared a Denver Landmark a year later, and also accepted into the National Register of Historic Places. Today, St. Elizabeth's is still the Catholic parish for this area. The Emmanuel Chapel, now the Emmanuel Gallery, is the oldest surviving church structure in Denver. Called a blend of Gothic and Romanesque architecture, it was built in 1859. It's been an Episcopalian chapel, a mission, a Sunday school, a synagogue and an artist's studio. Like St. Elizabeth's, it was placed on the National Register of Historical Places in 1969. In 1973,

while the campus was being constructed, Emmanuel became a art gallery that is currently used by all three Auraria schools. St. Cajetan's is known to most Auraria students as "the place where they pass out financial aid checks." Consecrated in 1926, the church quickly added a convent, rectory, school, credit union and health clinic. In 1975, St. Cajetan's became part of the campus, and the parish was moved to a new location on West Alameda Avenue. Ninth Street Park has come to symbolize Auraria's desire to protect and preserve the older structures in the area. A project called Historic Denver began restoring older structures of historical significance in the early 1970s. The Molly Brown house on Capitol Hill was followed by the restoration of what Auraria Higher Education Commission Communications Director Rosemary Fetter calls "the oldest neighborhood on Denver." "The reason this particular block was chosen had to do with the widest range of architectural styles present in one neighborhood," says Fetter. "The oldest house was built in 1872, the newest in 1906." Also on Ninth Street was Groussman's grocery, now the Mercantile, and La Casa Mayan, a Mexican restaurant that operated from 1947 until the early 1970s. Originally at 1020 Ninth, the popular eatery "introduced the chile relleno to Denver," says

Upward Bound Redirects High School Kids Michael BeDan The Metropolitan
~
Seventy Denver area high school students are right here among us at MSCD. They look like us and act like us, but they're often better prepared to attend college than we are. They are members of the Denver Upward Bound program that serves five target high schools, including Manual, North, East, West and Lincoln. Upward Bound works directly with high school students from the time they are sophomores until they go to college. They attend math and English classes twice a week at MSCD and are offered tutoring three days a week. They have access to the same privileges that MSCD students ha\- e and are given student ID's. Project Director Charles Maldonado explained the goals of Upward Bound. "The goal is to assist low-income and first-generation college-bound students, and to help them gain the necessary skills and motivation to complete high school and pursue some form of higher education," he said. It works. Maldonado said that every student who has remained in the program throughout high school has graduated from high school. He studied 137 Upward Bound students from 1981-1988 and found that 35 percent graduated from college and 38 percent were still in college or were employed. College success stems from preparation. When Upward Bound students graduate from high school, they take entry level speech and English classes through

the program and complete six transferable college credit hours before ever attending college. Michael Jujan is a senior at West High School and will attend the University of Northern Colorado next year. He dreams of playing professional baseball, but he concerns himself with education first. "Upward Bound has given me a new perspective on studies and the importance of school," he said. "I will probably have a 4.0 grade point average when I graduate this spring, and I will be a political science major at UNC." Students in the program are focused and seem to know exactly what they want to do in college. East high school senior Johnny Levy has already been accepted to Colorado State University, but may attend the University of Colorado. He wants to study journalism if he goes to CSU and technical journalism if he chooses CU. "The program has helped me focus on my education, and it's nice to have use of MSCD faculties for studying purposes and recreation," he said. Charles Maldonado has been the project director for 13 years and has seen the fruits of Upward Bound labor during his tenure. Many of the people who now work for Upward Bound are former members of the program. "There is a lot to this program," he said, "but it ' s not all work and no fun." Maldonado takes the students on various outings to compensate them for their hard work.

THE METROPOLITAN
MSCD Freshman Pilots The Fringe 路路
Dave Flomberg The Metropolitan An MSCD freshman, Eric Baines, is the lead singer and bassist for the new pop-rock group The Fringe, who have just released their debut album, Out From the Inside. If you are looking for a hard core type of sound, you won't find it here. But if you're looking for an album with a mixture of different influences, you'll find that and more on this disc. Drawing from styles such as hip-hop, rock, funk, and jazz, this album demonstrates a patience of style uncommon to today's younger groups. No grunge or heavy metal here. These guys are out to send a positive image and do it with virtuosity and talent. Other members of The Fringe include vocalist and keyboardist Tone Hanuman, guitarist Steve Baines, and drummer Kevin Lehman. Out From The lnside is a nice blend of 10 songs, each with its own personality and sound. In an interview with Baines and Hanuman, they talked about where they come from and where they hope to go. "We're on the fringe of a whole lot of different music. That's where the name comes from," says Baines. "We're not one of those three-chord bands, yelling and screaming and getting away with it," continues Hanuman. "It's a business. We take ourselves and our music very seriously. We're not the type of group that goes to a gig and gets so drunk that the fourth set only sounds good to us." Eric continues, "Our dress code for live performances is not ripped up jeans and a Tshirt. It all comes down to marketability." It quickly becomes obvious that these guys take themselves seriously. They have assumed responsibility for the entire workload of promotions, recording, production, mixing and engineering, not to mention the writing and performing. Their self-promotion has gained them spot on "Good Afternoon Colorado," and gigs
"I wonder if I should've stayed in college and gone for an astronomy degree."
all over the state. They can also be heard on local radio stations KBCO and KTCL. "I have a vision, and that's a pretty powerful thing," says Baines of his group's future. He has been working hard to get as much exposure as possible, with record distribution at Wax Trax, Replays, and Rocky Mountain Records and Tapes, all in Denver and Boulder; Albums On The Hill in Boulder; and ABCDs, Atsar CDs and Front Range CDs all in Fort Collins. As Baines says, "You've got to blow your own horn. No one else will." Baines knows there is more to the music business than just music. "We own ourselves, and I'll see to it we stay that way. Once we've laid down the recording, the art part is over. Then it becomes a matter of business." That's
where Hanum an comes in handy. Being an economics major at CU-Boulder has contributed greatly to the professionalism of the group. The Fringe is nothing if not a talented ensemble. The vocal harmonies blend well, and the instrumental work is tight. Coupled with powerful lyrics like, "It's hard enough to realize you're in hell, but you haven't died," (Throw Me Out a Line), this lends itself to an overall excellent recording. Upcoming gigs for The Fringe include Feb. 8 and March 28 at 10 p.m. at The Sink in Boulder, and May 5 at Patrick's in Aurora. To get on The Fringe's mailing list, or for information about the group and their CD, contact Eric Baines, 1220 W. Sixth Ave, Broomfield, CO, 80020, or call 466-4402.

Dear M.C. Last year Istopped smoking cigarettes after a habit of 15 years. It was very hard and I still get the urge to smoke. Lately, I hove been wondering if I ought to stop smoking pol. I'm not a big smoker. Usually, I smoke only part of o joint after dinner to relax ond Idon't feel addicted to it, but I've heard it can effed my motivation. Iwas laid off lost summer and I haven't been very organized about looking for another jab. I've stopped smoking pot now for a week, and I haven't noticed any big change in myself._so why should I give it up? Signed, Confused

Dear Confused: Thanks for sharing your concerns that may be shared by others. There are approximately 6 nillion Americans who smoke pol doily. Unfortunately, you may be addicted to marijuana and not be owore of it. People smoke pot for a variety of reasons. One of the most frequent reasons is lo relax, and forget about uncomfortable situations that they are in. Dr. Don Sugar, psychologist al the Counseling Center and expert on drug addictions,~xins: •Research on mon)Jona has been linked to whot is caHed Amotivalionol Syndrome." Amotivational S rome is rec:ognized by l11<k of interest in activities, fatigue, loss of attention span, impaired conmmi<olion skd , and a general inability lo carry out a complicated pion or losk. Prolonged pot use con lead to o lock of motivation. Once you hove reached that stage of usage, you have gone beyond the '"recreational user." Dr. Bobbi Vollmer, Diredor of the MSCD Counseling Center states, '"Over the years, I hove seen a number of users who hove a diffi<uh lime motivating themselves to achieve some of their goals, even small ones, ond often remain in odversive situations, such os an abusive relationship, an unfulh11ing job, or ongoing financial problems. Most people know of the negative offeds of marijuana, and the users will oftentimes try to deny any negative effeds. The downside offeds of moffiuana can occur after any amount of use, but seem fa be more frequent with prolonged use. The three body systems, the immune system, indodrine system, and respiratory system, seem to bear the brunt of chronic pot use. Therefore, bronchitis and sore throats ore common in the daily user. Furthermore, those who smoke cigarettes ond pot tend lo hove more complaints than solely the pot user or the cigarette user. Dr. Sugar emphasized, •ultimately, if is the responsibility of the individual to decide how much o drug is affeding his /her l~e." And, knowing the affects of marijuana, you hove to determine if if is o serious enough problem for you to quit. You have only quit for a week, and you were using for several years.

Eckhoff Hurt During Overtime Victory at CCU Andrew Mosier STAFF WRITER
The Metropolitan/Jane Raley
路-..-
BLOOD AND GUTS: Kevin Hudson tends to Sarah Eckhoff's bleeding fore: head after a CCU player knocked her feet out from under her. According to Coach Smith, no foul was called on CCU, and Eckhoff sat out the rest of the game.
MSCD's women's basketball team struggled with Colorado Christian University, pulling out of a nine point halftime deficit to beat the Cougars 79-74 in overtime Saturday night. Senior Natalie Dittmer led alJ scores with a season high 24 points, nine of which were in the overtime period. MSCD, 11-8, suffered a dismal first half, shooting a mere 27 percent from the floor, allowing CCU, 5-13, to jump out to a lead early. "They came out strong, I think we took them a little to lightly, we dug ourselves a big hole," said junior Mary Henry, who finished with 10 points and eig_ht rebounds for the night. After halftime ranting and raving by coach Darryl Smith, the Roadrunners picked up the intensity and proved to themselves and their coach they were capable of better than their first half performance. "We just didn't execute our offense in the first half. We had no patience at all," Dittmer said. The Roadrunners jumped all over the Cougars, going on a 12-0 run in the first five minutes of the second period, pulling into the lead for the first time in the game. CCU got its first point of the second period with 14:33 remaining, when Lori Chamberlain hit a long three-pointer, reclaiming the lead from MSCD 41-40. MSCD was not able to pull away
from the Cougars, thanks to the threepoint bombing by CCU. The Cougars shot 42 percent for the game from behind the arc. Junior Sarah Eckhoff was injured with 6:07 remaining in the second half, during a scramble for a loose ball. She and a CCU player collided, sending Eckhoff skidding to the hardwood floor head first. Eckhoff received a gash above her right eye and was removed from the game. Trainers worked to slow the bleeding. Eckhoff was not able to return to the game. "She will be OK, I think she will need a couple of stitches," Smith said. "She seemed to know what was going on and who she is. Sarah is a tough girl," he said. Eckhoff finished the game six points in her early departure. Sub-average officiating throughout the game appeared to contribute to the Roadrunners' inability to play a consistent game. "I think those were the worst refs we have had this year. But you would think since we have been playing against it (bad officiating) all year we would be use to it by now," Henry said. "They had no control of the game. If they had, the accident never would have happened," Dittmer said. Smith would not comment on the officiating.

MSCD Gives Lopers Second Win in Two Years
....
Ba/man Hits High Points Again, Starting a Streak of 20-Point Games Kristin Sauls SPORTS EDITOR
The men's basketball team went to Nebraska with revenge on its mind, but came home without the much hoped for win. The University of Nebraska-Kearney beat the Roadrunners 86-77 Saturday night in front of a home crowd of 1800 people. Last year, the Antelopes (Lopers) beat MSCD in Denver, 95-93. Because that game was so close, the Roadrunners were hoping to even the battle Balman this year with a win on the Lopers' court. It seemed to be an even matchup. MSCD hit 47 percent from the field in the first half and 46 percent in the second half. The Lopers connected 50 percent in the first half and 37 percent in the second. The numbers were even at the end of the game.
MSCD had 16 turnovers, while Nebraska had 15. Rebounds were close also with MSCD pulling down 38 and the Lopers grabbing 44. So, where was the nine point difference in the final score of this game? It could have been free throws. MSCD completed 11 of 18 attempts. That could have been seven points. Nebraska went to the line a little more, hitting 24 of 33 attempts.
from three-point land, but only made two. Two is average for Hancock, but he usually only attempts three shots per game. He also only hit two of eight from the field.
'It was just one of those games.路 -James Shettleworth
'We couldn't catch up.' -Greg Balman Men's B-Ball Guard
The deficit could have been eliminated had MSCD not gotten hopeful with their empty shots from downtown. The Roadrunners shot 16 three pointers, but only made four of them. The Nebraska team was acting like a bunch of construction workers too, throwing up bricks that never sank. The Lopers only made four of their 14 attempts. The foreman of MSCD 's construction crew, Chuck Hancock, tried seven shots
Men's B-Ball Forward
Greg Balman and Lenin Perkins were the only two Roadrunners who did post good numbers on the board. Balman hit 22 against Nebraska, and Perkins had 19 points. Balman had a huge game against the University of Denver the week before, scoring 37 points. Opposing the stat sheet numbers, Balman said the Roadrunners played good offense. "We hit a slump in the second half, and they had us down by 17," Balman said, "We couldn't catch up." James Shettleworth had eight points in the game and three rebounds. "We' re going through some tough
times," he said, "It's hard to find something positive." Assistant Coach Craig Ross said he thought the team could have won. "We out-played them in the last five minutes of the game. We did a lot of good things," he said, "The guys have been playing hard." H a r d maybe, but, it wasn't hard enough to steal the win from Perkins the Lopers and give the seniors their revenge on the Nebraska-Kearney team. The relief that usually comes from the bench wasn't there this time. Kenyo Bledsoe was sitting out with a one game suspension, and Allen McClain played, but was still struggling with his bout of pneumonia. Shettleworth said the shots just weren't falling for the Roadrunners. "The s hots were there, they just wouldn't fall," he said. "It was just one of those games."

Men's Basketball Players Say.... Strain, Hull Have Same Coaching Philosophies, Strain is More Concerned With Players as People Michael BeDan THE METROPOUTAN Joe Strain is the head coach of the Roadrunners this season after spending eight years as an assistant under Coach Bob Hull. Hull, who coached MSCD since 1985, is currently on a one year leave of absence to be with his wife and new son in Kansas. "I told Coach Hull that I would take over the program for a year while he's gone," Strain said. Strain is no stranger to being a head coach. He won three state titles in his 23 years as a high school Hull basketball coach, two at South High and one at George Washington. Strain is one of the most successful coaches in Colorado high school basketball history. Strain's MSCD team has compiled a 12-6 record and is 3-2 in the Colorado Athletic Conference (he hasn't missed a beat), and his team praises his tactics and his concern for them as players. Coach Strain believes his coaching philosophy is similar to Hull's. "Defensively, me and Coach Hull both believe in pressure man-to-man defense," Strain said. "But offensively, I'm not quite as structured as he is. I give the kids a little more freedom to create, but the system is similar." The players feel that Strain is the right choice to lead them while Hull is on sabbatical and they have rallied around the eight-year veteran of the MSCD pro-

gram. "I felt really comfortable when Coach Hull told us that Coach Strain would be taking over," senior center Dan Kennedy said.
'I felt really comfortable .. Coach Strain would be taking over.' -Dan Kennedy Men's B-Ball Center
As a team, the Roadrunners have responded to Strain and his laid-back approach. "Coach Hull was more vocal in clutch situations at the end of a tight game and would take control with set plays," said senior forward James Shettleworth. "Coach Strain wants us to control our own destiny, and he says that he can teach us fundamentals, but he can't play the game for us."
'His first reaction was concern for Al's health.' (
--James Shettleworth Men's B-Ball Forward
Senior guard Lenin Perkins agrees. "It is more of a free-lance approach offensively with Coach Strain, and I like it because it shows our versatility as players," Perkins said. Kennedy feels the same but said that aside from a bit more freedom, both offenses do the same thing. "The goals (of the offenses) are the
same, you get the same looks at the basket and the same shots," he said. "We have a good chance of taking conference and I feel we will take it," Lenin Perkins said. "We just have to win our home games first or it makes the road games tougher." Coach Strain feels that it will go down to the wire. "It's a conference anybody can still win, and we won't know until the last game of the season who is going to win the league," he said. Strain has made an impact with his personality as a player's coach. Senior center Allen McClain got pneumonia before the Regis game and was Strain declared out indefinitely. He did return for the Kearney game on Feb. 5. When asked about his coach's reaction to losing the valuable center, James Shettleworth was quick to mention Coach Strain' s compassion. "His first reaction was concern for Al's health," Shettleworth said. "He came to our apartment to check on Al. He cares about us as people first and then as basketball players." Strain's personality may have been summed up when he walked by Shettleworth as he was being interviewed for this article. "James, take care of Big Al for me, okay," Strain instructed. "Okay Coach, I will," Shettleworth replied.

Lack of Recruiting Hurts MSCD: Kemp Allowed 36 Swimmers, Has 19 - Brian S. Terrett THE METROPOUTAN
-.
21
TuE METROPOLITAN
The MSCD swim team is looking for the three R's to strengthen the team, especially the women swimmers. They need recognition, respect and recruitment. Despite having some of the fastest individual times during competition, the team overall has lost a number of meets because it hasn't had enough swimmers in the starting blocks. Getting more swimmers in the blocks means getting more swimmers to look at MSCD as a legitimate school for student athletes to attend for their education, said swim coach Cindy Kemp. "I have to bring them in here and get them interested in Metro as a place to come for a quality education," said Kemp, now in her third season at MSCD. "I'm not quite sold I can do that now." Kemp believes if she can get some of her swimmers to qualify for the NCAA Division II finals, then the school would begin to get the recognition it needs to be seen as a swimming school. This may be the year she gets her wish. Darwin Strickland and Bernie Gard have the best chance of making it to the Division II finals this year, Kemp said. Strickland is a short-distance swimmer and Gard is a long-distance specialist. Gard, a graduating senior, knows if he gets a spot in the finals, it would make the team stronger. "I would be great if Coach could bring in some high-caliber swimmers," Gard said, the team captain. "It would
KEMP push us to work hard. Not that we aren't working hard now, but it would push up the pressure." Kemp has only had one full season to recruit swimmers for her team. The former MSCD swim team coach knew he was leaving so he didn't actively recruit any swimmers, Kemp said. That lack of recruiting history is evident by looking at the team roster. Of the 36 swimmers she is allowed to carry under NCAA rules, Kemp only has 13 men and six women. One of Kemp's recruiting success stories is Shannon Sargent. The 19-yearold freshman came to MSCD from Arvada High School. "I wasn't going to swim," Sargent said. "I was just going to go to Metro. After my dad made a call to ask about the team Coach Kemp called me and offered me a spot on the team." Kemp said Sargent was heavily
recruited by the University of Northern Colorado and Colorado State University. One of the main reasons it has been so hard for Kemp to get women swimmers at MSCD is the strong recruiting efforts of UNC and CSU for women swimmers. Kemp said she still has worked hard to get quality swimmers at MSCD. She spends her summers working with club teams, attends high school meets and tries to be visible at as many swimming events she can. When the kids start to recognize her as the coach for MSCD, then they will realize there is a team here, Kemp said. If Kemp is able to attract more quality swimmers to the school, she then has to face another dilemma: how to split the already small amount of money she has available for scholarships. She knows that better swimmers will mean less money for the athletes she already has on the team. The school gives Kemp $15,078 for scholarships, which is divided evenly between the men's and women's teams. For Sargent, money is not the reason she's swimming for MSCD. "I don't come to practice because I get paid," Sargent said. "The team is really fun, and as long as I'm having fun I'll continue to swim." Gard knows that less money for his teammates would be hard, but the success of the team is an important goal. "If Coach had a better budget, then she could go out and get the swimmers the team needs," said Gard. "Coach goes out and looks for them, but then its a battle for the money."
MAJOR BLOWOUT?
CCU Battle for 2nd CCU from page 19 Neither team was able to pull away in the remaining time, with 51.4 seconds remaining senior Paula Hart was fouled by CCU's Kelly McMullen. Hart missed her first shot, but battled for the rebound, which she put back, leveling the score at 63. After a missed shot by the Cougars, MSCD took a time out with 10.9 seconds remaining. The play set up during the time out found Paula Hart under the basket, where she was fouled as time expired. Hart was unable to make either foul shot, putting the game into overtime. "We had lots of chances to win the game, we just missed far too many shots," Smith said. The Roadrunners took control of the overtime, taking the lead for good with 2:21 remaining. "We knew we weren't going to lose, we couldn't," said Henry. Dittmer, who took control of the overtime was surprised she got the ball as much as she did. "Usually Qiana (Price) is the go-to man, but she fouled out and they were giving me the ball. In the four years I have been here, we have never lost to CCU, and there was no way we were while I am here. I just said if I got the ball I was going to make it no matter what," Dittmer said. The Roadrunners pulled away., finished the overtime and won the game 79-74. "I'm just glad we won. I just want to go home," Smith said.
