MSCD Students Challenge Athletic Fees Brian S. Terrett

THE METROPOLITAN A battle is brewing at MSCD, and it looks like it'll be as good as any athletic competition on the campus.

In fact, the battle is over athletics and the fees charged to students to supp<;>rt it at MSCD. On one side are leaders from Student Government and on the other is the Athletic department.

"I think if a lot of the students went to the games, if a lot of people were into it, I think it would be worthwhile," said Student Government President Barb Ferrill. "But the average Metro student doesn't give a damn about the basketball team."

Athletic Director Bill Helman thinks athletics are important to students and the school.

"When I came here 15 years ago and I was out recruiting for baseball, people would ask if Metro was a

two-year or four-year school and ask where is it located," Helman said. "Most of them didn't know anything about us. Now we get hundreds and hundreds of letters from students wanting to get into our programs."

Every student who enrolls at MSCD must pay the $18 athletic fee regardless of how many credit hours a student takes.That comes to a total of about $721,000 each year, said Cheryl Knibbee, MSCD budget analyst.

The fee pays for such things as coaches and administrative salaries, scholarships and team equipment.

Ferrill, along with Student Trustee Matthew Bates and Student Sen. Megan Reyes, said they believe the money raised for athletics is wrong because it focuses on a small number of students-athletes.

"We're doing it for athletes, and I'm not sure it's appropriate," Bates said. "If we were doing it for academics and athletics, balancing, I might be more comfortable with it. I'm real uncomfortable that we do

something for athletes that we won't even do for our top students. Where's our priority?"

The mission of MSCD is the primary reason Reyes opposes the Athletic department.

"What I'm going by is the strategic plan for the college from 1991 to 1996," Reyes said. "I' ve read through it and nowhere does it mention a strong athletic department, in _fact it doesn't mention athletics as part its mission at all.

"It focuses on diversity and quality education, it's really academically focused. It's not about athletics, it's not about the need to improve students through athletics."

The strategic plan does not mention any program specifically, Reyes said. She said it does talk about diversity, gender issues, racial issues and multiculturalism.

Reyes said the issue of diversity doesn't really apply to the Athletic department since it is not a primary

-Voluntary Health Insurance May Be Initiated Patricia Sydney Straub

-

--

Concerns from students and Student Government members about the MSCD mandatory health insurance requirement prompted MSCD President Sheila Kaplan to look into the issue, and it is possible the policy could be dropped as early as fall semester, Kaplan said.

The policy requires students enrolled in 10 or more credit hours be charged a $212 semester fee for health insurance.

UCD and CCD do not require mandatory health insurance.

"It's a question of whether we ought to be dictating to students what they do," Kaplan said.

As a result, Kaplan has formed a committee to look into voluntary health

insurance options for MSCD students.

Joe Arcese, vice president of Administration and Finance, told Kaplan he found no written policy in the Board of Trustees' internal board handbook of regulations mandating that each student have medical coverage. The policy was originally initiated because of the state.

Heading the committee to negotiate new health insurance is Mike Barnett, assistant vice president for Business Affairs. He said the committee may negotiate a joint policy with UCD to get a better deal, since insurance rates may rise because of lower participation numbers if health insurance is no longer mandated.

"There's no way of knowing what it will cost at this point. If groups decrease in size, costs go up--we don't know yet," Barnett said.

The committee will also have to consider a new federal government regulation that requires mandatory health insurance for foreign students, Barnett said.

Steve Monaco, director of the Student Health Center, sent a memo to Kaplan about the regulation effective Sept. 1 for foreign students on J visas, which allows foreign students to enroll at colleges in the United States. Because the school helps students obtain the visas, the school would be responsible for their coverage, he said.

MSCD Student Government President Barb Ferrill and Student Trustee Matthew Bates also serve on the committee.

"I'm very glad that President Kaplan has supported making it not mandatory," Ferrill said. "It's similar to the overload policy; students are adults and can make

their own decisions. " Bates said he believes non-mandatory health insurance will reduce financial discrimination against poor students who are without health insurance and who want to be full-time but have the burden of an additional expense.

It is still important to provide access to those willing to pay for insurance, he said, and perhaps open insurance up to students taking less than 10 hours or parttime.

"I think one of the things we need to do is compare all possible plans, voluntary and various mandatory, compare the benefits, and hopefully select a plan that is in the best interest of the students," Monaco said.

The committee will meet again on Feb. 24.

Espresso Etc. Won't Be in TivoliPopular Coffee Spot Loses Bid for Retail Space Antoinette Vecchio NEWS EDITOR 7

After serving Auraria Campus for three years, Espresso Etc., Inc. has lost a bid to enter into negotiations for a lease agreement in the Tivoli Student Union.

The Retail Committee, which makes decisions on retail space for the Tivoli Planning Committee, announced at the TPC meeting Feb. 21 its decision to offer contract negations with another coffee house.

"It was a tough decision," said Steve Main, MSCD representative to the Student Advisory committee to the Auraria Board and of the Tivoli Retail committee. "What it basically boiled down to was the financials."

T he committee decided to offer contract negotiations to The Daily Grind, a coffee house that offers the financial stability needed at the Tivoli, Main said.

Judy Fey, owner of Espresso Etc., Inc., said she understands the committee' s decision and does not hold any bad feelings toward the members.

"It was an economic business decision that they had to make over in the Tivoli," she said.

Fey said she hopes to stay on campus because she believes she provides an important service to students.

About 85 to 90 percent of her customers buy coffee on their way to classes or during short breaks, she said. A sit-down type of business, like

the· one that will be in the Tivoli, would not serve the.students' needs, she said.

"I honestly think it is a disservice to my customers to not have this service available," she said.

Main said the decision to go with another coffeehouse was strictly financial and was based on what was best for the students. It was not based on Fey's service.

"She (Fey) has served this campus exceptionally since she's been here," he said.

The students would benefit more from The Daily Grind, Main said, because it could contribute more money to the Tivoli in projected gross sales and a percentage of sales.

"It just came down to money," he said.

Kersten Keith, MSCD student representative to SACAB, said the TPC was In favor of Fey, but it came down to loyalty to her or loyalty to the students.

"The TPC was 100 percent supportive of the Retail Committee and their decision to put their loyalty with students instead of Judy Fey," Keith said. "And that is the type of student advocacy that we' ve (students) been trying to get on this campus for a long time."

Main said he would have liked to see things work out differently for Fey. "I'm' just as disappointed as any other student," Main said. "I would have loved it if the finances would have worked out. This was probably the most difficult decision the Retail Committee has had to make."

Parking Committee Confronts AHEC About Missing Funds Antoinette Vecchio NEWS EDITOR The Parking Advisory Committee confronted execu. tives from the Auraria Higher Education Center Feb. 18 about missing parking funds and why the committee was not notified of the discrepancy sooner.

"The first I found out about this is when I read the cover of The Met," said Michelle Fix, chairwoman of the committee. "There's something wrong when the committee is not even informed. That' s pathetic."

Ted Salaiz, CCD faculty representative on the committee, agreed.

"We are in this. We are the ones who represent the constituents who are out up to $200,000." be said. " ...We don ' t know anything about it. It's all over the world.

We're the last ones to bear about it .... A little candor would go a long way."

JoAnn Soker, executive vice president of Administration, said the committee would not be informed if there is a criminal investigation being conducted, which AHEC began in May 1993.

Soker said it was not until March 1993 that discrepancies in parking revenue surfaced indicating there were cash collection problems.

Financial records of debit card usage and sales, however, show that there were discrepancies of more than $34,000 at the end of June 1992. In addition, minutes from various committee meetings held since 1989, shortly before the system was installed, did not address this issue or any progress report concerning the debit card system, which cost more than $62,000 to implement.

Soker said the only time a committee or board would discuss any type of revenue system would be when the budget was being discussed. Meeting minutes, however, show that many revenue-generating systems have been dis-

cussed at length about they're progress and revenue intake.

At least $134,000 in parking revenue is unaccounted for since July 1991 to October 1993, according to the financial records.

"I can see a discrepancy of a certain amount of money," Fix said. " ...maybe we need a system where we're not going to be off by six digits."

Three employees were fired as a result of an investigation conducted by Auraria Public Safety into the missing funds. Those employees have filed appeals with the State Personnel Board.

Committee members agreed the system, despite the discrepancy, is very popular and usage has increased.

The members have made no recommendation to discontinue the service.

The committee will review a report by a parking consultant who AHEC has hired to review the parking system on campus.

for PACT Scholarships Nancy Sonnenfeld THE METROPOLITAN Scholarships are available to eligible minority students interested in the field of alcohol and drug counseling due to a grant of $30,000 awarded to the MSCD Human Services department.

With this money, the Project for Addiction Counselor Training (PACT) scholarship was established to recruit, train and promote the advancement of African American, Native American, Hispanic and Asian students enrolled in courses in the Human Services department.

According to Anne Hatcher, assistant professor and co-director for the MSCD Center for Addiction Studies, statistics indicate there is a need for minority counselors for those individuals of similar ethnic background, seeking treatment for substance abuse.

"Not enough minorities are trained as counselors ... and there's a difference in understanding of lifestyles among minorities," she said.

The scholarship does not pay for a degree, but for courses that specifically lead to certification as an entry-level counselor.

Hatcher said certain regions are in dire need of counselors.

"Southeast Colorado is one area really hurting right now for counselors," Hatcher said. "Somebody certified but without a degree could probably go there and still get a job ... but with a degree, some places pay premium prices for minority counselors."

Denise Rodriguez, a Native American student at MSCD, received a PACT scholarship for the spring '94

Parking and Public Safety to Divide Because of low morale in Auraria Higher Education Center's parking department, the division of Parking and Public Safety will be separated beginning March 1.

JoAnn Soker, executive vice president for Administration, announced her decision during a special Parking Advisory Committee meeting Feb. 18. ''We believe that folks in Parking need to have leadership, have some feeling, have come confident experiences moving forward rather than focused on the past," she said, referring to the debit card investigation.

David Rivera, assistant division director for Public Safety, will head Public Safety after the split,and Andy Chitwood, director of total quality systems, will head Parking.'

Kersten Keith, MSCD representative to the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board, said hiring Chitwood is not enough to improve morale in Parking, and other things must be done to prevent the problems that have occurred in recent months.

"I think that its really important because... there is a lot of money being dealt with in parking. Morale is really low and that's when things tend to happen," she said.

Keith said employee recognition and communication between management and employees on how to prevent future problems would be a positive way to boost morale.

semester. She said she dreams of starting a rehabilitation center to help people of color who are in an addictive cycle.

Rodriguez would like to focus on the use of rituals and ceremonies as a way of helping those encumbered by drugs and alcohol, she said.

Though she is on the verge of graduating and has already completed 95 percent of the needed human services courses, she said she has benefited from the scholarship and recommends it to others.

"It's a really good program. I wish the money would have been available three years ago. It would have made things easier for me," she said.

Tuition is reimbursed to the student upon successful completion of the class, and the funds may not be used for books or student fees.

"Commitment, discipline and desire" are required, Rodriguez said.

Though the semester is in full swing, it is not too late for students to get involved with the scholarship program, according to Hatcher. Money is still available for next semester, and there are spring module classes that have not begun yet, she said. Applications are available at the admissions and r-ecords office.

Funds are provided through the National Association of State Alcohol and Drug Abuse Directors and are distributed in Colorado by the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Division of the Department of Health.

"It [PACT] just shows you that there are people out there who are willing to invest in me," Rodriguez said. "It is something that is needed not only for students of color but for all students... to help us believe in ourselves."

Threatening Calls According to an APS report, Auraria Book Center employee Michelle Fix reported that she received several threatening phone calls from an unidentified female. The caller warned Fix not to testify in court against Michael Mann, who is on trial for violation of a restraining order, police said.

"Don't go to court, Mike won't like it," was one of the threats Fix received Feb 19.

Exposure An unidentified male exposed himself to a woman on Feb. 16. at 10 p.m.

The woman, Sarah Hong, reported that a man approached her outside the North Classroom building with his zipper down and was holding his genitals in his hand saying, "How would you like to suck on this?" police said. Hong said she ran into the building and continued running until she found another person who assisted her in contacting Auraria Public Safety. A search of the premises proved fruitless.

To get straight answers about gay issues, Auraria students can speak to Karen Bensen, the new coordinator of Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Student Services.

Bensen, 31, is a graduate of the University of Denver with a master's degree in social work. Her experiences in higher education and community programs contributed to her being hired for the position, said Maggie Miller, acting director of Student Activities. Miller was chairwoman of the search com. - - - - - - - - - . mittee that recommended Bensen for the job.

"She had good experience being an advocate for gay, lesbian and bisexual peop le in general," Miller said. "She seemed especially Bensen good at collaborating with a variety ... of people, which is so necessary at a complex environment like Auraria."

Bensen initiated a new curriculum in the social work program at DU, incorporating topics of sexual orientation and started a support group in a high school for gay and lesbian youth. She also volunteered at the Gay and Lesbian Community Center of Colorado for two years, she said.

Bensen was chosen from four final applicants, and took over the position from interim coordinator Sue Anderson Feb. 7, said Yolanda Ericksen, Assistant Dean for Student Life at MSCD. Bensen said her duties will extend beyond the Auraria campus, but emphasized that her role is to act as an advocate for gay, lesbian and bisexual students, and to serve as a liaison between students and staff.

Bensen said she is still learning about the Auraria campus, but she said she wants "to be a clearinghouse of information."

"As a lesbian, I have my own personal experiences working through the system."

Former MSCD President Thomas Brewer· was tlie catalyst in forming the

Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Student Services, which has been in place since July 1992, said Davidson Porter, associate director of Student Activities.

A letter Brewer drafted in February 1992 outlining MSCD's new policies regarding discrimination on basis of sexual orientation said: "[MSCD] will now prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation in all College employment... in all student activities and organizations, with the exception of two particular circumstances... " These two particulars included religious-oriented student organizations and the Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC), a military-oriented student organization. Under Brewer's rule, these clubs could discriminate against gay students, Porter said.

When angered students held rallies and protested, a task force was formed to help change policy. It recommended that the President's Office appoint an advisory committee that could assist the administration with policy decisions and campus issues affecting the gay population.

Bensen said MSCD President Sheila Kaplan has been supportive of the service.

The service is offered only through MSCD, and Bensen hopes that the department will soon serve all three schools on campus.

"I want to do a lot of talking to people ... all across the campus," Bensen said.

"Change happens on a one-to-one basis."

Although she is on campus only part time, she will be involved with many programs. As part of Women's History Month in March, Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Student Services will host poetry readings. "The Faces of Love/Faces of Hate" conference, which she called "a celebration of diversity," will be in April.

The department also co-sponsors a support group for gays with the MSCD Counseling Center.

Bensen is on campus three days a week: Tuesdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Wednesdays from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., and Fridays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Her office is in CN 313, and the office phone number is 556-6333.

"I invite people to drop by to talk to me," she said.

25, 1994

..

Cindy Beal THE METROPOUTAN Auraria's Student Bus Pass Committee is applying for a federal grant to subsidize a proposed agreement with the Regional Transportation District. The agreement would provide free bus service for students with valid IDs. The grant would cover part of RTD's proposed total cost for the service, which is almost $2 million, according to the application from the student bus committee.

About $600,000 would be used for implementation of the service.

The service would cost MSCD students about $24 a semester. A current local student bus pass costs $23 per month, but if the plan is. implemented, all students will have to pay the $24 RTD fee, whether they ride the bus or not.

The application for the grant was given to the Denver Regional Council of Governments this month.

The council must first approve the application before submitting it for federal aid.

"We're not expecting a decision until July, maybe earlier," said JoAnn Soker, executive vice president for the Auraria Higher Education Center, who has been working with students on the project.

MSCD President Shelia Kaplan said the cost per stuThe Metropolitan/Ablgall Clezadlo dent, per semester is too high.

"I have a problem with requiring every student to Students from MSCD, UCO and CCD could pay a semester fee to to use thier student ID as a bus pass. pay for student bus passes," she said, adding it is unfair for everyone to pay for a servia that would only benefit than a year on the agreement.

For example, a male student will say, "Oh, she must be having a blonde moment." or a female student will remark, "You're male ego is showing again." This class totally frustrates me. I want to say something, but I don't want the class to gang up on me either. Any suggestions?

Signed, Distressed in Class

Dear Distressed: Gender issues are consistently a concern in society today, and college campuses are no exception. I understand your dilemma. No one should be suffering from a verbal gang-banging in any class. However, the behavior will continue unless you do something about it. By not saying anything is making a statement. Maybe the students are not aware that they are offending anyone. They may consider their statements as merely teasing. There are many solutions to this problem. One of the things that you could do is talk to the teacher of the class and let the teacher address the issue as a whole in the next class session. Your input will be important as the teacher brings up the issue. Or, you could speak to the students directly, privately, and let them know that you are offended by their remarks. Another suggestion is to bring up the issue in class the next time an incident occurs. And, then, allow the discussion to occur. Chances are that others feel the same way you do. The key is to let those making statements know your feelings so that they have a chance to react.

If the issues are addressed properly, and the students continue to make those statements, then you may even consider those statements as harassment.

You may then use the Women's Center or the EEO Center on campus to help advise you. Additionally, you may come in to the Counseling Center and talk to a counselor about the most comfortable way for you to handle the situation.

Thanks for writing Metro Connections. Letters are welcome! Please send letters to Campus Box 05 or bring to the MSCD Counseling Center, CN 203.

STUDENT DISCOUNT CARD

THE METROPOLITAN Students on the Auraria Campus reacted with mixed emotions to President Clinton's decision to lift the trade embargo against Vietnam.

Clinton lifted the 20-year-old trade embargo to increase the U.S. government's ability to account for possible POWs or MIAs.

'Deep down, I oppose the lifting of the embargo.'

-C.V. Vu UCDStudent

Phil Jaramillo, an MSCD student and U.S. Army veteran, said the added access to Vietnam might help in locating prisoners of war.

"The embargo wasn't doing anything for the last 20 years, let's try something different," he said.

C.V. Vu, a Vietnamese civil engineering student at UCD, disagreed with the conditions under which the embargo was lifted.

"Deep down, I oppose the lifting of the embargo," he said.

He spoke with conviction while recounting his days in a Vietnamese internment camp where he was imprisoned following the communist defeat of South Vietnam.

The United States government should have required an increase in human rights by the Vietnamese government before lifting the embargo, Vu said.

"We came from hell, so we appreciate more the ideology of human rights.

There were a lot of Americans left after the war, and we have to get them back here, not just the remains," he said.

Hiep Pham, another Vietnamese civil engineering student at UCD, took a different view of the new policy. " I think the time is OK to end the trade embargo," Pham said.

Lifting the embargo will help Vietnamese people living in the United States have greater access to Vietnam, he said.

"Before the trade embargo was lifted you still have thousands of Vietnamese going back to Vietnam. With the embargo lifted, it will make it easier and less expensive for them to go back," Pham said.

Vu said the Vietnamese government used access to the country as a tool to obtain money from those Vietnamese wishing to return for a visit. He said many return to help their families.

"We want to go back and help our families first and our country second," Vu said.

A few Vietnamese students refused to make comments or asked not to be identified. They expressed a concern regarding their safety.

Sen. Hank Brown, R-Colo., issued a statement calling Clinton's action "a trag-

ic mistake." Brown has served on a select Senate committee investigating the POW and MIA issue.

Pham disagrees with Brown's viewpoint.

"It should be time, if we can have cooperation with them (Vietnamese government) it will help," Pham said.

"We need them fo change before we can talk," Vu said.

THE METROPOLITAN

Helman: Program Generates Free Advertising

.â&#x20AC;˘

...

ATHLETICS from page 1 goal. She said the composition of the teams at MSCD are primarily white, and most of the sports are primarily known as a part of "white America."

But Helman said those who criticize the Athletic department have too narrow a focus about what MSCD should be providing for its students. The athletic program bas been positive for MSCD, and that positive effect has been beneficial to MSCD graduates, he said.

Helman estimated that the sports programs at MSCD have given the school between $100,000 and $200,000 in free advertising. That translates into recognition by employers in the community whom Helman said are then more likely to recognize an MSCD graduate.

"It comes down to whether the education in the classroom is the only reason we're here, or are all those other activities that are inherent to the educational experience of going to college of value or worth" ,Helman said. "If not, then we should do away with The Me(, student health and all those other things because they're not worth a damn and not part of the college experience."

Critics of the Athletic department charge that the teams MSCD competes with are part of the reason why athletics costs so much.

Ferrill, Bates and Reyes all said they thought the problem with the athletic program began when MSCD joined Division II of the National Collegiate Athletic Association. When that happened, they said, the cost of intercollegiate athletics went up.

If MSCD got out of NCAA Division II, then the cost of athletics would go down, Reyes said.

The cost of athletics would rise, Helman said, if MSCD went to any other conference. All of the teams MSCD competes with are Division II schools, so if the school joined another conference it would be competing with schools on the east or west coasts.

"We're an efficient, economical program for Division II," Helman said. "I have a staffing survey that shows we're staffed less than our competition, our scholarships are Jess than our competition and we're doing it on a reasonable budget."

Both sides have invoked the name of President Sheila Kaplan to support their

(jo{aen 9(ey

fight. Kaplan hasn't really taken one side or the other.

"I am not an opponent of intercollegiate athletics," Kaplan said. "I think that they do have a place at a college campus.

We provide opportunities for students who are gifted in music and theatre to apply their gifts, and it's not all that dissimilar in terms of student athletes."

Kaplan said she thought it was time to do a thorough evaluation and analysis of athletics at MSCD. When a new vice president is appointed, Kaplan said one of the first things she wanted that person to do was work with students, faculty and staff to look at all student-funded programs to see if the programs are benefiting students.

"I don't want any office in this institution to think it (an office) has an open appropriation to students' pocketbooks, we (the college) don't," Kaplan said. "If fees are going to be raised, they are going to be raised with a purpose and they're going to raised when I'm sure and comfortable and can justify to you folks the fact that the money we're already getting is being spent as well as it can possible can be spent."

-----tl<IFEATURES the

MSCD Center for the Visual Arts Great Art, A~tists and Students Director/curator Sally Perisho at the MSCD Center for Visual Arts in front of Bob Wade's 'Maiden.'

Story by Jim 'linney Phoios by Jane Roley

Southwestern art on display at the gallery.

t first glance, the MSCD Center for Visual Arts is a dark, quiet stage, kept away from the audiences of the outside world by its curtain of tinted glass.

But once inside, spectators are ushered in by canvas paintings and seated by unusual sculptures, for the show is about to begin.

The "West as Subject" is CVA's current show, and it tries to embody the center's mission of committing itself to the needs of the city's minority population.

On one wall is a canvas painting by Carlos Fresquez of Denver. Called "A Rough Rider," it concerns itself with

A

what the painter calls "the duality of Chicanos in America, trying to maintain our culture in a culture that wants assimilation."

Through various media, artists surround the white wall and high black ceiling gallery with individual perspectives.

"I, by no means, claim to be an expert on any of the issues (confronting Native Americans)," says Melanie Yazzie's artist statement. "But I cannot sit by quietly and observe as I have been brought up to do in Navajo custom." Yazzie, of Santa Fe, New Mexico, has screenprints on display of the Navajo of northern Arizona.

The center, at 1701 Wazee, offers shows and educational seminars that serve what curator Sally Perisho describes as "audiences that are largely overlooked by other museums."

Perisho, 42, has been with the center since 1991. She has worked at the Indianapolis Museum of Art, the Denver Art Museum, and she was the first director of the Arapahoe Community College Art Gallery.

"Through these programs we will emerge as a very strong, viable gallery in Colorado," Perisho said .

The gallery also has a student 路exhibit for Metro stu-

dents.

Bev Brakey, an MSCD graduate, has been selling artwork here since 1991.

"They don't charge the usual 40 to 50 percent like the other galleries," Brakey said. The center only charges 25 percent of the sale for services like paperwork and display. 4 She explainea why she charged so little, saying, "I guess it's more out of courtesy more than a means to raise money."

The gallery has been bringing in crowds of more than 15,000 people a year, and has received the Mayor's Award for Excellence in the Arts and many "Best of Westword" awards.

The "West as Subject" will close its curtains Feb. 25, and after two weeks, a new show will open called "AsianAmerican Art." As you leave the gallery with all its messages behind you, one solitary noise calls out. "Silicon Landscape" by Laura Jangla Audrey, is a hexagon grid of motion, sound~ and temperature change detectors connected to a computer. l As you open the door, it emits one last nature call almost ( sounding like "Good-bye."

~SCD art student Derek Schrader views Curt_ i s Weldon's third place work, "Untitled."

fhe Magic at Emmanuel

\nnual MSCD Student Art Show Brings out Talented Diversity at Emmanuel Gallery ith onl~ two-and-a-half weeks to put the show together, MSCD Art Club President Curtis Weldon said he was pleased with the turnout at the Feb. 16 opening of the Emmanuel Gallery's annual Student Art Show.

The caliber of MSCD art students' talent is once again on display highlighting the best of student works that reflect the diversity of art media MSCD teaches.

The show includes works of ceramics, bronze, oil, pencil, collage, photography, steel and more, and reflect what students have learned in MSCD art classes.

Bristol' art gallery owner Diane Rulis and Denver artist Musane Hirokawa spent three hours judging more than 160 entries before narrowing it down to 75 selections with a first, second and third place, and five honorable mentions.

I Weldon, a junior art major, coordinated the jury, whose members could have no association with MSCD for the past five years. The only criteria judges were told to consider were that the art should be a broad representation of the media the school teaches, and that it would allow for different philosophies and be more inclusive, he said.

"I felt that it was a really finished piece," Rulis said of the first place winner, sophomore art major Alex Harrison's "Untitled III." It is a sculpture encompassing -layers of Plexiglas in the shape of a cube, combined with suspended steel cubes and aluminum. "It was very professionally put together and had a lot of forethought to it. It's difficult to work with Plexiglas," she said.

Harrison said his work came about from experiments with plastics last semester, and this piece was a third incarnation of this experiment. "This one is flat, to see into it more-it's more open-more air and space," he said.

Second place went to Susan Helbig's mixed media,

CD senior art major Dawn Pinner examines Andy ox's "Untitled II" at the Emmanuel Gallery's annual :udent art show Feb. 16.

"She wanted to dance but was maid into a molar instead," a series of 25 numbered, orange and red, computer-generated images of molars that often resemble a female body. Behind the series are pencil drawings of molars on drafting paper. Rulis said she was impressed with the composition and pFesentation of this work.

A trio of black and white photographic studies of a voluptuous nudes posing with a watermelon, "Untitled," won Weldon third place. He and the judges insist his association with the exhibit had nothing to do with his winning selection. The use of lighting and the play off of lights and darks in his study of the human body is what Rulis said earned Weldon the award.

Honorable mentions went to Maile Mark Melia for the pastel work "Sade Face I and II," Susanna Richter for her "Self-Contained" chalk/pastel prisma color work, Shawn Acton for a monotype titled "Time and Space," Andy Cox for ""Untitled #1," a hanging sculpture constructed of wood, steel and eggs, and Shannon Spindler's enormous graphite profile of a woman titled "Audrey."

"Sharon has the magic," said drawing instructor Craig Smith. He said Spindler drew the piece for his class, Drawing the Human Head. "She is obsessed and infected by the magic of drawing."

Other interesting pieces in the show is senior arl major Dale Stavin's "Demon I," a three-foorsteel sculpture of a homed, human-like demon, formed from several woven layers of steel. It embodies "the limits of what we consider evil," Stavin said.

Another entry by Susan Helbig is "Untitled Series," four computer-generated pastel collages celebrating the spirit of the artists Miro, Picasso, Pollack and O'Keefe.

The show runs through March 3. Gallery hours are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. For more information call 556-8337.

~.Horizon

isLess

Expansive Than Wilcox's

Still Worthwhile , Listening

.- Earlier Efforts, but

Robyn Schwartt Copy Editor

David Wilcox

Judging by his latest effort, Big Horizon (A&M), David Wilcox seems to have traded some of his spiritual self-dissatisfaction for a milder philosophy bordering on Christian complacency.

Although Wilcox is still handy with alliteration and a master of metaphor, there are none of the astonishing phrases like those he turned in the past. Perhaps it's just that he's gained some popularity, and that struggle is the better part of artistry.

His voice still contains that sensual wistfullness, which is reminiscent of James Taylor, Don Maclean and "' Michael Franks. It's a voice that mingles well with his soothing acoustic guitar and lends itself to introspection.

But I miss the funky rebelliousness of lyrics like "Johnny's got the hunger of a high school heart, and a tank full of minimum wage," from How Did You Find Me Here (1989), bis first release. I also miss the sharp

sarcasm of songs like "Advertising Man," a stab at the tobacco industry from 1991 's Home Again: "Crack will kill you quickly, that's why it's got to go, they'll get more of your money if they kill you nice and slow."

The phenomenal poignancy in the older songs put Wilcox in league with the best of poets, and though Big Horizon has merit, it pales by comparison.

Skip to Side B of Big Horizon to find the album 's most soulful selection, "Please Don ' t Call." Wilcox seduces you the despairing theme with alluring vocals that mingle in and out of the flute, slide and jazz guitar.

Another one of the best songs on this album is "Big Mistake." It's a sarcastic argument for God vs. the Big Bang Theory. It is a perfect example of his talent for romantic irony.

Wilcox is still the modem romantic with a penchant

for negative capability ( "Farthest Shore," "Make It Look Easy") but his thoughts are now a little more tempered by traditional values and don't cut as deep.

Wilcox's guitar can't deny toe-tappers with his blues, Latin rhythms and lilting acoustic picking. He even gets raunchy and tart on "Strong Chemistry," which fades out in a drunken, distorted dance of guitar, to match the morphine metaphor: "Our bodies fit desperately together, like a needle against a vein."

The fast pace of "Make it Look Easy," is reminiscent of the playfulness in "Rusty Old American Dream," and proves if there's something else Wilcox hasn't lost, it's an evident attraction to motorized vehicles, danger, speed and heights.

I'm still a Wilcox advocate. I urge you to go out and buy How Did You Find Me Here (almost every lyric is nothing less than astonishing) and Home Again with its pointed commentaries on addictions, _ aging, family angst, love and individuality. The closest Big Horizon gets to that kind of wisdom is "Break In the Cup," ("I cannot make you happy, I'm learning love and money never do").

Wilcox 's perception of human behavior is rare and we could all benefit from such advice.

I'd pay double for either of his first two albums, but only about half of the songs on this third effort make buying it full-price worthwhile. You might want to wait and pick it up used.

Don't let this latest letdown keep you away from Wilcox in concert March 18 at the Boulder Theatre, 2030 14th St. in Boulder, or March 19 at the Ogden Theatre at .

935 E. Colfax in Denver. He'll be sure to perform his best material, like "Eye of the Hurricane"and ''Top of the Roller Coaster." He gives an intimate live show and you'll gain the full benefit of his acoustic talents. Call 830-2525 for more information.

Roadrunners Speed Past Indians, 2nd in CAC Andrew Mosier SPORTS EDITOR

MSCD's women's basketball team continued to build momentum toward the Colorado Athletic Conference tournament, jumping all over the University of Southern Colorado, winning 75-54 Feb. 17.

The Roadrunners, 15-8, spared little time jumping all over the Indians, 6-17, scoring the first eight points of the game, and not looking back, never holding a lead of less than eight points.

Four Roadrunners finished in double figures, led by junior guard Qiana Price.

Price finished with a team-high 16 points, collected seven rebounds and four assists.

Junior guard Sarah Eckhoff, with 13

points, four rebounds and six assists, along with Price played what Coach Darryl Smith believed to be their best game of the season.

"I felt Qiana and Sarah played well together for 1he first time tonight," Smith said. "That's really a key, because they take a lot of pressure off everyone else. If they play well then things get opened up for Mary (Henry), Ditti (Natalie Dittmer) and Paula (Hart)" Junior forward Mary Henry collected a team-high nine rebounds along with her 15 points, including one three-pointer.

Senior forward Paula Hart finished the game with 11 points and eight rebounds.

MSCD used its 1-3-1 zone defense

extensively for the first time this season against the Indians in preparation for the tournament.

"For the rest of the season we are going to work hard on the zone because people expect us to play man (man-toman defense), and then when we come out in a zone they don't know what to do," Hart said.

Indians Coach Sue Richardson was surprised by the Roadrunners' new defensive ploy. 路 "I fully expected them to come out and piay man-to-man the whole game. We do have an offense to play against a 1-3-1, we just weren't expecting it," Richardson said.

The Roadrunners shot 46 percent in

the first for the game, making 30-64 shots.

USC could muster only 18-57, 31 percent from the floor.

Smith said his team's success was due in part to its ability to play more consistently throughout the entire game.

"Our lapses are getting smaller, we use to lapse four or five minutes at a time, now they (the lapses) only last two or three minutes and the girls are playing better for longer periods of time," Smith said.

Smith's players also believe they are playing with more consistency than previously in the season.

"We are starting to execute more, we are starting to pass the ball more and play with a little more patience," Henry said.
