Former UCD A Rose is a Rose of Love Leader Arrested for Shoplifting Fix Quits Her Job at Auraria Book Center in Protest Antoinette Vecchio

.,

t

NEWS EDITOR Former UCD Student Government President Michelle Fix quit her job at the Auraria Book Center Friday after it was alleged she stole merchandise from the center.

Fix, 22, said she quit her position as cashier Friday because she said she believes she was falsely accused and treated like a criminal.

According to an Auraria Public Safety report, Fix was arrested and charged with petty theft (shoplifting) and is to appear in Denver Municipal court. She was released on a summons.

Fix said she returned and received a refund for a $20 daily planner/organizer she purchased last week.

Police said another book center employee ran a Fix check on the planner and found no planners of that sort were purchased since September.

Stockroom supervisor Suzanne Parker and controller Ellis Penland questioned Fix about the return and asked her to produce a receipt, she said.

Penland said he could not comment on the issue, and that Auraria Book Center and Reprographics Director Gretchen Minney would need to be contacted.

Minney is on vacation until Monday, he said.

Fix said the evidence the book store has against her is purely circumstantial because the inventory system is poor.

"Why would I steal something for $20 bucks ... and go to the store where I bought it and return it?" she said.

Fix said she has been asked to produce receipts on returns she made since working at the center almost a year ago. She said she does not have those receipts and has returned about fout: items since she has worked at the book center.

Fix said she is fighting the shoplifting charges and plans on taking legal action against the book center.

Fix was named ABC's hourly Employee of the Year two weeks ago.

Commitment, Standing Up for Beliefs Wins 8 MSCD Students .Giraffe Awards Patricia Sydney Straub EDITOR IN CHIEF Eight students from the MSCD community, who "stuck their necks out" about issues they believe in, were recognized as "Giraffes" at a luncheon at St. Francis Interfaith Center April 15.

Each recipient chose their favorite hand-carved giraffe statue for their award, each as individual as the recipients. Winners also received a framed certificate for their achievement. ''I'.m going to Disneyland," said Ashara Walker, a Giraffe award recipient.

Director of Student Publications Kate Lutrey hosted the Giraffe Awards luncheon. The awards began two years ago to honor students in the campus community, she said, and is inspired by John Graham, the director of the Giraffe project, a national nonprofit organization that recognizes individuals as Giraffes across the United States and abroad for "Sticking their necks out" and taking risks for their beliefs. The awards are a component of MSCD's leadership development program called PEAK (Potential through Experience, Awareness and Knowledge).

"It's really nice to know the Metro community sees the hard work we've done. We didn't just do it to get recognized, it's something we don't think about. We don't do it for ourselves; we do it for others," said Human Services major Denise Rodriguez, a Giraffe award recipient.

'I'm going Disneyland.'

Rodriguez was honored for her ability to bring people together from diverse cultures and consistently take a stand for human rights. Her nominator, Tara Tull, wrote in her nomination, "Ms. Rodriguez, being one of the few Native American students on this campus, has had to struggle to maintain her identity and her connection to her community while being an active participant in the campus community. She is a role model and support system for other Native American students as well as students from other ethnic backgrounds."

Another Giraffe award winner, Michael Drennen, single-handedly raised $12,000 to fund handicap-accessible fishing piers at Barbour Ponds State Park. Drennen embarked on the project during a class and raised the

African American studies major Ashara Walker, founder of Sisters in Support of Change, has contributed significantly to the quality of life for black women on campus. She promoted Maya Angelou's appearance at Denver's Auditorium Theatre as well as other speakers for African American and women's history months. She also promoted other community activities.

"Hers is an impressive resume for a woman just barely 26 years old," said Jodi Wetzel, director of the Women's Studies department at MSCD, in her nomination for Walker.

Wetzel also nominated Jim Severson for his community activism with the Colorado General Assembly for the passage of legislation that deals with women's and children's issues. He also constructed a contract major focusing on intercultural and women's studies. Wetzel also nominated Megan Reyes, a political science major who as a student representative has taken risks to assure that the student voice is heard in many arenas.

"Megan epitomized what I believe Metro is all about: education, social activism and community service.

She, indeed, makes us proud," Wetzel said in her recommendation.

Director of Student Activities Maggie Miller nominated psychology major Bryce Avery, who has served on the staff of Student Activities for the past year and a half.

Avery stuck his neck out by bringing controversial speakers, such as Ken Hamblin, Paul Watson and Kevin Tebedo to campus.

Nancy Bailey, an MSCD Reading department instructor, nominated Marcus Martinez for exercising his belief in free speech and expression by taking a classroom problem all the way to the Ombuds office. Another student was manipulating the class, and the instructor refused to confront the issue. The Ombudsman found Marcus's allegations to be true.

Journalism major Antoinette Vecchio, news editor for The Metropolitan, received a Giraffe for her perseverance in standing up to the Auraria Higher Education Center, breaking the story about more than $130,000 in missing parking fees. Vecchio also stood up to cite the open meetings law when the Auraria board decided to conduct meetings in executive sessions.

Evening Hours for the Child Care Center are: Monday through Thursday, 4:00 pm to 8:30 pm

Some Close Races in ASMSCD Election, Few Surprises

Reyes

Although there were only three contested races in this year's student government elections, those races were close, one winning by a single vote.

Also, more than 90 percent of those surveyed said they would like

to see faculty evaluations published.

Maria Rodriquez had the extra vote necessary to make her victorious over India Chang in the run for ASMSCD vice president for Campus Communications.

Clayton Steneroden beat out Jan McKissak by 10 votes to become ASMSCD for vice president for Academic Affairs. Julie Imada won the post of ASMSCD vice president for Diversity by 28 votes, beating out Elias Diggins.

Ninety-three students voted in the telephone election, a form of voting that has grabbed the interest of county governments in the Denver area.

Megan Reyes won an uncontested race for ASMSCD president. Other uncontested winners are: •Eric Higgins, VP for Student Services •Amy Haimerl, VP for Personnel and Finance •Brooke McMaken, VP for Student Organizations •Mark Shannon, VP for Student Fees •Alfonso Suazo, Student Trustee •George Slowick, SACAB representative Only six out of 74 students surveyed said they did not support published faculty evaluations. Fifty-four students said they are not informed about what their

student fees pay for, and 56 students said they did not support student fees paying for athletic scholarships. Students voted 44 to 23 in favor of using student fees to help subsidize child care for MSCD students.

The new ASMSCD Constitution will be signed and the new officers sworn in Friday at 3:30 p.m. at the Zenith Room on the sixth floor of the Tivoli Student Union. A reception will follow, as will the first Student Government Assembly meeting at 5 p.m. Everyone is invited. For more information, call 556-3312.

Mestnik Battles MSCD for Independent Paper Funds Nancy Sonnenfeld

..

•

THE METROPOUTAN After months of struggle for funding, an alternative publication will be distributed on the Auraria Campus despite initial concerns about content and legal issues.

Tom Mestnik, co-editor of the Auraria Dissent, said be made requests of the Club Funding Committee for $586.31 for publishing costs, but was denied on several occasions before funding Mestnlk was finally approved.

"I think that they {the Administration)were sending a message to me or to all students, that if you get out of line you're going to have to pay a price," Mestnik said. "I bad to put the pressure on, but I think they were hoping they would deny the funding, and I would say 'ob, all right, I'll do something else."'

The Auraria Dissent is an alternative source for opinions and information aimed at educating and enlightening Auraria students toward all aspects of American life, including problems such as racism, sexism, homophobia, classism and other forms of exploitation, according to Mestnik, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America and former ASMSCD Student Government president.

Mestnik said the paper will promote critical thought. Funding was delayed due to concerns about whether the college could be held liable for the publication's content, said Maggie Miller, acting director of Student Activities.

According to a letter addressed to Mestnik from the Student Press Law

Center, dated March 17, 1994, "a school (or its employees) that is not involving itself in content decisions for student publications will be protected from liability for what those publications publish.

School officials should not be held responsible for something they are not allowed to control."

"It took me a couple of weeks to get the official legal opinion that I would not be held liable for the content," Miller said. "Once that was clear, I said 'great,' and told the Club Funding Committee, 'it's your decision."'

There were other issues contributing to the delay, according to Miller, such as a lack of money and that the committee never funded a newspaper or publication before.

"There were a lot of pros and cons, so the committee decided to fund them partially," she said.

The Club Funding Committee voted to provide $400 of the $586.31 requested.

The MSCD Office of Student Publications supplied the rest.

Because of the delay in funding, the chances of distributing an issue before the end of the semester are slim, Mestnik said. But he hopes to have it circulating by the end of May. The money he received will support publishing for one 'issue, and subsequent issues and additional requests for funding will depend on reaction to the Auraria Dissent, Mestnik said.

"We have a lot of great people who are going to be contributing to this- faculty, community leaders, activists and students," he said.

Parkitig Employees Appeal Antoinette Vecchio NEWS EDITOR An Auraria Higher Education Centet parking employee, frred after an investigation into missing parking funds, settled with the state in a personnel hearing last month.

David Christner, former field supervisor, settled his appeal for dismissal with the Auraria Higher Education Center and the state of Colorado under an agreement reached March 24, the day of the State Personnel Board hearing.

Christner, through his lawyer, Steve Fleming, agreed to accept his resignation as voluntary and he will pay his own costs for attorney fees.

Christner appealed his firing and sought reinstatement and back pay from AHEC. Christner was fired Dec. 31, 1993 from AHEC after Auraria Public Safety concluded its investigation into more than $133,000 in missing debit card revenue during a two-year period.

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.

Financial records show more money was taken off the cards at the exit machines than was added to debit cards at machines in campus buildings.

Two other parking employees, Nancy Evans, former field supervisor; and Art

Kelso, former daytime coordinate and hut attendant; were also fired as a result of the investigation.

Both Evans and Kelso are appealing their dismissal to the State Board of Personnel.

Evans' hearing will be May 12 and 13.

Kelso's hearing is set for May 17 and 18.

Both are seeking reinstatement and back pay.

Attorney John Mosby is representing bvth Evans and Kelso. He is protesting the state's use of videotaped interviews as evidence because the taping was done without his clients', or any of the employees' consent, he said. The judge is expected to rule on admitting the tapes as evidence next month.

Mosby has had several depositions conducted in his office. Of those summoned are JoAnn Soker, executive vice president for Administration; Dean Wolf, vice president of Operations; Mark Gallagher, director of Parking; Linda Duffy, financial operations manager for Parking and Public Safety; and Robert Barela, the Auraria Public Safety Officer who conducted the AHEC investigation, including the videotaped interviews.

The three fired employees were not charged with stealing any money, but the state's defense claims it has witnesses who can testify to Evans' spending habits during the time the money was known to have been missing.

AHEC's attorney, Eric Decator, said he could not comment on the hearings.

OPINION

Praise to Patrick ¡ Jackson fOr Speaking Out After reading your letter about finding the work "fag" written on your podium after class, (The Metropolitan, April 8) I was disgusted .

Occasionally I am lulled into a sense of well-being and safety, into believing that the academic environment is a place for the respectful exchange of ideas. While this is often the case, it is by no means always so.

Many would say that "fag" ("nigger," "bitch," "kike," "cripple") is just a word, as if we should be thankful that it wasn't a baseball bat, or a noose, or a rape, or an institution ... but it is only a word.

By sharing your story with us, you opened ... yourself to further harassment- that was courageous. By speaking about what happened, you placed the responsibility where it belonged- on the person who acted in cowardice and on a society that, by turning a blind eye, gives tacit approval to homophobia and other bias-motivated hatred.

As last week was observed Holocaust Awareness Week, may your actions serve as a community model for naming injustice.

Thank you for speaking.

Response To Megan Reyes From an Angry Student Megan, In your criticism of Tom Altherr in the April 15 edition of The Metropolitan, you question Dr. Altherr's "research" in his response to your groundless and one-sided accusations condemning the MSCD athletic department. No research is needed to spot your blatant short-sightedness, you need only to scan over your half-baked, holier-thanthou ideas and attitudes to come to the obvious conclusion that you either didn't read his response or you simply did not comprehend it.

In Dr. Altherr's response he was trying to inform you of the indisputably important role that NCAA sports plays in college life, not only for the participants but also for the student body that you claim to represent. I do feel a sense of pride when a MSCD team wins. I am sorry you do not share in this pride for such a fine institution, and it saddens me to know that you represent the students.

To take away the sports program might bring more funding for academic programs in the short run, but the effects of dwindling enrollment, combined with the lack of publicity and lowered esteem of the school in the eyes of the Denver community, caused by eliminating the athletic program would surely spell a formula for disaster and cause irreparable damage to the school. We need fewer "termites" gnawing away at the infrastructure of the institution and more students willing to sacrifice. their time and effort in an attempt to buttress the athletic

program as well as the academic programs that form the foundation for the school.

If your purpose was to stir controversy and drum up support for your election campaign, then bravo! But if it was to logically present an argument giving reasons for the dispatchment of the NCAA sports program from MSCD, then you failed miserably. I have no hidden agenda or campaign plans, nor do I wish to besmirch your reputation. However, ~ do believe that those who don't know shouldn't say. I also believe you to be an "empty can" judging by the amount of rattling that you do.

You speak of the lack of support from the "nontraditional student" for college athletics. Please know that I am married and work under the work/study program here to put myself through school, and I do take much pride in our athletic program, men's and women's alike. I have friends who play on teams at the school, and it enrages me to see someone try to eliminate a program so healthy for the school. I don't understand your bitterness toward athletics, but I, like many, find sports a wonderful outlet. It gives us something to cheer for in a world that isn't always so cheery. In conclusion, Megan, I recommend that you find a new tree to bark up.

Keep Prayer Out of Schools Relating to Cobain's Art "If any of you in any way hate homosexuals, people of color or women, please do us this one favor for us- leave us the fuck alone."

Kurt Cobain Liner notes from lncesticide This candor, typical of Kurt Cobain, was on the album released just prior to In Utero. With such outspoken contempt for homophobia, racism and sexism it is little wonder that Cobain, Nirvana, and even his wife Courtney Love, were constant targets from conservative opinion makers, most notable William F. Buckley's National Review.

In interviews with Spin, Rolling Stone, MTV and other media of pop culture, Cobain spoke of his disdain for the Reagan/Bush mentalities and the fear, hatred and greed they represented.

As a radical and a musician, this philosophy endeared me to Nirvana and Cobain. But it was the music that sent me over the edge. With his suicide, the genius of his songs has been well stated. It was a moral victory to see the success of a band that not only had great talent but seemed to compromise so seldom. Kurt went beyond rock-n-roll cliches and actually tried to say something.

On the Monday after his death, Rush Limbaugh featured a segment on his TV show analyzing Cobain's suicide. Since he had a lot of college students visiting him that evening, he asked if any of them felt any affinity toward Cobain or his music.

For those of us who related to Kurt's feelings of solitude, fear, frustration and hope- for those of us who really listened to his ·harsh, muddled voice, never fully understanding but being fully moved anyway; - for those of us who thought he had found something through his art that he healed his overwhelming inner pain_:_ for those of us who were healed a little bit ourselves because of his gift - for those of us who spent time alone, in the dark, headphones on, no light but the LEDs of the stereo, late, oh so late, For those of us...

Once again, a letter from Matt McGuiness leaves me shaking my head in amazement. This time, instead of attacking homosexuals and women who choose to have an abortion, he ventures out of his church on a crusade to bring God back to public school (4/15).

Perhaps Mr. McGuiness should spend a little more time studying history than writing letters though. I don't know what his Roman Catholic version of history says about the good old days before the 1948 McCallum decision, but it sure doesn't match reality. Come on Matt, do you really believe that school prayer and religion classes were "voluntary?" All one has to do is to talk to people who attended school during this period to find numerous accounts of disciplinary action levied against those who did not "volunteer" to participate in those activities. Even today, when so called "student led" prayers happen, the peer pressure that is levied by

public prayer proponents effectively erases any voluntary aspect of participation. This clearly violates the First Amendment (which believe it or not is there for your protection as well, Mr. McGuiness) by interfering with the free practice of religions other than that of your particular bent. These alternatives • include Judaism as well as Atheism and others.

The truth of the matter is that religion and spirituality is a personal matter. Religious education is best left to the family and the church of their choice. Want to pray to the Virgin Mary? Fine, just leave myself and my children out of it. If I want to pray that way then I'll join the Roman Catholic church and send my children to a parochial school. Oh, and Mr. McGuiness, I'm not a Godless atheist- even if you think so.

Jerry Kliner MSCD Student

Police Bias·Evident in Montbello Whites may call it paranoia, while others characterize it as race baiting, yet for those of us who live on the other side of police "activities," the realities of police bias or racism to be specific, is all too real.

Personally, I have never had the misfortune of being at the receiving end of police harassment. However, living in Montbello, the community that Ken Hamblin, Denver's own charbroiled version of David Duke, refers to as "Dark Town," I have been a witness to frequent police stops and frisks on all most every corner. The one question which constantly runs through my mind concerns the legalny of such activities. Yet unless I am personally a recipient of such intrusive procedures, the possibility of my knowing the correct answer is impossible but not implausible.

Take for example the differences in policing in black and white communities. Again, most people especially whites, would blame the constant presence of police officers in black communities on the so-called high crime rate; although statistical analysis in Colorado reveals a low crime rate in Montbello, as compared to other communities. Yet young black males, regardless of evidence, are stopped for no apparent reason. In Montbello, the cops are a constant thorn. They adorn every street corner, lurking in the dark, as though on an ambush.

Do teenagers in white neighborhoods commit less violations when driving than black teenagers?

This scenario might help you decide: On New Year's morning while driving a friend home to Cherry Hills,

where the homes resemble a replication of the "Dynasty" series setting, I discovered something that continues to baffle me. On our way out of Montbello we drove through the usual envoy of police sirens hailing down young male commuters. But this should be expected, right? After all, this is New Year's, the night when every "Crazy'' in town decides to exit the woodwork and "party like its 1999." The Cherry Creek Cherry Hills area, in contrast, lacked that exciting nuance of cops hanging on every corner.

But don't' be disappointed. In the absence of police officers {who were probably all on a MontbelloMission) were commuters, though driving more luxurious cars, booking red lights and weaving and swaying as though blinded by darkness { the streets were _perfectly lit). Even yours truly proceeded to take advantage of this "gold mine of opportunity."

Indeed, I too ran a few red lights without any impuni- ·ty. But it was not too long before I had to shape up.

The sign ahead read, Peoria exit, one-half mile. Yes, I was about to re-enter the domain of the ever-busy, ever-present-cops. But don't try calling them when you are really in need, they will be too busy doing more important things, like hailing down young commuters, for instance. RIGHT ON PSRC!

I always get a chuckle watching two theologito deal with science for a long, long time. Rigid cal ideologies in a pissing match . The fun only structures like religion bend only with the greatest intensifies when both start swinging the heaviest wind. In the West, that wind has always been sciclubs they can find: science and logic. A case in ence. Religions have become quite good at justipoint: The Metropolitan editor Patricia Straub's fying, re-thinking and re-structuring the paramecondemnation of a Christian-oriented opposition ters of faith to fit with science . If you don 't to abortion and letter-writer Doug Archer's conbelieve me, trot on over to the library and look up a fellow named Galileo. So calling upon some demnation of Straub. hodgepodge, amorphous, personalized aggregate Science (real science: Western, observationrepetition based and infinitely subject to change) witch's brew of convoluted, confused and unstrucclearly delineates between what is and is not tured New Ageism, Hinduism, Paganism, Lamaism, Gaiaism and God alone knows what human on the basis of biology alone. Science else-ism, to prove a scientific view of what it is to does not attempt to determine human endowment with some non-biological essence, a soul, let's be "human," takes speciousness to altogether sa.y. Souls, like carvings in stone, are the bailinew levels. wick of faith, not science.

Finally, Straub and Archer piss on each other Science can determine extra-uterine fetal viaover the constitutional issue of freedom from (it's bility, the stage at which fetal development allows • not "of") religion. Again, you can't refer to docuthe fetus/baby to survive outside ments based in a scientifically foundational structure such as the womb. But this is a question of law, for moral guidance- you whether technology, human knowledge and biology permit survival. can't legislate morality. The It's not a question of ethics or theol- 'What it all boils Founders never intended for their down to is this: words to be taken as scripture ogy.

So what does science tell us we don't have any (that's why we can · amend the about the divergent views of Straub evidence regard- Constitution. Can you amend the and Archer on "incarnation?" ing "souls" now, Bible?) True, some of them based on their personal moral ideologies Nothing. So, Archer's statement do we?' within Biblical structures, (the that abortion is "wrong scientificalmajority claimed themselves ly" is patently ridiculous. Science, Deists, however) and there's nothcontrary to Archer's claims, ing wrong with that. At their base, attempts no definition of "incarnation" of souls in humans. And all major religious moral codes say the same, socially healthy thing.

Archer is only partially correct that at conception a "new being comes into existence." The science The constitutional freedom from imposition of religion (state religion) does not, as Archer that he frantically calls to his aid, views this "new being" as a part of its parent organism until viabilasserts, limit one's ability to make choices.

Instead, as intended, it broadens this ability. If ity is reached. Science cannot be called upon to verify anyone's moral or ethical foundations.

Straub wants to follow a personal religion that Similarly, for either Archer or Straub to call allows her to abort an unwanted fetus/child, upon "logic" to fortify their myth structures defies regardless of the convoluted justifications of that logic. There is and can be no independent, decision, the Constitution allows her to do so. demonstrably verifiable confirmation of either What it doesn'.t allow for, what it specifically Straub's or Archer's religious views- one intends, is to keep the likes of an Archer, operating within the confines of his structured illogic, (Western) that the "soul" is incarnate at conception, the other (presumably Eastern) that the from imposing his religious views on us all. "soul" enters at some indeterminate point thereArcher is chasing his tail again with his specious after. Logic, like science, operates from the basis assertion that Straub's religious belief allowing a of available evidence. woman to make the choice of abortion is "forcing" What it all boils down to is this: we don't have her to accept that religious perspective. any evidence regarding "souls" now, do we?

Science and logic cannot be used to establish Instead, we have religious belief- faith. And yes, morality. That's up to people. Still, science and logic can be twisted and shaped into a heavy club even if it's written in a book, it's still just belief.

Too often, limited thinkers abandon even their for the morally righteous- on any side of an own loose-hipped "logic" when they engage in the issue--to swing like Casey at bat. And what gencircular reasoning that goes "it's in our book, erally happens then is that someone, you know, therefore it must be a fact because our book says "them" gets knocked in the head with that club.

That's why science- -real science- stays out of that anything in our book is a fact." Brilliant!

Straub would have us believe this type of such debates and why we have a Constitution in thinking is limited to Christian/Western thinking. the first place. To keep me from getting my head Actually, since science is a uniquely Western split by either side. invention, Eastern religious structures tend to rely J.M.

¡Mountain Climbing Adventurer Comes to Campus JanSport Co-Founder Shares History of Firm and His Dangerous Himalayan Mountain Experiences Elizabeth Gregg THE METROPOUTAN Picture taking a camel ride along the seashore, or watching elephants graze as the sun sets in Africa. Picture natives from other lands smiling for your camera.

Picture being atop the third highest mountain in the world.

These are the real life experiences of one man. Skip Yowell shared these adventures, among others, in a slide show at the Auraria Book Center April 13. As the co-founder of JanSport Inc., an outdoor gear manufacturer, Yowell captured the ABC audience in his "adventure clinic."

"It was so fascinating," said attendee Julia Gill, ¡an MSCD biology major.

Accompanying the slides shown by Yowell, the music of Patrick O'Hearn and a jungle mix also drew in the audience, which had about 50 members at one point.

The music died down 10 minutes into the presentation, and Yowell shared the history of JanSport. He then told about his latest adventure-climbing the third-highest peak in the world.

Kangchenjunga, a 28,208 ft. peak in the Himalayas, has been unattainable for most. Due to avalanches, 25 people have died in years past attempting to reach the summit of the peak, which is located on the border between Nepal and Sikkim.

Yowell was one of six members of the first

and the other hikers spent several weeks trekking through the Himalayas in Nepal. The people were friendly, but the group had to closely watch their equipment for fear it would be stolen. For $3 a day, they were able to have their loads carried by the natives (the average income in Nepal is $240 a year). A photo of a man bathing in a spring helped prepare the ABC audience for what lay ahead for the team.

"It was our last bath for two and a half months," said Yowell.

The group then encountered many obstacles, such as trucks blocking the roads, but eventually all arrived at the 17,000-ft. base of the peak.

Yowell and the team set up camp and weeks later, they were ready to Mt. Kangchenjunga Is part of the Himalayas. begin the final stretch of their journey.

said. (Yowell lost 30 pounds by the end of the trip.) He said although their bodies were "in a dying state,'' on May 18, 1989, Yowell and the group reached the summit of the mountain.

"It was exhilarating. Everybody came back safe and sound with their fingers and toes,'' Yowell said.

When they finished their journey, they took measures to leave the mountain much as they found it.

"I was impressed with their efforts in treating the environment. They removed their trash and burned it all (at their base camp)," said audience member David Cummings, an MSCD electronics engineering technology professor.

Leaving the base camp, the team then trekked back down through the Himalayas while fighting off leeches. According to Yowell, after a while they gave up and took on a different attitude.

"I've got 30 leeches!" one member would brag to another, Yowell said.

Yowell, who flies approximately 100,000 miles a year and lives just north of Seattle, spends his time speaking and climbing for many different causes.

As a JanSport promotion, the purpose of Yowell's presentation was to create awareness of JanSport products available at ABC, according to Bobbi Rubingh, ABC marketing assistant.

More promotions will be done for JanSport at ABC in the future, Rubingh said. r'\

Coach Boots O' Brien said her team is playing better now than at the beginning of the season, but that a higher finish than third at conference April 29 and 30 would be unrealistic.

"To beat DU or the Air Force we would need that big bat that Tonya had," O'Brien said. "We are a bit injured right now and those schools are just so good."

MSCD No. 1 singles player Martin Coe lunges for a volley against the University of Northern Colorado Wednesday on the Auraria courts. The Roadrunners defeated UNC 5-4, and trail the University of Southern Colorado by one match in the Colorado Athletic Conference race.

MSCD Tennis Preparing for CAC TournaIDent Michael BeDan

THE METROPOUTAN

â&#x20AC;˘

The MSCD men's tennis team continues to win in preparation for the Colorado Athletic Conference tournament April 29 and 30 at Berkeley Park.

The men won three matches last week, beating Colorado College 8-1, losing only at No. 6 singles on April 13.

On April 14, Eastern Montana University was in town briefly, and MSCD served up a 9-0 beating. Coach John Arntz was happy with the results.

"We walked all over them," Arntz said.

On Saturday, MSCD faced the University of Denver with the added pressure of Assistant Coach Mike Bania 's prediction two weeks ago, guaranteeing that the Roadrunners would "spank" the Pioneers.

The men narrowly defeated DU five matches to four.

MSCD lost matches at No. 1, No. 3 and No. 5 singles and dropped the No. 3 doubles match as well. Arntz said the

losses at No. 1 and No. 3 singles may have cost Martin Coe and Arturo Rodriguez a first-round bye at the CAC tournament, but Arntz said he is optimistic about MSCD's chances.

"I expect us to compete well with Southern and at least finish second at conference," he said.

The men improved their dualmatch record to 12-1 and will face the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs April 23 at 10 a.m.

The MSCD women took two out of three matches last week, improving their dual-match record to 8-6.

Tuesday the Roadrunners beat UCCS 7-2, dropping the No. 3 singles match and the No.1 doubles. Thursday, Eastern Montana fell victim to an 8-1 drubbing at the hands of the Roadrunners, EMU managing to win only at No. 5 singles in a third set tiebreak.

Saturday found the women at home against DU with a two-match winning
