After years of planning and contract negations, Auraria Campus students have a new StUdent Union at the Tivoli. This summer the former Student Union, now · named the Plaza Building, was packed up and moved into the old German brewery. The Plaza Building is now a classroom building. JoAnn Soker, executive vice president for AHEC Administration, said she wants the students to feel at home in the new

Tivoli Student Union. "I hope they feel welcome, that they will try the things here, explore air the nooks and crannies," she said. "It's part of their campus." The appropriate l?alance of businesses and campus-related space is important, Soker said. The businesses help pay for the cost of acquiring the Tivoli and its renovations, which keeps student fees from being higher than they are. The businesses also offer services and jobs to students. The move to the Tivoli has created more office space for clubs, publications,

and meeting and conference rooms, Soker said. In April 1991, Auraria students voted to raise their student fees $3 to buy back a 68-year lease from Trizec Corp., Soker said. The cost of buying the lease was $6 million, and renovation costs to the Tivoli have exceeded 5.1 million, she said. The Auraria Book Center was the most complex part of the job, said superintendent renovations contractor John Douglas. "It was difficult fitting in the mechanical and electrical junk above th~ ceiling

while maintaining the maximum ceiling height," Douglas said. Other problems arose when Montgomery Elevators acquired a license from the City of Denver to install an elevator, Soker said. The Tivoli Student Union is a state building and isn't obligated to meet city codes, but when Montgomery got the city license, city inspectors started swarming to the job site, believing they were supposed to be there, Soker said.

Tivoli from page 1 "I am surprised anyone is talking about that," Douglas said. It was quicker to go ahead and meet the city's codes regarding the elevator rather than have delays arguing about the fact that it wasn't needed. The elevator was operated for two to three days with a Montgomery employee being paid $38 an hour to push the buttons that make it go up and down until the elevator met the city's codes for elevators, according to Douglas. "There were many situations like that on this project," Douglas said. Because the Tivoli has so many different elevations, four wheelchair lifts have been installed and two more will be completed soon. However, at least one meeting room on the east side of the building is not, and might not ever be, readily wheelchair accessible, according to Douglas.

Highlights of the new Tivoli Student Union

The Five Points Media Center stands ready for MSCD interns.

New media center unsafe? •

Denver disc jockey contemplates protecting herself, while others in the area say safety concerns are exaggerated Meredith Myers The Metropolitan Local businesses in the Five Points area have hired security guards to patrol their companies at night. Without a guard posted at the Five Points Media Center, should students involved in internships and workshops at the center fear for their safety? Michelle Mobley, the Saturday morning disc jockey for KUVO, is so concerned about her safety that she plans to get a gun. The radio station moved to the media center a month ago, and each morning that Mobley has gone in at 4:30, something has happened to make her fearful. She said that although she hasn't been personally assaulted, she sees groups of men every Saturday morning near the parking lot who appear to be gang members. One morning when she drove in, a group of about 25 men were standing nearby. She stayed in her car and watched a man "proceed to do things to himself for my viewing enjoyment." That event prompted her to request that Denver Police patrol the area each Saturday morning when she arrived so that she could feel safe entering the building. The Denver Police do not have any plans for added patrols in the area despite the increase of business traffic. Allen T. Hancock, community resource officer for

the Denver Police Department-District 2, said that in a July 28 meeting at the Media Corp., he discussed personal safety and suggested a security guard at the front of the building. "We (Denver Police) have been involved in the renovation process from

the start, advising the Five Points Media Corp. on security plans for the building," Hancock said. Some of those suggestions were implemented.. Jeff Hirota, executive director of the Five Points Media Corp. said that during the day the doors are open to everyone, but after 5 p.m. the building locks automatically and is secure. "In order to get in after hours you have to be buzzed in the front door, picked up in the entry way by a camera and buzzed through the second door. And still,

when you get to company doors you have to be buzzed through again." Some say the safety concerns at the media center may be blown out of proportion. Carol Naff, community outreach coordinator for Denver Community Television, located on the third floor of the media center, made a comparison to the Cherry Creek area. "Five points has the fifth-highest crime rate in the city and Cherry Creek follows close behind with the eighth-highest crime rate. Does that stop people from going to Cherry Creek, parking their cars and spending an evening in that area? No," she said. Kirby McClure, the programming manager for KBDI Channel 12, and Naff both agree that the area has "an exaggerated reputation." "This neighborhood has gotten a bum rap," McClure said. "The whole area is full of history, and as it's renovated, it's bound to prosper. I don't fear for my safety at all. I think at night and into the early morning hours people are naturally more afraid." However, McClure, Naff and the police all agree that it is important, not only for students, but for everyone to be aware of their surroundings no matter where they are.

• The Auraria Book Center is nearly double in size at its new location on the first and second levels of the west side of the building. It is 3,000 square feet larger, said JoAnn Soker, executive vice president for AHEC Administration. • Also, ABC no longer has a computer section. Instead, a single store dedicated solely to computers is just down the hall on the second level. • The new Student Union will offer a wider variety of food than the previous one. A food court is scheduled to open by Sept. 15, provided problems with installing grease ducts are resolved by then. The eating houses of choice will include a full service Taco Bell, Subway Sandwiches, TCBY, Mandarin Place, and a chicken outlet yet to be announced. • Outside of the food court, The New York Deli will be located across from the AMC Tivoli 12 Theaters and is expected to be open by the first day of classes. • Hammond's Ice Cream and Candy will be across from ABC on the second level. • The Daily Grind will offer a wide selection of coffees with student art as decor and an open mike for poetry reading. • An airbrush T-shirt shop on the second floor will be open soon. • Tivoli Copies, which will also do film developing, is on the second floor next to Snack Attack and Council Travel - which offers student discounts. • An ATM will be on the south side of the second floor near a self-service postal station and TicketMaster. • The third floor holds the weight of student publications, Tivoli Management, Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board, meeting rooms and other offices. • Sigi's Gameroom and Cabaret on the first level is in a medieval-type dungeon. • The Daily Grind will be operating out of an express cart the first day of classes due to delays.

Answer with: Vernon Haley, the new vice president of Student Services Louis A. Landa News Editor LANDA: What major changes are you making or have you made, and how do you see those changes affecting the students? HALEY: I have decided to take a look at the existing services right here ... And I don't mean just in Student Services, I mean collegewide. Student services is just one portion of the college that has to interact with everything else that goes on. I wanted to get a total picture of what the college is in terms of the processes, in terms of how we provide our services - the academic side of the house ... I needed to see a full picture of that. That is what I've been doing for the last three weeks, trying to ascertain the existing scenario here at Metro. One of the mandates that has been given to this office is enrollment management, retention, minority recruitment and improving on existing services that are going on in the Student Services area ... Next week we will be sitting down to prioritize those things. Out of that will come a student-development plan for the next two years. It will highlight ... what

@I I I H

direction we are going. LANDA: Why did President Sheila Kaplan think there was a need to create the position of Vice President of Student Services? HALEY: I can't speak for the president ... but if you take a look at most college campuses, student services is a separate entity ... Prior to my arrival, student services was part of the academic side of the house. So the president decided to separate it out so they would have their own separate budget, their own separate identity ... I think it gives a lot more visibility to Student Services. It indicates the president is very student-services oriented. LANDA: How will students know there is a new person heading Student Services? How will your impact be felt? HALEY: We are very concerned about the environment on campus ... We are going to be working in what we call a customer service approach, a user-friendly scenario. That's going to be a part of our on-going training of all staff in the division. What we are trying to instill ... is that the students are the priority of what we do here at the college. LANDA: What are your plans for dealing with conflict on campus? HALEY: We want to be pro-active ...

HALEY: One of the things I've found during my interview process coming here, is I got a chance to sit down with many different groups on the faculty side, staff side and most of all on the student side. And in each one of those groups some of the various concerns did come up that I took note of. Then, after getting briefing papers from all of my senior staff, I was able to pinpoint some of the areas of significant concern. Then, after I got here ... you could actually get a better sense of where they all fit in terms of prioritizing. LANDA: There are going to be issues and grievances that many students may feel have not yet been solved. Let's take the proposed multi-cultural center. Would you give me your understanding of that issue? HALEY: There is a planning committee dealing with the Tivoli. Are you aware of this? LANDA: Yes. HALEY: There is a subcommittee of that which is dealing with the multi-cultural center lounge area ... It's my understanding that what is going to happen in that particular area is currently in the negotiation phase with the three schools, with their student activities areas ... We want to have activities in that particular

we have system in place so that we don't have to wait for something to happen. Let me give you an example. We are going to be setting up a series of mediation teams dealing with ... sexual harassment ... First Amendment issues, you name it ... if any issue comes up ... we will have a mediation team to deal with that issue right away. LANDA : When should a student come to this office for help and what are the guidelines for access to you? HALEY: If everything is in place ... it would only have to be an office of last resort. That's ideally speaking. Because you would have your Student Activities director, you've got your got your Financial Aid director, you've got your Registrars Office. Most of the concerns of the students are going to be handled in those particular areas. I think there is a need for higher visibility at this point in time. I welcome the opportunity to sit down and speak with students. I will be over in the Tivoli on a regular basis. I want to interact with clubs, with the student activities that are going on, with Student Government. LANDA: With that in mind, how many of the changes that are being made are what you want, and how many are reaction from the students you have talked to?

schools are working to pull that together. That's in process right now. How we are going to budget some dollars to do that, if we're going to do that? Who will have the responsibility for the programming? Is it going to all three of the schools? Will it be AHEC? Those are the things that are being worked out right now ... We are trying to get as much student input to that as possible ... LANDA:' One of the goals of the college and one of the goals of your position is to increase minority recruitment and retention. Do you see this space facilitating that? HALEY: It will be one of the many caveats here on the campus that will be facilitating that. I think the first steps that you see is there is going to be a diversity conference on the 17th and 18th of this month, where faculty, students and staff are coming to talk about the diversity issues ...

HALEY: They are not being left out of this equation at all. I think with the fact that we do have a tri-institutional gay, lesbian and bisexual office is a big effort in that direction. Not too many schools have an office set up just for that. That's a real big set for the three institutions. I have met with Karen Benson (director of Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Student Services). We have talked about some of the initiatives. I think that is more an education thing. We have to keep on educating folks about each of those three areas.

Bank goes to bat for education Jeff Stratton Editor

What could be better than a free Rockies game at Mile High Stadium? How about a four-year scholarship? Denver's BankOne and the Colorado Scholarship Coalition teamed up in July to take scholarship recipients out for a day of baseball, and BankOne presented the Coalition with an $8,025 check. The check was the first installment to a fund that BankOne has set up through its new Rockies checking accounts. BankOne donates five dollars to the Coalition for every new account. Ed Romero, president of the Coalition, said the arrangement with BankOne is "going immensely well." "We started a year ago with a pilot group of 50 kids, and this August we'll be increasing that to 157. We'll be able to put 400-500 kids through the program every year from now 'til doomsday." Joe Herrera, a Coalition board member and president of Hispanics of Colorado, said that his role in the Coalition is to curtail the "high number of dropouts in Denver Public Schools." "The scholarships are going to provide opportunity for youth, as well as an incentive to continue their education after high school." "We'd like to see all these minority kids end up with jobs and degrees," said

Stanley Pouw, chairman of the board for the Coalition. In September, U.S. Secretary of Education Richard Riley is coming to Denver to meet with the Coalition. He will see a Coalition-produced video that pitches investment in the program. The coalition is based on partnerships between the minority community, corporations, foundations, higher education and the news media. The BankOne partnership came about after the bank's Community Reinvestment Act officer suggested that one of the best organizations the bank could support would be the Colorado Scholarship Coalition, said bank vice president of corporate marketing William Shell. "The Scholarship Coalition has organized itself very well - they have a quality administration, and we know they'll make good use of the money," he said. The scholarships are available to members of four ethnic minorities American Indian, Black, Hispanic and Asian. Recipients must show financial need and maintain a 2.5 GPA. About 30 recipients came down to Mile High to see the Rockies play against the Florida Marlins and the presentation of the giant check. One student, Denise Rodriguez, just graduated from MSCD Aug. 7. "I love Metro. I even hate to graduate. But you've got to move on, " she said.

Special to The Metropolitan/Gaeta Behrens

The Colorado Scholarship' Coalition, happy recipients of an $8,025 check presented at Mile High Stadium before a Rockies-Marlins game. "I've received fourteen scholarships, and I've been very direct and clear about my goals and what I want to do. I had to focus on what I wanted to do, and I'm so glad I did. I'm probably one of the few Native American students who do graduate." Rodriguez received her degree in Human Services, and plans to take a year off to work in the field and then apply to graduate schools. She said she wants be involved in alcohol and drug counseling in the American Indian community. Hang Mai, an MSCD sophomore

majoring in Pharmacology, said she was steered in the direction of the program by a high school counselor. Mai is originally from Vietnam. "Without (the scholarship), I wouldn't be able to go to school at all," she said. "After I graduate, I'm going to write letters to every donor who helped me, to thank them," she said. Mai was happy to spend her Sunday watching baseball. "It took me a half hour to walk here in high heels, but it's worth it," she said.

Young candidate for commissioner

MSCD student killed in car accident

MSCD junior Tony Young was 19 when he filed his petition for candidacy in the Elbert County commissioner race. By a mere 10 votes he beat incumbent Robert Hall in the Aug. 9 Democratic primary. "Of course I wish it could have been a larger margin, but a victory is still a victory," Young said. He faces Republican Dale McAndrew Nov. 8. Born to registered Democrats on the Fourth of July in 1974, Young, 20, voted for the first time in the 1992 presidential election.

MSCD criminal justice major Michael Christopher Duran celebrated his 23rd birthday July 16. He was killed eight days later on July 24 in a car accident in Arapahoe County. "For a 23-year-old, he knew exactly what he wanted," said UCD graduate student Kathleen Flaharty. "He wanted to be a cop. He wanted to make a difference." Flaharty met Duran when the two were interning at a Denver halfway house. "A lot of the people at the halfway house wanted to go to Mike's funeral," she said. "He didn't treat them like a

A political science major, Young held his own in a debate against Hall. He credits his eloquence to an MSCD speech class. His platform tackles urban sprawl, inadequate police coverage and school overcrowding. A side aspiration is to counter the bad name given "Generation X" by the news media. Not everyone of his generation is apathetic, unfeeling and indifferent, he said. "I don't fit into any of those categories," Young said. "Some of us out there really do care."

bunch of criminals. He treated people with respect." Duran was interviewing for a position with the Denver County Sheriffs Department before his death. He was born July 16, 1971, in Denver and graduated in 1990 from Smoky Hill High School. An only child, he is survived by his mother, Brenda Johnson of Belton, Texas; his father, Michael Duran of San Diego; and three grandparents, all of the Denver area.

Drainage proble01s surface during book center flood Jesse Stephenson Associate News Editor

Jesus kills Flyers that said "Kill a Cop for Jesus Day" were passed out on and off the Auraria Campus by a UCD student, according to APS. In cooperation with Denver Police, APS arrested the student at home July 21 on charges of felony menacing.

Bong hits APS arrested a man Aug. 1 for writing "Bong" in wet cement on the front steps of the Tivoli Student Union, according to an APS report. A security guard witnessed a man wearing a T-shirt that read "l-2-3 Bongs You're Out - Don't Bong out" writing in the cement. When the guard attempted contact with the man, he fled and was subsequently apprehended by other APS officers. Denver Police transported the man to jail.

Hole in the head A man walked into the Tivoli patrol office Aug. 2 claiming he had been shot in the right wrist while walking near 15th and Champa streets, according to an APS report. Denver General Hospital personnel responded and found no bullet wounds. Denver Police advised the man to leave the area. The man had been drinking, police said.

Torrential rain on Aug. 10 flooded the Tivoli-based Auraria Book Center, leaving the floor and elevator shaft submerged in water. AHEC night crew personnel worked into the wee hours of morning using Shop Vacs to suck up the pools of water that seeped in from under a doorway. The water reached depths of three inches and extended from the book section to the cash registers. It drained into the nearby elevator shaft where the water was estimated to be several feet deep. The first floor of ABC flooded, but little damage occurred to books and other supplies sold there. A mere six books were on the floor and destroyed, said Gretchen Minney, ABC director. Most of the material was left unscathed because it was stacked on pallets above the water line. Despite minimal damage to the books the elevator was out of commission for 48 hours so water could be pumped from the shaft. Additionally, the book section was roped off as crews disinfected fixtures to prevent mold growth. A few students were disgruntled about the haH hour wait to access the book section, but for the most part things are back to normal, Minney said.

"We are a highly resilient organization," she said. "We have bounced back." While it is business as usual in ABC's new location, the aftermath of the flood leaves a slew of questions for those involved in the structural details of the Tivoli. Vernon Paiz, plumbing and steam supervisor for AHEC, said several possible reasons could account for the flooding at ABC and other sites on campus during the storm. Paiz said it is likely that the drains are too small to handle such a large volume of water, adding that it's also possible that the main drainage Jines on the outlying streets are poorly maintained causing water to overflow onto the campus. He said that drainage ducts on campus were recently cleaned in anticipation of possible flooding problems. Regardless of drain size, Tivoli entrance ramps are poorly designed and increased the flow of water to the building, Paiz said. While Paiz and others search for solutions to the flooding problem, all agree that the primary source, mother nature, cannot be controlled. Wednesday's rain was unusually heavy and unrelenting. "The sky just opened up," Minney said.

~B~a·~ck~t~o~S~c~h~o~o_I~···~l_lo_v_it~ i s~tr_att~on~J ~~ETRDPOLlfil Coming back to school this fall has an added bonus. Things are changing so quickly around Auraria Campus - have you noticed that a rollercoaster popped up in our backyard overnight? Or that a commuter train zips around the edge of campus? Then the new Tivoli Student Union is nearly completed. They're still having problems with that pesky baggage system ... or is that the other huge white building that has been dormant for so long? For years the Tivoli has been an incredible space that no one knew how to manage, a white elephant condemned by location (remember the jug-headed jughandle a few years back that forced motorists to make a right off of northbound Speer to access the building?) and by a lack of focus. What doomed the Tivoli as a mall or shopping center was that its tenants never had a common goal - they've always been variations

without a theme, disjointed occupants in a huge, labyrinth-like space. Because they weren't in sync with each other or with the 30,000 students right next door, the Tivoli has always been under-occupied, easy to ignore, not popular enough to compete with the nearby Tabor Center, and not unique enough to lure the students who never seemed to be a priority anyway. What can students do with a steakhouse that serves baked potatoes costing as much as a meal at the food court? The second (or third) coming of the Tivoli may have both oars in the water, and eventually, the space will be open, and it'll be ours, our Union. Of course, a transient campus like Auraria doesn'.t have the same type of feel as a student union on a "real" campus, but our new Student Union will still be full of stuff to see, do, and spend ·money

Financial Aid Woes

Hello, everyone! I'm back from the hinterlands to regale you with tales from life, my life anyway, and the facts of life as I know them to be and as they pertain to MSCD in particular. Take for instance, Financial Aid (P)fil~.l?~.i).. M~ke _sµre they have all the paperwork in order and MAKE COPIES of everything. Hell, make two, you can't be too careful. Whoever said "to err is human, to really foul things up you need a computer," never dealt with Financial Aid at MSCD. In actuality, I know they can't be watching every little scrap of paper that crosses their desk, but it seems they do. Until this year, I have had nothing but good things rolling off my tongue about FA. Now I am a senior, and the word is seemingly out - "Get her!" For some mysterious reason, I got the Pell I applied for, but for spring only. No Pell approval means no loan either, except for spring semester. I turned in my paperwork the first week of July, only noticing the glitch then (remember, they hadn't bitten me before this) and filled out the paperwork needed to change my status for fall. This is where I failed to follow my own very sage advice. I trusted the FA office to get everything straight in due time. I registered on

on. The new game room is phat. The new student offices are cushy. The Tivoli is an old brewery, and some of its unique architecture has been preserved, adding a historic feel that is so palpably absent from the rest of our campus buildings. There's even going to be a Taco Bell - jeez, what else could you ask for? And as lower downtown unfolds in its glorious renaissance, we're right here in the middle of it, watching it all happen. Our vantage point gives us a ringside view of Denver's transformation. Coming back to school this year is like returning to your fa.\(orite playground and discovering that they've pat in new swings and slides ... or coming back to your familiar torture chamber only to find that the rack has been reupholstered. Depends on how you look at it.

Where's the cappuccino? The Espresso etc. cart in the former Student Union is gone, but students can still find Italian coffee drinks on the south end of campus in the dusky underground coffee bar at Ninth Street Park's Mercantile restaurant Robyn Schwartz The Metropolitan With all the changes in Auraria ' s northern sprawl to the Tivoli, it's nice to have some stability down south. And important to caffeine-starved "southern" students with higher taste is the cappuccino bar/grotto in the depths of The Mercantile on Ninth Street Park. Yes, you can still get Italian coffee drinks down south. Pete Martinez runs the tiny bistro equipped with a miniature old-style silver-plated espresso machine, and says he expects the place to be swamped with the onslaught of fall semester. He's been busy enough in the summer as it is. "It ' s a nice place to come if you ' re lucky to find it," Martinez says. Yes, it is nice. Especially since the ordinance prohibiting smoking on campus kicked in. The Merc's coffee bar is a tiny piece of Bohemia, and because it's now minus the mystical cloud of tobacco smoke, it's easier to breath in the cavernous space while studying, and it still looks like you might run into Jack Kerouac or Lowell Thomas down there. The walls are bare

stone and brick. This historic building (about 100 years old) is a great place for studying, or writing poetry. In fact, the Merc's coffee cavern has been the home to at least one poetry group in the past. Manager Steve Wilcox says he is open to future poetry readings and maybe an acoustic guitarist or two. "I wouldn ' t do it at lunch again," Wilcox says, "because the place was too busy at that time. People were in too much of a hurry." Martinez welcomes the possibility of openmike times for poets, comedians and musicians. "I even got up and read one once," Martinez says, "a poem called 'The Espresso Queen."' Martinez loves his The Metropolitan/Jane Raley job. He has run the Mercantile's coffee spot The miniature espresso machine at the Merc's subterranean cappuccino cabana.

for three years. It opened five years ago, serving flavored coffees and hot chocolate (the espresso machine is a new acquisition - it's only about a year and a half old). He says he enjoys being around people all day. "Students come in and tell me their problems ... a lot of people wouldn't get through college without me," Martinez jokes. "A lot of people say they come down here and it feels like they're not on campus." Prices at the coffee bar are lower than most other cappuccino stands, although Martinez says he expects prices to increase soon, but not by much. I know I'm not the only one who will miss Judy Fey's Espresso etc. cart in the former Student Union. But I expect to become a devotee to this little cave. Pete's a great guy to hang around with. I can't afford a psychologist right now and I'll need help getting through my last semester at MSCD. And cappuccino. I need lots and lots of cappuccino, the elixir of academic life. Martinez thinks he might meet his future wife in this dark, romantic place. Maybe you will, too. A piu tardi.

first to receive much attention in the States. A dreamy noir theme runs through songs like the deliciously languid "Frightened at Night" and the Dear Prudence-y "(I'm A) Smart Drug." Beatie-inflected and folky at times, this record makes me want to check into the Blue Aeroplane's back-catalog.

month sees Laurie Anderson release Bright Red on Warner with special guest paramour Lou Reed. September also finds Sinead O'Connor and Pearl Jam putting out new product. O'Connor's Universal Mother (Chrysalis) will include a cover of Nirvana's "All Apologies." Britain's arty soulmeisters The Wolfgang Press come out with Funky Little Demons on the 4AD imprint, as will the Pale Saints' Slow Buildings; Bryan Ferry's Mamouna, on Virgin, features guest spots from former Roxy Music mates Brian Eno, Andy Mackay and Phil Manzanera. Boulder's own Samples release Autopilot Sept. 13 on their label, W.A.R. , and hip-hop/metal terrorists Pop Will Eat Itself try something new on Trent Reznor's label, nothing. In October, expect a CD of remixes from the Red Hot Chili Peppers on EMI, as well as a John Cale-produced new album from Siouxsie and the Banshees. Siouxsie herself has teamed up with Morrissey for a single, which should be out by the time you read this. If The Carpenters tribute album (A&M's If I Were a Carpenter) doesn't sound scary enough (what with Cracker doing "Rainy Days and Mondays"), you'll have to snag MCA's tribute to Lynyrd Skynyrd featuring Wynonna's version of (I'm not making this up) "Freebird."

Back upstairs, Snack Attack carries candy, chips, cookies and beverages; soon it will be stuffed with frozen convenience foods (and a microwave oven) to make it easy to grab a quick lunch. Tivoli Copies, a branch of Auraria Reprographics, is next door to Snack Attack. It offers black & white and color copying, booklet binding, course packet production and copyright clearance for professors, and resume, fax and package shipping services.

The main store still has the goods you're looking for: textbooks, general reading books (and a super book club), gifts, and school, office, art, lab and engineering supplies. Our insignia clothing area sports the kind of logo clothing you'll be proud to wear. Watch for new product lines coming in throughout the fall. Over 200 of your fellow students comprise the bulk of the ABC staff - we're here to help you find the books and ancillary items that are part of your investment in a higher education.

The Max exhibit will be open for another week or two, according to Beth Jordan, associate gallery director at Gallery One. Gallery director Michie Ford said more than half of the exhibit has been sold or transferred to other Gallery One locations. One of the poshest of downtown ' s many galleries, Gallery One is one place to reduce stress and gain inspiration during a short break in a busy day. The gallery contains works by Leroy Neiman and American Indian artists Earl Biss and R.C. Gorman, among others. The works of Aldo Luongo and G.H. Rothe alone merit a visit to the gallery, whether you make it there in time to see the Max exhibit or not. Luongo has an impressionistic style. In fact, one featured painting is "Bridge at Giverny" - a painting of the same bridge Monet painted in his garden. Rothe's works have a frenzied feel to them, yet they are complex compositions full of psychological suggestion. Gallery One is worth the short walk from Auraria Campus. It is a veritable museum of quality contemporary art.

Sl\IAPsnoTs Welcome to the Tivoli Student Union. Although the livoli is not quite ready to host its official grand opening, many offices, restaurants and services are open.

The Auraria Book Center has been up and running since July 18th and offers the following extended hours for the week of Aug. 22: 7:30 a.m-8:30 p.m. Monday-Thursday; 7:30 a.m.-5 p.m. Friday; and 8 a.m. - 4 p.m. Saturday. Closed Sunday. Book Buy-back now has a second location on the garden level of the livoli.

The Auraria Copy Center is on the second floor.

Sigi's Gameroom will open on the garden level, Aug. 22 with billiards, card and dart room, ping pong and snooker tables. Sigi's Cabaret, a bar named after the livoli's founding brewmeister, Moritz Sigi, will open around the beginning of October. What about FOOD? The food court will not be open until midSeptember or early October, but never fear. Check out the fare at The New York Delicatessen, which opened Aug. 18. It's owned by the same New Yorker, Warren Tepper, who owns the thriving Boulder eatery of the same name. It's pricier than Rockies Deli in the North Classroom, but it's got the tallest menu I've ever seen, including 12 salads, less costly Blue Plate Specials for students, a 10-item kids' menu, potato latkes, 16 burgers, pizza, espresso, lox and bagels, chopped liver, and ... OY! I'm out of breath.

Welcome to Metro State· from the Extended Campus Program Providing convenience and accessibility • Metro South (near Orchard Rd. & 1-25) • Metro North (near 120th Ave. & 1-25) • Metro on the Mall (1554 California St.)

But there's more. Speaking of Rockies Deli, they will have a cart on the first floor of the livoli Student Union starting Mon., Aug 22, until the food court opens. So will Taco Bell and the Daily Grind.The Boiler Room is still the place to beer at Auraria, Morton's of Chicago is still here too. The Snack Attack (a convenience store) offers lower-than-normal-convenience-storeprices on the second floor.

The sixth and seventh floors are home to Fieldwork Denver, Inc. This consumer market research firm pays $30-$40 per person for two hours of consumer participation in their studies (enough for a cheap textbook or lunch at Morton's). For more information, call 825- 7788.

The Metropolitan will update Tivoli openings weekly.

Lee's 'Eat Drink Man Woman' serves up a happy family meal to moviegoers Meredith Myers The Metropolitan Eat. Drink. Man. Woman . Combined, these are life-sustaining elements. In the movie, these are the elements that produce comical twists of fate coupled with ironic lessons in life. Directing the film "Eat Drink Man Woman," Ang Lee ("The Wedding Banquet") drew on his personal experiences growing up in Taiwan. Lee said in a promotional release that he was intrigued by the irony that every family exists because of sex, yet it is a topic most families have trouble discussing including the Chu family, the film's fictional family. The film ' s plot focuses on a traditional father raising three relatively contemporary daughters who have very different lives, yet live under the same roof in Taiwan. The father, Tao Chu (Sihung Lung, "Wedding Banquet"), believes food is life - his profession and his means of raising his daughters. Communication is difficult for the Chu family , and the elaborate Sunday dinners that Tao Chu prepares throughout the movie are a ritual that had become the forum for family discussion and "small

"Eat Drink Man Woman" offers funny food for thought. announcements." The oldest daughter, Jia-Chien (Chien-Lien Wu), hides her broken heart behind religion and teaching chemistry at a Taiwan high school. She has been devoted to her father since the girls' mother died nine years earlier. Jia-Ning (Yu-Wen Wang) is the youngest and most innocent daughter, whose romantic awakenings arise for her best friend's boyfriend. Jai-Chien (Chein-Lien Wu), the middle daughter, and her relationship with her father add the real spice to the movie.

Of the three daughters, she has the healthiest appetite for love and sex, although she doesn't always get it in that order. On the surface, it appears that she has it all, yet throughout the film it is discovered that she is deficient in more areas than one. A power struggle between her and her father has created a longtime feeling of inadequacy that affects her relationships and life decisions. The central element is the importance of food and its relation to the characters in the film . In fact, the food is almost the star of the film, because it rep-

IMPORTANT NOTE:

resents so much about the family members' lives. The food that is prepared and the manner in which it's prepared often reflect the emotions of the preparer, foreshadowing the scenes to come. Master Chu's loss of his sense of taste symbolizes his loss of enthusiasm for life. The film was intriguing because of the many twists of fate. Very few things that a viewer anticipates happening actually happen. Plan to eat dinner after the film, because it is full of scenes that will make anyone's mouth water. Three world-class chefs worked on the production full-time, including food specialists who would come in to prepare more complicated dishes. In fact, over 100 different recipes are used in " Eat Drink Man Woman." Two notes worth mentioning: If you are interested in an action-packed movie with lots of violence, sex, and nudity, this is not your bowl of rice. Also, the entire film has subtitles. However, after watching for 20 minutes, it is easy to forget that you are reading words instead of hearing them com~ out of the actors' mouths, because the scenes are played so well.

MSCD Spanish professor wins Fulbright Scholarship Billie Arlene Grant The Metropolitan "It's the realization of a dream," said MSCD professor Olivia Lopez Hartenstein. She refers to her recent honor receiving a Fulbright Teacher Exchange Scholarship this spring. Hartenstein has taught Spanish, Latin American Literature and Introduction to Literature at MSCD for three years. The Fulbright Commission Scholarship offers programs in various fields. Hartenstein chose to go to

Argentina in July to teach for one semester at the University of San Juan. Hartenstein's husband, Hugo, accompanied her and is also teaching in Argentina. Hartenstein ' s son, David Carter, 20, is staying in the States to continue his studies at the American University in Washington D.C. Hartenstein was-born in Jovellanon, Cuba, and has been in the United States since 1960. She attended Wesleyan College in Macon, Ga., and the University of Colorado. She has a bachelor's degree in French and education and a master's in Latin American literature.

Hartenstein said she wanted a Fulbright Scholarship because it is an opportunity for her to teach in a Spanishspeaking country and "to learn about international education and about other people's ways of living." Hartenstein says she sees the base of education as "developing a human being." "I have been able to be in contact with many people and it has really changed my perspective. I am really happy that I have been a teacher," she said. She will return to MSCD in January 1995.

Super sports summer goes south Michael BeDan Spotts Editor A summer that promised to quench a sports fanatic's thirst for action turned out to be as dry and unsatisfying as a cup of hot sand at the finish line of the Tour De France. With so many championships being decided right here in the North America World Cup Soccer, NBA Championship, NHL Championship and the World Championship of Basketball - and with the most promising baseball season in recent memory underway, it was a lock. What could go wrong? EVERYTHING! The World Cup attracted a record number of fans in its first ever stop in the States. The success of the U.S. team did wonders for soccer in a country that would rather see the Chicago Bears eke out a 12-9 victory over the Green Bay Packers than Italy's Roberto Baggio score the winning goal in a quarterfinal World Cup match against Spain. The World Cup showed Americans why former Brazilian soccer star Pele calls soccer "the beautiful game." It also showed us that foreign soccer fans are nuts. Andres Escobar, a 23-year-old Columbian player, had the unfortunate luck of accidentally

scoring a goal for the U.S. team in the first round and was later murdered for the miscue. Maybe the fans in the south stands of Broncos games aren' t so bad, huh? On the field the World Cup was great to watch until the conclusion of a scoreless dogfight of a final. After neither Brazil nor Italy could score in 90 minutes of regulation and 30 minutes of overtime, the game was settled with 12-yard penalty kicks. Brazil won the World Cup, but ending it like that was as ridiculous as settling game seven of the NBA Finals with a free throw shooting contest. Speaking of hoops ... The NBA Finals S.M.J. (sans Michael Jordan) were akin to watching a rugby match, but that's not what tainted them entirely. 0 .J. Simpson's mindboggling car chase that interrupted the Finals shifted the nation's focus from one of the few good games in the seven game series to the spectacle of a sports hero in a twisted crisis. The fact that the Houston Rockets eventually beat the New York Bricks in game seven saved basketball from a complete plummet to the level of WWF Wrestling. The most redeeming championship decided this summer was the thrilling seven game series in the NHL Stanley Cup Finals between the New York Rangers and the Vancouver Canucks. The Rangers

ended a five decade Stanley Cup drought by winning game seven and New York went wild. The fact that the hockey was more entertaining than the basketball proved that the NBA needs M.J. and that the NHL has come a long way from the 'goons on skates' reputation that it so rightfully wore in years past. For the moment, hockey and hoops have swapped styles. America continues to have a chip on its shoulder in international basketball as proven in the World Championship of Basketball last week. Dream Team I stomped through the 1992 Barcelona games sporting the best collection of players ever assembled. Aside from Charles Barkley's elbow and the Nike'controversy, the Dream Teamers showed the world that America is light years ahead of everyone on the hardwood. This year's Dream Team, Dream Team Junior, was not as fortunate. The new ensemble of characters spent more time talking trash than playing and was put back in place by Spain. Though America won that game 115-100 and eventually the entire tournament, they did so with slightly less dominance and much less class. The original Dream Team never allowed more than 85 points by an opponent on its road to the gold. Finally to America's pastime ...

Fans, get over it. Of course you 'd play baseball for $100,000 a year. Of course you think they are overpaid whiners for striking. Of course you think so. But none of you 'fans' have the talent to play professional sports and can't begin to fathom the degree of greediness that tlie owners are displaying. The true tragedy of the strike is that a season of brilliance has been ruined and may not be repeated anytime soon. Ken Griffey Jr., Frank Thomas and Matt Williams all had legitimate shots at breaking Roger Maris' season home run record of 61 blasts. Texas Rangers hurler Kenny Rogers pitched a perfect game against the California Angels, and Thomas, aptly nicknamed the Big Hurt, could also have won the triple crown, (league leader for batting average, home runs and runs batted in) had the season not ended Aug. 12. Hopefully the NFL will provide some relief from this summer of lost dreams. The new rule changes will add to the game that was becoming as dull as the women's professional tennis tour. Fall and Winter may reward us with some greatly improved NFL action. Let's hope the Buffalo Bills don' t find a way to screw that up, too.

MSCD Women ' s Basketball coach Darryl Smith will have six new weapons at his disposal for the 1994-95 season. A recruiting class of two high school graduates and four junior college transfers should help the Roadrunners maintain the high level of play that allowed them to compete in the Division II NCAA tournament last season. "This is, without question, a great recruiting class," Smith said of his new arsenal. " Every one of these young women will be successful at the Division II level. I'm happy to have their talents on the squad, and they will help us contend for the Colorado Athletic Conference

They won the CAC tournament against Denver University in a thrilling overtime game 75-74, which gave the Roadrunners their first ever birth into the NCAA Division II tournament. Treading on new ground, the women were beaten soundly by Augustana 88-65 in the first round. This recruiting class strengthens the Roadrunners and they will be in the hunt for a return trip to the NCAA tourney.
