Group wants answers on criteria for awarding money to club events Claudia Hibbert Associate News Editor Members of the Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan are accusing the Club Funding Committee of "inequity" in awarding money for club events. MEChA asked for $1,000 to host a panel discussion in a conference discussing issues in the Hispanic community. The Accounting Honor Society also requested and received $1,000 for a job fair for Auraria accounting students.

MEChA did not get full funding for its event. When Monica Garcia, acting president of MEChA, questioned CFC members about the decision, she said she was not told why the committee decided against total funding. According to Maria Rodriguez, outgoing vice president of Campus Communications, the committee had not discussed how moneys would be awarded before Garcia brought MEChA's proposal to the table. '.'

CFC members deny racial bias

FUNDING from page 1 chairwomen and vice president of Student Organizations, said that 80 percent of CFC moneys had gone to Hispanic clubs in the past. "There may not be racism, but there may be some prejudice towards our organization," Garcia said, adding that the college's sta·nd on diversity issues should have influenced the decision. "We have different Hispanic clubs with different purposes. (McMaken) had no business telling me about past funding." The main reason full funding was not awarded came from MEChA's lack of information about its event, Steneroden said.

"If we fund one (club) for X amount, and we fund another for Y amount, then yes, there is inequity," he explained. "You have to point somewhere and say if there's inequity in the dollars, then there must be - if we are fair - inequity in the proposals, or in the event or in the perceived benefit to Metro State College and its students directly." McMaken invited any club to represent its proposal if representatives wanted to give more information about events for more funding. In the future, clubs will need to provide a written abstract and the mandatory forms fqr their event should questions arise. "I am half-Hispanic, and my decision was not racist," McMaken said.

Practical joke lands UCD student in jail Christopher Anderson Staff Writer

....

September 2, 1994

UCO student Robert Betts said his First Amendment rights were violated when he was arrested July 21 at home by Denver police for posting fliers in Capitol Hill that read "Kill a Cop For Jesus." Betts, 23, was given six months deferred judgment for posting the 20 fliers. He was arrested by two Denver Police Department Intelligence Officers and charged with violating municipal ordinance No. 38-92 (A) - "Threat to Injure Person, Property ." Betts was released later that night when a friend posted the $100 bail. Although Betts said his rights were violated, be said he plead guilty because he was scared. Betts said he couldn't afford a lawyer and that he didn 't have time to wait for the ACLU to provide him one. Criminal attorney Chris Miranda said he thinks a judge would have been required to dismiss the case as a matter of law. "It would have been an interesting one to try," he said. "You have to specifically identify the person who was threatened. And - in this case - you only have a generic cop, if you even want to think of what he said was a threat. And, obviously Jesus is not a real person.

"I think this would have been subjectMonkey Wrench, a four-page newspaed to a motion of dismissal on violation of per produced by Betts, was in its fourth First Amendment grounds, and on the publication. However, the papers were other grounds that no specific person is confiscated from his home when Betts was arrested, and he doesn't know if they referred to," Miranda said .

Wrench. "One thing finally happened in Denver that just totally broke it for me, and I was just like, 'I am going to do something about this,"' he said. Betts said the incident occurred when he was harassed by Denver police after he threw a small party. Someone had kicked in a big glass door at his apartment building. The police told Betts they thought someone from his party had done it. Betts said he didn' t know anything about it. "They harassed me for about a good half hour.... (They) threatened to take me to jail for the weekend," Betts said. Betts said the police gave him a ticket for disturbing the peace. When he asked them why, Betts said one police officer shrugged his shoulders and said "Ahh, your stereo is too loud." "I closed the door and I was infuriated. And I am like 'I am beating this,"' Betts said. Betts retained a lawyer and was prepared to take on the charges. He then discovered the charges had been amended. Betts ended up pleading guilty to a different charge. He said he only owned a box radio, but plead guilty as recommended by his lawyer to avoid a $300 fine and was given a deferred judgment. ''The kicker was that I had to go up there and admit to something I didn't do," Betts said.

Computers get shot in the main frame Jesse Stephenson Associate News Editor It's a virus that won't cause a runny nose or nausea, yet it can easily run you hundreds of dollars in the hole and cause quite a headache. This is no ordinary bug - it's a computer virus and the MSCD computer department is working to make sure your PC doesn 't get infected. If you do happen to pick up a computer virus, resulting damage can range from the humorously annoying to far more serious harm to the hard drive. Computer Science Professor Ken Shaw said the best protection from computer viruses is the use of anti-virus software such as F-PROT®, which is used on campus IBM software to detect viruses. F-PROT® scans for thousands of known viruses and can disinfect a disk should a virus be present, according to Shaw. Updated versions of F-PROT® and SAM©, which is for Macintosh software, are installed about once a semester on campus computers. Shaw said this frequent updating of scanning software is necessary to keep abreast of newly developed viruses. Since the college buys a license to the software, students are encouraged to copy the programs and install them on their home computers.

While the cost of updating scanning software on campus is relatively little at about $1,500 a year, responding to the threat of computer viruses costs more than money. It costs time. In varying degrees, almost everyone who uses a computer at Auraria spends some time avoiding the scourge of computer viruses. Some consider waiting for a scan unnecessary, but it ' s time well spent according to Norman Mikesell, manager of User Services for MSCD. Mikesell said users should be aware that with proper prevention, damage from computer viruses can be greatly minimized. "Any computer user should be concerned about computer viruses," Mikesell said. Preventative measures include vigilant use of scanning software, not copying from other people's disks and not downloading programs from bulletin board services. Despite these preventative measures, computer viruses continue to regularly infect faculty and student software on campus. Mikesell said he responds to more than 20 calls a year from faculty who have picked up a virus on campus. Departments that have the greatest contact with student disks seem to get viruses the most often, he said.

MSCD on-air Meredith Myers Staff Writer Two MSCD voices sound over the Colorado airways. President Sheila Kaplan and senior journalism student Jeff Martinez host MSCD-sponsored public affairs talk shows, aired 52 weeks a year. "I consider 'Conversations' an issues-oriented program," Martinez said. "Guests on our show range from politicians to activists to community leaders." Martinez has been involved with the program since 1992. "I like to look at the broader pictures ... to get at the important questions. People need to learn about issues like health care, because they don't always read about it .... I'll even play devil's advocate to get the answers," he said. Over the years, he's had notable guests, including Gary Hart. "That interview is one that stands out the most," Martinez said. "He was on a book tour, promoting a book he had just written. I thought he was very down-toearth ... and brilliant." Kaplan is host on "Colorado CloseUp," a question and answer show started in 1993 and designed to highlight MSCD and the president's office. Over the year the programs and criteria for guests on the show have evolved. "Now the guests not only have to be

interesting, but they have to fit the mission of the school," said Janet Datisman, MSCD media coordinator. "Jeffs show is the more controversial of the two," she said. "His program gets at Denver issues while Dr. Kaplan's guests are involved in issues like diversity and urban partnership - state issues. "According to the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education, 'Colorado Close-Up' is the only show of its type in the nation, and it's broadcast statewide." Both weekly shows are recorded at the Office of College Communications in the Terra Centre. "The show is cheap to produce," Datisman said. The equipment to record the broadcasts were purchased for training before the show originated. Three people are involved in the recording process. Datisman and MSCD student producer Stephen O'Connor set the dates for the different guests, write the questions for the interviews and edit the tapes. "Both of the broadcasts are taped, so we can cut anything (inflammatory) out," Datisman said. The disclaimer, "Views expressed on this show do not necessarily reflect those of MSCD administration, faculty, staff, or students," has been needed at times for Martinez's show. During Kaplan's show the disclaimer has never been needed.

Child care wait list cut Jesse Stephenson Associate News Editor

;

The names on the wait list at the Auraria's Child Care Center plummeted from 1,000 to 250 this semester. New classrooms and prioritized admissions have made it possible to trim the list to one-quarter its original length. The construction of six new rooms added space for 125 more children at the center. The capacity is now 250. Debbie Jump, director of the Auraria Child Care Center, said the $1.7 million project was paid for by a $3 student-fee increase that was approved by students in 1992. A portion of the funding was allocated for replacement of worn playground equipment and construction of a new tricycle path. While a large portion of the wait-list was eliminated thanks to the construction, more names were eliminated following a survey of the remaining families on the

list. Many had been on the list for years and found other places to get daycare. Many children of students were admitted preceding the inquiry, yet children of faculty were moved to the bottom of the list. Jump said students get first priority because student fees were used to fund the additions. "What we did was set up a priority system so that we serve students first, and if there's space we will allow faculty and staff to enroll," Jump said. Regardless of the prioritizing of fulltime care, Jump said everyone is better able to get some type of care, even on an occasional basis. The additional space made walk-in care available for the first time in five years or more. While Jump said she is very happy with the new classrooms, she won't miss the sights and sounds of construction. "Frankly, I'll be really glad to say goodbye to constriction," she said.

Because I want one In her scathing attack on freedom "Is that an Uzi in your pocket?" in the Aug. 26 issue of The Metropolitan, Features Editor Robyn Schwartz welcomed responses to her disbelief in the Second Amendment. Here's one. I do not care whether she can "think of one situation in which an average citizen would need a semi-automatic weapon." Since when were people's possessions determined by whether others could think of an appropriate need? I do not decide for Robyn whether she needs a cup of coffee, a new haircut, a car, more than one pair of shoes, or any of the things she has. That is as it should be. It's called freedom. People used to die for it. I also don't terribly want to list any reasons for why I should have the right to own any possession that I wish. It's guaranteed in the Constitution. But for those who don't care about freedom, I will. 1. Because I want a gun. 2. So that I can defend myself and my family. None

of us are so naive as to think banning semi-automatic weapons will keep them away from the criminal element. I don't want to be put at a disadvantage from those who will take my life or property. 3. In case I am ever involved in a civil war or a foreign conflict on my land. Remember our Civil War occurred after the Second Amendment was written into our Constitution. Your article made me ill. Yet I am glad you wrote it. By doing so, you can take the credit for spurring me into finally joining an organization that fights for my rights and everyone's freedom. NRA: I'd be proud to replace Ben Campbell in your lofty membership. Mollie Ziegler UCO student

Very few Christians are fools In reading the Aug. 19 issue, one is led to the conclusion that Christians are incredibly ignorant people who worship a God who kills. Is this the impression you wish to leave? I refer to the Police Briefs entry on page 9 and the cartoon on page 22. Would you print a headline such as "Mohammed Kills"? Would you print a cartoon of a naive Tibetan monk? I suspect that these things would never be allowed. Could it be that, for The Metropolitan, everything is to be respected and tolerated (the ultimate political correctness) except for Christianity? The "Jesus Kills" story has nothing to do with the activity of Jesus, and probably doesn't reflect the activity of a follower. Why titillate your audience by maligning the one who is worshiped by a considerable percentage of your readership? Do you have an agenda of ridiculing the

deeply held faith of millions of Americans? Your cartoon presents a stupid, intolerant, angry clergyman who is expressing an idea I've never heard promoted in my 40 years. The idea was considered ridiculous when I was a child! Surely you don't believe that Christian clergy believe this foolish notion about masturbation. What is your point? If you take the time to investigate what Christianity is all about, you will find a reasonable faith that is believed by hundreds of millions worldwide. Very few Christians are compliant fools who blindly follow alluring fundamentalist preachers. We are Ph.Os, mechanics, journalists, physicians, college students, etc. I'd be happy to discuss these things with you at any time. ... Wayne D. Jordan

Exercise control over desires ,-

We are writing to express our concerns regarding the cartoon printed in the Aug. 19 issue of The Metropolitan. The cartoon shows a priest telling a young man not to masturbate because it will cause blindness. The youth responds by asking if it is all right to do it until he has to wear glasses. We object to this cartoon for several reasons. First of all, the cartoon was not even remotely humorous. One of the primary purposes of newspaper cartoons is to make people laugh. This cartoon failed to make us laugh. More important is the fact that the cartoon was in very bad taste. It made light of something that is a sensitive issue among young people and it also employed an unkind caricature of a Christian minister. Indeed, the priest was portrayed as a stern, uncaring man totally out of touch with

reality. The priest's hollow cheeks, sunken eyes and expressionless face, coupled with his ignorant statement show him to be a person without compassion or understanding toward the young man's struggle. Presumably this is how the cartoonist views all ministers and Christians in It's interesting that general. Christians are one of the few groups in this country who still suffer this abuse without repercussions. The cartoonist seems to think that sexual issues should be casually joked about. Certainly, sexual humor abounds, but we believe that sex and sexual desires are above such denigrating humor. Our sexual desires are more than animal lusts to which we are nothing but slaves. Sexual de_sires are God-given. As God's creation, we need to learn to manage

these desires in a way that pleases him. We, as Christians, are not in favor of repressing sexual urges, but instead want to see us fulfilling those desires in the way that God intended - in a monogamous marriage. We encourage The Metropolitan to be more selective in the future when choosing cartoons. We also encourage all Auraria students to try to act as true human beings by exercising control over the sexual desires which God has graciously given to them. Dan Harder president, UCD-IVCF Jonathan Schlenker president, MSCD-IVCF and the members of lnterVarsity Christian Fellowship, Auraria

OK, you won't go blind from it Tsk, tsk! Such anti-religious bigotry one expects from pornographic or neo-Nazi publications, but a college paper? Your "cartoon" in the Aug. 19 issue which portrayed a priest giving "advice" about masturbation to a young schoolboy was demeaning and inaccurate. Will you for the sake of "fairness" begin libelous attacks on Jews, African-Americans, and other religious and ethnic minorities? I pray you do not. The Catholic Church can give numerous reasons why masturbation is sinful; but you won't see blindness on the list. Masturbation is a seriously immoral act because it

AIDS Walk Team rallies in broiling sun Mike Larkin The Mefropo/1tan Under a glaring sun on Aug. 26, students walked by the "From All Walks of Life" rally. Going to and from classes, some stopped, but few lingered. During the 90-minute rally, no more than 20 people gathered in front of the flagpole at a time. This did not deter the speakers from trying to get their message out and solicit more donations and sponsorships for the seventh annual AIDS Walk Colorado Sept. 11. Proceeds from the event wi:ll benefit 31 agencies statewide that serve people with HIV/AIDS. "I'm not unhappy," said Jeff Milich, an Auraria Walk Team organizer. "There were people listening. I could see it in people's faces. I could see how long they sat." Milich noted that few sponsor sheets were left after the rally. Billi Mavromatis, another organizer and health educator for the MSCD Student Health Center, was out of sponsorship forms Tuesday. Megan Reyes, president of the MSCD Student Government Assembly, was the first of seven speakers at the rally. Reyes, like those who followed, focused her talk on how the topic of AIDS is avoided and unfairly judged by our society. Reyes concluded by challenging individuals to "think about your part in the fight against AIDS and act." Several speakers talked about how much of a "not-me" disease AIDS seems to be. Milich read from a speech written by Kersten Keith, a member of the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board. Keith noted in the address that the attitude in our society is that "(AIDS) is not

my problem or that it won't affect me." But as Milich pointed out, "(HIV) affects more people than it infects." Every speaker emphasized that AIDS is not a "homosexual disease" but the con-

cern of everyone. ''HIV is an equal opportunity disease," said Karen Bensen, coordinator of Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Student Services. Jeff Davis, a member of the board of

The People With AIDS Coalition Colorado, talked about the unfairness of judging people with AIDS. Davis is also the editor of the coalition's newsletter, Resolute. "It's an invisible disease ... you can't tell who is HIV positive," he said. Davis himself looks very healthy, although he is HIV positive. John Schlegel, president of the board of directors for the Colorado AIDS Project, gave some of the specifics for the walk. Schlegel said that the Colorado Aids Project is hoping this year's walk will raise $700,000. Schlegel noted, however, that supporting the walk and the walkers is just as important as raising money. "You don't have to be on a team, just come out and participate." Milich closed the rally by reading magazine columns written by Lenny Jaramillo. Jaramillo died of AIDS-related complications and wrote about his slow death from the virus in a column called "living w/AIDS," published in Denver's Outfront newspaper. The articles paint a portrait of a real person really dying from AIDS, something that not many people have to think about day to day. Jaramillo's last article, written eight hours before he died, was resolute and tired. '1 decided I was going to Let someone who died two months ago speak for me," Milich said after the rally. Colorado AIDS Walk 1994 will start at 8:30 a.m. Sept. 11 in Cheesman Park. To sign up for the walk, call the Student Health Center at 556-2525 or Karen Bensen at 556-6333. Donations are appreciated but not required to participate. Milich challenges everyone on campus to donate $1 to the cause.

Campus sculpture breaks sunlight i~to color Jeanie Straub Copy Editor Sculptor Dale Eldred saw the columns in his "Light + Time Labyrinth" as "high-tech flowers." Eldred's wife, Roberta Lord, installed the sculpture in May in front of the North Classroom Building. The artwork blends color, physics, astronomical calculation and engineering. Seven 14-foot, 6-inch poles topped by plates of industrial-grade diffraction grating - glass that has been grooved so that sunlight shatters on impact into primary and secondary colors - stand in a semi-circle around a block of white marble. The glass plates cast prisms of color onto the marble. Time of day and time of year affect the intensity of the rainbows. Eldred planned that the 16-foot column topped by a huge gold-leafed circle - what he called a "light ring" - would link the light columns to more diffraction panels inside the North Classroom Building. The panels, set in the top row of windows, shoot rainbows of light along the building's entrance. In 1986, a panel of artists, architects

Eldred, artist and head of the sculpture department at the Kansas City Art Institute, died July 26, 1993, in Kansas City, Mo., after he fell while trying to save artworks threatened by flooding. Eldred's work included such notables as a light garden in Virginia Beach and a 60-foot diffraction panel on top of a building in Appleton, Wis. He moved from traditional sculpture materials to light as a medium after a trip to Egypt, during which a guide lighted the way into a small tomb in the Valley of the Queens by using only mirrors placed against stones set at different angles as the day passed.

Adventure not mute in this Aussie film Hutch Hucheson The Metropolitan

"The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert" is a far cry from "The Adventures of Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle," and it is precisely this distance that makes the foreign film such an aphrodisiac for art-house audiences. The film is a rambunctious romp across the forlorn Australian outback with three of the most unlikely tour guides: two tantalizing transvestites and a transsexual. Their outback tour shows us all the sights - and those that aren't in the travel brochure. Sites like a garishly painted hotel/pub, an underground mining town, an aboriginal corroboree, a mail-order bride and a long distance runner with a flashing light on her head. Although Terence Stamp has led the publicity campaign here in the United States, his worn-out performance of a dismally depressing transsexual (Bernadette) appears out of place in this film. The only reason he

-,.....,....-......,..,,,_.., was included was so the film would have a better chance of getting released overseas. Hugo Weaving and Guy Pearce's performances as the two transvestites outshine Stamp ' s character by miles. Their characters, particularly Weaving ' s Mitzi/Tick, are the focus . Wea_v ing won critical acclaim for his role as a blind person in " Pro.o f' and is perhaps one of hottest young actors in Australia today. Guy Pearce is a soap opera star down under, and his performance in this film illustrates his true potential. This film is director Stephen Elliot's second full-length feature Transvestites in the outback: All dressed up and film . Like Jane no place to go.

Campion, it appears that with only a few works under his belt he is headed for critical acclaim and possibly an Oscar. His first film, "Frauds," competed at Cannes in 1993. "Priscilla" won the Audience ' s Choice award at Cannes. At no time did the film attempt to excuse why the characters enjoy their sexual orientation or delight in being either somewhat or fully a member of the opposite gender. They are who they are . Why change them? Any attempt for them to go mainstream comes to an abrupt halt as they realize they are not members of the norm. But then again, what is the "norm?" This film will definitely not be a favorite of the Christian Coalition and/ or Colorado for Family Values, but nonetheless it is a good film. Don't see it if you want to discover some hidden meaning about the other side; no hidden meaning exists. It's a fun Saturday matinee film. Have fun, get some popcorn, relax, and join this terrible trio as they venture out into the unknown with frocks on their bodies and a disco hit on their lips.

LoDo BrewFest draws bevy of beer lovers Isaac Mion The Metropolitan Thirsty beer connoisseurs came from far and wide to sample some of Colorado's tastiest microbrewed beers Saturday and Sunday at the first ever Denver Post LoDo BrewFest. Those who paid the $5 cover and purchased wooden beer tokens were treated to a plethora of pilsners, an array of ales, a batch of bocks, and a load of luscious Jagers. "It was great - it toâ&#x20AC;˘Jldn't have gone more smoothly," said Anne Dagget, assistant coordinator for the gathering. "Everyone had a great time." Liquored-up lager-louts sipped on everything from fruit beers like Broadway Brewery's Raspberry Wheat to chile beers from Wynkoop Brewing Co. Some frolicked and danced like drunk hippies to bands like Sponge Kingdom, Honky Tonk Piano, Art Sullivan and a piano player named Percy "Make Sure You Pronounce the R" Jackson. Although most people had a good time, many had qualms about the price, especially latecomers who purchased tickets and were let in the gates only to find that brewers had supposedly run out of beer and weren't selling anymore. "Whadda ya mean you're not selling beer!" yelled one irate attendee. "I want my goddam money back!" "We just didn't know when we'd run out of beer, this being the first year of the festival and all," Dagget said. Dagget also said it wasn't that expensive compared to the $15 cover at the Great American Beer Festival, where drinkers get only 2-ounce shots of beer as opposed to $1 for 6 ounces, and $2 for 12 at the LoDo BrewFest. "It's like an overpriced keg party,"

"Thankth, I had a great time," he said Heather Ricketts, a 24-year-old One slightly schickered young sipper MSCD student. looked like he had been going at it since said as he stumbled off into the LoDo "It's too expensive, I can't read the 11:30 sharp.

Other brewers at the festival included Left I-land Brewing from Longmont, New Belgium from Fort Collins, Mountain Sun from Boulder and AnheuserBusch. Anheuser-Busch? you ask. Yes, both AnheuserBusch and Coors make a "microbrew-style" pilsner. "Finally Coors makes a beer that I can actually stand to drink," said one beer drinker whose slurred English accent suggested a long history of doing just that. "The microbrew business in America started out slow but now it's on an unstoppable pendular curve. America is finally catching up with British beers instead of just making more piss-water." Although an awful lot of good brew was con sumed, the 10 or so cops on hand had nothing to do but twiddle their thumbs. The same went for the ons i te medics who were there from 11:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. both days.

as little stress as possible. Any MSCD student who is taking 10 or more credit hours and has a job, financi a 1 aid or work study may apply . Veterans are also eligible. First-semester freshmen without financial aid and those taking fewer than nine credit hours are ineligible. Each student may receive up to $300 and must pay the money back within one month from the time of disbursement. "Like any lending institution, we use financial aid or a job as collateral so we know the student has the means to pay us back," Muenzberg said. No interest is charged unless the borrower misses the 30-day deadline. Checks are issued twice a week, so if you want a check by Wednesday afternoon, you must complete a loan applica-

tion no later than 1 p.m. Monday. Students can use loan money for rent, a car payment, to buy books or for any school-related emergency. If you do not pay it back, you will not be allowed to register for the following semester. Students interested in applying should go to Room 305-C in the Office of Student Activities on the third floor of the Tivoli Student Union. Muenzberg said the new location has many functions the old office did not: "With my new office comes computer access to the financial aid report of any student, so they don't have to stop at the financial aid office first. This will save the student time and energy, and makes my job much easier." If you have an off-campus job, you

need to bring written proof on letterhead stationary from your employer. The letter must state how many hours you work, the rate of pay and your supervisor's name and telephone number. Work study students need to bring the same information and must sign a payroll deduction form when completing the loan papers. Veterans must bring a letter of understanding from the MSCD Veteran's Affairs Office. All students must bring their student ID. The application process takes a halfhour or less, waiting excluded, if there is a line. Specific office hours are available from the secretary if Muenzberg is out. The last day to borrow money this semester is Nov. 9.

Inexperienced Roadrunners face difficult schedule Trevor Grimm The Metropolitan MSCD men ' s soccer coach Al Ashton doesn't know what to expect from this year's depleted squad. Thinking he would have a respectable nucleus of returning players, Ashton put together a schedule that could bring the Roadrunners national attention if they are successful. However, five players who were expected to return this year did not, and Ashton was left with just four returning players, and only two starters from last season. The players Ashton expected back who failed to show include Jeremy Loring, who was last year's best midfielder, Nat Cook, Vinnie Seymour, and Brett Ryals. Goalkeeper Andrew Mosier will not be back due to a job commitment.

The Metropolitan/Jane Raley Alumna Noelle Braunschweiger blocks a spike in Saturday's alumni game.

As a result, MSCD will field a young and inexperienced team this year, meaning their tough non-conference schedule could pose problems. "We have a tough schedule," Ashton said. "I wasn't counting on losing a couple of guys," Ashton said. He expected his team to gain some national recognition before he lost so many valuable team members. Non-conference games for MSCD include strong teams such as Cal StateLos Angeles, Cal State-Bakersfield, Westminster College (Salt Lake City) and West Texas State. In any case, the Roadrunners will have to go to battle with the players they have. The two returning starters from last year's squad are junior Wade Schaefer and senior Bill Kawamura. Both players are strikers and are expected to do the bulk of the team's scoring. "(Schaefer and Kawamura) will provide leadership and score goals for us,"

Ashton said. But perhaps the most important player for MSCD this year is midfielder Maher Kayali. Kayali is in his' first year in a MSCD uniform - after redshirting last season - following his transfer from Yavapi Junior College in Prescott, Ariz., where his team won a national championship. "We're counting on Kayali even more (than Schaefer and Kawamura), because he's a midfielder, and will be the playmaker," Ashton said. "I hope he'll lead the team in assists and score a few goals." Rounding out the returning players are Jose Manrique and Cullen Lyle. Both will play a more significant role with the low number of returning players. The Roadrunners start the season on Sept. 5 when they play the Air Force. The home opener is 4 p.m. Sept. 7 against Denver University.
