Jesse Stephenson Associate News Editor MSCD faculty are enraged over the proposed revisions of several sections in the Handbook for Professional Personnel.

The handbook serves as a guideline for professional conduct and outlines disciplinary procedures for faculty who violate rules. Revisions, if implemented, will serve as the conduct and disciplinary

guide for MSCD and its three affiliate state colleges.

But many faculty members charged in a Faculty Senate meeting Sept. 14 that the revisions limit freedom, are vaguely worded and create a disciplinary system that lacks due process.

"All of the big guns of the college are lined up against the faculty," said Susan Josepher, chairwoman of the Art department. "The faculty do not feel well represented."

Her colleagues are overwhelmingly against approval of the revisions by the Board of Trustees, she said.

According to Josepher, one section is an affront to academic freedom. It suggests that professors "do not intrude unrelated material into a course or fail to present the subject matter as announced to the students and approved by the college."

Latinos walk out for education Louis A. Landa News Editor

r

;

About 1,000 Latino students from Denver Public Schools converged on the Auraria Campus Sept. 16 for what organizers called a "Walkout for Educational Equality."

The purpose of the walkout was to protest unfair treatment of Latino students

by DPS and to promote a seven-part plan by the Latino Educational Coalition. The coalition consists of 19 groups working to improve education for Latino students in Denver.

The primary intent of the walk was to focus on the plan and how it will improve situations for Latino students, according to organizers.

"Even before the march, this was successful. Our entire intent was to draw attention to the situation in Denver Public Schools," said Pierre Jimenez. Jimenez is co-chairman of Community Action Committee for the coalition.

Jimenez did not give much significance to the number of students participating in the walkout. He said the coalition made its point regardless of the numbers participating. He said some middle schools were locking doors to prevent student participation.

Jimenez praised the cooperation of MSCD and Auraria Campus officials who helped with the rally.

"The (Auraria) Campus has truly been an institute of higher education," he said.

Organizers chose Auraria as a jumping-off point for their march on the Capitol.

"Students are intimidated in the classroom, even here at Metro State," said Maria Corral, president of Movimiento Estudiantial Chicano de Aztlan. "Students are dropping out at the same rate that they were dropping out 25 years ago when they held the same walkout at the West High

The Metropolitan/Louis A. Landa

Nick Vigil urges West High School students to join the Latino Education Coalition walkout. Approximately 200 students answered his call.

(School) blowouts." Corral was referring to the 1969 protests that saw Latino students walkout in protest similar to the recent event. "(Latino students) have the same complaints. Racist teachers making racial slurs that hurt us and our culture. This is still happening," Corral said to cheers from the crowd.

Corral invited DPS representatives to participate in a forum hosted by MEChA and MSCD Community Outreach. The forum would establish a dialogue for better educational performance by Latino students.

One of the primary complaints voiced at the rally was the predominance of a Eurocentric curriculum in schools. "(The) history of the United States did not begin with the coming of the whites," Raphael Tapia said. Tapia was an MSCD history major but is not currently enrolled. "A lot of people will say this is a

racist rally. I'm telling you this will benefit everybody. I'm saying it is an injustice to teach white children from a Eurocentric perspective."

Tapia encouraged students to demand the type of education they desire and take responsibility for their education.

This sentiment was repeated by many walkout participants.

"Nobody got out there and educated me academically,'' said Nick Vigil, a walkout organizer. Vigil said he received a political education and that helped him to understand the importance of taking charge of his education. He said he hopes students will take a similar understanding from the protest. He credits MEChA for helping him get his GED and associate's degree.

Vigil was the coalition organizer for students walking out from West High School. Some students began congregating across the street from West High

School at about 8 a.m. The chant "walkout, walkout" called to the students inside.

At 9 a.m. students began trickling out the side doors of the school. Students said some doors were locked and student athletes would not have been allowed to participate in weekend games if they walked out.

Students walked out for a variety of reasons.

Maria Gaytan, a senior at West, said she walked out for a better education. She hoped the walkout would help, and¡ she was serious about improving her education.

Other students looked at the walkout as a means to an end.

"I think this is the only way people will listen to us," said David Acosta, a junior at Thomas Jefferson High School.

"I don 't think the protest will make a difference, but it will draw light to the problem and I think that will lead to something being done."

From campus, the protest moved down Speer Boulevard and across Colfax Avenue to the Capitol.

Coalition co-chairwoman Nita Gonzales said Latino students are subjected to mental and spiritual demoralization.

"I am committed to go on a liquid fast until the school board implements our seven goals and gives us time lines for that implementation," Gonzales said to the crowd, which had grown to 1,500 on the west steps of the Capitol. "Nothing is worse than the hunger of the mind and the spirit." She asked that others join her in her fast.

Gov . Roy Romer addressed the crowd and said he supported the seven goals of the coalition. He said he supports the coalition's push for a better educational system.

"Education is the key to a good job," he said. "It is important to a good life."

Student government defends 'perks' Jesse Stephenson Associate News Editor Free parking, a $200 monthly salary and a catered spring banquet are some of the benefits members of the Student Government Assembly receive as part of the SGA budget for this year.

SGA president Megan Reyes said the parking passes and other "perks" were included in the $68,333 budget to improve SGA morale and boost productivity.

"My reasoning was that providing parking will make it much easier for SGA members to do their work," she said.

Reyes said free parking passes are given to SGA members to lessen the cost of coming to campus several times a week for SGA functions.

Amy Haimerl, SGA vice president of administration and finance, said she needs the parking pass.

"I use it because I am on campus

every day and I have meetings every night."

"It's kind of a privilege," said Kersten Keith, SACAB representative and SGA office manager. "If one of the (SGA) members isn't coming to meetings or failing in their responsibilities, then the parking pass can be revoked."

Other benefits such as the monthly salary, a $1,500 spring banquet and $500 fall reception were approved for the SGA budget after an inquiry into the benefits of student government members at other colleges was conducted.

"We did a lot of investigation into other schools," Reyes said, noting that some schools, including the University of Northern Colorado, waive tuition for those who serve as members of student government.

Although Haimerl and other SOA members said the parking passes and additional benefits are a necessity, many students say it's not fair that SGA members get special privileges.

"It might be different if 86 percent of Metro's student population voted for them, but since only 90-some-odd people think SGA is important, they really don't have the right to be giving themselves free parking," said Chris Baur, an MSCD treshman.

Jeffie Kopp, a senior at MSCD, said the passes are unnecessary. "Parking really racks up for me. I can understand if they have an important meeting or something, but not every day," she said.

"Teachers and students should have the same rights as Student Government we're shelling out a fortune for parking."

While many students react negatively to the SGA privileges, others say it's part of the package.

"They were elected to those positions," MSCD student Corbin Elliot said.

"Anyone who applied for Student Government could get free parking. Do you think it's bad that the president has his own plane? - it's no different."

Reyes said she sees an increase in

enthusiasm and participation from SGA members that she attributes, in part, to the monthly salary and parking passes.

"I think that is probably the main reason we've seen a change," she said.

"You don't do stuff for free in life," she said. "I've put more time in pro bona - and more heartache - than I'd like to admit."

While former Student Government President Tom Mestnik received a $500 monthly stipend, Student Government senators were unpaid and did not get parking privileges during his presidency.

Reyes said this lack of compensation damaged morale.

According to Reyes, the new compensation policy is fairer to those who do the brunt of the work.

"We wanted to make it much more egalitarian," she said.

Light rail, auto collide Louis A. Landa News Editor The driver of a car that collided with an RTD light rail train Wednesday was taken to Denver General Hospital for what police called a routine checkup.

The collision occurred at about 8 a.m. at Colfax Avenue and 9th Street when the driver, MSCD student Marilyn Johnson, attempted to tum her white '92 Nissan Maxima north onto 9th Street.

The train hit the car on the right rear side, causing extensive damage to the rear door and shattering the window. The train sustained minor damage to the forward coupling.

Johnson turned into the path of the oncoming train, according to Denver Police officer Ray Pitt. He said she would be cited because the train had the right of way, and Johnson did not adhere to the "no right turn" signal illuminated

at the time.

Pitt said Johnson did not seem to be hurt. "She was more shook-up than anything else," he said.

An emergency room attendant at DOH said X-rays were taken of Johnson.

DGH officials said she was released later that morning.

"During the testing period I think it's inevitable," said Andrew Hudson, spokesman for RTD, referring to accidents between automobiles and trains.

"We are doing everything possible for motorists and pedestrians, but it's going to take cooperation." He said it is important that everyone pay close attention to the situation around the tracks.

Officer Pitt watched the car being loaded on the tow truck and shook his head as he said, "I'm just waiting for one of these calls to involve one of these kids around here."

Overdue blues Bob Cobb The Metropolitan Students and faculty who ignore their overdue fines from the Auraria Library may be in for a rude awakening.

In the past, the library's policy was to ban the offender from checking out any materials until the fine was paid.

However, with the passage of Senate Bill140 in June 1991, the library is now forced by law to collect fines in a more aggressive manner.

Jon Goldstein, manager of Central Collections for the State of Colorado, said the state will use whatever means necessary to collect the debts. In the last year and a half, almost $24,000 in overdue book fines have been collected.

"We keep (the debts) on our system for three years," Goldstein said. "And if it comes down to it, we will sue if necessary."

However, offenders will have many chances to make amends before it gets to the point of a lawsuit.

According to Sandi Dedrick, financial services manager for Auraria Higher Education Center, students will have many opportunities to pay the fines.

Borrowers are encourage.d to look everywhere possible for the book, but even if 'borrowers can' t locate it, they should not ignore the notices.

"At least 80 percent of the people have the books," Dedrick said. "If people are afraid, or don't get in touch within 30 days, we have to send it onto collections."

Although the state collections department will take any means necessary to recover the fee, collection officials say they, like Dedrick's office, will be as reasonable as possible.

"A lot of debtors pay in full after the first notice," Goldstein safi. " If they can't afford it at the time, they 'should at least call and discuss when they can pay in full .

We'll take payment arrangements."

Debtors who fail to contact Goldstein's office face some stiff penalties, including ruined credit or having their fines deducted from state income tax refunds .

"If it isn't paid in full within 30 days, we send it out to TRW (a credit reporting agency)," Goldstein said. "And if it isn't paid within 90 days, we will send it out to a private collection agency."

The $24,000 collected so far indicates the system is working, he said.

"That's a lot of money when you consider that these are little overdue book fines," he said.

Here's how it works: The night that the book is overdue, CARL automatically prints up a late notice that is mailed to the borrower.

That notice will place the book in "lost status" for 28 days, after which a bill, $60 in most cases ($10 for paperwork and $50 to replace the book), will be sent to the borrower.

If the borrower believes that the book was returned, they can request that library personnel search for the book again in the library.

If the book is still not found, the search request goes to Dedrick's office where she will search for the book another four to six times.

Then Dedrick's office will send a notice asking the borrower to settle the account within 10 days, after which a final notice will be sent.

The account will then go to the state for collection.

Program to boost ranks of minority teachers Jesse Stephenson Associate News Editor In an attempt to increase the number of minority teachers in regional classrooms, MSCD has launched an aggressive campaign designed to recruit and retain high school graduates seeking a degree in education.

The Teachers For Colorado Program, which targets seniors enrolled in four Denver and Jefferson County high schools, offers big incentives for completing the four-year teacher education curriculum at MSCD. The program is a joint effort between MSCD and public high school administrators to boost the number of minority students in the pipeline to become public schoolteachers.

Bill Rader, dean of professional studies, said the program will cost the college relatively little money but may increase the number of minority education majors who graduate. The national retention rate for this group of students is about 50 percent. MSCD administrators want to beat the national average.

"We actually are very comfortable with 80 percent," Rader said.

As incentive to stick with the program, students receive four years paid tuition, including books and access to tutors and counselors on demand. They are guaranteed an interview at a public school after graduation and may receive free MSCD counseling services during their first year of employment.

"That's part of the carrot we're offering," Rader said.

According to Rader additional motivation to complete the program will come from peer support. Students in the program will attend classes in groups during all four years of college.

Although Teachers for Colorado will enroll 90-120 students per year, a pilot group of 48 freshmen have been selected to participate this fall.

The pilot group will be observed to help determine how the program should be adjusted to further ensure retention of the participants, Rader said.

Ed Low, an MSCD English professor who currently

J

teaches half of this year's pilot program, said that for the most part the students are working effectively as a group.

"They ' re really enjoying college," he said.

George Johnson, 20, a graduate of South High and participant in Teachers for Colorado, said college professors are more stringent than high school teachers.

"Here they don't take any crap," he said. , Although Johnson said his classes are moving at a slower pace then he'd like, he is optimistic about the number of his peers who will graduate.

"I think that the whole class will make it," he said. " It's going to be tough for some and a breeze for others."

This year, scholarships and grants covered tuition cost the college, Rader said most of the funding for the for all members of the pilot group. participants' tuition and books will come from outside Rader said he expects to expand the program to the scholarships and grants.

The financial aid department will seek money from school of professional studies if it successfully increases the private sector on behalf of the minority education the number of minority graduates.

Kaplan: No cause for panic Three ways to beat the high cost of college.

1. The Montgomery GI Bill i. Student loan repayment 3. Part-time income The Army Reserve Alternate Training Prpgram is a smart way to pay for college.

First, ifyou qualify, the Montgomery GI Bill can provide you with up to $6,840 for current college expenses or approved vo/tech training.

Second, if you have-or obtain-a qualified student loan not in default, you may getit paid off at the rate of 15% per year or $500, whichever is greater, up to a maximum of $10,000. Selected military skills can double that maximum.

Third, you can earn part-time money in college, and here's how it works: One summer you take Basic Training, and the next summer you receive skill training at an Army school. You'll earn over $1,500 for Basic and even more for skill training. Then you'll attend monthly meetings at an Army Reserve unit near your college, usually one weekend a month plus two weeks a year. You'll be paid over$105a weekend to start. It's worth thinking about. Give usa call:

While sitting in front of the Mercantile restaurant waiting for a friend, CCD freshman Kevin Dedeaux almost became a victim of a window that fell out of the second story of the Mercantile at about 12:20 p.m.

No one is sure why it happened.

"I thought I was going to study," Dedeaux said. "I was sitting there (and) heard a crack - it didn't even fall all the way but something told me to move."

As Dedeaux scurried out of the way, the window landed precisely where he had been sitting.

Dedeaux's friend, MSCD freshman Eric Truesdale, had gone in to get something to eat.

"I was waiting for him, and the next thing I know I have glass and stuff trying to get me," Dedeaux said.

MSCD freshman Joseph Lilli, a witness who was sitting just behind Dedeaux, was shaken as well. Dedeaux had jumped back toward him.

"I'm glad it didn't hit you, then I would have had to do something," Lilli said.

There was speculation that someone inside may have tried to open the inside pane, jarring the outside window loose, but a witness said no one was near the window when it fell.

MSCD junior Hikmat Alzughabi, who was sitting at a second-floor table near the window, said it fell for no apparent reason.

"I was sitting here and it just fell," Alzughabi said. "It was really weird. I heard the sound and that's all."

Now that the dreaded walkout involving students from Denver's Latino community is over, we can take a look at it to determine what it accomplished.

Absolutely nothing.

The principals of West, North and Abraham Lincoln high schools could not seem to get together on this.

Neither could educators. Neither could students. The most vocal and most clueless group of all, enraged parents, were able to synchronize their jerking knees long enough to look for examples of racism, bias and inequity regarding the way their children are taught - or not taught - in Denver Public Schools.

And of course, all of these things do exist in our schools. But to say that no progress has been made in 25 years? Or that Latino students are the victims of a plan to systematically deprive them of the right to an education? To encourage students to leave the classroom in order to call attention to their plight? Or to wave signs advertising "my kids still can't read or write?"

Give me a break.

If every single Latino student in the city had seen this protest as the end-all of their high school careers, and the only way to ensure that they are given the chance to learn, and if they had all joined the protest, then maybe.

But they didn't. Most of them have realized that a better way to further their education is to show up for class, open a book once in a while,

and to take responsibility for their own education, instead of blaming others.

Like the teachers. We already know that teachers are an underworked, overpaid bunch. But does it really seem likely that teachers deliberately maintain an anti-Latino bias?

Or that DPS practices systematic discrimination? I doubt it.

The walkout was ineffective because only two groups really participated in it - the Latino activists who do see a problem and think that a boycott is the way to solve it, and the students who wanted a day off from school.

I was encouraged by the young women I saw waving the Mexican flag and marching in solidarity - their pride was evident. But what about the saggy-pants gang-bangers who welcomed the opportunity for more time to get in trouble?

For most of the last decade, I've lived within a few blocks of El Taco De Mexico at Seventh Avenue and Santa Fe Drive. I know this neighborhood, and I've seen it change - for better and for worse. I care about this area.

I've made it my home, though many classmates and friends think I'm crazy to do so. So it's from that perspective that I say the problems Latinos have with school is a family/cultural failing, not that of the school system.

Of course, just saying that makes me a racist, I suppose. But I've lived in this area south of Auraria Campus for long enough to have a clue. And I don't think it's a difficult concept to

stratton grasp, that if you aren't instilled with a desire to learn, a desire to go to school, and a desire to educate yourself, you 'll flounder in school.

Teachers can't force kids to learn.

They cannot take on the role of parents. That's what families are for.

But families work, and families aren't always mom, dad and a twocar garage. But the desire to become educated is learned. It has to come from parents. The school is not a surrogate for the home. It can't be.

My 15-year-old nephew is attending West High School. As his legal guardian, do I depend on his teachers alone to instill in him the desire to want to go to school? Or should I make an effort to find out how he's doing? When he watches too much Beavis and Butt-head should I blame his teachers for not making him more interested in his assignments, or do I get off my ass and turn it off? It's that simple.

The idea behind the walkout was flawed. Parents, as well as teachers, are responsible for their children's education. The notion that Latino kids are deprived the right to learn by their racist educators is bullshit. And the execution of the walkout was flawed, too. Some kids actually wanted to go to school and learn that day. Why leave school to show that education doesn't work? Not everyone supported the protest, including many Latino leaders, educators, ancf ~tudents.

And aren't the students the ones who matter most? Mom? Dad?

Religion, civilization and the a guest editorial by Seymour Weinberg historical process Is religion necessary for the growth and development of civilization? The answer from history is a resounding "yes."

Consider the educative and transforming power of the founders of the world religions, such as Moses, Buddha, Jesus and Muhammed and the civilizations that arose as a direct result of their influence and teachings.

Conversely, whenever the reality of religion was obscured by dogmas and erroneous human interpretations, and the outer forms of religion were blindly followed, man's lower nature came to the fore, the barbaric forces of life made their appearance and civiliza-

tion declined either gradually or precipitously.

The interaction between religion and civilization indicates that history may best be understood as a spiritual process. In the words of the German philosopher Hegel, "God governs the world .... The carrying out of his plan is the history of the world."

In contrast to Hegel, Karl Marx theorized that history is essentially a materialistic process whose successive stages can be explained by the class struggle and that the values and social patterns of a society are determined primarily by economic factors.

With respect to these two con-

trasting philosophies of history, who is right, Hegel or Marx? There are two relatively new categories of historical evidence that strongly support Hegel's characterization of history as the carrying out of the plan of God. In the first category are the historical events associated with both the dispersion and the return of the Jews to the Holy Land. What perspective can be derived from a review of this vast historical process covering more than 2,500 years other than that the destiny of the Jewish people is in the hands of a higher power. And if Jewish history is a manifestation of the plan of God, so is the history of

Does religion have a place in society's future?

humanity as a whole.

As the late author Pierre Van Paassan pointed out, "There are two great prophecies in the Old Testament.

One deals with the return of the Jews to the Holy Land, and the other with the establishment of world peace. The fact that the prophecies dealing with the return of the Jews to the Holy Land have been fulfilled gives us the assurance that those dealing with world peace will also be realized."

The second category of evidence supporting the Hegelian world view involves the convergence of two historical processes: one associated with the world's accelerating material progress and the other with the evolution of world religion. On one hand, new inventions and the application of the scientific knowledge of the past 150 years or so has resulted in the transformation of the

environment in which we live and the technological and economic unification of the world. On the other hand, in the same time period of the last 150 years, the historical pattern of world religion that of Messianic expectancy, the appearance of the promised teacher, his claim to being the voice of God, the revelation of Holy Scripture, and the eventual triumph of his cause despite overwhelming opposition and persecution reoccurred with the birth and spread of the Baha'i faith throughout the world.

It is most improbable that the emergence of a technologically and economically united world synchronizing with the birth and spread of a new world religion, whose teachings meet the requirements of that world and whose founder was imprisoned by the Sultan of Turkey in the Holy Land, is mere historical coincidence. The Baha'i faith affirms the one-

The Changing Face of Elvis II last week, I began examining religious change in order to prepare you for the schism that's developed in Elvis worship. Before revealing it, however, I need to pontificate on religious schisms in the West. For Presleyterianism can only be understood in its larger historical context, as the culmination of a long Western tradition of monotheistic wor~ ship.

You have to start with Judaism.

It's been around forever, for one thing. Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, was celebrated recently. The Jewish calendar is at 5, 755 and counting - that's halfway to the last ice age for you geology majors.

Christianity may be a mighty tributary, but if you're looking for the headwaters, Judaism is the fork to follow.

Jesus himself was a devout Jew his last supper was a Passover Seder.

He was known in his time as a great rabbi, or teacher. You could make a case that Islam flows from Judaism, too. Many Old Testament figures are recognized by Moslems as prophets of Allah, including

Adam, Noah, Abraham and Moses. I won't delve into Islamic theology, however, since Salman Rushdie is not my idea of the ideal roommate.

The point is this: For much of the world, religion starts with the Jews, who first appeared during the foggy beginnings of recorded history.

And everything was groovy for the longest time, too. Abraham's vision of one God was as earth-shaking as Buddha's enlightenment. Abe left the idol-making shop in Mesopotamia and went out to change the world. He begat a son, Isaac, who went into the family business, who begat Jacob, who also did well.

The schism in Judaism comes when this guy in Galilee leaves the carpentry shop, a few thousand years after Abe left the idol shop. (Why are religious founders in the West always leaving shops?) Jesus impresses people with his style. He has more charisma than JFK. He dies a dramatic death and becomes a legend. The legend is kept alive by his followers, as tireless a group

ness of humanity, the basic unity of the world religions, the harmony of religion and science, equal rights for men and women, and emphasizes that it has the capacity to provide the spiritual foundation for the future world civilization, and to eliminate the racial, religious, ethnic and national prejudices that have been responsible for so much suffering in the world.

It should also be mentioned that in several passages, Baha'u'llah, the founder of the Baha'i faith, warned that if the world's immersion in materialism and its consequent forgetfulness of God is not remedied, humanity will experience increasingly more severe trials and tribulations.

A discussion of religion, civilization and the processes of history would not be complete unless reference is made to Professor Arnold J_ Toynbee and his

Actually, I spent much of my first year and a half at MSCD in the student bar. Lannie Garrett used to play the Rat, our pet name for the Rathskellar, most recently The Mission. I bought my brother his first-ever pitcher of beer there when he turned 18. I bet few reading this can remember when 3.2 beer was allowed when you reached the mature stage of adolescence which is 18 years old. Y'all can thank the government of our pluralistic nation for the change.

There was just something about all those teenagers driving drunk that made the Highway Department (a division of the Department of Transportation which our formerly esteemed mayor, Federico Pena, now heads) threaten the states with loss of income to maintain sup~r-颅 structure unless the drinking age was raised. It used to be: Old ~nough to vote and die for our country, Old enough to

by The Rev. Mort Farndu First Presleyterian Church of Elvis the Divine of PR people as any god or politician could ever hope for.

Christianity remains an odd sect of Judaism for a while, but the schism is clear. After his death, Jesus is relegated in Jewish theology to the scrap heap of false messiahs, of which there have been many in 5,000 years. To this day, Christiansl'are expecting an encore from the messiah, while the Jews are still waiting for the debut. Which is OK, since they're a patient people.

In the fourth century, the schism becomes official when Christians score the mother-of-all-PR-coups: Constantine I, the Emperor of Rome, converts to the faith.

Christianity has become a state religion.

But success has its pitfalls. Like Buddhism, the religion gets diluted as it spreads. Doctrine is interpreted by theologians over the centuries and translated into different languages. All kinds of pesky sects appear, each accusing the other of heresy, beginning a fine Christian tradition. The Roman Catholic

Church has to contend with an Eastern Orthodox Church, Coptic and Armenian churches ...

The culmination of all this bickering occurs 1,500 years after Jesus. Martin Luther nails his 95 theses to the door of a church in Germany. Protestants and Catholics spend the next few centuries slaughtering each other all over Europe in the name of Christ. (It continues today in Northern Ireland.) When the dust settles, we have two major religions carrying the banner of Christianity.

But why stop there?

Protestants turn out to be the most contentious religion of all time. (The very name is an incitement to riot.) Who can number the sects today? They are as the stars in the firmament, denominations without end, amen.

Given the fractured history of religion in the West, then, it's not surprising that the worship of Elvis - clearly the pinnacle of 5,000 years of Western monotheistic tradition - should also be torn by division.

a guest editorial by Jean 'Mama Mariani' Sear

The good old days Hello, fellow campusites. I know you are all waiting with worms on your tongues (baited breath} to hear about the transition phase of our fair campus. I started life here in 1977, when many of you freshman-types were still nursing, unsocialized creatures with hideous manners who urped on friends and strangers alike. Yuck!

We had no First Year Program, which I understand is almost required now, so we newbies were set adrift with no idea what to do. Registration was an in-person kind-of-affair that taxed patience beyond limits on both sides of the counter in the Administration Building. When I returned in 1992, 11 years, two marriages, two divorces and one child after my first degree, I was delighted to find telephone registration so highly developed and relatively userfriendly.

exposition of the causes of the rise and fall of past civilizations and what most likely will be the future of modern civilization. With respect to religion, Toynbee characterized it as "a faculty of human nature," and on the basis of a comparative historical projection suggested that the Baha'i faith may serve the cause of civilization in the modern era in the same way that Christianity provided for the continuance of civilization during and after the decline and fall of Rome.

drink. Ah, the good old days!

We used to sneak out the back door onto the patio and blow marijuana smoke rings in the air when we thought we could get away with it. Obviously we did all right in that respect: I'm still here to tell the tale. I found an old junior high friend behind the counter of the bar, so all my beer and popcorn was free. My first taste of freedom was actually a Bud Dark draft.

At night, after the Rat closed, we would take a keg or so, and go over to the Tivoli, which was in disreputable shape in those halcyon days. We used to hang out in the old boilers and drink the keg and smoke more marijuana. I had just learned how to get high so I spent lots of time perfecting my new skill. It comes as no surprise to anyone reading this that I spent my first year on academic probation, does it?

We used to dream about the time when the Tivoli would be renovated into stores or academic offices. I even remember how our teams got the name "Roadrunners." We had to run like hell to get across Larimer Street from the parking lots and across Lawrence Street from the bus stop. Ergo, Roadrunners.

I know there are festivals of all kinds now, some of which use our space to slop over to when needed (remember World Youth Day?), but in the '70s and early '80s we had NIOD, Night in Old Denver. It was across the street from the old Student Union, now The Plaza Building, in the parking lot. People wore old costumes and erected facades from boomtown days. Part of that got translated into Taste of Colorado and the rest disappeared into Oktoberfest. Basta!

Enough already! Any more nostalgia and I'll need a shot! Don't forget to write!

Dances with bugs Kevin Juhasz The Metropolitan In 1911, D.R. Lucy built a theatre near 37th and Navajo streets in Denver. The theatre has gone by many different names, but in the '40s it was nicknamed "The Bug" by local children who said that bugs would eat candy right off the floor.

The theatre is now officially The Bug and has become much more than a theatre.

Hugh Graham, president of the board of The Bug, describes the theatre as "a venue for performance and media artists that don't have any other venue in town."

The theatre, which seats 150 people, was reopened in March 1994. The theatre had been closed since the early '60s and needed extensive

"We're looking for stuff that will be unique to us," Graham said.

The Bug is also looking to create a dialogue between local and national art communities. It will then be possible for artists in Denver to show their work in other cities across the country. It will also allow artists from other cities a place in Denver to show their work.

The Bug is a non-profit organization that relies heavily on volunteers and members.

"Membership is a vital contingent to the growth of the theatre," Graham said. "We are very grateful to our members and volunteers."

A variety of memberships are available.

When you purchase a membership, not only are you helping The Bug, but you also receive discounts to selected shows and the privilege to vote for the board in the annual members' meeting. The Bug will also mail you a schedule of upcoming events.

Some things to look forward to from The Bug are: • On Sept. 23 you can catch Slim Cessna's Auto Club, which The Bug bills as

"style humor and musical innovation rolled into one sophisticated package."

• The 1928 film ''The Passion of Joan of Arc," directed by Carl Dryer, will show at 7 p.m. Sept. 25.

• "Films from the Bay Area," a short film curated by Betsy Weiss, will show on Sept 30 and Oct. 1.

• "Dark Dreamers," which is a showing of local horror films curated by Robert David, will run Oct. 6-7.

"We really try to get in a good variety of

banned books for this week just as an awarenes5, so peq>le can look at them and say, 'God, why was that banned?"' said Bobbi Rubingh, who ooordinates special events for ABC

Arizona censors wanted ''The Complete Fairy Tales of Brothers Grimm" removed from the hbrary in 1993 because of "excessive violence, negative portrayals of female dlaracters and anti-

Some of the choices of books that have been challenged or banned are surprising. · In 1993, "Where's WalOO?'' wa5 banned in F.ast Hamfton, N.Y., because in one of the small pictures, a woman oo a crowded beach is drawn lying face OOwn, wearing only a bikini bottom The Bible has a history of being banned. In 1993, hbraries in Alaska and Pmmylvania cballenged it as "ohicene and pornographic" and rontaining ''language and stories inapprqxiate to drilchen.''

Semitic references." ''I resent the implication that I'm not quite bright enoogh to read something and know when it's symbolic, or san::a5lic; or when there's irony involved," said Eric ~ general book buyer and director for AOC ''I'm not gonna run out and slart abusing people one way or another because of something I read, and I doubt very strongly that many peqie woold do that" Rubingh said most bans are imposed by groups of pirents that oonvene when they don't

like what's being offered in their children's schools and libraries. Book banning infringes 00 First Amendment rights.

Banned Books Week is spoosored by many associations of booksellers, journalists and publishers, and is endorsed by the Library of Congt"e$

The event is intended to show that freecbn of choice and the freedom to e~ qJinioo even if it is Wlpq)Ular or unusual-are importmt.

The horror!!!

Womens national ranking plummets from 6 to 15 after winless tournament Michael BeDan Sports Editor The women's volleyball team hit rock bottom Sept. 17 when it completed the Colorado Challenge Tournament with a baffling five-game loss to Portland State.

MSCD collapsed after building a two games to none lead and jumping out to a 10-2 lead in game three. ''They really choked at the end," MSCD coach Rhonda Williams said of the Joss. "That is what really disappointed me."

The Roadrunners appeared to be in command of game three and well on their way to securing a victory to avoid being swept in the tourney. Then it happened.

PSU scored 13 of the next 16 points and stunned MSCD by forcing a fourth game.

PSU coach Cathy Nelson challenged her squad between games three and four.

"Hit everything, go for everything," she said. " We are going to win this game."

Nelson was prophetic as her Vikings won game four 15-11. Momentum was clearly with PSU as Nelson fired up her squad before game five.

"Let's jump right on them," she said.

"A 5-0 lead would be awesome, we have earned the right to win this match."

MSCD's huddle wasn't quite as positive as Williams tried to awaken her team.

"Come on, I'm looking at a bunch of dead eyes," she told them. "Play like you want it. Play like you want to win."

Nothing could slow down the Vikings in game five as they quickly disposed of the Roadrunners 15-11 in the rally scoring format used in the deciding game. Rally scoring awards a point for an offensive or defensive kill, opposed to the side-out format of the first four games when only the serving team C!ln score.

"I hate that," Williams said of the rally format. "It is almost impossible to come back when you are down 13or14 to 10-you have to play perfect."

The five game box score shows MSCD losing 15-9, 19-17, 13-15, 11-15 and 11-15, but the blank expressions on the faces of the dejected Roadrunners told

The Metropolitan/Jane Raley

Kathleen Bond, left, and Chelsea Terrell combine to make a block Sept. 17 in MSCD's loss against Northern Michigan.

The Roadrunners' next home date is Oct. 7 versus Air Force. the real story.

"Everyone let everyone down," senior middle blocker Crissy Canada said.

"One loss after another - it gets tiring.

We should have won in the third game."

Canada shared the blame for the loss even though she finished the match with 20 kills and a .340 attack percentage.

"I think everyone needs to get their priorities straight and decide what we want to do," Canada added. "We have to start now if we have any hopes of going to Nationals. " The PSU game was one final slap in

the face to the Roadrunners, who began the tourney as the nation's sixth ranked team.

MSCD opened tournament play and Colorado Athletic Conference play Sept.

14 at Regis. The Rangers were the lowest ranked team in the field of five top 20 teams. Ranked 14, Regis jumped out to a 2-zip lead, winning 15-8 and 15-8. The Roadrunners fought back and evened the score with 15-12 and 15-9 victories in games three and four. Game five proved to be both dramatic and strange.

MSCD fought to what Williams

thought was a 9-8 lead in game five but the scoreboard read 11-8 in favor of the Roadrunners. A timeout was called, and in a 10-minute break filled with confusion the scoreboard was changed to 8-8. The teams battled to 14-14 before Regis scored consecutive points and won on a tipped ball that fooled MSCD blockers.

"I hated to lose like that," Williams said. "The scoring thing stopped the momentum we had gained by winning two straight games, but what can you do?"

Williams noted that game film proved the score was indeed 8-8, but said that the 10-minute break took away the edge the Roadrunners had gained in coming back from two games down.

On Sept. 16 the big guns arrived in Denver and the rest of the tournament was just as disappointing as the beginning and the end for MSCD. The Roadrunners were spanked 15-6, 15-8, and 15-5 by the Cal State Bakersfield Roadrunners.

"I think everyone tried too hard," senior outside hitter Chelsea Terrell said of the loss. "We just need to find our niche, talk is cheap."

Saturday morning the Roadrunners came out strong, jumping out to a 4-0 lead against top ranked Northern Michigan. As if to preview things to come, MSCD was beaten 15-9 in the first game and proceeded to lose an 8-0 lead in game two dropping that one 15-11. The Roadrunners pulled out game three 16-14 before losing the match 15-11 in game four.

"I'm happier with the way the team played today," TerreU said of the loss.

"We have a lot of young people who make rookie mistakes and I just have to keep thinking that we will get better."

Things did not get better and MSCD lost the PSU match that evening and finished the Colorado Challenge a miserable 0-4, putting them in last place.

Coach Williams said the team still can salvage the season and she expects the Roadrunners to bounce back. " We are going to move forward," Williams said. "No one is going to give up and I think we learned a lot (last) weekend."

Michael BeDan Sports Editor Winning has become second nature for the women 's soccer team.

The only questions are: How many goals will the Roadrunners score? And who will have the stellar individual stats in that particular match?

In matches Sept. 14, 16 and 18, the Roadrunners scored 13 goals and freshman midfielder Shannon Wise exploded in the Sept. 16 match against Fort Lewis, scoring 4 goals. She added an assist Sept. 18 against Southern Colorado and earned Colorado Athletic Conference Player of the Week honors for her remarkable performance.

"I've been trying to score goals all year," Wise said. "Then I come into a game and every time it touches my foot, I score a goal. I was in the right place at the right time."

MSCD remained undefeated (6-0) and is ranked third in the Adidas/ISAA NCAA Division II Women's Soccer Top 20.

The Roadrunners defeated Colorado Christian 2-1 Sept. 14 in the closest match of the young season. CCU was the first team this season to score against MSCD. It was also the lowest output of goals for the highoctane Roadrunners who average 4.8 goals per match.

On Sept. 16 MSCD managed a 2-0 lead at halftime against Fort Lewis, but were scored on for the second straight game early in the second half. Heather Stein scored from 25 yards out off a Kristin Burke pass, stunning the Roadrunners momentarily.

Then MSCD Wised up . Shannon Wise scored four straight Roadrunner goals off of two Rosie Durbin assists and two assists from Chrissy McCain.

"The team unity is so great out here," Wise said. "We are so mentally into the game and so goal-hungry."

Hungry is an understatement. MSCD leads the CAC with 29 team goals, Regis is a distant second with 17.

Though Durbin (10) and Wise (7) lead the Roadrunners, eight other players have scored goals for the team.

On Sept. 18, the Roadrunners blanked USC 5-0 just eight days after its initial 6-0 victory over the Indians in the CAC opener.

"We are playing great defense," Wise said. "Our goalies are just awesome."

In the USC match, MSCD's diversified offense was in full bloom as five different Roadrunners scored goals, including sophomore Deborah Sapashe, who dribbled through the Indian defense and scored an unassisted goal, her first of the season.

Melissa Villani (2), Jamie Morgan (2), Rosie Durbin (10), and Jill Vollmuth (3) all scored goals with Jessa Montoya and Shannon Wise adding assists.

The team took its show on the road Sept. 21 against Regis.

"Regis will probably be our toughest competition," Jessa Montoya said. "It will be a real test for us."

The Regis match was suspended in the first half due to weather. The score was 1-1.

Full coverage will appear in next week's issue.

The Metropolitan After a slow start to the season, the MSCD men's soccer team thought a weekend in California might be the answer to their problems.

But playing two nationally ranked, undefeated teams doesn't produce many wins, as the Roadrunners found out the hard way. MSCD lost 6-0 to Cal State L.A. on Monday, and 3-0 to Cal State Bakersfield Friday, dropping to 1-5 on the season.

Despite the losses, MSCD coach Al Ashton found some positives on the weekend.

"I think it will bring the team together. Getting out on the road is good for us," he said. "We had a good weekend_ we just came up short on the soccer end."

In Monday's game against eighthranked Cal State L.A., the Golden Eagles (6-0-1) were held scoreless until the 34:33 mark, when Visith Nguon opened the scoring by deflecting a Michael Martinez pass into the net.

Although the score was still 1-0 at half time, the flood gates opened in the second half. Dino Torrez scored the first of his three goals en route to his first career hat trick at the 51:01 mark. Just 40 seconds later, Brian Askew scored to put CSLA up 3-0.

Jose Rodriguez added a late goal at 84:49 to complete the scoring and give CSLA a 6-0 win.

Friday's showdown between the ·Roadrunners from MSCD and Roadrunners from Cal State Bakersfield was sure to produce a Roadrunner victory, but it was the sixth-ranked CSUB Roadrunners who picked up the win.

Jorge Maldonado opened the scoring at the 11:21 mark, when his bicycle kick eluded MSCD goalkeeper Larry Sersante, giving CSUB all the offense they would need.

Ayman Hamid put CSUB up 2-0, two minutes into the second half on a breakaway, before Ben Mains finished off MSCD with a header off a Henrik Marions cross pass at the 60:05 mark.

Ashton said his team was not disappointed with the results on the weekend.

"We didn't feel too bad," said Ashton.

"We felt we played hard, and gave it our best shot. We didn't have the staying power in the second half. We were disappointed, but pleased with our effort."

Adding to the Roadrunners' optimism is the prospect of as many as three players becoming,,academically eligible this week. The three players are midfielder/defender Kevin Bunning, defender Jeff Linsenmaier, and attacker Aldo Castillo,

Torres scored his second goal of the night at the 54:27 mark, then rounded out his bat trick 13 minutes later, putting the

all freshmen.

"Those three guys could have an impact if they're in shape," Ashton said.
