Light rail signs inadequate .-

Officer Nick Arguri cites Bari Sturdefant for maklr:ig a prohibited turn Tuesday night. Sturdefant w~s trying to make a left turn on to 7th Street from Colfax Avenue when the train got in her way. No one was injured in the collision.

Louis A. Landa News Editor RTD and Denver city officials admit signage problems exist at intersections along the light rail corridor, but that has not prevented police from issuing tickets and warnings to aberrant motorists. Denver police have beefed up patrols at the 7th and 9th Street intersections along Colfax Avenue. This comes in response to a Sept. 21 accident when a light rail train

struck a car making a right tum on to 9th. The purpose of the patrols is to stress the importance of adhering to new traffic patterns associated with light rail operations. "It's supposed to be an education process," said Sgt. David Levy of the Denver Police Department. Levy said the decision to issue a ticket or give a warning is up to· the officer on site. "Tickets are being issued to blatant violators, but I'm also giving warnings," said A.W. Klug, a Denver

motorcycle officer. He emphasized that the biggest problem is people not paying enough attention to the trains. He did admit that some of the signs are difficult to see, but said tickets were only going to drivers taking undue risks. Not everyone agrees with this policy. Ben Kline, RTD board member for District C, said signs are inadequate and need to be improved.

N.Y. Deli review. See if you agree!

Disability screening closed to MSCD students Becky O'Guin The Metropolitan MSCD and UCD students can no longer take advantage of the learning disability screening at CCD. MSCD and UCD do not contribute any funds to the program, and CCD cannot afford to allow them access to the program. "As times get tough, everyone protects their budgets," said Gary Macdonald, CCD coordinator for special learning support programs. During the last three years, MSCD has referred 170 students to CCD for the learning disability screening. The screening is done to let students know whether or not they are good candidates for full evaluation. Evaluations can cost anywhere from $250 to $350. Most insurance companies will not cover the cost. CCD used

to provide the evaluations, but since money.has gotten tighter, they have had to eliminate in-house testing. Students are now referred to off-site psychologists for the evaluations. The only place offering the service at no charge is Colorado Rehabilitation Services. A learning disability is a disorder which affects the manner in which individuals with normal or above-average intelligence take in, retain, and express information. Since learning disability evaluations are not covered under the new Americans with Disabilities Act, any evaluation service related to this disability is a featured benefit~ which may or may not be addressed by the Auraria colleges. "We don't have the money we need to run the programs we have already," said Gerri Wessling, Associate Manager

of the Disability Services office. "We should provide services that help students succeed," Macdonald said. "We should offer the LD testing particularly to CCD and Metro students, because we serve students that can't afford it." However, the four Auraria institutions are meeting to address the issues of all students with disabilities. "Wr;, are trying to coordinate all various services, what kind of budget it will take, where to go and what services will go to where," said Vernon Haley, vice president of Student Services. "We will meet required things first and then see if there is money left over for feature services that are not required by the ADA." A committee made up of people from all three schools is being put together, which will focus on disabled student services and will get the students' input into any proposals. Haley said he would like to

have the proposals gathered by the middle of October. There are a couple of scenarios for how the services will be divided: First, MSCD, UCD, CCD or AHEC could solely take over the services and charge the other schools a fee. Second, each school could set up its own program or develop one that services all schools. "The preferred scenario is consolidation," said Haley. Currently, AHEC runs the Disabled Students Services for MSCD and UCD Services include note-taking, interpreting, tutoring, and advising. The office runs on a $98,000 budget, which covers the salaries of two part-time professional employees and student hourly help. They see up to 330 students with disabilities a year.

GMC colored gone An MSCD student's pickup truck was reported stolen from Lot I on Sept. 13. When the student returned from a class, his blue-with-gray-top GMC Sierra wasn't where he left it. The student said his payments were current. There are no active leads at this time.

Marijuana mayhem An MSCD student was caught taking a toke Sept. 7 by an Auraria Public Safety officer. The officer chucked the small amount of hooch in a nearby trash can, harangued the student and later destroyed the pipe. No further action was taken against the student.

,Cops nab bumbling bicycle thieves Christopher Anderson Staff Writer An Auraria Public Safety officer helped capture two bolt cutter-wielding bicycle thiev~s in one week. The officer, Randy Hinricher, witnessed Alexander J. Jaramillo, 23, on Sept 9 and Jerry Allen Sly, 36, on Sept. 13 cutting cable locks from bicycles that they did not own. Both were subsequently arrested and charged with theft. Hinricher helped reduce the number of bicycles stolen from Auraria campus when he spotted Jaramillo cutting a cable lock from a men's 21-speed Avalanche

mountain bike parked at an 1100 Curtis St. bike rack. After Jaramillo cut the cable lock from the Avalanche, he then rode away on it, leaving behind a black Tequesta bicycle. Jaramillo was apprehended by officers Barela and Evenson at 7th and Walnut. Jaramillo admitted to stealing both the Tequesta and the Avalanche. A search by the officers of Jaramillo's backpack revealed one pair of 18-inch cable cutters, and a bag of suspected marijuana. APS Public Information Officer Connie Bessar said Jaramillo knew what he was doing when he left behind the

$500 Tequesta for the pricier Avalanche. The same day that memos congratulating Hinricher for Jaramillo's arrest were disseminated, Hinricher helped catch Sly. That day, Hinricher radioed that he believed that a mountain bike was about to be stolen from the 1000 block of Champa Street. Seconds later, Sly cut the cable lock from a Diamond Back bicycle and was subsequently arrested by a contracted APS officer. One of the victims said it was a wonderful feeling when APS said they had the bike and had caught the thief. The

victim said that APS should be recognized for putting in time and energy to thwart bicycle thieves. Bicycle theft has been a problem for the Auraria Campus. Thirty-six have been stolen since April 4, 1994, which is one more than last year at this time. In order to prevent your bike from being stolen, APS recommends students with bicycles to: •Use a U-shaped lock such as a Kryptonite •Park near other bikes •Register bikes with Denver Police •Park at bike racks ill patrolled areas

MetropOOtan -- State Colle,ge ofDenver Information Technology

Attention! Students, Faculty and Staff MSCD has an approved "Appropriate Use of Computing And Network Facilities" policy which has been approved by the College's Information Technology Advisory Committee. Please take time to read this policy. Those of you requesting access to the Internet (Information Superhighway) will be required to sign a document certifying that you assume responsibility for adherence to this policy.

APPROPRIATE USE OF MSCD COMPUTING FACILITIES Metropolitan College of Denver's mission statement espouses a "commitment to academic freedom as the key to intellectual inquiry and development of ideas." For us to successfully realize this mission, it is incumbent upon every user of MSCD's computing resources to use those resources appropriately and responsibly, i.e., to use computing and networking in a way that does not infringe on any other individual's academic freedom, that does not impede any other individual's intellectual inquiry, and that does not interfere with any other individual's use of computing to develop ideas. Equally important is the individual's right-to-privacy. Every member of the MSCD community must protect every other individual's right-to-privacy (see the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974). This responsibility spans every form of information: on-line systems, reports, verbal and electronic communications, and electronic data files. Metropolitan State College of Denver wholeheartedly endorses EDUCOM's published statement of principle concerning software and intellectual rights (see The EDUCOM Code) . APPROPRIATE USE To be appropriate, use of any computing facilities at MSCD must be clearly in support of the institutions goals. These facilities are provided as "tools" for the college community to use in accomplishing their respective jobs. This is true of administrative

MSCD's computing resources are avai!able to MSCD students, faculty, and staff. For any other individual or organization to use MSCD's computing resources requires special written approval from the Associate Vice President of Information Technology. INAPPROPRIATE USE Any activity involving MSCD's computing facilities which knowingly interferes with someone else's academic freedom, the institution's goals or policies, or breaks State or Federal law is inappropriate. Some examples of inappropriate use include, but are not limited to the following: -Attempting to gain access to personal information, computer accounts, or computing resources for which you are not authorized; -Not logging off from public terminals, thereby providing others access to computing resources for which they may not be authorized; -Damaging, altering, or tampering with other's data contained within or transported by MSCD's computing facilities; -Violating the confidentiality of information associated with an individual or their research, or information associated with the college; -Any form of electronic eavesdropping, e.g., examining the contents of data packets transmitted on the campus network; -Any form of harassing activity; Any activity which

wastes either human or computing resources. -Violating copyright protection and authorizations, license agreements, and contracts. -Any commercial use for profit;- Use of an inter-campus network such as Bitnet, Colorado Supernet, or the Internet that violates their usage guidelines (see usage guidelines form these various networks). Many of these examples involve violations of law. For example, unauthorized access into someone's information stored on a computer system is a violation of that person's right to privacy and is a criminal act. RIGHTS Information Technology reserves the right to assist in determining inappropriate use. This may include, but is not limited to, examining the contents of data files or reports and system activity logs. RESULTS OF MISUSE Misuse of computing resources at MSCD may include suspension of computing privileges, referral to an appropriate authority on campus, and referral to a law enforcement agency. Disciplinary action by the College may include suspension , expulsion, and requirements to make final restitution.

RTD working to improve signs SIGNS from page 1 "It isn't the money that counts anymore, it's the safety of the people," Kline said. Kline is a proponent of installing crossing barriers similar to those found at railroad crossings. He also said RTD may face numerous lawsuits unless safety improvements are made. Levy agreed that light rail signs along Colfax require improvement. "That's a big problem with RTD. We've been asking for better signs," he said. One of the main complaints is the difficulty motorists have seeing the signs prohibiting left and right turns. "One of those signs is covered by a tree," said Ian Cameron. He was issued a citation for making a prohibited tum. Cameron was taking his niece to work at the Auraria Child Care Center on Sept. 22, when he was stopped by Denver Police. He said he does not trust the signs because they have signaled improperly in the past. "I just look to see if a train is coming. I know what's going on there," he said. " It's just defensive driving." Cameron said he plans to fight the citation.

Problems with the visibility of these signs have been acknowledged by Dennis Royer, director of traffic operations for Denver Public Works. He said the signs are not bright enough. "We are working with the manufacturer to enhance the visibility of the (signs)," Royer said. Royer said his department is working to improve the safety conditions at all intersections, especially where accidents have occurred. He said in some of the early accidents involving light rail, better signs may have helped prevent the situation. Another problem exists with the timing of the signs and how they correspond with train travel. The extended length of the illuminated "no left tum" sign at the Colfax and 7th was the cause of the Sept. 27 accident, according to Bari Sturdefant of Denver. Sturdefant was making a left turn off Colfax. She said when she pulled into the intersection the sign was not illuminated, but as she began her tum the sign came on. "I had no idea the train was coming," she said. "I had to move through the intersection, so I said 'screw the sign."'

Amendment one targets .tobacco -.. -,...

September 30, 1994

Students on the Auraria campus who want to get away this winter, spring or summer break will have plenty opportunity to do so. The newest vendor in the Tivoli Student Union arrived last week - Council Travel Services - and they arrived with a bang - offering students a chance to win a free ticket to London. We wanted to find out more. about the services offered by Council Travel, so we talked to their manager, Nancy Kivlen.

METRO: WHO IS COUNCIL TRAVEL? David Thompson The Metropolitan A proposed amendment that would raise state tobacco taxes is intended to bring Colorado an additional $132.1 million a year. Most of Amendment 1 is designated for anti-tobacco programs. "It's a wholesale tax, so the tobacco industry will have to pay it," said Arnold Levinson of the Fair Share for Health Committee. He also said that it should be up to the tobacco companies to charge more. The proposed tax would be 50 cents on a pack of 20 cigarettes. Other tobacco products will be taxed at 50 percent of the manufacturer's list price. "We hope the rising price will help in preventing children from starting to smoke," said Shelly Binoeder, program director of the American Lung Association. · The initiative dictates that most of the tax would be used for health care, educational programs to reduce tobacco use, and research on tobacco use and tobaccorelated illnesses: •Half the revenue will go to medical

care for those unable to afford it. •Another 30 percent would be for educational campaigns in schools and communities to prevent and reduce tobacco use. •Ten percent would go for research on tobacco-related illnesses and methods to prevent tobacco use. •Five percent is earmarked for economic development, including healthrelated businesses. •One percent would go to covering the administrative costs of a citizens' commission on tobacco and health. •The final 4 percent would be distributed to municipalities and counties as the revenues from the statewide tobacco tax. The tobacco industry told the Denver media that the initiative is unfair and they expect to spend up to $5 million to defeat it. "In Colorado, more than 40 children per day start smoking," Binoeder said. Referring to an American Lung Association study, she said that a 10 percent increase in the cost of cigarettes would coincide with a 3 to 5 percent

COUNCIL: Council Travel is the Nation's oldest and largest student youth and budget travel agency. As a part of the not-for-profit Council on International Education Exchange (CIEE), Council has been in business for over 45 years and has more than 50 offices in the U.S. and abroad.

METRO: "WHAT DOES COUNCIL TRAVEL BRING TO THE AURARIA CAMPUS?" COUNCIL: "A variety of travel options that can't be found in 'normal' travel agencies. Besides low airfares throughout the US, we offer special student discount fares to most international destinations."

METRO: "HOW DOES THAT MAKE YOU DIFFERENT FROM 'NORMAL' TRAVEL AGENCIES - MOST AGENCIES OFFER INEXPENSIVE PRICES?" COUNCIL: "Most discounted airfares are non-refundable and highly restrictive. Council Travel has specially-negotiated rates for students and teachers that are not so restrictive. You can make changes for $25, cancel for $50 and most of the tickets are good for one year. We also offer the International Student and Teacher Identity Cards - which allow students and teachers special discounts all over the world, not just for flights, but for museums and other attractions."

METRO: "SO, DOES COUNCIL TRAVEL ONLY SERVE STUDENTS AND TEACHERS?" COUNCIL: "No - we're open to the public - anyone can use our service. We have discounts for staff, parents and anyone looking to save money on their next trip."

METRO: "THAT'S GREAT. DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE YOU SELL OTHER THAN AIRLINE TICKETS?" COUNCIL: "A Jot more. We have air and hotel packages to Hawaii and the Carribbean, cruise discounts, and spring break trips for students. We have student tours of Europe that cost about $75 a day and include hotels, meals, transportation and sight-seeing. We issue Eurailpasses and Hostel Cards plus we sell travel gear and guidebooks. We also have information on study abroad and language programs."

Between myself, Kellie and Ryan (our staff) - we have been to, lived.or worked in Europe, Hawaii, Mexico, the Carribbean, Asia, China, Japan, Africa, South America, Australia and New Zealand."

METRO: "WHAT IF I JUST WANT TO GO TO VEGAS FOR THE WEEKEND OR VISIT MY AUNT IN SOUTH BEND?" COUNCIL: "That's great. We can always offer you the lowest prices."

METRO: "FINALLY, HOW DO YOU THINK COUNCIL TRAVEL CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE FOR STUDENTS ON THE AURARIA CAMPUS WHO WANT TO TRAVEL BUT DON'T HAVE MUCH MONEY?" COUNCIL: "We're here to help them get to where they want to go as inexpensively as possible. We can advise them and help them budget their trip. Council Travel is committed to being a part of the Auraria campus community. That's why we're giving away a ticket to London. Plus, we're planning a huge Travel Fair and inviting Rick Steeves to come talk about Europe."

METRO: "REALLY? WHEN DOES ALL THIS TAKE PLACE?" COUNCIL: "You'll have to stay tuned ...Call us or stop by for more information. We'll even throw in a free STUDENT TRAVELS Magazine."

Don't tell us how to protest The Sept. 23 editorial by Jeff Stratton regarding the Sept. 16 walkout was off the mark. The Chicano/Latino community was not demonstrating against the teachers being racist or biased against Latinos, but rather to communicate to the governor and the legislature the lack of commitment by Denver Public Schools to adequately meet the educational needs of its students. Another issue of concern is the recommendation by DPS for the Latino community to do a 'Walk In" at its local schools. Such a demonstration would have been contrary to their purpose. The students and parents sought to communicate their outrage not to DPS administration or the school board who have ignored the recommendations of the community - but rather to the governor and the legislature. Interestingly, the community has made numerous attempts to work within the educational sy~em by meeting with teachers, Community Decision Making teams, principals, the school

board, and the superintendent; all of which have led to no plan of action by DPS. As a result, parents, students, and community leaders coordinated numerous demonstrations and protests at schools and the DPS administrative office, and still the district hasn't developed a plan to educate and graduate its Latino population. The complaints of the Chicano/Latino community are not new, nor are they cries for the sake of crying. It tears at my heart to see our children miss a day of education to carry a message to the legislature and the governor concerning the lack of commitment by DPS to meet the educational needs of its students. But it had to be done. It's a shame that the media and the public are unsupportive and critical of the demonstrators for taking their concerns to the state legislators. I dread the day when a government organization can dictate to a community group how to demonstrate. DPS has shown no intention of addressing or attending to problems

that affect our children's schools. Thus the Latino community demonstrated at the Capitol to vocalize the need for a partnership between the community and DPS. Because students learn in different ways, DPS needs to be responsible and accountable for educating all students by providing equitable funding and allocation of resources to the schools and undertaking different paths to reach educational goals. The Chicano/Latino community has been "Walking In" to their area schools in an attempt to improve the quality of education, but DPS administration has ignored them. Appropriately, the walk to the Capitol was the next course of action due to the need for institutional change. It is important for the Denver community to realize that "education is a right not a privilege," and that what we refuse to invest in today, we will pay for tomorrow. Alfonso Suazo MSCD Student

An open letter to the students of MSCD from Megan Reyes, Student Government president After repeated intrusions by The Metropolitan on the day of our SGA meetings, typically just an hour before they begin, I asked if I could schedule a meeting with reporter Jesse Stephenson the following day so that we could afford time for her questions and my replies. Although we covered many aspects of the SGA. Jesse was really interested in the parking issue, and this led to my explanation of the SGA's justification for such a 'perk'. Clearly, she missed the boat entirely. Allow me to explain. Last summer, I presented a budget to the SGA for ratification. In that budget, I had included a line item for parking permits at a cost of $1,250 per semester. At the time of ratification, I spoke of the ramifications of such a 'perk' and that we would most likely receive some opposition to it. The SGA voted for it anyway. I'll tell you why. How to ensure the success of an egalitarian structure was my primary goal during the summer months. Having had almost three years of experience in student government, I had a pretty good idea of what worked and what didn't. I knew for instance, that an incentive had to be part of the deal. I can't think of anyone who is willing to commit 20 - 30 hours per week for next to nothing. That, I contend, was the problem with the old structure of student government. At any rate, I took a serious look at parking and how it is a

major obstacle for SGA members in coming to campus. I have always understood that this is so for all MSCD students, but even more so for SGA members. Personally, I sit on 5 committees and have at least 5 to 7 meetings per week in addition to my daily administrative and managerial tasks. This work takes place randomly throughout the week, regardless of how it might compliment or interferE;I with my schedule. All I would like the students at Metro to know is this: The SGA is working very hard to secure a strong student voice on this campus. To date, we have done the following: 1) Amy Haimerl and Mark Shannon co-authored the Institutional Fee Plan in August. {It was recently presented to the Board of trustees by Alfonso Suazo.) 2) Brooke McMaken coordinated the Club Funding Committee, and funding for various MSCD clubs has been ongoing since its July 15 start. 3) I recently held a meeting with several international students, Vice President Haley, Dr. Conner, Dr. Thobhani and myself in order to address concerns over the restructuring of the International Programs office. As a result, weekly meetings will take place to ensure that students are a part of the decision-making process. 4) After the fatal accident two weeks ago involving a CCD student, I

met with Dean Wolf {AHEC) about my concerns for students' safety and have subsequently been appointed to two committees addressing the dilemma. I intend to meet with Denver officials, as well. 5) A student approached me just today about concerns over the lack of funding for travel for academic presentations. I told him that I will set up a meeting with him, Dean Foster {Interim Provost) and myself in order to look into this issue. 6) Amy Haimerl has coordinated with Karen Bensen and Vice President Haley to locate a permanent space in the Tivoli Student Union for the Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual office - we'll keep you posted! The bottom line is, we are working for you, MSCD students. I invite you all to join us during our meetings to find out what we are really doing for you, our constituency. If you can't make those meetings, call me, or any of the other vice presidents, and tell us what you think. OUR DOOR IS ALWAYS OPEN! (Just don't expect an immediate response 30 minutes before our meetings on Wednesdays when we are trying to get organized!) If you are concerned over the parking permits, come tell me about it!

Tired Qf ~extbook ripoffs? . Try the CoP.IRG Book Swap r

)

As students, we are all familiar with the cost of college textbooks. Many students feel outraged that they must pay several hundred dollars every semester for their books. Some teachers and administrators agree that such pricing is excessive. To say that the cost of texts is unfair, however, implies that there is no justification for their cost. If there is justification for college book prices, it certainly has not been adequately explained to any of the people we know. Everywhere we turn, students and teachers are complaining or exclaiming about the cost of texts. Nobody seems to think that the pricing is just. Is it? We would like to know if there is any reason for such pricing. We .should refuse to obediently, robotically line up in the bookstore at the beginning and end of every semester, and just wait to get screwed again. We have the right Jo know if there is. any basis behind the cost of textbooks, or if we are passively feeding the money-lust of a system that relies on our Ignorance and submission. When a student must pay $80 for the latest edition of a book, rather than paying $40 for a U$8d previous edition, how have we, the book, or its ~ubject matter improved significantly enough to warrant this change? Who makes these decisions - the publishing companies? More fundamentally, how does the higher education institution and the textbook publishing industry account for charging $80 for any book? How does the bookstore justify charging $40 for a used text? Regarding used texts, many students are familiar with the difficulties of trying to study from one whose previous owner apparently felt that even the book's most trivial sentences deserved broad strokes of neon yellow emphasis. We'd like to know who decides that such books are worth as much as the used texts which are returned in excellent condition. AboVe all, we would like to know who determines the value of a book being sold back to the store at the end of a semester, and on what criterion is such a decision

made. We have all experienced receiving virtual pocket change for a book we paid $50 for. Many of us have been handed a quarter for a text which someone has decided will no longer be used, but recycled. Why? We would like answers to these questions and more. Millions of students on campuses across the country face such frustrations surrounding textbook prices. Costly textbooks may present even more of a problem for some students attending our unique, urban institution. MSCD prides itself on what it offers to such nontraditional students. Often it is the case that these students do not have the same financial resources to draw upon as a more traditional college student would. Instead of merely stating the issue, or complaining about it, we intend to do something about it. We students, working as members of CoPIRG, have decided to organize a Book. Swap on campus at the end of this semester. At. the Book Swap, students will be able to buy, sell, and trade books directly with other students. We feel that this could save many students a lot of money, and perhaps become a permanent alternative for students. Due to the wide number of students who could benefit from this event - perhaps all of us - we hope that other groups and individuals on campus will recognize the value in this idea. Hopefully, you will come together in vocal support of the project. In any case, let this letter bring about an end to the frustl'ated resignation that thousands of MSCD studen~ experience at the bookstore every semester. We are not mere sheep with wallets, but conscientious consumers with the power to bring about change and demand answers to our questions. Let this be the beginning of a positive, ongoing dialogue in search of answers and solutions to the textbook situation. Shelli Klahn Clayton Steneroden MSCD students and CoPIRG members

Not scared of you

â&#x20AC;˘,_

To the three gentlemen and the young lady who were sitting outside the Tivoli Student Union a few Wednesdays ago on the south side of the building (and you know who you are): You appeared to be having a problem with your machismo. You made it a special point to point out that you were not homosexuals and the guy sitting next to you was not your lover: I don't know if you gentlemen realized that this is a institution of higher education. I guess school has failed you. In this day and age there are so many opportunities out there to inform oneself about differences and similari-

ties among people. I am amazed that you haven't run across that information in your classes or from a extra curricular activity, like a guest speaker at St. Cajetan's Center or somewhere else on this campus. You guys are a frightening bunch, and believe me when I say, I did not feel safe that afternoon. I have the right to feel safe. Your comments were offensive and crude. My first response was fear and to stay clear of you, but guess again, I'm not going anywhere! MSCD student Name withheld by request

Let us out of the closet With all the changes happening in the Division of Student Services, I think it is time to rename some of the departments and personnel titles. Let me offer some background information before I tell you the new names. Student Services has put signs in all its offices stating that the student comes first and the student is the most important person in each office. My experience this fall has proven these statements to be false. My concerns started this fall when I found out that the Gay, L~sbian, and Bisexual Student Services new office was a closet in the office of Student Activities. Given that GLBSS serves not only MSCD but also CCD and is working to serve students at UCO, it is inappropriate to house an office that is working with such a large number of students on the Auraria Campus in a closet. Being "in the closer has special meaning to people in the Gay, Lesbian, and Bisexual communities. MSCD has completely undermined the whole purpose of why it created the GLBSS office. Being the involved, concerned student that I am, I thought I would talk with some of the people "in charge" at Student Services. Everyone there agreed that the office space for GLBSS was inappropriate. I offered a short-term solution of moving the GLBSS office into Student Activities conference room until appropriate tri-lnstitutional space could be found. There were several other options being reviewed. Mine was not one of them. You may think that Student Services is trying to take care of my concerns, but they have yet to tell me or anyone else when or how they plan to correct the problem. When I talked to the director of Student Services she angrily responded to my suggestion by telling me that her personal olfice is a closet, that she has already had to give up space to the Short Term Student

Loan Program and Student Travel, and that she was promised a conference room in her suite. My response to her is that since she designed the suite, she should have designed it differently if she didn't want a closet for an office. Secondly, her department's space is anything but a closet. Finally, Student Services is in a Student Union with access to several conference rooms that can be reserved at any time as often as Student Services wants. GLBSS's use of Student Services's conference room is not a permanent situation. Next, I went to the Student Government Assembly (SGA) with all of my concerns. The president and several members of the SGA are concerned and want to work to correct any inappropriateness. However, the Vice President of Diversity seems to have more important things to deal with in her own community, so she has not even had the time to return my phone calls. I hope that in the future the Vice President of Diversity will be able to see that diversity includes many communities, not just hers. I started out by saying it is time to rename some parts of the Division of Student Services. The Office of Gay, Lesbian, and Bisexual Student Services should become "In-The-Closet-of-GayLesbian-and-Bisexual-Student-Services." The Office of Student Activities should become "The Office of Need-More-SquareFootage, and Bad Planning.n The Student Activities Director's title should become "Inappropriate-Acting Director of Student Activities and 1-Am-More-lnterested-lnW hat-Adm in i st ra to rs-Want- ThanStudents'-Concerns." P Bryce Avery, MSCD Student

Closet is only temporary The Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Student Services program is open to all MSCD students as a resource for exploring gay, lesbian and bisexual issues. This program offers a variety of support, education and advocacy services for the entire campus community. Since the beginning of the GLBSS program one and one-half years ago, there have been four separate office spaces due to its tentative funding. Each have been temporary space until something more permanent could be found. Locating in MSCD's Student Activities suite was a last minute decision and not part of the original plan for that suite made two years ago before GLBSS existed. GLBSS is not structurally a part of Student Activities, but they graciously invited the program to use an office in their suite when it became clear that a location would have to be found. While the office is small, the Student Activities staff have been excellent hosts for this program and have offered many extra perks such as use of their fax machine, space for a work study person, use of the conference room, mail sorting, use of the copier, receptionist help, programmatic and moral support, and wann friendly reception to students who come to the GLBSS office. I have no complaint about the Office of Student Activities or with anyone in it. And . . . the GLBSS office could definitely use more space! The GLBSS has high student traffic with needs varying from crisis counseling

to a safe place to hang out and connect with other GLB students. There is a steady flow of students walking in and phoning in for information and referral, research information, interviews, support, and to help coordinate the activities and events coming out of the office. To get to the office, they must first pass the Student Activities receptionist and other staff and hope that they are GLB friendly (which they are, but newly "out" students or first tme visitors may not know this). Then they must knock on a door clearly marked as "GLBn. This can be very intimidating to some students who are not yet comfortable identifying as gay, lesbian, or bisexual. Even so, the trafÂˇ fic is high. All of the students will tell you that there is a need for GLBSS, and for safe space for GLB students. A larger office should not be in the Student Activities conference room, however. This would only be another temporary solution and which would inconvenience Student Activities. There must be a more elegant solution to this. At this writing, coordinated efforts have begun between GLBSS; a student representative, Bryce Avery; MSCD Student Government, and representatives from Student Affairs at MSCD, UCO and CCD to determine together what that elegant solution will be! Karen Bensen, Coordinator Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Student Services

September 30, 1994

The Mefs cartoons are lost on the unconscious We are writing to defend the cartoon printed in the Aug. 19 issue of The Metropolitan that depicted a priest telling a young man not to masturbate because it will cause blindness. The man asks the priest if it is all right until he has to wear glasses. In the Sept. 2 issue, three letters to the editor denounced the cartoon. We concede that perhaps the cartoon was not very tactful. But we also suspect that the reactions to it written by campus Christians were characteristically narrow-minded. Ironically, the Christian responses reflected what the caricature implies: The mind-set of the fundamentalist is similar to the single-mindedness of censors. The cartoon, then, is more than a simple "joke." It is a statement that criticizes the ominous role control plays in religious fundamentalism. The reactions to it suggest censoring this statement. Thus, the reactions reinforced, even inflated, the cartoon's

message: Fundamentalist "thinkers" unquestioningly believe there is a dire and immediate need to control people, whether it be through myth (masturbation causes blindness) or censorship (blasphemous cartoons can't be printed). Wayne Jordan admonishes the editor for offending Christianity, a "reasonable faith that is believed by hundreds of millions worldwide." He goes on to write that very few Christians are foolish fundamentalists. But it is hypocritical to deride fundamentalists when Jordan himself maligns the freedom to express an opinion that deviates from his religious views. To advocate censoring the cartoon, in other words, is to adopt a central tenet of fundamentalism. He also believes that The Met should not offend what he considers is a "considerable percentage" of Auraria students. He seems to think that because a construct is popular, one should not criticize it. Nonsense! A widely held lie is still a lie and should

be exposed as such. Or would Jordan censor us? Matt McGuiness, like Jordan, is a polytheist. He also believes in God and Big Brother. In his editorial epistle he preaches that "masturbation is a seriously immoral act because is misuses the gift of sexuality for mere selfishness" and is "not worthy of the human person." He demands, moreover, an apology from The Met for its "insensitivity." He, too, believes that a studentfunded publication should not print that which offends him and his horde. But there is also a "considerable percentage" of us who think that censorship "is a seriously immoral act" that is "not worthy of the human person." Does McGuiness know what hypocrisy means? Or does he practice the orthodoxy of unconsciousness? Yes, the cartoon offended some people, but censoring it is not an answer. Obviously, censorship is an expression of control, or inhumanity; it

is hostile to freedom, thought, and individuality. If we were forced to think alike, we would probably all dress alike, smell alike, and hate alike. Our reality, to be sure, would realize Huxley's surreal vision of a uniform, static, and boring world. This is why we deem it Orwellian if the heretical voice is to be deleted, ''vaporized in Big Brother's memory hole." We think that most students of Auraria respect not only the freedom to think, but, more importantly, the freedom to express what they think. This means allowing the dissenting voice to be spoken, heard, and, yes, even printed, regardless of how offensive, irreverent, or abhorrent it is. Simply put, there are only two directions to internalize regarding freedom of speech: Either one is for it or one is against it. Kevin O'Brien Barb Ferrill MSCD students

The changing face of Elvis Ill The Rev. Mort Farndu e 'v e examined , during past weeks, how major religions of the world have changed, particularly in the West. So it should come as no surprise that the worship of Elvis clearly the culmination of a 5,000-yearold Western tradition of monotheistic belief - is now torn by schisms. As reported in April by Christianity Today, "Pockets of Elvis worship have been discovered in New York, Colorado and Indiana." The Presleyterian Church, then, is not the only church of Elvis. But we are the only true church. Heretics are everywhere. They lurk among the followers of false gods like Cher and Oprah, of course, not to mention Michael Jackson, the anti-Elvis. (Unhand our Princess, Evil Gloved One~ But the worst heresies against the king are coming from the people who claim to revere him most. Like the Church of the Risen Elvis. I've met the founders, a husband and wife team whose great zeal for E is undeniable. I've visited their shrine.

First Presleyterian Church of Elvis the Divine

It is adorned with many images of Elvis - the young, svelte Elvis. It is this Elvis that they and their parishioners worship. It is blasphemy. Presleyterians know the young, svelte Elvis was merely a beginning as the King evolved into something far larger - into the old bloated Elvis, in fact. The Elvis who reflects the glorious excess to which we all aspire. We do not dismiss E's divine corpulence as an embarrassment. Rather, we embrace it - if our arms are long enough - for we know it is the old bloated Elvis who embodies the very essence of Elvisness. And the heresy of other Elvis churches goes even deeper than that. I'm not talking about fine points of theology here, like whetherJ he holiest city in Elvisdom is Las Vegas or Memphis, Tenn. No, I'm talking about something that goes right to the heart of E's divinity. Like did Elvis Presley really die on Aug. 16, 1977? There are Elvis worshippers who believe that he did, who revere the King's legend and nothing more.

Then, there are Elvis worshippers who believe he did not die, that he faked his own death. Heresy. Heresy. For the truth is Elvis did die - and he did not. This paradox lies at the very core of Presleyterian theology. We know that Elvis died that day in Graceland. That his body was found in the bathroom by the Heavenly Ginger, his current lover. We know that Ginger alerted the entourage, and that two martial arts experts barred the door until the ambulance arrived. And we know when the door was unsealed, the body was gone. I won't speculate about who was buried in Elvis Presley's grave. But I will say that Elvis appeared to the Heavenly Ginger three days after the funeral. And shortly thereafter to other members of his entourage. There have been many Elvis sightings over the past 17 years. These witnesses to E's divinity are not hysterical or psychotic. Nor are Elvis sightings merely the product of media sensationalism. For Elvis died and was reborn.

Yes, Elvis was a flesh-and-blood man, and when his heart stopped, he died like any man. Yet Elvis also transcended flesh - an immense feat, given E's sheer mass. So mighty were his excesses in his great zest for life, so majestic were the heights he had scaled, so powerful was his spirit, which transformed an entire generation, that he resurrected himself. Elvis can now appear or disappear whenever he wants. 0 mighty E, you whose holy being can incorporate or discorporate at will! You who can reinhabit your gargantuan body whenever you choose and return to pure spirit at whim! You who are flesh and spirit, body and soul, two mints in one! You are Elvis - our rock AND our roll. And remember, friends, that the Presleyterian Church is the only church that has penetrated this mystery of Elvisness. Don't be fooled by imitations. When worshipping E, accept no substitutes. Insist on the First Presleyterian Church of Elvis the Divine. Anything less would be heresy.

The Metropolitan

Get into the Grind -for coffee, art, etc.

--I..

Catherine O'Neill The Metropolitan Chris Chantler, like most self-respecting Englishmen, enjoys a good stout brew. Coffee, that is. Highly concentrated. In short, sharp shots. At frequent intervals. At least, that's how he seems to have managed the last few weeks as he frantically prepared for the Friday opening of The Daily Grind 2 in the Tivoli Student Union. "Yes, I am normally Like this," he quipped as he raced about, hair and papers flying. He's a busy man, all right. In addition to the coffeehouse in Vail he and his partner started in 1989, a Denv..:!' location at 19th Street and Broadway that opened just last year, and a coffee cart in the Anaconda Towers, the latest Daily Grind has been offering a broad selection of those good stout cups of coffee from a cart in the food court of our new student union since August. The Grind outbid the other businesses for the Tivoli lease last year, and was the only company prepared to open a fullservice coffeehouse. Full-service, according to Chantler, means a variety of things: He intends to serve more than drinks to a caffeine-craving student body. The obligatory espresso bar features coffee beans roasted at 8,000 feet by yet another of their budding enterprises in Minturn (outside of Vail). The coffeehouse houses a full deli and bakery, as well as a range of specialty teas, from Whittard of Chelsea and The Republic of Tea to herbal alternatives. Chantler also plans to offer weekly music shows and poetry performances, and is working with Student Activities to make the elegant space available for various student gigs. "The whole concept is for this to be an

't:

The New York Delicatessen is already a tradition in Boulder and Breckenridge, but has yet to prove itself in Denver. These are F.ast Coast prices on a Southwestern economy. To be fair, some meals are worth the money. 1be vanilla C.Oke - 85 cents, with refills for a quarter - is syrupy and satisfying. The shakes are great, but at $3.25 they should be twice as big. But size usually isn't an issue at The New York Delicares5en. Both salami sandwiches we tried (the kosher and the Genoa are both $5.25, with the Genoa far superior) were so enormous they made for two meals. Although they're naked as a jay bird except for a watery pile of iceberg lettuce, the sheer weight of them alone make them a good value. Like any good deli, N.Y. has a plethora of bread: French. focaccia, pita and kaiser or onion rolls are 25 cents extra, but the rye bread is marvelous. The pastrami can't be done justice with anything les& Bread is definitely a selling point for the Deli.. The bagels are phenomenal. 1bey have won some of us over from even the delicious Rockies Deli bagels. You can get a bagel slightly smaller and harder than a Rockies bagel for the same price - and twice the flavor. The only problem is the cream cheese. For 75 cents you get the bagel For a small smathering of cream cheese you pay $1.25 more!!! Burgers need to be explored more carefully, but the mushroom cheeseburger ($5.95) wa.5 cooked to specifications and wa.5 juicy enough; but the Cajun burger ($5.25) seemed pedestrian and was laclcing ooomph. One disappointment arrived with the $6.50 bage~ cream cheese and lox sandwich. Maybe the order of ingredients should have been a tip-off, because the beautiful sesame bagel came with a tiny ramekin of cream cheese flecked with minuscule shreds of lox. At least one slice of salmon would be fair. The so-called C.Oney Island hot dog is not C.Oney Island Too much kraut Too much relish. It's not a real dirty water dog,

but the Deli does use Hebrew r--i~r.----- the best kind of wiener, and it's a frugal $2.95. Vegetarian dogs are also available. The Deli also offer coupons for lunch deals. The grilled tuna steak sandwich ($6.95) sets the record straight again with a huge, not-too-Ory filet on a bun. Even though it screamed out for tartar sauce, spices, anything, the bare little fishie accompanied by coleslaw is a terrific, albeit simple, lunch or dinner by itself. A veggie pizza ($5.75) was full of oregano and little crouton-like nubs of tofu, but seemed a bit scant on the veggies. Another vegetarian special, the E.LT.

Âˇ Soccer team still perfect -

Michael BeDan

Sports ECJl1or The women's soccer team continued to plow through opponents last weekend, winning both of its Colorado Athletic Conference matches. The Roadrunners defeated Fort' Lewis Sept. 24 at MSCD 2-nil and beat Air Force Sept. 25, 2-1. MSCD remains undefeated at 8-0 overall and 6-0 in the CAC and is ranked third in the nation at the Division II level. Against Fort Lewis, MSCD dominated the play by possessing the rock for nearly the entire game. The score does not indicate the type of control the Roadrunners had in the match, largely due to the superb goal-keeping of Aimee Hourigang who made 10 saves including a spectacular grab late in the second half. "That keeper deserves a gold medal, man," senior midfielder Jessa Montoya said of the opposing net-minder. "She just stopped everything we had." Almost everything. MSCD outshot Fort Lewis 32-5 and opened the scoring early. Montoya drew first blood for the Roadrunners at 15:11, on a gorgeous header off a Melissa Villani pass that God couldn't possibly duplicate. "I was in the right place at the right time," Montoya said of the goal, her second of the season. "It couldn't have been a better pass." Jill Vollmuth put Fort Lewis to bed at 41:61 as her unassisted goal would conclude the game's scoring and would elevate the Roadrunners to 7-0, and 5-0 for the season and maintain the teams highestever ranking at third.

over the Cadets but no one was happy with the flat performance MSCD showed. "It wasn't pretty today, it was damn ugly ," coach Ed Montojo said. "We played two physical teams back-to-back and we're just glad to get the win." The game was a defensive struggle and only 15 shots were taken in 90 minutes. The Roadrunners took 10 of those shots and Rosie Durbin scored at the 25:50 mark and again at 52:05 on a penalty kick. "It was sloppy but we got the win and we're aJI happy," Durbin said. Air Force added a late goal at 71:37 but it was too little, too late as the Roadrunners held on to win the match in its Latest step on the road to number one. "That is our goal definitely," Jamie Morgan said of the hope for a national title. Coach Montojo said the team's immediate goal is to win the CAC. "If we can win the CAC then we'll let the chips faJL where they may," Montojo said. "If we continue to win and make it to the national playoffs then we'll take it from there." To date MSCD is off to its fastest start ever and is a realistic contender for the national crown. The Roadrunners return to MSCD Oct. 5 to host the University of Denver at 4p.m. Rosie Durbin leads the Roadrunners with 12 goals and five assists in eight games this season. Shannon Wise is sicond on the team with seven goals and an assist. Goal keeper Chellie Mccourt has made 24 saves and allowed just two goals. Jennifer Pierce has 15 saves and has allowed one goal.

Kerry Beidleman left, and Kathleen Bond go up for a block in MSCD's win over USC Sept. 21. The Roadrunners ended a four game losing streak that dated back to Sept. 14.

The 16th-ranked MSCD women ' s volleyball team played as flat as an empty volleyball in its 15-12, 13-15, 15-7, 15-10 win Sept. 21 over Southern Colorado at Auraria Events Center. "We won; but it wasn't anything pretty," senior outside hitter Crissy Canada said. "It was definitely nothing to brag about." In game one, Southern Colorado jumped out to an early 7-1 lead before the Roadrunners showed signs of life. MSCD fought back, tying the score at 12, and eventually pulled away, 15-12. Senior outside hitter Chelsea Terrell sparked the Roadrunners' comeback with nine kills in 19 attempts. In game two, MSCD's inconsistent play led to its only loss of the night. The Roadrunners were leading 13-12, but allowed the Indians to win three consecutive points, and the game, 15-13. "We're up and down a lot," 5-foot-5-inch senior Katie Horvat said. "Our concentration and intensity levels are up and down. We really need to focus more to get better." The Roadrunners looked ready to open the match up in game three. MSCD bolted out to an early 10-3 lead, but inconsistent play let the Indians close the gap to 107. After a quick timeout, the Roadrunners closed out the scoring, 15-7. The Indians gave the game to MSCD by making 13 errors and only nine kills. MSCD closed the door on the Indians in game four, running to a 15-10 win. The Roadrunners continued to hit poorly in the final game, ending it with 14 kills and committing eight errors. Roadrunners head coach Rhonda Williams said

THE LAW OF THE LORD IS PERFECT • • •

MSCD is still playing poorly, an aftershock of the disappointing 0-4 record in the Colorado Challenge Tournament last weekend. "I know USC is better than they have ever been, but we have never lost a game to them," she said. "We have lost our confidence, and they are afraid to push hard. It' s frustrating for us." The Roadrunners ended the match with 59 kills, led by Terrell with 23, but MSCD committed 30 errors along the way and ended with a paltry .170 attack percentage. The Roadrunners continue to play uninspired volleyball during matches, Williams said. "I feel like I'm on my knees begging them just to fight," she added. "I can't do everything. They have to take it right here and run with it." MSCD is 8-6 overall and 1-1 in the Colorado Athletic Conference. "I think we need to work a lot better together," Canada said. "We need to just pick it up because we' re very slow right now. · "Each player is going to have to find it individually to pull it out somehow. Once each individual starts to pull out and play, we will come together as a team." Crissy Canada leads MSCD with 223 kills and .354 attack percentage. She averages four kills per game. Chelsea Terrell has 209 kills and a .138 attack percentage. Her monster jump serve has accounted for 26 aces, edging out Canada who has 25. The women travel to the Air Force Academy Sept 30 through Oct. 2 for the Premier Tournament. The next home date for the Roadrunners is Oct 7 against the Cadets at 7 p.m. Denver University will be at the Auraria Events Center Oct. 8 to take on the Roadrunners at 7 p.m.

• The Metropolitan

September 30, 1994

Men's ·soccer floundering Trevor Grimm the Metropolitan Bad luck and inexperience continue to haunt the MSCD men's soccer team. On paper, the Roadrunners' last two games look just like two more losses in a long season. But despite losing ~ the University of Denver 8-0 Tuesday and CUColorado Springs 3-0 Saturday, a number of positives came out of each game. In Tuesday's game, the Roadrunners (1-7 overall, 04 CAC) held the Pioneers (4-2 overall, 3-0 CAC) scoreless through the first 38 minutes without regular goal~eeper Larry Sersante, who was serving a one-game suspension for a red card he received against UCCS. But at the 38:03 mark Chad Haughland score<I the first of his three goals on an unassisted goal. Just four minutes later, Haughland added his second, and with 2:57 remaining in the half, MSCD was suddenly down 2~ and lost momentum going into the second half. "(The two goals) hurt us a little bit," said MSCD coach Al Ashton. "The first goal was a little lucky, it took a funny bounce and went to a guy who was open.

We were kind of stunned, and within (four minutes), they scored another goal." With momentum on their side, DU wasted no time burying the Roadrunners in the second half. Pioneer standout Matt Okoh scored the first of his four goals of the half at the 48:06 mark, then Haughland rounded out his hat trick two minutes later when he scored at the 50:27mark. "DU's a pretty good team," said Roadrunner Renato Castillo. "They've played together for four years, while most of us are just starting. It's hard to stop a team like that." DU made the score 5-0 at the 58:35 mark when Okoh scored his second, then went up by six at the 64:04 mark when Stoner Tadlock's shot eluded MSCD goalkeeper Cullen Lyle, who was filling in for Sersante. Okoh added his third and fourth of the game at the 74:46 mark and less than a minute later at 75:32 to round out the scoring and give the Pioneers a commanding 8-0 victory. "Matt Okoh's a good player," said Roadrunner Mazen Kayali. "It's hard to stop a good player like him. We can't do anything about it."

The Roadrunners were outshot 24-11, but Lyle, in an unfamiliar position, made 16 saves. "(Lyle) did a good job as goalkeeper," said Ashton. "He saved a breakaway on their best player." Saturday's 3-0 loss at UCCS was frustrating for Ashton, as he felt MSCD dominated the game. The key play came early in the second half when Sersante became tangled with a UCCS player who collided with him. Sersante was handed a red card when an official looked up to see him pushing the other player. The red card carried an ejection and one game suspension, in addition to a penalty kick, which UCCS scored on, opening the game's scoring. UCCS added two breakaway goals later for the 3-0 final tally. The Roadrunners are in action at noon Oct. 1 at MSCD against Northern Arizona before embarking on a three game road trip Oct.7,8 and 9 against Fort Lewis, Southern Colorado and West Texas State. On Oct. 13 Colorado Christian will be at MSCD for a 4 p.m. match against the Roadrunners. MSCD has given up 22 goals and scored only three so far this season.
