MSCD president Sheila KaP,lan said she wants to increase tuition to· raise $3 million over the course of three years. The extra revenue will help cover MSCD's operating costs such as faculty

salaries and student services. According to Joe Arcese, vice president for Administration and Finance, students will fork over about $30 more per semester if the raise is implemented. 'fhe current rate for 12 credit hours is $722 per semester. Kaplan said MSCD has the lowest tuition of most four-year colleges in the state, and despite the proposed increase

students will still get an educational bargain. "The point is, we are significantly below our peer institutions," she said. The tuition increase is part of a trilevel plan devised by Kaplan to raise revenue through state funding, private contributions and student fees.

Kaplan goes-to Capitol for more funds Christopher Anderson Senior Staff Writer

MSCD's financial disparity demands more funding to accommodate an expected student enrollment boom, or quality of education will drop, President Sheila Kaplan told a legislative committee Oct. 27. The Colorado Commission on Higher Education predicts an in-state enrollment boom of 22 percent by the year 2001. That's at least 4,000 more MSCD students, Kaplan said. However, an inadequate budget already has MSCD strapped. "We receive the lowest per-student state subsidy of any four-year public college or university," she said. Salaries for MSCD's faculty are lower than other comparable institutions. "Our administration is lean," Kaplan said. "I have eliminated several administrative positions and redeployed staff into direct student services." Suggesting solutions to help MSCD serve an increasing student body, Kaplan laid down five steps for the state legislature's Higher Education Planning Committee to consider: • Tuition increases. • Make state college funding formula fair. • Restructure the Auraria board to make it more sensitive to student needs. * Loosen up rules concerning off-campus edu~tion. • Ensure state dollars follow the students. A 1994 law commissions the 12member legislative committee to submit a bill at the first regular session to "accommodate and not restrict enrollment demand." As per the 1aw, the committee took recommendations from CCHE and scheduled five days of meetings with higher education officials. During the Oct. 27 meeting, Kaplan said that MSCD tuition should be increased. "Our students are paying bar-

, "When dollars are put for library books ... it seems to always get shifted over into salaries," Sen. Tiiiman Bishop said Oct. 27 to MSCD President Shella Kaplan who said the Aurarla library Is woefully Inadequate. gain-basement prices for a high-quality education. We can't continue to remain as underfunded as we have been in relation to comparable institutions without ultimately compromising quality," she said. Chris Lepore, director of the Colorado Student Association, told the committee that tuition should increase only at the rate of inflation. "Tuition and fees should not be the source to replace lost state subsidy," he said. Kaplan suggested the base-funding formula, which is used to determine how much state funding a school receives, is unfair because it doesn' t reward delivering a cost-effective education. The state funds MSCD $4,300 for every full-time equivalent student while UCD receives $7,900 - an 84 percent higher funding rate, she said.

She also questioned whether the base allocations need to be altered for enrollment growth. The Auraria board, which is responsible for campus infrastructure and Tivoli Student Union dealings, would be more efficient if the presidents of UCD, MSCD and CCD replaced the state level executives who are part of the board by law, Kaplan said. "This would result in an increased responsiveness to the needs of students, faculty , staff and the instructional process," she said. Off-campus education rules that allow community colleges, but not MSCD, to receive in-base funding for offcampus education need to be·loosened up, Kaplan said. "There simply doesn't seem to be any logic, consistency, or fairness in these

policies," she said. Kaplan said enrollment demands on classroom space could be solved with telecommunication courses and satellite campuses. She also said MSCD needs the incentive of state funding for these programs, instead of the college having to use its own money. "I believe strongly that a change will be necessary to accommodate growth," she said. Kaplan said state funding needs to follow the students, citing an inadequate library, lack of specialized space for the arts, and classroom space that doesn't meet code. Sen. Tilman "Tillie" Bishop, RGrand Junction, facetiously suggested a line-item budget to prevent presidents from shuffling money around.

Professor Eze leaves MSCD department in a 'lurch' Jesse Stephenson Senior Staff Writer A professor with a tumultuous history at MSCD caused his department to scramble in finding faculty to teach his courses after he resigned less than a week before the first day of fall classes. Moses Eze, a former Mechanical Engineering professor handed in his resignation on Aug. 18, 1994. Preceding his resignation he was found to have made unsatisfactory progress as a professor, and w.as accused of sexual harassment by a female student. John Schmidt, the former chairman of the Mechanical Engineering

Technology department, said Eze actively sought other employment during the 1994 spring semester and expressed dissatisfaction with his job and relationship with his colleagues. Although Schmidt granted Eze permission to use the department fax machine for sending resumes, he said the news of his resignation was unexpected. "He left the program in a Lurch," Schmidt said George Rowley, the acting chairman of the Mechanical Engineering Technology and Industrial studies, said that despite Eze's short notification the department was able to find replacement faculty to pick up Eze's classes before

school started. In addition to finding a replacement for Eze, Rowley said the department was forced to make changes to its class schedule so that part-time faculty could pick up the courses. According to his contract, Eze was required to make satisfactory progress in meeting the conditions of "The Final Written Plan to Resolve Difficulties," dated Nov. 22, 1993, to be awarded another contract for the 1994-95 academic year. A four-member review team, comprised of John Schmidt, Percy Morehouse, Ben Monroe III, and Bill T. Rader unanimously rated Eze's perfor-

mance for the 1993-94 school year as unsatisfactory. In their evaluation, dated June 14, 1994, the reviewers stated that Eze did not submit written documentation concerning fulfillment of the stipulations of the special contract. The evaluation also noted that Eze was accused of sexual harassment by a student. He was determined to be guilty of tl:e allegations during a conference prescribed by state statute to determine whether the harassment occurred. The document states that Eze "made a sexually harassing statement to (the student) and touched her in a non-criminal nature."

Democratic congressional candidate calls term limits stupid for Colorado SCHROEDER from page 4

smart. If something's a boondoggle, they don't want it. I had a roaring fight that went on for years with The Denver Post when the whole (Colorado) delegation was backing all these water projects. I voted against them and The Denver Post would rail and rail and rail, so I would have to defend myself at every corner. Yet, basically, people said I was right. We ought to be doing recycling. We ought to be doing the technology of today rather than damming up things, because that's 1890's technology. When it's that kind of thing I'm more than willing to stand up against it. For example, both Rocky Flats and the (Rocky Mountain) Arsenal. Lowry got the National Service Program. It's only one of four sites. The Aurora Community College needed a place to go. University of Colorado Medical Center needed a place to go. We have all those jobs moving into Lowry. I worked hard to do that and worked hard to make sure HUD (Housing and Urban Development) gave us the money to do it. LANDA: What are your views on term limits? SCHROEDER: I think for Colorado

"">"

it's stupid. In the House of Representatives there are 435 members. Guess how many come from Colorado? Six. So that means 429 don't come from Colorado. Texas, California, New York and Florida: These states control half the votes. All of these things such as viaducts, student loans, school aid are all based on a formula of how you allocate these dollars, and the whole fight is on these formulas. Now if you give up seniority, which is the only thing you have to counter the four states that control these votes, you may as well just write your check to the federal government and give 25 percent to each of these states. Because that is exactly how these formulas will work out. If you ever watch CSPAN, the meanest fights we ever have is on formulas. With clout you can fight hard on the formulas, and you can fight hard on insisting they don't porkify it, and it can be competitive. LANDA: Why do you think the people of Colorado are willing to vote in a term limit amendment? SCHROEDER: I think that talk radio has just told people that all politicians were pond scum and it's one of those quick no-brainers. People vote for it and then they get it and say, "Oh my

gosh, we've shot ourselves in the foot." They also haven't looked at countries who have put in term limits. Mexico has the strongest term limit law on the planet. You can't run for anything more than once. They also have the most professional politicians and the most corrupt, because they run for state house, then they run for Senate, then they run for governor, then they run for a federal position. They just pass it off within the same party. Is that better? They don't learn any of the jobs really. LANDA: In the Colorado gubernatorial race you hear the term "career politician" used as an insult b~tween Romer and Benson. Is that an insult? SCHROEDER: I don't think so. Do you know what the word "idiot" comes from? It comes form the root word in Greek meaning "not to be in politics." "Politician" comes from the Greek word that means "people." Everything is political to some extent. Look, I will not defend all politicians. I will not defend all lawyers. I will not defend all of anything, because people are not angels. If we were angels, we wouldn't need government. We wouldn't need police. We wouldn't need anything.

Funds should raise quality of MSCD TUiTION from page 1 Kaplan said MSCD' s sparse funding results in an insufficient number of full time faculty, paltry student services, a high student-teacher ratio, and uncompetitive faculty salaries. This year only 80 percent of MCSD's costs were covered by state funding, and tuition brought no surplus revenue. Arcese said MSCD goes into debt and has to cut back on faculty and programs when funding doesn't cover 100 percent of costs. The president will make an appeal to the state legislature to ask that state funding to MSCD not be reduced if tuition is

raised. Currently, the legislature subtracts revenue generated by tuition in determining need for allocation of state funds. Despite the absence of surplus tuition money, Kaplan said MSCD is the least funded four-year college in Colorado. Arcese said if state funding is further reduced as a result of increased tuition, MSCD will scrap its plan to hike the rates. "We don't want to charge our students more then we absolutely have to." Arcese said. MSCD student Timothy Rogers doesn't mind the increases. "If it is going to improve the school,

go ahead," he said. MSCD student Betsy Lefsky agrees, but only if the money is used wisely. "I think they waste some of the money they have," she said. "Money should be regulated toward better teachers and classrooms. Some teachers are kind of second rate - some barely speak English." Faculty Senate President Jerry Boswell said students will get a better quality of education for the money they put in. "It's a trade out," he said. "Students have been shortchanged in the past because the resources weren't there."

To spit is inhuman and disgusting Well, it happened again today as I was walking to class. A student in front of me let loose with a big, wet, bubbly string of spit right where I was about to step. With deft sidestepping and quick, evasive maneuvering, I missed stepping in the glistening glob at the last minute. People! Did you grow up in a barn? Didn't your parents teach you that spitting is gross, impolite, and unsanitary? It is! Is this a trivial complaint? Possibly. Is stepping in

someone else's spit disgusting? Definitely! While appreciate the First Amendment's guarantee to freedom of expression, as the legalists would say, your rights end where my nose (or foot, in this case) begins. What I'm saying is, keep your bodily fluids to yourself! Not only will we be able to walk freely on campus once again, we will also cut down on ice of unknown origin this winter. Marisa Mueller MSCD student

Off-campus networking is heaven In the past few weeks I have attended several professional conferences. Being a Human Resource major, these meetings were extremely educational, adding information to my base of knowledge. But more .important, I had an incredible opportunity to network! As one person said, "It doesn't matter what you know, it's who you know." Of course, these were not the first professional meetings I have attended. I learned early in my junior year that networking with professionals could lead to internships, part-time work, and maybe full-time work. If a meeting is not great for networking, it can still be used as an impressive addition to a resume. Because I am graduating in December and I care that "younger" students acquire an excellent education, I would like to encourage them to participate in more professional conferences. Every week there are meetings taking place covering almost every field of employment. Information on up-coming events can be gath-

ered from professors and student organizations such as the Human Resource Management Society. In addition, I ask, I challenge - whatever it takes - the president of the college, the deans of the schools, the chairs of the departments, the full-time professors and the part-time professors, to encourage their students to attend conferences off campus. With that, I applaud Beth Frederick, who requires her work force diversity classes to attend at least six conferences and does not hesitate to cancel her labor/employee relations classes so the students may attend a subject-related conference. I applaud her for understanding the importance of networking and the opportunity professional meetings offer students. Tigger Hale MSCD student

Inept play review 路w as a hatchet job I don't know if I saw the same "Quilters" that reviewer Louis A. Landa saw, but I can only rebut Landa's hatchet job of a fine play (The Met, Oct. 21 ). Landa, you missed a great performance! My 11-year-old son and I attended the play on a cold, rainy Saturday night. I had spent the day writing a term paper, and my son and I were tired. But we wanted to see the performance. Do you want to know what happened? We were enthralled. I forgot my fatigue, and my son sat rapt through the entire production. Believe me, this is meant as a tribute to the cast and their rendition of a difficult script! Landa's use of relative terms such as "barely watchable" or "not the strongest'' confused me. I won-

dered just how closely he had watched the play, and what message he had derived from it. Perhaps Landa showed some personal distaste for the intimate aspects of the women's hard lives. The women depended on each other for emotional support, which they derived partly from discussing intimate and seemingly distasteful facets of their lives. They also showed each other loyalty and affection, as for instance, when they attended the birth of a baby. I loved the shadow block quilt that depicted that ch~dbirth. The actress pantomimed labor so realistically, that I held my breath in hoping that she would get through it OK. The actress got the audience to empathize with her, and that was good acting!

Also, I enjoyed the music and the songs. Many of the songs, which included a fair sprinkling of gospel singing, were sung with no instrumental accompaniment. Yet, for the most part, the actresses sang them in tune and on pitch. The audience heard smooth harmony, and that was good singing! In contrast to Landa's attitude about the consistency of the acting, I saw smoothly constructed piecework. Any patchwork was minimal to the point of nonexistence. Landa reviewed the play ineptly. That's all there is to it. I think that he missed his calling. He should have been a mudslinger. Cheryl Murphy MSCD student

Q_f poli,tics, cynicism and the undead The Rev. Mort·!.Farndb • FirstM Presleyterianm;Church' of Elvis , don't know about you, but politicians make me sick. They're like telemarketers in a time warp. You don't hear a peep from them all year, then the phone never stops ringing. Suddenly, they're everywhere - TV, radio, newspapers, billboards - all screaming at us: "Buy me! Buy me!" But I'm not going _shopping this election day. I'm not buying any of the candidates this year. Or any propositions, supposittons or hypotheses. I'm not entertaining any amendments. What I am doing is dropping out again. Sort of a personal '60s revival. I won't be alone. A lot of people are cynical these days. It's not just that government is bloated and corrupt. It's always been bloated and corrupt. We've always had politicians (and bureaucrats, lobbyists, contractors and other vultures) feeding off the carrion. But the corpse is really starting to stink now. And now we have media analysts to read the entrails. Election time has become showtime in America. We're blitzed by attack ads and bombastic commentators. Assaulted by sound bites and healed by spin doctors. Entertained by saxophone

So mesmerized by media have we become that a hack movie actor can impersonate a president for years and win an Oscar for the performance. We no longer live in a democracy. I think the term for our present form of government is a mediocracy. This year's campaign has done nothing to cure the national cynicism. Maybe I'm on Mars, but this is the picture I'm getting of the current political scene: A divorced drunk driver, harassed by giant ducks, is running for governor of Colorado and losing badly. A slick Texas oilman is spending $15 million of his own money to buy a Senate seat in. California, but he's really controlled by his New Age, cultist wife. Ollie North, the scariest guy in America, has $18 million to buy his Senate seat in Virginia (financed by God knows who), a seat now held by another ptlotogenic ex-military officer, who has a fondness for beautiful women who are not his wife, who happens to be Lynda Bird Johnson, LBJ's No. 1 daughter. Who is the very guy who soured me on politics in the first place. You can't help being cynical about politics when you grew up in the '60s. Kennedy was the first president most of

Fall is in the air and so is the smell of sweaty politicians racing for office. I'd offer them some Right Guard, but that might be misconstrued by the religious right, conservative right or might-makes-right factions involved in this year's gymkhana. MSCD's Political Science department is offering blue pamphlets of information regarding the amendments, referenda and general crap we have to select from this year. Your correspondent gamely set out to read this booklet in its entirety on the bus to school today and would like to report her findings. It's boring! But what's new? The first referendum refers to making initiatives and amendments carry only related items, as opposed to letting hitchhikers - with little chance of passage on their own - ride along. An example would be if the cigarette tax amendment contained a hidden rider about the illegality of Amendment 2. Mostly what this referendum is about is making elections simple, stupid. It presupposes that the lackadaisical attitudes many people have toward taking responsibility for their lives in other respects slops over to their politics. Actually, that is probably a pretty safe bet. On the other hand, bills in the general assembly already have to conform

CoPIRG serves reality for lunch Kevin Juhasz Staff Writer The focus of the Colorado Public Interest Research Group's Oct. 27 World Reality Lunch was the differences in how people of the world eat. Tables in the Zenith Room at the Tivoli Student Union were set up to represent the first, second, and third worlds. The first world was the nicest table, with plates, silverware, a tablecloth and centerpiece. The second world had a tablecloth, and the third world tables were bare. As people entered the room, they were asked to chose a number out of a hat. The number instructed them to which world they were to go. "The best thing that can happen from this event is if the ·activism and the involvement of these people transform and extend out into the community where it's needed," said Randall Peterson, a CoPIRG volunteer. B'efore lunch, speakers talked about the purpose of tbe lunch. Renny Fagan, a representative from Gov. Roy Romer's office, spoke on the state's role in dealing with homelessness. He talked about how the state coordinates with federal agencies on the problem. Charles Angeletti, an MSCD professor of history, spoke on the continuing problem of hunger and homelessness. "I was here last year," Angeletti said,

"and when they told me the name of this was once again going to be Reality Lunch, it occurred to me that reality really hasn't changed any in a long time. As a matter of fact, reality is getting worse for a number of people." He said that America has not addressed the problems of education, providing jobs or raising the awareness of people in power for a long time. Angeletti also said that the country has not recognized the problems of the poor. "We have a war on poverty that is being won by people who are against solving the problem," he said. Rich Cocha spoke next about the problems of homeless children and teenagers. Cocha started Stand Up for Kids, a not-for-profit organization that helps children on the streets. Cocha said he is concerned with the direction the country is going and the things people are concerned with saving, such as animals, the ozone layer, and the rain forests. He said he doesn't know for whom all of these things are befog saved. "Those we should be saving them_for are dying on the streets," said Cocha. After Cocha finished, the lunch began. The first world was served a meal that consisted of tamales with chile sauce and sandwiches with meat and cheese. The second world was allowed to eat what was left over and had to serve themselves.

The Metropolitan/Nlkolas Wllets

Rep. Pat Schroeder addresses the World Reality Lunch. The third world group was allowed to eat whatever was left over. Their meal consisted mostly of bread and water, although there was a bit of meat and cheese left. The final speaker was Rep. Patricia Schroeder, D-Denver. Schroeder. said that we need to stop ignoring the problems and look for ways to deal with them. "The idea that anyone goes to bed hungry, or the idea that anyone doesn' t have shelter in a nation that has so much is really almost a condemnation of us that

we have not paid more attention," she said. She also said that this is the generation that can solve the problems and has the technology to do it. "The thing that we have to have to make it all work is heart," said Schroeder. "I'm thrilled that they're doing this," Schroeder said about the CoPIRG lunch. "Trying to be compassionate and find out what we can do to solve problems together, I think makes a whole lot more sense than beating people over the head."

New concert films worth watching twice Jeff Stratton

•

Editor They shoot concerts, don't they? Concert filmakers have a difficult task: capturing an ephemeral event and transforming it into a souvenir of a memorable experience that can be enjoyed again and again. These new chronicles fall into this category. Peter Gabriel's 1993 tour allowed him to bring the theatrics he pioneered in his Genesis days to full fruition. One of the most elaborate and ambitious stage concepts ever attempted, a mere audio recording of the Secret World shows wouldn ' t suffice for anyone who witnessed the grand production - you'll need to see Pete and his band magically disappear and re-appear at the end of the 120-foot-long stage, Pete's stunningly high-tech video headgear, his band being packed into a suitcase, Shankar's wicked double-neck electrified Plexiglass violin and all the other visual highlights of the show. Secret World Live includes most of the songs American audiences saw, although the CD substitutes a charged version of "Red Rain" for the video's

Mr. Gabriel paddles across the river of his spacious stage.

"San Jacinto." Though the dramatics are eye-catching, Gabriel's band, including long-time mates Tony Levin (bass and stick) and David Rhodes (guitar), are technically great enough to dazzle without any stage production. Gabriel ' s female foil for the American tour, Joy Askew, was replaced with Paula Cole for this concert, which was recorded last November in Modena, Italy. Cole doesn't have the ability to vocally upstage Pete the way Askew did, and that, for those who know better, is the only disappointment here, unless you find Gabriel's somewhat silly dance moves a detraction. Gabriel's last two studio efforts, Us and So are the fodder for most of the show . "Digging in the Dirt" and " Sledgehammer" are two highlights. "Kiss That Frog" has the look of an MTV-style video: full of close-ups of band members. Us' hidden masterpiece, "Secret World," receives a 10-minute elegiac rendition adorned with strobe lights and spinning camerawork. "Salsbury Hill" is the only older song that appears on the CD. Don't expect old favorites from Dead Can Dance's Toward The Within. The modem masters of Medievalism include among these 15 tunes only four that have appeared on any of their six albums. The dynamic yin/yang duo of Lisa Gerrard and Brendan Perry present a couple of Irish folk songs ("I Am Stretched on ¥our Grave," "The Wind that Shakes the Barley") some fanatically powerful new dervish material ("Rakim" and "Oman"), two absolutely heart-rending Gerrard pieces and a trio of lackluster folk songs from Perry. Where Gabriel's stage was a cuttingedge, sleight-of-hand magic show, Dead Can Dance packed seven members into a tiny space at Santa Monica's Mayfair Theatre. The invite-only concert was also taped last November. Nestled tightly together with a bevy of folding chairs and protruding wires, the band members' casual attire and un-self-conscious demeanor lets the spectator be taken over by the sheer passion of the music. Not hard to do when Gerrard's mere presence is emotionally devastating. Live, she looks like Glenda the Good Witch, a

Rollercoaster ride ends Michael BeDan Sports Editor The tumultuous season that began with a nine match win streak and ended with the Roadrunners losing seven of eleven, finally came to a close Sunday with MSCD tying Colorado Christian 3-3. In one of the wildest games of the season the Roadrunners stormed out to a 2-0 lead just twenty minutes into the match, then saw the lead evaporate into a tie at the end of regulation. MSCD fell behind 3-2 in overtime and salvaged the tie with just eight minutes left in OT. "It was an odd match with some very strange calls," MSCD coach Ed Montojo said. MSCD freshman Shannon Wise put the Roadrunners up early with an unassisted goal at 7:30. At the 20:00 mark Chrissy McCain found Rosie Durbin inside the penalty box and Durbin put it away for a 2-0 lead. Then, as if to define its season in one game, MSCD gave up three straight goals. At 44:20 Natasha Zottneck scored her first of two off of Andrea Williams' pass to the penalty box. She added an unassisted goal with just eight minutes in the match to

Overtime began ominously as Stacy Zier scored for CC on a penalty kick after the referee appeared to blow the play

dead. Zier kicked the ball and the whistle blew as the ball traveled toward the goal. The MSCD players gave up on the play when they heard the whistle.

"The ladies quit on the play because he blew the whistle," Montojo said. "He said he blew it to signal a goal, but the ball hadn 't crossed the goal yet." MSCD recovered and tied the game when Emma Thompson scored unassisted at the 112:00 of OT. The Roadrunners finished 11-7-2 in what Montojo called a rebuilding season. Next season MSCD returns all but three players; Durbin, Jessa Montoya and McCain. MSCD could compete for a national title if the team learns from this season's hard losses, sophomore Deborah Sapashe said. "I think this season taught us a lesson," Sapashe said referring to the 9-0 start. "We can't look ahead next year." Durbin, MSCD's scoring leader and CAC scoring champ, played her last game for MSCD Sunday and said her biggest disappointment is that she can't play one more year. "I'm bummed that it's over," Durbin said. "I didn't want it to end." MSCD beat Regis 3-2 Saturday avenging the 3-1 Oct. 19 loss at Regis. The Roadrunners return a strong team next season but lose 20 goals of production between the three graduating seniors.

Women fight to win CAC crown Mark Cicero The Metropolitan

The MSCD women's volleyball team came one step closer: to capturing the Colorado Athletic Conference title, winning both of its conference matches last week. The Roadrunners, 20-13 overall and 6!2 in the conference, beat the Unive~ity of Colorado at Colorado Springs on Oct. 26, 15-3, 15-10, 15-9. UCCS, 4-4 in the conference, put up little opposition,:for the Roadrunners, who avenged an eady season loss to the Gold. "This was a different team than .the one we played down in Colorado Springs," coach Rhonda Williams said\ ,"I think they just last all their desire to play."

MSCD ended the match with a .353 attack percentage and recorded 50 kills. Sophomore outside hitter Stacey Hoyt led MSCD with 15 kills, and seniors Crissy Canada and Chelsea Terrell ended with 12 each. "I thought Stacey had a good match, along with Chelsea," Williams said. "But we get . up in matches and let down because{we think the teams are*going to give up when we start beating them." The Roadrunners continued to play strongly Oct. 27 night, beating Colorado Christian., University, 15-6, 15-5, 15-10. cariada dominated the match, recording 21 kills and committing only one error, ending with a .769 attack percentage, one of the highest in MSCD history. Canad& set the record last year with a .778

percentage in a match against Air Force Academy. The Roadrunners beat the Cougars 35 without superb play in the conference but by forcing them to commit 19 errors in 114 attempts. "I thought it was going to be a harder match than it was," Terrell said. "I don't think they played very weJl and they were diSappointed." .,, The Roadrunners played Colorado Christian again Tuesday night at the Atiraria Events Center, beating them 15-4, 15~12, and15-2. The match took just 58 minutes to complete and three players finished with a .500 or better attack percentage. ' Canada Jed the Roadrunners with 14 kills followed by Terrell with 12.

MSCD has three conference matches remaining before regionals. The Roadruruiers travel on Nov. 3 to the Air Force, then tackle Denver University on Nov. 9 before finishing the season at home Nov. 11 against the CAC-leading Regis. "We can maybe lose one more match and still win the conference," Williams said. "The loss could come to Regis, but if we lose to Air Force and beat Regis, it will probably offset it. "I think we can do it, watching those other teams," Williams said. "And when we play well, we can beat anybody. MSCD is currently tied with Air Force for second in the CAC and will need Regis to lose if it bas a shot to win ·· the CAC title.

Men survive tough season Sports briefs Congrats Trevor Grimm The Metropolitan Young sports teams always talk about how their youth will pay off in the future. But for the MSCD men's soccer team, the future came early. After starting the season 1-7, the Roadrunners went 6-6 the rest of the way, and were outscored 30-23 over the last 12 games after being outscored 33-3 in the first eight games. And although the Roadrunners finished the season with a 3-1 loss Monday to Regis, MSCD picked up a 2-0 victory Oct. 28 against the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs to pick up their first shutout of the season. "We had a great second half of the season," MSCD coach Al Ashton said. "We had a good team effort, instead of playing as individuals, and that's what made the difference. We could have folded and lost everything, and we didn't." Adding to the Roadrunners' optimism for the future is the fact that the entire team could be back next year. "We won't lose a single player," Ashton said. "Our two oldest players are Billy (Kawamura) and Wade (Schaefer),

and they'll both be seniors." Against Regis, the young Roadrunners were competitive against the 12-6 Rangers (10-1 CAC). After two early goals, MSCD played Regis evenly the rest of the way. Stuart Chandler opened the game's scoring just 9:07 into the game when he scored on a shot into the far post. Matt McDowell added to the Rangers' lead at the 21:44 mark when his shot eluded goalkeeper Larry Sersante. The Rangers added some insurance at the 64:40 mark when Jeremy Sanchez scored an unassisted goal that deflected off Sersante, giving Regis a 3-0 lead. Wade Schaefer prevented the shutout when he scored at the 73:20 mark to close the gap to 3-1, but MSCD could get no closer. "It was a great goal by Wade," Ashton said. "We had our chances, and we could have won." Against UCCS, the Roadrunners looked impressive in picking up their first shutout of the season. Sersante made nine saves in the win, as he continued to be one of the league's hottest goalkeepers. After a scoreless first half, the

Roadrunners gave Sersante some help early in the second half when Schaefer scored at the 55:50 mark on a shot from inside the penalty box. MSCD held on to their 1-0 lead until late in the game when Maher Kayali scored his third goal of the season at the 89:55 mark to give MSCD some insurance and a 2-0 win. Schaefer credited the team's increasing maturity for their recent success. "We're a little more mature," Schaefer said. "We got to know each other better (as the season went on)." With the split last week, the Roadrunners finish the season 7-13, with a 4-8 record in the CAC. Before Monday's game, MSCD stood a respectable third place in the league standings, but as the only team to finish its season, its final positioning was unavailable at press time. Overall, 16 of the 26 Roadrunner goals this season were scored by freshmen, with Aldo Castillo leading the way with 10 goals and 21 points. "Next year, we will be pretty good," said Castillo. "The main thing is we have fun and don't just think about winning."

Women's volleyball player Crissy Canada was named Player of the Week for her efforts in two matches. She totaled 33 kills, eight total blocks and nine digs as MSCD swept two Colorado Athletic Conference matches last week.

Farewell The women's soccer team is losing three seniors. Rosie Durbin, Jessa Montoya and Chrissy McCain have completed their careers. Thanks for the memories and best of luck.
