Millions needed for AHEC repairs Jesse Stephenson Senior Staff Writer

t

Most of the major buildings on the Auraria campus are almost 20 years old, and their age is clearly beginning to show. Pipes are corroded, roofs are leaky, and ventilation is inadequate.

An audit of Auraria facilities conducted last year by the Auraria Division of Facilities Management brought a slew of problems caused by deterioration and a growing campus population to light.

This spring the division will request $13 million in state funds from the legislature to repair campus facilities. The legislative budget for facility improvements for the entire state is $15 million.

Despite the multi-million dollar request, Jim Kelley, director of the division of facilities management, said he expects to get no more then $1 million in state funding for repairs, which would be the most money the division has received to date.

"We've never gotten over $1 million in one year." he said "The closest we've ever come is $700,000."

According to Kelley, the division will probably get more money from the legislature this year because of the upswing in the state's economy, which means more state funds are available. And because the results of the audit show solid evidence that some campus facilities are in dire need of repair.

To supplement the audit findings Kelley will give the legislature a prioritized list of facilities that need to be

crime stats off Becky O'Guin The Metropolitan

How safe do you feel on campus? According to a recent study, MSCD ranks as one of the 10 most dangerous schools in the West. However, further examination of the statistics shows that this is not an exact summation of campus crime.

The book, Crime at College: The Student Guide to Personal Safety, uses statistics to rank the safety at colleges across the United States. The study was conducted

by Curtis Ostrander, a former police captain from New York, and Joseph Schwartz, a former reporter for The Ithaca Journal. The statistics used for the survey that ranked MSCD as the 10th worst college to attend were college town crime rates, not college campus crime rates.

The college town crime statistics used in the survey came from the FBI's. 1992 "Crime by County Report.".

College campus crime rates were based on the number ' of crimes per 100 students enrolled at the school. Four hundred sixty-seven schools with at least 5,000 students were surveyed for the 1992-93 school year.

In the safest colleges in the West category, Colorado State University came in fifth. Campus crime rate for CSU was .22 compared to MSCD's rate of .33. It's interesting to note that the survey ranked UCD with a campus crime rate of .49 and CU Boulder with .58, but ranked Boulder higher in safety, for a lower college town crime rate.

Auraria 's campus has-a low violent crime rate, with only one incident of murder in the last ten years.

In January 1987, MSCD Professor Pamela Mcintyre-Marcum was shot to death in her car by her

estranged husband, who then turned the gun on himself, according to the Auraria Public Safety report.

"The fact that we don't have dorms creates an atmosphere where crime against persons is low," said Connie Besser of APS. In compliance with the Student Right-to-Know and Campus Security Act, colleges are required to distribute an annual security report to all current and prospective students and employees.

According to the U.S. Department of Education, the report has to include the following criminal offenses: Murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, vehicle theft, sexual assault, liquor law violations, drug abuse violations and weapon possession.

The most common crime at Auraria is bicycle theft.

From April to September 1993, 35 bikes were reported stolen on campus. This number has increased 45 percent in the same time frame in 1994, with 51 thefts being reported. One of the assumed reasons for this increase is that last year the Pope was in Denver and security was

tighter. From Aug. 6 to Aug. 20, 1993, not a single bike was stolen.

Auraria Public Safety is combating the rise in bicycle theft by installing more and better bike racks in hightraffic areas. Besser said it is likely, with the onset of cold weather, that car break-ins and personal theft will increase. " We've had problems, specifically with lockers," said Auraria Detective Jerry L. Miller. He also said that most locks are easy to break off with a screwdriver, and he advises students not to keep valuables in their lockers.

Miller said that 75 to 80 percent of crimes at Auraria are committed by people not affiliated with the campus. "They 're predators," said Miller, "they come down to the campus and look for opportunities."

Theft topped September 1994's list of crimes with 16 incidents being reported to APS. Other campus crimes reported included one incident of aggravated assault in Lot E and two incidents of indecent exposure, one in the library and the other in the Science Building.

Little support for changing health insurance Dave Flomberg Staff Writer

路-

The MSCD Student Government Assembly hosted a question and answer forum concerning student health insurance Monday.

The forum centered around the pros and cons of a new proposal to make MSCD 's student health insurance coverage voluntary, as opposed to the current mandatory plan. Support for the voluntary plan was almost nil, as all of the panel members spoke out for the mandatory plan.

The forum was conducted by Amy Haimerl, vice president of student fees.

"When I took over my new position, this was one of the first things to come up," Haimerl said. "When I heard that (MSCD President) Kaplan 's cabinet was looking 1Ua._.:._:__ _:::::;;...:..:.:......-........._.....&..._...._.-.. into this, I said, 'before we go any further, we have to get the students' opinion on this.'"

MSCD student Chad Godinez presses his point at However, not as many students showed up as the Student Heath Fee meeting Monday. planned. More than 10,000 flyers were sent out to fullenthusiastic to be there. time students, and hundreds were passed out on campus, "I disagree with the premise of this forum," said costing from $2,000 to $3,000. Forty-one students Steve Beckley, owner of a national insurance consultanshowed up. cy located in Denver. "The number of uninsured college "I was expecting a larger turnout," Haimerl said. "I students in this country is exploding. Schools with volguess less people came because of the snow, although you can chalk it up to student apathy also. I've done my ' untary insurance are a major cause of this trend."

However, support was high for keeping the current part. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make plan in effect. Those in favor cited high claim filings and him drink." low cost as the benefits.

Those who were at the forum weren't overly " Over $1 million vearlv has been paid out in

claims," said Steve Monaco, director of the Student Health Center. "That means that someone is using the system."

MSCD student Chad Godinez said that the current insurance plan doesn't carry enough coverage, as it stops paying at $25,000. "$25,000 just isn't going to do it," Godinez said. He said that he had to have brain surgery, and now wishes that he had more coverage.

"I believe that the increase in coverage for a minimal cost is good, because believe me, when you discover that you don't have enough coverage, it makes you want to cry," Godinez said. "I have."

Another student in the audience didn't agree with Godinez.

"Why should I have to pay in order for you to be able to file a claim?" said Jon Odalen of College Republicans. "The duty of the school is to educate, not to take care of our colds."

Along with the voluntary proposal was another proposal to increase the current semester premium by $45 for an additional $75,000 of coverage, bringing the total to $100,000.

Beckley pointed out that the difference between an MSCD student's cost and the Clinton health care plan is well over $1,000.

If the voluntary proposal is adopted by President Sheila Kaplan, it will take effect one day before the first day of classes. next fall.

Author Eddy Harris talks with Knight Braun, an MSCD theater major.

Harris was keynote speaker at the Fourth Annual Social Issues Conference Saturday. Harris spoke of the similarities between the struggles black South Africans faced and those faced by minorities in the U.S. He asked the audience of 150 to take a pledge to change, in an effort to dispel discrimination and stereotypes. "If we don't believe we can change people, then I might as well just move to the south of France and say 'forget it,"' Harris said.

Zev Kedem addresses the Tivoli audience Nov. 15, speaking of his life as a one of the 1,100 Jews portraY,ed in the film "Schindler's Ust."

Auschwitz survivor visits Aurari3 campus Becky O'Guln The Metropolitan Only 20 people came to hear Zev Kedem speak of what it was like to grow up in a time that still haunts many of us today.

Kedem, his sister and his mother were among the Jews "bought" by Oskar Schindler during World War II and saved from ·the misery of going to a concentration camp.

Kedem started this speaking tour because of the movie "Schindler's List."

"If it was presented in tlie real truthful light, it shouldn't be made in color, it shouldn't be made in black and white, it should be made all black," Kedem said.

"It selected a story that related truthfully to the event, but if it dealt with all the facts then it would be impossible to show to an ordinary audience. It was brilliant because it dealt with the essential truth and thereby communicated what a totally evil and corrupt environment it is, and it provoked people to consider their own lives in relationship to the film," Kedem said.

Kedem summarized what he learned from his experiences: "Try to celebrate life, not at the expense of others, and try to share one's good fortune with others."

Kedem lost so much in the war. His father and grandfather died in the Holocaust and his adoptive father died shortly after the war. He was separated from his mother for 40 years. He was allowed into Poland only when it became obvious she was dying.

Tivoli catering costly Dave Flomberg Staff Writer

,,

The Food Service Advisory Committee at AHEC has implemented a new catering policy that doesn't cater to all.

The policy states that any event involving 25 or more people and food or drink must be catered by one of six catering companies, which have been selected by the FSAC. The six caterers selected are: Gourmet Alternative, New York Deli, Pour La France, Regency Caterers, Three Tomatoes Catering, and The Daily Grind. According to the policy, these caterers have exclusive rights within the Tivoli, although the policy does -have a grandfather clause allowing organizations with previous contracts with other caterers to use the Tivoli.

"This is what the people really wanted," said Barbara Weiske, director of the Tivoli Student Union.

"People like having a choice." The old system had just one caterer and this way, it's more consumer oriented, she added.

Weiske said that it is necessary to have a small number of caterers with exclusive rights to the Tivoli, because with three institutions on campus, things could easily become confusing.

However, not everyone is as pleased with the new six-caterer conglomeration as Weiske.

Greg Pekul, a member of the International Student Association, is one of these people. ''We were told that any function held in the Tivoli with more than 25 people had to be catered, and had to be catered by one of these places," Pekul said. "Our problem is that we ' ve always had potlucks, and now, this is no longer an option."

The average cost for a simple box lunch from these companies runs between

The swap is sponsored by CoPIRG.

$600 and $800 for a hundred people, which is well over the budget for ISA, said Pekul.

Weiske said that when clubs cater their own functions, they sometimes leave the room in disarray, which can be a problem if the room is booked by another group right after.

"If MSCD books a room until three, and UCD books the same room at four, chances are that there will be problems," Weiske said. •jt's really a disservice to our community."

The FSAC will continue with its sixtiered program for one year, said Weiske.

After that time, the program will be reevaluated, and a decision will be made as to whether or not to continue with six different caterers. "~he Food Service Advisory Committee has been a very professional and very open-minded group," Weiske said. "This is a new concept, and one that I hope will work out."

Merchants concerned over Tivoli parking _ Becky O'Guin The Metropolitan With the holiday season approaching, Tivoli merchants are worried that with the students gone and the high cost of parking, business will cease to exist.

People aren' t going to spend $5 to park at the Tivoli when they can go to the Tabor Center or Cherry Creek and park for free, said Vinton Ervin of On the Air Custom Airbrushing.

Tivoli Merchants and AHEC are working on a proposal that will lower the cost of parking on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays as well as during the semester break. But, several issues have merchants concerned that AHEC management is not on their side.

A tenant meeting was held on Nov. 11, especially to discuss parking.

"We asked specifically after our first tenant meeting that we speak directly to the decision makers so we could avoid

Students stand to benefit if Tivoli

merchants make money. "The more successful our retailers are, the more money they put into the bond fund," said Kersten Ke ith, an MSCD representative to SACAB. Keith is referring to the $18 million in bonds students voted to issue for the lease purchase and renovation of the Tivoli. Money to pay the bondholders comes from the Auraria Book Center, retailers, Sigi's and student fees.

The Boiler Room, AMC Theater and Morton's have the best parking validation. They negotiated in their leases with the Hahn Company, the former Tivoli owners, to h ave comp parking for all their customers, which frustrates new tenants who did not negotiate that option.

"Considering we all signed our leases ... Auraria doesn't have to do anything for us," Chantler said. "I think Tivoli management on the whole is receptive to our concerns and ideas."

Students well informed on '94 election '

Poor news coverage and negative ads far from No. 1 source of info on ballot issues and ·candidates David Thompson The Metropolitan MSCD students who voted in last week's election said they were informed in their decisions, but that the media should have explained more ballot issues, and the information should have been easier to find.

Most of the students followed the amendments in the daily newspapers, but they said that to get an unbiased view and more information they needed to read several sources. Most said ballot issues could have been explained better.

"I don't think that the media did a good enough job covering what was going to be on the ballot," said Michelle Jensen, 23, an MSCD senior majoring in journalism. "They need to explain more in-depth on what the issues mean."

Other students said the papers could have used other methods to make the voting process easier and quicker.

"The newspapers could have given

'I don't think the media did a good enough Job covering what was going to be on the ballot.'

- Michelle Jensen MSCDSenlor sample ballots," said Amy MacKenzie, 27, an MSCD senior majoring in history.

Melena Archuleta, 26, an MSCD junior, said she was confused by media coverage, especially radio and TV. She said she went to the library to get information for the election.

"If you are not willing to take the time to get the information at the Library, then you are not going to be an informed voter," said Archuleta.

Some students s~id the political

commercials were a letdown rather than informative, because they told only about a candidate's faults instead of what they could do for their constituents.

"It was depressing because of the ripping that each side did," said Eric Cross, 22, an MSCD sophomore.

Even though it may have been tough finding the information to make a decision, most of the students were satisfied with the outcome of the election.

"I think that it's time that term limits passed," Jensen said.

Amendment 17 was one of the few ballot initiatives to pass. It limits the number of terms that politicians can be voted into office. By limiting terms, new ideas and less corruption will result, according to supporters.

Of the students interviewed, the overall opinion is that President Clinton will have a tough time getting his job done, but there will be more of a balance between the social and economic welfare of the country.

Voting records not so private Ed Kraus

Attention Jewish Students:

There's a club just for you on campus!!

Only 39 of the 252,240 registered voters in Denver can honestly claim their voting records are private.

While whom a person votes for remains private information, any information recorded in voter registration records is public record and available to anyone for the asking. These 39 individuals request~d that their personal information be protected. Their names are public record, but no other information may be released.

Driving records, vehicle registration and voter registration information may be protected under a law passed three years ago.

According to Davis, most people on the list aren't victims who are in hiding, but rather public officials and professionals.

Mudslinger takes another hit There is a great difference between critiquing a play and posturing as a critic. Critiquing requires exacting praise or exacting criticism, citing of specific instances and suggestion of exact improvements. Posturing needs only vague opinion. Critiquing advances all.

Posturing serves but one.

MSCD presented "Quilters," the lives of Americar;i pioneer women in two acts. It's a play relatively new to stages, having been available for only 10 years or so, and presents for that reason unique problems and opportunities. Blocking, character interpretation, props, set design, scdring, lighting, sound, costuming all require tremendous imagination and energy as few guiding cues exist from hundreds of others' interpretation.

However, newer shows tax directors, cast, and crews more than the "forever" runs most audiences know. If for no other reason than that, MSCD's recent interpretation should be respected_Happily, though, there was more to praise than bravery.

The blend of voices of the seven cast ladies was unusual and

delightful, each actress flexing between soprano and alto as the score required (the ranges most notably heard in Theresa Darrell's resonances and Mandy Wilkins' consistency) . Lisa Winkler's perfect pitch pinpointed the others' voices.

The acting varied in execution, but never dipped below "good" at a collegiate level. Sarah Johnson looked from under brows, head canted, one too many times, but corrected that in act two with obvious discipline. B.J. Gerhard's face was excited identically several times, again in act one, but displayed appropriate defeat, forlorn hope, acceptance and caring in act two. Andra Wasalik's 'Why I Never Married" delivery was carefully restrained, and Frances Armstrong's cowboy comedy exaggeration was timed well to the audience's response.

Casting was accurate, each actress showing her due fairly, according to their part and position on stage, exemplifying the term "ensemble."

Costumes, lighting and set hues were coordinated, orchestration was crisp, and sound quality

was excellent for the "baby box" sized theater. Yet, most praise should be reserved for the blocking: character positioning and movement on stage. Moving actors in natural patterns, maintaining action, always presenting a properly unbalanced tableau, and still directing sound and expression to the "third wall" audience is a killer task.

Director Dr. M. Hetzel is unexcelled in her artistic and functional stage presentations. The play moved, focused, paused appropriately and expanded over the performance floor constantly.

"Quilters" was an excellent college play, and a darn good professional expression. Anyone attending without admission charge enjoyed an incredible payback, and those who paid admission were still richened. Most of all, those attending "Quilters" supported a cast struggling hard to learn a craft and encouraged students daring to "show it all." Never should people so committed, so brave, be so unappreciated.

Editors Note:

Just a quick note to express my appreciation for the "Son of Mef' insert in the Oct. 21 issue of The Metropolitan. I have been a student on this campus for more years than I care to mention. Until your issue, the papers from all three schools have been less than exciting with their music coverage.

Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks. I am looking forward to the next issue.

If I have to read one more bitch by Cheryl Murphy I'll absolutely vomit twice and croak! It is bad enough to have to read her twice in The Met. What is she doing calling The Whine Line at the Rocky? Can't she get a life? At least tell her to use a fake name or try shooting up a little Dilaudid. That'll mellow her out!

Please eighty-six Cheryl Murphy from the editorial pages. Or else!

Bell Curve rally was just a joke In the past three days I have heard a lot of people claim that Charles Murray, author of The Bell Curve is the most racist man in America today. The essence of bad versus good was on our campus to give a speech. So we held a demonstration to show the state of Colorado what we thought of this embodiment of small-minded mentality. We're educated, straightforward, and a moral bunch of folks, right? So on with the campuswide protest. Let's see now, about 75 or 100 strong showed up, (and that's counting people who were just walking by). The demonstrators held up several signs and sang to cleverly inspired expressions denouncing racism in our society. That should terminate Murray's influence and stupidity.

As I listened to the chanters I heard: "Two-four-six-eight - let's stop the hate." Boy that should do it. I'm sure with that type of cerebrally challenging discourse we will convert all the -ignorant, narrow-minded, dogmatic, prejudiced, bigoted, racist people in the world over to our belie~ system.

After all, we are humanistic, caring, sensitive, open-minded, activist oriented, and let's-change-the-world human

beings, right? This will ultimately make the world a more harmonious place in which we can all ride off into the sunset together, right?

Let me see - a little math here. If there are approximately 35,000 students on campus, and let's say for argument's sake that only one half really care about racial equality and other such petty matters, that comes to about 17,500 students. Then ten percent of that population would be 1,750 people. No, that's way too many. W1e can't expect that many citizens to care about such prosaic and mundane matters as the subjugated and suppressed people in our society.

OK, how about five percent. That's only about 875 people. Still too many?

OK, how about one percent. Just one little percent? That would only be 175 people. Still too many? Yeah, I guess so. We don't want to stretch ourselves too much here. Obviously, that's far too many also. OK, how about 1/2 percent. Just one half of one percent of the students on this campus. Yeah - that's it. Five tenths of one percent. Now these are the people who really care, right? Oh let's not be sarcastic. NOT BE SARCASTIC?

Look at the indisputable fact. Out of a campus student population of approximately 35,000 people, or 17,500 if you don't want figures to look really pathetic, only 75 to 100 students and faculty, one half of one percent, could come out and protest.

Prior to Murray's speech, out of all the people who were loudly and fervently denouncing what he stands for, you mean to tell me only 75 or so were audacious enough to stand out in front of the television cameras and reject what they believe to be the selling of hate? How dare those 75 think that more of the 35,000 pseudo-intellectuals should be cognizant of, or care about this?

What these numbers tell me is that the people who didn't show up,· but who strutted around, stuck out their chests and mouthed off, are really just petty, shallow little people regurgitating their brand of politically correct diarrhoetic dribble so they won't be identified as the certain specimens they are. Not to sound cynical or anything, but surely the majority of the other 35,000 compassionate human beings who were not there, really care about the malignancy of hate, right?

•

•

The truth is, they really don't care.

They don't want to get involved, but they have to look like they do to protect their narcissistic and barren lives.

So, we'll do it the all-American way.

We'll give lip service to, or throw money at, the problem (now they feel good) , but we won't get actively involved or put ourselves out in any matter. After all (I can hear the excuses now), it was cold, it was getting late, etc.

If you talk the talk, then walk the walk. If all you do is babble politically correct statements, and you refuse to commit to anything other than for your immediate pleasure, then you are as ignoble, nefarious, unsophisticated and retarded as the issues and people you supposedly denounce. Get off your ass, do something that makes a difference in the real world. Shut up and stop with your spurious, insincere protestations and accept Murray's world. Because baby - YQU made it the way it is.

"How many good flying saucers does it take to prove they're real?" Friedman asked the audience.

"One." The study also concluded that the better the observation, the more likely it was to be an unknown, Friedman said.

"If the unknowns weren't aircraft, they weren't balloons, they weren't astronomical miscellaneous, etcetera," he asked, "what out of this world were they?"

Friedman said UFOs can be identified as alien craft by their appearance and behavior.

The objects are usually round and metallic with protuberances that could be landing gear or decorations, he said. They are more wide than thick and anywhere from 10 to 150 feet in diameter.

He said some observers had reported "mother ships" that were twice the size of aircraft carriers and that the size alone should tell people that they are not of this planet. He also said that these objects could not be from Earth because they would hover, make tight turns at high speeds and had been clocked on radar at speeds of 8,000 miles per hour. The objects made no sound and had no external engines or wings.

No government on Earth could have built these, he said, because if they had, they would no longer be flying planes like F-16s.

Friedman said there are stars in the universe 5 billion years older than our sun. It's likely that there are other beings out there who had a inuch earlier start than humans in the evolution game, and it's likely they have developed the technology to travel ·long distances, he said.

So why haven't they dropped down and said hello?

Friedman said this is most likely because they view humans as an inferior race that engages in tribal warfare.

Friedman said the real question is, ''Never mind the saucers, did you see the guys who were driving?"

The Metropolitan/Andy

"How many good flying saucers does it take to prove they're real?" asks UFOiogist Stanton T. Freidman. The answer? "One." To further support the theory that there is other life, Friedman used the stories of Betty and Barney Hill and ~he alleged saucer crash in New Mexico. ' The Hills were a New England couple that claim they were abducted by a UFO while driving home the night of Sept. 16, 1961. They were unable to recall two hours of their night.

Under hypnosis, each told the story of being in a flying saucer and being tested by aliens. Betty claimed to have spoken with the leader of the ship, who was kind enough to show her where the aliens lived on a three-

dimensional map. She drew a map of the system after a hypnosis session. Years later, a map of stars published

by The New York Times revealed that such a place could exist.

The other story was of a saucer crash in southern New Mexico. On July 4, 1947, a man named W.W. Brazel saw something crash on the plains near Corona.

He thought it was a military plane. Brazel traveled to the crash site the next day with a man named William Proctor. What they found was the debris from a crashed saucer.

Brazel told stories of a piece of the wreckage that appeared to be wood, but could not be cut or burned and was made of something that was like foil but would return to its original state after being crumpled.

The Air Force was called to check things out and, many believe, started one of the biggest government coverups in history.

The story of the crash was picked up by United Press International and was appearing in newspapers across the country. Earlier editions of papers had the military admitting the debris was that of a flying saucer, but later editions have the military claiming the wreckage was simply radar equipment of a crashed weather balloon.

There are also stories from people in the area of alien bodies being at the sight - two dead, one dying, and one lllive. These bodies were supposedly taken to a nearby military base. Glenn Dennis, a mortician in Roswell, N.M., said he received a call from the military base about information on embalming and spoke to a nurse at the base who told a tale of autopsies on alien bodies.

Friedman has written a book on the flying saucers in New Mexico called "Crash at Corona."

Friedman concluded his lecture with various pictures of flying saucers.

between t served wo-star1701-A,

and the crew that serves under Captain Jean-Luc Picard on the Enterprise 1701-D. The movie opens 71 years before the events of "Star Trek: Next Generation," with the christening of the third starship to bear the name Enterprise NCC 1701-B. Kirk, who has recently come out of retirement, accompanies the ship's young commander, Capt.

Harriman (Alan Ruck, who played Cameron in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off"), on the maiden voyage of the Enterprise-B.

left), and Lt. Cmdr. Data (Brent Spiner) scan maps in the terprise 1701-0.

During the mission, the unprepared ship and crew receive a distress call from a pair of freighters trapped by a mysterious "energy ribbon." After several mishaps they manage to save some of the passengers, including Guinan (Whoopi Goldberg), who will become Picard's confidante, and Dr. Soran, the movie's villain. The rescue's price is high, however; the crew of the EnterpriseB believes that Kirk was killed when the energy ribbon hit the ship.

The story then moves to the time of the EnterpriseD under the command of Picard. After a series of events the Next Generation Crew uncovers a plot by Soran to destroy the sun, Meridian, of an inhabited system.

Guinan aids Picard by recounting the prior events aboard the Enterprise-B to help him understand Soran's motives. Picard recruits Kirk, who history has recorded as dead, to help stop Soran. In the process, Kirk is killed.

The major theme of "Star Trek: Generations" is loss and how people cope with losses. The whole of the movie orients around this theme. The lighting on board the Enterprise-D is darker and more somber than on the Next Generation series leaving an atmosphere of brooding. · The special effects are outstanding and lend to the strong realism of the overall production. The great effects used to create Stellar Cartography, a room on the Enterprise-D, may be lost against the backdrop of the wonders of outer space. Here Picard and Data manipulate three dimensional maps to chart the course of the space ribbon and figure out Soran 's plans.

Music, as always, is well scored, and adds to the atmosphere. The major change from the older Star Trek movies is found in the opening credits. The music of the six prior films possessed a grand, epic quality. The opening score of "Star Trek: Generations" is softer and slower than its predecessors, adding to the overall feel of remorse.

The writing, overall, has much more of a Next Generation feel to it than the old Star Trek. The movie

contains several subplots, including the android crew member, Data, receiving emotions, and Picard mourning the loss of his brother and nephew.

Guest roles include the two reappearing Klingon women from Deep Space 9 trying to take over the world, although their own stupidity once again gets in their way.

William Shatner is vintage Kirk, and his interaction with Patrick Stewart (Picard) is hilarious. Be on the lookout for a statement against female drivers in the movie: The one time Counselor Troi flies the ship, it crashes.

However, the movie also contains several problems.

First, "Star Trek: Generations" may be difficult to understand for those uninitiated to the history of Trek.

The history of the starships Enterprise becomes convoluted to those who have not followed both series.

Second, director David Ca,rson shows his inexperience in this film. Carson has never directed a major motion picture prior to this - only television, theater and documentaries. The plot lags at times and becomes confusing in others. The movie also never quite gains the momentum, or possesses the chutzpa, of its predecessor "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country," directed by Nicholas Meyer.· Third, Kirk dies in an incredibly stupid and anticlimactic way. After all of the adventures he survived, all of the near-death experiences, you would think that they would come up with a better way to kill him off. This error is compounded by the worst last words ever uttered by a dying character in a major motion picture: " It was fun."

Lukewarm, best describes "Star Trek: Generations."

It is a transitional piece that will hopefully pave the way for stronger Next Generation movies in the future. The whole project seems to have a rushed feel. Hopefully, "Star Trek: Voyager," which premieres as a television movie in January, will not show the same reckless abandon of "Generations."

It's microbrew heaven on Broadway The Broadway Brewing Company has a beer to cure what ales you or anyone else Donna Hickey Staff Writer The Broadway Brewing Company is a brew pub with a coffee-house feel. This is a place you'll want to tell only your closest friends about.

The warm hardwood floor and beige walls don't give much away. This place is rich with conversation, smiles and inexpensive microbrewed beer.

It is the "Cheers" for college students, bike messengers and restaurant employees. The prices and atmosphere reflect a Generation Xers working-class feel.

The friendly staff consists of Chip Adams, Brian Sommatino, Scott Turnnidge and LeeAnne Whelpdale.

Brian is the Tom Cruise of the house. He makes you feel like you're reliving "Cocktail."

Scott designed one of the guest brews, Church Yard Ale, and brews the house beers for bottling, kegging and distribution.

Chip helps run the place and helped to build the bar. He's the best at remembering the names

of his regulars.

The Broadway Brewing Co., 2441 Broadway, serves lunch Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Their featured chicken is ready at 11 :30 a.m.

The fare consists of sandwiches, pizza and LeeAnne's rotisserie chicken. Her chicken recently won a taste test in competition with Boston and Kentucky Fried Chicken rotisserie. Blindfolded Denver journal is ts unanimously chose LeeAnne's as the best.

The Broadway Brewing Co. serves food in the evening until about 9 p.m . Chip sa id that eventually the pub may start serving food until later in the evening when the riemand for it picks up.

The Broadway Brewing Co. brews and sells the house beers in addition to serving food as the law requires. The house brews are Railyard Ale, Doggie Style Ale, Red Lady Ale and White Buffalo Peace Ale. Chip said that Colorado is the Napa Valley of microbrewed beer.

The art on the walls is by

Def Phiche. His photos of graffiti in Manhattan add to the comfort of your own-homekitchen feel. The entertainment consists of four TV sets suspended from the ceiling and Digital Music Express: DMX is 30 channels of commercial-free music that's usually set to an alternative program. There's no jukebox, but so far the piped-in tunes seem to accompany the suds in righteous style.

Catch the Sunday happy hour: $2.50 for guest microbrews. The house beers are $1.50, every day, for the time being.

Courier night on Tuesdays has already attracted a bevy of bike messengers, who find the Broadway a friendly place to stop in at the end of their routes.

The new trio of managers - all under age 25 - are planning to remove a few tables to make room for a bicycle rack.

LeeAnne noted that operating a bar without a jukebox has advantages.

"This way we don't have to listen to "Bittersweet" 20 times a night," she said.

A new era in men's basketball kicked off Tuesday night as the new-look Roadrunners held an intersquad scrimmage at the Auraria Events Center.

Under the leadership of new coach Charles Bradley, MSCD unveiled a quick, young team that plays a constant pressure defense and loves to score fast-break baskets. It's a style that the Roadrunners must play due to the lack of team size.

"We're not as big as we were last year," junior guard Bobby Banks said. "So that means we will run more."

Run they did. The White team comprised of Banks, Antione Lewis, Justin Land, Marcus Weathersby, David Harris, and Matt Lund, score.d 92 points on .639 shooting and forced 22 turnovers in the game. Banks was 3-3 from three-point-land and had 16 points.

"We don't have the pure shooters this year, but we'll fight to get our shooters good shots," Banks said.

The White team was led

by Land, a junior forward who transferred from Eastern Wyoming Junior ColJege. Land scored a game ' high 23 points and had a thunderous, driving dunk in the second half.

Junior transfer Antione Lewis had 14 points and dished the rock like it was a grenade, totaling 10 assists in 34 minutes of action.

Lewis said defense would be the teams strength this season.

In a state as landlocked as any in the nation, swimming is not a sport that gets much attention or respect.

But earJy in the season, MSCD's swimming team, which is low in numbers, is trying to change that.

The Roadrunner teams, who have just 11 swimmers on both the men's and women's sides each stand at 1-1 in dual meets after the wome~ picked up a 128-94 win against the University of Denver and the men lost 129-96 to the Pioneers on Nov.11.

"We swam really well for not getting much rest," said coach Rob Nasser. "This week, we'll try to rest a ljttle bit."

The lack of swimmers hurts the team's overall score, as it offers less chances to place swimmers and score points. However, the fast times are scored individually, so MSCD still has several of the league's fast times early in ttie season.

"It's going to be tough in dual meets because of our numbers," Nassar said. "We have 11 on each side, men and women, while other schools have from 15 up to 24 or 25 on each side."

Against DU, the women did not suffer from lack of numbers, picking up a 124-94 win while losing just one event. "[think we'll do real well individually, and that's what counts," said MSCD swimmer Tori Ainlay. "We're maybe not getting our best results yet, but we're making progress, and the times will drop a lot." _ Tori Ainlay, Xandi Ainlay, and Nicole DeJulio each won two individual events, while Angela Hillstein and Kelly Davis each won one.

In addition, relay teams picked up wins in the 100 medley relay (5:00.32) and 400 free relay (4:31.37).

Although the men lost against DU, swimmer Linc Carlton agrees the low numbers ·will not affect the success of the team.

"It has no affect on times and that's what counts," Carlton said.

Against DU, the men picked up three individual wins, with Darwin Strickland, Eddie Lory, and Scott Watson each picking up first place finishes, while the 400 medley relay team won with a time of 4:13.06.

Overall, the Roadrunners have reigned over other teams, holding the fastest time iii the league in 10 of 35 events.

Both teams resume their season today, as they travel to Greeley to face Northern Colorado.

(317). Great career Crissy, you will be missed.

So sorry

Congrats part deux

Last week we identified the woman in the basketball photo as Shiloh Justice when, in fact, it was Amy Freeman.

Sorry Shiloh. Sorry Amy. Promise it won't happen again.

Memorable

Congrats Crissy Canada was named CAC player of the year fo; her outstanding final season at MSCD. Canada's legacy will live on in the record books because she took over the top spot as the all-time MSCD leader in kllls (1493), block assists (447)~' and block solo's

Chelsea Terrell was named to the second team CAC allconference team. Nice job.

MSCD will be without the services of Terrell, Julie Haynes, Katie Horvat, Elie Moya and Leslie Weed as they have completed their careers.

You will all be missed.

Speed Darwin Strickland is in his last season on the men's swimming team and hopes to better his fourth and sixth place finish at nationals last season in the

50 and 100 meter freestyle.

Strickland's best times in those events this season are 21.38 and 48.14. His nationals times were 20.92 and 45.41. Don't fret swim fans, it's still very early and swimmers peak at season's end. Strickland's times are the season's fastest to date.

Sister sister The Ainlay sisters, Tori and Xandi are leading the way for the women' s swim team.

Tori has the season's fastest 50 and 100 meter freestyle at 25.84 and 57.08 while Xandi is the speedster in the 200 and 500 meter freestyle with times of2:04.18 and 5:35.16.
