-. Flier: Investigation produces few answers Louis A. Landa News Editor The distribution of 24 fliers containing derogatory language on campus have sparked a fir;storm of racial controversy that continues to burn.

The fliers, titled "Stop the Mexican Invasion," presented a tirade of racial epithets promoting a violent halt to illegal Mexican immigration. The fliers first appeared on campus Dec. I. A coalition of on-campus and offcampus Latino groups organized a protest that packed the office of Metro President Sheila Kaplan. The group of approximately 150 students, faculty, administrators and citizens converged on the office Dec. 2. They demanded an immediate and thorough investigation of the matter.

Auraria Public Safety is-currently conducting an investigation into the fliers' origin, and Rep. Pat Schroeder has asked Attoi:ney General Janet Reno to look into and forward the matter to the FBI. Spearheading the investigation for Auraria is APS Detective Jerry Miller.

APS established a "Hotline" for people with any information about the flier. The number is 556-COPS. Miller said two calls have come in; one by someone claiming to be a member of "Students Against the Brown Peril," and another notifying him of similar fliers being distributed at John F. Kennedy High School.

"I've received a phone call from someone I believe to be from that group," Miller said. He said the caller said the flier was an exercise in free speech and was distributed to counter the political correctness on campus.

Miller said the only legal violation is that the fliers were improperly posted.

"There is nothing criminal in what they did," Miller said.

Percy A. Morehouse, Jr., director of the Equal Opportunity Office at Metro, agrees laws may not have been broken.

"However, separate from the legal issues there are some· ethical and moral issues," he said.

Antonio Esquibel, director of Community Outreach for Metro said he thinks this is all tied into a bigger issue.

"In times of economic hardships the country looks for someone to blame," Esquibel said. "It's tied to this whole conservative agenda in terms of immigration reform ... where we are bashing people who can least defend themselves."

The controversy over the flier has spread to the community, getting attention from the local media; it was a featured topic on KOA radio's talk show hosted by Mike Rosen, Jan. 3. Rosen's guest was Tom Tancredo, president of the Independence Institute, a free-market public-policy think tank based in Golden.

The Institute and former U.S. Consul General Donald Casteel have joined to offer a $2,000 reward for information leading to the identification of those individuals behind the flier. They made their announcement during an immigration debate held on campus Dec. 14.

The Institute, along with the Hispanics of Colorado, a Latino advocacy organization, and the Rocky Mountain News, sponsored the debate. Topics included Proposition 187. California voters passed Proposition 187. in November.

This law will deny welfare, education and non-emergency health benefits to illegal immigrants.

The Metropofitan'Nlkolas Wllets Subsequent letters from groups claiming to be behind the flier say part of MEDIA WATCH: Metro Professor Ramon Del Castillo addresses the media their agenda is to sponsor similar legislaprior to the march on Metro President Shella Kaplan's office early Dec. 2. tion in Colorado.

Former Colorado governor welcomes immigration debate · >

..

Louis A. Larida News Editor Former Colorado Gov. Dick Lamm has long been outspoken on the subject of illegal immigration. Lamm participated in a forum on the Auraria Campus in which four panel members discussed the issues of immigration and the passage of Proposition 187 in California. This new California law will deny welfare, education and nonemergency health care benefits to illegal immigrants. The forum was sparked by the recent distribution of racist fliers on campus.

Gov. Lamm currently serves as the director of the Center for Public Policy and Contemporary Issues at the University ofDenver.

LANDA: Is it true that during the forum on Proposition 187 you were accused of being linked to the racist flier distributed on campus?

LAMM: One of the speakers said that the flier was probably inspired by my book that I wrote on immigration. They were tying me to the pamphlet in that way.

Then he went down that list of things on the flier and said this is what Lamm's book was about.

LANDA: I can't imagine there can be any associa-

tion between this flier and your book or views.

J,AMM: Well, my first job out of law school was as a civil rights lawyer. I appointed the first Hispanic cabinet head in the history of Colorado. Our family marched in Selma (Alabama). I may be wrong on immigration, but it's pretty hard to make the case that I haven't done as much or more in the civil rights movement than Professor Esquibel.

LANDA: How do you see the debate forming on immigration following the passage of Proposition 187 in California? What you have written and said about it leads me to think you are one of the few people looking at this without making it a racial issue. Do you see people looking at this debate from just a personal and racial stand point?

LAMM: That's an interesting question, Louis. There are many views on this. I can see why people of good faith differ. I don't think many people have sat in my position and tried to balance a state budget and not realized you have to make some hard choices. I wish we were a country rich enough not to have to make these difficult choices, but I know if we want to get a health care bill through we must restrict it to people who are legally

Growth presents challenge for Auraria Christopher Anderson Senior Staff Writer In an attempt to prevent crowding students like sardines in a can, the Auraria Higher Education Center is looking at ways to accommodate a projected enrollment explosion.

The Colorado Commission on Higher Education is predicting a state-wide 23,000 increase in full-time student enrollment by the year 2001. Colorado higher education currently serves 106,000 students, and nearly 30,000 of them attend Auraria.

According to a report by the CCHE, the increase is caused, in part, by the children of the baby boomer generation.

Another reason, according to the report, is an influx of people moving into Colorado at a rate of 1.5 percent annually for the rest of the decade.

Many of the new students will be coming to an already overcrowded Auraria campus, said JoAnn Soker, executive vice president of administration to the Auraria Board.

"We know from our 1989 master plan that there were, even then, very serious deficiencies in what we have available in tenns of space," Soker said.

Soker said the money the state gave for the renovation of the Tivoli Student Union is a sign it is aware of Auraria's needs. The space now provided by the Plaza Building helps, but there is a defi-

The Metropolitan/Andy Cross

BIG PLANS:The Auraria Campus tennis courts could be replaced by an AMC movie theater expansion If current plans continue. nite need for faculty offices and performing-art space, Soker said.

"So, we have two issues before us," she said. "One is how do we get what we need just in general, and secondly, accommodate increased enrollment?"

AHEC will first ascertain from each institution its _prediction of on-campus students, what facilities they need classrooms, labs, art, etc. And based on those numbers, AHEC will determine the

amount of parking space, police, child care, buildings and other support services students will need. Then, in spring of 1996, AHEC will submit a request to the CCHE asking the state legislature to fund these needs.

AHEC will' request $13 million from the state legislature this spring to repair campus facilities that are in dire need of repair. Only $1 million is expected to be approved from the request.

The state legislature is currently hammering out ways to make higher education more efficient without having to create more space.

Some of the ideas to ensure students graduate in eight semesters, proposed by a combination of educators, state legislators and CCHE are: · • Requiring the first two years of college be delivered at two year colleges.

• Reducing the amount of time spent on winter and summer breaks.

• Punishing schools by waiving tuition for a student who can't enroll in a required course because it is filled.

• Increasing the use of satellite campuses.

• Charging in-state students out-ofstate tuition after enough credits have been amassed for a degree, with a 15 credit buffer provided.

• Changing the funding fonnula for four year colleges. (This could mean more money for Metro.)

Other AHEC matters to watch for: An AMC Theater Expansion: A free standing building may annex the current theater overtaking the tennis courts.

Tennis Courts: The AMC annex will force the courts to be moved elsewhere and may be remade smaller. AMC is to fund this move.

Traffic Safety: AHEC and the City and County of Denver has hired a consultant to conduct a study of the busy thoroughfares surrounding campus.

in this country.

Is 187 the best solution? No. I was very clear that I was not there supporting 187. I think we need some way, like a counter proof social security card, so when somebody applies for we~­ fare and they have this card that can be swiped through a credit card type machine we know if that person is legally in the country. But I don't think that we are rich enough as a country to extend our social programs to people who are not here legally.

LANDA: Do you think it is just an easy way out for those who oppose 187 to immediately play the racism card?

LAMM: Yes, I guess I do. I argue it this way. You remember from economics Gresham's law is where bad money drives out good money? It seems to me there is a Gresham's law of language. Where if you say racism too much, I think people are just turning off. It used to be that that was the most stinging thing you could say about a non-minority, but it is said so much now that most people shrug it off. That's a shame. It sho~ld remain a term of approbation; a term of disgust. So many people use it in so many contexts. People may disagree on immigration, but there have been four national polls showing that an overwhelming percentage of Hispanics want fewer immigrants.

An illegal alien is not going to compete for my job. So I'm not threatened. But if you are working for $10 an hour, you are.

This is how I originally got interested in the question of illegal immigration. There was a packing plant in Denver that fired its work force which was almost all Hispanic Coloradoans and they hired illegal aliens. I said, "Wait a minute, this is crazy!" You hire illegal immigrants and you don't have to pay them as much, you don't have to pay them health benefits, you don't have to follow the wage an hour rule. Because of this, polls show that most Hispanics, while sympathetic, don't want more immigrants. There are limits to the number of people we can absorb into our economy without undercutting our own workers. When people say this is racist, they have to start by explaining why most Hispanics are in favor of the same thing I'm in favor of.

LANDA: I see the same tr'!nd you do. That the terms bigotry and raciSJI?. seem to be losing their meaning to the point where we are not going to be able to identify real racism when we see it.

LAMM: Amen.

LANDA:: Well, it bothers me. I saw it recently with the case of Horace Mann Middle School Vice Principle Ruben Perez.

Regardless of his motives, the initial criticism you hear was that he was racist, or this was a racist act on his part.

LAMM: I think that is another good example. He can be profoundly mistaken, but you have to play that (racist) card carefully, and when there is real validity to it. There are many good-faith mistakes people make. But in the immigration debate you have to look at the fact that 80 percent of the people that come in legally under our immigration laws are non-European.

It's pretty hard to say we have a racist immigration policy when 80 percent of the people come from Asia, Sou~ America or Africa. We have the most open immigration policy in the world.

My concern is not ethnicity. I worry about where your generation is going to get jobs.

The U.S. Labor Department says we are going to create 18 million new jobs in the next 10 years, but we're going to bring in 13 million immigrants. Now tell me that makes sense.

TICKING TIME BOMB: Lamm's book on immigration has raised the Ire of many Colorado Latinos.

LANDA: Even without immigration we are going to have an increase in population.

LAMM: Exactly. Are employers desperately looking for employees at Metro? On the contrary. People are getting out of college and they can't find a job. Now in the low end of things I argue that an illegal immigrant is ~e greatest thing since a slave for some employers. If you can hire somebody for four dollars an hour and not pay them health benefits and make them work like hell and they are scared as hell, well, illegal immigrants are great workers.

How do all the other countries get along without them?

Europe and Japan must have the same problem. They have low income work and they fill those jobs with their own people.

Now why does the Unites States, alone among nations, somehow need illegal immigrants to run its economy?

LANDA: It seems those opposing 187 and those examining immigration in general can't differenti_ate between immigration and illegal immigration.

LAMM: Illegal immigrants cut th~ line. There are many people waiting patiently to get into this country legally.

Immigration needs a good debate and it needs to cover things like what are the job implications for your generation? What's the job implication to America? It needs a debate. The fastest way to stop a debate is to call each other names.

Winter break chills business at Tivoli Kevin Juhasz Senior Staff Writer A lack of student green meant a blue Christmas for many of the Tivoli Student Union merchants. Business at the shops decreased significantly during the winter break.

The hardest hit was Primo Pizza. Restaurant owner Mike Kedkad said his business dropped 90 percent after the students left.

Kedkad was forced to lay off two of his kitchen staff in order to help keep costs down. He will also have to pay to train new employees now that students are returning and business will increase.

"We lost a lot of money on the break not only due to the sales, but due to the situation, we had to let a lot of people go," he said.

Another business that noticed a significant decrease was The Daily Grind. Bryian Pimental, the deli and bakery manager, said that their drop was at least 75 percent.

The Daily Grind gave employees shifts at their other locations rather than lay them off.

On the Air, a T-shirt shop on the north side of the Tivoli, saw a 65 percent decrease. Owner Don Gon;iez said, "We were hurting before the break because a lot of people didn't even know that we were in here. We were getting a little bit better and then the student break hit and it dived."

Business at the New York Deli dropped by about 50 percent, according to manager Kevin Sigmund. The Deli was expecting a significant drop, Sigmund said, and they were able to reduce their staff enough to account for the loss in business.

"That didn't hurt them because it was the holidays

and most of them wanted to go home anyway," he said.

The business that fared the best was The Boiler Room. Owner Lawrence Gonzales said that business during the night stayed the same and there was only a 30 percent drop in lunch business.

The movie theater was a big help. Most of the shops said that the majority of their business over the break was from movie crowds.

The only place that didn't experience a significant decrease was Sigi' s Billiards and Cabaret. Dennis Bryan, who manages Sigi' s, reported a decrease of only I. I percent during the break.

Sigi' s is part of the Auraria Higher Education Center and does not have a rent payment like other businesses. However, all of the profits from Sigi's go to pay off the Tivoli bonds. The shops only pay a percentage of their profits.

Survival of the businesses is important to students. _, Losing the businesses would mean student fees would have to be increased to pay off the bonds.

Kedkad thought it would help businesses if rent was reduced during student breaks.

"I think they should do something about the break times, because it's just not working out," he said.

Elsa Vreeland, director of retail operations at Hammond' s, suggested more creative advertising and The Metropolitan/Jane Raley promotions to attract the movie crowd. The ice cream SWEET TOOTH: A customer makes her selec· and candy shop saw a decrease of about 50 percent. ti on "St Hammonds Ice Cream and Candy Shop.

Defendants named in Metro's salary inequity lawsuit have until Jan. 31 to respond to charges of contract violation.

The defendants; Metro, The Board of Trustees of the State Colleges in Colorado, and The Colorado Commission on Higher Education, were granted an extension to respond to charges filed by 83 Metro faculty in the Denver District Court on Dec. 12.

According to court records, the three defendants failed to follow contractual procedure for adjusting Metro faculty pay equity and parity. This is the relationship between pay for longtime and newlyhired professors at Metro, and adjustments to pay based on performance evaluations, experience, education and discipline as directed in the Faculty Handbook.

Larry Tannenbaum, senior assistant attorney general, filed the extension request on behalf of the defendants. He states that a number of pressing litigation and business matters have prevented him from spending the time it will take to look into the allegations.

"He has not had any time available to conduct such research since he received this case for defense," the document states.

In addition, the document states that Tannenbaum will take a two-week annual leave at the end of December.

Steven Murray, the attorney for the faculty, said such delays are fairly common and as a matter of courtesy, he has no objection to Tannenbaum's request.

"It's not an unusual procedure at all, particularly when holidays are involved," Murray ~aid.

Although the plaintiffs have until month's end to file a response, Murray said it is unlikely that the case will go to trial before June.

"In a way, the case is really in its infancy," Murray said. ''The possibility of having a trial within the next six months is improbable."

Murray said the next step in the suit will be the review of the defendants• response and the exchange of information between the prosecution and defense called the "discovery phase."

Murray said that as with any suit, out-of-court settlement is a possibility as well, but it's too early to make any speculations about the probability of settling without a trial.

For many of the faculty named as plaintiffs in the case, waiting for a settlement has been a long, tedious process.

"We're kind of in limbo," said Norm Pence, a Metro Computer Science professor and grievant in the suit.

Metro professors first brought the case to court in 1992 but it was rejected because it was determined that they had not exhausted in-house grievance procedures.

Spanish: Metro students helping

••

Continued from page 3 "If you can be completely literate and fluent in your own language that proves to you that you can do it in another " Aliaga said. ' The goal of the program is to help Spanish speaking adults become literate in their own language so that they can then learn English, said David Mirich of DPS Bilingual and English as a Second Language departments.

"These parents would love to learn English, but research shows very clearly that it is virtually impossible to acquir~ a second language. proficiency without a good foundation of literary skills in the primary language," Mirich said.

Another vital group involved in the program is Padres Unidos. This is a grass · roots parents advocacy group that started four years ago to work with the schools in dealing with· some of the problems in Denver classrooms.

Padres Unidos is involved with recruiting volunteers for the program and finding participants. .

Our goal is to "make some changes m the schools to get an equitable education for all children," said Ricardo Martinez, a Padres Unidos member.

Although there is an overall bilingual program in the Denver Public Schools, Martinez says that it is incorrectly implemented.

"It would be fine if implementation was consistent and not seen as a deficit to

get ovet and not as an immersion program," he said.

He says that schools need bilingual teachers in the schools.

Metro's Teachers for Colorado program is combating that problem by recruiting people of color that are juniors in area high schools. Students are identified by the public schools as potential teachers and are given the opportunity to take a full-year class their junior year that introduces them to the teaching profession. The class is taught by Metro faculty and public school teachers. Following a screening process, the students then take four years at Metro.

The Teachers for Colorado Program provides professional development services for three years after they graduate. , The first group of 47 started last spring.

About 120 high school students have-been selected for next year.

"Teachers for Colorado program is geared toward preparing high quality teachers of color to be placed back in the public schools," said Bill Rader, dean of Professional Studies at Metro. Of the 47 that started in the program 42 have stayed. "I think it shows we can provide services to retain students in our programs _,_ we just need to provide the right services to the right students," Rader said. · "Anytime there are individuals who are illiterate, I think we have an obligation to provide some assistance to them."

Don't demand equal-ity by force . -.

'

Why are we always so surprised when the chickens come home to roost? Why do we so often find ourselves beating our chests in indignant, righteous outrage when the tiger whose tail we've been jerking turns around and bites off our hand?

When will we learn?

The racist, anti-Latino flyers distributed on campus late last semester cannot be viewed simply as some ignorant idiot's bigoted hate. That would be just as ignorant. These, along with much of the rising racial tension this campus {i_ndeed, this nation) is experiencing, are not a symptom of the larger disease of racism. These things are a response to wrong-headed, hateful, self-aggrandizing attempts to cure the disease. A wholly repugnant response to be sure - like trying to cure cancer by running the patient down with a truck - but a response nonetheless.

For the last few years a segment of the student population at Metro has been under siege. The previous

administration, pandering to popular higher-ed fashion, declared war and the current administration has escalated it into a sort of career-track jihad.

This segment of the population, apart from any other group specifically identifiable by skin color, religion, ethnic and cultural heritage or gender, has been targeted for termination at Metro.

You see it in classrooms such as Biology 101 where individuals in this group are held personally responsible for environmental degradation.

They're told that their culture's way of doing things is destroying the planet for "indigenous" peoples. Then there's a literature professor who routinely informs members of this group that their skin color is not as attractive as others'. And a while back the school hosted a "cultural festival" that not only excluded this group but, without exception, all of the other "cultural" events and exhibitions were angry diatribes against this group's religion, cultural roots, and gender.

Speakers are invited and some-

times paid to come here and openly lampoon, castigate and hate路 this group. And of course, anytime there's even the hint of members of this group's dark underbelly showing, the common areas fill with angry, tearful protesters and our fearless leader gleefully {look at the photos, the TV tape. These flyers should outrage and sadden anyone, they do me. So why does Kaplan look so . . . happy?) bleating her faux concern, aware always of the TY and newspaper photographers.

The roots of racial and gender hate sprout early, but what we learn and experience here will grow with us the rest of our lives. A community that embraces racial and gender prejudice will only invite those roots, hidden though they may remain, to grow ever deeper and more twisted.

You can't legitimately demand equality and egalitarianism with your boot heel planted firmly on someone's throat. Someone shouldn't have to fall down, so you can stand up. But that's

exactly what we're seeing at Metro.

The administration wants to implement its "unique urban mission" by making the learning environment hostile to white men .

Diversity, yes.

Divisiveness, no.

Too easily we forget: you reap what you sow. Cast the seeds of divisiveness - indeed, make it your primary cash crop - and you'll always reap a bountiful harvest. But you shouldn't be too surprised when the carrion crows of hate, bigotry, anger and violence, attracted by the excesses of your recklessly verdant horticulture, find the dark humus of your stinking fields irresistible.

If you till the soil, if you plant the seed, if you irrigate and prune the weeds, whatever grows there is yours.

Happy New Year.

J.M. Schell Metro Graduate

Attention freshmen and sophomores!_ Here are all the answers ... ~e~~9;:U~=~~ Attention freshmen and sophomores! Here are all the answers ...

As a freshman, I remember the horror of trying to figure out the system. Go to three different people and get three different stories. Now, as a senior, I know my way around, I know who to talk to, and I know how to get what I want. Therefore, the following are some suggestions for ensuring a good experience while you are at MSCD. '

-'

Networking Network, and do it now! I didn't start networking until my junior year. I was not part of the School of Business until then, so I thought there was no point in talking to Management professors. Wrong! go through the offices that relate to your intended .major and introduce yourself to everyone there.

By waiting until my junior year to 路network, I missed out on $3,300 worth of scholarships and two years of internship experience.

In addition, by creating a strong

network system you help to ensure that any problems you encounter will quickly be . resolved. As an example, when I needed a scholarship to help pay for tuition, I was fortunate to have Madison Holloway in my network system. Within two weeks he had found an unused $500 scholarship that fit my needs perfectly, but what is amazing is that only about 40 out of 500 management students know that Madison is the person to see for Management scholarships. NETWORK! NOW! Clubs Many clubs have certain restrictions that prevent freshmen and sophomores from participating.

However, there are a few clubs such as the Human Resource Management Society that welcome all students. By getting involved in a club while a freshman, you give yourself four years to take advantage of the benefits. Clubs are a great source for professional networking, scholarships, and internships.

The earlier you get involved the easier time you will have Tn finding a high-

quality job. Clubs can also help you with problems; some clubs have been known to get school policies changed.

Internships If you think by working hard and getting a degree you will be able to get a good job - you are DEAD wrong.

Talk to any professional in the business world and they will tell you, "no experience, no job." So how do you get experience if they don't hire you?

INTERNSHIPS! These are specifically designed to give students the real experience they need before graduating. Talk to the Cooperative Education program here on_campus or ask a professor in your major. If you wait too long or do not get an internship at all, you will end up settling for a miserable job - guaranteed.

Other Student Organizations Do nC?t forget about the numerous other student organizations on campus which are designed to help students. Here is a short list of a few: Career Center: learn how to inter-

view and write acceptable resumes that professionals will notice. Also they have several open-job listings; Student Activities: these people will help find the right club for you and inform you of upcoming student events; Student Government: in my opinion a joke, but supposedly these people are here to help you with sticky rules of Metro; Advisory Boards: several student advisory boards exist designed to help students, by students. Contact people like Mi~e Brown, Interim Dean of Business or Vice President of Student Services Vernon Haley for more information.

When you graduate from Metro you should be able to say that it was one of the best times of your life. The people who say it wasn't probably didn't network, get involved in clubs, and take advantage of the different student organizations.

Dey you!!!

Golda Meir house ready for.face lift Anna Basquez The Metropolitan Today, a cold chill drifts through the Golda Meir House where the shredded, punctured walls and broken windows have long awaited restoration.

The wait will soon be over. The Colorado Historical Foundation has · granted $95,000 to the Auraria Foundation for interior restoration of the house, located two doors south of St. Cajetan's on Ninth Street Parkway.

"What we need to do is go in and find clues of what the house looked like originally to make a new inside while saving its original character," said Mary Ferrell, executive director of the Auraria Foundation. She said that restoration will result in the duplex being a museum in the part where Golda Meir lived, and a conference center in the other section.

The basement will serve purposes of the Golda Meir Center for Political Leadership, a program started last year by Metro.

Ferrell said the house, which has been on campus since 1988, is in need of several repairs. The borne has survived vandalism, fire, a tornado, and three threats of demolition. Improvements to the house will include ventilation, plumbThe Metropolitan/Jane Raley ing and furnishings.

Except for the few missed opportunities, Higher Leaming is an intense film. Be prepared for the film to touch some of the bigotry that may be inside you.

Singleton has reached in the minds of people in this country, dragged out their innermost thoughts and feelings, and shown how wrong some of those are and how they hurt.

Over the next few months, a lot of students will be hitting the ski slopes when they're not hitting the books.

However, most of these students won't be hitting the slopes quite like Mark Rupprecht does.

Rupprecht, a professional pilot major at .Metro, is a speed skier. He was an alpine and downhill racer before discovering speed skiing, which he calls "the drag racing of skiing."

The object of speed skiing is to get down the mountain very fast. A skier's speed is determined at the speed trap, the fastest part of the run. The skier trips a light beam that starts a timer and 100 meters later the skier crosses a second ·light beam that stops the timer.

The time it took to travel that distance is used to calculate their speed.

"It's the funnest thing in the world," Rupprecht said.

"It' s better than anything."

In 1991, at the age of 17, Mark Rupprecht became the youngest skier to break the

100 mph mark. He accomplished this feat at the Speed Skiing World Championships in Willamette Pass, Ore. He was also the junior champion that year, and for two other years.

Rupprecht' s fastest speed was at the 1993 world championships where he was clocked at 119 mph.

He attends Metro during the summer and fall sessions, and in the spring he travels to Vares, France where he trains for the speed skiing pro-tour that he competes in which takes place in various cities throughout Europe.

The sport has not found a strong following in the U.S ., Rupprecht said, but the sport is popular in France.

"They're into just about anything where you can get hurt really bad or killed," he said.

The danger is not something that worries Rupprecht.

"Sometimes you think about it, but on race day when you're up in the start, you have to put it out of your mind," he said.

The biggest danger in

crashing, Rupprecht said, is the rubber suit worn by the racers. When they crash, the friction between the skier and the snow causes the suit to melt and to stick to the skier's skin.

Speed skiing is a sport that requires a lot of physical and mental attention.

Rupprecht said a skier must stay tucked tight to be as aerodynamic as possible. Even a little thing like letting your hands out for a few seconds can cost the skier five mph.

When training in France, Rupprecht spends his days skiing and working on his equipment. He relies on his sponsor, Lone Star Beer, for support.

It is difficult for skiers to find sponsors, especially in the U.S .; ski-related companies don't want to promote the sport because they fear amateurs will try the sport, injure themselves, and sue.

Rupprecht also gets some help from Vares. The town provides the skiers with inexpensive lodging and a free pass for the season.

In fact, the fear of liability

is what forced the sport to go professional. Speed skiing was a demonstration sport at the 1992 Winter Olympics, but was not sanctioned because of the danger.

..

Meir: Renovation under way Continued from page 15 saving the house came from the community and private organizations such as Jewish groups and the Gates Company.

She added that private citizen Esther Cohen was involved in the planning of the house, and once sued the -city to prevent demolition. "This is the only remaining residence of Golda Meir," Ferrell said, adding that the project is expected to be completed by November.

Golda left her home in Milwaukee in 1913 at age 14 to finish high school. She stayed in the house with her sister and her family, where young Jews would often meet to discuss politics and philosophy.

After attending North High School she made her decision to go to Israel.

Her time spent in the house in Denver's West Side was what she later claimed, in her published autobiography "My Life," a pivotal time in developing her political philosophy. She became the prime minister of Israel and the first woman to be elected a world leader.

"It is intriguing that Golda Meir lived in this house after running away from home to seek an education at a time when 14-year-old Jewish girls were expected to get married. That's not what nice Jewish girls did. Yet she went on to change the world," Ferrell f!aid.

Professor Norman Provizer, chairman of Metro's Political Science department, said that the house is appropriate to the

campus and to the leadership program because ,__.."'..,...,"' "Meir is a symbol of women in politics and a ·symbol that leadership can emerge from anywhere, and that is a message tQat is significant for today."

Provizer added, "The house will draw attention as a historic landThe Metropolitan/Jane Raley mark and will add beauty to the cam- REMAKE/REMODEL: The restoration of Golda Meir's pus as compared to Denver duplex should be finished by November.

Holiday hell for hoopsters Men and women struggle to identical 2-12 record

The Metropolitar/Andy Cross

The Metropolitar/Jane Raley

Shalayo Wiiiiams, left, and Raymond Webber celebrate Metro's second victory of the season Jan. 6. The 2-12 Roadrunners beat Michigan-Dearborn 83-73.

Vanessa Edwards scores two of her 18 points In a loss to Alaska-Anchorage Jan. 6. Edwards leads the CAC In scoring with a 15.9 pts. per-game average. The women are 2-12.

'l

Michael BeDan Spotts Editor

with 15.9 points per game and Sarah Eckhoff and Mary Henry are fifth and sixth respectively, averaging 14;5 and

For the women's basJCetbMI team, a 212 start is a bit puzzling as expectations ' were relatively high at the start of the season.

Metro added five transfer players and two ~shman recruits to a depleted roster that returned just fol.Jl" .players from last . . seasln •s· Colorado Afhletic Confei:ence~llli Champion team. Still, head coach Danyl Smith said his team had high expectations before the season started.

"Last year, and every year I've been here, we've had a hole to fill at one spot or another,'~ Smith said, prior to the season.

"This year we are strong a:t al1 five spots."

Led by Vanessa Edwards, the starting five is shooting .401 from the floor, but the bench has shot just .292.

Metro averages 64 points a game and gives up 69 and allows opponents to shoot .416from the floor.

The Roadrunners' two victories both came at home. On Dec 3. Metro beat Colorado School of Mines 78-68 and on Dec. 17. downed Adams State 84-52.

Much like the men's .team, the women have individuals who are putting up all-: conference numbers but as a team just' haven't meshed.

Edwards leads the CAC in scoring

Henry leads the conference in rebounding, grabbing l 0 boards a game.

As a team, Metro is in the cellar of the CAC and team statistics tell the story.

The Road~nners are second to last in $coring margin at -4. 9 and last in freethrow percentage at .634. w One bright spot is that the Roadrunners out-rebound opponents 43-39 ranking them second in the CAC. The latest action for the women took place Jan 6. at home against AlaskaAnchorage; a 66-51 loss in front of just 140 fans.

Edwards led the way for Metro with 18 points and 14 rebounds. Henry added 15 points and grabbed 15 boards.

Chalae Collard came off the bench to add 12 points, Two starters, Amy Freeman (0-10), and Tammi Baumgartner (didn't shoot), were held scoreless and Shiloh Justice (2-9), had just four points.

CAC play kicked off for the women on Wednesday against Colorado Christian with results unavailable at press time.

Metro plays Saturday at 5 p.m. against the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs at the Auraria Events Center.

Michael BeDon Sports Editor What was expected to be a rebuilding year has become a struggle for survival for the men's basketball squad.

Coach Charles Bradley guided the young Roadrunners to a 2-12 non-conference record over Christmas break in his inaugural season.

The Roadrunners have gotten some stellar individual play from most of their starting five at various points of the season, but have failed to play well as a team in most games.

Bobby Banks is second in the Colorado Athletic Confer~nce in assists, averaging 5.4 per game, up two from his 3.4 per-game average last season. He leads the CAC in steals with 2.8 per game and has 40 for the season compared with 33 for all of last season.

Justin Land is sixth in scoring with 13.8 points per game and fifth in rebounding, grabbing 6.6 boards a night. Antione Lewis is 10th on the boards with five per contest.

As a team, Metro ranks last or near last in every statistical category as well as being in last place in the CAC. The Roadrunners give up 85.9 points a game, which is worst in the conference, and only score 74.6 for a -11.4 scoring

margin, also ranking last Metro is last in team defense, allowing .514 shooting from opponents while shooting a conference low .412. It doesn't get any better from beyond the three point arc with Metro shooting a paltry .333.

The Roadrunners did end the nonconference schedule on a positive note Jan. 6 when they beat Michigan-Dearborn 83-TJ at the Auraria Events Center.

"The guys played with great intensity," Bradley said after his team's second win of the year. "Our players have continued to work bard, despite the way our season has progressed. Their hard work payed off tonight, and I am very proud of our team' s perseverance."

Banks Jed the Roadrunners with 18 points on 6-10 shooting as four Metro players scored in double figures. Land and David Harri s each chipped in l 5 and Shakoor Ahmad scored IO. CAC play began for the Roadrunners Thursday night at Colorado Christian with results unavailable at press time.

Metro returns home Saturday for a CAC clash with the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs and will play Nebraska-Kearney next Friday, also at home.

Both games are at 7 p.m. and admission is free for students with a school ID.
