Many women wish they didn't have to remember their birth control every day. If you're one of them, you might want to know about Depo-Provera. Some of the benefits of Depo-Provera. Depo-Provera is an injection you get from your doctor or nurse, every three months. When taken as scheduled-just 4 times a year-it's more than 99% effective. So it's one of the most reliable contraceptives available. Depo-Provera has been used for many years by millions of women in countries like England, France and Sweden. And DepoProvera is reversible. Once you stop using it, you can usually become pregnant within one year. Depo-Provera from Upjohn is a prescription product that costs about the same per year as birth control pills.

But before you consider any birth control method, you should discuss the risks and benefits with your healthcare professional.

Most women experience irregular or unpredictable menstrual bleeding and weight gain. With continued use, many women stop having monthly periods, but your healthcare professional can explain why this happens and that it is not a medical problem. Use of Depo-Provera may be associated with a decrease in the amount of mineral stored in your bones,

which may be considered among the risk factors for development of osteoporosis. Depo-Provera is not right for every woman . Women with a family or personal history of breast cancer, blood clots, liver disease, or those who think they might be pregnant, should not use Depo-Provera. Remember, Depo-Provera does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases. But it does provide highly reliable birth control you only have to think about 4 times a year.

Hurry up and graduate, or pay Tuition could quadruple for students exceeding 138 credit limit Christopher Anderson Senior Staff Writer Students who change majors will be penalized with quadrupled tuition prices if H.B. 1191 is not amended, Metro student Alfonso Suazo told the house education committee Jan. 30. Suazo, Metro's student lobbyist, asked the committee to rethink plans that would require Colorado residents to pay the equivalent of out-of-state tuition costs once 138 credits have been amassed. The plan would mean in-state students would pay $246 per credit hour instead of $60 after 138 credit hours. All credit hours will count despite a change in majors, according to the proposal. The bill aims to push college students through school

in four years. The Colorado Commission on Higher Education expects the children of baby boomers to begin entering college this fall, and it predicts a 23 percent increase in student enrollment between now and the tum of the century. Limited funds for classroom space are forcing educators to implement more efficient and innovated services with the general consensus being that this will alter higher education as we know it. Suazo told the legislative committee that the tuition cap will be a problem for students who switch majors. 'These students generally attend classes and work at the same time," Suazo said. "Some of them may attend classes to increase their productivity in Vieir job. This may not be a discipline that they may want to get into should they be laid off."

The Metropolitan/Jenny Sparks

LOOK HERE: Metro student Alfonso Suazo asks the Senate Education Committee to reconsider a bill that would Increase tuition for students changing majors or exceeding a 138 credit cap.

Albino supported the cap saying she didn' t want to ration education, but said "these are different times." Albino also said she understands the plight of college students. "I confess to taking six years to graduate and probably having moved through at least five majors," she said. Although Metro President Sheila Kaplan wasn't at the hearing, she said the tuition cap clause needs to be more clear and less discouraging. "It raises a lot of questions," she said. "We all change our minds." . Kaplan said the bill doesn't address students transferring from out of state or students who are returning to college after having dropped out for 12 years. Suazo said that there isn't enough information on how many students would be affected and that adequate advising also requires further study. Non-traditional students need advising over a long period of time, Suazo said. UNC president Herman Lujan opposed the tuition cap. Lujan said he wouldn't want to punish a student who was making real progress toward a degree, just the ones who were shopping around. Christopher Lepore, executive director of Colorado Student Association, said it was very important to get the bill amended now, but that there would be more opportunities once the bill reached the senate. Lepore said the committee i! heavy with new members, which meant Rep. Norma Anderson, R-Lakewood, chairwoman of the House Education Committee and sponsor of the bill, would likely get her way. "She is the guru of higher education," Lepore said. "Nobody will buck her." Some of that newness of the committee members showed. After William Fulkerson had already introduced himself as president of the state colleges of Colorado, Rep. Bryan Sullivant, R-Longmont, asked if he was in charge of any private institutions. Speaking slowly and clearly, Fulkerson enunciated, "No sir, I am president of the state colleges of Colorado." The bill passed, as is, 9 votes to l.

Impact of lobbying group in question Becky O'Guin >

Staff Writer A year into a three-year contract with a statewide student lobbying group, Metro students and student government representatives are asking the question: Should they renew the $12,000 contract when it expires next year? Last year, Metro's Student Government signed a three-year contract with the Colorado Student Association. The Association lobbies the Colorado legislature on behalf of college students, targeting increased funding and policy decisions for higher education. Amy Haimerl, vice president of student fees for the Student Government Assembly, said if they were lobbying for increased funding at Metro specifically, she would support them 100 percent. "$12,000 could support a lot of things for students," she said. Haimerl also said Student Government could use the money to hold more forums to inform students about current issues or give the money to other student organizations.

Metro's link to the Association is Alfonso Suazo who sits on its board of directors. He encourages students to attend their monthly board meetings and said that participation has been high. Lucus Buxman, director of public relations for the Association sees his organization as the only true voice for the students. . "CSA is a great way to get students involved in higher education policy making, higher education funding," Buxman said. "There is no other group out there that is specifically designed to educate students and get them involved in the statewide issues of higher education." Many students are not aware of Metro's connection with CSA, and if they are there is no consensus on whether to continue the membership. Sherea Spalding, a Metro junior, would like Student Government to keep the money and create a position that lobbies the legislature. Metro sophomore Keith Adams disagrees. "I think giving the money to CSA

would be a better idea because Student Government doesn't lobby for things that are tangible to me," he said. The impact CSA has on legislation varies with each legislator. Sen. Al Meiklejohn, chairman of the Senate Education Committee, said he sees and talks to the Association representatives all the time. State Treasurer and former Senate Education Committee member Bill Owens said students should find a better use for their money. "If the students are paying for CSA to represent them at the legislature then I think those payments are being wasted, because I, as one ·1egislator, couldn't tell you who they are or what they do," Owens said. The Association consists of 12 member-colleges. Metro's $12,000 dues are second only to CU who pays $22,272. The purpose of CSA is to provide and coordinate information for individuals to testify before the legislature. A student lobbyist couldn't do all that and maintain a course load, said Suazo.

One percent solution The Golorado Student Association's caI!lPaign for this year is "One Percent More for Higher Education" in which they would like to receive 1 percent more from the gene~ fund. One percent of the general fund is approximately $40 milliou. The breakdown of the $40 million CSA will be lobbying for is as follows: •$10 million to meet the financialai(t need of students here in Colorado. •$8 million for capital development. which is maintenance on college buildings. •$ l 0 million to meet the mandated such as state ordered salary increases for classified employees. (This would allow colleges to use tuition money to maintain student services.) w •$8 million to contend with the massive enrollment that is expected. •$4 million for Senate Bill-136 iu;eas, which incl"Qde a K-12 linkage with higher education and workforce retraining.

College Republicans get ultimatum Club has until Feb. 10 to sign Metro agreement stating they will allow homosexual membership Kirsten Strietzel The Metropolitan The College Republicans Club at Metro was told Jan. 24 by the college that the club will be kicked off campus if they do not sign a form that stating that the club will not discriminate due to sexual orientation. The club has until Feb. lO to sign this agreement before the school takes action. College Republicans' Executive Director Joe Floyd said that his club refuses to sign the agreement. " We are being victi mized\·for our beliefs, picked out and picked on/' Floyd said. According to a policy initiated by former Metro President Tom Brewer, the only club circumstances exempt of the sexual discrimination clause are religious clubs and certain activities such as the ROTC, which are conducted under the auspices of the U .S. government. Floyd said the College Republicans felt they are entitled to be exempt because they consider themselves to be a faction of the government. "By (Metro' s) definition, government groups are exempt so we should be exempt," Floyd said. ,. Robert G. Brock, assistant vice president of Communications and Media

Relations for Metro, said the college' s policy since 1992 has been to not discriminate based on sexual orientation. Brock said that as of today, the College Republicans Club has not violated college policy, although after Feb. 10 that's another matter. "It would be a stretch to say that the (College Republicans) are a military organization and it would be a stretch to say they are a religious group ," Brock said. 'They're on a collision course with the college." Floyd said the College Republicans will file a suit against Metro saying the club is being discriminated against. 'The college will change their minds after talking to our lawyers," he said. The College Republicans have been reprimanded before by the The Metropolitan/Jane Raley Office of Student Activities for disWHAT A RUSH: College Republicans Executive Director Joe Floyd Is defying playing a decal on their club door current Metro policies regarding club funding agreements. that states "sodomy is not a family value."

Funds available for Auraria RTD pass program Jesse Stephenson Senior Staff Writer A campuswide student fee increase to fund RID bus passes will go up for a student vote this spring. Andy Chitwood, director of Parking and Transportation Services, said the proposed student fee increase will be about $15 per semester. The money generated from the fee increase, in addition to a designated federal subsidy, will make local passes available to every Auraria student. "Fifteen dollars and federal money means you show your ID and you get to ride," Chitwood said. The $450,000 yearly federal subsidy is part of a program that targets cities across the nation with the poorest airquality and funds programs that reduce pollution. If students from the three colleges vote in favor of the referendum, which will likely be held in early April, the Auraria bus-pass program will be federally subsidized for two years.

The program would reduce the cost of a semester's worth of monthly bus passes for those students who take the bus from $ll5 to $15 (the new student fee) per semester. However, Chitwood said some may oppose the program because they would not use the bus pass. According to a survey of Auraria students conducted by RTD in April 1993, 23 percent of full-time students said they . rode the bus to and from campus that week. When asked if they would take the bus to school if furnished with a bus pass, 57 .9 percent of full-time students said they would use RTD for the commute. Kersten Keith, student representative to the Auraria board, said the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board has avoided proposals that would raise the student fee more then $20 in an effort to make the plan palatable to those who might not use the RTD pass. In addition, the fee cap gives leeway to other programs that are planning to ask for a fee increase such as the Student Health Center. "We need to be as prudent as possi-

More tokens needed for Tivoli Subway Nguyen Pontiere The Metropolitan Auraria students sometimes pay up to 60 cents more for their Subway sandwiches. The Tivoli Subway and the Subway location at 1050 W. Colfax Ave. were compared to three Subway restaurants located in the suburbs. The suburb locations were: 8700 Wadsworth Blvd.; 8025 Sheridan Blvd. and 7312 Federal Blvd. The more popular sandwiches such as meatball and a B.M.T. were compared at the 6-inch serving. The Tivoli Subway and the location across campus on Colfax A venue have almost identical prices with the ex~eption of a hot barbecued

beef that is 10 cents more at the Tivoli. When compared to the suburban locations, the Tivoli Subway was always higher. John Donhowe, who owns the Tivoli Subway and the store on Colfax Avenue, could not be reached for comment. Prices at 7312 Federal Blvd. and 8700 Wadsworth Blvd. were 10 cents to 40 cents cheaper than those at the Tivoli Subway. The location at 8025 Sheridan had the greatest price differences. Some sandwiches were 50 cents to 60 cents cheaper. For example, the meatball sub sells for $2.39 at the Tivoli Subway, but at 8025 Sheridan Blvd., the same sandwich sold for $1.79.

Editor: I am appalled with The Mets most recent coverage of my effort to serve students. At this point, I have one simple question: What is The Mets purpose? Do Metro students really need a multi-page critique of the Tivoli Student Union's most fashionable retailer? Wasn't the 1995 Stock Show coveredin great detail - in Colorado's two major papers? Clearly, creativity and innovation is the key to any project's success. But what happens when that creativity and innovation is at the expense of your market: Metro students? Since the beginning of my term, a string of Met reporters have been at SGA's door, hounding us incessantly for information, hoping to uncover a scandal parallel to Watergate. They've not been successful because there is no scandal. Rather, we've worked hard to establish a foundation for our new structure of government. What threw them, I am certain, is the word "government" in our title. I find it hard to believe that anyone, particularly Met staff, truly thinks that the SGA has the authority, power, and resources to "govern" Metro students. Instead, the SGA are advocates for students; we lobby for students' rights and concerns. Moreover, the SGA is responsible for ensuring that those responsible for "governing" the students, i.e. administration, faculty, AHEC, etc. are doing so in accordance with institutional and state guidelines. Our efforts have gone unnoticed by Metro students because The Met has

chosen not to publish such information. We asked that Clayton Steneroden's (SGA's Vice President of Academic Affairs) effort in his very successful '95 Book Swap be covered. No one bothered to speak with him or attend the week-long function. When a reporter came to me early last semester for ideas on what issues to pursue, I suggested that an investigation into Metro's Athletic Program be initiated, as student fees were being (and have been for years) allocated for scholarships. No one responded until recently, and I'm not sure it will ever be pursued. Last semester, I explained to a reporter that I had established a system whereby key Metro administratorsincluding Vice President Haley, Interim Vice President and Provost Foster, and most recently, President Kaplanwould be holding weekly office hours in SGA's suite in hopes of creating a solid bridge between Metro administration and students. To date, no one.has con. tacted me. Additionally, The Met did not find it newsworthy to publish a story of my recent Peace Award I received during the 1995 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Peace Awards Breakfast. Yet, in LARGE, BOLD letters, the paper felt it necessary to inform students on what a sexist workshop presenter thinks of me. The story was one-sided and most horrifying, it wasn't on behalf of students, but in support of an institution (AHEC) who carelessly brought in ill-suited conflict-resolution presenter (Mr. Rosenbrough) to a diverse, multicultur-

al institution of higher learning. Specifically, I spoke out for a student who had come to me concerned about the content of the workshop. During a break in the workshop, I firmly explained to Rosenbrough that his comment (joke) regarding battering his wife was inappropriate and intolerable. I have always, and will continue to for the rest of my life, stand up and speak out when I hear or witness acts of racism, sexism, homophobia, and other forms of oppression and discrimination. I've never been interviewed on my work, my efforts, my philosophy, or my dedicated and faithful service to students for the past three-and-one-half years. Students don't know about the SGA t>ecause The Met continues to ignore our work and service to students. I don't know why, and quite frankly, I don't care. I do know that I have always worked for students' rights and concerns and will do so until the end of my term. I invite each and every Metro student to come to SGA's office and talk to me, and all the other SGA members, about any issues or concerns you may have. My door is always open. And, when you ask yourself as a fee-funded program ($68,333) what is the SG~ doing for students, I would ask that you amend your question to include, "as a fee-funded program (approx. $155,000) what is The Met doing for students? SJncerely, Megan A. Reyes, president Student Government Assembly

The Met : lie detector/corrector To correct the many inaccuracies and untruths In the above: Megan Reyes was interviewed by The Metropolitarfs news editor, Louis Landa, in an article that appeared in the August 26, 1994 · issue of The Metropolitan. The interview, starting on page 5, was titled "Question and Answer with Megan Reyes." The first question from Landa to Reyes was "Please give an overview of Student Government and your role. in it." This interview ran for two pages. In September 1994, The Metropolitan extended to Reyes the

opportunity to submit a monthly column on SGA issues in The Metrppolitan. The first appeared on Oct. 21._ 1994 on page 8 and was titled, "My vision for Student Government." The Metro,;olitan has received no editorials on SGA issues from Reyes since. The Jan. 27, 1995 story that ran on page 4 of The Metropolitan about the Conflict Management seminar quoted six different people from the event, including Reyes. The Metropolitan published a story on the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Peace Breakfast on page 6 of the Jan. 20,

1995 issue. The article notes Reyes and others who received awards. The Metropolitan has never published a multi-page spread on any retailer. Clayton Steneroden submitted an article on CoPIRG's Book Swap that was published in The Metropolitan on Sept. 30, 1994 on page 11. The Metropolitan also provided Clayton with a half-price ad and designed a logo to promote the swap at no charge. On Jan. 19, 1995, when Metropolitan photographer Jane Raley was sent to photograph the Book Swap, she was asked to return at a later time. Also, it is The Office of Student Publications that receives $155,000 in student fees. The Office of Student Publications provides resources so that students can produce their student literary magazine Metrosphere and their weekly student newspaper The Metropolitan. The Metropolitan's directexpenses (staff salaries and printing costs) are paid for by its own advertising revenues. Reyes sits on the Student Affairs Board which oversees these monies.

Don't give up on Metro's Alumni

-·

Editor: I was saddened to read the letter from Christopher Schneider (The Metropolitan Jan. 27) stating, "Perhaps the inevitable requests for money from the Metro Alumni Association should be returned unopened" because Spring '95 commencement has been moved to a Tuesday night. As a graduating senior myself, I was disappointed and annoyed with this change. However, I fail to see the connection between this administrative decision and the Metro Alumni Association.

Does Mr. Schneider really think the Alumni Association or any of its members had anything to do with changing the date of the commencement? Carol Nesland, President of the Alumni Board and a planned speaker at graduation, had no idea of this change until I told her about it. If Mr. Schneider does not want to give money to or be a part of the Association for legitimate reasons, I have no problem with this, but there is no reason to penalize the Association and the students and alumni who benefit from it because of a decision of

which the Association had no part. I hope Mr. Schneider will educate himself as to how this decision was made and question the true parties responsible. As the Student Government Representative to the Alumni Board, I would hate for a student - a future alumnus - to needlessly alienate himself from the Alumni Association.

In other words, she wants to punish people for crimes which she~ they did not commit. In so doing, she has repudiated the very concept of due process.

Brooke McMaken Vice President of Student Organizations Student Government Assembly

Will the real bigot please stand up? Editor: My experience has been that most people who claim to oppose bigotry actually believe that bigotry is OK as long as they get to choose the victims. Alice Holman's letter in the Jan. 20 issue of The Metropolitan is a case in point. Ms. Holman's claim that sharing is 'totally alien' to white males exposes her as both a racist {even if she is white) and a sexist. Her hateful stereotype is no more valid than the depiction of all blacks as violent criminals,

various explanations which fit the facts, Ms. Holman invariably chose those which most heavily smear white males as a group. All told, it is difficult to escape the conclusion that what Ms. Holman opposes is no worse than what she represents. The desire to be free of oppression is all very well, but it sounds like she wants to do some oppressing of her own. Eric Krein Metro class of 1988

Ode to the harried married man

ne Rev. Mort Famdu "' First Presleyterian Church of Elvis the Divine 0, the Harried Married Man, let us honor him at last. Let us finally praise this bastion of manly values, this fortress of masculine morality. In our sorry age of brutal boyfriends, homicidal husbands and deadbeat dads, he stands like the Rock of Gibraltar. He is our bulwark and our shield, a shining beacon of light in the wild and bleak landscape of modern rnaledom. He fulfills his family obligations without abuse or stint. He maintains home and marriage. He nurtures and protects his offspring. He pays his bills and taxes and upholds the law. He is the thread holding the tattered fabric of our society together. Yet he goes unsung. We have ignored the Harried Married Man shamefully, though we see him every day. We all know who he is. He is the man with the tight smile and the hint of bewildered desperation in his eyes. He looks like a soldier storming the beach at Normandy, scared witless but grimly in control and ready to die for a just cause. But we refuse to recognize him. There are no stories abol,lt him ir:i the newspapers or on TV - it's almost as if he doesn't exist.

Emmanuel Gallery's newest exhibit, Female Problems, features provocative works of four female artists examining medicine's .treatment of women Jeanie Straub Senior Staff Writer When he attended the opening reception of Female Problems Jan. 19 at Emmanuel Gallery, Metro fine arts student Billy Johnson, 24, was surprised to learn it wasn't a UCD show. "I assumed it was UCD art, because UCD art always has vaginas in it," he said. The layering and combination of media in some of the art impressed him more than others. "I don't really find these all that exciting," he said, motioning toward Karen Hymer-Thompson's Infertility Series, "because I've seen it before. I've seen writing on yourself and talcing your own picture before. It doesn't speak to me in any particular way." Female Problems is an exhibit of photographs and installations that deals with the treatment of women by the medical profession. Four accomplished women artists - Catherine Angel of Las Vegas, Leslee Broersma of Boulder (who teaches at both Metro and UCD), Hymer-Thompson of Phoenix and Lynne Brown of Chicago - present a complex display heavy with commentary on the feminist experience: • Angel explores the use of text with images in her photographic/collage series, which records her experience with ovarian cancer. • Broersma's Medical Series and To Classify employs historical images and the use of computer, photography, photocopy and other media. . •Hymer-Thompson's series deals with the human body when subjected to medical procedures involving fertility and reproduction. • Brown's Disease images are interactive layers of 19th-century medical text and illustrations over photographs. The text of one reads:

Hysterical attacks occur most frequently in young women. Unconsciousness is not generally present, since

The works of Catherine Angel, Leslee Broersma and Karen Hymer-Thompson are also featured at Emmanuel Gallery's show Female Problems. in the Arts. '• . "We discussed on various occasions the relation of art to the physicality of the human experience," Blexrud said. "It's very interesting to see what she's done the layered nature of her series. It's really great." UCD assistant professor of photography Debra Goldman appreciated the complexity of Brown's layered series because Brown spoke to one of her classes. 'The layering of the images for her was about layers of meaning but also about layers of the body," Goldman said. "She's really interested in our sense of having very little control over our bodies. That we're all sort of close to a certain edge in someway. most cases progress no further "These are all contemporary artists that show a lot. than the hysterical laughing or crying stage . ...

Of course in any doubtful or persistent case a especially struck by Hymer-Thompson's Infertility Series. physician's services are needed.

She also touched on something that interpretive exhibit is an important one for the campus I think is probably every woman's fear, and that's great and was assembled because of the power of the artists that she can bring it to the surface and present it very and the significance of the subject matter. precisely." "The artists have really hefty backgrounds," she "I like the feeling of the entire show," said Shaun said. 'They were put together because all of their work Fletcher, 32, a Metro art history major. "It's nice to see a looks at medical problems that females have." One of the initial thrusts of the exhibit is that the show with obviously a feminist direction that's not problems are continual, Keller said, and are at times not bogged down by the same-old-same-old presentation. They're addressing some different issues than art usually looked at seriously by the medical profession. "Broersma uses these 19th-century images to stress handles in this sort of show."

LEn: Metro paralegal student Carolann Wilson

displays her dragon tattoo, which was done by Sugar Bear at the Emporium of Design at · 2028 E. Colfax. RIGHT: Ayoung woman undergoes a nipple piercing. Her other nipple is pierced and she is adorned with other body piercings and tattoos. The RE/Search book, Modem Primitives, written in 1989 by V. Vale and Andrea Juno, is the most comprehensive book on the history, phi- ... losophy and functionality of contemporary adornment and ritual. No, I don't change · my hair color every time , my fingernail polish starts chipping. No, I did not have my first sexual experience before my second set of teeth came in and no, bungee jumping is not exactly my idea of fun. You could call me boring, but there is something I've done that in my eyes deserves the label "extra crazy," and everybody who knows me well would agree. I got my bellybutton pierced. About two years ago I was flipping through some glamorous magazine when I saw a glossy picture of supermodel Naomi Campbell, lavishly spread out in a little black two-piece nothing, sporting a little loop in her oh-sosexy bellybutton. I was totally taken by the idea of having a "decorated" navel. It just seemed so ... glamorous. But I knew it wouldn't have the same effect on me so I forpt about it pretty fast. Times changed. I quit my job, packed up my belongings, moved to the United States (I'm a native Swiss, which might explain that I'm not the most spontaneous person on the planet) and started to sweat through those much hated sit-ups, which eventually resulted in an almost flat stomach. Occasionally, I would be reminded of my idea of "craziness." Still, I did not have the guts to walk into one of those dark, obscure looking places that have a sign that says "We Do Piercing" in the window. In my photojournalism class last semester, we brain-

stormed places to do an assigned photo essay. Someone mentioned a tattoo parlor, and I thought to myself, "Yeah, that's where I'm going to get my photos and maybe..." By the time I had been in the shop an hour, I was a nervous wreck. I survived photographing a nipple piercing, and interviewed another young woman who sat white-faced in a chair recovering from her bellybutton piercing experience. "It didn't hurt a bit," she said, "it's done too fast to hurt." But her face told me otherwise and I gave it one more roll of film before I made my decision. Five minutes later, with rubbery knees, I stood beside ZooBob peering into a showcase full of body jewelry, trying to decide what would be suitable to adorn my midsection. I don't remember much of the actual piercing job, but I'm proud to say I didn't faint It wasn't excruciating, but it wasn't painless either. It's really done way too fast to be torturous. As I climbed from the chair, ZooBob caught me by sur...

prise. "No kissing and no licking for the first three months," he said while putting his tools away and fetching a post-piercing care man' ual for me. · Isn't that why I got it ? Nab, I already loved the little silver loop so much that I vowed to defend it fiercely against potential kissers or tickers. My piercing is now almost three months old (unlicked and unkissed) and has heale5 pretty well. For the first three days I would admire it every five seconds (my roommate can attest to that-she had to admire it every five seconds, too). But as the pain ceased, so did my narcissism. Don't get me wrong, I love my little silver loop. It is the evidence of my own little bit of craziness, the souvenir that I will take · home someday that symbolizes what I admire most about America: individuality before uniformity. And now it's a part of me and not just a crazy idea anymore. ,, When I show it off, reactions range from total ~gust to rather flattering compliments. The unpierced want to know how much it hurt and why I got it. My pierced colleagues want to know when and where I will get my next one. No, it didn't hurt too bad. Yes, I got it because I think it's cool, and no, absolutely not, will I ever get another one anywhere. I'm having enough trouble finding cropped little T-shirts that will leave enough skin free to show off my "craziness."

A chance meeting of hearts and minds Geraldine Haldner The Metropolitan Finally, a movie that gives hope to those Generation X-ers who think love born from fear of loneliness and confusion is a way of life. Before Sunrise even goes so far as to indulge in the thought that "the lost generation" will someday actually understand their parents. Jesse (Ethan Hawke) and Celine (Julie Delpy) meet on a train corning from Budapest and heading for Vienria. They start talking after a couple, quarreling in German, forces Celine to change seats. Both do not understand what the subject of the argument is (for those viewers who aren't fluent in beautifully-accented Austrian-German, the subject is the wife's alleged alcoholism). Celine, who reads Hemingway, is on her way home to Paris. Jesse, who prefers lighter literature, plans to catch a flight back to the United States from Vienna the next morning. Culture clash "par excellence" and Celine, as French as she is, enjoys reminding the young American of his inability to speak any language other than English. Nevertheless, they overcome the Babylonian curse without any problems while they are waiting for the very

European and therefore not very serviceoriented waiter to bring the menu in the restaurant car of the train. The conversation over lunch goes from Jesse's idea for a 24-hour cable show about normal people and their normal (boring?) lives, to Celine's fruitless attempts to rebel against her too-understanding parents. A saltshaker is first nervously polished by the American boy, then tenderly caressed by the French girl. People falling in love do things like that - in movies and in real life. Just by banding the (now shiny) saltshaker back and forth, they hand their opinions, thoughts and problems to each other. By the time the train arrives in Vienna, Jesse and Celine know too much to let go of each other. Two strangers freed by anonymity plunge into a city they don't know. A love story between three characters - Celine, Jesse and Vienna - begins. The chance encounter turns into a spontaneous expedition through the picturesque streets of Vienna. Over the course of their 14-hour journey, the two share their love for' the unrehearsed and their appreciation for the unexpected as they engage in a powerful meeting of

Britain's hot Oasis are the newest Mancunian candidates Jeff Stratton Editor

Billy Madison COMING FEBRUARY 10th

ADVERTISE

Paul McGuigan isn't terribly excited. Even though his band, Oasis, are touring the United States for the second time in four months and have racked up impressive sales with their debut LP, De.finitely Maybe, he's not at all surprised or thrilled by the band's success. "We rehearsed for 18 months before we played our first gig," said the bassist from a Portland, Ore., hotel room'.'We got a deal with Creation Records (one of Britain's hippest indie imprints) on our sixth or seventh gig." McGuigan and his bandmates have been friends for over a decade, growing up in south Manchester. "We all knew each other from soccer," he said. The other famous Mancunian musical exports don't cast a shadow over Oasis, according to McGuigan. "Bits of Joy Division were all right," he sniffs. "Some Smiths songs are great, but I think Morrisey's got an awful voice. New Order were all right in their time. The (Stone) Roses were OK six years ago." Has he heard their new album? · "Yeah - I'm gonna reserve judgment on it." MTV has placed the song "Supersonic" in heavy rotation.

COMIN' ATCHA: From left, Tony Mccarroll, Bonehead, Noel Gallagher, Liam Gallagher and Paul McGulgan bring an Oasis of Beatie-Inflected tunes on their Definitely Maybe LP out now on Epic. McGuigan couldn't care less. "MTV means nothing to anyone in England. And I don't even like making videos. They're only important in the commercial sense." But Oasis are back in the United States, playing Denver's Bluebird Theater on Thursday, Feb. 9., making up for an October performance canceled when singer Liam Gallagher lost his voice. Even if they don't care, the hype associated with Oasis may be deserved. We'll find out Thursday.

Sunrise: Linklater flirts with young love continued from page 19 hearsed. In order to look natural, Linklater reserved three weeks just to rehearse the dialogue with the two main characters before the actual shooting of the movie in Vienna. Without a doubt, Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy can carry the movie over the two hours. Hawke plays the always probing and questioning young American with sensitivity, which prevents his character from looking like an ignorant product of the "grunge-hype" syndrome. Delpy, whose French accent gives the f-word an almost poetic quality, fascinates the viewer with a mixture of innocence and wisdom. Both seem very comfortable with their characters, and their acting is convincing enough to not just thrive on their pretty faces. Nevertheless, they are good-looking, which in some ways makes it hard to conceive the film as real. The viewer might ask him/herself when leaving the theater, "Does this only happen to beautiful people or can it also happen to me?" The cast also includes several actors, who are less good-looking but still beautiful. Erni Mangold as a colorful palm reader and Dominik Castell as a bum/street poet contribute to some of the most memorable lines and scenes of Before Sunrise.

Starring

Ethan Hawke Julie Delpy Other characters make the viewer wonder if Vienna is inhabited by a nerdish kind of people all wearing awful horn-rimmed glasses. The beauty of Vienna is easy to accept; a lively city, which is rich in culture and beautifully displayed in every scene, then framed by a soundtrack ranging from Mozart's "Vienna Blood" to more contemporary pieces by local musicians. It's a movie about love. Not a very new idea, but the way this movie is made makes the idea look new and interesting. A semi-happy ending leaves the viewer to spin the tale to a personal unique closure. If this movie does not make you fall in love with love, it sure makes you fall in Jove with Vienna and its European ambiance.

~Nebraska

explores military life

Industrial Arts Theatre puts on promising show despite shoestring budget Dave Flomberg Staff Writer Community theater is one of Colorado's best kept secrets. Located at First and Acoma streets, the Industrial Arts Theatre Company is probably one of the most hidderi of those secrets. The company is in the middle of its run of Keith Reddin 's Nebraska, a comedy/drama set on a nuclear missile launch base in the center of America's midland. Despite the fact that the company is working with a smaller budget than the average Metro student, this production shows promise. Written from an existentialist point of view, the play takes a nihilistic look into the relations of two nomadic military couples, and the adulterous, tragic intertwining of their lives. The play is written as a parallel between the way things are run on the base and these wayward souls' lives; the military bas a system that must be enforced in order to stave off anarchy as does the course of human events. Nebraska opens with Lt. Dean Swift

SALUTE YOURSELF: Lt. Dean Swift (Erik Tleze), top, and Major Jack Gurney (Stephen Sealy) . wield military equipment In Nebraska. (Eric Tieze) being transferred onto the base run by Maj. Jack Gurney (Stephen Sealy). Swift is assigned launch duty and quickly befriends Lt. Harry Fielding, hilariously portrayed by Philip Luna. Luna simply immolates the stage with his presence in every scene he is in. Unfortunately, not everyone is as up-topar in their performance as he is. The two lead women, Gurney's wife, Carol (Erica

Sarzin-Borrillo), and Swift's wife, Julie (Mia Todd), are largely forgettable in their performances. However, both of these women had at least a few bright spots where it seemed as if they were on the brink of becoming real ... but they stayed on that brink. Tieze gives a fairly strong opening monologue, but from there it's all downhill. As the play progresses, Swift becomes as unlikeable as Sealy is pathetic, and it all comes to a head with the suicide of someone who is shattered by their spouse's infidelity. And that's where the play ends. It seems as if Reddin was absent when his professors taught the section on resolution. Either that, or Reddin forgot to send in the last three pages to his publisher when he finished the play. Yet the play is not without merit. Everyone onstage contributes something valuable to the overall ensemble, and it is heartwarming to see that serious lack of funding hasn't broken the spirits of those involved with this production.

Miserable season drags on for men Roadrunners lose two conjerenee games in three days, failing to 3-16 Michael BeDan Sports Editor

is second in the CAC in blocked shots, and Banks is second in assists. The problem is simple: the Roadrunners cannot put the basketball through the rim. Guard Raymond Webber said the team lacks confidence. "We are a bunch of practice players," Webber said. "If we could hit in a game, we'd be unstoppable." Land agreed and said once a player misses a few shots, the confidence is gone. "It is mental," Land said. "In practice we hit them but we come out in games and can't hit squat." Lewis, who is a streaky but natural shooter, said he needs to penetrate and create shots when the perimeter shot isn't falling. "I think we fear ourselves," Lewis said. "We don't play to win, we try to find ways to win and then we try not to lose. I think we need to be dogs and come out scrappin' ." No one can question this team's heart. Metro usually puts together a good ~xerall performance and can compete on sheer determination and defensive pressure. Against DU, the Roadrunners trailed just 44-38 at the half while shooting just .302. DU shot .548. A 24 percent disparity in field goal percentage, yet just a six point deficit. Against Regis, Metro was blown out of the gym in the first half, trailing 44-23. They shot a pathetic .241 and allowed Regis to shoot Âˇ.625. In the second half, the Roadrunners outscored Regis 40-30, shooting .400 and holding the Rangers to .429. The Roadrunners lack a pure shooter, yes. Are they so bad that .402 should be expected? No. The team can shoot and talent-wise should be around the .470 range. If that can be accomplished, Metro could win. If no one steps up to become a go-to guy and a leader, the losses will continue, and Metro will

On paper, the men's basketball team looks to be very competitve with most opponents. On the hardwood, the Roadrunners are 3-16 and have lost three straight with no relief in sight Last week, Metro dropped two more Colorado Athletic Conference games, losing 80-69 at home to the University of Denver Jan. 26, and 74-63 at Regis on Saturday. "It is a pattern that has gone on all season," Metro Coach Charles Bradley said. "We just can't shoot the basketball." The Roadrunners shoot just .402 as a team and allow opponents to shoot .514 against them. To contrast, the University of Southern Colorado shoots a CAC best .492 per game. Bradley said the team is capable of shooting much better. "We have the shooters," Bradley said. ''The main thing is just stepping up. This is college basketball, not junior college or high school basketball. If you have a player who cannot step up and make 45-50 percent from the field, then that player needs to question his abilities." Metro's best percentage shooter is Marcus Weathersby who shoots .518. The problem is that he averages just 9.5 points per game. Justin Land leads the team in scoring at 13.4 points per game, but shoots just .417. Antione Lewis is second in the conference in three-point shooting at .427, but shoots .389 overall. "I think as a basketball coach, you can get them the shots," Bradley said. ''They are getting open shots, but I can't make them for them."

Roadrunners win fifth straight

...

Michael BeDan Sports Editor The women's basketball team continued its mastery over its Colorado Athletic Conference opponents last week by defeating the University of Denver and Regis University, improving to 5-0 in the CAC. The Roadrunners won Saturday at Regis 69-62 in a Dr.-Jekyll-and-Mr.-Hyde-like performance. In the first half, Metro shot a miserable .385 from the floor but managed to outscore the Rangers 30-23 thanks to a 9-1 run to end the half. Point guard Sara Eckhoff and forward Mary Henry each had nine points in the half to lead the Roadrunners. Metro shot well in the second half, scoring 39 points on .560 shooting and preserved the seven point lead as Regis matched the Roadrunners with 39 points in the half. "It got real hairy at the end," Metro Coach Darryl Smith said. "I thought we did a real good job of keeping our composure." Regis pulled to within four with I :07 remaining, but Eckhoff hit two foul shots with 1:02 left. Metro sealed the deal when Henry hit two from the chairity stripe with just eight seconds left. "I never thought we were in jeopardy of losing the ballgame," Smith said. "We led the whole second half." Vanessa Edwards, the CAC's leading scorer, poured in 17 points and snagged 10 boards for the Roadrunners. Henry had 18 points and 11 rebounds. Edwards injured her foot early last week and was visibly limping on Jan. 24. By Jan. 26, against DU, Edwards was ready to play tbougl! ..... the foot was still sore. ''I had to suck it up," Edwards said. 'The team was depending on me to play." In the DU game, Edwards led the Roadrunners with 16 points in Metro's 70-61 win. Metro shot just .38 l in the game, but held the Pioneers to .338 and out-rebounded DU 51-38. "I thought we did a great job on the boards," Smith said. "Our effort was great, this team played really hard tonight."

In beating DU, Metro solidified its position as the best team in the CAC. Last season, Metro took second in conference, finishing one game behind DU. But in the CAC tournament the Roadrunners lived up to their name, running home with a road victory over the pioneers in the championship game. Tammi Baumgartner drained the winning bucket with four seconds on the clock, giving Metro a 75-74 win at DU.

After the Jan 26 win, the Roadrunners have won three of the past four meetings against DU and look to be the early favorites to win the conference. "Our team has grown so much," forward Chalae Collard said. "I think at the end of the season, we'll be twice the team we are now." Collard had 15 points and nine boards against DU. The Roadrunners won this game by playing tough defense and Baumgartner, a shooting guard, said the game went as expected. "We knew it would be a tough game and that we would have to play good defense to win," Baumgartner said. "We got turnovers on the full court press, and that made up for the bad shooting." The biggest key to the game may have been the disparity of free throw attempts. Metro shot 22-27, while DU made 6-8. Collard was epic from the line, sinking 11 of 13 freebies. ·· "It is just like practice," Collard said of her performance. "I have a routine, I have confidence in my freethrow shot. I just throw it up there and hope it goes in. I'm just kidding. The coach illustrates how important free-throws are, and we practice them every day." Metro's recent success against the Pioneers may · have contributed to the postgame outburst by DU Coach Tracey Sheehan. Sheehan blasted Smith after the game while the two were shaking hands. "You -are a classless pig, and an embarrassment to women's basketball," Sheehan told Smith. While Sheehan claims the relationship between the two coaches has been bad from the start, no incident has ever taken place between the two until the Jan. 26 game. Smith said he was shocked by the personal attack. "I never said anything to her," Smith said. "She grabbed my hand and started talking." The Roadrunners take on Colorado Christian on Saturday at Auraria Events Center: Tue game tips-off at 5 p,.m. The women will then take the show on the road until Feb 16 when they face Air Force at home at 5 p.m. The Roadrunners stand at 7-12 overall and are in first place in the CAC.

Swimmers a splashing success Depleted roster not much of a factor as both men af!lf women are winning

. TBXI

Trevor Grimm The Metropolitan With their practices already gearing down in preparation for the Intermountain Swim League Championships, the Metro swim teams continue their somewhat surprising success at the team level. Saturday, against Colorado School of Mines, the women picked up another team victory, defeating Mines 128103, while the men fell 138-103. Saturday's meet followed a sweep of Buena Vista College on Jan. 25, when the women picked up a 98-79 win and the men coasted to a 104-57 victory. Considering the team's small numbers, one would expect first-year coach Rob Nasser to be surprised at their success as a team. But that is not the case. "We won the (meets) we expected to win and picked up a few others, especially on the women's side," Nasser said. "On the men's side, we won the ones we expected Jo, and unfortunately we lost some we expected to." And the attitude isn't much different among the team. "I think being as small as w,e are, we're a close team," said Tracy Fostvedt. ''These last couple of meets, we cheered for everyone and lent a helping hand." With th~ two wins, the women's team now sits at 7-2 overall, 6-1 ISL, a significant improvement over last year's record of 11-19, 2-6. Meanwhile, the men sit at 5-3 overall, 4-3 ISL, on pace for a similar record to last season's 14.,_ 10, 4-4 record. Saturday's meet was highlighted on the men's side by Steve Watson, a walkon freshman from Highlands Ranch High School, who broke the school record in the 200 yard backstroke with a - time of 2:01.52. The old record, set last season, belonged to Linc Carlton with a

time 2:03.14. Overall, the men placed first in six of 13 events, but their shortage of nwnbers .again hurt them in the overall score, losing to Mines 138-103. "We swam an excellent meet," said Nasser. "We bad an enormous amount of season-best times out of it. We outswam them, we don' t have enough people, but the people we have outswam them." The women bad little trouble against Mines, making up for a shortage in numbers by placing first in eight of 13 events to cruise to a 128-103 team win . "It surprises me that we have won as many (meets) as we have," said cocaptain Xandi Ainlay, who made the ISL all-conference team last season as a jmµor. Neither the men nor the women had much difficulty against Buena Vista,

and for a change, Metro actually bad the advantage in nwnbers. On the women's side, Buena Vista failed to enter anyone in four event.s, wbil~ Mt:tro picked up first place finishes in nine of 13 events in a 98-79 win. On the men's side, Metro picked up first place finishes in nine of 13 events, as they coasted to an easy 104-57 victory. Both teams conclude their head:.tobead season today, when they host the University of Denver at 4 p.m. The ISL diving championships follow eight days later' on Feb. 11 at the Auraria Events Center pool, with the ISL Championships being held Feb. 11 at Arapahoe High School. The Roadrunners hope to continue last season's success at the conference championships, when the women produced four conference champions and the men three.

Metro Athletic Director William Helman announced on Monday that Bobby Banks of the men's basketball and Sara Eckhoff of the women's basketball squad are student athletes of the month. Banks has started 17 of 19 games to date, leads the Colorado Athletic Conference in steals and is second in assists at 2.7 and 5.2 per game respectively. Eckhoff, also a starting point guard, leads the CAC in assists and is 18th in the nation at 6.6 per game. Nice effort.

Outburst: Sheehan regrets incident, stands ground continued from page 25 crap he does. Daayl has always done it very subtle and done it one-on-one so be can't be caught." She clallns that on more than one occasion Smith bas given DU scouts and fans the middle finger salute and made snide ~marks to assistants and fans. Smith said be bas never initiated any verbal battles or flipped anyone off and did not want to respond to Sheehan. "We don't make any comments, positive or negative, about her or her program." Smith said. "In my view, she bas crossed the line by attacking me penonally like that. But that is her choice, and we arc going to move on. I'm pleased that I did not react and just swept it off and walked away because it didn't deserve a retort." Sheehan said if she had it to do over, she wouldn't have said anything in the heat of the moment after the game. "After you think about it, you wish you hadn't said it," Sheehan said. ''But' I'm not going

to 18ke it back because l absolutely meant it. I owe no apology to Darryl Smith." Smith said Sheehan has made him DU's primary rivalry rather than team-against-team competition. A misguided rivalry is unhealthy for DU players, he said. "It doesn't help their game because players play emotionally enough in a positive way," Smith said. "There is no place for what bappened,andlwasembarrassed for them to even do that, We try to focus on playing basketball." DU and Metro are natural rivals via proximity and because the schools are each other's primary competition each year for the Colorado Athletic Conference title. The teams often play close, thrilling games that are decided by less than five points. Since Darryl Smith took over the program, Metro is 5-5 versus DU, including three wins in their past four games. Metro knocked the Pioneers out of postseason play in the final of the CAC tourn~nt with a last-secolld, over-

time win. The Roadrunners were

2-24 against DU prior to Smith's arrival. While the relationship between tbl'! coaches has never been what one would consider friendly, there has been no public incident until now. Naturally, competition e~sts between all local programs that compete for the same athletes. Three athletes in seasons past have transferred from Metro to DU during Smith's tenure and the question of whether or not S~an recruited them was posed at past CAC meetings. Sheehan denies recruiting any Metro players. , "Those players transferred here on their own," Sheehan said "I never recruited them." Smith said that some of the bad feelings between the schools may have stemmed from players transferring but said be harbors no feelings about it now. "Things that have taken place, we let go a long time ago," Smith said. "[ don't feel .that we've. ever done anything except react when those things have hap-

pened." l Metro Athletic Directot WiUiam Helman said he wrote a letter to DU's athletic director and voiced bis concern at a CAC meeting ori Tl'leSday. "My main concern was just to deter that type of action in the future," Helman said. "If hef response ~as based on her~~ ing he winked at her, it was unjustified and unprofessional." Sheehan made it clear that she has nothing against Metro or its players; •. "l have a lot of respect for Metro," Sheehan said. "I tboU8l!t his kids out-played our kids and tt•s taking nothing away from those kids. I just don't like Daayl."

.............. Brodie 112 paper

In this wide-ranging account of the Ingenuity and perseverance of 61 Innovative African Americans, James Michael Brodie unpacks the attic of history where scores of Inventions, achievements, and Ideas have been hidden away for decades. UntU now, many of these accomplishments went unheralded, as pat.ants were stolen, profits pilfered, and credit denied by the powerfUl and the unscrupulous. Whether llilterate slaves or Harvard graduates, the men and women profiled share more than just powerful Intellects and clever Imaginations. They also share an uncommon dedication to the pursuit of knowlege for Its own sake, a pursuit that In a prejudiced world held little promise of fame or fortune for people of African descent. This unselfish commitment to progress continues to enrich the Ufe or every American, of every race, to this very day.
