Schroeder warns of rmancial aid cuts Christopher Anderson Senior Staff Writer

r

-~

Highlighting student financial aid pitfalls, Denver Nuggets center Dikembe Mutombo and Rep. Patricia Schroeder, D-Colo., briefed an audience at Auraria Saturday.

"Watch very closely what Congress does to student aid," Schroeder said.

"They are talking about cutting it in many different ways."

Schroeder said republicans are thinking about doing away with subsidized student loans and the newly created AmeriCorps program in order to pay for tax cuts.

The congresswoman's announcement came during the same week CU President Judith Albino asked state legislatures to approve higher tuition rates.

Saying funding from the state and funding from tuition are out of balance, Albino said: "I would encourage us to think about not being so limiting on the tuition side. That, of course, may mean paying more attention to financial aid than we have in the past."

Schroeder is asking people to tell U.S. Congress members not to cut the aid or ArneriCorps.

Aides to Colorado's four Republican representatives said they didn't know of any current legislation or talk regarding cuts in student financial aid.

In Mutombo's address, he spoke of the difficulty some of his countrymen of Zaire are having obtaining visas to attend school. Mutombo also said he was grateful for the athletic scholarship he

received while attending college at Georgetown University. Following the forum, Mutombo asked the financial aid counselors how he could set up scholarships for his countrymen once they made it to the United States.

"I will donate the money to pay for school for somebody - an exchange student to come to this country," Mutombo said. "I want to start with my country first, then I am going to expand all over Africa."

Preceding Schroeder's and Mutombo's speeches, counselors from six higher education institutions explained financial aid forms and deadlines to an approximately 40-member audience at the Tivoli Student Union's Zenith Room. The forum was meant for high school students and their parents. It turned into an opportunity to get Mutombo's autograph for several young children and even some adults. Audience member Chuck Campbell, whose daughter will be entering college in the fall, said the event was interesting and useful.

CCD student Dwayne Taylor said Schroeder seemed to be making more of a political appearance, but he was impressed with Mutombo.

"I think he really does care," Taylor said. "I wish more athletes were out to tell students it is not all athletics."

Mutombo, with a height of 7 feet 2 inches, made no unsupported claims when he introduced himself to Metro's financial aid counselor Donelyn James.

"Hi, my name is Dikembe Mutombo. I am the tallest one in the room."

The MetropolitarlAndy Cross DEMOCLASH: Rep. Pat Schroeder urged members of an Auraria audience to call their representatives and oppose financial aid reform.

Loss of Infinity Legal inquiry will determine brings drop in fate of College Republicans â&#x20AC;˘ campus crime Louis A. Landa News Editor

Becky O'Guin Staff Writer The fall in overall campus crime could be linked to the closing of Club Infinity, while the explanation for an increase in traffic accidents and bicycle thefts remains elusive.

Reports compiled by Auraria Public Safety show that crime was down in 1994 except for sexual assault, which rose from eight cases reported in 1993 to 13 in 1994. Ten of the sexual assaults reported were indecent exposure incidents.

"Public Safety believes that the decrease in overall crime is due to the fact that the bar closed in the Tivoli," said Connie Besser of APS, referring to Club Infinity. An increase in crime could be seen when a new bar opens sometime this summer, Besser added. In 55 arrests last year, 22 of them involved alcohol.

There is not always a reason for the reduction in crime, said Detective Dave Metzler of the Denver Police Department. Part of the reason could be the education of citizens and that people are just more aware of crime.

Impact-units that target specific areas and specific see CRIME page 5

Citing a lack of legal precedent on which to make a complete ruling, Metro will allow the College Republicans to.remain on campus.

Metro President Sheila Kaplan said there is going to be extensive legal and constitutional analysis on the issue of associational free speech. This freedom of association is central to the College Republican's refusal to sign a student club registration form that states: "This club will not discriminate on the basis of race color, creed, religion, age, gender, disability or sexual orientation."

"We do not believe that sexual orientation is a protected status," said Nate Hall, chairman of the campus College Republicans. "Sexual orientation is not included in the anti-discrimination laws of the state Constitution, nor is it present in the United States Constitution." Hall said the rights of the College Republicans are being infringed upon by Metro's demanding that they sign the student club registration.

He said this policy has no constitutional support.

Kaplan said there are 200 colleges nationwide and several colleges in Colorado that have similar policies that must be examined before a final determination can be made. l "We have agreed to continue the College

Republicans in their current status for the semester," she said. ''This is not a Metro issue alone. This is a national issue."

Kaplan said that this issue does not necessarily have to go to court. She said her hope was to have some advice on the matter from attorneys in the spring.

"I don't expect to have to go to court at all," she said. "That doesn't mean it couldn't happen, but I don't expect it to happen."

"There is an issue here of principle and I respect that," Kaplan said.

Hall said the policy that the school has created is not a constitutional policy. It doesn't exist anywhere except in the arena of political correctness on a liberal campus.

In the midst of the fallout surrounding the legality of the Metro club registration policy, the College Republicans faculty advisor resigned. Richard Jackson, a Metro Criminal Justice professor, submitted his resignation to Maggie Miller, acting director of Student Activities, Feb. 3.

Hall would not comment or speculate as to the reason for Jackson's abrupt disassociation with the club.

As with all clubs, the College Republicans have 30 days in which to.find a replacement.

Scholar's challenge: use power of education Louis A. Landa News Editor Like a preacher pounding his pulpit, Harvard scholar Come! West challenged Metro students, faculty and adnumstration to stop pointing fingers and discover a dialogue for greater understanding.

West visited the Auraria Campus Monday as part of the Rachel B. Noel Distinguished Professorship lecture series. His energetic manner and mellifluous voice fashioned an appealing combination that packed people into each of the day's events.

West discussed issues as varied as California's Proposition 187 and the influence of music to his life.

His underlying theme was the power of education and the challenges this brings to all.

"Good teaching and good conversation should bring into question those things you feel most strongly about," he said. His bright, piercing eyes connected with audience members as he summoned them to "go back to the drawing board" and re-examine all they have learned.

He said this was essential for a good education. 路 He called this a dark moment in America, and warned against nationalism and the risk a country encounters when taking itself too seriously.

"I see nationalism as a form of tribalism," he said.

"Anytime you have a philosophy that is willing to take up arms in the name of nationalism, it acts as a screen to perpetuate the status quo."

He referred to progressive nationalism as something that could welcome all people, but stopped short of giving it much promise.

West dared the audience to look at history and examine how it has been manufactured to present a pale view of the past.

He juxtaposed George Washington with Elijah

Mohammed. He said each was a racial supremacist in their own way, emphasizing that each man had good and bad aspects of their characters. West said we each have that within us, and it is up to us to identify each side of ourselves.

He defined a difference between vocation and profession. During lunch he asked a small group of students to identify their calling in life and not just a profession

they desired.

"How does one be one's self to the best of one's ability and remain self-critical?" he said. "That's the challenge for anybody-white, black, red, yellow. You have to come to terms with who you are."

He said being one's self is a matter of struggling with one's self. He presented this as perhaps the greatest struggle for us all.

Crime: Sexual assaults increase in 1994 Continued from page 3 crimes have had a definite impact on the criminal element, said Metzler.

While most crime is down, traffic accidents at Auraria rose 19 percent from 1993 to 1994. There isn't a specific reason for the increase although Auraria lots parked more cars in 1994 than in 1993.

The vast majority of traffic accidents aie "fender benders" Besser said. Some are caused by people trying to avoid jaywalkers or forgetting to set a parking brake when leaving their parked car.

The only intersection near Auraria that racks up a significant amount of accidents is Colfax A venue and Kalamath Street, which bad 69 accidents compared to the city's worst intersection, Alameda A venue and Federal Boulevard, that had 94 accidents last year, said Sgt. Levy of the Denver Police Department.

Levy attributed the increase in accidents to population growth and the fact that more people were using Colfax Avenue while 6th Avenue was under

construction.

Bicycle theft leapt 25 percent in 1994. "Whenever you have of mix of kids and access, you are going to have theft," Besser said.

Auraria Public Safety has installed new bike racks that acc~mmodate the newer bike styles and have undercover officers patrolling the bicycle parking areas to thwart the thefts.

As of 1995, Auraria's campus will be in District 6, which is a new Police district encompassing most of lower downtown including Coors Field and the new Elitch's.

The new district was created in an effort for police to be more pro-active in fighting crime, because where there are more people, there is more crime, said Metzler.

They are testing a more communityinvolved police network in the new district.

"It will be a more hand-in-glove operation between policemen and citizens," Metzler said.

take," Dr. William Wiener, director of the lab school said.

Most of the inmates at Lookout Mountain are at a sexually active age, said Phyllis Graham-Dickerson, instructor of the Community Health Nursi.ng class.

"We want to develop their selfesteem and ego so they don't go out and have sex to produce a baby so they can say, 'Hey, I'm a man,"' Dickerson said . ''They need to understand that being a father doesn't make them a man."

But Dickerson said the nurses were warned that the job is not going to be easy, and that they may run into some difficulties.

"They were warned that the kids will probably hit on them, or get fresh, or maybe say something out of line," Dickerson said.

"But some (nurses) are real eager because they feel like they have more

control in this type of classroom setting than they do in public schools," she said. 'The faculty and security are right there with them, and if a student acts up there is punishment. They are pulled out of class, sent back to the dorm, put in isolation or whatever. We have no recourse in public schools."

Dickerson said she was told by Miguel Elias, principal of Lookout Mountain, that the students are eager to see new faces. "They'll listen to someone else, instead of the faculty they see everyday. We will be enforcing what they already teach," she said.

The nurses who do teach the class will do so on a voluntary basis; it is not a mandatory part of their course work.

Wiener said Metro won the contract to teach at Lookout Mountain last August. Metro also has three Criminal Justice internships, and a few workstudy students from the Education department at the lab school. Wiener added that the Education department has plans to begin a more extensive program there by the end of this year.

"It's going to be really interesting, as this is the first time we have done this," Dickerson said. "We're hoping it will work well and that we will be able to continue."

Not terribly excited An employee of the Auraria Book Center reported that a man exposed himself to her on Feb. 3 in parking lot A. While walking from the Tivoli Student Union to the parking garage, the victim made eye contact with a man she described to be in his mid-30s with grey hair tied in a ponytail, wearing a dark jacket and a dark cap with a military logo. The man then showed his flaccid penis to the woman, who walked to the parking hut east of the garage. APS officers searched for the man but did not find him. The woman says she can identify the perpetrator and will call campus police if she sees him again.

Tri-Institutional Legal Services is a student-fee funded program that serves registered students from Metropolitan State College of Denver, University of Colorado at Denver and Community College of Denver. The program is staffed by a licensed attorney and a paralegal who assist students with landlord-tenant problems, crimi· nal prosecutions, traffic/DUI cases, and family/domestic issues. Specifically, the attorney engages in a problem-solving process with the student to identify legal issues, provide legal advice and explore various strategies and options. If a case requires legal representation and/or is beyond the expertise of the program's attor· ney, the program has a referral list of attorneys who have agreed to offer a reduced fee to registered students from the Autaria Campus. Because the program's budget only allows for 20 hours per week of the attorney's time, it is necessary to contact Victoria Norris or Samuel Ralph Allen to ensure an office visit or phone interview.

I feel that the College Republicans and myself were grossly misrepresented in the Feb. 3 issue of The Metropolitan. The headlines describing our position on the admission of homosexual membership were wrong. The headline and the article stated that the College Republicans do not allow homosexuals to join our club. This is not true, as I stated in my lengthy interview with The Met's reporter. Our position is that sexual orientation has no place in an organization such as ours.

The term "sexual orientation" is included in the anti-discrimination policy for clubs here on campus. It is my personal belief that that statement is .not only too open-ended, but also too intrusive.

First of all, by "open-ended" I mean that "sexual orientation" is too broad.

Any direction a person might choose could be included in this statement.

Granted, the real meaning is implied.

Which direction a person takes their sexual life is a personal decision. It has no reflection whatsoever on their intelligence or their basic human nature.

Also the statement is too intrusive; it immediately makes a public issue out of someone's deepest personal life. We do not want the administration, or any-

one else, intruding into our personal lives. Who a person chooses to share this part of their lives with should not be an issue for public discussion. It is personal and private and should be kept that way.

When an issue is made certain, problems will present themselves. But in this case there is one main problem.

I put to the students a question: Who do you want involved in your sex life? If you want administrations and people you don't even know involved in your personal life, then under no circumstances have you any right to complain.

When you invite these groups into one part of your personal life they will try to assume control of everything you do.

So, you have no right to raise a fuss when other policies are made that affect your life either for the good or the bad - simply because this intrusion is what you so badly wanted in the first place.

The intrusion can only continue on once it is let in. So, it is best not to even let it in. Keep those things that you don't want to be made an issue of out of the arena. Otherwise, you will have that intrusion everywhere, and no grounds to defend yourself because you let it in.

Briefly, I want to speak on the article. I don't feel that my thoughts were

adequately expressed. The main point I tried to make was this: If you want to be a member of the College Republicans, you must agree to further· our cause.

You must believe in our ideals and stand firm in them. It does not matter who you are as long as you are willing to work with us to fight for our beliefs. I recall stating in my interview that our door was, and is, always open.

Somehow this was left out. But, that invitation is still in effect. If anyone wants to come in and discuss this or any other topic, they are more than welcome. But, and this is the only case where we will discriminate - you must come in a responsible and intelligent manner. Hostility will be responded to with a polite request to be left alone and the door being shut.

We are at an institute of higher learning. And my organization is here to present our views with the desire to at least make people think. We will continue to stand firm in our beliefs and to fight for our cause. But on the same note, we are always willing to learn, and if you have something of value to offer then come and see us.

Joe Floyd College Republlcans

We want responsible discussion As Chairman of the Metro College Republicans I would like to clean up a little mess created by The_ Metropolitan on Feb. 3. The College Republicans do not discriminate against gays. We are open to all students who wish to join and participate in club functions.

However, we are a political club. Our purpose of being on campus is not to coddle and make students feel good.

We are here to spread the conservative platform and the beliefs of the Republican party. Our beliefs and platform will not change, especially when

our constitutional rights are being infringed upon.

The real issue is one of "sexual orientation." How can a state-funded school create policies pertaining to a behavior in which some students engage? "Sexual orientation" has not been deemed a protected-status term.

This language doesn't exist in the antidiscrimination laws within the State Constitution nor the United States Constitution. So why should it be thrown into Metro's anti-discrimination clause? Your sexual behavior should be

of no concern to the college. It should be a private matter between you and the other participant(s).

Hopefully we can allow you to see the College Republicans as they really are. Often times people hear things which portray us as bad or hateful. That just isn't the case. If you wish to talk about this topic further, please don't hesitate to come to our office and discuss this or any other issue in an intelligent and responsible manner.

Nate Hall Chairman, College Republicans

Metro thought police are bapk in action I am very alarmed at the return of the Metro thought police. I had hoped when we got rid of that parasite, former Metro President Tom Brewer, that perhaps someone might be selected to reign in the insanity of political correctness. Instead, the board in their mighty wisdom brought us the queen of PC, Metro President Sheila Kaplan.

President Kaplan has stated that she will stand up for any oppression on this campus. Yet, she, and many actions of her administration, show that they are the oppressors. To force the College Republicans to think in a particular way is inexcusable. But, I can

almost understand this one. She is involved in the political scheme of Colorado. She needs to protect herself and please those who gave her the job (although I still see this as no excuse, just a reason for why she acts in particular ways).

However, the fact that Megan Reyes has not stood on the side of the College Republicans, people she ·is supposed to be representing, and said that this IS discrimination is abominable. She said in last week's Met that she would be there and speak out on acts of •...oppression and discrimination.• Where are you, Megan? Is it only

popular to stand up for the Politically Correct? Do you only represent this point of view? Shouldn't you be representing the entire student body, whether it is PC or not?

Higher education should encourage free thought. This action by the school has censorship written all over it.

The school needs to realize that individuality of thought is what makes our country great. Forcing anyone to think in one particular way is nothing short of tyranny.

Subway denies price gouging I was shocked to see the blatant attack on the Tivoli Subway in your Feb. 3 issue of the Metropolitan. The article is chock full of assumption, half-truths and inaccuracy.

Is this your idea of thorough, investigative reporting or merely an attempt to discredit a company which actually has the lowest average prices in the downtown Denver market?

Your article tries to imply price gouging based simply on the fact that the author was able to locate a few stores in a single north suburban area with somewhat lower prices. Since when does a survey of three stores derive the conclusion that students "can expect to pay higher prices at the Tivoli than at other Denver-area Subway outlets?

This is a vague, misleading representation which has very little thought or statistical fact to back it.

The fact is, compared to all other Subways in the Downtown Denver area, the location at 1050 W. Colfax and the location at the Tivoli have the lowest average menu prices on commonly carried 6-inch portions. On average, students spend $2.70 for a 6-inch portion at the Tivoli compared to $2.78 when they visit one of two Subways on the 16th Street Mall. Visiting Civic Center Park? Subway has an average menu price of $2.74. How about a stroll down East Colfax? 1919 E. Colfax is the only other Downtown location with the same average price as the Tivoli. All tolled, there are eight locations in Downtown Denver with average prices ranging from $2.70 - $2.78, with the average being $2.74.

As for the suburban areas, prices run the gamut based on the costs of doing business in a particular area. For example, using the same criteria for comparison, the Subway at 2052 E. Arapahoe Rd. has an average menu price of $2.74, 8223 S. Quebec averages $2.74, and 2008 S. University averages $2.70. On the other hand, 11417 E. Colfax averages $2.57 and your selected 8025 Sheridan location averages only $2.47.

The point is, certain areas of town such as Highlands Ranch, Downtown Denver and Cherry Creek are much more expensive and are prime examples of locations which can have rents two or even three times more expensive than other parts of town. Incidentally, the Tivoli commands an even higher rate per square foot with a percentage rent attached. How can Ms. Pontiere expect any business to take a prescription for disaster by not adjusting prices based on expenses?

Furthermore, your charge that Tivoli Subway was

.

compared to the locations of your choice and found to be "always higher'' is erroneous. Had the author done her homework, she would have concluded that Tivoli Subway has the same prices as her selected locations on several sandwiches. Mentioning only the 6-inch portions, 1050 W. Colfax and the Tivoli equaled the prices of the veggie and cheese, seafood and crab, roast beef and barbecue beef sandwiches at one or all of her locations surveyed.

Subway has long been a concerned, dedicated part of not only the college community but ·the Lincoln Park community in which the college exists. We have no intentions of offering anything but good value to our customers through a combination of fair pricing and relatively heavy discounting and couponing. Does The Metropolitan recognize the fact that the Tivoli Subway and 1050 W. Colfax always participate in local market and national specials such as the $1.69 combo, $1.49 tuna or the recent $1.69 meatball? Perhaps it was simply an oversight that you failed to credit the two locations at Auraria for offering one of the lowest prices to be found anywhere on a 6-inch meatball meal deal - $2.99. Did Ms. Pontiere query our store managers about discounting or couponing the Auraria Subways are involved in? If she had, she would know that we print over 20,000 of our own coupons each semester and distribute them via classroom bulletin boards, campus mailboxes, and occasionally through our Subway Sandwich Man. Furthermore, through our threeyear sponsorship of the Metro Roadrunners basketball and volleybaH clubs, we are able to print all ticket backs with a valuable "buy one get one free" offer. Do the bargain locations you compare us to also accept coupons or Sub Club Cards from ANY Subway or even our competitor Blimpie?

I know of several which do not.

I do not deny that a few Subway locations may have lower prices, however, your simplistic article fails to recognize or address each owner's varying costs of doing business, marketing strategies or management philosophy.

You draw false conclusions for your readers from observations which are both inaccurate and hardly statistical in nature. It is time to halt your sensationalism and focus on the facts. Perform y9ur research and apply some intelligent thought in your reporting. Only your readers are being taken for a ride if you continue to mislead them by assuming the facts rather than uncovering them.

Ruben Perez should find facts I feel it necessary to respond to certain remarks made

by Ruben Perez in his interview printed in the Jan. 27, 1995, issue of The Metropolitan. Regarding the problems with discipline in the public schools, Mr. Perez points a verbal finger at teacher-training institutions and accuses them of not getting candidates "out on the front lines." In addition, he criticizes collegiate faculty at such places for an "ivory tower" mentality, and for "not having been out in the schools for twenty years," preferring instead to sit back and write books.

I am willing to admit that I am ignorant of conditions at Mr. Perez's alma mater, New Mexico $tate, as well as the caliber of teachers with which he interacts daily. Instead of indulging in blanket speculations, I believe it would be more productive to answer these allegations with some facts about the college whose representative Mr. Perez was addressing.

First of all, Metro State's certification program is respected throughout the region, both for its comprehensiveness and its rigor. Students must complete two extensive field studies of observation and assistance "on the front lines", pass a battery of tests, and compile two hundred hours of work with students, all before being allowed to set foot in a classroom as a student teacher. Contrary to existing in an ivory tower, the program's faculty, as well as

those from other departments who teach methods of instruction in their various subjects, are notable for their experience both at the college level and in the public classroom at all levels. I have yet to take a class taught by a faculty member I felt to be "out of touch" with the problems I will be facing. I know all this not just because I am a student of the program, but because I researched before my decision to attend Metro. I found out the facts first, a policy Mr. Perez might do well to emulate.

I sympathize with Mr. Perez's frustration. I recently finished one of those semesters of field study and nobody could spend a day in a public school and fail to do so. It is a logical step to direct some of that frustration at the programs that trained those responsible for the dispensation of discipline in the classroom. Lashing out in blanket, nonfact-based generalizations at those programs however, much like mass suspensions against a supervisor's direct instruction, is leaping to a non-productive extreme.

The problems that Mr. Perez faces currently are the same ones I will deal with in the near future. They are complex and multi-causal in nature. Believing they can be dealt with so simply is simply naive.·

OK, let me see if I've got this straight. First we hear that 'despite an aggressive advertising campaign' {The Met 1/27/95), enrollment is down.

Students answer London calling Jeanie Straub Senior Staff Writer

.1

They came, they saw and they spent a lot of quid.

But the eight Metro students and one Metro English professor that participated in the London Semester last fall experienced a city they'll not soon forget.

For Amy Flynn, 21, a former Metro political science major now in international affairs at UCD, the semester was as much an emotional education as an academic one.

"Leaming to live in another country," she said, "you find the difference between who you really are and who your culture makes you be.

"London was beautiful. It was exactly the way I expected it - like a .fairy tale."

Metro students have traveled to London every semester since 1986. Seven faculty members and more than 100 students have attended since then, and 10 percent of the students have completed internships in London, said Brooks Van Everen, Metro history professor and coordinator of international education.

The program was born out of the Extended Campus Program and is under the auspices of the American Institute for Foreign Study, an organization that administers programs for American students abroad.

Classes tend to be humanities - lots of English and history - but political science and mathematics are also offered.

For one of his London Semester classes last fall, Metro English professor Jim Aubrey picked novels that were set in the city. Then, his students often would visit places that figured in the novels. The students would get a more vivid picture of the ideas presented in the novels, as they were typically written for English readers, he said.

"It's not that you can't read Virginia Woolf and appreciate her without the introduction," Aubrey said, "but there is an advantage. Her ideal implied reader is someone who knows' London."

"We spent about two hours walking one day," he said. "We walked some streets starting in Westminster where Mrs. Dalloway (the main character in the novel of the same name by Virginia Woolf) lives, and we walked down Bon Street where she walked to buy some flowers, and it hasn't changed that much since then. The streets are all crooked and at odd angles."

That day the class met at Big Ben at noon, walked through St. James's Park, and walked past Buckingham Palace where the Queen lives.

"We went up to Regent's-Park where two characters were having a dialogue," said Kristine Marshall, 22, an English major who attended the semester and took · three classes taught by Aubrey, "and we tried to find the bench where they were sitting.

"I think Jim was the perfect professor to go, because he really got us to see the city. Regent's Park ended up being my favorite place. It's beautiful - you can't even imagine. It's wide open space; green, green grass."

London is really crowded, Marshall said, but it wasn't as dirty as she thought it would be, and the weather was beautiful.

"It was the warmest November in 350 years," Aubrey said. "It rained a few times. In fact, it rained on our Mrs. Dalloway tour."

Blue plaques all over the city commemorate houses where famous people lived, and Aubrey took his students to a few so they could get a sense of who the writers were by where they spent their time.

When his students were reading the first half of Beowulf, Aubrey took them to see the Beowulf manuscript at the British Museum.

They went to a performance of a Charles Dickens impersonator at Dickens Museum. The BBC was there filming a documentary about Dickens, and a couple of Metro students got on camera.

Aubrey also took his students to see the construction

THE PERFECT HOSTESS: Metro Engilsh professor Jim Aubrey took his students on a walking tour In Fitzroy Square to a house where Virginia Woolf lived. of the new Globe Theater. The original, where Shakespeare's plays were performed, burned down several years before Shakespeare died.

Students took classes from a variety of professors, inclu_ding a controversial professor from Oxford whose remarks offended a lot of Americans. He was active in negotiations between England and Ireland.

In 'the class British Life and Culture, which was required, lectures were on British popular culture, the monarchy, controversy over the royal family and whether or not England should become a republic with low-prestige figureheads.

But life in London was not all books and lectures.

Flynn said she would recommend the London Semester, but would suggest an alternate living situation, as the worst part of the stay for her was living with 60 other Americans at a dormitory location. They were five people in a two room flat.

"We lived right next to these guys who were really young and from California," she said. ''They were really obnoxious. They would shoot fire crackers out the window."

Aubrey lived in a flat half a mile from where. the British Life and Culture lectures were presented.

"We'd typically walk over there after the lecture and have dinner or go out for food - Indian food - which is tlie London equivalent of fas~ food," he said. ''The great thing about London is all these little restauran~ all over the place. You can eat inexpensively.

"We'd go out to the pub in my neighborhood sometimes for a pint of ale."

At the pub, one student met her favorite rock musician - Shane MacGowan, formerly of the London-based Pogues.

"You just go out to a pub and you can meet the English people," Marshall said. "It's part of their culture to go to pubs. We met friends there that we had for our whole trip. You just have to be friendly and not go out in a herd of Americans."

Londoners are receptive, she said, "if you are receptive to them. If you go in there with a good attitude and

don't be a stuck-up American and don't be shy, because they'll think you're a stuck-up American. You have to try. You have to work hard to meet people."

Flynn went to pubs, but her London experience was different from everyone else's.

"I went to a lot of movies," she said. "I went to see Miss Saigon. I did a lot of little things like go to markets on the weekend."

Marshall said the most valuable thing during the London Semester was her tube pass. Tube is the nickname for London's subway system.

"You could go anywhere in the whole city. I was never bothered once when I was there, and I was out all hours of the night."

In contrast, cars are a problem, because traffic moves slowly down one-way streets, Aubrey said.

Confusion is also a problem. Aubrey rented a car to drive to the English Channel to visit a house Virginia Woolflived in at the time she committed suicide.

"Coming back after dark, trying to find my way back into London, I got totally lost and drove around for several hours trying to navigate just by the glow of the lights."

The British accent was no barrier, although "the dry cleaner down the street kept calling me 'love,"' Aubrey said.

Money was the biggest obstacle of all.

Students were advised to bring about $500 a month in spending money. At the end, several students said they needed about twice Uiat much if they wera... to have any kind of a social life.

"And if you smoke," Aubrey said, "cigarettes are about $4 a pack."

To participate in the London Semester, Marshall said she took out the maximum student loan and worked 70 hours a week for about 25 weeks to make up the difference. She spent a total of $11,000 for the four months.

"Most people probably did not spend that much," she said. "I spent freely because I did not want my trip to be hindered in any way. I lived on 100 pounds a weekabout $175. So I was spending a lot of money, but I went to 15 plays. Beer alone is really expensive."

Flynn said her parents helped her, but she also worked three jobs during the summer to pay for the rest.

"I'm still paying it off, actually," she said.

Most students were broke by December, Aubrey said, and praying that their credit cards would hold out.

There was some regret about leaving London.

"I had an internship with the British Parliament," Flynn said. "I spent most of my time doing that. It was really difficult at first, very difficult. But after I got used to it, it was the best experience I ever had. I was starting to develop my own little life there. I was very sad to leave, but at the same time, I was very happy to be coming home."

Marshall said she was sad to come home and is still sad.

"I didn't want to leave," she said. "It would be a great place to Jive.

"I'd recommend it to everybody. And just find a way to get the money. I was paying rent and paying tuition and getting the money. You can get the money, it's just a matter of wanting to do it."

NOTHING'$ SHOCKING: Left, Sean Schott's painting Powerhouse Pharaoh, displays his taste of the bizarre.

Right, Schott's Birth of a Nation shows a female mannequin covered In paint colored and textured llke coagulated blood holding a placenta. "There's a speaker between her legs that wlll eventually play a mixture of pornography, recorded drug transactions over the phone, violence and crime statistics," Schott said. These are just a few of the pieces featured by Schott路 at his senior thesis show Feb. 3. The senior thesis exhibits help prepare students for graduate school and were started by the Art department In 1988.

S"tartrfng

ima es horrify an intrigue Jeanie Straub

Senior Staff Writer To his senior thesis show Feb. 3, Metro fine arts student Sean Schott wore a chartreuse button-up shirt with a black bow tie and drank Chicago Legacy Red beer out of a large paper Coke cup.

The room was darkened, and Jirni Hendrix blared from a hidden stereo.

Against one wall was Schott's Birth ofa Nation: A mannequin covered in paint colored and textured like coagulated blood standing in front of a tattered, faded American flag . Her eyes are covered with copper plates that are screwed into her skull.

From between her legs extends an umbilical cord attached to a placenta she holds out in front of her. Schott has sewn up her mouth with leather stitching.

"I was trying to decide between leather stitching and that red-rubber-ball bondage look, a belt, duct tape, different things like ..t1Jat," he said. "But leather stitching came to mind first, because I usually do a lot ofvoodoo-type zombies and stuff. ''There's a speaker between her legs that will eventually play a mixture of pornography, recorded drug transactions over the phone, violence and crime statistics."

"It's easy to see most of it's shocking," said Warren Arcila, 29, a Metro fine arts major and friend of Schott's who was at the show. "I think he's going through a transitional stage, where artis_ts go from the rebellious, shock-everybody stage to more conceptual stuff. This is all in-your-face. You know what he's talking about."

Susan Jo~epher, chairwoman of the Art

department, said the senior thesis exhibits prepare students for success in graduate school.

"When they get to graduate school, they're old hands and they're not super nervous. ''This is an exceptional show - very strong - because it's multi-media, which is very exciting, which is the way the world is going."

The department started the program in 1988 as its senior experience, which Metro requires of seniors in every department.

The seniors choose faculty - a senior thesis committee - to review their work.

The faculty members discuss the work and question the artist.

"It is a defense of his thesis - just like graduate school," Josepher said.

Voodoo Christmas is a cross of halfinch steel rods wrapped with two 63-foot lengths of chasing Christmas lights. The Christ is articulated from match sticks.

Schott separated out the individual bones including 13 ribs - and glued them together, and he's colored the piece with paraffin wax, coconut, a little bit of paint, and an upside-down wolf skull.

"He's strapped to the cross," Schott said. "My influence was Haitian shrines that are based in Catholicism. I think they're really beautiful. You'll have the Virgin Mary and the rosary and then chicken feet. It has a really visual dichotomy that I think is really cool."

"You have the thin, ailing Christ that is sort of our humanity and what we are now," Schott said...Then you have the cross itself,

The Metropolita!VJenny Sparks

which is western culture - Christmas all the way - with the lights and the 'spend money.' And he doesn't actually touch the cross except he's tied to it."

At Metro, Schott was most receptive to Art department professor Robert Mangold.

"It wasn't that he influenced me," Schott said, "but he kind of allowed me to put my feet on the furniture."

Schott's personal influences were '70s pulp illustrators Berni Rightson, Frank Frazetta, H.R. Giger and Arthur Suydam.

"Heavy Metal from the rnid-'70s was like a monthly bible."

"I wanted like 1930's Mississippi traveling freak show," Schott said of his piece The Hatchery, "b,ecause they have twoheaded babies - just weird shit in these little cars - and they drive around and they show people. And that's kind of what I wanted, was that visual element."

The Hatchery is essentially a giant uterus, including Plexiglas tubes, so even though the body is rotted and decomposed, she can still manufacture, he said.

"That sounds really clinical, doesn't it?"

Inside the tubes are small plastic soldiers. ''They were chosen arbitrarily," he said,

"because I couldn't find plastic fetuses.

Well, I could, but they were like $4.95~ apiece, and I thought that was really crazy."

He said be used to formulate grandiose schemes he wanted to convey, but they were always misinterpreted.

"So I just started doing things that would jerk people around."

Anatomy Version 1 is a drawing, one of a series of three different poses.

"I've been in enough drawing classes, and I've drawn the naked body in chairs and holding grapes and all that bullshit. And it's simple. It's not that challenging anymore." , So Schott made a Rubenesque woman suspended upside-down by ropes.

"A friend of mine told me women might find it offensive. It's not intended for that reason. It's just intended for me to learn anatomy. Once they made that comment then I said, 'WelJ, I'IJ put a gaudy gold frame on it and some red velveteen curtains, like it's a stage."'

Heidi Laschanzky, 27, a UCD art therapy major who attended the show, wasn't offended in the least.

"I understand where he's coming from'; what he's doing. It may be just that he enjoys the female figure. Sometimes we do things in art that represent ourselves. Maybe this is a part of him - his female side that is somehow tormented."

Raisin. chronicles life in the '50s TLe Melropo/ilaa

Louis A. Landa News Editor If the phrase "American Treasure" should ever be applied to any work of art, it should be permanently amxed · to Lorraine Hansberry's A Raisin In The Sun. This universal story of the human spirit chronicles the life of the Younger family as it struggles with conflicting dreams and a conflicting society in the 1950s. It's difficult to imagine that this story of a black family from the South Side of Chicago can have more relevance to today's America than it did in ,__ 1958 when it was written, but it does.

The production of Raisin playing at the Denver Civic Theater is buttressed by two powerful and pointed performances by Leonard Wilson (Walter) and Lillie L. Betts . . (Mama), and a standout supporting performance by Corey -;- Benard Jones (Asagai). The three actors form the core of what is not always a solid cast. The other cast members are at their best during scenes with these three fine actors.

The first act centers around the pending arrival of a $10,000 insurance check the family receives following the death of their patriarch. This proud and·ambitious family is "> divided on how to best utilize this new fortune. Dreams of medical school, a new home and owning a business keep the family in a constant and tangled struggle.

The first act is at its best during scenes involving both Wilson and Betts. They feed off each other's strength, and each gives the other just enough to balance the audience's , attention.

Wilson hits every line, inflection and posture during the closing part of the first act. In this part, Walter expresses his desires for life and his frustration for never being able to achieve them. His words stand as a testament for the entire family, if not an entire people.

He captures the tone of the play by saying: "Sometimes it's like I can see the future stretched out in

front of me just plain as day. Hanging over the edge of my days. Just waiting for me - a big looming lank space full of nothing." The entire play is worth seeing for this scene alone. It's solid and touches everyone, especially those living with a vessel of unfulfilled dreams.

In the second act, we find that Mama has purchased a house in a white neighborhood and that Walter is all but fired from his job as a chauffeur. This leaves Walter's dreams of owning a liquor store as empty as the bottles he's consumed. Wilson performs these scenes of inebriation perfectly, never overplaying them or fishing for cheap laughs.

Again, Wilson and Betts connect for a deeply emotional scene where Mama gives her trust and the remainder of the money to Walter. Betts moves through the dialogue with ease and commitment. Her.delivery in the short exchange is flawless.

The cast finally comes together during an ~inotionally charged scene where it is learned that the family's nest egg has been absconded by Walter's shady business partner.

Director Dwayne Carrington's staging of this challenging scene moves the action around the stage, giving the audience an emotional and visual charge.

The visual appeal of the production is founded in the fastidiously manicured set by Henry E. Lowenstein. The detail is almost too honest. I say that simply because it reminds me of the home where I spent the first 12 years of my life.

Technically, the production did have its rough spots.

However, opening-night sound cues and costume problems were overcome by the actors, and were not cause for major distraction.

The program production notes say this is the first major production of Raisin since 1968. Fortunately for this production, there are enough strong performances--in the right roles to make it worth seeing.

JERK OFF: Making the transition from cult status as merry pranksters to celluloid icons proves a stretch for Johnny Brennan and Kam~I Ahmed In the new movie The Jerky Boys.

Pranksters phone home Isaac Mion Staff Writer Watch out liver lips, The Jerky Boys are back in the saddle to deliver another round of prank calls. Only this time they're doing it on the big screen.

John Brennan and Kamal Ahmed, the original phone pranksters who created a cult following across the country with their tapes of prank calls to unsµspecting victims, play themselves in their new movie The Jerky Boys.

One might ask, how do you make a whole movie about two lowlifes making crank calls from Queens (The Jerky Boys home turf)? The plot, ~owever, is surpris-

ingly adequate and fast-paced compared to other funny flicks like Dumb and Dumber that try to carry a weak plot with a goofy character and incessant attempts to draw guffaws from the audience.

No, the comedy of The Jerky Boys does not lend itself to cockamamie acts of semi-retardation. Instead it relies more on the cocky, hard-nosed characters of prank personalities like Frank Rizzo who calls up a roofing company to describe his dilemma: "Yea, listen here tough guy, I got the Mexicans up there on the roof, they're up there slappin' each other with the hot tar.

Jerky: dried up and not too chewy continued from page 18 Then my wife goes up there. She don't know what the hell she's doin' so I go up there and I fire her down onto the car you know. Then the Mexican, he thinks he's cute. He looks in the window and fires his little buddy through the window."

In the movie, Brennan gets his Frank Rizzo character involved with a mob boss, whom he calls "fruity pants" and "milky liquor" among other endearing terms, as he sets up a night on the town for himself and Kamal as two of "Rizzo's boys."

The plot takes off from there as Kamal and Brennan masquerade around various New York hot spots as mobsters

with very bad taste in suits, before they are found out and a hectic manhunt ensues.

A cameo by washed-up rocker Ozzy Osbourne is made halfway through when The Jerky Boys pose as his roadies to escape the bloodthirsty gangsters.

Tom Jones also makes an appearance, as does Helmet, to round out an excellent musical score.

Director James Melkonian and crew have done for The Jerky Boys what previous directors did with the likes of Cheech and Chong, making up for a lack of creativity aod possible redundancy with a well-paced plotline and plenty of our favorite obnoxious New York smart-ass.

Wonten's hoops still perfect Roadrunners improve to 7-0 in Colorado Athletic Conference, making run at undefeated CAC season Michael BeDan Sports Editor Metro's women's basketball team continued to eradicate Colorado Athletic Conference opponents last week with wins over Colorado Christian University Saturday (81-59), and the University of Southern Colorado Feb. 2 (7063).

The Roadrunners, winners of seven straight, have beaten every team in the CAC at least once this season and appear to be on a take-no-prisoners mission to win the conference title. They stand at 9-12 overall and 7-0 in the CAC, 2 games ahead of second place DU. Metro put on a basketball clinic Saturday, smacking CCU for the second time this season. Metro coach Darryl Smith said he was impressed with the total effort of his team.

"They played so well, I enjoyed watching the game," Smith said. "We won't get beat if we play like that."

The Roadrunners indeed looked to be unbeatable as they baffled CCU jn the first half by draining outside shots over the Cougars' zone defense.

Metro forward Mary Henry was unstoppable from the perimeter, raining jump shots with impunity during a 10-0 run early in the first half, taking advantage of CCU's game plan to double-team Metro center and CAC scoring leader Vanessa Edwards.

"I had such a terrible game against USC," Henry said after the game. "I came out intense and relentless no matter what."

Sorry, Whitney Houston, Henry was Every Woman on this night. She tied her career high, scoring 23 points. She snagged l 0 boards, had three steals, two blocked shots and two assists. Rumor has it she even sold 17 hot dogs at halftime.

Henry's hot shooting opened up the inside for Edwards in the second half and she responded by running roughshod over CCU,

scoring 22 points in the game, 14 in the final 20 minutes.

"It wasn't anything special tonight," said the always modest Edwards after the game.

"We just came out tonight to make up for that (USC) game the other night."

Edwards had eight rebounds in the game and shot .750 on 9- I 2 shooting.

As a team, the Roadrunners shot .523 and out-rebounded the Cougars 44-36. Metro got a big lift from backup forward/center Shiloh Justice. Justice came off the bench to chip in 11 points and grab six boards in 20 minutes of action. Justice said the whole team was focused on turning in a solid performance.

"I really haven't played with a lot of confidence lately," Justice said. "Now l feel a lot better, the level never went down when we substituted."

Metro led by as many as 29 in the second half before closing out the 22 point victory.

The USC game on Feb. 2 was a win for Metro, but Smith was not happy with his team' s effort in that game.

"We are 30 points better than that team," Smith said, alluding to the narrow 70-63 win. ''These next two weeks are the dog days, so if you are going to have a poor effort, luckily it's against a team that we can take care of."

The Roadrunners were far from dominant in this game but managed to win despite shooting just .400 and committing 12 turnovers.

Point guard Sara Eckhoff scored 20 points against the Indians, but said she was not happy with the team' s effort.

"We had a real lackadaisical week and that is how we came out and played," Eckhoff said. "I don' t have a lot of good things to say right now."

Henry and shooting guard Tammi Baumgartner each had 12 points in the game, while Edwards finished with 10 points and 12 rebounds.

Swimmers shun curse of DU 4

Trevor Grimm The Metropolitan

If attitude is a major part of success in sports, the Metro swim teains are in good shape heading into the Intermountain Swim League meets.

Both the women and men set team milestones Friday when they defeated the University of Denver in the season's last head-to-head meet. The women swept the two season meets from DU for the first time ,... in school history, while the men picked up their first victory against the Pioneers in Roadrunner history.

With the ISL diving and swimming championships taking place over the next two weekends, Metro has no shortage of confidence regarding their chances of success.

"I think it's really good," said Shannon Sargent, who was the ISL champion in the 500 freestyle last year as a freshman. "A lot of other people know we have a good team and it lets other teams in the conference know we can do it if we really want to." ~ In the 126-98 victory, the women placed first in nine of 13 events, despite the fact that DU entered more swimmers in virtually every event. Highlighting the day were season bests by Tori Ainlay in the JOO free (55 .36), Xandi Ainlay in the 500 free (5:32.24), and Buffy Conway in the 1 meter ;- diving (178.45 points). "(The sweep) makes us feel real good," Tori Ainlay said. "It's where we show with a lack of numbers, we can still come away with several firsts."

The men won 122-106, getting nine first

The women are 8-1 overall, 6-1 ISL. place finishes to pick up a long-awaited win against DU. Season bests were recorded by Tracy Fostvedt in the 500 free (5:01.97) and the 1000 free (10:33.22), Linc Carlton in the 100 backstroke (55.15), and Scott Watson in the 100 breaststroke ( 1:01.51) and the 400 individual medley (4:19.82).

Darwin Strickland, who was AllAmerican last season, wasn't sure about the impact of Friday's meet on the ISL championships.

"I don't know. It just depends from person to person," Strickland said.

But Metro coach Rob Nasser thought the

wins were significant.

"I think it means a lot as far as coming into a big meet like that," Nasser said. "It sends a message to other teams that we aren't just another participant in the meet, and we have the potential to do some damage."

With the wins on Friday, the women finish the season with an impressive 8-1 headto-head record, including a 6-1 record in the ISL, while the men stand at 6-3, 4-3.

Metro will host the ISL diving championships Saturday at 10 a.m., before competing in the ISL swimming championships Feb. 18 and 19.

Team shooting for CAC title

continued from page 22 "Every game is important to me," Edwards said. "We just weren' t ready to play for some reason."

The Roadrunners have five games left and are shooting for a perfect CAC season, a repeat CAC Tournament win and a berth in the NCAA Division II tournament.

Metro made its first-ever appearance in the tourney last season, losing to Augustana 88-55 in the first round.

"We have (five) games to go," Henry said. "If we win them, we win the conference."

Henry said just going to the NCAA tourney won' t be enough this year.

"We want to go and do well," Henry said. "Last year we got blown out. We want to go and make a name for ourselves."

Metro takes on Air Force Thursday (7 p.m.) and Regis on Feb. 18 (5 p .m.) at Auraria Events Center.
