Tacos for Tivoli take more time Nguyen Pontiere

The Metropolitan Auraria students may soon be dining at Taco Bell in the Tivoli Student Union.

Dave Caldwell, manager of Auxiliary Leasing in the Tivoli, said that he is shooting ~ for March 1 as the completion date.

Caldwell said that much of the delay has been due to time-frame negotiations and the actual construction of the restaurant.

"Nobody anticipated the negotiation with AHEC (Auraria Higher Education Center) was going to be that in-depth," Caldwell said. "It has been a long negotiation with their lease and dealing with the corporation itself." · Cons,tructing the space for Taco Bell has also been a factor in the restaurant's delay.

"We already have the space defined. Now, they have to take their corporate dra~­ ings and try to mold them ifito our space," Caldwell said;

...

adding, "The uniqueness of the space requires some custom fabrication."

Equipment such as sinks and counter tops made of stainless steel still have to be custom sized since the dimensions designated by Taco Bell for their standard retail outlets will not fit into the space.

Caldwell said that food vendors are aware that Taco Bell is coming, and of their prices. However, Caldwell said that he thinks vendors will see Taco Bell as an advantage. ''The advantage of having a business right next to you that has that kind of a price point is that it seems to draw lots of people, and people aren't always going to want the same thing day in, day' out," Caldwell said.

"Most people will not eat Taco Bell every single day," he added. "They will want a variety in their diet and they'll choose maybe Mandarin or Subway."

Second provost search yields 86 applicants 72 applicants are men, 11 women; most coming from out-of-state colleges Jason Garrison The Metropolitan No finalists have been chosen yet, but the search committee commissioned to find the new provost and vice president for Academic Affairs at Metro will be narrowing the field soon, said James Dixon, head of the search committee.

The college received 86 applications for the job, said Percy Morehouse, director of the Office of Equal Opportunity and assistant to the president.

Dixon said the committee plans to have the number of candidates reduced to eight by the end of February, with plans to conduct brief interviews with those candi-

dates in that same time frame.

From there, Dixon said the committee will choose two of the eight candidates and bring them to campus for interviews, with hopes of completing the process by March 15.

Dixon did not say who some of the front-running candidates are. The new provost is scheduled to be appointed in July.

This is the second search conducted by the committee, whose earlier attempts to fill the position in 1994 were aborted.

At that time, Metro president Sheila Kaplan tolds The Metropolitan that the committee was unable to find the right fit for Metro.

Joy Hart, student representative on the committee, said that for this search, the applications were s~reened to confirm that minimum qualifications were met, and that there has been at least one more screening since, but she did not say how many candidates have been eliminated.

Dixon said that things are different this time. "I think all of the candidates fit very nicely with the expectations of a vice president here at the Metropolitan State College of Denver," he said. "Most of the candidates come from out of state, and all over the country, from California to New York," He added that no one from Metro or UCD applied for the position.

The opening has attracted applicants

from some well-known universities and institutions. A few of the more notable candidates are Linda Bain, dean of the School of Communications and Health and Human Services from California State University at Northridge; Miguel A. Bretos, counselor for Latino Affairs at the Smithsonian Institute; Dr. Robert A .

Katlin, dean of Arts and Sciences at the Rutgers University' campus at Camden; and James C. Foster, director of Academic Affairs at Pennsylvania State University.

Morehouse said that 72 of the applicants are males, 11 are females. and three did not disclose their gender, although the announcement Metro sent across the country when the new search began ih October specifically invited women and minorities to apply. The current pool of applicants meets the approval of the Office of Equal Opportunity, or the committee would have been informed otherwise, Hart said.

Applicants were also made aware of Colorado's open records law.

Approximately 23 of the candidates wrote asking that their records be kept confidential.

In the position on an interim basis is Joan Foster who replaced David Williams and has held the position for a year. But Foster is not interested in keeping the job.

"She is not a candidate, and has indicated as much," Dixon said.

Time to go home, chump A UCD student and work-study employee of the St. Cajetan's computer lab who apparently does not have afterhours authorization refused to leave the lab on two occasions. When a security guard asked for the student's after-hours authorization after locking the building at 10 p.m. one evening, the student became argumentative, according to the guard.

Then, on Feb. 7, while the guard was

locking the building, he asked the student to leave. The student again refused, and two Auraria Public Safety officers were sent to St. Cajetan's. The student argued with the officers, challenging their status as police officers. He then stopped responding to questions and began typing the conversation on his computer. When the officers switched off the computer, the student became argumentative, and turned the computer back on, according to the officers, but finally left.

Maybe for a drink?

A Metro professor called APS to his office on Feb. 9 because he was being harassed by an employee. Two witnesses saw the professor scuffle with the employee, who pushed the professor and told him he'd like to "meet him off campus," according to APS. The man left, and the professor declined to press charges.

In the name of vindication, a pondering MSCD (Metropolitan State College of Denver) student feels here compelled to posit what should be maxims already in our society: no matter where one goes to receive one's education the final reward for most people, a desired job, depends on one's own dedication, devotion, and perseverance. Although an elementary concept there still exist certain individuals at institutions that fail to realize this concept. They, somehow, perceive their institution to be superior. That such sentiments even exist in, for example, scholarly faculties is laughable in itself. But the sad part is that they in pejorative language try to convince others of their fallacious whims. An adjacent institution to MSCD seems to have this delusion. Boulder, repeatedly tries to disassociate itself with its sub-branch at Denver, certain people at this institution still believe that they are a "better" institution than MSCD. MSCD was founded in 1963, while

CU's Denver branch was founded in 1965! In fact, the current name, UCO, was given only in 1972. This MSCD student also has had ample time to thoroughly compare course requirements at the two institutions.

Even if the student before had a desultory idea of a transfer to UCD, the reading of its class schedule was a tremendous discouragement to any such plans. This student has completely convalesced from the aforementioned thought and is now vastly satisfied with the curriculum at MSCD. The student plans to graduate and continue to a Law School. Hopefully, he can succeed as the other brilliant MSCD students, who have scored in the 99th percentile on the Law School test. In closing, this student wishes to commiserate all the wretched students and faculty who have contracted that miserable disease called conceit.

A note of appreciation for Brooke

CA RTOO NISTS

I would like to extend a note of appreciation to Brooke McMaken for responding to my letter which was published in the Jan. 27th issue of The Metropolitan. Although Brooke misinterpreted the issue of my protest, the response did serve a purpose.

My concern involves the college changing the date of spring commencement from Sunday, May 14, to Tuesday, May 16, and offering no explanation or apology.

Although I am not a business major, I believe that by this point in a graduating senior's education all monies owed to the school should have been paid. Therefore, it appears that the one bargaining chip which remains in the student's possession is the continuing financial support of the school. I was not attempting to blame the Alumni Association. A more precise reading of that letter

would show that I was not trying to establish causality. When Brooke listed her credentials, she focused on her elected student government association position. It had been my belief that the task of those in student government was to represent fellow students and their concerns, not attempting to shame a student for having a concern.

The overall response that I have received has been positive.

Fellow students have thanked me for addressing the issue, and several faculty members have encouraged me. Many of the instructors, like the commencement speaker who Brooke told us of, were not even aware that the change had taken place. Others have pointed out that with the new date being Tuesday, many of the professors will be scrambling to submit their final grades. For this reason many

of them will be unable to attend the ceremony.

I have mailed letters to President Kaplan, Vice President Foster and Dean Wilson asking them to address this situation in The Metropolitan. We all await their response. I hope other students that are affected by this issue will assist me in my attempts to rectify our situation .

Once again, I wish to thank the Vice President of Student Organizations, Brooke McMaken, for keeping this issue before the student body. Our concern and· this protest will not survive without your input. A simple letter to The Metropolitan will demonstrate that we, as a graduating class, deserve a response. Question the administration's directive. It is your right.

W.Somer set Maugham,

A president to remember The Rev. MQrt Farndu Firll 'PresleyJerlan Cbt.li~h of lilvls the Divine /

don't know about you, but I think Presidents' Day is too limited.

Sure, we should remember Washington and Lincoln, men who literally made American history - but what about our other 40 chief executives? Shouldn't Presidents' Day include them as well?

Franklin Roosevelt was hardly a slouch at making history. Jefferson and Teddy Roosevelt were dynamic enough to join Washington and Lincoln on Mt. Rushmore. Madison and Monroe were notable.

Andrew Jackson was both notable and dynamic, having once killed a man in a duel, but not before taking a pistol shot in the ribs.

You don't see many presidents like that anymore.

What about our assassinated presidents who traveled that tough but time-honored road into the history books? We should recall our fallen Caesars on Presidents' Day, too: James Garfield and William McKinley and John Kennedy.

Nor should we forget the merely sickly presidents who expired before their term did. Warren Harding left the scene as the Teapot Dome scandal was breaking in 1923. William Henry Harrison caught pneumonia during his inaugural in 1841 and died after only 30 days in office, barely enough time to catch his breath.

And what about the gray mass of protoplasm that remains? Shouldn't we give a nod to all our chief executives, even the bland and mediocre, the incom-

I

petent and weak? Is there anyone whose day wouldn't be brightened by the mention of Millard Fillmore or Rutherford B. Hayes?

So many presidents. Only one day.

Still, there's one man we must acknowledge most of all on Presidents' Day. He stands out clearly in the crowd, towering over the mediocrities. He's almost as memorable as Washington and Lincoln, in fact. A man who's impossible to forget, as much as we'd like to.

But what can you say about Richard Nixon that hasn't been said a thousand times before?

We could say, perhaps, he was born to a virgin in a manger...but that's another holiday. Besides, it's not true. His mother was a Quaker, though, which is almost as good. And he did come from humble origins. Nixon spoke of it vividly during his acceptance speech at the Republican convention in 1968. He spoke of a boy from a struggling family, who dreamed of a better future. A boy who knew that if he just believed in himself and worked hard and stabbed all his enemies in the back... well, he could achieve anything. Even the Presidency of the United States.

Nixon's political rise was meteoric. He was elected Congressman in 1946, Senator in 1950, and vice president in 1952. Most historians reject the theory that Nixon made a deal with Satan during this period, although strange chants were often heard late at night coming from the Nixon home.

The truth is far more prosaic: Nixon was a ruth-

less, sawy politician. He joined the anti-Communist crusade early and quickly rose to Gruppenfuhrer. He was the first politician who understood how to use television. His Checkers Speech in 1952 is still a defining moment in American theater.

And Nixon never quit. It was the true secret of his success.

Nixon didn't quit when Kennedy beat him by the narrowest margin in history in 1960. (And then only because Mayor Daley of Chicago stole Illinois.) He didn't quit after California rejected him as governor two years later. When the country was near collapse in 1968, Nixon was ready to assume his place in history as the 37th President of the United States.

That's when he quit.

Of course, his options were somewhat limited at the end: resign or become the first president in history to be impeached and removed from office.

Nixon went home to California and his aides went to prison. So we remember him as the president who ducked trial for his crimes and let his underlings take the fall. The president whose personal interests came before the country's, which was paralyzed for over a year by Watergate. The pres1dent who looked into the camera and lied - repeatedly - about his involvement in a criminal activity.

Nixon is the man who brought history full circle for America. We went from our first president, who could not tell a lie, to one who couldn't tell the truth.

And that's something to remember on Presidents' Day - or any other. day of the year.

Why fire based on polrt'ical correctness?

This is pure speculation. But considering what has happened, this makes as much sense as anything else floating around.

The Metro music department purchased a 9-foot grand piano last summer. How could the always moneytight department afford such a purchase? Suppose they couldn't, and the only was to pay off the debt is to lay off one of the full-time professors.

There are eight full-time professors in the music department. Five are tenured. That leaves three candidates.

Put yourself in the shoes of one of the tenures professors who must make a

decision to fire one of the three nontenured faculty members. Who could you choose? Who is the most politically "correcr choice?

A. the African-American professor.

B. the woman professor.

C. the Asian-American professor.

Next you look at their marital status. Would you lay off: A. the professor with a spouse and kids; B. the professor who's married and plans to have children; C. the professor who is single,

Poli-Sci prof jazzes it up Teacher, columnist, Norman Provizer does double duty Anna Basquez The Metropolitan Metro's own Norman Provizer isn't just a Political Science professor - he's a newspaper columnist, too.

A jazz critic for the Rocky Mountain News and for the magazine Jazziz, Provizer's writing is described as "very straight ahead and very knowledgeable,"

by Mike Pearson, entertainment editor for the Rocky Mountain News. "It's quite simply expert," Pearson said.

Pearson said that Provizer's weekly jazz column has enhanced the theme of the paper's Spotlight section by bringing in a much-needed dimension.

"Obviously jazz is one of the most enduring fonns of art in the country and is uniquely enduring to readers," Pearson said.

A writer for the News since 1989, Provizer refers to jazz as his other passion, next to teaching politics. Never a musician or politician himself, Provizer describes himself as an observer, not a player.

Referring to his career and jazz philosophically, Provizer said: "For me, the biggest difficulty is the administrative part, yet it's an advantage because the best way to deal with weaknesses is to work with them, to practice. Most jazz musicians say the same."

His own collection of music, which is primarily jazz, also consists of some classical and folk in accordance with his wife's taste and in contrast to his 13-yearold daughter's typical liking of Nine Inch Nails. His favorite musician is John Coltane, a tenor saxophone player, Provizer said.

In his monthly magazine column called "Outside In" in Jazziz, Provizer writes about avant-garde jazz. It is the jazz he calls "the wild stuff." He goes about his columns by interviewing musicians and listening to their music to find a theme.

From the Political Science depart-

NORM OF ALL TRADES: Chairman of the Political Science department, Norman Provlzer, takes a break from his hectic schedule, which Includes writing a jazz column, In his office In West Classroom 163A. ment, sometimes one can overhear a jazz CD from Provizer's office, Political Science Professor Robert Hazan said.

"Students will sometimes come and chat with him about jazz, and once or twice have gone with him to a jazz session," Hazan said. "It's an informal way of getting students involved. I call him a Renaissance man because he adds a lot to the department by always being involved in very interesting, clever things. He's very creative I think," Hazan said.

Provizer, who grew up in Chelsea, Mass., and went to college in Pennsylvania, is also involved in doing volunteer work at public radio station KUVO. On campus, he sponsors the Golda Meir Center for Political Leadership, which hosts several political g1,1est speakers.

Provizer' s interest in politics stems from the changes that take place in the world of politics. He cited his own changing interests in politics saying, "My interest has recently gone from African politics to judicial law."

However, he stresses how much he likes studying politics as opposed to being a part of it. He briefly considered going to work for the foreign service, but in graduate school he realized he wanted to teach political science. Since then he has taught

at Pennsylvania State University and Louisiana State University, before coming to Metro in 1989. Provizer earned his master's and doctorate degrees from the University of Pennsylvania, and earned his A.B. at Lafayette College.

Provizer's previous writing experience includes working for the Sh rev e po rt Journal in Shreveport, La., reviewing for college newspapers, writing academic articles, and doing op-ed columns for the Rocky Mountain News and The Denver Post.

W h i I e describing how working in a news environment is different than a college campus, he said: ''The academic world doesn't function on deadlines, but at the News things are very immediate. Like most people who do a fair amount of writing, I see it as a lovehate relationship. You enjoy it, but at the same time you're torturing yourself.

"There is no difference in my life between hobbies and work. My hobbies are my work and my work is my hobby," Provizer said.

On his busiest day of the week, the things Provizer would need to accomplish, in addition to teaching, wQ..uld include administralive paperwork and a meeting or two to attend.

"On top of that I would have a column due, I'd be late on my magazine article and they would be calling, an academic article would be due, and my dog and daughter would be sick," he said. "That would be the theoretical nightmare day."

Provizer said that in the PBS television series Baseball, writer Gerald Earley said the three great achievements the United States will be known for are the Constitution, jazz, and baseball. "I think I've got two out of the three," Provizer said.

Pirate hosts Metro photo show

-

Isaac Mion Senior Staff Writer It's all black and white for Metro's advanced photography students, whose views of the world through the camera lens went on display during a blustery night Feb. 10.

Despite the bad weather, about six dozen students and other art patrons came to the Pirate Art Gallery at 3659 Navajo St to see the works of these aspiring artistic geniuses.

One such artist is Theodore Haberman, a free-lance photographer who works for the underground music magazine Resurrection and is director of the photographers co-op 2/c, that helped to organize the exhibit.

"Pirate is a well established gallery and having our work out here lets other art patrons outside of the academic institution see the kind of things we're doing.

It allows us to open our circle of critique," Haberman said.

From Haberman's profiles, one of

which is on display in the Kansas Art Museum, to Curtis Welton's curvy portrayal of an old hotel's innards, to a haunting image of a crow and a cemetery shot off of a video screen, the variety and styles of photographs span the bridge over the river of mundane.

Those who take the time to see this array of black and white images will definitely take a second look at the work of Joe Rotello, whose images of nude men in typically female poses immediately strike an odd chord within most souls.

"There is no recurring theme in the show. Each photographer has their own unique perspective," said Haberman.

"What Joe's trying to do is make a smtement about male and female roles that are typically found in older societies and today's society and how they might be reversed under certain circumstances," Haberman said of his comrade's work.

Those who want to see these future Ansel Adams' visions can still do so through Feb. 26.

AWE STRUCK: Metro alumna Carla Parks admires black and white photographs done by Metro students at the Pirate Art Gallery, 3659 Navajo St., Sunday. The show features the works of about a dozen Metro students.

Black poet speaks in the Garden of Toads Recipient ofthe Mayors literary arts award, Patricia Sanders-Hall delivers emotionally-charged stories "Lula Cando is an awful country name, Daddy," she explains in a letter.

She tells him of the name-change because she's about to make partner at the law firm and wants him to come to New York for the celebration. She sends him money for a ticket, but he doesn't attend. He tries to get over it, but can't. After receiving the news, he ages rapidly and keeps to himself. Th'r, his daughter runs for state senator. A controversial candidate because she is concerned with women's issues, she appears on national TV, and everybody in town finds out she's changed her name.

"Now I don't know if you believe it, but it's true: Shame can kill you. Feeling bad about who you are can kill you. And it started killing Walter."

Lula comes to her dying father's side to say how sorry she is.

"I just thought I couldn't be Lula Cando in big old New York City.... I was trying to be what I thought you wanted me to be - big-time important person."

She pulls out a piece of paper to show she's changed her name back to Lula Cando.

"You all probably think Walter died, but he didn't.

He got ove~ that cancer. Man like that couldn't die from no cancer! And he didn't. He was right there beside her when she got sworn in:,State Senator Lula Cando."

With lines like these, African American poet, storyteller and recipient of the 1991 Mayor's Award for Excellence in the Literary Arts, Patricia ~anders-Hall, captivated an audience of more than 50 people Feb. 9 at The Daily Grind in the Tivoli Student Union.

In a mix of poems and dramatic monologues, Sanders-Hall told a story of Walter Cando, a man who is proud of his last name because of its meaning: His greatgreat-great-great grandfather was able to buy himself out of slavery because he was so handy. ''Everybody always talked about Walter being such a hard-working man, and you know all of his ancestors all the men ancestors - were hard-working men, too. Oh yeah! As a matter of fact, Walter's ancestors were slaves.

And his great-great-great-great granddaddy was a slave that the slave master used to say, 'that man can do anything.' He probably said, 'that boy can do anything,' but anyway, you get the point: Can-do."

The last of the Candos, Walter Cando marries a woman named Mary who takes fertility drugs to make sure the Cando name survives. She dies giving birth to a girl.

"Walter, I don't think I'm gonna make it," Mary says before she dies. "But you've gotta take care of that baby, because that baby is gonna be the president. You gotta make sure you tell her that she can be the president.

You can't be carrying on your old male ways like you've been doing, Walter. You've gotta believe that this girl could be the president."

SING THE SONG: African American poet and storyt~ller Patricia Sanders-Hall enchants more than 50 people Feb. 9 at The Daily Grind.

The dtjJd, named Lula, is a smart little girl who can read when she is three years old. As a young adult, she works hard in junior college while her father works three jobs so she may attend a university. She graduates with honors and goes on to a prestigious law school in the East that "mostly white folk" attend.

Lula breaks bad news to her father twice: first to say that she's accepted a job at a law firm in New York City instead of practicing in her hometown, and then to tell him that - she's changed ___her ... name.

·Sanders-Hall's reading was one of a series of Thursday night poetry readings - dubbed "Toads in the Garden" - presented by The Daily Grind. The series is hosted by Catherine O'Neill, editor of Poesis, a not-forprofit poetry newsletter and calendar of events for Colorado. An open reading precedes the guest poet of the evening.

"Part of the reason 'Toads in the Garden' exists is to allow younger poets and new poets to have a format that is comfortable and welcoming for them to try read· ing their poetry to an audience," O'Neill said. "We are always open to poets who are quite familiar with the process and quite experienced in open readings. " The next poetry night starts at 7:30 p.m. on Feb. 23.

Luis Alberto Urrea will read at 8 p.m. A $2 donation is requested to help support guest poets; $1 for students.

Ad Hoc Theatre brings sad, curious characters to life in its adaption of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? .

LOUIS

A.

~anda

News Editor Powerful!

This best describes James Gale's (George) performance in the Ad Hoc Theatre' s production of Who 's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? now on stage at the Community Snack Shop. I've often heard plays referred to as too personal or scenes too private. Well, those critics will probably wet their pants if they see Gale's performance in this play.

From the opening moment, this play grabs you and pulls you into the sad yet curiously absorbing lives of George and Martha. Their relationship is more hate-hate than love-hate. Their vicious attacks on each other are like peeling away the layers of an onion, each layer becoming more painful to the senses.

Katharine Guthrie (Martha) gives a fine perfor-mance. She just seems to have a problem finding consis1 as a drunk · This 1 ·s tency, falling in and out of her roe important because both George and Martha start the Play drunk, and the drinking never stops.

The couple stumbles home after a party at the home of Martha's father. George is a history professor at a small college headed by Martha's father. This would have once been an enviable position for George, but years of Martha have changed the entire relationship.

Their vicious verbal attacks begin from the early moments of the play and never cease until the final scene. The two seem to be tearing at each other's psyches. At times they appear to be trying to skin the other alive with each verbal jab. The two await the arrival of a new biology professor and his young bride. Shawn Sherwood (Nick) plays the ambitious young professor and Kelly Douglass (Honey) play his naive wife.

Sherwood and Douglass make a good couple but neither ever seem to feel completely comfortable in their roles.

Sherwood's performance can best be described as forced and uncertain, while Douglass gives a manageable performance of the flighty and abstruse Honey.

The young couple become part of George and Martha's dangerously serious game of ''you hurt me, I'll hurt you more."

Their game is played with no rules. Its objective is to hurt the other participants and in the end the winner also loses. The characters are vile and unlikeable, but I dare say not a single audience member would have yielded their seat to anyone.

This, in part, is the most compelling aspect of Woolfe. We laugh at people being insulted. We eagerly await the next salvo in this bitter battle between husband and wife. We sit and watch as four people descend into drunken self-destruction. And in the end we applaud.

This production is well deserving of applause. Its only real drawback is Gale's performance so outd.1stances the others, it's difficult not to notice the others are actors.

The power of this production is the intimacy of the audience to the action. The actors are so close, the pulsing veins of an actor' s hand are easily distinguishable.

Director Martin McGovern makes productive use of the small stage. The action moves the audience' s attention in almost geometric shapes. Sometimes twisting the action around in tight circles, and other times jerking it back and forth in obtuse triangles. This keeps ·Ute tempo fast and constant. The actors never allow the energy to drop, which is laudable in this physically and emotionally demanding play.

The play has three acts and is a bit long. I could

Women shoot for perfect conference season Metro's women's basketball team wins its eight straight Colorado Athletic Conferen6e game, look to finish 12-0 Michael BeDan Sports Editor The women's basketball team survived its biggest scare of the Colorado Athletic Conference season by shooting an unconscious .727 from the floor in overtime to win its eighth straight CAC game.

Metro defeated the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs 86-77 at UCCS, but not without falling victim to a furious barrage of three-point shots by the Gold in the last 1:50 of r.egulation.

The Roadrunners started sluggishly, falling behind 16-11 against UCCS. But they managed a 22-6 run to close o'ut the first half and led 33-22.

In the second half, Metro led by as many as 14 and appeared to be cruising to its eighth straight CAC win. Then, with just under two minutes to play, the Gold caught fire, hitting four three-pointers in a row including the tying bucket as time expired. Metro coach Darryl Smith said (

both he and his team kept their poise going into overtime against the same team they had beaten 80-60 on Jan. 14.

"Sometimes I have a tendency to get real fired up," Smith said. "But I told them to relax and understand we are going for a conference championship now, so don't let this slip away. I'm sorry things fell apart at the end, but you still have time to regain composure and win the game. And that is what they did."

Tied at 68 after 40 minutes of basketball, the Roadrunners dictated the fiveminute overtime period. Metro outscored UCCS 18-9 in the extra frame and proved its dominance in the CAC is no fluke.

Four Roadrunners scored in double figures with Mary Henry 'leading the way for the second straight game. Henry scored a career high 24 points and grabbed 10 rebounds in 42 minutes of action.

"We just knew we couldn't lose down here," Henry said. ''It would be a complete embarrassment to lose to them."

Twice is nice for streaking men Men~

basketball team wins two in a row for first time this season

Michael BeDan Sports Editor

The Metropolitan/Jane Raley

THE AIR UP THERE: Justin Land throws down a breakaway jam in Metro's 69-57 win over Colorado Christian on Feb. 9.

The corpse that was the Metro men's basketball team has been temporarily resurrected. While no one will mistake the Roadrunners for world beaters, the Colorado Athletic Conference schedule has breathed life into a program that had been left for dead halfway through the preseason.

Metro is on its first winning streak of the season. With its second victory in a row (a 69-57 win over Colorado Christian on Feb. 9), the Roadrunners are out of the CAC cellar and appear to have matured enough to finish near the middle of the pack before the CAC Tournament.

Metro is 3-4 in conference play with three games remaining before the tourney. And, as the Denver Nuggets will tell you, anything can happen in the postseason.

The Roadrunners beat CCU by playing 40 minutes of consistent basketball for the first time this season. They shot .441 in the first half (15-34). They shot .444 in the second (8-18).

They outscored CCU by six in the first half (33-27). They outscored CCU by six in the second (36-30).

Metro coach Charles Bradley has belabored the fact that his team usually plays just one good half of basketball. On this night, Bradley saw what he's been waiting to see all season.

"I think we' ve captured some of the

••••••••••••••••••••••••••

problems that we've had in the past," Bradley said. "I always thought that if we would make a few shots, we could win basketball games. We just didn't have the confidence (in the past) to make easy shots."

Metro forward Justin Land erupted for 17 first-half points, finished with a game high 27, and had five rebounds and four blocked shots.

"Lately I've been going off in the first half and coming out cold in the second," Land said of his performance.

"Coach told me tonight to keep the stroke going, and luckily the shots kept falling."

Metro got double digit scoring from guard Antione Lewis (16 points, six assists) and center Trent Brotherton (17 points, eight rebounds) as well.

Lewis said the key to this win was team unity.

"We found out how to play as a team and win together," Lewis said. "We took charges, played defense, and we finally put the ball in the hole."

Bradley installed a 15-second rule in his team' s offense three games ago, and the Roadrunners have garnered two victories since the new twist was added.

Metro does not shoot the ball until 20 seconds have elapsed off the 35-second shot clock. Bradley said it was to combat erratic shooting and to make other teams play defense.

"We want to make sure we control the tempo," Bradley said. "They can't

score if the ball is in our hands."

Metro controlled the rock and the clock, limiting CCU to just 52 shots and a scant .333 shooting percentage for the game. And the Roadrunners did a good job on the boards, grabbing 37 to CCU's 34.

But the biggest difference in the game was ball movement and shot selection as Metro dished out 19 assists to CCU's 8. Metro point guard Bobby Banks likes the 15-second rule and said Bradley's philosophy is sound.

"We have a lot more confidence now," Banks said. "If we do exactly what (Bradley) says, we win. If we play the way we can, we can beat any team in the league."

The Roadrunners will need to play nearly perfect in their last home game as they will take on Regis University this weekend. The Rangers are ranked 14th in the nation in Division II and have already beaten Metro once this year.

The Roadrunners were blown out of the gym 44-23 in the first half at Regis Jan. 28, but Metro outscored the Rangers 40-30 in the second half of the 74-63 loss. Lewis said the this team is a different team than the one that got smacked at Regis.

"They play great defense," Lewis said of Regis. "That is what we are going to do this time and we'll be making our shots this time."

Metro plays Regis at Auraria Events Center Saturday at 7 p.m.

DIVING: Metro diver takes first in championship

1J

The moment Of truth has arrived

STORY from page 21

Judy Abrahams from Mines dominated the women's side, placing first in both the 1meter and 3-meter ~mpetitions with scores of 318.00 and 366.60 respectively. Colorado College's Kirsten Melbye placed second in both events with scores of294.80 and 339.60.

With no divers meeting the difficult scores required for nationals, (450 1-meter men, 365 1- meter women, 470 3-meter men, . and 420 I-meter women), Waggoner' s first season at Metro comes to an end.

"I think it went real well," Waggoner said. "Troy was more consistent than any other diver I've coached. He had very few absences and tried real hard. Kelly and Buffy, it was their first year here. For them to finish in the top 11 is pretty amazing. (Overall), I was real pleased with the season."

Although the divers' season has come to an end, the swimmers still have their biggest event of the season coming up. Metro will compete in the ISL swimming championships Saturday and Sunday at Arapahoe High School. Saturday's sessions begin at 11 a.m. and 6 p.m., with Sunday's action starting at 9:30a.m.

"We're looking to have some outstanding perfonnance with aUt!te work we've put in," said swim coach Robl Nasser. This is where all the work and time we put in will pay off."

Congrats Metro diver Troy Williams won the ISL Diving Championship in the men' s 3-meter dive. It was Williams' last season.

Williams scored a 403.90 to win the event, 25.45 better than his nearest competitor.

Great way to go out, eh?

Unstoppable Women's basketball player Mary Henry has played like a woman possessed in Metro' s last two games.

Against Colorado Christian University Feb. 4, Henry poured in 23 points and grabbed 10 rebounds.

On Wednesday at the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs, Henry scored a career-high 24 points and agai.n snagged IO boards.

Her efforts won her Colorado Athletic player of the week.

Nice job Mary.

Congrats part deux The case could be made that Metro center Vanessa Edwards and Henry should have shared the CAC player of the week honors as Edwards was just as difficult to contain last week.

Edwards was 9 of 12 for 22 points against CCU and an amazing 11 of 12 at UCCS for 23 points.

Awesome.

Making history If the women's basketball team can win its last three game, it will finish a perfect 120 in CAC play, a first for the women's program. Metro,(8-0 CAC), leads second place University of Denver, (6-3 CAC), by two-

and-a-half games.

Metro won the first meeting Jan. 26 7061 at Auraria Events Center.

The two teams meet again Feb. 22 at DU, but Metro can clinch the CAC title by beating Regis Saturday night.

Netters needed The men' s tennis team is looking for a few good men. OK, just a few men period.

The team has just five members and one of them, C.J. Arellano, is currently playing for the men's basketball team.

Interested? Call the athletic office at 556-8300.

Nationally ranked Last week, the Regis Rangers moved into the top 20 of Division II men' s basketball, snaring the 20th spot.

This week the 20-3 Rangers jumped six spots to 14th. Metro plays the Rangers for the second time this season Saturday night.

Metro lost 74-63 at Regis Jan. 28.

Schedule Swimmers will battle it out for the ISL Championships Saturday at 9:30 a.m. at Arapahoe High School.

Men's and women' s basketball close out the home schedule Saturday night against Regis. Women tip-off at 5 p.m. and the men play at 7 p.m.

Finally Space limitations this week prevent me from running the CAC standings in their entirety.

The Metro women are in first place with little or no chance of losing that position. The men are in fourth place and will try to hold on to avoid meeting Regis in the first round of the CAC Tournament.

That's the sports and I am out of here, coppin' a rowdy. Peace. Micfuu{'Be'Dan
