E01ployees take Metro to court Three in Financial Aid Office claim sex discrimination and unequal pay Becky O'Guin Staff Writer

;:-

Key figures in a sex-discrimination case against Metro are not talking to anyone other than their attorneys this week while depositions are being taken. Last March, Cheryl Judson, assistant vice president of Financial Aid for Metro, and two other Financial Aid employees filed a complaint against the college, the Board of Trustees of the State Colleges and all of its board members, Citing sex discriminatio~ and violations of the Equal Pay Act in U.S. District Court. The complaint names Judson, Judith Lichtenfeld, and Susan McGinley as the plaintiffs and states they are earning and have earned substantially less than their male counterparts. It also cites a study commissioned by Metro in 1992, and conducted by Donald R. Ryan, the director of Financial Aid at San Jose State University, in which he recommends that retroactive salary adjustments be made to the plaintiffs. In Metro's answer to the complaint,

the school admits that Ryan recommended the salary adjustments, but they deny that he found their salaries to be substantially unequal to their purported male peers at Metro. According to court documents, Judson, Lichtenfeld and McGinley are seeking damages in excess of $600,000 for back pay, emotional stress and liquidated damages. At least 25 witnesses including several administrators are expected to testify to Metro's alleged discriminatory practices. "I think Metro is no different than any other institution across the country when it comes to discrimination," said Alonzo Rodriguez, assistant vice president of Student Services. "This is a microcosm of society ... and in a large society, there are people who discriminate." Another study commissioned by the Colorado Attorney General's Office, who is handling the case on Metro's behalf, states that Judson, Lichtenfeld and McGinley are receiving adequate salaries

when compared to the peer group of institutions used by Metro for faculty salary comparisons. Also, the study showed that Metro's faculty is paid well below the top 25 percent surveyed. The study was conducted by Gilliam Associates in January. Metro's director of Equal Opportunity, Percy Morehouse, said that there are three sex-discrimination grievances filed wjth his office now. He also said a majority of discrimination cases filed with his office are split between race and sex. "I have no evidence that suggests there is a pattern of discrimination here against women at all," said Metro President Sheila Kaplan. "The fact that cases that have been brought up during my tenure here have been dismissed says to me that there is not a problem." If an employee has a discrimination complaint there are steps they can take on campus. Morehouse's office encourages the informal route which includes mediation or conflict resolution. The parties in dispute go before the person's supervisor and an agreement is worked out to the

satisfaction of both parties. If informal procedures don ' t work, then the parties can file a formal written grievance with Metro's Equal Opportunity Office, which, according to Morehouse, the plaintiffs chose to forgo. They filed charges of discrimination against Metro with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission who issued a ''Notice of a Right to Sue" to the plaintiffs on Dec. 10, 1993. Judson, Lichtenfeld and McGinley would not comment on the case. A pretrial conference is scheduled March 3, in which witness lists and last minute· glitches will be worked out, said First Assistani Attorney General Gregg Kay, who is representing Metro. A settlement hearing will be held on April 4, when an .attempt at settling the case out of court will be made. "The possibility of a settlement always exists," said Kay. "It will be more difficult to settle because of the number of parties involved." If the two parties do not settle out of court, a jury trial is set to begin in June 1995.

History professor ignites the ire of American Indian student Joelle Conway Features Editor Allegations flew during what was supposed to be an informal grievance meeting, and escalated to a heateq twohour debate over a Metro student's complaints that a History professor presented material in a racist and discriminatory manner in his American Indians in American History class. Metro student Lily Boyce presented a 10 page letter explaining her grievances to Tony Montoya, Assistant to the Dean of Letters, Arts and Sciences, which said that Tom Altherr presents his material with a eurocentric and racist viewpoint and that her comments during class were ridiculed and dismissed. Boyce also said that she was intimidated and that the view of Indians portrayed in Altherr' s class was not one an Indian would agree with. In her grievance, Boyce's complaints range from alleged comments that Altherr said political correctness was nonsense to his showing of selective clips from Dances With Wolves. There was a misunderstanding at the meeting because Altherr was not present. Altherr said he was not invited to the meeting and would not have been able to attend because he had a class at that time. Altherr was not asked to be at the meeting for the protection of the student, said Percy Morehouse, Metro Director of the Office of Equal Opportunity. "You must understand that he (Altherr) did not refuse to come, he was

not invited. This is an issue between the student and the chair," Montoya said. Altherr has taught this course since 1979 when he was hired to teach Native American history. In an interview shortly after the meeting, Altherr addressed each of the allegations point by point. He said that Boyce's complaints are the result of selective hearing, omissions and misinterpretations. "I'm not a racist. The whole thing that they are discussing is wrong," he said. Altherr defended Boyce's complaint about political correctness by saying: "I don't recall saying it was nonsense. There are some things in political correctness I agree with, other things I disagree with and I generally bring that up to say that sometimes, or maybe much of the time unfortunately, political correctness gets in the way of understanding American history." Altherr said that he showed certain excerpts from Dances With Wolves because it is regarded by many critics, activists and historians as an accurate account of Indian history. He said he felt compelled as a historian to respond to what was and wasn't accurate in the film. During the heated exchange of comments between students, professors and administrators, several other questions and issues were raised. Supporters of Boyce complained that there are other students in Althea's classes who are afraid to come forward due to the fear of retaliation. Altherr said it would be a tremendous

insult to him if students thought he would give them a bad grade for disagreeing or complaining. Many of the approximately 30 people present were upset with the grievance process itself. Alfonso Suazo, student representative to the Colorado Board of State Colleges, said it was too complex and as a result many students are discouraged to file grievances. "It's like going through the procedure blind," he said. Boyce said, "It sounds like I have been led on the merry road to the most lengthy process." In support of Altherr, Metro senior Winona WilsonHooker said she was "excruciatingly disturbed" by Boyce's The MetropolitatiNlkolas Wllets comments and that they were WOUNDED ME: Metro student Lily Boyce is not true.

Auraria Board holds secret meeting on a public matter Christopher Anderson Senior Staff Writer Conducting a secret meeting without the required number of voting members, the Auraria Board violated Tuesday the provisions of the Colorado Open Meetings Law. The board, which oversees such things as campus buildings, and Tivoli Student Union bonds, met Tuesday. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss negotiating strategy with the AMC Theater, according to loAnn Soker, executive vice president of administration to

the Auraria Board. However, state law requires two-thirds of the board to vote in order to enter into a secret meeting, whicp is known by lawyers as an executive session. Only four members of the ninemember board were present, and one of the four was present via the telephone. Soker confirmed that only four board members were present when the meeting convened. "We may have done something illegal," she said. Soker also said that there was a vote at the end of a Feb. 13 board meeting to enter into an executive session for a spe-

cial meeting on Tuesday. Metro Journalism Professor Jay Brodell disagreed with that view. "I think this is a unique interpretation of the law," he said. "And if that position were to be upheld, they could vote at the beginning of the year to go into executive session every third Tuesday. That's not the intent of the law. The intent of the law is to make everybody accountable for what goes on." Elizabeth Weishaupl, the advising lawyer to the Auraria Board from the Attorney General's Office, was not available for comment.

Metro administrator faces fines, jail in illegal elk-hunting spree ...

Nguyen Pontiere The Metropolitan Alonzo Rodriguez, assistant vice president of Student Services, is one of three men facing felony charges in the killing of nine elk in Park County last fall. Rodriguez, his son, Rodney, and his brother, Ronney Rodriguez, now face seven counts each of willful destruction, illegal possession, wasting edible game wildlife, and one count each of hunting in a careless manner, pursuit of wounded game and trespassing, said Dave Thorson, deputy district attorney of Park County. These new charges were filed Jan. 23 in Park County Court. Colorado Division of Wildlife Officers Juan Duran and Mark Lamb investigated the Oct. 25 incident. "We discovered nine elk had been killed," Duran said. According to Colorado Division of Wildlife documents, Duran responded to a complaint of hunters trespassing and a report of a hunter shooting on private land in the Beaver Creek area Oct. 25. A witness identified Ronney Rodriguez as the man who fired the gun. Duran then asked to see their hunting licenses and asked the~ if they had

killed anything. Alonzo Rodriguez said that he thought that they had one elk down and had possibly wounded another. Duran informed the individuals of their rights and questioned each person individually. Duran said that Rodney Rodriguez told him that Ronney Rodriguez was carrying a rifle and had fired about 20 rounds. Alonzo Rodriguez said that he fired about 15 rounds, but said that Ronney Rodriguez was not carrying a rifle, nor did Ronney fire. According to the documents, Duran then asked Alonzo why his son and a witness told him that Ronney was carrying and shooting a rifle. Alonzo told Duran that he did not know. Alonzo Rodriguez and Rodney Rodriguez were originally charged with unlawfully entering on private land to hunt wildlife without permission and unlawfully hunting cow elk, Duran said. He told Rooney Rodriguez that he ' would give him the benefit of the doubt and he was originally charged with unlawfully entering onto private land to hunt wildlife without permission. Duran said Alonzo and 'Rodney had valid hunting licenses and were hunting during the season. However, since the

men unlawfully entered private land, all actions after that were considered criminal, Duran said. Alonzo elected to pay a fine of $1,507 .35 for the original charges on Nov. 7, instead of appearing in Park County Court. Alonzo Rodriguez declined comment on the incident. New charges were filed and the suspects are now free on $2,000 bond, Duran said. The men now face additional fines of up to $100,000 on each count of destruction, and $10,000 and a year in jail for the seven counts of possession, he added. "We're trying to protect a resource in Colorado," Duran said. "We're not out to do injury, but to protect from injury." Duran stressed the importance of hunting in the correct manner. "We're not here to rake people over the coals," he said. "We want to get an educational message out to potential hunters, young and old." Duran said that the safety of people living in the mountains is also an issue. The next step in the case will probably be a preliminary hearing to determine if there is enough evidence to go to trial, Duran said.

Tivoli $454,932 over budget Jesse Stephenson Senior Staff Writer Revenue generated by the Tivoli Student Union is nearly half a million dollars below the amount expected for tl1e 1994-95 fiscal year. The summary for the Auraria Board of Directors budget retreat on Dec. 19, 1994, states that Auraria Book Center and retail revenues lag $454,932 behind budget projections for the new Student Union. The projections were based on the

estimates of an outside leasing consultant. According to the report, revenue from the Book Center fell $45,000 short of projections for the year. The budget summary identifies delayed opening of the food court, low enrollment, extended hours and weak computer sales as the reasons. Other commercial income, generated from the leasing of Tivoli retail space, falls $351,160 below target, the budget states. Joe Arcese, vice president for Administration and Finance for Metro,

said the approved projections were made under the assumption that all available store and restaurant space would be occupied during the fall semester. Barbara Weiske, director of the Tivoli Student Union, said construction delays and code reviews have prevented retailers from moving into the Student Union on time. The delays made a negative impact on the Student Union's commercial revenue, she said. Newports and the retail space behind Twist and Shout Record Store have not see TIVOLI page 7

Tivoli: Lack of tenants probable cause for deficit Continued: from page 6 been leased, Weiske said. Additionally, Morton' s of Chicago is relocating outside the Tivoli, and the space will be vacant by mid-April. The restaurant' s lease expired in September and a new tenant for the space has yet to be found. Weiske estimates that 100 percent of the retail space will be occupied within a year, which will help remedy the Tivoli's budgetary woes. During this year, however, overhead for the Tivoli · exceeded revenue generated by i ts retailers. As a res ult, expenses are being paid, in part, by student facility bond fund reserves, Weiske said. Larry Drake, direc tor of Administration and Business Services for Auraria, said an upd ated budget is likely to reflect a broader profit deficit, which will be more than the figure presented to the board in December. "We probably have another $90,000 deficit," Drake said. Should the deficit continue to go unchecked by retail revenues, Tivoli administrators might raise student fees or dip into other Auraria Higher Education Center reserves to cover the costs, Drake said.

"We're trying like heck not to have that happen," Drake said. Kersten Keith, student representative to the Auraria Board, said income for the Tivoli is likely to increase with the opening of Club 2000, since it occupies the bulk of the building's commercial space. Keith estimates that over 50 percent of the retail space made available from the Tivoli' s renovation has been leased by the club, which is currently inoperable due to their difficulty in obtaining a liquor license. Despite disappointing rev enues for the I 994-95 fiscal year, many said the Tivoli's commercial revenues will be better next year. Keith said she is confident that profi ts will i ncrease when Club 2000 and other businesses begin operation at the Tivoli. "I think this building can make some money," she said. Drake, too, is optimistic about the effects of the opening of the nearby Elitch's and Denver Nuggets arena on Tivoli business. "I think this thing can be viable," Drake said. "Sooner or later it' s going to be an extremely popular place."

The argument between the Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual Association and the College Republicans has become quite an issue. I think that some very · have been raise · d by both s1'des, and good points both sides should realize that. I think, however, that both sides have over-exaggerated Metro's discrimination policy. Both LGBA and College Republicans have taken the policy as direct and literal law instead of the ideal that it should be. I believe that LGBA has the right to exist whether I or anybody else approve of them, but I understand the Republican's view that you don't have to SHOUT your opinions and philosophies over the rooftops. I am glad to see that the two groups could come · toget her ·in a forum, an d I hope that t h"1s continues, and neither group loses any of its "rights."

In light of the College Republicans' refusal to sign the Club non-discrimination policy I feel the need to speak out. The Club non-discrimination policy includes "sexual orientation." In my mind "sexual orientation" includes gay, lesbian, bisexual and heterosexual. I do not feel that anyone should have the right to discriminate on this basis. In addition I believe that our campus environment should be such that diversity is celebrated, not just tolerated. I think it is important that all individuals (including The College Republicans) feel safe to express their opinions, beliefs and orientation and not be afraid to do so. In refusing to sign a non-discrimination policy I think the College Republicans have created an environment that is not safe for lesbian, gay and bisexual students. I am saddened by this outcome. Fortunately, I think there are many individuals and groups, including Student Government and Dr. Sheila Kaplan, who support non-discrimination and diversity; I appreciate their support.

Metro has been accused of being the Thought Police by the College Republicans. An interesting accusation from a group wishing to control the political beliefs of their membershi. So much for the "Big Tenr theory. As a public institution of higher learning, Metro has an obligation to offer education to all. Their moral obligation includes creating an environment free from harassment where all can learn together. To that end there is legitimate concern in setting standards for the actions and behaviors of the student groups who request to use the resources of the college, but certainly not the thoughts or reasonable speech of those individual students. The privilege of using college resources is gained by agreeing to responsibilities for a group's actions and conduct. An agreement of non-discrimination is certainly reasonable in light of the college's obligation to be accessible to all. Some believe that the inclusion of the term· "sexual orientation" in the non-discrimination policy should invalidate this policy. These people must be under the mistaken impression that our sexuality is somehow separate from ourselves, that it is rather like their suit jacket or tie, to be taken off at will. If someone is lesbian, gay, bisexual or heterosexual, their affectional orientation remains the same regardless of whom they share an intimate relationship with, or even whether they have relationships at all. Groups who want to use resources of the college should accept the responsibility of the non-discrimination agreement. If the concept of treating all in the same consistent manner is too odious to the group, they should explore finding other non-college resources for their purposes.

For Elvis missed his fans, and the Rock he had created. "But his new masters in Germany sometimes required a song of him, and Elvis would perform, though his heart was heavy. 'How can I sing my Rock in a foreign land?' he asked. "And now it was the Middle Years." As you can see, it's an eloquent piece of writing. Which, to my mind, argues for authorship by Nick Adams. Adams had a small part in the landmark film Rebel Without A Cause. lje' also starred in the '60s television series The Rebel. All this rebelliousness bodes well for his authorship of church scripture, which is revolutionary by its very nature. Yet it's St. Nick's eloquence that nails the case shut for me. Late in Adams' career, he starred in the Japanese science fiction classic, Monster Zero From Outer Space. It was then that Adams spoke these immortal words to the leader of Planet X: "If we give you Rodan and Godzilla, how do we know you won't attack Earth?" In his pronounced Brooklyn accent, this last word came out as "Oyt." It hardly gets more eloquent than that.

Music prof into trends and history Ron Miles sports influences from Sir Duke to Prince Dave Flomberg Staff Writer He sits in a high-backed office chair, seeming very relaxed. His smile flashes quickly and is extremely contagious. His two Converse hightops are each a different color, and speak volumes about the type of musician he is: He appreciates music across the spectrum. His name is Ron Miles, and he is a professor of music at Metro. He has taught here since 1988, conducting jazz combos and big-bands with a flair for the avant-garde, pulling charts from such enigmatic composers as Mingus or Coltrane, yet respecting the standards enough to still do an occasional Ellington or Basie piece. Miles graduated from Denver's East High School in 1981, after which he attended Denver University where he obtained his bachelor's of music performance. When he completed that, he earned his master's of music performance from the University of Colorado at Boulder, and then he came here. , "I can't do anything else," he says, after I ask him why he chose this profession. "Ever since I started playing (at 11 ye.ars old), this is all I've been able to do." He says that his first exposure to music was The Archies. "The only instruments I knew existed were the ones the Archies played." Yet, in spite of this, he picked up the trumpet, which was one of the two instruments available to him, the other being the clarinet, which his sister played. I ask him about his major influences, and names just start pouring forth: "Omette Coleman, Prince, Miles Davis, Steve Lacy, King Oliver, Public Enemy ..." -I t's evident that he is anything but an elitist, someone who can truly appreciate a wide range of styles while still applying an educated background to

MILES SMILES: Metro music professor Ron Miles lets a rich tone flow from his rare Dave Monette trumpet. his critiques, although curiously enough, he seems most' fond of the controversial rap group Public Enemy. "Chuck (D, lead rapper/word slinger) really believes what he's saying," Miles says. "Although I could just listen to the music without the words, it's been interesting to watch him grow over the years. "Having something to say, something to add, is more important than just technique. Music is an extension of life, in

that it's a way to communicate emotion." He smiles, waiting for the next question. I ask him about his trumpet, which is markedly unusual in its construction. It has a built-in mouthpiece and apparently very little tubing compared to the average Bach trumpet. "It's a Dave Monette trumpet," he says. "Only 20 have been made. I played on Wynton's (Marsalis) and really liked it."

His informal mentioning of a man considered to be one of the top players in the jazz world today leads me to inquire about other names he has-played with. "Well, there's been the Duke Ellington Orchestra, Bill Frizzell, Art Farmer, Red Rodney, Fred Hess (who has recently subbed for Miles when he was out of town), Ginger Baker..." He segues into talk about his favorite trumpet players, citing Clark Terry and Miles Davis, just to name a couple. "When I was little, I would go to the library and pull back issues of Downbeat (considered to be the premier jazz periodical) and read about who the big names were," Miles says. "Then I would go to the record store and pick up those albums." And his reputation is also gaining recognition, said Walter Barr, another professor of music at Metro. · "He's building a strong reputation, both nationally and internationally; folks know his name, and come here to work with him," Barr said, adding, "Ron is very professional, a joy to work with." Professional is a good word to describe Miles, especially as far as his courtesy to his colleagues. He refrains · from bashing Kenny G or David Sanborn as is the current trend. "I respect Sanborn because he has pioneered a new way to play the sax," Miles says. "It's just that music that is marketed as inoffensive is alien to me, as are people who say they hate these artists and then list off all these songs that they hate. Why keep listening?" I ask him one final question about his opinion on working at Metro. "I think Metro is great because it's affordable, right in the middle of the city, and yet still has the highest quality of education," he says. "Schools like this one are the future of higher-learning institutions." If there was one message that I walked away from the interview with, it was best said by the Jungle Brothers: "Behind the music, there must be a message. And that message must be truth."

MarrL ), 1995 s the dense fog that clouded the fate of DIA for 16 months symbolically crept in and engulfed the new airport, the life of Stapleton came to an end. Denver's problem child was FINALLY ready to open its doors after four nerve-racking delays. There was an indescribable excitement in the air Tuesday as curious citizens and anxious press people flocked to Gate B40 awaiting the arrival of DIA's first arriving passengers. However, the fabricated symbolic event didn't go off smoothly. After the crowd had surrounded Gate B40, there was an announcement that the jetway was frozen in place and the plane would have to move one gate over, to B38, for the passengers to get off. There was laughter at the announcement, yet one more delay. Most of the passengers on the first historic flight described it as "exciting, lively and fun." Through all of the haggling and skepticism about DIA, most people forgot to overlook one thing. The new airport may not be perfect but it sure is spectacular, largely due to the artwork. The sheer size and architecture are unbelievable. Before you decide that DIA is not worth the price, take a trip across the barren prairie fields and experience its beauty for yourself.

Local songstress makes good in L.A. Jeanie Straub Senior Staff Writer Singer/songwriter Jill Sobule has been around the block. "But I kind of grew up retarded," she said, "so I don't feel different than I did when I was 16. I think there's something wrong going on." The thirty-something Denver native will release her second self-titled LP March 14 on Atlantic Records. For the LP, Sobule created demo tapes with her producer friends Brad Jones and Robin Eaton, who have a studio in Nashville. When she signed with Atlantic, the company wanted to put her in with a "big producer." "I did two songs, and it was just horrendous," Sobule said "And so I just went back, and the demos are what you're hearing. And we just fixed up demos and did some more songs. It was really great doing the album with my friends." The strength of Sobule's new LP is in her witty lyrics, disparate mix o( songs, and little-girl voice. Her humor comes through in "Everyone's a Good Person Inside," which she said she wrote in "like two minutes" when she was in a pissed off but humorous mood: I know everyone's a good person inside ... So whenever I think what a dick, what a liar I I try to remember the good things inside.

"After we recorded it," Sobule said, "the label was like, 'don't you think we ought to take out "dick" and put another word in there?' They wanted to castrate my song. And they were like, 'What-about "what a bum"?' I had to fight to keep 'dick' in there." _ The similarly creative and animated "Karen by Night" was inspired by six years of living in New York after Sobule left Denver. She was selling shoes at the uppercrust department store Barney's, and Karen was her boss. "I never change names. It was kind of a true story, but I embellished greatly. She was this very elegantly conservativelydressed woman by day, and at night she would go to these very, very alternative hard-core leather bars. I kind of made her out to be this outlaw gangster." . Sobule's "I Kissed A Girl" may prove to be her crossover hit. "I just pictured a madcap "Love American Style" with a modem twist to it," Sobule said of the song. Atlantic will release "Kissed" as a single and as a video. Sobule wants to get Fabio to play her husband, who is as "dumb as a box of hammers." Sobule' s LP also features a heavily nostalgic undercurrent. The onset of her bossa nova "(Theme From) The Girl In The Affair" features a sample from Susan Hayworth's B movie I Wanna Live, and the entire song has the feel of a cheesy romantic interlude in Brazil in the '60s. "So many times J played in places,

LOCAL GAL: Jiii Sobule's on track. especially early on - in Denver - where no one listened," Sobule said. "It was horrible restaurants - like Josephina's. And you would be playing and the blender would be going on, and you'd hear 'Fish! Party of four! Party of four!' on the intercom. So I thought I had to have a song where someone told everyone to shut up." With the release of the LP, Sobule will visit radio stations and retail stores on a promotional tour that may include Denver. "Denver's my old hang," she said. "It's still home pretty much. I haven't officially lived there since 1988." Sobule attended Sl Mary's Academy in Denver, studied political science at CUBoulder and "took some classes at UCD here and there." As a storyteller and a lyricist, Sobule was influenced by the Bob Dylans, John Prines and Joni Mitchells of the world.

Musically, she loved her parents' old jazz, bossa nova records and even some of the old Broadway show records. "But then I had my rock music. If you saw my record collection, I would have Bob Dylan next to The Isley Brothers next to The Sex Pistols next to Copeland. It's bard for me to talk about influences. I've never really tried to sound like anybody." Her first album on MCA did well overseas, but not stateside, and MCA turned down her second LP, produced by Joe Jackson, and released her from her contract. "I think it's what made me a better artist now, but for two-and-a-half years I was poverty stricken and pretty depressed. I thought, 'Not many people have one chance to get signed and get an album, how is this ever going to happen again? I'd better find something else to do with my life. I'm not getting any younger.'" Just when she was ready to give it all up, she got signed again. "It was pretty amazing," Sobule said. "It feels like a big fluke." . She's saidshe' s aware that she could have a repeat of her first LP experience with her latest, but she doesn't care. "I'm gonna record something that I'm so proud of and I don't give a fuck what anyone else thinks. So at least if it does bomb, I'm proud of it." Sobule's got an LP to sell, but when she thinks about the future she's confident. "I don't know if I see myself when I'm 45 on the rock bus. I always have fantasies of having a cabin somewhere great in Colorado and writing mystery novels, being an eccentric old woman. But of course an eccentric old woman who's had a career."

Holy month for Metro Muslims Joelle Conway Features Editor As multi-cultural movements on campuses across the country continue to grow, several Auraria students are working to make sure Arab Americans aren't left out. The Arab Americans of Auraria club was formed last semester in order to cater to the needs that are unique to Arab Americans and foreign students, especially from the Middle East, Metro student and club president Wadi Muhaisen said. "What we think we can do for them is form a bridge from the culture clash, because we are Americans first and foremost," he said. ''We grew up in this country and English is our first language, but we need to hold onto our culture." Although any student at Auraria can join the club, the majority of the 30 club

members are Muslims. For the past month, the Muslim club memb·e rs have been celebrating Ramadan, the Holy Month. Ramadan, the ninth month on the lunar calendar, is believed holy because it's when revelations were sent down to the prophet Mohammed, Muhaisen said. During the month of Ramadan all Muslims engage in fasting from sunup to sundown, which means they must restrain from eating, drinking (even water), smoking and sexual activities. 'The reason we do that is that it fosters self-discipline, as well as gives us empathy with those less fortunate than us," Muhaisen said. "It's something that overflows into other parts of our lives year -round. It provides self-discipline academsee RAMADAN page 17

ically and morally." It's very awkward and challenging for a Muslim to celebrate Ramadan in the West because, unlike the United States, in Muslim countries their lives are centered around that religion, Muhaisen said. ''We're celebrating Ramadan, yet this culture isn' t," Muhaisen said. It' s especially difficult for younger people because eating is such a social thing in America. he said. Muhaisen said that the consensus is that puberty or the onset of adulthood is a good time to start Ramadan , and that many children will fast until noon and then work their way up to fasting au day. "It's very difficult at first, but you reach a point, a watershed, where it' s not

difficult anymore and you start reaping the benefits to being disciplined and it goes to other areas of your life," he said. Safa Suleiman, a club member and Metro senior, describes Ramadan as "family time." "It is that one time of year where you really have time with the whole family," agreed Iyad Allis, club vice president and Metro sophomore. Every night during the thirty days of Ramadan, the Iman (priest) leads a prayer and recites the Koran. On the first day he starts the Koran and by the thirtieth day he is finished, Suleiman said. The Iman is not like Christian priests or pastors; he isn' t necessarily a leader, Muhaisen said. "Prayer is something that nobody

intercedes on your behalf with," Muhaisen said. 'There is no mediator. It's between you and Allah (God)." The day after the last day of Ramadan is the first Muslim holiday, a three-day feast called Feid-Fitr. It' s a time for celebration and giving thanks, Muhaisen said. The feast will be March 1-3 this year. Muhaisen said that he is happy with the strides the club has made because it's hard to form a new club. "We want to form a committee within the club for new Arab Americans on campus," Allis said. "We think the Arab American community is underrepresented on campuses in every aspect and we' re just trying to fill that void," Muhaisen said.

Women unbeatable in conferenee Metro wins Colorado Athletic Conference with 12-0 record, the best in Metro history Michael BeDan Sports Editor When the season began for the women's basketball team Nov. 18, 1994eight months and I 0 days removed from Metro's first ever NCAA Division II Tournament appearance - the task of following the most successful season in Roadrunner history loomed as this team's challenge. Three months and seven days late~ the Roadrunners answered the call by finishing the Colorado Athletic Conference season with a perfect 12-0 CAC record, posting the first unblemished conference record in Metro history, overcoming a 2-12 presea-

son.

... .

Metro spanked the University of Denver 75-62 on Feb. 22 and ended the regular season with a 62-53 victory over the University of Southern Colorado on Saturday. Metro coach Darryl Smith was asked if this was his best coaching job in his five seasons at Metro. "I don't think it has anything to do with coaching," Smith modestly replied. "The kids we have here, I really like. I'm happy for them. They turned it around." Both games were physical endurance exams for the Roadrunners as DU and USC tried to wear Metro down with full-contact, body-bruising low-post play. The approach failed for both opponents as Metro proved it could adapt to any style of warfare. Against DU, Metro jumped to a 36-27 halftime lead thanks to an eight point run at the end of the first stanza. Forward Mary Henry led the way for the Roadrunners, scoring lO points while point guard Sarah Eckhoff added eight. In the second half, Metro continued the run, scoring the first four points and taking a 13 point lead. But the Pioneers fought back, outscoring Metro 15-4 in a seven minute stretch to cut the lead to 44-42. The Roadrunners played like the CAC champs they are from that point on. Seniors Eckhoff and Henry caught fire, combining for 21 points while center and CAC scoring leader Vanessa Edwards sat on the bench in foul trouble. Edwards finished with 11 points and six rebounds. Two freshman played a key role in the win for Metro as center Shiloh Justice and guard/forward Michelle Marshall both saw crucial minutes when the game was tight. Each hit critical f'ree throws in crunch time, one day after Smith required both to hit three in a row to end practice. "I think one of these games is going to come down to one of you hitting big free throws," Smith explained to them at practice the day before the DU game. Smith was a prophet as both went to the line and hit 2 of 2 in the Fieldhouse. Justice added six rebounds and two steals in 11 minutes of action, while Marshall had four points, four blocks and a steal in 20 minutes. Henry said a lot of Metro's success can be attributed to the first-year players.

"We know when players come off the bench there won't be a let down," Henry said. As always, Henry did her part, scoring 22 points and grabbing seven boards, while her counterpart, Eckhoff, had 19 points, eight rebounds, six assists and three steals. Guard Chalae Collard scored nine points before leaving the game with an injured wrist. She missed the USC game but is expected back for the CAC Tournament. Metro closed out its perfect CAC season in Pueblo and was treated to another physical game. Guard Tammi Baumgartner, a player who will do anything to help her team win (score, rebound or play defense), sacrificed her body at USC, taking charges and grappling for loose balls as the Roadrunners sealed a 12-0 record. Baumgartner scored four points, grabbed three rebounds and had an assist, but her real contribution to the team was her relentless play and gladiator heart. She left the game in the second half, blood streaming from her knee, only to return a few minutes later with the leg taped up. She said the warrior role is her niche. "Oh yeah, it has been for a while," Baumgartner said. 'Tm not a big scorer, but I can always make a contribution in a lot of other ways." Tough play exemplified this game. Thirty-five fouls were called and at least 35 more went un-whistled. Henry, who scored 17 points and had nine rebounds in the game, said the officiating was bad. "It is so inconsistent you don' t know what you can get away with," Henry said. "You play your game and hope it works." Metro's game on this night was to pound the rock inside to Edwards who finished with a game high 24 points and 16 rebounds, including IO offensi ve boards. Smith said his team likes a physical, inside game. "That is to our advantage," Smith said. "We are tougher than anyone." The Roadrunners again built a firsthalf lead, 33-27, only to see it temporarily wiped out in the second. USC scored the first six points of the second half and tied the game at 33 with 18:51 remaining. Then, as in the DU game, Metro came to life and built an eight point lead that was extended to as many as 13 before closing out the 11 point victory. Freshman played a key role again as Marshall blocked four shots for the second consecutive game and had four points and a steal. Eckhoff said the team knows its capabilities even when the score is close. "I think we are just confident," Eckhoff said. "When the momentum shifts, we don' t worry or panic. We just have the attitude that it is our game." The Roadrunners will gain an automatic bid to "the show" if they win the CAC Tournament. The championship game is at USC at 5:30 p.m. Saturday.

POSTERIZED: Freshman guard/forward Michelle Marshall is head and shoulders above DU as she takes it to the rack strong in Metro's 75-62 win over the Pioneers Feb. 22 at the Fieldhouse. Marshall recorded four blocked shots in the second half of the win and had four more blocks against USC on Saturday. Marshall is one of three freshman on the Roadrunners' CAC champion squad.

Rollercoaster ride ends for men Roadrunners lose to Colorado Christian in first round of tourney Michael BeDan Sports Editor The official diagnosis for the men's basketball team: split personality disorder. Step aside Sybil. The Roadrunners completed a turbulent season Wednesday night with a first round Colorado Athletic Conference Tournament Joss at Colorado Christian University. Metro lost a heartbreaking 64-60 decision to the Cougars in a game that summed up the whole season for the Roadrunners. Good twin, evil twin. Both twins showed up for this game as was the case in many games this season. The Roadrunners would put together one good half of basketball only to see it wiped out by a horrendous second half. Later in the season, the trend reversed, and Metro woul~ disappear in the first half and play catch-up for most of the second. In the last two regular season games and Wednesday's first and last postseason game of the year, the pattern was as unpredictable DIA's opening date. In the first half Wednesday, Metro led by as many as seven before succumbing to its own poor shooting (.345 percent), and the evil twin, going into the break trailing 32-27. The evil twin left the building for most of the second half as Metro shot .519 from the floor and got a dazzling second half performance from forward Shakoor Ahmad. Ahmad scored all of his 14 points in the second half and had a chance to put the Roadrunners up by two with just 1: 15 remaining in the game. Ahmad cut backdoor and scored off a C.J. Arellano pass, but was whistled for an offensive foul.

Point guard Bobby Banks had a chance to pull Metro to within one with 12 seconds remaining but was only able to convert I of 2 free throws. " I should have bent my knees more," Banks said. "It came down to the end of the game when you've gotta make them and I didn't" CCU closed out the 64-60 win, sinking two free throws and watching two desperation three-pointers by Metro miss the mark. Metro coach Charles Bradley was asked about the offensive foul called On Ahmad and said questioning calls is pointless when the game is over. "If that' s what they call, that's what they call," Bradley said. "It's a tough way to lose. I thought we had every opportunity to win. ''We didn't execute as well as we should have. It's indicative of what we've been doing all year. It was a good learning year for us, hopefully we can come back and make things pay off for us next year." Metro shot .429 for the game and got 10 points from Arellano and guard Justin Land while forward Shalayo Williams added six. Arellano said free throws cost them in the game. "I don't like to make excuses," Arellano said. "We had key opportunities and didn't make our free throws." Metro made just .681 percent of its free throws all year and had trouble putting the ball in the hole from anywhere. Lack of scoring was Metro's primary problem throughout the season as they shot .40 I and allowed opponents to shoot .492. Bradley said despite poor shooting, he is happy with the

Metro's baseball team, with a resounding 72 season opening victory over the University of Denver on Feb. 22, bas returned the excitement of baseball to the small parks of its origin. ..It was a good win for us," Metro coach Vince Porreco said. 1be pitchers did

core of players he has and said they could wind up being muc h better shooters next season. In one game last week the Roadrunners (and the good twin) looked like a team full of shooters as they knocked off the University of Denver Pioneers at the DU Fieldhouse Feb. 23. Metro routed DU 79-55 and shot an astonishing .591 for the game an allowed the Pioneers just 13 field goals in 53 attempts. Land, who was 5 of 9 from downtown and scored 21 points in the game, said the team had a different attitude before that game. ''We had a Jot of people step up this game," Land said. "I think we are capable of doing this every night." Metro improved to 4-5 in the CAC after the DU game and had a chance of hosting Wednesday' s game against CCU if they had beaten the University of Southern Colorado Saturday night. Unfortunately, the Roadrunners' evil twin showed up for this game and was throttled 43-20 in the first half against the Indians, making just 7 of 36 shots. . Metro played a respectable sedond half, outscoring USC 43-34, but it was too little too late. "I've tried to find excuses but there are no more excuses when you are not ready to play basketball," Bradley said. " It is sad when you shoot 19 percent and come back in the second half and have a chance to be close in the game. It is crazy." The Roadrunners finished the regular season 6-20 overall, with a 4-6 CAC record. Metro lost in the first round of the tournament for the second straight year.

a real good job of baiting them and the hl.tters put pressure on them." The Roadrunners' victory was especially satisfying as they knocked off the same team that sent Metro packing from the Mile High lntercolligate Baseball League Tournament last season. Tracy Archuleta hit the game's only home run, a thrte-bagger in the sixth that gave Metro a 5·1 lead. Metro pitcher Rob Wiggins held the Pioneers scoreless for two innings and

Reading Ruth

)udjth Kates & Gail Reimer, editors

Originally published in 1935 and long out of print, this book is considered one of the most significant utopias published by women in the U.S. in the 1930s. Serious fun, it is a rollicking, passionate exploration of female sexuality that questions male authority and anticipates many contemporary feminist concerns. Once banned by the New York Public Library for being too risque, the Adventure uses locations such as Smug Harbor and the Land of Err, characters such as Femina and Aunt Sophistica, and languages including Halfish and Reasonese to examine the problems in marriage, religion, divorce, earning a living, and achieving a meaningful, balanced life.

The Book of Ruth is a quintessential women's story. Encompassing a remarkable spectrum of women's experience-marriage, childbirth, infertility, widowhood-this unique biblical text addresses the problems of women's vulnerability in a man's world, and explores how women can generate power for themselves. Yet for thousands of years, commentary on this book and others in the Bible has been dominated by men. Now two creative scholars have brought together an amazingly eclectic group ofJewish women to offer their previously unheard interpretations of one of the Bible's most beloved stories.

Before Roe v. Wade, hundreds of thousands of illegal abortions were performed in the U.S. every year. This is the story of Ruth Barnett, who quietly and safely performed abortions from 1918-1968 for those unable to afford a child during the Depression, for the wives and daughters of politicians and police, and for ordinary women making a choice. Jailed for her actions, she made the case that state control of women's bodies and the underground abortion racket it spawned hurt women more than the abortionists who worked from principle and compassion.

The Abortionist

From Sappho to Judy Chicago, from the late Egyptian era to Audrey Flack, this anthology of fine art reproductions and literary excerpts proclaims the strength and majesty of the feminine experience. The images and messages, based on the award-winning Return of the Goddess engagement calendars, remind women of their spiritual heritage, their innate wisdom, the integrity of the female body and its rites of passage, and the growingglobalcommunityofwomen who celebrate the return of a feminine deity.

Morethanahundredyearsago, the rallying cry of "Let the Women Vote" was heard from Denver to Durango. Thanks to the determined efforts of many women and men of different colors, creeds and classes, the women ofour state were voting and running for office 27 years before women's suffrage became the law of the land in 1920! Their story is told in the Colorado Suffrage Centennial Exhibit, which was developed by the Colorado Coalition for Women's History and co-sponsored by the Friends of the Auraria Library and the Colorado History Group. The exhibit will be on display at the Auraria Book Center from March l through March 17.

A Mouthful of Rivets Nancy Baker Wlse & Christy Wise

As millions of men were shipped overseas to fight in World War II, vital jobs in the government and private sectors were filled byAmerica's young women. This is the oral history ofover 100 women motivated by patriotism and opportunitywho put aside schooling, families, and peacetime jobs to become riveters, geologists, pilots and truck drivers. All of them describe their experiences overcoming discrimination, emotional and physical challenges, and inadequate training to successfully meet the needs of defense production.

The voices of366 nineteenth-centuryAmerican women fill the pages of this book of days; some are famous, some long-forgotton, some never known. All were participants in the movement for women's enfranchisement in this country, speaking, influencing public opinion, publishing under their own names and establishing professional careers. They remind us that balancing family, work and friends has always been difficult.
