Parking changes working Kevin Juhasz Senior Staff Writer More than a year has passed since it was revealed that over $133,000 in park路ing funds were missing, and Auraria's parking and transportation division has made significant steps to make sure it won't happen again. Reports on debit card and sales and usage from July 1993 to June 1994 show excess funds of $1,154, a stark contrast from the $99, 100 deficit one year earlier. Andrew Chitwood, director of the Parking and Transportation Services Division at Auraria Higher Education Center, said that many things, mostly procedural, have been implemented to curb internal theft. Under the new procedures, the key box needs two people to access. One set of keys are held by field supervisors, the other by office supervisors. One person observes while the two open the lock box. One of the people who accessed the keys then goes with a fourth person to collect money. All collections of money at parking lot huts and debit card machines are now done with two people, one a collector and one an observer. After money is collected, it is taken

to the counting room by both persons where the money is given to a fifth and sixth person to count. One of the collectors must remain in the room while the money is counted. Chitwood said this method should make it difficult for any collusion to take place. A year-to-date counter has now been added to track of the amount of money put into the machine each day. This cannot be cleared by the employee and the amount is recorded on a daily basis. If any money turns up missing, AHEC will know when it happens. Another feature added to the machines is a way to keep track of when the machine is cleared out. If two people were to go collect money, they would run a report and clear the machine. The number on the tape might read #101. If two others were to run a report, clear the machine, and keep the money, the computer would number that collection as #102. Then if the next set of two people were to do a collection, their report would read #103. Parking would know then that something was wrong. They also keep very close track of who accesses the key box and when. "We know every time the box is opened and somebody does something

Auraria hit with another lawsuit over parking fiasco Becky O'Guin Staff Writer The Auraria Higher Education Center continues to be plagued by lawsuits over the 1993 termination of three parking employees. Nancy Evans, a former parking supervisor for AHEC, filed a complaint against the Department of Higher Education, AHEC and JoAnn Soker, executive vice president for Administration, in U.S. District Court on January 12, 1994. The complaint names Saker individually and in her official capacity and charges that she slandered and libeled Evans in her comments made to Channel 9, the Rocky Mountain News, the Silver & Gold, The Denver Post, The Metropolitan, The' Community News and the CU Denver Advocate. If Evans wins in court, Saker, being named individually, would have to pay the judgment personally. Soker is being represented by the attorney generals office, which is also representing AHEC. "In any agency that employs people ... there is litigation from time to time it isn't that big of a deal. We're used to being sued," Saker said. "I believe the lawsuit is without grounds." The complaint also alleges that a

white female supervisor admitted taking money, but no disciplinary action was taken against her. Evans is seeking relief because she believes that she was treated differently because of her race and that she did nothing wrong. Evans is Hispanic. AHEC has filed a motion to dismiss the complaint, and until the judge rules on the motion a trial date will not be set. An answer to the complaint by AHEC has not been made at this time. However, the motion to dismiss states that Saker is entitled to qualified irnmu.ni ty for the. damage claim brought against her in her personal capacity, because the complaint does not show that Saker violated well-established constitutional rights of which a reasonable person in her position would have been aware. The motion to dismiss also says that the defendants are considering a counterclaim against Evans for embezzlement. "Always there is a chance of settlement," John Mosby, Evans' attorney said. "You realize that.something like 99 percent of all these cases settle." Arthur Kelso, who was also terminated, filed suit in Denver District Court citing defamation, false light, invasion see AURARIA page 8

with it," Chitwood said. Many of the changes were recommended in a memo in January 1994 from Linda Duffy, system and financial operations manager for parking and public safety, to Larry Drake, director of Administration and Business Services. AHEC did hire a consultant, Larry Donoghue Associates, Inc., to help further improve the division. The consultant was paid $3,700 to spend one day in February 1994 looking at the division's procedures and policies. Laura Mullen, manager of Customer Relations for Parking and Transportation Services Division, has also made sure that the procedures for collection are now written down. Mullen said that there was an old manual written back in 1985, but when she arrived in 1991; debit cards were new. "There were a lot of verbal procedures, and people knew what they were supposed to do, but it just never got written down, and that was an oversight on our part," Mullen said. Chitwood would like to avoid implementing checks on employees, such as polygraph tests or personality profiles. Instead, he prefers to implement procedures that make it virtually impossible to steal from the division.

Chitwood also says he has a staff that makes things easier. "I really appreciate the staff here who has realized how important it is to follow procedures," he said. "They have been doing it and they will continue to do it." Chitwood added that each staff member has signed a letter stating that they understand the procedures. One thing that has come out of the incident is legal hassles for AHEC, after three parking employees were fired for their involvement in the incident. The State Personnel Board upheld two of the terminations, but found Arthur Kelso's termination to be groundless and in bad faith. He returned to work in January and has filed suit against AHEC seeking damages. Another employee, Nancy Evans, has also filed suit against AHEC and JoAnn Soker, executive vice president for administration. According to Rosemarie Del Monte, director of special projects for the executive vice president of Administration, the district attorney's office would not take legal action against the employees because the office had too many cases at that time, and because AHEC was unable to provide exact figures of the amount of money that was missing.

Nguyen Pontiere The Metropolitan Dr. Elizabeth Walker Mechling spoke to students about the role of provost and vice president for Academic Affairs Monday in the Tivoli Student Union. Mech1ing told students that the provost and vice president for Academic Affairs is second in command on campus. "When the president is gone, that person is in charge," she said. Mechling gave four areas of emphasis for the provost position: administrative duties, leadership, morale and managerial tasks. "As the provost, the person in

that position is the chief academic officer with regard to issues such as budget, curriculum, personnel, policy and staffing," she said. Mechling added that the provost also provides direction and strategies in terms of leadership. Mechling then addre ssed morale. "The role of provost is to make sure that the atmosphere is conducive to productive, intellectual and developmental activities," she said. Concerning managerial issues, Mechling said the provost would have to delegate authority and responsibility.

ONE OF FOUR: Dr. Elizabeth Walker Mechling hopes to be selected as the next provost of Metro.

Provost: Decision in-July continued from page 4 18 years of higher education experience, according to his search records. He has been dean of the School .o f Technology at North Carolina A&T since 1986, where he was voted Administrator of the Year in 1992. North Carolina A&T has 11,000 students. Yarbrough stated on his application that he has screened and hired outstanding personnel for major administrative and teaching positions, so that 93 percent of the school's faculty now hold doctoral degrees. He received his Ph.D. in industrial education from Iowa State University in 1976. Yarbrough is a member of the

National Association of Industrial Technology, and chair of its Accreditation Personnel Committee. He has written 15 articles for a number of industrial and technological journals and magazines. The fourth finalist, Wall ace, vice president for Academic Affairs at North Dakota State, received a Ph.D. in education (family and consumer sciences) from Pennsylvania State University in 1974. She was given the National Leader Award by the American Association of Family Consumer Science in 1988. She has been published 21 times by various family and home economics journals and magazines. Dixon said that he is pleased with the qualifications of each candidate. "Each is coming from large urban

institutions that are acquainted with the urban mission," Dixon said, "which is to maximize the educational success for every student in the community." Dixon said that the urban mission has two imperatives. The first ~s to recruit, retain and' graduate students. The second is to develop partnerships with other educational institutions and businesses in the community. Dixon said that the mission also includes being sensitive to issues of color, gender and sexual orientation. The new provost is scheduled to be appointed in July, replacing Joan Foster who has held the office on an interim basis for the past year.

Handicapped students on Auraria campus were not able to enter the St. Cajetans church during Black History Month activities Feb. 21, because the door allowing wheelchair access was screwed shut According to Darrell Ballinger, maintenance supervisor for Facilities Management at Auraria Higher Education Center, the reason for the restricted access was due largely to miscommunication between Facilities Management and Conference Services. " We have an agreement with Conference Services that says if they have an event or function in St. Cajetans, they will notify us so that we may open up the building," Ballinger said. He added that the door was screwed shut because Facilities Management was waiting for some hardware to finish the door, which will make it historically accurate. "We were told that the building had to be opened at 4 p.m., and that turned out to be when the event ended," Ballinger said. Jim Kelly, director of Facilities Management, said that he was in fact notified that the handicap entrance was blocked and needed. "We were notified that the entrance had to be opened, and although there was a slight delay, we did get over there and get it opened." said Kelly, adding, "It was screwed shut because we got a grant from the Historic Society to replace the doors, making them more authentic. The new door, which is now fully operational, is in fact a better door for its purpose."

Surveys about students cost Metro at least $150,000 Jesse Stephenson Senior Staff Writer Metro spent at least $150,000 this year on surveys and gathering information about its students, said Math Professor Frieda Holley, the director of program evaluation. According to Colorado law, the college must submit the survey results along with an accountability report to the Coiorado Commission on Higher Education or face a 2 percent cut in state funding. Reports to the CCHE are required annually.

The law, Article 13, titled Higher Education Accountability, became effective July 1, 1990. It requires colleges that receive state funding to gather a multitude of data for the CCHE, which turns it over for review by the legislature. Holley, who has authored Metro's accountability report since the implementation of the law, said she is uncertain how the legislature uses the information since it can't be used for comparison of Colorado colleges. Although the law makes provisions for non-compliance, it does not state what, if any, action the legislature will take if it doesn't deem the

college' s performance satisfactory. Holley said the intent of Article 13 is to give the public and the legislators a measure to gauge the successfulness of state-funded higher education. "People wanted to know 'what are you doing and are you doing what you're saying?"' Holley said. Under the law, state-funded colleges are free to choose which surveys and tests they will use to obtain the information for the CCHE, but some legislatures want standardized information from all, Holley said. "The legislatures wanted to compare

college scores," she said. "Sometimes they say they want the same test, which sends chills down the backs of educators." Overall, Metro students scored slightly above average on The Academic Profile, which compares the college with over 30 colleges nationwide. In addition to The Academic Profile results, the report includes the results of expertise tests for graduating seniors of each major, student proficiency in general academics such as math and reading, employer ratings for Metro graduates, and data regarding retention and graduation rates for various ethnic groups. Recent Metro graduates are mailed questionnaires asking them to rate their satisfaction with the college as well. Marylyn Powell, statistical analyst for Metro, who compiles the data, said that while Metro is required to submit the data to the CCHE, many departments within the school are interested in the survey results, too. However, the results are not foolproof since a large portion of the graduates don ' t return the questionnaires, Powell said. "You always have to be very careful about the conclusions you draw,''. she said. "We're probably looking at 20 percent (return rate) and that may be on the optimistic side."

Clinton to visit campus Christopher Anderson

Senior Staff Writer

Educators throughout America will converge on Auraria Campus this July 11 and 12 to honor the who's who in American education, and to deliberate how state leaders can boost student achievement. The discussion, named the 30th annual James Bryant Conant Symposium, is sponsored by the Education Commission of the States, which is chaired by Colorado Gov. Roy Romer. U.S. President Bill Clinton, who chaired the 1986-87 commission, has been invited as a keynote speaker. The comrnission' s public relations specialist Elizabeth Holman isn't expecting the president to confirm until a week before the event. A spokeswoman of the president's scheduling office said it knows of the invitation, but said security policies prevent disclosure of the president's itinerary too far in advance. Each year a Conant award is given for outstanding service to education. This year's winner will be announced on July 12. The nation's educators will exchange views on such things as higher education expectations and costs, preparing the work force for the future and education reform. The late James Bryant Conant was an internationally known scholar, scientist,

statesman and author of the 1964 book Shaping Educational Policy. Former winners of the Conant award and the commission's past chairman are also expected to attend. The announcement of the winner will conclude this years event. The commision is goverened by the govener. The chairmanship alters each year between a Republican and Democrat. The commission's $8 million budget is funded through a mixture of state fees, state contracts, and foundation and federal grants. Metro educators, including President Sheila Kaplan and Director of Professional Education Mark O'Shea said they have never heard of the event. However, O'Shea said he is excited to have national educators gather at Auraria. "I want to be a part of this any way I can, even if I have to poke my nose through the door or look over the fence," he said. · O'Shea described Conant as an education founder. "Conant is highly regarded as probably the most significant innovator of secondary education during the post World War II years." Community College of Denver President Byron McCleeney announced the event at a February Auraria board meeting. McCleeny's wife is vice-president of the commission.

On Feb. 20 Auraria Public Safety officers saw a man near the South Classroom patio who appeared to be in possession of a joint. When they identified themselves and asked him if he indeed had a marijuana cigarette, the man became loud and abusive, according tQ the officers. As a crowd of people began to gather, the man began apprqaching the officers with clenched fis~. They arrested the man, identified as Eric Baca, and charged him with disturbance and interference. As Baca was being transported to a police car, he spit in an officer's face.

On Feb. 21, APS arrested a man who assaulted his basketball partner in the HPER building. When the victim called the suspect a bitch, the suspect, Metro student Sherman Troy Dawson, hit the victim in the mouth. Dawson was transported to the Denver Police Department and charged with assault.

It's a phony On Feb. 24, Sigi's Cabaret called APS to investigate a suspicious $20 bill. An officer took the bill, and sent it to the Secret Service after he was unable to find the distinctive thread that is in new bills. The Secret Service said the bill may be a photocopy.

Ripped off A woman waiting for a ride in front of the St. Francis center on Feb. 20 was relieved of her shoulder bags by a group of four youths. The woman chased the four, screaming at them, until one of the youths yelled, "if you don't shut up we're going to fuck you up, bitch." She then found an officer and reported the incident. The woman lost two bags, three dollars, a purse, wallet and some clothes. She described the suspects as four black teenagers.

It is extremely disturbing to me that a student is allowed to make unfounded, flat-out-false allegations toward a teacher and receive the attention that one Lily Boyce has received (The Met, 3/3). I do not know Lily Boyce, but I am a student in Tom Altherr's Native American History course and was present at the session in question. I can say quite confidently that Lily Boyce is either very confused or flat-out lying. This is a multicultural course designed to bridge the gap between cultures, not widen them! Tom Altherr presented well-balanced, well-documented perspectives and never, ever dismissed or ridiculed any student's comments. Perhaps Lily Boyce identifies strongly with the film Dances with Wolves, which is about as historically accurate as, say, Gone with the Wind. Tom Altherr simply pointed out these historical inaccuracies showing extreme sensitivity all the while.

. I was shocked when I read The Metropolitaris article "Traffic solutions needed" (1/20/95). It stated that $20,000 was being paid for recommendations on improving the traffic safety. I have great sympathy for Robin Haggerty's family, but there are also many aspects of this solution that bother me. First of all, the pictures in the article are a great example of stu.dents not being safe. These are supposed to be higher-educated · students who should know better. Were these people ever taught to use a crosswalk? They are there for a reason. The other part of this that ·really upsets me is that Auraria is paying for half of it The money is going to a oonsultant to tell Aurarla and Denver to increase crosswalk times, stop all traffic flows at the same time on Speer for walkers, police the speed limit and jaywalkers, and to have less frequent changes of traffic signals. I just cannot believe that these solutions could not have come at a lower price. There will only be an increase in people's safety when they become more mature and responsibl~ for themselves.

involved movement away from what has been called "the great white male" theory of history. The basic tenet was to begin looking away from the white-male-dominated issues and events, and begin looking at other groups and their contributions and perspectives of history. Women's studies, African-American studies, Chicano studies, Indigenous studies, Oriental studies, and other programs are results of these and other social and academic changes. Dr. Altherr came from schools that were in the forefront of some of these changes, including the very progressive Ohio State University. Unfortunately, Metro's History Department still can not boast an indigenous instructor. There has been some discussion and attempts to recruit someone, but it has not happened yet.

In females, the author has found the application of pure carbolic acid to the clitoris an excellent means of allaying abnormal excitement. A remedy which is almost always successful in small boys is circumcision. The operation should be performed by a surgeon without administering an anesthetic, as the pain attending the operation will have a salutory effect upon the mind." Today, male circumcision is the nation's most common surgery, performed about 1,300,000 times a year on newborns, with no anesthesia. From small beginnings a little over a century ago when most children were born at home, the rate has steadily increased with the medicalization of childbirth into a kind of illness. Rising steadily through the years, by the 1970s and '80s the rate reached 85 percent to 90 percent of U.S. males. Yet 85 percent of the males alive today are intact as they were born, and there is no evidence of massive medical problems in these men because they have a foreskin. Indeed, how is it that the U.S. human male is the only spec~es born on the planet who requires corrective surgical alteration within a few days of birth? Where did millions of years of evolutionary development fail and thus require human intervention here? And why has the rest of the world's medical community

failed to recognize the wisdom of the U.S. practice? Indeed, in Europe, Asia and elsewhere, the natural functions of the foreskin are well understood: protection of the urinary tract during infancy; protection of the sensitive glans, and lubrication and movement during sexual activity and erotic sensitivity and sensation. The foreskin is a functioning part of a man's sexual and erotic anatomy. And its routine removal through circumcision robs the man in ways we are just starting to understand and document. Today, a small but increasing number of adult men, circumcised as infants, are joining women, midwives, nurses, physicians, and social activists in an effort to question and eventually stop routine medical circumcision in the U.S. The effort has had some successes and the rate of male medical circumcision in the U.S. has declined since the mid-1980s to around 60 percent today. Finland's is .001 percent and all other European and Asian nations have similarly very low rates. Our aim is to get U.S. society and the medical profession here to join the rest of the world in rejecting this practice as cruel, mutilating and totally unnecessary.

White males/Asian females: racism in relationships ~

_ :: :.,~.,~

Over the last few years, I have noticed a disturbing view that many white males (especially older ones) have of Asian women. It shows up in their conversations: "Asian (Oriental) women sure know how to take care of a man!" "Asian girls are so good in bed (so horny, etc.). They're so sexstarved, if you give them sex they'll stay loyal to you." Even on the Internet there is a group called alt.sex.fetish.orientals; it's the ohly group of its kind that objectifies women of a specific ethnic background as sexual playthings. The main contributors to this grc:;>up are white males in their 30s or 40s. All of them make it a habit to brag about their sexual conquests of "easy Asian women." There are even "sex tours" of Asian countries used by rich American (the majority of them white) businessmen. who feel that they need to have sex with young Asian women. Sadly, many of these young ladies are still minors. Before I go any further I want you know that I don't believe that all white males objectify Asian women in this manner, nor that this kind of stereotype

doesn't exist in regards to other interracial couples. But I do have to question these attitudes; when I date an Asian girl, I am usually told by other non-Asian males about how "lucky" I am because I date an Asian female. Several of them also have had the nerve to ask me if she "takes good care of me" or if she's good in bed. At this point, it's obvious that these men (or boys) are basing these attitudes on some sort of stereotype. But what is this stereotype and where did it come from? This stereotype seems to be based on how women in Asia treat their husbands and boyfriends especially at public and social events. Unfortunately, thanks to World War II and subsequent military involvement in Asia, many American Gls saw this and assumed that these women are always like this. To compound the problem, many of the Gls brought back war brides and introduced the myth of the "loyal, submissive Asian female" to the American subconscious. While there may be a proverbial kernel to all of this, most people fail to understand the dynamics of Asian f1,1111;11l~llll

"love" relationships. These relationships are built on Confucian ethics which dictate that a "good wife" is supportive and loyal to her husband. But can we really say that about all Asian women, including Asian-American females? I suggest a possible reason for the attraction to Asian women - control. Many of the males that I have talked to who date Asian women exclusively, seem to believe in the "old-fashioned" notion of "men are men and women are women." One good example of this is military men who are married to Asian women. Before Lowry Air Force Base closed, there were a good number of Air Force personnel with Asian wives in my neighborhood. Several of these men admitted on occasion that they married these women because "they aren't American women who give you lip." One Staff Sergeant even said, 'When I come home, I expect dinner to be on the table and a clean house. Most American women won't go that extra mile to please their men, but these Oriental women do." Right now, many of you are thinking "Well, all of this is sexist, but is it 11111111111

...

really racist?" I believe it is. I look at it this way: Remarks regarding Asian women's supposed submissive demeanor or their sex drive are equal to such racist remarks as "blacks are lazy" or "Mexicans are nothing but illegal immigrants." The remarks about Asian women may sound positive and well-meaning, but they're still racist nevertheless. When one makes these kind of remarks, they are forgetting (or purposely ignoring) the fact that there is no such thing as "national (or cultural) character." This is as stupid as saying, "all Americans are rich and drive Cadillacs," or "blacks listen to nothing b~ rap or R&B music." You may laugh at this, but isn't it true that many of us make these remarks?

1n response to those who don't feel safe ... Since the issue between the College Republicans and the administration has risen, I've noticed one fallacy that has been overlooked. Nancy Helm pointed it out in her letter in the March 3 edition of The Metropolitan. :The issue of sexual orientation being that of all sexual preferences. Whether straight or homosexual, whether with an animal or a plant. So why is this suddenly a "Gay Issue?" Haven't the College Republicans said that they have never denied anyone for any reason (even if they are a Democrat) membership to their club? Furthermore, the Metro College Republicans have never kicked anyone out of their club. That record doesn't sound so "unsafe," does it? Maybe unsafe for the College Republicans but not for lesbians, gays, bisexuals. transsexuals, pedophiles, bestiality fans, necrophiliacs, and heterosexuals (did I forget any? I'm real sorry if I did.) The humorous thing about the believers in this liberal policy is that part of being "diverse" is accepting other ideas. That doesn't mean that you have to agree with them, but they should not be shoved down your throat. You shouldn't have to live in fear for your beliefs, right? Well, we are being threatened with being kicked off campus because we won't conform and because we think this policy is against our beliefs. We haven't said to anyone else, 'if you sign the form we will harass you and run you off campus.' I think it is also interesting that the

College Republicans have sponsored the most debates on this campus for the past several years. Debates are where ideas can be heard, and are where ideas can be argued in open forum. Debates show that the organization wants to hear the other side and to present their opinions to them. Sounds real intolerant. Two years ago we asked a group to debate us. Instead, they wrote a letter to the editor saying how intolerant the College Republicans are. Seems the sentiments are still the same. They can call us names but will never face the fight of ideas. It seems that they just can't bear the facts that all people don't buy into your politically correct euphoria. Celebrate diversity, unless you're a Republican, then get the hell off campus! As far as the school's responsibility, what makes it OK for a PUBLIC school to go against the Constitution of the United States and the state of Colorado? Maybe the school and those who can't see the issue for what it really is - Big Brother dictating how you act or live - should have a lesson in the First Amendment and the Bill of Rights. After all, the school reaps the benefits of the taxpayer and the student body, so Lydel, it's my money also. Jeremy Batterman Executive Director College Republicans

Thanks are due for helping out All too often people are not given the credit they deserve. I would like to take the time to recognize a few people who have done their job in an exceptional manner. Their help was instrumental in my request for an exception to policy for the three-semester-break rule. Without this petition I ~ould have had to take an additional seven credit hours in general studies. I would further like to express the professional manner in which they helped. A petition form and two phone conversations resulted in pre-approval of the acceptance of the petition. As a professional in the aviation industry and a part-time student, rarely have I seen such prompt and courteous attention. I wish to acknowledge Jett B.

Why don't they bring back the cafeteria? I haven't seen anything written on the new Tivoli Student Union and I was wondering what was thought of the Tivoli. I personally think it's great that they utilized the the resources of such a historic building, instead of letting it go to waste. One thing I miss about the old union, though, is the cafeteria. I admit it wasn't always the best food, but you could get what you wanted for a decent price. The new union seems too commercial, which limits your choices in food and is usually more expensive. Do you know if they have plans for a basic cafeteria or are they going to stay totally commercial? How much longer until the completion of the Tivoli? It seems to be taking longer than it should.

Homosexuality is a natural behavior The Metro College Republicans' "Sodomy is Not A Family Value" bumper sticker is cute, but misses the mark to the more accurate "Hate is Not A Family Value" sticker which preceded it. Perhaps sex is not a family value to the minds of those .Republican sexcloseted folk at Metro, but it is a fact of life and human nature, and is a force which motivates and binds people into lasting relationships and families. Heterosexual fellatio (sodomy) and cunnilingus (sodomy) are extracurricular backseat activities that have precipitated many families and relationships since before the invention of the motorized jalopy. Homosexuals didn't invent sodomy, genital sex or masturbation, although some (as not all gay people enjoy anal or oral sex as stereotyped) have perhaps perfected some attributes of these rather universal natural and human behavioral traits and sexplay. As a child in junior and high school 1 noted a pronounced fascination with heterosexual sodomy voiced incessantly by the so-called macho males. "Eat me" was a phrase often mouthed by fellow jocks, as was a particular

fascination with "eating pussy." I'm unclear on where the Metro College Republicans shop for their family values, but their logic as represented in this bumper sticker is flawed and academically inferior. This bumper sticker merely represents the fixation of so called ultra-conservatives with sex and sexual matters. This is a dirty cheap political shot against our gay family, folks and friends. Spirituality, hard work, loyalty, and community spirit are all family values that gay people display, but the Republi-Christian right dwells solely on the sexual aspects of the much more complete, varied, productive and spiritual lives of gay folk. Absent in this Christi-conservative hyper-focussing is any chastisement or mention of much more prevalent heterosexual practices which are equally or more varied and exotic than any displayed by homosexuals. Love, tolerance, charity and acceptance of natural individual (individuals are the basic building blocks of our families) human differences are the traditional family values upon which we built our nation. Somewhere along the way, an aberrant so-called

Christian-right · has perverted and infected our politics with anti-family religious rhetoric of family-splitting division and hate. Our gay family folk are as much members and products of our families and communities as any other reproductive and social product. God is the ultimate family planner. God made diversity. Honoring diversity honors God. We cannot make or teach anyone to be straight or gay. Only God can do that. It's time to accept homosexuality as the natural behavioral trait that it is for gay folk, to begin enculturating our gay family members and friends positively into our mainstream _society, and to welcome them home again instead of demonizing and ostracizing them. A good place to begin is by merely extending our basic system of ordinary constitutionally-guaranteed rights to be free from extra-constitutional discrimination, harassment and violence in our homes, our communities, our schools,and our jobs to our gay brothers and sisters.

The Gospel according to Elvis part II ""i• "

©~~-ta . w '-'~'M$f

al~~~he Gospel According to Elvis are the canonized writings of the First Presleyterian Church, held by the church to be divinely inspired by Elvis and therefore infallible. The 12 books of holy scripture (13 including the Apocrypha) came to the church in a variety of ways. Many of them can be traced to members of the King's entourage - the men and women who lived with Elvis during the 23 years of his mission on earth. All of these entouragic texts were written between 42-53 A.E., or 19771988 PY the Judea-Christian calendar. They were all written anonymously. In· fact, church scholars have determined that none of the entouragic texts were actually written by members of the entourage themselves. The reason for this is simple: few members of the entourage were able to read or write. The entouragic books of the Gospel were actually composed by people who knew members of the King's inner court - the entourage's entoutage, if you will. They'd heard the

first-hand stories about the King from the entourage. Ultimately, they put this oral tradition into written form. The Book of Genesis falls into this category. It is a remarkable document for two reasons. It is the only book of the Gospel to give us a substantive account of the King's formative years. More importantly, the entouragic school that produced the book is still a matter of debate. Some church scholars claim Cousin Gene as the original source for these Elvis stories. Others believe it was the late Nick Adams, an actor who joined the entourage briefly during the Early Years of the King's mission. Here, then, are several more verses from Genesis, Chapter One, from The Gospel According to Elvis: "Elvis turned away from his fans in the Middle Years and he became a remote god. He made his . sums of albums and movies and money. His fortune increased a hundredfold, and his fame reached to every comer of the world, and he was still proclaimed the King.

The award made it possible for Visona to travel Europe for three weeks to obtain illustrations and photographs for her new Survey of African Art textbook. The award has paid for fall and spring semesters of the 199495 school year. Visona is expected to return to Metro in the spring of 1996. Visona said the text has three other principal writers, and the editor will be a well-known African colleague who teaches at Amherst College. "We are hoping that the text is used not only at Metro but throughout the United States as well," Visona said. The text will be divided into the regions of Africa,

and covers art from archaeological artifacts to present contemporary works. "My colleagues and I are hoping it will shed a new light on Africa," Visona said. "It is unusual that the NEH will award grants to people who are presenting their findings in a format that is of interest to the general public," Visona said. "We feel very fortunate." Reviewers usually award grants to support new and original findings that will benefit the cultural life of the United States. Visona spent time in Europe instead of Africa studying the art because most African art from the 18th century is no longer in Africa. The best pieces have been transported to the former colonial powers. Visona saw the African artwork in France, Britain and Belgium. Susan Josepher, chairwoman of Metro's Art Department, said she was very pleased with Visona receiving the grant. Josepher has not contributed to the book but said she looks forward to its coming. "The book will be an entire display of African art," said Josepher. Margo Espenlaub, a women's studies professor and activist, said, "Monica's work is very important to all students because, as an Africanist, she is going to bring a non-Western view of people working in the creative arts." Visona said she is very grateful to Metro and her students. "The text is the kind of book that needs to be responsive with the kinds of questions that students ask at Metro," she said, adding that the book will be a lot stronger with the students' input.

Peanut Butter Projects a f adillg Auraria memory Aurarla History Eon G. Arth The Metropolitan

Fifty-five years ago, Denver was realizing a dream of providing "the privileges of homes that all Americans should enjoy." That is, affordable public housing for families who were severely effected by the Great Depression. This was a product of Roosevelt's New Deal, an effort to revitalize the nation's economic and moral fiber, and of the newly created Denver Housing Authority (DHA), whose primary mission was to address the housing needs of a vital working population. The Lincoln Park Homes, later known as the North Lincoln Park Housing Projects, were located on the south side of Colfax Avenue between 13th Avenue, Mariposa and Osage Streets, adjoining the Auraria Campus to the north and Lincoln/La Alma Park on the south. The neighborhood, which lies directly south of the Auraria campus, is formally known as the Hunt's Addition, land donated by former Territorial Governor A. C. Hunt. It was his wish that Lincoln Park would become the courthouse site. It didn't, but in 190 l Lincoln Park became a part of the Denver Park System, and a neighborhood was developed around the park. By the late 1930s, the neighborhood was already in a "neglected and deteriorating state," a primary reason stated for the site's selection. The houses which

WAY BACK WHEN: The Aurarla Campus wasn't even a dream when the Lincoln Park projects were built In 1940-42. were replaced by Lincoln Park Homes were very similar to those still standing in the blocks nearby, now a historic district. The neighborhood has long been predominantly Hispanic, Catholic and poor. In recent years, Hispanic activists have managed to get the park renamed Lincolri/La Alma Park. Built in 1940-42, the Lincoln Park Homes project was the second of many. Housing projects are rarely architecturally noteworthy; this one, however, holds a

special significance. Architect Temple Hoyne Buell ranks historically as one of Denver's premier designers for a number of distinctively characteristic public and commercial buildings. Many of his works are very stylish and known for their ornamental brickwork, such as Horace Mann School (1931) , 4131 Navajo St. , and the Paramount Theatre (1929), downtown at 1631 Glenarm Place. A later example of his work is the old Denver Post Building

(1949), at 15th and California Streets, now vacant. Buell was frustrated at the government's insistence that he keep ornamentation at a minimum on the Lincoln Park commission. Constrained by an extremely tight budget, he managed to embellish these streamlined buildings with a distinct Western flavor; indeed, his work is now known as "Western Style" in the annals of architectural history. Somewhat affectionately known to residents and neighbors as the "Peanut Butter Projects" for their smooth brownand-buff-colored block and tile exteriors, the enclave had long been a hotbed of crime - a haven for gangs to conduct open-air drug trade and hide stolen goods. Despite this fact, the majority of North Lincoln Park residents were decent people who were happy with their neighborhood, for reasons ranging from a "sense of community" to "cheap rent." A glaring example of the ongoing problems associated with providing for the poor, residents of this four-squareblock area have once again been displaced, and their former dwellings have been demolished. The land is now being cleared, and DHA has plans underway for a more amicable community. The original 422-unit gridiron will be replaced by an airy townhouse design containing a mere 206 units, including a mid-rise apartment building for the elderly situated behind a commercial development along Colfax Avenue. The objective is to provide a safer, friendlier environment, featuring less population density and more amenities for the residents and surrounding area, including Auraria.

Are they, as George Orwell wrote in 1940, "gi:uff voiced" women "in corduroy breeches" who "could walk along· the streets without attracting a glance"?· Are they practicing, as some pornography suggests, for "real sex'"with men? Is lesbian sex purely for the erotic pleasure of men, as some magazine advertising w9uld have us · believe? Lesbi~s are as distinct as planets.

Because Sappho's poetry is remerIJbered particularly for its themes about the iove of one woman for another - ~ove ranging from gentle affection to sexual passion - Lesbos became la)ow·n as the island of women who love women.

When 53.4 percent of Colorado voters approved Amendment 2, which bans antidiscrimination laws for homosexuals, it brought the issue of women loving women and men loving men out of the bedroom and into our living rooms. It was blocked from becoming law, and this fall the U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments and decide whether it is constitutional. The decision will tum the Colorado case into a<.. national test for gay rights. At Metro, President Sheila Kaplan has met with gay, lesbian and bisexual students to discuss their concerns. She said she feels confident that the environment on campus is one of tolerance. "I don't have the feeling right now that there are any major new policy changes or f'(lajor new initiatives that we ought to be looking at," she said. "Right now I think we're in a reasonably good situation now that could change tomorrow. But nobody has given me a list of suggestions as to things they think need to happen."

Den· ise . J· oh n son Denise Johnson had the proverbial crush on a couple of female teachers, but the first time the 21 -year-old UCD philosophy major had any clue that sh~ was a Jesbian, she was 16. "I was totally in love w.ith my best friend, and she was totally in love with rrie., And we couldn't deal with it .. Every time one of us would liave a boyfriend it would really frCak us out." . The "suburban soap opera" ended with a pregnant Denise- getting together with her first girlfriend . . Her daughter, now 4, attends Auraria Child Care Center. The "people that matter',.in Denise's family are very supportive. She grew up with her mom and grandmother, who are "fine" with her lifestyle, and an aunt who is especially acceptil1g. "Everybody else in my family either . has worked very hard to not figure it out or just sort of ignores it. I've been very out to some of my aunts, giving them newspaper articles that said 'Denise

Johnson - a lesbian on campus' and they're like, 'that's nice that you're fighting for those people's rights.'" Denise said she has never felt intimidated on campus. 'vfhe few people who really get overt and aggressive about their distaste for it are seen by most people - straight and gay - as being the ones who have the problem." Denise said she wouldn't have a .blanket statement about lesbians to tell mainstream America. "From a political standpoint, I would . say that we're just like everybody else but that's a lie. We're not, but then neither is anybody else. There's no such thing as a group called lesbians, or at least a_ homogenous group called lesbians." To lesbians who are not out of the closet, Denise would offer a "rational outness philosophy." "Stay alive is definitely above stay out."

..._

Anne Tanner said she didn't know of the word lesbian until she was 19. "I don't know if I could even say that I was a lesbian as a child," she said, "because I didn't even know that the word existed." Anne, 28, a Metro history major, grew up in Houston. One -;. of eight children, she moved to Colorado in 1981 with her family, which she described as "very Catholic, very conservative." But her mother has more than accepted Anne's lifestyle. "I'm a part of her life," Anne said. "She's a big part of my life. When I first came out to her it wasn't like that at all. It was an ugly, terrible, bad thing. But we've worked at it, and it's a good thing now. "It was a slow process with different family members." Anne was 20 when she came out in 1985. The same year, Anne experienced discrimination for the first time. She was at an 18 to 21 gay bar when some people came in and started beating up on bar patrons. The bartender was helpless to do anything but call the police. ''The police wouldn't even walk into the club," Anne said. "So in order for the violence to end, we had to leave. And even at that point in time the police wouldn't arrest these guys, although I'm not really sure why. I was too angry." Anne said the environment on campus is different in different places. "Class isn't the place to come out and be out," she said. ~ . "But you would hope that people would be open. Some of the remarks that are made in class shouldn't ever be made. You ·wouldn't expect anyone to make a racist statement in class, but it's OK for them to make a homophobic statement in class." She wouldn 't hold hands with her girlfriend in front of the ROTC but she feels very comfortable going into the Daily Grind to have coffee with a group of lesbians and be "very out." Anne said she wishes mainstream America would let the issue of sexual preference go. "I don't ask about what other people do in private, and I

Bachelder

Metro philosophy major Amy Bachelder, 21, grew up in a "very heterosexual" family of all women in Cape Cod, Mass. She moved to Colorado when she was 17, both to attend school and to come out "At the time," she said, "I didn't know that's what I was doing." Amy said she "wimped out" telling her mother. She called her at 2 a.m. Denver time - 4 a.m. in Cape Cod - and woke her up. "Mom, there's something I really need to tell you," she said. "What is it?" her mother asked. "Mom, I think I'm gay." "Can we talk about this in the morning?" Amy waited for the phone to ring all the next day. It never did. Shortly after, she got a letter from her mom that said Amy hadn't had great relationships with men in her entire life, and that was probably why she was going through this "phase." After Amy met her current girlfriend and was with her for two-and-a-half years, her mom figured out it wasn't a phase. "She's cool with it in her own way. She sent my girlfriend a Christmas present and she hasn't ever met her. That was her way of saying, 'OK, I'm accepting this.' "It look me 19 years of my life to accept it within me. And I can't expect her to accept it overnight." Accepting herself as a lesbian didn't take any pressure off Amy. ''To be the black sheep in a family is never easy. And then to turn around and find out you're also the black sheep of society is not easy. "I don't have the luxury of feeling completely comfortable holding my girlfriend's hand walking through a supermarket, because people gawk at you. That's a luxury heterosexual people take for granted." Her Auraria experience has been dichotomous.

part of my life and you accept that or you don't, in which case you won't be a part of my life.' But then when dealing with an entire society of people, it's a little bit harder than that. Because Newt Gingrich doesn't want to be a part of my life."

"When I'm in Lesbian Theory, everything is grand," she said. But in some classes, it isn't. An instructor gave out pink triangles to a class for Valentine's Day, National Coming Out Day in Canada. When Amy's class met in the same classroom afterward, the pink triangles where still on the front desk. "My teacher made a pretty rude comment about them," Amy said. "I didn't think that was very cool. But that's just ignorance. What are you going to do? Argue with your instructor? I don't think so." What Amy wishes mainstream America would realize about lesbians: "I'm not a lesbian because I was abused by men. I'm not a lesbian because I've had bad relationships with men. My best friend is a man. I'm a lesbian because I Jove women."

Sometimes she gets funny looks and strange comments, but sh~ feels

fortunate that it has never gone beyond that. "I think I'm living in a time that's trying to become more tolerant. And I also surround myself with tolerant people, namely college campuses and urban neighborhoods." Although her social network on campus is primarily other gay people, Teri meets people riding on the Internet. "I've discovered a whole new social network out there. And I don' t know if they're gay or straight. I just know that they can type and that there's some excellent conversations out there." The message Teri would give to mainstream America is simple: "I'm not a vampire. I don't do the conversion thing. I don't want to be a man. I don't want my sexuality to be the focal point of my being, because it's not. It's just a part of me. It's not all of who I am.

Warrior Marks unveils deeply disturbing ritual Kristy Frei

The Metropolitan If you have never heard of female circumcision, which is actually genital mutilation involving the removal of the clitoris, you might be shocked when you see Alice Walker's film Warrior Marks. Walker, an African American writer known for her novel The Color Purple, walks through the daily life of countries that still practice these brutal rituals. The film was shown Monday in the Tivoli Student Union in conjunction with Women's History Month. In the film Walker speaks with a woman who escaped from her homeland.

The woman saw a friend have the ritual performed on her and then die within two days. The woman Walker talked to said her family did not understand why she didn't want to go through with the procedure, and that her father ordered her to go through with it. The woman left her country and has not been back since, because she defiantly broke family traditions and fears that no one will accept her. Walker spoke with women in Africa who actually performed the ritual, and the women revealed what is actually removed: the clitoris and the inner and outer labia. Whatever is left is stitched up. These women had performed so many rit-

uals they couldn't count them. Another woman tells how the procedure went for her. A festival takes place the night before with ritualistic dancing and singing. Young girls line up - some not even the age of three. The next day, the girls walked one by one into a hut where the clitoris is removed with a knife and sand poured on the raw flesh. The woman said she was expected not to cry or scream. She broke the silence. Walker said that most of the procedures are done by women who have been through the procedure themselves. She added that knives are used twice and only rinsed off with water. One woman shared

She answered questions and said this not only happens in rural Africa, but around the world in Malaysia, Europe, Canada and even in the United States. Each year two million young girls have their clitorises removed, James said. Be prepared to be angry and frustrated if you do choose to see this 50-minute film.

'Butterflies' don't fly Louis A. Landa News Editor

_....

To call Butterflies Are Free a period piece is a bit of a stretch. But the current production at the Denver Civic Theatre will take you back to the late 60s with its peace signs, Jim Morrison poster and Beatles music. It will also make you queslion the state of the American theater during this same time period. This Leonard Gershe play can best be described as quaint. It tells the story of a young blind man named Don Baker (Stephen Remund). Don is striving for independence from his fastidiously attentive mother Mrs. Baker (Brenda L. Harris). Don searches for his freedom in New York City. He rents a studio apartment and settles in. Early in the story Don meets his neighbor Ji~]. Tan~er (~rica Brookhart). The free spmted Jill qmckly makes herself at home with Don and his apartment., They unlock the d~r that separates their apartments and this unlocks any inhibitions between this couple. They share their life stories and themselvP.~

until Donfs mother pays a surprise visit. Each person then plays a game of honesty and personal examination until each ends with a different understanding of themselves and each other. This play does have a few laughs and does present some interesting, although outdated question, this produclion never comes across as believable or satisfying. Itfs difficult to tell if it is the 25 year old script or the actors. The actors seem suited for the roles, but there is always the sense that there was more to give. Stephen Remund plays Don and is just never fully convincing as a .blind person. He tries too hard to capture the mannerisms and head movements of someone unable to see. Erica Brookhart gives an acceptable performance as the capricious Jill. Her bright and frolicsome-expression add to her high energy performance. She tries to singlehandedly keep the tempo and ener_ gy up among a cast that for the most part drags themselves uneasily about the stage. The production never succeeds at the most basic level.

'Hot' virus breaks out in action thriller Isaac Mion Staff Writer Hemorrhaging of the eyes, internal bleeding, open sores on the surface of the skin and mouth, and intestines that turn to liquid in a matter of days. These are the types of sympt9ms portrayed in this season's latest thriller film, Outbreak.

Outbreak: Deadly virus on the loose continued from page 21 tum brings a sense of plausibility to the whole story without reminding us that Hoffman was once a cross-dresser and an autistic who could count toothpicks really fast. Although the story is basically centered around Daniels and his quest for the holy anti-virus, the rest of the cast, including Morgan Freeman and Cuba Gooding Jr., also put out decent performances. Gooding plays Sam's sidekick, who pilots a helicopter in a high speed chase a la Air Wolf away from our ensuing protagonist played by Donald Sutherland Just a glance at Sutherland's bug eyes is enough to make you hate him, but th!s baddy's close-minded theories as the highest-ranking military officer and his secret little plan for the town infected by the virus turns that hatred into sheer loathing.

In any typical suspense movie Sutherland's character would be blown to pieces or dropped into a vat of boiling oil at the end as hero and heroine kiss in the sunset. Although Petersen incorporates no such overly-sensational tactics, Outbreak still manages to keep you riveted to your seat without showing the gruesome details of a very gruesome viral infection. Perhaps the reality of the story is what makes it so gripping. The military intervention in the movie is definitely speculation, but we all know that biological warfare and diseases like the flesh-eating virus are present in our own back yards. Outbreak is right up there with other big suspense hits like The Fugitive or the Star Wars trilogy only this time what's at stake is on a much larger scale and even closer to home, in geography and reality. Oh yeah, and don't pet the monkeys.

Roadrunners cry foul Pioneers get tweet revenge, beating Metro in tournament final Michael BeDan Sports Editor

A four-game winning streak against the University of Denver and a 13-game storm through Colorado Athletic Conference opponents was not enough to propel the women's basketball team past DU in the CAC Tournament final. The Roadrunners, undefeated in CAC play this season, lost to DU 63-58 in a contest marred by inconsistent officiating and poor shooting. Metro had beaten the Pioneers four straight times, dating back to last season, and appeared to be en route to another win early in the first half. The Roadrunners led 24-15 with 6:23 remaining in the first half when DU exploded on a 13-0 run to take a 28-24 lead. "We went real flat and lost our concentration," Metro assistant coach Ray Jay Johnson said of his team's play during the DU run. "They shot the ball well and played good defense on us. We took some real hurried shots instead of being more patient." Metro guard Chalae Collard scored the final four points of the first half, sending both teams to the locker room with 28 points. Metro shot just .375 percent in the first half but held DU to a miniscule .278. The second half began with a 7-0 run by the Roadrunners. Metro extended the lead to as many as nine before DU went on a 10-2 spurt to jump ahead 51-48 at the 7:08 mark. Metro forward Mary Henry answered by hitting a trey with 6 :01 remaining to tie the score. Then the sky broke open, and it rained Metro fouls. The Roadrunners were whistled for seven personals in the last 5:40 of the contest while the Pioneers were called for just one. DU shot 12 free throws during that time and built a 60-58 lead with just 1:07 remaining. Down by two, Metro guard Tammi Baumgartner (last season's tournament hero who drained the winning bucket against DU with just four seconds remaining in overtime in the CAC championship game) was called for traveling when she jump stopped and looked to pass the ball. Metro then fouled DU center Kelly Cobb, who made both free throws and iced the win for the Pioneers. DU would add another free-throw, freezing the scoreboard at 63-58. Freshmen guard Michelle Marshall heaved and missed a desperation threepointer for Metro as time expired. It would not have mattered. Metro coach Darryl Smith shook hands with DU coach Tracey Sheehan, then focused his attention on berating officials as he walked off the court. Smith was livid after the game and said the referees were ridiculous. "There is nothing else I can say," Smith said. "Don't make me say something I don't want to say. It's just pitiful. That's

SAY IT AIN'T SO: Metro center Vanessa Edwards sits dejectedly on the bench after fouling out of the CAC Tournament final. Edwards, the CAC Player of the Year, had just four points in the game. She averaged 17.5 on the season. all I'm going to say." On paper, Smith's assertion of poor officiating seems valid. The Roadrunners were whistled for 21 fouls while DU committed just 14. The Pioneers shot 27 freethrows. Metro shot 13. "I feel bad for my kids," Smith said. 'They played their guts out like they always do." Smith was without two of his star players in crunch time as point guard Sarah Eckhoff fouled out with 4:29 left and Vanessa Edwards got the hook with 1: 18 on the clock. Eckhoff finished with a team high 12 points and added five assists. Edwards, the CAC's leading scorer, had just four points, prompting Johnson to comment on the officiating. "We couldn't get a call down low," Johnson said. "There is no way you shut down Vanessa Edwards to four points." Johnson said the team wouldn't use the officiating as an excuse. "It is the same old stuff with us," Johnson said. "If we can shoot the ball, it's not even close. We don't have to worry about free throws." Metro shot .348 for the game, making just 23 of 66 shots, but held DU to .328, strengthening the Roadrunners ' case of

foul-shot disparity being the chief factor in the loss. Eckhoff and Henry played their last game in Metro uniforms and had differing perspectives after the loss~ Henry said bad calls played a huge role in the outcome. "It's ridiculous," Henry said. "The posts were getting killed. You are not supposed to let that be a factor, but when it's that inconsistent, you can't do anything." Eckhoff was diplomatic. "You can't blame; it on the refs," Eckhoff said. "They did the best job they could. We played hard to the end and didn't quit. That is just the way the ball bounces." Both players said they would look back fondly on their Metro careers. Eckhoff, who transferred to Metro from Colorado State University two years ago, said she would always remember the 12-0 CAC regular season title. "It was a great turnaround for me coming from CSU,'' Eckhoff said. "I'm really thankful that I had the teammates that I did and the coaching staff that I did. I don't feel like we ended on a bad note." Henry said this was her best year personally and that this team was the best she has played on in her four years. She said

having it all end is the hard part. "It sucks," Henry said. "It goes by real fast. I just wish I could go back and do it all over again." Metro finished the season 15-13.

Baseball team swings into action, loses home opener Men steal two of three over weekend at Mesa, but lose to University of Denver at home on Wednesday Nikolas Wilets Baseball Wrffer The University of Denver baseball team beat Metro 5-3 in the Roadrunners' home opener, reciprocating Metro's season opening win at DU. The Roadrunners fell to 3-2 with a listless performance on Wednesday. A comedy of Metro errors, three in the second inning, led to three Pioneer runs and a quick lead. DU led 5-0 before the Roadrunners managed to score in the sixth inning with the bases juiced. Metro outfielder Thom Hartman smacked a shot to right field, bringing home all three baserunners on a stand-up double. Metro never scored again. "We still have a lot of work," Metro skipper Vince Porreco said. "It's still early in the season. Defensively we didn 't play well. We made mental mistakes and they cost us. We didn't hit in the clutch situations." Pitcher Matt Torrez started the game for Metro, allowing nine hits and five runs in five innings pitched. Only two of the Pioneer runs were earned, however, as the Roadrunner allowed three on errors . Torrez said he wasn' t happy with his first action of the season. "It wasn't a good one," Torrez said. "I didn't get the ball down the first couple of innings. It got better as it went along." Torrez also said the team effort was poor. "I took it upon myself to tell (the team) that we played like dog piss," Torrez said. ''We played hard at the end, but you can't wait until the sixth inning to play." Metro could muster just four hits while allowing DU to put 13 balls into play. The Roadrunners stranded 11 men on the bags and could not capitalize in the seventh and final inning with the tying run at the plate. Hartman said crunch-time hitting cost the Roadrunners in the end. "The guy (DU pitcher Dan Timm) threw the ball right there," Hartman said. "We just didn't put the ball in play when we had guys on base." Metro' s first road series ended successfully after a cold start in the three

Metro dropped the first game 4-2, with Sergio Cedillos and Matt Torrez crossing the plate for the Roadrunners in Saturday's first game. "We were a little timid going into the first game," Torrez said. "After that we played hard and didn't make errors." Metro heated up in flip side of Saturday's doubleheader, winning 8-5 off路 an 11-hit, one-error performance. Don Ortiz hit Metro's only home run in the game. Metro ended the weekend with another win on Sunday, beating Mesa 6-4.

"We've got a lot of great athletes and we are going to bounce back from this," Porreco said. "We need to play errorless ball. In the first (DU game) we played outstanding defense. Today we didn' t."

r--------------------------------------, HOW TO HANG ON TO YOUR DOUGH. (WITHOUT CRAMPING YOUR STYLE)

Separate "needs" from "wants." Hint: A bed is a need. A Mr. Microphone is a want.

Split the bill but only pay your share. Why put in for someone else's swordfish if all you got was soup?

Set aside money for emergencies. Unless you'd rather call your parents for it instead.

Keep your eye on your wallet. Have a Citibank Classic card in case you lose it The Lost WalletsM Service can get you . emergency cash ~ a new card, usually within 24 hours, and help replacing vital documents. *Based on available cash line.
