Search for new provost completed Candidate from North Dakota State accepts position, will begin in July Kevin Juhasz Senior Staff Writer 路 The search for a new Metro provost bas come to a close with Sharon Wallace of North Dakota State University accepting the position. 路 Metro President Sheila Kaplan visited NDSU in Fargo last week, where Wallace is vice president for Academic Affairs. At the college, Kaplan visited with the president, all the vice presidents and deans, and some department chairs. She said she received very high evaluations of Wallace from them. "She is extremely bright, and she knows higher education and higher education issues up one side and down the other," she said. Kaplan also said that Walface possesses all the right instincts and is committed to excellence and diversity.

"Everything I heard was exactly the kinds of skills and the kinds of commitments that I was looking for, so I couldn't have been more pleased," Kaplan said. Wallace holds a doctorate in education from Pennsylvania State University. She has been employed at NDSU since August 1991, and published more than 20 times in various journals and magazines. In 1988, Wallace received the National Leader A ward from the American Associa.tion of Family Consumer Science. Kaplan dismissed questions about problems with Wallace that were reported /

in The Metropolitan on March 31 . The article reported that 81 percent of the respondents in a survey at NDSU felt Wallace was not committed to academic freedom. "I heard absolutely nothing, and I was up there and I talked to the people, that suggested that is valid," Kaplan said. Kaplan said Wallace and the NDSU president encountered major problems at the college and made major changes, including replacing deans and changing standards for granting tenure and promotions.

People at NDSU who were not happy with the changes were very up front about it, Kaplan said, but admitted that Wallace was doing the right thing. "They praised the way Sharon Wallace handled the issue," she said. ''They admitted that what she was doing had to be done." Wallace will start her position as provost and vice president of Academic Affairs in July. She will also be a tenured professor with the Sociology Department if the department recommends it. Joan Foster, who has served as interim provost since July, is pleased with the outcome. "I'm really pleased that the search has been compleied, and I'm looking forward to working with Dr. Wallace and I'm looking forward to returning as dean of the School of Letters, Arts and Sciec.ces," she said.

Students rally against cuts in federal financial aid Robert Arrieta The Metropolitan

...,

Protests rang from Lawrence Street Mall, on the Auraria campus, all the way to the steps of the capitol Wednesday as students rallied to protect their student loans. The protest was conducted by the three Auraria colleges in conjunction with Regis University in direct response to the House of Representatives passing bill HR 1158 which, if left in its current form, would cut $47 million from the student loan program. More than 67 percent of Metro students rely on student loans according to President, Sheila Kaplan, who was one of the speakers at the rally. Metro's Student The Metropolitan/Jenny Sparks Government President Megan Reyes said she feels this is racism.

Weiske said that she requested the Most n:ierchants agree that a lack of position through marketing is at the root of this problem.

and plans in this position were, Ganni replied, "That's none of your business. The tenants know what my goals are, and that's all that matters." In addition to Ganni, Tim Gonerka is also on Soker' s payroll. According to Hostetter, Gonerka was hired as a management and marketing consultant, and handled such matters as the leasing contracts for the tenants. However, Gonerka said he & was not involved ·in any facet of the planning of the food court. "Right now, I'm kind of part time at Auraria," Gonerka said. "My position is that of a retail coordinator, however, I'm functioning more as an agent." So who does handle marketing and promotion for the Tivoli? "Ultimately we have the responsibility of bringing people into this building," Weiske said. "How many students know

that there' s a Ticketmaster here? How many students knew about SiGi's Cabaret? We haven' t been getting the word out." In order to solve the problem, Weiske is submitting a proposal for a full-time marketing coordinator in her next fiscal budget. She said the salary will be between $25,000 and $28,000 to start. "That' s based on comparisons of state and private sector people in that position," she added. Weiske said that marketing and promotion of the Tivoli is an area in which Tivoli Management is lacking. "We were working on a tight budget this year, so people were spread around trying to do everything," Weiske said. "This is one place where I feel we need to go out-of-house in order to find someone who has the experience and training necessary to do the job." As far as the position of design/marketing assistant goes, Weiske said that after this year, it will be re-evaluated. "Lori's position developed out of a serious need to have someone work with the architects during the early part of the year," Weiske said. "It was of a primarily temporary nature."

Watch what you say on evaluation day Faculty can review handwritten comments on teacher evaluation forms Kevin Juhasz Senior Staff Writer

. ::;,

Despite efforts to keep student evaluations of instructors anonymous, it may be possible for professors to deduce which students wrote the comments. When evaluations are handed out, . professors are required to leave the room. The entire process is handled by a student. The designated student bands out the forms, collects them, seals them in an envelope, signs his or her name on it and - returns it to the department secretary. The department is not allowed to open the envelope. After the end of the semester, professors are allowed to view the original evaluations, including the handwritten comments. The instructions that are read to students state, "Please It>te that yow- perceptions of the instructor's teaching will be '·analyzed and given to the instructor only after the grades for the semester have been submitted." It does not state on the instructions or on the questionnaires that the handwritten comments allowed on the back of the form will be seen by the instructor.

In March 1993, History Professor Tom Altherr wrote a letter to a student, K. Russell Lohse, in response to the comments Lohse wrote on a teacher evaluation. The evaluation form was written by the History department and handed out in addition to the normal evaluation. Like the normal evaluation forms, students are instructed not to write their names on the form. Altherr recalled the student' s comments after reading his application for a scholarship, and then wrote a letter in response, which was printed on Metro letterhead stationery. In part, the letter reads: "When I saw your remarks, I wondered who that could be. Had I not finally recognized your distinctive printing style, you would have been one of the last people I would have guessed." In an interview, Altherr said his own Jetter was incorrect and that handwriting had nothing to do with identifying Lohse. He added that the remarks Lohse made were "extremely scathing." i Altherr stated in the letter and in the interview that he was angry that Lohse didn't make the remarks on the evaluation in person. Altherr also said during the course Lohse gave the impression that he

Metro senior Jennifer Petrick said The last paragraph starts with Altherr seeing the comments could cause harm to stating, "But, Russell, you owe me an the students later on, but professors apology at the very least for your coward- should know what the comments are. ly actions, and perhaps even an explana"Maybe if they typed it out or sometion." thing," she said.

AMC, Auraria plan creative financing for theater expansion Christopher Anderson Senior Staff Writer The Auraria Board plans to build a $3.5 million facility for AMC Movie Theaters through a company to be established within the Auraria Foundation. AMC will use the building as an annex for more theaters but refused to continue its lease at the Tivoli Student Union unless Auraria agreed to pay for the construction, said JoAnn Soker, executive vice president of administration to Auraria. The Auraria Foundation, a nonprofit organization designed to bring private money to campus, will establish a profitoriented company named Auraria Foundation, Inc. The purpose of the company is to borrow money for the construction of a free-standing building that would be built on the site of Auraria's tennis courts, Soker said. AMC would lease the building and pay rent to the new corporation which would in turn give the money to the

Auraria Board's student facilities bond fund and parking bond fund, according to the documents. Soker said continuing Auraria' s direct lease with AMC would be more desirable. But because the Auraria Board doesn't have the money for construction and is prevented from going into debt, a new institution has to t.ie <:rPated to bor· row the money. "It would be much more desirable if the board could continue a direct lease with AMC." Soker said. "It's so much more straightforward." Although the Auraria Foundation and Auraria Board are separate organizations, there are connections between the two. Soker who is considered a staff member to the Auraria Board is a board member of the Auraria Foundation. Auraria Board Chairman Manuel Martinez is a partner at the same law firm as Donald Bain, who is an Auraria Foundation board member and former chairman of the Auraria Board. · Dwayne Nuzum, executive director of the Colorado Commission of Higher

Education, said those connections are not a conflict of interest. Nuzum also said it is not unusual for nonprofit institutions involved in higher education to create companies that borrow money. Nuzum said the University of Colorado at Boulder's foundation has done the same thing. Soker said it's important that AMC stay at the Tivoli because essentially it will keep student fees from rising. Soker said students pay a low facilities bond fee because part of the rent from the Tivoli merchants pays back the bond that funded the renovation of the Student Union. She said AMC draws business for the other Tivoli merchants, making the Tivoli a desirable place to run a business. If the merchants move out, student fees have to be raised to make up for the lost profits. Soker disclosed the Auraria Board's dealings with AMC after receiving advice from the attorney general's office. She previously considered the matter closed to the public.

.File Clerk

No settlement was reached yesterday in a closed-hearing between Metro and financial aid office employees who are suing the school for sex discrimination and violation of the Equal Pay Act. Cheryl Judson, Judith Lichtenfeld and Susan McGinley attempted to negotiate settlement of the complaint filed against Metro in March 1994. In court documents • the plaintiffs asked for compensation in excess of $600,000 for back pay, emotional stress and liquidated damages. Although no settlement was reached, the plaintiffs attorney, Jeffrey Hyman said that all doors to negotiate a settlement were not closed. Metro's President Sheila Kaplan was in court yesterday but would not comment on the hearing. A motion for a summary judgement was filed by Metro's attorneys on March 7. This is a motion to end a case without a trial. However, Hyman said that the court indicated yesterday that such a motion would not be granted.

"""METRDPOUTAN Nothirlg wrong with homophobia EDITOR

I have some issues to raise about the aparrant (sic) rise of "homophobia." Is there really a rise in homophobia? Well, I have a surprise for you ... Yes, there is a rise in homophobia, but not the kind of homophobia that we are used to. This homophobia is the insane idea that some people have that everyone is out to get them. The idea that because someone is against something then they are afraid of it is not only ridiculous, it is also frightening. People have been against things for years, possibly forever. And does that make their opposition a phobia? Absolutely not.

In her letter to the editor (The Met, March 31), Julie Powell quotes the Bible. Then she says, "After all, we're not the judges. God is." With the actions of John Salvi and Paul Hill that doesn't appear to be the case. If Powell doesn't believe "we should not go around beating, making fun of or slamming other opinions" - i.e. homosexuals - she should watch some of the radical fundamentalist talk shows. This stems from (Leviticus 20:13 and Romans 1:26-32) saying homosexuals deserve to be put to death. Among the other things the Bib re scripturally demands is killing people like adulters, stubborn sons, nonChristians and anyone who follows a different religion. Powell feels compelled to be defined by the dictates of the Bible. Fine, Julie, go ahead! Take John Salvi. When he wasted the woman at the

clinic, it is said he asked her, "is this the pre-term clinic?" If protecting the unborn was their ultimate value, shouldn't John Salvi have asked the woman if she was pregnant before he wasted her? To me, even with many people saying only through the Bible can we have ultimate absolute higher moral authority, most people do have an ultimate higher authority of values and morality beyond the flawed teachings of a small tribe. Most often this comes from parents actually being parents and setting limits on their children. If Julie really needs the Bible crutch, then by all means do it. But what limits do these fanatics who believe in the absolute word of the Bible instill in their children in terms of respect for life? Susan Smith's father not only sexually abused her but apparently put some doubt in her head as to the value of

human life, and he was a member of the Christian Coalition! When the religious right has its bloody victory in the abortion battle, do you really think they won't move on into the other areas of people needing to be killed for Biblical dictates I have mentioned before? Indeed, it may become safer to be an unthinking, unfeeling lump of flesh in the womb than to be a human being with loves, hates, feelings, and emotions - all of which so greatly enrage these fanatics. Lastly, so many people seem to awed by the Bible's admonition that God will ultimately judge you. To ·me, no big deal - do it! l ! l

Barnum takes audience to the circt Louis A. Landa News Editor

FLYING HIGH: Michael Lion naturally portrays circusgreat P.T. Barnum in the Denver Civic Theatre's production of Barnum. The play runs through April 30. Ticket prices are $15 Fridays and Saturdays and $12 Thursdays and Sundays. For more information and reservations call 595- ;~300.

While watching Barnum, the current production at The Denver Civic Theatre, I got the sense that if P.T. Barnum was alive today, he would be producing tabloid TV news programs and Arnold Schwarzenegger movies. During the 1800s, Phineas Taylor Barnum gave the people what they wanted: the odd, unusual and unique. He draped it in bright colors and prec;en<ed it with flash and panache, which is exactly how this month-long run of Barnum is being presented. Barnum depicts the flamboyant life of the master showman and self-proclaimed "Prince of Humbugs," and traces his early successes and failures. His first foray into showbiz was with Joice Heth (Ernestine Mathis), whom Barnum passed off as the 160-year-old nurse of George Washington. An early setback for Barnum was a fire that destroyed the American Museum in New York City, where he displayed a variety of freaks and animal oddities. One of his first big successes was discovering and signing the 28-inch-tall Charles Sherwood Stratton. Barnum renamed this young man General Tom Thumb (Drew Rowley) and took him on tour. Barnum continued his success by bringing Swedish opera star Jenny Lind (Dana Davey) to the United States. The show alludes to a romantic involvement between Ba.mum and Lind. This accents the touching aspect of this story, which is the relationship between Ba.mum and his devoted wife Chairy (Amie Davis MacKensie). The two struggle through the ups and downs of their relationship. This show almost has it all. It has juggling clowns, high-flying acrobatics and well-timed stunts. Most of the performances are fine, and there is enough energy and enthusiasm to carry the majority of the bigger musical numbers. What this show does not have is strong and powerful singing in the two lead roles. Michael Lion is " natural as Ba.mum. His confidence is con-

Coming of age in Ireland As three small-town girls experience big-city college life they're forced to confront their sexuality

- }

Geraldine Haldner The Metropolitan In the aftermath of St. Patrick's Day, a movie showing us th; sober side of dating in Ireland has hit the theaters. Touted as a romantic picture, Circle of Friends has its highlights which sparkle in a predominantly boring, foreseeable plot. Benny·(Minnie Driver), a self-declared wallflowerish "plain Jane," and her two childhood friends travel from their small hometown to Dublin, to study and become part of the social life of their university. The three girls are excited and eager to widen their horizons in every possible way - academically, socially and sexually - and that is where the trouble begins. Ireland in 1957 is a country where sexual represhns :'II '"' sion rules; the Catholic Church wants it that way. Sex is taboo; at best the word is whispered or replaced, according to the occasion in which it's used, with phrases such as "entertained impure thoughts" or "going.all the way.". It is in this kind of climate that the three girls try to find love and relationships - not helped by the IWS you mixed messages from Sunday's church sermon and the 1udience lectures about the sexually free Trobriand Islanders in their anthropology class. musical The down-to-earth Benny flirts her way into the ou)d not heart of big-time rugby star Jack (Chris O'Donnell), I squeak who is fascinated by Benny's readiness to accept her· about it. self for what she is - unlike himself, as he's always e, but it trying to please everybody for the sake of the golden boy image. ~e musiWhile Benny and Jack explore their longing for intimate more in a hesitant way, never losing the sight of true ly Life."

IRISH EYES ARE SMILIN': Bernadette (Minnie Driver), left, Eve (Geraldine O'Rawe) and Nan (Saffron Burrows) share an exciting moment during their big adventure from a small Irish town to big-city college life In Dublin. The screenplay Is based on the best-selling novel by Irish writer Maeve Blnchy, who noticed one particular difference between her .~ovel and the film: "The sex. The film Is much more racy than my somewhat demure novel. Circle of Friends doesn't thrive upon surprise, because there is ·a narrow line between showing the struggle of young people coming of age in a repressed society and exploiting a different moral code as a freak show. Even though director Pat O'Connor is a native Irishman, his movie never really stays on one side of the line without exploiting the not-so-'90s theme of virgins saving themselves for the right one. The role of men in that kind of society is hardly touched - yes, they get drunk and stupid, but in the end that's OK. That is why O'Donnell's performance lacks depth. The only well-known actor to the American audience, he struggles to keep his character from being totally boring, with an Irish accent that fades in the most crucial scenes. The highlights of the movie are frequent but short. Driver gives a performance that is truly unique. She shifts from the "plain Jane" image to a young beautiful woman, glowing from the inside - where true beauty lies - without being disguised by makeup, hairdo or glasses. She is the boring beauty dressed up nerdy who emerges from a "make over" as a stunning woman, and then makes the leading man fall in love with her. Driver is funny and refreshing, giving a performance that stands out. Outstanding also is Alan Cumming who plays Sean, the clerk in Benny's father's tailor store. Far from handsome, this pasty, sickly-looking guy with greasy hair and a gaunt expression tries to make Benny believe that he would actually do her a favor by marrying her as they would subsequently take over the store. The way he moves and speaks gives everybody goosebumps - Benny included. In the end, the young friends are united again, leaving the viewer a little uncertain about how they will deal with their lives. "Sending me to university is like taking me to the top of a mountain and showing me the world," Benny says in a scene with her parents, who half-heartedly object to her wishes to see Jack, "and then marching

me down and saying 'that's what you can't have."' Whatever loose ends Circle of Friends Leaves the viewer with, Benny will stay on top and go her way with a good portion of Irish temperament and optimism.

Tank Girl foil of mindless f on

Kevin Juhasz Senior Staff Writer Although the trailers advise you to lock up your sons, the only thing you really need to lock up for Tank Girl is your brain. This flick definitely won't make the Best Picture list next year, but what it lacks in a message, it makes up for in visual effects and fun.

He is so despicable, you can't help but love him. Kesslee's favorite weapon is a device that when plunged into the body, will draw water from it, which Kesslee then happily drinks. Tank Girl (Lori Petty) starts out as POST-APOCALYPSE VAMP: Lori Petty stars as a feminist hero and Rebecca Buck, one member of a rag-tag spunky terrorist In the title role of Tank Girl.

the worst crime in this post-apocalypse world - stealing water. Water and Power attacks Rebecca's home, killing most of the residents and taking her prisoner. It is in this prison that she meets another woman (Naomi Watts) who repairs jet planes for Water and Power. Rebecca is a fearless woman, and Kesslee, sensing this, would like her to work for him. Rebecca is able to escape when Water and Power is attacked by a group known as The Rippers. It is during this attack that Rebecca and her friend, Jet Girl, steal a tank and a jet plane, thus earning their nicknames. A Ripper is half man and half kangaroo, an abandoned military project that was supposed to be destroyed, but never was.

The Rippers (Ice-T, Jeff Kober, Reg E. Cathey, Scott Coffey, and other:> who were unable to get speaking parts except for an occasional howl) are the highlight of Tank Girl. Each actor does a fantastic job of handling their character, which range from very untrusting to very hip to very desperate for female companionship. Tanlc Girl, Jet Girl, and The Rippers band together to try to bring down Kesslee and Water and Power. Don't expect too much in the way of depth from Tank Girl. It doesn't explore any inner feelings (except for those involving sex), and it doesn't address any of the world's problems. But it is a blast to watch a classic good guys vs. bad guys kind of movie. Tar.ic Giri is also a visual extravaganza. The movie is intertwined with animated drawings based on the comic from which is was created.- They are fun to watch and they break up the movie nicely.

An especially good scene is when Tanlc Girl and Jet Girl rebuild their weapons of choice to suit their personalities. They are very unusual and very interesting. The humor is good, too, especially The Rippers. There were a few stupid jokes that probably should have been left out, but they aren't too annoying. There is also a good amount of sexist jokes, but since Tank Girl is very feminist, a large portion of these are directed at men. Tank Girl's hair has a tendency to change length and style. Not just from scene to scene, but shot to shot. There is no real explanation or.reasoning for this, but it's fun to watch for what will pop up next. The movie's music. coordinated by Courtney LoveCobain, is an additional boost to the flick, providing good background to the numerous scenes of battle. These scenes contain some gore, but nothing that hasn't already been in a million horror movies.

Metro shoots down Cowboys Roadrunners stun Division I ll)loming - win both games of doubleheader Michael BeDan

Sports Editor

The men's baseball team climbed out from behind its wall of mediocrity Wednesday and left the deep impression that this team is for real. The Roadrunners shocked the Wyoming Cowboys 6-4 and 10-4 in consecutive games improving to 15-13 and making a statement to the Mile High Intercollegiate Baseball League. Metto, after absorbing an eight-game losing streak, has won nine of its past 12 games and appears to be ready to make a run at a league title after Wednesday's performance. Pitcher Jason Mayoral said the team is playing its best base~all of the year at the right time but stressed the importance of .winning league games as well as nonleague contests. "We need to win some more league games now to get us into the playoffs," Mayoral said. Mayoral got the save in the first game against Wyoming when be came in and got the final out of the ballgame after Roger Fisher got the first two of the inning. Fisher said he'd have liked to get the last out but was happy Metro won. "I was excited to be there," Fisher said of bis closing effort. "I just tried to throw strikes." The Roadrunners trailed 1-0 after the first inning before scoring six unanswered runs in the next four. It woµld be all Metro needed as ~ey held the Cowboys to three runs for the rest of the game. Pitcher Zenon Gonzalez got the win for the Roadrunners, improving his record to 2-2 on the season. Metro batted .375 on 9-24 hitting while holding Wyoming to a paltry .222 on 6-27 from the plate. Game two proved to be a thriller as Metro trailed for the first four innings and starting pitcher Geoff Abbey gave up a second inning home run. "I was struggling at first and (pitching coach Joel Forrest) got in my face and told me to toughen up," Abbey said. Abbey toughened and went the distance allowing four runs on 11 hits.

As Abbey found his range, the Roadrunner bats began to blister, scoring 10 runs in three innings including six in the fifth. Metro Coach Vince Porreco said it was good to see his team hitting so well against such a tough opponent. "We finally got into their starter who had been throwing a good game," Porreco said. "We bad one through nine swinging the bat well today. It was also a big win for me because Wyoming is my alma matter. I played and coached there." "The Man" in this game, however, was catcher Pat Maxwell who hit home runs in consecutive at-bats in the fourth and fifth innings. Maxwell drilled a solo shot to right field in •.he fourth, scoring Metro's first run . Then, in the fifth, he smashed the pill to left field for a three-run homer that put the Roadrunners up 7-3. It was ail Metro needed. Maxwell went on-for-four in the first game and said he changed his strategy in game two. "In the first game, they got me on curve balls, so I decided to lay off the curve ball in the second," Maxwell said. "In two of my at-bats they gave me the pitch I could get my hands threw the zone and jack." Metro added three runs in the sixth and Abbey closed out the game with' a strikeout. Abbey said the wins put the Roadrunners in the perfect position to succeed for the rest of the season. "It's a big deal," Abbey said. "I think it's a bigger deal than anyone realizes right now. We thought of Civision I schools as being guys who mash the ball over the fence on every hit. It feels good to beat them." Metro had 11 bits in 30 at-bats for a .366 average. Pitcher and infielder Matt Torrez said the offense can continue if players stay confident. "A lot of the young guys see that we can play good now," Torrez said. "We can do it all the time." The Roadrunners embark on a fourgame road trip this weekend against MHIBL's second ranked Fort Hays State. Fort Hays is 7-1 while Metro is in fourth place with an 8-4 league record.

"Fort Hays is going to be tough, but we've shown that we can play well on the road." Metro returns to Auraria Field on Tuesday to take on Regis University. The game starts at 3 p.m.

Metro stomps Northeastern - nets three singles champs at Mesa tourney Michael BeDan Sports Editor

The women' s tennis team, sporting a collection of six strong players, continued to make its journey toward a Colorado Athletic Conference title by spanking Northeastern Junior College 70 at Auraria Courts. Metro, led by senior Rosemary Aiello, didn' t drop a set in seven matches and lost just 10 games in the dual match. Metro Coach Bryan Bryant said he was happy with the win and pointed to the Roadrunners' loss to the University of Southern Colorado March 16 as the turning point for his squad. "I think they are a little more serious about it now," Bryant said. Metro dropped that match in lackadaisical form and Bryant made them pay by running harder practices and making his team run. "Tennis is an up and down thing," Bryant said. "They just have to stay focused and I think they are more focused now." The Roadrunners were sharp from top to bottom on Tuesday. Aiello beat Kellie McBride 6-1, 6-2 in just under an hour in the No. l singles match and it just got better for Metro.

At No. 2 singles, Stephanie walker disposed of Tiffany Ballard 6-0, 6-1 and Danielle Nelson and Katie Horvat won at No. 3 and 4 with identical 6-0, 6-0 scores. Aiello said it took her a set to warm up, but that the team is responding as

the season progresses. "We are getting better heading into conference," Aiello said. Northeastern defaulted at No. 5 and 6 singles and at No. 3 doubles. Aiello and Walker teamed to beat McBride and Ballard 8-4 in the No. 1 doubles match, and Nelson and Petra Scholz beat Kerry Jo Dykton and Brandi Unrein 8-2. The women traveled to the Mesa State Tournament on March 31 and placed third bUJ got stellar play from

Aiello, Walker and Horvat, all of whom took first place in their respective singles positions. Aiello beat Jill Cole in the final 63, 6-4 and said she's never played so well in winning the No. 1 singles title. "I have to admit that was probably the best tennis I've ever played in my career," Aiello said. "I went on the court calm, loose and relaxed. I didn't get upset with mistakes." Walker won the No. 2 singles title but had a bit more difficulty, playing two three-set matches to win the title. She won 4-6, 7-6, 6-4 in the semi' s and 2-6, 6-0, 7-6 (7-5) in the final. "I had really close matches," Walker said. "I couldn ' t hit my backhand so I sliced everything. I was physically tired in the final , but I pulled it out." Horvat beat Jessica Hurst of Mesa in the No. 5 singles final 6-1, 6-l. Bryant said he was pleased with his team ' s play but was disappointed that they didn' t win the whole tournament. "Rosemary played the best I've ever seen her play since I've known her," Bryant said. "She was awesome. I thought we could have won the tournament though." The women take on Regis at the Auraria Courts on Tuesday. The first ball will be served at 2 p.m.

NOW THAT'S CONCENTRATION: Stephanie Walker knocks off a forehand volley against Northeastern Junior College on Tuesday.

Struggling men's tennis team wins for second time Michael BeDan Sports Editor The men's tennis team welcomed the undermanned squad of Northeastern Junior College to Denver on Tuesday and proceeded to whip them 6-1, winning for.just the second time this season. While two of the six wins were defaults due to lack of players, the Roadrunners were solid in singles and didn't lose a doubles match. "We played all right," Coach Bryan Bryant said. "We expected to win this one and in the long run, that's all that matters." Buu Le and Bret Walker got the ball rolling for Metro with an 8-3 doubles victory over Deron Feather and Bud Brown in the opening match. Steve Barlock and C .J.

Arellano took the second doubles match for the Roadrunners, beating Tonie Ertle and Chris Roth 8-3. Metro handled Northeastern in all but one singles match, a 6-4, 4-6, 3-6 loss for Roadrunner Steve Barlock at No. 2 singles. Le beat Feather 6-4, 6-1 giving Metro the win at the No. 1 slot. 'The team is coming together," Le said after the match. "Up and down the ladder we are getting comfortable with our positions." Northeastern forfeited the No. 5 and No. 6 singles matches leaving Walker and Ed Koss at No. 3 and 4 as the remaining matches. Both were victorious, rounding out the dual match win for the Roadrunners. Walker beat Ertle 6-1, 6-4 and Koss bageled Roth 60, 6-0. Walker said he sees marked improve-

ment on the team and is excited for the future. "We are a real young team and next year we can be very strong," Walker said. Monday, the Roadrunners traveled to Colorado School of Mines where they lost 61 with the lone point coming from Arellano who served up a 6-4, 7-5 victory over Brian Arbuckle. Arellano and doubles partner Ed Koss won against Arbuckle and Justin Coppin 8-4. But NCAA rules award one point to the team that wins two of three doubles matches and Mines took the No. 1 and 2 doubles matches 8-1 and 8-3, canceling out the Metro win at the No. 3 spot. Metro' s youth was never more apparent than in the Mesa State Tournament March 31 in Grand Junction. Arellano was the only Roadrunner not to be excused from play in

the first round. Arellano won his first round match 7-5, 3-6, 7-6 (7-4) only to be handed a 6-4, 6-1 defeat in the second round. Bryant said his team had difficulty adjusting to the low altitude in Grand Junction. "The ball really sat up," Bryant said. "You couldn't smack winners because the ball plays heavy downthere." Metro took on Mesa State in a dual match the next day and Jost 6-1, getting a single victory by default. 'This is a learning year and a building year," Bryant said. 'They just have to go out there and do the best they can." The men host the Colorado Collegiate Tournament all day today and tomorrow at the Auraria Courts.
