Metro, Auraria debate AMC deal Metro President Sheila Kaplan says public should have time to examine lease Chistopher Anderson The Metropolitan

--

-

Metro President Sheila Kaplan blasted Auraria's proposed deal with AMC Theaters, saying critical financial questions remain unanswered and that the public needs a chance to scrutinize the content At an April 7 meeting of the Auraria Board, Kaplan said approving a proposed lease with AMC would trade valuable academic space for commercial use, which could never be recovered for educational purposes.

"There are serious risks associated with the proposed AMC expansion deal as we currently understand it," Kaplan said.

"And please note that neither I nor any member of my staff have seen any of the final documentation on this very complex arrangement."

The nine Auraria Board members are scheduled to vote on the lease Monday.

According to a lease summary, a $3.5 million freestanding building would be built on the site of Auraria's tennis courts to house an additional 12 AMC Theaters.

JoAnn Soker, executive vice president of administration to Auraria, said AMC would leave the Tivoli when its current lease ends in 2000 if Auraria doesn't approve the new lease soon.

Soker said the loss of AMC would ultimately drive up student fees.

The vote was scheduled for last Monday, but it was delayed to hear Metro's alternate proposal for use of the space.

The only voting board members in attendance at the April 7 meeting were Metro representatives Cole Finegan, Bill Fulkerson and UCD representative Susan Kirk.

The three members listened to a debate between Soker and Kaplan, who do not have a vote on the Auraria Board.

Soker said that if the Tivoli businesses lose money and move out as a result, student fees would be increased to compensate for the loss of revenue. A portion of rent from the Tivoli shop owners pays back the bond that funded the renovation

- Sheila Kaplan Metro President and acquisition of the Tivoli. Soker said AMC draws non-student crowds on weekends, evenings and school breaks - the times few students are on campus.

"So what we are talking about is how much student fees would be raised or not raised," Soker said.

Kaplan saw a different _issue.

-JoAnn Soker, ex e vice president of administration to Aurada ·:;~ should remain essentially an educational center or whether we should become a retail/entertainment complex serving the general public and competing with the private sector."

Kaplan said the Tivoli as a commercial enterprise has continued to struggle, citing that this year the project·generated a $1 million deficit and is expected to lose another $750,000 next year.

Soker said some of that loss is from lower enrollment and there might be a revenue shortfall next year, but she said it would be more if the AMC deal isn't approved.

Kaplan criticized the board for not having enough information about the deal.

Among other complaints, Kaplan said the board failed to get more than one appraisal of the land occupied by the tennis courts or have a final plan for their replacement. Kaplan also said the board has failed to ensure that the Auraria Foundation, a third party that is expected to fund the construction of the AMC building, will give profits to the student facilities bond, as proposed in the lease summary.

Soker, who also is an Auraria Foundation Board member, said that she will ask the foundation to adopt such a resolution.

Although Soker said there have been no design plans, AMC has agreed to finance the replacement of the tennis courts. Soker said enough money would also be available to improve the playing fields, which would have to be redesigned to accommodate new tennis courts.

Soker also said the Auraria Foundation has not yet found a lender for the construction.

Kaplan said the board has not considered other alternatives, and proposed converting the space currently occupied by AMC into offices for Metro. Kaplan said she expects the rent at the Terracentre, which is on the north side of Speer Boulevard and houses some Metro offices, to rise within the next five years.

She said having offices at the Tivoli would prevent people from having to cross Speer Boulevard.

Soker said it would cost too much to renovate theaters into offices, and academic functions would not generate the same income and inflow of public as AMC. Some Tivoli shop owners, who fear that the loss of AMC would hurt their business, spoke in favor of Auraria's lease

,. Faculty Senate OKs new grading system Jesse Stephenson Senior Staff Writer A change to Metro's grading policy was approved by the Faculty Senate March 29; the senate voted yes on plus/minus grading.

Within two years, plus/minus notation may be used on student transcripts.

Elizabeth Friot, spokeswoman for the Academic Policies Committee, said plus/minus grading is a nationally accepted procedure. The committee brought the grading proposal to the senate.

"The majority of colleges in the United States do have plus minus grading," she said.

Usage of the plus/minus system will increase grading accuracy in addition to facilitating transfer students from colleges that implement the notation, Friot said.

The new policy will also reduce incidents of inflated and deflated grades.

Without pluses and minuses, professors are faced with the decision of raising or lowering a letter grade in borderline cases, she said. For example, under the current system a student who receives a

69 percent in a class receives either a D or a C at the discretion of the professor.

Under the new system, professors can accurately represent the student's grade as aD+.

While the notation may improve accuracy, some students are concerned about the policy.

Mark Ramsey, a political science major who said he strives to earn straight As, is worried that an A- won't look as respectable on his transcript.

"That would count against me," be said. "It would kind of devalue my degree

... an A- implies a lower grade."

If approved by Metro administrators and President Shiela Kaplan, the change in grading policy will be implemented when a new computer system in the Admissions and Records Department is installed. The installation isn't likely to occur before fall of 1997, Friot said.

Although it's possible to implement the new grading system on the current computer system, Friot said it would take an estimated 40 days of reprogramming to allow plus/minus notation on student transcripts.

Metro backs history prof in dispute College finds no evidence of wrongdoing in investigation of student's allegations Kevin Juhasz Senior Staff Writer Metro is backing History Professor Thomas Altherr in his dispute with a student who claims he condoned and joined in creating an atmosphere in class that she said "was very ugly - racist."

In a letter to Metro sophomore Lily Boyce on Monday, Jerry H. Wilson, interim dean of the School of Letters, Arts, and Sciences, summed up the investigation: "In conclusion, I find no evidence that Dr. Thomas Altherr selected or presented unfair, biased, or discriminatory material in his course."

Wilson also wrote to Boyce that he was unable to substantiate her complaint against Altherr.

At an informal grievance hearing held March l, Boyce presented a IO-page letter that accused Altherr of being racist, discouraging her from disagreeing with points brought up in class, and unfairly portraying Native Americans.

An investigation into the claims was conducted by Dr. Jeremiah Ring, interim chair of the History Department; Dr. James Dixon, associate dean of LAS; and

Dr. Tony Montoya, who is the assistant Altherr's conduct in the class was appropriate. to the dean of LAS. They examined Altherr's written "I found that Professor Altherr conresponse to Boyce's allegations, a tape of ducted the class in a very professional the third meeting of the class, course and orderly manner," Ring wrote. materials, student In the opening evaluations of paragraph of his Altherr, and the proresponse to the fessor's background allegations, Altherr not really hombly in teaching and writes: "All of '$urpr&ed by what hapresearch. these charges are pened either, because Wilson would patently false. ,,the tone of this whole not comment on the Virtually each sen~1mcldenf has been-very investigation except tence contains an to say he stood by error of fact or disheartening to say the the contents of the lealf.,, interpretation; juxletter to Boyce. taposed sentences He did say that create false impresinvestigations into sions; and the -UlyBoyce errors of omission class materials and Altherr's backMetro sophomore are equally glaring." ground found no %: problems.

Altherr said that Boyce responded to those claims by neither he nor any aspect of the course is saying, "If his credentials are so great, racist. Altherr said that he did not dismiss why haven't they been brought out?"

Boyce's opinions, but that time pressures Dixon, Montoya, and Ring reviewed forced him to move on to the next point the tape of the third class, which was in class.

In response to Boyce's claim that submitted by a student. All three said

Altherr made a racist statement at the end of the first class that left her shocked and disrupted her weekend, Altherr wrote, "I'm sorry that the student left feeling the way she did, but I personally said nor did anything to cause her to harbor those attitudes."

In an interview, Ring said, "I was frankly surprised when the allegations were made because I've known Tom Altherr for 15 years, and I've never seen any evidence of any kind of racism or insensitivity that I was aware of from (him)."

Boyce said the response was a huge disappointment.

"I'm not really horribly surprised by what happened either, because the tone of this whole incident has been very disheartening to say the least," she said.

She added that she had hoped something good would come out of the incident.

Boyce said she will take the next step the college requires, but hoped to be able to seek a solution outside of the college. She has not decided what that will be and is still looking at her options.

Finegan said it was important to ask questions but after a certain point they become destructive and told Kaplan "let's end the game."

Kaplan responded that all she has been asking for is the final lease agreement and its related documents so they

could be analyzed.

Just before the meeting ended, Paul Epstein, owner of the Tivoli store Twist and Shout, stood up from his seat and said in a loud voice: 'This is not a game to us.

We are real people who have invested real money." Epstein said he chose the Tivoli site for his business in part because of AMC. Kersten Hostetter, Auraria's only student representative on the board and a non-voting member, said that even though student fees would be raised, killing the AMC deal is necessary "to save the Tivoli from being taken over commercially."

The Auraria Board has kept most dis-

cussion of the AMC deal from public view.

The board held a February 28 meeting that excluded the public and was subsequently declared illegal by the attorney general's office. Much of the details of the lease were discussed at that meeting.

After the meeting was declared open by the attorney general's office, Soker refused to disclose public documents or provide minutes. In response to an open records request by The Metropolitan, Soker released some documents but not the minutes. An Oct. 26, 1994 meeting in which formation of the AMC deal was discussed also was closed to the public.

$3,500 missing from ...__....debit card machines Becky O'Guin

Staff Writer Once again, thousands of dollars have disappeared from Auraria parking debit-card machines without a sign of forced entry.

In two of the four reported incidents, an estimated $3,500 was taken.

According to Auraria Public Safety reports, two of the machines were opened with a key.

Detective Jerry Miller said the machines also could have been opened with a pick that can be easily ordered from magazines such as Soldier of Fortunp; Surveillance equipment was placed near machines after the first burglary. In a February 22 burglary, two men were seen opening the machine in the Parking Transportation Center and taking money out of it.

The debit-card machine was dusted for fingerprints, but an identification was not made.

Police were unable to identify the suspects from the videotape, according to the APS report.

Dean Wolf, Auraria vice president of operations, said that locks on the cash boxes of the debit-card machines were changed immediately after the burglaries and better locks were ordered.

Miller said the suspects could possibly be The Metropolitar¥Jenny Sparks linked to a man charged with the burglary of EYE ON YOU: Metro student Al Lung recharges his debit card arcades on the CU-Boulder campus. He also said at the Parking Transportation Center. Surveillance cameras the man arrested in Boulder had in his possession were installed to prevent further thefts. a key to SiGi's Arcade at the Tivoli Student

Union, but ebarges were not filed due to lack of evidence.

Since the investigation is still ongoing, Auraria employees have been told not to discuss the burglaries.

JoAnn Soker, Auraria executive vice president for administration, would not comment.

Following comments she made to the press, Soker was personally named in a lawsuit filed by Nancy Evans, a former employee who was fired in the last episode of missing parking funds.

Debit-card revenue missing from 1991 to 1993 was $133,634.

No link has been established between the current and past burglaries according to Miller, but he said that anything is possible.

But John Mosby, the attorney for Evans, is not so convinced.

"It stopped for awhile after certain people kind of like left, and then once they saw all this die down, it started up again, which is real weird," Mosby said.

Debit cards can be purchased for $1 at the PTC. Value is added to the card by using the debit-card machine in the PTC, since the two other machines in the North Classroom Building and the Tivoli are presently inoperative.

This card can be used to pay for parking at lots equipped with debit-card terminals.

PARALEGAL INSTEAD OF LAW SCHOOL

pproved

The four finalists for the position of director of Auraria Public Safety have been chosen and were introduced at receptions in the Tivoli Student Union this week.

Gary Kasson, the acting director of APS, is one of the finalists that were chosen over I00 other applicants for the position. Kasson has his bachelor's degree from Sterling College, and is enrolled in the Master's Program for Public Administration at UCD. "If I'm selected, great," Kasson said.

"If not. life will go on."

At his reception Tuesday, Kasson said that Auraria tenants tend to contact Denver Polke for crime prevention, and that he would like to see APS pick up more of that role. . "I mean, most people don't even know that we're here through the night," he said.

Steven Bennett. director of public safety at Montgomery County Community College in New Jersey is another finalist. Bennett is a selfdescribed team player who said that law enforcement has been a lifetime commitment.

"In this service-oriented environ-

. ..

ment, students are the primary customers," Bennett said at his Tuesday reception. "Service isn't something you can send ahead and get an opinion on."

He said that his is an open-door policy, and that those who work under him are encouraged to be more "user-friendly." " If you have a positive attitude, everyone else around you will have a positive attitude," he said.

Also on the list is Debra Gomez, directhr of Safety and Facility at Arapahoe Community College in Littleton, where she has been for the last five years. She earned a bachelor's degree from Regis College and is also enrolled in the Master's Program for Public Administration at UCD. At her reception, Gomez said that "community policing" is a responsibility that needs to be shared by all the students and faculty on the campus.

'The role of Public Safety has to be to help you be responsible for your own safety," she said.

Joseph Ortiz is also on the list. A retired division chief from five different di visions in the Denver Police Department, he served for over 25 years.

In addition, he served in the U.S. Army Reserves as an intelligence analyst for 20 years. His reception was held Thursday.

John has only Mary Magdelene discovering the Old hang gliders used to have something called the "Jesus bolt." This was a simple piece of hardware that stone removed and alerting two disciples, who race to attachea to the control bar and ultimately kept the whole the tomb and find it empty.

The accounts of Jesus reappearing to the disciples apart, crashes and burns. In 1 Corinthians 15:17, Paul says, "If Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile are equally troubling. Mark doesn't have one. (Not in my Revised Standard Version, at least.) Matthew has Jesus and you are still in your sins."

The question is: did it really happen?

No life in Kiss of Death Kevin Juhasz Senior Staff Writer Pucker up and prepare for the completely disappointing Kiss of Death , a movie· that fails to deliver the thrills its talent would seem to promise.

Jimmy Kilmartin (David Caruso) is an ex-con who desP.erately wants a life of normality after serving time for auto theft. His goal is side tracked, however, when a friend , Ronnie (Michael Rapaport), seeks his help in delivering stolen cars. Kilmartin is caught and sent back to prison.

While serving his time, Kilmartin's wife (Helen Hunt) becomes intoxicated one day and falls asleep at Ronnie's house. She awakens the next day, an·d in a rush to get her and Kilmartin' s daughter from the babysitter, is killed in a car accident. Kilmartin gives information on a theft ring Ronnie was part of to the district attorney to get his revenge on Ronnie.

The DA then threatens to te11 the mobsters that it was Kilmartin who squealed, to coerce him into penetrating an auto-theft ring and bringing .down its leader, Little Junior Brown (Nicolas Cage).

Kilmartin must now cope with protecting his daughter and his new wife, Rosie (Kathryn Erbe).

Rosie is the former babysitter; She brought Kilmartin's child to see him in prison after his previous wife died.

The film's downfall comes in some unbelievable and lackluster performances by the actors.

Caruso has some good moments as Kilmartin, but is entirely too nervous around Cage and his cohorts. He almost blows his cover during their fi(st meeting. This group of criminals, who have lived their life avoiding getting caught, are unable to detect his obvious nervousness.

It took just hours for Brown to put trust in Kilmartin and begin to tell him personal things.

Highly improbable for a guy who spent most of the movie being completely untrusting.

Kiss of Death Directed by

Barbet Schroeder ·r

Starring

-1F

David Caruso Nicolas Cage Samuel L. Jackson

;, I SMELL STOOL PIGEON!: Little Junior Brown (Nicolas Cage) gets in Jimmy Kilmartin's (David Caruso) face after Jimmy asks him one too many questions.

Cage, who obviously has been spending a lot of time in the weight room, does a great job of portraying his character when Brown is angry and looking to kick some ass. He comes across as very tough and very crazy with no feelings for anyone who does him wrong.

It's the parts where Cage tries to be deep and meaningful that he falters. The moments are almost comical, as if he is doing a parody of his character.

Director Barbet Schroeder, who also directed Single White Female and Reversal of Fortune, also fails to utilize the talents of Samuel L .

Jackson . Jackson plays Calvin, a detective who was shot in the face during Kilmartin' s arrest at

the beginning of the flick. Calvin requests to be the detective in charge of Kilmartin while he infiltrates the theft ring.

Jackson's performance is almost completely flat. It lacks the hard edge and excitement that Jackson has done so well in previous roles.

This may not be the fault of Schroeder. It could be the next phase of a curse that seems to be forming. This is the second time that Cage and Jackson have been in the same movie, the first being Amos N ' Andrew, and the second time the movie has been a disappointment. This is , of course, just a theory, but studio execs may be wise to keep the two apart in the future.

Overall, the movie is a bust. It's sad to see such a group of brilliant actors and a good director come together and produce a movie that doesn ' t have all the thrills and excitement that should have been there.

A far cry from the rattly films seen in grade school about America's first national park, Ye llowstone takes viewers on a sometimes dizzying journey through the history of the park and its geological significance.

Playing April 14 through Nov. 9 at Denver' s IMAX theatre, those who choose to fork over five bucks won't be disappointed by this pseudo-documentary.

Throughout the film, glances are given of Yellowstone' s history from various perspectives and narratives, like the first Indians to roam the 'territor, and the first fur trappers who explored the region in the late 1800s, deeming it "uninhabitable."

"Jenny likes camping and I like Jenny," says one young scientist who brings along his girlfriend in hot pants to study geysers with him.

Of course, this IMAX film is not over without a healthy amount of panoramic vistas and hawk ' s-eye views that display the raw natural beaut)!- of Yellowstone. The strength·

of IMAX' s gargantuan screen rea11y comes into play with swooping views of the various rivers , waterfa11s and snow-covered peaks of the Grand Tetons in this 2.2-million-acre park.

Unfortunately, the camera does not then zoom i n on a skier at Jackson Hole and turn the rest of this flick into a Warren Miller "snow thri1ls" IMAX-style. Instead, it turn s hardcore scientific, showing massive computer graph!cs . . Qf, ., how.. .

OK, I suppose we can' t expect to have that much fun at the museum, but one can ' t help but become entranced by some of the shots that, with some superb cinematography, literally make your stomach drop to your feet.

so comes to an abrupt end, but the film is very informative. The history and geology of the park are presented in a clear manner. This would probably be a good one to take your kids to. It might take their minds off the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and get them interested in calde ras, geot-

hermal energy and even rhyolite.

For those who cringe at the sound of such scientific so_undin_g words or if you hate PBS, give this one a skip. But st.ay posted for a review about glam-rock bands and their recent bouts with jaundice, Yellowstoners.

The Rites 0 Fallowing a late spring storm on a peaceful splendid Wednesday afternoon, about 200 Auraria Students enjoyed Asian Cultures at the Asian Spring Festival in the Tivoli Student Union.

"The purpose (of the festival) is to introduce Asian Cultures to students on Auraria campus," said Norio Kadowaki, president of the Metro Exotic Japan Club, one of the Asian clubs on campus.

Kadowaki also said he wants this festival to be a bridge between American students and Asian students so that American students can understand and get rid of stereotypes or misunderstandings about Asian culture.

The festival was divided into two parts. During the day, there were several activities, such as origami (Japanese paper craft), en-nichi (Japanese festivals, usually held at temples or shrines, where people play games and win awards) and even acupuncture.

On the stage, three groups performed

martial arts: Japanese aikido, Chinese kung fu and Korean tai kwon do. People were attracted to the fast and strained movements of these performers and applauded loudly after each performance.

"I think it's pretty exciting and a wonderful idea," said Patti Lohman, Metro's English as a Second Language coordinator and immigration advisor. "The whole campus can come and experience a lot of the Asian culture and know that there is not just one Asian group."

In the evening, the festival started with Polynesian hula dancing and Hawaiian music. The music .and dance made the audience feel as if they were in the everlasting summer islands. Then the fast and strong rhythm of Japanese drums left the audience overwhelmed.

As the sun went down, the beautifully pleasant tone of an Indonesian gamelan orchestra, the last performance of the day, echoed in the room, and Auraria's first Asian Spring Festival was over.

A TEDIOUS CRAFT: Above, CCD student Wei Wang, from Taiwan, crafts an origai Asian Spring Festival. Origami is a traditional Japanese paper craft, in which pap to form different shapes.

Women net rewards of hard work Team comes to life as tennis coach runs tougher practices and teaches discipline, Roadrunners on three-match winnings streak and head for conference showdown Michael BeDan Sports Editor The Colorado Collegiate Tournament was canceled for the women's tennis team, but it didn't stop the women from playing two dual matches and winning them both to improve to 7-l on the season.

Metro beat Eastern New Mexico University 4-3 on April 7 and handled Mesa State 5-2 April 8. The always stoic Bryan Bryant, Metro's tennis coach, said he expected his women to win both matches and didn 't elaborate the point much.

"What can you say when you win," Bryant said. "A win is a win."

Metro kept alive its hope for a Colorado Athletic Conference title with the wins, improving to 3-1 in the CAC with five CAC matches remaining.

The Roadrunners slipped by ENMU when No. 2 singles player Stephanie Walker broke the 3-3 tie by defeating Junne Pendon 3-6, 6-3, 6-2. She said she didn't know her match was the deciding factor for the win.

"It was a good match," Walker said.

"I'm glad coach didn't tell me it was the deciding match. It feels good to win it. I haven't done that since high school."

Walker teamed with No. 1 singles player Rosemary Aiello to win at the top doubles spot 8-5 over Alejandra Miralles and Pendon 8-5. Metro lost the No. 1 singles match when Miralles beat Aiello 6-1, 6-1, handing Aiello her second loss of the season. She is 8-2 in singles competition.

Petra Scholz lost at the No. 3 singles position when Aimee Tarango served up a 6-2, 6-3 win for ENMU. "The team is doing great," Scholz said. "I think I'm having a slump. and we haven't been able to practice much with the weather being bad."

Metro lost the doubles point when Scholz and Danielle Nelson lost to A.

Tarango and Cheryl Pierce 8-4 at No. 2, and Katie Horvat and Lena Capra were beaten by Sonja Chavez and Melissa Tarango 8-5.

Nelson and Horvat made up for the doubles loss with wins at No. 4 and 5 singles. Nelson beat Chavez 6-2, 6-2 while Horvat handled Pierce 7-6, (8-6), 7-5.

Horvat is the only undefeated Roadrunner. She stands at 9-0 and has yet to drop a set in singles this season. _ "I'm playing good, but I can still play better," Horvat said. "I'm progressing and working on my net game."

Capra beat M. Tarango 6-1, 6-2 setting the stage for Walker to earn the final match in Metro's 4-3 victory.

The Roadrunners won four singles matches and took the doubles point against Mesa State to earn the 5-2 win April 8.

Aiello beat Jill Cole 7-5, 6-4 while Walker and Scholz were beaten at No. 2 and 3. Walker dropped a 6-3, 6-2 decision to Brenda Young, and Scholz lost to Amy Aragon 6-4, 6-3.

No. 4 through 6 all won for Metro.

Nelson handled Jenee Nagy 3-6, 6-4, 6-2 at No. 4 and Horvat beat Jessica Hurst 63, 6-4 at No. 5. At No. 6, Capra disposed of Daisy Stenhope 6-2, 6-3, rounding out the singles.

Aiello and Walker lost 8-6 at No. I doubles to Cole and young, but No. 2 and 3 pulled out the doubles win for the Roadrunners.

Scholz and Nelson beat Aragon and Nagy 8-4 and Horvat and Capra teamed to beat Hurst and Stenbope 8-6.

Metro gets its second big test of the season on Saturday. The Roadrunners take on the Air Force Falcons at 10 a.m. in a match that should tell a lot about this team and its chances for a CAC title.

Bryant guaranteed his team would win the match.

"Shoot, we're gonna smoke them ," said a confident Bryant.

Baseball team drops four straight at Fort Hays Men fall to 15-17 - lose two doubleheaders to second place-team in the league and slip to fifth Michael BeDan Sports Editor When the Metro baseball team defeated Wyoming twice April 5, the Roadrunners looked like a team to be reckoned with in the Mile High Intercollegiate baseball league. While Metro may still make the MHIBL playoffs, the teams to be reckoned with are Fort Hays State and the University of Southern Colorado.

The Roadrunners were swept four

games to none by Fort Hays over tl)e weekend losing 12-1 and 9-5 on Saturday and 6-3 and 14-6 on Sunday .falling to 1517 and to fifth place in the MHIBL. "Fort Hays has one of the best pitching staffs in the league," Metro coach Vince Porreco saiÂŁ "Pitching was key for us this weekend. We didn't have the pitching we had against Wyoming."

Metro pitchers gave up an average of 12.75 hits per game in the series while the Roadrunner bats .could muster just six per outing.

"We weren't patient and their pitching staff was throwing all their pitches for strikes," Porreco said. "We were hoping to go in there and split. No one thought we'd go and lose four games."

In game one Saturday, Metro took a 1-0 lead into the fourth inning and things looked pretty good considering Fort Hays is second in the MHIBL. The flood gates opened in the fourth inning as the Tigers scored four runs and would add eight more in the last two innings for a 12-1 win.

Game two saw Fort Hays jump out to a 4-0 lead before the Roadrunners managed to score and the Tigers scored nine runs including a solo home run in the third inning, and two-run shots in the fifth and sixth. Fort Hays took the 9-5 victory for a 2-0 lead going into Sunday.

Metro's luck seemed to be changing as they led 3-2 in the bottom of the fifth inning. The Tigers blasted the Roadrunners for four runs to take a 6-3

Men host tourney

place seventh

Roadrunners score seven points in Colorado Collegiate Tournament finish second to last Michael BeDan Sports Editor The men ' s tennis team hosted the Colorado Collegiate Tournament last weekend only to be treated like visitors by the seven schools that showed up to take part. New Mexico Military Institute stole the show, winning every match it played and outclassing the rest of the field.

NMMI won titles at every position and ran away from the pack with 8 I points out of a possible 8 I .

Nebraska-Kearney finished second with 45 points.

Metro posted just seven points (good for seventh place) in the event and advanced only two players past the first round. C.J. Arellano won his first round match at No. 5 singles 75, 6-4 over Colorado School of Mines, securing a spot in the quarterfinals against NMMI. Arellano was promptly dismissed 6-1, 6-1. Ed Koss advanced to the quarters for Metro with a 6-2, 6-0 win over Colorado Christian before falling to NebraskaKearney 6-0, 6-0.

The rest of the Roadrunners lost in the first round, and all but No. 3 singles player Bret Walker lost in the first round of consolation as well.

Walker made it to the consolation bracket final after a come-frombehind victory over Mines in the consolation semifinals. Walker trailed 52 in the first set when he took his game to a new level and fought back to win the set 7-6, (7-3). " After it was 5-2, I was just unconscious," Walker said. "I picked it up two or three levels."

Walker lost the second set 6-4 before closing it out in the third 6- 1.

"I played pretty well that day, but I was pretty tired," Walker said.

Arellano was Metro's other best hope for a title, but drawing the eventual champion in the quarterfinals is not an easy obstacle to overcome. ''If my serve was on, I pro.bably would have done better," Arellano said of the 6- I, 6- l loss. "It was a groundstroke game, and when ·you play against a wall it's tough."

The remainder of the Roadrunners were beaten in the first round of the main draw and the consolation bracket.

No. 1 singles player Buu Le lost 6-1, 6-4 to Nebraska-Kearney and 63, 6-4 to Colorado College in consolation. Steve Barlock managed just three games in two matches at No. 2 singles, dropping a 6-2, 6-0 decision to Nebraska-Kearney and lost 6-1, 6-

0 to the Universi ty of Northern Colorado. · Sam Toubia's nagging shoulder injury forced him to withdraw from the tourney at No. 4 after losing the first set of his first match 6-0. Ed Koss was beaten by NebraskaKearney in the quarterfinals 6-0, 6-0 at No. 6 and filling out the draw for Metro as a second No. 6 singles player due to the withdrawal of Colorado College's No. 6, Ben Pongpitoon lost 6-0, 6-0 in the first round to Nebraska-Kearney and dropped a 76, (7-3), 6-0 match to Colorado Christian.

Metro's doubles teams were all knocked out of the tournament in the first round. The Roadrunners' No. t" team of Lee .and Walker lost 9-7 to Mines while Pongpitoon and Barlock were beaten 8-0 by NMMI at No. 2.

Arellano and Koss were beaten 8-4 byUNC. The men stand at 2-6 overall with a 1-2 record in the Colorado Athletic Conference. The men close out their home schedule with matches next week.

lead that would prove to be the final margin of victory for Fort Hays.

In the second game the Tigers built an insurmountable 8-2 lead going into the sixth inning. Metro rallied ·to score three but would not cross the plate again, dropping its fourth straight game to Fort Hays. In one of few bright spots for the Roadrunners , outfielder Jason Riley hit a three-run homer in the sixth inning in game two Saturday giving him four for the year. Riley said he was surprised Metro didn' t perform in the big series.

"I didn't know how good they were," Riley said. 'They hit the ball pretty well."

Another Metro outfielder, Thom Hartman, hit his first three home runs of the season, including two in game two on Sunday. The Roadrunners have hit 20 home runs this season and have allowed opponents to crank 35.

Metro shortstop Tracy Archuleta said the team never got the bats rolling in the Fort Hays series.

"We were expecting to do a lot better after the Wyoming series," Archuleta said. "But they came out and beat us.

They were a good team and we just didn' t come to play."

The Roadrunners have eight MHIBL games remaining and currently stand at 812 and in fifth place. To make the postseason tournament they must overcome Nebraska-Kearney in fourth place with an 8-8 record. Metro is 3-1 against Nebraska- Kearney this season but will not face them again.
