Violence fmds its way to campus

,

Becky O'Guin Senior.Staff Writer

l

Joel Baertlein, wasn't having a particularly good day as he left the North Classroom April 19 around 9:00 p.m.

While heading toward the light rail station, his day got worse.

As he passed the South Classroom on 10th Street, three Hispanic males approached him, he said. One of them then placed a gun to the back of his head and demanded his money.

After taking $15 from Baertlein, they took off running.

"I think they would have pulled the trigger, I don't know that they know the implications of pulling the trigger," Baertlein said. "They looked fearless."

Baertlein described two of the suspects as being young, around 15 or 16 years old.

This is one of several incidents involving a handgun and a juvenile that occurred on campus this semester.

On March 16, Lisa Olson was getting

out of her car in Lot R around 9:00 a.m. when four youths approached her. One of them, a girl, pulled a gun and told Olson to give her the keys. Olson gave the girl the keys and walked away from the car.

Fifteen-year-old Eddie Morales was leaving the AMC Theaters March 5 with his grandmother when two youths pulled a gun and threatened them.

"I do think juveniles are more inclined to carry a gun than an adult," said Robert Garcia, the Denver police detective who handled the carjacking.

Karen Steinhauser, Chief Deputy District Attorney for the Denver Juvenile, division said that when she first started in juvenile 12 years ago they never had a case involving a juvenile and a handgun.

She said the incidence of juveniles using handguns has increased in recent years.

"I think it seems to be acceptable among many juveniles to arm themselves and carry guns," Steinhauser said. "We are dealing with a very different type of juvenile than we did I 0 years ago."

With the incidents of more violent

crime on campus, victims perceptions of safety on campus has changed.

"I thought it was safer than the rest of downtown , and now I don ' t," Baertlein said.

Olson voiced similar concerns.

"I've never really felt unsafe on campus before," Olson said. "I do now."

According to Connie Besser, public safety information officer for Auraria, the development of Elitch's and Coors Field is bound to add more pedestrian traffic to Auraria's campus.

"It' s not out of the ballpark to anticipate an increase in crimes of that nature just because of the higher numbers of people and the higher numbers of young people that are going to be on campus," Besser said.

The question that comes to mind is what is being done to combat this new element of crime on campus.

'They need to show more force down there even make it a restricted campus," Baertlein said. 'These kind of things cannot go on at college."

Baertlein also suggested that better

lighting on campus would help control crime.

Joseph Ortiz, Auraria' s new director of public safety, agrees that more visibility is important during the time periods when these crimes occur.

Ortiz would also like to do more preventative education with the student body as means of combatting crime on campus.

While the overall crime rate ip the district has gone down, juvenile arrests have gone up 11 percent from 1992 to 1993. The figures for 1994 have not been completed yet, but neighborhood crime rates appear to be dropping again.

Garcia said that juveniles know how the system works and they push it to the limit. The worst punishment a juvenile can receive is a juvenile life sentence, which is until they reach age 18," he said.

Steinhauser said the juvenile system hasn ' t changed to meet the needs of today's juvenile, although the legislature did increase the number of crimes that juveniles could be charged with as an adult in 1993.

Students approve bus pass program Kevin Juhasz Senior Staff Writer

The Metropolitan/Jenny Sparks

BUS PASS PASSES: Students of the three Auraria colleges voted in favor of the RTD program.

By a margin of four to one, the students of Auraria campus gave the go ahead for the RTD bus pass program.

The vote, which was held Monday and Tuesday, brought 2,577 students to the polls to decide the fate of an increase in student fees by $15 .41 to be able to use their IDs as bus passes.

2,043 students voted in favor of the program, while only 534 were opposed.

JoAnn Soker, executive vice president for Auraria Higher Education, was pleased with the vote, and the fact that all three colleges voted heavily in favor of the program.

"You worry a little bit that one school's going to say overwhelmingly ' yes' and somebody else is going to say 'no,"' she said. "It's very clear that students of all three of the school's participated and had the same opinion."

The program now goes before the governing boards of each college for approval. There is no set deadline for approval. There is no set date by which it must be approved. Saker hopes to have all information to the boards by the next time each meets. If it is approved by all three, the program will begin Aug. 21.

The pass is good from the beginning of one semester to the beginning of the next and can be used seven days a week. There is no charge to ride local buses or the light ra il. Students wh o use regional or express buses receive a $1 discount on the normal fare.

Kersten Hostetter, student representative to the Auraria Board, was pleased with the voter turnout.

She had anticipated only 1,500 students would vote and hoped for 2,200. She was also happy that there was a clear majority in the issue.

"Th at' s 路what we wanted . That 's wha t (the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board) wanted - student's to tell us and tell the administration which way they wanted to go," she said.

Ajayi Harris, who was the bus pass campaign

coordinator for CoPIRG, w~s pleased with the outcome.

"Overall, I think it' s a victory for students ...

It's a victory for mass transit and a victory for the environment," he said.

Harris said that he was worried about the final approval of the program, but thought there was enough of a turnout that it would happen.

RTD spokesman Andrew Hudson was also pleased with the outcome of the vote.

"I think it's a great thing," he said. "It' s a winwin situation for RTD, a win-win situation for the Auraria campus, and a definite win-win situation for downtown Denver."

Hudson said it would be an opportunity help alleviate traffic congestion and pollution and that it was a great deal for students.

He said that a similar program being run at the University of Colorado in Boulder has been very successful.

Metro student Jennifer Zimmerman, who rides the bus but did not vote, likes the program.

"I think it beneficial for people who ride the bus, but it's kind of not fair to the people who don' t ride the bus," she said.

Hudson said that it will benefit even those who do not use the bus because it could free up parking on campus.

UCD students Ellen Beeson and Jason Bjornsen also thought it would help with parking problems.

Bjornsen said he would use it on occasion because o f fru strati o ns he e ncount e rs with pa rking at Auraria.

Beeson thinks it will he lp alleviate problems that may occur with so much new development, like the new AMC theaters, El itc h's and the Pe ps i Center.

Soker's only apprehension is that it will not be utilized.

"My one fear about the program is that everyone will tax themselves for $ 15, which is not exactly cheap, and then no one will use it," she said. "So, my hope is that, in fact, a lot of students will end up using it, and it will be well worth the money."

Auraria hires public safety director Former division chief with Denver Police wants to reach out to campus community Becky O'Guin Staff Writer Auraria named retired Denver Police Division Chief Joseph Ortiz to fill the position of director of Auraria Public Safety Monday.

JoAnn Soker, executive vice president of administration for Auraria, and Dean Wolf, vice president of operations for Auraria, made the final decision after getting recommendations from the search committee.

"We had some great candidates," Soker said. "This was one (decision) we really agonized over," Soker said.

Soker said they picked Ortiz because of his extensive experience in Denver and his administrative and public relations abilities.

"We wanted to make sure we had someone who doesn't think this is just about crime, it's about community." Soker said.

After 25 years with the Denver Police Department, Ortiz said that with his well-rounded experience in dealing with law enforcement and public relations, he can bring leadership and training to APS. 'Tm elated and looking forward to getting to the job," Ortiz said of his new position.

"He has a wealth of experience and I think he will do just fine," said David Michaud, Denver chief of police, Ortiz' previous boss.

Ortiz attended the Colorado Law Enforcement Training Academy in 1970. He received a Bachelor of Arts in sociology in 1980 from Regis University with a minor in criminal justice.

~l

Ortiz said he has many ideas to hash out in his capacity as director. One of his ideas is to implement some kind of community-oriented policing program, since APS is not involved in much law-enforcement activity, such as a metropolitan police department would be.

"We want to become a part of the campus as 1 opposed to being somewhat isolated," Ortiz said.

Bot'h Soker and Ortiz said they want to set up a link between public safety and the students.

"The clientele that we serve is very much a part of what we are all about," he said. "Without the support of the clientele we serve, we are not being utilized efficiently."

As part of his idea of setting up a link between students and public safety Ortiz said, "I intend to be very available and open. For the most part everything that we do, we would certainly want everybody to know about, that's our business."

He said that he does not intend to make changes until he has had a chance to do an evaluation of the department.

"It' s not as if I'm going into a department that needs a lot of work, that's not the case," he said.

"They' ve been doing a pretty good job. I think it would be foolhardy for any commander or any administrator to go into an organization and start making a Jot of changes i~ediately without knowing who the personnel are."

The national search for director began in December 1994 and drew 204 applications. Auraria budgeted $7 ,500 for th( search.

Hate mail fails to frighten teachers History professor receives threats through the mail for two years Kristy .Frei The Metropolitan An attempt to silence teachers is not going to happen, according to history Professor Monys Hagen. Hagen and other professors at Metro have been receiving hate mail and verbal threats on campus.

The latest hate message came to her April 4.

Hagen, who just received tenure, has taught at Metro in the History Department for five years. For two years, she has been getting threatening mail.

The latest letter states, "Dykes will not be tolerated on this campus" and "You' re all being watched." Another line states "Watch your back."

Hagen said that there are three theories of what the note constitlites: The first idea is that the note is from a student who happened to be upset about a grade and wanted to lash out; the second is that the person or persons hate her so much, they wanted to let her know; and the third concept is simply violence against women.

Hagen said she believes that the author of the _note is most likely a student.

"There is an atmosphere of disrespect when a student thinks that they can threat-

"Occurrences of this nature don ' t happen all of the time, but when they do, it creates an atmosphere of being under siege," Slatkin said. "A guarded teacher is not a good teacher."

Megan Reyes, president of Student Government, said that harassment on campus is nothing new.

"Homophobia is alive and well on .this campus and it saddens me," she said. 路, Reyes said that whoever has been threat~ning others is in a group that is so underground, they will probably not be caught.

Her suggestion is that Metro should have 路monthly forums on topics such as harassment.

Al though Hagen received these threats, she said she still feels that Metro is a fair and warm environment for everyone including women, Chicanos, African Americans, Native Americans and homosexuals. Hagen said there is a genuine attempt on the part of the faculty to make Metro a welcome place for everyone, and that is why the harassment is so unacceptable.

Metro elects representatives to take student concerns to Auraria board New committee members see Tivoli Student Union as key issue Louis A. Landa News Editor After an initial election glitch, Metro finally has two new representatives to the Student Advisory Committee to the Aurar1a Board.

Ajayi Harris and Amy Haimerl were elected during a run-off election held April 17-21. Voting was low with Harris receiving 50 votes, Haimerl 34 votes and Stephanie Barnett 27 votes.

Haimerl will be a junior next year and is a double major in journalism and economics.

She said she is very excited about her government. She served as vice president of student fees for the 1994-95 school year.

She said she wants to spend the summer becoming better informed about the intricacies of the position. To begin her

term she will focus on two issues: One is CoPIRG gives catering on campus and at the Tivoli him a unique Student Union; the other is the Tivoli perspective for itself. the needs and "We have to decide whether the demands of the Tivoli is going to be a retail space with a clubs.

"If we ·can Student Union in it, or, is it a Student Union with retail space?" she said. t1nd out what The other SACAB representative clubs want, and agrees that the Tivoli will be high on his .theri work with priority list. Ajayi Harris is a senior AHEC we can (the majoring in political science. He has long make Haimerl been a driving force behind the Metro Tivoli) a better chapter of CoPIRG. This is evident in his Studerit Union."

The two priority issues. ·~1 think if the bus pass referendum new members passes, I want to work on a brochure to expres!ied a explain the program," he said. He said he need to keep an also wants to increase the amount of recy- open and direct contact with the cling that takes place on campus.

He added that the Tivoli is one of his students.

"I want major issues also.

"I want to form a better voice for the SACAB to have student point of view for the Tivoli as much of an Harris expansion," Harris said. He said any open-door poliexpansion must keep the students' needs cy as possible," Harris said.

SACAB is a six-member committee and student fees ..high on the list of conconsisting of silldents from the three cerns for the decision makers.

Harris also expressed an interest in Auraria schools. The committee addresses the needs of the members of campus and presents the needs and concerns of clubs. He said his association with the students to the Auraria Board.

APS boosts patrols Auraria Public Safety has increased its patrols across campus in response to the bombing at the federal building in Oklahoma City.

APS is not increasing the number of police officers, but it is increasing the frequency of their patrols.

The increased patrols were the idea of Dean Wolf, vice president of operations, to help keep students and faculty at ease.

Auraria Executive Vice President of Administration IoAnn Soker said the Auraria campus was never in any danger but said it was necessary to take every safeguard possible.

"I think we were just trying to take precatiti&'ns, but in no way do I feel this campus was ever in any danger," Soker said.

APS has two police officers and two student guards on patrol at all times.

Connie Besser, manager of community services for public safety, said that no copycat-type threats have been received.

"No threats have been called in, nor do we expect any," Besser said.

Metro student Bill Martinez said the precautions are unnecessary.

"If anything, I hope the government buildings around town have upped their security." he said.

'fiyoJi business owners sweat summer shortage

Tivoli Student Union 2nd Floor Open for Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner 572-DELI

Merchants boycott meetings to draw attention to dissatisfaction Christopher Anderson Senior Staff Writer Tivoli shop owners are about to take on their greatest test yet - summer.

The owners fear that some stores may not survive this summer without student patronage. Tivoli Merchant Association spokesman and New York Deli owner Warren Tepper said shop owners need to improve marketing and parking validation, among several other issues, to encourage non-student business if their shops are to survive.

Most owners have said the current parking validation system needs to be made uniform to prevent customers from being discouraged to shop at Tivoli.

An ongoing complaint from shop owners has been that Auraria officials lack the experience to promote business.

Those changes need the approval of the Auraria Higher Education Center and, according to Tepper, Auraria isn't listening.

"It's like they don't want to hear that there are problems," Tepper said.

Tepper said merchants have been boycotting meetings with Auraria's Tivoli management because problems have not been resolved. Tepper said owners made up a list of concerns and asked to discuss them with JoAnn Soker, Auraria executive vice president of administration.

Soker is the highest Auraria official besides the Auraria Board.

Soker said merchants are creating a false perception.

Merchants are required to turn in sales reports, and those reports indicate business is better than expected, Soker said. Costs such as maintenance, bills and labor are not included in those reports, she said.

"The numbers that we have for the various outlets are more than we expected, Soker said. "They are the ones that want to keep their sales figures confidential, and I would love to go public with this stuff because they are doing fine."

Tepper disagreed.

'They won't think we are lying when we are out of business this summer," Tepper said.

Soker said she has not heard of any meeting with the merchants or seen the list.

Ros•arie Del Monte, Soker' s assistant and an atttimey for Auraria, said she has the ii.st and that she will be meeting with the owners and Tivoli managers to resolve the problems. Del Monte said she thinks the main problem has been com- ' munication, and that the problems can be worked out.

She is a political science major with a philosophy minor "because I couldn't stomach a woman's studies minor." She has served on literally dozens of committees and organizations at Metro. She is Metro's Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board representative and has several awards, including the Colorado Scholar's Award and the vice president's honor roll.

And she never graduated from high school.

"Metro was the only place that would take me," Hostetter laughs, relating her first forays into higher education. "I took one semester of night classes here. I got straight As before I was told that I had to get my GED before I came back. I was so scared that 1 would fail, it was a year before I got up the nerve to take it."

Incidentally, she also has the Colorado Department of Education award for excellence in GED testing.

She said that she ~came back to school because "I was managing a restaurant, and hiring people twice my age with no pensions or retirement funds. That really scared me."

However, coming back was no easy task.

"I hated it," she said. "I would come to class and go home." In order to lift the dreariness, she got involved in school politics.

"I saw a flyer for an assistant club coordina_tor, and thought, 'what a great way to meet people.' So I got the job, and the rest is history."

She describes herself as an advocate, someone who will stand up for those who aren't standing up for themselves, whatever the reason.

"Information is power," she said. "I became almost obsessed with making sure that information is r~layed to the students." She added, "People n~d to be treated fairly."

This ~hampio~-of-the-meek attitude may be attributed to T.J. Cole, one of Kersten's favorite professors. Cole is not only a teacher here, but is a football coach at Mesa State and a judge in the Boulder County Division.

"This guy's amazing," she said. "I have absolutely loved every class I've ever taken from him, especially his sports Jaw class."

Which brings her to her other favorite professor, Norman Provizer, chairman of the Political Science Department. Hostetter said that she begged him for months to let Cole teach a sports law class before he finally gave in.

"He's a constitutional god," she said. "He knows practically everything about the Constitution, and he knows all the little anecdotes behind the laws," which makes for interesting discussions, she added.

Hostetter plans on attending graduate school The Metropolitan/Jenny Sparks at Denver University in the fall, where she GRATEFUL GRADUATE: Kersten Hostetter plans to wants to pursue a master's of international law. attend DU to pursue her master's degree.

Planning is best advice for job hunt Suzanne Lawrence The Metropolitan

Attention Metro graduates!

Many of you are probably in the throes of job interviews or soon will be.

Two experts have some advice for you.

Interviewing job applicants is what Rosa Salamanca, interim associate director of Mi Casa Women's Center, and Rebecca Glover, personnel representative of State Farm Insurance, spend a great deal of time doing. Here are their tips as you prepare for that next interview: •Perceptions are reality.

First impressions are lasting and help set the tone of the interview. Make certain your non verbal communication (i.e., dress, posture, tone of voice, gestures and facial expressions) are saying what you want them to. Eye contact with the inter-

viewer is a necessity.

•Be courteous.

This includes anyone you come in contact with at the organization, either in person or over the phone. You don 't know the kind of influence these individuals may have with the person conducting the interview. You are interviewing prospective employers at the same time they are interviewing you. Remember to ask questions of the interviewer that indicate you have an interest in and knowledge of the company and the position you are applying for.

•Get some background.

You should know the starting salary, benefits, opportunities for advancement and possible career paths before you arrive for the interview.

This information can be obtained in a variety of ways, either by contacting the Career Services Office at Metro, research-

ing the company at the library, making inquiries of the human resources department within the company or questioning company personnel.

The interview is your chance to more clearly define what you've written (or not) on your resume. It is a chance to weave together all the different aspects of your educational and work experiences.

Determine how you can best sell yourself as an asset to that company.

•Emphasize ·~our skills.

Anticipate questions you will be asked and develop a strategy or framework in your mind for answering them.

This will help you avoid rambling when answering questions during the interview.

Practicing hypothetical questions and answers aloud with a friend will greatly enhance interviewing skills.

The bottom line is BE PREPARED. Relax and good luck.

connections Dear Metro Connections: I am a senior who will be graduating this May. Everyone around me expects me to feel excited and relieved about finally finishing school. In contrast, whenever I think about this last semester ending, I feel a growing sense of anxiety coloring my anticipation. I think I may have grown very dependent on the structure that classwork has provided in my life. Once I graduate, I'll actually have time to worry about my personal life for a change-not to mention having to earn a real income instead of living off student grants and loans. Am I totally abnormal to feel like this or is "graduation jitters" a common affliction?

Signed Jittery Dear Jittery: You are normal. Any life change, such as graduation, can give you the worst case of butterflies. You've been living a life crowded with textbooks and papers and now you are about to be challenged with what you have learned. Perhaps you question all you have accomplished.

You are not alone.

What lies ahead in that "hazy unknown"? You now have to manage a personal life including the start of your career. Remember those things you've acquired while you pursued your education. You've gained skills and knowledge in your chosen field, plus time management, effective communication, social interaction, financial management, organizational and writing skills. All of these are attributes prospective employers seek in job candidates.

If you need career guidance, contact the Career Services in Room 177, Arts Building. Their philosophy is "teaching the student job seek skills". They conduct workshops on resumes, interviewing, networking, and even how to dress. If you aren't sure of a direction, they administer tests to ascertain your interests and abilities. Career Services is not just a job board.

Be prepared for surprises. Have more than one option to set into motion in case the door shuts in one direction. Be as resolved in achieving your future goals as you were in finishing school. Be confident in yourself and be proud of your accomplishments here. Take special care of yourself as well. It will boost your confidence and will impress a potential employer. When you fear possible rejection, keep this in mind and don't be daunted, "The best revenge is living well." Live well, friend.

The Q.uran and Muslim religion specifically forbid such barbaric acts and the killing of innocent people.

It is indeed appalling to any American, that law-abiding American citizens were being detained and questioned on the sole basis of their race and/or religious affiliation. This is unconstitutional and is not conducive to a free society.

One must attempt to heal the pain of the victims before rushing to convict on the basis of race or religion. What is needed is an atmosphere of understanding and caring, not undue aggression and hate.

Humanrservice majors: pat yourselves on the back Nearing the end of the semester ... what a relief!

Who doesn't need a break?!

I have a need to say some things to fellow students of the Human Services program.

You are courageous people. Perhaps you chose this field because of a desire to right some wrongs; you wanted to assist an ill society in becoming a well society. Maybe you just want to make this world a better place to live.

It is a fact that during the educational years of this program many of you will deal with your own hurts, family backgrounds, and probably some wreckage of the past. This work all requires a great deal of courage.

Pat yourselves on the back. Passing through these flames certainly refines the end product - you and your abilities.

I believe no one who enters this program will leave unchanged - a better human being. I also have observed we do not all have the same passions.

Thankfully, we are not all specialists in one area. We are diversified - each one better able to handle certain issues or specifics. I encourage you to appreciate, respect and admire those differences. Do not let it frustrate you that we do not all see issues in the same light (or hear a different drumbeat).

Having yet to see a more concerned, passionate groups of people, I am proud and honored to be a part of this small group of caring, courageous human beings.

Contract With America targets student loans a guest editorial by U.S. Representative Patricia Schroeder True to form, congressional Republicans blazed through their first 100 days cutting down everything in their path. Everything, that is, except the big business and big earners that helped put them in power.

Cuts were focused on programs that serve children, the poor and the elderly - school lunches, job training, drug-free school programs, housing and energy assistance - while benefits were directed toward corporate interests and the very wealthy.

Seriously at risk now are college scholarships and student loans. Republicans want to help pay for tax cuts for the wealthy by slashing college scholarships and eliminating the grace period that allows 4.5 million students to defer interest charges while still in school.

Consider the impact of this: There are nearly 82,000 students in Colorado with Stafford loans.

The average student debt is $13, 183, with a monthly payment of $156. Under the GOP plan, the average debt would rise to $16,285, with a monthly payment of $192. 72. The addi.tional cost to you: $36. 72 per month, or $4,406 over the life of the loan. That's an average debt increase of nearly 20 percent.

Republicans also want to deny college tuition help to 32,000 young people nationwide who want to

"The future of higher education is 路on the 路路line." help pay for their education by working in their communities: tutoring, serving as police cadets, or on the other service projects like AmeriCorps, President Clinton's national service plan.

The same Republicans that rode into Congress on a deficit-reduction wave are now directing savings from these cuts not to deficit reduction, but instead to tax breaks for their friends. These include a shameful tax loophole for billionaires who renounce their citizenship to avoid paying, and another designed to benefit a single person: media

Design your own degree M Hello, ladies and germs! 'Tis I, your favorite (or not) gadfly, coming to J you in the spring of our mutual discontent to find out what's up and see if everybody's happy. Obviously the happiness of your worthy correspondent matters not a tinker's damn, so we'll not broach that topic. Yet. I would like to direct your attention to H.B. 1191, the tuition-tripling bill recently passed by the Colorado legislature. Is anyone on campus affected by this as yet? Would you tell me if you were? I mean in writing, not in passing.

I find it interesting that the legislature thinks the institutions of higher education are not responsive to students' needs, then finds it in the depths of their black, flabby, little hearts to penalize the students of the unresponsive '- institutions. Of course, it all becomes clear as mud when you consider the ruling class in our political system right now.

Let me see if I have interpreted the law correctly: If a student, through whatever causation loop, is exceeding 135 total credit hours, or 15 percent more credits than is strictly necessary for graduation with a Baccalaureate, whether of Sciences or of Arts, then said student possessing excessive ,-- hours will be assessed a higher tuition and have access to financial aid restricted. There is a clause pertaining to length of time spent in degree attainment, but I didn't want to muddy the waters any more than they already

tycoon Rupert Murdoch. Consider these gems: The average tax cut for the wealthiest one percent of Americans - those earning more than $350,000 - is more than $20,000. That's about 75 times higher than the average tax break for 65 million American working families .

The average tax cut for families making less than $30,000 is just $124, while the average for families making more than 200,000 is $11,266.

Families making more than $100,000 - the wealthiest 12 percent - get 51.5 percent of all the tax breaks.

The cuts are incredibly shortsighted, targeting programs with big long-term payoffs like nutrition for pregnant women and their children, education, job training and violence prevention in favor of shortterm payoffs for their wealthy friends.

The next 100 days promise to be equally grueling, with battles over affirmative action, Title X family planning money and the Title IX gender equity legislation on the table.

- With the battle over student loans certain to heat up, there has never been a more critical time for young Americans to be involved. The future of higher education is on the line.

Students in a traditional field need help in applying for grad school; students who design a degree write a personal statement right off the bat, as well as a justification for the design of their course of study, just to obtain their undergraduate degree.

It adds greatly to the discipline of a student to choose his or her own path; any psychologist will tell you that choices you make contribute to the likelihood of your remaining on your chosen path. In witness, consider how many students entering college right out of high school change their majors.

They have no say in the design, or shape, of their degree, so they have no great commitment to the quality of their education. On a personal note, when I got into college in 1977, I was a Psych major. When I got to USC in Pueblo, I was a Philosophy major. When I graduated from OJC in La Junta, my degree was in Liberal Arts. Guess how far an Associate of Liberal Arts will take you. ,Design your own degree. It's fun; it's not easy; it will deepen your commitment to your quality of life and others' as well. And who the hell knows, you might even learn something.

Castillo speaks to aspiring young writers Award-winning Chicana writer brings her voice, heart and motivation to St. Cajetan s Dave Flomberg Senior Staff Writer

>

She is a proud presence, carrying herself like a woman that has known and conquered adversity, a trait common to many successful Chicanas. She is a poet, an author, an artist, and a spokeswoman.

She is Ana Castillo.

After receiving a standing ovation, Ana Castillo speaks to an audience made up mostly of young aspiring Chicano writers at Raices Mestizas, the Chicano literary symposium held by Metro April 20 at St. Cajetan' s. The symposium featured several authors and also served as an awards banquet for high. school and college level Chicano writers.

Castillo, author of works such as The Mixquiahuala Letters and Massacre of the Dreamers, has received several awards for her fiction and a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts for her poetry.

As she talks about what it was like growing up in the barrios of Chicago, the children become strangely quiet.

Fidgeting ceases, and eyes become transfixed as they appear to be listening to someone who is of a great importance, as if what she has to say will be something that they will need to carry with them when they go back to their daily routines.

She weaves a tale of a woman who

wanted nothing more than to be a painter, and ran into a wall at every turn. She-tells about a child that, growing up, wrote and wrote and wrote, but all in secret, as her words were "subversive" and "inflammatory." She speaks of a college studen~ whose most influential professor also became a focal point of her nightmares.

But most of all, she talks about hopes, wishes, and dreams, and how they can come to be realized; how a young girl from the ghettos of middle America can raise herself by her bootstraps and become one of the most respected writers of any race in the nation. " The Chicana woman must keep attentive to her body, spirit, and mind," she said. "We must be fit as warriors."

Not warriors in the sense of military, but in the sense of a people striving for recognition, respect and balance.

"Every day, there is a war somewhere in the world. Why do we accept this as a way of life?" Castillo says.

"Peace is the achieval of balance, not the opposite of war.

"It is inevitable that society acts like the food chain. We must strive as a people to not become intimidated." 路After reatlinog these excerpts from Massacre of the Dreamers, which was named after the soothsayers that were assassinated by Aztec Emporer

The Metropolitan/Jenny Sparks

VOICE OF A WARRIOR: Chicana writer Ana Castillo passionately challenges a young audience to be a strong and proud people, to raise themselves out of the barrios and embrace life. Castillo spoke at St.Cajetan's Thursday for the Chicano Literary Symposium Raices Mestizas.

Montezuma for predicting the end of the empire, she fields questions.

"How do you fight writer's block?" asks one wide-eyed girl. 路 "I write when I am dreaming ," replies Castillo.

"What inspired you to write?" asks another.

"I wanted to be a painter. .." begins Castillo. She relates the_拢<;>nstant barrage of discouragement she received from her professors in college, so much so that she put down her brushes and canvas and

never touched them for 17 years afterward. Instead of brushes, she picked up a pen. Paper became her substitute for canvas, and the written word became her art.

"I now have a voice," she says. "That is a great privilege and a great responsibility."

As the audience funnels out, a girl and a boy talk about what they just saw.

"S~ was so beautiful," the girl says.

"Yeah, especially if you closed your eyes and just listened to what she said," says the boy.

Metro grad dedicated to educating kids School principal receives college award, says shes thankful to Metro; flexible schedule allowed her to complete a B.A. degree Kristy Frei The Metropolitan Betty C.de Baca, a Metro alumna and principal of Smedly Elementary School, is proof that there is life after graauation.

C.de Baca was presented Metro's Plain and Fancy Person of the Year Award at the alumni ball April I. Even though C.de Baca's life is hectic, she finds that any kind of work with children is rewarding.

"It is so wonderful to know that whatever I do is affecting the children," C.de Baca said.

A day in the life of an elementary school principal is packed with faculty meetings, parent and child interactions, requests to be on committees, tons of phone calls and lots of paperwork. There is no regular working day for C.de Baca: Most of the time she puts in 12 to 14 hours of work a day, and by 3 p.m. she wonders why 's~e is hungry.

"Lunch just isn't a priority," C.de Baca said.

C.de Baca said she enjoys visiting with her children and grandchildren in her spare time. When she can

fit it in, she likes to read Chicano novelists, but nothing to do with leadership, considering it would bring her back into a work mode.

C.d Baca taught in primary school for 15 years and has been a principal for four. While she was attending Metro, her major was elementary education with a minor in education . Three out of her four years at Metro, C.de Baca did work study through the Chicano Studies Department, which was like a family and very close-knit, she said.

She paid tribute to a professor and mentor she felt had a huge impact on her life, Dr. Arnold Chavez, who helped guide C.de Baca in the right ~irection toward networking and getting her name out in the field of education.

"What Metro has to offer is what no other college or university has, because Metro makes it convenient and accessible for all students to go to college," said C.deBaca.

If it had not been for Metro, C.de Baca said that she would not have attended college. She was a single parent at the time, raising two children .路 She needed a school that catered to flexible schedules, she said.

"My life bas gone to points I would.have never dreamed of because of the B.A. I got at Met~o," C.de Baca said.

After graduating in 1979, she attended the University of Colorado at Denver and received a masters in bilingual and multicultural education. At Denver University she studied for an administration certificate that sent her on her way to becoming a principal.

Congratulations Graduatin__......_ Senior The following students have made a special contribution to student life on campus through their involvement in Student Life programs.

WELCOME TO MY NIGHTMARE: Animistic spirit Johnny Destiny (Quentin Tarantino) gives some prophetic advice to bank-robbing ex-con Julian Goddard (Dylan McDermott), as Destiny gives him a much-needed riae through the dusty desert in the new movie Destiny Turns on the Radio.

Tarantino plays Mr. Destiny in romantic comedy set in Las Vegas Isaac Mion Staff Writer

.J

Due to the success of Pulp Fiction and subsequent rediscovery of Reservoir Dogs, Quentin Tarantino has become a household name in America literally overnight.

Tarantino gets his premiere role in the upcoming film Destiny Turns on the Radio, a romantic comedy set amidst the dreams and squalor of Las Vegas.

Unfortunately, the movie Tarantino is acting in can't hold a candle to the ones he's written and directed. And those hoping to get a good dose of intricate plot and gangster violence from this film will probably end up falling asleep.

Dylan McDermott and Nancy Travis star as Julian and Lucille, distraught lovers who are separated when Julian gets sent to the joint for a bank heist.

The plot is basic enough. Boy meets girl, boy falls in love with girl, boy robs bank, boy loses girl, boy breaks out of jail, boy gets girl back. In the midst of this snail-paced storyline, a Vegas demigod of fate named Johnny Destiny, played by Tarantino, pops onto the scene every once in a while to organize snippets of good luck for various people.

The special effects that accompany Tarantino's character and the persistence with which Julian covets and pursues Lucille make for a fairly unique story. But the overwrought romantic dialogue gets tired and seems to have absolutely no relation to this deity who keeps creeping around all the other characters, offering prophetic oneliners.

"Who the fuck are you, a walking fortune cookie?" retorts casino owner Tuerto to Destiny after Destiny tells him that "love can only be found within the circles of time," or something to that effect.

Tuerto is played by Jim Belushi, who gives one of the stronger performances. Tracey Walters does an interesting job of portraying Pappy, the father and friend of Julian. All in all, the acting from the main characters is not too shabby, but once away from the main characters, plenty of second-rate acting and bad one liners are readily provided.

The movie is further enhanced by a sure fire Oscar-nomination performance from Bobcat Goldthwait, the stuttering idiot

from Police Academy who plays a bumbling undercover detective trying to hunt down Julian. His tired slapstick antics and hyperactive thespian style get about as many laughs from the audience as cat juggling does from the Humane ·SOc:iety.

At the end of the movie, Goldthwait's character, Mr. Smith, runs screaming into an empty swimi;ning pool in what seems like a desperate last attempt to get some laughs and save his career.

L The swimming pool that he lays in with his face smashed on the concrete is actually the most interesting part of the movie. The murky green water bubbles and emanates electricity before Destiny rises from it to go forth and be mystical.

References to another world which is accessed through the pool itself are given, but never explored.

Hopefully, the reason for holding back isn' t that a sequel is in the works to this heartwarming but monotonous tale that is best described as an unmixed recipe of Viva Las Vegas, Cocoon and an old episode of Time Travelers.

A HISTORIAN AT HEART: History and Women's Studies Professor Monys Hagen is working on a video that will document the Women's Army Corps Detachment stationed at Camp Hale in Leadville, Colo. during world War II. but some interviews have been videotaped, Hagen said.

The video project won a grant from the Colorado Endowment for the Humanities to cover preproduction costs.

The $11,000 grant was the largest award given out this year. Hagen said they will need $40,000 in additional funds for production costs.

They are planning to finish this project by the end of summer. Hagen said she hopes this video will be used for college classes, public television and events like Women's History Month.

"We are anticipating that this is going to be seen not just at Auraria, but hopefully by broader audiences," Hagen said.

Superstar flickers but never ignites Louis A. Landa News Editor

>

Jesus Christ Superstar poses many challenges for any theater company, be it college or professional. For the actors, the music is demanding, and the concentration required for the show is intense.

Anyone willing to assume the take should be commended. The Metro Theatre Department's version of Superstar works, but only for brief moments. The two male leads are weak and others barely hold their parts together.

Fortunately, a strong ensemble keeps the show from completely falling apart.

The brightest moments of the show belong to Lisa Winkler. Of the four different productions of Superstar I have seen, she gives the best performance as Mary Magdalene by far. She has the voice, form and emotion to single-handedly carry this show.

Of the three main characters she is the only one who seems completely comfortable with the songs, hitting notes to perfection. She was the only one who took command of the songs and made them her own.

Her concentration is solid from the first note to the final blackout. Her rendition of "I Don't Know How To Love Him" was flawless. Unfortunately, due to poor staging, the first few moments of the number could not be seen by some of the audience. I hope she is a freshman so the

theater program can be ensured a solid female lead for years to come.

When it comes to the male leads, the show falls flat in more ways than one.

Stacy Ayer (Jesus) and Joel Underwood (Judas) just don't have the voices to pull off these roles. Both men are physically suited for the roles and both actors perform their roles well. However, all of that goes out the window when they start . singing: Ayer sounds like he is competing between his attempt to be heard over the band and his efforts not to crack while stretching for high notes. His falsettos, of which there are many, seem to be squeezed out of him by an invisible snake.

Underwood struggles through all of the Act I songs. He does settle in during the second act numbers and actually gives a refreshingly good performance during "Superstar." Underwood is so at home during this number, I almost wondered if he was just having an ·off night during the first act.

They both pale compared to the solid

performance of Winkler.

Jesus Christ Superstar chronicles the final week of the life of Jesus of Nazareth, from his triumphant entrance on Palm Sunday to his crucifixion. Along the way, Superstar presents the last supper, the Garden of Gethsemane and the passion of Christ. The plot to capture Jesus pushes the action along.

Curt Waibel gives a passable performance as Caiaphas, the religious leader bent on destroying Jesus. He works through most of the songs, struggling only with the throat-crushing low notes required by the part.

Chris Medina's performance as Annas is a joke.

It's difficult to remember the last time I saw so much overacting. It's often interesting to see how bad, bad acting can get, and this was extremely interesting. Occasionally actors who don't have a firm grasp on their roles will overplay it to compensate for this deficiency. This is clearly what happened with Medina. His theatrical self-aggrandizement is an embarrassment to himself, his fellow cast members and the show as a

The Metro production by no means fails, but to call it a success would be going a bit far.

whole.

On the positive side, Larry Mitchell gives a fine performance as Pontius Pilate. He gives the role the power and focus it requires during the ''Trial Before Pilate" scene, late in Act II. Other notable performances come from Jenna Hawkins, Sarah Mae Johnson and Jennifer Proulx Fitz Randolph as the Soul Sister during "Superstar." Their high-energy dancing gives the number a perfect punch.

The dancing is solid throughout.

Marilyn Cohen choreographs a fine show.

The only real glitch comes during "King Herod's Song" where all of the dancers see!ll to be hampered by rickets.

Technically this production is outstanding. The lighting is on the mark. It never tries too hard and never distracts from the actors.

This is a good time to commend those who too often go unnoticed. The set for Jesus Christ Superstar is marvelous.

The set design and construction for all of the Metro theatre productions have been equally praiseworthy this year. Hats off and kudos to the hardworking folks that bring this essential facet of the production into reality . Great job.

Let's face it, Jesus Christ Superstar is not an easy show at any level. And those who attempt it should be given credit for trying. The Metro production by no means fails, but to call it a success would be going a bit far.

Baseball team takes 2 of 3 from UN C Roadrunners in.close race with Nebraska-Kearney - Metro needs four wins against Denver Scott Gardner The Metropolitan Metro's men's baseball team squared off against the University of Northern Colorado Bears over the weekend in a pair of nonconference doubleheaders. On Saturday, the Roadrunners took the first game 11-7, scoring seven runs in the seventh innfog to pull out the victory. Casey Hostetler broke out of a hitting slump, tagging a solo homerun in the sixth inning. Metro pitcher Rob Wiggins overcame difficult weather conditions in getting the win.

UNC took revenge in the second game holding off a late rally by Metro to post a I I -8 win.

On Sunday more than 100 bundled-up fans braved the chilly weather to see which team would come away with baseball bragging rights for the year. When the dust settled after game one, the Roadrunners were on top by a score of I 1-7. Metro started cracking the bat early when hot-hitting Tom Hartman doubled-in Tracy Archuleta for a 1-0 lead. Jason Riley and Hostetler each drove in runs to strech the lead to 3-0 after one inning.

The Bears came out of hibernation in the second inning with a solo homer off of Metro starter Shawn Harpin to make the score 3-1. The Bears added another run in the fourth inning to make it a one-run game at 3-2.

In the top of the fifth inning, Harpin walked the tying run, prompting a visit to the mound by Metro coach Vince Porreco.

"I started getting tired at the end," Harpin admitted.

The Bears danced over the plate two more times to take a 4-3 lead before Harpin retired the side.

"I tried to use the whole field out there for .my players," Harpin said.

The bottom of the fifth inning proved to be the Bears' Waterloo. Hartman started the Metro hitting parade with a solo blast over the 390 fence to knot the score at 4-4. Pat Maxwell, Matt Nispel and Riley all reached base to set the stage for Hostetler. Mighty Casey pulled off every hitter's dream with a grand slam blast over the 340 fence. It was the second grand slam· of the year for the Roadrunners (Matt Torrez had the other).

"I have a lot of confidence right now," Hostetler said. "Im getting ahead of the count and just sitting on the fastball," he added.

With one swing of the bat, Metro was now up 8-4.

Not to be outdone, Devin Bixby followed Hostetler with a <linger of his own, for the first back-to-back homers of

UNC managcll to limp three more runs across the plate in the seventh, before Metro's ace reliever Jason Mayoral came in to get the last out and put the icing on the cake of an l I-7 win for the Roadrunners.

"It felt good to come in and shut them down," Mayoral said after the game.

Women drop season finale Michael BeDan Sports Editor For seniors Rosemary Aiello and Stephanie Walker, this is the best and last chance to do some damage at the Colorado Athletic Conference Tournament. To do that, they will need to break the jinx against big name schools like the University of Denver, Air Force and the University of Southern Colorado.

Metro closed out its spring tennis season Tuesday with a 5-3 loss to USC. The bright spots for the Roadrunners came at the No. l doubles spot and the No. 5 ru:id 6 singles positions.

Aiello and Walker combined to beat Julie Worski and Brady Murphy 8-6 at the top doubles spot.

"We played really good doubles," Walker said ''1tosemary was really at the

top of her game in doubles."

Roadrunners Petra Scholz and Danielle Nelson dropped an 8-4 decision to Lulu Cruz and Stacy Johnson at No. 2 doubles while Metro's Katie Horvat and Lena Capra were edged by Angela Reish and Layla Rosefeld 9-7 giving USC the doubles point.

Horvat and Capra were the only winners for Metro in singles as they each won in straight sets.

Horvat beat Reish 6-2, 6-4 at No. 5 and Capra knocked of Rosefeld 7-5, 6-2 at No.6.

"I felt bad last week, but I'm getting myself back in the groove," Horvat said.

At the top singles spot, Aiello-was beaten 6-2, 6-2 and Walker lost to Worsltl.

6-3, 6-4 at No. 2 in a match she said she wished she could do over.

"She was making bad calls," Walker

In game two on Sunday, the Bears came out growling, taking an 11-0 lead before the game was rained out in the fourth inning. Coach Porecco was optimistic about his team's chances of gaining the final playoff berth in the MHIBL (Mile High Intercollegiate Baseball League). ''We have to sweep our games against DU and then hope that Nebraska-Kearney loses," Porecco emphasized.

Metro travels to DU for a pair of doubleheaders starting at 1 p.m. Friday and noon on Saturday.

said. "Most of the season if I've had bad calls, I got a line judge, but I didn't yesterday. I should have had someone there to overrule."

The No. J.and 4 singles matches were decided in straight sets as well. Scholz lost 6-l, 6-3 to Murphy at No. 3 and Nelson was handled 6-2, 6-2 by Rosefeld at No. 4.

Assistant coach Nathan Brannon said his team's confidence was shaken but not broken.

"The girls are well prepared," Brannon said. "They have been working hard. I think they are frustrated with these losses. None of them fell like they can't win in conference."

The careers of Aiello and Walker will end after the CAC Tournament which begins today at Air Force. Walker said doing well in her last event is very important

-

"This year is my best chance and it would mean a lot," Walker said. "I want to place No. I or 2. That is what I'm shooting for."

Brannon said his team has to go all out to have a chance.

"We told our seniors that this is it," Brannon said. "If there is anytime you can't hold back it is now. They have to let it all hang out."

Horvat has a chance to do somelhing not many athletes can, win a conference title in three sports. She's won a CAC title in basketball and volleyball and would love to complete the hat trick.

"It would be pretty neat and exciting," Horvat said. "You have to treat it like it's any other match or you will lose control of what you want to do."

The spring season ended the way it began for the men, with a loss. None of that matters now though, the Colorado Athletic Conference Tournament kicks off today at Air Force Academy and wins and losses go out the window.

In its last dual match of the season, the Roadrunners were beaten 7-0 Tuesday by the University of Southern Colorado, the two time defending CAC champions. Metro didn't win a set in the match, coming closest at the No. 2 doubles spot where Steve Barlock and Ed Koss lost to Kevin Grieve and Cary Hodges 8-4.

Buu Le and Bret Walker were handed an 8-2 loss at No. l by Chris Leong and Brandon Sullivan and C.J. Arellano and Ben Pongpitoon were blanked

Le lost to Leon 6-2, 6-0 in the No. I singles match but said he feels confident going into the tournament.

"We've been working all spring for this," Le said. "I am going to conference and playing my heart out. It's my freshman year and I plan to make a mark."

Barlock finished the season without a singles victory, dropping this one 6-0, 6-1 to Sullivan at No. 2. Walker lost at No. 3 by the identical score while Arellano was handled 6-1, 6-0 at No. 4.

The No. 5 and 6 matches featured mirrored scores. Koss lost to Dykes 6-2, 6-2 at five and Pongpitoon dropped his match to Cruz likewise.

The Roadrunners hope to get a middle seeding in the conference tournament allowing them to face a lesser opponent in the first round. Assistant coach Nathap. Brannon said his team has kept a good moral through a difficult season.

Sports briefs· Hoop, there it is

Tettt the water at any of our five metro Denver area community colleges, where you con get many of your college requirements out of the way for just S51.00 a credit hour!

You can swim through core curriculum courses, such as calculus, chemistry, biology, English composition, speech communication, foreign languagett, and leagues of classes transferable fo any of Colorado's public four-year colleges or universities.

Men's basketball coach Charles Bradley added seven more players to his Roadrunner roster Monday, just a week after signing 7-foot center Cory Reader to the roster. Bradley signed three freshmen from Colorado high schools and added four junior college transfers.

Heading the list of preps is Skyview High School's DeMarcos Anzures, a 6foot-l guard who was the class 4A player of the year. Anzures averaged 26 points per game and led 4A in assists.

The Roadrunners added Martin Glasletter from Highlands Ranch High School, a 6-foot-6 forward, and 6-foot-6 guard Jeremy Ward from Poudre High School.

The transfers include Paul Durham, a 6-foot-8 forward from Victor Valley Junior College, Adrian Navarro, a 6-foot7 forward from Arizona Western Junior College, Ebony Pruit, a 6-foot-3 guard from Northeastern Junior College, and Jeff Stumme, a 6-foot-3 guard from Mesa Community College.

Those seven recruits along with Reader, the first seven footer to play in a Metro uniform, will drastically alter the make-up of last year' s squad.

Get your kicks Attention women soccer players: Metro women's soccer coach Ed Montojo is holding a 3 p.m. meeting in the lobby of the Auraria Events Center May 4. If you would like to play soccer next season, show up or contact Montojo in his office at 556-8300.

Keep it in the family Montojo announced the signing of prep mid fielder Katie Pierce from Arvada West High School. Pierce, an AllState honorable mention and first team All-Jeffco player, is the sister of Roadrunner goalie Jennifer Pierce.

Congrats Bill Helman announced last week that women's tennis player Danielle Nelson and baseball player Pat Maxwell are male and female athletes of the month.

Congrats part deux Metro baseball player Casey Hostetler, a junior catcher, was named Rawlings Mile High Intercollegiate Baseball League player of the week.

Hostetler batted .667, hit three bombs and knocked in 12 runs in a three-game series against the University of Northern Colorado. Hostetler reached base safely eight out of 11 trips to the plate and led Metro to two victories.

Speed demon Metro student Mark Rupprecht set a world record on skis April 14 in a speed skiing competition in Vars, France. The 21-year-old professional pilot major was clocked at a record-breaking 147 mph.

The record was broken by three other skiers the same day, but the effort was good enough to rank him fourth in the world. He ended last year's competition ranked 51 st.

Ruggerwin Metro's rugby team beat Wesfern State 21-5 in its season finale Nice ruckin' job boys.

That's it sports fans. Peace.
