Enrollment boom a no show

Metro's preliminary registration count low despite expected surge Becky O'Guin

The METROPOLITAN Fall enrollment numbers are not meeting the expectations of Metro officials and they are calling students at home to find out why. Vernon Haley, vice president of Student Services ordered his staff to call approximately 3,500 students Wednesday. Employees phoned students who applied or attended school last spring and fall, but did not register. In some cases students were called to let them know they had financial aid waiting for them. "If the student has a financial aid package waiting for them, then we want them to know it and take advantage of it," said Metro President Sheila Kaplan. Lower enrollment means less money in the budget. Kaplan issued a college-wide hiring freeze until specific figures are available. 1be hiring freeze 路 does not affect

positions in which searches have begun or people who have been offered a position at the college, Kaplan said. "It's a precautionary move. I just want to make sure that when we see the final tallies, we are able to respond to whatever the financial implications could be," Kaplan said. As of Aug. 13 enrollment was down about 7 percent from the same time last year. Metro officials can't explain the reason for the enrollment shortfall. Kaplan and Haley maintain that it is too early to think that this is an emergency, but said firm figures should be available Sept. 7 . The drop in enrollment comes in the face of the Colorado Commission on Higher Education's enrollment boom projections presented to the legislature last year. The projections were based through the year 2001. Geri Reinardy, external relations officer for the commission said the projections are still valid and that they project a percentage increase in college enrollment state-wide for the year. The projections were based on histor-

ical trends and a surge in K-12 enrollment. Metro is not the only college experiencing an early decrease in enrollment. Michael Poindexter, vice president of student services at the Community College of Denver said some of the shortfall could be contributed to Denver's thriving economy.

"When the economy is good, education and enrollments in college goes down," Potndexter said. CCD's enrollment is down, but most of its. students enroll the week classes begin according to Poindexter.

Metro runs out of~ schedules, catal楼 Rick Baca

Geraldine Haldner The METROPOLITAN During the first week of August, the supply of Metro fall schedules and college catalogs ran dry. One student was inconvenienced. "I came down here, to get a new schedule, but everywhere I went there were none. I almost didn't:make the deadline for tuition because I wasn't expecting it to be so soon," said Freshman Troy Markgraf. Tami Avery, an admissions receptionist, said in the last month 300 to 500 fall schedules were sent out each week . "'Ibey were being sent out like mad.

The requests for them were coming in every hour of every day,'' Avery said. The fall schedules were printed and rush-delivered Aug. 10, Avery said. The catalogs are expected by Aug. 15. The college decided to print the fall schedules in Febru_ary to give students an early warning of costs and information. 'Ibis was the first time Metro printed schedules before the summer session. 1ltey printed the same amount as last year-55,000. "We didn't count on students picking them up during the summer. If we had, we might of printed more," said Robert Brock, assistant vice president of Communications and Media Relations. "It was just a guess."

Metro students will be having classes in four temporary trailer classrooms this semester while the Plaza Building undergoes reconstruction. The shortage of classrooms partially came from the reconstruction of the Plaza Building, said Thomas Gray, assistant dean of admissions and records. The Plaza building housed 13 temporary classrooms. The classrooms, located to the west of the Arts Building, will be on campus until the end of the Spring 1996 semester, said Dean Wolf, vice president for operations at Auraria. "We chose the trailers because there was nothing else available on campus," Wolf said. Wolf said approximately $20,000 of the $70,000 cost will be spent on wheelchair accessibility, heaters, air conditioning and other related items. Some parking on 9th Street might be affected by the buildings. The Plaza Building is undergoing reconstruction, and isn't anticipated to be completed until Fall 1996. When construction is finished, the Plaza Building will contain 25-30 additional classrooms. "Our main concern was to keep something on campus because time is a

major concern for both students and faculty," Gray said.

Students get free ride on RTD local bus routes Liz Christensen The METROPOLITAN Students on the Auraria Campus have an additional benefit, their student ID's will allow them to ride all RID local bus routes and the new light rail system for free. Students at the three schools approved the program in April and each institution's governing board approved the plan. Students have been assessed a $15.41 fee on their tuition statements for the bus pass program. RTD will receive $14.96 of the amount collected and the remaining 45 cents is an institutional fee assessed by each school to cover collection expenses. Students will be charged a discounted rate of 50 cents for express service which are more direct routes offered during peak times and $1 .50 for regional service which are routes to areas such as Boulder, Evergreen and other outlying areas. Bus passes have been available to students for $25 a month. The two-year pilot program began Aug. 14 and is available to anyone with an Auraria student identification card for two weeks. After the two week grace period, students must have fall validation stickers to use the program. The program is part of a Denver region air-quality campaign according to Andrew Hudson, spokesman for RID. "Auraria commuters are the single largest commuting population in downtown Denver,'' Hudson said. "A similar program in Boulder increased ridership by 90 percent" JoAnn Soker, former vice president of administration for Auraria, said this is an opportunity to accommodate for growth on the campus without having to build more parking facilities. Andy ChitwOoct, director of parking and transportation for Auraria, said the amount of parking available is adequate for the number of students that are on campus at any one time. and that based on enrollment forecasts the parking is enough

to accommodate students for at least the next five years. The cost of parking on campus is between a $1 .50 and $2.00 a day and that, combined with the cost of gasoline, can add up. The campaign to establish the program began in early 1993, according to Chitwood, and is modeled after a program at University of Colorado-Boulder. Metro student Charles Buchanan was instrumental in establishing the program and getting the idea before the Auraria Board. The breakdown of the student vote was: School CCD MSCD UCO Total

Metro president outlines benefit of special tuition increase Donna Hickey The METROPOLITAN

Improved student services and 12 additional teachers will be available this fall due to the special 4 percent tuition increase approved by the legislature. As a result of the increased tuition dollars, the number of full time faculty will increase, and class sizes in lower division classes will be reduced. In addition, direct student services that impact graduation and retention will be improved, according to Metro President Sheila Kaplan's E-mail to the college community dated June 12. Her memo stated that approximately $760,000 came from the tuition increase. She allocated $613,000 to Academic Affairs and $150,000 to Student Services. Provost Sharon A. Siverts said the money allocated to Academic Affairs provides l 0 new teachers in the School of Letters, Arts and Sciences and two for the School of Professional Studies. Siverts said these faculty positions are

in lower division first-year courses to provide smaller classes. Vernon Haley, vice president of Student Services, said he is working to provide more support services for first time students and improve the graduation and retention rate of all students. Haley said student services will hire seven administrators to work on recruiting ethnic minorities and develop a two-year college recruitment plan. Haley said he hopes to have an evaluation center to provide immediate review of transfer credits by the middle of the semester. He said some enhanced student services include: •A stronger mentoring program. • An early warning program for first-time students who aren't attending class. • More academic counselors. All student support services will be available to students on the first floor of the central classroom building by fall.

Auraria budget cuts target student services Auxiliary services included Tivoli Student Union, book center, child care; all face fiscal ax Geraldine Haldner The METROPOLITAN

Auraria officials and the chief financial officers of the three colleges are working overtime to put together a deficit reduction plan for this year's Auxiliary Services Budget. A new balanced budget could be approved as soon as Monday by the Auraria Board - two months after the July 1 deadline. The Auxiliary Services Budget covers finances of the Tivoli Student Union, the Auraria Child Care Center, and the

Auraria Book Center. According to the latest proposal, which would cover the $640,000 deficit of the initial budget, students will still have to expect some limitations in services. Yet controversial cuts at the child care center, such as eliminating the lunch program and not admitting children subsidized by social services, will not be realized. Unlike earlier proposals, the latest deficit reduction plan includes one-time cuts such as reduced public safety, elimination of travel accounts and a hiring freeze for vacancies in the three service providing institutions.

'We Is Metro's multicultural

graduation requirement more about color than culture?

story

by Louis A. Landa photo illustrations

by Chris Mancuso and Jenny Sparks

John Morris is an angry student. This Metro senior says it is unfair that he should be forced to fulfill the Multicultural Requirement for graduation with the classes from a limited number of cultures. He says Metro should add courses other than African American, Chicano, and Native American Studies if it truly wants to consider itself multicultural. And for a solution, this self-described "German American" demands that a German Culture and Civilization course be included in the list of 24 classes now available to meet the Multicultural Requirement. Morris says he is prepared to take Metro to court if the college does not comply with his adamant request. Morris' effort rekindles the debate over multiculturalism at this college and on campus. What direction will the new dialogue take this issue and can a college that prides itself on diversity teach multiculturalism if only certain ethnic groups are represented? Is this an issue of culture or color? Metro added multicultural courses to its General Studies Requirements in the late 1980s, but it was later refined and made a graduation requirement in 1992. Initially the goal was simple: select courses that introduce students to cultures from a variety of ethnic groups to broaden their understanding of these cultures. The framework was assembled and the program was set. "There is an agreement that there should be a multicultural requirement," said Jett Conner, associate vice president of Academic Affairs for Metro. "But that is probably where the agreement ends."

Conner said the debate over this issue is nothing new. "This is a fluid issue," he said. 'This is nothing that is fixed." Conner expects the program to undergo further revisions this year. The college has struggled to agree on a definition of multiculturalism, much less develop a complete and comprehensive list of acceptable courses. The original definition was clear, direct and simple: 'The intent and purpose of multicultural education at Metropolitan State College of Denver is for students, staff, faculty and community to increase their appreciation and awareness of the American culture and the diverse culture to which they contribute." David Williams, Provost and vice president for Academic Affairs for Metro in 1991, approved this definition and it appeared in the 1991-93 Metro college catalog. Soon after the approval of this definition another was proposed which focused on the four federally protected ethnic groups: African American, Native American, Hispanic American and Asian American. This definition goes further by including "groups with these minorities characterized by gender, sexual orientation, age or disability." For some, this new definition exceeded the initial scope of the requirement. Metro Chemistry Professor Wilton Flemon is actively involved in the issue of diversity and multiculturalism on this campus. He considers himself "a student of the black colleges." He says that even at those colleges and universities that consist pre- · dominately of African American students and faculty, the curriculum still possessed a Eurocentric base. This is the reason Flemon says that the education process and academic philosophy should include "all voices." 'The intent of the multicultural pro-

gram is to increase the knowledge of our students, in fact our faculty, of the contribution that have been made to society by African Americans, Chicanos and Latino Americans, Native Americans, Asian Americans and women." Flemon says there is an imbalance that needs to be corrected and the Multicultural Requirement does this.

... He offers his volumes of chemistry textbooks as evidence. Flemon laments the fact that most of these books contain very few references to people of color. While this is an issue of academic balance for some, it's an issue of "social justice" for others. This is one of the concerns of Metro Speech Professor Karen Krupar, who developed a three-page paper on the new incarnation of the multicultural debate. "I suggest that we begin by distinguishing 'multicultural' concerns, including our current graduation requirement from our 'social justice' concerns on the campus," explains Krupar. She says to have a healthy and logical debate these questions must be examined as disparate dialogues. Krupar, a Native American who identifies herself as a feminist, says these two perspectives make it difficult for her to enter the debate. She says the contributions from womep should be included, but concludes that this may not fit some peo-

ples definition of multicultural. If a concrete definition of "multicultural" is the answer, it can also be the first step to preventing further problems. "It is the clarity of the issue that could cause problems," said David Conde, chairman of Metro's Department of Modern Languages. "When you clarify this issue there may be certain groups or courses on the outside and the college may not be willing to do that at this point." Conde sees this as one of the possible reasons for the limited selection in the "multicultural" course pool. "If I'm going to go to my faculty and ask them to develop courses for the Multicultural Requirement, then I better have a very specific set of guidelines for them,'' he said. And for now, the college cannot give that to him. The college has a new definition for the Multicultural Graduation Requirement (see sidebar.) This may address the question of terms, but it does not address the question of courses and curriculum. "The program doesn't report to anyone," said Conner. "The Multicultural Requirement doesn't have a home." And

this, says Conner, is part of the problem. The Faculty Senate and its Curriculum Committee, do have some jurisdiction over what courses are taught at Metro. Courses must be approved by the committee and then approved by the full

Faculty Senate before going to the vice president of Academic Affairs. If a faculty member wants to add a course they start with the committee, but that does not automatically make it an accepted course for the Multicultural Requirement. The course must meet specific guidelines. The problem is that a new set of guidelines is still in the planntng stage. If there is change in the Multicultural Requirement this year, it will likely come from the Faculty Senate. It has played a part in past debates on the subject and it is here that Morris will start his push for a German Culture and Civilization course. The Faculty Senate has wrestled with the multicultural question before. At the April 21, 1993 meeting it voted to change the "multicultural" definition to one that removes all references to specific cultures and it also added groups including gender, . sexual orientation, age and disability. They also voted on a measure that would have increased the amount of multicultural credits required for graduation from three to six. The motion failed by a vote of 40 to 11. The answer to the Multicultural Requirement question must include student voices. This is echoed by the faculty and administrators. But if you were looking for a unified voice among students you will be disappointed. Morris says the Multicultural Requirement goes beyond Affirmative Action and contends that it's racist. "Racism is very much alive here,'' said Morris. "It's mostly against whites." "If (the Multicultural Requirement) is only restricted to a few courses, that is racist," Morris said. He says the requirement is a good idea, but it i.s far too limited. The limitations cause the opposite of the desired effect. "We tried to build bridges, instead we erected walls." Other students don't agree with Morris' assessment of the multicultural requirement, but they do have respect for his

efforts. "I felt that I should validate them, because they are doing the same thing we did, which was try to get the classes we wanted," said Maria Corral, president of Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan, a Metro club promoting the educational, political and social needs of Latino students. Corral returns the discussion to a need for understanding the contributions of people of color. She says the low enrollment of students of color makes it difficult for them to feel comfortable on campus. "It is important to be sensitive to people who are different from you. I think the Multicultural Requirement is a start," she said. Melissa Munoz, vice president of diversity for Metro's Student Government Assembly, says the issue goes beyond multiculturalism and is going into diversity. "I think, traditionally, the term "multicultural" has referred to the four ethnic groups and if you go beyond that it becomes路 a matter of diversity," said Mufioz. She understands the need for changes in the terms and scope of the program. Mufioz sees the changing state of the Multicultural Requirement as part of the growing process. "As we evolve our needs change, our opinions change and we change." The changes won't be easy, but most people on this campus recognize the need. It will require all voices and active contributions from administrators, faculty and students.

Evolution of a term This is a chronology of the changing m1ss1on statement for the Multicultural Requirement at Metro.

1991-93 Metro college catalog 'The intent and purpose of multicultural education at Metropolitan State College of Denver is for students, staff, faculty and community to increase their appreciation and awareness of the American culture and the diverse culture to which they contribute."

,.,

Alternate de(mition proposed by Metro Provost and V.ce President of Academic Affairs, David Willbum, on Nov. 5, 1991.

"Multicultural education experiences or offerings examine the interactions of values and beliefs, traditions, identities, and contributions of cultural and ethnic minorities in the U.S.: Native Amedcan, African American, Hispanic American, and Asian American; which may include groups with these minorities characterized by gender, sexual orientation, age or disability." Definition as approved by the Metro Faculty Senate on April 14, 1993. "Multicultural educational experiences or offerings, examine the interaction of values and beliefs, traditions, identities and contributions of the following: cultural groups and ethnic minorities; groups characterized by gender, sexual orientation, age, or disability." 1994-95 Metro college catalog "Multicultural courses are designed to increase student' appreciation and awareness of diverse cultures." Current Metro definition for 1995-96 courses are "Multicultural designed to increase students' appreciation and awareness of the American culture and the diverse cultures which contribute to it. Multicultural educational offering~ examine the interactions of values and beliefs, traditions, identities, and cultural contributions of women, and racial and ethnic groups in the United States; African American, Asian American, Hispanic American, and Native American."

us. We need you to talk to us. We need you to let us know if we are serving your needs. We are the staff of The Metropolitan. My name is Louis A. Landa Louis A. Landa and I am the editor in chief of Metro's college newspaper for the 199596 school year. I am a 34-year-old senior majoring in journalism. Enough about me. It is time to talk about The Metropolitan. The Metropolitan was established in 1979. Since then it's has been operated by Metro students for Metro students. We have a long tradition of excellence. It consistently wins awards regionally and a few national awards have come our way. Yes, we make mistakes from time to time. We

serve you - the students. You may wonder why I keep emphasizing the students. We are not here for the administration, faculty or staff of this college, we are here for you. Students encounter situations that often make them feel like second dass citizens on this campus. It could be a professor who is unwilling to listen to a students' concern about how his ethnic group is treated in class. Another student may feel her political views are not receiving fair treatment by a professor. Some students may feel disenfranchised by administrative red tape that seems to leave them at the mercy of the professor when it comes to a grade appeal. Other students could be bewildered by the fact that they pay almost $1,000 per semester for tuition and then pay an additional $2 per day for parking, while some-

I can go on, and I am sure you can offer your own examples. The fact remains, if it were not for the students there would be no Metropolitan State College. Often it seems we are an afterthought on this campus. We will do our best to serve you and never make you feel like you are an afterthought to us. We need your help. We need your comments and opinions. Everything we write will not always please everyone. We realize that is an impossible task. So when we write something that differs from how you see it, come talk to me, or write me a letter. People often ask me to identify my agenda or goal for The Metropolitan. I tell them: "To be fair, balanced and accurate." It sounds so simple.

etro student Johnnie Johnson defies convention when it comes to stereotyping the physically challenged. While his blindness occasionally sets up roadblocks toward achieving his goals, he's learned to defiantly overcome them. He's done this in part through the inspiration of those visually impaired achievers who came before him. Johnson was inspired after reading Judy Collins' book in which she talks about her father, a blind Denver newscaster, who reads from Braille while looking directly into the camera as if reading from a TelePrompTer. Johnson, 36, a speech communications major, has surprised students and teachers who previously viewed the disabled as dependent on the able. He has produced two TV series for Denver Community TV and hopes to get them aired as public affairs programs after he graduates. lnnervision, his primary series, focuses on the concerns and issues of Denver's physically challenged, especially the blind, and delves into how they overcome life's obstacles. His Power in Victory series deals with religion and music. His production quality is equal to or better than that of his sighted colleagues. Using the soundtrack to edit the video, Johnson sometimes helps sighted fellow producers to edit their work. Not only is he a TV producer and fulltime student, but he also runs his own recording studio and manages a couple of local bands for a living. Johnson graduated from Community College of Denver with an associate degree and will make TV production his livelihood when he finishes school.

Comparing the two schools be said that CCD had better disabilities support services. In particular, the work of Jackie King, because she did the work of several people. But Metro is coming along, especially in the area of talking computers, he said. He has written many papers on these and is able to scan in class handoutS and convert them to Braille. "Metro teachers are bending over backwards to explain what they are writing on the board so I'm not left in the dark. I'm recording the class so when I go back and listen to the tape I have that mental registering," Johnson said. Johnson is changing the perception of the physically challenged on and off campus. ''I'm exposing a lot of broadcast people to those with visual impairments and I'm finding it very entertaining to see the misconceptions they have," Johnson said. They are surprised that he owns a business and works for a living, and are even more amazed at his ability to do stand-up interviews as well as sighted reporters who read their questions from notes, he said. Johnson said he missed a lot of opportunities when he was in his 20's because he was insecure and didn't believe in himself. But he just kept plugging away and has learned to turn obstacles into opportunities.

t's that time again. Time for Hollywood to bring out another movie in which that special person shows up at the high school from hell and rescues the lost students from certain doom. There was Jim Belushi in the forgettable The Principal, Morgan Freeman as no-nonsense Joe Clark in Lean on Me and Edward James Olmos in Stand and Deliver. The men must step aside this time for Michelle Pfeiffer's portrayal of LouAnne Johnson, an ex-marine turned English teacher. Dangerous Minds is based on Johnson's book "My Posse Don't Do Homework." Apparently, somebody didn't do their homework for this movie. Dangerous Minds is a great, if often told, story with an

feature film debut, fills the movie with some worthless moments that could have otherwise been used to give the audience a better glimpse into the lives and minds of the troubled youth. He does this on occasion, but the moments are brief and leave too many questions unanswered. One scene in particular involves two students who are pulled from class by their grandmother. She feels that the boys should be out of school and working rather than dabbling in lyrics and poetry. How does this effect the two boys? We never know. The scene ends with the grandmother's objections and we never get to see how the boys react. Johnson is told by one student that the best way to get the class to cooperate is to challenge Emilio. One might get the impression that the billiards scene shown

even greater cast that never reaches its full potential and never lets the audience too close to the characters. Johnson left her military career to become an English teacher. She is tricked into teaching the class from hell after being told it was a class of special students. Johnson thinks she is getting the cream of the crop instead of the bottom of the barrel. She soon discovers that the students are actually very bright, but are so programmed to accept failure that they've never been given the chance to blossom. She brings them out of their intellectual shells with the lyrics of Bob Dylan songs, which eventually leads to real poetry. Many times she bribes the students with gifts for doing well. Candy bars for correct answers, a trip to an amusement park for completing an assignment and an expensive dinner for the students who can complete a contest involving poetry. There is a class clown of course, Emilio Ramirez played by Wade Dominguez. He is the one who refuses to cooperate always finding a way to push Johnson to the edge, but eventually concedes. The movie lacks focus. It's never clear if this is a movie about Johnson and her experience, or the students. It lightly skims the surface of each subject, never offering any depth. Director John N. Smith, making his

so much in the previews would be this moment. It would have been a perfect opportunity to get to know the characters. It never happens though. The scene was axed and, Johnson merely challenges Ramirez to a game of high card. A weak replacement for what could have been a great scene. Minds does have its bright spots, however. The movie has brief moments where we get to see the teens' problems and how their lives are a constant state of struggle and conflict. But the glimpses are brief and leave the viewer crying to know more. We see them dismissed by the administration as being lost causes. Emilio's life is in danger at one point, and he goes to the principal for help only to be turned away for failing to knock before entering his office. The students do talk briefly about themselves, but the only character's thoughts and feelings we get to see a bit closer are Emilio's and Johnson's. Even though it is a formula flick and has its weak spots, it's not a terrible movie. It does offer some good insights to the problems of inner city teens and has some very strong and touching moments. But like the teens portrayed on screen, the film never reached its full potential. Unfortunately, there's no one to come in to rescue the movie.

anga video, importer of "fine" Japanese animation, has recently hit your local warehouse store with a new line of English overdubbed Japanese video entertainment. These newto-the-States offerings reside in a snappy new display, chock full of colorful video jackets sure to grab an isle-wandering youngster's fancy. At first glance, the parental guidance decal made no impression on me. Heck, I was to busy jockeying my way through a pack of sixth graders to even notice the warning. Well, I hope their parents noticed. Of the three videos I sat through, all bearing the glossy Manga logo, two were almost too painful to actually get through. The third, as it turns out, made the pain almost worth enduring. Devil Man Volume I, The Birth and Volume 2, Demon Bird are a mish-mash of severed limbs and demonic possession sprinkled with a bit of animated nudity and a huge dose of unwarranted expletives that had my ears turning red. Amidst a weak, meandering soundtrack which rarely fits the action, and an awkward, halting overdub, winds a laughable parade of Scooby Doo-esque squiggly demon critters who face off against our young hero Akira (Akira fans note: there is no relation to the incredible mid-1980's

This feisty little series is an offshoot of the science fiction Macross found in both comic book, animated film and book form. Macross Plus follows the lives of strangely believable characters in a near future of super-morphing military might and tantalizing complex human relationships. The world to which Part 2 alludes is of a depth rarely found in an animated series.

.Sports news, briefs and signings Michael BeDan The METROPOLITAN

Soccer The women's soccer team will start the season with a preseason ranking of No. I 0 in the nation. Last year's squad reached a high of No. 3 after a 9-0 start. The Roadrunners finished the year losing seven of 11 and just missed a tournament bid. The men's soccer team will start fresh in 1995 with a new head coach. Brian Crookham will take over a struggling program that won just seven of 20 games last season and finished 4-8 in the Colorado Athletic Conference. Crookham left his head coaching pos1t1on at Moore High School, Okiahoma's fourth largest high school. Crookham was the 1992 Oklahoma Soccer Coaches Association Coach of the Year and West Region All-State Coach. He played soccer from 1988-91 for the University of Oklahoma

Basketball 1-

The women's basketball team added a familiar face to the coaching staff for the 1995-96 season. Four-year standout Mary Henry will assist Darryl Smith in coaching the team just one year removed from a stellar con-

ference season as a player and a second place finish in the CAC Tournament. The men's basketball team will likely return just two players from last year's unit that finished with the worst record in Metro history. Coach Charles Bradley added eight new players including Cory Reader, a 7foot transfer from Brigham Young University. In addition to Reader, Bradley signed three local prep players. DeMarcos Anzures comes to Metro from Skyview High School. Anzures, the 1995 4A Player of the Year, is a 6-foot-1 guard and averaged 26 points per game in his senior season. Martin Glastetter is a 6-foot-6 forward from Highlands Ranch High School. Jeremy Ward rounds out the preps and comes to Metro from Poudre High School standing 6-foot-6 and averaging 18 points a game at guard in his final season at Poudre. The Roadrunners beefed up with junior college transfers as well, signing four. Metro signed Paul Durham, a 6-foot-8 forward from Victor Valley Community College who averaged 15 points a game and was heavily recruited by Division I and II schools last spring. Adrian Navarro is a 6-foot-7 forward from Arizona Wester Junior College and

comes to Metro after averaging 10 points and eight rebounds per game in two seasons at AWJC. Ebony Pruitt is a local product who played high school ball for George Washington and transfers to the Roadrunners from Northeastern Junior College. Pruitt is a 6-foot-3 guard. Rounding out the transfers is Jeff Stumme, a 6-foot-3 guard from Mesa Community College. Stumme averaged 12 points and four rebounds and is considered a defensive specialist. Metro addressed a major weakness from last year's team - height. The 199495 team averaged 6-foot-2 with four players under six feet tall when the season began. The tallest player was 6-foot-8. The new recruits average 6-foot-5.

Volleyball Metro volleyball coach Rhonda Williams said it all last spring when she evaluated her new players. "This recruiting class is by far my best since I arrived to Denver in 1990," she said. "We signed a great mix of junior college transfers and freshmen that will all be major factors in our success next season. These players may have the best physical talent of any I have recruited in the five years I have been here. With this group we could have a couple great years ahead."

Leading the charge is Tala Pole. a junior from Spokane Falls Community College in Spokane, WA. Pole is a six foot middle blocker and chose Metro over Division I power Illinois.

Baseball Metro baseball coach Vince Porreco attempted to revamp his roster with eight signings over the summer. The signees from Colorado include Chad Thoutt, third baseman and pitcher from Westminster High School; Mike Henthorn, infielder from Bear Creek High: Travis Betz, outfielder from Northglenn High: Joe Holloway, pitcher from Lakewood High; Donovan Pokraka, shortstop from Englewood high; Justin Liuzzi, pitcher from Standley Lake High. The Roadrunner also added a pair of college transfers. Mark Sheley, a pitcher, transferred from Garden City Community College and Craig Leisge, a first baseman, transferred from Colby Commumty College.

Next week Look for a full preview of Metro's volleyball squad and the women's and men's soccer teams. The full schedule for fall sports will appear next week.
