Aurora police are continuing their search for a Metro student who has been missing since Aug. 10. Jennifer "Jenny" Sue Larsen, 21, was last seen leaving a friend's house at 3:00 a.m., according to Mark Hellenschmidt, public information officer for the Aurora ~ police department. "Right now we're at ground zero," he said. Hellenschmidt said Aurora police are seeking media assistance because Larsen hasn't tried to contact her family, co-workers or anyone.

Auraria Board approves reduction in • services, cuts staff at student union. Geraldine Haldner The METROPOLITAN

The latest deficit reduction plan for the Auxiliary Services budgets states students won't have to pay more to cover the deficit. The budgets were approved Monday. The Auxiliary Services Budgets cover the financial standings of service providing institutions such as the Auraria Book Center, the Tivoli Student Union and the Auraria Child Care Center. The reduction plan states the services _ and programs budgets for these three will be cut by more than $400,000. Administrative costs in the same three areas will be reduced by almost $240,000. These service budgets, along with other Auxiliary budgets are part of the Student Bond Fund Budget. Deadline for approval is June 31 of each fiscal year. The Auraria Board of Directors passed the Student Facilities Bond Fund Budget - after 't':"'o months of haggling over ways to get rid of the $640,000 shortfall. "I think this is proof that we can work positively and effectively toward a common goal," said a relieved Dean Wolf,

"She was just taking mostly general education requirements," be said. Larsen was born in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and moved here halfway through high school. She graduated from Overland High School in 1992. Police are asking anyone with any information regarding her disappearance, or anyone who has seen her or her car in the last two weeks to contact the Aurora Major Crimes Unit Tip Line at 341-8523.

"We can't make everybody happy," said Wolf to the members of the board, "But I think we have reached a compromise that we all can live with for at least a year." The initial Student Bond Fund Budget, presented to the board in June, proposed covering it.s. $640,000 deficit with money from the Bond Fund Reserves. The board rejected the budget and asked Auraria officials, the chief financial officers for the Auraria colleges and student representatives to come back with a deficit reduction plan. Those responsible for the reductions were asked to balance the budget without increasing students' fees, reducing basic public safety or neglecting maintenance of buildings on campus. After Monday's vote, several members of the board congratulated all involved on the deficit reduction plan. "I' m. impressed how everybody rolled up their sleeves and went back to make the necessary cuts," said board member Cole Finnegan.

Tivoli Student Union gets marketing coordinator Kristy Frei The METROPOLITAN

A new position designed to bring more foot traffic and business to the Tivoli Student Union has been created. After months of searching and many interviews, 33year-old Sandy Torres was chosen as the director of Marketing for the Tivoli. ''The goal for a marketing director is for everyone to know we are here," said Dave Caldwell, lease manager for the Tivoli. "We want Sandy to utilize her skills and abilities to put together a marketing plan for the Tivoli." A portion of rent from the Tivoli shop-owners pays back the bond that funded the renovation and purchase of the Tivoli. The AMC theaters draws non-student crowds on weekends, evenings and school breaks. Philip Bustos, division director of Student Services said the Tivoli needs art increase in student traffic for the merchants to boost their business. Torres has extensive background in public relations, marketing and journalism. She has a degree in mass communication with an emphasis on public relations from the University of Southern Colorado. She also has a degree in Spanish from University of Colorado-Denver and is pursuing a master's degree. Torres said she has background in everything that will make her new job go smoothly. "I have worked with

the state ten years before receiving this job," she said. Having been the associate editor of the Denver weekly, La Voz News, a bilingual newspaper, and a public relations manager for the Colorado Tourism Board as well as public relations manager for the Colorado Lottery. Torres said she sees herself producing a marketing plan for the Tivoli, researching the campus, coordinating special events and working with the Chamber of Commerce; all to enhance business for the Tivoli. In her new position Torres will be making a salary of $28-30,000 a year. The marketing director job description states the position is responsible for ongoing marketing and advertising plans that will increase sales for the Tivoli. It also states various public relations and promotional activities to enhance user experience and attract new clientele. Debbie Arseneau, an owner of The Daily Grind coffeehouse in the Tivoli, said she is behind the new position 100 percent. "A marketing director will be able to take some of the responsibility off of us for advertising," Arseneau said. "I am here and would like to offer myself to the public and will listen to what they have to say," Torres said. "I like to think that my door will always be open," she said.

Graphic Design by Chris Mancuso

Metro's Grade Review Committee is working through its fifth draft of a new grade appeal procedure and have only now begun to get student input. Charlie Allbee, chairman of the committee for the last two years, says any student input is too much student input. .•

Allbee said he wrote the first draft of the new procedure, which was in turn revised by Jett Conner, associate vice president of Academic Affairs, who then passed it on to Scot Silzer, a Metro attorney. Silzer made the final revisions, and sent it back to Allbee. "Originally, the Grade Review Committee was concerned about some of the procedures," Allbee said. "I drafted a few amendments to the materials." Those amendments are awaiting review by the Faculty Senate. If the Faculty Senate approves, the committee will be able to adopt the new procedure. However, Allbee said, "It isn't clear what the procedure for adoption is."

As late as the fourth draft, Student Government Assembly President Safa Suleiman said she and other assembly members were incensed by the lack of student involvement in what was such a student-oriented issue. "I'm deeply distressed by this," she said. They will be attending the next Faculty Senate meeting to voice their concerns with the way the process has been handled. She said she hoped the student government's presence at the meeting will have a productive effect, perhaps even getting a student presence on the committee.

According to Allbee, those voices have no place in the proceedings. 'This is a faculty policy, instituted by the faculty," Allbee said. "It involves only faculty rights and liabilities." He said it is not appropriate for students to share the responsibilities that come with involvement in either the procedure review process or the committee itself. Silzer, however, doesn't share Allbee's views. After the fourth draft was completed, he said he spoke with assembly members and liked what he heard. "They made some great suggestions," he said. "That input is valuable." Silzer said he was even able to include some of those suggestions in the fifth draft, which he is revising. "Most of the changes have been small things, editorial things," Silzer said. "The major thing I changed was dropping the clause requiring the dean's approval for grade changes involving mathematical or administrative error, which is an issue the students raised." Suleiman said once she and other assembly members met with Silzer, things took a tum for the better. Suleiman said information that Chief Justice Pete Rutt gave her suggested "things went fantastic." She met with Eugene Saxe, president of the Faculty Senate, to discuss her concerns about the lack of student involvement up to this point. "He was very congenial in his understanding that student input is needed," she said. Not according to Allbee. "My concern is that only faculty can change the grade." Allbee said. "From . that perspective, I don't see why students should be involved. That presents the view that the faculty are incapable of responding to the due process rights of students, which is a view I don't share." The view he does share, however, seems to be unpopular with the students. 'This is entirely a student's rights issue," said Chris Baur, second year Metro student. "I can't believe the administration would have the audacity to state otherwise." Kevin Jackson, Metro sophomore, shared a similar view. ''The way the policy stands now, the

student has the option of being screwed by the teacher or the chair or the dean!" he said. "Some choice! Then, even if the committee says the student is right, he still gets screwed! Am I the only one who sees something wrong with that?" Under the current grade appeal policy, a student unhappy with a grade should first speak with the professor. If they are unable to reach a compromise, the student may start the grade appeal process. The process must be started within two weeks of the semester after the class was taken. The student must then speak with the professor again. If the professor still won't change the grade, the student must Âˇ appeal to the department chair. If the professor still can't get the grade changed, the issue is moved to the dean. The final step in the process, assuming the first three have failed, is to go before the grade review committee. They will review all documentation and arrange a meeting with the student and the professor. After hearing both sides, the committee will make a ruling. If they rule in favor of the professor, the grade will stand. If they rule in favor of the student, the professor is given one more chance to change the grade. A ruling in favor of the student does not guarantee the grade change. Nobody except the professor has the power to change the grade. If the professor wants to leave the grade the way it is, the student may either take a "no credit" or let the grade stand. That person is then allowed to retake the course and have the cost of the class waived. At no time during the procedure is anyone allowed to appear with legal counsel. The proposed changes include allowing the committee to change a grade received through an administrative or mathematical error, and removing the recording of minutes from the dean meeting, because they would be "too formal, and legalistic ... additional work not warranted," according to the draft. The Metro Faculty senate will meet Tuesday at 3:30 p.m. in the Tivoli to discuss the new appeal procedure.

To reinforce this even further, I would like to present our mission statement this year. The 1995-96 student government is committed to ensuring that the voice of Metro students is heard by the administration, faculty, staff, Auraria and other governing entities. In doing so, we continually strive to reach this goal by generating accessibility to the systems which are in place to serve students and cultivating a relationship between the student body and SGA by building a forum where students' views are heard. We will work to empower students through our promise to be a visible and proactive.administration Welcome back to new and returning Metro students, my name is Safa Suleiman and I am the president of the SGA.

The

Metro administration needs to be honest with students I was very concerned by the bill I received for the fall semester. There is a substantial difference between the amount that Metro Louis A. Landa is billing me and the amount listed in the fall class schedule. My bill is $70 higher than I expected. Have you noticed a difference? If not, I suggest you take another look at your bill. You might be surprised. Metro printed the fall schedule in February to help students plan their time and finances. The only problem is that between the initial printing and the beginning of the fall semester, tuition increased and students approved a $15.41 RTD bus pass fee, neither of which appear in the Tuition & Mandatory Fee Box located on page 17 of the fall schedule. I don't know about you, but $70 is a fair chunk of change. And if the whole idea of printing schedules early was to help students plan, I think it would be fairly important to tell students about these changes. The college reprinted the fall schedules in August, months after the tuition and fee changes were final. Much to my surprise the same figures appeared in the second printing. Metro officials say they did not have enough time or money to make the changes. The second printing was a "rush job." So, how do you find out about this increase in tuition and fees. You can wait for your bill or you can go to Central

Classroom 110 and ask for an updated Tuition and Fees Schedule (or look down about six inches). The crazy thing about going to CN 110 is you have to ask for the revised tuition scale. This information is not offered, there is no sign telling you about this change. Why? Your guess is as good as mine. It could be that Metro administrators feel you should already know about this tuition increase. If you happen to read press releases coming from their Office of College Propaganda, you approved it! In a July 6, press release titled: "IN RARE MOVE, STUDENTS OK MORE $$$, Metro Students Approve Tuition Increase" The college promotes that the 1994-95 Metro Student Government Assembly supported the special 4 percent tuition increase. Unfortunately, the press release does not mention that no official vote was taken by the student government and that a caveat was written into the student government resolution. MSCD's SGA hereby approves the proposed tuition increase as specified ••• on March 1, 1995 and requests that any changes to the proposed tuition increase will not be considered to be approved by SGA until SGA is notified of those changes. Former student government President Megan Reyes emphatically denies being informed of any changes. She also said the student government

was pressured into making a quick decision regarding the tuition increase. Reyes said the increase that was finally approved is not the same as the one presented to student government in March. She said the school should send out another press release clearing this matter. Metro President Sheila Kaplan said she thinks the student government was notified of the changes and admitted there could be some confusion over the matter. Despite this acknowledgement, Kaplan continues to milk this decision by a few students. During her address to the college Wednesday she milked it some more. She probably felt safe since students, as a whole, were not invited to her annual State of the College speech. On July 26, the school issued another press release highlighting the student support for the tuition increase. Both press releases include this quote from Joan Foster, then interim provost of Metro: "I'm proud that our students had the confidence in our faculty and admini~tra tion to support us in this endeavor.". I just wonder how many students Ms. Foster personally asked about the tuition increase. Confidence in our administration? The same people who bend the truth regarding student support of a tuition increase? The same people who print one tuition and fees scale, then charge another? Yeah, I have confidence in our administration, but not in the way Ms. Foster thinks.

METROPOLITAN AUGUST 25, 199Q

Co0101unication breakdown Two-character play, Oleanna, chilling story of the importance of words Louis A. Landa The METROPOLITAN

t is chilling to sit in a theater and watch a story unfold that is strikingly similar to events that occurred on this campus. A female student has difficulty understanding a professor's lectures. She finds them confusing and offensive. She gains the help of a faceless group of supporters and together they conspire to end the career of the professor. They use his own words to do it. Oleanna, now on stage at the Denver Civic Theater, examines the dangers of miscommunication and misinterpretation in today's society. Can students or teachers learn if neither is willing to approach learning with an open mind? Can we learn if we are too busy listening to ourselves? Can we learn if we hear only bits and pieces of what another person is saying? Playwright David Mamet captures the precarious state of modem communication: say anything you want as long as you say it the way I want to hear it. Carol (Catherine E. Worster) is a meek college student struggling to understand her class. She jitters through a meeting with her professor, constantly scribbling notes on her tattered note pad in a vain attempt to understand. John (Jon D. McNally) is the professor who reaches out and fashions an open attempt to help Carol. He describes the flaws in higher education and simultaneously exposes his weakness. He is preoccupied with receiving tenure. His phone pulses constant interruptions to the exchange between he and Carol, exacerbating their rift in communication. In the different worlds of student and teacher, each has a du!y to.look at life from the other person's perspective. Oleanna demonstrates the consequences of what happens when we do not. It also highlights the importance of the words we use and the actions we make. In Act I, John tries to understand Carol's difficulties. They talk about the subject (which ironically is education), and she wants to understand. She uses her note pad like a crutch, while John tries to

It's

free her from it. "Tell me in your own words," he says. She is petrified by the idea. Carol breaks down from the stress of the situation and John holds her in an innocent act of comfort. But was it innocent? This is a maddening question in the play. Whose view of a situation is most accurate and true? You see, Carol did not find the embrace so innocent. As the overworked expression goes: "perception is reality." And if Carol's reality was different from John's, does that excuse him? The premise is set for two following acts, where John is pressured as if strapped to the rack with the wheel notching him closer to his breaking point. Controlling the wheel is Carol and her "group," who desire the power previously enjoyed by the college administration and faculty. That power is control over how and what is said in the classroom. This is one of the frightening messages of Oleanna. The idea that groups can control curriculum. John tells ~arol that his job is to provoke her and awaken her interest. But Carol and her group do not agree. In the end John is like a snake eating his tail. Each time he opens his mouth he only further destroys himself. Once accused, guilty or not, can someone---cever revert to their life prior to the accusation? The action knocks at the senses like a broken metronome. Worster and McNally are brilliant. The challenges of a two character play are intimidating, but neither actors show any sign of distraction. These performances border on perfection. · The seasoned McNally never overpowers Worster. This is a tribute to pure ensemble acting. Worster's metamorphosis from a timid and confused student to a confidant dominating figure is breathtaking. McNally descends into a subtle madness as the nature of John's situation becomes more desperate. Director Thomas P. McNally stages the show like live chess pieces, positioning them in offensive and defensive poses. The contrasting positions of dominance between the characters are mirrored by their varying positions on stage.

The ultimate warning of Oleanna is that words can sometimes be used as tools to control you, and the barriers we erect are the origins of miscommunication.

John says it best, "We can only interrupt others by the screens we create." How true.

magine unlocking the secrets of space. Imagine being able to explore the far reaches of the solar system and beyond. In a new Metro class you can. On this fantastic voyage you will be guided by some of the top space specialists in the country. Experts from NASA, Ball Aerospace, and Martin Marietta will be the conductors of this shuttle through the stars. Students will not only be traveling celestial avenues, they'll also be earning three upper-level Natural Science credits. The new course, Rockets and Stars-A Space TrekMET 355, is being offered through the Mechanical Engineering Technology department but will satisfy science-credit requirements. The course was taught by Professor Howard Paynter once in 1986 and was revived this semester. Paynter said he thinks the course has the potential to intrigue a lot of students. The class meets on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6:55 p.m. to 8:10 p.m. and several trips to Gates Planetarium and the Denver Museum of Natural History are scheduled. The trips will include not only lectures and light presentations, but behind the scenes looks at how different aspects of space are recreated on earth. Paynter said he doesn't want the class to just be a lecture course, but instead wants every class to be a presentation. While it may seem like a very showy and costly

production, the class was built around a very tight budget. "You've got to do innovative thinking to get quality lecturers that will bring in students," Paynter said. Paynter is planning to have old colleagues and friends he made while working for industry giants such as General Dynamics and Martin Marietta come in as guest speakers. ''When you have speakers who are experts in their field, they enjoy giving the lecture and the students get

more out of it," Paynter said. Whether the class flies like a comet or crashes like a meteor will be determined by enrollment which right now is at a low 16 students. Yet Paynter remains optimistic about the course. "If we can get the word out there, the class will take off," Paynter said.

Students with ·d isabilities get new computer center Kristy Frei

The METROPOLITAN.

he first day of the Fall 1995 semester kicked off a new computer access center for Metro and University of Colorado-Denver students. Eight computers for students with disabilities are now available in the library. Heading up the operation is Joe Zibrick, instructor and coordinator of the Combined Computer AccPss Centers. Zibrick said he wanted a place where the disabled could learn on computers and feel comfortable knowing the lab is just for them. After many meetings and a lot of coercing, Zibrick landed an Entitlement Grant from the Colorado Disabilities Division of Vocational Rehabilitation to open the new lab. Metro and UCD are also funding a part of the project. The 21-inch monitors, six of which are IBM and two that are Macintosh, visually and vocally help students learn. All the computers' have standard programs but other programs are added that will allow learning to come naturally for students. The "inLarge" program, on Macintosh, gives the screen magnification on all or part of the computer screen. The "MasterTouch" program, a speech synthesizer system allows visually impaired students to hear rather than see the computer screen. The "OutSpoken" program, also designed to help the visually impaired, allows students to navigate Macintosh and Windows programs, giving them instructions and guidance. For the learning disabled "Grammatik IV" is available to proofread all typewrit-

"SoundProof," a speech synthesizer system that reads text on the screen by letter, word, line or paragraph is available on IBM, and a similar program is on Macintosh. After working on the computer lab all summer, Zibrick plans on keeping the lab open eight hours a day Monday through Friday. He is looking for people who can help him keep the lab going. Zibrick said the lab will generally be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., unless the students can't make it during those hours. "All people are welcome to stop in and I'll show them around," Zibrick said.

AUGUST 25, 1995 The METROPOLITAN

Spikers gearing up for smashing 路season 14th ranked Roadrunners enter 1995 season with a new look and high expectaions Michael BeDan The Metropolitan

When the women's team volleyball opens its season Sept. 1 in Hawaii and plays its first home game Sept. 13 against Regis, Metro coach Rhonda Williams expects her revamped team to be impressive. Working with what she calls her "best recruiting class ever," Williams has high hopes for her squad. The Roadrunners finished the season strong last year but it wasn't enough to gain a berth into the NCAA Tournament, a goal the team shoots for each season. They finished 23-14 overall and 9-3 in Colorado Athletic Conference play - including a win over first-place Regis in the season's final game - which was good for a third place CAC finish. "'This year's team is probably more athletic than last year's and we have more depth," Williams said. "It's too early to tell how good they will be but they all like each other and they hive a great attitude and work ethic." Team chemistry will be an important factor since the Roadrunners lost two stellar athletes last year and have nine new faces on the roster. Metro lost Crissy Canada, an AllAmerican who led the CAC in hitting efficiency, kills and blocks. The Roadrunners also lost Chelsea Terrell who was second in kills and was one of the best servers on the team. "Crissy will be the hardest to replace," Williams said. "Her competitiveness and work ethic and talent will be missed. We have a player who will hopefully fill that role in Marnie Salhus-Adams." Salhus-Adams is a 6-foot senior middle-blocker transfering from the University of Denver. She was an allColorado Athletic Conference player her freshman campaign at DU. The problem is getting her eligible to play. An inadvertent NCAA rules-violation threatens to cancel the season for Salhus-Adams. According to Williams, SalhusAdams and a partner participated in doubles tournaments over the summer. NCAA players are not allowed to accept prize money if they plan to remain eligible. While Salhus-Adams didn't accept any cash, her partner did. Unbeknownst to her it is also a violation if a players~ partner accepts cash. "She didn't know she was doing anything wrong and we've appealed and hopefully this will be taken care of before we go to Hawaii," Williams said. "I think she will be allowed to play." To improve on last year's results the Roadrunners will need to get consistent play from all eight new players. Last season the team spent the first two-thirds of the season on a rollercoaster ride. They had three losing streaks of three games or more and four three-game or more winning streaks. The teams' real potential didn't become apparent until the end of the season - the Roadrunners won 10 of 12

HANG TIME: Corey Hostetler, right, spikes the ball over Erika Probst, left, and Kerry Beidleman at volleyball practice on Tuesday. The Roadrunners finished 9-3 in the Colorado Athletic Conference, good for third place. Metro added eight new players to this year's squad and hope to gain a berth in the NCAA Tourney. -

and by then it was too late. "We've got to avoid the slumps this year," WLlliams said. ''We finished really strong and could have been better." To ensure success this season Williams added a whole new look to the team, signing three freshmen and five transfers including Salhus-Adams. "These players may have the best physical talent of any I have recruited in the five years I've been in Denver," Williams said.

New faces - Metro signed Corey Hostetler from Doherty High School in Colorado Springs. Hostetler, a 5-foot-8 outside hitter, earned all-conference and all-state status last season as a senior prep. - Terri Kammerzell, a 6-foot opposite middle-blocker, joins the Roadrunners after a stellar career at Roosevelt High School in Milliken, CO. Kammerzell was an all-conference and all-state selection while playing for the Roughriders. She was also played basketball and ran track. - Laura Mader rounds out the prep signee's. Mader is a 5-foot-9 outside hitter and defensive specialist from Brighton High School. She earned all-conference and all-state honors during her senior season. Mader was also a first-team AllDenver Post selection last fall. - Tala Pole heads the list of players acquired through transfer. Pole is a 6-foot junior middle-blocker from Spokane Falls

Community College in Spokane, WA. She earned all-conference and all-star honors last season and was heavily recruited. bl' Division I power Illinois. -Paula Makridis joins .the Roadrunners after a two-year stint at Cerritos College in Norwalk, CA. Makridis was a Volleyball Monthly second-team All-American pick last season after leading her team to a second-place finish at the California State Junior College Tournament. She is a 5-foot-9 junior outside hitter who earned all-conference and Southern California all-state honors in 1993 and 1994. - Erika Probst, a 5-foot-10 junior middle-blocker, transfers after playing two seasons at Delta Junior College in Stockton, CA. Probst led her team to a first-place finish in the Northern California team rankings in 1994. She earned 1993 All-American status and was named a third-team All-American in 1994 by Volleyball Monthly. She was an all-conference and Northern California all-state selection in 1993 and 1994. - Yolanda Milton comes to Metro from Mid Plains Community College. in North Platte, NE. She is a 5-foot-6 junior outside hitter and was an all-conference, all-region and second-team All-American last season at Mid Plains.

- Kerry Beidlei:nan. a 5-foot-6 junior setter. - Stacey Hoyt, a 5-foot-9 junior outside hitter. - Holly Rice, a 5-foot-10 sophomore right-side hitter. - Katie Ritter, a 5-foot-8 junior set~ ter. - Julie Stranahan, a 5-foot-10 senior right-side hitter. - Leslie Weed, a 5-foot-8 senior outside hitter. The Roadrunners will open the season Sept. 1 in Hawaii in the BYU-Hawaii Invitational and will play their home opener Sept. 13 against Regis at Auraria Events Center at 7 p.m.

AUGUST 25, 1995

Women's soccer determined to bounce back Roadrunners try to eliminate subtle mistakes from last season and reach fall potential Michael BeDan The Metropolitan

If it is true that you learn from mis-

takes and that adversity builds character, the women's soccer team should prepare for a successful campaign in 1995. Last season the Roadrunners sped off to an incredible 9-0 start and a national ranking of No. 3 before tailspinning and losing seven of their last 11 games, The drastic plunge was attributed to youth and a lack of experience. While the young players performed above expectations at times, when the pressure of the high ranking and some tough losses began to weigh heavily, the team chemistry crumbled. The team finished at 7-3-2 in Colorado Athletic Conference matches and 11-7-2 overall. This season Coach Ed Montojo said he hopes a more balanced attack and the experience his team gained last year will help them achieve a more consistent performance level and a better record. "We want to improve on our third place finish in conference," Montojo said. "That is the lowest we have ever finished. Our number one goal is to win the conference." To do that, the Roadrunners must address the vacuum-like hole that was created with the departure of senior Rosie

....

Durbin. Durbin led Metro in scoring (17 goals), assists (6) and points (40). Metro also lost seniors Jessa Montoya and Chrissy McCain. Additionally, Metro will be without Deborah Sapasbe and Melissa Villani. "Deborah is getting out of soccer because her knees are just shot and Melissa is an academic casualty," Montojo said. Filhng the void left by these five players are 11 new ones led by Tracy Mayes, a forward/midfielder. "Tracy Mayes is one girl who is looking really good as a goal scorer," Montojo said. "We are hoping three or four players step up and make up for Rosie's goal scoring." Metro ranked second in the CAC in goal scoring (2.4 per game) and third in goals allowed (1.48 per game). Montojo said he expects his defense to be even better this season. "We are looking to tighten our defense," he said. "We have a quicker team and we will be strong in goal." The Roadrunners return two veteran goal keepers in Chellie McCourt and Jennifer Pierce. McCourt was 8-3-1 last season and gave up just 1.37 goals per game, allowing just 15 on the season and making 64 saves. Her counterpart, Pierce,

was 3-4-1 allowing 1.28 goals per game with 13 goals allowed and 46 saves made. "We will be strong in goal with Chellie and Jennifer," Montojo said. "We would like one or the other to step up and be the goalie but they both play well and we can work with both of them." Metro kicks off its season Sept. 2 against the University of Cal-Davis. Montojo said his team will be tested early and often with the first half of their schedule. They take on local rivals the University of Denver (Sept. 20) and Regis University (Sept. 27) at home and play perennial east coast powerhouse Mercyhurst College (Sept. 30) on the road. "We need to find out where we are right away," Montojo said. "Cal-Davis is traditionally tough so we will find out if we are ready to compete." One advantage the Roadrunners will have this season is a favorable home schedule. Last season Metro played 13 road games compared to just seven at Auraria fields. This season they play nine home matches and eight on the road. "What we like about our field is that it is big," Montojo said. "When we get on smaller fields we feel cramped. We like to spread it out and our field allows us to do that and it favors us."
